Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Don’t Hibernate AH, WINTER, the season of roast dinners and heated blankets. Not so much time for getting up early to hit the gym, going for a run in the evening darkness, or even taking a brief walk at lunch time. The evidence confirms what you probably ___21___. In winter, most people tend to spend more time in a sedentary (久坐的) way. Does that mean we casual exercisers are fated to ___22___ in the icy months, or are there ways to address it? And does anything about the colder, darker months actually make maintaining our ___23___ easier? First of all, it is helpful for you to make the effort during winter, even if you are not ___24___ about your six-pack (发达的腹肌). Seasonal affective disorder (properly abbreviated as SAD), which is often linked to reduced ___25___ to sunlight during the shorter winter days, may affect not just mood but your health as well. While exercise is not a cure-all, studies suggest that it can help to ___26___ the mood disorder. Are there benefits to training in cold weather? This is ___27___. For years, it was assumed that bodies burn more calories in the cold to keep warm, while also helping the body’s-white fat to take on the properties of brown fat, which ___28___ as a fuel to maintain body temperature. However, just how beneficial the process can be is open to ___29___. Still, the benefits of exercise make it more than worth toughing out the odd pre-dawn alarm. But how do you get it done? “My top tip would be to either use your commute (通勤) to get your workout in, or make sure you get out again as soon as you get home,” says running coach Havley Hemmings. “I’d also ____30____ teaming up with someone so you’re accountable to go for a run.” Of course, if training outdoors does not sound like fun, even when you are ____31____ up, there are other options.

And finally, don’t ____34____ the importance of your mood on getting you to work out in the first place. There is fairly strong evidence that ____35____ vitamin D can positively affect your mood, and it is nearly impossible to get enough from the sun in winter.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I was 12 years old when my life changed forever. It was just before the end of the school day, and my teacher told me that my mum had asked me to go home immediately. There was a police car in the driveway, and I heard the sound of my sister crying in the living room. My mum took me upstairs and told me that my dad had died. I remember crying like forever. Then my uncle sat me down and told me what had happened. I remember thinking Dad must have been in an accident in his car — he had a sporty red one, and I thought he must have crashed. So it was shocking to learn he had been murdered — especially when I then discovered that he had been trying to help someone. Our cleaner had been going through a difficult break-up with her husband, and had her post delivered to our house so her partner couldn’t seize it. Dad had taken her mail round to her, but her partner saw him, stole a knife, went to the house and stabbed my dad through the heart, which killed him instantly. It took me a very long time to be able to get to a place where I could remember the happy times with my dad. It’s as if your brain won’t let you remember, because it’s too painful. Even 30 years on, it can be a challenge. It’s like a coping surviving mechanism and I still work through it today — but that’s life living with sorrow. During the past few years I’ve found that talking and writing has been a big help. It’s helped me acknowledge what happened, and has made me see these feelings are completely normal. Actually for many years, I used to question why I was still feeling this way, but you come to realize there is no set pattern to sorrow. It’s not a quick-fix process; it’s not even a fixable process. It’s something you have to live with, and you take comfort wherever you can find it. For someone who has just gone through an unbearable loss, please take it easy on yourself. I’m not sure whether time is a healer, but it will show you how to live with these feelings you’re experiencing. And through your own unique journey, you’ll get to the point of understanding yourself that little bit better. 36. What can we learn about the death of the writer’s father? A. He died a slow and painful death. B. He was killed in a car crash. C He suffered from a heart attack. D. He was cruelly murdered. 37.

A. remembering every happy moment spent with his father B. blocking memories related to his father C. seeking a fixed pattern to overcome sorrow D. going to the doctor for consultation 38. What will the writer probably say to the woman who lost her beloved husband 4 years ago? A. With time passing by, you are sure to recover from the pain. B. Talking and writing about loss is a quick-fix process for you. C. Whatever feeling you have gone through is natural and normal. D. If you are sill in a dark place, travelling may be a good idea. 39. The article is written to ________. A. share a heartbreaking personal story B. honor the memory of the writer’s father C. highlight the need for personal safety D. guide others how to face loss (B) （B） Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner with Habitat. Habitat is committed to providing qualified households with the opportunity for affordable homeownership. We follow an equal policy of homebuyer selection and are accountable to mortgage (按揭贷款) lending laws. We manage the homeowner selection and approval process at the local level. Qualified homebuyers must be: In need of safe, affordable housing Applicants may be dealing with substandard housing that is poorly built, damaged, or inaccessible due to disabilities. Low-income or moderate-income Household income must not go over 60% of the area average income defined annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Able and willing to pay an affordable mortgage Habitat ensures that the monthly mortgage payments do not go beyond 30% of the homebuyer’s monthly income.  Willing to partner with Habitat Once selected, homebuyers must partner with Habitat throughout the process. This partnership includes performing “sweat equity”, such as conducting construction work on their home or another family’s home, clearing build sites to make way for new construction, writing thank-you cards to local donors and so on. The following is an overview of the homeownership process： Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6 Step 1: ... Step 2: ... Step 3: ... Step 4: ... Step 5: Homebuyers complete the paperwork for a mortgage, which ends with their signature. Step 6: Once all of the forms are signed and all of the construction is complete, it’s time to move in and celebrate! 40. The main purpose of Habitat is to ______. A. apply for bank loans for those in need of home B. build houses with the help of future homeowners C. offer houses to families with low or moderate income D. enable affordable homeownership for specific families 41. What can be learned from the passage? A. Low-wage workers may have little chance of being selected by Habitat. B. Homebuyers can partner with Habitat by performing construction work. C. Those who want to improve living conditions should become Habitat’s partners. D. That monthly mortgage payment takes 25% of the area average income is acceptable. 42. What is the correct order of the four missing steps in the process? ① Local Habitat staff and volunteers carefully review each family’s application packet and present their recommendations to the local board of directors. ② There are information sessions where potential homeowners can learn about their homeownership program, ask questions and make connections. ③ Habitat staff make a home visit to hear more about a potential future homeowner’s desire to partner with Habitat. ④ If a family feels Habitat’s homeownership program is the right fit for them, they apply locally during an open application period. A ②④③① B. ②①④③ C. ①④③② D. ①②④③ (C) The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species yet to be documented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research. The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets. One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64,100 recorded tree species on the planet — up from previous estimates of around 60,000. The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team’s result is “a rather conservative estimate,” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon,” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.” Silman, a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues’ local surveys suggest there are at least 3,000 and possibly more than 6,000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon — or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many species already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet?” he says. Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered,” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.” 43 What is the finding of the new research? A. Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge. B. About nine thousand new tree species have been identified. C. Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science. D. Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees. 44. What can be learned about the research method? A. The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data. B. The researchers did extensive field study in out-of-the-way spots. C. Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method. D. Inferring from the existing data is the main research method. 45. The underlined word “preponderance” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. majority B. duration C. cultivation D. capacity 46. According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________. A. genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information B. the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species C. trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together D. too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Why you get anxiety at night According to the Sleep Foundation in America, a conservative estimate (保守估计) is that 10 to 30 percent of adults experience difficulty falling asleep, especially due to anxious thoughts. Indeed, a study from the University of Oxford found that a key difference between insomniacs (失眠者) and the control group (对照组) was the content of their thoughts during bedtime. The problem sleepers were more focused on worries and concerns. ____47____ Many of us may have had the experience of falling fast asleep in front of the TV. However, when we take ourselves to bed, we lie there wide-awake with anxious thoughts racing through our minds. One of the main reasons is the lack of distraction. When you’re busy during the day, your brain is occupied with all manner of tasks and activities. In the evening, you might eat dinner, chat and then watch TV. All the while, the regions involved in planning and decision making in your brain are occupied. ____48____ Your mind is entirely free to turn in on itself, either to worry about all of the things that have been happening to you recently or the next day to come. Psychologists are increasingly realizing that one of the least effective ways to deal with troubling thoughts is to try to fight them. Doing so only increases their existence, making them hang around for longer. ____49____ One practical way to solve this problem is by making it a practice to write in a daily journal before going to bed. It’s as if the writing exercise got the anxious thoughts out of their heads and onto paper, making it easier for them to drop off. For many people, it’s not worries about the past that keep them awake, but worries about all of the things that they have yet to do. ____50____ If this fits with your own experiences, there’s evidence that you too could benefit from getting all of those worries out onto paper. Generally speaking, worry (in moderation) is a normal human activity. Rather than trying to fight it, the trick to getting a peaceful night’s sleep is to plan a time earlier in the day to give your brain a chance to avoid the building up of any potential anxieties. That way, when your head hits the pillow, you’ll find it easier to sail off to dreamland on calm waters. A. Instead, it’s better to accept the thoughts, so as to allow them to pass in time. B. As compared, the healthy controls tended to think about nothing in particular. C. Researchers asked them to spend five minutes before bedtime writing about all that they’d done. D. Yet the moment you rest your head on your pillow all external distractions are suddenly gone. E. Indeed, there’s some evidence that Sunday nights are the worst for insomnia for this very reason. F. The key seems to be that participants wrote their to-do list rather than mentally thought about their unfinished tasks. IV. Summary Writing (10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as much as possible. China’s food delivery services have witnessed extraordinary growth, increasing by an impressive 371% from 2015 to June 2023. In 2015, the nation only had 113.6 million users of food delivery services. By June 2023, this number had soared to 534.88 million. This highlights the rapid embrace of delivery platforms across the country. The demographic landscape (人口统计形势) of China’s online food delivery user base has undergone significant changes. In 2015, white-collar workers comprised 63% of users, while students accounted for 30.5%. By 2019, a dramatic transformation had occurred. White-collar workers now make up 83% of users and students only10%. Furthermore, women constitute 51% of food delivery app users. About 85% of users fall within the 18to 40 age range. Food delivery services in China have surpassed (超过) those in Western countries in popularity. Several reasons can explain this phenomenon. Chinese consumers are notably price-sensitive. In China, food delivery costs are significantly lower. They are only 10 to 20% of U. S. prices. This is due to intense competition among providers like Ele.me and Meituan. These companies are in fierce price wars and offer generous discounts and coupons (优惠券) to customers. This makes online food orders more affordable than dining out. Moreover, China’s demanding work culture and the emerging phenomenon of “lazy cancer” have further contributed to the surge in food delivery usage. Young people in China reflect a wide-spread sense of dislike of cooking. A survey conducted in March 2020 revealed that about 67% of the 7,220 Chinese food delivery users surveyed cited laziness as the reason for ordering instead of dining out. In conclusion, the food delivery industry in China shows the changes of consumer needs. This rapid growth not only reflects the convenience-driven demands of modern life but also showcases the innovation of the food service sector. As such, food delivery is sure to remain an important aspect of Chinese dining habits. It will shape the future landscape of dining experiences and satisfaction for years to come. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) I was 12 years old when my life changed forever. It was just before the end of the school day, and my teacher told me that my mum had asked me to go home immediately. There was a police car in the driveway, and I heard the sound of my sister crying in the living room. My mum took me upstairs and told me that my dad had died. I remember crying like forever. Then my uncle sat me down and told me what had happened. I remember thinking Dad must have been in an accident in his car — he had a sporty red one, and I thought he must have crashed. So it was shocking to learn he had been murdered — especially when I then discovered that he had been trying to help someone. Our cleaner had been going through a difficult break-up with her husband, and had her post delivered to our house so her partner couldn’t seize it. Dad had taken her mail round to her, but her partner saw him, stole a knife, went to the house and stabbed my dad through the heart, which killed him instantly. It took me a very long time to be able to get to a place where I could remember the happy times with my dad. It’s as if your brain won’t let you remember, because it’s too painful. Even 30 years on, it can be a challenge. It’s like a coping surviving mechanism and I still work through it today — but that’s life living with sorrow. During the past few years I’ve found that talking and writing has been a big help. It’s helped me acknowledge what happened, and has made me see these feelings are completely normal. Actually for many years, I used to question why I was still feeling this way, but you come to realize there is no set pattern to sorrow. It’s not a quick-fix process; it’s not even a fixable process. It’s something you have to live with, and you take comfort wherever you can find it. For someone who has just gone through an unbearable loss, please take it easy on yourself. I’m not sure whether time is a healer, but it will show you how to live with these feelings you’re experiencing. And through your own unique journey, you’ll get to the point of understanding yourself that little bit better. 36. What can we learn about the death of the writer’s father? A. He died a slow and painful death. B. He was killed in a car crash. C. He suffered from a heart attack. D. He was cruelly murdered. 37.

The article is written to ________. A. share a heartbreaking personal story B. honor the memory of the writer’s father C. highlight the need for personal safety D. guide others how to face loss 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了在作者12岁的时候，父亲被谋杀了。从此，他一直带着悲伤生活。他发现悲伤并没有固定的模式，这不是一个快速解决的过程；这甚至不是一个可以修复的过程。他想告诉那些刚刚经历了难以承受的失亲之痛的人，要放松自己。他并不确定时间是否是一个治愈者，但它会告诉你如何与你正在经历的这些感受一起生活。通过你自己独特的旅程，你会更好地理解自己。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Dad had taken her mail round to her, but her partner saw him, stole a knife, went to the house and stabbed my dad through the heart, which killed him instantly. (爸爸把她的信给了她，但她的伴侣看到了他，偷了一把刀，跑到家里刺穿了爸爸的心脏，他当场就死了)”可知，作者的父亲被残忍地杀害了。故选D。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It took me a very long time to be able to get to a place where I could remember the happy times with my dad. It’s as if your brain won’t let you remember, because it’s too painful. (我花了很长时间才能够回忆起和爸爸在一起的快乐时光。就好像你的大脑不让你记起来，因为太痛苦了)”可推知，作者最初通过屏蔽与父亲有关的记忆来控制失去父亲的痛苦。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“During the past few years I’ve found that talking and writing has been a big help. It’s helped me acknowledge what happened, and has made me see these feelings are completely normal. (在过去的几年里，我发现交谈和写作对我有很大的帮助。它帮助我承认发生了什么，让我看到这些感觉是完全正常的)”及最后一段中的“For someone who has just gone through an unbearable loss, please take it easy on yourself. I’m not sure whether time is a healer, but it will show you how to live with these feelings you’re experiencing. (对于那些刚刚经历了难以承受的失亲之痛的人，请放松自己。我不确定时间是否是一个治愈者，但它会告诉你如何与你正在经历的这些感受一起生活)”可推知，作者可能会对四年前失去挚爱丈夫的女人说：无论你经历了什么感觉都是自然和正常的。故选C。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据作者对自己亲身经历的陈述及最后一段中的“For someone who has just gone through an unbearable loss, please take it easy on yourself. I’m not sure whether time is a healer, but it will show you how to live with these feelings you’re experiencing. (对于那些刚刚经历了难以承受的失亲之痛的人，请放松自己。我不确定时间是否是一个治愈者，但它会告诉你如何与你正在经历的这些感受一起生活)”可推知，作者写这篇文章是为了指导别人如何面对失去亲人的痛苦。故选D。 (B) （B） Thank you for your interest in becoming a homeowner with Habitat.

(一旦被选中，购房者必须在整个过程中和Habitat合作。这种伙伴关系包括执行“血汗权益”，例如在他们的家或另一个家庭的家里进行建筑工作，清理建筑工地为新建筑让路，给当地捐助者写感谢卡等等。)”可知，购房者可以通过进行建筑工作与Habitat合作，故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据图片可知首先应该是有信息发布会，让潜在购房者了解项目，所以②“有信息会议，潜在的房主可以了解他们的房屋所有权计划，提出问题并建立联系。”应为第一步；根据图片可知如果家庭觉得合适，就在开放申请期申请，所以④“如果一个家庭觉得Habitat的房屋所有权计划适合他们，他们可以在公开申请期间在当地申请。”应为第二步；根据图片可知接着Habitat工作人员会家访，所以③“Habitat的工作人员进行家访，以更多地了解潜在的未来房主与Habitat合作的愿望。”应是第三步；根据图片可知最后工作人员和志愿者审核申请并提交给董事会，所以①“当地Habitat的工作人员和志愿者仔细审查每个家庭的申请材料，并向当地董事会提交他们的建议。”应是第四步，故选A。 (C) The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species yet to be documented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research. The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets. One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64,100 recorded tree species on the planet — up from previous estimates of around 60,000. The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team’s result is “a rather conservative estimate,” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon,” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.” Silman a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues’ local surveys suggest there are at least 3,000 and possibly more than 6,000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon — or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many species already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet?” he says. Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered,” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.” 43. What is the finding of the new research? A. Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge. B. About nine thousand new tree species have been identified. C. Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science. D. Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees. 44. What can be learned about the research method? A. The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data. B. The researchers did extensive field study in out-of-the-way spots. C. Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method. D. Inferring from the existing data is the main research method. 45. The underlined word “preponderance” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. majority B. duration C. cultivation D. capacity 46. According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________. A. genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information B. the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species C. trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together D. too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented 【答案】43. C 44. D 45. A 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过新的调查研究，得出的对全球的树木生物种类的数量估算，其中还包括一些未记录在案的树种；同时一些生物学家通过调查认为在亚马逊热带雨林里面，还有许多不知名的树种等待人们去发现，这也令这些生物学家们倍受鼓舞。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species yet to be documented.(世界上的森林可能拥有比以前想象的更多的秘密：一项新的全球树木生物多样性估计表明，约有9200种树木尚未被记录在案)”可知，该项新研究指出成千上万的树种仍不为科学所知。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets.(这项新研究利用了数百名贡献者的努力，他们在两个巨大的数据集中对树木进行了分类)”和第三段“The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases.(根据数据库中已有的稀有物种的数量，研究人员得出了他们对另外9200个尚未记录的物种的估计)”可知，该研究的主要方法是从已有的数据中进行推断得出结论。故选D。 45题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else. (比如亚马逊，在那里偏僻的地方可能有一些其他地方没有的不常见的树种)”可知，这里通过举例子说明划线词所在部分“scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon(科学家们对亚马逊等地大多数不常见的树木知之甚少)”中，在如亚马逊雨林这种地方有很多科学家们没见过、不了解的树种，所以他们对这里大多数不常见的树木都知之甚少，故“the preponderance of”表示“大多数”，与“the majority of”同义。故选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon — or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many species already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet?” he says. (斯利曼想知道，在科学家对这些物种进行描述之前，会有多少物种会灭绝。‘在亚马逊地区，有多少物种已被当地居民所熟知——或者有多少物种曾为那些因殖民、疾病或被同化而消亡的民族或文化所知晓？又有多少物种的干燥样本已经存放在实验室的柜子里？’他说道)”可知，Sliman认为当地的民族或文化也不完全了解这些树种，所以这也是树种数量被低估的一个原因。故选B。 Section C Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. Why you get anxiety at night According to the Sleep Foundation in America, a conservative estimate (保守估计) is that 10 to 30 percent of adults experience difficulty falling asleep, especially due to anxious thoughts. Indeed, a study from the University of Oxford found that a key difference between insomniacs (失眠者) and the control group (对照组) was the content of their thoughts during bedtime. The problem sleepers were more focused on worries and concerns. ____47____ Many of us may have had the experience of falling fast asleep in front of the TV. However, when we take ourselves to bed, we lie there wide-awake with anxious thoughts racing through our minds. One of the main reasons is the lack of distraction. When you’re busy during the day, your brain is occupied with all manner of tasks and activities. In the evening, you might eat dinner, chat and then watch TV. All the while, the regions involved in planning and decision making in your brain are occupied. ____48____ Your mind is entirely free to turn in on itself, either to worry about all of the things that have been happening to you recently or the next day to come. Psychologists are increasingly realizing that one of the least effective ways to deal with troubling thoughts is to try to fight them. Doing so only increases their existence, making them hang around for longer. ____49____ One practical way to solve this problem is by making it a practice to write in a daily journal before going to bed. It’s as if the writing exercise got the anxious thoughts out of their heads and onto paper, making it easier for them to drop off. For many people, it’s not worries about the past that keep them awake, but worries about all of the things that they have yet to do. ____50____ If this fits with your own experiences, there’s evidence that you too could benefit from getting all of those worries out onto paper. Generally speaking, worry (in moderation) is a normal human activity. Rather than trying to fight it, the trick to getting a peaceful night’s sleep is to plan a time earlier in the day to give your brain a chance to avoid the building up of any potential anxieties. That way, when your head hits the pillow, you’ll find it easier to sail off to dreamland on calm waters. A. Instead, it’s better to accept the thoughts, so as to allow them to pass in time. B. As compared, the healthy controls tended to think about nothing in particular. C. Researchers asked them to spend five minutes before bedtime writing about all that they’d done. D. Yet the moment you rest your head on your pillow, all external distractions are suddenly gone. E. Indeed, there’s some evidence that Sunday nights are the worst for insomnia for this very reason. F. The key seems to be that participants wrote their to-do list rather than mentally thought about their unfinished tasks. 【答案】47. B 48. D 49. A 50. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了许多成年人在晚上难以入睡，尤其是因焦虑想法而失眠的原因，并提供了一些应对方法，如写日记和提前规划，以帮助人们获得更好的睡眠。 【47题详解】 由上文“Indeed, a study from the University of Oxford found that a key difference between insomniacs (失眠者) and the control group (对照组) was the content of their thoughts during bedtime. The problem sleepers were more focused on worries and concerns. (事实上，牛津大学的一项研究发现，失眠者和对照组之间的一个关键区别是他们在就寝时的想法内容。睡眠有问题的人更关注担忧和顾虑。)”可知，这里需要进一步说明对照组的情况，与失眠者形成对比。B选项“As compared, the healthy controls tended to think about nothing in particular. (相比之下，健康的对照组倾向于什么都不想。)”能承接上文，符合题意，故选B。 【48题详解】 由上文“When you’re busy during the day, your brain is occupied with all manner of tasks and activities. In the evening, you might eat dinner, chat and then watch TV. All the while, the regions involved in planning and decision making in your brain are occupied. (当你白天很忙的时候，你的大脑被各种各样的任务和活动占据着。晚上，你可能会吃晚饭、聊天，然后看电视。与此同时，你大脑中负责计划和决策的区域也在忙碌着。)”及下文“Your mind is entirely free to turn in on itself, either to worry about all of the things that have been happening to you recently or the next day to come. (你的思想完全自由地转向自己，要么担心最近发生在你身上的所有事情，要么担心即将到来的第二天。)”可知，本空应描述从白天忙碌到晚上休息时，外部干扰的突然消失。D选项“Yet the moment you rest your head on your pillow, all external distractions are suddenly gone. (然而，当你把头靠在枕头上时，所有的外部干扰都突然消失了。)”能承上启下，符合题意，故选D。 【49题详解】 由上文“Psychologists are increasingly realizing that one of the least effective ways to deal with troubling thoughts is to try to fight them. Doing so only increases their existence, making them hang around for longer. (心理学家越来越意识到，处理困扰想法的最无效方法之一就是试图与之抗争。这样做只会增加它们的存在感，让它们徘徊得更久。)”可知，本空应提出更有效的应对方法。A选项“Instead, it’s better to accept the thoughts, so as to allow them to pass in time. (相反，最好接受这些想法，让它们及时过去。)”能承接上文，符合题意，故选A。 【50题详解】 该空与上文“For many people, it’s not worries about the past that keep them awake, but worries about all of the things that they have yet to do. (对许多人来说，让他们睡不着的不是对过去的担忧，而是对所有他们还没有做的事情的担忧。)”形成因果关系，上文解释了E选项中为什么周日晚上失眠最严重的原因，该选项中“Sunday nights are the worst for insomnia”也呼应下文“If this fits with your own experiences, there’s evidence that you too could benefit from getting all of those worries out onto paper. (如果这与你的经历相符，有证据表明，你也可以从把所有这些担忧都写在纸上中受益。)”中“If this fits with your own experiences”，E选项“Indeed, there’s some evidence that Sunday nights are the worst for insomnia for this very reason.(事实上，有证据表明，正是由于这个原因，周日晚上失眠最严重。)”符合题意，故选E。 IV. Summary Writing (10分) 51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as much as possible. China’s food delivery services have witnessed extraordinary growth, increasing by an impressive 371% from 2015 to June 2023. In 2015, the nation only had 113.6 million users of food delivery services. By June 2023, this number had soared to 534.88 million. This highlights the rapid embrace of delivery platforms across the country. The demographic landscape (人口统计形势) of China’s online food delivery user base has undergone significant changes. In 2015, white-collar workers comprised 63% of users, while students accounted for 30.5%. By 2019, a dramatic transformation had occurred. White-collar workers now make up 83% of users and students only10%. Furthermore, women constitute 51% of food delivery app users. About 85% of users fall within the 18to 40 age range. Food delivery services in China have surpassed (超过) those in Western countries in popularity. Several reasons can explain this phenomenon. Chinese consumers are notably price-sensitive. In China, food delivery costs are significantly lower. They are only 10 to 20% of U. S. prices. This is due to intense competition among providers like Ele.me and Meituan. These companies are in fierce price wars and offer generous discounts and coupons (优惠券) to customers. This makes online food orders more affordable than dining out. Moreover, China’s demanding work culture and the emerging phenomenon of “lazy cancer” have further contributed to the surge in food delivery usage. Young people in China reflect a wide-spread sense of dislike of cooking. A survey conducted in March 2020 revealed that about 67% of the 7,220 Chinese food delivery users surveyed cited laziness as the reason for ordering instead of dining out. In conclusion, the food delivery industry in China shows the changes of consumer needs. This rapid growth not only reflects the convenience-driven demands of modern life but also showcases the innovation of the food service sector. As such, food delivery is sure to remain an important aspect of Chinese dining habits. It will shape the future landscape of dining experiences and satisfaction for years to come. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The passage details the extraordinary growth of China’s food delivery services, with user numbers skyrocketing from 2015 to 2023.

In the cartoon, grandpa and Grandson are watching a play in a theater. To the same play, two people’s reaction is very different. The grandfather is listening to the music with great interest, while the grandson is bowing his head to sleep. The cartoon reflects that nowadays young people are not interested in traditional Chinese opera culture. I think young people should actively promote traditional Chinese culture, especially opera culture. In addition, under the background that contemporary young people do not “catch a cold” in opera culture, Chinese traditional opera culture should adapt to the trend of times, and make use of network technology and information means to reform and innovate opera culture, so that Chinese opera can enter the public’s vision and be loved by the public. All in all, Chinese opera, especially Peking Opera, is the quintessence of Chinese culture. The contemporary youth have the responsibility and obligation to carry it forward, pass on the quintessence of Chinese culture, and make it popular at home and abroad. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达属于看图作文，所给漫画展示的是剧场中的场景。要求考生以此为素材写篇短文。文章必须包括：简要描述漫画内容；就其折射出的社会现象谈谈你的感想。 【详解】1.词汇积累 对……感兴趣：be interested in→have interest in→show interest in 总之：all in all→in short →in brief 另外，此外：in addition→furthermore→moreover 反应，回应：reaction→response→reflection 2.句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：In the cartoon, grandpa and Grandson are watching a play in a theater.
