【答案】6. B 7. A 8. C
【解析】
【原文】Nearly everyone fears something, but when the fear becomes exaggerated and unreasonable, it’s a phobia, the most common form of anxiety disorder. There are many types of what we are known as specific or simple phobias. Common phobias include fear of animals, darkness, flying or public speaking. Most of us can cope with these situations without letting them get in the way of our daily lives. However, if you have a phobia, you may suffer from symptoms like increased heart rate, dizziness or even panic attacks. You might end up going to extreme lengths to avoid the thing that causes your phobia. For example, if you’re not a fan of spiders, you may not enjoy visiting a friend who has a pet spider. But most of us would put up with it. However, if you suffer from an extreme fear of spiders, you would probably refuse to visit him altogether. So phobias can have a real impact on our social relationships. As for what causes phobias, there are a couple of factors. If a child grows up with a parent who suffers from a phobia, the child is far more likely to develop the same strong fear. Also, many phobias are caused by a miserable past event, often during childhood. For instance, an encounter with a fierce dog could develop into cynophobia, fear of dogs, or nearly drowning as a child could lead to aquaphobia, fear of water.
Q: According to the speaker, what is a phobia?
Q: What symptom may a phobia patient have?
Q: Which of the following is a cause of phobias mentioned in the passage?

W: Not officially, but I have been helping my class organize our small reading corner for two years. I really enjoy keeping things in good order. I also help my younger sister find books at the public library.
M: That is good. The main job here is reshelving returned books and checking that everything is in the right order. It is not difficult, but it does require attention to detail. We also need someone to cover new books with plastic jackets. Have you ever done that before?

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The first time I went to a ballet alone, I worried that the memory of the aloneness would overshadow (使……蒙上阴影) the performance itself. But my desire to see the show ____33____ my nervousness about being new to the city with no one to invite. That evening, I walked into the theater with a ____34____ ticket and walked out with a newfound appreciation: the outing alone.
Nearly a decade later, I still enjoy going to whatever performance catches my eye, feeling as though I’ve stepped into an evening created just for me. I discovered then what many already knew: Doing something you like alone can be genuinely ____35____.
Research backs this up. In one study, marketing professors Rebecca Ratner and Rebecca Hamilton found that people often skip fun activities when they lack ____36____. Participants worried about how they would be perceived and consistently ____37____ how much they would enjoy going alone.
But solitude (独处) isn’t loneliness. “Loneliness is unmet social needs,” explains Thuy-vy Nguyen, the principal investigator of the Solitude Lab. Solitude, ____38____, is a neutral state that we can choose.
For Addie Tsai, 46, outings alone are a way of cultivating a relationship with herself. In her twenties, she would go alone to a 1980s music club, dancing all night and enjoying the ____39____ of not having to take care of or entertain others. That free state can also sharpen ____40____. Meg Edwards, 26, loves to hike alone. As a plant enthusiast, she prefers moving slowly, stopping to observe plants up close. With a friend, the focus often shifts to conversation.
At its best, the outing alone can feel like a pause — a chance to be buried in something you truly love. At the very least, it ensures that ____41____ schedules or not knowing who to invite won’t keep you from something you’ve longed to do.
Relationships matter deeply. But outings alone have also brought me unexpected connections. A book-led conversation with a neighboring table turned into local book club recommendations. Such small moments serve as a reminder that even when we go alone, we’re never entirely _____42_____ from the world around us. And that, perhaps, is the quiet gift of going alone.
33. A. concealed B. outweighed C. exhibited D. confirmed
34. A. free B. precious C. single D. spare

【35题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我那时发现了一个许多人都已经知道的道理:独自做你喜欢的事情,真的可以令人愉快。A. elegant优雅的;B. delightful令人愉快的;C. effortless不费力的;D. symbolic象征性的。根据前文“walked out with a newfound appreciation”以及后文研究证实独自活动带来的好处可知,作者对独自外出持积极正面的态度,认为独自做自己喜欢的事情也能快乐。

考查介词短语。句意:相比之下,独处是一种我们可以选择的中性状态。A. for example例如;B. by contrast相比之下;C. in consequence因此;D. in addition此外。根据前文“Loneliness is unmet social needs”可知,前文提到“孤独是未被满足的社交需求”,而本句讲“独处是一种中性状态”,两者形成对比关系,故应用短语“by contrast相比之下”进行对比。
【39题详解】

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The Evolution Plus Critical Injury Bleed Control Kit is specially designed to deal with critical, life-threatening bleeds. It is provided in a durable, bright orange Evolution kit, making it easily recognisable and suitable for any environment. The Evolution case also allows for this kit to be portable, meaning that the first aider can take it with them to the site of the accident.
The bleed control kit is ideal for high-risk industries, such as construction, industrial and agricultural, where there is a risk of severe injury, or for those workplaces that are further away from emergency services. With the supplies provided in this kit, staff are able to treat any injuries that may have occurred and lengthen the victim’s life until emergency workers arrive.
With the implementation of Martyn’s Law, this kit will also enable businesses and venues to demonstrate their preparedness for mass injury situations. To provide a victim with the best chance of survival when suffering from a severe bleed, this kit contains items such as a tourniquet and haemostatic dressings designed to stop blood flow as quickly as possible.
Delivery takes 2-3 working days, covering Mainland GB (England, Scotland, Wales), Northern Ireland and Ireland.
*It does not cover products delivered directly from the manufacturer.
*Free Delivery available for orders above £100
43. Which statement is TRUE about the Bleed Control Kit?
A. The control kit is only used for ground rescue work.
B. The color of orange is easily recognized by the victim.
C. Its portability makes first aid implementation unnecessary.
D. It includes tools to improve the victim’s chance of survival.
44. Tom, head of a construction site in Northern Ireland, plans to purchase first aid supplies with free delivery. Which of the following will he buy?
A. One piece of torpedo buoy& sleeve. B. Three combat application tourniquets.
C. Two deluxe first aid kits. D. Five packets of training gauze.
45. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a first aid kit with related information.

C. To tell readers the importance of following Martyn’s Law.
D. To compare different first aid kits on the market.
【答案】43. D 44. B 45. A
【解析】
【导语】文章围绕Evolution Plus重伤止血急救包展开,通过功能说明、适用场景、配送政策及配套产品推荐,为潜在用户提供采购参考。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“To provide a victim with the best chance of survival when suffering from a severe bleed, this kit contains items such as a tourniquet and haemostatic dressings designed to stop blood flow as quickly as possible.(为了给严重出血的受害者提供最佳生存机会,该急救包包含止血带和止血敷料等物品,旨在尽快止血。)”可知,该急救包包含能提高受害者生存几率的工具。
【44题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后的句子“Free Delivery available for orders above £100 (订单满100英镑可免费送货)”以及产品价格:Celox Z-fold Training Gauze单价£10.50,Combat Application Tourniquet单价£36,Torpedo Buoy & Sleeve单价£120,Deluxe first aid kit单价£36。计算可知,五个Celox Z-fold Training Gauze总价为£10.50×5=£52.50,三个Combat Application Tourniquet总价为£36×3=£108,两个Deluxe first aid kit总价为£36×2=£72,三个Combat Application Tourniquet的订单金额超过£100,可享受免费配送。而“Torpedo Buoy & Sleeve (鱼雷浮标和套筒)”虽然单价超过了100英镑,但属于水上救援设备,并非急救用品。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。文章整体介绍了Evolution Plus重伤止血急救包的设计特点、适用场景、包含物品、配送信息,还附带推荐了其他相关急救产品,主要目的是介绍这款急救包及相关信息。
(B)
Shortly after hearing the term online, psychologist Susan Albers started being asked about “sharenting” in her counseling sessions. Seemingly harmless, the trend has experts concerned.
“Teenagers, in particular, bring it up because their parents are sharing information they’re uncomfortable with,” Albers said. Sharenting is when a parent shares photos and other information about their children on social media. It’s a popular practice that has Albers worried for many millennials. “We don’t yet know the long-term emotional effects on children.” she added.
A 2017 study discovered that sharenting can lead to child identity theft and the distribution of images on child abuse websites. A 2015 report found up to half of photos shared on child exploitation (剥削) sites could be sourced back to pictures first posted on social media. By 2023, researchers had labeled the growing trend as “sharenting syndrome.” They reported that children who become well-known online may risk neglect and abuse due to their developmental characteristics.
Bullying is another concern. Professor Alaimo interviewed a teenager who worried that schoolmates would use pictures of her posted by her parents to make fun of her. “Most bullying happens on phones. Young people sometimes add someone into a group chat and then post an embarrassing photo to humiliate the person.” she noted.
Additionally, children can also pick up on unhealthy habits when their parents sharent. They may feel responsible for constantly attracting attention online. Research suggests this links to anxiety later in life.
The risks are plenty. But there are ways for parents to show their pride without putting their children in harm’s way.
Alaimo recommends using private accounts and only accepting follow requests from people they know offline. Such accounts aren’t foolproof, as risks like hacking, data leaks still exist, yet they reduce the risk of exposure to ill intentions. Parents should confirm follow requests by contacting the person offline to confirm their identity.
Photos that could potentially embarrass children should be avoided. Never share detailed information that an identity thief might find handy. For example, a child’s birthplace could be used to hack into online accounts later. Keeping child’s school names and other places they regularly frequent can make it harder for someone to find children offline.
We consider our children a part of our identities, but they are their own individuals with feelings. Sharing about ourselves is one thing, but sharing about others in our homes is quite another.
46. What does the underlined word “millennials” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Psychologists who feel anxious about sharenting.
B. Teenagers who complain about their parents’ posts.
C. Parents who share their children’s information online.
D. Researchers who investigate the effects of sharenting.
47. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5 that ________.
A. sharenting surely makes children fall victim to identity theft
B. children with online fame may have a stronger sense of duty
C. shared photos of children can become tools for bullying
D. sharenting makes children confident and mentally healthy
48. Which of the following is Alaimo’s suggestion?
A. Stop sharing any photos that may embarrass children.
B. Use private accounts and check the identities of followers.
C. Avoid using social media to lower the risk of sharenting.
D. Keep children’s daily routines and online account secret.
49. The author writes this passage mainly to suggest ________.
A. sharenting may strengthen family bonds
B. teenagers must protect their privacy online
C. private accounts can end the risk of privacy
D. parents should realise the risks of sharenting
【答案】46. C 47. C 48. B 49. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍了网络“晒娃”这一流行现象,剖析其会造成身份被盗、遭受霸凌、孩子产生心理焦虑等多重隐患,并给家长提出多条保护孩子隐私、安全晒娃的可行建议。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Sharenting is when a parent shares photos and other information about their children on social media. It’s a popular practice that has Albers worried for many millennials. (晒娃指父母在社交媒体分享孩子的照片和其他信息,这种十分普遍的行为让艾伯斯对许多millennials感到担忧。)”可推知,划线词millennials指代的就是在网上分享孩子信息的父母群体。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Professor Alaimo interviewed a teenager who worried that schoolmates would use pictures of her posted by her parents to make fun of her. ‘Most bullying happens on phones. Young people sometimes add someone into a group chat and then post an embarrassing photo to humiliate the person.’ (艾莱莫教授采访了一名青少年,她担心同学会用她父母发布的她的照片取笑她。‘大多数霸凌发生在手机上,年轻人有时会把目标拉进群聊,然后发布令人尴尬的照片来羞辱这个人。’)”可推知,父母分享的孩子的照片可以成为霸凌的工具。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第七段“Alaimo recommends using private accounts and only accepting follow requests from people they know offline. Such accounts aren’t foolproof, as risks like hacking, data leaks still exist, yet they reduce the risk of exposure to ill intentions. Parents should confirm follow requests by contacting the person offline to confirm their identity. (艾莱莫建议使用私密账号,只接受线下认识的人的关注请求。这类账号并非万无一失,黑客入侵、数据泄露等风险依旧存在,但能大幅减少别有用心之人窥探的概率。父母应当线下联系对方,确认关注请求发起者的身份。)”可知,艾莱莫的建议是使用私密账号并且核查关注者的身份。
【49题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Shortly after hearing the term online, psychologist Susan Albers started being asked about “sharenting” in her counseling sessions. Seemingly harmless, the trend has experts concerned. (心理学家苏珊・艾伯斯刚在网上接触到“晒娃”这个说法不久,就不断有人在心理咨询时向她问及该现象。这一趋势看似无伤大雅,却引发了专家们的担忧。)”并结合全文可知,本文首先引入“晒娃”现象,接着用大量篇幅介绍了晒娃对孩子的诸多潜在风险,最后给出降低风险的建议,核心目的是呼吁父母意识到晒娃的风险,保护孩子的权益,选项D符合主旨。
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
What Is Really Going on Inside the Teenage Brain?
We all know that significant changes occur in our bodies during adolescence, but have you ever stopped to wonder what’s actually going on inside our brains during this time?
____50____ Our brains are made up of about 100 billion nerve cells called neurons (神经元). Each time we do or think something, a signal travels down a neuron’s axon (轴突) and passes across tiny gaps called synapses (突触) to another nerve cell. In this way, messages are sent across our neural network.
Our brain structure changes dramatically as we grow. Newborns have almost all their neurons but few connections, which is why they can’t do much. ____51____ Although people once believed that most brain development happens in early childhood, we now know that our brains continue to develop throughout life, and perhaps the most dramatic time of change is adolescence.
During this period of reorganization, the brain witnesses a sudden increase in neurons, like a plant growing wildly in spring. Just as we cut off some branches of a plant to make it stronger and healthier, our brains clear out unnecessary neural links. Active brain connections tend to get reinforced (加强) over time, whereas inactive ones will gradually decline and eventually vanish ____52____ This explains why practice makes perfect. In fact, the teenage brain provides ideal conditions for mastering skills like playing an instrument, learning a language, or playing complex computer games. Teenagers may actually determine their own brain development through the activities they engage in.
It may also be unsurprising to many to learn that the last part of the adolescent brain to develop is the frontal cortex, responsible for self-control, problem solving and decision making. ____53____ So, unpredictable and risk-taking teenage behavior, often blamed on hormones, may actually have more to do with what is happening inside their brains.
A. To paint a clearer picture, we should first be familiar with the different parts of the brain.
B. Some connections are strengthened through repetition, while others are weakened simply with the passing of time.
C. Accordingly, long before teens develop logical reasoning, their choices are largely governed by the brain’s emotional center.
D. So, the more frequently an action or thought is activated, the stronger the connections become.
E. A useful starting point for any discussion is to examine how neurons evolve.
F. However, after a few months, the number of connections explodes, empowering babies to master skills like walking and talking.
【答案】50. A 51. F 52. D 53. C
【解析】
【导语】介绍青春期大脑内部发生的剧烈结构重构,解析神经元变化、前额皮质发育滞后带来的青少年行为特点。
【50题详解】
根据后文“Our brains are made up of about 100 billion nerve cells called neurons (神经元). Each time we do or think something, a signal travels down a neuron’s axon (轴突) and passes across tiny gaps called synapses (突触) to another nerve cell.(人脑由约一千亿个名为神经元的神经细胞构成。我们每次做事或思考时,信号会沿着神经元轴突传递,穿过名为突触的微小间隙抵达另一个神经细胞。)”可知,本段整段详细介绍大脑内部细胞构成,A 选项“To paint a clearer picture, we should first be familiar with the different parts of the brain.(为讲解得更清晰,我们应当先熟悉大脑的各个组成部分)”总起下文对大脑内部结构、神经元的介绍,起到总领段落的作用,符合语境。
【51题详解】
根据前文“Newborns have almost all their neurons but few connections, which is why they can’t do much.(新生儿几乎拥有全部神经元,但神经元之间连接极少,这也是他们无法完成很多动作的原因。)”可知,婴儿初期神经连接数量不足,结合后文“Although people once believed that most brain development happens in early childhood, we now know that our brains continue to develop throughout life(人们曾认为大脑发育主要在幼儿时期完成,如今我们知晓大脑一生都在持续发育)”可知,空格内容应与前文构成转折后关系。F选项“However, after a few months, the number of connections explodes, empowering babies to master skills like walking and talking.(但数月之后,神经元连接数量激增,让婴儿学会走路、说话等技能)”中However形成转折,衔接前后神经元连接数量的变化,逻辑连贯,符合语境。
【52题详解】
根据空前“Active brain connections tend to get reinforced (加强) over time, whereas inactive ones will gradually decline and eventually vanish(常用的大脑神经连接会随时间不断强化,而闲置的连接会慢慢弱化直至消失)”可知,两类神经连接的不同走向,结合空后“This explains why practice makes perfect.(这就解释了熟能生巧的道理)”可知,空格需要进一步推导动作重复频次和神经连接强度的关系。D选项“So, the more frequently an action or thought is activated, the stronger the connections become.(因此,某一行为或思考被调用得越频繁,对应的神经连接就会越牢固)”承接前文正反两种连接的变化规律,顺理成章引出后文熟能生巧的结论,符合语境。
【53题详解】
根据前文“It may also be unsurprising to many to learn that the last part of the adolescent brain to develop is the frontal cortex, responsible for self-control, problem solving and decision making.(很多人不难得知,青少年大脑最后发育成熟的前额皮质掌管自控力、问题处理与决策功能。)”可知,理性决策区域发育滞后,结合空后“So, unpredictable and risk-taking teenage behavior, often blamed on hormones, may actually have more to do with what is happening inside their brains.(所以青少年冲动冒险的反常行为常被归咎于激素,实则更多和大脑发育状况有关)”可知,此处需要解释前额皮质不成熟如何催生冲动行为。C选项“Accordingly, long before teens develop logical reasoning, their choices are largely governed by the brain’s emotional center.(因此,青少年还未形成逻辑推理能力时,行为选择大多受大脑情绪中枢支配)”衔接前额皮质发育滞后的前提,解释青少年冒险冲动行为的成因,符合语境。

Twenty-one Days Without Food
Why would someone choose to stop eating entirely? We know the human body depends on food to function properly, as it provides the energy and nutrients needed for daily activities. However, many people fast at some time during their lives. What drives this choice?
Some people fast for political reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the U.S. were denied the right to vote. To protest this injustice, many fasted to draw public attention. Mohandas Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17 times during his life. For Gandhi, fasting was a powerful political tool. In 1943, he fasted to bring attention to his country’s need for independence. For 21 days, he went without food. Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez. In the 1960s, he went three weeks without food to expose farm workers’ terrible working conditions.
Fasting is also a spiritual practice in many religions. Every year during the month of Ramadan, a sacred holiday, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset as a way to show devotion. Many Hindus fast on special occasions, as do some Christians and Buddhists.
Not everyone fasts for politics or religious reasons. Some people occasionally fast just because it makes them feel better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses. Whenever he had a cold or a fever, he stopped eating completely. He said that this always made his cold or fever go away. Another American writer, Upton Sinclair, discovered fasting after years of overeating, indigestion, and headaches. His first fast lasted for 12 days. During this time, his headaches and stomachaches faded. Sinclair said that fasting also made him more alert and energetic.
Fasting can be dangerous and pose risks to people’s health. However, that doesn’t stop people from fasting, as they often have strong motivations behind their decision.

III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
The first time I went to a ballet alone, I worried that the memory of the aloneness would overshadow (使……蒙上阴影) the performance itself. But my desire to see the show ____33____ my nervousness about being new to the city with no one to invite. That evening, I walked into the theater with a ____34____ ticket and walked out with a newfound appreciation: the outing alone.
Nearly a decade later, I still enjoy going to whatever performance catches my eye, feeling as though I’ve stepped into an evening created just for me. I discovered then what many already knew: Doing something you like alone can be genuinely ____35____.
Research backs this up. In one study, marketing professors Rebecca Ratner and Rebecca Hamilton found that people often skip fun activities when they lack ____36____. Participants worried about how they would be perceived and consistently ____37____ how much they would enjoy going alone.
But solitude (独处) isn’t loneliness. “Loneliness is unmet social needs,” explains Thuy-vy Nguyen, the principal investigator of the Solitude Lab. Solitude, ____38____, is a neutral state that we can choose.
For Addie Tsai, 46, outings alone are a way of cultivating a relationship with herself. In her twenties, she would go alone to a 1980s music club, dancing all night and enjoying the ____39____ of not having to take care of or entertain others. That free state can also sharpen ____40____. Meg Edwards, 26, loves to hike alone. As a plant enthusiast, she prefers moving slowly, stopping to observe plants up close. With a friend, the focus often shifts to conversation.
At its best, the outing alone can feel like a pause — a chance to be buried in something you truly love. At the very least, it ensures that ____41____ schedules or not knowing who to invite won’t keep you from something you’ve longed to do.
Relationships matter deeply. But outings alone have also brought me unexpected connections. A book-led conversation with a neighboring table turned into local book club recommendations.

(B)
Shortly after hearing the term online, psychologist Susan Albers started being asked about “sharenting” in her counseling sessions. Seemingly harmless, the trend has experts concerned.
“Teenagers, in particular, bring it up because their parents are sharing information they’re uncomfortable with,” Albers said. Sharenting is when a parent shares photos and other information about their children on social media. It’s a popular practice that has Albers worried for many millennials. “We don’t yet know the long-term emotional effects on children.” she added.
A 2017 study discovered that sharenting can lead to child identity theft and the distribution of images on child abuse websites. A 2015 report found up to half of photos shared on child exploitation (剥削) sites could be sourced back to pictures first posted on social media. By 2023, researchers had labeled the growing trend as “sharenting syndrome.” They reported that children who become well-known online may risk neglect and abuse due to their developmental characteristics.
Bullying is another concern. Professor Alaimo interviewed a teenager who worried that schoolmates would use pictures of her posted by her parents to make fun of her. “Most bullying happens on phones. Young people sometimes add someone into a group chat and then post an embarrassing photo to humiliate the person.” she noted.
Additionally, children can also pick up on unhealthy habits when their parents sharent. They may feel responsible for constantly attracting attention online. Research suggests this links to anxiety later in life.
The risks are plenty. But there are ways for parents to show their pride without putting their children in harm’s way.
Alaimo recommends using private accounts and only accepting follow requests from people they know offline. Such accounts aren’t foolproof, as risks like hacking, data leaks still exist, yet they reduce the risk of exposure to ill intentions. Parents should confirm follow requests by contacting the person offline to confirm their identity.
Photos that could potentially embarrass children should be avoided. Never share detailed information that an identity thief might find handy. For example, a child’s birthplace could be used to hack into online accounts later. Keeping child’s school names and other places they regularly frequent can make it harder for someone to find children offline.
We consider our children a part of our identities, but they are their own individuals with feelings. Sharing about ourselves is one thing, but sharing about others in our homes is quite another.
46. What does the underlined word “millennials” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Psychologists who feel anxious about sharenting.
B. Teenagers who complain about their parents’ posts.
C. Parents who share their children’s information online.
D. Researchers who investigate the effects of sharenting.
47. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 5 that ________.
A. sharenting surely makes children fall victim to identity theft
B. children with online fame may have a stronger sense of duty
C. shared photos of children can become tools for bullying
D. sharenting makes children confident and mentally healthy
48. Which of the following is Alaimo’s suggestion?
A. Stop sharing any photos that may embarrass children.
B. Use private accounts and check the identities of followers.
C. Avoid using social media to lower the risk of sharenting.
D. Keep children’s daily routines and online account secret.
49. The author writes this passage mainly to suggest ________.
A. sharenting may strengthen family bonds
B. teenagers must protect their privacy online
C. private accounts can end the risk of privacy
D. parents should realise the risks of sharenting
Section C
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
What Is Really Going on Inside the Teenage Brain?
We all know that significant changes occur in our bodies during adolescence, but have you ever stopped to wonder what’s actually going on inside our brains during this time?
____50____ Our brains are made up of about 100 billion nerve cells called neurons (神经元). Each time we do or think something, a signal travels down a neuron’s axon (轴突) and passes across tiny gaps called synapses (突触) to another nerve cell. In this way, messages are sent across our neural network.
Our brain structure changes dramatically as we grow. Newborns have almost all their neurons but few connections, which is why they can’t do much. ____51____ Although people once believed that most brain development happens in early childhood, we now know that our brains continue to develop throughout life, and perhaps the most dramatic time of change is adolescence.
During this period of reorganization, the brain witnesses a sudden increase in neurons, like a plant growing wildly in spring. Just as we cut off some branches of a plant to make it stronger and healthier, our brains clear out unnecessary neural links. Active brain connections tend to get reinforced (加强) over time, whereas inactive ones will gradually decline and eventually vanish ____52____ This explains why practice makes perfect. In fact, the teenage brain provides ideal conditions for mastering skills like playing an instrument, learning a language, or playing complex computer games. Teenagers may actually determine their own brain development through the activities they engage in.
It may also be unsurprising to many to learn that the last part of the adolescent brain to develop is the frontal cortex, responsible for self-control, problem solving and decision making. ____53____ So, unpredictable and risk-taking teenage behavior, often blamed on hormones, may actually have more to do with what is happening inside their brains.
A. To paint a clearer picture, we should first be familiar with the different parts of the brain.
B. Some connections are strengthened through repetition, while others are weakened simply with the passing of time.
C. Accordingly, long before teens develop logical reasoning, their choices are largely governed by the brain’s emotional center.
D. So, the more frequently an action or thought is activated, the stronger the connections become.
E. A useful starting point for any discussion is to examine how neurons evolve.
F. However, after a few months, the number of connections explodes, empowering babies to master skills like walking and talking.
IV. Summary Writing
54. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Twenty-one Days Without Food
Why would someone choose to stop eating entirely? We know the human body depends on food to function properly, as it provides the energy and nutrients needed for daily activities. However, many people fast at some time during their lives. What drives this choice?
Some people fast for political reasons. In the early 20th century, women in England and the U.S. were denied the right to vote. To protest this injustice, many fasted to draw public attention. Mohandas Gandhi, the famous Indian leader, fasted 17 times during his life. For Gandhi, fasting was a powerful political tool. In 1943, he fasted to bring attention to his country’s need for independence. For 21 days, he went without food. Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez. In the 1960s, he went three weeks without food to expose farm workers’ terrible working conditions.
Fasting is also a spiritual practice in many religions. Every year during the month of Ramadan, a sacred holiday, Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset as a way to show devotion. Many Hindus fast on special occasions, as do some Christians and Buddhists.
Not everyone fasts for politics or religious reasons. Some people occasionally fast just because it makes them feel better. The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses. Whenever he had a cold or a fever, he stopped eating completely. He said that this always made his cold or fever go away. Another American writer, Upton Sinclair, discovered fasting after years of overeating, indigestion, and headaches. His first fast lasted for 12 days. During this time, his headaches and stomachaches faded. Sinclair said that fasting also made him more alert and energetic.
Fasting can be dangerous and pose risks to people’s health. However, that doesn’t stop people from fasting, as they often have strong motivations behind their decision.
