Recently, I found four useful apps and have decided to recommend them. Even if you don’t think some of them apply to you, you still feel free to check them out.
Remente
Remente hopes to help you maintain focus, improve well-being, reduce stress, and get the most out of life. You begin using Remente by creating an overview of your life through evaluating your satisfaction in areas like health and fitness, personal development, and education. After Remente personalizes the app to your needs, it will work as your personal coach to give you guidance.
StressScan
StressScan uses your smartphone camera to assign you an objective Stress Index (指数) measurement that can help you track your stress levels over time. The app detects the changes in colors from a picture of your fingertip taken with the camera. Then, using heart rate variability analysis technology, it will analyze the results and assign a Stress Index value from 1 (most relaxed) to 100 (most stressed).
7 Cups
7 Cups provides online treatment and free support to people having emotional problems by connecting them with trained listeners. The listener interacts with the person seeking help via a secret conversation.
Sanvello
Sanvello is based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide effective relief for mental health concerns including anxiety and depression. Its features — videos, audio (音频的) exercises, and activities — are designed to work together to help you learn how to feel happier. The app’s mood tracking, daily reminders, and health tracking tools allow you to monitor your emotions, see positive and negative influences, and create changes.
1. What will the second app show by analyzing users’ heart rate?
A. Their focus index. B. Their behavior.
C. Their personality. D. Their stress level range.
2. Which of the following allows users to chat with listeners online?

Li Ziqi is back! After more than three years’ break, one of China’s most beloved influencers celebrated worldwide for her portrayals (描绘) of rural Chinese life through videos, returned on Nov. 12.
Li marked her comeback with two new videos. One details how she transformed a shed (棚) into a woodland cloakroom while the other demonstrates the process of making wardrobe doors using the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lacquerware (漆器) techniques. These videos quickly went viral on social media. By Nov. 22, her lacquerware video had 140 million views on Sina Weibo.
Fans from around the globe expressed their excitement. “Three years! It’s been three years since you last updated! Do you know how I’ve survived these three years? You’re finally back! I am so excited” commented one Weibo user.
For Li, the past three years were an opportunity to explore deeper into Chinese traditional arts. “I traveled to more than 20 provinces, visiting over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors,” Li told Xinhua. She spoke with artisans, studied their skills and explored folk culture, learning about the stories, historical context and materials behind these crafts — all to share them with the world through her videos.
Although many vloggers have attempted to copy Li’s style during her absence, none have reached her level of popularity. One key reason is the high quality of her videos. “Her videos show not only the production process of traditional Chinese cuisines and handicrafts, but also the wisdom from nature and history,” praised Rednet. “She would spend several months making a single video. Her pursuit of perfection is difficult for many vloggers to copy.”
Moreover, fans admire the slow-paced rhythm of her content. “People’s love for Li’s videos reflects modern individuals’ beautiful imagination of rural life and their eagerness for simplicity,” commented Southern Weekly.
4. What are Li Ziqi’s videos mainly about?
A. Rural Chinese life. B. Chinese handicrafts.
C. Chinese cuisines. D. Chinese lacquerware techniques.
5. What does the underlined phrase “went viral” in the passage probably mean?
A. Finish quickly. B. Spread rapidly. C. Understand easily. D. Speak clearly.
6. According to Paragraph 4, which word can best describe Li Ziqi?
A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Dedicated. D. Outgoing.
7. Why do people love Li Ziqi’s videos according to Southern Weekly?
A. Because they love handicrafts. B. Because they can escape from the city.
C. Because they long for a simpler life. D. Because they are fond of Chinese history.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了李子柒停更三年后回归,发布新视频迅速走红,还介绍了她三年间的探索,以及粉丝喜爱其视频的原因。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Li Ziqi is back! After more than three years’ break, one of China’s most beloved influencers celebrated worldwide for her portrayals (描绘) of rural Chinese life through videos, returned on Nov. 12.(李子柒回来了!在阔别三年之后,这位因通过视频生动描绘中国乡村生活而广受全球喜爱的中国网红于11月12日回归了)”可知,李子柒的视频主要是关于中国乡村生活的。故选A项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词下文“By Nov. 22, her lacquerware video had 140 million views on Sina Weibo.(到11月22日,她的漆器视频在新浪微博上的浏览量达到了1.4亿次)”可知,她的视频在社交媒体上获得了极高的关注度,说明传播得很快。所以划线部分“went viral”的意思是“迅速传播”,与意思“Spread rapidly”一致。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“For Li, the past three years were an opportunity to explore deeper into Chinese traditional arts. “I traveled to more than 20 provinces, visiting over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors,” Li told Xinhua. She spoke with artisans, studied their skills and explored folk culture, learning about the stories, historical context and materials behind these crafts — all to share them with the world through her videos.(对于李来说,过去的三年是一个深入探索中国传统艺术的机会。“我走访了超过20个省份,拜访了100多位非物质文化遗产传承人。”李向新华社介绍道。她与工匠们交流,学习他们的技艺,探索民间文化,了解这些手工艺品背后的故事、历史背景和材料——所有这些都为了通过她的视频向世界分享这些文化)”可知,李子柒在停更的三年里专注于深入探索中国传统艺术,为了制作视频付出了很多努力,这体现了她的专注和投入。所以用“Dedicated(专注的、投入的)”来形容她最合适。故选C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““People’s love for Li’s videos reflects modern individuals’ beautiful imagination of rural life and their eagerness for simplicity,” commented Southern Weekly.(《南方周末》评论道:“人们对李的视频的喜爱,反映了现代人对乡村生活美好的想象以及对简单生活的渴望。”)可知,人们喜欢李子柒的视频是因为他们渴望更简单的生活。故选C项。
C
Many animals have relatively dull coloring, which helps them match their backgrounds and avoid detection by predators (捕食者). There are a few notable exceptions like giant pandas. Scientists have long wondered what function the black-and-white coloring plays.
Recently, researchers analyzed 15 photos of pandas taken in forests in South Central China and used a computer model to analyze the images as they would appear to predatory cats and dogs. They found that the black fur blends into (融合到) shade and dark tree trunks. But it also matches the ground, rocks and leaves. The white fur matches snow, rocks and bright leaves (due to light reflecting from the leaves). The researchers found that cats and dogs would both struggle to spot a panda in a forest — particularly if the panda was some distance away. The photos were taken from between 5 and 150 meters from the pandas, and included both snowy and sunny environments.
It might seem a bit confusing because pandas are very easy to spot at a zoo, for instance. But the environment and the viewer make a difference. “We modeled their coloring through predators’ eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results,” study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol says. They used cats, dogs and human vision models to view each image. Despite the fact that humans see things differently from panda predators, there are also the situations where people usually see the black-and-white animals.
“It seems that pandas appear striking to us because of short viewing distances and odd backgrounds: when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo, it is almost always from close up, and often against a backdrop that doesn’t reflect their natural habitats,” says author Nick Scott-Samuel of the University of Bristol.
“I’m shocked by how well pandas turn out to match the colors of their background,” says Jenny Read at Newcastle University, UK.
8. Why is Caro certain of the results?
A. His team used advanced video cameras.
B. His team employed different vision models.
C. His team took photos of pandas very closely.
D. His team compared different varieties of pandas.
9. What does Scott-Samuel intend to tell us in paragraph 4?
A. The attraction of zoos for pandas. B. How pandas look striking in the photos.
C. The ideal distance for observing pandas. D. Why pandas are usually noticeable to people.
10. How does Read feel about the findings?
A. Disappointed. B. Proud. C. Astonished. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Pandas’ habitat is threatened.
B. Pandas’ colors help them hide in forests.
C. Pandas prefer to live in sunny environments.
D. Pandas can be spotted by cats easily even in the distance.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了颜色相对暗淡的动物们有自己的保护色,有几个明显的例外,比如大熊猫,研究人员发现,熊猫的黑白色也能很好地与其生活环境相匹配,躲避捕食者。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““We modeled their coloring through predators’ eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results,” study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol says. (布里斯托大学的研究作者Tim Caro表示:“我们通过捕食者和人类的双重视觉角度来模拟它们的体色,因此我们对研究结果充满信心。”)”可知,Caro研究团队通过捕食者的眼睛和人类的视角来模拟熊猫的自然颜色,所以他们对结果很有信心。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“It seems that pandas appear striking to us because of short viewing distances and odd backgrounds: when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo, it is almost always from close up, and often against a backdrop that doesn’t reflect their natural habitats,” says author Nick Scott-Samuel of the University of Bristol.(布里斯托尔大学的作者尼克·斯科特-塞缪尔说:“熊猫之所以引人注目,似乎是因为它们的观察距离很短,背景也很奇怪:当我们在照片或动物园里看到它们时,几乎总是近距离观察,而且背景往往与它们的自然栖息地不符。”)”可知,第四段强调了为什么熊猫通常对人们来说是显而易见的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“I’m shocked by how well pandas turn out to match the colors of their background,” says Jenny Read at Newcastle University, UK.(英国纽卡斯尔大学的珍妮·里德说:“我很震惊,大熊猫竟然能很好地适应它们背景的颜色。)”可知,Read对这些发现感到震惊。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have long wondered what function the black-and-white coloring plays.(长期以来,科学家们一直想知道黑白颜色的作用)”以及第二段“They found that the black fur blends into (融合到) shade and dark tree trunks. (他们发现黑色的皮毛与树荫和深色的树干混在一起。)”并结合全文的内容可知,文章主要介绍了研究人员发现,熊猫的黑白色也能很好地与其生活环境相匹配,躲避捕食者,由此可知,这篇文章主要讲的是熊猫的颜色帮助它们在森林里躲藏。故选B项。
D
Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time eyeballing (盯住) screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading, developed by Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of written content.
The reading system improve the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. To make it short: some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by essentially reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
Cassult discovered the system by accident. He was working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it if he sectioned it off. He worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to adjust it.
A preliminary (初步的) study was conducted by the Swiss Institute InnoSuisee, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (多动症) prove that Bionic Reading helped them focus and comprehend what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than regular text. The best way to know if the Bionic Reader helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
12. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading?
A. To point out people’s reading problems.
B. To teach people necessary reading skills.
C. To reduce readers’ screen time and eye stress.
D. To improve people’s reading speed and comprehension.
13. What does the underlined phrase “artificial fixation points” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Words displayed in capital letters. B. Useful expressions.
C. Difficult sentences in the text. D. Bold letters.
14. What do some people with ADHD think of the system according to the text?
A. It is complex. B. It can be beneficial.
C. It needs to be improved. D. It has little effect on them.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A reading project for ADHD. B. A research on language learning.
C. A system to help with online reading. D. A tool for treating reading disability
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了瑞士开发人员Renato Casuut开发了一个“仿生阅读”系统,它可以通过人工注视点引导眼睛,使在线阅读更容易、速度更快,还有助于帮助人们理解阅读内容。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading, developed by Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of written content.(现在,瑞士排版设计师雷纳托·卡苏特开发的一种新的阅读系统“仿生阅读”可以帮助人们克服这些问题,最重要的是,它旨在帮助人们更快地在线阅读,并对书面内容有更深入的理解。)”可知,由瑞士设计师Renato Casutt开发的新的阅读系统Bionic Reading旨在帮助人们更快地进行在线阅读,并加深对阅读内容的深入理解。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“To make it short: some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest.(简而言之:单词的某些部分以粗体显示。因此,读者只关注突出显示的字母,而让大脑中心完成其余的部分。)”可知,下文是对第一句的解释,下文提到单词的一部分会以粗体形式显示,因此,读者只需要关注醒目的字母,大脑中枢会完成剩下的部分。由此推知,该阅读系统是通过这些粗体显示的内容来引导眼睛阅读,从而使阅读更容易。由此可知,画线词“artificial fixation points”指代的是“加粗的字母”。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Some people with ADHD prove that Bionic Reading helped them focus and comprehend what they are reading.( 一些患有多动症的人证明,仿生阅读帮助他们集中注意力,理解他们正在阅读的内容。)”可知,一些多动症患者认为该系统是有益的。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading, developed by Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of written content.(现在,瑞士排版设计师雷纳托·卡苏特开发的一种新的阅读系统“仿生阅读”可以帮助人们克服这些问题,最重要的是,它旨在帮助人们更快地在线阅读,并对书面内容有更深入的理解。)”可知,文章主要介绍了一个帮助在线阅读的系统。故选C。

Hugging for health and happiness
When you’re feeling down, there’s nothing like a nice big hug from a loved one to cheer you up. But the positive effects of hugging go beyond a simple shot in the arm. Scientists have discovered that the act of hugging has more benefits than you expect. ____16____.
Hugging causes your body to release a number of chemicals that improve your mood. These chemicals cause your stress levels to fall and reduce feelings of worry and loneliness. ____17____. This means that hugs are great for deepening relationships and reducing conflict.

Indeed, a study of 400 adults showed that those who hugged more often were less likely to get sick than those who didn’t. And frequent huggers who were sick also had less serious symptoms (症状).
Hugging might also slow the effects of aging in some people. Old mice that were given happiness hormones (激素) actually began to regenerate their muscles at the same rate as younger mice. So giving your grandpa and grandma lots of hugs could help them stay fitter for longer. ____19____. Babies who were given just 20 minutes of extra hugs and loving touches per day were shown to have received positive effects on their brain development.
Therefore, if you’re one of those people who don’t regard themselves as a hugger, you may want to change your ways. ____20____. You’ll be doing them and yourself a world of good.
A. Indeed, hugging can benefit your heart.
B. However, hugging doesn’t only benefit old bodies.

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:尽管这棵大树已经年迈,但其高度达20米,依然枝繁叶茂、郁郁葱葱。此处表示让步,且空后为名词短语,应用介词despite“尽管”,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Despite。

第二节读后续写(满分25分)
47. 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。
It was in the year 2016 that I made friends with Bindu who would give direction to my life.
To prepare for Diwali, one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in my home country, I was busy enjoying the task of cleaning along with my younger sister in the shop of my family. Suddenly, the door bell rang. I opened the door only to find myself attracted by the beauty of a lady in a red cotton dress with a black border. She had extremely good features. Without a second thought I complimented her by saying, “You are a very beautiful lady.” I welcomed her and asked what her name was. She replied, “I am Bindu.” After a happy conversation between two girls, Bindu shared her contact details and address and left.
The Diwali day had finally arrived. I told my mom that I was going to meet Bindu at her place that afternoon. My mother agreed but told me to go home early.
I was given a warm welcome at Bindu’s place. The welcome smile especially made me feel at home. Bindu said it was for the first time that “normal people” other than government community people (they helped the poor) came to their society to visit a friend.
Our endless talk continued. I noticed, throughout our conversation, Bindu hadn’t said a single negative word. She didn’t discuss her sorrow, struggle and problems. Through the visit, I felt a positive atmosphere. Then I realized words could make a powerful impact on a person’s life. After that moment I would avoid negative words while interacting with people. Days passed by and our companionship grew stronger. Whenever I felt stressed at work, I called Bindu. Her powerful words motivated me.
Those days I was staying in Udaipur, searching for a new room. Finally, I selected two rooms, but because of my divorce (离婚) (In my home country, women, especially divorced women, are always looked down upon), landowners refused to provide the room. I was totally frustrated.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to call my friend Bindu and share my experience with her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holding back doubts, I bravely continued my search.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I decided to call my friend Bindu and share my experience with her. My voice cracked as I poured out the two rejections — each “no” replaying in my head. She sighed softly, then said firmly: “Frustrated over two? Rejection is now a part of my life. Don’t lose hope. Believe in yourself. Be patient. It will all work out.” Her warm, steady tone wrapped around me like a hug. Like always, her powerful words not only healed my pain, but also kindled the flame of hope in my heart.
Holding back doubts, I bravely continued my search. After months of endless calls and disappointing viewings, I finally found a sunlit room with a small balcony. The landlady, a kind old lady, never cared about my marital status. I grabbed my phone right away to call Bindu with the good news — I had settled down at last. I sank into the chair on the balcony, bathed in the sunshine of relief and joy. Bindu’s words echoed in my ears — softly but steadily: “Believe in yourself. It will all work out.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者在2016年与Bindu结识,从初见被其吸引,到迪瓦利节去她家做客,受其积极影响改变说话方式,二人友谊加深,之后作者在乌代布尔租房,却因离婚遭房东拒绝而倍感沮丧的故事。
【详解】 1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我决定给朋友宾杜打电话,和她说说我的遭遇。”可知,第一段可描写作者向Bindu倾诉租房被拒的委屈,以及她给予的鼓励。
②由第二段首句内容“压下心头的疑虑,我鼓起勇气继续寻找。”可知,第二段可描写作者坚持寻找后成功租到房间,并向Bindu报喜的过程。
2. 续写线索: 租房被拒—— 向Bindu倾诉—— 得到鼓励—— 继续寻找—— 成功租房—— 告知Bindu
3.词汇激活
行为类
① 倾诉:pour out/ open up
② 鼓励:kindle hope/ cheer up
③ 拥抱: hug/ embrace
情绪类
① 沮丧的:frustrated/ disappointed
② 喜悦:joy/ delight
【点睛】【高分句型1】My voice cracked as I poured out the two rejections — each “no” replaying in my head.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句)

Recently, I found four useful apps and have decided to recommend them. Even if you don’t think some of them apply to you, you still feel free to check them out.
Remente
Remente hopes to help you maintain focus, improve well-being, reduce stress, and get the most out of life. You begin using Remente by creating an overview of your life through evaluating your satisfaction in areas like health and fitness, personal development, and education. After Remente personalizes the app to your needs, it will work as your personal coach to give you guidance.
StressScan
StressScan uses your smartphone camera to assign you an objective Stress Index (指数) measurement that can help you track your stress levels over time. The app detects the changes in colors from a picture of your fingertip taken with the camera. Then, using heart rate variability analysis technology, it will analyze the results and assign a Stress Index value from 1 (most relaxed) to 100 (most stressed).
7 Cups
7 Cups provides online treatment and free support to people having emotional problems by connecting them with trained listeners. The listener interacts with the person seeking help via a secret conversation.
Sanvello
Sanvello is based on the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide effective relief for mental health concerns including anxiety and depression. Its features — videos, audio (音频的) exercises, and activities — are designed to work together to help you learn how to feel happier. The app’s mood tracking, daily reminders, and health tracking tools allow you to monitor your emotions, see positive and negative influences, and create changes.

Li Ziqi is back! After more than three years’ break, one of China’s most beloved influencers celebrated worldwide for her portrayals (描绘) of rural Chinese life through videos, returned on Nov. 12.
Li marked her comeback with two new videos. One details how she transformed a shed (棚) into a woodland cloakroom while the other demonstrates the process of making wardrobe doors using the intangible cultural heritage of Chinese lacquerware (漆器) techniques. These videos quickly went viral on social media. By Nov. 22, her lacquerware video had 140 million views on Sina Weibo.
Fans from around the globe expressed their excitement. “Three years! It’s been three years since you last updated! Do you know how I’ve survived these three years? You’re finally back! I am so excited” commented one Weibo user.
For Li, the past three years were an opportunity to explore deeper into Chinese traditional arts. “I traveled to more than 20 provinces, visiting over 100 intangible cultural heritage inheritors,” Li told Xinhua. She spoke with artisans, studied their skills and explored folk culture, learning about the stories, historical context and materials behind these crafts — all to share them with the world through her videos.
Although many vloggers have attempted to copy Li’s style during her absence, none have reached her level of popularity. One key reason is the high quality of her videos. “Her videos show not only the production process of traditional Chinese cuisines and handicrafts, but also the wisdom from nature and history,” praised Rednet. “She would spend several months making a single video. Her pursuit of perfection is difficult for many vloggers to copy.”
Moreover, fans admire the slow-paced rhythm of her content. “People’s love for Li’s videos reflects modern individuals’ beautiful imagination of rural life and their eagerness for simplicity,” commented Southern Weekly.
4. What are Li Ziqi’s videos mainly about?
A. Rural Chinese life. B. Chinese handicrafts.
C. Chinese cuisines. D. Chinese lacquerware techniques.
5. What does the underlined phrase “went viral” in the passage probably mean?
A. Finish quickly. B. Spread rapidly. C. Understand easily. D. Speak clearly.
6. According to Paragraph 4, which word can best describe Li Ziqi?
A. Modest. B. Generous. C. Dedicated. D. Outgoing.
7. Why do people love Li Ziqi’s videos according to Southern Weekly?
A. Because they love handicrafts. B. Because they can escape from the city.
C. Because they long for a simpler life. D. Because they are fond of Chinese history.
C
Many animals have relatively dull coloring, which helps them match their backgrounds and avoid detection by predators (捕食者). There are a few notable exceptions like giant pandas. Scientists have long wondered what function the black-and-white coloring plays.
Recently, researchers analyzed 15 photos of pandas taken in forests in South Central China and used a computer model to analyze the images as they would appear to predatory cats and dogs. They found that the black fur blends into (融合到) shade and dark tree trunks. But it also matches the ground, rocks and leaves. The white fur matches snow, rocks and bright leaves (due to light reflecting from the leaves). The researchers found that cats and dogs would both struggle to spot a panda in a forest — particularly if the panda was some distance away. The photos were taken from between 5 and 150 meters from the pandas, and included both snowy and sunny environments.
It might seem a bit confusing because pandas are very easy to spot at a zoo, for instance. But the environment and the viewer make a difference. “We modeled their coloring through predators’ eyes as well as how humans see them so we are sure of the results,” study author Tim Caro of the University of Bristol says. They used cats, dogs and human vision models to view each image. Despite the fact that humans see things differently from panda predators, there are also the situations where people usually see the black-and-white animals.
“It seems that pandas appear striking to us because of short viewing distances and odd backgrounds: when we see them, either in photographs or at the zoo, it is almost always from close up, and often against a backdrop that doesn’t reflect their natural habitats,” says author Nick Scott-Samuel of the University of Bristol.
“I’m shocked by how well pandas turn out to match the colors of their background,” says Jenny Read at Newcastle University, UK.
8. Why is Caro certain of the results?
A. His team used advanced video cameras.
B. His team employed different vision models.
C. His team took photos of pandas very closely.
D. His team compared different varieties of pandas.
9. What does Scott-Samuel intend to tell us in paragraph 4?
A. The attraction of zoos for pandas. B. How pandas look striking in the photos.
C. The ideal distance for observing pandas. D. Why pandas are usually noticeable to people.
10. How does Read feel about the findings?
A. Disappointed. B. Proud. C. Astonished. D. Doubtful.
11. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Pandas’ habitat is threatened.
B. Pandas’ colors help them hide in forests.
C. Pandas prefer to live in sunny environments.
D. Pandas can be spotted by cats easily even in the distance.
D
Today, many people spend a lot of time reading online. Whether reading news or e-books, people are spending more time eyeballing (盯住) screens. While online reading opens up a great deal of knowledge to people, there are some disadvantages too, such as eyestrain, headaches, as well as difficulty in focusing on the text. Now a new reading system, Bionic Reading, developed by Swiss typographic designer Renato Casutt, can help people overcome these issues, and most importantly, it aims to help people read faster online and develop a more in-depth understanding of written content.
The reading system improve the reading process by guiding the eyes through text with artificial fixation points. To make it short: some parts of the words are displayed in bold (粗体). As a result, the reader only focuses on the highlighted letters and lets the brain center complete the rest. Your brain can “read” faster than your eyes, so by essentially reducing the number of letters your eye needs to look at, you can read faster while still preserving the full context.
Cassult discovered the system by accident. He was working on designing a book in a foreign language and realized he could read it if he sectioned it off. He worked for six years to develop Bionic Reading and is still working to adjust it.
A preliminary (初步的) study was conducted by the Swiss Institute InnoSuisee, but more research is needed before it can be definitively shown that the system improves reading. Some people with ADHD (多动症) prove that Bionic Reading helped them focus and comprehend what they are reading. Other people don’t seem to notice a big difference compared to regular text. There’s also no evidence to suggest Bionic Reading is any better than regular text. The best way to know if the Bionic Reader helps you read better online is to try it yourself.
12. What is the main purpose of Bionic Reading?
A. To point out people’s reading problems.
B. To teach people necessary reading skills.
C. To reduce readers’ screen time and eye stress.
D. To improve people’s reading speed and comprehension.
13. What does the underlined phrase “artificial fixation points” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Words displayed in capital letters. B. Useful expressions.
C. Difficult sentences in the text. D. Bold letters.
14. What do some people with ADHD think of the system according to the text?
A. It is complex. B. It can be beneficial.
C. It needs to be improved. D. It has little effect on them.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. A reading project for ADHD. B. A research on language learning.
C. A system to help with online reading. D. A tool for treating reading disability

It was in the year 2016 that I made friends with Bindu who would give direction to my life.
To prepare for Diwali, one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in my home country, I was busy enjoying the task of cleaning along with my younger sister in the shop of my family. Suddenly, the door bell rang. I opened the door only to find myself attracted by the beauty of a lady in a red cotton dress with a black border. She had extremely good features. Without a second thought I complimented her by saying, “You are a very beautiful lady.” I welcomed her and asked what her name was. She replied, “I am Bindu.” After a happy conversation between two girls, Bindu shared her contact details and address and left.
The Diwali day had finally arrived. I told my mom that I was going to meet Bindu at her place that afternoon. My mother agreed but told me to go home early.
I was given a warm welcome at Bindu’s place. The welcome smile especially made me feel at home. Bindu said it was for the first time that “normal people” other than government community people (they helped the poor) came to their society to visit a friend.
Our endless talk continued. I noticed, throughout our conversation, Bindu hadn’t said a single negative word. She didn’t discuss her sorrow, struggle and problems. Through the visit, I felt a positive atmosphere. Then I realized words could make a powerful impact on a person’s life. After that moment I would avoid negative words while interacting with people. Days passed by and our companionship grew stronger. Whenever I felt stressed at work, I called Bindu. Her powerful words motivated me.
Those days I was staying in Udaipur, searching for a new room. Finally, I selected two rooms, but because of my divorce (离婚) (In my home country, women, especially divorced women, are always looked down upon), landowners refused to provide the room. I was totally frustrated.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I decided to call my friend Bindu and share my experience with her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Holding back doubts, I bravely continued my search.
