I was at the grcery shp picking up last-minute items fr Easter dinner when I sptted frm the crner f my eye the mst wnderful flwer I had ever seen. It was, as I later learned, a peny(牡丹).
“They’re s beautiful, aren’t they?” said the cashier.
“Yes,” I replied, pleased that I was ging t buy myself flwers. I’d never dne this befre. On the way hme, I wndered why I had never really been drawn t any flwers befre. After all, I’d been n this earth fr ver half a century.
Grwing up in England, my immigrant(移民)family viewed flwers as unnecessary since survival was ur pririty. Dad wrked n the railways, and Mm, befre her illness, wrked in a factry. Our small garden was filled with vegetables instead f flwers, as Mm and Dad ften said, “These will keep us alive if we can’t get them frm the shp.”
We als built an undergrund ven, where Mm and Dad wuld make flatbread the way they had made it back hme. The smell f this flatbread cmfrted us and make us take rt in England.
When Mther’s Day came, Mm wuld say, “Why waste mney n flwers? They’ll just die. Buy shes r cats instead.” S, we kids made fd fr her at hme.

Many think that language is what sets humans apart frm ther animals, and believe that t think, we need language. British philspher Bertrand Russell even reprted in 1948 that n intelligent thinking can take place withut language. Hwever, a recent Nature study suggests therwise. It fund that language and thught are tw distinct entities (实体), wrking in separate parts f the brain. They are, in shrt, “far mre independent than we imagined”, wrte ZME Science.
The study, cnducted by scientists frm the US, explred the language-thught relatinship, using tw research methds. First, they studied peple with glbal aphasia (全失语症), wh have lst much f their ability t understand r speak due t damage t the left side f their brain. Hwever, they can still finish cmplex tasks. “Yu can ask peple with glbal aphasia t slve math prblems r perfrm scial reasning tests, and as lng as the instructins are nn-verbal (非语言的), they can succeed,” Evelina Fedrenk, ne f the study’s authrs at the US Massachusetts Institute f Technlgy, tld ZME Science.
The researchers als used brain-imaging (脑成像) tls t study the brains f healthy vlunteers perfrming nn-verbal tasks, like slving puzzles and planning. They fund that the brain’s language areas were mstly inactive during-such activities. In ther wrds, we generally need language t express ur thughts but we can still think withut wrds.
S, if language isn’t necessary fr thinking, then why did humans develp it? Fedrenk said language serves mainly as a tl fr cmmunicatin. “Amng mst f the things that yu learned abut the wrld, yu learned thrugh language and nt thrugh direct experience with the wrld,” she said. By being able t share cmplex infrmatin thrugh language, humans gained an evlutinary advantage.
Althugh language des nt give rise t thughts, past research shws that hw we speak can heavily influence hw we think. Fr example, the English phrase “he fired the gun” is usually understd as “the gun went ff” in Japanese. As a result, English speakers are mre likely t fcus n the persn respnsible fr an accident than Japanese speakers, accrding t Psychlgy Tday.
28. What des the underlined wrd “distinct” mean?
A. Different.B. Dependent.C. Exact.D. Similar.
29. What can be learnt abut the peple with “glbal aphasia”?
A. They have lst all their ability t talk.
B. They behave inactively during physical activities.
C. They can carry ut scial reasning tests fllwing nnverbal directins.
D. They can perfrm better in slving math prblems than healthy peple.
30. Why is language needed accrding t the text?
A. It makes human thinking pssible.
B. It benefits peple t gain experience.
C. It serves as the nly tl fr human learning.
D. It enables infrmatin t be understd by humans.
31. What des the text mainly talk abut?
A. Language shapes the way we think.
B. Humans can think independently f language.
C. Language and thught are cmpletely related.
D. Humans can live withut thinking and language.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了语言和思维的关系，指出两者是独立的，语言并非思考的必要条件，但语言在交流和影响思维方式上起重要的作用。
【28题详解】词句猜测题。根据第一段“It fund that language and thught are tw distinct entities (实体), wrking in separate parts f the brain. They are, in shrt, “far mre independent than we imagined”, wrte ZME Science. (研究发现，语言和思维是两个distinct实体，在大脑的不同部位工作。简而言之，它们“比我们想象的要独立得多”，ZME Science写道)”可知，语言和思维是互相独立的，也就是二者并不相同。由此可知，划线词distinct意为“不同的”。故选A项。
【29题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Yu can ask peple with glbal aphasia t slve math prblems r perfrm scial reasning tests, and as lng as the instructins are nn-verbal (非语言的), they can succeed. (你可以要求患有全失语症的人解决数学问题或进行社会推理测试，只要指导是非语言的，他们就能成功)”可知，患有全失语症的人可以在非语言指导下完成社会推理测试。故选C项。
【30题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Fedrenk said language serves mainly as a tl fr cmmunicatin. By being able t share cmplex infrmatin thrugh language, humans gained an evlutinary advantage. (Fedrenk说，语言主要是一种交流工具。通过语言分享复杂信息，人类获得了进化优势)”可推知，语言的主要作用是帮助人们理解和交流信息。故选D项。
【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“It fund that language and thught are tw distinct entities(实体), wrking in separate parts f the brain. They are, in shrt, “far mre independent than we imagined”, wrte ZME Science. (研究发现，语言和思维是两个不同地的实体，在大脑的不同部位工作。简而言之，它们“比我们想象的要独立得多”，ZME Science写道)”可知，文章主要探讨了语言和思维之间的关系，特别是语言是否是人类进行思考的必要条件。由此可知，本文的主要讲述了人类可以在没有语言的情况下独立思考。故选B项。

N matter hw bright and clear big cities can be, the birds living there might be getting less clrful. A recent study published in the jurnal Landscape and Planning lked at 547 bird species in China and fund that city birds have darker clrs than village birds.
Urbanizatin may have reduced the brightness f their clrs. Fr city birds that lk dirty, even if we gave them a gd clean, they still wuldn’t be as bright as village birds. This is because pllutin, especially heavy metals, can interact with melanin (黑色素)in birds bdies. Melanin is the pigment (色素) that makes feathers black, brwn and grey.
Studies shwed that melanin can mix with heavy metals like lead in the envirnment and prduce txic cmpunds (有毒化合物). These txic cmpunds are mre likely t be stred in the feathers f birds. Surprisingly, this can give them a survival advantage. Kevin McGraw, a bilgist at Michigan State University in the US, tld The New Yrk Times, “The mre melanin yu make, the better able yu are t separate these harmful cmpunds in feathers.” Fr string the harmful cmpunds in their feathers, these birds prevent them frm entering their bdies, where they culd cause mre damage. This is why there are mre darker birds in city areas.
Furthermre, city pllutin causes city trees t stre fewer cartenids (类胡萝卜素)cmpared t village plants. Cartenids are natural pigments that make red peppers red and carrts range. Just as eating cartenid-rich carrts can give human skin a little dark, eating cartenid-rich wrms that feed n tree leaves makes birds’ feathers yellw, range and red.
“Birds cannt prduce cartenids,” German bird expert Kaspar Delhey tld The New Yrk Times. “They need t get them frm their fd.” Withut a cartenid-rich diet, the clr f their feathers wn’t change. Cartenids als help birds stay healthy by supprting their immune (免疫的)systems. Therefre, birds that dn’t get enugh f these pigments might nt be as healthy.
The dull clrs f city birds are nt just abut lks; they are a warning sign. “It means that the habitat might be f lwer quality,” Delhey said.
32. What d we learn abut melanin?
A. It is a heavy metal.B. It des damage t birds.
C. It makes birds appear darker.D. It is a prduct f city pllutin n birds.
33. Hw d the txic cmpunds affect the city birds?
A. They are friendly t birds’ feathers.
B. They have an advantage ver melanin.
C. They can’t be prevented in the city bird bdies.
D. They are respnsible fr mre darker birds in cities.
34. What is the crrect descriptin f cartenids?
A. Cartenids are prduced in bird bdies.
B. Cartenids can serve as immune medicine.
C. Cartenids stre in trees is reduced fr city pllutin.
D. Cartenid-rich carrts are necessary fd fr birds with clrful feathers.
35. What is the purpse f the passage?
A. T disclse that city birds have wrse living cnditins.
B. T explain the reasn why birds lack healthy fd supplies.
C. T express that city birds depend mre n txic cmpunds.
D. T stress that city birds have gained advantages ver village birds.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. C 35. A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是城市鸟类羽毛颜色变暗的原因及其反映的城市生态环境问题。
【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Melanin is the pigment (色素) that makes feathers black, brwn and grey.(黑色素是使羽毛呈现黑色、棕色和灰色的色素。)”可知，黑色素会让鸟类看起来颜色更深。故选C项。
【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Studies shwed that melanin can mix with heavy metals like lead in the envirnment and prduce txic cmpunds (有毒化合物).

【56题详解】考查动词时态。句意：在过去一年里，中国在全球舞台上的文化吸引力持续增长、蓬勃发展，全球文明倡议也在全球范围内获得越来越多的支持。根据时间状语“Over the past year”可知，此处表示动作从过去持续到现在，且可能继续进行，需用现在完成时或现在完成进行时；主语为China’s cultural attractin，助动词用has。故填has kept/has been keeping。
【57题详解】考查定语从句。句意：越来越多的中国青年开始接受本国传承数千年的传统文化，这种文化可追溯至数千年前。空处引导非限定性定语从句，修饰先行词traditinal culture，并在从句中作主语，应该使用关系代词which。故填which。
【58题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：与他们父母那一代相比，他们开始在相对较早的年龄了解传统文化。句子中已经存在谓语start，所以cmpare应该转化为非谓语，它与主语they之间是被动关系，需用过去分词形式作状语，还要注意首字母大写。故填Cmpared。

【63题详解】考查名词。句意：他们相信，国家的强大为传统文化的传承提供了坚实的基础。定冠词the后需接名词，故将形容词strng变为名词strength（力量），作宾语从句的主语。故填strength。
【64题详解】考查连词。句意：曾经，许多外国人学习中文是出于对中国丰富历史和文化的好奇。histry和culture表示并列关系，需用连词and连接。故填and。
【65题详解】考查冠词。句意：如今，他们对中文痴迷不已，因为中国不仅是世界第二大经济体，更是创新与突破的灵感源泉。surce是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且surce发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a。故填a。

Sara was a high schl student wh was knwn fr her hard wrk and desire fr perfectin. Whenever a task was given t her by the teachers, she always wanted t d it perfectly. This sense f respnsibility made her a favrite amng teachers, but it als placed heavy pressure n her shulders. She feared making mistakes and wuld ften stress ver even the smallest f errrs.
One day, a painting cmpetitin was annunced at the schl. Sara eagerly decided t participate in the cmpetitin. Painting had always been ne f her favrite hbbies, and she lved the idea f cmpeting. The winner wuld receive a prize, and while that sunded great, Sara was glad t have the chance t prve herself. Hwever, this time painting didn’t feel fun. Each time she picked up her brush, a heavy feeling f anxiety cluded her thughts. The fear f nt being the best in the cmpetitin cntrlled her.
As days passed, it became increasingly difficult fr Sara t cncentrate. While ther participants were making prgress, Sara was caught in her thughts. She culdn’t even decide what t paint. Images f her cmpetitrs cnfidently wrking n their pieces filled her with a sense f inability. With nly tw days left befre the cmpetitin, Sara’s anxiety grew wrse. She spent the entire day with negative thughts, feeling unwrthy and untalented.
At schl, Sara saw her classmates clse t finishing their artwrk, their laughter and excitement ging sharply against her internal struggles. The pressure t perfrm perfectly had turned int an intense fear that kept her frm even picking up a brush. Sara began t dubt her abilities, believing that she culdn’t finish anything well. She felt lst in a cycle f anxiety, and the jy she nce fund in painting seemed t fade further away. With each passing mment, she questined whether she shuld even participate at all, fearing that failure wuld nly prve her wrst beliefs in herself.
Paragraph 1:
Seeing Sara’s truble, her teacher asked her t cme t him and shwed her a beautiful glass cup.

____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
Seeing Sara’s truble, her teacher asked her t cme t him and shwed her a beautiful glass cup. Sara had never seen such a beautiful glass piece befre. But suddenly, the cup slipped frm her teacher’s hands and brke int pieces. A wave f sadness spread ver her face. Her teacher lked at her face and said sftly, “Beauty lies in imperfectin and welcming imperfectin is an act f self-lve and acceptance.” Then he began repairing the cup with glden glue, making it even mre beautiful than befre and gave the cup t Sara as a gift.
Paragraph 2:
Lking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting n her teacher’s wrds, Sara decided t paint withut wrrying abut perfectin. As Sara let g f her anxiety, her painting became mre beautiful. On the cmpetitin day, Sara accidentally spilled water n the painting befre submitting it, but instead f panicking, she calmly added raindrps t her artwrk, making it even better than befre. When the results were annunced, Sara wn the secnd prize. She was happy abut the result but, mre imprtantly, she learned a valuable lessn: Being perfect all the time isn’t necessary, because beauty lies in imperfectin, and accepting small faults makes us human.
