14、idays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. Its evident that seeing the stu
15、ff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.I didnt fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror
16、, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no
17、 matter what mistakes theyve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood
18、 and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuffpast mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many
19、things and took bag after bag to charity.The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing both of the house and heart.4What made the author feel bitter?AShe couldnt under

Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts an
23、d events based on specific details.The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks.
24、 The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scien
25、tist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to
26、 actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Waiss team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.A cognitive (认知
27、)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratory setting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons
28、 notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before its treated as a strong finding.”For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.8What is the passage mainly about?APeoples memory
29、 gradually fails as they age.BPeople of different ages should play VR games.CVirtual reality changes peoples memory.DVirtual reality improves older adults memory.9What is Meredith Thompsons attitude toward the research?Asatisfied.Benthusiastic.Ccautious.Dconcerned.10According to the scientists, the
30、research needs to be improved due to _.Athe lack of financial support.Bthe limited pool of participants.Cthe unsatisfying test performance.Dthe impractical application in real world.11Where may the passage come from?AA novel.BA review.CA magazine.DA guidebook.DIt was just after 5 pm. I was holding a
31、 cup of tea at Sainsburys, the second largest chain of supermarkets in the U. K. We were around a dozen customers in the supermarkets cafe, and most of us were on our own. Despite placing the special sign “Reserved for customers in the mood for a chat” in an obvious position, I got no takers.Governm
32、ent announcers tell us that Britons of all ages are suffering loneliness. About 200, 000 senior citizens have not spoken to a friend or relative for over a month. Family doctors suspect that some of their patients are making appointments because they are lonely. The receptionists also agree that the
33、 front desk is a magnet for the isolated to come and experience a bit of human contact. And the young, even with their busy lives on social media, are also affected. New research from Sainsburys Living Well Index reveals that almost two thirds of the people aged between 18 and 24 have admitted to so
34、metimes feeling lonely.To ease the problem of loneliness, Sainsburys has launched “Talking Tables,” which are reserved spaces where people can have a chat. They appear in a variety of formats. A sign-posted table located in cafs in-store is one of them. The concept has been developed in close associ
35、ation with Chatty Caf. Alexandra Hoskyn was inspired to start a network of Chatty Cafs in the U. K. in 2017 after finding herself socially isolated as a new mother at home with young children.“We know from our Living Well Index that community connections are a key driver of helping people live well,
36、” says Judith Batchelar, director of Sainsburys brand. “We hope that by bringing people together at our Talking Tables, we can develop the potential of our store space to help people be better connected to the communities they live and work in.”A European friend suggested that all this unsolicited(自
37、发的) friendliness may not seem very British. However, a staff member at the Sainsburys sounded more positive: “Its early days, and you cannot change peoples habits overnight.”12Who might come to “Talking Table”?AOnly the lonely old people.BPeople having communication problems.CTeenagers active in soc
38、ial media.DAnyone eager to chat.13What can we infer from the text?A“Talking Table” is a pioneer in the UK.B“Talking Table” was inspired by some new mothers.CFriendliness can change British habits directly.D“Talking Table” can produce a sense of belonging.14What is the important element for peoples w

41、o you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. _16_It turns out, its just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster. Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum
42、 delay. _17_Any small interruption-a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line. If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability:_18_So its not just in your mind: Another line probably i
43、s moving faster. Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line-and serve each person at the front with the next available register. _19_This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentin
44、e line, a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall. _20_It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores cant afford the space or manpower. So wherever you

62、寓言和童话”博物馆,并发布招聘启事,招聘故事讲述人。1细节理解题。根据第一段“F is a non-profit site for visitors from all over the world to share and read fables and fairy tales.(F是一个非盈利性网站,供来自世界各地的访客分享和阅读寓言和童话。)”以及第二段“Our main objective is to promote the importance of such stories in developing culture, imagination and creativity.

63、elieve that reading the fables and fairy tales from different cultures allows us to build a greater understanding and appreciation of the diversity around the world.(我们的主要目标是宣传这些故事在发展文化,想象力和创造力方面的重要性。我们相信,阅读来自不同文化的寓言和童话能让我们更好地理解和欣赏世界的多样性。)”可知此网站的主要目标是要促进寓言和童话的阅读。故选B。2推理判断题。根据第四段第三句“No charges for gu
64、ides and admissions but donations are much appreciated.(导游和入场不收费,但欢迎捐款)”可推断出这个博物馆依靠游客的捐赠来维持。故选D。3推理判断题。根据最后海报中的“Join us as a storyteller! If you are passionate about being a storyteller, send us a video of a reading to storyteller. Upload a great performance and we will include you in our list!(加入我们
65、,成为一个讲故事的人!如果你想成为一个讲故事的人,请给我们发送一个阅读视频到storyteller。上传精彩表现的视频,我们会将您列入我们的聘用名单!)”可知故事讲述人都是根据他们上传的作品选出来的。故选D。4B5A6C7D【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的母亲对于以前花钱买了很多没用的东西而感到愧疚,并因此而备受折磨。因此,作者建议母亲通过卖掉这些物品和捐给慈善事业来摆脱它们。从这件事情作者告诉我们一个道理:只有通过自我原谅才能带来家和内心的重组。4细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句Its evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds
66、 my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money可知这些物品每天都让作者的母亲想起过去;及第二段第一句I didnt fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week.承接了第一段,描述了作者的母亲因这些物品而遭受到了很大的痛苦。因此,母亲深陷在痛苦的记忆中让作者很难受。故选B。5推理判断题。作者的母亲在上句because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventual
67、ly提到会最终摆脱这些物品,而现在母亲让这些物品时刻陪着自己是惩罚自己的一种方式。因此that指的是get rid of all this stuff。故选A。6推理判断题。根据第四段she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuffpast mistakes and painful times.一句可知,作者的母亲认为以前花钱买这么多不用的东西是一大错误,且上文也提到母亲因这些错误而备受折磨。因此,可得知作者的母亲后
68、悔买了这些东西。故选C。7标题判断题。作者的母亲对于以前花钱买了很多没用的东西而感到愧疚,并因此而备受折磨。最终,作者说服母亲通过卖掉这些物品或捐给慈善来摆脱它们,也帮助母亲摆脱了精神上的折磨。Clearance helps remove suffering清除(折磨自己的东西)有助于消除痛苦。故答案选D。8D9C10B11C【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述的是虚拟现实可以改善老年人的记忆。并介绍了研究的开展过程以及相关专家对此的看法。8主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual
69、 reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.(但是目前在科学报告上出版的研究报告表明虚拟现实可能帮助老年人根据具体细节回忆事实和事件)”以及接下来的描述可知,文章主要讲述的是虚拟现实可以改善老年人的记忆。故选D。9推理判断题。根据第三段“Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It
70、would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games.(Meredith Thompson,一位教育研究者,主要研究通过虚拟现实游戏学习,但没有参与新的研究。她说,长时间跟踪并看看这种游戏对长期记忆有什么作用是很棒的,并补充说,虚拟现实可以比其他游戏提供更多的参与)”可知,Meredith Tho
71、mpson需要长时间跟踪观察。由此推知,她对这项研究的态度是谨慎的。故选C。10细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before its treated as a strong finding.”(Simons说,“这个结果在它被视为重大发现之前需要被重复测验,最好是在一个更大的群体中。”)”以及最后一段“For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized
72、groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.(Wais说,现在这个团队希望与类似规模的团队进行的研究将有助于筹集资金来在更多的参与者中测试游戏)”可知,科学家认为这个研究需要进一步改善是因为参与者的数量有限。故选B。11推理判断题。根据第一段“Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events ba
73、sed on specific details.(但是目前在科学报告上出版的研究报告表明虚拟现实可能帮助老年人根据具体细节回忆事实和事件)”以及接下来的描述可知,这属于科学研究,所以我们可以推测本文是发表在某杂志上。故选C。12D13D14C15B【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了英国超市连锁店Sainsburys划出区域作为“Talking Tables”,以减轻人们的孤独感。12细节理解题。根据第二段“Government announcers tell us that Britons of all ages are suffering loneliness.(政府报幕员告诉我们,各个年
74、龄段的英国人都在遭受孤独。)”根据第三段“To ease the problem of loneliness, Sainsburys has launched “Talking Tables,” which are reserved spaces where people can have a chat.(为了缓解孤独的问题,塞恩斯伯里推出了“Talking Tables”,这是人们可以聊天的预留空间。)可知,任何年龄段的英国人都会有孤独感,因此第三段第一句提到Talking Tables给人们提供一个交流的地方,即想聊天的人可以来“Talking Tables”。故选D。13推理判断题。根据
75、文章第三、四段,特别是第四段中“We hope that by bringing people together at our Talking Tables, we can develop the potential of our store space to help people be better connected to the communities they live and work in.(我们希望通过把人们聚集在我们的“Talking Tables”上,我们可以开发我们商店空间的潜力,帮助人们更好地与他们生活和工作的社区联系起来。)”可知,Talking Tables可以增进
76、人们之间的交流,使人们和周围能够更好地连接,因此能够给人增加归属感。故选D。14细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句“We hope that by bringing people together at our Talking Tables, we can develop the potential of our store space to help people be better connected to the communities they live and work in.(我们希望通过把人们聚集在我们的“Talking Tables”上,我们可以开发我们商店空间的潜力,帮助人们
77、更好地与他们生活和工作的社区联系起来。)”可知,Talking Tables可以增进人们在社区中的交流。故选C。15主旨大意题。根据第三段“To ease the problem of loneliness, Sainsburys has launched “Talking Tables,” which are reserved spaces where people can have a chat.(为了缓解孤独的问题,塞恩斯伯里推出了“Talking Tables”,这是人们可以聊天的预留空间。)”及全文可知,文章主要就是介绍超市咖啡店里的Talking Tables能帮助人们减少孤独感。
78、故选B。16A17G18D19F20B【导语】本文是说明文。文章说明了杂货店排队方式以及研究人员提出的蛇形队伍的新方式,并分析了各自的利弊。16根据下文“It turns out, its just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster. (原来,这只是你的数学问题;很可能,另一个队伍真的更快)”解释了上文“You chose wrong.(你选错了)”的原因,下文与空格处是因果关系,所以本空应该是对前文选错提出疑惑,A选项“Why does this always seem to happ
79、en to you?( 为什么这种事总是发生在你身上?)”符合文意,故选A项。17根据上文“Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay.(杂货店尽量让足够的员工在结账时让所有的顾客以最小的延误完成结账)”解释了杂货店之前的工作模式,下文“Any small interruption a price check, a chatty customer -can have downstream effects, holding
80、 up an entire line.(任何一个小小的中断,一个价格检查,一个喋喋不休的顾客,都会产生下游效应,拖住整个生产线)”描述了杂货店的特殊情况,故本空应该填出现特殊情况的原因,G项“But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.(但有时,比如在周日下午,系统会变得特别繁忙)”,与此呼应。故选G项。18根据上文“If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registe
81、rs. (如果杂货店中有三列队伍,延迟将在不同的队伍中随机发生)”联系下文“So its not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.(所以这不仅仅是在你的脑海里:另一条队伍可能移动得更快)”可知本空说的是任何一个队伍都有可能出现问题。你的队伍跑得最快的几率只有三分之一。D项“The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.(你的线路是最快的几率只有三分之一)”与此对应。故选D项。19根据“上文Researchers have a g
82、ood way to deal with this problem.(我们得知研究人员有一个很好的方法来处理这个问题)”以及下文“This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register wont unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone little bit but speed up chec
