When Areej El-Jawahri, a doctor at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, signed the contract to purchase the house specially designed to fit the needs of multigenerational (多代的) residents, she knew she wanted her parents, who then lived in Michigan, to join her. “I wanted them to be in a state where I could help manage their health care needs,” she said. “As an only child from a Middle Eastern background, our culture is all about family units.”
El-Jawahri’s choice was not unique. A Pew Research Center analysis found that from 1971 to 2021, the number of people living in multigenerational households increased, with the share of the US population in these homes more than doubling, from 7 percent in 1971 to 18 percent in 2021.
“Rents in Boston are so high that I see lots of multigenerational living. Many young people move back in with their parents,” said Connie Brown, a global real estate adviser in Charlestown. “I have a rental apartment that’s $5, 000 a month, and we collect the first month’s rent, a security deposit (保证金), and our service fee, so it’s $20, 000 just to walk into the door.”
One of Brown’s clients, Brian Lash changed space over his garage to an apartment for his 92-year-old dad. “Living with my dad for those months was wonderful,” he said, noting that his father has since passed away. “We watched basketball, baseball, and golf, we went out for dinner, and I cooked for him. Those are the days I would never have had if I hadn’t built that apartment.”
Still, experts encourage people to have an open conversation before they move in together. They propose that both parties talk about whether there are shared expenses and who is responsible for what and that they put their agreements in writing. Cohabitation (同居) agreements are common among friends, but they are equally crucial for multigenerational families. Putting it in writing at the beginning of the process enables people to clarify viewpoints, and sometimes allows them to decide whether to move in together or not.
24．Why did El-Jawahri purchase the specially designed house
A．To ensure that her parents could be better cared.
B．To follow the traditional virtues of American culture.
C．To experience culture in a multigenerational community.
D．To acquire more household property in Boston for herself.
25．What does the Pew Research Center analysis show about multigenerational living
A．It is popular with Middle Easterners.
B．It is mainly favored by senior citizens.
C．It has seen greater acceptance in the US.
D．It frequently occurs in single-child families.
26．What did Brian Lash think of his living with his father
A．It provided financial savings. B．It aroused his interest in sports.
C．It left warm memories in his mind. D．It brought great changes to his daily life.
27．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The reasons for people living together B．Suggestions on harmonious cohabitation.
C．Convenience brought about by cohabitation. D．The importance of multigenerational families.
C
When it comes to building structures, humans often consider themselves the best, but the abilities of social insects are amazing. For example, termites (白蚁) construct tall nests. However, the true masters of insect architecture are the bees.
A team of evolutionary biologists, led by Viviana Di Pietro, has discovered that these small-brained insects can build in various architectural styles, similar to humans. These styles are passed down from generation to generation, indicating that insects can have cultural differences — a concept once believed to be unique to humans, as noted by Andrew Whiten.
In a study of over 400 bee colonies in Brazil, most nests were layered like cakes, while others were spiral (螺旋状). The researchers filmed the bees and found no difference in the speed of cell construction, suggesting that neither style is more efficient than the other.
To determine if genetics played a role, researchers transferred workers from one nest type to another. The relocated bees adapted to the local building style, and so did the young bees. These findings are exciting for those studying animal culture, as they demonstrate that bees can pass down construction techniques without direct teaching. This challenges the traditional view of culture, which is often defined as behavior directly passed from one individual to another.
Dr. Whiten believes that the new findings suggest complex animal behaviors, like beaver (海狸) dams, may also result from indirect learning. Some scientists say that certain human traditions could be passed down similarly, although this is not sure. Bees keep surprising us; it has been observed that bumblebees (大黄蜂) learn from older bees, challenging the idea that such learning is unique to humans. Perhaps bees deserve recognition as top architects too!
28．What did the team of Viviana Di Pietro find
A．Culture is only found in human societies.
B．Bees build more efficiently than humans.
C．Bees exhibit varied construction traditions.
D．Animal behaviors come from direct teaching.
29．What was the traditional view of culture according to Paragraph 4
A．Inherited through genetic traits. B．Learned from individual interactions.
C．Passed down through written records. D．Developed from environmental factors.
30．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．Bees challenge human uniqueness in learning.
B．Bees cannot communicate with each other at all.
C．Animal behaviors are mostly natural occurring.
D．Human traditions can be directly taught to others.
31．What could be the best title for the passage
A．The Secret Lives of Bees B．The Intelligence of Bees
C．The Cultural Architecture of Bees D．The Complexity of Insect Structures
D
Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts (闪电). Here’s what you should expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels (血管) exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is a pattern of scars (伤疤) that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological (神经系统的) conditions for reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters (神经递质) that are released from the dying neurons (神经元). This causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.
32．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A．1 in 12,000 may die from lightning bolts.
B．Lightning attacks can heat bodies to 27,700℃.
C．Branching scars are typical after lightning attacks.
D．Humans are the most likely target for lightning bolts.
33．What happened to the surgeon after the strike
A．His unexplored brain areas were activated.
B．His brain was left in a fixed state of death.
C．He suffered a lifetime of neurological pain.
D．He recalled hidden memories about music.
34．What does the underlined word “This” refer to in paragraph 5
A．The cell death due to lightning strikes.
B．The flooding of brain’s neurotransmitters.
C．The rewiring of brain neurons.
D．The release of dying neurons.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．The process of lightning formation.
B．The chances of surviving a lightning strike.
C．The possibility of lightning making a genius.
D．The consequences of being struck by lightning.
第二节(共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you have ever interacted with a playful puppy, a darling kitten, or any other adorable creature, chances are that you’ve experienced an overwhelming urge to pet, squeeze, or even pinch them. 36 It is a response that is likely linked to our innate（天生的） drive to nurture and protect our young.
37 A questionnaire to measure the levels of cute aggression experienced was given to the participants of the study. Researchers found that people tend to feel a stronger “cute aggression” response towards baby animals and pictures of digitally enhanced human babies with enlarged features. They also found that seeing cute things triggers the brain’s emotion and reward systems. Someone may feel so overwhelmed with emotions that they have become unmanageable. The brain’s strategy to regulate this imbalance is to express an “opposite” emotion to avoid excessive emotional exertion. 38 This phenomenon is called a dimorphous expression (二态表达) of emotion.
A second study also confirmed that cute aggression is a way of regulating emotions. When people are overwhelmed by a strong emotion, they develop distorted negative behavior called “duplicity”, in which what they do does not correspond to what they think. But cute aggression doesn’t equal abusive violence. 39
Now that you know why you feel the urge to squeeze unbearably cute and fluffy things, there’s no need to worry about these aggressive tendencies. 40 If you feel the urge to pinch, bite, or even “grind your teeth” when you see cute animals, don’t worry — this is not “sadistic tendencies”, but the brain is trying to control itself.
A．The brain uses aggression to balance the overwhelming positive emotions of the two systems.
B．A study in 2018 sought to comprehend the brain activity triggering cute aggression.
C．The stronger the feelings of cute aggression, the stronger the urge to flee.
D．They’re a normal part of our response to adorable creatures.
E．On the contrary, cute aggression can foster collaboration between people.
F．The former is a positive emotion that does not lead to real violent actions.
G．This instinctive impulse is commonly referred to as cute aggression.

When Mrs. Meredith heard of John’s idea, she thought it was a good one, too. So, they headed to the local supermarket together. They bought a bag of corn and some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family.
With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need.
