“Thisisgoingtosoundsowild...butIthinkyou’remybrother,”KieronwroteonFacebook’sMessengerapp.“Iwasgivenupforadoptionin1997anditsaysonmypaperworkthatmymotherhasasonwithyournameandyourbirthdate.HernameisShawn.”

“Thisiscrazy,”saidVincent.

Thecrazinesswasjustbeginning.Astheytalked,thebrothersrealizedtheylivedabout20minutesfromeachother.Moresurprisingly,theyattendedthesameuniversityandmajoredandminoredinthesamesubjects:politicalscienceandlegalstudies.

VincentwasninewhenKieronwasbornandrememberscaringforhisbabybrother.Buttimesweretough,andShawn,whoworked15-plushoursadayasanurse,decidedthatplacingKieronforadoptionwouldgivehimthebestchancetosucceed.

“Shewasveryemotionalaboutthattime,tothepointwhereitwashardforhertoputintowordsanythingaboutwhathappened,”Vincentsays.

D.TheBondBetweenKieronGrahamandHisBrother

【答案】24.B25.C26.D27.B

【解析】

【导语】本文是记叙文，文章主要介绍了一对分开多年的兄弟重聚的故事。

【24题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ThatchangedinDecember2023，whenKieron’sadoptiveparentsgavehimanAncestryDNAtestasaChristmasgift.(这种情况在2023年12月发生了变化，当时Kieron的养父母给了他一个祖先DNA作为圣诞礼物。)”和“Mostweredistantconnections,butonematchwassostrongthatitwaslabeled“closefamily.”HisnamewasVincentGhant.(“但有一场比赛是如此强大，以至于它被贴上了“亲密家庭”的标签。他的名字叫文森特·甘特”)”可知对兄弟俩贡献最大的是对祖先的DNA，故选B项。

【25题详解】

推理判断题。根据第六段“VincentwasninewhenKieronwasbornandrememberscaringforhisbabybrother.Buttimesweretough,andShawn,whoworked15-plushoursadayasanurse,decidedthatplacingKieronforadoptionwouldgivehimthebestchancetosucceed.(基隆出生时文森特九岁，记得照顾他的小弟弟。但日子很艰难，每天做护士15个多小时的肖恩决定，让基隆收养会给他最好的成功机会。)”可知A项和B项错误；根据文章倒数第二段“OneofVincent’sconcernswasthatKieronmightresenthisbirthfamilyforplacinghimforadoption.HewasrelievedKierondidn’t，andthathe’dgrownupinalovingfamily.(文森特担心的一个问题是，基隆可能会怨恨他的出生家庭将他收养。他松了一口气，基隆没有，他在一个充满爱的家庭中长大。)”可知，他哥哥担心Kieron会怨恨他的出生家庭，但事实上并没有，他在一个爱他的收养家庭中长大。文章并未提及Kieron决定回到出生家庭，故D项错误；根据第六段“Buttimesweretough,andShawn,whoworked15-plushoursadayasanurse,decidedthatplacingKieronforadoptionwouldgivehimthebestchancetosucceed.(但日子很艰难，每天做护士15个多小时的肖恩决定，让基隆收养会给他最好的成功机会。)”可知为了他的未来，他被收养。故选C项。

【26题详解】

推理判断题。根据第九段“OneofVincent’sconcernswasthatKieronmightresenthisbirthfamilyforplacinghimforadoption.HewasrelievedKierondidn’t,andthathe’dgrownupinalovingfamily.(文森特担心的一个问题是，基隆可能会怨恨他的出生家庭将他送去收养。他松了一口气，基隆没有，他在一个充满爱的家庭中长大。)”可知，Vincent担心Kieron会怨恨他的出生家庭，但事实上并没有，他在一个爱他的收养家庭中长大，但原文并未明确提及Kieron对出生家庭有喜爱的态度，故选D项。

【27题详解】

主旨大意题。本文讲述了一对分开多年的兄弟重聚的故事。文章前半部分主要讲Kieron如何通过基因检测和Facebook找到了他的哥哥Vincent，后半部分讲述了他们重聚之后的往来，以及迅速建立感情，故选B项。

C

【答案】28.C29.A30.D31.A

【解析】

【导语】本文是说明文，主要探讨了和拖延症一样严重的另一种症状——提前症。文章主要说明了提前症的定义、症状以及解决办法。

【28题详解】

推理判断题。由第一段中的“Pre-crastinationreferstothedesiretodothingsimmediately,butonlytoalleviatetheanxietysurroundingleavingaparticulartaskundone.(提前症是指渴望立即做事情，但只是为了缓解因某项特定任务未完成而产生的焦虑)”和第二段中的“Inyourhurrytogettheunreademailoutofyourinbox,youmakeabunchofspellingandgrammarerrorsinyourresponsebecauseyoutypeditoutsoquickly.Thatwouldbeanexampleofpre-crastination.(在你急于将未读电子邮件从收件箱中取出的过程中，你在回复中犯了很多拼写和语法错误，因为你打字太快了。这将是提前症的一个例子)”可知，从文章第一段和第二段对提前症的定义及症状的描述，患有提前症的人急于完成任务，不会去检查可能会犯的错。故选C项。

【29题详解】

推理判断题。由第一段中的“Pre-crastinationreferstothedesiretodothingsimmediately,butonlytoalleviatetheanxietysurroundingleavingaparticulartaskundone.(提前症是指渴望立即做事情，但只是为了缓解因某项特定任务未完成而产生的焦虑)”和第二段中的“Inyourhurrytogettheunreademailoutofyourinbox,youmakeabunchofspellingandgrammarerrorsinyourresponsebecauseyoutypeditoutsoquickly.Thatwouldbeanexampleofpre-crastination.(在你急于将未读电子邮件从收件箱中取出的过程中，你在回复中犯了很多拼写和语法错误，因为你打字太快了。这将是提前症的一个例子)”可知，从文章第一段和第二段对提前症的定义及症状的描述，特别是第一段最后一句话里的“anxiety”可以推断出，患有提前症的人急于完成任务，因此他们是焦虑且缺乏耐心的。故选A项。

【30题详解】

词句猜测题。由第二段中的“IjustthoughtIwasprioritizing,butInowknowthatthisisanexampleofpre-crastinatingtheeasytasksjustsoIcouldsayIgotthemdone,whilesimultaneouslyprocrastinatingthemoretedioustasksIleftatthebottomofmylist.(我只是觉得我在优先考虑，但我现在知道，这是一个提前完成简单任务的例子，这样我就可以说我完成了这些任务，然而同时又拖延了我留在清单底部的tedious任务)”可知，“while”和“simultaneously”这两个单词为逻辑信号词，患有提前症的人通常会急于完成简单的任务，而拖延更加困难的任务，可得出画线词意为“困难的（Tough）”。故选D项。

【31题详解】

细节理解题。由第一段中的“ButwhatifItoldyouthattheoppositeofprocrastination,aphenomenoncalledpre-crastination,couldbejustasbad(但是，如果我告诉你，拖延症的反面，一种被称为提前症的现象，也可能同样糟糕呢？)”可知，提前症和拖延症一样严重。故选A项。
