SPACE JAM
For kids inspired by India’s moon landing, here are four destinations where families can explore the stars, space and beyond.
Kennedy Space Center, Florida (USA)
The NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center is a must for aspiring astronauts and space lovers. It’s organised into chronologically grouped attractions and tours based around mission launches from the US Space Program. Hands-on experiences range from live presentations delivered by astronauts to the new Astronaut Training Experience Center. It is also the closest place from which the public can view rocket lift-offs at Cape Canaveral.
Jodrell Bank, Cheshire (UK)
This world-leading science research institute is centred around the Grade I-listed Lovell Telescope. Its 35-acre grounds include lots of interactive fun and educational exhibits across several indoor spaces plus guided pathways to wander and outdoor facilities such as a pair of ‘whispering dishes’ for kids to call between. There’s also a programme of family friendly events, including the annual Bluedot Festival, which brings together live music and science workshops each July.
Pic du Midi, French Pyrenees (France)
There are few observatories in the world where you can eat a delicious dinner, spend the night stargazing before retiring to a comfortable cabin, then get up to watch the sun rise above the clouds. Getting to Pic du Midi is an adventure in its own right, involving a ride on two cable-cars up to 2,877m. Once there, guided astronomy sessions help kids discover Saturn and its rings, clusters of stars in deep space and solar flares on the sun’s surface via some of the world’s most powerful telescopes.
Mount Teide, Tenerife (Spain)
It’s home to the largest solar observatory in the world, which sits at an altitude of 2,390m on Spain’s highest mountain, the Teide volcano. Ride the cable-car up for a scientist-led tour, which includes the chance to observe the sun through portable solar telescopes. The special family visits include a fascinating science workshop exploring how observatory astrophysicists carry out their research.
21. Where can visitors watch rocket launches
A. Kennedy Space Center. B. Jodrell Bank.
C. Pic du Midi. D. Mount Teide.
22. In Jodrell Bank, visitors can do the followings except .
A. Enjoying live music. B. Exploring educational displays.
C. Wandering on guide-free pathways. D. Calling between via a designed device.
23. What do Pic du Midi and Mount Teide both offer
A. A comfortable cabin. B. A workshop of science.
C. Places for eating food. D. Guidance to observe the sun.

Leo and Max Ordo ez came roaring into the wooded park and soon they’re climbing up towering Douglas firs trees. The twins are joined by Leon Schwarcz, also 6, whose father, Joel, called out encouragement and kept a watchful eye on the young climbers.
Joel Schwarcz had a vision of turning the woods into a home for a treetop adventure park featuring platforms, bridges, and balancing. “My favorite thing is watching people come and look at the trees and go, ‘they maybe feel a little scared, but they’ll try it out and go just a little ways up and then come down and just go a little higher and higher each time, seeing people’s confidence grow as they are here for the hour and climbing.” he said.
Park guests get a safety belt and instructions and soon are to climb up one of four routes: The Brothers, Mount Whitney, Mount Olympus and Mount Rainier. Green bands on the trees mark out 20 feet, reds mark 30 feet and yellows mark 40 feet. Climbers can choose a difficulty level by sticking to certain color holds.
“I live here in Kingston,” he said, “and we’ve got a lot of great outdoor spaces but not a lot of opportunities for people to get out there and try something new without personally having the skill, so I wanted to bring something where people could just come on their own, and we give you the safety belt and instructions and then you’re free to play in the park.”
Schwarcz recommends that kids at a minimum of 5 years old, but the only set limits for the climbing systems are for weight. He notes that he has hosted both a 3-year-old climber and a 77-year-old climber at the park so far. “It’s a great activity for all ages.” he said.
He added, “No matter how high they get, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t make it to the yellow bands, just seeing people grow has been really the most rewarding part of starting this. It’s been super fun.”
24. What does Joel Schwarcz hope to provide with the treetop adventure park
A. A place for people to try new outdoor activities.
B. A challenging climbing experience for children.
C. A place for people to learn climbing skills.
D An opportunity for people to explore the woods.
25. What is the purpose of the colored bands on the trees in the park
A. To mark different climbing routes for climbers.
B. To indicate the height of different fir trees.
C. To tell the difficulty level of climbing routes.
D. To guide climbers to the top of the fir trees.
26. Who can participate in the treetop adventure park
A. Only experienced and cautious climbers. B. Only the children over the age of five.
C. Anyone, regardless of age or skill level. D. Only those who meet the weight limits.
27. Which of the following best describes Joel Schwarcz
A. Considerable. B. Indifferent. C. Ambitious. D. Demanding.
C
Many of us have a secret internal timeline we’re always measuring ourselves against: the ideal age we’d like to get that degree, get married, reach a certain title at work. Our fantasy timetable hasn’t evolved much over the years. A 2018 Stanford University study found that all generations agreed around 26 is the right age to get married, 27 the time to buy a house and 28 the moment to start a family.
What if it’s not Struggling to competing with the Boomers (生育高峰出生的人) in the job market and overwhelmed by rising social pressure, many millennials (千禧一代) just can’t reach the milestones as planned.
Younger generations are increasingly pushing back everything from the age they start a full-time job to when they begin saving for retirement, says Laura Carstensen, director of the Stanford Center on Longevity. There are some downsides to the delay. Give up buying a home and you could miss out on a massive house. Put off saving for retirement and you may face financial insecurity down the line. You body might not be suitable to have babies forever, and it will age.
However, we’re also living longer: 30 extra years, on average, over the last century. So, instead of rushing through all the big stuff, only to face a long period of stagnation at the end of our lives, why not spread out the milestones
Working as a lawyer in Rochester, N.Y., Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, “Did anyone make it after the age of 35 ” A gifted singer, she chose a career in law because she wanted the stability of steady work. She tried to make out some time for shows between court dates instead of committing to music full time.
Five days before her 40th birthday, she quit her job, which led to a bestselling solo album, television appearances and sold-out shows. “I don’t know if I could make this happen to me at 19,” she says.
28. Why does the author mention the study of Stanford University
A. To illustrate a popular belief. B. To recommend a study.
C. To support his argument. D. To give a scientific theory.
29. What does the underlined word “stagnation” refer to in the third paragraph
A. A state without life goals. B. A state without balance.
C. A state without leisure. D. A state without limitation.
30. What can we know about Danielle Ponder
A. She became a lawyer at 35. B. She misses her youthhood.
C. She regrets about her past life. D. She is a successful singer now.
31. What does the text seem to advocate
A. One should set life goals when young. B. One should succeed the earlier the better.
C. One should not set time limits to life goals. D. One should pursue a changeless life.
D
There are always unforeseen consequences when new technology is introduced. The truth is that the humans’ depending on machines is even increasing. I’ve spent much of my life analyzing through written and spoken words. Now I’m a technologist making use of natural language processing for human good. Given that I work in Artificial Intelligence, I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are destroying the way we communicate.
AI voices allow you to communicate verbally with your phone, they are normalized and yet cold, no matter which accent you tune your Siri or Amazon Alexa into. It’s difficult to normalize language to be harmless and neutral because we all interpret meaning differently based on living experiences. Yet this is exactly what we’re asking artificial intelligence to do for us on a billion-person scale. Once these rules are regulated by machine, they’re inevitably create much bigger problems.
We noticed that there is an active desire to only neutral language in AI-powered tool. AI-powered recommendations let us autocomplete our thoughts in real-time. These functions are now key features in our emails, word processors and browsers. The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. You can press and hold the Power button for a second to wake up AI voice. But what’s the cost We are trading uniqueness and precision for convenience. We’re also handing the power of acceptable speech to machine-controlled tools, not individuals.
In the physical world, we use words, phrases, tone, rhythm, humor and facial expressions to make us close and affective. We can tell where people were born based on their accents and phrasing. Humans are truly unique, and our communication is dynamic. So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. The impact of AI voice will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel.
32. What is the major problem of AI voice
A. AI voice is not precise enough. B. AI voice is unique and dynamic.
C. AI voice is not accepted by the public. D. AI voice is normalized but not flexible.
33. What does the underlined word “inevitable” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Incomparably. B. Impossibly. C. Unavoidably. D. Dishonestly.
34. What’s the author’s tone in the passage
A. Humorous. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. AI: Destroy Our Communication B. AI: Applied to Communication
C. AI: Modern Communication Tools D. AI: Deep Combination with Language

I had a younger sister, Michelle. But as a big brother, I rarely cared for her.
On a Sunday in March when I was 8, Easter (复活节) came. As usual, my sister and I would search for the hidden baskets full of candy and other things prepared for us. On that Easter morning, I got up early.
“Michelle!” I whispered to my sister, who was still sleeping in her bedroom. “Wake up. It’s Easter. We have to go and find our baskets.” She rolled over in bed and finally got up. “Mom and Dad are still sleeping,” I warned her as we walked out into the kitchen. “If we’re quiet, we can find our baskets without waking them up.”
It didn’t take long for me to find my basket, which had candy, toys, etc. This basket was obviously mine because it contained the latest issue of my favorite magazine. My sister continued searching in every room while I dropped my basket off at the kitchen table and started separating candy into different categories. 20 minutes later, my sister told me, “I can’t find it. I looked all over. Can you help me ” I decided to help her not because I felt sorry for her, but because I thought it was fun to find the missing basket.
We started searching through the cabinets (贮藏柜). Later, our parents were awake. Dad headed straight for the bathroom, while Mom walked out to make coffee. “Mom, I’ve found my basket,” I told her. She smiled and asked, “Where’s yours, Michelle ”
That’s when my six-year-old sister started to cry. “Let’s keep looking,” Mom said, taking hold of my sister’s hand. After searching the living room they went to the closet (贮藏室). There Michelle finally found her basket. But when she picked up her basket, we found everything in it had all been bitten and damaged by mice.
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。
Michelle dropped her basket on the floor, looking upset.

【答案】18. B 19. C 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our park. The subject of my talk today is this strange-looking tree that you see here in front of you. It is known as the bottle tree in some parts of the world. We prefer to call it by its more common name—the baobab. The baobab survives by storing water inside its trunk. The trunk can swell up enormously, and store up to 120,000 liters of water. You can see in this tree how the trunk is really fat and shaped like a bottle. Baobabs generally can reach heights of about 30 metres, but this one, at 15 metres, is just a baby by comparison. Baobabs have been used as shops in the past. Nowadays, however, a baobab is often used as a bus shelter because it provides shade when it’s sunny and protection when it rains! This amazing tree has another name—the Tree of Life, and when you think how it can create a complete ecosystem, supporting the life of many animals, you understand why. Then think of the many ways humans use this tree. Yes, I think this is the best name of all: the Tree of Life. Does anybody have any questions

SPACE JAM
For kids inspired by India’s moon landing, here are four destinations where families can explore the stars, space and beyond.
Kennedy Space Center, Florida (USA)
The NASA-operated Kennedy Space Center is a must for aspiring astronauts and space lovers. It’s organised into chronologically grouped attractions and tours based around mission launches from the US Space Program. Hands-on experiences range from live presentations delivered by astronauts to the new Astronaut Training Experience Center. It is also the closest place from which the public can view rocket lift-offs at Cape Canaveral.
Jodrell Bank, Cheshire (UK)
This world-leading science research institute is centred around the Grade I-listed Lovell Telescope. Its 35-acre grounds include lots of interactive fun and educational exhibits across several indoor spaces plus guided pathways to wander and outdoor facilities such as a pair of ‘whispering dishes’ for kids to call between. There’s also a programme of family friendly events, including the annual Bluedot Festival, which brings together live music and science workshops each July.
Pic du Midi, French Pyrenees (France)
There are few observatories in the world where you can eat a delicious dinner, spend the night stargazing before retiring to a comfortable cabin, then get up to watch the sun rise above the clouds. Getting to Pic du Midi is an adventure in its own right, involving a ride on two cable-cars up to 2,877m. Once there, guided astronomy sessions help kids discover Saturn and its rings, clusters of stars in deep space and solar flares on the sun’s surface via some of the world’s most powerful telescopes.
Mount Teide, Tenerife (Spain)
It’s home to the largest solar observatory in the world, which sits at an altitude of 2,390m on Spain’s highest mountain, the Teide volcano. Ride the cable-car up for a scientist-led tour, which includes the chance to observe the sun through portable solar telescopes. The special family visits include a fascinating science workshop exploring how observatory astrophysicists carry out their research.
21. Where can visitors watch rocket launches
A. Kennedy Space Center. B. Jodrell Bank.
C. Pic du Midi. D. Mount Teide.
22. In Jodrell Bank, visitors can do the followings except .
A. Enjoying live music. B. Exploring educational displays.
C. Wandering on guide-free pathways. D. Calling between via a designed device.
23. What do Pic du Midi and Mount Teide both offer
A. A comfortable cabin. B. A workshop of science.
C. Places for eating food. D. Guidance to observe the sun.
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个适合家庭探索太空的目的地。

Leo and Max Ordo ez came roaring into the wooded park and soon they’re climbing up towering Douglas firs trees. The twins are joined by Leon Schwarcz, also 6, whose father, Joel, called out encouragement and kept a watchful eye on the young climbers.
Joel Schwarcz had a vision of turning the woods into a home for a treetop adventure park featuring platforms, bridges, and balancing. “My favorite thing is watching people come and look at the trees and go, ‘they maybe feel a little scared, but they’ll try it out and go just a little ways up and then come down and just go a little higher and higher each time, seeing people’s confidence grow as they are here for the hour and climbing.” he said.
Park guests get a safety belt and instructions and soon are to climb up one of four routes: The Brothers, Mount Whitney, Mount Olympus and Mount Rainier. Green bands on the trees mark out 20 feet, reds mark 30 feet and yellows mark 40 feet. Climbers can choose a difficulty level by sticking to certain color holds.
“I live here in Kingston,” he said, “and we’ve got a lot of great outdoor spaces but not a lot of opportunities for people to get out there and try something new without personally having the skill, so I wanted to bring something where people could just come on their own, and we give you the safety belt and instructions and then you’re free to play in the park.”
Schwarcz recommends that kids at a minimum of 5 years old, but the only set limits for the climbing systems are for weight. He notes that he has hosted both a 3-year-old climber and a 77-year-old climber at the park so far. “It’s a great activity for all ages.” he said.
He added, “No matter how high they get, it doesn’t really matter if you don’t make it to the yellow bands, just seeing people grow has been really the most rewarding part of starting this. It’s been super fun.”
24. What does Joel Schwarcz hope to provide with the treetop adventure park
A. A place for people to try new outdoor activities.
B. A challenging climbing experience for children.
C. A place for people to learn climbing skills.
D. An opportunity for people to explore the woods.
25. What is the purpose of the colored bands on the trees in the park
A. To mark different climbing routes for climbers.
B. To indicate the height of different fir trees.
C. To tell the difficulty level of climbing routes.
D. To guide climbers to the top of the fir trees.
26. Who can participate in the treetop adventure park
A. Only experienced and cautious climbers. B. Only the children over the age of five.
C. Anyone, regardless of age or skill level. D. Only those who meet the weight limits.
27. Which of the following best describes Joel Schwarcz
A. Considerable. B. Indifferent. C. Ambitious. D. Demanding.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. C
【解析】

Many of us have a secret, internal timeline we’re always measuring ourselves against: the ideal age we’d like to get that degree, get married, reach a certain title at work. Our fantasy timetable hasn’t evolved much over the years. A 2018 Stanford University study found that all generations agreed around 26 is the right age to get married, 27 the time to buy a house and 28 the moment to start a family.
What if it’s not Struggling to competing with the Boomers (生育高峰出生的人) in the job market and overwhelmed by rising social pressure, many millennials (千禧一代) just can’t reach the milestones as planned.
Younger generations are increasingly pushing back everything from the age they start a full-time job to when they begin saving for retirement, says Laura Carstensen, director of the Stanford Center on Longevity. There are some downsides to the delay. Give up buying a home and you could miss out on a massive house. Put off saving for retirement and you may face financial insecurity down the line. You body might not be suitable to have babies forever, and it will age.
However, we’re also living longer: 30 extra years, on average, over the last century. So, instead of rushing through all the big stuff, only to face a long period of stagnation at the end of our lives, why not spread out the milestones
Working as a lawyer in Rochester, N.Y., Danielle Ponder would frequently Google, “Did anyone make it after the age of 35 ” A gifted singer, she chose a career in law because she wanted the stability of steady work. She tried to make out some time for shows between court dates instead of committing to music full time.
Five days before her 40th birthday, she quit her job, which led to a bestselling solo album, television appearances and sold-out shows. “I don’t know if I could make this happen to me at 19,” she says.
28. Why does the author mention the study of Stanford University
A. To illustrate a popular belief. B. To recommend a study.
C. To support his argument. D. To give a scientific theory.
29. What does the underlined word “stagnation” refer to in the third paragraph
A. A state without life goals. B. A state without balance.
C. A state without leisure. D. A state without limitation.
30. What can we know about Danielle Ponder
A. She became a lawyer at 35. B. She misses her youthhood.
C. She regrets about her past life. D. She is a successful singer now.
31. What does the text seem to advocate
A. One should set life goals when young. B. One should succeed the earlier the better.
C. One should not set time limits to life goals. D. One should pursue a changeless life.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章针对人们往往对各个人生阶段设定严格的时间目标这一现象进行了探讨，认为虽然推迟各种目标有种种弊端，但是人们不应该给人生阶段目标设定严格的时间限定。
28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Many of us have a secret, internal timeline we’re always measuring ourselves against: the ideal age we’d like to get that degree, get married, reach a certain title at work. Our fantasy timetable hasn’t evolved much over the years. A 2018 Stanford University study found that all generations agreed around 26 is the right age to get married, 27 the time to buy a house and 28 the moment to start a family. (我们中的许多人都有一个秘密的、内心的时间表，我们总是在衡量自己：在理想的年龄我们想要获得学位、结婚、在工作中获得某个头衔。这些年来，我们的梦幻时间表并没有多少变化。斯坦福大学2018年的一项研究发现，所有人都认为26岁左右是结婚的最佳年龄，27岁是买房的最佳年龄，28岁是组建家庭的最佳年龄)”可知，作者先提到许多人会给自己的人生设置时间表的现象，然后介绍斯坦福大学一项相关研究的发现。由此推知，这个研究是对前面所提到的普遍的信念从学术发现方面进行说明。故选A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“However, we’re also living longer: 30 extra years, on average, over the last century. So, instead of rushing through all the big stuff (然而，我们的寿命也更长了：我们平均比上个世纪多活30年。所以，与其匆忙完成所有的大事)”和下文“why not spread out the milestones (为什么不把里程碑分散呢)”可知，此处说明随着寿命延长，匆忙完成大事实际上并不明智，提倡不必急于完成那些人生里程碑。由此推知，stagnation指的是已经完成所有人生阶段目标后，没有目标的一个阶段。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Five days before her 40th birthday, she quit her job, which led to a bestselling solo album, television appearances and sold-out shows. (在她40岁生日的前五天，她辞去了工作，这让她发行了一张畅销的个人专辑，在电视上露面，演出场场爆满)”可知，Danielle Ponder现在是一个成功的歌手。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第四段中“So, instead of rushing through all the big stuff, only to face a long period of stagnation at the end of our lives, why not spread out the milestones (所以，与其匆匆忙忙地完成所有的大事，结果在生命的尽头面对一段漫长的停滞期，为什么不把这些里程碑分散开来呢)”可知，文章针对人们往往对各个人生阶段设定严格的时间目标这一现象进行了探讨，作者认为虽然推迟各种目标有种种弊端，但是正如Danielle Ponder的经历所展示的那样，人们不应该给人生阶段目标设定严格的时间限定。故选C项。
D
There are always unforeseen consequences when new technology is introduced. The truth is that the humans’ depending on machines is even increasing. I’ve spent much of my life analyzing through written and spoken words. Now I’m a technologist making use of natural language processing for human good. Given that I work in Artificial Intelligence, I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are destroying the way we communicate.
AI voices allow you to communicate verbally with your phone, they are normalized and yet cold, no matter which accent you tune your Siri or Amazon Alexa into. It’s difficult to normalize language to be harmless and neutral because we all interpret meaning differently based on living experiences. Yet this is exactly what we’re asking artificial intelligence to do for us on a billion-person scale. Once these rules are regulated by machine, they’re inevitably create much bigger problems.
We noticed that there is an active desire to only neutral language in AI-powered tool. AI-powered recommendations let us autocomplete our thoughts in real-time. These functions are now key features in our emails, word processors and browsers. The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. You can press and hold the Power button for a second to wake up AI voice. But what’s the cost We are trading uniqueness and precision for convenience. We’re also handing the power of acceptable speech to machine-controlled tools, not individuals.
In the physical world, we use words, phrases, tone, rhythm, humor and facial expressions to make us close and affective. We can tell where people were born based on their accents and phrasing. Humans are truly unique, and our communication is dynamic. So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. The impact of AI voice will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel.
32. What is the major problem of AI voice
A. AI voice is not precise enough. B. AI voice is unique and dynamic.
C. AI voice is not accepted by the public. D. AI voice is normalized but not flexible.
33. What does the underlined word “inevitable” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Incomparably. B. Impossibly. C. Unavoidably. D. Dishonestly.
34. What’s the author’s tone in the passage
A. Humorous. B. Concerned. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. AI: Destroy Our Communication B. AI: Applied to Communication
C. AI: Modern Communication Tools D. AI: Deep Combination with Language
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智能语音具有便利性、标准化的特点，但它缺乏灵活性的问题，AI正在破坏我们的交流方式。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第二段中“AI voices allow you to communicate verbally with your phone, they are normalized and yet cold, no matter which accent you tune your Siri or Amazon Alexa into. (人工智能语音可以让你和手机进行口头交流，它们是标准化的，但很冷，不管你把Siri或亚马逊Alexa调成哪种口音)”和第三段中“The machines are pushing us into a common tongue, and we accept it as a matter of convenience. (机器正在把我们推向一个共同的语言，我们为了方便而接受它)”可推知，智能语音是标准化且不够灵活的。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中划线词前面“Once these rules are regulated by machine (一旦这些规则被机器控制)”和划线词后面“create much bigger problems (产生更大的问题)”结合常识可知，一旦这些规则被机器控制，产生更大的问题是必然发生的，不可避免地。由此可知，划线词与unavoidably(不可避免地)意思一致。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据整篇文章作者提出能语音在的问题，尤其是文章最后一段中“So we should demand AI systems that promote individuality and uniqueness. The impact of AI voice will depend not just on what they can do, but also on how they make people feel. (因此，我们应该要求人工智能系统促进个性和独特性。人工智能语音的影响不仅取决于它们能做什么，还取决于它们给人的感觉)”可推知，作者的语气是“担忧的，忧虑的”。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段中“Given that I work in Artificial Intelligence, I’m realizing something dangerous happening. Machines are destroying the way we communicate. (鉴于我在人工智能领域工作，我意识到一些危险的事情正在发生。机器正在破坏我们的交流方式)”可知，根据文章主要介绍了AI的弊端，AI正在破坏我们的交流方式。由此可知，AI: Destroy Our Communication适合作本文最佳标题。故选A。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It is common for people to believe that by reading something over and over again they will learn it. However, repetition alone does not ensure learning. ____36____ According to some reports, this is the most popular way students attempt to learn. However, mere exposure does not necessarily lead to better memory. What matters most is the approach taken when trying to learn the material. Here are some tips for effective learning.
Develop focused attention. ____37____ Focused attention requires you to keep in mind what is important to your current goal. Attention is a skill; it can be learned. Research indicates various forms of mindfulness, meditation, and other strategies can lead to improved attention.
____38____ All learning and memory formation is heavily dependent on brain health. Various types of exercise are beneficial for brain health. The foundations of brain health include exercise, nutrition, and cultivating positive social interactions. ____39____ Nutrition recommendations include eating a balanced diet. Social interactions are good for brain health, but only when they are positive interactions.
Space your learning sessions. Memory is best when you spread your studying or training across multiple sessions. One of the key reasons that spaced learning increases memory is that each time you study, you may perceive the material from a different perspective. ____40____
A. Focus on brain health.
B. Practice challenging activities.
C. This may come as a surprise to many.
D. The exercise can vary from low to high intensity.

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些提高学习效率的方法。
【36题详解】
根据上文“However, repetition alone does not ensure learning.(然而，单靠重复并不能保证学习)”可知，上文提到了单靠重复并不能保证学习，可知本句承接上文说明人们对此的反应。故C选项“这可能会让很多人感到惊讶”符合语境，故选C。
【37题详解】
根据后文“Focused attention requires you to keep in mind what is important to your current goal. Attention is a skill; it can be learned. Research indicates various forms of mindfulness, meditation, and other strategies can lead to improved attention.(集中注意力需要你记住对你目前的目标来说什么是重要的。注意力是一种技能；这是可以学习的。研究表明，各种形式的正念、冥想和其他策略都可以提高注意力)”可知，本段的主旨是集中注意力。故G选项“无论你学什么，集中注意力都是一个关键要求”符合语境，故选G。
【38题详解】
根据后文“All learning and memory formation is heavily dependent on brain health. Various types of exercise are beneficial for brain health. The foundations of brain health include exercise, nutrition, and cultivating positive social interactions.(所有学习和记忆的形成都严重依赖于大脑的健康。各种各样的运动都对大脑健康有益。大脑健康的基础包括锻炼、营养和培养积极的社会交往)”可知，本段的主旨是关注大脑健康，A选项brain health对应后文brain health。故A选项“关注大脑健康”符合语境，故选A。
【39题详解】
根据上文“The foundations of brain health include exercise, nutrition, and cultivating positive social interactions.(大脑健康的基础包括锻炼、营养和培养积极的社会交往)”以及后文“Nutrition recommendations include eating a balanced diet. Social interactions are good for brain health, but only when they are positive interactions.(营养建议包括均衡饮食。社会互动对大脑健康有益，但只有当它们是积极的互动时)”可知，本句是在说明运动的注意事项，后文则提到了另外两项。故D选项“运动强度可以从低到高”符合语境，故选D。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Space your learning sessions. Memory is best when you spread your studying or training across multiple sessions. One of the key reasons that spaced learning increases memory is that each time you study, you may perceive the material from a different perspective.(间隔你的学习时间。当你把学习或训练分散到多个阶段时，记忆力最好。间隔学习法提高记忆力的一个关键原因是，每次你学习时，你都可以从不同的角度来理解材料)”可知，本段的建议是间隔学习法，本句为本段最后一句，说明其原理：学习是一个随着时间的推移而增强的过程。故F选项“学习是一个随着时间的推移而增强的过程”符合语境，故选F。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had a younger sister, Michelle. But as a big brother, I rarely cared for her.
On a Sunday in March when I was 8, Easter (复活节) came. As usual, my sister and I would search for the hidden baskets full of candy and other things prepared for us. On that Easter morning, I got up early.
“Michelle!” I whispered to my sister, who was still sleeping in her bedroom. “Wake up. It’s Easter. We have to go and find our baskets.” She rolled over in bed and finally got up. “Mom and Dad are still sleeping,” I warned her as we walked out into the kitchen. “If we’re quiet, we can find our baskets without waking them up.”
It didn’t take long for me to find my basket, which had candy, toys, etc. This basket was obviously mine because it contained the latest issue of my favorite magazine. My sister continued searching in every room while I dropped my basket off at the kitchen table and started separating candy into different categories. 20 minutes later, my sister told me, “I can’t find it. I looked all over. Can you help me ” I decided to help her not because I felt sorry for her, but because I thought it was fun to find the missing basket.
We started searching through the cabinets (贮藏柜). Later, our parents were awake. Dad headed straight for the bathroom, while Mom walked out to make coffee. “Mom, I’ve found my basket,” I told her. She smiled and asked, “Where’s yours, Michelle ”
That’s when my six-year-old sister started to cry. “Let’s keep looking,” Mom said, taking hold of my sister’s hand. After searching the living room they went to the closet (贮藏室). There Michelle finally found her basket. But when she picked up her basket, we found everything in it had all been bitten and damaged by mice.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】One possible version:
Michelle dropped her basket on the floor, looking upset. Without saying anything, my sister rushed to her bedroom and slammed the door. I was lost in thought. On the one hand, I wanted to enjoy my candy and toys alone. On the other hand, I could feel my sister’s sorrow when I put myself in her shoes. It was such a dilemma. Leaving my sister floating in an ocean of sadness, would I still enjoy my gifts Having struggled for a while, I decided to cheer her up by sharing what I had with her.
Then I walked slowly into my sister’s room with my basket. She lied on her bed silently, tears rolling down her cheeks. “Cheer up, my dear sister. Forget about the damaged basket. You can have mine.” I said in a cheerful tone. Hearing this, her eyes twinkled with pleasure. The moment I saw her smiling face again, joy welled up inside me. Laughter lingered around the room. That was the first time that I had learned the meaning of sharing. It made me happier when I was able to bring joy to others.
