【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四门课程的情况。

24．B 25．B 26．C 27．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了罗素·卡塞瓦（Russell Cassevah）从小热爱乐高，成年后甚
至创造了赤脚在乐高积木上行走的世界纪录。之后，他决定用乐高做更有意义的事情，创建了非营利组
织“小砖块慈善机构”（LittleBricks Charity），致力于向全国的儿童医院捐赠乐高积木，给住院儿童带去
快乐。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“he quit his day job and began traveling the country to deliver free
Legos to children’s hospitals through the nonprofit he created, LittleBricks Charity(他辞去了日常工作，并开始
通过他创立的非营利组织LittleBricks Charity，在全国各地向儿童医院免费赠送乐高积木)”可知，Cassevah
辞去了日常工作，开始通过他创建的非营利组织LittleBricks Charity向儿童医院免费赠送乐高积木。因此，
Little Bricks Charity的使命是给住院儿童赠送乐高积木。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据文章第四段中 Hewitt的妈妈Christen Sluyter所说的话“You could tell that Cassevah
really cared about the kids and was there to bring smiles and encouragement. It was wonderful to watch him and
Hewitt building and laughing,” added Hewitt’s mom, Christen Sluyter.(“你可以看出，Cassevah非常关心这些孩
1
学科网（北京）股份有限公司子，他想给他们带来笑容和鼓励。看着他和Hewitt一起搭建乐高、开怀大笑，真是太好了，” Hewitt的
妈妈Christen Sluyter补充道)”可知，Cassevah非常关心孩子们，并给他们带去微笑和鼓励。因此，可以推
断出Cassevah是一个有爱心的人。故选B。
26．词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段中划线词前面的内容“More than anything, we laughed and had fun.
Hewitt knew a lot about the bricks and even taught me a few things. (最重要的是，我们笑了，玩得很开心。
Hewitt知道很多关于乐高的知识，甚至还教了我一些东西)”以及划线词所在的句子“My time with him
reinforced my feeling that I’m on the right path(和他在一起的时光让我更加reinforced自己走在了正确的道
路上)”可知，Hewitt知道很多关于乐高的知识，甚至还教了Cassevah一些东西，因此与Hewitt在一起的时
间加强了Cassevah觉得自己走在正确道路上的感觉。因此，可以推断出“reinforced”在此处的意思是“加
强、巩固”，选项C“Strengthened.(增强，加强)”与其意思相近。故选C。
27．主旨大意题。通读全文文章主要讲述了 Cassevah从小热爱乐高，成年后创造了赤脚在乐高积木上行
走的世界纪录，之后他决定用乐高做更有意义的事情，于是辞去了工作，开始通过他创建的非营利组织
向儿童医院捐赠乐高积木。因此，D选项“From Walking on Legos to Donating Them(从在乐高上行走到捐
赠它们)”符合文章标题。故选D。
28 C 28.D 30.A 31.A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了中国科学家李波教授及其团队的研究发现：大脑中的杏仁
核区域与食欲有关，特定神经元会促使小鼠过度进食高脂肪或高糖食物。李教授团队正探索控制这些神
经元的方法，以期开发出副作用更小的肥胖治疗新策略。
28．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A region of the brain called the amygdala (杏仁核) is responsible for
powerful emotions like fear. Now, researchers have found the region may also be to blame for overeating.( 大脑
中一个被称为杏仁核的区域负责像恐惧这样强烈的情绪。现在，研究人员发现，该地区也可能是暴饮暴
食的罪魁祸首)”可知，研究关注的是大脑杏仁核区域与过度进食之间的关系，即大脑与食欲之间的联系。
故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Switching these neurons off reduced overeating and protected
against obesity. It also boosted the animals’ physical activity, leading to weight loss and better health.(关闭这些
神经元可以减少暴饮暴食，防止肥胖。它还促进了动物的身体活动，导致体重减轻，更健康)”可知，当杏
仁核中的特定神经元被关闭时，小鼠不再被高脂肪和高糖食物吸引，而且它们的身体活动增加，健康状
况得到改善。因此，选项D“They increase physical activity and get better health.(它们增加身体活动并获得更
好的健康)”符合题意。故选D。
30．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“Li and his team are exploring ways to control the neurons that
cause hedonic eating. The next step, he says, is to map out how these neurons respond to different types of food
2
学科网（北京）股份有限公司and see what makes them so sensitive. (李和他的团队正在探索控制导致享乐性进食的神经元的方法。他说，
下一步是绘制出这些神经元对不同类型食物的反应，看看是什么让它们如此敏感)”可知，李教授和他的团
队正在探索控制导致享乐性进食的神经元的方法，下一步是绘制出这些神经元对不同类型食物的反应，
并找出使它们如此敏感的原因。因此，选项A“Know more about specific neurons in the amygdala.(了解更多
关于杏仁核中特定神经元的信息)”符合题意。故选A。
31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Therapeutics targeting these neurons could lead to new treatments for
obesity with minimal side effects. (针对这些神经元的治疗方法可能会带来副作用最小的肥胖新疗法)”以及
““Identifying the brain neurons that controls eating is important for developing better treatment options for
people who struggle to control their weight.”(“确定控制饮食的大脑神经元对于为控制体重而挣扎的人开发
更好的治疗方案非常重要。”)”可知，文章最后一段主要讲述了研究的意义，即针对这些神经元的治疗可
能为肥胖提供新的、副作用最小的治疗方法，确定控制进食的大脑神经元对于为那些难以控制体重的人
开发更好的治疗方案很重要。因此，选项A“The significance of the study.(研究的意义)”概括本段主要内容。
故选A。
32．B 33．C 34．C 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过实验发现，大山雀在移民到新环境时会通过观察和模
仿当地鸟类行为，快速学习并适应新环境中的有效觅食策略，这为动物社会学习理论提供了实验证据。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“An experiment on great tits (大山雀) has pinpointed a single factor —
immigration — that can cause birds to pay close attention to others, leading them to rapidly adopt useful
behaviors.(对大山雀进行的一项实验准确地指出了一个单一因素——移民——这一因素能让鸟类更加关注
其他个体，从而迅速采用有用的行为)”可知，迁移可以让鸟类密切关注其他鸟类，从而让它们迅速采取有
33．推理判断题。根据第三段中“They created experimental social groups of wild-caught great tits. Each
group was provided with a “tutor” which was trained to access food from a puzzle box by either pushing the
door left or right, so that their flock mates learned to prefer using one solution over another.(他们创建了由野生
捕获的大山雀组成的实验性社交小组。每个小组都配备了一位“导师”，这些导师被训练通过向左或向
右推门来从谜箱中获取食物，从而使它们的群体伙伴学会更倾向于使用某一种解决方案)”可知，“导师”
是经过训练以特定方式打开谜箱获取食物的鸟，目的是让它们的群体伙伴学习并偏好使用某一种解决方
案，由此可知，“导师”的角色是示范行为。故选C。
34．细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Not only did immigrants see that residents were opening the puzzle
box in a new way, but in some groups, the newcomers also discovered that residents scored a superior reward by
doing so.(迁移过来的大山雀不仅看到大鸟笼里的大山雀用新的方式打开谜盒，而且在一些小组中，迁移
过来的大山雀还发现大鸟笼里的大山雀这样做会获得更高的奖励)”可知，这些迁移过来的大山雀观察到的
3
学科网（北京）股份有限公司既有打开谜盒的方法又有打开谜盒的奖励。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段““In nature, animals are often moving from one environment to another, so
it’s helpful to have a strategy to remove bad behaviors and learn good behaviors to use in the new place. Our
study provided the experimental evidence to show that this is also what happens in real life,” Chimento said.(“在
自然界中，动物经常从一个环境迁移到另一个环境，因此有一套策略来摒弃不良行为并学习可以在新环
境中使用的好行为是非常有帮助的。我们的研究提供了实验证据，表明这实际上也是现实生活中发生的
情况，”Chimento说道)”可知，社会学习可以帮助新来的动物更快地适应新环境，去除不良行为并学习好
的行为，即社会学习有利于迁移者更快地适应新环境。故选D。

38.A 设空处是本段的主旨句。空后句提到要想在困难时期继续前进，你需要学会如何管理你的压力水

第二节 (满分25分)
Possible version:
I spent the next two decades keeping my limb difference hidden at all times. I’d keep my hand in my pocket,
cover it with extra-long sleeves or tuck it behind bags or underneath jackets. In my mind, I had decided that my
missing hand made me extremely ugly and that if people knew about it they would not want to be around me
anymore. I internalised this self-loathing, .and it only strengthened over the years, When I finally realized I was
not thriving, I was determined to stop it.
The journey of hiding to unhiding was hard, but the efforts were rewarding. I learned that being
comfortable with myself made other people more comfortable as well. Talking about my struggles gave them
permission to talk about theirs as well, and I was able to bond on a deeper level with a much larger group of
people. For 25 years, I’ve worked in non-profit organisations working with young people. Accepting my disability
has sparked a passion in me to educate others about disability as part of diversity, through public speaking and
writing.

do you go to now?
M: I’m volunteering at a law firm. I dream of becoming a lawyer and have learned some skills by working there.
I’m sure such experience can help make my dream come true one day. What about you?
W: I think participating in the same activity as someone else often means you have a shared interest that can make
the participants easier to become friends. I always go to the school sports center. I can meet many new people who
love playing sports. We also organize various activities to promote friendship.

W: Hey, Bob. What happened to your left leg?
M: I hurt my ankle. It’s really painful.
W: I’m sorry to hear that. How did that happen?

couldn’t get through. Fortunately, a passerby saw me and offered to drive me to the hospital.
W: Oh, poor you.
M: The doctor said I should stay in bed, but I have to make a living by serving the dishes in a restaurant.
W: Don’t worry. You’ll be better soon. You know, I broke my leg three years ago.
M: Really? How did you break it?
W: I had a bad motorbike accident on the way to the supermarket.
M: Sounded terrible.
W: Yeah, it was. I didn’t go out for eight weeks. I was in hospital for three weeks and then I had to stay at home
for five weeks.
M: So your leg is OK now, right?

M: Good evening, everyone, Today is Sunday, May 7th. I’m your old friend Henry Brown. Now let’s learn about a
whale trapped in an illegal fishing net yesterday. The whale was spotted by a ship. A diver on the ship dived into
the sea to help. He discovered the whale was completely trapped in the red fishing net so she could not even
open her mouth. After initial attempts to cut the net from a boat failed, some divers from two diving centers
joined the effort. For the first ten seconds, the whale got a bit nervous, but then she knew the divers were there
to help her and she just relaxed. The rescuers started working from the front of her mouth backwards. They kept
cutting and cutting. Finally, the whale struggled a while and then set herself free. But she didn’t leave
immediately. She stayed for a bit to regain her strength in the company of the divers. Then before she left, she
even gave what looked like a little thank-you sign. That’s all for tonight’s program. Thank you for listening.
