A.for example B.likely C. busy D.easy E. such as
Why do people get earworms?
Scientists think it may have something to do with our brain. Sometimes when we feel bored, our brain wants something 5 and interesting. People are more 6 to get an earworm when they are doing something like walking or doing housework.
Musicians can have earworms more often than other people.
How can you get it out of your head?
Our brain can’t deal with more than one thing at a time. Do other things, 7 reading or talking to others. This can keep our brain 8 . So, the brain doesn’t have time to care about the earworms.
【答案】1.B 2.A 3.E 4.D 5.D 6.B 7.E 8.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了“耳虫”现象,即某些音乐片段会在脑海中反复播放的现象,并解释了其原因及应对方法。
1.句意:后来,你回家了。结合所给单词和“you go home”以及上下文可知,此处表示时间上的先后顺序,“后来”回家了,副词Later“后来”符合语境。故填B。
2.句意:事实上,很多人都有过这种经历。结合所给单词和“many people experience this”可知,此处表示实际情况,In fact符合。故填A。
3.句意:这种音乐被叫做耳虫。结合所给单词和“This kind of music is...an earworm”可知,此处表示这种音乐被“叫做”耳虫,be called“被叫做”符合语境。故填E。
4.句意:一首歌的重复乐段最容易成为耳虫。结合所给单词和“A riff (重复乐段) of a song is the...to become an earworm”可知,此处表示重复乐段是“最容易”成为耳虫的。根据空前的the可知,此处用形容词最高级,easy的最高级是easiest。故填D。
5.句意:有时当我们感到无聊时,我们的大脑想要一些简单且有趣的事情。结合所给单词和“and interesting”可知,此处表示大脑想要简单且有趣的事情,and连接并列成分,easy“简单的”符合语境。故填D。
6.句意:当人们在做像散步或做家务这样的事情时,更有可能出现耳虫。结合所给单词和“People are more...to get an earworm”可知,此处表示人们更“有可能”出现耳虫,likely符合。故填B。

8.句意:这可以让我们的大脑忙碌起来。结合所给单词和“This can keep our brain...”以及前文提到大脑不能同时处理多件事,做其他事能让大脑怎样,可知此处表示让大脑“忙碌”起来,busy符合。故填C。
六、阅读还原。
As a student, you might find it hard to focus on your studies for a long time. Sometimes, you feel tired and can’t remember things well. The good news is that you can study smarter, not just longer. Here are some useful tips to help you.
Find a quiet place to study
A quiet environment helps you concentrate(集中注意力). It should be away from the TV and other noises. 1 Also, make sure your study area is tidy and has enough light. A comfortable chair and desk are important, too.
Take short breaks during study
Studying for hours without a rest is not a good idea. Your brain needs time to process information. 2 For example, after 45 minutes of study, you can take a 10-minute break. You can stand up, stretch, or drink some water.
Review what you have learned
Don’t just close your book after finishing your homework. 3 You can do this by making simple notes or telling the main points to yourself. Reviewing helps move knowledge from your short-term memory to your long-term memory.
Get enough sleep at night
When you are well-rested, you can think more clearly and remember things better. 4 So try to sleep for 8-9 hours each night. Staying up late to study might seem helpful, but it often makes you more tired the next day.
A.This will help you feel refreshed and focus better.
B.Spending a few minutes reviewing is very useful.
C.Turn off your phone so you won’t be disturbed(被打扰的).
D.Eating healthy food is also good for your brain.
E.It is much better to take short breaks between study sessions.
【答案】1.C 2.E 3.B 4.A
【导语】本文主要介绍了四条能让学生更高效学习的实用技巧,包括找安静学习环境、学习中短暂休息、及时复习以及保证充足睡眠。
1.小标题提到“Find a quiet place to study”,强调环境要安静、远离电视和噪音,空白处应补充如何避免干扰的具体做法。C项“Turn off your phone so you won’t be disturbed.”(关掉手机以免被打扰)符合语境,且与后文“Also, make sure your study area is tidy...”衔接自然。
2.小标题提到“Take short breaks during study”,指出大脑需要时间处理信息,空白处应引出休息的建议。E项“It is much better to take short breaks between study sessions.”(在学习时段之间短暂休息要好得多)直接呼应主题,并为后面的举例(学习45分钟休息10分钟)做铺垫。
3.小标题提到“Review what you have learned”,建议不要合上书就结束,空白处应说明复习的价值。B项“Spending a few minutes reviewing is very useful.”(花几分钟复习非常有用)符合逻辑,后文“You can do this by...”中的“this”即指复习。
4.小标题提到“Get enough sleep at night”,说明休息好能提高思维和记忆力,空白处应补充充足睡眠带来的好处。A项“This will help you feel refreshed and focus better.”(这能帮助你恢复精神、更专注)中的“This”指代前一分钟的充足睡眠,与后文“So try to sleep for 8-9 hours each night.”形成因果关系。
七、阅读理解。
People spend about one third of their lives sleeping, and during that time, most people experience strange and colorful dreams every night. But why do we dream? This question has interested scientists for hundreds of years, and they have done different kinds of research to look for a reasonable explanation.
Some scientists believe that dreams help our brain organize information. When we sleep, our mind deals with the things we see, hear and learn during the day. It connects new information with old memories properly. In this way, dreams are like a “cleaning and sorting (分类)” system (系统) for our memory, making our brain work more efficiently (高效地).
Others hold the opinion that dreams prepare us for real life. In dreams, we may face dangerous or difficult situations, which can help us practice and deal with problems better when we are awake. Some dreams also show our true feelings and unconscious (潜意识的) wishes that we may not notice or express in our daily life.
Although they have different ideas, they have found one thing in common: not all dreams have deep or special meanings. Sometimes, dreams are just caused by body tiredness or strange thoughts before going to bed. They may be meaningless and have no clear message at all.
Until now, scientists still do not have a final certain answer. They will keep studying the mystery of dreams. But there is no doubt that understanding dreams better may help humans know more about the secrets of the human mind and body.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1.What does the brain do during sleep according to Paragraph 2?
A.It stops organizing information to have a good rest.
B.It cleans the room and sorts the rubbish efficiently.
C.It deals with daily information and connects it with old memories.
D.It only helps with the difficult situations we may face in our daily life.
2.Which of the following is a fact instead of an opinion?
A.Scientists have done different kinds of research about dreaming.
B.Scientists believe that dreams help our brain organize information.
C.Dreams can surely help us practice and deal with problems better in real life.
D.Understanding dreams may help humans know more about our mind and body.
3.What does the underlined word “They” refer to?
A.Dreams. B.Thoughts. C.Scientists. D.Memories
4.How is the text mainly organized?
A.By telling a story and expressing feelings.
B.By offering a suggestion and listing steps.
C.By showing a problem and finding different ways.
D.By raising a question and discussing different ideas.
5.Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
A.①②→③④→⑤ B.①→②③④→⑤
C.①②→③→④⑤ D.①→②→③④→⑤
【答案】1.C 2.A 3.A 4.D 5.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,围绕“人为什么会做梦”这一问题展开,介绍了科学家们对于做梦原因的不同观点,最后指出目前科学家仍未有最终答案,但理解梦或许能帮助人类更多地了解身心奥秘。
1.文章第二段提到“When we sleep, our mind deals with the things we see, hear and learn during the day. It connects new information with old memories properly.”,说明在睡眠时大脑会处理日常信息并将其与旧记忆联系起来。
2.文章第一段提到“they have done different kinds of research to look for a reasonable explanation.”,科学家们做了不同种类的关于做梦的研究,这是客观事实,并非观点。而B、C、D选项均为科学家们的观点。
3.文章第四段提到“Sometimes, dreams are just caused by body tiredness or strange thoughts before going to bed. They may be meaningless and have no clear message at all.”,前文说梦由身体疲劳或睡前奇怪想法引起,后文说它们可能毫无意义,所以“They”指代“Dreams”。
4.文章第一段提出“But why do we dream?”这一问题,后面段落分别阐述了不同科学家对于做梦原因的不同观点,所以文章是通过提出问题并讨论不同观点来组织的。
5.文章第一段提出“人为什么会做梦”这一问题;第二、三、四段分别阐述了不同科学家对于做梦原因的不同观点;第五段总结目前科学家仍未有最终答案,但理解梦或许能帮助人类更多地了解身心奥秘。所以文章结构为①→②③④→⑤。
八、完形填空。
When we look at pretty things like art, our brain’s reward system is turned on to give us a feeling of happiness. And it’s not just art—even staying in a pretty room can make us feel happier. When we feel happy, it 1 how we feel about other experiences, too. For example, studies have found that being in a bright, lively room makes food and drinks taste even 2 to us.
So it’s not surprising that one of the big home design trends on TikTok right now is “dopamine décor” (多巴胺装饰)—dopamine, one of our brain’s 3 chemicals (化学成分). It uses happy, cheerful colors and textures to make us feel good about 4 we are!
As Designer Joyce Huston said, “After going through COVID-19, people have developed a deeper understanding of how their 5 environments influence their moods.” Using dopamine décor to bring fun into your own home is easy, too. There aren’t real rules you need to follow, 6 here are some important things for you to think about and try.
First, it’s not necessary to change your 7 home. Start small by adding fun colors with small pieces of furniture, or by painting things like doors and shelves—either using many bright colors, or just the one you really 8 . Try putting different patterns (图案) on your walls with paint or wallpaper, or even just with picture frames. You could also 9 fun patterns into a room by using blankets, cushions and rugs(靠垫和地毯).
What matters most is that when you walk into a room, you 10 ! It makes all the small decoration efforts worth it.
1.A.means B.matches C.influences D.appears
2.A.worse B.better C.colder D.hotter
3.A.anger B.luck C.happiness D.sadness

5.A.factory B.office C.home D.classroom
6.A.or B.but C.so D.as
7.A.lonely B.small C.own D.whole
8.A.hate B.order C.like D.find
9.A.introduce B.break C.turn D.enter
10.A.surprise B.shout C.shake D.smile
【答案】
1.C 2.B 3.C 4.A 5.C 6.B 7.D 8.C 9.A 10.D
【导语】本文讲述了环境美学如何通过“多巴胺装饰”影响人们的情绪和体验,提倡用色彩和图案营造快乐的家居空间。
1.句意:当我们感到快乐时,它也会影响我们对其他体验的感受。
means意味着;matches匹配;influences影响;appears出现。根据“When we feel happy”及后文举例可知,快乐感会影响其他体验。故选C。
2.句意:研究发现,待在一个明亮、活泼的房间里会使食物和饮料尝起来更美味。
worse更糟;better更好;colder更冷;hotter更热。根据“makes food and drinks taste even”可知,快乐情绪应使体验变更好,所以是使食物和饮料尝起来更美味。故选B。
3.句意:所以,现在TikTok上最流行的家居设计潮流之一“多巴胺装饰”也就不足为奇了——多巴胺,我们大脑中一种能带来快乐的化学成分。
anger愤怒;luck运气;happiness快乐;sadness悲伤。根据“dopamine décor”及常识可知,多巴胺是带来快乐感的化学物质。故选C。
4.句意:它使用快乐、欢快的颜色和纹理,让我们对自己身处之处感觉良好!
where哪里;who谁;when何时;how如何。根据“about…we are”以及上下文语境可知,此处说的是让我们对自己所处的环境感觉良好,用where引导宾语从句。故选A。
5.句意:在经历了新冠肺炎疫情后,人们对他们的家庭环境如何影响他们的情绪有了更深刻的理解。
factory工厂;office办公室;home家;classroom教室。根据“bring fun into your own home”可知是家庭环境。故选C。
6.句意:没有真正需要遵守的规则,但这里有一些重要的事情供你思考和尝试。
or或者;but但是;so因此;as当。前后两句是转折关系,用but连接。故选B。
7.句意:首先,没有必要改变你整个家。
lonely孤独的;small小的;own自己的;whole整个的。根据“Start small”可知,此处建议不要一开始就改动整个家。故选D。
8.句意:从小的方面开始,用小块家具增添有趣的颜色,或者给门和架子刷漆——使用多种亮色,或者只用你真正喜欢的那一种。
hate讨厌;order命令;like喜欢;find找到。根据“the one you really”及上下文可知,此处应选择你喜欢的颜色。故选C。
9.句意:你也可以通过使用毯子、垫子和地毯将有趣的图案引入房间。
introduce引入;break打破;turn转变;enter进入。根据“fun patterns into a room”可知,是将图案引入房间。故选A。
10.句意:最重要的是,当你走进一个房间时,你会微笑!
surprise惊讶;shout喊叫;shake摇晃;smile微笑。根据“It makes all the small decoration efforts worth it”可知,装饰的目的是让人感到快乐,因此走进房间时会微笑。故选D。

Sleep is very important for our body and mind. It keeps us healthy and makes our study more effective. However, many students do not get enough sleep. They often stay up late using phones or playing games.
Good sleep improves our memory. When we sleep, our brain organizes the information we learn during the day. That is why students with enough sleep usually perform better in tests.
Sleep also helps the body grow and repair itself. Teenagers need more sleep than adults. Most young people need at least eight hours of sleep every night to keep energetic.
If you sleep badly, you will feel tired easily. You may become impatient and cannot focus in class. To sleep well, you should stop using electronic devices an hour before bedtime. Gentle music and light reading are also helpful.

As a student, you might find it hard to focus on your studies for a long time. Sometimes, you feel tired and can’t remember things well. The good news is that you can study smarter, not just longer. Here are some useful tips to help you.
Find a quiet place to study
A quiet environment helps you concentrate(集中注意力). It should be away from the TV and other noises. 1 Also, make sure your study area is tidy and has enough light. A comfortable chair and desk are important, too.
Take short breaks during study
Studying for hours without a rest is not a good idea. Your brain needs time to process information. 2 For example, after 45 minutes of study, you can take a 10-minute break. You can stand up, stretch, or drink some water.
Review what you have learned
Don’t just close your book after finishing your homework. 3 You can do this by making simple notes or telling the main points to yourself. Reviewing helps move knowledge from your short-term memory to your long-term memory.
Get enough sleep at night
When you are well-rested, you can think more clearly and remember things better. 4 So try to sleep for 8-9 hours each night. Staying up late to study might seem helpful, but it often makes you more tired the next day.
A.This will help you feel refreshed and focus better.
B.Spending a few minutes reviewing is very useful.
C.Turn off your phone so you won’t be disturbed(被打扰的).
D.Eating healthy food is also good for your brain.
E.It is much better to take short breaks between study sessions.
七、阅读理解。
People spend about one third of their lives sleeping, and during that time, most people experience strange and colorful dreams every night. But why do we dream? This question has interested scientists for hundreds of years, and they have done different kinds of research to look for a reasonable explanation.
Some scientists believe that dreams help our brain organize information. When we sleep, our mind deals with the things we see, hear and learn during the day. It connects new information with old memories properly. In this way, dreams are like a “cleaning and sorting (分类)” system (系统) for our memory, making our brain work more efficiently (高效地).
Others hold the opinion that dreams prepare us for real life. In dreams, we may face dangerous or difficult situations, which can help us practice and deal with problems better when we are awake. Some dreams also show our true feelings and unconscious (潜意识的) wishes that we may not notice or express in our daily life.
Although they have different ideas, they have found one thing in common: not all dreams have deep or special meanings. Sometimes, dreams are just caused by body tiredness or strange thoughts before going to bed. They may be meaningless and have no clear message at all.
Until now, scientists still do not have a final certain answer. They will keep studying the mystery of dreams. But there is no doubt that understanding dreams better may help humans know more about the secrets of the human mind and body.

Part 1: Read and Explore
Sleep is very important for our body and mind. It keeps us healthy and makes our study more effective. However, many students do not get enough sleep. They often stay up late using phones or playing games.
Good sleep improves our memory. When we sleep, our brain organizes the information we learn during the day. That is why students with enough sleep usually perform better in tests.
Sleep also helps the body grow and repair itself. Teenagers need more sleep than adults. Most young people need at least eight hours of sleep every night to keep energetic.
If you sleep badly, you will feel tired easily. You may become impatient and cannot focus in class. To sleep well, you should stop using electronic devices an hour before bedtime. Gentle music and light reading are also helpful.
