A 【解析】 【原文】M: In today’s program, I’m with Sheila Forbes, a sports psychologist who helps professional footballers prepare mentally for their performance. Welcome, Sheila. W: Thank you. M: So Sheila, how would you define your role? W: Basically, I have to make sure they understand what I do and show them what they’ll get out of it. I train them how to structure their thinking, to be more confident about themselves, and not to be influenced by the apparent confidence of opposing players. M: So what does a sports psychologist need? W: Well, I’ve worked in various sports, none of which I’ve ever performed in. What is needed, though, is that you understand the mental demands of those sports, and are able to adapt in your work. But if you’re not honest to your clients about what you realistically can and can’t do, you won’t progress very far. M: Is there anything you dislike about the job? W: Well, some people suggest that we are simply doing this for financial gain and realistically can’t help top sports people improve in their game. But all we’re doing is ensuring that athletes achieve a consistently high level of performance. There’s a constant shift in environments, but I find that the techniques you learn are highly adaptable, as long as you’re creative enough to do that. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Here’s our guide to the best marathons (马拉松) in the world next year. Great Welsh Marathon Where: Carmarthenshire, Wales When:16 March, 2025 Offering sea views and salty fresh air along Millennium Coastal Path, the Great Welsh Marathon shows the beautiful southern coastline of Wales. The country’s oldest marathon starts and finishes at Pembrey Country Park and follows an out-and-back route (路线). It’s a piece of cake. However, since it is located along the coast, it is likely to be influenced by the wind. Angkor Empire Marathon Where: Siem Reap, Cambodia When:4 August, 2025 Head to Cambodia to take part in a marathon set in a World Heritage (遗产) site of great historical importance. The route starts and finishes in front of the Central Sanctuary of Angkor Wat. Along the way, you’ ll pass some temples. Former runners have described the experience as “unforgettable”. Rimi Vilnius Marathon Where: Vilnius, Lithuania When: 8 September, 2025 First introduced in 2001, the Rimi Vilnius Marathon is one of the fastest growing marathons in the Baltics and the biggest running event in Lithuania. The route spreads through the World Heritage-listed old town, which has a collection of classical buildings, and passes green parks and the riverbank of Neris. Your trip won’t be short of scenery (风景). Walt Disney World Marathon Where: Orlando, Florida When: 12 January, 2025 Covering 26.2 miles through all four Disney Parks, the Walt Disney World Marathon gives you a chance to see Disney characters and the castle. Such elements of the Disney World Parks make for a great, supportive running environment. 21. What may be a disadvantage of the Great Welsh Marathon? A. The salty air. B. The sea wind. C. Its old dirt road. D. Its out-and-back route. 22. What does the text say about the Rimi Vilnius Marathon? A. It offers runners views of the sea. B. Its starting point is the riverbank of Neris. C. It is the biggest running event in Orlando. D. Its route passes through a World Heritage-listed area. 23. Which marathon takes place the earliest? A. Rimi Vilnius Marathon. B. Great Welsh Marathon. C. Walt Disney World Marathon. D. Angkor Empire Marathon. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍四个著名的马拉松比赛。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据 Great Welsh Marathon 部分的“However, since it is located along the coast, it is likely to be influenced by the wind.(然而，由于它位于沿海地区，它很可能受到风的影响。)”可知，海风可能是Great Welsh Marathon的一个劣势。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Rimi Vilnius Marathon部分的“The route spreads through the World Heritage-listed old town(这条路线穿过被列入世界遗产名录的老城区)”可知，Rimi Vilnius Marathon的路线经过一个列入世界遗产名录的地区。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据这四个马拉松介绍中的时间信息：Great Welsh Marathon开始的时间是2025年3月16日，Angkor Empire Marathon开始的时间是2025年8月4日，Rimi Vilnius Marathon开始的时间是2025年9月8日，Walt Disney World Marathon开始的时间是2025年1月12日可知，Walt Disney World Marathon举行得最早。故选C项。 B The only thing separating my two worlds is the Rio Grande river— it might not be much, but it’s enough for me to feel a big difference in customs and values. People who are not from El Paso, Texas, United States or a border city might not understand what it's like to grow up between two places at once. I grew up in a Mexican household. My dad was born in El Paso but lived nearly his entire life in Ciudad Juárez until I was born, and my mom was born and raised in Mexico. She didn’t move to the US until she had me, when she was 28. My first language was Spanish, but my parents did not want me in bilingual classes. So, instead, it was all English for me at school. English was all I spoke among friends at school, while Spanish was the designated language with family, and I hardly ever mixed them. I also spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, who lived in Juárez and you could say helped raise and shape who I am today. It's thanks to them that I perfected my Spanish, learned to read and write in that language — despite never taking classes—and fell in love with my Mexican culture by traveling to Mexico City and around the country. Along with being bilingual came a sense of having a double identity. I enjoyed watching Spanish TV series with my grandma as much as American series such as The Amanda Show. And the same went for music. I loved listening to Spanish singers, as much as American pop singers. It wasn’t until high school that I began to meet other people whose backgrounds I could relate to. I was introduced to friends with whom I identified because they were Mexican American and who had also been raised in El Paso but often visited family in Juárez. It was also during these years that I started going out to party in Juárez. Growing up on the border is pretty special. Thanks to my bicultural upbringing, I learned to enjoy and appreciate both sides of me without ever questioning who I am, because the truth is that I need both of those relationships and cultural identities to feel complete. 24. What do we know about the author’s upbringing background? A. He was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. B. He attended school in the US from a young age. C. His parents were both born and raised in Mexico. D. He showed his bilingual ability to his classmates at school. 25. Who helped the author learn to read and write in Spanish? A. His grandparents. B. His parents. C. His teachers. D. His friends. 26. Why does the author mention the Spanish TV series and American series? A. To contrast the two styles of TV series. B. To illustrate the author's wide interests. C. To prove the author fits into both cultures well. D. To show grandma and the author have the same hobbies. 27. How does the author feel about his bicultural identity? A. Proud. B. Confused. C. Worried. D. Awkward 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的双文化教育，作者学会了享受和欣赏两种关系和文化，作者对自己的双重文化身份感到自豪。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“She didn’t move to the US until she had me, when she was 28. My first language was Spanish, but my parents did not want me in bilingual classes. So, instead, it was all English for me at school.(直到她28岁生下我，她才搬到美国。我的第一语言是西班牙语，但我父母不希望我上双语班。所以，相反，我在学校都是英语)”可知，作者的母亲在作者出生后来到了美国，作者从小就在美国上学。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I also spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, who lived in Juárez and you could say helped raise and shape who I am today. It's thanks to them that I perfected my Spanish, learned to read and write in that language — despite never taking classes—and fell in love with my Mexican culture by traveling to Mexico City and around the country.(我也花了很多时间和我的外祖父母在一起，他们住在Juárez，你可以说他们帮助培养和塑造了今天的我。多亏了他们，我完善了西班牙语，学会了用西班牙语阅读和写作——尽管从未上过课——并通过去墨西哥城和全国各地旅行而爱上了墨西哥文化。)”可知，作者的祖父母帮助作者学习西班牙语阅读和写作。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Along with being bilingual came a sense of having a double identity. I enjoyed watching Spanish TV series with my grandma as much as American series such as The Amanda Show. And the same went for music. I loved listening to Spanish singers, as much as American pop singers.(双语带来了双重身份的感觉。我喜欢和奶奶一起看西班牙电视剧，也喜欢看美国电视剧，比如《阿曼达秀》。音乐也是如此。我喜欢听西班牙歌手的歌，也喜欢听美国流行歌手的歌。)”可知，作者提到了西班牙电视剧和美剧是为了证明作者能很好地融入两种文化。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Growing up on the border is pretty special. Thanks to my bicultural upbringing, I learned to enjoy and appreciate both sides of me without ever questioning who I am, because the truth is that I need both of those relationships and cultural identities to feel complete.(在边境长大是很特别的。由于我的双文化教育，我学会了享受和欣赏我的两面，而从不质疑我是谁，因为事实是，我需要这两种关系和文化身份来感到完整。)”可知，作者对自己的双重文化身份感到自豪。故选A。 C We’ve all been in a position where our phone runs out of battery, but we don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced. The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. “Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are comprised of silicon (硅), wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.” Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype has shown how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. Solar power inventions are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species. 28. Why is the new fabric special? A. It can change color in the sun. B. It can adjust body temperature. C. It can produce electricity from sunlight. D. It is much tougher than standard clothing. 29. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Distinction. B. Mismatch. C. Improvement. D. Similarity. 30. How does the invention impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore? A. By making electronic devices much cheaper. B. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment. C. By making us more aware of our energy consumption. D. By gradually increasing our dependence on electronic devices. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Solar-Powered Fabric: Charging Devices on the Go. B. Future Fabric Trends: Beyond Traditional Textiles. C. An Inventive Silicon: Recycling for Energy Efficiency. D. Traditional Fabric Technology: Challenges in Development. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了诺丁汉特伦特大学研发的一种新型太阳能充电布料及其应用潜力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced.(现在，最新的时尚突破将“运动服”带向了一个全新的方向：诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究人员开发了一种新的面料，可以让小型设备保持活力)”以及第二段“The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices.(样品包括1200块微型太阳能电池板，每块只有5乘1.5毫米。它可以产生400毫瓦的电能，足以给电子设备充电)”可知，该布料的核心特性是利用太阳能发电。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine.(我们开发的这种材料在外观和性能上与任何普通织物一样，因为它可以在机器中洗涤)”以及划线词后文“in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing(当与标准服装相比时)”可知，这种材料在外观和性能上与任何普通织物一样，说明穿戴者无法注意到织物成分的差异。故“discrepancy”在此处指“差异”或“区别”。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype has shown how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore.(“电子织物确实有潜力改变人们与技术的关系，因为这个原型已经向我们展示了如何摆脱在墙上为许多设备充电，”西奥多补充道)”可知，该发明旨在减少对固定充电设备的依赖。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced.(现在，最新的时尚突破将“运动服”带向了一个全新的方向：诺丁汉特伦特大学的研究人员开发了一种新的面料，可以让小型设备保持活力)”以及文章介绍了诺丁汉特伦特大学研发的一种新型太阳能充电布料及其应用潜力。选项A“太阳能织物：移动充电设备”准确概括主题，可以作为最佳标题。故选A。 D In many people’s eyes, artist Mark Rothko's enormous paintings are nothing more than masses of color. Yet, a painting can be worth nearly $100 million. Besides, Pablo Picasso’s twisted faces attract some viewers but terrify others. Why does the phenomenon happen? The answer may lie in our brain networks. Researchers have now developed an algorithm(算法) that can predict art preference by analyzing how a person’s brain breaks down visual information and decides whether a painting is “good”. The findings show for the first time how basic features of a painting combine with human judgment to give art value in our minds. Most people, including researchers, consider art preference to be various, says Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist(神经学家) at the University of Pennsylvania who was not involved in the study. In some cases, personal preference is rooted in biology. For instance, sugary foods help us survive. and people tend to share similar standards of beauty when it comes to human faces and landscapes. However, when it comes to art, we seem to care about and value relatively arbitrary(任意的) things, according to Chatterjee. To figure out how the brain forms value judgments about art, neuroscientist Kiyohito ligaya and his colleagues first asked more than 1,300 volunteers on the website Amazon Mechanical Turk to rate a selection of 825 paintings from four Western types including impressionism, cubism, abstract art and color field painting. Volunteers were all over the age of 18, but researchers didn't give exact information about their familiarity with art or their ethnic (种族的) or national origin. The researchers revealed that paintings preferred by the same groups of people tended to share certain visual characteristics. These characteristics all fell into two categories: “Low-level” characteristics, like contrast and color, were intrinsic (固有的) to an image; “High-level” characteristics, like the emotion a painting brought about, required human understanding. Once the method was trained, it could analyze these characteristics in new paintings and accurately predict which works a person would like. 32. What do the cases in Paragraph I mainly indicate? A. The value of different works of art. B. The characteristics of different artists. C. The importance of facial appearances. D. The differences in people's appreciation of beauty. 33. Which of the following ideas may Anjan Chatterjee support? A. People’s preference is mainly rooted in biology. B. People usually share common feelings towards scenery. C. Researchers’ art preference is different from others’. D. Art works have fewer arbitrary things to value 34. Which of the following factors was taken into account during the study? A. The identity of the participants. B. The background of the paintings. C. The wide range of paintings. D. The national origin of the participants. 35. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The findings of the study. B. The researchers’ different viewpoints. C. The process of the study. D. The researchers’ prediction for related research. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人们对不同的艺术作品的评价不同，经过研究人员的最新调查发现，这与人们的大脑网络结构有关。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段的描述“In many people’s eyes, artist Mark Rothko's enormous paintings are nothing more than masses of color. Yet, a painting can be worth nearly $100 million. Besides, Pablo Picasso’s twisted faces attract some viewers but terrify others.(在许多人眼里，艺术家马克·罗斯科的巨大画作只不过是大量的色彩。然而，一幅画可能价值近1亿美元。此外，巴勃罗·毕加索扭曲的面孔吸引了一些观众，但也吓到了其他人。)”及第二段的分析“Why does the phenomenon happen? The answer may lie in our brain networks. Researchers have now developed an algorithm(算法) that can predict art preference by analyzing how a person’s brain breaks down visual information and decides whether a painting is “good”. The findings show for the first time how basic features of a painting combine with human judgment to give art value in our minds. (为什么这种现象会发生呢？答案可能在于我们的大脑网络。研究人员现在已经开发了一种算法，可以通过分析一个人的大脑如何分解视觉信息并决定一幅画是否“好”来预测艺术偏好。研究发现首次展示了一幅画的基本特征是如何与人类的判断结合起来，在我们的头脑中赋予艺术价值的方式。)”可知，第一段的两个例子主要是用来说明人们对美的感知不同，引出话题。故选D。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Most people, including researchers, consider art preference to be various, says Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist(神经学家) at the University of Pennsylvania who was not involved in the study.In some cases, personal preference is rooted in biology. For instance, sugary foods help us survive. and people tend to share similar standards of beauty when it comes to human faces and landscapes.( 宾夕法尼亚大学的神经学家，没有参与研究的Anjan Chatterjee说，大多数人，包括研究人员，认为艺术偏好是不同的。在某些情况下，个人偏好根植于生物学。例如，含糖的食物可以帮助我们生存。当涉及到人脸和风景时，人们往往共享相似的美丽标准)”可知，Anjan Chatterjee认为人们对于风景的看法可能是相同的。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段 “… a selection of 825 paintings from four Western types including impressionism, cubism, abstract art and color field painting.( 精选了印象派、立体派、抽象艺术和色彩领域绘画的825幅画作。)”可知，研究考虑了不同类型的绘画作品。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The researchers revealed that paintings preferred by the same groups of people tended to share certain visual characteristics. These characteristics all fell into two categories… (研究人员发现，同一组人更喜欢的绘画往往具有特定的视觉特征。这些特征都可以分为两类……)”以及下文的解释可知，本段主要总结研究发现。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you're in good company.

No longer a shy first grader, he felt confident and ready to tackle new challenges. However, there was one person he hoped to avoid: Jessica Hart. She was loud, bossy, and always made fun of him. Even though it was a new year, Jared was sure she wouldn’t change. When he entered the classroom, he saw Jessica sitting by the window, laughing and talking loudly. Jared rolled his eyes and took a seat, hoping to stay out of her way. He focused on his work all day, determined to avoid any interaction with her. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. During recess (课间休息) as Jared was walking to the swings, he noticed Jessica standing by the big oak tree, her hands on her hips, looking upset. She was staring at something in the tree. Jared approached cautiously, wondering what was going on. “What’s wrong, Jessica?” he asked, trying to sound as uninterested as possible. Jessica looked up, her face filled with panic. “The kittens! They’re stuck in the tree!” Jared frowned, looking up at the tall oak. Sure enough, settled on one of the highest branches, were two tiny kittens, mewing helplessly. Jessica’s face turned red with embarrassment. “I was trying to climb up to get them, but they keep climbing higher!” she explained, her voice trembling. “I don’t know what to do!” Jared hesitated. He hadn’t planned on being the hero today. He had barely spoken to Jessica outside of the classroom, let alone had any reason to help her. But the sound of those helpless little kittens made something in him change. “I’ll help,” he said before he could think twice. Jessica stared at him in surprise. “You? But you don’t even like me!” Jared shrugged. “Maybe I don’t like you, but I can’t just leave the kittens up there.” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)开头已给出。 With determination, Jared approached the tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that moment on, something shifted between them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With determination, Jared approached the tree. Carefully, he started to climb, his heart racing as he reached for each branch. Jessica watched below, her face filled with concern. When Jared finally reached the kittens, he gently gathered the frightened kittens, carefully making his way back down. As soon as he reached the ground, Jessica rushed over, her face glowing with gratitude. “Thank you, Jared! I was so worried!” she said. Jared smiled, feeling a sense of pride he hadn’t expected. “It was no big deal.” Jessica’s eyes softened, and for the first time, she looked at Jared with respect. From that moment on, something shifted between them. Their tension disappeared as if it had never existed. The next day, Jessica came over during recess and sat next to Jared. They chatted about everything — school, hobbies, and even shared their favorite games to play. Jared discovered that Jessica wasn’t as bad as he had thought. She was funny, kind, and, as it turned out, she loved animals just as much as he did. Their bond was sealed, not by words, but by the kindness shown that day — the day Jared saved the kittens. 【解析】 【导语】本文通过以人物为线索，讲述了Jared在二年级第一天中意外帮助Jessica解救困在树上的小猫，打破了他们之间的隔阂，形成新的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jared下定决心，走近那棵树。”可知，第一段可描写Jared开始攀爬到拯救小猫的过程以及Jessica的感激 。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那一刻起，他们之间发生了某种变化”可知，第二段可描写Jared成功救下小猫后他们之间成为了好朋友，以及这种转变的原因。 2.续写线索：Jared救猫——Jessica——感激——成为好朋友——转变的原因 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①跳动：race/ pound ②喜欢：love/fall in love with ③着陆：reach /land ④期望：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①害怕的： frightened /scared ②担忧的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1] When Jared finally reached the kittens, he gently gathered the frightened kittens, carefully making his way back down.

B The only thing separating my two worlds is the Rio Grande river— it might not be much, but it’s enough for me to feel a big difference in customs and values. People who are not from El Paso, Texas, United States or a border city might not understand what it's like to grow up between two places at once. I grew up in a Mexican household. My dad was born in El Paso but lived nearly his entire life in Ciudad Juárez until I was born, and my mom was born and raised in Mexico. She didn’t move to the US until she had me, when she was 28. My first language was Spanish, but my parents did not want me in bilingual classes. So, instead, it was all English for me at school. English was all I spoke among friends at school, while Spanish was the designated language with family, and I hardly ever mixed them. I also spent a lot of time with my maternal grandparents, who lived in Juárez and you could say helped raise and shape who I am today. It's thanks to them that I perfected my Spanish, learned to read and write in that language — despite never taking classes—and fell in love with my Mexican culture by traveling to Mexico City and around the country. Along with being bilingual came a sense of having a double identity. I enjoyed watching Spanish TV series with my grandma as much as American series such as The Amanda Show. And the same went for music. I loved listening to Spanish singers, as much as American pop singers. It wasn’t until high school that I began to meet other people whose backgrounds I could relate to I was introduced to friends with whom I identified because they were Mexican American and who had also been raised in El Paso but often visited family in Juárez. It was also during these years that I started going out to party in Juárez. Growing up on the border is pretty special. Thanks to my bicultural upbringing, I learned to enjoy and appreciate both sides of me without ever questioning who I am, because the truth is that I need both of those relationships and cultural identities to feel complete. 24. What do we know about the author’s upbringing background? A. He was born in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. B. He attended school in the US from a young age. C. His parents were both born and raised in Mexico. D. He showed his bilingual ability to his classmates at school. 25. Who helped the author learn to read and write in Spanish? A. His grandparents. B. His parents. C. His teachers. D. His friends. 26. Why does the author mention the Spanish TV series and American series? A. To contrast the two styles of TV series. B. To illustrate the author's wide interests. C. To prove the author fits into both cultures well. D. To show grandma and the author have the same hobbies. 27. How does the author feel about his bicultural identity? A. Proud. B. Confused. C. Worried. D. Awkward C We’ve all been in a position where our phone runs out of battery, but we don’t have anywhere to charge it. Well, what if the clothing you were wearing could help you out? It’s an option that isn’t as strange as you might think. Now the latest fashion breakthrough is taking “activewear” in an entirely new direction: researchers at Nottingham Trent University have developed a new fabric that can keep small devices juiced. The prototype (样品) includes 1,200 tiny solar panels, each measuring just 5 by 1.5 millimeters. It can generate 400 milliwatts of electrical energy, enough to charge electronic devices. “Until now very few people have considered their clothing products could be used for charging electronic devices,” explains Theodore Hughes-Riley, an associate professor of Electronic Textiles. “The material which we have developed appears and behaves the same as any ordinary fabric, as it can be washed in a machine. Besides, because the tiny solar cells are comprised of silicon (硅), wearers aren’t able to even notice a discrepancy in the fabric’s composition when it is compared to standard clothing.” Potential products include items like outerwear, backpacks and other carrying bags using the material, all of which could allow wearers to keep their devices charged during the day. “Electronic fabrics really have the potential to change people’s relationship with technology, as this prototype has shown how we could do away with charging many devices on the wall,” adds Theodore. Solar power inventions are key to transitioning (转变) human society from fossil fuel technologies, and are coming into a variety of fields. The European Space Agency, for example, plans to experiment with solar panel systems orbiting above Earth. Since there are no real “days” or “nights” in space, potential solar power generation could be as much as 8 or 9 times greater than what’s currently achievable here on Earth’s surface. As powerful as that may one day be for us, it’s encouraging to know even changes like the composition of our clothing can help facilitate the necessary renewable energy shift for our species. 28. Why is the new fabric special? A. It can change color in the sun. B. It can adjust body temperature. C. It can produce electricity from sunlight. D. It is much tougher than standard clothing. 29. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Distinction. B. Mismatch. C. Improvement. D. Similarity. 30. How does the invention impact our relationship with technology according to Theodore? A. By making electronic devices much cheaper. B. By reducing the demand for fixed charging equipment. C. By making us more aware of our energy consumption. D. By gradually increasing our dependence on electronic devices. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Solar-Powered Fabric: Charging Devices on the Go. B. Future Fabric Trends: Beyond Traditional Textiles. C. An Inventive Silicon: Recycling for Energy Efficiency. D. Traditional Fabric Technology: Challenges in Development. D In many people’s eyes, artist Mark Rothko's enormous paintings are nothing more than masses of color. Yet, a painting can be worth nearly $100 million. Besides, Pablo Picasso’s twisted faces attract some viewers but terrify others. Why does the phenomenon happen? The answer may lie in our brain networks. Researchers have now developed an algorithm(算法) that can predict art preference by analyzing how a person’s brain breaks down visual information and decides whether a painting is “good”. The findings show for the first time how basic features of a painting combine with human judgment to give art value in our minds. Most people, including researchers, consider art preference to be various, says Anjan Chatterjee, a neurologist(神经学家) at the University of Pennsylvania who was not involved in the study. In some cases, personal preference is rooted in biology. For instance, sugary foods help us survive. and people tend to share similar standards of beauty when it comes to human faces and landscapes. However, when it comes to art, we seem to care about and value relatively arbitrary(任意的) things, according to Chatterjee. To figure out how the brain forms value judgments about art, neuroscientist Kiyohito ligaya and his colleagues first asked more than 1,300 volunteers on the website Amazon Mechanical Turk to rate a selection of 825 paintings from four Western types including impressionism, cubism, abstract art and color field painting. Volunteers were all over the age of 18, but researchers didn't give exact information about their familiarity with art or their ethnic (种族的) or national origin. The researchers revealed that paintings preferred by the same groups of people tended to share certain visual characteristics. These characteristics all fell into two categories: “Low-level” characteristics, like contrast and color, were intrinsic (固有的) to an image; “High-level” characteristics, like the emotion a painting brought about, required human understanding. Once the method was trained, it could analyze these characteristics in new paintings and accurately predict which works a person would like. 32. What do the cases in Paragraph I mainly indicate? A. The value of different works of art. B. The characteristics of different artists. C. The importance of facial appearances. D. The differences in people's appreciation of beauty. 33. Which of the following ideas may Anjan Chatterjee support? A. People’s preference is mainly rooted in biology. B. People usually share common feelings towards scenery. C. Researchers’ art preference is different from others’. D Art works have fewer arbitrary things to value 34. Which of the following factors was taken into account during the study? A. The identity of the participants. B. The background of the paintings. C The wide range of paintings. D. The national origin of the participants. 35. What’s the last paragraph mainly about? A. The findings of the study. B The researchers’ different viewpoints. C. The process of the study. D. The researchers’ prediction for related research. 第二节（共5小题；每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Amazing Benefits of Listening to Music If you love listening to music, you're in good company.

No longer a shy first grader, he felt confident and ready to tackle new challenges. However, there was one person he hoped to avoid: Jessica Hart. She was loud, bossy, and always made fun of him. Even though it was a new year, Jared was sure she wouldn’t change. When he entered the classroom, he saw Jessica sitting by the window, laughing and talking loudly. Jared rolled his eyes and took a seat, hoping to stay out of her way. He focused on his work all day, determined to avoid any interaction with her. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. During recess (课间休息), as Jared was walking to the swings, he noticed Jessica standing by the big oak tree, her hands on her hips, looking upset. She was staring at something in the tree. Jared approached cautiously, wondering what was going on. “What’s wrong, Jessica?” he asked, trying to sound as uninterested as possible. Jessica looked up, her face filled with panic. “The kittens! They’re stuck in the tree!” Jared frowned, looking up at the tall oak. Sure enough, settled on one of the highest branches, were two tiny kittens, mewing helplessly. Jessica’s face turned red with embarrassment. “I was trying to climb up to get them, but they keep climbing higher!” she explained, her voice trembling. “I don’t know what to do!” Jared hesitated. He hadn’t planned on being the hero today. He had barely spoken to Jessica outside of the classroom, let alone had any reason to help her. But the sound of those helpless little kittens made something in him change. “I’ll help,” he said before he could think twice. Jessica stared at him in surprise. “You? But you don’t even like me!” Jared shrugged. “Maybe I don’t like you, but I can’t just leave the kittens up there.” 注意：(1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)开头已给出。 With determination, Jared approached the tree. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From that moment on, something shifted between them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Could you start wrapping the cups? sure.
