2024年高考英语(阅读理解之说明文)模拟真题 (天津专用)
(2024·天津·一模)Online classes began to be popularized just a few decades ago. They are advertised as a way for adults to finish their education and students to learn the material at their own pace—it is far more suitable for people with busy schedules.
But after being enrolled in an online course last fall semester, I came to realize online classes were merely a means to fulfil course requirements.
First of all, students lack the desire to learn, and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.
As online courses tend to have more than 100 students, most of the assignments are short and simple. They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded casily to accommodate such a large number of students.
Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of taking an online class is the absence of face-to-face interaction between the teacher and their students. Live sessions are infrequent and are often scheduled during the middle of the day when students have to attend other classes or work. The office hours of the professor may also be during inconvenient times for many students as well. Most interaction with the professor has to be through email which is often impersonal. It is nearly impossible for students to build a relationship with their professor.
There is also little interaction amongst students. It can be harder for students to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.
Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable internet connection. Not all students have access to these types of resources, whether it is for financial or other reasons, and some students can be put at a disadvantage.
Offering online classes certainly helps students who would otherwise not be able to attend classroom sessions. However, they fail to provide a genuine education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking. We need restructured online classes in which students can have a learning experience that will actually provide quality education.

(2024·天津·一模)We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we are in low spirits.
Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection, which is a well-studied cognitive bias. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details.
If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words, the negative details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain.
Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the
more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.
But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.
6.When we think about the past, we usually .
A.improve present living conditions B.beautify past experiences
C.focus on mind mapping D.play games to forget bad things
7.What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Having a preference for good memories. B.Remembering exactly about the details.
C.Concentrating on impossible things. D.Thinking objectively about the past.
8.Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4
A.Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically.
B.Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely.
C.Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously.
D.Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely.
9.What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A.The good excuse for present unhappiness. B.The accuracy of remembering past details.
C.The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. D.The negative impact of recalling past experiences.
10.What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage
A.Negative. B.Subjective. C.Favorable. D.Objective.
(2024·天津南开·一模)We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body
language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries is a way to display interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person.
The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite.
Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the cheek when they meet. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing from the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else.
Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere. Placing your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means “sleep”. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.
Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can break down barriers. We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.
11.What could be inferred from Paragraph 1
A.Body language is as important as spoken language.
B.Body language alone cannot express what we are thinking
C.Body language is not more important than spoken language
D.We can’t communicate with others without spoken language.

A.you needn’t use it everywhere
B.you ought to make eye contact

A.the Japanese value money more
B.people from different countries can’t communicate
C.in Brazil and Germany, people never use the gesture “OK”
D.the same gesture may mean different things in different places
14.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4about the gesture “yes” and “no”
A.In Bulgaria, nodding means “yes”.
B.In southern Albania, shaking your head means “yes”.
C.The “yes” and “no” gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere
D.The “yes” and “no” gestures in Bulgaria and southern Albania are completely opposite.
15.The underlined part “A smile can break down barriers.” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A.a smile is the key to success
B.smiling can make you feel happier and stronger
C.smiling can help you break down the barriers in your way
D.a smile is a powerful tool for building and strengthening social connections
(2024·天津南开·一模)Most people assume that the human brain is set on “automatic”—that means it learns all by itself. But this isn’t always true. We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest doing four things to take an active role in your learning.Listen to the outer voice
There are two kinds of voices: the inner voice and the outer voice. Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. Although your inner voice can be useful, it can also get in the way of learning. If you keep paying too much attention to it, you risk missing important information. Instead, active learners are open-minded and focus on what the speaker/ write is saying, not on what their brain is saying in the background. In this way, they are in a better position to make decisions.Ask questions
Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three, even five question about the topic. The answers will lead you to further
learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being curious.Get to the truth
Active learners do not accept everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. Even when an idea sounds entirely unlikely, there may be an aspect of it that is based on truth. So if someone says that dinosaurs still exist today, think about why they believe this. Where does the idea come from Do they have enough data to support their views If you try to find out the source of an idea, no matter how crazy it seems, you will increase your chance of learning something.Focus on the message
Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker/ writer is. It is true that we cannot help disliking some people —this is human nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not judge people based on firs impressions or personal feelings. Instead, they separate the message from the message. This goes the other way as well---do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends.
16.Which of the following is TRUE about inner voice and outer voice ________
A.Your inner voice is useless, and always gets in the way of learning.
B.Your inner voice is what you think.
C.The outer voice usually is what your brain is saying.
D.The outer voice expresses your personal opinions.
17.According to Paragraph 3 what do you know about asking questions
A.Asking questions will lead you to further learning.
B.Asking questions won’t make you more motivated to learn
C.Asking questions facilitates active learning.
D.Asking questions will stop you from being curious.
18.According to Paragraph 4, an active learner ________.
A.won’t find out the source of an idea
B.is-willing to accept everything they learn
C.believes that dinosaurs still exist today
D.always tries to find the truth at the core of every opinion
19.What do we learn about from Paragraph 5
A.We should try our best to like people we don’t like.
B.We often ignore what the author says.
C.Active learners judge people based on personal feelings
D.The person we like may not always be right.
20.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A.To offer some tips on how to learn actively
B.To advise us to listen to the outer voice.
C.To help us get to the truth.
D.To share his learning experience.
(2024·天津红桥·一模)Kids and teens are often dismissive of praise from their parents. I am sure that parents out there can relate to this, as we all have been told at one time or another by one or several of our kids, “Stop it, Mom.” or even, “You’re just saying that because you are my parents, and you have to say that.” I can assure you, though, that they are listening. They will probably not thank you for this praise until they are in their twenties, but don’t let that stop you from praising them during their childhood and teen years. Just be careful how you praise them. A little praise may go a long way-especially if it is the right kind of praise.
It appears that the way to go is to praise their efforts according to a study by Brummelman of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his colleagues. These researchers concluded that kids should be praised primarily for their efforts, rather than for their personal characteristics, because if they are praised for their efforts, then a poor performance is more likely to be seen as a glitch (小故障), rather than a valid reflection of who they are as individuals.
Let’s think about this together. If you are a teenager or a child of any age and are constantly told how brilliant you are, then when you do poorly on a test or a few tests, you may feel like you have suddenly lost your status as brilliant and may now feel ashamed that you are merely average or even dumb. If you are a girl who is constantly being told how beautiful you are, then on a day when you don’t look or feel so good, you may decide that you are unattractive. This is the problem that develops when we are praising our kids for global personality characteristics that they can’t always live up to.
21.The intended readers of this passage are _____.
A.doctors B.parents C.teachers D.children
22.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text
A.All children should be praised.
B.There’s no need to praise kids and teens.

23.Which of the following is the right kind of praise according to the text
A.You are a great artist.
B.You are very intelligent.
C.You have a special gift for music.
D.Your painting has indeed improved due to your efforts.
24.The underlined word “dumb” in the last paragraph can be replaced by
A.stupid B.unique C.curious D.honest
25.What’s the text mainly about
A.The reasons for praising kids and teens.
B.The right ways to praise kids and teens.
C.The benefits of praising kids and teens.
D.The importance of praising kids and teens.

(2024·天津·一模)“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger.” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her study, participants were randomly assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine(尼古丁) patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before quitting. “If you’re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think, “Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s like practice.” “says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn’t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾) and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective.” says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira.“When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s convincing. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it.”Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.
31.What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother
A.She quit smoking with her daughter’s help.
B.She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers.
C.She was also a researcher of tobacco and health.
D.She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly.
32.What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study
A.They were offered nicotine replacements.
B.They were looked after by physicians.
C.They were encouraged by psychologists.
D.They were given physical training.
33.How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley’s experiment
A.It is unexpected. B.It is idealized.
C.It is encouraging. D.It is misleading.
34.The idea of “a marathon” (Para.5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smoking
A.is a challenge at the beginning B.needs some practice first
C.requires a lot of patience D.is something few can accomplish
35.What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually
A.They feel much less pain in the process. B.They are simply unable to make it.
C.They show fewer withdrawal symptoms. D.They find it even more difficult.
(2024·天津·一模)Dogs have been man’s best friends for 30,000 years—and now scientists think they know why.
Dogs are usually not relaxed in a lab environment, but with a little petting and lots of treats, they can be trained to sit still even in an MRI (磁共振成像) scanner. That’s how researchers at Hungary’s ELTE University were able to get images of their brains at work.
Researcher Attila Andics said it helped them better understand the dogs’ relationship with humans. “We have known for a long time that dogs and humans share similar social environment, but now our results show that dogs and humans also have similar brain mechanisms (方法;机制) to process social information,” said Andics.
After training 11 dogs to stay motionless while their brains were scanned, the researchers checked their neurological (神经系统的) responses to about 200 emotionally significant sounds, from whining and crying to playful barking and laughing. They then compared the responses from human subjects. They found great similarities. Andics said it opened new possibilities for the research.
“It establishes a foundation of a new branch of comparative neuroscience, because until now it was not possible to measure the brain activities of a non-primate and a primate (灵长类) brain in a single experiment,” said
Andies.
Evan Maclean, Professor in Duke University, said that the Hungarian results were an important step forward.
“We’ve known for a long time that dogs have a lot of behavioral similarities compared to humans. But we don’t know anything or very little at least about whether some of these behaviors are represented similarly inside the brain of the dog, so this research is providing a first glimpse into whether these behavioral similarities are underlined by similar neural processes,” said MacLean.
The Hungarian scientists tell ordinary dog owners to treat their dog companions as intelligent friends, not mere animals, because they evidently understand human feelings.
36.Why were treats used in the research
A.To reduce dogs’ nervousness.
B.To help dogs live a still life.
C.To find out dogs’ favorite food.
D.To analyze dogs’ images of brains.
37.Through the new research, the scientists find that .
A.dogs are unlikely to understand human feelings
B.dogs eagerly accept human beings as their best friends
C.dogs tend to have different responses to different sounds
D.dogs are close to humans in processing social information
38.The researchers compare the neurological responses of the dogs with those of human subjects by .
A.analyzing their physical movements
B.observing their facial expressions
C.measuring brain activities through scanning
D.assessing their different vocalizations
39.How should we treat dogs according to the scientists
A.Treating them as private property.
B.Considering them as smart creatures.
C.Regarding them as wild animals.
D.Viewing them as tools for specific tasks.
40.What is the value of the research
A.To call on dog owners to treat dogs well.
B.To advance the research on dogs’ brains.
C.To establish comparative neuroscience.
D.To reveal why dogs are men’s best friends.
(2024·天津河东·一模)Do you feel stressed Research on the mental health condition of senior high school students from China, US, South Korea and Japan has recently been released. The research was carried out jointly by China Youth and Children Research Center, National Institution for Youth Education of Japan and National Youth Policy Institute of Korea.
The results showed that senior high students are at the lowest point of mental health level among all adolescent (青春期的) pared to students from the US, South Korea and Japan, Chinese students show a low level of emotional health, self evaluation and interpersonal support. Life habits (sleep, phone dependence, etc), stress and social support (parental, peer and teacher support) are important factors affecting the mental health of senior high students in China.
However, the confidence level of Chinese high school students is the highest among those of all four countries. For example, when it comes to statements like “I believe I can reach my goals”, over 80 percent of Chinese students chose “agree”. In spite of this, some Chinese students lack a sense of self-worth and willpower, leading to difficulties in forming their identity in the process of becoming adults.
Chen Yue, a mental counselor from a foreign languages school in Beijing, said that he has seen behavior in class that reflects the research results. “The reasons behind that can be linked to parents who may take too much control in junior high period and now feel kind of lost in their children’s transitional stage to adulthood,” Chen said. “Also, students tend to attach greater importance to interpersonal relationships in senior high and even link it to their self-evaluation.”
Chen also pointed out that students’ relationship with phones is delicate. “Many teachers and parents simply ban students from using phones without realizing that phones are more than a tool of entertainment, but rather a territory of personal space and connection to the social world,” said Chen, “therefore, an appropriate amount of freedom is crucial.”
Meanwhile, some students have their own way to deal with interpersonal relationships. Chen Yeliang, a 17-year-old senior high student, said that if she doesn’t get along with someone. she wouldn’t attribute (归因于) it to herself. “It just means that we are from different worlds and the time spent on each other is not worth it,” she said.
41.What did the research find about Chinese senior high students
A.They are the most confident.
B.They have the most social support.
C.They have the most mental problems.
D.They have the highest level of self-evaluation.
42.How did researchers carry out the study
A.By comparing respondents’ backgrounds.
B.By doing interviews and mental tests.
C.By conducting a questionnaire.
D.By studying the findings of previous research.
43.What is a reason behind Chinese students’ behavior in class according to Chen
A.They value friends over parents. B.They want to behave like adults.
C.They desire their parents’ attention. D.They focus more on relationships.
44.What will Chen Yeliang do if she doesn’t get along with others
A.Just let it be. B.Reflect on herself.
C.Communicate openly. D.Spend more time together.
45.What might be the author’s purpose in writing this passage
A.To show the reason for feeling stressed.
B.To get the young people know the result of feeling stressed.
C.To find out how senior high school students get along with others.
D.To show the research on the mental health condition of senior high school students.
(2024·天津河东·一模)“I can’t live without my mobile phone!” is what I often hear people say as they talk about how mobiles have become an essential part of their lives.
The all so common sight of heads bent, eyes staring at mobile screens and fingers busy tapping away repeats itself across major cities around the world. Whenever there is a moment to spare while on the train, taxi or waiting in a queue, people busy themselves with their mobile phones.
Some people believe our unhealthy obsession with mobile phones is destroying how we appreciate the little things in life or miss the moments that matter. The truth is that technology overall should be seen as a tool to improve our lives.
Mobile phones have certainly had a great influence on our lives, but I truly believe it’s for the better.
It’s changed the way we communicate, whether for work or play. We are now less constrained (限制) by time and geographical location. With my mobile phone, I can dial into conference calls while stuck in a traffic jam, or reply to urgent e-mails while on the go. I can send a text message or share photos and videos with friends who aren’t living in the same country. My phone calendar keeps my life organized, and even Facebook. Twitter, and instant messaging are now accessible from mobile phones!
The mobile revolution isn’t just changing the lives of urbanite like myself. I know of a young Bangladeshi woman named Shompa Akhter who is crazy about fashion and design. She dreamt about starting her own business and she did just that, opening a shop in Kushtia featuring her own creations. Dealing with suppliers in different towns was a problem for Shompa-purchase orders had to either be hand delivered or mailed out to suppliers. Shompa also found it tough publicizing (宣传) her business to potential customers outside her town. But once she learnt to operate the mobile phone, she was addicted. The 25-year-old businesswoman now stays in touch easily with her suppliers. Mobile e-mail is a blessing in her life. Who would have thought that mobility could bring about such enormous change It shouldn’t really be a surprise though.
46.The author intends to ____by citing a common saying about mobile phones at the beginning.
A.attract the readers’ attention
B.introduce the topic
C.stress how mobile phones affect our lives
D.share his own feelings about mobile phones
47.In the first two paragraphs, the author wants to show ____.
A.mobile phones make people communicate less
B.mobile phones make people’s life more enjoyable
C.people’s health is greatly affected by mobile phones
D.people become addicted to mobile phones in daily life
48.What’s the author’s attitude towards mobile phones
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. C.Critical. D.Uninterested.
49.Paragraph 5 is mainly about ____.
A.new functions of mobile phones B.new changes in Information Age
C.the advantages of mobile phones D.the author’s personal experiences
50.What do we know about Shompa from the passage
A.She operates a food store.
B.She is addicted to Internet surfing.
C.Mobile e-mail is still unavailable to her.
D.Her mobile phone helped her business a lot.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍的是尽管网课早在几十年前以及开始普及,但是作者认为网课只是满足课程需求的一种手段。
1.推理判断题。根据第三段“First of all, students lack the desire to learn, and they simply complete their assignments to receive credit for a passing grade rather than genuinely engage with the course material.(首先,学生缺乏学习欲望,他们只是完成作业以获得学分,而不是真正参与课程材料。)”可知,学生上网课只是为了修学分,并没有真正地进行课程学习,缺乏学习的欲望,即学生没有学习的动力。故选B项。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段中的“As online courses tend to have more than 100 students, most of the assignments are short and simple. They are not designed for students to interact with the material in depth but designed to be graded casily to accommodate such a large number of students.(由于在线课程往往有超过 100 名学生,因此大多数作业都简短而简单。它们不是为了让学生与材料进行深入互动而设计的,而是设计为易于评分以容纳如此多的学生。)”可知,网课上的课程任务设计不是为了让学生深入去研究课程,只是为了给众多的学生评分简便。故选A项。
3.细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“There is also little interaction amongst students. It can be harder for students to create study groups and form relationships with their peers.(学生之间的互动也很少。对于学生来说,创建学习小组和与同龄人建立关系可能会更加困难。)”可知,网课缺乏学生之间的互动,很难建立学习小组与同龄人建立关系,由此可知,作者认为网课缺点之一是它们几乎没有为学生提供相互建立关系的机会。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Online classes also require either a computer or laptop and a reliable Internet connection. Not all students have access to these types of resources, whether it is for financial or other reasons, and some students can be put at a disadvantage.(在线课程还需要一台电脑或笔记本电脑以及可靠的互联网连接。并非所有学生都能获得这些类型的资源,无论是出于经济原因还是其他原因,有些学生可能会处于不利地位。)”可知,上网课需要的硬件条件可能有些学生无法满足,由此可推断有些学生就无法上网课。故选C项。
5.推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“However, they fail to provide a genuine education with an emphasis on convenience rather than critical thinking.(然而,他们没有提供真正的教育,一味强
调便捷而不是批判性思维。)”可知,作者认为在线课程一味地强调便捷而忽视了批判性思维的培养,也就不能提供真正的教育,故批判性思维的培养应是真正的教育的关键。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了我们的大脑倾向于美化过去的经历,解释了这一现象产生的原因以及影响。
6.细节理解题。根据第一段“We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past.(我们有时认为过去的一切都好得多,容易得多)”可知,当我们想起过去时,我们通常会美化过去的经历。故选B。
7.词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive generalities than annoying details.(之所以会发生这种情况,是因为当我们回想过去时,我们更倾向于关注积极的概况,而不是恼人的细节)”可知,这种思维方式的出现是因为我们回想过去,更偏爱好的记忆。故划线词意思是“偏爱好的记忆”。故选A。
8.细节理解题。根据第四段“The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. It’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.(我们经历一段关系的负面影响的时间越长,我们就越有可能让美好的记忆超过糟糕的记忆,也许会原谅不可原谅的行为。用健康的怀疑态度来回顾我们的怀旧情绪总是一个好主意)”可知,批判性地回顾怀旧情绪是作者所鼓励的。故选A。
9.主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to exhibit psychological disorders. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they’re not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don’t use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.(但乐观的回顾确实有一个重要的目的。它让我们保持积极的心态,对我们的心理健康很重要。事实上,那些更倾向于记住消极经历而不是积极经历的人很可能表现出心理障碍。研究普遍表明,我们最幸福的日子还未到来。即使它们
不是,重要的是要相信它们是。不要羞于带着某种程度的怀旧去回顾过去。但是,出于同样的原因,不要把过去作为现在不开心的借口)”可知,最后一段的主旨是保持积极心态的重要性。故选C。
10.推理判断题。根据第二段“Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection, which is a well-studied cognitive bias.(事实上,客观上讲,过去的情况不太可能比现在好。这种思维方式被称为玫瑰色回顾,这是一种经过充分研究的认知偏见)”以及最后一段“But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our psychological wellbeing.(但乐观的回顾确实有一个重要的目的。它让我们保持积极的心态,对我们的心理健康很重要)”可推知,作者提到了玫瑰色回顾的缺点和优点,即对玫瑰色的回顾持客观态度。故选D。
11.A 12.C 13.D 14.B 15.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过具体的实例讲述了肢体语言在交流中的运用。
11.推理判断题。根据第一段“We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.(在与他人的互动中,我们使用语言和肢体语言来表达我们的想法和观点。我们可以通过观察他们的肢体语言来了解他们的想法。语言很重要,但是人们站立的方式,握着他们的手臂,移动他们的手也可以告诉我们他们的感受)”可推知,肢体语言和口语一样重要。故选A项。
12.细节理解题。根据第二段“Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in.(就像口语一样,肢体语言因文化而异。最重要的是,使用肢体语言的方式要与你所处的文化相适应)”可知,使用肢体语言最重要的一点是应该尊重当地文化。故选C项。
13.推理判断题。根据第三段“The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite.(“OK”的手势在不同的文化中有不同的含义。在日本,看到别人做这个手势
的人可能会认为这是钱的意思。在法国,遇到相同手势的人可能会把它理解为零。然而,在巴西和德国,你应该避免做这个手势,因为这被认为是不礼貌的)”可知,本段中的“OK”例子,是为了表明同样的手势在不同的地方可能有不同的含义。故选D项。
14.推理判断题。根据第四段“Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By comparison, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning. There are also differences in how we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we are talking to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the cheek when they meet. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing from the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else.(甚至我们用来表示“是”和“不是”的手势在世界各地也不同。在许多国家,摇头表示“不”,点头表示“是”。相比之下,在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部,这些手势的意思正好相反。在我们如何触摸对方、与谈话对象站得有多近、见面或分手时的行为等方面也存在差异。在法国和俄罗斯这样的国家,人们见面时可能会亲吻朋友的脸颊。在其他地方,人们喜欢在见到别人时握手、鞠躬或点头)”可知,在阿尔巴尼亚南部,摇头表示“是”。故选B项。
15.词句猜测题。根据前文“A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.(微笑可以帮助我们度过难关,在陌生人的世界里找到朋友)”可知,“A smile can break down barriers.(微笑可以打破障碍)”的意思是微笑是建立和加强社会关系的有力工具。故选D项。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。我们需要训练自己成为更好的学习者——积极参与学习过程,反思我们所学到的东西。这些学习行为被称为“主动学习”。作者建议做四件事来在你的学习中发挥积极作用。
16.细节理解题。由文章Listen to the outer voice部分中“Your inner voice expresses your personal opinions, while the outer voice tells you about opinions from what you hear or read. (你内心的声音表达了你的个人观点,而外在的声音告诉你你所听到或读到的观点。)”可知,你内心的声音就是你的想法。故选B。
17.细节理解题。由文章Ask questions部分“Asking questions is the easiest way to promote active learning. When you get information from someone, from books or the Internet, ask two, three,
even five question about the topic. The answers will lead you to further learning, and the very act of working out questions will help you to achieve a higher level of understanding about the topic. In short: Do not stop being curious. (提问是促进主动学习最简单的方法。当你从别人那里获得信息,从书或互联网上,问两个,三个,甚至五个关于这个话题的问题。答案会引导你进一步学习,而解决问题的行为会帮助你对主题有更高的理解。简而言之:不要停止好奇。)”可知,提问有助于积极学习。故选C。
18.细节理解题。由文章Get to the truth部分中“Active learners do not accept everything they learn. They attempt to find the truth at the heart of each idea. (主动学习者不会接受他们所学的一切。他们试图在每个观点的核心找到真相。)”可知,积极学习者总是试图在每一种观点的核心找到真相。故选D。
19.推理判断题。由文章Focus on the message部分“Many people miss out on learning opportunities because they let their feelings get in the way. They refuse to learn or ignore what is said because of who the speaker/ writer is. It is true that we cannot help disliking some people —this is human nature, after all. But do not forget you can still learn from them. Active learners do not judge people based on firs impressions or personal feelings. Instead, they separate the message from the message. This goes the other way as well---do not just assume that some people are always right because of who they are or just because they are your friends. (许多人错过了学习的机会,因为他们让自己的感觉挡住了去路。他们拒绝因为说话者/作者的身份而学习或忽略所说的内容。的确,我们难免不喜欢某些人——毕竟这是人的本性。但不要忘记你仍然可以从中学习。主动学习者不会根据第一印象或个人感受来判断别人。相反,它们将消息与消息分开。反之亦然——不要仅仅因为他们是谁或者他们是你的朋友就认为有些人总是对的。)”可知,我们喜欢的人可能并不总是对的。故选D。
20.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第一段中“We need to train ourselves to be better learners—to actively take part in the learning process and to reflect on what we have learnt. These kinds of learning behaviours are called “active learning”. I suggest doing four things to take an active role in your learning. (我们需要训练自己成为更好的学习者——积极参与学习过程,反思我们所学到的东西。这些学习行为被称为“主动学习”。我建议做四件事来在你的学习中发挥积极作用。)”可知,我们需要训练自己成为更好的学习者,作者建议做四件事来在你的学习中发挥积极作用。作者写这篇文章的目的是提供一些关于如何积极学习的提示。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究发现,该研究通过分析孩子们对赞美的不同反应,提出应该主要根据孩子的努力来赞美他们,而不是根据他们的个人特点。
21.推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要讨论的是父母如何正确地赞美孩子,包括孩子对赞美的反应,如何根据孩子的努力来赞美他们,而不是根据他们的个人特点,以及赞美孩子时需要注意的问题。因此,文章的预期读者是父母。故选B。
22.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Kids and teens are often dismissive of praise from their parents. I am sure that parents out there can relate to this, as we all have been told at one time or another by one or several of our kids, “Stop it, Mom.” or even, “You’re just saying that because you are my parents, and you have to say that.”(孩子和青少年往往对父母的表扬不屑一顾。我相信父母们都能体会到这一点,因为我们都曾被一个或几个孩子告诉过:“别这样,妈妈。甚至,“你们这么说是因为你们是我的父母,你们必须这么说。”)”可知,孩子总是不太在意家长的表扬。故选D。
23.推理判断题。根据文章第二段“These researchers concluded that kids should be praised primarily for their efforts, rather than for their personal characteristics, because if they are praised for their efforts, then a poor performance is more likely to be seen as a glitch (小故障), rather than a valid reflection of who they are as individuals.(这些研究人员得出结论,孩子们应该主要被表扬他们的努力,而不是他们的个人特征,因为如果他们的努力得到表扬,那么糟糕的表现更有可能被视为一个小故障,而不是对他们作为个人的有效反映。)”可知,研究人员认为表扬孩子应该表扬孩子的努力。选项D“Your painting has indeed improved due to your efforts.(由于你的努力,你的画确实有了进步。)”符合研究人员的表扬要求。故选D。
24.词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文的“you are merely average(自己只是普通)”以及划线单词前的“even”可判断,你只是一般人,甚至是愚蠢。选项A“stupid (愚蠢的)”;选项B“unique (独特的)”;选项C“curious (好奇的)”;选项D“honest (诚实的)”。故选A。
25.主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Just be careful how you praise them. A little praise may go a long way-especially if it is the right kind of praise.(只是要注意你赞美他们的方式。一点表扬可能会有很长的路要走——尤其是如果是正确的表扬。)”、第二段“It appears that the way to go is to praise their efforts according to a study by Brummelman of Utrecht University in the Netherlands and his colleagues.(根据荷兰乌得勒支大学的Brummelman和他的同事的一项研究,似乎要走的路是赞扬他们的努力。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讨论的是如何正确地
赞美孩子和青少年,即正确的赞美方式。文章首先提到孩子们经常对父母的赞美不屑一顾,但父母应该继续赞美他们,只是要注意赞美的方式。接着,文章通过一项研究指出,应该主要根据孩子的努力来赞美他们,而不是根据他们的个人特点。因此,文章主要讨论的是如何正确地赞美孩子和青少年。故选B。

26.细节理解题。根据第一段“As we know, in the field of education, the ability to read fluently and comprehend written text holds the key to unlocking a world of knowledge and opportunities. For children between the ages of 5 and 10, this skill is particularly crucial, as it forms the foundation for their academic and personal growth. (正如我们所知,在教育领域,流利阅读和理解书面文本的能力是打开知识和机会世界的钥匙。对于5到10岁的孩子来说,这项技能尤为重要,因为它是他们学业和个人成长的基础。)”根据第三段“In essence, you help young readers make progress and open up a world of opportunity for their future.”(从本质上讲,你帮助年轻读者取得进步,为他们的未来打开一个充满机会的世界)可知阅读计划对孩子的影响是为学习和未来的成功打下基础,故选D。
27.细节理解题。根据第二段“We ask all our volunteers to complete at least three programs a year, so we can continue to support as many children as possible. (我们要求所有志愿者每年至少完成三个项目,这样我们就可以继续支持尽可能多的孩子。)”可知要求志愿者每年至少参加三个项目来确保对儿童的稳定支持,故选A。
28.推理判断题。根据Remember: YOUR TIME, THEIR FUTURE下的“**help boost a child’s confidence by giving them one-to-one attention. (**给予孩子一对一的关注有助于增强他们的信心。)”可知最有可能成为潜在申请人的应该是有一颗帮助他人的心的人。故选C。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段“With just one hour of your time each week, you can make a profound difference in a child’s life, nurturing their love for reading and fostering (促进) their ability to navigate the vast ocean of written communication. In essence, you help young readers make progress and open up a world of opportunity for their future. (每周只花一个小时,你就能给孩子的生活带来深远的影响,培养他们对阅读的热爱,培养他们在浩瀚的书面交流海洋中航行的能力。从本质上讲,你帮助年轻读者取得进步,为他们的未来打开一个充满机会的世界。)”可知阅读计划的主要目的是提高儿童的读写能力和阅读热情,故选A。
30.细节理解题。根据最后一段“Taking time out of your day to read with a child can support your own well-being as you enjoy a new experience. (从你的一天中抽出时间和孩子一起阅读,当你享受一种新的体验时,可以支持你自己的快乐。)”可知和孩子一起读书能得到帮助孩子成长的乐趣,故选B。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了牛津大学的Lindson-Hawley现在研究的一项课题。通过研究700名成年的吸烟者,她发现逐步戒烟有可能会更能使人上瘾甚至出现脱瘾症状。而突然戒烟更有效。
31.细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger (我觉得这个话题很有趣的原因之一是因为我妈妈在我小的时候抽烟)”以及第二段讲到“By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely. (通过研究大约700名成年吸烟者,她发现她的妈妈戒烟的方法是正确的——突然彻底戒烟)”可知,根据第一段的信息可得出Lindson-Hawley的母亲曾经是一位吸烟者,第二段中她发现她的母亲有效地戒烟了,而且很突然、很彻底。可知,Lindson-Hawley的母亲突然成功地戒烟了。故选D。
32.细节理解题。文章第三段讲到“People in both groups used nicotine(尼古丁) patches before they quit, in addition to a second form of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day. (这两组人在戒烟前都使用了尼古丁贴片,此外还有第二种形式的尼古丁替代品,如口香糖或喷雾。在戒烟前后,他们还和一名护士进行了谈话治疗)”可知,提到两组志愿者在戒烟前除了使用尼古丁替代疗法之外,还使用nicotine patches尼古丁贴片(一种戒烟贴)。他们还在戒烟前后接受护士的talk therapy(谈话治疗)。因此,在研究中,吸烟者接受了吸烟者尼古丁替代品支持。故选A。
33.推理判断题。文章第五段讲到“When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that’s convincing. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it (当你可以引用一个特定的数字,比如五分之一的患者能够戒烟,这是令人信服的。我认为,这给了他们真正努力的鼓励)”可知,Gabriela Ferreira博士认为Lindson-Hawley的研究结果令人鼓舞。故选C。
34.词义猜测题。文章第五段第一句讲到“And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they’d rather cut down gradually before
quitting (考虑到在研究开始之前,大多数人都表示他们宁愿在戒烟前逐渐减少吸烟,戒烟率尤其令人信服)”以及a marathon后文“Well, if I gradually reduce, it’s like practice (好吧,如果我逐渐减少,就像练习一样)”可知,“马拉松”的想法说明了戒烟首先需要一些练习。故选B。
35.推理判断题。文章第五段讲到“Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾) and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point .(这种逐渐减少的做法非但没有让人们练习,反而可能在他们达到戒烟日之前就给他们带来食欲和戒断症状,这可能就是为什么这一群体中真正达到这一点的人更少的原因)”可知,当人们尝试逐渐戒烟时会发现这甚至更难。故选D。
36.A 37.D 38.C 39.B 40.D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲的是新的研究结果表明狗和人类也有相似的大脑机制来处理社会信息。
36.推理判断题。根据第二段“Dogs are usually not relaxed in a lab environment, but with a little petting and lots of treats, they can be trained to sit still even in an MRI (磁共振成像) scanner.(狗在实验室环境中通常不会放松,但只要轻轻抚摸和大量的食物,它们就可以被训练成即使在核磁共振扫描仪中也能安静地坐着。)”可知,在研究中使用零食是为了减少狗狗的紧张情绪。故选A。
37.细节理解题。根据第三段“We have known for a long time that dogs and humans share similar social environment, but now our results show that dogs and humans also have similar brain mechanisms (方法;机制) to process social information(我们早就知道狗和人类有着相似的社会环境,但现在我们的研究结果表明,狗和人类也有相似的大脑机制来处理社会信息)”可知,通过这项新的研究,科学家们发现狗在处理社会信息方面与人类接近。故选D。
38.细节理解题。根据第四段“After training 11 dogs to stay motionless while their brains were scanned, the researchers checked their neurological (神经系统的) responses to about 200 emotionally significant sounds, from whining and crying to playful barking and laughing. They then compared the responses from human subjects. They found great similarities. Andics said it opened new possibilities for the research.(在对11只狗进行大脑扫描时,研究人员先训练它们保持不动,然后检查它们对大约200种具有情感意义的声音(从呜咽、哭泣到顽皮的吠叫和
笑声)的神经反应。然后,他们比较了人类受试者的反应。他们发现了很多相似之处。安迪克斯说,这为研究开辟了新的可能性。)”可知,研究人员通过扫描测量大脑活动将狗和人类受试者的神经反应进行了比较。故选C。
39.细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Hungarian scientists tell ordinary dog owners to treat their dog companions as intelligent friends, not mere animals, because they evidently understand human feelings.(匈牙利科学家告诉普通的狗主人,要把他们的狗当作聪明的朋友,而不仅仅是动物,因为它们显然能理解人类的感情。)”可知,科学家们认为我们应该认为狗是聪明的生物。故选B。
40.推理判断题。根据第一段“Dogs have been man’s best friends for 30,000 years—and now scientists think they know why.(3万年来,狗一直是人类最好的朋友,现在科学家们认为他们知道为什么了。)”可知,这项研究的价值是揭示了为什么狗是人类最好的朋友。故选D。

43.细节理解题。根据第四段“Chen Yue, a mental counselor from a foreign languages school in Beijing, said that he has seen behavior in class that reflects the research results. “The reasons behind that can be linked to parents who may take too much control in junior high period and now feel kind of lost in their children’s transitional stage to adulthood,” Chen said. “Also, students tend to attach greater importance to interpersonal relationships in senior high and even link it to their self-evaluation.”(来自北京一所外国语学校的心理咨询师Chen Yue表示,他已经看到学生们在课堂上的行为反映了研究结果。陈说:“这背后的原因可能与父母在初中时期控制得太多
有关,现在在孩子向成年的过渡阶段感到有点迷失。此外,高中生往往更加重视人际关系,甚至将其与自我评价联系起来。”)”可知,Chen Yue认为,中国学生在课堂上的行为背后的原因是他们更注重人际关系。故选D项。
44.推理判断题。根据最后一段“Chen Yeliang, a 17-year-old senior high student, said that if she doesn’t get along with someone. she wouldn’t attribute (归因于) it to herself. “It just means that we are from different worlds and the time spent on each other is not worth it,” she said.(17岁的高中生Chen Yeliang表示,如果她和别人相处不好。她不会把这归咎于自己。她说:“这只是意味着我们来自不同的世界,花在彼此身上的时间不值得。”)”可知,如果Chen Yeliang和别人相处不好,她只是认为他们来自不同的世界,而不会归咎于自己,所以是随它去吧。故选A项。
45.推理判断题。根据第一段“Do you feel stressed Research on the mental health condition of senior high school students from China, US, South Korea and Japan has recently been released. The research was carried out jointly by China Youth and Children Research Center, National Institution for Youth Education of Japan and National Youth Policy Institute of Korea.(你感到压力大吗?最近,来自中国、美国、韩国和日本的高中生心理健康状况研究报告发布。这项研究是由中国青少年研究中心、日本国立青少年教育研究所和韩国国立青少年政策研究所联合进行的)”以及纵观全文可知,本文主要展示对高中生心理健康状况的调查。故选D项。
