【解析】
【原文】W: What does it take to be a head chef Paul Heaton is here to tell us all about it.
M: Thanks! After I left school, I tried a few other things, including the local supermarket, but nothing really interested me until I got a job as a kitchen assistant. It was hard, dirty work and the pay wasn’t great either. On the positive side, I was in a really busy kitchen where the top chefs were highly skilled and during my breaks I could watch and learn.
W: Those days are behind you now, aren’t they
M: Yes, these days I’m a head chef, so I’m responsible for organizing the kitchen. This includes preparing the menus, selecting and training staff and keeping the kitchen in good working order. And now I don’t have to cook every day, but can choose to do it when I really want to.
W: What advice would you give to anyone thinking of becoming a chef
M: You must be prepared to deal with stressful situations. And you have to be able to think quickly — if the fish you wanted to use for your main dish doesn’t arrive, you’ve got to invent something different. People think that preparing food in a first-class restaurant is a complicated and difficult thing to do. This is partly true. But the key to success is to buy the best and the freshest food available and keep things simple.

【答案】17. C 18. C 19. B 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: Hey, welcome to today’s talk! I’m Emma Davis, an AI enthusiast who’s been exploring this since finishing at MIT. I’m excited to share my passion for the incredible world of artificial intelligence, or AI.
I’ll kick things off with an awesome story from 2015, in Silicon Valley. Our project was called “Project Skylark” and with Dr. Jack Thompson, a Cornell University bird expert. We wanted to teach a machine to recognize different birds.
It was amazing. “Avis”, the AI system, learnt to improve its accuracy over time. In six months, it could identify bird species better than human experts! This showed the incredible potential of AI!
It’s come a long way since the 1950s with Alan Turing’s ideas. Modern systems can analyze data, spot patterns, and make decisions on their own. This power has opened up endless possibilities in areas like healthcare, finance, and transportation.
One inspiring example comes from Dr. Alice Chen, who in 2018 led a team at Stanford University to develop the computer program “MediScan” that analyzes images and detects early signs of diseases like cancer. MediScan’s accuracy and speed massively surpassed human capabilities, saving thousands of lives.
However, it has its challenges and risks. A 2020 report showed concern of AI taking jobs and affecting economy. I love AI but there’s tough conversations about balancing progress, job security, privacy and security as systems get better. Together, we can create a future where AI helps us achieve our wildest dreams.

Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike, they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
24. What do the underlined words “a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A gifted person. B. A famous student.
C. A brilliant biologist. D. A successful businessman.
25. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon
A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded man.
C. He is a popular child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people.
26. How did Mark and Melissa discover Mike’s high intelligence
A. Through a recommendation from a child psychologist.
B. Through observing Mike’s behavior in preschool.
C. Through participating in a special educational program.
D. Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.
27. What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills
A. Teach him some communication rules. B. Encourage him to speak in class.
C. Place him in social situations. D. Let him go to school alone.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. (《小谢尔顿》是一部关于一个天才少年的电视节目，他是一个宅在家里的男孩，缺乏社交能力)”可知，《小谢尔顿》这部剧中的天才少年宅在家里，缺乏社交能力。由此可知，他不善于与人打交道。故选D项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. (Mark和Melissa在孩子上幼儿园的时候就开始了解他的智商了。一位儿童心理学家告诉他们，他们的儿子需要一个不同的处理方式来支持他的快速发展)”可知，通过一位儿童心理学家的建议，Mark和Melissa发现了Mike的高智商。故选A项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Melissa所说的话“We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment (当他三四岁的时候，我们让他从服务员那里点餐，并向人们介绍自己。做这些事情是为了鼓励他和其他人交流，让他更愿意和我们环境之外的人交流)”可知，Mike的父母让他置身社交场合中，鼓励他和其他人交流，从而提高他的社交技能。故选C项。
C
Today’s Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders (植物育种家) for the change. Modern breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glucosinolates. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances (推荐量) of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.”
28. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A. To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B. To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts.
C. To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts.
D. To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts.
29. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Profited B. Emerged. C. Survived. D. Succeeded.
30. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming.
B. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need no further improvement.
C. Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology.
31. Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Harry Klee
A. Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits.
B. Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people.
C. Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits.
D. Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了科学家通过育种来让孢子甘蓝变得没那么苦，这一成功主要是因为基因技术的发达，一些公司开始使用这些工具来应对开发更美味蔬菜的挑战。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish. (然后，他们将这些美味但产量低植物与产量高的个体杂交，直到找到一种能长出大量美味嫩芽的品种，把这种蔬菜从一颗苦药丸变成了一道受欢迎的菜)”可推知，植物育种家种植老球孢子甘蓝种子是为了寻找不那么苦的孢子甘蓝。故选B。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish. (然后，他们将这些美味但产量低的植物与产量高的个体杂交，直到找到一种能长出大量美味嫩芽的品种，把这种蔬菜从一颗苦药丸变成了一道受欢迎的菜)”以及划线词后文“That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored. (这是因为大多数育种决定都有利于蔬菜种植者的植物性状，而不是吃蔬菜的人。例如，抗病性可能是目前大多数育种计划的主要焦点，因为这阻碍了农民种植作物。蔬菜的味道被忽略了)”结合but表示转折，可推知，上文提到种植老球芽甘蓝种子是为了寻找不那么苦的抱子甘蓝，后文则说蔬菜的味道被忽略了可知其他的蔬菜没有成功。故划线词意思是“成功”。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University. (然而，人们现在开始对蔬菜的味道感兴趣，这在一定程度上要归功于新的基因技术，如基因剪切技术CRISPR和DNA测序，这些技术足够便宜，可以广泛使用。康奈尔大学的苹果育种专家苏珊 布朗表示：“现在是水果育种或蔬菜育种的最佳时机，因为我们有更多的工具和技术。”)”可推知，苏珊·布朗的话表明水果和蔬菜育种技术正在蓬勃发展。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段““Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.” (“不要浪费时间谈论如何教育人们吃得更好，”专门研究番茄育种的教授Harry Klee说。“只要给他们提供味道更好、他们想吃的产品就行了。”)”可知，根据Harry Klee的说法，让人们多吃水果和蔬菜的最好方法是提高蔬菜和水果的味道。故选A。
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and connect those facts meaningfully.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify connections between the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge to explaining the biological phenomena. These findings highlight that a big gap remains between what students learn in their science courses and how well prepared they are to apply that information.
The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (科学素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
32. What does the existing science education fail to do according to the research
A. Extend students’ theoretical knowledge.
B. Engage students in more outdoor activities.
C. Encourage students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Teach students to make connections among different subjects.
33. What can we learn about the student interviewees
A. They have rich academic knowledge. B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science. D. They fully understand their major’s importance.
34. The activity about ocean acidification expects students to _______________.
A. analyse the exact composition of sea water.
B. study some unusual phenomena under the sea.
C. come up with practical methods to protect sea life.
D. explain the effects of carbon dioxide on sea creatures.
35. What does the author see from the result of the study
A. The need to remove the unfairness in education.
B. The difficulties of cross-disciplinary study.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了根据研究，现有的科学教育没有做到教学生在不同学科之间建立联系，文章介绍了一项关于学生学到的知识与应用之间的研究以及研究的结果。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts.The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and connect those facts meaningfully. (研究表明，大多数大学理科课程对基本科学概念只提供给学生零散的理解。这种教学方法提高了对单独事实的记忆，从教科书的一个章节跳到下一个章节，而不必建立它们之间的联系，而不是学习如何使用信息并有意义地将这些事实联系起来)”结合下文“With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena.(考虑到这一点，我们开展了一系列跨学科活动。在我们最近的研究中，我们调查了大学生如何很好地利用他们的化学知识来解释现实世界的生物现象。)”可知，根据研究，现有的科学教育没有做到教学生在不同学科之间建立联系。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. (首先，我们采访了28名理工科的大一学生。所有人都学过化学和生物入门课程)”可知，学生受访者有丰富的学术知识。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters. (其中一项活动探讨了海洋酸化对贝壳的影响。在这里，学生们被要求用基本的化学概念来解释海水中二氧化碳含量的增加是如何影响珊瑚、蛤蜊和牡蛎等造壳海洋动物的)”可知，海洋酸化的活动要求学生解释二氧化碳对海洋生物的影响。故选D。
【35题详解】

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. ______36______ It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example.
A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). _______37_______
These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. ______38______ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.
______39______ Why Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life.
But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life ______40______ You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person.
A. Negative emotions do the opposite.
B. However, the skills themselves live on.
C. But many of us look at things negatively.
D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability.
E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable.
F. In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills.
G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick.
【答案】36. D 37. F 38. B 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了积极情绪对身心所带来的好处，并呼吁人们在制定日常生活计划时，应该考虑一下放松的时间。
【36题详解】
上文“The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal.(在几分钟的良好情绪恢复正常后，积极情绪的好处永远不会停止)”说明积极情绪会有持久的好处，以及下文“It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life.(它将有助于培养技能和开发资源，供日后使用)”说明积极情绪可以有助于培养技能，D项“最大的好处是提高了能力”承接上文，并引出下文内容，符合题意。故选D。
37题详解】
上文“A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills).(孩子在外面跑来跑去，在树枝上荡来荡去，和朋友一起玩，培养运动能力（身体技能），与他人玩耍和与团队沟通的能力（社交技能），以及探索和审视周围世界的能力（创造性技能）)”说明孩子在外面玩可以培养各种不同的能力和有价值的技能，F项中skills是关键词，F项“通过这种方式，积极的情绪有助于培养有价值的技能。”承接上文，符合题意。故选F。
【38题详解】
上文“The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended.(促进新技能探索和创造的快乐早已结束)”说明促进技能的积极情绪没有了，B项“然而，这些技能本身仍然存在。”说明技能仍然存在，与上文形成转折关系，符合本段主旨“These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them.(这些技能比引发它们的情绪持续的时间长得多)”题意。故选B。
【39题详解】
上文“Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.(研究人员称之为“拓宽和构建”理论，因为积极的情绪拓宽了你对可能性的感知，打开了你的思维，这反过来又让你能够培养新的技能和资源，为你生活的其他领域提供价值)”以及下文“Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). (因为当存在直接威胁或危险（比如路上的老虎）时，培养未来使用的技能是无关紧要的)”说明积极情绪与消极情绪形成对比，消极情绪的作用是相反的，A项“消极情绪的作用恰恰相反。”承上启下，符合题意。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life (但是你怎样才能让自己在生活中变得积极呢？)”提出问题，G项“任何唤起快乐、满足和爱的感觉都会奏效。”说明让自己在生活中变得积极的方法，回答上文的问题，符合题意。故选G。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking on the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Washington, D.C. was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (美食广场) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use ” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
My neighbor was the only one taking action.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food from the food court.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly pulling aside his miracle meal, my neighbor leaped up and guided the elderly man to share the seat. Numb with cold, the old man didn’t expected the invitation, moving clumsily. Hardly had he seated himself, my neighbor tenderly put his down jacket over the older man’s shoulders, slipping his arms into sleeves. Finally, he said “Can you help me out ” pointing to the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in the stranger’s hands. Seeing this, my head and heart stopped battling and I had my decision.
Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food from the food court. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. With regret, I felt obliged to do the same. Respectfully and cautiously, I approached them with steaming soup and sandwich. People around cast an approving smile in my direction. “Can you help me out ” I asked. “Why not ” he added jokingly, “But only if you go halfway with me on that sandwich, which is too much for a man my age.” It wasn’t until that day that I truly learned the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station feeling warmer than I had ever thought possible.

Parents often think that their kids should be good at studies and do well in sports. That’s usually the case because parents feel that could get their children admission to top colleges. However, Melissa and Mark Wimmer think differently.
Their 14-year-old son, Mike, is a prodigy. He is a member of Mensa, which is the world’s top IQ club. He completed his high school, associate’s and bachelor’s degrees all in three years. That’s not all. He also ran two tech companies, founded a third one that works towards controlling the population of lionfish, an invasive (入侵的) species.
But the parents are proud that they were able to help Mike with his social skills along with his intellectual skills. Melissa told CNBC that people expected “Young Sheldon” before they met her son. Young Sheldon is a television show about a child talent who is an indoor man and lacks social skills. “But once they talk to Mike they understand that he’s just a normal 14-year-old that happens to be able to do amazing things,” said Melissa.
Mark and Melissa got to know about their child’s intelligence when he entered preschool. A child psychologist told them that their son would need a different course to support his fast-track development. Many parents aren’t comfortable with putting their children with 18-year-olds, but Mike’s parents saw the value in letting their child go through it. “I wanted him to be social and be able to deal with all the different personalities in the classrooms with older children,” said Melissa.
The parents shared that they were able to do this by letting Mike find his own voice and put it to use. “We let him order food when he’s 3 or 4 from the waiter or waitress and introduce himself to people. Those kinds of things are done to encourage him to engage with everyone else and be more comfortable talking to others outside of our environment,” said Melissa.
Thanks to his parents, Mike has learned to get along with young and old alike.
24. What do the underlined words “a prodigy” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. A gifted person. B. A famous student.
C. A brilliant biologist. D. A successful businessman.
25. What can we infer about the child in the show Young Sheldon
A. He likes to make friends. B. He is a well-rounded man.
C. He is a popular child actor. D. He is poor at dealing with people.
26. How did Mark and Melissa discover Mike’s high intelligence
A. Through a recommendation from a child psychologist.
B. Through observing Mike’s behavior in preschool.
C. Through participating in a special educational program.
D. Through the information provided by Mike’s school teachers.
27. What do Mike’s parents do to improve his social skills
A. Teach him some communication rules. B. Encourage him to speak in class.
C. Place him in social situations. D. Let him go to school alone.
C
Today’s Brussels sprouts (孢子甘蓝) taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders (植物育种家) for the change. Modern breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts’ reinvention.
In the late 1990s scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields (产量), to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven’t fared as well. That’s because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. “There’s never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,” says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glucosinolates. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances (推荐量) of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. “Don’t waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,” said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. “Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.”
28. Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A. To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B. To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts.
C. To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts.
D. To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts.
29. What does the underlined word “fared” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Profited B. Emerged. C. Survived. D. Succeeded.
30. What can we learn from Susan Brown’s words in paragraph 4
A. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming.
B. Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need no further improvement.
C Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species.
D. Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology.
31. Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Harry Klee
A. Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits.
B. Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people.
C. Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits.
D. Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits.
D
Despite all the efforts students make to graduate with a science major, research has shown that most college science courses provide students with only a fragmented (碎片化的) understanding of fundamental scientific concepts. The teaching method improves memorization of separate facts, proceeding from one textbook chapter to the next without necessarily making connections between them, instead of learning how to use the information and connect those facts meaningfully.
With that in mind, we developed a series of cross-disciplinary (跨学科的) activities. In our most recent study, we investigated how well college students could use their chemistry knowledge to explain real-world biological phenomena. To begin with, we interviewed 28 first-year college students majoring in sciences or engineering. All had taken both introductory chemistry and biology courses. We asked them to identify connections between the content of these courses and what they believed to be the take-home messages from each course. The students responded with extensive lists of topics, concepts, and skills that they’d learned in class.
Following that, a set of cross-disciplinary activities were designed to guide students in the use of core chemistry ideas and knowledge to help explain real-world biological phenomena. One activity explored the impacts of ocean acidification on seashells. Here, the students were asked to use basic chemistry ideas to explain how the increasing level of carbon dioxide in sea water is affecting shell-building marine animals such as corals, clams and oysters.
Overall, the students felt confident of their chemistry knowledge. However, they had a harder time applying the same chemistry knowledge to explaining the biological phenomena. These findings highlight that a big gap remains between what students learn in their science courses and how well prepared they are to apply that information.
The students in our study also reported that these activities helped them see links between the two disciplines that they wouldn’t have perceived otherwise. The ability to make these connections is important beyond the classroom as well, because it’s the basis of science literacy (科学素养). So we also came away with evidence that our chemistry students at least would like to have the ability to have a deeper understanding of science and how to apply it.
32. What does the existing science education fail to do according to the research
A. Extend students’ theoretical knowledge.
B. Engage students in more outdoor activities.
C. Encourage students to enjoy the learning process.
D. Teach students to make connections among different subjects.
33. What can we learn about the student interviewees
A. They have rich academic knowledge. B. They pay little attention to biology courses.
C. They hardly identify the core ideas of science. D. They fully understand their major’s importance.
34. The activity about ocean acidification expects students to _______________.
A. analyse the exact composition of sea water.
B. study some unusual phenomena under the sea.
C. come up with practical methods to protect sea life.
D. explain the effects of carbon dioxide on sea creatures.
35. What does the author see from the result of the study
A. The need to remove the unfairness in education.
B. The difficulties of cross-disciplinary study.
C. The potential to promote students’ science literacy.
D. The method of increasing students’ practical skills.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The benefits of positive emotions never stop after a few minutes of good feelings go back to normal. ______36______ It will serve to build skills and develop resources for use later in life. Let’s consider a real world example.
A child who runs around outside, swinging on branches and playing with friends, develops the ability to move athletically (physical skills), the ability to play with others and communicate with a team (social skills), and the ability to explore and examine the world around them (creative skills). _______37_______
These skills last much longer than the emotions that initiated them. Years later, that foundation of athletic movement might develop into a scholarship as a college athlete or the communication skills may turn into a job offer as a business manager. The happiness that promoted the exploration and creation of new skills has long since ended. ______38______ Researchers refer to this as the “broaden and build” theory because positive emotions broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind, which in turn allows you to build new skills and resources that can provide value in other areas of your life.
______39______ Why Because building skills for future use is irrelevant when there is immediate threat or danger (like the tiger on the path). All of this research boils down to the fact that positive thinking is so useful for developing valuable skills and appreciating the Big Picture of life.
But how can you get yourself to be positive in your life ______40______ You probably know what things work well for you. Maybe it’s playing the guitar. Maybe it’s spending time with a certain person.
A. Negative emotions do the opposite.
B. However, the skills themselves live on.
C But many of us look at things negatively.
D. The biggest benefit is an improved ability.
E. That is why the “broaden and build” theory is valuable.
F. In this way, positive emotions help to build valuable skills.
G. Anything arousing feelings of joy, contentment, and love will do the trick.

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking on the street, the bitter cold of a December day in Washington, D.C. was ruining my mood. The temperature was below zero so I ducked into the subway station, hoping to get warm.
Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (美食广场) was tempting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for a handout (施舍). But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him.
While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use ” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune.
He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped.
The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, hatless and gloveless. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
My neighbor was the only one taking action.

Tears blurred my vision when I went to buy food from the food court.
