VI. Guided Writing (25分)
95. Good morning, everyone! Our group believes that learning foreign languages is still necessary in the age of artificial intelligence. Firstly, language learning goes beyond communication; it helps us understand different cultures and perspectives. Secondly, while AI can translate, it can't replace human interaction and the personal connections we make through language. Lastly, learning languages enhances our cognitive abilities and keeps our minds sharp. In short, AI is a tool, but human language skills are irreplaceable. Thank you!

Section B
Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Using renewables seems to cut carbon more than nuclear. Nations that embraced renewable forms of energy have significantly cut their carbon emissions, but 31 pursuing nuclear power have failed to do so, researchers have found.
Nuclear and renewables are seen as two key ways for governments to decarbonize(去碳), but the question of whether one is more effective for dealing with climate change 32 (not address) fully. With several countries on the brink of deciding whether 33 (back) new nuclear power plants to meet their carbon targets, the answer to this question matters
To find out, Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex and his colleagues looked at carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and GDP over 25 years. They found that in 117 countries that had been using renewables, CO2 emissions per capita(人均地)dropped from 0.69 tonnes(公吨)on average between 1990 and 2004 to 0.61 tonnes between 2000 and 2014 and 34 these latter figures included a further six countries.
During the same periods, however, the 30 countries that had been using nuclear power largely stayed flat, shifting from an average 0.52 tonnes of Co2 emissions per capita to 0.51. The two groups of countries overlap because some fall into both. Renewables included wind, solar, hydroelectric, and biomass energy. “If you’re focusing on 35 we can do to reduce emissions in the next 15 years, 36 (pursue) renewables instead of nuclear,” says Sovacool.
The reason 37 the results is not clear — the analysis found a connection, not a causation—but Sovacool has ideas. Nuclear power is restricted due to agreements 38 (limit) the spread of nuclear weapons 39 material from reactors (核反应堆) can be used to make bombs. Renewables are not, enabling more countries to learn from one another, such as Germany benefiting from Chinese economies of scale on solar. Other reasons for this 40 be that renewables are cheaper and quicker to build and more socially acceptable, says Sovacool.
Section C
A.maximum B.source C. keeping D.complex E. sound F. excessive
G. simplest H. appeal I. highlight J. streamlining K. core
MUJI products came into being in the early 1980s as a result of a new mood, calling for a return to simplicity in daily life. Our aim was — and still is — to provide our customers all over the world with the fundamental things they need to live a busy, modern, urban lifestyle. These things must be made from good, 41 materials, with no unnecessary frills or fancies and must sell at a reasonable price. Our clothes must feel good on, our stationery must be practical and our household goods must be easy to use. This may seem elementary but it has always been a primary goal to ensure that MUJI customers should never pay for what they can’t use—i. e. added extras and fancy packaging. So, at MUJI you’ll find no 42 prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods.
At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different. Moreover, our products are made from materials which we 43 on a global scale, not because we think an exotic origin sounds more exciting than one on our doorstep but because we are committed to using the best available material, wherever it comes from. Using these superior materials, we design our products so that their simplicity brings out their inherent 44 , both of the material they’re made from and the products themselves. Finally, we present our products in the 45 of packaging — if any at all ——which neither masks nor makes them look any more than they are. As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more 46 , the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI.
The Company’s basic principle is to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. Through the careful selection of materials, 47 manufacturing processes and simplifying our packaging, we have continually introduced high quality MUJI brand products onto the market, at lower than usual prices. For the materials, the 48 selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.
When packaging products, MUJI seeks not to decorate them but rather to 49 their natural colors and shapes. For this reason, we use bulk packaging and place products in plain, uniform containers. Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in 50 with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste. Thus, all MUJI products appear on store shelves in simple packaging bearing only product-related information and a price tag.

Section B
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.
(A)
Some classrooms in Taft Elementary in California have a common weakness: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Earnest’s fifth grade classroom. “Most of the day, my students are inside and don’t really see any green trees or grass,” Earnest told CBS News. He worries that the dull classroom environment has harmful effects on his students.
Rodriguez, a former school psychologist (a professional in school to support students’ learning and teachers’ teaching) and now a photographer, is focusing on landscape photography. He knows clearly the effect which nature has on mental health and told CBS News that the lack of sight of trees or grasses is a problem and being in and around nature does students much good, including helping to improve their test scores and control over moods.
Rodriguez had managed to design hospital walls where he could print landscapes to brighten dull rooms. He also attempted to bring nature into classrooms, but his former working experience warned him against touching walls in classrooms, which belong to the teachers. Soon, Rodriguez had an aha moment — to bring landscapes into classrooms through the ceilings! He used his photography skills to take 360-degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) and fitted them onto classroom ceilings. So when the students looked up, they felt like sitting under a tree. He even created a project called “Nature in the Classroom” and has given his photos of tree canopies to schools in 10 different areas for free.
CBS News was there when Rodriguez uncovered the canopy to Earnest’s fifth grade students. “Beautiful,” one student said as she entered the room. Another expressed that seeing the green tree leaves brought him peace. Earnest believed that the new addition would increase students’ willingness to come into the classroom, among other great things. “This is a marriage of both my jobs as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said.
66.What makes Earnest worry about his students?
A.That they can’t see nature in the classroom. B.That their school is very dully decorated.
C.That they don’t have interest in his classes. D.That their love for nature is disappearing.
67.The aha moment in paragraph 3 refers to a moment when Rodriguez ________.
A.found the importance of landscapes B.noticed the differences among ceilings
C.got a new idea to improve classrooms D.learned ways to take up teachers’ corner
68.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.teachers often have great ideas to deal with classroom walls
B.both Rodriguez’s jobs play a significant role in his marriage
C.photographers do more good to schools than psychologists do
D.Earnest appreciated Rodriguez’s change of classroom ceilings
69.What might be the best title of the passage?
A.Mistaking Nature for Furniture B.From Walls to Ceilings
C.Bringing Green into Classrooms D.From Psychologist to Photographer
(B)
Going back to school every September can be struggling for most students. However, some schools in China have made it easier.
A high school in Hebei: Treasure hunting to start the semester
Teachers from a high school in Hebei recently held a treasure hunt challenge to lighten up the atmosphere of getting back to school for students. Teachers hid coupons (券) in surprising places around the school. Students who manage to collect the coupons are rewarded with gifts, including books and toys.
A university in Zhejiang: Need help carrying your luggage?
Has carrying your suitcases up and down in your dorm (宿舍) building been a headache? Zhejiang University City College has come up with some interesting methods to solve this problem. They use a scaling ladder (云梯) to lift suitcases from the first floor. Students can sit in their dorms and wait for the suitcases to be transported to them.
Chengdu University: Assigning roommates with big data
Getting along with roommates can be difficult when everyone has different habits and personalities. Chengdu University offers a “roommate-selection system” based on big data, which means that after students fill out the questionnaire, including questions about their hobbies, sleeping habits, their roommates will be automatically assigned by the system based on their preferences. This way, students have more control over who they share their room with.
With considerate teachers and a personalized atmosphere, students will be more ready for the upcoming semester.
70.What did the high school in Hebei do to start school?
A.Gave students free coupons. B.Set up a ladder for luggage.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Home: An anchor of order and comfort
One of the first questions we ask when we meet someone new is “Where are you from?” But we seldom pause to consider how complicated that question is. Does it mean where you currently live? Where you were born? Where you grew up?
Environmental psychologists have long understood that the word “home” clearly connotes more than just a house. It encompasses people, places, objects and memories. 77
A 2008 study asked people to identify “the place in your heart you consider to be home.” Twenty-six percent reported that home was where they were born or raised; only 22 percent said that it was where they currently lived. Eighteen percent identified home as the place that they had lived the longest, and 15 percent felt that it was where most of their extended family had come from.
78 No matter where they come from, people tend to think about home as a central place that represents order, a counterbalance to the chaos that exists elsewhere. This might explain why, when asked to draw a picture of “where you live,” children and adolescents around the world invariably place their house in the center of the sheet of paper. In short, it’s what everything else revolves around.
The Zuni of the American Southwest have long viewed the house as a living thing. It’s where they raise their kids and communicate with spirits, and there’s an annual ritual — called the Shalak — in which homes are blessed and consecrated as part of the year-end winter solstice celebration. The ceremony strengthens bonds to the community, to the family (including dead ancestors), and to the spirits and gods by dramatizing the connection each party has to the home.
79 But our holiday traditions probably sound familiar: eating with family, exchanging gifts, catching up with old friends and visiting old haunts. These homecoming rituals affirm and renew a person’s place in the family and often are a key way to strengthen the family’s social fabric.
Home, therefore, is a predictable and secure place where you feel in control and properly oriented in space and time. 80 It is a place where, as the poet Robert Frost aptly wrote, “when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
A.Where we live is closely tied to our sense of who we are.
B.During the holidays, we might not perform any official rituals to bless our home.
C.But if you look at different cultures across time, a common thread emerges.
D.It is a bridge between your past and your present, an enduring link with your family and friends.
E.So what or where, exactly, do people consider “home”?
F.Different cultures interpret the concept of “home” in their own unique ways.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
81-90:
Brain Hunger
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you eat, you are still not full? You may be suffering from a condition known as “brain hunger.” This occurs when the dopamine signaling in your brain is damaged, making it difficult for your body to recognize when it has had enough food. What are the underlying causes of brain hunger?
Genetics can play a role. Research has shown that the dopamine receptor D4 gene may be responsible for regulating cognitive functions related to eating behavior and body weight. Some people have this gene variation that does not allow for a normal dopamine release in response to things that typically would bring joy and pleasure, including food. This means that those individuals won’t get the same “high” feeling they would normally experience when eating. Obesity is also linked to brain hunger. Brain scans of obese individuals show changes in dopamine signaling pathways which can lead to less recognition of the feeling of being full even after a meal.
While it is still unclear whether obesity or genetics is the primary contributor to brain hunger, one thing is certain: losing weight alone is not enough for those affected. Studies show that certain areas of the brain responsible for sensing fullness do not change even with weight loss, which could lead to continued hunger and weight regain. So, what came first: genetics or obesity that cause this brain signaling change? It is possible that if someone has a genetic tendency to be affected by this abnormal dopamine signaling, an environmental trigger can start a series of brain hunger which brings about overeating.
It is also important to practice mindful eating and pay attention to hunger cues to begin perceiving the feeling of being full. Brain hunger can be an uncomfortable and frustrating condition, but it is possible to manage through a combination of treatments.

Using renewables seems to cut carbon more than nuclear. Nations that embraced renewable forms of energy have significantly cut their carbon emissions, but 31 pursuing nuclear power have failed to do so, researchers have found.
Nuclear and renewables are seen as two key ways for governments to decarbonize(去碳), but the question of whether one is more effective for dealing with climate change 32 (not address) fully. With several countries on the brink of deciding whether 33 (back) new nuclear power plants to meet their carbon targets, the answer to this question matters
To find out, Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex and his colleagues looked at carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and GDP over 25 years. They found that in 117 countries that had been using renewables, CO2 emissions per capita(人均地)dropped from 0.69 tonnes(公吨)on average between 1990 and 2004 to 0.61 tonnes between 2000 and 2014 and 34 these latter figures included a further six countries.
During the same periods, however, the 30 countries that had been using nuclear power largely stayed flat, shifting from an average 0.52 tonnes of Co2 emissions per capita to 0.51. The two groups of countries overlap because some fall into both. Renewables included wind, solar, hydroelectric, and biomass energy. “If you’re focusing on 35 we can do to reduce emissions in the next 15 years, 36 (pursue) renewables instead of nuclear,” says Sovacool.
The reason 37 the results is not clear — the analysis found a connection, not a causation—but Sovacool has ideas. Nuclear power is restricted due to agreements 38 (limit) the spread of nuclear weapons 39 material from reactors (核反应堆) can be used to make bombs. Renewables are not, enabling more countries to learn from one another, such as Germany benefiting from Chinese economies of scale on solar. Other reasons for this 40 be that renewables are cheaper and quicker to build and more socially acceptable, says Sovacool.

MUJI products came into being in the early 1980s as a result of a new mood, calling for a return to simplicity in daily life. Our aim was — and still is — to provide our customers all over the world with the fundamental things they need to live a busy, modern, urban lifestyle. These things must be made from good, 41 materials, with no unnecessary frills or fancies and must sell at a reasonable price. Our clothes must feel good on, our stationery must be practical and our household goods must be easy to use. This may seem elementary but it has always been a primary goal to ensure that MUJI customers should never pay for what they can’t use—i. e. added extras and fancy packaging. So, at MUJI you’ll find no 42 prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods.
At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different. Moreover, our products are made from materials which we 43 on a global scale, not because we think an exotic origin sounds more exciting than one on our doorstep but because we are committed to using the best available material, wherever it comes from. Using these superior materials, we design our products so that their simplicity brings out their inherent 44 , both of the material they’re made from and the products themselves. Finally, we present our products in the 45 of packaging — if any at all ——which neither masks nor makes them look any more than they are. As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more 46 , the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI.
The Company’s basic principle is to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. Through the careful selection of materials, 47 manufacturing processes and simplifying our packaging, we have continually introduced high quality MUJI brand products onto the market, at lower than usual prices. For the materials, the 48 selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.
When packaging products, MUJI seeks not to decorate them but rather to 49 their natural colors and shapes. For this reason, we use bulk packaging and place products in plain, uniform containers. Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in 50 with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste. Thus, all MUJI products appear on store shelves in simple packaging bearing only product-related information and a price tag.

Section B
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.
(A)
Some classrooms in Taft Elementary in California have a common weakness: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Earnest’s fifth grade classroom. “Most of the day, my students are inside and don’t really see any green trees or grass,” Earnest told CBS News. He worries that the dull classroom environment has harmful effects on his students.
Rodriguez, a former school psychologist (a professional in school to support students’ learning and teachers’ teaching) and now a photographer, is focusing on landscape photography. He knows clearly the effect which nature has on mental health and told CBS News that the lack of sight of trees or grasses is a problem and being in and around nature does students much good, including helping to improve their test scores and control over moods.
Rodriguez had managed to design hospital walls where he could print landscapes to brighten dull rooms. He also attempted to bring nature into classrooms, but his former working experience warned him against touching walls in classrooms, which belong to the teachers. Soon, Rodriguez had an aha moment — to bring landscapes into classrooms through the ceilings! He used his photography skills to take 360-degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) and fitted them onto classroom ceilings. So when the students looked up, they felt like sitting under a tree. He even created a project called “Nature in the Classroom” and has given his photos of tree canopies to schools in 10 different areas for free.
CBS News was there when Rodriguez uncovered the canopy to Earnest’s fifth grade students. “Beautiful,” one student said as she entered the room. Another expressed that seeing the green tree leaves brought him peace. Earnest believed that the new addition would increase students’ willingness to come into the classroom, among other great things. “This is a marriage of both my jobs as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said.
66.What makes Earnest worry about his students?
A.That they can’t see nature in the classroom. B.That their school is very dully decorated.
C.That they don’t have interest in his classes. D.That their love for nature is disappearing.
67.The aha moment in paragraph 3 refers to a moment when Rodriguez ________.
A.found the importance of landscapes B.noticed the differences among ceilings
C.got a new idea to improve classrooms D.learned ways to take up teachers’ corner
68.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.teachers often have great ideas to deal with classroom walls
B.both Rodriguez’s jobs play a significant role in his marriage
C.photographers do more good to schools than psychologists do
D.Earnest appreciated Rodriguez’s change of classroom ceilings

Going back to school every September can be struggling for most students. However, some schools in China have made it easier.
A high school in Hebei: Treasure hunting to start the semester
Teachers from a high school in Hebei recently held a treasure hunt challenge to lighten up the atmosphere of getting back to school for students. Teachers hid coupons (券) in surprising places around the school. Students who manage to collect the coupons are rewarded with gifts, including books and toys.
A university in Zhejiang: Need help carrying your luggage?
Has carrying your suitcases up and down in your dorm (宿舍) building been a headache? Zhejiang University City College has come up with some interesting methods to solve this problem. They use a scaling ladder (云梯) to lift suitcases from the first floor. Students can sit in their dorms and wait for the suitcases to be transported to them.
Chengdu University: Assigning roommates with big data
Getting along with roommates can be difficult when everyone has different habits and personalities. Chengdu University offers a “roommate-selection system” based on big data, which means that after students fill out the questionnaire, including questions about their hobbies, sleeping habits, their roommates will be automatically assigned by the system based on their preferences. This way, students have more control over who they share their room with.
With considerate teachers and a personalized atmosphere, students will be more ready for the upcoming semester.

Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Home: An anchor of order and comfort
One of the first questions we ask when we meet someone new is “Where are you from?” But we seldom pause to consider how complicated that question is. Does it mean where you currently live? Where you were born? Where you grew up?
Environmental psychologists have long understood that the word “home” clearly connotes more than just a house. It encompasses people, places, objects and memories. 77
A 2008 study asked people to identify “the place in your heart you consider to be home.” Twenty-six percent reported that home was where they were born or raised; only 22 percent said that it was where they currently lived. Eighteen percent identified home as the place that they had lived the longest, and 15 percent felt that it was where most of their extended family had come from.
78 No matter where they come from, people tend to think about home as a central place that represents order, a counterbalance to the chaos that exists elsewhere. This might explain why, when asked to draw a picture of “where you live,” children and adolescents around the world invariably place their house in the center of the sheet of paper. In short, it’s what everything else revolves around.
The Zuni of the American Southwest have long viewed the house as a living thing. It’s where they raise their kids and communicate with spirits, and there’s an annual ritual — called the Shalak — in which homes are blessed and consecrated as part of the year-end winter solstice celebration. The ceremony strengthens bonds to the community, to the family (including dead ancestors), and to the spirits and gods by dramatizing the connection each party has to the home.
79 But our holiday traditions probably sound familiar: eating with family, exchanging gifts, catching up with old friends and visiting old haunts. These homecoming rituals affirm and renew a person’s place in the family and often are a key way to strengthen the family’s social fabric.
Home, therefore, is a predictable and secure place where you feel in control and properly oriented in space and time. 80 It is a place where, as the poet Robert Frost aptly wrote, “when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
A.Where we live is closely tied to our sense of who we are.
B.During the holidays, we might not perform any official rituals to bless our home.
C.But if you look at different cultures across time, a common thread emerges.
D.It is a bridge between your past and your present, an enduring link with your family and friends.
E.So what or where, exactly, do people consider “home”?
F.Different cultures interpret the concept of “home” in their own unique ways.
IV. Summary Writing (10分)
Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
81-90:
Brain Hunger
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you eat, you are still not full? You may be suffering from a condition known as “brain hunger.” This occurs when the dopamine signaling in your brain is damaged, making it difficult for your body to recognize when it has had enough food. What are the underlying causes of brain hunger?
Genetics can play a role. Research has shown that the dopamine receptor D4 gene may be responsible for regulating cognitive functions related to eating behavior and body weight. Some people have this gene variation that does not allow for a normal dopamine release in response to things that typically would bring joy and pleasure, including food. This means that those individuals won’t get the same “high” feeling they would normally experience when eating. Obesity is also linked to brain hunger. Brain scans of obese individuals show changes in dopamine signaling pathways which can lead to less recognition of the feeling of being full even after a meal.
While it is still unclear whether obesity or genetics is the primary contributor to brain hunger, one thing is certain: losing weight alone is not enough for those affected. Studies show that certain areas of the brain responsible for sensing fullness do not change even with weight loss, which could lead to continued hunger and weight regain. So, what came first: genetics or obesity that cause this brain signaling change? It is possible that if someone has a genetic tendency to be affected by this abnormal dopamine signaling, an environmental trigger can start a series of brain hunger which brings about overeating.
It is also important to practice mindful eating and pay attention to hunger cues to begin perceiving the feeling of being full. Brain hunger can be an uncomfortable and frustrating condition, but it is possible to manage through a combination of treatments.

Although many poly technique courses are strongly vocational, that is, they lead directly to a career, and you may well spend a considerable slice of your time actually working on placement in industry or any other work areas as a part of the course itself. Some of these courses are the so called sandwich causes, typically two years polytechnique study, one year in industry and a final year back at the Polly before your examinations. Another feature of polytechnique life is that there is a very large choice of courses. For example, at now, you can study manufacturing systems management, specializing in computer aid design or business studies, with the option of adding german to the course. Entry requirements are often flexible. Many matured students find that their work experience is rated by the admissions to us as highly as if they offered formal examination qualifications. If you want to choose your course, you may discuss with admissions to us on nap courses, career advisory services and college career tudes are a tremendous source of up to date information.

Although many polytechnique courses are strongly vocational, that is, they lead directly to a career, and you may well spend a considerable slice of your time actually working on placement in industry or any other work area as a part of the course itself. Some of these courses are the so called sandwich courses, typically two years Polly technique study, one year in industry and a final year back at the Polly before your examinations. Another feature of polytechnic life is that there is a very large choice of courses. For example, at no, you can study manufacturing, systems management, specializing in computer aid design or business studies, with the option of adding german to the course. Entry requirements are often flexible. Many mature students find that their work experience is raided by the admissions to do as highly as if they offered formal examination qualifications. If you want to choose your course, you may discuss with admissions to earth on nelse courses, careers advisory services and college careers. Tudes are a tremendous source of optimal formation. Questions fourteen, what do only technique causes mainly focus on? Fifteen who may help students to choose right courses at knob. Sixteen, what may be considered as an entry requirement.

Section B
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
When all the animals of a species die out, the whole world loses. That creature is gone forever. Many people are worried about this happening to a large number of wild animals. They spend time campaigning to help preserve wildlife. One of the best known preservationists is Joan Emberry. She is an attractive young woman who works for the San Diego Zoo.
Joan Emberry's vast knowledge of animals makes her a frequent guest on TV talk shows. She has been on the "Jonny Carson Show" over forty times. She explains common errors in thinking about wildlife. For example, gorillas aren't the fierce, cruel and savage beasts they appear to be. They are really quite shy. Monkeys that smile aren't as happy as they seem. In fact, a monkey's ear-to-ear smile means "watch out". Snakes really help nature by eating harmful insects. So people should try to protect them. Joan Emberry hopes that once people understand animals better, they will do their best to preserve them.
How lucky animals are to have a friend like Joan Emberry! Now listen again, please.

Using renewables seems to cut carbon more than nuclear. Nations that embraced renewable forms of energy have significantly cut their carbon emissions, but 31 pursuing nuclear power have failed to do so, researchers have found.
Nuclear and renewables are seen as two key ways for governments to decarbonize(去碳), but the question of whether one is more effective for dealing with climate change 32 (not address) fully. With several countries on the brink of deciding whether 33 (back) new nuclear power plants to meet their carbon targets, the answer to this question matters
To find out, Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex and his colleagues looked at carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and GDP over 25 years. They found that in 117 countries that had been using renewables, CO2 emissions per capita(人均地)dropped from 0.69 tonnes(公吨)on average between 1990 and 2004 to 0.61 tonnes between 2000 and 2014 and 34 these latter figures included a further six countries.
During the same periods, however, the 30 countries that had been using nuclear power largely stayed flat, shifting from an average 0.52 tonnes of Co2 emissions per capita to 0.51. The two groups of countries overlap because some fall into both. Renewables included wind, solar, hydroelectric, and biomass energy. “If you’re focusing on 35 we can do to reduce emissions in the next 15 years, 36 (pursue) renewables instead of nuclear,” says Sovacool.
The reason 37 the results is not clear — the analysis found a connection, not a causation—but Sovacool has ideas. Nuclear power is restricted due to agreements 38 (limit) the spread of nuclear weapons 39 material from reactors (核反应堆) can be used to make bombs. Renewables are not, enabling more countries to learn from one another, such as Germany benefiting from Chinese economies of scale on solar. Other reasons for this 40 be that renewables are cheaper and quicker to build and more socially acceptable, says Sovacool.
【答案】
31.those 32.hasn’t been addressed 33.to back 34.that 35.what 36.pursue 37.of 38.limiting 39.because/as 40.could/may
【导语】这是一篇说明文。使用可再生能源似乎比使用核能更能减少碳排放。研究人员发现,采用可再生能源的国家已经显著减少了碳排放,但那些追求核能的国家却没有做到这一点。
31.考查代词。句意:研究人员发现,采用可再生能源的国家已经显著减少了碳排放,但那些追求核能的国家却没有做到这一点。此处指“那些国家”应用代词those。故填those。
32.考查时态语态。句意:核能和可再生能源被视为政府实现脱碳的两大关键途径,但其中一种方式是否对应对气候变化更有效的问题尚未得到充分解决。分析句子结构可知,“whether one is more effective for dealing with climate change”为宾语从句,空格在主句中作谓语,主语与谓语构成被动关系,表示过去发生的动作对现在的影响应用现在完成时的被动语态,为否定陈述句,助动词用has。故填hasn’t been addressed。
33.考查非谓语动词。句意:随着几个国家即将决定是否支持新的核电站以达到他们的碳排放目标,这个问题的答案很重要。此处为“疑问词+不定式”结构,故填to back。
34.考查宾语从句。句意:他们发现,在117个使用可再生能源的国家中,人均二氧化碳排放量从1990年至2004年的平均0.69吨下降到2000年至2014年的0.61吨,而后者还包括另外6个国家。引导宾语从句,从句不缺少成分,句意完整,故用that引导。故填that。
35.考查宾语从句。句意:Sovacool说:“如果你关注我们在未来15年能做些什么来减少排放,那就追求可再生能源,而不是核能。”空处引导宾语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指事物应用what。故填what。
36.考查祈使句。句意:Sovacool说:“如果你关注我们在未来15年能做些什么来减少排放,那就追求可再生能源,而不是核能。”肯定祈使句填动词原形。故填pursue。
37.考查介词。句意:产生这些结果的原因尚不清楚——分析发现了一种联系,而不是因果关系——但Sovacool有自己的想法。reason与results为所属关系,应用介词of。故填of。
38.考查非谓语动词。句意:由于限制核武器扩散的协议,核能受到限制,因为反应堆的材料可以用来制造炸弹。分析句子结构可知limit与逻辑主语agreements构成主动关系,故用现在分词作定语。故填limiting。
39.考查状语从句。句意:由于限制核武器扩散的协议,核能受到限制,因为反应堆的材料可以用来制造炸弹。引导原因状语从句,表示“因为”可用because或as。故填because/as。
40.考查情态动词。句意:Sovacool说,其他原因可能是可再生能源更便宜、建造更快、更容易被社会接受。后跟动词原形,结合句意表示“可能是”可用could、may。故填could/may。

MUJI products came into being in the early 1980s as a result of a new mood, calling for a return to simplicity in daily life. Our aim was — and still is — to provide our customers all over the world with the fundamental things they need to live a busy, modern, urban lifestyle. These things must be made from good, 41 materials, with no unnecessary frills or fancies and must sell at a reasonable price. Our clothes must feel good on, our stationery must be practical and our household goods must be easy to use. This may seem elementary but it has always been a primary goal to ensure that MUJI customers should never pay for what they can’t use—i. e. added extras and fancy packaging. So, at MUJI you’ll find no 42 prices, just simple, sound products you can afford, so simple in fact, they don’t even carry a brand name. This is in direct contrast to the usual marketing ploy of producing heavily branded, expensively designed, over packaged goods.
At MUJI we pride ourselves on being different. Moreover, our products are made from materials which we 43 on a global scale, not because we think an exotic origin sounds more exciting than one on our doorstep but because we are committed to using the best available material, wherever it comes from. Using these superior materials, we design our products so that their simplicity brings out their inherent 44 , both of the material they’re made from and the products themselves. Finally, we present our products in the 45 of packaging — if any at all ——which neither masks nor makes them look any more than they are. As a result, the quality and credence of each product are self-evident. As life gets more 46 , the need for simple lifestyle becomes all the more necessary. To find these, look no further than MUJI.
The Company’s basic principle is to develop new simple products at reasonable prices by making the best use of materials while considering environmental issues. Through the careful selection of materials, 47 manufacturing processes and simplifying our packaging, we have continually introduced high quality MUJI brand products onto the market, at lower than usual prices. For the materials, the 48 selection criteria is always quality. These activities underpin our ability to create low-priced, high-quality products.
When packaging products, MUJI seeks not to decorate them but rather to 49 their natural colors and shapes. For this reason, we use bulk packaging and place products in plain, uniform containers. Faithful to our philosophy of simplicity, this approach is also in 50 with our policy of conserving resources and reducing waste. Thus, all MUJI products appear on store shelves in simple packaging bearing only product-related information and a price tag.

Section B
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.
(A)
Some classrooms in Taft Elementary in California have a common weakness: They don’t have windows. That’s true for Earnest’s fifth grade classroom. “Most of the day, my students are inside and don’t really see any green trees or grass,” Earnest told CBS News. He worries that the dull classroom environment has harmful effects on his students.
Rodriguez, a former school psychologist (a professional in school to support students’ learning and teachers’ teaching) and now a photographer, is focusing on landscape photography. He knows clearly the effect which nature has on mental health and told CBS News that the lack of sight of trees or grasses is a problem and being in and around nature does students much good, including helping to improve their test scores and control over moods.
Rodriguez had managed to design hospital walls where he could print landscapes to brighten dull rooms. He also attempted to bring nature into classrooms, but his former working experience warned him against touching walls in classrooms, which belong to the teachers. Soon, Rodriguez had an aha moment — to bring landscapes into classrooms through the ceilings! He used his photography skills to take 360-degree shots of tree canopies (树冠) and fitted them onto classroom ceilings. So when the students looked up, they felt like sitting under a tree. He even created a project called “Nature in the Classroom” and has given his photos of tree canopies to schools in 10 different areas for free.
CBS News was there when Rodriguez uncovered the canopy to Earnest’s fifth grade students. “Beautiful,” one student said as she entered the room. Another expressed that seeing the green tree leaves brought him peace. Earnest believed that the new addition would increase students’ willingness to come into the classroom, among other great things. “This is a marriage of both my jobs as a school psychologist and a photographer,” Rodriguez said.
66.What makes Earnest worry about his students?
A.That they can’t see nature in the classroom. B.That their school is very dully decorated.
C.That they don’t have interest in his classes. D.That their love for nature is disappearing.
67.The aha moment in paragraph 3 refers to a moment when Rodriguez ________.
A.found the importance of landscapes B.noticed the differences among ceilings
C.got a new idea to improve classrooms D.learned ways to take up teachers’ corner
68.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.teachers often have great ideas to deal with classroom walls
B.both Rodriguez’s jobs play a significant role in his marriage
C.photographers do more good to schools than psychologists do
D.Earnest appreciated Rodriguez’s change of classroom ceilings

C.Bringing Green into Classrooms D.From Psychologist to Photographer

68.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Earnest believed that the new addition would increase students’ willingness to come into the classroom, among other great things(欧内斯特认为,除了其他好处之外,新的添加物(天花板上的风景照片)将提高学生进入教室的意愿)”可知,欧内斯特认为新的添加物将提高学生进入教室的意愿,可以推断出,欧内斯特很欣赏罗德里格斯对教室天花板的改变。故选D项。

Section C
Directions: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Home: An anchor of order and comfort
One of the first questions we ask when we meet someone new is “Where are you from?” But we seldom pause to consider how complicated that question is. Does it mean where you currently live? Where you were born? Where you grew up?
Environmental psychologists have long understood that the word “home” clearly connotes more than just a house. It encompasses people, places, objects and memories. 77
A 2008 study asked people to identify “the place in your heart you consider to be home.” Twenty-six percent reported that home was where they were born or raised; only 22 percent said that it was where they currently lived. Eighteen percent identified home as the place that they had lived the longest, and 15 percent felt that it was where most of their extended family had come from.
78 No matter where they come from, people tend to think about home as a central place that represents order, a counterbalance to the chaos that exists elsewhere. This might explain why, when asked to draw a picture of “where you live,” children and adolescents around the world invariably place their house in the center of the sheet of paper. In short, it’s what everything else revolves around.
The Zuni of the American Southwest have long viewed the house as a living thing. It’s where they raise their kids and communicate with spirits, and there’s an annual ritual — called the Shalak — in which homes are blessed and consecrated as part of the year-end winter solstice celebration. The ceremony strengthens bonds to the community, to the family (including dead ancestors), and to the spirits and gods by dramatizing the connection each party has to the home.
79 But our holiday traditions probably sound familiar: eating with family, exchanging gifts, catching up with old friends and visiting old haunts. These homecoming rituals affirm and renew a person’s place in the family and often are a key way to strengthen the family’s social fabric.
Home, therefore, is a predictable and secure place where you feel in control and properly oriented in space and time. 80 It is a place where, as the poet Robert Frost aptly wrote, “when you have to go there, they have to take you in.”
A.Where we live is closely tied to our sense of who we are.
B.During the holidays, we might not perform any official rituals to bless our home.
C.But if you look at different cultures across time, a common thread emerges.
D.It is a bridge between your past and your present, an enduring link with your family and friends.
E.So what or where, exactly, do people consider “home”?
F.Different cultures interpret the concept of “home” in their own unique ways.
【答案】E C B D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨了“家”这一概念的复杂性,它不仅指住所,还包含人、地方、物品和记忆等元素,不同文化对家的理解虽有差异,但也存在共通之处。
77.根据上文“Environmental psychologists have long understood that the word “home” clearly connotes more than just a house. It encompasses people, places, objects and memories. (环境心理学家早就明白,“家”这个词显然不仅仅意味着一所房子。它包含了人、地方、物品和记忆。)”以及下文“A 2008 study asked people to identify “the place in your heart you consider to be home.” (2008年的一项研究让人们指出“你心中认为是家的地方”。)”可知,上文提到“家”的内涵丰富,下文通过研究具体询问人们对“家”的定义,E选项“So what or where, exactly, do people consider “home”? (那么,人们究竟认为什么是“家”,或者哪里是“家”呢?)”,既承接上文对“家”内涵的探讨,又引出下文关于人们对“家”的具体认知的研究,符合逻辑。故选E项。
78.根据下文“No matter where they come from, people tend to think about home as a central place that represents order, a counterbalance to the chaos that exists elsewhere. (无论来自哪里,人们往往认为家是一个代表秩序的中心场所,是对其他地方存在的混乱的一种平衡。)”可知,此处强调不同背景的人对家的认知存在共通之处,C选项“But if you look at different cultures across time, a common thread emerges. (但如果你纵观不同时代的不同文化,就会发现一个共同的线索。)”中的“a common thread”与下文人们对家的共通理解相呼应,起到引出下文的作用。故选C项。
79.根据上文“The Zuni of the American Southwest have long viewed the house as a living thing. It’s where they raise their kids and communicate with spirits, and there’s an annual ritual — called the Shalak — in which homes are blessed and consecrated as part of the year-end winter solstice celebration. The ceremony strengthens bonds to the community, to the family (including dead ancestors), and to the spirits and gods by dramatizing the connection each party has to the home. (美国西南部的祖尼人长期以来一直将房屋视为有生命的东西。这是他们养育子女和与神灵交流的地方,每年都有一个名为“沙拉克”的仪式,在年终冬至庆祝活动中,房屋会得到祝福并被奉为神圣。这个仪式通过生动展示各方与家的联系,加强了与社区、家庭(包括逝去的祖先)以及神灵之间的纽带。)”以及下文“But our holiday traditions probably sound familiar: eating with family, exchanging gifts, catching up with old friends and visiting old haunts. (但我们的节日传统可能听起来很熟悉:与家人一起用餐、交换礼物、与老朋友叙旧以及重游老地方。)”可知,上文介绍了祖尼人有关家的仪式,下文转折提到我们熟悉的节日传统,B选项“During the holidays, we might not perform any official rituals to bless our home. (在节日里,我们可能不会举行任何正式的仪式来祝福我们的家。)”与上文的“annual ritual”形成对比,又通过“but”与下文的节日传统相衔接。故选B项。
80.根据上文“Home, therefore, is a predictable and secure place where you feel in control and properly oriented in space and time. (因此,家是一个可预测且安全的地方,在那里你会感到一切尽在掌握,在空间和时间上都有恰当的定位。)”可知,此处进一步阐述家的意义,D选项“It is a bridge between your past and your present, an enduring link with your family and friends. (它是连接你过去和现在的桥梁,是与你的家人和朋友之间持久的联系。)”中的“it”指代“home”,且从过去与现在、与亲友的联系等方面补充了家的内涵,与上文衔接紧密。故选D项。

Brain Hunger
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you eat, you are still not full? You may be suffering from a condition known as “brain hunger.” This occurs when the dopamine signaling in your brain is damaged, making it difficult for your body to recognize when it has had enough food. What are the underlying causes of brain hunger?
Genetics can play a role. Research has shown that the dopamine receptor D4 gene may be responsible for regulating cognitive functions related to eating behavior and body weight. Some people have this gene variation that does not allow for a normal dopamine release in response to things that typically would bring joy and pleasure, including food. This means that those individuals won’t get the same “high” feeling they would normally experience when eating. Obesity is also linked to brain hunger. Brain scans of obese individuals show changes in dopamine signaling pathways which can lead to less recognition of the feeling of being full even after a meal.
While it is still unclear whether obesity or genetics is the primary contributor to brain hunger, one thing is certain: losing weight alone is not enough for those affected. Studies show that certain areas of the brain responsible for sensing fullness do not change even with weight loss, which could lead to continued hunger and weight regain. So, what came first: genetics or obesity that cause this brain signaling change? It is possible that if someone has a genetic tendency to be affected by this abnormal dopamine signaling, an environmental trigger can start a series of brain hunger which brings about overeating.
It is also important to practice mindful eating and pay attention to hunger cues to begin perceiving the feeling of being full. Brain hunger can be an uncomfortable and frustrating condition, but it is possible to manage through a combination of treatments.

【答案】The passage summarizes the concept of “brain hunger”, caused by damaged dopamine signaling in the brain. It explores genetic (dopamine receptor D4 gene) and obesity-related factors, noting that weight loss alone is insufficient. It emphasizes the importance of mindful eating and hunger cues to sense satiety with a comprehensive combination of treatments for management.
