She was a woman of few words, but her presence filled our home with warmth. I remember sitting beside her as she knitted by the window. The soft click of her knitting needles and the gentle rhythm of her movements were like a lullaby. She never told me she loved me in words, but I felt it in every gesture — the way she saved me the largest piece of cake, the way she stroked my hair when I was sick. In high school, I moved away from home to attend a boarding school. I missed my grandmother terribly. During the holidays, I would rush back home just to sit with her again. One day, I found a small notebook in her drawer. It was filled with her handwriting — not poems or stories, but simple notes about my life: “Emma got an A in math.” “Emma made a new friend today.” She had been keeping a record of my life, a record I never knew existed. Those pages were her way of saying, “I see you. I care about you.” My grandmother passed away when I was eighteen. I inherited her knitting needles and that notebook. Sometimes, when I am struggling or feeling lost, I open the notebook and read her words. They remind me that I am loved, that I matter. Those simple notes have become my anchor. They are not just memories — they are a legacy of love that continues to guide me. 16. How did the grandmother show her love?A. Through words and poetry. B. Through gestures and actions. C. Through expensive gifts. D. Through strict rules. 17. What did the writer find in her grandmother’s drawer?A. Poems and stories. B. A notebook about her life. C. Old photographs. D. Letters from friends. 18. What does the writer do when she feels lost?A. She visits her grandmother’s grave. B. She reads the notebook. C. She calls her mother. D. She throws away old things. B The Memory Palace: An Ancient Technique Before the invention of writing, people relied heavily on memory to pass down knowledge. Ancient Greek and Roman orators were famous for their ability to deliver long speeches without notes. Their secret was a technique called the “method of loci,” also known as the “memory palace.” The technique is simple in concept. You imagine a familiar place — your house, for example. You then associate each piece of information you want to remember with a specific location in that place. To recall the information, you mentally walk through the space and “see” the information in each location. The technique works because our spatial memory is remarkably strong. We can easily remember the layout of a place we have visited, even years later. Modern research supports the effectiveness of this ancient method. Studies have shown that using the memory palace can significantly improve recall, especially for lists and sequences. It engages multiple regions of the brain, including those responsible for spatial awareness and visual imagery, making the memory more robust. Anyone can learn to use a memory palace. Start with a simple route — the path from your front door to your bedroom, for example. Then, practice placing vivid mental images of what you need to remember along that route. The more vivid and unusual the images, the easier they will be to recall. 19. Who originally used the memory palace technique?A. Modern scientists. B. Ancient Greek and Roman orators. C. Chinese scholars. D. Medieval monks. 20. Why is the memory palace technique effective?A. It uses visual images and spatial memory. B. It requires no practice. C. It is based on modern technology. D. It uses only verbal memory. 21. What does modern research show about the technique?A. It is outdated and ineffective. B. It significantly improves recall. C. It only works for historical facts. D. It is too complex for most people. 22. What advice does the writer give for starting a memory palace?A. Use a familiar route and vivid images. B. Start with a large, complex building. C. Avoid using visual imagery. D. Only use it for studying history. C The Paradox of Nostalgia Nostalgia is the sentimental longing for the past. It is a feeling that most of us experience at some point — a warm, bittersweet emotion when we think of childhood, old friends, or places we once knew. But is nostalgia a comfort or a trap? Psychologists have studied nostalgia extensively. They have found that nostalgia can have positive effects. It can boost our mood, increase self-esteem, and give us a sense of continuity — the feeling that our lives have meaning and coherence. When we recall happy memories, we are reminded of the good times, which can help us cope with current difficulties. However, nostalgia also has a dark side. It often romanticizes the past, glossing over the difficulties and hardships we faced. We remember the laughter but forget the tears. This selective memory can make the present feel inadequate. We may become trapped in a cycle of comparing today to an idealized yesterday. This can lead to dissatisfaction and prevent us from fully living in the present. Perhaps the healthiest approach is to appreciate nostalgia without being ruled by it. We can honor the past without wishing to return to it. The past is a source of wisdom and comfort, but the present is where life happens. Balance, as always, is the key. 23. What is nostalgia according to the passage?A. A fear of the future. B. A sentimental longing for the past. C. A dislike of the present. D. A rejection of memories. 24. What is one positive effect of nostalgia?A. It makes us forget present problems. B. It boosts mood and self-esteem. C. It encourages unrealistic expectations. D. It makes us live in the past. 25. What is the “dark side” of nostalgia?A. It makes us too optimistic. B. It romanticizes the past and makes the present feel worse. C. It helps us forget mistakes. D. It is only for elderly people. 26. What does the writer suggest about nostalgia?A. We should avoid it completely. B. We should appreciate it without being ruled by it. C. We should only focus on the present. D. We should always live in the past. D ① In the digital age, we document everything. We take photos of our food, our friends, our travels, our pets. We post updates about every waking moment. But does this constant documentation actually help us remember, or does it steal our memories? ② Researchers at Fairfield University conducted a study on this phenomenon. They found that when people take photos of an experience, they tend to remember less of it than those who simply experience it without a camera. The act of taking a photo can pull attention away from the moment itself. We are so focused on capturing the perfect image that we fail to absorb the experience fully. ③ However, there is a nuance. When people take photos with the intention of capturing a specific detail — something they want to remember — they often remember that detail better. The key is intentionality. Taking random photos without paying attention is harmful to memory, but taking photos with purpose can actually enhance it. ④ The solution, then, is not to stop taking photos altogether. It is to be more mindful about when and why we take them. Put down the camera sometimes and just be present. When you do take a photo, focus on what you want to remember. And after the event, take time to look back at your photos and reflect on the memories they represent. 27. What did the Fairfield University study find?A. Taking photos always improves memory. B. Taking photos can reduce how much people remember. C. Photos have no effect on memory. D. Photos only help professional photographers. 28. What does the underlined word “nuance” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. A general rule. B. A small but important detail. C. A clear conclusion. D. A common mistake. 29. When do photos help memory according to the passage?A. When taken randomly. B. When taken with intentionality. C. When taken in large numbers. D. When taken without thinking. 30. What is the best structure of the text?A. ①—②③—④ B. ①②—③—④ C. ①—②—③④ D. ①②③—④ 第二节　任务型阅读 (共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A—E五个选项中选出正确选项（其中一项是多余选项），将其序号填入第31—34小题，并回答第35小题。 Why We Remember What We Remember Have you ever wondered why you remember some events clearly while others fade away?

Without memories, we would have no sense of identity. They are the foundation of our self. Text 2M: I keep all my photos on my phone. It’s so convenient.W: I prefer physical photos. There’s something about holding a printed picture that feels more real and precious. Text 3W: I hate forgetting things. It makes me feel old.M: Actually, forgetting is natural. The brain needs to discard unimportant information to make room for what matters. Text 4M: Do you have any memory of your grandfather?W: Yes, I remember the stories he told me. His voice and his words are still vivid in my mind. Text 5M: I love looking back at old photos. It makes me feel so nostalgic.W: Nostalgia is comforting, but sometimes it makes us idealize the past. We need to remember it wasn’t always perfect. 第二节 Text 6 (6-7)M: I have a hard time remembering people’s names. It’s so embarrassing.W: That’s a common problem. Try associating the name with a mental image. For example, if someone is named Rose, picture a rose in your mind.M: That’s an interesting idea. I’ll give it a try. Text 7 (8-10)W: I love thinking about my childhood. It was such a happy time.M: I don’t remember much about mine. It’s all a blur.W: Really? I have vivid memories of playing in the garden with my siblings.M: I have a few memories, but they’re not very clear. I think memories fade over time. 第三节 Text 8 (11-15)Good morning. As a cognitive psychologist, I have spent many years studying how memory works. One of the most surprising findings is how unreliable memory can be. Our memories are not like video recordings. They are reconstructed every time we recall them. This means that memories can be influenced by suggestions, emotions, and even our expectations. This is why two people can remember the same event differently. It is also why eyewitness testimony can be unreliable. So, the next time you are certain about a memory, remember that it may not be as accurate as you think. Be open to other perspectives.
