We have been friends all these years and we are still neighbors. However, at the beginning of this year I found that Lisa didn’t hang out with me as much as before. When I asked her to hang out with me, she said she was busy. One day, I asked her to go to a movie with me, but she said she bad to study for an exam at home. However, later that day, I saw her walking on the street with another girl. I became angry, ran up to her and asked her why she lied to me. That night, Lisa apologized. She said she wanted to make more friends. She didn’t tell me the truth because she was afraid she’d break my heart. After knowing the reason, I told her it was alright. Everyone needs new friends.

My job consists of planning, generating, and operating scientific instruments in-flight. I am grateful for having worked on missions at Saturn, the Moon, and our own planet Earth.When I was a high-schooler, I was unsure of what college I wanted to attend, or what major I wanted to choose. After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering with the encouragement of my mom. After participating in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me. The passionate students and boundless opportunities developed a feeling of belonging in me that led me to apply and eventually get accepted.The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humanity. When people think of the space industry, they picture the outer reaches of our solar system. What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home—Earth. I am thankful to have a career that allows me to commit myself to that responsibility.The high light of my career has been witnessing the end of the Cassini mission to Saturn. And when the Cassini spacecraft had run out of fuel, I quickly learned that it was not just the end of the mission, but the end of a team. The night we watched with bittersweet longing as its signal faded to nothing is something that I will always keep in my memories. And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together.My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these. I always grew up a big fan of fiction. I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you don’t pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all.24. Why did the author apply to MIT A. She set this goal as a high-schooler. B. A summer program made her love MIT.C. The majors in MIT interested her. D. Her mother urged her to go to MIT.25. What does the author think of her occupation A. She is proud to work for human well-being. B. It’s hard for a girl to have such a career.C. She is annoyed by being misunderstood. D. It’s easy to predict what she does.26. What does the author treasure most in the Cassini mission A Breathtaking images of the planet. B. The opportunity to operate the cameras.C. Its historic contributions. D. The team it brought together.27. What can we include from the story A. Practice makes perfect. B. Well begun is half done.C. No way is impossible to courage. D. Time lost cannot be won again.【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主题语境是人与自我。文章主要讲述了作者是一名工程师,工作包括规划、制作和操作飞行中的科学仪器。作者认为自己从事有益于人类的项目,感到感激和满足。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering with the encouragement of my mom. After participating in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me.(在收到一封来自麻省理工学院的电子邮件后,在我妈妈的鼓励下,我决定申请他们提供的暑期项目。在参加了这个项目之后,我知道MIT是适合我的大学)”可知,作者申请麻省理工学院是因为一个暑期项目使她爱上了麻省理工学院。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humanity.(作为一名工程师,最令人兴奋和满足的部分是我能够从事有益于人类的项目)”以及“What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home-Earth. I am thankful to have a career that allows me to commit myself to that responsibility.(他们可能无法想象的是,研究我们自己的家园地球的大量工作正在进行。我很感激有这样一份工作,能让我承担起这样的责任)”可知,作者因为自己为了人类福祉的工作而自豪。故选A。【26题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together.(虽然卡西尼号将因其历史性贡献而被铭记,但我将铭记的是它所凝聚的团队)”可知,在卡西尼号任务中,作者最看重的是它所凝聚的团队。故选 D。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you don’t pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all. (我意识到英雄故事的一个共同主题是,英雄必须总是做出选择,开始他们的冒险。如果你在自己的故事中因为害怕接下来可能发生的事情而不拿起剑,你就有可能根本没有故事)”可知,作者通过这篇文章阐述了要勇往直前,不要害怕冒险,因此推断我们能从这个故事中学到“勇者无惧”的道理。故选 C。CListening to an audiobook (有声书) before bed affects a person’s brain activity after they nod off as well as the content of their dreams.Better understanding this effect could help treat certain mental health conditions by targeting memory processing during sleep. When we sleep, our brain spontaneously (自发地) “replays”, or reactivates patterns of electrical activity that are related to learning to transfer important new information to long-term memory storage. It has been suggested that dreams may reflect this reactivation, but exactly how is unclear.To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep. These included The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie and Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.Among the participants who remembered their dreams, the researchers could identify which audiobook each had heard from their descriptions of the dreams. While the participants slept, the researchers also used an EEG (脑电图) cap that detects electrical activity to record their brain waves. This showed that the wave patterns during the rapid eye movement phase of sleep, when dreams occurred, were more similar between those who had heard the same audiobook than those who had heard different ones, suggesting that the listening experience shaped the brain activity.Further analysis of the patterns revealed that high-frequency beta waves — between 18 and 30hertz — were most strongly associated with the participants recalling the audiobook-related content of their dreams. The findings suggest that daily life experiences can shape dream content via memory reactivation, according to the researchers. But while dreaming may serve a distinct purpose in memory formation, it could also be a by-product of memory processing.“Daytime experiences are rarely replayed as experienced, but are almost always modified or surface in different contexts,” says Kumral. “Individuals with certain psychological conditions or mental problems might benefit from tailored strategies that enhance memory processing or treat disorders of dreaming during sleep, potentially contributing to improved mental and emotional health.”28. What did the researchers ask the participants to do A. Record their dreams every night. B. Listen to audiobooks during the day.C. Listen to audiobooks just before sleep. D. Wear an EEG cap during the day.29. Why did Deniz Kumral and her colleagues do the research A. To know how people process information.B. To find out the contents of people’s dreams.C. To reveal the secret of improving people’s memory.D. To investigate how dreams replay patterns of electrical activity.30. What does the underlined word “modified” in the last paragraph probably mean A. Changed. B. Stored C. Strengthened. D. Forgotten.31. What is the best title of the text A. Listening experiences influencing brain activityB. Listening to audiobooks before bed shaping one’s dreamC. The importance of dreams in memory formationD. Integration of daily experiences into dreams【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了睡前听有声书会影响人在入睡后的大脑活动以及梦的内容。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep.(为了进行调查,德国弗赖堡大学的丹尼斯·库姆拉尔和她的同事们让20个人在睡觉前听不同的有声读物)”可知,研究人员要求参与者在睡前听不同的有声读物。故选C。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段“When we sleep, our brain spontaneously (自发地) “replays”, or reactivates patterns of electrical activity that are related to learning to transfer important new information to long-term memory storage. It has been suggested that dreams may reflect this reactivation, but exactly how is unclear.(当我们睡觉时,我们的大脑会自发地“重放”,或者重新激活与学习有关的脑电活动模式,将重要的新信息转移到长期记忆存储中。有人认为,梦可能反映了这种重新激活,但具体是如何反应的还不清楚)”以及第三段“To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep.(为了进行调查,德国弗赖堡大学的丹尼斯·库姆拉尔和她的同事们让20个人在睡觉前听不同的有声读物)”可推知,该研究是为了调查梦是如何重现脑电波活动模式的。故选D。【30题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子的前半句话“Daytime experiences are rarely replayed as experienced(白天的经历很少作为经历被重播)”以及“or surface in different contexts(不同的环境中出现)”可知,白天的经历很少在梦境中被回放,但是总是在不同的环境中被修改或者出现。所以划线单词的意思为“修改,改变”,与changed意思接近。故选A。【31题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Listening to an audiobook (有声书) before bed affects a person’s brain activity after they nod off as well as the content of their dreams.(睡前听有声书会影响人在打盹后的大脑活动以及梦的内容)”以及全文可知,本文讲述了睡前听有声书会影响人在入睡后的大脑活动以及梦的内容。由此可知,Listening to audiobooks before bed shaping one’s dream(睡前听有声读物塑造一个人的梦)适合作本文的标题。故选B。DSome people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted (植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.32. What’s the function of the first paragraph A. A summary of the article. B. An introduction to the main topic.C. An overview of the whole article. D. An argument over the main topic.33. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3 A. The process of human-computer interaction.B. The possible treatment for particular diseases.C. The future of microchips and devices alike.D. The existing application of microchip implants.34. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality A. They may reject it. B. They may expect it.C. They may adjust to it. D. They may feel curious about it.35. Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants A. Imaginary. B. Practical. C. Unfulfilled. D. Impossible.【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. C【解析】【导语】这是一篇议论文。在我们的世界里,几乎很难避开科技。我们的手表、汽车、电灯开关,甚至我们的宠物里都有计算机微芯片。文章主要探讨了将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。【32题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets!(我们的手表,汽车,电灯开关,甚至我们的宠物里都有电脑芯片!)”提到电脑芯片在人们日常生活中已经是普遍存在,从这些事实引发思考:“Where will it end (它将在哪里结束?)”从而引出本文的话题:将微芯片植入人类大脑的可能性。故选B。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains. (由于能够通过计算机远程发送和接收信息,微芯片和其他相关设备早已被植入大脑)”和第三段“For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.(例如,电极已经植入癫痫患者的大脑,以便更好地记录甚至预测异常的神经活动。类似地,通过植入设备引起大脑关键区域活动的深部脑刺激,是治疗帕金森氏症等疾病的既定方法,甚至正在研究治疗抑郁症等疾病)”可推知,作者想通过例子说明微芯片植入的现有应用。故选D。【34题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.(事实上,让陌生人在你的大脑里植入芯片的可能性很可能被证明是没有吸引力的,尤其是对于一个数百万人对疫苗中虚构的微芯片感到愤怒的人群,对于害怕牙医的人群来说更多)”可知,在现实中,大多数美国人可能会拒绝对在大脑中植入芯片。故选A。35题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.(最终,计算机与大脑接口植入技术离我们还很遥远)”可推知,计算机与大脑接口植入技术还未实现。故选C。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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Road systems are necessary for public transport. Street network is indeed convenient for humans. But roads and highways have done more harm than good to animals. Every week, millions of wild animals die from vehicle collisions (碰撞). Despite the numerous road signs, the increasing number of animal roadkills keeps on increasing each year. Ever since road systems were constructed, animals have been exposed to danger from moving from one place to another. ___36___Wildlife crossings are in the form of bridges, overpasses and underpass tunnels. ___37___ With these safe routes, wild animals won’t have to access the busy roads and highways anymore. They can safely cross over or under these structures to move on to their path.The first wildlife crossing ever made was in the form of bridges for animals. In the 1950’s,France constructed several animal bridges to protect both animals and humans from vehicle collisions. ___38___ Apart from France, the Netherlands also features 600 overpasses and ecoducts (生态通道) for deer, boars, and badgers. As a matter of fact, the Netherlands takes pride in having the longest wildlife overpass in the world. The Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo stretches 800 meters in length, overpassing the massive N525 roadway and nearby rail lines.___39___ There could be a few unintended consequences of the wildlife crossings based on their design. The bridges can increase the spread of invasive(入侵的) species, for example. Predation (捕食) rates could increase as the predators can easily hunt down the prey (捕获物) through the bridges.However, the importance of ecological crossings cannot be denied. Regardless of the negative impacts, they play a vital role in the preservation and restoration of habitat and species. ___40___A. Diseases may also use the crossings to spread.B. The wildlife bridges can have negative results as well.C. Europe surely leads the way in terms of wildlife bridges.D. These crossings are used by an increasing number of mammals.E. These structures provide safe passageways for passing animals.F. More ecoducts should be built to provide a safe space for the species.G. For this reason, wildlife bridges are built to allow wild animals to cross man-made roads safely.【答案】36. G 37. E 38. C 39. B 40. F【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为保护动物而建立起的许多生态通道,如动物桥梁等,以及它们的优缺点。【36题详解】本句位于段尾,是本段的结论句,同时承上启下。上文“Ever since road systems were constructed, animals have been exposed to danger from moving from one place to another. (自从道路系统建成以来,动物们就会因为从一个地方移动到另一个地方而面临危险。)”指出,为了保护动物安全,建造野生动物桥很有必要。下文“Wildlife crossings are in the form of bridges overpasses and underpass tunnels.(野生动物道口的形式是桥梁、立交桥和地下通道、隧道) ”。选项G“For this reason, wildlife bridges are built to allow wild animals to cross man-made roads safely.(因此,建造野生动物桥是为了让野生动物能够安全地穿越人造道路。)”承接上文,引出下文,符合语境。故选G项。【37题详解】上文“Wildlife crossings are in the form of bridges overpasses and underpass tunnels.(野生动物过境点采用桥梁、立交桥和地下通道隧道的形式。)”指出桥梁、立交桥和地下通道隧道被使用。选项E“These structures provide safe passageways for passing animals.(这些结构为过往动物提供了安全通道。)”指出结构为过往动物提供了安全通道,这是对上文这些形式的评价,符合语境。故选 E 项。【38题详解】上文“In the 1950’s, France constructed several animal bridges to protect both animals and humans from vehicle collisions. (20世纪50年代,法国建造了几座动物桥,以保护动物和人类免受车辆碰撞。)”指出法国很久之前就建造了动物桥,保护动物。下文“Apart from France, the Netherlands also features 600 overpasses and ecoducts (生态通道) for deer, boars, and badgers.(除了法国,荷兰还有600座立交桥和生态通道用于鹿、野猪和獾。)”指出其他欧洲国家也在努力做这件事。选项C“Europe surely leads the way in terms of wildlife bridges. (欧洲在野生动物桥梁方面无疑处于领先地位。)”与上下文逻辑一致,也是在介绍欧洲在这一方面的出色表现,符合语境。故选C项。【39题详解】下文“There could be a few unintended consequences of the wildlife crossings based on their design. The bridges can increase the spread of invasive species, for example. (根据野生动物过境点的设计,可能会产生一些意想不到的后果。例如,这些桥梁可以增加入侵物种的传播。)”指出这些过境点的设计也有坏处,如增加入侵物种的传播。选项B“The wildlife bridges can have negative results as well.(野生动物桥梁也可能产生负面影响。)”指出动物桥梁可能产生负面影响,这能引出下文,符合语境。故选B项。40题详解】上文“Regardless of the negative impacts, they play a vital role in the preservation and restoration of habitat and species.(不管负面影响如何,它们在保护和恢复栖息地和物种方面发挥着至关重要的作用。)”指出这些动物桥梁,过境点发挥着重要作用。选项F“More ecoducts should be built to provide a safe space for the species.(应该建造更多的生态通道,为物种提供一个安全的空间。)”指出要更多建造这种生态通道,所以这是上文“这些动物桥梁,过境点发挥着重要作用”导致的结果,符合语境。故选 F项。第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Chris Smith looked like any other young boy in his class except for the constant evictions (驱赶), and eventually being homeless.Chris’ father was reckless (鲁莽的) with finances and ___41___ in business.

My teacher, Mr. Doocy, called my mother and explained that I hadn’t spoken a single word in class. And we were more than half way through the school year. Even as a little girl, I knew this was unusual. I watched the free and happy interaction of my classmates with envy.Mom tried to excuse my behavior as something that I would outgrow. But Mr. Doocy was still quite concerned about me. He asked Mom if I had something at home that I liked. He said he would arrange a show-and-tell activity for the class if I brought it to school. My mom told him about my cat who had given birth to several baby cats about three weeks earlier. I was crazy about those baby cats.Then Mr. Doocy suggested I bring the baby cats to school the next day and introduce them to my classmates. It seemed that Mom didn’t think this show-and-tell activity would help me and hoped to discourage Mr. Doocy. She explained that I would have to bring the mother cat along with the six baby cats because they were too young to be separated from their mother. She probably thought this would put an end to the plan. But Mr. Doocy said that was fine.I normally walked to school, but my mother drove me the next morning along with a big brown cardboard box. I struggled to walk toward the classroom with the heavy load. In no time, the group of baby cats caught the attention of my classmates. Their eyes lit up in wonder when they caught sight of my tiny treasures. My heart beat quickly against my chest as pride swelled within me. I had never felt so important in my entire nine years of life!Mr. Doocy instructed me to sit on the steps outside the classroom so everyone could get a good look inside the container. “Can I hold one ” a little girl asked aloud with excitement. Then all the other children chimed in like a choir, begging to hold one of the baby cats.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。I nodded and said, “Yes.”___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With everyone sitting in the classroom, Mr. Doocy invited me to say something about my cats.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】One possible version:I nodded and said, “Yes.” Then I, with great caution, handed the baby cats one by one to my expectant and excited classmates. They gently held kittens in turn cautiously, as if they were holding the most delicate find art in the world, petting them gently and observing them. Soon, the school bell rang. But all of us turned a deaf ear to it and no one moved or wanted to enter the classroom, even Mr. Doocy! He allowed us to sit there until each student had a turn holding the cats. Then, he walked me to the front of the classroom and waited for the students to come in and sit down. Still excited, my classmates like chirping birds were exchanging ideas about the lovely kittens until Mr. Doocy hushed them.With everyone sitting in the classroom, Mr. Doocy invited me to say something about my cats. Standing in front of the class, I really had butterflies in my stomach, palms sweaty, no knowing where to start. Mr. Doocy began to ask some questions and I began to tell how the mother cat loved and looked after her babies, what kind of “home” I designed for them, etc. My classmates were all staring at me and listening attentively, dancing in their eyes were the admiration that I had never expected. A surge of pride and confidence rose inside me, I raised my voice. After that class, I proudly sat among my classmates with a new sense of achievement. And my interaction with other kids increased. How much I appreciated the help of Mr. Doocy and my lovely cats! But for them, I would probably still be that inordinately shy girl I used to be.【解析】【导语】本文以事件为线索展开,讲述了作者在小学的时候非常害羞,不容易交朋友。学年已经过去一半多了,但是作者在课堂上没有说过话,于是Doocy老师打电话给作者的妈妈,想要解决这个问题。他建议作者把自己非常喜欢的小猫带到学校,把它们介绍给同学,虽然作者的妈妈并不看好这个计划,但是Doocy老师觉得可行。第二天作者用大纸板箱把小猫们带到了学校,立刻引起了同学们的注意,作者因为被重视而激动不已,这时一个小女孩提出想要抱小猫,其他孩子也附和起来。【详解】1. 段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“我点点头说,‘可以。’”可知,第一段可描写孩子们轮流抱小猫,以及抱完小猫后热烈地讨论。②由第二段首句内容“每个人都坐在教室里,Doocy老师邀请我说一些关于我的猫的事情。”可知,第二段可描写作者克服紧张讲述猫的事情,以及逐渐开始和同学们交流。2. 续写线索:点头同意——轮流抱猫——热烈讨论——邀请作者谈谈猫的事情——讲述猫的事情——增加交流3. 词汇激活行为类①进入:enter/walk into②交流:exchange/swap③开始:start/begin/commence④照顾:look after/take care of⑤盯着看:stare at/look at/direct one’s gaze towards⑥预料:expect/anticipate情绪类①兴奋的:excited/thrilled②钦佩:admiration/appreciation【点睛】[高分句型1] They gently held kittens in turn cautiously, as if they were holding the most delicate find art in the world, petting them gently and observing them.

My job consists of planning, generating, and operating scientific instruments in-flight. I am grateful for having worked on missions at Saturn, the Moon, and our own planet Earth.When I was a high-schooler, I was unsure of what college I wanted to attend, or what major I wanted to choose. After receiving an email from a college called Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), I decided to apply to a summer program they were offering with the encouragement of my mom. After participating in that program, I knew that MIT was the right university for me. The passionate students and boundless opportunities developed a feeling of belonging in me that led me to apply and eventually get accepted.The most exciting and fulfilling part of being an engineer is that I am able to work on projects that benefit humanity. When people think of the space industry, they picture the outer reaches of our solar system. What they may not imagine is the great body of work being done to study our own home—Earth. I am thankful to have a career that allows me to commit myself to that responsibility.The high light of my career has been witnessing the end of the Cassini mission to Saturn. And when the Cassini spacecraft had run out of fuel, I quickly learned that it was not just the end of the mission, but the end of a team. The night we watched with bittersweet longing as its signal faded to nothing is something that I will always keep in my memories. And while Cassini will be remembered for its historic contributions, what I will remember it for is the team it brought together.My friends often ask why a girl could achieve all these. I always grew up a big fan of fiction. I realized that a common theme of hero stories is that the hero must always make a choice to start their adventure. If you don’t pick up the sword in your own story because you are afraid of what may happen next, you risk not having a story at all.24. Why did the author apply to MIT A.

Time lost cannot be won again.CListening to an audiobook (有声书) before bed affects a person’s brain activity after they nod off as well as the content of their dreams.Better understanding this effect could help treat certain mental health conditions by targeting memory processing during sleep. When we sleep, our brain spontaneously (自发地) “replays”, or reactivates patterns of electrical activity that are related to learning to transfer important new information to long-term memory storage. It has been suggested that dreams may reflect this reactivation, but exactly how is unclear.To investigate, Deniz Kumral at the University of Freiburg, Germany, and her colleagues asked 20 people to listen to different audiobooks just before they went to sleep. These included The Mystery of the Blue Train by Agatha Christie and Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.Among the participants who remembered their dreams, the researchers could identify which audiobook each had heard from their descriptions of the dreams. While the participants slept, the researchers also used an EEG (脑电图) cap that detects electrical activity to record their brain waves. This showed that the wave patterns during the rapid eye movement phase of sleep, when dreams occurred, were more similar between those who had heard the same audiobook than those who had heard different ones, suggesting that the listening experience shaped the brain activity.Further analysis of the patterns revealed that high-frequency beta waves — between 18 and 30hertz — were most strongly associated with the participants recalling the audiobook-related content of their dreams. The findings suggest that daily life experiences can shape dream content via memory reactivation, according to the researchers. But while dreaming may serve a distinct purpose in memory formation, it could also be a by-product of memory processing.“Daytime experiences are rarely replayed as experienced, but are almost always modified or surface in different contexts,” says Kumral. “Individuals with certain psychological conditions or mental problems might benefit from tailored strategies that enhance memory processing or treat disorders of dreaming during sleep, potentially contributing to improved mental and emotional health.”28 What did the researchers ask the participants to do A. Record their dreams every night. B. Listen to audiobooks during the day.C. Listen to audiobooks just before sleep. D. Wear an EEG cap during the day.29. Why did Deniz Kumral and her colleagues do the research A. To know how people process information.B. To find out the contents of people’s dreams.C. To reveal the secret of improving people’s memory.D. To investigate how dreams replay patterns of electrical activity.30. What does the underlined word “modified” in the last paragraph probably mean A. Changed. B. Stored C. Strengthened. D. Forgotten.31. What is the best title of the text A Listening experiences influencing brain activityB. Listening to audiobooks before bed shaping one’s dreamC. The importance of dreams in memory formationD. Integration of daily experiences into dreamsDSome people worry that there’s too much technology in our lives. And they may have a point, given how countless people now carry the internet around in their pocket and use it as a primary form of communication. It’s practically difficult to shun technology in our world. There are computer microchips (微芯片) in our watches, our cars, light switches, even our pets! Where will it end Well, if certain people have their way, it’ll go even further. We’ll have microchips implanted (植入) into our brains that can interact with the computers by thought alone. It may sound like something from the science fiction, but in many ways, things look quite promising. Thanks to the ability to send and receive information remotely via computers, microchips and other related devices have long been put into brains.For example, electrodes have been implanted in the brains of epilepsy patients to better record and even predict the abnormal neurological activity. Similarly, deep-brain stimulation, through implanted devices that cause activity in key brain regions, is an established treatment for things like Parkinson’s disease, and is even being looked into for illnesses like depression.However, it’s another thing to place such devices in healthy individuals. There are the practical concerns, not least of which is what these chips will be made of. The inside of the brain is a mass of highly reactive chemicals and electrical activity. Implants would need to be inert (静止的) enough to not upset the delicate processes by their presence, but also sensitive enough to read and process the activity around them. Current technology has made impressive progress with this, but if it were to be rolled out to millions of people, we’d need to be 100 per cent certain that it’s safe.How many people will actually want to have technology literally put into their brain A surprising 60 per cent of Americans say they’d be okay with it, but that’s when it’s purely theoretical. In reality, the possibility of having strangers stick chips in your brain is likely to prove unattractive, especially for a population where millions get mad at fictional microchips in vaccines (疫苗), and even more are frightened of dentists.Ultimately, the technology of computer-brain interface (接口) implants is still far away from us.32. What’s the function of the first paragraph A. A summary of the article. B. An introduction to the main topic.C. An overview of the whole article. D. An argument over the main topic.33. What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 3 A. The process of human-computer interaction.B. The possible treatment for particular diseases.C. The future of microchips and devices alike.D. The existing application of microchip implants.34. How may most Americans react to implanting chips in the brain in reality A. They may reject it. B. They may expect it.C. They may adjust to it. D. They may feel curious about it.35. Which word can best describe the technology of computer-brain interface implants A. Imaginary. B. Practical. C. Unfulfilled. D. Impossible.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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。Road systems are necessary for public transport. Street network is indeed convenient for humans. But roads and highways have done more harm than good to animals. Every week, millions of wild animals die from vehicle collisions (碰撞). Despite the numerous road signs, the increasing number of animal roadkills keeps on increasing each year. Ever since road systems were constructed, animals have been exposed to danger from moving from one place to another. ___36___Wildlife crossings are in the form of bridges, overpasses and underpass tunnels. ___37___ With these safe routes, wild animals won’t have to access the busy roads and highways anymore. They can safely cross over or under these structures to move on to their path.The first wildlife crossing ever made was in the form of bridges for animals. In the 1950’s,France constructed several animal bridges to protect both animals and humans from vehicle collisions. ___38___ Apart from France, the Netherlands also features 600 overpasses and ecoducts (生态通道) for deer, boars, and badgers. As a matter of fact, the Netherlands takes pride in having the longest wildlife overpass in the world. The Natuurbrug Zanderij Crailoo stretches 800 meters in length, overpassing the massive N525 roadway and nearby rail lines.___39___ There could be a few unintended consequences of the wildlife crossings based on their design. The bridges can increase the spread of invasive(入侵的) species, for example. Predation (捕食) rates could increase as the predators can easily hunt down the prey (捕获物) through the bridges.However, the importance of ecological crossings cannot be denied. Regardless of the negative impacts, they play a vital role in the preservation and restoration of habitat and species. ___40___A. Diseases may also use the crossings to spread.B. The wildlife bridges can have negative results as well.C. Europe surely leads the way in terms of wildlife bridges.D. These crossings are used by an increasing number of mammals.E. These structures provide safe passageways for passing animals.F. More ecoducts should be built to provide a safe space for the species.G. For this reason, wildlife bridges are built to allow wild animals to cross man-made roads safely.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Chris Smith looked like any other young boy in his class except for the constant evictions (驱赶), and eventually being homeless.Chris’ father was reckless (鲁莽的) with finances and ___41___ in business.

My teacher, Mr. Doocy, called my mother and explained that I hadn’t spoken a single word in class. And we were more than half way through the school year. Even as a little girl, I knew this was unusual. I watched the free and happy interaction of my classmates with envy.Mom tried to excuse my behavior as something that I would outgrow. But Mr. Doocy was still quite concerned about me. He asked Mom if I had something at home that I liked. He said he would arrange a show-and-tell activity for the class if I brought it to school. My mom told him about my cat who had given birth to several baby cats about three weeks earlier. I was crazy about those baby cats.Then Mr. Doocy suggested I bring the baby cats to school the next day and introduce them to my classmates. It seemed that Mom didn’t think this show-and-tell activity would help me and hoped to discourage Mr. Doocy. She explained that I would have to bring the mother cat along with the six baby cats because they were too young to be separated from their mother. She probably thought this would put an end to the plan. But Mr. Doocy said that was fine.I normally walked to school, but my mother drove me the next morning along with a big brown cardboard box. I struggled to walk toward the classroom with the heavy load. In no time, the group of baby cats caught the attention of my classmates. Their eyes lit up in wonder when they caught sight of my tiny treasures. My heart beat quickly against my chest as pride swelled within me. I had never felt so important in my entire nine years of life!Mr. Doocy instructed me to sit on the steps outside the classroom so everyone could get a good look inside the container. “Can I hold one ” a little girl asked aloud with excitement. Then all the other children chimed in like a choir, begging to hold one of the baby cats.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。I nodded and said, “Yes.”___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With everyone sitting in the classroom, Mr. Doocy invited me to say something about my cats.___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 精品解析:2024届湖南省邵阳市高三上学期第一次联考(一模)英语试题(原卷版).docx 精品解析:2024届湖南省邵阳市高三上学期第一次联考(一模)英语试题(解析版).docx 1.mp3 10.mp3 2.mp3 3.mp3 4.mp3 5.mp3 6.mp3 7.mp3 8.mp3 9.mp3
