Dear Mom, Clear My Calendar
September is around the corner, and some of us are already complaining about summer’s end. But parents have a special reason to do so. The end of summer means the start of school. And these days, planning a young child’s schedule is a big challenge. The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available. Our mailbox is filled with brochures urging us to sign our kids up for classes from cooking to martial arts(武术).
Educators are themselves discouraged by the number of special classes that many children attend. In the name of “enrichment,” three-year-olds not only go to preschool in the morning but study French or gymnastics after lunch. One teacher tells of a four-year-old asking for help in the toilet before hurrying off to tennis. Another teacher says that children sometimes hold on to her at pickup time. What happened to unstructured time
A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families. And one way to reduce this guilt is to believe that time spent in these classes is somehow more beneficial to children than the time we know we should be giving them ourselves.
David Elkind, an expert on children, suggests that the 1960s gave birth to the belief that earlier is better. Parents hope that early music lessons, for example will build a child’s confidence. The truth, however, is that any time children are asked to do too much, too soon, they are at greater risk for feelings of failure.
A child’s time does not have to be planned to be meaningful. Remember the lazy days of summer Some children sleep late and play with the kids across the street until it’s time to come home for dinner. However, with the majority of mothers working, fewer children enjoy that idle (空闲的) time now.
Come September, children across the country will finish a full day of kindergarten, only to attend an after-school program until 6 P.M., when a working mom or dad comes to take them home. That’s too much for a five-year old. Finances, of course, do limit some parents. But let’s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.
24．The author holds that it’s a challenge to plan a schedule for a child mainly because _____.
A．a child’s schedule is too complex
B．activities suitable for kids are limited
C．parents are stuck in numerous choices
D．children always say no to parents’ advice
25．What the two teachers say in Paragraph 2 implies that _____.
A．children love to stay at school
B．they are popular with children
C．children dislike after-school classes
D．after-school classes are of poor quality
26．According to the author, what is the real reason for parents to send their children to after-school classes
A．Parents want to make up for their own regrets.
B．After-school classes develop children’s potential.
C．Parents have doubt about their own ability to guide children.
D．After-school classes give parents an excuse for being absent.
27．Which of the following will the author probably agree with
A．For children’s benefits, the earlier the better.
B．Children’s spare time should be carefully designed.
C．Idle time for children is becoming a thing of the past.
D．Parents should be forgiven if they have a good reason.,
C
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people that peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can make your life fit it better. Habit can help. Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (打乱) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (精力) and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn (哈欠) and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy for your sharper hours.
28．Which of the following causes family quarrels
A．Familiar monologues.
B．Not knowing each other’s energy cycle.
C．A change in a family member’s energy cycle.
D．Attempts to control the energy of other family members
29．If you want to work better at your low point in the morning, you should _________.
A．change your energy cycle B．overcome your laziness
C．go to bed earlier D．get up early than usual
30．You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________.
A．help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B．help you to control your temper early in the day
C．enable you to get your energy on your routine work
D．keep your energy cycle under control all day
31．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Change Your Habits B．Save Your Energy
C．Daily Energy Cycle D．Temperature-and-Energy Peak
D
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
From young adulthood, our belief of what makes a good friendship changes very little, but our ability to maintain one does. It’s a poignant(令人心酸的) reality. We know what it means to be and have friends. But after we graduate from college and go our separate ways, we’re often unable to find the time and energy to maintain valuable friendships. Like anything else in life, if we want to remain friends with someone, it requires a little work.
According to psychologists, there are four basic behaviors necessary to maintain the bond. And they hold true whether we’re 17 or 70.
Communication promotes the first two essential behaviors: openness and supportiveness, both necessary for a close relationship. We must be willing to open up and share our lives with our friends, letting them know how we are doing. Similarly, we need to listen to them and offer support.
Interaction is the third essential in tending to a friendship. The specific activity doesn’t matter. The important thing is to interact. My best friend, Jane, goes back to school to earn her master’s in social work. She now deals with a large number of patients which takes up a lot of her time. We email and talk on our cell phones at whatever hour we can fit it in. And we do, always, make time to fit it in, which is how we stay good friends.
The last and most difficult behaviour necessary for keeping friends is being positive. While it is important to be open with our friends, we should not over-share our negative feelings. At the end of the day, a successful friendship must be enjoyable. The more we feel good about it, the more we’re willing to put in the energy it takes to keep it alive.
32．What are the first two essential behaviors to maintain a good friendship
33．How do Jane and the author interact with each other
34．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
To keep a successful friendship, we should not express our negative feelings.
35．Do you prefer to keep in touch with your friends online Why or why not (In about 40 words)

Bad News for the Highly Intelligent
There are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.
36 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.
To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 37 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent. 38
The results of this study must be interpreted (诠释) cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 39 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 40 In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.
A．Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.
B．There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.
C．It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.
D．Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.
E．That may cause the body’s stress response, which may make the person even more anxious.
F．It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.
G．They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.

A robot has been taught to laugh at jokes to make it more human. Researchers are using AI to train robots about appropriate laughter, and 56 (distinguish)between chuckles and screams.
They described 57 (work)with a robot called Erica in the hope of making a conversation more natural. “We think that one of the important 58 (function)of conversational Al is sympathy,” said Dr Koji Inoue, a professor. “A conversation is, of course, multimodal, not just responding correctly. So we decided that one way a robot can empathize (共情)with users is to share their laughter, 59 you cannot do with a text-based chatbot.”
Creating a “ 60 (share)laughter” model, the researchers used AI to help detect laughter and decide whether to laugh and what kind of laughter would be 61 (good). Four short dialogues between real people and Erica 62 (use)to test the system, which performed well.
However, the experts said there is more work to do to create 63 (true)natural laughter situations.
Dr Inoue said, “The robot should actually have 64 distinct character, and it can show this character through its conversational behaviors, such as laughing, ye gaze, gestures and speaking styles. It may well take more than 10 to 20 years before we can finally have a casual chat 65 a robot like we would with a friend.”

The morning sun shone through the curtains as I stood in the kitchen, carefully preparing lunch for my daughter, Emma. Today was a big day — her first day of elementary school. I packed her lunch in a bright, reusable lunchbox, the same kind my mother used to pack for me when I was a student.
“Mom, why can’t I use a plastic lunchbox like the other kids ” Emma asked, her small face frowning in confusion. I knelt down to her level, moving a piece of hair out of her face. “This lunchbox is part of our family tradition, sweetheart. When I was your age, your grandmother would pack my lunch in a similar container every day.” “But why, Mom ” she persisted(坚持不懈). “Isn’t it easier to just throw away a plastic lunchbox ”
I smiled and remembered my own school days, feeling frustrated(沮丧的)that I couldn’t just use a disposable(一次性的)box like everyone else. My mother would patiently explain, “We have to start with small actions, Mija. These little things add up to make a big difference.”
I remembered feeling out of place at school as my friends casually threw their plastic boxes into the trash, while I carefully saved my containers to take back home. It wasn’t untill was older that I fully appreciated the lesson my mother was teaching me.
Then I patiently explained to Emma, “Your grandmother always said that we have to take care of our planet. By using these reusable lunchboxes, we help reduce waste and protect the environment. It’s a small way to make a big difference.”
Emma looked at the lunchbox thoughtfully. “So, do I have to wash it after I eat ” “Yes,” I nodded. “It’s important to take care of it and bring it back home so we can use it again. It’s not just about the lunchbox, Emma. It’s about learning to be responsible and thinking about how our actions affect the world around us.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

As I walked Emma to the school bus, I put the lunchbox into her hands and told her it was special once again.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

26．D
【试题解析】细节题，从第三段1,2行A generous explanation is that we enjoy giving children opportunities we never had. The truth however is that many parents have doubts about how much time they spend away from their families和最后一句But let’s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.可知家长们把孩子送到辅导班主要是因为自己没有时间陪孩子，故选D。
27．C
【试题解析】推理判断题，文中提到家长由于工作繁忙没有时间陪孩子而把孩子送到课外班，孩子们的空闲时间已经一去不复返了，故选C。
【长难句解析】1.The challenge is no longer finding activities to fill a child’s day; it is saying no to the hundreds of options available.
【翻译】现在的问题不在是无法为孩子找到活动来充实他们的一整天，而是要对现有的成百上千的选择说不。
【发现】前面句中的表语是动名词短语finding activities to fill a child’s day，其中的不定式to fill a child’s day做定语，用来修饰名词activities的。第二句中考察了一个固定搭配say no to拒绝…。
2. But let’s be honest with ourselves – our own busy schedules, whatever they involve, are no excuse for burdening a young child’s.
【翻译】但是我们要承认，无论我们的时间表里涉及多少事情，我们满满的时间表不再是给孩子带来过多负担的借口和理由。
【分析】本句中有一个让步状语从句whatever they involve，“特殊疑问词+ever”既可以引导让步状语从句，也可以引导名词性从句。而“no matter+特殊疑问词”只能引导让步状语从句。
28．B 29．D 30．A 31．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有些人每天早起时很困难，是因为每个人都有自己独特的日常能量循环，所以每个人的习惯也不一样。
28．细节理解题。根据第二段“Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.(当丈夫和妻子意识到这些能量循环的含义，以及每个家庭成员所处的周期时，许多家庭争吵就结束了)”可知，不知道彼此的能量循环会引起家庭争吵。故选B。
29．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour.(如果你早上精力不足，但一大早又有重要的工作要做，那就比平时早起)”可知，如果你想在早晨情绪低落的时候工作得更好，你应该比平时早起。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段“Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a yawn (哈欠) and stretch.(慢慢开始，这样可以节省你的精力。打个哈欠起床，伸伸懒腰)”可知，作者建议早上起来先悠闲地打个哈欠，伸个懒腰的原因是为白天的工作储蓄能量。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.(你是否觉得早上起床很困难，甚至很痛苦？这可能被称为懒惰，但克莱特曼博士有一个新的解释。他证明了每个人每天都有一个能量循环)”可知，文章介绍了有些人每天早起时很困难，是因为每个人都有自己独特的日常能量循环，所以每个人的习惯也不一样。由此可知，C选项“每日能量循环”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【导语】本文是说明文。文章概述了心理学家推荐的四种维持友谊的基本行为：沟通(开放和支持)、互动和积极。作者强调，维持友谊需要努力，积极的互动和愿意分享而避免过度分享负面情绪是成功和愉快友谊的关键。
32．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Communication promotes the first two essential behaviors: openness and supportiveness, both necessary for a close relationship. (沟通促进了前两种基本行为：开放和支持，这两者都是亲密关系所必需的。)”可知，维持良好友谊的前两个基本行为是开放和支持。故填Openness and supportiveness.
33．考查细节理解。根据第四段的“We email and talk on our cell phones at whatever hour we can fit it in. (只要有时间，我们就发邮件、打电话。)”可知，作者和简通过发邮件、打电话来互动。故填By emailing and talking on their cell phones.
34．考查推理判断。根据最后一段“While it is important to be open with our friends, we should not over-share our negative feelings. (虽然对朋友敞开心扉很重要，但我们不应该过度分享我们的负面情绪。)”可知我们不应该过度分享我们的负面情绪而不是完全不表达，题干中express错误，应改为over-share。故填To keep a successful friendship, we should not express our negative feelings. Because we should not over-share our negative feelings rather than not express them at all.
35．开放回答题。根据题干要求结合自己实际情况作答即可。例如：是的，我更喜欢在网上和朋友保持联系。它很方便，让我们在繁忙的日程安排中保持联系。此外，这是一个很好的方式来分享更新和相互支持。故填Yes, I prefer to keep in touch with my friends online. It's convenient and allows us to stay connected despite busy schedules. Plus, it's a great way to share updates and support each other from afar.
36．A 37．C 38．E 39．F 40．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了高智商也会经历负面事件，甚至更容易有精神障碍。
36．根据上文“There are advantages to being smart.(聪明是有好处的)”与下文“The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.(研究人员对比了那些报告失调的人与全国平均水平的比例，发现门萨的高智商成员更有可能患有一系列严重的失调)”形成正反对比，上文讲述积极意义对高智商者有利，而下文的消极影响对于高智商者则是坏消息。所以A 选项Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.(现在有些坏消息要告诉那些聪明人)符合上下语境。故选A。
37．根据下文“This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person.(这可能包括任何事情，从惊人的声音到与他人发生冲突)”可知，本句应与an astonishing sound和conflict with another person有关。据此，C选项It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.(这是对环境威胁或虐待的异常强烈的反应)分别与an astonishing sound、conflict with another person相一致。故选C。
38．根据上文“A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent.(一个高智商的人可能会过度分析老板不赞成的评论，想象出一些不那么聪明的人不会想到的负面结果)”和“This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person.(这可能包括任何事情，从惊人的声音到与他人发生冲突)”可知，太多的负面结果会使人焦虑，且高智商人可能会与老板发生矛盾，因此更容易焦虑。E选项That may cause the body’s stress response, which may make the person even more anxious.(这可能会引起身体的应激反应，从而使人更加焦虑)与文意相符。故选E。
39．根据上文“Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder.(研究表明，智商高的人比普通人更容易患精神障碍，这并不能证明高智商是导致精神障碍的原因)”可知，高智商人更容易患精神障碍的原因可能不是高智商，而是其他原因。F选项It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.(也有可能加入门萨的人除了智商之外还有其他不同之处)符合文意。故选F。
40．根据上文“One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy , which occurs when a gene influences seemingly unrelated characteristics.(一种可能性是，智力和健康结果之间的关联反映了多效性，当一个基因影响看似不相关的基因时就会发生这种多效性特征)”和下文“In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors.(在罗莎琳德·阿登和她的同事们在2015年的一项研究中得出结论，智商与长寿之间的关联是不确定的主要是遗传因素造成的)”可知，上文讲的是一种结论，而后文则是一项实际研究的结果。B选项There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.(已经有一些证据表明这是事实)符合上下语境。故选B。
41．A 42．B 43．C 44．B 45．D 46．A 47．C 48．B 49．C 50．D 51．C 52．D 53．A 54．D 55．B

They believe real news matters a lot. 22% prefer diversity to meet various interests, while 8% enjoy interaction on the media.

I hugged her tightly and said, “You’ve done an amazing job, Emma.
