Raise your hands, please. Wow, there are a lot of hands. Doctors recommend that teens get at least eight to ten hours of sleep each night. However, in practice, many teens struggle to make IT. This is often due to a conflict between nature and modern life. During our teenage years, our body clocks tend to move forward. This natural change makes us want to go to sleep and wake up much later. However, as society usually demands we get up early, the key is finding a way to fall asleep earlier. Later on in the lesson will be talking about how stress and screen addiction can also impact our sleep. But first we're going to study the ten, three, two, one sleep role. This means that ten hours before bed, you stop drinking tea, coffee and other energy drinks. Your last meal of the day should be at least three hours before bed. Homework and other work should be completed at least two hours before bed. One hour before bed, you shut off all screens. These tips will help ready your body for sleep and help you drop off to sleep much more quickly. Good morning, everyone. It's time for our weekly health class.

Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
24. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name?
A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled.
25. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________.
A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert
C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work
26. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________.
A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution.
C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction.
C
Some people think they are immune to ads. They might not have heard of the mere exposure effect — a psychological phenomenon where we tend to like things the more we are exposed to them.
When we plot the mere exposure effect on a graph with preferences on one axis (轴) and repetitions on the other, we will see that it takes about 15 repeats for the effect to reach its full potential. If the exposure is too excessive (过度), people get annoyed. And if they didn’t like the thing initially, repeating it can make it worse.
There are two main explanations for the phenomenon. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could potentially harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad consequences, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual (知觉的) fluency. We are also hardwired to prefer simple things that take little mental load. Difficult tasks like figuring out something new take lots of attention and time, which is why we try to avoid them.
Known for discovering the effect was psychologist Robert Zajonc, who tested how subjects responded to specific symbols. A group of people were shown a series of random shapes which changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the subjects were asked which shapes they found most pleasing, they chose those to which they had been exposed the most often, even though they had no conscious awareness of that.
The results showed that changes in preferences caused by repeated exposures depend not on any prior subjective and conscious evaluations of the stimulus but rather on results from the objective history of exposures alone.
Now tell us what you think about ads. If mere exposure to them makes us like things we otherwise wouldn’t, should billboards (广告牌) be banned from the public area?
28. Which of the following graphs best illustrates the mere exposure effect?
A. B.
C. D.
29. According to Zajonc’s experiment, what drives changes in preferences?
A. Random variation. B. Objective analysis.
C. Subjective judgment. D. Subconscious familiarity.
30. Which activity shows the application of the mere exposure effect?
A. A novelist organizes a book signing event.
B. A game studio develops a challenging mode.
C. A singer buys hot recommendations on a music app.
D. A fashion brand reintroduces certain classic designs.
31. Why does the author mention ads at the end of the text?
A. To criticize fake advertising. B. To oppose outdoor advertising.
C. To point out the drawbacks of ads. D. To caution against the influence of ads.
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today?
“The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fuelling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.
A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fuelling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fuelling time or heavy loads.
The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.
32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S. roads today?
A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.
C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.
33. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Pessimistic. D. Indifferent.
34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage?
A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.
B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fuelling time.
C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.
D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.
35. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era
B. Why Are We Driving Electric Powered Cars?
C. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising
D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fuelling Station?

It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. ____36____
When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. ____37____
Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. ____38____ The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.
Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. ____39____ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.
____40____ Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.
What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower.
A. Higher education has achieved its true potential.
B. Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.
C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor.
D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.
E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.
F. They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.
G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.

Ursula has always called the beautiful small town of Beaverton her home. Although she’d had childhood ____41____ of exploring the world and studied international business with a desire to pursue a ____42____ in Toronto, finding a job proved more ____43____ than she’d expected.
“I decided that if nobody was going to ____44____ me, I would just create a job for myself,” says Ursula. She was born and raised on a large family farm, so the ____45____ of an agriculture tourism business came naturally to her and began to ____46____.
“I ____47____ the plan to my family, and asked if they could rent me a small 10 acres (英亩). They ____48____ at first, unwilling to take a risk, but I finally ____49____ to get the green light,” she says.

67. 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 familiar smell of garlic, soy sauce, and onion spread through the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s braised pan- fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Charis, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunch times resurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses, or stay away from me when I brought homemade Chinese food, tofu. I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in because she worried about my making new friends every time we moved. So for the remainder of middle school, my mom packed odorless (无味的) , non-Chinese fare like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush to get to her new job and packed me leftovers from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my bright lunch bag under my seat before anyone noticed the strong smell. I looked up to see the other girls at the table, opening their normal American lunches. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance, asked where my food was.
“I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she said, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — apparently Katrina was known to be the lunch scavenger.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右。
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I didn’t want to be rude to a new friend, so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag and unzipped it.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It took me a second to recognize that my homemade Chinese food was not being rejected.

【解析】
【原文】Good morning, everyone. It’s time for our weekly health class. How many of you feel tired all the time? Raise your hands, please. Wow, there are a lot of hands. Doctors recommend that teens get at least eight to 10 hours of sleep each night. However, in practice, many teens struggle to make it. This is often due to a conflict between nature and modern life. During our teenage years, our body clocks tend to move forward. This natural change makes us want to go to sleep and wake up much later. However, as society usually demands we get up early, the key is finding a way to fall asleep earlier. Later on in the lesson, we’ll be talking about how stress and screen addiction can also impact our sleep. But first we’re going to study the ten, three, two, one sleep rule. This means that 10 hours before bed, you stop drinking tea, coffee and other energy drinks. Your meal of the day should be at least three hours before bed. Homework and other work should be completed at least two hours before bed. One hour before bed, you shut off all screens. These tips will help ready your body for sleep and help you drop off to sleep much more quickly.

Sitting in the garden for my friend’s birthday. I felt a buzz (振动) in my pocket. My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…” and my vision blurred (模糊). The position—measuring soil quality in the Sahara Desert as part of an undergraduate research programme — had felt like the answer I had spent years looking for.
I had put so much time and emotional energy into applying, and I thought the rejection meant the end of the road for my science career.
So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all.
I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue.
When I applied to graduate school, I found three programmes promising to allow me to follow my desired research direction. And I applied with the same anxious excitement as before. When I was rejected from one that had seemed like a perfect fit, it was undoubtedly difficult. But this time I had the perspective (视角) to keep it from sending me into panic. It helped that in the end I was accepted into one of the other programmes I was also excited about.
Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them.
24. How did the author feel upon seeing the email sender’s name?
A. Anxious. B. Angry. C. Surprised. D. Settled.
25. After talking with Professor Devon, the author decided to ________.
A. criticise the review process B. stay longer in the Sahara Desert
C. apply to the original project again D. put his heart and soul into the lab work
26. According to the author, the project with the robotics professor was ________.
A. demanding B. inspiring C. misleading D. amusing
27. What can we learn from this passage?
A. An invitation is a reputation. B. An innovation is a resolution.
C. A rejection can be a redirection. D. A reflection can be a restriction.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会,告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“My heart raced when I saw the email sender’s name. The email started off: “Dear Mr Green, thank you for your interest” and “the review process took longer than expected.” It ended with “We are sorry to inform you…”and my vision blurred (模糊). (当我看到邮件发件人的名字时,我的心跳加速了。这封邮件是这样开头的:“亲爱的格林先生,感谢您的关注”,“审核过程比预期的要长。”信的结尾是“我们很抱歉地通知你……”,我的视线模糊了)”可知,收到的是被拒绝的邮件,所以推测作者在看到电子邮件发件人的名字时感到焦虑。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So I was shocked when, not long after the email, Professor Mary Devon, who was running the programme, invited me to observe the work being done in her lab. I jumped at the chance, and a few weeks later I was equally shocked—and overjoyed—when she invited me to talk with her about potential projects I could pursue in her lab. What she proposed didn’t seem as exciting as the original project I had applied to, but I was going to give it my all. (因此,当我收到这封邮件后不久,负责这个项目的玛丽·德文教授邀请我去她的实验室观察正在进行的工作时,我感到非常震惊。我欣然接受了这个机会,几周后,当她邀请我和她谈谈我可以在她的实验室里从事的潜在项目时,我同样感到震惊——同时也是欣喜若狂。她提出的建议似乎没有我最初申请的项目那么令人兴奋,但我打算全力以赴)”可知,与德文教授交谈后,作者决定全心全意地投入实验室工作。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I found myself working with a robotics professor on techniques for collecting data from the desert remotely. That project, which I could complete from my sofa instead of in the burning heat of the desert, not only survived the lockdown but worked where traditional methods didn’t. In the end, I had a new scientific interest to pursue. (我发现自己和一个机器人教授一起研究从沙漠中远程收集数据的技术。我可以在沙发上完成这个项目,而不是在沙漠的酷热中完成,它不仅在封锁期间幸存下来,而且在传统方法不奏效的地方也奏效了。最后,我有了新的科学兴趣去追求)”可推知,机器人学教授的项目很鼓舞人心。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Rather than setting plans in stone, I’ve learned that sometimes I need to take the opportunities that are offered, even if they don’t sound perfect at the time, and make the most of them. (我明白了有时候我需要抓住提供的机会,即使这些机会在当时听起来并不完美,也要充分利用,而不是一成不变地制定计划)”结合文章中作者结合自己被拒绝后得到了更好的职业发展机会,告诉我们最初的拒绝给予了更好的方向。故C选项“拒绝可以是重定向”最符合文章的主旨。故选C。

Some people think they are immune to ads. They might not have heard of the mere exposure effect — a psychological phenomenon where we tend to like things the more we are exposed to them.
When we plot the mere exposure effect on a graph with preferences on one axis (轴) and repetitions on the other, we will see that it takes about 15 repeats for the effect to reach its full potential. If the exposure is too excessive (过度), people get annoyed. And if they didn’t like the thing initially, repeating it can make it worse.
There are two main explanations for the phenomenon. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could potentially harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad consequences, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual (知觉的) fluency. We are also hardwired to prefer simple things that take little mental load. Difficult tasks like figuring out something new take lots of attention and time, which is why we try to avoid them.
Known for discovering the effect was psychologist Robert Zajonc, who tested how subjects responded to specific symbols. A group of people were shown a series of random shapes which changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the subjects were asked which shapes they found most pleasing, they chose those to which they had been exposed the most often, even though they had no conscious awareness of that.
The results showed that changes in preferences caused by repeated exposures depend not on any prior subjective and conscious evaluations of the stimulus but rather on results from the objective history of exposures alone.
Now tell us what you think about ads. If mere exposure to them makes us like things we otherwise wouldn’t, should billboards (广告牌) be banned from the public area?
28. Which of the following graphs best illustrates the mere exposure effect?
A. B.
C. D.
29. According to Zajonc’s experiment, what drives changes in preferences?
A. Random variation. B. Objective analysis.
C. Subjective judgment. D. Subconscious familiarity.
30. Which activity shows the application of the mere exposure effect?
A. A novelist organizes a book signing event.
B. A game studio develops a challenging mode.
C. A singer buys hot recommendations on a music app.
D. A fashion brand reintroduces certain classic designs.
31. Why does the author mention ads at the end of the text?
A. To criticize fake advertising. B. To oppose outdoor advertising.
C. To point out the drawbacks of ads. D. To caution against the influence of ads.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍单纯曝光效应,包括其原理、实验验证及在广告中的体现,最后提醒警惕广告影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“When we plot the mere exposure effect on a graph with preferences on one axis (轴) and repetitions on the other, we will see that it takes about 15 repeats for the effect to reach its full potential. If the exposure is too excessive (过度) , people get annoyed. And if they didn't like the thing initially, repeating it can make it worse.(当我们在一个以偏好为一个轴,重复次数为另一个轴的图表上绘制单纯曝光效应时,我们会看到大约需要重复15次这种效应才能充分发挥作用。如果曝光过于频繁,人们会感到厌烦。而且如果他们一开始就不喜欢某样东西,不断重复它会让情况变得更糟。)”可知,一开始随着重复次数增加,偏好会上升,到大约15次达到最大,之后过度曝光偏好会下降;而讨厌的情况下,不断重复它会让情况变得更糟。A 图符合这一变化趋势。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“A group of people were shown a series of random shapes which changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the subjects were asked which shapes they found most pleasing, they chose those to which they had been exposed the most often, even though they had no conscious awareness of that.(向一群人展示了一系列随机的形状,这些形状变化得非常快,以至于人们不可能注意到有些形状是重复的。当受试者被问及他们最喜欢哪些形状时,他们选择了那些他们接触最频繁的形状,尽管他们没有意识到这一点。)”以及第五段“The results showed that changes in preferences caused by repeated exposures depend not on any prior subjective and conscious evaluations of the stimulus but rather on results from the objective history of exposures alone.(结果表明,由重复曝光引起的偏好变化并不取决于对刺激的任何先前的主观和有意识的评估,而仅仅取决于客观的曝光历史结果。)”可知,是潜意识里的熟悉度驱动了偏好的变化,而不是随机变化、客观分析或主观判断。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“They might not have heard of the mere exposure effect—a psychological phenomenon where we tend to like things the more we are exposed to them.(他们可能没有听说过纯粹的暴露效应,这是一种心理现象,我们接触的东西越多,就越喜欢。)”可知,单纯曝光效应是指我们接触某事物越多就越倾向于喜欢它。所以C选项A singer buys hot recommendations on a music app.(一位歌手在音乐应用程序上购买热门推荐),通过在应用程序上不断地让用户看到推荐,也就是增加曝光次数,利用了单纯曝光效应让用户可能喜欢上歌手的歌曲。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Now tell us what you think about ads. If mere exposure to them makes us like things we otherwise wouldn't, should billboards (广告牌) be banned from the public area?(现在告诉我们你对广告的看法。如果仅仅是接触广告就能让我们喜欢上我们原本不会喜欢的东西,那么广告牌是否应该被禁止出现在公共区域呢?)”可知,作者提出这样的疑问,是在提醒人们要警惕广告仅仅通过曝光就对我们产生的影响,而不是批评虚假广告、反对户外广告或者指出广告的缺点。故选D。
D
Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today?
“The answer is simple: economics,” Sergey Paltsev, a senior scientist at the MIT Energy Initiative told Popular Science. Politicians and automakers once advocated the fuel cell, which turns the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to drive an electric motor, as the future of passenger automobiles, but the falling cost of batteries and a large number of electrical fuelling infrastructure (基础设施) have propelled battery-electric cars well into the lead.
A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development. The Department of Energy’s Alternative Fuels Data Center shows 55 public hydrogen fuelling station locations in the U.S. today, almost only in California, while more than 68,000 active public electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
“Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev. It turns out that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles have advantageous applications in medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks and aviation (航空). Besides, battery-electric vehicles can be problematic when you have problems with range or fuelling time or heavy loads.
The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable.
32. Why are hydrogen cars not commonly seen on U.S. roads today?
A. Lack of public awareness. B. Unavailability of hydrogen fuel.
C. Limited research and development. D. High costs and insufficient infrastructure.
33. What is Sergey Paltsev’s attitude towards hydrogen vehicles in the future?
A. Doubtful. B. Hopeful. C. Pessimistic. D. Indifferent.
34. What can be learned about hydrogen fuel-cell tech from the passage?
A. It is already cost-effective for passenger vehicles.
B. It fails to solve the problems with range or fuelling time.
C. It is practicable due to potential issues resulting from geopolitics.
D. It has unsatisfactory applications in heavy-duty trucks and aviation.
35. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Battery-Electric Vehicles: A Glorious Era
B. Why Are We Driving Electric Powered Cars?
C. Hydrogen Vehicles: Struggling Yet Promising
D. How to Build a Public Hydrogen Fuelling Station?
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要说明了氢燃料电池汽车虽已量产,但因成本高、加氢设施稀缺在美国十分少见。专家认为短期难普及,不过它适配重型运输,地缘风险也会让其未来具备发展价值。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“A big switch to hydrogen cars would require cost-cutting and enormous infrastructure development.(想要大规模普及氢燃料汽车,既要降低成本,还需投入巨额资金完善配套基础设施。)”可知,如今在美国的道路上很少见到氢能源汽车是因为成本高昂且基础设施不足。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Nothing is going to change next year, or probably not in the next five years, but there are brighter pathways for hydrogen vehicles,” said Paltsev.(“明年不会有任何改变,或者至少在接下来的五年内不会,但氢能源汽车的发展前景更加光明,”帕尔采夫说)”可知,谢尔盖·帕尔采夫对未来氢能源汽车充满希望。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The current impractical application of hydrogen passenger vehicles in places like the U.S. are not a reason to “just give up” on hydrogen fuel-cell tech. “We may need it for many other reasons in the future,” cautioned Paltsev, citing geopolitical issues as a factor that could disrupt access to raw materials for batteries, thus making hydrogen cars suddenly more economically workable. (目前在美国等地区氢能源乘用车的不切实际应用,并不能成为“放弃”氢燃料电池技术的理由。帕尔采夫警告称:“未来我们可能出于其他许多原因需要它。”他指出,地缘政治问题可能导致电池原材料供应受阻,从而使氢能源汽车突然在经济上更具可行性)”可知,因地缘政治可能带来的问题,使氢燃料电池技术具有可行性。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Hydrogen fuel-cell (氢燃料电池) vehicles aren’t just sources for science fiction or far-out experiments. Cars fueled by hydrogen, like the Toyota Mirai and Hyundai Nexo, are already here, and hydrogen fuel-cell technology is actively evolving and benefiting from billions of dollars in federal research. So then, why are hydrogen cars virtually non-existent on U.S. roads today?( 氢燃料电池汽车不仅仅是科幻小说或离奇实验的产物。像丰田Mirai和现代Nexo这样的氢能源汽车已经出现在路上,而氢燃料电池技术也在不断发展,并获得了数亿美元的联邦科研支持。那么,为什么如今美国道路上的氢能源汽车几乎不存在呢?)”结合文章主要说明了氢燃料电池汽车虽已量产,但因成本高、加氢设施稀缺在美国十分少见。专家认为短期难普及,不过它适配重型运输,地缘风险也会让其未来具备发展价值。可知,C选项“氢能车辆:艰难但充满希望”最符合文章标题。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。
It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision. ____36____
When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings. ____37____
Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. ____38____ The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.
Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding. ____39____ Research shows that the more time instructors spend on teaching, the lower their salary. What is the result? Many instructors continue to teach using traditional lectures, which lead to lower success rates.
____40____ Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.
What should students and their families do? They should give strong consideration to universities where high-quality teaching is valued, even though the schools may be ranked lower.
A. Higher education has achieved its true potential.
B. Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.
C. Quality teaching has been an important reputation-building factor.
D. However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.
E. Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.
F. They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.
G. In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. G 39. B 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何选择高校提供了一些建议。
【36题详解】
根据空前内容“It’s a joyful and stressful time of year in the United States for students and their families as they make decisions about where to attend college. Families often turn to rankings systems to help make a decision.(对于美国的学生和他们的家人来说,这是一年中既快乐又紧张的时刻,因为他们要决定去哪里上大学。家庭经常求助于排名系统来帮助做决定。)”可知,美国的学生和家人们在决定去哪儿上大学时,经常求助于排名系统。而根据下文第三段“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities. (最新的研究表明,排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”可推断出,本文主要讲述的是排名方面出现的问题。选项D“However, the rankings ignore a critical factor: the quality of teaching.(然而,排名忽略了一个关键因素:教学质量。)”延续上文内容,指出大学排名存在的问题;而根据下文内容也可以推断,排名中存在的问题是教学质量被忽略。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据空前内容“When I talk to families as a scholar of higher education, they’re often surprised that teaching excellence is not counted in rankings.(作为一名研究高等教育的学者,当我与一些家庭交谈时,他们常常惊讶地发现,优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名。)”可知,大学排名中优秀的教学水平并没有被纳入排名让人们觉得很惊讶。选项F“They’re even more surprised at how teaching is undervalued by universities.(更让他们惊讶的是,大学竟然低估了教学的价值。)”延续上文内容,指的都是大学排名忽略教学质量。其中“more surprised”和上文的“surprised”保持一致。故选F。
【38题详解】
空前内容“Emerging research suggests that courses in lower-ranked universities, on average, scored higher on teaching than courses in higher-ranked universities.(最新的研究表明,排名较低的大学的课程在教学方面的平均得分高于排名较高的大学的课程。)”以及空后内容“The absence of teaching excellence from the rankings is surprising given the link between high-quality teaching and student success. Quality teaching is one of the most important predictors of a wide range of college outcomes.(考虑到高质量教学与学生成功之间的联系,排名中没有优秀教学令人惊讶。优质教学是衡量大学成绩的最重要因素之一。)”讲述的都是大学排名中没有考虑到教学。选项G“In fact, universities often shift emphasis from teaching to other ranking factors.(事实上,大学经常把重点从教学转移到其他排名因素上。)”与上下文内容相一致,故选G。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Rankings, however, are only one reason why a low value is placed on teaching in higher education. Administrators often don’t view teaching excellence as a way to increase enrolment (注册) or funding.(然而,排名只是高等教育中对教学重视程度较低的一个原因。管理者通常不会将卓越的教学视为增加入学率或资金的一种方式。)”可知,上文分析了教学不被纳入排名的原因,该空应该讲其后果。选项B“Therefore, it’s not highly valued in hiring or promotion.(因此,它在招聘或晋升中不受重视。)”是上文内容的延续,正因为管理人员通常不把卓越的教学视为增加入学率或增加资金的一种方式,所以教学在招聘和晋升中不受重视。故选B。
【40题详解】
根据下文内容“Nevertheless, not much will change until schools with high-quality teaching are rewarded with more resources, higher rankings and increased enrolments. In the long term, universities, organisations that rank schools, and others should work to make teaching a valued, core part of the mission.(尽管如此,在拥有高质量教学的学校获得更多资源、更高排名和增加入学人数之前,不会有太大变化。从长远来看,大学、学校排名组织和其他机构应该努力使教学成为使命的一个有价值的核心部分。)”可知,此处算是站在大学的角度,提出如何把教学当成他们的首要核心任务。根据“Nevertheless”可知,空处内容和下文内容存在转折关系。选项E“Efforts to improve teaching at the university level have recently emerged.(在最近,努力改进教学水平的现象已经出现了。)”与下文形成转折,旨在说明,促使教学成为核心任务的艰巨性和重要性。故选E。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了来自成都的厨师陈宇在米兰开设餐厅,将中式红烧菜与意大利葡萄酒搭配,重塑当地餐饮习惯,通过地道中餐搭建起东西方文化交流桥梁的故事。
【56题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:来自成都的陈宇,已经成为重塑当地餐饮习惯的厨师之一。“one of + the + 可数名词复数”是固定结构,意为“……之一”,所以此处应用chef的复数形式。故填chefs。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他的餐厅位于米兰一个热闹街区的中心,面积不大但氛围浓厚,墙上挂满了中国各地美食的故事和照片。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“is”,所以此处应用locate的非谓语动词形式,因其与逻辑主语“his restaurant”之间为被动关系,所以应用其过去分词形式作状语,且位于句首首字母需大写。故填Located。
【58题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。根据语意可知,空格前“small in size (面积小)”与空格后“rich in atmosphere (氛围浓)”并列作表语,为转折关系,可用连词but或yet来连接。故填but/yet。
【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:食客们常常会惊讶于这些浓郁、层次丰富的味道与意大利葡萄酒搭配得如此和谐,营造出一种独特的东西方交融之美。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词“are ofen surprised by”,所以此处应用create的非谓语动词形式;上文的“these rich, layered flavors pair well with Italian wines”与“create”之间为逻辑上的主动关系,所以应用其现在分词形式作结果状语,表自然而然的结果。故填creating。
【60题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:一位常客说:“到目前为止,许多正宗的中国菜肴已经进入意大利和欧洲,为人们带来了更丰富的风味体验和文化感受,深受大家喜爱。”根据时间状语“So far (到目前为止)”和语境可知,此处表示到目前为止已经完成或发生的动作,应用现在完成时;主语“numerous authentic Chinese dishes”为复数,助动词用have。故填have made。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:同上。修饰动词“appreciate”,应用genuine的副词形式genuinely作状语,意为“真诚地;真正地”。故填genuinely。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词和语态。句意:陈宇解释说,像红烧肉这类菜肴,需要用小火慢炖,才能释放出其浓郁醇厚的风味,菜肴最后往往会带一丝甜味,来中和辣味。“allow sb./sth. to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“允许……做某事,使……能够……”;此处为被动语态be allowed to do,填不定式作主语补足语;根据语意可知,主语“Some dishes”与“cook”之间为逻辑上的被动关系,即被烹饪,所以应用动词cook的不定式的被动形式。故填to be cooked。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:一些美食博主不远万里穿越意大利,专程来品鉴他的菜单,他们表示中餐让他们领略到了全新的饮食方式。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是“Food bloggers”,指人;关系词位于介词“of”之后作宾语,应用关系代词whom来引导。故填whom。
【64题详解】
考查介词。句意:陈宇决心坚守传统风味的纯正性,他认为对自身文化的自信,自然会激发外国人的兴趣。“stay true to”为固定短语,意为“忠于;坚守”,符合语境。故填to。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意:另一位顾客说:“是时候向世界展示更多鲜活的中国传统了,让世界看到中国文化真正的深厚底蕴。”根据空格前的定冠词“the”和形容词“true”及空格后的“of Chinese culture”可知,此处应用rich的名词形式richness,意为“丰富;深厚底蕴”,为不可数名词。故填richness。

67. 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 familiar smell of garlic, soy sauce, and onion spread through the air as I opened my lunch bag to see what my mom had packed for me. On any other occasion, I would have been delighted to eat my mom’s braised pan- fried tofu: a Chinese dish that I often ate for dinner. But not today, the day a nice girl had invited me, the new girl at school, to sit with her friends during lunch.
“Charis, over here!” My new friend was waving her arms, trying to get my attention.
As I prepared to walk over to the table, memories of elementary and middle school lunch times resurfaced. I remembered my embarrassment as my friends would hold their noses, or stay away from me when I brought homemade Chinese food, tofu. I remembered how my embarrassment shifted to anger when I complained about the smell to my mom.
I had argued with my mom that I wanted “normal” food for lunch. I remembered the look on my mom’s face, a mix between disappointment and confusion. But I was determined and she gave in because she worried about my making new friends every time we moved. So for the remainder of middle school, my mom packed odorless (无味的) , non-Chinese fare like ham and cheese sandwiches. However, that day, she was in a rush to get to her new job and packed me leftovers from dinner.
As soon as I got to my new lunch table, I tried to hide my bright lunch bag under my seat before anyone noticed the strong smell. I looked up to see the other girls at the table, opening their normal American lunches. I sat quietly, trying not to be noticed when Katrina, a new acquaintance, asked where my food was.
“I’m not really hungry,” I replied in an insecure voice. But Katrina had already seen me carry my lunch so she said, “Then, I’ll eat it!” The other girls laughed — apparently Katrina was known to be the lunch scavenger.

【答案】 I didn’t want to be rude to a new friend, so I reluctantly dragged out my lunch bag and unzipped it. The moment I partially lifted the lid, I could practically taste the garlic and soy sauce. I expected them to turn away — and turn me away. What I did not expect was for Katrina to instantly grab a small piece of tofu and eat it ravenously. And I most certainly did not expect for her to encourage the rest of the table to try my lunch.
It took me a second to recognize that my homemade Chinese food was not being rejected. In fact, it had become a source of personal pride. My new friends were going on about how lucky I was that my mom took the time to prepare a cooked meal for me. They were enchanted by the fact that tofu could actually taste good. While I didn’t get to eat any of my mom’s pan-fried tofu, I was full of pride and gratitude. When I arrived home, my mom noticed that the container was empty, she hesitated before asking, “How was the food?” I paused a moment before I replied, “Perfect.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以“午餐便当”为线索展开,讲述了转学生Charis因曾被同学嘲笑中式便当,害怕新同学排斥,试图隐藏妈妈匆忙打包的中式豆腐便当,却被同学Katrina主动要求品尝的故事,展现了文化包容与友谊的温暖。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句“我不想对新朋友无礼,于是不情愿地掏出午餐袋,拉开了拉链。”可知,接下来可描写Charis打开便当后紧张不安的心理,Katrina主动品尝的举动,以及其他同学从好奇到尝试的反应,打破Charis的顾虑。
② 由第二段首句“我过了一会儿才意识到,我自制的中餐并没有被嫌弃。”可知,接下来可描写Charis的心理转变,同学们对中式便当的认可,以及Charis回家后与妈妈的互动,呼应前文对妈妈的愧疚与理解。
2. 续写线索:
不情愿打开便当——紧张等待同学反应——Katrina主动品尝并推荐——同学们纷纷尝试——Charis心理转变——回家向妈妈反馈——重拾对中式食物的认可、收获友谊
