A. To create natural daylight.
B. To enable visitors to watch.
C. To put night animals to sleep.
【答案】18. B 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】M: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the city zoo’s newest show, World of Darkness. Here is a new
world of night animals to you. Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night
animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was
open to visitors. But in the 1960s, zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo in New York city found a way to settle this problem
and develop the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with white light at night.
Then the animals think the white light is daylight, so of course they go to sleep. During the day, their living places
are lit with red light, which makes the animals think it is at night so that they will be active. On the other hand, the
red light enables visitors to watch these animals going about the normal activities at night. So just enjoy your visit
to the World of Darkness and enjoy watching these amazing animals of the night. And remember, next month is the
opening of World Down Under, a new show of Australian animals. Are you looking forward to learning about
Australian animals in person? Well, you are lucky, just please come and join us for that event.

Fang Li, a 70-year-old director and producer, hit the headline with The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru.
Late in September 1942, the Japanese military transported over 1,800 British prisoners of war from Hong
Kong to Japan by ship. In the waters off Dongji Island, it was torpedoed (被 鱼 雷 击 中 ) by a US
submarine.
Fishermen from Zhoushan risked their lives to save 384 POWs. Fang was shocked. “How had we in China never
heard of the Lisbon Maru? We know of the Titanic, but no one here ever mentioned the Lisbon Maru.” This
mystery aroused Fang's curiosity, leading him to begin the search for the ship in 2016. During the journey, Fang
learned of 94-year-old Lin Agen, the sole surviving fisherman to have participated in the rescue, and of a
98-year-old British soldier, Dennis Morley, who survived the ordeal. “I t felt like a race against time . We had to
document their stories before it was too late,” Fang says.
Fang launched a search for more survivors and their families. He placed ads in British newspapers like The
Sunday Times and The Guardian. “People thought I was crazy — “Who even reads newspapers anymore? they
第 8页/共 26页said. But I knew that the elderly, like myself, still do,” Fang says. The campaign was a success, leading to BBC
Radio 4 inviting him on a show, which in turn connected him with 380 POW families.
On Aug 23, The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru premiered on Dongji Island, where the tragedy occurred. Fang
wrote on his WeChat moments:“We finally showed the documentary on Dongji Island, the very place where our
ancestors performed their heroic acts 82 years ago. I also received the honorary title of ‘Dongji Island Citizen’ —
a privilege I treasure deeply.”

Scientists have made an amazing discovery deep underground in South Africa. They found tiny living
creatures called microbes in a rock estimating to be 2 billion years old! This rock was found almost 50 feet below
the surface in a special place called the Bushveld Igneous Complex. This finding is very exciting because it shows
the oldest known living microbes found in such extreme conditions, much older than any other microbes found
before.
The leader of the research team, Yohey Suzuki, said, “We didn't know if 2-billion-year-old rocks were
habitable. Until now, the oldest geological layer in which living microorganisms had been found was a
100-million-year-old deposit beneath the ocean floor, so this is a very exciting discovery.”
The rock sample was about 1 foot long and came from an area known for having a lot of valuable minerals.
This area was formed when hot magma (岩浆) cooled down slowly underground. Because the rocks have stayed
mostly the same for billions of years, they created safe little spaces, or cracks, where microbes could live and thrive.
第 10页/共 26页To make sure that the microbes they found were really from the old rock and not just something that got mixed
in later, the scientists used some special tools to study them. They used three different methods called electron
microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy to look closely at the microbes’ DNA and proteins,
and were able to show that the microbes were alive and that they had lived in that rock for a very long time.
Finding these ancient microbes helps scientists understand how life can exist even in extreme conditions. The
researchers hope that by studying these ancient microbes, they can learn more about how life began on Earth and
how it evolved over time. They are also curious to see if this can help them find signs of life on other planets, like
Mars.
28. Why was the discovery of microbes thrilling?
A. Because it proves the 2-billion-year-old rocks were inhabitable.
B. Because it discovers the oldest known living microbes in the world.
C. Because it reveals the world deep under the Bushveld Igneous Complex.
D. Because it uncovers a 100-million-year-old deposit beneath the ocean floor.
29. What made it possible for microbes to survive?
A. The extreme weather. B. The melting magma.
C. The stable conditions. D. The diverse minerals.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on?
A. The microbes they discovered. B. The discoveries they made.
C. The research methods they applied. D. The organisms they mixed.
31. What may these ancient microbes help researchers to learn in the future?
A. The inhabitability of the Mars. B. The signs of life in severe conditions.
C. The DNA and proteins of other species. D. The emergence and evolution of life.
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D

Aspects of your personality can be revealed in a heartbeat, literally, a new study from Germany suggests. The
study identified heartbeat “signatures”— wave patterns in the heart's electrical activity —that were linked with
personality traits.
People with certain heartbeat signatures scored higher on tests of neuroticism (神经过敏) — meaning these
第 12页/共 26页individuals tend to experience more negative emotions, such as anxiety and a depressed mood, and fewer positive
emotions, including happiness and cheerfulness.
The study involved 425 university students ages 18 to 33. The students completed personality tests, and had
their heart electrical activity measured using electrocardiography (心电图). “With this method, we have found
something that is perhaps more accurate, and more relatable, than many other measures of personality,” said study
researcher Stefan Koelsch, a professor of biological psychology at the Freie University Berlin.
The results suggest such heartbeat signatures may provide a more objective way to measure personality than
current methods, the researchers say. Personality is commonly assessed using questionnaires, but these may suffer
from bias — people may choose responses that they think are more acceptable for their gender, or they may
misunderstand their own traits.
Researchers may also be able to identify heartbeat signatures that are characteristic of certain emotional
disorders, such as depression, or of cardiovascular diseases, Koelsch said. Such signatures could one day help
diagnose these disorders, or identify people at risk for them, he said.
Previously, Koelsch and colleagues found a link between certain heart electrical activity patterns and people
with “cold” personalities, who tend not to show emotion. In the new study, similar patterns were seen among those
with high scores in neuroticism and low scores in positive emotion, like compassion and empathy.
Although Koelsch suspects that this type of electrical pattern is not particularly healthy, future research is
needed to confirm this. Eventually, Koelsch hopes to be able to see whether certain interventions, such as listening
to music or watching films, change emotional states and the heart's electrical activity, he said.
32. What does “signatures” refer to in Paragraph 1?
A. The scores of neuroticism tests. B. People’s personality traits.
C. The researchers’ written names. D. The wave patterns of your heart.
33. What do researchers think about the common assessment of personality?
A. It is more objective and much healthier.
B. It is likely to be prejudiced and misunderstood.
C. It is based on heart electrical activity measures.
D. It is more accurate and more relatable to people.
34. According to the study, what can be learned about “cold” people?
A. They tend to score lower in neuroticism tests.
B. They tend to suffer from cardiovascular disease.
第 13页/共 26页C. They tend to be less compassionate and empathetic.
D. They tend to gain higher degrees in positive emotions.
35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Heartbeats hint your personality traits.
B. Heartbeat signatures heal depression.
C. Heartbeats change your emotional states.
D. Heartbeats indicates the electrical activity.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A

How to Improve Math Skills
There’s no doubt that math is tough. By building up your skills and practicing every day, you can make math a
little less frustrating and have a higher chance of success. Use these tips and tricks during school, while you’re
studying.
Practice math in everyday situations.
___36___. For example, if a sweater that’s regularly $38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price?
($26.60). Or if you need to double a recipe that calls for 3/4 cup of flour, how much flour will you need? (1.5 cups).
Or, if you plan to hike a new trail that’s 7 miles long and it takes you 20 minutes to walk a mile, how long should
you plan for your hike to take? (2 hours and 20 minutes).
Use mental math if you can.
Doing math in your head can help you remember key concepts. ___37___. However, math basics like addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division are ones you can do in your head. If you come across an easy problem, do
it in your mind first before resorting to a calculator. If you’re worried about your mental math skills, you can
always double check your answer on your computer.
___38___
You can find tons of example problems online. If you’re going over a concept, look it up and try 2 to 3
problems on your own. Check the answers to figure out if you got them right, and study the concept again if you
didn’t. Your teacher might also be able to give you some extra example problems if you ask for them. ___39___
This will give you an overall sense of what you’ll need to do to find the solutions.
Teach math problems or concepts to someone else.
Learning by teaching someone is a great way to solidify concepts. Invite a friend or family member over and
explain to them what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. If you get stuck, review your notes or textbook again
第 15页/共 26页until you can explain it clearly and concisely. Have your friend or family member ask you questions, too. ___40___
A. Seek help from your teacher.
B. Practice with example problems.
C. Math plays an important role in our life.
D. Make math part of your daily life to practice it.
E. Try to answer them as best as you can to really practice.
F. You’d better identify which skills and concepts you’ll need to solve the problems.
G. Some problems, like geometry or calculus, require a pencil and paper to get started.
【答案】36. D 37. G 38. B 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要就如何提高数学技能提出了一些建议。
【36 题详解】
根据后文“For example, if a sweater that’s regularly $38 is on sale for 30% off, what is the sale price? ($26.60).
Or if you need to double a recipe that calls for 3/4 cup of flour, how much flour will you need? (1.5 cups). Or, if
you plan to hike a new trail that’s 7 miles long and it takes you 20 minutes to walk a mile, how long should you
plan for your hike to take? (2 hours and 20 minutes).(例如，如果一件平时售价 38 美元的毛衣降价 7 折，那么售
价是多少？（26.60 美元）。或者如果你的食谱需要 3/4 杯面粉，那么你需要多少面粉呢？（1.5 杯）。或者，
如果你计划徒步旅行一条 7 英里长的新路线，而你走一英里需要 20 分钟，你应该计划徒步旅行多长时间？
（2 小时 20 分钟）)”可知，后文主要列举了毛衣、面粉和行程的数学问题，即将数学融入日常生活的计算
中。故 D 选项“让数学成为你日常生活的一部分来练习它”符合语境，故选 D。
【37 题详解】
根据后文“However, math basics like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are ones you can do in
your head. If you come across an easy problem, do it in your mind first before resorting to a calculator. If you’re
worried about your mental math skills, you can always double check your answer on your computer.(然而，像加法、
减法、乘法和除法这样的数学基础是你可以在头脑中做的。如果你遇到一个简单的问题，在使用计算器之
前，先在心里做一下。如果你担心你的心算能力，你可以在电脑上反复检查你的答案)”可知，后文提到了
可以心算的数学类型，推测本句是在说明需要笔算的数学问题。故 G 选项“有些问题，如几何或微积分，
需要纸和笔才能开始”符合语境，故选 G。
【38 题详解】
根据本段内容“You can find tons of example problems online. If you’re going over a concept, look it up and try 2
第 16页/共 26页to 3 problems on your own. Check the answers to figure out if you got them right, and study the concept again if
you didn’t. Your teacher might also be able to give you some extra example problems if you ask for them.(你可以
在网上找到大量的示例问题。如果你正在复习一个概念，你可以自己查一下，试着做 2 到 3 道题。检查一
下你的答案是否正确，如果没有，再复习一下这个概念。你的老师也可能会给你一些额外的例题，如果你
问他们)”可知，本段主要说明了通过示例问题来复习概念，B 选项中 example problems 对应后文 example
problems。故 B 选项“用例题练习”符合语境，故选 B。
【39 题详解】
根据上文“Your teacher might also be able to give you some extra example problems if you ask for them.(你的老
师也可能会给你一些额外的例题，如果你问他们)”以及后文“This will give you an overall sense of what you’
ll need to do to find the solutions.(这将给你一个整体的感觉，你需要做什么来找到解决方案)”可知，后文提
到了思考需要做什么来找到解决方案，推测解决例题之前先思考需要哪些方式来解决问题。故 F 选项“你
最好确定你需要哪些技能和概念来解决问题”符合语境，故选 F。
【40 题详解】
根据上文“Learning by teaching someone is a great way to solidify concepts. Invite a friend or family member
over and explain to them what you’re doing and how you’re doing it. If you get stuck, review your notes or
textbook again until you can explain it clearly and concisely. Have your friend or family member ask you questions,
too.(通过教学来学习是巩固概念的好方法。邀请朋友或家人过来，向他们解释你在做什么以及你是怎么做的。
如果你卡住了，再复习一遍笔记或课本，直到你能清晰简洁地解释它。让你的朋友或家人也问你问题)”可
知，上文提到让你的朋友或家人也问你问题，本句为本段最后一句，故承接上文，说明如何应对这些问题，
E 选项中 them 对应上文 questions。故 E 选项“尽你所能地回答这些问题，以便真正地练习”符合语境，故
选 E。

67. 阅读下列材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Benjy and I were working in the yard together one afternoon. It was during a summer between college terms, a
time of uncertainty for my son. Benjy wanted to follow in my footsteps as a musician, but he was impatient for
success. Talented as he was, often he took up one thing and his passion faded. I ached for him and wished I could
say something.
Taking a break, Benjy looked around our 15 acres with its stream, its trees, and its rolling grass. “This place is
beautiful,” he said. “How did you get it?”
I had long expected Benjy to ask about this, so I told him the story of the land.
Gloria and I were teaching in a town where I had grown up. We wanted land so we could build a house to
welcome our first baby. I noticed a parcel south of town where cattle grazed (吃草). It belonged to a 92-year-old
retired banker named Mr. Yule, who owned a lot of land inthe area, but was selling none of it. He gave the same
speech to everyone who inquired. “I promised the farmers they could use it for their cattle.”
Nevertheless, despite being turned down so many times, Gloria and I persisted in visiting him at the bank,
第 24页/共 26页where he still spent his days. Then one day, after we claimed our names and intention, Mr. Yule looked up from his
paper, pursed his lips and stared. “Gaither. Bill Gaither. Are you any relation to Grover Gaither?”
“Yes, sir. He was my granddad.”
Mr. Yule put down his paper and removed his glasses. Then he pointed to a couple of chairs, and we sat down.
“Grover Gaither was the best worker I ever had on my farm, patient and persistent in everything,” he said.
“Showed up early, stayed late, did whatever needed doing and never had to be told.” Mr. Yule squinted, his eyes
distant with the memory. “What’d you say you wanted, Gaither?”
I told him again.
“Let me do some thinking on it, then come back and see me.”
注意：
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Para1: We were in his office again within a week.

【答案】
Para 1: We were in his office again within a week. To our surprise, Mr. Yule greeted us warmly and informed
us of his decision. “I’ve thought about it, Gaither. I’ll sell you that parcel of land,” he said with a firm voice,
handing us the terms of the sale. The price was unexpectedly reasonable, and we were overjoyed. Before we could
thank him, Mr. Yule added, “Your granddad taught me that good things come to those who are patient and
persistent. I see the same quality in you.” With hard work and determination, we eventually built our home on that
第 25页/共 26页land, which marked the beginning of countless cherished memories.
Para 2: I nodded at Benjy, “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” Benjy looked thoughtful as he
processed my words. “So, it’s not just about talent, but also about sticking to something and working hard for it?”
he asked. I smiled, sensing a breakthrough. “Exactly, son. Success doesn’t come overnight. It’s about staying
dedicated even when things get tough.” That afternoon, we kept working silently in the yard, but I could sense a
shift in Benjy’s attitude. Later that evening, he played his guitar with renewed passion, as if he had rediscovered his
purpose and the value of perseverance.
