第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Approximately 2.54 million students live on-campus, and with good reason. Below we explain some of the most common types of on-campus student housing, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.
Pros Cons
It’s easy to meet people and make friends. Living on campus is expensive. The average cost of room and board for 2022-2023 ranges from $10,138 for public institutions to $11,516 for private colleges and universities.
Classrooms and meeting facilities are within walking distance of your room. You don’t always have a lot of privacy, especially if you share a room with several people.
Financial aid may cover the cost of room and board. It’s difficult to focus on school because there is always something going on.
Staff members plan games and activities for resident students. Residence halls can get noisy at night and on the weekends.
Housekeepers maintain common areas. If you have dietary restrictions, it may be difficult to find something to eat in the campus cafeteria.
Residents have access to study groups and other educational resources. You may have to share a bathroom.
Many on-campus residences have security personnel. Some dorm rooms are small, limiting the amount of storage space.
Dormitories
Dorms are by far the most common option for students living on campus. Students in dorms often have to share their room with two, three, or four other people. Although some dorms have private bathrooms in each room, many have one shared bathroom per floor.
Student Housing Cooperatives
Student housing cooperatives, often called co-ops, are owned and maintained by students. Living in a co-op is less expensive than living in an apartment or single-family house, as all residents share expenses.
Family-style Living
Some colleges offer family-style living to married couples and single parents. Family-style housing usually consists of on-campus apartments or townhouses, providing residents privacy and easy access to classroom buildings.
What can students enjoy by living on campus
A. Financial aid from school. B. Dorm-cleaning service.
C. Relatively higher security. D. Abundant storage space.
What’s special about family-style living
A. Easy access to classrooms. B. Convenience for single parents.
C. Total ownership by students. D. One shared bathroom per floor.
Where can the passage be found
A. In a freshman housing guide. B. In a travel journal.
C. In a renting advertisement. D. In a dorm regulation.
B
You may think of me as delicious and nutritious, the sight of me packed into cans of school lunches. But here’s what adults hide from the kids: There’s very little that’s gentle about me. One of the ocean’s fastest fish, I can grow to be 1,500 pounds, and I fetch millions at Japanese fish markets. Forget the “chicken of the sea”. I am the Schwarzenegger of the sea, the strongest and most powerful.
I’m honored in cave paintings dating back to 3000 BC. Coins from 2000 BC feature me on one side. Five years ago, modern Navy scientists confirmed just how perfectly evolved I am for efficient speed: They modeled their new underwater spy drone（无人机）, The GhostSwimmer, on me.
How is it that the price of my raw meat ranges from a dollar to a hundred In fact, the fish you generally call tuna is actually seven species of fish, Bluefin, as the largest, is at the top of the food chain. Along with Bigeye and Yellowfin, it is one of the three most favored tunas by customers. Skipjack, commercially my most important variety, is easier to catch, thus accounting for $18 billion of the $42 billion worth of me that gets sold each year. I can be delicious canned, provided you don’t be mean with the mayo（蛋黄酱）or, for a more hearthealthy tuna salad, the olive oil. Considering mercury（汞）levels in canned “light” Skipjack, it’s also recommended that women of childbearing age dine on me in that form no more than once a week.
If you want to do right by the ocean, however, choose troll-caught or pole-and-line-caught tuna. These “one fish, one hook” methods hunt me without nearly as much unwanted fish. Longlines or huge nets, often wipe out entire schools. Don’t forget that getting rid of a top-level fish like me has severe consequences all the way down the food chain.
What does the underlined word “fetch” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Be eaten up. B. Go and get. C. Be sold for. D. Run out of.
What is Paragraph 2 mainly about
A. Tuna’s important role in humans’ life.
B. Tuna’s applications in modern science.
C. How tuna evolve over the course of time.
D. Why tuna are the ocean’s fastest fish.
What can we learn from the passage
A. Skipjack takes up about 42% of the tuna market per year.
B. The bigger a tuna fish is, the higher its quality and price.
C. Women should have canned tuna less than once a week.
D. The big price gap results from different ways to hunt tuna.
According to the last paragraph, what do “I” want to say to humans
A. Give me more mayo, I will be healthier.
B. Ouch! The hook hurts me, please.
C. Don’t tell kids I’m not what they think of me.
D. Never wipe me out, or you are inviting trouble.
C
When you are stuck on a problem, sometimes it is best to stop thinking about it — consciously, anyway. Research has shown that taking a break or a nap can help the brain create pathways to a solution. Now a new study expands on the effect by using sound cues（提示） to focus the sleeping mind on a targeted problem.
When humans sleep, parts of the brain replay certain memories, strengthening and transforming them. About a decade ago researchers developed a technique, called targeted memory reactivation (TMR), aimed at further reinforcing selected memories: when a sound becomes associated with a memory and is later played during sleep, that memory gets reactivated. In a study published last November in Psychological Science, scientists tested whether revisiting the memory of a puzzle during sleep might also improve problem-solving.
About 60 participants visited the laboratory before and after a night of sleep. In an evening session, they attempted spatial, verbal and conceptual puzzles, with a distinct music clip repeating in the background for each, until they worked on six puzzles they could not solve. Overnight they wore electrodes to detect slow-wave sleep and a device played the sounds assigned to three of the six unsolved puzzles. The next day, back at the lab, the participants attempted the six puzzles again. All told, the subjects solved 32 percent of the sound-prompted puzzles versus 21 percent of the untargeted puzzles — a boost of more than 50 percent.
The researchers “very bravely went for quite complex tasks that involved a lot of complex processing, and remarkably they found these really strong effects in all of their tasks,” says Penny Lewis, a psychologist at Cardiff University. “These are supercool results. Now we need to go out and try to understand them by firstly repeating the tasks and secondly trying to work out the component processes that are actually being influenced.”
Beyond providing new evidence that humans restructure memories while sleeping, the research may have practical implications. “In a futuristic world, maybe TMR could help us use sleep to work on our problems,” says lead author Kristin Sanders, who was a graduate student at Northwestern University during the study. Sleep-monitoring technology is increasingly accessible — and even without gadgets（小装置）, prospective solvers can focus on important problems before bed.
Still, sleep is not magic; people need to do their homework and load their heads with the puzzle pieces involved. “I’m not going to solve cancer with this technique,” Sanders says, “because I don’t know anything about cancer research.”
28. What is the function of sound cues in the new study
A. To help the brain create pathways to a solution.
B. To direct the sleeping mind towards specific problems.
C. To monitor slow-wave sleep and detect reactivated memory.
D. To provide background music for participants attempting puzzles.
29. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The complex tasks. B. The strong effects.
C. The component processes. D. The expected results.
What can we know about the new study
A. Participants attempted the puzzles with targeted music clips on.
B. Participants worked on six puzzles they couldn’t solve overnight.
C. The electrodes detected sleep and played the sounds assigned to the puzzles.
D. Subjects solved two more sound-prompted puzzles than untargeted puzzles.
31. What message does Sanders want to convey
A. Necessity is the mother of invention.
B. Where there is a dream, there is a way.
C. We can’t make a cake without ingredients.
D. One will dream about what he thinks of.
D
Peer-to-Peer lending has become the poster child of the alternative finance industry. By the end of March 2016, the sector had attracted over 5 billion in investments. If the P2P phenomenon has escaped your attention, now it might be just the right time to take note.
P2P lending is the now well-established practice of lending money to individuals or businesses through online services that match lenders, ie investors, directly with borrowers, enabling both parties to bypass conventional providers such as banks.
Lenders typically achieve better rates of return than would be available from traditional providers. Likewise, borrowers have gain access to flexible and competitively priced loans since the banking crisis of 2008. And that’s why P2P is confidently anticipated to become an ever-increasing force within the financial marketplace, even when interest rates begin to climb, given its significantly lower cost relative to traditional lending providers.
From 6th April 2016, through the introduction of the Personal Savings Allowance (PSA), savings accounts started paying interest tax-free and, as a result, an astonishing 95% of all UK adults no longer pay tax on any of their savings — it’s the biggest shake-up in the savings market for at least a generation.
Comparing P2P lending with deposit-based investment is relatively easy, but less so when comparing it to investing in the stock market（股市）.Shares offer the potential for two types of return: an increase in the capital value of the shares themselves, plus a regular — and ideally increasing — income by way of the dividends（股息）paid by that company. What’s interesting to note, however, is that under the new PSA rules, dividend income from shares will not fall within your annual tax-free allowance and so they won’t enjoy the benefit of the favorable tax treatment afforded to investments such as P2P loans.
In the following articles, we’ll be discussing some of the other interesting aspects of this revolutionary way of investing. But, if you’re still suffering from all-time low interest rates in your savings account, it really could be time to consider doing something interesting with your money.
How is P2P lending distinct from traditional lending
A. Money can only be lent to individuals online.
B. Lenders and borrowers are connected directly.
C. It provides flexible and higher priced loans.
D. It has attracted more money in investments.
Why does the author mention PSA in the passage
A. To highlight the advantage of P2P lending.
B. To explain the shake-up in the savings market.
C. To illustrate the effects of PSA on investment.
D. To compare P2P lending with other investments.
What’s the best title of the text
A. P2P, a New Way of Investing B. High Risk, High Reward
C. PSA Shakes up the Market D. Farewell, Traditional Providers
35. What will the author most probably talk about in the next article
A. Some valuable suggestions on P2P.
B. Further analysis of low interest rates.
C. Another interesting investment way.
D. More noteworthy facts about P2P.

When you’re planning scheduled activities, knowing what to expect can help you feel mentally prepared for what’s to come. But sometimes, despite how much time and effort you put into planning something, things go wrong and everything falls apart. 36 Following are some strategies that can help you cope when things don’t go as planned.
Start by finding alternatives. 37 For instance, if you’re waiting on someone who’s running late, think about what you can productively do in the meantime so you’re not sitting idly by until they arrive. Is there work or a call you might be able to catch up on while you’re waiting
Besides, you can benefit from working on flexibility. If something changes in your schedule, take a moment to assess how it affects you and whether you can realistically manage the change in plans. Rather than reacting immediately or assuming the worst, calmly and logically work out whether or not you can accommodate the change. You might find that you are in fact able to cope with it. 38 8
39 People often try very hard to do things perfectly. However, chasing perfection can be a losing battle. It’s often more helpful to have realistic expectations and to be willing to adjust them depending on the circumstances.
What’s more, don’t forget to seek support. If you feel you’re struggling with something difficult, it can be helpful to seek the support of your colleagues, friends, or family members. 40 They can also help you find solutions, or simply provide moral support while you’re facing something difficult.
Observing the circumstances is also vital.
It can also help to adjust your expectations.
But no need to beat yourself up if you can’t.
Don’t be panicked if this really stresses you out.
They may be able to offer different perspectives.
You must be realistic about the difficulty of planning.
You can deal with the change by looking for different solutions.

On the morning of Jan. 21st, 2023, I was taking the subway to work as usual. A quiet subway ride felt like a mini 41 from my busy life. Yet I found myself spending that 42 time browsing my endless messages on the phone.
One day, I put down my phone and started writing 43 notes to people who had contributed to a donation activity I had 44 . When I got off the train, I was in a noticeably 45 mood. Then an idea struck me that I could write one for every day of that year. As an organizer and consultant, I had no
46 of people I could write to, so I picked out a different 47 for each month to keep on task. January was “charity”, February was …, and I thought of 48 names right away.

53 , I received a note back from her, 54 “I have never received such a touching letter before. It was 55 expectation and unbelievably thoughtful. And so needed at a time when I’m 56 6 professionally. Your letter was a fantastic reminder that 57 back is a good motivation for moving forward.”
Part of the 58 of what I did was 59 with people like Jenny — people, who weren’t 60 0 visitors in my life but made a lasting impact. And I wouldn’t have known if I had not reached out.

One possible version:
Value Good Handwriting
Recently, it has been found out that the majority of students in our school don’t value good handwriting, resulting in messy papers, which in turn affects their academic performance.
Several reasons account for this issue. Firstly, the widespread use of digital devices has made typing more convenient, leading to a decline in the practice of handwriting. Secondly, the emphasis on speed and efficiency makes it hard for students to realize the importance of neat and beautiful handwriting.
To address this, I suggest our school organize handwriting workshops to encourage regular practice and teachers set aside time specifically for handwriting exercises during classes. Besides, we students should be aware that haste makes waste, so rather than blindly emphasizing speed and efficiency, we should prioritize quality writing.
I believe by improving our handwriting, ultimately we can enhance our academic performance.

It is called The Eye of Heaven. In the first year of its operation, it discovered two new “pulsars” which are very large, powerful stars. (18) It cost 180 million U.S. dollars, and a whole village had to be moved to make room for it. It is China’s FAST, or Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope. A chief scientist and engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences helped create it. The FAST is one of the world’s largest and most impressive radio telescopes, (19) located in a natural basin in southwest China. It was built from 2011 to 2016. And it quickly helped scientists find some incredible stars that exist thousands of light years away. It is not only very large and expensive, but it also has a unique design. It is made up of metal panels controlled by computers. The computers direct the telescope to view the sky from many different angles. (20) The FAST is an important scientific development that shows the impressive Chinese research being done today.

说明文。事情往往不会完全按照计划安排发展，遇到意外时，人们可以采取相应的措施来应对。本文先总起再分述，给读者呈现了几种有效的应对策略。
36. D 承上启下。上句讲述了无论怎样详尽计划，事情总会出现变数。下句引出相应解决措施，D选项过渡衔接，如果变数困扰你的话，不用恐慌。
37. G 本段主题句为第一句“Start by finding alternatives.” 措施之一就是找出替代方案，此空就替代方案展开陈述：如果发生了变数，找出解决办法就可以解决。
38. C 本段主题句为第一句“you can benefit from working on flexibility.” 措施之二为要有灵活性。此空在段尾，前面信息是出现的变数可以被解决，回扣主题flexibility: 如果实在解决不了也不用苛求自己。

完形填空
D 从本句后半部分 “…from my busy life” 可知，每天坐火车上班的时间是 “我” 在繁忙的生活中可以忙里偷闲的宝贵时光。所以对 “我” 而言，这段车程让 “我” 感觉就像一个小型假期，能带来休息和放松。
C 根据本段话中的 “Yet” 一词可以推知此处有转折，表达的意思是：然而，“我” 却用这难得的时间浏览手机上没完没了的信息。因此这里应该选择一个褒义词 “precious”。 “temporary”是一个干扰项，表示临时的，暂时的。根据上下文语境，作者在此处更想强调这安静的时间难得。
D 从本句 “…to people who had contributed to a donation activity…” 以及全文，尤其是 “我” 写信感谢Jenny的情节等线索可以推知 “我” 写的是感谢信。
A 根据下文 “As an organizer and consultant, …”, 我们可以推知这个活动应该是 “我” 主办的。
A 从后文 “我” 决定每天写一封感谢信可以推知“我”应该是因为做完这件事感到心情变得更好才会继续进行。
B 根据上文 “As an organizer and consultant…” 可知 “我” 的社交范围广泛，生活中不缺少需要 “我” 寄感谢信的人。
C 根据本句以及后文 “January was ‘charity’, February was …”, 可知，“我” 给每个月定了一个主题。
B 根据前半句 “January was “charity”, February was …and…” 以及上文 “Then an idea struck me that I could write one for every day of that year. ” 可知 “我” 决定那一年每天写一封感谢信，然后每个月决定一个主题，“我” 已经想出一月的，二月的，然后很快 “我”把十二月的主题都想好了。该句中的and表示并列关系，所以后面的内容应与前面提到的一致。
D 根据本段提到的信息：“我” 感谢的对象是chef；“我” 感谢的内容是她为 “我” 精心准备了周年纪念的饼干，所以这个月的主题应该是 “food” 。
B 从一月到七月，“我” 已经坚持写了七个多月的感谢信了，所以长期的坚持让“我”能够熟练地回忆往事并找到 “我” 写信的人选。 “identify” 此处表示：找到、发现、确定。
C 从后面Jenny为 “我” 的六周年结婚纪念日精心准备数字饼干的细节可以推知她是一位非常体贴，善解人意的厨师。
A 从 “…the Roman number Ⅵ for our sixth wedding anniversary…” 这句话中可以看出罗马数字Ⅵ (6)与 “我” 六周年结婚纪念日之间的对应关系，所以“我”们可以推知Jenny把饼干做成了罗马数字Ⅵ (6) 的形状。
B 从结尾处的升华部分可知Jenny让 “我” 认识到了 “我” 写感谢信的意义，再根据“And I wouldn’t have known if I had not reached out.” 可知，“我” 其实之前从来没有想过“我” 这样做会带来怎么的影响，所以当 “我” 收到Jenny的来信时觉得非常惊喜。
D 信上写着什么样的内容，我们应该用 “say” 或者 “ read”。
A 根据前文 “I have never received such a touching letter before.” 以及后半句中的 “unbelievably” 一词可知，Jenny完全没有意料到她会收到 “我” 的感谢信，所以此处要用 “out of expectation” （出乎意料的）。
A 从上文中 “She had cooked at my favorite restaurant (It is now closed down)” 可知现在Jenny工作的餐馆已经倒闭了，她现在的事业发展正处于艰难时期。
D 从 “我” 感谢信中内容可知 “我” 是在回忆当时Jenny带给 “我” 的感动和美好，所以此处应该填 “looking back” 表述回顾过去。
B 最后一段是全文的主旨升华，“我” 在归纳自己写感谢信的意义所在，这个意义重大但是又是 “我” 之前没有想到的，所以此处填 “magic” 最为恰当。
C “我” 写感谢信给Jenny，Jenny回信向 “我” 表达激动之情。用这样一个事例，“我”认为 “我” 通过写感谢信跟周围像Jenny一样的人们重新联系起来了。
C Jenny在 “我” 的生活中虽然不经常打交道，但是她却给 “我” 带来长久的影响和感动。所以根据but一词，以及Jenny的身份和她 “我” 之间的关系，我们可以推知此处应该填 “frequent”。这个题的干扰项是 “important”。根据后面的 “made a lasting impact”可知 “我” 想强调他们的重要影响，所以前面应该选个中性词 “frequent” 而不是褒义词 “important” 以形成转折关系。

短文改错

73. 考查代词。 根据上下文可知此处应该使用代词my。
74. 考查冠词。 18（eighteen）读音是以元音开头，所以此处应该使用冠词an。
