It is universally believed that playing an instrument r singing in a chir may bst yur brain. Generatins f parents have tld their children t practice their musical instruments. Parents have gd reasn t keep n tp f their children’s musical educatin, since learning an instrument is nt nly assciated with better educatinal achievement but als cgnitin (认知) and even intelligence scres in children. But des this musicality cntribute t better cgnitin later in life?
A new study in the Internatinal Jurnal f Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this questin by asking middle-aged and lder peple t cmplete a questinnaire n their lifetime musical experience befre cmpleting cgnitive tests. The results shwed that musical peple had better memry and ability t stay fcused n tasks and plans than thse with less r n musicality.
But hw abut being musical withut playing an instrument? Accrding t the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) functin but nt memry, suggesting that playing an instrument has additinal brain health benefits. Why singing wuld help us with ur executive functin is nt clear and requires further investigatin. Hwever, singing has a strng scial benefit when dne in chirs, and there is gd evidence that being invlved in scial activity is gd fr ur brain health.
Playing an instrument r singing seems t have benefits t ur brain health in ageing, accrding t the study. What is yet t be established is whether this wuld als help prevent future cgnitive decline (下降) r dementia. The study prvides n evidence fr this yet and it is als nt clear hw the findings apply t the general ppulatin, since mst peple in the study were female, well-educated and well-ff.
8 What des the new study center n?
A. The cgnitin imprvement by singing in a chir.
B. Musical peple’s ability f keeping fcused n tasks.
C. Academic prgress f children playing an instrument.
D. Musicality’s effect upn better cgnitin later in life.

A. Catherine wh sings in a chir.B. Sam wh was brn in a music family.
C. Mary wh played the pian fr years.D. Jack wh is eager t get music educatin.
10 What des the underlined wrd “established” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Prved.B. Started.C. Annunced.D. Admitted.
11. What is the authr’s attitude twards the findings f the study?
A. Objective.B. Oppsed.C. Unclear.D. Supprtive.

It’s a cmmn debate between cuples — the perfect temperature t keep bth warm but nt ht. And the temperature’s setting ften frms the basis f ffice arguments between wmen and men abut the “crrect” temperature. Research des ften shw wmen prefer a higher indr temperature, cmpared with men. But why d wmen feel the cld mre?
With the same bdy weight, wmen tend t have less muscle t prduce heat. Wmen als have mre fat between the skin and the muscles, s the skin feels clder, as it’s slightly further away frm bld vessels. Wmen als tend t have a lwer metablic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat prductin ability during cld expsure, making wmen mre likely t feel cld as the temperature drps. Additinally, the hrmnes mainly fund in wmen make wmen’s hands, feet and ears stay arund three degrees Celsius cler than men’s.
The phenmenn that wmen prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique t humans. Studies n many species f birds and mammals reprt that males cmmnly gather in cler areas where there is shade while females and the yung stay in warmer envirnments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer t rest at the cl, high peaks f muntains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have develped a preference fr warmer climates t encurage them t rest with ffspring (幼崽) during stages when the yung are unable t regulate their wn bdy temperature. S the difference between heat-sensing systems may prvide an advantage.
Cuples chsing separate blankets is ne way t vercme the differences in temperature preferences. In the wrkplace, persnal cmfrt systems are heating systems that heat r cl and can be lcally placed in individual wrk statins such as desktps, chairs, r near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, r ftwarmers. These prvide individualised thermal cmfrt (热舒适) t meet persnal needs withut affecting thers in the same space, and have been fund t prduce higher cmfrt satisfactin in the wrkplace.
12. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A. By giving daily examples.B. By analyzing ffice rules.
C. By mentining an experiment.D. By sharing a persnal experience.
13. What can we knw abut wmen frm paragraph 2?
A. They have less fat than men.B. Their skin usually feels warmer.
C. Their heart rate is higher than men.D. They are mre sensitive t cld.
14. Why des the authr mentin the studies n birds and mammals?
A. T shw their preference fr cld.
B. T prvide mre evidence fr the findings.
C. T intrduce the system f keeping warm.
D. T infrm us f a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Wmen have an advantage.
B. Why d wmen feel cld mre?
C. Hw d we agree n the ideal temperature?
D. Bilgical differences between men and wmen.

It is universally believed that playing an instrument r singing in a chir may bst yur brain. Generatins f parents have tld their children t practice their musical instruments. Parents have gd reasn t keep n tp f their children’s musical educatin, since learning an instrument is nt nly assciated with better educatinal achievement but als cgnitin (认知) and even intelligence scres in children. But des this musicality cntribute t better cgnitin later in life?
A new study in the Internatinal Jurnal f Geriatric Psychiatry investigated this questin by asking middle-aged and lder peple t cmplete a questinnaire n their lifetime musical experience befre cmpleting cgnitive tests. The results shwed that musical peple had better memry and ability t stay fcused n tasks and plans than thse with less r n musicality.
But hw abut being musical withut playing an instrument? Accrding t the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) functin but nt memry, suggesting that playing an instrument has additinal brain health benefits. Why singing wuld help us with ur executive functin is nt clear and requires further investigatin. Hwever, singing has a strng scial benefit when dne in chirs, and there is gd evidence that being invlved in scial activity is gd fr ur brain health.
Playing an instrument r singing seems t have benefits t ur brain health in ageing, accrding t the study. What is yet t be established is whether this wuld als help prevent future cgnitive decline (下降) r dementia. The study prvides n evidence fr this yet and it is als nt clear hw the findings apply t the general ppulatin, since mst peple in the study were female, well-educated and well-ff.
8. What des the new study center n?
A. The cgnitin imprvement by singing in a chir.
B. Musical peple’s ability f keeping fcused n tasks.

【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章探讨了音乐活动，特别是演奏乐器和唱歌，对人脑健康的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Parents have gd reasn t keep n tp f their children’s musical educatin, since learning an instrument is nt nly assciated with better educatinal achievement but als cgnitin (认知) and even intelligence scres in children. But des this musicality cntribute t better cgnitin later in life?(一代又一代的父母都告诉他们的孩子要练习乐器。父母有充分的理由关注孩子的音乐教育，因为学习一种乐器不仅与更好的教育成就有关，而且与孩子的认知甚至智力得分有关。但是，这种音乐性是否有助于以后更好的认知能力呢？)”可知，这项新研究的重点是音乐性对以后更好的认知能力的影响。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The results shwed that musical peple had better memry and ability t stay fcused n tasks and plans than thse with less r n musicality.(结果显示，有音乐天赋的人比那些缺乏或没有音乐天赋的人有更好的记忆力和专注于任务和计划的能力)”以及第三段“But hw abut being musical withut playing an instrument? Accrding t the study findings, singing can result in better executive (决策的) functin but nt memry, suggesting that playing an instrument has additinal brain health benefits.(但是如果不演奏乐器，只是具有音乐性会怎么样呢？根据研究结果，唱歌可以提高决策功能，但不能提高记忆力，这表明演奏乐器对大脑健康有额外的好处)”可知，演奏乐器对大脑健康有额外的好处。由此推知，弹了多年钢琴的玛丽的记忆力最有可能提高。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据后文“The study prvides n evidence fr this yet and it is als nt clear hw the findings apply t the general ppulatin, since mst peple in the study were female, well-educated and well-ff.(这项研究还没有对此提供证据，也不清楚这些发现如何适用于普通人群，因为研究中的大多数人都是受过良好教育的富裕女性)”可知，这项研究还没有对此提供证据，所以不能证明是否也有助于预防未来的认知能力下降或痴呆症。由此推知，划线词established是“证明”之意，和A项意思相近。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Playing an instrument r singing seems t have benefits t ur brain health in ageing, accrding t the study. What is yet t be established is whether this wuld als help prevent future cgnitive decline (下降) r dementia. The study prvides n evidence fr this yet and it is als nt clear hw the findings apply t the general ppulatin, since mst peple in the study were female, well-educated and well-ff.(根据这项研究，演奏乐器或唱歌似乎对我们年老时的大脑健康有益。目前尚不清楚的是，这是否也有助于预防未来的认知能力下降或痴呆症。这项研究还没有对此提供证据，也不清楚这些发现如何适用于普通人群，因为研究中的大多数人都是受过良好教育的富裕女性)”可知，作者即指出了这项研究积极的一面，但是也提到不足之处。由此推知，作者持有客观的态度。故选A项。

It’s a cmmn debate between cuples — the perfect temperature t keep bth warm but nt ht. And the temperature’s setting ften frms the basis f ffice arguments between wmen and men abut the “crrect” temperature. Research des ften shw wmen prefer a higher indr temperature, cmpared with men. But why d wmen feel the cld mre?
With the same bdy weight, wmen tend t have less muscle t prduce heat. Wmen als have mre fat between the skin and the muscles, s the skin feels clder, as it’s slightly further away frm bld vessels. Wmen als tend t have a lwer metablic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat prductin ability during cld expsure, making wmen mre likely t feel cld as the temperature drps. Additinally, the hrmnes mainly fund in wmen make wmen’s hands, feet and ears stay arund three degrees Celsius cler than men’s.
The phenmenn that wmen prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique t humans. Studies n many species f birds and mammals reprt that males cmmnly gather in cler areas where there is shade, while females and the yung stay in warmer envirnments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer t rest at the cl, high peaks f muntains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have develped a preference fr warmer climates t encurage them t rest with ffspring (幼崽) during stages when the yung are unable t regulate their wn bdy temperature. S the difference between heat-sensing systems may prvide an advantage.
Cuples chsing separate blankets is ne way t vercme the differences in temperature preferences. In the wrkplace, persnal cmfrt systems are heating systems that heat r cl and can be lcally placed in individual wrk statins such as desktps, chairs, r near the feet and legs. Examples include small desk fans, heated chairs and blankets, r ftwarmers. These prvide individualised thermal cmfrt (热舒适) t meet persnal needs withut affecting thers in the same space, and have been fund t prduce higher cmfrt satisfactin in the wrkplace.
12. Hw des the authr intrduce the tpic f the passage?
A. By giving daily examples.B. By analyzing ffice rules.
C. By mentining an experiment.D. By sharing a persnal experience.
13. What can we knw abut wmen frm paragraph 2?
A. They have less fat than men.B. Their skin usually feels warmer.
C. Their heart rate is higher than men.D. They are mre sensitive t cld.
14. Why des the authr mentin the studies n birds and mammals?
A. T shw their preference fr cld.
B. T prvide mre evidence fr the findings.
C. T intrduce the system f keeping warm.
D. T infrm us f a new scientific debate.
15. What can be a suitable title fr the passage?
A. Wmen have an advantage.
B. Why d wmen feel cld mre?
C. Hw d we agree n the ideal temperature?
D. Bilgical differences between men and wmen.

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章探讨了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷，并从生物学和生理学的角度解释了这一现象。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It’s a cmmn debate between cuples — the perfect temperature t keep bth warm but nt ht. And the temperature’s setting ften frms the basis f ffice arguments between wmen and men abut the “crrect” temperature. Research des ften shw wmen prefer a higher indr temperature, cmpared with men. But why d wmen feel the cld mre?(这是夫妻之间经常争论的一个问题——怎样的温度既能让双方保持温暖，又不会太热。而温度的设置常常成为办公室里男女之间关于“正确”温度的争论的基础。研究确实经常显示，与男性相比，女性更喜欢较高的室内温度。但为什么女性更容易感到寒冷呢?)”可知，作者通过一些日常的例子来引入文章的主题。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“With the same bdy weight, wmen tend t have less muscle t prduce heat. Wmen als have mre fat between the skin and the muscles, s the skin feels clder, as it’s slightly further away frm bld vessels. Wmen als tend t have a lwer metablic (新陈代谢) rate than men, which reduces heat prductin ability during cld expsure, making wmen mre likely t feel cld as the temperature drps. Additinally, the hrmnes mainly fund in wmen make wmen’s hands, feet and ears stay arund three degrees Celsius cler than men’s.(在相同体重的情况下，女性产生热量的肌肉往往较少。女性在皮肤和肌肉之间也有更多的脂肪，所以皮肤感觉更冷，因为它离血管稍微远一些。女性的新陈代谢率也往往比男性低，这降低了女性在寒冷环境下的产热能力，使女性在气温下降时更容易感到寒冷。此外，主要存在于女性体内的激素使女性的手、脚和耳朵比男性的温度低3摄氏度左右)”可知，从本段我们可以知道女性对寒冷更敏感。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The phenmenn that wmen prefer warmer temperatures isn’t unique t humans. (女性喜欢温暖温度的现象并非人类独有)”和“Studies n many species f birds and mammals reprt that males cmmnly gather in cler areas where there is shade, while females and the yung stay in warmer envirnments where there is sunlight. Male bats prefer t rest at the cl, high peaks f muntains, while females remain in the warmer valleys. Female mammals may have develped a preference fr warmer climates t encurage them t rest with ffspring (幼崽) during stages when the yung are unable t regulate their wn bdy temperature.(对许多鸟类和哺乳动物的研究表明，雄性通常聚集在阴凉的凉爽地区，而雌性和幼崽则呆在有阳光的温暖环境中。雄蝙蝠喜欢在凉爽的山峰上休息，而雌蝙蝠则呆在温暖的山谷里。雌性哺乳动物可能已经形成了对温暖气候的偏好，以鼓励它们在幼崽无法调节自身体温的阶段与后代一起休息)”可知，本段提到鸟类和哺乳动物的研究是为了为研究结果提供更多证据（即女性喜欢温暖温度的现象并非人类独有）。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s a cmmn debate between cuples — the perfect temperature t keep bth warm but nt ht. And the temperature’s setting ften frms the basis f ffice arguments between wmen and men abut the “crrect” temperature. Research des ften shw wmen prefer a higher indr temperature, cmpared with men. But why d wmen feel the cld mre?(这是夫妻之间经常争论的一个问题——怎样的温度既能让双方保持温暖，又不会太热。而温度的设置常常成为办公室里男女之间关于“正确”温度的争论的基础。研究确实经常显示，与男性相比，女性更喜欢较高的室内温度。但为什么女性更容易感到寒冷呢?)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要探讨了为什么女性比男性更容易感到寒冷，所以B项“Why d wmen feel cld mre?(为什么女性更容易感到寒冷?)”是本文最好的标题。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了如何设定并实现目标的方法。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Withut gals, yu may feel like wandering thrugh life withut a plan, purpse, r sense f directin. Despite knwing the imprtance f gals, many peple fail t set a meaningful gal and successfully achieve it.(没有目标，你可能会觉得自己像在没有计划、目的或方向感的生活中徘徊。尽管知道目标的重要性，但许多人都没有设定一个有意义的目标并成功地实现它)”以及后文“Others set lts f gals fr themselves but end up nt achieving them.(其他人为自己设定了很多目标，但最终没有实现)”可知，此处在讲述许多人都没有设定一个有意义的目标并成功地实现它，所以D项“Sme f them dn’t knw where r hw t start.(他们中的一些人不知道从哪里或如何开始)”符合此处主题，且sme和ther构成顺承关系。故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据本段小标题“Set a SMART gal and write it dwn.(设定一个明智的目标并写下来)”可知，C项“Yu then need t turn this int a SMART gal.(然后你需要把它变成一个明智的目标)”符合本段主题，和上文“The first step is t figure ut what yu want r need t change.(第一步是弄清楚你想要或需要改变什么)”是顺承关系，其中SMART为同词复现。故选C项。
【18题详解】
分析设空，为本段小标题，根据后文“After yu identify a SMART gal, the next step is t make a specific plan n exactly hw yu will achieve it. Yu shuld break the gal dwn int a set f actinable steps yu can take.(在你确定了一个明智的目标之后，下一步就是制定一个具体的计划，确切地说你将如何实现它。你应该把目标分解成一系列你可以执行的步骤)”可知，本段主要讲述了制定一个具体的计划来实现目标，所以B项“Make an actin plan t get started.(制定一个行动计划来开始)”符合文意，为本段主题。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Yu shuld break the gal dwn int a set f actinable steps yu can take.(你应该把目标分解成一系列你可以执行的步骤)”可知，G项“Identify the skills and strategies yu need t cmplete each step.(确定完成每一步所需的技巧和策略)”是对前文的进一步说明，其中step为同词复现。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据前文“Early n, it can be better t make small changes t yur daily rutine than t make big changes all at nce. Cnsistency is key when it cmes t wrking twards any gal. Research has shwn that it takes an average persn 66 days t frm a new habit.(在早期，对你的日常生活做一些小的改变比一次做出大的改变要好。坚持是实现任何目标的关键。研究表明，一个人平均需要66天才能形成一个新习惯)”可知，F项“Once this happens, the new behavir has becme “autmatic”.(一旦这种情况发生，新的行为就变成了“自动的”)”是对前文的进一步说明，而后文“It n lnger requires as much attentin, time, and effrt as befre, thus bsting yur cnfidence and keeping yu n the track f achieving yur gal.(它不再像以前那样需要那么多的注意力、时间和努力，从而增强了你的信心，让你走在实现目标的轨道上)”则是对F项进一步说明。故选F项。

【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意：按照中国新年穿新衣的传统，中国的年轻人将汉服的购买推向了一个新的高度，并使其成为一种流行。此处是固定搭配：make sth. a hit意为“使某事大受欢迎”。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：今年春节期间，在世界各地的许多地方都可以看到年轻人穿着中国的传统服装汉服。see作本句谓语，和主语Yung peple之间是被动关系，用被动语态，根据时间状语during this year’s Spring Festival hliday可知，用一般过去时。故填were seen。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：一月底，社交媒体平台“小红书”发起了一项活动，邀请用户上传自己在世界各地地标建筑中穿着汉服的照片或视频。此处是固定搭配：invite sb. t d sth.意为“请某人做某事”。故填t uplad。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：该活动的前两周，约有1万名小红书用户分享了他们在全球约30个国家和地区拍摄的照片。本句已有谓语动词saw，所以take用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语phts之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填taken。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：一位用户甚至发布了来自南极洲的照片。pst作本句谓语，描述的是已发生的事，用一般过去时。故填psted。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：许多汉服的支持者认为，强烈的民族自豪感促使他们穿上汉服。本句真正的主语是后文that引导的主语从句，所以空处应填it作形式主语。故填it。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：汉服，以及其他传统形式的中国服装，近年来变得非常流行。空处修饰空后的形容词，应该用副词修饰。故填extremely。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：中国的许多大学都有一个汉服协会，其成员穿着汉服庆祝中国的传统节日。空处引导定语从句，先行词是hanfu sciety，在从句中作定语，用whse引导。故填whse。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“新中国风”将中国传统元素与现代设计相结合，不仅在中国，而且在全世界的年轻一代中已经发展成为一种时尚潮流。本句已有谓语动词has develped，所以cmbine用非谓语形式，和逻辑主语The “new Chinese style”之间是主动关系，用现在分词形式。故填cmbining。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：分析人士表示，“中国风”的兴起显示了中国年轻人对自己文化的信心。空前是名词所有格，所以空处应填名词作宾语，cnfident的名词形式是cnfidence。故填cnfidence。
