B In Chef Ana Manhao Sou’s mind, her restaurant, Belos Tempos, represents the home-cooked meals of Macao-born Portuguese. Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s. Following her retirement in 2013, she started her culinary (烹饪) business by opening Belos Tempos. Located in Rua da Felicidade, one of Macao’s most historic and tourist- centric streets, the small two- story restaurant serves Portuguese and Macao food. The menu s at the restaurant are written in English, Portuguese and Chinese. Sou is keen on creating Macao food and spreading the word about its traditional and cultural value. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young individuals how to cook all the dishes in her knowledge. She highlighted that a rich variety of spices is a notable characteristic. The culinary tradition embraces spices from India, Indonesia, and ingredients from other countries along the sea trade route, including curry, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and saffron. Tacho is one of Sou’s signature dishes, representing the typical flavors of a Portuguese household in Macao. According to her, the term tacho in Portuguese translates to big plate. This dish holds special significance for Portuguese families in Macao during Christmas, as Sou explains, “While turkey might not grace our table, tacho is a must, enjoyed only once a year.” Tacho is a culinary mixture, combining diverse Chinese and Western ingredients. Sou emphasizes the individuality of each family’s tacho, with variations reflecting treasured, handed-down recipes. Common components include stewed chicken, pig’s trotters, cured duck legs, sausages, fried pig skin, and cabbage. Sou believes that the current trend of traditional cuisine is promising, thanks to the support from the local government. As Sou mentioned, Macao was named a Creative City of Gastronomy (美食) by UNESCO in 2017. The local government has since introduced a comprehensive set of initiatives to enhance the preservation and inheritance of its cuisine. Together with other chefs, Sou has been making a sustained effort to help this historical record of the city to continue to shine. 24. What do we know about Belos Tempos? A. It is co-managed by Sou and her parents. B. It is located in the quietest street of Macao. C. It features a variety of spices from Portugal. D. It serves a mix of Eastern and Western foods. 25. How does Sou contribute to the culinary industry in Macao? A. By preserving and promoting traditional cuisine. B. By creating multi-lingual menus for restaurants. C. By teaching people to cook typical Chinese food. D. By improving her family-treasured recipe of Tacho. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Sou is optimistic about the future of Portuguese cuisine. B. Macao has been a creative city of cuisine since its foundation. C. The Macao government highly encourages traditional cuisine. D. Chefs’ efforts have led to the city’s sustainable development. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Creation of Macao Food B. When Portugal Meets Macao C. Sou’s Signature Dishes Shine D. Current Trends of Traditional Cuisine C “The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression,” says play researcher Stuart Brown. “The adult-play shortage is becoming a public health crisis.” Play may appear insignificant, but recent studies indicate it may be as essential as the need for sleep. Playfulness helps some young animals learn to master their bodies and their environments — and once they do, most stop playing as adults. “Adult play promotes qualities that we humans could use more of,” says Jeff Harry, a play consultant. Unfortunately, social standards restrain (抑制) our urge to let loose. “Being a playful adult is really disapproved in our society,” he says. “You don’t want people to think that you’re childish.” “It hasn’t always been this way,” says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Boston University. When Gray reviewed descriptions of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he noticed that they were often described as “good-humored” and “joyful”. “What we would call work — hunting and gathering — was fun,” he says. “Generally speaking, we like to do the things that are necessary for our survival. Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play entirely,” Gray adds. We may be able to reverse this situation, says Harry. As we fully make the transition to a knowledge-based economy, work and play are beginning to merge (合并) again. Some of today’s most successful companies, such as Google and Apple, were started by people tinkering (小修补) in their garages. “Play is all about looking at a tough world with creativity and optimism,” Brown says. He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for our survival as a species”. The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say, “I am not wasting time, or acting immature. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.” 28. Why does Stuart Brown consider adult play essential? A. It promotes creativity. B. It battles depression. C. It facilitates cooperation. D. It improves adaptivity. 29. What societal factor restrains adult play according to Jeff Harry? A. Fear of judgment from others. B. Lack of sufficient time for leisure. C. Cultural emphasis on personal values. D. Pressure from work-related responsibilities 30. Which statement will Peter Gray agree with according to Paragraph 3? A. Adult play contributes positively to work. B. Social attitudes toward play regularly shift. C. Humans initially found joy in survival activities. D. Industrialization closely connected work and play. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To stress the significance of adult play. B. To discuss the evolution of work and play. C. To advocate playfulness in modern businesses. D. To explore the impact of adult play on depression. D To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words. A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意的) people. The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people. For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively helped other people. Drawing on these response sheets, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior. They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly able to relate to others the most. The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so, picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place. 32. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By making questionnaire surveys. B. By comparing experiment statistics. C. By observing participants’ behaviors. D. By referring to previous study reports. 33. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Embarrassing. B. Satisfying. C. Amazing. D. Disappointing. 34. What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study? A. Reading fiction and comedy. B. Enjoying romance and drama. C Taking part in social activities. D. Watching plays on social media. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. All people support the research result. B. Further study is needed on this subject. C. The nicer and kinder people like reading. D. Reading can help people make more friends. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to neuroscientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol, gambling, or nicotine. ____36____ More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for crystals, shells, and other objects just as seeking for food. In modern times, while some people collect as a statement of who they are, others collect as an investment or a source of pleasure. “While the motivations to collect are varied, they typically center around developing a more positive sense of self,” says Brandon Schmeichel, a comic book collector and a psychology professor. ____37____ In terms of the latter, stuff is obtained indiscriminately (不加区分地). Instead of creating a sense of self-worth, the behavior typically makes those who are accustomed to it feel bad about themselves. “____38____ You have to figure out where you can find the desired items, what they’re worth, and how you will organize and display your collections,” Mueller says. “Those activities stimulate areas of the brain involved in executive functioning, skills that include working memory, multitasking, and impulse-control.” On a physiological level, research shows that tangible (有形的) objects have unique effects on brain functions. These objects stimulate many areas of the brain at the same time. Each object is associated with a person, experience, or moment in time. ____39____ Every item is a signal for your memory. “This sort of collecting facilitates one’s recall about the past,” Schmeichel says. Collecting also seems to hit fundamental psychological needs. “Collectors often report that the friendship of other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting,” Schmeichel reports in Leisure Sciences. Interacting with sellers, other collectors, or even admirers of your collection can also serve as a foundation for relationship-building. ____40____ A. Collecting requires attaining related knowledge. B. That distinguishes collecting from storing up. C. Of course, collecting is not a new phenomenon. D. In that way, collections act as a physical time machine. E. It also functions as a way that actually doesn’t cost much. F. It can cultivate both a sense of belonging and satisfaction. G. Collecting can lead people to concentrate on themselves. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Here I was, sitting in the roller coaster (过山车) cart of Kingda Ka in New Jersey, the tallest and second fastest roller coaster on Earth.

My screams became less terrified and more energetic. Once we reached the ____48____ of the hump. I could almost touch the sky. And then we were spiraling (盘旋) downwards, curving and twisting and ____49____ towards Earth at the same speed. Before I ____50____ it, we had already met the ground. It was a thirty-second-long ride. I managed to ____51____ the entire ride without a breakdown. I gasped (喘气) in ____52____. It was over. I had not only survived the ride — I had ____53____ it. My friend turned to me, her eyes ____54____. “Are you ready for the next roller coaster?” My head felt light as we walked away from the ride spinning with something I didn’t ____55____ recognize. It took me a few minutes to put a name to it — thrill. “I’m ready for anything.” 41. A. wiped B. waved C. joined D. crossed 42. A. removed B. rocketed C. struggled D. marched 43. A. launch B. operation C. ride D. experience 44. A. cheeks B. throat C. heart D. lungs 45. A. minutes B. hours C. seconds D. moments 46. A. Instead B. Meanwhile C. Therefore D. However 47.

Old Red lived outside Larry’s barbershop, sleeping on a small carpet. He had stayed there for a hot summer. Old Red once had a friend—a black dog. But one night, his friend disappeared and Old Red was alone again. I always wished Old Red had his home. I would have adopted him in a minute. But we lived in a small apartment with our kids and we were unable to spare money for a dog’s medicine and food. I wondered who was feeding Old Red daily. One day I found it out. “My husband even buys the most expensive food for Old Red,” Larry’s wife smiled. “He wants to bring him home, but his old mother living with us fears dogs extremely.” I then thanked Larry for his care. He brushed aside my thanks, insisting the dog meant nothing to him. During a snowstorm, Old Red disappeared. I asked Larry where he could be. “I’m glad he’s gone. He was a bother,” Larry said, busily cutting a customer’s hair. Later, his wife told me Larry was actually looking for the dog On the third day, the dog reappeared. But I felt his nose: hot and dry. Bursting into the barbershop, I yelled, “Larry, Old Red is sick!” Larry replied, “I know. He won’t eat.” I left the shop; for hours I tried to get someone to help Old Red but in vain. My husband asked with pity, “Do you want me to go and look at that dog with you?” Quickly grabbing a blanket and antibiotics (抗生素) one of our children had been taking, we piled our kids in the car, driving to Larry’s shop. To my shock, Old Red was gone and couldn’t be found. The next day I took the boys in for a haircut. Old Red was back but looked worse than ever. After feeling his hot nose, I ran into the barbershop. 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。 Looking at him, I said anxiously, “Larry, I’m afraid the dog is suffering too much.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Then the vet gave him a shot.

Particularly interesting is the “tour” around the eleven Earthscapes.(互动式展览可以让游客通过电脑软件体验地震、海底、冰河时代和山脉。特别有趣的是围绕11个地球景观的“游览”)”可知，你能在Our Dynamic Earth进行虚拟世界之旅。故选B。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The museum is home to numerous paintings, books and manuscripts (手稿), and you can also see Burns’ writing desk and Scott’s chess set.(博物馆里有许多绘画、书籍和手稿，你还可以看到伯恩斯写字台和斯科特的国际象棋)”以及最后一段“The natural world, science and technology, discoveries, art, and world cultures are all explored.(自然世界，科学技术，发现，艺术和世界文化都被探索)”可知，作家博物馆和苏格兰国家博物馆的共同之处是都有一种艺术氛围。故选D。 B In Chef Ana Manhao Sou’s mind, her restaurant, Belos Tempos, represents the home-cooked meals of Macao-born Portuguese. Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s. Following her retirement in 2013, she started her culinary (烹饪) business by opening Belos Tempos. Located in Rua da Felicidade, one of Macao’s most historic and tourist- centric streets, the small two- story restaurant serves Portuguese and Macao food. The menu s at the restaurant are written in English, Portuguese and Chinese. Sou is keen on creating Macao food and spreading the word about its traditional and cultural value. She is also enthusiastic about teaching young individuals how to cook all the dishes in her knowledge. She highlighted that a rich variety of spices is a notable characteristic. The culinary tradition embraces spices from India, Indonesia, and ingredients from other countries along the sea trade route, including curry, pepper, cloves, cinnamon, turmeric and saffron. Tacho is one of Sou’s signature dishes, representing the typical flavors of a Portuguese household in Macao. According to her, the term tacho in Portuguese translates to big plate. This dish holds special significance for Portuguese families in Macao during Christmas, as Sou explains, “While turkey might not grace our table, tacho is a must, enjoyed only once a year.” Tacho is a culinary mixture, combining diverse Chinese and Western ingredients. Sou emphasizes the individuality of each family’s tacho, with variations reflecting treasured, handed-down recipes. Common components include stewed chicken, pig’s trotters, cured duck legs, sausages, fried pig skin, and cabbage. Sou believes that the current trend of traditional cuisine is promising, thanks to the support from the local government. As Sou mentioned, Macao was named a Creative City of Gastronomy (美食) by UNESCO in 2017. The local government has since introduced a comprehensive set of initiatives to enhance the preservation and inheritance of its cuisine. Together with other chefs, Sou has been making a sustained effort to help this historical record of the city to continue to shine. 24. What do we know about Belos Tempos? A. It is co-managed by Sou and her parents. B. It is located in the quietest street of Macao. C. It features a variety of spices from Portugal. D. It serves a mix of Eastern and Western foods. 25. How does Sou contribute to the culinary industry in Macao? A. By preserving and promoting traditional cuisine. B. By creating multi-lingual menus for restaurants. C. By teaching people to cook typical Chinese food. D. By improving her family-treasured recipe of Tacho. 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Sou is optimistic about the future of Portuguese cuisine. B. Macao has been a creative city of cuisine since its foundation. C. The Macao government highly encourages traditional cuisine. D. Chefs’ efforts have led to the city’s sustainable development. 27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The Creation of Macao Food B. When Portugal Meets Macao C. Sou’s Signature Dishes Shine D. Current Trends of Traditional Cuisine 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物特写。文章主要讲述了澳门厨师Ana Manhao Sou的个人背景、烹饪事业以及她对澳门传统美食的贡献和热情。通过描述她的餐厅、招牌菜以及她对美食文化的理解和传承，展现了她的个人魅力和对美食文化的独特见解。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Fluent in Cantonese, with a Western appearance, Sou was born and raised in Macao after her parents emigrated from Portugal in the 1950s.

Playfulness helps some young animals learn to master their bodies and their environments — and once they do, most stop playing as adults. “Adult play promotes qualities that we humans could use more of,” says Jeff Harry, a play consultant. Unfortunately, social standards restrain (抑制) our urge to let loose. “Being a playful adult is really disapproved in our society,” he says. “You don’t want people to think that you’re childish.” “It hasn’t always been this way,” says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Boston University. When Gray reviewed descriptions of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he noticed that they were often described as “good-humored” and “joyful”. “What we would call work — hunting and gathering — was fun,” he says. “Generally speaking, we like to do the things that are necessary for our survival. Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play entirely,” Gray adds. We may be able to reverse this situation, says Harry. As we fully make the transition to a knowledge-based economy, work and play are beginning to merge (合并) again. Some of today’s most successful companies, such as Google and Apple, were started by people tinkering (小修补) in their garages. “Play is all about looking at a tough world with creativity and optimism,” Brown says. He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for our survival as a species”. The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say, “I am not wasting time, or acting immature. I’m playing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.” 28. Why does Stuart Brown consider adult play essential? A. It promotes creativity. B. It battles depression. C. It facilitates cooperation. D. It improves adaptivity. 29. What societal factor restrains adult play according to Jeff Harry? A. Fear of judgment from others. B. Lack of sufficient time for leisure. C. Cultural emphasis on personal values. D. Pressure from work-related responsibilities 30. Which statement will Peter Gray agree with according to Paragraph 3? A. Adult play contributes positively to work. B. Social attitudes toward play regularly shift. C. Humans initially found joy in survival activities. D. Industrialization closely connected work and play. 31. What is the purpose of the text? A. To stress the significance of adult play. B. To discuss the evolution of work and play. C To advocate playfulness in modern businesses. D. To explore the impact of adult play on depression. 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了成人玩游戏对个体和社会的重要性，呼吁社会重新认识并重视成人玩游戏的作用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中Stuart Brown所说的话“The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression (游戏的反义词不是工作，而是抑郁)”和“The adult-play shortage is becoming a public health crisis. (成人游戏的短缺正成为一场公共健康危机)”可知，Stuart Brown认为成人玩游戏重要的原因在于它可以对抗抑郁。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Jeff Harry所说的话“Being a playful adult is really disapproved in our society (在我们的社会里，做一个爱玩的成年人是不被认可的)”和“You don’t want people to think that you’re childish. (你不想让别人觉得你幼稚)”可知，Jeff Harry认为成人害怕被别人评判的心理导致他们限制自己进行游戏。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“When Gray reviewed descriptions of the last remaining hunter-gatherer tribes, he noticed that they were often described as “good-humored” and “joyful”. “What we would call work — hunting and gathering — was fun,” he says. (当Gray回顾对最后幸存的狩猎采集部落的描述时，他注意到他们经常被描述为“幽默”和“快乐”。“我们所谓的工作——狩猎和采集——很有趣，”他说)”和“Generally speaking, we like to do the things that are necessary for our survival. (一般来说，我们喜欢做生存所必需的事情)”可知，Peter Gray发现这些部落在狩猎和采集这样的生存活动中得到了乐趣，变得幽默而快乐。由此推知，他会赞同“人类最初在生存活动中找到快乐”的观点。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段中“Play may appear insignificant, but recent studies indicate it may be as essential as the need for sleep. (玩耍可能看起来微不足道，但最近的研究表明，它可能和睡眠一样重要)”可知，文章主要讨论了成人玩游戏对个体和社会的重要性。研究表明，游戏不仅可以帮助小动物学会控制自己和环境，还可以帮助成人对抗抑郁。然而，社会往往并不认可成人玩游戏的行为。但实际上，狩猎采集部落中的工作实际上是有趣而快乐的。由此可知，文章的写作目的在于强调成人玩游戏的重要性。故选A项。 D To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words. A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意的) people. The study, carried out by Kingston University London, and presented at the British Psychological Society conference in Brighton, UK, last week, also found that those who just watched television seemed to be less kind and understanding of other people. For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills. The researchers asked them about their behavior towards others, whether they understood and respected others’ points of view, and whether they actively helped other people. Drawing on these response sheets, the researchers found some mind-boggling results. They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others, while those who preferred watching TV didn’t show the same ability to empathize and were more likely to show unsociable behavior. They also found the forms of fiction people preferred were linked to their interpersonal skills and behavior. Those who preferred fiction displayed the most positive social skills. Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly able to relate to others the most. The researchers concluded that those who read fiction regularly are more well-adapted to see things from other people’s points of view, which makes them better at understanding people. However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction? Even so, picking up a book can’t hurt, and might just make the world a nicer place. 32. How did the researchers conduct the research? A. By making questionnaire surveys. B. By comparing experiment statistics. C. By observing participants’ behaviors. D. By referring to previous study reports. 33. What does the underlined word “mind-boggling” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Embarrassing. B. Satisfying. C. Amazing. D. Disappointing. 34. What can improve people’s empathetic abilities the most according to the study? A. Reading fiction and comedy. B. Enjoying romance and drama. C. Taking part in social activities. D. Watching plays on social media. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. All people support the research result. B. Further study is needed on this subject. C. The nicer and kinder people like reading. D. Reading can help people make more friends. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明常读书，尤其是小说的人更友善、善解人意，而看电视的人则相反。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“For the study, the researchers questioned 123 people on their preferences for books, TV shows, and plays. They were also quizzed about the type of entertainment they preferred from comedy or romance to drama. Then they were tested on their interpersonal skills.(在这项研究中，研究人员询问了123人对书籍、电视节目和戏剧的偏好。他们还被问及他们更喜欢哪种娱乐类型，从喜剧或浪漫到戏剧。随后，他们接受了人际交往能力的测试)”和第四段中的“Drawing on these response sheets, the researchers found some mind-boggling results.(根据这些调查表，研究人员发现了一些令人难以置信的结果)”可知，研究人员是通过问卷调查进行研究的。故选A。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“To the delight of bookworms, anyone who has ever told you burying your head in a book means you’re being unsociable will have to eat their words.(让书虫们高兴的是，任何曾经告诉过你埋头读书意味着你不会社交的人都不得不收回自已的话)”和第四段中的“They discovered that those who read more showed greater positive social behavior and a better ability to empathize with others(他们发现那些阅读更多的人表现出更积极的社交行为和更好的同情他人的能力)”可知，与以往认知“埋头读书意味着你不会社交”相反，研究人员发现，那些阅读量大的人表现出更积极的社会行为，更能与他人产生共鸣，此研究结果令人惊讶。由此可知，画线词mind-boggling的意思应该是“令人吃惊的”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study suggests those who regularly read, especially fiction, are actually nicer and more empathetic (善解人意的) people.(一项新的研究表明，那些经常阅读，尤其是经常阅读小说的人实际上是更友善、更有同理心的人)”以及第五段中的“Romance and drama lovers showed the ability to see others’ points of view, while comedy fans were particularly able to relate to others the most.(爱情故事和戏剧爱好者表现出了理解他人观点的能力，而喜剧迷尤其擅长与他人产生共鸣)”可知，经常阅读小说的人更有同理心，而喜剧迷尤其能够与他人产生共鸣。由此推知，读小说和喜剧最能让人善解人意。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, they do acknowledge that their study didn’t conclude if the effects are causal — does reading make you nicer and more empathetic, or do more empathetic people tend to read fiction?(然而，他们确实承认，他们的研究并没有得出结论，这些影响是不是有因果关系——是阅读会让人变得更好、更有同理心，还是更有同理心的人更喜欢阅读小说？)”可推知，这个问题需要进一步研究。故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to neuroscientist Shirley Mueller, collecting feeds the pleasure center of the brain, but without the drawbacks of alcohol, gambling, or nicotine. ____36____ More than 100,000 years ago, our ancestors searched for crystals, shells, and other objects just as seeking for food. In modern times, while some people collect as a statement of who they are, others collect as an investment or a source of pleasure. “While the motivations to collect are varied, they typically center around developing a more positive sense of self,” says Brandon Schmeichel, a comic book collector and a psychology professor. ____37____ In terms of the latter, stuff is obtained indiscriminately (不加区分地). Instead of creating a sense of self-worth, the behavior typically makes those who are accustomed to it feel bad about themselves. “____38____ You have to figure out where you can find the desired items, what they’re worth, and how you will organize and display your collections,” Mueller says. “Those activities stimulate areas of the brain involved in executive functioning, skills that include working memory, multitasking, and impulse-control.” On a physiological level, research shows that tangible (有形的) objects have unique effects on brain functions. These objects stimulate many areas of the brain at the same time. Each object is associated with a person, experience, or moment in time. ____39____ Every item is a signal for your memory. “This sort of collecting facilitates one’s recall about the past,” Schmeichel says. Collecting also seems to hit fundamental psychological needs. “Collectors often report that the friendship of other collectors is one of the most rewarding aspects of collecting,” Schmeichel reports in Leisure Sciences. Interacting with sellers, other collectors, or even admirers of your collection can also serve as a foundation for relationship-building. ____40____ A. Collecting requires attaining related knowledge. B. That distinguishes collecting from storing up. C. Of course, collecting is not a new phenomenon. D. In that way, collections act as a physical time machine. E. It also functions as a way that actually doesn’t cost much. F. It can cultivate both a sense of belonging and satisfaction. G. Collecting can lead people to concentrate on themselves. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. A 39. D 40.

Old Red lived outside Larry’s barbershop, sleeping on a small carpet. He had stayed there for a hot summer. Old Red once had a friend—a black dog. But one night his friend disappeared and Old Red was alone again. I always wished Old Red had his home. I would have adopted him in a minute. But we lived in a small apartment with our kids and we were unable to spare money for a dog’s medicine and food. I wondered who was feeding Old Red daily. One day I found it out. “My husband even buys the most expensive food for Old Red,” Larry’s wife smiled. “He wants to bring him home, but his old mother living with us fears dogs extremely.” I then thanked Larry for his care. He brushed aside my thanks, insisting the dog meant nothing to him. During a snowstorm, Old Red disappeared. I asked Larry where he could be. “I’m glad he’s gone. He was a bother,” Larry said, busily cutting a customer’s hair. Later, his wife told me Larry was actually looking for the dog On the third day, the dog reappeared. But I felt his nose: hot and dry. Bursting into the barbershop, I yelled, “Larry, Old Red is sick!” Larry replied, “I know. He won’t eat.” I left the shop; for hours I tried to get someone to help Old Red, but in vain. My husband asked with pity, “Do you want me to go and look at that dog with you?” Quickly grabbing a blanket and antibiotics (抗生素) one of our children had been taking, we piled our kids in the car, driving to Larry’s shop. To my shock, Old Red was gone and couldn’t be found. The next day I took the boys in for a haircut. Old Red was back, but looked worse than ever. After feeling his hot nose, I ran into the barbershop. 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。 Looking at him, I said anxiously, “Larry, I’m afraid the dog is suffering too much.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Then the vet gave him a shot. He’s improving now,” Larry’s wife added excitedly. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Looking at him, I said anxiously, “Larry. I’m afraid the dog is suffering too much.” The words slipped out of my mouth with a mix of frustration and desperation. Larry replied with inappropriate calmness, “I know, I haven’t seen him move all morning.” I couldn’t understand how Larry, who had cared for the dog all this time, could remain so indifferent to his fate. I then left the shop with a heavy heart. Driving home, my kids kept asking me whether Old Red would be okay. I nodded sympathetically, and we all prayed for him. One day later Larry’s wife called, “Guess what?” “After you left that day, Larry found a vet online,” she said and paused. “Then the vet gave him a shot. He’s improving now.” Larry’s wife added excitedly. On hearing these words, I sighed with relief. I thanked her for the good news and joked, “Your husband is really sharp-tongued but tender-hearted.” With Larry’s continual help, Old Red’s tail wagged weakly again. Seeing Larry kneel beside the dog, gently offering him food, his mother, though initially fearful, was touched and softened. It was love that broke barriers, proving that compassion could melt even the coldest fears. From that day on, Old Red had not only just a carpet by the shop, but a home where he belonged—a testament to the power of kindness to transform lives. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Old Red这只流浪狗为线索展开，讲述了理发店老板Larry表面冷漠实则关心狗狗，最终在大家帮助下让Old Red恢复健康并获得新家的温暖故事。通过人物对话和细节描写展现了人性中的善良与温情。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句“我跑进理发店。我看着他，焦急地说：‘Larry，我担心这只狗太痛苦了。’”可知，第一段描写了“我”发现Old Red病情严重后与Larry的焦急对话，以及后续发展。通过Larry表面冷静实则暗中联系兽医的反差，展现人物性格。 ②由第二段首句“‘然后兽医给它打了一针。他现在好多了。’Larry的妻子兴奋地补充道。”可知，第二段描写了狗狗康复过程和Larry一家态度转变，最终Old Red获得新家的圆满结局。 2. 续写线索： 发现病情 → 焦急求助 → 暗中救治 → 康复过程 → 态度转变 → 获得新家 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①关心照顾：care for/take care of/show concern for ②态度转变：soften/change attitude/melt one’s fear 情绪类 ①焦急：anxiously/with desperation/frustration ②欣慰：sigh with relief/feel relieved ③感动：be touched/be moved 【点睛】【高分句型1】I couldn’t understand how Larry, who had cared for the dog all this time, could remain so indifferent to his fate.
