閱讀理解

21.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Alive-actionfilmversionwaspublishedin2023.可知這本書2023年被改編成真人版電影。

22.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二和第三本書介紹的最后一句話可知兩本書都涉及到friendship。

23.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句可知RequiredReadingforAllTeenagers為父母提供了一些關(guān)于養(yǎng)育青少年的可靠建議。

24.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的heartbreaking和第三段的sad、crying可知，第一次潛水的經(jīng)歷讓Vidhi非常沮喪。

25.D推理判斷題。由第五段第二句“她看到瀕臨死亡的珊瑚感到失望，于是成立了非營(yíng)利組織——珊瑚勇士組織，旨在提高人們對(duì)海洋保護(hù)和氣候變化的認(rèn)識(shí)。”可推知。

26.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第八段可知候選人回來(lái)后，他們需要參與自己選擇的氣候變化項(xiàng)目，創(chuàng)建社區(qū)，努力提高認(rèn)識(shí)，推動(dòng)以行動(dòng)為中心的項(xiàng)目等可知。

27.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由最后一段Vidhi計(jì)劃用高質(zhì)量的水下圖像和視頻制作紀(jì)錄片，可知Vidhi將會(huì)拍攝紀(jì)錄片。

28.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第一句人們?cè)缇椭来弱牶忘S貂魚不需要數(shù)就能精確地識(shí)別較小的數(shù)字可知。

29.B推理判斷題。由第三段第二句研究人員使用了一種其他研究小組已經(jīng)成功用于測(cè)試蜜蜂數(shù)學(xué)能力的方法去研究金魚如何得到“2+1”或“5-1”的結(jié)果?？芍芯空呓梃b測(cè)試蜜蜂的方法是為了確保研究的可靠性。

30.C推理判斷題。由第三段的研究者向魚展示了一系列幾何形狀，以及不同的顏色，然后觀察魚是否游到正確的圖片，可知研究者是通過(guò)觀察和分析進(jìn)行實(shí)驗(yàn)。

31.C推理判斷題。由最后一段魚能把這些知識(shí)應(yīng)用到新的任務(wù)中嗎他們真的掌握了顏色背后的數(shù)學(xué)法則嗎Schluessel解釋說(shuō):“為了驗(yàn)證這一點(diǎn)，我們將在未來(lái)的訓(xùn)練中故意省略一些計(jì)算?！笨芍?，還需要更多的試驗(yàn)來(lái)證實(shí)新發(fā)現(xiàn)。

32.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段：我們發(fā)現(xiàn)女性和超重的人在喝了人工甜味劑后，大腦的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)活動(dòng)更大。兩組人在喝了含有三氯蔗糖的飲料后，都比喝了普通的含糖飲料后吃了更多的食物?？芍?，女性相比于男性來(lái)說(shuō)，在喝了低熱量的飲料后更容易吃得更多。

33.B猜測(cè)詞義題。根據(jù)第三段第二句人造甜味劑可能會(huì)誤導(dǎo)身體，讓它誤以為糖來(lái)了。說(shuō)明人的身體已經(jīng)習(xí)慣嘗到了甜的東西后一定會(huì)得到糖，這是身體對(duì)糖的回應(yīng)。

34.D推理判斷題。最后一段SusanSwither說(shuō)道：雖然這是一個(gè)很小的影響，但隨著時(shí)間的推移，可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致潛在的重大后果。因此，綜合來(lái)看，攝入人工甜味劑可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致重大的健康問(wèn)題。

35.C.主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容來(lái)看，本文主要講的是無(wú)糖飲品因添加了人工甜味劑而使得攝入的人胃口大增，對(duì)身體有害可知文章主要談?wù)摿藷o(wú)糖飲料與健康之間的潛在聯(lián)系。

七選五

36.D空前一句“在嘗試記憶新材料時(shí)，很容易認(rèn)為你投入的越多，你的表現(xiàn)就越好”，D項(xiàng)“然而偶爾休息一下——什么都不做——可能正是你所需要的”和上一句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。

37.E根據(jù)空前一句“雖然大家都知道我們應(yīng)該調(diào)整學(xué)習(xí)節(jié)奏，但新的研究表明，我們應(yīng)該在休息時(shí)間盡量減少干擾”和空后一句“你真的需要給你的大腦一個(gè)完全充電的機(jī)會(huì)，不要分心”，空白處談?wù)摼唧w的減少干擾的方法，承上啟下。

38.F根據(jù)空后一句講述了實(shí)驗(yàn)的最終結(jié)果即休息的參與者記住了近50%，而另一組平均記住了28%，可知空白處應(yīng)該是講述實(shí)驗(yàn)的過(guò)程，一小時(shí)后進(jìn)行測(cè)試時(shí)，兩組人的回憶模式明顯不同。

39.G根據(jù)本段第二句在健康的參與者中，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)短暫的休息也可以提高我們對(duì)地點(diǎn)的記憶，可知空白處講述了短暫的休息對(duì)于其他人的好處即老年癡呆癥的早期和中期患者也有類似的益處。G項(xiàng)中also，benefit是提示。

40.BA項(xiàng)中this指代上一句話中oncememoriesareinitiallyencoded,theypassthroughaperiodofconsolidationthatbondtheminlong-termstorage。Once和后句Butnow構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。
