Best Overall: LectroFan EVO Sound Machine
Why You Should Get It
This compact, stylish and affordable white noise machine is very easy to use. With a timer, a headphone connector and a large range of sounds, you’ll be able to find the right setup for you. That’s where it comes in to mask all that unwanted environmental noise, so you, can get more rest.
Keep in Mind
The device isn’t battery-operated, so it’ll need to stay plugged into a power source.
It does everything you need it to for a very reasonable price. It plays non-repeating digital noise in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds 10 environmental noise sounds — including pink and brown noise, and two ocean soundscapes.
The device is super simple to use, and once you’ve picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will automatically play that sound each time you turn it on. The speaker produces a clear and crisp sound, and there’s a wide volume range. It also comes with an optional timer you can set between one to eight hours, or play continuously, plus a 3.5 mm connector for headphones if your partner isn’t quite as keen on white noise as you are.
It’s compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and it looks pretty good, too. It certainly won’t look out of place on your bedside table. You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included A/C adaptor, but it doesn’t have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in, which could be a fault to somebody.

We all know Patti LaBelle as an iconic singer and performer, but what you might not know is that she is nearly as passionate about cooking as she is about music.
“From the time I was a little girl, I knew there were two things in this world I was born to do: sing and cook. I’ve spent my life developing my voice and my recipes, and to tell you the truth, I’m hard pressed to say where I’m happiest — in concert or in the kitchen.” Patti shared her stories in her first cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine.
For Patti, cooking is about love. Taught by the great Southern cooks in her family — her mother, father, and aunts Hattie Mae and Joshia Mae, Patti has kept these family treasures close to her heart. But now, she invites you into her kitchen and serves up more than 100 of her favorite recipes, from down-home favorites-Fierce Fried Corn and Aunt Hattie’s Sweet Tater Bread-to good-enough-for-dinner-parties dishes, such as Roast Leg of Lamb and Aunt Joshia’s Philadelphia Buttercake.
Wherever Patti goes, so do her electric frying pans and bottles of hot sauce. After her raise-the-roof shows, she often goes back to her hotel room and cooks a meal for her band or celebrity visitors. When she’s at holiday time or at family gatherings, Patti likes nothing more than to head for her kitchen. She expects that pleasure brought by satisfying cuisine will fill your heart just as her recipes will fill your stomach.
LaBelle Cuisine has the recipes you’ll want to cook, eat, and share with friends. Filled with the legendary singer’s favorite dishes and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare them, the book makes you feel like Patti’s in the kitchen with you, demonstrating the recipes and techniques that can turn anybody into a wonderful cook.

The U.N. weather agency is sounding a “red alert” about global warming, citing record-smashing increases last year in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice, and is warning that the world’s efforts to completely change the trend have been inadequate. The World Meteorological Organization said there is a high probability that 2024 will be another record-hot year.
The 12-month period from March 2023 to February 2024 pushed beyond that 1.5-degree limit, averaging 1.56℃(2.81°F)higher, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. It said the calendar year 2023 was just below 1.5℃ at 1.48℃(2.66℉), but a record hot start to this year pushed beyond that level for the 12-month average.
The latest WMO findings are especially severe when put together in a single report. In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once. Glaciers monitored since 1950 lost the most ice on record. Antarctic sea ice retreated to its lowest level ever. The impact of heat waves, floods, droughts, wildfires and tropical cyclones(旋风), worsened by climate change, was felt in livelihoods on every continent in 2023.
The report comes as climate experts and government ministers are to gather in the Danish capital, Copenhagen on Thursday and Friday to press for greater action, including increased national commitments to fight global warming.
“Each year the climate story gets worse; each year WMO officials and others announce that the latest report is a wake-up call to decision makers,” said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, a former British Columbia lawmaker. “Yet each year, once the 24-hour news cycle is over, far too many of our elected ‘leaders’ return to partisan bickering(党派争论)and advancing policies with demonstrable short-term outcomes,” he said. “More often than not everything else ends up taking priority over the advancement of climate policy. And so, nothing gets done.”
8. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. Presenting the findings of WMO. B. Reporting another record-hot year.
C. Warning of the coming natural disaster. D. Analyzing the cause of climate change.
9. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 2?
A. To indicate the red alert. B. To make a comparison.
C. To explain 1.5-degree limit. D. To present a reality.
10. What does the underlined phrase “press for” mean?
A. Push for. B. Search for.
C. Struggle for. D. Prepare for.
11. What can be inferred from Andrew Weaver’s words?
A. The elected leaders attach great importance to global warming.
B. He persuades the elected leaders to make climate policy.
C. The elected leaders don’t take climate policy seriously.
D. A great breakthrough has made with joint efforts.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要介绍了联合国气象机构关于全球变暖的“红色警报”,指出去年温室气体、陆地和水温以及冰川和海冰融化的记录创历史新高,并警告世界在完全改变这一趋势方面的努力不足。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The U.N. weather agency is sounding a “red alert” about global warming, citing record-smashing increases last year in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice, and is warning that the world’s efforts to completely change the trend have been inadequate. The World Meteorological Organization said there is a high probability that 2024 will be another record-hot year(联合国气象机构就全球变暖发出了“红色”预警,指出去年温室气体增加、陆地和水温上升以及冰川和海冰融化均创下了新记录,并警告说,全世界为彻底改变这一趋势所做的努力还不够。世界气象组织表示,2024年很有可能会是又一个破纪录的炎热年份)”以及最后一段““Each year the climate story gets worse; each year WMO officials and others announce that the latest report is a wake-up call to decision makers,” said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, a former British Columbia lawmaker. “Yet each year, once the 24-hour news cycle is over, far too many of our elected ‘leaders’ return to partisan bickering(党派争论)and advancing policies with demonstrable short-term outcomes,” he said. “More often than not everything else ends up taking priority over the advancement of climate policy. And so, nothing gets done.”(维多利亚大学气候科学家、前不列颠哥伦比亚省立法者安德鲁·韦弗(Andrew Weaver)表示:“每年气候情况都变得更糟;每年世界气象组织(WMO)的官员和其他人士都会宣布,最新的报告是对决策者们的一记警钟。然而,每年一旦24小时的新闻周期结束,我们太多民选的‘领导人’就回到党派争论和推行有明显短期效果的政策上。更多的时候,其他所有事情的优先级都高于推进气候政策。因此,什么也做不成。”)”可知,本文主要介绍了联合国气象机构关于全球变暖的“红色警报”,指出去年的相关数据创历史新高,且世界在改变这一趋势方面的努力不足,可推理出本文的目的是报道另一创纪录的高温年,故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The 12-month period from March 2023 to February 2024 pushed beyond that 1.5-degree limit, averaging 1.56℃(2.81°F)higher, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. It said the calendar year 2023 was just below 1.5℃ at 1.48℃(2.66℉), but a record hot start to this year pushed beyond that level for the 12-month average (欧盟哥白尼气候变化服务局表示,从2023年3月到2024年2月的12个月期间,气温超过了1.5摄氏度的限制,平均气温高出1.56摄氏度(2.81华氏度)。该机构称,2023年全年的平均气温为1.48摄氏度(2.66华氏度),略低于1.5摄氏度,但今年创纪录的高温开局将12个月的平均水平推高到了这一水平之上)”可知,该段具体阐述了2023年3月至2024年2月这12个月的平均气温以及2023年全年的平均气温,这些数据都是为了支撑第一段中提到的联合国气象机构的“红色警报”,即表明全球变暖的严峻形势,发出红色警报,故选A项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段“The report comes as climate experts and government ministers are to gather in the Danish capital, Copenhagen on Thursday and Friday to … greater action, including increased national commitments to fight global warming(这份报告发布之际,气候专家和政府部长们将于周四和周五齐聚丹麦首都哥本哈根,……采取更有力的行动,包括加大各国对抗全球变暖的承诺)”可知,气候专家和政府部长们将于周四和周五在丹麦首都哥本哈根举行会议,目的是推动采取更有力的行动,包括加大对应对全球变暖的国家承诺。可推理出“press for”在此处表示“推动,力争”,与“Push for”意思相近,故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Yet each year, once the 24-hour news cycle is over, far too many of our elected ‘leaders’ return to partisan bickering(党派争论)and advancing policies with demonstrable short-term outcomes (然而,每年一旦24小时的新闻周期结束,我们太多民选的“领导人”便回到党派纷争中,去推行那些有明显短期效果的政策)”可知,每年一旦24小时的新闻周期结束,太多的当选“领导人”又回到党派争论中,推行那些明显具有短期效果的政策,由此可推断出,当选的领导人并没有认真对待气候政策,故选C项。
D
As Michael Jackson once famously sang: “I used to say ‘I’ and ‘me’. Now it’s ‘us’, now its ‘we’.” We know he was singing about a rat who was changing the way to talk with other rats-but if you find yourself making this same language choice when talking with your partner, it could be a sign that your relationship is getting better.
A team of researchers at Concordia University, Quebec, undertook a study to test the hypothesis (假设) that “we-talk”—the use of first-person plural pronouns like “us” and “we”—would be associated with greater harmony in relationship. The researchers thought that there could be a benefit associated with thinking of oneself and one’s partner as a team, which can be demonstrated by a tendency towards the use of plural pronouns.
The study included 77 couples, and all of them had to be legal guardians to a child under the age of 7. Some couples conducted short discussions by using first-person plural pronouns while some other couples not using “we-talk” could interact with their partner in whatever way they wanted. These discussions centered around the experience of raising their child with their partner. Experimenters watched on from another room.
After the discussions, the couples were asked to complete a marriage satisfaction rating questionnaire. Records of the couples’ conversations were run through a text analysis program to measure the use of plural versus singular pronouns. The results showed that the use of “we-talk” was associated with a change in marriage satisfaction and could beef up the relationship of the couples.
However, there are some clear limitations to this study, most obviously that only couples were included—the results may not be generalizable to a wider population. Anyway, these results represent an interesting piece of a complex puzzle. The researchers note several areas for further research, and ultimately conclude that “the present work demonstrates that we-talk may serve as an observable indicator of relationship satisfaction stability overtime”.
12. Why is Michael Jackson mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To compare singing with talking. B. To show the effect of popular songs.
C. To lead in the topic of language style. D. To prove Michael Jackson is legendary.
13. What do the researchers want to find out in the study?
A. The best way to raise a child. B. The effect of using “we-talk”.
C. The reason of family conflicts. D. The measure of using plural pronouns.
14. What does the underlined word “beef up” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Enhance. B. Alleviate. C. Evaluate. D. Justify.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the present study?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Skeptical. D. Objective.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述研究表明使用we-talk更有可能加强双方的关系。但这项研究也有一些明显的局限性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段开头叙述“As Michael Jackson once famously sang: “I used to say ‘I’ and ‘me’. Now it’s ‘us’, now its ‘we’.” (正如迈克尔·杰克逊曾经唱过的著名歌曲:“我过去常说‘I’和‘me’。现在是‘us’,现在是‘we’。”)”和后文引出话题“but if you find yourself making this same language choice when talking with your partner, it could be a sign that your relationship is getting better.(但如果你发现自己在与同伴交谈时做出了同样的语言选择,这可能表明你们的关系正在变好。)”可推断,首段提及迈克尔·杰克逊是为了引出文章话题。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段实验过程“Some couples conducted short discussions by using first-person plural pronouns while some other couples not using “we-talk” could interact with their partner in whatever way they wanted.(一些夫妇用第一人称复数代词进行简短的讨论,而另一些夫妇不使用“we-talk”,可以用他们想要的任何方式与他们的伴侣互动。)”和第四段“After the discussions, the couples were asked to complete a marriage satisfaction rating questionnaire.(讨论结束后,这些夫妇被要求完成一份婚姻满意度调查问卷。)”和“The results showed that the use of “we-talk” was associated with a change in marriage satisfaction and could beef up the relationship of the couples. (结果显示,we-talk的使用与婚姻满意度的变化有关,可以加强夫妻之间的关系。)”可知,在这个研究过程中研究者们想看到使用we-talk的效果。故选B。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。文章首段提出话题,与同伴交谈时选择用we-talk可能表明你们的关系正变好。再根据划线词前半句“The results showed that the use of “we-talk” was associated with a change in marriage satisfaction(结果显示,we-talk的使用与婚姻满意度的变化有关)”可知,研究结果表明,夫妇使用we-talk提高婚姻满意度,并可以加强双方的关系。所以beef up为“加强”之意。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, there are some clear limitations to this study, most obviously that only couples were included—the results may not be generalizable to a wider population. Anyway, these results represent an interesting piece of a complex puzzle. The researchers note several areas for further research, and ultimately conclude that “the present work demonstrates that we-talk may serve as an observable indicator of relationship satisfaction stability overtime”. (然而,这项研究有一些明显的局限性,最明显的是只包括夫妇,结果可能不能推广到更广泛的人群。无论如何,这些结果代表了一个复杂谜题的有趣部分。研究人员指出了几个有待进一步研究的领域,并最终得出结论:“目前的研究表明,we-talk可能是关系满意度稳定的一个可观察指标。”)”可知,第一句转折后讲这项研究有一些明显的局限性,其结果可能无法推广到更广泛的人群中。最后一句又讲到研究人员最终得出结论,目前的工作表明,“we-talk”可以作为一种可观察的指标,关系满意度的稳定性。由此推断,作者对于目前研究的态度是客观的。故选D。

(请将它与你的年度会员费一同放入随附的信封中寄回,然后立即开始享受你的会员福利)”可知,这里需要一个句子来介绍加入Friends的方式。选项C“Simply complete the membership form (只需填写会员表格)”直接告诉读者如何加入Friends,且C选项中的the membership form与下文的it相对应,符合题意。故选C。

【36题详解】

【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一位教授解释说:“在中国,歌剧是一门需要终身奉献的艺术,演出的效果很大程度上取决于演员的内心力量和演技。”名词art与动词require之间为逻辑上的主动关系,所以用现在分词作后置定语。故填requiring。

【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为文化纽带,索米尔希望中法两国能以高质量的节目给对方留下深刻印象。impress sb. with sth. 表示“某物给某人留下印象,用某事物给某人留下深刻印象”。故填with。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Anika pulled her wheeled suitcase behind her, following her parents through the airport. It would be her first time on an airplane. She was very excited and somewhat nervous as well. She hugged her favorite doll tightly. That made her feel better.
She boarded the plane and walked down the narrow aisle to find her seat with her parents. A flight attendant smiled at her and asked where they were going. “Walt Disney World,” Anika responded with a smile.
“You will have a wonderful time.” The attendant pointed to her name tag. “I’m Leanne. You let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.”
“Thanks. I’m Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her. Leanne stroked Pansy and left to attend to other passengers.
The flight was going to be quite a long time. Anika read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting sort of tired. Anika’s mom suggested her taking a nap.
They asked Leanne for a blanket. “It should keep you warm and cozy,” Leanne said. “Night-night!” She winked at the young girl. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket with her. Soon, she fell asleep against her father’s shoulder.
The plane touched down in Florida and Anika was woken up. Her parents collected the luggage and headed to the exit. Anika followed, not quite awake yet. At the door, Leanne waved them goodbye.
All passengers had left and Leanne began to gather blankets from the seats. Under one blanket, she was surprised to find a doll. She picked it up and recognized it was Pansy. She thought about catching up with the family, but soon she dismissed the idea, for it was too late. She just hoped to connect with the little girl again in some way. Then she put away Pansy for safe keeping.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When the family arrived at the hotel, Anika suddenly remembered Pansy.

They boarded the plane and Anika was surprised to see Leanne again.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
When the family arrived at the hotel, Anika suddenly remembered Pansy. She emptied her suitcase and checked every corner of the room, but the doll was nowhere to be found. “Oh no! I must have left her on the plane,” she said with tears in her eyes. Her parents called the airline immediately, but they were told that the plane had already departed for another flight. Anika felt sad, wondering if she would ever see the doll that had been with her with so many memories again.
They boarded the plane and Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. As she settled into her seat, Leanne walked over with a warm smile. “Guess who’s been waiting for you,” she said, pulling out Pansy from behind her back. Anika gasped and grabbed the doll tightly. “I kept her safe because I knew you’d come back,” Leanne explained. Anika thanked her happily, feeling glad that the kind flight attendant had remembered her and the doll that meant so much to her.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Anika第一次坐飞机,与父母在飞机上受到乘务员Leanne的照顾。下飞机后,Leanne发现Anika落下的玩偶Pansy,因来不及追赶,只能暂时保管,希望日后能再见到Anika。
【详解】1.段落续写
① 由第一段句首内容“当一家人抵达酒店时,Anika突然想起了Pansy。”可知,第一段可描写Anika发现玩偶丢失后的焦急举动,与父母联系航空公司的结果,以及她因担心而难过的心理。
② 由第二段句首内容“他们登上了飞机,Anika再次见到Leanne时很惊讶。”可知,第二段可描写Anika重逢Leanne时的意外,Leanne主动归还玩偶的举动,两人的对话及情感交流,最后通过Anika的感受升华主题:善良的陌生人带来的温暖。
2.续写线索:到达酒店发现玩偶丢失——焦急寻找未果——联系航空公司得知飞机已起飞——返程登机偶遇Leanne——Leanne归还玩偶——Anika感激温暖
3.词汇激活

Best Overall: LectroFan EVO Sound Machine
Why You Should Get It
This compact, stylish and affordable white noise machine is very easy to use. With a timer, a headphone connector and a large range of sounds, you’ll be able to find the right setup for you. That’s where it comes in to mask all that unwanted environmental noise, so you, can get more rest.
Keep in Mind
The device isn’t battery-operated, so it’ll need to stay plugged into a power source.
It does everything you need it to for a very reasonable price. It plays non-repeating digital noise in a range of colors: It has 10 fan sounds, 10 environmental noise sounds — including pink and brown noise, and two ocean soundscapes.
The device is super simple to use, and once you’ve picked your favorite type of noise, it will be saved in the settings, and the machine will automatically play that sound each time you turn it on. The speaker produces a clear and crisp sound, and there’s a wide volume range. It also comes with an optional timer you can set between one to eight hours, or play continuously, plus a 3.5 mm connector for headphones if your partner isn’t quite as keen on white noise as you are.
It’s compact enough to travel everywhere with you, and it looks pretty good, too. It certainly won’t look out of place on your bedside table. You can power the LectroFan EVO via USB or the included A/C adaptor, but it doesn’t have an internal battery, so it does need to be plugged in, which could be a fault to somebody.
Price at time of publishing: $35
Product Details:
Dimensions; It’s 4.7 inches long and 3.3 inches in height. Its width is the same as its length.
Sound options: 22
Timer: Yes

1. What is the device used for?
A Providing power. B. Recording nature.
C. Helping sleep well. D. Editing music.
2. What might be a disadvantage of the device?
A. It has poor sound quality. B. It has limited sound options.
C. It is too large to carry around. D. It must remain plugged into a power source.
3. What is the size of the device?
A. 4.7×4.7×3.3 in. B. 4.7×3.3×3.3 in.
C. 4.7×4.7×3.5 in. D. 3.3×3.3×2.5 in.

We all know Patti LaBelle as an iconic singer and performer, but what you might not know is that she is nearly as passionate about cooking as she is about music.
“From the time I was a little girl, I knew there were two things in this world I was born to do: sing and cook. I’ve spent my life developing my voice and my recipes, and to tell you the truth, I’m hard pressed to say where I’m happiest — in concert or in the kitchen.” Patti shared her stories in her first cookbook, LaBelle Cuisine.
For Patti, cooking is about love. Taught by the great Southern cooks in her family — her mother, father, and aunts Hattie Mae and Joshia Mae, Patti has kept these family treasures close to her heart. But now, she invites you into her kitchen and serves up more than 100 of her favorite recipes, from down-home favorites-Fierce Fried Corn and Aunt Hattie’s Sweet Tater Bread-to good-enough-for-dinner-parties dishes, such as Roast Leg of Lamb and Aunt Joshia’s Philadelphia Buttercake.
Wherever Patti goes, so do her electric frying pans and bottles of hot sauce. After her raise-the-roof shows, she often goes back to her hotel room and cooks a meal for her band or celebrity visitors. When she’s at holiday time or at family gatherings, Patti likes nothing more than to head for her kitchen. She expects that pleasure brought by satisfying cuisine will fill your heart just as her recipes will fill your stomach.
LaBelle Cuisine has the recipes you’ll want to cook, eat, and share with friends. Filled with the legendary singer’s favorite dishes and step-by-step instructions on how to prepare them, the book makes you feel like Patti’s in the kitchen with you, demonstrating the recipes and techniques that can turn anybody into a wonderful cook.
4. How does Patti LaBelle describe her feeling about cooking compared to singing?

The U.N. weather agency is sounding a “red alert” about global warming, citing record-smashing increases last year in greenhouse gases, land and water temperatures and melting of glaciers and sea ice, and is warning that the world’s efforts to completely change the trend have been inadequate. The World Meteorological Organization said there is a high probability that 2024 will be another record-hot year.
The 12-month period from March 2023 to February 2024 pushed beyond that 1.5-degree limit, averaging 1.56℃(2.81°F)higher, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service. It said the calendar year 2023 was just below 1.5℃ at 1.48℃(2.66℉), but a record hot start to this year pushed beyond that level for the 12-month average.
The latest WMO findings are especially severe when put together in a single report. In 2023, over 90% of ocean waters experienced heat wave conditions at least once. Glaciers monitored since 1950 lost the most ice on record. Antarctic sea ice retreated to its lowest level ever. The impact of heat waves, floods, droughts, wildfires and tropical cyclones(旋风), worsened by climate change, was felt in livelihoods on every continent in 2023.
The report comes as climate experts and government ministers are to gather in the Danish capital, Copenhagen on Thursday and Friday to press for greater action, including increased national commitments to fight global warming.
“Each year the climate story gets worse; each year WMO officials and others announce that the latest report is a wake-up call to decision makers,” said University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, a former British Columbia lawmaker. “Yet each year, once the 24-hour news cycle is over, far too many of our elected ‘leaders’ return to partisan bickering(党派争论)and advancing policies with demonstrable short-term outcomes,” he said. “More often than not everything else ends up taking priority over the advancement of climate policy. And so, nothing gets done.”
8. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. Presenting the findings of WMO. B. Reporting another record-hot year.
C. Warning of the coming natural disaster. D. Analyzing the cause of climate change.
9. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 2?
A. To indicate the red alert. B. To make a comparison.
C. To explain 1.5-degree limit. D. To present a reality.
10. What does the underlined phrase “press for” mean?
A. Push for. B. Search for.
C Struggle for. D. Prepare for.
11. What can be inferred from Andrew Weaver’s words?
A. The elected leaders attach great importance to global warming.
B. He persuades the elected leaders to make climate policy.
C. The elected leaders don’t take climate policy seriously.
D. A great breakthrough has made with joint efforts.
D
As Michael Jackson once famously sang: “I used to say ‘I’ and ‘me’. Now it’s ‘us’, now its ‘we’.” We know he was singing about a rat who was changing the way to talk with other rats-but if you find yourself making this same language choice when talking with your partner, it could be a sign that your relationship is getting better.
A team of researchers at Concordia University, Quebec, undertook a study to test the hypothesis (假设) that “we-talk”—the use of first-person plural pronouns like “us” and “we”—would be associated with greater harmony in relationship. The researchers thought that there could be a benefit associated with thinking of oneself and one’s partner as a team, which can be demonstrated by a tendency towards the use of plural pronouns.
The study included 77 couples, and all of them had to be legal guardians to a child under the age of 7. Some couples conducted short discussions by using first-person plural pronouns while some other couples not using “we-talk” could interact with their partner in whatever way they wanted. These discussions centered around the experience of raising their child with their partner. Experimenters watched on from another room.
After the discussions, the couples were asked to complete a marriage satisfaction rating questionnaire. Records of the couples’ conversations were run through a text analysis program to measure the use of plural versus singular pronouns. The results showed that the use of “we-talk” was associated with a change in marriage satisfaction and could beef up the relationship of the couples.
However, there are some clear limitations to this study, most obviously that only couples were included—the results may not be generalizable to a wider population. Anyway, these results represent an interesting piece of a complex puzzle. The researchers note several areas for further research, and ultimately conclude that “the present work demonstrates that we-talk may serve as an observable indicator of relationship satisfaction stability overtime”.
12. Why is Michael Jackson mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To compare singing with talking. B. To show the effect of popular songs.
C. To lead in the topic of language style. D. To prove Michael Jackson is legendary.
13. What do the researchers want to find out in the study?
A. The best way to raise a child. B. The effect of using “we-talk”.
C. The reason of family conflicts. D. The measure of using plural pronouns.
14. What does the underlined word “beef up” mean in paragraph 4?
A. Enhance. B. Alleviate. C. Evaluate. D. Justify.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward the present study?
A. Supportive. B. Negative. C. Skeptical. D. Objective.

Anika pulled her wheeled suitcase behind her, following her parents through the airport. It would be her first time on an airplane. She was very excited and somewhat nervous as well. She hugged her favorite doll tightly. That made her feel better.
She boarded the plane and walked down the narrow aisle to find her seat with her parents. A flight attendant smiled at her and asked where they were going. “Walt Disney World,” Anika responded with a smile.
“You will have a wonderful time.” The attendant pointed to her name tag. “I’m Leanne. You let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.”
“Thanks. I’m Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her. Leanne stroked Pansy and left to attend to other passengers.
The flight was going to be quite a long time. Anika read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting sort of tired. Anika’s mom suggested her taking a nap.
They asked Leanne for a blanket. “It should keep you warm and cozy,” Leanne said. “Night-night!” She winked at the young girl. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket with her. Soon, she fell asleep against her father’s shoulder.
The plane touched down in Florida and Anika was woken up. Her parents collected the luggage and headed to the exit. Anika followed, not quite awake yet. At the door, Leanne waved them goodbye.
All passengers had left and Leanne began to gather blankets from the seats. Under one blanket, she was surprised to find a doll. She picked it up and recognized it was Pansy. She thought about catching up with the family, but soon she dismissed the idea, for it was too late. She just hoped to connect with the little girl again in some way. Then she put away Pansy for safe keeping.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
