In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana, California. Outside his apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to work, but they never spoke. What could they possibly have in common?
One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up homeless for more than a decade. Peterson recalled later, “It was strange but I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved or had a shower in probably a year. His story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’portrait (肖像). Faris said yes.
Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. He sells the portraits for a few thousand dollars and puts half into what he calls a “love account” for his models. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. As for Faris, he used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dream.
But there’s more to the finished products than the money. Peterson has discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”
24. Why did Peterson reach out to Faris?
A. He was suddenly curious about him. B. He was touched by a book about love.
C. He couldn’t bear his yelling anymore. D. He needed a model for his artistic work.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How Peterson evaluated Faris’ story. B. Why Faris failed to pursue his dream.
C. How Peterson and Faris first connected. D. Why Peterson stopped painting for years.
26. Why did Peterson quote people’s words in the last paragraph?
A. To appeal to people to buy his portraits. B. To demonstrate his organization’s influence.
C. To show the importance of helping the homeless. D. To prove the possibility of befriending the homeless.
27. In which section can we probably read this text?
A. People. B. Education. C. Art. D. Entertainment.
C
Kenyan fig trees can change CO2 into stone, ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died. This means that fig trees planted for their fruit could offer additional climate benefits.
All trees take up CO2 from the air, and most of that carbon typically ends up as structural molecules (分子) used to build the plant. Some fig trees, however, transform CO2 into a compound (化合物) called calcium oxalate, which bacteria in the tree and the soil can then turn into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), the main component of stones. Carbon in mineral form can stay within soil for much longer than it can in the tree’s organic matter.
Mike Rowley at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues have made the discovery on three species of fig tree native to Africa. Trees known to store carbon in this way include the iroko tree, which also grows in Africa, but doesn’t produce food.
The team first identified the fig tree species that produce calcium carbonate by applying weak acid onto the trees and looking for bubbles (气泡) -a sign of CO2 being released from calcium carbonate. Then they measured how far away they could detect calcium carbonate in their trunks and the surrounding soil. They found not only a large part of the trees above ground, but the entire root structures have pretty much turned into calcium carbonate in the soil where it shouldn’t be, in high concentrations. “What I’m shocked at is that the calcium carbonate really went far deeper into the wood structures than I had expected,” says Rowley.
The researchers are now planning to assess the fig trees’ suitability for agriculture by quantifying their water requirements and fruit yields. “So far, numerous species of tree have been identified which can form calcium carbonate. But we suspect there are many more.” Rowley notes, “This means a significant, underexplored opportunity to help reduce the amount of CO2 released as we plant trees for forestry or fruit.”
28. What can we learn about the fig trees mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. They can store carbon. B. They release more CO2.
C. They improve soil quality. D. They directly form calcium carbonate.
29. In what way is the fig tree different from the iroko tree?
A. Its climate benefits. B. Its African origin. C. Its fruit-bearing quality. D. Its soil requirement.
30 Why was weak acid used in the research?
A. To identify the species of the fig tree. B. To test for calcium carbonate in the trees.
C. To check the spread of calcium carbonate. D. To measure the amount of the CO2 released.
31. How does Rowley view the prospect of the fig tree research?
A. Depressing. B. Limited. C. Uncertain. D. Promising.
D
We become bored if something fails to absorb our attention, or when we perceive it as meaningless. This is not to say that something needs to be both engaging and meaningful to keep us interested: doing sudoku might be absorbing but relatively meaningless, while reading a Peppa Pig bedtime story for the 500th time is not engaging but may nonetheless feel like a meaningful thing to do.
In any case, when boredom strikes it should serve as a reminder to do something more engaging or meaningful. If you don’t react appropriately to your boredom, you may find yourself becoming chronically (长期) bored. That is associated with a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, poor life satisfaction and so on.
There is statistical evidence to suggest that chronic boredom is becoming more common, and that this commonness consists with the rise of smartphones. Why might digital media have this effect? Research has shown that the main reason we pick up our phones or check our socials is to relieve boredom, but that the behavior actually worsens it.
Digital devices may hold our attention for a while, but much of what we do online doesn’t feel meaningful. It’s incredibly easy to plan to look at your phone for just five minutes and resurface two hours later with a stranger’s holiday plans or the latest entertainment news. Phones’ effectiveness at throwing us into shallow stimulation blocks us from important self-reflection like “Why am I feeling this?” or “What do I need that I’m not getting?” If we pause and listen, then perhaps we can make a choice rather than being controlled by software engineers.
Next time boredom strikes, don’t try to assuage it instantly and ask ourselves: are we in search of pure entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or our community or something different, something new? The people who choose to embrace (拥抱) boredom, at least for a while, may actually experience less of it. It could even be the first step towards a life that feels more stimulating overall: meaningful, creative and free.
32. How does the author clarify his view in the first paragraph?
A. By defining concepts. B. By giving examples. C. By raising assumptions. D. By analyzing data.
33. What can be inferred about boredom?
A. It is easy to overcome. B. It signals a need for change.
C. It is caused by digital devices D. It always indicates mental illness.
34. What does the underlined word “assuage” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Identify. B. Judge. C. Use. D. Relieve.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should we embrace boredom? B. Why should we cut digital device use?
C. What is the root of boredom? D. Can we balance boredom and digital life?

How to Sleep on a Plane
In addition to being 35,000 feet in the sky, it’s understandable that the noise and light on planes can make it challenging to relax and truly fall asleep. ____36____ With these smart tips for how to sleep on a plane, you’ll be slipping into dreamland in no time.
Book a window seat if you’re flying economy.
For many fliers in standard economy, booking a window seat is the best option for getting some sleep on a plane. It’s easier to fall asleep when you can rest your head on the window, and won’t be woken up by a fellow passenger headed to the bathroom. ____37____
Prioritize sleep before a long-distance flight.
When we cross time zones, our internal clock can struggle to keep up. It can only catch up by around an hour or so each day. If you’re flying into a new time zone, start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before your flight, in gradual 20- to 30-minute intervals (间隔). ____38____ It depends on which way you’re headed.
____39____
Specifically, limit your use of electronic devices anywhere close to bedtime whether that’s in your preparation phase in the days leading up to your trip or during your time on the plane. The blue light from screens signals to your brain that it’s daytime, making it harder to relax and feel sleepy.
Bring a light-blocking eye mask.
Whether it’s an open shade, inner lighting or your neighbor’s reading light, well-lit flights can prevent restful sleep. ____40____ Just block it out. Invest in a soft, comfortable light-blocking eye mask, which provides just a small amount of pressure to help relax your nerves. It also signals to flight attendants that you don’t want to be disturbed.
A. Limit your use of electronics.
B. But frustrated fliers, don’t worry!
C. Mind the risk the blue light may pose.
D. Want to know how to sleep on a plane with bright light?
E. This means creating an earlier or later bedtime or wake-up time.
F. So your preparation for a long-distance flight should start days before you fly.
G. The disadvantage is that you have to wake a sleeping seatmate when the need arises.

“I love my bicycle, Daddy,” she said. “Let’s go.”
Gently, I gave her a(n) ____50____ push. Karen simply laughed and pedaled off. I stood alone, ____51____ watching her wheels spinning against the road.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Seven-year-old Olly wished he could turn invisible whenever he liked. When his sister Lily was born, that wish unexpectedly came true, but it wasn’t as fun as he had imagined.
Lily had arrived a month earlier than she was supposed to be and needed to stay in an incubator (保育箱) at the hospital. Mum and Dad spent most of their time with her. Even after she came home, their attention remained fixed on the tiny newborn.
One day, Olly asked Mum to teach him to swim. He hoped it would be a way to reconnect. But Mum, focused on caring for Lily, suggested he ask Dad instead. Upstairs, Dad bent over his laptop, typing. When Olly asked, he replied without looking up-he had too much work to catch up on.
Angry, Olly stamped downstairs. Being a big brother was the worst thing in the world. Bored, he stepped outside the house, though he knew his parents wouldn’t allow him to do so on his own. “Whatever! No one cares.” he thought, sad and lonely, “Olly the Invisible, that’s me.”
He wandered down the street until he came to the house of Mrs. Cooper, his teacher.
“Olly?” Mrs. Cooper called out from her garden. “Are you on your own? Your mum will be worried!”
“No, she won’t. She’s too busy with Lily.” he whispered, “They don’t want me anymore.”
“You don’t really mean that. Come and wait in my house while I rang your dad.”
Olly obediently followed her into her house. He looked around the house as Mrs. Cooper turned away and spoke into the phone in a low voice. Olly knew what that meant. He had turned invisible again.
“Your dad is coming straight away.” Mrs. Cooper told Olly when she had finished on the phone. Olly kept silent in sorrow.

In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson had just moved to Santa Ana, California. Outside his apartment, a homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the guy on his way to work, but they never spoke. What could they possibly have in common?
One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up homeless for more than a decade. Peterson recalled later, “It was strange but I saw beauty on the face of a man who hadn’t shaved or had a shower in probably a year. His story, the life inside of him, inspired me.” And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’portrait (肖像). Faris said yes.
Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. He sells the portraits for a few thousand dollars and puts half into what he calls a “love account” for his models. He then helps people use the money to get back on their feet. As for Faris, he used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical dream.
But there’s more to the finished products than the money. Peterson has discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”
24. Why did Peterson reach out to Faris?
A. He was suddenly curious about him. B. He was touched by a book about love.
C. He couldn’t bear his yelling anymore. D. He needed a model for his artistic work.
25. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. How Peterson evaluated Faris’ story. B. Why Faris failed to pursue his dream.
C. How Peterson and Faris first connected. D. Why Peterson stopped painting for years.
26. Why did Peterson quote people’s words in the last paragraph?
A. To appeal to people to buy his portraits. B. To demonstrate his organization’s influence.
C. To show the importance of helping the homeless. D. To prove the possibility of befriending the homeless.
27. In which section can we probably read this text?
A. People. B. Education. C. Art. D. Entertainment.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述Brian Peterson与无家可归者Matt Faris之间的故事,以及由此引发的创建非营利组织“Faces of Santa Ana”的行动,展现了爱与关怀的力量。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One day, Peterson was relaxing in his living room, reading the book Love Does about the power of love in action, when his quiet was disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book's message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He was going to go outside and introduce himself.(一天,Peterson正在客厅里放松,阅读一本名为《Love Does》(《爱,就要行动》)的书,书中讲述了“行动中爱的力量”。就在这时,那个无家可归者的声音打破了他的宁静。受书中理念的启发,Peterson做了一个出人意料的决定:他要出门去,主动向对方自我介绍。)”可知,Peterson是受到《Love Does》一书中 “行动中爱的力量” 这一理念的启发,才决定主动与Faris接触并自我介绍。故选B。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved to California to pursue a career in music, but he soon fell on hard times and ended up homeless for more than a decade.(在第一次交谈中,Peterson得知这个男子名叫Matt Faris。Faris曾为追求音乐事业搬到加利福尼亚,却很快遭遇困境,此后无家可归的状态持续了十多年。)”以及“And even though Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, hadn’t picked up a paintbrush in about eight years, he found himself asking if he could paint Faris’portrait (肖像). Faris said yes. (尽管Peterson是克利夫兰艺术学院的毕业生,且已近八年没碰过画笔,他却不由自主地问Faris,能否为他画一幅肖像。Faris答应了。)”可推测,该段主要讲述了Peterson与Faris第一次交谈的内容(Faris的经历),以及此次交谈后Peterson提出为Faris画肖像、Faris同意的过程,核心是两人初次建立联系的经过。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Peterson has discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise overlooked. “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see homeless people differently now,’” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen.”(Peterson发现,买家们往往会被画中人物的故事所打动,从中找到共鸣,甚至会与原本可能视而不见的人建立起友谊。“人们经常告诉我,‘以前看到无家可归的人,我会绕到马路对面走。但现在,我看待他们的方式不一样了,’”Peterson说,“这是我当初完全没预料到的。”)”可知,Peterson引用人们的话是为了体现自己创立的“圣安娜面孔”组织及肖像创作工作带来的影响——让人们改变了对无家可归者的固有看法,开始愿意与他们产生联结。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,全文围绕Brian Peterson这一人物展开,讲述了他受书籍启发主动接触无家可归者Matt Faris,进而创立非营利组织“圣安娜面孔”,通过为无家可归者画肖像帮助他们、改变公众对这一群体看法的故事,核心是人物的经历与行动。故选A。
C
Kenyan fig trees can change CO2 into stone, ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died. This means that fig trees planted for their fruit could offer additional climate benefits.
All trees take up CO2 from the air, and most of that carbon typically ends up as structural molecules (分子) used to build the plant. Some fig trees, however, transform CO2 into a compound (化合物) called calcium oxalate, which bacteria in the tree and the soil can then turn into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), the main component of stones. Carbon in mineral form can stay within soil for much longer than it can in the tree’s organic matter.
Mike Rowley at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues have made the discovery on three species of fig tree native to Africa. Trees known to store carbon in this way include the iroko tree, which also grows in Africa, but doesn’t produce food.
The team first identified the fig tree species that produce calcium carbonate by applying weak acid onto the trees and looking for bubbles (气泡) -a sign of CO2 being released from calcium carbonate. Then they measured how far away they could detect calcium carbonate in their trunks and the surrounding soil. They found not only a large part of the trees above ground, but the entire root structures have pretty much turned into calcium carbonate in the soil where it shouldn’t be, in high concentrations. “What I’m shocked at is that the calcium carbonate really went far deeper into the wood structures than I had expected,” says Rowley.
The researchers are now planning to assess the fig trees’ suitability for agriculture by quantifying their water requirements and fruit yields. “So far, numerous species of tree have been identified which can form calcium carbonate. But we suspect there are many more.” Rowley notes, “This means a significant, underexplored opportunity to help reduce the amount of CO2 released as we plant trees for forestry or fruit.”
28. What can we learn about the fig trees mentioned in the first two paragraphs?
A. They can store carbon. B. They release more CO2.
C. They improve soil quality. D. They directly form calcium carbonate.
29. In what way is the fig tree different from the iroko tree?
A. Its climate benefits. B. Its African origin. C. Its fruit-bearing quality. D. Its soil requirement.
30. Why was weak acid used in the research?
A. To identify the species of the fig tree. B. To test for calcium carbonate in the trees.
C. To check the spread of calcium carbonate. D. To measure the amount of the CO2 released.
31. How does Rowley view the prospect of the fig tree research?
A. Depressing. B. Limited. C. Uncertain. D. Promising.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了瑞士苏黎世大学研究人员关于肯尼亚无花果树将二氧化碳转化为碳酸钙的研究发现,详细介绍了研究过程、方法、结果以及潜在的应用价值。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Kenyan fig trees can change CO2 into stone, ensuring that the carbon remains in the soil long after the tree has died.(肯尼亚无花果树能将二氧化碳转化为石头,确保即便树木死亡后,这些碳仍能长期留存于土壤中。)”以及第二段“Some fig trees, however, transform CO2 into a compound (化合物) called calcium oxalate, which bacteria in the tree and the soil can then turn into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), the main component of stones. Carbon in mineral form can stay within soil for much longer than it can in the tree’s organic matter.(然而,部分无花果树会将二氧化碳转化为一种名为草酸钙的化合物,随后树木及土壤中的细菌会将这种化合物进一步转化为碳酸钙——也就是石头的主要成分。以矿物质形式存在的碳,在土壤中的留存时间远长于其以树木有机质形式存在的时间。)”可知,文中提及的无花果树能将二氧化碳转化为矿物质形式的碳(如碳酸钙),并使其长期留存于土壤中,核心是具备储存碳的能力。故选A。

细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Trees known to store carbon in this way include the iroko tree, which also grows in Africa, but doesn’t produce food.(已知能以这种方式储存碳的树木还包括非洲榄仁树,这种树同样生长在非洲,但不结果实。)”可知,非洲榄仁树和无花果树一样都生长在非洲,且都能以将二氧化碳转化为碳酸钙的方式储存碳。但非洲榄仁树不结果实,而无花果树的果实可食用,具有结果实的特性。所以无花果树和非洲榄仁树的不同之处在于结果实的特性。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The team first identified the fig tree species that produce calcium carbonate by applying weak acid onto the trees and looking for bubbles (气泡) -a sign of CO2 being released from calcium carbonate.(研究团队首先通过向树木表面涂抹稀酸并观察气泡(气泡是碳酸钙释放二氧化碳的标志),确定了能产生碳酸钙的无花果树品种。)”可知,研究团队向树木涂抹稀酸,是通过观察是否产生气泡(气泡是碳酸钙释放二氧化碳的标志),来判断树木是否能产生碳酸钙,进而确定目标无花果树品种。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““So far, numerous species of tree have been identified which can form calcium carbonate. But we suspect there are many more.” Rowley notes, “This means a significant, underexplored opportunity to help reduce the amount of CO2 released as we plant trees for forestry or fruit.”(Rowley指出:“迄今为止,我们已发现多个能形成碳酸钙的树种,但我们推测还有更多此类树种尚未被发现。这意味着,在我们为林业或果品种植树木时,存在一个意义重大却尚未充分开发的机会——借助这些树木帮助减少大气中的二氧化碳含量。”)” 可知,Rowley认为目前已发现多种能形成碳酸钙的树种,且推测还有更多未被发现,这意味着在植树固碳(无论是林业种植还是果品种植)方面,存在重大且尚未充分开发的机会,可助力减少二氧化碳排放。其表述体现出对无花果树研究前景的积极态度。故选D。
D
We become bored if something fails to absorb our attention, or when we perceive it as meaningless. This is not to say that something needs to be both engaging and meaningful to keep us interested: doing sudoku might be absorbing but relatively meaningless, while reading a Peppa Pig bedtime story for the 500th time is not engaging but may nonetheless feel like a meaningful thing to do.
In any case, when boredom strikes it should serve as a reminder to do something more engaging or meaningful. If you don’t react appropriately to your boredom, you may find yourself becoming chronically (长期) bored. That is associated with a range of problems, including depression, anxiety, poor life satisfaction and so on.
There is statistical evidence to suggest that chronic boredom is becoming more common, and that this commonness consists with the rise of smartphones. Why might digital media have this effect? Research has shown that the main reason we pick up our phones or check our socials is to relieve boredom, but that the behavior actually worsens it.
Digital devices may hold our attention for a while, but much of what we do online doesn’t feel meaningful. It’s incredibly easy to plan to look at your phone for just five minutes and resurface two hours later with a stranger’s holiday plans or the latest entertainment news. Phones’ effectiveness at throwing us into shallow stimulation blocks us from important self-reflection like “Why am I feeling this?” or “What do I need that I’m not getting?” If we pause and listen, then perhaps we can make a choice rather than being controlled by software engineers.
Next time boredom strikes, don’t try to assuage it instantly and ask ourselves: are we in search of pure entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or our community or something different, something new? The people who choose to embrace (拥抱) boredom, at least for a while, may actually experience less of it. It could even be the first step towards a life that feels more stimulating overall: meaningful, creative and free.
32. How does the author clarify his view in the first paragraph?
A. By defining concepts. B. By giving examples. C. By raising assumptions. D. By analyzing data.
33. What can be inferred about boredom?
A. It is easy to overcome. B. It signals a need for change.
C. It is caused by digital devices D. It always indicates mental illness.
34. What does the underlined word “assuage” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Identify. B. Judge. C. Use. D. Relieve.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Should we embrace boredom? B. Why should we cut digital device use?
C. What is the root of boredom? D. Can we balance boredom and digital life?
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,探讨了无聊感的成因、影响及应对方式。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“This is not to say that something needs to be both engaging and meaningful to keep us interested:doing sudoku might be absorbing but relatively meaningless, while reading a Peppa Pig bedtime story for the 500th time is not engaging but may nonetheless feel like a meaningful thing to do.(这并不是说某件事物必须既引人入胜又有意义才能让我们保持兴趣:做数独可能很吸引人,但相对没有意义,而第500次读《小猪佩奇》的睡前故事可能并不吸引人,但可能仍然觉得这是一件有意义的事情。)”可知,作者通过列举做数独和读《小猪佩奇》睡前故事这两个例子来阐明自己的观点。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In any case, when boredom strikes it should serve as a reminder to do something more engaging or meaningful.(无论如何,当无聊来袭时,它应该提醒我们做一些更有吸引力或更有意义的事情。)”可知,无聊的出现提醒我们做一些更有吸引力或更有意义的事情,即它暗示着我们需要做出改变。故选B。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Next time boredom strikes, don’t try to assuage it instantly and ask ourselves: are we in search of pure entertainment or something more purposeful, an opportunity to connect with friends or our community or something different, something new?(下次无聊来袭时,不要试图立刻assuage它,问问自己:我们是在寻找纯粹的娱乐,还是更有目的的东西,一个与朋友或社区联系的机会,或者别的东西,新的东西?)”及后文“embrace boredom(接纳无聊)”的对比可推知,assuage与“缓解”相关。故选D。
35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“The people who choose to embrace (拥抱) boredom, at least for a while, may actually experience less of it. It could even be the first step towards a life that feels more stimulating overall: meaningful, creative and free.(那些选择至少在一段时间内拥抱无聊的人,实际上可能会经历更少的无聊。这甚至可能是迈向一种整体上感觉更刺激的生活——有意义、有创造力和自由的生活——的第一步。)”结合全文内容可知,本文主要讨论了无聊以及我们是否应该拥抱无聊,所以A项“Should we embrace boredom?(我们应该接受无聊吗?)”适合作为文章标题。故选A。

How to Sleep on a Plane
In addition to being 35,000 feet in the sky, it’s understandable that the noise and light on planes can make it challenging to relax and truly fall asleep. ____36____ With these smart tips for how to sleep on a plane, you’ll be slipping into dreamland in no time.
Book a window seat if you’re flying economy.
For many fliers in standard economy, booking a window seat is the best option for getting some sleep on a plane. It’s easier to fall asleep when you can rest your head on the window, and won’t be woken up by a fellow passenger headed to the bathroom. ____37____
Prioritize sleep before a long-distance flight.
When we cross time zones, our internal clock can struggle to keep up. It can only catch up by around an hour or so each day. If you’re flying into a new time zone, start adjusting your sleep schedule a few days before your flight, in gradual 20- to 30-minute intervals (间隔). ____38____ It depends on which way you’re headed.
____39____
Specifically, limit your use of electronic devices anywhere close to bedtime whether that’s in your preparation phase in the days leading up to your trip or during your time on the plane. The blue light from screens signals to your brain that it’s daytime, making it harder to relax and feel sleepy.
Bring a light-blocking eye mask.
Whether it’s an open shade, inner lighting or your neighbor’s reading light, well-lit flights can prevent restful sleep. ____40____ Just block it out. Invest in a soft, comfortable light-blocking eye mask, which provides just a small amount of pressure to help relax your nerves. It also signals to flight attendants that you don’t want to be disturbed.
A. Limit your use of electronics.
B. But frustrated fliers, don’t worry!
C. Mind the risk the blue light may pose.
D. Want to know how to sleep on a plane with bright light?
E. This means creating an earlier or later bedtime or wake-up time.
F. So your preparation for a long-distance flight should start days before you fly.
G. The disadvantage is that you have to wake a sleeping seatmate when the need arises.
【答案】36. B 37. G 38. E 39. A 40. D

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了宾夕法尼亚州兰卡斯特乡村走读学校(LCDS)的22名学生上个月花了三周时间探索中国,他们在中国的经历不仅限于观光,还包括学习汉语、体验当地传统,这次旅行拓宽了他们的视野,使他们对中国有了更全面的认识。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:上个月,宾夕法尼亚州兰卡斯特乡村走读学校(LCDS)的22名学生花了三周时间探索中国,发现了一个完全不同的中国。China在此处表示“一个(具有某种特点的)中国”,是泛指,且completely是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:对这些学生来说,他们在中国的时光远不止观光。根据语境及last month可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,go的过去式是went。故填went。
【58题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:安德鲁说:“参观完山脉后,我发现学习与中国地理相关的词汇更容易了,因为‘山’这个汉字看起来就像一些山的形状。”根据语境,此处是参观山脉前后学习词汇难易程度的对比,所以用比较级easier。故填easier。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:娜塔莉在了解了中国茶的文化意义后,对其印象深刻。此处应用名词significance,意为“意义”作宾语,不可数。故填significance。
【60题详解】
考查连词。句意:她甚至参加了一次蒙眼品茶活动,在活动中她蒙着眼睛品尝不同的茶,并试图通过味道和香气来辨别它们。根据语境,“tasted different teas with their eyes covered”与“tried to identify them by taste and aroma”是并列关系,所以用and连接。故填and。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:娜塔莉说:“我们以一种比仅仅阅读课本更互动的方式学习。”in a...way是固定短语,意为“以一种……的方式”,所以此处用介词in。故填in。
【62题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:她说:“世界不只是网络上呈现的那样——你需要去亲身经历。”“____7____ is online”是表语从句,从句中缺少主语,表示“……的事物”,应用what引导。故填what。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:LCDS的中文老师王敏慧说:“只在课堂上或通过媒体了解中国的学生无法完全掌握这个国家的全貌。”此处修饰动词grasp,应用副词fully,意为“完全地”。故填fully。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这次旅行使他们能够走出教室,亲身体验中国,拓宽他们的视野。enable sb. to do sth.是固定短语,意为“使某人能够做某事”,所以此处用动词不定式to step。故填to step。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这次旅行使他们能够走出教室,亲身体验中国,拓宽他们的视野句中已有谓语动词enabled,此处应用非谓语动词,this trip与broaden之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词broadening作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填broadening。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Seven-year-old Olly wished he could turn invisible whenever he liked. When his sister Lily was born, that wish unexpectedly came true, but it wasn’t as fun as he had imagined.
Lily had arrived a month earlier than she was supposed to be and needed to stay in an incubator (保育箱) at the hospital. Mum and Dad spent most of their time with her. Even after she came home, their attention remained fixed on the tiny newborn.
One day, Olly asked Mum to teach him to swim. He hoped it would be a way to reconnect. But Mum, focused on caring for Lily, suggested he ask Dad instead. Upstairs, Dad bent over his laptop, typing. When Olly asked, he replied without looking up-he had too much work to catch up on.
Angry, Olly stamped downstairs. Being a big brother was the worst thing in the world. Bored, he stepped outside the house, though he knew his parents wouldn’t allow him to do so on his own. “Whatever! No one cares.” he thought, sad and lonely, “Olly the Invisible, that’s me.”
He wandered down the street until he came to the house of Mrs. Cooper, his teacher.
“Olly?” Mrs. Cooper called out from her garden. “Are you on your own? Your mum will be worried!”
“No, she won’t. She’s too busy with Lily.” he whispered, “They don’t want me anymore.”
“You don’t really mean that. Come and wait in my house while I rang your dad.”
Olly obediently followed her into her house. He looked around the house as Mrs. Cooper turned away and spoke into the phone in a low voice. Olly knew what that meant. He had turned invisible again.
“Your dad is coming straight away.” Mrs. Cooper told Olly when she had finished on the phone. Olly kept silent in sorrow.

【答案】
Mrs. Cooper knew he needed some comfort. She sat down beside Olly and gently put her arm around him. “You know, having a new baby in the family can be a big change,” she said softly. “Your parents still love you very much. They’re just a bit overwhelmed right now with taking care of Lily. But you’re an important part of their lives, too. You’re special, Olly, and being a big brother is a wonderful thing.” Olly listened, his eyes fixed on the floor. Slowly, he began to feel a little better.
Mrs. Cooper stood up to open the door. Olly’s dad rushed in, looking worried. When he saw Olly, he let out a sigh of relief. “Olly, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize you felt this way,” Dad said, his voice full of regret. “We love you more than anything. Let’s go home and we’ll spend some special time together, just the two of us.” Olly smiled for the first time that day. As they walked out hand in hand, Olly knew that he wasn’t invisible anymore.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了小男孩Olly因为家中有了一个小妹妹而心理上有所落差,感到孤独,得到了Cooper太太的宽慰从而有所缓解的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Cooper太太知道他需要安慰。”以及第二段首句内容“Cooper太太起身去开门。”可知,第一段可描写Cooper太太安慰Olly说父母很爱他,而Olly心中也感到好多了。此时传来了敲门声。
②由第二段首句内容“Cooper太太起身去开门。”可知,第二段可描写Olly的爸爸跑了进来,表达了对Olly的爱。
2.续写线索:Cooper太太坐下来,搂住了Olly开始安慰他,她告诉Olly父母很爱他——可是新生儿的出生让父母照顾不暇,所以忽略了他——听到这些,Olly感到好受多了——此时,传来了敲门声——Cooper太太打开门,原来Olly的爸爸找来了——他表达了对Olly的关心和爱,而Olly也明白了父母的爱,他知道了,以后自己不会隐身了
