Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A Billion at Risk for Hearing Loss from Exposure to Loud Music More than one billion teens and young adults are at risk of losing their hearing, according to WHO (that’s the World Health Organization, not a rock band). It’s not just old folks who suffer hearing loss. Just by listening to music at what you probably think 1 (be) a normal level, or hanging out in music and sporting events, you can permanently damage your hearing. By analyzing listening habits of 12-to 35-year-olds in wealthier countries around the world, WHO has found about 40% of those 2 (study) are exposed to damaging levels of music and noise at entertainment venues. It has also found that nearly 50% listen to unsafe sound levels on personal listening devices, a behavior they should avoid 3 (engage) in. When it comes to personal listening devices, what extent or damage can you cause to your ears? It is directly related to 4 ________ you listen and how loud the sound. “The highest volume 5 (go) for safety concerns can be, for example, 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes,” says WHO. Eighty-five decibels isn’t all that loud. According to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, it’s about the level of city traffic that you’d hear from inside your car. Unfortunately, some 360 million of us 6 (suffer) moderate to severe hearing loss, according to the UN Health Agency Worldwide, 7 special mission is to improve global health. 8 that number does account for aging and birth-related factors, about half of all cases are avoidable. When it comes to your personal listening devices, such as your smartphone: —Turn the volume down. rather than go above 60%. —Wear noise 9 (cancel) earphones, or better yet, headphones. —Take “listening breaks” or only listen for just an hour a day —Learn about appropriate apps for that. Choose 10 to download on your phone to help monitor safe listening levels. 【答案】 1．is 2．studied 3．engaging 4．how long 5．going 6．have suffered 7．whose 8．Although/Though/While 9．cancelling 10．one 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了全球超过十亿的青少年和年轻人因暴露于高音量音乐中而面临听力损失的风险，并提供了如何保护听力的建议。 1．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：仅仅通过听你认为正常水平的音乐，或者参加音乐和体育活动，你可能会永久性地损害你的听力。此处为宾语从句，描述的是普遍现象，使用一般现在时，宾语从句的主语是what引导的从句，谓语用单数形式。故填is。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：通过分析全球较富裕国家12至35岁人群的听音习惯，世界卫生组织发现，约40%的研究对象在娱乐场所暴露于有害的音乐和噪音水平。those与study为被动关系，应用过去分词，作后置定语。故填studied。 3．考查非谓语动词。句意：它还发现，近50%的人在个人听音设备上听不安全的音量，这是一种他们应该避免参与的行为。固定搭配avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”，动名词作宾语。故填engaging。 4．考查宾语从句。句意：这与你听的时间长短和声音大小直接相关。空处为宾语从句，与how loud并列，此处表示“时间长度”，应用how long。故填how long。 5．考查非谓语动词。句意：“例如，引起安全问题的最高音量可能是8小时85分贝或15分钟100分贝，”世卫组织说。空处为非谓语动词，The highest volume与go为主动关系，应用现在分词，作后置定语。故填going。 6．考查动词时态。句意：不幸的是，据联合国全球卫生机构称，我们中约有3.6亿人患有中度至重度听力损失，该机构的特殊使命是改善全球健康。句子陈述过去动作对现在造成的影响，应用现在完成时，主语是复数，助动词使用have。故填have suffered。 7．考查定语从句。句意：不幸的是，据联合国全球卫生机构称，我们中约有3.6亿人患有中度至重度听力损失，该机构的特殊使命是改善全球健康。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为 UN Health Agency Worldwide，关系词替代先行词在从句中作定语，应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。 8．考查连词。句意：尽管这个数字确实考虑了老龄化和出生相关因素，但约有一半的病例是可以避免的。前后句意存在让步关系，应用although/though/while引导让步状语从句，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Although/Though/While。 9．考查名词。句意：佩戴降噪耳机，或者更好的是头戴式耳机。此处修饰名词earphones，表功能，应用名词cancelling“消除”，作定语。故填cancelling。 10．考查代词。句意：选择一个下载到手机上，以帮助监控安全的听力水平。此处泛指appropriate apps中的一个，应用代词one，作宾语。故填one。 Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

With a great deal of life experience, we can often anticipate difficulties that our teenagers don’t see coming. We see the approach of a problem and feel the urge to 14 our teenagers away from its path, hoping to use our wisdom for their benefit. Consider the case of a friend of mine. As her son’s high school soccer tryouts (选拔赛) approached, 15 arose during her family meals. Her 16 husband was often using dinnertime to ask their fifteen-year-old son about his training progress. The boy 17 , as one would expect from any normally developing teenager, and the meals often ended in angry arguments. Curious, my friend asked her husband why he kept bringing up a topic that always 18 their meals. He explained, “I’m worried that our son’s confidence will take a big hit if he gets cut from the team,” a concern she 19 understood since it was likely to happen. My friend wondered about their options. Could there be a possibility that if her husband consistently questioned their son’s training plans, he might become more 20 to his guidance. “This already isn’t working,” I said to her. “Doing more of it is probably a bad idea.” Instead, I suggested that they say, “We love you and know how much you want to make the soccer team, and we all know that you can increase your chances by getting in shape now.” And then leave it at that. 【答案】 11．A 12．G 13．E 14．I 15．H 16．K 17．F 18．J 19．D 20．C 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述如何帮助青少年度过艰难时期及相关建议。 11．考查动词。句意：然而，当你自己的孩子正在经历情感上的痛苦时，这就成了一件会让你深感担忧的事情。根据“when your own child is experiencing emotional pain”可知，孩子经历痛苦会让父母担心，concern“让(某人)担忧”符合语境，且could后接动词原形。故填A。 12．考查形容词。句意：我们可以试着注意一下，我们什么时候会格外努力，不让一个青少年被宠坏。根据上文 “Caring parents hate to see their kids suffer and worry when their teens face challenges that impact their well-being.”可知，父母不愿孩子受苦，所以这里说的是防止孩子被宠坏，spoiled“宠坏的”，become spoiled“被宠坏”。故填G。 13．考查名词。句意：很容易陷入这个陷阱。根据上文“Caring parents hate to see their kids suffer and worry when their teens face challenges that impact their well-being.”可知，父母不遗余力不让孩子受苦，这是一种容易陷入的陷阱，trap“陷阱”，作介词into的宾语，符合语境。fall into this trap“陷入这个陷阱”。故填E。 14．考查动词。句意：我们看到问题的出现，就感到有一种冲动，想要把我们的青少年从这条路上引开，希望用我们的智慧为他们谋福利。根据句意及空后的“our teenagers away from its path”可知，空处应用动词redirect“使改变路线，使改道”，且feel the urge to do sth.“感到有做某事的冲动”，是固定搭配，所以空处应用动词原形。故填I。 15．考查名词。句意：随着她儿子高中足球选拔赛的临近，她家吃饭时出现了紧张气氛。根据下文“the meals often ended in angry arguments”可知，吃饭时气氛不好，tension“紧张，紧张气氛”，符合语境。故填H。 16．考查形容词。句意：她善意的丈夫经常利用晚餐时间询问他们 15 岁的儿子的训练进展。根据“husband was often using dinnertime to ask their fifteen-year-old son about his training progress”可知，丈夫是出于关心询问，well-meaning“善意的，好心的”，符合语境，作定语修饰 husband。故填K。 17．考查动词。句意：这个男孩像任何正常成长的青少年一样抗拒，而且用餐常常以愤怒的争吵结束。根据 “and the meals often ended in angry arguments”可知，男孩对父亲的询问是抗拒的，resist“抗拒，抵制”，根据上下文时态可知用一般过去时，陈述过去的事实。故填F。 18．考查动词。句意：出于好奇，我的朋友问她丈夫，为什么他总是提起一个总是让他们用餐不愉快的话题。根据上文“the meals often ended in angry arguments” 可知，这个话题让用餐不愉快，upset“使心烦意乱，使不高兴”，根据上文时态可知用一般过去时，陈述过去的事实。故填J。 19．考查副词。句意：他解释说：“我担心如果我们的儿子被球队淘汰，他的信心会受到很大打击。” 她很容易理解这种担心，因为这种情况很可能发生。根据“since it was likely to happen”可知，她很容易理解丈夫的担心，readily“容易地，乐意地”，修饰动词understood。故填D。 20．考查形容词。句意：有没有可能，如果她丈夫一直质疑他们儿子的训练计划，他可能会更愿意接受他的指导呢？根据语境可知这里说的是儿子对父亲指导的态度，become open to“对……变得愿意接受”，open“愿意接受的”。故填C。 III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context By setting time aside to journal, teachers and learners have an in-depth moment with the subject they are writing about. They get to reflect and write on a subject with no limitations and, by doing so, end up with a good 21 record of the constant progress made. One of the most valuable parts of journaling is honest personal feedback. Journaling helps collect, record, and properly 22 information. In our world, and more so due to the internet and numerous books, there is much information. Students often think they can 23 the information they get from various sources, only to realize they need to remember a lot of fine details. Journaling can give students time to reflect on the 24 content and find ways to relate it to their lives. In a word, journaling helps 25 students, making them active readers. Journaling helps to nurture dreams and ideas and cultivate them into reality. Once something is penned down, it starts its journey toward being realized. Every time it is reflected on, it improves and develops. In your class, if students spend daily/weekly time journaling, the 26 makes them develop solid plans that they are passionate about. Since journaling helps keep track of things, it helps create a culture of problem-solving in students. Students become more 27 solving problems, and while doing so, they get an in-depth understanding of the subjects they take in school. Students also make many discoveries for themselves since they are more 28 . It is a wonder how much can be accomplished when learners are intentional about learning. Journaling and self-reflection develop self-esteem in students. The habits create a sense of freedom in expressing one's thoughts and further a forum to correct and improve the thought process. 29 , high self-esteem is formed in learners as they feel free to create, recreate, and improve. Teachers should give students guiding questions to help them decide on the topics given for writing. Guiding questions 30 the thinking process and encourage certain lines of thought. Teachers should ensure the questions are 31 . The questions should trigger creative thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving skills. Another way to build up the journaling habit is by throwing out the rule book. Most of the writing done in schools is governed by rules and feels like an examination. Journaling is meant to 32 writing and the creative habit. Getting rid of the rules in the initial stages allows for the 33 flow of ideas and the ability to express oneself. The process should be 34 . Teachers should ensure that students continuously write in their journals. Journaling and self-reflection ensure that students keep track of their daily happenings and feelings. The new daily task helps create a web of events, some of which are questions and other 35 to existing problems. 21．A．class B．service C．travel D．track 22．A．accumulate B．centralize C．analyze D．confirm 23．A．disclose B．retain C．convey D．share 24．A．removed B．dumped C．learned D．digested 25．A．transform B．connect C．grade D．amaze 26．A．reflection B．performance C．guidance D．inspiration 27．A．satisfied with B．devoted to C．tired of D．confused about 28．A．bored B．relaxed C．thrilled D．focused 29．A．Moreover B．Instead C．Therefore D．However 30．A．accompany B．disrupt C．explore D．prompt 31．A．old-fashioned B．noble-minded C．far-sighted D．eye-opening 32．A．nurture B．publish C．recommend D．collect 33．A．rapid B．free C．rhythmic D．steady 34．A．consistent B．complete C．complex D．comprehensive 35．A．messages B．notes C．solutions D．paths 【答案】 21．D 22．C 23．B 24．C 25．A 26．A 27．B 28．D 29．C 30．D 31．D 32．A 33．B 34．A 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了写日记对老师和学生的好处。 21．考查名词词义辨析。句意：他们可以反思并自由地写作，最终记录下不断取得的进步。A. class班级；B. service服务；C. travel旅行；D. track记录、足迹。结合上文“They get to reflect and write on a subject with no limitations”可知，因为可以自由地写作，所以能够记录下不断取得的进步。故选D。 22．考查动词词义辨析。句意：写日记有助于收集、记录和正确分析信息。A. accumulate积累；B. centralize集中；C. analyze分析；D. confirm确认。根据上文“Journaling helps collect, record, and properly”可知写日记有助于收集、记录，故此处指正确地分析（analyze）信息。故选C。 23．考查动词词义辨析。句意：学生们经常认为他们可以保留从不同的来源得到的信息，但他们很快意识到他们需要记住大量的细节。A. disclose透露；B. retain保留；C. convey传达；D. share分享。根据后文“the information they get from various sources”以及“remember a lot of fine details”可知，记住大量的细节，此处指保留（retain）从不同的来源得到的信息。故选B。 24．考查过去分词词义辨析。句意：写日记可以让学生反思学到的内容，并找到方法将其与生活联系起来。A. removed分离的；B. dumped被丢弃的；C. learned学习到的；D. digested理解的、消化的。根据后文“content and find ways to relate it to their lives”可知，找到方法将其与生活联系起来，故此处指反思学到的内容，并将其内容与生活联系起来。故选C。 25．考查动词词义辨析。句意：总之，写日记帮助转变学生，让他们成为积极的读者。A. transform转变；B. connect连接；C. grade评分；D. amaze使惊讶。结合后文“making them active readers”可知，让他们成为积极的读者，故写日记帮助转变（transform）学生。故选A。 26．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在你的课堂上，如果学生每天/每周花时间写日记，这种反思会让他们制定出他们所热爱的可靠计划。A. reflection反思；B. performance表现；C. guidance指导；D. inspiration灵感。根据上文“if students spend daily/weekly time journaling”可知学生每天/每周花时间写日记，那么写日记时的这种反思（reflection）会让他们制定出可靠的计划。故选A。 27．考查短语辨析。句意：学生更专注于解决问题，同时，他们对在学校学习的科目有了深入的了解。A. satisfied with满足于；B. devoted to致力于；C. tired of厌倦；D. confused about困惑。根据后文“solving problems, and while doing so, they get an in-depth understanding of the subjects they take in school”可知，学生他们对在学校学习的科目有了深入的了解，因此此处指更专注于（devoted to）解决问题。故选B。 28．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：学生们也会自己做出很多发现，因为他们更加专注。A. bored无聊的；B. relaxed放松的；C. thrilled兴奋的；D. focused专注的。对应上文中“Students become more 　　7　　 solving problems, and while doing so, they get an in-depth understanding of the subjects they take in school.”以及“Students also make many discoveries for themselves”可知，指学生们更加专注（focused），所以也会自己做出很多发现。故选D。 29．考查副词词义辨析。句意：因此，当学习者感觉自由的创造、再创造并且得到提升时，他们就获得了很高的自尊。A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Research reveals that not only brain cells, but also cells from other body parts, can store memories. This discovery offers new insights into memory function and potential treatments for memory-related issues, according to New York University. The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells contribute to memory by applying the massed-spaced effect — a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session. In their study, published in Nature Communications, scientists investigated two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory setting. These cells were exposed to various chemical signals, similar to how brain cells respond to neurotransmitters (神经递质) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene”— the same gene that brain cells use for detecting patterns and restructure their connections to form memories. To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off. The results showed that these cells could detect repeated chemical signals, similar to neurotransmitter bursts in the brain, rather than extended ones. This mirrors how brain cells register learning with spaced breaks instead of learning everything all at once. When signals were spaced out, the “memory gene” was activated more strongly and for a longer time than when delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed-spaced effect,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor at NYU. “It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells.” “This discovery opens new doors for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory-related issues,” observes Kukushkin. “It also suggests that in the future, we may need to treat our body like the brain, considering how systems such as digestion or cancer cells ‘remember’ patterns to regulate blood sugar or respond to the pattern of cancer treatment. ” 36．What does the massed-spaced effect illustrate? A．The brain stores memory during deep sleep. B．Spacing learning over time improves memory. C．Memory is stored only when repeated continuously. D．Learning everything in one session reduces memory. 37．What does the underlined phrase “fluorescent protein” refer to? A．A neurotransmitter produced by brain cells. B．A type of chemical signal released by cells. C．A protein found only in brain-related research. D．A substance that indicates active memory genes. 38．What can be learned from the research in paragraph 3? A．All cells possess the basic characteristic of repeated learning. B．Cells do not respond to chemical signals during learning. C．Intensive learning is more effective than spaced learning. D．The brain only uses extended bursts of neurotransmitters. 39．What could be a suitable title for this article? A．Exploring Memory Function in the Brain. B．The Role of Non-Brain Cells in Memory Storage. C．How Brain Cells Detect Patterns during Learning. D．The Impact of Chemical Signals on Memory Formation. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．A 39．B 【导语】本文是一篇科学报道。文章讲述了纽约大学的研究发现，不仅脑细胞，身体其他部位的细胞也能存储记忆。这一发现为理解记忆功能以及治疗记忆相关疾病提供了新的视角。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells contribute to memory by applying the massed-spaced effect — a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session.(该研究旨在探索非脑细胞是否通过应用密集间隔效应（mass -spaced effect）来促进记忆——这一原理表明，多期学习比单次集中学习能更好地记住信息)”可知，密集间隔效应说明，信息在分多次学习时比在单次集中学习时更容易被记住。由此可知，随着时间的推移，间隔学习可以提高记忆力。故选B。 37．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off.( 为了监测这一过程，研究人员对细胞进行了改造，使其产生一种fluorescent protein，从而使它们能够跟踪记忆基因何时开启或关闭)”可知，fluorescent protein是一种用于追踪记忆基因激活或关闭状态的物质。故选D。 38．细节理解题。根据第三段中的““This reflects the massed-spaced effect,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor at NYU. “It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells.”(“这反映了密集间隔效应，”纽约大学临床副教授库库什金说。“这表明重复学习是所有细胞的基本特性。”)”可知，重复学习是所有细胞的基本特性。故选A。 39．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Research reveals that not only brain cells, but also cells from other body parts, can store memories.(研究表明，不仅脑细胞，身体其他部位的细胞也能储存记忆)”及全文内容可知，文章讲述了纽约大学的研究发现，不仅脑细胞，身体其他部位的细胞也能存储记忆，这一发现为理解记忆功能以及治疗记忆相关疾病提供了新的视角。由此可知，The Role of Non-Brain Cells in Memory Storage(非脑细胞在记忆储存中的作用)适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 (B) When Disaster Strikes, Be Prepared!

Power cuts, floods, ice storms, hurricanes and wildfires, have become the usual. You should always be prepared.(当事情变得艰难时，你需要做好准备。停电、洪水、冰暴、飓风和野火已成为家常便饭。你应该时刻做好准备。)”和“This could be your lifesaver. Secured in a handy Desert Camo Carrying Kit, these tools are essential for tackling most any nature disaster.(这可能是你的救命稻草。在一个方便的沙漠迷彩携带包中，这些工具是应对大多数自然灾害所必需的。)”，并结合客户评价“[It] has everything I need for getting along in the wild.(（它）有我在野外生活所需要的一切。)”可推断出，目标用户为关注安全与应急准备的人群。其他选项(极限运动爱好者、军事装备收藏者等)与广告核心内容不符。故选 C项。 41．细节理解题。① “Highlighting the urgency of buying due to limited stock.(由于库存有限，突出了购买的紧迫性)”：原文明确提到“BACK IN STOCK for the first time after overwhelming demand, we had ONLY 733 KITS AVAILABLE, for this ad and half have already sold!(在巨大的需求之后，我们第一次回到库存中，我们只有733个套件可用，对于这个广告，一半已经售出！)”，该项符合。  ② “Featuring reviews from celebrities to build trust.(通过名人的评论来建立信任。)”：广告仅引用普通客户John B的评价，无名人背书，故排除。 ③ “Offering a money-back guarantee to ensure customer satisfaction.(提供退款保证，确保客户满意。)”：文中明确说明“If this kit doesn’t meet your expectations, send it back for a full refund.(如果这个工具包不符合你的期望，把它寄回去全额退款。)”，该项符合。  ④ “Giving discounts to make the price more appealing.(打折使价格更有吸引力。)”：文中提到“$199 $39+S&P Save $17.50  “You must use Insider Offer Code DCC 154-01 to get this price.” ($199 $39+S&P Save $17.50；您必须使用内幕报价代码DCC 154-01才能获得此价格。)”，该项符合。 综上，正确策略为①③④。故选 B项。 42．词句猜测题。根据文章中的句子“Secured in a handy Desert Camo Carrying Kit, these tools are essential for tackling most any nature disaster.”及工具包功能描述，该口号以拟人化修辞挑战自然(Mother Nature)，暗示无论自然带来何种灾难，此工具包均已做好应对准备。选项B“The kit is ready to handle any disasters or emergencies(这个工具箱已准备好应付任何灾难或紧急情况)”准确反映其自信与实用性，其他选项曲解原意。故选 B项。 (C) Every decision we make is arrived at through hugely complex neurological processing. Although it feels as though you have a choice, the action that you ‘decide’ to take is entirely directed by automatic neural activity. Brain imaging studies show that a person’s action can be predicted by their brain activity up to 10 seconds before they themselves become aware they are going to act. Multiple neuroscientific studies show that even those important decisions that feel worked out are just as automatic as knee-jerk reactions (膝跳反应) (although more complex). Decision-making starts with the amygdala: a set of two almond-shaped nuclei (杏仁状核) buried deep within the brain, which generate emotion. The amygdala registers the information streaming in through our senses and responds to it in less than a second, sending signals throughout the brain. These produce an urge to run, fight, freeze or grab, according to how the amygdala values various stimuli. Before we act on the amygdala’s signals, however, the information is usually processed by other brain areas, including some that produce conscious thoughts and emotions. Areas concerned with recognition work out what’s going on, those concerned with memory compare it with previous experiences, and those concerned with reasoning, judging and planning get to work on constructing various action plans. The best plan—if we are lucky—is then selected and carried out. If any of this process goes wrong, we are likely to hesitate, or do something silly. The various stages of decision-making are marked by different types of brain activity. Fast (gamma)waves, with frequencies of 25 to 100 Hz, produce a keen awareness of the multiple factors that need to be taken into account to arrive at a decision. If you are trying to choose a sandwich, for instance, gamma waves generated in various cells within the ‘taste’ area of the brain bring to mind and compare the taste of ham, hummus, wholemeal, sourdough, and so on. Although it may seem useful to be aware of the full range of choice, too much information makes decision-making more difficult, so irrelevant factors get dismissed quickly and unconsciously. After this comparison stage, the brain switches to slow-wave activity (12 to 30 Hz). This extinguishes most of the gamma activity, leaving just a single ‘hotspot’ of gamma waves which marks the chosen option. Although there is no ‘you’ outside your brain to direct what it’s doing, you can help it to make good decisions by placing yourself in a situation which is likely to make the process run more smoothly. Doing something that is physically or mentally stimulating before making a decision will help your brain produce the initial gamma waves that generate awareness of the competing options. Getting over-excited, on the other hand, will prevent the switch to the slow brainwaves, making it much harder to single out a choice. 43．Why does the writer mention “knee-jerk reactions” in the first paragraph? A．To introduce the finding of the latest brain imaging studies. B．To illustrate that decisions are not consciously thought out. C．To call attention to a kind of neural reaction that is not very complex. D．To show the difference between decision-making and other brain activity. 44．What does the amygdala do according to the passage? A．It works out conscious thoughts and emotions. B．It selects the best action plan for a given situation. C．It dismisses factors that are irrelevant to the decision to be made. D．It processes sensory information and generates emotional responses. 45．What can be concluded from paragraphs 4 and 5? A．Slow-wave activity usually lasts longer than fast-wave activity. B．The brain prioritizes information before settling on a final choice. C．Decision-making is difficult when slow-wave activity occurs first. D．The brain needs as much information as possible to make a decision. 46．How does engaging in stimulating activities help the decision-making process? A．By preparing the brain to single out the most reasonable choice. B．By helping the brain switch to slow-wave activity more quickly. C．By getting the brain to focus on those most relevant alternatives. D．By making the brain more aware of the factors and choices involved. 【答案】43．B 44．D 45．B 46．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们在做决定时，大脑中杏仁核的活动及其他部位的活动情况，因此在做决定之前可以做一些刺激身体或精神的事情，来帮助你的大脑产生最初的伽马波。 43．推理判断题。第一段最后两句提到“Brain imaging studies show that a person’s action can be predicted by their brain activity up to 10 seconds before they themselves become aware they are going to act. Multiple neuroscientific studies show that even those important decisions that feel worked out are just as automatic as knee-jerk reactions (膝跳反应) (although more complex).”（脑成像研究表明，一个人的行为可以在他们意识到自己将要采取行动之前10秒通过他们的大脑活动来预测。多项神经科学研究表明，即使是那些让人感觉已经做出的重要决定，也和膝跳反应一样是自动的(尽管更复杂)。）可知，膝跳反应是一种最简单的二元反射，几乎不需要时间就会有相应的反应，而文中将做决定这一大脑活动和膝跳反应作类比，说明大脑在做决定时也是下意识的反应。故选B。 44．细节理解题。第二段提到“Decision-making starts with the amygdala: a set of two almond-shaped nuclei buried deep within the brain, which generate emotion. The amygdala registers the information streaming in through our senses and responds to it in less than a second, sending signals throughout the brain. These produce an urge to run, fight, freeze or grab, according to how the amygdala values various stimuli.”（决策始于杏仁核：埋藏在大脑深处的一组两个杏仁状的核，产生情感。杏仁核记录了通过我们的感官流入的信息，并在不到一秒的时间内做出反应，将信号发送到整个大脑。根据杏仁核对各种刺激的评价，这些刺激会产生奔跑、战斗、冻结或抓取的冲动。）由此判断，杏仁核会产生情感，并针对感官接受的信息做出相对应的行为刺激。故选D。 45．推理判断题。第四段第二句提到“Fast (gamma)waves, with frequencies of 25 to 100 Hz, produce a keen awareness of the multiple factors that need to be taken into account to arrive at a decision.”（频率在25到100赫兹之间的快速(伽马)波，能让人敏锐地意识到需要考虑的多种因素，从而做出决定。）大脑在做决定之前，会考虑各种信息，第五段提到“After this comparison stage, the brain switches to slow-wave activity (12 to 30 Hz). This extinguishes most of the gamma activity, leaving just a single ‘hotspot’ of gamma waves which marks the chosen option.”（在这个比较阶段之后，大脑切换到慢波活动(12到30赫兹)。这就消除了大部分的伽马活动，只留下一个伽马波的“热点”，它标志着被选中的选项。）在大脑经过快速伽马波对信息的处理后，会进入到慢伽马波活动，这时会留下一个“热点”，这就是人们所做好的决定。由此判断，大脑在做决定之前是会通过高速伽马波活动处理很多信息的，然后在慢速伽马波活动中作最终的决定。故选B。 46．推理判断题。最后一段第二句提到“ Although there is no ‘you’ outside your brain to direct what it’s doing, you can help it to make good decisions by placing yourself in a situation which is likely to make the process run more smoothly. Doing something that is physically or mentally stimulating before making a decision will help your brain produce the initial gamma waves that generate awareness of the competing options. ”（虽然在你的大脑之外没有“你”来指导它做什么，但你可以通过把自己放在一个可能使过程更顺利进行的环境中来帮助它做出正确的决定。在做决定之前做一些刺激身体或精神的事情会帮助你的大脑产生最初的伽马波，从而产生对抉择的意识。）可知，在做决定之前，把自己放在一个可能使过程更顺利进行的环境中可以帮助大脑做出正确的决定，刺激身体和精神可以产生最初产生的伽马波，从而产生抉择意识。因此推断通过让大脑更清楚地意识到所涉及的因素和选择有助于做出决策。故选D。 Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The Call of Alcohol People’s reactions to alcohol can vary widely—from those who enjoy it greatly to those who find it unappealing. The difference, as scientists are discovering, may not just be a matter of personal choice but also deeply rooted in genetics and physiological responses. A fascinating case is that of Lars Igum Rasmussen and his friends. 47 Researchers discovered that their levels of a hormone called FGF21, which typically helps regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), more than doubled. Interestingly, this hormone might also play a role in controlling alcohol intake. FGF21 is primarily produced in the liver (肝), but its effects extend to the brain, where it seems to play a role in regulating desires for alcohol and sugar. 48 This finding opens up new possibilities for developing treatments targeting FGF21 pathways to reduce heavy drinking. But why would a hormone that evolved to control metabolism also affect alcohol consumption? One theory suggests it might be tied to our evolutionary past. Early humans frequently consumed fermented (发酵的) foods and drinks, which could damage the liver if consumed too much. 49 In human studies, variations in the FGF21 gene have been linked to differences in alcohol consumption. Those with one variant are more likely to drink heavily, while others with a different variant are more likely to drink moderately or even drink nothing. These genetic insights are part of a broader effort to reveal the complex relationship between our biology and drinking behavior. 50 If FGF21 or similar pathways can be used for treatment purposes, it might become possible to help individuals struggling with alcohol dependence. This could also provide new avenues for understanding how our organs, like the liver, influence behaviors traditionally considered purely psychological. A．But whatever happens, we are still left with the discovery that our livers influence our behaviour in unexpected ways. B．But, so far, research had only shown that it just works for a short period of time. C．FGF21 could have evolved as a protective response to lessen this damage by reducing the desire to drink more. D．The implications of this research are significant. E．They took part in a three-day drinking marathon—not just for fun, but as part of a study on the effects of heavy drinking. F．When animals are genetically modified to produce higher levels of FGF21, they show a decreased preference for alcohol and sweetened food. 【答案】47．E 48．F 49．A 50．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了基因和激素，特别是激素FGF21在酒精摄入和代谢中的影响，以及这些发现对治疗酗酒具有的重要意义。 47．“A fascinating case is that of Lars Igum Rasmussen and his friends.(一个引人入胜的案例是Lars Igum Rasmussen和他的朋友们)”说明Lars Igum Rasmussen和他的朋友们的一个有趣案例，空处顺接前文，具体描述这个案例的内容。E项中的They指代前文中的“Lars Igum Rasmussen and his friends”，说明他们参与了一项为期三天的饮酒马拉松研究，这与前文提到的案例自然衔接。所以E项“他们参加了为期三天的饮酒马拉松比赛，这不仅是为了好玩，也是关于酗酒影响的研究的一部分。”符合语境。故选E。 48．上文“FGF21 is primarily produced in the liver (肝), but its effects extend to the brain, where it seems to play a role in regulating desires for alcohol and sugar.(FGF21主要在肝脏中产生，但其作用延伸到大脑，在那里它似乎在调节对酒精和糖的欲望中发挥作用)”以及下文“This finding opens up new possibilities for developing treatments targeting FGF21 pathways to reduce heavy drinking.(这一发现为开发针对FGF21途径的治疗方法以减少酗酒开辟了新的可能性)”说明FGF21在调节酒精摄入方面的作用。F项“当动物经过基因改造以产生更高水平的FGF21时，它们对酒精和甜食的偏好会降低。”符合语境，该项中提供了实验动物中FGF21水平增加后对酒精和甜食偏好的减少情况，这正好补充了FGF21作用于控制酒精摄入的论点，而下文中的This finding指代了F项中的“实验的结果”。故选F。 49．上文“But why would a hormone that evolved to control metabolism also affect alcohol consumption? One theory suggests it might be tied to our evolutionary past. Early humans frequently consumed fermented (发酵的) foods and drinks, which could damage the liver if consumed too much.(但是，为什么一种进化来控制新陈代谢的激素也会影响饮酒量呢？有一种理论认为，这可能与我们的进化历史有关。早期人类经常食用发酵食品和饮料，如果摄入过多，可能会损害肝脏)”说明在进化过程中，摄入过多的发酵食品和饮料，会对肝脏造成损坏。空处和前文形成转折关系，说明肝脏调节新陈代谢方面的作用。A项的But为转折连词，而“our livers”和上文中的“the liver”相呼应，所以A项“但无论发生什么，我们仍然发现我们的肝脏以意想不到的方式影响我们的行为。”符合语境。故选A。 50．下文“If FGF21 or similar pathways can be used for treatment purposes, it might become possible to help individuals struggling with alcohol dependence. This could also provide new avenues for understanding how our organs, like the liver, influence behaviors traditionally considered purely psychological.(如果FGF21或类似途径可用于治疗目的，则有可能帮助患有酒精依赖症的人。这也可以为理解我们的器官（如肝脏）如何影响传统上被认为纯粹是心理的行为提供新的途径)”说明研究的意义以及未来可能的应用方向。所以D项“这项研究的意义重大。”适合作本段的主旨句。故选D。 IV.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Teenagers should be pulled of the sofa For many years, scientists thought that the human brain was fully mature before the teen years. They thought that a person's brain growth was complete and the structure was more or less fixed by the age of 3. However, more recent research shows that although the brain reaches its maximum size between the ages of 12 and 14, brain development is not yet complete. The brain's functionally different sections communicate with each other through synapses- connections between nerve (神经) cells. Scientists have found that synapses grow or die away, depending on how much they are used to process information, The good news is that teenagers do have the potential, through choice and behavior, to shape their brain development. The brain automatically gets rid of the synapses that it doesn't need in order to make the remaining ones more efficient. During the time the brain is removing synapses, the cells and connections that are used survive, while the ones that are not used die away. For example, if a teenager is doing music, sports or academic studies, those are the cells and connections that will become part of the brain's operating system. But unfortunately, if he or she is lying on the sofa, watching TV and playing computer games, those are the brain cells and connections that will remain into adulthood. Therefore, what you do with your teenage years could have an effect on the rest of your life, What is important is that learning how synapses grow or die away can help teenagers be better equipped to make more intelligent choices, thus motivating them to take a moment before acting to consider the consequences of their actions. If you don't want to become an adult who is buried in the sofa all day long, pull yourself out of it when you are still a teenager. 51.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The passage discusses how teenage brain development is not yet complete, contrary to previous beliefs. It emphasizes that teenagers can influence their brain development through their choices and behaviors. Activities like music, sports, and academic studies strengthen brain connections, while sedentary activities like watching TV weaken them. Understanding this can encourage teenagers to make smarter choices for their future. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了青少年的大脑发育尚未完成，这与之前的观点相反。它强调青少年可以通过他们的选择和行为影响他们的大脑发育。音乐、体育和学术研究等活动可以加强大脑联系，而看电视等久坐不动的活动则会削弱大脑联系，了解这一点可以鼓励青少年为他们的未来做出更明智的选择。 【详解】1.要点摘录 ①For many years, scientists thought that the human brain was fully mature before the teen years.

I appreciate the initiative to engage our community on the Double Ninth Festival. However, I have some suggestions to enhance the event. Firstly, while tai chi and paper-cutting are great, they might not appeal to all seniors. To include more participants, we could add activities like music appreciation or storytelling sessions that cater to different interests and abilities. Secondly, to make the most of the half-day event, a detailed schedule should be created and shared beforehand. This will help ensure smooth transitions between activities and allow participants to prepare accordingly. Lastly, to foster deeper connections, I propose making the talent show interactive by inviting a few seniors to share their stories or talents alongside the students. This would create a more collaborative and intergenerational atmosphere. Thank you for considering my suggestions. I believe these adjustments will make the event more meaningful and memorable for everyone involved.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. There was once a woman in South America who had a parrot. a pet bind that could imitate human speech. The parot was unique. There was no bird like him in the whole world He could learn to say any wond except one. He could not say the name of his native town, Ketunnel. The woman did everything she could to teach the parrot to say "Ketumnel", but she never succeeded. At first she was very gentle with the bird. But gradually. she lost her temper. You are stupid bird. Why can't you learn to say that one word? Say Ketunnel' or I will kill you." But the parrot would not say it Many times he woman screamed, Say Ketunel'. or I’ll kill you." But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the woman gave up. She picked up the parrot, and threw him into the chicken house. "You are even more stupid than the chickens." In the chicken house. there were four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday's dinner. The next morning, when she went to the chicken house, the woman opened the door. She was shocked by what she saw. She could not believe her eyes and cars. On the floor lay three dead chickens. The parrot was screaming at the fourth, "Say Kctunel". or Ill kill you." (Now listen again, please.) Questions: 11.Why did the woman lose her temper? 12. Who killed the three chickens? 13. Why was the woman shocked at the scene the next morning? Questions 14 through I6 are based on the following passage. Snow and rain forecast for Monday morning is expected io bring to an end to the heavy smog that has blanketed mach of the north for the past two days. Many cities in China were all hit by smog on Sunday. According to the National Meteorological Center, leaving much of the north of China under a yellow alert for pollution for the second day in a row The mainland has a four-level. color-coded, weather warming system. Red represents the most severe weather, followed by orange, yellow and blue Beijing has twice issued a red alert when air quality reached dangerous levels. ordering schools to postpone classes and carrying out traffic restrictions Many local residents. have complained of inconveniences caused by the restrictions, and are growing more impatient with authorities' failure to improve the air quality. Official data showed Beijing's PM 2.5 levels had improved from January 2015 to October 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. but pollution had bounced back significantly in November and December. Winter months are usually the most polluted in northern China, due to the increased use central heating in downtown areas and the burning coal. (Now listen again, please.) Questions: 14. What was the weather like in the north of China the day before yesterday? 15. What was yesterday's weather warming level in the north of China? 16. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. M:Jessica, do you know something about the Ethical Consumer Research Association? w:Yes. As far as I am concerned, it's an organization that provides information for shoppers, like letting shoppers know what the companies are doing behind the products that they see on the store shelves. And, these shoppers are concerned with some ethical issues M:Could you give me some examples? W:Well, they may want to know that the product they are buying hasn't been made at the expense of people who are producing it, whether it's in this country or abroad. They might also be concerned with other kinds of issues, for example. whether the company is involved in selling arms. M:But how can one become an ethical shopper when buying things? w:One way of thinking about ethical shopping is thinking about buying less. Well you see. sometimes we bury a lot more than we need. We buy more items of clothing than we need. So being an ethical shopper really means thinking a bit before you go and spend your money in the shops. M:Could you give me some advice? W: You see, something may cost a bit more in the short run, but be worth it in the long run So if you are paying for quality, something will last you longer and ten save you money. And sometimes you can buy things second-hand and the quality in most second-hand shops is really very good these days. So it's about thinking before you shop. M:Thanks for your advice. Jessica W:My pleasure (Now listen again, please.) Questions: 17. What is the information provided by the Ethical Consumer Research Association about? 18. What does an ethical shopper possibly want to know about a product? 19. What should an ethical shopper do when shopping? 20.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A Billion at Risk for Hearing Loss from Exposure to Loud Music More than one billion teens and young adults are at risk of losing their hearing, according to WHO (that’s the World Health Organization, not a rock band). It’s not just old folks who suffer hearing loss. Just by listening to music at what you probably think 1 (be) a normal level, or hanging out in music and sporting events, you can permanently damage your hearing. By analyzing listening habits of 12-to 35-year-olds in wealthier countries around the world, WHO has found about 40% of those 2 (study) are exposed to damaging levels of music and noise at entertainment venues. It has also found that nearly 50% listen to unsafe sound levels on personal listening devices, a behavior they should avoid 3 (engage) in. When it comes to personal listening devices, what extent or damage can you cause to your ears? It is directly related to 4 ________ you listen and how loud the sound. “The highest volume 5 (go) for safety concerns can be, for example, 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes,” says WHO. Eighty-five decibels isn’t all that loud. According to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, it’s about the level of city traffic that you’d hear from inside your car. Unfortunately, some 360 million of us 6 (suffer) moderate to severe hearing loss, according to the UN Health Agency Worldwide, 7 special mission is to improve global health. 8 that number does account for aging and birth-related factors, about half of all cases are avoidable. When it comes to your personal listening devices, such as your smartphone: —Turn the volume down. rather than go above 60%. —Wear noise 9 (cancel) earphones, or better yet, headphones. —Take “listening breaks” or only listen for just an hour a day —Learn about appropriate apps for that. Choose 10 to download on your phone to help monitor safe listening levels. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．concern    B．barely    C．open    D．readily    E．trap    F．resisted     G．spoiled    H．tension    I．redirect    J．upset    K．well-meaning Helping Teens Through Tough Times The idea that experiencing psychological distress helps teens to mature may sound great in theory. However, when your own child is experiencing-emotional pain, it becomes a matter that could deeply 11 you. Caring parents hate to see their kids suffer and worry when their teens face challenges that impact their well-being. So what’s a loving adult to do? We can try to notice when we go the extra mile to keep a teen from becoming 12 . It’s easy to fall into this 13 . With a great deal of life experience, we can often anticipate difficulties that our teenagers don’t see coming. We see the approach of a problem and feel the urge to 14 our teenagers away from its path, hoping to use our wisdom for their benefit. Consider the case of a friend of mine. As her son’s high school soccer tryouts (选拔赛) approached, 15 arose during her family meals. Her 16 husband was often using dinnertime to ask their fifteen-year-old son about his training progress. The boy 17 , as one would expect from any normally developing teenager, and the meals often ended in angry arguments. Curious, my friend asked her husband why he kept bringing up a topic that always 18 their meals. He explained, “I’m worried that our son’s confidence will take a big hit if he gets cut from the team,” a concern she 19 understood since it was likely to happen. My friend wondered about their options. Could there be a possibility that if her husband consistently questioned their son’s training plans, he might become more 20 to his guidance. “This already isn’t working,” I said to her. “Doing more of it is probably a bad idea.” Instead, I suggested that they say, “We love you and know how much you want to make the soccer team, and we all know that you can increase your chances by getting in shape now.” And then leave it at that. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context By setting time aside to journal, teachers and learners have an in-depth moment with the subject they are writing about. They get to reflect and write on a subject with no limitations and, by doing so, end up with a good 21 record of the constant progress made. One of the most valuable parts of journaling is honest personal feedback. Journaling helps collect, record, and properly 22 information. In our world, and more so due to the internet and numerous books, there is much information. Students often think they can 23 the information they get from various sources, only to realize they need to remember a lot of fine details. Journaling can give students time to reflect on the 24 content and find ways to relate it to their lives. In a word, journaling helps 25 students, making them active readers. Journaling helps to nurture dreams and ideas and cultivate them into reality. Once something is penned down, it starts its journey toward being realized. Every time it is reflected on, it improves and develops. In your class, if students spend daily/weekly time journaling, the 26 makes them develop solid plans that they are passionate about. Since journaling helps keep track of things, it helps create a culture of problem-solving in students. Students become more 27 solving problems, and while doing so, they get an in-depth understanding of the subjects they take in school. Students also make many discoveries for themselves since they are more 28 . It is a wonder how much can be accomplished when learners are intentional about learning. Journaling and self-reflection develop self-esteem in students. The habits create a sense of freedom in expressing one's thoughts and further a forum to correct and improve the thought process. 29 , high self-esteem is formed in learners as they feel free to create, recreate, and improve. Teachers should give students guiding questions to help them decide on the topics given for writing. Guiding questions 30 the thinking process and encourage certain lines of thought. Teachers should ensure the questions are 31 . The questions should trigger creative thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving skills. Another way to build up the journaling habit is by throwing out the rule book. Most of the writing done in schools is governed by rules and feels like an examination. Journaling is meant to 32 writing and the creative habit. Getting rid of the rules in the initial stages allows for the 33 flow of ideas and the ability to express oneself. The process should be 34 . Teachers should ensure that students continuously write in their journals. Journaling and self-reflection ensure that students keep track of their daily happenings and feelings. The new daily task helps create a web of events, some of which are questions and other 35 to existing problems. 21．A．class B．service C．travel D．track 22．A．accumulate B．centralize C．analyze D．confirm 23．A．disclose B．retain C．convey D．share 24．A．removed B．dumped C．learned D．digested 25．A．transform B．connect C．grade D．amaze 26．A．reflection B．performance C．guidance D．inspiration 27．A．satisfied with B．devoted to C．tired of D．confused about 28．A．bored B．relaxed C．thrilled D．focused 29．A．Moreover B．Instead C．Therefore D．However 30．A．accompany B．disrupt C．explore D．prompt 31．A．old-fashioned B．noble-minded C．far-sighted D．eye-opening 32．A．nurture B．publish C．recommend D．collect 33．A．rapid B．free C．rhythmic D．steady 34．A．consistent B．complete C．complex D．comprehensive 35．A．messages B．notes C．solutions D．paths Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Research reveals that not only brain cells, but also cells from other body parts, can store memories. This discovery offers new insights into memory function and potential treatments for memory-related issues, according to New York University. The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells contribute to memory by applying the massed-spaced effect — a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session. In their study, published in Nature Communications, scientists investigated two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory setting. These cells were exposed to various chemical signals, similar to how brain cells respond to neurotransmitters (神经递质) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene”— the same gene that brain cells use for detecting patterns and restructure their connections to form memories. To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off. The results showed that these cells could detect repeated chemical signals, similar to neurotransmitter bursts in the brain, rather than extended ones. This mirrors how brain cells register learning with spaced breaks instead of learning everything all at once. When signals were spaced out, the “memory gene” was activated more strongly and for a longer time than when delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed-spaced effect,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor at NYU. “It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells.” “This discovery opens new doors for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory-related issues,” observes Kukushkin. “It also suggests that in the future, we may need to treat our body like the brain, considering how systems such as digestion or cancer cells ‘remember’ patterns to regulate blood sugar or respond to the pattern of cancer treatment. ” 36．What does the massed-spaced effect illustrate? A．The brain stores memory during deep sleep. B．Spacing learning over time improves memory. C．Memory is stored only when repeated continuously. D．Learning everything in one session reduces memory. 37．What does the underlined phrase “fluorescent protein” refer to? A．A neurotransmitter produced by brain cells. B．A type of chemical signal released by cells. C．A protein found only in brain-related research. D．A substance that indicates active memory genes. 38．What can be learned from the research in paragraph 3? A．All cells possess the basic characteristic of repeated learning. B．Cells do not respond to chemical signals during learning. C．Intensive learning is more effective than spaced learning. D．The brain only uses extended bursts of neurotransmitters. 39．What could be a suitable title for this article? A．Exploring Memory Function in the Brain. B．The Role of Non-Brain Cells in Memory Storage. C．How Brain Cells Detect Patterns during Learning. D．The Impact of Chemical Signals on Memory Formation. (B) When Disaster Strikes, Be Prepared!

Although it feels as though you have a choice, the action that you ‘decide’ to take is entirely directed by automatic neural activity. Brain imaging studies show that a person’s action can be predicted by their brain activity up to 10 seconds before they themselves become aware they are going to act. Multiple neuroscientific studies show that even those important decisions that feel worked out are just as automatic as knee-jerk reactions (膝跳反应) (although more complex). Decision-making starts with the amygdala: a set of two almond-shaped nuclei (杏仁状核) buried deep within the brain, which generate emotion. The amygdala registers the information streaming in through our senses and responds to it in less than a second, sending signals throughout the brain. These produce an urge to run, fight, freeze or grab, according to how the amygdala values various stimuli. Before we act on the amygdala’s signals, however, the information is usually processed by other brain areas, including some that produce conscious thoughts and emotions. Areas concerned with recognition work out what’s going on, those concerned with memory compare it with previous experiences, and those concerned with reasoning, judging and planning get to work on constructing various action plans. The best plan—if we are lucky—is then selected and carried out. If any of this process goes wrong, we are likely to hesitate, or do something silly. The various stages of decision-making are marked by different types of brain activity. Fast (gamma)waves, with frequencies of 25 to 100 Hz, produce a keen awareness of the multiple factors that need to be taken into account to arrive at a decision. If you are trying to choose a sandwich, for instance, gamma waves generated in various cells within the ‘taste’ area of the brain bring to mind and compare the taste of ham, hummus, wholemeal, sourdough, and so on. Although it may seem useful to be aware of the full range of choice, too much information makes decision-making more difficult, so irrelevant factors get dismissed quickly and unconsciously. After this comparison stage, the brain switches to slow-wave activity (12 to 30 Hz). This extinguishes most of the gamma activity, leaving just a single ‘hotspot’ of gamma waves which marks the chosen option. Although there is no ‘you’ outside your brain to direct what it’s doing, you can help it to make good decisions by placing yourself in a situation which is likely to make the process run more smoothly. Doing something that is physically or mentally stimulating before making a decision will help your brain produce the initial gamma waves that generate awareness of the competing options. Getting over-excited, on the other hand, will prevent the switch to the slow brainwaves, making it much harder to single out a choice. 43．Why does the writer mention “knee-jerk reactions” in the first paragraph? A．To introduce the finding of the latest brain imaging studies. B．To illustrate that decisions are not consciously thought out. C．To call attention to a kind of neural reaction that is not very complex. D．To show the difference between decision-making and other brain activity. 44．What does the amygdala do according to the passage? A．It works out conscious thoughts and emotions. B．It selects the best action plan for a given situation. C．It dismisses factors that are irrelevant to the decision to be made. D．It processes sensory information and generates emotional responses. 45．What can be concluded from paragraphs 4 and 5? A．Slow-wave activity usually lasts longer than fast-wave activity. B．The brain prioritizes information before settling on a final choice. C．Decision-making is difficult when slow-wave activity occurs first. D．The brain needs as much information as possible to make a decision. 46．How does engaging in stimulating activities help the decision-making process? A．By preparing the brain to single out the most reasonable choice. B．By helping the brain switch to slow-wave activity more quickly. C．By getting the brain to focus on those most relevant alternatives. D．By making the brain more aware of the factors and choices involved. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The Call of Alcohol People’s reactions to alcohol can vary widely—from those who enjoy it greatly to those who find it unappealing. The difference, as scientists are discovering, may not just be a matter of personal choice but also deeply rooted in genetics and physiological responses. A fascinating case is that of Lars Igum Rasmussen and his friends. 47 Researchers discovered that their levels of a hormone called FGF21, which typically helps regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), more than doubled. Interestingly, this hormone might also play a role in controlling alcohol intake. FGF21 is primarily produced in the liver (肝), but its effects extend to the brain, where it seems to play a role in regulating desires for alcohol and sugar. 48 This finding opens up new possibilities for developing treatments targeting FGF21 pathways to reduce heavy drinking. But why would a hormone that evolved to control metabolism also affect alcohol consumption? One theory suggests it might be tied to our evolutionary past. Early humans frequently consumed fermented (发酵的) foods and drinks, which could damage the liver if consumed too much. 49 In human studies, variations in the FGF21 gene have been linked to differences in alcohol consumption. Those with one variant are more likely to drink heavily, while others with a different variant are more likely to drink moderately or even drink nothing. These genetic insights are part of a broader effort to reveal the complex relationship between our biology and drinking behavior. 50 If FGF21 or similar pathways can be used for treatment purposes, it might become possible to help individuals struggling with alcohol dependence. This could also provide new avenues for understanding how our organs, like the liver, influence behaviors traditionally considered purely psychological. A．But whatever happens, we are still left with the discovery that our livers influence our behaviour in unexpected ways. B．But, so far, research had only shown that it just works for a short period of time. C．FGF21 could have evolved as a protective response to lessen this damage by reducing the desire to drink more. D．The implications of this research are significant. E．They took part in a three-day drinking marathon—not just for fun, but as part of a study on the effects of heavy drinking. F．When animals are genetically modified to produce higher levels of FGF21, they show a decreased preference for alcohol and sweetened food. IV.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Teenagers should be pulled of the sofa For many years, scientists thought that the human brain was fully mature before the teen years. They thought that a person's brain growth was complete and the structure was more or less fixed by the age of 3. However, more recent research shows that although the brain reaches its maximum size between the ages of 12 and 14, brain development is not yet complete. The brain's functionally different sections communicate with each other through synapses- connections between nerve (神经) cells. Scientists have found that synapses grow or die away, depending on how much they are used to process information, The good news is that teenagers do have the potential, through choice and behavior, to shape their brain development. The brain automatically gets rid of the synapses that it doesn't need in order to make the remaining ones more efficient. During the time the brain is removing synapses, the cells and connections that are used survive, while the ones that are not used die away. For example, if a teenager is doing music, sports or academic studies, those are the cells and connections that will become part of the brain's operating system. But unfortunately, if he or she is lying on the sofa, watching TV and playing computer games, those are the brain cells and connections that will remain into adulthood. Therefore, what you do with your teenage years could have an effect on the rest of your life, What is important is that learning how synapses grow or die away can help teenagers be better equipped to make more intelligent choices, thus motivating them to take a moment before acting to consider the consequences of their actions. If you don't want to become an adult who is buried in the sofa all day long, pull yourself out of it when you are still a teenager. 51.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．你今天下午方便抽空来跟我见个面吗？（convenient） 53．这栋大楼里有一家装配了高级音响系统的剧院。 (equip) 54．这个家庭主妇选了一些冷冻食品， 其中三分之一贴着可回收包装的标签。(which) 55．这个博物馆的奇妙之处在于将乡村的变迁，时光的痕迹，童年的回忆，融合到一个固定的空间里。 (what) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese 假如你是明启中学的学生李明，你校准备以班级为单位，在校园周边老年社区开展“爱满社区”的社会实践活动，并在校园网公布了如下方案，征求师生意见。写一封邮件给活动组织者，内容须包括： 1）你认为方案中需要改进的地方； 2）你的修改建议及理由。 活动方案 时间 重阳节（农历九月初九）周五 时长 半天 地点 社区图书馆 活动内容 ●组织老年人打太极 ●组织老年人做剪纸 ●学生才艺表演展示 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第11页（共12页） 试题 第12页（共12页） 试题 第5页（共12页） 试题 第6页（共12页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年高考押题预测卷 英语·参考答案 I.

Summary Writing (共10 分) 【51】The passage discusses how teenage brain development is not yet complete, contrary to previous beliefs. It emphasizes that teenagers can influence their brain development through their choices and behaviors. Activities like music, sports, and academic studies strengthen brain connections, while sedentary activities like watching TV weaken them. Understanding this can encourage teenagers to make smarter choices for their future. V.

V. Guided Writing (共25分) 56参考例文： Dear Event Organizer, I am Li Ming from Mingqi High School. I appreciate the initiative to engage our community on the Double Ninth Festival. However, I have some suggestions to enhance the event. Firstly, while tai chi and paper-cutting are great, they might not appeal to all seniors. To include more participants, we could add activities like music appreciation or storytelling sessions that cater to different interests and abilities. Secondly, to make the most of the half-day event, a detailed schedule should be created and shared beforehand. This will help ensure smooth transitions between activities and allow participants to prepare accordingly. Lastly, to foster deeper connections, I propose making the talent show interactive by inviting a few seniors to share their stories or talents alongside the students. This would create a more collaborative and intergenerational atmosphere. Thank you for considering my suggestions. I believe these adjustments will make the event more meaningful and memorable for everyone involved.

Grammar and Vocabulary （每题1分；共20分） Section A Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank. A Billion at Risk for Hearing Loss from Exposure to Loud Music More than one billion teens and young adults are at risk of losing their hearing, according to WHO (that’s the World Health Organization, not a rock band). It’s not just old folks who suffer hearing loss. Just by listening to music at what you probably think 1 (be) a normal level, or hanging out in music and sporting events, you can permanently damage your hearing. By analyzing listening habits of 12-to 35-year-olds in wealthier countries around the world, WHO has found about 40% of those 2 (study) are exposed to damaging levels of music and noise at entertainment venues. It has also found that nearly 50% listen to unsafe sound levels on personal listening devices, a behavior they should avoid 3 (engage) in. When it comes to personal listening devices, what extent or damage can you cause to your ears? It is directly related to 4 ________ you listen and how loud the sound. “The highest volume 5 (go) for safety concerns can be, for example, 85 decibels (分贝) for eight hours or 100 decibels for 15 minutes,” says WHO. Eighty-five decibels isn’t all that loud. According to the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, it’s about the level of city traffic that you’d hear from inside your car. Unfortunately, some 360 million of us 6 (suffer) moderate to severe hearing loss, according to the UN Health Agency Worldwide, 7 special mission is to improve global health. 8 that number does account for aging and birth-related factors, about half of all cases are avoidable. When it comes to your personal listening devices, such as your smartphone: —Turn the volume down. rather than go above 60%. —Wear noise 9 (cancel) earphones, or better yet, headphones. —Take “listening breaks” or only listen for just an hour a day —Learn about appropriate apps for that. Choose 10 to download on your phone to help monitor safe listening levels. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A．concern    B．barely    C．open    D．readily    E．trap    F．resisted     G．spoiled    H．tension    I．redirect    J．upset    K．well-meaning Helping Teens Through Tough Times The idea that experiencing psychological distress helps teens to mature may sound great in theory. However, when your own child is experiencing-emotional pain, it becomes a matter that could deeply 11 you. Caring parents hate to see their kids suffer and worry when their teens face challenges that impact their well-being. So what’s a loving adult to do? We can try to notice when we go the extra mile to keep a teen from becoming 12 . It’s easy to fall into this 13 . With a great deal of life experience, we can often anticipate difficulties that our teenagers don’t see coming. We see the approach of a problem and feel the urge to 14 our teenagers away from its path, hoping to use our wisdom for their benefit. Consider the case of a friend of mine. As her son’s high school soccer tryouts (选拔赛) approached, 15 arose during her family meals. Her 16 husband was often using dinnertime to ask their fifteen-year-old son about his training progress. The boy 17 , as one would expect from any normally developing teenager, and the meals often ended in angry arguments. Curious, my friend asked her husband why he kept bringing up a topic that always 18 their meals. He explained, “I’m worried that our son’s confidence will take a big hit if he gets cut from the team,” a concern she 19 understood since it was likely to happen. My friend wondered about their options. Could there be a possibility that if her husband consistently questioned their son’s training plans, he might become more 20 to his guidance. “This already isn’t working,” I said to her. “Doing more of it is probably a bad idea.” Instead, I suggested that they say, “We love you and know how much you want to make the soccer team, and we all know that you can increase your chances by getting in shape now.” And then leave it at that. III. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A. B.C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context By setting time aside to journal, teachers and learners have an in-depth moment with the subject they are writing about. They get to reflect and write on a subject with no limitations and, by doing so, end up with a good 21 record of the constant progress made. One of the most valuable parts of journaling is honest personal feedback. Journaling helps collect, record, and properly 22 information. In our world, and more so due to the internet and numerous books, there is much information. Students often think they can 23 the information they get from various sources, only to realize they need to remember a lot of fine details. Journaling can give students time to reflect on the 24 content and find ways to relate it to their lives. In a word, journaling helps 25 students, making them active readers. Journaling helps to nurture dreams and ideas and cultivate them into reality. Once something is penned down, it starts its journey toward being realized. Every time it is reflected on, it improves and develops. In your class, if students spend daily/weekly time journaling, the 26 makes them develop solid plans that they are passionate about. Since journaling helps keep track of things, it helps create a culture of problem-solving in students. Students become more 27 solving problems, and while doing so, they get an in-depth understanding of the subjects they take in school. Students also make many discoveries for themselves since they are more 28 . It is a wonder how much can be accomplished when learners are intentional about learning. Journaling and self-reflection develop self-esteem in students. The habits create a sense of freedom in expressing one's thoughts and further a forum to correct and improve the thought process. 29 , high self-esteem is formed in learners as they feel free to create, recreate, and improve. Teachers should give students guiding questions to help them decide on the topics given for writing. Guiding questions 30 the thinking process and encourage certain lines of thought. Teachers should ensure the questions are 31 . The questions should trigger creative thinking, curiosity, and problem-solving skills. Another way to build up the journaling habit is by throwing out the rule book. Most of the writing done in schools is governed by rules and feels like an examination. Journaling is meant to 32 writing and the creative habit. Getting rid of the rules in the initial stages allows for the 33 flow of ideas and the ability to express oneself. The process should be 34 . Teachers should ensure that students continuously write in their journals. Journaling and self-reflection ensure that students keep track of their daily happenings and feelings. The new daily task helps create a web of events, some of which are questions and other 35 to existing problems. 21．A．class B．service C．travel D．track 22．A．accumulate B．centralize C．analyze D．confirm 23．A．disclose B．retain C．convey D．share 24．A．removed B．dumped C．learned D．digested 25．A．transform B．connect C．grade D．amaze 26．A．reflection B．performance C．guidance D．inspiration 27．A．satisfied with B．devoted to C．tired of D．confused about 28．A．bored B．relaxed C．thrilled D．focused 29．A．Moreover B．Instead C．Therefore D．However 30．A．accompany B．disrupt C．explore D．prompt 31．A．old-fashioned B．noble-minded C．far-sighted D．eye-opening 32．A．nurture B．publish C．recommend D．collect 33．A．rapid B．free C．rhythmic D．steady 34．A．consistent B．complete C．complex D．comprehensive 35．A．messages B．notes C．solutions D．paths Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Research reveals that not only brain cells, but also cells from other body parts, can store memories. This discovery offers new insights into memory function and potential treatments for memory-related issues, according to New York University. The research aimed to explore whether non-brain cells contribute to memory by applying the massed-spaced effect — a principle suggesting that information is remembered better when learned over multiple periods rather than through intensive study in a single session. In their study, published in Nature Communications, scientists investigated two types of non-brain human cells in a laboratory setting. These cells were exposed to various chemical signals, similar to how brain cells respond to neurotransmitters (神经递质) during learning. In response, the non-brain cells activated a “memory gene”— the same gene that brain cells use for detecting patterns and restructure their connections to form memories. To monitor this process, the researchers engineered the cells to produce a fluorescent protein, allowing them to track when the memory gene was turned on or off. The results showed that these cells could detect repeated chemical signals, similar to neurotransmitter bursts in the brain, rather than extended ones. This mirrors how brain cells register learning with spaced breaks instead of learning everything all at once. When signals were spaced out, the “memory gene” was activated more strongly and for a longer time than when delivered all at once. “This reflects the massed-spaced effect,” says Kukushkin, a clinical associate professor at NYU. “It shows that repeated learning is a fundamental property of all cells.” “This discovery opens new doors for understanding how memory works and could lead to better ways to enhance learning and treat memory-related issues,” observes Kukushkin. “It also suggests that in the future, we may need to treat our body like the brain, considering how systems such as digestion or cancer cells ‘remember’ patterns to regulate blood sugar or respond to the pattern of cancer treatment. ” 36．What does the massed-spaced effect illustrate? A．The brain stores memory during deep sleep. B．Spacing learning over time improves memory. C．Memory is stored only when repeated continuously.

Although it feels as though you have a choice, the action that you ‘decide’ to take is entirely directed by automatic neural activity. Brain imaging studies show that a person’s action can be predicted by their brain activity up to 10 seconds before they themselves become aware they are going to act. Multiple neuroscientific studies show that even those important decisions that feel worked out are just as automatic as knee-jerk reactions (膝跳反应) (although more complex). Decision-making starts with the amygdala: a set of two almond-shaped nuclei (杏仁状核) buried deep within the brain, which generate emotion. The amygdala registers the information streaming in through our senses and responds to it in less than a second, sending signals throughout the brain. These produce an urge to run, fight, freeze or grab, according to how the amygdala values various stimuli. Before we act on the amygdala’s signals, however, the information is usually processed by other brain areas, including some that produce conscious thoughts and emotions. Areas concerned with recognition work out what’s going on, those concerned with memory compare it with previous experiences, and those concerned with reasoning, judging and planning get to work on constructing various action plans. The best plan—if we are lucky—is then selected and carried out. If any of this process goes wrong, we are likely to hesitate, or do something silly. The various stages of decision-making are marked by different types of brain activity. Fast (gamma)waves, with frequencies of 25 to 100 Hz, produce a keen awareness of the multiple factors that need to be taken into account to arrive at a decision. If you are trying to choose a sandwich, for instance, gamma waves generated in various cells within the ‘taste’ area of the brain bring to mind and compare the taste of ham, hummus, wholemeal, sourdough, and so on. Although it may seem useful to be aware of the full range of choice, too much information makes decision-making more difficult, so irrelevant factors get dismissed quickly and unconsciously. After this comparison stage, the brain switches to slow-wave activity (12 to 30 Hz). This extinguishes most of the gamma activity, leaving just a single ‘hotspot’ of gamma waves which marks the chosen option. Although there is no ‘you’ outside your brain to direct what it’s doing, you can help it to make good decisions by placing yourself in a situation which is likely to make the process run more smoothly. Doing something that is physically or mentally stimulating before making a decision will help your brain produce the initial gamma waves that generate awareness of the competing options. Getting over-excited, on the other hand, will prevent the switch to the slow brainwaves, making it much harder to single out a choice. 43．Why does the writer mention “knee-jerk reactions” in the first paragraph? A．To introduce the finding of the latest brain imaging studies. B．To illustrate that decisions are not consciously thought out. C．To call attention to a kind of neural reaction that is not very complex. D．To show the difference between decision-making and other brain activity. 44．What does the amygdala do according to the passage? A．It works out conscious thoughts and emotions. B．It selects the best action plan for a given situation. C．It dismisses factors that are irrelevant to the decision to be made. D．It processes sensory information and generates emotional responses. 45．What can be concluded from paragraphs 4 and 5? A．Slow-wave activity usually lasts longer than fast-wave activity. B．The brain prioritizes information before settling on a final choice. C．Decision-making is difficult when slow-wave activity occurs first. D．The brain needs as much information as possible to make a decision. 46．How does engaging in stimulating activities help the decision-making process? A．By preparing the brain to single out the most reasonable choice. B．By helping the brain switch to slow-wave activity more quickly. C．By getting the brain to focus on those most relevant alternatives. D．By making the brain more aware of the factors and choices involved. Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box Each sentence can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need. The Call of Alcohol People’s reactions to alcohol can vary widely—from those who enjoy it greatly to those who find it unappealing. The difference, as scientists are discovering, may not just be a matter of personal choice but also deeply rooted in genetics and physiological responses. A fascinating case is that of Lars Igum Rasmussen and his friends. 47 Researchers discovered that their levels of a hormone called FGF21, which typically helps regulate metabolism (新陈代谢), more than doubled. Interestingly, this hormone might also play a role in controlling alcohol intake. FGF21 is primarily produced in the liver (肝), but its effects extend to the brain, where it seems to play a role in regulating desires for alcohol and sugar. 48 This finding opens up new possibilities for developing treatments targeting FGF21 pathways to reduce heavy drinking. But why would a hormone that evolved to control metabolism also affect alcohol consumption? One theory suggests it might be tied to our evolutionary past. Early humans frequently consumed fermented (发酵的) foods and drinks, which could damage the liver if consumed too much. 49 In human studies, variations in the FGF21 gene have been linked to differences in alcohol consumption. Those with one variant are more likely to drink heavily, while others with a different variant are more likely to drink moderately or even drink nothing. These genetic insights are part of a broader effort to reveal the complex relationship between our biology and drinking behavior. 50 If FGF21 or similar pathways can be used for treatment purposes, it might become possible to help individuals struggling with alcohol dependence. This could also provide new avenues for understanding how our organs, like the liver, influence behaviors traditionally considered purely psychological. A．But whatever happens, we are still left with the discovery that our livers influence our behaviour in unexpected ways. B．But, so far, research had only shown that it just works for a short period of time. C．FGF21 could have evolved as a protective response to lessen this damage by reducing the desire to drink more. D．The implications of this research are significant. E．They took part in a three-day drinking marathon—not just for fun, but as part of a study on the effects of heavy drinking. F．When animals are genetically modified to produce higher levels of FGF21, they show a decreased preference for alcohol and sweetened food. IV.Summary Writing Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point( s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Teenagers should be pulled of the sofa For many years, scientists thought that the human brain was fully mature before the teen years. They thought that a person's brain growth was complete and the structure was more or less fixed by the age of 3. However, more recent research shows that although the brain reaches its maximum size between the ages of 12 and 14, brain development is not yet complete. The brain's functionally different sections communicate with each other through synapses- connections between nerve (神经) cells. Scientists have found that synapses grow or die away, depending on how much they are used to process information, The good news is that teenagers do have the potential, through choice and behavior, to shape their brain development. The brain automatically gets rid of the synapses that it doesn't need in order to make the remaining ones more efficient. During the time the brain is removing synapses, the cells and connections that are used survive, while the ones that are not used die away. For example, if a teenager is doing music, sports or academic studies, those are the cells and connections that will become part of the brain's operating system. But unfortunately, if he or she is lying on the sofa, watching TV and playing computer games, those are the brain cells and connections that will remain into adulthood. Therefore, what you do with your teenage years could have an effect on the rest of your life, What is important is that learning how synapses grow or die away can help teenagers be better equipped to make more intelligent choices, thus motivating them to take a moment before acting to consider the consequences of their actions. If you don't want to become an adult who is buried in the sofa all day long, pull yourself out of it when you are still a teenager. 51.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.Translation (共15分。第1小题和第2小题,每题3分;第3题4分;第4题5分。) Directions:Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets 52．你今天下午方便抽空来跟我见个面吗？（convenient） 53．这栋大楼里有一家装配了高级音响系统的剧院。 (equip) 54．这个家庭主妇选了一些冷冻食品， 其中三分之一贴着可回收包装的标签。(which) 55．这个博物馆的奇妙之处在于将乡村的变迁，时光的痕迹，童年的回忆，融合到一个固定的空间里。 (what) VI.Guided Writing (共25分) Directions: Write an English composition in 120-150 words according to the instructions given below in Chinese 假如你是明启中学的学生李明，你校准备以班级为单位，在校园周边老年社区开展“爱满社区”的社会实践活动，并在校园网公布了如下方案，征求师生意见。写一封邮件给活动组织者，内容须包括： 1）你认为方案中需要改进的地方； 2）你的修改建议及理由。 活动方案 时间 重阳节（农历九月初九）周五 时长 半天 地点 社区图书馆 活动内容 ●组织老年人打太极 ●组织老年人做剪纸 ●学生才艺表演展示 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 / 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
