two

weeks”;Punctuality

Award是“across

the

includes

a

and

pen,with

a

going

B.Anewsreport.C.Atravelleaflet. D.Abookreview.答案

A解析

推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Listed

below

the

ways

the

school

success

with

students,parents

and

staff

during

the

academic

year.”可知,文章介绍的是West

Exe

School的几个奖项,所以文章应该来自学校网站。B(2024山东泰安二模)It’sbeennearlysevenyearssinceagroupofvolunteersbrokegroundatWhatCheerFlowerFarminProvidence,RhodeIsland,withasimplegoal:getflowersintothehandsofanyoneinneedofapick-me-up.Bestofall,eachoneofthetensofthousandsofbouquetsthatWhatCheergrowsanddeliversarecompletelyfreeofcharge.“Wewanttoblanketthestatewithflowersandcreatehappinessandjoy,”saysErinAchenbach,WhatCheer’sfarmerandheadflorist.WhatCheerregularlydeliversjoytopeopleatlocalhospitals,foodbanks,seniorcenters,recoverycentersandmore—includingAIDSCareOceanState,whichprovidessupporttothoseaffectedbyHIV.“Seeingthesmilesonpeople’sfaceswhoweren’texpectingit—whojustcameintohaveameetingwiththeircasemanagerortakeadvantageofoneofourprograms—tojustseethisglowcomeofftheirfacesisgreat,”saysStephenHoganJr.fromAIDSCareOceanState.LocatedinProvidence’sindustrialOlneyvilleneighborhood,WhatCheer’sflowerbedslieon2.7acresthatoncehousedaknifefactory.Andit’ssafetosaythattheWhatCheercrewisdeservingofsomeflowersoftheirown:InMay,thenonprofitwasawardedarecord-high$500,000grantfromtheEnvironmentalProtectionAgencyforitscontinuedrevivalofalandonceabandonedbecauseofindustrialpollution.“Notonlydowegivethisspacebacktotheneighborhoodbybringinglifetospacethat’squiteliterallydead,”saysAchenbach,“butwe’reaneco-landingspotwiththeabilitytohelplocalinsectandbirdpopulations,andthat’llonlymakepeople’slivesbetter.”Whatcheer,indeed!“What’sgoodaboutafloweristhatitdoesn’tneedanythingelse,”sheadds.“Youronlyjobwhensomeonegivesyouflowersistoenjoythem.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一群志愿者在罗德岛的What

Cheer最初的目的是向需要的人免费赠送鲜花。5.WhycouldWhatCheerobtainahighgrant?A.Itrankedasthelocallargestflowerbed.B.Ithelpedpatientsrecoverfromillnesses.C.Itdeliveredremarkablejoytolocalpeople.D.Itwastransformedintoaneco-friendlyarea.答案

D解析

细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“And

it’s

safe

to

say...because

of

industrial

pollution.”可知,What

Cheer能获得高额资助是因为它将一片因工业污染而被废弃的土地转变成了环保区域。6.WhatcanbeinferredfromAchenbach?A.ThesuccessofWhatCheercan’tbecopied.B.WhatCheerimprovesthewell-beingoflocals.C.WhatCheerattemptstoreturnthelandtolocals.D.Enjoyingflowersshouldbeadvocatedeveryday.答案

B解析

推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段内容可知,What

Cheer不仅给社区带来了生机,还成了对当地昆虫和鸟类种群有帮助的生态栖息地,这将使人们的生活变得更好,可以推断出,What

Cheer提高了当地居民的福祉。7.WhichofthefollowingdoestheexperienceofWhatCheerconvey?A.Stillwaterrunsdeep.B.Thinktwicebeforeacting.C.Godhelpthosewhohelpthemselves.D.Therosesinherhand;theflavorinmine.答案

D解析

推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由文章前两段可知,What

Cheer的经历传达了一个信息:通过将废弃的工业用地转变为对环境有益的花田,并为人们带去快乐,它体现了“予人玫瑰,手留余香”的精神。因此,选项D最能体现这种给予奉献的美好寓意。故选D项。C(2024广东广州二模)MyfatherstartedlearningFrenchat57,drawnbythepotentialbenefitsofbilingualism(双语能力)indelayingdementia(失智症).Now,20yearslater,he’sonhisthirdteacher.Manypeoplelikemyfatherhaveattemptedtopickupanewlanguage.Butcanthisreallyboostbrainhealth?Accordingtoexperts,regularlyusinganewlanguagebringscognitive(认知)benefits.Ifyou’retryingtorecalltherightwordsinanotherlanguage,yourbrainisforcedtoinhibityourmothertongue.Thisprocess,calledcognitiveinhibition,helpsimproveyourbrainfunction.Repeatingthisprocessmakesyourbrainmoreresistanttodiseaseslikedementia.Themoreyouchallengeyourbrain,thebetteritfunctions,evenifyourbrainhealthstartstodecline.However,evidenceforthebenefitsoflearningasecondlanguageinyour60sisweaker.ResearchbyDr.LeoAntonioufoundthatolderItalianswhotookEnglishlessonsforfourmonthsdidn’tseeanydifferenceintheircognitionscores,butpeoplewhodidn’tsawtheirscoresdecline.Prof.DianaSmith’s2023studiesfoundsimilarresults.Researchersofferedafewpotentialexplanationsfortheirdisappointingresults.Oneisthattheparticipantswerehighlymotivatedvolunteers,probablyofhighcognitivelevelfortheirage,makingithardtoseeanyimprovements.“Whenchoosingparticipants,wehavetobecareful,aretheyreallyrepresentativeofthepopulation?”saidDr.JudithWare.Anotheristhatthelanguageinterventionswereperhapstooshort.Thesestudieshaveusedlanguagelessonsthat“wereverydifferentintheirlengthandfrequency,”saidProf.LauraGrossman.ToDr.Antoniou,thelimitedfindingsarenotentirelysurprising.Noonewouldsaythatlearninganewlanguageforsixmonthswouldbethesameashavingusedtwolanguagesforyourentirelife.Buthedoesthinkthatlanguagelessonscanprovidecognitivebenefitsbybeingcognitivelystimulating.Perhapsmoreimportant,Prof.Grossmansaid,learninganotherlanguageoffersotherpotentialadvantages,liketravelingorconnectingwithnewcommunities.Myfather,forexample,hasremainedpenfriendswithhisfirstteacherandtraveledtoFrancenumeroustimes.Andat76,he’sassharpasever.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了学习新语言是否能提高大脑健康,尤其是对于年纪较大的人来说,是否能延缓失智症的发生。8.Whathappensintheprocessof“cognitiveinhibition”?A.Memoryimproves.B.Brainhealthworsens.C.Dementiaiscured.D.Nativelanguageisheldback.答案

D解析

细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“If

you’re

trying

to...called

cognitive

inhibition,helps

improve

your

brain

function.”可知,认知抑制的过程中,母语被抑制。9.Whichisapossibleexplanationforthedisappointingresearchresults?A.Thepoorchoiceofresearchparticipants.B.Thegreatlengthofthelanguagecourse.C.Theinterventionofthefirstlanguage.D.Theagedifferenceoftheresearchsubjects.答案

A解析

细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“One

is

that...making

it

hard

to

see

any

improvements.”可知,研究结果不尽人意的一个可能的解释是研究参与者的选择不佳。10.Whoseopiniondoestheauthorsupportbymentioninghisfather’sexperience?A.LeoAntoniou’s.B.DianaSmith’s.C.LauraGrossman’s.D.JudithWare’s.答案

C解析

推理判断题。根据文章第六段尾句和第七段内容可知,作者通过提到他父亲的经历来支持Laura

Grossman的观点,即学习另一种语言提供了其他潜在的优势,如旅行或与新的社区建立联系。11.Whichofthefollowingisasuitabletitleforthetext?A.Isitnevertoolatetolearnanewlanguage?B.Canlearninganewlanguagedelaydementia?C.Whydoesmyfatherstartlearninganewlanguage?D.Howdoeslearninganewlanguagebenefitagingbrain?答案

B解析

标题归纳题。根据第一段的“My

father

started

learning

French

at

57,drawn

by

the

potential

benefits

of

bilingualism(双语能力)

in

delaying

dementia(失智症).”以及“But

can

really

boost

brain

health?”可知,短文的最佳标题为“学习一门新语言能延缓失智症吗?”。D(2024山东潍坊二模)IhadtosaysomethingafterreadingThe

Anxious

Generation?A.Scarystoriesaffectchildren’sbrains.B.Parentsareresponsibleforchildren’shealth.C.Teen’smentalillnessresultsfromscreentime.D.Theepidemicofmentalillnessisunavoidable.答案

C解析

细节理解题。根据第一段中“However,the

book’s

repeated

suggestion...mental

illness

is

unsupported

by

science.”可知,该书重复暗示数字技术正在重构我们孩子的大脑,并导致精神健康问题的流行。C项与该描述相一致。故选C项。13.Whatdoes“thesamemessage”underlinedinparagraph3referto?A.Manycountriesdoresearchinmentalhealth.B.Well-beingandsocialmediaarecloselyrelated.C.Theyoungaretrappedinthemental-healthcrisis.D.Socialmediadon’tnecessarilycausementalillness.答案

D解析

词句猜测题。根据画线词前面一段中的内容“When

associations

over

time

are

found...or

in

different

ways

from

their

healthy

peers.”以及画线词后面的内容“An

analysis

done

in

72

countries

shows

no

consistent

or

measurable

associations

between

well-being

and

social

media

globally.”可知,“同样的信息”指的是社交媒体并不一定导致心理健康问题。通过在72个国家进行的一项分析显示,在全球范围内,幸福感和社交媒体之间没有一致的或可衡量的联系。故画线词指代的是社交媒体的使用与心理健康之间无必然联系。14.Whatisimpliedinthelastparagraph?A.Effectiveactionsneedtobetaken.B.Positivestoriesshouldbeshared.C.Financialsupportneedstobeprovided.D.Broaderresearchshouldbedone.答案

A解析

推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We

have

a

generation

in

crisis...support

young

people

who

need,and

deserve,more.”可知,对于年轻人的心理健康问题,我们正在浪费时间讲述没有研究支持的故事,而这些故事对需要帮助的年轻人并没有帮助,这暗示我们需要采取有效的行动来解决这个问题。15.Whatistheauthor’spurposeinwritingthetext?A.Tosuggestwaystohelpthoseinneed.B.Toencourageparentstobravethecrisis.C.Torecommendanewly-publishedbook.D.Togiveavoicetochildren’smentalissues.答案

D解析

推理判断题。根据第一段中“I

had

to

say

something...causing

the

epidemic(流行病)

of

mental

illness

is

unsupported

by

science.”和最后一段中“Unfortunately,our

time

is

being...who

need,and

deserve,more.”以及通读全文可知,整篇文章都在批评一本书的观点,并强调需要科学和证据支持的解决方案,而不应该把时间浪费在没有科学研究支持的结论中,由此表明作者的目的是引导人们对儿童心理健康问题以及真正引发该问题的原因进行关注和理解。D项“To

give

a

voice

to

children’s

mental

issues.”符合作者的目的。Ⅱ.七选五(2024江西景德镇三模)Afewyearsago,thescientistsClaudiaTownsendattheUniversityofMiamiandSuzanneShuatUCLAAndersonSchoolofManagementconductedasimpleinvestigationintohowaesthetics(美学)influencesourinvestmentdecisions.Theyrandomlyassigned255studentstoreceiveanannualcorporatereport.Oneofthesereportswasaestheticallypleasing—
