B In today’s world, it can feel difficult to concentrate when your smartphone buzzes (嗡嗡响) every minute or two with reminders about updates, messages and much more. How can anyone get through a 500-page book when our brain is addicted to bite-sized content? Gloria Mark, professor at the University of California, has spent much of her career analysing how this affects us. She has used sensors to track attention duration on screens. When the studies started, in 2004, screen attention duration was about two-and-a-half minutes, but recently, has dropped to 47 seconds. According to Prof Mark, there were “a lot of things” that had made people more distracted. “When you switch your attention duration so rapidly, there are more errors. It takes longer to do any task and people get more stressed.” Aside from making us perform tasks less effectively, the ease with which we get distracted by one thing or another on the internet also means that we can waste time that could be spent on activities considered more worthwhile. People who have attention disorder tend to have less grey matter in brain’s parietal cortex (顶叶皮层), highlighted Nilli Lavie, professor of psychology and brain sciences at University College London. “We see greater grey matter volume in certain regions of the brain for people with a better attentional capacity,” Prof Lavie said. The good news is that while research has indicated that in today’s world we switch our attention more often than in the past, this change is not thought to have become hard-wired in our brains. “The solution is simple: first, decide to focus, then use strategies to remove distractions,” Prof Lavie said. Related to this, one strategy is to set an alarm that will go off after, for example, 20 minutes. And Prof Mark advises people to look ahead to the end of the day and to consider how they might spend time then, such as relaxing on the sofa after completing their work. “I want to feel accomplished because I’ve done my work,” she said. “That can help people stay on track.” 24．What is the main problem described in paragraph 1? A．People find it a struggle to focus. B．Bite-sized contents are addictive. C．Long passages are outdated. D．Smartphones often disturb people. 25．What can we know about the online distractions? A．They cause permanent changes to human brain. B．They have similar influences on different people. C．They increase the possibility for people to make errors. D．They offer people convenience to deal with various affairs. 26．What does Prof. Mark advise in the last paragraph? A．Set frequent alarms to take short breaks. B．Create a flexible timetable to work efficiently. C．Visualize after-work leisure time to keep daily focus. D．Seek a relaxing environment to minimize distractions. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Save Your Brain to Stay Relaxed B．Can We Reclaim Our Lost Focus? C．Why Are We Losing Concentration? D．Bite-sized Reading Ruined Our Brains C A study published in Animal Behavior reports that bull sharks (牛鲨) have friendship dynamics similar to human social groups. “Contrary to commonly held perceptions of sharks, our study shows they have relatively rich and complex social lives,” said the study author and University of Exeter behavioral ecologist Darren Croft. Sharks were historically assumed to be loners. It’s now known that they hang out in groups, but gathering together doesn't necessarily mean socializing. They could just be taking advantage of safety in numbers. The researchers used six years of observational data of 184 individually recognizable bull sharks at the Shark Reef Marine Reserve in Fiji to determine whether they formed social bonds,  defined as “joining and remaining in a group on the basis of social attraction to other individuals.” When sharks were seen swimming within one body length of each other, it was counted as an “association.” When they also interacted by parallel (平行)  swimming; leading or following; or joining or turning back from another shark, it was counted as “social interactions”. Scientists identified males and females by checking for male reproductive organs. Tools were used to estimate size, while age was calculated from existing data. According to the authors, the sharks formed groups not just because they were in the same place at the same time,  but because they actively chose to interact with certain individuals. The results revealed that sex and age influenced how the sharks associated with each other. Both males and females preferred to socialize with females.  Adult sharks were responsible for most of the social behavior, and they preferentially associated with other adults. Subadults (亚成体) were much less social within their age class and preferred hanging around with adults. “As humans, we build a range of social relationships — from loose ties to our best friends,  but we also actively avoid certain people — and  these bull sharks are doing similar things,”  explained a lead author Natasha D．Marosi. As for the benefits of bull shark friendships, they could be sharing knowledge, gaining protection from bigger individuals, or looking for future mates. 28．How does Darren Croft view the traditional understanding of sharks? A．It is based on solid and sufficient evidence. B．It correctly identifies them as lonely hunters. C．It is largely inaccurate on their social behavior. D．It overestimates the complexity of their social lives. 29．According to paragraph 3, which behavior is counted as a “social interaction”? A．Swimming in close physical distance. B．Joining a group based on time and space overlap. C．Gathering together to find resources in large groups. D．Engaging in parallel swimming or leading and following. 30．What do the results of the study suggest? A．Bull sharks’ social behavior is purposeful. B．Subadult bull sharks are more social than adults. C．Male bull sharks prefer to socialize with males. D．Age affects bull shark social bonds most. 31．What is mainly talked about in paragraph 5? A．How sharks swim in groups. B．What affects shark social behavior. C．How researchers define social bonds. D．Why female sharks are more popular. D Left-handed people, making up only about one in ten of the population, often face challenges in a world designed for right-handers. However, they are over-represented in certain one-on-one sports like fencing (击剑) and table tennis. The conventional explanation for this is that the scarcity of lefties means right-handed athletes lack familiarity with them as opponents. Nevertheless, Dr. Tim Simon, a researcher in Italy, suspected that left-handers might have a natural-born advantage in these sports. To test his idea, Dr. Simon studied the performance of top athletes in badminton, table tennis, tennis and three types of fencing for over a decade. He reasoned that if the advantage was only due to unfamiliarity, it would decrease at the highest levels of competition, where players would be wise to lefties’ tricks. However, if it was an inborn factor, the advantage might actually increase. His research revealed an interesting pattern. In foil (花剑) and épée fencing (重剑), and table tennis, there was indeed an increase in left-handedness at the summit. For example, 18% of the top 200 male epee fencers and 23% of the top male foil fencers were lefties, but that went up to 28% and 31% respectively when only the top 100 were considered. The other three sports, however, did not show this effect. Dr. Simon suggests this difference comes from how left-handed people’s brains work. He believes their brains are especially good at processing visual, spatial and timing information and generating quick responses, which is crucial for those rapid-action sports such as foil and épée fencing. Table tennis requires similar skillfulness. Sabre fencing (佩剑), by contrast, involves larger swinging movements similar to those employed in tennis and badminton. Even tiny differences in brain activity can make a huge impact at the highest level, where “being a split second faster than an opponent separates victory from defeat”. This research helps us understand that individual differences, even minute ones, can lead to unique strengths and successes. 32．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “scarcity” in paragraph 2? A．Equality. B．Innocence. C．Rarity. D．Imbalance. 33．What did Simon’s experiment seek to distinguish between? A．Different athletes’ tricks. B．Two sources of advantage. C．Top players’ performance. D．The impacts of unfamiliarity. 34．What do the statistics in paragraph 3 imply? A．Left-handers favor specific fencing styles. B．A higher proportion of athletic left-handers. C．The variations among different fencing events. D．Lefties have an edge in certain top-level sports. 35．According to Dr. Simon, what accounts for lefties’ sport-specific excellence? A．Their unique brain structure. B．Their superior technical skills. C．Their swifter brain processing. D．Their special movement patterns. Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet for medical advice when they notice signs of illness. This is understandable as seeing a doctor can be time-consuming and costly unless it’s a serious health concern. 36 Often, the answer is: not really. Medicine is complex. 37 For instance, the cause of a cough in a healthy 25-year-old might be different from that in a 65-year-old smoker. Yet, they might find the same search results. People may also not know the exact terms to search for. A search for “bloating (腹胀)” might suggest eating more slowly or avoiding dairy products, which can help if bloating is from too much air, but not so if it’s from fluid (液体) build-up. Only after seeing a doctor and undergoing a physical examination would it be identified as “ascites (腹腔积水)”. 38 Many articles are written intentionally to make money or promote specific agendas, not to give accurate advice. In fact, only a small part of the health information available online is created with the reader’s best interests in mind. Fortunately, a few strategies can help us find reliable medical information. First, check the author and website. 39 Government agencies are also trustworthy and offer regularly updated information. Besides, be careful if a website recommends a specific medication or procedure, especially if it has large ads for that treatment. 40 By following these tips, we can improve our chances of finding useful, accurate, and objective health information. A．So is this trend bound to continue? B．But is online medical advice actually reliable? C．These pages may be created by profit-driven companies. D．An even bigger issue is the rise of medical misinformation. E．Online articles often fail to consider each person’s unique situation. F．Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to figure out a website’s intentions. G．Reliable sources are usually written by doctors or hosted on trusted sites. 第三部分、语言运用 It was Christmas Day.

But for Antony, he couldn’t enjoy the Christmas delight with them. 42 , he was surrounded by flashes of red from roaring ambulances. He was saving lives. About fifty years ago, Antony was born in a little village in Northern Greece, where traditions were 43 with the highest honor. However, he was a boy who 44 Santa.

On Friday, Chinese cultural institutions, launched a newly developed digital font (字体) based on the script of the Yongle Dadian, 58 vast encyclopedia (百科全书) collected more than 600 years ago during the Ming Dynasty. The two-year project aims to transform a historical writing style once 59 (reserve) for the imperial court into a font available for public use. The Yongle Dadian is regarded 60 the world’s first encyclopedia, 61 (bring) together classical texts including history, philosophy, literature, science and the arts. Much of the original work has since been lost, making surviving volumes 62 (cultural) invaluable. The project is part of a broader shift in how China is looking after the 63 (preserve) of its written heritage. 64 experts particularly emphasize is that this digital revival allows ancient scripts to reconnect with modern life. “Traditionally, this script 65 (protect) by being kept out of everyday use,” said Zhang Weitao, head of the Guangzhou branch of the China National Archives of Publications and Culture. “Now the aim is to let people use them, so they remain alive.” 第四部分、写作 为了帮助同学们进行生涯规划，校英文报“Career Insight”栏目计划邀请一位职业规划顾问来分享经验。作为栏目主编，请你给这位顾问写一封约稿信。内容包括： 1.说明约稿意图； 2.期待分享的具体内容； 3.表达对稿件的期待。 注意：1.词数：80词左右；2.可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。 Dear Career Consultant, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Editor 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。 The storm arrived much more quickly than the weather forecast had predicted. By the time I drove my car into the small restaurant’s parking lot, the outside world had already become a peaceful white mist. I had not planned to open the restaurant. After all, who would be out in such heavy snow? But then I saw a line of truck drivers walking slowly along the roadside. Their yellow headlights cut through the snow, and the men were shaking from head to toe with cold. One of them knocked. Frost in his beard, he begged, “Madam, is there any chance we could get a coffee? Roads are closed. We won’t make the next stop.” I hesitated. Running the place alone is hard on the best day, and a dozen hungry drivers seemed like a tidal wave. Then I heard my grandmother in my head: When in doubt, feed people. I opened the door, flooded the room with light and waved them in. They settled themselves in the seats without a word. Right away, I brought coffee and before I knew it I was busy making pancakes and bacon, just as if it were a busy Saturday morning. Suddenly, the silence was broken. Laughter took its place. “Angel in an apron (围裙),” one of them said, and I pretended my cheeks weren’t hot. We were strangers, sure, but the night wore down the edges. They took turns sleeping. One — Roy, broad-shouldered — washed dishes without being asked. Another, Vince, fetched a worn guitar from his truck and picked old country tunes until the coffee pot sighed empty. By morning, the snowstorm felt less like a threat and more like an excuse for a reunion none of us knew we needed. The radio confirmed what we’d guessed: no snow cleaning for at least a day. I did a mental list and felt my stomach drop. Ten pounds of flour (面粉), a few cans, some pork — it would be too tight. Roy caught the look on my face. “Are you alright, Madam?” “Just figuring out how to stretch biscuits into three days,” I answered. 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。 Hearing my words, the drivers jumped into action without hesitation. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, the snow stopped and they were prepared to leave. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
