第一节 阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C．和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose (不受约束) structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
1. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
2. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
3. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances. B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus. D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
B
Handing your baby a phone or a tablet to play with may seem like a harmless solution when you’re busy, but it could actually affect their development, a new study has found.
Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age l is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication skills, fine motor skills, personal and social skills, and problem- solving skills by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they performed in these developmental domains (领域) at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers’ self- reports.
By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem- solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills, 1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2.By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.
“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (儿科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”
“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added. Looking at people’s faces is when our brains turn on to figure out how to interact with them.
4. What is the main research method used in the study
A. Analyzing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Reviewing literature. D. Doing experiments.
5. What does Dr. John Hutton suggest
A. The impact of screen exposure should be studied.
B. The findings should be applied to certain countries.
C. Global attention should be paid to kids’ screen hours.
D Screens should be introduced to more and more babies.
6. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Faults Can Be Found with Screens
B. What Difficulties A Young Kid Will Face
C. How Screens Change Academic Performance
D. How Screen Time Influences Kids’ Development
C
Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
7. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks
A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
8. How do the high-tech chopsticks work
A. By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
9. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confirm. B. Improve.
C. Change. D. Strengthen.
10. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.
第二节 语句排序（共五小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. Napping benefits are strongest for those with a sleep debt. Shift workers, new parents, and older individuals with poor night-time sleep all seem to benefit. A 2014 review showed that night-shift workers who napped experienced reduced sleepiness and improved performance, even if they felt groggy (眩晕) upon waking (sleep inertia).
B. It’s midafternoon and you start to feel sleepy. Should you take a nap While there is debate over whether napping benefits everyone, research suggests it can boost cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.
C. While short- term benefits of naps are well established, long- term effects are less clear. Mixed research on cardiovascular (心血管的) health has sparked debate. Self- reports on nap frequency and duration are unreliable, complicating the understanding of naps’ health outcomes.
D. A 2021 study found that participants who took a brief nap before solving math problems were 2.7 times more likely to find a shortcut solution than those who stayed awake. Entering light sleep was beneficial but deeper sleep negatively affected creative insight, indicating a “sweet spot” of mental relaxation for eureka moments (顿悟时刻).
E. Psychologist Natalie Dautovich recommends a 20- minute nap for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep for more restorative benefits. Naps longer than 20 minutes but less than60 minutes are most likely to lead to sleep inertia.

A. Napping benefits are strongest for those with a sleep debt. Shift workers, new parents, and older individuals with poor night-time sleep all seem to benefit. A 2014 review showed that night-shift workers who napped experienced reduced sleepiness and improved performance, even if they felt groggy (眩晕的) upon waking (sleep inertia).
B. It’s midafternoon and you start to feel sleepy. Should you take a nap While there is debate over whether napping benefits everyone, research suggests it can boost cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.
C. While short- term benefits of naps are well established, long- term effects are less clear. Mixed research on cardiovascular (心血管的) health has sparked debate. Self- reports on nap frequency and duration are unreliable, complicating the understanding of naps’ health outcomes.
D. A 2021 study found that participants who took a brief nap before solving math problems were 2.7 times more likely to find a shortcut solution than those who stayed awake. Entering light sleep was beneficial, but deeper sleep negatively affected creative insight, indicating a “sweet spot” of mental relaxation for eureka moments (顿悟时刻).
E. Psychologist Natalie Dautovich recommends a 20- minute nap for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep for more restorative benefits. Naps longer than 20 minutes but less than60 minutes are most likely to lead to sleep inertia.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C．和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose (不受约束) structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
1. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
2. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
3. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances. B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus. D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
B
Handing your baby a phone or a tablet to play with may seem like a harmless solution when you’re busy, but it could actually affect their development, a new study has found.
Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age l is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication skills, fine motor skills, personal and social skills, and problem- solving skills by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they performed in these developmental domains (领域) at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers’ self- reports.
By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem- solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills, 1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2.By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.
“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (儿科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”
“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added. Looking at people’s faces is when our brains turn on to figure out how to interact with them.
4. What is the main research method used in the study
A. Analyzing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Reviewing literature. D. Doing experiments.
5. What does Dr. John Hutton suggest
A. The impact of screen exposure should be studied.
B. The findings should be applied to certain countries.
C. Global attention should be paid to kids’ screen hours.
D Screens should be introduced to more and more babies.
6. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Faults Can Be Found with Screens
B. What Difficulties A Young Kid Will Face
C. How Screens Change Academic Performance
D. How Screen Time Influences Kids’ Development
C
Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
7. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks
A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
8. How do the high-tech chopsticks work
A. By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
9. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confirm. B. Improve.
C. Change. D. Strengthen.
10. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.

第一节 阅读理解（共10小题，每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C．和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose (不受约束) structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
1. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
2. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
3. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances. B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus. D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. A
B
Handing your baby a phone or a tablet to play with may seem like a harmless solution when you’re busy, but it could actually affect their development, a new study has found.
Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age l is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication skills, fine motor skills, personal and social skills, and problem- solving skills by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they performed in these developmental domains (领域) at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers’ self- reports.
By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem- solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills, 1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2.By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.
“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (儿科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”
“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added. Looking at people’s faces is when our brains turn on to figure out how to interact with them.
4. What is the main research method used in the study
A. Analyzing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Reviewing literature. D. Doing experiments.
5. What does Dr. John Hutton suggest
A. The impact of screen exposure should be studied.
B. The findings should be applied to certain countries.
C. Global attention should be paid to kids’ screen hours.
D. Screens should be introduced to more and more babies.
6. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Faults Can Be Found with Screens
B. What Difficulties A Young Kid Will Face
C. How Screens Change Academic Performance
D. How Screen Time Influences Kids’ Development
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D
C
Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (离子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
7. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks
A To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
8. How do the high-tech chopsticks work
A. By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
9. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confirm. B. Improve.
C. Change. D. Strengthen.
10. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】7. D 8. D 9. A 10. B
第二节 语句排序（共五小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
11. 将下列几个部分(A、B、C、D和E)按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。
A. Napping benefits are strongest for those with a sleep debt. Shift workers, new parents, and older individuals with poor night-time sleep all seem to benefit. A 2014 review showed that night-shift workers who napped experienced reduced sleepiness and improved performance, even if they felt groggy (眩晕的) upon waking (sleep inertia).
B. It’s midafternoon and you start to feel sleepy. Should you take a nap While there is debate over whether napping benefits everyone, research suggests it can boost cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.
C. While short- term benefits of naps are well established, long- term effects are less clear. Mixed research on cardiovascular (心血管的) health has sparked debate. Self- reports on nap frequency and duration are unreliable, complicating the understanding of naps’ health outcomes.
D. A 2021 study found that participants who took a brief nap before solving math problems were 2.7 times more likely to find a shortcut solution than those who stayed awake. Entering light sleep was beneficial, but deeper sleep negatively affected creative insight, indicating a “sweet spot” of mental relaxation for eureka moments (顿悟时刻).
E. Psychologist Natalie Dautovich recommends a 20- minute nap for recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep for more restorative benefits. Naps longer than 20 minutes but less than60 minutes are most likely to lead to sleep inertia.
__________→___________→ ___________→__________→__________
【答案】 ①. B ②. D ③. A ④. E ⑤. C
