4.D 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Li Jing, 29, currently serves as the director assistant to the village secretary of Maotianping Village Committee in Cuijiaba, a town in Hubei Province. Li is a native of this village and was one of the first from her community to achieve higher education. She studied hotel management and tourism. After graduation, she started a career in the hotel industry in Wuhan. However, she made a decision last year to return to her village. She wants to be an essential part of her hometown’s development, realizing her own personal value.”以及最后一段“In the near future, Li hopes to continue helping her fellow villagers raise their potato production and increase their income. Her long-term vision is to promote urban-rural integration (整合).”并结合文章主要介绍了29岁的大学毕业生李静返乡创业并带领乡亲们种植土豆致富的故事可知,D选项“来自村庄,为村庄服务”符合文章大意,故选D。

【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了许多研究者认为经过良好设计的大脑练习能够改善头脑思维能力,但批评者则对大脑训练应用程序的有效性表示怀疑。值得注意的是,虽然有证据显示短期记忆训练对高功能人群有益,但大脑训练并不是对每个人都有相同效果。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.”可知,许多研究者认为大脑类似于肌肉,可以通过重复的练习来得到加强和训练,即训练方法相似。故选D。
6.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for the brain.

1.B 根据上文“The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It’s believing in a brighter future and acting towards it.”以及后文“Here are strategies that can help cultivate hope.”可知,本句主要引出后文,指出希望可以被培养,B选项中it对应上文中的hope。故B选项(它可以被教导和培养。)符合语境,
故选B。
2.C 根据后文“Make it a point to always be working towards at least one goal that’s meaningful, Hellman advises.

3.E 根据上文“Brainstorm solutions. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you, but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to generate lots of ways.”可知,本句承接上文,与上文构成因果关系,指出想出很多办法的结果。故E选项(所以,如果一个不成功,他们有另一个选择随时可用。)符合语境,故选E。
4.F 根据上文“Seek out success stories. It’s said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also get a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves.”可知,本段在说人们通过他人的成功事迹来培养希望,故F选项(看到别人成功,他们觉得自己也能成功。)符合语境,故选F。
5.G 根据上文“Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as ‘the instrument of hope’. Let’s say you set a goal for the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting on or talking about what would happen if you achieved it. ‘How does it impact you, or how would it benefit others ’ he says.”以及后文“And when you can see yourself in the future, that is the very essence of hope.”可知,本段的主旨是在脑海中发挥想象力,从而获得希望。故G选项(你和我都有在脑海中播放电影的这一奇妙能力。)符合语境,故选G。

句型公式
【句式点拨】
having set himself this goal 是现在分词的完成式。现在分词的完成式表示的动作先于谓语的动作发生,一般只用来作状语,其被动结构为having been done。based on是过去分词短语作定语(相当于省略关系代词和be动词的定语从句),修饰前面的novels and short stories。
【易混辨析】
现在分词的一般式与完成式的区别
现在分词的一般式所表示的动作一般与主句谓语的动作同时或几乎同时发生,作时间状语时有“一……就……”之意,而现在分词的完成式所表示的动作则先于主句谓语的动作发生,有“在……之后……”之意。如:
Realizing the importance of the task, he went at it hammer and tongs.
→As soon as he realized the importance of the task, he went at it hammer and tongs.
认识到任务的重要性,他全力以赴地去做这项任务。

Li Jing, 29, currently serves as the director assistant to the village secretary of Maotianping Village Committee in Cuijiaba, a town in Hubei Province. Li is a native of this village and was one of the first from her community to achieve higher education. She studied hotel management and tourism. After graduation, she started a career in the hotel industry in Wuhan. However, she made a decision last year to return to her village. She wants to be an essential part of her hometown’s development, realizing her own personal value.
When Li returned to her hometown, she received unconditional support from her family, despite some villagers’ questioning her decision. She resolved to prove herself through determination and action.
Her job involves extensive communication with the villagers, with over half of her workload about promoting potato production, the main business of the village. Li and the villagers regularly hold meetings in the village square, where they share insights on potato planting techniques, sales channels, market trends, and more. These gatherings provide her with opportunities to equip the villagers with planting tools and offer a window for them to voice their concerns and experiences.
In her spare time, Li remains closely connected with the villagers through regular conversations. She admits that it demands a considerable investment of time and energy, but it’s all worthwhile.
Li has very fond memories of an incident from last year when one villager had a poor potato crop. Although her potatoes were unimpressive in terms of size and quality, she held faith in Li and worked tirelessly and enthusiastically. Li never forgets the smiles on the villagers’ faces at harvest time, which is the ultimate reward for her.
In the near future, Li hopes to continue helping her fellow villagers raise their potato production and increase their income. Her long-term vision is to promote urban-rural integration (整合).

文体:议论文 主题:人与自我 词数:327
If there was an app on your phone that claimed to improve your memory, would you be willing to try it It’s hard to resist the idea of having a better memory. After all, our memories are delicate and can be affected by various factors such as diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and aging.
In response to this perceived need, the brain training industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range of accessible and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and even lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly exercising specific muscle groups.
In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require tracking a large number of objects while being distracted by a secondary task, such as mental calculations or exploring a game’s landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be beneficial to individuals with brain-related disabilities or those recovering from conditions like cancer.
Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing, the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective or determine the best approaches to addressing the diverse needs of individuals seeking help.
While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence suggesting that short-term working memory training can benefit high-functioning individuals, such as college students. However, it’s important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise, is unlikely to have identical effects on every individual.

The solution to any despair might be hope, experts say. It’s believing in a brighter future and acting towards it. 1. Here are strategies that can help cultivate hope. As Hellman, an assistant professor of psychology at Suffolk University in Boston, points out, “Hope begets hope, and it has such a significant protective factor.”
2. Make it a point to always be working towards at least one goal that’s meaningful, Hellman advises. In other words, it shouldn’t be something you have to do but something you want to do. “Goals can be anything that’s important to us,” he says.
Brainstorm solutions. If you’ve set a goal that’s meaningful to you, but you can’t figure out a way to achieve it, you’ll probably feel pretty hopeless. People who are high in hope, meanwhile, tend to generate lots of ways. 3. If you’re struggling to make a plan, Hellman suggests sitting down with a pen and paper and giving yourself an hour to brainstorm solutions.
Seek out success stories. It’s said that people cultivate hope by seeking support from their parents and specific teachers. But they also get a lot out of learning about other people who have done well for themselves. Hellman says, “4. ”
Tap into your imagination. Hellman thinks of imagination as “the instrument of hope”. Let’s say you set a goal for the week. Spend a few minutes reflecting on or talking about what would happen if you achieved it. “How does it impact you, or how would it benefit others ” he says. “5. And when you can see yourself in the future, that is the very essence of hope.”
A.Do something meaningful.
B.It can be taught and nurtured.
C.Think in a goal-oriented way.
D.With these good examples, people are bound to be successful.
E.So, if one doesn’t work out, they have an alternative at the ready.
F.By seeing other people succeed, they feel like they could succeed.
G.You and I have this wonderful capacity to play a movie in our head.

After graduation, she started a career in the hotel industry in

Her job involves extensive communication with the villagers,
with over half of her workload about promoting potato
production, the main business of the village. Li and the villagers
regularly hold meetings in the village square, where they share
insights on potato planting techniques, sales channels, market
trends, and more. These gatherings provide her with
opportunities to equip the villagers with planting tools and offer
a window for them to voice their concerns and experiences.

In her spare time, Li remains closely connected with the
villagers through regular conversations. She admits that it
demands a considerable investment of time and energy, but it's
all worthwhile.
Li has very fond memories of an incident from last year
when one villager had a poor potato crop. Although her
potatoes were unimpressive in terms of size and quality, she
held faith in Li and worked tirelessly and enthusiastically. Li
never forgets the smiles on the villagers' faces at harvest time,
which is the ultimate reward for her.

If there was an app on your phone that claimed to
improve your memory, would you be willing to try it It's hard
to resist the idea of having a better memory. After all, our
memories are delicate and can be affected by various factors
such as diseases, injuries, mental health conditions, and aging.
In response to this perceived need, the brain training
industry has grown rapidly, offering a wide range of accessible

and affordable mental exercises through smartphone and tablet
apps. Many researchers have found evidence suggesting that
well-designed exercises can improve mental abilities and even
lead to better scores on IQ tests. They compare the brain to
muscles, suggesting that targeted repetition of memory exercises
can strengthen and condition our memory processes, similar to
how athletes engage in strength and conditioning by repeatedly
exercising specific muscle groups.

In contrast to everyday activities like reading a detailed
article or solving a complex puzzle, memory training apps are
specifically designed to provide a more challenging workout for
the brain. These apps typically involve tasks that require tracking
a large number of objects while being distracted by a secondary
task, such as mental calculations or exploring a game's
landscape. If this brain training proves effective, it could be
beneficial to individuals with brain-related disabilities or those
recovering from conditions like cancer.

Critics, though, argue that while the concept is appealing,
the overall evidence fails to demonstrate significant improvement
in core brain processes. Additionally, despite the claims made by
many apps and brain training companies, scientists have yet to
identify the key factors that make an intervention truly effective
or determine the best approaches to addressing the diverse
needs of individuals seeking help.
While the question is still open to debate, there is evidence
suggesting that short-term working memory training can benefit

it's important to note that brain training, like diet and exercise,
