【原文】 W: I read a story in a book the other day. It showed something important and I wanted to share it with you. The story was set in the years before cars were invented, so the rich had to travel in coaches. One day, a young lady wanted to watch a play in the theater. Her coachman took her to the theater in a coach. It was very cold. While she was watching the play, the poor coachman had to sit outside in the snow on the driver’s seat of the coach looking after the horse. Inside the theater, the lady was moved to tears by the performance. Some actors in the play were in extremely poor situations. She showed great pity on them. However, when she came out and saw the coachman covered with snow and almost frozen to death, she just considered it as a normal part of life. Nowadays, whenever I see people in terrible situations on TV, I feel sad, wishing that I could do something to make a difference. But I often ignore people and things around me, like people who struggle with life. They lose their jobs, experience death in their family or suffer diseases. Help those as you can. This is the story. Is there anyone who can share something you read during the holidays in class?

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
24. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy?
A. Inspiring and practical. B. Tiring yet delightful.
C. Exciting and worthwhile. D. Difficult yet engaging.
25. Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2?
A. He wanted to focus on his work.
B He was struck by sudden sorrow.
C. He attempted to behave like an adult.
D. He was faced with increasing pressure.
26. What did the author get from picking up his hobby?
A. More fun in the daily routine. B. New journeys in the wild.
C. Better skills of observation. D. Different styles of photography.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Revisiting Lost Childhood Memories
B. Appreciating Beauty Behind the Lens
C. Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera
D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代的摄影爱好重新获得快乐的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. (收到它后，我跳上自行车，前往温布尔登公园拍照，只为我自己:树木和野生动物的照片。我一整天都在外面。在回家的路上，我看到一棵被街灯照亮的树，我试图捕捉它的辉煌。我急匆匆地赶回家，把用完的胶卷装进一个特制的小信封里，寄给了一家摄影店，急切地想看看它的效果如何。)”中的“I jumped”, “rushing home”和“desperate to see”等描写可推断出作者很激动；根据本段最后一句话“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. (那时我拍了很多照片，当你冲洗你的胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这一事实让我很高兴，它冻结了那些珍贵的时刻，温柔地鼓励了我的爱好和为冲洗而支付的费用。)”可推断，作者觉得拥有这个爱好，为它花钱是值得的。故选 C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. (这些年来不断增长的压力把相机从我的枕头旁推到了角落里的盒子里。)”可知，作者停止拍照是因为他面临着越来越大的压力。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. (即使一天很满很忙，我也能抓住一些时间给自己拍照，观察周围的世界。)”和第四段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，作者通过重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。故选 A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”及全文可知，文章讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代的摄影兴趣重新获得快乐的故事。所以“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography(通过摄影重新获得乐趣)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
C
If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought.
“People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at unexpected times,” says Kalina Christoff, a scientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, “because our culture tells us that we should do it through hard work.”
Now researchers begin to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and what’s happening in the brain. They have found that the key is a series of brain activities—within what’s called the default mode (DM) network—that occur while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don’t require much attention.
“Simply put, it is a state that your brain returns to when you’re relaxed,” explains Christoff. “By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.”
Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world. When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks.
“A cautionary note: While the DM network plays a key role in the creative process, it is the EC systems that help you to evaluate and apply the creative ideas effectively to your problems in the real world,” Christoff says. “So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.”
28. What is the most unlikely function of the EC systems?
A. To start your thinking process. B. To help you analyze.
C. To let you get novel ideas D. To keep you focused.
29. What do the underlined words “something clicks” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A clever idea occurs. B. Something drops down.
C. A memory disappears. D. A funny thought happens.
30. What is Kalina Christoff’s attitude to the culture of hard work?
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
31. Which statement might the author agree with?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Everything comes to him who waits.
D. All work and no break makes Jack a dull boy.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了创意经常会在放松状态下出现的心理机制。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“‘By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.’”（“相比之下，当你在处理一项要求很高的任务时，大脑的执行控制系统(EC)会让你的思维保持集中、分析性和逻辑性。”）”可知，EC系统主导的是有意识的思维活动而不是无意识的创意思维活动，让你开始思维过程，帮助你分析，保持你集中，不能让你获得新的想法。故选C。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前“Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world.（研究人员发现，DM网络也参与了想法产生的早期阶段，从过去的经验和对世界的了解中汲取知识。）”结合划线句“When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks.( 当你走神的时候，你允许一些想法在你的脑海中嬉戏，这有助于你以新的方式结合信息和想法，并something clicks。)”可推断，something clicks与idea generation所表达的意思相近，即当走神时，想法在我们的脑海中嬉戏，有助于我们以新的方式将信息和想法结合起来，这样一个聪明的想法就产生了。故划线部分与A项“一个聪明的想法产生”意思相符。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.”（盲目相信创造性的想法可以在淋浴或任何其他类型的走神过程中产生是不明智的。相反，你必须先做一些工作，为创意的出现打下基础）”可知，Kalina Christoff认为不能盲目相信在走神过程中会产生是不明智的，还是要努力为创意的出现打好基础，因此推断他对努力工作这一文化持正面态度的。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，再根据第一段“If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought.（如果你曾经洗完澡或散步回来，想到了一个聪明的主意或解决了你一直在纠结的问题，这可能并不奇怪。过去15年的研究表明，人们在做一项不需要太多思考的习惯性任务时，可能更有可能取得创造性突破，而不是一直专注于一个问题）”可知，大脑机制决定了只有劳逸结合才能富有创意。由此推知，作者可能会同意D项“只工作不休息，聪明孩子也变傻”的说法。故选D。
D
The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species remaining undocumented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research.
The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets: One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64,100 recorded tree species on the planet—up from previous estimates of around 60,000.
The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team’s result is “a rather conservative estimate,” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon,” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.”
Silman, a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues’ local surveys suggest there are at least 3,000 and possibly more than 6,000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon — or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many “species” already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet?” he says.
Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered,” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.”
32. What is the finding of the new research?
A. Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge.
B. About nine thousand new tree species have been identified.
C. Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science.
D. Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees.
33. What can be learned about the research method?
A. The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data.
B. The researchers did extensive field study in out-of-the-way spots.
C. Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method.
D. Inferring from the existing dada is the main research method.
34. The underlined word “preponderane” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. majority B. duration
C. cultivation D. capacity
35. According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________.
A. genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information
B. Even the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species.
C. trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together
D. too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过新的调查研究，得出的对全球的树木生物种类的数量估算，其中还包括一些未记录在案的树种；同时一些生物学家通过调查认为在亚马逊热带雨林里面，还有许多不知名的树种等待人们去发现，这也令这些生物学家们倍受鼓舞。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species yet to be documented.”(世界上的森林可能拥有比以前想象的更多的秘密：一项新的全球树木生物多样性估计表明，约有9200种树木尚未被记录在案。)可知，该项新研究指出成千上万的树种仍不为科学所知。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets.”(这项新研究利用了数百名贡献者的努力，他们在两个巨大的数据集中对树木进行了分类。)和第三段“The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. ”（根据数据库中已有的稀有物种的数量，研究人员得出了他们对另外9200个尚未记录的物种的估计。）可知，该研究的主要方法是从已有的数据中进行推断得出结论。故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.”(比如亚马逊，在那里偏僻的地方可能有一些其他地方没有的不常见的树种。)可知，这里通过举例子说明划线词所在部分“scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon”（科学家们对亚马逊等地大多数不常见的树木知之甚少）中，在如亚马逊雨林这种地方有很多科学家们没见过、不了解的树种，所以他们对这里大多数不常见的树木都知之甚少，故“the prdponderance of”表示“大多数”，与“the majority of”同义。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon—or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many “species” already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet? he says.” (Sliman想知道有多少树种会在科学家描述它们之前灭绝。“已经有多少树种被亚马逊当地人所熟知，又有多少是被因殖民、疾病或同化而灭绝的民族或文化所知道的？有多少“物种”已经有干燥的样本放在橱柜里？”他说。）可知，Sliman认为当地的民族或文化也不完全了解这些树种，所以这也是树种数量被低估的一个原因。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了中国山东省淄博市的烤肉特色和当地政府利用这一机会促进旅游和消费的情况。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：自2月下旬以来，山东省淄博市因其当地特色烧烤在中国社交媒体上走红，当地政府借此机会促进旅游和消费。句中take the opportunity to do sth为固定短语，意为“抓住机会去做某事”，使用不定式结构作状语。故填to promote。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：3月31日，中国铁路济南局在济南和淄博之间增加了周末往返“烧烤游”专列。句中使用动词作谓语，句子表述过去事实，故使用一般过去时。故填added。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：最新的促销活动是，只要游客的最终目的地是淄博，就可以凭火车票免费进入该市的10个景点。分析句子，设空处使用admit的名词admission作give的宾语，意为“门票”，由空格前的a可知，应该用单数形式。故填admission。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：烧烤在中国很受欢迎，但淄博的烧烤有三个不同之处:在炉子上烤，配上面饼和调料。句中表示“在某方面不同”用固定短语differ in。故填in。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这些烤肉串在上桌之前要煮70- 80%，食客们可以在自己的炉子上把它们烤熟，从而产生一种参与感。分析句子，设空处与空格前的介词on构成“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句的结构，引导词在从句中作宾语，指代前文的table，为物，所以应该用which。故填which。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。句中a sense of participation为固定短语，意为“参与感”，sense为可数名词，此处表示泛指，同时其首字母为辅音音素。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意：用餐者可以在餐桌上享用面饼和其他调味料，这样他们就可以自己组装烧烤包，这与吃北京烤鸭的方式大致相同。句中表示“某人自己的”用one’s own，即使用形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：今年2月底，一群大学生拍摄了自己享受烤肉的视频，并将其上传到社交媒体上，这一烧烤活动意外走红。设空处使用副词修饰动词went作状语。故填unexpectedly。
64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。根据空格前的介词of可知，此处应该用动名词enjoying和前面的themselves构成动名词复合结构作介词of的宾语。故填enjoying。
【65题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起，许多人，主要是年轻人，从全国各地被吸引到这座城市品尝这道菜。分析句子，句中Since then为现在完成时的时间标志，同时many people与attract之间是被动关系，且主语为复数，故使用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been attracted。

One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog and she planned to find its owner. Ann agreed, but she said that she could watch it only for the day because she needed to take care of her son. At the time, her son Thomas was 10 years old, who was recovering from a heart operation.
Later, Tracy took photos of the dog, printed off 400 FOUND fliers, put them in mailboxes and began to find the dog’s owner. Meanwhile, Ann bought some pet supplies, warning her son not to fall in love with the dog. However, her son was filled with excitement as he knew that his mother got a dog back home. He planned to provide the dog with some food everyday.
Four days later, Ann and her son were still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. During the four days, they took care of the dog carefully, provided some food, took a shower and played with it, and they had already become the best friends.
The evening of the fifth day, when Ann arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Thomas suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Thomas, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him, the dog went silent.
The doctor said if it hadn’t come to get his mother in time, Thomas would have died. Luckily, with the doctor’s help, Thomas could go home tomorrow morning.
“Mum, can we keep it if we can’t find its owner? Even we can ask for permission if we find the owner,” Thomas asked his mother when they came back home.
“Well, since no one has called to claim it, we decide to keep it,” his mother replied. Hearing that, Thomas was excited.

And Tracy told Ann that Peter would drive to her house to pick up his dog this afternoon. Later, Ann told Thomas the owner had called to claim Riley, they needed to return it to the owner. Hearing that news, Thomas put his hands over his mouth. His eyes were wide open for he couldn’t believe what had happened. However, he had to face the truth.
Peter’s car came and Thomas stood silently beside his car. Ann took Riley from her home. Seeing that, Thomas’ tears were rolling down his cheeks. Riley sat beside Thomas, sometimes ran around him and shouted: wom wom, which clearly showed that Riley didn’t want to leave his friend, Thomas. At last, Thomas asked Peter, “Can we keep Riley?” Knowing this point, Peter thought about it for a moment, and then said, “Maybe my dog was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.” Hearing that, Thomas ran around after Riley, obviously, they were full of joy.

【原文】 W: I read a story in a book the other day. It showed something important and I wanted to share it with you. The story was set in the years before cars were invented, so the rich had to travel in coaches. One day, a young lady wanted to watch a play in the theater. Her coachman took her to the theater in a coach. It was very cold. While she was watching the play, the poor coachman had to sit outside in the snow on the driver’s seat of the coach looking after the horse. Inside the theater, the lady was moved to tears by the performance. Some actors in the play were in extremely poor situations. She showed great pity on them. However, when she came out and saw the coachman covered with snow and almost frozen to death, she just considered it as a normal part of life. Nowadays, whenever I see people in terrible situations on TV, I feel sad, wishing that I could do something to make a difference. But I often ignore people and things around me, like people who struggle with life. They lose their jobs, experience death in their family or suffer diseases. Help those as you can. This is the story. Is there anyone who can share something you read during the holidays in class?

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.
24. What did the author think of taking photos as a young boy?
A. Inspiring and practical. B. Tiring yet delightful.
C. Exciting and worthwhile. D. Difficult yet engaging.

【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代的摄影爱好重新获得快乐的故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. (收到它后，我跳上自行车，前往温布尔登公园拍照，只为我自己:树木和野生动物的照片。我一整天都在外面。在回家的路上，我看到一棵被街灯照亮的树，我试图捕捉它的辉煌。我急匆匆地赶回家，把用完的胶卷装进一个特制的小信封里，寄给了一家摄影店，急切地想看看它的效果如何。)”中的“I jumped”, “rushing home”和“desperate to see”等描写可推断出作者很激动；根据本段最后一句话“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. (那时我拍了很多照片，当你冲洗你的胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这一事实让我很高兴，它冻结了那些珍贵的时刻，温柔地鼓励了我的爱好和为冲洗而支付的费用。)”可推断，作者觉得拥有这个爱好，为它花钱是值得的。故选 C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. (这些年来不断增长的压力把相机从我的枕头旁推到了角落里的盒子里。)”可知，作者停止拍照是因为他面临着越来越大的压力。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. (即使一天很满很忙，我也能抓住一些时间给自己拍照，观察周围的世界。)”和第四段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”可知，作者通过重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。故选 A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. (对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置的年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个允许快乐机会的环境。)”及全文可知，文章讲述了作者通过重拾青少年时代的摄影兴趣重新获得快乐的故事。所以“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography(通过摄影重新获得乐趣)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
C
If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought.
“People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at unexpected times,” says Kalina Christoff, a scientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, “because our culture tells us that we should do it through hard work.”
Now researchers begin to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and what’s happening in the brain. They have found that the key is a series of brain activities—within what’s called the default mode (DM) network—that occur while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that don’t require much attention.
“Simply put, it is a state that your brain returns to when you’re relaxed,” explains Christoff. “By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.”
Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world. When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks.
“A cautionary note: While the DM network plays a key role in the creative process, it is the EC systems that help you to evaluate and apply the creative ideas effectively to your problems in the real world,” Christoff says. “So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.”
28. What is the most unlikely function of the EC systems?
A. To start your thinking process. B. To help you analyze.
C. To let you get novel ideas D. To keep you focused.
29. What do the underlined words “something clicks” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A clever idea occurs. B. Something drops down.
C. A memory disappears. D. A funny thought happens.
30. What is Kalina Christoff’s attitude to the culture of hard work?
A. Disapproving. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
31. Which statement might the author agree with?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. Everything comes to him who waits.
D. All work and no break makes Jack a dull boy.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了创意经常会在放松状态下出现的心理机制。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“‘By contrast, when you’re working on a demanding task, the brain’s executive control (EC) systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.’”（“相比之下，当你在处理一项要求很高的任务时，大脑的执行控制系统(EC)会让你的思维保持集中、分析性和逻辑性。”）”可知，EC系统主导的是有意识的思维活动而不是无意识的创意思维活动，让你开始思维过程，帮助你分析，保持你集中，不能让你获得新的想法。故选C。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前“Researchers find that the DM network is also involved in the early stages of idea generation, drawing from past experiences and knowledge about the world.（研究人员发现，DM网络也参与了想法产生的早期阶段，从过去的经验和对世界的了解中汲取知识。）”结合划线句“When your mind wanders, you’re allowing thoughts to playfully cross your mind, which helps you combine information and ideas in new ways and something clicks.( 当你走神的时候，你允许一些想法在你的脑海中嬉戏，这有助于你以新的方式结合信息和想法，并something clicks。)”可推断，something clicks与idea generation所表达的意思相近，即当走神时，想法在我们的脑海中嬉戏，有助于我们以新的方式将信息和想法结合起来，这样一个聪明的想法就产生了。故划线部分与A项“一个聪明的想法产生”意思相符。故选A。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“So it’s unwise to place blind faith in the discovery that creative ideas can be generated in the shower or during any other kinds of mind wandering. Instead, you have to do the work to set the groundwork for creative ideas to emerge in the first place.”（盲目相信创造性的想法可以在淋浴或任何其他类型的走神过程中产生是不明智的。相反，你必须先做一些工作，为创意的出现打下基础）”可知，Kalina Christoff认为不能盲目相信在走神过程中会产生是不明智的，还是要努力为创意的出现打好基础，因此推断他对努力工作这一文化持正面态度的。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，再根据第一段“If you’ve ever emerged from the shower or returned from your walk with a clever idea or a solution to a problem you had been struggling with, it may not be a surprise. Rather than constantly concentrating on a problem, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs when they’re doing a habitual task that doesn’t require much thought.（如果你曾经洗完澡或散步回来，想到了一个聪明的主意或解决了你一直在纠结的问题，这可能并不奇怪。过去15年的研究表明，人们在做一项不需要太多思考的习惯性任务时，可能更有可能取得创造性突破，而不是一直专注于一个问题）”可知，大脑机制决定了只有劳逸结合才能富有创意。由此推知，作者可能会同意D项“只工作不休息，聪明孩子也变傻”的说法。故选D。
D
The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species remaining undocumented. Most are likely in the tropics, according to the new research.
The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets: One, the Global Forest Biodiversity Initiative, records every species found in extensively documented forest plots worldwide. The other, TREECHANGE, puts together sightings of individual species. Together they suggest there are approximately 64,100 recorded tree species on the planet—up from previous estimates of around 60,000.
The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. Most unknown species are likely to be defined as rare, found in limited numbers in small geographical areas, says the quantitative forest ecologist Jingjing Liang. The team’s result is “a rather conservative estimate,” Liang says, “because scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.” “If we can focus the resources on those rain forests in the Amazon,” Liang adds, “then we would be able to estimate it with higher confidence.”
Silman, a conservation biologist, who was not involved in the new study agrees that the study result is likely an underestimate. His and his colleagues’ local surveys suggest there are at least 3,000 and possibly more than 6,000 unknown tree species in the Amazon basin alone. Tree species often get grouped together based on appearance, he notes, so new genetic analysis techniques will likely lead to the discovery of even more biodiversity. Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon — or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many “species” already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet?” he says.
Searching for the new species will inform not only conservation but the basic evolutionary science of how and why species diversify and die out, Silman says. “Just the fact that there are thousands of species of something as common as trees out there that are still left to be discovered,” he adds, “I find pretty inspirational.”
32. What is the finding of the new research?
A. Maintaining tree diversity has become a global challenge.
B. About nine thousand new tree species have been identified.
C. Thousands of tree species remain unknown to science.
D. Human activities have led to the reduced number of trees.
33. What can be learned about the research method?
A. The researchers adopted quality method to analyze data.
B. The researchers did extensive field study in out-of-the-way spots.
C. Doing surveys and interviews is the main research method.
D. Inferring from the existing dada is the main research method.
34. The underlined word “preponderane” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. majority B. duration
C. cultivation D. capacity
35. According to Silman, one of the reasons for the underestimate of the tree species may be that ________.
A. genetic analysis technique failed to produce accurate information
B. Even the local peoples or the local cultures are not fully aware of the tree species.
C. trees of similar sizes in the Amazon basin are grouped together
D. too many rare trees were made into dried samples before being documented
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过新的调查研究，得出的对全球的树木生物种类的数量估算，其中还包括一些未记录在案的树种；同时一些生物学家通过调查认为在亚马逊热带雨林里面，还有许多不知名的树种等待人们去发现，这也令这些生物学家们倍受鼓舞。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The world’s forests may hold more secrets than previously thought: a new global estimate of tree biodiversity suggests that there are about 9,200 tree species yet to be documented.”(世界上的森林可能拥有比以前想象的更多的秘密：一项新的全球树木生物多样性估计表明，约有9200种树木尚未被记录在案。)可知，该项新研究指出成千上万的树种仍不为科学所知。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“The new research drew on the efforts of hundreds of contributors, who have categorized trees in two huge data sets.”(这项新研究利用了数百名贡献者的努力，他们在两个巨大的数据集中对树木进行了分类。)和第三段“The researchers reached their estimate of an additional 9,200 yet undocumented species on the basis of the number of rare ones already in the databases. ”（根据数据库中已有的稀有物种的数量，研究人员得出了他们对另外9200个尚未记录的物种的估计。）可知，该研究的主要方法是从已有的数据中进行推断得出结论。故选D。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“such as the Amazon, where out-of-the-way spots could host pockets of unusual species found nowhere else.”(比如亚马逊，在那里偏僻的地方可能有一些其他地方没有的不常见的树种。)可知，这里通过举例子说明划线词所在部分“scientists know less about the preponderance of uncommon trees in places such as the Amazon”（科学家们对亚马逊等地大多数不常见的树木知之甚少）中，在如亚马逊雨林这种地方有很多科学家们没见过、不了解的树种，所以他们对这里大多数不常见的树木都知之甚少，故“the prdponderance of”表示“大多数”，与“the majority of”同义。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Sliman wonders how many species will go extinct before scientists describe them. “How many are already known to native peoples in the Amazon—or were known to peoples or cultures who have themselves been made extinct through colonization, disease, or absorption? How many “species” already have dried samples sitting in a cabinet? he says.” (Sliman想知道有多少树种会在科学家描述它们之前灭绝。“已经有多少树种被亚马逊当地人所熟知，又有多少是被因殖民、疾病或同化而灭绝的民族或文化所知道的？有多少“物种”已经有干燥的样本放在橱柜里？”他说。）可知，Sliman认为当地的民族或文化也不完全了解这些树种，所以这也是树种数量被低估的一个原因。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了中国山东省淄博市的烤肉特色和当地政府利用这一机会促进旅游和消费的情况。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：自2月下旬以来，山东省淄博市因其当地特色烧烤在中国社交媒体上走红，当地政府借此机会促进旅游和消费。句中take the opportunity to do sth为固定短语，意为“抓住机会去做某事”，使用不定式结构作状语。故填to promote。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：3月31日，中国铁路济南局在济南和淄博之间增加了周末往返“烧烤游”专列。句中使用动词作谓语，句子表述过去事实，故使用一般过去时。故填added。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意：最新的促销活动是，只要游客的最终目的地是淄博，就可以凭火车票免费进入该市的10个景点。分析句子，设空处使用admit的名词admission作give的宾语，意为“门票”，由空格前的a可知，应该用单数形式。故填admission。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意：烧烤在中国很受欢迎，但淄博的烧烤有三个不同之处:在炉子上烤，配上面饼和调料。句中表示“在某方面不同”用固定短语differ in。故填in。

考查定语从句。句意：这些烤肉串在上桌之前要煮70- 80%，食客们可以在自己的炉子上把它们烤熟，从而产生一种参与感。分析句子，设空处与空格前的介词on构成“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句的结构，引导词在从句中作宾语，指代前文的table，为物，所以应该用which。故填which。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：同上。句中a sense of participation为固定短语，意为“参与感”，sense为可数名词，此处表示泛指，同时其首字母为辅音音素。故填a。
【62题详解】
考查代词。句意：用餐者可以在餐桌上享用面饼和其他调味料，这样他们就可以自己组装烧烤包，这与吃北京烤鸭的方式大致相同。句中表示“某人自己的”用one’s own，即使用形容词性物主代词作定语。故填their。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意：今年2月底，一群大学生拍摄了自己享受烤肉的视频，并将其上传到社交媒体上，这一烧烤活动意外走红。设空处使用副词修饰动词went作状语。故填unexpectedly。
64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。根据空格前的介词of可知，此处应该用动名词enjoying和前面的themselves构成动名词复合结构作介词of的宾语。故填enjoying。
【65题详解】
考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：从那时起，许多人，主要是年轻人，从全国各地被吸引到这座城市品尝这道菜。分析句子，句中Since then为现在完成时的时间标志，同时many people与attract之间是被动关系，且主语为复数，故使用现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been attracted。

One morning, Ann’s neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school. She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog and she planned to find its owner. Ann agreed, but she said that she could watch it only for the day because she needed to take care of her son. At the time, her son Thomas was 10 years old, who was recovering from a heart operation.
Later, Tracy took photos of the dog, printed off 400 FOUND fliers, put them in mailboxes and began to find the dog’s owner. Meanwhile, Ann bought some pet supplies, warning her son not to fall in love with the dog. However, her son was filled with excitement as he knew that his mother got a dog back home. He planned to provide the dog with some food everyday.
Four days later, Ann and her son were still looking after the dog, whom they had started to call Riley. During the four days, they took care of the dog carefully, provided some food, took a shower and played with it, and they had already become the best friends.
The evening of the fifth day, when Ann arrived home from work, the dog threw itself against the door and barked madly at her. As soon as she opened the door, Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Thomas suffering from a heart attack. Riley ran over to Thomas, but as soon as Ann bent over to help him, the dog went silent.
The doctor said if it hadn’t come to get his mother in time, Thomas would have died. Luckily, with the doctor’s help, Thomas could go home tomorrow morning.
“Mum, can we keep it if we can’t find its owner? Even we can ask for permission if we find the owner,” Thomas asked his mother when they came back home.
“Well, since no one has called to claim it, we decide to keep it,” his mother replied. Hearing that, Thomas was excited.

Hearing that news, Thomas put his hands over his mouth. His eyes were wide open for he couldn’t believe what had happened. However, he had to face the truth.
Peter’s car came and Thomas stood silently beside his car. Ann took Riley from her home. Seeing that, Thomas’ tears were rolling down his cheeks. Riley sat beside Thomas, sometimes ran around him and shouted: wom wom, which clearly showed that Riley didn’t want to leave his friend, Thomas. At last, Thomas asked Peter, “Can we keep Riley?” Knowing this point, Peter thought about it for a moment, and then said, “Maybe my dog was supposed to find you, maybe you should keep it.” Hearing that, Thomas ran around after Riley, obviously, they were full of joy.
