【解析】

【12题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：事实上，这个世界在很多人的心目中并不是很清楚。分析句子可知，空格处引导句主语从句，从句缺少主语，且指物，所以用连接词what。故填what。
【13题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：毕竟，这是一项需要使用铅笔和良好记忆力的任务。空格处引导定语从句，，先行词为task，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which或that引导。故填that/which。

17. t meet
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了位于意大利北部的博洛尼亚大学的一些情况，如建立时间、校园特色等。
【15题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它成立于10世纪，是欧洲最古老的大学。分析句子结构可知fund在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语it构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Funded。
【16题详解】
考查副词。句意：另一方面，北美的大学都是相对较新的，学生们通常被更现代化的建筑所包围。修饰形容词new应用副词relatively，作状语。故填relatively。
【17题详解】

19. will respnd
20. in
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了工作时求职者的各种心理测试。
【18题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：所谓的心理测试越来越受欢迎。设空处为从句谓语动词，根据文章时态用一般现在时。主语they与call之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态。故填are called。
19题详解】

And then I gt a lucky bamb plant in a pt frm my friend Mitch. I tld Hannah I wanted t care fr the plant myself.
As a physician, I was used t prviding care. Since my diagnsis, I had t rely n help frm ther peple, leaving me feeling aimless and upset. Watering the plant taught me I culd still be a caregiver.
Over the next few mnths I recvered frm surgery and cmpleted the first rund f treatment. Bth the bamb and I were thriving (繁荣). Then, mysteriusly, it began t shw signs f stress. N matter what I did, the leaves kept drpping t the flr, making me discuraged and uneasy.
“I can’t even care fr simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!”
Hannah reminded me that we’d seen huseplants die befre. She asked me why I was getting s wrked up abut this particular ne.
“If my lucky bamb dies,” I cried ut, “I might die t!”
Identifying with the plant had ffered me cmfrt. Nw that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.
Suddenly, ne day, I realized I had wrngly cnnected my care fr the plant—smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl — with my wn survival — smething ver which I had n cntrl. When my cancer returned, it wuld nt be because f any failure n my part — nt because I ate sugar ccasinally and certainly nt because I failed t keep this plant alive.

【答案】34. C 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者患癌之后养了一盆竹子，护理这盆竹子让作者慢慢找到了自己的意义，但由于作者将竹子与自己的生存联系在一起，竹子的不良反应让作者非常气馁不安，后来作者意识到了这一点，坦然接受了自己患癌这件无法控制的事情，也把这棵濒死的植物救了回来。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My wife Hannah and I usually dn’t keep huseplants.(我和妻子Hannah通常不养室内植物。)”，“After my diagnsis (诊断) with a brain cancer, I lved t have smething green and alive arund us.(在我被诊断出患有脑癌后，我喜欢在我们周围有一些绿色和有生命的东西。)”可知，作者被确诊患有脑癌后，他开始喜欢养室内植物了。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“‘If my lucky bamb dies,’ I cried ut, ‘I might die t!’(‘如果我的幸运竹子死了，’我喊道，‘我可能也会死！’)”，第七段“Identifying with the plant had ffered me cmfrt. Nw that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.(认同这株植物给了我安慰。现在这株植物正在挣扎，我感到越来越害怕。)”和第八段中的“Suddenly, ne day, I realized I had wrngly cnnected my care fr the plant — smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl — with my wn survival — smething ver which I had n cntrl.(突然，有一天，我意识到我错误地将我对植物的照顾——我至少可以控制的事情——与我自己的生存——我无法控制的事情联系在一起。)”可知，作者感觉竹子死了的话自己也会死，所以看到这棵竹子在垂死挣扎，自己也非常害怕，后来他才意识到自己将照顾竹子和自己的生存联系在一起，前者是可以控制的事情，而后者是不可控制的事情。由此可推测出，作者内心焦虑是因为他将自己的生存与竹子的命运联系在一起。故选D。

The mment the grund stps shaking after an earthquake, sme peple may wnder whether their pets — r wild animals fr that matter — knew the disaster was cming. Heik With, a seismlgist (地震学家) at the German Research Centre fr Gesciences (GMZ), nted that the public ften cntacts the GMZ after strng earthquakes, and that peple cmmnly ask “whether we can predict earthquakes r nt, because there are s many reprts n the Internet that an animal culd d it.”
Accrding t a new analysis f several ther published studies (called a meta-analysis), it’s hard t say. With and his clleagues evaluated mre than 700 published reprts f unusual behavir amng 130 species, including insects, birds, fish and mammals (mstly cats, dgs and cattle) frm 160 earthquakes. The recrds included all kinds f behavirs, including a tiger that reprtedly gt depressed befre an earthquake.
The researchers fund that 90 percent f all reprted cases happened within 62 miles (100 kilmeters) f the epicenter (震中)and within 60 days f an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where freshcks (前震) had happened in the regin. “The space-time pattern f animal precursrs (前兆) and freshcks is strikingly similar,” With said. “Frm this, we cncluded that the abnrmal animal behavir might simply be related t freshcks.” Very likely, nt every abnrmal animal behavir is related t an upcming earthquake. Instead, it’s likely that these animals are reacting t freshcks rather than predicting the earthquake itself.
“Despite the vast number f empirical research, gd infrmatin was little and scientific evidence is lacking. A majr surprise fr us was that the large majrity f the published claims were built n pr bservatinal data meaning mst peple did nt prperly bserve the animals befre, during and after the earthquake, which did nt stand as statistical scientific prf,” With said. “S, given that there’s n evidence yet shwing that animals can predict quakes, peple shuld call these claims int questin.”
T better study whether animals can predict earthquakes, With and his clleagues suggested that researchers ask a number f yes-r-n questins in any upcming experiments, including “Is the experimental setup and mnitring prcedure clearly described and reprducible?” and “Is it prven that the animal behavir is really unusual?”
Meanwhile, humans are wrking n technlgies that can detect earthquakes secnds befre they hit. Fr instance, a smartphne applicatin called Quake Alert helped warn peple in Ls Angeles that an earthquake was cming abut half a minute befre it struck n April 5, 2018. Hpefully, we will have reliable devices t tell peple that the earthquake is cming.
37. Hw did With cnduct the study?
A. By analyzing previus studies.B. By cllecting data in earthquakes.
C. By bserving animal behavir.D. By examining scientific evidence.
38. What is the finding f With’s study?
A. Animals are likely t predict the earthquakes.
B Animals tend t give respnses t freshcks.
C. Animals in ne regin act similarly in quakes.
D. Animals clse t the epicenter make predictins.
39. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The public questins the credibility f the reprts frm GMZ.
B. The frmer researchers used a variety f data cllectin methds.
C. Research data shuld be cllected thrugh questins rather than bservatin.
D. Future relevant studies require prf f the reliability befre being cnducted.
40. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Hw animals behave in earthquakes.
B. Whether animals can predict earthquakes.
C. What is the link between animals and earthquakes.
D. Why peple study animal behavir in earthquakes.
【答案】37. A 38. B 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍尽管每次地震过后，都会有动物异常行为的报道，但是动物能够预测地震这个结论还是缺乏科学依据的。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With and his clleagues evaluated mre than 700 published reprts f unusual behavir amng 130 species, including insects, birds, fish and mammals (mstly cats, dgs and cattle) frm 160 earthquakes. The recrds included all kinds f behavirs, including a tiger that reprtedly gt depressed befre an earthquake.(With和他的同事们评估了130个物种中超过700个已发表的异常行为报告，包括160次地震中的昆虫、鸟类、鱼类和哺乳动物（主要是猫、狗和牛）。这些记录包括各种各样的行为，包括一只老虎，据说它在地震前变得抑郁。)”可推断，他是通过分析之前的报告来进行自己的研究的。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers fund that 90 percent f all reprted cases happened within 62 miles (100 kilmeters) f the epicenter(震中)and within 60 days f an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where freshcks(前震) had happened in the regin. “The space-time pattern f animal precursrs(前兆) and freshcks is strikingly similar,” With said. “Frm this, we cncluded that the abnrmal animal behavir might simply be related t freshcks.”(研究人员发现，90%的报告病例发生在震中62英里（100公里）以内以及地震发生后60天内。然后，他们检查了该地区发生前震的时间和地点。“动物的前体和前震的时空模式惊人地相似，”沃斯说。“由此，我们得出结论，动物的异常行为可能只是与前震有关。”)”可知，研究发现，动物对前震有反应。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A majr surprise fr us was that the large majrity f the published claims were built n pr bservatinal data meaning mst peple did nt prperly bserve the animals befre, during and after the earthquake, which did nt stand as statistical scientific prf(令我们感到惊讶的是，大部分发表的说法都是建立在糟糕的观察数据基础上的，这意味着大多数人在地震前、地震中和地震后都没有正确地观察这些动物，这无法作为统计科学证据)”以及倒数第二段“T better study whether animals can predict earthquakes, With and his clleagues suggested that researchers ask a number f yes-r-n questins in any upcming experiments, including “Is the experimental setup and mnitring prcedure clearly described and reprducible?” and “Is it prven that the animal behavir is really unusual?”(为了更好地研究动物是否能预测地震，With和他的同事建议研究人员在即将进行的任何实验中问一些是或否的问题，包括“实验设置和监测程序是否被清楚地描述和可重现？”以及“是否能证明这种动物的行为真的不寻常？”)”可知，未来关于动物是否能够预测地震的研究需要确凿的证据。故选D。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The mment the grund stps shaking after an earthquake, sme peple may wnder whether their pets——r wild animals fr that matter——knew the disaster was cming. Heik With, a seismlgist(地震学家) at the German Research Centre fr Gesciences(GMZ), nted that the public ften cntacts the GMZ after strng earthquakes, and that peple cmmnly ask “whether we can predict earthquakes r nt, because there are s many reprts n the Internet that an animal culd d it.”(地震发生后，当地面停止晃动的那一刻，一些人可能会想，他们的宠物——或者野生动物——是否知道灾难即将来临。德国地球科学研究中心的地震学家Heik With指出，在强烈的地震发生后，公众经常联系GMZ，人们通常会问“我们是否能预测地震，因为互联网上有很多关于动物可以预测地震的报告。”)”以及最后一段“Hpefully, we will have reliable devices t tell peple that the earthquake is cming. (希望我们能有可靠的设备告诉人们地震就要来了。)”及全文可知，文章主要讨论的就是动物是否有预测地震的能力。故选B。

The artificial-intelligence chatbt ChatGPT has shaken educatrs since its Nvember release. New Yrk City public schls have banned it frm their netwrks and schl devices. There is, perhaps surprisingly, ne subject area that desn’t seem threatened, It turns ut ChatGPT is quite bad at maths.
“I’m nt hearing maths instructrs express cncern abut ChatGPT,” said Paul vn Hippel, a prfessr at the University f Texas wh studies data science and statistics. “I’m nt sure it’s useful fr maths at all, which feels strange because maths was the first-use case fr the artificial-intelligence devices.”
ChatGPT’s struggle with maths is inherent in this type f AI, knwn as a large language mdel. It scans a large amunt f text frm acrss the web and develps a mdel that might be extremely effective fr writing grammatically crrect respnses t essay requirement, but nt fr slving a maths prblem.
In an email, I asked Debarghya Das, a search-engine engineer, why ChatGPT gets sme simple questins right but thers cmpletely wrng. “Maybe the right analgy (类比) is if yu ask a rm f peple, wh have n idea what maths is but have read many hierglyphics (象形文字), ‘What cmes after 2+2,’ they might say, ‘Usually, we see a 4,’ That’s what ChatGPT is ding.” But, he adds, “Maths isn’t just a series f hierglyphics. It’s the prcess f calculating.”
It isn’t great fr pretending yu knw it thrugh a maths class because yu nly recgnize the mistakes if yu knw the maths. Anther reasn that maths instructrs are less anxius abut this innvatin is that they have been here befre. The field was upended fr the first time decades ag with the general availability f cmputers and calculatrs.
“Maths has had the biggest revlutin based n machinery f any mainstream subject,” said Cnrad Wlfram, the strategic directr f Wlfram Research. “In the real wrld, since cmputers came alng, have maths, science and engineering gtten cnceptually simpler? N, cmpletely the ppsite. We’re asking harder and harder questins, ging up a level.”
Eventually, AI will prbably get t the pint where its maths answers are nt nly cnfident but crrect. A pure large language mdel might nt be up fr the jb, but the technlgy will imprve. In general, hwever, AI, like cmputers, will likely ultimately be mst useful fr thse wh already knw a field well. They knw the questins t ask, hw t identify the shrtcmings and what t d with the answer. A tl, in ther wrds, is fr thse wh knw the mst maths, nt the least.
41. What des the underlined wrd “inherent” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Stable.B. Practical.C. Limited.D. Natural.
42. What can we knw frm Debarghya’s reply?
A. Calculating requires sme knwledge f hierglyphics.
B. ChatGPT is gd at slving mathematical questins by analgy.
C. Reading hierglyphics prevents ChatGPT slving maths questins.
D. ChatGPT’s respnse is based n language mdels instead f calculatins.
43. What can be inferred frm maths instructrs’ calmness abut ChatGPT?
A. ChatGPT is useful t identify maths mistakes.
B. Technical revlutin made maths easier t understand.
C. New technlgy will end up pushing the bundaries f maths.
D. ChatGPT has been banned frm netwrks and schl devices.
44. As fr AI, which wuld the authr prbably agree with?
A. It will play the largest rle fr prfessinals in a field.
B. It will becme cnfident t slve all the maths prblems.
C. It will turn the maths field ver again just like cmputers.
D. It will take the jbs frm humans as the technlgy imprves.
【答案】41. D 42. D 43. C 44. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人工智能机器人ChatGPT震撼了教育界，但数学领域却没有受到威胁，并解释了原因。
【41题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段首句“ChatGPT’s struggle with maths is inherent in this type f AI, knwn as a large language mdel. (这种作为大型语言模型而著名的人工智能，ChatGPT在数学上的挣扎是 。)”和“but nt fr slving a maths prblem(但不能解决数学问题)”可知，ChatGPT是属于大型语言模型的人工智能，是语言类的，不能解决数学问题，所以它在数学上的挣扎是自然的，与生俱来的。故划线词应为“自然的，与生俱来的”词义。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““Maybe the right analgy (类比) is if yu ask a rm f peple, wh have n idea what maths is but have read many hierglyphics (象形文字), ‘What cmes after 2+2,’ they might say, ‘Usually, we see a 4,’ That’s what ChatGPT is ding.” But, he adds, “Maths isn’t just a series f hierglyphics. It’s the prcess f calculating.” (“也许正确的类比是，如果你问一屋子不知道数学是什么，但读过很多象形文字的人，‘2+2等于什么’，他们可能会说，‘通常我们看到的是4’，这就是ChatGPT正在做的事情。”但是，他补充道：“数学不仅仅是一系列象形文字。这是计算的过程。”)”可知，工程师Debarghya将ChatGPT的原理通过将其类比成不懂数学、懂象形文字的人来解数学题进行说明，可得出ChatGPT的回应是基于语言模式而不是计算过程。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“Anther reasn that maths instructrs are less anxius abut this innvatin is that they have been here befre. The field was upended fr the first time decades ag with the general availability f cmputers and calculatrs. (数学教师对这种创新不那么焦虑的另一个原因是，他们以前也遇到过这种情况。几十年前，随着计算机和计算器的普及，这个领域第一次被颠覆了。)”和第六段最后三句“ “In the real wrld, since cmputers came alng, have maths, science and engineering gtten cnceptually simpler? N, cmpletely the ppsite. We’re asking harder and harder questins, ging up a level.” (“在现实世界中，自从计算机出现以来，数学、科学和工程在概念上变得更简单了吗?”不，完全相反。我们会问越来越难的问题，上了一个水平。”)”可知，数学老师对ChatGPT很镇静的原因是几十年前，随着计算机和计算器的普及，这个领域第一次被颠覆了，最终导致数学问题越来越难，数学边界也更上了一个水平，可得出新技术最终将推动数学的极限。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段中“In general, hwever, AI, like cmputers, will likely ultimately be mst useful fr thse wh already knw a field well. (然而，总的来说，像计算机一样，人工智能最终可能对那些已经非常了解一个领域的人最有用。)”可知，作者认为人工智能将在一个领域的专业人士中发挥最大的作用。故选A。

【答案】45. A 46. D 47. F 48. C 49. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是随着外卖服务的兴起和发展，给人们生活带来便利的同时也给人类带来了健康问题——肥胖。为此作者建议选择回归自己做饭，既能降低生活成本，又能保证身体健康。
【45题详解】
根据前文的“ In mst instances, digital fd rdering can be dne directly with a restaurant app r third party fd service. ”（在大多数情况下，数字订餐可以直接通过餐厅应用程序或第三方订餐服务完成。）可知，此处讲述的是数字订餐的给生活带来的便利和好处。A选项“Then peple can get access t lcal restaurants and menus mre easily.”（这样人们就可以更容易地获得当地的餐馆和菜单。）强调的就是通过应用程序或第三方订餐产生的方便化的结果，即人们可以更容易的获得当地的餐馆的菜单，直接点餐。故选A。
【46题详解】
根据后文的“Because the speedy delivery drivers, with desserts, milkshakes and burgers, can just arrive directly at ur dr. ”（因为快速送货的司机，带着甜点、奶昔和汉堡，可以直接送到我们家门口。）可知，快速的送货司机，不仅速度快，而且还能配送甜点、奶昔和汉堡等快餐食品。D选项“At first it was fun t be able t rder nt just fast fd, but even faster fd.”（一开始，不仅可以点快餐，还可以点更快的快餐食物，这很有趣。）中的faster fd对应下文的desserts, milkshakes and burgers。D选项呼应前文。“At first”与下文的“even better”呼应。故选D。
【47题详解】
根据下文的“The fd we are rdering cntains mre sugar, fat and salt than fd made at hme. And being able t eat frm the cmfrt f the sfa, r even smetimes frm under the blanket, means we aren't even burning calries when we g t pick the fd up. ”（我们点的食物比家里做的食物含有更多的糖、脂肪和盐。而且能够在舒适的沙发上吃东西，有时甚至在毯子下吃东西，意味着我们去拿食物的时候甚至不会燃烧卡路里。）可知，通过电子点餐即小程序点餐给我们带来便利的同时，却也让我们吃到了更多的含糖、脂肪和盐的食物，同时窝在沙发上吃东西，减少了我们的运动。F选项“These apps, n the ther hand, are encuraging vereating and physical inactivity.”（另一方面，这些应用程序正在鼓励暴饮暴食和缺乏运动。）说明了电子点餐的不利之处。下文对此句进行进一步地解释说明。故选F。
【48题详解】
根据前文的“The fd sizes are ften bigger t. ”（食物的尺寸通常也更大。）可知，食物的尺寸更大言外之意，就是人们要比正常情况下买的食物要更多。C选项“That means peple are cnsuming much mre than they nrmally wuld.”（这意味着人们的消费比正常情况下要多得多。）与此对应，符合语境。故选C。
【49题详解】
根据前文的“As a result, we need t be reminded f the imprtance f cking fr urselves.”（因此，我们需要提醒自己做饭的重要性。）可知，此处强调的是自己做饭的重要性，因此后文应该承接的是自己做饭的好处是什么。G选项“And with the cst-f-living crisis many families are facing, it’s certainly a cheaper ptin.”（随着许多家庭面临的生活成本危机，这当然是一个更便宜的选择。）强调的是随着生活成本不断升高，自己做饭还是一个更便宜的选择，节省开支。句中的it 指代的就是前文的cking fr urselves。故选G。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Cmputers, smartphnes, and audi players are an essential part f students’ everyday lives. That means that whenever students are ding hmewrk, they are ging t be faced with the prblem f using their devices fr purpses ther than learning. Instead f cncentrating n ne task, they are perfrming multiple tasks.
Accrding t the research by Larry Rsen, published in the jurnal Cmputers in Human Science, students spend up t 45% f their hmewrk time n varius tasks unrelated t their studies. Students ften get distracted by their phnes r use their laptps fr unauthrized (未经许可的) activities. Often, students think that they are able t multitask effectively, withut sacrificing their studies. Hwever, the research shws that it is true in nly 5% f all cases.
But why d teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel gd. As the research indicates, the entertainment gained frm secndary activities during studies makes learners feel better emtinally.
Watching TV r talking t yur friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight bredm while ding hmewrk r listening t a lecture they find bring. Anther reasn why students multitask is that they simply d nt see the negative impact it has n their cursewrk. Teenagers ften verrate their abilities. The seemingly tiny distractins, hwever, result in a cnstant need t switch fcus and srt ut infrmatin, injuring the brain by veruse and making the prcess inefficient.
Hwever, the effects f multitasking are nt entirely negative. The research cnducted by HKU indicates that peple wh rutinely multitask are able t use their senses in cnjunctin (结合) mre easily. Other research als shws that multitasking has a psitive effect n the ability t pass judgment and slve prblems quickly and efficiently.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了通常情况下多任务会导致学生分心，以及学生选择多任务的原因。
【50题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Accrding t the research by Larry Rsen, published in the jurnal Cmputers in Human Science, students spend up t 45% f their hmewrk time n varius tasks unrelated t their studies. Students ften get distracted by their phnes r use their laptps fr unauthrized (未经许可的) activities. Often, students think that they are able t multitask effectively, withut sacrificing their studies. Hwever, the research shws that it is true in nly 5% f all cases.(根据拉里·罗森发表在《计算机与人文科学》杂志上的研究，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。学生们经常被手机分散注意力，或者使用笔记本电脑进行未经授权的活动。通常，学生们认为他们能够在不牺牲学业的情况下有效地处理多项任务。然而，研究表明，只有5%例子是这样的)”可知， Larry Rsen的研究告诉我们，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的任务上，却几乎不知道这是以牺牲自己的学业为代价。故答案为：Students spend up t 45% f their hmewrk time n varius tasks unrelated t their studies, with few knwing that this is at the expense f their wn studies.
【51题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第三段的“But why d teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel gd. (但为什么青少年要同时处理多项任务呢？答案很简单：多任务处理让我们感觉良好)”和第四段的“ Anther reasn why students multitask is that they simply d nt see the negative impact it has n their cursewrk. (学生多任务处理的另一个原因是，他们根本看不到这对他们的课程有负面影响)”可知，青少年选择多任务是因为多任务处理让他们感觉良好，并且他们意识不到这对他们的课程有负面影响。故答案为：Because multitasking makes them feel gd. Besides, they are nt aware f the negative impact it has n their cursewrk.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的“The seemingly tiny distractins, hwever, result in a cnstant need t switch fcus and srt ut infrmatin, injuring the brain by veruse and making the prcess inefficient.(然而，看似微小的分心会导致人们不断需要转换注意力和整理信息，过度使用会伤害大脑，使这一过程效率低下)”和倒数第三段的“Hwever, the effects f multitasking are nt entirely negative.(然而，多任务处理的影响并不完全是负面的)”可知，虽然过度使用会伤害大脑以及让学习过程效率低下，但多任务处理的影响并非全是负面的。因此错误的部分是has n psitive effects n students.。根据本文，多任务处理的影响并不完全是负面的。故答案为：Multitasking, which injures the brain by veruse and makes the learning prcess inefficient, has n psitive effects n students. Accrding t this passage, the effects f multitasking are nt entirely negative.
【53题详解】
开放性问题。答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。When ding hmewrk, I will nt chse multitasking. Because multitasking will make it difficult fr me t cncentrate n what I am ding, which prevents me frm efficiently cmpleting my hmewrk within the time limit.

【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了当你让别人画一张世界地图时所发生的情况。

【12题详解】
考查名词性从句。句意：事实上，这个世界在很多人的心目中并不是很清楚。分析句子可知，空格处引导句主语从句，从句缺少主语，且指物，所以用连接词what。故填what。
【13题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：毕竟，这是一项需要使用铅笔和良好记忆力的任务。空格处引导定语从句，，先行词为task，在定语从句中作主语，所以用关系代词which或that引导。故填that/which。

【15题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：它成立于10世纪，是欧洲最古老的大学。分析句子结构可知fund在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语it构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Funded。
【16题详解】
考查副词。句意：另一方面，北美的大学都是相对较新的，学生们通常被更现代化的建筑所包围。修饰形容词new应用副词relatively，作状语。故填relatively。
【17题详解】

【18题详解】

19题详解】

My wife Hannah and I usually dn’t keep huseplants. Anything in pts gets either verwatered r underwatered. After my diagnsis (诊断) with a brain cancer, I lved t have smething green and alive arund us. And then I gt a lucky bamb plant in a pt frm my friend Mitch. I tld Hannah I wanted t care fr the plant myself.
As a physician, I was used t prviding care. Since my diagnsis, I had t rely n help frm ther peple, leaving me feeling aimless and upset. Watering the plant taught me I culd still be a caregiver.
Over the next few mnths I recvered frm surgery and cmpleted the first rund f treatment. Bth the bamb and I were thriving (繁荣). Then, mysteriusly, it began t shw signs f stress. N matter what I did, the leaves kept drpping t the flr, making me discuraged and uneasy.
“I can’t even care fr simple plant!” I yelled. “I’m failing!”
Hannah reminded me that we’d seen huseplants die befre. She asked me why I was getting s wrked up abut this particular ne.
“If my lucky bamb dies,” I cried ut, “I might die t!”
Identifying with the plant had ffered me cmfrt. Nw that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.
Suddenly, ne day, I realized I had wrngly cnnected my care fr the plant—smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl — with my wn survival — smething ver which I had n cntrl. When my cancer returned, it wuld nt be because f any failure n my part — nt because I ate sugar ccasinally and certainly nt because I failed t keep this plant alive.
As my anxiety lessened, I learned frm nline tips t care fr my dying plant. I mved the bamb t a larger pt, separating its rts t give it rm t grw. When it was back in the sunny windw, we bth began t thrive again.

【答案】34. C 35. D 36. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者患癌之后养了一盆竹子，护理这盆竹子让作者慢慢找到了自己的意义，但由于作者将竹子与自己的生存联系在一起，竹子的不良反应让作者非常气馁不安，后来作者意识到了这一点，坦然接受了自己患癌这件无法控制的事情，也把这棵濒死的植物救了回来。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My wife Hannah and I usually dn’t keep huseplants.(我和妻子Hannah通常不养室内植物。)”，“After my diagnsis (诊断) with a brain cancer, I lved t have smething green and alive arund us.(在我被诊断出患有脑癌后，我喜欢在我们周围有一些绿色和有生命的东西。)”可知，作者被确诊患有脑癌后，他开始喜欢养室内植物了。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“‘If my lucky bamb dies,’ I cried ut, ‘I might die t!’(‘如果我的幸运竹子死了，’我喊道，‘我可能也会死！’)”，第七段“Identifying with the plant had ffered me cmfrt. Nw that the plant was struggling, I felt increasingly fearful.(认同这株植物给了我安慰。现在这株植物正在挣扎，我感到越来越害怕。)”和第八段中的“Suddenly, ne day, I realized I had wrngly cnnected my care fr the plant — smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl — with my wn survival — smething ver which I had n cntrl.(突然，有一天，我意识到我错误地将我对植物的照顾——我至少可以控制的事情——与我自己的生存——我无法控制的事情联系在一起。)”可知，作者感觉竹子死了的话自己也会死，所以看到这棵竹子在垂死挣扎，自己也非常害怕，后来他才意识到自己将照顾竹子和自己的生存联系在一起，前者是可以控制的事情，而后者是不可控制的事情。由此可推测出，作者内心焦虑是因为他将自己的生存与竹子的命运联系在一起。故选D。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据第八段中的“Suddenly, ne day, I realized I had wrngly cnnected my care fr the plant — smething ver which I had at least sme cntrl — with my wn survival — smething ver which I had n cntrl.(突然，有一天，我意识到我错误地将我对植物的照顾——我至少可以控制的事情——与我自己的生存——我无法控制的事情联系在一起。)”并结合全文内容可知，作者患癌之后养了一盆竹子，对它悉心照料，不知不觉中将竹子与自己的存活联系在了一起，竹子的不良反应让作者非常焦虑，后来作者意识到了这一点，明白了自己癌症复发并不是自己的问题，也不是竹子造成的影响。再根据最后一段中的“As my anxiety lessened, I learned frm nline tips t care fr my dying plant.(随着我的焦虑减轻，我从网上学到了照顾濒临死亡的植物的技巧。)”可知，作者明白了这些道理后焦虑减轻了。由此可推测出，作者在思想上由消极到积极的转变让作者减轻了焦虑，积极的思想是治疗焦虑的良药。故选B。

Heik With, a seismlgist (地震学家) at the German Research Centre fr Gesciences (GMZ), nted that the public ften cntacts the GMZ after strng earthquakes, and that peple cmmnly ask “whether we can predict earthquakes r nt, because there are s many reprts n the Internet that an animal culd d it.”
Accrding t a new analysis f several ther published studies (called a meta-analysis), it’s hard t say. With and his clleagues evaluated mre than 700 published reprts f unusual behavir amng 130 species, including insects, birds, fish and mammals (mstly cats, dgs and cattle) frm 160 earthquakes. The recrds included all kinds f behavirs, including a tiger that reprtedly gt depressed befre an earthquake.
The researchers fund that 90 percent f all reprted cases happened within 62 miles (100 kilmeters) f the epicenter (震中)and within 60 days f an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where freshcks (前震) had happened in the regin. “The space-time pattern f animal precursrs (前兆) and freshcks is strikingly similar,” With said. “Frm this, we cncluded that the abnrmal animal behavir might simply be related t freshcks.” Very likely, nt every abnrmal animal behavir is related t an upcming earthquake. Instead, it’s likely that these animals are reacting t freshcks rather than predicting the earthquake itself.
“Despite the vast number f empirical research, gd infrmatin was little and scientific evidence is lacking. A majr surprise fr us was that the large majrity f the published claims were built n pr bservatinal data meaning mst peple did nt prperly bserve the animals befre, during and after the earthquake, which did nt stand as statistical scientific prf,” With said. “S, given that there’s n evidence yet shwing that animals can predict quakes, peple shuld call these claims int questin.”
T better study whether animals can predict earthquakes, With and his clleagues suggested that researchers ask a number f yes-r-n questins in any upcming experiments, including “Is the experimental setup and mnitring prcedure clearly described and reprducible?” and “Is it prven that the animal behavir is really unusual?”
Meanwhile, humans are wrking n technlgies that can detect earthquakes secnds befre they hit. Fr instance, a smartphne applicatin called Quake Alert helped warn peple in Ls Angeles that an earthquake was cming abut half a minute befre it struck n April 5, 2018. Hpefully, we will have reliable devices t tell peple that the earthquake is cming.
37. Hw did With cnduct the study?
A. By analyzing previus studies.B. By cllecting data in earthquakes.
C. By bserving animal behavir.D. By examining scientific evidence.
38. What is the finding f With’s study?
A. Animals are likely t predict the earthquakes.
B Animals tend t give respnses t freshcks.
C. Animals in ne regin act similarly in quakes.
D. Animals clse t the epicenter make predictins.
39. What can we infer frm the passage?
A. The public questins the credibility f the reprts frm GMZ.
B. The frmer researchers used a variety f data cllectin methds.
C. Research data shuld be cllected thrugh questins rather than bservatin.
D. Future relevant studies require prf f the reliability befre being cnducted.
40. What is the passage mainly abut?
A. Hw animals behave in earthquakes.
B. Whether animals can predict earthquakes.
C. What is the link between animals and earthquakes.
D. Why peple study animal behavir in earthquakes.
【答案】37. A 38. B 39. D 40. B

【导语】本文是为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍尽管每次地震过后，都会有动物异常行为的报道，但是动物能够预测地震这个结论还是缺乏科学依据的。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With and his clleagues evaluated mre than 700 published reprts f unusual behavir amng 130 species, including insects, birds, fish and mammals (mstly cats, dgs and cattle) frm 160 earthquakes. The recrds included all kinds f behavirs, including a tiger that reprtedly gt depressed befre an earthquake.(With和他的同事们评估了130个物种中超过700个已发表的异常行为报告，包括160次地震中的昆虫、鸟类、鱼类和哺乳动物（主要是猫、狗和牛）。这些记录包括各种各样的行为，包括一只老虎，据说它在地震前变得抑郁。)”可推断，他是通过分析之前的报告来进行自己的研究的。故选A。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers fund that 90 percent f all reprted cases happened within 62 miles (100 kilmeters) f the epicenter(震中)and within 60 days f an earthquake. Then, they examined when and where freshcks(前震) had happened in the regin. “The space-time pattern f animal precursrs(前兆) and freshcks is strikingly similar,” With said. “Frm this, we cncluded that the abnrmal animal behavir might simply be related t freshcks.”(研究人员发现，90%的报告病例发生在震中62英里（100公里）以内以及地震发生后60天内。然后，他们检查了该地区发生前震的时间和地点。“动物的前体和前震的时空模式惊人地相似，”沃斯说。“由此，我们得出结论，动物的异常行为可能只是与前震有关。”)”可知，研究发现，动物对前震有反应。故选B。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“A majr surprise fr us was that the large majrity f the published claims were built n pr bservatinal data meaning mst peple did nt prperly bserve the animals befre, during and after the earthquake, which did nt stand as statistical scientific prf(令我们感到惊讶的是，大部分发表的说法都是建立在糟糕的观察数据基础上的，这意味着大多数人在地震前、地震中和地震后都没有正确地观察这些动物，这无法作为统计科学证据)”以及倒数第二段“T better study whether animals can predict earthquakes, With and his clleagues suggested that researchers ask a number f yes-r-n questins in any upcming experiments, including “Is the experimental setup and mnitring prcedure clearly described and reprducible?” and “Is it prven that the animal behavir is really unusual?”(为了更好地研究动物是否能预测地震，With和他的同事建议研究人员在即将进行的任何实验中问一些是或否的问题，包括“实验设置和监测程序是否被清楚地描述和可重现？”以及“是否能证明这种动物的行为真的不寻常？”)”可知，未来关于动物是否能够预测地震的研究需要确凿的证据。故选D。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The mment the grund stps shaking after an earthquake, sme peple may wnder whether their pets——r wild animals fr that matter——knew the disaster was cming. Heik With, a seismlgist(地震学家) at the German Research Centre fr Gesciences(GMZ), nted that the public ften cntacts the GMZ after strng earthquakes, and that peple cmmnly ask “whether we can predict earthquakes r nt, because there are s many reprts n the Internet that an animal culd d it.”(地震发生后，当地面停止晃动的那一刻，一些人可能会想，他们的宠物——或者野生动物——是否知道灾难即将来临。德国地球科学研究中心的地震学家Heik With指出，在强烈的地震发生后，公众经常联系GMZ，人们通常会问“我们是否能预测地震，因为互联网上有很多关于动物可以预测地震的报告。”)”以及最后一段“Hpefully, we will have reliable devices t tell peple that the earthquake is cming. (希望我们能有可靠的设备告诉人们地震就要来了。)”及全文可知，文章主要讨论的就是动物是否有预测地震的能力。故选B。

The artificial-intelligence chatbt ChatGPT has shaken educatrs since its Nvember release. New Yrk City public schls have banned it frm their netwrks and schl devices. There is, perhaps surprisingly, ne subject area that desn’t seem threatened, It turns ut ChatGPT is quite bad at maths.
“I’m nt hearing maths instructrs express cncern abut ChatGPT,” said Paul vn Hippel, a prfessr at the University f Texas wh studies data science and statistics. “I’m nt sure it’s useful fr maths at all, which feels strange because maths was the first-use case fr the artificial-intelligence devices.”
ChatGPT’s struggle with maths is inherent in this type f AI, knwn as a large language mdel. It scans a large amunt f text frm acrss the web and develps a mdel that might be extremely effective fr writing grammatically crrect respnses t essay requirement, but nt fr slving a maths prblem.
In an email, I asked Debarghya Das, a search-engine engineer, why ChatGPT gets sme simple questins right but thers cmpletely wrng. “Maybe the right analgy (类比) is if yu ask a rm f peple, wh have n idea what maths is but have read many hierglyphics (象形文字), ‘What cmes after 2+2,’ they might say, ‘Usually, we see a 4,’ That’s what ChatGPT is ding.” But, he adds, “Maths isn’t just a series f hierglyphics. It’s the prcess f calculating.”
It isn’t great fr pretending yu knw it thrugh a maths class because yu nly recgnize the mistakes if yu knw the maths. Anther reasn that maths instructrs are less anxius abut this innvatin is that they have been here befre. The field was upended fr the first time decades ag with the general availability f cmputers and calculatrs.
“Maths has had the biggest revlutin based n machinery f any mainstream subject,” said Cnrad Wlfram, the strategic directr f Wlfram Research. “In the real wrld, since cmputers came alng, have maths, science and engineering gtten cnceptually simpler? N, cmpletely the ppsite. We’re asking harder and harder questins, ging up a level.”
Eventually, AI will prbably get t the pint where its maths answers are nt nly cnfident but crrect. A pure large language mdel might nt be up fr the jb, but the technlgy will imprve. In general, hwever, AI, like cmputers, will likely ultimately be mst useful fr thse wh already knw a field well. They knw the questins t ask, hw t identify the shrtcmings and what t d with the answer. A tl, in ther wrds, is fr thse wh knw the mst maths, nt the least.
41. What des the underlined wrd “inherent” in Paragraph 3 mst prbably mean?
A. Stable.B. Practical.C. Limited.D. Natural.
42. What can we knw frm Debarghya’s reply?
A. Calculating requires sme knwledge f hierglyphics.
B. ChatGPT is gd at slving mathematical questins by analgy.
C. Reading hierglyphics prevents ChatGPT slving maths questins.
D. ChatGPT’s respnse is based n language mdels instead f calculatins.
43. What can be inferred frm maths instructrs’ calmness abut ChatGPT?
A. ChatGPT is useful t identify maths mistakes.
B. Technical revlutin made maths easier t understand.
C. New technlgy will end up pushing the bundaries f maths.
D. ChatGPT has been banned frm netwrks and schl devices.
44. As fr AI, which wuld the authr prbably agree with?
A. It will play the largest rle fr prfessinals in a field.
B. It will becme cnfident t slve all the maths prblems.
C. It will turn the maths field ver again just like cmputers.
D. It will take the jbs frm humans as the technlgy imprves.
【答案】41. D 42. D 43. C 44. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人工智能机器人ChatGPT震撼了教育界，但数学领域却没有受到威胁，并解释了原因。
【41题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段首句“ChatGPT’s struggle with maths is inherent in this type f AI, knwn as a large language mdel. (这种作为大型语言模型而著名的人工智能，ChatGPT在数学上的挣扎是 。)”和“but nt fr slving a maths prblem(但不能解决数学问题)”可知，ChatGPT是属于大型语言模型的人工智能，是语言类的，不能解决数学问题，所以它在数学上的挣扎是自然的，与生俱来的。故划线词应为“自然的，与生俱来的”词义。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中““Maybe the right analgy (类比) is if yu ask a rm f peple, wh have n idea what maths is but have read many hierglyphics (象形文字), ‘What cmes after 2+2,’ they might say, ‘Usually, we see a 4,’ That’s what ChatGPT is ding.” But, he adds, “Maths isn’t just a series f hierglyphics. It’s the prcess f calculating.” (“也许正确的类比是，如果你问一屋子不知道数学是什么，但读过很多象形文字的人，‘2+2等于什么’，他们可能会说，‘通常我们看到的是4’，这就是ChatGPT正在做的事情。”但是，他补充道：“数学不仅仅是一系列象形文字。这是计算的过程。”)”可知，工程师Debarghya将ChatGPT的原理通过将其类比成不懂数学、懂象形文字的人来解数学题进行说明，可得出ChatGPT的回应是基于语言模式而不是计算过程。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段最后两句“Anther reasn that maths instructrs are less anxius abut this innvatin is that they have been here befre. The field was upended fr the first time decades ag with the general availability f cmputers and calculatrs. (数学教师对这种创新不那么焦虑的另一个原因是，他们以前也遇到过这种情况。几十年前，随着计算机和计算器的普及，这个领域第一次被颠覆了。)”和第六段最后三句“ “In the real wrld, since cmputers came alng, have maths, science and engineering gtten cnceptually simpler? N, cmpletely the ppsite. We’re asking harder and harder questins, ging up a level.” (“在现实世界中，自从计算机出现以来，数学、科学和工程在概念上变得更简单了吗?”不，完全相反。我们会问越来越难的问题，上了一个水平。”)”可知，数学老师对ChatGPT很镇静的原因是几十年前，随着计算机和计算器的普及，这个领域第一次被颠覆了，最终导致数学问题越来越难，数学边界也更上了一个水平，可得出新技术最终将推动数学的极限。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段中“In general, hwever, AI, like cmputers, will likely ultimately be mst useful fr thse wh already knw a field well. (然而，总的来说，像计算机一样，人工智能最终可能对那些已经非常了解一个领域的人最有用。)”可知，作者认为人工智能将在一个领域的专业人士中发挥最大的作用。故选A。

【答案】45. A 46. D 47. F 48. C 49. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是随着外卖服务的兴起和发展，给人们生活带来便利的同时也给人类带来了健康问题——肥胖。为此作者建议选择回归自己做饭，既能降低生活成本，又能保证身体健康。
【45题详解】
根据前文的“ In mst instances, digital fd rdering can be dne directly with a restaurant app r third party fd service. ”（在大多数情况下，数字订餐可以直接通过餐厅应用程序或第三方订餐服务完成。）可知，此处讲述的是数字订餐的给生活带来的便利和好处。A选项“Then peple can get access t lcal restaurants and menus mre easily.”（这样人们就可以更容易地获得当地的餐馆和菜单。）强调的就是通过应用程序或第三方订餐产生的方便化的结果，即人们可以更容易的获得当地的餐馆的菜单，直接点餐。故选A。
【46题详解】
根据后文的“Because the speedy delivery drivers, with desserts, milkshakes and burgers, can just arrive directly at ur dr. ”（因为快速送货的司机，带着甜点、奶昔和汉堡，可以直接送到我们家门口。）可知，快速的送货司机，不仅速度快，而且还能配送甜点、奶昔和汉堡等快餐食品。D选项“At first it was fun t be able t rder nt just fast fd, but even faster fd.”（一开始，不仅可以点快餐，还可以点更快的快餐食物，这很有趣。）中的faster fd对应下文的desserts, milkshakes and burgers。D选项呼应前文。“At first”与下文的“even better”呼应。故选D。
【47题详解】
根据下文的“The fd we are rdering cntains mre sugar, fat and salt than fd made at hme. And being able t eat frm the cmfrt f the sfa, r even smetimes frm under the blanket, means we aren't even burning calries when we g t pick the fd up. ”（我们点的食物比家里做的食物含有更多的糖、脂肪和盐。而且能够在舒适的沙发上吃东西，有时甚至在毯子下吃东西，意味着我们去拿食物的时候甚至不会燃烧卡路里。）可知，通过电子点餐即小程序点餐给我们带来便利的同时，却也让我们吃到了更多的含糖、脂肪和盐的食物，同时窝在沙发上吃东西，减少了我们的运动。F选项“These apps, n the ther hand, are encuraging vereating and physical inactivity.”（另一方面，这些应用程序正在鼓励暴饮暴食和缺乏运动。）说明了电子点餐的不利之处。下文对此句进行进一步地解释说明。故选F。
【48题详解】
根据前文的“The fd sizes are ften bigger t. ”（食物的尺寸通常也更大。）可知，食物的尺寸更大言外之意，就是人们要比正常情况下买的食物要更多。C选项“That means peple are cnsuming much mre than they nrmally wuld.”（这意味着人们的消费比正常情况下要多得多。）与此对应，符合语境。故选C。
【49题详解】
根据前文的“As a result, we need t be reminded f the imprtance f cking fr urselves.”（因此，我们需要提醒自己做饭的重要性。）可知，此处强调的是自己做饭的重要性，因此后文应该承接的是自己做饭的好处是什么。G选项“And with the cst-f-living crisis many families are facing, it’s certainly a cheaper ptin.”（随着许多家庭面临的生活成本危机，这当然是一个更便宜的选择。）强调的是随着生活成本不断升高，自己做饭还是一个更便宜的选择，节省开支。句中的it 指代的就是前文的cking fr urselves。故选G。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Cmputers, smartphnes, and audi players are an essential part f students’ everyday lives. That means that whenever students are ding hmewrk, they are ging t be faced with the prblem f using their devices fr purpses ther than learning. Instead f cncentrating n ne task, they are perfrming multiple tasks.
Accrding t the research by Larry Rsen, published in the jurnal Cmputers in Human Science, students spend up t 45% f their hmewrk time n varius tasks unrelated t their studies. Students ften get distracted by their phnes r use their laptps fr unauthrized (未经许可的) activities. Often, students think that they are able t multitask effectively, withut sacrificing their studies. Hwever, the research shws that it is true in nly 5% f all cases.
But why d teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel gd. As the research indicates, the entertainment gained frm secndary activities during studies makes learners feel better emtinally.
Watching TV r talking t yur friends by email is pleasant and helps students fight bredm while ding hmewrk r listening t a lecture they find bring. Anther reasn why students multitask is that they simply d nt see the negative impact it has n their cursewrk. Teenagers ften verrate their abilities. The seemingly tiny distractins, hwever, result in a cnstant need t switch fcus and srt ut infrmatin, injuring the brain by veruse and making the prcess inefficient.
Hwever, the effects f multitasking are nt entirely negative. The research cnducted by HKU indicates that peple wh rutinely multitask are able t use their senses in cnjunctin (结合) mre easily. Other research als shws that multitasking has a psitive effect n the ability t pass judgment and slve prblems quickly and efficiently.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了通常情况下多任务会导致学生分心，以及学生选择多任务的原因。
【50题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“Accrding t the research by Larry Rsen, published in the jurnal Cmputers in Human Science, students spend up t 45% f their hmewrk time n varius tasks unrelated t their studies. Students ften get distracted by their phnes r use their laptps fr unauthrized (未经许可的) activities. Often, students think that they are able t multitask effectively, withut sacrificing their studies. Hwever, the research shws that it is true in nly 5% f all cases.(根据拉里·罗森发表在《计算机与人文科学》杂志上的研究，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的各种任务上。学生们经常被手机分散注意力，或者使用笔记本电脑进行未经授权的活动。通常，学生们认为他们能够在不牺牲学业的情况下有效地处理多项任务。然而，研究表明，只有5%例子是这样的)”可知， Larry Rsen的研究告诉我们，学生将高达45%的家庭作业时间花在与学习无关的任务上，却几乎不知道这是以牺牲自己的学业为代价。故答案为：Students spend up t 45% f their hmewrk time n varius tasks unrelated t their studies, with few knwing that this is at the expense f their wn studies.
【51题详解】
考查细节理解题。根据第三段的“But why d teenagers multitask? The answer is simple: multitasking makes us feel gd. (但为什么青少年要同时处理多项任务呢？答案很简单：多任务处理让我们感觉良好)”和第四段的“ Anther reasn why students multitask is that they simply d nt see the negative impact it has n their cursewrk. (学生多任务处理的另一个原因是，他们根本看不到这对他们的课程有负面影响)”可知，青少年选择多任务是因为多任务处理让他们感觉良好，并且他们意识不到这对他们的课程有负面影响。故答案为：Because multitasking makes them feel gd. Besides, they are nt aware f the negative impact it has n their cursewrk.
【52题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段的“The seemingly tiny distractins, hwever, result in a cnstant need t switch fcus and srt ut infrmatin, injuring the brain by veruse and making the prcess inefficient.(然而，看似微小的分心会导致人们不断需要转换注意力和整理信息，过度使用会伤害大脑，使这一过程效率低下)”和倒数第三段的“Hwever, the effects f multitasking are nt entirely negative.(然而，多任务处理的影响并不完全是负面的)”可知，虽然过度使用会伤害大脑以及让学习过程效率低下，但多任务处理的影响并非全是负面的。因此错误的部分是has n psitive effects n students.。根据本文，多任务处理的影响并不完全是负面的。故答案为：Multitasking, which injures the brain by veruse and makes the learning prcess inefficient, has n psitive effects n students. Accrding t this passage, the effects f multitasking are nt entirely negative.
【53题详解】
开放性问题。答案符合逻辑即可，注意字数。When ding hmewrk, I will nt chse multitasking. Because multitasking will make it difficult fr me t cncentrate n what I am ding, which prevents me frm efficiently cmpleting my hmewrk within the time limit.
