【解析】
【原文】W: World Sleep Day, organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep Medicine since 2008, is held on March 21 every year. The aim is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep.
Researchers say that if we always get enough sleep, we can be smarter and thinner. Also we’re to have better skin, better memories and longer lives. When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence your performance the next day.
In general, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep. For teenagers, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However, about 80% of high school students don’t get enough sleep because of schoolwork or bad habits.
27% of people worldwide have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders, and most people know little about their danger. It’s necessary to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.

It may sound like the plot of a Disney movie, but Todd, a fox, really does think he’s a dog. The animal was tamed after being rescued as a 4-month-old baby and was raised as a pet by owner Emma D’ Sylva. Since then the lovable fox has picked up a number of dog characteristics such as tail wagging (摇尾巴), playing with toys and even walking on a lead.
The 11-month-old animal accompanies Emma’s pets Sky and Oakley on walks, drawing double attention from other dog-walkers when they see Todd moving quickly through the local park with Sky and Oakley. They thought as a fox, he has too many dog characteristics. He also sleeps and plays with the other dogs and even wags his tail during its feeding time.
“I’ve had Todd since he was about 4 months old because his previous owners couldn’t look after him anymore. He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last year but now he has a really strong bond with me. He will run up to me wagging his tail when I go to feed him,” Emma, 25, from Stanfield, said.
“Sometimes he comes into my room, but he prefers being outside. He gets on well with my two dogs, and wants to play with them all the time. If people or dogs come up to him in the park, he will lie down at first and freeze but after a few seconds he will sniff around the dogs or sit patiently.”
Emma takes some of her 40 pets into schools and care homes to enable children and the elderly to interact with a range of animals. Emma’s husband, Steve Johnson, added, “Todd went out on his first school visit the other week and the children really enjoyed playing with him.”

Map reading, growing fruit and vegetable and basic car service are also more common skills among the baby boomer generation. But according to a new survey, just one in three 18- to 25-year-olds are able to do basic DIY, compared to two-thirds of those aged 58 and over.
Sarah Clarke-Kuehn, Chief Operating Officer-Commercial, said, “The survey findings are so interesting as they highlight a very common incorrect conception related to ‘getting old’.”
When asked at what age they thought developing new skills becomes “difficult”, Gen Z respondents said they were 35 years old, while those aged over 58 believed this number was 63 years old. The belief is that there is a boundary between learning new skills and getting a sense of achievement. But we know that this is just not the case. The benefits in continuing to enjoy life, as well as developing new talents are very significant—both physically and mentally as we grow older.
Neuroscientist and author, Dr Julia Jones, said, “We underestimate our brain’s ability to continue learning. Our brain is the most complex and precise structure in the known universe but we only use a small part of its true potential throughout our lifetimes. To boost continued brain health, we should learn complex and novel skills at all ages. This becomes more important as we age, because these learning experiences help to build new connections between neurons (神经细胞) that maintain intelligence and reduce the risk of future brain decline.”
“Learning languages and musical instruments are believed to be effective at boosting neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) due to their complex nature, but all learning is beneficial and can bring a sense of achievement, purpose and social engagement.”
Dr Jones added. “Find a new hobby and throw yourself into a wonderful learning experience or pick up an old pastime and improve those skills. I’m currently learning to play the guitar and it’s opened up a whole new world of music and fun.”
28. What is mentioned about the young generation in the text?
A. They lose interest in DIY.
B. They have no idea in plants.
C. Many of them lack some basic skills.
D. Many of them own poor reading skills.
29. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Learning brings a sense of belonging.
B. It is never too late to learn in one’s life.
C. It is necessary to show off one’s talents.
D. The benefits of lifelong learning are temporary.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The significance of knowing the structure of the brain.
B. The difficulties in improving the ability of the brain.
C. The reasons for taking full advantage of the brain.
D. The process of protecting the brain from risk.
31. What is Dr Jones’ attitude to learning musical instruments?
A. Favorable. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要随着年龄的增长，继续享受生活以及发展新的才能的好处是非常重要的——无论是身体上还是精神上。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Map reading, growing fruit and vegetable and basic car service are also more common skills among the baby boomer generation. But according to a new survey, just one in three 18- to 25-year-olds are able to do basic DIY, compared to two-thirds of those aged 58 and over.(阅读地图、种植水果和蔬菜以及基本的汽车服务也是婴儿潮一代更常见的技能。但根据一项新的调查，只有三分之一的18至25岁的人能够做基本的DIY，而58岁及以上的人中这一比例为三分之二。)”可知，年轻一代人很多人不会阅读地图、种植水果和蔬菜以及基本的汽车服务这些基本技能。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“When asked at what age they thought developing new skills becomes “difficult”, Gen Z respondents said they were 35 years old, while those aged over 58 believed this number was 63 years old. (当被问及他们认为在什么年龄发展新技能变得“困难”时，Z世代受访者表示他们35岁，而58岁以上的人则认为这个数字是63岁。)”以及“The benefits in continuing to enjoy life, as well as developing new talents are very significant—both physically and mentally as we grow older.(随着年龄的增长，继续享受生活以及培养新才能的好处在身体和精神上都非常重要。)”可知，人们认为人的一生学习永远不会太迟，总要培养新才能。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Neuroscientist and author, Dr Julia Jones, said, “We underestimate our brain’s ability to continue learning. Our brain is the most complex and precise structure in the known universe but we only use a small part of its true potential throughout our lifetimes. To boost continued brain health, we should learn complex and novel skills at all ages. This becomes more important as we age, because these learning experiences help to build new connections between neurons (神经细胞) that maintain intelligence and reduce the risk of future brain decline.”(神经科学家兼作家Julia Jones博士说：“我们低估了我们大脑继续学习的能力。我们的大脑是已知宇宙中最复杂、最精确的结构，但我们一生只使用了它真正潜力的一小部分。为了促进大脑的持续健康，我们应该在各个年龄段学习复杂而新颖的技能。随着年龄的增长，这一点变得越来越重要，因为这些学习经验有助于建立新的认知能力。”神经元之间的相互作用，维持智力并降低未来大脑衰退的风险。”)”可知，充分利用大脑有很多好处，这一段对此利用大脑的原因进行了解释。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第最后一段中“I’m currently learning to play the guitar and it’s opened up a whole new world of music and fun.”(我目前正在学习弹吉他，这打开了一个全新的音乐和乐趣世界。”)”可知，琼斯博士认为学习乐器很有好处，可见，琼斯博士对此是赞许的。故选A。
D
A diet high in fats and sugars actually affects the parts of the brain that are important to memory and makes people more likely to desire for unhealthful food, says American psychologist Terry Davidson.
Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.
Davidson realized these mice didn’t know they were full. He says something similar may happen in human brains when people eat a diet high in fat and sugar. If our brain system is damaged by that diet, that makes it harder for us to stop eating that diet.
The evidence is growing. In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.
Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity. For example, if the problem is that obese peopled diet degrades their memory, perhaps making peopled meals more memorable would help them eat less bad stuff. Previous researches showed that watching TV while eating will probably make people eat more, get hungry in the afternoon and eat more at dinner. So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.
32. What inspired Davidson’s new finding?
A. The growing popularity of unhealthy diet. B. His former study on hippocampus.
C. His research on people’s eating habits. D. The strange behaviour of the studied mice.
33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A sense of hunger. B. The similarity in brains.
C. The damage of brain. D. A diet high in fat and sugar.
34. What are the subjects in Cheke’s study required to do?
A. Memorize the treasure locations. B. Answer questions on their hiding task.
C. Chat on various computer sessions. D. Conduct an experiment with obesity.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Possible approaches to targeting obesity. B. The research’s contribution to brain science.
C. The link between obesity and memory. D. Changes of people’s living habits.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明高脂肪和高糖的饮食实际上会影响大脑中对记忆很重要的部分，使人们更容易想吃不健康的食物。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.(戴维森一开始并没有研究人们的饮食。相反，他感兴趣的是学习海马体，这是大脑中与记忆密切相关的一部分。当他研究海马损伤的老鼠时，他注意到了一些奇怪的事情。他们会比其他老鼠更频繁地去捡食物，但他们会吃一点，然后扔掉。)”可知，Davidson是注意到做实验的老鼠的一些奇怪的行为才开始自己的研究。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“If our brain system is damaged by that diet(如果我们的大脑系统被这种饮食破坏了)”可知，下文的“that”指的是大脑被饮食损坏。故选C。
【34题详解】

The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.(在剑桥大学心理学家Lucy Cheke的另一项研究中，她的研究人员让肥胖者和瘦子做一项记忆任务，这是一场虚拟的寻宝游戏。受试者必须在不同的计算机会话中隐藏某个场景中的东西，然后问他们隐藏了什么，藏在哪里，在哪个会话中。在实验的各个方面，肥胖的人比瘦弱的人差15- 20%。)”可知，在Lucy Cheke的实验中，参与实验的人员被要求回答一些和藏东西有关的问题。故选B。

Improved mood
When you practice gratitude, you shift your focus from negative thoughts and feelings to positive ones.

Practicing gratitude will make you feel more optimistic. ____37____.
Better relationship
When you think about all the things you are grateful for, you will think of the people in your life that you care for — your family and friends. ____38____, chances are that you’ll want to show them how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate them. And that can strengthen your connection with them.

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。不管一个人感恩的理由是什么，感恩无疑会带来很多好处，文章介绍了感恩带来的四个好处。
【36题详解】
根据上文“For some people, practicing gratitude is part of their spiritual practice or religion, while for others, it’s about cultivating a more positive outlook on life. (对一些人来说，感恩是他们精神实践或宗教信仰的一部分，而对另一些人来说，感恩是培养一种更积极的人生观)”可知，不同的人因不同的原因而感恩，下文“there is no doubt about the benefits to be gained. (这样做的好处是毫无疑问的)”前有逗号，设空处与下文之间应是主从句关系，F项“Whatever someone’s reason for practicing gratitude is (不管一个人感恩的理由是什么)”承接上文的两种感恩的原因，并且是下文的让步状语从句，上下文衔接连贯，语意一致。故选F项。
【37题详解】
本段的小标题为Improved mood (改善的情绪)，上文“Instead of thinking about everything that makes you unhappy, gratitude makes you think about all the things that are good — no matter how big or small. Practicing gratitude will make you feel more optimistic. (感恩之心会让你想到所有美好的事情，无论大小，而不是去想那些让你不开心的事情。学会感恩会让你感觉更乐观)”可知，感恩能改善情绪；D项“You have plenty of reasons to be happy (你有很多快乐的理由)”提及感恩之心会想到所有美好的事情，这些事情就是快乐的理由，D项呼应小标题，上下文语意顺接，衔接连贯。故选D项。
【38题详解】
本段的小标题为Better relationship(更好的关系)，根据上文“When you think about all the things you are grateful for, you will think of the people in your life that you care for — your family and friends. (当你想到所有你感激的事情时，你会想到生活中你关心的人——你的家人和朋友)”可知，感恩能改善自己与家人、朋友的人际关系；下文“chances are that you’ll want to show them how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate them. (很有可能你会想向他们展示他们对你有多重要，你有多感激他们)”前有逗号，与设空处应是主从句关系；G项“Once you realize how grateful you are to have them in your life (一旦你意识到你是多么感激他们在你的生活中)”中的them指代上文中的your family and friends，G项与下文之间为条件关系，上下文衔接连贯，语意一致，故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“So they often feel stressed. Maybe they’re having trouble at work, maybe they’re in financial difficulty, or maybe they feel like they’re just not good enough at something. (所以他们经常感到压力。也许他们在工作上遇到了麻烦，也许他们在经济上遇到了困难，或者他们觉得自己在某件事上做得不够好)”可知，感恩可以减压，C项“People are facing a certain problem (人们正面临着某个问题)”与下文为因果关系，下文例举了三个人们可能面临的困难，上下文衔接连贯，故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Instead of focusing on all the things that you’re bad at or things you’ve failed at, practicing gratitude will shift your focus on all the amazing things you’ve accomplished. And once you realize that, you’ll boost your feelings of achievement. Just focus on what you are grateful for in yourself. It will help you to appreciate your own strengths and talents. (与其把注意力集中在所有你不擅长或失败的事情上，感恩会把你的注意力转移到你所完成的所有令人惊奇的事情上。一旦你意识到这一点，你就会提升你的成就感。专注于你对自己的感激之情。这会帮助你欣赏自己的长处和才能)”可知，感恩者会关注自己已完成的所有所有令人惊奇的事情上，发现自己的长处、才能，提升成就感。由此可知，B项“Improved self-worth (提高自我价值)”与下文语意一致，适合作小标题，故选B项。

【答案】Dear manager,
One month ago, because of the recommendation of your salesperson, I bought a computer in your shop. It worked well for the first three days. I liked it very much. But three days later, it didn’t work very well. I’m afraid I will complain about its bad quality. First, the picture was very unclear. And then, it didn’t have the voice sometimes. Last, it couldn’t load any software. So, not only does this computer bring me no help but also it creates a big problem for me.
I am a frequent customer of your shop and like your message “Customer first”. Now, I want to change the computer. Or else, I would rather get the money back.
I am looking forward to your satisfactory reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“You signed us up for what?” Lu’s eyes widened as Jamie grinned at her. “A charity bike ride. It’d be fun!” She stared at him open-mouthed. “Fun? But I haven’t ridden a bike for years, Jamie. And I hate exercise! How long is this ride?” Lu could feel her muscle shrinking at the mere thought of it.
“Only 20kilometers.”
Lucinda swiped the brightly coloured leaflet advertising the bike ride from her husband’s hand. “Twenty kilometres? That’s a half marathon, Jamie!”
She tossed the leaflet back at him. “Well you can count me out. I’m not fit enough to run five minutes round the block, let alone hours on a bike.”
“But you will be in a couple of months. I thought we could train for it together.” Jamie patted his beer belly. “I’m not exactly in great shape at the moment. And you’ re always saying we don’t get to spend enough time together!” He gave her his best winning grin.
A smile fell across Lucinda’s lips. It was true, she was always saying that lately. Though spending her weekends cycling was not exactly what she’d had in mind.
A wave of sadness spun through her heart. The past few months had been... difficult. She had lost her job and was struggling to find a new one. Being at home, scrolling through job adverts and waiting for interview replies, had left her feeling stuck. Jamie had been working extra hours to support financially, but that only added to her guilt. Despite trying to stay positive, life had somehow skidded to a stop.
“I’m not sure,” Lu sighed.
“It’s not a race, but a joy ride, Lu.” Jamie reassured her, nudging her playfully. “Plus, I’ve already rented us a tandem bike(双人自行车)!”
“A tandem?” Lu’s eyes flashed with horror. “Are you mad?” She stared at him. “You’re not even joking, are you?” Doubts crept into her mind as she imagined the challenges of coordinating their movements on a shared bike.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Actually, the first training session did not go well.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It seemed cycling had truly got their lives moving forward again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Actually, the first training session did not go well. The moment they picked up the bicycle, the sky filled with drizzle and Lucinda’s mood turned dark. “This is stupid, Jamie,” she scowled, “What on earth are we doing here?” Jamie, however, beamed brightly and held the bicycle steady for her to climb on. Along the track, they were greeted with friendly greetings and cheers from Sunday morning walkers. And there was Jamie, always by her side, softly encouraging and cheering her. As the hours passed, they were both sweating buckets. Gone with the sweat were Lucinda’s groans and concerns. Weeks slipping by, Lucinda found herself actually looking forward to their weekend rides. Her muscles grew stronger and their progress became evident, instilling a newfound sense of hope and optimism.
It seemed cycling had truly got their lives moving forward again. Jamie was in quite good shape, his belly tight now. Last week Lucinda received happy news out of the blue -a job offer from one of her many applications and interviews! Finally, the big day came. Lucinda was surprised by the bustling scene: friends, families, spectators and a crazy collection of cyclists - some in fancy dress, others in serious cycle gear. As they waited, Jamie glanced over his shoulder. “I’m really proud of you, you know.” Lucinda grinned. “For the job offer, or this?” Jamie smiled. “Both. You never gave up, even when things seemed impossible.” “And you never gave up on me. Now look at us!” she laughed. With the whistle buzzing and horns blaring, they joined the stream of enthusiastic cyclists and flew along amidst the thunderous cheers of the crowd. In that moment, Lucinda felt her heart spinning with happiness.

【解析】
【原文】W: World Sleep Day, organized by the World Sleep Day Committee of the World Association of Sleep Medicine since 2008, is held on March 21 every year. The aim is to celebrate the benefits of good and healthy sleep.
Researchers say that if we always get enough sleep, we can be smarter and thinner. Also we’re to have better skin, better memories and longer lives. When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it will influence your performance the next day.
In general, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, but a recent survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of them really get a full eight hours of sleep. For teenagers, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night. However, about 80% of high school students don’t get enough sleep because of schoolwork or bad habits.
27% of people worldwide have sleep problems. Now there are over 80 kinds of sleep disorders, and most people know little about their danger. It’s necessary to realize the importance of sleep and try to have a good sleep.

It may sound like the plot of a Disney movie, but Todd, a fox, really does think he’s a dog. The animal was tamed after being rescued as a 4-month-old baby and was raised as a pet by owner Emma D’ Sylva. Since then the lovable fox has picked up a number of dog characteristics such as tail wagging (摇尾巴), playing with toys and even walking on a lead.
The 11-month-old animal accompanies Emma’s pets Sky and Oakley on walks, drawing double attention from other dog-walkers when they see Todd moving quickly through the local park with Sky and Oakley. They thought as a fox, he has too many dog characteristics. He also sleeps and plays with the other dogs and even wags his tail during its feeding time.
“I’ve had Todd since he was about 4 months old because his previous owners couldn’t look after him anymore. He was a bit crazy when he first came to me last year but now he has a really strong bond with me. He will run up to me wagging his tail when I go to feed him,” Emma, 25, from Stanfield, said.
“Sometimes he comes into my room, but he prefers being outside. He gets on well with my two dogs, and wants to play with them all the time. If people or dogs come up to him in the park, he will lie down at first and freeze but after a few seconds he will sniff around the dogs or sit patiently.”
Emma takes some of her 40 pets into schools and care homes to enable children and the elderly to interact with a range of animals. Emma’s husband, Steve Johnson, added, “Todd went out on his first school visit the other week and the children really enjoyed playing with him.”

Map reading, growing fruit and vegetable and basic car service are also more common skills among the baby boomer generation. But according to a new survey, just one in three 18- to 25-year-olds are able to do basic DIY, compared to two-thirds of those aged 58 and over.
Sarah Clarke-Kuehn, Chief Operating Officer-Commercial, said, “The survey findings are so interesting as they highlight a very common incorrect conception related to ‘getting old’.”
When asked at what age they thought developing new skills becomes “difficult”, Gen Z respondents said they were 35 years old, while those aged over 58 believed this number was 63 years old. The belief is that there is a boundary between learning new skills and getting a sense of achievement. But we know that this is just not the case. The benefits in continuing to enjoy life, as well as developing new talents are very significant—both physically and mentally as we grow older.
Neuroscientist and author, Dr Julia Jones, said, “We underestimate our brain’s ability to continue learning. Our brain is the most complex and precise structure in the known universe but we only use a small part of its true potential throughout our lifetimes. To boost continued brain health, we should learn complex and novel skills at all ages. This becomes more important as we age, because these learning experiences help to build new connections between neurons (神经细胞) that maintain intelligence and reduce the risk of future brain decline.”
“Learning languages and musical instruments are believed to be effective at boosting neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) due to their complex nature, but all learning is beneficial and can bring a sense of achievement, purpose and social engagement.”
Dr Jones added. “Find a new hobby and throw yourself into a wonderful learning experience or pick up an old pastime and improve those skills. I’m currently learning to play the guitar and it’s opened up a whole new world of music and fun.”
28. What is mentioned about the young generation in the text?
A. They lose interest in DIY.
B. They have no idea in plants.
C. Many of them lack some basic skills.
D. Many of them own poor reading skills.
29. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Learning brings a sense of belonging.
B. It is never too late to learn in one’s life.
C. It is necessary to show off one’s talents.
D. The benefits of lifelong learning are temporary.
30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The significance of knowing the structure of the brain.
B. The difficulties in improving the ability of the brain.
C. The reasons for taking full advantage of the brain.
D. The process of protecting the brain from risk.
31. What is Dr Jones’ attitude to learning musical instruments?
A. Favorable. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要随着年龄的增长，继续享受生活以及发展新的才能的好处是非常重要的——无论是身体上还是精神上。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段“Map reading, growing fruit and vegetable and basic car service are also more common skills among the baby boomer generation. But according to a new survey, just one in three 18- to 25-year-olds are able to do basic DIY, compared to two-thirds of those aged 58 and over.(阅读地图、种植水果和蔬菜以及基本的汽车服务也是婴儿潮一代更常见的技能。但根据一项新的调查，只有三分之一的18至25岁的人能够做基本的DIY，而58岁及以上的人中这一比例为三分之二。)”可知，年轻一代人很多人不会阅读地图、种植水果和蔬菜以及基本的汽车服务这些基本技能。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“When asked at what age they thought developing new skills becomes “difficult”, Gen Z respondents said they were 35 years old, while those aged over 58 believed this number was 63 years old. (当被问及他们认为在什么年龄发展新技能变得“困难”时，Z世代受访者表示他们35岁，而58岁以上的人则认为这个数字是63岁。)”以及“The benefits in continuing to enjoy life, as well as developing new talents are very significant—both physically and mentally as we grow older.(随着年龄的增长，继续享受生活以及培养新才能的好处在身体和精神上都非常重要。)”可知，人们认为人的一生学习永远不会太迟，总要培养新才能。故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第四段“Neuroscientist and author, Dr Julia Jones, said, “We underestimate our brain’s ability to continue learning. Our brain is the most complex and precise structure in the known universe but we only use a small part of its true potential throughout our lifetimes. To boost continued brain health, we should learn complex and novel skills at all ages. This becomes more important as we age, because these learning experiences help to build new connections between neurons (神经细胞) that maintain intelligence and reduce the risk of future brain decline.”(神经科学家兼作家Julia Jones博士说：“我们低估了我们大脑继续学习的能力。我们的大脑是已知宇宙中最复杂、最精确的结构，但我们一生只使用了它真正潜力的一小部分。为了促进大脑的持续健康，我们应该在各个年龄段学习复杂而新颖的技能。随着年龄的增长，这一点变得越来越重要，因为这些学习经验有助于建立新的认知能力。”神经元之间的相互作用，维持智力并降低未来大脑衰退的风险。”)”可知，充分利用大脑有很多好处，这一段对此利用大脑的原因进行了解释。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第最后一段中“I’m currently learning to play the guitar and it’s opened up a whole new world of music and fun.”(我目前正在学习弹吉他，这打开了一个全新的音乐和乐趣世界。”)”可知，琼斯博士认为学习乐器很有好处，可见，琼斯博士对此是赞许的。故选A。
D
A diet high in fats and sugars actually affects the parts of the brain that are important to memory and makes people more likely to desire for unhealthful food, says American psychologist Terry Davidson.
Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.
Davidson realized these mice didn’t know they were full. He says something similar may happen in human brains when people eat a diet high in fat and sugar. If our brain system is damaged by that diet, that makes it harder for us to stop eating that diet.
The evidence is growing. In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.
Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity. For example, if the problem is that obese peopled diet degrades their memory, perhaps making peopled meals more memorable would help them eat less bad stuff. Previous researches showed that watching TV while eating will probably make people eat more, get hungry in the afternoon and eat more at dinner. So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.
32. What inspired Davidson’s new finding?
A. The growing popularity of unhealthy diet. B. His former study on hippocampus.
C. His research on people’s eating habits. D. The strange behaviour of the studied mice.
33. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A sense of hunger. B. The similarity in brains.
C. The damage of brain. D. A diet high in fat and sugar.
34. What are the subjects in Cheke’s study required to do?
A. Memorize the treasure locations. B. Answer questions on their hiding task.
C. Chat on various computer sessions. D. Conduct an experiment with obesity.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Possible approaches to targeting obesity. B. The research’s contribution to brain science.
C. The link between obesity and memory. D. Changes of people’s living habits.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现，该研究表明高脂肪和高糖的饮食实际上会影响大脑中对记忆很重要的部分，使人们更容易想吃不健康的食物。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Davidson didn’t start out studying people’s eating. Instead, he was interested in learning about the hippocampus（海马体）, a part of the brain heavily involved in memory. He noticed something strange when he studied mice with hippocampal damage. They would go to pick up food more often than the others, but they would eat a little bit, then drop it.(戴维森一开始并没有研究人们的饮食。相反，他感兴趣的是学习海马体，这是大脑中与记忆密切相关的一部分。当他研究海马损伤的老鼠时，他注意到了一些奇怪的事情。他们会比其他老鼠更频繁地去捡食物，但他们会吃一点，然后扔掉。)”可知，Davidson是注意到做实验的老鼠的一些奇怪的行为才开始自己的研究。故选D。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上一句“If our brain system is damaged by that diet(如果我们的大脑系统被这种饮食破坏了)”可知，下文的“that”指的是大脑被饮食损坏。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In another study by Cambridge psychologist Lucy Cheke, her researchers asked obese（肥胖的）and thin people to do a memory task, a virtual treasure hunt. The subjects had to hide something in a scene across various computer sessions（会话框）, then they were asked what they hid, where they hid it and in which session. The obese people were 15-20 percent worse than the thin ones in all aspects of the experiment.(在剑桥大学心理学家Lucy Cheke的另一项研究中，她的研究人员让肥胖者和瘦子做一项记忆任务，这是一场虚拟的寻宝游戏。受试者必须在不同的计算机会话中隐藏某个场景中的东西，然后问他们隐藏了什么，藏在哪里，在哪个会话中。在实验的各个方面，肥胖的人比瘦弱的人差15- 20%。)”可知，在Lucy Cheke的实验中，参与实验的人员被要求回答一些和藏东西有关的问题。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Cheke says with the link between obesity and the brain growing as a field of research, we could see more ways of targeting obesity.( Cheke说，随着肥胖和大脑之间的联系成为一个研究领域，我们可以看到更多针对肥胖的方法。)”以及“So Cheke suggests not watching TV while eating. It is one of the easy changes people can make that don’t involve much self-control, but that makes a great difference.(所以Cheke建议不要边吃边看电视。这是人们可以做的一个简单的改变，不需要太多的自我控制，但却会产生很大的不同。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述的是减肥的一些可能的方法。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。不管一个人感恩的理由是什么，感恩无疑会带来很多好处，文章介绍了感恩带来的四个好处。
【36题详解】
根据上文“For some people, practicing gratitude is part of their spiritual practice or religion, while for others, it’s about cultivating a more positive outlook on life. (对一些人来说，感恩是他们精神实践或宗教信仰的一部分，而对另一些人来说，感恩是培养一种更积极的人生观)”可知，不同的人因不同的原因而感恩，下文“there is no doubt about the benefits to be gained. (这样做的好处是毫无疑问的)”前有逗号，设空处与下文之间应是主从句关系，F项“Whatever someone’s reason for practicing gratitude is (不管一个人感恩的理由是什么)”承接上文的两种感恩的原因，并且是下文的让步状语从句，上下文衔接连贯，语意一致。故选F项。
【37题详解】
本段的小标题为Improved mood (改善的情绪)，上文“Instead of thinking about everything that makes you unhappy, gratitude makes you think about all the things that are good — no matter how big or small. Practicing gratitude will make you feel more optimistic. (感恩之心会让你想到所有美好的事情，无论大小，而不是去想那些让你不开心的事情。学会感恩会让你感觉更乐观)”可知，感恩能改善情绪；D项“You have plenty of reasons to be happy (你有很多快乐的理由)”提及感恩之心会想到所有美好的事情，这些事情就是快乐的理由，D项呼应小标题，上下文语意顺接，衔接连贯。故选D项。
【38题详解】
本段的小标题为Better relationship(更好的关系)，根据上文“When you think about all the things you are grateful for, you will think of the people in your life that you care for — your family and friends. (当你想到所有你感激的事情时，你会想到生活中你关心的人——你的家人和朋友)”可知，感恩能改善自己与家人、朋友的人际关系；下文“chances are that you’ll want to show them how much they mean to you and how much you appreciate them. (很有可能你会想向他们展示他们对你有多重要，你有多感激他们)”前有逗号，与设空处应是主从句关系；G项“Once you realize how grateful you are to have them in your life (一旦你意识到你是多么感激他们在你的生活中)”中的them指代上文中的your family and friends，G项与下文之间为条件关系，上下文衔接连贯，语意一致，故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“So they often feel stressed. Maybe they’re having trouble at work, maybe they’re in financial difficulty, or maybe they feel like they’re just not good enough at something. (所以他们经常感到压力。也许他们在工作上遇到了麻烦，也许他们在经济上遇到了困难，或者他们觉得自己在某件事上做得不够好)”可知，感恩可以减压，C项“People are facing a certain problem (人们正面临着某个问题)”与下文为因果关系，下文例举了三个人们可能面临的困难，上下文衔接连贯，故选C项。
【40题详解】
根据下文“Instead of focusing on all the things that you’re bad at or things you’ve failed at, practicing gratitude will shift your focus on all the amazing things you’ve accomplished. And once you realize that, you’ll boost your feelings of achievement. Just focus on what you are grateful for in yourself. It will help you to appreciate your own strengths and talents. (与其把注意力集中在所有你不擅长或失败的事情上，感恩会把你的注意力转移到你所完成的所有令人惊奇的事情上。一旦你意识到这一点，你就会提升你的成就感。专注于你对自己的感激之情。这会帮助你欣赏自己的长处和才能)”可知，感恩者会关注自己已完成的所有所有令人惊奇的事情上，发现自己的长处、才能，提升成就感。由此可知，B项“Improved self-worth (提高自我价值)”与下文语意一致，适合作小标题，故选B项。

【答案】Dear manager,
One month ago, because of the recommendation of your salesperson, I bought a computer in your shop. It worked well for the first three days. I liked it very much. But three days later, it didn’t work very well. I’m afraid I will complain about its bad quality. First, the picture was very unclear. And then, it didn’t have the voice sometimes. Last, it couldn’t load any software. So, not only does this computer bring me no help but also it creates a big problem for me.
I am a frequent customer of your shop and like your message “Customer first”. Now, I want to change the computer. Or else, I would rather get the money back.
I am looking forward to your satisfactory reply!
Yours,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“You signed us up for what?” Lu’s eyes widened as Jamie grinned at her. “A charity bike ride. It’d be fun!” She stared at him open-mouthed. “Fun? But I haven’t ridden a bike for years, Jamie. And I hate exercise! How long is this ride?” Lu could feel her muscle shrinking at the mere thought of it.
“Only 20kilometers.”
Lucinda swiped the brightly coloured leaflet advertising the bike ride from her husband’s hand. “Twenty kilometres? That’s a half marathon, Jamie!”
She tossed the leaflet back at him. “Well you can count me out. I’m not fit enough to run five minutes round the block, let alone hours on a bike.”
“But you will be in a couple of months. I thought we could train for it together.” Jamie patted his beer belly. “I’m not exactly in great shape at the moment. And you’ re always saying we don’t get to spend enough time together!” He gave her his best winning grin.
A smile fell across Lucinda’s lips. It was true, she was always saying that lately. Though spending her weekends cycling was not exactly what she’d had in mind.
A wave of sadness spun through her heart. The past few months had been... difficult. She had lost her job and was struggling to find a new one. Being at home, scrolling through job adverts and waiting for interview replies, had left her feeling stuck. Jamie had been working extra hours to support financially, but that only added to her guilt. Despite trying to stay positive, life had somehow skidded to a stop.
“I’m not sure,” Lu sighed.
“It’s not a race, but a joy ride, Lu.” Jamie reassured her, nudging her playfully. “Plus, I’ve already rented us a tandem bike(双人自行车)!”
“A tandem?” Lu’s eyes flashed with horror. “Are you mad?” She stared at him. “You’re not even joking, are you?” Doubts crept into her mind as she imagined the challenges of coordinating their movements on a shared bike.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Actually, the first training session did not go well.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It seemed cycling had truly got their lives moving forward again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Actually, the first training session did not go well. The moment they picked up the bicycle, the sky filled with drizzle and Lucinda’s mood turned dark. “This is stupid, Jamie,” she scowled, “What on earth are we doing here?” Jamie, however, beamed brightly and held the bicycle steady for her to climb on. Along the track, they were greeted with friendly greetings and cheers from Sunday morning walkers. And there was Jamie, always by her side, softly encouraging and cheering her. As the hours passed, they were both sweating buckets. Gone with the sweat were Lucinda’s groans and concerns. Weeks slipping by, Lucinda found herself actually looking forward to their weekend rides. Her muscles grew stronger and their progress became evident, instilling a newfound sense of hope and optimism.
It seemed cycling had truly got their lives moving forward again. Jamie was in quite good shape, his belly tight now. Last week Lucinda received happy news out of the blue -a job offer from one of her many applications and interviews! Finally, the big day came. Lucinda was surprised by the bustling scene: friends, families, spectators and a crazy collection of cyclists - some in fancy dress, others in serious cycle gear. As they waited, Jamie glanced over his shoulder. “I’m really proud of you, you know.” Lucinda grinned. “For the job offer, or this?” Jamie smiled. “Both. You never gave up, even when things seemed impossible.” “And you never gave up on me. Now look at us!” she laughed. With the whistle buzzing and horns blaring, they joined the stream of enthusiastic cyclists and flew along amidst the thunderous cheers of the crowd. In that moment, Lucinda felt her heart spinning with happiness.
