Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20 Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.” Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14 Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art SG in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting-edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum. Paris Photo: Paris, Nov. 13-16 Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas. 1. What is special about Art Dubai? A. Its active interaction. B. Its electronic artworks. C. Its cutting-edge collections. D. Its theme on photography. 2. Which fair has the longest history? A. Art Dubai. B. Expo Chicago. C. Tokyo Gendai. D. Paris Photo. 3. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the work of artists. B. To make assessments on art market. C. To recommend upcoming art fairs. D. To predict future development of art. 【答案】1. B 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了2025年即将举办的四个艺术展览。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20部分中“The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs.(这次展会有一个数字作品展区，这在其他展会上并不常见)”可知，迪拜艺术博览会的特别之处是它的电子艺术品。故选B项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025.(巴黎摄影展每年举办一次，到2025年将迎来第28届)”可知，巴黎摄影展的历史最悠久。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The art market rises and falls, but art fairs are forever. Here are some fairs coming up in 2025.(艺术市场有起有落，但艺术博览会是永恒的。以下是2025年即将举办的一些展会)”可推知，文章的目的是介绍即将到来的艺术博览会。故选C项。 B At the Paris 2024 Olympics, sport climbing featured two medal events for men and women: Speed and a combined Boulder & Lead event. Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure — Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007. “The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals — which was the highlight — and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.” The focus for the routesetters is to offer a challenging but also fair competition. Routes for the combined Boulder & Lead event were carefully designed to ensure that specialists in one discipline didn’t have an unfair advantage. “Our aim is to offer a balanced competition,” Hammerer said. “For the podiums (领奖台), the athletes have to be really strong in both disciplines.” Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. “The materials and structures have also changed greatly,” Hammerer said. “Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.” Routesetting used to be quite independent and greatly influenced climbing style. “But now, federations set training routes for athletes. When we see this on social media, we get new input for our work,” Hammerer reflected. As Hammerer once said, “Climbers evolve, and so must we.” He continues to shape the future of climbing — one route, one challenge, one story at a time. 4. What does Hammerer do? A. He competes in sport climbing events. B. He coaches athletes for the Olympics. C. He designs routes for sport climbing. D. He judges climbing competitions. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The materials used for route setting. B. The process of setting climbing routes. C. The criteria for routes of varied levels. D. The location selected for route setting. 6. How did Hammerer’s team achieve their aim? A. By balancing innovation and adaptation. B By sticking to federations’ training routes. C. By promoting their concept through social media. D. By disciplining themselves to follow strict guidelines. 7. What message does Hammerer convey in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Change is the only constant. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了2024年巴黎奥运会攀岩比赛背后的关键人物——马丁·哈默尔（Martin Hammerer），他负责设计攀岩比赛的路线，并详细描述了他的工作内容、设计理念以及攀岩路线设置的发展变化。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure — Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007.(在幕后，有一个关键但往往不为人知的人物——Martin Hammerer，负责Lead路线的经验丰富的团队负责人，自2007年以来一直在国际上制定路线。)”可知，Hammerer是设计运动攀岩路线的，故选C。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals — which was the highlight — and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.(‘实际的设计是在攀岩墙上进行的。国际运动攀岩联合会（IFSC）预先选择了材料，然后我们用它来设定路线。’当被问及他在巴黎的工作时，Hammerer解释说：‘我们从决赛开始——这是最精彩的部分——然后回到半决赛。在完成一条路线后，我们拍摄了它，并将其移走并储存起来以备以后使用。’)”可知，Hammerer在本段解释了攀岩路线是怎样设计的。由此可知，第二段主要介绍了设置攀岩路线的过程，故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. ‘The materials and structures have also changed greatly,’ Hammerer said. ‘Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.(路线设置在很大程度上依赖于团队的创造力。在过去的15年里，风格发生了变化，今天的路线更加宽松和充满活力。‘材料和结构也发生了很大变化，’Hammerer说：‘每个赛季，我们都会重新适应运动员。’)”可知，路线设置在很大程度上依赖于团队的创造力，并且每个赛季都会重新适应运动员；由此可知，Hammerer的团队通过平衡创新和适应来实现他们的目标，故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As Hammerer once said, ‘Climbers evolve, and so must we.’ He continues to shape the future of climbing — one route, one challenge, one story at a time.(正如Hammerer曾经说过的那样，“登山者在进化，我们也必须进化。”他继续塑造登山的未来——一条路线，一个挑战，一个故事。)”可知，Hammerer在最后一段中传达的信息是“变化是唯一不变的”，即我们要随着攀岩者的进化而进化，要不断创新和适应，故选B。 C Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study ever strongly toward a highly predictive model, participants tended to finish each phrase in their head, preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.) In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Martin. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Martin says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.” The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.” 8. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence. C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain. 9. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake. 10. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure? A. Universe the about documentary saw. B. Saw I a documentary about the universe. C. I saw a documentary about the universe. D. I a documentary about the universe saw. 11. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of brain researches. B. The application of the present findings. C. The purposes of different linguistic models. D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人类大脑如何通过调整每个句子的处理方式来适应不同语言的基本语法差异。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence.(理解一个看起来很简单的英语句子，比如“我昨天读了这篇文章”，实际上需要一些复杂的概念计算：一个主语（“我”）在一个特定的时间（“昨天”）对一个宾语（“文章”）执行了一个动作（“阅读”）。但根据语言学家安德里亚·马丁（Andrea E. Martin）的说法，人类的大脑通常会根据语言的语法规则同时完成这一工作。马丁的团队现在发现，人类大脑可以通过调整处理每个句子的方式来适应不同语言之间的基本语法差异。)”可知，文章第一段首先举例说明理解一个看似简单的英语句子其实需要复杂的概念计算，接着提到语言学家马丁的观点，即人类大脑能根据语言的语法规则几乎立刻完成这项工作，并且马丁的团队有了新发现：人类大脑可以通过调整处理每个句子的方式来适应不同语言之间基本的语法差异。所以第一段引用这个例子是为了引入这个新的研究发现。故选C项。 9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词前文“But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study ever strongly toward a highly predictive model, participants tended to finish each phrase in their head(但在马丁的研究中，说荷兰语的人总是倾向于一个高度预测的模型，参与者倾向于在他们的脑海中完成每一个短语)”提到荷兰语使用者更倾向于高度预测性模型，即在句子短语未完成前，参与者往往在脑海中提前补全，“preemptively”与前文“predictive(预测性的)”呼应，结合后文“before it was complete(在它完成之前)”可知，preemptively词义为“提前地”，B选项“in advance(提前)”符合语境。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Martin. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Martin says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.”(该研究的主要作者马丁解释说，在荷兰语的语言结构中，动词出现在句子的末尾，而不是像英语中那样紧跟在主语之后。例如，“I eat a cookie with chocolate”在荷兰语中是“I the cookie with chocolate eat”。“你得等很长时间才能等到动词出现，”马丁说。“这可能是不切实际的晚；你在处理句子时可能会更有预见性。”)”可知，在荷兰语结构中，动词靠近句子末尾，而不是像英语那样紧跟在主语之后。D选项“I a documentary about the universe saw.”中动词“saw”在句子末尾，符合荷兰语结构。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.”(这一发现支持了科学家在构建语言模型时考虑更多多样性的必要性。马丁说：“这将帮助我们了解大脑是如何理解语言的结构意义以及语言的社会应用的。”“大脑中还有很多有待了解的东西。”)”可知，马丁说这些发现支持科学家在构建语言模型时需要纳入更多多样性，表明纳入多样性对理解大脑如何理解语言的结构意义和语言的社会应用有帮助。所以马丁强调的是在研究中使研究对象多样化的必要性。故选D项。 D Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it. Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted. A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”. Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain. A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology. 12. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1? A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people. C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects. 13. Which is one of the main findings of the research? A. Less ability to compare themselves to others. B. Worse control over emotions. C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement. D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions. 14. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______. A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants. C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear? B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm? C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year? D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain? 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天津师范大学关于短视频对大脑影响的研究，指出其虽有相关发现但存在局限性，最后建议人们反思媒体使用习惯。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘brain rot’ refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much ‘unimportant or unchallenging’ content online.(“脑雾”指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象)”可知，“脑雾”是一种由网络内容导致的精神状态。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions.(研究人员对111名短视频高频使用者的大脑进行扫描后发现：沉迷程度越深者，脑结构变异越显著。这些受试者眶额皮层(决策与情绪管理中枢)及小脑(调控运动与情绪区域)的灰质明显增厚)”可知，研究的主要发现之一是决策相关区域的灰质增多。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect.(这项研究的一大缺陷在于其单次检测法。若要证明长时间观看短视频会损伤大脑，更有效的方法应是对受试者观看不同时长视频前后的脑部变化进行对比。但该研究仅采集了单一时间节点的数据，既未追踪长期变化，也未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系)”可知，作者质疑该研究的设计主要是因为它未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系，即未能建立因果关系。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “ brain rot ” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.(2024年度牛津词典将“脑雾”选为年度词汇，该词指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象。尽管这个说法常被戏谑使用，但天津师范大学的最新研究表明，其中或许确有科学依据)”、第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure.(研究人员对111名经常观看短视频的学生的大脑进行了检查，发现那些对短视频最着迷的学生的大脑结构有明显差异)”和倒数第二段“Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.(尽管研究结果令人担忧，但其本身存在局限性。类似关于科技对大脑影响的担忧早有先例——比如数字媒体威胁人类生存的论调，然而迄今都缺乏确凿证据佐证。英国巴斯大学彼得·埃切尔斯教授强调，目前并无可靠科学依据证明短视频会特异性地损伤大脑功能)”可知，文章介绍了关于“脑雾”的研究，说明因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象，但同时指出该研究存在局限性，没有确凿证据证明短视频对大脑有独特危害。故A项“Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?(脑雾：是真正的威胁还是被夸大的恐惧?)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选A项。 七选五 The more I travel, the more I feel like I understand the world, the people in it, and, often, myself. Getting off the beaten path, meeting locals, and visiting incredible sites have made my life better. ____16____ While I go into a lot of depth in my new book on budget travel, I want to share some tips with you. Pack light. Write down a list of essentials, cut it in half, and then only pack that! Take half the clothes you think you will need. ____17____ It’s OK to wear the same T-shirt a few days in a row.

You will pass the time and get to learn so much about where you are. They have exploded in popularity in the last few years and you can find them in nearly any major city in the world. ____20____ This is probably one of the most underused travel tips in the world. Tourism information centers know about everything going on in town. They can point you to free activities, special events happening during your stay, and everything in between. They are also staffed by locals who can tell you all the ins and outs of their city. A. I use it for all my hostel bookings. B. You won’t need as much as you think. C. Always visit the local tourism information center. D. Hostels are usually located in the heart of the city. E. It’s good to know a few practical tips to make sure you travel safely. F. And if you welcome such experiences, it will make your life better, too. G. Besides being free, these tours will give you a good idea of the city you are visiting. 【答案】16. F 17. B 18. A 19. G 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章分享了作者通过旅行获得的感悟，提供了轻装出行、住青旅、参加免费步行游览和咨询游客中心等实用旅行建议，帮助读者提升旅行体验。 【16题详解】 前文“The more I travel, the more I feel like I understand the world, the people in it, and, often, myself. Getting off the beaten path, meeting locals, and visiting incredible sites have made my life better. (走得越远，我越能理解这个世界、其中的人们，以及常常被重新认识的自己。离开常规路线，遇见当地居民，探访绝美风景——这些都让我的生活更美好)”介绍旅行给自己带来的好处，后文“While I go into a lot of depth in my new book on budget travel, I want to share some tips with you. (尽管我在新出版的穷游指南中已经做了详尽阐述，但在此仍想与你分享几条实用建议)”提到要分享旅行建议，因此F项“And if you welcome such experiences, it will make your life better, too. (如果你也欢迎这样的体验，它会让你的生活更美好)”符合语境，过渡到旅行也会给读者带来好处，承前启后，其中的make your life better和前文的made my life better呼应。故选F。 【17题详解】 前文“Take half the clothes you think you will need. (衣服只带你认为必需的一半就够了)”强调带更少的衣物，后文“It’s OK to wear the same T-shirt a few days in a row. (连续几天穿同一件T恤完全没问题)”指出衣服可以重复穿，因此B项“You won’t need as much as you think. (你需要的不会像你以为的那么多)”符合语境，解释少带衣服的原因，承前启后。故选B。 【18题详解】 前文“Hostelworld is the best hostel-accommodation website out there, with the largest inventory (房源), best search interface, and highest availability. (Hostelworld是全球最佳的青年旅舍预订平台，拥有最丰富的房源储备、最优的搜索界面和最高的预订成功率)”推荐使用Hostelworld网站预订旅馆，因此A项“I use it for all my hostel bookings. (我所有的青旅预订都通过它完成)”符合语境，提到自己使用Hostelworld的经验，佐证前文的推荐，其中的it指代前文的Hostelworld。故选A。 【19题详解】 前文“Take free walking tours. (参加免费步行游览)”是本段主旨句，建议参加免费步行游览，后文“You will love taking walking tours when you travel. You will pass the time and get to learn so much about where you are. (旅行时参加步行游览绝对会让你爱上这种体验——既能消磨时光，又能深度了解当地风情)”详细介绍免费步行游览的好处，因此G项“Besides being free, these tours will give you a good idea of the city you are visiting. (除了免费之外，这些游览能让你很好地了解所访问的城市)”符合语境，总的指出免费步行游览对旅游体验的好处，呼应主旨句，引出后文。故选G。 【20题详解】 后文“This is probably one of the most underused travel tips in the world. Tourism information centers know about everything going on in town. They can point you to free activities, special events happening during your stay, and everything in between. They are also staffed by locals who can tell you all the ins and outs of their city. (这可能是全球最被低估的旅行建议了。游客信息中心掌握着城里的一切动态：既能为你推荐免费活动、特别庆典等各类精彩项目，更有熟悉城市每个角落的当地工作人员，为你揭秘这座城市的所有门道)”推荐前往信息游客中心，并详述其功能，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，需统领段落内容，且需和其他段首句一样使用祈使句的形式，因此C项“Always visit the local tourism information center. (一定要去当地的旅游信息中心)”符合语境，建议去旅游信息中心，契合段落内容。故选C。 三、完形填空 On our first date, my now-husband asked, “What’s your favourite book?” The ___21___ was the first clue that his heart already belonged to another: books. Short on finances and furniture in our first apartment, we were ___22___ to find an abandoned bookcase to ___23___ his modest book collection. Months later, we attended the Big Book Sale held ___24___ at a stadium. I thought we’d add four or five second-hand ___25___ to our shelves.

It was a message from Ryan: “Meet at the park in 15 minutes?” Jake smiled. It had been a long week of school, and he couldn’t wait to play basketball with his friends. Just as he was heading out, his mom called from the kitchen. “Jake! Come back! I need your help with the storage room.” “But Mom, I told Ryan I’d meet him at the park,” Jake protested. “We talked about this. Grandma is moving in this weekend, so we need to clean out the storage room to make space for her.” “Grandma?” Jake thought, the word feeling almost foreign on his tongue. He didn’t even know her that well — it had been years since she last visited, and now she was moving in? He couldn’t believe he had to give up his Saturday for someone he barely knew. With complaints and sighs, he kicked at the floor as he trudged down the hallway, dragging his feet like they weighed a ton. Stepping into the storage room, his nose wrinkled in disgust. The place was a disaster. Spiderwebs drooped from every corner, and dust swirled in the sunlight like dirty smoke. Boxes teetered in unstable stacks, a rolled-up carpet with worn edges lay half-spilled across the floor, and forgotten junk crowded every inch. Jake let out a long, dramatic sigh — this job was going to take forever. Just as he was about to give up and sneak a text to Ryan, a faded blue album tucked at the bottom of the suitcase caught his eye. Faint words were etched on its leather cover: Stories with Jake (To Be Continued…). He pulled it out and flipped it open—the pages were filled with moments of him and his grandmother. On the very first page was a photo — On the very first page was a photo: his grandmother, much younger then, cradling a tiny baby wrapped in a soft blanket. At the bottom of the photo he saw some words in careful handwriting: “Glad to meet you, baby Jake.” 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。 Paragraph 1: As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 As he flipped through more photos, Jake’s eyes began to mist. There were pictures of him as a baby, always in his grandmother’s arms — smiling, feeding him, helping him take his first steps. He hadn’t remembered any of it, but the photos told a story of love and time shared. His anger from earlier now felt silly. Taking a deep breath, he set the album aside and got to work. He rolled up the old carpet, stacked boxes neatly, and swept the floor, stirring up clouds of dust. Spiderwebs clung to his sleeves, but he didn’t stop. The room slowly changed from a forgotten mess to a clean, welcoming space. As sunlight streamed in, Jake looked around and smiled. Maybe this wasn’t such a bad way to spend a Saturday. Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. She blinked in surprise, then smiled softly as she ran her fingers over the worn cover. “You found this?” she asked. Jake nodded.” I didn’t know we had so many memories.” They sat together on the edge of the bed, flipping through the pages. She laughed at some photos, explained others, and paused with misty eyes at a few. When they reached the last page, Jake grinned. “Let’s add a new one.” He grabbed his phone, held it out, and the two leaned in close. “Say cheese!” Click. A fresh photo joined the album—Jake and his grandmother, smiling side by side, ready to continue their story together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Jake原本计划周六和朋友打篮球，但被妈妈要求帮忙清理储藏室以迎接即将搬来的奶奶的故事。在清理过程中，Jake发现了一本记录了他和奶奶过去时光的相册，这让他对奶奶产生了新的认识。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他翻看更多照片时，他的眼睛开始湿润了。”可知，第一段可描写Jake在翻看相册时，看到了自己和奶奶过去的照片，感受到了奶奶的爱，从而改变了之前对奶奶搬来的不满态度，开始认真清理储藏室。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，当他的奶奶走进她的新房间时，Jake把相册递给了她。”可知，第二段可描写Jake把相册送给奶奶，两人一起翻看相册，回忆过去，并决定一起继续他们的故事，拍了一张新的照片加入相册。 2.续写线索：发现相册——翻看照片——感受奶奶爱——改变态度——认真清理——奶奶走进房间——把相册送给奶奶——一起翻看——决定继续故事——拍摄新照片 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始工作：get to work/start working ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/inhale deeply ③放置：set aside/put aside/place aside 情绪类 ①生气：anger/rage ②惊讶地：in surprise/in amazement 【点睛】【高分句型1】She blinked in surprise, then smiled softly as she ran her fingers over the worn cover.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】When they reached the last page, Jake grinned.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语一月月考试题 一、听力选择题 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读两遍。 1. What is the man dissatisfied with about the apartment?

Art Dubai: Dubai, Apr. 18-20 Founded in 2007, Art Dubai usually features around 120 galleries, some 65 percent of which are from the Global South. The fair has a section for digital works — not typical at other fairs. The solo project section, Bawwaba, is worth seeing. Expo Chicago: Chicago, Apr. 25-27 Expo Chicago was established in 2012. The 2024 edition had 170 galleries from 29 countries exhibiting their artworks. One of those was Claire Oliver Gallery of New York, which has participated in every edition so far. “We love this fair,” Claire Oliver said. “The visitors are engaged, ask great questions and are truly curious.” Tokyo Gendai: Yokohama, Sept. 12-14 Asian art fairs have been growing rapidly. The biggest regional player, Art Basel Hong Kong, was joined by Singapore’s Art SG in 2023, the same year as the first edition of Tokyo Gendai. The fair had 69 galleries showing contemporary art in July 2024 for its second edition. “The focus is on cutting-edge and contemporary work,” said Tim Blum, who runs the gallery Blum. Paris Photo: Paris Nov. 13-16 Held annually, Paris Photo will have its 28th edition in 2025. Despite the photography focus, organizers say the fair has crossover appeal. “We’ve expanded the range of collectors — we get not only photography people, but contemporary art collectors,” said the fair’s artistic director, Anna Planas. 1. What is special about Art Dubai? A. Its active interaction. B. Its electronic artworks. C. Its cutting-edge collections. D. Its theme on photography. 2. Which fair has the longest history? A.

B At the Paris 2024 Olympics, sport climbing featured two medal events for men and women: Speed and a combined Boulder & Lead event. Behind the scenes, there is a crucial but often unseen figure — Martin Hammerer, head of the experienced team responsible for the Lead routes, who has been setting routes internationally since 2007. “The actual design took place at the climbing wall. The International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC) pre-selected the material, which we then used to set the routes,” Hammerer explained when asked about his work in Paris. “We started with the finals — which was the highlight — and worked backward to the semi-finals. After completing a route, we photographed it, removed and stored the holds for later use.” The focus for the routesetters is to offer a challenging but also fair competition. Routes for the combined Boulder & Lead event were carefully designed to ensure that specialists in one discipline didn’t have an unfair advantage. “Our aim is to offer a balanced competition,” Hammerer said. “For the podiums (领奖台), the athletes have to be really strong in both disciplines.” Routesetting relies heavily on the team’s creativity. The style has changed over the past 15 years, with today’s routes looser and more dynamic. “The materials and structures have also changed greatly,” Hammerer said. “Every season we adapt to the athletes anew.” Routesetting used to be quite independent and greatly influenced climbing style. “But now, federations set training routes for athletes. When we see this on social media, we get new input for our work,” Hammerer reflected. As Hammerer once said, “Climbers evolve, and so must we.” He continues to shape the future of climbing — one route, one challenge, one story at a time. 4. What does Hammerer do? A. He competes in sport climbing events. B. He coaches athletes for the Olympics. C. He designs routes for sport climbing. D. He judges climbing competitions. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The materials used for route setting. B. The process of setting climbing routes. C. The criteria for routes of varied levels. D. The location selected for route setting. 6. How did Hammerer’s team achieve their aim? A. By balancing innovation and adaptation. B. By sticking to federations’ training routes. C. By promoting their concept through social media. D. By disciplining themselves to follow strict guidelines. 7. What message does Hammerer convey in the last paragraph? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Change is the only constant. C. Slow and steady wins the race. D. Actions speak louder than words. C Understanding a simple-looking English sentence such as “I read this article yesterday” actually requires some complicated conceptual computation: a subject (“I”) performed an action (“read”) on an object (“article”) at a specific time (“yesterday”). But the human brain routinely does this work nearly at once based on the language’s grammatical rules, says linguist Andrea E. Martin. And Martin’s team has now found that the human brain can accommodate fundamental grammatical differences across languages by adjusting how it processes each sentence. For a recent study in PLOS Biology, the researchers observed variations in Dutch-speaking participants’ brain waves while they listened to a Dutch-language audiobook. To visualize these changes, the scientists used a metric (指标) quantifying how many new “predictions” the brain makes of words that could come next in a sentence. This framework was then tested against three different parsing (语法分析的) strategies, or linguistic models that illustrate how the brain builds information over time. Previous English-based studies with a similar setup concluded in favor of a model where listeners “wait and see” how each phrase in a sentence will end before interpreting it. But the Dutch speakers in Martin’s study ever strongly toward a highly predictive model, participants tended to finish each phrase in their head, preemptively before it was complete. (A third model, in which listeners wait to hear all of the phrases in a sentence before interpreting any part of it, is seldom used in either language.) In Dutch language structure, verbs come near the end of a sentence rather than immediately after the subject like they do in English, explains study lead author Martin. For instance, “I ate a cookie with chocolate” in Dutch would be “I the cookie with chocolate ate.” “You would have to wait very long for the verb to come,” Martin says. “And that’s probably unrealistically late; you’re probably much more predictive in processing the sentence.” The findings support the need for scientists to include more diversity when crafting linguistic models. “This is going to help us capture how the brain is understanding the structured meaning of language, and the social application of language,” Martin says. “There’s so much yet to be understood in the brain.” 8. Why does the author cite the example in paragraph 1? A. To introduce a grammar rule. B. To analyze an English sentence. C. To bring in a new research finding. D. To stress the complexity of human brain. 9. What does the underlined word “preemptively” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. By accident. B. In advance. C. On time. D. By mistake. 10. Which sentence can match the Dutch language structure? A. Universe the about documentary saw. B. Saw I a documentary about the universe. C. I saw a documentary about the universe. D. I a documentary about the universe saw. 11. What does Martin try to stress in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of brain researches. B. The application of the present findings. C. The purposes of different linguistic models. D. The necessity to diversify subjects in studies. D Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it. Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted. A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”. Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain. A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology. 12. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1? A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people. C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects. 13. Which is one of the main findings of the research? A. Less ability to compare themselves to others. B Worse control over emotions. C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement. D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions. 14. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______. A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants. C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements. 15. Which is the best title for the text? A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear? B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm? C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year? D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain? 七选五 The more I travel, the more I feel like I understand the world, the people in it, and, often, myself.

It was a message from Ryan: “Meet at the park in 15 minutes?” Jake smiled. It had been a long week of school, and he couldn’t wait to play basketball with his friends. Just as he was heading out, his mom called from the kitchen. “Jake! Come back! I need your help with the storage room.” “But Mom, I told Ryan I’d meet him at the park,” Jake protested. “We talked about this. Grandma is moving in this weekend so we need to clean out the storage room to make space for her.” “Grandma?” Jake thought, the word feeling almost foreign on his tongue. He didn’t even know her that well — it had been years since she last visited, and now she was moving in? He couldn’t believe he had to give up his Saturday for someone he barely knew. With complaints and sighs, he kicked at the floor as he trudged down the hallway, dragging his feet like they weighed a ton. Stepping into the storage room, his nose wrinkled in disgust. The place was a disaster. Spiderwebs drooped from every corner, and dust swirled in the sunlight like dirty smoke. Boxes teetered in unstable stacks, a rolled-up carpet with worn edges lay half-spilled across the floor, and forgotten junk crowded every inch. Jake let out a long, dramatic sigh — this job was going to take forever. Just as he was about to give up and sneak a text to Ryan, a faded blue album tucked at the bottom of the suitcase caught his eye. Faint words were etched on its leather cover: Stories with Jake (To Be Continued…). He pulled it out and flipped it open—the pages were filled with moments of him and his grandmother. On the very first page was a photo — On the very first page was a photo: his grandmother, much younger then, cradling a tiny baby wrapped in a soft blanket. At the bottom of the photo he saw some words in careful handwriting: “Glad to meet you, baby Jake.” 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。 Paragraph 1: As he flipped through more photos, his eyes began to mist. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Next morning, when his grandmother stepped into her new room, Jake handed her the album. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
