A huge turnout is expected in Limerick on Friday to watch the parade which kicks off at midday from O’Connell’s St. Serving as Grand Marshall is Limerick native and star of D’Unbelievables and the Oscar-nominated The Banshees of Inisherin, Jon Kenny, who is looking forward to his “starring role” in this year’s celebrations.

【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Thousands of people will crowd around cities, towns, and villages all over the country on Friday for the annual St Patrick’s Day festivities.(周五，成千上万的人将聚集在全国各地的城镇和村庄，参加一年一度的St Patrick’s Day庆祝活动)”可知，文章介绍了四个城市庆祝St Patrick’s Day的活动内容，因此写作目的应为介绍当地活动，故选A。
B
Paul Wittgenstein had been born into an upper-class Austrian family on November 5, 1887. He grew up in a mansion full of activity and music. His great-uncle, Josef Joachim, was a famous violinist, and as a youth, Paul often accompanied him on the piano. He also studied with Teodor Leschetizky, who had taught many great pianists.
Music critics (评论家) had predicted an admirable future for Paul Wittgenstein as a concert pianist, but that was before he was forced into the Austrian Army near the beginning of World War I. In August of 1914, a bullet broke his right arm and the doctor amputated it.
It seemed Paul’s dream of being a concert pianist was over. At first, the thought of playing the piano with one hand seemed a cruel joke. After further reflection, he thought, why not? His depression turned to determination, and he decided that his missing right arm wouldn’t end his music career.
Near the end of World War I, Paul gave his first left-handed piano recital (演奏会). The critics were surprised. His playing had improved, they said, despite his missing arm. Paul’s strong determination to play concert music inspired great composers to create works intended for the left hand. They were touched by his courage and excited by the challenge of writing music for a one-handed pianist. Paul performed their compositions throughout Europe.
When it was over, the audience rose for a standing applause and cheered wildly. They recognized that a master composer had written a masterpiece for a master artist. A few weeks later in Monte Carlo, Paul again performed the concerto, and again he received high praise.
The Concerto for the Left Hand, which Maurice Ravel wrote for Paul, has become part of musical history. Great pianists everywhere perform it. But it’s more than wonderful music — it is also a monument (见证) to the courage and persistence of a man who could have given up because of his injury, but didn’t.
4. Why did the critics think Paul had an admirable future?
A. He was born in a noble family. B. He had access to music learning.
C. He often held musical activities. D. He made his relatives musicians.
5. What does the underlined word “amputate” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Cut off. B. Attend to. C. Take up. D. Fit in.
6. Which of the following can best describe Paul?
A. Active and modest. B. Brave and determined.
C. Hardworking and honest. D. Patient and humorous.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Musical Masterpiece. B. Music Craze in Austria.
C. Back from The War. D. With Just One Hand.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文介绍了Paul Wittgenstein在一只手臂截肢情况下仍坚持不懈地练习钢琴，最终成为钢琴大师的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Paul Wittgenstein had been born into an upper-class Austrian family on November 5,1887. He grew up in a mansion full of activity and music. His great-uncle, Josef Joachim, was a famous violinist, and as a youth, Paul often accompanied him on the piano. He also studied with Teodor Leschetizky, who had taught many great pianists.(1887年11月5日，Paul Wittgenstein出生在奥地利的一个上流社会家庭。他在一个充满活力和音乐的豪宅里长大。他的叔祖父Josef Joachim是一位著名的小提琴家，年轻时，Paul经常用钢琴为他伴奏。他还师从教过许多伟大的钢琴家的Teodor Leschetizky)”可知，Paul出生在一个充满音乐的上层阶级家庭，有音乐家亲戚和教出了很多音乐家的老师教导他学习音乐和钢琴，因此他有各种学习音乐的途径，评论家门预测他前途光明，故选B。
【5题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“At first, the thought of playing the piano with one hand seemed a cruel joke.(起初，单手弹钢琴的想法似乎是一个残酷的笑话)”可知，Paul只有一只手臂了，由此可推测出医生切掉了他受伤的手臂，amputate意为“切掉”，故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“His depression turned to determination, and he decided that his missing right arm wouldn’t end his music career.(他的沮丧变成了决心，他决定失去右臂不会结束他的音乐生涯)”以及第四段中“Paul’s strong determination to play concert music inspired great composers to create works intended for the left hand. They were touched by his courage and excited by the challenge of writing music for a one-handed pianist.(Paul演奏音乐会音乐的坚定决心激发了伟大的作曲家创作左手作品。他们被他的勇气所感动，为一个单手钢琴家创作音乐的挑战而兴奋)”可知，Paul在失去一只手臂的情况下，勇敢面对困难，坚定决心，坚持不懈练习钢琴追求理想，因此应该用“勇敢”和“意志坚定”来形容他。故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。整篇文章介绍了主人公在失去一只手臂后坚持不懈成为若名钢琴家的故事，一只手臂为贯穿全文的线索，故选D。
C
Long before the pandemic(疫情), many adults turned to toys from Legos to collectible items to tap into their inner childhood for comfort. But all the stresses from the health problems stimulated(刺激)and strengthened the trend, according to Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of a toy review site.
This so-called “kid-adult” market is significant. Ages 18 and older represented 14% of U. S. toy industry sales, or $5. 7 billion in 2022. It grew 19% compared with that in 2021, according to the NPD Group Inc. , a market research firm. This group also enjoyed the second-fastest increase after customers aged 12 to 17.
Last year, Build-a-Bear launched a website called Bear Cave for the 18-year-old and over, highlighting items like toy rabbits holding a bottle of wine. And Basic Fun took a high-tech on the traditional Lite Brite toy from the 1960s and recreated it as wall art with thousands of pegs and 45 LED lights aimed at the adults in time for the holidays-with a $99 price tag. McDonald’s tapped into this group, releasing adult Happy Meals in October with toys designed by the fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.
Loren Brereton,61,was recently visiting the American Girl store with her granddaughter Alana,7. She said that during the pandemic, she took comfort looking at her own daughter’s dolls. She also pulled out some of her son’s Lego’s and other toys and played with them. And she was thinking of buying a few playthings for herself. “All of those games have brought me comfort when I was a kid, but, you know, sort of changed you at different times when you needed it,”she said. “And you needed it. ”
“The pandemic certainly served as a stimulus for this trend as adults found themselves stuck at home with nothing else to do with a lot of time in their hands,”said Genevieve Cruz, senior director at Lego, “But we do believe that the trend goes beyond the pandemic. ”
8. What do we know about the U. S. toy industry?
A. It drew more adults than teenagers. B. It used to be no attraction to adults.
C. It saw a big growth in adult market. D. It brought customers health problems.
9. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A. Adult toys gradually took over the toy industry.
B. Adults had easy access to toys intended for adults.
C. Many companies launched products targeted at adults.
D. Some companies producing adult toys were established.
10. What do toys bring Loren Brereton?
A. Inspiration. B. Satisfaction. C. Regret. D. Comfort.
11. Which of the following will Jim Silver and Genevieve Cruz both agree with?
A. Adults are the main target of the toy industry.
B. Adult toys won’t be popular after the pandemic.
C. Health problems created the craze for adult toys.
D. The pandemic worked as a stimulus to adult toys.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了疫情推动成年人玩具市场在疫情后的增长及其原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Ages 18 and older represented 14% of U. S. toy industry sales, or $5. 7 billion in 2022. It grew 19% compared with that in 2021, according to the NPD Group Inc. , a market research firm.(年龄在18岁及以上的人占美国玩具行业销售额的14%，即5美元。到2022年将达到70亿美元。根据市场研究公司NPD Group Inc.的数据，与2021年相比，这一数字增长了19%。)”可知，2022年成年人玩具销售额比前一年增长19%，增速排在第二。由此可见其增长巨大。故选C项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Last year, Build-a-Bear launched a website called Bear Cave for the 18-year-old and over, highlighting items like toy rabbits holding a bottle of wine. And Basic Fun took a high-tech on the traditional Lite Brite toy from the 1960s and recreated it as wall art with thousands of pegs and 45 LED lights aimed at the adults in time for the holidays-with a $99 price tag. McDonald’s tapped into this group, releasing adult Happy Meals in October with toys designed by the fashion brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.(去年，Build-a-Bear为18岁及以上的人推出了一个名为Bear Cave的网站，突出展示了举着一瓶葡萄酒的玩具兔子等项目。Basic Fun在20世纪60年代的传统Lite Brite玩具上采用了高科技，用数千个挂钩和45个LED灯将其重新制作成墙上的艺术品，目标是赶上假期的成年人，价格为99美元。McDonald利用了这一群体，在10月份推出了成人开心乐园餐，里面有由时尚品牌Cactus Plant Flea Market设计的玩具。)”可知，Build-a-Bear、Basic Fun以及McDonald等多家大公司都上市了针对成年人的产品，由此可知，本段讲述的是一些大公司发布的一些针对成年人的产品。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句““All of those games have brought me comfort when I was a kid, but, you know, sort of changed you at different times when you needed it,”she said. “And you needed it. ”(“当我还是个孩子的时候，所有这些游戏都给我带来了安慰，但是，你知道，在不同的时候，当你需要它的时候，它会改变你，”她说。“你需要它。”)”可知Loren Brereton可以从玩具中获得安慰，而且现在需要这种安慰。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But all the stresses from the health problems stimulated (刺激) and strengthened the trend, according to Jim Silver, editor-in-chief of a toy review site.(但一家玩具评论网站的主编吉姆•西尔弗说，健康问题带来的压力刺激并加强了这一趋势。)”可知，Jim Silver认为疫情带来的健康问题给人们极大压力，刺激和加强了成年人从玩具中寻求安慰的趋势，再根据最后一段““The pandemic certainly served as a stimulus for this trend as adults found themselves stuck at home with nothing else to do with a lot of time in their hands,”said Genevieve Cruz, senior director at Lego, “But we do believe that the trend goes beyond the pandemic. ”(乐高高级主管吉纳维芙·克鲁兹说:“疫情肯定是这种趋势的刺激因素，因为成年人发现自己被困在家里，没有其他事情可做，手里有很多时间。但我们确实认为，这种趋势超越了疫情。”。)”可知，Genevieve Cruz认为疫情是这种趋势的促进因素。由此可知，他们都赞成的是疫情是促使着这种趋势的发展。故选D项。
D
If you hold up a seashell to your ear, you will hear the sea, no matter how far inland you currently are. In fact, it is not the case. So, what’s actually going on here?
One popular explanation is that you are listening to your own blood coursing through you. Popular as this blood theory is, it doesn’t hold water. “Press your ear to a shell and listen, then run around on the beach for a few minutes to increase the blood flow all through your body, and again listen to your magic shell,” Kruszelnicki wrote. “You’ll find that the loudness of the ‘sound of the sea is still the same’.”
If we truly were hearing the sound of our blood rushing through our bodies, that wouldn’t be the case: exercising makes your blood pressure rise, which would thus increase the supposed sounds being “reflected” by the shell. The fact that we don’t hear a difference before and after exercise, therefore, makes quite an evident statement.
There’s another idea that the “sea” you can hear in a shell is actually air-air flowing through the shell and out again, which creates the noise. “In a soundproof room, you won’t hear anything from a shell,” confirmed Andrew King, director of the University of Oxford’s Centre for Integrative Neuroscience. “Background noise must be present.” That’s the biggest clue as to what’s really going on here: the sounds we hear “inside” seashells are not coming from inside our bodies, but rather around them.
“You are hearing surrounding or background noise that has been increased in amplitude (振幅) by the physical characteristic of the seashell,” King explained, “the specific sounds we hear within a shell depend on the exact shape of itself-the hard, curved surfaces inside the shell cause the sound waves that enter to bounce around, increasing some frequencies while reducing others.”
Seashells may be the most poetic of ways to experience this resonance (共振), but they’re definitely not the only method - pretty much any convex (凹面的) surface will do.
12. What is the author’s attitude toward the blood theory in paragraph 2?
A. Opposing. B. Supportive. C. Defensive. D. Unconcerned.
13. What can we infer from Andrew King’s words?
A. Background noise can be heard in a soundproof room.
B. The sound from seashells is the changed noise around you.
C. The shape of seashells can help produce the same sea sound.
D. Sound waves can bounce around to increase them in your ears.
14. What is the text mainly about?
A. Why you can hear the sea from a seashell.
B. How people explore the secret of seashells.
C. Why popular beliefs sometimes prove wrong.
D. How scientists produce a sound as a seashell does.
15. What do you think the author will mention next?
A. Different types of seashells. B. Causes of the sea sound.
C. The sound in soundproof rooms. D. Ways to set off resonance.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了人们从海螺中听到大海的声音的原因。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。从第二段中的“Popular as this blood theory is, it doesn’t hold water.“Press your ear to a shell and listen, then run around on the beach for a few minutes to increase the blood flow all through your body, and again listen to your magic shell,” Kruszelnicki wrote. “You’ll find that the loudness of the “sound of the sea ‘is still the same. ”(尽管这种血液理论很受欢迎，但它站不住脚。Kruszelnicki写道：“把你的耳朵贴在贝壳上听，然后在海滩上跑几分钟，增加全身的血液流量，然后再听你神奇的贝壳。”你会发现“大海之声”的响度还是一样的)”可知，人们运动之后听到的声音没有改变，所以blood theory是不成立的。由此推知，作者对“血液理论”持反对态度。故选A项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段““You are hearing surrounding or background noise that has been increased in amplitude(振幅)by the physical characteristic of the seashell,” King explained, “the specific sounds we hear within a shell depend on the exact shape of itself-the hard, curved surfaces inside the shell cause the sound waves that enter to bounce around, increasing some frequencies while reducing others.”(“你听到的周围或背景噪音的振幅由于贝壳的物理特性而增加了，”King解释说，“我们在贝壳内听到的特定声音取决于它本身的确切形状——贝壳内坚硬的、弯曲的表面导致声波进入周围反弹，一些频率增加，另一些频率降低。”)”可知，从贝克里听到的声音其实是周围的声音在贝壳内部曲面反弹，因此加强了它的振幅，因此这种声音其实就是周围被贝壳增大振幅后的声音。故选B项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“If you hold up a seashell to your ear, you will hear the sea, no matter how far inland you currently are. In fact, it is not the case. So, what’s actually going on here?(如果你把一个贝壳举到耳边，你就会听到大海的声音，不管你现在在内陆有多远。事实上，事实并非如此。那么，这里到底发生了什么?)”可知，本段通过提问的形式引出本文的话题，根据第二段中的“One popular explanation is that you are listening to your own blood coursing through you. Popular as this blood theory is, it doesn’t hold water.(一种常见的解释是，你在听自己的血液在你体内流动。虽然这种血液理论很流行，但它站不住脚)”以及第四段中的“There’s another idea that the “sea” you can hear in a shell is actually air-air flowing through the shell and out again, which creates the noise.(还有一种观点认为，你在贝壳里听到的“海”实际上是空气——空气穿过贝壳又流出来，这就产生了噪音)”可知，全文解释从海贝壳听到大海的音的原因。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Seashells may be the most poetic of ways to experience this resonance(共振), but they’re definitely not the only method - pretty much any convex (凹面的) surface will do.(贝壳可能是体验这种共鸣的最诗意的方式，但它们绝对不是唯一的方法——几乎任何凸面都可以)”推知，接下来应该提到能产生共振的其他方式。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文，简要陈述了拖延症是什么，并给出了改善拖延症的几点建议。
【16题详解】
空前“Procrastination is a common challenge that many people face.(拖延症是许多人面临的共同挑战。)”提到拖延症是一个大家都面临的挑战，而空格后一句“However, there are practical methods which help people beat the bad habit.(然而，有一些实用的方法可以帮助人们克服这个坏习惯。)”中“however”直接进行逻辑上的让步转折，引出有实用性的措施这一观点。该空需要承接上文，具体阐释拖延症的危害，从而引出下文“措施”，E选项“It can prevent success in the long run and is not easy to overcome.(从长远来看，它会阻碍成功，而且不容易克服。)”说明了拖延症的危害，引出接下来要说的措施，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选E。
【17题详解】
空格前提出问题“Are you afraid of something?(你害怕什么吗？)”，空格后“Fill in the sentence: “I’m avoiding this task because I’m afraid that… ”And see what shows up. Identifying your fears can help you realize the monsters in the closet aren’t as bad as you think.(填空这个句子:“我在回避这项任务，因为我害怕……”然后看看出现了什么。认清自己的恐惧可以帮助你意识到衣橱里的怪物并不像你想象的那么糟糕。)”提出解决方案。而空格处应该对提出的问题进行可能性回答，然后才再提出解决建议，D选项“Maybe you feel overcome by it and don’t know where to start.(也许你觉得被它征服了，不知道从哪里开始。)”是害怕的某个内容，因此承上启下，符合语境。故选D。
【18题详解】
空前说“Try crossing something off your list simply because you realize you don’t really need to do that thing ever.(试着从你的清单上划掉一些事情，因为你意识到你根本不需要做那些事情。)”，说明要把一些东西去掉，A选项“Give yourself permission to let it go.(允许自己放手。)”说明了要让自己把一些东西去掉，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选A。
【19题详解】
空前说“Experts highly recommend A Power Hour, which consists of putting away all distractions and working in a concentrated period of time.(专家们强烈推荐“精力充沛的一小时”，它包括抛开所有分心的事情，集中精力工作。)”，空后说“Science has discovered that our brain naturally goes through cycles with peaks (高峰) and valleys.
