Michael and his wife, new residents in a San Francisc apartment, learned abut their neighbr Jeff Dunan’s vlunteer wrk fr Bangladesh Relief, an rganizatin that prvides fd, clthing and essential supplies fr disadvantaged peple in nrthern Bangladesh. Inspired, Michael dnated $150 t Dunan’s GFundMe campaign. Hwever, a credit card ntificatin alerted him t an unintended $15,041 charge.
When he saw the five-figure number, he was cnfused. Sn, it all made sense. Michael’s credit card number started with fur and ne. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card infrmatin while his cursr (光标) was still in the dnatin bx.
Michael planned t call Dunan t explain, but befre he had the chance t d that, he started receiving Facebk messages frm Shhag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based prgram manager, thanking him fr his generus dnatin. After he lked thrugh the phts f peple hlding thank-yu signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had t withdraw his handsme dnatin. Once his riginal cntributin was refunded, he decided t dnate $1,500.
Althugh Michael had tld his family and friends abut the tale, he decided t share it publicly n scial media, after Dunan tld him the rganizatin was desperately in need f funds. “The least I culd d was take the time t pst this stry nline and see if I culd inspire ther peple t dnate t the cause,” Michael said.
Little did he knw, thugh, that the stry wuld be seen far and wide, ending up raising mre than $120,000 fr Bangladesh Relief in the span f nly a few weeks—abut eight times Michael’s mistaken dnatin. Accrding t Dunan, mre than 3,700 peple have cntributed because f Michael’s pst. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the nging utpuring f supprt. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reactin,” he said. “Peple can be amazing when they cme tgether fr smething like this.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了主人公Michael输错捐款金额后将故事分享到网上，结果吸引了更多人关注孟加拉国的灾情，募集到了更多的资金。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Michael’s credit card number started with fur and ne. Clearly, he accidentally began typing his credit card infrmatin while his cursr (光标) was still in the dnatin bx. (迈克尔的信用卡号码是以4加1开头的。很明显，当他的光标还在捐款箱里时，他不小心开始输入他的信用卡信息。)”可知，迈克尔捐了一大笔钱，因为他输入的金额不正确。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Michael planned t call Dunan t explain, but befre he had the chance t d that, he started receiving Facebk messages frm Shhag Chandra, the charity’s Bangladesh-based prgram manager, thanking him’ fr his generus dnatin. After he lked thrugh the phts f peple hlding thank-yu signs that read his name, Michael’s heart sank. He felt terrible that he had t withdraw his handsme dnatin. Once his riginal cntributin was refunded, he decided t dnate $1,500. (迈克尔计划打电话给杜南解释，但在他有机会这么做之前，他开始收到慈善机构孟加拉国项目经理肖哈格·钱德拉发来的脸书信息，感谢他的慷慨捐赠。当他看完那些举着写有他名字的感谢牌的人的照片后，迈克尔的心沉了下去。他不得不收回他的大笔捐款，这让他感到很难过。一旦他的原始捐款被退还，他决定捐赠1500美元。)” 可知，此时他认识到自己的大笔捐款产生了很大的影响，所以开始后悔自己申请退款的举动。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Althugh Michael had tld his family and friends abut the tale, he decided t share it publicly n scial media, after Dunan tld him the rganizatin was desperately in need f funds. (虽然迈克尔已经告诉了他的家人和朋友这个故事，但在杜南告诉他该组织急需资金后，他决定在社交媒体上公开分享。)”可知，迈克尔是在杜南告诉了他这个团体急需资金之后决定在网上分享这件事的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，并结合最后一段的“Little did he knw, thugh, that the stry wuld be seen far and wide, ending up raising mre than $120,000 fr Bangladesh Relief in the span f nly a few weeks—abut eight times Michael’s mistaken dnatin. Accrding t Dunan, mre than 3,700 peple have cntributed because f Michael’s pst. Michael has been stunned (震惊) by the nging utpuring f supprt. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this reactin,” he said. “Peple can be amazing when they cme tgether fr smething like this.”(然而，他并不知道，这个故事会被广泛传播，最终在短短几周内为孟加拉国救济组织筹集了12万多美元——大约是迈克尔错误捐款的8倍。据杜南说，有超过3700人因为迈克尔的帖子而捐款。迈克尔被源源不断的支持惊呆了:“我做梦也没想到会有这样的反应，”他说。“当人们聚在一起做这样的事情时，他们会很了不起。”) ”可知，文章主要叙述了Michael为什么一开始决定捐款、捐款金额有误的原因以及后续如何吸引了更多人捐款的故事。故事始于Michael一个人的善意，结尾时3700多人都加入了捐款活动，短时间内就筹集到了大笔资金。因此，B项“众人拾柴火焰高”正确。A. Actins speak luder than wrds.(行动胜于言语)；B. Many hands make light wrk. (众人拾柴火焰高)；C. Always prepare fr a rainy day. (未雨绸缪)；D.A gd beginning is half f victry. (良好的开端是成功的一半)。故选B。
C
Carl Wieman, a Nbel Prize-winning physicist at Stanfrd University, excelled in the lab, where he created the Bse-Einstein cndensate (玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚态). Hwever, his mastery in the lab did nt extend t the classrm. Fr years, he wrestled with what seemed t be a straightfrward task: making undergraduates cmprehend physics as he did. Laying it ut fr them—explaining, even demnstrating the cre cncepts f the discipline—was nt wrking. Despite his clear explanatins, his students’ capacity t slve the prblems he psed t them remained inadequate.
It was in an unexpected place that he fund the key t the prblem: nt in his classrms but amng the graduate students (研究生) wh came t wrk in his lab. When his PH. D. candidates entered the lab, Wieman nticed, their habits f thught were n less narrw and rigid than the undergraduates. Within a year r tw, hwever, these same graduate students transfrmed int the flexible thinkers he was trying s earnestly, and unsuccessfully, t cultivate. “Sme kind f intellectual prcess must have been missing frm the traditinal educatin,” Wieman recunts.
A majr factr in the graduate students’ transfrmatin. Wieman cncluded, was their experience f intense scial engagement arund a bdy f knwledge — the hurs they spent advising, debating with, and recunting anecdtes t ne anther. In 2019, a study published in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement f several hundred graduate students in the sciences ver the curse f fur years, its authrs fund that the develpment f crucial skills such as generating hyptheses (假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was clsely related t the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received frm their faculty mentrs (导师).
Wieman is ne f a grwing number f Stanfrd prfessrs wh are bringing this “active learning” apprach t their curses. His aspiratin is t mve science educatin away frm the lecture frmat, tward a mdel that is mre active and mre engaged.
8. What prblem did Carl Wieman have with his undergraduates?
A. Making them excel in the lab.B. Demnstrating lab experiments.
C. Facilitating their all-rund develpment.D. Enhancing their physics prblem-slving.
9. Which f the fllwing best describes the graduate students wh first jined Wieman’s lab?
A. Limited in thinking.B. Resistant t new ideas.
C. Flexible and earnest.D. Experienced and cperative.
10. What is crucial fr develping students’ intelligent thught accrding t the 2019 study?
A. Intense lab wrk.B. Peer pressure and evaluatin.
C. Academic interactin with fellws.D. Engagement with external sciety.
11. Which f the fllwing can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Transfrming Graduates’ HabitsB. Carl Wieman’s Nbel Prize Jurney
C. The Nbel-Prize Winner’s StrugglesD. Carl Wieman’s Educatin Innvatin
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了诺贝尔奖获得者美国斯坦福大学教授将“主动学习”的方法引入课程，希望将科学教育从讲座形式转变为一种更加积极和更加投入的模式。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Laying it ut fr them—explaining, even demnstrating the cre cncepts f the discipline—was nt wrking. Despite his clear explanatins, his students’ capacity t slve the prblems he psed t them remained inadequate. (向他们解释，甚至展示这门学科的核心概念，都没有起到作用。尽管他解释得很清楚，但他的学生解决问题的能力仍然不足。)”可知，加强物理问题的解决能力是本科生的问题。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Within a year r tw, hwever, these same graduate students transfrmed int the flexible thinkers he was trying s earnestly, and unsuccessfully, t cultivate. (然而，在一两年内，这些同样的研究生转变成了灵活的思想家，他一直在努力培养这些思想家，但没有成功)”可知，思维有限是首次加入Wieman实验室的毕业生的问题。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Wieman cncluded, was their experience f intense scial engagement arund a bdy f knwledge — the hurs they spent advising, debating with, and recunting anecdtes t ne anther. In 2019, a study published in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences backed this idea. Tracking the intellectual advancement f several hundred graduate students in the sciences ver the curse f fur years, its authrs fund that the develpment f crucial skills such as generating hyptheses (假设), designing experiments, and analyzing data was clsely related t the students’ engagement with their peers in the lab, rather than the guidance they received frm their faculty mentrs (导师).(维曼总结道，最重要的是他们在知识体系周围的强烈社交体验——他们花几个小时互相建议、辩论和讲述轶事。2019年，发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》上的一项研究支持了这一观点。该报告的作者在四年的时间里追踪了数百名科学研究生的智力发展，发现关键技能的发展，如提出假设、设计实验和分析数据，与学生在实验室与同龄人的互动密切相关，而不是他们从导师那里得到的指导)”可知，2019年的研究发现学生关键思维能力的发展和在实验室里与同龄人的学术交流密切相关。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“Wieman is ne f a grwing number f Stanfrd prfessrs wh are bringing this “active learning” apprach t their curses. His aspiratin is t mve science educatin away frm the lecture frmat, tward a mdel that is mre active and mre engaged. (越来越多的斯坦福大学教授将这种“主动学习”的方法引入他们的课程，维曼就是其中之一。他的愿望是将科学教育从讲座形式转变为一种更加积极和更加投入的模式。)”结合文章段落大意，文章第一段是讲Carl Wieman在教学中发现学生的思维能力和解决问题的能力较差；第二、三段关于他如何找到的解决方案——在实验室的研究生身上发现思维能力的提升关键是和同伴进行的学术交流。第四段是结果——越来越多的教授们在课程教学中采用积极学习的模式。可知本文主要介绍了诺贝尔奖获得者美国斯坦福大学教授将“主动学习”的方法引入课程，希望将科学教育从讲座形式转变为一种更加积极和更加投入的模式，选项D“Carl Wieman’s Educatin Innvatin(卡尔·维曼的教育创新) ”符合本文题目。故选D。
D
Since the 1950s, sme 9.2 billin tnnes f plastic have been prduced glbally, f which nly abut 10% has ever been recycled. Yet envirnmentally cnscius cmpanies and cnsumers cntinue t lk t recycling as a way t ease the plastic prblem. Manufacturing giants claim t be cmmitted t making mre f their prducts and packaging frm recycled materials. Hwever, this cnfidence masks (掩饰) a cmplex web f issues arund plastic recycling. Recycling rates remain extremely lw and critics argue that we shuld lk at alternative ways t tackle plastic pllutin.
While many plastics have the ptential t be recycled, mst are nt because the prcess is cstly, cmplicated and the resulting prduct f a lwer quality than the riginal. Despite rising demand fr recycled plastic, few waste cmpanies turn a prfit. Part f this is because virgin plastic-linked t il prices - is ften cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little ecnmic incentive t use it. Wrse yet, much f ur plastic waste is difficult t recycle. Lightweight fd packaging, like a mzzarella packet, cntains different plastics, dyes and txic additives (添加剂). This dirty mix means plastic recycled thrugh mechanical methds- the mst cmmn frm- can nly be melted dwn and mulded (浇铸,塑造) again a cuple f times befre it becmes t fragile t be reused. And the nature f the prcess means plastic recycling has a carbn ftprint f its wn.
Given all f these difficulties, envirnmental critics say recycling is nt the slutin-and argue that creating mre prducts frm recycled material t attract envirnmental cnsciusness merely wrsens the prblem. “The slutin is t use less plastic and t stp misleading the public abut the recyclability,” says Enck, president f Beynd Plastics, a US campaign grup with a missin t end single-use plastic. “They shuld stp making false claims abut the recyclability f plastics since they knw mst will either be littered (乱扔) r burned r landfilled (填埋). Using less plastics means shifting t reusable prducts and relying mre n paper, cardbard, glass and metal- -all f which shuld be made frm recycled cntent.”
12. What is an envirnmentally cnscius custmer’s attitude twards recycling plastics?
A. Suspicius.B. Favrable.C. Indifferent.D. Disapprving.
13. What des the underlined wrd “incentive” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. mtive.B. issue.C. crisis.D. plicy.
14. What is Paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The recycling prcess f plastics.B. Pllutants cntained in recycled plastics.
C. Reasns why users dislike recycled plastics.D. Cntributing factrs t lw plastic recycling rates.
15. What will the envirnmental critics be happy t see accrding t the text?
A. Using metal r glass fd cntainers.B. Littering recycled plastics in a landfill.
C. Prcessing plastics in a mechanical way.D. Launching campaigns t prmte recyclability.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍大众希望通过回收塑料来解决塑料污染问题，但是实际回收率却很低，因为收益少。环境评论家认为，应该通过少用塑料制品或者可循环利用的物品来代替塑料制品来解决塑料污染问题。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Since the 1950s, sme 9.2 billin tnnes f plastic have been prduced glbally, f which nly abut 10% has ever been recycled. Yet envirnmentally cnscius cmpanies and cnsumers cntinue t lk t recycling as a way t ease the plastic prblem. (自20世纪50年代以来，全球生产了约92亿吨塑料，其中只有约10%被回收。然而，有环保意识的公司和消费者继续将回收利用视为缓解塑料问题的一种方式。)”可知，有环保意识的人对回收塑料的态度是赞同的。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Despite rising demand fr recycled plastic, few waste cmpanies turn a prfit. Part f this is because virgin plastic-linked t il prices - is ften cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little ecnmic incentive t use it. (尽管对回收塑料的需求不断增加，但很少有废物公司盈利。部分原因是与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，这意味着使用它几乎没有经济incentive。)”可知，与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，所以回收公司没有什么盈利，也就没有经济方面的动力，所以incentive的意思应该是“动机，动力”，和选项A意思一致。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“While many plastics have the ptential t be recycled, mst are nt because the prcess is cstly, cmplicated and the resulting prduct f a lwer quality than the riginal. Despite rising demand fr recycled plastic, few waste cmpanies turn a prfit. Part f this is because virgin plastic-linked t il prices - is ften cheaper than recycled plastic, meaning there is little ecnmic incentive t use it. Wrse yet, much f ur plastic waste is difficult t recycle. Lightweight fd packaging, like a mzzarella packet, cntains different plastics, dyes and txic additives(添加剂).

And the nature f the prcess means plastic recycling has a carbn ftprint f its wn. (虽然许多塑料都有回收的潜力，但大多数塑料都没有，因为这一过程成本高昂、复杂，而且最终产生的产品质量低于原来的产品。尽管对回收塑料的需求不断增加，但很少有废物公司盈利。部分原因是与油价相关的原始塑料通常比回收塑料便宜，这意味着使用它几乎没有经济动机。更糟糕的是，我们的许多塑料垃圾很难回收。像马苏里拉奶酪包一样，重量轻的食品包装含有不同的塑料、染料和有毒添加剂。这种肮脏的混合物意味着通过机械方法回收的塑料——最常见的形式——只能熔化并再次成型几次，然后变得太脆弱而无法重复使用。这一过程的性质意味着塑料回收本身就有碳足迹。)”可知，这一段主要介绍导致塑料回收率低的因素。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The slutin is t use less plastic and t stp misleading the public abut the recyclability (解决方案是减少塑料的使用，并停止在可回收性方面误导公众)”和“Using less plastics means shifting t reusable prducts and relying mre n paper, cardbard, glass and metal- -all f which shuld be made frm recycled cntent.(减少塑料的使用意味着转向可重复使用的产品，更多地依赖纸张、纸板、玻璃和金属——所有这些都应该由回收材料制成。)”可知，环境评论家认为，应该通过少用塑料制品或者可循环利用的物品来代替塑料制品来解决塑料污染问题。故选A。

【答案】16. C 17. G 18. E 19. F 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些研究甚至表明气味可以影响我们的感知。
【16题详解】
根据下文“Rja Dve, a perfumer, tld the BBC that when we are brn, the lfactry bulb (嗅球), which is the area in ur brain that prcesses smell, is empty, withut pre-existing infrmatin r assciatin. (香水师Rja Dve告诉BBC，当我们出生时，我们大脑中处理气味的嗅球是空的，没有预先存在的信息或联系)”推知，此处是在说嗅觉是怎么和大脑联系起来的，因此选择项C“Hw is the sense f smell cnnected t yur brain?(嗅觉是如何连接到你的大脑的？)”符合语境。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据下文“When we smell an dur again, the riginal and unique memry cmes flding back because f the assciatin acquired in ut previus experience. (当我们再次闻到一种气味时，由于我们先前经验中获得的联想，最初的和独特的记忆会大量涌现)”可知，我们是后天获得的对气味的反应。因此选择项G“Therefre, ur respnses t smells are learnt and highly individualized.(因此，我们对气味的反应是习得的，并且高度个性化)”符合语境。故选G。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Our awareness f smells is primarily uncnscius. (我们对气味的意识主要是无意识的)”可知，我们对气味的意识主要是无意识的，由此可知，想对气味有意识需要一定的条件。因此选择项E“We are nt actively aware f them unless they are extremely strng. (除非它们非常强大，否则我们不会主动意识到它们)”符合语境。故选E。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Mark Mss at Nrthumbria University’s Psychlgy Department discvered that certain essential ils, such as peppermint, psitively impact cgnitin, and rsemary’s sent can enhance memry. (诺森比亚大学心理学系的马克·莫斯发现，某些精油，如薄荷，对认知有积极影响，迷迭香的气味可以增强记忆)”可知，精油的香味也会影响大脑的表现。因此选择项F“This is especially true when it cmes t the fragrance f essential ils.(说到精油的香味，更是如此)”符合语境，引起下文。故选F。
【20题详解】
根据下文“The next time a familiar smell brings back a special memry. just remember that yur nse is wrking wnders. (下次一种熟悉的气味唤起特别的记忆时，只要记住你的鼻子正在创造奇迹)”可知，鼻子会自动地处理气味，我们不应该忽视鼻子的作用。因此选择项B“S, dn’t take yur nse fr granted.( 所以，不要把你的鼻子视为理所当然)”符合语境。故选B。

【36题详解】
考查副词。句意：自古以来，中国传统上建造了几种类型的建筑。分析句子可知，空处缺少副词作状语，修饰谓语，traditinal对应的副词为traditinally。故填traditinally。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：木结构建筑具有鲜明的特点，与周朝相比变化不大。分析句子可知，空处缺少关系词引导限制性定语从句，先行词为features，从句缺少主语，表示物，用which/that引导。故填which/that。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：这些建筑足够坚固，可以抵御自然灾害，也更容易重建。空处缺少句子的谓语，主语buildings与cnstruct构成逻辑上的被动关系，且表示过去的事情，用一般过去时的被动语态。主语为复数。故填were cnstructed。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意：木制建筑的一个显著特征是宽檐和微微上翘的屋顶。空处用形容词作定语，ntice对应的形容词为nticeable。故填nticeable。
【40题详解】
考查it的用法。句意：建造者认为用悬挑屋顶覆盖木制建筑是很重要的。空处缺少cnsider的宾语，imprtant为宾补，真正的宾语为t cver wden buildings，因此，空处用it作形式宾语。故填it。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：建造者认为用悬挑屋顶覆盖木制建筑是很重要的。空处修饰rfs，verhang意思为：悬垂，悬于……之上，此处为主动关系，用现在分词作定语。故填verhanging。
【42题详解】

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当庭院在北面建造较高的建筑，且在南面建造面向东西的较短的墙壁时，它允许最大数量的阳光在冬季温暖建筑。allw sth. t d sth.意思为：允许某物做某事，空处用不定式结构作宾补。故填t warm。
【45题详解】
考查表语从句。句意：这就是为什么主楼的门窗朝南，并向内庭院开放。根据句意可知，上一句表示“主楼的门窗朝南，并向内庭院开放”的理由，空处用why引导表语从句。故填why。

1840’s Original KAZOO
What is a kaz? Kaz (卡祖笛) is a very special wind instrument which hums thrugh the human vice and enhances the sund, similar t the saxphne. Playing Kaz desn’t need t learn music thery, recite music scres, r even practice. Kaz may sund like a saxphne and trumpet. It is ften played when a guest is welcmed.
Kaz Histry The Kaz rts date back t Africa where they were riginally used fr sacred ceremnies, althugh the exact purpse is still a mystery t all. Later, the Kaz was used t drive away enemies, nt as a musical instrument.
Hw t play? Kaz has a simple structure. The flute is big at ne end and small at the ther. When playing, yu shuld hld the big head in yur muth withut blwing, but hum a tune with yur thrat. The vibratin f the vcal crd drives the vibratin f the sund film n the flute t make a sund. Fr beginners, “d-d” is a perfect attempt. Remember DON’T BLOW-HUM.
Maintenance It is recmmended t keep yur Kaz clean and dry. Excessive saliva (唾液) des nt d the tin much gd. Als fd intake must be cnsidered. Beer, garlic, chilli have a strange effect n the sund, but dn’t be anxius. Sme peple even prefer these effects. Frm time t time the membrane (薄膜) may need replacing thrugh excessive wear r dampness. When remving the ld ne, yu shuldn’t use any mechanical tls r it wuld harm its further use. As fr substitutin, it is a piece f cake as yu just need t cut a piece f waxed paper the size f the hle and screw back the cap.
