Fortunately, thanks to modern technology, the people we miss are often only a phone call or text message away. But if you're someone who's more prone to typed out messages than verbal ones, you may want to reconsider. According to science, if you want to feel more connected to the people you're talking to, you should call them instead of texting. A new study, published in the? Journal of Experimental Psychology, found that communication interactions that included voice, like a phone call or video chat, created stronger social bonds than communication through typing, like text messaging（发信息）or email. In the study, researchers used various experiments to gauge（测量）connectedness. In one, they asked 200 people to make predictions about what it would be like to reconnect with an old friend by email or by phone and then assigned people at random to do one or the other. Although people anticipated that a phone call would be more awkward, hearing someone's voice actually made the experience better. "People reported they did form a significantly stronger bond with their old friend on the phone versus email, and they did not feel more awkward, " study co-author Amit Kumar, an assistant professor of marketing at the McCombs School of Business, said in a statement. In another experiment, the researchers had strangers connect by either texting, talking over video chat, or talking using only audio. They found that both forms of voice communication—whether video or audio only—made the strangers feel significantly more connected than when they communicated via text. Sabrina Romanoff, a Harvard trained clinical psychologist based in New York City, says people tend to text or email instead of calling because of convenience, as they see it as a controlled form of communication where they can "correspond information exactly in the way they intend without unexpected additions by the other person."Romanoff says that in reality, texting can make it hard to determine the true meaning behind a conversation. "A phone call is actually more convenient when considering the net effects of the message," she explains. "Each party is more present, and therefore, able to gauge the meaning behind the content without ruminating on the endless possible meanings behind words and punctuation."24．According to the passage, which of the following will NOT prevent you from visiting your friends?A．Long distance. B．Busyness.C．A certain pandemic. D．Bad relationship.25．How did the researchers confirm their judgment?A．By publishing their articles. B．By Making experimentsC．By interviewing some famous people. D．By sending emails to strangers.26．Why do people tend to text or email instead of calling?A．Because they think to text or email cost less fees.B．Because they think it is more convenient to text or email than to call.C．Because they intend to discuss with another person.D．Because they think it is more convenient to save the data.27．Which is the best title of the passage?A．Voice Communication Is Better Than Texting MassageB．Remember To Get In Touch With Your old FriendsC．Strengthen The Communication InteractionD．Control Your True Meaning Behind A ConversationCOn the Yucatan Peninsula, people are working to protect and expand mangrove forests. The low trees grow in watery areas near ocean coasts. Years ago, mangroves were all along the Yucatan shores. Today, there are few.A team of villagers from the area is trying to renew the forests. Scientists and donations support the effort. The Mexican government helps pay training costs for the team. The villagers joined the renewal effort more than 10 years ago with scientist Jorge Alfredo Herrera. He told them how to dig canals (运河). The dig was going to be hard work and the pay was only four dollars a day. Recently, the workers finished the second part of the process: planting young mangroves near the city. This mangrove renewal effort is similar to others around the world. Scientists and community groups are increasingly recognizing the need to protect and bring back the forests. Mangroves are a very important ecosystem to fight climate change. While these trees only grow on less than 1 percent of the Earth’s land, they can bury around five times more carbon in the sediment (沉积物) than a rainforest. Yet, around the world, mangroves are being destroyed. From 1980 to 2005, as much as 35 percent of the world’s mangroves disappeared. In Mexico, as in much of the world, development is the main threat to mangrove existence. The area of Cancun lost most of its mangroves to roads and hotels starting in the 1980s. Mangroves on the country’s southern Pacific Ocean coast also have been cleared to make room for fish farms. Oil industry operations in waters off the Gulf of Mexico threaten mangroves there too. There have been restoration efforts around the world to protect mangroves. In Mexico, the successes have arrived slowly. Manuel Conzalez is a 57-year-old fisherman. He helped regrow many mangroves. González says storms do not cause much damage and the fish and wildlife have returned. But the mangroves face a new threat. “In 10 years, you have a very nice mangrove for someone with a chainsaw (电锅) to come and take it,” Gonzalez said. “That’s something that hurts me a lot.”28．What can be known about the renewal effort?A．It was started by the government. B．All parts of it have been finished.C．It is guided by some villager. D．It is hard work for little pay.29．Why do we need to protect and bring back mangrove forests?A．They can stop climate change completely. B．They can act as a defence against storms.C．They are efficient in storing carbon. D．They can bring great financial benefits to the locals.30．How does the author develop the fifth paragraph?A．By giving examples. B．By presenting numbers.C．By explaining concepts. D．By drawing conclusions.31．What is Conzilez mainly worried about?A．Not enough fish and wildlife have returned.B．Powerful storms may do harm to many mangrovesC．The successes of regrowing mangroves arrive too slowly.D．Mangrove forests may be destroyed by humans in the future.DIt’s late in the evening, time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams.It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned is associated with improved performance in that activity (suggesting that there’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn. While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural virtual reality.A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering from sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performed the dance moves she learned earlier — “the first direct and unambiguous demonstration of behavioral replay of a recently learned skill during human sleep, ” writes lead author Delphine Oudiette.Of course, most of us are not quite so energetic during sleep — but our brains are busy nonetheless. While our bodies are at rest, scientists theorize, our brains are extracting what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that data into the vast store of what we already know—perhaps explaining why dreams are such an odd mixture of fresh experiences and old memories. A dream about something we’ve just learned seems to be a sign that the new knowledge has been processed effectively. In a 2010 study published in the journal Current Biology, researchers at Harvard Medical School reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to navigate the maze compared to participants who did not dream about the task.Robert Stickgold, one of the Harvard researchers, suggests that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the odds of dreaming about the material. Think about that as your head hits the pillow tonight.32．What happens when one enters a dream state?A．The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake.B．The neural activity of the brain will become more intense.C．The brain once again experiences the learning activities of the day.D．The brain behaves as if it were playing a virtual reality video game.33．What does the brain do while we are sleeping?A．It replaces old information with new material.B．It processes and absorbs newly acquired data.C．It classifies information and places it in different files.D．It systematizes all the information collected during the day.34．Which of the following can enhance learning according to Robert Stickgold?A．Staying up late before finally going to bed.B．Having a period of sleep right after studying.C．Having a dream about anything you are interested in.D．Thinking about the chances of dreaming about the material.35．What is the text mainly about?A．How study affects people’s dreams.B．Why people learn more after sleeping.C．What time students should study and sleep.D．How dreaming may lead to improved learning outcomes.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。A strong memory depends on the health and vitality（生命力）of your brain. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks，but when it comes to the brain，scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true. ___36___Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to“use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you' ll be able to process and remember information. ___37___Don't skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important to brain health, that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk of disorders that lead to memory loss.Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get now and the amount you need to function at your best. ___38___Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.Have a laugh. ___39___ That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter involves multiple regions across the whole brain.___40___ Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains,“healthy”fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it's not just what you eat — it's also what you don't eat. A．Play games with memory.B．Keep a brain-enhancing diet.C．Laughter is the best medicine.D．But oversleeping is not good for your brain.E．Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!F．You have to do some workouts from time to time!G．The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.第三部分  英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节语法填空（共20小题; 每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。China used to be called the “Kingdom of Bicycles” in the 1980s and the 1990s, but since then, cars __41__ (take) over the country.
