I had been busy with work and had not spent much time with him recently. Even though he is only six and can be a bit stubborn, he is growing up fast — and that night he taught me something I didn’t expect. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.” I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down, Dad!” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to cup clean water in his hands and rinse his eyes while blinking. It worked, and he felt better. I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better. In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. 4. What happened to the author’s son last night? A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom. C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He got shampoo in his eyes. 5. Why did the situation get worse? A. The boy rubbed his eyes with soapy hands. B. The father left the bathroom. C. The boy refused to wash his face. D. The father used the wrong shampoo. 6. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue” mean? A. Secretly  B. Suddenly  C. Naturally  D. Confusedly 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Children need more independence.  B. Parents know their children best. C. Calm thinking leads to better solutions.  D. Difficulties make people stronger. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述作者帮儿子处理洗发水入眼时慌乱，被儿子提醒冷静，由此感悟遇到难题保持冷静才能想出更好对策。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.”(我问他发生了什么，他说：“洗发水进到我的眼睛里了。”)”可知，作者的儿子昨晚洗发水进眼睛里了。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I tried to help by splashing water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands.(我试着往他眼睛上泼水帮忙，但是当他用沾了肥皂的手揉眼睛时，情况变得更糟了。)”可知，男孩用沾有肥皂的手揉眼睛让情况恶化。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“I tried to help by splashing water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands.(我试着往他眼睛上泼水来帮忙，可他用沾了肥皂的手揉眼睛后，情况变得更糟了。我很紧张，叫他不要用手去碰。)”以及第四段“Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down, Dad!” It amazed me.(Out of the blue，他开口说道：“爸爸，冷静点！”这让我十分吃惊。)”可知，儿子的话来得很突然，出乎作者意料。所以猜测out of the blue表示“突然”。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better.(但更重要的教训是，当我们面对问题时，情绪化、仓促行事可能不是最好的方式。保持冷静、思考正确的解决办法会更好。)”可知，这个经历表明冷静思考能带来更好的解决办法。 C It’s concert season. For us, that means a walk around the block comes with the songs of birds. The trees become a stage for this music that starts after the snow has disappeared and lasts until late summer. One evening, I was washing dishes and opened the window to listen. The kitchen soon filled up with bird songs. But as I continued cleaning, I heard a different sound. It was loud and kept going. Looking out, I noticed two blue jays (蓝松鸦) sitting on the branches of a newly planted tree in the neighbor’s yard. One was calling loudly while the other stayed still. A moment later, I noticed one jay still had not moved. The other bird was flying around, trying to pull something from the branch with its beak (喙). When I looked more carefully, I saw that one jay was caught in a piece of string (细绳), probably left from the young tree when it was planted earlier that spring. It had likely been collecting materials for their home before getting caught. The other bird was trying hard to free its mate (配偶) by pulling at the string. I was deeply moved by the bird’s action. When it became clear that the bird could not get free, I called our neighbor and offered to help. We took a ladder and some tools to the tree. We carefully cut the string from the bird’s foot. Then we stepped back. At first the jay stayed still. A moment later, it suddenly flew away to join its mate. Our first bird rescue had been a success! Nature teaches us simple lessons when we stop and pay attention. Like the blue jays, when we get “stuck”, we can depend on a friend for help, or just keep singing until a stranger shows up with a ladder. 8. What drew the author’s attention to the yard? A. A seasonal concert. B. A strange noise. C. A newly planted tree. D. A piece of string. 9. Why did the active blue jay pull the string? A. To save its partner. B. To collect materials for its home. C. To get help from humans. D. To protect its newly-built home. 10. What made the author save the bird? A. Good knowledge in saving animals. B. Admiration for beautiful nature. C. Encouragement from the neighbor. D. Respect for the birds’ efforts. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Birdwatcher B. A Chance Meeting C. A Helping Hand in Need D. A Song from the Treetops 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者偶然目睹一只蓝松鸦被细绳缠住，它的伴侣奋力营救，作者深受触动，和邻居一起出手救助被困蓝松鸦的小故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But as I continued cleaning, I heard a different sound. It was loud and kept going. (但是当我继续打扫时，我听到了一个不一样的声音，这个声音很大且持续不断。)”可知，这种奇怪的声响吸引了作者的注意力。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The other bird was trying hard to free its mate (配偶) by pulling at the string. (另一只鸟正努力拉扯细绳，想要解救它的配偶。)”可知，这只活跃的蓝松鸦拉扯细绳是为了营救自己的同伴。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I was deeply moved by the bird’s action. (我被鸟儿的行为深深打动。)”可知，作者敬佩鸟儿努力营救伴侣的行为，所以决定救助这只被困的蓝松鸦。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章讲述蓝松鸦被困，同伴奋力施救，作者也伸出援手救助小鸟。C项“危难之时伸出援手”是文章核心，适合用作标题。 D If the sound of a baby crying gets you red in the face, you’re not just imagining things. A new study has found that a baby’s cries — particularly those that signal pain — really do cause a hot redness in adults’ faces, perhaps as a way of launching us into action. Without language, crying is a baby’s best shot at getting the help they need from their caregivers. But not every cry is the same. Cries that come from serious pain are much more disordered than the cries of low-level discomfort. Scientists call these “nonlinear phenomena” or NLPs. Caregivers can usually differentiate between cries of ordinary discomfort and those NLPs, but it’s unclear exactly how our bodies arrive at this higher-order conclusion. A team led by Dr. Laurent Moreau from Jean Monnet University wanted to know how these sounds affect adults’ nervous systems and the bodily effects they cause. They tested the reactions of 41 participants(21 men, 20 women, aged 35 years old on average)to the sounds of babies crying. These adults listened to a selection of 23 audio (音频) tracks, recorded from 16 different babies while they were either experiencing the discomfort of a bath, or the pain of a vaccination shot (接种疫苗) at the doctor. As the participants listened, a heat camera tracked changes to their face temperature. An increase in heat from this part of the body is a response from the nervous system, which manages uncontrollable bodily functions such as heart rate and breathing. The results showed that a cry with a higher level of NLP caused a stronger redness response from listeners’ faces, suggesting that these messy sounds are much more effective at getting the attention of adults, on a bodily level, than cries with little or no NLP. “While our results sound interesting and new, this study remains rather basic and raises a number of questions about the methods used in the experiment.” Dr. Moreau notes. 12. Which of the following is an NLP in babies’ cries? A. Cries out of the pain of a dog bite. B. Cries out of boredom with toys. C. Cries from restlessness when held. D. Cries from unwillingness to drink milk. 13. Why did Dr. Moreau’s team conduct the research? A. To test if pain makes cries longer. B. To learn why adults can recognize cries. C. To see how cries affect the adults’ nerves. D. To compare men’s and women’s responses. 14. How was the research carried out? A. By observing babies’ discomfort behaviors. B. By having participants describe feelings. C. By measuring heart rate and recording breathing. D. By playing audios and tracking face temperature. 15. What may the study team focus on next? A. Studying more baby cries. B. Improving the study methods. C. Exploring adults’ nervous systems. D. Managing participants’ bodily functions. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。一项新研究发现，婴儿因严重疼痛发出的无序哭声（NLP）会让成年人面部发红发热，更易吸引关注。研究通过让参与者听哭声音频、追踪面部温度得出结果，但该研究仍较基础，存在方法相关疑问。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Cries that come from serious pain are much more disordered than the cries of low-level discomfort. Scientists call these “nonlinear phenomena” or NLPs.(源自严重疼痛的哭喊与低程度不适所引发的哭喊相比，其节奏要更加紊乱。科学家将这类现象称为“非线性现象”或 NLPs)”可知，因被狗咬而发出的哭声属于婴儿哭声中的“非线性现象”。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“A team led by Dr. Laurent Moreau from Jean Monnet University wanted to know how these sounds affect adults’ nervous systems and the bodily effects they cause.(由让-莫内大学的洛朗·莫罗教授领导的一个研究团队想要探究这些声音对成年人神经系统的影响以及它们所引发的身体反应)”可知，莫罗博士的团队进行这项研究是为了探究哭声对成年人神经系统的影响。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“These adults listened to a selection of 23 audio (音频) tracks, recorded from 16 different babies while they were either experiencing the discomfort of a bath, or the pain of a vaccination shot (接种疫苗) at the doctor. As the participants listened, a heat camera tracked changes to their face temperature. (这些成年人聆听了23首音频片段，这些音频是分别从16名不同婴儿身上录制下来的，录制时这些婴儿有的正在经历洗澡带来的不适，有的则正在经历接种疫苗时的疼痛。当参与者们聆听时，一台热成像仪则监测着他们面部温度的变化情况)”可知，这项研究通过播放音频并监测面部温度开展。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““While our results sound interesting and new, this study remains rather basic and raises a number of questions about the methods used in the experiment.” Dr. Moreau notes.( 莫罗博士指出：“尽管我们的研究结果听起来既有趣又新颖，但这项研究仍较为基础，而且在实验所采用的方法方面也引发了一系列疑问。”)”可知，研究团队接下来可能会关注改进研究方法。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We are taught to see “gossip (八卦)” as a bad habit. However, talking about other people is a natural and important part of our life. Long ago, gossip worked like our earliest social media. In the old days, people shared useful news this way, such as who we could trust or where to get nice food. Even now, it helps us make friends and build trust. ____16____ There is just a small difference between sharing useful news and saying something hurtful. To chat in a good way, we need to follow simple rules and learn “polite gossip”. First, only talk about facts. We can only speak of words we actually heard and actions we really saw. If you start guessing others’ hidden ideas or invent small details to make the story more fun, you are not talking politely anymore. ____17____ Second, know what we cannot talk about. ____18____ Topics like classmates’ looks, family troubles or health problems should never come up in casual talks. If someone is having a hard time, they need our care, not gossip behind their backs. Third, separate people from their mistakes. People may do silly or careless things, but that does not mean they are bad people. ____19____ We all make mistakes and have bad moments. When we talk about one thing, we should focus on the action itself instead of speaking badly of a person’s personality. Finally, keep the golden rule: ____20____ This is the final test of our conscience (良知). If you and that person change places, will you think this talk is fair? Or will you feel sad? If we keep kind and fair hearts, we can share stories without hurting anyone. A. However, not all gossip is the same. B. Therefore, we must respect other people. C. Real harm requires direct action rather than secret talks. D. There are some personal things we should never discuss. E. It is important to listen carefully to what our friends tell us. F. We should stick to what really happened, not what we imagine. G. Don’t talk about others in ways you would hate others to talk about you. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. D 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】介绍了八卦在人际交往中的积极意义，指出良性闲谈与伤人八卦的区别，并从尊重事实、规避隐私话题、客观看待错误、坚守换位思考准则四个方面，讲解了文明闲谈、礼貌八卦的具体原则。 【16题详解】 上文“We are taught to see “gossip (八卦)” as a bad habit. However, talking about other people is a natural and important part of our life...Even now, it helps us make friends and build trust.(我们被教导要把“八卦”视为一种坏习惯。然而，谈论他人是我们生活中自然且重要的一部分……即使现在，它也能帮助我们结交朋友并建立信任。)”转折介绍了对八卦的正面价值。后文“There is just a small difference between sharing useful news and saying something hurtful.(分享有益信息与说出伤人话语之间仅有细微差别。)”引出八卦存在优劣之分。选项A“However, not all gossip is the same.(然而，并非所有八卦都是一样的。)”承接上文八卦的积极作用，完成语义转折，引出下文礼貌闲谈的相关规则。 【17题详解】 上文“If you start guessing others’ hidden ideas or invent small details to make the story more fun, you are not talking politely anymore.(如果你随意揣测他人心思、编造细节让故事更有趣，这样的闲谈就是不礼貌的。)”反面说明闲谈不能主观臆测、编造内容。选项F“We should stick to what really happened, not what we imagine.(我们应当忠于事实，而非我们想象的内容。)”贴合本段“只谈论事实”的核心主旨，正面总结正确的闲谈方式，紧密衔接上文。 【18题详解】 上文“Second, know what we cannot talk about.(第二，明确不可谈论的内容。)”点明本段核心论点。后文“Topics like classmates’ looks, family troubles or health problems should never come up in casual talks.(同学的外貌、家庭矛盾、健康问题等话题绝不适合闲聊。)”具体列举了需要规避的私人话题。选项D“There are some personal things we should never discuss.(有些私人事情我们绝不应该讨论。)”总领本段内容，承接主旨句，引出后文举例说明。 【19题详解】 上文“People may do silly or careless things, but that does not mean they are bad people.(人们或许会做出失误的行为，但不代表其人品恶劣。)”提出要区分人的行为与品性，不能以偏概全。后文“We all make mistakes and have bad moments.(人人都会犯错，都有状态不佳的时候。)”进一步佐证要包容他人的过失。选项B“Therefore, we must respect other people.(因此，我们必须尊重他人。)”根据前文论述得出结论，引出下文。 【20题详解】 后文“This is the final test of our conscience. If you and that person change places, will you think this talk is fair? Or will you feel sad?(这是对良知的终极考验，如若换位思考，你是否认可这样的议论、是否会感到难过？)”阐释了换位思考的处世准则。选项G“Don’t talk about others in ways you would hate others to talk about you.(不要用你讨厌别人谈论你的方式去谈论别人。)”对应后文的换位思考理念，是本段总结的黄金准则。 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A．B．C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 As a teenager, I was pretty lazy when it came to doing things for my family. I found myself refusing to ____21____ out at home with even the simplest things. Every Wednesday afternoon, for example, my mother ____22____ me to another town for a piano lesson. During my two-hour lesson, she’d rush to the nearby store and buy a ____23____ worth of groceries. Given the fact that my mom had driven me twelve miles there, twelve miles back, and ____24____ for my lesson, you’d think I’d be very ____25____ to help her bring the groceries into the house. But I wasn’t. I generally just brought in an arm load of snacks and disappeared into my room, leaving the ____26____ for my mom. Don’t get me wrong. Back in my room, I felt ____27____ about not helping my mother more. Deep inside, I wanted to change my way. But I also realized that once I did ____28____, there’d be no going back. Once I took on more responsibility, my parents would start to ____29____ more from me. At age fifteen, I ____30____ that this one small change would mark something much bigger: my personal change from a spoiled child to a more ____31____ young man. I’ll never forget the Wednesday when I made a(n) ____32____ to jump in and see what happened. Returning home from the lesson, I disappeared into my room as usual. But once inside, I felt that deep ____33____. Throwing my school books on the bed, I headed back to the garage to help my mother. How happy I felt that day! Surely, over time, I continued to help out with more housework. As Mom and Dad sensed they could depend on me more, our trips became far less ____34____, too. In short, it was a win-win situation for everyone. Sometimes the little things we put off doing the longest ____35____ to be the simplest things to complete.

The classroom was very quiet, with only the sound of pens moving across paper. While most students sat up straight and took careful notes, Fahim dropped deeper into his seat. He looked at the blackboard, but the numbers and graph lines just looked like a big mess. To get away from the confusing (难以理解的) symbols on the blackboard, he drew little pictures in his notebook. Soon, his eyes fell on the test paper that had just been given back. He got only four points out of ten. The score troubled him deeply. Fahim crumpled (弄皱) the paper and pushed it into his schoolbag, wishing he could hide his sadness together with it. After class, Fahim was called to the teacher’s office, with the crumpled test paper in his hand. He was ready to get blamed (责备). To his great surprise, Ms. Smith spoke to him in a soft voice. For the first time, Fahim dared to share his true feelings. He told the teacher honestly about his confusion and worries. He felt so comfortable to speak out his thoughts. Ms. Smith looked at him for a moment and then noticed the crumpled paper. She asked if Fahim enjoyed reading books. Fahim nodded, wondering what the teacher was going to do next. Soon, Ms. Smith took a book out of her bag. Its title was A Mind for Numbers. The book was written for students who liked art and English but feared numbers. Fahim picked up the book and turned it around slowly. On the back cover, there was some information about the author, who was not good at this subject when she was at school. However, she made great progress years later by thinking in a different way. With a soft smile, Ms. Smith told Fahim that math could be explained in a way that he could follow. 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。 Taking the book home, Fahim felt a little hope rise in his heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, it was time for another test. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Taking the book home, Fahim felt a little hope rise in his heart. In the following days, Fahim was glued to the book. It explained math in a simple and interesting way, connecting it to art and patterns he already loved. He followed the author’s advice and started drawing pictures to understand difficult math problems and connecting numbers with real-life stories. Slowly but surely, the confusing symbols on the blackboard began to make sense. He no longer drew pictures in class but focused on listening and taking notes, turning fear into curiosity and making steady progress. Two months later, it was time for another test. When the math paper was handed out, Fahim took a deep breath and picked up his pen with confidence. As he read through the questions, he was surprised to find that they didn’t look like a foreign language anymore. He remembered Ms. Smith’s encouragement and the book’s methods, using them to work out each problem step by step. When the results finally came out, Fahim scored eight out of ten. He smiled brightly, knowing that with the right methods and a willing heart, he could overcome any difficulty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Fahim为线索展开，讲述Fahim数学很差，试卷只得了4分，内心十分沮丧。课后史密斯老师把他叫到办公室，没有责备他，而是送给了他一本书，告诉Fahim可以用适合他的方式理解数学。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写Fahim阅读这本书、尝试书中方法学习数学，慢慢克服对数学的畏惧、取得进步的过程。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写Fahim参加考试、沉着答题，取得不错分数，领悟到合适方法和坚持的力量。 2.续写线索：阅读书籍——尝试方法——理解数学——认真听课——参加测试——沉着答题——获得高分——感悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专心阅读：be glued to the book/bury oneself in reading/be absorbed in reading ②克服：overcome/get over/defeat 情绪类 ①令人困惑的：confusing/puzzling/bewildering ②欢快地：brightly/cheerfully/radiantly 【点睛】[高分句型1]It explained math in a simple and interesting way, connecting it to art and patterns he already loved.

B Last night, my 6-year-old son taught me a valuable lesson that stayed with me for hours. I had been busy with work and had not spent much time with him recently. Even though he is only six and can be a bit stubborn, he is growing up fast — and that night he taught me something I didn’t expect. While I was eating dinner, he was in the bath, and suddenly he started crying. I asked him what happened, and he said, “Shampoo (洗发水) got in my eyes.” I got really worried and rushed into the bathroom. I tried to help by splashing water on his eyes, but things got worse when he rubbed his eyes with his soapy hands. I was nervous, telling him not to use his hands. Out of the blue, he said, “Calm down, Dad!” It amazed me. I realized I was making things worse. I stopped splashing water, washed his hands, and calmly told him to cup clean water in his hands and rinse his eyes while blinking. It worked, and he felt better. I’m not sure where he learned to stay calm, maybe from me or somewhere else. But the bigger lesson is that when we face problems, acting emotionally and quickly might not be best. Staying calm and thinking about the right solution is better. In today’s tough job market with many people losing their jobs, it’s easy to feel worried. My son’s lesson reminded me that staying calm and taking a moment to relax can help us face challenges with a clear mind, more energy, and better solutions. 4. What happened to the author’s son last night? A. He argued with his dad. B. He fell in the bathroom. C. He got angry due to the meal. D. He got shampoo in his eyes. 5. Why did the situation get worse? A. The boy rubbed his eyes with soapy hands. B. The father left the bathroom. C. The boy refused to wash his face. D. The father used the wrong shampoo. 6. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue” mean? A. Secretly  B. Suddenly  C. Naturally  D. Confusedly 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Children need more independence.  B. Parents know their children best. C. Calm thinking leads to better solutions.  D. Difficulties make people stronger. C It’s concert season. For us, that means a walk around the block comes with the songs of birds. The trees become a stage for this music that starts after the snow has disappeared and lasts until late summer. One evening, I was washing dishes and opened the window to listen. The kitchen soon filled up with bird songs. But as I continued cleaning, I heard a different sound. It was loud and kept going. Looking out, I noticed two blue jays (蓝松鸦) sitting on the branches of a newly planted tree in the neighbor’s yard. One was calling loudly while the other stayed still. A moment later, I noticed one jay still had not moved. The other bird was flying around, trying to pull something from the branch with its beak (喙). When I looked more carefully, I saw that one jay was caught in a piece of string (细绳), probably left from the young tree when it was planted earlier that spring. It had likely been collecting materials for their home before getting caught. The other bird was trying hard to free its mate (配偶) by pulling at the string. I was deeply moved by the bird’s action. When it became clear that the bird could not get free, I called our neighbor and offered to help. We took a ladder and some tools to the tree. We carefully cut the string from the bird’s foot. Then we stepped back. At first the jay stayed still. A moment later, it suddenly flew away to join its mate. Our first bird rescue had been a success! Nature teaches us simple lessons when we stop and pay attention. Like the blue jays, when we get “stuck”, we can depend on a friend for help, or just keep singing until a stranger shows up with a ladder. 8. What drew the author’s attention to the yard? A. A seasonal concert. B. A strange noise. C. A newly planted tree. D. A piece of string. 9. Why did the active blue jay pull the string? A. To save its partner. B. To collect materials for its home. C. To get help from humans. D. To protect its newly-built home. 10. What made the author save the bird? A. Good knowledge in saving animals. B. Admiration for beautiful nature. C. Encouragement from the neighbor. D. Respect for the birds’ efforts. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. A Birdwatcher B. A Chance Meeting C. A Helping Hand in Need D. A Song from the Treetops D If the sound of a baby crying gets you red in the face, you’re not just imagining things. A new study has found that a baby’s cries — particularly those that signal pain — really do cause a hot redness in adults’ faces, perhaps as a way of launching us into action. Without language, crying is a baby’s best shot at getting the help they need from their caregivers. But not every cry is the same. Cries that come from serious pain are much more disordered than the cries of low-level discomfort. Scientists call these “nonlinear phenomena” or NLPs. Caregivers can usually differentiate between cries of ordinary discomfort and those NLPs, but it’s unclear exactly how our bodies arrive at this higher-order conclusion. A team led by Dr. Laurent Moreau from Jean Monnet University wanted to know how these sounds affect adults’ nervous systems and the bodily effects they cause. They tested the reactions of 41 participants(21 men, 20 women, aged 35 years old on average)to the sounds of babies crying. These adults listened to a selection of 23 audio (音频) tracks, recorded from 16 different babies while they were either experiencing the discomfort of a bath, or the pain of a vaccination shot (接种疫苗) at the doctor. As the participants listened, a heat camera tracked changes to their face temperature. An increase in heat from this part of the body is a response from the nervous system, which manages uncontrollable bodily functions such as heart rate and breathing. The results showed that a cry with a higher level of NLP caused a stronger redness response from listeners’ faces, suggesting that these messy sounds are much more effective at getting the attention of adults, on a bodily level, than cries with little or no NLP. “While our results sound interesting and new, this study remains rather basic and raises a number of questions about the methods used in the experiment.” Dr. Moreau notes. 12. Which of the following is an NLP in babies’ cries? A. Cries out of the pain of a dog bite. B. Cries out of boredom with toys. C. Cries from restlessness when held. D. Cries from unwillingness to drink milk. 13. Why did Dr. Moreau’s team conduct the research? A. To test if pain makes cries longer. B. To learn why adults can recognize cries. C. To see how cries affect the adults’ nerves. D. To compare men’s and women’s responses. 14. How was the research carried out? A. By observing babies’ discomfort behaviors. B. By having participants describe feelings. C. By measuring heart rate and recording breathing. D. By playing audios and tracking face temperature. 15. What may the study team focus on next? A. Studying more baby cries. B. Improving the study methods. C. Exploring adults’ nervous systems. D. Managing participants’ bodily functions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We are taught to see “gossip (八卦)” as a bad habit. However, talking about other people is a natural and important part of our life. Long ago, gossip worked like our earliest social media. In the old days, people shared useful news this way, such as who we could trust or where to get nice food. Even now, it helps us make friends and build trust. ____16____ There is just a small difference between sharing useful news and saying something hurtful. To chat in a good way, we need to follow simple rules and learn “polite gossip”. First, only talk about facts. We can only speak of words we actually heard and actions we really saw. If you start guessing others’ hidden ideas or invent small details to make the story more fun, you are not talking politely anymore. ____17____ Second, know what we cannot talk about. ____18____ Topics like classmates’ looks, family troubles or health problems should never come up in casual talks. If someone is having a hard time, they need our care, not gossip behind their backs. Third, separate people from their mistakes.

The classroom was very quiet, with only the sound of pens moving across paper. While most students sat up straight and took careful notes, Fahim dropped deeper into his seat. He looked at the blackboard, but the numbers and graph lines just looked like a big mess. To get away from the confusing (难以理解的) symbols on the blackboard, he drew little pictures in his notebook. Soon, his eyes fell on the test paper that had just been given back. He got only four points out of ten. The score troubled him deeply. Fahim crumpled (弄皱) the paper and pushed it into his schoolbag, wishing he could hide his sadness together with it. After class, Fahim was called to the teacher’s office, with the crumpled test paper in his hand. He was ready to get blamed (责备). To his great surprise, Ms. Smith spoke to him in a soft voice. For the first time, Fahim dared to share his true feelings. He told the teacher honestly about his confusion and worries. He felt so comfortable to speak out his thoughts. Ms. Smith looked at him for a moment and then noticed the crumpled paper. She asked if Fahim enjoyed reading books. Fahim nodded, wondering what the teacher was going to do next. Soon, Ms. Smith took a book out of her bag. Its title was A Mind for Numbers. The book was written for students who liked art and English but feared numbers. Fahim picked up the book and turned it around slowly. On the back cover, there was some information about the author, who was not good at this subject when she was at school. However, she made great progress years later by thinking in a different way. With a soft smile, Ms. Smith told Fahim that math could be explained in a way that he could follow. 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。 Taking the book home, Fahim felt a little hope rise in his heart. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two months later, it was time for another test. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
