B
In Antarctica, my team really wanted to capture the moment when emperor penguin (企鹅) chicks jump into the ocean for their first swim. We had been in Antarctica for two months before it was time for these chicks to fledge. Fledging is when birds grow feathers that help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves. So these penguin “teenagers” form little groups and start waddling (摇摆) toward the sea together. The young penguins look messy as they shed the soft feathers that keep them warm and grow out their adult swimming feathers. Each has a unique boy-band-style haircut.
The penguins must walk about 15 miles from the home atop an enormous ice shelf to reach the water’s edge. We follow the birds from afar on snowmobiles. They crowd together at the end of the path and stare down like, “what’s that?” They’ve never seen the ocean before! To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up! It swims farther out to sea, never looking back.
At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time. Some jump off stylishly, and others slip and fall backward. Some even flap their wings as if they’ll fly. This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives.
4. What does fledging mean for penguins?
A. They’ll fly like other birds. B. They’ll look for their parents.
C. They’ll look cooler than ever. D. They’ll live an independent life.
5. How does the author feel about the young penguins at the cliff?
A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Exited. D. Confused.
6. Who does “Steve” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The father penguin. B. The author.
C. The first penguin to dive. D. The author’s teammate.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Dive into Adulthood B. Legends of Penguins
C. Scenery in Antarctica D. Adventures in Antarctica
C
If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.
They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories?
A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities.
C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills.
9. What does the recent study focus on?
A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability.
C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene.
10. What does the passage say about trusting others?
A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work.
C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response.
11 What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene.
B. How trusting you are frees people from disease.
C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities.
D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response.
D
Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward? This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my Switch to find a game to play and relax with. That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was obsessed. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common “Tetris effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called This Is Your Brain on Tetris, the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the catchy music stays with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency (效率), reported psychology website Practical Pie. Haier’s discovery got Tetris put into the Guinness World Records Video Gamer’s Edition 2008, as the “first video game to be proven to improve brain functioning and efficiency”.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function? But be warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
12. What does the underlined word “obsessed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. quite shocked. B. extremely interested. C. highly satisfied. D. very curious.
13. What can we learn about the “Tetris Effect” from the text?
A. It is connected to the way our memory works.
B. It is an uncommon occurrence among children.
C. It can cause the “Zeigarnik effect”.
D. It is primarily related to the game’s music.
14. What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier?
A. Improved memory. B. Lifted mood.
C. Better brain function. D. Fewer painful experiences.
15. What is the author’s tone in the last paragraph?
A. Serious. B. Amusing.
C. Worried. D. Doubtful.

During a vacation one year, my mom and I left our home. We went on a two-week trip to the countryside where my mother had grown up. I was excited because I couldn’t wait to see my grandparents. The last time I had visited them was when I was only three years old. I also wished to go sightseeing, ride elephants, and do many more things there. They must be very wonderful.
With great wishes, we arrived at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. During the first several days, I stayed in their house for fun. But soon, I got bored. I wondered what adventures were in store for me. One morning I said to my mom, “I really want to go outside to play.” My mom replied, “Stephanie, today we’re going to a school. The children there are studying in poor conditions. I decided to use some of my own money to buy some school supplies (日用品) for them.” Hearing that, I was a bit unhappy. “We can go out and play another day. Today we need to spend a little time helping these poor children,” Mom added. I had no choice but to agree.
A few minutes later, my mom drove me to the school. On the way, she said, “We’d first visit the school to know what kind of things these children want most. Then we’ll try to buy them.” I thought to myself: what a vacation I am having! I come here to go sightseeing, not do charity (慈善)work.
When we reached the school, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There was only one small building, which looked as if it were a hundred years old. There was no playground, no parking lot... It was so small; the school I went to back home was a million times bigger. How unlucky the children here were! We met a teacher in the school, and my mom told him the purpose of our visit. The teacher was very glad and thanked us.

Then the teacher guided us into a classroom

In Antarctica, my team really wanted to capture the moment when emperor penguin (企鹅) chicks jump into the ocean for their first swim. We had been in Antarctica for two months before it was time for these chicks to fledge. Fledging is when birds grow feathers that help them fly or, in the case of penguins, swim. Mom and Dad have headed out to sea for good, and the five-month-old chicks are realizing their parents aren’t coming back: They must hunt for themselves. So these penguin “teenagers” form little groups and start waddling (摇摆) toward the sea together. The young penguins look messy as they shed the soft feathers that keep them warm and grow out their adult swimming feathers. Each has a unique boy-band-style haircut.
The penguins must walk about 15 miles from the home atop an enormous ice shelf to reach the water’s edge. We follow the birds from afar on snowmobiles. They crowd together at the end of the path and stare down like, “what’s that?” They’ve never seen the ocean before! To my amazement, I see several hundred chicks gather at the edge of a 50-foot ice cliff! They stand together for four hours, staring at the rough water below. Finally one chick steps in front of the others, waddles to the edge of the cliff and dives off the side. I watch in fear, afraid the bird won’t resurface in the water after the long fall. But then it makes it, back up! It swims farther out to sea, never looking back.
At first the other penguins are like “Oh my gosh, what did Steve just do?” But then they realize it’s safe to jump. They begin to pour off the cliff, several little soft balls at a time. Some jump off stylishly, and others slip and fall backward. Some even flap their wings as if they’ll fly. This dive is their entrance into adulthood. They’ll swim out to sea and won’t return to the home for several years. How lucky we are to see this huge moment in their lives.
4. What does fledging mean for penguins?
A. They’ll fly like other birds. B. They’ll look for their parents.
C. They’ll look cooler than ever. D. They’ll live an independent life.
5. How does the author feel about the young penguins at the cliff?
A. Frightened. B. Concerned. C. Exited. D. Confused.
6. Who does “Steve” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. The father penguin. B. The author.
C. The first penguin to dive. D. The author’s teammate.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Dive into Adulthood B. Legends of Penguins
C. Scenery in Antarctica D. Adventures in Antarctica
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A
【解析】

If a stranger knocked on your door asking for using your phone, would you help? How about lending them five dollars for the bus, if they said they’d return and pay you back?
Nowadays, many people find it hard to trust strangers. A recent study found that our ability to trust strangers may be more than just a social or psychological characteristic — it could be rooted in our DNA. This is important, as it turns out that trusting people might actually live longer and healthier lives compared to more skeptical (怀疑的) people.
Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment. We can easily imagine that the answer to the question “Would you say that most people can be trusted?” would depend on whether you’d been robbed the day before or if you’d had your missing wallet returned.
This is where the recent research comes in. A professor of Lund University, Edgerton and his coworkers have been doing research about trust. In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.
They believe that the PLPP4 gene may somehow soften our “fight-or-flight” survival response. If our fight-or-flight system is less strong when we meet new people, it makes sense that trusting others could have huge health benefits. Indeed, if trusting others acts as something against stress, it may lower the risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
As people continue to uncover the mysteries of trust, one thing is clear: understanding its genetic roots may hold the key to developing healthier communities in the world.
8. What might affect people’s trust levels according to the two main theories?
A. Childhood habits. B. Personal abilities.
C. Social experiences. D. Communication skills.
9. What does the recent study focus on?
A. The mental cause of trust. B. The ways to develop survival ability.
C. The characteristics of different genes. D. The connection between trust and a gene.
10. What does the passage say about trusting others?
A. It could bring health benefits. B. It reduces the strong stress in work.
C. It helps to develop the world faster. D. It causes quicker survival response.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The ability to trust others relates to a single gene.
B. How trusting you are frees people from disease.
C. Your understanding of gene accounts for developed communities.
D. The PLPP4 gene lays the foundation of survival response.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。最近的一项研究发现,我们对陌生人产生信任的能力或许不仅仅是一种社会或心理特征——它可能源于我们的基因,文章对此进行了详细介绍。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第一句到第三句“Two main theories have appeared to explain why some people are more trusting than others. One suggests trust is a stable characteristic shaped by early life experiences. The other thinks it’s influenced by a person’s ongoing evaluation of the social environment.(关于为何有些人比其他人更易信任他人,出现了两种主要理论。一种认为信任是一种由早期生活经历塑造的稳定特征。另一种则认为信任受个人对社会环境持续评估的影响)”可知,根据这两种主要理论,社交经历可能会影响人们的信任程度。故选C。

细节理解题。根据第四段第三句到最后一句“In their most recent study, involving 33,882 Danish blood donors, they found a single gene (基因) — PLPP4, strongly associated with the personality of trusting others, and that the PLPP4 gene explained 6% of the difference in social trust within the study population. If you take two people who have similar education and life experiences, this gene alone could account for 6% of the difference in how much they trust others.(在他们最近的一项研究中,他们对 33882 名丹麦献血者进行了调查。研究发现,有一种名为 PLPP4 的基因与信任他人的性格特征密切相关,并且该基因解释了研究对象群体中社会信任差异的 6%。如果选取两个有着相似教育背景和生活经历的人,仅这一基因就能解释他们对他人信任程度差异的 6%)”可知,这项最近的研究关注的是信任与基因之间的联系。故选D。

Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s images afterward? This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块), created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my Switch to find a game to play and relax with. That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was obsessed. Even when I stopped, my brain was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I was experiencing the common “Tetris effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called This Is Your Brain on Tetris, the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends, keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the catchy music stays with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency (效率), reported psychology website Practical Pie. Haier’s discovery got Tetris put into the Guinness World Records Video Gamer’s Edition 2008, as the “first video game to be proven to improve brain functioning and efficiency”.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it improves your brain function? But be warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
12. What does the underlined word “obsessed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. quite shocked. B. extremely interested. C. highly satisfied. D. very curious.
13. What can we learn about the “Tetris Effect” from the text?
A. It is connected to the way our memory works.
B. It is an uncommon occurrence among children.
C. It can cause the “Zeigarnik effect”.
D. It is primarily related to the game’s music.
14. What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier?
A. Improved memory. B. Lifted mood.
C. Better brain function. D. Fewer painful experiences.
15. What is the author’s tone in the last paragraph?
A. Serious. B. Amusing.
C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者介绍了一款让自己入迷的游戏——俄罗斯方块,描述了这款游戏的一些特点应用以及科学家发现俄罗斯方块对人类大脑有独特的影响,并提议读者可以去体验一下俄罗斯方块。

I started looking at objects in the real world and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked together. I even dreamed about Tetris. (在我意识到之前,我已经 。即使我停止了,我的大脑仍在玩,这些方块在我脑海中落下。我开始观察现实世界中的物体并思考如何将它们移动并堆放在一起。我甚至梦到了俄罗斯方块)”可知,此处描述作者对俄罗斯方块着迷了。所以猜测obsessed的意思是“入迷的,着迷的”。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The lasting images of Tetris are due to the ‘Zeigarnik effect’, in which people have better memories of uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. (俄罗斯方块的持久图像是由于‘蔡格尼克记忆效应’,这个效应指出人们对未完成任务的记忆比对已完成任务的记忆要好)”可知,俄罗斯方块效应与我们在记忆方面的功能有关。故选A项。
【14题详解】

【36题详解】
考查名词。句意:来自中国和其他国家的一组研究人员和科学家正在共同努力,帮助提高对中国古代文化遗产的欣赏。空处用于动词increase之后,应用名词appreciation作宾语,表示“欣赏”。故填appreciation。
【37题详解】

【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:来自世界各地的游客参观敦煌,参观洞穴,洛杉矶的盖蒂博物馆甚至复制了洞穴和绘画的副本,供美国人欣赏。空处是非谓语动词,用不定式的复合结构:for sb.to do sth.作定语,修饰名词copy。故填to admire。

【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意:通过在互联网上分享如此多的数字照片,该组织希望促进世界各地对中国古代历史、文化和传统的更广泛兴趣。空处修饰名词interest,结合语境可知,此处表示“更广泛的”,应用wide的比较级形式wider。故填wider。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:他们还希望进一步教育人们保护历史和文化遗产的重要性,以便后代能够理解和欣赏。generation是可数名词,结合语境可知,此处表示“后代”,前无冠词,应用复数形式generations表示泛指。故填generations。

【答案】参考范文
Recently, the issue of global cultural heritage damage has aroused wide concern. Many precious sites are destroyed by human activities such as excessive tourism and improper construction.
Heritage sites serve as bridges for cultural exchange, connecting different civilizations around the world. What makes them particularly valuable is that they reflect the evolution of human civilization, aiding us to understand our shared past.

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。续写的词数应为 150 左右。
During a vacation one year, my mom and I left our home. We went on a two-week trip to the countryside where my mother had grown up. I was excited because I couldn’t wait to see my grandparents. The last time I had visited them was when I was only three years old. I also wished to go sightseeing, ride elephants, and do many more things there. They must be very wonderful.
With great wishes, we arrived at my grandparents’ house in the countryside. During the first several days, I stayed in their house for fun. But soon, I got bored. I wondered what adventures were in store for me. One morning I said to my mom, “I really want to go outside to play.” My mom replied, “Stephanie, today we’re going to a school. The children there are studying in poor conditions. I decided to use some of my own money to buy some school supplies (日用品) for them.” Hearing that, I was a bit unhappy. “We can go out and play another day. Today we need to spend a little time helping these poor children,” Mom added. I had no choice but to agree.
A few minutes later, my mom drove me to the school. On the way, she said, “We’d first visit the school to know what kind of things these children want most. Then we’ll try to buy them.” I thought to myself: what a vacation I am having! I come here to go sightseeing, not do charity (慈善)work.
When we reached the school, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. There was only one small building, which looked as if it were a hundred years old. There was no playground, no parking lot... It was so small; the school I went to back home was a million times bigger. How unlucky the children here were! We met a teacher in the school, and my mom told him the purpose of our visit. The teacher was very glad and thanked us.
Paragraph1:
Then the teacher guided us into a classroom.

Paragraph 2:
Holding the shopping list, my mom and I headed for a store.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Then the teacher guided us into a classroom. I found there were about twenty children. Their clothes were worn out; their school bags were just plastic ones. Immediately I felt sorry for them. The teacher introduced us and told them why we came here. Hearing that, all the children were excited, and told us the things they had wanted for long, such as picture books, new pencils and so on. My mom made a list of these things.
Paragraph 2
Holding the shopping list, my mom and I headed for a store. There I helped my mom pick up the things on the list. And I decided to buy something for the children using my own pocket money. My mom praised me for it. Then I added some candies to our supplies. These children were so glad and they thanked us when receiving the gifts. Some of them started reading the picture books and sharing the candies right away. That day, I learned doing something meaningful for others could also be a wonderful thing.
