35. D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Dr Holly Root-Gutteridge, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Lincoln who was not involved in the study, said: “It’s particularly interesting because I think it’s unlikely this started during domestication, so it may be widespread throughout mammals.”可知，霍利·鲁特-古特里奇博士对这项研究的态度是：肯定的。故选D。

读后续写
I grabbed some ice cream with a spoon and playfully held it in front of Rhys. His eyes lit up with excitement, and a big smile spread across his face. I felt a sense of joy and connection with him as I saw his pure delight. Without hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the spoon, taking a big bite of the ice cream. His laughter filled the air, and I felt a burden lifted off my shoulders. I started to enjoy the moment, forgetting about my earlier embarrassment and anxiety.
Seeing Rhys’s smiling face, I decided to take Rhys out more often. From then on, I began to look forward to spending more time with Rhys. Every weekend, I would actively suggest going out with him and experiencing different things together. Whether it was going to the park, visiting the zoo, or simply taking a walk around the neighborhood, I enjoyed every moment with him. I no longer cared about what others’ thought, but only focused on the happiness and connection with my brother.

“People in a hurry have no seasons, only from last station to the next.” This sentence is from Man in a Hurry, the first poetry collection of more than 180 poems from Wang Jibing. Since 2009, Wang has written over 4,000 poems on a range of subjects, including his working experiences in different cities, his recollections of his parents and hometown, and observations of society and life.
Working as a food delivery driver now in Kunshan, Jiangsu province, Wang has always loved reading and writing. Living a busy life, he only has two hours a day for his literature hobby. Wang’s poem People in a Hurry makes him well-known online. He wrote it after he received incorrect addresses from customers twice in one evening, leading to him delivering late. “If the life of a deliveryman is bitter like taking medicine, there is no doubt that poetry is the candy for me after the medicine,” Wang wrote. This April, Wang published his second poetry collection of 130 poems, titled I Love This World Clumsily.
“I don’t intend to work as a writer. The priority is always the same, looking after my family, so I’ll keep my regular job delivering food,” says Wang.河北省2024届高三年级模拟考试

Love knows no bounds, especially when it comes to the person you’ve shared your life with. Peter Burkhardt, a 90-year-old man from Netherlands, is the embodiment（体现）of this idea. Every day, he travels 17 kilometers to accompany his wife of 63 years who now lives in a hospice（养老院）in Apeldoorn. While on days when the weather is very bad, he takes a cab or is driven then by his children, most times he gets on his bike and crosses the city on his own. It takes him an hour to get there and an hour to cycle back home.
In the colder months, Burkhardt keeps himself warm with a blue ski suit with a body warmer on top and a white cap to keep his head warm. “I’ve done skiing with pleasure. Cold doesn’t bother me and with rain, you can put on a rain jacket,” he told an interviewer. “So I’ll always get to my wife.” Burkhardt knows the route by heart, as he has been traveling to his wife’s hospice for the past seven years.
Even if he wanted to drive, Burkhardt’s license wasn’t approved and he hasn’t had a car. However, nothing stops this senior in love. “I walk a lot less now, but cycling is still going well.”
Burkhardt says that his wife doesn’t know what it takes him to reach her every day. “It is completely outside her field of experience. But when I’m back, I notice that she gives me a very nice hug every now and then.” His children have encouraged him to keep on visiting their mom every day.
Burkhardt’s devotion has certainly moved others. But above all, he has done everything in his power to spend as much time as possible with the love of his life-no matter what it takes.
24. Why does Peter Burkhardt visit his wife every day
A. To help her recover. B. To show off his love.
C. To keep her company. D. To check on her condition.
25. How does Peter Burkhardt usually get to the hospice
A. By bus. B. By car. C. By taxi. D. By bike.
26. Which of the following can best describe Peter Burkhardt
A. Faithful and reliable. B. Capable and brave.
C. Successful and helpful. D. Adventurous and curious.
27. What is the best title for the text
A. The Power of Ageless Love
B. Peter Burkhardt’s Daily Routine
C. Peter Burkhardt Doesn’t Give Up on His Wife
D. Man Cycles 17 Kilometers to Visit His Wife in Hospice Daily
C
Recent studies suggest four out of 10 persons feel lonely at least one or two days per week, with younger persons (Millennials and Gen Z) exhibiting signs of extreme alienation（疏远）and disconnection more than other generations. Even older people, who are frequently regarded as lonely with few persons to speak to and objectively have lost many family members and friends, report less loneliness than Millennials. Why do Millennials report being the most lonely, and what can be done to address it
Thirty percent of people between 23 and 38 said they often “feel lonely.” “But wait,” you may say. “Aren’t they connected through technology, social media platforms, and various apps ” Yes, but one of the challenges of extensive smartphone and app use today is that we are being trained to stare at screens rather than meet and have face-to-face conversations with people. Still, at the same time, people who spend more than 8 hours a day on screens per day tend to report other issues: depression, anxiety and other serious challenges to their well-being.
A meeting of minds used to happen via religious gatherings and school. So a possible solution is to create spaces and locations where one (and not just Millennials) can meet folks who share additional common interests. One possibility is through regular exercise outside the home. Going to a YMCA or a gym to a Zumba, yoga, or cycling class presents an opportunity to enjoy physical activity and have brief conversations with them before and after the session.
In addition to the obvious positive physical effects of the exercise, it can be surprising how beneficial a quick conversation can be with someone you may have just met. The boost in mood is palpable and can lead to better workouts due to increased available energy and motivation.
In conclusion, spending a little less time on the phone and a little more time walking in the neighborhood, in a park, or going early and staying late at the gym can work wonders for one’s mood and health.
28. Why do Millennials often feel lonelier than other generations
A. They refuse to open up their inner world.
B. They don’t like to go to religious gatherings.
C. They are less connected with others in real life.
D. They have fewer opportunities to interact with people.
29. What is the possible solution mentioned in the text to address loneliness
A. Limiting screen time. B. Going to a nightclub with classmates.
C. Joining a group to exercise together. D. Strengthening the parent-child bond.
30. What does the underlined word “palpable” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Noticeable. B. Comfortable. C. Fortunate. D. Temporary.
31. What’s mainly talked about in the text
A. The ways for millennials to make new friends.
B. The importance of face-to-face communication.
C. How to make new friends for Millennials and Gen Z.
D. Why Millennials feel lonely and solutions to address the problem.
D
Dogs understand what certain words stand for, according to researchers who monitored the brain activity of willing dogs while they were shown balls, slippers, and other items.
This finding means that dogs can understand more than just commands like “sit” and “fetch”, and the exciting “walkies”. They can also grasp the basic meaning of nouns, especially those related to things they like. “I think the capacity is there in all dogs,” said Marianna Boros, who helped arrange the experiments at E tv s Loránd University in Hungary. “This changes our understanding of language evolution and our sense of what is uniquely human.” A survey in 2022 found that dog owners believed their furry companions responded to between 15 and 215 words.
However, studies have said little about what is happening in the dog brain when it processes words. To explore the secret, Boros and her colleagues invited 18 dog owners to bring their pets to the laboratory along with five objects the animals knew well. These included balls, slippers, Frisbees（飞盘）, rubber toys, leads and other items.
At the lab, the owners were instructed to say words for objects before showing their dogs either the correct item or a different one. For example, an owner might say “Look, here’s the ball”, but hold up a frisbee instead. The experiments were repeated multiple times with matching and non-matching objects.
During the tests, researchers monitored the dogs’ brain activity through electroencephalography, or EEG. The traces（痕迹）revealed different patterns of activity when the objects matched or mismatched the words their owner said. The difference in the traces was more pronounced for words that owners believed their dogs knew best.
Writing in Current Biology, the scientists say the results“provide the first neural（神经的）evidence for object word knowledge in a non-human animal”. Boros emphasized she was not claiming dogs understood words as well as humans.
Dr Holly Root-Gutteridge, a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Lincoln who was not involved in the study, said: “It’s particularly interesting because I think it’s unlikely this started during domestication（驯化）, so it may be widespread throughout mammals. That’s highly exciting in itself, as it shines new light on language evolution.”
32. Why did the scientists do the experiments
A. To study how dogs process words. B. To find out if dogs understand nouns.
C. To prove dogs are as clever as humans. D. To discover the secret of language evolution.
33. How did the researchers get the result
A. By observing different dogs’ behavior. B. By comparing different dogs’ responses.
C. By monitoring different dogs’ brain activity. D. By analyzing the data of previous surveys.
34. What did the scientists conclude from the results of their study
A. Dogs only respond to objects, not words. B. Dogs understand words as well as humans.
C. Dogs can match some words with objects. D. Dogs are interested in learning new words.
35. What’s Dr Holly Root-Gutteridge’s attitude to the study

How to prepare for a museum visit
●Decide which museum to go to.
If you’re visiting a small city, then it’s pretty simple. Your choices will necessarily be limited. If you’re going to a big city like London, Paris or Rome, then you’re faced with a large number of choices. 36 You may prefer small less crowded museum s to large museums.
●Identify the museum’s masterpieces.
Once you’ve chosen a museum to visit, visit the museum’s website. 37 Then, read up on its collection and highlights. This kind of pre-trip studying will make the art and artifacts（文物）more fun and accessible.
●Decide how long you want to visit a museum.
Another good tip for visiting a museum is to decide in advance how long you want to stay. This may depend on the size of the museum. Or, it may depend on how long you can star eat art without getting “museum tiredness” and starting to glaze（变呆滞）over the artworks. 38
●Get a museum or audio guide.
Another way to have an enjoyable and relaxing museum visit is to book a private tour, especially for a very large museum or popular tourist attraction. The tour guide knows the museum very well. 39 Besides, Museums typically have either free or docent（讲解员）museum tours available as well. They are super informative and usually last roughly two hours. And you’ll also have a chance to ask any questions.
● 40
If you’re visiting a big museum, you’ll want to be efficient with your time. In the case, the best museum tip is to look at the layout of the building in advance. Some museum s are shockingly disorganized, sometimes because they’re housed in ancient buildings.
A. Learn the museum layout.
B. So you’ll get a deep look at the museum highlights.
C. Check out the hours and what day the museum is open.
D. It’s a good idea to figure out your parking options in advance.
E. As the length of a museum visit increases, your attention decreases.
F. Most museums have virtual tours or online collections that you can explore.

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。
As the warm summer sun sh one down on us, my dad and I stood in front of our house. “Would you like to go see Rhys and take him for ice cream ” my dad asked. I froze on the spot. I love my younger brother dearly, but it had been well over a year and a half since I had been in public with Rhys. The thought made me feel anxious.
Rhys is 14 and severely cognitively impaired（认知能力受损的）. He was diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation（突变）at birth. When I was young, I accompanied my mom or dad to pick him up from his new long-term care home at the end of our busy weekends to spend some time with him, normally at our home.
After picking Rhys up and taking the short car trip, we arrived at the ice cream store. I held onto Rhys in his chair while Dad placed our order. Rhys loves to grab things. He grabbed a woman walking by. I apologized. immediately, full of embarrassment.
After getting our ice cream, we sat outside. At this point, I was upset and just wanted to go home. Dad could tell that I was upset. He silently understood and let me be. But then I saw a father and a daughter walking along the road toward the ice cream store. The girl’s movements seemed strangely familiar. I noticed she was excited, behaving similarly to Rhys.
Watching those two changed my thinking completely. I realized I ‘wasn’t the only one in this situation: out in public with a family member with special needs. I smiled as I watched the father and the daughter just enjoying their day and not focusing on what others’ thought. They acted just like every other “typical” family. It occurred to me that I shouldn’t let what others think about Rhys ruin our time together. My days of being embarrassed by his actions had to come to an end.
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 grabbed some ice cream with a spoon and playfully held it in front of Rhys. Seeing Rhys’s smiling face, I decided to take Rhys out more often.
