My grandfather was a rigid (刻板的) perfectinist. Everything had t be rderly, precise and punctual. I was frightened f him until the day he died. Grwing up, my mther desperately wanted t please him. She prbably thught he might leave if she didn’t.
In fact, I nw think the fear f being left alne, abandned, was a current thrughut much f her life. A few years int my father suffering frm Alzheimer’s, my mther’s vice n the phne sunded s upset that I had t tell her, “Just be with yurself fr a little while. Be calm and everything can be better.”
“N, I can’t d that. I dn’t want t d that,” she said suddenly, clsing the dr n the subject. A while after my father died, she tld me that she kept the televisin n all the time because it made her feel less lnely. “It makes the huse seem t have mre peple living in it,” she said. I had given in t my annyance and either turned the vlume dwn r turned it ff. But after she tld me that it filled in sme f the lneliness, I never reached fr the remte cntrl again.
We have had a lng jurney tgether, she and I. Over a half-century f memries, nw that the jurney has ended, I have a chice which nes t study and which nes t turn ver in my hands and dust ff (抹去).
I chse t lk at the nes that ache with a sweet truth nt tld ften enugh. There was lve between us. It was just hard t find smetimes. I chse t remember her face n that winter day in Manhattan, when I came t her with a brken heart. I chse t remember walking n the shre with her in summers when we rented a beach huse. Smehw the sea always changed us. I chse t remember hw she lked n my wedding day when she handed me a bracelet (手镯) that had belnged t my grandmther. “Smething ld,” she said.

Cckats (凤头鹦鹉) are nly the third animal besides humans and chimpanzees, knwn t pick tls flexibly based n the tasks they expect t face accrding t a study recently published in Current Bilgy.
In 2021, scientists bserved that cckats fashined three tls — a wedge (楔子), a knife and a spn — t help pen fruits. It shwed that they were making tls with different functins, but an imprtant questin remained; Did the birds use the tls as a set fr the same gal, r just as respnses t the result f the use f the frmer?
T answer it, researchers designed a special puzzle bx inside which was a grand prize: a cashew (腰果), the favrite fd f cckats. Getting it ut f the bx required tw tls: a shrt, sharp tl that had t first cut a film blcking the bird’s access t the nut and a lng ple that had t be stuck int the hle t fish ut the cashew.
Accrding t the bservatin, six f ten cckats fund the crrect slutin. When a simpler bx with n film was presented, they were likely t merely pick up the ple. Then the bx was mved farther frm the tls, meaning the birds had t chse the right tls and then carry them ver. When deciding which tls t bring, the cckats planned ahead. If facing a bx with a film, they figured ut hw t carry the tls tgether and wuld cme prepared with bth If withut, they tended t bring the fishing ple.
The study shws that cckats can use and transprt tl sets flexibly fr immediate future use, and thus their tl use is mre than the sum f its parts. The researchers nw hpe t see if the birds can manage this even when the bx is nt in direct view, and further explre the evlutinary histry f tl use in this species.
Dr. Auersperg, ne f the researchers, thinks the study prves an anti-bird phrase needs revising. “Bird brain,” she said, “shuld actually be a cmpliment.”
8．Why des the authr mentin the 2021 research in paragraph 2?
A. T reveal its limitatin.B. T review a significant study.
C. T establish the research gal.D. T intrduce the research questin.
9．Which is the last step fr the cckats t get the reward?
A. Cnsider tl useB. Cut a hle in the film.
C. Pull the ple frm the bx.D. Get ut f the bx t eat.
10．What des the underlined wrd “cmpliment” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. TpicB. RealityC. Cncern.D. Praise.
11．What is the main idea f the text?
A. Cckats are creative prblem slvers.
B. Cckats knw t use tl sets flexibly.
C. Cckats are the third smartest animals.
D. Cckats adapt t envirnmental changes easily.
Each year, the wrld lses abut 10 millin hectares f frest—an area abut the size f Iceland—because f cutting dwn trees. At that rate, sme scientists predict the wrld’s frests culd disappear in 100 t 200 years. T handle it, nw researchers at Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) have pineered a technique t generate wd-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it pssible t “grw” a wden prduct withut cutting dwn trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells frm the leaves f a yung plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium fr tw days, then mved t anther medium which cntains nutrients and tw different hrmnes. By adjusting the hrmne levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities f the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer t shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grw in the dark fr three mnths. Finally, the researchers dehydrate the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They fund that lwer hrmne levels lead t plant materials with mre runded, pen cells f lwer density, while higher hrmne levels cntribute t the grwth f plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures. Lwer r higher density f cell structures makes the plant materials sfter r mre rigid, helping the materials grw with different wd-like characteristics. What’s mre, it’s t be nted that the research prcess is abut 100 times faster than the time it takes fr a tree t grw t maturity!
Research f this kind is grund-breaking. “This wrk demnstrates the great pwer f a technlgy,” says lead researcher, Jeffrey Berenstain. “The real pprtunity here is t be at its best with what yu use and hw yu use it. This technlgy can be tuned t meet the requirements yu give abut shapes, sizes, rigidity, and frms. It enables us t ‘grw’ any wden prduct in a way that traditinal agricultural methds can’t achieve.”
12．Why d researchers at MIT cnduct the research?
A. T grw mre trees.B. T prtect plant diversity.
C. T reduce tree lsses.D. T predict frest disappearance.
13．What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us abut the lab research?
A. Its theretical basis.B. Its key prcedures.
C. Its scientific evidence.D. Its usual difficulties.
14．What des the finding suggest abut the plant materials?
A. The hrmne levels affect their rigidity.
B. They are better than naturally grwn plants.
C. Their cells’ shapes mainly rely n their density.
D. Their grwth speed determines their characteristics.
15．Why is the research grund-breaking accrding t Berenstain?
A. It uses new bilgical materials in lab experiments.
B. It revlutinizes the way t make wden prducts.
C. It challenges traditinal scientific theries in frestry.
D. It has a significant impact n wrldwide plant grwth.

51．阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervus abut many things. But nthing cmpared t the prblem that I gt t the age where my vice started changing. At first, the vice getting deep excited me. But then I learned befre getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was s embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun f me. In fact, they didn’t even mentin it. But in my self-cnscius sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun f me behind my back. They weren’t having the same prblem.
After my first vice crack experience, I was determined t make sure it wuldn’t happen again. At least nt in public. S, except fr strategic times I said, “cl” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My lgic was, “If I dn’t use my vice, it cannt crack.” Hwever, I culdn’t g withut talking frever. I needed a new slutin.
I began clearing my thrat befre speaking, which actually seemed t help. Limiting hw much I spke and clearing my vice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger prblem. I was much mre scared abut having a vice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spken with. I didn’t want their first impressins f me t be based n a vice crack.
Unfrtunately, ne day my cncern came true. It was abut tw mnths after the beginning f the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I gt int the classrm. I nticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking abut hw he wuld take attendance. My permanent teacher never had t, since he already knew each student, I panicked. S many thughts rushed thrugh my mind that I culdn’t think straight. I calmed myself dwn by telling myself that I nly had t say ne wrd “Here”. “Easy enugh, right?” I thught s until my name was called. I did my rutine — cleared my thrat, tk a breath, and said, “Here.” The nly prblem was that while saying this, I had the wrst vice crack in the histry f vice cracks.

If facing a bx with a film, they figured ut hw t carry the tls tgether and wuld cme prepared with bth If withut, they tended t bring the fishing ple.(根据观察，十只凤头鹦鹉中有六只找到了正确的解决方案。当给他们一个没有薄膜的简单盒子时，他们可能只会拿起电线杆。然后箱子被移到离工具更远的地方，这意味着鸟儿必须选择合适的工具，然后把它们带过去。在决定带什么工具时，凤头鹦鹉会提前计划。如果面对一个装有薄膜的盒子，他们会想出如何把工具一起携带，并准备好两种工具。如果没有，他们往往会带上鱼竿)”可知，考虑使用工具是凤头鹦鹉获得奖励的最后一步。故选A。
10．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“The study shws that cckats can use and transprt tl sets flexibly fr immediate future use, and thus their tl use is mre than the sum f its parts.(研究表明，凤头鹦鹉可以灵活地使用和运输工具以备将来使用，因此它们的工具使用超过其部分的总和)”以及划线词上文““Bird brain,” she said, “shuld actually be a”可知，研究表明鸟类也可以使用工具，也很聪明，所以“鸟脑”应该作为一种赞美。故划线词意思是“赞美”。故选D。
11．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cckats (凤头鹦鹉) are nly the third animal besides humans and chimpanzees, knwn t pick tls flexibly based n the tasks they expect t face accrding t a study recently published in Current Bilgy.(根据最近发表在《当代生物学》上的一项研究，凤头鹦鹉是除了人类和黑猩猩之外的第三种动物，它们可以根据自己预期面临的任务灵活地选择工具)”结合文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现和意义。可知，B选项“凤头鹦鹉懂得灵活使用工具”最符合文章标题。故选B。

Cckats (凤头鹦鹉) are nly the third animal besides humans and chimpanzees, knwn t pick tls flexibly based n the tasks they expect t face accrding t a study recently published in Current Bilgy.
In 2021, scientists bserved that cckats fashined three tls — a wedge (楔子), a knife and a spn — t help pen fruits. It shwed that they were making tls with different functins, but an imprtant questin remained; Did the birds use the tls as a set fr the same gal, r just as respnses t the result f the use f the frmer?
T answer it, researchers designed a special puzzle bx inside which was a grand prize: a cashew (腰果), the favrite fd f cckats. Getting it ut f the bx required tw tls: a shrt, sharp tl that had t first cut a film blcking the bird’s access t the nut and a lng ple that had t be stuck int the hle t fish ut the cashew.
Accrding t the bservatin, six f ten cckats fund the crrect slutin. When a simpler bx with n film was presented, they were likely t merely pick up the ple. Then the bx was mved farther frm the tls, meaning the birds had t chse the right tls and then carry them ver. When deciding which tls t bring, the cckats planned ahead. If facing a bx with a film, they figured ut hw t carry the tls tgether and wuld cme prepared with bth If withut, they tended t bring the fishing ple.
The study shws that cckats can use and transprt tl sets flexibly fr immediate future use, and thus their tl use is mre than the sum f its parts. The researchers nw hpe t see if the birds can manage this even when the bx is nt in direct view, and further explre the evlutinary histry f tl use in this species.
Dr. Auersperg, ne f the researchers, thinks the study prves an anti-bird phrase needs revising. “Bird brain,” she said, “shuld actually be a cmpliment.”
8．Why des the authr mentin the 2021 research in paragraph 2?
A. T reveal its limitatin.B. T review a significant study.
C. T establish the research gal.D. T intrduce the research questin.
9．Which is the last step fr the cckats t get the reward?
A. Cnsider tl useB. Cut a hle in the film.
C. Pull the ple frm the bx.D. Get ut f the bx t eat.
10．What des the underlined wrd “cmpliment” in the last paragraph prbably mean?
A. TpicB. RealityC. Cncern.D. Praise.
11．What is the main idea f the text?
A. Cckats are creative prblem slvers.
B. Cckats knw t use tl sets flexibly.
C. Cckats are the third smartest animals.
D. Cckats adapt t envirnmental changes easily.
Each year, the wrld lses abut 10 millin hectares f frest—an area abut the size f Iceland—because f cutting dwn trees. At that rate, sme scientists predict the wrld’s frests culd disappear in 100 t 200 years. T handle it, nw researchers at Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy (MIT) have pineered a technique t generate wd-like plant materials in a lab. This makes it pssible t “grw” a wden prduct withut cutting dwn trees.
In the lab, the researchers first take cells frm the leaves f a yung plant. These cells are cultured in liquid medium fr tw days, then mved t anther medium which cntains nutrients and tw different hrmnes. By adjusting the hrmne levels, the researchers can tune the physical and mechanical qualities f the cells. Next, the researchers use a 3D printer t shape the cell-based material, and let the shaped material grw in the dark fr three mnths. Finally, the researchers dehydrate the material, and then evaluate its qualities.
They fund that lwer hrmne levels lead t plant materials with mre runded, pen cells f lwer density, while higher hrmne levels cntribute t the grwth f plant materials with smaller but denser cell structures.

When starting my sixth-grade year, I was nervus abut many things. But nthing cmpared t the prblem that I gt t the age where my vice started changing. At first, the vice getting deep excited me. But then I learned befre getting deeper, it can crack (变嘶哑).
The first time it happened I was s embarrassed. Surprisingly, my friends didn’t make fun f me. In fact, they didn’t even mentin it. But in my self-cnscius sixth-grade mind I was certain they made fun f me behind my back. They weren’t having the same prblem.
After my first vice crack experience, I was determined t make sure it wuldn’t happen again. At least nt in public. S, except fr strategic times I said, “cl” and “yeah”, I didn’t talk. My lgic was, “If I dn’t use my vice, it cannt crack.” Hwever, I culdn’t g withut talking frever. I needed a new slutin.
I began clearing my thrat befre speaking, which actually seemed t help. Limiting hw much I spke and clearing my vice made me much less stressful. This was great but there was a larger prblem. I was much mre scared abut having a vice crack during class. My class had many new kids I’d never spken with. I didn’t want their first impressins f me t be based n a vice crack.
Unfrtunately, ne day my cncern came true. It was abut tw mnths after the beginning f the term. On the day it happened everything was the same as always until I gt int the classrm. I nticed that we had a substitute teacher (代课老师) and immediately started thinking abut hw he wuld take attendance. My permanent teacher never had t, since he already knew each student, I panicked. S many thughts rushed thrugh my mind that I culdn’t think straight. I calmed myself dwn by telling myself that I nly had t say ne wrd “Here”. “Easy enugh, right?” I thught s until my name was called. I did my rutine — cleared my thrat, tk a breath, and said, “Here.” The nly prblem was that while saying this, I had the wrst vice crack in the histry f vice cracks.

Then the bx was mved farther frm the tls, meaning the birds had t chse the right tls and then carry them ver. When deciding which tls t bring, the cckats planned ahead. If facing a bx with a film, they figured ut hw t carry the tls tgether and wuld cme prepared with bth If withut, they tended t bring the fishing ple.(根据观察，十只凤头鹦鹉中有六只找到了正确的解决方案。当给他们一个没有薄膜的简单盒子时，他们可能只会拿起电线杆。然后箱子被移到离工具更远的地方，这意味着鸟儿必须选择合适的工具，然后把它们带过去。在决定带什么工具时，凤头鹦鹉会提前计划。如果面对一个装有薄膜的盒子，他们会想出如何把工具一起携带，并准备好两种工具。如果没有，他们往往会带上鱼竿)”可知，考虑使用工具是凤头鹦鹉获得奖励的最后一步。故选A。
10．答案：D
解析：词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“The study shws that cckats can use and transprt tl sets flexibly fr immediate future use, and thus their tl use is mre than the sum f its parts.(研究表明，凤头鹦鹉可以灵活地使用和运输工具以备将来使用，因此它们的工具使用超过其部分的总和)”以及划线词上文““Bird brain,” she said, “shuld actually be a”可知，研究表明鸟类也可以使用工具，也很聪明，所以“鸟脑”应该作为一种赞美。故划线词意思是“赞美”。故选D。
11．答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“Cckats (凤头鹦鹉) are nly the third animal besides humans and chimpanzees, knwn t pick tls flexibly based n the tasks they expect t face accrding t a study recently published in Current Bilgy.(根据最近发表在《当代生物学》上的一项研究，凤头鹦鹉是除了人类和黑猩猩之外的第三种动物，它们可以根据自己预期面临的任务灵活地选择工具)”结合文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及研究的发现和意义。可知，B选项“凤头鹦鹉懂得灵活使用工具”最符合文章标题。故选B。

解析：考查名词。句意：他面临着是否回国的两难境地。根据汉语提示可知，dilemma“进退两难的局面”，可数名词，此处表示特指，应用单数形式，在句中作介词with的宾语，故填dilemma。
35．答案：retirement

37．答案：unbelievably/incredibly

39．答案：it
解析：考查代词。句意：网上购物网站和社交媒体应用程序让公众更容易为亲人购买更多礼物。根据谓语动词have made可知此处要用宾语，真正宾语是t spend mre n gifts fr their lved nes，可知此处要用代词it，作形式宾语。故填it。
40．答案：energetic
解析：考查形容词。句意：多年的定期锻炼使他看起来健壮而精力充沛。分析可知，空处应填形容词和上文athletic并列作表语，故形容词energetic“精力充沛的”符合题意。故填energetic。
41．答案：Equipped
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：一无所有的他跳进汹涌的水流中去救溺水的孩子。分析句子，句中plunged为谓语动词，设空处使用非谓语动词。此处he与equip之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词作状语。同时该空置于句首，开头单词首字母大写。故填Equipped。
42．答案：In additin
解析：考查固定搭配。句意：我们提供兼职日语课程。此外，学生还可以选修计算机课程。根据英文，空处表示“此外”，应用in additin，相当于besides。故填In additin。
43．答案：t her satisfactin
解析：考查固定搭配。句意：令她非常满意的是，她终于得到了一直努力争取的晋升。根据中文提示可知，表示“让她非常满意的是”应用t her satisfactin，为介词短语，在本句中作状语。故填t her satisfactin。
44．答案：a variety f
解析：考查固定短语。句意：博物馆展出了不同历史时期的各种艺术品。此处varius可用短语a variety f替换，表示“各种各样的”。故填a variety f。
45．答案：sighed with relief
解析：考查动词时态和介词短语。句意：我松了口气，同意在路那头的便利店见她。分析句子，设空处使用动词作谓语，根据后文的agreed可知，句子表述过去事实，故使用一般过去时。根据汉语提示，表示“松了口气”用sigh with relief。sigh意为“叹息，叹气”；relief意为“宽慰”。故填sighed with relief。
46．答案：in spite f
解析：考查介词短语。句意：英语成为商业的官方语言，尽管人口主要是中国人。根据题干要求进行同义句改写，原句中的despite为介词，意为“尽管”，其同义词短语为in spite f。故填in spite f。
47．答案：f great significance
解析：考查介词短语。句意：这场胜利对我们学校的足球队来说意义重大。根据题干要求，进行同义句改写，原句中is very significant表示“非常重要”，可以转换为be+f+great+抽象名词的结构，此处significant的名词为significance。故填f great significance。
48．答案：majr in
解析：考查固定短语。句意：由于对建筑设计和施工感兴趣，他决定在大学主修土木工程。根据汉语提示可知，表示“主修”可用固定短语majr in，再根据空格前的t可知应该用动词原形。故填majr in。
49．答案：With the children talking and laughing beside me, I fund it difficult t cncentrate n my wrk.
解析：考查with复合结构、固定句型和时态。句子陈述过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时；根据题干要求，可将“有孩子们在旁边说说笑笑”处理为with复合结构，宾语“孩子们”表达为the children，“说说笑笑”表达为talk and laugh，和宾语children是主动关系，应用现在分词作宾补，状语“在我旁边”表达为beside me；“我发现我难以专心工作”为句子主干，“发现做某事是……的”用固定句型find it+adj.+ t d，宾补“困难的”用形容词difficult表达，宾语“专注于”用不定式t cncentrate n表达，宾语“我的工作”用名词短语my wrk表达。综上，故翻译为With the children talking and laughing beside me, I fund it difficult t cncentrate n my wrk.
