Even on the quietest days,the world is full of sounds:birds chirping,wind rustling through trees,and
insects humming about their business.The ears of both predator and prey are aware of one another's presence.
Sound is so fundamental to life and survival that it caused Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany to
ask:What if it wasn't just animals that could sense sound-what if plants could,too?The first experiments to
test this hypothesis suggest that in at least one case,plants can hear,and it provides a real evolutionary advantage.
Hadany's team looked at evening primroses and found that within minutes of sensing vibrations()
from pollinators'()wings,the plants temporarily increased the concentration of sugar in their flowers'
nectar.In effect,the flowers themselves served as ears,picking up the specific frequencies of bees'wings while
tuning out irrelevant sounds like wind.
To test the primroses in the lab,Hadany's team exposed plants to five sound treatments:silence,recordings
of a honeybee from four inches away,and computer-generated sounds in low,intermediate,and high frequencies.
Plants given the silent treatment-placed under vibration-blocking glass jars-had no significant increase in
nectar sugar concentration.The same went for plants exposed to high-frequency (158 to 160 kilohertz)and
intermediate-frequency (34 to 35 kilohertz)sounds.
But for plants exposed to recordings of bee sounds (0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz)and similarly low-frequency
试卷第3页共10页
sounds (0.05 to 1kilohertz),the final analysis revealed an unmistakable response.Within three minutes of
exposure to these recordings,sugar concentration in the plants increased by an astonishing 20 percent
A sweeter treat for pollinators,their theory goes,may draw in more insects,potentially increasing the
chances of successful cross-pollination.Indeed,in field observations,researchers found that pollinators were more
than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the previous six minutes.
"We were quite surprised when we found out that it actually worked,"Hadany says.
24.Why does the author mention the world is filled with sounds?
A.To show us a colourful world.
B.To bring out the following study.
C.To introduce the sense of sounds.
D.To make a contrast to the quiet days.
25.What did Hadany's team find in the experiments?
A.Plants exposed to high-frequency sounds become tastier.
B.Longer sound exposure sharply raises sugar concentration.
C.Flowers can recognize the specific frequencies of bee's wings.
D.The silent treatment can help plants to attract numerous insects.
26.What did field observations support?
A.The higher frequency of wild sounds
B.The greater chance of unexpected visits
C.The possibility of unsuccessful pollination.
D.The benefit of increased sugar concentration.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.Scientists have made a new discovery in sounds
B.A team has carried out some experiments on plants.
C.Appropriate sounds can make flowers much sweeter.
D.Plants and animals can live in harmony with sounds.

For various reasons-my health issues and an unpredictable income among them-moving out of my
family home hasn't been possible yet.There are definite benefits to living where I grew up,and I know I'm
fortunate to have the option.I love our quiet,tree-lined neighborhood and having access to a spacious kitchen.
My only real dissatisfaction was that my bedroom never felt entirely like mine.Until recently,it was filled
with large and heavy hand-me-down furniture that my parents were far more attached to than I was.It took several
conversations to explain how the change could benefit every one before they finally agreed to let the old pieces go.
New to furniture hunting,I began my first searching online for furniture and art that felt more me.Finding
pieces that were both the right size and style took months of patience-and a few probably unavoidable mistakes
made by rookies.I was surprised by the mental energy it took to coordinate countless online meet-ups,not to
mention the physical effort required to haul furniture.
For a while,the room looked even messier,but gradually it took shape as a space I longed for.I didn't hold
back when it came to decorating.I intentionally chose more compact furniture to create distinct zones for different
activities.Now I work,journal,and craft at my desk,write in my armchair,and read or relax on my bed.Different
bookshelves organize separate types.
One of my goals with this redecoration was to support my sensory needs.So I introduced softer furnishings
(家具陈设),warm ambient lighting,.heated blankets,and varied seating,which made me comfortable and helped
me stay focused
It's no exaggeration to say that redoing my room has changed my life for the better.I now have a studio that
试卷第4页共10页
fuels my creativity,a place that reflects my identity,and a soft landing spot for when life gets hard.For now,I
know it'll have been worth it-for a space that perfectly serves me in this chapter of my life.
28.Why did the author have to persuade the parents repeatedly?
A.Because they feared the heavy lifting.
B.Because they cherished the old furniture
C.Because they doubted the decorating effects.D.Because they preferred the original room layout.
29.What does the underlined wordrookies"in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fools.
B.Beginners.
C.Amateurs
D.Trainees
30.What do the newly-added items reflect about the redecoration?
A.Its practical design.
B.Its simple decorative beauty.
C.Its high decoration cost.
D.Its professional decoration skills.
31.What can be inferred about the redecoration from the text?
A.It doesn't take much effort.
B.It creates a fashionable look.
C.It brings spiritual rewards.
D.It ends the author's life troubles.

For much of the 20th century,nostalgia (was considered by the medical community as a neurological
disorder,a form of depression.However,contemporary neuroscientific research has redefined this emotion,
revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a significant role in maintaining mental well-being and
cognitive continuity.
Modern studies have found the neural correlations of nostalgia.When individuals recall nostalgic memories,
there is obvious activation in the medial prefrontal cortex(),a region related to self-reflection and recall of
personal experience.At the same time,the brain's reward system releases dopamine ()This neurochemical
reaction suggests that nostalgia is not merely a passive reflection on the past,but an active mechanism that
generates positive effect to reduce present depression.
One of the most profound functions of nostalgia is its ability to increase one's sense of"self-continuity."
Life is full of disturbing changes-moving to a new city,changing careers,or losing a loved one-that can
break our identity.Nostalgia acts as a psychological buffer ()bridging the gap between our past and
present selves.By revisiting cherished memories,individuals confirm their core values and narrative identity,
thereby reducing present anxiety.Research indicates that individuals filled with nostalgic reflections demonstrate
greater optimism about the future and higher resilience against stress.
Furthermore,nostalgia serves a vital social function.It is inherently social;nostalgic narratives almost
unavoidably involve significant others-family,friends,or important life events shared with peers.This recall
causes the release of oxytocin,often referred to as the"bonding hormone,"which enhances feelings of empathy
and trust.Consequently,nostalgia can reduce loneliness by fostering a sense of social connectedness,even when
one is physically isolated.It reminds us that we are embedded in a web of meaningful relationships that stand the
test of time.
However,the mechanism is not without its nuances.While adaptive nostalgia promotes psychological
health,excessive reflection on an idealized past can lead to maladaptive (behaviors,preventing
individuals from engaging with current realities.The key lies in the brain's ability to integrate these memories
positively.As neuroscientists continue to map the complex pathways of memory and emotion,it becomes
increasingly clear that looking backward is often the most effective way for the human brain to push itself
forward.

32.According to the passage,how has the perception of nostalgia changed over time?
A.It was once considered a physical illness but is now seen as a neurological disorder.
B.It was previously viewed as a mental weakness but is now recognized as a psychological asset.
C.It has always been regarded as a sign of depression and melancholia.
D.It was thought to be beneficial in the past but is now considered harmful to mental health
33.What can be inferred about the role of dopamine in nostalgic experiences?
A.It is responsible for the fragmentation of identity during stressful transitions
B.It causes individuals to lose touch with their autobiographical memories.
C.It contributes to the positive emotional response generated by recalling the past.
D.It inhibits the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex during self-reflection
34.The author mentions"self-continuity"in Paragraph 3 to explain.
A.how nostalgia helps maintain a stable sense of identity amidst life changes
B.why people tend to forget their past when they move to new cities
C.the biological process of memory retrieval in the human brain
D.the difference between existential anxiety and general stress
35.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Nostalgia is a double-edged sword that primarily causes people to dwell on the past and ignore the present.
B.The release of oxytocin is the sole reason why nostalgia is effective in treating social isolation and
loneliness.
C.Neuroscience reveals that nostalgia is a complex,adaptive mechanism that benefits mental health and
social connection.
D.Functional magnetic resonance imaging has proven that nostalgia is identical to the brain's reward system.

The pursuit of happiness is fundamental to human nature.Most of us believe that when life goes well,we
should automatically feel happy.36 Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report
continuous dissatisfaction,often accompanied by anxiety or low mood.Why does this happen?The main reason is
that we keep raising our expectations for well-being.
37 Once our minds engage in the process,we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary
standards.Gradually,we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what's missing.
This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment.It's like staring at a tiny spot on an otherwise clean
shirt,letting that small flaw prevent us from seeing how nice the shirt really is.
Take a common example:your birthday party.Your friends planned a great celebration with all your
favorite things.38 Nevertheless,this is where our mind may make all the difference.You could simply
embrace the happiness of the moment,dancing freely.Or,you might scrutinize your emotions,
thinking"39"This self-critical idea breeds disappointment,leading to profound dissatisfaction.The
truth is that true happiness rarely comes without any mixed feelings.Even the best moments carry imperfections.
Does this mean we should abandon the pursuit of emotional fulfillment?Certainly not.Something might
work for you.40 They will help us cultivate genuine happiness and enrich life enjoyment.Most
importantly,stop viewing life merely as preparation for future happiness.Real well-being comes not from chasing
perfection,but from fully engaging with each moment as it comes.

A.It is hard to change emotional issues.
B.Yet reality often tells quite a different story.
C.If all my friends can be here,I can't be happier.
D.Embrace emotions in all forms,challenging or uplifting.
E.You might start to carefully evaluate if it meets your expectations.
F.Instead,we should learn to appreciate the beauty of imperfections.
G.This common behavior mainly originates from constant overthinking

"Where words fail,music speaks."Though these words,from the pen of Hans Christian Andersen,are
appealing,the idea that there might be something 41 in music which go beyond cultural boundaries has
generally been met with doubt by scholars working in the field.That doubt may,however,be groundless,for
research published in Current Biology this week by Samuel Mehr and Manvir Singh of Harvard University
provides evidence that music does indeed 42 the communication of simple ideas between people even
when they have no language in common.
To confirm this,the two researchers recruited 750 online volunteers from 60 countries.They played these
volunteers 36 musical pieces,each 14 seconds long,and each drawn at random from one of 118 songs in a
collection of the music of small-scale societies around the world.Given the broad range of cultures and languages
43 in the collection,and the diversity of the volunteers,Dr Mehr and Mr Singh could be reasonably certain
that those listening were both 44 with the music and unable to understand the lyrics (in question.
After each piece had been played,volunteers were asked what they thought the song's 45 was.
and how sure they were of that on a scale of one to six.The possibilities offered were:"for dancing";"for
comforting a baby'';“for healing illness'”;“for expressing love for another;“for remembering the dead';and“for
telling a story".The first four of these were real functions,as46 by the people from whom the song in
question had been collected.The last two were 47,and were included as foils ()Dr Mehr and
Mr.Singh found that volunteers'48 of a song's function were generally in good agreement with its
actual function-with one exception.
Dance songs were particularly 49 to identify.They rated 2.18 points higher on the certainty scale
as being used“for dancing”than lullabies(摇篮曲)did,1.38 points higher than love songs,and1.09 points higher
than healing songs.50 lullabies were rated 1.53 points higher than dance songs as being"to comfort a
baby",1.42 points higher than healing songs and 1.19 points higher than love songs.Healing songs proved a bit
more51.They scored only 0.47 and 0.31 points higher than dance and love songs respectively for"to
heal illness",and were statistically indistinguishable from lullabies.
The 52,though,was love songs.Listeners could distinguish them from healing songs,but not
from lullabies or dance songs.Why love songs were hard to identify is 53.Because such songs involve
showing off to the object of one's affections,they may require more creativity,and thus generate more 54
than lullabies or dance songs..Perhaps the fact that both dancing and cooing(温柔地说话)are involved in
romance

第二节语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Hollywood's newest "actress",Tilly Norwood,has caused a storm of debate.Surprisingly,she is not a
human being at all,56an AI-generated character created by a company called Particle6.When its
founder Eline Van der Velden introduced Tilly at the Zurich Film Festival,she described her as"the next Scarlett
Johansson or Natalie Portman."
Although Particle6 has existed since 2015,it is only in recent years that the company has truly reinvented
57 as an AI production studio.The company even created an Instagram page for Tilly,where she appears in
edited videos,58(sit)on famous talk-show sofas.Yet many in Hollywood are far from amused.
According to the Screen Actors Guild,Tilly "has no life experience to draw from."The union argues that
audiences prefer genuine human emotions and
59 using AI copies could take jobs away from real
actors.If studios began using digital performers
60
(train)on human work,the union warns,many
artists'efforts would be stolen and their livelihoods threatened.
Van der Velden,who once worked as a comedian and online creator,explains why Tilly 61 be
seen as a source of creativity rather than a threat to human actors."Like many forms of art,"she wrote online,
"she makes people think and talk-and that shows the power of imagination."
Even so,not everyone 62(convince).Some experts admit that AI characters can look real,but
they believe these"actors"will always lack something essential-humanity.63 one studio head
explained,an AI performer may be programmable and usable,but it will never truly feel.And 64 real
feelings,it cannot fully act.
For now,Tilly Norwood may not be stealing anyone's job,yet her arrival 65
(force)Hollywood
to face a question it cannot ignore:what makes a performer truly human?

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。
Olivia and Clara had been best friends since middle school.Under the sheltering tree of their friendship,
they had stuck together through thick and thin,though they had different personalities:Olivia enjoyed reading
quietly whereas Clara was fond of exploration by bicycle.They had thought their friendship would last forever.
Yet,one afternoon,a minor misunderstanding happened,taking a toll on their relationship
This was what had happened.They joined in an important science project whose results would count
towards their credits.Olivia,a careful planner,had devoted the whole afternoon to preparing their presentation
alone in the quiet classroom.Her fingers danced swiftly and skillfully on the keyboard while she organized slides
and typed notes.Every slide contained solid arguments and carefully selected pictures,which reflected her great
efforts.As dusk fell,her anxiety built up minute by minute.She glanced at the clock repeatedly.Clara was late
again.The empty chair next to her seemed to laugh at her,leaving her feeling lonely as well as annoyed.
Clara finally dashed in,out of breath and upset,trying to explain the reason."I'm so sony,but my..."she
started,only to be interrupted by Olivia,whose patience had worn thin."Troubles keep popping up for you!Have
you ever thought about the influence your behavior has on others?"
At the sound of her sharp remarks,Clara who had meant to apologize,froze at once."You are always taking
charge of everything!It's exhausting to try to live up to your strict perfect standards!"she shouted back angrily.
The atmosphere in the room grew heavy,hard to breathe,filled with hurt emotions and wounded pride.They
gathered their books in angry silence.The unfinished project stood for the cracked bond of their friendship.
Neither girl dared to utter a single word as they headed home,both trapped in bitter disappointment.:

That night,Olivia lay in bed,worried about their relationship and the project.

【原文】M:Lucy,you're here!I thought you were on holiday,
W:Surprise-I came back early.Well,I couldn't miss your party.It's not every day my best friend turns 18.
Where should I put your gift?
M:On the dining-room table.Thanks!I'm so glad you're here!

【原文】M:I wonder if this is going to be an interesting class.
W:Yeah.Me too.So,what's your major?
M:I major in business,but my father keeps telling me I have to work in the hospital like him the future.
W:Ah,that's what happened to me in my freshman year.My parents wanted me to choose computer science
instead of physics.
M:So which year are you in?
W:I'm a senior,and I only have to take 10 more credits to graduate.
M:That must be great to be almost finished with school.
W:You can say that again,but once I graduate,I have to start repaying my student loan
M:Didn't your parents help you out with your college tuition?
W:No.My dad thought I'm an adult,so I should earn my own education.I work in the summer and do a part-time
job in the library to cover my tuition.I received financial aid in my third year,which really saved me.Because
school was more demanding that year,I wasn't able to work as much.
M:Well,you know,at least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
W:That's true.Oh,our teacher is coming.Let's stop talking.

M:Oh,I saw the accident at 7:20 in the morning,not in the afternoon.And I saw it today,not yesterday
W:Please correct them clearly for me.Anyway,since I have recorded our conversation,you don't have to worry
about the mistakes.
M:I saw the young girl wearing an earphone.She was probably listening to music.I'm not sure.But I would say
the speed of the car was high instead of too high.
W:Why do you say so?
M:You see,after the girl was hit to the ground,she was still awake.She kept crying.That's all.
W:OK.Please sign your name here,and here is your ID card.Thank you very much.

I M:Good moming,every one,and welcome to the Annual Ski and Snowboard Exhibition held from April
8th to 17th.I am Mark Granger,organizer of the event this year.The event features many highlights.This might
be the first time coming here for some of you.So for those who are still wondering about the right
accommodation,I recommend Sky Hotel.It has its own health and sports clubs just like most of the hotels here,
but I love it because of its incredibly comfortable beds which guarantee good rest after a tiring day of exploration.
Many have posed the question as to how to enter the skiing and snowboarding competition.Well,rather than
filling out the back of the entrance ticket or flooding the committee with emails,the most effective method is by
pay ing attention to the exhibition newsletter delivered every month for availability.As the most beloved local
event,the exhibition has also drawn attention from the press.Last year,massive media expressed concern over the
low snowfall.In order to avoid the same situation,several artificial skiing runs have been built.With more
participants this year,we have lowered the entrance fee which has been widely reported by local newspapers.

【导语】文章主要讲述了研究发现植物能感知蜜蜂翅膀振动并提高花蜜糖分以吸引授粉者。
【详解】24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Even on the quietest days,,the world is full of sounds:birds chirping,
wind rustling through trees,and insects humming about their business.(即使在最安静的日子里,世界也充满了
声音:鸟儿啁啾,风穿过树林沙沙作响,昆虫嗡嗡地忙着自己的事)'以及第二段中Sound is so fundamental
to life and survival that it caused Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany to ask:What if it wasn't just
animals that could sense sound一what if plants could,.too?(声音对生命和生存如此重要,以至于它促使特拉维
夫大学的研究人员Lilach Hadany提出:如果不仅仅是动物能感知声音,如果植物也能呢?)'可知,作者在
开头描绘世界充满各种声音、捕食者与猎物都能察觉彼此的存在,是为了引出下文关于植物是否也能感知
声音的科学研究。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段中“In effect,.the flowers themselves served as ears,.picking up the specific
frequencies of bees'wings while tuning out irrelevant sounds like wind.(实际上,花朵本身充当了耳朵,接收蜜
蜂翅膀的特定频率,同时屏蔽掉风等无关的声音)”以及第五段中But for plants exposed to recordings of bee
sounds(0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz)and similarly low-frequency sounds (0.05 to 1 kilohertz),the final analysis revealed
an unmistakable response.(但对于接触蜜蜂声音录音(0.2至0.5千赫)和类似的低频声音(0.05至1千赫)的植
物,最终分析显示出明确的反应)'可知,花朵能够识别蜜蜂翅膀的特定频率并作出反应。
26.推理判断题。根据第六段中“A sweeter treat for pollinators,,their theory goes,may draw in more insects,
potentially increasing the chances of successful cross-.pollination..(他们的理论认为,对授粉者来说更甜的款待
可能会吸引更多昆虫,从而增加成功异花授粉的机会)'以及“Indeed,.in field observations,researchers found
that pollinators were more than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the
previous siⅸminutes.(事实上,在实地观察中,研究人员发现,在之前六分钟内被另一只授粉者访问过的植
物周围,授粉者的数量要多九倍多)”可知,实地观察的结果证实了花蜜糖分浓度提高所带来的好处,即能
吸引更多昆虫、增加授粉机会。
27.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Hadany's team looked at evening prim roses and found that within minutes of
sensing vibrations(振动)from pollinators'(授粉者)wings,the plants temporarily increased the concentration of
sugar in their flowers'nectar..Hadany的团队观察了月见草,发现它们在感知到授粉者翅膀振动的几分钟内,
会暂时提高花蜜中糖分的浓度)'以及第五段中Within three minutes of exposure to these recordings,sugar
concentration in the plants increased by an astonishing20 percent..(在接触这些录音的三分钟内,植物中的糖分
浓度惊人地增加了百分之二十)”可知,全文围绕研究发现合适的声音(蜜蜂翅膀的低频振动)能让花朵变
得更甜、进而吸引授粉者展开。

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者重新装修自己卧室的经历,以及这次改造给作者生活带来的积极影响。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第二段“Until recently,it was filled with large and heavy hand-me-down furniture
that my parents were far more attached to than I was..(直到最近,房间里还摆满了又大又重的I旧家具,我父母
对这些家具的依恋程度远胜于我。)”可知,作者不得不反复劝说父母是因为他们珍爱这些旧家具。
29.词句猜测题。根据第三段“New to furniture hunting,I began my first searching online for furniture and art
that felt more me.Finding pieces that were both the right size and style took months of patience-and a few
probably unavoidable mistakes made by rookies..(作为家具选购的新手,我开始第一次在网上搜索更符合我风
格的家具和艺术品。找到尺寸和风格都合适的家具需要几个月的耐心一还有一些可能是rookies不可避
免会犯的错误。)可知,作者是家具选购的新手,因此,rookies意为“新手,初学者”。
30.推理判断题。根据第五段“So I introduced softer furnishings(家具陈设),warm ambient lighting,heated
blankets,and varied seating,.which made me comfortable and helped me stay focused.(所以我添置了更柔软的
家具陈设、温暖的环境照明、加热毯和各种座椅,这些让我感到舒适,并帮助我保持专注。)”可知,新增
的物品反映了装修的实用设计。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“It's no exaggeration to say that redoing my room has changed my life for the
better.I now have a studio that fuels my creativity,a place that reflects my identity,and a soft landing spot for
when life gets hard.(毫不夸张地说,重新装修我的房间让我的生活变得更好了。我现在有了一个激发创造
力的工作室,一个反映我身份的地方,以及一个当生活艰难时的柔软落脚点。)可知,重新装修给作者带
来了精神回报。

【导语】文章介绍了科学界对怀旧看法的转变,结合神经科学研究阐述了怀旧在改善情绪、维系自我认知、
增进社交联结等方面的积极作用,同时也指出过度怀旧会产生负面影响。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段“For much of the20 th century,nostalgia was considered by the medical
community as a neurological disorder,a form of depression.However,contemporary neuroscientific research has
redefined this emotion,revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a significant role in
maintaining mental well-being and cognitive continuity.(在20世纪的大部分时间里,医学界将怀旧视为一种
神经紊乱,即抑郁症的一种表现形式。然而,当代神经科学研究重新定义了这种情绪,揭示了它是一种复
杂的心理资源,在维持心理健康和认知连续性方面发挥着重要作用。)”可知,怀旧过去被视为抑郁症,一
种精神缺陷,但现在被视为一种心理资源。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段Modern studies have found the neural correlations of nostalgia.When individuals
recall nostalgic memories,there is obvious activation in the medial prefrontal cortex,a region related to
self-reflection and recall of personal experience.At the same time,the brain's reward system releases dopamine.
This neurochemical reaction suggests that nostalgia is not merely a passive reflection on the past,but an active
答案第5页共12页
mechanism that generates positive effect to reduce present depression.(现代研究发现,怀I旧具有神经相关性。
当个体回忆起怀旧记忆时,内侧前额叶皮层(一个与自我反思和个人经历回忆相关的区域)会出现明显的
激活。同时,大脑的奖励系统会释放多巴胺。这种神经化学反应表明,怀旧不仅仅是对过去的被动反思,
而是一种积极的机制,能产生积极效应以减轻当下的抑郁情绪。)”可知,当个体回忆起怀旧记忆时,大脑
的奖励系统会释放多巴胺,能产生积极效应以减轻当下的抑郁情绪,由此可推断,多巴胺在怀旧体验中的
作用是有助于产生由回忆过去所带来的积极情绪反应。
34.推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the most profound functions of nostalgia is its ability to increase one's
sense of self-continuity.'Life is full of disturbing changes-moving to a new city,changing careers,or losing a
loved one-that can break our identity.Nostalgia acts as a psychological buffer,bridging the gap between our
past and present selves.By revisiting cherished memories,individuals confirm their core values and narrative
identity,thereby reducing present anxiety.Research indicates that individuals filled with nostalgic reflections
demonstrate greater optimism about the future and higher resilience against stress.(怀I旧最深刻的功能之一是它
能增强一个人的自我连续性'感。生活中充满了令人不安的变化一搬到新城市、换工作或失去亲人一
这些变化可能会打破我们的身份认同。怀旧作为一种心理缓冲物,弥合了我们过去和现在的自我之间的鸿
沟。通过重温珍贵的回忆,个人可以确认自己的核心价值观和叙事身份,从而减轻当下的焦虑。研究表明,
充满怀旧回忆的人对未来表现出更大的乐观态度,并且更能应对压力。)”可知,生活中的变动会打破人们
的身份认同,怀旧作为心理缓冲,帮人们确认核心身份,减少焦虑。因此提到自我连续性'是为了解释怀
旧如何在生活变动中帮人维持稳定的身份认同感。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“For much of the20 th century,.nostalgia was considered by the medical community
as a neurological disorder,a form of depression.However,contemporary neuroscientific research has redefined
this emotion,revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a significant role in maintaining mental
well-being and cognitive continuity.(在20世纪的大部分时间里,医学界将怀旧视为一种神经紊乱,即抑郁
症的一种表现形式。然而,当代神经科学研究重新定义了这种情绪,揭示了它是一种复杂的心理资源,在
维持心理健康和认知连续性方面发挥着重要作用。)'并结合全文可知,文章围绕神经科学对怀旧的新研究
展开,说明怀旧是复杂的适应性机制,对个体心理健康、社交联结都有积极作用,对应C选项。

37.Once our minds engage in the process,we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary
standards.Gradually,we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what's missing.
This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment..(一旦我们的大脑陷入这种思维模式,就会开始把现
实生活和想象中的完美标准作比较。渐渐地,我们不再珍惜已经拥有的东西,反而执着于那些缺失的事物。
这种过度分析,实则毁掉了幸福的瞬间。)”可知,下文在解释一种过度思考的行为及其危害,本空总起点

细检查)your emotions,.thinking(然而,我们的想法在此刻会带来巨大差别。你可以单纯享受当下的快乐,
自在起舞;你也可能审视自己的情绪,心里想着)”可知,上文交代生日派对的美好,下文对比两种不同心

解释;D.permit使成为可能、允许。根据下文“even when they have no language in common'可知,音乐可以
让互不理解语言的人传递简单想法。
43.考查动词。句意:该音乐集收录了多种多样的文化与语言,志愿者背景也各不相同,梅尔博士和辛格
先生有理由确信听众既不熟悉这些乐曲,也看不懂相关歌词。A.concealed隐藏:B.instructed指导:C.
arranged安排;D.represented代表。根据上文To confirm this,the two researchers recruited750 online
volunteers from 60 countries.They played these volunteers 36 musical pieces,each 14 seconds long,and each
drawn at random from one of 118 songs in a collection of the music of small-scale societies around the world."

That night,Olivia lay in bed,worried about their relationship and the project.The bitter quarrel echoing in
her mind,Olivia tossed and turned.She thought about how she had cut Clara off impatiently without letting her
explain.She also thought of the half-finished slides,where Clara had contributed many creative ideas.Worse still,
it was her own pursuit of perfection that had hurt the person who cared about her most.With a heavy heart,she
picked up her phone and sent a message to Clara,making an appointment to meet at their usual cafe the next
morning.
The next day,Clara arrived early at the cafe as promised.She looked exhausted,her usual bright smile gone
like the sun disappearing behind clouds.Upon seeing Olivia,she explained immediately,"My bicycle broke down
on the way.I had tried hard to walk to the school."Hearing her words,Olivia apologized with guilt,"I'm sorry for
being too harsh and rude."Relieved and regretful,they hugged each other tightly.That whole day,they worked on
the project with renewed cooperation.It dawned on them that true friendship needs communication and mutual
understanding.

Even on the quietest days, the world is full of sounds: birds chirping, wind rustling through trees, and insects humming about their business. The ears of both predator and prey are aware of one another’s presence.
Sound is so fundamental to life and survival that it caused Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany to ask: What if it wasn’t just animals that could sense sound — what if plants could, too? The first experiments to test this hypothesis suggest that in at least one case, plants can hear, and it provides a real evolutionary advantage.
Hadany’s team looked at evening primroses and found that within minutes of sensing vibrations (振动) from pollinators’ (授粉者) wings, the plants temporarily increased the concentration of sugar in their flowers’ nectar. In effect, the flowers themselves served as ears, picking up the specific frequencies of bees’ wings while tuning out irrelevant sounds like wind.
To test the primroses in the lab, Hadany’s team exposed plants to five sound treatments: silence, recordings of a honeybee from four inches away, and computer-generated sounds in low, intermediate, and high frequencies. Plants given the silent treatment — placed under vibration-blocking glass jars — had no significant increase in nectar sugar concentration. The same went for plants exposed to high-frequency (158 to 160 kilohertz) and intermediate-frequency (34 to 35 kilohertz) sounds.
But for plants exposed to recordings of bee sounds (0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz) and similarly low-frequency sounds (0.05 to 1kilohertz), the final analysis revealed an unmistakable response. Within three minutes of exposure to these recordings, sugar concentration in the plants increased by an astonishing 20 percent.
A sweeter treat for pollinators, their theory goes, may draw in more insects, potentially increasing the chances of successful cross-pollination. Indeed, in field observations, researchers found that pollinators were more than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the previous six minutes.
“We were quite surprised when we found out that it actually worked,” Hadany says.
24.Why does the author mention the world is filled with sounds?
A.To show us a colourful world. B.To bring out the following study.
C.To introduce the sense of sounds. D.To make a contrast to the quiet days.
25.What did Hadany’s team find in the experiments?
A.Plants exposed to high-frequency sounds become tastier.
B.Longer sound exposure sharply raises sugar concentration.
C.Flowers can recognize the specific frequencies of bee’s wings.
D.The silent treatment can help plants to attract numerous insects.
26.What did field observations support?
A.The higher frequency of wild sounds. B.The greater chance of unexpected visits.
C.The possibility of unsuccessful pollination. D.The benefit of increased sugar concentration.
27.What is the text mainly about?
A.Scientists have made a new discovery in sounds.
B.A team has carried out some experiments on plants.

For various reasons — my health issues and an unpredictable income among them — moving out of my family home hasn’t been possible yet. There are definite benefits to living where I grew up, and I know I’m fortunate to have the option. I love our quiet, tree-lined neighborhood and having access to a spacious kitchen.
My only real dissatisfaction was that my bedroom never felt entirely like mine. Until recently, it was filled with large and heavy hand-me-down furniture that my parents were far more attached to than I was. It took several conversations to explain how the change could benefit everyone before they finally agreed to let the old pieces go.
New to furniture hunting, I began my first searching online for furniture and art that felt more me. Finding pieces that were both the right size and style took months of patience — and a few probably unavoidable mistakes made by rookies. I was surprised by the mental energy it took to coordinate countless online meet-ups, not to mention the physical effort required to haul furniture.
For a while, the room looked even messier, but gradually it took shape as a space I longed for. I didn’t hold back when it came to decorating. I intentionally chose more compact furniture to create distinct zones for different activities. Now I work, journal, and craft at my desk, write in my armchair, and read or relax on my bed. Different bookshelves organize separate types.
One of my goals with this redecoration was to support my sensory needs. So I introduced softer furnishings (家具陈设), warm ambient lighting, heated blankets, and varied seating, which made me comfortable and helped me stay focused.
It’s no exaggeration to say that redoing my room has changed my life for the better. I now have a studio that fuels my creativity, a place that reflects my identity, and a soft landing spot for when life gets hard. For now, I know it’ll have been worth it — for a space that perfectly serves me in this chapter of my life.
28.Why did the author have to persuade the parents repeatedly?
A.Because they feared the heavy lifting. B.Because they cherished the old furniture.
C.Because they doubted the decorating effects. D.Because they preferred the original room layout.
29.What does the underlined word “rookies” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fools. B.Beginners. C.Amateurs. D.Trainees.
30.What do the newly-added items reflect about the redecoration?
A.Its practical design. B.Its simple decorative beauty.
C.Its high decoration cost. D.Its professional decoration skills.
31.What can be inferred about the redecoration from the text?
A.It doesn’t take much effort. B.It creates a fashionable look.
C.It brings spiritual rewards. D.It ends the author’s life troubles.
D
For much of the 20th century, nostalgia (怀旧) was considered by the medical community as a neurological disorder, a form of depression. However, contemporary neuroscientific research has redefined this emotion, revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a significant role in maintaining mental well-being and cognitive continuity.
Modern studies have found the neural correlations of nostalgia. When individuals recall nostalgic memories, there is obvious activation in the medial prefrontal cortex (皮层), a region related to self-reflection and recall of personal experience. At the same time, the brain’s reward system releases dopamine (多巴胺). This neurochemical reaction suggests that nostalgia is not merely a passive reflection on the past, but an active mechanism that generates positive effect to reduce present depression.
One of the most profound functions of nostalgia is its ability to increase one’s sense of “self-continuity.” Life is full of disturbing changes — moving to a new city, changing careers, or losing a loved one — that can break our identity. Nostalgia acts as a psychological buffer (缓冲物), bridging the gap between our past and present selves. By revisiting cherished memories, individuals confirm their core values and narrative identity, thereby reducing present anxiety. Research indicates that individuals filled with nostalgic reflections demonstrate greater optimism about the future and higher resilience against stress.
Furthermore, nostalgia serves a vital social function. It is inherently social; nostalgic narratives almost unavoidably involve significant others — family, friends, or important life events shared with peers. This recall causes the release of oxytocin, often referred to as the “bonding hormone,” which enhances feelings of empathy and trust. Consequently, nostalgia can reduce loneliness by fostering a sense of social connectedness, even when one is physically isolated. It reminds us that we are embedded in a web of meaningful relationships that stand the test of time.
However, the mechanism is not without its nuances. While adaptive nostalgia promotes psychological health, excessive reflection on an idealized past can lead to maladaptive (不适应的) behaviors, preventing individuals from engaging with current realities. The key lies in the brain’s ability to integrate these memories positively. As neuroscientists continue to map the complex pathways of memory and emotion, it becomes increasingly clear that looking backward is often the most effective way for the human brain to push itself forward.
32.According to the passage, how has the perception of nostalgia changed over time?
A.It was once considered a physical illness but is now seen as a neurological disorder.
B.It was previously viewed as a mental weakness but is now recognized as a psychological asset.
C.It has always been regarded as a sign of depression and melancholia.
D.It was thought to be beneficial in the past but is now considered harmful to mental health.
33.What can be inferred about the role of dopamine in nostalgic experiences?
A.It is responsible for the fragmentation of identity during stressful transitions.
B.It causes individuals to lose touch with their autobiographical memories.
C.It contributes to the positive emotional response generated by recalling the past.
D.It inhibits the activity of the medial prefrontal cortex during self-reflection.
34.The author mentions “self-continuity” in Paragraph 3 to explain .
A.how nostalgia helps maintain a stable sense of identity amidst life changes
B.why people tend to forget their past when they move to new cities
C.the biological process of memory retrieval in the human brain
D.the difference between existential anxiety and general stress
35.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Nostalgia is a double-edged sword that primarily causes people to dwell on the past and ignore the present.
B.The release of oxytocin is the sole reason why nostalgia is effective in treating social isolation and loneliness.
C.Neuroscience reveals that nostalgia is a complex, adaptive mechanism that benefits mental health and social connection.
D.Functional magnetic resonance imaging has proven that nostalgia is identical to the brain’s reward system.

The pursuit of happiness is fundamental to human nature. Most of us believe that when life goes well, we should automatically feel happy. 36 Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report continuous dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or low mood. Why does this happen? The main reason is that we keep raising our expectations for well-being.
37 Once our minds engage in the process, we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary standards. Gradually, we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what’s missing. This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment. It’s like staring at a tiny spot on an otherwise clean shirt, letting that small flaw prevent us from seeing how nice the shirt really is.
Take a common example: your birthday party. Your friends planned a great celebration with all your favorite things. 38 Nevertheless, this is where our mind may make all the difference. You could simply embrace the happiness of the moment, dancing freely. Or, you might scrutinize (仔细检查) your emotions, thinking “ 39 ” This self-critical idea breeds disappointment, leading to profound dissatisfaction. The truth is that true happiness rarely comes without any mixed feelings. Even the best moments carry imperfections.
Does this mean we should abandon the pursuit of emotional fulfillment? Certainly not. Something might work for you. 40 They will help us cultivate genuine happiness and enrich life enjoyment. Most importantly, stop viewing life merely as preparation for future happiness. Real well-being comes not from chasing perfection, but from fully engaging with each moment as it comes.
A.It is hard to change emotional issues.
B.Yet reality often tells quite a different story.
C.If all my friends can be here, I can’t be happier.
D.Embrace emotions in all forms, challenging or uplifting.
E.You might start to carefully evaluate if it meets your expectations.
F.Instead, we should learn to appreciate the beauty of imperfections.
G.This common behavior mainly originates from constant overthinking.

“Where words fail, music speaks.” Though these words, from the pen of Hans Christian Andersen, are appealing, the idea that there might be something 41 in music which go beyond cultural boundaries has generally been met with doubt by scholars working in the field. That doubt may, however, be groundless, for research published in Current Biology this week by Samuel Mehr and Manvir Singh of Harvard University provides evidence that music does indeed 42 the communication of simple ideas between people even when they have no language in common.
To confirm this, the two researchers recruited 750 online volunteers from 60 countries. They played these volunteers 36 musical pieces, each 14 seconds long, and each drawn at random from one of 118 songs in a collection of the music of small-scale societies around the world. Given the broad range of cultures and languages 43 in the collection, and the diversity of the volunteers, Dr Mehr and Mr Singh could be reasonably certain that those listening were both 44 with the music and unable to understand the lyrics (歌词) in question.
After each piece had been played, volunteers were asked what they thought the song’s 45 was, and how sure they were of that on a scale of one to six. The possibilities offered were: “for dancing”; “for comforting a baby”; “for healing illness”; “for expressing love for another”; “for remembering the dead”; and “for telling a story”. The first four of these were real functions, as 46 by the people from whom the song in question had been collected. The last two were 47 , and were included as foils (陪衬者). Dr Mehr and Mr. Singh found that volunteers’ 48 of a song’s function were generally in good agreement with its actual function — with one exception.
Dance songs were particularly 49 to identify. They rated 2.18 points higher on the certainty scale as being used “for dancing” than lullabies (摇篮曲) did; 1.38 points higher than love songs; and 1.09 points higher than healing songs. 50 , lullabies were rated 1.53 points higher than dance songs as being “to comfort a baby”, 1.42 points higher than healing songs and 1.19 points higher than love songs. Healing songs proved a bit more 51 . They scored only 0.47 and 0.31 points higher than dance and love songs respectively for “to heal illness”, and were statistically indistinguishable from lullabies.
The 52 , though, was love songs. Listeners could distinguish them from healing songs, but not from lullabies or dance songs. Why love songs were hard to identify is 53 . Because such songs involve showing off to the object of one’s affections, they may require more creativity, and thus generate more 54 than lullabies or dance songs. Perhaps the fact that both dancing and cooing (温柔地说话) are involved in romance 55 listeners. Love songs aside, however, Andersen was clearly onto something.

第二节 语法填空(共10 小题;每小题 1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Hollywood’s newest “actress”, Tilly Norwood, has caused a storm of debate. Surprisingly, she is not a human being at all, 56 an AI-generated character created by a company called Particle6. When its founder Eline Van der Velden introduced Tilly at the Zurich Film Festival, she described her as “the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman.”
Although Particle6 has existed since 2015, it is only in recent years that the company has truly reinvented 57 as an AI production studio. The company even created an Instagram page for Tilly, where she appears in edited videos, 58 (sit) on famous talk-show sofas. Yet many in Hollywood are far from amused.
According to the Screen Actors Guild, Tilly “has no life experience to draw from.” The union argues that audiences prefer genuine human emotions and 59 using AI copies could take jobs away from real actors. If studios began using digital performers 60 (train) on human work, the union warns, many artists’ efforts would be stolen and their livelihoods threatened.
Van der Velden, who once worked as a comedian and online creator, explains why Tilly 61 be seen as a source of creativity rather than a threat to human actors. “Like many forms of art,” she wrote online, “she makes people think and talk — and that shows the power of imagination.”
Even so, not everyone 62 (convince). Some experts admit that AI characters can look real, but they believe these “actors” will always lack something essential — humanity. 63 one studio head explained, an AI performer may be programmable and usable, but it will never truly feel. And 64 real feelings, it cannot fully act.
For now, Tilly Norwood may not be stealing anyone’s job, yet her arrival 65 (force) Hollywood to face a question it cannot ignore: what makes a performer truly human?

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。
Olivia and Clara had been best friends since middle school. Under the sheltering tree of their friendship, they had stuck together through thick and thin, though they had different personalities: Olivia enjoyed reading quietly whereas Clara was fond of exploration by bicycle. They had thought their friendship would last forever. Yet, one afternoon, a minor misunderstanding happened, taking a toll on their relationship.
This was what had happened. They joined in an important science project whose results would count towards their credits. Olivia, a careful planner, had devoted the whole afternoon to preparing their presentation alone in the quiet classroom. Her fingers danced swiftly and skillfully on the keyboard while she organized slides and typed notes. Every slide contained solid arguments and carefully selected pictures, which reflected her great efforts. As dusk fell, her anxiety built up minute by minute. She glanced at the clock repeatedly. Clara was late again. The empty chair next to her seemed to laugh at her, leaving her feeling lonely as well as annoyed.
Clara finally dashed in, out of breath and upset, trying to explain the reason. “I’m so sorry, but my...” she started, only to be interrupted by Olivia, whose patience had worn thin. “Troubles keep popping up for you! Have you ever thought about the influence your behavior has on others?”
At the sound of her sharp remarks, Clara who had meant to apologize, froze at once. “You are always taking charge of everything! It’s exhausting to try to live up to your strict perfect standards!” she shouted back angrily. The atmosphere in the room grew heavy, hard to breathe, filled with hurt emotions and wounded pride. They gathered their books in angry silence. The unfinished project stood for the cracked bond of their friendship. Neither girl dared to utter a single word as they headed home, both trapped in bitter disappointment.注意:
续写词数应为150左右;
请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
That night, Olivia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project.
The next day, Clara arrived early at the cafe as promised.

【原文】W: Where do you want to go this evening?
M: I really don’t know. There’s nothing playing at the cinema now. How about going swimming in the gym?
W: Oh, that’s a great idea.
2.A
【原文】M: Lucy, you’re here! I thought you were on holiday.
W: Surprise — I came back early. Well, I couldn’t miss your party. It’s not every day my best friend turns 18. Where should I put your gift?
M: On the dining-room table. Thanks! I’m so glad you’re here!
3.C
【原文】W: Go to bed, Luke. It’s already twenty to ten.
M: Aw, Mum, just a few minutes. I’m watching this TV program. It’ll be over at ten too and I’ll be in bed at ten past.
4.C
【原文】W: Are you free on Saturday evening? We are having a party for Jimmy’s graduation.
M: Let me check. I’ve got a conference at four that should last about an hour and a half. I can come right after that.
5.A
【原文】W: You’re taking a history course this term, don’t you?
M: Yes, but I can never finish this weekly reading list, though some of the books are quite interesting.
6.A 7.B 8.C 9.A
【原文】M: I wonder if this is going to be an interesting class.
W: Yeah. Me too. So, what’s your major?
M: I major in business, but my father keeps telling me I have to work in the hospital like him the future.
W: Ah, that’s what happened to me in my freshman year. My parents wanted me to choose computer science instead of physics.
M: So which year are you in?
W: I’m a senior, and I only have to take 10 more credits to graduate.
M: That must be great to be almost finished with school.
W: You can say that again, but once I graduate, I have to start repaying my student loan.
M: Didn’t your parents help you out with your college tuition?
W: No. My dad thought I’m an adult, so I should earn my own education. I work in the summer and do a part-time job in the library to cover my tuition. I received financial aid in my third year, which really saved me. Because school was more demanding that year, I wasn’t able to work as much.
M: Well, you know, at least you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
W: That’s true. Oh, our teacher is coming. Let’s stop talking.
10.B 11.A 12.C 13.B
【原文】W: I have written down what you just said. Have a look at it and see if I miss something.
M: Oh, I saw the accident at 7:20 in the morning, not in the afternoon. And I saw it today, not yesterday.
W: Please correct them clearly for me. Anyway, since I have recorded our conversation, you don’t have to worry about the mistakes.
M: I saw the young girl wearing an earphone. She was probably listening to music. I’m not sure. But I would say the speed of the car was high instead of too high.
W: Why do you say so?
M: You see, after the girl was hit to the ground, she was still awake. She kept crying. That’s all.
W: OK. Please sign your name here, and here is your ID card. Thank you very much.

Since we started our company 18 months ago, we have been focused on one thing — bringing an affordable electric bike to the world in order to reduce the pollution caused by the cars and save our planet. And now it is our pleasure to reveal the fruits of our labor. This is our e-bike model, which combines speed and performance. It offers speeds of up to 25 kilometers per hour. Now, the color you see is called space gray, and will only be provided to our first 100 customers. However, don’t worry if you miss out. We will offer the bike in a range of colors, including sky blue, cherry red and midnight black, with more coming next year as well. We will be producing the bike at our head office in Germany, but we will be shipping them mainly to the US and the UK. Thank you for watching.

【原文】M: Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the Annual Ski and Snowboard Exhibition held from April 8th to 17th. I am Mark Granger, organizer of the event this year. The event features many highlights. This might be the first time coming here for some of you. So for those who are still wondering about the right accommodation, I recommend Sky Hotel. It has its own health and sports clubs just like most of the hotels here, but I love it because of its incredibly comfortable beds which guarantee good rest after a tiring day of exploration. Many have posed the question as to how to enter the skiing and snowboarding competition. Well, rather than filling out the back of the entrance ticket or flooding the committee with emails, the most effective method is by paying attention to the exhibition newsletter delivered every month for availability. As the most beloved local event, the exhibition has also drawn attention from the press. Last year, massive media expressed concern over the low snowfall. In order to avoid the same situation, several artificial skiing runs have been built. With more participants this year, we have lowered the entrance fee which has been widely reported by local newspapers.

24.B 25.C 26.D 27.C
【导语】文章主要讲述了研究发现植物能感知蜜蜂翅膀振动并提高花蜜糖分以吸引授粉者。
【详解】24.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Even on the quietest days, the world is full of sounds: birds chirping, wind rustling through trees, and insects humming about their business.(即使在最安静的日子里,世界也充满了声音:鸟儿啁啾,风穿过树林沙沙作响,昆虫嗡嗡地忙着自己的事)”以及第二段中“Sound is so fundamental to life and survival that it caused Tel Aviv University researcher Lilach Hadany to ask: What if it wasn’t just animals that could sense sound — what if plants could, too?(声音对生命和生存如此重要,以至于它促使特拉维夫大学的研究人员Lilach Hadany提出:如果不仅仅是动物能感知声音,如果植物也能呢?)”可知,作者在开头描绘世界充满各种声音、捕食者与猎物都能察觉彼此的存在,是为了引出下文关于植物是否也能感知声音的科学研究。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段中“In effect, the flowers themselves served as ears, picking up the specific frequencies of bees’ wings while tuning out irrelevant sounds like wind.(实际上,花朵本身充当了耳朵,接收蜜蜂翅膀的特定频率,同时屏蔽掉风等无关的声音)”以及第五段中“But for plants exposed to recordings of bee sounds (0.2 to 0.5 kilohertz) and similarly low-frequency sounds (0.05 to 1 kilohertz), the final analysis revealed an unmistakable response.(但对于接触蜜蜂声音录音(0.2至0.5千赫)和类似的低频声音(0.05至1千赫)的植物,最终分析显示出明确的反应)”可知,花朵能够识别蜜蜂翅膀的特定频率并作出反应。
26.推理判断题。根据第六段中“A sweeter treat for pollinators, their theory goes, may draw in more insects, potentially increasing the chances of successful cross-pollination.(他们的理论认为,对授粉者来说更甜的款待可能会吸引更多昆虫,从而增加成功异花授粉的机会)”以及“Indeed, in field observations, researchers found that pollinators were more than nine times more common around plants another pollinator had visited within the previous six minutes.(事实上,在实地观察中,研究人员发现,在之前六分钟内被另一只授粉者访问过的植物周围,授粉者的数量要多九倍多)”可知,实地观察的结果证实了花蜜糖分浓度提高所带来的好处,即能吸引更多昆虫、增加授粉机会。
27.主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Hadany’s team looked at evening prim roses and found that within minutes of sensing vibrations (振动) from pollinators’ (授粉者) wings, the plants temporarily increased the concentration of sugar in their flowers’ nectar.(Hadany的团队观察了月见草,发现它们在感知到授粉者翅膀振动的几分钟内,会暂时提高花蜜中糖分的浓度)”以及第五段中“Within three minutes of exposure to these recordings, sugar concentration in the plants increased by an astonishing 20 percent.(在接触这些录音的三分钟内,植物中的糖分浓度惊人地增加了百分之二十)”可知,全文围绕研究发现合适的声音(蜜蜂翅膀的低频振动)能让花朵变得更甜、进而吸引授粉者展开。
28.B 29.B 30.A 31.C
【导语】本文主要讲述了作者重新装修自己卧室的经历,以及这次改造给作者生活带来的积极影响。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第二段“Until recently, it was filled with large and heavy hand-me-down furniture that my parents were far more attached to than I was. (直到最近,房间里还摆满了又大又重的旧家具,我父母对这些家具的依恋程度远胜于我。)”可知,作者不得不反复劝说父母是因为他们珍爱这些旧家具。
29.词句猜测题。根据第三段“New to furniture hunting, I began my first searching online for furniture and art that felt more me. Finding pieces that were both the right size and style took months of patience — and a few probably unavoidable mistakes made by rookies. (作为家具选购的新手,我开始第一次在网上搜索更符合我风格的家具和艺术品。找到尺寸和风格都合适的家具需要几个月的耐心——还有一些可能是rookies不可避免会犯的错误。)”可知,作者是家具选购的新手,因此,rookies意为“新手,初学者”。
30.推理判断题。根据第五段“So I introduced softer furnishings (家具陈设), warm ambient lighting, heated blankets, and varied seating, which made me comfortable and helped me stay focused. (所以我添置了更柔软的家具陈设、温暖的环境照明、加热毯和各种座椅,这些让我感到舒适,并帮助我保持专注。)”可知,新增的物品反映了装修的实用设计。
31.推理判断题。根据最后一段“It’s no exaggeration to say that redoing my room has changed my life for the better. I now have a studio that fuels my creativity, a place that reflects my identity, and a soft landing spot for when life gets hard. (毫不夸张地说,重新装修我的房间让我的生活变得更好了。我现在有了一个激发创造力的工作室,一个反映我身份的地方,以及一个当生活艰难时的柔软落脚点。)”可知,重新装修给作者带来了精神回报。
32.B 33.C 34.A 35.C
【导语】文章介绍了科学界对怀旧看法的转变,结合神经科学研究阐述了怀旧在改善情绪、维系自我认知、增进社交联结等方面的积极作用,同时也指出过度怀旧会产生负面影响。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段“For much of the 20th century, nostalgia was considered by the medical community as a neurological disorder, a form of depression. However, contemporary neuroscientific research has redefined this emotion, revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a significant role in maintaining mental well-being and cognitive continuity. (在20世纪的大部分时间里,医学界将怀旧视为一种神经紊乱,即抑郁症的一种表现形式。然而,当代神经科学研究重新定义了这种情绪,揭示了它是一种复杂的心理资源,在维持心理健康和认知连续性方面发挥着重要作用。)”可知,怀旧过去被视为抑郁症,一种精神缺陷,但现在被视为一种心理资源。
33.推理判断题。根据第二段“Modern studies have found the neural correlations of nostalgia. When individuals recall nostalgic memories, there is obvious activation in the medial prefrontal cortex, a region related to self-reflection and recall of personal experience. At the same time, the brain’s reward system releases dopamine. This neurochemical reaction suggests that nostalgia is not merely a passive reflection on the past, but an active mechanism that generates positive effect to reduce present depression. (现代研究发现,怀旧具有神经相关性。当个体回忆起怀旧记忆时,内侧前额叶皮层(一个与自我反思和个人经历回忆相关的区域)会出现明显的激活。同时,大脑的奖励系统会释放多巴胺。这种神经化学反应表明,怀旧不仅仅是对过去的被动反思,而是一种积极的机制,能产生积极效应以减轻当下的抑郁情绪。)”可知,当个体回忆起怀旧记忆时,大脑的奖励系统会释放多巴胺,能产生积极效应以减轻当下的抑郁情绪,由此可推断,多巴胺在怀旧体验中的作用是有助于产生由回忆过去所带来的积极情绪反应。
34.推理判断题。根据第三段“One of the most profound functions of nostalgia is its ability to increase one’s sense of ‘self-continuity.’ Life is full of disturbing changes — moving to a new city, changing careers, or losing a loved one — that can break our identity. Nostalgia acts as a psychological buffer, bridging the gap between our past and present selves. By revisiting cherished memories, individuals confirm their core values and narrative identity, thereby reducing present anxiety. Research indicates that individuals filled with nostalgic reflections demonstrate greater optimism about the future and higher resilience against stress. (怀旧最深刻的功能之一是它能增强一个人的‘自我连续性’感。生活中充满了令人不安的变化——搬到新城市、换工作或失去亲人——这些变化可能会打破我们的身份认同。怀旧作为一种心理缓冲物,弥合了我们过去和现在的自我之间的鸿沟。通过重温珍贵的回忆,个人可以确认自己的核心价值观和叙事身份,从而减轻当下的焦虑。研究表明,充满怀旧回忆的人对未来表现出更大的乐观态度,并且更能应对压力。)”可知,生活中的变动会打破人们的身份认同,怀旧作为心理缓冲,帮人们确认核心身份,减少焦虑。因此提到“自我连续性”是为了解释怀旧如何在生活变动中帮人维持稳定的身份认同感。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段“For much of the 20th century, nostalgia was considered by the medical community as a neurological disorder, a form of depression. However, contemporary neuroscientific research has redefined this emotion, revealing it as a complex psychological resource that plays a significant role in maintaining mental well-being and cognitive continuity. (在20世纪的大部分时间里,医学界将怀旧视为一种神经紊乱,即抑郁症的一种表现形式。然而,当代神经科学研究重新定义了这种情绪,揭示了它是一种复杂的心理资源,在维持心理健康和认知连续性方面发挥着重要作用。)”并结合全文可知,文章围绕神经科学对怀旧的新研究展开,说明怀旧是复杂的适应性机制,对个体心理健康、社交联结都有积极作用,对应C选项。
36.B 37.G 38.E 39.C 40.D
【导语】本文围绕幸福感的认知误区展开论述,分析了生活安逸仍存在不满情绪的深层原因,指出真正的幸福源于接纳不完美、专注享受当下。
【详解】36.由上文“Most of us believe that when life goes well, we should automatically feel happy.(我们大多数人认为,当生活顺遂时,我们理应自然而然感到幸福。)”及下文“Many individuals who enjoy comfortable lives still report continuous dissatisfaction, often accompanied by anxiety or low mood.(许多生活安逸的人依旧长期感到不满,常常伴随焦虑或低落情绪。)”可知,上文提出人们固有的想法,下文给出相反现实,本空需要转折引出反差。B选项“然而现实往往截然不同。”承上启下,符合语境。
37.由下文“Once our minds engage in the process, we begin comparing our real life to perfect imaginary standards. Gradually, we stop appreciating what we have already had and instead concentrate on what’s missing. This kind of over-analysis actually ruins the happy moment.(一旦我们的大脑陷入这种思维模式,就会开始把现实生活和想象中的完美标准作比较。渐渐地,我们不再珍惜已经拥有的东西,反而执着于那些缺失的事物。这种过度分析,实则毁掉了幸福的瞬间。)”可知,下文在解释一种过度思考的行为及其危害,本空总起点明这种行为的来源。G选项“这种常见行为主要源于无休止的过度思虑。”引出下文,符合语境。
38.由上文“Your friends planned a great celebration with all your favorite things.(你的朋友们筹备了一场很棒的庆祝活动,准备了你所有喜欢的东西。)”及下文“Nevertheless, this is where our mind may make all the difference. You could simply embrace the happiness of the moment, dancing freely. Or, you might scrutinize (仔细检查) your emotions, thinking(然而,我们的想法在此刻会带来巨大差别。你可以单纯享受当下的快乐,自在起舞;你也可能审视自己的情绪,心里想着)”可知,上文交代生日派对的美好,下文对比两种不同心态,本空应说明开始对这场聚会做出评判。E选项“你可能会开始仔细评判这场派对是否达到你的预期。”衔接上下文,符合语境。
39.由上文“Or, you might scrutinize (仔细检查) your emotions, thinking(或者,你会审视自己的情绪,心里想着)” 及下文“This self-critical idea breeds disappointment, leading to profound dissatisfaction.(这种自我苛责的想法滋生失望,带来强烈的不满。)”可知,本空是内心产生的、带有挑剔意味的想法。C选项“要是我所有朋友都到场,我才会无比开心。”暗含对现状不满足,符合自我挑剔的语境。
40.由上文“Something might work for you.(有一些办法或许适合你。)”及下文“They will help us cultivate genuine happiness and enrich life enjoyment.(它们会帮我们培养真正的幸福感,提升生活乐趣。)”可知,代词They指代本空复数含义的做法,本空给出可行建议。D选项“接纳所有情绪,无论是让人煎熬的还是振奋人心的。”是可行办法,能够引出下文,符合语境。
41.A 42.D 43.D 44.B 45.C 46.D 47.B 48.A 49.D 50.A 51.A 52.B 53.C 54.B 55.C
【导语】文章主要说明了一项跨文化实验证明音乐有跨越语言传递简单信息的能力,舞曲、摇篮曲易识别,疗愈歌曲辨识度一般,而情歌最难分辨,原因尚不明确。
【详解】41.考查形容词。句意:安徒生这句话很动人,但学界学者通常对这样一种观点持怀疑态度:音乐里或许存在某种超越文化界限的普适性东西。A. universal普适的;B. similar相似的;C. elegant优雅的;D. innovative创新的。根据下文“music does indeed ____ the communication of simple ideas between people even when they have no language in common.”可知,下文研究探讨音乐能否跨越文化,对应超越文化边界、共通普适的特质。
42.考查动词。句意:然而这份怀疑或许毫无根据,哈佛大学的两位学者发表在《当代生物学》上的研究证明,即使人们没有共同语言,音乐确实能够促成简单想法的交流。A. weaken削弱;B. teach教;C. explain解释;D. permit使成为可能、允许。根据下文“even when they have no language in common”可知,音乐可以让互不理解语言的人传递简单想法。
43.考查动词。句意:该音乐集收录了多种多样的文化与语言,志愿者背景也各不相同,梅尔博士和辛格先生有理由确信听众既不熟悉这些乐曲,也看不懂相关歌词。A. concealed隐藏;B. instructed指导;C. arranged安排;D. represented代表。根据上文“To confirm this, the two researchers recruited 750 online volunteers from 60 countries. They played these volunteers 36 musical pieces, each 14 seconds long, and each drawn at random from one of 118 songs in a collection of the music of small-scale societies around the world.”可知,各类文化语言在曲库中被收录、代表呈现。
44.考查形容词。句意:该音乐集收录了多种多样的文化与语言,志愿者背景也各不相同,梅尔博士和辛格先生有理由确信听众既不熟悉这些乐曲,也看不懂相关歌词。A. unpopular不受欢迎的;B. unfamiliar不熟悉的;C. dissatisfied不满意的;D. disconnected断开的。根据下文“music and unable to understand the lyrics in question”可知,实验要排除熟悉乐曲带来的干扰,听众对曲子陌生。
45.考查名词。句意:每首乐曲播放完毕后,研究人员询问志愿者认为这首歌的功能是什么,并让他们用一到六分标注自己的确信程度。A. origin起源;B. rhythm节奏;C. function功能;D. relevance关联。结合后文列出的用途以及“of a song’s function”可知,询问歌曲的作用功能。
46.考查动词。句意:其中前四项是真实功能,由采集歌曲的当地人所说明。A. consumed消耗;B. controlled控制;C. excluded排除;D. stated说明、陈述。根据下文“by the people from whom the song in question”可知,这些用途是当地人陈述说明的。
47.考查动词短语。句意:最后两项是编造出来的,用来作为干扰选项。A. taken off起飞;B. made up编造;C. looked into调查;D. set about着手。根据下文“and were included as foils (陪衬者)”可知,最后两项用来充当陪衬干扰项,是虚构编造的。
48.考查名词。句意:梅尔博士与辛格先生发现,志愿者对歌曲功能的感知大多和歌曲真实功能吻合,只有一个例外。A. perceptions感知、看法;B. experiences经历;C. memories记忆;D. methods方法。根据下文“of a song’s function were generally in good agreement”可知,志愿者听完之后形成的看法感知。
49.考查形容词。句意:舞曲尤其容易识别。A. hard困难的;B. necessary必要的;C. inadequate不足的;D. easy容易的。结合后文“They rated 2.18 points higher on the certainty scale as being used “for dancing” than lullabies (摇篮曲) did; 1.38 points higher than love songs; and 1.09 points higher than healing songs.”提到舞曲在确信度上得分更高,说明更容易分辨。
50.考查副词。句意:与之类似,摇篮曲被判定用来安抚婴儿的得分,比舞曲高1.53分,比疗愈歌曲高1.42分,比情歌高1.19分。A. Similarly类似地;B. Consequently因此;C. Instead相反;D. Fortunately幸运地。根据上文“They rated 2.18 points higher on the certainty scale as being used “for dancing” than lullabies (摇篮曲) did; 1.38 points higher than love songs; and 1.09 points higher than healing songs.”可知,前面讲舞曲好识别,这里并列说明摇篮曲也容易被识别,是同类对比。
51.考查形容词。句意:疗愈歌曲区分度就要弱一些。A. troublesome难处理的;B. distinguishable可区分的;C. pleasant令人愉快的;D. theoretical理论上的。根据下文“They scored only 0.47 and 0.31 points higher than dance and love songs respectively for “to heal illness”, and were statistically indistinguishable from lullabies.”可知,疗愈歌曲和摇篮曲在统计学上难以区分,说明它的辨识度有限,比较难分辨。
52.考查名词。句意:但是例外情况是情歌。A. agreement一致;B. exception例外;C. mission任务;D. pattern模式。根据下文“Listeners could distinguish them from healing songs, but not from lullabies or dance songs.”可知,听众无法把情歌和摇篮曲、舞曲区分开,情歌是识别上的例外。
53.考查形容词。句意:情歌难以识别的原因尚不明确。A. different不同的;B. certain确定的;C. unclear不清楚的;D. abnormal反常的。根据下文“Because such songs involve showing off to the object of one’s affections, they may require more creativity,”可知,只是给出猜想,没有定论,原因不清楚。
54.考查名词。句意:因为情歌要向爱慕对象展示自己,可能需要更多创意,所以相比摇篮曲、舞曲会产生更多变化。A. energy能量;B. variety多样性、变化;C. interest兴趣;D. profit收益。根据上文“they may require more creativity”可知,创意多带来更多不一样的表现形式,也就是多样性。
55.考查动词。句意:或许浪漫场景里既有舞蹈又有柔声低语这件事,把听众弄糊涂了。A. satisfied使满意;B. disappointed使失望;C. confused使困惑;D. relieved使宽慰。根据上文“ both dancing and cooing (温柔地说话) are involved in romance ”可知,听众难以分辨情歌,是被这些元素混淆了。
56.but 57.itself 58.sitting 59.that 60.trained 61.should 62.is convinced 63.As 64.without 65.has forced
【导语】文章探讨了AI女演员蒂莉·诺伍德引发的争议,涉及AI表演对真人演员的威胁以及人性在表演中的不可替代性。
【详解】56.考查连词。句意:令人惊讶的是,她根本不是人类,而是一个由名为Particle6的公司创造的AI生成角色。not...but...为固定搭配,意为“不是……而是……”。
57.考查代词。句意:尽管Particle6自2015年就已存在,但直到最近几年,该公司才真正将自己重塑为一家AI制作工作室。reinvent oneself as为固定搭配,意为“将自己重塑为”,主语为the company,应用反身代词itself。
58.考查非谓语动词。句意:该公司甚至为蒂莉创建了一个Instagram页面,在编辑过的视频中,她坐在著名的脱口秀沙发上。此处作伴随状语,sit(坐)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语she之间是主动关系,应用现在分词形式表主动。
59.考查宾语从句。句意:工会认为,观众更喜欢真实的人类情感,使用AI复制品可能会夺走真人演员的工作。此处引导宾语从句,从句中不缺少成分且意义完整,应用连接词that引导该从句。
60.考查非谓语动词。句意:工会警告说,如果制片厂开始使用在人类作品上训练的数字化表演者,许多艺术家的努力将被窃取,他们的生计将受到威胁。此处作后置定语,train(训练)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑宾语digital performers之间是被动关系,应用过去分词形式表被动。
61.考查情态动词。句意:曾担任喜剧演员和网络创作者的范德维尔登解释了为什么蒂莉应该被视为创造力的来源,而不是对人类演员的威胁。根据句意,此处表示“应该”,应用情态动词should。
62.考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:即便如此,并非每个人都信服。convince(使信服)是谓语动词,与主语everyone之间是被动关系;句子描述当前的情况,应用一般现在时的被动语态;everyone作主语,谓语用单数形式is convinced。
63.考查定语从句。句意:正如一位制片厂负责人所解释的那样,AI表演者可能是可编程和可使用的,但它永远不会真正有感觉。此处引导非限制性定语从句,意为“正如”,指代后面整个主句的内容,在从句中作explained的宾语,用特殊关系代词as引导从句;句首单词首字母大写。
64.考查介词。句意:而没有真实的情感,它就无法完全表演。根据句意,此处表示“没有”,应用介词without。
65.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:目前,蒂莉·诺伍德可能还没有抢走任何人的工作,但她的出现已经迫使好莱坞面对一个无法回避的问题:是什么让一个表演者真正具有人性?force(迫使)是谓语动词,与主语her arrival之间是主动关系;结合语境可知,动作发生在过去并对现在产生影响,应用现在完成时;主语为单数概念,谓语用单数形式has forced。
66.Dear Jenny,
I’m Li Hua from Class 3.
I’m writing to tell you that I think it’s a little difficult for us to finish reading Jane Eyre within two weeks. The original version contains many complex sentences and unfamiliar old-fashioned words, which slows down our reading speed. Besides, we are burdened with heavy schoolwork, leaving limited spare time for reading.
I’d appreciate it if you could extend our deadline. What’s more, it would be better if you offered us some reading guides to help us understand the novel.
Yours,
Li Hua

67.
That night, Olivia lay in bed, worried about their relationship and the project. The bitter quarrel echoing in her mind, Olivia tossed and turned. She thought about how she had cut Clara off impatiently without letting her explain. She also thought of the half-finished slides, where Clara had contributed many creative ideas. Worse still, it was her own pursuit of perfection that had hurt the person who cared about her most. With a heavy heart, she picked up her phone and sent a message to Clara, making an appointment to meet at their usual cafe the next morning.
The next day, Clara arrived early at the cafe as promised. She looked exhausted, her usual bright smile gone like the sun disappearing behind clouds. Upon seeing Olivia, she explained immediately, “My bicycle broke down on the way. I had tried hard to walk to the school.” Hearing her words, Olivia apologized with guilt, “I’m sorry for being too harsh and rude.” Relieved and regretful, they hugged each other tightly. That whole day, they worked on the project with renewed cooperation. It dawned on them that true friendship needs communication and mutual understanding.
