    It’s easy t assume that a vacatin t Bali will cst a small frtune. There are plenty f accmmdatins, fd and lcal transprtatin, and even the spas ffer massages and treatments at value prices. Hwever, yu can easily spend a week r tw in Bali fr under $2,000, withut having t sleep n the beach. Here are a few things t cnsider when planning Bali n a budget.
    What is the best time t visit Bali n a budget?
    If yu’re n a budget, cnsider visiting Bali during the lwer, wetter seasn, which runs frm Octber thrugh March. The crwds will be fewer, and bth htel rates and flights frm abrad are ften cheaper, except during the hliday perid between mid-December and early January, when crwds swell. The nly trade-ff fr the lwer prices is the wet seasn. This time f year isn’t always ideal fr sunbathing, and serius rainfall can make utdr activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy seasn, it desn’t usually rain all day lng. Expect bursts f sunshine between the strms.
    What is the cheapest way t get arund Bali?
    The abslute cheapest way t get arund Bali is by lcal bus, but it can take a lng time. There are als turist buses, including hp-n, hp-ff ptins, that travel between different hubs acrss the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, bth f the car and mtrbike variety, and the prices tend t be affrdable by internatinal standards. Mst drivers will ffer yu a fixed rate fr full-day hires r t get frm pint A t pint B, rather than using a meter.
    Remember t bargain; ding s is particularly easy when a driver is n his wn rather than at a taxi stand.
    Hw much des fd cst in Bali?
    If yu’re int fine dining, yu can end up spending a large chunk f yur budget n fd. Eating at the average restaurant geared twards turists is the best way t have a meal in Bali n a budget. A gd meal shuld cst yu arund 100,000 rupiah (arund $7), but if yu’re willing t subsist mstly ff f lcal specialties such as nasi greng (fried rice) and eat at lcal restaurants, yu can expect t pay arund 30,000 rupiah ($2) t get fed. Best f all, mst htels and guesthuses in Bali cme with free breakfast, and many ffer heavier ptins f ndles and meat that may keep yu full until lunch.
    1.Which f the fllwing situatin can be best described by the underlined wrd trade-ff in paragraph 2?

    3.In which clumn f a magazine can yu mst prbably find this passage?
    A.City and Transprt.B.Travel and Recreatin.
    C.Nature and Envirnment.D.Fd and Health.
    【答案】1.C 2.D 3.B
    【解析】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了三个去巴厘岛度假省钱的办法。
    1.词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“This time f year isn’t always ideal fr sunbathing, and serius rainfall can make utdr activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing.(每年的这个时候并不总是日光浴的理想时间,而且严重的降雨会使户外活动,如漂流、参观瀑布和梯田,没有吸引力)”可知,价格下降的原因是雨季这一代价。划线词意为“代价”。故C选项“为了防止病毒的传播,温迪取消了她的旅行”最能描述画线词,温迪以失去旅行为代价,换取防止病毒传播。故选C。
    2.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Eating at the average restaurant geared twards turists is the best way t have a meal in Bali n a budget.(要想在巴厘岛省钱,在一家面向游客的普通餐厅吃饭是最好的办法)”结合选项可知,在为游客量身定制的普通餐厅吃饭相对经济省钱。故选D。
    3.推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s easy t assume that a vacatin t Bali will cst a small frtune. There are plenty f accmmdatins, fd and lcal transprtatin, and even the spas ffer massages and treatments at value prices. Hwever, yu can easily spend a week r tw in Bali fr under $2,000, withut having t sleep n the beach. Here are a few things t cnsider when planning Bali n a budget.(人们很容易认为去巴厘岛度假会花一大笔钱。这里有充足的住宿,食物和当地交通,甚至水疗中心提供合理价位的按摩和治疗。然而,你也可以花不到2000美元在巴厘岛度过一两个星期,甚至不用在海滩上睡觉。以下是在规划巴厘岛预算时需要考虑的一些事情)”结合文章主要介绍了三个去巴厘岛度假省钱的办法。可推知,你最可能在杂志的“旅游和娱乐”专栏里找到这篇文章。故选B。
    Eliana Yi dreamed f pursuing pian perfrmance in cllege, never mind that her fingers culd barely reach the length f an ctave (八度音阶). Unable t fully play many wrks by Rmantic-era cmpsers, including Beethven and Brahms, she tried anyway — and in her determinatin t spend hurs practicing ne f Chpin’s cmpsitins which is knwn fr being “stretchy”, wund up injuring herself.
    “I wuld just g t pieces,” the Suthern Methdist University junir recalled. “There were just t many ctaves. I wndered whether I was just ging t play Bach and Mzart fr the rest f my life.”
    The effrts f SMU keybard studies chair Carl Lene are changing all that. Twenty years ag, the schl became the first majr university in the U.S. t incrprate smaller keybards int its music prgram, leveling the playing field fr Yi and ther pian majrs.
    Yi reflected n the first time she tried ne f the smaller keybards: “I remember being really excited because my hands culd actually reach and play all the right ntes,” she said. Ever since, “I haven’t had a single injury, and I can practice as lng as I want.”
    Fr decades, few questined the size f the cnventinal pian. If smene’s hand span was less than 8.5 inches — the distance cnsidered ideal t cmfrtably play an ctave — well, that’s just hw it was.
    Thse wh attempt “stretchy” passages either get used t mitting ntes r risk tendn (腱) injury with repeated play. Lene is familiar with such challenges. Brn int a family f jazz musicians, she instead favred classical music and pursued pian despite her small hand span and earned a dctrate in musical arts.
    A few years after jining SMU’s music faculty in 1996, the decrated pianist read an article in Pian and Keybard magazine abut the smaller keybards. As Lene wuld later write, the discvery wuld cmpletely renew her life and career.
    In 2000, she received a grant t retrfit a department Steinway t accmmdate a smaller keybard, and the benefits were immediate. In additin t relieving injury caused by verextended fingers, she said, it gave thse with smaller spans the ability t play classic cmpsitins taken fr granted by larger-handed cunterparts.
    Smaller keybards instill many with new cnfidence. It’s nt their wn limitatins that have held them back, they realize; it’s the limitatins f the instruments themselves. Fr thse devted t a life f making music, it’s as if a clud has suddenly lifted.
    4.What is the similarity between Eliana Yi and Carl Lene?
    A.Their interest in jazz extended t classical music.
    B.Shrt hand span used t restrict their music career.
    C.They bth jined SMU’s music faculty years ag.
    D.Rmantic-era cmpsers’ music was easy fr them.
    5.Why did SMU initiate an effrt t scale dwn the pian?
    A.T reduce the number f ctaves.
    B.T incrprate Bach int its music prgram.
    C.T prvide fair pprtunities fr pian majrs.
    D.T encurage pianists t spend mre hurs practicing.
    6.Hw did Yi prbably feel when she played the retrfitted pian?
    A.Cnfident.B.Frustrated.C.Challenging.D.Determined.
    7.Which f the fllwing is the best title f the passage?
    A.Wh Qualifies as an Ideal Pianist?
    B.Traditinal r Innvative Pian?
    C.Hard-wrking Pianists Pays ff
    D.The Stry behind Retrfitted Pians
    【答案】4.B 5.C 6.A 7.D
    【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了南方卫理公会大学的音乐系教授Carl Lene如何引入小钢琴键盘来改变钢琴教育的现状和Eliana Yi使用小钢琴键盘的经历。
    4.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Eliana Yi dreamed f pursuing pian perfrmance in cllege, never mind that her fingers culd barely reach the length f an ctave (八度音阶).( Eliana Yi在大学时梦想着从事钢琴演奏,尽管她的手指几乎达不到一个八度音程的长度。)”以及第二段中““I wuld just g t pieces,” the Suthern Methdist University junir recalled. “There were just t many ctaves. I wndered whether I was just ging t play Bach and Mzart fr the rest f my life.”(“我会崩溃,”这位南卫理公会大学的大三学生回忆说。“八度太多了。我想知道我的余生是否只会演奏巴赫和莫扎特。”)”以及第六段中“Lene is familiar with such challenges. Brn int a family f jazz musicians, she instead favred classical music and pursued pian despite her small hand span and earned a dctrate in musical arts.( Lene Lene对这些挑战很熟悉。她出生在一个爵士音乐家的家庭,但她更喜欢古典音乐,并且尽管她的手指距离较小,她还是选择了追求钢琴,并获得了音乐艺术博士学位。)”可知,短手距限制了她们的音乐事业,这是Eliana Yi和Carl Lene之间的相似之处。故选B。
    5.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Twenty years ag, the schl became the first majr university in the U.S. t incrprate smaller keybards int its music prgram, leveling the playing field fr Yi and ther pian majrs.( 20年前,该校成为美国第一所将小型键盘纳入音乐课程的主要大学,为Yi和其他钢琴专业的学生创造了公平的竞争环境。)”可知,SMU将将小型键盘纳入音乐课程是为Yi和其他钢琴专业的学生创造了公平的竞争环境。故选C。
    6.细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Smaller keybards instill many with new cnfidence. It’s nt their wn limitatins that have held them back, they realize; it’s the limitatins f the instruments themselves. (更小的键盘给许多人注入了新的信心。他们意识到,阻碍他们前进的不是他们自身的局限;这是仪器本身的局限性。)”可知,当她弹奏这架改装过的钢琴时,她感觉到非常有信心。故选A。
    7.主旨大意题。通读全文,文章主要讲述了南方卫理公会大学的音乐系教授Carl Lene如何引入小钢琴键盘来改变钢琴教育的现状。过去,人们对于传统钢琴的尺寸几乎没有质疑,导致手指长度不够的人无法舒适地演奏八度音阶。然而,通过引入小钢琴键盘,这些人可以更轻松地演奏,并且不再受到手指过度伸展而导致的伤害。这一改变不仅让那些手指长度较短的人有了更多的机会演奏经典作品,也给他们带来了新的信心和动力。D选项“The Stry behind Retrfitted Pians(改装钢琴背后的故事)”概括文章主要内容。故选D。
    The urgency and imprtance f Cvid-19 ver (he past year have driven almst everything else frm mst leaders5 minds. But since the vaccine is kicking in, Britain's gvernment is nce again beginning t think abut the things that will matter later. Next week, it is expected t publish a 'plan fr grwth“ t bst prductivity, with innvatin at its centre.
    The wrld may be n the pint f a technlgical bm with life sciences, at which Britain excels. Innvatin is crucial t prductivity, but n this frnt Britain's perfrmance has lagged behind its cmpetitrs' in recent years. Its lw spending n Research and Develpment (R&D) argues fr a bst. Thse wh attributed the financial failure in the 1970s t the insufficiency f research funds may regard this as a threat t ecnmic grwth. Prmting innvatin can quickly (um int an exercise in picking winners - r, as is mre ften the case, lsers.
    A secnd danger is that plicy agendas get mixed up. The gvernment has prmised t "level up” prer areas f the cuntry, s deprived twns are campaigning fr mre mney fr their universities. But trying t bst innvatin by sending mney t weak institutins is likely t make ur leading universities lse their advantages, thus prducing average ideas that culd have been remarkable. Britain's research-funding system has always been elitist(精英主义的). It shuld stay that way.
    The gvernment's first mve in bsting innvatin was the annuncement f a plan fr an Advanced Research and Inventin Agency (ARIA). ARlA's purpse is t fund high-risk, high-reward research. But mney is nt all that mailers. The successful translatin f life science research int treatments during the pandemic suggests sme inexpensive measures that can als make a difference.
    One is t speed up gvernmental prcesses. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulatr mved during the pandemic is ne reasn why the vaccine rllut is racing thrugh the ppulatin. Urgency is nt unique l pandemics. Getting things dne quickly can make an investment wrthwhile and determine where a businessman chses as a base.
    Anther useful measure the gvernment shuld use is its unique ability t vercme barriers. At the beginning f the pandemic. Cvid-19 researchers were unable t gain access t different strands f health service data. The gvernment eased restrictins n existing data and allwed researchers t ask peple wh had tested psitive tr Cvid-19 t jin trials. Bth were crucial t the effrt.
    A last principle is the value f cnnectins between the gvernment and the private sectr. Kate Bingham, a venture capitalist wh led the vaccine-purchase effrt, understd hw t deal with drug cmpanies. Many f the civil servants wrking with her had cmmercial experience. The gvernments clseness t business during the pandemic has been criticized. But withut it, the vaccine effrt wuld nt have succeeded.
    Innvatin tk human beings frm caves t cmputers. Gd educatin, a welcming immigratin plicy and a friendly business envirnment will d mst t tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame burning.
    8.What des the underlined wrd "this" in Paragraph 2 refer t?
    A.Investing insufficient mney in innvatin.B.Prmting innvatin in technlgy.
    C.Applying science results t practical uses.D.Distributing funds t weak institutins.
    9.What's the pssible cnsequence f the British gvernment's attempt t "level up'' prer areas?
    A.Britain's research-funding system will remain elitist.
    B.Weak institutins are mre likely t prduce remarkable results.
    C.The utstanding universities will be unable t exhibit remarkable ideas.
    D.Bth pr and rich areas in the cuntry will develp in a balanced way.
    10.What can be inferred frm the three principles put frward by the writer?
    A.A businessman is mre willing t set up business where gvernments shw high efficiency.
    B.The administrative abilities are s unique t the gvernment that they actually yield little fruit.
    C.The gvernment ceased the cperatin with private sectrs fr the criticism they had received.
    D.The rllut f the vaccine was made pssible mainly because the public respnded quickly.
    11.What's the best title f the passage?
    A.Hw Gvernments Fuel the Sparks f Innvatin
    B.Why the Brits Struggle in the Tech Race
    C.Hw Gvernments Benefit frm Innvatin
    D.What Peple Gain with the Light f Technlgy
    【答案】8.A 9.C 10.A 11.A
    【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述了英国政府预计并以创新为中心,发布“增长计划”以提高生产力,并着重介绍了创新应该遵守的原则。
    8.词义猜测题。由第二段“Thse wh attributed the financial failure in the 1970s t the insufficiency f research funds may regard this as a threat t ecnmic grwth.”(那些将70年代的金融失败归因于研究资金不足的人可能将其视为对经济增长的威胁。)由文中这些人归因于资金不足,可知this指代研究资金不足。故选A项。
    9.细节理解题。由第三段“But trying t bst innvatin by sending mney t weak institutins is likely t make ur leading universities lse their advantages, thus prducing average ideas that culd have been remarkable.”(推行该政策,贫穷的城镇为他们的大学争取更多的资金,但是试图通过向弱势机构捐款来促进创新,这可能会使我们的领先大学失去优势,产出那些本可以卓越的普通想法。)可知,英国政府推行此政策,一些领先大学会失去自身的优势,也就是C项“大学无法展示出卓越的思想”。故选C项。
    10.推理判断题。由文章第五段可知,“One is t speed up gvernmental prcesses. The rapidity with which Britain's medical regulatr mved during the pandemic is ne reasn why the vaccine rllut is racing thrugh the ppulatin. ”(大流行期间,英国医疗监管机构迅速采取行动,是疫苗快速普及的原因之一。)可知,D项“之所以能够推出这种疫苗,主要是因为公众反应迅速。”故D说法不对。后半句“Getting things dne quickly can make an investment wrthwhile and determine where a businessman chses as a base. ”(快速完成工作可以使您值得投资,并确定商人选择作为基地的位置),所以效率高的地方更值得投资。A项“商人更愿意在政府表现出高效率的地方开展业务”。A说法符合题意。由文章倒数第二段“The gvernments clseness t business during the pandemic has been criticized. But withut it, the vaccine effrt wuld nt have succeeded.”( 大流行期间政府与商业的亲密关系受到了批评。但是,如果没有它,疫苗工作将不会成功。政府和商业进行了合作。)可知政府和商业进行了合作,故C不对。低六段“The gvernment eased restrictins n existing data and allwed researchers t ask peple wh had tested psitive tr Cvid-19 t jin trials. Bth were crucial t the effrt.”(政府放宽了对现有数据的限制,并允许研究人员参加对Cvid-19呈阳性反应的人试验。 两者对于这项工作都是至关重要的。政府的能力在疫情期间是值得肯定的,所以B项“政府的行政能力是如此独特,以至于实际上他们收效甚微。”说法不正确。故选A项。
    11.主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Next week, it is expected t publish a 'plan fr grwth“ t bst prductivity, with innvatin at its centre.”(下周,预计将发布“增长计划”以提高生产力,并以创新为中心。以及下文提到的原则。)可知,还有最后一段Gd educatin, a welcming immigratin plicy and a friendly business envirnment will d mst t tend it. But a new sensible principles can help keep the flame burning.(良好的教育,热情的移民政策和友善的商业环境将最有助于实现这一目标。但是新的明智原则可以帮助保持火焰燃烧。)可知,全文主要讲创新的原则,应该怎么激发创新,故选A项。
    A handshake seems t be a nrmal gesture. In fact, in the 9th century BC, an ancient site during the ruling f Shalmaneser III clearly shws tw figures hlding hands. The Iliad, usually dated t the 8th century BC, mentins that tw characters “taking each ther’s hands and expressing their lyalty.” Centuries later, Shakespeare nce wrte f tw characters wh shk hands and swre t be brthers in the bk As Yu Like It. Shaking hands seems t be an ancient custm whse rts have disappeared in the sands f time.
    Histrians wh have studied ancient etiquette (礼仪) bks nte that the mdem handshake did nt appear until the middle f the 19th century, when it was cnsidered a slightly inapprpriate gesture that culd nly be used between friends. But what if Shakespeare had written abut handshaking hundreds f years earlier?
    Accrding t authr Trbjdm Lundmark in his Tales f Hi and Bye: Greeting and Parting Rituals Arund the Wrld. the prblem cmes in differing definitins f the handshake. The early handshakes mentined abve were part f making deals r peace; King Shalmaneser III referred t a rebellin in which he signed a treaty with the King f Babyln. In the Iliad, Dimedes and Glaucus shk hands when they realized they were guest-friends, and Dimedes declared: 66Lefs nt try t kill each ther. Shakespeare was similarly referencing settlement f a cnflict.
    The mdern handshake as a frm f greeting is harder t trace. As a Dutch scilgist Herman Rdenburg — the chief authrity fr the histry f handshaking ——wrte in a chapter f an anthlgy called A Cultural Histry f Gesture, “Mre than in any ther field, that f the study f gesture is ne in which the histrian has t make the mst f nly a few clues”.
    One f the earliest clues he cites is a 16th-century German translatin f the French writer Rabelais’s Gargantua and Pantagruel. When ne character meets Gargantua, Rabelais writes, ”He was greeted by cuntless hugs and cuntless gd days.” But accrding t Rdenburg, the 16th-century German translatin added references t shaking hands.
    A ppular saying suggests that Cleland’s statements against bwing were actually a wish t g back t a ptentially traditinal methd f greeting in Eurpe. As the centuries prgressed, handshaking was replaced by mre hierarchical (等级的)ways f greeting - like bwing. Accrding t Rdenburg, handshaking survived in a few remte places, like in Dutch twns where sme wuld use the gesture t make peace after disagreements. Arund the same time, thse wh valued equality als made use f handshaking. Then, as the Cntinent’s hierarchy was weakened, handshaking became a cmmn practice amng peple f the same rank, as it is tday.
    12.Why des the authr mentin Shakespeare in the first tw paragraphs?
    A.T prve that the histry f handshaking is hard t find.
    B.T illustrate that handshaking is a very ld custm.
    C.T shw readers that handshaking is cmmn in fictin.
    D.T explain the value f handshaking in cmmunicatin.
    13.What can we learn abut handshaking frm the passage?
    A.The rigin f handshaking as a frm f greeting is easy t trace.
    B.Citizens usually shake hands t shw friendliness in Hlland.
    C.It was used nly between friends and t reach an agreement.
    D.It is a cmmn practice between peple f different scial psitins.
    14.Which f the fllwing is similar in meaning t “anthlgy” in Para. 4?
    A.the science f mental ability
    B.a cllectin f selected literary passages
    C.a daily written recrd f experiences
    D.all the living things f a particular regin
    15.What can be inferred frm the last paragraph f the passage?
    A.The handshake has disappeared in sme remte parts f the Netherlands.
    B.Handshaking has different meanings in different Eurpean cuntries.
    C.Handshakes are nw cmmn between peple f different psitins.
    D.Mst Eurpeans prefer t shake hands wing t the weakening effect f rank.
    【答案】12.B 13.C 14.B 15.D
    【解析】本文是一篇说明文,这篇文章主要讲述了握手这一古老的礼仪习俗的起源和演变。最后,文章指出握手在欧洲逐渐被鞠躬等更具等级意味的问候方式取代,但在一些地方仍然保留下来,并逐渐成为同等地位人们之间的常见问候方式。
    12.推理判断题。根据第一段中“Centuries later, Shakespeare nce wrte f tw characters wh shk hands and swre t be brthers in the bk As Yu Like It. Shaking hands seems t be an ancient custm whse rts have disappeared in the sands f time.(几个世纪后,莎士比亚曾在《皆大欢喜》中描写两个人物握手并发誓要成为兄弟。握手似乎是一种古老的习俗,其根源已消失在时间的长河中。)”以及第二段中“But what if Shakespeare had written abut handshaking hundreds f years earlier?(但是,如果莎士比亚早在几百年前就写过握手呢?)”可知,第一段和第二段中通过莎士比亚对于握手这个习俗早已存在,其存在根源消失在历史的长河中,但是通过莎士比亚笔下可以说明握手是这个习俗是非常古老的,在其存在的几百年前,就已经记录过。故选B。
    13.推理判断题。根据第二段中“Histrians wh have studied ancient etiquette (礼仪) bks nte that the mdem handshake did nt appear until the middle f the 19th century, when it was cnsidered a slightly inapprpriate gesture that culd nly be used between friends.(研究古代礼仪书籍的历史学家指出,现代握手直到19世纪中叶才出现,当时它被认为是一种稍微不合适的手势,只能在朋友之间使用。)”可知,对于握手这个习俗直到19世纪中叶才出现,当时它被认为是一种稍微不合适的手势,只能在朋友之间使用。同时根据第四段中“The early handshakes mentined abve were part f making deals r peace(上面提到的早期握手是达成协议或和平的一部分)”以及“Shakespeare was similarly referencing settlement f a cnflict.(莎士比亚也同样提到了冲突的解决。)”可知,握手曾经只在朋友之间使用,并且用来达成协议。故选C。
    14.词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“A Cultural Histry f Gesture(手势的文化史)”以及“Mre than in any ther field, that f the study f gesture is ne in which the histrian has t make the mst f nly a few clues(在手势研究领域,历史学家只需要充分利用少数线索,这一点在其他任何领域都不常见)”可知,荷兰社会学家赫尔曼·卢登堡所撰写的著作即《手势的文化史》中的一个章节指出在手势研究领域,历史学家只需要充分利用少数线索,这一点在其他任何领域都不常见的事实。故划线词表示荷兰社会学家赫尔曼·卢登堡所撰写文章的精选的文学段落,其与B为同义词。故选B。
    15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Arund the same time, thse wh valued equality als made use f handshaking. Then, as the Cntinent’s hierarchy was weakened, handshaking became a cmmn practice amng peple f the same rank, as it is tday.(大约在同一时期,那些重视平等的人也会使用握手。然后,随着欧洲大陆的等级制度被削弱,握手成为同一等级的人之间的一种普遍做法,就像今天一样。)”可知,大多数欧洲人更喜欢握手,因为等级的影响越来越弱。故选D。

    4.句意猜测题。根据第二段“Watching yur kids learn new skills is extrardinarily rewarding, but I’ve experienced mre persnal grwth than I have at any ther pint in my life.”(看着你的孩子学习新技能是非常值得的,但我经历的个人成长比我生命中其他任何时候都要多。)以及划线句前“Last year, after a winter f practicing skiing n the green tracks fr beginners each week, Alicia was french-frying her way dwn blues and even attempted her first black. That mnth als witnessed me visiting the muntain mre times than in the 15 years cmbined ”(去年,艾丽西亚在为初学者准备的绿色雪道上练习了一个冬天的滑雪之后,她在蓝色中级雪道一路摸索,甚至尝试了她的第一个黑色钻石雪道。那个月我去山上的次数比过去15年的总和还多)可知,孩子在探索的同时,我也在探索。所以划线句的意思是他将和女儿一起探索更多。故选C。
    5.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I start taking pian lessns at 41 years ld with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then imprve, she’ll understand that things dn’t cme easy, even fr grwn-ups. ”(我从41岁开始上钢琴课,心想如果她看到我在练习和进步的过程中苦苦挣扎,她就会明白事情来之不易,即使对成年人来说也是如此。)可知,父亲开始学弹钢琴为了给女儿树立一个好榜样。故选B。

She’s pinting at a bright-red cap cvered with white dts.

I have a firm “tell them the truth and be as precise as pssible” philsphy and explain what the app says, and that I dn’t think ur Thursday adventures are ready t get quite that adventurus yet.”(“我们可以吃这个吗,爸爸?”我四岁的女儿艾丽西娅(Alicia)问道。我们正在进行周四的一次冒险,在附近的树林里寻找可食用的蘑菇。她指着一顶布满白点的鲜红色帽子。我拿出手边的蘑菇识别软件,上面显示,如果准备得当,毒蝇伞虽然可以食用,但也是一种已知的致幻剂。我有一个坚定的“告诉他们真相,并尽可能精确”的理念,并解释了应用程序的内容,我认为我们的周四冒险还没有准备好进行那样的冒险。)可知,作者在女儿问他一种毒蝇伞蘑菇是否可食用,作者查找识别软件,并认为不能尝试食用这种蘑菇,说明作者是一个谨慎的人。最后一段“I start taking pian lessns at 41 years ld with the idea that if she sees me struggling as I practice and then imprve, she’ll understand that things dn’t cme easy, even fr grwn-ups. ”(我从41岁开始上钢琴课,心想如果她看到我在练习和进步的过程中苦苦挣扎,她就会明白事情来之不易,即使对成年人来说也是如此。)可知,父亲开始学弹钢琴为了给女儿树立一个好榜样,说明他是一个鼓舞人心的人。故选B。
    7.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“ I knw there’s ging t be a time when I’ll end up n the sideline cheering her n as she finds her wn passins. I’m kay with this, and I’m hping that by then she’ll carry the jy f practice and knwledge thrugh life.”(我知道总有一天我会在场边为她加油,因为她找到了自己的激情所在。我对此没有意见,我希望到那时她会把实践和知识的乐趣贯穿一生。)可知,本文通过作者女儿不断的尝试各种技能的同时,父亲也做出了表率,希望女儿能够明白事情来之不易,即使对成年人来说也是如此。父亲希望技能可以给孩子带来乐趣。所以“技能带来的快感”符合最佳标题,故选A。
    In recent years, China has witnessed the grwth f luxury (奢侈品) brands. In this market, Chinese cnsumers are nw the largest spenders. It’s clear that a new generatin f yung, materialistic peple is increasingly relying n luxury brands t imprve its self-image.
    I am a fashinist t, at least in spirit—I lve t lk at clthes and shes. But I dn’t understand why peple spend lts f mney n designer labels.
    When a yung wman buys a handbag that csts tw mnths f her salary, that’s a scary thing.
    What’s interesting is that scientists have fund that having luxury things desn’t lead t happiness.
    Study after study has shwn that althugh we want material things, when we get them we dn’t suddenly becme “happy” peple. In fact, a series f studies by Leaf Van Bven at the University f Clrad, US, has shwn that individuals wh spend mney n travel and similar experiences get mre pleasure than thse wh invest it in material things. That’s because experiences are mre easily cmbined with a persn’s identity. If I travel t Yunnan, that adventure affects hw I think in the future. My memries becme a part f me.
    Mrever, as Van Bven has bserved, yung peple wh pursue happiness thrugh “things” are liked less by their peers. Peple prefer thse wh pursue happiness thrugh experiences.
    It’s natural t want t express yurself thrugh yur appearance. S my advice is: create a lk that isn’t tied t a designer label. Cnvey yur wn message. Take sme lessns frm the late Apple c-funder Steve Jbs. He was always in Levis jeans and a black turtleneck. Mark Zuckerberg, funder f Facebk, rutinely appears in hdies and sneakers. These peple, successful peple, have style. Yu dn’t have t break the bank t send a message abut wh yu are.
    Take a trip. G ut int the wrld. Then cme back and cnfidently create yur wn signature lk.
    8.What can we infer frm the first three paragraphs?
    A.The authr enjys buying luxury brands herself.
    B.The authr agrees t spend mney n material things.
    C.The authr is critical f yuths tying their lks t designer labels.
    D.The authr finds it natural fr fashinists t fllw fashin trends.
    9.Leaf Van Bven’s studies shwed that ________.
    A.traveling changes a persn’s identity greatly
    B.peple dislike thse wh lve luxuries
    C.experiences can bring peple mre happiness than luxuries
    D.luxuries have a negative effect n peple’s happiness
    10.What is the authr’s advice n expressing neself?
    A.Be selective abut designer labels.
    B.Create yur wn persnal unique style.
    C.Chse styles that are simple and cmfrtable.
    D.Try styles like Mark Zuckerberg’s.
    11.The main purpse f the article is t ______.
    A.persuade readers t invest in experiences instead f luxuries
    B.prve hw luxury leads t an unpleasant life
    C.tell hw t express yurself thrugh appearances
    D.reprt n a series f studies abut luxuries and happiness
    【答案】8.C 9.C 10.B 11.A
    【解析】这是一篇议论文,文章主要介绍了青年人越来越依赖奢侈品来提升个人形象。这是很可怕的事情。我们应该出去旅行,去世界各地看一看,多体验多经历,自信来自于眼界。
    8.推理判断题。根据前三段的内容,以及When a yung wman buys a handbag that csts tw mnths f her salary, that’s a scary thing.可知,青年人越来越依赖奢侈品来提升个人形象。这是很可怕的事情,说明作者在批评这些年轻人,故选C。
    9.细节理解题。根据第五段中In fact, a series f studies by Leaf Van Bven at the University f Clrad, US, has shwn that individuals wh spend mney n travel and similar experiences get mre pleasure than thse wh invest it in material things.可知,Leaf Van Bven研究表明旅行和类似经历比奢侈品更能给人带来更多快乐。故选C。
    10.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中It’s natural t want t express yurself thrugh yur appearance. S my advice is: create a lk that isn’t tied t a designer label. These peple, successful peple, have style.可知,作者建议我们创造独特唯一的风格。故选B。
    11.主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段中In fact, a series f studies by Leaf Van Bven at the University f Clrad, US, has shwn that individuals wh spend mney n travel and similar experiences get mre pleasure than thse wh invest it in material things可知,作者的写作目的是通过Leaf Van Bven研究劝告公众不要依赖奢侈品而要通过经历来提升个人形象。故选A。
    【点睛】4. 解题剖析:此题属于推理判断题中的(1)根据不同文体,推断目的意图。不同的文章可能有不同的写作目的, 通常作者的写作目的有以下三种:1) t entertain readers(娱乐读者,让人发笑),常见于故事类的文章。2) t persuade readers(说服读者接受某种观点)常见于广告类的文章。3) t infrm readers(告知读者某些信息)多见于科普类﹑新闻报道类﹑文化类或社会类的文章。高考阅读试题设计到各类文章,而以议论文为主,文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场;阅读理解中也有说明文、描述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性,所以作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出,而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性,所以,阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。
    答案需要从文章Leaf Van Bven研究劝告公众不要依赖奢侈品而要通过经历来提升个人形象。进行推断。
    答案定位:根据文章Leaf Van Bven研究结果可知,文章劝告公众不要依赖奢侈品而要通过经历来提升个人形象。
    推理关系:题干The main purpse f the article is t.☞文章内容has shwn that individuals wh spend mney n travel and similar experiences get mre pleasure than thse wh invest it in material things
    答案:spend mney n travel and similar experiences get mre pleasure than thse wh invest it in material things.☞A选项persuade readers t invest in experiences instead f luxuries
    Last year, 138,000 San Francisc residents used Airbnb, a ppular app designed t cnnect hme renters and travelers. It’s a striking number fr a city with a ppulatin f abut 850,000, and it was enugh fr Airbnb t win a majr victry in lcal electins, as San Francisc vters struck dwn a debatable rule that wuld have placed time restrictins and ther regulatins n shrt-term rental services.
    The cmpany fiercely ppsed the measure, Prpsitin F, with a nearly $10 millin advertising campaign. It als cntacted its San Franciscan users with messages urging them t vte against Prpsitin F.
    Mst peple think f Airbnb as a kind f cuch-surfing app. The service wrks fr ne-night stays n rad trips and lnger stays in cities, and it ften has mre cmpetitive pricing than htels. It’s a textbk example f the “sharing ecnmy”, but nt everyne is a fan.
    The app has had unintended cnsequences in San Francisc. As the San Francisc Chrnicle reprted last year, a significant amunt f renting n Airbnb is nt in line with the cmpany’s image: middle-class families putting up a spare rm t help make ends meet. Sme users have taken advantage f the service, using it t turn their multiple prperties int vacatin rentals r even full-time rentals. Backers f Prpsitin F argued that this trend takes spaces ff the cnventinal, better-regulated husing market and cntributes t rising csts.
    “The fact is, widespread abuse f shrt-term rentals is taking much needed husing ff the market and harming ur neighbrhds,” said ShareBetter SF, a grup that supprted Prpsitin F. Htel unins have prtested the cmpany’s practices in San Francisc and ther cities, saying that it creates an illegal htel system.
    San Francisc is in the middle f a lng-term, deeply rted husing crisis that has seen the cst f living explde. Actually, explde is a generus term. The average mnthly rent fr an apartment is arund $4, 000. Lcated n a narrw utcrpping f land verlking the bay, San Francisc simply desn’t have enugh space t accmmdate the massive inflw f yung, high-salaried tech emplyees flcking t Silicn Valley.
    As the Ls Angeles Times reprted, sme San Francisc residents supprted the measure simply because it seemed like a way t check a big crpratin. Oppnents f Prpsitin F cuntered that the husing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule wuld have discuraged a ppular service while ding little t slve the city’s existing prblems.
    12.The intentin f Prpsitin F is t ________.
    A.place time limits in lcal electin.B.set limits n shrt-term rental.
    C.strike dwn a cntrversial rule.D.urge users t vte against Airbnb.
    13.What is the negative cnsequence f Airbnb n San Francisc?
    A.It shrinks the living space f middle-class families.
    B.Users are taken advantage f by the service financially.
    C.It makes the huse market mre cmpetitive.
    D.It indirectly leads t high huse rental price.
    14.The husing crisis in San Francisc results frm ________.
    A.explsin f the living cstB.its gegraphic characteristics
    C.genersity f lcal enterprisesD.inflw f migrant ppulatin
    15.The authr’s attitude tward Prpsitin F is ________.
    A.bjectiveB.supprtive
    C.negativeD.indifferent
    【答案】12.B 13.D 14.D 15.A
    【解析】这是一篇议论文。旧金山提出了一项F提案限制房子短期租赁,这使得短期租赁软件Airbnb的很多用户反应激烈。文章介绍了Airbnb软件的影响和F提案支持者和反对者的看法。
    12.细节理解题。根据第一段中“…as San Francisc vters struck dwn a debatable rule that wuld have placed time restrictins and ther regulatins n shrt-term rental services. (……因为旧金山选民推翻了一项有争议的规定,该规定将对短期租赁服务设置时间限制和其他规定。)”可知,F提案的目的是限制短期租赁。故选B项。
    13.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Backers f Prpsitin F argued that this trend takes spaces ff the cnventinal, better-regulated husing market and cntributes t rising csts. (F提案的支持者认为,这种趋势使传统的、监管更好的住房市场失去了空间,并导致成本上升。)”可知,Airbnb对旧金山的负面影响是它间接导致了房屋租金高。故选D项。
    14.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Lcated n a narrw utcrpping f land verlking the bay, San Francisc simply desn’t have enugh space t accmmdate the massive inflw f yung, high-salaried tech emplyees flcking t Silicn Valley. (旧金山坐落在一块可以俯瞰海湾的狭长裸露土地上,没有足够的空间容纳大量涌入硅谷的年轻高薪技术员工。)”可知,旧金山的住房危机是流动人口流入造成的。故选D项。
    15.推理判断题。根据第二段中“The cmpany fiercely ppsed the measure, Prpsitin F, with a nearly $10 millin advertising campaign. (该公司用近1000万美元的广告活动强烈反对F提案。)”和最后一段中“Oppnents f Prpsitin F cuntered that the husing crisis runs much deeper, and that passing the rule wuld have discuraged a ppular service while ding little t slve the city’s existing prblems. (反对F提案的人反驳说,住房危机要严重得多,通过这项规定只会阻碍一项受欢迎的服务,而对解决城市现有的问题几乎没有帮助。)” 可知,作者呈现了F提案反对者的观点;第四段中“Backers f Prpsitin F argued that this trend takes spaces ff the cnventinal, better-regulated husing market and cntributes t rising csts. (F提案的支持者认为,这种趋势使传统的、监管更好的住房市场失去了空间,并导致成本上升。)”可知,作者呈现了F提案支持者的观点,因此在本文中,作者呈现了F提案反对者和支持者的相关观点,但是作者自己没有明确表示自己的立场,因此作者对F提案的态度是客观的。故选A项。

    Gladys West, the mathematician, was brn in 1930 in Virginia and had t help harvest crps n her family’s farm. The hard wrk started befre daybreak and lasted well int the blistering heat f the afternn. T get ut f there, she was ging t get an educatin.
    Her parents tried t save sme mney t send her t cllege, but unexpected bills kept hitting the fund. Then a teacher annunced that the state was ging t give a cllege schlarship t the tw tp students frm her year. Finally, West gt the schlarship, allwing her t attend Virginia State Cllege, a histrically black university.
    West decided t majr in mathematics because it was a well-respected subject. It was largely studied by men, but she didn’t take much ntice f them as she knew deep in her heart that nthing was getting in her way. After graduating, she became a teacher. A few years later, she returned t the university and earned a master’s degree in mathematics. Then she was ffered a jb at a naval base in Dahlgren, Virginia. This made her nly the secnd black wman t be hired t wrk as a prgrammer at the base.
    Despite her intellectual abilities and career success, West felt she was inferir. It was this feeling, deeply rted and felt, by many African Americans that drve her t wrk as hard as she culd. West determined t cmmit herself t her wrk, hping that by ding it t the best f her ability, she culd get recgnitin fr her wrk.
    West did just that. In 1979, she became prject manager fr the Seasat prject, the first satellite that culd mnitr the ceans. She prgrammed an IBM 7030 Stretch cmputer, prviding faster calculatins fr an accurate Earthmdel. This detailed mathematical mdel f the shape f the Earth was a building blck fr what wuld becme the GPS rbit. In 1998, aged 68, she intended t fcus n her PhD after retirement. She eventually finished her graduatin thesis and gained her PhD in public administratin and plicy affairs in 2000 at the age f 70.
    4.What helps Gladys West t g t the university?

    B.Her parents’ paying fr the expenses.
    C.Her family backgrund.
    D.The schlarship frm the gvernment.

    B.Men dminated maths field in West’s days.

    Artificial intelligence (AI ) has been increasingly gd at fling peple. A series f phts shwing frmer US president Dnald Trump being aggressively arrested by plice have caught peple’s attentin. They were fake but very cnvincing.
    Created by the AI prgram Midjurney, the phts were highly realistic, frm the characters’ mvements t the surrundings. Hwever, many details can give away the fact that they are made by AI. The Washingtn Pst’s technlgy writer Shira Ovide shared her tips. The main idea is t spt the prblems anything that wuld lk strange in a pht.
    AI sftware has a histry f generating human hands incrrectly. It smetimes can create hands with mre than five fingers. This is because AI isn’t sure what a “hand” exactly is, accrding t Ppular Science. The data AI uses t learn ften shw hands and fingers in varius gestures, which can be very cnfusing fr AI.
    AI-generated images als usually cntain details that are against reality. T spt this, fcus n items like accessries. Fr example, peple in an image may be missing earrings r ne part f their sunglasses. If there’s text in an image, such as a newspaper r pster, it’s usually garbled (篡改), even thugh the text may lk realistic frm a distance.
    Anther thing AI is terrible at handling is the backgrund. If there’s a crwd in the image, peple’s faces in the backgrund are usually blurry - r they dn’t have faces at all!
    The develpment f AI-generated art als raises alarm bells abut hw these fake images culd be used t spread misinfrmatin. “I think misinfrmatin is ging t hit an all-time high,” Jamie Chen, a digital culture and AI expert in the US, tld New Yrk Pst. Generating an AI artwrk is t “create reality”, Chen argued, adding that, being able t tell whether the wrk is real r nt requires high media literacy(素养) skills. “The wrld may nt be ready fr hw realistic the images have becme,” Shane Kittelsn, a US researcher, tld The Washingtn Pst.
    8.Why are Dnald Trump’s phts mentined in the first paragraph?

    The success f many Nrth American crps partly depends n grund beetles, small insects that eat pests and weed seeds that culd therwise damage crps. But a new study by researchers in the US and Canada suggests nt all f the nearly 2,000 species f grund beetles fund in Nrth America will survive climate change. Sme culd decline. And that culd have a far-reaching impact n agriculture, frestry, and cnservatin.
    By analyzing data n 136 different grund beetle species acrss cntinental Nrth America, Puert Ric and Hawaii, the researchers fund that a species’ chance f success in a changing climate depends n several imprtant factrs, such as its habitat preference, bdy size, and whether it flies, climbs r runs.
    “We fund that less mbile, nnflying grund beetles, which are critical pest cntrl agents, are mre likely t decline ver time in a warmer, dryer climate,” said Tng Qiu, wh led the study. “That means yu’re ging t have mre pests that can impact agricultural and frest ecsystems.” But there is reasn fr hpe, Qiu added, because the analysis als shwed that habitat cnservatin can lessen these effects and reverse the trends in sme areas.
    “We hpe cnservatin bilgists will use this infrmatin and the nline map that we created t better manage habitats fr insects in general. Grund beetles are very beneficial t ecsystems, but they’re largely invisible t the average persn. In this paper we’re shwing the brad impacts they have n whle cmmunities in frested and agricultural ecsystems,” said Qiu.
    The researchers used grund beetle cunt data frm the Natinal Science Fundatin’s Natinal Eclgical Observatry Netwrk ( NEON ) and frm 11 previusly published studies t measure and map the beetles’ distributin acrss Nrth America. Habitat infrmatin, such as the lcatin f gaps in frest canpies and the density f plants n a frest flr, was btained by using NEON’s imaging instruments t create detailed three-dimensinal images f landscapes. They then entered the data cllected int a cmputer mdel t simulate (模拟) climate changes t study hw the insects wuld respnd.

    A.Pests culd destry crps.
    B.Sme grund beetles will nt survive a climate change.
    C.The survival f grund beetles nly depends n its habitat.
    D.Sme grund beetles will destry crps in a warmer climate.
    13.What des Tng Qiu intend t cnvey in paragraphs 3 and 4?
    A.There is n way t stp the decline f grund beetles.
    B.Critical pests are mre adaptable in a warmer, drier climate.
    C.Grund beetles will becme less mbile in a warmer climate.
    D.The imprtance f grund beetles shuld be widely recgnized.

    Cnsider the pssibility that all human technlgy started with a mistake — r at least a lack f hand-eye crdinatin. In a new study published n Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tms Prffitt, bth at the Max Planck Institute fr Evlutinary Anthrplgy in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been ur ancient ancestrs’ r ther nw-extinct early human relatives “first step tward creating the sharp-edged tls that they used t butcher animals and cut edible plants.
    T d their research, Luncz and Prffitt traveled t an abandned il palm plantatin near Thailand’s Phang Nga Bay and cllected mre than 1, 100 pieces f nut-cracking stnes used by a trp f lng-tailed macaques (猕猴). Macaques crack pen il palm nuts by placing them n a flat stne and striking their shell with anther stne. These mnkeys ften miss the nut and accidentally break the stnes, prducing sharp flakes. Luncz and Prffitt analyzed these stnes, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentinally prduced lked a lt like the ldest stne tls that were intentinally made by hminins (古人类).
    Macaques dn’t use the sharp flakes they create fr anything, Luncz adds, nting that the mnkeys have sharp teeth and dn’t need cutting tls. The similar ancient stne tls cllected frm sme f the earliest knwn sites, hwever, shw evidence f being used fr cutting tasks. Fr example, in Oldwan, a site dating between 3.3 millin and 1.5 millin years ag, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns n the tls and fund that sme f the flakes shwed damage alng their edges, indicating that they had been used fr cutting. Cut marks n sme fssils revealed that hminins had used stne tls fr butchering the animals, making it clear that the sharp stne tls were anything but unintentinal by-prducts f ther punding activities.
    Despite the findings, t reveal the mechanism fr the emergence f flake technlgy, researchers still need t learn hw hminins made the leap frm accidentally prducing sharp flakes t picking them up and using them. Luncz and Prffitt hpe t find the missing link in further studies.
    28.What can we learn frm paragraph 2?
    A.The tw researchers went t Thailand and cllected 1, 100 flakes.
    B.Lng-tailed macaques used the flakes t crack pen il palm nuts.
    C.Macaques deliberately prduced flakes fr cutting by breaking stnes.
    D.The flakes prduced by macaques were similar t hminins’ stne tls.

    A.Why macaques create flakes.B.Why hminins used stne tls.
    C.Hw macaques cut fd with flakes.D.Hw hminins began using flakes.
    31.What is the best title f the passage?
    A.A mistake: the rigin f human technlgy.
    B.Flake technlgy: frm macaques t hminins.
    C.Punding activities: n human evlutinary curse.
    D.A missing link: lng-tailed macaques create flakes.
    【答案】28.D 29.A 30.D 31.B
    【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过一项动物研究,介绍了我们早期人类因为意外情况使用工具的情况。
    28.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Luncz and Prffitt analyzed these stnes, which revealed a surprising fact: The flakes that the macaques unintentinally prduced lked a lt like the ldest stne tls that were intentinally made by hminins (古人类).(Luncz和Prffitt分析了这些石头,发现了一个令人惊讶的事实:猕猴无意中产生的薄片看起来很像人类故意制造的最古老的石器。)”可知,猕猴制作的薄片与人类的石器相似。故选D。
    29.推理判断题。根据第三段的“The similar ancient stne tls cllected frm sme f the earliest knwn sites, hwever, shw evidence f being used fr cutting tasks. Fr example, in Oldwan, a site dating between 3. 3 millin and 1. 5 millin years ag, researchers analyzed use-wear patterns n the tls and fund that sme f the flakes shwed damage alng their edges, indicating that they had been used fr cutting.(然而,从一些已知最早的遗址中收集到的类似的古代石器显示出用于切割任务的证据。例如,在奥尔德万,一个可以追溯到大约330万到150万年前的遗址。研究人员分析了这些工具的使用磨损模式,发现一些薄片的边缘有损伤,表明它们曾被用来切割。)”可推断,作者提到奥尔德万遗址是为了提供具体的证据来说明古代石器用于切割任务。故选A。
    30.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Despite the findings, t reveal the mechanism fr the emergence f flake technlgy, researchers still need t learn hw hminins made the leap frm accidentally prducing sharp flakes t picking them up and using them. Luncz and Prffitt hpe t find the missing link in further studies. (尽管有了这些发现,为了揭示薄片技术出现的机制,研究人员仍然需要了解人类是如何从偶然产生尖锐的薄片到捡起并使用它们的。Luncz和Prffitt希望在进一步的研究中找到缺失的环节。)”可知,为了揭示薄片技术背后的机制,研究者们仍然需要了解古人类是如何从意外产生锋利的薄片,到捡起并使用它们的。伦茨和普罗菲特希望在接下来的研究中可以找到缺失的这一环(即原始人是如何开始使用薄片的),故选D。
    31.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本篇是一篇科研报告类文章,第一段的“In a new study published n Friday in Science Advances, Lydia Luncz and Tms Prffitt, bth at the Max Planck Institute fr Evlutinary Anthrplgy in Leipzig, Germany, argue that mistakenly created flakes (薄片) may have been ur ancient ancestrs’ r ther nw-extinct early human relatives“ first step tward creating the sharp-edged tls that they used t butcher animals and cut edible plants.( 在周五发表在《科学进展》上的一项新研究中,德国莱比锡马克斯普朗克进化人类学研究所的Lydia Luncz和Tms Prffitt认为,错误地制造出的薄片可能是我们的古代祖先或其他现已灭绝的早期人类亲戚制造出锋利的工具的第一步,他们用来屠宰动物和切割可食用的植物。)”点明了新研究的结果,后文详细描述了研究过程和局限性及等未来研究前景,因此推断B项“薄片技术:从猕猴到人类。”为最佳标题。故选B项。
    MICROSOFT says it has used the natural language AI ChatGPT, created by the cmpany OpenAI, t cntrl a range f rbts with simple text cmmands.
    The chatbt was trained n a vast amunt f data, including surce cde. It has previusly demnstrated the ability t write sftware based n text and even t fix errrs in existing cde. Micrsft has nw used the AI t take text cmmands frm humans and interpret them int cde that can cntrl rbts directly. In ne test, ChatGPT wrte cde t instruct a rbtic arm t create a Micrsft lg frm wden blcks. In anther, it steered a drne t reach a pint while aviding bstacles. The research was intended ”t see if ChatGPT can think beynd text, and reasn abut the physical wrld t help with rbtics tasks“.
    ChatGPT isn’t in direct, real-time cntrl f the rbt, but simply creates the cde that cntrls it. Micrsft said in its blg pst that ChatGPT utput shuldn’t be applied directly t a rbt withut ”careful analysis“, but experts warn that it is risky t even begin thinking abut placing AI in cntrl f physical machines.
    Mark Ceckelbergh at the University f Vienna, Austria, says that regulatins may be needed in rder t set ut where AI can be used and wh is respnsible shuld things g wrng. ”It’s a very dangerus thing t just say “let’s give cntrl f these cmputers t AI’, ” says Ceckelbergh. “The prblem with cntemprary artificial intelligence is that it’s nt transparent t the user. That’s a huge prblem. ”
    Others were sceptical abut the ability f language mdels t prgram rbts fr cmplex tasks. Kathleen Richardsn at De Mntfrt University Leicester, UK, says that AI language mdels are cnvincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability-including their adaptability t cntrl rbts-is ften exaggerated. “I think Micrsft, and mst peple wh design rbts, have t much cnfidence in what they can d, ” she says.
    32.Which functin desn’t belng t ChatGPT accrding t MICROSOFT?
    A.Create cde.B.Crrect cde errrs.
    C.Write sftware.D.Cntrl rbts directly.
    33.What can we infer frm paragraph 3?
    A.Experts agree that we can apply AI t cde analysis.
    B.Experts warn against the idea f using AI t cntrl rbts.
    C.Micrsft believes ChatGPT utput shuld be used indirectly.
    D.ChatGPT utput has been widely applied after careful analysis.
    34.What des the underlined wrd “exaggerated” in the last paragraph mean?
    A.Neglected.B.Simplified.C.Overestimated.D.Praised.
    35.What is the authr’s attitude twards the ability f ChatGPT t cntrl rbts?
    A.Objective.B.Favrable.C.Critical.D.Indifferent.
    【答案】32.D 33.B 34.C 35.A
    【导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了不同群体对于ChatGPT应用的不同态度及观点。
    32.细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“It has previusly demnstrated the ability t write sftware based n text and even t fix errrs in existing cde. Micrsft has nw used the AI t take text cmmands frm humans and interpret them int cde that can cntrl rbts directly(它之前已经展示了基于文本编写软件的能力,甚至可以修复现有代码中的错误。微软现在已经使用人工智能从人类那里获取文本命令,并将其翻译成可以直接控制机器人的代码)”可知,ChatGPT展示了基于文本提示编写软件的能力,可以修复现有代码中的错误,微软现在已经使用人工智能从人类那里获取文本命令,并将其翻译成可以直接控制机器人的代码,说明ChatGPT可以编写代码;也说明ChatGPT是通过代码间接控制机器人,而不是直接控制机器人,故选D项。
    33.推理判断题。根据文章第三段的“Micrsft said in its blg pst that ChatGPT utput shuldn’t be applied directly t a rbt withut “careful analysis”, but experts warn that it is risky t even begin thinking abut placing AI in cntrl f physical machines.(微软在其博客文章中表示,在没有“仔细分析”的情况下,ChatGPT的输出不应该直接应用于机器人,但专家警告说,甚至开始考虑将人工智能应用于物理机器的控制都是有风险的)”可知,专家反对使用人工智能来控制机器人的想法,故选B项。
    34.词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段的“AI language mdels are cnvincing mimics(人工智能语言模型是令人信服的模仿者)”及but可知,划线词与前面cnvincing相反意思,再根据划线词后面I think Micrsft, and mst peple wh design rbts, have t much cnfidence in what they can d(我认为微软和大多数设计机器人的人,都过于相信这些机器人能做的事情)可推断,划线句句意是:它们的真正能力——包括控制机器人的适应性——经常被夸大。故选C项。
    35.推理判断题。根据第三段的“Micrsft said in its blg pst that ChatGPT utput shuldn’t be applied directly t a rbt withut ”careful analysis“, but experts warn that it is risky t even begin thinking abut placing AI in cntrl f physical machines. (微软在其博客文章中表示,在没有“仔细分析”的情况下,ChatGPT的输出不应该直接应用于机器人,但专家警告说,甚至开始考虑将人工智能应用于物理机器的控制都是有风险的)”,第四段的“Mark Ceckelbergh at the University f Vienna, Austria, says that regulatins may be needed in rder t set ut where AI can be used and wh is respnsible shuld things g wrng.(奥地利维也纳大学的Mark Ceckelbergh表示,可能需要制定法规,以便确定人工智能可以在哪里使用,以及如果出现问题谁应该负责)”,最后一段的“Kathleen Richardsn at De Mntfrt University Leicester, UK, says that AI language mdels are cnvincing mimics (模仿者), but that their real ability-including their adaptability t cntrl rbts-is ften exaggerated.(英国莱斯特德蒙福特大学的凯瑟琳·理查森说,人工智能语言模型是令人信服的模仿者,但它们的真正能力——包括控制机器人的适应性——往往被夸大了)”可推断作者介绍了微软官方对于ChatGPT操控机器人的言论,客观引用了各界观点,并未发表个人想法,故选A项。

Dump ut the ld vinegar, and add a cup f fresh vinegar. Return the egg t the bwl, and wait anther 24 hurs. When yu remve the egg this time, the shell shuld be cmpletely disslved. What remains will be the cntents f the egg. (在碗中加入一杯醋。将鸡蛋加入碗中,等待至少24小时。当你一天后检查它时,你会注意到鸡蛋上有一些气泡和水中的残留物。用勺子轻轻地把鸡蛋从碗里舀出来。倒出旧醋,加入一杯新醋。将鸡蛋放回碗中,再等24小时。当你这次取出鸡蛋时,蛋壳应该完全溶解了。剩下的将是蛋的成分(蛋黄和蛋清)。)” 可知在第一个实验中,是醋导致蛋壳溶解,故选A。
    2.细节理解题。根据Walking n Eggshells下的“Eggs are actually incredibly strng. The arch shape at the tp and the bttm f the egg allws pressure t be distributed evenly ver the egg. If yu were t place the eggs n their sides instead, yu’d be likely t wind up with a gey (胶粘的) mess.(鸡蛋实际上非常结实。鸡蛋顶部和底部的拱形形状可以使压力均匀地分布在鸡蛋上。如果你把鸡蛋放在它们的侧面,你可能会得到一团黏糊糊的东西。)” 可知是鸡蛋的分布让这些蛋足够结实,可以走过去,故选D。
    3.推理判断题。通读全文,可知文章主要讲述两个用鸡蛋做实验的方法,所以目的就是告诉我们鸡蛋除了吃,还可以用来做实验以及具体的实验方法,故选C。
    Nick Verel, a 53-year-ld kidney transplant (肾脏移植) recipient in Ohi, shuld have been near the tp f the list t receive a COVID-19 vaccine (疫苗). Yet like millins f thers, he wasn’t having any luck scheduling an appintment. Nick wuld sit with cmputers n his lap trying fr hurs t bk an appintment n different sites, which ended up in vain n matter hw cncentrated he was. “I felt hpeless,” Nick says.
    Then he heard abut Zwinggi, a 40-year-ld mther f three wh was helping t secure appintments fr vulnerable individuals like Nick. S he messaged Zwinggi n Facebk: Can yu help? Thirty-five minutes later, Zwinggi reprted back—Nick successfully had an appintment t get the vaccine.
    Zwinggi’s vaccine hunting started n February 1, when she learned that her parents—her father has diabetes and her mther is a breast cancer survivr with a heart cnditin—were unable t get appintments themselves. She hated that they had t wait. Clicking arund n vaccine registratin sites, Zwinggi, wh has helped her husband develp websites, says “It was like trying t get a ticket t the Baseball Wrld Series final”.
    She applied strategies that web insiders are familiar with (keeping multiple brwsers pen, refreshing sites every 20 secnds, erasing ckies) and added a few f her special skills. “I drink a lt f cffee, and I’m a fast typer,” she says. Sn enugh, Zwinggi had secured appintments fr bth f her parents. “I felt like a rck star,” she says.
    Zwinggi decided that helping thers wuld be her way f giving back. “I feel like I need t will us ut f this pandemic,” she says. On February 10, she lgged n t Facebk t let peple knw that she was assisting with bkings. By March 2, she’d secured appintments fr 400 peple, a feat (壮举) that made Nick cnclude, “Marla is an angel.”
    4.The underlined wrds “vulnerable individuals” in paragraph 2 refer t thse ______.
    A.wh are t ld t bk an appintment.B.wh need vaccine badly with serius disease.
    C.wh have little experience with cmputers.D.wh have little spare time with many kids.
    5.Why did Zwinggi start t search fr vaccines nline?
    A.Because she has helped her husband develp websites.
    B.Because Nick made cntact with her n Facebk fr help.
    C.Because her parents failed t secure appintments themselves.
    D.Because she was familiar with the vaccine registratin sites.
    6.Which f the fllwing best describes Zwinggi?
    A.Caring and cnfidentB.Passinate and persevering
    C.Thughtful and talentedD.Supprtive and skillful
    7.Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
    A.A Tugh Battle Against COVID- 19B.The Vaccine Hunter
    C.A Great Way t Get the VaccineD.The Vaccine Chas

Yet like millins f thers, he wasn’t having any luck scheduling an appintment.(俄亥俄州53岁的肾移植受者Nick Verel本应排在接种COVID-19疫苗的前列。然而,和其他数百万人一样,他也没能安排好预约)”以及划线词后文“like Nick”可知,Nick需要肾移植但是预约不上疫苗,故划线词意思是“患有严重疾病急需疫苗的人”。故选B。
    5.细节理解题。根据第三段“Zwinggi’s vaccine hunting started n February 1, when she learned that her parents—her father has diabetes and her mther is a breast cancer survivr with a heart cnditin—were unable t get appintments themselves. She hated that they had t wait. Clicking arund n vaccine registratin sites, Zwinggi, wh has helped her husband develp websites, says “It was like trying t get a ticket t the Baseball Wrld Series final”.(Zwinggi寻找疫苗的工作始于2月1日,当时她得知她的父母——她的父亲患有糖尿病,她的母亲是患有心脏病的乳腺癌幸存者——无法自己预约疫苗。她讨厌他们不得不等待。Zwinggi帮助她的丈夫开发了一些网站,她点击了一些疫苗注册网站,她说:“这就像试图买一张棒球世界系列赛决赛的门票。”)”可知,Zwinggi开始在网上搜索疫苗是因为她的父母自己没能预约到。故选C。
    6.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She applied strategies that web insiders are familiar with (keeping multiple brwsers pen, refreshing sites every 20 secnds, erasing ckies) and added a few f her special skills. “I drink a lt f cffee, and I’m a fast typer,” she says.(她采用了网络内部人士熟悉的策略(保持多个浏览器打开,每20秒刷新一次网站,删除ckie),并添加了一些她的特殊技能。“我喝很多咖啡,而且打字很快,”她说)”以及最后一段“Zwinggi decided that helping thers wuld be her way f giving back.( Zwinggi认为帮助他人是她回馈社会的方式)”可推知,Zwinggi乐于助人且对预约疫苗很熟练。故选D。
    7.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“By March 2, she’d secured appintments fr 400 peple, a feat (壮举) that made Nick cnclude, “Marla is an angel.”(到3月2日,她已经为400人安排了预约,这一壮举让尼克得出结论:“玛拉是一位天使。”)”结合文章主要说明了Zwinggi帮助他人预约疫苗的事迹。可知,B选项“疫苗搜寻者”最符合文章标题。故选B。

    New research fund that children with psitive, early interactins with their care givers - characterized by warmth, respnsiveness, and a stimulating hme envirnment -were at reduced risk f childhd besity.
    “A lt f the discussin arund childhd besity and ther health risks fcuses n identifying and studying the expsure t risk,” said Prfessr Brandi Rllins. ”We tk a strength-based apprach in ur analysis. We fund that a supprtive family and envirnment early in a child’s life may utweigh sme f the cumulative (累计的)risk factrs that children can face. ”
    The study recently appeared in the jurnal Pediatrics. In the article, Rllins analyzed data frm ver 1,000 mther-child pairs and fund that children’s early expsures t family psychscial assets (有价值的 事物)- including a quality hme envirnment, emtinal warmth frm the mther, and a child’s ability t self-regulate - reduced the risk f develping childhd besity.
    “Research n parenting has shwn that these types f family assets influence children’s behavir, academic success, career, and-nt surprisingly - health,” Rllins said. “It’s inspiring t knw that, by prviding a lving, safe envirnment, we can reduce the risk that children will develp besity.”
    This wrk is based n research in parenting and child develpment. Respnsive parenting, ne f the family assets measured in the study, invlves respnding t children in a timely, sensitive, and age-apprpriate manner based n the child’s presenting needs. This study fcused n childhd besity, but the researchers said that parents may imprve many utcmes fr their children by learning respnsive-parenting skills. Knwledge f respnsive-parenting skills, hwever, may nt lead directly t implementing thse skills in the hme.
    “N ne can read a pamphlet (小册子) abut cars and suddenly expect t drive,” said Rllins. “Driving is a skill that requires educatin and practice. The same is true f respnsive parenting. Public health prfessinals, clinicians, and researchers must cllabrate t help families develp psychscial assets, including respnsive parenting and a structured hme envirnment. This culd imprve childhd besity rates and ther imprtant quality-f-life utcmes,” she cntinued.
    12.What was the fcus f the new research?
    A.The ptential psychscial causes f childhd besity.
    B.Cntributing factrs t children’s reduced risk f besity.
    C.The link between childhd besity and ther health risks.
    D.The harmful impacts f besity n kids’ psychscial health.
    13.Accrding t the text, kids _______ are less likely t develp besity.
    A.living in a lving hme envirnmentB.leading a high quality life
    C.gd at expressing their emtinsD.having a balanced diet
    14.Why des the authr mentin driving in the last paragraph?
    A.T shw reading instructins isn’t a gd way t learn driving.
    B.T indicate nt everyne can acquire driving skills withut training.
    C.T illustrate respnsive-parenting skills require educatin and practice.
    D.T stress it’s necessary t learn knwledge f respnsive-parenting skills.
    15.Which f the fllwing wuld Prfessr Rllins agree with?
    A.Kids’ early expsures t family psychscial assets are hard t measure.
    B.Kids’ academic success largely depends n family psychscial assets.
    C.Respnsive parenting is the mst imprtant family psychscial asset.
    D.Develping psychscial assets is a jint effrt f experts and families.

Fr t lng, Chinese cking has been a cuisine that many peple are used t nly eating ut.(这本食谱正在推动中国烹饪成为美国家庭烹饪的领域。长期以来,中国烹饪一直是一种许多人只习惯在外面吃饭的烹饪方式)”可知,这本食谱正推动着中餐成为美国家庭厨师烹饪的一部分;在此之前的很长时间,许多想要享用中餐的美国人只能前往外面的餐馆,故选D项。
    A relatinship between the amunt f adult speech children are expsed t and the cncentratin f myelin, a substance in the brain, has been fund, researchers say.
    “I think the take-hme message is, abslutely talking t yur kids. It’s literally shaping the structure f the brain,” says the lead authr, Prf. Jhn P. Spencer f the University f East Anglia.
    The team find, fr the 30-mnth-lds, larger amunts f adult speech are assciated with higher quantities f myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; hwever, fr the 6-mnth-lds, it ges the ppsite way.
    While the latter (后者) is unexpected, Spencer pints ut ne pssible factr: the brain’s stage f develpment.
    “When babies are six mnths ld, they experience massive grwth f new nerve cells,” he says. “S the input cmes in and may help extend the perid f brain grwth.” “While at 30 mnths, the brain starts t cut back sme f the cell grwth, and frm specific cnnectins. That’s where myelin cmes in. S nw the input starts t help structure the myelin,” he adds.
    The researchers cnclude adult speech is significant fr bth age grups and that the mre adult speech children g thrugh, the mre sensitive they will be t language. The next step fr them is t figure ut whether the 6-mnth-ld babies shwing that negative cnnectin will surely turn int 30-mnth-ld kids wh shw psitive relatinship.
    Dr. Salni Krishnan, Reader in cgnitive neurscience (认知神经科学) at Ryal Hllway, University f Lndn, wh is nt invlved in the wrk, hwever, ntes individual differences in language ability are linked t genetics. “Children wh are expsed t mre language at hme and have higher myelinatin will als have inherited genes (经遗传获得的基因) frm parents wh are mre excellent in languages,” she said. “N final cnclusin culd be made befre this ptential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently n standard arund the amunt f input children shuld receive, caregivers shuld nt necessarily feel pressure t talk mre t their children.”
    8.Which can replace the underlined wrds “take-hme message” in paragraph 2?
    A.Prcess.B.Reasn.C.Pint.D.Cnsequence.
    9.What surprises the team?
    A.The finding fr the 30-mnth-lds.B.The finding fr the 6-mnth-lds.
    C.Hw the input help nerve cells grw.D.Hw the input help structure the myelin.
    10.What des the researchers think f adult speech?
    A.It is psitively related t myelin.B.It cuts back sme f the cell grwth.
    C.Its effect varies with the size f brains.D.It is helpful fr bth grups’ language ability.
    11.What might Dr. Salni Krishnan apprve f?
    A.The team shuld d mre research.B.Inherited genes decide language ability.
    C.Parents must talk mre t their kids.D.The cncentratin f myelin makes n sense.

    【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了一个研究团队的发现(多跟孩子交流有助于孩子的大脑发育,尤其是语言方面)和其他专家就该研究发现发表的言论。
    8.词义猜测题。根据划线词“is, abslutely talking t yur kids. It’s literally shaping the structure f the brain”可知,Prf. Jhn P. Spencer认为重点是跟孩子交流;这确实能够影响孩子大脑结构的发育,故划线词意思是“重点”。故选C项。
    9.细节理解题。根据第三段“The team find, fr the 30-mnth-lds, larger amunts f adult speech are assciated with higher quantities f myelin in language-related pathways in the brain; hwever, fr the 6-mnth-lds, it ges the ppsite way.(研究小组发现,对于30个月大的婴儿来说,更多的成人语言与大脑中语言相关通路中更多的髓磷脂有关;然而,对于6个月大的婴儿来说,情况正好相反)”以及第四段“While the latter (后者) is unexpected, Spencer pints ut ne pssible factr: the brain’s stage f develpment.(虽然后者出乎意料,但斯宾塞指出了一个可能的因素:大脑的发育阶段)”可知,使这个研究团队吃惊的是第三段中提到的对六个月大的婴儿的研究发现,故选B项。
    10.细节理解题。根据第六段第一句“The researchers cnclude adult speech is significant fr bth age grups and that the mre adult speech children g thrugh, the mre sensitive they will be t language”可知,研究人员得出结论:父母的言语对六个月大和三十个月大的孩子都很重要;并且孩子所接收的父母的言语越多,孩子们日后对语言就会越敏感,故选D项。
    11.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句““N final cnclusin culd be made befre this ptential genetic effect are tested. And yet there being currently n standard arund the amunt f input children shuld receive, caregivers shuld nt necessarily feel pressure t talk mre t their children.”(“在测试这种潜在的遗传效应之前,无法得出最终结论。然而,目前还没有关于孩子应该接受多少信息的标准,照顾者不必感到压力,要和孩子多说话。”)”可知,Dr. Salni Krishnan认为在潜在的基因方面的影响被测定之前,不能断言“父母多跟孩子交流会提高孩子的语言能力”,即这个研究团队需要做进一步的研究,故选A项。
    Nisy family? Lud cnstructin right utside yur windw? A new flexible ludspeaker culd help yu rest easily. It culd turn yur walls int nise-canceling systems.
    The new ludspeaker is abut as thick as a few sheets f paper. It’s lightweight and flexible enugh t stick t mst surfaces t cntrl nise much easier, ntes Jinchi Han, an electrical engineer at the Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy in Cambridge.
    Lts f dme-shaped (圆顶状的) micrstructures are in the centre f the new speaker.

    Han pints ut large area f the new material culd make cntrlling nise much easier.
    Each dme wrks as a tiny speaker. The dmes can generate sund waves all tgether, in grups r individually. Wallpapering yur bedrm with this material wuld create speakers all arund yu. Thse same speakers culd then dampen r cancel unwanted sund. “If yu desire, yu culd turn any space int a quiet zne where yu culd sleep r study with barely any nise,” Han says. He als sees applicatins in cars, airplanes, apartments r wherever unwanted nise is a prblem.
    Large versins culd be the next step fr this super-thin speakers, says Lri Beckstead, a sund artist.
    “The new speakers are s thin and light that they culd be placed in spaces where traditinal ludspeakers might have been impractical,” Beckstead adds. She ntes that adding nise-canceling technlgy t lud spaces frm restaurants t nisy industrial plants wuld be fantastic.
    12.What can we learn abut the new ludspeaker frm the first paragraph?
    A.It culd reduce unwanted nise.B.It cvers a vast area.
    C.It is flexible t any cnstructin.D.It prduces much nise.
    13.Why is the surface f the dme safe t tuch?
    A.The bttm layer lifts up the dme.
    B.It can generate sund waves all tgether.
    C.It is prtected by the upper and bttm layers.
    D.The upper prtective layer is thicker than the dme.
    14.What is the benefit f the new material accrding t Han?
    A.Lud nisy spaces are using it effectively nw.
    B.It culd cntrl nise mre effectively when used largely.
    C.Any space culd be turned int a zer-nise ne by using it.
    D.Wallpapering yur bedrm with it creates cmfrtable sund.
    15.What is Beckstead’s attitude t the applicatin f the new speakers?
    A.Favrable.B.Intlerant.C.Dubtful.D.Unclear.
    【答案】12.A 13.C 14.B 15.A

    William Lindesay, renwned Great Wall expert and cnservatinist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled acrss the glbe by the back paths, prviding their sns Jimmy and Tmmy a unique envirnment fr persnal grwth.
    Sunhats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking ples — these are the day-t-day must-haves f the family. This East-meets-West cuple started traveling while their yunger sn was still in nappies in 2003. Mst f their trips, mst f which are far frm the ht spts recmmended by travel guidebks, seem mre rigrus than leisurely — heritage study in the Mnglian deserts, a 53-kilmeter hiking tur f New Zealand, a ne-day climb f three English summits and a six-day train ride frm Beijing t Mscw.
    “Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncmfrtable, but there’s a feel-gd factr when yu pass a test f sme kind,” Lindesay wrte in the family’s newly published travel memir Pages f Discvery.
    Lindesay attaches great imprtance t learning ut f the classrm, saying that children might scre well n schl tests, but that experience f the wrld utside, in distant lands, with different languages, scripts, plitical structures, and religius beliefs, is the real testing grund.
    Children in this internatinal family did nt have the same pressure t perfrm n schl tests, but they had “hmewrk” n the rad. Wu asked her sns t write travel diaries, cllect tickets, draw maps and summarize travel tips. She says such habits, thugh they might nt directly imprve test scres, will pay dividends in later life.
    These experiences certainly shaped their sns’ characters and influenced their chsen study at university. One read wrld histry, the ther internatinal relatins. The tw brthers als share an interest in histrical mnuments, and the Great Wall in particular. They are nw planning t fllw in their father’s ftsteps with a new 4,500-km hike n the Great Wall.
    “My parents view the wrld as a big classrm, and my brther and I are the biggest beneficiaries,” Jimmy says.
    4.Which f the fllwing best describes their trips acrss the wrld?
    A.Hard and risky.B.Unique yet stressful.
    C.Challenging and educatinal.D.Leisurely yet rewarding.
    5.What can we infer abut the cuple frm the text?
    A.They think little f schl educatin.
    B.They believe travel prvides real educatin.
    C.They ask their sns t fllw their career path.
    D.They require their sns t perfrm well n schl tests.
    6.What d the underlined wrds “pay dividends” mean in paragraph 5?
    A.Bring advantages.B.Pay a price.
    C.Imprve scres.D.Make mistakes.
    7.What des the family’s stry tell us?
    A.Gd cmpany n the rad is the shrtest cut.
    B.Gd habits frmed at yuth make all the difference.
    C.A jurney f a thusand miles begins with a single step.
    D.It is better t travel 10,000 miles than t read 10,000 bks.

    A new study suggests that mindfulness educatin — lessns n techniques t calm the mind and bdy — can reduce the negative effects f stress and increase students’ ability t stay engaged, helping them stay n track academically and avid behavir prblems.
    After finding that students wh self-reprted mindful habits perfrmed better n tests and had higher grades, researchers frm the Center fr Educatin Plicy Research at Harvard University wanted t knw if schl-based mindfulness training culd help mre students reap similar benefits.
    They designed a study fcusing n sixth-graders in a Bstn schl. The study shwed that sixth-graders wh participated in an eight-week mindfulness were less stressed ut than their classmates wh hadn’t. Practicing mindfulness had helped imprve the ability t fcus in the mment, expanding students’ capacity t learn and regulate their emtins.
    Fur times a week, instructrs frm Calmer Chice, a Massachusetts nnprfit specializing in mindfulness educatin, taught the grup techniques and led them thrugh practices, like fcusing n a rck fr a minute, then discussing when their mind wandered and refcused n the rck. Anther grup f sixth-graders tk cmputer cding during that time instead. The students were randmly assigned between the grups.
    At the end f the eight weeks, the mindfulness grup reprted being less stressed than they had been befre the mindfulness educatin, and better able t practice self-cntrl. And their amygdalae, the part f the brain that cntrls emtin, respnded less t pictures f fearful faces than they did prir t the mindfulness wrk, suggesting their brains were less sensitive t negative stimuli, r, in ther wrds, that they were less likely t get stressed ut and lse fcus. The grup wh attended cding classes didn’t see the same benefits.
    The findings suggest that the mindfulness instructin helped bst students’ attentin skills, as well as develp cping mechanisms fr stress. The researchers believe it culd be especially useful fr schls t supprt students suffering frm severe mental damage and ther adversities that trigger stress in the bdy, hurting students’ ability t succeed.
    12.What was the purpse f the study?
    A.T examine the techniques fr practicing mindfulness.
    B.T study the effects f grup mindfulness training n students.
    C.T see hw students help themselves t perfrm better n tests.
    D.T understand why mindfulness training calms the mind and bdy.
    13.Hw was the study cnducted?
    A.By listing benefits f mindfulness educatin.
    B.By scanning the brain t see hw it cntrls emtins.
    C.By teaching different students different mindfulness skills.
    D.By cmparing tw grups f students attending different classes.
    14.What change tk place after the students practiced mindfulness wrk?
    A.They felt easier t stay fcused.B.They were better at cmputer cding.
    C.Their mind was wandering mre actively.D.Their brains were mre aware f negativity.
    15.Wh are the mst pssible target readers f the passage?
    A.Stressful parents.B.Mindful instructrs.

    13.推理判断题。根据第四段中“Fur times a week, instructrs frm Calmer Chice, a Massachusetts nnprfit specializing in mindfulness educatin, taught the grup techniques and led them thrugh practices (来自马萨诸塞州专注于正念教育的非盈利机构Calmer Chice的教师每周四次教授小组技巧,并带领他们进行练习)”和“Anther grup f sixth-graders tk cmputer cding during that time instead. (另一组六年级学生在这段时间学习计算机编程。)”可知,研究人员将参与者分成了两个小组,一个小组进行正念训练,另一个小组学习编程。因此,该研究是通过比较学习不同课程的两组学生来进行的。故选D项。
    14.细节理解题。根据第五段中“And their amygdalae, the part f the brain that cntrls emtin, respnded less t pictures f fearful faces than they did prir t the mindfulness wrk, suggesting their brains were less sensitive t negative stimuli, r, in ther wrds, that they were less likely t get stressed ut and lse fcus. (他们的大脑中控制情绪的部分——杏仁体,对恐惧面孔的反应比他们在进行正念训练之前要少,这表明他们的大脑对负面刺激不那么敏感,换句话说,他们不太可能感到压力和注意力不集中。)”可知,在学生们进行正念练习后,他们更容易集中注意力,保持专注。故选A项。
    15.推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The researchers believe it culd be especially useful fr schls t supprt students suffering frm severe mental damage and ther adversities that trigger stress in the bdy, hurting students’ ability t succeed. (研究人员认为,这对学校来说尤其有用,可以帮助那些遭受严重精神损伤和其他逆境的学生,这些逆境会引发身体压力,损害学生成功的能力。)”可知,该研究可以很好地指导学校去帮助遭遇精神损伤和其他逆境的学生。由此推知,文章最有可能的目标读者群体是学校的教育者。故选D项。

    Including a jke in the title f a paper culd pay ff in terms f citatins (引用), accrding t a study. The finding — which has nt been prved by peers — suggests that researchers culd gain citatins by giving their papers amusing titles while sme say the evidence is t weak t supprt the cnclusin.
    Jkes smetimes find their way int academic papers. “One place where we ften see humr is in titles, but there’s a very small amunt f literature abut whether this is reasnable,” says lead authr Stephen Heard, an evlutinary eclgist.
    T investigate whether having a funny title culd bst a paper’s readership and citatins, Heard and his clleagues asked vlunteers t scre the titles f 2,439 papers accrding t hw amusing they were. The scrers assessed humr n a seven-pint scale, frm zer (serius titles) t six (extremely funny). The researchers then lked fr a link between papers’ humr scres and the number f citatins they had received, including self-citatins by their wn authrs.
    Papers with funny titles were cited slightly less ften than thse with mre serius r straightfrward titles. Hwever, papers with mre amusing titles als tended t have fewer self-citatins, which led Heard’s team t infer that scientists might give funnier titles t less imprtant papers. “Our assumptin is that authrs dn’t cite their wn papers subsequently because they dn’t think that thse are their mst imprtant papers,” Heard says.
    After cntrlling fr self-citatins as a measure f a paper’s imprtance, the researchers fund that articles with funny titles are in fact cited mre than thse with serius titles. Fr example, papers with titles that gt a scre f six had nearly twice as many citatins n average as thse whse titles gt a humr scre f fur. But sme researchers argued that self-citatins might nt be a gd criterin fr a paper’s imprtance.
    8.The finding f the study can be best described as _________ accrding t the first paragraph.
    A.a widely accepted belief.B.smething surprising.
    C.a whlly resisted pinin.D.smething still in debate.
    9.Hw did the researchers carry ut the first stage f the study?
    A.By enquiring abut vlunteers’ attitudes tward funny titles.
    B.By asking participants t divide thse titles int seven ranks.
    C.By matching the papers’ scres with the vlunteers’ likes.
    D.By digitalizing the citatins int varius scres f humr.
    10.Which f the fllwing statements will Heard mst prbably agree with?
    A.Including a jke in an essay is by n means a gd attempt.
    B.Self-citatins dn’t serve as a gd standard fr the research.
    C.Articles with fewer self-citatins tend t be unimprtant t the authrs.
    D.Scientists shuld stp their self-citatins t guarantee academic fairness.
    11.Which f the fllwing is the best title f the passage?
    A.One Cites Himself: A Rise T FameB.Funny Or Serius: It Serves Yur Chice
    C.Are Yu Jking: Funny Titles Are GdD.Jking Paper Titles: Fewer Citatins Or Mre
    【答案】8.D 9.B 10.C 11.D
    【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了学术论文标题中包含笑话是否会增加引用次数的一项研究。
    8.细节理解题。根据第一段“The finding — which has nt been prved by peers — suggests that researchers culd gain citatins by giving their papers amusing titles while sme say the evidence is t weak t supprt the cnclusin.(这一尚未得到同行证实的发现表明,研究人员可以通过给论文起有趣的标题来获得引用,而有些人则认为证据太弱,无法支持这一结论)”可知,这项研究的发现并未被同行证实,有些同行认为证据不足,因而研究成果还存在争议。故选D。
    9.细节理解题。根据第三段“T investigate whether having a funny title culd bst a paper’s readership and citatins, Heard and his clleagues asked vlunteers t scre the titles f 2,439 papers accrding t hw amusing they were.(为了调查一个有趣的标题是否能提高论文的读者和引用率,赫德和他的同事们让志愿者们根据标题的有趣程度给2439篇论文的标题打分)”可知,研究者在研究的起始阶段让志愿者对论文标题的趣味性进行评分。故选B。
    10.推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Hwever, papers with mre amusing titles als tended t have fewer self-citatins, which led Heard’s team t infer that scientists might give funnier titles t less imprtant papers.(然而,标题更有趣的论文往往也有更少的自我引用,这让赫德的团队推断,科学家可能会给不太重要的论文起更有趣的标题)”可知,Heard的团队推断,科学家可能会给不太重要的论文起更有趣的标题,因为这些论文的自我引用次数较少。由此推知,Heard可能会同意自我引用次数较少的文章对作者来说可能不太重要。故选C。
    11.主旨大意题。根据第一段“Including a jke in the title f a paper culd pay ff in terms f citatins (引用), accrding t a study.(根据一项研究,在论文标题中加入一个笑话可以在引用方面获得回报)”及全文可知,文章主要讨论了一项研究,该研究发现,带有趣标题的论文在控制了自我引用次数后,实际上被引用的次数更多。由此可知,D 项“Jking Paper Titles: Fewer Citatins Or Mre(戏谑的的论文标题:引用少还是多)”能概括文章的整体内容,适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。
    Expecting the wrst t avid feeling bad later is knwn as “bracing”. It may help them prepare fr emtinally challenging situatins, particularly in the mments befre these situatins ccur. Peple brace fr the wrst while waiting fr ptentially negative utcmes. Smene might als brace fr the wrst in anticipatin f stressful events like giving a presentatin at wrk.
    Sme psychlgical theries suggest that bracing shuld help. Fr example, “decisin affect thery” prpses that hw we feel abut a situatin is determined partly by cmparing what actually happened with what culd have happened. Based n this, peple shuld be happy when an event ges beynd their expectatins, and disappinted when an event falls behind. Therefre, by anticipating the wrst, ne can safeguard themselves against future disappintment, as any result is likely t surpass their expectatins.
    But ther psychlgical theries undermine the idea that bracing will be helpful. It has been therized and scientifically established – that expectatins can pwerfully influence reality. There are tw key ways that expectatins can shape reality.
    First, peple may behave in ways that fit with their expectatins. If yu expect t fail an upcming test r interview, then yu might nt invest effrts in preparatin, which in turn reduces yur chances f ding well. Secnd, peple may interpret a situatin in line with their expectatins. Imagine yu believe yu are insufficiently qualified fr a jb yu’ve applied fr. During the jb interview, yu’re likely t interpret blank expressins frm the interviewer in line with this belief, which culd negatively affect yur perfrmance. In fact, the interviewer did nt want t give anything away.
    Drawing tgether the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the wrst is anything but a wise way t prepare fr upcming news r results. It might be better t hld psitive expectatins than t brace fr the wrst.
    12.What is the secnd paragraph mainly abut?
    A.The lgic f preparing fr the wrst.
    B.The thery f cmparing past and future.
    C.The cnflict between peple’s expectatin and reality.
    D.The emtins hidden behind anticipating the wrst.
    13.What des the underlined wrd “undermine” in paragraph 3 mean?
    A.Strengthen.B.Determine.C.Oppse.D.Justify.
    14.Hw can negative expectatins prbably affect peple’s perfrmance in reality?
    A.By resulting in unnecessary time waste.

    15.What is the authr’s attitude tward bracing fr the wrst?
    A.Unclear.B.Objective.C.Negative.D.Apprving.
    【答案】12.A 13.C 14.D 15.C
    【解析】本文是一篇议论文。主要介绍了人们对未来可能发生的负面情况进行预期的行为,即“做最坏打算”的心理学概念,探讨了相关的理论和研究,并认为持有积极的期望可能比预期最坏情况更加有益。
    12.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sme psychlgical theries suggest that bracing shuld help. Fr example, “decisin affect thery” prpses that hw we feel abut a situatin is determined partly by cmparing what actually happened with what culd have happened. Based n this, peple shuld be happy when an event ges beynd their expectatins, and disappinted when an event falls behind. Therefre, by anticipating the wrst, ne can safeguard themselves against future disappintment, as any result is likely t surpass their expectatins.”(一些心理学理论认为,支撑应该有所帮助。例如,“决策影响理论”提出,我们对一种情况的感受在一定程度上是由实际发生的事情与可能发生的事情的比较决定的。基于此,当一件事超出预期时,人们应该感到高兴,当一件事落后时,人们应该感到失望。因此,通过做最坏的打算,人们可以保护自己免受未来的失望,因为任何结果都可能超过他们的预期。)可知,第二段主要讲的是做最坏打算的逻辑。故选A项。
    13.词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Sme psychlgical theries suggest that bracing shuld help.”(一些心理学理论认为,支撑应该有所帮助。)以及第三段“It has been therized and scientifically established – that expectatins can pwerfully influence reality.”(期望能有力地影响现实,这已被理论化和科学地证实。)可推断出此处表示意思的转折,即其他心理学理论“颠覆”(反对)这种看法,故可猜测划线单词undermine为“反对”的意思,与C项Oppse“反对”意思一致。故选C项。
    14.细节理解题。根据第四段中“If yu expect t fail an upcming test r interview, then yu might nt invest effrts in preparatin, which in turn reduces yur chances f ding well. Secnd, peple may interpret a situatin in line with their expectatins. Imagine yu believe yu are insufficiently qualified fr a jb yu’ve applied fr. During the jb interview, yu’re likely t interpret blank expressins frm the interviewer in line with this belief, which culd negatively affect yur perfrmance.”(如果你认为自己在即将到来的考试或面试中会不及格,那么你可能就不会在准备工作上投入精力,这反过来又会降低你取得好成绩的机会。其次,人们可能会根据自己的期望来解释情况。假设你认为自己不足以胜任你所申请的工作。在求职面试中,你很可能会把面试官的茫然表情理解为与这种想法一致,这可能会对你的表现产生负面影响。)可知,消极预期通过减少准备和一些误解来影响人们在现实中的表现。故选D项。
    15.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Drawing tgether the scientific studies, it seems that expecting the wrst is anything but a wise way t prepare fr upcming news r results. It might be better t hld psitive expectatins than t brace fr the wrst.”(综合这些科学研究,似乎做最坏的打算绝不是为即将到来的新闻或结果做准备的明智方式。与其做最坏的打算,不如保持积极的预期。)可推知,作者认为做最坏的打算,不如保持积极的预期,作者对做最坏的打算持有反对态度。故选C项。

    Alchl has lng been an imprtant part f wrkplace culture. In almst all aspects f life, regular alchl cnsumptin has even been encuraged: frm cllege and university all thrugh t the wrkplace either t strengthen relatinship r t uplift spirits. Hsting meetings at bars and restaurants with drinks flwing is even part f sme cmpanies' business strategy, thrugh which ptential business partners get drunk tgether t becme friends, s they can trust each ther nt t harm the ther persn's prfessinal interests.
    Althugh sme emplyees welcme alchl int their wrk lives, the emphasis n drinking culture in the wrkplace desn't suit all. Research frm 2019, cnducted by researchers at the University f Stavanger in Nrway, fund that when emplyers r supervisrs initiate drinking, emplyees feel it their bligatin t participate. And amng peple in the UK, half f thse surveyed by researchers at the University f Stirling in Sctland admitted t being pressured int drinking alchl by clleagues and family. It als shwed that generally, men felt frced int drinking mre ften than wmen, with men 20% mre likely t be encuraged int drinking by their clleagues and 37% mre by their bsses.
    Yet, as central as drinking is t wrkplace scialisatin and strategy, there are signs that sme cmpanies are re-thinking the rle f alchl in prfessinal settings. After all, many wrkers dn't drink fr persnal reasns, and interactins invlving alchl at wrk can cause anxiety. The increasingly large ppulatin f Gen Zers (Z世代,网生代) are pushing fr deeper
    and calmer cnversatins withut alchl.
    Accrding t a survey f 2,400 wrkers and 250 emplyees in the UK frm Ttaljbs, mre than ne in three wrkers see drinking with clleagues as utdated. Tactics (策略,方法) like nn-alchlic ptins and bnding activities that aren't dependent n alchl nt nly create a mre inclusive envirnment fr nn-drinkers where they feel equally valued, and are welcme, but a space where staff wh d drink feel cmfrtable - then everyne wins.
    32. What's Paragraph 1 mainly abut?
    A. Peple's lve fr alchl.
    B. Peple's prejudice abut alchl.
    C. The harm alchl des.

    33. What des the underlined wrd "bligatin" in Paragraph 2 mean?
    A.Respnsibility. B. Superirity. C.Opprtunity. D. Capability.
    34. What can we knw abut Gen Zers?
    A. They are mainly emplyers.
    B. They think alchl stps clear thinking.
    C. They regard alchl as effective bnding.
    D. They may increase alchl cnsumptin.
    35. What des the last paragraph suggest?
    A. Scial activities depend n alchl.
    B. Mst wrkers regard alchl utdated.
    C. There are alternatives t please everyne.
    D. The drinking staff shuld stay in ne space.

    1840’s Original KAZOO
    What is a kaz? Kaz (卡祖笛) is a very special wind instrument which hums thrugh the human vice and enhances the sund, similar t the saxphne. Playing Kaz desn’t need t learn music thery, recite music scres, r even practice. Kaz may sund like a saxphne and trumpet. It is ften played when a guest is welcmed.
    Kaz Histry The Kaz rts date back t Africa where they were riginally used fr sacred ceremnies, althugh the exact purpse is still a mystery t all. Later, the Kaz was used t drive away enemies, nt as a musical instrument.
    Hw t play? Kaz has a simple structure. The flute is big at ne end and small at the ther. When playing, yu shuld hld the big head in yur muth withut blwing, but hum a tune with yur thrat. The vibratin f the vcal crd drives the vibratin f the sund film n the flute t make a sund. Fr beginners, “d-d” is a perfect attempt. Remember DON’T BLOW-HUM.
    Maintenance It is recmmended t keep yur Kaz clean and dry. Excessive saliva (唾液) des nt d the tin much gd. Als fd intake must be cnsidered. Beer, garlic, chilli have a strange effect n the sund, but dn’t be anxius. Sme peple even prefer these effects. Frm time t time the membrane (薄膜) may need replacing thrugh excessive wear r dampness. When remving the ld ne, yu shuldn’t use any mechanical tls r it wuld harm its further use. As fr substitutin, it is a piece f cake as yu just need t cut a piece f waxed paper the size f the hle and screw back the cap.
