B With two Olympic medals and two world skateboarding titles, 16-year-old Rayssa Leal has achieved what most people dream of. Her skills, paired with the joys she shows in skateparks, have brought her fans as well as public attention. But instead of talent and hard work, she shared that her support system made a big difference in landing her a medal at Paris 2024. At the close of the run section of the eight-woman final, Leal had failed to put down a single, clean line, lowering her hope of a top three finish. She knew the game wasn’t over, but the already heavy stress on Leal’s shoulders doubled in weight. “After I screwed up the two runs, I thought I was not going to be able to do it anymore.” Leal related her experience. It was then that she went and got support. Her family was there, and her whole team was there. Having received a hug from everyone and having heard very positive and encouraging words, she came back 100 percent, even more focused. That was what changed the game right there. Re-energized, the teenager finished the last section with her very best. And though the gold and silver were out of her reach, she never backed down in the fight for bronze. When the last skater who could overtake her failed the last run, Leal said she fell into a ton of feelings. “As soon as I realised that I was in third place, I broke down. My coach was there. We hugged each other, and we cried together. And all I could think was the most positive thoughts in the world.” 4. What played a major role in Leal’s success at Paris Olympics? A. Effort. B. Skills. C. Support. D. Strategies. 5. What does the underlined phrase “screwed up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Focused on. B. Did badly in. C. Took control of. D. Gave up. 6. How did Leal feel when she hugged her coach? A. Grateful. B. Stressed. C. Peaceful. D. Anxious. 7. What lesson can be learned from Leal’s story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A little encouragement goes a long way. C. You cannot lose the game if you don’t play the game. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction (预测), challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations (强度计算)for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical (统计的) features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then ordered to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background sound in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the capability to notably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with trustworthy earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 8. How does the AI predict earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the outer space. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By measuring changes in the database of earthquake recordings. 9. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 10. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train AI algorithms. 11. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Dependable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Capable and affordable. D. Advanced and promising. D The ability to remember and recognize a musical theme does not seem to be affected by age, unlike many other forms of memory. People with severe Alzheimer’s might not recognize faces, but can still sing the songs of their childhood, says Sarah Sauvé, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln. The effect of age on the ability to recall music has been investigated, but Sauvé was interested in exploring this effect in a real-world setting such as a concert. In her study, she tested how well a group of 90 healthy adults aged 18 to 86, were able to recognize familiar and unfamiliar musical themes at a live concert and another 31 people watched a recording of the concert in a laboratory. They listened to three pieces: a well-known Mozart piece and two new ones. One new piece had clear melodies (旋律), while the other was more unusual. Participants had to recognize a short melody repeated later in each piece. The melodic piece from Mozart was equally well recognized across all ages and musical backgrounds, with no loss of recognition as age increased. All participants were less confident in recognizing the theme in the new melodic piece, and even less confident with the unfamiliar and unusual piece, but this didn’t change with age either. The study also found no differences between concert-goers and lab participants. Steffen Herff, a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at the University of Sydney, Australia, says the reason music memory stay strong might have to do with the emotions that music stirs in people, which helps it stick in our memory. “We know from general memory research that, effectively, the amygdala — or emotional processing — operates a little bit like an importance stamp,” he says. The study collected limited data on some participants’ cognitive health, and so did not provide detailed insights into how neurodegenerative (神经退行性的) diseases affect memory recall. But Herff says there is great interest in using music as a form of ‘cognitive scaffolding’ — that is, as a memory aid for other information — in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. 12. What does Sauvé’s study focus on? A. The role music plays in recognition tasks. B. The difference between live and recorded concerts. C. The ability to recognize unfamiliar musical themes. D. The impacts of aging on music recognition in real-life situations. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The design of the study. B. The reflection of the study. C. The results of Sauvé’s study. D. The background of the study. 14. What role does the amygdala play in memory, according to Steffen Herff? A. It helps with reasoning. B. It processes musical notes. C. It identifies emotions in people. D. It acts as a marker of importance. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Music is of no use as a memory aid. B. More data is needed for further study. C. Music is useful for treating most diseases. D. The data on cognitive health is not objective. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Quiet a Complainer(抱怨者) Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. ____16____ Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument. Change the subject.

But the price, five dollars would buy almost a week’s groceries for his family. Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora, who struggled to feed and clothe her five children. Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour-sack shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “Once we went to New York, my mum saw a same one. I know she liked it very much, because she fixed her eyes on it. I will buy it for her. But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?” “I’ll try,” the shop owner smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on such good-looking but costly things. It should keep for a while. ” Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He had made up his mind to raise the five dollars and not tell anybody. Hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben had an idea. He discovered that he could collect the hessian sacks (麻袋) thrown away in the street and sell them back for five cents a piece. Every day after school, Reuben walked down the town, collecting the hessian sacks. On the day when summer holiday began, no student was more delighted than Reuben. Now he would have more time for his “work”. All summer long Reuben kept on his secret task. Soon the leaves fell and the winds blew cold. Reuben wandered in the streets, diligently searching for his hessian treasures. Often, he was cold, tired and hungry, but the thought of the object in the shop window supported him. Eventually, the time had come! It was Mothers’ Day. He poured the coins out and began to count. Then he counted again. He made it! Exactly five dollars, not a cent more, not a cent less. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the money in hands tightly, Reuben headed for the shop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mother opened the box carefully, and a shining necklace appeared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一年级期中学情检测 英语试题 说明：本试题分为第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分，第Ⅰ卷为第1页至第10页，共55题，第Ⅱ卷为第10页至第12页，共21题。请将答案按要求填写在答题纸相应位置，答在其它位置无效，考试结束后将答题卡上交。试题满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（共95分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了翡翠海岸科学中心针对翡翠海岸的学生的实地考察活动，包括其课程和价格信息等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Lessons for all ages 部分“Lessons can be changed to suit the needs of most grade levels and include knowledge of different areas. (课程可以根据大多数年级的需要进行更改，并包括不同领域的知识。)”可知，该科学中心的实地考察活动提供定制课程。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Pricing information部分“$12 per student;1 free guardian every 10 students, additional guardians $6 each; teachers are always free. (每位学生12美元；每10名学生有1名免费监护人，额外监护人每人6美元；老师们总是免费的。)”和“Minimum fee of $120 per field trip. (每次实地考察的最低费用为120美元。)”可知，一名学生收费12 美元，每10名学生可以有1位监护人不收费，老师都不收费，但是一次实地考察活动最低费用是120美元。结合这些信息可知，9名学生和1位监护人原本费用应是114美元（学生人数不到10，监护人需收费，老师不收费），但是没有达到最低收费标准，所以按最低收费120美元算。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Bring your group or class to explore our hands-on Science Center now which provides wonderful learning opportunities for students all along the Emerald Coast! ( 现在就带上您的团队或班级来探索我们的动手科学中心，它为翡翠海岸的学生提供了极好的学习机会！)”和Lessons for all ages 部分“For a list of the types of field trip lessons we currently offer, please click here to download our Education Program Guide. (有关我们目前提供的实地考察课程类型的列表，请单击此处下载我们的教育计划指南。)”可知，本文是一则在线广告。故选B。 B With two Olympic medals and two world skateboarding titles, 16-year-old Rayssa Leal has achieved what most people dream of.

At the close of the run section of the eight-woman final, Leal had failed to put down a single, clean line, lowering her hope of a top three finish. She knew the game wasn’t over, but the already heavy stress on Leal’s shoulders doubled in weight. “After I screwed up the two runs, I thought I was not going to be able to do it anymore.” Leal related her experience. It was then that she went and got support. Her family was there, and her whole team was there. Having received a hug from everyone and having heard very positive and encouraging words, she came back 100 percent, even more focused. That was what changed the game right there. Re-energized, the teenager finished the last section with her very best. And though the gold and silver were out of her reach, she never backed down in the fight for bronze. When the last skater who could overtake her failed the last run, Leal said she fell into a ton of feelings. “As soon as I realised that I was in third place, I broke down. My coach was there. We hugged each other, and we cried together. And all I could think was the most positive thoughts in the world.” 4. What played a major role in Leal’s success at Paris Olympics? A. Effort. B. Skills. C. Support. D. Strategies. 5. What does the underlined phrase “screwed up” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Focused on. B. Did badly in. C. Took control of. D. Gave up. 6. How did Leal feel when she hugged her coach? A. Grateful. B. Stressed. C. Peaceful. D. Anxious. 7. What lesson can be learned from Leal’s story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A little encouragement goes a long way. C. You cannot lose the game if you don’t play the game. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了16岁的运动员Rayssa Leal因家人和团队的支持重拾信心完成比赛的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But instead of talent and hard work, she shared that her support system made a big difference in landing her a medal at Paris 2024.(但她分享说，她的支持系统对她在2024年巴黎奥运会上获得奖牌起了很大的作用，而不是天赋和努力)”可知，家人和团队的支持在Leal在巴黎奥运会上取得成功起到了重要作用。故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“At the close of the run section of the eight-woman final, Leal had failed to put down a single, clean line, lowering her hope of a top three finish.(在八人女子决赛的赛跑部分结束时，Leal未能完成一个单一的，干净的路线，降低了她获得前三名的希望)”可知，Leal在比赛中出现失误，故此处指“搞砸了比赛”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We hugged each other, and we cried together. And all I could think was the most positive thoughts in the world.(我的教练在那里。我们拥抱在一起，一起哭。我所能想到的都是世界上最积极的想法)”可知，Leal与教练相拥而泣，并想到“最积极的想法”，体现她的感激，而非压力、平静或焦虑。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第三段中“It was then that she went and got support. Her family was there, and her whole team was there. Having received a hug from everyone and having heard very positive and encouraging words, she came back 100 percent, even more focused. That was what changed the game right there.(就在那时，她去寻求支持。她的家人和整个团队都在那里。在得到了每个人的拥抱，听到了非常积极和鼓励的话后，她100%地回来了，甚至更加专注。正是这一点改变了比赛)”可知，Leal因家人和团队的支持重拾信心，说明了鼓励的力量。故选B。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction (预测), challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations (强度计算)for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical (统计的) features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then ordered to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background sound in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the capability to notably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with trustworthy earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 8. How does the AI predict earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the outer space. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By measuring changes in the database of earthquake recordings. 9. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 10. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train AI algorithms. 11. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Dependable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Capable and affordable. D. Advanced and promising. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人工智能（AI）在地震预测方面显示出了希望，挑战了人们长期以来认为这是不可能的信念。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员开发了一种人工智能算法，在中国进行的一项试验中，该算法提前一周正确预测了70%的地震，并为预测的地震提供了准确的强度计算。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background sound in the Earth.(经过训练后，人工智能通过在地球的背景声音中收听即将到来的地震信号来提供预测。)”可知，人工智能通过监听地球背景声音中即将到来的地震迹象来进行预测，也就是通过分析地球的背景声音来预测地震。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中““You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the capability to notably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.”(“你看不到地震的到来，”领导德克萨斯地震网项目（TexNet）的高级研究科学家亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯解释说。“这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你准备得如何。即使准确率达到70%，这也是一个巨大的成果，可以帮助减少经济和人员损失，并有能力显著改善全球的地震准备工作。”)”可知，亚历山德罗斯·萨瓦伊迪斯提到即使只有 70% 的准确率，这也是一个巨大的成果，有助于减少经济和人员损失，并且有能力显著改善全球的地震预防工作。由此可知，他想表明开发人工智能预测的重要意义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with trustworthy earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas(虽然尚不清楚同样的方法是否会在其他地方起作用，但研究人员相信，如果在具有可靠地震跟踪网络的地区使用，他们的人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测。下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能。)”可知，虽然不知道同样的方法在其他地方是否有效，但研究人员希望在其他地方进行测试，下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，所以后续研究的重点是在不同的地方进行测试。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及最后一段“Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director.(最终，作者希望将该系统与基于物理的模型结合起来。在数据贫乏或缺乏的情况下，这种策略可能特别重要。“这可能还有很长的路要走，但许多像这样的进步，综合起来，是推动科学向前发展的动力，”该局局长斯科特·廷克（Scott Tinker）总结道。)”可知，文章介绍了人工智能在地震预测方面取得了进展，能够提前一周正确预测 70% 的地震，并且可以提供准确的强度计算，还提到这一成果有助于减少损失、改善全球地震预防工作，未来还有进一步发展的潜力，如与基于物理的模型相结合等。所以这种地震预测技术是先进的（Advanced）且有前途的（promising）。故选D项。 D The ability to remember and recognize a musical theme does not seem to be affected by age, unlike many other forms of memory. People with severe Alzheimer’s might not recognize faces, but can still sing the songs of their childhood, says Sarah Sauvé, a music scientist at the University of Lincoln. The effect of age on the ability to recall music has been investigated, but Sauvé was interested in exploring this effect in a real-world setting such as a concert. In her study, she tested how well a group of 90 healthy adults aged 18 to 86, were able to recognize familiar and unfamiliar musical themes at a live concert and another 31 people watched a recording of the concert in a laboratory. They listened to three pieces: a well-known Mozart piece and two new ones. One new piece had clear melodies (旋律), while the other was more unusual. Participants had to recognize a short melody repeated later in each piece. The melodic piece from Mozart was equally well recognized across all ages and musical backgrounds, with no loss of recognition as age increased. All participants were less confident in recognizing the theme in the new melodic piece, and even less confident with the unfamiliar and unusual piece, but this didn’t change with age either. The study also found no differences between concert-goers and lab participants. Steffen Herff, a cognitive (认知) neuroscientist at the University of Sydney, Australia, says the reason music memory stay strong might have to do with the emotions that music stirs in people, which helps it stick in our memory. “We know from general memory research that, effectively, the amygdala — or emotional processing — operates a little bit like an importance stamp,” he says. The study collected limited data on some participants’ cognitive health, and so did not provide detailed insights into how neurodegenerative (神经退行性的) diseases affect memory recall. But Herff says there is great interest in using music as a form of ‘cognitive scaffolding’ — that is, as a memory aid for other information — in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. 12. What does Sauvé’s study focus on? A. The role music plays in recognition tasks. B. The difference between live and recorded concerts. C. The ability to recognize unfamiliar musical themes. D. The impacts of aging on music recognition in real-life situations. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The design of the study. B. The reflection of the study. C. The results of Sauvé’s study. D. The background of the study. 14. What role does the amygdala play in memory, according to Steffen Herff? A. It helps with reasoning. B. It processes musical notes. C. It identifies emotions in people. D. It acts as a marker of importance. 15. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Music is of no use as a memory aid. B. More data is needed for further study. C. Music is useful for treating most diseases. D. The data on cognitive health is not objective. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了与许多其他形式的记忆不同，记忆和识别音乐主题的能力似乎不受年龄的影响。林肯大学的音乐科学家Sauvé说，患有严重阿尔茨海默氏症的人可能认不出面孔，但仍然可以唱他们童年的歌曲。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The effect of age on the ability to recall music has been investigated, but Sauvé was interested in exploring this effect in a real-world setting such as a concert. (年龄对回忆音乐能力的影响已经被研究过，但Sauvé更感兴趣的是在现实环境中探索这种影响，比如音乐会。)”可知，Sauvé的研究重点是在现实生活场景（如音乐会）中，年龄对音乐识别能力的影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In her study, she tested how well a group of 90 healthy adults aged 18 to 86, were able to recognize familiar and unfamiliar musical themes at a live concert and another 31 people watched a recording of the concert in a laboratory. They listened to three pieces: a well-known Mozart piece and two new ones. One new piece had clear melodies (旋律), while the other was more unusual. Participants had to recognize a short melody repeated later in each piece. (在她的研究中，她测试了90名年龄在18岁到86岁之间的健康成年人在现场音乐会中识别熟悉和不熟悉的音乐主题的能力，另外31人在实验室里观看了音乐会的录音。他们听了三首曲子：一首著名的莫扎特作品和两首新作品。一首新歌有清晰的旋律，而另一首则更不寻常。参与者必须辨认出随后在每首曲子中重复出现的一段短旋律。)”可知，第三段主要描述了Sauvé研究的具体操作过程，包括测试对象（90 名 18 - 86 岁的健康成年人以及另外 31 人）、测试方式（在现场音乐会和实验室观看音乐会录像）、测试内容（听三首曲子并识别重复旋律）等，这是研究的设计部分。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段Steffen Herff 所说的话“We know from general memory research that, effectively, the amygdala—or emotional processing—operates a little bit like an importance stamp. (我们从一般的记忆研究中知道，杏仁核——或情绪处理——实际上有点像一个重要的印记。)” 可知，杏仁核（情绪处理）有点像一个重要性印章，即它起着重要性标记的作用。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The study collected limited data on some participants’ cognitive health, and so did not provide detailed insights into how neurodegenerative (神经退行性的) diseases affect memory recall. But Herff says there is great interest in using music as a form of ‘cognitive scaffolding’—that is, as a memory aid for other information—in individuals with neurodegenerative conditions. (该研究收集了一些参与者认知健康的有限数据，因此没有提供神经退行性疾病如何影响记忆回忆的详细见解。但Herff说，人们对将音乐作为一种“认知支架”——也就是说，作为神经退行性疾病患者记忆其他信息的辅助手段——产生了极大的兴趣。)”最后一段提到研究收集的关于一些参与者认知健康的数据有限，没有提供关于神经退行性疾病如何影响记忆回忆的详细见解，这意味着需要更多数据进行进一步研究。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Quiet a Complainer(抱怨者) Have you ever suffered your mother’s complaints about her aches and pains? Lengthy complaints will ruin the quality of your time together. ____16____ Actually there are some ways to get a complainer to stop without starting an argument. Change the subject. Some complainers will switch topics if you shift the conversation in a direction that interests them. If your neighbor is complaining about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an old friend. If your coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. ____17____ Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you show that you’re listening. ____18____ Using “I” statements rather than “you” statements show that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the person down. Avoid saying the word complaining. Saying you hear their dissatisfaction gets the points across. Try to be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short. ____19____ You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you down – especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before. ____20____ When it’s someone very close to you–your partner, sibling, or best friend–who stresses you out with a lot of negativity, it’s important to talk about the problem with an open heart. Otherwise, if you bottle up your feelings and continue listening to repeated complaints, you may grow angry or start avoiding the person. A. Have a heart-to-heart talk. B. Challenge the person to act. C. But you may not be brave enough to stop her. D. Just get them off the focus that they’re currently on. E. The problems start when complaining becomes a habit. F.

It was a necklace with shining pearls. But the price, five dollars would buy almost a week’s groceries for his family. Reuben couldn’t ask his father for the money. Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother, Dora, who struggled to feed and clothe her five children. Nevertheless, he opened the shop’s door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour-sack shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “Once we went to New York, my mum saw a same one. I know she liked it very much, because she fixed her eyes on it. I will buy it for her. But I don’t have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?” “I’ll try,” the shop owner smiled. “People around here don’t usually have that kind of money to spend on such good-looking but costly things. It should keep for a while. ” Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out. He had made up his mind to raise the five dollars and not tell anybody. Hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben had an idea. He discovered that he could collect the hessian sacks (麻袋) thrown away in the street and sell them back for five cents a piece. Every day after school, Reuben walked down the town, collecting the hessian sacks. On the day when summer holiday began, no student was more delighted than Reuben. Now he would have more time for his “work”. All summer long, Reuben kept on his secret task. Soon the leaves fell and the winds blew cold. Reuben wandered in the streets, diligently searching for his hessian treasures. Often, he was cold, tired and hungry, but the thought of the object in the shop window supported him. Eventually, the time had come! It was Mothers’ Day. He poured the coins out and began to count. Then he counted again. He made it! Exactly five dollars, not a cent more, not a cent less. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Holding the money in hands tightly, Reuben headed for the shop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mother opened the box carefully, and a shining necklace appeared. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Holding the money in his hands tightly, he headed for the shop. “I’ve got the money!” Reuben declared to the shop owner. The man put the necklace into a delicate box, wrapped it in brown paper, and then placed the box in Reuben’s hands. Holding the box, Reuben’s eyes glittered with joy. After exchanging goodbyes with the shop owner, Reuben rushed home to surprise his mother. “Mom! It’s for you!” Reuben exclaimed as he ran to her side. He placed the box in her hand. Mother opened the box carefully, and a shining necklace appeared. She couldn’t believe her eyes. She took the pearl necklace out and cautiously put it on, tears of happiness beginning to blur her vision. Dora had never received such a precious gift. It was the best Mothers’ Day gift she had ever received. Yes, she was indeed not rich, but she was indeed happy. With tears rolling down her weather- beaten face, she smiled and scooped her son into her arms. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了小男孩鲁本看到商店橱窗里的一条珍珠项链，想买下来作为礼物送给妈妈。由于家里条件艰苦，小男孩决定自己筹钱来买礼物。他利用课余时间和暑假去街上捡拾废弃的麻袋，终于在母亲节那天凑齐了买项链的钱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他把钱紧紧地握在手里，向商店走去。”可知，第一段可描写鲁本买到项链，赶回家给妈妈惊喜，把盒子放在妈妈手里。 ②由第二段首句内容“母亲小心翼翼地打开盒子，一条闪闪发光的项链出现了。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈戴上项链，感觉非常幸福。 2.续写线索：赶到商店——购买项链——赶回家给妈妈惊喜——妈妈拿到项链——妈妈感觉幸福——妈妈拥抱鲁本 3词汇激活 行为类 ①说：declare/say ②放置：place/put ③赶回家：rush home/hurry home 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/happiness ②高兴的：happy/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】“Mom!
