A few days ago, my husband, Russ, and I lost our house of 28 years to a California wild fire.
On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford. The next morning, we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we see photographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.
How are we going to rebuild after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. Is it even possible?
I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.
A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything we'd lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe it—there on a shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel in my pocket.
I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking point, I'd find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels."I'm sorry, "the cashier said."It's all we have."
It's all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-estate agent I'd been working with.
"I have a new listing," she said.
"When can we see it?"
A few hours later, Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the house.
I didn't think long. Because there, in the driveway, …

A. Remained. B. Changed. C. Strengthened. D. Sank.
19. What did the found nickels mean to the author？
A. Luck for the foreseeable future. B. Hope during challenging times.
C. Signs of a huge fortune to come. D. Reminders of what had happened.
20. Which would be the best ending for the passage?
A. I spotted a flash of silver in the sun, two nickels, both heads up.
B. I found an old nickel, which seemed to tell a story from the past.

Of the more than 3, 000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number specialize in sucking human blood. How mosquitoes track us down so effectively isn't currently known, but it matters, since they carry dangerous diseases which may cause death.
"In fact, stopping these annoying insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those disease each year," said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. That's why Gauff's team wants to understand how they find and target humans.
Mosquitoes mostly choose what to bite based on odor (气味). Knowing how a potentially disease-carrying mosquito finds a person, while ignoring other warm-blooded animals, is a key question. But it's not easy to answer, since any animal smell is made up of hundreds of chemicals mixed together in specific percentage."The actual chemicals that are found in human odor are basically the same as the chemicals found in animal odor—it's the percentages and the relative large amount of those substances in human mixtures that's unique," said Gauff.
To investigate, researchers decided to record neural activity in the brain of mosquitoes while exposing them to natural human and animal odor samples. They collected odor samples from about 40 different animals. When they compared some of those with the 16 human samples, something jumped out. Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. Common in the natural world, in humans, decanal comes from another, more complex substance. When one component of our skin's natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. It's what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us.
Understanding what the mosquitoes are targeting is only part of the story; knowing how they do it is also important. To see exactly how mosquitoes use this sense, scientists used genetically modified (转基因的） mosquitoes so that they could cut open mosquitoes' heads and watch neurons firing when they're exposed to human and animalodors. The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects' brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simple, down to just a couple types of neurons. "One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to both—but it responded much more strongly to humans than animals," Gauff said.
How to keep mosquitoes' decanal signal from being transmitted will be the research team's next focus. Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease.
21. What's the final purpose of the research conducted by Gauff's team？
A. To study why only certain mosquitoes suck human blood.
B. To investigate the neural activity in mosquitoes' brains.
C. To help prevent deadly diseases caused by mosquitoes.
D. To test the effectiveness of mosquito killers.
22. What can we learn from the passage？
A. Most mosquito neurons are not involved in responding to human odor.
B. Genetically modified mosquitoes are not sensitive to human odor.
C. Further research will focus on odor signal and neural connection.
D. Chemicals found in human and animal odors are quite different.

The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still "12345", "password" and "i love you". As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought—after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases, individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automated programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on multiple online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物识别的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tico, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份验证), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login systems in the next couple of years. "If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner," said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. "Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface," said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user's face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. "You'll never get rid of them," he said. "We're never going to get to the postsword era."
23. What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A. Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B. How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.
C. How passwords have caused us trouble.
D. Why passwords are difficult to secure.
24. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers.
B. Biometric authentication has its own set of problems.
C. TAK Cyber's login system guarantees the safety of data.
D. Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
25. What is Eric Brown's attitude towards a passwordless future？
A. Indifferent. B. Passionate. C. Pessimistic. D. Objective.
26. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Biometric authentication: password security solution!
B. Start-ups race to welcome a passwordless future
C. The argument to end passwords has begun
D. Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy?
The Positive Effects of a Positive Affect Parents often have high hopes for how their children will turn out in adulthood, such as wanting them to be healthy, to feel satisfied with their career, and to have strong friendships. (1)
Recent research suggests that a teen's affect—especially positive affect—is one critical factor. What exactly is affect? Affect is the tendency to express positive or negative emotions, which in turn influences how we experience things and determine whether to judge a given situation as positive or negative. (2) Moreover, research suggests that a person's affect is relatively stable over time, especially by the time one reaches adulthood.
Affect is typically described in terms of being either positive or negative, and it seems that positive affect, in particular, is related to a number of beneficial outcomes in adulthood.
In support of this crucial role that positive affect has in development, a study by researchers at the University of Virginia followed teenagers and young adults from ages 14 to 25, allowing them to understand the predictive power of positive affect across the critical developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood. (3) For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.
(4) Positive affect also predicted increased self-worth and job competence, suggesting that, overall, positive affect seems to be a key predictor of young adult success across several important areas of functioning.
But what about the effects of negative affect? The researchers also examined whether negative affect would predict problems in young adulthood. (5) Thus, the important takeaway is that adolescent positive affect may have powerful links to important life outcomes in the domains of personal well-being, career, and social relationships up to a decade later.
A.Affective responses to events typically happen automatically.
B.So how can parents help their children grasp the meaning of positive affect?
C.But what factors help produce these outcomes as teens move from adolescence to adulthood?
D.Interestingly, the results suggested that positive affect may go beyond helping teens build positive relationships.
E.The results uncovered that negative affect might account for many life problems when a teenager became a young adult.
F.Unlike positive affect, having greater negative affect did not have any significant associations with any of the later life outcomes.
G.This study found that positive affect was strongly predictive of life outcomes in young adulthood, such as developing better friendships.

29. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E F. F G. G

32. The other day I was having coffee and catching up with Brian, a friend I hadn't seen in over a year, when he asked me this question: "Do you regret leaving Google?" "Of course, I don't regret it," I answered. But when I reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization: We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
Truth is, not every decision we make will be the right choice for us. I learned later that quitting my one and only source of income to start an e-commerce business from nothing was a recipe for financial disaster. No, that decision was not the right one at the time. Perhaps I should've followed the advice I give today: Build your business while working a full-time job so that you can work from a place of stability. But then again, I wouldn't have learned such a valuable lesson had I not acted upon what was truly important to me at the time—the freedom of pursuing my own dream, on my own terms.
We regret what's in the past and can't be changed. We compare the choices we made yesterday to an ideal path that we think we should have taken—we simply imagine it to be a better path. What is worse is when stuck in regret, we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
There's a much better way to look at regret—a more mindful way—and it can be seen at a place where action, reflection, and gratitude meet.
So whenever you find yourself caught in regret, stop and ask yourself these two questions: "What have I learned from this? And how have I grown because of it?" Perhaps you might just shift your viewpoint from that of being upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful.
(1) What did Brian's question make the writer realize？
______________________________________________________
(2) List the two words the author uses to describe the viewpoint people should take when facing regret.
______________________________________________________
(3) Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can't be changed.

A few days ago, my husband, Russ, and I lost our house of 28 years to a California wild fire.
On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford. The next morning, we had to drive three and a half hours to find a hotel that had an available room. Only later, in the local newspaper, did we see photographs of the destruction. Our house had been consumed by the fire along with most of our neighborhood.
How are we going to rebuild after this? I thought, rounding a corner in the sidewalk on my walk back to the hotel. Is it even possible?
I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels. They were just nickels, but they somehow felt special. I bent down and picked them up. If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.
A few days later, I made a trip to the store to buy essentials. The enormous task of replacing everything we'd lost put a heavy weight on me. I was about to leave when I felt the urge to stop and turn my head to the right. I could hardly believe it—there on a shelf, was a nickel! Okay, maybe this is more than luck, I thought and put the nickel in my pocket.
I told myself that I had found the nickels just by chance. Then I found one next to my plate at a restaurant—on Thanksgiving, no less, when I was missing our house more than ever. It seemed that a nickel appeared whenever my spirits plummeted.
Whenever I reached my breaking point, I'd find another nickel. In the grass at the park, or near the tire of my car in a parking lot. Once, my change for a quick lunch was given entirely in nickels."I'm sorry, "the cashier said."It's all we have."
It's all I needed!
One day, I was sitting at the desk when my phone rang. It was a real-estate agent I'd been working with.
"I have a new listing," she said.
"When can we see it?"
A few hours later, Russ and I were following the agent down the driveway toward the house.
I didn't think long. Because there, in the driveway, …

Of the more than 3, 000 species of mosquitoes in the world, just a small number specialize in sucking human blood. How mosquitoes track us down so effectively isn't currently known, but it matters, since they carry dangerous diseases which may cause death.
"In fact, stopping these annoying insects in their tracks could save up to half a million lives lost to those disease each year," said Carolyn Gauff, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. That's why Gauff's team wants to understand how they find and target humans.
Mosquitoes mostly choose what to bite based on odor (气味). Knowing how a potentially disease-carrying mosquito finds a person, while ignoring other warm-blooded animals, is a key question. But it's not easy to answer, since any animal smell is made up of hundreds of chemicals mixed together in specific percentage."The actual chemicals that are found in human odor are basically the same as the chemicals found in animal odor—it's the percentages and the relative large amount of those substances in human mixtures that's unique," said Gauff.
To investigate, researchers decided to record neural activity in the brain of mosquitoes while exposing them to natural human and animal odor samples. They collected odor samples from about 40 different animals. When they compared some of those with the 16 human samples, something jumped out. Decanal is particularly rich in human skin. Common in the natural world, in humans, decanal comes from another, more complex substance. When one component of our skin's natural oils, sapienic acid, breaks down, decanal is left over. This acid is only found in human beings. It's what likely leads to the high levels of decanal that help the mosquitoes smell their way to us.
Understanding what the mosquitoes are targeting is only part of the story; knowing how they do it is also important. To see exactly how mosquitoes use this sense, scientists used genetically modified (转基因的） mosquitoes so that they could cut open mosquitoes' heads and watch neurons firing when they're exposed to human and animalodors. The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, so when they looked in the insects' brains, they thought they might see a lot of activity. But it was surprisingly quiet, meaning that the signal was perhaps quite simple, down to just a couple types of neurons. "One type of neuron responded really strongly to both humans and animals. Another type of neuron responded to both—but it responded much more strongly to humans than animals," Gauff said.
How to keep mosquitoes' decanal signal from being transmitted will be the research team's next focus. Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease.
21. What's the final purpose of the research conducted by Gauff's team？
A. To study why only certain mosquitoes suck human blood.
B. To investigate the neural activity in mosquitoes' brains.
C. To help prevent deadly diseases caused by mosquitoes.
D. To test the effectiveness of mosquito killers.
22. What can we learn from the passage？
A. Most mosquito neurons are not involved in responding to human odor.
B. Genetically modified mosquitoes are not sensitive to human odor.
C. Further research will focus on odor signal and neural connection.
D. Chemicals found in human and animal odors are quite different.

The start-up that attracted the largest investment in the history of cybersecurity, of more than half a billion dollars, has a simple goal: a passwordless future.
Despite the spread of password management software that can generate and remember complicated strings of random characters, some of the most common passwords are still "12345", "password" and "i love you". As a result, more than 80 percent of hacks involve these kinds of passwords; and passwords remain the most sought—after data by hackers, above other personal or sensitive information.
In many cases, individuals are tricked into handing over password details by phishing emails and other social engineering techniques. Hackers have sought to break into apps and steal entire password databases as well. Passwords are also under attack from new technology, such as automated programs that can rapidly try to guess them, or can try stolen passwords on multiple online accounts.
Since the need to replace the easily forgotten and highly hackable strings of letters and numbers that we use to access everyday life has become even more urgent, the race to replace the password is under way, with biometric-based (基于生物识别的) security emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions. According to Tico, a union of more than 250 companies, which promotes a standard system of passwordless authentication (身份验证), the vast majority of consumer services will offer passwordless login systems in the next couple of years. "If done correctly and safely, biometrics are really helping us move to a passwordless future in a rapid manner," said Andrew Jenkinson, CEO of Tieo.
But there are still risks associated with the use of biometric authentication. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be changed. This means such data must be closely guarded for privacy purposes and to prevent spoofing—hackers trying to trick cameras or sensors with photos, or masks of their victim. "Biometric authentication and passwordless authentication has its own attack surface," said Paul Smith, director of security research at CyberPek. His team revealed that it had found a design problem which would allow potential attackers to bypass facial recognition login by injecting a spoofed photo of a user's face into the process.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit. Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber, a cyber research and advisory company, argued that while sensitive applications may rapidly shift from passwords, other websites have less motivation to update their systems. "You'll never get rid of them," he said. "We're never going to get to the postsword era."
23. What is the third paragraph mainly about？
A. Why passwords are the most sought-after data.
B. How passwords are stolen by phishing emails.
C. How passwords have caused us trouble.
D. Why passwords are difficult to secure.
24. What can we infer from the passage？
A. Facial recognition login is the key to fighting hackers.
B. Biometric authentication has its own set of problems.
C. TAK Cyber's login system guarantees the safety of data.
D. Spoofing brings more problems than automated programs.
25. What is Eric Brown's attitude towards a passwordless future？
A. Indifferent. B. Passionate. C. Pessimistic. D. Objective.
26. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Biometric authentication: password security solution!
B. Start-ups race to welcome a passwordless future
C. The argument to end passwords has begun
D. Killing the password: a cure or a fantasy?
The Positive Effects of a Positive Affect Parents often have high hopes for how their children will turn out in adulthood, such as wanting them to be healthy, to feel satisfied with their career, and to have strong friendships. (1)
Recent research suggests that a teen's affect—especially positive affect—is one critical factor. What exactly is affect? Affect is the tendency to express positive or negative emotions, which in turn influences how we experience things and determine whether to judge a given situation as positive or negative. (2) Moreover, research suggests that a person's affect is relatively stable over time, especially by the time one reaches adulthood.
Affect is typically described in terms of being either positive or negative, and it seems that positive affect, in particular, is related to a number of beneficial outcomes in adulthood.
In support of this crucial role that positive affect has in development, a study by researchers at the University of Virginia followed teenagers and young adults from ages 14 to 25, allowing them to understand the predictive power of positive affect across the critical developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood. (3) For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.
(4) Positive affect also predicted increased self-worth and job competence, suggesting that, overall, positive affect seems to be a key predictor of young adult success across several important areas of functioning.
But what about the effects of negative affect? The researchers also examined whether negative affect would predict problems in young adulthood. (5) Thus, the important takeaway is that adolescent positive affect may have powerful links to important life outcomes in the domains of personal well-being, career, and social relationships up to a decade later.
A.Affective responses to events typically happen automatically.
B.So how can parents help their children grasp the meaning of positive affect?
C.But what factors help produce these outcomes as teens move from adolescence to adulthood?
D.Interestingly, the results suggested that positive affect may go beyond helping teens build positive relationships.
E.The results uncovered that negative affect might account for many life problems when a teenager became a young adult.
F.Unlike positive affect, having greater negative affect did not have any significant associations with any of the later life outcomes.
G.This study found that positive affect was strongly predictive of life outcomes in young adulthood, such as developing better friendships.

32. The other day I was having coffee and catching up with Brian, a friend I hadn't seen in over a year, when he asked me this question: "Do you regret leaving Google?" "Of course, I don't regret it," I answered. But when I reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization: We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
Truth is, not every decision we make will be the right choice for us. I learned later that quitting my one and only source of income to start an e-commerce business from nothing was a recipe for financial disaster. No, that decision was not the right one at the time. Perhaps I should've followed the advice I give today: Build your business while working a full-time job so that you can work from a place of stability. But then again, I wouldn't have learned such a valuable lesson had I not acted upon what was truly important to me at the time—the freedom of pursuing my own dream, on my own terms.
We regret what's in the past and can't be changed. We compare the choices we made yesterday to an ideal path that we think we should have taken—we simply imagine it to be a better path. What is worse is when stuck in regret, we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
There's a much better way to look at regret—a more mindful way—and it can be seen at a place where action, reflection, and gratitude meet.
So whenever you find yourself caught in regret, stop and ask yourself these two questions: "What have I learned from this? And how have I grown because of it?" Perhaps you might just shift your viewpoint from that of being upset and regretful to being appreciative and grateful.
(1) What did Brian's question make the writer realize？

7. 句意同上。A.routines常规；B.bonds联系；C.judgements判断；D.ideas主意。根据句意，孩子们通过照顾马与马建立联系。故选B。
8. 句意同上。A.technical技术的；B.survival幸存的；C.organizational组织的；D.social社会的，社交的。根据本句which can help them communicate with others，表明孩子们的社交技能将会发生积极的变化。故选D。

11.【答案】【小题1】
have been
【小题2】
to escape
【小题3】
more satisfied
【解析】1. 句意：在过去的三十年里，有许多研究表明，给别人写一封感谢信给我们提供了一个逃离负面情绪的机会。根据时间状语Over the past thirty years，句子谓语用现在完成时态，此处为there be结构，主语为many studies，为复数，故助动词用have。故填have been。
2. 句意同上。分析句子可知，opportunity后接动词不定式作后置定语，故填to escape。
3. 句意：即使我们不与任何人分享我们写的内容，完成练习的行为本身就会让我们更快乐、对生活更满意。分析句子可知，设空处与形容词happier并列，故用比较等级，表示“更满意”，故填more satisfied。
12.【答案】【小题1】
with
【小题2】
was told
【小题3】
that/which
【解析】1. 句意：六年前我在新加坡的时候，我给了一个出租车司机一张写有具体地址的卡片，让他尽快带我去那里。and前后连接两个句子，此处表示“有”，应用介词with，构成with复合结构：with+名词+介词短语，故填with。
2. 句意：在下出租车之前，我被告知，乘坐出租车是一次重要的经历，因为它会给人留下对这个国家的第一印象。分析句子可知，事情发生在过去，应用一般过去时态，此处表示“司机告诉我”，即“我被告知”，主语I和tell是被动关系，所以应用一般过去时的被动语态，主语是I，故填was told。
3. 句意同上。先行词为experience，指物，且从句缺少主语，所以用关系代词that/which来引导定语从句，故填that/which。
13.【答案】【小题1】
made
【小题2】
happened
【小题3】
complaining
【小题4】
if/whether
【解析】1. 句意：然而，互联网上充满了测验，帮助你确定你出生在哪个年代。此处为非谓语动词作定语，修饰名词quizzes，动词make和quizzes是被动关系，故用动词的-ed形式作后置定语，故填made。
2. 结合句意和at the time you first became aware of it可知，句子描述过去发生的事，应用一般过去时，故填happened。
3. 句意：但是，许多人虽然一边抱怨愚蠢的测验，但一边却仍然做测试，因为他们想知道测试的答案是否是正确的出生年份。此处是though引导的让步状语从句的省略，省略了主语many people和be动词，且主语people和动词complain是主动关系，故用动词的-ing形式，故填complaining。
4. 句意同上。分析句子可知，此处引导宾语从句，从句不缺成分，表示“是否”，故填if/whether。
14~16.【答案】B、A、B
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了西南博物馆的展品，项目以及会员福利。
1. 根据第一段中的The collections of the Southwest Museum represent Native American cultures from Alaska to South America（西南博物馆的藏品代表了从阿拉斯加到南美洲的美洲土著文化）以及第二段中的In its permanent exhibitions, the Southwest Museum presents the remarkable cultural diversity of America's earliest residents.（在其常设展览中，西南博物馆展示了美国最早居民的显著文化多样性。）可知，西南博物馆的藏品集中在美洲的本土文化。故选B。
2. 根据小标题PROGRAMS下的段落中的Throughout the year the museum offers a wide range of programs including: performances, classes, lectures, festivals, films and demonstrations by noted artists and other educational programs for members and the general public.（博物馆全年提供各种各样的节目，包括：著名艺术家的表演、课堂、讲座、节日、电影和演示，以及面向会员和公众的其他教育节目。）可知，游客在西南博物馆可以采访著名艺术家。故选A。
3. 根据小标题MUSEUM STORE下的段落The museum store offers beautifully...a 20% discount on all museum publications.（博物馆商店提供精美的西南银饰，普韦布洛陶器，和克奇纳娃娃。它还提供来自墨西哥和秘鲁的民间艺术。这家商店有大量关于美国原住民历史的出版物，以及一些著名的美国原住民和西部艺术家的出版物。博物馆会员在店内购物可享受9折优惠，购买所有博物馆出版物可享受8折优惠。）可知，博物馆会员可享受卡奇纳娃娃打九折的福利。故选B。

【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者住了28年的房子被大火摧毁，住在外面的酒店。偶然捡到2枚镍币，后来作者发现每当她精神落千丈时就会出现镍币的故事。
1. 根据文章第二段中的On that night, we had to leave our house and sleep in the back seat of our Ford.（那天晚上，我们不得不离开家，睡在福特车的后座上。）可知，大火过后，他们是在车上过了一夜。故选A。
2. 根据文章第七段中的Whenever I reached my breaking point, I'd find another nickel.（每当我达到临界点时；我就会发现另一个镍币。）可知，第六段划线单词所在的向子意思大致为：每当我的精神一落千丈时，就会出现镍币。划线单词plummeted大意为“心情低落，心凉”故选D。
3. 根据第五段中的If these were lucky coins, I could use all the luck I could get.（如果这些是幸运币，我可以用我能得到的所有运气。）以及下文作者收到房产中介电话要带她去看房子，可以看出作者捡到硬币对作者来说是幸运的。故选A。
4. 根据文章中作者总是在她心情低落时捡到镍币可以推测，接下来作者可能在车道上，户外阳光下看到了2枚镍币，这和第四段中的I noticed something up ahead—a pair of nickels, shining like precious jewels.（我注意到前方有东西：一对镍币，像珍贵的珠宝一样闪闪发光。）第一次发现镍币的情节前后呼应。故选A。
21~22.【答案】C、A
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了一队研究人员想通过研究蚊子为什么叮咬某一类人，找到阻止它们叮咬人类的策略，预防蚊子叮咬引起的致命疾病。
1. 由第二段内容（普林斯顿神经科学研究所的生态学和进化生物学教授Carolyn Gauff说：“事实上，阻止这些讨厌的昆虫的活动，每年可以挽救多达50万因这些疾病而丧生的人。”这就是为什么Gauff的团队想要了解蚊子如何发现和瞄准人类的原因。）和最后一段中的Gauff hoped their current work could be used to make mosquito killers and attractants to prevent disease.（Gauff希望他们目前的工作可以用于制造灭蚊剂和引诱剂，以预防疾病。）可知，高夫团队进行的研究的最终目的是帮助预防蚊子引起的致命疾病。故选C。
2. 由倒数第二段中的The research team already knew that mosquitoes have about 60 different types of neurons that sense odors, ...but it responded much more strongly to humans than animals," Gauff said. (研究团队已经知道，蚊子有大约60种不同类型的神经元来感知气味，所以当他们观察蚊子的大脑时，他们认为可能会看到很多活动。但蚊子的大脑出奇的安静，这意味着信号可能相当简单，仅限于几种类型的神经元。Gauff说：“一种神经元对人类和动物的气味反应非常强烈。另一种神经元同时对两者都有反应，但对人类气味的反应比动物气味的反应强烈得多。”）”可知，蚊子有大约60种不同类型的神经元来感知气味，但研究发现只有几种类型的神经元才会对人类和动物气味作出反应，可得出大多数蚊子神经元不参与对人类气味的反应。故选A。
23~26.【答案】D、B、C、D
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了很多公司投入到无密码的研究中，但是其中还有许多问题需要解决。
1. 根据第三段内容（在许多情况下，个人通过网络钓鱼邮件和其他社会工程技术被骗提供密码细节。黑客还试图侵入应用程序，窃取整个密码数据库。密码也受到新技术的攻击，比如自动程序可以快速猜测密码，或者在多个在线账户上尝试窃取密码。）可知，第三段主要讲为什么密码很难保护。故选D。
2. 根据倒数第二段内容（但使用生物特征认证仍然存在风险。与密码不同，生物识别是无法更改的。这意味着出于隐私的考虑，这些数据必须被严密保护，以防止黑客试图用受害者的照片或面具来欺骗摄像头或传感器。CyberPek安全研究主管保罗•史密斯（Paul Smith）表示：“生物特征认证和无密码认证都有自己的攻击面。”他的团队透露，他们发现了一个设计问题，即潜在的攻击者可以通过在登录过程中注入伪造的用户面部照片来绕过面部识别登录。）可知，我们能从这篇文章中推断出生物特征认证有自己的一系列问题。故选B。
3. 根据最后一段中的Eric Brown, founder of TAK Cyber..."We're never going to get to the postsword era."（网络研究和咨询公司TAK Cyber的创始人Eric Brown认为，尽管敏感应用程序可能很快就不再使用密码，但其他网站就没有动力更新它们的系统。“你永远也摆脱不了他们，”他说。“我们永远不会进入后密码时代。”）可知，埃里克•布朗对无密码的未来并不看好，持悲观态度。故选C。
4. 根据第一段内容（这家初创公司吸引了网络安全史上最大的投资，超过5亿美元，它的目标很简单：一个无密码的未来。）以及第四段中的Since the need to replace the easily forgotten ...emerging as one of the most sought-after solutions.（由于我们日常生活使用中容易忘记且字母和数字字符极易被黑客入侵，替换密码的需求变得更加迫切，替换密码的竞赛正在进行中，基于生物识别的安全技术成为最受欢迎的解决方案之一。）可知，本文主要讲很多公司都投入到无密码研究中，再根据倒数第二段中的But there are still risks associated with...or masks of their victim.（但使用生物特征认证仍然存在风险。与密码不同，生物识别是无法更改的。这意味着出于隐私的考虑，这些数据必须被严密保护，以防止黑客试图用受害者的照片或面具来欺骗摄像头或传感器。）以及最后一段中The biggest obstacle standing in the way of the start-ups hoping to kill the password is how to change years of habit.（对于那些希望消除密码的初创企业来说，最大的障碍是如何改变多年来的习惯。）可知，无密码研究中还存在许多问题，到底能不能达到，我们并不知道，所以D项（消除密码：治愈还是幻想？）是本文最好的标题。故选D。
27~31.【答案】C、A、G、D、E
【解析】【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了研究者发现青少年在向成年人转变的过程中，积极的情感将会对个人幸福感、事业成功和社会关系等方面产生重大的影响。
1. 根据上文Parents often have high hopes for how their children will turn out in adulthood, such as wanting them to be healthy, to feel satisfied with their career, and to have strong friendships.（父母常常对他们的孩子成年后的表现寄予厚望，比如希望他们的身体健康，对自己的事业感到满意，有牢固的友谊）可知是父母希望孩子们能在成年后获得好的结果，C项（但是在青少年从青春期走向成年的过程中，哪些因素有助于产生这些结果呢？）中的these outcomes指代的就是之前提到过的结果。故选C。
2. 根据上文Affect is the tendency to express positive or negative emotions, which in turn influences how we experience things and determine whether to judge a given situation as positive or negative.（情感是表达积极或消极情绪的倾向，这反过来影响我们如何体验事物并决定是否判断给定的情况是积极的还是消极的。）可知，情感是一种情绪倾向，是需要自我决定和自我判断的，A项（对事件的情感反应通常是自动发生的。）是对上文观点的进一步解释说明。故选A。
3. 根据上文In support of this crucial role that positive affect has in development...allowing them to understand the predictive power of positive affect across the critical developmental period from adolescence to young adulthood.（为了支持积极影响在发展中的这一关键作用，弗吉尼亚大学的研究人员对14至25岁的青少年和年轻人进行了跟踪研究，使他们能够了解从青春期到青年期这一关键发展阶段积极影响的预测能力。）可知，为了支持积极影响在发展中的这一关键作用，研究人员进行了研究；下文For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.（举例来说，报告认为积极影响更高的青少年对他们的朋友有更强和更健康的依恋关系。）说明积极影响的青少年更容易和朋友相处，所以空处应该承上启下，指出研究发现，G项（这项研究发现积极的影响可以更好的预测青年时期的生活结果，比如建立更好的友谊。）中的developing better friendships和下文事例中的had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends都是指和朋友建立良好的关系。故选G。
4. 根据上文For example, teens with a higher positive affect reported had a stronger, healthier attachment to their friends.（举例来说，报告认为积极影响更高的青少年对他们的朋友有更强和更健康的依恋关系。）可知，说明积极的情感给青少年带来良好的人际关系，而D项（有趣的是，结果表明积极的影响可能不仅仅是帮助青少年建立积极的人际关系）中的helping teens build positive relationships指的上文提到的和朋友之间良好的关系，是对上文话题的承接，讲了积极的影响的好处；下文Positive affect also predicted increased self-worth and job competence, suggesting that, overall, positive affect seems to be a key predictor of young adult success across several important areas of functioning.（积极情感也预示着自我价值感和工作能力的提高，这表明，总体而言，积极情感似乎是青年人在几个重要功能领域取得成功的关键预测因素。）也是积极影响的好处，also表明和选项是并列关系，都在讲好处。故选D。
5. 根据上文But what about the effects of negative affect? The researchers also examined whether negative affect would predict problems in young adulthood.（消极情绪的影响呢？研究人员还调查了负面情绪是否会预示青少年时期的问题。）可知，研究者针对负面情绪对青少年产生的影响做了研究。E项（结果发现当一个青少年成长为青年时，负面情绪可能会导致许多生活问题。）中提到了负面情绪实验所揭示的结果，是对上文提到的负面情绪研究内容的承接。故选E。
32.【答案】【小题1】We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
【小题2】Appreciative; grateful.
【小题3】When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can't be changed.
What people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
【解析】1. 【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者通过偶遇朋友并对朋友的提问进行了思考而感悟到了在我们后悔时应持有的态度和做法。
根据文章第一段中的But when I reflected more deeply on his question, I arrived at this realization: We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.（但是，当我更深入地思考他问我的问题是，我意识到：我们不能对生活中教给我们宝贵经验的事感到后悔。）可知，作者意识到的是，我们不能对生活中教给我们宝贵经验的事感到后悔。故答案为We cannot regret something that has taught us valuable lessons in life.
2. 根据文章最后一段内容（因此，每当你发现自己陷入后悔之中时，停下来问问自己这两个问题：“我从中学到了什么？我怎么会因此从而成长呢？”也许你可以把你的观点从沮丧和后悔转变为赞赏和感激。）可知，在我们陷入后悔的情绪时，应通过思考来转变观点，从沮丧和后悔转变为赞赏和感激，我们应持有的态度是赞赏和感激。故答案为Appreciative; grateful.
3. 根据文章第三段中的What is worse is when stuck in regret, we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.（更糟糕的是，当我们陷入后悔时，我们失去了对最重要的事情的控制：我们今天用时间做了什么。）可知，在人们陷入后悔时，更糟糕的是我们失去了对最重要的事情的控制。故答案为When people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that past choices can't be changed.
What people get stuck in regret, what makes the situation worse is that we lose our control over what matters most: What we do with our time, today.
