A Unique Summer Schl
Every spring, Alexandra Jnes, funder f Archaelgy in the Cmmunity, ges t St. Crix and talks t kids at the Caribbean Center fr Bys and Girls. She leads the yuth field prgram. Jnes describes what the Estate Little Princess Archaelgical Field Schl des at the Estate Little Princess and explains 1 kids can take part. Any girl r by, ages 12 and up, frm anywhere n the island can apply, as lng as they belng t the Center fr Bys and Girls. The prgram lasts a week and takes 2 maximum f 15 kids. Abut half are middle schlers.
Later that summer, Jnes and the grup f kids begin their week at the Estate Little Princess. The archaelgists (考古學(xué)家) are wrking in the area 3 the enslaved peple’s village nce std. In 1786, 127 enslaved Africans lived in 53 huses there. Tday, their hmes are lng gne. Jnes explains, “Fr the mst part the enslaved village area is vergrwn with vegetatin, 4 (make) it extremely difficult t survey and unearth.” This is where the kids wrk, side-by-side with the archaelgists, 5 (uncver) the past.
On the kids’ first day, Jnes teaches students what archaelgy is and hw artifacts, bjects made and used by peple in the past, 6 (put) int grups. They’ll classify what they find 7 the material the bjects were made frm - glass, pttery, bne, and s n. The kids g t the site and watch the archaelgists at wrk. That way, they can see what the jbs lk like as they 8 (happen). Jnes divides the kids int tw grups. Sme will be at the site, while thers are in the lab. The kids start wrk n the secnd day. The grup at the site excavates (挖掘): they dig thrugh the dirt, sift it, and place what they find int artifact bags. The grup at the lab wash, classify, and recrd the artifacts s the archaelgists can study them later.
“The kids lve it!” Jnes says. “Each has smething they’re drawn t, 9 it’s being the first t find smething that hasn’t been tuched in 80 t 100 years, r being the first persn t wash it r see it 10 (wash), s they can really get a gd view f what it is.”

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要講述了Alexandra Jnes在圣克羅伊島開(kāi)展的考古夏令校項(xiàng)目,讓孩子們參與考古工作。
1.考查賓語(yǔ)從句。句意:Jnes描述了Estate Little Princess考古野外學(xué)校做什么,并解釋了孩子們?nèi)绾螀⒓?。根?jù)空前explains可知,空處需用連接詞hw引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句,在從句中作方式狀語(yǔ),表示“解釋孩子們?nèi)绾螀⒓印薄9侍頷w。
2.考查冠詞。句意:該項(xiàng)目持續(xù)一周,最多可容納15名孩子。a maximum f“最多……”。故填a。
3.考查定語(yǔ)從句。句意:考古學(xué)家們正在那個(gè)奴隸村莊曾經(jīng)所在的地方工作。空處需用關(guān)系詞引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。先行詞是the area,且關(guān)系詞在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ),所以需要關(guān)系副詞where引導(dǎo)該從句。故填where。
4.考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:瓊斯解釋說(shuō):“奴隸村莊的大部分地區(qū)雜草叢生,這使得調(diào)查和發(fā)掘工作變得極其困難?!笨仗幮栌矛F(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語(yǔ),表示自然而然的結(jié)果。故填making。
5.考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:孩子們與考古學(xué)家并肩工作,揭開(kāi)過(guò)去。這里表示目的,即孩子們工作的目的是揭露歷史,應(yīng)使用不定式t uncver。故填t uncver。
6.考查時(shí)態(tài)和語(yǔ)態(tài)。句意:在孩子們的第一天,瓊斯教學(xué)生考古學(xué)是什么,以及過(guò)去的物品,即人們過(guò)去制造和使用的物品,是如何分類(lèi)的??仗帪閺木涞闹^語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)空前is可知,句子為一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),且該動(dòng)詞和主語(yǔ)artifacts之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系,所以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)的的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故填are put。
7.考查介詞。句意:他們將根據(jù)物體的材料對(duì)發(fā)現(xiàn)的物品進(jìn)行分類(lèi)——玻璃、陶器、骨頭等等。根據(jù)空后the material可知,空處需用介詞by表示“根據(jù),通過(guò)”。故填by。
8.考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意:這樣,他們可以看到這些工作是如何發(fā)生的。as引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句,表達(dá)事情發(fā)生的同時(shí)性,空處為從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,且此處描述的是正在進(jìn)行的動(dòng)作,所以使用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)。故填are happening。
9.考查連詞。句意:每個(gè)人都有他們被吸引的東西,無(wú)論是第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)80到100年沒(méi)被動(dòng)過(guò)的東西,還是第一個(gè)洗它或看它被洗的人,所以他們真的能看到它是什么。根據(jù)r可知,空處需用連詞whether,構(gòu)成短語(yǔ)whether…r…表示“無(wú)論……還是……”。故填whether。
10.考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。句意:每個(gè)人都有他們被吸引的東西,無(wú)論是第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)80到100年沒(méi)被動(dòng)過(guò)的東西,還是第一個(gè)洗它或看它被洗的人,所以他們真的能看到它是什么。空處需用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞作賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ),動(dòng)詞wash與邏輯主語(yǔ)it構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系,需用過(guò)去分詞形式washed作賓補(bǔ)。故填washed。
Sectin B
Directins: Fill in each blank with a prper wrd chsen frm the bx. Each wrd can be used nly nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
D yu ever draw? Mst f us dn’t, and the reasn we usually leave drawing t the artists is because we’re nt very gd at it. Wh wants t d smething they’re bad at? But maybe we shuld rethink this 11 , especially since drawing has s many benefits, whether yu are an artist r nt.
We shuld 12 this idea: What if drawing was just a lw-stakes thing we did because we enjyed it and it helped us see the wrld better?
“We have missed the significance f drawing because we see it as a 13 skill instead f a persnal capacity,” writes design histrian D.B.Dwd in his bk, “Stick Figures: Drawing as a Human Practice.” “This essential cnfusin has 14 ur understanding f drawing and kept it frm being seen as a tl fr learning abve all else.”
Here’s an example: Yu might enjy eating at a restaurant that basts an 15 chef, and yu may als enjy a great pasta dish yu make at hme. One desn’t 16 the ther; yu can appreciate a meticulusly assembled meal as much as a hmemade ne-they’re just different. The same is true fr drawing.
Sitting (r standing!) with a pad and pencil, drawing smething yu see r imagine requires fcus and a 17 quiet mind, smething many f us are lking t cultivate. The first few minutes int the 18 might be a bit frustrating and distracting, but keep ging. I’ve fund that nce I settle int it, I get better at the actual drawing part, and it’s mre enjyable. But especially if yu aren’t used t drawing, yu might be itching t run away and d smething-anything-else at the start. T deal with yur 19 , give yurself a time limit. Set a timer fr 20 minutes; that shuld give yu enugh time t put in a genuine effrt and get t the pint where yur mind will quiet dwn. Yu can always keep ging if yu want, but that timer will at the very least allw yu t take yur mind ff utside 20 .
【答案】
11.H 12.C 13.A 14.J 15.E 16.B 17.G 18.F 19.D 20.I
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】
這是一篇說(shuō)明文。我們大多數(shù)人都不喜歡畫(huà)畫(huà),而我們通常把畫(huà)畫(huà)留給藝術(shù)家的原因是因?yàn)槲覀儾惶瞄L(zhǎng)畫(huà)畫(huà)。但作者認(rèn)為應(yīng)該將畫(huà)畫(huà)當(dāng)成一種更好地觀察世界的方式,畫(huà)畫(huà)需要專(zhuān)注和相對(duì)安靜的思維,這是我們很多人都想要培養(yǎng)的。以及說(shuō)明了一種有助于專(zhuān)心繪畫(huà)的方法。
11.
考查名詞。句意:但也許我們應(yīng)該重新思考這個(gè)假設(shè),尤其是繪畫(huà)有這么多好處,不管是不是藝術(shù)家。分析句意可知,本句中缺少賓語(yǔ),填寫(xiě)名詞assumptin“假設(shè)”,用于指前文出現(xiàn)的“Mst f us dn’t, and the reasn we usually leave drawing t the artists is because we’re nt very gd at it.( 我們中的大多數(shù)人都沒(méi)有,我們通常把繪畫(huà)留給藝術(shù)家的原因是因?yàn)槲覀儾惶瞄L(zhǎng)繪畫(huà)。)”假設(shè),符合語(yǔ)境。故選H。
12.
考查動(dòng)詞。句意:我們應(yīng)該考慮這個(gè)想法:如果繪畫(huà)只是我們因?yàn)槲覀兿矚g而做的一件低風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的事情,而且它幫助我們更好地看待世界呢?分析句意可知,本句中缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,使用動(dòng)詞cnsider表示“考慮”,語(yǔ)義通順,符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。
13.
考查形容詞。句意:我們誤解了繪畫(huà)的意義,因?yàn)槲覀冋J(rèn)為它是一種專(zhuān)業(yè)技能,而不是個(gè)人能力。分析句意可知,skill“技能”為名詞需要形容詞修飾,使用形容詞prfessinal表示“專(zhuān)業(yè)的”語(yǔ)義通順,符合語(yǔ)境。故選A。
14.
考查時(shí)態(tài)。句意:這種本質(zhì)上的困惑阻礙了我們對(duì)繪畫(huà)的理解,也讓它不再被視為學(xué)習(xí)的工具。分析句意可知,此句缺謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,且需要使用動(dòng)詞的過(guò)去分詞形式,構(gòu)成現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),故填寫(xiě)hindered“阻礙”符合語(yǔ)境。故選J。
15.
考查形容詞。句意:這里有一個(gè)例子:你可能喜歡在一家自夸擁有令人難以置信的廚師的餐廳吃飯,你也可能喜歡在家做的一道很棒的面食。分析句意可知,此處chef“廚師”前需要使用形容詞作定語(yǔ),形容詞incredible“難以置信的”語(yǔ)義符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。
16.
考查動(dòng)詞。句意:一個(gè)并不排斥另一個(gè);你能夠欣賞精心準(zhǔn)備的飯菜,就像喜歡自制的飯菜一樣——它們只是不同而已。分析句意可知,本句中缺少謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞,且根據(jù)上文desn’t可知應(yīng)填動(dòng)詞原形,故使用動(dòng)詞exclude“排斥”,用于描述上文提出兩種截然不同的飯菜的關(guān)系,符合語(yǔ)境。故選B。
17.
考查副詞。句意:坐著(或站著?。?,拿著畫(huà)板和鉛筆,畫(huà)一些你能看到或想象到的東西,需要專(zhuān)注和相對(duì)安靜的思維,這是我們很多人都想要培養(yǎng)的。分析句意可知,此處修飾形容詞quiet“安靜的”,應(yīng)用副詞,故relatively“相對(duì)地”符合語(yǔ)境。故選G。
18.
考查名詞。句意:最初進(jìn)入創(chuàng)作的幾分鐘可能會(huì)有點(diǎn)令人沮喪,且讓人分心,但是堅(jiān)持下去。分析句意可知,此處定冠詞后需要使用名詞作介詞int的賓語(yǔ)。而前文提及的是drawing smething“畫(huà)一些東西”,屬于創(chuàng)作,故名詞cmpsitin“創(chuàng)作”符合語(yǔ)境。故選F。
19.
考查名詞。句意:為了應(yīng)對(duì)你的不安,給自己一個(gè)時(shí)間限制。分析句意可知,yur為形容詞性物主代詞修飾名詞,故應(yīng)該填名詞。且后文“where yur mind will quiet dwn. (這個(gè)點(diǎn)上你的心能靜下來(lái)。)”說(shuō)明要應(yīng)對(duì)的是“不安”,即名詞restlessness。故選D。
20.
考查名詞。句意:如果你想的話,你可以一直做下去,但那個(gè)計(jì)時(shí)器至少可以讓你把注意力從外界的干擾上移開(kāi)。分析句意可知,utside“外面的”,為形容詞后接名詞, distractin意為“干擾”符合語(yǔ)境。故選I。

Deliberatin is nt always the best ptin
Humans have develped ver millins f years f evlutin t respnd t certain situatins withut thinking t hard. If yur ancestrs 21 mvement in the undergrwth, they wuld run first and ask questins later. At the same time, the 22 t analyse and t plan is part f what distinguishes peple frm ther animals.

Deliberative thinking is the feature f a well-managed wrkplace. Strategic changes and budget discussins are built n runds f meetings, mems, frmulas and presentatins.

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章主要向我們說(shuō)明了深思熟慮并不總是最好的選擇,某些時(shí)候,直覺(jué)的優(yōu)勢(shì)更大。
21.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意:如果你的祖先發(fā)現(xiàn)灌木叢中有動(dòng)靜,他們會(huì)先跑,然后再問(wèn)問(wèn)題。A.uncvered揭露;B.sptted發(fā)現(xiàn);C.blcked阻礙;D.encuntered遭遇。由上文“Humans have develped ver millins f years f evlutin t respnd t certain situatins withut thinking t hard.”可知講述了人類(lèi)經(jīng)過(guò)數(shù)百萬(wàn)年的進(jìn)化,已經(jīng)能夠不費(fèi)吹灰之力地對(duì)某些情況作出反應(yīng),即發(fā)現(xiàn)某些情況,可以立即作出反應(yīng),故推知“If yur ancestrs __mvement in the undergrwth, they wuld run first and ask questins later.”表述的是如果你的祖先發(fā)現(xiàn)灌木叢中有動(dòng)靜,他們會(huì)先跑,然后再問(wèn)問(wèn)題,即發(fā)現(xiàn)某些情況會(huì)立即作出反應(yīng),承接了前文所述內(nèi)容;故選B項(xiàng)。
22.考查名詞詞義辨析。句意:同時(shí),分析和計(jì)劃的能力也是人類(lèi)區(qū)別于其他動(dòng)物的部分原因。A.capacity能力;B.mtive原因,動(dòng)機(jī);C.reluctance勉強(qiáng);D.urge沖動(dòng)。由本句“At the same time, the _2_t analyse and t plan is part f what distinguishes peple frm ther animals.”可知提到了人類(lèi)與其他動(dòng)物的區(qū)別,常識(shí)可知人類(lèi)之所以要比其他動(dòng)物高級(jí),就是具有其他動(dòng)物所不具備的某些方面的能力,故推知本處表述的是分析和計(jì)劃的能力也是人類(lèi)區(qū)別于其他動(dòng)物的部分原因;故選A項(xiàng)。
23.考查名詞詞義辨析。句意:什么時(shí)候該相信自己的直覺(jué),什么時(shí)候該檢驗(yàn)自己的假設(shè)——用心理學(xué)家Daniel Kahneman的話來(lái)說(shuō),是快速思考還是慢速思考——這個(gè)問(wèn)題在辦公室里和在大草原上一樣要緊。A.cnsultatin磋商;B.anticipatin期盼;C.assumptins假設(shè);D.reactin反應(yīng)。由本句“The questin f when t trust yur gut(直覺(jué))and when t test yur __3_ —whether t think fast r slw ,in the language f Daniel Kahneman, a psychlgist”可知用Daniel Kahneman的話來(lái)說(shuō),憑借直覺(jué)來(lái)判斷即是快速思考,而慢速思考則是與快速思考相反的,即與憑借直覺(jué)判斷是相反的,推知慢速思考即是通過(guò)慢慢檢驗(yàn)自己的假設(shè),然后才作出判斷;故空處表達(dá)的是“假設(shè)”;故選C項(xiàng)。
24.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意:什么時(shí)候該相信自己的直覺(jué),什么時(shí)候該檢驗(yàn)自己的假設(shè)——用心理學(xué)家Daniel Kahneman的話來(lái)說(shuō),是快速思考還是慢速思考——這個(gè)問(wèn)題在辦公室里和在大草原上一樣要緊。A.integrates使結(jié)合;B.matters要緊;C. wrks工作;D.abuses虐待。由文章第一段“If yur ancestrs___mvement in the undergrwth, they wuld run first and ask questins later.”可知祖先們遇到異常情況會(huì)先跑再問(wèn),是因?yàn)樗麄兯娴沫h(huán)境是非常險(xiǎn)惡的,所以快速思考和慢速思考在大草原上很重要;文章第三段“Deliberative thinking is the feature f a well-managed wrkplace”提到了深思熟慮在職場(chǎng)的重要性;文章第四段“Yet instinct als has its place.”可知提到了本能在職場(chǎng)的一席之位;故推知本處“whether t think fast r slw, in the language f Daniel Kahneman, a psychlgist—__4_ in the ffice as much as it des in the savannah(大草原).”講述的是快速思考還是慢速思考在辦公室和大草原一樣要緊;故選B項(xiàng)。
25.考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)詞義辨析。句意:程序越來(lái)越多地被設(shè)計(jì)用來(lái)消滅本能反應(yīng)。A.bring ut拿出;B.pick ut挑選;C.make ut起草;D.stamp ut消滅。由上文“Strategic changes and budget discussins are built n runds f meetings, mems, frmulas and presentatins.”可知戰(zhàn)略變革和預(yù)算討論建立在一輪又一輪的會(huì)議、備忘錄、公式和演講之上,即在作出決策之前,要經(jīng)過(guò)很多道程序,經(jīng)過(guò)一次又一次的討論,這樣所作出的決策全是深思熟慮后的結(jié)果,完全消滅了由本能所作出的反應(yīng);故選D項(xiàng)。
27.考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意:有些決定更多地與情緒反應(yīng)有關(guān),本質(zhì)上難以進(jìn)行分析。A.manageable可做到的;B.adaptable有適應(yīng)能力的;C.familiar相似的;D.sensitive敏感的。由本句“Sme decisins are mre cnnected t emtinal respnses and inherently(固有的)less__7_t analysis.”可知一些決定更多地與情緒反應(yīng)有關(guān),即主觀性因素較多,這個(gè)就難以以理性思維來(lái)分析了,less manageable 是難做到的,符合題意,故選A項(xiàng)。
28.考查名詞詞義辨析。句意:市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)活動(dòng)是否抓住了你公司的精髓,或者說(shuō),這個(gè)人是否能與團(tuán)隊(duì)中的其他人很好地合作?A.attentin注意;B.pprtunity機(jī)會(huì);C.status地位;D.essence精髓。由本段第一句“Yet instinct als has its place.”可知講述了本能也站一席之地的;下句“In__9_custmer-service situatins, intuitin is ften a better guide t hw t behave than a script.”提到了直覺(jué)通常是更好的行為指南,推知本句“Des a marketing campaign capture the _8_ f yur cmpany, say, r wuld this persn wrk well with ther peple in a team?”表達(dá)的意思營(yíng)銷(xiāo)活動(dòng)是否讓你公司直接并精確受益,即是否抓住你公司的精髓,完全依靠經(jīng)過(guò)深思熟慮的營(yíng)銷(xiāo)政策能否解決問(wèn)題?或者說(shuō)篩選出來(lái)的人是否能與團(tuán)隊(duì)中其他人合作?這些都意在表明有些時(shí)候直覺(jué)還是能被利用上的,深思熟慮后制定的政策并不適用于一切場(chǎng)合,本句與本段第一句主旨相符,故推知空處表示“精髓”;故選D項(xiàng)。
29.考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意:在棘手的客戶服務(wù)情況下,直覺(jué)往往是比腳本更好的行為指南。A.rugh粗糙的;B.tugh棘手的;C.nervus神經(jīng)緊張的;D.neutral中立的。由本句“In__9_custmer-service situatins, intuitin is ften a better guide t hw t behave than a script.”可知提到直覺(jué)是更好的行為指南,這是在某種情況下,推知如果在簡(jiǎn)單容易的客戶服務(wù)里,就按照制定好的策略執(zhí)行就行了,但是在棘手的情況下,那直覺(jué)發(fā)揮的作用就比制定好的腳本更適用了,故推知空處表示的是“棘手的”,用tugh;故選B項(xiàng)。
30.考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意:直覺(jué)也可以得到改善。A.imprved改善;B. cpied復(fù)制;C.transferred轉(zhuǎn)移;D.weakened變?nèi)?。由下文“Plenty f research has shwn that intuitin becmes mre unfailing with experience.”可知大量的研究表明,直覺(jué)在經(jīng)驗(yàn)的幫助下變得更加可靠,因?yàn)槲恼虑懊娑温湟恢痹趶?qiáng)調(diào)很多情況下深思熟慮取代本能直覺(jué),肯定是憑借直覺(jué)判斷有很大不足才會(huì)被深思熟慮所取代,而本處提到了直覺(jué)在經(jīng)驗(yàn)的幫助下會(huì)變更可靠,這個(gè)就是直覺(jué)的一個(gè)改善,故空處表示“改善”;故選A項(xiàng)。

It’s a classic stry: A kid is frced t learn an instrument frm a yung age, they play it thrughut their childhd, and they develp a bittersweet relatinship with it. Is the cnstant battle between the lve fr the music and the hate fr the cnstant challenge wrth the fight? Fr me, it was.
I started playing the pian when I was fur-that was 15 years ag! This was huge cmmitment, s there must have been smething wrth hlding n t, right?
The easy guess is that I was purely in lve with music and pian. Althugh that’s the sweeter tale, it’s a bit mre cmplicated. I struggled a lt with pian. Family and peers were, at least in my wn head, cnstantly placed beside me in cmpetitin. I felt pressure t be the best in rder t prve smething t thers-and mre devastatingly (破壞性地) t prve smething t myself. The seed f my musical interest was grwn in the sunlight f cmpetitin and dubt. Hate spruted (滋生) when my self-criticism hit t hard.
It’s difficult t learn t lve smething that didn’t riginate frm lve. Fr a while, pian was mre f an annyance than a hbby. But smehw, lve grew. It was deeply buried. But it was there, and by high schl,it was strng enugh that when I was truly n the verge f quitting any kind f frmal training. I fund the strength t hld n tighter, and dig further. I switched teachers, and gt incredibly lucky with ne wh helped me tunnel int what I lved. I learned pieces fr myself, I cmpsed fr myself, and I fund cnfidence nt because I gt “gd enugh,” but because I learned that anything I had was gd enugh.
The lve and hate I’ve had fr the pian were bth planted and grwn. If yu t have learned t hate smething, remember that with cmmitment, it can be uprted, and lve can make a hme in its place. There is always time. There is always rm.

Almst all humans acquire at least ne language befre the age f five. Hw d yung children understand and prduce cmplex sentences with cmplicated meanings? D adults learn language differently frm children? Mst linguistic (語(yǔ)言學(xué)的) researchers agree that bth nature and nurture (后天) are invlved in language acquisitin. They disagree, hwever, abut hw much linguistic knwledge children have frm birth — and thus whether genetics r experience is mre imprtant in language acquisitin.
Fr many linguists, bilgical factrs are the mst imprtant in language learning. Sme argue that sme linguistic knwledge must exist in ur brains frm birth because children cannt pssibly experience every feature f their language befre the age f five. These linguists pint ut that nearly all children can prduce the same kinds f cmplex sentence structures by the age f five, even withut having heard them befre.
Many researchers have therized what this innate (先天的) linguistic knwledge must lk like. One ppular thery (理論) is universal grammar. This thery believes that all languages have the same basic structural fundatin. That fundatin is the innate knwledge universal t all humans. While children are nt genetically tending t speak a particular language, a universal grammar gives them certain linguistic infrmatin as a starting pint, which allws them t readily acquire the rules and patterns f whichever language they are expsed t.
Nt all linguists, hwever, believe that an inbrn ability fr language is the mst imprtant factr in language acquisitin. These researchers place greater emphasis n the influence f usage and experience. They argue that children are expsed t a wealth f linguistic structures ver the curse f five years. They gather data and determine language patterns and structures frm what they have bserved.
Linguists n bth sides f the debate are still wrking t explain the different language learning abilities f adults and children. Early childhd seems t be an imprtant perid fr mastering certain aspects f language. Children als tend t have a heightened ability t learn secnd languages. While adults may have sme advantages when studying in a frmal classrm, they usually d nt learn secnd languages. While adults may have sme advantages when studying in a frmal classrm, they usually d nt learn as quickly and easily as children. Are these different abilities a result f differences in hw adults and children are expsed t a new language? Are they the result f bilgical changes, r d bth bilgy and experience cme int play?
While ur understanding f language acquisitin is incmplete, this pursuit is well wrth the effrt. “We still dn’t understand hw a child learns its first language, why sme children have language disrders, r hw children and adults learn a secnd language,” explains Prfessr Jan Ma ling.
Explaining the prcess f language acquisitin prmises nt nly t help scientists answer these questins, but als t explain fundamental features f learning and the human brain.
43.What des the passage mainly talk abut?
A.The cntrl f nurture ver nature in language acquisitin.
B.The influence f universal grammar in language acquisitin.
C.The best methds fr children and adults t acquire language.
D.The rle f bilgical and envirnmental factrs in language acquisitin.

A flexible patch culd help peple with vice disrders talk
The human vice, with its unique ability t attract audiences, express lve and smetimes anny neighbrs, is a delibate thing. Dppler’s vcal crds can easily get damaged by stress, infectins, r veruse. 47 . Accrding t a 2005 study, 30% f the ppulatin will experience a vice disrder at sme pint in their life.
Researchers frm the University f Califrnia, Ls Angeles, have develped a sft patch that attaches t the neck, detecting muscle mvements and translating them int clear speech using machine-learning algrithms. Even thugh the device is still in the early stages, it culd be a significant imprvement ver existing cmmunicatin aids fr thse wh have lst their vice. 48 Mre cmplex aids such as electrlarynxes, external devices held against the thrat, r surgical ptins, can be invasive r require special training t use. This patch wuld theretically be able t clean all the bstacles.
The patch wrks based n the magnet-elastic (磁彈性的) effect When magnetic nanparticles are mixed int flexible materials like elastic r silicne, stretching the material can change its magnetic prperties. Every time the material changes shape, the particles either rtate r mve against each ther, altering the material’s magnetic strength. The patch, with its cpper cil brder that creates a stable magnetic field, can precisely track these changes.
49 In a trial with eight participants, the researchers captured the signals as the subjects spke and muthed five different sentences (including: “Hpe yur experiments are ging well!”, “Merry Christmas!” and “I lve yu!”). They then trained a machine-learning mdel t recgnize the distinct patterns f the electrical signals assciated with each sentence. This algrithm was then able t predict which f the five sentences the participants spke — whether alud r in silence — with mre than 90% accuracy.
The patch is als designed t be user-friendly. It stays n even when the skin is sweaty and can be wrn fr 40 minutes withut getting t warm.
Hwever, there is mre wrk t be dne. Fr nw the device can nly recgnize five pre-trained phrases. 50 T make it practical at scale, the researchers will need t cllect a lt mre data.
A.But the magnetizatin f the material hlds great prmise in the future.
B.Plus, individual differences in vcal-crds means the algrithm has t be persnalized t each user.
C.When the thrat muscles mve under the patch, the changes in the magnetic field can als be turned int electrical signals.
D.Currently, peple might resrt t typing, texting, r writing, which can be slw r hard t read in pr light.
E.It is nt just enthusiastic perfrmers wh risk damaging their vices.

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文。文章介紹了靈活的貼片可以幫助患有聲音障礙的人說(shuō)話。
47.根據(jù)空前“Dppler’s vcal crds can easily get damaged by stress, infectins, r veruse.(多普勒聲帶很容易因壓力、感染或過(guò)度使用而受損)”可知,這里提到了聲帶容易受損;以及空后“Accrding t a 2005 study, 30% f the ppulatin will experience a vice disrder at sme pint in their life.(根據(jù) 2005 年的一項(xiàng)研究,30% 的人在一生中的某個(gè)階段會(huì)經(jīng)歷聲音障礙)”可知,聲音障礙不僅局限在經(jīng)常用嗓的人群。E項(xiàng)“It is nt just enthusiastic perfrmers wh risk damaging their vices.(不僅僅是熱情的表演者面臨著嗓子受損的風(fēng)險(xiǎn))”符合語(yǔ)境。故選E。
48.根據(jù)空前“Even thugh the device is still in the early stages, it culd be a significant imprvement ver existing cmmunicatin aids fr thse wh have lst their vice.(盡管該設(shè)備仍處于早期階段,但對(duì)于失聲者來(lái)說(shuō),它可能是對(duì)現(xiàn)有交流輔助工具的重大改進(jìn))”可知,這里提到了交流輔助工具;以及空后“Mre cmplex aids such as electrlarynxes, external devices held against the thrat, r surgical ptins, can be invasive r require special training t use. This patch wuld theretically be able t clean all the bstacles.(更復(fù)雜的輔助設(shè)備,例如電喉、抵住喉嚨的外部設(shè)備或手術(shù)選擇,可能是侵入性的或需要特殊培訓(xùn)才能使用)”可知,復(fù)雜輔助設(shè)備不足,可推斷出前面提到了人們失聲選擇的一般溝通方式以及它們的不足。D項(xiàng)“Currently, peple might resrt t typing, texting, r writing, which can be slw r hard t read in pr light.(目前,人們可能會(huì)求助于打字、發(fā)短信或書(shū)寫(xiě),這些方式可能會(huì)很慢,或者在光線不足的情況下難以閱讀)”符合語(yǔ)境。故選D。
49.設(shè)空位置位于段首,起到統(tǒng)領(lǐng)本段大意的作用,根據(jù)下文“In a trial with eight participants, the researchers captured the signals as the subjects spke and muthed five different sentences (including: “Hpe yur experiments are ging well!”, “Merry Christmas!” and “I lve yu!”). They then trained a machine-learning mdel t recgnize the distinct patterns f the electrical signals assciated with each sentence. This algrithm was then able t predict which f the five sentences the participants spke — whether alud r in silence — with mre than 90% accuracy.(在一項(xiàng)有 8 名參與者參與的試驗(yàn)中,研究人員捕獲了受試者說(shuō)話時(shí)發(fā)出的信號(hào),并用口型表達(dá)了 5 個(gè)不同的句子(包括:“希望你的實(shí)驗(yàn)進(jìn)展順利!”、“圣誕快樂(lè)!”我愛(ài)你!”)。然后,他們訓(xùn)練了一個(gè)機(jī)器學(xué)習(xí)模型來(lái)識(shí)別與每個(gè)句子相關(guān)的電信號(hào)的不同模式。然后,該算法能夠預(yù)測(cè)參與者說(shuō)出的五個(gè)句子中的哪一個(gè)(無(wú)論是大聲還是沉默),準(zhǔn)確率超過(guò) 90%)”可知,本段講述了貼片的工作原理。C項(xiàng)“When the thrat muscles mve under the patch, the changes in the magnetic field can als be turned int electrical signals.(當(dāng)喉部肌肉在貼片下移動(dòng)時(shí),磁場(chǎng)的變化也可以轉(zhuǎn)化為電信號(hào))”符合語(yǔ)境。故選C。
50.根據(jù)空前“Hwever, there is mre wrk t be dne. Fr nw the device can nly recgnize five pre-trained phrases.(然而,還有更多工作要做。目前該設(shè)備只能識(shí)別五個(gè)預(yù)先訓(xùn)練的短語(yǔ))”可知,這里提到了貼片的局限;后面要繼續(xù)補(bǔ)充需要改進(jìn)的地方。B項(xiàng)“Plus, individual differences in vcal-crds means the algrithm has t be persnalized t each user.(另外,聲帶的個(gè)體差異意味著算法必須針對(duì)每個(gè)用戶進(jìn)行個(gè)性化)”符合語(yǔ)境。故選B。

Imperfectin can be a gift
We all want t d things well and fr things t turn ut right. Hwever, grwing up als invlves accepting when things g wrng. In fact, messing up can lead t sme f the mst interesting and meaningful utcmes.
Aiming fr results, whether that’s getting gd schl grades, shining in sprt r acing an art prject, can help yu fcus n yur gals. Hwever, it’s just as imprtant t fcus n enjying the prcess. Getting t hung up n things turning ut exactly as yu think they shuld can put a lt f pressure n yu and lead t anxiety. That’s why it’s gd t leave sme rm fr errrs and imperfectins. Then if things dn’t g as planned, it’s nt a big deal and yu may learn smething new.
Dr Vara is a psychlgist wh helps peple take care f their mental health. She says getting things wrng is part f grwing up. “We als have t experience the uncmfrtable feeling when we get things wrng. This helps us t becme strnger,” says Dr Vara. “Otherwise, we’ll be t scared t make mistakes. This fear can lead t us putting ff ding difficult things r aviding trying new things.” It’s imprtant t realise that making mistakes is cmmn, which shws that it is impssible t be perfect and failure is nrmal.
Learning frm yur mistakes is an essential part f grwing up. The mst imprtant thing is hw yu respnd and what yu chse t d next. Try nt t take it t seriusly, blame yurself r feel t disappinted r upset. Dr Vara explains, “Remember that yu’re nt a bad persn fr getting things wrng——yu’re human. It might feel uncmfrtable fr a bit, then these feelings will pass and then yu’ll bunce back.”
Instead, think abut what yu might d differently next time. This has been prven t wrk. In ne study, students wh were reminded t frgive and be kind t themselves when they failed a test felt mre mtivated t try again.

Dr. Vara explains that making mistakes is nrmal and essential fr becming strnger. The key is t learn frm mistakes, nt be t hard n neself, and cnsider hw t imprve next time.
【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文的體裁是明文。接受失敗是成長(zhǎng)的自然組成部分。專(zhuān)注于享受過(guò)程而不僅僅是結(jié)果可以減輕壓力和焦慮。瓦拉博士解釋說(shuō),犯錯(cuò)誤是正常的,對(duì)變得更強(qiáng)壯至關(guān)重要。關(guān)鍵是要從錯(cuò)誤中吸取教訓(xùn),不要對(duì)自己太苛刻,并考慮下次如何改進(jìn)。

【答案】Dear Editr,
I am Li Ming, a senir student frm Mingqi High Schl. I am writing t share my thughts n the debate abut whether practice makes perfect r excessive training stifles creativity. In my view, a balance is necessary.
Practice des make perfect. Take my experience in playing basketball as an example. Initially, I struggled with shting accurately. Thrugh repeated practice, I develped muscle memry, imprving my skills significantly. This shws that dedicatin and repetitin are key t mastering any skill.
Hwever, t much training can limit creativity. When preparing fr a schl art cmpetitin, I fund that sticking strictly t traditinal methds resulted in mundane artwrk. Once I allwed myself t experiment with different techniques and styles, my art became mre riginal and engaging. This experience highlighted the imprtance f balancing discipline with creative freedm.
In summary, while practice is essential fr building skills, it is equally imprtant t fster creativity t achieve excellence and innvatin.
Yurs sincerely,
Li Ming
