“I can’t connect with your characters.”
I kept hearing the same feedback and was unable to understand why and not sure what to do. I was a character-driven writer. How could I mess up the one thing I was supposed to be good at? I was determined to convince my agent that these characters were real. After all, I knew they were real. My main character Lotus had lived inside me for years. I just needed to clarify her on the page.
I wrote and edited for a year, trying to respond to this agent’s feedback. But Lotus’ personality began to disappear. I tried to have her make “better” decisions, wear smarter fashion, and have more friends, as my agent said she acted “immature” and was “isolated”. And when this agent ultimately parted ways with me, I felt like I had failed. Now with time and distance, I realize I tried to fit Lotus into a neurotypical style to please my agent. And as a result, Lotus lost her Lotus-ness.
When that agent discouraged me from writing Lotus as autistic(自闭的), he said that would make Lotus seem more “vulnerable(脆弱的)” or an “obvious victim”. I didn’t want Lotus to seem vulnerable. Lotus’ autism is what makes her powerful, I tried to explain. But from a neurotypical perspective, Lotus’ autism could only be seen as a weakness.
Unsure of how to convince my agent of the strength and power autistic women hold, I began to write Lotus as “neurotypical”. And I failed miserably. After all, what do I know about being neurotypical? My whole life, autism was my default. Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world was “normal”.
My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent(神经多样性的) experience. With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her. And when I did, the characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.
Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing. For so long, I’ve combatted the advice to “write what I know”, in part because I didn’t know what I actually knew. I didn’t know I was neurodivergent. But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience, my writing is stronger. There is a power to our lived experience. It’s not a limitation on our craft, but a swinging open of the gates.
24. How did the author feel when receiving the repeated response from the first agent?
A. Confused. B. Convinced. C. Determined. D. Disappointed.
25. Lotus’ personality got lost because ______
A. Lotus no longer lived inside the author B. the author attempted to please the agent
C. the agent failed to sympathize with Lotus D. Lotus was considered childish and lonely
26. What do we know about the author?
A. She regretted parting with the agent.
B. She owed her success in life to autism.
C. She was aware of her autism in the early years.
D. She was empowered by her autistic experience.
27. What has the author learned from her own experience?
A. Stick to your dream despite discouragement.
B. Be true to yourself and write from your heart.
C. Giving in to authority is the barrier to success.
D. Everyone is born an original instead of a copy.
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. B

细节理解题。根据文章第三段“I wrote and edited for a year, trying to respond to this agent’s feedback. But Lotus’ personality began to disappear.( 我写了一年，编辑了一年，试图回应这位经纪人的反馈。但是Lotus的个性开始消失。)”和“Now with time and distance, I realize I tried to fit Lotus into a neurotypical style to please my agent.(随着时间和距离的推移，我意识到我试图把Lotus塑造成一种典型的风格，以取悦我的经纪人。)”可知，Lotus的个性开始消失是因为作者试图取悦经纪人。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“After all, what do I know about being neurotypical? My whole life, autism was my default. Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world was “normal”.( 毕竟，我对正常神经又有什么了解呢？在我的一生中，自闭症是我的默认症状。直到2020年我才被确诊，我以为我看世界的方式是“正常的”。)”和文章最后一段“But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience, my writing is stronger.( 但当我挖掘我的生活经历的特殊性时，我的写作就更强大了。)”可知，作者的自闭症经历给了她力量。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent(神经多样性的) experience. With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her. And when I did, the characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.(我现在的经纪人鼓励我根据我的神经发散经验来写作。带着这份邀请，我重新“拜访”了Lotus，看到了我第一次塑造她的样子。当我这样做的时候，角色和整个叙事开始变得更有意义。)”和文章最后一段“Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing. (把我的角色定位为神经发散者，不仅给了我作为作家的快乐，也让我写出了最精彩的作品。)”以及“But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience, my writing is stronger. There is a power to our lived experience. It’s not a limitation on our craft, but a swinging open of the gates.(但当我挖掘我的生活经历的特殊性时，我的写作就更强大了。我们的生活经历有一种力量。这并不是对我们的技术的限制，而是一扇敞开的大门。)”可知，作者从自己的经历中学到做真实的自己，写发自内心的东西。故选B。
C
To a chef, the sounds of lip smacking, slurping and swallowing are the highest form of flattery (恭维). But to someone with a certain type of misophonia (恐音症), these same sounds can be torturous. Brain scans are now helping scientists start to understand why.
People with misophonia experience strong discomfort, annoyance or disgust when they hear particular triggers. These can include chewing, swallowing, slurping, throat clearing, coughing and even audible breathing. Researchers previously thought this reaction might be caused by the brain overactively processing certain sounds. Now, however, a new study published in Journal of Neuroscience has linked some forms of misophonia to heightened “mirroring” behavior in the brain: those affected feel distress while their brains act as if they were imitating the triggering mouth movements.
“This is the first breakthrough in misophonia research in 25 years,” says psychologist Jennifer J. Brout, who directs the International Misophonia Research Network and was not involved in the new study.
The research team, led by Neweastle University neuroscientist Sukhbinder Kumar, analyzed brain activity in people with and without misophonia when they were at rest and while they listened to sounds. These included misophonia triggers (such as chewing), generally unpleasant sounds (like a crying baby）, and neutral sounds. The brain’s auditory (听觉的) cortex, which processes sound, reacted similarly in subjects with and without misophonia. But in both the resting state and listening trials, people with misophonia showed stronger connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions that control movements of the face, mouth and throat, while the controlled group didn’t. Kumar found this connection became most active in participants with misophonia when they heard triggers specific to the condition.
“Just by listening to the sound, they activate the motor cortex more strongly. So in a way it was as if they were doing the action themselves,” Kumar says. Some mirroring is typical in most humans when witnessing others’ actions; the researchers do not yet know why an excessive(过分的) mirroring response might cause such a negative reaction, and hope to address that in future research. “Possibilities include a sense of loss of control, invasion of personal space, or interference with current goals and actions,” the study authors write.
Fatima Husain, an Illinois University professor of speech and hearing science, who was not involved in the study, says potential misophonia therapies could build on the new findings by counseling patients about handling unconscious motor responses to triggering sounds—not just coping with the sounds themselves. If this works, she adds, one should expect to see reduced connected activity between the auditory and motor cortices.
28. It can be learnt from the new study that ______.
A. misophonia sufferers can’t help imitating the triggers
B. people with misophonia are more likely to flatter chefs
C. the brains of people with misophonia overreact to sounds strongly
D. misophonia sufferers tend to have similar annoying activities in their brains
29. Compared with people without misophonia, people with misophonia ______.
A. suffer less severely at the resting state B. own markedly different brain structures
C. react more negatively at a mirroring response D. lose control of their facial movements easily
30. What might be the significance of the study?
A. Improving speech and hearing science. B. Developing a treatment for misophonia.
C. Drawing people’s attention to misophonia. D. Promoting human brain structure research.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了发表在《神经科学杂志》上一项新研究将某些形式的恐音症与大脑中强化的“镜像”行为联系起来:当受影响的人感到痛苦时，他们的大脑就像在模仿触发他们的嘴巴动作。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“People with misophonia experience strong discomfort, annoyance or disgust when they hear particular triggers.(恐音症患者在听到特定的触发点时会感到强烈的不适、烦恼或厌恶。)”和“Now, however, a new study published in Journal of Neuroscience has linked some forms of misophonia to heightened “mirroring” behavior in the brain: those affected feel distress while their brains act as if they were imitating the triggering mouth movements.(然而，现在发表在《神经科学杂志》上的一项新研究将某些形式的恐音症与大脑中强化的“镜像”行为联系起来:当受影响的人感到痛苦时，他们的大脑就像在模仿触发他们的嘴巴动作。)”可知，恐音症患者的大脑中也有类似的恼人活动。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But in both the resting state and listening trials, people with misophonia showed stronger connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions that control movements of the face, mouth and throat, while the controlled group didn’t.(但在静息状态和听力测试中，恐音症患者的听觉皮层和控制面部、嘴巴和喉咙运动的大脑区域之间表现出更强的联系，而对照组则没有。)”和文章第五段“Some mirroring is typical in most humans when witnessing others’ actions; the researchers do not yet know why an excessive(过分的) mirroring response might cause such a negative reaction, and hope to address that in future research.(大多数人在目睹他人行为时，会出现一些典型的镜像；研究人员还不知道为什么过度的镜像反应会导致如此负面的反应，并希望在未来的研究中解决这个问题。)”可知，与没有恐音症的人相比，恐音症患者对镜像反应的反应更消极。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Fatima Husain, an Illinois University professor of speech and hearing science, who was not involved in the study, says potential misophonia therapies could build on the new findings by counseling patients about handling unconscious motor responses to triggering sounds—not just coping with the sounds themselves. If this works, she adds, one should expect to see reduced connected activity between the auditory and motor cortices.(伊利诺伊大学语言和听力科学教授法蒂玛·侯赛因没有参与这项研究，她说，潜在的恐音症治疗方法可以建立在新发现的基础上，即咨询患者如何处理触发声音的无意识运动反应——而不仅仅是应对声音本身。她补充说，如果这种方法有效，人们应该会看到听觉和运动皮层之间的连接活动减少。)”可知，这个研究可能的重要意义在于开发一种治疗恐音症的方法。故选B。
D
At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.
Science is key to addressing these issues. But it isn’t the only key. To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships. People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives. There are reasons why some see science as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes. Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyper specialist knowledge.
In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerful, but researchers and funders haven’t been as good at ensuring this evidence base responds to the needs and interests of diverse communities, or informs policy makers to take action. Science might be perceived as distancing itself from the personal, the poetic and the political, yet it is precisely these qualities that can be most influential when it comes to public interest in atopic or how a government prioritizes a decision.
A moving story well told can be more memorable than a list of facts. This is where the arts come in. Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories —subjectivities —into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.
In 2012, I set up artist residencies in medical research centres around the world. Bui was attached to the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam. The head of the research team was delighted, finding that Bui, as a Vietnamese artist, had license to be in, and to share useful insights from, villages where infectious disease researchers weren’t welcome. Six years later, I led Wellcome’s Contagious Cities program, which established artist residencies worldwide to support locally led explorations of epidemic preparedness. The recent pandemic made this work more noticeable, and has informed our Mindscapes program which is currently sharing experiences of mental health through the work of artists.
With pandemic, climate and mental health crises upon us, rising inequality and what feels like an increasingly broken world, never has there been more need to build and nurture hopeful and imaginative spaces to grow human connection and shared purpose for the common good. Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了作者认为科学可以与艺术相结合，并通过列举事实证明了这一点。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.(在越南的一家博物馆，Lena Bui的电影《Where Birds dancing Their Last》反映了禽流感后越南羽毛农场的美丽和脆弱。在卢旺达的一个节日期间，Ellen Reid在一场关于音乐、公园和心理健康的充满希望的讨论中分享了她的音频体验Soundwalk。这些是我多年来帮助实现的一些事情，在科学研究、艺术和倡导的交叉领域工作，以支持科学解决全球健康挑战)”可推知，作者在第1段列出了两部作品，主要是为了说明科学可以以艺术形式得到推广。故选D。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives.(人们可能并不总是认为科学与他们的生活相关、值得信赖或有意义)”以及画线词后文“from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes”可知，人们可能并不总是认为科学与他们的生活相关、值得信赖或有意义，所以有些人认为科学的过去有好有坏，从核武器到优生学，因此对科学提出的东西不感兴趣或怀疑是有原因的。故画线词意思是“有好有坏”。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories — subjectivities — into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.(艺术家可以给我们提供不同的视角，让我们一起思考和重新想象这个世界。他们可以通过将故事（主观性）带入画面来纠正科学中所宣称的客观性，这有助于培养一种联系感和希望感)”可推知，作者认同艺术帮助人们建立联系。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.(这些是我多年来帮助实现的一些事情，在科学研究、艺术和倡导的交叉领域工作，以支持科学解决全球健康挑战)”以及第四段“Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories — subjectivities — into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.(艺术家可以给我们提供不同的视角，让我们一起思考和重新想象这个世界。他们可以通过将故事（主观性）带入画面来纠正科学中所宣称的客观性，这有助于培养一种联系感和希望感)”以及最后一段“Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.(科学和艺术可以携手合作来实现这一目标)”结合文章主要论述了作者认为科学可以与艺术相结合，并通过列举事实证明了这一点。可知，A选项“艺术对科学的价值”最符合文章标题。故选A。
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Just think positively!”
“It could be worse.”
“You should look at the bright side!”
We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic(有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic? Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests? ____35____
“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform for primary care and mental health services.Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” ____36____ It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.
Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution to a complicated problem that we know nothing about, or not allowing people around you to appropriately express negative emotions.
Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. ____37____ “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” ____38____ “If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.
____39____ If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying “Just think positively,” we’d better say “Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help?”
A. Are there ways to avoid toxic positivity?
B. Toxic positivity also disrupts connection.
C. It can harm people who are going through difficult times.
D. This can come up in different situations when we are dealing with pressure.
E. They become more intense and can cause long-lasting health concerns in the future.
F. Experts say constant forced positivity can lead to the opposite, and have a negative effect.
G This is what we may bring on to ourselves by not allowing negative thoughts and feelings.
【答案】35. F 36. G 37. E 38. B 39. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，短文介绍了“有毒的积极性”的不良影响和应对措施。
【35题详解】
根据上文“How can positivity be toxic? Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests?”（积极性怎么会有毒？它不应该像名字所暗示的那样有帮助，或者是“积极的”吗？）可知，选项承接上文说明专家对此的观点。故F选项“专家表示，持续的强迫积极可能会导致相反的结果，并产生负面影响。”切题。故选F项。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.”（ 《有毒的积极性》一书的作者惠特尼·古德曼将“有毒的积极性”描述为“无论环境如何，都要保持快乐和积极的无尽压力。）可知，选项承接上文近一步总结所带来的后果。故G选项“这就是我们不允许消极的想法和感觉给自己带来的后果”切题。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse.”（有毒的积极情绪会让我们压抑自己的情绪，这可能会让情绪变得更糟）选项承接上文说明有毒的积极情绪的不良影响。故E选项“它们变得更加强烈，并可能在未来引起长期的健康问题”切题。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据下文““If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.”（如果我觉得你要不理会我，我就会停止分享我的感受，”古德曼补充道。）可知，有毒的积极情绪会会破坏人际关系。故B选项“有毒的积极情绪会会破坏人际关系”切题。故选B项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise.”（古德曼建议，如果你对自己使用了有毒的积极性，记住如果你对某件事感到不安也没关系。如果有什么事惹恼了你，那是有效的。她说：“让我们自己和其他人在经历困难的时候分享。” 古德曼补充道，随着生活压力的不断增加，“我们都必须学会以健康的方式应对和处理自己的情绪，而不是避免自己的感受”）可知，下文是对上文有办法避免有毒的积极性的回答。故A选项“有没有办法避免有毒的积极情绪？”切题。故选A项。
第三部分：书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共4小题；第40、41小题各2分，第42小题3分，第43小题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
E-waste is a serious problem that isn’t going to get better on its own. Here are some do-it-yourself tips on how to manage e-waste.
Maybe the biggest cause of our e-waste problem is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need. Next time you feel like you need a device or electronic item, stop yourself and ask if it is truly necessary. This is maybe also the easiest way we can manage e-waste. Organize your electronics. If you don’t keep your connectors, DVDs, wires and gadgets organized, you won’t be aware of what you have. When we buy duplicate electronics because we think we need them, we are contributing to our growing e-waste problem. “How to manage e-waste” becomes less of an issue when we keep our own houses in order.
If you do not need a piece of equipment and it is in good enough condition to be reused, donate it as soon as you can so that somebody else can use it. Donations are good for us because they are a useful way to get tax deductions, and a lot of times that tax deduction will be close to the value of the item had you tried to sell it. Take your electronics back to the store. Some stores offer trade-in programs, where you can drop off your old equipment in return for gift cards.
There are also places to sell electronics that might be valuable to somebody else. Just be sure to sell them right away, because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market.
If you are frequently receiving memory sticks and little gadgets, collect them into a good-e-bag. Whenever you no longer need a USB stick or a small electronic device, toss it into the bag. You might be surprised at how quickly it fills up. So be sure you are utilizing your materials and products thoughtfully. With these tips you can use DIY solutions to learn how to manage e-waste. Your house will be cleaner, you will save money and you’ll be doing a good thing.
40. What is the biggest cause of our e-waste problem?
_____________________________________________________________
41. How can people get tax deductions when managing e-waste?
__________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
Sell the electronics that you don 7 need right away because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get.
________________________________________________________
43. Why do we need to manage our e-waste? (In about 40 words)
_________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. The biggest cause of our e-waste is (the fact) that we buy things that we just don’t need./ It is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need. /(The fact)That we buy things that we just don’t need.
41. They/People get tax deductions by making donations. /Through donations./Donating is a useful way to get tax deductions./By donating (their equipment when it is in good enough condition).
42. Sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get. According to the passage, sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market./According to the passage, because the electronics lose value very rapidly in our changing market, the earlier you sell them, the more valuable they will remain.
43. Managing our e-waste can reduce the pressure on the environment. If we don’t deal with the fast-growing e-waste properly, it will pollute our environment or even affect the food chain. Plus, it can relieve the shortage of metal resources, because some metals in e-waste are reusable if they are recycled.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了电子垃圾产生的原因以及危害。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Maybe the biggest cause of our e-waste problem is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need.(也许电子垃圾问题的最大原因是我们买了我们根本不需要的东西)”可知，电子垃圾的最大原因是我们买了我们根本不需要的东西。故答案为The biggest cause of our e-waste is (the fact) that we buy things that we just don’t need./ It is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need. /(The fact)That we buy things that we just don’t need.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“If you do not need a piece of equipment and it is in good enough condition to be reused, donate it as soon as you can so that somebody else can use it. Donations are good for us because they are a useful way to get tax deductions, and a lot of times that tax deduction will be close to the value of the item had you tried to sell it.(如果你不需要一件设备，而且它的状况足够好，可以重复使用，那么尽快把它捐赠出去，让其他人可以使用。捐赠对我们有好处，因为它们是获得税收减免的有效方式，而且很多时候，税收减免将接近你试图出售的物品的价值)”可知，人们通过捐款获得税收减免。故答案为They/People get tax deductions by making donations. /Through donations./Donating is a useful way to get tax deductions./By donating (their equipment when it is in good enough condition).
【42题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“There are also places to sell electronics that might be valuable to somebody else. Just be sure to sell them right away, because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market.(还有一些地方出售对其他人来说可能有价值的电子产品。一定要马上把它们卖掉，因为它们在不断变化的市场中很快就会贬值)”可知，根据这篇文章，卖掉你不需要的电子产品，因为它们在我们不断变化的市场中很快就会失去价值。故错误的部分为“because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get.”。故答案为Sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get. According to the passage, sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market./According to the passage, because the electronics lose value very rapidly in our changing market, the earlier you sell them, the more valuable they will remain.
【43题详解】
开放题，言之有理即可，注意字数。题干：为什么我们需要管理电子垃圾？可回答：管理电子垃圾可以减少对环境的压力。如果我们不妥善处理快速增长的电子垃圾，它将污染我们的环境，甚至影响食物链。此外，它可以缓解金属资源的短缺，因为如果回收利用，电子垃圾中的一些金属是可重复使用的。故答案为Managing our e-waste can reduce the pressure on the environment. If we don’t deal with the fast-growing e-waste properly, it will pollute our environment or even affect the food chain. Plus, it can relieve the shortage of metal resources, because some metals in e-waste are reusable if they are recycled.

Li Hua
【答案】Dear Jim,
Thanks for your suggestion on using AI to finish the first draft of our paper. But after further consideration, I’m afraid it’s not a wise idea.
Firstly it goes against the purpose of project-based learning, which is to cultivate critical thinking and teamwork. Moreover, AI is unlikely to accurately present our ideas, because it hasn’t “got involved in” our project.
So, I suggest we write the paper ourselves. We can start by brainstorming together to create an outline after generating some original and creative ideas. Then we can work independently on different parts, and finally work together to finalize our paper. I believe we can do a better job than AI.
Hope you can understand. Expecting our distinctive draft.
Yours,
Li Hua

“I can’t connect with your characters.”
I kept hearing the same feedback and was unable to understand why and not sure what to do. I was a character-driven writer. How could I mess up the one thing I was supposed to be good at? I was determined to convince my agent that these characters were real. After all, I knew they were real. My main character Lotus had lived inside me for years. I just needed to clarify her on the page.
I wrote and edited for a year, trying to respond to this agent’s feedback. But Lotus’ personality began to disappear. I tried to have her make “better” decisions, wear smarter fashion, and have more friends, as my agent said she acted “immature” and was “isolated”. And when this agent ultimately parted ways with me, I felt like I had failed. Now with time and distance, I realize I tried to fit Lotus into a neurotypical style to please my agent. And as a result, Lotus lost her Lotus-ness.
When that agent discouraged me from writing Lotus as autistic(自闭的), he said that would make Lotus seem more “vulnerable(脆弱的)” or an “obvious victim”. I didn’t want Lotus to seem vulnerable. Lotus’ autism is what makes her powerful, I tried to explain. But from a neurotypical perspective, Lotus’ autism could only be seen as a weakness.
Unsure of how to convince my agent of the strength and power autistic women hold, I began to write Lotus as “neurotypical”. And I failed miserably. After all, what do I know about being neurotypical? My whole life, autism was my default. Not being diagnosed until 2020, I assumed the way I saw the world was “normal”.
My current agent encourages me to write from my neurodivergent(神经多样性的) experience. With this invitation, I revisited Lotus and saw her the way I first wrote her. And when I did, the characters and the entire narrative began to make more sense.
Identifying my characters as neurodivergent not only gives me joy as a writer, but it has produced my strongest writing. For so long, I’ve combatted the advice to “write what I know”, in part because I didn’t know what I actually knew. I didn’t know I was neurodivergent. But as I mine the specificity of my lived experience, my writing is stronger. There is a power to our lived experience. It’s not a limitation on our craft, but a swinging open of the gates.
24. How did the author feel when receiving the repeated response from the first agent?
A. Confused. B. Convinced. C. Determined. D. Disappointed.
25. Lotus’ personality got lost because ______
A. Lotus no longer lived inside the author B. the author attempted to please the agent
C. the agent failed to sympathize with Lotus D. Lotus was considered childish and lonely
26. What do we know about the author?
A. She regretted parting with the agent.
B. She owed her success in life to autism.
C. She was aware of her autism in the early years.
D. She was empowered by her autistic experience.
27. What has the author learned from her own experience?
A. Stick to your dream despite discouragement.
B. Be true to yourself and write from your heart.
C. Giving in to authority is the barrier to success.
D. Everyone is born an original instead of a copy.

To a chef, the sounds of lip smacking, slurping and swallowing are the highest form of flattery (恭维). But to someone with a certain type of misophonia (恐音症), these same sounds can be torturous. Brain scans are now helping scientists start to understand why.
People with misophonia experience strong discomfort, annoyance or disgust when they hear particular triggers. These can include chewing, swallowing, slurping, throat clearing, coughing and even audible breathing. Researchers previously thought this reaction might be caused by the brain overactively processing certain sounds. Now, however, a new study published in Journal of Neuroscience has linked some forms of misophonia to heightened “mirroring” behavior in the brain: those affected feel distress while their brains act as if they were imitating the triggering mouth movements.
“This is the first breakthrough in misophonia research in 25 years,” says psychologist Jennifer J. Brout, who directs the International Misophonia Research Network and was not involved in the new study.
The research team, led by Neweastle University neuroscientist Sukhbinder Kumar, analyzed brain activity in people with and without misophonia when they were at rest and while they listened to sounds. These included misophonia triggers (such as chewing), generally unpleasant sounds (like a crying baby）, and neutral sounds. The brain’s auditory (听觉的) cortex, which processes sound, reacted similarly in subjects with and without misophonia. But in both the resting state and listening trials, people with misophonia showed stronger connections between the auditory cortex and brain regions that control movements of the face, mouth and throat, while the controlled group didn’t. Kumar found this connection became most active in participants with misophonia when they heard triggers specific to the condition.
“Just by listening to the sound, they activate the motor cortex more strongly. So in a way it was as if they were doing the action themselves,” Kumar says. Some mirroring is typical in most humans when witnessing others’ actions; the researchers do not yet know why an excessive(过分的) mirroring response might cause such a negative reaction, and hope to address that in future research. “Possibilities include a sense of loss of control, invasion of personal space, or interference with current goals and actions,” the study authors write.
Fatima Husain, an Illinois University professor of speech and hearing science, who was not involved in the study, says potential misophonia therapies could build on the new findings by counseling patients about handling unconscious motor responses to triggering sounds—not just coping with the sounds themselves. If this works, she adds, one should expect to see reduced connected activity between the auditory and motor cortices.
28. It can be learnt from the new study that ______.
A. misophonia sufferers can’t help imitating the triggers
B. people with misophonia are more likely to flatter chefs
C. the brains of people with misophonia overreact to sounds strongly
D. misophonia sufferers tend to have similar annoying activities in their brains
29. Compared with people without misophonia, people with misophonia ______.
A. suffer less severely at the resting state B. own markedly different brain structures
C. react more negatively at a mirroring response D. lose control of their facial movements easily
30. What might be the significance of the study?
A. Improving speech and hearing science. B. Developing a treatment for misophonia.
C. Drawing people’s attention to misophonia. D. Promoting human brain structure research.
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B

【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Fatima Husain, an Illinois University professor of speech and hearing science, who was not involved in the study, says potential misophonia therapies could build on the new findings by counseling patients about handling unconscious motor responses to triggering sounds—not just coping with the sounds themselves. If this works, she adds, one should expect to see reduced connected activity between the auditory and motor cortices.(伊利诺伊大学语言和听力科学教授法蒂玛·侯赛因没有参与这项研究，她说，潜在的恐音症治疗方法可以建立在新发现的基础上，即咨询患者如何处理触发声音的无意识运动反应——而不仅仅是应对声音本身。她补充说，如果这种方法有效，人们应该会看到听觉和运动皮层之间的连接活动减少。)”可知，这个研究可能的重要意义在于开发一种治疗恐音症的方法。故选B。
D
At a museum in Vietnam, Lena Bui’s film Where Birds Dance Their Last reflected on the beauty and vulnerability of Vietnamese feather farms after Bird Flu. During a festival in Rwanda, Ellen Reid’s audio experience Soundwalk was shared in a hopeful discussion about music, parks and mental health. These are a few of the things I have helped bring to life over the years, working at the intersection of scientific research, the arts and advocacy to support science in solving global health challenges.
Science is key to addressing these issues. But it isn’t the only key. To achieve its potential and for its advances to be implemented and reach all who could benefit, science depends on trust and good relationships. People might not always see science as relevant, trustworthy or meaningful to their lives. There are reasons why some see science as having a chequered past, from nuclear weapons to eugenics, and are therefore uninterested in, or suspicious of, what it proposes. Others feel excluded by the incomprehensibility of hyper specialist knowledge.
In its capacity to build upon and test an evidence base, science is powerful, but researchers and funders haven’t been as good at ensuring this evidence base responds to the needs and interests of diverse communities, or informs policy makers to take action. Science might be perceived as distancing itself from the personal, the poetic and the political, yet it is precisely these qualities that can be most influential when it comes to public interest in atopic or how a government prioritizes a decision.
A moving story well told can be more memorable than a list of facts. This is where the arts come in. Artists can give us different perspectives with which to consider and reimagine the world together. They can redress the proclaimed objectivity in science by bringing stories —subjectivities —into the picture, and these can help foster a sense of connection and hope.
In 2012, I set up artist residencies in medical research centres around the world. Bui was attached to the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam. The head of the research team was delighted, finding that Bui, as a Vietnamese artist, had license to be in, and to share useful insights from, villages where infectious disease researchers weren’t welcome. Six years later, I led Wellcome’s Contagious Cities program, which established artist residencies worldwide to support locally led explorations of epidemic preparedness. The recent pandemic made this work more noticeable, and has informed our Mindscapes program which is currently sharing experiences of mental health through the work of artists.
With pandemic, climate and mental health crises upon us, rising inequality and what feels like an increasingly broken world, never has there been more need to build and nurture hopeful and imaginative spaces to grow human connection and shared purpose for the common good. Science and the arts can work hand in glove to achieve this.
31. The author lists two works in Paragraph 1 mainly to ______.
A. reveal the gap between science and art B. prove his competence in both science and art
C. introduce successful science-related artworks D. show that science can be promoted in art forms
32. What does the underlined word “chequered” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Recent and remote. B. Good and bad.
C. Usual and unusual. D. Peaceful and scary.
33. Which of the following would the author agree?
A. Policy-makers base their decisions on science. B. Researchers popularize science effectively.
C. Science is well received among the public. D. The arts help people build connections.
34. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Value of the Arts to Science B. Where Do Science and the Arts Meet?
C. A New Way to Fight Pandemic—the Arts D. Which Matters More, Science or the Arts?
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. D 34. A

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
“Just think positively!”
“It could be worse.”
“You should look at the bright side!”
We’ve all heard (and maybe used) these phrases without much thought. But they could be contributing to a culture of toxic(有毒的) positivity. For those new to this term, it might sound like an oxymoron(矛盾修辞法). How can positivity be toxic? Isn’t it supposed to be helpful, or “positive”, as the name suggests? ____35____
“Toxic positivity is when somebody avoids all negative thoughts or feelings, pretending everything is going well when it is not,” explains Melissa Dowd, a therapist at PlushCare, a virtual health platform for primary care and mental health services.Whitney Goodman, the author of Toxic Positivity describes toxic positivity as the “endless pressure to be happy and positive, no matter what the circumstances are.” ____36____ It’s also something we can cause other people to experience.
Expressing toxic positivity to others may look like offering them a simple solution to a complicated problem that we know nothing about, or not allowing people around you to appropriately express negative emotions.
Toxic positivity causes us to suppress our emotions, which can make them worse. ____37____ “Although it can be helpful to look on the bright side when facing challenges,” Dowd says, “not coping with negative feelings in a healthy way in the moment can lead to those feelings resurfacing later in different areas of your life or as a form of anxiety.” ____38____ “If I feel like you’re going to dismiss me, I’m going to stop sharing how I’m feeling,” Goodman adds.
____39____ If you’re using toxic positivity against yourself, Goodman suggests remembering it’s OK if you’re upset about something. It’s valid if something annoys you. “Allow ourselves and other people to share when they’re going through a difficult time,” she says. Dowd adds that it’s essential that “we all learn to cope with and process our emotions in a healthy way as opposed to avoiding how we feel” as life’s stressors continue to rise. For example, instead of simply saying “Just think positively,” we’d better say “Sometimes bad things happen. How can I help?”
A. Are there ways to avoid toxic positivity?
B. Toxic positivity also disrupts connection.
C. It can harm people who are going through difficult times.
D. This can come up in different situations when we are dealing with pressure.
E. They become more intense and can cause long-lasting health concerns in the future.
F. Experts say constant forced positivity can lead to the opposite, and have a negative effect.
G This is what we may bring on to ourselves by not allowing negative thoughts and feelings.
【答案】35. F 36. G 37. E 38. B 39. A

E-waste is a serious problem that isn’t going to get better on its own. Here are some do-it-yourself tips on how to manage e-waste.
Maybe the biggest cause of our e-waste problem is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need. Next time you feel like you need a device or electronic item, stop yourself and ask if it is truly necessary. This is maybe also the easiest way we can manage e-waste. Organize your electronics. If you don’t keep your connectors, DVDs, wires and gadgets organized, you won’t be aware of what you have. When we buy duplicate electronics because we think we need them, we are contributing to our growing e-waste problem. “How to manage e-waste” becomes less of an issue when we keep our own houses in order.
If you do not need a piece of equipment and it is in good enough condition to be reused, donate it as soon as you can so that somebody else can use it. Donations are good for us because they are a useful way to get tax deductions, and a lot of times that tax deduction will be close to the value of the item had you tried to sell it. Take your electronics back to the store. Some stores offer trade-in programs, where you can drop off your old equipment in return for gift cards.
There are also places to sell electronics that might be valuable to somebody else. Just be sure to sell them right away, because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market.
If you are frequently receiving memory sticks and little gadgets, collect them into a good-e-bag. Whenever you no longer need a USB stick or a small electronic device, toss it into the bag. You might be surprised at how quickly it fills up. So be sure you are utilizing your materials and products thoughtfully. With these tips you can use DIY solutions to learn how to manage e-waste. Your house will be cleaner, you will save money and you’ll be doing a good thing.

【答案】40. The biggest cause of our e-waste is (the fact) that we buy things that we just don’t need./ It is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need. /(The fact)That we buy things that we just don’t need.
41. They/People get tax deductions by making donations. /Through donations./Donating is a useful way to get tax deductions./By donating (their equipment when it is in good enough condition).
42. Sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get. According to the passage, sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market./According to the passage, because the electronics lose value very rapidly in our changing market, the earlier you sell them, the more valuable they will remain.
43. Managing our e-waste can reduce the pressure on the environment. If we don’t deal with the fast-growing e-waste properly, it will pollute our environment or even affect the food chain. Plus, it can relieve the shortage of metal resources, because some metals in e-waste are reusable if they are recycled.

【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Maybe the biggest cause of our e-waste problem is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need.(也许电子垃圾问题的最大原因是我们买了我们根本不需要的东西)”可知，电子垃圾的最大原因是我们买了我们根本不需要的东西。故答案为The biggest cause of our e-waste is (the fact) that we buy things that we just don’t need./ It is the fact that we buy things that we just don’t need. /(The fact)That we buy things that we just don’t need.

考查细节理解。根据第三段“If you do not need a piece of equipment and it is in good enough condition to be reused, donate it as soon as you can so that somebody else can use it. Donations are good for us because they are a useful way to get tax deductions, and a lot of times that tax deduction will be close to the value of the item had you tried to sell it.(如果你不需要一件设备，而且它的状况足够好，可以重复使用，那么尽快把它捐赠出去，让其他人可以使用。捐赠对我们有好处，因为它们是获得税收减免的有效方式，而且很多时候，税收减免将接近你试图出售的物品的价值)”可知，人们通过捐款获得税收减免。故答案为They/People get tax deductions by making donations. /Through donations./Donating is a useful way to get tax deductions./By donating (their equipment when it is in good enough condition).

考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段“There are also places to sell electronics that might be valuable to somebody else. Just be sure to sell them right away, because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market.(还有一些地方出售对其他人来说可能有价值的电子产品。一定要马上把它们卖掉，因为它们在不断变化的市场中很快就会贬值)”可知，根据这篇文章，卖掉你不需要的电子产品，因为它们在我们不断变化的市场中很快就会失去价值。故错误的部分为“because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get.”。故答案为Sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because the earlier you sell them, the more gift cards you can get. According to the passage, sell the electronics that you don’t need right away because they lose value very rapidly in our changing market./According to the passage, because the electronics lose value very rapidly in our changing market, the earlier you sell them, the more valuable they will remain.
【43题详解】
开放题，言之有理即可，注意字数。题干：为什么我们需要管理电子垃圾？可回答：管理电子垃圾可以减少对环境的压力。如果我们不妥善处理快速增长的电子垃圾，它将污染我们的环境，甚至影响食物链。此外，它可以缓解金属资源的短缺，因为如果回收利用，电子垃圾中的一些金属是可重复使用的。故答案为Managing our e-waste can reduce the pressure on the environment. If we don’t deal with the fast-growing e-waste properly, it will pollute our environment or even affect the food chain. Plus, it can relieve the shortage of metal resources, because some metals in e-waste are reusable if they are recycled.

Dear Jim,

【答案】Dear Jim,
Thanks for your suggestion on using AI to finish the first draft of our paper. But after further consideration, I’m afraid it’s not a wise idea.
Firstly it goes against the purpose of project-based learning, which is to cultivate critical thinking and teamwork. Moreover, AI is unlikely to accurately present our ideas, because it hasn’t “got involved in” our project.
So, I suggest we write the paper ourselves. We can start by brainstorming together to create an outline after generating some original and creative ideas. Then we can work independently on different parts, and finally work together to finalize our paper. I believe we can do a better job than AI.
Hope you can understand. Expecting our distinctive draft.
Yours,
Li Hua
