Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In a cave. Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone... The days grew longer again. One morning, Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” 47. What can we learn about Amy from her museum? A. She often studied birds with her mother. B. She had rich bird-watching experiences. C. She liked drawing more than other hobbies. D. She wanted to keep her hobbies a secret. 48. How did Amy carry out her plan in the late autumn? A. She marked each baby bird with a silver ring. B. She separated the baby birds from their parents. C. She cared for the birds and watched them grow. D. She used the birds’ language to call them back. 49. What happened to the two baby birds when the second spring came? A. They flew back and looked for their parents. B. They made their own nests under a bridge. C. They flew in and out of the cave to meet Amy. D. They returned and built nests near the cave. Passage C In a recent study of healthy volunteers, National Institutes of Health researchers discovered that our brains may replay memories of learning new skills when we rest. NIH researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new song on the piano, and found that during short rest the volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity seen while they practiced typing a code. The more a volunteer replayed the activity the better they performed during subsequent practice sessions. The study was conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. The team of Dr. Cohen, M.D., senior investigator at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), used a highly sensitive scanning technique to record the brain waves of 33 healthy, right-handed volunteers as they learned to type a five-digit test code with their left hands. The subjects sat in a chair and under the scanner’s long, cone-shaped cap. An experiment began when a subject was shown the code “41234” on a screen and asked to type it out as many times as possible for 10 seconds and then take a 10 second break. Subjects were asked to repeat this cycle of alternating practice and rest sessions a total of 35 times. During the first few trials, the speed at which subjects correctly typed the code improved dramatically and then leveled off around the 11th cycle. In a previous study, Dr. Cohen’s team showed that most of these gains happened during short rests, and not when the subjects were typing. Moreover, the gains were greater than those made after a night’s sleep and were related with a decrease in the size of brain waves, called beta rhythms. In this new report, the researchers searched for something different in the subjects’ brain waves. “We wanted to explore the mechanisms behind memory strengthening seen during wakeful rest. Several forms of memory appear to rely on the replaying of neural activity, so we decided to test this idea out for procedural skill learning,” said Ethan R. Buch, Ph.D., a staff scientist on Dr. Cohen’s team and leader of the study. To do this, Dr. Buch developed a computer program which allowed the team to understand the brain wave activity associated with typing each number in the test code. Interestingly, they found that the more a volunteer replayed, the better their performance was. “We were a bit surprised by these last results. Overall, our results support the idea that the replay activity during waking rest may be a powerful tool that researchers can use to help individuals learn new skills faster and possibly facilitate recovery from stroke.” said Dr. Cohen. 50. What have NIH researchers recently found? A. The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill. B. The value of short practice sessions can’t be overestimated. C. Short rest makes no difference to the neural replay of the activity. D. The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances. 51. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. The process of the research. B. The facilities of the research. C. The application of the research. D. The preparations of the research. 52. What does Dr. Cohen think of the research findings? A. Acceptable. B. Promising. C. Shallow. D. Dismissive. Passage D Ramirez Castañeda, a Colombian biologist, spends her time in the Amazon studying how snakes eat poisonous frogs without getting ill. Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time and it means that some of her findings were never published. “It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.” Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. Researchers looked through more than 400,000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1,234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation, which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species. Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that. Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator—but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castañeda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon. “So we’re losing observations for science, too,” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.” 53. What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known? A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues. C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier. 54. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research? A. Inefficient wildlife conservation. B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world. C. A growing interest in non-English papers. D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators. 55. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs? A. The urgency to protect rare species. B. The need to adopt one global language. C. The challenges in translating scientific texts. D. The biodiversity on the South American continent. 56. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model. C. A popular belief. D. A global trend. Section 5 Writing (20’) Part 1 Read and answer the following questions. (10’) What is peer pressure? People who are the same age as you, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence you to act, or to make you do something, it’s called peer pressure. Everyone has to deal with it, even the older people. The influence of peer pressure Peers can have a good influence on each other when they are encouraged to do something positive or pushed to grow in a beneficial way. You might admire a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like him or her. Maybe you want to make others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it. On the other hand, sometimes peers influence each other in bad ways. Negative peer pressure involves pressure to do something dangerous or damaging to themselves or others. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them when you should study at school or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Why do some kids give in to peer pressure? Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they want to try something new. The idea that “everyone has to do it” may influence some kids to leave their common sense behind. How to walk away from peer pressure Choose your friends wisely. If you choose friends who don’t smoke cigarettes, or lie, then maybe you won’t do these things either. Even if you have peer pressure while you’re alone, there are still things you can do. You can be away from peers who pressure you to do something wrong. You can say “no” to them and walk away. At last, if you go on to have peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you depend on. 57. What does negative peer pressure involve? ___________________________________________ 58. Why do kids have to give in to peer pressure? ___________________________________________ 59. How many ways to stay away from peer pressure are mentioned? ___________________________________________ 60. What do you think of peer pressure? Do you have any other effective ways to deal with it, except the ones mentioned in the passage? Please list at least 2 ways. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Part 2 Writing.

Ffh. Ffh! It was not just the empty nest of a pewee bird as Amy had found the last five days. Amy ran home through the woods. “Mum!” she shouted. “I see birds. Two. In a cave. Beautiful!” Mum smiled. Birds! Always birds! From the moment Amy woke up in the morning to the moment she closed her eyes at night, she thought only of birds. Amy climbed straight to her attic room—her museum, she called it. Every shelf, every spare inch of floor, was covered with nests, bird models and natural science books. The walls were covered with pencil and crayon drawings of many different kinds of birds, all signed “Amy in the woods.” “Are those the same birds who built the nest last year? Will they return to the cave next spring?” Amy always wondered. “I will study my cave birds. I will draw them just as they are.” Amy made up her mind. In a week, the birds were used to her. They were busy building their nest as Amy watched and drew with her pencils. Soon the dried brown nest became a soft green bed. Amy watched as two baby birds came out. She watched as the young birds flew for the first time. She began to feel a part of this small family. When the days grew shorter and the autumn air began to bite, Amy knew the birds would leave soon. But would they come back? She had to know! In bed that night, she formed a plan. The next day, when the mother and father birds were away from the nest, she tied something to one leg of each baby bird. A week later, the birds were gone... The days grew longer again. One morning, Amy heard a bird call, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” She ran to the cave. Watching the way the birds flew in and out of the cave, Amy knew her friends came back. But where were last year’s babies? Did they return too? She began to search the woods near the cave, listening for their call. Inside a little house, she found two birds building a nest. One wore a silver ring around its leg. Up the small river, under a bridge, she found two more nesting birds. And one wore a silver ring around its leg. Amy smiled and called, “Fee-bee! Fee-bee!” 47. What can we learn about Amy from her museum? A. She often studied birds with her mother. B. She had rich bird-watching experiences. C. She liked drawing more than other hobbies. D. She wanted to keep her hobbies a secret. 48. How did Amy carry out her plan in the late autumn? A. She marked each baby bird with a silver ring. B. She separated the baby birds from their parents. C. She cared for the birds and watched them grow. D. She used the birds’ language to call them back. 49. What happened to the two baby birds when the second spring came? A.

NIH researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new song on the piano, and found that during short rest the volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity seen while they practiced typing a code. The more a volunteer replayed the activity the better they performed during subsequent practice sessions. The study was conducted at the NIH Clinical Center. The team of Dr. Cohen, M.D., senior investigator at the NIH’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), used a highly sensitive scanning technique to record the brain waves of 33 healthy, right-handed volunteers as they learned to type a five-digit test code with their left hands. The subjects sat in a chair and under the scanner’s long, cone-shaped cap. An experiment began when a subject was shown the code “41234” on a screen and asked to type it out as many times as possible for 10 seconds and then take a 10 second break. Subjects were asked to repeat this cycle of alternating practice and rest sessions a total of 35 times. During the first few trials, the speed at which subjects correctly typed the code improved dramatically and then leveled off around the 11th cycle. In a previous study, Dr. Cohen’s team showed that most of these gains happened during short rests, and not when the subjects were typing. Moreover, the gains were greater than those made after a night’s sleep and were related with a decrease in the size of brain waves, called beta rhythms. In this new report, the researchers searched for something different in the subjects’ brain waves. “We wanted to explore the mechanisms behind memory strengthening seen during wakeful rest. Several forms of memory appear to rely on the replaying of neural activity, so we decided to test this idea out for procedural skill learning,” said Ethan R. Buch, Ph.D., a staff scientist on Dr. Cohen’s team and leader of the study. To do this, Dr. Buch developed a computer program which allowed the team to understand the brain wave activity associated with typing each number in the test code. Interestingly, they found that the more a volunteer replayed, the better their performance was. “We were a bit surprised by these last results. Overall, our results support the idea that the replay activity during waking rest may be a powerful tool that researchers can use to help individuals learn new skills faster and possibly facilitate recovery from stroke.” said Dr. Cohen. 50. What have NIH researchers recently found? A. The brain activity slowly flows when we learn a new skill. B. The value of short practice sessions can’t be overestimated. C. Short rest makes no difference to the neural replay of the activity. D. The frequency of brain replay contributes to practice performances. 51. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3? A. The process of the research. B. The facilities of the research. C. The application of the research. D. The preparations of the research. 52. What does Dr. Cohen think of the research findings? A. Acceptable. B. Promising. C. Shallow. D. Dismissive. 【答案】50. D 51. A 52. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项研究，美国国立卫生研究院(NIH)的研究人员发现，当人们休息时，大脑可能会重放学习新技能的记忆，且这种重放的频率与后续练习表现有关。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“NIH researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new song on the piano, and found that during short rest the volunteers’ brains rapidly and repeatedly replayed faster versions of the activity seen while they practiced typing a code.

Although her findings come in many shapes and sizes, she and her colleagues have struggled to get their biological discoveries out to the wider scientific community. With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time and it means that some of her findings were never published. “It’s not that I’m a bad scientist,” she says. “It’s just because of the language.” Castañeda is not alone. There is plenty of research in non-English-language papers that gets lost in translation, or is never translated. Researchers looked through more than 400,000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1,234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation, which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked. These included Japanese-language findings on the effectiveness of relocating the endangered Blakiston’s fish owl, the largest owl species. Some experts argue that for the sake of the bigger picture, scientific knowledge should converge (转换) into one common language. Science is very globalised and becoming more so, so the use of a global language is enormous for that. Of course, scientists can work with an English partner, or use a translator—but this ultimately strengthens the cycle of dependency on the global north, leading to inequality in international influence. The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castañeda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon. “So we’re losing observations for science, too,” says Castañeda. “For me, it’s not possible to just have everything translated into English. We need multilingual science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.” 53. What prevented Castañeda’s discoveries from being more widely known? A. Poor management. B. Opposition from her colleagues. C. Her bad reputation. D. The language barrier. 54. What’s the consequence of the dominant focus on English in scientific research? A. Inefficient wildlife conservation. B. A knowledge gap in the scientific world. C. A growing interest in non-English papers. D. Inadequate job opportunities for translators. 55. What does the author want to illustrate by mentioning forest snakes and frogs? A. The urgency to protect rare species. B. The need to adopt one global language. C. The challenges in translating scientific texts. D. The biodiversity on the South American continent. 56. What is presented in the last paragraph of the text? A. A potential solution. B. A theoretical model. C A popular belief. D. A global trend. 【答案】53. D 54. B 55. C 56. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了哥伦比亚生物学家Ramirez Castañeda在研究中因语言问题导致发现难以广泛传播，以及科学界对科学语言使用的讨论。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据“With Spanish as her mother tongue, her research had to be translated into English to be published. That wasn’t always possible because of budget or time and it means that some of her findings were never published.”以及“It’s just because of the language.”可知，是语言障碍阻止了Castañeda的发现被更广泛地知晓。故选D。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Research looked through more than 400,000 peer-reviewed papers in 16 different languages and found 1,234 studies providing evidence on biodiversity conservation, which, because they weren’t in English, may have been overlooked.”可知，在科学研究中主要关注英语导致的后果是科学界的知识差距。故选B。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The specific meanings of words can also pose a problem in translation. For example, it is difficult to find in English one single word to describe forest snakes and frogs in the work Castañeda does with indigenous (土著的) communities in the Amazon.”可知，作者提到森林蛇和青蛙是想说明科学文本翻译中存在的挑战。故选C。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“We need multilingual science, and we need people that feel comfortable doing science in their own languages. It could be possible to switch to a world where, say, Chinese, English and Spanish are the three languages of science, just as English, French and German were the languages of science in the 19th century.”可知，最后一段提出了一个可能的解决方案，即采用多种语言进行科学研究。故选A。 Section 5 Writing (20’) Part 1 Read and answer the following questions. (10’) What is peer pressure? People who are the same age as you, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence you to act, or to make you do something, it’s called peer pressure. Everyone has to deal with it, even the older people. The influence of peer pressure Peers can have a good influence on each other when they are encouraged to do something positive or pushed to grow in a beneficial way. You might admire a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like him or her. Maybe you want to make others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it. On the other hand, sometimes peers influence each other in bad ways. Negative peer pressure involves pressure to do something dangerous or damaging to themselves or others. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them when you should study at school or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him. Why do some kids give in to peer pressure? Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they want to try something new. The idea that “everyone has to do it” may influence some kids to leave their common sense behind. How to walk away from peer pressure Choose your friends wisely. If you choose friends who don’t smoke cigarettes, or lie, then maybe you won’t do these things either. Even if you have peer pressure while you’re alone, there are still things you can do. You can be away from peers who pressure you to do something wrong. You can say “no” to them and walk away. At last, if you go on to have peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you depend on. 57. What does negative peer pressure involve? ___________________________________________ 58. Why do kids have to give in to peer pressure? ___________________________________________ 59. How many ways to stay away from peer pressure are mentioned? ___________________________________________ 60. What do you think of peer pressure? Do you have any other effective ways to deal with it, except the ones mentioned in the passage? Please list at least 2 ways. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】57. Pressure to do something dangerous or damaging to themselves or others. 58. Because they want to be liked, or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. 59. Four. 60. Peer pressure is like a double-edged sword. On one hand, positive peer pressure can drive people to grow, such as inspiring someone to exercise more by admiring a sporty friend or promoting good reading habits among peers. On the other hand, negative peer pressure may lead to harmful behaviors that damage one's well-being, studies or relationships. Other effective ways to deal with it include: Build strong self-esteem and self-awareness. Clarifying your own values and understanding your strengths and bottom lines can help you resist unwanted peer pressure more firmly, as you will be less likely to doubt your own judgments for the sake of fitting in. Set clear personal goals. Having specific, positive goals (like getting good grades or mastering a skill) can keep you focused on your own path, reducing the influence of peers' negative behaviors that might distract you from your targets. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了同龄人压力的定义、积极和消极影响、人们屈服于同龄人压力的原因以及远离同龄人压力的方法。 【57题详解】 根据“Negative peer pressure involves pressure to do something dangerous or damaging to themselves or others.”可知，消极的同伴压力包括做危险或伤害自己或他人的事情的压力。故填Pressure to do something dangerous or damaging to themselves or others. 【58题详解】 根据“Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they want to try something new.”可知，有些孩子屈服于同龄人的压力，因为他们想被喜欢，或者因为他们担心如果他们不加入这个群体，其他孩子可能会嘲笑他们。其他人可能会跟着去，因为他们想尝试新的东西。故填Because they want to be liked, because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group, or because they want to try something new. 【59题详解】 根据“Choose your friends wisely. If you choose friends who don’t smoke cigarettes, or lie, then maybe you won’t do these things either. Even if you have peer pressure while you’re alone, there are still things you can do. You can be away from peers who pressure you to do something wrong. You can say “no” to them and walk away. At last, if you go on to have peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you depend on.”可知，文章谈到了四种远离同龄人压力的办法。故填Four. 【60题详解】 开放性试题，答案合理即可。故填Peer pressure is like a double-edged sword. On one hand, positive peer pressure can drive people to grow, such as inspiring someone to exercise more by admiring a sporty friend or promoting good reading habits among peers. On the other hand, negative peer pressure may lead to harmful behaviors that damage one's well-being, studies or relationships. Other effective ways to deal with it include: Build strong self-esteem and self-awareness. Clarifying your own values and understanding your strengths and bottom lines can help you resist unwanted peer pressure more firmly as you will be less likely to doubt your own judgments for the sake of fitting in.
