In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. It was discovered both by an Englishman and an American in the same year, but it was the American who first developed it on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because it was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic collars. These plastic collars were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily, and when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What’s worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down so it causes serious pollution. We now use the term white pollution to refer to plastic pollution. 第II卷 选择题（满分90分） 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分52.5分） 第一节 单项填空（共15小题；每小题1.5分，满分22.5分） 从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 16. —You’ve been watching TV too long.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了澳大利亚动物园的 “一日饲养员”项目，让青少年体验野生动物保护工作，亲近动物并学习环保知识。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The program offers the chance for 11—15 year olds to see first-hand what’s involved in looking after amazing wildlife at Australia Zoo. (该项目为11-15岁的孩子提供了一个机会，让他们亲眼看到在澳大利亚动物园照顾神奇的野生动物是怎么做的。)”可知，这一项目是为11-15岁的学生设计的。故选B。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“During the guided adventures, you’ll gain an understanding and appreciation of what’s involved in working in one of the world’s most popular zoological and conservation areas (在导游的带领下，您将了解和欣赏在世界上最受欢迎的动物和保护区之一工作所涉及的内容)”可知，这一项目的主要目的是了解和欣赏在这一保护区工作所涉及的内容，即体验真正的动物园管理员的生活。故选C。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After a busy morning getting up close with wildlife, you can enjoy a specially provided lunch while watching the performance in the world-famous Crocoseum. Then you’ll also receive a guided behind-the-scenes tour of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. (在忙碌的一上午与野生动物近距离接触后，您可以一边享受特别提供的午餐，一边观看世界闻名的鳄鱼馆的表演。然后，您还将在导游的带领下参观澳大利亚动物园野生动物医院的幕后。)”可知，在澳大利亚动物园忙碌了一上午之后你会在导游的带领下参观澳大利亚动物园野生动物医院的幕后。即参观澳大利亚动物园野生动物医院。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后三段“* Open daily 9: 00 am—5: 00 pm * Bedtime for some of our animals is 4: 30 pm. * Closed Christmas Day (每日上午九时至下午五时开放；我们的一些动物的就寝时间是下午4:30。圣诞节休馆)”可知，动物园上午九点至下午五点开放，因此去看爬行动物的最佳时间是不能早于上午9点，不晚于下午五点，圣诞节休馆，选项D中上午10时至下午3时（圣诞节除外）在开馆时间。故选D。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后三段“* Open daily 9: 00 am—5: 00 pm* Bedtime for some of our animals is 4: 30 pm. * Closed Christmas Day (每日上午九时至下午五时开放；我们的一些动物的就寝时间是下午4:30。圣诞节休馆)”可知，动物园上午九点至下午五点开放，但是在圣诞节那天闭馆。由此可知，这个项目在圣诞节当天并不开馆，即并不总是开放的。故选A。 B A young family who has never camped in their life have sold everything they own to start a tour of Europe in a motorhome. Cheryl, 33 and Jason, 28, sold their house, quit their jobs and ditched a normal life for a year on the road. With their eldest daughter Flora, five, just a year away from starting school, the couple decided it was time to go on a family adventure across the continent. Cheryl teaches Flora while they travel to prepare her for school next year. The family, which also include their four-year-old daughter Elsie, son Archie and dogs Poppy and Angus, have been on the road for a period. Cheryl said, “Nobody would describe us as typical travelers. We’d never even been camping before. We talked for a long time about wanting to see different parts of the world, but we never actually thought we were actually going to. Our eldest child is due to start school this August, so we put it off by one year. We thought, ‘if we don’t do it this year, we may never will.’ My mom and dad died this year and after that I started to feel life is too short. We thought there must be more to life than working, caring and sleeping every day.” The mom-of-three still can’t quite believe they’re actually doing it. She said, “We decided it at the end of June, sold our house in July, and then when August came around we bought the motor house and set off.” Despite being anxious at first, with the family sometimes quarreling, Cheryl thinks the trip has helped strengthen family bonds. She said, “If we have an argument there is nowhere to hide. You can’t go into your room and be angry. It means it has to be dealt with there and then, and it taught us to be more open with each other as a family. Every day is quality family time. We couldn’t get that if we were back home with work, school and nursery.” 56. What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. gave up. B. enjoyed. C. experienced. D. got tired of. 57. What does Cheryl think of the travel? A. It is too short. B. It is too expensive. C. It is filled with quarrels. D. It is worthwhile. 58. What can be learned about Cheryl and Jason’s decision-making process for the trip? A. They made the decision slowly and carefully over a long time. B. Their decision was mainly influenced by their children’s school-going situation. C. The death of Cheryl’s parents had no impact on their decision. D. They decided to start the trip as soon as they had the idea. 59. What is the purpose of the family trip? A. To honor Cheryl’s parents. B. To experience more about life. C. To prepare the kids for school. D. To give Jason a break from work. 60. What can we infer about the family? A. They’re actually typical traveler. B. They have spent years preparing for the travel. C. They become closer as family members. D. They will hide away from each other when an argument happens. 【答案】56. A 57. D 58. B 59. B 60. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Cheryl和Jason卖掉房子，辞掉工作，抛弃了自己正常的生活，选择在旅途中度过一年。文章介绍了他们对于这次旅行的目的、准备以及收获等。 【56题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“A young family who has never camped in their life have sold everything they own to start a tour of Europe in a motorhome. Cheryl, 33 and Jason, 28, sold their house, quit their jobs and ditched a normal life for a year on the road. (一个从未露营过的年轻家庭卖掉了他们所有的东西，开着房车开始了欧洲之旅。33岁的Cheryl和28岁的Jason卖掉了房子，辞掉了工作，ditched一年的正常生活，去旅行)”可知，33岁的Cheryl和28岁的Jason卖掉了房子，辞掉了工作，说明他们放弃了原来的正常生活，故划线词意思是“放弃（gave up）”。故选A项。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite being anxious at first, with the family sometimes quarreling, Cheryl thinks the trip has helped strengthen family bonds. (尽管起初很焦虑，家人有时会吵架，但Cheryl认为这次旅行有助于加强家庭关系)”和“Every day is quality family time. We couldn’t get that if we were back home with work, school and nursery. (每一天都是优质的家庭时光。如果我们回家工作、上学和上幼儿园，我们就无法做到这一点)”可知，Cheryl提到尽管旅行中有争吵，但家庭关系更紧密，每天都是高质量的亲子时光，说明她认为旅行是值得的。故选D项。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段中“With their eldest daughter Flora, five, just a year away from starting school, the couple decided it was time to go on a family adventure across the continent. (他们五岁的大女儿弗洛拉距离上学只有一年的时间，这对夫妇决定是时候去欧洲大陆进行一次家庭冒险了)”和第三段中“Our eldest child is due to start school this August, so we put it off by one year. We thought, ‘if we don’t do it this year, we may never will.’(我们的大女儿将于今年八月开始上学，所以我们推迟了一年。我们想，‘如果我们今年不这样做，我们可能永远也不会去)”可知，大女儿今年即将入学，他们觉得今年不进行家庭旅行，以后很难有这个机会了，所以大女儿推迟一年上学去家庭旅行，可得出Cheryl和Jason这次旅行的决策过程主要受孩子上学情况的影响。故选B项。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We talked for a long time about wanting to see different parts of the world, but we never actually thought we were actually going to. (我们谈了很长时间，想看看世界上不同的地方，但我们从来没有想过我们真的会去)”和“We thought there must be more to life than working, caring and sleeping every day. (我们认为生活中一定有比每天工作、照顾和睡觉更多的东西)”可知，Cheryl认为生活不应只有工作、照料和睡觉，想看看世界上不同的地方，于她而言，家庭旅行是为了去体验更多的生活。故选B项。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite being anxious at first, with the family sometimes quarreling, Cheryl thinks the trip has helped strengthen family bonds. (尽管一开始很焦虑，家人有时会争吵，但Cheryl认为这次旅行有助于加强家庭关系)”可推知，这家人作为家庭成员变得更加亲密。故选C项。 C That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 61. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people. B. What role it has played in evolution. C. What circumstances may trigger it. D. In what way it can be beneficial 62. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research? A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins D. She conducted studies on birds' and dolphins' sleeping patterns 63. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment? A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment. B. She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains. D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects. 64. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment? A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli. D. She compared the responses of different participants. 65. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment? A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat. C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps. D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones. 【答案】61. D 62. C 63. A 64. C 65. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了首夜效应的现象、起源及科学家的相关研究。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day.(令人困惑的是，当第二天的性能可能受到影响时，它将从中获得什么好处)”可知，研究者困惑于首夜效应有何益处。故选D。 【62题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing.(她还从之前对鸟类和海豚的研究中了解到，这些动物一次让一半的大脑进入睡眠状态，这样它们就可以休息，同时保持足够的警觉以躲避捕食者。这让她怀疑人们是否也在做同样的事情)”可知，Dr. Yuka Sasaki从之前关于鸟类和海豚的研究中得到了一些启发。故选C。 【63题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains.(为了进一步研究，她的团队研究了35名健康的人，他们在大学心理科学系的陌生环境中睡觉。每个参与者都在该部门睡了两个晚上，并通过观察他们大脑活动的技术对他们进行了仔细的监测)”可知，她监测了在新环境中睡觉的参与者的大脑活动。故选A项。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night.(出于好奇，Sasaki博士的左脑半球是否真的保持清醒，以处理在周围环境中检测到的信息，他重新进行了实验，同时在夜间向睡眠的参与者播放定时的同一音调的哔哔声和不同音调的不规则哔哔声)”可知，Sasaki博士在重新进行实验时，给睡眠中的参与者同时呈现了两种不同的刺激——规律性的蜂鸣声和不规律性的蜂鸣声。故选C。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.(她推断出，如果左脑半球在陌生的环境中保持警觉以守卫，那么它会对不规则的蜂鸣声作出反应，把人们从睡梦中惊醒，而忽略那些规律性的蜂鸣声。这正是她所发现的现象)”可知，Sasaki博士发现参与者在听到不规律性的蜂鸣声时会被唤醒，这表明他们倾向于将不规律性的蜂鸣声视为威胁。故选B。 第III卷 非选择题 （满分30分） 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） When Tsinghua University’s new freshmen arrived on campus last August, the first question they were faced with at the registration desk was “Did you come alone or with your parents?” According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. In a letter to freshmen this year, Chen Jining, the president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet.” To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At Zhejiang University, a banner (横幅) hanging in the information center says “Parents let go please; let us guide your children.” Lu Guodong, dean (系主任) of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University, coined the slogan. “The slogan is for parents. Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes children never grow up,” said Lu. A girl arrived at the railway station with her luggage and looked around for her university’s welcome team. She was Jin Hongting, 19, from Hebei province and would study industry business administration at Beijing Union University. When asked why she came alone, Jin said: “There’s no need to bother my parents to come with me. It only takes four hours from my hometown to Beijing.” Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure (使放心) parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asked senior students to go back to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently. 66. What will parents do when students register and find their dormitory by themselves at Tsinghua? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________ 67. What does the underlined “coined” mean in Para.2? (1 word) __________________________________________________________________ 68. Why do parents always do things for their children according to Lu Guodong? (no more than 8 words) __________________________________________________________________ 69. To reassure parents, what method did Renmin University of China introduce? (no more than 13 words) __________________________________________________________________ 70. Will you go to college alone after you graduate from high school? Why? (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________ 【答案】66. They will be shown around the campus by volunteers./They will take a tour of the campus. 67. Invented/Created 68. Because they think children never grow up.或Because in their eyes, children never grow up. 69. It asked senior students to return to their hometown and accompany freshmen back. 70. Yes, I will. Because it’s a great opportunity for me to learn to grow up and to be independent. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了各大高校采取各种方法鼓励新生独立自主。 【66题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. (例如，在清华大学，新生需要自己注册和找到宿舍。这个过程需要两到三个小时，在此期间，志愿者会带家长参观校园。)”可知，当学生在清华大学自己注册和找宿舍时，家长会由志愿者带领参观校园。故答案是：They will be shown around the campus by volunteers./They will take a tour of the campus.。 【67题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据上文“To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. (为了帮助新生成长，一些大学想出了新方法。)”和下文““The slogan is for parents. Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes children never grow up,” said Lu. (陆国栋表示：“这一口号是面向家长的。家长们往往喜欢为孩子做事或做决定。在他们眼中，孩子永远长不大。”)”可知，这个口号是浙江大学本科研究学院院长陆国栋创造或发明的，所以“coined”的意思是“invented/created”。故答案是：Invented/Created。 【68题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“The slogan is for parents. Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes children never grow up. (这个口号是给家长的。家长往往喜欢为孩子做事或做决定。在他们眼里，孩子永远不会长大。)”可知，父母总是为他们的孩子做事是因为他们认为孩子永远不会长大。故答案是：Because they think children never grow up.或Because in their eyes, children never grow up.。 【69题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“To reassure (使放心) parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asked senior students to go back to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. (为了让家长放心，中国人民大学引入了一种新方法。它要求老生回到他们的家乡，陪同新生回到校园。)”可知，为了让家长放心，中国人民大学采取的方法是让老生回到他们的家乡，陪同新生回到校园。故答案是：It asked senior students to return to their hometown and accompany freshmen back.。 【70题详解】 考查开放性试题。本题是开放性题目，只要答案符合题目要求，言之有理即可。参考答案是“Yes, I will. Because it’s a great opportunity for me to learn to grow up and to be independent. (是的，我会。因为这是我学习成长和独立的好机会。)”。故答案是：Yes, I will. Because it’s a great opportunity for me to learn to grow up and to be independent.（答案不唯一）。 第二节 书面表达（满分20分） 71. 目前越来越多的中学生在教室使用扫描翻译笔（Scanning Translation Pen）。你校英文报正在举行征文活动，鼓励学生针对这一问题进行讨论。请你写一篇文章投稿，内容包括： 1. 说明使用扫描翻译笔的利弊； 2. 提出相关建议。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The Pros and Cons of Using Scanning Translation Pens in Classrooms _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The Pros and Cons of Using Scanning Translation Pens in Classrooms In recent years, many students have been using scanning translation pens in classrooms, and this trend has generated mixed opinions. On the one hand, scanning translation pens can greatly enhance learning. They allow students to quickly translate unfamiliar words and phrases, helping them understand the material better and improving their language skills. This technology also promotes independent learning, as students can explore new vocabulary at their own pace. On the other hand, over-reliance on these devices may hinder students’ abilities to learn languages effectively. They risk becoming dependent on technology rather than developing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. To balance the pros and cons, schools should encourage students to use scanning pens as a supplementary tool, while also emphasizing the importance of traditional language learning methods. This approach will help students gain a deeper understanding of the language. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生就越来越多的中学生在教室使用扫描翻译笔一事写篇文章向校英文报投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 使用：use → employ 强调：emphasize → stress 重要性：importance → significance 方法：approach → method 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：They allow students to quickly translate unfamiliar words and phrases, helping them understand the material better and improving their language skills. 拓展句：They allow students to quickly translate unfamiliar words and phrases, which will help them understand the material better and improving their language skills. 【点睛】【高分句型1】This technology also promotes independent learning, as students can explore new vocabulary at their own pace.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】On the one hand, scanning translation pens can greatly enhance learning.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的AB、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你将有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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。The rain has stopped, but it's really cold today.

In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago. IT was discovered both by an englishman and in american in the same year. But IT was the african who first developed IT on a large scale during the eighteen sixties. Everybody was excited by this new material because I was so cheap. Poor workers were able to buy plastic colors. These plastic colors were hard and uncomfortable, but they were easy to wash. The poor workers could clean them every evening with just soap and water. Poor mothers who had not been able to afford toys for their children were now able to buy inexpensive ones made of plastic. However, plastic has one serious fault. Some kinds of plastic can catch fire very easily. And when they do, a poisonous gas is produced. What's worse, plastic takes a very long time to break down. So IT causes serious pollution. We now use the term White pollution to refer to plastic pollution. This history of plastic is no longer than you might expect. In fact, the first man made plastic was made over a hundred years ago.

B A young family who has never camped in their life have sold everything they own to start a tour of Europe in a motorhome. Cheryl, 33 and Jason, 28, sold their house, quit their jobs and ditched a normal life for a year on the road. With their eldest daughter Flora, five, just a year away from starting school, the couple decided it was time to go on a family adventure across the continent. Cheryl teaches Flora while they travel to prepare her for school next year. The family, which also include their four-year-old daughter Elsie, son Archie and dogs Poppy and Angus, have been on the road for a period. Cheryl said, “Nobody would describe us as typical travelers. We’d never even been camping before. We talked for a long time about wanting to see different parts of the world, but we never actually thought we were actually going to. Our eldest child is due to start school this August, so we put it off by one year. We thought, ‘if we don’t do it this year, we may never will.’ My mom and dad died this year and after that I started to feel life is too short. We thought there must be more to life than working, caring and sleeping every day.” The mom-of-three still can’t quite believe they’re actually doing it. She said, “We decided it at the end of June, sold our house in July, and then when August came around we bought the motor house and set off.” Despite being anxious at first, with the family sometimes quarreling, Cheryl thinks the trip has helped strengthen family bonds. She said, “If we have an argument there is nowhere to hide. You can’t go into your room and be angry. It means it has to be dealt with there and then, and it taught us to be more open with each other as a family. Every day is quality family time. We couldn’t get that if we were back home with work, school and nursery.” 56. What does the underlined word “ditched” in Paragraph 1 mean? A. gave up. B. enjoyed. C. experienced. D. got tired of. 57. What does Cheryl think of the travel? A. It is too short. B. It is too expensive. C. It is filled with quarrels. D. It is worthwhile. 58. What can be learned about Cheryl and Jason’s decision-making process for the trip? A. They made the decision slowly and carefully over a long time. B. Their decision was mainly influenced by their children’s school-going situation. C. The death of Cheryl’s parents had no impact on their decision. D. They decided to start the trip as soon as they had the idea. 59. What is the purpose of the family trip? A. To honor Cheryl’s parents. B. To experience more about life. C. To prepare the kids for school. D. To give Jason a break from work. 60. What can we infer about the family? A. They’re actually typical traveler. B. They have spent years preparing for the travel. C. They become closer as family members. D. They will hide away from each other when an argument happens. C That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it when performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres (半球) of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 61. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people. B. What role it has played in evolution. C. What circumstances may trigger it. D. In what way it can be beneficial 62. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research? A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins D. She conducted studies on birds' and dolphins' sleeping patterns 63. What did Dr. Sasaki do when she first did her experiment? A. She monitored the brain activity of participants sleeping in a new environment. B. She recruited 35 participants from her Department of Psychological Sciences. C. She studied the differences between the two sides of participants’ brains. D. She tested her findings about birds and dolphins on human subjects. 64. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment? A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli. D. She compared the responses of different participants. 65. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment? A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat. C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps. D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones. 第III卷 非选择题 （满分30分） 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 阅读表达（共5小题; 每小题2分，满分10分） When Tsinghua University’s new freshmen arrived on campus last August, the first question they were faced with at the registration desk was “Did you come alone or with your parents?” According to statistics, we know that more than half of the 539 students came alone. In a letter to freshmen this year, Chen Jining, the president of Tsinghua University, encouraged them to “start this new adventure by standing on your own two feet.” To help freshmen grow up, some universities have thought of new methods. At Tsinghua, for example, freshmen need to register and find their dormitory by themselves. The process requires two to three hours, during which volunteers take parents on a tour of the campus. At Zhejiang University, a banner (横幅) hanging in the information center says “Parents let go please; let us guide your children.” Lu Guodong, dean (系主任) of undergraduate studies at Zhejiang University, coined the slogan. “The slogan is for parents. Often parents like to do things or make decisions for their children. In their eyes children never grow up,” said Lu. A girl arrived at the railway station with her luggage and looked around for her university’s welcome team. She was Jin Hongting, 19, from Hebei province and would study industry business administration at Beijing Union University. When asked why she came alone, Jin said: “There’s no need to bother my parents to come with me. It only takes four hours from my hometown to Beijing.” Sometimes, however, the distance between university and home is so great that many parents are too worried to let their children travel alone. To reassure (使放心) parents, Renmin University of China introduced a new method. It asked senior students to go back to their hometown and accompany freshmen back to the campus. This helps freshmen get used to living independently. 66. What will parents do when students register and find their dormitory by themselves at Tsinghua? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________ 67. What does the underlined “coined” mean in Para.2?
