A．knows B．knew C．know D．will know 【答案】 1．D 【详解】句意：我妹妹擅长唱歌。她甚至能唱一些法语歌曲。 考查代词辨析。I我；He他；You你；She她。根据“My sister is good at singing.”可知，此处指“我”妹妹会唱法语歌曲，指第三人称，且为女性，故用代词She指代。故选D。 2．A 【详解】句意：我们通常在星期天早上野餐。 考查介词辨析。on用于具体的某一天或某一天的上午/下午/晚上；at用于具体的时间点；to表示方向或时间范围；in用于月份、季节、年份或泛指上午/下午/晚上。句中“Sunday mornings”是具体的某天上午，需用介词on。故选A。 3．C 【详解】句意：上周末你做了什么有趣的事情吗？ 考查形容词修饰不定代词。something interesting 一些有趣的事情；interesting something 表述错误；anything interesting 些有趣的事情；interesting anything 表述错误。首先，形容词修饰不定代词，需置后，故排除BD；因为some用于肯定句，any用于否定和疑问句，且此处是一般疑问句，故选C。 4．D 【详解】句意：这风景多美啊！ 考查感叹句用法。根据句末标点可知，此句为感叹句。本题中“beautiful”为形容词，符合结构“How+形容词/副词+主语+谓语”。故选D。 5．A 【详解】句意：今天的天气多好啊！ 考查感叹句。根据“fine weather it is!”可知，此处考查感叹句，中心词为不可数名词weather，所以用what引导感叹句，结构：What+形容词+不可数名词+主谓。故选A。 6．D 【详解】句意：我为2025年9月阅兵式上的士兵们感到骄傲。 考查介词的搭配。in在……里；for为了；with和……一起；of……的。be proud of意为“以……为自豪”。故选D。 7．C 【详解】句意：看电视前你必须完成作业。这是规定。 考查情态动词。can能，可以；may可能，可以；must必须；might可能，可以。根据“It’s a rule.”可知，看电视前必须完成作业。故选C。 8．D 【详解】句意：暑假期间我看望了祖父母，过得很愉快。 考查一般过去时。根据时间状语“during the summer holiday”（暑假期间）和并列谓语“had a great time”（过去时）可知，动作发生在过去，需用过去时。故选D。 9．C 【详解】句意：我决定找点有趣的东西来读来度过夜晚。 考查动词不定式。decide to do sth.表示“决定做某事”，动词不定式作宾语。故选C。 10．B 【详解】句意：——妈妈，我今晚可以和凯特出去逛逛吗？——当然，但你必须九点前回来。 考查情态动词辨析。Would常用于委婉请求，常搭配like等；Could用于请求许可，语气较委婉；Must表必须、一定；Need需要。此处是孩子请求妈妈允许自己外出，用Could符合语境，表委婉请求。故选B。 11．B 【详解】句意：老师们经常告诉我们在研学旅行期间要互相帮助。   考查非谓语动词的用法。help帮助，动词原形；to help不定式；helping动名词或现在分词；helps三单形式。根据“tell us”可知，“tell sb. to do sth.”意思是“告诉某人做某事”，这里需要用动词不定式形式，故选B。 12．A 【详解】句意：没有人知道这道数学题的答案，所以我们明天会向老师求助。 考查主谓一致和时态。根据句意“so we’ll ask…”可知，此处描述现在的事实，用一般现在时。主语“Nobody”是不定代词，作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。故选A。 四、完形填空。 Anna lived alone for a long time. She always kept a 1 from everybody. One day, she 2 a new place. A poor family lived next door. It was a mother with two children. “Such a family will surely bring 3 .

It was the children from the neighboring (隔壁的) family. She didn’t want to open the door, but the child kept 5 . So she opened the door just a little and looked at the child 6 . The child asked softly, “Auntie, do you have a candle at home?” she thought to herself: “Don’t give him one, or they might bring me more trouble in the future.” So, she said to the child, “No.” Just as she was going to close the door, the child showed a kind 7 . “Mom was 8 that you didn’t have a candle, so she asked me to bring two for you.” Hearing this, she stood there speechless.

The reason? Our brain evolved (进化) to deal with large social networks. So humans, it seems, are built to socialize. Three-quarters of the brain is the neocortex, an area for cognitive functions (认知功能) like memory, language and problem-solving. These abilities enable people to get along with their families, friends, and sports teams and build a wide social network. But keeping these relationships requires a lot of mental effort. Because of this, there is a limit (限度) to how many close relationships we can keep, according to British psychologist Robin Dunbar. To understand these limits, Dunbar studied large primates (灵长类动物) and found that the bigger the neocortex, the larger the social group. Based on his studies of over 30 primate species, he estimated (估计) that humans can have social groups of around 150 people. He compared human relationships to ripples (涟漪) on a pond. The innermost circle is just about five people—friends or family members—that you feel emotionally closest to. Then comes a layer with 10 additional good friends you often see. “About 60% of your social attention goes to these 15 people,” Dunbar said. Farther out is what he calls your “weekend party group” of 50 people, including the 15 that you see regularly. Finally, the outer layer brings the total to 150 people, including another 100 you would invite to your once-in-a-lifetime big events. He estimates that there are about 350 people you know in addition to your 150 close friends. Beyond that, most of us can recognize another 1,000 people by sight—for example, famous people—but they might not recognize you. “Those outer layers beyond 150 are kind of one-way relationships,” Dunbar said. “But the key to the 150 and the layers within is that they are reciprocated. Unlike one-sided relationships of the outer circles, these close connections require each other’s care and effort.” Other researchers think the number is even bigger. In the time of social media, it seems possible to go beyond 150 people. But Dunbar believes online communication doesn’t change the size of our close networks. “It’s hard to get real emotional support from someone you can’t physically hug,” he says, “It’s just not the same.” 1．According to Dunbar, the size of large primates’ social networks depends on ________. A．their memory B．the size of the neocortex C．the need to socialize D．their intelligence 2．What can we learn from the passage? A．The number of people we see regularly is around 15. B．Most primates can recognize 1,000 of their kind by sight. C．The innermost circle takes up 60% of people’s social attention. D．Social media increases the size of the social network by 150 people. 3．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 7 “they are reciprocated” probably means ________. A．their relationships progress over time B．their relationships are easy to manage C．they are similar to each other in many ways D．they both work to keep the relationship going 4．Which would be the best title for the passage? A．The Neocortex: A Key Area in Your Brain B．The Size of Our Social Networks Is Limited C．Building Social Connections with More Effort D．Emotional Support Matters in Human Relationships 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文基于邓巴数理论，探讨了人类社交网络规模的生理和心理限制，指出尽管社交媒体扩展了社交范围，但真正需要相互维持的亲密关系数量仍有上限。 1．细节理解题。根据“Dunbar studied large primates and found that the bigger the neocortex, the larger the social group.”可知，灵长类动物社交网络的大小取决于大脑新皮层的大小。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据“The innermost circle is just about five people...Then comes a layer with 10 additional good friends you often see.”可知，我们经常见面的人数大约是5+10=15人，A选项正确。故选A。 3．词句猜测题。根据“Unlike one-sided relationships of the outer circles, these close connections require each other’s care and effort.”可知，与外圈单方面的关系不同，这些亲密关系需要彼此的关心和努力，所以“they are reciprocated”意思是双方都努力维持这段关系。故选D。 4．最佳标题题。文章主要围绕人类社交网络规模的限制展开，阐述了邓巴数理论及不同层次社交关系的构成，因此最佳标题是“我们的社交网络规模是有限的”。故选B。 Part 1: Read and Explore Mr. Brown and Mrs. Brown are our neighbors(邻居). They have two children, a boy and a girl. The boy is Jack and the girl is Alice. Jack is 11 years old, and he is one year older than me. Alice and my sister Nancy are eight years old. At weekends, Nancy and I like to play with Alice and Jack. Both Jack and I enjoy playing computer games. Sometimes the girls join us, but the games they enjoy are different from the ones we like. There’s a big park near our houses. Sometimes, when the weather is fine, the four of us will ride a bike there. We often stop in the big square(广场) to have some fun. Jack and I like to play basketball, but the girls like to sing and dance. Our two families often have dinner together. Sometimes they come over to our homes and sometimes we go over to theirs.
