第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A solo getaway offers the best opportunity to immerse oneself in the authentic culture, history, and expression of a particular destination. With some planning and expert advice, your next solo journey can reach new heights.
A walk on the Wilde side in Dublin
There may be no better combination than a pint and a good book — and no better destination to engage yourself in literature than Oscar Wilde’s birthplace, Dublin, Ireland. Art and
cultural historian Dr. Andrew Lear suggests a hotel with historical significance. “I highly recommend The Shelbourne, where Oscar Wilde stayed on a speaking tour in Dublin.”
Big dreams fulfilled on Petit St. Vincent
If the idea of an all-inclusive resort sounds appealing but the crowds of guests not so much, consider the private island of Petit St. Vincent, located 40 miles south of St. Vincent. Getting there is an adventure, including a private flight from Barbados to Union Island and a boat transfer. The 115-acre island features one-and two-bedroom cottages dotted throughout the grounds where visitors can get lost in the sound of gentle waves.
Hygge hunting in Copenhagen
If “hygge” — the elusive Danish definition of well-being — is your idea of an ideal getaway, Copenhagen ranks high for its thoughtful design. Denmark’s capital is the best locale to spend an afternoon coffeehouse-hopping with a stack of design magazines.
Māori magic on New Zealand’s South Island
Solo travelers looking to connect with local cultures of New Zealand’s South Island have plenty of opportunities with Māori family-owned businesses like Whale Watch Kaikoura or a day with Te Rua & Sons Pounamu Tours to explore the West Coast and perhaps to find a pounamu keepsake, a jade-like stone indigenous to the region.
What’s Dr. Andrew Lear’s recommendation for literature fans
Staying at The Shelbourne Hotel.
Going to the cultural hub with art galleries.
Booking a helicopter ride to Franz Josef Glacier. D．Considering the private island of Petit St. Vincent.
How do travelers reach Petit St. Vincent from Barbados
A．Directly by boat. B．On a guided hike.
C．By boat after a private flight. D．Using the on-site dive center.
Which offers solo travelers opportunities to experience Māori culture
Dublin, Ireland. B．Petit St. Vincent.
C．Copenhagen, Denmark. D．New Zealand’s South Island.
B
I am someone who is outgoing, chatty and friendly. I can appreciate that at first glance I do
not appear to be any different from anyone else. Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的) ， that is entirely down to masking. The only reason I don’t “look like” the traits associated with autism (自闭症) is because I am often forcing myself to appear “normal”. Not all autistic people do this, but I do.
I smile whenever I want to bang my head against the wall and scream. I say, “Oh, that’s fine!” when a restaurant doesn’t have what I want, and the loss makes me feel like my skin is on fire. I force myself to make eye contact, laugh and focus on conversations. But sometimes I can’t maintain it. Sometimes, overwhelmed by unexpected impulses ( 冲动 ), my mask slips. How
somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view
of autistic people.
I assume that there is a lack of understanding. When people become annoyed that I cancel plans, or when I freak out (极度不安) when I experience new or strange sounds and tastes, they undoubtedly lack empathy. In these moments, I can see any acceptance of autistic people from
these kinds of people is for show. It is easy to say that you support autistic people; but if you are only supportive when that person presents as neurotypical, then that isn’t real support.
So, telling me that I “don’t look autistic” is more denial than it is a praise. Someone shouldn’t have to “look autistic” for you to believe they are autistic, nor should anyone receive more support just because they pass as neurotypical. We are all cupcakes, whether we look like it or not, and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.
Why doesn’t the author appear autistic
He feels comfortable with himself.
He has good people skills.
He tries to behave normally.
He is recovering from autism.
What does the author think about the way autistic people are treated
They are given a lot of support.
They deserve real care and concern.
They are taught to control their impulses.
They are supported like normal people.
How does the author feel when being told he doesn’t look autistic
Delighted. B．Surprised. C．Encouraged. D．Uncomfortable.
What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
To call for more understanding of autistic people.
To show his empathy for all those with autism.
To share his experience as someone with autism.
To remove misunderstandings about autistic people.

What Could the School of 2050 Look Like
Thanks to technology-driven advances in education, the school of 2050 may look different in many ways. For example, on entering the classroom, biometric scanning (生物识别扫描) will allow students to check in. Teachers will be able to gather attendance data automatically. For the
school of the future, there will be no need to deal with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds; we’ll have smart glass. Windows can automatically adjust their colors, protecting both our eyes and screens.
By 2050, 3D printers will have become a standard appliance, both in the home and at school. As a learning aid, they’ll have become crucial, allowing teachers more flexibility to explain difficult concepts.
Adaptive learning systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) will have become integrated into the school environment by 2050. Personalized learning experiences will take into account learning styles and create adaptive assessments that adjust in real time based on performance. AI may also be used to analyze pupils’ work, even so far as predicting future performance, helping teachers understand which students need more guidance on a particular concept before they fall behind.
Students will be able to get immediate feedback ( 反 馈 ), with suggested areas for
improvement and more personalized tutoring (辅导) based on their strengths and weaknesses. And homework assignments will mostly be online. From downloading the assignment at the end of the lesson to submitting it remotely, students will be able to view their coursework, see the percentage
completed, and track general assessments.
Gone will be the days of carrying heavy textbooks, and hurriedly putting them into lockers after lessons. Students of the future can look forward to having recommended reading materials
right at their fingertips via e-readers and tablet devices which can be operated through virtual reality. As a result, dependence on paper products will be reduced. Though paper won’t disappear completely, it’ll be eco-friendly, either recycled or made from fast-growing plants like bamboo.
How will students in 2050 sign in
A．With check-in sheets. B．By biometric scanning. C．With a teacher’s headcount. D．By messaging the teacher.
What is the main focus of paragraphs 3 and 4
A．AI’s impact on reducing school operational costs.
B．The role of AI in personalizing student learning paths.
C．The use of virtual reality in enhancing physical education.
D．The benefits of adaptive learning systems for student safety.
What can we learn about the future textbooks
They only use bamboo paper. B．They will remain paper-based.
C．Digital ones may replace them. D．All the students in the class only need one.
What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
To criticize traditional teaching methods.
To highlight the challenges faced by students.
To inform readers about the future of schools.
To promote the use of technology in education.
D
Hearing live music may be more stirring than listening to a recording of the same tune
because it causes greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions.
Sascha Fruhholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of conveying negative emotions, such sadness and anger. These were slower and less harmonious than the remaining songs, written to express positive emotions.
They then recruited (招募) 27 people, who weren’t musically trained, to listen to these 12
pieces twice — once performed by a live pianist, which the participants heard through a speaker, and once as a recording. The order they heard them was randomly assigned, with 30 seconds of silence in between. The participants had little idea when they were hearing a recording or live
music. While listening to the music, they lay in an MRI ( 核磁共振成像) scanner so the team could monitor their brain activity. The pianist adapted the volume and speed of the live piece according to their activity. But the recorded music was not adjusted.
The researchers found that live performances of both the negative and positive pieces consistently led to increased brain activity in the left amygdala (杏仁体) — the region of the brain that is strongly linked to assigning sensory stimuli, such as sounds, to certain emotions.
Meanwhile, the recorded tunes sparked much less activity in the left amygdala. This matched up with how emotive the participants rated each piece of music after the experiment. The findings show that live music intensifies our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing, dynamic nature, says Fruhholz.
The researchers hope to repeat the experiment with a larger audience in a concert setting. “If you go to a live concert, you’re not alone,” says Fruhholz. “This intensified emotional experience is also a social experience.”
What does the underlined word “stirring” mean in paragraph 1
Proper. B．Special. C．Calm. D．Exciting.
What do we know about 12 pieces of music
They lasted half a minute in total. B．Fruhholz recorded them in his own right. C．Not all of them conveyed positive emotions. D．Those conveying sad emotions were faster.
What can be inferred from the experiment
The participants heard the 12 pieces non-stop.
The recruited people were divided into 2 groups.
The team accordingly adjusted the music pieces.
The subjects’ brain activities in it were observed.
What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph
The importance of the left amygdala. B．The final findings of the research.
C．The following research directions. D．The underlying logic of the brain

阅读短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
First of all, we need to understand that handling interpersonal relationships is not as simple as
treating others to meals or giving gifts. In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. 36
The Mehrabian Principle
Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. 37 Whether your eyes are wandering or firm when you
speak, whether your gestures are fluttering or quiet, these subtle details that are easily ignored are the truth of interpersonal communication.
Non-verbal Communication
From the perspective of language psychology, a person’s speaking intonation, pitch, and speed will affect others’ understanding of his intentions. At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope. 38 Finally, it reached the peak in “Freedom
forever”. The reason why this speech moved the audience was not only relying on the words, but also on the passion and hope conveyed by the tone.
Emotional Capital
The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. 39 Treating others to meals can accumulate short-term
goodwill, but only long-term emotional investment can make interpersonal relationships as stable as bank deposits and play a role at critical moments.
Facial Expression Management
As the saying goes, “You don’t hit a person who smiles at you”. A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. 40 A face that often wears a smile will
make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth communication with you.
However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things, but in
the emotional transmission during communication.
When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic.
This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication.
Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships.
Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker.
Many people believe that material gifts are the most direct way to maintain relationships.
It is difficult to build trust with others if you always show a cold or unfriendly expression.

Ms. Eleanor, a senior lady, lives by herself in an urban area. She is a lady with a warm smile and is known for her fondness of bookshops and her habitual walks through the city’s historical region.
One evening, as she was heading back to her home from a park, Ms. Eleanor suddenly
realized that her purse was missing. She retraced her steps, searching every corner of the park. Her heart sank with each passing moment, as the purse contained a treasured photograph of her departed husband, which she carried as a precious treasure.
As the sun set, casting long shadows along the pavements, Ms. Eleanor felt an overwhelming sense of loss and hopelessness. In the meantime, a young man named Tom was walking home from her cherished job at the community library. As he passed by the bookshop which Ms. Eleanor had visited earlier that day, he spotted something nestled in the corner of the pavement. Interested, he picked it up and discovered it to be a well-worn leather purse. Tom opened the purse, seeking some identification to return it to its owner. It wasn’t long before he saw the cash and personal belongings inside. Recognizing the significance of what he held, he decided to wait at the spot where he found the purse, hoping that the owner would return to search for it.
As nightfall blanketed the city, Ms. Eleanor, with a heavy heart, headed back to her beloved bookshop to make her last attempt to get back her purse. Her pace was slow and weary, yet her determination was strong. As she drew near to the bookshop, she noticed a figure standing under a street lamp, hold something in his hands.
“Pardon me, young person. I was wondering if you happened to come across an old purse ” Ms. Eleanor inquired in a low tone The young man’s face brightened and he was about to hand the purse to the elderly lady. However, he hesitated slightly because he wasn’t entirely certain that the purse actually belonged to the elderly lady.

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Sensing the young man’s worry, Ms. Eleanor decided to confirm her ownership.

第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分 50 分）
第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 37.5 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A solo getaway offers the best opportunity to immerse oneself in the authentic culture, history, and expression of a particular destination. With some planning and expert advice, your next solo journey can reach new heights.
A walk on the Wilde side in Dublin
There may be no better combination than a pint and a good book — and no better destination to engage yourself in literature than Oscar Wilde’s birthplace, Dublin, Ireland. Art and cultural historian Dr. Andrew Lear suggests a hotel with historical significance. “I highly recommend The Shelbourne, where Oscar Wilde stayed on a speaking tour in Dublin.”
Big dreams fulfilled on Petit St. Vincent
If the idea of an all-inclusive resort sounds appealing but the crowds of guests not so much, consider the private island of Petit St. Vincent, located 40 miles south of St. Vincent. Getting there is an adventure, including a private flight from Barbados to Union Island and a boat transfer. The 115-acre island features one-and two-bedroom cottages dotted throughout the grounds where visitors can get lost in the sound of gentle waves.
Hygge hunting in Copenhagen
If “hygge” — the elusive Danish definition of well-being — is your idea of an ideal getaway, Copenhagen ranks high for its thoughtful design. Denmark’s capital is the best locale to spend an afternoon coffeehouse-hopping with a stack of design magazines.
Māori magic on New Zealand’s South Island
Solo travelers looking to connect with local cultures of New Zealand’s South Island have plenty of opportunities with Māori family-owned businesses like Whale Watch Kaikoura or a day with Te Rua & Sons Pounamu Tours to explore the West Coast and perhaps to find a pounamu keepsake, a jade-like stone indigenous to the region.
What’s Dr. Andrew Lear’s recommendation for literature fans
Staying at The Shelbourne Hotel.
Going to the cultural hub with art galleries.
Booking a helicopter ride to Franz Josef Glacier. D．Considering the private island of Petit St. Vincent.
How do travelers reach Petit St. Vincent from Barbados
A．Directly by boat. B．On a guided hike.
C．By boat after a private flight. D．Using the on-site dive center.
Which offers solo travelers opportunities to experience Māori culture

【答案】21．A 22．C 23．D
【导语】这是一篇应用文，文章推荐了适合个人旅游的四个目的地。
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Art and cultural historian Dr. Andrew Lear suggests a hotel with historical significance. ‘I highly recommend The Shelbourne, where Oscar Wilde stayed on a speaking tour in Dublin.’ (艺术和文化历史学家 Andrew Lear 博士建议选择一家具有历史意义的酒店。‘我强烈推荐 Shelbourne 酒店，Oscar Wilde 在都柏林巡回演讲时就住在那里。’)”可知，Andrew Lear 博士推荐文学迷住在 Shelbourne 酒店，故选 A。
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Getting there is an adventure, including a private flight from
Barbados to Union Island and a boat transfer. (到达那里是一次冒险，包括从 Barbados 到 Union Island 的私人航班和乘船接送。)”可知，游客可以乘坐私人航班然后坐船从 Barbados 到达Petit
St. Vincent，故选 C。
细节理解题。根据最后一段小标题“Māori magic on New Zealand’s South Island (在新西兰南岛的 Māori 的魔力)”和段落内容“Solo travelers looking to connect with local cultures of New Zealand’s South Island have plenty of opportunities with Māori family-owned businesses like
Whale Watch Kaikoura or a day with Te Rua & Sons Pounamu Tours to explore the West Coast and perhaps to find a pounamu keepsake, a jade-like stone indigenous to the region. (希望与新西兰南岛当地文化建立联系的独自旅行者有很多机会参加 Māori 家族企业，如凯库拉鲸鱼观察，或者与 Te Rua & Sons Pounamu Tours 一起探索西海岸，也许还能找到 Pounamu
纪念品，这是一种当地土生土长的玉石。)”可知，新西兰南岛为独自旅行的游客提供体验
Māori 文化的机会，故选 D。
B
I am someone who is outgoing, chatty and friendly. I can appreciate that at first glance I do not appear to be any different from anyone else. Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的) ， that is entirely down to masking. The only reason I don’t “look like” the traits associated with autism (自闭症) is because I am often forcing myself to appear “normal”. Not all autistic people do this, but I do.
I smile whenever I want to bang my head against the wall and scream. I say, “Oh, that’s fine!” when a restaurant doesn’t have what I want, and the loss makes me feel like my skin is on fire. I force myself to make eye contact, laugh and focus on conversations. But sometimes I can’t maintain it. Sometimes, overwhelmed by unexpected impulses ( 冲动 ), my mask slips. How
somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view
of autistic people.
I assume that there is a lack of understanding. When people become annoyed that I cancel plans, or when I freak out (极度不安) when I experience new or strange sounds and tastes, they undoubtedly lack empathy. In these moments, I can see any acceptance of autistic people from
these kinds of people is for show. It is easy to say that you support autistic people; but if you are only supportive when that person presents as neurotypical, then that isn’t real support.
So, telling me that I “don’t look autistic” is more denial than it is a praise. Someone shouldn’t have to “look autistic” for you to believe they are autistic, nor should anyone receive more support just because they pass as neurotypical. We are all cupcakes, whether we look like it
or not, and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.
Why doesn’t the author appear autistic
He feels comfortable with himself.
He has good people skills.
He tries to behave normally.
He is recovering from autism.
What does the author think about the way autistic people are treated
They are given a lot of support.
They deserve real care and concern.
They are taught to control their impulses.
They are supported like normal people.
How does the author feel when being told he doesn’t look autistic
Delighted. B．Surprised. C．Encouraged. D．Uncomfortable.
What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text
To call for more understanding of autistic people.
To show his empathy for all those with autism.
To share his experience as someone with autism.
To remove misunderstandings about autistic people.
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．D 27．A
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章。这篇文章主要讲述了作者作为一位自闭症人士，在社交中为了表现得“正常”而做出的努力和牺牲。文章强调，判断一个人是否是自闭症不应仅以其外表为依据，而是应给予所有人平等的关怀和支持。
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的)，that is entirely down to masking. The only reason I don’t “look like” the traits associated with autism (自闭症) is because I am often forcing myself to appear “normal”. (尽管我表现得像一个神经正常的人，这完全是因为我在掩饰。我之所以不显得有自闭症的特征，是因为我经常在强迫自己表现得“正常”。)”可知，作者看起来不像自闭症的原因是作者经常迫使自己表现得“正常”。故选 C。
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“In these moments, I can see any acceptance of autistic people from these kinds of people is for show. It is easy to say that you support autistic people; but
if you are only supportive when that person presents as neurotypical, then that isn’t real support.(在这些时刻，我可以看到这些人对自闭症患者的任何接受都是为了作秀。说你支持自闭症患者很容易；但如果你只是在那个人表现出神经正常的时候才给予支持，那就不是真正的支持。)”可知，作者认为这些人对自闭症患者的接受只是为了炫耀，只有当事人表现得
神经正常时才给予支持并不是真正的支持。因此，作者认为自闭症患者应该得到真正的关心
和关注。故选 B。
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“So, telling me that I “don’t look autistic” is more denial than it is a praise. (所以，告诉我“我看起来不像自闭症”与其说是一种赞美，不如说是一种否认。)”可知，当作者被告知自己“看起来不像自闭症”时，作者认为这是否定而非赞扬。因此，作者感到不舒服。故选 D。
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“ Even though I present myself as neuro typical (神经正常的)，that is entirely down to masking.(尽管我把自己表现得像个典型的正常人，但这完全是伪装的结果。)” 以及第二段中的“How somebody responds to me in those moments tells me everything I need to know about their view of autistic people.(人们在那些时刻对我的反应告诉了我所有我需要知道的关于他们对自闭症患者的看法。)”和第三段中的“I assume that there is a lack of understanding.( 我认为你们之间缺乏理解。)”以及最后一段中的“We are all cupcakes, whether we look like it or not, and are all equally deserving of empathy and support.( 我们都是纸杯蛋糕，不管我们看起来像不像，我们都同样值得同情和支持。)”可知，作者通过自身的经历和感受，希望人们对自闭症患者有更多的了解和理解。因此，本文的目的是呼吁更多理解自闭症患者。故选 A。
C
What Could the School of 2050 Look Like
Thanks to technology-driven advances in education, the school of 2050 may look different in many ways. For example, on entering the classroom, biometric scanning (生物识别扫描) will allow students to check in. Teachers will be able to gather attendance data automatically. For the
school of the future, there will be no need to deal with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds; we’ll have smart glass. Windows can automatically adjust their colors, protecting both our eyes and screens.
By 2050, 3D printers will have become a standard appliance, both in the home and at school. As a learning aid, they’ll have become crucial, allowing teachers more flexibility to
explain difficult concepts.
Adaptive learning systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) will have become integrated into the school environment by 2050. Personalized learning experiences will take into account learning styles and create adaptive assessments that adjust in real time based on performance. AI may also be used to analyze pupils’ work, even so far as predicting future performance, helping teachers understand which students need more guidance on a particular concept before they fall behind.
Students will be able to get immediate feedback ( 反 馈 ), with suggested areas for
improvement and more personalized tutoring (辅导) based on their strengths and weaknesses. And homework assignments will mostly be online. From downloading the assignment at the end of the lesson to submitting it remotely, students will be able to view their coursework, see the percentage
completed, and track general assessments.
Gone will be the days of carrying heavy textbooks, and hurriedly putting them into lockers after lessons. Students of the future can look forward to having recommended reading materials right at their fingertips via e-readers and tablet devices which can be operated through virtual reality. As a result, dependence on paper products will be reduced. Though paper won’t disappear completely, it’ll be eco-friendly, either recycled or made from fast-growing plants like bamboo.
How will students in 2050 sign in
A．With check-in sheets. B．By biometric scanning. C．With a teacher’s headcount. D．By messaging the teacher.
What is the main focus of paragraphs 3 and 4
A．AI’s impact on reducing school operational costs.
B．The role of AI in personalizing student learning paths.
C．The use of virtual reality in enhancing physical education.
D．The benefits of adaptive learning systems for student safety.
What can we learn about the future textbooks
They only use bamboo paper. B．They will remain paper-based.
C．Digital ones may replace them. D．All the students in the class only need one.
What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
To criticize traditional teaching methods.
To highlight the challenges faced by students.
To inform readers about the future of schools.
To promote the use of technology in education.

主旨大意题。根据第三段“Adaptive learning systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) will have become integrated into the school environment by 2050. Personalized learning experiences will take into account learning styles and create adaptive assessments that adjust in real time based on performance. (到 2050 年，由人工智能（AI）驱动的适应性学习系统将融入学校环境。个
性化的学习体验将考虑学习风格，并创建基于表现实时调整的适应性评估。)”以及第四段
“Students will be able to get immediate feedback (反馈) , with suggested areas for improvement and more personalized tutoring (辅导) based on their strengths and weaknesses. (学生将能够获得即时反馈，包括建议的改进领域以及根据他们的优势和劣势提供的更个性化的辅导。)”可知，两段均围绕 AI 在个性化学习路径中的作用展开。故选 B 项。
推理判断题。根据第五段“Gone will be the days of carrying heavy textbooks, and hurriedly putting them into lockers after lessons. Students of the future can look forward to having recommended reading materials right at their fingertips via e-readers and tablet devices which can be operated through virtual reality. (携带沉重课本以及课后匆匆将书本塞进储物柜的日子将一
去不复返。未来的学生可以期待通过虚拟现实操作的电子阅读器和平板设备，随时触手可及
地获取推荐阅读材料。)”可知，数字设备可能取代纸质教科书。故选 C 项。
推理判断题。通读全文可知，全文以“What Could the School of 2050 Look Like (2050 年的学校会是什么样子？)”为标题，从生物识别、3D 打印、AI 学习系统、电子教材等方面描绘未来学校的模样，核心是“告知读者未来学校的蓝图”。故选 C 项。
D
Hearing live music may be more stirring than listening to a recording of the same tune
because it causes greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions.
Sascha Fruhholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of conveying negative emotions, such sadness and anger. These were slower and less harmonious than the remaining songs, written to express positive emotions.
They then recruited (招募) 27 people, who weren’t musically trained, to listen to these 12
pieces twice — once performed by a live pianist, which the participants heard through a speaker, and once as a recording. The order they heard them was randomly assigned, with 30 seconds of silence in between. The participants had little idea when they were hearing a recording or live music. While listening to the music, they lay in an MRI ( 核磁共振成像) scanner so the team
could monitor their brain activity. The pianist adapted the volume and speed of the live piece
according to their activity. But the recorded music was not adjusted.
The researchers found that live performances of both the negative and positive pieces consistently led to increased brain activity in the left amygdala (杏仁体) — the region of the brain that is strongly linked to assigning sensory stimuli, such as sounds, to certain emotions.
Meanwhile, the recorded tunes sparked much less activity in the left amygdala. This matched up with how emotive the participants rated each piece of music after the experiment. The findings show that live music intensifies our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing, dynamic nature, says Fruhholz.
The researchers hope to repeat the experiment with a larger audience in a concert setting. “If you go to a live concert, you’re not alone,” says Fruhholz. “This intensified emotional experience is also a social experience.”
What does the underlined word “stirring” mean in paragraph 1
Proper. B．Special. C．Calm. D．Exciting.
What do we know about 12 pieces of music
They lasted half a minute in total. B．Fruhholz recorded them in his own right. C．Not all of them conveyed positive emotions. D．Those conveying sad emotions were faster.
What can be inferred from the experiment
The participants heard the 12 pieces non-stop.B．The recruited people were divided into 2 groups.
C．The team accordingly adjusted the music pieces. D．The subjects’ brain activities in it were observed.
What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph
The importance of the left amygdala. B．The final findings of the research. C．The following research directions. D．The underlying logic of the brain
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．D 35．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文，研究表明，听现场音乐可能比听同一曲调的录音更激动人心。 32．词句猜测题。根据划线词后“because it causes greater activity in the part of the brain linked to processing emotions.(因为它会使大脑中与情绪处理有关的部分更活跃)”可知，现场音乐会使 大脑中与情绪处理有关的部分更活跃，故听现场音乐可能比听同一曲调的录音更激动人心， stirring 意为“令人激动的”，故选 D。
细节理解题。根据第二段“Sascha Fruhholz at the University of Zurich in Switzerland and his colleagues composed 12 pieces of music, each lasting 30 seconds. Half were written with the aim of conveying negative emotions, such sadness and anger. These were slower and less harmonious than the remaining songs, written to express positive emotions.( 瑞士苏黎世大学的 Sascha
Fruhholz 和他的同事们创作了 12 首乐曲，每首乐曲持续 30 秒。其中一半是为了表达消极情
绪而写的，比如悲伤和愤怒。这些歌曲比其余的歌曲更慢，更不和谐，这些歌曲是为了表达积极的情绪而写的)”可知，这 12 首乐曲一半是表达消极情绪，其余的是表达积极情绪，并非所有的都表达积极的情绪。故选 C。
推理判断题。根据第三段中国“While listening to the music, they lay in an MRI (核磁共振成像) scanner so the team could monitor their brain activity. The pianist adapted the volume and speed of the live piece according to their activity.(在听音乐的同时，他们躺在核磁共振扫描仪中，这样研究小组就可以监测他们的大脑活动。钢琴家根据他们的活动调整了现场演奏曲目的音量和速度)”可知，研究小组监测实验对象的大脑活动，钢琴家根据他们的活动调整了现场演奏曲目的音量和速度，由此推知在实验中实验对象的大脑活动被观察，故选 D。
主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段内容，尤其是首句中“The researchers found that…(研究人员发现……)” 和末句“The findings show that live music intensifies our emotional response, probably due to its free-flowing, dynamic nature, says Fruhholz.(研究结果表明，现场音乐会增强我们的情绪反应，这可能是由于其自由流动、动态的性质，Fruhholz 说)”可知，本段主要讲研究结果，故选 B。
第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分）
阅读短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
First of all, we need to understand that handling interpersonal relationships is not as simple as treating others to meals or giving gifts. In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. 36
The Mehrabian Principle
Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. 37 Whether your eyes are wandering or firm when you
speak, whether your gestures are fluttering or quiet, these subtle details that are easily ignored are the truth of interpersonal communication.
Non-verbal Communication
From the perspective of language psychology, a person’s speaking intonation, pitch, and speed will affect others’ understanding of his intentions. At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope. 38 Finally, it reached the peak in “Freedom
forever”. The reason why this speech moved the audience was not only relying on the words, but also on the passion and hope conveyed by the tone.
Emotional Capital
The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. 39 Treating others to meals can accumulate short-term
goodwill, but only long-term emotional investment can make interpersonal relationships as stable as bank deposits and play a role at critical moments.
Facial Expression Management
As the saying goes, “You don’t hit a person who smiles at you”. A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. 40 A face that often wears a smile will
make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth
communication with you.
However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things, but in the emotional transmission during communication.
When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic.
This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication.
Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships.
Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker.
Many people believe that material gifts are the most direct way to maintain relationships.
It is difficult to build trust with others if you always show a cold or unfriendly expression.
【答案】36．A 37．C 38．B 39．D 40．E
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文围绕人际交往展开，介绍梅拉比安法则，强调非语言沟通、情感资本及表情管理的重要性。
由上文“In today’s era, everyone seems to carry an invisible list of treating and gifting, from dinner parties to wedding banquets, from Mid-Autumn mooncakes to Spring Festival red envelopes, which all seem to be tightly wrapped in the “human relationship culture”. (在当今时代，从晚宴到婚宴，从中秋月饼到春节红包，每个人似乎都带着一张看不见的送礼清单，这些似 乎都被“人际关系文化”紧紧包裹着。)”可知，前文描述了人际关系中物质往来的现象，空格
处需转折引出真正的关键。A 项 However, in fact, the key to interpersonal communication does
not lie in material things, but in the emotional transmission during communication. (然而，事实上，人际交往的关键并不在于物质，而在于沟通中的情感传递。)符合语境，“However”承接前文的物质现象，“the key to interpersonal communication does not lie in material things”点明核心在于情感传递，与前文形成对比。故选 A 项。
由上文“Psychologist Albert Mehrabian put forward a very interesting formula, which reveals the importance of the three major elements in communication: the content of words accounts for only 7%, the tone of voice accounts for 38%, and a high 55% of the information actually comes from non-verbal body language. (心理学家 Albert Mehrabian 提出了一个非常有趣的公式，揭
示了沟通中三大要素的重要性：语言的内容仅占 7%，语调占 38%，55%的信息实际上来自
非言语肢体语言。)”可知，数据突出了非语言信号的重要性。C 项 This means that non-verbal signals are far more influential than the words themselves in communication. (这意味着在沟通中，非语言信号比语言本身更具影响力。)是对前文数据的总结，“This means”呼应前文的公式结论，“non-verbal signals are far more influential”直接体现数据所揭示的规律。故选 C 项。
由上文“At the beginning of Martin Luther King’s speech, his tone was calm and low, with analysis and contemplation, telling the facts of racial inequality and gradually introducing hope.
(马丁 路德 金演讲伊始，语调平静低沉，带着分析与沉思，讲述种族不平等的事实，并逐渐引入希望。)”可知，前文描述了演讲开始时的语调，空格处应延续对演讲过程中语调变
化的描述。B 项 When he said “I have a dream”, his tone rose, full of passion and expectation, and his voice became more powerful and rhythmic. (当他说出“我有一个梦想”时，语调上扬，充满激情与期待，声音也变得更有力、更有节奏。)符合语境，“When he said “I have a dream””具体描述演讲中的关键部分，“tone rose”与前文“tone was calm and low”形成对比，体现语调变化。故选 B 项。
由上文“The “emotional capital” in sociology can help us understand the role of the Mehrabian Principle in interpersonal relationships. (社会学中的“情感资本”有助于我们理解梅拉比安法则在人际关系中的作用。)”可知，前文引出“情感资本”这一概念，空格处应解释其含义。D 项 Emotional capital is a relational asset accumulated through emotional interaction, which creates trust in long-term relationships. (情感资本是通过情感互动积累的关系资产，它在长期关系中
建立信任。)符合语境，直接对“emotional capital”下定义，“accumulated through emotional
interaction”和“creates trust”解释了其本质与作用，承接前文对概念的引入。故选 D 项。 40．由上文“A sincere smile can instantly shorten the distance between people. (真诚的微笑能瞬间拉近人与人之间的距离。)”和下文“A face that often wears a smile will make people feel that you are friendly and approachable, and they are willing to have in-depth communication with you. (一张经常面带微笑的脸会让人觉得你很友好，平易近人，他们愿意和你进行深入的交
流。)”可知，上下文均围绕“微笑”的作用展开，空格处应进一步说明微笑在不同场景中的作
用。E 项 Whether it’s a workplace meeting or a social gathering, a smile is always the best icebreaker. ( 无论是职场会议还是社交聚会， 微笑都是最好的破冰方式。) 符合语境， “Whether...or...”列举不同场景，“best icebreaker”呼应前文“shorten the distance”和后文“friendly and approachable”，强调微笑的普遍作用。故选 E 项。

Ever since my daughter Gabi was just a young child, she has been curious about the world around her, always ready to ask “why” and “how” questions. I thought it could be fun to talk to my daughter about female scientists. I discovered there was a scientist, Ada Lovelace. She had a love for mathematics and a belief that computers can be used to finish many tasks humans do. I told Gabi about Lovelace's contributions to the field and the impact she had on me as a scientist and mathematician.
Today, computers are such an essential part of our daily lives; we can’t imagine living without them. The idea that computers can go beyond just calculating numbers and perform any
abstract operation is the phenomenon of our technology. However, not everyone knows that this idea dates back to long before the first programmable, general-purpose digital computer was introduced in the 1940s. This concept goes back to the 1800s, thanks to Loveluce, a pioneer in mathematics and computing, who was recognized as the first computer programmer.
Lovelace also held her belief that while computers had endless potential, they could not be truly intelligent. She argued that AI can’t create anything original without learning from human input. This is still true today as AI becomes increasingly common in our everyday lives. While ChatGPT and similar AI tools may seem to have a “mind” of their own, those tools are simply parroting human-generated content on the internet.
Lovelace was an incredibly intelligent woman, who contributed so much to mathematics and computer science. Her enthusiasm and determination led her to look further and search deeper. I hope Loyelace will inspire my daughter and other young girls to consider following in her footsteps.
What can be learned about Gabi
She has great admiration for Lovelace.
She has a dream of becoming a scientist.
She shows strong curiosity about the world.
She believes computers are as smart as humans.
What does the author stress in paragraph 2
The invention of computers. B．Lovelace’s contribution to science. C．The development of technology. D．Lovelace’s education background.
What does the underlined word “parroting” in paragraph 3 mean
Repeating. B．Creating. C．Appreciating. D．Imagining.
What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
To show her interest in science. B．To explain the significance of computers. C．To provide an example for girls to follow. D．To demonstrate the disadvantage of computers.
C
Some people are like human compasses, magically navigating city streets to arrive at front
doors hidden in back alleys （ 巷子). They can step out of an underground subway station and immediately know which way to walk. However, others are upset without maps. When the power goes out, these people wander blindly, stopping to ask for directions left and right. It’s
embarrassing when you can’t find your way, but it may not be your fault.
Blame your hometown, says a recent paper in Nature. According to researchers, people whose childhood environments demanded more intelligent spatial navigation, unsurprisingly, are better at it as adults. Specifically, those who grew up in cities with grid-like (网格状的) patterns are less skilled than those who grew up in the country and had to find their house by driving past
the first three forks in the road, turning right at the hay bale, and then left at the second big rock.
Researchers came to this conclusion by studying players of the mobile game Sea Hero Quest, which was designed as a data feeder for understanding dementia ( 痴呆) , which attacks people’s navigation skills. The game’s plot requires players to voyage across virtual seas to locate hidden destinations, putting way-finding to the test along the way.
As it turns out, for the nearly 400,000 players across 38 countries surveyed, performance appeared to be influenced by their hometown, even after researchers controlled for confounding factors of age, education and gender. Hometowns were ranked by entropy（熵）of street networks, where rural villages with random, disordered layouts have higher entropy. People coming from
grid-layout cities — like New York or Chicago — were worse at the way-finding task, while people from cities with organic and less orderly layouts — like Prague — performed almost as well as those from rural areas.
But if you’re, say, a New Yorker from birth, you can still be a “city hero”. A metropolitan version of Sea Hero Quest called City Hero Quest has been developed to train and assist you.
How does the author develop paragraph 1
By doing a contrast.
By listing an example.
By conducting a research.
By explaining a phenomenon.
What can you learn about people brought up in rural area
They are more intelligent at maps.
Their skill to locate the route is poor.
They tend to have superior capability of navigation.
Their nursery surroundings require less spatial navigation.
Who might perform best in Sea Hero Quest
A．A New Yorker from birth.
B．A policeman from Chicago.
C．A tour guide from ordered layout area.
D．A male student from random layout area.
What is the main idea of the passage
The surroundings you live in really counts. B．Living style differs in urban and rural areas. C．Mobile games develop your navigation skills. D．Hometowns might decide your navigation skills.
D
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there, or been about to speak but suddenly realized you had no idea what you were going to say The human brain normally balances countless inputs, thoughts and actions, but sometimes, it seems to short-circuit (短路). So what really happens
Understanding why we forget first requires us to tear down the myth about memory. “It is
generally believed that memory is just one thing,” said Susanne Jaeggi, a professor of psychology. “Indeed, there are very different components of memory, and they’re also related to different cognitive (认知的) processes.”
There are two different types of memory: long-term and working memory. The former is a
broad category of memories that involve experience and skills stored in the brain for extended periods. On the other hand, thoughts in working memory are only present for a brief period.
“Working memory is like the sketchpad ( 速写本) of conscious thought,” said Earl K.
Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT. “Every piece of new information, inner dialogue and sensory input is routed through working memory and certain characteristics of working memory explain why we forget those thoughts.”
First, psychologists estimate that people can hold only about four to seven “chunks” (块) of
information — such as letters, digits, words or phrases — in their working memory at a time.
Rather than being aware of all of these “chunks” all at once, the brain bounces around from one idea to another, making it more likely to forget one.
Second, the brain quickly wipes out unimportant things from working memory to make room for new information. So unless those short-term memories are transferred into long-term memories (a process called consolidation), they’ll soon disappear.
But for those who regularly struggle with thoughts slipping their mind, Jaeggi and Miller have some words to say. In the first place, Miller says multitasking makes forgetting more likely. Jaeggi mentions if you walk into a room and forget why you went in there, go back into the room you were before. The context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and bring back the thought that’s already gone.
What can be learnt about human brains from paragraph 1
They can become easily overloaded.
They experience occasional memory slips.
They are sensitive to a short circuit condition.
They frequently switch between different tasks.
What role does working memory serve as according to Earl K. Miller
A．A strategy for making multitasking brains.
B．A place for recording experience and skills.
C．A short-term space for processing information.
D．A tool for increasing the amount of sensory input.
What is Jaeggi’s suggestion for recovering a lost thought
Setting a reminder ahead of time. B．Centering on the new task at hand. C．Returning to the previous context. D．Visualizing the thought in your mind.
What is a suitable title for the text
The Secret of Memory Loss B．Cognitive Processes in Learning C．Multitasking’s Impact on Memory D．The Importance of Working Memory

阅读短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 36 Here are four more.
Ignore the context
37 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally
different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired.
Find meaning in a single gesture
People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached.
38 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your
body language as resistant and unapproachable.
Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)
A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 39
Compare your behavior with their culture
Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 40 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.
Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.
Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.
What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.
In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.
What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another. F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones. G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.

to 41 people — especially children — not to ask too many questions. Yet it’s widely
agreed that 42 actually makes learning more enjoyable and effective. 43 , research
has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in 44 how well students do in
school.
Curiosity also 45 us to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, brings excitement into
our lives, and opens up new possibilities. Being curious requires us to be both humble enough to know we don’t have all the answers, and brave enough to 46 it. Asking the questions that
help us 47 the gap between what we already know and what we’d like to know can lead us
to make unexpected discoveries.
In science, basic curiosity-driven research — conducted without pressure to produce immediate practical results — can have 48 and incredibly important benefits. 49 ,
one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil ( 线圈) and a magnet ( 磁铁)
50 he suddenly saw how he could generate an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what
use this would have, but it actually made 51 available for use in technology, and so
changed the world.
Unsurprisingly, there are chemical and evolutionary theories to 52 why humans are
such curious creatures. When we become curious, our brains 53 a chemical called
dopamine (多巴胺), which makes the process of learning more pleasurable and improves memory. It is still not known why learning gives us such 54 , but one theory is that we may have
developed a basic need to fight uncertainty — the more we understand about the world around us,
the more 55 we are to survive its many dangers!

Dave and Ben decided to go camping at the foot of a mountain on a sunny Sunday. They were excited about the adventure and packed their tents, sleeping bags, clothes, drinks and some food. Dave was an experienced camper, always well-prepared for any situation that might arise during his outdoor adventures. So he put a torch, a whistle and a compass in his bag.
They began their great adventure early in the morning. After a long walk, they arrived at the campsite which was at the foot of a beautiful mountain. The sky was clear, and the river beside their campsite flowed gently. They set up their tents and spent the afternoon exploring the area around the mountain.
As the evening approached, the sky started to cloud over. Suddenly, it began to rain heavily. The rain hit the tents with a loud noise, and the river began to rise rapidly. Dave and Ben were a bit worried but thought it would pass soon. However, the situation got worse. The heavy rain continued, and the river flooded. Their campsite was quickly flooded by the river, and in the chaos, both of them quickly grabbed their bags and rushed out of the tents. Then they got separated and lost their way.
Ben was in a panic. He had tried to follow the direction of the river, thinking it might lead him to a familiar area. But the flood had changed the landscape, and he completely lost his way. He kept calling out for Dave, fear and desperation flooding over him.
Meanwhile, Dave was scared but tried to stay calm. He looked around for any signs of Ben or a way out. The surrounding area was now a muddy mess, and the water was still rising. He shouted for Ben but there was no reply. He decided to move higher up the mountain, hoping to find a safer place and maybe a better view to look for Ben. As Dave climbed higher, he finally found a small cave that was relatively dry.
He sat down on the ground to catch his breath, thinking about what to do next.
At that moment, Dave heard some footsteps in the distance.

Ever since my daughter Gabi was just a young child, she has been curious about the world around her, always ready to ask “why” and “how” questions. I thought it could be fun to talk to
my daughter about female scientists. I discovered there was a scientist, Ada Lovelace. She had a
love for mathematics and a belief that computers can be used to finish many tasks humans do. I told Gabi about Lovelace's contributions to the field and the impact she had on me as a scientist and mathematician.
Today, computers are such an essential part of our daily lives; we can’t imagine living without them. The idea that computers can go beyond just calculating numbers and perform any abstract operation is the phenomenon of our technology. However, not everyone knows that this idea dates back to long before the first programmable, general-purpose digital computer was introduced in the 1940s. This concept goes back to the 1800s, thanks to Loveluce, a pioneer in mathematics and computing, who was recognized as the first computer programmer.
Lovelace also held her belief that while computers had endless potential, they could not be truly intelligent. She argued that AI can’t create anything original without learning from human input. This is still true today as AI becomes increasingly common in our everyday lives. While ChatGPT and similar AI tools may seem to have a “mind” of their own, those tools are simply parroting human-generated content on the internet.
Lovelace was an incredibly intelligent woman, who contributed so much to mathematics and computer science. Her enthusiasm and determination led her to look further and search deeper. I hope Loyelace will inspire my daughter and other young girls to consider following in her footsteps.
What can be learned about Gabi
She has great admiration for Lovelace.
She has a dream of becoming a scientist.
She shows strong curiosity about the world.
She believes computers are as smart as humans.
What does the author stress in paragraph 2
The invention of computers. B．Lovelace’s contribution to science. C．The development of technology. D．Lovelace’s education background.
What does the underlined word “parroting” in paragraph 3 mean
Repeating. B．Creating. C．Appreciating. D．Imagining.
What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text
To show her interest in science. B．To explain the significance of computers.
C．To provide an example for girls to follow. D．To demonstrate the disadvantage of computers.
【答案】24．C 25．B 26．A 27．C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与女儿 Gabi 谈论女科学家 Ada Lovelace 的故事，介绍了 Lovelace 对科学的贡献及其对后代的启发。
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Ever since my daughter Gabi was just a young child, she has been curious about the world around her, always ready to ask “why” and “how” questions. I thought it could be fun to talk to my daughter about female scientists.(自从我的女儿 Gabi 还是个 孩子时，她就对周围的世界充满了好奇，总是准备好问‘为什么’和‘如何’这样的问题)”可知， Gabi 对世界充满了强烈的好奇心。故选 C。
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“However, not everyone knows that this idea dates back to long
before the first programmable, general-purpose digital computer was introduced in the 1940s. This concept goes back to the 1800s, thanks to Loveluce, a pioneer in mathematics and computing, who was recognized as the first computer programmer.(然而，并不是每个人都知道，这个想法可以
追溯到 20 世纪 40 年代第一台可编程的通用数字计算机问世之前很久。这个概念可以追溯到
19 世纪，多亏了 Loveluce，数学和计算的先驱，她被认为是第一个计算机程序员)”可推知，此段强调了 Lovelace 对科学的贡献。故选 B。
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段的“Lovelace also held her belief that while computers had endless potential, they could not be truly intelligent. She argued that AI can’t create anything original without learning from human input (洛夫莱斯还认为，虽然计算机有无限的潜力，但它们不可能真正智能。她认为，如果不从人类输入中学习，人工智能就无法创造出任何原创的东西)”可知，洛夫莱斯认为计算机不可能真正智能，不从人类输入中学习就无法创造出任何
原创的东西；结合划线词所在句中的让步状语从句“While ChatGPT and similar AI tools may
seem to have a “mind” of their own(虽然ChatGPT 和类似的人工智能工具似乎有自己的‘思想’)”
可知，“those tools are simply parroting human-generated content on the internet(这些工具只是在
互联网上 parroting 人类生成的内容)”表达的意思是“这些工具只是重复人类生成的内容”，即
这些内容不是这些工具原创的，划线词“parroting”的意思是“重复”，与 repeating 同义。故选 A。
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“I hope Loyelace will inspire my daughter and other young girls to consider following in her footsteps.(我希望Lovelace 能够激励我的女儿和其他年轻女孩 考虑追随她的脚步)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是为了提供一个女孩们可以效仿的榜样。故选 C。
C
Some people are like human compasses, magically navigating city streets to arrive at front doors hidden in back alleys （ 巷子). They can step out of an underground subway station and immediately know which way to walk. However, others are upset without maps. When the power
goes out, these people wander blindly, stopping to ask for directions left and right. It’s embarrassing when you can’t find your way, but it may not be your fault.
Blame your hometown, says a recent paper in Nature. According to researchers, people whose childhood environments demanded more intelligent spatial navigation, unsurprisingly, are better at it as adults. Specifically, those who grew up in cities with grid-like (网格状的) patterns are less skilled than those who grew up in the country and had to find their house by driving past
the first three forks in the road, turning right at the hay bale, and then left at the second big rock.
Researchers came to this conclusion by studying players of the mobile game Sea Hero Quest, which was designed as a data feeder for understanding dementia ( 痴呆) , which attacks people’s navigation skills. The game’s plot requires players to voyage across virtual seas to locate hidden destinations, putting way-finding to the test along the way.
As it turns out, for the nearly 400,000 players across 38 countries surveyed, performance appeared to be influenced by their hometown, even after researchers controlled for confounding factors of age, education and gender. Hometowns were ranked by entropy（熵）of street networks, where rural villages with random, disordered layouts have higher entropy. People coming from
grid-layout cities — like New York or Chicago — were worse at the way-finding task, while people from cities with organic and less orderly layouts — like Prague — performed almost as well as those from rural areas.
But if you’re, say, a New Yorker from birth, you can still be a “city hero”. A metropolitan version of Sea Hero Quest called City Hero Quest has been developed to train and assist you.
How does the author develop paragraph 1
By doing a contrast.
By listing an example.
By conducting a research.
By explaining a phenomenon.
What can you learn about people brought up in rural area
They are more intelligent at maps.
Their skill to locate the route is poor.
They tend to have superior capability of navigation.
Their nursery surroundings require less spatial navigation.
Who might perform best in Sea Hero Quest
A．A New Yorker from birth.
B．A policeman from Chicago.
C．A tour guide from ordered layout area.
D．A male student from random layout area.
What is the main idea of the passage
The surroundings you live in really counts. B．Living style differs in urban and rural areas. C．Mobile games develop your navigation skills. D．Hometowns might decide your navigation skills.
【答案】28．A 29．C 30．D 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项研究发现，人们的导航能力可能受童年成长环境影响，在街道布局无序的乡村或城市环境中长大的人，成年后的导航能力可能更强，同时还提到有相关游戏可用于训练导航能力。
推理判断题。根据第一段“Some people are like human compasses, magically navigating city streets to arrive at front doors hidden in back alleys(有些人就像人体指南针，能神奇地在城市街道中找到隐藏在小巷里的前门)”以及“However, others are upset without maps. When the power goes out, these people wander blindly, stopping to ask for directions left and right.(然而，另一些人没有地图就会心烦意乱。停电时，这些人盲目地徘徊，四处问路)”可知，通过将两类人在导航方面的不同表现进行对比，展开第一段内容。故选 A 项。
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Specifically, those who grew up in cities with grid - like (网
格状的) patterns are less skilled than those who grew up in the country and had to find their house by driving past the first three forks in the road, turning right at the hay bale, and then left at the second big rock.(具体来说，那些在网格状城市中长大的人，比那些在乡村长大，需要开车经过前三个岔路口，在干草堆处右转，然后在第二块大石头处左转才能找到家的人，导航技能要差)”可知，在农村长大的人往往具有更强的导航能力。故选 C 项。
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“People coming from grid - layout cities — like New York or
Chicago — were worse at the way - finding task, while people from cities with organic and less orderly layouts — like Prague — performed almost as well as those from rural areas.(来自像纽约或芝加哥这样网格布局城市的人，在寻路任务中表现较差，而来自像布拉格这样布局自然且不太有序城市的人，表现几乎和来自农村地区的人一样好)”可知，来自布局无序地区的人在
《海洋英雄探索》游戏中可能表现更好。D 选项 “来自布局随机地区的男学生”，符合来自
布局无序地区，可能表现最佳。故选 D 项。
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Blame your hometown, says a recent paper in Nature.(《自然》杂志最近发表的一篇论文称，这得归咎于你的家乡)”可知，主要介绍一项研究发现，人们的导航能力可能受童年成长环境影响，在街道布局无序的乡村或城市环境中长大的人，成年后的导航能力可能更强，同时还提到有相关游戏可用于训练导航能力。D 选项“家乡可能决定你的导航能力”能准确概括文章主旨。故选 D 项。

Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there, or been about to speak but suddenly realized you had no idea what you were going to say The human brain normally balances countless inputs, thoughts and actions, but sometimes, it seems to short-circuit (短路). So what really happens
Understanding why we forget first requires us to tear down the myth about memory. “It is
generally believed that memory is just one thing,” said Susanne Jaeggi, a professor of psychology. “Indeed, there are very different components of memory, and they’re also related to different cognitive (认知的) processes.”
There are two different types of memory: long-term and working memory. The former is a
broad category of memories that involve experience and skills stored in the brain for extended periods. On the other hand, thoughts in working memory are only present for a brief period.
“Working memory is like the sketchpad ( 速写本) of conscious thought,” said Earl K.
Miller, a professor of neuroscience at MIT. “Every piece of new information, inner dialogue and sensory input is routed through working memory and certain characteristics of working memory explain why we forget those thoughts.”
First, psychologists estimate that people can hold only about four to seven “chunks” (块) of
information — such as letters, digits, words or phrases — in their working memory at a time. Rather than being aware of all of these “chunks” all at once, the brain bounces around from one idea to another, making it more likely to forget one.
Second, the brain quickly wipes out unimportant things from working memory to make room for new information. So unless those short-term memories are transferred into long-term memories (a process called consolidation), they’ll soon disappear.
But for those who regularly struggle with thoughts slipping their mind, Jaeggi and Miller have some words to say. In the first place, Miller says multitasking makes forgetting more likely. Jaeggi mentions if you walk into a room and forget why you went in there, go back into the room you were before. The context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and bring back the thought that’s already gone.
What can be learnt about human brains from paragraph 1
They can become easily overloaded.
They experience occasional memory slips.
They are sensitive to a short circuit condition.
They frequently switch between different tasks.
What role does working memory serve as according to Earl K. Miller
A．A strategy for making multitasking brains.
B．A place for recording experience and skills.
C．A short-term space for processing information.
D．A tool for increasing the amount of sensory input.
What is Jaeggi’s suggestion for recovering a lost thought
Setting a reminder ahead of time. B．Centering on the new task at hand. C．Returning to the previous context.
D．Visualizing the thought in your mind.
What is a suitable title for the text
The Secret of Memory Loss B．Cognitive Processes in Learning C．Multitasking’s Impact on Memory D．The Importance of Working Memory
【答案】32．B 33．C 34．C 35．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人类记忆的类型及人类为什么会忘记一些事情。 32．推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there, or been about to speak but suddenly realized you had no idea what you were going to say
The human brain normally balances countless inputs, thoughts and actions, but sometimes, it seems to short-circuit (短路). (你有没有走进一个房间却忘了为什么要去那里，或者正要说话却突然意识到自己不知道该说什么？人类的大脑通常能平衡无数的输入、想法和行动，但有时，它似乎会“短路”)”可推知，人类的大脑有时会经历偶尔的记忆失误。故选 B 项。
细节理解题。根据第四段“‘Working memory is like the sketchpad (速写本) of conscious
thought,’ said Earl K. Miller. a professor of neuroscience at MIT ‘Every piece of new information, inner dialogue and sensory input is routed through working memory and certain characteristics of working memory explain why we forget those thoughts.’ (麻省理工学院神经科学教授厄尔 K
米勒说：“工作记忆就像意识思想的速写本。每一条新的信息、内心对话和感官输入都是通
过工作记忆进行传递的，工作记忆的某些特性解释了为什么我们会忘记那些想法。”)”可知，每一条新的信息、内心对话和感官输入都是通过工作记忆进行传递的，即工作记忆是处理信 息的短期空间。故选 C 项。
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Jaeggi mentions if you walk into a room and forget why you went in there, go back into the room you were before. The context clues might give the brain the extra boost it needs to reach back a few seconds in working memory and bring back the thought that’s already gone. (Jaeggi 提到，如果你走进一个房间却忘了为什么要去那里，就回到你之
前的房间。上下文线索可能会给大脑额外的动力，让它在工作记忆中回溯几秒钟，找回已经
消失的想法) ”可知，Jaeggi 对于恢复失去的想法的建议是回到之前的语境中。故选 C 项。 35．主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten why you went there, or been about to speak but suddenly realized you had no idea what you were going
to say The human brain normally balances countless inputs, thoughts and actions, but sometimes, it seems to short-circuit (短路). So what really happens (你有没有走进一个房间却忘了为什么要去那里，或者正要说话却突然意识到自己不知道该说什么？人类的大脑通常能平衡无数的输入、想法和行动，但有时，它似乎会“短路”。那么，到底发生了什么？)”及全文内容可知，
本文主要探讨了人类大脑记忆偶尔失误的现象，解释了记忆的不同成分及其与认知过程的关
系，特别是工作记忆的特点和导致忘记的原因，并给出了一些建议。由此可知，A 选项“The Secret of Memory Loss(记忆丧失的秘密)”最符合文章主旨。故选 A 项。
第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 12. 5 分）
阅读短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood. 36 Here are four more.
Ignore the context
37 Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally
different meanings. People can’t really understand someone’s nonverbal message unless they understand the circumstances behind it. If you yawn in a staff meeting because you were up early for an international business call —let people know why you’re tired.
Find meaning in a single gesture
People often try to evaluate your state of mind by monitoring your body language. But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached.
38 So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your
body language as resistant and unapproachable.
Evaluate you through the biases (偏见)
A neighbour likes me from the moment we met. Before long. I know it’s because I resemble her favorite aunt. That’s how biases can work —the so-called “halo effect.” But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. 39
Compare your behavior with their culture
Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others. 40 For instance, people’s greetings, hand gestures etc. vary with cultures.
Therefore, there are many mistakes people make when reading your body language. Under-standing them, and trying not to make the same mistakes, will help you display nonverbal ability.
Nonverbal signals are very common in our daily life.
They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.
What they didn’t realize was that, for this individual, it was a normal behavior.
In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.
What’s proper and correct in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in another. F．Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones. G．Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.
【答案】36．D 37．G 38．F 39．B 40．E
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。 介绍了人们可能会对别人的肢体语言产生误解的几种常见的情况及原因。
根据上文“When meeting someone for the first time, who won’t know you habitually frown if you’re concentrating, you will be misunderstood.(当你第一次和某人见面时，他不知道你会皱起眉头，如果你很专注，你会被误解。)”可知，此处通过具体的例子列举了人们很容易对他人的肢体语言产生误解，设空处应对该现象进行概括。D 选项“In fact, people easily make mistakes reading and reacting to others’ body language.(事实上，人们很容易对他人的肢体语言做出错误的解读和反应。)”承接前文，符合语境。故选 D。
根据下文“Depending on the context, the same nonverbal signals can take on totally different meanings(根据上下文的不同，同样的非语言信号可以有完全不同的含义。)” 可知，此处强调的是，不同的背景会对肢体语言产生极大的影响即语言的语境或者背景的不同导致同样的肢体语言可能会有完全不同的含义。G 选项“Context includes locations, relationships, time, experience, and even room temperature.(语境包括地点、关系、时间、经历，甚至是室温。)”对“ 语境/ 背景” 进行了解释， 指出其包含的具体内容， G 选项中 context 对应下文中 context，形成呼应，符合语境。故选 G。
根据上文“But they take more notice of any single sign that indicates you’re in a bad mood and not to be approached. (但他们会更注意任何一个表明你心情不好、不宜接近的信号。)”以及后一句“So when you are standing with your arms folded for your comfort, others may judge your body language as resistant and unapproachable.(因此，当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时，
别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的。)”可知，此处指出当你为了舒适而交叉双臂站立时，别人可能会认为你的肢体语言是抗拒和不可接近的，前文应该强调的是人们之所以会做出该判断的原因，故设空处和前文应该解释的是相关原因，即往往通过判断一个人的单一的肢体行动而判定该人的心情，人们往往赋予判定的负面信息以意义， 而不是正面信息，由此才会断定你是抗拒和不可接近的。F 选项“Besides, they often assign meaning to negative messages than it does to positive ones.(此外，他们经常赋予负面信息以意义，而不是正面信息。)”引起下文，解释了他人断定你是不可抗拒和不可接近的原因，符合语境。故选 F。
根据上文“But biases can also work against you. What if you remind people of someone they dislike In that case, their original response to you wouldn’t be a good one. (但偏见也可能对你不利。如果你让人们想起他们不喜欢的人呢？在这种情况下，他们最初对你的回应并不好。)”可知，此处强调的是“预先的偏见”对给他人留下印象产生的影响。此处指出的是一些不好的偏见会让他人对自己的最初印象不好。B 选项“They would even look for your behavior that confirmed this bias.(他们甚至会寻找你的行为来证实这种偏见。)”是对上文的进一步说明，指出，偏见不仅让他人对你的印象不好，他人还会在此基础上去寻找各种你的行为来印证这种偏见，符合语境。 故选 B。
根据前文“Most of culture’s values are absorbed unconsciously at an early age. Such values affect how people think and act, and more importantly, the kind of criteria by which people judge others.(大多数文化价值观都是在很小的时候就被无意识地吸收了。这些价值观影响着人们的思维和行为，更重要的是，影响着人们评判他人的标准。)”可知，此处强调了无意识吸收的文化价值所产生的影响。E 选项“What is right in one culture may be ineffective or even rude in
another.(在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。)”指出在一
种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的，符合语境，指出文化价值产生的影响即在一种文化中正确的行为在另一种文化中可能是无效的甚至是粗鲁的。故选E。

has shown that curiosity is just as important as intelligence in 44 how well students do in
school.
Curiosity also 45 us to embrace unfamiliar circumstances, brings excitement into
our lives, and opens up new possibilities. Being curious requires us to be both humble enough to know we don’t have all the answers, and brave enough to 46 it. Asking the questions that
help us 47 the gap between what we already know and what we’d like to know can lead us
to make unexpected discoveries.
In science, basic curiosity-driven research — conducted without pressure to produce immediate practical results — can have 48 and incredibly important benefits. 49 ,
one day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing around with a coil ( 线圈) and a magnet ( 磁铁)
50 he suddenly saw how he could generate an electrical current. At first, it wasn’t clear what
use this would have, but it actually made 51 available for use in technology, and so
changed the world.
Unsurprisingly, there are chemical and evolutionary theories to 52 why humans are
such curious creatures. When we become curious, our brains 53 a chemical called
dopamine (多巴胺), which makes the process of learning more pleasurable and improves memory. It is still not known why learning gives us such 54 , but one theory is that we may have
developed a basic need to fight uncertainty — the more we understand about the world around us, the more 55 we are to survive its many dangers!
