I heard some good news recently. My 91-year-old grandfather called me to test his new
hearing aid. For the first time in a long time, he could hear my voice. It thrilled us both.
I soon found out there was another reason my grandparents were so happy - - - their new
audiologist(听觉病矫治专家), Anna. Unlike the previous providers they'd been dealing with,
Anna gave time and attention. Anna not only ensured the new hearing aid worked as it should,
but also offered to go to my grandparents' apartment to show them how to use it.
Such kindness might sound rare, but I've since started wondering: What if it's more common
than we think?
It started with some research that showed people often underestimate the willingness of
strangers to engage with, or even befriend them. Then I came across a study that suggested news
coverage of current affairs tends to be more negative than positive because humans tend to give
negative events more attention.
Negative stories can attract our attention and prepare us for disappointment. But if we don't
engage with positive ones, they might lead us to be more critical of the world, more defensive and
less hopeful than we need to be.
So 1 think sometimes what we hear, see, or even know might not be the whole picture. The
truth might be hidden from us, requiring us to notice and discover it. We could start by asking
ourselves whether we are focusing more on negative or positive stories and whether we are letting
negative news surround us. Maybe even paying more attention to good news or making a point of
sharing good news will help.
Anna's attitude was remarkable. She went beyond the call of duty and, upon leaving, refused
to accept anything but words as thanks.
Why not remind ourselves that, for all of the bad that's in the world and in the news, behind
the scenes, in people's ordinary lives, lie untold stories of extraordinary good.
24. What made the author's grandparents particularly happy besides the new hearing aid?
A. The author's voice. B. The improvement of his health.
C. Thè successful test of the hearing aid.D. The kindness of their new audiologist.
25. How was Anna different from previous audiologists?
A. She offered her patients personal assistance.
B. She paid little attention to her patients' needs.
C. She displayed more patience and professionalism.
D. She refused to accept payment for the hearing aid.
26. What is the author's suggestion when we face news reports?
学科网(北京)股份有限公司A. To avoid negative news. B. To focus more on positive stories.
C. To question all news reports critically. D. To believe only in personal experiences.
27. What is the best title of this passage?
A. Uncover the Good. B. Refuse the Negative.
C. Pay Attention to the Truth. D. Discover the Extraordinary.

A recent study from the Research Institute at McGill University Health Center may improve
the treatment of sleep disorders and neurological (神经病学的) conditions.
Scientists have made significant progress in understanding sleep mechanisms, identifying the
melatonin receptor(褪黑素受体) MT1 as a key regulator of REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.
This discovery holds promise for new treatments for sleep disorders and neurological conditions.
REM sleep is crucial for dreaming, memory consolidation, and emotional regulation.
DuringREM sleep, the neurons quiet down and stop their activity. Serious conditions such as
Parkinson's disease and Lewy body dementi— which currently lack effective treatment— are linked
to disruptions(扰乱) in REM sleep.
“This discovery not only advances our understanding of sleep mechanisms but also holds
significant medical potential,” said Gobbi, a Professor of Psychiatry at McGill University.
Human sleep unfolds in a precise order of non-REM and REM stages, each serving distinct
physiological functions. REM sleep plays a key role in memory consolidation and emotional
regulation. Non-REM sleep supports physical recovery and repair processes. Disruptions in this
cycle can damage cognitive function and increase risk to neuropsychiatric diseases.
Until now, the specific receptor triggering REM sleep had puzzled scientists. The new study
has identified the melatonin MT1 receptor as an important regulator of this sleep stage. Using a
novel drug targeting MT1 receptors, researchers successfully enhanced REM sleep duration in
experimental animals, while reducing neuronal activity at the same time.
“Currently, there are no drugs specifically targeting REM sleep. Most hypnotic(催眠的)
drugs on the market, while extending total sleep duration, tend to negatively affect REM sleep,”
said Dr. Stefano, a Professor at McGill University.
Further research into the neurobiology and pharmacology of REM sleep is crucial for
developing targeted treatments that could improve the quality of life for patients affected by these
diseases. As scientists continue the research, the hope for effective treatment in neurological
disorders grows increasingly promising.
28. What recent discovery about sleep mechanisms was made by researchers at McGill University
Health Center?
A. New methods for measuring sleep duration and quality.
B. The new role of current hypnotic drugs in sleep regulation.
C. The melatonin receptor MT1 as a key regulator of REM sleep.
D. The new connection between sleep patterns and sleep disorders.
29. What can be inferred about REM sleep according to paragraph 3?
A. It is the stage where physical recovery occurs.
B. It is crucial for physical and mental health.
C. It helps regulate body temperature.
D. It is the longest sleep stage in the cycle.
30. What is the current status of drug treatments targeting REM sleep?
A. Many effective drugs are available on the market.
B. No drugs specifically target REM sleep currently.
C. All hypnotic drugs enhance REM sleep.
D. REM sleep drugs have been banned.
31. What potential effect does the discovery of the MT1. receptor have?
A. It could lead to new treatments for sleep disorders.
B. It could contribute to improving attention and memory.
C. It will free patients of sleep disorders once and for all.
D. It will accelerate patients' physical recovery processes.

If you've ever poured yourself some iced tea on a hot summer's day, you know that icy
goodness doesn't stick around for long. That's because ice doesn't do well in heat. Those same
laws
that govern your iced tea also govern the rest of the world. Ice, when confronted by heat, will
melt, whether it's a cube, or the ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.
A new study published today in Science Advances finds that if we burn all of the remaining
fossil fuels on Earth, almost all of the ice in Antarctica will melt, potentially causing sea levels to
rise by as much as 200 feet---enough to drown most major cities in the world.
Fossil fuels are considered non-renewable resources and consist of coal, oil, and natural gas.
They release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when burned. Greenhouse gases trap heat from
the sun in the Earth's atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise.
“Our findings show that if we do not want to melt Antarctica, we can't keep taking fossil fuel
carbon out of the ground and just dumping it into the atmosphere,” climate scientist and co-author
of the paper Ken Caldeira said in a press release. “Most previous studies of Antarctica-have
focused on loss of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Our study demonstrates that burning coal, oil,
and gas also risks loss of the much larger East Antarctic ice sheet.”
Luckily, there are alternatives. This particular watery end can be avoided if energy use is
directed away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy options like wind and solar.
And there's no need to head for the hills just yet. Even the most extreme cases of sea level
rise aren't likely to happen for a few thousand years. The authors predict that sea levels will creep
up as ice in the polar regions melts, at a rate of a little over an inch per year. So if we want cities to
avoid the fate of the boiled frog, we'd better jump on some climate solutions soon.
32. What will happen if we burn all the fossil fuels on Earth?
A. Sea level will rise to 200 feet.
B. Ice sheets in Greenland will melt in an instant.
C. Most of the cities in the world will be drowned.
D. Nearly all of the ice in Antarctica will disappear.
33. Which of the following statements may Ken Caldeira agree with?
A. We could take fossil fuel carbon out of the ground.
B. Burning coal, oil and gas will affect most of the ice sheets.
C. More studies should focus on burning fossil fuels on Earth.
D. The East Antarctic ice sheet melts faster than that of other places.
34. What does the underlined phrase“creep up” mean in Paragraph 6?
A. Disappear rapidly. B. Fall constantly.
C. Rise gradually. D. Freeze slowly.
35. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To introduce a study. B. To make a prediction.
C. To explain a phenomenon. D. To arouse public concern.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项
中有两项为多余选项。
English literature is an essential component of English language learning and is
widely acknowledged as a vital source of authentic content for language development.
学科网(北京)股份有限公司English literature, so to speak, is a too complex subject to learn. 36 With so many
things to keep track of, it can feel overwhelming to even decide where to start.
However, you can take some steps to help you achieve your goals.
Examine what you already know.
Write out all the details you can remember from your first reading of the text, as
well as anything you remember from your course lectures. Don't“cheat” by looking at
your notes or your text. 37 This will be your starting base and will reveal any gaps
in your knowledge.
Consider the structure of your text.
38 In many cases, the form and structure of the text will have some kind of
influence on its subject matter. If you' re reading fiction, think about the order in which
the events are recounted. If you' re reading poetry, think about the form of the poetry.
39
You can do it after reading through the text for the second time. This will make
future review easier, as you will have a rough summary to work from. You don't have
to summarize every little thing that happens in a chapter or act. Aim to note the main
action of each one, as well as any important character or thematic moments.
Make flash cards.
If you' re having trouble remembering things, make yourself some flash cards.
40 Flash cards are especially helpful for memorizing things such as literary terms and
character names. However, they may be less helpful for remembering more complex
information.
A. Summarize the main points.
B. This is particularly important for poems.
C. Remember some important statements made.
D. But many students end up having to study it.
E. Just write down what you are confident you remember.
F. Sometimes, the transfer of learning material will be of great help.
G. The way an author expresses her or his ideas is often as important as the ideas
themselves.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
One day, Andrew, a CEO of a big company, went to a pizza restaurant for lunch. He ran into an old beggar
at the counter, whose smelly clothes made him annoyed. Andrew said some dirty and unfriendly words to him,
but the old beggar was not mad at it or didn't feel any embarrassed. On the contrary, the old beggar sincerely
apologized to Andrew for his rudeness. Ignoring the kind apology, Andrew was still angry about the unpleasant
meeting. Andrew ordered a pizza quickly and found a seat to sit. To Andrew's surprise, he found the old beggar
approached him and sat down in front of him. Andrew disappointedly looked around, only to find the shop was so
popular that there was no empty chair except the opposite chair. It seemed that he had to tolerate sharing the table
with him.
After being aware of the situation, Andrew boiled with anger and lowered his head to force himself to
concentrate on his work. Soon the waitress walked towards them, holding a freshly-baked pizza in her hand and
put it on their table. Andrew was about to reach for one when the old beggar grabbed one and took a big bite of it.
Andrew's anger increased and he couldn't believe there was such a shameless(无耻的) man in this world. No
matter how angrily Andrew looked at the beggar with burning eyes, the old beggar still went on enjoying his pizza.
Andrew was totally overwhelmed by his anger. He snatched(夺走) the plate, took one slice and bit it as a revenge(报
复). Andrew tried to finish it quickly, because he wanted to finish all of them and leave none to the shameless old
guy. However, choosing to pay no attention to it, the old beggar pulled the plate over and continued to chew
another slice.
What the old beggar did urged Andrew to speed up no matter whether he finished his in the mouth. As long
as Andrew finished one, he would take away another very quickly and put it into his mouth. In Andrew's mind,
that was more like a competition.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Shortly afterwards, there was only one piece left on the plate.
It was then that Andrew realized he had mistaken the beggar's pizza for his own.
