Four Top Places to Visit in British Columbia in Spring
No matter the season, British Columbia is an outdoor adventurer’s dreamland. Many cities and regions of this province offer the best way to soak up spring’s natural wonders.
Nakusp
Nestled in the Kuskaxan Valley, Nakusp is a fascinating inland, lakeside destination full of life in spring. The area is most famous for its hot springs, which include one natural mineral spring and two developed sites. Whether hiking around the waterfront or lying at the lakeside beach, there are dozens of ways to enjoy the water.
Kelowna
Not far from Nakusp is Kelowna, another lakeside town with a charming atmosphere. Dotted with wineries, Kelowna comes alive each April for BC Wine Month. In spring, besides tasting fine wines, you can also soak up the lakeside views, hike through Hardy Falls Park, or even row boats on Okanagan Lake with unique day trips.
Whistler
Located in the Coast Mountains Range, Whistler is known as both a premier skiing and snowboarding winter destination and a dreamy summer getaway. But the bear tour in spring is the coolest activity. With a dramatic mountain backdrop, you might even feel like you’re in the Swiss Alps at times.
Desolation Sound
At the tip of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound is a popular choice for sailors. Or if you want a more hands-off experience, you can join a whale-watching tour, harvest oysters and mussels, and even go swimming as summer approaches. Be sure to time your visit for early morning, when the mist lifts gently over the water and the coastline looks especially breathtaking.
1. What is the most distinctive feature of Kelowna?
A. Joyful hikes in parks. B. Pretty lakeside views.
C. Wineries across the town. D. Unique trips during the day.

Over the summer, my 9-year-old daughter Cora attended her first sleepaway camp. After five days apart, I picked her up, and we were both filled with the emotion of reunion. As we approached the familiar stretch of road, I asked her to look out the window. She peered out and let out a cry of longing, “Home. Home! HOME!”
Cora has lived at Stanford since she was 1, deeply connected to the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oaks she climbed, and the ant invasions in the campus kitchen. I once thought I was sharing Stanford with my daughter, but I later realized she was sharing it with me.
She has a good relationship with college students. She has joined their Halloween costume competitions and set up tables to sell her wares and homemade artwork. If you ever wonder about Gen Z, I can assure you that they are kind: They frequent little kids’ shops like there’s nowhere else they’ve got to be.
I, however, struggle to answer the question of where I am “from.” My parents and ancestors are Missourian, but I moved across multiple states as a child and more in adulthood. Where can I lay claim to? I’ve now lived at Stanford a collective 13 years-longer than anywhere. Can I call it mine?
When Cora cried out she was home, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. She knows no other place in this way, in the way that your body calls out for the land, in the way that the stretch of the road and the familiar trees signal to your subconscious to release and be enveloped by their welcome. Of course, none of us ever really owns the land on which we live — we are but travelers here. And yet this place grounds us, my daughter and me, in a way no other place can, and it connects us to each other, and to all of you.
4. Why was Cora excited during the drive back to Stanford?
A. She wanted to stay with her mother. B. She missed the students at Stanford.
C. She was deeply attached to Stanford. D. She didn’t enjoy her stay in the camp.
5. What is Cora’s connection to Stanford’s land?
A. She has memorable experiences there. B. She owns a small private garden there.
C. She helps maintain the local coast live oaks. D. She studies the small local wildlife regularly.
6. What can we learn about the author?
A. She moved frequently when young. B. She has a strong hometown identity.
C. She was born and raised in Missouri. D. She has lived in Stanford for 10 years.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Mother-Daughter Bond B. The True Meaning of Home
C. A Summer Camp Adventure D. My Life on Stanford Campus
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. B

6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“My parents and ancestors are Missourian, but I moved across multiple states as a child and more in adulthood.(我的父母和祖先都是密苏里人,但我小时候在多个州搬家,成年后搬得更多)”可知,作者小时候经常搬家。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“She peered out and let out a cry of longing, “Home. Home! HOME!”(她向外望去,发出渴望的呼喊:“家。家!家!”)”,和第五段“When Cora cried out she was home, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. She knows no other place in this way, in the way that your body calls out for the land, in the way that the stretch of the road and the familiar trees signal to your subconscious to release and be enveloped by their welcome. Of course, none of us ever really owns the land on which we live — we are but travelers here. And yet this place grounds us, my daughter and me, in a way no other place can, and it connects us to each other, and to all of you.(当科拉喊出“到家了”的时候,我内心豁然开朗。科拉属于这里。她对这个地方有着独一无二的情感:身体会本能地眷恋这片土地,熟悉的道路和树木会向潜意识发出信号,让你卸下防备,被它们的温暖所包围。当然,没有人真正拥有脚下的土地 —— 我们都只是过客。但这个地方,却以一种无可替代的方式,让我和女儿找到了归属感,也让我们彼此相连,与大家相连)”可知,文章围绕女儿科拉对斯坦福的依恋展开,通过女儿喊出“家”的瞬间,引发作者对“家”的思考——家不是拥有土地,而是能让人扎根、产生情感联结的地方,核心是探讨“家”的真正含义。B项“家的真正含义”能概括本文主旨,适合作标题。故选B项。

Plants produce chemicals called alkaloids (生物碱) to protect themselves from threats. People rely on alkaloids for pain relief and other medical treatments. Scientists want to better understand how plants create alkaloids so they can develop medicines faster, at lower cost, and with less harm to the environment.
Researchers from the University of York focused on Flueggea suffruticosa, a plant that produces securinine — a powerful type of alkaloid. They uncovered that the key gene responsible for making securinine is similar to genes typically found in bacteria rather than in plants. This finding suggests that plants may have adopted an unusual evolutionary strategy. Instead of relying only on traditional plant chemistry, they appear to reuse molecular (分子的) tools commonly seen in microbes (微生物) to build defensive chemicals.
Dr. Benjamin Lichman, the lead researcher, explained why the discovery stood out. “Plants and bacteria are really different forms of life, and so it was a surprise to see that this significant plant chemical was being driven from a bacterial-like gene. We believe plants ‘recycle’ biological tools that are more commonly found in microbes, when they can be useful to them.” Once the researchers recognized this new chemical pathway, they began finding similar genes hidden within the DNA of many other plants. These plant genes could be used to produce valuable chemicals in laboratory settings, which would reduce the need to harvest rare plants.
Dr. Lichman noted that alkaloids could be poisonous, so they have to be highly controlled and often modified when used in medicines. He emphasized, “Understanding the process of creating alkaloids can help us develop new methods for producing them in the lab or removing them to make some plants less poisonous. Now that we know how to look for this chemical production, we have new methods to explore for the production and discovery of safe medications.”
8. What is a finding of the researchers about the gene producing securinine?
A. It evolves in a regular pattern. B. It is more like bacterial genes.
C. It defends plants from bacteria. D. It exists widely in common plants.
9. What can we infer from the discovery in paragraph 3?
A. Rare plants contains more alkaloids.
B. Plants produce chemicals from microbes.
C. Bacterial-like genes may exist in many plants.
D. Biological tools are unique to certain microbes.
10. What does the author try to explain by quoting Lichman in the last paragraph?
A. The practical value of the research.
B. The process of alkaloid production.
C. The challenges of lab-made chemicals.
D. The complexity of medical exploration.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A popular science magazine. B. A guide on plant identification.
C. A textbook for medical students. D. A research paper on microbiology.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They uncovered that the key gene responsible for making securinine is similar to genes typically found in bacteria rather than in plants.(他们发现,负责制造securinine的关键基因与通常在细菌中发现的基因相似,而不是在植物中发现的基因。)”可知,研究人员发现产生securinine的基因更像细菌基因。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Once the researchers recognized this new chemical pathway, they began finding similar genes hidden within the DNA of many other plants.(一旦研究人员认识到这种新的化学途径,他们就开始在许多其他植物的DNA中发现类似的基因。)”可知,类细菌基因可能存在于许多植物中。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Understanding the process of creating alkaloids can help us develop new methods for producing them in the lab or removing them to make some plants less poisonous. Now that we know how to look for this chemical production, we have new methods to explore for the production and discovery of safe medications.(了解生物碱的生成过程可以帮助我们开发在实验室生产生物碱的新方法,或者去除生物碱以降低某些植物的毒性。既然我们知道如何寻找这种化学物质的生产,我们就有新的方法来探索安全药物的生产和发现。)”可知,作者在最后一段引用Lichman的话试图解释研究的实用价值。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章主要讲述了科学家对植物产生生物碱的研究,以白饭树这种能产生强效生物碱securinine的植物为例,发现产生该生物碱的关键基因与细菌基因相似,还指出这一发现对在实验室生产有价值化学物质和开发安全药物的意义,文章内容通俗易懂,符合流行科学杂志的特点,所以这篇文章可能摘自一本流行科学杂志。故选A。

“Memory editing” sounds dark, bringing to mind threatening visions of erased histories or implanted lies. But in the lab, the reality is gentler and far more hopeful. The discovery of the ability to edit memory itself is teaching us how to heal the brain from within, including how to weaken wounding recollections, strengthen declining ones and rebalance emotions our memories carry.
Over the past decade, this work has revealed three principles. First, memories are malleable (可塑的) when being stored, recalled and restored. Second, they are distributed across the brain rather than in one region. Third, they can be artificially imprinted into the brain. Each principle reframes what “memory editing” really means.
When we form a memory, brain cells fire together and strengthen connections. That process can be enhanced or weakened with different patterns of stimulation. Drugs, hormones or even a bit of sugar can enhance the brain’s ability to stabilise new experiences. The same idea works in reverse. Overstimulate memory pathways, and a memory’s strength declines; block the molecules (分子) that strengthen connections, and it weakens more.
Because memories are spread across the brain, they are also remarkably resilient. Damage to one region rarely deletes an entire experience. Instead, the brain can reroute access through alternate pathways and call upon multiple “drafts” of the memory. This backup system offers hope for treating Alzheimer’s: if we can strengthen undamaged routes to a memory, we may repair pieces of identity once thought lost. Memory editing, then, isn’t about rewriting who we are — it is about giving the brain new paths back to itself.
While the idea raises ethical concerns as every major medical advance once did, the goal of our work is to reduce suffering and thereby improve our collective well-being: to help an ex-soldier loosen his hold on a flashback or someone with Alzheimer’s hold on to loved ones’ names.
Learning to reshape memory responsibly helps us heal, and the brain already edits memories every time we revisit them. Science today is simply learning the rules.
12. What can we learn about memory editing from Paragraph 1?
A. It erases unwanted histories and lies. B. It offers potential for brain healing.
C. It facilitates painful recollection. D. It controls emotional memories.
13. What can enhance a memory’s strength?
A. Blocking the molecules that stabilise memories. B. Reducing the stimulation to brain regions.
C. Reinforcing the links between brain cells. D. Shortening the time of brain cells firing.
14. The underlined word “resilient” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “______”.
A. hard to awaken B. limited in function C. flexible in structure D. not easily destroyed
15. What is the author’s attitude towards memory editing research?
A. Unconcerned. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。说明了记忆编辑并非黑暗操控,而是可治愈大脑的科学,其三大原理为治疗阿尔茨海默病等提供希望,虽有伦理争议但研究价值积极。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The discovery of the ability to edit memory itself is teaching us how to heal the brain from within, including how to weaken wounding recollections, strengthen declining ones and rebalance emotions our memories carry.(对记忆编辑能力的发现正在教会我们如何从内部修复大脑,包括如何淡化创伤性的记忆、强化衰退的记忆以及重新平衡记忆所承载的情绪)”可知,记忆编辑为大脑的修复提供了可能性。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“When we form a memory, brain cells fire together and strengthen connections. That process can be enhanced or weakened with different patterns of stimulation.(当我们形成记忆时,大脑细胞会协同工作并加强彼此之间的联系。这个过程可以通过不同的刺激模式来增强或削弱)”可知,加强脑细胞之间的联系能够增强记忆的强度。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“Damage to one region rarely deletes an entire experience. Instead, the brain can reroute access through alternate pathways and call upon multiple “drafts” of the memory.(一个区域受损通常不会导致整个记忆的丧失。相反,大脑能够通过其他路径重新建立连接,并调用记忆的多个“备份”版本)”可知,划线词后解释道:大脑单个区域受损很少会彻底删除一整个记忆,大脑可以通过替代路径重新获取记忆,由此可知记忆因为分布在大脑各处,不容易被破坏。故划线词意思是“不易受损”。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“While the idea raises ethical concerns as every major medical advance once did, the goal of our work is to reduce suffering and thereby improve our collective well-being: to help an ex-soldier loosen his hold on a flashback or someone with Alzheimer’s hold on to loved ones’ names.(尽管这一想法与以往每一次重大医学进步所引发的伦理问题一样,都存在一定的道德争议,但我们的研究目的却是为了减轻痛苦,从而提升我们的整体福祉:帮助一位退伍军人摆脱闪回的困扰,或者帮助患有阿尔茨海默病的人记住亲人的名字)”可知,作者对记忆编辑研究是支持态度。故选D。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Vacation at last!” Meg said excitedly, coming home to find Jo lying on the sofa. “What will you do with your vacation?” Meg asked. “Sit in the apple tree and read!” Jo replied. “I’ll stay in bed late and do nothing,” Meg said.
Then they begged their mother, Mrs. March, to allow them to spend a whole week doing whatever they wanted — and she agreed with a gentle smile, saying they could try this experiment for a week.
The next morning, Meg got up at ten o’clock and ate breakfast alone. Jo read in the apple tree throughout the afternoon. That evening, they assured their mother that the experiment was going well. She smiled, said nothing, and did her work, keeping their home pleasant and running smoothly.
But as the days dragged on, the girls began to feel the impact. Meg became bored and started carelessly cutting and spoiling her dresses, trying to make them more fashionable. Jo read until her eyes ached and she was sick of books.
On Saturday morning, the girls woke up to find no breakfast and no sign of their mother. Meg hurried upstairs and soon came back, relieved yet slightly ashamed, telling her sister their mother was just exhausted, and would rest for the day. They would have to take care of themselves and handle all the housework and meals.
They made her a badly cooked breakfast, but she thanked them warmly anyway. Jo made lunch: she boiled the vegetables for too long, burnt the bread, and even put salt on the strawberries instead of sugar. Meg and Jo were then busy for the whole afternoon, tidying, cleaning, and doing groceries in the town.
注意:

The next morning, the two girls got up with the first light.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
In the evening, Meg and Jo sat on the sofa, sighed and felt regretful. They talked about how silly they had been to waste the vacation doing nothing but idling away time. They realized their mother’s daily work was far from easy — keeping the house tidy and preparing meals took so much effort. Jo thought back to the burnt bread and the salted strawberries, and her face flushed with embarrassment. Jo apologized for being lazy, and Meg felt ashamed of spoiling her dresses. They made a promise to take good care of their mother and never be lazy again.
The next morning, the two girls got up with the first light. They quietly prepared a simple but delicious breakfast, cleaned the house carefully and watered the flowers. They even went to the garden to pick some fresh flowers to decorate the dining table. When Mrs. March woke up, she was surprised and moved. The girls told her they had learned their lesson. From then on, they no longer wasted time, but helped with housework and spent their vacation meaningfully.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Meg和Jo姐妹俩恳求母亲允许她们假期随心所欲,却因无所事事感到无聊,在母亲疲惫休息、两人被迫承担家务屡屡出错后,幡然醒悟,主动悔改并学会体谅母亲的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句“晚上,Meg和Jo坐在沙发上,叹了口气,心里充满了后悔。”可知,接下来可描写姐妹俩倾诉内心的愧疚,反思自己浪费假期、忽视母亲辛劳的行为,回忆这几天的懒散与过错,达成悔改的共识。
② 由第二段首句“第二天早上,两个女孩天一亮就起床了。”可知,接下来可描写姐妹俩用实际行动弥补过错,主动承担家务、精心照顾母亲,用行动证明改变,最终得到母亲的认可,也收获了成长。
2. 续写线索:倾诉愧疚、反思过错——达成悔改共识、承诺改变——早起主动做家务、照顾母亲——母亲感动认可——姐妹俩收获成长、学会体谅

Four Top Places to Visit in British Columbia in Spring
No matter the season, British Columbia is an outdoor adventurer’s dreamland. Many cities and regions of this province offer the best way to soak up spring’s natural wonders.
Nakusp
Nestled in the Kuskaxan Valley, Nakusp is a fascinating inland, lakeside destination full of life in spring. The area is most famous for its hot springs, which include one natural mineral spring and two developed sites. Whether hiking around the waterfront or lying at the lakeside beach, there are dozens of ways to enjoy the water.
Kelowna
Not far from Nakusp is Kelowna, another lakeside town with a charming atmosphere. Dotted with wineries, Kelowna comes alive each April for BC Wine Month. In spring, besides tasting fine wines, you can also soak up the lakeside views, hike through Hardy Falls Park, or even row boats on Okanagan Lake with unique day trips.
Whistler
Located in the Coast Mountains Range, Whistler is known as both a premier skiing and snowboarding winter destination and a dreamy summer getaway. But the bear tour in spring is the coolest activity. With a dramatic mountain backdrop, you might even feel like you’re in the Swiss Alps at times.
Desolation Sound
At the tip of British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast, Desolation Sound is a popular choice for sailors. Or if you want a more hands-off experience, you can join a whale-watching tour, harvest oysters and mussels, and even go swimming as summer approaches. Be sure to time your visit for early morning, when the mist lifts gently over the water and the coastline looks especially breathtaking.
1. What is the most distinctive feature of Kelowna?
A. Joyful hikes in parks. B. Pretty lakeside views.
C. Wineries across the town. D. Unique trips during the day.

C. Enjoy the mist lifting over the water. D. Visit in early morning for great views.
B
Over the summer, my 9-year-old daughter Cora attended her first sleepaway camp. After five days apart, I picked her up, and we were both filled with the emotion of reunion. As we approached the familiar stretch of road, I asked her to look out the window. She peered out and let out a cry of longing, “Home. Home! HOME!”
Cora has lived at Stanford since she was 1 deeply connected to the land and its inhabitants: the coast live oaks she climbed, and the ant invasions in the campus kitchen. I once thought I was sharing Stanford with my daughter, but I later realized she was sharing it with me.
She has a good relationship with college students. She has joined their Halloween costume competitions and set up tables to sell her wares and homemade artwork. If you ever wonder about Gen Z, I can assure you that they are kind: They frequent little kids’ shops like there’s nowhere else they’ve got to be.
I, however, struggle to answer the question of where I am “from.” My parents and ancestors are Missourian, but I moved across multiple states as a child and more in adulthood. Where can I lay claim to? I’ve now lived at Stanford a collective 13 years-longer than anywhere. Can I call it mine?
When Cora cried out she was home, I was filled with a realization. Cora is from here. She knows no other place in this way, in the way that your body calls out for the land, in the way that the stretch of the road and the familiar trees signal to your subconscious to release and be enveloped by their welcome. Of course, none of us ever really owns the land on which we live — we are but travelers here. And yet this place grounds us, my daughter and me, in a way no other place can, and it connects us to each other, and to all of you.
4. Why was Cora excited during the drive back to Stanford?
A. She wanted to stay with her mother. B. She missed the students at Stanford.
C. She was deeply attached to Stanford. D. She didn’t enjoy her stay in the camp.
5. What is Cora’s connection to Stanford’s land?
A. She has memorable experiences there. B. She owns a small private garden there.
C. She helps maintain the local coast live oaks. D. She studies the small local wildlife regularly.
6. What can we learn about the author?
A. She moved frequently when young. B. She has a strong hometown identity.
C. She was born and raised in Missouri. D. She has lived in Stanford for 10 years.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Mother-Daughter Bond B. The True Meaning of Home
C. A Summer Camp Adventure D. My Life on Stanford Campus
C
Plants produce chemicals called alkaloids (生物碱) to protect themselves from threats. People rely on alkaloids for pain relief and other medical treatments. Scientists want to better understand how plants create alkaloids so they can develop medicines faster, at lower cost, and with less harm to the environment.
Researchers from the University of York focused on Flueggea suffruticosa, a plant that produces securinine — a powerful type of alkaloid. They uncovered that the key gene responsible for making securinine is similar to genes typically found in bacteria rather than in plants. This finding suggests that plants may have adopted an unusual evolutionary strategy. Instead of relying only on traditional plant chemistry, they appear to reuse molecular (分子的) tools commonly seen in microbes (微生物) to build defensive chemicals.
Dr. Benjamin Lichman, the lead researcher, explained why the discovery stood out. “Plants and bacteria are really different forms of life, and so it was a surprise to see that this significant plant chemical was being driven from a bacterial-like gene. We believe plants ‘recycle’ biological tools that are more commonly found in microbes, when they can be useful to them.” Once the researchers recognized this new chemical pathway, they began finding similar genes hidden within the DNA of many other plants. These plant genes could be used to produce valuable chemicals in laboratory settings, which would reduce the need to harvest rare plants.
Dr. Lichman noted that alkaloids could be poisonous, so they have to be highly controlled and often modified when used in medicines. He emphasized, “Understanding the process of creating alkaloids can help us develop new methods for producing them in the lab or removing them to make some plants less poisonous. Now that we know how to look for this chemical production, we have new methods to explore for the production and discovery of safe medications.”
8. What is a finding of the researchers about the gene producing securinine?
A. It evolves in a regular pattern. B. It is more like bacterial genes.
C. It defends plants from bacteria. D. It exists widely in common plants.
9. What can we infer from the discovery in paragraph 3?
A Rare plants contains more alkaloids.
B. Plants produce chemicals from microbes.
C. Bacterial-like genes may exist in many plants.
D. Biological tools are unique to certain microbes.
10. What does the author try to explain by quoting Lichman in the last paragraph?
A. The practical value of the research.
B. The process of alkaloid production.
C. The challenges of lab-made chemicals.
D. The complexity of medical exploration.
11. Where is this text probably taken from?
A. A popular science magazine. B. A guide on plant identification.
C. A textbook for medical students. D. A research paper on microbiology.
D
“Memory editing” sounds dark, bringing to mind threatening visions of erased histories or implanted lies. But in the lab, the reality is gentler and far more hopeful. The discovery of the ability to edit memory itself is teaching us how to heal the brain from within, including how to weaken wounding recollections, strengthen declining ones and rebalance emotions our memories carry.
Over the past decade, this work has revealed three principles. First, memories are malleable (可塑的) when being stored, recalled and restored. Second, they are distributed across the brain rather than in one region. Third, they can be artificially imprinted into the brain. Each principle reframes what “memory editing” really means.
When we form a memory, brain cells fire together and strengthen connections. That process can be enhanced or weakened with different patterns of stimulation. Drugs, hormones or even a bit of sugar can enhance the brain’s ability to stabilise new experiences. The same idea works in reverse. Overstimulate memory pathways, and a memory’s strength declines; block the molecules (分子) that strengthen connections, and it weakens more.
Because memories are spread across the brain, they are also remarkably resilient. Damage to one region rarely deletes an entire experience. Instead, the brain can reroute access through alternate pathways and call upon multiple “drafts” of the memory. This backup system offers hope for treating Alzheimer’s: if we can strengthen undamaged routes to a memory, we may repair pieces of identity once thought lost. Memory editing, then, isn’t about rewriting who we are — it is about giving the brain new paths back to itself.
While the idea raises ethical concerns as every major medical advance once did, the goal of our work is to reduce suffering and thereby improve our collective well-being: to help an ex-soldier loosen his hold on a flashback or someone with Alzheimer’s hold on to loved ones’ names.
Learning to reshape memory responsibly helps us heal, and the brain already edits memories every time we revisit them. Science today is simply learning the rules.
12. What can we learn about memory editing from Paragraph 1?
A It erases unwanted histories and lies. B. It offers potential for brain healing.
C. It facilitates painful recollection. D. It controls emotional memories.
13. What can enhance a memory’s strength?
A. Blocking the molecules that stabilise memories. B. Reducing the stimulation to brain regions.
C. Reinforcing the links between brain cells. D. Shortening the time of brain cells firing.
14 The underlined word “resilient” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “______”.
A. hard to awaken B. limited in function C. flexible in structure D. not easily destroyed
15. What is the author’s attitude towards memory editing research?
A. Unconcerned. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Favorable.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Vacation at last!” Meg said excitedly, coming home to find Jo lying on the sofa. “What will you do with your vacation?” Meg asked. “Sit in the apple tree and read!” Jo replied. “I’ll stay in bed late and do nothing,” Meg said.
Then they begged their mother, Mrs. March, to allow them to spend a whole week doing whatever they wanted — and she agreed with a gentle smile, saying they could try this experiment for a week.
The next morning, Meg got up at ten o’clock and ate breakfast alone. Jo read in the apple tree throughout the afternoon. That evening, they assured their mother that the experiment was going well. She smiled, said nothing, and did her work, keeping their home pleasant and running smoothly.
But as the days dragged on, the girls began to feel the impact. Meg became bored and started carelessly cutting and spoiling her dresses, trying to make them more fashionable. Jo read until her eyes ached and she was sick of books.
On Saturday morning, the girls woke up to find no breakfast and no sign of their mother. Meg hurried upstairs and soon came back, relieved yet slightly ashamed, telling her sister their mother was just exhausted, and would rest for the day. They would have to take care of themselves and handle all the housework and meals.
They made her a badly cooked breakfast, but she thanked them warmly anyway. Jo made lunch: she boiled the vegetables for too long, burnt the bread, and even put salt on the strawberries instead of sugar. Meg and Jo were then busy for the whole afternoon, tidying, cleaning, and doing groceries in the town.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In the evening, Meg and Jo sat on the sofa, sighed and felt regretful.
