I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (馬戲團). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
24. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
25. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
26. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
27. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.

Handing your baby a phone or a tablet to play with may seem like a harmless solution when you’re busy, but it could actually affect their development, a new study has found.
Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age l is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication skills, fine motor skills, personal and social skills,and problem-solving skills by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they performed in these developmental domains (領域) at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.
By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills, 1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2. By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.
“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (兒科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”
“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added. Looking at people’s faces is when our brains turn on to figure out how to interact with them.
28. What does the new study focus on
A. A baby’s mental health. B. Children’s developmental skills.
C. A kid’s academic performance. D. Students’ creative abilities.
29. What is the main research method used in the study
A. Analyzing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Reviewing literature. D. Doing experiments.
30. What does Dr. John Hutton suggest
A. The impact of screen exposure should be studied.
B. The findings should be applied to certain countries.
C. Global attention should be paid to kids’ screen hours.
D. Screens should be introduced to more and more babies.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. What Faults Can Be Found with Screens
B. What Difficulties A Young Kid Will Face
C. How Screens Change Academic Performance
D. How Screen Time Influences Kids’ Development

Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (鈉) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察覺到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (離子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
32. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks
A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
33. How do the high-tech chopsticks work
A. By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
34. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confirm. B. Improve.
C. Change. D. Strengthen.
35. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks
A Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.

67. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I was in my room, unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
“Kristie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there ” She glared at me — something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn’t wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (繩結) as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work Far from manly!
Soon, it was time to have to set off for the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him. Honey.” I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring (束帶) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out!
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.

I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (馬戲團). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
24. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
25. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
26. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
27. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A

Handing your baby a phone or a tablet to play with may seem like a harmless solution when you’re busy, but it could actually affect their development, a new study has found.
Having anywhere from one to four hours of screen time per day at age l is linked with higher risks of developmental delays in communication skills, fine motor skills, personal and social skills,and problem-solving skills by age 2, according to a study of 7,097 children published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. The study measured how many hours children used screens per day at age 1 and how they performed in these developmental domains (領域) at ages 2 and 4. Both measures were according to the mothers’ self-reports.
By age 2, those who had had up to four hours of screen time per day were up to 3 times more likely to experience developmental delays in communication and problem-solving skills. Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills, 1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2. By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.
“One of the areas that is relatively understudied in the whole screen time literature is looking at the impacts of screen exposure on very young kids, especially when screens are introduced to babies,” said Dr. John Hutton, an associate professor of general and community pediatrics (兒科) at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. “It’s definitely a global concern, and I think the findings should really be applied to other countries as well.”
“Technology use can take time away from interpersonal relationships that develop social skills since real people are more multidimensional than characters on a screen.” Hutton added. Looking at people’s faces is when our brains turn on to figure out how to interact with them.
28. What does the new study focus on
A. A baby’s mental health. B. Children’s developmental skills.
C. A kid’s academic performance. D. Students’ creative abilities.
29. What is the main research method used in the study
A. Analyzing data. B. Giving examples.
C. Reviewing literature. D. Doing experiments.
30. What does Dr. John Hutton suggest
A. The impact of screen exposure should be studied.
B. The findings should be applied to certain countries.
C. Global attention should be paid to kids’ screen hours.
D. Screens should be introduced to more and more babies.

Those who had spent four or more hours with screens were 4.78 times more likely to have underdeveloped communication skills, 1.74 times more likely to have poor performances in fine motor skills and two times more likely to have underdeveloped personal and social skills by age2. By age 4, risk remained only in the communication and problem-solving categories.(到2歲時，那些每天看屏幕時間超過4小時的孩子在溝通和解決問題能力方面出現發育遲緩的可能性要高出3倍。到2歲時，那些花4個小時或更長時間看屏幕的孩子，溝通能力不發達的可能性是其他人的4.78倍，精細運動技能不佳的可能性是其他人的1.74倍，個人和社交技能不發達的可能性是其他人的兩倍。到4歲時，風險只存在于溝通和解決問題方面。)”可推知，這項研究中使用的主要的方法是分析數據。故選A。

Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise People all over the world are told by their doctors to try for a low-sodium (鈉) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases, but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good. Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods. And when they were tested on participants for the first time, results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived (察覺到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years, but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions (離子) in sodium chloride (table salt), which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. If nothing else, one thing was clear: participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without. Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium, and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
32. What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks
A. To treat blood pressure. B. To test how salty a dish is.
C. To increase the saltiness of food. D. To help reduce salt intake.
33. How do the high-tech chopsticks work
A By sending warning information to the brain.
B. By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C. By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D. By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
34. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Confirm. B. Improve.
C. Change. D. Strengthen.
35. What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks
A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Uncertain. D. Pessimistic.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。日本研究人員開發出一種可以讓人感覺咸味增強的筷子，從而幫助人們減少食鹽的攝入量。
【32題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第一段的最后一句“Fortunately, Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets. (幸運的是，日本東京明治大學的研究人員和制造商麒麟開發出了一種高科技筷子，可以增強咸味，可能會幫助那些需要減少飲食中鈉含量的人。)”可知，這種高科技筷子的功能是幫助減少食鹽攝入量。故選D。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段第一句“According to the research team, the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks. (據研究小組介紹，其基本原理是，通過其中一根筷子的尖端直接進入口腔的極弱電流會讓人感受到額外的咸味。)”可知，這種高科技筷子是通過讓大腦感受額外的咸味來發揮其功能的。故選D。
【34題詳解】
詞義猜測題。根據第四段前兩句“And do these chopsticks work as expected To verify the effect of the new chopsticks, the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65, all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet. (這些筷子像預期的那樣好用嗎？為了 新筷子的效果，研究人員對36名年齡在40到65歲之間的參與者進行了一項實驗，他們都在吃低鈉飲食。)”可知，畫線詞所在句前一句是對筷子的效果提出疑問，而后面是對實驗結果的描述，故可推知，劃線詞是“證明，證實”的意思。故選A。
【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據末段“The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet, but with promising results, people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come! (這種筷子還沒有在商店貨架上銷售，但由于效果很好，世界各地那些不快樂地致力于低鈉飲食的人可能會對即將到來的任何更新感到興奮！)”可知，作者對這種高科技筷子的未來持樂觀態度。故選B。

【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。本篇主要向讀者講述了良好且有效的“傾聽”的重要性，并為讀者提供了成為合格傾聽者的實踐方法。
【36題詳解】
根據上文“Listening is an art as well as a basic life skill that we are encouraged to practise and master.（聽力是一種藝術，也是一種基本的生活技能，我們被鼓勵去練習和掌握）”以及下文作者分類介紹了在日常生活中可以應用的各類傾聽的方式方法?？芍狣項：Here's how to bring the vital life skill into your daily existence.（下面是如何將這一重要的生活技能運用到你的日常生活中）合乎題意。故選D。
【37題詳解】
根據本小節標題“Don't interrupt（不要打斷）”，可知本段強調的內容為不要在說話者說話時打斷，而應耐心傾聽完話者想要表達的意思。此句位于段首，起到概括和解釋標題作用。B項：Let the person speak without interruption.（讓對方說話時不要打斷）概括和解釋標題，合乎題意。故選B。
【38題詳解】
根據下文“you can also make noises that show you agree with what he person is saying such as “yes”, ‘'yeah", and “okay.”（你也可以發出一些聲音來表示你同意對方說的話，比如yes和okay）”中的“also”，我們可知設空處描述的情形也應為對某人的發言表示同意或肯定時做出的姿態，從而增進互動，表示理解。F項：Another great way to show your understanding is to respond by nodding.（另一種表示理解的好方法是點頭回應）合乎題意。故選F。
【39題詳解】
設空處概括本段內容，為本段小標題， 設空處與上下段的首句句式保持一致，即應是祈使句。根據下文“About 60-75% of our communication is accomplished without 大約60-75%的交流是在不說話的情況下完成的。為了知道是要鼓勵說話者，還是更開放自己，有必要了解這個人的身體在說什么。根據下文“About 60-75% of our communication is accomplished without speaking. speaking. In order to know whether to encourage the speaker, or to open yourself more, it's essential to know what the person's body is saying.（大約60-75%的交流是在不說話的情況下完成的。為了知道是要鼓勵說話者，還是更開放自己，有必要了解這個人的身體在說什么）”可知，作者闡述了傾聽說話者肢體語言的重要性，也即話語本身以外的身體信號，從而判斷傾聽者應該采取怎樣的方式更好地促進交流。A項：Listen to non-verbal communication.（傾聽非語言交流）合乎題意。故選A。
【40題詳解】
根據上文“It can be difficult to listen to another person when the TV is screaming, your phone is buzzing and there are thousands of cars passing by.（當電視發出刺耳的聲音，你的手機嗡嗡作響，成千上萬輛汽車駛過時，你很難去聽別人說話）”可知，前文敘述了在嘈雜、混亂的環境中良好的傾聽一般難以達成，而后文中的“find a quite place（找一個安靜角落）”則應是原文再現。由此可推斷出此空應為與嘈雜環境相對照，找到一個安靜的地方，更有利于凝神傾聽。G項：When you remove the distractions and find a quiet place it’s easier to listen attentively.（當你排除干擾，找到一個安靜的地方，更容易專心傾聽）合乎題意。故答案為G。

第二節（滿分25分）
67. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
I was in my room, unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He was just adopted by my parents recently. I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
“Kristie come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there ” She glared at me — something she never did before Henry came to our home. I didn’t wet his book on purpose. Tears of hurt clouded my eyes. Worse still, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was just nearby, absorbed in working on a complicated rope knot (繩結) as usual. Why did a boy like him do the girly work Far from manly!
Soon, it was time to have to set off for the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It’s the first time for Henry to be onstage. Be kind to him. Honey.” I nodded but sighed. Being kind didn’t use to be hard. But after Henry moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry involved, it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely I had tied the drawstring (束帶) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. Laughter from the audience could be heard, and even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out!
注意：1.續寫詞數應為150左右；2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassment. He immediately came to my aid. With a calm and steady hand, he quickly retied the drawstring on my skirt, saving me from further humiliation. “Don’t worry, I’ve got you,” he whispered, offering a reassuring smile. I felt a surge of gratitude mixed with guilt for all the negative thoughts I had harbored against him. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out to be a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance, I found Henry and tapped him on the arm gratefully. “Thank you, Henry,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. I had to admit that but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. “That’s what brothers are for,” he replied simply. At that moment, I realized how wrong I had been about him. Henry wasn’t stealing my mother’s love or ruining my life; he was becoming an integral part of our family, bringing his own strengths and kindness. As we walked back to the car, I felt a newfound bond with Henry, understanding that our differences could be a source of strength rather than division.
