第I卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

ANeed a fall fix? Try one from these great places.1. Mackinac Island, MichiganThe only way to reach this famed car-free island is by boat and ferry, and once visitors arrive, they’re attracted by the history, scenery and fall colors. “It’s a throwback to years past, a little town, and there’s a big state park as well,” Blackwell says. “You’re allowed to have boats all around the island.”2. Tellico Lake, TennesseeWith nearly 400 miles of shoreline, this waterway flowing out of the Great Smoky Mountains is largely unexploited, well-protected in its natural state. Fall visitors find a range of colors reflecting in the clean waters, says Blackwell, who vacationed in the area with his family as a child. “The thick forest there just allows you to see more greenery and wildlife.”3. Dillon Reservoir, ColoradoWith an hour from Denver, this lake is home to what claims to be the nation’s highest sailing club, at an altitude of more than 9,000 feet. Marinas in the towns of Dillon and Frisco make it easy to get out on the water and to see the bright yellows and golds of fall leaves. “People are surprised that there’s boating in Colorado, and you can see the mountains just before the snowfall,” Blackwell says.4. Lake Monroe, IndianaThe state’s largest lake is surrounded by more than 13,000 acres of protected forest and three recreation areas, making it an ideal place to see fall colors, particularly from oaks and the tulip poplar, the state tree. “It’s a gem （宝石）in southern Indiana,” says Blackwell, who grew up in the area. “There are lots of different activities: canoeing, kayaking and fishing.”A.It’s like a modern city.B.Visitors can’t take boats around it.C.Visitors can see various wildlife there.D.Visitors can’t go there by cars.22.Which is suitable for someone looking for an undeveloped place for vacation？A.Mackinac Island, MichiganB.Tellico Lake, TennesseeC.Dillon Reservoir, Coloradoke Monroe, Indiana23.What do the four places have in common?A.Blackwell once travelled there .B.They are all famous tourist destinations.C.They are surrounded by thick forests.D.Visitors can enjoy fall colors thereBWhen HarmonyOS, the Chinese self-developed operating system for Huawei mobile devices, was released on Aug 9, it quickly became a hot topic on social media. Many believe it not only represents the rise of the country as a tech power, but also shows respect to classical Chinese culture by naming the system “Hongmeng” in Chinese.“Hongmeng” is a classical word from Zhuangzi. In the ancient times of Chinese legend and myths (神话), “Hongmeng” was used to describe the original state of the universe before matter existed. For HarmonyOS, “Hongmeng” indicates the developers’ aim to make an innovative operating system, unlike any other.Besides “Hongmeng”, Huawei has also registered many of its products under the names of legendary creatures from Chinese myths. For example, the company’s Kirin mobile chip got its name after a lucky monster called “Qilin”. And its server chip is called “Kunpeng”, a creature that changed from a fish into a giant bird.Many Chinese internet users and media have praised Huawei’s use of these names, “as they stand for Chinese wisdom and anci ent people’s imagination and spirit of exploration”, Global Times noted.In fact, Huawei is not alone in using traditional culture for modern ventures. Ne Zha, the new film, also portrays traditional culture in a modern context. The movie is loosely based on the well-known work of classical Chinese myth The Investiture of the Gods. Earlier this month it became the biggest animated movie in China and was called “the glory of domestic anime(国产动漫)”.Indeed, the long history and splendid classic works have given China a profound culture. Myths and legends are the creative works of tremendous imagination. As Global Times put it, today by revisiting a modern context, “ancient myths has the power to inspire imagination in young people”. After all, imagination is the beginning of creation.224.What do we know about HarmonyOS?A.Its release raised a storm of objections.B.It is named after a creature in myth.C.It combines high technology and culture.D.It’s the best operating system.25.Which of the following best expl ains “innovative” underlined in Paragraph 2?A. creativeB. modernC. popularD. intelligent26. How do the public think of Huawei’s use of the names?A. Confused.B. Unexpected.C. Approving.D. Doubtful.27.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.The film Ne Zha is not adapted from myths.B.The film Ne Zha is a big hit.C.More businesses follow Huawei’s leadD.Ancient myths is a good choice for entertainmentCPeople who sleep fewer than six hours a night are more likely to die early, researchers in University of Warwickhave found in a recent study. They discovered that people who slept for less than six hours each night were 12% more likely to die before the age of 65 than those who slept the recommended six to eight hours a night.The researchers pointed out that previous studies had shown that the lack of sleep was associated with problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. However, the researchers also found that sleeping too much was linked to an early death. Those who slept for more than nine hours a night were 30% more likely to die early, as an article in the latest Sleep suggested. That directly contradicts another passage in the same journal last month suggesting that people who slept for ten hours or longer a night were more likely to live to 100. This was thought to be because people who lived into extreme old age were healthier and therefore slept better.However, the authors of the latest research contradicted this and suggested that long sleep was a sign of underlying illnesses such as depression and low levels of physical activity. Professor Francesco Cappuccio at the University of Warwick said: “While short sleep may represent a cause of ill-health, long sleep is believed to represent more an indicator of ill-health.”He also mentioned: “Modern society has seen a gradual reduction in the average amount of sleep people take, and this pattern is more common among full-time workers, suggesting that it may be due to social pressures for longer working hours. On the other hand, the worsening of our health is often accompanied by an extension of our sleeping time.”“Consistently sleeping six to eight hours per night may be good for health. However, whether to achieve the goal depends on various factors such as the environment as well as measures of public health aimed at favourable changes of the working environments,” Professor Francesco Cappuccio added.28.What did researchers in University of Warwickhave find?A.People who sleep fewer than 6 hours each night die before 65.B.Sleeping for more than 9 hours a night does good to one’s health.C.Six to eight hours’ sleep can be appropriate for people.D.People at an old age are healthier because they sleep longer.29.What is Professor Francesco Cappuccio most likely to agree with?A.Long sleep is what causes our health problems.B.Modern people sleep less because they work longer.C.Our health becomes worse because we sleep less.D.How long we sleep depends on our education.30.What did the researcher think may help people have proper sleep?A.Social pressure.B.Longer working hours.C.Extension of sleeping time.D.Changes of working environments.31.What can be the best title for this passage?A.How Long Should We SleepB.Longer Sleep Makes Better HealthC.Time to Sleep EarlyD.The Importance of SleepDImagine a school where self-awareness is celebrated, students are encouraged to solve maths problems by writing on the walls and applying learned lessons to real life is more important than homework. These are a few of the concepts that make Space of Mind School unique.Located in a home built in 1896 in Florida, US, the program serves students in grades 2 through 12 and will accept kindergarten students next year. It also offers an afterschool program for students who attend traditional schools, as well as evening programs for adults and educators and weekend events for families.There is a different atmosphere from that of a traditional school building. Tables and brightly colored walls are white boards. In the science room, students are studying climate changes at a weather station, while in the music room, a student is solving an equation(等式) with his academic coach while he connects music theory and maths.The daily schedule at the school also stands out. “We don’t assign boring or exhaust ing homework,” said Space of Mind founder and CEO Ali Kaufman. “Instead of homework, we ask that they go home and take a video of themselves applying a lesson they learned or cooking a meal for their family that they learned how to make at school.”For lunch, instead of traditional cafeteria dishes such as pizza, the school offers organic meals made out of products from local gardens and farms. “Our students also run a business at the Delraybusiness,” Kaufman said.“We are also the first school program in Florida to start and end each day with 15 minutes of meditation(冥想),” Kaufman said. “The positive results we have been seeing in the students from meditation are amazing. We are really about infusing social, emotional and creative skills with academic and life skills.”32.Space of Mind School _________________________.A.assigns no homework.B.urges students to use what they learn.C.teaches students to earn money in class.D.focuses on knowledge learning.33.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A.Yoga enjoys great popularity in US.B.The practice of meditation is amazing.C.The meditation session lasts 15 minutes daily.D.The students benefit from meditation.34.The underlined word “infusing” in the last paragraph probably means_______.A. emphasizingB. checkingC. developingD. helping35.What is the text mainly about?A.What makes Space of Mind School outstanding.B.Why Space of Mind School is popular in US.C.How the after-class programs of Space of Mind School are organized .D. How Space of Mind School cultivates students’ life skills.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

一、现代文阅读（33分）（一）现代文阅读I（本题共4小题，18分）阅读下面的文字，完成1～4题。

材料一：今天，文化产业内部结构迎来重大变化，与数字技术和互联网相关的文化领域出现了爆发式增长，我国文化产业开始向“数字创意产业”转型发展。

2018年1月，文化部出台首个针对数字文化产业的文件《关于推动数字文化产业创新发展的指导意见》，提出优化数字文化产业供给结构，促进优秀文化资源数字化，推进数字文化产业与相关产业融合发展，扩大和引导数字文化消费需求等发展方向，全面推动“互联网+文化”的新业态、新模式的发展。

展望未来，伴随数字人文时代的来临，我们将在“全数字化”环境中从事人文研究与传播，在“全人文化”环境中从事数字技术的开发与应用。

数字人文还处在萌芽期，对此我们要建立统一竞争、开放有序的现代文化市场，以应对新的挑战。

（摘编自《数字人文时代将来临》光明日报）材料二：在近日举办的第四届腾云峰会上，故宫博物院院长王旭东指出，数字时代需要树立共享理念，要利用数字技术把保护成果、研究成果传播出去，让更多的人了解它。

要让文物尽快数字化，建立起实现共享的数据库平台、传播平台。

但这些仅靠文博领域的人是做不到的，需要跨领域合作。

过去3年，故宫博物院和腾讯共同进行了一系列合作与探索，让传统文化以数字形式进入人们的日常生活，如故宫QQ表情、《奇迹暖暖》的故宫传统服饰主题、以故宫南迁历史为素材的原创漫画《故宫回声》、“玩转故宫”地图导览小程序、天天P图——“故宫国宝唇彩”换装和《古画会唱歌》音乐专辑等10多个项目，在年轻人群体中掀起了“国潮”。

A valid student ID card.BWhen Allen invited me to go on a camping trip to the mountains, I imagined a wooden cabin overlooking a lake, with a warm fireplace, hot chocolate, and soft beds. But my happy image became a nightmare when Allen and his older brother, Leo, showed up with a truck filled with camping equipment—tents, sleeping bags, and water bottles. We were going on survival training!Leo was keen to leave the city behind us and urged us to hurry. Several hours later, as we drove through the forest, the mountains seemed bigger than I remembered; the trees were larger, and the environment felt more threatening.At the trailhead, Leo tied a sleeping bag onto my already heavy pack and lectured Allen and me about hiking rules. Then, with Leo in front we set off along the narrow and steep dirt track that wound up the mountains.After 6 hours of climbing, we finally reached the top. My legs were aching and I dropped my pack and groaned but there was no time to rest. “We need to set up camp quickly,” said Leo. “There are dark clouds coming in. A storm’s on its way.”I thought he was kidding, but Leo was quite serious. He and Allen worked expertly, while I stood around and pretended to help, thunder rumbling (发出隆隆声) in the distance. We just finished putting up the tents when it hit. The wind, thunder, and lightning were relentless (持续强烈的).Leo, sensing that I was scared, started telling us some stories about his camping adventures. But each time lightning lit up the tent and the thunder echoed, I jumped. “Don’t worry. Summer storms pass quickly,” Leo said, tryin g to comfort me. “And at least the rain will keep the bears away,” he said with a teasing smile, which was less comforting.And just as quickly as the storm came rushing in, it passed, and we exited the tent. The view was incredible —I could see for miles. As darkness set in, I stared in wonder at the millions of stars glowing in the night sky.I wouldn’t lie—I was still wishing for a hot shower and a soft bed, but as I gazed upward at the Milky Way, I knew this was an adventure I would never forget.24.Why did the author think his happy image became a nightmare?A. Allen had arrived earlier than arranged.B. He saw that Allen was not well prepared.C. He realized their trip would be challenging.D. Allen’s brother was unexpectedly with him.25.Why was it necessary to set up camp immediately after reaching the mountain top?A. It was almost night time.B. The weather was changing.C. They were tired and needed to rest.D. They needed protection from animals.26.What can we know about Leo?A. He is an experienced and capable hiker.B. He is inconsiderate.C. He had known the author for a long time.D. He had not been to this mountain before.27.How did the author feel at the end of the story?A. Tired.B. Optimistic.C. Scared.D. Disappointed.CSleep, considered a luxu ry by many, is essential for a person’s well-being. Researchers have found that insufficient sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (肥胖症), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting sufficient sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationshipbetween sleep and grades when he handed out smartwatches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the wrist-worn devic es, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievements.While Gross’s data showed no relationshi p between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a linear (线性的) relationship between the average amount of sleep the students got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam.Even more interesting, it was not sufficient for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most.When students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in the early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says.“If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or 1 at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours’ sleep. So, quantity isn’t everything.”Perhaps the mo st interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades of students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtime.Who knew getting straight A’s just required some extra sleep?28.Based on his original objective, which best d escribes Professor Gross’s research findings?A. Accidental.B. Complete.C. Convincing.D. Doubtful.29.Who were the people taking part in the study?A. Middle school chemistry students.B. Volunteers from different universities.C. Professor Gross’s own students.D. University student athletes.30.How did Professor Gross’s team measure students’ academic performance ?A. Making the students wear special watches.B. Using students’ university entrance test results.C. Giving the students regular quizzes after class.D. Using the students’ normal test and quiz grades.31.Based on the study’s findings, who is likely to perform best academically?A. A student who has a good night’s sleep the night before an important test.B. A student whose normal bedtime varies between 9 p.m. and 12 p.m.C. A student who sleeps from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day.D. A student who sleeps for a total of 7 hours each night.DHow affordable is high culture? One great myth (错误观念) of our time is that tickets for opera, theatre, ballets and orchestral (管弦乐的) concerts are too expensive, especially for the young. This is infuriating as, in Britain, at least, the claim is ridiculous and offensive. The cheap tickets to hear London’s orchestras range from ￡7 to ￡9—the same as a cinema ticket, and lower than the entry price to many pop music and comedy clubs. For comparison, when the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs with top soloists and conductors the cheapest seat is ￡30; and at the Berlin Philharmonic it’s an expensive ￡46.Finding cheap tickets to the opera and ballet isn’t so easy. Actually, British companies don’t charge the ridiculously high prices found on the Continent (￡2,000 for a good seat at the premiere of La Scala’s Carmen last December), but the tickets are still pretty steep. Large fees paid to star performers mostly account for that. Luckily, however, one spectacular technological innovation has transformed the scene. It’s live cinema transmissions (节目播送). The Metropolitan Opera in New York now beams its shows to 800 cinemas round the world, and British companies aren’t far behind. Cinematic opera is excellent value. For the cost of a good bottle of wine (￡10 or ￡15 for the Royal Opera House’s shows), you can sit in your local movie house and see a high-definition relay of what’s occurring on the world’s grandest stages. No, it’s not the same as being there, but it’s almost as good. The sound is incredible. The images of dancers are fantastic. And you can react to the show as part of a live audience, rather than sitting on your own at home.To me, a mountain of evidence, together with free museum admission, indicates that the arts world should stop worrying that its audiences are still mostly middle-class. Anyone who can afford to visit a pub can also afford to see top-quality drama, music and dance. The real battle now should be ensuring that schoolchildren are given enough tastes of high culture to make them want to buy all those cheap tickets when they grow up.32.What does the underlined word “infuriating” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Quite interesting.B. Very annoying.C. Not certain.D. Extremely obvious.33.What is the main reason for expensive opera tickets?A. The amount of money charged by top performers.B. The costly technology required for broadcasting.C. The demand of companies for big profits.D. The high cost of renting the stages.34.Which of the following is true about cinematic opera?A. People can decide where to watch the opera.B. Audiences are discouraged from responding to the performances.C. It provides an inexpensive way of enjoying a live opera performance.D. The sound and visual quality are superior to the live performance.35.Which statement would the author agree with?A. The quality of opera performances is improving.B. High culture is becoming more affordable in Europe.C. The cost of access to high culture activities should be lowered.D. Children should be encouraged to participate in high culture events.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A phenomenon known as “in-need-of-praise” has taken Chinese social media by storm. Users can now join a chat group on WeChat or QQ, where they will 61 (praise) and gain encouragement from others —for a price. The “in-need-of-praise” chat groups are a reflection of Chinese culture 62 values modesty and humility ( 谦逊), leading many people to often cover their true emotions. In Chinese culture, 63 (open) seeking and giving praise is uncommon. The trend seemed to have started with a chat group on the platform Douban four years ago. Since March many other chat groups 64 (become) popular, especially among young people. For them, gaining recognition from peers is more important than getting approval from older generations. They can feel 65 sense of belonging and gain praise in these chat groups, which is 66 (benefit) to their mental health. It’s also an outlet for users to show 67 (kind) and support each other. Life pressure can be big enough, so we need to be surrounded by warm 68 (word), or even some blind confidence. But anyone 69 (receive) or giving praise in such groups should be cautious. The biggest risk is the constant focus on the “false self,” which makes 70 harder to see the “true self”.61. be praised 62. that/which 63. openly 64. have become 65. a66. beneficial 67. kindness 68. words 69. receiving 70. it深圳市高级中学2020届高三上学期第一次测试第二节 (共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Through the tedious process, restaurateurs lacked a unified platform for efficient management. To bring consistency to the unorganised catering（餐饮）industry, childhood friends Arjun Subramanian and Raj Jain, who shared a passion for innovation, decided to partner in 2019 to explore opportunities in the cafeteria industry.In May 2020, they co-founded Platos, a one-stop solution for restaurants with a custom technology kit to streamline all aspects of cafeteria management. The company offers end-to-end cafeteria management, staff selection and food trials to ensure smooth operations and consistent service. "We believe startups solve real problems and Platos is our shot at making daily workplace food enjoyable again. We aim to simplify the dining experience, providing a convenient and efficient solution that benefits both restaurateurs and customers and creating a connected ecosystem, "says Subramanian, CEO and co-founder.Platos guarantees that a technology-driven cafeteria allows customers to order, pay, pick up, and provide ratings and feedback. It also offers goods and menu management to effectively perform daily operations. Additionally, its applications connect all shareholders for a smart cafeteria experience. "We help businesses that are into catering on condition that they have access to an industrial kitchen setup where they' re making food according to certain standards," Jain states.Since the beginning, Platos claims to have transformed 45 cafeterias across eight cities in the country. Currently, it has over 45,000 monthly users placing more than 200,000 orders. Despite facing challenges in launching cafeterias across major cities in the initial stages, Platos has experienced a 15% increase in its month-over-month profits.As for future plans, the startup is looking to raise $1 million from investors as strategic partners, bringing in capital, expertise, and networks. "Finding the right lead investor is the compass that points your startup toward success," Subramanian says.4. What does the underlined word "tedious" in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Time-consuming.B. Breath-taking.C. Heart-breaking.D. Energy-saving.5. What is the purpose of founding Platos?A. To connect customers with a greener ecosystem.B. To ensure food security and variety in cafeterias.C.

Platos has achieved its ultimate financial goal.B. Platos has gained impressive marketing progress.C. Challenges in food industry can be easily overcome.D. Tech-driven cafeterias have covered most urban areas.7. What is Subramanian's future plan for Platos?A. To reduce costs.B. To increase profits.C. To seek investment.D. To innovate technology.CWith a brain the size of a pinhead, insects possess a great sense of direction. They manage to locate themselves and move through small openings. How do they do this with their limited brain power? Understanding the inner workings of an insect's brain can help us in our search towards energy-efficient computing, physicist Elisabetta Chicca of the University of Groningen shows with her most recent result: a robot that acts like an insect.It's not easy to make use of the images that come in through your eyes when deciding what your feet or wings should do. A key aspect here is the apparent motion of things as you move. "Like when you're on a train,” Chicca explains. "The trees nearby appear to move faster than the houses far away." Insects use this information to infer how far away things are. This works well when moving in a straight line, but reality is not that simple. To keep things manageable for their limited brain power, they adjust their behaviour: they fly in a straight line, make a turn, then make another straight line.In search of the neural mechanism（神经机制）that drives insect behaviour, PhD student Thorben Schoepe developed a model of its neuronal activity and a small robot that uses this model to find the position. His model is based on one main principle: always head towards the area with the least apparent motion. He had his robot drive through a long passage consisting of two walls and the robot centred in the middle of the passage, as insects tend to do. In other virtual environments, such as a space with small openings, his model also showed similar behaviour to insects.The fact that a robot can find its position in a realistic environment is not new. Rather, the model gives insight into how insects do the job, and how they manage to do things so efficiently. In a similar way, you could make computers more efficient.In the future, Chicca hopes to apply this specific insect behaviour to a chip as well. "Instead of using a general-purpose computer with all its possibilities, you can build specific hardware; a tiny chip that does the job, keeping things much smaller and energy-efficient." She comments.8. Why is "a train" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. To illustrate the principle of train motion.B. To highlight why human vision is limited.C. To explain how insects perceive distances.D. To compare the movement of trees and houses.9. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning Schoepe's model?A. Its novel design.B. Its theoretical basis.C. Its possible application.D. Its working mechanism.10. What do the researchers think of the finding?A. Amusing.B. Discouraging.C. Promising.D. Contradictory.11. What will Chicca's follow-up study focus on?A. Inventing insect-like chips.B. Studying general-purpose robots.C. Creating insect-inspired computers.D. Developing energy-efficient hardware.DWith the help from an artificial language（AL）model, MIT neuroscientists have discovered what kind of sentences are most likely to fire up the brain's key language processing centers. The new study reveals that sentences that are more complex, because of either unusual grammar or unexpected meaning, generate stronger responses in these language processing centers. Sentences that are very straightforward barely engage these regions, and meaningless orders of words don't do much for them either.In this study, the researchers focused on language-processing regions found in the left hemisphere（半球）of the brain. By collecting a set of 1,000 sentences from various sources, the researchers measured the brain activity of participants using functional magnetic resonance imaging（fMRI）while they read the sentences. The same sentences were also fed into a large language model, similar to ChatGPT, to measure the model's activation patterns. Once the researchers had all of those data, they trained the model to predict how the human language network would respond to any new sentence based on how the artificial language network responded to these 1,000 sentences.The researchers then used the model to determine 500 new sentences that would drive highest brain activity and sentences that would make the brain less active, and their findings were confirmed in subsequent human participants. To understand why certain sentences generate stronger brain responses, the model examined the sentences based on 11 different language characteristics. The analysis revealed that sentences that were more surprising resulted in greater brain activity. Another linguistic（语言的）aspect that correlated with the brain's language network responses was the complexity of the sentences, which was determined by how well they followed English grammar rules and bow logically they linked with each other.The researchers now plan to see if they can extend these findings in speakers of languages other than English. They also hope to explore what type of stimuli may activate language processing regions in the brain's right hemisphere.12. What sentences make our brain work harder?A. Lengthy.B. Logical.C. Straightforward.D. Complicated.13. What is the function of the AL model in the research?A. To examine language network.B. To reduce language complexity.C. To locate language processing area.D. To identify language characteristics.14. How did the researchers carry out their study?A. By conducting interviews.B. By collecting questionnaires.C. By analyzing experiment data.D. By reviewing previous studies.15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. AL Model Stimulates Brain ActivitiesB. AL Model Speeds Up Language LearningC. AL Model Reveals the Secrets of Brain ActivationD. AL Model Enhances Brain Processing Capacity第二节（共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分）根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But it’s not that simple for kids who are blind. They read in a different way. Jenny Lee and other braille (盲文) transcribers take the printed words of a book and change them into a code of raised dots. Blind people can read these dots with their fingers. To know what braille feels like, take a ballpoint pen and press hard onto a piece of paper. Now turn the paper over and touch the raised dot made by the pen point.When Lee first saw the dots of the braille alphabet, she wondered if she’d ever be able to read and write them easily. She took a class and practised hard for about six months before she passed the final exam: she had to convert 35 pages of a book into braille. Today, Lee works for a publisher. One of her jobs is to change children’s books into braille.To do this, Lee first types the story into a computer and then uses a computer program to translate it into the braille code. Next, she looks over the translation several times to make sure it’s mistake-free. After that, a copy of the braille story is printed with a special printer. Then Lee and a proofreader work together to find and correct any mistakes. When a book is ready, many copies of it are printed. Afterwards, some are sold through websites and others are sent to libraries.Sometimes, going over a story again and again gets tiring. That’s when Lee takes a break. Several of Jenny Lee’s co-workers, who are blind, use guide dogs. When the animals aren’t working, Lee likes spending a few minutes with them. To her, playing with dogs “is always a pick-me-up in the middle of the day”.“I love this mission,” Lee says. “Through my brain power and my fingers, I am putting the dots into some kid’s hands.”4.How does the writer explain what braille feels like?A.By explaining what braille words look like.B.By describing how blind people read books.C.By asking readers to experience it themselves.D.By giving examples of different braille words.5.What was Lee’s first reaction to braille?A.She was excited to get a new skill.B.She was amazed at the clever idea.C.She realized she could teach it herself.D.She believed it would be difficult to learn.6.What does the underlined word “pick-me-up” in paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.A discussion to release work stress.B.Something to improve one’s appetite.C.Something to help restore one’s spirit.D.A free ride accompanied with a guide dog.7.What does Lee think of her job?A.Profitable and hopeful.B. Tiring but meaningful.C. Relaxing and helpful.D. Boring but challenging.CTransportation shapes the world: along with communications, it forms a global net that connects person to person, city to city, and country to country. Transportation routes as well as vehicles are vital to the functioning and spread of every civilization.A country’s economy depends on reliable transportation. Cities spread out along roads, rivers, and rails, so does information. Until the 20th century, these routes were confined to land or water. With the invention of powered flight, the air became an open road as well. The earliest way of traveling was undoubtedly by foot, and humans’ earliest means of transporting goods was carrying loads on their back or head. By 4000 B.C., people were using domesticated animals for transport, a method greatly improved in some parts of the world by the invention of the wheel, probably first developed around 3500 B.C.Until the 19th century, animals were the engines of land transportation. But with the invention of the steam engine and the internal combustion engine, railroads and automobiles revolutionized travel and trade. More than 600 million cars and trucks travel the world today.Water has always been a fast and efficient mode of travel, and even today it remains a primary mover of heavy goods. The importance of waterways to human civilization can be seen on any map: almost all of the world’s major cities are located on coastlines or rivers. As early as 7000 B.C., people were building canoes; long-distance ships were common by 3000 B.C. Until the 1950s, ships were the chief means of overseas passenger travel.Although the Montgolfier brothers took flight in balloons in the 18th century, air travel was not practical until the invention of powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903. Within ten years, the commercial air transportation business had begun.Since the 20th century, high-speed rail has become another convenient way of travel. Today, two-thirds of the world’s high-speed rail track is in China, which measures nearly 30,000 kms, and this is expected to reach 38,000 kms by 2025.8.What is the passage mainly about?A.Technological advancements in transport over time.B.The influence of economic activities on transportation.C.The relationship between transportation and information flows.D.Reasons why land and sea transportation routes were important.9.Why does the writer mention the location of the world’s major cities?A.To encourage more people to move to big cities.B.To explain why boats and ships continue to be irreplaceable.C.To recommend water as a convenient and cheap form of transportation.D.To emphasize the contribution of water transport to human development.10.What can we learn about air travel?A.Balloons used to be one popular way of air travel.B.The Montgolfier brothers invented powered flight.C.The invention of airplanes helped popularize air travel.D.Air travel became widespread soon after the balloon was invented.11.What is the total length of high-speed rail track in the world today?A.About 57,000 kms.B. About 45,000 kms.C. About 38,000 kms.D. About 30,000 kms.DIt’s late in the evening, time to close the book and turn off the computer. You’re done for the day. What you may not realize, however, is that the learning process actually continues in your dreams.It might sound like science fiction, but researchers are increasingly focusing on the relationship between the knowledge and skills our brains absorb during the day and the often strange imaginings they generate at night. Scientists have found that dreaming about a task we’ve learned improves performance in that activity (suggesting that th ere’s some truth to the popular idea that we’re “getting” a foreign language once we begin dreaming in it). What’s more, dreaming may be an essential part of understanding, organizing and retaining what we learn.While we sleep, research indicates, the brain replays the patterns of activity it experienced during waking hours, allowing us to enter what one psychologist calls a neural (神经的) virtual reality. A vivid example of such replay can be seen in a video researchers made recently about sleep disorders. They taught a series of dance moves to patients suffering from sleepwalking and related conditions. They then videotaped the subjects as they slept. Lying in bed, eyes closed, one female patient on the tape performs the dance moves she learned earlier.This shows that while our bodies are at rest, our brains are drawing what’s important from the information and events we’ve recently encountered, then integrating that material into the vast store of what we already know. In a 2010 study, researchers reported that college students who dreamed about a computer maze (迷宫) task they had learned showed a 10-fold improvement in their ability to find their way through the maze compared with participants who did not dream about the task.That study’s chief researcher Herbert Smith suggested that studying right before bedtime or taking a nap following a study session in the afternoon might increase the probability of dreaming about the material. Think about that as you go to sleep tonight.12.What happens when one enters a dream state?A.The body continues to act as if the sleeper were awake.B.The neural activity of the brain will become intensified.C.The brain once again experiences the learning activities of the day.D.The brain behaves as if it were playing a virtual reality video game.13.What does the brain do while we are sleeping?A.It replaces old information with new material.B.It processes and absorbs newly acquired information.C.It regroups information and places it in different files.D.It systematizes all the information collected during the day.14.How can learning be enhanced according to Herbert Smith?A.Staying up late before finally going to bed.B.Having a period of sleep right after studying.C.Having a dream about anything you are interested in.D.Thinking about the chances of dreaming about the material.15.What is the research discussed in the passage mainly about?A.How study affects people’s dreams.B.Why people learn more after sleeping.C.What time students should study and sleep.D.How dreaming may lead to improved learning outcomes.第二节（共5 小题；每小题 2.5 分, 满分12.5 分）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。

She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.The bus was full, bumpy, and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn’t sit next to his mother. There were a couple of open seats, but they weren’t together. She wasflusteredand looked embarrassed.Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The mom smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman’s mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride: “I’ve been there”.Simple, undramatic and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite people. Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. We forget that, as we forge (前进) through life, focused onour own troubles and needs—which are actually less unique than we think. How can these three words create more connection in your life? Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back?One thing I know for sure is this: Healing others helps heal yourself. I noticed this recently with my friend, Tracy, who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage under her wing. Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago. Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things, yes. But our souls need human connection to help us along. No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice thatsomeone’s uncomfortable—because we’re all in this together.8.

From the 8th century B. C. to the 4th century A. D., the the ancient Olympics were held every four years in Olympia in honor of the god Zeus. The first modern Olympics took place in1896 inAthens, and featured 280 participants from 13 nations, competing in 43 events. Since 1994, the Summer and Winter Olympic Games have been held separately every two years. The 2020 Summer Olympics, delayed one year because of the COVID-19, was held in Japan in 2021.The ancient Olympics were held every four years between August 6 and September 19 during a festival honoring Zeus. The Games were named for their location (位置) at Olympia, a place near the western coast in southern Greece. Their influence was so great that ancient historians began to measure time by the Olympic Games held every four years.After the Roman Empire conquered (征服) Greece in the mid-2nd century B.C., the Games continued, buttheir standards and quality dropped. For example from 67 A. D., the Emperor Nero entered an Olympic horse race, announcing himself the winner even after he fell off hishorse during the event. In 393 A. D., Emperor TheodosiusⅠended the ancient Olympic tradition.It was another 1,500 years before the Games rose again, largely thanks to the efforts of Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937) of France. Working hard at the development of physical education, the young man became inspired by the idea of creating a modern Olympic Games after visiting the ancient Olympic building. In November 1892, at a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in Paris, Coubertin suggested the idea of making the Olympics an international athletic competition held every four years. Two years later, he got the approval (批准) he needed to found the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ), which would become the governing body of the modern Olympic Games.12.
