While much can be learned about the state’s past by visiting larger urban areas like Oklahoma City, the state capital, and Tulsa, those in the know will include at least a few smaller towns on their travel plans. Guthrie Guthrie was Oklahoma’s first state capital and a focal point of the Land Run of 1889, an important event that saw thousands of settlers rushing to claim land across the Southwest.

Ardmore Ardmore became an important hub for the nation’s oil boom of the early 20th century. Its downtown retains much of its historic charm and early wealth, including the Santa Fe Depot, built in1915, which now houses the Greater Southwest Historical Museum. The Ardmore Public Library, dating to 1905, is another significant site that has been well-preserved, as is the Colcord Building, constructed in 1894 and one of Oklahoma’ s oldest standing structures built with steel (it’s now a luxurious 4-star hotel under Hilton’s Curio brand). Be sure to also head out into the surrounding Arbuckle Mountains and nearby Lake Murray for a scenic drive. Pawhuska Pawhuska is the heart of the Osage Nation and played an important role in Oklahoma’ s oil boom. The town’s fascinating past is enshrined in landmarks like the Osage Nation Museum, established in1938, and the oldest tribally owned museum in America, which describes Osage history, art, and culture vividly; while the 1914 Constantine Theatre is a striking reminder of early 20th-century entertainment that continues to host performances. 21.

She was in her early twenties, but looked as if life had beaten her down many times. Everything about her spelled hardship. The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat, along with some inexpensive items. Carefully placed in a far corner sat a little doll, some animal stickers, and a 50%-off pretty dress. When it was her turn and the store employee finally calculated everything and told her the cost, her face paled. She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change. Obviously, she didn’t have enough. She removed much-needed goods while the cashier patiently put them away with a pleasant smile. The child’s items remained in the cart, however. The man right behind me shouted loudly, and the young woman’s cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to pay for her groceries, but I knew that would hurt her. Instead, I turned around and said to the man in a low voice. “Be grateful you’ve never had to do that!” And then, as she tried to decide what other necessity she could return, I said, “Take your time. I’m in no hurry.” The woman finally reduced her groceries, paid and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items with the pile of items the woman had taken out and whispered “Separate bags, same bill please.” The cashier nodded and quickly complied. Then she “accidentally” rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor. As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit, I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart, along with a twenty-dollar bill. That night, as I sat with my husband, my thoughts went to the lady who I hoped was enjoying a hearty meal with her little girl, and I hoped silently that her life would take an easier turn soon. 24. How did the woman in front impress the author? A. She was interested in spelling words. B. She had experienced hardship in life. C. She enjoyed buying things for her kids. D. She had just moved into the neighborhood. 25. What happened to the woman? A. She forgot to bring her purse to pay for the items. B. She didn’t have enough money to pay for the items. C. She argued with the cashier and left the store angrily. D. She was in a hurry and asked the author to pay for her. 26. What did the cashier do to help the author? A. She attracted the lady’s attention with some oranges. B. She packed some free fruit in a bag for the woman. C She blamed the man who had shouted at the woman. D. She managed to get a job appointment for the woman. 27. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Humorous. B. Strict. C. Honest. D. Considerate. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了作者在超市看到一位生活拮据的女士因钱不够不得不退回生活用品，于是作者和收银员一起悄悄帮助她，既给她买了退回的物品，又维护了她的尊严的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She was in her early twenties, but looked as if life had beaten her down many times. Everything about her spelled hardship.(她才二十出头，但看起来好像被生活折磨了很多次。她的一切都写满了艰难。)”可知，作者觉得这位女士经历过生活的艰难。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change. Obviously, she didn’t have enough.(她打开钱包，开始数零钱和小额纸币。显然她的钱不够。)”可知，这位女士没有足够的钱支付所有物品。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Then she “accidentally” rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor.(然后她 “不小心” 用力滚了几个橙子，橙子从那位女士身边飞过，掉到了地上。) ”可知，收银员用橙子吸引了那位女士的注意力来帮助作者。故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I wanted to pay for her groceries, but I knew that would hurt her.(我想帮她付杂货钱，但我知道那样会伤害她的自尊。)”以及第五段“ As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit, I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart, along with a twenty-dollar bill.(当那位女士好心地跑去捡滚走的水果时，我迅速把两个额外的袋子和一张 20 美元的钞票一起放进了她的购物车里。)”可知，作者非常体贴、善解人意。故选D。 C Comfort food makes a person feel good. Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve moods by stimulating (刺激) the brain’s reward system. So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for comfort in times of stress. There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of comfort. However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are. Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of studies with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve moods. They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food. They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call it a comfort food. The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods — but only by a little bit and not more than the other food they liked. In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moods seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything — most likely just due to the passage of time. The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being (暂时), it does little to deal with emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情) in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances (例子) to be the exception rather than the rule. 28. Which aspect of comfort food do Traci Mann’s studies focus on? A. The degree to which it lifts moods. B. Its role in reducing negativity. C. The means by which it affects moods. D. Its influence on physical health. 29. How were the studies carried out? A. By analyzing questionnaires about comfort foods. B. By watching students’ different reactions to foods. C. By collecting data about people from all walks of life. D. By comparing students’ feelings on different occasions. 30. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To give a fact. B. To make a suggestion. C. To explain a rule. D. To offer an explanation. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Comfort Food Tends to Be Unhealthy B. Happiness from Comfort Food C. Comfort Food May Not Work Wonders D. The Science behind Comfort Food 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于安慰食物的研究，尽管人们认为高糖或高脂肪食物能在压力时带来安慰，刺激大脑奖励系统改善情绪，但研究表明安慰食物改善情绪的效果并不如人们想象的那么显著，它对处理情绪问题作用不大，作者建议偶尔食用安慰食物而非将其作为常规选择。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve moods.(研究人员研究了安慰食物实际上能在多大程度上改善情绪)”可知，Traci Mann的研究重点在于安慰食物提升情绪的程度。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call it a comfort food.(他们必须评估在被冰淇淋、披萨或他们表示通常会吃来感觉更好的任何食物安慰之前和之后的感受。所有学生在两个不同的场合完成了这项研究：一次是他们能吃自己的安慰食物，另一次是他们能吃另一种他们喜欢但不称之为安慰食物的食物)”以及第四段“In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moods seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything— most likely just due to the passage of time.(在另一项研究中，将安慰食物与完全不吃食物进行了比较，学生们即使什么都不吃，情绪似乎也有所改善——很可能只是因为时间的推移)”可推知，研究是通过比较学生在不同场合的感受来进行的。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being (暂时), it does little to deal with emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情) in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances (例子) to be the exception rather than the rule.(这些研究传达的关键信息是什么呢？虽然慰藉食物可能会让人暂时感觉好一些，但它对解决情绪问题作用不大。当然，每个人都可以偶尔尽情享用慰藉食物，但总体而言，最好让这种情况成为例外，而非惯例)”可推知，作者在最后一段是在提出建议。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are.(然而，这项研究最有趣的地方可能在于，食物带来的慰藉感远比我们通常认为的要少得多)”可知，文章开篇指出人们认为安慰食物能改善情绪，接着通过研究表明安慰食物改善情绪的效果有限，对处理情绪问题作用不大，即安慰食物可能不会创造奇迹。由此可知，C选项“安慰食物可能不会创造奇迹”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C项。 D Everywhere you go, it seems like people are using something to reduce the noise in their lives. They wear over-ear headphones on public transportation, during long flights, or in open-plan offices, or use colored earplugs (耳塞) at concerts. Silence is now big business, with the global market for noise-canceling (降噪) headphones bringing $13.1 billion in 2021. Experts predict that this figure will triple by 2031. While these market-based solutions are becoming popular, they raise a question: Are there physical and social effects to shutting out the world around us? Noise-canceling technology was first developed in the 1950s to reduce cockpit noise for pilots. The headphones today use technology known as active noise control. However, too much of a good thing also has its downsides. Many studies have shown that constant earplug wearing, day and night, over just one week can lead to a condition known as tinnitus (耳鸣). “When you stop listening to outside sounds, your brain starts to turn up its ‘internal volume’ so that it can still pick up on things.” McAlpine says. “If you stop the sound going into your ears, it’s like messing with how your brain is supposed to work naturally.” When it comes to distraction (干扰), the type of noise may matter as much as volume. Moderate (适中的) background noise, around 70dB, has been found to advance performance on creative tasks, for example.“Some people can work really effectively in buzzy cafes and even airports, and yet they can’t focus in the same way in an office. Even if it isn’t as noisy,” McAlpine says. “Your brain in the office is automatically paying attention to all those other conversations—because they might be about something you need to know.” How, then, can we deal with all the loud distractions in our modern lives? An over-dependence on noise-canceling technology is not necessarily the solution, says McAlpine. “We have given more control to outside sources over our sound environment compared to our visual environment,” he says. If people started wearing AR/VR goggles and living in their own virtual worlds instead of focusing on improving the physical environment, “And that’s problematic.” 32. What is the purpose of noise-canceling headphones? A. To pick up the sounds. B. To reduce the rate of tinnitus. C. To improve performance on creative tasks. D. To create a sense of silence in noisy environments. 33. Which statement is TRUE according to the article? A. Wearing noise-canceling headphones has no physical or social costs. B. Noise-canceling technology was first developed in the 1950s for concertgoers. C. The global market for noise-canceling headphones is believed to drop by 2031. D. Creative task performance can be improved by the moderate background noise. 34. What does the underlined word “buzzy” mean in the third paragraph? A. Lively. B. Advanced. C. Interesting. D. Quiet. 35. What attitude does McAlpine hold towards the over-dependence on the technology? A. Negative. B. Objective. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了降噪耳机的流行、降噪技术的原理、过度使用降噪设备带来的健康问题、适度背景噪音对创造力的积极影响，以及专家对过度依赖降噪技术的反对态度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Everywhere you go, it seems like people are using something to reduce the noise in their lives. (无论你走到哪里，似乎人们都在使用一些东西来减少生活中的噪音。)”及“Silence is now big business, with the global market for noise-canceling headphones bringing $13.1 billion in 2021.(安静如今是一门大生意，2021 年全球降噪耳机市场收入达到 131 亿美元。)”可知，降噪耳机的目的是在嘈杂的环境中创造安静的感觉。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Moderate background noise, around 70dB, has been found to advance performance on creative tasks, for example.(例如，人们发现大约70分贝的适度背景噪音可以提高创造性任务的表现。)”可知，适度的背景噪音可以提高创造性任务的表现。故选D。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Some people can work really effectively in buzzy cafes and even airports, and yet they can’t focus in the same way in an office.(有些人在buzzy咖啡馆甚至机场都能高效工作，却在办公室里无法集中注意力。)”可知，咖啡馆甚至机场都是喧闹的场所，故buzzy 在这里表示“热闹的、活跃的”。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“An over-dependence on noise-canceling technology is not necessarily the solution, says McAlpine.(McAlpine说，过度依赖降噪技术不一定是解决办法。)”及“If people started wearing AR/VR goggles and living in their own virtual worlds instead of focusing on improving the physical environment, “And that’s problematic.”(如果人们开始戴上AR/VR眼镜，活在自己的虚拟世界里，而不去致力于改善现实环境，“这是有问题的。”)”可知，McAlpine对过度依赖这项技术持否定态度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） A majority of the people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. ___36___ Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ____37____ Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ____38____ Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. Just pick the book up. This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. ____39____ Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Dracula’s Castle. Remember: there is no right answer. There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process. ____40____ Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t quite perfect, it is still valuable! A. Allow the book to grow with you. B. So how does one approach a classic? C. It has some form of historical influence. D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging. E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something. F. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity. G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. D 39. F 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了阅读经典文学的方法与心态，包括接受困惑、研究背景、勇敢开始以及享受解读的过程。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us.(对经典作品的喜爱显然不是一见钟情的。这是一个循序渐进的过程。我们一开始只是泛泛之交，最终却成了亲密无间、能分享只有彼此才懂的玩笑的朋友)”可知，人们与经典作品的关系是逐渐建立的，下文则列出了一些接近经典作品的方法，空处需承上启下，B选项“So how does one approach a classic?(那么一个人该如何接近一部经典呢？)”在此处起到了很好的过渡作用，它基于上文所描述的经典阅读的现状，引出下文针对如何阅读经典的具体阐述，符合上下文的逻辑关系，起到了承上启下的作用，故选B。 【37题详解】 根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn.(相反，你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪，并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知，空处与下文形成转折关系。由此可知，E选项“Never beat yourself up for not knowing something.(永远不要因为不知道而责怪自己)”能够与下文形成语义的转折，符合语境。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据本段小标题“Research, research, research.(研究，研究，再研究)”可知，本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知，D选项“Before you turn to page one, do some digging.(在你翻到第一页之前，做一些调查)”中“do some digging”与小标题中的“Research”意思相近，都表达了在阅读经典之前进行研究的意思，符合本段主旨，符合语境。故选D。 【39题详解】 根据上文“While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so.(虽然仅仅拿起一本书并不难，但我们都知道，说服自己去这么做可能会有多难)”及下文“Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. (深吸一口气，然后纵身跃上梅尔维尔笔下 “裴廓德号” 的甲板，或者小心翼翼地穿过德古拉城堡的大门)”可知，有时候开始阅读一本经典作品需要一些动力及读书的具体做法。F选项“Remind yourself that it’s a new learning opportunity.(提醒自己这是一个新的学习机会)”提供了一个很好的动力，即把阅读经典作品看作是一个学习的机会，从而激励自己去开始阅读，同时也与下文鼓励进入书中情境进行阅读相呼应，符合上下文逻辑。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文“There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no defining interpretation, no singular, exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects and insights are meaningful to you. Enjoy the process.(阅读经典文本没有完美的方法。不存在权威性的解读，也没有唯一确切的答案。作为读者，你的目标是去发现哪些方面和见解对你来说是有意义的。享受这个过程)”可知，上文强调阅读经典没有唯一正确的方式，鼓励读者发现对自己有意义的方面并享受这个过程，G选项“Consider what confuses you, read with intention, and think critically. (考虑一下让你困惑的地方，有目的地阅读，并进行批判性思考)”是实现上文所提目标的具体做法，且这些做法符合没有绝对正确答案的理念，能够衔接上文，符合语境。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Orange chicken, salt and pepper chips, fried rice...

While much can be learned about the state’s past by visiting larger urban areas like Oklahoma City, the state capital, and Tulsa, those in the know will include at least a few smaller towns on their travel plans. Guthrie Guthrie was Oklahoma’s first state capital and a focal point of the Land Run of 1889, an important event that saw thousands of settlers rushing to claim land across the Southwest. Guthrie Historic District is one of the best-preserved collections of Victorian-era architecture in the United States and encompasses over 2,000 buildings, including the Oklahoma Territorial Museum and Carnegie Library, home to fascinating exhibits about Guthrie’s early years. Ardmore Ardmore became an important hub for the nation’s oil boom of the early 20th century. Its downtown retains much of its historic charm and early wealth, including the Santa Fe Depot, built in1915, which now houses the Greater Southwest Historical Museum. The Ardmore Public Library, dating to 1905, is another significant site that has been well-preserved, as is the Colcord Building, constructed in 1894 and one of Oklahoma’ s oldest standing structures built with steel (it’s now a luxurious 4-star hotel under Hilton’s Curio brand). Be sure to also head out into the surrounding Arbuckle Mountains and nearby Lake Murray for a scenic drive. Pawhuska Pawhuska is the heart of the Osage Nation and played an important role in Oklahoma’ s oil boom. The town’s fascinating past is enshrined in landmarks like the Osage Nation Museum, established in1938, and the oldest tribally owned museum in America, which describes Osage history, art, and culture vividly; while the 1914 Constantine Theatre is a striking reminder of early 20th-century entertainment that continues to host performances. 21. For visitors interested in Victorian buildings, which is the most recommended? A. Osage Nation Museum. B. Ardmore Public Library. C. Constantine Theatre. D. Guthrie Historic District. 22. Which building was remodeled into a hotel? A. Colcord Building. B. Oklahoma Territorial Museum. C. Ardmore Public Library. D. Santa Fe Depot. 23. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To offer travel routes. B. To explain the history. C To introduce towns worth visiting. D. To advertise travel. B As I stood in line waiting to check out at my favorite store, I studied the customer in front of me. She was in her early twenties, but looked as if life had beaten her down many times. Everything about her spelled hardship. The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat, along with some inexpensive items. Carefully placed in a far corner sat a little doll, some animal stickers, and a 50%-off pretty dress. When it was her turn and the store employee finally calculated everything and told her the cost, her face paled. She opened her purse and began counting small bills and change. Obviously, she didn’t have enough. She removed much-needed goods while the cashier patiently put them away with a pleasant smile. The child’s items remained in the cart, however. The man right behind me shouted loudly, and the young woman’s cheeks reddened with embarrassment. I wanted to pay for her groceries, but I knew that would hurt her. Instead, I turned around and said to the man in a low voice. “Be grateful you’ve never had to do that!” And then, as she tried to decide what other necessity she could return, I said, “Take your time. I’m in no hurry.” The woman finally reduced her groceries, paid and moved down to bag them. When my turn came, I moved forward and placed several items with the pile of items the woman had taken out and whispered “Separate bags, same bill please.” The cashier nodded and quickly complied. Then she “accidentally” rolled several oranges hard enough so that they flew past the lady and onto the floor. As the woman kindly ran to pick up the runaway fruit, I quickly put the two extra bags into her cart, along with a twenty-dollar bill. That night, as I sat with my husband, my thoughts went to the lady who I hoped was enjoying a hearty meal with her little girl, and I hoped silently that her life would take an easier turn soon. 24. How did the woman in front impress the author? A. She was interested in spelling words. B. She had experienced hardship in life. C. She enjoyed buying things for her kids. D. She had just moved into the neighborhood. 25. What happened to the woman? A. She forgot to bring her purse to pay for the items. B. She didn’t have enough money to pay for the items. C. She argued with the cashier and left the store angrily. D. She was in a hurry and asked the author to pay for her. 26. What did the cashier do to help the author? A. She attracted the lady’s attention with some oranges. B. She packed some free fruit in a bag for the woman. C. She blamed the man who had shouted at the woman. D. She managed to get a job appointment for the woman. 27. Which of the following best describes the author? A. Humorous. B. Strict. C. Honest. D. Considerate. C Comfort food makes a person feel good. Food high in sugar or fat tends to improve moods by stimulating (刺激) the brain’s reward system. So it makes sense that many of us may turn to food for comfort in times of stress. There’s some fascinating research that examines food as a source of comfort. However, the most interesting thing about this research may be that foods are far less comforting than we tend to believe they are. Traci Mann, a professor of psychology, and colleagues conducted a series of studies with college students. The researchers examined how much comfort foods actually improve moods. They provided students with one of the three foods that they had indicated were their top, personal comfort foods. After producing a negative mood by having them watch movie clips designed to increase their sadness, anger and anxiety, the researchers offered the students their comfort food. They had to assess (评估) how they felt before and after they were supposedly comforted by ice cream, pizza or whatever they had indicated they typically ate to feel better. All of the students completed the study on two separate occasions: once when they were able to eat their comfort food and once when they were able to eat another food they liked, but they wouldn’t call it a comfort food. The researchers found that comfort food did improve students’ moods — but only by a little bit and not more than the other food they liked. In another study, comfort food was compared to no food at all, and students’ moods seemed to improve even when they didn’t eat anything — most likely just due to the passage of time. The take-home message from the studies? While the comfort food may make the person feel better for the time being (暂时), it does little to deal with emotional problems. Of course, everyone can indulge (纵情) in a comfort food from time to time, but overall, aim for these instances (例子) to be the exception rather than the rule. 28. Which aspect of comfort food do Traci Mann’s studies focus on? A. The degree to which it lifts moods. B. Its role in reducing negativity. C. The means by which it affects moods. D. Its influence on physical health. 29 How were the studies carried out? A. By analyzing questionnaires about comfort foods. B. By watching students’ different reactions to foods. C. By collecting data about people from all walks of life. D. By comparing students’ feelings on different occasions. 30. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To give a fact. B. To make a suggestion. C. To explain a rule. D. To offer an explanation. 31. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Comfort Food Tends to Be Unhealthy B. Happiness from Comfort Food C. Comfort Food May Not Work Wonders D. The Science behind Comfort Food D Everywhere you go, it seems like people are using something to reduce the noise in their lives. They wear over-ear headphones on public transportation, during long flights, or in open-plan offices, or use colored earplugs (耳塞) at concerts. Silence is now big business, with the global market for noise-canceling (降噪) headphones bringing $13.1 billion in 2021. Experts predict that this figure will triple by 2031. While these market-based solutions are becoming popular, they raise a question: Are there physical and social effects to shutting out the world around us? Noise-canceling technology was first developed in the 1950s to reduce cockpit noise for pilots. The headphones today use technology known as active noise control. However, too much of a good thing also has its downsides. Many studies have shown that constant earplug wearing, day and night, over just one week can lead to a condition known as tinnitus (耳鸣). “When you stop listening to outside sounds, your brain starts to turn up its ‘internal volume’ so that it can still pick up on things.” McAlpine says. “If you stop the sound going into your ears, it’s like messing with how your brain is supposed to work naturally.” When it comes to distraction (干扰), the type of noise may matter as much as volume. Moderate (适中) background noise, around 70dB, has been found to advance performance on creative tasks, for example.“Some people can work really effectively in buzzy cafes and even airports, and yet they can’t focus in the same way in an office. Even if it isn’t as noisy,” McAlpine says. “Your brain in the office is automatically paying attention to all those other conversations—because they might be about something you need to know.” How, then, can we deal with all the loud distractions in our modern lives? An over-dependence on noise-canceling technology is not necessarily the solution, says McAlpine. “We have given more control to outside sources over our sound environment compared to our visual environment,” he says. If people started wearing AR/VR goggles and living in their own virtual worlds instead of focusing on improving the physical environment, “And that’s problematic.” 32.

Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. ___36___ Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: It’s hard to power through confusion.

Research, research, research. ____38____ Researching the author — and the time and place they were writing about — can help you situate yourself during tricky passages.
