I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain’s literary heritage (文学遗产). Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. These writers are famous all over the world because their books have been translated into many different languages. In the UK, their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written. We say that these novels are “classic” because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.
I read classic novels not only because they are part of my university lessons but also because I enjoy them. They can teach you a lot about how people used to live and what society was like in the past. Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.
Classic novels usually have memorable stories and interesting characters. One of my favourite books is Charles Dickens Great Expectations. It is about a boy called Pip who suddenly receives a lot of money from a mysterious supporter. As he grows up, his character changes: he becomes quite selfish and mean. Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiance ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark house and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating character, both sad and scary.
Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience. And it has become part of life.
24. Why are some novels called “classic”?
A. They stand the test of time. B. They are taught at universities.
C. They are written by famous authors. D. They are translated into many languages.
25. Why is Hard Times mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the university lessons.
B. To remind people of the poverty in London.
C. To let people know about what family life was like.
D. To prove classic novels help people know the past.
26. What can we know about the character Miss Havisham?
A. She is selfish and mean. B. She lives an unhappy life.
C. She loves wedding dresses most. D. She becomes rich with others’ support.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why I like classic novels B. Why some novels are classic
C. How to read classic novels D. How to teach classic novels
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者在大学学习英国文学,一直为英国的文学遗产感到自豪。作者喜爱阅读经典小说,不仅经典小说是大学课程的一部分,也是因为作者真的喜欢读。作者还介绍了自己最爱的一本书是查尔斯·狄更斯的《远大前程》,介绍了书中的人物和故事内容。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“We say that these novels are “classic” because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.(我们说这些小说是“经典”,因为它们出版多年后仍被阅读和欣赏)”可知,有些小说被称为“经典”是因为它们经受住了时间的考验。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.(查尔斯·狄更斯的小说《艰难岁月》让我们想起了工业革命时期伦敦的贫困,而简·奥斯汀的小说则向我们展示了18世纪的家庭生活)”可知,第2段中提到了Hard Times是为了证明经典小说能帮助人们了解过去。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiance ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark house and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating character, both sad and scary.(另一个重要人物是Miss Havisham。当她年轻的时候,她的未婚夫在他们结婚的那天跑了。她住在一个黑暗的房子里,仍然穿着她的婚纱。她是一个迷人的角色,既悲伤又可怕)”可知,关于Miss Havisham,我们能知道她过着不幸福的生活。故选B。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience. And it has become part of life.(阅读经典小说丰富了我的知识和生活经验。它已经成为生活的一部分)”结合作者在大学学习英国文学,一直为英国的文学遗产感到自豪。作者喜爱阅读经典小说,不仅经典小说是大学课程的一部分,也是因为作者真的喜欢读。作者还介绍了自己最爱的一本书是查尔斯·狄更斯的《远大前程》,介绍了书中的人物和故事内容。由此可知A选项“Why I like classic novels(为什么我喜欢经典小说)”是本文最好的标题。故选A项。
C
Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will mess up your house, destroy your belongings, bark extremely, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that turn out at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to what is acceptable.
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the base for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to set up the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to create yourself top dog or leader of the dog pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most pet dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
28. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
A. happen when they go wild B. get worse in modern society
C. be just part of their nature D. present a danger to human beings
29. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
A. sure to solve all the dog’s behavior problems B. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
C. the base for dogs to perform tasks D. an extreme measure in obedience training
30. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
A. To avoid being punished. B. To show their feeling for their masters.
C. To win leadership of the dog pack. D. To show their willingness to obey.
31. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
A. can give the dog more rewards B. will enjoy a better family life
C. will have more confidence in himself D. can give the dog more freedom
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是狗的行为问题及其根源,并强调通过服从训练改善狗的行为,增进人与狗之间的关系。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that turn out at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.(几乎所有行为问题都是完全正常的狗类活动,只是发生在错误的时间、地点或针对错误的对象。)”可知,狗的行为问题实际上是它们正常的自然行为,只是发生在错误的时间、地点或针对错误的对象,由此可知,行为问题本质上是狗天性的一部分。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.(训练为你和狗之间打开了一条沟通渠道。有效的沟通对于指导狗完成你希望它做的事情是必要的。)”可知,只有通过沟通,狗才能理解主人的指令并执行相应的行为,由此可知,有效的沟通是训练狗完成任务的基础。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Most pet dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.(大多数宠物狗喜欢表演技巧,以愉快地接受你是主人的事实。)”可知,狗表演技巧是为了表达它们愿意服从主人。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.(一只训练有素的狗会更加自信,并且比未受训练的狗更安全地被赋予更多的自由。)”可知,当狗接受有效的服从训练后,主人可以给予它更多自由。故选D项。

If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something that does not get used regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. For example, a hobby that you haven’t done for a few years, like playing the piano. The next time you pick it up, maybe you’ve forgotten altogether! In order to prevent this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp.
Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to decline (衰退). In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia (痴呆). However, all is not lost because these days it’s relatively easy to train your brain. Smartphones and apps have put programmes that can test, keep and even improve our memories and a number of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains sharp, right?
Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people think it is beneficial to play some online games that are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits is “weak to non-existent”. Playing a “brain game” may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing result in people’s daily cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Don’t lose heart, though. There are other ways to develop the brain. It recommends trying new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering.
There’s more good news, too. James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, has said that brain decline is not unavoidable. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So, hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do.
32. Why is playing the piano mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic of brain decline. B. To explain how to keep physically healthy.
C. To show the importance of regular exercise. D. To illustrate the meaning of an old saying.
33. What can we infer about the effectiveness of playing online brain games from paragraph 3?
A. The benefits are not obvious in terms of daily cognitive abilities.
B. Both game performance and cognitive functions are greatly improved.
C. Strong and continuous benefits have been proved.
D. The evidence of the benefits is weak to non-existent.
34. According to James Goodwin, which of the following does NOT help prevent brain decline?
A. Taking part in a new cooking class that teaches techniques unknown before.
B. Playing a familiar game that does not demand much thought.
C. Participating in a photography course that challenges one’s creative skills.
D. Learning a new musical instrument that requires concentration.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle are key to keeping the brain healthy.
B. Brain decline is natural and unavoidable as people age.
C. Online brain games can improve people’s cognitive abilities.
D. Engaging in new and challenging activities can benefit brain health.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了如何通过参与新的具有挑战性的活动来保持大脑健康。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something that does not get used regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. For example, a hobby that you haven’t done for a few years, like playing the piano. The next time you pick it up, maybe you’ve forgotten altogether! In order to prevent this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp.( 如果你不使用它,你就会失去它。至少,老话是这么说的。它指的是不经常使用的东西很快就会陷入衰退状态。例如,你有几年没有做过的爱好,比如弹钢琴。下次你拿起它的时候,也许你已经完全忘记了!为了防止这种情况,人们经常锻炼以保持他们的技能锋利。)”可知,第一段中提到了长时间不弹钢琴,再次弹奏时可能会完全忘记,是为了说明前面提到的那句老话“If you don’t use it, you lose it.”的意思,即如果不经常使用某样东西,它就会迅速陷入衰退状态。因此,提到弹钢琴的目的是阐释这句老话的含义。故选D项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Playing a “brain game” may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing result in people’s daily cognitive (认知的) abilities.( 玩“脑力游戏”可能会提高游戏表现,但这在人们的日常认知能力方面尚未显示出令人信服的结果。)”可知,玩在线健脑游戏可能会提高游戏表现,但在人们日常认知能力方面的效果并不令人信服,即好处在日常认知能力方面不明显。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, has said that brain decline is not unavoidable. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health.( Age UK的首席科学家詹姆斯·古德温(James Goodwin)表示,大脑衰退并非不可避免。只要这些活动“对你来说是新鲜的,需要你集中注意力”,它们就能对大脑健康有益。)”可知,对大脑健康有益的活动是对你来说新的且需要集中注意力的。B 选项 “玩一个不需要太多思考的熟悉游戏”,既不新也不需要集中注意力,不能帮助预防大脑衰退。故选B项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So, hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do.( 只要这些活动“对你来说是新鲜的,需要你集中注意力”,它们就能对大脑健康有益。所以,快点,走出去,尝试一些新的东西。也许是时候尝试一下你一直想做的爱好了。)”可知,文章主要讨论了如何通过参与新的具有挑战性的活动来保持大脑健康,指出尽管一些人认为在线益智游戏可以改善大脑健康,但证据不足。此外,文章推荐寻求新的活动,挑战思维方式,参与社交,同时养成健康的生活方式,这些都可以为大脑健康带来好处。因此,文章的主旨大意是“参与新的具有挑战性的活动有益于大脑健康”。故选D项。

【36题详解】
根据上文的“Some students study well but still may be much afraid of exams and due to this reason they get upset and won’t be able to get marks.(有些学生学习很好,但仍然可能很害怕考试,由于这个原因,他们很烦恼,将无法得到分数。)”和下文的“You have to be confident and it is of great help for you to gain success.(你必须自信,这对你取得成功很有帮助。)”可知,F项“所以在开始学习之前,放下你所有的恐惧,放松你的大脑”承接上文,指出该如何应对害怕考试这个问题,下文继续指出还要增强信心来应对此问题,与本段小标题“Never fear or hate exam and be confident.(不要害怕或讨厌考试,要自信。)”相呼应。故选F。
37题详解】
根据上文的“Prepare a timetable before starting the study.(在开始学习之前准备一个时间表。)”和下文的“Difficult subjects can be given more time and easier ones less, but most importantly you should spare some time for rest.(难的科目可以多一些时间,容易的科目可以少一些时间,但最重要的是你应该留出一些休息的时间。)”可知,C项“这应该包括所有的科目。”承接上文,指出制定时间表时要涵盖所有科目,下文具体指出了如何合理分配时间,该项的subjects是提示词。故选C。
【38题详解】
根据上文的“Studying atmosphere plays a very important role. Can anyone study well while others around are watching TV? So pick a place where you feel comfortable.(学习氛围起着非常重要的作用。当别人在看电视的时候,有人能好好学习吗?所以选择一个你觉得舒服的地方。)”和下文的“Make sure that while you are studying a subject you are focusing on it only. So keep the books of other subjects away from your eyesight so that you won’t be upset about all the things you have to learn.(确保当你在学习一门学科时,你只专注于它。所以让其他科目的书远离你的视线,这样你就不会因为所有你必须学习的东西而心烦意乱。)”可知,G项(这是你感到放松的地方,可以集中注意力在你正在做的事情上。)承接上文,说明了舒适的地方会让人感到放松,带来的好处是你可以集中注意力做事情。故选G。
【39题详解】
根据上文的“This is a very important point. While studying, make small notes. The note should be short and clear to make the review easier.(这是非常重要的一点。学习时,做简洁的笔记。注释应该简短明了,以使复习更容易。)”和下文的“Yet don’t try to cover everything in it.(然而,不要试图涵盖所有内容)”可知,E项“一个好的笔记应该包括最重要的要点。”承接上文,指出做笔记时要简短明了,即要记下重点,与下文构成转折关系。故选E。
【40题详解】
此处是本段小标题,根据下文的“On the night before exam you have to sleep well, at least 6 hours and not more than 8 hours. Remember this will have a great effect on your exam. And have your food as in your daily diet.(考试前的晚上你必须睡好,至少6个小时,不超过8个小时。记住这会对你的考试有很大的影响。像往常一样吃你的食物。)”可知,B项“睡好,吃好。”能概括本段内容,适合作为标题。故选B。

阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Among the increasing number of foreign internet influencers visiting China, American YouTube star Darren “IShowSpeed” is under the spotlight.
____56____ 20-year-old streamer arrived in China on Monday, ____57____ (kick) off a journey that has already drawn massive global attention, according to a media report.
IShowSpeed’s China tour began in Shanghai, China’s busy ____58____ (finance) centre, where he streamed live for more than six hours, amazed by the city’s tall buildings and lively streets. As one fan on YouTube put it, “this man is doing a great job in getting rid of all the ____59____ (west) false information about China in just six hours.”
Since 2022, IShowSpeed has been live-streaming his world adventures. In the past two and a half years, he ____60____ (be) to about 25 countries. His real-time broadcasts have had a lot of problems — from being attacked, cheated and robbed, to having his streams suddenly____61____ (stop).
But his China trip is different. It’s a rare and good experience in his broadcasting career. It not only provides a lot of content but also goes ____62____ (smooth) without any trouble throughout the whole journey.
An American blogger talked about IShowSpeed’s China journey and said: “The US government spent $1.6 billion last year on trying to say bad things about China. But the influence of ____63____ they did is less than what individual influencers can do by live - streaming real experiences. When creators just travel in China and show the ____64____ (true), those big propaganda budgets become useless. That’s the interesting thing in our digital age — real things are always better than made-up _____65_____ (story).”
【答案】56. The
57. kicking
58. financial
59. western
60. has been
61. stopped
62. smoothly
63. what 64. truth
65. stories
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍的是美国网红IShowSpeed访问中国的情况及其直播内容对打破西方虚假信息的影响。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这位20岁的主播于周一抵达中国,开启了一段已经引发全球广泛关注的旅程。结合句意,此处指的是上文提到的“American YouTube star Darren “IShowSpeed””,所以此处特指“这位20岁的主播”,需用定冠词the,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填The。
【57题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:同上。此处为现在分词短语作状语,kick与主语The 20-year-old streamer之间为主动关系,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填kicking。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意:IShowSpeed的中国之旅从中国的金融中心上海开始,他在那里进行了超过六小时的直播,惊叹于城市的高楼大厦和充满活力的街道。此处为形容词修饰名词centre,finance的形容词为financial表示“金融的”符合句意。故填financial。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:正如一位YouTube粉丝所说:“这个人在短短六小时内就很好地消除了所有关于中国的西方虚假信息。”此处为形容词修饰名词短语false information,west的形容词western表示“西方的”符合句意。故填western。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在过去的两年半里,他已经去过大约25个国家。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In the past two and a half years可知,此处应用现在完成时,主语为he,所以谓语动词为has been。故填has been。
61题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:他的实时直播遇到了很多问题——从被攻击、欺骗和抢劫,到直播突然被中断。此处为“have +宾语+宾补”结构,his streams与stop(使中断)之间为被动关系,所以此处使用过去分词stopped。故填stopped。
【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:这不仅提供了大量内容,而且整个旅程顺利进行,没有任何麻烦。此处需用副词修饰动词goes,smooth的副词smoothly表示“顺利地”符合句意。故填smoothly。
【63题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:美国政府去年花费了16亿美元试图抹黑中国,但他们所做的影响远不如个人网红通过直播真实体验所能达到的效果。此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作介词of的宾语,从句中缺少宾语,指的是事情,所以此处使用连接代词what。故填what。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:当创作者只是在中国旅行并展示真相时,那些庞大的宣传预算就变得毫无用处。此处为名词作宾语,true的名词为truth表示“真相”,表抽象意义,不可数,故填truth。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这就是我们数字时代有趣之处——真实的东西总是比虚构的故事更好。此处为名词作宾语,story为可数名词,意为“故事”,空前无限定词,所以此处需用复数形式stories,表示泛指。故填stories。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One morning, Joey sat at the kitchen table and read the sports page of the paper. He heard his grandfather coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn't his usual happy self.
“Morning, Grandfather,” he smiled. His grandfather sat across the table, looking sad. He didn't pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, “Joey, is anything happening in town today?” “There's a ball game between Sequoyah Middle School and my school tonight. Would you like to go?” Joey told him.
Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn't read. His grandfather had told him often, "I didn't have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read."
One day Grandfather asked Joey, “Joey, would you go with me to the grocery store? I need several things.” In the store, Joey’s grandfather walked up and down the aisles (过道), looking at all the pictures on the cans. He saw a can without a picture on it. “What's in that can?” he asked Joey, reading the label, said “It's a can of chicken soup.” His grandfather walked to the meat counter but he couldn't read the prices or the labels. Finally, Grandfather gave Joey the grocery list and stepped out of the store. “I will meet you at the car,” he said. Joey watched him go through the door, and he thought, I wish I could help him out but I wouldn't know where to begin and how to start.
The next day was Sunday. Joey went to the library to look through some books when he saw a sign on the library wall. It read, “Do you know somebody who can't read? We can help. Just call this number.” Joey wrote the number down, and hurried home “Somebody can teach you how to read. Just call this number.” Joey explained excitedly to his grandfather.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school. He arrived at the library an hour early. During that first class, he was so worried and nervous that he couldn’t remember anything the teacher said. He felt very sad and even wanted to give up. Joey encouraged him and promised to help with his study. They learned together and worked hard on the lesson every day. He took over all the chores to give his grandfather more time to study. Grandfather’s constant efforts earned considerable progress in the following months.
Months later, Grandfather said to Joey, “I just got a letter from Aunt Helen and let me read it to you.” As Grandfather read, he pronounced each word very slowly. When he finished reading the letter, Joey cried. He was so proud of his grandfather for overcoming a lifelong obstacle that his chest felt as though it was about to burst. Grandfather looked up from the page and locked his tear-filled eyes on Joey. “Grandfather,” said Joey, “good job! I’m so proud of you.” Grandfather smiled back and then broke into a big wide grin.

I study English literature at university and have always been proud of Britain’s literary heritage (文学遗产). Some British authors that you may have heard of are Charles Dickens and Jane Austen. These writers are famous all over the world because their books have been translated into many different languages. In the UK, their novels are celebrated as some of the best that have ever been written. We say that these novels are “classic” because they are still read and enjoyed years after their publication.
I read classic novels not only because they are part of my university lessons but also because I enjoy them. They can teach you a lot about how people used to live and what society was like in the past. Novels like Hard Times by Charles Dickens remind us of the poverty in London during the Industrial Revolution while Jane Austen’s fiction shows us what family life was like in the 18th century.
Classic novels usually have memorable stories and interesting characters. One of my favourite books is Charles Dickens Great Expectations. It is about a boy called Pip who suddenly receives a lot of money from a mysterious supporter. As he grows up, his character changes: he becomes quite selfish and mean. Another important character is Miss Havisham. When she was young, her fiance ran away on their wedding day. She lives in a dark house and still wears her wedding dress. She is a fascinating character, both sad and scary.
Reading classic novels enriches my knowledge and life experience And it has become part of life.
24. Why are some novels called “classic”?
A. They stand the test of time. B. They are taught at universities.
C. They are written by famous authors. D. They are translated into many languages.
25. Why is Hard Times mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To introduce the university lessons.
B. To remind people of the poverty in London.
C. To let people know about what family life was like.
D. To prove classic novels help people know the past.
26. What can we know about the character Miss Havisham?
A. She is selfish and mean. B. She lives an unhappy life.
C. She loves wedding dresses most. D. She becomes rich with others’ support.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why I like classic novels B. Why some novels are classic
C. How to read classic novels D. How to teach classic novels
C
Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will mess up your house, destroy your belongings, bark extremely, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that turn out at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to what is acceptable.
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train (驯服) it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the base for solving just about any problem. Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.
Training is also an easy way to set up the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to create yourself top dog or leader of the dog pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show obedience to you. Most pet dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.
28. Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.
A happen when they go wild B. get worse in modern society
C. be just part of their nature D. present a danger to human beings
29. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.
A. sure to solve all the dog’s behavior problems B. a good way to teach the dog new tricks
C. the base for dogs to perform tasks D. an extreme measure in obedience training
30. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
A. To avoid being punished. B. To show their feeling for their masters.
C. To win leadership of the dog pack. D. To show their willingness to obey.
31. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.
A. can give the dog more rewards B. will enjoy a better family life
C. will have more confidence in himself D. can give the dog more freedom
D
If you don’t use it, you lose it. At least, that’s how the old saying goes. It refers to the idea that something that does not get used regularly quickly falls into a state of decline. For example, a hobby that you haven’t done for a few years, like playing the piano. The next time you pick it up, maybe you’ve forgotten altogether! In order to prevent this, people take regular exercise to keep their skills sharp.
Well, what about the brain? As we age, our brains can naturally begin to decline (衰退). In some cases, this can lead to certain mental conditions such as dementia (痴呆). However, all is not lost because these days it’s relatively easy to train your brain. Smartphones and apps have put programmes that can test, keep and even improve our memories and a number of other mental abilities. With a little practice every day, we can keep our brains sharp, right?
Well, no, actually. According to a report from the Global Council on Brain Health, even though many people think it is beneficial to play some online games that are designed to improve brain health, the evidence of the benefits is “weak to non-existent”. Playing a “brain game” may lead to improvements in game performance, but this has yet to show a convincing result in people’s daily cognitive (认知的) abilities.
Don’t lose heart, though. There are other ways to develop the brain. It recommends trying new activities that challenge the way you think and are socially engaging, while leading to a healthy lifestyle. Among their suggestions are practising tai chi, taking photography classes, learning new technologies, gardening, art projects or volunteering.
There’s more good news, too. James Goodwin, chief scientist at Age UK, has said that brain decline is not unavoidable. As long as the activities are “new to you and require your concentrated attention”, they can provide benefits for brain health. So, hurry up, get out there and try something new. Maybe it’s time to try that hobby you’ve always wanted to do.
32. Why is playing the piano mentioned in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic of brain decline. B. To explain how to keep physically healthy.
C. To show the importance of regular exercise. D. To illustrate the meaning of an old saying.
33. What can we infer about the effectiveness of playing online brain games from paragraph 3?
A. The benefits are not obvious in terms of daily cognitive abilities.
B. Both game performance and cognitive functions are greatly improved.
C. Strong and continuous benefits have been proved.
D. The evidence of the benefits is weak to non-existent.
34. According to James Goodwin, which of the following does NOT help prevent brain decline?
A. Taking part in a new cooking class that teaches techniques unknown before.
B. Playing a familiar game that does not demand much thought.
C. Participating in a photography course that challenges one’s creative skills.
D. Learning a new musical instrument that requires concentration.
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Regular exercise and healthy lifestyle are key to keeping the brain healthy.
B. Brain decline is natural and unavoidable as people age.
C. Online brain games can improve people’s cognitive abilities.
D. Engaging in new and challenging activities can benefit brain health.

One morning, Joey sat at the kitchen table and read the sports page of the paper. He heard his grandfather coming down the stairs. When his grandfather came into the kitchen, Joey could see he wasn't his usual happy self.
“Morning, Grandfather,” he smiled. His grandfather sat across the table, looking sad. He didn't pick up the paper to read. Instead, he asked, “Joey, is anything happening in town today?” “There's a ball game between Sequoyah Middle School and my school tonight. Would you like to go?” Joey told him.
Joey felt bad for his grandfather. He knew he couldn't read. His grandfather had told him often, "I didn't have the chance to go to school regularly. Looking after the animals and tending to the crops on the farm were much more important in those days than learning to read."
One day Grandfather asked Joey, “Joey, would you go with me to the grocery store? I need several things.” In the store, Joey’s grandfather walked up and down the aisles (过道), looking at all the pictures on the cans. He saw a can without a picture on it. “What's in that can?” he asked Joey, reading the label, said “It's a can of chicken soup.” His grandfather walked to the meat counter but he couldn't read the prices or the labels. Finally, Grandfather gave Joey the grocery list and stepped out of the store. “I will meet you at the car,” he said. Joey watched him go through the door, and he thought, I wish I could help him out but I wouldn't know where to begin and how to start.
The next day was Sunday. Joey went to the library to look through some books when he saw a sign on the library wall. It read, “Do you know somebody who can't read? We can help. Just call this number.” Joey wrote the number down, and hurried home “Somebody can teach you how to read. Just call this number.” Joey explained excitedly to his grandfather.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
Several days later, Grandfather put on his best suit for his first day of school.
