B
I was born with a rare disorder, for which I’ve lived with pain, both physical and mental, my whole life. But things blew up in 2020 when I changed my job. And when I realized that I needed to slow down, I took up things that required presence. So I slowed down. I took up birding, which required a huge amount of awareness. I added it to my self- care routine.
To combine my new- found hobby with my long- standing passion: travel, my husband and I planned a trip to Guatemala.
Knut, our guide, picked us up before dawn. We drove in sleepy silence to a nature reserve, where Knut purposefully pulled over at a seemingly random place. Knut said it was a meeting place of owls（貓頭鷹）, a great spot to see one.
In the completely black forest, unknown birds blew their evil clown whistles. “I can’t see my hand in front of my face. How am I going to spot an owl ” I thought.
Knut pulled a speaker out. Then it let out a long calling sound. We waited and waited. Nothing happened.
Just as dawn was breaking and I was losing interest, a non- digital sound rang out. Our owl friend landed in a nearby tree where I could barely make out its black shape. Knut quickly readied the scope and shone a flashlight about five feet away from the bird. Watching the details of every feather through the scope, I muttered, “Thanks owl, thanks universe.” After a few minutes, the bird disappeared without a sound.
More than 60 different species later, our two-day expedition was over and Knut invited us to his yard to go over “the checklist.” Lists can memorialize a field day. While we were deeply involved in checking, Knut interrupted at times to point out who was visiting his bird feeders. A clan, a red star... I held my breath when the violet sabrewing humming bird touched down. Honestly, who designed these things Incredible. At that moment, I realized that hiking with Knut was a huge success, but observing the birds in his yard was definitely the highlight.
Now, I still like birding, which keeps reminding me that if I slow down and pay attention, what I’m looking for is usually right in front of me.
24．Why did the author start birding
A．To follow advice. B．To explore nature.
C．To escape job stress. D．To practice self-care.
25．How did the author feel when she saw the owl
A．Anxious. B．Depressed.
C．Grateful. D．Calm.
26．Which part of the journey did the author like best
A．Getting to know Knut.
B．Birding in Knut’s yard.
C．Going over the “checklist”.
D．Hiking in a nature reserve.
27．What can we learn from the passage
A．Slowing down shows what lies in front.
B．Pursuing passion is the path to success.
C．Experiencing misfortune is a valuable lesson.
D．Being patience achieves what seems impossible.
C
Deep Sea: To Mine Or Not To Mine
A robot as large as a truck moves along the bottom of the deep sea. It eats metallic（含金屬的）rock and soft mud. They travel up a long pipe to a ship, where workers and machinery separate out the rock and throw the mud back into the ocean. This is a mining operation. The rock contains a mixture of metals, including ones called rare earth metals. People use these materials to make batteries and electronics like computers and phones.
Deep-sea mining hasn’t happened yet. But it probably will occur within the next decade. No country owns any part of the deep sea, so a UN organization called the International Seabed Authority（ISA）decides who is allowed to mine there. It has allowed 29 organizations to explore the deep sea and make plans for mining, one of which plans to begin mining in the year 2027．
Scientists and environmentalists, though, warn that mining could destroy deep-sea ecosystem. In 1989, ecologist Hjalmar Thiel carried out a test. His team searched the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean, in a spot with lots of the metallic rocks that miners wanted. They didn’t actually collect any of the rocks. But they disturbed the mud, just as a mining operation would. The cloud of mud fell back down over the ocean floor burying creatures living there. Up to now, the area they disturbed has not recovered. Signs of the search are still there. Deep sea creatures like sponges and corals have not moved back in. That means mining could have detrimental, long-lasting consequences for deep ocean life. Scientists want to understand the deep sea better before disturbing it.
Leaving the deep sea alone sounds great, but people need those metals. “Mines on land are soon going to run out,” geologist Steven Scott of the University of Toronto told Smithsonian Magazine.“ Every electronic device in the world has rare earth metals in it... we need raw resources.” New energy technologies including solar and wind power and electric cars rely on these metals as well. We may need to mine them from the sea in order to switch to greener energy sources.
28．According to the passage, why do people want to carry out deep sea mining
A．To collect rare earth metals. B．To separate the rock from mud.
C．To test the mining robot. D．To understand the deep sea better.
29．What can we infer from the test of Hjalmar Thiel in 1989
A．They gathered some metallic rocks the miners wanted.
B．They helped the recovery of the disturbed mining areas.
C．They discovered the deep-sea mining had affected the ocean ecology.
D．They found the rare metallic rocks were harmful to sea creatures.
30．What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean
A．Appealing. B．Harmful.
C．Helpful. D．Impressive.
31．What is Steven Scolt’s attitude towards deep-sea mining
A．Doubtful. B．Neutral.
C．Disapproving. D．Supportive.
D
You spend a third of your life asleep, a certain part of which involves dreaming. But most often, you don’t remember any of your dreams.
While the exact reason of why we can hardly recall our dreams is not fully known, scientists have gotten some insight into memory processes during sleep, leading to several ideas that may explain our forgetfulness.
You are awake, but is your hippocampus（海馬體）awake When we fall asleep, not all the brain’s regions go offline at the same time. Researchers have found one of the last regions to go to sleep is the hippocampus, a structure in brain that is important for moving information from short-term memory into long-term memory.
“If the hippocampus is the last to go to sleep, it could very well be the last to wake up,” said Thomas Andrillon, a neuroscientist at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. “So, you could have this window where you wake up with a dream in your short-term memory, but since the hippocampus is not fully awake yet, your brain is not able to keep that memory,” Andrillon told Live Science.
While this might explain why dream memories are so fleeting, it doesn’t mean that your hippocampus has been inactive throughout the night. In fact, this region is quite active during sleep, and appears to be storing and caring for existing memories to strengthen them, instead of listening for incoming new experiences.
Sometimes your dreams are just not memorable Do you remember what you were thinking about this morning when brushing your teeth Our minds wander all the time, but we get rid of most of those thoughts as unimportant information. Dreams, especially ordinary ones, may be just like daydreaming thoughts and believed by the brain to be too useless to remember. But dreams that are more vivid, emotional and coherent（連貫的）seem to be better remembered-perhaps because they cause more awakening, and their organized story makes them easier to store.
If you are interested in improving your dream recall, there are a few tricks to try. One is drinking water before bed, because it will make you wake up at night to use the bathroom. These middle-of-the-night awakenings are frequently accompanied by dream recall.
Repeatedly reminding yourself that you want to remember your dreams may increase your chances, and so does keeping a dream journal, some studies have suggested. Upon waking up, hang on to that fragile（脆弱的）dream memory: keep your eyes closed, stay still and replay the dream memory, until your hippocampus catches up and properly stores the memory.
32．You can’t remember your dreams when you wake up probably because ______ .
A．you are forgetful and poor in remembering things.
B．your dreams are vivid, emotional and coherent.
C．your brain needs to start up to move dreams into long-term memory
D．your hippocampus is active in receiving new information
33．What can we learn about dreams from the passage
A．Dreaming means processing memory during sleeping.
B．Dreams come from your hippocampus.
C．We need special trainings to recall our dreams.
D．Dreams are sometimes useless for us to remember.
34．Which of the following CANNOT help you to recall a dream
A．Improve the ability of your hippocampus to catch up information.
B．Keep reminding yourself of the need to remember your dreams.
C．Record what you can remember in your dreams upon awakening.
D．Think back on the things in your dreams directly after you wake up.
35．What is the best title for the passage
A．How to Train Your Brain to Remember Dreams
B．The Mystery of Dreaming: Why We Forget Our Dreams
C．The Role of the Hippocampus in Sleep and Memory
D．Dreams and Daydreams: Useless or Meaningful
第二節(jié) 七選五（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。
The World Water Day has been celebrated annually on 22 March since1992．Each year has a different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work, ways to stop wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.
36________ But it is also vital for sanitation（衛(wèi)生）. It is estimated that more than 700 children under the age of seven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation. The right to water and sanitation was recognized as a human right. 37________ These include rural communities, people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts and areas where climate change is making water more and more scarcer.
Apart from the obvious health issues, a lack of accessible clean water means that people - often women and children - spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies. This means they don’t have time to dedicate to work, studies and other domestic duties. 38________ And people who are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly vulnerable.（脆弱的）
There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different communities around the world. 39________ But the fundamental problem of increasing demand for a limited resource can only be addressed by more efficient use of water, especially in industry and agriculture. Waste-water recycling, capturing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques and reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently.
40________ We should support charities, raise awareness, take part in the World Water Day events that are happening all around the world and, of course, be careful with how we use water in our own lives. Visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us. Follow world water day on social media and help spread the word about this incredibly important issue.
A．Clean drinking water is fundamental.
B．As individuals, what can we do to help the issue
C．The search for water becomes their main occupation.
D．This important work needs to continue and to expand.
E．Every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning.
F．In normal conditions, the human body can only survive three or four days without water.
G．However, there are still at least 2.1 billion people around the world living without safe water.

Should You Listen to Music When You Work
Do you like to listen to music when you work
Ask this question at a party, and you’ll probably get 41 responses. Some will say they love it, claiming that it improves their performance; others will say they find it distracting（分散注意力的）and cannot work 42 with music playing in the background.
Interestingly enough, our research has found that both of these viewpoints can be true. It just 43 on what sort of work you’re doing.
In a recent study, we brought participants into our lab to perform a variety of tasks. They included a（n） 44 task—searching through word lists and crossing out words containing the letter “a” and a more difficult task—memorizing word pairs and 45 word to its partner. Some participants completed all of the tasks in silence, 46 others completed the tasks with instrumental music that was either loud or soft, and either simple or complex, the latter meaning music with more instruments being played. Several key findings 47 from our study.
We found that participants who listened to simple music or no music performed about the same on the easy task. However, participants who listened to 48 music performed best on the easy task.
On the contrary, participants performed worse on the more difficult task when they listened to any music, regardless of complexity or volume, compared to those who didn’t listen to any music.
How should we 49 these findings
We suggest that people have limited mental resources from which both 50 and tasks can draw. We can become 51 and our minds may wander when these resources are not fully used. But we also can become over-excited and 52 when these resources are used up.
Not surprisingly, we typically need to use fewer of our mental resources when we perform easy tasks, whereas demanding tasks require more brainpower. However, because we might be less 53 during easier tasks, there’s a greater risk of drifting off（走神）. Music might give us the extra 54 we need to overcome the monotony（單調(diào)）. However, difficult tasks already demand a lot of our resources. Listening to music can become too much.
So best 55 should appear when we strike “sweet spot”, which may depend on the type of music and the type of task.
41 A．fixed B．similar C．positive D．various
42 A．immediately B．effectively C．exactly D．happily
43 A．carries B．focuses C．depends D．takes

48 A．dull B．reliable C．complex D．necessary
49 A．make up for B．make up C．make use of D．make out
50 A．work B．music C．study D．culture
51 A．surprised B．proud C．a(chǎn)fraid D．bored
52 A．interested B．worried C．a(chǎn)ttracted D．distracted

Mr. and Mrs. Morrison had been married for 25 years. They raised two children, Emily and Lucas, in a house that was always filled with laughter and love.
Emily, now a young woman studying art in college, often returned home on weekends. Lucas, the younger brother, was in his final year of high school, and his future was like an unwritten story.
One cool autumn evening, as the smell of Mrs. Morrison’s famous apple pie filled the kitchen, there was an awkward（尷尬的）silence between Lucas and his parents. Mrs. Morrison noticed it first, the way Lucas avoided eye contact when he spoke. Mr. Morrison also sensed the unease（不安）but chose to let it go, hoping Lucas would open up in his own time.
Later that night, after dinner had been served and the dishes cleared away, Lucas sat by the table with his parents.
“Mom, Dad,” Lucas began, “there’s something I need to talk to you about.”
The couple looked at each other, concerned and curious. “Of course, honey,” Mrs. Morrison said gently. “You know you can talk to us about anything.”
Lucas had been playing the guitar and writing songs for years. “I’ve been thinking a lot about my future lately,” he said, raising his voice. “I’ve decided to take a gap（間隔）year... I want to practice music skills.”
There was a long silence before the conversation continued. Mr. Morrison, who was lost in deep thought, looked at his son. Mrs. Morrison’s eyes widened, with a look of surprise crossing her face.
“Music ” Mr. Morrison finally spoke, his voice still filled with concern. “Lucas, you’ve never mentioned this before. What about your plans for college ”
Lucas looked up, knowing this was the moment he had feared, yet he knew it would come. “Music has been my favourite for years,” he said. “I expect to see where music could take me.”
