I used t believe that nly wrds culd catch the essence f the human sul. The literary wrks cntained such distinct stries that they shaped the way we saw the wrld. Wrds were what cmpsed the questins we sught t uncver and the answers t thse questins themselves. Wrds were everything.
That belief changed.
In an rdinary math class, my teacher psed a simple questin: What’s 0.99 runded t the nearest whle number? Easy. When runded t the nearest whle number, 0.99=1、Smehw, I thught even thugh 0.99 is nly 0.01 away frm 1, there’s still a 0.01 difference. That means even if tw things are nly a little different, they are still different, s desn’t that make them cmpletely different?
My teacher answered my questin by presenting anther equatin: 1= 0.9, which culd als be expressed as 1=0.99999…repeating itself withut ever ending.
There was smething mysterius but fascinating abut the equatin. The left side was unchangeable, bjective: it cntained a number that ended. On the right was smething endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, smehw, these tw ppsed things wrd cnnected by an equal sign.
Lying in bed, I thught abut hw much the equatin paralleled ur existence. The left side f the equatin represents that smetimes life itself is s unchangeable and s clear. The cncrete, whle number f the day when yu were brn and the day when yu wuld die. But the n there is that gap in between life and death. The right side means a time and space full f limitless pssibilities, and endless pprtunities int the pen future.
S that’s what life is. Objective but imaginative. Unchangeable but limitless. Life is an equatin with tw sides that balances itself ut. Still, we can’t ever truly seem t put the perfect wrds t it. S pssibly numbers can express ideas as equally well as wrds can. Fr nw, let’s leave it at that: J=0.99999… and live a life like it.

Researchers have develped a material made f cllagen prtein(胶原蛋白) frm pig a skin, which resembles the human cmea(眼角膜) and restred visin t 20 peple. The prmising result f the trial brings hpe t peple suffering frm crnea l blindness.
An estimated 12.7 millin peple arund the wrld are blind due t their cmeas being damaged r diseased. Their nly way f regaining visin is t receive a transplanted crnea frm a human dnr. But just ne in 70 patients receives a crnea transplant. Furthermre, mst f them live in lw and middle-incme cuntries in which access t treatment s is very limited.
T avid the abve disadvantages f traditinal crnea treatment, the researchers used cllagen prtein frm pig’s skin. “It is pssible t develp a bimaterial that meets all the criteria fr being used as human implants, which can be mass-prduced and reach mre peple with visin prblems,” said Prfessr Neil Lagali. While dnated cmeas must be used within tw weeks, the biengineered crneas can be stred fr up t tw years befre use. The pig skin used is a byprduct f the fd industry, making it easy t access.
The researchers have als develped a new surgical methd fr treating the disease. N stitches are needed with this new methd. In a pilt study, 14 f the 20 participants were blind befre the peratin. After tw years, all f the patients regained their sight. Three f the Indian participants wh had been blind had perfect visin after the peratin.
The researchers als want t study whether the technlgy can be used t treat mre eye diseases, and whether the implant can be adapted t the individual fr even greater effectiveness.
28. What is the disadvantage f traditinal crnea treatment?

A. Successful.B. Ineffective.C. Cnvenient.D. Cntrversial.
31. What is the main purpse f the text?
A. T spread knwledge abut crnea dnatin.

Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle: inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be exhausting. S unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely t buy frm cmpanies we’ve gt used t. That is why cmpanies spend s much mney n advertising and marketing and why insurance cmpanies penly charge existing custmers mre than new nes.
It’s nt the case that we nly desire things we already knw. Sme studies suggest when invited t share ur preferences, we smetimes see less familiar ptins as mre desirable. But when acting n that preference, we fall back t what we knw. This might explain why smetimes the things we want and the things we d dn’t quite batch n. We might even return t cmpanies that treated us prly in the past r stay in bad relatinships.
It’s easy t paint the familiarity principle as an enemy r smething t battle as if it is smething that hlds us back frm living ur dreams. But this attitude might be verwhelming because it tends t encurage us tward big-picture thinking, where we imagine that change requires a substantial dramatic swing that we dn’t feel ready fr. Sme articles suggest the slutin t familiarity frustratin is cmplete expsure t nvelty. While this can appear effective in the shrt run, we may nly end up replacing ne prblem with anther. It als risks verwhelm and burnut.
S what if we can wrk with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is smething we can learn t play with and enjy. It is a setting fr creativity and a pathway t expansin. We can push back the zne f familiarity bit by bit. If we think f familiarity as smething that can expand, we can cnsider changing the cnditins in and arund ur lives t make mre space fr ur preferences t take rt and grw gently. Frm here, we will start t make decisins, drawing frm an ever-deepening pl at valuable ptins.
32. What allws insurance cmpanies t charge ld custmers mre?
A. The imprved service.B. The advertising cst.
C. The familiarity principle.D. The law f the market.
33. What can be learned frm paragraph 2?
A. Our preferences affect ur decisins.
B. Familiarity tends t generate disrespect.
C. The familiarity principle is a duble-edged swrd.
D. There can be an incnsistency between desires and actins
34. What is the authr’s attitude twards the slutin in sme arises?
A. Disapprving.B. Tlerant.C. Objective.D. Reserved.
35. Hw shuld we perceive familiarity principle accrding t the passage?
A. T treat it as an enemy.
B. T give tp pririty t it.
C. T replace it with expsure t nvelty.
D. T gently use it t braden familiarity zne.

“I have an idea t stay warm!” Tm shuted excitedly. Spreading his arms, he suggested jining the penguin huddles t get warm.

24.推理判断题。根据第一段“I used t believe that nly wrds culd catch the essence f the human sul. The literary wrks cntained such distinct stries that they shaped the way we saw the wrld. Wrds were what cmpsed the questins we sught t uncver and the answers t thse questins themselves.（我曾经相信，只有语言才能捕捉到人类灵魂的本质。文学作品包含了如此独特的故事，它们塑造了我们看待世界的方式。文字构成了我们试图揭示的问题，以及这些问题本身的答案）”可推知，在第一段作者主要强调了语言的表达力量，故选D。
25.推理判断题。根据第四段“There was smething mysterius but fascinating abut the equatin. The left side was unchangeable, bjective: it cntained a number that ended. On the right was smething endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, smehw, these tw ppsed things were cnnected by an equal sign.（这个方程式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西，数字无限重复。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了）”可知，作者觉得这个等式很迷人，因为数字虽然不同，但是却被等号连接起来了。由此推知，让作者觉得这个等式迷人的是两个不同的数相等的方式。故选B。
26.词句猜测题。根据划线词下文*The left side f the equatin represents that smetimes life itself is s unchangeable and s clear. The cncrete, whle number f the day when yu were brn and the day when yu wuld die. But then there is that gap in between life and death.（等式的左边表示有时候生命本身是如此的不可改变，如此的清晰。你出生的日期和你死亡的日期的具体整数。但是生与死之间有一段距离）”可知，作者躺在床上思考的是这个等式与我们的存在是多么相似，划线词paralleled的意思是“与……十分相似”，和mirrred意思相近，故选C。
27.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段“My teacher answered my questin by presenting anther equatin(等式): 1=0.9, which culd als be expressed as 1= repeating itself withut ever ending.（我的老师给出了另一个等式：1= 0.9，也可以表示为1=0.99999……不断重复，没有尽头）”和第五段“There was smething mysterius but fascinating abut the equatin. The left side was unchangeable, bjective: it cntained a number that ended. On the right was smething endless, number repeating itself limitless times. Yet, smehw, these tw ppsed things were cnnected by an equal sign.（这个等式神秘而迷人。左边是不变的、客观的：里面有一个没有尽头的数字。右边是无穷无尽的东西，数字无限重复。然而，不知怎么的，这两个相反的东西被一个等号连接起来了）”可知，本文主要讲的是作者在数学课上学了一个等式后的一些感悟。由此可知，最恰当的标题是A选项“The Perfect Equatin（完美的等式）”。故选A。

【导语】
本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，并提出了一种平衡的观点来看待这个原则，而不是将其视为阻碍，作者建议我们可以通过逐步扩展熟悉区域来利用这一原则来促进创造性和成长。
32.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shwn the me re expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be exhausting. S unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely t buy frm cmpanies we’ve gt used t. That is why cmpanies spend s much mney n advertising and marketing and why insurance cmpanies penly charge existing custmers mre than new nes.（研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。因此，除非我们有糟糕的经历，否则我们很可能会从我们已经习惯的公司购买股票。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱，为什么保险公司公开向现有客户收取比新客户更高的费用。）”可知，熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选C。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s nt the case that we nly desire things we already knw. Sme studies suggest when invited t share ur preferences, we smetimes see less familiar ptins as mre desirable. But when acting n that preference, we fall back t what we knw. This might explain why smetimes the things we want and the things we d dn’t quite match up. We might even return t cmpanies that treated us prly in the past r stay in bad relatinships.（这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明,当被邀请分享我们的偏好时，我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时，我们又回到了我们所知道的。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对我们不好的公司，或者保持糟糕的关系。）”可知，本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配，也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选 D。
34.推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While this can appear effective in the shrt run, we may nly end up replacing ne prblem with anther. It als risks verwhelm and burnut.（虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的, 但我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。）”可知，这段话表明作者对文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度，认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效，而且可能带来新的问题和风险。因此，作者的态度是反对的。故选A。
35.推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shwn the mere expsure effect, als referred t as the familiarity principle, inspires ur decisins. It is a helpful psychlgical mechanism that helps us sustain ur energy and fcus ur attentin n ther things. Getting used t new things takes effrt and it can be exhausting.（研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。）”以及最后一段“We can braden the zne f familiarity bit by bit. If we think f familiarity as smething that can expand, we can cnsider changing the cnditins in and arund ur lives t make mre space fr ur preferences t take rt and grw gently. Frm here, we will start t make decisins, drawing frm an ever-deepening pl f valuable ptins.（我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩展的东西，我们可以考虑改变我们生活中的环境，为我们的喜好提供更多的空间，让它生根发芽。从这里开始，我们将从越来越多的有价值的选择中做出决定。）”可知，文章主要讨论了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围，通过改变生活中的条件，为我们的偏好提供更多的空间，使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此，选项D“T gently use it t braden familiarity zne”是对familiarity principle 的最好诠释。鼓励读者在保持熟悉感的同时，逐渐扩展自己的舒适区。故选D。

填词
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的传统食物“皮蛋”的历史以及制作过程。
56.考查介词。句意：皮蛋广受欢迎的关键是它的风味。the key t sth.意为“……的关键”，为固定搭配。故填t。
57.考查形容词最高级。句意：最古老的关于制作皮蛋的已知记录来自明朝，最有可能是起源于湖南省，大约500年前。根据句意以及定冠词the可知，此处应该填形容词最高级ldest。故填ldest。
58.考查副词。句意同上。分析句子结构可知，此处需要副词作状语。故填rughly。
59.考查时态和主谓一致。句意：传统的腌制工艺仍然被一些现代工厂使用，用来制作红茶、石灰、盐和木灰的混合物。本段用一般现在时介绍皮蛋的制作过程，因主语是单数名词prcess，所以此处用is。故填is。
60.考查定语从句。句意：新鲜的蛋被包裹在一个厚厚的糊状物里，放置大约五个月。分析句子结构可知，此处是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词是paste，因此关系代词用which。故填which。
61.考查非谓语动词。句意：在市场上被售卖之前，被涂上糊状物的蛋接着被包裹在稻壳里。修饰名词eggs应该用非谓语动词作定语，动词cat意为“给……涂上，用……覆盖”，egg与cat之间是逻辑上的被动关系，所以此处应填过去分词作定语。故填cated。
62.考查非谓语动词。句意：在市场上被售卖之前，被涂上糊状物的蛋接着被包裹在稻壳里。介词befre后应该用动名词作宾语，而主语eggs和动词sell之间是逻辑上的被动关系，所以此处应填动名词的被动形式。故填being sld。
63.考查名词。句意：在出售时，它们有一层大约四分之一英寸厚的涂层，看起来有点像保存完好的恐龙蛋。根据不定冠词an可知，此处应填单数名词。appearance表示“外表，外观”。故填appearance.
64.考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：像世界上许多其他食物一样，这种不同寻常的方法是在家用冰箱出现之前被创造出来的保存食物的一种方式。分析句子结构可知，句子的主语是单数名词apprach，句中缺少谓语,根据“in the days befre husehld refrigeratrs”可知，此处用一般过去时；再根据句意可知，此处表达被动关系。故填was created。
65.考查冠词。句意：虽然皮蛋的保质期非常长，但是它们不会真的保存一个世纪。结合句意可知，此处表示“一个世纪”，所以此处用不定冠词；actual的发音以元音音素开头。故填an。

Fr many years, scientists thught that Guimaraes actually met up a site in western Brazil that was discvered later. Hwever, the advanced architecture described by Guimaraes is absent there. This has made the Lst City f Z mre f a fantasy. But is it? In the last five years, nearly 100 ancient ruins have been discvered in the Amazn regin thrugh new technlgy.
