【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。洗发水品牌会让人应接不暇，有些品牌承诺修复和滋养我们的头发，有些品牌承诺加强和增加头发体积，但是这些说法是真的吗？我们甚至需要洗发水吗？作者认为下次购买洗发水的时候，要记住头发是由死亡的蛋白质细胞组成的，即使是最昂贵的洗发水也无法让它们复活，确保你做出更好的决定。
【1题详解】
考查连词。句意：一些品牌承诺修复和滋养我们的头发，而其他品牌承诺加强和增加头发的量。根据上文“Sme brands prmise t repair and nurish ur hair (一些品牌承诺修复和滋养我们的头发)”以及下文“thers prmise t strengthen and add vlume (其他品牌承诺加强和增加头发的量)”可知，这是两个并列的句子，前后句之间为对比关系，空白处应填表示对比关系的连词，故填while。
【2题详解】
考查被动语态。句意：早在洗发水发明之前，就有人说在印度，我们的身体就产生了皮脂，一种类似油的物质。分析句子结构，这是一个包含时间状语从句的复合句，空白处在从句中作谓语，因与主语之间为被动关系，使用被动语态，因从句表达的是过去发生的动作，使用一般过去时的被动语态，又因从句的主语shamp为单数，故填was invented。
【3题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：皮脂可以阻止我们的皮肤干燥，管理头皮的健康，让我们的头发有光泽。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作宾语补足语，使用非谓语动词，因stp…(frm) ding为固定短语，含义为“阻止……”，符合句意，所以空白处填动名词形式，故填getting。
【4题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：但它也会收集污垢，如果长时间不动，皮脂会导致我们的头发变得油腻。分析句子结构，空白处是状语从句的省略，if引导的条件状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且含有be动词，可以省略主语+be动词，句子为if sebum is left untuched fr t lng，leave与其逻辑主语sebum之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，使用过去分词，故填left。
【5题详解】
考查介词。句意：富勒姆头皮和头发诊所的毛发学家Eleanre Richardsn说，从健康的角度来看，让头发油腻没有坏处，但许多人出于审美原因选择定期洗头。分析句子结构，n a regular basis为固定短语，含义为“定期地”，符合句意，故填n。
【6题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：但是，正如药物分析教授Laura Waters所指出的，“一些表面活性剂效果太好了”，也会带走头发中的天然油脂。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为下文一整句话表示的内容，且根据句意可知空白处应填表示“正如”含义的关系代词，故填as。
【7题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：虽然更昂贵的洗发水可能含有不那么粗糙的表面活性剂，但洗发水的类型其实并不重要。根据上文“mre(更)”可知空白处应填形容词的比较级，再根据上文“expensive (贵的)”以及下文“harsh (粗糙的)”可知上下文之间为转折关系，空白处应填mre的反义词修饰形容词harsh，故填less harsh。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：自然，我们在头发上涂得越多，就越需要把它洗掉，从而形成一个恶性循环。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作状语，使用非谓语动词，根据下文“a vicius circle (恶性循环)”可知此处表达的是一个符合逻辑的自然的结果，使用现在分词做结果状语，故填creating。
【9题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们似乎确实需要洗发水，但我们也不应该指望它能成为一种神奇的疗法。分析空白处在句子中做宾补，使用非谓语动词，因空白处表示的是一个指向将来的不确定的动作，使用动词不定式，故填t serve。
【10题详解】
考查情态动词。句意：最后，下次你在洗发水货架上时，请记住，头发是由死亡的蛋白质细胞组成的，不幸的是，即使是最昂贵的洗发水也无法让它们复活。根据上文“dead prtein cells (死亡的蛋白质细胞)”以及下文“bring them back t life (让它们复活)”可推理出空白处应填表示“能”含义的情态动词，故填can。

A
In my hmetwn f Idah Falls, beneath the elevated train tracks that paralleled West Yellwstne Highway, there was a hidden gem that arused my curisity. A small pening in the hill, easily missed if ne wasn’t attentive, attracted me with its half-mn shape and stne-framed edges. Althugh it lked pintless, brilliant light pured thrugh, creating a tapestry f thin trees cvered in delicate, light green leaves — a symbl f freshness and new beginnings — and illuminating the space.
That image remains vivid in my mind, evking a fanciful ntin f a gateway t a secret wrld where wd nymphs and fairies have fun. I imagined an embrace f beautiful light, a peaceful place where I wuld feel secure and understd.
As a teenager, armed with a driver’s license, I fantasized abut driving t that spt and finally stepping thrugh the pening. Hwever, I knew deep dwn that the mment I ventured clser, the enchantment (魔法) wuld disappear like mrning mist.
Even in adulthd, I had a knack fr summning enchantment. I culd marvel at drifting cluds, sensing their magical dance. Old frests shwed an therwrldly wisdm, and seemingly cincidental events held a mystical fascinatin. But the pandemic, like a thief in the night, rbbed me f that gift. Cnfined t ur hmes, the cries f ur children merged with ur wn as we wrestled with teaching them reading and math. Weeks stretched int mnths, and mnths int years, erding my ability t find enchantment in the bring life, leaving nly the residue f a COVID-infected existence.
S when I picked up Katherine May’s newest bk and read this bit, it felt really familiar:
“I have lst sme fundamental part f my knwing, sme basic human feeling. Withut it, the wrld feels like tap water left vernight, flat and chemical, shrt f life. I am like lightning seeking earth. Uneasy. I need a better way t walk thrugh this life. I want t be enchanted again.”
May has written an entire bk abut this, apprpriately titled Enchantment: Awakening Wnder in an Anxius Age. I dg-eared almst every page in this bk, as they mirrred my wn experiences. It was a cnfirmatin I desperately needed- the realizatin that I wasn’t alne in my struggle. May’s explratin f curisity, imaginatin, and the quest fr meaning in ur lives became a prfund reminder f the path I yearned t rediscver. Therefre, I can’t wait t recmmend this bk t yu. Yu wn’t be disappinted; yu have my wrd.

B. what rle a secret wrld plays in kids fascinated with fairy tales
C. hw the authr hlds nt a sense f wnder as a curius child

40. What des the authr suggest ding when we are abut t rganize the things in ur rms?
A. Dealing with the items frm ther rms immediately.
B. Playing a game f “Where des this g?”
C. Lining up the things n the bed.

【答案】40. D 41. C 42. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了基本的快速清洁凌乱的卧室的路线图。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据清洁路线图第三点中的“Put things in their prper place. (把东西放到该放的地方去)”和“If yu have items frm ther rms lying arund, start a srting pile that yu can remve and deal with later. (如果你有其他房间里的东西，那就把它们分类起来，以后再处理)”可知，当我们要整理房间里的东西时，作者的建议是先把东西整理好，然后再处理。故选D项。
【41题详解】
词句猜测题。画线句“Wh needs plishing spray and a rag when yu’re in a hurry!”本身的意思是“当你赶时间的时候，谁还需要抛光喷雾和抹布呢”，结合它的上文“Wipe dwn the furniture with micrfiber dust wipes. (用超细纤维防尘抹布擦拭家具)”和下文“Pre-cut and flded micrfiber clths wrk great t dust furniture, a TV, bkshelves and picture frames. (预先裁剪和折叠的超细纤维布对家具、电视、书架和相框除尘效果很好)”可知，作者认为用超细纤维防尘抹布擦拭家具很便捷、效果很好。由此推知，作者的意思是虽然抛光喷雾和抹布可以同样起到清洁家具的效果，但是耗时更久，因此在时间有限的情况下不是最优选择。故选C项。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据清洁路线图第一点中的“First, bring in a garbage bag and pick up trash arund the rm. (首先，带一个垃圾袋进来，把房间里的垃圾捡起来)”、第二点中的“If yu have time t change the sheets, d it first. (如果你有时间换床单，那就先换)”和最后一点中的“Vacuum r sweep the flr. (用吸尘器或扫地)”可知，快速清洁路线图建议我们先把房间里的垃圾扔掉，在时间允许的情况下更换床单，最后打扫地板，没有推荐一次尽可能地多做家务。故选C项。

Technlgy has blurred the bundaries between wrk and play, prfessinal and persnal, and career and dwntime. Whether it’s a digital nmad (数字游牧民) blgging n a Bali beach r a manager checking emails n a Nisek ski lift, peple are seamlessly cmbining wrk and leisure. The traditinal bundary between business and persnal travel is fading, giving rise t a new trend knwn as “bleisure travel.”
Bleisure travel extends beynd the usual practice f bringing a partner t a cnference. Prfessinals wrldwide are increasingly adding weekends r even weeks t their wrk trips, whether they are traveling alne, with a partner, r as a family. Accrding t Jeanne Liu f the Glbal Business Travel Assciatin, mre than ne in three business travelers will incrprate a leisure cmpnent int at least ne f their trips this year. Cntrary t expectatins, this trend is nt limited t entry-level emplyees; managers and millennials are equally likely t partake in bleisure travel.
Emplyers are recgnizing the benefits f bleisure travel, as it cntributes t travel well-being, jb satisfactin, and prductivity. Taking the pprtunity t bring family members alng r adding fun elements t a business trip reduces stress and enhances the verall experience. Australians, wh face lnger wrking hurs and higher travel csts, are particularly receptive t bleisure travel. Guests at business-riented htels like Quest St Lenards in Sydney are increasingly pting t have their partners jin them fr a weekend stay r lnger, rather than making quick trips back hme.
Richard Tnkin, a general manager wh frequently travels fr wrk, always extends his trips t explre new destinatins. He carefully researches cities and bks bike turs as a way t quickly see the sights and discver places f interest. Tnkin’s wife, Enza, wh wrks part-time, ften accmpanies him n these trips and explres the lcal area r indulges in her wn activities, such as shpping r visiting galleries and restaurants.
The mdern bleisure traveler is typically culturally curius and interested in lcal cuisine. Htels like Quest St Lenards ensure their frnt ffice staff are knwledgeable abut nt nly ppular attractins but als hidden gems and events happening in the area. They prvide guests with tailred guides that cater t their specific interests, whether it’s ffbeat cafes and butiques r trendy bars and restaurants.
The main bstacle fr mst business travelers cnsidering bleisure is time. Paradxically (自相矛盾的是), while technlgy enables them t wrk and play at the same time, it als limits their leisure time. Hwever, as the trend cntinues t gain in ppularity, mre prfessinals are finding ways t strike a balance and make the mst f their business trips by incrprating leisure activities.
43. Which f the fllwing is a prper descriptin f mdern bleisure travelers?
A. They prefer t travel alne rather than with a business partner r a family member.
B. They tend t be curius abut lcal culture and cuisine, and eager t explre the area.
C. They are mre interested in attending cnferences and business meetings than travelling.
D. They are mre likely t be entry-level emplyees than cmpany managers r millennials.
44. What can be inferred abut “bleisure travel” frm the passage?
A. It is primarily embraced by emplyees with shrter wrking hurs and lwer travel csts.
B. Limited leisure time gives prfessinals a chance t strike a balance between wrk and life.
C. Its increasing ppularity suggests that prfessinals priritize persnal experiences ver wrk.
D. Family members cming alng the bleisure travel will have t fllw their partner s schedule.
45. Hw d sme htels react t the rise f “bleisure travel” accrding t the passage?
A. They are struggling t accmmdate travelers due t limited availability and high demand.
B. They are indifferent t the trend and d nt ffer any specific services fr bleisure travelers.
C. They are discuraging bleisure travel by ffering nly business- riented facilities and services.
D. They are training staff t knw abut lcal travelling infrmatin and ffering tailred guides.
46. The passage mainly talks abut ________.
A. the rise f digital refugees in the wrkfrce
B. the benefits f business travel fr prfessinals
C. the trend f cmbining wrk and leisure travel
D. the challenges f balancing wrk and recreatin

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了欧洲劳动力大迁徙的起因经过以及结果。
【47题详解】
根据上文“The Great Migratin began when the Nrth had a labr prblem. The Nrth had been relying n cheap labr frm Eurpe — immigrants frm Eurpe — t wrk the factries and the fundries and the steel mills. (当北方出现劳工问题时，大迁徙开始了。北方一直依靠来自欧洲的廉价劳动力——来自欧洲的移民——在工厂、铸造厂和钢铁厂工作)”以及后文“As a result, the Nrth decided t g and find the cheapest labr in the land, which meant many f African Americans in the Suth were nt even being paid fr their hard wrk. (结果，北方决定去寻找最便宜的劳动力，这意味着南方的许多非洲裔美国人甚至没有为他们的辛勤工作获得报酬)”可知，上文提到了欧洲的移民为北方提供了劳动力，后文则提到了北方寻找劳动力，说明本句是在说明劳动力缺乏的原因：第一次世界大战期间，来自欧洲的移民几乎停止了。故B选项“但是在第一次世界大战期间，来自欧洲的移民几乎停止了”符合语境，故选B。
【48题详解】
根据上文“But it turned ut that the Suth did nt take kindly t this paching (盗用，挖走) f its cheap labr (但事实证明，南方对这种对其廉价劳动力的挖走并不友好)”可知，本句承接上文说明南方不友好的具体表现：南方实际上尽其所能阻止人们离开。故C选项“南方实际上尽其所能阻止人们离开”符合语境，故选C。
【49题详解】
根据上文“Befre the Great Migratin began, 90 percent f all African Americans were living in the Suth, where they were nearly held captive. But by the time this Great Migratin was ver, nearly half were living all ver the rest f the cuntry. (在大迁徙开始之前，90%的非裔美国人生活在南方，他们几乎被囚禁在那里。但当大迁徙结束时，将近一半的人在全国各地生活)”可知，上文提到了大迁徙之前和之后国家人民分配的区别，本句为本段最后一句，与上文构成因果关系，总结其结果：所以这几乎是对整个民族的重新分配。故E选项“所以这几乎是对整个民族的重新分配”符合语境，故选E。
【50题详解】
根据上文“This Great Migratin was the first time in American histry that the lwest caste (种姓) peple signaled that they had ptins fr themselves and were willing t take them. (这次大迁徙是美国历史上第一次最低种姓的人表示他们有自己的选择，并愿意接受这些选择)”以及后文“Think abut thse cttn fields, rice plantatins, tbacc fields and sugar plantatins, where there were pera singers, jazz musicians, playwrights, nvelists, surgens, attrneys, accuntants, prfessrs, jurnalists. (想想那些棉花田、水稻种植园、烟草田和甘蔗种植园，那里有歌剧演唱家、爵士音乐家、剧作家、小说家、外科医生、律师、会计师、教授和记者)”可知，后文出现了许多不同的职业，说明低种姓的人开始施展自己的才华，故F选项“他们最终选择了如何发挥自己的才能，以及在哪里施展自己的才能”符合语境，故选F。

Obstacles t the crrect decisin
Life is full f chices, sme incnsequential, sme really significant. But smetimes it can be hard t make the crrect ne. What are the bstacles that stand between us and a gd utcme?
Sme f us just find it hard t decide. Alice Byes, writing fr Harvard Business Review, tells us this can be cnnected t perfectinism, where peple attempt t find a perfect slutin t any prblem and are unable t mve frward when they can’t find ne. It might seem that being indecisive wuld stp us making the right decisin, but in fact it culd actually help us make the crrect nes.
Susan Krauss in Psychlgy Tday reminds us that peple ften make bad decisins because they base them n precnceptins rather than the cntext in which things happen. She highlights a paper by researcher Iris Schneider which finds that indecisive peple are mre likely t lk at different perspectives and use them t cme t a better decisin. S, it culd be that a mre significant barrier t making the best chice is ur cgnitive biases.
David Rbsn tells us that intelligence can smetimes stp peple making the right decisin. Peple smetimes use intelligence t invent justificatins fr irratinal beliefs. He believes that humility is key t making a gd decisin. Peple wh can accept that they might be wrng are mre likely t cnsider different viewpints. He is backed up n this by Jeff Bezs. Tech CEO Jasn Fried recalls the Amazn funder saying hw the peple wh were right a lt f the time were the peple wh ften changed their minds.
S, maybe rather than indecisin, it might be intelligence and decisiveness, backed up by ur biases that actually stp us making gd chices while humility and indecisiveness culd help us pick the best ptin.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，决策过程中存在障碍。有些完美主义者优柔寡断，但事实上，他们的优柔寡断有助于做出正确的决策。没有认知偏差，优柔寡断的人倾向于考虑不同的观点。此外，聪明的人喜欢把不合理的信念合理化，而不是承认自己的错误。因此，做出更好决策的真正障碍是智慧和果断，而不是优柔寡断。

52. 这些安全措施仍将继续实施至下月初。(remain) (汉译英)
【答案】These security measures will remain t be implemented until the beginning f next mnth
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。表示“安全措施”短语为these security measures，作主语；表示“仍将继续实施”应用remain t be implemented，为不定式的被动形式；表示“至下月初”翻译为until the beginning f next mnth，为一般将来时。故翻译为These security measures will remain t be implemented until the beginning f next mnth.
53. 考试时他太紧张了，没能发现自己的拼写错误。(spt) (汉译英)
【答案】He was t nervus in/during the exam t spt his spelling mistakes.
He was s nervus in/during the exam that he failed t spt his spelling mistakes.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态、固定短语和结果状语从句。句子陈述过去的事情，应用一般过去时；表示“太……以至于不能”可用固定句型，“紧张的”用nervus表达，作表语；“在考试中”用in/during the exam表达，作状语；“发现”用spt表达，用其不定式形式作结果状语；“他的拼写错误”用his spelling mistakes表达，作spt的宾语；本句也可处理为句型，that引导结果状语从句，“没能做某事”表达为fail t d sth.，作从句谓语动词。综上，故翻译为He was t nervus in/during the exam t spt his spelling mistakes./He was s nervus in/during the exam that he failed t spt his spelling mistakes.
54. 这家快餐店推出了私人订制服务，获得众多消费者的青睐。(which) (汉译英)
【答案】This fast-fd stre (has) launched a (private) tailred service/custmized service/persnalized service, which (has) wn many custmers’ favr.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和定语从句。句子陈述已经发生的动作，可以一般过去时陈述过去的事实，也可用现在完成时表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响；分析可知，本句为主从复合句，“这家快餐店推出了私人订制服务”处理为主句，主语“这家快餐店”表达为this fast-fd stre，谓语动词“推出”表达为launch，宾语“私人定制服务”可表达为 (private) tailred service/custmized service/persnalized service，此处为泛指，应用不定冠词修饰；“获得众多消费者的青睐”处理为非限制性定语从句，对名词service进行附加说明，谓语“赢得，获得”用动词win表达，宾语“众多消费者的青睐”表达为many custmers’ favr，从句缺少主语，且先行词service指物，因此用关系代词which引导从句。综上，故翻译为This fast-fd stre (has) launched a (private) tailred service/custmized service/persnalized service, which (has) wn many custmers’ favr.

【详解】考查时态、副词、非谓语动词。表示“如今”含义的词为：nwadays；表示“病人”含义的词为：patients；表示“便捷地”含义的词为：easily；表示“下载”含义的动词为：dwnlad；表示“他们的医疗记录”含义的表达为：their medical recrds；“以获取诸如检测结果之类的信息”为动词不定式短语，做目的状语，表示“以获取信息”含义的表达为：t btain infrmatin；表示“诸如”含义的表达为：such as；表示“检测结果”含义的表达为：test result，根据上文“他们的”可知此处使用名词的复数；分析句子结构，前后句之间为因果关系，使用副词thus引出下文。因“大大节省了时间和精力”表达中没有主语，使用被动语态，表示“他们的时间和精力”含义的表达为：their time and effrt；表示“大大地”含义的副词为：greatly；表示“节省”含义的词为：save，因句子表达的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响，此处谓语动词使用现在完成时的被动语态，又因主语为复数，所以翻译为：their time and effrt have been greatly saved，故本句翻译为：Nwadays, patients can easily dwnlad their medical recrds t btain infrmatin such as test results. Thus, their time and effrt have been greatly saved。
