Recently, as I watched my son Nathan play basketball for his high school team, I was starting to feel sorry for myself and for him. His team was facing adversity（逆境） on the court and he was playing in a hostile environment —it was the opponent's home gym filled with their supporters, and Nathan's team was trailing（落后） for three quarters of the game. As for me, I had been fired from my job earlier in the day.
During my drive to where the game was held, I kept telling myself “I will find work again in a short time”—I am confident in my experience and abilities. This was the same belief that I tried to instill in my son.
The basketball game entered the fourth quarter with Nathan's team still trailing. I saw the determination on his, as well as his teammates' faces as they fought back to not only tie the game, but then go ahead by three points. Then, a player from the other team made an unbelievable shot to tie the game up again. With a tie game（平局） and seconds on the clock, Nathan found himself with the ball and with skill and confidence, he proceeded to make the basket with a defender hanging all over him. The other player was called for a foul（犯规）.
As Nathan stood at the foul line preparing for a shot that would put his team up by three points, I saw the focus and determination on his face, there was no room for self-doubt. Nathan was able to tune out all the distractions and nail the free throw with such skill, it was as if he had done it a thousand times.
As I sat there, my heart bursting with pride, it dawned on me that I had taught him perseverance in the face of adversity, and he had just taught me the same lesson. That brief moment of self-doubt and feeling sorry for myself was blown away by the actions of my son on the basketball court. He will play in the finals, but it doesn't matter if he wins or loses, at this moment, we both won.
24. Why did I feel sorry when watching my son's basketball game
A. I quit my job earlier in the day.
B. There were no supporters for my son's team.
C. My son's team was facing adversity at home court.
D. My son's team was trailing for three quarters of the game.
25. Which of the following words can best describe the author
A. Self-doubting and pessimistic. B. Self-confident and optimistic.
C. Hardworking and intelligent. D. Easy-going and warmhearted.
26. What happened in the fourth quarter of the basketball game
A. My son's team spared no effort to fight back and finally tied the game.
B. A player from my son's team fouled during the defending process.
C. My son successfully scored the free throw and put his team up by three points in the end.
D. The opponent team made an unbelievable winning shot in the last seconds of the game.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text

T. O. Fuller State Park in Memphis, Tennessee, has been loved for generations and has always been a ground where community has come first. Back in 1938, it was the first park east of the Mississippi river to open for African American visitors. Over 80 years later, the park is continuing its forward-thinking tradition, this time, through a pioneering sustainability project.
A new walking and biking trail has been built through this historic park. Illegally dumped （被丢弃的） tires are not only unpleasant to see, but they're a dangerous addition to the environment. Rubber, like plastic, is a material that won't naturally break down. In a place as hot as Tennessee, these dumped tires often begin to melt and release these harmful gasses into the air. Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble（碎屑） rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail.
TN State Parks explained how the trail's construction, which has been in development since 2019, was a joint effort. Officials from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the City of Memphis, Shelby County, and Memphis City Beautiful were all involved in funding this recycling project.
These officials named their initiative the “Tires to Trails” project. Workers from these departments, alongside some 450 volunteers, came together to collect over 24, 000 tires that had been illegally dumped in the area around the park to be recycled.
“This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use,” David, a leader of the project, said in a statement.
28. What kind of park is T. O. Fuller State Park
A. It is a popular park with a good tradition. B. It is the first park welcoming all visitors.
C. It is a park west of the Mississippi river. D. It is a modern park without biking trails.
29. Why are dumped tires a dangerous addition to the environment
A. They are ugly to see. B. They release harmful gasses.
C. They are made up of plastic. D. They could only be used to pave the new trail.
30. What does David mean in the last paragraph
A. It is the park's responsibility to recycle.
B. The park is built on dumped materials.
C. The park successfully recycled dumped tires.
D. It is possible to turn everything into useful things.
31. Which of the following best presents the main idea of the passage
A. A state park is making pioneering efforts to achieve sustainability.
B. A state park is to rebuild a trail in an innovative way.
C. Tires have been transformed into a new trail in a state park.
D. Officials and people worked together to recycle tires in a state park.
D
“Please, no flash photography.”
Polite requests like this can be found in museums all over the world, but they generally fail to persuade people out of taking photos of whatever they feel like. The same goes for concerts, movie theaters and other places where people routinely ignore filming restrictions. A new patent from Apple may help discourage that rebellious behavior-on phones at least.
The patent, awarded to Apple today, outlines a system which would allow venues to use an infrared emitter（红外线发射器） to remotely disable the camera function on smartphones. According to the patent, infrared rays could be picked up by the camera, and interpreted by the smartphone as a command to block the user from taking any photos or videos of whatever they're seeing.
Many musicians and performers have banned cellphones from their shows, either because they want their audiences to actually pay attention to them, or because they don't want the free footage（片段镜头） going viral around the web. Despite this, unauthorized （未授权的） images still manage to make their way into the public eye. The last concert of American singer Prince before he passed away was supposed to be cellphone-free —it apparently wasn't. If Apple's patent is introduced into iPhone software, and venues put infrared emitters around their stage, leaks like this could potentially stop happening.
But the patent also raises questions about the sort of power that this technology would be handing over to people with more immoral intentions.
Right now, there's no guarantee that Apple intends to put this technology into any of its software —Apple doesn't act on many of the thousands of patents it files each year —and the company wasn't immediately available to comment on its plans for the patent.
Given the company's rigid support of personal privacy when it comes to police requests to break into users' devices, it's possible that Apple just patented the technology so that no one else will use it. But who knows, if it does intend to introduce this feature to future operating systems, sales of alternative shooting devices like camcorders, or even GoPros, could get a much-needed boost, as people try to avoid having to use the prohibitive software.
32. How can Apple's patented system prevent smartphone users from taking photos or videos at specific venues
A. By giving out a sound wave that disables smartphone cameras.
B. By picking up infrared rays emitted by the cameras when they are filming.
C. By using infrared rays that can remotely block camera usage on smartphones.
D. By automatically deleting photos or videos if they are taken without permission.
33. Which of the following is one of the reasons why cellphones are banned from many shows
A. To make the performers more focused on the show.
B. To avoid the unauthorized footage being freely shared and spread online.
C. To prevent the performers' images from coming to widespread public attention.
D. To protect the audience from people with immoral intentions.
34. What does the underlined word in the fourth paragraph mean
A. Unintended damage. B. Unauthorized release.
C. Unexpected death. D. Undesired freedom.
35. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A. Apple has planned to apply this patent to future operating systems.
B. All the patents Apple files each year are meant to be put into its software.
C. Apple may agree to put this technology into its software due to police requests.
D. People may turn to other shooting devices if Apple introduces the prohibitive software.

As time goes on, neuroscientists learn more about the wonders of human brains. The deeper understanding offers ways to enhance your brain to work in your favor. You don't have to be a brain scientist to do it! 36
When you hear the word “hack”, you might be reminded of the snaky computer science puter hackers need to understand the inner workings of a computer to break into its system. 37 They need to know how the brain works to change its neural network. With this knowledge, people have come up with ways to optimize brain performance and stick to healthier habits.
Neurohackers use their knowledge of how the brain works to change thought patterns, like daily habits. Doing this requires understanding the way habits form in the brain. Whenever you repeat a task, the brain connects its wires together between brain cells. Over time, these habits become hardwired into the brains. 38 They help carry out simple everyday tasks without much thought or attention. The trouble comes up when your brain wires unhealthy habits, such as negative self-talk.
39 You need to rewire! And that requires mindfulness- a conscious awareness of your brain's behaviors and patterns at the very moment when they occur. In this way, you can change those habits in the direction that you want.
Below the conscious mind lives the subconscious, a deeper mental space that hosts what you have previously engraved into your mind. 40 Then, you can “hack” brain patterns, train thoughts toward positive circuits, and slowly develop healthier habits over time.
A. Find out what neurohacking is.
B. The same goes for neurohackers.
C. Just learn how to hack your brain.
D. How can you improve your mindfulness
E. How do you change those undesirable habits
F. Habits free up our brains so that we can learn new things.
G. With proper practices, you'll build a deeper awareness of your own brain.

阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A week before Halloween, my young children wild with great happiness were walking and running around our home in their Halloween costumes. Just then the babysitter called, telling me that she was extremely sorry for asking for a day off. I knew that emergencies did occur, and I told her that I completely understood. But what was actually going through my mind were feelings off frustration and self-pity. And I had to pack my three kids into the car, and then drove to the hospital.
On the way, numerous things flooded into my mind, and I especially thought about how life should be going. I was thirty years old, a mother of three girls—five-year-old twins and a one-year-old baby. At this moment, I should be playing with them in the park or visiting the library together. But I was, once again, going to see the doctor. It had been a year since I was diagnosed with cancer. I knew that I was one of the lucky ones. I was grateful that surgery and chemotherapy（化疗） were over, and this was just a routine blood test. As always, there was the remaining fear that the cancer would come back. To be honest, my family and friends were great during the past year when I was in bad condition, but they were also busy with their lives. Therefore, I did not want to burden them with my feelings of unhappiness. What I just wanted to see were the positive things in life and I really wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to them.
When we finally arrived, we sat in a crowded waiting room. Nothing special occurred until my youngest daughter, dressed up as an angel, walked up to a woman who was in a wheelchair and accompanied by her caregiver. My daughter looked at the woman and pointed to the vending（售货） machine next to her, saying sweetly, “Tweet.” This was how she said “Trick or Treat”, who had been coached previously by her twin sisters.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Surprisingly, the woman, a complete stranger to us, knew exactly what my daughter meant. _________________

Surprisingly, the woman, a complete stranger to us, knew exactly what my daughter meant. She asked her caregiver to take her to the vending machine. Using her trembling right hand, the woman put enough money into the machine, and then handed each of my girls a treat. This act caused a series of acts of purchasing things on the vending machine. Soon, many people waiting for doctors had a candy bar or a bag of chips ready for the “Trick or Treat”. My kids were delighted at their good fortune.
My daughters thanked everyone who gave them treats. They were very happy, smiling, singing and dancing in the waiting room. When seeing this, everyone in the room was smiling with satisfaction. Gradually, laughter and happiness filled all the corners of the room. I was touched by the scene. Facing unknown health problems, these strangers still thought of giving my three little daughters some Halloween fun. I realized how kind and generous these people are, and I felt extremely grateful to those Halloween heroes.

30. C。推理判断题。根据最后一段中 “This is a perfect example of recycling in full circle, collecting dumped material, then converting it into positive use” 可知 David 在最后一段的意思是T. O. Fuller State Park在回收废弃轮胎方面做得很成功。故选C。
31. C。主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段的 “Fortunately, the old tires were sent to Patriot Tire Recycling in Bristol, TN, the only facility in the area that can break down tires in an environmentally sound way. There, the collected tires were safely broken down into the crumble（碎屑） rubber that was eventually used to pave the new trail” 可知，本篇文章主要讲述了田纳西州的T. O. Fuller State Park在众人合作的基础上对被丢弃的轮胎进行废物利用并用其铺成了一条路的故事，因此C项正确。
D篇：
此文涉及到“摄屏”话题。苹果公司的一项新专利或许能在手机上限制违规摄屏行为。
32. C。根据第三段最后一句 According to the patent, infrared rays could be picked up by the camera, and interpreted by the smartphone as a command to block the user from taking any photos or videos of whatever they're seeing 得知C是正确的。
33. B。从第四段第二和第三行 because they don't want the free footage（片段镜头） going viral around the web可知B是正确的。
34. B。猜词题。本句中 “leaks like this” 是指上文中 The last concert of American singer Prince before he passed away was supposed to be cellphone-free —it apparently wasn't. 的演唱会现场镜头泄露事件。所以选择B.
35. D。根据 sales of alternative shooting devices like camcorders（便携式摄像机）, or even GoPros, could get a much-needed boost, as people try to avoid having to use the prohibitive software. 排除其他选项可得出D正确。
七选五
36. C。本题设空前提到神经科学，指出“更深层次的理解可以提供增强你的大脑的方法。”而且，“你不必成为一名脑科学家就可以做到这一点！”所以下文应说明“只需要”该如何增强大脑的方法，C项“只要学习如何破解你的大脑”符合语境。
37. B。本题设空前提到计算机黑客如何入侵电脑，设空后提到“他们”如何改变大脑的神经网络，结合文章主题，可知设空处需要联系计算机黑客与神经黑客研究大脑，B项“神经黑客也是如此”符合语境。
38. F。本题设空前说明了习惯是如何在大脑中养成的，设空后提到“他们帮助执行简单的日常任务，没有太多的思考或关注。”F项“习惯可以释放我们的大脑，这样我们就可以学习新事物。”符合上下文语境。
39. E。本题位于段首，根据空后“You need to rewire! ”可以锁定D和E这两个疑问句选项，再根据下一句“And that requires mindfulness”可知，设空处与 mindfulness无关，E项“你如何改变那些不良习惯呢？”在此处起承上启下作用。
40. G。由本题设空前提到潜意识，设空后提到“然后，你可以“破解”大脑模式，训练思维朝着积极的回路发展，并随着时间的推移慢慢养成更健康的习惯。”可知G项“使用正确练习，你将对自己的大脑建立更深层次的意识。”符合语境。
完形填空
41. B。根据文章第一句“‘我’的儿子刚拿到driving license（驾照）”，以及第一段最后一句“‘我’让儿子开车回家”可知，“我”在路上把车停靠在路旁。B项符合语境。

44. D。根据上文可知，儿子不想开车，“我”安慰他说没事，根据下文可知“我”说“在某些时刻，你要做的就是去争取。结合该题选项，设空处应该是“你永远不会觉得自己准备好了。”D项符合语境。
45. C。根据上文可知，“我”安慰后，儿子还是不愿意，所以就回想了“我”爸爸的话，这在第六段的故事中有体现，结合上下文，设空处应该是C项“记起；回忆起”。
46. C。根据上一段最后一句，儿子不愿意开车，情急之下重复了“我”爸爸曾对“我”说过的话，这勾起了我对往事的回忆。结合选项：A项“经过”，B项“消退”，C项“冻结”，D项“飞逝”，可知作者更想要表达的应该是“在那一刻时间仿佛冻住了。”之后，“我”眼前出现了曾经的场景。C项符合语境。
47. D。根据上文可知，儿子的话让“我”看见了那张刻在我记忆里的老照片，结合选项：A项“挤压”，B项“袭击；罢工”，C项“反射”，D项“印；印刻”，可知D项符合语境。
48. C。根据上文可知，设空处所在句为回忆场景中对老照片内容的描写：家人们手挽着手拍照，对着镜头笑。C项符合语境。
49. B。根据上文可知，家人们准备一起坐过山车，而根据下文可看出“我”其实很害怕，但是因为不想落在后面，所以没说出来，只是暗自害怕。B项符合语境。

53. B。根据上下文可知，“我”因为自己不敢坐过山车感觉特别惭愧，但是爸爸说的话彻底让“我”吃惊。B项符合语境。
54. D。根据上文可知，爸爸并没有因为“我”不敢坐过山车而批评或埋怨“我”，而是理解并肯定了“我”的做法，这让“我”很吃惊，因为爸爸的反应和“我”的预期完全相反。D项符合语境。
55. D。根据上文可知，儿子不肯开车，“我”却执意让他开车，于是儿子说出了“我”的父亲曾经对“我”说过的一句话，让“我”回忆起往事。瞬间，“我”理解了儿子的处境，恍然大悟：原来，知道自己的局限并不是一种示弱。结合选项：A项“猜测”，B项“介绍”，C项“灵感；激励”，D项“暗示；表明”，可知D项符合语境。
语法填空
56. what。考查表语从句，what在从句中作doing的宾语。

59. a。一次更包罗万象的经历。

61. enthusiast。enthusiast n. 热者，爱好者。
62. 这里是停下来去品尝，不定式做目的状语，to sample。sample作动词，表“品尝”。
63. sharing。现在分词作方式状语。
64. better。从前面的change可看出这里要体现变化，用比较级。
65. professional。此处要用形容词作定语。

M: Hi! My name is Stephen and I live in a tiny flat in London. I don't live with my parents. They're living in the countryside. An advantage of city life is that having everything you need so close at hand. Living beside the underground train station means I don't need a car to get around, which saves me money. I take the underground to work every day. I can also use it when I go to visit my friends. Also, there are shopping centers and museums everywhere. Of course, London, like any large city, has its problems, too. Londoners don't chat on the train or the bus and there is much less sharing spirit than in the country, where my parents live. In fact, they don't understand how I can put up with the noise pollution. However, I see that as a small price to pay. I'm here, in the heart of the fine city. As a famous poet once said, “He who is tired of London is tired of life.”
