At that time there were no other radio stations playing pop music for young people and it quickly became really popular. The exhibition, as you would expect, includes the best-loved music from that time. There are records by groups such as The Beatles, who actually visited Radio Caroline. You can also see some of the letters sent by Radio Caroline's thousands of fans. It's also interesting to listen to the interviews with some of the DJs who worked at Radio Caroline. They were very famous back then. The exhibition is unusual because it's being held on the radio ship itself. It's open seven days a week from 10:00 a. m. to 6:00 p. m. You need to get there soon, though, because it only runs for two months and will finish in the middle of June. But there will be other events to celebrate Radio Caroline coming up soon. You won't need to buy a ticket because the exhibition is free. You can get more information from its website.

（2024·四川模擬） 閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
My grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings.
"Is there anything you want from grandma's flat " Mum texted me.
"Her aloe (蘆薈), please." I required zero thinking time.
Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway. It came from the local butcher. Five years later, my mum married the butcher's son and had me. Grandma revealed to me this particular plant was a living relationship between the two families. And so was I.
Recently, whenever we visited Grandma's flat, I attempted to fix this concept in my children's minds. "That was a gift your great-grandma bought your other great-grandma! It's older than me!" Then my kids would nod and ask Grandma for a sweet.
Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn't use to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can't. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse.
The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to deal with its cuttings properly, and then maybe one day I can settle the plant in my place.
In the meantime, Ann will allocate (分配) clippings among my relatives, as Grandma used to do. My wife's two sisters, for example, are both better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite imaginable they, too, will offer cuttings of the plant to their partners, spreading this loving plant across my entire extended family.
24．Why did the author want his grandma's aloe
A．He wanted to pass it down to others.
B．He had a pleasant memory of the plant.
C．He showed a preference for gardening.
D．He received it as a gift from his grandma.
25．Which of the following best describes the author's grandma
A．Optimistic and patient. B．Generous and helpful.
C．Honest and fashionable. D．Humorous and skillful.
26．The author took the aloe to his mother-in-law to ____.
A．display his skills in gardening
B．have the plant better cared for
C．announce his grandma's death
D．protect the plant from dying out
27．What may be the best title for the text
A．Aloe: a mysterious plant B．Aloe: my family bond
C．Grandma: my life coach D．Grandma: a lovely gardener
【答案】24．B

24．推理判斷題。根據第一段"My grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings."我奶奶上周去世了。我媽媽開始了一項痛苦但必要的工作：整理她的物品；以及下文可知，本文講述了奶奶去世后，留給了作者一種可愛的植物蘆薈，這種特殊的植物是家人之間的一種活生生的關系，后來作者努力把這種可愛的植物傳播到整個大家庭。可推知，作者想要他祖母的蘆薈，因為他對這種植物有一段美好的回憶。故選B。
25．推理判斷題。根據第四段中的"Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway."1975年左右的某個時候，奶奶總是相信未來會有好事發生，她收到了這種植物作為禮物，她很感激并把它放在門口。可推知，奶奶是樂觀的；以及第六段中的"Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn't used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset."奶奶給了我很多次這種植物的剪枝，希望我能自己養，繼續這個傳說。然而，每一次，我的新枝條都因我糟糕的園藝技能而枯萎。但這在過去并不重要，因為我可以求助于奶奶，她會等著接受我的打擾，而不會感到不安。可推知，奶奶是有耐心的，從來不會因我的打擾而煩惱。故選A。
26．細節理解題。根據第六段"Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend.

Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can't. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse."奶奶給了我很多次這種植物的剪枝，希望我能自己養，繼續這個傳說。然而，每一次，我的新枝條都因我糟糕的園藝技能而枯萎。但這在過去并不重要，因為我可以求助于奶奶，她會等著接受我的打擾，而不會感到不安。然后我又剪了一枝，然后再試了一次。但現在我不能了。所以，我決定讓這株植物去和我的岳母住在一起，她是一個養溫室綠植的天才。可知，作者把蘆薈帶給了他的岳母是為了讓植物得到更好的照顧。故選B。
27．標題歸納題。根據第一段"My grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings."我奶奶上周去世了。我媽媽開始了一項痛苦但必要的工作：整理她的物品；以及下文可知，本文講述了奶奶去世后，留給了作者一種可愛的植物蘆薈，這種特殊的植物是家人之間的一種活生生的關系，后來作者努力把這種可愛的植物傳播到整個大家庭。"蘆薈：我的家庭紐帶"適合作本文標題。故選B。

On June 6th Columbia University announced that it will no longer cooperate with US News World Report's undergraduate rankings. It is the first top institution to do so. Might its departure be the start of a mass departure
Columbia's decision follows a ranking scandal ( 丑 聞) last year. In February 2022, one of Columbia's own maths professors accused the college of having used "outdated and/or incorrect data" in several areas.
In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America's top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988.
Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings. Richard Freeland, Northeastern University's former president, capped class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality. Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year.
The ranking system used to seem unstoppable. Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year's analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23.
Recently the mood has begun to change, however, especially among graduate schools. In 2022, of the 15 highest-ranked law schools, only the University of Chicago submitted data.
In May US News announced changes to its ranking methodology. It is moving away from metrics (度量標準) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. One way or another, the rankings and universities more broadly are in a state of constant change.

【知識點】推理判斷題；詞義猜測題；細節理解題；說明文；學習教育類
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了哥倫比亞大學退出美國大學排名，更多的學校會效仿嗎？并對此現象進行說明和闡述。
【點評】本題考點涉及細節理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，通讀全文，理解文章大意，閱讀題目后返回原文閱讀并找出與題目相對應的內容，仔細核對，選擇符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次閱讀并檢查。
28．細節理解題。根據第三段"In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America's top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988."在20世紀80年代，潛在的學生開始將他們的大學搜索范圍擴大到當地以外，很難了解大學并進行比較。因此，《美國新聞與世界報道》從1983年開始對美國頂尖大學進行排名，并從1988年開始每年發布一次排名結果。可知，在20世紀80年代，《美國新聞與世界報道》開始提供美國大學排名，讓畢業生了解到他們居住地以外的大學的情況，填補了過去的信息空白。故選A。
29．詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的"Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings."大學為提高排名付出了巨大的努力；以及"…class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality."……班級規模，提高學生參與度，保證課堂質量；和"Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year."因此，從2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。可知，為了提升大學排名，Richard Freeland前東北大學校長作出了限制班級規模的應對措施，因此東北大學從2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。劃線詞capped與limited"限制"同義。故選D。
30．推理判斷題。根據第五段中的"Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year's analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23."大學以前也曾試圖擺脫它，結果發現這樣做可能會適得其反。《美國新聞與世界報道》仍然使用公開信息對未參與排名的大學進行排名，而數據往往不利于這些大學。哥倫比亞大學沒有提交今年分析的數據，其排名從2021-22年度的第二名降至2022-23年度的第18名。可知，大學不與美國新聞與世界報道》合作，《美國新聞與世界報道》仍然使用公開信息對未參與排名的大學進行排名，而數據往往不利于這些大學。可推知，如果一所大學不與《美國新聞與世界報道》合作，它的排名可能會因此受到影響。故選C。
31．細節理解題。根據最后一段中的"It is moving away from metrics (度量標準) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. "它正在從依賴聲譽的指標轉向學生的成績。可知，未來，《美國新聞與世界報道》的本科排名可能會更多地關注大學畢業生的成就。故選D。
（2024·四川模擬） 閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how I rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience—a prim-looking(古板的) couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don't you have anything better to do
An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn't. New research suggests that modern adults have ignored their play instinct (本能). Most animals stop playing as adults. However, there are a handful of animals that never stop.
One possibility is that adult play is important and beneficial, —a theory supported by a study. Researcher Camilla Cenni from the University of Lethbridge left some puzzle boxes for some monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container. The monkeys that previously had dropped rocks for fun were more likely to solve the puzzle. This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history—a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humans' greatest inventions. Adult play is also about preparing for the unexpected. And biologists found its most important function is improving relationships and helping individuals get along.
Adult play promotes inclusivity, cooperation and creativity—all qualities that we humans could use. Unfortunately, social norms hold back our urge to let loose. "Generally speaking, we like to do the things that are necessary for our survival," says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Boston University," Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Plowing(耕) fields is hard and boring. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play."
With threats like climate change, it's easy to get into seriousness. But we should understand the value of encouraging adult play. So next time I'm caught playing, I know what to say, "I'm playing for the benefit of all humankind. You' re welcome."
32．Why did the author's face turn red
A．She was considered too old to play.
B．She had difficulty making a snowman.
C．She was ignored by a prim-looking couple.
D．She couldn't answer the couple's question.
33．What can be inferred about adult play from Paragraph 3
A．It is the natural need of humans.
B．It can contribute to useful creations.
C．It has slowed down human evolution.
D．It is particularly noticeable in animals.
34．What got humans to lose the fun of playing according to Peter Gray
A．The arrival of agriculture.
B．Modern science.
C．Climate change.
D．The need to prepare for the unexpected.
35．What's the main idea of this passage
A．The ways adults can be more playful.
B．The ways to add more play to your grown-up life.
C．The reasons why adults need to make time for playtime.
D．The differences exist between human and animals' play.
【答案】32．A
33．B
34．A
35．C
【知識點】推理判斷題；細節理解題；說明文；社會現象類；文章大意
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了在現代社會中，人們常會對充滿玩心的成年人持否定態度，但事實上，"玩"這一活動非常重要，可以幫助人們培養各種素質，從而能夠更好地解決問題。
【點評】本題考點涉及細節理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇社會現象類閱讀；首先要仔細閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結合具體的題目，再讀短文，從中找出相關信息，就可以確定正確答案。
32．細節理解題。根據第一段"After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how I rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience-a prim-looking (古板的) couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don't you have anything better to do "一場大雪過后，我興奮地跑到屋外堆雪人。無論我怎么滾雪球，它就是不長大。休息了一會兒后，我又開始堆雪人。然后我注意到有觀眾——一對古板的夫婦，明顯不贊同我的做法。我臉紅了，試圖回答他們未說出口的問題——難道你就沒有更好的事情可做嗎？；以及第二段中的"An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn't."成年人獨自玩耍似乎很奇怪，但也許不應該如此。可知，一對夫婦看到作者一個成年人在堆雪人，認為作者的這種行為很奇怪，這令作者感到尷尬，因而臉紅了。故選A。
33．推理判斷題。根據第三段中的"This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history — a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humans' greatest inventions. "這一發現還表明，在我們的進化史中，好玩的人類曾發明過石器。即使在今天，好玩的欲望也是人類最偉大發明的一部分。可推知，成年人玩耍可以為有用的創作做出貢獻。故選B。
34．細節理解題。根據第四段中的"Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Plowing (耕) fields is hard and boring. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play."人類開始種植莊稼后，就離樂趣又遠了一大步。耕田既辛苦又無聊。然后我們發明了工廠，就不再關注玩樂了。可知，農業出現后，農耕辛苦又枯燥，讓人們失去了玩的樂趣，故選A。
35．主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文介紹了在現代社會中，人們常會對充滿玩心的成年人持否定態度，但事實上，"玩"這一活動非常重要，可以幫助人們培養各種素質，從而能夠更好地解決問題，可推知"為什么成年人需要騰出時間玩耍"適合作文章標題，故選C。

Last Saturday, our entirely class visited the Science and Technology Museum under guidance of our teachers. The moment when I stepped into the museum, a wave of excitement and curious washed over me.

My grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings.
"Is there anything you want from grandma's flat " Mum texted me.
"Her aloe (蘆薈), please." I required zero thinking time.
Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway. It came from the local butcher. Five years later, my mum married the butcher's son and had me. Grandma revealed to me this particular plant was a living relationship between the two families. And so was I.
Recently, whenever we visited Grandma's flat, I attempted to fix this concept in my children's minds. "That was a gift your great-grandma bought your other great-grandma! It's older than me!" Then my kids would nod and ask Grandma for a sweet.
Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn't use to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can't. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse.
The plan is for Ann to keep hold of the original plant. In time, she can teach me how to deal with its cuttings properly, and then maybe one day I can settle the plant in my place.
In the meantime, Ann will allocate (分配) clippings among my relatives, as Grandma used to do. My wife's two sisters, for example, are both better at tending plants than I am, so it is quite imaginable they, too, will offer cuttings of the plant to their partners, spreading this loving plant across my entire extended family.
24．Why did the author want his grandma's aloe
A．He wanted to pass it down to others.
B．He had a pleasant memory of the plant.
C．He showed a preference for gardening.
D．He received it as a gift from his grandma.
25．Which of the following best describes the author's grandma
A．Optimistic and patient. B．Generous and helpful.
C．Honest and fashionable. D．Humorous and skillful.
26．The author took the aloe to his mother-in-law to ____.
A．display his skills in gardening
B．have the plant better cared for
C．announce his grandma's death
D．protect the plant from dying out
27．What may be the best title for the text
A．Aloe: a mysterious plant B．Aloe: my family bond
C．Grandma: my life coach D．Grandma: a lovely gardener

On June 6th Columbia University announced that it will no longer cooperate with US News World Report's undergraduate rankings. It is the first top institution to do so. Might its departure be the start of a mass departure
Columbia's decision follows a ranking scandal ( 丑 聞) last year. In February 2022, one of Columbia's own maths professors accused the college of having used "outdated and/or incorrect data" in several areas.
In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America's top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988.
Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings. Richard Freeland, Northeastern University's former president, capped class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality. Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year.
The ranking system used to seem unstoppable. Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year's analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23.
Recently the mood has begun to change, however, especially among graduate schools. In 2022, of the 15 highest-ranked law schools, only the University of Chicago submitted data.
In May US News announced changes to its ranking methodology. It is moving away from metrics (度量標準) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. One way or another, the rankings and universities more broadly are in a state of constant change.
28．What is true about the US News undergraduate rankings
A．It filled an information gap in the past.
B．It faked the information for the ratings.
C．It promoted the quality of higher education.
D．It's been released every year for 40 years.
29．What does the underlined word "capped" in paragraph 4 mean
A．doubled B．maintained C．increased D．limited
30．What will happen to a university if it does not cooperate with US News
A．Its information will be removed.
B．It will be excluded from the list forever.
C．Its ranking will probably suffer consequently.
D．It will certainly be measured with incorrect data.
31．US News undergraduate rankings may focus more on____ in the future.
A．the changing mood of universities
B．the instant fame of universities
C．scores given by former students
D．achievements of university graduates

After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how I rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience—a prim-looking(古板的) couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don't you have anything better to do
An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn't. New research suggests that modern adults have ignored their play instinct (本能). Most animals stop playing as adults. However, there are a handful of animals that never stop.
One possibility is that adult play is important and beneficial, —a theory supported by a study. Researcher Camilla Cenni from the University of Lethbridge left some puzzle boxes for some monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container. The monkeys that previously had dropped rocks for fun were more likely to solve the puzzle. This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history—a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humans' greatest inventions. Adult play is also about preparing for the unexpected. And biologists found its most important function is improving relationships and helping individuals get along.
Adult play promotes inclusivity, cooperation and creativity—all qualities that we humans could use. Unfortunately, social norms hold back our urge to let loose. "Generally speaking, we like to do the things that are necessary for our survival," says Peter Gray, a play researcher at Boston University," Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Plowing(耕) fields is hard and boring. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play."
With threats like climate change, it's easy to get into seriousness. But we should understand the value of encouraging adult play. So next time I'm caught playing, I know what to say, "I'm playing for the benefit of all humankind. You' re welcome."
32．Why did the author's face turn red
A．She was considered too old to play.
B．She had difficulty making a snowman.
C．She was ignored by a prim-looking couple.
D．She couldn't answer the couple's question.
33．What can be inferred about adult play from Paragraph 3
A．It is the natural need of humans.
B．It can contribute to useful creations.
C．It has slowed down human evolution.
D．It is particularly noticeable in animals.
34．What got humans to lose the fun of playing according to Peter Gray
A．The arrival of agriculture.
B．Modern science.
C．Climate change.
D．The need to prepare for the unexpected.
35．What's the main idea of this passage
A．The ways adults can be more playful.
B．The ways to add more play to your grown-up life.
C．The reasons why adults need to make time for playtime.
D．The differences exist between human and animals' play.

You have an important exam in a few days and you're not feeling prepared. With only a short time to go, you may try four strategies here.　36． 　.
Get organized
Time-poor students should use a planner to, identify the time available for study. 　37． 　. Being organized with your study materials helps you to be organized in your thinking, too, as you can easily access the materials you need.
Take and reflect on notes
Have you ever tried to recall what you learned a week ago and found it's as if it's been wiped from your memory 　38． 　. An active note-taking process is important to help you transfer new information from short-term memory and then recall it more easily after it is stored in the long-term memory.
　39． 　 .
Research has found the rate you forget information is minimized if you interact with new information within 24 hours of first receiving it. A second, shorter repetition within 24 hours brings recall back up to 100%. A third repetition within a week for an even shorter time brings recall back to 100%.
Self-testing
Self-testing is a powerful way to study and learn. And flash cards are a great way to help you to self-test. 　40． 　. You never know when you'll get a few minutes for some quick studying, so always be prepared If you have a five-minute break between classes or on the bus, for example, you can pull your cards out for a quick study session.
A. Keep interacting with the content
B. Always take them along with you
C. Focus on one thing for an extended time

【解析】【聽力原文】W: Now here's something for all you music lovers; a new exhibition to celebrate the radio station Radio Caroline. For those of you too young to remember, it was against the law because it was at first base on a ship out at sea. Radio Caroline opened in 1964 and closed down four years later. At that time there were no other radio stations playing pop music for young people and it quickly became really popular. The exhibition, as you would expect, includes the best-loved music from that time. There are records by groups such as The Beatles, who actually visited Radio Caroline. You can also see some of the letters sent by Radio Caroline's thousands of fans. It's also interesting to listen to the interviews with some of the DJs who worked at Radio Caroline. They were very famous back then. The exhibition is unusual because it's being held on the radio ship itself. It's open seven days a week from 10:00 a. m. to 6:00 p. m. You need to get there soon, though, because it only runs for two months and will finish in the middle of June. But there will be other events to celebrate Radio Caroline coming up soon. You won't need to buy a ticket because the exhibition is free. You can get more information from its website.

【點評】考查閱讀理解，包含細節理解題，是一篇介紹類閱讀，注意先略讀文章，掌握文章大意，再分析題干及選項，到文中找到相關內容并進行理解。
21．細節理解題。根據Rough Sleepers Tracy Kidder 部分中的"This uplifting book is about Dr. Jim O'Connell's work of bringing health care to unhoused people for more than three decades, first in Boston and now in nearly every American city. His work might be a band-aid on the bigger problem of homelessness, but as he said, ‘This is what we do while waiting for the world to change.'"這本令人振奮的書講述了Jim O'Connell博士三十多年來為無家可歸者提供醫療保健的工作，最初是在波士頓，現在幾乎遍及美國所有城市。他的工作可能是解決無家可歸這一更大問題的權宜之計，但正如他所說，"這是我們在等待世界改變的同時所做的事情。"可知，這本書的主人公Jim O'Connell博士多年來一直致力于為無家可歸者提供醫療幫助，他認為自己的工作將會對無家可歸的人產生影響，使他們可以得到更多的幫助。故選D。
22．細節理解題。根據The Right CallSally Jenkins部分中的"Whatever part of life you want to excel in, this book will have you rethinking what you do and how you might do it differently."無論你想在生活的哪一部分出類拔萃，這本書都會讓你重新思考你在做什么，以及你如何做得不同。可知，Sally Jenkins寫的The Right Call這本書能讓讀者重新思考如何在生活中讓自己變得優秀。故選B。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了奶奶去世后，留給了作者一種可愛的植物蘆薈，這種特殊的植物是家人之間的一種活生生的關系，后來作者努力把這種可愛的植物傳播到整個大家庭。
【點評】本題考點涉及細節理解，推理判斷和標題歸納三個題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，要求考生在捕捉細節信息的基礎上，進一步根據上下文的邏輯關系，進行分析，推理，概括和歸納，從而選出正確答案。
24．推理判斷題。根據第一段"My grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings."我奶奶上周去世了。我媽媽開始了一項痛苦但必要的工作：整理她的物品；以及下文可知，本文講述了奶奶去世后，留給了作者一種可愛的植物蘆薈，這種特殊的植物是家人之間的一種活生生的關系，后來作者努力把這種可愛的植物傳播到整個大家庭。可推知，作者想要他祖母的蘆薈，因為他對這種植物有一段美好的回憶。故選B。
25．推理判斷題。根據第四段中的"Sometime around 1975, Grandma, always believing good things would happen in the future, received this plant as a gift, which she appreciated and placed in her doorway."1975年左右的某個時候，奶奶總是相信未來會有好事發生，她收到了這種植物作為禮物，她很感激并把它放在門口。可推知，奶奶是樂觀的；以及第六段中的"Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn't used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset."奶奶給了我很多次這種植物的剪枝，希望我能自己養，繼續這個傳說。然而，每一次，我的新枝條都因我糟糕的園藝技能而枯萎。但這在過去并不重要，因為我可以求助于奶奶，她會等著接受我的打擾，而不會感到不安。可推知，奶奶是有耐心的，從來不會因我的打擾而煩惱。故選A。
26．細節理解題。根據第六段"Numerous times, Grandma gave me cuttings or clippings of the plant, hoping I might raise my own and continue the legend. Yet, every time, my new branch died with my awful gardening skills. But that didn't used to matter, because I could turn to Grandma, who would wait and accept my disturbance without becoming upset. Then I got another clipping and tried again. But now I can't. So, I decided that the plant will go and live with Ann, my mother-in-law, who is a genius with a greenhouse."奶奶給了我很多次這種植物的剪枝，希望我能自己養，繼續這個傳說。然而，每一次，我的新枝條都因我糟糕的園藝技能而枯萎。但這在過去并不重要，因為我可以求助于奶奶，她會等著接受我的打擾，而不會感到不安。然后我又剪了一枝，然后再試了一次。但現在我不能了。所以，我決定讓這株植物去和我的岳母住在一起，她是一個養溫室綠植的天才。可知，作者把蘆薈帶給了他的岳母是為了讓植物得到更好的照顧。故選B。
27．標題歸納題。根據第一段"My grandma passed away last week. My mum began the painful yet necessary task of sorting through her belongings."我奶奶上周去世了。我媽媽開始了一項痛苦但必要的工作：整理她的物品；以及下文可知，本文講述了奶奶去世后，留給了作者一種可愛的植物蘆薈，這種特殊的植物是家人之間的一種活生生的關系，后來作者努力把這種可愛的植物傳播到整個大家庭。"蘆薈：我的家庭紐帶"適合作本文標題。故選B。

【知識點】推理判斷題；詞義猜測題；細節理解題；說明文；學習教育類
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了哥倫比亞大學退出美國大學排名，更多的學校會效仿嗎？并對此現象進行說明和闡述。
【點評】本題考點涉及細節理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇教育類閱讀，通讀全文，理解文章大意，閱讀題目后返回原文閱讀并找出與題目相對應的內容，仔細核對，選擇符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次閱讀并檢查。
28．細節理解題。根據第三段"In the 1980s, potential students started to expand their college search beyond their local area, and it was hard to learn about universities and compare them. Hence, US News began ranking America's top universities in 1983, and has released its findings annually since 1988."在20世紀80年代，潛在的學生開始將他們的大學搜索范圍擴大到當地以外，很難了解大學并進行比較。因此，《美國新聞與世界報道》從1983年開始對美國頂尖大學進行排名，并從1988年開始每年發布一次排名結果。可知，在20世紀80年代，《美國新聞與世界報道》開始提供美國大學排名，讓畢業生了解到他們居住地以外的大學的情況，填補了過去的信息空白。故選A。
29．詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的"Universities have put in significant effort to move up in the ratings."大學為提高排名付出了巨大的努力；以及"…class sizes to enhance student engagement and guarantee class quality."……班級規模，提高學生參與度，保證課堂質量；和"Consequently, it moved from 127th in 2003 to 44th this year."因此，從2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。可知，為了提升大學排名，Richard Freeland前東北大學校長作出了限制班級規模的應對措施，因此東北大學從2003年的127位上升到今年的44位。劃線詞capped與limited"限制"同義。故選D。
30．推理判斷題。根據第五段中的"Universities have tried to get rid of it before, only to find that doing so can backfire badly. US News still ranks non-participating universities, using publicly available information, and the data often do not go in their favour. Columbia did not submit data for this year's analysis, and its ranking fell from second in 2021-22 to 18th in 2022-23."大學以前也曾試圖擺脫它，結果發現這樣做可能會適得其反。《美國新聞與世界報道》仍然使用公開信息對未參與排名的大學進行排名，而數據往往不利于這些大學。哥倫比亞大學沒有提交今年分析的數據，其排名從2021-22年度的第二名降至2022-23年度的第18名。可知，大學不與美國新聞與世界報道》合作，《美國新聞與世界報道》仍然使用公開信息對未參與排名的大學進行排名，而數據往往不利于這些大學。可推知，如果一所大學不與《美國新聞與世界報道》合作，它的排名可能會因此受到影響。故選C。
31．細節理解題。根據最后一段中的"It is moving away from metrics (度量標準) that rely on reputation and towards student outcomes. "它正在從依賴聲譽的指標轉向學生的成績。可知，未來，《美國新聞與世界報道》的本科排名可能會更多地關注大學畢業生的成就。故選D。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了在現代社會中，人們常會對充滿玩心的成年人持否定態度，但事實上，"玩"這一活動非常重要，可以幫助人們培養各種素質，從而能夠更好地解決問題。
【點評】本題考點涉及細節理解，推理判斷和主旨大意三個題型的考查，是一篇社會現象類閱讀；首先要仔細閱讀短文，掌握大意，然后結合具體的題目，再讀短文，從中找出相關信息，就可以確定正確答案。
32．細節理解題。根據第一段"After a heavy snowstorm, I ran outside excitedly to build a snowman. No matter how I rolled my snowball, it refused to grow. After resting for a while, I restarted the job. Then I noticed I had an audience-a prim-looking (古板的) couple with obvious disapproval. My face turned red as I tried to answer their unspoken question: Don't you have anything better to do "一場大雪過后，我興奮地跑到屋外堆雪人。無論我怎么滾雪球，它就是不長大。休息了一會兒后，我又開始堆雪人。然后我注意到有觀眾——一對古板的夫婦，明顯不贊同我的做法。我臉紅了，試圖回答他們未說出口的問題——難道你就沒有更好的事情可做嗎？；以及第二段中的"An adult playing by herself seems strange, but maybe it shouldn't."成年人獨自玩耍似乎很奇怪，但也許不應該如此。可知，一對夫婦看到作者一個成年人在堆雪人，認為作者的這種行為很奇怪，這令作者感到尷尬，因而臉紅了。故選A。
33．推理判斷題。根據第三段中的"This finding also suggests somewhere in our evolutionary history — a playful human invented stone tools. Even today, the urge to play accounts for some of humans' greatest inventions. "這一發現還表明，在我們的進化史中，好玩的人類曾發明過石器。即使在今天，好玩的欲望也是人類最偉大發明的一部分。可推知，成年人玩耍可以為有用的創作做出貢獻。故選B。
34．細節理解題。根據第四段中的"Humans took one giant step away from fun when we started planting crops. Plowing (耕) fields is hard and boring. Then we invented factories and lost sight of play."人類開始種植莊稼后，就離樂趣又遠了一大步。耕田既辛苦又無聊。然后我們發明了工廠，就不再關注玩樂了。可知，農業出現后，農耕辛苦又枯燥，讓人們失去了玩的樂趣，故選A。
35．主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文介紹了在現代社會中，人們常會對充滿玩心的成年人持否定態度，但事實上，"玩"這一活動非常重要，可以幫助人們培養各種素質，從而能夠更好地解決問題，可推知"為什么成年人需要騰出時間玩耍"適合作文章標題，故選C。
