Recently, more and more people think of DeepSeek as ________ useful tool for answering questions and completing tasks. A. a B. an C. the 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：最近，越来越多的人认为DeepSeek是一个用于回答问题和完成任务的有用工具。 a一个，泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词前；an一个，泛指，用于元音音素开头的单词前；the这/那，特指。根据“think of DeepSeek as ... useful tool”可知，此处表示泛指“一个有用的工具”。useful发音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。 2. Many people find ________ convenient to learn English on the internet. A. that B. this C. it 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：许多人发现网上学习英语很方便。 that那个；this这个；it它。根据固定句型“find it+adj.+to do sth.（发现做某事是……的）”可知，此处需要it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式，it符合语法和语境。 3. We can finish the work ________ a week. No need to worry. A. without B. within C. beyond 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我们可以在一周之内完成这项工作。不用担心。 without没有；within在……之内；beyond超过。根据“No need to worry.”可知，此处表示能在规定时间内完成，让人放心，因此用within表示“在……之内”。故选within。 4. To save money in the bank, you should open a bank ________ first. A. account B. app C. website 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：为了把钱存入银行，你应该先开一个银行账户。 account账户；app应用程序；website网站。根据“To save money in the bank”可知，在银行存钱需要先开立账户，固定搭配bank account。 5. Mike is never careful with his words. He always says ________ comes into his head. A. however B. whatever C. whenever 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：迈克说话从不谨慎。他总是随口说出脑海中浮现的任何想法。 however无论如何；whatever无论什么；whenever无论何时。根据“He always says...comes into his head.”可知，空缺处在从句中作主语，指代说话的内容，意为“无论什么”，whatever符合语境。 6. Don’t ________ a person by what he says, but by what he does. A. hide B. hit C. judge 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：不要根据一个人的言语来评判他，而要根据他的行为来评判他。 hide隐藏；hit击打；judge判断。根据句意 “不要根据他说的话，而要根据他做的事来评判他”，应填judge。 7. When we see someone ________, we should try our best to help them. A. in danger B. in public C. in seconds 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我们看到有人处于危险中时，我们应该尽力帮助他们。 in danger处于危险中；in public公开地；in seconds立刻。根据后半句“我们应该尽力帮助他们”可知，前句应表示有人处于需要帮助的处境。in danger符合语境。 8. Of all the students, Mike writes ________. A. more carefully B. most careful C. most carefully 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：在所有学生中，迈克写得最仔细。 修饰动词writes需用副词形式，排除形容词；根据范围“Of all the students”可知应用最高级，排除比较级。故选C。 9. Roy made several kites, but ________ of them could fly high in the sky. A. all B. none C. either 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：罗伊做了几个风筝，但是没有一个能飞上高空。 all都，全部，强调三者或三者以上；none没有一个，表示否定，强调三者或三者以上；either两者之一，强调两者中的任何一个。“several kites”表明风筝数量在三个及以上；“but”表明后面的分句表示否定含义，即没有一个风筝能飞上高空，none符合。 10. —Can we go for a picnic this weekend? —Sure. If it ________ tomorrow, we can go to the park. A. won’t rain B. isn’t rain C. doesn’t rain 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——这个周末我们可以去野餐吗？——当然可以。如果明天不下雨，我们就可以去公园。 “if”引导的条件状语从句，主句“we can go to the park”含有情态动词can，从句应用一般现在时，主语“it”是第三人称单数，谓语动词用doesn’t rain。 11. I was reading a book ________ Michael knocked on the door. A. when B. while C. as soon as 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我正在看书，这时迈克尔敲了门。 when当……时候；while当……时候；as soon as一……就……。根据“I was reading a book”是过去进行时，表示过去正在进行的动作；“Michael knocked on the door”是一般过去时，表示过去发生的短暂动作。固定句型“be doing sth. when… did sth.”意为“正在做某事，这时突然……”。while引导的从句通常用进行时，as soon as表示动作紧接着发生，不符合语境。所以选A。 12. My car ________ on the way to school yesterday, so I was late. A. broke down B. broke out C. broke into 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：我的车昨天在去学校的路上出故障了，所以我迟到了。 broke down出故障；broke out爆发；broke into闯入。根据“so I was late”可知，车在路上发生了故障导致迟到。应填broke down。 13. The ________ change in weather made many students get a cold yesterday. A. soft B. sudden C. painful 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：天气的突然变化使得许多学生昨天感冒了。 soft柔软的；sudden突然的；painful疼痛的。根据“made many students get a cold yesterday”可知，天气的突然变化容易使人感冒，sudden符合语境。故选sudden。 14. Many people lost their homes in the natural ________ last year. A. disease B. distance C. disaster 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：去年许多人在自然灾害中失去了家园。 disease疾病；distance距离；disaster灾害。根据“lost their homes”可知人们失去家园，结合“natural”可知，是指自然灾害，natural disaster为固定搭配，意为“自然灾害”。 15. I thought the movie would be boring, but it actually ________ to be very interesting. A. carried out B. turned out C. looked out 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：我以为这部电影会很无聊，但结果它实际上非常有趣。 carried out执行；turned out结果是；looked out小心。根据句中的转折连词but可知，实际情况与预想相反，“turn out to be”是固定搭配，表示“结果是，证明是”，符合语境。 Ⅲ．完形填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 In an April 2025 interview, Tsinghua student Pang Zhongwang talked about his dreams excitedly.

When I was in middle school, I experienced a strong earthquake. When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying. I was scared and even thought of the end of the world. When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground. We saw that the whole school was in a mess. Teachers tried to find all the students and make sure everyone was safe. As we stood on the playground, we could still feel the aftershocks. After making sure it was safe, teachers called our parents to take us home. My house suffered some damage (损坏). The bookcases fell onto the floor and some things were broken. But I felt happy that we were all safe. In the following days, we learned that the earthquake caused a lot of damage to the city. Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family. I was sad to hear that. Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now. We never know when they will happen, but we can find ways to protect ourselves and our family. 31. Where was George when the ground started shaking? A. At home. B. On the playground. C.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者乔治在中学时经历的一次强烈地震，包括地震发生时的场景、地震后的状况以及作者从这次经历中获得的感悟。 【31题详解】 第一段提到：“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving.” 这表明当地面开始震动时，乔治正在教室里认真听老师讲课。 【32题详解】 第四段提到：“Many buildings collapsed and lots of people lost their homes and family.” 结合前文描述地震造成很多破坏，以及后文很多人失去家园和家人，可推测出“collapsed”意思是“倒塌”，与“Fell down”意思相符。 【33题详解】 第二段提到：“When the shaking stopped, the teacher quickly took us out of the classroom to the playground.” 结合前文第一段“When I was listening to the teacher carefully, suddenly I felt the ground shaking and everything started moving. Everyone in the classroom was shouting and crying.”以及第三段“My house suffered some damage (损坏).”可知，先是乔治认真听老师讲课，然后同学们开始喊叫哭泣，接着老师带学生去操场，最后乔治看到房子受损。所以顺序是③②④①。 【34题详解】 第一段提到：“I was scared and even thought of the end of the world.” 说明乔治一开始很害怕；第三段提到：“But I felt happy that we were all safe.” 说明看到大家都安全后他很高兴；第四段提到：“I was sad to hear that.” 说明听到很多人失去家园和家人他很伤心；最后一段提到：“I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters and I feel more hopeful about safety now.” 说明他现在对安全更有希望了。所以乔治的感情变化是scared→happy→sad→hopeful。 【35题详解】 最后一段提到：“Looking back on this experience, I know how important it is to be prepared for natural disasters.” 这表明乔治从这次事件中学到了为自然灾害做好准备的重要性。 (C) At about 6 p.m. on Saturday, a forest fire broke out in a village in Liangshan. The local government acted quickly and 689 people were sent to put out the fire. Fire groups were fighting the fire on Sunday when a sudden change of wind direction caused “a huge fireball”. 27 firefighters and 3 locals lost their lives. Most of the firefighters were in their twenties and two of them were younger than twenty. Then death touched people all over China. There is enough reason to see them as heroes. We should remember all the heroes and their spirit in fighting the fire. As the old saying goes: A nation is lost without its memories. Forest fires are common in spring. Many experts believe there are some reasons for forest fires. The first reason is weather change. Warmer and drier weather leads to dangerous fire conditions. Next, lightning is another reason. Dry grass and trees easily catch fire. Finally, hot winds add to the possibility of forest fires. However, 90% of forest fires are caused by humans, according to a report. Forest fires can burn at over 900℃ and reach heights of more than 50 meters. Forest fires can move at a speed of up to 23 kilometers an hour, burning everything——trees, homes, even people. Experts remind people to be careful during the holiday of Qingming, known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. Millions of people travel to their hometowns to remember the dead people in their family during the holiday, so the risks of fires in mountains are high. In order to keep the heart-broken lesson in mind, we should prevent fires from happening again. 36. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. All of the firefighters who lost their lives were in their twenties. B. 689 people were sent to put out the fire. C. A sudden change of wind direction led to “a huge fireball”. D. The death of the heroes touched people around China. 37. All of the following can cause forest fires except ________ in the passage. A. weather change B. lightning and hot winds C. human behavior D. Tomb-Sweeping Day 38. What does the underlined sentence mean in this passage? A. We should remember the reasons for forest fires, including the conditions from nature and humans. B. We should remember the heroes and their spirit in fighting the fire C. We should remember the number of the heroes that lost their lives in fighting the fire. D. We should remember to be careful during the holiday of Qingming, known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. 39. What are the characteristics of forest fires from the passage? A. Forest fires can burn at more than 900℃ and reach heights of over 50 meters. B. Forest fires can move at a speed of up to 23 kilometers an hour. C. Forest fires can burn everything——trees, homes, even people. D. A, B and C. 40. You can probably find this passage ________. A. in a news report B. in a fairy book C. in a storybook D. in a novel 【答案】36. A 37. D 38. B 39. D 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述凉山突发森林火灾，救援过程中多名消防员与当地群众不幸遇难，举国悲痛，他们都是值得铭记的英雄。文章接着分析春季森林火灾多发的自然与人为原因，介绍森林大火的巨大危害性，特别提醒清明祭祖期间山林防火风险极高，呼吁众人铭记惨痛教训，重视森林防火，杜绝火灾再次发生。 【36题详解】 第一段“Most of the firefighters were in their twenties and two of them were younger than twenty.”说明并非所有牺牲的消防员都是二十多岁，因此A项表述不正确。 【37题详解】 第二段“The first reason is weather change…Next, lightning is another reason…Finally, hot winds…90% of forest fires are caused by humans”说明天气变化、闪电、热风以及人类行为都是引起火灾的原因。清明节是火灾高发的时间段，但节日本身不是导致火灾的直接原因。 【38题详解】 第二段划线句子“A nation is lost without its memories.”结合该句前文“We should remember all the heroes and their spirit in fighting the fire.”说明这句话强调的是我们要记住英雄和他们的精神。 【39题详解】 第二段“Forest fires can burn at over 900℃ and reach heights of more than 50 meters. Forest fires can move at a speed of up to 23 kilometers an hour, burning everything-trees, homes, even people.”说明森林大火温度、高度、蔓延速度以及能烧毁一切事物。 【40题详解】 文章内容涉及具体的火灾事件报道、伤亡数据、火灾原因分析及专家建议，语言客观真实，具有新闻报道的特征，可推断属于新闻报道体裁。 (D) Time flies when you play with your smartphone. But when you start to study or work, one hour feels like a whole year. Why do we easily feel bored with studying? It all boils down to a small and hidden thing: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a kind of “pleasure chemical” in our brain. It makes people feel happy and relaxed. Our brains release it when we eat delicious food, take exercise or get some rewards. Similarly, our brains will also release dopamine when we use smartphones. A US writer named Steven Kotler said that checking phones can make dopamine increase by 400%. But why? When we spend time on social media, we never know what we will see next or who will comment on our posts. This uncertainty makes our dopamine system active. We will feel excited when we wonder if our friends reply to us. Once our expectations are met, our brains release dopamine at once. However, studying is full of hard tasks. It has no exciting uncertainty. Without such fun, we get bored with study easily. Is there any way to change this situation? Trevor Haynes from Harvard Medical School gives some advice. If we turn off phone notifications or change the screen into black and white, phone apps will become less attractive. We can also set time limits for every app to stop overusing phones. As for studying, we can check our progress daily or weekly and give ourselves small rewards. We can also learn more interesting knowledge related to our textbooks. Try to use what we have learned in real life. In this way, studying will become much more fun. 41. According to the writer, when students study, they . A. are getting happier B. feel time pass more slowly C. have more dopamine D. need to set time limit 42. What might the underlined phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2? A. 精确算出 B. 结果表明 C. 最终导致 D. 归根结底 43. In what situation do people have more dopamine? A. When their expectations are met. B. When they face less uncertainties. C. When they know what will happen next. D. When they stay in a familiar environment. 44. Which of the following might work well in making learning interesting? A. Setting time limits on everything you do. B. Reading the interesting topics instead of your textbooks. C. Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life. D. Using what you learn from textbooks to influence real life. 45. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that ． A. dopamine has nothing to do with our feelings B. studying is more interesting than playing on smartphones C. if we make studying more uncertain, it may be less boring D. apps are always more attractive than studying material 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. D 45. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，解释了为什么玩手机时时间过得快，而学习时却觉得时间难熬 —— 这与大脑分泌的多巴胺有关，并给出了让学习变得有趣的建议。 【41题详解】 根据原文第一段“But when you start to study or work, one hour feels like a whole year.”可知，学生学习时会觉得时间过得更慢。 【42题详解】 “boils down to”所在句“It all boils down to a small and hidden thing: dopamine” 意为“这一切____一个隐藏的小东西：多巴胺”，结合上下文语境，此处表达“归根结底、根本原因是”的意思。 【43题详解】 根据原文第三段“Once our expectations are met, our brains release dopamine at once.” 可知，当人们的期望被满足时，大脑会立即释放多巴胺，因此此时人们体内的多巴胺会更多。 【44题详解】 根据原文最后一段“Try to use what we have learned in real life. In this way, studying will become much more fun.”可知，将课本所学应用到现实生活中，可以让学习变得更有趣。 【45题详解】 根据原文第三段，社交媒体的“不确定性”会刺激多巴胺分泌，而学习因为缺少这种不确定性而容易让人感到无聊。由此可以推断：如果让学习过程多一些不确定性，或许能减少无聊感。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后面所给的五个选项中选出填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） (E) 阅读下面短文，从短文后面所给的五个选项中选出填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Can a computer be an artist?

However, this new technology brings many discussions. Some people love it because it is fast and cheap. ____47____ For example, they don’t need to spend weeks painting a poster by hand. On the other hand, many real artists are unhappy. ____48____ They also think that AI art doesn’t have any real human feelings. ____49____ Some people say that AI is just a new tool, like a camera. To explain this, they look back at history. When cameras were first invented, people thought traditional painting would die. ____50____ It didn’t replace painters; it just created a new way to see the world. In the future, humans and AI might work together to create even more amazing things. A. But how should we look at AI art? B. They worry that AI might “steal” their jobs. C. But instead, photography became a new form of art. D. It makes work much easier and faster for designers. E. It’s like magic for people who cannot draw or paint. 【答案】46. E 47. D 48. B 49. A 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了AI绘画工具对艺术世界的影响，以及人们对AI艺术的不同看法和讨论。 【46题详解】 空前“…and the AI will create a beautiful picture in seconds.”和空后“It opens the door of art to everyone,…”说明“对于不会画画的人来说，AI作画就像魔法一样”，选项E既承接了AI 生成图画的神奇，又引出了后文“让所有人接触艺术”的内容，逻辑连贯。 【47题详解】 空后“For example, they don’t need to spend weeks painting a poster by hand.”说明“AI使设计师的工作变得更容易、更快”，选项D符合语境。 【48题详解】 空前“…many real artists are unhappy. ”和空后“They also think that AI art doesn’t have any real human feelings.”选项B“他们担心AI 可能会‘抢走’ 他们的工作”既解释了艺术家不开心的第一个原因，和后文“没有人类情感”形成并列，逻辑一致。 【49题详解】 空后“Some people say that AI is just a new tool, like a camera.”用 “相机” 举例，说明 AI 只是新工具。选项A“但是我们应该如何看待AI艺术？”作为段落主题句引出下文，符合语境。 【50题详解】 空前“…people thought traditional painting would die.”和空后“It didn’t replace painters;…”选项C“但相反，摄影成为了一种新的艺术形式。”既转折了“绘画会消失”的担忧，又和后文“创造新方式”呼应，前后衔接。 Ⅵ．情境交际 根据情景提示，用英语完成下列各题。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 51. A: ________ the flood? B: It’s terrible and dangerous. 【答案】 What do you think of 【解析】 【详解】答句是对洪水的评价和看法。因此，问句是询问对方对某事物的看法或评价，常用句型“What do you think of...?”符合语境。 52. A: Are they all right? B: ________. They hurt and bled seriously. 【答案】 No, they aren’t. 【解析】 【详解】 句意：A：他们没事吧？B：不，他们不好。他们伤得很重，流了很多血。问句是由be动词Are引导的一般现在时的一般疑问句，其否定回答为“No, 主语+aren’t.”，问句主语是they，回答主语与问句保持一致，仍用they。故填No, they aren’t。 53. A: What about booking tickets online? B: ________. It’s very convenient for us. 【答案】 Good idea./Sounds great./Sounds good./That’s a good idea. 【解析】 【详解】问句“What about doing sth.?”是常用的提建议句型，意为“做某事怎么样？”。答句后半部分“It’s very convenient for us.”表明说话人B对A的建议持赞同态度。在情景交际中，回应建议并表示赞同的标准用语是Good idea.，也可以回答Sounds great./Sounds good./That’s a good idea.等。 54. A: Thank you for your help, Lily. B: ________. 【答案】 You’re welcome/That’s all right/No problem/My pleasure 【解析】 【详解】A向Lily表达了感谢，B作为被感谢的一方，应礼貌地回应对方的感谢，表示“不客气”，常见的回应方式有：“You’re welcome.”（最常用）、“That’s all right.”（没关系）、“No problem.”（没问题）、“My pleasure.”（我的荣幸）等，均可用于礼貌地回应别人的感谢。 55. A: I think that Min Chao held in Changting on April 25, 2026 was wonderful! B: ________. The match was quite exciting. 【答案】 I agree 【解析】 【详解】根据A的观点“I think that Min Chao held in Changting on April 25, 2026 was wonderful!”和B的补充“The match was quite exciting.”可知，B需要表达赞同的观点。英语中表示同意他人观点的常用表达为“I agree (with you).”，也可使用“I think so, too.”，符合对话语境。 Ⅶ． 看图写话 56. now _____________________________________________________________________ 57. yesterday ____________________________________________________________________ 58. than _______________________________________________________________________ 59. use, music ___________________________________________________________________ 60. if, earthquake _________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. He is repairing a bike now./The boy is fixing his bike now. 57. They played chess yesterday./The boys played chess yesterday. 58. Jack runs faster than Mike. 59. He uses a computer to listen to music./The boy is using a computer to listen to music. 60. If there is an earthquake, hide under a table./You should hide under a table if an earthquake happens. 【解析】 【56题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，该句可表达为“他现在正在修自行车/这个男孩现在正在修他的自行车”。时态是现在进行时，repair a bike“修自行车”，fix his bike“修他的自行车”；主语是“He/The boy”，谓语用“is repairing a bike/is fixing his bike”，故填He is repairing a bike now./The boy is fixing his bike now. 【57题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，该句可表达为“他们昨天下棋/男孩子们昨天下棋了”。时态是一般过去时，主语为“They/The boys”，谓语为play chess“下棋”，play的过去式为played，故填They played chess yesterday./The boys played chess yesterday. 【58题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，该句可表达为“杰克比迈克跑得快”。时态是一般现在时，主语是Jack，第三人称单数，谓语需要用动三单“runs”，fast是“快”，需要用比较级形式“faster”，用“than”引出比的人对象Mike，故填Jack runs faster than Mike. 【59题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，该句可表达为“他使用电脑听音乐/这个男孩正使用电脑听音乐”。时态是一般现在时或现在进行时，主语是“He/The boy”，第三人称单数， use a computer to listen to music“使用电脑听音乐”，一般现在时需用动三单“uses”，现在进行时需要用“is using”，故填He uses a computer to listen to music./The boy is using a computer to listen to music. 【60题详解】 根据图片和提示词可知，该句可表达为“如果有地震，就躲藏在桌子下面/如果有地震发生，你应该躲藏在桌子下面”。if条件句用一般现在时，主句是祈使句或用情态动词加动词原形，an earthquake“地震”，there is an earthquake“有地震”，hide under a table“躲藏在桌子下面”；should“应该”情态动词后接动词原形，happens是三单形式（an earthquake作从句主语），故填If there is an earthquake, hide under a table./You should hide under a table if an earthquake happens.

(C) At about 6 p.m. on Saturday, a forest fire broke out in a village in Liangshan. The local government acted quickly and 689 people were sent to put out the fire. Fire groups were fighting the fire on Sunday when a sudden change of wind direction caused “a huge fireball”. 27 firefighters and 3 locals lost their lives. Most of the firefighters were in their twenties and two of them were younger than twenty. Then death touched people all over China. There is enough reason to see them as heroes. We should remember all the heroes and their spirit in fighting the fire. As the old saying goes: A nation is lost without its memories. Forest fires are common in spring. Many experts believe there are some reasons for forest fires. The first reason is weather change. Warmer and drier weather leads to dangerous fire conditions. Next, lightning is another reason. Dry grass and trees easily catch fire. Finally, hot winds add to the possibility of forest fires. However, 90% of forest fires are caused by humans, according to a report. Forest fires can burn at over 900℃ and reach heights of more than 50 meters. Forest fires can move at a speed of up to 23 kilometers an hour, burning everything——trees, homes, even people. Experts remind people to be careful during the holiday of Qingming, known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. Millions of people travel to their hometowns to remember the dead people in their family during the holiday, so the risks of fires in mountains are high. In order to keep the heart-broken lesson in mind, we should prevent fires from happening again. 36. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. All of the firefighters who lost their lives were in their twenties. B. 689 people were sent to put out the fire. C. A sudden change of wind direction led to “a huge fireball”. D. The death of the heroes touched people around China. 37. All of the following can cause forest fires except ________ in the passage. A. weather change B. lightning and hot winds C. human behavior D. Tomb-Sweeping Day 38. What does the underlined sentence mean in this passage? A. We should remember the reasons for forest fires, including the conditions from nature and humans. B. We should remember the heroes and their spirit in fighting the fire C. We should remember the number of the heroes that lost their lives in fighting the fire. D. We should remember to be careful during the holiday of Qingming, known as Tomb-Sweeping Day. 39. What are the characteristics of forest fires from the passage? A. Forest fires can burn at more than 900℃ and reach heights of over 50 meters. B. Forest fires can move at a speed of up to 23 kilometers an hour. C. Forest fires can burn everything——trees, homes, even people. D. A, B and C. 40. You can probably find this passage ________. A. in a news report B. in a fairy book C. in a storybook D. in a novel (D) Time flies when you play with your smartphone. But when you start to study or work, one hour feels like a whole year. Why do we easily feel bored with studying? It all boils down to a small and hidden thing: dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is a kind of “pleasure chemical” in our brain. It makes people feel happy and relaxed. Our brains release it when we eat delicious food, take exercise or get some rewards. Similarly, our brains will also release dopamine when we use smartphones. A US writer named Steven Kotler said that checking phones can make dopamine increase by 400%. But why? When we spend time on social media, we never know what we will see next or who will comment on our posts. This uncertainty makes our dopamine system active. We will feel excited when we wonder if our friends reply to us. Once our expectations are met, our brains release dopamine at once. However, studying is full of hard tasks. It has no exciting uncertainty. Without such fun, we get bored with study easily. Is there any way to change this situation? Trevor Haynes from Harvard Medical School gives some advice. If we turn off phone notifications or change the screen into black and white, phone apps will become less attractive. We can also set time limits for every app to stop overusing phones. As for studying, we can check our progress daily or weekly and give ourselves small rewards. We can also learn more interesting knowledge related to our textbooks. Try to use what we have learned in real life. In this way, studying will become much more fun. 41. According to the writer, when students study, they . A. are getting happier B. feel time pass more slowly C. have more dopamine D. need to set time limit 42. What might the underlined phrase “boils down to” mean in Paragraph 2? A. 精确算出 B. 结果表明 C. 最终导致 D. 归根结底 43. In what situation do people have more dopamine? A. When their expectations are met. B. When they face less uncertainties. C. When they know what will happen next. D. When they stay in a familiar environment. 44. Which of the following might work well in making learning interesting? A. Setting time limits on everything you do. B. Reading the interesting topics instead of your textbooks. C. Stopping playing and finding more interests in real life. D. Using what you learn from textbooks to influence real life. 45. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that ． A. dopamine has nothing to do with our feelings B. studying is more interesting than playing on smartphones C. if we make studying more uncertain, it may be less boring D. apps are always more attractive than studying material 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后面所给的五个选项中选出填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） (E) 阅读下面短文，从短文后面所给的五个选项中选出填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Can a computer be an artist?
