【答案】17. B 18. C 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【原文】M: Hi, I’m Rick Steves. If you’ve been with us from the beginning, you’ll know that we began our tour in Amsterdam, walked our way through Germany and Austria, down into Italy, back up through Switzerland and this week we are in Paris. We won’t spend much time at the big attractions. In a tourist destination like Paris, even a new traveler knows to see the famous art museums of Paris and no one misses the Eiffel Tower. But we’re going to some of the places the average tourist misses. For instance, the best view in town may not be from the top of the Eiffel Tower, but from the top of the Montparnasse Tower. The view includes the Eiffel Tower as well as everything else. It’s cheaper and easier to get up here. We can join a ride on a public bus. I like the views from Line 63. Or we can cruise through Paris in one of their river tour boats. To cover more territory, traffic and streets for you, I ride the subway. Many European cities have subway systems, the one in Paris is really amazing. You can go anywhere in town for a reasonable price. And don’t worry, getting lost is cheap. In fact, you could stay underground all day long on one ticket about the cost of a cup of coffee.

Norwegian playwright and author Jon Fosse has just been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature for his “innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”. The author was announced as the winner in a ceremony at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday (5 October), which was also livestreamed on the Internet.
The Swedish Academy credits Fosse as “one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world”, although the 64-year-old originally made his name as a novelist, beginning with Red Black in 1983. He has since written many works of prose and poetry. “His works, covering a variety of genres (体裁), comprises about 40 plays and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, children’s books and translations,” said Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature.
Fosse draws inspiration from his rural living environment and personal struggles, which have deeply influenced his unique writing style. Growing up in a small seaside village, Fosse was lost in the beauty of nature and the vastness of the sea, which filled him with a sense of solitude and introspection (内省) that is reflected in his works. Fosse’s writing discussed themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in life. Additionally, his battles with depression have enabled him to explore the depths of human emotions and despair.
Fosse is the first-ever winner writing in Nynorsk, one of the two official languages of Norwegian, but only used by just 10% of the population. As the Guardian writes, “Many Nynorsk speakers see Fosse ‘as a kind of national hero’ for his defending the language.” Fosse’s recognition on a global stage promotes the visibility and importance of Nynorsk as a written standard. It will attract more attention to Nynorsk literature, inspire and encourage Nynorsk speakers to continue preserving and promoting their linguistic (语言的) heritage.
24. How was the information about Jon Fosse winning the Nobel Prize publicized
A. By sending personal invitations.
B. Only by means of online livestream.
C. Through a traditional ceremony and online.
D. Through an official Nobel Foundation newsletter.
25. What do we know about Jon Fosse from paragraph 2
A. His most popular work is the play Red, Black.
B. He accomplished various genres of literature works.
C. Many famous plays are the inspiration for his writing.
D. His language skills earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature.
26. What is suggested about Jon Fosse’s approach to writing
A. He follows mainstream trends in literature.
B. He only focuses on traditional Norwegian stories.
C. He draws heavily from other Nobel Prize winners.
D. He combines his background with artistic technique.
27. What contribution of Jon Fosse is mentioned in the last paragraph
A. He explains the importance of linguistic diversity.
B. He has improved the international status of Norway.
C. He promotes the development and preservation of Nynorsk.
D. He shapes the basic writing standard of Norwegian literature.

Fosse’s writing discussed themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in life. Additionally, his battles with depression have enabled him to explore the depths of human emotions and despair.( Fosse从他的乡村生活环境和个人奋斗中获得灵感，这深刻地影响了他独特的写作风格。Fosse在海边的一个小村庄长大，他沉浸在大自然的美丽和大海的浩瀚中，这让他充满了孤独和自省的感觉，这在他的作品中得到了体现。Fosse的作品讨论了孤独、渴望和对生命意义的探索等主题。此外，他与抑郁症的斗争使他能够探索人类情感和绝望的深处。)”可推知，Fosse将自己的生活背景、生活经历和自己的写作结合起来，形成了自己独特的写作风格。故选D。
【27题详解】

C
A team of scientists led by Ken Paller, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University, think they may have found a way to communicate with dreamers.
Dr Paller’s starting point was the fact that lucid dreams — in which sleepers are aware they are dreaming — seem to be linked to only one kind of sleep, known as “rapid eye movement” (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, brain activity looks similar to that seen during waking hours. Past research has shown that it is possible for people to be influenced by events taking place in the outside world during REM sleep. So Dr Paller thought that it might be possible to reach out to people in such states and to get answers back.
Dr Paller and his colleagues gathered 35 volunteers. All were trained to be mindful of their mental state and to analyze whether they thought they were awake or in a dream. They were also trained to make distinct left/right eye movements to suggest they were aware they were dreaming and in response to questions. They practiced interpreting numbers displayed as flashes of light, taps on their arm, or even as spoken words. Thus prepared, the volunteers were wired up with electrodes (电极) and sent back to sleep. Once it was clear that contact had been made, the researchers asked their questions and waited for answers.
Interviewed when awake, the participants reported that the questions had been encompassed in their dreams. One said an audio question was heard through a car radio; another said that flashes of light sent by the researchers appeared as a flickering light. One of the numerical questions even appeared as the street number of a house.
The method often did not work. Participants signaled that they were engaged in lucid dreaming in just 26% of the sessions. Of that group, 47% answered at least one question put to them correctly. But Dr Paller and his colleagues say their findings may help researchers cast some light on what dreams are for, and how they work.
28. What can we learn about Dr Paller’s research from paragraph 2
A. Its effects. B. Its research process.
C. Its theoretical basis. D. Its research methods.
29. What were the volunteers trained to do in the experiments
A. Report on their dream content.
B. Remember the different dream states.
C. Understand certain elements of the dream.
D. Communicate their answers through eye movements.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “encompassed” in paragraph 4
A. Raised. B. Ignored. C. Included. D. Interpreted.
31. What do Dr Paller and his colleagues think of their findings
A. They are unreliable in some way.
B. They could contribute a lot to dream research.
C. They’ll raise the public’s awareness of dreams.
D. They may give researchers new insights into dreaming.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家所做的研究，这些科学家们试图与做梦者进行沟通，他们认为这项研究可能对梦境研究和理解有一定帮助。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Dr Paller’s starting point was the fact that lucid dreams — in which sleepers are aware they are dreaming — seem to be linked to only one kind of sleep, known as “rapid eye movement” (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, brain activity looks similar to that seen during waking hours. Past research has shown that it is possible for people to be influenced by events taking place in the outside world during REM sleep. So Dr Paller thought that it might be possible to reach out to people in such states and to get answers back.( Paller博士的出发点是这样一个事实：清醒梦——睡眠者意识到自己在做梦——似乎只与一种睡眠有关，即“快速眼动”(REM)睡眠。在快速眼动睡眠期间，大脑活动与醒着时相似。过去的研究表明，在快速眼动睡眠期间，人们可能会受到外界发生的事件的影响。因此，Paller博士认为，也许可以接触有过这种状态的人们，并得到答案。)”可知，第二段主要介绍了Paller博士进行研究的理论基础。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“All were trained to be mindful of their mental state and to analyze whether they thought they were awake or in a dream. They were also trained to make distinct left/right eye movements to suggest they were aware they were dreaming and in response to questions.(所有人都被训练要注意自己的精神状态，并分析他们认为自己是醒着还是在做梦。他们还接受了训练，做出明显的左右眼运动，表明他们意识到自己在做梦，并在回答问题。)”可知，志愿者在实验中接受了训练，会通过眼球运动来回答问题。故选D。
【30题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文“One said an audio question was heard through a car radio; another said that flashes of light sent by the researchers appeared as a flickering light. One of the numerical questions even appeared as the street number of a house.(其中一人说，通过汽车收音机听到了一个音频问题；另一种说法是，研究人员发出的闪光看起来像闪烁的光。其中一个数字问题甚至出现在一所房子的街道号码上。)”可知，参与者认为这些问题都包含在梦中。划线单词和“包含”相似。选项A“Raised (提高)”；选项B“Ignored (忽视)”；选项C“Included (包含)”；选项D“Interpreted(口译)”。故选C。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“But Dr Paller and his colleagues say their findings may help researchers cast some light on what dreams are for, and how they work.(但Paller博士和他的同事们说，他们的发现可能有助于研究人员对梦的作用以及它们是如何起作用的有所了解。)”可知，Paller博士和他的同事们认为他们的发现可能有助于研究人员对梦有新的了解。故选D。
D
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious(有意识的) or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.
Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs accidentally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting(坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate real interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding.
When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language.
It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling desires to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-respect.
32. What will your body language tell if it can’t go with your words
A. A boring speech.
B. A probable disbelief.
C. An unclear condition.
D. True meaning behind words.
33. What can be inferred from the examples in paragraph 2
A. Body language can show the true side of us.
B. It is quite challenging to read body language.
C. Body language can help us communicate all the time.
D. Teachers find it impossible to assess a student’s understanding.
34. What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs
A. Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence.
B. Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood.
C. Naturally occurring forms of body language makes us confident.
D. When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language.
35. What could be a suitable title for the text
A. Body Language Makes You Know Others
B. Body Language Helps You to Communicate
C. Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language
D. Displaying Your Personality by Body Language
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。全文说明肢体语言在我们生活中的作用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。从第一段“These actions can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.(这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任或困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。)”可知，如果肢体语言与我们语言不一致，就有可能传递不信任或者困惑的信息。故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。从第二段“Some nonverbal signs accidentally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. (一些非语言符号无意中传达了我们不想让别人知道的部分)”可以推断出，作者举例说明有些非语言性的符号能展现我们真实的一面。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language. (当你真诚地说话时，你的肢体语言会通过手势或面部表情来回应你的话，这是很自然的。我们在谈话中也会用手势来讲故事或描述物体，通常用手势来显示物体的大小。这些大多是无意识的、自然发生的肢体语言)”以及下段“It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling desires to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-respect.(当你可能没有内在感觉时，很难对自己的行为表达信心。研究表明，当你表现出自信的肢体语言时，比如良好的姿势或眼神交流，即使你在有意识地努力，也会让你感到更加自信。在与他人交谈时，练习控制烦躁的冲动，自信地站稳脚跟，以增强自尊。)”可知，作者讲述的合适的肢体语言能让我们展现自信的一面可推断，适当的肢体语言可以帮助我们获得自信。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious(有意识的) or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. (肢体语言是交际的重要组成部分，与口语交流同样重要。肢体语言可以是有意识的，也可以是无意识的，所以确保你的身体发出的信息与你的言语相同，以确保良好的沟通是很重要的。这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任或困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。)”以及下文可知，文章讲述了身体语言在帮助我们沟通上的作用。所以B项：Body Language Helps You to Communicate(肢体语言帮助你沟通)符合语境。故选B项。

That school year God blessed me with two trusted children—Tom and Mary. Whenever I went out for training, programs or personal matters, I left everything to them.
However, the peace was ruined when one day I lost one thousand pesos (比索) in my bag. I always kept my wallet near me. I only chose my trusted students to get near my things. I kept the door of my office closed every time I went for my classes. My spine trembled upon my seeing my money was no longer there. I scanned my wallet, my secret pocket and everything in my room. But all my attempts were in vain.
I was angry. That morning before my class ended, I appealed to everyone to help me catch the “thief”. At 4:00 in the afternoon that day, I reminded them about my warning of returning my money before investigation took place. Then suddenly, a boy called Larry said, “Miss, look at the paper on the floor!”
My heart beat wildly when I saw the crumpled paper which I thought useless. I replied to them immediately upon holding the paper. “Yes, here it is!” I showed it to them. They urged me to open the paper. I opened it and to my surprise, I saw the one thousand pesos! I felt relieved. Then, a letter appeared among the banknotes.
“Miss, I am sorry that I stole the money. I returned it. Do not tell my classmates that I returned the money and do not mention anything about it in class, because it hurts me. Thank you, Miss. But I can’t tell you why I stole your money.”
Oh my God! My brain flashed the handwriting of my trusted boy—the “thief”. I was sure this was Tom’s handwriting.

We went to the hospital and saw Mary’s mother.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The next day, I called Tom to my office. The boy admitted that he was the thief and asked for my forgiveness. I asked him the reason. He said Mary’s mother was in hospital and Mary’s family didn’t have enough money to pay for the treatment. I said in earnest: “Tom, I’m quite touched by your golden heart, but taking money without permission is not a proper way to solve the problem.” Tom lowered his head in shame. “Come on! Let’s visit Mary’s mother and see what we can do for her.”
We went to the hospital and saw Mary’s mother. Mary’s mother was surprised to see us, but soon she collected herself and showed her great gratitude for us visiting her. Thinking of sensible Mary and kind-hearted Tom, I chose not to tell her the incident, comforted her and left the 1000 pesos and some more for her. On our way back, Tom hugged me tightly, tears in his eyes. Later Tom became a better person. Under proper guidance, a boy with a warm heart can shine more brightly.

Norwegian playwright and author Jon Fosse has just been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature for his “innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable”. The author was announced as the winner in a ceremony at the Swedish Academy in Stockholm on Thursday (5 October), which was also livestreamed on the Internet.
The Swedish Academy credits Fosse as “one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world”, although the 64-year-old originally made his name as a novelist, beginning with Red Black in 1983. He has since written many works of prose and poetry. “His works, covering a variety of genres (体裁), comprises about 40 plays and a wealth of novels, poetry collections, children’s books and translations,” said Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature.
Fosse draws inspiration from his rural living environment and personal struggles, which have deeply influenced his unique writing style. Growing up in a small seaside village, Fosse was lost in the beauty of nature and the vastness of the sea, which filled him with a sense of solitude and introspection (内省) that is reflected in his works. Fosse’s writing discussed themes of loneliness, longing, and the search for meaning in life. Additionally, his battles with depression have enabled him to explore the depths of human emotions and despair.
Fosse is the first-ever winner writing in Nynorsk, one of the two official languages of Norwegian, but only used by just 10% of the population. As the Guardian writes, “Many Nynorsk speakers see Fosse ‘as a kind of national hero’ for his defending the language.” Fosse’s recognition on a global stage promotes the visibility and importance of Nynorsk as a written standard. It will attract more attention to Nynorsk literature, inspire and encourage Nynorsk speakers to continue preserving and promoting their linguistic (语言的) heritage.
24. How was the information about Jon Fosse winning the Nobel Prize publicized
A. By sending personal invitations.
B. Only by means of online livestream.
C. Through a traditional ceremony and online.
D. Through an official Nobel Foundation newsletter.
25. What do we know about Jon Fosse from paragraph 2
A. His most popular work is the play Red, Black.
B. He accomplished various genres of literature works.
C. Many famous plays are the inspiration for his writing.
D. His language skills earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature.
26. What is suggested about Jon Fosse’s approach to writing
A. He follows mainstream trends in literature.
B. He only focuses on traditional Norwegian stories.
C. He draws heavily from other Nobel Prize winners.
D. He combines his background with artistic technique.
27. What contribution of Jon Fosse is mentioned in the last paragraph

A team of scientists led by Ken Paller, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University, think they may have found a way to communicate with dreamers.
Dr Paller’s starting point was the fact that lucid dreams — in which sleepers are aware they are dreaming — seem to be linked to only one kind of sleep, known as “rapid eye movement” (REM) sleep. During REM sleep, brain activity looks similar to that seen during waking hours. Past research has shown that it is possible for people to be influenced by events taking place in the outside world during REM sleep. So Dr Paller thought that it might be possible to reach out to people in such states and to get answers back.
Dr Paller and his colleagues gathered 35 volunteers. All were trained to be mindful of their mental state and to analyze whether they thought they were awake or in a dream. They were also trained to make distinct left/right eye movements to suggest they were aware they were dreaming and in response to questions. They practiced interpreting numbers displayed as flashes of light, taps on their arm, or even as spoken words. Thus prepared, the volunteers were wired up with electrodes (电极) and sent back to sleep. Once it was clear that contact had been made, the researchers asked their questions and waited for answers.
Interviewed when awake, the participants reported that the questions had been encompassed in their dreams. One said an audio question was heard through a car radio; another said that flashes of light sent by the researchers appeared as a flickering light. One of the numerical questions even appeared as the street number of a house.
The method often did not work. Participants signaled that they were engaged in lucid dreaming in just 26% of the sessions. Of that group, 47% answered at least one question put to them correctly. But Dr Paller and his colleagues say their findings may help researchers cast some light on what dreams are for, and how they work.
28. What can we learn about Dr Paller’s research from paragraph 2
A. Its effects. B. Its research process.
C. Its theoretical basis. D. Its research methods.
29. What were the volunteers trained to do in the experiments
A. Report on their dream content.
B. Remember the different dream states.
C. Understand certain elements of the dream.
D. Communicate their answers through eye movements.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “encompassed” in paragraph 4
A. Raised. B. Ignored. C. Included. D. Interpreted.
31. What do Dr Paller and his colleagues think of their findings
A. They are unreliable in some way.
B. They could contribute a lot to dream research.
C. They’ll raise the public’s awareness of dreams.
D. They may give researchers new insights into dreaming.
D
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious(有意识的) or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.
Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs accidentally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting(坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate real interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding.
When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language.
It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling desires to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-respect.
32. What will your body language tell if it can’t go with your words
A. A boring speech.
B. A probable disbelief.
C. An unclear condition.
D. True meaning behind words.
33. What can be inferred from the examples in paragraph 2
A. Body language can show the true side of us.
B It is quite challenging to read body language.
C. Body language can help us communicate all the time.
D. Teachers find it impossible to assess a student’s understanding.
34. What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs
A. Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence.
B. Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood.
C. Naturally occurring forms of body language makes us confident.
D. When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language.
35. What could be a suitable title for the text
A. Body Language Makes You Know Others
B. Body Language Helps You to Communicate
C. Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language
D. Displaying Your Personality by Body Language

That school year God blessed me with two trusted children—Tom and Mary. Whenever I went out for training, programs or personal matters, I left everything to them.
However, the peace was ruined when one day I lost one thousand pesos (比索) in my bag. I always kept my wallet near me. I only chose my trusted students to get near my things. I kept the door of my office closed every time I went for my classes. My spine trembled upon my seeing my money was no longer there. I scanned my wallet, my secret pocket and everything in my room. But all my attempts were in vain.
I was angry. That morning before my class ended, I appealed to everyone to help me catch the “thief”. At 4:00 in the afternoon that day, I reminded them about my warning of returning my money before investigation took place. Then suddenly, a boy called Larry said, “Miss, look at the paper on the floor!”
My heart beat wildly when I saw the crumpled paper which I thought useless. I replied to them immediately upon holding the paper. “Yes, here it is!” I showed it to them. They urged me to open the paper. I opened it and to my surprise, I saw the one thousand pesos! I felt relieved. Then, a letter appeared among the banknotes.
“Miss, I am sorry that I stole the money. I returned it. Do not tell my classmates that I returned the money and do not mention anything about it in class, because it hurts me. Thank you, Miss. But I can’t tell you why I stole your money.”
Oh my God! My brain flashed the handwriting of my trusted boy—the “thief”. I was sure this was Tom’s handwriting.
