【答案】40.Previous studies found that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. 41.Because understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. 42.Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group’s efficiency. The underlined part is wrong, because side conversations won’t distract members. 43.There are other ways to improve group intelligence, such as fostering mutual respect between group members, encouraging members to value each other’s contributions, opinions and setting clear and achievable goals.

Last summer, as I got ready to move to a new city for a job, I stood in front of my crowded bookshelf. A wave of memories washed over me. Each book was a(n) 1 friend. A practical question kept echoing in my mind: “Will I ever read these again?” The thought of 2 them seemed too cold, and simply storing them seemed like a waste. I wanted the stories to live on. So I decided to find them new homes. I made a simple but detailed poster for our community board, 3 my books, with sections like “Classic Literature,” “Heartwarming Stories,” and “Young Adult Adventures,” and even added little notes about who might 4 each one.
The 5 came quickly. The first call came from a teenage girl, and her voice was full of excitement. “Do you still have Pride and Prejudice?” she asked 6 . When she arrived, her eyes scanned the piles of books and stopped at the novels. A warm smile spread across her face as she picked up the book she wanted. “Thank you so much!” she said, and 7 a handmade bookmark to me. “I made this,” she added. That small, kind gesture turned my earlier hesitation into quiet happiness. My books weren’t just being taken away; they were becoming someone else’s 8 .
Later, as I looked at my emptier shelves, I felt surprisingly light and 9 . The physical weight of the books was gone, but in its place was a deep sense of warmth. The bookmark wasn’t just a gift; it was real human 10 — a reminder that stories could spark new journeys in others. Letting go, I realized, wasn’t really an ending. It was part of a beautiful, ongoing cycle. And the best joy was becoming a small link in that chain of sharing.

Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).
It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake.
The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions.
More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity.
“The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”
24.What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction?
A.It influences brain microbiome. B.It works mainly by reducing appetite.
C.It affects both the gut and the brain. D.It effectively reduces the gut bacteria.
25.What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants?
A.They ate little food on most days. B.Their brain and gut activities changed.
C.Their calorie intake increased greatly. D.They lost over 8% of their body weight.
26.What is Wang’s statement about?
A.The choice of new research methods. B.The need to involve more researchers.
C.The possible direction for further study. D.The potential application of the findings.
27.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B.The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control
C.The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D.The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect

What do earmuffs, swim fins and Popsicles have in common? They were invented by curious, creative kids—some as young as you.
“Kids are creative thinkers with their own ideas for solving problems. Going through the invention process—identifying a challenge, designing a solution and testing to see if it works—is empowering,” said Tim Pula, an invention and innovation specialist at the Smithsonian Institution, “ For kids who are comfortable with problem-solving and risk-taking, the future is a world of possibilities,” Pula added.
The future looks bright for the Leschinsky siblings of Mahwah, New Jersey, Mark Leschinsky invented a self-disinfeeting hazmat (protective) suit for health care workers when he was 9 years old It earned him a place in the National Gallery for America’s Young Inventors in 2015. The next year he was joined by his brother, Gary, who invented an allergy-alert watch when he was 8, Doth products have received U. S. patents, protecting the boys’ rights as inventors. Because they were too young to file the applications, their dad did it for them. “I want to make a difference by helping people,” said Mark, now 15. “If there’s a problem that can be solved,I want to be involved.”
Gary, now 14, has a personal tie to his invention. “Like millions of kids, I struggle with food allergies on a daily basis,” he said. “Children with allergies often are unaware that a reaction has started,” Gary said. So he created a watch-like device with sensors that measure itching(刺痒), sweating,heart rate and other body responses. A severe attack can quickly become life-threatening. Gary’s watch has a built-in alert for a parent or guardian.
Watching her brothers has inspired 12-year-old Barbara Leschinsky. An inventor since age 7, she created a toothbrush that gives a reward when used properly. Now she’s working with Gary and Mark on a face shield that cleans itself with germ-freo air. “It’s cool that you can make something that makes others, lives easier,” said Barbara,who hopes more girls and women get involved in innovation.
28.What is the main idea of the article?
A.Kids are the best inventors.
B.Kids’ future is a world of possibilities.
C.Some inventors were very young when they made a difference.
D.Inventive New Jersey siblings prove that good ideas can come at any age.
29.Why was Gary Leschinsky interested in creating an allergy-alert device?
A.He had personal experience struggling with his own food allergies every day.
B.He wanted to help other kids determine which types of food they can eat.
C.He thought it could teach kids with food allergies how to treat themselves.
D.He believed it could reduce food allergies.
30.Why did Barbara Leschinsky decide to become an inventor?
A.Because she learned about the inventions her brothers made when they were young boys.
B.Because she was inspired by watching her older brothers come up with new inventions.
C.Because she thought she could invent a hazmat suit to protect health care workers.
D.Because she wanted to join the Smithsonian Institution as a young inventor.

A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.
A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.
However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.
Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state.
While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time.
Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.
31.What can be the relationship between social lives and human health?
A.Interactive. B.Short-term.
C.One-way. D.Irrelevant.
32.Why does the author mention CSA?
A.To offer advice on community involvement.
B.To show the negative effects of inflammation.
C.To explain how biological aging is measured.
D.To present a way to judge social conditions.
33.What do the long-term markers help the study do?
A.Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation.
B.Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging.
C.Prove social relationships ensure better health.
D.Suggest diet matters less than social ties.
34.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To make a recommendation. B.To make a call.
C.To make a conclusion. D.To make a guess.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。
Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces alike are called “microconnections”. 35 Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.
When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. 36 They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.
Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. 37 Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges.
38 They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.
In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. 39
A.They tend to slip our attention.
B.Microconnections are also two-way streets.
C.People are eager for connection with others.
D.Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.
E.Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world.
F.Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.
G.So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。
For years, psychologists have known how to measure the intelligence of individuals, but only recently have they begun to investigate the issue of group intelligence. This notion stems from the observation that some groups seem to work fantastically across tasks, even tasks that are not very similar. Early investigations suggest that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. So what is the secret to their success?
Researchers at Google have tackled this question. They collected thousands of data points on hundreds of groups and combed through them trying to find patterns. Are the members of effective groups friends outside of work? Do groups whose members have similar personalities or backgrounds work together best? They put forward many theories but found no patters to support them.
In fact, who was in the group apparently did not seem to make a difference; instead, the difference between more and less effective groups seemed to lie in the interaction among the members. In effective groups, members spoke for a roughly equal amount of time—not at every meeting or interaction, but across the course of a project. Additionally, in effective groups, members face one another directly when they speak, using energetic and enthusiastic gestures. Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a distraction, actually increased the group’s productivity. The positive behaviors uncovered in the study occur exclusively in face-to-face interaction.
One might argue that most of these findings are extremely obvious, and needless to say, good managers have probably always understood the principles. However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. The reason is that our social and professional lives are not always structured in ways that facilitate the kind of interaction that apparently underlines effective group performance.
40.What is the finding of previous studies on group intelligence?
41.Why is it important for people to understand group intelligence?
42.Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why.
▶Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group’s efficiency.
43.Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what other way(s) can we use to improve group intelligence?(In about 40 words)

Last summer, as I got ready to move to a new city for a job, I stood in front of my crowded bookshelf. A wave of memories washed over me. Each book was a(n) 1 friend. A practical question kept echoing in my mind: “Will I ever read these again?” The thought of 2 them seemed too cold, and simply storing them seemed like a waste. I wanted the stories to live on. So I decided to find them new homes. I made a simple but detailed poster for our community board, 3 my books, with sections like “Classic Literature,” “Heartwarming Stories,” and “Young Adult Adventures,” and even added little notes about who might 4 each one.
The 5 came quickly. The first call came from a teenage girl, and her voice was full of excitement. “Do you still have Pride and Prejudice?” she asked 6 . When she arrived, her eyes scanned the piles of books and stopped at the novels. A warm smile spread across her face as she picked up the book she wanted. “Thank you so much!” she said, and 7 a handmade bookmark to me. “I made this,” she added. That small, kind gesture turned my earlier hesitation into quiet happiness. My books weren’t just being taken away; they were becoming someone else’s 8 .
Later, as I looked at my emptier shelves, I felt surprisingly light and 9 . The physical weight of the books was gone, but in its place was a deep sense of warmth. The bookmark wasn’t just a gift; it was real human 10 — a reminder that stories could spark new journeys in others. Letting go, I realized, wasn’t really an ending. It was part of a beautiful, ongoing cycle. And the best joy was becoming a small link in that chain of sharing.

Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).
It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake.
The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions.
More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity.
“The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”
24.What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction?
A.It influences brain microbiome. B.It works mainly by reducing appetite.
C.It affects both the gut and the brain. D.It effectively reduces the gut bacteria.
25.What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants?
A.They ate little food on most days. B.Their brain and gut activities changed.
C.Their calorie intake increased greatly. D.They lost over 8% of their body weight.
26.What is Wang’s statement about?
A.The choice of new research methods. B.The need to involve more researchers.
C.The possible direction for further study. D.The potential application of the findings.
27.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B.The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control
C.The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D.The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect
【答案】24.C 25.B 26.C 27.B
【导语】文章主要说明了研究发现间歇热量限制可改变肥胖人群肠道与大脑状态,肠脑联系紧密。探明二者互动机制,有望为预防、改善肥胖问题提供全新解决思路与办法。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第一段“Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.(间歇性的热量限制会对肠道和大脑产生显著影响,这或许为保持健康体重提供了新的可能性)”可知,这项研究发现间歇性节食对肠道和大脑都有影响。
25.细节理解题。根据第二段“Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).(参与研究的人员不仅成功减重——平均减重7.6公斤,即体重的7.8%——而且还有证据表明,与肥胖相关的大脑区域的活动发生了变化,肠道细菌的构成也发生了改变)”可知,这项为期62天的研究对参与者大脑和肠道活动发生了变化。
26.细节理解题。根据最后一段““The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”(“接下来需要解答的问题是,在肥胖人群中(包括那些正在减肥的人),肠道微生物群与大脑之间进行信息交流的确切机制是怎样的。”中国科学院的生物医学科学家王博士说道。“哪些特定的肠道微生物群和大脑区域对于成功减肥以及保持健康体重至关重要呢?”)”可知,王的陈述关于进一步研究的可能方向。
27.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.(科学家们为应对当前的肥胖问题而努力探索,他们取得了一项重要发现:间歇性限制热量摄入会对肠道和大脑产生显著影响,这或许为保持健康体重提供了新的可能性)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现间歇热量限制可改变肥胖人群肠道与大脑状态,肠脑联系紧密。探明二者互动机制,有望为预防、改善肥胖问题提供全新解决思路与办法。可知,B选项“肠脑联系或许有助于控制体重”最符合文章标题。
C
What do earmuffs, swim fins and Popsicles have in common? They were invented by curious, creative kids—some as young as you.
“Kids are creative thinkers with their own ideas for solving problems. Going through the invention process—identifying a challenge, designing a solution and testing to see if it works—is empowering,” said Tim Pula, an invention and innovation specialist at the Smithsonian Institution, “ For kids who are comfortable with problem-solving and risk-taking, the future is a world of possibilities,” Pula added.
The future looks bright for the Leschinsky siblings of Mahwah, New Jersey, Mark Leschinsky invented a self-disinfeeting hazmat (protective) suit for health care workers when he was 9 years old It earned him a place in the National Gallery for America’s Young Inventors in 2015. The next year he was joined by his brother, Gary, who invented an allergy-alert watch when he was 8, Doth products have received U. S. patents, protecting the boys’ rights as inventors. Because they were too young to file the applications, their dad did it for them. “I want to make a difference by helping people,” said Mark, now 15. “If there’s a problem that can be solved,I want to be involved.”
Gary, now 14, has a personal tie to his invention. “Like millions of kids, I struggle with food allergies on a daily basis,” he said. “Children with allergies often are unaware that a reaction has started,” Gary said. So he created a watch-like device with sensors that measure itching(刺痒), sweating,heart rate and other body responses. A severe attack can quickly become life-threatening. Gary’s watch has a built-in alert for a parent or guardian.
Watching her brothers has inspired 12-year-old Barbara Leschinsky. An inventor since age 7, she created a toothbrush that gives a reward when used properly. Now she’s working with Gary and Mark on a face shield that cleans itself with germ-freo air. “It’s cool that you can make something that makes others, lives easier,” said Barbara,who hopes more girls and women get involved in innovation.
28.What is the main idea of the article?
A.Kids are the best inventors.
B.Kids’ future is a world of possibilities.
C.Some inventors were very young when they made a difference.
D.Inventive New Jersey siblings prove that good ideas can come at any age.
29.Why was Gary Leschinsky interested in creating an allergy-alert device?
A.He had personal experience struggling with his own food allergies every day.
B.He wanted to help other kids determine which types of food they can eat.
C.He thought it could teach kids with food allergies how to treat themselves.
D.He believed it could reduce food allergies.
30.Why did Barbara Leschinsky decide to become an inventor?
A.Because she learned about the inventions her brothers made when they were young boys.
B.Because she was inspired by watching her older brothers come up with new inventions.
C.Because she thought she could invent a hazmat suit to protect health care workers.
D.Because she wanted to join the Smithsonian Institution as a young inventor.
【答案】28.C 29.A 30.B
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章指出孩子们往往创意十足、能发明许多新奇的东西,并讲述了新泽西州的三兄妹、也是三位小发明家的事迹。
28.主旨大意题。总览全文可知,文章在一开始就引出了孩子们是富有创意、发明过不少东西的,并在下文中主要通过新泽西州三兄妹的事迹进行说明,他们年龄尚小,但他们的发明都是造福他人、意义显著的。C选项“某些发明家在做出有意义的事时年龄还很小”符合文章内容与主题,适合作为标题。故选C项。
29.细节理解题。根据第四段引述Gary的话“Like millions of kids, I struggle with food allergies on a daily basis(和数以百万计的孩子们一样,我每天都要与食物过敏作斗争)”可知,Gary发明食物过敏警报设备的原因就是源于他自己每天的食物过敏经历。故选A项。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Watching her brothers has inspired 12-year-old Barbara Leschinsky.(哥哥们的行为看在眼里,这鼓舞了12岁的Barbara Leschinsky)”可知,正是有着两个发明家哥哥带来的耳濡目染,让Barbara也决定成为一个发明家。故选B项。
D
A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.
A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.
However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.
Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state.
While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time.
Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.
31.What can be the relationship between social lives and human health?
A.Interactive. B.Short-term.
C.One-way. D.Irrelevant.
32.Why does the author mention CSA?
A.To offer advice on community involvement.
B.To show the negative effects of inflammation.
C.To explain how biological aging is measured.
D.To present a way to judge social conditions.
33.What do the long-term markers help the study do?
A.Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation.
B.Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging.
C.Prove social relationships ensure better health.
D.Suggest diet matters less than social ties.
34.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To make a recommendation. B.To make a call.
C.To make a conclusion. D.To make a guess.
【答案】31.A 32.D 33.A 34.C
【导语】文章主要探讨了社交生活与人类健康之间的关系,指出良好的社交关系对长期身心健康至关重要,并介绍了相关研究及结论。
【详解】31.推理判断题。根据第一段中“While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.(虽然具体原因仍在研究中,但越来越多的证据表明,我们的社交生活直接影响我们的生理健康)”以及第二段中“It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.(有可能是现有的健康问题导致社交关系变弱,也有可能是其他因素——比如滥用药物——同时损害健康和人际关系)”可知,社交生活和人类健康之间是相互影响的关系。
32.推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.(最近一项研究对2000多名美国中年人进行了调查,研究了一个名为“累积社会优势(CSA)”的概念。这一衡量标准结合了四个方面:社区支持、亲子关系质量、社区参与以及亲密之人的情感支持)”可知,作者提到CSA是为了呈现一种判断社会状况的方式。
33.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise.(通过关注炎症和细胞衰老等长期标志物,降低了研究结果仅仅是由于饮食或运动等生活方式选择导致的可能性)”可知,长期标志物有助于排除将生活方式作为唯一解释的可能性。
34.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.(因此,培养友谊和社区关系可能和定期锻炼和均衡营养一样对健康重要。优先考虑有意义的社交关系不仅对我们的幸福有好处,而且是对我们长期幸福的一项重要投资)”可知,最后一段再次强调了研究得出的结论,总结了社交关系对健康的重要性。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。
Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces alike are called “microconnections”. 35 Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.
When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. 36 They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.
Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. 37 Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges.
38 They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.
In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. 39
A.They tend to slip our attention.
B.Microconnections are also two-way streets.
C.People are eager for connection with others.
D.Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.
E.Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world.
F.Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.
G.So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.
【答案】35.A 36.B 37.F 38.D 39.G
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了何为微人际联结,阐述其能舒缓压力、开阔眼界、凝聚社群等诸多益处,呼吁人们主动送出善意,建立温暖的日常小联结。
【详解】35.空格后出现转折词Yet,表示前后语义相反。后文“Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.( 但它们的重要性远超我们的认知范围。)”明确指出“它们的重要性远超我们的认知”,因此前文必然是说“我们容易忽视这些微连接”。A选项“They tend to slip our attention.( 它们往往会从我们的注意力中溜走。)”与后文形成完美的转折逻辑,且“slip our attention”与后文“goes far beyond our awareness”构成同义呼应。
36.空格前“When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. (当人们与陌生人建立微小的联系时,他们大脑中的多巴胺水平会升高,而身体中的压力化学物质则会减少。其结果是,人们会感到更加愉悦。)”讲述了微连接对个人的生理和心理益处(增加多巴胺、减少压力、提升幸福感),空格后“They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.( 它们使双方获得更积极的心态和更大的放松。)”则提到“它们能让双方都获得更积极的心态和更大的放松”。这里的“both parties(双方)”是关键线索,说明微连接的好处是双向的。B选项“Microconnections are also two-way streets(.微连接也是双向道。)”恰好起到了承上启下的作用,从个人受益过渡到双方受益。
37.空格后出现因果连词Thus,表示前文是后文的原因。后文“Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world.( 因此,与他们进行短暂的接触就能带来全新的精神滋养,并拓宽您对世界的看法。)”指出“与他们的短暂接触能带来全新的精神滋养,拓宽你对世界的看法”,那么为什么陌生人能带来新的视角呢?F选项“Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.( 那些你偶然遇到的人拥有多样的人生经历。)”给出了合理的解释:正是因为经历不同,他们才能提供我们所没有的视角和体验。
38.空格位于第四段段首,是该段的主题句。后文内容“They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.( 它们建立了公众信任,这反过来又使社会群体更加紧密地联系在一起。正如著名心理学家桑德斯特伦所解释的那样:“这种社区感是我们与陌生人交谈时所获得的重要东西——就是感觉存在着这种共同的人性,感觉他人看到了我们、重视我们。”这种感觉有助于人们认识到自己是这个社区的一部分。)”从个人层面上升到了社会层面,讲述微连接如何建立公共信任、让社区联系更紧密。D选项“Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.( 短暂的交流影响的不仅仅是两个人。)”准确概括了这一转变,从个人影响过渡到社会影响,统领全段内容。
39.空格位于文章结尾,是对全文的总结和呼吁。前文“In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. (在一个人们常常感到彼此疏远的世界里,这些小小的时刻提醒着我们普通个体之间隐藏的联系。一个微小的联系可能会产生持久的成果。)”已经全面阐述了微连接的多重益处,结尾自然应该发出行动倡议。G选项“So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.( 所以下次不要犹豫,向你身边的人微笑吧。)”与文章开头提到的“陌生人的温暖微笑”相呼应,是一个自然且有力的结尾。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32分)
第一节(共4小题;第40、41题各2分,第42题3分,第43题5分,共12分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。
For years, psychologists have known how to measure the intelligence of individuals, but only recently have they begun to investigate the issue of group intelligence. This notion stems from the observation that some groups seem to work fantastically across tasks, even tasks that are not very similar. Early investigations suggest that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. So what is the secret to their success?
Researchers at Google have tackled this question. They collected thousands of data points on hundreds of groups and combed through them trying to find patterns. Are the members of effective groups friends outside of work? Do groups whose members have similar personalities or backgrounds work together best? They put forward many theories but found no patters to support them.
In fact, who was in the group apparently did not seem to make a difference; instead, the difference between more and less effective groups seemed to lie in the interaction among the members. In effective groups, members spoke for a roughly equal amount of time—not at every meeting or interaction, but across the course of a project. Additionally, in effective groups, members face one another directly when they speak, using energetic and enthusiastic gestures. Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a distraction, actually increased the group’s productivity. The positive behaviors uncovered in the study occur exclusively in face-to-face interaction.
One might argue that most of these findings are extremely obvious, and needless to say, good managers have probably always understood the principles. However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. The reason is that our social and professional lives are not always structured in ways that facilitate the kind of interaction that apparently underlines effective group performance.
40.What is the finding of previous studies on group intelligence?
41.Why is it important for people to understand group intelligence?
42.Decide which part of the following statement is wrong. Underline it and explain why.
▶Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group’s efficiency.
43.Apart from what is mentioned in the passage, what other way(s) can we use to improve group intelligence?(In about 40 words)
【答案】40.Previous studies found that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. 41.Because understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. 42.Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group’s efficiency. The underlined part is wrong, because side conversations won’t distract members. 43.There are other ways to improve group intelligence, such as fostering mutual respect between group members, encouraging members to value each other’s contributions, opinions and setting clear and achievable goals.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍关于影响群体智力的因素的研究和研究的意义。
40.考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Early investigations suggest that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it.(早期的研究表明,群体智力并不是群体中个体智力的总和)”可知,先前的研究发现,群体智力并不是群体中个体智力的总和。故答案为Previous studies found that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it.
41.考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance.(然而,了解群体智力可以帮助企业和其他组织做出必要的根本改变,以提高群体绩效)”可知,理解群体智力很重要是因为理解群体智力可以帮助企业和其他组织做出必要的根本改变,以提高群体绩效。故答案为Because understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance.
42.考查推理判断。根据第三段中“Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a distraction, actually increased the group’s productivity.(此外,在会议期间,个别成员之间的谈话非但不会分散注意力,反而提高了团队的生产力。)”可知,句中“distract members”错误,因为个别成员之间的谈话不会分散注意力。故答案为Although side conversations distract members during meetings, they can help to boost the group’s efficiency. The underlined part is wrong, because side conversations won’t distract members.
43.开放性问题。答案符合逻辑即可,注意字数。例如:可以提高团队智力的方法有很多,比如培养团队成员之间的相互尊重,鼓励成员重视彼此的贡献和意见,以及设定明确和可实现的目标。故答案为There are other ways to improve group intelligence, such as fostering mutual respect between group members, encouraging members to value each other’s contributions, opinions and setting clear and achievable goals.

Last summer, as I got ready to move to a new city for a job, I stood in front of my crowded bookshelf. A wave of memories washed over me. Each book was a(n) 1 friend. A practical question kept echoing in my mind: “Will I ever read these again?” The thought of 2 them seemed too cold, and simply storing them seemed like a waste. I wanted the stories to live on. So I decided to find them new homes. I made a simple but detailed poster for our community board, 3 my books, with sections like “Classic Literature,” “Heartwarming Stories,” and “Young Adult Adventures,” and even added little notes about who might 4 each one.
The 5 came quickly. The first call came from a teenage girl, and her voice was full of excitement. “Do you still have Pride and Prejudice?” she asked 6 . When she arrived, her eyes scanned the piles of books and stopped at the novels. A warm smile spread across her face as she picked up the book she wanted. “Thank you so much!” she said, and 7 a handmade bookmark to me. “I made this,” she added. That small, kind gesture turned my earlier hesitation into quiet happiness. My books weren’t just being taken away; they were becoming someone else’s 8 .
Later, as I looked at my emptier shelves, I felt surprisingly light and 9 . The physical weight of the books was gone, but in its place was a deep sense of warmth. The bookmark wasn’t just a gift; it was real human 10 — a reminder that stories could spark new journeys in others. Letting go, I realized, wasn’t really an ending. It was part of a beautiful, ongoing cycle. And the best joy was becoming a small link in that chain of sharing.

Scientists looking to tackle our ongoing obesity crisis have made an important discovery: Intermittent (间歇的) calorie restriction leads to significant changes both in the gut (肠道) and the brain, which may open up new options for maintaining a healthy weight.
Researchers from China studied 25 volunteers classed as obese over a period of 62 days, during which they took part in an intermittent energy restriction (IER) program, a method that involves careful control of calorie intake and eating little or no food on some days. Not only did the participants in the study lose weight — 7.6 kilograms or 7.8 percent of their body weight on average — but there was evidence of shifts in the activity of obesity-related regions of the brain, and in the makeup of gut bacteria (细菌).
It’s not clear what causes these changes, or whether the gut is influencing the brain or the brain is influencing the gut. However, we do know that the gut and the brain are closely linked, so treating certain regions of the brain could be a way to control food intake.
The changes in brain activity were in regions known to be important in the regulation of appetite and addiction — including the inferior frontal orbital gyrus. What’s more, the gut microbiome (微生物组) changes were linked to particular brain regions.
More than a billion people worldwide are estimated to have obesity, which leads to an increased risk for a host of different health issues, from cancer to heart disease. Knowing more about how our brains and guts are dependent on each other could make a huge difference in effectively preventing and reducing obesity.
“The next question to be answered is the precise mechanism by which the gut microbiome and the brain communicate in obese people, including those who are losing weight,” said Wang, a biomedical scientist from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. “What specific gut microbiome and brain regions are critical for successful weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight?”
24.What does the study find about intermittent calorie restriction?
A.It influences brain microbiome. B.It works mainly by reducing appetite.
C.It affects both the gut and the brain. D.It effectively reduces the gut bacteria.
25.What did the 62-day study reveal regarding the participants?
A.They ate little food on most days. B.Their brain and gut activities changed.
C.Their calorie intake increased greatly. D.They lost over 8% of their body weight.
26.What is Wang’s statement about?
A.The choice of new research methods. B.The need to involve more researchers.
C.The possible direction for further study. D.The potential application of the findings.
27.Which can be the best title for the text?
A.The New Discovery Will Help End Obesity B.The Gut-Brain Link May Aid Weight Control
C.The Gut-Brain Link May Reveal a Secret of Fat D.The Gut Microbiome Will Have a Hidden Effect

What do earmuffs, swim fins and Popsicles have in common? They were invented by curious, creative kids—some as young as you.
“Kids are creative thinkers with their own ideas for solving problems. Going through the invention process—identifying a challenge, designing a solution and testing to see if it works—is empowering,” said Tim Pula, an invention and innovation specialist at the Smithsonian Institution, “ For kids who are comfortable with problem-solving and risk-taking, the future is a world of possibilities,” Pula added.
The future looks bright for the Leschinsky siblings of Mahwah, New Jersey, Mark Leschinsky invented a self-disinfeeting hazmat (protective) suit for health care workers when he was 9 years old It earned him a place in the National Gallery for America’s Young Inventors in 2015. The next year he was joined by his brother, Gary, who invented an allergy-alert watch when he was 8, Doth products have received U. S. patents, protecting the boys’ rights as inventors. Because they were too young to file the applications, their dad did it for them. “I want to make a difference by helping people,” said Mark, now 15. “If there’s a problem that can be solved,I want to be involved.”
Gary, now 14, has a personal tie to his invention. “Like millions of kids, I struggle with food allergies on a daily basis,” he said. “Children with allergies often are unaware that a reaction has started,” Gary said. So he created a watch-like device with sensors that measure itching(刺痒), sweating,heart rate and other body responses. A severe attack can quickly become life-threatening. Gary’s watch has a built-in alert for a parent or guardian.
Watching her brothers has inspired 12-year-old Barbara Leschinsky. An inventor since age 7, she created a toothbrush that gives a reward when used properly. Now she’s working with Gary and Mark on a face shield that cleans itself with germ-freo air. “It’s cool that you can make something that makes others, lives easier,” said Barbara,who hopes more girls and women get involved in innovation.
28.What is the main idea of the article?
A.Kids are the best inventors.
B.Kids’ future is a world of possibilities.
C.Some inventors were very young when they made a difference.
D.Inventive New Jersey siblings prove that good ideas can come at any age.
29.Why was Gary Leschinsky interested in creating an allergy-alert device?
A.He had personal experience struggling with his own food allergies every day.
B.He wanted to help other kids determine which types of food they can eat.
C.He thought it could teach kids with food allergies how to treat themselves.
D.He believed it could reduce food allergies.
30.Why did Barbara Leschinsky decide to become an inventor?
A.Because she learned about the inventions her brothers made when they were young boys.
B.Because she was inspired by watching her older brothers come up with new inventions.
C.Because she thought she could invent a hazmat suit to protect health care workers.
D.Because she wanted to join the Smithsonian Institution as a young inventor.

A growing body of research from the past twenty years highlights that strong social relationships are crucial for our long-term physical and mental health. Obviously, chronic (慢性的) loneliness has been linked to a high risk of death. While the exact reasons remain under study, evidence increasingly suggests that our social lives directly influence our biological health.
A key challenge has been determining cause and effect. Many studies are observational, meaning they find a link but cannot prove that poor social connections cause poor health. It is possible that existing health issues lead to weaker social ties, or that other factors — like substance abuse — harm both health and relationships at the same time.
However, new research strengthens the case that strong social bonds actively protect our health. A recent study, examining over 2,000 middle-aged Americans, investigated a concept called “cumulative (累积的) social advantage (CSA)”. This measure combines four areas: support from communities, quality of parent-child relationships, community involvement, and emotional support from close ones.
Researchers compared participants’ CSA scores with their blood samples, using an advanced biological age marker. The results revealed a clear pattern: Individuals with higher social advantage tended to have slower biological aging and lower levels of inflammation (炎症). Essentially, better social connections correlated with a younger biological state.
While this study still shows correlation rather than proven causation (因果关系), it points to meaningful biological differences. By focusing on long-term markers like inflammation and cellular aging, it reduces the likelihood that the findings are merely due to lifestyle choices like diet or exercise. It suggests that strong, positive relationships may cause subtle, lasting physiological benefits — such as better immune function and stress regulation — which protect the body over time.
Therefore, nurturing friendships and community ties may be just as important for health as regular exercise and balanced nutrition. Prioritizing meaningful social connections is not only good for our happiness but can be a vital investment in our long-term well-being.
31.What can be the relationship between social lives and human health?
A.Interactive. B.Short-term.
C.One-way. D.Irrelevant.
32.Why does the author mention CSA?
A.To offer advice on community involvement.
B.To show the negative effects of inflammation.
C.To explain how biological aging is measured.
D.To present a way to judge social conditions.
33.What do the long-term markers help the study do?
A.Rule out lifestyle choices as the only explanation.
B.Confirm inflammation as a contributor to aging.
C.Prove social relationships ensure better health.
D.Suggest diet matters less than social ties.
34.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To make a recommendation. B.To make a call.
C.To make a conclusion. D.To make a guess.

根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有项为多余选项。
Have you ever experienced such moments: a warm smile from a stranger, a brief chat with someone waiting in line, or a simple wave to a neighbor you hardly know? These tiny interactions among strangers and familiar faces alike are called “microconnections”. 35 Yet their importance goes far beyond our awareness.
When people have a microconnection with a stranger, the levels of dopamine (多巴胺) in their brain increase while the body’s stress chemical decreases. The result is a greater sense of well-being. 36 They enable both parties to gain a more positive mindset and greater relaxation.
Another effect of these casual interactions lies in their influence on how you perceive reality and respond to novel ideas. 37 Thus brief contacts with them can offer brand-new spiritual enrichment and broaden your perspectives on the world. Interestingly, research shows people may actually be more open to considering opposing viewpoints when talking to strangers than to close family members, which lays a solid foundation for in-depth and original idea exchanges.
38 They build public trust, which in turn makes social communities more closely connected. As Sandstrom, a well-known psychologist, explains, “That sense of community is a huge thing we get from talking to strangers-it’s just feeling there’s this shared humanity and that we are seen by other people and valued by other people.” This feeling helps people recognize themselves as part of a community.
In a world where people often feel disconnected, these small moments remind us of the hidden bonds between ordinary individuals. A microconnection may bear lasting fruit. 39
A.They tend to slip our attention.
B.Microconnections are also two-way streets.
C.People are eager for connection with others.
D.Brief exchanges affect more than just the two individuals.
E.Such encounters bring unnoticed changes to the inner world.
F.Those who you meet by chance possess diverse life experiences.
G.So next time do not hesitate to offer a smile to a person around you.

For years, psychologists have known how to measure the intelligence of individuals, but only recently have they begun to investigate the issue of group intelligence. This notion stems from the observation that some groups seem to work fantastically across tasks, even tasks that are not very similar. Early investigations suggest that group intelligence is not the sum of the intelligence of the individuals in it. So what is the secret to their success?
Researchers at Google have tackled this question. They collected thousands of data points on hundreds of groups and combed through them trying to find patterns. Are the members of effective groups friends outside of work? Do groups whose members have similar personalities or backgrounds work together best? They put forward many theories but found no patters to support them.
In fact, who was in the group apparently did not seem to make a difference; instead, the difference between more and less effective groups seemed to lie in the interaction among the members. In effective groups, members spoke for a roughly equal amount of time—not at every meeting or interaction, but across the course of a project. Additionally, in effective groups, members face one another directly when they speak, using energetic and enthusiastic gestures. Moreover, side conversations between individual members during meetings, far from being a distraction, actually increased the group’s productivity. The positive behaviors uncovered in the study occur exclusively in face-to-face interaction.
One might argue that most of these findings are extremely obvious, and needless to say, good managers have probably always understood the principles. However, understanding group intelligence can help business and other organizations make the fundamental changes necessary to improve group performance. The reason is that our social and professional lives are not always structured in ways that facilitate the kind of interaction that apparently underlines effective group performance.
