But when Eliza takes the lead in school and district spelling bee competitions, Saul takes it as a sign that she is sure to be of greatness.
The Worlds We Think We Know: Stories by Dalia Rosenfeld
Very funny, this collection of stories takes readers from the United States to Israel and back again to examine the secret reaches of our own minds and hearts. The characters in the book are influenced by the forces beyond their control—war, adulthood, family.
At the End of the World, Turn Left by Zhanna Slor

Valerie L. Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.
Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy’s First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn’t help her.
She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA.
In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.
Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley’s Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal.
24. What do we know about Thomas’ early life
A. She was talented in science.
B. She liked working with her father.
C. She lacked support for her interest.
D. She preferred to read boys’ books.
25. What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Did well in. B. Had confidence in.
C. Was curious about. D. Was concerned with.
26. What is the advantage of Thomas’ invention over flat mirrors
A. It takes pictures more clearly.
B. It transmits images more quickly.
C. It changes the position of the image.
D. It can send images to the Earth from space.
27. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Thomas’ future plans. B. Thomas’ retirement life.
C. Thomas’ research theory. D. Thomas’ lifetime achievements.
C
For anyone coming of age (成年) in the last 60 years, Lego has been a long-standing friend. The tiny plastic bricks that fit together have provided great pleasure for generations.
In 1932, Christiansen founded the construction toy company the Lego Group. By 1949, his company began producing tiny plastic building bricks that children seemed to love. Nine years later, the Lego bricks took shape. Lego also kept pace with technology. Through the 1980s, Lego sets began to include electric lights and sound-making equipment. But by 2003, Lego nearly went broke (破产) as the firm dealt with changing play habits. Kids were more interested in playing video games and surfing the Internet than playing with Lego bricks.
The company took quick action. Within 10 years, Lego achieved great success. It was mainly because of Lego’s Future Lab. The lab was made up of 50 or so researchers, scientists and designers. Their job was to invent new play experiences for children. To that end, the company joined hands with universities and others in the hope of finding out what kids wanted. And the effort finally paid off.
“From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion,” Amanda Madore, senior manager at Lego Systems Inc, said. “We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.”
Although Lego bricks have always been fun to play with, research has shown they can be central to a child’s education and cognitive acuity (认知敏锐度). Specifically, Lego bricks are an important tool that can help children with autism (自闭症). Research has found that children with autism become more social and communicative while playing with the bricks in group settings. Part of the reason is that Lego requires children to communicate, set rules, make decisions and work with others. In this sense, Lego bricks are hard to replace.
28. Why did the Lego Group face great challenges in the early 2000s
A. It failed to keep up with the times. B. Its after-sale service was poor.
C. Its original customers had grow up. D. It paid too much attention to technology.
29. What can we infer from Amanda Madore’s words
A. The company mainly aims to attract kids. B. Lego bricks are of really high quality.
C. Lego bricks help deal with mental problems. D. The company will satisfy individual needs.
30. What can we conclude about Lego bricks from the last paragraph
A. They can be regarded as a treatment. B. They can promote communication.
C. They can improve education systems. D. They can take the place of other toys.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. When Lego became popular. B. Why Lego has stood the test of time.
C. What Lego has taught builders. D. How Lego bricks were created.
D
Black taxis have been a common sight in London for many years. Now these taxis and their drivers have become the focus of a new study into Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). For those on the outside, it may seem that behind the wheel of these black taxis are just common people who help move us to our places. But hidden within their brains is a map of London’s streets that has put GPS technology to shame for many years.
“The knowledge”, the test for London’s taxi drivers, stands among the hardest tests one could ever experience. It includes remembering information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about between 25,000 and 56,000 streets in London, depending on who’s taking the test, from the Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes (居民巷).
Usually, the hippocampus (海马体) feels the influences of Alzheimer’s most. The hippocampus controls the brain’s short-term memory and spatial memory (空间记忆) systems. University College London and Alzheimer’s Research UK are coming together to study these taxi drivers’ brains. And the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to grow as they go on doing the job for more years. This suggests that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the influence on the general population.
Lead researcher Hugo Spiers was part of the team which 20 years ago found that, like birds’, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi slowly got bigger. In fact, research has found for years that any animal that requires detailed spatial knowledge of their land experiences growth in the hippocampus.
Spiers’ team hopes to deal with Alzheimer’s by studying the taxi drivers’ brains, since the hippocampus becomes smaller with the development of Alzheimer’s. To collect more information, Spiers has asked thirty London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around. The machine will allow the researchers to keep a real-time watch on the workings of the hippocampus. “It’s been a joy to help scientists fight the disease,” said taxi driver Robert Lordan.
32. What can we learn about “The knowledge”
A. It lasts for a few minutes only. B. It invites some residents to be testers.
C. It is a great challenge to people’s memory. D. It is usually held in London’s busy streets.
33. What has been found about the taxi drivers’ hippocampi
A. They are improved thanks to daily talks. B. They grow together with taxi drivers’ job.
C. They fail to control short-term memory. D. They are more likely to be influenced.
34. What does the research on animals show
A. Animals’ hippocampi are quite different from humans’.
B. The new study can do good to animals as well.
C. More detailed studies on animals’ brains are needed.
D. Animals’ hippocampi are similar to humans’.
35. Why do researchers watch taxi drivers with an MRI machine
A. To decide who has the largest hippocampus.
B. To find out what their hippocampi are doing at work.
C. To know how Alzheimer’s develops in their brains.
D. To test whether the machine influences the hippocampus.

【原文】M: Good afternoon, students. My name is Dr. Adam Tilly. For over 20 years, I’ve journeyed from an eager student like yourselves to an expert in renewable energy. I’m here today to share my journey. Early in my career, I saw the ocean as an endless power source. We designed devices to efficiently transform the ocean’s energy into electricity. But then, something happened. A video showed our devices were harming some sea life. We didn’t give up. Instead, we made our devices safer. We also started looking at other ways to make power, like using wind on land. This way, we could protect the ocean and still make renewable energy. Because of this, I’ve made a course called “Renewable Energy and Environmental Impact”. You can take it next semester. It’ll help you learn about energy and how to protect the environment. In addition, we offer an exciting work experience opportunity at our Renewable Energy Lab. Here, you can apply your classroom learning and witness first-hand how innovation and environmental responsibility combine. Remember, education is not just about gaining knowledge, but also about understanding its application and implications in the real world. Your journey towards being professionals starts now, and I urge you to approach it with both ambition and awareness. Thank you.

Valerie L. Thomas is an African American scientist and inventor best known for her patented (专利的) illusion transmitter (幻觉发射器) and contributions to NASA research.
Thomas was born in 1943 in Maryland. She was interested in science as a child. At the age of eight, her curiosity about how things worked inspired her to borrow a book called The Boy’s First Book of Radio and Electronics, which she took home hoping her father would help her take on some projects in it. However, he didn’t help her.
She attended an all-girls high school that did not help her with hands on projects either. But this changed in college, when Thomas was admitted to Morgan State University as one of the only two women in her class to major in physics. Thomas excelled in her studies. She graduated with excellent results and accepted a position as a data analyst at NASA.
In the 1970s, she managed the development of the image-processing systems for Landsat, the first satellite (人造卫星) to send images to the Earth from space. In 1980, Thomas received a patent for an illusion transmitter. The device produces optical illusion images by means of two concave mirrors (凹面镜). Unlike flat mirrors, which produce images that appear to be inside, or behind the mirror, concave mirrors create images that appear to be real, or in front of the mirror itself. This technology was later used by NASA and has since been adapted for use in surgery (外科手术) as well as the production of television and video screens.
Thomas continued to work for NASA until her retirement in 1995. Over the course of her career, Thomas contributed widely to the study of space. She helped develop computer program designs that supported research on Halley’s Comet, the ozone layer, and satellite technology. For her achievements, Thomas received a number of NASA awards including the Goddard Space Flight Center Award of Merit and the NASA Equal Opportunity Medal.
24. What do we know about Thomas’ early life
A. She was talented in science.
B. She liked working with her father.
C. She lacked support for her interest.
D. She preferred to read boys’ books.
25. What does the underlined phrase “excelled in” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Did well in. B. Had confidence in.
C. Was curious about. D. Was concerned with.
26. What is the advantage of Thomas’ invention over flat mirrors
A. It takes pictures more clearly.
B. It transmits images more quickly.
C. It changes the position of the image.
D. It can send images to the Earth from space.
27. What does the last paragraph focus on
A. Thomas’ future plans. B. Thomas’ retirement life.
C. Thomas’ research theory. D. Thomas’ lifetime achievements.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. D

For anyone coming of age (成年) in the last 60 years, Lego has been a long-standing friend. The tiny plastic bricks that fit together have provided great pleasure for generations.
In 1932, Christiansen founded the construction toy company the Lego Group. By 1949, his company began producing tiny plastic building bricks that children seemed to love. Nine years later, the Lego bricks took shape. Lego also kept pace with technology. Through the 1980s, Lego sets began to include electric lights and sound-making equipment. But by 2003, Lego nearly went broke (破产) as the firm dealt with changing play habits. Kids were more interested in playing video games and surfing the Internet than playing with Lego bricks.
The company took quick action. Within 10 years, Lego achieved great success. It was mainly because of Lego’s Future Lab. The lab was made up of 50 or so researchers, scientists and designers. Their job was to invent new play experiences for children. To that end, the company joined hands with universities and others in the hope of finding out what kids wanted. And the effort finally paid off.
“From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion,” Amanda Madore, senior manager at Lego Systems Inc, said. “We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.”
Although Lego bricks have always been fun to play with, research has shown they can be central to a child’s education and cognitive acuity (认知敏锐度). Specifically, Lego bricks are an important tool that can help children with autism (自闭症). Research has found that children with autism become more social and communicative while playing with the bricks in group settings. Part of the reason is that Lego requires children to communicate, set rules, make decisions and work with others. In this sense, Lego bricks are hard to replace.
28. Why did the Lego Group face great challenges in the early 2000s
A. It failed to keep up with the times. B. Its after-sale service was poor.
C. Its original customers had grow up. D. It paid too much attention to technology.
29. What can we infer from Amanda Madore’s words
A. The company mainly aims to attract kids. B. Lego bricks are of really high quality.
C. Lego bricks help deal with mental problems. D. The company will satisfy individual needs.
30. What can we conclude about Lego bricks from the last paragraph
A. They can be regarded as a treatment. B. They can promote communication.
C. They can improve education systems. D. They can take the place of other toys.
31. What is the main idea of the text
A. When Lego became popular. B. Why Lego has stood the test of time.
C. What Lego has taught builders. D. How Lego bricks were created.
【答案】28 A 29. D 30. B 31. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了乐高积木在遇到瓶颈时迅速采取行动，取得巨大成功，挽救公司濒临倒闭的危机。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段倒数最后两句话“But by 2003, Lego nearly went broke (破产) as the firm dealt with changing play habits. Kids were more interested in playing video games and surfing the Internet than playing with Lego bricks.(但到2003年，由于公司应对不断变化的游戏习惯，乐高几乎破产。比起玩乐高积木，孩子们更喜欢玩电子游戏和上网)”可知，在21世纪乐面对很大的挑战是因为孩子们的游戏习惯发生变化，他们更喜欢玩电子游戏和上网，而乐高并没有紧跟时代，做出调整。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段Amanda Madore说的话“From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion(从最年轻的建筑商到成年人，我们为每个年龄、建筑技能和兴趣的建筑商提供了乐高解决方案，适合任何游戏场合)”以及“We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.(我们专注于品牌对儿童的意义——无论是身体上的还是数字上的——我们继续满足他们的需求，所以我们相信我们的商业潜力和我们的游戏材料一样是无限的)”可推知，乐高公司会满足个人的需求，为人们设计出他们喜欢的产品。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第二、三句话“Specifically, Lego bricks are an important tool that can help children with autism (自闭症). Research has found that children with autism become more social and communicative while playing with the bricks in group settings. (具体来说，乐高积木是一种可以帮助自闭症儿童的重要工具。研究发现，自闭症儿童在集体环境中玩积木时，会变得更善于社交和交流)”可推知，乐高积木可以促进交流，从而帮助自闭症的患者。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段的“The company took quick action. Within 10 years, Lego achieved great success.(公司迅速采取了行动。在10年内，乐高取得了巨大的成功)”和第四段““From the youngest builders to adults, we have a Lego solution for every builder of any age, building skill and interest for any play occasion,” Amanda Madore, senior manager at Lego Systems Inc, said. “We focus on what the brand means to children—both physically and digitally—and we continue to serve their needs, so we believe our business potential is as limitless as our play material.”(乐高系统公司高级经理阿曼达·马多雷说:“从最年轻的建设者到成年人，我们为任何年龄、任何技能和任何游戏场合的每个建设者提供了乐高解决方案。”“我们专注于这个品牌对孩子们的意义——无论是实体的还是数字的——我们将继续满足他们的需求，所以我们相信我们的商业潜力和我们的游戏材料一样是无限的。”)”以及全文可知，文章主要介绍了乐高在21世纪初即将破产时，迅速采取行动，取得了巨大成功，挽救公司濒临倒闭的危机。所以“为什么乐高经受住了时间的考验。”为本文的主旨大意。故选B。
D
Black taxis have been a common sight in London for many years. Now these taxis and their drivers have become the focus of a new study into Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). For those on the outside, it may seem that behind the wheel of these black taxis are just common people who help move us to our places. But hidden within their brains is a map of London’s streets that has put GPS technology to shame for many years.
“The knowledge”, the test for London’s taxi drivers, stands among the hardest tests one could ever experience. It includes remembering information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about between 25,000 and 56,000 streets in London, depending on who’s taking the test, from the Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes (居民巷).
Usually, the hippocampus (海马体) feels the influences of Alzheimer’s most. The hippocampus controls the brain’s short-term memory and spatial memory (空间记忆) systems. University College London and Alzheimer’s Research UK are coming together to study these taxi drivers’ brains. And the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to grow as they go on doing the job for more years. This suggests that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the influence on the general population.
Lead researcher Hugo Spiers was part of the team which 20 years ago found that, like birds’, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi slowly got bigger. In fact, research has found for years that any animal that requires detailed spatial knowledge of their land experiences growth in the hippocampus.
Spiers’ team hopes to deal with Alzheimer’s by studying the taxi drivers’ brains, since the hippocampus becomes smaller with the development of Alzheimer’s. To collect more information, Spiers has asked thirty London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around. The machine will allow the researchers to keep a real-time watch on the workings of the hippocampus. “It’s been a joy to help scientists fight the disease,” said taxi driver Robert Lordan.
32. What can we learn about “The knowledge”
A. It lasts for a few minutes only. B. It invites some residents to be testers.
C. It is a great challenge to people’s memory. D. It is usually held in London’s busy streets.
33. What has been found about the taxi drivers’ hippocampi
A. They are improved thanks to daily talks. B. They grow together with taxi drivers’ job.
C. They fail to control short-term memory. D. They are more likely to be influenced.
34. What does the research on animals show
A. Animals’ hippocampi are quite different from humans’.
B. The new study can do good to animals as well.
C. More detailed studies on animals’ brains are needed.
D. Animals’ hippocampi are similar to humans’.
35. Why do researchers watch taxi drivers with an MRI machine
A. To decide who has the largest hippocampus.
B. To find out what their hippocampi are doing at work.
C. To know how Alzheimer’s develops in their brains.
D. To test whether the machine influences the hippocampus.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在伦敦出租车和司机已经成为研究阿兹海默症的新焦点。他们的大脑中隐藏着一张伦敦街道地图，这让GPS技术相形见绌。原因是他们大脑中的海马体会随着工作年限的延长而继续扩大。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“It involves recalling information repeatedly from the memory of minute details about 56,0000 streets in London, from Trafalgar Square to the tiniest residential lanes.(它涉及从伦敦56万条街道的细节记忆中反复回忆信息，从特拉法加广场到最小的住宅小巷) ”可知，我们可以了解到The Knowledge是对人的记忆力是一个很大的挑战。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Moreover, the taxi drivers’ hippocampi continue to enlarge as they go on doing the job for more years, suggesting that perhaps there’s something we can do to reproduce the effect in the general population.(此外，出租车司机的海马体随着他们从事这项工作多年而不断扩大，这表明也许我们可以做些什么来在普通人群中重现这种影响)”可知，出租车司机的海马体和出租车司机的工作一起成长。故选B。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Indeed, research has found for years that any animal that requires a detailed spatial knowledge of their territory experiences growth in the hippocampus.(事实上，多年来的研究发现，任何需要详细领地空间知识的动物都会经历海马体的生长)”可知，作者提到动物(鸟类和松鼠)的研究是为了证明某些知识的长期使用会影响大脑的发育。因此对动物的研究表明动物的海马体与人类相似。故选D。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“To collect more information on the mechanisms that cause the “brain gain”. Spiers has asked thirty of London’s taxi drivers connected to an MRI machine to drive around on their routes.(为了收集更多关于“大脑增益”机制的信息，斯皮尔斯已经要求30名连接到核磁共振成像仪的伦敦出租车司机在他们的路线上四处开车)”可知，斯皮尔斯使用核磁共振成像仪的目的是收集更多关于导致“大脑增益”的机制的信息。因此，研究人员用核磁共振仪观察出租车司机是为了弄清楚他们的海马体在工作中的表现。故选B。
