The Netherlands Amsterdam hosts one of the world's largest street parties on New Year’s Eve.If you attend buy some oliebollen to eat a mid-night. It is usually believed that eating these deep fried oily balls will drive away evils spirits in the New Year. Dam Square (the craziest), Nieuwmarkt, and Leidseplein host unofficial street parties with music, fireworks and beer tents. Amsterdam's celebration is not for the casual partier: Some attendants have compared it to a war zone! Scotland Celebrating Hogmanay, which stands for the last day of the year, is a big deal in Scotland. It is so grand that it often overshadows Christmas. Christmas was outlawed by the Church of Scotland for nearly four centuries, and it didn't make a comeback until 1958. Though the holiday has regained its popularity, the New Year Festival of Hogmanay still holds a sacred (神圣的) place in Scottish hearts.AustraliaSydney Harbor hosts one of the biggest New Year's Eve celebrations in the world. It's mid-summer in the southern part of globe and thousands of people gather around the Opera House in advance. An air-plane show and a water display open the celebration at 6:00 pm . A family-friendly fireworks show starts at 9:00 pm, while the main attraction--the Harbor Light Parade is at midnight. The United States Each year, hundreds of thousands of people flock to New York City to see the Big Apple drop at midnight. This New Year’s Eve tradition actually began as a replacement for fireworks, which had been forbidden in New York. In addition to watching balls drop, in other US cities you can watch peaches, giant walleye, and other locally relevant symbols lowered as the clock strikes midnight. 21.What is eating oliebollen mainly related to? A. History B. Custom C. Literature D. Location 22.Travelers who like to see show on the water may go to______. A. Australia B. Scotland C.The Netherlands D. The United States 23.The passage may be taken from______. A. a geographic book B. a travelling research C. an advertisement D. a tourist brochure B There is a saying about the south-western Chinese province of Guizhou: Not three feet of flat land, not three days without rain, not a family with three silver coins.” But, with the help of a spicy sauce, Tao Huabi, also known as “China’s hottest woman”, has well and truly opposed this rule. Born in 1947, the eighth daughter of a poor family in a village of mountainous Guizhou, Tao did not go to school and did not learn to read or write. She spent her childhood hungry, and survived the Great Chinese Famine(饥荒) by eating plant roots, according to a biography on Weibo. When her husband died, she moved to the city of Guiyang and started selling noodles with a sauce that she made herself. She eventually opened the charmingly named Economical Restaurant in the 1990s. When a new highway brought truck drivers to Guiyang, she gave them free jars of the sauce and they spread the word. In 1996, she set a factory up in a house in Guiyang, and a year later Lao Gan Ma Special Flavour Foodstuffs Company was born. Miranda Brown, professor of Chinese studies at the University of Michigan,who is writing a book on the history of Chinese food,says that in China,Lao Gan Ma's popularity is mainly because her products are naturally Chinese consumers tend to want foods that perfectly mix regional flavors and use ingredients grown from the soil of those regions. And today Lao Gan Ma is also increasingly popular overseas, especially in the US. According to its website,the company produces 1.3 million bottles daily,Helping the historically poor Guizhou achieve 10.5% growth——the second fastest of every Chinese province that year,and ahead of the national rate of 6.7%. As for the godmother herself, an article in Yicai Global describes her as the Queen of a“red kingdom"of chili fields. 24.Why is the saying mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To serve as background information. C. To attract the interest of readers. D. To describe the present Guizhou. 25.What does the second paragraph focus on? A. Tao’s growth process. B. Tao’s living condition. B. The hardships faced by Tao. D. The development of the company. 26.According to Miranda Brown, what is the reason for Lao Gan Ma’s popularity? A. Low price. B. Spicy taste. C. Local ingredients. D. Positive comments. 27.What can we learn from Tao’s story? A. God helps those help themselves. B. Failure is the mother of success. C. Well begun, half done. D. Many hands make light work. C Scientists believed that if they could hit an asteroid(小行星) with an object travelling very fast, they could push the asteroid off the path it was on. So NASA came up with an experiment called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART. Engineers built a box-shaped spacecraft that was about the size of a small car and weighed 570 kilograms and equipped it with a special camera and computers that would allow it to find and follow the asteroid they had chosen for the experiment. Asteroids are rocky objects that move around the Sun. The smallest are the size of a large stone while some are up to l，000 kilometers in diameter（直径）．The asteroid that was the target for this test is called Dimombos, about 160 meters in diameter, or the size of a football stadium． It orbits （环绕）another larger asteroid，called Didymos. They are more than 7 million kilometers away from Earth and go around the Sun together, once every two years. The DART spacecraft was sent up in November 2021 and then orbited the Sun for 10 months following the path of Didymos and Dimorphos. Most of that time, Dimorphos was hidden by the sunlight reflecting off of the larger asteroid. On September 26, 2022, the spacecraft's camera noticed Dimorphos for the first time and its navigation（导航）system began to guide it through space towards its target. About an hour later, it crashed into Dimorphos at more than 22, 500 kilometers per hour. Scientists studied the data and images of the asteroids for the next two weeks and found that the orbit of Dimorphos has shortened from 11 hours and 55 minutes to 11 hours and 23 minutes: a 32-minute change.While this may seem like a very small change, it shows that-- if a dangerous asteroid was heading toward us-- it would be possible to knock it off its course, keeping Earth safe. The chances of Earth actually being hit by an asteroid large enough to cause damage are very small. 28.What is the purpose of the DART? A. To test whether scientists' idea is true or not. B. To know the weight of the asteroids going around the Sun. C. To learn about the number of asteroids getting close to Earth. D. To understand how asteroids move through space. 29. What can we learn about the target for the DART? A. It is as large as a stadium. B. It is 1, 000 kilometers wide. C. It is a box-shaped asteroid. D. It is an asteroid called Didymos. 30. What did the DART spacecraft do first ante being sent up? A. It hid the reflected sunlight. B. It followed the path of the target asteroid. C. It landed safely on the target asteroid. D. It flew through space to the target asteroid. 31.What does the author think of the result of the DART? A. Doubtful. B. Unsatisfying. C. Unexpected. D.Useful.  D “A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It's just that we can't bear the sounds." Scientists Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stress f situations. Plants produce a high frequency clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged,the clicks become more regular. They also made different sounds, depending on whether they were thirsty or injured."Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound," said Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the research study. Focusing particularly on tomatoes, wheat and corn, the plants were placed in a soundproof room and recorded by microphones. Some plants were starved of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm(算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants. On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are the 40-80kHz region, far beyond our hearing. “The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,”Hadany tells us. Though this has yet to be proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat. A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them. 32.What can we know from the six·year experiment? A. Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency. B. Plants produce irregular sound in certain stressful situations. C. Plants make sounds with a much lower frequency when stressed. D. Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation. 33. What is the algorithm used for in the research? A. To record the sounds. B. To control the sounds. C. To produced the sounds D. To identify the sounds. 34. What has been proven by scientists according to the passage? A. Plants can hear each other's cry for help. B. Animals can hear the sounds made by plants. C. Plants can make sounds and respond to sound waves. D. Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Sounds That We Can't Hear B. Beautiful Songs from Plants C. Plats React to Different Types of Stress D. Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed       第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项、选项中有两项为多余选项。 I vividly remember the first time a teacher told me how to learn. Not what to learn. One Friday afternoon our history teacher showed us a way to learn lists of key words and ideas-- using ages and stories. In just a few minutes he proved how easy it was to take charge of the memory process. 36 What a pity I didn't meet him until I was 15! Even more depressing is that many students are never shown how to learn. 37 So, in case you weren't one of the lucky ones, here are some important things to learn about how learning really works.___38__ It's no good just being there for a lesson. You have to be involved, use learning skills, and know which ones work best for you. Start with these tips and tricks every mouth!Don't chook your memory too soon. There's not much point in testing yourself straightway.__39__ Instead, wait until it's a bit more challenging to remember what you've watched, read or been told. Recapping（概括）it then will leave a much stronger trace in your brain.Learners don’t need to be loners. Did you get many chances to learn collaboratively（合作地)? If not, what a shame! It plays a big part in remembering well. 40 Above all, don't be held back by any memory myths you picked up at school. Take steps like these to start remembering more, and be a "class act" in all your learning from here!Reading Isn't great for memoryLearn in company when you can.Learning isn’t an event: it’s a process.That's just shot term memory, and it quickly fades.We hoped to know how to do it in a fun, fast and effective way.In fact, they often end up with some very unhelpful ideas about memory.He sparked an interest in the art and science of learning that still inspires me today. A. Learning in company when you can. B. Learning isn’t an event, it’s a process. C. That’s just short term memory, and it quickly fades. D. We hoped to know how to do it in a fun, fast and effective way. E. In fact they often end up with some very unhelpful ideas about memory. F.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, had to take a fresh start to fit into the city life.One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “ I don't have any special skills to share.”Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “ How about singing together in the talent show? ” She grinned, “ I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home.I can't help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.“ You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “ A bigoccasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you'll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.Emma and I started rehearsing（排练） almost every single day after school. We brainstormed， exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意：1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was completely knocked out by the news.

Born in 1947, the eighth daughter of a poor family in a village of mountainous Guizhou, Tao did not go to school and did not learn to read or write. She spent her childhood hungry, and survived the Great Chinese Famine(饥荒) by eating plant roots, according to a biography on Weibo. When her husband died, she moved to the city of Guiyang and started selling noodles with a sauce that she made herself. She eventually opened the charmingly named Economical Restaurant in the 1990s. When a new highway brought truck drivers to Guiyang, she gave them free jars of the sauce and they spread the word. In 1996, she set a factory up in a house in Guiyang, and a year later Lao Gan Ma Special Flavour Foodstuffs Company was born. Miranda Brown, professor of Chinese studies at the University of Michigan,who is writing a book on the history of Chinese food,says that in China,Lao Gan Ma's popularity is mainly because her products are naturally Chinese consumers tend to want foods that perfectly mix regional flavors and use ingredients grown from the soil of those regions. And today Lao Gan Ma is also increasingly popular overseas, especially in the US. According to its website,the company produces 1.3 million bottles daily,Helping the historically poor Guizhou achieve 10.5% growth——the second fastest of every Chinese province that year,and ahead of the national rate of 6.7%.

So NASA came up with an experiment called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test, or DART. Engineers built a box-shaped spacecraft that was about the size of a small car and weighed 570 kilograms and equipped it with a special camera and computers that would allow it to find and follow the asteroid they had chosen for the experiment. Asteroids are rocky objects that move around the Sun. The smallest are the size of a large stone while some are up to l，000 kilometers in diameter（直径）．The asteroid that was the target for this test is called Dimombos, about 160 meters in diameter, or the size of a football stadium． It orbits （环绕）another larger asteroid，called Didymos. They are more than 7 million kilometers away from Earth and go around the Sun together, once every two years. The DART spacecraft was sent up in November 2021 and then orbited the Sun for 10 months following the path of Didymos and Dimorphos. Most of that time, Dimorphos was hidden by the sunlight reflecting off of the larger asteroid. On September 26, 2022, the spacecraft's camera noticed Dimorphos for the first time and its navigation（导航）system began to guide it through space towards its target. About an hour later, it crashed into Dimorphos at more than 22, 500 kilometers per hour. Scientists studied the data and images of the asteroids for the next two weeks and found that the orbit of Dimorphos has shortened from 11 hours and 55 minutes to 11 hours and 23 minutes: a 32-minute change.While this may seem like a very small change, it shows that-- if a dangerous asteroid was heading toward us-- it would be possible to knock it off its course, keeping Earth safe. The chances of Earth actually being hit by an asteroid large enough to cause damage are very small. 28.What is the purpose of the DART? A. To test whether scientists' idea is true or not. B. To know the weight of the asteroids going around the Sun. C. To learn about the number of asteroids getting close to Earth. D. To understand how asteroids move through space. 29. What can we learn about the target for the DART? A. It is as large as a stadium. B. It is 1, 000 kilometers wide. C. It is a box-shaped asteroid. D. It is an asteroid called Didymos. 30. What did the DART spacecraft do first ante being sent up? A. It hid the reflected sunlight. B. It followed the path of the target asteroid. C. It landed safely on the target asteroid. D. It flew through space to the target asteroid. 31.What does the author think of the result of the DART? A. Doubtful. B. Unsatisfying. C. Unexpected. D.Useful. 【答案】AABD 【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文。科学们家通过DART实验证明，他们能用一个速度非常快的物体撞击一颗小行星，把小行星推离它原来的轨道。这样，地球被一颗大到足以造成破坏的小行星撞击的可能性非常小了。 28.【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中Scientists believed that if they could hit an asteroid（小行星）with an object travelling very fast，they could push the asteroid off the path it was on.So NASA came up with an experiment called the Double Asteroid Redirection Test，or DART.（科学家们相信，如果他们能用一个速度非常快的物体撞击一颗小行星，他们就可以把小行星推离它原来的轨道。因此，美国宇航局提出了一项名为'双小行星重定向测试'（DART）的实验）可知，DART实验的目的是检验科学家们的想法是否可行。故选A项。           29.【答案】A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中The asteroid that was the target for this test is called Dimorphos，about 160 meters in diameter，or the size of a football stadium.（这次测试的目标小行星被称为Dimorphos，直径约160米，或足球场大小）可知，这次测试的目标小行星和足球场一样大。故选A项。           30.【答案】B 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中The asteroid that was the target for this test is called Dimorphos，about 160 meters in diameter，or the size of a football stadium.It orbits （环绕） another larger asteroid，called Didymos.（这次测试的目标小行星被称为Dimorphos，直径约160米，或足球场大小。它环绕着另外一颗大一点的叫作Didymos的小行星。）以及第四段中The DART spacecraft was sent up in November 2021 and then orbited the Sun for 10 months，following the path of Didymos and Dimorphos.（DART宇宙飞船于2021年11月发射升空，然后沿着Didymos和Dimorphos的路径绕太阳运行了10个月）可知，在发射以后，DART宇宙飞船首先是沿着目标小行星的路径飞行。故选B项。           31.【答案】D 【解析】观点态度题。根据文章最后一段Scientists studied the data and images of the asteroids for the next two weeks and found that the orbit of Dimorphos has shortened from 11 hours and 55 minutes to 11 hours and 23 minutes：a 32-minute change.While this may seem like a very small change，it shows that—if a dangerous asteroid was heading toward us—it would be possible to knock it off its course，keeping Earth safe.The chances of Earth actually being hit by an asteroid large enough to cause damage are very small.（科学家们在接下来的两周里研究了小行星的数据和图像，发现Dimorphos的轨道已经从11小时55分钟缩短到11小时23分钟：变化了32分钟。虽然这看起来是一个非常小的变化，但它表明，如果一颗危险的小行星正朝我们靠近，它就有可能偏离轨道，从而确保地球的安全。地球被一颗大到足以造成破坏的小行星撞击的可能性非常小）可推论出，作者认为DART实验结果是很有用的。A项Doubtful质疑的；B项Unsatisfying不满意的；C项Unexpected未预料到的；D项Useful有用的。故选D项。           D “A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place. It's just that we can't bear the sounds." Scientists Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment, proving that plants make noise in certain stress f situations. Plants produce a high frequency clicking sound, and when short of water, or damaged,the clicks become more regular. They also made different sounds, depending on whether they were thirsty or injured."Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound," said Professor Lilach Hadany, who led the research study. Focusing particularly on tomatoes, wheat and corn, the plants were placed in a soundproof room and recorded by microphones. Some plants were starved of water, others cut, and a control group was left undamaged. The researchers used an algorithm(算法) to separate the noises, successfully telling the difference between sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut. The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds, but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants. On average, the human ear can hear sounds up to around 20kHz, while the sounds produced by plants are the 40-80kHz region, far beyond our hearing. “The sounds made by plants can’t be heard by humans but can probably be heard by various animals, such as bats, mice and insects,”Hadany tells us. Though this has yet to be proven, it’s possible that these creatures use this information to choose which plants to eat. A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago, also proved that plants reacted to sound waves, with some plants greatly increasing their yield. While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds, there’s no evidence today that they can actually hear them. 32.What can we know from the six·year experiment? A. Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency. B. Plants produce irregular sound in certain stressful situations. C. Plants make sounds with a much lower frequency when stressed. D. Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation. 33. What is the algorithm used for in the research? A. To record the sounds. B. To control the sounds. C. To produced the sounds D. To identify the sounds. 34. What has been proven by scientists according to the passage? A. Plants can hear each other's cry for help. B. Animals can hear the sounds made by plants. C. Plants can make sounds and respond to sound waves. D. Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make. 35. Which of the following is the best title of the text? A. Sounds That We Can't Hear B. Beautiful Songs from Plants C. Plats React to Different Types of Stress D. Plants Talk, Especially When Stressed 【答案】BDCD 【主旨大意】 这篇短文主要讲述了科学家在六年的实验中证明了植物在特定的压力情况下会发出声音。植物在缺水或受损时会产生高频的点击声，并且这些点击声会变得更加规律。研究人员使用算法成功区分了干燥和受损时植物发出的不同声音。虽然人类听不到植物发出的声音，但可能被蝙蝠、老鼠和昆虫等动物听到。此外，还提到了之前的研究表明植物对声音波动有反应，并且有证据显示植物可以对声音做出反应，但目前还没有证据表明它们真的能够听到声音。 32.【答案】B 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第一段"A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place.It's just that we can't hear the sounds." Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment，proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.（"一片美丽的花田可能是一个相当嘈杂的地方。只是我们听不到声音。"特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。）以及第二段Plants produce a high frequency （频率） clicking sound，and when short of water，or damaged，the clicks become far more regular.They also made different sounds，depending on whether they were thirsty or injured. "Each plant and each type of stress is related to a specific sound，" said Professor Lilach Hadany，who led the research study.（植物会发出高频率的咔哒声，当缺水或受损时，咔哒声会变得更有规律。它们也会发出不同的声音，这取决于它们是口渴还是受伤。"每种植物和每种类型的压力都与一种特定的声音有关，"领导这项研究的利拉克•哈达尼教授说。）可知，这项为期六年的实验表明植物在有压力的情况下会发出有规律的声音。A．Plants of different types make the sound of the same frequency.不同种类的植物发出相同频率的声音；B．Plants produce more regular sound in certain stressful situations.植物在某些有压力的情况下会发出更有规律的声音；C．Plants make sounds with a much lower frequency when stressed.植物在受到压力时发出的声音频率要低得多；D．Plants make the sound of the same frequency whatever the situation.植物无论在什么情况下都会发出相同频率的声音。故选B。           33.【答案】D 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第三段The researchers used an algorithm （算法） to separate the noises，successfully telling the difference between the sounds depending on whether they were dry or cut.The algorithm did this in a greenhouse setting which included far more surrounding sounds，but it was still able to recognize the particular cries for help of the plants.（研究人员使用了一种算法来分离噪音，成功地根据它们缺水还是受到切割来区分声音。该算法在温室环境中进行了这项工作，温室环境中有更多的周围声音，但它仍然能够识别出植物的特殊呼救声。）可知，该算法用来分离噪音，辨别声音。故选D。           34.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段A study led by Reda Hassanien of China Agricultural University in Beijing years ago，also proved that plants reacted to sound waves，with some plants greatly increasing their yield.While evidence shows that plants can react to sounds，there's no evidence today that they can actually hear them.（几年前，中国农业大学的Reda Hassanien领导的一项研究也证明了植物对声波的反应，一些植物的产量大大提高。虽然有证据表明植物可以对声音做出反应，但现在还没有证据表明它们真的能听到声音。）可知，植物可以发出声音并对声波做出反应。A．Plants can hear each other's cry for help.；B．Animals can hear the sounds made by plants.；C．Plants can make sounds and respond to sound waves.；D．Animals decide what to eat based on the sounds plants make.。故选C。           35.【答案】D 【解析】标题归纳题。根据文章第一段"A beautiful field of flowers can be a rather noisy place.It's just that we can't hear the sounds." Scientists at Tel Aviv University have conducted a six-year experiment，proving that plants make noise in certain stressful situations.（"一片美丽的花田可能是一个相当嘈杂的地方。只是我们听不到声音。"特拉维夫大学的科学家们进行了一项为期六年的实验，证明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。）以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明植物在某些紧张的情况下会发出声音。所以"Plants Talk，Especially When Stressed（植物会说话，尤其是在有压力的时候）"作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。                             第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项、选项中有两项为多余选项。 I vividly remember the first time a teacher told me how to learn. Not what to learn. One Friday afternoon our history teacher showed us a way to learn lists of key words and ideas-- using ages and stories. In just a few minutes he proved how easy it was to take charge of the memory process. 36 What a pity I didn't meet him until I was 15! Even more depressing is that many students are never shown how to learn. 37 So, in case you weren't one of the lucky ones, here are some important things to learn about how learning really works.___38__ It's no good just being there for a lesson. You have to be involved, use learning skills, and know which ones work best for you. Start with these tips and tricks every mouth!Don't chook your memory too soon. There's not much point in testing yourself straightway.__39__ Instead, wait until it's a bit more challenging to remember what you've watched, read or been told. Recapping（概括）it then will leave a much stronger trace in your brain.Learners don’t need to be loners. Did you get many chances to learn collaboratively（合作地)? If not, what a shame! It plays a big part in remembering well. 40 Above all, don't be held back by any memory myths you picked up at school. Take steps like these to start remembering more, and be a "class act" in all your learning from here!Reading Isn't great for memoryLearn in company when you can.Learning isn’t an event: it’s a process.That's just shot term memory, and it quickly fades.We hoped to know how to do it in a fun, fast and effective way.In fact, they often end up with some very unhelpful ideas about memory.He sparked an interest in the art and science of learning that still inspires me today. 【答案】GFCDB 【主旨大意】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些关于学习怎么才能真正起作用的重要事情。36.【答案】G 【解析】根据上文“I vividly remember the first time a teacher told me how to learn. Not what to learn. One Friday afternoon our history teacher showed us a way to learn lists of key words and ideas-using images and stories. In just a few minutes he proved how easy it was to take charge of the memory process. (我清楚地记得老师第一次告诉我如何学习的情景。不是学什么。一个星期五的下午，我们的历史老师给我们展示了一种学习关键词和概念的方法——用图片和故事。在短短几分钟内，他证明了控制记忆过程是多么容易。)”可知，老师教授的如何学习的方法，使作者体会到了控制记忆过程是多么容易，G项“He sparked an interest in the art and science of learning that still inspires me today. (他激发了我对学习艺术和科学的兴趣，这种兴趣至今仍激励着我。)”，G项顺接上文，he指代上文的老师，因为老师的方法，作者能更好地记忆知识，从而激发了学习兴趣，上下文衔接连贯，故选G项。 37.【答案】F 【解析】根据上文“What a pity I didn’t meet him until I was 15! Even more depressing is that many students are never shown how to learn. (真可惜我15岁才认识他！更令人沮丧的是，许多学生从未被教导如何学习。)”可知，作者到15岁才认识这个老师，懂得如何学习，而现在有很多学生从未有人教他们如何学习；F项“In fact they often end up with some very unhelpful ideas about memory. (事实上，他们通常会对记忆产生一些非常无益的想法。)”，F项中的They指代上文的那些从未有人教如何学习的学生们，F项顺接上文，故选F项。 38.【答案】C 【解析】根据上文“So, in case you weren’t one of the lucky ones, here are some important things to know about how learning really works. (所以，如果你不是一个幸运的人，这里有一些关于学习如何真正运作的重要事情要知道。)”可知，第三段开始，要介绍一些关于学习怎么才能真正起作用的重要事情；下文“It’s no good just being there for a lesson. You have to be involved, use learning skills, and know which ones work best for you. Start with these tips and tricks every month! (只是在那上一节课是没有用的。你必须参与其中，使用学习技巧，并知道哪些最适合你。每个月，以这些提示和技巧开始！)”可知，学习不是只上一节课就结束了，学习是一个参与的过程，使用学习技巧。选择学习技巧的过程，C项“Learning isn’t an event: it’s a process. (学习不是一个事件，而是一个过程)”，C项为本段中心句，下文诠释了C项的意思，上下文衔接连贯，故选C项。 39.【答案】D 【解析】根据上文“Don’t check your memory too soon. There’s not much point in testing yourself straightaway.   (不要太快检查你的记忆。直接测试自己没有多大意义。)”可知，第一句为本段中心句，对于刚学过的知识，不要马上测试检验，D项“That’s just short-term memory, and it quickly fades. (这只是短期记忆，很快就会消失。)”，D项与上一句为解释关系，短时记忆很快消失，所以检测没有意义。故选D项。 40.【答案】B 【解析】根据上文“Learners don’t need to be loners. Did you get many chances to learn collaboratively (合作地)? If not, what a shame! It plays a big part in remembering well. (学习者不需要成为孤独者。你有很多合作学习的机会吗？如果不是，那就太遗憾了！它在记忆中起着重要作用。)”，第一句为中心句，阐述学习可以采取合作学习的方式，因为合作学习有助于记忆，B项“Learn in company when you can. (尽可能一起学习。)”，为本段的总结句，上下文语意一致，故选B项。 第3部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题; 每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。When Freddie arrived to perform in the hospital room, Pam worried it was already too late.

As a girl of shy and reserved nature, had to take a fresh start to fit into the city life.One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “ I don't have any special skills to share.”Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn't shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “ How about singing together in the talent show? ” She grinned, “ I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home.I can't help following you here.” Gosh, I couldn't believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world's prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.“ You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “ A bigoccasion.” Then a light bulb seemed to go in her head. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you'll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.Emma and I started rehearsing（排练） almost every single day after school. We brainstormed， exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform. 注意：1．续写词数应为150词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was completely knocked out by the news. Finally came the big moment. 【参考范文】 I was completely knocked out by the news. Without Emma's voice to guide me, I would definitely mess up and this was not how everything was supposed to go! As I stood there,feeling at a loss, a gentle touch on my shoulder brought me back to reality.It was my mom, wearing a comforting smile. After having a brief idea of my story, she said in a firm tone,"You've worked so hard. You can make it on your own." Memories of countless rehearsal came flooding back,drowning my fears and losses. Swinging into action, I adjusted my performance to a solo, practicing in no time. Finally came the big moment. Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the stage, enveloped in the glow of the lights. At first, my voice trembled with nervousness, but as the song progressed,my confidence soared.I poured my emotions into the performance, letting my voice carry my feelings into the air. The crowd watched in awe, their applause and cheers echoing in the hall. Facing the overwhelming response, I knew that I had conquered my fears. Yes, the unexpected discouragement can be a blessing in disguise if we have a belief in ourselves and never give up our dreams. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
