The last time I visited my parents, I brrwed a nvel frm the shelves in my ld bedrm. The bks there nce belnged t me, but ver the decades, my father has taken ver the space. It’s fitting.
I grew up in a huse full f bks, free t explre anything, as lng as I returned it. But that’s harder nw. My parents, in their 80s, still live in Manhattan, while I’m in Ls Angeles. The bk I grabbed was a nvel by S. A. Csby. At first, I was surprised my father knew f him, but why nt? Fr as lng as I can remember, he’s been a regular at his neighbrhd bkstre. He used t say he wuldn’t mind aging as lng as he culd read. Even nw, I ften find him with a bk, thugh I fear he’s begun t fall ut f the narrative (叙述).
I didn’t read the bk until I was back in Suthern Califrnia. I didn’t want my father t knw I had the bk. I didn’t want him t feel any stress abut it, thugh the tw f us have been talking bks ever since I was 12. I didn’t want t knw what he might r might nt recall.
Opening it felt like pening a cnversatin with my father, retracing his steps and reading thrugh his eyes. I enjyed the nvel, thugh that’s beside the pint. What struck me mst was a pltline abut feeling sad fr ne’s parents, a prcess I’m beginning t understand. When I finished, I ran my fingers ver my father’s mark n the cver, thse letters he’d pressed int the cver with a hand-held metal press, spelling ut a name the same as mine. Then I slipped the bk int my suitcase, certain t return it next time I visit.
24. Why is it fitting fr the father t take ver the authr’s ld space?
A. Because bth are attached t reading.
B. Because the father lves cllecting bks.
C. Because the authr’s bks are preserved there.
D. Because the father needs space fr bkshelves.
25. Why did the authr nt want his father t knw he had the bk?
A. T put the bk int his wn cllectin.
B. T avid pressure n his father t discuss it.
C. T free his father frm t much reading.
D. T maintain a sense f privacy in reading.
26. Hw did the authr feel while reading Csby’s nvel?

Cats perfrm better than human babies n a simple measure f language cmprehensin. The research, published Oct. 4 in the jurnal Scientific Reprts, revealed that. Research in the past five years has shwn that cats can recgnize nt nly their wn names but thse f familiar humans and animals. But can they assciate wrds and bjects mre generally?
T test this thery, Sah Takagi and her team gave 31 adult cats a simple wrd game used t investigate the same ability in human babies. The cats were shwn tw nine-secnd cartn clips (电影片段) with recrdings f their wners repeating a made-up wrd ver each image. The tw clips-a red sun labeled “param” and a blue unicrn with the wrd “keraru”-were repeated until the cats appeared t get bred and paid 50% less attentin t the screen.
After a shrt break, the image clips were repeated, but this time, half f the pairings were switched. The switched clips visibly affected the cats, with recrdings f “param” alngside the unicrn and “keraru” with the sun hlding their interest an average f 15% lnger. That the cats nticed this change and were clearly perplexed by it is gd evidence that they had frmed a link between the wrds and images, written in the study.
The experiment revealed that the cats were able t learn the cmbinatins frm just tw nine-secnd expsures - significantly faster than babies, wh required at least fur 20-secnd trials.
Hwever, these cmparisns shuld nt be verinterpreted. “Yu’re cmparing an adult animal with an immature animal frm a different species,” said Dr. Carl Siracusa, an animal behavirist at the University f Pennsylvania. “Mrever, a certain number f the cats have t be excluded, s there’s already a bias (偏见)-nt a fault f the research. Interacting with cats in the experiment is n easy task.” he added. Despite its limitatins, the study des shw that cats are capable f frming picture-wrd assciatins, the team wrte in the paper, althugh whether this is an inbrn ability r a prduct f dmesticatin remains a mystery.
28. Why did Sah Takagi and her team carry ut the experiment?
A. T test cats’ recgnitin f familiar names.
B. T explre cats’ wrd-bject assciatin ability.
C. T reveal cats’ secret f language understanding.
D. T cmpare cats’ memry with that f human babies.
29. What is presented in paragraph 2?
A. Data cllectin.B. Result analysis.
C. Practical examples.D. Experimental methds.
30. What des the underlined wrd “perplexed” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Attracted.B. Surprised.
C. Frightened.D. Cnfused.
31. What is ne limitatin f the study, as mentined by Dr. Carl Siracusa?
A. It’s difficult t engage cats.
B. There’re nt enugh clips invlved.
C. The cats tested are chsen randmly.
D. Similarities between species are ignred.

There is a tendency amng hw-t enthusiasts t talk abut creativity as if it had fixed gals: things yu knw frm the start will turn ut t be nvels r symphnies (交响乐). Writers and musicians wh have suffered many failures knw this is an unlikely task. If they have t talk abut it, they use “artistic visin” and leave it at that. Hwever, experience tells me that creativity ften lies t ne side f a declared aim.
Sme yung writers are attracted by the idea that they can identify a mdel and knck ut a thriller. Well, maybe s, but nvels can take n cuntless shapes. The prblem becmes clear when yu start wrk creatively, because the need t believe in a fixed gal will hld yu back.
Scientists call this need the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists t favur knwn methds in prblem-slving at the expense f alternatives. It is als a gd way f describing what can happen when an artistic apprach stps prducing results. A few years ag, when I finished Murmur, a nvel abut Alan Turing, I knew I wuldn’t be wrking that way again. Nevertheless, I tried a secnd histrical fictin. Failed. Meanwhile, I was playing the pian and cmpsing n the side, which wrked nicely.
S, the side-lng view is imprtant. The wrld f nature als ffers similar cases. Insects and sme birds rely less n an inbuilt map f the wrld t lcate fd than n what they see when they are mving. When a bee flies sideways, generating mtin parallax (运动视差), a flwer can be clearly lcated.
Perhaps, artistic visin is a part f physical seeing, where lking frm different angles is mre imprtant than staring straight at smething. Creative prjects and artistic visin cme frm ur inbrn respnse t the wrld arund us. And since the wrld is always changing, s is ur creativity — it’s never fixed r set in stne.
32. Hw d writers and musicians view creativity in the first paragraph?
A. It has uncertainties.B. It is hidden in failures.
C. It cmes with a fixed gal.D. It is limited t specific fields.
33. What made the authr fail in the creatin f the fictin?
A. Influence f the set effect.B. Lacking histrical knwledge.
C. Trying a new artistic apprach.D. Distractin frm playing the pian.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Explanatin f the set effect.B. Deep research int insect life.
C. Supprting evidence in nature.D. Dubts n insects’ inbrn abilities.
35. What des the authr suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Staying flexible.B. Living t the fullest.
C. Keeping explring.D. Hlding n t yur gal.

The last time I visited my parents, I brrwed a nvel frm the shelves in my ld bedrm. The bks there nce belnged t me, but ver the decades, my father has taken ver the space. It’s fitting.
I grew up in a huse full f bks, free t explre anything, as lng as I returned it. But that’s harder nw. My parents, in their 80s, still live in Manhattan, while I’m in Ls Angeles. The bk I grabbed was a nvel by S. A. Csby. At first, I was surprised my father knew f him, but why nt? Fr as lng as I can remember, he’s been a regular at his neighbrhd bkstre. He used t say he wuldn’t mind aging as lng as he culd read. Even nw, I ften find him with a bk, thugh I fear he’s begun t fall ut f the narrative (叙述).
I didn’t read the bk until I was back in Suthern Califrnia. I didn’t want my father t knw I had the bk. I didn’t want him t feel any stress abut it, thugh the tw f us have been talking bks ever since I was 12. I didn’t want t knw what he might r might nt recall.
Opening it felt like pening a cnversatin with my father, retracing his steps and reading thrugh his eyes. I enjyed the nvel, thugh that’s beside the pint. What struck me mst was a pltline abut feeling sad fr ne’s parents, a prcess I’m beginning t understand. When I finished, I ran my fingers ver my father’s mark n the cver, thse letters he’d pressed int the cver with a hand-held metal press, spelling ut a name the same as mine. Then I slipped the bk int my suitcase, certain t return it next time I visit.
24. Why is it fitting fr the father t take ver the authr’s ld space?

细节理解题。根据第二段中“I grew up in a huse full f bks, free t explre anything, as lng as I returned it. (我在一个充满书籍的房子里长大，可以自由探索任何书籍，只要我归还它们)”和“Fr as lng as I can remember, he’s been a regular at his neighbrhd bkstre. He used t say he wuldn’t mind aging as lng as he culd read. Even nw, I ften find him with a bk, thugh I fear he’s begun t fall ut f the narrative (叙述). (从我记事起，他就一直是附近书店的常客。他过去常说，只要还能阅读，他就不介意变老。即使现在，我经常看到他手里拿着一本书，尽管我担心他已经开始跟不上故事情节了)”可知，父亲接管作者的旧空间是合适的，因为两人都对阅读有着深厚的感情。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“I didn’t want my father t knw I had the bk. I didn’t want him t feel any stress abut it, thugh the tw f us have been talking bks ever since I was 12. I didn’t want t knw what he might r might nt recall. (我不想让父亲知道我拿了这本书。我不想让他因此感到任何压力，尽管我们俩从我12岁起就一直在讨论书籍。我也不想知道他可能记得或可能不记得的内容)”可知，作者这样做事希望避免让父亲感到需要讨论这本书的压力。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Opening it felt like pening a cnversatin with my father, retracing his steps and reading thrugh his eyes. (打开它就像打开了与父亲的对话，追溯他的脚步，通过他的眼睛阅读)”可知，作者在阅读时感到与父亲有某种联系。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要以作者拿了一本父亲读过的书来阅读为线索展开，讲述了作者读这本书前不希望父亲知道自己拿了这本书，在阅读时感受到与父亲的对话，并通过父亲的视角理解故事，决定之后和父亲一起讨论这本书，这展现了父子之间通过书籍建立的情感联系。因此，B项“通过书籍传递的爱”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。
C
Cats perfrm better than human babies n a simple measure f language cmprehensin. The research, published Oct. 4 in the jurnal Scientific Reprts, revealed that. Research in the past five years has shwn that cats can recgnize nt nly their wn names but thse f familiar humans and animals. But can they assciate wrds and bjects mre generally?
T test this thery, Sah Takagi and her team gave 31 adult cats a simple wrd game used t investigate the same ability in human babies. The cats were shwn tw nine-secnd cartn clips (电影片段) with recrdings f their wners repeating a made-up wrd ver each image. The tw clips-a red sun labeled “param” and a blue unicrn with the wrd “keraru”-were repeated until the cats appeared t get bred and paid 50% less attentin t the screen.
After a shrt break, the image clips were repeated, but this time, half f the pairings were switched. The switched clips visibly affected the cats, with recrdings f “param” alngside the unicrn and “keraru” with the sun hlding their interest an average f 15% lnger. That the cats nticed this change and were clearly perplexed by it is gd evidence that they had frmed a link between the wrds and images, written in the study.
The experiment revealed that the cats were able t learn the cmbinatins frm just tw nine-secnd expsures - significantly faster than babies, wh required at least fur 20-secnd trials.
Hwever, these cmparisns shuld nt be verinterpreted. “Yu’re cmparing an adult animal with an immature animal frm a different species,” said Dr. Carl Siracusa, an animal behavirist at the University f Pennsylvania. “Mrever, a certain number f the cats have t be excluded, s there’s already a bias (偏见)-nt a fault f the research. Interacting with cats in the experiment is n easy task.” he added. Despite its limitatins, the study des shw that cats are capable f frming picture-wrd assciatins, the team wrte in the paper, althugh whether this is an inbrn ability r a prduct f dmesticatin remains a mystery.
28. Why did Sah Takagi and her team carry ut the experiment?
A. T test cats’ recgnitin f familiar names.
B. T explre cats’ wrd-bject assciatin ability.
C. T reveal cats’ secret f language understanding.
D. T cmpare cats’ memry with that f human babies.
29. What is presented in paragraph 2?
A. Data cllectin.B. Result analysis.
C. Practical examples.D. Experimental methds.
30. What des the underlined wrd “perplexed” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Attracted.B. Surprised.
C. Frightened.D. Cnfused.
31. What is ne limitatin f the study, as mentined by Dr. Carl Siracusa?
A. It’s difficult t engage cats.
B. There’re nt enugh clips invlved.
C. The cats tested are chsen randmly.
D Similarities between species are ignred.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究表明，猫在简单的语言理解能力上表现得比人类婴儿更好，它们能够将单词和图像联系起来，但这项研究也有一定的局限性。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。第一段提到“But can they assciate wrds and bjects mre generally.(但它们能更普遍地将单词和物体联系起来吗？)”和第二段“T test this thery, Sah Takagi and her team gave 31 adult cats a simple wrd game used t investigate the same ability in human babies.(为了测试这一理论，Sah Takagi和她的团队让31只成年猫玩了一个简单的文字游戏，这个游戏用来调查人类婴儿是否具有同样的能力。)”可知，Sah Takagi和她的团队进行这个实验是为了探索猫的单词-物体联想能力。故选B项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“T test this thery, Sah Takagi and her team gave 31 adult cats a simple wrd game used t investigate the same ability in human babies. The cats were shwn tw nine-secnd cartn clips (电影片段) with recrdings f their wners repeating a made-up wrd ver each image.

【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“The switched clips visibly affected the cats, with recrdings f “param” alngside the unicrn and “keraru” with the sun hlding their interest an average f 15% lnger.(交换后的视频片段明显影响了猫， param的录音与独角兽一起播放，以及keraru的录音与太阳一起播放，平均吸引了它们15%更长时间的注意力)”以及“That the cats nticed this change and were clearly … by it is gd evidence that they had frmed a link between the wrds and images, written in the study.(研究报告中写道，猫注意到了这种变化，并且显然被它……，这是它们已经在单词和图像之间建立了联系的有力证据)”可知猫对交换后的片段明显有反应，兴趣平均延长了15%，可推测猫是对这种变化感到困惑，所以“perplexed”意思是“困惑的”，与“Cnfused”同义，故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Interacting with cats in the experiment is n easy task.(在实验中与猫互动并非易事)”可知，卡罗・西拉库萨博士提到的研究局限性之一是很难让猫参与进来，即很难与猫互动，故选A项。
D
There is a tendency amng hw-t enthusiasts t talk abut creativity as if it had fixed gals: things yu knw frm the start will turn ut t be nvels r symphnies (交响乐). Writers and musicians wh have suffered many failures knw this is an unlikely task. If they have t talk abut it, they use “artistic visin” and leave it at that. Hwever, experience tells me that creativity ften lies t ne side f a declared aim.
Sme yung writers are attracted by the idea that they can identify a mdel and knck ut a thriller. Well, maybe s, but nvels can take n cuntless shapes. The prblem becmes clear when yu start wrk creatively, because the need t believe in a fixed gal will hld yu back.
Scientists call this need the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists t favur knwn methds in prblem-slving at the expense f alternatives. It is als a gd way f describing what can happen when an artistic apprach stps prducing results. A few years ag, when I finished Murmur, a nvel abut Alan Turing, I knew I wuldn’t be wrking that way again. Nevertheless, I tried a secnd histrical fictin. Failed. Meanwhile, I was playing the pian and cmpsing n the side, which wrked nicely.
S, the side-lng view is imprtant. The wrld f nature als ffers similar cases. Insects and sme birds rely less n an inbuilt map f the wrld t lcate fd than n what they see when they are mving. When a bee flies sideways, generating mtin parallax (运动视差), a flwer can be clearly lcated.
Perhaps, artistic visin is a part f physical seeing, where lking frm different angles is mre imprtant than staring straight at smething. Creative prjects and artistic visin cme frm ur inbrn respnse t the wrld arund us. And since the wrld is always changing, s is ur creativity — it’s never fixed r set in stne.
32. Hw d writers and musicians view creativity in the first paragraph?
A. It has uncertainties.B. It is hidden in failures.
C. It cmes with a fixed gal.D. It is limited t specific fields.
33. What made the authr fail in the creatin f the fictin?
A. Influence f the set effect.B. Lacking histrical knwledge.
C. Trying a new artistic apprach.D. Distractin frm playing the pian.
34. What is paragraph 4 mainly abut?
A. Explanatin f the set effect.B. Deep research int insect life.
C. Supprting evidence in nature.D. Dubts n insects’ inbrn abilities.
35. What des the authr suggest in the last paragraph?
A. Staying flexible.B. Living t the fullest.
C. Keeping explring.D. Hlding n t yur gal.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了创造力的不确定性，指出固定目标和方法会限制创意，强调从多角度观察和灵活应对变化是激发创造力的关键。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“There is a tendency amng hw-t enthusiasts t talk abut creativity as if it had fixed gals: things yu knw frm the start will turn ut t be nvels r symphnies (交响乐). Writers and musicians wh have suffered many failures knw this is an unlikely task. (在那些热衷于“如何做”的人中，有一种倾向是谈论创造力，仿佛它有固定的目标：从一开始就知道会变成小说或交响乐的东西。经历过多次失败的作家和音乐家知道，这几乎是不可能的任务)”可知，作家和音乐家认识到创造力具有不确定性，不是从一开始就有固定目标的。故选A项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scientists call this need the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists t favur knwn methds in prblem-slving at the expense f alternatives. It is als a gd way f describing what can happen when an artistic apprach stps prducing results. A few years ag, when I finished Murmur, a nvel abut Alan Turing, I knew I wuldn’t be wrking that way again. Nevertheless, I tried a secnd histrical fictin. Failed. (科学家将这种需求称为定势效应。研究发现，人们在解决问题时普遍倾向于使用已知方法，而忽视了其他选择。这也是描述当一种艺术方法不再产生结果时会发生什么的一种好方式。几年前，当我完成了Murmur——一部关于艾伦·图灵的小说时，我知道我不会再以那种方式工作了。然而，我还是尝试了第二部历史小说，结果失败了)”可知，作者在创作小说时失败，是因为他试图重复之前的方式，受到了定势效应的影响。故选A项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“S, the side-lng view is imprtant. The wrld f nature als ffers similar cases. Insects and sme birds rely less n an inbuilt map f the wrld t lcate fd than n what they see when they are mving. When a bee flies sideways, generating mtin parallax (运动视差), a flwer can be clearly lcated. (因此，从侧面着眼很重要。自然界也提供了类似的例子。昆虫和一些鸟类在寻找食物时，较少依赖内置的世界地图，而是更多地依靠它们在移动时看到的东西。当蜜蜂侧飞时，产生运动视差，花朵的位置就能被清晰地确定)”可知，本段主要通过昆虫和鸟类的例子说明从侧面着眼的重要性，提供了自然界的支持证据。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps, artistic visin is a part f physical seeing, where lking frm different angles is mre imprtant than staring straight at smething. Creative prjects and artistic visin cme frm ur inbrn respnse t the wrld arund us. And since the wrld is always changing, s is ur creativity — it’s never fixed r set in stne. (或许，艺术愿景是物理视觉的一部分，从不同角度观察比直盯着某样东西更为重要。创意项目和艺术愿景源于我们对周围世界与生俱来的反应。既然世界总是在变化，我们的创造力也是如此——它从来不是固定不变的)”可知，作者认为创造力也应该是灵活的，需用从多角度出发，而不是固定不变的。由此可知，作者建议保持灵活。故选A项。

Sctt’s study cncluded that peple are nt naturally biased t fcus n smene’s face. Instead, they are drawn t the bdy parts that prvide the mst relevant infrmatin. ___40___ But when smene is perfrming a manual task, it’s the hands that draw the gaze. This als explains why magicians ften talk t engage their audience’s attentin n their faces while perfrming tricks with their hands.
A. S, what causes such stares?
B. But it’s nt just eyes that draw stares.
C. The eyes, cntain scially relevant infrmatin.

【40题详解】
根据上文“Sctt’s study cncluded that peple are nt naturally biased t fcus n smene’s face. Instead, they are drawn t the bdy parts that prvide the mst relevant infrmatin.(斯科特的研究得出的结论是，人们不会自然地偏向于关注别人的脸。相反，它们会被吸引到提供最相关信息的身体部位)”可知，本句承接上文，具体说明被吸引到关注的身体部位是什么。故E选项“如果有人在说话，眼睛会吸引注意力”符合语境，故选E。

【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：从火车窗口往外看，加拿大的山脉和森林显得很辽阔。句中谓语是lked，空格处用非谓语动词，the muntains and frests f Canada和see之间是逻辑动宾关系，因此用过去分词，作状语，位于句首，首字母大写，故填Seen。

【61题详解】
考查介词。句意：Gitt di Bndne是中世纪时期极具代表性的艺术家之一，其作品之所以脱颖而出，尤其在于他笔下人物面孔所展现出的写实感。in particular是固定短语，意为“特别，尤其”，因此空格处用介词in，故填in。

【65题详解】
考查副词。句意：在莫奈的画作《日出·印象》中，他试图传达的并非场景本身的细致描绘，而是画面中光影的流动感与瞬息万变的氛围。由“nt a detailed recrd f the scene itself”可知，句子表示“在莫奈的画作《日出·印象》中，他试图传达的并非场景本身的细致描绘，而是画面中光影的流动感与瞬息万变的氛围”，空格处意为“但是”，用but，故填but。
