1、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Memories are funny, aren't they? You can be going along, minding your business, and then, all of a sudden, a memory pops into your head. Sometimes memories are triggered (触发) by a song that reminds you of the setting where you first heard it. Or it may be a smell that makes you think of a delicious meal with your friends or family. Perhaps hearing kids arguing makes you remember an unhappy situation with childhood friends. These spontaneous(自发的) memories can he "sweet," or they might be "sour." Did you ever wonder what's going on in your brain that makes your memories produce positive or negative emotions?
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biologica Studies in California have made a discovery that could help to uncover this secret. The explanation is a bit technical (for those of us who are not brain scientists), but basically it all focuses on a single molecule(分子)called neurotensin(神经降压素). Our surrounding environment is constantly presenting our brain with stimuli(刺激). The molecule neurotensin acts as a key indicator of whether an experience is labeled as positive or negative, depending on the nature of the stimuli. Our brain subsequently associates similar stimuli with the pleasant or painful memory that we experienced.
The study by the Salk Institute was published in the journal Nature. The focus of their experiments was the brain circuitry of laboratory mice. After a sound was played, the mice received either a pleasant swallow of sugary water or, an unpleasant electrical shock or puff of air. The researchers discovered that neurotensin was the signal that associated the sound with reward or with punishment When the gene(基因) that regulates neurotensin was removed from the mice's brains, they had more difficulty connecting the sound with the sugary water. However, the negative responses were enhanced.
Understanding how neurons in the brain respond to neurotensin could have influences on one's mental health. Addictions may be caused by overly high levels of neurotensin (connected with positive rewards). On the other hand, depression and anxiety can result when decreased levels of neurotensin allow negative. responses to dominate. Thus, regulating neurotensin could. help to maintain mental stability. One other thing: The research study showed that the brain may tend to be a pessimist, focusing on fearful memories that cause negative emotional responses.
Perhaps insights into neurotensin will help us have fewer sour memories and more sweet ones.
(1)、What is the function of neurotensin?A、To provide our brain with stimuli. B、To indicate the category of an experience. C、To focus on the surrounding environment. D、To associate the stimuli with our memory.(2)、What can we learn from the passage?A、Addictions and anxiety may be related to different levels of neurotensin. B、The mice were given both sugary water and an electrical shock after hearing a sound. C、As the gene which controls neurotensin disappeared, the negative responses decreased. D、The brain prefers connecting with fearful memories which produce unexpected emotions.(3)、What is the passage mainly about?A、What happens in our brain to form our memory. B、What the discovery of memory can do for mental health. C、How brain connects our memory with different emotions. D、How we regulate neurotensin to make us have good emotions. -

3、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
Many things come to mind when I think of a great vacation. Impressive scenery and delicious food are certainly on my list. Those two features can't always be found in the same location. However, amazing views and great food are both on the menu at the following three restaurants.
The Rock. Zanzibar
On an enormous stone off the coast of the East African island of Zanzibar sits The Rock. The freshest seafood, much of it straight from the surrounding ocean, is always available here. Fresh lobster, prawns, octopus salad and calamari are just a few of the appetizing dining options. At low tide, customers can walk out to The Rock. As the water rises, though, customers must take a short boat ride to it. Once they arrive, they're greeted by friendly staff and 360-degree views of beautiful blue-green water. The Rock, sometimes called the "floating restaurant," is available for weddings and other small group events.
The Labasin Waterfalls Restaurant, Philippines
Stunning waterfalls sometimes have restaurants at the top. But the Labasin Waterfalls, in San Pablo City, Philippines, are different. A restaurant sits at the bottom of these falls. Guests dine on authentic Filipino meals at bamboo tables that stand right in the water. They cool their feet in the water that flows under their tables. The surrounding jungle makes a perfect background for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
The Grotto, Thailand
The Grotto Restaurant on Thailand's Phra Nang Beach offers delicious food and an incredible dining experience. The restaurant is partly positioned inside a cave and partly on the beach. Guests seated toward the front look out at Happy Island in the lovely Andaman Sea. Those seated at the back enjoy an authentic cave-dining experience. Comfortable tables are arranged inside the cave. International food with a Thai influence is featured.

8、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。
We had moved to a new town for my husband's work. After living here for just a couple of weeks, I was more than ready to pick up my luggage and move back home. I was lonely for a friend. My boy Samuel was lonely. My husband, Lonny, adapted just fine, but he was occupied with work most of the time.
I missed our old neighborhood. It had been like a closely knitted community where neighbors chatted over fences. Newcomers were welcomed with chocolate brownies (巧克力蛋糕) and carrot bread. It had been easy to find friends there.
Our new community was different. It seemed that family roots grew deep. Deep as the Mississippi River that flowed past this tiny river town. Breaking in was tough.
"I'm so alone here," I said to Lonny one evening. Lonny is a good listener, and a problem solver. "What have you done to meet people?" he asked. "I go to the park every day. I even dropped by a book salon (读书沙龙) at the library the other day and came across a nice lady with a boy."
"Sounds not bad," he said. "Did you talk to her?" The answer was no. It wasn't that people here were unkind. I just didn't feel like initiating conversations, and I preferred minding my own business in a new environment.
A few more months passed and winter settled in. It was harder than ever to meet people. I began to feel bitter. I was tired of trying to fit in a place where we didn't belong.
Lonny noticed my low spirits. "Amy, you look unapproachable, with your arms crossed and everything," he whispered in my ear one afternoon. He and I were sitting in the yard. Samuel, our five-year-old was playing baseball next to us.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not going to have friends here." Just then Samuel looked up. He must've heard our whispers. "Mom's right, Dad. We'll never ever have friends here. And we just want to go back to our old home." I sat there and looked at my tiny innocent son. His words mirrored my attitude. And I didn't like the disturbing reflection.

Butter arguably makes everything better—even tea. Yak (牦牛) butter tea, a traditional drink of China's Tibetan ethnic group, is catching on with its (salt) and unexpected flavor.
For Jason, who works at Café Himalaya in New York City, butter in the cup of tea before him ideally comes from a yak. , in New York yak butter is pretty hard to come by, so Jason, as well as anyone who orders it at Café Himalaya, has to make do with butter a cow. Back in Tibet, yak butter is plentiful, yet no one knows exactly when yak butter (add) to hot tea for the first time.
The (introduce) of this hot butter tea to Tibet provided Tibetans with warmth and supplemented their meager (贫乏的) diet. Also known as Tibetan medicine, it is believed to be able to (sharp) one's mind and body. Today it is part of Tibetan hospitality to offer guests butter tea and refill the bowl again and again until it's time for goodbyes—at which point a polite guest will drink up is left.
To non-Tibetans, yak butter may taste strange at first as it makes for a very different taste than the sweet butter (produce) by corn-fed cows. Some of them find it helpful (think) of it as a sort of light soup rather than as tea.

Garcia, a high school senior from Grand Kennedy, has also felt the need to stay constantly 5 . We asked how many texts she sent and received each day. "I don't know… maybe 1,000?" she answered. "It's too many to 6 ."
Dr. Dowdell, at Villanova University, says that many people expect to be able to 7 anyone at any time. "It's very 8 , especially to a high school student. But it reduces the time that could be spent studying, exercising, or just relaxing. Another 9 is, there's no downtime." And people need to 10 —especially when we have so much to do.
So we decided to have Kenny and Garcia do an experiment. These were the 11 : No phone for 48 hours. No computer or Internet either.
"Wow, it was completely 12 ," Kenny joked. Though he was sad and missed his friends at times, he 13 "it had benefits." 14 texting, he went to the gym and caught up on schoolwork. Garcia had an even more 15 result. "I loved it!" she said, "I was hanging out with friends and slept better too."

12、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。
Floods can come from multiple sources. It can be a hurricane, failed dam, or overflowing river. The disasters can move quickly. It's important to know how to keep your family and belongings safe during such an event. Full preparation can put you at ease for its coming.
A flood is simply an event where water overflows a natural area and covers normally dry places. In general, there are two types. The soil in these areas can't absorb a lot of moisture. The water then rapidly runs off the surface resulting in a torrent (激流) of rapidly moving water. River flooding is when a river overflows its banks due to excessive (过分的) water and the situation can get worse if barriers such as a dam or levee (防洪堤) break as well.
A flood can be caused by many things. Living next to a river, dam, on the coast, or in a low-lying area puts you at risk for flooding.
There is no specific flood season. Any time there is a large amount of rain in a short period, flooding can occur. Man-made and natural disasters can also cause flooding outside of those months. For example, the collapse of a dam can cause a flood. A natural disaster, such as a tsunami, can also cause flooding on a massive scale.
. Using existing maps and examining low-lying areas can determine high risk areas for flooding. Moreover, flood warnings are sent out to areas that could experience flooding when there is a large amount of rainfall over a short time.
A. The rising river threatens people's lives.
B. Floods can be preventable and predictable.
C. Flash floods are more common in dry areas.
D. And sometimes they come with little warning.
E. The weather forecast accurately predicts all disasters.
F. They include severe weather, geography, and other man-made factors.
G. Generally, the period from spring to fall is considered a heightened risk for floods.

13、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Deepfake: synthetic (合成的) media, including images, videos, and audio, is generated by Al technology to show something that does not exist or events that have never occurred.
Examples of deepfakes have been widely spread, including a video of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg giving a speech about his company's plan, and a video of Elon Musk dancing and talking about the power of dreams, etc.
It's easy for AI to produce such deepfakes using two different deep-learning algorithms (算法): one that creates the best possible clone based on a real image or video and another that detects whether the copy is fake (伪造的) and, if it is, reports on the differences between it and the original. The first algorithm produces a synthetic image and receives feedback on it from the second algorithm and then adjusts it to make it appear more real; the loop is repeated as many times as it takes until the second algorithm does not detect any false imagery.
Deepfakers often have evil motives, including creating misinformation and generating confusion. They tend to demean, terrify, and annoy, and have targeted not only celebrities but ordinary citizens as well.
Most of the academic research surrounding deepfakes focuses on the detection of huge amount of deepfake videos emerging online. One detection approach is to use algorithms to identify inconsistencies in deepfake videos. For example, an automatic system can examine videos for errors such as irregular blinking patterns of lighting. However, these approaches have been criticized because deepfake detection is characterized by a "moving goal post" where the production of deepfakes is changing and improving while detection tools are always on the way of catching them up.
However, education and medicine are two of the fields that may benefit from deepfake technology. In the classroom, historical speeches could be deepfaked to offer immersive and engaging lessons. In health care, it can improve the accuracy with which tumors (肿瘤) are spotted, making them easier to treat. Its use also permits using synthesized data instead of that from real patients to avoid privacy concerns.
(1)、How does AI create a deepfake video according to the passage?A、By copying and combining the fake images. B、By constantly teaching itself to perfect the output. C、By acquiring feedback from multiple sources. D、By repeatedly generating realistic images from scratch.(2)、 What is the challenge of detecting deepfake videos?A、Ever-evolving deepfake techniques. B、Insufficient academic basis on detection solutions. C、A massive number of false videos online. D、Limited availability of detection tools.(3)、 What is the author's attitude toward deepfake?A、Supportive. B、Critical. C、Objective. D、Unconcerned.(4)、 What is probably the best title for the passage?A、Potential threats: AI's new playground B、Deepfake: Human's another helping hand C、Artificial Intelligence: A piece of fake D、Detecting deepfake: An ongoing battle -
14、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
How long does it take you to make a cup of tea? Forty seconds, if you press the tea bag against the side of the mug. I'm not judging—that was me until recently, and we are not alone. Only 4% of people in the UK make their tea from leaves, and it seems the rest of us are missing out.
I've dipped in and out of tea over the years, and have never taken it quite as seriously as coffee, but this long holiday seems as good a time as any to up my game. Previously, I'd been put off by the complexity of the process, but it turns out that a proper cup of tea from leaves doesn't have to require a whole lot of tools. The game-changer for me was tea-ière, which is a bit like a cafetiere (咖啡壶).
So, where to start our new adventure? The obvious answer, particularly this New Year weekend, is China, which is to tea what France is to wine. The country produces every imaginable style, from delicate green tea to refreshing jasmine tea. If you're used to black tea, it's probably best to begin with the rich oolong. And if you're already into tea, prepare yourself for the mind-blowing puerh, which, according to my note, tastes of forest floor with a slight smell of shoe repair shop, and which, you'll be relieved to hear, is a lot nicer than it sounds.
It's worth taking the trouble to get the basics right: the amount of tea, the quantity and temperature of the water, the ideal infusion (浸泡) time and, above all, pouring every last drop of tea from the pot.
And if none of these will drag you away from tea bags, try loose tea leaves at least once infused for two to three minutes and see if you notice a difference. Watching those leaves magically spread out and thinking about what you are drinking is strangely comforting in a bitter winter.
(1)、What can we know about tea drinking in the UK?A、British people take tea less seriously than coffee. B、Most people prefer tea bags to loose tea leaves. C、It takes 40 seconds to prepare a tea bag. D、One might be judged if not using tea bags.(2)、What did the author discover about drinking tea from leaves?A、It takes more effort than drinking coffee. B、It turns out to be tool-free. C、It's fun and entertaining. D、It's easier than anticipated.(3)、How does the author present his idea in paragraph 3?A、By analyzing figures. B、By presenting options. C、By drawing conclusions. D、By describing experiences.(4)、 What could be the most suitable title for the passage?A、Why Not Go For Chinese Tea? B、How To Pick The Right Tea? C、Loose Tea Leaves, Or Tea Bags? D、Fancy A Better Way Of Drinking Tea? -
15、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
An ordinary day in 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby stopped by a Bronx barbershop after school for a haircut. Before long, one of his students came in.
"He is getting antsy; he's kind of looking bored," Irby recalled. "I'm looking at this student (thinking), ‘He should be practicing his reading.' But I didn't have a book." That moment stayed with Irby, and five years later he started Barbershop Books. Since 2013, the nonprofit has brought more than 50,000 free children's books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly Black neighborhoods across the country.
According to Irby, they are putting books in a male-centered space. "Less than 2% of teachers are Black males and many Black boys are raised by single moms. Black boys don't see Black men reading." So, Irby involves the barbers in his mission—training them to engage boys about reading.
"We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces," he said. "Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was, or tell them about another book another kid was reading." Irby believes that talking about books with a Black man can be powerful for the boys he serves. "Our goal is not to turn barbers into tutors," he said. "This is an opportunity to provide boys with male role models."
Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to forego that to help the community. "I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids' minds going," he said. "You want to make an impact."
And that's what keeps Irby motivated. "I'm just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that's really life changing," he said. "That's what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential."
(1)、What inspired Irby to launch the project Barbershop Books?A、His encounter with his student in the barber's. B、His childhood experience in his neighborhood. C、His bad impression on Black men. D、Barbers' enthusiasm and generosity.(2)、 What does Irby intend the barbers to do in the project?A、To collect books for Black boys. B、To set a good example as a behaved citizen. C、To help Black boys comprehend books. D、To draw Black boys to reading.(3)、 What does the underlined word "forego" in paragraph 5 probably mean?A、Give up. B、Build up. C、Give away. D、Open up.(4)、What has contributed to the success of the project?A、Black boys' increased interest in reading. B、New policies concerning barbers' shops. C、Irby's firm belief in the power of reading. D、Effective cooperation between Irby and Denny Moe. -
