It ____32____ an independent review of security after items including gold jewellery and gems of semi-precious stones and glass dating from the 15th century BC to the 19th century AD were found to be missing, stolen or damaged. George Osborne, the museum’s chair, said: “The trustees of the British Museum were extremely ____33____ when we learned earlier this year that items of the collection had been stolen.” The trustees have taken ____34____ action to deal with the situation, working with the team at the museum. We called in the police, imposed emergency measures to increase security, and set up an independent review into what happened and lessons to learn. Our priority is now three-fold: first, to ____35____ the stolen items; second, to find out what, if anything, could have been done to stop this; and third, to do whatever it takes, with investment in security and collection records, to ____36____ this doesn’t happen again. It’s a sad day for all who love our British Museum, but we’re determined to ____37____ the wrongs and use the experience to build a stronger museum. Hartwig Fischer, the museum’s director, said: “This is a highly unusual incident. We take the safeguarding of all the items in our care ____38____. The museum apologizes for what has happened, but we have now brought an end to this — and we are determined to put things right.

Or are you more like Michael Nicholson, who can’t stop learning? He currently has 30 degrees including 22 master’s and a doctorate! If you’re also ____41____ about studying, you might be a philomath — a person who loves to learn and study. The word comes from Greek with “phil” meaning “a lover of” and “math” meaning “learning”. Humans are all philomaths to an extent — our brain is ____42____ to be curious. To make sense of the world, we are eager to learn and understand. But it is also because of something called neoteny. This is a term that refers to the adolescent ____43____ of some animals, including humans, being ____44____ into adulthood. One of these traits is neuroplasticity, whose function is to make our brain stay flexible and give us the ability to learn throughout our lives. Many creatures which are ____45____ close to us can’t do this and only learn during their adolescence. But for every person who loves learning, there are plenty who can’t stand it. Lots of people remember their school days as being boring or even ____46____. Why is this? Educational experts have suggested that if a concept or idea is too complex or dull, it becomes harder to link old and new ideas together. If that’s the case, we lose ____47____ and absorb less information. As a result, what people are ____48____ exposed to at school may lead to them avoiding learning opportunities in later life. So, don’t let a bad educational experience prevent you learning something new as an adult. Evolution has ____49____ us into lifelong learners, so take advantage of your ____50____ and discover your inner philomath. Who knows what you could achieve? III. Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. (30) (A) In the UK, travel is an enriching life experience, because it is not simply a pursuit of ___51___ but also “character-building”. Most of the people I know here at university ___52___ the desire to travel and escape the stress surrounding us. But I don’t think, as UK students, we can blame our addiction to international travel simply on a stressful life. Yes, I have a lot to handle and it’s a fine ___53___ act managing my part-time job, my degree and my social life to a perfect level. In a truly open world, we can get anywhere, see anything and experience every culture under the sun, at the click of a button, the purchase of a ticket. Many people I met while working in China were surprised at the number of countries I’d travelled to. Compared to friends and family I consider myself vastly ___54___. I’ve never set foot across the pond in the US and Canada, let alone South America and even within Europe my checklist of destinations is far from ___55___. I was also met by surprise at how little travelling I had done within my own borders. This was something I had not really considered before. How much of my own country had I really seen and experienced? To those from a place as vast and ___56___ as China, Britain was really so small in comparison, and so to have spent 20 years there and not seen every part of it was quite surprising. I had a conversation with a Chinese colleague over the reasoning behind our use of golden Cotswold ___57___ which sounds dull for most people. As a student of history, I found anything historical fascinating. However it was not the stone within British cities I found interesting. What was ___58___ was that it was something I had never even considered, and yet here was someone crazy about something I had ___59___ taken for granted. We continued our discussion, yet I was left ____60____ that I could not answer her question. In China, as well as a wealth of new culture that fascinated me, I discovered that there were parts of the UK’s culture, history, the very structure of my identity that were so different, so unique from China that I also ____61____ a newly found interest in my own heritage. In this respect, travelling enables you with two things. Firstly you develop a(n) ____62____ with new cultures, understanding customs, experiencing cuisines and ____63____ the sights and smells of every new city. For many employers this ____64____ to new locations is seen as amazing in your personal resume. But besides increased ____65____, through international, cross-cultural conversations, you develop an interest in your own history, culture, and customs. 51.

Customers could ____66____ cute fish toy accompanied with fluffy (毛绒绒的) lemons and soft peas instead of food. The cheapest item was priced at $25, twice the cost of a real meal. This ____67____ concept not only showcases the global surge in soft toy popularity but also highlights a new trend in consumer behavior. The world has gone ____68____ for soft toys. On TikTok videos tagged Plushies, featuring various stuffed creatures and objects, have been viewed around 8bn times. Such is the ____69____ that shops have experienced stampedes (汹涌人潮) and the Jellycat pop-up required visitors to book appointments in advance. Labubu dolls, made by Chinese company Pop Mart, are particularly popular across Asia, illustrating the widespread ____70____ of these soft toys. Interestingly, it’s not young children driving this demand but “kidults” aged 12 and above. In 2023, kidults ____71____ over a quarter of toy sales, surpassing preschoolers as the largest age group for toy purchases. The craze began during the pandemic when teenagers and young adults, stuck at home, sought ____72____ in cute playthings. Lucy Dray, owner of an online soft-toy shop called Baby Beans, notes that plushies (毛绒玩具) bring happiness and comfort—states often hard to find nowadays. Social media pop psychologists advocate ____73____ with one’s younger self through these toys, with some influencers claiming collecting luxury teddy bears heals their inner child. With many individuals ____74____ parenthood until their late 20s or early 30s, kidults have more income to spend on themselves. Prices for soft toys range from 10 to 250, with limited editions fetching thousands on platforms like eBay. Collectors re not put off by steep prices; if anything, _____75_____ adds appeal. Obtaining a rare plushie can be similar to securing a hit concert ticket or a prized sports trading card, offering bragging (吹嘘) rights. Celebrity support from figures such as Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga further boost _____76_____. Some critics argue that the plushie craze signifies an infantilized generation. _____77_____, trivial (细小) treasures have thrived throughout history — from Cabbage Patch Kids in the 1980s to Beanie Babies in the 1990s. Dave Neale of Cambridge University suggests while specific toys may lose novelty over time, play itself remains broad and _____78_____, unlikely to fade away anytime soon. For the time being, plushies remain _____79_____ in bedrooms worldwide. When Paco the Salamander, a toy influencer, joked on TikTok that she was “ready to grow up” and get rid of her sizeable plushie collection, her followers _____80_____ that “you’re never too old” to own them. As we move forward, the enduring charm of soft toys continues to captivate audiences of all ages, offering comfort, joy, and a touch of nostalgia in a rapidly changing world. 66.

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. (40) (A) Food is so primal, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends.  — Jasmine Heiler “My mum makes the best cooked chicken you will ever taste!” Sound familiar? How about “We had a great dinner last night with our family”? Or, maybe this one: “I spent the weekend baking cakes with my grandmother”? Wherever there is food, it seems families are not far behind. The dining table has always been a symbol of good times and even better company, so it’s only natural that some of the best moments of our lives are shared over a hot pot or around a baked dinner. Countless similarities exist between preparing food and planning one’s life, and the lesson we must learn is that there is no such thing as instant success. Proof Is in the Pudding! makes these similarities easier to see by exploring the right ingredients for a happy life, and a perfect pudding. Many of us have had the miserable experience of a rainy weekend at home. Likewise, many of us have had boredom turned into entertainment by cooking with a few family members. In Angel Food Flop (失败) we learn, flop or not, it’s having fun that matters. Food is a treat for the senses. And a taste, like a smell, is capable of conjuring up vivid memories of the past. Proust explores the relationship between taste and memory in Remembrance of Things Past. Be careful — one tiny crumb (碎屑) can result in hours of reminiscing (缅怀).  Food plays such an important part in everyone’s life because it is tightly linked to our memories our friends and our family. It gives our body energy in more ways than we will ever know. There is no other way to say it; food really is the heart of life. 81. What Jasmine Heiler said suggests that ________. A. food is the important and necessary part in our life B. we should share food with strangers C. the dining table can make strangers become good friends D. if you want to make friends, you must eat with strangers 82. How does the author feel when he tells about sharing food with family members? A. Satisfied. B. Pessimistic. C. Proud. D. Joyful. 83. What does the underlined phrase “conjuring up” probably mean? A. recalling B. connecting C. reminding D. mixing 84. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Success Doesn’t Come All of a Sudden. B. Boredom Can Be Changed into Entertainment. C. Food Is a Treat for the Senses. D. Food Is the Heart of Life.

Keep In Touch With Teen Ink (C) In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes to they can get into the college of our first choice. I’ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids’ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve come up with various justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn’t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford. We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough prizes to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria (歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausible-- and mostly wrong. We haven’t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don’t systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools, On two measures- professors’ feedback and the number of essay exams selective schools do slightly worse. By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates’ lifetime earnings. The gain is considered at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke (偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from higher-status schools. Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not life’s only competition. In the next competition--the job market and graduate school-the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t. So, parents, lighten up. The stakes (风险) have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize (合理化) our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints. 89. Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars? A. They have the final say in which university their children are to attend. B. They know best which universities are most suitable for their children. C. They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves. D. They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application. 90. What does the author mean by “kids count more than their colleges” Line 1, para.4? A. Continuing education is more important to a person’s success. B. Kids’ actual abilities are more important than their college background. C. A person’s happiness should be valued more than their education. D. What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements. 91. What does Krueger’s study tell us? A. Getting into Ph.D. programs may be more competitive than getting into college. B. Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores. C. Connections built in prestigious universities may be sustained long after graduation. D. Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs. 92. According to the passage, one possible result of pushing children into elite universities is that ________. A. they experience more job dissatisfaction after graduation B. they earn less than their peers from other institutions C. they turn out to be less competitive in the job market D. they overemphasize their qualifications in job application (D) Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). During its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens. In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mention of France’s spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, the government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of the working class, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution. The Marquis, one of the book’s characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s. The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered. Nobles may have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789. Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the king’s troops. Dickens does include some accurate details, however, such as the crowd’s finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack’s executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. The scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine at work. Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give readers some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror, which lasted about a year. During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thousand without a trial. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility. 93 What does the word “distorted” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Discussed. B. Revealed. C. Provided. D. Twisted. 94. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. A wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiers. B. The nobles’ mistreating and killing people is the main cause of the revolution. C. About thirty thousand people lost their lives in the course of the Rule of Terror. D.

Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The complex relationship between music and memory is profound. Music acts as a strong trigger for emotions and memories, transporting individuals back to specific moments in the past. Long-term memory splits into explicit and implicit types. Explicit one involves conscious recall, like academic learning and personal experiences. Implicit memory works automatically, like playing instruments or remembering lyrics. ____97____ It often lasts a lifetime even without practice. Diseases like Alzheimer’s mainly affect explicit memory systems. ____98____ This leads to a liking for familiar pieces due to the mere exposure effect. Major record labels use it through frequent airplay to boost record sales. Implicit memory works like classical conditioning, where an event, emotion, and song become linked. Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” is strongly connected with Princess Diana as he performed it at her funeral. Music-triggered memories often come from important life stages, especially between the ages of 10 and 30, known as the “reminiscence bump.” Music from this time is more likely to be linked with vivid memories compared to other periods. The teenage years and twenties are crucial for forming music preferences. ____99____ It helps them recall vivid memories from their youth. Despite severe memory loss, people with dementia often remember music well. Research shows self-chosen music can bring back positive memories that might otherwise be hard to recall. Music helps unlock non-musical memories and improves communication among older adults with Alzheimer’s disease, a sort of disease concerning one’s long-term memory. Listening to music from important life events, like weddings or funerals, can bring about deeply nostalgic and emotional experiences. ____100____ A. It is now widely used to cure lots of severe diseases. B. This emotional connection allows individuals to recall details of their past. C. Music’s ability to reach the minds of Alzheimer’s patients is remarkable. D. Explicit memory fades without active recall, but implicit memory is durable. E. Implicit memory can form through passive listening to background music. F. Remembering things is often hard, but music helps bring back memories linked to a song. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 七宝中学高一开学练习 I.

Directions: Read the following three passages. 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. (40) (A) Food is so primal, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends.  — Jasmine Heiler “My mum makes the best cooked chicken you will ever taste!” Sound familiar? How about “We had a great dinner last night with our family”? Or, maybe this one: “I spent the weekend baking cakes with my grandmother”? Wherever there is food, it seems families are not far behind. The dining table has always been a symbol of good times and even better company, so it’s only natural that some of the best moments of our lives are shared over a hot pot or around a baked dinner. Countless similarities exist between preparing food and planning one’s life, and the lesson we must learn is that there is no such thing as instant success. Proof Is in the Pudding! makes these similarities easier to see by exploring the right ingredients for a happy life, and a perfect pudding. Many of us have had the miserable experience of a rainy weekend at home. Likewise, many of us have had boredom turned into entertainment by cooking with a few family members. In Angel Food Flop (失败) we learn, flop or not, it’s having fun that matters. Food is a treat for the senses. And a taste, like a smell, is capable of conjuring up vivid memories of the past. Proust explores the relationship between taste and memory in Remembrance of Things Past. Be careful — one tiny crumb (碎屑) can result in hours of reminiscing (缅怀).  Food plays such an important part in everyone’s life because it is tightly linked to our memories, our friends and our family. It gives our body energy in more ways than we will ever know. There is no other way to say it; food really is the heart of life. 81. What Jasmine Heiler said suggests that ________. A. food is the important and necessary part in our life B. we should share food with strangers C. the dining table can make strangers become good friends D. if you want to make friends, you must eat with strangers 82. How does the author feel when he tells about sharing food with family members? A. Satisfied. B. Pessimistic. C. Proud. D. Joyful. 83. What does the underlined phrase “conjuring up” probably mean? A. recalling B. connecting C. reminding D. mixing 84. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Success Doesn’t Come All of a Sudden. B. Boredom Can Be Changed into Entertainment. C. Food Is a Treat for the Senses. D. Food Is the Heart of Life. 【答案】81. A 82. D 83. A 84. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章通过引用Jasmine Heiler的话以及日常生活中的例子，阐述了食物在人们生活中的重要性，强调食物与记忆、朋友和家庭紧密相连，是生活的核心。 81题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Food is so primal, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends. — Jasmine Heiler(食物是我们生活中如此原始、如此重要的一部分，通常仅仅是与陌生人分享食谱就能将他们变成好朋友。——Jasmine Heiler)”可知，Jasmine Heiler说的话表明食物是我们生活中重要且必要的部分。故选A项。 【82题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““My mum makes the best cooked chicken you will ever taste!” Sound familiar? How about “We had a great dinner last night with our family”? Or, maybe this one: “I spent the weekend baking cakes with my grandmother”?(“我妈妈做的烧鸡是你吃过的最好吃的!”听起来很熟悉吗?“我们昨晚和家人吃了一顿丰盛的晚餐”怎么样?或者，也许是这个：“我和祖母一起烤了一整个周末的蛋糕”?)”和第三段“Wherever there is food, it seems families are not far behind. The dining table has always been a symbol of good times and even better company, so it’s only natural that some of the best moments of our lives are shared over a hot pot or around a baked dinner.(无论哪里有食物，家人似乎就在不远处。餐桌一直是美好时光和更佳陪伴的象征，所以，我们生活中一些最美好的时刻是在火锅旁或烤晚餐时分享的，这是很自然的)”可推知，作者在讲述与家人分享食物时，描述了美好的场景和感受，因此作者是感到快乐的。故选D项。 【83题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后文“vivid memories of the past(对过去的生动记忆)”以及“Be careful — one tiny crumb (碎屑) can result in hours of reminiscing (缅怀).(小心——一小块碎屑就能让人缅怀好几个小时)”可推知，食物的味道能让人回忆起过去，故划线短语“conjuring up”意为“回忆起”，与A项“recalling”意思相近。故选A项。 【84题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Food plays such an important part in everyone’s life because it is tightly linked to our memories, our friends and our family. It gives our body energy in more ways than we will ever know. There is no other way to say it; food really is the heart of life.(食物在每个人的生活中都扮演着如此重要的角色，因为它与我们的记忆、朋友和家人紧密相连。它以我们永远无法知道的方式为我们的身体提供能量。没有其他说法了；食物确实是生活的核心)”可知，本文主要强调了食物在人们生活中的重要性，指出食物与记忆、朋友和家庭紧密相连，是生活的核心。故D项“Food Is the Heart of Life(食物是生活的核心)”最适合作文章标题。故选D项。 (B) WE NEED 1.Your NAME, YEAR OF BIRTH, HOME ADDRESS/ CITY/ STATE/ PHONE NUMBER, SCHOOL NAME (and English teacher) and EMAIL ADDRESS so we can email you if you are published.

We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes to they can get into the college of our first choice. I’ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kids’ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve come up with various justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn’t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford. We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough prizes to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria (歇斯底里) is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. All that is plausible-- and mostly wrong. We haven’t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don’t systematically employ better instructional approaches than less selective schools, On two measures- professors’ feedback and the number of essay exams selective schools do slightly worse. By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates’ lifetime earnings. The gain is considered at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke (偶然). A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from higher-status schools. Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not life’s only competition. In the next competition--the job market and graduate school-the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t. So, parents, lighten up. The stakes (风险) have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize (合理化) our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints. 89. Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars? A. They have the final say in which university their children are to attend. B. They know best which universities are most suitable for their children. C. They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves. D. They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application. 90. What does the author mean by “kids count more than their colleges” Line 1, para.4? A. Continuing education is more important to a person’s success. B. Kids’ actual abilities are more important than their college background. C. A person’s happiness should be valued more than their education. D. What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements. 91. What does Krueger’s study tell us? A. Getting into Ph.D. programs may be more competitive than getting into college. B. Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores. C. Connections built in prestigious universities may be sustained long after graduation. D. Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs. 92. According to the passage, one possible result of pushing children into elite universities is that ________. A. they experience more job dissatisfaction after graduation B. they earn less than their peers from other institutions C. they turn out to be less competitive in the job market D. they overemphasize their qualifications in job application 【答案】89. C 90. B 91. D 92. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕大学录取战争中的家长行为、名校崇拜的现象及其背后的真相展开论述，对这一现象进行了深入的分析和批判，并给出了作者自己的建议和看法。 【89题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes to they can get into the college of our first choice.(在大学录取这场战役中，我们家长才是真正的战士。我们催促孩子取得好成绩，参加SAT备考课程，并打造简历，以便他们能进入我们首选的大学。)”以及“We see our kids’ college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our obsession is more about us than them.(我们把孩子的大学背景视为一个奖品，证明我们把他们培养得有多好。但我们不愿承认，我们的痴迷更多是关于我们自己，而不是他们。)”可知，家长比孩子更关心他们上哪所大学，因此成为了这场“战争”中的真正战士。故选C。 【90题详解】 推理判断题。根据该句下文“Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhere. Getting into college is not life’s only competition. In the next competition — the job market and graduate school — the results may change.(进入耶鲁可能代表着智慧、才华和雄心壮志。但这并不是唯一的指标，而且其重要性正在下降。原因是，很多类似的人都去了其他学校。进入大学并不是人生中的唯一竞争。在接下来的竞争——就业市场和研究生院中——结果可能会发生变化。)”可知，进入好的大学确实很重要，但是步入社会后，实际能力可能更重要。故选B。 【91题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t.(普林斯顿大学经济学家Alan Krueger研究了一个顶尖博士项目的录取情况。高分GRE成绩有助于解释谁能被录取；而名校学位则没有这种作用。)”可知，Krueger的研究发现，对于申请顶尖法学院的学生来说，本科学校的名气并没有像人们普遍认为的那样重要，即使本科是名校，也不能保证进入研究生项目。故选D。 【92题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints.(我们对孩子强加的雄心可能会让他们中的一些人进入哈佛大学，但也可能让他们为失望埋下伏笔。一项研究发现，在其他条件相同的情况下，高度选择性学校的毕业生对工作的满意度更低。他们可能已经习惯了处于顶尖地位，因此任何低于这一标准的结果都会让他们感到失望。)”可知，家长对孩子进入名校的过度关注可能导致孩子没有真正准备好面对现实世界，从而可能在毕业后对工作和职业有更多的不满。故选A。 (D) Charles Dickens’ novel A Tale of Two Cities is set in the years before and during the French Revolution (1789 - 1799). During its course, French revolutionaries brought down the empire and established a republic of free and equal citizens. In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution. At the beginning, Dickens notes that, in 1775, France was busy spending money. This mention of France’s spending touches briefly on what is perhaps the major cause of the French Revolution. Before the revolution, the government often borrowed money because it spent more than it raised in taxes. The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of the working class, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution. The Marquis, one of the book’s characters, ill-treats and kills many people. Thus, he represents the nobles who mistreat the lower classes. One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s. The reviewer pointed out that the government would have punished nobles who mistreated or murdered. Nobles may have been guilty of other evils, however, such as not feeding the starving masses after bad weather ruined crops in 1789. Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the king’s troops. Dickens does include some accurate details, however, such as the crowd’s finding only seven prisoners and freeing them and the pack’s executing (处决) the prison administrator and sticking his head on a post. The scene that the women knit (编织) as they watch the executions may seem to be an odd detail, but actually many women did knit stockings for the war effort as they watched the killing machine at work. Dickens’ descriptions of the steady stream of sentenced people into prison and the carts taking them to their deaths give readers some idea of the frequency with which officials jailed and executed people during the Rule of Terror, which lasted about a year. During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thousand without a trial. Those executed included people who opposed the revolution, people who offended the revolutionaries, and even some revolutionaries. About 15 percent were members of the ministry or nobility. 93. What does the word “distorted” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Discussed. B. Revealed. C. Provided. D. Twisted. 94. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. A wild crowd rushed into the Bastille to fight with the royal soldiers. B. The nobles’ mistreating and killing people is the main cause of the revolution. C. About thirty thousand people lost their lives in the course of the Rule of Terror. D. Women were forced to work for the war supplies while watching people killed. 95. What can be inferred from the passage? A. Dickens was once among the revolutionaries storming the Bastille. B. There was an extreme disorder and horror during the revolution. C. Nobles of those days in France were loaded with heavy social responsibilities. D. Classic literary works may serve as history textbooks to a great degree. 96. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. The Collapse of the French Empire B. Unknown Facts during the Rule of Terror C. Dickens’ Description of the French Revolution D. A Critical View on A Tale of Two Cities 【答案】93. D 94. C 95. B 96. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述查尔斯·狄更斯在他的著作《双城记》中歪曲了法国大革命的一些细节，不过，狄更斯在《双城记》中也包含了一些准确的细节。 【93题详解】 词义猜测题。由第二段最后一句“The increased spending and borrowing made many people’s blood boil, yet Dickens focused instead on the nobility’s oppression and exploitation of the working class, including peasants, as the causes of the revolution.”可知，不断增长的开销和借款使得很多人异常愤怒，但是狄更斯相反地关注贵族的压迫和对工人阶级，包括农民的剥削，作为大革命的原因。由此可知，狄更斯对法国大革命的一些细节是和实际情况不相符合的，即歪曲了细节。结合选项可知，选项D正确。 【94题详解】 细节理解题。由第五段的第二句“During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thousand without a trial.”可知，在这恐怖时期，政府下狱了大约250,000人，审判并处死了大约17,000人，没有审判直接处死的大约由12,000人。由此可知，在这恐怖时期，总共大约由29,000人被处死。结合选项可知，选项C正确。 【95题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段的第一句“Dickens’ account of the storming of the Bastille fails to mention that the gang that stormed the prison was looking for bullets and bombs to use in defense against a possible attack by the king’s troops.”和第五段的第二句“During the Terror, the government jailed about 250 thousand people, tried (审判) and killed about 17 thousand, and executed about 12 thousand without a trial.”可知，狄更斯在对巴士底狱的猛攻的描述没有提及冲进监狱的这群人正在寻找子弹和炸弹，用来对抗国王军队的可能攻击。在这恐怖时期，政府下狱了大约250,000人，审判并处死了大约17,000人，没有审判直接处死的大约由12,000人。由此可知，大革命期间发生的巴士底狱猛攻表明了当时的骚扰，政府处理的人数更是表明当时的惨状。结合选项可知，选项B正确。 【96题详解】 主旨大意题。由第二段第一句“In reading the work, one sees that Dickens distorted some details of the French Revolution.”，第三段第三句“One reviewer criticized this picture as an unfair representation of French society in the mid-1700s.”以及第四段的第二句“Dickens does include some accurate details”可知，在读这本著作的时候，有人发现狄更斯歪曲了法国大革命的一些细节。一名评论家批评这个画面是对17世纪中期的法国社会的不公平代表。不过，狄更斯确实包含有一些准确的细节。由此可知，本文是对狄更斯的著作《双城记》进行客观的评论。结合选项可知，选项D正确。 【点睛】推理判断题的核心：在文中能找到依据去推断选项的成立，选项和文中信息之间的关系绝对不是简单的重复，或者脱离文中信息，而是文中信息深一层暗含的意义。所以解答推理判断题，最好以文中信息表达的意思为基础，去分析对比选项和文中信息之间的相关性。例如本小题3，由第四段的第一句描述的“狄更斯在对巴士底狱的猛攻的描述没有提及冲进监狱的这群人正在寻找子弹和炸弹，用来对抗国王军队的可能攻击。”可知，人们攻击监狱和选项B中的“disorder”相关，第五段的第二句描述的“在这恐怖时期，政府下狱了大约250,000人，审判并处死了大约17,000人，没有审判直接处死的大约由12,000人。”，政府处死的数量和选项B中的“horror”相关。故选B。 Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need. The complex relationship between music and memory is profound. Music acts as a strong trigger for emotions and memories, transporting individuals back to specific moments in the past. Long-term memory splits into explicit and implicit types. Explicit one involves conscious recall, like academic learning and personal experiences. Implicit memory works automatically, like playing instruments or remembering lyrics. ____97____ It often lasts a lifetime even without practice. Diseases like Alzheimer’s mainly affect explicit memory systems. ____98____ This leads to a liking for familiar pieces due to the mere exposure effect. Major record labels use it through frequent airplay to boost record sales. Implicit memory works like classical conditioning, where an event, emotion, and song become linked. Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” is strongly connected with Princess Diana as he performed it at her funeral. Music-triggered memories often come from important life stages, especially between the ages of 10 and 30, known as the “reminiscence bump.” Music from this time is more likely to be linked with vivid memories compared to other periods. The teenage years and twenties are crucial for forming music preferences. ____99____ It helps them recall vivid memories from their youth. Despite severe memory loss, people with dementia often remember music well. Research shows self-chosen music can bring back positive memories that might otherwise be hard to recall.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了音乐与记忆之间复杂而深刻的关系，特别是音乐如何触发情感和记忆，以及不同类型的记忆（明确记忆和隐含记忆）如何与音乐相关联。 【97题详解】 根据上文“Long-term memory splits into explicit and implicit types. Explicit one involves conscious recall, like academic learning and personal experiences. Implicit memory works automatically, like playing instruments or remembering lyrics.(长期记忆分为明确记忆和隐含记忆两种类型。明确记忆涉及有意识的回忆，如学术学习和个人经历。隐含记忆则是自动的，比如演奏乐器或记住歌词。)”可知，本段主要介绍了明确记忆和隐含记忆这两种记忆，所以接下来应该介绍这两种记忆的特点。选项D“明确记忆如果不主动回忆就会消退，但隐含记忆是持久的”符合语境。故选D。 【98题详解】 根据下文“This leads to a liking for familiar pieces due to the mere exposure effect. Major record labels use it through frequent airplay to boost record sales.(这导致了对熟悉曲目的喜爱，仅仅因为暴露效应。主要唱片公司通过频繁的电台播放来利用这一点，以提高唱片销量。)”可知，本段主要讲述了一种会导致人们喜欢熟悉曲目的记忆，再结合下文提到的“唱片公司通过频繁的电台播放来利用这一点”，可推测出这种记忆应该是通过被动听背景音乐形成的，选项E“通过被动听背景音乐可以形成隐含记忆”符合语境。下文中的“it”指代的就是选项E中的“implicit memory”。故选E。 【99题详解】 根据上文“Music from this time is more likely to be linked with vivid memories compared to other periods. The teenage years and twenties are crucial for forming music preferences.(与其他时期相比，这一时期的音乐更有可能与生动的记忆联系在一起。十几岁和二十几岁的时候是形成音乐偏好的关键时期。)”和下文“It helps them recall vivid memories from their youth.(它帮助他们回忆起年轻时的生动记忆。)”可知，本段主要讲述了某一事物有助于人们回忆年轻时的记忆，再结合上文提到的“这一时期的音乐更有可能与生动的记忆联系在一起”，可推测出这个事物指的就是“音乐”，选项F“记忆事情往往很难，但音乐有助于带回与歌曲相关的记忆”符合语境，选项中的“bring back memories linked to a song”与下文的“recall vivid memories from their youth”相呼应。故选F。 【100题详解】 根据上文“Listening to music from important life events, like weddings or funerals, can bring about deeply nostalgic and emotional experiences.(听来自重要生活事件的音乐，比如婚礼或葬礼，可以带来深深的怀旧和情感体验。)”可知，本段主要讲述了音乐可以带来深深的情感体验，所以接下来应该讲述这种情感体验的作用，选项B“这种情感联系使人们能够回忆起他们过去的细节”符合语境。故选B。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
