My wife always wanted a Vizsla, so when we got the house, the garden and everything sorted, we did some research and found a lovely breeder (饲养员) based in Scotland. He was in charge of everything, so a few months go by and the next thing I know, we’ve got a puppy!
I’ve grown up with animals all my life, and I’m so glad I have. I love the fact that I was never afraid of any animals. Although you do obviously have to be careful when introducing children to a dog they don’t know, because you don’t know how it’s going to behave, it always saddens me when I see children scared when they walk past Pedro. I think it’s great for kids to learn how to look after an animal.
And obviously for us, as a family, it’s brilliant because we take Pedro for so many walks. It’s a bit of a family bonding experience getting out in the fresh air; taking Pedro for a walk multiple times a day is just really lovely. Meanwhile, the most rewarding, I think, is just seeing how amazing he is with the kids. He is so calm, so protective, so loving, and we are his world.
I think the most challenging aspects with Pedro were when he was a puppy (小狗). He was pretty hard work. He was never aggressive, but he was quite bitey as puppies are, constantly pulling out your clothes and putting holes in them, which is very annoying. He chewed the furniture-my sofas are barely standing up; their wooden legs are almost in pieces. Obviously, the dog training in the house was quite stressful and his jumping at strangers in the park and running off was always quite scary.
As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life.

If you’ve scrolled through your Facebook feed recently you may have noticed something surprising: lots and lots of short videos.
What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done.
However, as silly as it seems, Reels-is actually super important, and is at the centre of a major battle between the world’s largest tech firms. The format (格式) was first pioneered by TikTok-the Chinese-owned video app that has taken the world by storm since it launched in 2016. Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month-including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos.
The format is almost perfectly optimised to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. And because it is portrait, not landscape, videos look “right” when viewed on your phone. What’s also smart is that TikTok’s algorithm (算法) picks videos for you based on what you actually watch, and not what you say you want.
Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube(which it owns)a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them.
28. Why did the author mention his own experience in paragraph 2
A. To illustrate the feature of short videos.
B. To stress the importance of short videos.
C. To prove his preference to short videos.
D. To introduce the functions of short videos.
29. What do we know about TikTok according to the passage
A. It has shown the trend of the fall in popularity among “Gen Z”.
B. It is perceived as a potential threat to Facebook’s social media dominance.
C. Its number of registered UK users has reached 23 million since it launched in 2016.
D. It underestimates the essential role of short videos in competition with large tech firms.
30. What makes the short videos on TikTok App so popular
A. The beautiful visual effects.
B. The high video quality.
C. The random recommendation.
D. The quick switch between videos.
31. What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph
A. The short videos have a profound impact on our daily life.
B. TikTok seems to be losing its advantage over short videos in the short run.
C. YouTube and Facebook may encounter financial difficulties in developing Shorts.
D. A growing number of tech firms have engaged in fierce competition for the short video market.

If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on secrecy suggest it is bad for our well-being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy inherently bad for our well-being or do the negative effects of secrecy tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
The research nuances our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be intensely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting of our emotions, ” Slepian said. “Having extra time days, weeks or even longer-to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
32. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A. One-sided. B. Pointless. C. Convincing. D. Pioneering.
33. In the experiment, some participants were more energized because ______.
A. they were optimistic and cheerful.
B. they were free from secrets.
C. they had undisclosed positive secrets.
D. they had shared good news with others.
34. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Spoil. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Panic.
35. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A. Never reveal a secret casually.
B. Let your imagination run wild.
C. Be creative when surprising others.
D. Delay sharing a positive secret.

67. 阅读下面材料，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。
I stared at myself in the mirror: blue tights, yellow vest, a fish tail trailing behind me, and large eyes sitting at op my head. I raised my eyebrows and sighed.
“Mom, I don’t think this costume is right,” I said. “Maybe the makeup will add something,” Mom replied hopefully.
Somehow Mom had convinced me to play the Fish Footman in Alice in Wonderland. I can’t say it’s been the time of my life.
“What if I forget my lines ” I hesitated.
“Oh Riley, is that what you’re afraid of I know you’ve been rehearsing for two months, you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.” Mom said, kneeling down and hugging me.
The next day we pulled into the parking lot, and I stepped out of the car, wearing the questionable costume. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup room. When the makeup was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. My jaw dropped.
“Mom! I can’t go onstage like this!” I cried.
“Why not ”
“I’d be a laughing stock (笑柄)! ”
“Riley look around you! You’re not the only one in an odd costume.”
“What if we just sneak out No one will miss me.” I whispered.
Mom’s lips disappeared into a thin line, and I knew I had gone too far. “Riley, I’m going to watch you go out on that stage tonight. And that’s the end of it.” Then mom disappeared into the audience. I sat there, alone and bored, as the play began and the curtain rose on.
The two boys dressed as Two of Clubs (梅花2) near me chatted casually about this and that. Suddenly, they asked, “You’re awfully quiet. Is this your first show ” I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat and refused to escape. I coughed and nearly yelled, “YES!”
The Ace of Diamonds (方块A) sitting nearby laughed. “The audience will certainly hear you if you talk that loud. But you might have to clear your throat first, she chuckled. I gave them a weak smile.
“Don’t worry about us,” the Ace said. “We’re only teasing.”
“Yeah,” the Two said. “When you’ve done as many shows as we have, projecting will be second nature to you.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage uneasily.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly I was determined to make a lasting impression.

(他从来没有攻击性，但他像小狗一样爱咬，经常把你的衣服扯出来，在上面咬出洞，这很烦人。他咬家具——我的沙发几乎立不住；木腿几乎都碎了。显然，在家里训练狗的压力很大，在公园里它对着陌生人跳来跳去然后跑开，总是让人很害怕。)”可知，第四段详细描述了佩德罗作为小狗时的各种捣蛋行为，如咬衣服、啃家具等，以及训练过程中的压力，如它乱跑，这都表明训练小狗是一项挑战。故选D。

推理判断题。由文章最后一段“As a new puppy owner, you’re overloaded with advice from social media, magazines, other dog owners and friends, so finding a source of information you trust is so important and can be a real turning point. I know what it’s like to be bombarded with conflicting information, so I would have really welcomed Royal Canin’s “One in a Billion” platform as a new puppy owner. It’s a one-stop shop for new dog owners: a single source of credible information that is so helpful in navigating the early stages of your puppy’s life. (作为一只小狗的新主人，你从社交媒体、杂志、其他狗主人和朋友那里得到的建议太多了，所以找到一个你信任的信息来源是如此重要，这可能是一个真正的转折点。我知道被相互矛盾的信息轰炸是什么感觉，所以作为一个新的小狗主人，我真的很欢迎Royal Canin的“One in a Billion”平台。这是为新狗主人提供的一站式服务：一个可靠信息的单一来源，对你的小狗的早期生活非常有帮助。)”可知，最后一段提到了Royal Canin的“One in a Billion”，强调这是一个一站式服务，为新狗主人提供了可信的信息来源，帮助他们度过养小狗的早期阶段，这显然是在推荐一个平台给读者。故选A。

If you’ve scrolled through your Facebook feed recently, you may have noticed something surprising: lots and lots of short videos.
What makes this “Reels” feature strange is that it is hugely addictive, which I know quite well from my own personal experience. Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done.
However, as silly as it seems, Reels-is actually super important, and is at the centre of a major battle between the world’s largest tech firms. The format (格式) was first pioneered by TikTok-the Chinese-owned video app that has taken the world by storm since it launched in 2016. Today, TikTok has around 23 million UK users every month-including basically every person you know under the age of 25. And that fact has made Facebook and its parent company, Meta, very nervous indeed. As TikTok has continued to boom, Facebook has actually fallen in popularity among “Gen Z”. The reason Tik Tok has proven such a powerful challenger to Facebook’s social media dominance is almost entirely down to these sorts of short-form videos.
The format is almost perfectly optimised to be as addictive as possible: Tik Tok’s app shows you a short-form video, and if you don’t like it, you can simply swipe it away and another one will start playing instantly. And because it is portrait, not landscape, videos look “right” when viewed on your phone. What’s also smart is that TikTok’s algorithm (算法) picks videos for you based on what you actually watch, and not what you say you want.
Facebook isn’t the only app trying to do what TikTok does so well. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook’s parent company Meta, has integrated Reels even more aggressively into its app. And even Google is nervous, launching its own TikTok-style video section of YouTube(which it owns)a couple of years ago. As things stand, though TikTok currently maintains a healthy lead in the category, both YouTube and Facebook have deep pockets-so expect to see even more Reels and Shorts popping up in your feed as this intense battle continues to rage. You won’t be able to take your eyes off them.

Last Friday, I took a break and hit on one short clip of someone making dinner and, well, the next time I looked up it was 20 minutes later and the blank document on my computer monitor was confirming to me that my work was still not done.

(如今，抖音每月约有2300万英国用户，基本上包括你认识的所有25岁以下的人。这一事实让Facebook及其母公司Meta非常紧张。随着TikTok的持续繁荣，Facebook在“Z世代”中的受欢迎程度实际上有所下降。Tik Tok之所以能成为Facebook社交媒体霸主地位的强大挑战者，几乎完全归功于这类短视频。)”可知，TikTok被视为对Facebook社交媒体主导地位的潜在威胁。故选B。

If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized.
“Decades of research on secrecy suggest it is bad for our well-being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy inherently bad for our well-being or do the negative effects of secrecy tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University.
In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.
The research nuances our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures.
“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be intensely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting of our emotions, ” Slepian said. “Having extra time days, weeks or even longer-to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”
32. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy
A. One-sided. B. Pointless. C. Convincing. D. Pioneering.
33. In the experiment, some participants were more energized because ______.
A. they were optimistic and cheerful.
B. they were free from secrets.
C. they had undisclosed positive secrets.
D. they had shared good news with others.
34. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Spoil. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Panic.
35. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do
A. Never reveal a secret casually.
B. Let your imagination run wild.
C. Be creative when surprising others.
D. Delay sharing a positive secret.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哥伦比亚大学的教授Michael Slepian关于保密的研究，他发现在告诉别人之前把好消息保密可以使人们感到更有活力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Decades of research on secrecy suggest it is bad for our well-being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy inherently bad for our well-being or do the negative effects of secrecy tend to originate from keeping negative secrets ”（几十年来对保密的研究表明，保密对我们的健康有害。然而，这项工作只研究了保守对我们的生活有负面影响的秘密。保密是天生对我们的幸福有害，还是保密的负面影响往往源于保守负面秘密？）可知，Michael Slepian认为以前的研究只关注了保守负面秘密的影响，很片面，忽视了保守积极秘密的影响，故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.”（研究人员发现，反思他们积极秘密的参与者比思考他们不是秘密的好消息的参与者感到更有活力。）可知，一些参与者因为他们有未公开的积极秘密而感到更有活力，故选C。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression.”（消极的秘密往往会deplete，也与焦虑和抑郁症有关。）可推知，负面的秘密有不利影响，往往会耗尽我们。故deplete在此处意为“耗尽”，故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be intensely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting of our emotions”（人们有时会不遗余力地计划透露一个积极的秘密，让它变得更加令人兴奋。这种惊喜可能非常令人愉快，但惊喜是我们情绪中最短暂的。）和“Having extra time days, weeks or even longer-to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.”（有额外的时间——几天，几周甚至更长的时间——想象别人脸上的喜悦惊喜，让我们有更多的时间享受这个激动人心的时刻，即使只是在我们自己的脑海中。）可推知，告诉别人之前把好消息保密可以使人们感到更兴奋，Slepian建议读者延迟分享积极的秘密，故选D。

考查冠词。句意：两名中国研究人员利用秦人在建造兵马俑时所使用的制鞋技术和材料，复制了这双鞋子。copy为可数名词单数，make a copy of意为“复制”符合句意。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：两名中国研究人员利用秦人在建造兵马俑时所使用的制鞋技术和材料，复制了这双鞋子。此处为谓语动词，结合句意可知，此处指的是兵马俑被建造时的事，所以使用一般过去时，且build与主语the warriors之间为被动关系，且主语为名词复数。故填were built。
【59题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：研究发现，这些复制品为佩戴者提供了“更舒适、更稳定、更高效”的行走体验。此处为非谓语动词作定语，结合句意可知，此处表示“行走”应为walking作定语修饰名词experience。故填walking。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意：同样吸引人的是战士们的衣服:它们是糖果色的。此处为副词作状语修饰形容词fascinating，equal的副词为equally意为“同样地”符合句意，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Equally。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：当兵马俑最初被制作出来的时候，他们被涂上了明亮的红色、蓝色和绿色，据信这些颜色与秦国士兵所穿的衣服的颜色相匹配。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以使用关系代词，且先行词a bright array of reds, blues, and greens指事物。故填which。
【62题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：在许多情况下，由于这些兵马俑被大火烧毁或被洪水浸泡了几个世纪，这些颜料并没有保存下来，但有一些兵马俑出土时，它们的原始颜色基本上没有受损。此处为谓语动词，根据句意可知，burn发生在主句谓语动词之前，所以此处可以使用过去完成时，且burn与主语the warriors之间为被动关系，所以使用had been burnt/burned，因after引导的时间状语从句已表明与主句动作的先后关系，所以此处也可使用一般过去时表示发生在过去的事情，且与主语为被动关系，主语为名词复数，所以使用were burnt/burned。故填had been burnt/burned/were burnt/burned。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意：在许多情况下，由于这些兵马俑被大火烧毁或被洪水浸泡了几个世纪，这些颜料并没有保存下来，但有一些兵马俑出土时，它们的原始颜色基本上没有受损。their original colouring为名词短语，damaged为过去分词作宾补，与宾语为被动关系，由此可推断，此处为“with+宾语+宾补”结构。故填with。
【64题详解】
考查动名词。句意：2019年的一项研究发现，这些颜色与各种蛋白质基粘合剂(如鸡蛋、动物胶和牛奶)混合在一起，然后涂在士兵身上，以帮助固定油漆。此处为非谓语动词作宾语，根据空前的介词before可知，此处为动名词作宾语，结合句意，paint与the colors 以及various protein-based binders之间为被动关系，所以使用动名词的被动形式。故填being painted。
【65题详解】
考查名词。句意：基于这项研究的重建似乎表明，秦朝的时尚——至少在军队中——是撞色。此处为名词作主语，reconstruct的名词为reconstruction意为“重建”，根据谓语动词seem为动词原形可知，此处为名词复数，且位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Reconstructions。

67. 阅读下面材料，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。
I stared at myself in the mirror: blue tights, yellow vest, a fish tail trailing behind me, and large eyes sitting at op my head. I raised my eyebrows and sighed.
“Mom, I don’t think this costume is right,” I said. “Maybe the makeup will add something,” Mom replied hopefully.
Somehow Mom had convinced me to play the Fish Footman in Alice in Wonderland. I can’t say it’s been the time of my life.
“What if I forget my lines ” I hesitated.
“Oh Riley, is that what you’re afraid of I know you’ve been rehearsing for two months, you were the first off-book in your scene, and I couldn’t be prouder of you.” Mom said, kneeling down and hugging me.
The next day we pulled into the parking lot, and I stepped out of the car, wearing the questionable costume. I shrank inside myself, but Mom pulled me toward the makeup room. When the makeup was done, I looked at myself in the mirror. My jaw dropped.
“Mom! I can’t go onstage like this!” I cried.
“Why not ”
“I’d be a laughing stock (笑柄)! ”
“Riley, look around you! You’re not the only one in an odd costume.”
“What if we just sneak out No one will miss me.” I whispered.
Mom’s lips disappeared into a thin line, and I knew I had gone too far. “Riley, I’m going to watch you go out on that stage tonight. And that’s the end of it.” Then mom disappeared into the audience. I sat there, alone and bored, as the play began and the curtain rose on.
The two boys dressed as Two of Clubs (梅花2) near me chatted casually about this and that. Suddenly, they asked, “You’re awfully quiet. Is this your first show ” I tried to respond, but my voice caught in my throat and refused to escape. I coughed and nearly yelled, “YES!”
The Ace of Diamonds (方块A) sitting nearby laughed. “The audience will certainly hear you if you talk that loud. But you might have to clear your throat first, she chuckled. I gave them a weak smile.
“Don’t worry about us,” the Ace said. “We’re only teasing.”
“Yeah,” the Two said. “When you’ve done as many shows as we have, projecting will be second nature to you.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage uneasily.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly I was determined to make a lasting impression.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: When my name was called, I stepped onto the stage uneasily. The bright lights blinded me for a moment, and I felt the weight of the audience’s expectant gazes. Despite that, my muscle memory took over. We had rehearsed so many times that I was like a robot, reciting my lines in the most monotone (单调的) voice imaginable. A small part of my brain whispered that I had said these lines much better in rehearsal, but I pushed that voice away. I just wanted to get off stage as fast as possible. Soon, the end of my scene was approaching, and I grew uncomfortably aware that the audience had indeed been very quiet during it. Had I done something wrong Did they not like me
Paragraph 2: Suddenly I was determined to make a lasting impression. I remembered the Two of Clubs and the Ace of Diamonds, their easy confidence. They, too, had started somewhere, likely just as nervous and uncertain as I was now. Then I straightened my spine, cleared my throat, and yelled with all the force I could muster. Obviously, the audience heard me. As the dialogue began, I found my voice, clear and strong, resonating through the theatre. I moved with purpose, embracing the absurdity of my costume and transforming it into a character that was both comical and endearing. With each passing minute, my confidence grew, fueled by the audience response of laughter and applause, their enjoyment tangible proof that I had overcome my fears. As the final curtain fell, Mom found her way backstage, her eyes shining with pride. “You were amazing, Riley,” she whispered. In that moment, I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone, despite the initial hesitation and fear, had led me to discover a strength within myself that I never knew existed.
