阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Leaves will soon make their gradual change to vivid colors of yellow, orange and red as we head through the fall months, but when you can usually expect peak color to arrive depends on where you live.
When Will Fall Leaves Peak For You?
— Late September or Early October: The Rockies, the northern parts of Minnesota through Michigan and a stretch from upstate New York to northern New England see peak color first.
— Mid to Late October: Potential for peak fall color advances through the Midwest into the Appalachians and much of the Northeast in mid to late October. Most other areas in the western region, including valleys, see fall’s brightest color by this time of year as well.
— November: Much of the mid-Atlantic coast and the South are the last holdouts to see peak color in November.
Why Do Leaves Change Color?
A shorter amount of daylight is the primary factor for the color of the leaves to begin to change. As nights grow longer and cooler, production of the green pigment (色素) slows and eventually stops. This allows the yellow and orange pigments to shine through, revealing the many beautiful colors of fall.
What Makes A Good Colorful Season?
Location matters:
Higher altitudes and northern latitudes cool first, causing earlier color changes.
Weather’s role:
The perfect recipe includes warm, sunny days paired with cool nighttime temperatures.
Soil moisture (湿度):
Sufficient soil moisture through spring and summer can help increase the chances of the colorful leaves.
Wind warning:
If a strong windstorm affects an area that’s near peak color, then it can tear off leaves from trees to some extent, reducing the display of peak color.
So grab your camera, plan your trip, and get ready for nature’s colorful delight!
1. When can you enjoy peak fall color in valleys of the western region?
A. Late September. B. Early October. C. Late October. D. Mid November.
2. What mainly causes the change of leaf colors?
A. Rainy nights in autumn. B. Reduced daylight hours.
C. Uncovered pigments. D. Rising temperature.
3. What may ruin the full display of peak color?
A. The wet soil. B. The tree species.
C. The hot summer. D. The severe storm.
B
37-year-old Swedish actor Timothy Pilotti uses physical comedy to bring cultural exchanges to the stage. Peking Opera has been a game changer for him, which led him to China and shaped his enthusiasm for cultural exchanges.
Pilotti had a childhood love for a Chinese film. “His films blended a lot of acrobatics (杂技) and comedy into the fight scenes,” Pilotti says. Unlike kung fu, primarily a martial art, Peking Opera caught his opinion as a theatrical form designed for the stage with a unique way of moving and fighting.
Pilotti decided to become an actor at an early age, studying at acting schools and majoring in physical theater at a Finnish university. During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months.
Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through strict teaching and setting high standards.
Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangible characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.”
“My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says.
4. What can we know about Peking Opera and Pilotti from the text?
A. Peking Opera is a martial art in Pilotti’s eyes.
B. Peking Opera completely changed Pilotti’s life.
C. Pilotti didn’t like Peking Opera at all as a child.
D. Pilotti grew up with a Peking Opera background.
5. What did Pilotti mean by saying “it was a no-brainer” in paragraph 3?
A. It was a tough decision because he lacked Chinese skills.
B. It was an obvious choice as he dreamed of going to China.
C. He made the decision without any prior knowledge of China.
D. It required extensive brainpower to understand Peking Opera.
6. What kind of person is Pilotti?
A. Original and devoted B. Adaptable and strict.
C. Passionate and considerate D. Committed and conventional.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Monkey King: A Huge Success
B. A Swede Acts on Passion for Peking Opera
C. A Swede’s Journey into Chinese Martial Arts
D. Pilotti’s Childhood Dream: From Finland to China
C
Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people’s brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food.
Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast — not eat anything at all — for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn’t see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren’t even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.
At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.
The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren’t hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience.
8. How does Tomova test out the result of the study?
A. By stimulating desire. B. By controlling blood flow.
C. By monitoring brain activity. D. By examining mental activities.
9. What do we know about midbrain?
A. It consists of two areas. B. it helps motivate desire for food.
C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends.
10. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity.
C. A volunteer. D. A hamburger.
11. According to the study, what similarity is found between hunger and loneliness?
A. They both reduce dopamine production in the midbrain.
B. They can be relieved equally by viewing pictures of food.
C. They cause the brain to respond more strongly to what is missed.
D. They lead to decreased interest in social activities.
D
There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways — for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy.
Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.
In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy (狂喜) at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while
fear and surprise together can create awe.
Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, empathy (同理心), and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.
Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception (感知). But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection.
— Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed
12. Why does the writer mention colour theory?
A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work.
B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions.
C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words.
D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions.
13. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. Love is one of the most important emotions.
B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together.
C. Empathy can be a mixture of basic emotions.
D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity.
14. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences.
B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea.
C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions.
D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality.
15. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”?
A. Emotions are created by external events.
B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts.
C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us.
D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking.

During the third year in university, he got the first opportunity to study Peking Opera in China. “Some of my classmates went to India, for example, but my dream was to go to China — it was a no-brainer,” he says. In 2009, he and two other students arrived at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts in Beijing to study Peking Opera for six months.
Although he had no Chinese language skills or background in Peking Opera, teachers from the academy helped him grasp the essence of the performing art form through strict teaching and setting high standards.
Traditional Chinese stories enlighten Pilotti. He has created two theatre pieces in recent years, including a story about the Monkey King, the omnipotent (全能的) character from the novel Journey to the West. In the Monkey King, Pilotti embodies the character’s tangible characteristics through Peking Opera movements, inspiring his young audience members to be themselves. “The Monkey King is a famous character with many adaptations, so the kids already know a bit about him. But, when they can see the character closely in the show, it can be a surprise.”
“My dream now is to do more cultural exchanges and maybe create a show where Chinese Peking Opera and Swedish actors perform together.” Pilotti says.

C
Just as a hungry brain craves (渴望) food, a lonely brain craves people. A new brain study demonstrates this. After being left alone, it shows people’s brains would be activated at the sight of other people. The action was in the same brain region that speeds up when a hungry person sees food.
Livia Tomova, a neuroscientist, who studies how the brain produces mental activities, and her colleagues began this study. They recruited 40 people. On one day, the participants had to fast — not eat anything at all — for 10 hours. On another day, the same people were placed in a room for 10 hours. They couldn’t see anyone. No friends, no family and no social media. They weren’t even allowed to check their email. After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.
At the end of each day, the participants showed high activity in a brain area called the midbrain. The scientists were interested in two, small areas within it. Both areas produce dopamine, a chemical that is important in craving and rewards. The two areas activated when hungry participants saw pictures of tasty pizza or juicy hamburgers. After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.
The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends. In fact, it responds to food and social signals even when people aren’t hungry or lonely. But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain. Tomova and her colleagues published their results November 23 in Nature Neuroscience.
8. How does Tomova test out the result of the study?
A. By stimulating desire. B. By controlling blood flow.
C. By monitoring brain activity. D. By examining mental activities.
9. What do we know about midbrain?
A. It consists of two areas. B. it helps motivate desire for food.
C. It stops working when people are full. D. It decreases responses to lost friends.
10. What does the underlined “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A midbrain area. B. A social activity.
C. A volunteer. D. A hamburger.
11. According to the study, what similarity is found between hunger and loneliness?
A. They both reduce dopamine production in the midbrain.
B. They can be relieved equally by viewing pictures of food.
C. They cause the brain to respond more strongly to what is missed.
D. They lead to decreased interest in social activities.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项神经科学研究,该研究通过脑部扫描发现,人在饥饿时看到食物和人在孤独时看到社交活动,大脑中相同的区域(中脑)会被激活,且渴望越强烈,该区域活动越活跃,揭示了饥饿和孤独在神经机制上的相似性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“After both days, Tomova and her colleagues put the people in a MRI machine. It shows activity in the brain by tracking how much blood is flowing to each region.(两天的实验结束后,Tomova和她的同事们将参与者送入核磁共振扫描仪中。该设备通过追踪流向大脑各个区域的血流量来显示大脑活动。)”可知,在受试者禁食和隔离后,将其放入“MRI机器”中,通过追踪血流来监测大脑活动。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The midbrain plays an important part in people’s motivation to seek food or friends.(中脑在人们寻求食物或朋友的动机中起着重要作用。)”可知,中脑有助于激发对食物的渴望。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“After the volunteers had been isolated, those brain areas became active when they saw social activities they missed. It might be playing sports or chatting with friends.(在志愿者经历独处隔离后,当他们看到自己想念的社交活动时,这些脑区同样会变得活跃。It可能是运动或与朋友聊天。)”可知,划线词“it”指代上文提到的social activities(社交活动),且下文“playing sports or chatting”是具体举例说明。选项B“A social activity(一项社交活动)”符合题意。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But hunger and loneliness increased the reactions and made people’s responses specific to the thing they were missing. And the more hunger or isolation the volunteers said they were experiencing, the stronger the activity in this part of the brain.(但饥饿和孤独会增强这些反应,并使人们的反应专门针对他们所缺失的事物。而且志愿者自述感受到的饥饿或孤独感越强,大脑这一区域的活动就越强烈。)”可知,饥饿和孤独都会增强大脑对缺失事物的反应,且感受越强烈,大脑活动越活跃,这是两者的共同点。故选C。
D
There are between 6 and 8 basic human emotions, or so most theories suggest. Psychologist Paul Ekman lists joy, sadness, anger, fear, disgust, and surprise, while psychologist Robert Plutchik adds trust and anticipation to the mix. These basic emotions can be combined in multiple ways — for example, fear plus joy, the combination of two contrasting emotions, creates excitement. Consider the feeling of waiting in line for a roller coaster ride: your heart races with both fear and joy.
Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple. When these mix further, we get in-between tones such as red-orange or yellow-orange, often given more vivid names like scarlet or amber.
In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). Each primary emotion has three levels of intensity. Joy, for instance, can range from serenity at low intensity, to joy, and finally to ecstasy (狂喜) at its peak. Anger can similarly range from mild annoyance, through anger itself, to full-blown rage — the emotional equivalent of fire-engine red. The ‘spaces’ between primary emotions are filled by mixtures of two emotions: joy combined with trust produces love (much like red and yellow make orange), while
fear and surprise together can create awe.
Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. Just as an artist carefully brings together different shades when creating an artwork, our lives, too, are shaped by emotional combinations. By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, empathy (同理心), and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life.
Emotions can hijack our minds. They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception (感知). But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. But we also develop complex emotions that mix these basic ones. And importantly, we can learn to recognise the micro-expressions and tiny hints on people’s faces to understand their emotional states. This is not just useful — it carries moral significance. Being emotionally literate increases our capacity for understanding, and peaceful coexistence. Emotional awareness, then, is not only about control but about connection.
— Paul Ekman, Emotions Revealed
12. Why does the writer mention colour theory?
A. To explain how artists use emotion in their work.
B. To illustrate the principle behind the Wheel of Emotions.
C. To show that colours can express feelings better than words.
D. To compare artistic and scientific ways of understanding emotions.
13. Which statement is most probably true according to Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. Love is one of the most important emotions.
B. Opposite emotions can hardly happen together.
C. Empathy can be a mixture of basic emotions.
D. Primary emotions occur at a fixed level of intensity.
14. How does the writer comment on Plutchik’s theory of emotions?
A. It fails to connect emotions with real-life experiences.
B. It downplays emotional complexity but conveys a key idea.
C. It provides a detailed and scientific explanation of emotions.
D. It focuses more on artistic imagery than on emotional reality.
15. What does Paul Ekman mean by “Emotions can hijack our minds”?
A. Emotions are created by external events.
B. Emotions are separate from our thoughts.
C. Emotions can momentarily take control of us.
D. Emotions can be controlled through logical thinking.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍心理学家普拉切克借鉴色轮提出情绪轮理论,阐述情绪的组合、强度特点与情绪认知的现实意义。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Emotions can mix or contrast much like colours in art. Primary colours such as red, yellow, and blue combine to form new shades like orange, green, or purple.( 情绪可以交融或是对立,就如同艺术中的色彩一般。红、黄、蓝这类原色相互结合,能够形成橙色、绿色、紫色等新色调。)”以及第三段中的“In 1962, Plutchik went so far as to arrange his eight primary emotions on a wheel, inspired by the colour wheel, placing contrasting emotions opposite each other (joy opposite sadness; surprise opposite anticipation). (1962 年,受色轮启发,普拉切克甚至把他提出的八种基础情绪排布在一个轮盘上,将相互对立的情绪两两相对摆放(喜悦对悲伤;惊讶对期待)。)”可知,作者借用色彩理论,用来阐释情绪轮背后情绪混合、对立的构造原理。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum, vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states.(尽管普拉切克的“情绪轮”或许略显简单,但其着重表明情绪存在于一个连续谱内、强度各不相同,且常常以复杂组合形式出现,而非孤立的状态。)”以及“By consciously adding more positive emotions — like serenity, empathy (同理心), and interest — we not only increase our capacity for joy, optimism, and love, but we can also soften the intensity of the less favourable emotions that we experience in life. (通过有意识地增添更多积极情绪,例如平静、同理心与兴趣,我们不仅能够提升感受喜悦、乐观与爱意的能力,还可以弱化生活中消极情绪的强烈程度。)”可知,同理心是基础情绪融合而来。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Although Plutchik’s ‘Wheel of Emotions’ may be somewhat simplistic, it underscores that emotions exist along a spectrum (光谱), vary in intensity, and often occur in complex combinations rather than as isolated states. (尽管普拉切克的“情绪轮”或许略显简单,但其着重表明情绪存在于一个连续谱内、强度各不相同,且常常以复杂组合形式出现,而非孤立的状态。)”可知,该理论弱化了情绪的复杂细节,但传递出情绪变化与组合的核心观点。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“They prepare us for action, and they neighbour our perception (感知). But they also reveal what matters to us most. […] The basic emotions — anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise, and happiness — are universal, recognisable across cultures and even species. They are short-lasting but powerful, automatic responses that help us deal with our social world. (情绪促使我们付诸行动,也会影响我们的感知。同时,情绪也显露着我们内心最看重的事物…… 基础情绪包含愤怒、恐惧、悲伤、厌恶、惊讶与喜悦,属于人类共通的本能,在不同文化、甚至不同物种之间都能够被辨识。它们短暂却强劲,是下意识的反应,帮助我们应对社会人际交往。)”可知,情绪爆发时会产生强烈的本能反应,在短时间内压制理性思考、掌控人的思想与行为,因此这句话指情绪会短暂掌控人的思想与行为。
