【原文】
W: White T-shirts are very common in our daily life. But do you know the history of the white T-shirts Well, white cotton T-shirts were first worn by the US Navy and by 1948, every American soldier was wearing one too. But it was Hollywood films that made the T-shirt really popular: actors Marlon Brando and James Dean wore classic white T-shirts in On the Waterfront and Rebel Without a Cause. After these films, every young man wanted to wear one. Women didn’t begin to wear T-shirts until the end of the 1950s. In the 1959 French film Breathless, American actress Jean Seberg wore a T-shirt advertising an English language newspaper. This started a new fashion for T-shirts for women. Later, the T-shirt became a way of saying something important. For example, soon after the black American leader Angela Devis went to prison in 1970, people all around the world were wearing T-shirts with the message “Free Angela”. In the 1970s, French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent designed a famous blue T-shirt with his name in white letters.

When I started my own business, I thought I had it all figured out. When I made the decision to change my lifestyle and get fit, I thought I was on the right track. And when I purchased a second business, I knew I was doing the right thing. Slowing down never occurred to me.
But something was wrong. My Apple watch buzzed repeatedly in the night, warning me that my heart rate was over one hundred. My body ached, my head pounded, and no matter how much I exercised, I was losing strength.
When I visited the doctor, the first thing she asked was “How’s your stress level ” I shrugged. “Nothing new or out of the ordinary.” But something was happening in my body. A multitude of tests and blood work revealed I had Graves’ disease, with symptoms that include accelerated heart rate, high blood pressure, physical anxiety, tiredness, and muscle weakness.
For the next week, I re-read online articles indicating that stress management played a part in controlling Graves’ disease. And I made a list of everything I was juggling(兼顾). My calendar was filled with online marketing, photo shoots, website design, and copywriting. I barely had time to blink, let alone relax.
It was hard to decide which were the most important and do them first. I examined the juggling act and tried to decide what to let go of. I bid farewell to clients, explaining I was cutting back and lightening my workload. When asked to speak at events or take on new projects, I said “No.” And I found someone to help me plan that big event.
Until then, I didn’t realize how much I’d missed the simple joys—little things that helped me relax and recharge, like long hikes, taking my dog to the park, visiting my favorite bookstore, and sitting on the back porch to watch the sunrise. I know my limits and when it’s time to stop juggling. I’ve learned to be kind to myself. I start each day with meditation(冥想) and end with gratitude.
24．What did the author think about his own stress level
A．Mild. B．Serious.
C．The slightest. D．Same as usual.
25．How did the author feel about his health condition after going to see a doctor
A．Concerned. B．Puzzled.
C．Relieved. D．Curious.
26．What did the author do after he was diagnosed with the Graves’ disease
A．He quit his job.
B．He went abroad to watch the sunrise.
C．He slowed down his life pace.
D．He never got involved in any big event.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Live Life to the Fullest
B．More Haste and Less Speed
C．Watch Your Weight When Necessary
D．Stop Rushing and Put Something Down
【答案】24．D 25．B 26．C 27．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述的是自己的个人经历，作者曾经拼命工作，最后当健康出现问题时，作者才明白自己错过了太多。
24．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When I visited the doctor, the first thing she asked was “How’s your stress level ” I shrugged. “Nothing new or out of the ordinary.” (当我去看医生时，她问的第一件事是“你的压力水平如何？”我耸了耸肩。“没有什么新奇或不寻常的。”)”可知，作者觉得自己的压力水平一如往常。故选D。
25．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“For the next week, I re-read online articles indicating that stress management played a part in controlling Graves’ disease. And I made a list of everything I was juggling(兼顾). My calendar was filled with online marketing, photo shoots, website design, and copywriting. I barely had time to blink, let alone relax.(接下来的一周，我重新阅读了网上的文章，这些文章表明压力管理在控制格雷夫斯病中起了一定作用。我把我要做的事情都列了一个清单。我的日程表被在线营销、照片拍摄、网站设计和文案填满了。我连眨眼的时间都没有，更不用说放松了。)”可知，作者在得知自己患病后，不知道自己为什么会患病，所以查询了相关的资料。所以，得知自己患病后，作者觉得有点困惑。故选B。
26．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“It was hard to decide which were the most important and do them first. I examined the juggling act and tried to decide what to let go of. I bid farewell to clients, explaining I was cutting back and lightening my workload. When asked to speak at events or take on new projects, I said “No.” And I found someone to help me plan that big event.(很难决定哪些是最重要的，并先做它们。我审视着自己所做的事情，试图决定放开什么。我向客户告别，解释说我正在削减工作，减轻工作量。当被要求在活动上发言或接受新项目时，我说“不”。我找到了一个人帮我策划那个大活动。)”可知，作者开始减轻工作量，放慢自己的生活节奏。故选C。
27．主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Slowing down never occurred to me. (我从来没想过慢下来。)”以及最后一段“Until then, I didn’t realize how much I’d missed the simple joys—little things that helped me relax and recharge, like long hikes, taking my dog to the park, visiting my favorite bookstore, and sitting on the back porch to watch the sunrise. I know my limits and when it’s time to stop juggling. I’ve learned to be kind to myself. I start each day with meditation(冥想) and end with gratitude.(直到那时，我才意识到我错过了多么简单的快乐——帮助我放松和充电的小事情，比如长途远足，带我的狗去公园，去我最喜欢的书店，坐在后门廊上看日出。我知道我的极限，知道什么时候该停止工作。我学会了善待自己。我以冥想开始每一天，以感恩结束每一天。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述的是，作者曾经忙于自己的事业，从未想过慢下来。后来身体健康出现了问题，作者最终意识到自己错过了很多，开始放下手头的生活，开始了自己的慢生活。所以“More Haste and Less Speed(欲速则不达)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。
C
Two women in their 50s stand beholding in front of Guanyin of the South China Sea, an ancient Chinese sculpture in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the past 20 years, they have been visiting the museum, describing the “mother Buddha” as “beautiful and tranquil, a symbol of religious traditions in China”. Measuring 2.4 meters high, 1.68 meters wide and 1.1 meters thick, the larger-than-life sculpture was carved from the trunk of a single poplar tree, which has created a sense of calm and warmth in the hall.
Since its launch in 1933, the museum has been actively collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting works of Chinese art, ranging from ceramics to furniture, and from paintings to sculptures. And its Chinese art collection contains masterpieces in various historical stages.
An exhibition on the theme of Lively Creatures—Animals in Chinese Art was held at the museum, displaying tens of Chinese ancient paintings with images of animals in many art forms. The creatures on the paintings represented celebration, personal messages, and even political and religious agendas.
Organizers of the exhibition produced a set of cards, with images of animals on one side and their cultural meanings in Chinese artistic tradition on the other. The cards are provided for visitors for free.
“I find it very interesting, and the way that the things are drawn is very cool,” says 17-year-old high school student Camden Lombard after visiting the exhibition. “I want to go to China someday to find more,” he adds.
“It’s kind of eye-opening and we’re bringing the world together,” says Makar, an educator with the school outreach and education programs of the museum. “There are so many similarities as well as beautiful differences, and we are just trying to understand and appreciate one another.”
“We’re in a moment when it’s sometimes hard to look outside of your own personal viewpoints,” says Howard, manager of volunteer engagement at the museum. “I think having access to seeing what other cultures have created, what they valued and appreciated, and what was important to them, is really important in building that understanding about all the people we share this planet with.”
28．The two women kept visiting the Nelson-Atkins Museum for ________.
A．the grand appearance of the exhibition hall
B．their affection for Chinese religious traditions
C．the great size of the ancient Chinese sculpture
D．their curiosity about the delicate artistic carving
29．What can we learn about the exhibition Lively Creatures
A．The organizers gained a handsome profit.
B．The cards reflected multinational cultures.
C．The visitors had rich travel experiences in China.
D．The paintings displayed the charm of Chinese culture.
30．How does Makar describe the visit to the museum
A．Instructive and romantic. B．Imaginary and fascinating.
C．Informative and multicultural. D．Educational and entertaining.
31．What’s the purpose of setting up the museum according to Howard
A．To bridge different cultures. B．To popularize religious symbols.
C．To exchange personal viewpoints. D．To demonstrate Chinese paintings.
【答案】28．B 29．D 30．C 31．A
【导语】本文是说明文。文章通过描述博物馆的展览，阐述了博物馆在不同文化之间架起来沟通的桥梁，帮助不同文化增进欣赏和理解。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段的“Two women in their 50s stand beholding in front of Guanyin of the South China Sea, an ancient Chinese sculpture in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the past 20 years, they have been visiting the museum, describing the “mother Buddha” as “beautiful and tranquil, a symbol of religious traditions in China”.(密苏里州堪萨斯城纳尔逊-阿特金斯艺术博物馆里，两名50多岁的妇女站在中国南海观音前凝视。在过去的20年里，她们经常参观这座博物馆，称“妈祖”“美丽宁静，是中国宗教传统的象征”。)”可知，这两位女士不断参观纳尔逊-阿特金斯博物馆，是因为她们热爱中国宗教传统，故选B。
29．推理判断题。根据第三段内容“An exhibition on the theme of Lively Creatures—Animals in Chinese Art was held at the museum, displaying tens of Chinese ancient paintings with images of animals in many art forms. The creatures on the paintings represented celebration, personal messages, and even political and religious agendas.(博物馆以“活泼的生物——中国艺术中的动物”为主题举办了一场展览，展出了数十幅中国古代绘画作品，其中动物形象以多种艺术形式出现。画上的生物代表庆祝、个人信息，甚至政治和宗教议程。)”和第四段“Organizers of the exhibition produced a set of cards, with images of animals on one side and their cultural meanings in Chinese artistic tradition on the other. (展览组织者制作了一套卡片，一边是动物的图像，另一边是它们在中国艺术传统中的文化意义。)”可推断，Lively Creatures—Animals in Chinese Art展览展出的绘画展示了中国文化的魅力。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“‘It’s kind of eye-opening and we’re bringing the world together,’ says Makar, an educator with the school outreach and education programs of the museum. ‘There are so many similarities as well as beautiful differences, and we are just trying to understand and appreciate one another.’(“这有点让人大开眼界，我们把世界连在了一起，”负责博物馆学校外展和教育项目的教育工作者马卡尔说。“我们有很多相似之处，也有很多美丽的不同点，我们只是在努力理解和欣赏彼此。”)”可知，马卡尔认为博物馆的展览让人大开眼界，不同的文化有相似也有不同，增进彼此的理解和欣赏。因此推断他认为参观博物馆是信息丰富并且多元化的。故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据最后一段Howard说的话“I think having access to seeing what other cultures have created, what they valued and appreciated, and what was important to them, is really important in building that understanding about all the people we share this planet with. (我认为，有机会了解其他文化创造了什么，他们重视和欣赏什么，以及对他们来说重要的是什么，这对于建立与我们共享这个星球的所有人的理解非常重要。)”可知，Howard认为通过参观博物馆可以让人们了解其他文化，因此推断他认为建立博物馆可以在不同文化之间架起桥梁。故选A。
D
If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably will give up.
Now researchers have made progress in understanding how mammals’ brain encodes social rank and uses this information to shape behaviors — such as whether to fight for the last pizza slice. They discovered that an area of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was responsible for representing social rank in mammals; changes to a mouse’s mPFC affected its dominance behavior. But it was unknown how the mPFC represented this information and which neurons(神经元) were involved in changing dominance behaviour.
In the new study, Professor Kay Tye let groups of four mice share a cage. Some mice became more dominant and others more subordinate. As soon as the mice were paired up, he discovered, the activity of their mPFC neurons could predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank of their opponent.
“We expected animals might only signal rank when they are in a competition,” says co-researcher Nancy. “But it turns out animals walk around with this representation of social rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict — a full 30 seconds before the competition started — which mouse would win the food reward.
The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged in a winning mindset. Just as you might sometimes be in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more winning mindset than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.
The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and winning mindset are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in winning mindset. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one.
“This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye.
32．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To provide background information.
B．To state the importance of social rank.
C．To give readers an example of social rank.
D．To introduce the topic of the reading passage.
33．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to
A．The mPFC neurons. B．The researchers.
C．The brain activity patterns. D．The changes in behaviour.
34．What can we learn from the new study
A．Brain activities can influence social rank.
B．Dominant opponents boost winning mindset.
C．Social rank and winning mindset affect behaviour.
D．Animals only exhibit their rank in competition.
35．What can we infer from the passage
A．Winning mindset establishes dominance.
B．Social rank guides competitive behaviour.
C．A subordinate mouse can never been a winner.
D．Awareness of different people around you make your brain use different neurons.
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．C 35．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员对大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域如何参与改变支配行为的研究，得出结论：处于“胜利心态”的人更容易成为具有统治力的人，意识到周围不同的人会让你的大脑使用不同的神经元。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister—you might just grab the pizza. Your boss—you probably will give up. But if you’re hungry and feeling particularly confident, you might go for it. ” (如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨，同时看到另一只手在拿，你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。如果是你妹妹——你可能就去拿披萨。如果是你的老板——你可能会放弃。但是如果你饿了并且感觉特别自信，你可能会去拿披萨。)结合之后文章提出大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域负责代表哺乳动物的社会地位，可知作者写第一段是为了引出一个主要话题。故选D项。
33．词句猜测题。根据第五段“When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict—a full 30 seconds before the competition started—which mouse would win the food reward. ” (当研究人员再次询问mPFC神经元的活动是否与行为有关时，他们发现了一些令人惊讶的事情。大脑活动模式与行为的轻微变化有关，例如老鼠移动的速度，它们还可以在比赛开始前整整30秒预测哪只老鼠会赢得食物奖励。)可知研究人员发现大脑活动模式与行为密切相关，划线部分的“they”指的是大脑活动模式。故选C项。
34．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and “winning mindset” are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in “winning mindset”. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and “winning mindset” may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one. ”( mPFC中与社会地位和“获胜心态”相关的区域彼此相邻，高度相关。社会等级的信号会影响“获胜心态”的大脑状态。换句话说，当面对占优势的老鼠时，从属老鼠的信心和“获胜心态”可能会部分下降。)可知社会地位和获胜心态可能会影响心态，从而影响行为。故选C项。
35．推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably will give up. ” (如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨，同时看到另一只手在拿，你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。如果是你妹妹——你可能就去拿披萨。如果是你的老板——你可能会放弃。)；再根据倒数第一段““This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye. ” (Tye说，这是进一步的证据表明，当我们和别人在一起时，与我们独自一人时相比，我们的大脑状态是不同的。)可知，我们大脑的神经元会随着周围不同的人而发生改变。故选D项。

Apps play tricks on you to turn an activity into a habit. It’s not necessarily a bad thing to encourage healthy behaviors such as exercising or playing word games.____36____. Here’s how to recognize when your tech habit might be an unwelcome obsession (着迷), and practical steps for you to take back control.
Do a cost-benefit analysis.____37____That’s why we need to try doubly hard to do self-assessments of how features such as streaks (打卡时间) or leaderboards are helping and hurting us. Think over whether the behavior they inspire in you contributes to or detracts from your welfare.
Build in “cheat days”. They are like days off from a strict diet.____38____It can also help to schedule days off from our habits—whether it’s running, reading the news or scrolling Instagram.
____39____Especially for young people, it can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction. If your teen knows he’s allowed one hour on YouTube at 7 p.m., then he can relax without thinking about when he’ll be able to hop on his favorite app.
____40____Tech companies, schools, social institutions and governments all have a responsibility to help reset standards of technology use. For example, schools have experimented with locking up students’ phones so they can’t use them during the school day. And the government in some countries have restricted the time young people are allowed to spend playing video games or using social media apps.
A．Use digital timers.
B．Schedule a limited amount of time for your habit
C．It’s hard to be mindful of why we do what we do.
D．Limiting tech overuse can’t be only your responsibility.
E．But even a good habit can cross the line into unavoidable overuse.
F．Actually, doing your favorite activity without a goal can be relaxing.
G．However, don’t be so motivated by rewards that you ignore signs your body needs a rest.
【答案】36．E 37．C 38．F 39．B 40．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何认识到你的科技习惯可能是一种不受欢迎的痴迷，以及让你重新控制的实际步骤。
36．空前说“It’s not necessarily a bad thing to encourage healthy behaviors such as exercising or playing word games.(鼓励像锻炼或玩文字游戏这样的健康行为不一定是件坏事。)”，空后说“Here’s how to recognize when your tech habit might be an unwelcome obsession (着迷), and practical steps for you to take back control.(以下是如何认识到你的科技习惯可能是一种不受欢迎的痴迷，以及让你重新控制的实际步骤。)”，空格处应该说有时候好的事情过度了也会变成不好的，E选项“But even a good habit can cross the line into unavoidable overuse.(但即使是一个好习惯也会越界成为不可避免的过度使用。)”说明好的事情做过头了也会变得不好，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选E。
37．空后说“That’s why we need to try doubly hard to do self-assessments of how features such as streaks (打卡时间) or leaderboards are helping and hurting us. Think over whether the behavior they inspire in you contributes to or detracts from your welfare.(这就是为什么我们需要加倍努力地进行自我评估，看看连胜或排行榜等功能对我们是有利还是有害。想想他们在你身上激发的行为是有助于还是有害于你的幸福。)”，空格处应该说要评价我们做的事情是困难的，C选项“It’s hard to be mindful of why we do what we do.(很难注意到我们为什么要做我们所做的事情。)”说明了很难分析我们做的事情，因此C选项引起下文，符合语境，故选C。
38．空前说“They are like days off from a strict diet.(他们就像从严格的节食中解脱出来的日子。)”，空后说“It can also help to schedule days off from our habits—whether it’s running, reading the news or scrolling Instagram.(它还可以帮助我们从我们的习惯中抽出时间——无论是跑步、阅读新闻还是刷Instagram。)”，空格处应该说的是偶尔从严格的习惯中抽离一下的好处，F选项“Actually, doing your favorite activity without a goal can be relaxing.(事实上，没有目标地做你最喜欢的活动是很放松的。)”说明了从严格的习惯中抽离一下可以让人放松，因此F选项承上启下，符合语境，故选F。
39．空后说“Especially for young people, it can be helpful to plan in advance activities that might be a distraction.(尤其是对年轻人来说，提前计划一些可能会分散注意力的活动是很有帮助的。)”，空格处应该说要提前安排事情，B选项“Schedule a limited amount of time for your habit(为你的习惯安排有限的时间)”说明了要安排，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选B。
40．空后说“Tech companies, schools, social institutions and governments all have a responsibility to help reset standards of technology use. For example, schools have experimented with locking up students’ phones so they can’t use them during the school day.(科技公司、学校、社会机构和政府都有责任帮助重新制定技术使用的标准。例如，学校已经尝试把学生的手机锁起来，这样他们就不能在上课时间使用手机了。)”，空格处应该说的是要限制使用科技的时间，且这不仅仅是个人的责任，D选项“Limiting tech overuse can’t be only your responsibility.(限制科技产品的过度使用不仅仅是你的责任。)”符合语境，故选D。

The artists of Dafen can paint like Van Gogh
The village of Dafen was once thought ____56____ (produce) the most oil paintings in the world every year. ____57____ (recognize) as the “world’s art factory”, Dafen impressed visitors with its many workshops, in which painters created mock masterpieces by Van Gogh, Monet and Warhol.

【答案】
56．to produce 57．Recognized 58．than 59．whether 60．when 61．coming 62．a 63．consumption 64．But 65．has declined
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“世界艺术工厂”大芬村的相关信息。因为金融危机的影响以及国内艺术品市场的扩大，推动了大芬艺术形式上的多样性，但在从事相关职业的人的眼里，大芬的定位仍不明确。
56．考查不定式。句意：大芬村曾被认为是世界上每年生产油画最多的村庄。分析句子可知，此处是固定搭配be thought to do sth.，意为“被认为做某事”。故填to produce。
57．考查非谓语动词。句意：大芬被誉为“世界艺术工厂”，众多的工作室给游客留下了深刻的印象，画家们在这里模仿梵高、莫奈和沃霍尔的杰作。分析句子可知，主语Dafen与非谓语动词recognize之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此需使用过去分词表示被动，且位于句首时首字母大写。故填Recognized。
58．考查固定搭配。句意：但这个村庄与其说是一个文化场所，不如说一直被视为一个生产线。分析句子可知，此处是固定短语more...than...，意为“与其说……不如说……”，用于同一个人或物在两个不同性质或特征等方面的比较。故填than。
59．考查宾语从句连接词。句意：如今，大芬的未来可能取决于它能否赢得艺术界的尊重。分析句子可知，该句为宾语从句，且从句中不缺少成分，但缺乏“是否”含义，故填whether。
60．考查定语从句关系词。句意：2008年，全球金融危机导致海外订单减少，大芬的情况开始发生变化。分析句子可知，该空引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为时间2008，关系词在从句中作时间状语，因此需使用关系副词when。故填when。
61．考查非谓语动词。句意：随着国内市场需求的增加，艺术家们开始画不同的主题。分析句子可知，此处是with复合结构，demand和come之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此需使用现在分词表示主动，作宾补。故填coming。
62．考查冠词。句意：大芬的一位画家说，新客户更喜欢中式风格。分析句子可知，此处表示泛指“一位画家”，且painter是以辅音音素开头的单词，因此需使用不定冠词a进行修饰。故填a。
63．考查名词。句意：随着出口占GDP的比重开始下降，国内消费在推动经济增长方面发挥着更大的作用。分析句子可知，形容词domestic (国内的)后接名词，不可数名词consumption作主语。故填consumption。
64．考查连词。句意：但目前尚不清楚大芬的定位。分析句子可知，“中国是世界上第二大艺术品市场”与“大芬的定位仍不清楚”之间是转折关系，因此需使用表示转折关系的连词，且位于句首，首字母应大写。故填But。
65．考查动词时态。句意：但当地人表示，在过去疫情肆虐的两年里，对他们画作的需求有所下降。分析句子可知，根据时间状语in the past two pandemic-struck years (在过去疫情肆虐的两年里)，谓语动词decline应使用现在完成时，主语the demand for their paintings抽象概念，谓语单数形式。故填has declined。

Ahmad sat at a table in the school cafeteria. The election for fifth-grade class president was only about two weeks away, and Ahmad knew it was time to begin seriously campaigning.
“I think you need a catchy slogan, ” said his friend，twirling(旋转)a pencil as he thought. “How about Authentic and Approachable: Always Ahmad ”Ahmad beamed. “It’s got a nice ring to it.”
“You need something that people will remember. They won’t forget that Olivia was the fourth-grade president last year and they’ll like the fact that she has experience, “his friend added. Ahmad nodded, grinning. “I know, but I think I can bring some fresh ideas. Do you know Olivia’s plans for the campaign ”
Olivia, meanwhile, sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister. They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make. At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors, markers, pens, colored pencils, and crayons.
“Where should we start ” asked her sister ,brushing the cream from her hands. “What do you want people to know about you ” Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. “I want them to know I’m a hard worker,“ she said, eyes bright and alert. “I have experience as class president. I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year.” “Experience is truly important,” commented her sister. “Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company.”
An enormous grin spread across Olivia’s face. “What about Olivia for President-All Original, All Experience,” suggested her sister. “Oh, or Olivia for President, Opportunity for All “ “I like both of those, ”exclaimed Olivia.“ The first one reminds the voters of my experience. The second one lets them know I will listen to their ideas and work for and with them. ”Her words fell as she took out a fat red marker and began the first poster.

Paragraph 2:Ahmad went to the front of the room to begin his speech after Olivia.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Two weeks later on the election, Ms. Pond announced, “Now, we have two candidates with same votes.”Now that the two candidates are tied on the ballot, let’s have a further campaign. Olivia went on stage first to give a speech, but surprisingly he was in a wheelchair. “Because of my injury, I have decided to withdraw from the campaign,” he said. “Why is this happening ” Ms. Pond asked. The classmate who pushed the wheelchair beside him said, “He is trying to save a classmate, so he can’t walk because of his foot injury. He needs to rest for a period of time to recover.” All the people present applauded for the former helpful fourth-grade president, including Ahmed.
Ahmad went to the front of the room to begin his speech after Olivia.“Olivia is a great class president ,” Ahmed said tearfully. “His behavior deeply touched our hearts. Each of us should learn from his noble spirit of sacrificing oneself to save others.” I want to learn from the best. I suggest that Olivia stay on as fifth-grade president when she gets well again. I’d be happy to be his assistant, if he doesn’t mind. It was a thunderous ovation, and both men deserved it. The two men embraced and smiled in a warm round of applause.

When I started my own business, I thought I had it all figured out. When I made the decision to change my lifestyle and get fit, I thought I was on the right track. And when I purchased a second business, I knew I was doing the right thing. Slowing down never occurred to me.
But something was wrong. My Apple watch buzzed repeatedly in the night, warning me that my heart rate was over one hundred. My body ached, my head pounded, and no matter how much I exercised, I was losing strength.
When I visited the doctor, the first thing she asked was “How’s your stress level ” I shrugged. “Nothing new or out of the ordinary.” But something was happening in my body. A multitude of tests and blood work revealed I had Graves’ disease, with symptoms that include accelerated heart rate, high blood pressure, physical anxiety, tiredness, and muscle weakness.
For the next week, I re-read online articles indicating that stress management played a part in controlling Graves’ disease. And I made a list of everything I was juggling(兼顾). My calendar was filled with online marketing, photo shoots, website design, and copywriting. I barely had time to blink, let alone relax.
It was hard to decide which were the most important and do them first. I examined the juggling act and tried to decide what to let go of. I bid farewell to clients, explaining I was cutting back and lightening my workload. When asked to speak at events or take on new projects, I said “No.” And I found someone to help me plan that big event.
Until then, I didn’t realize how much I’d missed the simple joys—little things that helped me relax and recharge, like long hikes, taking my dog to the park, visiting my favorite bookstore, and sitting on the back porch to watch the sunrise. I know my limits and when it’s time to stop juggling. I’ve learned to be kind to myself. I start each day with meditation(冥想) and end with gratitude.
24．What did the author think about his own stress level
A．Mild. B．Serious.
C．The slightest. D．Same as usual.
25．How did the author feel about his health condition after going to see a doctor
A．Concerned. B．Puzzled.
C．Relieved. D．Curious.
26．What did the author do after he was diagnosed with the Graves’ disease
A．He quit his job.
B．He went abroad to watch the sunrise.
C．He slowed down his life pace.
D．He never got involved in any big event.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Live Life to the Fullest
B．More Haste and Less Speed
C．Watch Your Weight When Necessary
D．Stop Rushing and Put Something Down

Two women in their 50s stand beholding in front of Guanyin of the South China Sea, an ancient Chinese sculpture in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri. Over the past 20 years, they have been visiting the museum, describing the “mother Buddha” as “beautiful and tranquil, a symbol of religious traditions in China”. Measuring 2.4 meters high, 1.68 meters wide and 1.1 meters thick, the larger-than-life sculpture was carved from the trunk of a single poplar tree, which has created a sense of calm and warmth in the hall.
Since its launch in 1933, the museum has been actively collecting, preserving, studying and exhibiting works of Chinese art, ranging from ceramics to furniture, and from paintings to sculptures. And its Chinese art collection contains masterpieces in various historical stages.
An exhibition on the theme of Lively Creatures—Animals in Chinese Art was held at the museum, displaying tens of Chinese ancient paintings with images of animals in many art forms. The creatures on the paintings represented celebration, personal messages, and even political and religious agendas.
Organizers of the exhibition produced a set of cards, with images of animals on one side and their cultural meanings in Chinese artistic tradition on the other. The cards are provided for visitors for free.
“I find it very interesting, and the way that the things are drawn is very cool,” says 17-year-old high school student Camden Lombard after visiting the exhibition. “I want to go to China someday to find more,” he adds.
“It’s kind of eye-opening and we’re bringing the world together,” says Makar, an educator with the school outreach and education programs of the museum. “There are so many similarities as well as beautiful differences, and we are just trying to understand and appreciate one another.”
“We’re in a moment when it’s sometimes hard to look outside of your own personal viewpoints,” says Howard, manager of volunteer engagement at the museum. “I think having access to seeing what other cultures have created, what they valued and appreciated, and what was important to them, is really important in building that understanding about all the people we share this planet with.”
28．The two women kept visiting the Nelson-Atkins Museum for ________.
A．the grand appearance of the exhibition hall
B．their affection for Chinese religious traditions
C．the great size of the ancient Chinese sculpture
D．their curiosity about the delicate artistic carving
29．What can we learn about the exhibition Lively Creatures
A．The organizers gained a handsome profit.
B．The cards reflected multinational cultures.
C．The visitors had rich travel experiences in China.
D．The paintings displayed the charm of Chinese culture.
30．How does Makar describe the visit to the museum
A．Instructive and romantic. B．Imaginary and fascinating.
C．Informative and multicultural. D．Educational and entertaining.
31．What’s the purpose of setting up the museum according to Howard
A．To bridge different cultures. B．To popularize religious symbols.
C．To exchange personal viewpoints. D．To demonstrate Chinese paintings.
D
If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably will give up.
Now researchers have made progress in understanding how mammals’ brain encodes social rank and uses this information to shape behaviors — such as whether to fight for the last pizza slice. They discovered that an area of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was responsible for representing social rank in mammals; changes to a mouse’s mPFC affected its dominance behavior. But it was unknown how the mPFC represented this information and which neurons(神经元) were involved in changing dominance behaviour.
In the new study, Professor Kay Tye let groups of four mice share a cage. Some mice became more dominant and others more subordinate. As soon as the mice were paired up, he discovered, the activity of their mPFC neurons could predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank of their opponent.
“We expected animals might only signal rank when they are in a competition,” says co-researcher Nancy. “But it turns out animals walk around with this representation of social rank all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict — a full 30 seconds before the competition started — which mouse would win the food reward.
The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged in a winning mindset. Just as you might sometimes be in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more winning mindset than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.
The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and winning mindset are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in winning mindset. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one.
“This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye.
32．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To provide background information.
B．To state the importance of social rank.
C．To give readers an example of social rank.
D．To introduce the topic of the reading passage.
33．What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to
A．The mPFC neurons. B．The researchers.
C．The brain activity patterns. D．The changes in behaviour.
34．What can we learn from the new study
A．Brain activities can influence social rank.
B．Dominant opponents boost winning mindset.
C．Social rank and winning mindset affect behaviour.
D．Animals only exhibit their rank in competition.
35．What can we infer from the passage
A．Winning mindset establishes dominance.
B．Social rank guides competitive behaviour.
C．A subordinate mouse can never been a winner.
D．Awareness of different people around you make your brain use different neurons.

Ahmad sat at a table in the school cafeteria. The election for fifth-grade class president was only about two weeks away, and Ahmad knew it was time to begin seriously campaigning.
“I think you need a catchy slogan, ” said his friend，twirling(旋转)a pencil as he thought. “How about Authentic and Approachable: Always Ahmad ”Ahmad beamed. “It’s got a nice ring to it.”
“You need something that people will remember. They won’t forget that Olivia was the fourth-grade president last year and they’ll like the fact that she has experience, “his friend added. Ahmad nodded, grinning. “I know, but I think I can bring some fresh ideas. Do you know Olivia’s plans for the campaign ”
Olivia, meanwhile, sat at her kitchen table with her twin sister. They were eating cupcakes while discussing what to put on the signs they planned to make. At the center of the table were posterboard in bright colors, markers, pens, colored pencils, and crayons.
“Where should we start ” asked her sister ,brushing the cream from her hands. “What do you want people to know about you ” Olivia raised her head and thought for a moment. “I want them to know I’m a hard worker,“ she said, eyes bright and alert. “I have experience as class president. I also have a lot of ideas of making this a great school year.” “Experience is truly important,” commented her sister. “Dad once told me he would vote for someone who had proven to be the kind of leader he was looking for in his company.”
An enormous grin spread across Olivia’s face. “What about Olivia for President-All Original, All Experience,” suggested her sister. “Oh, or Olivia for President, Opportunity for All “ “I like both of those, ”exclaimed Olivia.“ The first one reminds the voters of my experience. The second one lets them know I will listen to their ideas and work for and with them. ”Her words fell as she took out a fat red marker and began the first poster.
