The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal(语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.
The mst credible analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach. Cgnitive psychlgists agree that early childhd language learning (ages 2 t 10) is critical t later verbal cmpetence, nt just because f the remarkable linguistic plasticity f yung minds, but als because f the s-called Matthew Effect.
The name cmes frm a passage in the Bible: “Fr unt every ne that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but frm him that hath nt shall be taken away even that which he hath.” Thse wh are language-pr in early childhd get relatively prer, and fall further behind, while the verbally rich get richer.
The rigin f this cruel truth lies in the nature f wrd learning. The mre wrds yu already knw, the faster yu acquire new wrds. This sunds like an invitatin t vcabulary study fr babies, but that’s been tried and it’s nt effective. Mst f the wrd meanings we knw are acquired indirectly, by intuitively(凭直觉的) guessing new meanings as we understand the main idea f what we are hearing r reading. The Matthew Effect in language can be restated this way: “T thse wh understand the main idea shall be given new wrd meanings, but t thse wh d nt there shall fllw bredm and frustratin.”
Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n, every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read. If preschlers and kindergartners are ffered substantial and cherent lessns cncerning the human and natural wrlds, then the results shw up five years r s later in significantly imprved verbal scres. By staying n a subject lng enugh t make all yung children familiar with it (say, tw weeks r s), the main idea becmes understd by all and wrd learning speeds up. This is especially imprtant fr lw-incme children, wh cme t schl with smaller vcabularies and rely n schl t pass n the knwledge base children frm rich families take fr granted.
Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.
24．The drp in verbal scres n the SAT is wrrisme because ________.
A．it will lead t a shrt supply f talents in the labr market
B．it reveals yung peple’s negative attitude twards verbal study
C．it shws the schls’ inability t meet the natinal requirements
D．students’ reading and writing ability affects their future develpment
25．Which f the fllwing is the reasn fr the falling verbal cmpetence?
A．Children’s lack f language learning ability.
B．Fewer curses n reading and writing in schl.
C．The shift f curricular fcus frm cntent t skills.
D．Heavy pressure that numerus tests have resulted in.
26．The implicatin f Mathew Effect in language is that ________.
A．children shuld be trained t understand the cntent
B．teachers shuld fcus n ne tpic in language teaching
C．children’s family backgrund determines their verbal ability
D．teachers shuld make everything understandable fr students
27．Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Mathew Effect in Language Learning
B．Hw t Stp the Drp in Verbal Scres
C．Try t Understand the Main Idea
D．Dn’t Overestimate Yur Verbal Scres

In the autumn f 2020, while stargazing n his balcny in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cle was inspired t start taking phts f his kitchen cunter. He cmpared the daily migratins f his pts, pans, spns, and graters t the revlutins f celestial bdies (天体), and began t track them in a “cunter histry”. A year later, he published the results as Glden Apple f the Sun (2021), a bk-length pht essay that expands his islated dmestic experiment until it seems t include the whle wrld. Cle writes abut the hunger he suffered as a barding-schl student in Nigeria, Dutch Glden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient ckbk. “The later a phtgraph is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cle explained. Smehw, frm this kitchen sink f memir (回忆录), art histry, and bservant bredm emerges a prtrait f the pandemic’s cllective slitude, “this year f feeling buried in the dark earth like bulbs.”
Cle’s wrk makes an art—and a necessary virtue—f clse lking. Open City (2011), his first nvel, wn praise fr its prtrayal f pst-9/11 New Yrk, whse buried histries f vilence and displacement resurface in the curse f a medical student’s wanderings. In Cle’s essays, tranquil Vermeers reveal traces f empire in clnial times, and strmy Caravaggis picture befrehand the uncertain jurneys f twenty-first-century migrants.
His great theme is the limits f visin, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis fr a kind f secnd sight. “Amng the human rights is the right t remain unseen and dark,” Cle writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent essay cllectin. In his wn pictures, peple seldm appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied. Blind Spt (2017), an experimental pht bk recrding his travels, gathers images f htel rms, brder fences, ships, and tmbs. “Darkness is nt empty,” Cle writes. “It is infrmatin at rest. Beauty, briefly, slips frm the shadws.”
28．What made Cle start t take phts f his kitchen cunter?
A．His islated dmestic lifestyle.B．The inspiratin he gt while stargazing.
C．His great interest in pht-taking.D．The suffering as a barding-schl student.
29．What d we knw abut Cle’s first nvel?
A．It was praised fr making a new art.B．It resurfaces traces f a clnial empire.
C．It was written thrugh a student’s view.D．It fresees the uncertain jurney f migrants.
30．Why des Cle prefer the limits f visin in his wrks?
A．He starts a new style t write abut cmmn peple.
B．Human rights can be well prtected in the thery.
C．It is ne f the basic skills fr the artists like him.
D．Peple can feel what is unseen by themselves.
31．What can we infer abut Cle?
A．He has a limited visin.B．He published a ckbk.
C．He fcuses n stries behind pictures.D．He enjys taking phts f peple.

One by ne, prejudices are disappearing in the West. Peple may harbr private suspicins that ther peple’s race r sex makes them inferir—but t say s penly is ttally tab. One ld prejudice remains respectable, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.
They are nt charged t special taxes, as they were in Sviet Russia; nr are they driven frm their hmes, as they still are in sme pr cuntries. The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism. Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their pensins. Childless pliticians are charged with nt having a prper stake in sciety. “He talks t us abut the future, but he desn’t have children!” cmplained Jean-Marie Le Pen, c-funder f the Natinal Frnt party, f Emmanuel Macrn, wh went n t win the French presidency. Similar attacks n Theresa May and Angela Merkel als failed but researchers find that many vters quietly agree.
The charges against the childless shuld be thrwn ut, alng with ther scial prejudice. In many rich cuntries, between 15% and 20% f wmen, and a slightly higher prprtin f men, will nt have children. The share is rising. Sme have medical prblems; thers d nt meet the right persn in time; still thers decide they d nt want them. Whatever the cause, the attacks n the childless are baseless.
If nn-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way f shwing it. They are mre likely t set up charitable fundatins than peple with children, and much mre likely t dnate mney t gd causes. Accrding t ne American estimate, the mere fact f nt having children raises the amunt a persn leaves t charity by a little ver $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful cunterweight t the wrld’s parents, wh stp scial immbility by passing n their scial and ecnmic advantages t their children.
The fact that s many senir pliticians lack ffspring ught t put t rest the idea that they d nt care fr sciety. Five f the G7 cuntries are led by childless men and wmen. Mr. Macrn, Mrs. May, Mrs. Merkel, Shinz Abe and Pal Gentilni have their faults, but they are nt ntably less able than Justin Trudeau (wh has three children) let alne Dnald Trump (wh has five). Their pprtunities fr neptism are limited. And they spare their cuntries dynastic plitics.
The charge that childless peple fail t pull their weight in ppulatin is crrect, but is less serius than it appears. Thse wh d nt have children d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne. But t sustain public pensins in the lng term, cuntries d nt actually need mre parents. What they need instead is mre babies. It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh becme parents have mre than ne r tw children. That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag. Ireland, yet anther cuntry with a childless leader, still manages it tday.
The childless als d everyne else a favur by creating wnderful wrks f art. British nvelists have been especially likely t have n ffspring: think f Hilary Mantel, P.G Wdehuse and the Brnte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen n its ten-pund nte. That decisin was cntrversial, thugh it was hard t see why. Few peple have written as shrewdly abut mney r abut families even thugh Austen did nt marry, and had n children.
32．What is the main idea f Paragraph 2?
A．The childless ften get punished in sciety.B．Mst successful pliticians have n children.
C．The childless ften cme under sharp criticismD．Childlessness affects the result f an electin.
33．The childless are prejudiced because peple think the childless ______.
A．have a strange way t shw selfishnessB．set a bad example fr yung peple
C．are nt as able as thse with childrenD．are the gvernment’s financial burden
34．What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 6 refer t?
A．Encuraging parents t have mre children.B．Reducing the pensins fr the aged.
C．Accepting mre immigrants.D．Supprting the plitical leaders with n children.
36．What is the best title fr the passage?
A．In hpe f having a child r nt.B．In defence f the childless.
C．Reasns fr nt having children.D．Measures t address aging prblems.

Signs Yu Might Be Dehydrated(脱水的)
Dehydratin is a big prblem in the summer mnths. Unfrtunately, knwing when yu begin t dehydrate isn’t always easy. S, as summer heats up, here are a few secret signs that yu need t drink as sn as pssible.
Yur breath smells r yur muth is dry. There is a ptential relatinship that links dehydratin and less than-pleasant breath, When yu're dehydrated, yu dn't prduce as much saliva(唾液). 37 S if yu ntice yur breath is a little smelly, it culd be a red flag that yu need t drink a glass r tw f H2O.
38 Dehydratin can actually temprarily shrink brain tissue, and that shrinkage may cau se pain. Such pain is a really cmmn sign f slight t middle dehydratin, and it can be either tlerable r serius.
Yur pee（尿液）is dark. One way health prfessinals diagnse dehydratin is by testing a patient’s pee t see if it's t cncentrated. But it can als help t d an easy check at hme. Simply lk at the clr f yur pee. If it’s pale yellw, yu’re hydrated. If it's a darker yellw, it’s time fr a glass f water. 39
Yu’re hungry. Thirst and hunger signs always cme tgether. 40 S if yu find that yu’re feeling hungry sn after eating, it’s wrth cnsidering whether the real reasn is thirst.
41 Staying hydrated is a really key part f maintaining energy thrughut the day. Nt getting enugh water t supprt the bdy t d their functins can make yu feel like yu’re dragging. Plus, hydratin can have a direct effect n sleep quality.
A．Yu’re tired.

My father decided t start learning French when he was 57. On the surface, his retirement hbby seems a little randm — ur family has n cnnectin t French-speaking cuntries — but his 42 ran deeper than a passin fr cakes. My grandmther develped signs f Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症) in her early 70s, and studies suggest that being bilingual, that is, being able t speak tw languages equally well, can 43 the start f the cnditin by up t five years. Drawn by that 44 benefit, many peple have attempted t pick up a new language in adulthd.
Lts f activities are linked t better brain health in ld age, like getting mre educatin when yu’re yunger and physical activity. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially 45 thugh. “We use language in all aspects f daily life, s a bilingual brain is 46 wrking,” said Mark Antniu, a prfessr at Western Sydney University wh specializes in bilingualism.
The age at which yu learn anther language appears t be less imprtant than hw 47 yu speak it. The cgnitive (认知的) benefit is frm having t 48 yur mther tngue, which yur brain is frced t d if yu’re trying t recall the right wrds in anther language. S if the secnd language is used a lt, yu’re getting that cgnitive 49 . That prcess is called cgnitive inhibitin. In thery, by imprving these types f prcesses, the brain becmes strnger t the 50 caused by diseases like dementia. The strnger yur mental pwer, the thinking ges, the lnger yu can functin nrmally, even if yur brain health starts t 51 .
Hwever, evidence fr the benefits f learning a secnd language as a hbby in yur 60s is 52 . Research by Dr. Antniu and clleagues fund that while Chinese adults 60 and up imprved n cgnitin tests after a six-mnth language learning prgram, peple wh played games like Sudku did as well. Tw mre recent studies n the tpic fund virtually n 53 in cgnitive perfrmance after peple tk part in language-learning prgrams.
The scientists wh cnducted thse studies ffered a few ptential 54 . One is that the participants were highly mtivated vlunteers, wh may have already been at peak perfrmance fr their age, making it hard t see any 55 . Anther is that the language interventins were perhaps t shrt. The handful f studies lking int the issue have used language lessns that were very different in their 56 and frequency. Sme studies taught participants fr eight mnths, thers fr just ne very intense week.

I was a vet in Yrkshire. One day I received a call frm Mrs Tmpkin asking me t cut the beak (喙) f her budgie (虎皮鹦鹉). I armed myself with a pair f clippers and stepped nt the narrw strip f pavement which separated the dr frm the rad. A pleasant-lking red-haired wman answered my knck.
“I’m Mrs Ddds frm next dr,” she said. “I keep an eye n the ld lady. She’s ver eighty and lives alne.”
She led me int the cramped little rm. “Here’s Mr Herrit cming t see Peter fr yu,” she said t the ld wman wh sat in a crner. Mrs Tmpkin ndded and smiled, “Oh that’s gd. Pr little fella can hardly eat with its lng beak and I’m wrried abut him. He’s my nly cmpanin, yu knw.”
“Yes, I understand, Mrs Tmpkin.” I lked at the cage by the windw with the green budgie perched (栖息) inside. “These little birds can be wnderful cmpany when they start chattering.”
She laughed, “Yes, but it’s a funny thing. Peter never has said that much. I think he’s lazy! But I just like having him with me.”
“Of curse yu d,” I said, “but he certainly needs attentin nw.”
The beak was greatly vergrwn, curving away dwn till it tuched the feathers f the breast. I wuld be able t revlutinize his life with ne quick snip frm my clippers. The way I was feeling this jb was right up my street.
I pened the cage dr and slwly inserted my hand.
“Cme n, Peter,” I wheedled (哄骗). As I lifted him ut, I felt in my pcket with the ther hand fr the clippers. Then I stpped.
The tiny head was n lnger pking cheekily frm my fingers but had fallen lsely t ne side. The eyes were clsed. He was dead.
Mrs Ddds and I lked at each ther in hrrr. When I turned my head twards Mrs Tmpkin, I was surprised t see that she was still ndding and smiling.
I drew her neighbr t ne side. “Mrs Ddds, hw much des she see?”
“Oh, she’s very shrt-sighted but she’s right vain despite her age. Never wuld she wear glasses. She’s hard f hearing, t.”
“Well, lk,” I said. My heart was still punding. “I just dn’t knw what t d. If I tell her abut this, the shck will be terrible. Anything culd happen.”
Mrs Ddds ndded, stricken-faced. “Yes, yu’re right. She’s that attached t the little thing.”

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几个周末度假必备用品。
21．细节理解题。根据“ECCO Offrad Athletic Sandals, £ 59.38”部分的句子“Whether yu’re ff n a city break r explring beaches, chances are yu’re getting yur steps in this hliday, which will be hard ging n yur feet. These ECCO sandals are specially designed and mst cmfrtable when hiking, with an EVA ftbed and ECCOFLUIDFORM design ffering extra cushining (减震) and flexibility.（无论你是去城市度假还是去海滩探险，你都有可能在这个假期里迈开脚步，这对你的脚来说是很困难的。这些ECCO凉鞋是特别设计的，徒步旅行时最舒适，EVA鞋垫和ECCOFLUIDFORM设计提供额外的缓冲和灵活性。）”可知，ECCO Offrad Athletic Sandals的优点是它的舒适性。
22．细节理解题。根据“PwerAdd Prtable(便携式的)Charger Pwer Bank, £15.99”部分的介绍“Prtable chargers have gained ppularity recently, but this ne is genuinely pcket-sized withut any lss f the charging pwer. The pwer bank itself can be fully charged within a speedy tw hurs, and delivers rughly tw charges fr an iPhne 15. At10.5cm length, and 99g weight, yu can easily slip this int yur bag withut feeling weighed dwn.（便携式充电器最近很流行，但这款是真正的口袋大小，不会损失任何充电功率。充电宝本身可以在两小时内充满电，为iPhne 15充电大约两次。它长10.5厘米，重99克，你可以轻松地把它塞进包里，而不会感到沉重。）”可知，PwerAdd Prtable Charger Pwer Bank适合那些对低电量焦虑的人。
23．推理判断题。根据文章内容，特别是第一句话“Ging away fr yur mini break? Bring these lng weekend essentials t make the mst f the leave.（出去度个小假？带上这些长周末必备用品，充分利用假期。）”可知，外出度假的人会对这篇文章感兴趣。
24．A 25．B 26．D 27．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是高中生语言能力急剧下降的原因以及应对的措施。
24．细节理解题。根据首段中的“This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal(语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb.(这是非常令人担忧的，因为衡量我们中小学整体质量的最佳单一指标是17岁学生的平均语言成绩。这个分数与学习新事物的能力、与他人沟通的能力以及获得工作的能力有关。)”可知，这一分数是衡量中小学整体质量的单一指标，而这一分数与学生的学习能力，沟通能力以及获取工作的能力相关，由此可知，之所以担忧是因为学生的阅读能力直接影响了学生未来的发展。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The mst credible analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach.(最可信的分析表明，主要原因是课程的巨大变化，特别是在关键的早期年级。在“语言大衰退”之前的几十年里，内容丰富的小学经历演变成了内容少、以技能为基础、以考试为中心的方法。)”可知，语言能力下降的原因是在关键的早起年级课程发生巨大变化，课程内容减少，转变为以技能为基础，以考试为中心。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Matthew Effect in language can be restated this way: “T thse wh understand the main idea shall be given new wrd meanings, but t thse wh d nt there shall fllw bredm and frustratin.”(语言中的马太效应可以这样重述:“对于那些理解主旨的人，应该给予新的单词含义，但对于那些不理解的人，则会感到无聊和沮丧。”。)”可知，马太效应讲述的是理解主要思想的人被赋予新的单词含义，对于不理解的人来说，会感到无聊和沮丧，由此可推断，需要对儿童内容的理解。
27．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. (关于教育的最新坏消息是，SAT的阅读和写作分数再次下降，但这并不令人意外。我们高中生的语言能力在20世纪70年代急剧下降，并且从未恢复。)”可知，高中生的语言能力自20世纪70年代急剧下滑且从未恢复，进而在下文中分析了产生这一结果的原因，结合尾段中“Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.(目前的改革策略集中在考试、提高教师素质等方面。对这些结构性问题的关注导致了最好的公立学校的改进。但这还不够。)”可知，就此现象，已经有了一些教育改革策略并得到了一定的改善，但仍是远远不够的，由此可知，本文主要讲述的是语言能力下滑以及采取的相应的策略，所以题目为“如何止住语言分数下降”与本文内容吻合，且概括全文的主题。
28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了摄影师兼作家Teju Cle的一些作品及创作灵感。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In the autumn f 2020, while stargazing n his balcny in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cle was inspired t start taking phts f his kitchen cunter.(2020年秋天，Teju Cle在马萨诸塞州剑桥市的阳台上观星时，受到启发，开始拍摄厨房柜台的照片)”可知，在观星时得到的灵感让科尔开始拍厨房柜台的照片。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Open City (2011), his first nvel, wn praise fr its prtrayal f pst-9/11 New Yrk, whse buried histries f vilence and displacement resurface in the curse f a medical student’s wanderings.(《开放城市》是他的第一部小说，因其对9/11后纽约的描绘而赢得赞誉。在一名医学生的流浪过程中，纽约被掩埋的暴力和流离失所的历史重新浮现出来)”可知，他的第一部小说是从一个学生的角度写的。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“His great theme is the limits f visin, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis fr a kind f secnd sight.(他的伟大主题是视觉的局限，以及这些局限可以作为第二视觉的基础)”可推知，科尔在他的作品中更喜欢视觉的局限因为人们可以洞察看不见的东西。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In his wn pictures, peple seldm appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied.(在他自己的照片中，人物很少直接出现，但他们的存在无处不在)”可知，他关注的是图片背后的故事。
32．C 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了当今社会对不生孩子的偏见，并认为对无子女者的指控应当驳回，他们的存在为社会产生很多好处。
32．主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism.(尽管如此，没有孩子的人还是受到了很多批评。)”并结合下文可知，本段主要讲述了无子女者常常遭受尖锐批判。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their pensins.(一些人指出，非父母者无法培养出未来的工人来支付养老金。)”和倒数第二段中的“Thse wh d nt have children d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne.(那些没有孩子的人确实给公共养老金系统带来了压力。政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情，比如像日本那样降低养老金的慷慨程度，或者像一些西方国家那样接受更多的移民。)”可知，由于无子女者没有生孩子来为养老金系统作贡献，这会给公共养老金系统带来压力，政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情。由此可推测出，无子女者遭受人们的偏见是因为人们认为他们成为政府的经济负担。
34．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句前面的“It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh becme parents have mre than ne r tw children. That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag.(如果成为父母的人有一个或两个以上的孩子，就有可能把高无子女率和高出生率结合起来。这是一个世纪前许多西方国家的模式。)”可知，画线词it指代前文的内容，即一个世纪前许多国家采取的模式是鼓励成为父母的人生孩子，从而兼顾高无子女率与高出生率。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“One ld prejudice remains respectable, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.(然而，一种古老的偏见仍然受人尊敬。问问一个没有孩子的人就知道了。)”引出话题：无子女者遭受偏见；第二段具体讲述了无子女者面对的批判；根据第三段中的“The charges against the childless shuld be thrwn ut, alng with ther scial prejudice.(对无子女者的指控以及其他社会偏见应该被驳回。)”讲述作者的看法，作者认为不应当对无子女者怀有偏见；接下来几段作者分别从慈善、政治能力、人口增长、艺术文学贡献等方面讲述无子女者的贡献。由此可推测出，本文主要指出人们对无子女者的偏见，并为无子女者辩护，由此可推测出，A项“为无子女者辩护”最适合作本文标题。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章从多个角度讲解了人体脱水的一些特征。
36．本段讲解的特征是“有口气或口干”。空白前句“When yu're dehydrated, yu dn't prduce as much saliva”点明人体脱水时唾液分泌会减少，F选项“这些液体会帮助分解食物并将其带离口腔”中提到的The liquid显然是指唾液，可以承接前句，也解释了唾液的作用。故选F项。
37．后句“Dehydratin can actually temprarily shrink brain tissue, and that shrinkage may cause pain”指出缺水会导致大脑组织收缩从而引发疼痛，容易推断应该是引发头痛，B选项“你会感到头痛”为本段的小标题。
38．本段讲解的特征是“尿液颜色深”。前句指出我们可以通过观察尿液颜色来简单判断是否脱水，即“If it’s pale yellw, yu’re hydrated. If it's a darker yellw, it’s time fr a glass f water”呈淡黄色说明不缺水，深黄色说明需要补水了，G选项“一般来说，你喝的越多，你的液体排泄物就会越清澈”总结了前句的结论，也符合段落主题。故选G项。
39．本段讲解的特征是“你会感到饥饿”。前句“Thirst and hunger signs always cme tgether”指出饥饿和口渴总是一起出现的，E选项“它们都是由大脑中同一区域产生的”中bth一词正好对应到前句说明的两个对象，也解释了其原因。故选E项。
40．后面两句“Staying hydrated is a really key part f maintaining energy thrughut the day. Nt getting enugh water t supprt the bdy t d their functins can make yu feel like yu’re dragging”表明保证不脱水是维持能量的关键，补水不足会使人感觉到被拖累，A选项“你会感到累”涵盖的正是文段中显示的特征，适合作为段落主题句，与前几段小标题的格式也很类似。

One pssible versin:
I decided t d smething fr her instead f telling her the truth. Suddenly it ccurred t me that I culd buy her a new bird in the nearby stre. Mrs Ddds als thught it a gd idea and even suggested ne in the twn. I cleared my thrat, telling Mrs Tmpkin that I was ging t take Peter alng t the surgery t d the jb. I left her still ndding and smiling and, cage in hand, fled int the street. I sn fund the shp and luckily there was a green budgie in the shp. With the bird in the cage, I sped back and hung it in its place by the windw. “I think yu’ll find everything is well nw,” I tld Mrs Tmpkin.
It was a lng time befre I went t see hw Mrs Tmpkin gt alng with the bird I bught fr her. “Hw is the bird?” I said. The ld lady led me in and then laughed. “Oh, yu mean Peter. He is grand.” In the little rm, the cage still hung by the windw and Peter, the Secnd, hpped arund the bars f the cage, running up and dwn his ladder. Mrs Tmpkin lked lvingly at him. “Yu wuldn’t believe it,” she said. “He’s like a different bird, chattering t me all day lng. It’s wnderful what cutting a beak can d.” Hearing this, I feel relieved — my effrts did bring her happiness.
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者在为一位老妇人的鹦鹉诊治时鹦鹉突然死了，作者担心这会让老妇人太难过，于是偷偷又买了一只鹦鹉替代，这只鹦鹉非常健康活泼，这让老妇人感到很开心。
【详解】
段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我决定为她做点什么，而不是告诉她真相。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定不告诉汤普金夫人鹦鹉已经死了，偷偷买了另一只鹦鹉替代。
②由第二段首句内容“过了很长一段时间，我才去看汤普金夫人和我给她买的鸟相处得怎么样。”可知，第二段可描写汤普金夫人非常开心，她和新鹦鹉相处得很好，并以为这就是原来的那只。
续写线索：想到主意——哄骗——买到鹦鹉——探望——开心——宽慰

The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. This is very wrrisme, because the best single measure f the verall quality f ur primary and secndary schls is the average verbal(语言的) scre f 17-year-lds. This scre crrelates with the ability t learn new things readily, t cmmunicate with thers and t secure a jb. It als predicts future incme.
The mst credible analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach. Cgnitive psychlgists agree that early childhd language learning (ages 2 t 10) is critical t later verbal cmpetence, nt just because f the remarkable linguistic plasticity f yung minds, but als because f the s-called Matthew Effect.
The name cmes frm a passage in the Bible: “Fr unt every ne that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but frm him that hath nt shall be taken away even that which he hath.” Thse wh are language-pr in early childhd get relatively prer, and fall further behind, while the verbally rich get richer.
The rigin f this cruel truth lies in the nature f wrd learning. The mre wrds yu already knw, the faster yu acquire new wrds. This sunds like an invitatin t vcabulary study fr babies, but that’s been tried and it’s nt effective. Mst f the wrd meanings we knw are acquired indirectly, by intuitively(凭直觉的) guessing new meanings as we understand the main idea f what we are hearing r reading. The Matthew Effect in language can be restated this way: “T thse wh understand the main idea shall be given new wrd meanings, but t thse wh d nt there shall fllw bredm and frustratin.”
Clearly the key is t make sure that frm kindergarten n, every student, frm the start, understands the main idea f what is heard r read. If preschlers and kindergartners are ffered substantial and cherent lessns cncerning the human and natural wrlds, then the results shw up five years r s later in significantly imprved verbal scres. By staying n a subject lng enugh t make all yung children familiar with it (say, tw weeks r s), the main idea becmes understd by all and wrd learning speeds up. This is especially imprtant fr lw-incme children, wh cme t schl with smaller vcabularies and rely n schl t pass n the knwledge base children frm rich families take fr granted.
Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.

In the autumn f 2020, while stargazing n his balcny in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cle was inspired t start taking phts f his kitchen cunter. He cmpared the daily migratins f his pts, pans, spns, and graters t the revlutins f celestial bdies (天体), and began t track them in a “cunter histry”. A year later, he published the results as Glden Apple f the Sun (2021), a bk-length pht essay that expands his islated dmestic experiment until it seems t include the whle wrld. Cle writes abut the hunger he suffered as a barding-schl student in Nigeria, Dutch Glden Age still-lifes, slavery and the sugary recipes in an ancient ckbk. “The later a phtgraph is in a given sequence, the heavier it is,” Cle explained. Smehw, frm this kitchen sink f memir (回忆录), art histry, and bservant bredm emerges a prtrait f the pandemic’s cllective slitude, “this year f feeling buried in the dark earth like bulbs.”
Cle’s wrk makes an art—and a necessary virtue—f clse lking. Open City (2011), his first nvel, wn praise fr its prtrayal f pst-9/11 New Yrk, whse buried histries f vilence and displacement resurface in the curse f a medical student’s wanderings. In Cle’s essays, tranquil Vermeers reveal traces f empire in clnial times, and strmy Caravaggis picture befrehand the uncertain jurneys f twenty-first-century migrants.
His great theme is the limits f visin, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis fr a kind f secnd sight. “Amng the human rights is the right t remain unseen and dark,” Cle writes in Black Paper (2021); a recent essay cllectin. In his wn pictures, peple seldm appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied. Blind Spt (2017), an experimental pht bk recrding his travels, gathers images f htel rms, brder fences, ships, and tmbs. “Darkness is nt empty,” Cle writes. “It is infrmatin at rest. Beauty, briefly, slips frm the shadws.”
28．What made Cle start t take phts f his kitchen cunter?
A．His islated dmestic lifestyle.B．The inspiratin he gt while stargazing.
C．His great interest in pht-taking.D．The suffering as a barding-schl student.
29．What d we knw abut Cle’s first nvel?
A．It was praised fr making a new art.B．It resurfaces traces f a clnial empire.
C．It was written thrugh a student’s view.D．It fresees the uncertain jurney f migrants.
30．Why des Cle prefer the limits f visin in his wrks?
A．He starts a new style t write abut cmmn peple.
B．Human rights can be well prtected in the thery.
C．It is ne f the basic skills fr the artists like him.
D．Peple can feel what is unseen by themselves.
31．What can we infer abut Cle?
A．He has a limited visin.B．He published a ckbk.
C．He fcuses n stries behind pictures.D．He enjys taking phts f peple.

One by ne, prejudices are disappearing in the West. Peple may harbr private suspicins that ther peple’s race r sex makes them inferir—but t say s penly is ttally tab. One ld prejudice remains respectable, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.
They are nt charged t special taxes, as they were in Sviet Russia; nr are they driven frm their hmes, as they still are in sme pr cuntries. The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism. Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their pensins. Childless pliticians are charged with nt having a prper stake in sciety. “He talks t us abut the future, but he desn’t have children!” cmplained Jean-Marie Le Pen, c-funder f the Natinal Frnt party, f Emmanuel Macrn, wh went n t win the French presidency. Similar attacks n Theresa May and Angela Merkel als failed but researchers find that many vters quietly agree.
The charges against the childless shuld be thrwn ut, alng with ther scial prejudice. In many rich cuntries, between 15% and 20% f wmen, and a slightly higher prprtin f men, will nt have children. The share is rising. Sme have medical prblems; thers d nt meet the right persn in time; still thers decide they d nt want them. Whatever the cause, the attacks n the childless are baseless.
If nn-breeders are selfish, they have a strange way f shwing it. They are mre likely t set up charitable fundatins than peple with children, and much mre likely t dnate mney t gd causes. Accrding t ne American estimate, the mere fact f nt having children raises the amunt a persn leaves t charity by a little ver $10,000. The childless are thus a small but useful cunterweight t the wrld’s parents, wh stp scial immbility by passing n their scial and ecnmic advantages t their children.
The fact that s many senir pliticians lack ffspring ught t put t rest the idea that they d nt care fr sciety. Five f the G7 cuntries are led by childless men and wmen. Mr. Macrn, Mrs. May, Mrs. Merkel, Shinz Abe and Pal Gentilni have their faults, but they are nt ntably less able than Justin Trudeau (wh has three children) let alne Dnald Trump (wh has five). Their pprtunities fr neptism are limited. And they spare their cuntries dynastic plitics.
The charge that childless peple fail t pull their weight in ppulatin is crrect, but is less serius than it appears. Thse wh d nt have children d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne. But t sustain public pensins in the lng term, cuntries d nt actually need mre parents. What they need instead is mre babies. It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh becme parents have mre than ne r tw children. That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag. Ireland, yet anther cuntry with a childless leader, still manages it tday.
The childless als d everyne else a favur by creating wnderful wrks f art. British nvelists have been especially likely t have n ffspring: think f Hilary Mantel, P.G Wdehuse and the Brnte sisters. In September last year Britain put Jane Austen n its ten-pund nte. That decisin was cntrversial, thugh it was hard t see why. Few peple have written as shrewdly abut mney r abut families even thugh Austen did nt marry, and had n children.
32．What is the main idea f Paragraph 2?
A．The childless ften get punished in sciety.B．Mst successful pliticians have n children.
C．The childless ften cme under sharp criticismD．Childlessness affects the result f an electin.
33．The childless are prejudiced because peple think the childless ______.
A．have a strange way t shw selfishnessB．set a bad example fr yung peple
C．are nt as able as thse with childrenD．are the gvernment’s financial burden
34．What des the underlined wrd “it” in Paragraph 6 refer t?
A．Encuraging parents t have mre children.B．Reducing the pensins fr the aged.
C．Accepting mre immigrants.D．Supprting the plitical leaders with n children.

Signs Yu Might Be Dehydrated(脱水的)
Dehydratin is a big prblem in the summer mnths. Unfrtunately, knwing when yu begin t dehydrate isn’t always easy. S, as summer heats up, here are a few secret signs that yu need t drink as sn as pssible.
Yur breath smells r yur muth is dry. There is a ptential relatinship that links dehydratin and less than-pleasant breath, When yu're dehydrated, yu dn't prduce as much saliva(唾液). 37 S if yu ntice yur breath is a little smelly, it culd be a red flag that yu need t drink a glass r tw f H2O.
38 Dehydratin can actually temprarily shrink brain tissue, and that shrinkage may cau se pain. Such pain is a really cmmn sign f slight t middle dehydratin, and it can be either tlerable r serius.
Yur pee（尿液）is dark. One way health prfessinals diagnse dehydratin is by testing a patient’s pee t see if it's t cncentrated. But it can als help t d an easy check at hme. Simply lk at the clr f yur pee. If it’s pale yellw, yu’re hydrated. If it's a darker yellw, it’s time fr a glass f water. 39
Yu’re hungry. Thirst and hunger signs always cme tgether. 40 S if yu find that yu’re feeling hungry sn after eating, it’s wrth cnsidering whether the real reasn is thirst.
41 Staying hydrated is a really key part f maintaining energy thrughut the day. Nt getting enugh water t supprt the bdy t d their functins can make yu feel like yu’re dragging. Plus, hydratin can have a direct effect n sleep quality.
A．Yu’re tired.
B．Yu have a headache.
C．Yu feel like yu have a summer “flu”.
D．While this isn’t a guarantee, it culd be a sign.
E．They are bth prduced in the same regin f yur brain.
F．The liquid helps break dwn fd and brings it frm yur muth.
G．In general, the mre yu drink, the clearer yur liquid waste shuld be.

My father decided t start learning French when he was 57. On the surface, his retirement hbby seems a little randm — ur family has n cnnectin t French-speaking cuntries — but his 42 ran deeper than a passin fr cakes. My grandmther develped signs f Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默症) in her early 70s, and studies suggest that being bilingual, that is, being able t speak tw languages equally well, can 43 the start f the cnditin by up t five years. Drawn by that 44 benefit, many peple have attempted t pick up a new language in adulthd.
Lts f activities are linked t better brain health in ld age, like getting mre educatin when yu’re yunger and physical activity. Experts say regularly speaking multiple languages may be especially 45 thugh. “We use language in all aspects f daily life, s a bilingual brain is 46 wrking,” said Mark Antniu, a prfessr at Western Sydney University wh specializes in bilingualism.
The age at which yu learn anther language appears t be less imprtant than hw 47 yu speak it. The cgnitive (认知的) benefit is frm having t 48 yur mther tngue, which yur brain is frced t d if yu’re trying t recall the right wrds in anther language. S if the secnd language is used a lt, yu’re getting that cgnitive 49 . That prcess is called cgnitive inhibitin. In thery, by imprving these types f prcesses, the brain becmes strnger t the 50 caused by diseases like dementia. The strnger yur mental pwer, the thinking ges, the lnger yu can functin nrmally, even if yur brain health starts t 51 .
Hwever, evidence fr the benefits f learning a secnd language as a hbby in yur 60s is 52 . Research by Dr. Antniu and clleagues fund that while Chinese adults 60 and up imprved n cgnitin tests after a six-mnth language learning prgram, peple wh played games like Sudku did as well. Tw mre recent studies n the tpic fund virtually n 53 in cgnitive perfrmance after peple tk part in language-learning prgrams.
The scientists wh cnducted thse studies ffered a few ptential 54 . One is that the participants were highly mtivated vlunteers, wh may have already been at peak perfrmance fr their age, making it hard t see any 55 . Anther is that the language interventins were perhaps t shrt. The handful f studies lking int the issue have used language lessns that were very different in their 56 and frequency. Sme studies taught participants fr eight mnths, thers fr just ne very intense week.

I was a vet in Yrkshire. One day I received a call frm Mrs Tmpkin asking me t cut the beak (喙) f her budgie (虎皮鹦鹉). I armed myself with a pair f clippers and stepped nt the narrw strip f pavement which separated the dr frm the rad. A pleasant-lking red-haired wman answered my knck.
“I’m Mrs Ddds frm next dr,” she said. “I keep an eye n the ld lady. She’s ver eighty and lives alne.”
She led me int the cramped little rm. “Here’s Mr Herrit cming t see Peter fr yu,” she said t the ld wman wh sat in a crner. Mrs Tmpkin ndded and smiled, “Oh that’s gd. Pr little fella can hardly eat with its lng beak and I’m wrried abut him. He’s my nly cmpanin, yu knw.”
“Yes, I understand, Mrs Tmpkin.” I lked at the cage by the windw with the green budgie perched (栖息) inside. “These little birds can be wnderful cmpany when they start chattering.”
She laughed, “Yes, but it’s a funny thing. Peter never has said that much. I think he’s lazy! But I just like having him with me.”
“Of curse yu d,” I said, “but he certainly needs attentin nw.”
The beak was greatly vergrwn, curving away dwn till it tuched the feathers f the breast. I wuld be able t revlutinize his life with ne quick snip frm my clippers. The way I was feeling this jb was right up my street.
I pened the cage dr and slwly inserted my hand.
“Cme n, Peter,” I wheedled (哄骗). As I lifted him ut, I felt in my pcket with the ther hand fr the clippers. Then I stpped.
The tiny head was n lnger pking cheekily frm my fingers but had fallen lsely t ne side. The eyes were clsed. He was dead.
Mrs Ddds and I lked at each ther in hrrr. When I turned my head twards Mrs Tmpkin, I was surprised t see that she was still ndding and smiling.
I drew her neighbr t ne side. “Mrs Ddds, hw much des she see?”
“Oh, she’s very shrt-sighted but she’s right vain despite her age. Never wuld she wear glasses. She’s hard f hearing, t.”
“Well, lk,” I said. My heart was still punding. “I just dn’t knw what t d. If I tell her abut this, the shck will be terrible. Anything culd happen.”
Mrs Ddds ndded, stricken-faced. “Yes, yu’re right. She’s that attached t the little thing.”

25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The mst credible analyses have shwn that the chief causes are vast curricular changes, especially in the critical early grades. In the decades befre the Great Verbal Decline, a cntent-rich elementary schl experience evlved int a cntent-light, skills-based, test-centered apprach.(最可信的分析表明，主要原因是课程的巨大变化，特别是在关键的早期年级。在“语言大衰退”之前的几十年里，内容丰富的小学经历演变成了内容少、以技能为基础、以考试为中心的方法。)”可知，语言能力下降的原因是在关键的早起年级课程发生巨大变化，课程内容减少，转变为以技能为基础，以考试为中心。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The Matthew Effect in language can be restated this way: “T thse wh understand the main idea shall be given new wrd meanings, but t thse wh d nt there shall fllw bredm and frustratin.”(语言中的马太效应可以这样重述:“对于那些理解主旨的人，应该给予新的单词含义，但对于那些不理解的人，则会感到无聊和沮丧。”。)”可知，马太效应讲述的是理解主要思想的人被赋予新的单词含义，对于不理解的人来说，会感到无聊和沮丧，由此可推断，需要对儿童内容的理解。
27．主旨大意题。根据首段中的“The latest bad but unsurprising news n educatin is that reading and writing scres n the SAT have nce again declined. The language cmpetence f ur high schlers fell steeply in the 1970s and has never recvered. (关于教育的最新坏消息是，SAT的阅读和写作分数再次下降，但这并不令人意外。我们高中生的语言能力在20世纪70年代急剧下降，并且从未恢复。)”可知，高中生的语言能力自20世纪70年代急剧下滑且从未恢复，进而在下文中分析了产生这一结果的原因，结合尾段中“Current refrm strategies fcus n testing, imprving teacher quality, and ther changes. Attentin t these structural issues has led t imprvements in the best public schls. But it is nt enugh.(目前的改革策略集中在考试、提高教师素质等方面。对这些结构性问题的关注导致了最好的公立学校的改进。但这还不够。)”可知，就此现象，已经有了一些教育改革策略并得到了一定的改善，但仍是远远不够的，由此可知，本文主要讲述的是语言能力下滑以及采取的相应的策略，所以题目为“如何止住语言分数下降”与本文内容吻合，且概括全文的主题。
28．B 29．C 30．D 31．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了摄影师兼作家Teju Cle的一些作品及创作灵感。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“In the autumn f 2020, while stargazing n his balcny in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Teju Cle was inspired t start taking phts f his kitchen cunter.(2020年秋天，Teju Cle在马萨诸塞州剑桥市的阳台上观星时，受到启发，开始拍摄厨房柜台的照片)”可知，在观星时得到的灵感让科尔开始拍厨房柜台的照片。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的“Open City (2011), his first nvel, wn praise fr its prtrayal f pst-9/11 New Yrk, whse buried histries f vilence and displacement resurface in the curse f a medical student’s wanderings.(《开放城市》是他的第一部小说，因其对9/11后纽约的描绘而赢得赞誉。在一名医学生的流浪过程中，纽约被掩埋的暴力和流离失所的历史重新浮现出来)”可知，他的第一部小说是从一个学生的角度写的。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“His great theme is the limits f visin, and the way that these limits can serve as the basis fr a kind f secnd sight.(他的伟大主题是视觉的局限，以及这些局限可以作为第二视觉的基础)”可推知，科尔在他的作品中更喜欢视觉的局限因为人们可以洞察看不见的东西。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In his wn pictures, peple seldm appear directly, but their presence is everywhere implied.(在他自己的照片中，人物很少直接出现，但他们的存在无处不在)”可知，他关注的是图片背后的故事。
32．C 33．D 34．A 35．B
【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讲述了当今社会对不生孩子的偏见，并认为对无子女者的指控应当驳回，他们的存在为社会产生很多好处。
32．主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句“The childless nnetheless cme in fr a lt f criticism.(尽管如此，没有孩子的人还是受到了很多批评。)”并结合下文可知，本段主要讲述了无子女者常常遭受尖锐批判。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Sme pint ut that nn-parents are failing t prduce the future wrkers wh will pay fr their pensins.(一些人指出，非父母者无法培养出未来的工人来支付养老金。)”和倒数第二段中的“Thse wh d nt have children d put pressure n public pensin systems. Gvernments have t d unppular things like making pensins less generus, as Japan has dne, r accepting mre immigrants, as sme Western cuntries have dne.(那些没有孩子的人确实给公共养老金系统带来了压力。政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情，比如像日本那样降低养老金的慷慨程度，或者像一些西方国家那样接受更多的移民。)”可知，由于无子女者没有生孩子来为养老金系统作贡献，这会给公共养老金系统带来压力，政府不得不做一些不受欢迎的事情。由此可推测出，无子女者遭受人们的偏见是因为人们认为他们成为政府的经济负担。
34．词句猜测题。根据画线词所在句前面的“It is pssible t cmbine a high rate f childlessness with a high birth rate, prvided peple wh becme parents have mre than ne r tw children. That was the pattern in many Western cuntries a century ag.(如果成为父母的人有一个或两个以上的孩子，就有可能把高无子女率和高出生率结合起来。这是一个世纪前许多西方国家的模式。)”可知，画线词it指代前文的内容，即一个世纪前许多国家采取的模式是鼓励成为父母的人生孩子，从而兼顾高无子女率与高出生率。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段最后一句“One ld prejudice remains respectable, thugh. Just ask a childless persn.(然而，一种古老的偏见仍然受人尊敬。问问一个没有孩子的人就知道了。)”引出话题：无子女者遭受偏见；第二段具体讲述了无子女者面对的批判；根据第三段中的“The charges against the childless shuld be thrwn ut, alng with ther scial prejudice.(对无子女者的指控以及其他社会偏见应该被驳回。)”讲述作者的看法，作者认为不应当对无子女者怀有偏见；接下来几段作者分别从慈善、政治能力、人口增长、艺术文学贡献等方面讲述无子女者的贡献。由此可推测出，本文主要指出人们对无子女者的偏见，并为无子女者辩护，由此可推测出，A项“为无子女者辩护”最适合作本文标题。

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章从多个角度讲解了人体脱水的一些特征。
36．本段讲解的特征是“有口气或口干”。空白前句“When yu're dehydrated, yu dn't prduce as much saliva”点明人体脱水时唾液分泌会减少，F选项“这些液体会帮助分解食物并将其带离口腔”中提到的The liquid显然是指唾液，可以承接前句，也解释了唾液的作用。故选F项。
37．后句“Dehydratin can actually temprarily shrink brain tissue, and that shrinkage may cause pain”指出缺水会导致大脑组织收缩从而引发疼痛，容易推断应该是引发头痛，B选项“你会感到头痛”为本段的小标题。
38．本段讲解的特征是“尿液颜色深”。前句指出我们可以通过观察尿液颜色来简单判断是否脱水，即“If it’s pale yellw, yu’re hydrated. If it's a darker yellw, it’s time fr a glass f water”呈淡黄色说明不缺水，深黄色说明需要补水了，G选项“一般来说，你喝的越多，你的液体排泄物就会越清澈”总结了前句的结论，也符合段落主题。故选G项。
39．本段讲解的特征是“你会感到饥饿”。前句“Thirst and hunger signs always cme tgether”指出饥饿和口渴总是一起出现的，E选项“它们都是由大脑中同一区域产生的”中bth一词正好对应到前句说明的两个对象，也解释了其原因。故选E项。
40．后面两句“Staying hydrated is a really key part f maintaining energy thrughut the day. Nt getting enugh water t supprt the bdy t d their functins can make yu feel like yu’re dragging”表明保证不脱水是维持能量的关键，补水不足会使人感觉到被拖累，A选项“你会感到累”涵盖的正是文段中显示的特征，适合作为段落主题句，与前几段小标题的格式也很类似。

One pssible versin:
I decided t d smething fr her instead f telling her the truth. Suddenly it ccurred t me that I culd buy her a new bird in the nearby stre. Mrs Ddds als thught it a gd idea and even suggested ne in the twn. I cleared my thrat, telling Mrs Tmpkin that I was ging t take Peter alng t the surgery t d the jb. I left her still ndding and smiling and, cage in hand, fled int the street. I sn fund the shp and luckily there was a green budgie in the shp. With the bird in the cage, I sped back and hung it in its place by the windw. “I think yu’ll find everything is well nw,” I tld Mrs Tmpkin.
It was a lng time befre I went t see hw Mrs Tmpkin gt alng with the bird I bught fr her. “Hw is the bird?” I said. The ld lady led me in and then laughed. “Oh, yu mean Peter. He is grand.” In the little rm, the cage still hung by the windw and Peter, the Secnd, hpped arund the bars f the cage, running up and dwn his ladder. Mrs Tmpkin lked lvingly at him. “Yu wuldn’t believe it,” she said. “He’s like a different bird, chattering t me all day lng. It’s wnderful what cutting a beak can d.” Hearing this, I feel relieved — my effrts did bring her happiness.
【导语】本文以时间为线索展开，讲述了作者在为一位老妇人的鹦鹉诊治时鹦鹉突然死了，作者担心这会让老妇人太难过，于是偷偷又买了一只鹦鹉替代，这只鹦鹉非常健康活泼，这让老妇人感到很开心。
【详解】
段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“我决定为她做点什么，而不是告诉她真相。”可知，第一段可描写作者决定不告诉汤普金夫人鹦鹉已经死了，偷偷买了另一只鹦鹉替代。
②由第二段首句内容“过了很长一段时间，我才去看汤普金夫人和我给她买的鸟相处得怎么样。”可知，第二段可描写汤普金夫人非常开心，她和新鹦鹉相处得很好，并以为这就是原来的那只。
续写线索：想到主意——哄骗——买到鹦鹉——探望——开心——宽慰
