【解析】
【原文】W: Today I’ll share with you my experience in the mountains. We started from a small village and climbed up to the top of White Mountain. More and more tourists would come in summer, so I wanted to enjoy the quiet natural beauty early. We set off at six in the morning. The road was rough, and we had to hold onto rocks to keep safe. Some of us felt tired easily, so we stopped to rest several times. Our bags were not heavy, but we still felt weak when we reached the middle station. We saw many strange birds and colorful flowers along the way. I took photos and wrote down what I saw in my notebook. I also worried about my teammates, especially when the weather became windy and cold. On the last leg of the trip, we found that our drinking water was running out. We thought we had prepared enough for the trip. Later, we realized that some of us drank more than needed. Some tourists passed by but they had no extra water. Then we met a local guide working as a park volunteer, and he gave us some clean water. In the end, we got to the top safely and went back home happily.

【导语】文章介绍了费城艺术博物馆的场馆、藏品、开放时间、门票及会员福利等信息。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Things to know”部分中The main building stands at the end of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. It houses one of the most comprehensive collections in the country, featuring some of the greatest holdings of American, Asian, and European art anywhere, which include important works by Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh.(主楼位于本杰明·富兰克林公园大道的尽头。它拥有全美最全面的藏品之一,藏有部分来自美国、亚洲和欧洲各地的最顶级藏品,其中包括莫奈、雷诺阿和梵高的重要作品。)”可知,在本杰明·富兰克林公园大道尽头的主楼有很多世界名画,结合地图位置可推断,③是主楼,适合欣赏名画。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Membership Benefits”部分中“Park for only $15 in the museum’s parking lot for up to five hours.(在博物馆停车场停车,5小时内仅需15美元。)”可知,会员在规定时间内停车费用为5小时内15美元,即在规定时间内停车费固定。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章从“Things to know(参观须知)”、“Essential Details(基本信息)”和“Membership Benefits(会员福利)”三个方面介绍了费城艺术博物馆的建筑分布、各场馆的开放时间、门票价格以及会员福利等信息,旨在向读者介绍该博物馆的基本情况。
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. A
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述了作者小时候对昆虫和自然的热爱。通过讲述个人成长故事,作者表达了他对昆虫与自然的热爱源于内在的好奇与主动观察,而非家庭遗传或环境的影响。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them.(如今,人们总是把一切归因于遗传;也就是说,我们从祖先那里继承了特殊的才能。我想讲讲我的故事,来说明我对昆虫的热爱并非来自任何一位祖先)”可知,作者通过讲述自己的家庭故事,想传达他对昆虫的天然热爱。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed.(我亲眼看到了!啊,多么奇妙的发现!在家里,我的祖母微笑着;其他人则笑了起来)”可知,作者发现用眼睛看见阳光后,祖母笑了,家里其他人也笑了。此处的“笑”并非赞同,而是一种觉得孩子天真、不值一提的反应。且根据第四段中的“I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter.(我没有告诉他们我的发现,唯恐再次听到同样的笑声)”可推知,上文的“笑”并非赞同。由此可见,作者家人对他的发现不予理会。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields.(后来,我上了学。那间屋子用途广泛:既是教室,又是厨房、卧室,甚至还有鸡舍和猪圈。我们的学习常常被小猪蹭腿、母鸡和小鸡的叫声,以及烹饪时的气味所打扰。但对动物和植物的热爱却自然而然地发展起来,这得益于乡村学校持续不断的活动——从我在书上研究鸽子,到收集蜗牛、捉青蛙,再到田野里欣赏甲虫)”可知,本段描述了学校环境的混乱,包括课堂失序、动物干扰、做饭气味干扰等。这说明学习环境十分嘈杂、充满干扰,对正常学习构成了障碍。即学校的描述暗示了环境远非理想。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Yet I began to observe as a baby. (然而,我还是婴儿时就开始观察了)”和“A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? (一个问题占据了我:我是用嘴巴还是用眼睛感知阳光?)”、第四段中“After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer — a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! (经过固执的观察,我抓住了那个歌唱者——一只蚂蚱!)”和第五段中“from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields. (从研究书上的鸽子,到收集蜗牛、抓青蛙,以及在田野里欣赏甲虫)”可知,作者小时候具有好奇心强、爱探究的品质。
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究表明猫与家中的人类和其他宠物之间可能有更深的情感联系,它们会在同伴或家中其他宠物死亡后表现出类似于人类的哀悼行为,但猫表现出的这种悲伤与人类的悲伤不同,而是以恐惧或焦虑等情绪对社会环境变化作出的反应。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“What it found was that cats responded to the loss in a way that looked strikingly similar to mourning.(研究发现,猫对损失的反应与哀悼惊人地相似。)”可知,研究发现猫对家中成员的离世作出的反应看起来与哀悼极为相似。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They surveyed 412 cat owners or caregivers, asking them how their cat reacted after the death of another pet in the house. Participants used a five-point scale to indicate changes in the cats’ behaviours in the days and weeks after the death. (他们调查了412名猫主人或看护者,询问他们的猫在家里另一只宠物死亡后的反应。参与者使用五分制来指示猫在死后几天和几周内的行为变化。)”可知,研究人员对412名养猫人士展开调查,询问他们在家中另一只宠物死后,他们的猫有何反应、行为有何变化,然后据此进行数据收集。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Still, Jennifer cautions that there could be other reasons for the changes in the behaviour besides cats’ grief. They might be eating more because they now have more access to the food bowl, or they might be playing less because they no longer have a playmate. (不过,珍妮弗提醒说,除了猫的悲伤之外,可能还有其他原因导致猫的行为变化。他们可能会吃得更多,因为他们现在有更多的机会接触到食物碗,或者他们可能会玩得更少,因为他们不再有玩伴。)”可知,猫的行为变化可能还有其他原因,比如因为更容易获取食物而吃得更多,但这一行为和悲伤无关。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But, she says, even if they do experience grief, it’s probably different from the kind that humans feel. It’s more likely they’re noticing that something has changed in their social environment, and they are responding to the change with feelings of fear or anxiety. (但是,她说,即使它们确实经历了悲伤,也可能与人类的感受不同。更有可能的是,他们注意到他们的社会环境发生了变化,他们对这种变化的反应是恐惧或焦虑。)”可知,珍妮弗认为猫的确有悲伤情绪,但这种情绪与人类的可能不同,猫之所以会有悲伤情绪可能是因为在其他宠物死亡后,它们注意到自己所处的社会环境发生了变化,并正在以悲伤和焦虑等情绪对这种变化作出反应。故选C。
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍康奈尔大学利用蘑菇菌丝体研发可感知环境的生物混合机器人。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“In designing the robots of tomorrow, engineers have gained many of their inspirations from the kingdom of creatures, with machines that mimic the way plants and animals move and sense their environment.(在设计未来的机器人时,工程师们从生物界汲取了大量灵感,造出了能够mimic动植物移动及感知环境方式的机器)”可知,工程师们汲取灵感模仿动植物来创造未来的机器人,画线词mimic意为“模仿,复制”,与“Copy”意思相同。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In a recent study, researchers at Cornell University have found that mycelia, the underground parts of mushrooms, have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs.(在最近的一项研究中,康奈尔大学的研究人员发现,蘑菇的地下部分菌丝体具备感知化学和生物信号并对多种输入作出反应的能力)”可知,菌丝体被用于机器人设计是因为其具备检测和响应能力。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“You have to have a background in mechanical engineering, electronics, some neurobiology (神经生物学), and even some kind of signal processing. All these fields come together to build this kind of system.(你必须具备机械工程、电子学、部分神经生物学甚至某种信号处理的背景。所有这些领域汇聚在一起才能构建这类系统)”可知,Shepherd强调了该过程需要多学科融合。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The potential for future robots could be to sense soil chemistry in row crops and decide when to add more fertilizer(未来机器人的潜在应用可能是感知大田作物的土壤化学成分,并决定何时增施肥料)”可知,未来的生物混合机器人可用于监测土壤状况。

【36题详解】
上文“Remembering things is an important function of our brain-if we can’t recall how to do something, we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we leave our car keys to how we walk.(记忆东西是我们大脑的一个重要功能——如果我们不能回忆起如何做事,我们就无法生存。如果你想一下,我们有很多事情要记住——从我们把车钥匙放在哪里到我们如何走路)”讲述了记忆的重要性以及我们需要记忆的事情之多。B选项“Maybe it’s no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful.(也许我们有时会健忘并不奇怪)”与上文构成转折关系,提出虽然记忆很重要,但有时候我们还是会忘记一些事情,进而引出文章关于“Why we forget?”的讨论,上下文语意衔接自然。故选B项。

This is called ‘The Doorway Effect’.(你有没有走进一个房间去拿东西,结果到了那里却忘了你想要什么?这被称为‘门口效应’)”举例说明了短期记忆有时也会让我们失望。C选项“But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down.(但有时甚至我们的短期记忆也会让我们失望)”是下文要举例证明的观点,上下文语意连贯。故选C项。

【40题详解】
上文“However, forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us.(然而,忘记并不总是一件坏事!如果我们记住周围世界的每一个细节,那就会浪费认知资源)”讲述了忘记的好处,即可以避免浪费认知资源。A选项“That’s something worth remembering!(这是值得记住的!)”总结上文,强调了忘记的好处是值得我们记住的,且该选项能够很好地总结全文。故选A项。

67:【答案】 The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?” We’d left it at the store! My heart sank as I remembered. “I’ll go back for it after school,” I promised.

Maya’s eyes sparkled with gratitude. “Thank you,” she whispered. From that day on, our friendship blossomed. We did everything that close friends did.

We started from a small village and climbed up to the top of White mountain. More, more and more tourists would come in summer, so I wanted to enjoy the quiet, natural beauty early. We set off at six in the morning. The road was rough and we had to hold on to rocks to keep safe. Some of us felt tired easily, so we stopped to rest several times. Our bags were not heavy, but we still felt weak. When we reach the middle station, we saw many strange birds and colorful flowers along the way. I took photos and roll down what I saw in my notebook. I also worried about my team mate, especially when the weather became windy and cold. On the last lack of the trip, we found that our drinking water was running out. We thought we had prepared enough for the trip. Later, we realize that some of us think more than needed. Some tours passed by, but they had no extra water. Then we met a local guide working at a park volunteer, and he gave us some clean water. In the end, we got to the top safely and went back home happily.

Nowadays, people lay everything to heredity (遗传); that is, we receive our special talents from our ancestors. I shall tell you my story to show that I did not inherit my passion for insects from any of them.
My mother’s parents did not care in the least about insects. The only attention my grandfather paid to an insect was to crush it under his foot. My illiterate (不识字的) grandmother would throw away a caterpillar in fright. My own parents did not inspire this love. My mother was illiterate; my father, slightly educated, was too busy for encouragement.
Yet I began to observe as a baby. One day, standing on the grassland, I was fascinated by the sun. A question possessed me: did I sense the sunlight with my mouth or my eyes? I opened my mouth and closed my eyes: glory disappeared. I opened my eyes and shut my mouth: glory returned. I saw with my eyes! Oh, what a discovery! At home, my grandmother smiled; the others laughed.
At nightfall, a faint jingle from the bushes attracted me. Who is making that noise? They spoke of a wolf, but I had to look. After a stubborn watch, I caught the singer — a grasshopper (蚂蚱)! I now knew, from personal observation, that the grasshopper sings. I did not tell them my discovery, for fear of the same laughter.
Later, I went to school. The room served every purpose; school, kitchen, bedroom, even a chicken house and a piggery. Our studies were constantly disturbed by little pigs rubbing (蹭) against our legs or by the hen and her chicks, or by the smells of cooking. But my passion for animals and plants progressed of itself, fueled by the country school’s continuous offerings — from studying the pigeon on my book to collecting snails, catching frogs, and admiring beetles in the fields.
Thus, in this chaos, the future observer taught himself.
24. What does the author intend to convey by telling his family story?
A. The hardship of rural life. B. His natural passion for insects.
C. His early education background. D. The influence of his family on him.
25. How did the author’s family react to his discovery about the sunlight?
A. They appreciated it. B. They questioned it.
C. They brushed it aside. D. They rejected it.
26. What does the description of the school suggest?
A. The environment was far from ideal. B. The students lacked interest in learning.
C. The animals became a threat to students. D. The school building was old and smelly.
27. What was the author like as a boy?
A. Inquiring. B. Encouraging. C. Troublesome. D. Ambitious.
C
Cats aren’t known for their sensitivity. But a new study published in the journal Applied Animal Behaviour Science suggests that our feline friends may care more about us and other pets in the house than we give them credit for. What it found was that cats responded to the loss in a way that looked strikingly similar to mourning.
To dig deeper into this phenomenon, a team led by psychologist Jennifer Vonk and her co-author Brittany Greene embarked on a comprehensive investigation. They surveyed 412 cat owners or caregivers, asking them how their cat reacted after the death of another pet in the house. Participants used a five-point scale to indicate changes in the cats’ behaviours in the days and weeks after the death. The recorded behaviours were numerous: altered sleep, eating and playing habits, increased vocalisation, spending more time alone, seeking human attention by sitting or lying near them, showing fear or curiosity, interacting with remaining pets, grooming changes, and even searching for the lost pet by sniffing its usual spots.
Respondents were also asked to describe the relationships between the cat and the deceased pet, as well as their own bonds and grief. This indicated that cats form connections and respond emotionally to loss.
It seems cats get sad when a companion dies, though it’s hard to prove this. Some cats changed their eating and playing habits. Others sought more human interaction. And some even searched the house for their missing family members, lingering around the places where they used to play or sleep. Still, Jennifer cautions that there could be other reasons for the changes in the behaviour besides cats’ grief. They might be eating more because they now have more access to the food bowl, or they might be playing less because they no longer have a playmate.
But, she says, even if they do experience grief, it’s probably different from the kind that humans feel. It’s more likely they’re noticing that something has changed in their social environment, and they are responding to the change with feelings of fear or anxiety.
28. What is the main finding of the study on cats?
A. Cats are very emotionally stable animals.
B. Cats react only by changing their eating habits.
C. Cats avoid interaction with humans after a pet dies.
D. Cats might display mourning behaviours like humans.
29. What was the method used by researchers to gather data?
A. Conducting interviews with professionals. B. Asking cat owners about their cats’ changes.
C. Studying the cats’ interactions with their owners. D. Observing the cats in a controlled environment.
30. According to the study, which of the following behaviours may be unrelated to grief?
A. Sitting or lying near humans. B. Seeking more interaction with humans.
C. Eating more when there is food around. D. Searching the house for the missing pet.
31. Why does Jennifer think cats react emotionally to another pet’s loss?
A. They are experiencing the same grief as humans.
B. They feel abandoned and fearful when left alone.
C. They respond to changes in their social environment.
D. They have developed strong friendships with other pets.
D
In designing the robots of tomorrow, engineers have gained many of their inspirations from the kingdom of creatures, with machines that mimic the way plants and animals move and sense their environment.
In a recent study, researchers at Cornell University have found that mycelia, the underground parts of mushrooms, have the ability to sense chemical and biological signals and respond to multiple inputs. By using the natural electrical signals of mycelia, the researchers found a new way to control biohybrid (生物混合) robots, which can react to their surroundings better than traditional man-made robots. With great efforts, two biohybrid robots were built: a soft robot shaped like a spider and a wheeled robot. The robots responded to mycelia’s signals by walking and rolling. They also changed their position in response to light, demonstrating the mycelia’s ability to react to outer influences.
However, finding a way to integrate mushrooms and robots requires more than just gardening and technical skills. “You have to have a background in mechanical engineering, electronics, some neurobiology (神经生物学), and even some kind of signal processing. All these fields come together to build this kind of system,” said Shepherd, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
“Living systems respond to touch, light, heat and even some unknowns, like signals. This is why we believe that if we want to build future robots, they must be able to work in unexpected environments,” said Mishra, a research associate in the Organic Robotics Lab of Cornell University. “By growing mycelia into the electronics of a robot, we were able to allow the biohybrid machine to sense and respond to the environment. In this case we used light as the input, but in the future it will be chemical. The potential for future robots could be to sense soil chemistry in row crops and decide when to add more fertilizer,” said Shepherd.
32. What does the underlined word “mimic” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Copy. B. Decide. C. Change. D. Control.
33. Why are mycelia used in robot design?
A. For their mushroom shape.
B. For their biological influences.
C. For their chemical properties.
D. For their detection and response abilities.
34. What does Shepherd emphasize about the process in paragraph 3?
A. Technical abilities. B. Subject integration.
C. Creative application. D. Scientific approaches.
35. Which can be the potential application for future biohybrid robots?
A. Replacing human roles. B. Designing electronic systems.
C. Monitoring soil condition. D. Strengthening unknown signals.

Why we forget?
Remembering things is an important function of our brain — if we can’t recall how to do something we can’t survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember — from where we leave our car keys to how we walk. ___36___
Memory allows the brain to store and recall information when required. Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time, while our long-term memory can hold an unlimited amount of information for a long time. Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things?
It maybe because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant at the time. When we do store information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. ___37___ It is also possible that memories decline over time. If you don’t perform a task for a long period of time, it can be difficult to recall how to do it. This could be because our memory is full,or that our short-term memory is easier to access.
___38___ Have you ever gone into a room to fetch something only to forget what you wanted when you got there? This is called “The Doorway Effect”. This occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about many different things.
So, if you have a mind like a sieve (筛子) ,it could be because you have too much on your mind. But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it. ___39___That’s when we’re at more risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease.
However, forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste cognitive resources if we remembered every detail of the world around us. ___40___
A. That’s something worth remembering!
B. Maybe it’s no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful.
C. But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down.
D. If you don’t have these connections, then it can be easier to forget.
E. However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved.
F. We also need some mental relaxation such as listening to some classical music.
G. Beyond our 50s, our brains tend to shrink in volume and our memory begins to decline.

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。
It was a rainy Tuesday. I stood at the bus stop, annoyed at myself for forgetting my umbrella. Just then, Maya - a quiet newcomer from our class - stepped under the small shelter. I’d always wanted to talk to her, but she seemed shy, often drawing in her notebook during class.
“Hi,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Rain’s bad, right?”
She looked a bit surprised, “Yeah, really bad.”
The bus stop was tiny, and the rain was pouring sideways, making our skirts wet. I checked and found the bus was late. When I told Maya the bad news, she glanced at her watch, “If I miss this one, I might not make it home.” Hesitating for a while, she suggested, “We should wait in the store over there. Want to share my umbrella?” I nodded. She smiled and opened her purple umbrella. There were patches (补丁) on it as if someone had fixed it many times. “Sorry, it’s old,” she said. “My grandma gave it to me and purple was her favorite.” “It looks cool,” I replied. We leaned under the umbrella together. Suddenly it flipped (迅速翻转) inside out in the wind and we burst out laughing.
When we reached the store, Maya shook off the umbrella and set it onto the stand by the door. Then she walked over, bought two hot chocolates, and handed me one. “My treat,” she said, wiping rain from her face. “For surviving the umbrella drama.”
We sat by the window, enjoying drinks and watching the rain. After a pause, I decided to break the silence and asked why she was always drawing in her notebook during class. Her eyes lit up and she pulled it from her bag. “Want to see?” She flipped through a few pages, showing me her pictures inspired by small special things. “You make boring stuff magical,” I said admiringly. She laughed, and for a moment, it felt like we’d known each other longer than just one rainy afternoon.
The rain stopped. A distant honk (喇叭声) made us look up. “The bus!” I shouted. We grabbed our things and ran like crazy.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The moment we took seats, Maya whispered, “Wait ... where’s my umbrella?”
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day I walked into the classroom and handed the umbrella to Maya.
