阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Honolulu, Hawaii, recently passed a law making it unlawful to look down at a phone while crossing the street. It is the first big US city with a law like this. Do you think more places should pass such a law Following are some replies posted by netizens.
As humans, we can make our own decision. I’m not saying it’s safe, but we don’t need the government to babysit us like our parents. After all, we are grown-ups. If we want to learn to make good decisions, the government needs to stop telling us what to do. —Andrew from Oregon
This law makes sense. If all the states pass such a law, some people might not like it. But is there really a way to please everyone This would not be for fun. It would be for the safety of all Americans. —Grace from Alaska
People do many things that may hurt themselves but are not against the law, such as riding bikes, driving cars, and swimming. The list goes on and on. People might get hurt from looking at phones while walking if they’re not paying attention. Still, I believe people should have the freedom to choose. —Alice from Pennsylvania
What matters more — your phone or your safety If you’re staring at your screen while walking, you might miss a car coming or fail to see the traffic light turn red. Using your phone on the road can be unsafe. That’s why more cities should stop people looking at phones when crossing the street! —Sally from Seoul
21．Who may support newly passed the law
A．Andrew and Grace. B．Alice and Sally.
C．Andrew and Alice. D．Grace and Sally.
22．Which serves as a reason against the law
A．Laws may sometimes hurt people. B．Decisions should be made on one’s own.
C．The government can’t act as parents. D．Adults needn’t be concerned about safety.
23．Where does the passage probably come from
A．An online post. B．A research report.
C．A travel guide. D．A marketing survey.
B
At 102 years old, American doctor Howard Tucker holds a Guinness World Record as the oldest practicing doctor. Although he stopped seeing patients at 100, his life remains full of purpose, showing that passion (热情) is the best medicine against aging.
Dr. Tucker believes “retirement (退休) is the enemy of a long life.” He thinks having a reason to wake up each morning is important. Even after the hospital where he worked closed in 2022, he hasn’t completely ruled out returning to medical work. Today, he teaches future doctors and works on medico-legal cases, a job made possible by a law degree he earned at 67.
For Dr. Tucker, a long life isn’t just about good genes (基因) from his parents, who lived to 84 and 96, but more of his healthy lifestyle including following a simple diet, often missing lunch to have a clear head, exercising daily, walking at least four kilometers, and staying away from smoking while drinking a little alcohol. Dr. Tucker also says it’s important to keep the brain active. “If you retire from work, you should at least do something as a hobby,” he told Today. “You need something interesting for the brain daily.” Science backs him up. Research shows that ongoing learning, social connections, and a sense of purpose are all helpful for a healthy and long life.
Experiencing a fall in his late 80s that ended his skiing days with a broken neck, Tucker hasn’t lost his passion for life, always finding new ways to stay active instead. As he approaches his 103rd birthday, Dr. Tucker isn’t worried about death but focuses on living fully. For a man who has spent his life helping treat others, Dr. Howard Tucker’s greatest lesson is how to truly live.
24．How did Dr. Tucker fight against “the enemy of a long life”
A．He earned a law degree at 67. B．He worked as a medical instructor.
C．He woke up early each morning. D．He returned to the hospital in 2022.
25．What plays a greater role in Dr. Tucker’s long life
A．A healthy way of daily life. B．A clear and scientific mind.
C．As many hobbies as possible. D．Good genes from his family.
26．What happened to Dr. Tucker in his late 80s
A．He needed a passion for life. B．He started to learn how to ski.
C．He retired from medical practice. D．He remained active after an accident.
27．Which of the following best describes Dr. Tucker
A．Strict and curious. B．Careful and adventurous.
C．Positive and purposeful. D．Grateful and responsible.
C
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said last week that artificial intelligence could wipe out half of all entry-level white-collar jobs within five years, making the unemployment rate as high as 20%. Is that true
Humans have experienced several technological disruptions (扰乱) before, and now we have adapted to meet them. AI won’t be any different. There was a time when the elevators in hotels and office buildings were staffed by human operators. Then in the 1930s, elevator companies began installing “robot elevators” with automatic controls, and eventually elevator operators completely disappeared, with no tide of unemployment.
Some people see AI as a job killer. However, research shows that broad adoption of AI could boost the country’s productivity growth by 1.5% per year, resulting in higher salaries, higher profits and more savings. Those people do not realize that the savings from increased productivity is recycled back into the economy. This creates new demand and in turn creates more jobs. Some are entirely new, such as “content creator assistant,” and others are existing jobs that are higher in demand because people have more money to spend — for example, personal trainers.
Further, there is a great deal of work that only humans can do. Self-driving school buses will still need an adult to watch the kids. As for police, AI robots won’t be arresting criminals anytime soon. It’s a similar story for CEOs, fashion models and flight attendants. Most occupations involve working with other people, with things or with ideas that are too complex for AI to handle alone.
Let’s imagine that Mr. Amodei’s forecast turns out to be accurate. Entry-level white-collar jobs account for less than 15% of the U. S. labor force. Wiping out half of them in five years would mean roughly 2.6 million jobs lost per year. That sounds like a lot, but the fact is that about 20 million U. S. workers are laid off every year. In other words, the supposed AI job loss, even if it occurred, would be the equivalent of only about six weeks of normal labor-market disturbance.
28．Why is “elevator operators” mentioned
A．To justify a job. B．To illustrate a point.
C．To introduce a topic. D．To make a prediction.
29．What do people viewing AI as a job killer fail to understand
A．Jobs lost will be lost forever. B．Some jobs will never disappear.
C．Application of AI creates jobs. D．Jobs involving AI are in demand.
30．What does the last paragraph focus on
A．What effects AI has on the U. S. labor-market. B．What makes Mr. Amodei make the prediction.
C．Why Mr. Amodei’s forecast makes little sense. D．Why we should take AI development seriously.
31．What does the author mainly argue for
A．It’s time to get ready for AI’s arrival. B．Humans have adapted to AI advances.
C．Some jobs are not suitable for AI to do. D．AI is not responsible for unemployment.
D
Have you ever felt full after a meal but still wanted dessert (甜点) Or taken a cookie just because it was there Many of us find it hard to refuse sugar. In fact, a study showed that 94% of lab rats preferred sweetened water to cocaine (可卡因). While sugar is not as harmful, it influences our brain in a similar way, bringing us pleasure and making us want more.
It’s natural for our bodies to ask for sugar. However, unlike fruits and vegetables, some foods have high amounts of sugar added to them. According to Dr. Vera Tarman, this can make eating sugar addictive— similar to how coca leaves were safe, but cocaine was dangerous. “Signs include thinking about sweets all the time, eating even when full.” Dr. Tarman said, “many people feel a meal isn’t complete without dessert— it becomes a habit.”
Too much sugar can harm your health, leading to heart problems, headaches, and low energy. What’s worse, it can keep your blood sugar high, making you feel tired and unwell. To break the habit, Dr. Tarman suggests stopping sugar completely rather than slowly cutting down on it. The first five days may be difficult— you might feel easily annoyed or have trouble sleeping. But by the second week, these feelings weaken. By the third week, you won’t even miss sugar.
“Start family-wide dietary improvements by eliminating sugary food intake, developing healthier eating habits for all members. After a meal, do something else, like drinking tea or taking a walk, to avoid reaching for sweets.” said Dr. Tarman. “Keep telling yourself why you’re quitting— maybe to build energy or lose weight, and ask a friend to support you.”
Quitting sugar may seem impossible at first, but after a few weeks, your taste will change. An apple will taste sweeter, and you’ll enjoy the freedom from sugar addiction.
32．According to Dr. Tarman, what makes people addicted to sugar
A．Habit of dessert eating. B．Added sugar in a diet.
C．Natural need of bodies. D．Similarity to coca leaves.
33．What does Dr. Tarman suggest doing to avoid sugar addiction
A．Giving up sugar for good. B．Stopping eating sugar gradually.
C．Cutting down on sugar for two weeks. D．Weakening sugar influence slowly.
34．Which may replace the underlined word “eliminating” in paragraph 4
A．Making up. B．Applying for. C．Cutting out. D．Focusing on.
35．What positive change can you expect after quitting sugar
A．You can enjoy sweet foods freely. B．Apples will not taste sweet to you.
C．You are sure to have a sweet tooth. D．A better sense of taste may come along.
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。
Many of us have gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online content at increased playback speeds. 36 One survey of students in California, for example, showed that 89% changed the playback speed of online lectures, while there are plenty of articles about how common speedy viewing has become.
It is easy to think of some advantages to watching things more quickly. It can let you enjoy more content in the same time, or go through the same piece of content several times to get the most out of it. 37 It might free up time for consolidating (巩固) knowledge or doing practice tests. Watching quickly is also a good way of making sure you focus on what you’re up to.
38 It turns out that there are one or two of those as well. Researchers point out that processing (处理) speech information in humans includes three steps of memory: receiving the information, storing it, and later understanding it. During the process, the brain needs time to collect the continuous speech, deal with words in real time and then understand their meanings.
People generally speak at a speed of about 150 words per minute, though doubling the speed to 300 or even tripling it to 450 words is still understandable. 39 At higher speaking speed, listeners may get the immediate meaning but store less information over time.
Incoming information is stored for a certain time in our memory, waiting to be reorganized and turned into a form that is ready for the long-term memory. Because memory space is limited, if too much information arrives too quickly it can be hard to deal with. 40
A．But what about the disadvantages
B．This leads to brain overload and loss of information.
C．For younger people, it might even be the common case.
D．This could be especially useful in an educational background.
E．Speeding up may save time, but it can weaken deep understanding.
F．The question is more about the quality of the memories that we form.
G．Fast listening might improve social communication among young people.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Last Saturday I received a call from my close friend, Peter. He asked me to help with his group who provided musical performances at the local hospitals. At first I was unwilling to go because of my unfinished homework, but I was finally persuaded into helping out this one time, which turned out to be an unforgettable and fruitful experience.
That evening, I was picked up by Peter and went to a local hospital with him, taking my guitar and hoping I could sing some solo songs with his musical group.
An extremely large hospital came into our sight. When guided into the hall, we were shocked to find so many patients and staff there. What we saw next aroused our sympathy. Some patients were in wheelchairs or with their arms in bandages, while others were with their drips attached. Some faces were rather pale; some wore worried expressions; some walked as fast as they could. Maybe their days seemed to be dull during the period of their treatment, so our coming brought some color into their lives. Seeing their happy faces, I thought it was worthwhile to join Peter's group.
Among the audience, I spotted one particular young girl aged about 16, who was wearing a head scarf and appeared to be more delighted than the others. When we started our performance, excitement filled the hall. Peter mentioned to me that the young girl I had noticed earlier was singing along with all our songs quietly to herself. At a break, out of curiosity, I asked one of the nurses about the girl. She said that the girl suffered serious burns and was under treatment and that she was a bit down these days, but our performance had lifted her spirits. Our songs moved all the people present. They all cheered for us, including the young girl and we were inspired. Facing these lovely people, we really wanted to do more.
注意：1、续写词数应为150左右；
2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We asked the girl if she would like to sing with us.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After her performance, I saw a change in the girl's eyes.

A篇【导语】这是一篇应用文。介绍了美国檀香山通过的一项禁止过马路时看手机的法律，并呈现了四位网友对此的不同观点。
21．细节理解题。根据Grace的回复“This law makes sense.(这项法律有道理)”以及“It would be for the safety of all Americans.(这是为了所有美国人的安全)”和Sally的回复“Using your phone on the road can be unsafe. That’s why more cities should stop people looking at phones when crossing the street! (在路上使用手机是不安全的。这就是为什么更多城市应该禁止人们在过马路时看手机)”可知，Grace和Sally都明确支持这项法律。故选D项。
22．细节理解题。根据Andrew的回复“I’m not saying it’s safe, but we don’t need the government to babysit us like our parents.(我并不是说这绝对安全，但我们也不需要政府像父母那样对我们进行监管照顾)”和Alice的回复“Still, I believe people should have the freedom to choose.(不过，我仍然认为人们应该有选择的自由)”可知，反对者的核心理由是政府不应过度干预，成年人应有自主决策权。B选项“每个人都应该自己做决定”准确地概括了这一理由。故选B项。
23．推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“Honolulu, Hawaii, recently passed a law making it unlawful to look down at a phone while crossing the street. (夏威夷的檀香山最近通过了一项法律，规定过马路时低头看手机是违法的)”可知，文章开篇引出话题。根据第一段最后一句“Following are some replies posted by netizens.(以下是一些网友的回复)”可知，就该话题一些网友进行了回复。随后以“—[网名] from [地点]”的形式呈现了四个人的不同观点，这是网络论坛发帖和回复格式。因此，该文章最有可能来自一篇网络帖子。故选A项。
B篇【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了102岁的美国医生霍华德 塔克是吉尼斯纪录认证的最年长执业医生，他认为退休是长寿天敌，100岁才停诊，如今仍教学、处理法医案件。他的长寿得益于健康生活方式与活跃大脑，尽显积极有目标的人生态度。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Tucker believes “retirement (退休) is the enemy of a long life.” He thinks having a reason to wake up each morning is important. Even after the hospital where he worked closed in 2022, he hasn’t completely ruled out returning to medical work. Today, he teaches future doctors and works on medico-legal cases. a job made possible by a law degree he earned at 67.(塔克博士认为“退休会缩短人的寿命”。他认为每天早上有个明确的起床理由很重要。即便他工作过的那家医院在2022年关闭了，他也没有完全放弃重返医疗行业的想法。如今，他为未来的医生授课，并处理医疗法律相关案件。这一切都得益于他在67岁时获得的法学学位)”可知，塔克医生对抗退休的方式是持续保持生活目标。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第三段“For Dr. Tucker, a long life isn’t just about good genes (基因) from his parents, who lived to 84 and 96, but more of his healthy lifestyle including following a simple diet, often missing lunch to have a clear head, exercising daily, walking at least four kilometers, and staying away from smoking while drinking a little alcohol.(对于塔克医生来说，长寿不仅仅得益于他父母良好的基因（他父母分别活到了84岁和96岁），还在于他保持的健康生活方式，比如遵循简单的饮食习惯、经常不吃午餐以便头脑清醒、每天锻炼、每天至少步行四公里，以及远离吸烟同时适量饮酒)”可知，在塔克医生漫长的一生中，健康的日常生活方式起到了更大的作用。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Experiencing a fall in his late 80s that ended his skiing days with a broken neck, Tucker hasn’t lost his passion for life, always finding new ways to stay active instead.(塔克在80多岁时遭遇了一次摔倒，导致颈部骨折，结束了他滑雪的生涯。但他并未丧失对生活的热情，而是始终寻找着新的方式来保持活力)”可知，塔克医生在80多岁遭遇事故后仍保持着活跃的状态。故选D。
27．推理判断题。根据第二段“Dr. Tucker believes “retirement (退休) is the enemy of a long life.” He thinks having a reason to wake up each morning is important. Even after the hospital where he worked closed in 2022, he hasn’t completely ruled out returning to medical work. Today, he teaches future doctors and works on medico-legal cases, a job made possible by a law degree he earned at 67.(塔克博士认为“退休会缩短人的寿命”。他认为每天早上有个明确的起床理由很重要。即便他工作过的那家医院在2022年关闭了，他也没有完全放弃重返医疗行业的想法。如今，他为未来的医生授课，并处理医疗法律相关案件。这一切都得益于他在67岁时获得的法学学位)”以及最后一段“Experiencing a fall in his late 80s that ended his skiing days with a broken neck, Tucker hasn’t lost his passion for life, always finding new ways to stay active instead.(塔克在80多岁时遭遇了一次摔倒，导致颈部骨折，结束了他滑雪的生涯。但他并未丧失对生活的热情，而是始终寻找着新的方式来保持活力)”可知，Dr. Tucker102岁仍保持生活目标（教学、处理法医案件），体现“有目标（purposeful）”；面对摔倒事故仍不放弃热情，专注充实生活，体现“积极乐观（positive）”。故选C。
C篇【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讲述人工智能对就业的影响，作者通过历史技术革新案例、经济学分析和工作特性，反驳AI会导致大规模失业的担忧，作者认为AI不会导致大量失业，因历史技术变革未引发失业潮，且AI可提升生产力、创造新需求及人类专属工作。
28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Humans have experienced several technological disruptions (扰乱) before, and now we have adapted to meet them. AI won’t be any different. There was a time when the elevators in hotels and office buildings were staffed by human operators. Then in the 1930s, elevator companies began installing “robot elevators” with automatic controls, and eventually elevator operators completely disappeared, with no tide of unemployment.(人类此前经历过多次技术变革，如今我们也已适应并应对了这些变革。人工智能也不例外。曾经有段时间，酒店和办公楼里的电梯都是由人工操作员来操控的。到了20世纪30年代，电梯公司开始安装配备自动控制系统的‘机器人电梯’，最终电梯操作员完全消失不见了，而且也没有出现大规模的失业潮)”可知，提到“电梯操作员”是为了阐明一个观点，技术革新虽取代旧工作但未引发失业，以此支撑AI不会导致失业的核心观点。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Those people do not realize that the savings from increased productivity is recycled back into the economy. This creates new demand and in turn creates more jobs.(这些人没有意识到，由于生产效率的提高所节省下来的资金会重新投入经济之中。这会带来新的需求，进而创造更多的就业机会)”可知，那些将人工智能视为会取代工作岗位的人没有理解到人工智能的应用会创造新的工作岗位。故选C。
30．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Let’s imagine that Mr. Amodei’s forecast turns out to be accurate. Entry-level white-collar jobs account for less than 15% of the U. S. labor force. Wiping out half of them in five years would mean roughly 2.6 million jobs lost per year. That sounds like a lot, but the fact is that about 20 million U. S. workers are laid off every year. In other words, the supposed AI job loss, even if it occurred, would be the equivalent of only about six weeks of normal labor-market disturbance.(假设阿莫迪先生的预测是准确的。美国的初级白领工作岗位仅占劳动力总数的不到15%。在五年内将其削减一半意味着每年将有大约260万个工作岗位消失。这听起来确实很多，但事实是，美国每年约有 2000 万工人失业。换句话说，即便所谓的‘人工智能导致的失业’情况真的发生了，那也只是相当于正常劳动力市场波动的约六周时间)”可知，最后一段的重点是为什么阿莫迪先生的预测毫无意义。故选C。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段中“Humans have experienced several technological disruptions (扰乱) before, and now we have adapted to meet them. AI won’t be any different.(人类之前经历过几次技术颠覆，现在我们已经适应了它们。AI不会有什么不同。)”、第三段中“Some people see AI as a job killer. However, research shows that broad adoption of AI could boost the country’s productivity growth by 1.5% per year, resulting in higher salaries, higher profits and more savings. (有些人将人工智能视为工作杀手。然而，研究表明，广泛采用人工智能可以使该国的生产率每年增长1.5%，从而带来更高的工资、更高的利润和更多的储蓄。)”以及第四段中“Further, there is a great deal of work that only humans can do. (此外，有很多工作只有人类才能做。)”可知，作者认为人类能够适应AI进步，AI的应用反而可能创造新工作机会，且有些工作AI无法替代，由此可知，作者主要论证AI不是失业的责任源头，并非造成失业的原因。故选D。
D篇【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们易对添加糖上瘾的现象、过量吃糖的危害，以及塔尔曼博士提出的彻底戒糖等相关建议。
32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, unlike fruits and vegetables, some foods have high amounts of sugar added to them. According to Dr. Vera Tarman, this can make eating sugar addictive— similar to how coca leaves were safe, but cocaine was dangerous.(然而，不同于水果和蔬菜，有些食物中添加了大量糖分。Vera Tarman博士表示，这会让吃糖变得上瘾——就像古柯叶本身是安全的，但可卡因却具有危害性一样)”可知，Tarman博士认为饮食中添加的大量糖分让人对糖上瘾。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To break the habit, Dr. Tarman suggests stopping sugar completely rather than slowly cutting down on it.(要打破这个习惯，Tarman博士建议彻底戒糖，而不是慢慢减少摄入量)”可知，Tarman博士建议彻底戒糖来避免糖瘾。故选A。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句““Start family-wide dietary improvements by eliminating sugary food intake, developing healthier eating habits for all members. After a meal, do something else, like drinking tea or taking a walk, to avoid reaching for sweets.” said Dr. Tarman.(“全家一起改善饮食，eliminating含糖食物，为所有家庭成员培养更健康的饮食习惯。饭后可以做点别的事，比如喝茶或散步，避免伸手去拿甜食。”Tarman博士说)”可知，此处是为了培养健康饮食习惯，需通过“戒掉含糖食物摄入”来改善饮食，“eliminating”意为“去除、戒掉”。选项C“cutting out”意为“停止、戒除”，符合句意。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Quitting sugar may seem impossible at first, but after a few weeks, your taste will change. An apple will taste sweeter, and you’ll enjoy the freedom from sugar addiction.(一开始，戒糖似乎是不可能的事，但几周后，你的味觉会发生改变。苹果会尝起来更甜，你也会享受摆脱糖瘾后的自由)”可知，戒糖后味觉会发生积极改变，即更好的味觉可能会随之而来。。故选D。
七选五【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出很多人（尤其年轻人）习惯加速收听观看在线内容，这能节省时间、提升专注度，在教育场景也有用，但高语速会影响大脑信息存储与深度理解，还可能导致大脑过载、信息丢失。
36．根据上文“Many of us have gotten into the habit of listening to podcasts, audiobooks and other online content at increased playback speeds. (我们很多人已经养成了以较快速度收听播客、有声读物以及其他在线内容的习惯。)”以及后文“One survey of students in California, for example, showed that 89% changed the playback speed of online lectures, while there are plenty of articles about how common speedy viewing has become. (例如，对加利福尼亚州学生的一项调查表明，89%的学生会调整在线课程的播放速度，而且关于人们普遍采用快速观看方式这一现象的文章也比比皆是。)”可知，前文提到很多人习惯加速收听观看在线内容，后文用加州学生调查（89% 调整课程播放速度）举例说明这一现象的普遍性。选项C（对年轻人来说，这甚至可能是常态。）衔接前文“普遍习惯”，引出后文学生群体的具体案例，让逻辑更连贯。故选C。
37．根据上文“It is easy to think of some advantages to watching things more quickly. It can let you enjoy more content in the same time, or go through the same piece of content several times to get the most out of it. (很容易就能想到快速观看内容的一些好处。它能让你在相同的时间内欣赏到更多的内容，或者反复观看同一段内容以充分领会其内涵。)”以及后文“It might free up time for consolidating (巩固) knowledge or doing practice tests. Watching quickly is also a good way of making sure you focus on what you’re up to. (这或许能为你腾出时间来巩固知识或者进行模拟测试。快速观看也是一种确保你专注于当前任务的好方法。)”可知，前文列举加速观看的优势（同一时间获取更多内容、反复学习），后文提到“腾出时间巩固知识或做练习题”，指向教育场景。选项D（这在教育背景下可能特别有用。）将前文的优势与后文的教育相关用途结合，精准衔接语义，符合语境。故选D。
38．根据后文“It turns out that there are one or two of those as well. Researchers point out that processing (处理) speech information in humans includes three steps of memory: receiving the information, storing it, and later understanding it. During the process, the brain needs time to collect the continuous speech, deal with words in real time and then understand their meanings. (结果发现，实际上也有这样的情况。研究人员指出，人类处理语音信息的过程包含三个记忆步骤：接收信息、存储信息以及之后理解信息。在这个过程中，大脑需要时间来收集连续的语音内容、实时处理单词，并最终理解其含义。)”可知，前文全是加速观看的好处，后文转而讨论大脑处理语言信息的步骤，暗示存在弊端。选项A（但缺点呢？）以转折问句引出下文对劣势的分析，起到承上启下的关键作用。故选A。
39．根据上文“People generally speak at a speed of about 150 words per minute, though doubling the speed to 300 or even tripling it to 450 words is still understandable. (人们通常的说话速度约为每分钟150个单词，即便将速度提高到300个或甚至更高达到450个单词每分钟，也是可以理解的。)”以及后文“At higher speaking speed, listeners may get the immediate meaning but store less information over time .(在语速较快的情况下，听众可能会较快理解其意思，但随着时间的推移，他们所记住的信息会相对较少。)”可知，前文说加速到 300-450词/分钟仍可理解，后文强调“高语速下长期记忆存储的信息更少”，核心聚焦“记忆质量”。选项 F（问题更多在于我们形成的记忆质量。）衔接前文“可理解”与后文 “记忆存储不足”，点明讨论重点的转变。故选F。
40．根据上文“Incoming information is stored for a certain time in our memory, waiting to be reorganized and turned into a form that is ready for the long-term memory. Because memory space is limited, if too much information arrives too quickly it can be hard to deal with. (新接收的信息会在我们的记忆中保存一段时间，等待被重新整理并转化为适合长期记忆的形式。由于记忆空间有限，如果信息来得太快且太多，就可能会难以处理。)”可知，前文解释记忆空间有限，过快涌入的信息难以处理。选项B（这会导致大脑过载和信息丢失。）是前文“信息过量过快”的直接结果，总结前文逻辑，让论证闭环。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了秘鲁的历史、语言及值得游览的四个地方。

46．例文
Dear Adam,
Thank you so much for your thoughtful letter. It’s true that we’re currently making the important decision about which subjects to focus on.
This choice was not an easy one for me. While I’ve always enjoyed literature and history for their imaginative depth, I also recognize the importance of science subjects like physics and maths. What eventually guided my decision was my long-term goal of becoming an engineer. After much reflection, I feel motivated and ready for the challenge.
I’d love to know how subject choices are handled in your country. Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,
Li Hua

47．One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
We asked the girl if she would like to sing with us. At first, she refused our suggestion without the slightest hesitation, saying she had never sung in front of audience before. Additionally, she was afraid of messing it up. However, after our constant encouragement and persuasion, she finally made up her mind to give it a shot as part of our group. Surprisingly, her soft and melodious voice made her performance a great success. All the audience burst into deafening applause and cheers which lasted for several minutes at the end of her performance.
Paragraph 2:
After her performance, I saw a change in the girl’s eyes. They seemed much brighter than when we had first met her just a couple of hours ago. She appeared to have gained a lot of confidence from this experience. She told me we had made her day. A bright smile spread across the little girl’s face. I was pleased that I neither missed the opportunity to help others nor just thought of myself and my own needs. Not only stepping out did help those in need, but also it allow me to taste the sweetness of helping others.
