Prize这一奖项的基本情况、徽章和评选要求等。 21.A 细节理解题。根据第二段的“After terrible storms，the glacier lily is the first plant to bring the land back to life"可知，冰川百合是可怕的暴风雨之后首先使大地恢复生机的植物，因此它象征着勇气和希望。 22.C 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Barron Prize winners are chosen by a volunteer committee of professionals"可知，获胜者是由不同领域的经验丰富的专业人士组成的评委团选出来的。 23.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“There is an amazing amount of research that goes into the judging process，as well as debate during the selection discussions”可知，评选过程包括大量研究和讨论。 B 【解题导语】本文介绍了两位外国友人在中国的文化遗产之旅。 24.D 细节理解题。根据第一段的“China's rich and deep culture"和第二段的"the preservation of 5，000 years of Chinese civilization..Chinese intangible cultural heritage"可知，这部纪录片主要是关于中国文化的保护。 25.B 短语猜测题。根据第一段的“a first-person view”"making it accessible to people of all backgrounds"和画线短语后的“the preservation of 5，000 years of Chinese civilization...between Chinese and foreign civilizations”可知，这部纪录片以第一人称视角呈现，让不同背景的人更容易理解中国的文化，结合选项可知，B项符合语境，此处指它使五千年中华文明的保护、传统文化的创新发展、中国非物质文化遗产的传承和保护更容易理解。 26.B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“they communicated with local artisans...and passed down in daily life”可知，他们还与当地手工艺人交流，参与了书法、剪纸等传统活动，并倾听当地人讲故事，探索非物质遗产的文化意义，真正了解了传统如何在日常生活中得以保存和传承。故可推知他们的旅行是一场深入的文化探索之旅。 27.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Eyeing new personal goals of introducing Chinese calligraphy to the world...about the journey”可知，这次旅行让他确定了今后的努力方向。 C 【解题导语】文章主要介绍了明信片的起源、迅速发展以及被其他通信方式取代的原因。 28.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In this age of online communication，it is easy to forget how recently postcards were a main way of sending images and short messages"可知，在这个网络通信时代，明信片已经被人们遗忘。作者的朋友说他旅行结束后会亲自递送明信片，因为这样明信片到达得更快。由此可推知，作者通过朋友的话来解释明信片被人们遗忘的原因，即明信片太慢了。 29.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“His proposal was not accepted.Who would give up their privacy，even for convenience？"可知，因为人们不会放弃自己的隐私，即使是为了方便，所以Heinrich的提议遭到拒绝。 30.A 词义猜测题。画线词后的“it seemed very silly...could read the message"说到文化精英人士一方面认为在明信片上写任何私人的东西似乎很荒谬，也极不合适，因为邮递员、邻居或仆人都可以看到这些信息。再根据画线词后的“if one lacked anything in large amounts to write，why did he write at all？”可知，另一方面，文化精英人士对明信片的使用发出疑问：如果一个人没有很多要写的东西，那为什么要写呢？这些说明文化精英人士对明信片的流行感到不解，故画线词表示 “使困惑”。 31.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We always seek communications...the trouble we take in the connection"可知，我们总是寻求简单、不费力的通信方式，而且认为这样的通信方式有助于真正的联系，但对于接收者来说真正珍贵的是此过程中我们所付出的努力。由此可知，作者想告诉人们有意义的联系值得付出努力。文本精读 透彻学语篇 D 【解题导语】科学家开发了一种利用空气中的水分分解塑料的新方法，可将塑料转化为可回收利用的材料，促进环保与循 32.C 细节理解题。根据第一段的“By putting an inexpensive catalyst（催化剂）into plastics”和“we achieve an exceptionally clean and safe process"可知，新的塑料分解方法成本低、干净环保。 33.A 推理判断题。根据第二段的"5%...50%...since2000...double by 2050.To date，only 9%”可知，本段是通过列举数字的方法来阐述塑料污染的严重性的。 34.C 段落大意题。根据第三段内容尤其是“put a catalyst to PET...heated the mixture.When the team put the material in the air...tested the method on mixed plastics"可知，本段介绍的是研究人员的实验过程，包括催化剂的使用以及对不同类型塑料的处理效果等。 35.D 观点态度题。根据最后一段的"It worked perfectly...It's a fine balance...just the right amount"可知，他认为这个方法运作得非常完美，空气中的水分含量恰好是合适的，达到了一个微妙的平衡。因此他认为空气中水分的影响是令人惊喜的。 第二节 【解题导语】文章主要探讨了好奇心如何影响人们对信息的记忆，并强调充分利用好奇心的重要性。 36.E 上文的“These are not just questions from a particularly difficult public test"指出这些问题不只是来自一场特别难的公共测试，下文介绍了一个实验。E项“它们被研究人员用于一项开创性的实验”承上启下，指出这些问题的用途，引出下文的实验，符合语境。E项中的They指代空前的questions，researchers 对应下文中的 they。 37.G 本段主要讲述了研究结果。研究人员认为当人们对某件事感到好奇时，他们会更好地记住细节。研究结果表明他们是对的。G项“研究人员试图找出好奇心对人们的思想有什么影响”引出下文，符合语境。 38.F 根据上文的“But what was perhaps more surprising...they remembered these facts"和下文的"They seemed to receive a hit of dopamine（多巴胺）"可知，当人们回忆这些事实时，他们似乎接收到了一次多巴胺的冲击。因此，空处应和大脑活动有关。F项“当他们接受脑部检查时，他们的脑部活动完全不同”承上启下，符合语境。F项中的brain是原词复现。 39.В 根据上文的"Dopamine is one of our feel-good hormones..their curiosity made them feel good"可知，多巴胺是一种让我们感觉良好的激素，它能激活大脑中负责学习和形成记忆的部分。因此，对于研究参与者来说，激发他们的好奇心会让他们感觉良好。B项“他们继而更善于接收信息”承接上文，进一步指出激发人们的好奇心的好处。B项中的They指代上文的the study participants。 40.C 根据上文的"Making full use of your curiosity is an important method for building adventure into your life"可知，充分利用好奇心是在生活中加入冒险精神的一个重要方法。结合下文的"It also allows us to focus longer"可知，空处应和下文共同说明好奇心的好处。C项“好奇心不仅仅使我们的生活更愉快”符合语境。C项中的doesn't simply和下文的also对应。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 【解题导语】作者儿子与其他孩子争执并推倒别人后，作者因在意他人看法而斥责了儿子。后来作者意识到，当孩子犯错时，家长应引导孩子，而非纠结于他人的看法。 41.B 根据下文叙述可知，在作者儿子与其他孩子争执并推倒别人后，作者因在意他人看法而对儿子喊叫，问了第一段中类似的问题，后来作者反思了自己的做法。故此处指这种问题在一个下午让作者醒悟。hit home为固定短语，意为“使人豁然醒悟”。take effect“生效”；stand out“突出”；come alive“生动起来”。 42.C 根据下文“unusually got into a shouting match with another kid over a toy”和“he pushed the boy down”可知，作者儿子与另一个孩子高声地争论并推倒了他，这是不同寻常的，故可推知作者的儿子本来是有礼貌的。talkative“健谈的”；playful“爱玩的”。 43.A 根据语境可知，这里指作者还没来得及做出反应（reply），儿子就把男孩推倒了。protest“抗议”；forgive“原谅”。 44.C 根据下文的“as people looked on”和“worrying about others'opinions”可知，作者在意他人的看法，因此当众人旁观时，作者会感觉尴尬（awkward）。 45.A 根据下文的"How could you have done that？What will people think of you，and me？”可知，此处指作者抓着儿子胳膊对他喊叫。beg“恳求”；cry“喊叫”。 46.B 根据语境及“with tear-filled eyes，and wasn't 46 anymore—he was frightened"可知，作者儿子跟其他孩子发生争执并将他推倒，他应是感到生气的，此处指在被作者吼之后他不再生气而是害怕。cross在此处是形容词，意思是“生气的，恼怒的”。regretful“后悔的”。 47.B 作者儿子与他人发生争执，作者没有去尝试了解是什么让儿子恼怒，而是关注他人如何评判自己，即在他人眼中自己是怎么做父母的。 48.A 参见上题解析。 49.D 根据下文的“in the eyes of other people instead of helping my son deal with his feelings...patiently"可知，后来作者回顾自己当时的行为（actions），意识到自己更关心自己在别人眼中的形象（image），而不是帮助儿子处理他的感受，而当时儿子恰恰需要作者耐心地引导（guide）。 50.C 参见上题解析。influence“影响”；achievement“成就”。 51.A 参见第 49 题解析。prevent“阻止”；identify“辨认”。 52.D 根据下文的“It's more important to help them grow into someone kind，strong，and confident"可知，此处指那天的经历让作者意识到捍卫（championing）孩子成长的重要性。document“记录”；appreciate“欣赏”。 53.D 根据下文的“When kids face challenges，it's our job to 54 them and provide help”可知，此处指随着时间推移，作者学会关注真正重要的事情。shine“出色”。 54.B 根据下文的 provide help可知，这里在讲作者的感悟，当孩子面临挑战时，父母的工作是支持（stand by）他们。learn from“向……学习”；turn to“求助于”；try out“测试”。 55.D 作者儿子推倒别人是错误的做法，故此处指作者倡议下一次孩子犯错误时，父母们应退一步，向他们展示无条件的爱，因为他们成长为善良、坚强且自信的人比别人的想法更重要。make excuses“找借口”；make promises“做出承诺”；make attempts“做出尝试”。 第二节 【解题导语】文章介绍了写作可以作为一种治疗方法，帮助人们更好地理解个人情绪和感受。 56.practical 考查形容词。根据空前的 a 和空后的 therapy可知，空处应用形容词，表示“有效的”，故填practical。 57.a 考查冠词。写作是一种非常好的方式，可以让我们表达自己的想法和感受，从而更好地了解自己。way“方法”为可数名词，此处表泛指，且perfect的发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词 a。 58.ourselves 考查代词。空处作 understand的宾语，主语是we，故此处应用we的反身代词，故填ourselves。 59.putting 考查非谓语动词。当我们将自己的想法写在纸上时，就参与了日记写作或写作疗法。这里是“连词+非谓语动词”作状语，主语We与put是逻辑上的主谓关系，故用动词-ing 形式。 60.in 考查介词。in some ways意为“在某种程度上”，为固定短语，故用介词 in。 61.to help 考查非谓语动词。许多治疗师可能会使用写作作为一种治疗练习，以帮助他们理解一个人情绪和感受的爆发。空处所在句已有谓语动词，故空处为非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此处应用动词不定式表示目的。 62.forms 考查名词复数。form在此意为“形式”，为可数名词。根据空前的other可知，空处应用名词复数。 63.is said 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。这种疗法据说可以帮助缓解压力、整理思绪，并将我们的情绪和感受与我们的行为联系起来，还有更多的益处。此处描述客观事实，谓语动词应用一般现在时；be said to do 表示“据说……”，为固定用法；主语 This therapy 是第三人称单数，谓语用单数。 64.behavior（s）考查名词。空处作介词 to 的宾语，结合空前的our可知，空处应用名词。behavior既可作可数名词，又可作不可数名词，故填 behavior（s）。 65.who/that 考查定语从句。对那些在治疗中不太愿意或不太习惯表达自己情感的青少年和年轻人来说，它是一个很好的工具。空处引导定语从句且在从句中作主语，先行词是"teenagers and young adults”，故填 who/that。 第四部分 写作 Dear Emma， How are you doing？Here comes a piece of good news（倒装）：the History Club of our school will organize activities related to the preservation of the Mogao Caves. It's your strong interest in the Mogao Caves that inspires me to invite you to join us.（强调句）Were you to attend，not only would you enjoy a lecture on their history at 9：00 am on October17th in the school hall（虚拟语气，倒装），but you would also have the opportunity to interact with repairers. I'd appreciate it a lot if you could let me know your decision at your earliest convenience. I'm looking forward to your reply. Yours， Li Hua 第二节 【情节线】Ella最担心的一门课是美术，她不擅长素描、绘画或雕塑→Ms.Amanda宣布学校要举行一场美术比赛，这让Ella 很紧张→Ella 问 Ms.Amanda 她是否可以写一篇美术论文来替换，老师开导她美术不拘泥于形式，是一个人表达情感的方式→Ella决定试一试，她在纸上写下了“害怕”，又把纸揉 成一团→Ella 盯着纸球，有了一个主意 【情感线】this announcement made Ella nervous→Ella found herself sinking lower in her chair→Ella felt frightened→face her fears and give it a try 【续写思路】根据续写第一段首句可知，第一段可以描写Ella如何用揉皱的纸创作自己的美术作品。Ella的美术作品要能够表达她的情感，故本段可以描述Ella如何通过这种皱巴巴的纸表达自己的情感并最终完成自己的美术作品。根据续写第二段首句可知，Ella小心翼翼地把她的作品带进了图书馆。第二段可描写大家对 Ella 的作品的反应以及Ella 的内心活动。结尾可以呼应 Ms.Amanda 所说的话“美术是一个人表达情感的方式”，升华主题。 Suddenly an idea struck her：Why not create something out ofcrumpled paper？The more Ella thought about it，the more she warmed to the idea.With determination，she began crumpling sheets of paper this time.Had she not experienced such anxiety and pressure，she might not have come up with this idea.（虚拟语气）Over the next few days，with her hands working tirelessly（with 复合结构），the crumpled paper was transformed into an intricate tree，each ball of paper，which symbolized growth even in imperfection（非限制性定语从句），becoming a leaf. On Friday，Ella carefully carried her work into the library. She placed it among those extremely beautiful paintings. Small as she felt（倒 装），her courage kept her standing tall. Other students，their curiosity aroused（独立主格结构），began gathering around and appreciating the creativity of using something so simple to express such complex emotion. It was its reflection of shared human struggles that made the work stand out.（强调句）On that day，Ella really understood Ms. Amanda's words-art isn't just about skills，but about sharing who you are with the world. 听力材料 Text 1 W: How cold it is today! I still have to wear a jacket in May in case I catch a cold.  M: It's not strange. I remember I had to wear a jacket one day in June last year.  Text 2 W: Did you hear that Mr. Peterson is coming next week, Gordon? M: Yes. So call all the department heads to my office. We need to give him reports on our program.  Text 3 W: I'm so excited that we are going to the concert. It will last for about three hours. M: I miss going to concerts so much. We haven't enjoyed live music for two years.  W: Yes, let's enjoy it. Text 4 M: You've already tried on 10 dresses, honey. Come on, our daughter will be late for school.  W: It is my first day of work. There are so many people to impress. M: Don't worry. You are always the most beautiful in town. Text 5 M: Do you really give up? You've hardly even started to guess. Oh, okay, I'll tell you. The secret addition is dark chocolate.  W: With chicken? No way! That's amazing!  M: Just a tiny bit. The rest of the chocolate went into the cake I'm about to bring out. Text 6 W: Well, sir. Will you be checking any bags? M: I just have one carry-on and my computer. W: All right. Here is your boarding pass. The flight will begin boarding at 7:00 at Gate 3. Enjoy your trip.  M: I'm sure I will. Traveling business class is always a pleasure, especially on an overnight flight like this. I can't wait for it.  Text 7 M: Angela, it seems you're drawn to the computer.  W: I've found this interesting online news about recent discoveries in the Maya civilization.  M: So, what's the latest? W: Scientists have uncovered cities dating back to 1000 BC. They were connected by long stone highways, which are considered the world's first highway system. M: I had no idea they had such advanced roads. W: The Maya were first thought to be hunter-gatherers, but these discoveries have proven they were already creating cities. And to do this in a forest environment, they had to clear rainforest areas for farming and build large underground man-made lakes to store rainwater.  M: Surprising! Someday I'll visit the Maya ruins. I wonder how a civilization like theirs came to an end. W: Scientists are still trying to uncover the reasons. You know what? I think I know what topic I should present to our classmates in Mr. Smith's class next Tuesday — the great Maya civilization!  Text 8 M: So, is it as boring as you thought it would be? W: I hate to say it, but I'm actually quite enjoying it.   M: Yes, I knew it. W: Calm down. I still have no interest in collecting the cards, but I must say this show is pretty attractive.   M: Who do you like best? W: I quite like Pikachu. It's cool to see a character based on one of my favorite animals. M: According to the designer, Pikachu was inspired by a kind of mouse, which is confusing. What's a pika anyway? W: It is part of the rabbit family. Look, here's a photo. M: Oh, so cute. W: I know, even cuter when you see them carrying little flowers around. And they're really common across British Columbia. M: You mean in western Canada?   W: Yeah, so I saw them all the time growing up.   Text 9 M: Why did you quit athletics, Gemma? W: I'd achieved several medals for coming second and third in world events and I'd been lucky enough not to pick up too many injuries. I felt I had the ability to keep on going. But the truth was that I was fed up with living out of a suitcase.   M: Was it easy to adapt to life after retirement? W: At first no. After a short rest, I started applying for paid jobs. I needed something to do to prevent me from thinking about the good things about being an athlete.   M: Was it easy to find a job with your background? W: Not at all. When employers looked at my information, there was no evidence that I was fit for the job.   M: But finally someone took you on and five years later, you set up your own company to help retired sportspeople. Was the business an immediate success? W: Not in the early days. But I didn't give up. I always had a name for being a strong person when I was an athlete. What kept me going most of all was the knowledge that my business would meet a real need.   Text 10 W: When I read the economic news — the housing problem, the high cost of necessities, or the possibility that AI will make my professional skills out of date — I always come back to the same thought: I should start growing my own vegetables. Money savings and fresh produce aside, gardening and spending time in nature have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. For people like me who live in cities, there's no doubt gardening helps connect with neighbors, and the exercise of planting can support general health. But like many adults in the US, I live with back pain, and it makes repetitive physical movements uncomfortable. Fortunately, this spring I've been seeing Rebecca, a specialist in health care at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. She has a deep love for plants. She grows flowers as well as medicinal plants in her own garden, and has a lot of ideas about how to ease gardening activities to prevent pain.   学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 能力提升卷 测试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1.What are the speakers mainly talking about？ A.

B Daniel Newham and Cleo Luden set out on an exciting journey to discover Chinese culture，which is part of the documentary China's Culture Journey，an English documentary that provides global audiences with a first-person view of China's rich and deep culture and modern atmosphere，making it accessible to people of all backgrounds. The documentary sheds light on the preservation of 5,000 years of Chinese civilization，the creative development of traditional culture，the inheritance and protection of Chinese intangible cultural heritage，and the exchanges and learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations. During their journey，they visited 16 landmarks across China，including 9 UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Hangzhou's Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City，the Grand Canal Yangzhou section，and the Temple of Confucius in Qufu. Beyond admiring the sites，they communicated with local artisans，took part in traditional activities like calligraphy and paper-cutting，and listened to stories from locals. They also dug into the cultural significance of the intangible heritage，developing a real understanding of how traditions are preserved and passed down in daily life. Having lived in China for over 25 years，Newham，45，is no doubt an "expert". Still，he described the journey as "eye-opening，all-inspiring and heartwarming ".The Green Cloud Corridor，a landmark in Sichuan，particularly impressed him. Newham shared that there were many memorable moments，people and stories during the journey. He was touched by an archaeological team member born after 1995 at the Sanxingdui archaeological site in Sichuan，who broke the stereotype（刻板印象）about people of such a young age. He was also attracted by the oracle bone script calisthenics（甲骨文广播体操）in Anyang，which combines the mysterious ancient Chinese writing with dance exercises. Eyeing new personal goals of introducing Chinese calligraphy to the world, Newham described how he felt about the journey, inviting more global visitors to visit and experience China firsthand. 24. What is the documentary mainly about? A. Modern lifestyles. B. Presentations of the heritage. C. New arrivals to China. D. Preservation of the culture. 25. What does the underlined phrase "sheds light on "in paragraph 2 mean? A. Raises funds for. B. Explains more clearly about. C. Makes a proposal for. D. Talks more quickly about. 26. What can be inferred about Newham and Luden's journey? A. It focused on new takes on traditions. B. It was an in-depth cultural exploration. C. It showed their interest in archaeology. D. It was mainly about visiting famous sites. 27. What's the influence of the journey on Newham? A. He improved his calligraphy. B. He understood the young better. C. He identified his future path. D. He was inspired to explore China. C In this age of online communication，it is easy to forget how recently postcards were a main way of sending images and short messages. A friend once told me that he delivers postcards by hand after he returns from a trip because they arrive more quickly that way. Yet when postcards were invented，they were revolutionary（革命性的）technology. It was 1865 when German postal official Heinrich von Stephan was the first to propose the use of what he described as an" open post-sheet" made of hard paper. One side would be kept for the recipient's address，and the other side would have just enough space for a short message. It would possibly be sent at the cheapest rate. His proposal was not accepted. Who would give up their privacy，even for convenience？ Four years later，when a similar proposal was accepted by the Austrian post office，the public answered that question. Three million postcards passed through the Austrian post within the first three months. Nations around the world quickly issued their own official postcards. The postcard's popularity baffled and even shocked the cultural elite（精英）.On one hand，it seemed very silly and highly improper to write anything personal on a postcard，where postal workers，neighbors or servants could read the message. On the other hand，if one lacked anything in large amounts to write，why did he write at all？The smaller space limited sustained thought. For true postcard fans，communicating through postcards was not just easier but also better. "Wish you were here" on a hand-colored postcard of the "moonlit" Eiffel Tower could not only give a taste of what the sender was thinking as he put pen to paper but also fire endless imagination. The recipient would imagine the rest. As telephone service spread，placing a call was faster and eventually would become cheaper. Each new form develops toward the fantasy of perfect communication. And each，in turn，becomes not really needed once it disappoints us. Perhaps we have it backward. We always seek communications that are easy and effortless，and think they will contribute to the real connection. But what is truly valuable to the recipients is the trouble we take in the connection. 28. Why are a friend's words mentioned at the beginning? A. To stress the popularity of postcards. B. To compare online apps with postcards. C. To present the friend's interest in postcards. D. To give the reason for postcards' being forgotten. 29. Why was Heinrich's "open post-sheet" refused? A. It disclosed privacy. B. It was delivered slowly. C. It was expensive to make. D. It limited other postal ways. 30. What does the underlined word "baffled" in paragraph 3 mean? A. Confused. B. Moved. C. Encouraged. D. Annoyed. 31. What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Simpler things can be more popular. B. Meaningful connection deserves efforts. C. The postcard's history is a little winding. D. Telephone is a great way of communication. D 环保意识 Scientists have developed a new method to break down plastic waste，using moisture（水分）from the air. By putting an inexpensive catalyst（催化剂）into plastics and leaving them in the air，researchers broke down 94%of the material in just four hours. The plastics turned into TPA，a valuable material which can be upcycled into more valuable materials，so the process is a step forward compared to present plastic recycling methods. "What's particularly exciting is that we achieve an exceptionally clean and safe process，"co-author Yosi Kratish said. The US is the number one plastic polluter per head，and people only recycle 5%of those plastics. Over 50%of the plastics ever made have been produced since 2000，and yearly production is projected to double by 2050.To date，only 9%of the plastics ever produced have been recycled. The remainder，with lifetimes often lasting for generations，can have serious environmental and health influence. To find a new method to break down some of this waste，the researchers put a catalyst to PET，the most common type of polyester（聚酯纤维）plastic. The researchers then heated the mixture. When the team put the material in the air，the mixture turned into TPA. When they tested the method on mixed plastics，the researchers found it had an effect only on the polyester materials. That meant they didn't have to sort the plastics beforehand. It worked on plastic bottles，T-shirts and colored plastics，breaking them down into colorless TPA. "It worked perfectly,"Kratish said. "When we added extra water, it stopped working because there was too much water. It's a fine balance. But it turns out the amount of water in air was just the right amount. "The team's next steps will be to adapt the process to industrial applications. "Our technology may significantly reduce plastic pollution, lower the environmental footprint of plastics and contribute to a circular economy where materials are reused rather than thrown away," said Naveen Malik, first author of the study. 32. What is the advantage of the new method? A. It is easier to operate. B. It needs fewer catalysts. C. It is cheaper and greener. D. It produces more materials. 33. How does the author present the plastic waste problem? A. By providing numbers. B. By giving examples. C. By making a comparison. D. By quoting an expert. 34.What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？ A. Why to conduct the research. B. What is found from the research. C. How the research is carried out. D. What to focus on in the research. 35.What does Kratish think of the influence of water in the air？ A. Disappointing. B. Challenging. C. Interesting. D. Amazing. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） What does the term" dinosaur" actually mean？What is the average life expectancy in Japan in 2024？Who was the president of the United States when Uncle Sam first got his beard？ These are not just questions from a particularly difficult public test. 36 After asking a group of volunteers these questions，they asked each of them to rate how much they cared about the answers to each question，from "low-curiosity" to "high-curiosity". And then they let the questions stay in the minds of the participants（参与者）for a while. _ 37 For one thing，the researchers assumed that when people were curious about something，they remembered the details better. They were right. The study showed that people were 20 percent more likely to remember an interesting fact. But what was perhaps more surprising was what was going on in people's brains at the point when they remembered these facts. 38 They seemed to receive a hit of dopamine（多巴胺）.Dopamine is one of our feel-good hormones and activates the part of the brain responsible for learning and forming memories. So，for the study participants，exciting their curiosity made them feel good. 39 Making full use of your curiosity is an important method for building adventure into your life. 40 It also allows us to focus longer." Being curious about everything not only makes you more creative but also enriches your life，"a famous writer wrote. A. They are three interesting questions. B. They in turn become better at receiving information. C. Curiosity doesn't simply make our lives more enjoyable. D. Feeling good is a normal thing，not something unusual. E. They are used by researchers in a pioneering experiment. F. When they had a brain examination，their brain activity was quite different. G. The researchers tried to find out what effect curiosity had on people's minds. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） Have you ever heard parents say to their kids，"How could you behave like that？What will people think？" For me, this kind of question really 41 one afternoon at the park.
