Yuanshan Education Foundation
The Mission
Education is a fundamental way to change the future. Yuanshan Education Foundation in Beijing, China is a non-public foundation, providing special STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) courses and other high-quality educational resources to primary school students in rural China.
The foundation aims to develop the students’ learning capacity and interest in STEM, being committed to using technology to promote the balanced development of education for the students in rural areas through the Internet.
The Project Details
We independently develop STEM courses through our project. It adopts the co-teacher teaching mode, which allows an expert teacher to give live STEM lessons online, and a local teacher to assist the class and guide the students offline. The courses start with the most urgently needed subjects in the countryside.
The project will carry out 12 STEM courses in a semester and provide rural students with experiment materials (four students share one experiment kit). In the class, guided by the two teachers, students will learn knowledge in engineering, architecture, transportation, media, and so on through an experimental approach, which will create their interest in STEM subjects and improve their learning capacities. At the same time, various STEM competitions will be held for students.

A book fair is an event where different types of books are displayed and sold. I, a curious boy, visited the Ekushey Boi Mela this year. It is one of the biggest book fairs in Bangladesh, usually held in February. On the very first day, I walked over to visit the exhibition immediately after school. I entered the fair and began to move from one stall (摊位) to another with great interest.
There were many people at the exhibition. Most were school children like me. I saw all sorts of books such as fiction, textbooks, dramas, children’s books, and reference books. One good thing about exhibitions is that they usually offer free gifts. This exhibition was no different. Men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds gathered there. At a counter near the entrance, I registered to be a member of the book shop and I received a small calculator as a gift.
Inside the main hall, I was amazed by the number of books on display. There were books on computers, science, technology, music, cookery, travel, business, self-help, and general interests. Other items on display included encyclopedias, maps, novels, magazines, and even greeting cards. In addition, there was a huge collection of dictionaries. Also available were computer software, CDs, and other digital media.
Next, I moved on to less crowded areas and looked at the books. There were many that I would love to get my hands on but my financial status did not allow it. So I looked through as many as I could. In that way, I happily whiled away a whole afternoon. I enjoyed my visit to the book fair very much. It reminded me of the simple joy of reading.

According to an official report, with more than 40% of US teenagers reporting ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness, Dr Kenneth Barish, a child psychologist, believes grandparents may be an important part of the solution. He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health.
“We did not evolve to raise children with as little extended family and community support as most American parents have now,” says Dr Barish. “Children need grandparents, and they always have.”
In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges.
Dr Barish says grandparents offer more than just practical support for parents. They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”.
“A child’s confident expectation that someone will listen and understand is the best protection against the emotional pathogens (病原体) they will experience throughout their childhood. More than anything else, children need someone in their life who listens, who helps them feel less alone, and who teaches them that problems can be solved, relationships can be repaired, and bad feelings do not last forever,” Dr Barish explains.
Ultimately, Dr Barish argues, “Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. Our children will then work harder, bounce back more quickly, show more caring and kindness toward others, and pursue interests with greater enthusiasm, commitment, and a sense of purpose.”
8. What does Dr Barish think contribute to the ongoing crisis in child mental health?
A. Growing bonds between generations.
B. Reduced family and neighbor assistance.
C. Insufficient community support for parents.
D. Less participation from relatives in raising kids.
9. What lays the foundation of Dr Barish’s new book?
A. His family upbringing and observations of child behavior.
B. His clinical records and data from brain science research.
C. His four-decade practice and findings from related fields.
D. His professional background and modern educational theories.
10. Which can be the molecules of emotional health?
A. Small acts of emotional care. B. Expensive gifts for children.
C. Strict rules for behavior. D. Physical medicines for health.
11. What is crucial for children to thrive according to the last paragraph?
A. Mastering specific skills. B. Pursuing personal interests.
C. Showing caring toward others. D. Developing emotional intelligence.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述儿童心理学家Kenneth Barish博士指出,扩大家庭参与度下降是美国青少年心理健康危机的诱因之一。他在新书中结合40年临床经验与多领域研究成果,提出祖父母可通过给予孩子鼓励、关注与理解这类细碎的情感关怀,筑牢孩子的情绪“防护屏障”,而助力孩子茁壮成长的核心是培养情绪力量、自信心与良性人际关系。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。文章第一段中“He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health. (他表示,扩大家庭成员参与度下降已被视为导致儿童和青少年心理健康持续危机的一个因素。)”明确指出,Dr Barish认为大家族参与度的下降(decline of extended family involvement)是导致青少年心理健康危机的一个因素。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。第三段“In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges. (在新书中,Barish博士结合了40年的临床经验,以及神经科学、儿童发展研究和教育项目的研究成果,提出祖父母可以在帮助家庭应对当今育儿挑战方面发挥重要作用。)”提到,Dr Barish的新书基于他40年的临床经验以及神经科学、儿童发展研究和教育项目的发现。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”. (他们还提供了他所描述的“情感健康分子”——那些虽小却意义深远的鼓励、关注和理解时刻,有助于增强儿童的“情感免疫系统”。)”可知,情感健康分子是小而有力的情感关怀时刻。选项A“Small acts of emotional care (细微的情感关怀)”与此一致。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。最后一段中“Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. (帮助孩子茁壮成长,与其说依赖教授特定技能,不如说更在于培养他们的情感力量、自信心以及有意义的人际关系。)”强调,帮助孩子茁壮成长的关键在于培养情感力量、自信和有意义的关系,而非教授具体技能。选项D“Developing emotional intelligence”(发展情感智力)概括了这些核心要素。
D
Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. Positive tipping points in human societies and economies can bring about rapid reductions in emissions and other environmental harm, even as climate breakdown becomes increasingly damaging and dangerous.
Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil-fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future.
“The global economy is decarbonising (脱去……的碳) at least five times too slowly to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2℃,” said Professor Tim Lenton, from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “The challenge now is to identify potential positive tipping points, and the actions that can bring them forward — while avoiding wishful thinking about their existence, or oversimplification of their nature, drivers and impacts.”
The paper sets out a method for identifying positive tipping points, assessing their proximity, identifying the factors that can influence them, and the actions that can lead to them. This includes looking for evidence that a system, or a similar system, has “tipped” in the past.
Another factor is whether there is potential for “self-pushing uptake” of zero-or low-carbon behaviors. For example, as more people buy electric cars, the performance, price and infrastructure improve — making it easier for others to follow, and therefore accelerating the transition.
“We know positive tipping can happen in sectors such as power and road transport,” said Dr Steve Smith, also from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.”
12. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By raising a question. B. By defining a key concept.
C. By listing specific data. D. By telling a personal story.
13. What is the current situation of positive tipping points?
A. They remain purely theoretical at present.
B. They are too slow to affect global warming.
C. They have occurred in some areas already.
D. They are happening in all economic sectors.
14. What is Dr Steve’s attitude to the tipping points of nuclear power?
A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Role of Electric Vehicles in Climate Action
B. The Way to Decarbonise the Global Economy Rapidly
C. Challenges of Reaching Environmental Tipping Points
D. Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍专家提出要寻找“正向临界点”助力绿色转型,阐释其概念、识别方法以及不同领域的现实情况。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation.(临界点是一个阈值,微小变化可引发重大且往往不可逆转的转变。)”可知,作者通过对核心概念下定义的方式引出文章话题。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil‑fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future.(一些积极的临界点正在发生 —— 太阳能与电动汽车正在迅速取代化石燃料驱动的同类产品 —— 但还需要更多此类临界点,才能保障一个可持续的未来。)”可知,正向临界点已经在部分领域发生。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的“In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.(在其他行业,几乎没有接近临界点的迹象,而在少数领域,例如核能和混凝土生产,我们压根不应该指望会存在临界点。)”可知,史蒂夫博士认为核能领域不会出现临界点,对此持否定态度。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper.(专家呼吁全球共同努力识别“正向临界点”以加速绿色转型,并在一篇新学术论文中设计出识别该临界点的方法。)”可知,文章围绕识别绿色转型的正向临界点展开,介绍正向临界点的含义、现实案例、识别方式和各行业的不同现状,因此“Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition(识别绿色转型的积极临界点)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you noticed how often you forget even simple things and instantly reach for your phone to check them? In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping. ____16____
American psychologists once published an article in Science. ____17____ In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory.
People who thought the information would be saved remembered less than those who believed it would be lost. ____18____ If the brain knows that important information can be obtained from external storage, it sees no reason to waste energy trying to memorize it.
Neuroscientists argue that the strength of memory is directly linked to how often we review what we memorize. ____19____ At the same time, the rise of search engines and quick access to knowledge have made turning to our own memories less necessary. Why make the effort to remember something when online search tools can find the exact answer in a second?
____20____ It moves some knowledge outside and makes information available with a single click. However, the strength of the human mind does not lie in the amount of data we memorize. True intelligence lies in the ability to ask questions, understand connections, doubt, seek evidence, and create something new.
A. The logic is quite clear.
B. They studied how technology affects memory.
C. This phenomenon is called the online search effect.
D. We tend to ignore how digital storage shapes our memory.
E. Online tools bring us easy access to unnecessary information in the world.
F. The more frequently you recall a piece of information, the better it is stored.
G. If used wisely, the Internet is not the enemy of memory, but a powerful tool.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述“在线搜索效应”——人们因过度依赖互联网和搜索引擎查找信息而导致自身记忆力下降的现象。
【16题详解】
空前“In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping.(在这个答案几秒钟就能出现的世界里,我们的记忆开始以不同的方式运作。日期、事实、电话号码,甚至个人回忆,都交由设备来妥善保存)”列举了人们依赖电子设备存储信息、自身记忆功能发生变化的现象,C选项“这种现象被称为在线搜索效应”对前文现象进行定义总结,衔接自然。
【17题详解】
空后“In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory.(在一项实验中,参与者被要求阅读并输入40条有趣的事实。一半的参与者被告知这些事实将被保存在电脑上,而另一半则被告知这些事实会被删除。随后,每个人都被要求尽可能多地从记忆中写下这些事实)”介绍了相关实验的内容,B选项“他们研究科技如何影响记忆”承接前文中美国心理学家发布研究的背景,引出后续实验说明。
【18题详解】
空后“If the brain knows that important information can be obtained from external storage, it sees no reason to waste energy trying to memorize it.(如果大脑知道可以从外部存储中获取重要信息,它就不会有理由浪费能量去试图记忆这些信息)”解释了大脑认为可从外部存储获取信息就不会浪费精力去记忆的原理,A选项“逻辑十分清晰”承上启下,对前文实验结果做过渡引出原理阐释。
【19题详解】
空前“Neuroscientists argue that the strength of memory is directly linked to how often we review what we memorize.(神经科学家认为,记忆的强度与我们复习所记忆内容的频率直接相关)”提到神经科学家的看法——记忆强度和复习记忆内容的频率直接相关,F选项“你越频繁回忆某条信息,它的存储效果就越好”是对该观点的直接呼应补充。
【20题详解】
空后“It moves some knowledge outside and makes information available with a single click. However, the strength of the human mind does not lie in the amount of data we memorize.(它将一些知识存储在外部,只需一次点击即可获取信息。然而,人类思维的力量并不在于我们记住的数据量)”介绍了数字工具将信息外置、点击即可获取的特点,同时点明人类智慧的核心不在于记忆数据量,G选项“如果合理使用,互联网不是记忆的敌人,而是强大的工具”引出对互联网作用的辩证讨论,契合段落逻辑。

47. 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。
At eighteen, I had been allowed to drive alone for only a week. One Friday night, my mother asked me to take a bag of books to my aunt, who lived across town. The roads were familiar, and I was proud of myself for being trusted with the little blue car.
On the way home, however, a road repair sign forced me away from my usual route. I followed the arrows through streets I hardly knew. Rain had made the road shine, and the lights of other cars looked doubled on the ground. At a wide crossing, I saw a green arrow and turned quickly, only to realize I had entered the wrong lane. Headlights rushed toward me.
I panicked and pulled the car onto a raised concrete island between the lanes. There was a terrible scraping sound, and then the car stopped. The engine was still running, but the front wheels were hanging in the air. I could neither move forward nor reverse. Drivers slowed down to stare. I waited, embarrassed. My phone had only two percent battery. I tried calling my father, but the call failed before I could explain where I was.
A couple in a small van stopped near me. The woman asked if I was hurt. When I shook my head, she pointed across the road to a brightly lit truck stop. “Someone there may know what to do,” she said. I thanked her, though the idea of walking into the noisy place alone made my mouth dry.
Inside, the smell of coffee and fried food filled the air. A cashier looked up from a crossword puzzle. I told her about the car, my voice shaking. She leaned over the counter, glanced through the window, and then turned toward a table where several truck drivers were eating.
注意:

I got back into the car, my heart still beating fast but now with relief.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The cashier called out, “Lenny, this girl needs help.” A big man with a friendly smile stood up and came over. “Don’t worry,” he said. “Show me your car.” I led him outside. He looked at the wheels carefully, then went back to his truck and came back with some tools. With the help of another driver, they lifted the front of my car and pushed it back onto the road. Lenny wiped his hands and said, “All done. Drive slowly and stay safe.” I tried to pay them, but they just laughed and refused.
I got back into the car, my heart still beating fast but now with relief. The drive home felt much shorter than before. When I finally arrived, my father was waiting at the door, looking worried. I told him everything — the wrong turn, the kind couple, and the truck drivers who saved me. He listened quietly and then gave me a big hug. “You were lucky,” he said, “but more importantly, you were brave enough to ask for help.” That night, I realized that even when things go wrong, there are always kind people ready to lend a hand.

Yuanshan Education Foundation
The Mission
Education is a fundamental way to change the future. Yuanshan Education Foundation in Beijing, China is a non-public foundation, providing special STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) courses and other high-quality educational resources to primary school students in rural China.
The foundation aims to develop the students’ learning capacity and interest in STEM, being committed to using technology to promote the balanced development of education for the students in rural areas through the Internet.
The Project Details
We independently develop STEM courses through our project. It adopts the co-teacher teaching mode, which allows an expert teacher to give live STEM lessons online, and a local teacher to assist the class and guide the students offline. The courses start with the most urgently needed subjects in the countryside.
The project will carry out 12 STEM courses in a semester and provide rural students with experiment materials (four students share one experiment kit). In the class, guided by the two teachers, students will learn knowledge in engineering, architecture, transportation, media, and so on through an experimental approach, which will create their interest in STEM subjects and improve their learning capacities. At the same time, various STEM competitions will be held for students.
The History and Need
Within approximately 7 months, 80 STEM courses were delivered, covering 12 schools, 40 classes, 40 teachers, and more than 1,800 rural students. This project has also delivered 12,000 experiment kits to the local students.
Your help means a lot to us and the kids. In the future, the funds we receive will enable more rural children to take STEM courses, learn science knowledge, and improve their learning capacities. Come and build a brighter future for the kids together! For more information, click here.

A book fair is an event where different types of books are displayed and sold. I, a curious boy, visited the Ekushey Boi Mela this year. It is one of the biggest book fairs in Bangladesh, usually held in February. On the very first day, I walked over to visit the exhibition immediately after school. I entered the fair and began to move from one stall (摊位) to another with great interest.
There were many people at the exhibition. Most were school children like me. I saw all sorts of books such as fiction, textbooks, dramas, children’s books, and reference books. One good thing about exhibitions is that they usually offer free gifts. This exhibition was no different. Men, women, and children of all ages and backgrounds gathered there. At a counter near the entrance, I registered to be a member of the book shop and I received a small calculator as a gift.
Inside the main hall, I was amazed by the number of books on display. There were books on computers, science, technology, music, cookery, travel, business, self-help, and general interests. Other items on display included encyclopedias, maps, novels, magazines, and even greeting cards. In addition, there was a huge collection of dictionaries. Also available were computer software, CDs, and other digital media.
Next, I moved on to less crowded areas and looked at the books. There were many that I would love to get my hands on but my financial status did not allow it. So I looked through as many as I could. In that way, I happily whiled away a whole afternoon. I enjoyed my visit to the book fair very much. It reminded me of the simple joy of reading.

According to an official report, with more than 40% of US teenagers reporting ongoing feelings of sadness or hopelessness, Dr Kenneth Barish, a child psychologist, believes grandparents may be an important part of the solution. He says the decline of extended family involvement has been identified as a contributing factor to a continuing crisis in child and adolescent (青少年) mental health.
“We did not evolve to raise children with as little extended family and community support as most American parents have now,” says Dr Barish. “Children need grandparents, and they always have.”
In his new book, Dr Barish draws on 40 years of clinical experience, as well as findings from neuroscience, child development studies, and educational programs, to argue that grandparents can play a meaningful role in helping families navigate today’s parenting challenges.
Dr Barish says grandparents offer more than just practical support for parents. They also provide what he describes as “molecules of emotional health”, small but meaningful moments of encouragement, attention, and understanding that help strengthen children’s “emotional immune systems”.
“A child’s confident expectation that someone will listen and understand is the best protection against the emotional pathogens (病原体) they will experience throughout their childhood. More than anything else, children need someone in their life who listens, who helps them feel less alone, and who teaches them that problems can be solved, relationships can be repaired, and bad feelings do not last forever,” Dr Barish explains.
Ultimately, Dr Barish argues, “Helping children thrive (茁壮成长) depends less on teaching specific skills and more on fostering emotional strength, confidence, and meaningful relationships. Our children will then work harder, bounce back more quickly, show more caring and kindness toward others, and pursue interests with greater enthusiasm, commitment, and a sense of purpose.”
8. What does Dr Barish think contribute to the ongoing crisis in child mental health?
A. Growing bonds between generations.
B. Reduced family and neighbor assistance.
C. Insufficient community support for parents.
D. Less participation from relatives in raising kids.
9. What lays the foundation of Dr Barish’s new book?
A. His family upbringing and observations of child behavior.
B. His clinical records and data from brain science research.
C. His four-decade practice and findings from related fields.
D. His professional background and modern educational theories.
10. Which can be the molecules of emotional health?
A. Small acts of emotional care. B. Expensive gifts for children.
C. Strict rules for behavior. D. Physical medicines for health.
11. What is crucial for children to thrive according to the last paragraph?
A. Mastering specific skills. B. Pursuing personal interests.
C. Showing caring toward others. D. Developing emotional intelligence.
D
Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. Positive tipping points in human societies and economies can bring about rapid reductions in emissions and other environmental harm, even as climate breakdown becomes increasingly damaging and dangerous.
Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil-fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future.
“The global economy is decarbonising (脱去……的碳) at least five times too slowly to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2℃,” said Professor Tim Lenton, from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “The challenge now is to identify potential positive tipping points, and the actions that can bring them forward — while avoiding wishful thinking about their existence, or oversimplification of their nature, drivers and impacts.”
The paper sets out a method for identifying positive tipping points, assessing their proximity, identifying the factors that can influence them, and the actions that can lead to them. This includes looking for evidence that a system, or a similar system, has “tipped” in the past.
Another factor is whether there is potential for “self-pushing uptake” of zero-or low-carbon behaviors. For example, as more people buy electric cars, the performance, price and infrastructure improve — making it easier for others to follow, and therefore accelerating the transition.
“We know positive tipping can happen in sectors such as power and road transport,” said Dr Steve Smith, also from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.”
12. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph?
A. By raising a question. B. By defining a key concept.
C. By listing specific data. D. By telling a personal story.
13. What is the current situation of positive tipping points?
A. They remain purely theoretical at present.
B. They are too slow to affect global warming.
C. They have occurred in some areas already.
D. They are happening in all economic sectors.
14. What is Dr Steve’s attitude to the tipping points of nuclear power?
A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent.
15. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. The Role of Electric Vehicles in Climate Action
B. The Way to Decarbonise the Global Economy Rapidly
C. Challenges of Reaching Environmental Tipping Points
D. Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition

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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Have you noticed how often you forget even simple things and instantly reach for your phone to check them? In a world where answers appear in seconds, our memory has started to work differently. Dates, facts, phone numbers, and even personal memories get handed over to devices for safekeeping. ____16____
American psychologists once published an article in Science. ____17____ In an experiment, participants were asked to read and type 40 interesting facts. Half of the participants were told that these facts would be saved on the computer, while the other half were told that they would be deleted. Everyone was then asked to write down as many facts as possible from memory.
People who thought the information would be saved remembered less than those who believed it would be lost. ____18____ If the brain knows that important information can be obtained from external storage, it sees no reason to waste energy trying to memorize it.
Neuroscientists argue that the strength of memory is directly linked to how often we review what we memorize. ____19____ At the same time, the rise of search engines and quick access to knowledge have made turning to our own memories less necessary.

47. 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。
At eighteen, I had been allowed to drive alone for only a week. One Friday night, my mother asked me to take a bag of books to my aunt, who lived across town. The roads were familiar, and I was proud of myself for being trusted with the little blue car.
On the way home, however, a road repair sign forced me away from my usual route. I followed the arrows through streets I hardly knew. Rain had made the road shine, and the lights of other cars looked doubled on the ground. At a wide crossing, I saw a green arrow and turned quickly, only to realize I had entered the wrong lane. Headlights rushed toward me.
I panicked and pulled the car onto a raised concrete island between the lanes. There was a terrible scraping sound, and then the car stopped. The engine was still running, but the front wheels were hanging in the air. I could neither move forward nor reverse. Drivers slowed down to stare. I waited, embarrassed. My phone had only two percent battery. I tried calling my father, but the call failed before I could explain where I was.
A couple in a small van stopped near me. The woman asked if I was hurt. When I shook my head, she pointed across the road to a brightly lit truck stop. “Someone there may know what to do,” she said. I thanked her, though the idea of walking into the noisy place alone made my mouth dry.
Inside, the smell of coffee and fried food filled the air. A cashier looked up from a crossword puzzle. I told her about the car, my voice shaking. She leaned over the counter, glanced through the window, and then turned toward a table where several truck drivers were eating.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The cashier called out, “Lenny, this girl needs help.”

I got back into the car, my heart still beating fast but now with relief.
