By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time, he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page-turner. “ 1 not being a trained musician, I’ve learned to read music to assist Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but 2 (act) as the group’s official page-turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score. In this way, the musicians don’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it 3 . He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
Being a page-turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music 4 go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 pages of turns, including back turns for repeat passages. 5 matters is onstage communication. Each pianist has their own style of “nodding” 6 ( indicate) a page turn that they need to practise with their page-turner.
But like all performances, there are moments 7 things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily, I was able to catch them and put them back.”
8 most page-turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“Sometimes my husband is not an attentive page-turner. He’s interested in the music, 9 (feel) every note, but I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ ” she laughed. “But Robert is 10 (qualified) page-turner I’ve had in my entire life.”

Unfamiliar Music May Help People Chat at Parties
If you want your guests to be particularly sociable at an upcoming party, make sure you play music they probably haven’t heard before.
To explore how background music affects the way we 11 conversations, researchers Jane Brown and Gavin Bidelman conducted a study analyzing the brain activity of 31 individuals aged21 and 33. During the experiment, participants listened to 72 minutes of an audiobook (有声读物), which the pair used as a replacement for 12 on someone talking, while background music was accompanied by the audiobook for most of the time.
For half of the experiment, the participants were asked to focus on2-minute parts of an unfamiliar audiobook read by a man. The rest of the time, they were told to focus on four background songs, which were similarly 13 for2 minutes at a time. This 14 in voices aimed to assess participants’ ability to shift attention between two distinctly different voices.
During the experiment, all the participants wore 15 caps to monitor the electrical activity taking place in their brains. This 16 of electrical activity was the key. It allowed Brown and Bidelman to discover how efficiently these individuals could focus on either the audiobook or the music when 17 to do so. The finding revealed that the participants could 18 turn their attention to the audiobook if the background music was unfamiliar to them.
Following the task, the participants completed a music perception survey evaluating their musical skills, such as the capacity to 19 whether a pair of similar-sounding tunes are the same. Notably, those with lower musical scores demonstrated slower attentional shifts between songs and audiobooks, suggesting a(n) 20 link between musical ability and attention management skills.
Reading Comprehension (21 – 35题，每题1分；36 – 50题，每题2分；共45分)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Anyone who has ever witnessed the miracle in which infants progress from mewling to “Mama” to “Mine!” knows how critical it is for youngsters to hear normally before they speak their first words. 21 , many children who don’t talk by age two turn out to be deaf. The sooner their disability is discovered and 22 , the less likely they are to fall behind in the development of important language and social skills. That is why a growing number of hearing specialists (audiologists) and parents are campaigning for 23 screening of newborns for hearing loss.
Their 24 has registered in some powerful ears. To date, 22 states have passed legislation requiring at least partial screening programs. Part of the push stems from 25 in technology that, among other things, allow children as young as two months to be 26 hearing aids. But there are limits to the technology. One thing parents should realize before they start is that the screening tests are far from 27 . A bad result doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.
Audiologists estimate that 3 out of every 1,000 babies are born with some kind of hearing loss. Of those three infants, one is profoundly deaf. About half the time, doctors can identify a possible cause, such as a birth weight less than 5 pounds, or a family history of 28 . The rest of the time there is simply no 29 as to why a newborn’s hearing may have been affected.
The screening tests work by introducing a sound into a baby’s ear and then measuring either the 30 of the ear’s internal mechanisms or the electrical activity of the auditory portion of the brain (the auditory brain-stem response test). Just because a baby fails either test, 31 , does not mean that there is a hearing problem. A temporary buildup of fluid in the ear canal or excessive noise in the nursery can 32 the results. For this reason, experts say, hospitals should 33 the screening tests for any baby who doesn’t pass the first time before telling the parents to consult an audiologist for more thorough testing.
It is at this stage that things get a bit 34 . Though 20 of every 1,000 babies fail the two-step screen, most prove on further examination to be just fine. Is it worth 35 17 families of perfectly normal children - not to mention asking them to spend several hundred dollars on advanced tests — to identify three infants with hearing loss

A
PAUL HEMINGTON, 57, is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge（切达峡谷） and Caves cheddargorge.co.uk
I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves.
Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing.
The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK.
Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.
My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience!
36．PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________.
A．settle down in the countryside B．be closer to his daughter
C．land a job as a tour guide D．take part in a competitive race

A．He goes to the school to give lectures on pre-history.
B．He demonstrates to young people how to climb rocks.
C．He participates in recreating the scenes in the Mesolithic period.
D．He decorates the museum garden to make it look like the gorge.

B
With short story writer and novelist Della Galton
Q What’s the best way to keep track of your characters in a novel Amanda Rose, via emailA I’m not sure what the best way is, but here are some of the methods I use. Most of my records are on paper. I have a huge folder, and in it are the following: * Character sheets – one A4 sheet for each character with all their details: name; age; address; physical description; personality type… * Dialogue records – an extra page where I note their favorite words and dialogues. * Photographs – I use photos cut from magazines for inspirations as to what they look like. I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and age of my characters at any given time in the novel – or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically. I also use a spreadsheet for keeping track of the plot so I know what happens to each character in each chapter. I create the spreadsheet before I start and fill it in as I go. It’s for tracking not plotting, but it could be used for that if you plotted what happens in each chapter. Hope this helps, Amanda. Q Should I use single quotes or double quotes for dialogue Tania Yeatman, WimborneA It doesn’t matter! Usually it’s a matter of house style, so if you are aiming at a specific publication, check to see what their style is for publication and copy that. If you don’t know the house style then the important thing is to be consistent. The same applies to quotes from interviewees and experts in your articles. “I saw Anne at writing group,” Milly said. “And she came rushing up to me and told me she’d done it at last. She’s got an agent!” Sometimes there may be a quote within a quote. It can be single quotes within double quotes or the other way around. But don’t mix the two styles within the story to avoid confusion. Q ______________________________ Grace Louise
40．________ are most useful for controlling timelines of the story.
A．Character sheets B．Dialogue records
C．Photographs D．Spreadsheets

C
At first the question was how quickly people would get back to the office. Then it was whether they would ever return. The last three years has introduced in a major change in white-collar working patterns. The office is not dead but many professionals have settled into a hybrid (混合的) arrangement of some office days and some remote days.
Hybrid working has much to recommend: flexibility for employees, periods of concentration at home, bursts of cooperation in the office. A new paper from Harvard Business School describes an experiment in which workers at BRAC, a non-profit organisation in Britain, were randomly assigned to three groups, each spending different amounts of time working from home. The intermediate (中等的) group, who spent between 23% and 40% of their time in the office, performed best on various performance measures.
But a shift on this large scale is bound to raise tricky issues. In workplaces that have moved to hybrid work, there are still plenty of open questions. One is how to handle the impact of less time in the office for new joiners and younger workers. Research by Emma Harrington of the University of Iowa shows that software engineers receive more feedback on their code when the team sits next to each other in the office, especially new engineers. According to Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University, making new employees spend more time in the office can be a good way of integrating them into company culture and improving their competence. And these younger employees were most likely to quit when everyone was forced to go remote.
A second question concerns how strictly to enforce attendance on days when teams are meant to be in the office. An agreement holds that there should be agreed “anchor days” on which all the people come to work in the office; since the idea is to spend time together, as many people as possible should be there. But one person on the team might have moved somewhere else; someone else might have asked to stay home to let the repairer in. In practice, therefore, hybrid working still often means a mixture of people on screen and people in the office.
Other questions exist. How to define performance measures so managers do not spend time worrying about lazy workers at home Do you require company-wide anchor days or team-level ones The era of hybrid working is only just beginning, so it will take time for answers to emerge. But if there is a message from this first full year of hybrid working, it is that flexibility does not mean a free-for-all.
43．How can in-office work help new employees
A．Giving them more feedback from senior employees.
B．Getting them to catch up with the work schedule.
C．Saving them the cost of staying at home.
D．Helping them feel part of the company.
44．What makes it difficult to enforce attendance on anchor days
A．Young workers prefer working on screen.
B．Engineers object to the idea of anchor days.
C．Office workers can’t take a day off as expected.
D．Employees have various private matters to address.
45．Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with
A．It is necessary to grant employees full autonomous rights.
B．Employers should go with the flow because new questions will emerge.
C．Allowing flexibility in work arrangements does not mean having no rules.
D．It is no easy job to arrange either company-wide or team-level anchor days.
46．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Hybrid working is outdated after workers’ return.
B．There are some open questions of hybrid working.
C．A shift of working patterns calls for hybrid working.
D．Fixed restrictions should be applied to hybrid working.

Why Are You Still Coughing
Have you caught a cold recently — but can’t get rid of the cough You’re not alone. The symptom can stick around for weeks after our bodies have cleared a virus. Michael Shiloh, a physician specializing in infectious disease research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, says coughing patients often report that they were sick as many as eight weeks prior to seeing him. He says, “ 47 ”
The United States saw a sharp rise in cases of influenza in late 2023 that’s dragged on into 2024. And though positive tests for the illness have leveled off or decreased countrywide over the past weeks, the number of people seeking healthcare for respiratory (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated across much of the U.S. 48 But research on how infections affect nerves in the airway is revealing new clues.
Coughing is an important reaction that protects the airway from dangers like water or bits of mis-swallowed food, says doctor and researcher Lorcan McGarvey of Queen’s University Belfast. 49 These nerves are decorated with receptor (受体) proteins that react to everything from cold air to hot pepper. When a stimulus causes those receptors, nerves send signals to the brain that we experience as the urge to cough.
While it may seem obvious that coughing is meant to clear our throats, it’s also possible that viruses cause the reaction to help themselves spread. 50 And if we do ultimately cough to clear out our airway during an infection, that still wouldn’t explain what exactly our nerves sense during an infection that causes a cough.
“We don’t know,” says electrophysiologist Thomas Taylor-Clark of the University of South Florida. “But what we can say is that we do know some things, one being that viruses cause infection.”
A．The reaction is caused by nerves that reach into the airway.
B．Scientists know about many different stimuli that can cause cough.
C．Many infections involve dry coughs that don’t produce phlegm (痰) at all.
D．We can’t really detect virus any more in these individuals, and yet they’re still coughing.
E．But at least temporarily, they can send us into coughing even when we’re no longer sick.
F．Scientists still aren’t sure exactly why otherwise healthy people experience this kind of persistent cough.
Summary Writing (10分)
51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Complaining: The Happiness Killer
In 15th-century Germany, there was an expression: Greiner, Zanner, which can be translated as “a chronic (长期的) complainer.” Are you a bit of a Greiner, Zanner If so, you’re not alone. Survey data show that customers today are more than twice as likely to complain about a product or service as they were in 1976. A U. K.-based survey also observed a rise in job dissatisfaction over a two-year period before autumn 2022.
Complaints can be grouped into different categories. As is reported, 45 percent of complaints concern the behavior of others. For instance, parents repeatedly criticize their children for small issues like messy bedrooms or dirty clothes. Another 29 percent focus on personal discomfort. A common complaint in this category might be about feeling too hot in a room without air conditioner. The remaining 26 percent involve unpleasant obligations like unnecessary work meetings people are forced to attend.
The problem with all of these complaints is that it can feel helpful — but it typically isn’t . Although complaining might offer temporary relief, it’s bad for your happiness in the long run. Researchers who measured people’s mood before and after they complained found that those complainers’ mood was significantly worsening. Besides, complaining can also lower the happiness of the people around you. In some relationships, the negative effect can pass like a virus to those exposed. In other words, when people see others’ complaints expressing anger, disgust and sadness, they can, in turn, feel similar emotions.
As the 20th-century Bulgarian philosopher Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev observed, “Complaining is like the winter frost which, when it falls, destroys all the labors of the gardeners.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Paul Hemington是Cheddar Gorge和Caves的助理运营经理，他对这个地方充满热情。他介绍了切达峡谷的自然美景、地质特征、野生动植物以及与当地历史相关的活动。
36．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. (我搬到SOMERSET主要是为了我的家人。我女儿要结婚了，我不想住在六小时车程以外的地方，所以我们搬了家。)”可知，PAUL HEMINGTON搬到Somerset主要是为了和家人团聚，因为他的女儿要结婚，他不想离得太远，所以他们做出了这个决定。故选B。
37．词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的内容“You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it.(你成为它的一部分，它也成为你的一部分。我对此充满激情。)”可知， PAUL HEMINGTON认为Cheddar Gorge以正确的方式渗透到自己的内心。自己成为它的一部分，它成为自己的一部分。因此推断Cheddar Gorge对他产生了深深的影响。故选A。
38．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.( 我们带人们参观洞穴，我们有史前历史，这是我们和博物馆一起做的，我们让学校来和他们一起做示范。我们会打扮得尽可能真实再现Cheddar Man的时代，也就是一万年前的中石器时代。例如，我们做点火，希望这能激励年轻人！在博物馆的花园里，把峡谷的一部分作为背景，这真的很酷，你可以真正沉浸在那一刻。)”可知，Paul描述了他们在博物馆花园中重现中石器时代的活动，并且穿着相应的服装进行火种点燃等展示，以期激发年轻人的兴趣即他参与重建中石器时代的场景。故选C。
39．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. (Cheddar Gorge在英国是独一无二的。这是一种独特的现象，因为尽管这个国家还有其他洞穴，但你在其他地方没有峡谷。)”以及第四段中“The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. (The Cheddar Gorge的精神是很强劲的)以及第五段中“Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. (在Cheddar Gorge和洞穴的每一天都不一样。)”以及第六段中“My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. (我最喜欢的地方是当你走过山顶时，你可以回头看到峡谷或对面的水库。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都围绕PAUL HEMINGTON对Cheddar Gorge的热情和对其自然美丽、野生动物、地质学和史前历史等方面的认识和喜爱进行了描述。因此，他谈论的主题是Cheddar Gorge对他来说有什么特别之处。故选D。
40．D 41．A 42．C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了如何有效地追踪小说中的角色，作者分享了她使用的一些方法。
40．细节理解题。根据表格第一列中倒数第二段的“I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and age of my characters at any given time in the novel – or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically.(我也是电子表格的忠实粉丝。我创建了一个包含我在小说中任何给定时间的角色的名字、出生日期和年龄的表——如果是一个系列小说的话。这对于控制时间线特别有帮助，因为我只需要更改一个日期，其余的都设置为自动更新。)”可知，电子表格对于控制故事的时间线最有用。故选D。
41．细节理解题。根据表格第二列的最后一段“Sometimes there may be a quote within a quote. It can be single quotes within double quotes or the other way around. But don’t mix the two styles within the story to avoid confusion.(有时候，在一个引语中可能会有一个引语。它可以是双引号中的单引号，也可以是双引号中的单引号。但不要在故事中混合这两种风格，以免混淆。) ”可知，单引号可以在双引号内部，或双引号在单引号内部。这种结构有助于区分对话的整体和具体言论，并且使得整个对话更易于理解和阅读。在所给内容中，对话是由一个角色Milly说出的，则A现符合要求，外层的单引号用于标记一个对话的开始和结束，而内层的双引号则用于标记对话中的实际言论。故选A。
42．推理判断题。根据第段的“Should I use single quotes or double quotes for dialogue (对话应该用单引号还是双引号？)”可知，梦想成为小说家的格蕾丝·路易斯还是新手，因此最可能问这个问题：对于克服写作障碍，你有什么建议吗？故选C。
43．D 44．D 45．C 46．B
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了混合工作还有未解决的问题。
43．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“According to Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University, making new employees spend more time in the office can be a good way of integrating them into company culture and improving their competence.(斯坦福大学的Nicholas Bloom认为，让新员工花更多的时间在办公室是让他们能够融入公司文化、提高竞争力的好方法。)”可知，办公室工作能帮助新的员工觉得自己是公司的一部分，故选D。
44．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“An agreement holds that there should be agreed “anchor days” on which all the people come to work in the office; since the idea is to spend time together, as many people as possible should be there. But one person on the team might have moved somewhere else; someone else might have asked to stay home to let the repairer in.(一项协议认为，应该有一个商定的“锚定日”；既然想法是大家花时间在一起，尽可能多的人都在这一天来办公室工作。但是团队中的一个人可能已经搬到其他地方了；其他人可能会要求待在家里让修理工进来。)”可知，员工可能有各种私人事务要处理，这使得在锚定日很难强制出勤，故选D。
45．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The era of hybrid working is only just beginning, so it will take time for answers to emerge. But if there is a message from this first full year of hybrid working, it is that flexibility does not mean a free-for-all.(混合工作的时代才刚刚开始，所以答案的出现还需要时间。但是，如果有一个完整的混合工作年信息的话，那就是灵活性并不意味着自由竞争。)”可知，作者最有可能同意允许工作安排的灵活性并不意味着没有规则，故选C。
46．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“But a shift on this large scale is bound to raise tricky issues. In workplaces that have moved to hybrid work, there are still plenty of open questions.(但是如此大规模的转变必然会引发棘手的问题。在已经转向混合工作制的工作场所，仍然有许多未解的问题。)”以及后文对这些问题的具体介绍，可知，本文主要讲述了混合工作还有一些未解决的问题，故答案为B。
47．D 48．F 49．A 50．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章解释了我们为什么会一直咳嗽。
47．根据前文“The symptom can stick around for weeks after our bodies have cleared a virus. Michael Shiloh, a physician specializing in infectious disease research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, says coughing patients often report that they were sick as many as eight weeks prior to seeing him.(在我们的身体清除病毒后，这种症状可能会持续数周。西南医学院中心专门从事传染病研究的医生Michael Shiloh说道，咳嗽病人通常他们在就诊前八周报告自己生病了)”可知，前文提到我们的身体在清除病毒后，仍然会咳嗽数周。故D项“但我们无法从这些人身上真正检测到病毒，但他们仍然在咳嗽。”是前文的顺义承接，前文提到了我们的身体在清除病毒后，仍然会咳嗽数周，故那些咳嗽病人报告自己前几周就生病了，但却无法在他们身上检测到病毒，而他们却仍然在咳嗽，故选D项。
48．根据空前“The United States saw a sharp rise in cases of influenza in late 2023 that’s dragged on into 2024. And though positive tests for the illness have leveled off or decreased countrywide over the past weeks, the number of people seeking healthcare for respiratory (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated across much of the U.S.(美国的流感病例在2023年末急剧上升，一直拖到2024年。尽管在过去的几周里，全国范围内的阳性检测呈平稳或下降的趋势，但寻求呼吸系统医疗保健的人数在美国大部分地区仍在上升)”和空后“But research on how infections affect nerves in the airway is revealing new clues.(但关于感染如何影响气道神经的研究解释了新的线索)”可知，空前提到呼吸系统出现问题的人数却在不断上升，空后提出关于气道神经的研究提出了新的线索，故F项“科学家们仍然不确定为什么健康人会出现这种持续咳嗽。”符合，F项中的this kind of persistent cough指的是前文中“the number of people seeking healthcare for respiratory (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated across much of the U.S.”，本空提出科学家的疑问，空后表明有了新的线索，故选F项。
49．根据空前“Coughing is an important reaction that protects the airway from dangers like water or bits of mis-swallowed food, says doctor and researcher Lorcan McGarvey of Queen’s University Belfast.(贝尔法斯特女王大学的医生兼研究员Lorcan McGarvey说道，咳嗽是一种重要的反应，可以保护气道免受水或误食等的危险。)”以及空后“These nerves are decorated with receptor (受体) proteins that react to everything from cold air to hot pepper.(这些神经被受体蛋白质保护着，对从冷空气到辣椒的一切都有反应)”可知，空前提到咳嗽是保护气道的一种反应，空后则解释这些神经是被受体蛋白保护着，故A项“这种感应是由进入气道的神经引起的”符合，承上启下，A项中的The action指代空前的an important reaction，空后的These nerves指代A项中nerves，故选A项。
50．根据空前“While it may seem obvious that coughing is meant to clear our throats, it’s also possible that viruses cause the reaction to help themselves spread.(尽管咳嗽明显是为了清嗓子，但病毒也有可能引起这种感应以帮助自己传播)”以及空后“And if we do ultimately cough to clear out our airway during an infection, that still wouldn’t explain what exactly our nerves sense during an infection that causes a cough.(并且如果我们在感染期间以咳嗽来清理嗓子，这仍然无法解释我们的神经在导致咳嗽的感染期间到底能感觉到什么)”可知，空前提到我们在清理嗓子的时候病毒会借此机会来得以传播，空后则提出了我们在感染期间以咳嗽清理嗓子，这无法解释我们的神经能感受到什么来然我们咳嗽，故C项“许多感染都是干咳而不生痰。”符合，与空后构成递进关系，许多感染是干咳而没有痰，那也就无法解释我们的神经感受到了什么，从而让我们在感染期间咳嗽，故选C项。
51．Complaining is increasingly common in our life. It falls into different categories, including complaints about others’ behaviors, one’s discomfort, and undesirable obligations. Actually, complaining isn’t really helpful because it is harmful to long-term happiness despite its temporary relief. Furthermore, the emotions of those around you will be negatively influenced due to its infectious nature.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，抱怨在我们的生活中越来越普遍。它分为不同的类别，包括抱怨他人的行为，自己的不适，以及不受欢迎的义务。事实上，抱怨并没有真正的帮助，因为它对长期的幸福有害，尽管它能暂时缓解痛苦。此外，由于它的传染性，你周围的人的情绪也会受到负面影响。
【详解】1.要点摘录
①Survey data show that customers today are more than twice as likely to complain about a product or service as they were in 1976. A U. K.-based survey also observed a rise in job dissatisfaction over a two-year period before autumn 2022.
②Complaints can be grouped into different categories. As is reported, 45 percent of complaints concern the behavior of others. For instance, parents repeatedly criticize their children for small issues like messy bedrooms or dirty clothes. Another 29 percent focus on personal discomfort. A common complaint in this category might be about feeling too hot in a room without air conditioner. The remaining 26 percent involve unpleasant obligations like unnecessary work meetings people are forced to attend.
③Researchers who measured people’s mood before and after they complained found that those complainers’ mood was significantly worsening.
④Besides, complaining can also lower the happiness of the people around you. In some relationships, the negative effect can pass like a virus to those exposed. In other words, when people see others’ complaints expressing anger, disgust and sadness, they can, in turn, feel similar emotions.
2.缜密构思 将第1个要点进行总说，将第2、3、4三个要点进行分说。
3.遣词造句
Complaining is increasingly common in our life.
It falls into different categories, including complaints about others’ behaviors, one’s discomfort, and undesirable obligations.
Actually, complaining isn’t really helpful because it is harmful to long-term happiness despite its temporary relief.
Furthermore, the emotions of those around you will be negatively influenced due to its infectious nature.
【点睛】[高分句型1] Actually, complaining isn’t really helpful because it is harmful to long-term happiness despite its temporary relief.运用because引导原因状语从句对原文第三段进行了概括。
[高分句型2] Furthermore, the emotions of those around you will be negatively influenced due to its infectious nature.运用了省略关系词的定语从句对第三段进行了概括，表达非常高级。
52．It is because we have once been caught in the rain that we hold umbrellas for others.
【详解】考查动词以及强调句。分析句子可知，“因为我们曾经淋过雨” 是原因状语从句，使用because引导从句，“淋过雨”应使用动词短语be caught in the rain，根据句意可知，原因状语从句应使用现在完成时，因此，从句可以翻译成because we have once been caught in the rain。“撑伞”的英语是hold umbrellas，句子陈述现在状态，时态使用一般现在时，因此本句可以翻译成We hold umbrellas for others because we have once been caught in the rain。根据题目要求使用“It …”句型，可以把句子写成强调句结构，强调的是原因状语从句“因为我们曾经淋过雨”，故翻译为It is because we have once been caught in the rain that we hold umbrellas for others.
53．Artificial intelligence is enabling us to witness an ever-evolving/a constantly-changing new era/ a new era which/that changes with each passing day/a new era which/that changes quickly/rapidly.
【详解】考查固定短语、非谓语动词、名词、定语从句、时态。表示“人工智能”用artificial intelligence，作主语，位于句首，首字母大写。表示“使某人做某事”用enable us to do sth.，结合语境可知事情正在发生，故时态用现在进行时，且主语为第三人称单数，故be动词用is。表示“我们”用us，作宾语。表示“见证”用witness，用不定式，作us的补足语。表示“日新月异的”用ever-evolving/constantly-changing，作定语，修饰“时代”。此处泛指“一个日新月异的新时代”，且ever-evolving以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an；constantly-changing以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。表示“新时代”用new era，作witness的宾语。或者表示“新月异的”用定语从句，先行词是a new era，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that/wich引导，表示“变化”用change，从句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，故谓语用第三人称单数形式changes；表示“快速地”用副词quickly/rapidly，作状语，修饰changes；或者“日益，一天天”用with each passing day。故翻译为Artificial intelligence is enabling us to witness an ever-evolving/a constantly-changing new era/ a new era which/that changes with each passing day/a new era which/that changes quickly/rapidly.
54．As young individuals, we possess immense creativity, allowing us to imagine boldly and explore fearlessly. /As young individuals, we are very creative, full of imagination and brave/courageous to explore.
【详解】考查时态、介词短语、非谓语动词。表示“作为年轻人”含义的表达为：as young individuals；表示“具有极强的创造力”可以用动词短语possess immense creativity或be very creative，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时；表示“可以大胆设想、勇敢探索”含义的表达为：allow us to imagine boldly and explore fearlessly，因该表达在句子中作状语，使用非谓语动词，又因与逻辑主语we之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，该表达还可以使用形容词短语，翻译为：full of imagination and brave或courageous to explore，故翻译为：As young individuals, we possess immense creativity, allowing us to imagine boldly and explore fearlessly. /As young individuals, we are very creative, full of imagination and brave/courageous to explore.
55．Combining the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with everyday wearability, “New Chinese-style” clothing is currently being embraced by the younger generation./The “New Chinese-style” clothing combines the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with daily wear, and is being embraced by the younger generation.
【详解】考查短语、非谓语动词、动词时态和语态。根据中文提示可知，本句主语为“‘新中式’服装”译为(the)“New Chinese-style” clothing，表示“既能体现中华优秀传统文化魅力，也能融入日常穿搭”可以用非谓语动词表达，逻辑主语clothing与combine……with…“结合……”构成逻辑上的主动关系，用现在分词，表示“中华优秀传统文化魅力”用the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture，表示“日常穿搭”用everyday wearability，currently“目前”作状语，表示“受年轻一代追捧”用现在进行时的被动语态is being embraced by the young generation。也可以用并列句表达，“既能体现中华优秀传统文化魅力，也能融入日常穿搭”用一般现在时句子，主语为单数，谓语动词combine用第三人称单数，译为：combines the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with daily wear，将“‘正受到年轻一代追捧’”与其用and并列。故翻译为Combining the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with everyday wearability, “New Chinese-style” clothing is currently being embraced by the younger generation./The “New Chinese-style” clothing combines the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with daily wear, and is being embraced by the younger generation.
56．Sample 1
If I were a student in this class, I would choose topic one: “Prime years do not return; a day’s morning is hard to come by again.”
I am drawn to this topic because it speaks to the essence of seizing the moment and cherishing the present. It prompts reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of making the most of our youth and opportunities.
My approach to this topic would be to draw from personal experiences and observations to illustrate the significance of embracing each day and living with purpose. I would share anecdotes of moments where I felt the weight of time passing, inspiring me to take action and pursue my passions.
I would explore themes of ambition, resilience, and gratitude, emphasizing the value of perseverance in the face of challenges and the importance of cultivating meaningful relationships.
Ultimately, I would aim to convey a message of empowerment and motivation, encouraging others to embrace the present moment, seize opportunities, and live with intention. By recognizing the fleeting nature of time and the preciousness of each day, we can strive to make a positive impact and create lasting memories.Sample 2
If I were a student in this class, I would choose topic two: addressing the unbalanced knowledge structures caused by the current emphasis on entrance exams. My choice stems from the relevance and importance of this issue in the educational landscape today.
My approach to this topic would involve first acknowledging the root causes of the problem, such as excessive focus on exam-oriented learning and neglect of holistic education. Then, I would propose practical solutions like curriculum reforms to encourage interdisciplinary learning, promoting critical thinking skills over rote memorization, and incorporating project-based assessments to gauge a student’s true understanding.
I believe this topic offers a chance to explore innovative educational strategies that can lead to more well-rounded and adaptable learners, better equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world. By addressing the issue of unbalanced knowledge structures, we can foster a learning environment that values both academic achievement and personal growth.Sample 3
If I were a student in this class, I would choose topic three: continuing the story of “When the last earthling sat in the room, there came a knock on the door...”
I am drawn to this topic because of its open-ended nature, which allows for creativity and imagination to take flight. It presents an opportunity to explore themes of loneliness, curiosity, and the unknown, offering a canvas for storytelling that can captivate both the writer and the reader.
My approach to this topic would involve delving into the emotions and thoughts of the last earthling as they hear the knock on the door. I would consider various possibilities for who or what could be on the other side of the door – perhaps it’s another survivor, an alien visitor, or even a symbolic representation of hope or redemption.
I would aim to create a narrative that builds suspense and intrigue, keeping the reader engaged as they eagerly await the revelation behind the mysterious knock. Through descriptive language and vivid imagery, I would seek to evoke a sense of wonder and anticipation, leaving the reader with a lingering sense of curiosity and a desire for more.

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time, he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page-turner. “ 1 not being a trained musician, I’ve learned to read music to assist Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but 2 (act) as the group’s official page-turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score. In this way, the musicians don’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it 3 . He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
Being a page-turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music 4 go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 pages of turns, including back turns for repeat passages. 5 matters is onstage communication. Each pianist has their own style of “nodding” 6 ( indicate) a page turn that they need to practise with their page-turner.
But like all performances, there are moments 7 things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily, I was able to catch them and put them back.”
8 most page-turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“Sometimes my husband is not an attentive page-turner. He’s interested in the music, 9 (feel) every note, but I have to say: ‘Turn, turn!’ ” she laughed. “But Robert is 10 (qualified) page-turner I’ve had in my entire life.”

Unfamiliar Music May Help People Chat at Parties
If you want your guests to be particularly sociable at an upcoming party, make sure you play music they probably haven’t heard before.
To explore how background music affects the way we 11 conversations, researchers Jane Brown and Gavin Bidelman conducted a study analyzing the brain activity of 31 individuals aged21 and 33. During the experiment, participants listened to 72 minutes of an audiobook (有声读物), which the pair used as a replacement for 12 on someone talking, while background music was accompanied by the audiobook for most of the time.
For half of the experiment, the participants were asked to focus on2-minute parts of an unfamiliar audiobook read by a man. The rest of the time, they were told to focus on four background songs, which were similarly 13 for2 minutes at a time. This 14 in voices aimed to assess participants’ ability to shift attention between two distinctly different voices.
During the experiment, all the participants wore 15 caps to monitor the electrical activity taking place in their brains. This 16 of electrical activity was the key. It allowed Brown and Bidelman to discover how efficiently these individuals could focus on either the audiobook or the music when 17 to do so. The finding revealed that the participants could 18 turn their attention to the audiobook if the background music was unfamiliar to them.
Following the task, the participants completed a music perception survey evaluating their musical skills, such as the capacity to 19 whether a pair of similar-sounding tunes are the same. Notably, those with lower musical scores demonstrated slower attentional shifts between songs and audiobooks, suggesting a(n) 20 link between musical ability and attention management skills.

Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Anyone who has ever witnessed the miracle in which infants progress from mewling to “Mama” to “Mine!” knows how critical it is for youngsters to hear normally before they speak their first words. 21 , many children who don’t talk by age two turn out to be deaf. The sooner their disability is discovered and 22 , the less likely they are to fall behind in the development of important language and social skills. That is why a growing number of hearing specialists (audiologists) and parents are campaigning for 23 screening of newborns for hearing loss.
Their 24 has registered in some powerful ears. To date, 22 states have passed legislation requiring at least partial screening programs. Part of the push stems from 25 in technology that, among other things, allow children as young as two months to be 26 hearing aids. But there are limits to the technology. One thing parents should realize before they start is that the screening tests are far from 27 . A bad result doesn’t necessarily indicate a problem.
Audiologists estimate that 3 out of every 1,000 babies are born with some kind of hearing loss. Of those three infants, one is profoundly deaf. About half the time, doctors can identify a possible cause, such as a birth weight less than 5 pounds, or a family history of 28 . The rest of the time there is simply no 29 as to why a newborn’s hearing may have been affected.
The screening tests work by introducing a sound into a baby’s ear and then measuring either the 30 of the ear’s internal mechanisms or the electrical activity of the auditory portion of the brain (the auditory brain-stem response test). Just because a baby fails either test, 31 , does not mean that there is a hearing problem. A temporary buildup of fluid in the ear canal or excessive noise in the nursery can 32 the results. For this reason, experts say, hospitals should 33 the screening tests for any baby who doesn’t pass the first time before telling the parents to consult an audiologist for more thorough testing.
It is at this stage that things get a bit 34 . Though 20 of every 1,000 babies fail the two-step screen, most prove on further examination to be just fine. Is it worth 35 17 families of perfectly normal children - not to mention asking them to spend several hundred dollars on advanced tests — to identify three infants with hearing loss

A
PAUL HEMINGTON, 57, is the Assistant Operations Manager at Cheddar Gorge（切达峡谷） and Caves cheddargorge.co.uk
I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. Once we moved, we were made unneeded and it was a mad race to get work. I ended up at here at Cheddar Gorge and Caves.
Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. This is a major geological feature, it’s three miles long and there’s just this natural, raw beauty. I can sit at my desk in guest services and look out at part of the gorge. It’s amazing.
The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. You know, not having worked here or heard about the area, you come here and it gets under your skin in the right way. You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it. And there’s the amazing wildlife, the geology, the prehistory — Cheddar Man is still one of the greatest finds in the UK.
Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. You’ve got the rock sports side of things, the climbing, the caving. We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.
My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. The view is amazing. Yes, you can see pictures of it, but honestly you have to be there to fully appreciate it. You might hear some buzzards or see some sheep or goats while you’re up there, just to enhance the experience!
36．PAUL HEMINGTON originally moved to Cheddar Gorge to __________.

With short story writer and novelist Della Galton
Q What’s the best way to keep track of your characters in a novel Amanda Rose, via emailA I’m not sure what the best way is, but here are some of the methods I use. Most of my records are on paper. I have a huge folder, and in it are the following: * Character sheets – one A4 sheet for each character with all their details: name; age; address; physical description; personality type… * Dialogue records – an extra page where I note their favorite words and dialogues. * Photographs – I use photos cut from magazines for inspirations as to what they look like. I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and age of my characters at any given time in the novel – or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically. I also use a spreadsheet for keeping track of the plot so I know what happens to each character in each chapter. I create the spreadsheet before I start and fill it in as I go. It’s for tracking not plotting, but it could be used for that if you plotted what happens in each chapter. Hope this helps, Amanda. Q Should I use single quotes or double quotes for dialogue Tania Yeatman, WimborneA It doesn’t matter! Usually it’s a matter of house style, so if you are aiming at a specific publication, check to see what their style is for publication and copy that. If you don’t know the house style then the important thing is to be consistent. The same applies to quotes from interviewees and experts in your articles. “I saw Anne at writing group,” Milly said. “And she came rushing up to me and told me she’d done it at last. She’s got an agent!” Sometimes there may be a quote within a quote. It can be single quotes within double quotes or the other way around. But don’t mix the two styles within the story to avoid confusion. Q ______________________________ Grace Louise

C
At first the question was how quickly people would get back to the office. Then it was whether they would ever return. The last three years has introduced in a major change in white-collar working patterns. The office is not dead but many professionals have settled into a hybrid (混合的) arrangement of some office days and some remote days.
Hybrid working has much to recommend: flexibility for employees, periods of concentration at home, bursts of cooperation in the office. A new paper from Harvard Business School describes an experiment in which workers at BRAC, a non-profit organisation in Britain, were randomly assigned to three groups, each spending different amounts of time working from home. The intermediate (中等的) group, who spent between 23% and 40% of their time in the office, performed best on various performance measures.
But a shift on this large scale is bound to raise tricky issues. In workplaces that have moved to hybrid work, there are still plenty of open questions. One is how to handle the impact of less time in the office for new joiners and younger workers. Research by Emma Harrington of the University of Iowa shows that software engineers receive more feedback on their code when the team sits next to each other in the office, especially new engineers. According to Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University, making new employees spend more time in the office can be a good way of integrating them into company culture and improving their competence. And these younger employees were most likely to quit when everyone was forced to go remote.
A second question concerns how strictly to enforce attendance on days when teams are meant to be in the office. An agreement holds that there should be agreed “anchor days” on which all the people come to work in the office; since the idea is to spend time together, as many people as possible should be there. But one person on the team might have moved somewhere else; someone else might have asked to stay home to let the repairer in. In practice, therefore, hybrid working still often means a mixture of people on screen and people in the office.
Other questions exist. How to define performance measures so managers do not spend time worrying about lazy workers at home Do you require company-wide anchor days or team-level ones The era of hybrid working is only just beginning, so it will take time for answers to emerge. But if there is a message from this first full year of hybrid working, it is that flexibility does not mean a free-for-all.
43．How can in-office work help new employees
A．Giving them more feedback from senior employees.
B．Getting them to catch up with the work schedule.
C．Saving them the cost of staying at home.
D．Helping them feel part of the company.
44．What makes it difficult to enforce attendance on anchor days
A．Young workers prefer working on screen.
B．Engineers object to the idea of anchor days.
C．Office workers can’t take a day off as expected.
D．Employees have various private matters to address.
45．Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with
A．It is necessary to grant employees full autonomous rights.
B．Employers should go with the flow because new questions will emerge.
C．Allowing flexibility in work arrangements does not mean having no rules.
D．It is no easy job to arrange either company-wide or team-level anchor days.
46．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Hybrid working is outdated after workers’ return.
B．There are some open questions of hybrid working.
C．A shift of working patterns calls for hybrid working.
D．Fixed restrictions should be applied to hybrid working.

Why Are You Still Coughing
Have you caught a cold recently — but can’t get rid of the cough You’re not alone. The symptom can stick around for weeks after our bodies have cleared a virus. Michael Shiloh, a physician specializing in infectious disease research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, says coughing patients often report that they were sick as many as eight weeks prior to seeing him. He says, “ 47 ”
The United States saw a sharp rise in cases of influenza in late 2023 that’s dragged on into 2024. And though positive tests for the illness have leveled off or decreased countrywide over the past weeks, the number of people seeking healthcare for respiratory (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated across much of the U.S. 48 But research on how infections affect nerves in the airway is revealing new clues.
Coughing is an important reaction that protects the airway from dangers like water or bits of mis-swallowed food, says doctor and researcher Lorcan McGarvey of Queen’s University Belfast. 49 These nerves are decorated with receptor (受体) proteins that react to everything from cold air to hot pepper. When a stimulus causes those receptors, nerves send signals to the brain that we experience as the urge to cough.
While it may seem obvious that coughing is meant to clear our throats, it’s also possible that viruses cause the reaction to help themselves spread. 50 And if we do ultimately cough to clear out our airway during an infection, that still wouldn’t explain what exactly our nerves sense during an infection that causes a cough.
“We don’t know,” says electrophysiologist Thomas Taylor-Clark of the University of South Florida. “But what we can say is that we do know some things, one being that viruses cause infection.”
A．The reaction is caused by nerves that reach into the airway.
B．Scientists know about many different stimuli that can cause cough.
C．Many infections involve dry coughs that don’t produce phlegm (痰) at all.
D．We can’t really detect virus any more in these individuals, and yet they’re still coughing.
E．But at least temporarily, they can send us into coughing even when we’re no longer sick.
F．Scientists still aren’t sure exactly why otherwise healthy people experience this kind of persistent cough.
Summary Writing (10分)
51．Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Complaining: The Happiness Killer
In 15th-century Germany, there was an expression: Greiner, Zanner, which can be translated as “a chronic (长期的) complainer.” Are you a bit of a Greiner, Zanner If so, you’re not alone. Survey data show that customers today are more than twice as likely to complain about a product or service as they were in 1976. A U. K.-based survey also observed a rise in job dissatisfaction over a two-year period before autumn 2022.
Complaints can be grouped into different categories. As is reported, 45 percent of complaints concern the behavior of others. For instance, parents repeatedly criticize their children for small issues like messy bedrooms or dirty clothes. Another 29 percent focus on personal discomfort. A common complaint in this category might be about feeling too hot in a room without air conditioner. The remaining 26 percent involve unpleasant obligations like unnecessary work meetings people are forced to attend.
The problem with all of these complaints is that it can feel helpful — but it typically isn’t . Although complaining might offer temporary relief, it’s bad for your happiness in the long run. Researchers who measured people’s mood before and after they complained found that those complainers’ mood was significantly worsening. Besides, complaining can also lower the happiness of the people around you. In some relationships, the negative effect can pass like a virus to those exposed. In other words, when people see others’ complaints expressing anger, disgust and sadness, they can, in turn, feel similar emotions.
As the 20th-century Bulgarian philosopher Archimandrite Seraphim Aleksiev observed, “Complaining is like the winter frost which, when it falls, destroys all the labors of the gardeners.”

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Paul Hemington是Cheddar Gorge和Caves的助理运营经理，他对这个地方充满热情。他介绍了切达峡谷的自然美景、地质特征、野生动植物以及与当地历史相关的活动。
36．细节理解题。根据第一段中“I moved to SOMERSET mainly for my family. My daughter was getting married and I didn’t want to live six hours away, so we made the move. (我搬到SOMERSET主要是为了我的家人。我女儿要结婚了，我不想住在六小时车程以外的地方，所以我们搬了家。)”可知，PAUL HEMINGTON搬到Somerset主要是为了和家人团聚，因为他的女儿要结婚，他不想离得太远，所以他们做出了这个决定。故选B。
37．词句猜测题。根据划线短语后面的内容“You become part of it, it becomes part of you. I’m very passionate about it.(你成为它的一部分，它也成为你的一部分。我对此充满激情。)”可知， PAUL HEMINGTON认为Cheddar Gorge以正确的方式渗透到自己的内心。自己成为它的一部分，它成为自己的一部分。因此推断Cheddar Gorge对他产生了深深的影响。故选A。
38．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“We take people through the caves on tours and we have pre-history, which we do with the museum, whereby we have schools come in and do demonstrations with them. We will dress up as genuinely as we can to reproduce the time period of the Cheddar Man, which is the Mesolithic period, so 10,000 years ago. We do fire lighting, for example, and hopefully it’s inspiring to the young people! It’s really cool to be in the museum garden and have part of the gorge as the background while you’re doing it, so you can really submerge yourself in that moment.( 我们带人们参观洞穴，我们有史前历史，这是我们和博物馆一起做的，我们让学校来和他们一起做示范。我们会打扮得尽可能真实再现Cheddar Man的时代，也就是一万年前的中石器时代。例如，我们做点火，希望这能激励年轻人！在博物馆的花园里，把峡谷的一部分作为背景，这真的很酷，你可以真正沉浸在那一刻。)”可知，Paul描述了他们在博物馆花园中重现中石器时代的活动，并且穿着相应的服装进行火种点燃等展示，以期激发年轻人的兴趣即他参与重建中石器时代的场景。故选C。
39．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Cheddar Gorge is like nothing else in the UK. It’s a unique phenomenon, because although there are other caves in the country, you don’t have the gorge elsewhere. (Cheddar Gorge在英国是独一无二的。这是一种独特的现象，因为尽管这个国家还有其他洞穴，但你在其他地方没有峡谷。)”以及第四段中“The Cheddar Gorge spirit is strong. (The Cheddar Gorge的精神是很强劲的)以及第五段中“Every day at Cheddar Gorge and Caves is different. (在Cheddar Gorge和洞穴的每一天都不一样。)”以及第六段中“My favourite spot is when you go past the peak on the walk and you can look back down into the gorge or across to the reservoir. (我最喜欢的地方是当你走过山顶时，你可以回头看到峡谷或对面的水库。)”以及通读全文可知，整篇文章都围绕PAUL HEMINGTON对Cheddar Gorge的热情和对其自然美丽、野生动物、地质学和史前历史等方面的认识和喜爱进行了描述。因此，他谈论的主题是Cheddar Gorge对他来说有什么特别之处。故选D。
40．D 41．A 42．C
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了如何有效地追踪小说中的角色，作者分享了她使用的一些方法。
40．细节理解题。根据表格第一列中倒数第二段的“I’m also a big fan of spreadsheets. I create one that has the name, date of birth and age of my characters at any given time in the novel – or novels if it’s a series. This is particularly helpful for controlling timelines, as I only need to change one date and the rest are set up to update automatically.(我也是电子表格的忠实粉丝。我创建了一个包含我在小说中任何给定时间的角色的名字、出生日期和年龄的表——如果是一个系列小说的话。这对于控制时间线特别有帮助，因为我只需要更改一个日期，其余的都设置为自动更新。)”可知，电子表格对于控制故事的时间线最有用。故选D。
41．细节理解题。根据表格第二列的最后一段“Sometimes there may be a quote within a quote. It can be single quotes within double quotes or the other way around. But don’t mix the two styles within the story to avoid confusion.(有时候，在一个引语中可能会有一个引语。它可以是双引号中的单引号，也可以是双引号中的单引号。但不要在故事中混合这两种风格，以免混淆。) ”可知，单引号可以在双引号内部，或双引号在单引号内部。这种结构有助于区分对话的整体和具体言论，并且使得整个对话更易于理解和阅读。在所给内容中，对话是由一个角色Milly说出的，则A现符合要求，外层的单引号用于标记一个对话的开始和结束，而内层的双引号则用于标记对话中的实际言论。故选A。
42．推理判断题。根据第段的“Should I use single quotes or double quotes for dialogue (对话应该用单引号还是双引号？)”可知，梦想成为小说家的格蕾丝·路易斯还是新手，因此最可能问这个问题：对于克服写作障碍，你有什么建议吗？故选C。
43．D 44．D 45．C 46．B
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了混合工作还有未解决的问题。
43．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“According to Nicholas Bloom of Stanford University, making new employees spend more time in the office can be a good way of integrating them into company culture and improving their competence.(斯坦福大学的Nicholas Bloom认为，让新员工花更多的时间在办公室是让他们能够融入公司文化、提高竞争力的好方法。)”可知，办公室工作能帮助新的员工觉得自己是公司的一部分，故选D。
44．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“An agreement holds that there should be agreed “anchor days” on which all the people come to work in the office; since the idea is to spend time together, as many people as possible should be there. But one person on the team might have moved somewhere else; someone else might have asked to stay home to let the repairer in.(一项协议认为，应该有一个商定的“锚定日”；既然想法是大家花时间在一起，尽可能多的人都在这一天来办公室工作。但是团队中的一个人可能已经搬到其他地方了；其他人可能会要求待在家里让修理工进来。)”可知，员工可能有各种私人事务要处理，这使得在锚定日很难强制出勤，故选D。
45．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The era of hybrid working is only just beginning, so it will take time for answers to emerge. But if there is a message from this first full year of hybrid working, it is that flexibility does not mean a free-for-all.(混合工作的时代才刚刚开始，所以答案的出现还需要时间。但是，如果有一个完整的混合工作年信息的话，那就是灵活性并不意味着自由竞争。)”可知，作者最有可能同意允许工作安排的灵活性并不意味着没有规则，故选C。
46．主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“But a shift on this large scale is bound to raise tricky issues. In workplaces that have moved to hybrid work, there are still plenty of open questions.(但是如此大规模的转变必然会引发棘手的问题。在已经转向混合工作制的工作场所，仍然有许多未解的问题。)”以及后文对这些问题的具体介绍，可知，本文主要讲述了混合工作还有一些未解决的问题，故答案为B。
47．D 48．F 49．A 50．C
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章解释了我们为什么会一直咳嗽。
47．根据前文“The symptom can stick around for weeks after our bodies have cleared a virus. Michael Shiloh, a physician specializing in infectious disease research at UT Southwestern Medical Center, says coughing patients often report that they were sick as many as eight weeks prior to seeing him.(在我们的身体清除病毒后，这种症状可能会持续数周。西南医学院中心专门从事传染病研究的医生Michael Shiloh说道，咳嗽病人通常他们在就诊前八周报告自己生病了)”可知，前文提到我们的身体在清除病毒后，仍然会咳嗽数周。故D项“但我们无法从这些人身上真正检测到病毒，但他们仍然在咳嗽。”是前文的顺义承接，前文提到了我们的身体在清除病毒后，仍然会咳嗽数周，故那些咳嗽病人报告自己前几周就生病了，但却无法在他们身上检测到病毒，而他们却仍然在咳嗽，故选D项。
48．根据空前“The United States saw a sharp rise in cases of influenza in late 2023 that’s dragged on into 2024. And though positive tests for the illness have leveled off or decreased countrywide over the past weeks, the number of people seeking healthcare for respiratory (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated across much of the U.S.(美国的流感病例在2023年末急剧上升，一直拖到2024年。尽管在过去的几周里，全国范围内的阳性检测呈平稳或下降的趋势，但寻求呼吸系统医疗保健的人数在美国大部分地区仍在上升)”和空后“But research on how infections affect nerves in the airway is revealing new clues.(但关于感染如何影响气道神经的研究解释了新的线索)”可知，空前提到呼吸系统出现问题的人数却在不断上升，空后提出关于气道神经的研究提出了新的线索，故F项“科学家们仍然不确定为什么健康人会出现这种持续咳嗽。”符合，F项中的this kind of persistent cough指的是前文中“the number of people seeking healthcare for respiratory (呼吸的) diseases is still elevated across much of the U.S.”，本空提出科学家的疑问，空后表明有了新的线索，故选F项。
49．根据空前“Coughing is an important reaction that protects the airway from dangers like water or bits of mis-swallowed food, says doctor and researcher Lorcan McGarvey of Queen’s University Belfast.(贝尔法斯特女王大学的医生兼研究员Lorcan McGarvey说道，咳嗽是一种重要的反应，可以保护气道免受水或误食等的危险。)”以及空后“These nerves are decorated with receptor (受体) proteins that react to everything from cold air to hot pepper.(这些神经被受体蛋白质保护着，对从冷空气到辣椒的一切都有反应)”可知，空前提到咳嗽是保护气道的一种反应，空后则解释这些神经是被受体蛋白保护着，故A项“这种感应是由进入气道的神经引起的”符合，承上启下，A项中的The action指代空前的an important reaction，空后的These nerves指代A项中nerves，故选A项。
50．根据空前“While it may seem obvious that coughing is meant to clear our throats, it’s also possible that viruses cause the reaction to help themselves spread.(尽管咳嗽明显是为了清嗓子，但病毒也有可能引起这种感应以帮助自己传播)”以及空后“And if we do ultimately cough to clear out our airway during an infection, that still wouldn’t explain what exactly our nerves sense during an infection that causes a cough.(并且如果我们在感染期间以咳嗽来清理嗓子，这仍然无法解释我们的神经在导致咳嗽的感染期间到底能感觉到什么)”可知，空前提到我们在清理嗓子的时候病毒会借此机会来得以传播，空后则提出了我们在感染期间以咳嗽清理嗓子，这无法解释我们的神经能感受到什么来然我们咳嗽，故C项“许多感染都是干咳而不生痰。”符合，与空后构成递进关系，许多感染是干咳而没有痰，那也就无法解释我们的神经感受到了什么，从而让我们在感染期间咳嗽，故选C项。
51．Complaining is increasingly common in our life. It falls into different categories, including complaints about others’ behaviors, one’s discomfort, and undesirable obligations. Actually, complaining isn’t really helpful because it is harmful to long-term happiness despite its temporary relief. Furthermore, the emotions of those around you will be negatively influenced due to its infectious nature.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍说，抱怨在我们的生活中越来越普遍。它分为不同的类别，包括抱怨他人的行为，自己的不适，以及不受欢迎的义务。事实上，抱怨并没有真正的帮助，因为它对长期的幸福有害，尽管它能暂时缓解痛苦。此外，由于它的传染性，你周围的人的情绪也会受到负面影响。
【详解】1.要点摘录
①Survey data show that customers today are more than twice as likely to complain about a product or service as they were in 1976. A U. K.-based survey also observed a rise in job dissatisfaction over a two-year period before autumn 2022.
②Complaints can be grouped into different categories. As is reported, 45 percent of complaints concern the behavior of others. For instance, parents repeatedly criticize their children for small issues like messy bedrooms or dirty clothes. Another 29 percent focus on personal discomfort. A common complaint in this category might be about feeling too hot in a room without air conditioner. The remaining 26 percent involve unpleasant obligations like unnecessary work meetings people are forced to attend.
③Researchers who measured people’s mood before and after they complained found that those complainers’ mood was significantly worsening.
④Besides, complaining can also lower the happiness of the people around you. In some relationships, the negative effect can pass like a virus to those exposed. In other words, when people see others’ complaints expressing anger, disgust and sadness, they can, in turn, feel similar emotions.
2.缜密构思 将第1个要点进行总说，将第2、3、4三个要点进行分说。
3.遣词造句
Complaining is increasingly common in our life.
It falls into different categories, including complaints about others’ behaviors, one’s discomfort, and undesirable obligations.
Actually, complaining isn’t really helpful because it is harmful to long-term happiness despite its temporary relief.
Furthermore, the emotions of those around you will be negatively influenced due to its infectious nature.
【点睛】[高分句型1] Actually, complaining isn’t really helpful because it is harmful to long-term happiness despite its temporary relief.运用because引导原因状语从句对原文第三段进行了概括。
[高分句型2] Furthermore, the emotions of those around you will be negatively influenced due to its infectious nature.运用了省略关系词的定语从句对第三段进行了概括，表达非常高级。
52．It is because we have once been caught in the rain that we hold umbrellas for others.
【详解】考查动词以及强调句。分析句子可知，“因为我们曾经淋过雨” 是原因状语从句，使用because引导从句，“淋过雨”应使用动词短语be caught in the rain，根据句意可知，原因状语从句应使用现在完成时，因此，从句可以翻译成because we have once been caught in the rain。“撑伞”的英语是hold umbrellas，句子陈述现在状态，时态使用一般现在时，因此本句可以翻译成We hold umbrellas for others because we have once been caught in the rain。根据题目要求使用“It …”句型，可以把句子写成强调句结构，强调的是原因状语从句“因为我们曾经淋过雨”，故翻译为It is because we have once been caught in the rain that we hold umbrellas for others.
53．Artificial intelligence is enabling us to witness an ever-evolving/a constantly-changing new era/ a new era which/that changes with each passing day/a new era which/that changes quickly/rapidly.
【详解】考查固定短语、非谓语动词、名词、定语从句、时态。表示“人工智能”用artificial intelligence，作主语，位于句首，首字母大写。表示“使某人做某事”用enable us to do sth.，结合语境可知事情正在发生，故时态用现在进行时，且主语为第三人称单数，故be动词用is。表示“我们”用us，作宾语。表示“见证”用witness，用不定式，作us的补足语。表示“日新月异的”用ever-evolving/constantly-changing，作定语，修饰“时代”。此处泛指“一个日新月异的新时代”，且ever-evolving以元音音素开头，应用不定冠词an；constantly-changing以辅音音素开头，应用不定冠词a。表示“新时代”用new era，作witness的宾语。或者表示“新月异的”用定语从句，先行词是a new era，指物，关系词代替先行词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that/wich引导，表示“变化”用change，从句陈述事实，故时态用一般现在时，故谓语用第三人称单数形式changes；表示“快速地”用副词quickly/rapidly，作状语，修饰changes；或者“日益，一天天”用with each passing day。故翻译为Artificial intelligence is enabling us to witness an ever-evolving/a constantly-changing new era/ a new era which/that changes with each passing day/a new era which/that changes quickly/rapidly.
54．As young individuals, we possess immense creativity, allowing us to imagine boldly and explore fearlessly. /As young individuals, we are very creative, full of imagination and brave/courageous to explore.
【详解】考查时态、介词短语、非谓语动词。表示“作为年轻人”含义的表达为：as young individuals；表示“具有极强的创造力”可以用动词短语possess immense creativity或be very creative，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时；表示“可以大胆设想、勇敢探索”含义的表达为：allow us to imagine boldly and explore fearlessly，因该表达在句子中作状语，使用非谓语动词，又因与逻辑主语we之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，使用现在分词，该表达还可以使用形容词短语，翻译为：full of imagination and brave或courageous to explore，故翻译为：As young individuals, we possess immense creativity, allowing us to imagine boldly and explore fearlessly. /As young individuals, we are very creative, full of imagination and brave/courageous to explore.
55．Combining the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with everyday wearability, “New Chinese-style” clothing is currently being embraced by the younger generation./The “New Chinese-style” clothing combines the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with daily wear, and is being embraced by the younger generation.
【详解】考查短语、非谓语动词、动词时态和语态。根据中文提示可知，本句主语为“‘新中式’服装”译为(the)“New Chinese-style” clothing，表示“既能体现中华优秀传统文化魅力，也能融入日常穿搭”可以用非谓语动词表达，逻辑主语clothing与combine……with…“结合……”构成逻辑上的主动关系，用现在分词，表示“中华优秀传统文化魅力”用the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture，表示“日常穿搭”用everyday wearability，currently“目前”作状语，表示“受年轻一代追捧”用现在进行时的被动语态is being embraced by the young generation。也可以用并列句表达，“既能体现中华优秀传统文化魅力，也能融入日常穿搭”用一般现在时句子，主语为单数，谓语动词combine用第三人称单数，译为：combines the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with daily wear，将“‘正受到年轻一代追捧’”与其用and并列。故翻译为Combining the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with everyday wearability, “New Chinese-style” clothing is currently being embraced by the younger generation./The “New Chinese-style” clothing combines the charm of excellent traditional Chinese culture with daily wear, and is being embraced by the younger generation.
56．Sample 1
If I were a student in this class, I would choose topic one: “Prime years do not return; a day’s morning is hard to come by again.”
I am drawn to this topic because it speaks to the essence of seizing the moment and cherishing the present. It prompts reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the importance of making the most of our youth and opportunities.
My approach to this topic would be to draw from personal experiences and observations to illustrate the significance of embracing each day and living with purpose. I would share anecdotes of moments where I felt the weight of time passing, inspiring me to take action and pursue my passions.
I would explore themes of ambition, resilience, and gratitude, emphasizing the value of perseverance in the face of challenges and the importance of cultivating meaningful relationships.
Ultimately, I would aim to convey a message of empowerment and motivation, encouraging others to embrace the present moment, seize opportunities, and live with intention. By recognizing the fleeting nature of time and the preciousness of each day, we can strive to make a positive impact and create lasting memories.Sample 2
If I were a student in this class, I would choose topic two: addressing the unbalanced knowledge structures caused by the current emphasis on entrance exams. My choice stems from the relevance and importance of this issue in the educational landscape today.
My approach to this topic would involve first acknowledging the root causes of the problem, such as excessive focus on exam-oriented learning and neglect of holistic education. Then, I would propose practical solutions like curriculum reforms to encourage interdisciplinary learning, promoting critical thinking skills over rote memorization, and incorporating project-based assessments to gauge a student’s true understanding.
I believe this topic offers a chance to explore innovative educational strategies that can lead to more well-rounded and adaptable learners, better equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world. By addressing the issue of unbalanced knowledge structures, we can foster a learning environment that values both academic achievement and personal growth.Sample 3
If I were a student in this class, I would choose topic three: continuing the story of “When the last earthling sat in the room, there came a knock on the door...”
I am drawn to this topic because of its open-ended nature, which allows for creativity and imagination to take flight. It presents an opportunity to explore themes of loneliness, curiosity, and the unknown, offering a canvas for storytelling that can captivate both the writer and the reader.
My approach to this topic would involve delving into the emotions and thoughts of the last earthling as they hear the knock on the door. I would consider various possibilities for who or what could be on the other side of the door – perhaps it’s another survivor, an alien visitor, or even a symbolic representation of hope or redemption.
I would aim to create a narrative that builds suspense and intrigue, keeping the reader engaged as they eagerly await the revelation behind the mysterious knock. Through descriptive language and vivid imagery, I would seek to evoke a sense of wonder and anticipation, leaving the reader with a lingering sense of curiosity and a desire for more.
