Back in 1958，I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746.The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender(车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day.Even better，the 746 had a working headlight and smoker，and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately，the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50，equal to about $450 today.That was far more than my grandfather could afford.Instead，I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic，which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight，no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed，and I was in my plicated sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains.I never gave a look.My interest in toy trains，I firmly believed，had faded，nor did my admiration for the 746，since my grandfather was not with me.The 746 was never called to mind.On an ordinary day，however，I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show.Just one look，I could not look away.Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind，happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the centre of the room，and let my childhood dream sing its way around me.Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender.It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.
24．Which best describes the 746 in the author’s eyes
A．It was taller than the author.
B．Its price rose from $50 to $450.
C．It was the largest train in 1958.
D．Its beauty was beyond compare.
25．How did the author feel when receiving his little Lionel plastic
A．Visibly relieved.
B．Really excited.
C．Terribly shameful.
D．Slightly unsatisfied.
26．What happened to the author in his 30s
A．He left his grandfather alone.
B．He didn’t favor the 746 at all.
C．He attempted not to recall the past.
D．He admired advanced toy trains.
27．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．Toy Trains：Childhood in History
B．The 746：Childhood Memories of Love
C．Toy Trains：Memories of a Generation
D．The 746：a Perfect Gift from My Grandfather
C
Teen brains aged faster than normal from stress by at least three years，a study has found.The study，published in Biological Psychiatry：Global Open Science，was the first to compare examinations of the physical structures of teenagers’ brains from before and after the stress started，and to document significant differences.
Researchers knew teens had higher levels of depression，anxiety and fearfulness than before the stress.But we knew nothing about the effects on their brains.The researchers found growth in brain areas that control access to some memories and help control fear，stress and other emotions.
Premature(过早的) aging of kids’ brains isn’t a positive development.Their stressful childhood experiences not only make people easier to suffer from depression，anxiety and other mental illnesses，but they can raise the risk of cancer，heart disease and other long-term negative outcomes.
The scientists tried to make out how the stress itself may have impacted the physical structure of the children’s brains and their mental health.They matched pairs of children with the same age，gender and stress.“That allowed us to compare 16-year-olds before the stress with different 16-year-olds assessed after the stress，” said Ian Gotlib，a psychology professor at Stanford University.
To determine the brain age of their samples，the researchers fed their brain examinations into a machine-learning model for predicting brain age developed by the ENIGMA-Brain Age working group，a co-operation among scientists who share their brain image data sets.They also evaluated mental health outcomes reported by the matched pairs.They found more severe symptoms of anxiety，depression and internalizing(内在化的) problems in the group that had experienced the stress.
Dan Siegel，clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine，noted that many individuals experience post-traumatic(创伤后的) growth after a stressful experience.“This is a useful initial study，” agreed David Fassler，clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont.“I expect the results will inform the design of future research initiatives.”
28．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A．Researchers had a good knowledge of aging.
B．Stress greatly influenced teenagers’ brains.
C．Brain growth improved teenagers’ happiness.
D．Bad memories resulted in negative emotions.
29．What enabled scientists to do research according to Ian Gotlib
A．The application of advanced technology.
B．The accurate analysis of the data provided.
C．The participation of volunteer teenagers.
D．The previous experience of the researchers.
30．Why was the machine-learning model developed
A．To satisfy the need of the market.
B．To evaluate the brain age of samples.
C．To predict mental health outcomes.
D．To solve internalizing problems.
31．What was David Fassler’s attitude to the study
A．Favorable. B．Indifferent.
C．Doubtful. D．Unclear.
D
Modern life is full of things that can influence your ability to be sensitive and responsive to your child.These include extra work, lack of sleep, and things like mobile devices.Some experts are concerned about the effects that these things trigger off on emotional bonding and children’s language development, social interaction, and safety.
If parents are inconsistently available, kids can get distressed(苦恼的) and feel hurt, rejected, or ignored.They may have more emotional outbursts and feel alone.They may even stop trying to compete for their parents’ attention and start to lose emotional connections to their parents.
“There are times when kids really do need your attention and want your recognition.Parents need to communicate that their kids are valuable and important, and children need to know that parents care what they’re doing，” explains Crnic, a psychologist.“Kids start to regulate their own emotions and behavior around age three.Up until then, they depend more on you to help them regulate their emotions, whether to calm them or help get them excited，” he adds.
Dr.Carol Metzler, who studies parenting at the Oregon Research Institute, explains, “They’re watching you to see how you do it and listening to how you talk to them about it.Parents need to be good self-regulators.You’re not only trying to regulate your own emotions in the moment, but helping your child learn to manage their emotions and behavior.It can be tough to respond to your kids with sensitivity during tantrums(发脾气), arguments, or other challenging times.If parents respond by being bad-tempered or aggressive(攻击性的) themselves, children can copy that behavior, and a negative cycle then continues to upgrade.”
As kids become better at managing their feelings and behavior, it’s important to help them develop coping skills, like active problem-solving.Such skills can help them feel confident in handling what comes their way.
32．Which of the following can replace the underlined words “trigger off”？
A．Set off. B．Burst into.
C．Consist of. D．Dive for.
33．Why does Metzler think it tough to respond to kids sensitively in paragraph 4
A．Because kids are unable to make out their parents’ arguments.
B．Because parents are too sensitive to train kids to be aggressive.
C．Because kids can not copy their parents’ behavior on these occasions.
D．Because parents have to control their feelings and teach it to their kids.
34．What’s the text mainly about
A．Parents should not be bad-tempered in front of their kids.
B．Parents should consistently develop their problem-solving skills.
C．Parents should engage with kids and respond to them positively.
D．Parents should continuously upgrade their language and emotions.
35．What will the writer probably talk about next
A．The way to train kids to be confident.
B．The way to train kids’ abilities to deal with matters.
C．The way to train kids to self-regulate their emotions.
D．The way to train kids’ abilities to be sensitive and responsible.

We know from research that putting pen to paper has many benefits that can support wellness in this time of digital overload.It has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety，lift your mood and strengthen your immune system. 36 Close your laptop，grab a notebook and pen，open to a blank page，and write down whatever comes to mind.
I’ve been journaling for more than 25 years.When I write by hand，I release feelings and emotions that roll down the tip of the pen and onto the page.It turns out that the art of formatting each letter on the page helps you better keep the information you are recording. 37
38 There’s no need to worry about the device I am working on being charged up，or being distracted away from the very thing I am working on with the endless noise of incoming messages，or getting the required signal from the Internet.
One weekend，I sat for over an hour and handwrote three birthday cards.I found myself lost in the writing space and totally engaged in the hand-lettering design that I created on the envelopes. 39 That was a sharp contrast to the concentration of multitasking.Writing by hand builds your creative muscles，which don’t get stimulated in the same impactful way when you work on a keyboard.
The wise words of Nancy Olson show the benefits of writing by hand：“ 40 It transports us to unexpected places，on wings that require only a small amount of ink to keep them high，destination unknown.And in the process，the mindfulness that writing creates encourages calm and creativity.”
A．So why not give writing by hand a try
B．Perhaps this is the true magic of the pen.
C．It can also help you organize the thoughts.
D．The act of journaling takes many people offline.
E．The power of focus in that moment was charming.
F．Writing spaces，no matter how short，are like a mindfulness.
G．I love the directness of putting pen to paper without being interrupted.

Today was Community Service Day at school.Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home.It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace(腿支架) to school，which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning，Maya looked down，feeling embarrassed.To make it lovelier，she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns.Still，she was unsure about others’ reaction.All morning at school，kids kept glancing at her brace.To her relief，they didn’t say anything.
In the classroom，Maya was drawing little green buds(芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her.She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking，“What’s that for？” Not knowing what to say，Maya pretended she didn’t hear him.After a few seconds of awkwardness，she glanced back at him，and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch，the class set off.The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path.Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old.There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair，with a big smile on her face，sat the lady，wearing a pink coat，with red lipstick and beautiful earrings.She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir，she greeted first.“I’m Joan，” she said cheerfully，“Glad to meet you.”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made.Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration，“You’ve written a poem！That’s so artistic！” Samir’s face reddened with shyness.Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture.“The first flowers of spring！” she cried in delight.“You really have a gift for using colour！” she said.Clearly，Joan’s praise added great power into Maya.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
In a sudden wave of bravery，Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？”
Deeply impressed by Joan，Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.

It was 2∶05 in the afternoon.When I entered the classroom，I was surprised to see a video camera.Our class teacher was operating the camera，and my classmates were all talking among themselves slowly.Most of us had never been in front of a video camera before，so we were quite nervous.As for of myself，I had once faced one at home，my uncle was shooting when we were celebrating my sister’s birthday.But this was completely different.We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV.The funny thing was that every time I tried to face the camera and talk about my article，I forgot the article and couldn’t resist looking down at it.It was a completely different experience for me，thanks to our class teacher.

Back in 1958，I was crazy about the Norfolk and Western 746.The smooth bullet-nose engine with its orange and yellow lines and shiny streamlined black tender(车厢) seemed to have cast a spell on me.
Together the engine and tender measured a little shy of 2 feet—enormous by the toy train standards of the day.Even better，the 746 had a working headlight and smoker，and its tender sang high.
Unfortunately，the amazing 746 also had an amazing price—$50，equal to about $450 today.That was far more than my grandfather could afford.Instead，I had to be content with his little Lionel plastic，which was SIX INCHES shorter than the 746 and had no headlight，no smoker or no sound! But that was the best that my grandfather could give me at that time.
Years passed，and I was in my plicated sound systems and computer controls dominated toy trains.I never gave a look.My interest in toy trains，I firmly believed，had faded，nor did my admiration for the 746，since my grandfather was not with me.The 746 was never called to mind.On an ordinary day，however，I happened to see the 746 outside the window of a train show.Just one look，I could not look away.Childhood memories that I tried to hide in the depths of my heart raced through my mind，happy or sad.
That day I took the 746 home and placed it in the centre of the room，and let my childhood dream sing its way around me.Smoke rose out from the engine and the soft song sounded from its tender.It seemed as if I could see the soft light in grandfather’s eyes and hear his cheerful laughter.

Teen brains aged faster than normal from stress by at least three years，a study has found.The study，published in Biological Psychiatry：Global Open Science，was the first to compare examinations of the physical structures of teenagers’ brains from before and after the stress started，and to document significant differences.
Researchers knew teens had higher levels of depression，anxiety and fearfulness than before the stress.But we knew nothing about the effects on their brains.The researchers found growth in brain areas that control access to some memories and help control fear，stress and other emotions.
Premature(过早的) aging of kids’ brains isn’t a positive development.Their stressful childhood experiences not only make people easier to suffer from depression，anxiety and other mental illnesses，but they can raise the risk of cancer，heart disease and other long-term negative outcomes.
The scientists tried to make out how the stress itself may have impacted the physical structure of the children’s brains and their mental health.They matched pairs of children with the same age，gender and stress.“That allowed us to compare 16-year-olds before the stress with different 16-year-olds assessed after the stress，” said Ian Gotlib，a psychology professor at Stanford University.
To determine the brain age of their samples，the researchers fed their brain examinations into a machine-learning model for predicting brain age developed by the ENIGMA-Brain Age working group，a co-operation among scientists who share their brain image data sets.They also evaluated mental health outcomes reported by the matched pairs.They found more severe symptoms of anxiety，depression and internalizing(内在化的) problems in the group that had experienced the stress.
Dan Siegel，clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCLA School of Medicine，noted that many individuals experience post-traumatic(创伤后的) growth after a stressful experience.“This is a useful initial study，” agreed David Fassler，clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Vermont.“I expect the results will inform the design of future research initiatives.”

Modern life is full of things that can influence your ability to be sensitive and responsive to your child.These include extra work, lack of sleep, and things like mobile devices.Some experts are concerned about the effects that these things trigger off on emotional bonding and children’s language development, social interaction, and safety.
If parents are inconsistently available, kids can get distressed(苦恼的) and feel hurt, rejected, or ignored.They may have more emotional outbursts and feel alone.They may even stop trying to compete for their parents’ attention and start to lose emotional connections to their parents.
“There are times when kids really do need your attention and want your recognition.Parents need to communicate that their kids are valuable and important, and children need to know that parents care what they’re doing，” explains Crnic, a psychologist.“Kids start to regulate their own emotions and behavior around age three.Up until then, they depend more on you to help them regulate their emotions, whether to calm them or help get them excited，” he adds.
Dr.Carol Metzler, who studies parenting at the Oregon Research Institute, explains, “They’re watching you to see how you do it and listening to how you talk to them about it.Parents need to be good self-regulators.You’re not only trying to regulate your own emotions in the moment, but helping your child learn to manage their emotions and behavior.It can be tough to respond to your kids with sensitivity during tantrums(发脾气), arguments, or other challenging times.If parents respond by being bad-tempered or aggressive(攻击性的) themselves, children can copy that behavior, and a negative cycle then continues to upgrade.”
As kids become better at managing their feelings and behavior, it’s important to help them develop coping skills, like active problem-solving.Such skills can help them feel confident in handling what comes their way.
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了父母要与孩子建立密切的联系并积极地回应孩子。
32．Which of the following can replace the underlined words “trigger off”？
A．Set off. B．Burst into.
C．Consist of. D．Dive for.
答案　A
解析　词义猜测题。根据第一段“Modern life is full of things that can influence your ability to be sensitive and responsive to your child.These include extra work，...Some experts are concerned about the effects that these things trigger off on emotional bonding and children’s language development, ...”可知，本段主要讲述了影响父母理解、体恤孩子并积极回应孩子能力的事物及其所引发的后果。画线词所在句为that引导的定语从句，修饰effects，意为“这些事物所产生的影响”，因此trigger off的意义与set off“引发，激起”相同。故选A。
33．Why does Metzler think it tough to respond to kids sensitively in paragraph 4
A．Because kids are unable to make out their parents’ arguments.
B．Because parents are too sensitive to train kids to be aggressive.
C．Because kids can not copy their parents’ behavior on these occasions.
D．Because parents have to control their feelings and teach it to their kids.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中“Parents need to be good self-regulators.You’re not only trying to regulate your own emotions in the moment, but helping your child learn to manage their emotions and behavior.It can be tough to respond to your kids with sensitivity during tantrums(发脾气)，arguments，...”可知，Metzler 认为谨慎地回应孩子们很困难，这是因为父母在发脾气、争论等的时候不仅要自我调节情绪，还要帮助孩子学会管控情绪和行为。故选D。
34．What’s the text mainly about
A．Parents should not be bad-tempered in front of their kids.
B．Parents should consistently develop their problem-solving skills.
C．Parents should engage with kids and respond to them positively.
D．Parents should continuously upgrade their language and emotions.
答案　C
解析　主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述了现代生活中的一些事物会影响父母与孩子建立密切的联系以及父母对孩子的回应，以及由此而引发的对孩子的负面影响，还讲述了父母应当做好自我管理以避免负面的情绪和行为被孩子效仿等，由此可知，文章主要讲了父母应该与孩子建立亲密的联系并积极回应他们。故选C。
35．What will the writer probably talk about next
A．The way to train kids to be confident.
B．The way to train kids’ abilities to deal with matters.
C．The way to train kids to self-regulate their emotions.
D．The way to train kids’ abilities to be sensitive and responsible.
答案　B
解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段“As kids become better at managing their feelings and behavior, it’s important to help them develop coping skills, like active problem-solving.Such skills...”可知，父母帮助孩子发展解决问题的技能很重要，由此可推测，作者接下来会谈及如何培养孩子解决实际问题的技能。故选B。

We know from research that putting pen to paper has many benefits that can support wellness in this time of digital overload.It has been scientifically proven to reduce anxiety，lift your mood and strengthen your immune system. 36 Close your laptop，grab a notebook and pen，open to a blank page，and write down whatever comes to mind.
I’ve been journaling for more than 25 years.When I write by hand，I release feelings and emotions that roll down the tip of the pen and onto the page.It turns out that the art of formatting each letter on the page helps you better keep the information you are recording. 37
38 There’s no need to worry about the device I am working on being charged up，or being distracted away from the very thing I am working on with the endless noise of incoming messages，or getting the required signal from the Internet.
One weekend，I sat for over an hour and handwrote three birthday cards.I found myself lost in the writing space and totally engaged in the hand-lettering design that I created on the envelopes. 39 That was a sharp contrast to the concentration of multitasking.Writing by hand builds your creative muscles，which don’t get stimulated in the same impactful way when you work on a keyboard.
The wise words of Nancy Olson show the benefits of writing by hand：“ 40 It transports us to unexpected places，on wings that require only a small amount of ink to keep them high，destination unknown.And in the process，the mindfulness that writing creates encourages calm and creativity.”
A．So why not give writing by hand a try
B．Perhaps this is the true magic of the pen.
C．It can also help you organize the thoughts.
D．The act of journaling takes many people offline.
E．The power of focus in that moment was charming.
F．Writing spaces，no matter how short，are like a mindfulness.
G．I love the directness of putting pen to paper without being interrupted.

37．答案　C
解析　空格前说手写有助于释放情绪、保持专注，空格处应继续讲它还有什么好处，C选项“它也可以帮助你组织思想。”承接上文，符合语境，故选C。
38．答案　G
解析　空格处位于段首，且本段后文主要讲的是用手写字不会被打扰，G选项“我喜欢直接用笔写在纸上而不被打断的感觉。”说明了用笔写字不怕被打断，引起下文，故选G。
39．答案　E
解析　空格前说“I found myself lost in the writing space and totally engaged in the hand-lettering design that I created on the envelopes.”E选项“那一刻专注的力量是迷人的。”是对前面那种专注进行评论，承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
40．答案　F
解析　F选项“写作的时间，无论多短，都像一种正念冥想。”为本段的主题句，空格后“It transports us to unexpected places，on wings that require only a small amount of ink to keep them high，destination unknown.”则是支撑信息，进一步解释说明：它把我们带到意想不到的地方，只需要一点点墨水就能让我们展翅高飞，目的地未知。其中mindfulness是原词复现。因此F选项引起下文，符合语境，故选F。

Owing to the infection of a bad cold，I have been feeling unwell these days.Aching all over with a persistent high fever，I have to be confined to bed all day long.Consequently，it would be difficult for me to finish the assignment on time.I wonder if you could allow me to postpone the submission time until next Friday.
I would appreciate it very much if you could take my request into consideration.Looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua

Today was Community Service Day at school.Maya’s class was going to make cards for the seniors living in a nursing home.It was also the first day Maya would be wearing her leg brace(腿支架) to school，which was designed to help her walk more steadily and smoothly.
It was a cold autumn morning，Maya looked down，feeling embarrassed.To make it lovelier，she had delicately decorated the brace with pretty butterfly patterns.Still，she was unsure about others’ reaction.All morning at school，kids kept glancing at her brace.To her relief，they didn’t say anything.
In the classroom，Maya was drawing little green buds(芽) and pretty flowers when her friend Samir came over and sat by her.She felt his eyes fixed on her brace and heard him asking，“What’s that for？” Not knowing what to say，Maya pretended she didn’t hear him.After a few seconds of awkwardness，she glanced back at him，and found that he looked a little sad.
After lunch，the class set off.The nursing home was on a small hill and all of them walked there happily along the path.Maya found that the brace did make it easier for her to walk up.
Maya and Samir were paired up with a lady who was 83 years old.There at the end of the hall in a wheelchair，with a big smile on her face，sat the lady，wearing a pink coat，with red lipstick and beautiful earrings.She looked bright and full of life.Moving flexibly and fast towards Maya and Samir，she greeted first.“I’m Joan，” she said cheerfully，“Glad to meet you.”
Maya and Samir handed her the cards they made.Joan looked at Samir’s card carefully and spoke with admiration，“You’ve written a poem！That’s so artistic！” Samir’s face reddened with shyness.Then Joan turned to Maya’s picture.“The first flowers of spring！” she cried in delight.“You really have a gift for using colour！” she said.Clearly，Joan’s praise added great power into Maya.

In a sudden wave of bravery，Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？”
Deeply impressed by Joan，Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.

In a sudden wave of bravery，Maya asked，“What’s it like being in a wheelchair？” “It helps me get around，” Joan said simply.Then，grinning，she added，“You’d be surprised at how fast I can go in this thing！” Right then，she moved the wheelchair across the room，turning around，back and forth.And what surprised Maya most was that she didn’t detect any pity or embarrassment from her.Then Maya looked up and found Joan was smiling，eyes purposefully resting on her brace.It was then that a spark of power was lit up deep inside Maya.That afternoon，the three of them had a pleasant talk over lots of things until it was dusk.
Deeply impressed by Joan，Maya offered to sit beside Samir on the bus ride back home.“Joan is great.I like her.” Samir admired.Maya nodded，lost in thought.With Joan’s wheelchair and smile in mind，she summoned up her courage and said，“The brace keeps my toe up so I can walk better.” “Really？” Samir looked amazed，reached out and touched it gently.“That’s super cool！” His words were so sincere that Maya felt warm and moved.It was a reaction that she expected deep inside her heart.Though it was autumn outside，it felt like spring for Maya.A little green bud was bursting—she and her brace looked cool，beautiful and dynamic in her and others’ eyes.
