A
I was terribly shy as a child. I couldn’t bear to be noticed and if I spoke people would notice me, so I spoke as little as possible. About four years ago, I was hanging out with my friends on a playground. I noticed two little girls, who came to play near where we were. The elder sister pulled the younger girl away from us but couldn’t go far, as her sister threw herself on to the ground crying and refusing to get up. I was longing to comfort her but felt unable to do so.
Then I thought: Why am I waiting for someone to give me permission to do what I feel is right I went over to the little girl and held out my hand. I had merely intended to help her up first but instead she pulled me down into a tight hug. I instantly felt the surge of her emotions flood through me. We knelt on the ground hugging tightly for what felt like a longtime; at one point I tried to move away but she wouldn’t let me go. The elder girl had run off, and reappeared with a man I took to be their father. She pointed at me accusingly (谴责地). It occurred to me that he would probably be angry at a stranger hugging his child and might shout at me or even hit me. I then decided that it didn’t matter if he did hit me. At that moment, the only thing that mattered in the world was comforting the little girl in my arms.
To my surprise, the man wasn’t angry. He just nodded and held his arms out to his child. She calmed down and went to him willingly. He carried her away and the sister followed them. I watched them disappear into the crowd.
That day, I learned that I can speak, and if-I can’t speak, I can take action, which is often easier. I still find speaking difficult. But now I know that if I need to, I can.
1. Why did the author approach the little girl on the playground
A. To scold her for crying on the playground.
B. To join in the play with her and her sister.
C. To understand why she was so emotional.
D. To offer comfort and assistance to her.
2. Why did the author think it didn’t matter if the father got angry or hit them
A. Her friends would protect her.
B She didn’t care about the consequences.
C. She believed the father was friendly.
D. She was trying to impress the little girl.
3. What is the main message the author wants to convey through this story
A. The significance of seeking permission before helping others.
B. The benefits of taking action and making a difference to others.
C. The necessity of caution when interacting with strangers’ kids.
D. The importance of overcoming shyness and becoming brave.

Brandon will, 41, put his writing career on hold to become a full-time caregiver to his mom. He takes her on slow walks, trying to encourage her without getting frustrated. He arranges phone calls with her friends, cleans, cooks, and helps her dress and bathe. When she is thirsty, he gets her water.
His mom, Janice Will, 72, has Parkinson’s disease and can’t walk unaided across the room. “It’s very humbling,” Janice says. She feels sad to have taken him away from the life he was building in New York.
When she was diagnosed(诊断) with Parkinson’s in 2015, Brandon had just been offered a publishing job in New York and thought he could manage his mom’s care. He envisioned freelancing(从事自由职业) full-time while caring for Janice, but Parkinson’s is progressive and unpredictable. After Janice had a serious fall in 2018, he knew he had to return to the Midwest to live with her. Occasionally, he turned down jobs because he wasn’t sure he could meet a deadline or asked for extensions when his mom had an emergency. While people are generally understanding, he says, his explanation “still feel like my dog ate my homework” excuses.
He says he has no regrets about becoming his mom’s caregiver, but there are financial and personal consequences. “These are my prime earning years. I will always be working to catch up,” says Brandon.
Younger caregivers are frequently torn between work responsibilities and care. The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers found that 23% of caregivers ages 18 to 44 had to quit their full-time jobs, while 57% had to reduce their hours and work part-time, according to a survey conducted in 2021.
Support groups have been invaluable. At one meeting, Brandon and Janice learned about a program called Dancing With Parkinson’s and now attend each Thursday. I love to dance, “Janice says. Brandon also joined an advocacy organization, Caring Across Generations, and he and his mom started writing together, posting essays on a website they call Our-Will-Power. Brandon says he has put aside, for now, aspirations to write young-adult novels and is working on a memoir about his initial hesitance to become a caregiver. He plans to call it “See If I Care.”
4. Which of the following words can be used to replace the word “envisioned” underlined in paragraph 3
A. feared B. imagined C. accepted D. prepared
5. Why does Brandon describe his explanation as “still feel like my dog ate my homework”
A. To show that his explanations are clear and well-received.
B. To show that he faces no challenges in explaining his situation：
C. To show that his explanation still sounds like excuses to others.
D. To show that people are generally unsympathetic to his situation.
6. In the last paragraph, how does Brandon and Janice deal with the challenges
A. By seeking mental support from each other and experienced groups.
B. By launching an advocacy organization for caregivers and older adults.
C. By carrying on with Brandon’s aspiration of writing young-adult novels.
D. By reading essays on a website and strengthening their will power.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作家Brandon照顾患病母亲的过程。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第三段中“He envisioned freelancing(从事自由职业) full-time while caring for Janice, but Parkinson’s is progressive and unpredictable. After Janice had a serious fall in 2018, he knew he had to return to the Midwest to live with her. (他envisioned在照顾珍妮丝的同时做全职自由职业者，但帕金森病是渐进的，不可预测的。在贾尼斯2018年严重摔倒后，他知道他必须回到中西部和她一起生活。)”可知，他没办法在照顾珍妮丝的同时做全职自由职业者，这只是他的设想和打算。A. feared害怕；B. imagined想象；C. accepted接受；D. prepared准备。结合选项可知，选项B的意思合适。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第三段中“While people are generally understanding, he says, his explanation “still feel like my dog ate my homework” excuses. (他说，虽然人们普遍理解，但他的解释“仍然感觉像我的狗吃了我的作业”的借口。)”可知，这种解释听起来是种借口，故布兰登把他的解释如此描述，为了表明他的解释对其他人来说仍然像是借口。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Support groups have been invaluable. At one meeting, Brandon and Janice learned about a program called Dancing With Parkinson’s and now attend each Thursday. I love to dance, “Janice says. Brandon also joined an advocacy organization, Caring Across Generations, and he and his mom started writing together, posting essays on a website they call Our-Will-Power. Brandon says he has put aside, for now, aspirations to write young-adult novels and is working on a memoir about his initial hesitance to become a caregiver. He plans to call it “See If I Care.” (支持团体是无价的。在一次会议上，布兰登和珍妮丝了解到一个名为“与帕金森共舞”的项目，现在他们每周四都会参加。我喜欢跳舞，”珍妮丝说。布兰登还加入了一个名为“跨代关怀”的倡导组织，他和妈妈开始一起写作，在一个名为“我们的意志力”的网站上发表文章。布兰登说，他现在已经把写青少年小说的愿望放在一边，正在写一本回忆录，讲述他最初对成为看护者的犹豫。他计划将其命名为“看我是否在乎”。)”可知，他们加入一些组织，通过寻求彼此和经验丰富的群体的心理支持。故选A。
C
Now, new research suggests frequent exercise might help you live well in another meaningful way—that is, in terms of income. Researchers investigated whether individuals who stayed active would earn more money as a result of their active lifestyle. It revealed that staying active not only resulted in higher present earnings, but also predicted increased future income throughout one’s life.
The researchers set out to explore three key correlations (相互关系)：How mobility-the ability to move, affected income, how mobility influenced income overtime, and whether exercise could help people maintain their mobility as they aged. The team analyzed data from Health and Retirement Study(HRS), the largest study tracking changes overtime in Americans aged 50 and above. This study takes into account various life aspects, including work, social status, health, psychology and family matters, as individuals age.
To evaluate the impact of current mobility on income, the researchers examined data from over 19, 000 respondents (调查对象) to determine how well they could perform simple tasks, such as climbing stairs, or moving around a room. Each person received a score, with 5 indicating full mobility and 0 indicating difficulties with these tasks. The researchers found that for each decrease in the mobility category, individuals lost out on an average of $3, 000 in annual income compared to their peers. Those who were active were also significantly more likely to remain working for longer than the other group. It appeared that engaging in exercise enabled individuals to maintain mobility and engage in professional life for a longer period of time than those who were less active.
Looking at earnings overtime revealed even more substantial benefits for those who remained active throughout their lives. Active individuals showed an overall income level that was $6, 500 higher, along with higher rates of employment. For the third part of the study, it’s not surprising that those who engaged in exercise continued to maintain their mobility after the age of 55 and had higher employment rates. Even exercising just one day a week showed improvements in mobility outcomes.
While this study doesn’t definitively prove that leading a healthy lifestyle directly leads to higher earnings, it strongly suggests that staying healthy and mobile brings benefits beyond just lower levels of disease.
7. What didn’t researchers take into consideration when designing their experiment
A. Family matters B. Work and social status
C. Health and psychology D. Educational background
8. According to paragraph 3, what’s the impact of current mobility on income
A. Increased mobility slightly reduces annual income
B. Greater mobility is closely related to higher income
C. Decreased mobility greatly increases the overall income
D. Maintaining mobility has nothing to do with the income
9. What’s the author’s attitude towards leading a healthy lifestyle
A. Favorable B. In different C. Opposed D. Doubtful
10. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Exercise Lowers Levels of All Diseases
B. Exercise Promotes Work Efficiency
C. Exercise Helps to Make More Money
D. Exercise Ensures A Longer Lifespan
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. A 10. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍新的研究表明经常锻炼不仅仅有助于降低疾病水平，还能增加收入。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“This study takes into account various life aspects, including work, social status, health, psychology and family matters, as individuals age.(这项研究考虑了随着个人年龄的增长，生活的各个方面，包括工作、社会地位、健康、心理和家庭事务)”可知，研究考虑了工作，社会地位，健康、心理和家庭事务。D项“教育背景”未提及。故选D。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“The researchers found that for each decrease in the mobility category, individuals lost out on an average of $3, 000 in annual income compared to their peers. (研究人员发现，与同龄人相比，活动性每降低一次，个人的年收入就平均减少3000美元)”可知，活动性降低一个等级，收入就平均减少3000美元。由此可知，较高的活动性和较高的收入有密切的关系。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While this study doesn’t definitively prove that leading a healthy lifestyle directly leads to higher earnings, it strongly suggests that staying healthy and mobile brings benefits beyond just lower levels of disease.(虽然这项研究并没有明确证明健康的生活方式直接导致更高的收入，但它强烈表明，保持健康和运动带来的好处不仅仅是降低疾病水平)”推知，作者对健康的生活方非常赞同。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段的“Now, new research suggests frequent exercise might help you live well in another meaningful way—that is, in terms of income.(现在，新的研究表明，经常锻炼可能会以另一种有意义的方式帮助你生活得更好——即在收入方面)”并结合下文用实验对此进行证明可知，文章主要介绍经常锻炼不仅仅有助于降低疾病水平，还能增加收入。因此C项“锻炼有助于赚更多的钱”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选C。

How to Take Notes from a Textbook

Paraphrase information from the text.
____12____Paraphrasing information usually shows that you really understood what you read. It will likely be more meaningful to you later when you are reviewing your notes if you have written them in your own words.
____13____
Your notes may take on the form of a chart. You might draw yourself a timeline of events so that you can see the order that things happened and not just a list of events. The notes are your study aid, so it’s best to write them in a way that makes sense to you.
Organize your notes in a meaningful way.
Depending on the subject, you may want to organize your notes in a particular way. History notes maybe most logically taken in time order. Science notes, however, may need to be taken in a particular order that shows mastery of one concept before moving on to the next.____14____
Add visual elements if it helps you.
Visual learners are often helped by visual representations in their own notes.____15____You may want to draw a simple comics trip(连环漫画) to show a specific event or interaction between people. Don’t let adding visual elements distract you from the task at hand, but add visuals if it will help you remember the material more effectively.
A. Use a format that works for you.
B. Use tools to aid your understanding.
C. You might want to write down a copy of a graph (图表) instead of writing information about it.
D. Before you begin reading or taking notes, preview the chapter.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。记好笔记是一种节省时间的技巧，文章主要介绍了一些记笔记的方法。
【11题详解】
上文“You should not write down every piece of information in the book.(你不应该把书里的每一条信息都写下来)”说明不要记下所有的信息，G项“你也不应该每页写一个事实，否则你可能会浪费宝贵的时间。”与上文意思一致，说明记笔记需要注意有选择性，呼应主题。故选G。
【12题详解】
根据段落主题Paraphrase information from the text.可知，本段讲述改写文本中的信息。也就是说不要照抄照搬文本中的东西，要用自己的话写笔记，因此推断E项“你应该用自己的话记笔记”符合语境，故选E。
【13题详解】
空处为段落标题。根据下文“Your notes may take on the form of a chart. You might draw yourself a timeline of events so that you can see the order that things happened and not just a list of events. The notes are your study aid, so it’s best to write them in a way that makes sense to you.(你的笔记可以采用图表的形式。你可以给自己画一个事件的时间轴，这样你就可以看到事情发生的顺序，而不仅仅是一个事件列表。这些笔记是你学习的辅助工具，所以最好用一种对你有意义的方式来写)”可知，本段建议使用一些适合自己的格式记笔记，因此推断A项“使用适合自己的格式”概况主题。故选A。
【14题详解】
根据标题Organize your notes in a meaningful way.可知，本段建议使用有意义的方式记笔记，上文“History notes maybe most logically taken in time order. Science notes, however, may need to be taken in a particular order that shows mastery of one concept before moving on to the next.( 历史笔记按时间顺序可能是最有逻辑的。然而，科学笔记可能需要以特定的顺序进行记录，以显示掌握了一个概念，然后再进行下一个概念。)”举例说明了有意义的管理笔记的方式，F项“把每节课的笔记放在不同的文件夹里也是个好主意，这样就不会混淆了。”承接上文，列举了管理笔记的另一种有意义的方式。故选F。
【15题详解】
上文“Visual learners are often helped by visual representations in their own notes.(视觉学习者经常通过自己笔记中视觉表现得到帮助)”讲述了视觉记忆对于视觉学习者的益处，C项“您可能想要用图标记录，而不是写下有关它的信息”列举了视觉记忆的一种方式，符合语境。故选C。

【47题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：说到令人印象深刻的跨水道桥梁，中国的港珠澳大桥和美国的旧金山—奥克兰海湾大桥都是引人注目的项目。project是可数名词，此处是两个项目，因此空格处用复数，故填projects。

【49题详解】

【51题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这座桥是一项非凡的工程成就，它不仅是一个便利的交通枢纽，也是一个令人惊叹的地标。achievement是可数名词，表泛指，前面要加不定冠词，remarkable是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。

考查形容词。句意：港珠澳大桥为游客提供了许多吸引人的景点。空格处用形容词作定语，修饰名词sights，attract的形容词是attractive，意为“吸引人的”，故填attractive。
【53题详解】
考查名词。句意：令人惊讶的是，它将三个不同的地区紧密地连接在一起，游客可以在一天内探索香港、澳门和珠海的多元文化、美食和景点。to one’s amazement意为“让某人惊讶的是”，因此空格处是amazement。故填amazement。
【54题详解】
考查副词。句意：令人惊讶的是，它将三个不同的地区紧密地连接在一起，游客可以在一天内探索香港、澳门和珠海的多元文化、美食和景点。空格处用副词closely修饰动词connects，closely意为“紧密地”。故填closely。
【55题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这座桥连接着旧金山和奥克兰，为探索该地区提供了一个理想的门户。空格处引导的是非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词bridge是物，因此空格处用关系代词which，故填which。

A
I was terribly shy as a child. I couldn’t bear to be noticed and if I spoke people would notice me, so I spoke as little as possible. About four years ago, I was hanging out with my friends on a playground. I noticed two little girls, who came to play near where we were. The elder sister pulled the younger girl away from us but couldn’t go far, as her sister threw herself on to the ground crying and refusing to get up. I was longing to comfort her but felt unable to do so.
Then I thought: Why am I waiting for someone to give me permission to do what I feel is right I went over to the little girl and held out my hand. I had merely intended to help her up first but instead she pulled me down into a tight hug. I instantly felt the surge of her emotions flood through me. We knelt on the ground hugging tightly for what felt like a longtime; at one point I tried to move away but she wouldn’t let me go. The elder girl had run off, and reappeared with a man I took to be their father. She pointed at me accusingly (谴责地). It occurred to me that he would probably be angry at a stranger hugging his child and might shout at me or even hit me. I then decided that it didn’t matter if he did hit me. At that moment, the only thing that mattered in the world was comforting the little girl in my arms.
To my surprise, the man wasn’t angry. He just nodded and held his arms out to his child. She calmed down and went to him willingly. He carried her away and the sister followed them. I watched them disappear into the crowd.
That day, I learned that I can speak, and if-I can’t speak, I can take action, which is often easier. I still find speaking difficult. But now I know that if I need to, I can.
1. Why did the author approach the little girl on the playground
A. To scold her for crying on the playground.
B. To join in the play with her and her sister.
C. To understand why she was so emotional.
D. To offer comfort and assistance to her.
2. Why did the author think it didn’t matter if the father got angry or hit them
A. Her friends would protect her.
B. She didn’t care about the consequences.
C. She believed the father was friendly.
D. She was trying to impress the little girl.
3. What is the main message the author wants to convey through this story
A. The significance of seeking permission before helping others.
B. The benefits of taking action and making a difference to others.
C. The necessity of caution when interacting with strangers’ kids.
D. The importance of overcoming shyness and becoming brave.
B
Brandon will, 41, put his writing career on hold to become a full-time caregiver to his mom. He takes her on slow walks, trying to encourage her without getting frustrated. He arranges phone calls with her friends, cleans, cooks, and helps her dress and bathe. When she is thirsty, he gets her water.
His mom, Janice Will, 72, has Parkinson’s disease and can’t walk unaided across the room. “It’s very humbling,” Janice says. She feels sad to have taken him away from the life he was building in New York.
When she was diagnosed(诊断) with Parkinson’s in 2015, Brandon had just been offered a publishing job in New York and thought he could manage his mom’s care. He envisioned freelancing(从事自由职业) full-time while caring for Janice, but Parkinson’s is progressive and unpredictable. After Janice had a serious fall in 2018, he knew he had to return to the Midwest to live with her. Occasionally, he turned down jobs because he wasn’t sure he could meet a deadline or asked for extensions when his mom had an emergency. While people are generally understanding, he says, his explanation “still feel like my dog ate my homework” excuses.
He says he has no regrets about becoming his mom’s caregiver, but there are financial and personal consequences. “These are my prime earning years. I will always be working to catch up,” says Brandon.
Younger caregivers are frequently torn between work responsibilities and care. The Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers found that 23% of caregivers ages 18 to 44 had to quit their full-time jobs, while 57% had to reduce their hours and work part-time, according to a survey conducted in 2021.
Support groups have been invaluable. At one meeting, Brandon and Janice learned about a program called Dancing With Parkinson’s and now attend each Thursday. I love to dance, “Janice says. Brandon also joined an advocacy organization, Caring Across Generations, and he and his mom started writing together, posting essays on a website they call Our-Will-Power. Brandon says he has put aside, for now, aspirations to write young-adult novels and is working on a memoir about his initial hesitance to become a caregiver. He plans to call it “See If I Care.”
4. Which of the following words can be used to replace the word “envisioned” underlined in paragraph 3
A. feared B. imagined C. accepted D. prepared

Now, new research suggests frequent exercise might help you live well in another meaningful way—that is, in terms of income. Researchers investigated whether individuals who stayed active would earn more money as a result of their active lifestyle. It revealed that staying active not only resulted in higher present earnings, but also predicted increased future income throughout one’s life.
The researchers set out to explore three key correlations (相互关系)：How mobility-the ability to move, affected income, how mobility influenced income overtime, and whether exercise could help people maintain their mobility as they aged. The team analyzed data from Health and Retirement Study(HRS), the largest study tracking changes overtime in Americans aged 50 and above. This study takes into account various life aspects, including work, social status, health, psychology and family matters, as individuals age.
To evaluate the impact of current mobility on income, the researchers examined data from over 19, 000 respondents (调查对象) to determine how well they could perform simple tasks, such as climbing stairs, or moving around a room. Each person received a score, with 5 indicating full mobility and 0 indicating difficulties with these tasks. The researchers found that for each decrease in the mobility category, individuals lost out on an average of $3, 000 in annual income compared to their peers. Those who were active were also significantly more likely to remain working for longer than the other group. It appeared that engaging in exercise enabled individuals to maintain mobility and engage in professional life for a longer period of time than those who were less active.
Looking at earnings overtime revealed even more substantial benefits for those who remained active throughout their lives. Active individuals showed an overall income level that was $6, 500 higher, along with higher rates of employment. For the third part of the study, it’s not surprising that those who engaged in exercise continued to maintain their mobility after the age of 55 and had higher employment rates. Even exercising just one day a week showed improvements in mobility outcomes.
While this study doesn’t definitively prove that leading a healthy lifestyle directly leads to higher earnings, it strongly suggests that staying healthy and mobile brings benefits beyond just lower levels of disease.
7. What didn’t researchers take into consideration when designing their experiment
A. Family matters B. Work and social status
C. Health and psychology D. Educational background
8. According to paragraph 3, what’s the impact of current mobility on income
A. Increased mobility slightly reduces annual income
B. Greater mobility is closely related to higher income
C. Decreased mobility greatly increases the overall income
D. Maintaining mobility has nothing to do with the income
9 What’s the author’s attitude towards leading a healthy lifestyle
A. Favorable B. In different C. Opposed D. Doubtful
10. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Exercise Lowers Levels of All Diseases
B. Exercise Promotes Work Efficiency
C. Exercise Helps to Make More Money
D. Exercise Ensures A Longer Lifespan
