Feng's recent popular video comes from his bilingual (stop announcements in Chinese and English, captivating netizens.Some remark,"It's like a luxurious flight for just two_yuan!",praising Handan's harmonious combination of tradition and modernity. This transformation started when Feng greeted a group of foreign passengers with"Hello.Happy New Year!"during the Spring Festival.Encouraged by their positive feedback,he saw an opportunity to serve the many foreigners riding his bus.Determnined to improve communication,Feng started an English learning journey. Starting from zero,he was buried in online courses,sought English materials and used translation software to enhance his skills.Today,his bilingual announcements reflect his dedication and Handan's cultural charm. Each evening,after dropping off his last passengers,Feng returned home around 9:00 pm,exhausted but determined. Despite his tiredness.he'd continue studying for an hour,even making the best of his 20-minute break. Inspired by his colleagues and after three years of non-stop preparation,Feng boldly tried bilingual announcements during peak hours in early 2023.Initially nervous,he received overwhelming encouragement from passengers, strengthening his resolve to make bilingual announcements an essential part. "Taking that first step was discouraging,but the positive feedback fueled my passion,"Feng recalled."It's become a goal and a cherished wish." Now,over a year and a half later,Feng's bilingual announcements have gathered a devoted fan base.Passengers eagerly board the No.38 bus to immerse themselves in his enriching language experience,while parents bring their children along for the educational ride.Feng's dedication has transformed his routine bus rides into linguistic adventures,captivating hearts and minds alike. 24.What does the underlined sentence imply in Para.2? A.Feng's oral English is perfect. B.Feng drives the bus as fast as a plane. C.Feng's bus offers the same luxury and comfort as a plane. D.Feng's bus provides a bilingual atmosphere similar to that of plane. 25.What inspired Feng initially to announce the stops bilingually? A.Enhancing his oral English. B.Attracting more passengers to board his bus. C.Reflecting Handan's cultural charm to the passengers. D.Better serving foreigners on his bus after their thumbs-up. 26.Which of the following can best describe Feng? A.Brave and nation-loving. B.Strong-willed and diligent C.Devoted and patient. D.Considerate and frank. 27.What can we learn from the passage? A.All roads lead to Rome B.It is never too old to learn. C.Where there is will,there is a way. D.A man can do no more than he can. C The headline conclusion from a paper published last month by the National Bureau of Economic Research is that the more you work over your lifetime,the more you earn.So far,so obvious.But the surprises are hidden in an explanation that's more complex than you'd think. The authors use large numbers of surveys tracking individuals as far back as 1979.They find that a major determinant of total lifetime working hours is individual choice-some people just prefer to work more,while others might prioritize other activities. Going a step further,the paper finds that those who work more earn more because they master more skills over time during the extra time they work.The overlapping (effects of different preferences for work and different levels of skill acquisition account for a huge share of overall differences in lifetime earnings,and operate independently of other factors such as the level of education or skills an individual gains before entering the labor force.In other words,income inequality is in part a matter of choice rather than unchangeable economic or social forces. 第3页共8页 The study isn't a complete overview of jabor market behavior,and the authors don't claim it is.Their survey sample examines only men who have been"highly attached"to the labor market over their full working lives,meaning working at least 520 hours per year.The conclusions might be related to debates about gender (pay gaps-where different preferences for paid work versus working at home to raise a family often come into play-but that awaits further study. One implication is that a labor market is too complex to bear simple analyses-or heavy-handed regulation(). The economists note as a typical example the failure of French efforts to boost earnings by limiting the work week. Politicians always hope this will force companies to hire more workers.But such laws stop those who want to work more from doing so and from developing their skills in the process,while not requiring those who prefer to work less to spend more time on the job. 28.How do the paper authors come to the conclusion? A.By conducting experiments. B.By analyzing previous data. C.By studying the overlapping effects. D.By comparing the earnings of different industries. 29.What is a limitation of the study according to the text? A.It mainly examines those who work part-time. B.It fails to consider the role of individual preferences. C.It ignores the impact of education on lifetime earnings. D.It excludes women and part-time workers from the sample. 30.What can be inferred from the example of France's attempt? A.It may prevent some people from improving their skills. B.It can effectively reduce income inequality in the long run. C.It can definitely lead to more job opportunities for workers. D.It may encourage companies to invest more in employee training. 31.What is the best title for the text? A.The Truth behind Gender Pay Gaps B.The Complexity of the Labor Market C.The Link between Working Hours and Earnings D.The Significance of Education in Lifetime Earnings D When we sleep,our brain is still actively processing the day's experiences and integrating (them with past memories.Previous studies have identified links between pupil()size and sleep state,as well as between sleep state and memory formation.However,it has been unclear how fresh memories are processed without mixing into old ones.For example,how do we learn to play the piano without forgetting how to ride a bike? Researchers at Cornell University addressed this question by attaching brain-scanning electrodes and tiny eye-tracking cameras to mice.They monitored the mice as they learned new tasks during the day,such as going through a maze,and then observed them during sleep.(Fun fact:mice can sleep with their eyes open.) The study revealed two distinct substages during non-rapid eye movement (NREM)sleep,a key period for memory formation.One substage replayed new memories,along with narrowed pupils.The other involved recalling older memories, marked by widened pupils.The brain shifted rapidly between these stages.The team also discovered that during the narrowed pupil stages,blocking sharp-wave ripples(SWRs)limited the mice's ability to remember new information. It is also found that the brain has an intermediate period that separates new learning from old knowledge. The results suggest that the brain can multitask different cognitive processes during sleep to promote continuous learning without interference().It's like new learning,old knowledge,new learning,old knowledge,shifting slowly throughout sleep. The implications of the study are far-reaching:such a non-invasive means of monitoring brain function may help treat memory issues and boost memory,for example.The study also supports the hypothesis()that human brains and computer systems may significantly forget old information.Serious forgetting,known in AI,is an area where machines are still worse than biology.What's more,the findings provide a potential solution for preventing serious interference while 第4页共8页 enabling memory integration in both biological and artificial neural networks. Despite the many similarities between human and mouse brains,similar studies need to be conducted in humans to verify these results. 32.What do researchers at Cornell University focus on? A.How pupil size is related to sleep state. B.How people learn to perform new tasks. C.How memories are kept without interference. D.How sleep state is connected with memory formation. 33.What is the finding of the study? A.Blocking SWRs removes old memories. B.The brain processes new memories first. C.Widened pupil is associated with replaying new memories. D.A middle stage distinguishes old memories from new ones 34.What is the implication of the study? A.It provides an invasive solution to memory study. B.It helps avoid large-scale interference and integrate memory. C.It denies that brains and computers may forget information dramatically. D.It supports that machines perform better in serious forgetting than brains. 35.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A.Code of Memory Integration in Sleep. B.Role of Sleep in Memory and Learning. C.Pupil Size:A Window into Human Brain. D.A Breakthrough:How Mice Sleep with Eyes Open. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What Is a Lawnmower(割草机)Parent?: You've heard of the"helicopter parent"-those overprotective caregivers who swoop in the moment their child meets a problem.Now a new term is sweeping playgrounds across the US:the"lawnmower parent."36 Lawnmower parents get their name because they mow down all challenges,conflicts or struggles their children might face before the kids have to deal with them themselves.Unlike helicopter parents who only keep a close watch,they completely remove obstacies before their kids even see them.37 For example,a dad once rushed to school with an expensive water bottle just because his teen complained about the school's water fountains.True story! This parenting style comes from deep love,but it brings serious long-term harm to kids'growth.Clinical psychologist Dr.Elizabeth Cohen says adults raised by lawnmower parents often struggle with basic life difficulties.38 "When parents take away all conflict,kids lose the key skill of handling frustration and disappointment,"she explains. Many parents don't even notice they're acting this way.I'll admit I've been both a helicopter and a lawnmower parent to my 3-year-old son.39 I even asked others to blow on his hot sweet potato fries when I stepped away for a second.This bad habit starts early,even with little kids on the playground. Letting kids face challenges is the only way to help them grow into independent,healthy adults.40 It may be tough at the beginning.It's never easy to stand by while your kid goes through a hard time,but the ability to deal with setbacks is the most valuable life skill you can give them. A.They should seek suggestions from their parents B.They can't handle workplace stress or difficult relationships well. C.I've had similar overly protective moments with my own kid. D.The best time to break this parenting pattern is right now. E.Many parents pick up this parenting style from their own families F.It describes an even more over-involved parenting style than helicopter parenting. G.These parents take extreme steps to keep their kids from any discomfort. 第5页共8页 第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分55分） 第一节（共25小题：每小题1分，满分25分） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Michael Todd wore the same clothes every day for the first three weeks of school.When the other kids began to 41 _that,Todd,a freshman at high school,became the 42 of taunts ()There was little Todd could do to 43 the situation,though.His mother simply couldn't44 to buy him new clothes.
