第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Fall Is the Best Time to Visit These National Parks
Natchez Trace Parkway (Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee)
Wandering 444 miles between the Mississippi River and Nashville, the Natchez Trace is impressive for more than 10,000 years of American history and some of the prettiest scenery in the South. Its autumn is splendid with fall leaves, as well as migratory birds making their way south. The fall season also brings special events along the parkway like the Natchez Balloon Festival (October 18-19) and Dancing With The King (October 18-20).
Big Bend National Park (Texas)
The huge park often flies under the radar because it’s so far off the beaten path. But it’s worth the drive for those who enjoy wild rivers, surprising desert landscapes, and special history. By the end of September, 80-degree temperatures are the norm, especially in the high-altitude, forested Chisos Basin, located in the heart of the park. Because the rainy season lasts till September, water is still high on the Rio Grande, which means almost ideal conditions for canoe camping.
White Sands National Park (New Mexico)
Cooler temperatures are just one of the reasons to visit White Sands in the fall, especially for those backpack-camping the park’s wilderness trail. Another reason to visit in the fall are awesome full moons that lighten the mysterious landscapes of this New Mexico desert park. White Sands celebrates the autumn supermoons — when the celestial body appears larger than normal because it’s closer to the Earth — with Full Moon Hikes (September 18 and October 16) and Full Moon Nights that feature live outdoor music, specifically a jazz band on September 17 as well as Native American musician and storyteller Randy Granger on October 17.
Capitol Reef National Park (Utah)
As one of the largest national parks in the lower 48 states, Capitol Reef is never overcrowded, not even during the summer vacation season. But there’s a special reason to visit in the fall-harvest season in the fruit gardens of historic Fruita. For a small fee, visitors can self-pick the peaches, pears, and apples with ladders and fruit-picking poles provided by the Park Service. Afterward, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor at the nearby camp and picnic area.
1. What does the underlined part “flies under the radar” probably mean?
A. Stands out. B. Goes unnoticed.
C. Faces bad comments. D. Plays an important role.
2. What do Natchez Trace Parkway and White Sands National Park have in common?
A. They both have open areas for camping.
B. They both have special events in October.
C. They both have amazing desert landscapes.
D. They both have a history of more than 10,000 years.
3. What is special about Capitol Reef National Park?
A. It is crowded in autumn.
B. It is famous for fruit-planting.
C. It is convenient for visitors to pick fresh fruits.
D. It is the largest national park around the world.
B
Liu Hong, director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, dresses as a swordsman from Louis Cha’s novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a spokesman for the tourism resources of his hometown.
His videos have drawn much praise. “He’s exactly what I imagined a swordsman would be like in the old times,” one audience commented. In these videos, Liu acted like a hero of Chinese martial arts fictions, sometimes rowing on bamboo raft, sometimes wandering by the lake and sometimes leading a horse.
All the short videos are produced in Liu’s spare time. Snow mountains, grasslands, forests and lakes — Ganzi, as part of the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, shows great natural beauty and also the cultural combination between Han and Tibetan ethnic cultures.
After graduating from college, Liu chose to return to work in his hometown of Yajiang county, where he became director of the tourism bureau in 2002. In order to promote tourism in his hometown, he began taking pictures of his hometown and sent brochures to travel agencies. He has led villagers to build roads and personally received nearly 20,000 tourists. In 2019, Liu was appointed as director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, and continued to innovate the forms of cultural tourism promotion. In 2021, the total number of tourists received by Ganzi will exceed 35 million and the tourism income will exceed 39 billion yuan.
“I love my hometown. I wanted to do more for it while people still appreciate my videos online. That was my original intention,” he said.
“The internet has introduced us to the outside world, and it has brought the outside world to us,” he said. “Many people visit Ganzi, and the villagers not only increase their income and improve their quality of life, but also meet friends from all over the world and broaden their horizons.”
“Welcome to Ganzi and learn more about it. I will wait for you in Ganzi!” Liu Hong said.
4. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 2 mean?
A. The audience thinks highly of Liu’s acting.
B. Mr. Liu should star in Chinese kung fu plays.
C. Mr. Liu sets a good example to the audience.
D. The audience wants to be a hero of Chinese martial arts himself.
5. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Liu Hong’s original intention.
B. Liu Hong’s work experience.
C. Liu Hong’s contributions to tourism income.
D. Liu Hong’s fight for attracting more visitors.
6. Which of the following words can best describe Liu Hong?
A. Patient and generous. B. Warm-hearted and polite.
C. Responsible and creative. D. Independent and positive.
7. In which part of a newspaper can we probably read this passage?
A. Travel. B. History. C. Education. D. Business.
C
Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search,rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots” the study’s authors wrote.
Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especially safe around humans, because they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’re taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology’ Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”
8. What’s the special feature of “Octobot”?
A. It’s soft. B. It’s made of metal.
C. It’s very small. D. It looks like an octopus.
9. What’s the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A. They’re hard to control. B. They’re too heavy to move.
C. They can’t predict conditions. D. They can’t behave well all the time.
10. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot’s ________.
A. silicone body B. complex components
C. precise movements D. flexible power source
11. What’s the possible application of “Octobot”?
A. Medical research. B. Life rescue.
C. Machine operation. D. House cleaning.
D
Growing crops in piling rows indoors under controllable artificial lights can produce more food per square foot while using less land and water than traditional outdoor farms. But this vertical farming technique is also energy intensive and expensive. Researchers are now finding that adjusting light to cater to the unique requirements of each crop can promote stronger, healthier growth and simultaneously cut down on energy use.
Researchers have developed a computer program that can control lighting to better both photosynthesis (光合作用) and electric bills. The computer program adjusts the intensity of grow lights hourly based on the changing cost of electricity.
This “smart lighting” could potentially cut vertical farms’ electricity costs by up to 12 percent, says Leo Marcelis, leader of the research team. Such savings could lead to tens of thousands of dollars in annual cost reductions, backed by data from the 2021 Global CEA Census Report — a survey of the indoor and controlled environment agriculture industry.
But how might indoor crops grow well under dynamic lighting? Marcelis and his colleagues tested how leafy greens reacted to light patterns that changed hourly. Plants were exposed to varying light intensities: one group of plants grew under high-then-low intensity lighting intervals (间隔), while another enjoyed brighter mornings and dimmer afternoons. Interestingly, both conditions resulted in leaves and mature weights similar to those grown under standard fixed lighting.
While the new program operated without predetermined lighting conditions, Marcelis indicates there is potential for reducing electricity costs. Continued research that tests dynamic lighting on larger scales is needed, as the research was carried out at the single-plant level, but not yet at the whole crop stand level, mentioned Marcelis. He also cautions against expecting immediate benefits from dynamic lighting for vertical farming. Other critical issues remain to be resolved before vertical farming can help feed the world.
12. What is a disadvantage of vertical farming?
A. Cost-effective. B. Labor-intensive.
C. Energy-consuming. D. Technically-challenging.
13. What influences the adjustments of grow light intensity?
A. Variations in power costs. B. Growth stages of the crops.
C Outdoor lighting conditions. D. Changing electricity supplies.
14. What did researchers find about indoor crops?
A. They grow better under fixed lighting.
B. They remain uninfluenced by sunlight.
C. They output more under dynamic lighting.
D. They react similarly to varying light patterns.
15. What may Marcelis agree with?
A. There are still some limitations in the research.
B. The new program helps save on electricity bills.
C. Vertical farming will be a major trend in the future.
D. Dynamic lighting is a useful way to get rid of hunger.
第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why People May Stare at You
You may have experienced the situation where someone staring at you, such as when you’re quietly seated on a bus, only to find that the person across from you is looking at your feet. Did you put on two different shoes? No, you check your shoes — both are the same. ___16___
A new study by Hannah Scott and colleagues from the University of London suggested that people stare because faces, especially the eyes, provide many useful non-verbal clues about a person’s mental state. ___17___ Observing what others look at offers a glimpse into their thoughts.
___18___ The study also found that people may focus on others’ lips during talks. If you feel someone’s gaze on your mouth while speaking, it’s likely not an indication of romantic interest, but rather that they might not hear you well. Similarly, people may look at your hands when you gesture. As they may be trying to understand your actions when you are talking or performing a task.
The study showed that people tend to direct their gaze at the part of the body that provides the most information. ___19___ They get the audience to focus on their faces while performing hand tricks. This technique helps switch attention from their hands during card tricks or coin magic.
Scott’s study concluded that people are not naturally biased to focus on someone’s face. Instead, they are drawn to the body parts that provide the most relevant information. ___20___ But when someone is performing a manual task, it’s the hands that draw the gaze. This also explains why magicians often talk to engage their audience’s attention on their faces while performing tricks with their hands.
A. So, what causes such stares?
B. But it’s not just eyes that draw stares.
C. The eyes, contain socially relevant information.
D. This explains how magicians apply misdirection.
E. If someone is speaking, the eyes attract attention.
F. Sometimes, such intense stares can make us feel uneasy.
G. The way people talk can also attract stares during conversations.

On a warm afternoon, we first saw “Big Red” when my father, mother, and I (Frank) stopped as usual to have a look and do a bit of dreaming at Eaton’s department store window on our way home.
Amongst beautiful toys lay a stunning red satin (缎子) dress. Mother’s eyes fixed on it. “My goodness,” she whispered, “Look at that”, She then glanced down at her own heavy grey wool coat, worn every winter for as long as I could remember. Mother, constantly doing chores like laundry, tending pigs, and gardening, always wore practical housedresses and an apron (围裙). She owned just one or two“special” dresses for significant events and made most of our comfortable, simple clothes.
“What a silly dress”, she said to herself, shaking her head. “Who on earth would want such a big thing?” Yet, as we walked away, she turned back for one last look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something useful.”
As Mother’s Day approached, the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, intensely practical, never spent money on non-essentials (必需品). “There are things we need more than this,” she’d insist. Choosing her gift was difficult. When asked, she requested only useful items like tea towels or a new basin.
During our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, with us driving up Main Street, Mother suddenly shouted: “Look”, She pointed excitedly as father drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone”, she exclaimed in disbelief. Shaking her head, she questioned, “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress?” But I was certain I was aware of a distinct trace of longing (一丝渴望) beneath her words. The absence of the dress seemed to highlight its beauty rather than erase it from memory.
Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes.

Liu Hong, director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, dresses as a swordsman from Louis Cha’s novel The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a spokesman for the tourism resources of his hometown.
His videos have drawn much praise. “He’s exactly what I imagined a swordsman would be like in the old times,” one audience commented. In these videos, Liu acted like a hero of Chinese martial arts fictions, sometimes rowing on bamboo raft, sometimes wandering by the lake and sometimes leading a horse.
All the short videos are produced in Liu’s spare time. Snow mountains, grasslands, forests and lakes — Ganzi, as part of the Silk Road and the Ancient Tea Horse Road, shows great natural beauty and also the cultural combination between Han and Tibetan ethnic cultures.
After graduating from college, Liu chose to return to work in his hometown of Yajiang county, where he became director of the tourism bureau in 2002. In order to promote tourism in his hometown, he began taking pictures of his hometown and sent brochures to travel agencies. He has led villagers to build roads and personally received nearly 20,000 tourists. In 2019, Liu was appointed as director of the Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Administration in Ganzi, and continued to innovate the forms of cultural tourism promotion. In 2021, the total number of tourists received by Ganzi will exceed 35 million and the tourism income will exceed 39 billion yuan.
“I love my hometown. I wanted to do more for it while people still appreciate my videos online. That was my original intention,” he said.
“The internet has introduced us to the outside world, and it has brought the outside world to us,” he said. “Many people visit Ganzi, and the villagers not only increase their income and improve their quality of life, but also meet friends from all over the world and broaden their horizons.”
“Welcome to Ganzi and learn more about it. I will wait for you in Ganzi!” Liu Hong said.

Traditionally, robots have been hard, made of metal and other rigid material. But a team of scientists at Harvard University in the US has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus (章鱼).
Described in science journal Nature, the “Octobot” could pave the way for more effective autonomous robots that could be used in search,rescue and exploration. “The Octobot is minimal system which may serve as a foundation for a new generation of completely soft, autonomous robots” the study’s authors wrote.
Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. And they aren’t especially safe around humans, because they’re made out of hard and heavy parts that could be potentially dangerous to their users.
So researchers have been working on building soft robots for decades. They’re taken inspiration from nature, looking to animals from jellyfish to cockroaches, which are often made up of more flexible matter.
But creating a completely soft robot remains a challenge. Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power.
“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,” Barbara Mazzolai and Virgilio Mattoli of the Italian Institute of Technology’ Center for Micro-BioRobotics, wrote in a comment. “Soft robots might also open up new approaches to improving wellness and quality of life.”
8. What’s the special feature of “Octobot”?
A. It’s soft. B. It’s made of metal.
C. It’s very small. D. It looks like an octopus.
9. What’s the disadvantage of traditional robots?
A. They’re hard to control. B. They’re too heavy to move.
C. They can’t predict conditions. D. They can’t behave well all the time.
10. One of the biggest challenges is to build Octobot’s ________.
A. silicone body B. complex components
C. precise movements D. flexible power source
11. What’s the possible application of “Octobot”?
A. Medical research. B. Life rescue.
C. Machine operation. D. House cleaning.
【答案】8 A 9. D 10. D 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普类说明文,文章主要介绍了章鱼机器人的优点和投入应用的可能性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。从第一段 robots have been hard, made of metal,以及段尾has managed to build an entirely soft robot-one that draws inspiration from an octopus对比发现可知,Octobot机器人特点是它很柔软。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。从第三段第一句Robots built for precise, repetitive movements in a controlled environment don’t do so well on rough terrains (地形) or in unpredictable conditions. 及本段内容可知,传统机器人无法在崎岖的地形上很好地运行,此外,由于沉重的金属部件,传统机器人可能会对人体产生伤害,据此可推断出,传统机器人的缺点是他们不能一直表现得很好。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。从倒数第二段,Even if engineers build a silicone (硅酮) body, it’s still a grand challenge to construct flexible versions of essential parts, such as a source of power. 可知,即使工程师利用硅酮制造出了软体机器人的身体,但是制作柔韧性强的关键部件仍然面临巨大的挑战,比如动力来源。据此可知,最大的挑战之一是柔韧性强的动力来源,故选D。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。从文章最后一段“Although soft robotics is still in its early stage, it holds great promise for several applications, such as search-rescue operations and exploration,”可知,尽管对软体机器人的开发和研究还处于早期阶段,但它适用于诸如搜索救援和探索等任务,故选B。
D
Growing crops in piling rows indoors under controllable artificial lights can produce more food per square foot while using less land and water than traditional outdoor farms. But this vertical farming technique is also energy intensive and expensive. Researchers are now finding that adjusting light to cater to the unique requirements of each crop can promote stronger, healthier growth and simultaneously cut down on energy use.
Researchers have developed a computer program that can control lighting to better both photosynthesis (光合作用) and electric bills. The computer program adjusts the intensity of grow lights hourly based on the changing cost of electricity.
This “smart lighting” could potentially cut vertical farms’ electricity costs by up to 12 percent, says Leo Marcelis, leader of the research team. Such savings could lead to tens of thousands of dollars in annual cost reductions, backed by data from the 2021 Global CEA Census Report — a survey of the indoor and controlled environment agriculture industry.
But how might indoor crops grow well under dynamic lighting? Marcelis and his colleagues tested how leafy greens reacted to light patterns that changed hourly. Plants were exposed to varying light intensities: one group of plants grew under high-then-low intensity lighting intervals (间隔), while another enjoyed brighter mornings and dimmer afternoons. Interestingly, both conditions resulted in leaves and mature weights similar to those grown under standard fixed lighting.
While the new program operated without predetermined lighting conditions, Marcelis indicates there is potential for reducing electricity costs. Continued research that tests dynamic lighting on larger scales is needed, as the research was carried out at the single-plant level, but not yet at the whole crop stand level, mentioned Marcelis. He also cautions against expecting immediate benefits from dynamic lighting for vertical farming. Other critical issues remain to be resolved before vertical farming can help feed the world.
12. What is a disadvantage of vertical farming?
A. Cost-effective. B. Labor-intensive.
C. Energy-consuming. D. Technically-challenging.
13. What influences the adjustments of grow light intensity?
A. Variations in power costs. B. Growth stages of the crops.
C. Outdoor lighting conditions. D. Changing electricity supplies.
14. What did researchers find about indoor crops?
A. They grow better under fixed lighting.
B. They remain uninfluenced by sunlight.
C. They output more under dynamic lighting.
D. They react similarly to varying light patterns.
15. What may Marcelis agree with?
A. There are still some limitations in the research.
B. The new program helps save on electricity bills.
C. Vertical farming will be a major trend in the future.
D. Dynamic lighting is a useful way to get rid of hunger.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了垂直农业的相关信息,包括其优缺点、开发智能照明计算机程序以解决能源成本问题,以及室内作物对不同照明条件的反应研究结果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Growing crops in piling rows indoors under controllable artificial lights can produce more food per square foot while using less land and water than traditional outdoor farms. But this vertical farming technique is also energy intensive and expensive. (在可控的人造光下,在室内成排种植作物可以比传统的户外农场每平方英尺生产更多的食物,同时使用更少的土地和水。但这种垂直农业技术也是需要密集且昂贵的能源。)”可知,垂直农业的一个缺点是很耗能的。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“The computer program adjusts the intensity of grow lights hourly based on the changing cost of electricity.(计算机程序根据不断变化的电力成本每小时调整生长灯的强度)”可知,电力成本的变化影响生长光强度的调整。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第四段“But how might indoor crops grow well under dynamic lighting? Marcelis and his colleagues tested how leafy greens reacted to light patterns that changed hourly. Plants were exposed to varying light intensities: one group of plants grew under high-then-low intensity lighting intervals (间隔), while another enjoyed brighter mornings and dimmer afternoons. Interestingly, both conditions resulted in leaves and mature weights similar to those grown under standard fixed lighting.(但是,室内作物在动态照明下如何生长良好呢?Marcelis和他的同事们测试了绿叶蔬菜对每小时变化的光线模式的反应。植物暴露在不同的光照强度下:一组植物在高强度和低强度的光照间隔下生长,而另一组植物则享受更明亮的早晨和更暗淡的下午。有趣的是,这两种条件都导致叶子和成熟重量与标准固定光照下生长的叶子和成熟体重相似)”可知,研究人员发现,室内作物在不同的光线模式下反应相似。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“He also cautions against expecting immediate benefits from dynamic lighting for vertical farming. Other critical issues remain to be resolved before vertical farming can help feed the world.(他还警告说,不要指望动态照明能为垂直农业带来立竿见影的好处。在垂直农业能够帮助养活世界之前,其他关键问题仍有待解决)”可推知,这项研究仍然存在一些局限性,还有关键问题仍有待解决。故选A项。
第二节 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why People May Stare at You
You may have experienced the situation where someone staring at you, such as when you’re quietly seated on a bus, only to find that the person across from you is looking at your feet. Did you put on two different shoes? No, you check your shoes — both are the same. ___16___
A new study by Hannah Scott and colleagues from the University of London suggested that people stare because faces, especially the eyes, provide many useful non-verbal clues about a person’s mental state. ___17___ Observing what others look at offers a glimpse into their thoughts.
___18___ The study also found that people may focus on others’ lips during talks. If you feel someone’s gaze on your mouth while speaking, it’s likely not an indication of romantic interest, but rather that they might not hear you well. Similarly, people may look at your hands when you gesture. As they may be trying to understand your actions when you are talking or performing a task.
The study showed that people tend to direct their gaze at the part of the body that provides the most information ___19___ They get the audience to focus on their faces while performing hand tricks. This technique helps switch attention from their hands during card tricks or coin magic.
Scott’s study concluded that people are not naturally biased to focus on someone’s face. Instead, they are drawn to the body parts that provide the most relevant information. ___20___ But when someone is performing a manual task, it’s the hands that draw the gaze. This also explains why magicians often talk to engage their audience’s attention on their faces while performing tricks with their hands.
A. So, what causes such stares?
B. But it’s not just eyes that draw stares.
C. The eyes, contain socially relevant information.
D. This explains how magicians apply misdirection.
E. If someone is speaking, the eyes attract attention.
F. Sometimes, such intense stares can make us feel uneasy.
G. The way people talk can also attract stares during conversations.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们喜欢凝视他人的原因。
【16题详解】
根据上文“You may have experienced the situation where someone staring at you, such as when you’re quietly seated on a bus, only to find that the person across from you is looking at your feet. Did you put on two different shoes? No, you check your shoes — both are the same.(你可能经历过有人盯着你看的情况,比如当你安静地坐在公共汽车上时,却发现对面的人在看你的脚。你穿了两只不同的鞋吗?不,你检查你的鞋子——两者是一样的)”结合下文解释凝视的原因可知,本句为过渡句,引出后文人们喜欢凝视的原因。故A选项“那么,是什么导致了这样的凝视呢?”符合语境,故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文“A new study by Hannah Scott and colleagues from the University of London suggested that people stare because faces, especially the eyes, provide many useful non-verbal clues about a person’s mental state.(伦敦大学的汉娜·斯科特及其同事的一项新研究表明,人们之所以盯着别人看,是因为脸,尤其是眼睛,提供了许多关于一个人精神状态的有用的非语言线索)”可知,上文提到人脸提供了一些精神状态的线索,且强调了眼睛包含信息更多,故C选项“眼睛包含与社交相关的信息”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“The study also found that people may focus on others’ lips during talks. If you feel someone’s gaze on your mouth while speaking, it’s likely not an indication of romantic interest, but rather that they might not hear you well. Similarly, people may look at your hands when you gesture. As they may be trying to understand your actions when you are talking or performing a task.(研究还发现,人们在谈话时可能会关注他人的嘴唇。如果你在说话的时候感觉到有人盯着你的嘴看,这很可能不是对你有好感,而是他们可能听不清你说的话。同样,当你做手势时,人们可能会看着你的手。因为当你说话或执行任务时,他们可能会试图理解你的行为)”可知,后文提到对话的时候人们会关注他人的嘴唇,即不只关注眼睛。故B选项“但吸引目光的不只是眼睛”符合语境,故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“The study showed that people tend to direct their gaze at the part of the body that provides the most information.(研究表明,人们倾向于把目光投向提供最多信息的身体部位)”以及后文“They get the audience to focus on their faces while performing hand tricks. This technique helps switch attention from their hands during card tricks or coin magic.(他们在表演手技时让观众把注意力集中在他们的脸上。这项技术有助于在玩纸牌或硬币魔术时将注意力从他们的手上转移开)”可知,后文提到了表演魔术,推测是用魔术师进行举例说明。故D选项“这就解释了魔术师是如何误导别人的”符合语境,故选D。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Scott’s study concluded that people are not naturally biased to focus on someone’s face. Instead, they are drawn to the body parts that provide the most relevant information.(斯科特的研究得出的结论是,人们不会自然地偏向于关注别人的脸。相反,它们会被吸引到提供最相关信息的身体部位)”可知,本句承接上文,具体说明被吸引到关注的身体部位是什么。故E选项“如果有人在说话,眼睛会吸引注意力”符合语境,故选E。

第二节(满分25分)
52. 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。续写的词数应为150左右。
On a warm afternoon, we first saw “Big Red” when my father, mother, and I (Frank) stopped as usual to have a look and do a bit of dreaming at Eaton’s department store window on our way home.
Amongst beautiful toys lay a stunning red satin (缎子) dress. Mother’s eyes fixed on it. “My goodness,” she whispered, “Look at that”, She then glanced down at her own heavy grey wool coat, worn every winter for as long as I could remember. Mother, constantly doing chores like laundry, tending pigs, and gardening, always wore practical housedresses and an apron (围裙). She owned just one or two“special” dresses for significant events and made most of our comfortable, simple clothes.
“What a silly dress”, she said to herself, shaking her head. “Who on earth would want such a big thing?” Yet, as we walked away, she turned back for one last look. “My goodness! You’d think they’d display something useful.”
As Mother’s Day approached, the red dress was soon forgotten. Mother, intensely practical, never spent money on non-essentials (必需品). “There are things we need more than this,” she’d insist. Choosing her gift was difficult. When asked, she requested only useful items like tea towels or a new basin.
During our last trip to town before Mother’s Day, with us driving up Main Street, Mother suddenly shouted: “Look”, She pointed excitedly as father drove past Eaton’s. “That big red dress is gone”, she exclaimed in disbelief. Shaking her head, she questioned, “Who’d be fool enough to buy such a dress?” But I was certain I was aware of a distinct trace of longing (一丝渴望) beneath her words. The absence of the dress seemed to highlight its beauty rather than erase it from memory.
Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
On the morning of Mother’s Day, Mother got a large box that read “Eaton’s Finest Basin” on its wrapping paper. The instant she saw the box, she froze as if rooted to the ground. Mother thought it was a basin, but it turned out to be the “Big Red” dress when she opened the box. Her prior confusion had given way to excitement for gaining the dress. At that moment, I tiptoed to her and said loudly, “Happy Mother’s Day”, sneaking a smile at my father. Mother was nearly jumping in the air because of my surprising wish. “We noticed your longing for that dress, so we bought it as a gift for you.” I added in a sincere tone.
Paragraph 2:
“Oh Frank…” She choked up and couldn’t say a word, tears welling up in her eyes. I looked at her, with tears sparkling in my eyes to see my mother so emotional. “Mom, why not try it on?” Hearing my words, she grasped the dress and tried it on, looking at me expectantly. Within minutes, I saw my mom wearing the red dress and walking in front of me, patting her shoulder and stretching the sleeves. “Wow, you are so beautiful” My father stood there, as if glued on the ground. Mother’s dress was waving in the breeze and brightening under the sunshine. “Tough as life is, I have had the most precious thing— your love.” Mom’s words went like a warm stream.
【解析】
