Yur Brain Separates Speech and Music
Peple generally dn’t cnfuse the sunds f singing and talking. That may seem bvius, but it’s actually quite ____21____ — particularly because we can usually differentiate between the tw even when we encunter a language r musical type we’ve never heard befre. Hw exactly des the human brain s ____22____ and instantaneusly make such judgments?
Scientists have a relatively ____23____ understanding f hw the sunds f speech are transfrmed int sentences and hw musical sunds mve us emtinally. At the very beginning, when sund waves ____24____ ur ear, they activate the auditry nerve within a part f the inner ear called the cchlea. That, in turn, ____25____ signals t the brain. Next, these signals travel the s-called auditry pathway, first t the sub-regin fr prcessing all kinds f sunds, and then t ____26____ music r language sub-regins. Depending n which sub-regin the signal ends up, a persn ____27____ the sund as a particular type f meaningful infrmatin — and can differ a piece f music frm a spken sentence.
That’s the brad-strkes stry f sund prcessing. But it remains surprisingly unclear hw exactly ur perceptual system differentiates these sunds within the auditry pathway. Certainly there are bvius ____28____: music and speech wavefrms have distinct pitches (tnes sunding high r lw), timbres (qualities f sund), phnemes (speech-sund units) and meldies. But the brain’s auditry pathway des nt prcess all thse elements ____29____ . Cnsider the example f sending a letter in the mail frm: The letter’s cntents prvide a(n) _____30_____ explanatin f its purpse, but the envelpe must still indicate its destinatin. Similarly, _____31_____ speech and music are packed with infrmatin, ur brain needs sme mre direct cues t rapidly determine which regins t engage.
The questin fr neurscientists, therefre, is what triggers the brain t decide whether t send incming sund t the language r music regins fr detailed _____32_____ , and ne assumptin abut the evlutinary rigin f music itself is wrth highlighting. It is believed that music effectively builds scial _____33_____ within a sciety by harmnizing multiple peple’s activities. This is supprted by previus studies shwing that peple cnnect mre clsely when they mve tgether at the same pace. Therefre, it’s pssible that fr music t serve its evlutinary functin, it needs t be at a speed that allws fr cmfrtable human mvement, thus making it mre _____34_____ fr human brains than its cunterpart.
As t hw the brain differentiates music frm speech in the auditry pathway, we suspect there is mre t uncver. And we believe there is mre than ne factr that can help explain ur brain’s amazing _____35_____ fr discriminatin.

【A】
Many f the festivals f the great religins f the wrld are celebrated with a special meal. A chance fr family and friends t cme tgether acrss generatins; the act f sharing fd adding t hspitality and tgetherness. Fr sme, faith will be uppermst in their hearts. Fr thers, it will be the jy f fellwship and the giving f presents.
It is als a time when we remember thse wh are n lnger with us and think als f thse whse wrk f caring fr thers cntinues, even n this special day. This care and sympathy we shw t thers is ne f the themes f the Christmas stry, especially when Mary and Jseph were ffered shelter in their hur f need by strangers, as they waited fr Jesus t be brn.
Over this past year my heart has been warmed by cuntless examples f the imaginative ways in which peple are caring fr ne anther — ging the extra mile t help thse arund them simply because they knw it is the right thing t d: at wrk and at hme; within and acrss cmmunities.
My wife and I were delighted when hundreds f representatives f that selfless army f peple — vlunteers wh serve their cmmunities in s many ways and with such distinctin — were able t help us. They are an essential backbne f ur sciety. Their presence meant s much t us bth and emphasized ur cre value itself: abve all, a call t us all t serve ne anther; t lve and care fr all.
Service als lies at the heart f the Christmas stry — the birth f Jesus wh came t serve the whle wrld, shwing us by his wn example hw t lve ur neighbr as urselves. Thrughut the year, my family have witnessed hw peple f all ages are making a difference t their cmmunities. This is all the mre imprtant at a time f real hardship fr many, when we need t build n existing ways t supprt thers less frtunate than urselves.
During my lifetime I have been s pleased t see a grwing awareness f hw we must prtect the Earth and ur natural wrld as the ne hme which we all share. I find great inspiratin nw frm the way s many peple recgnize this. And at a time f increasingly tragic cnflict arund the wrld, I pray that we can als d all in ur pwer t prtect each ther. The wrds f Jesus seem mre than ever relevant: “d t thers as yu wuld have them d t yu.” Such values are universal, drawing us and a wider wrld tgether. They remind us t imagine urselves in the shes f ur neighbrs, and t seek their gd as we wuld ur wn.
S n this Christmas Day my heart and my thanks g t all wh are serving ne anther; all wh are caring fr ur cmmn hme; and all wh see and seek the gd f thers, nt least the friend we d nt yet knw. In this way, we bring ut the best in urselves. I wish yu a Christmas f ‘peace n Earth and gdwill t all’, tday and always.

A study by French researchers that was published last mnth in the Jurnal Animal Cgnitin fund that nt nly d cats react t what scientists call cat-directed speech ---- a high-pitched vice similar t hw we talk t babies ---- they react t wh is ding the talking
“We fund that when cats heard their wners using a high-pitched vice, they reacted mre than when they heard their wner speaking nrmally t anther human adult,” said Charltte de Muzn, an authr f the study and cat behavir expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But what was very surprising in ur results was that it actually didn’t wrk when it came frm a stranger’s vice.”
Unlike with dgs, cat behavir is difficult t study, which is part f why humans understand them less. Cats are ften s stressed by being in a lab that meaningful behaviral bservatins becme impssible. And frget abut trying t get a cat t sit still fr an scan t study its brain functin.
S the researchers fr the latest study went t the cats’ hmes and played recrdings f different types f speech and different speakers. At first, Dr. de Muzn and her team were wrried that the cats weren’t reacting at all. But then they studied film recrdings f the encunters. “Their reactins were very subtle,” Dr. de Muzn said. “It culd be just mving an ear r turning the head twards the speaker r even freezing what they were ding.”
In a few cases, the cats in the study wuld apprach the speaker playing a vice and mew. “In the end, we had really clear gains in the cat’s attentin when the wner was using cat-directed speech,” Dr. de Muzn said.
The findings shwed that “cats are paying clse attentin t their caretakers, dwn t nt nly what they are saying, but hw they are saying it,” said Kristyn Vitale, an assistant prfessr f animal health an behavir at Unity Cllege in Maine wh was nt invlved in the new study.
The new study cmplements Dr. Vitale’s wn research int relatinships between a cat and its wner. This relatinship is s imprtant, Dr. Vitale’s research has fund, that it replicates (復(fù)制) the cnnectin between a kitten and its mther. “It is pssible that attachment behavirs riginally intended fr interactins with their mther have nw been mdified fr interactins with their new caretakers, humans.”
“Fr years, scientists didn’t ask the right questins abut cats,” Dr. de Muzn said. Nw thse wh are cnvinced f the X f cats wn’t like the answers that are emerging. Cats dn’t hate us after all, Dr. Vitale said, adding that “a grwing bdy f wrk supprts the idea that scial interactin with humans is key in the life f a cat.”
43. What kind f vice will attract cats’ attentin mst accrding t the article?
A. Their wners’ rdinary vice.B. A high-pitched vice frm a baby.
C. A high-pitched vice frm a stranger.D. The cat-directed speech frm their wners.
44. What des the underlined “X” in last paragraph prbably stand fr?
A. dislyaltyB. cutenessC. naughtinessD. enthusiasm
45. Which f the fllwing can be inferred frm the article?
A. Cats pay as much attentin t their wners as dgs d.
B. A cat’s attachment t its wner prbably resembles that t its mther.
C. Peple understand dgs mre than cats because the frmer are mre lyal.
D. Many believe and appreciate the fact that cats are smewhat indifferent t humans.

Glbal Rise f TCM
Phan Thi Kim Chi’s cnnectin with Traditinal Chinese Medicine (TCM) began at an early age. Grwing up in a small village in Vietnam, it was incnvenient fr Phan t travel t hspitals in neighbring cities. Whenever she caught a cld r experienced a headache as a child, her family wuld seek the help f a lcal TCM practitiner. ____47____ Accrding t Phan, even thugh TCM has lng been cmmnly practiced and accepted in Vietnam, finding a gd schl t learn TCM in Vietnam is nt easy.
As a freign student, Phan finds the TCM basic thery curse t be the mst challenging ne in the curriculum. ____48____ It requires years f learning and practice t truly understand the cncepts f yin and yang, harmny between human and nature, and the five elements f wd, fire, earth, metal, and water.

IV. Summary Writing
51. Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Perhaps yu’ve heard the ld saying “curisity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s ften used t warn peple, especially children, nt t ask t many questins. Yet it’s widely agreed that curisity actually makes learning mre effective. In fact, research has shwn that curisity is just as imprtant as intelligence in determining hw well students d in schl.
Curisity can als lead us t make unexpected discveriesand pen up new pssibilities. In science, basic curisity-driven research can have unexpected imprtant benefits. Fr example, ne day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing arund with a cil (線圈) and a magnet (磁鐵) when he suddenly saw hw he culd prduce an electrical current. The discvery changed the wrld.
Hwever, curisity is currently under the biggest threat, cming frm technlgy. On ne level, this is because technlgy has becme s advanced that many f us are unable t think t deeply abut hw exactly things wrk anymre.
In additin t this, there’s the fact that we all nw cnnect s deeply with technlgy, particularly with ur phnes. The mre we stare at ur screens, the less we talk t ther peple directly. All t ften we accept the images f peple that scial media prvides up with. Then we feel we knw enugh abut a persn nt t need t engage further with them.
The final—and perhaps mst wrrying—way in which technlgy stps us frm asking mre has t d with algrithms, the prcesses fllwed by cmputers. As we increasingly get ur news via scial media, algrithms find ut what we like and push mre f the same back t us. That means we end up inside ur wn little bubbles, n lnger cming acrss new ideas. Perhaps the real key t develping curisity in the 21st century, then, is t rely less n the tech tls f ur age.

Yur Brain Separates Speech and Music
Peple generally dn’t cnfuse the sunds f singing and talking. That may seem bvius, but it’s actually quite ____21____ — particularly because we can usually differentiate between the tw even when we encunter a language r musical type we’ve never heard befre. Hw exactly des the human brain s ____22____ and instantaneusly make such judgments?
Scientists have a relatively ____23____ understanding f hw the sunds f speech are transfrmed int sentences and hw musical sunds mve us emtinally. At the very beginning, when sund waves ____24____ ur ear, they activate the auditry nerve within a part f the inner ear called the cchlea. That, in turn, ____25____ signals t the brain. Next, these signals travel the s-called auditry pathway, first t the sub-regin fr prcessing all kinds f sunds, and then t ____26____ music r language sub-regins. Depending n which sub-regin the signal ends up, a persn ____27____ the sund as a particular type f meaningful infrmatin — and can differ a piece f music frm a spken sentence.
That’s the brad-strkes stry f sund prcessing. But it remains surprisingly unclear hw exactly ur perceptual system differentiates these sunds within the auditry pathway. Certainly there are bvius ____28____: music and speech wavefrms have distinct pitches (tnes sunding high r lw), timbres (qualities f sund), phnemes (speech-sund units) and meldies. But the brain’s auditry pathway des nt prcess all thse elements ____29____ . Cnsider the example f sending a letter in the mail frm: The letter’s cntents prvide a(n) _____30_____ explanatin f its purpse, but the envelpe must still indicate its destinatin. Similarly, _____31_____ speech and music are packed with infrmatin, ur brain needs sme mre direct cues t rapidly determine which regins t engage.

【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章探討了人類大腦如何區(qū)分語音和音樂，并介紹了科學(xué)家對(duì)聲音處理過程的理解，以及音樂在社會(huì)中的進(jìn)化功能。
【21題詳解】
考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：這可能看起來平淡無奇，但實(shí)際上相當(dāng)令人印象深刻——特別是因?yàn)榧词刮覀冇龅綇奈绰犨^的語言或音樂類型，通常也能區(qū)分兩者。A. heartbreaking令人心碎的；B. impressive令人印象深刻的；C. unavidable不可避免的；D. dminant占主導(dǎo)地位的。根據(jù)后文“even when we encunter a language r musical type we’ve never heard befre”，人們?cè)诿鎸?duì)從未聽過的語言或音樂類型時(shí)仍能區(qū)分語言和音樂，這是很厲害的表現(xiàn)，會(huì)讓人覺得印象深刻。故選B項(xiàng)。
【22題詳解】
考查副詞詞義辨析。句意：人類大腦究竟是如何如此輕松且瞬間做出這樣的判斷的呢？A. painstakingly煞費(fèi)苦心地；B. aggressively侵略性地；C. effrtlessly輕松地；D. aimlessly漫無目的地。前文提到“Peple generally dn’t cnfuse the sunds f singing and talking”，說明人們通常能很自然地不混淆語言和音樂，再結(jié)合“instantaneusly(瞬間地)”可推斷大腦是輕松地做出判斷。故選C項(xiàng)。
【23題詳解】
考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：科學(xué)家們對(duì)于語音如何轉(zhuǎn)化為句子，以及音樂聲音如何觸動(dòng)我們的情感，已經(jīng)有了相對(duì)豐富的理解。A. rich豐富的；B. shallw膚淺的；C. limited有限的；D. bld大膽的。根據(jù)后文“At the very beginning...”和“Next, these signals travel the s-called auditry pathway...”可知，科學(xué)家對(duì)這些過程已經(jīng)理解了很多，即有了相對(duì)豐富的理解。故選A項(xiàng)。
【24題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意：一開始，當(dāng)聲波撞擊我們的耳朵時(shí)，它們會(huì)激活內(nèi)耳中一個(gè)叫做耳蝸的部分內(nèi)的聽覺神經(jīng)。A. damage損壞；B. refresh使恢復(fù)精力；C. hit撞擊；D. clear清除。根據(jù)常識(shí)，聲音是以聲波的形式傳播，當(dāng)聲波到達(dá)耳朵時(shí)，是撞擊耳朵，從而激活聽覺神經(jīng)。故選C項(xiàng)。
【25題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意：反過來，這會(huì)將信號(hào)傳輸?shù)酱竽X。A. mdifies修改；B. remves移除；C. barriers阻礙；D. transmits傳輸。前文“they activate the auditry nerve”提到聲波激活聽覺神經(jīng)，結(jié)合常識(shí)和后文“signals t the brain”可知，聽覺神經(jīng)的作用是將信號(hào)傳輸?shù)酱竽X。故選D項(xiàng)。
【26題詳解】
考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：接下來，這些信號(hào)沿著所謂的聽覺通路傳播，首先到達(dá)處理各種聲音的子區(qū)域，然后到達(dá)專門處理音樂或語言的子區(qū)域。A. dedicated專門的；B. fascinating迷人的；C. intercnnected相互連接的；D. irrelevant不相關(guān)的。前文描述了信號(hào)在大腦中經(jīng)過不同區(qū)域處理，根據(jù)后文“music r language sub-regins”可知，這些子區(qū)域是專門處理音樂或語言的。故選A項(xiàng)。
【27題詳解】
考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意：根據(jù)信號(hào)最終到達(dá)的子區(qū)域，一個(gè)人將聲音理解為特定類型的有意義的信息——并且能夠區(qū)分一段音樂和一個(gè)口語句子。A. cmprehend理解；B. misinterpret誤解；C. create創(chuàng)造；D. eliminate消除。前文提到信號(hào)經(jīng)過聽覺通路到達(dá)不同子區(qū)域，結(jié)合常識(shí)，大腦接收信號(hào)后是將聲音理解為有意義的信息，才能區(qū)分音樂和口語句子。故選A項(xiàng)。
【28題詳解】
考查名詞詞義辨析。句意：當(dāng)然，有明顯的線索：音樂和語音的波形有不同的音高(高音或低音)、音色(聲音的品質(zhì))、音素(語音單位)和旋律。A. difficulties困難；B. strategies策略；C. causes原因；D. clues線索。后文“music and speech wavefrms have distinct pitches (tnes sunding high r lw), timbres (qualities f sund), phnemes (speech-sund units) and meldies”詳細(xì)列舉了音樂和語音在音高、音色等方面的不同，這些不同點(diǎn)是幫助我們區(qū)分它們的線索。故選D項(xiàng)。
【29題詳解】
考查介詞短語辨析。句意：但是大腦的聽覺通路并不會(huì)立刻處理所有這些元素。A. at ease自在；B. at nce立刻；C. at length詳細(xì)地；D. at peace和平地。根據(jù)后文“ur brain needs sme mre direct cues t rapidly determine which regins t engage.”可知，大腦需要更多直接的線索，所以不是立刻處理所有元素。故選B項(xiàng)。
【30題詳解】
考查形容詞詞義辨析。句意：信件的內(nèi)容提供了其目的的全面解釋，但信封仍必須標(biāo)明其目的地。A. cnvenient方便的；B. cmplicated復(fù)雜的；C. cmprehensive全面的；D. credible可信的。結(jié)合常識(shí)和后文“explanatin f its purpse”可知，信件的內(nèi)容通常全面闡述信件的目的。故選C項(xiàng)。
【31題詳解】

In this way, we bring ut the best in urselves. I wish yu a Christmas f ‘peace n Earth and gdwill t all’, tday and always.

A study by French researchers that was published last mnth in the Jurnal Animal Cgnitin fund that nt nly d cats react t what scientists call cat-directed speech ---- a high-pitched vice similar t hw we talk t babies ---- they react t wh is ding the talking
“We fund that when cats heard their wners using a high-pitched vice, they reacted mre than when they heard their wner speaking nrmally t anther human adult,” said Charltte de Muzn, an authr f the study and cat behavir expert at the Université Paris Nanterre. “But what was very surprising in ur results was that it actually didn’t wrk when it came frm a stranger’s vice.”
Unlike with dgs, cat behavir is difficult t study, which is part f why humans understand them less. Cats are ften s stressed by being in a lab that meaningful behaviral bservatins becme impssible. And frget abut trying t get a cat t sit still fr an scan t study its brain functin.
S the researchers fr the latest study went t the cats’ hmes and played recrdings f different types f speech and different speakers. At first, Dr. de Muzn and her team were wrried that the cats weren’t reacting at all. But then they studied film recrdings f the encunters. “Their reactins were very subtle,” Dr. de Muzn said. “It culd be just mving an ear r turning the head twards the speaker r even freezing what they were ding.”
In a few cases, the cats in the study wuld apprach the speaker playing a vice and mew. “In the end, we had really clear gains in the cat’s attentin when the wner was using cat-directed speech,” Dr. de Muzn said.
The findings shwed that “cats are paying clse attentin t their caretakers, dwn t nt nly what they are saying, but hw they are saying it,” said Kristyn Vitale, an assistant prfessr f animal health an behavir at Unity Cllege in Maine wh was nt invlved in the new study.
The new study cmplements Dr. Vitale’s wn research int relatinships between a cat and its wner. This relatinship is s imprtant, Dr. Vitale’s research has fund, that it replicates (復(fù)制) the cnnectin between a kitten and its mther. “It is pssible that attachment behavirs riginally intended fr interactins with their mther have nw been mdified fr interactins with their new caretakers, humans.”
“Fr years, scientists didn’t ask the right questins abut cats,” Dr. de Muzn said. Nw thse wh are cnvinced f the X f cats wn’t like the answers that are emerging. Cats dn’t hate us after all, Dr. Vitale said, adding that “a grwing bdy f wrk supprts the idea that scial interactin with humans is key in the life f a cat.”

(作為一名外國留學(xué)生，Phan認(rèn)為中醫(yī)基礎(chǔ)理論課是課程中最具挑戰(zhàn)性一門課。)”以及后文“It requires years f learning and practice t truly understand the cncepts f yin and yang, harmny between human and nature, and the five elements f wd, fire, earth, metal, and water. Smetimes she even translates the TCM vcabulary and scripts int Vietnamese s she can remember and cmprehend them better. (它需要多年的學(xué)習(xí)和實(shí)踐才能真正理解陰陽、人與自然的和諧以及木、火、土、金、水五行的概念。有時(shí)她甚至把中醫(yī)詞匯和腳本翻譯成越南語，以便更好地記住和理解它們。)”可知，本句主要說明中醫(yī)基礎(chǔ)理論課具有挑戰(zhàn)性的原因，結(jié)合后文提到了中國的五行文化，可知中醫(yī)與中國的文化有關(guān)。故C選項(xiàng)“中醫(yī)博大精深，與中國哲學(xué)有著千絲萬縷的聯(lián)系?！狈险Z境，故選C。
【49題詳解】
根據(jù)后文“Accrding t a reprt, the ttal number f internatinal students studying TCM in China was 8, 187 last year, with the largest ppulatin f 6, 441 cming frm Asian cuntries, fllwed by 832 frm Africa and 432 frm Eurpe. Als, many Chinese medical universities had prjects that sent prfessrs verseas t teach TCM. (根據(jù)一份報(bào)告，去年在中國學(xué)習(xí)中醫(yī)的國際學(xué)生總數(shù)為8187人，其中來自亞洲國家的人數(shù)最多，有6441人，其次是來自非洲的832人，來自歐洲的432人。此外，許多中國醫(yī)科大學(xué)都有派遣教授到海外教授中醫(yī)的項(xiàng)目。)”可知，后文主要列舉了學(xué)習(xí)中醫(yī)的國際學(xué)生人數(shù)，說明Phan不是個(gè)例。故D選項(xiàng)“像Phan這樣的中醫(yī)留學(xué)生并不少見?！狈险Z境，故選D。
【50題詳解】
根據(jù)上文“Hwever, experts remind that TCM emphasizes the imprtance f diagnsing and treating based n identifying syndrmes (癥狀). It is impssible t ffer a ne-size- fits-all apprach t all patients. (然而，專家提醒說，中醫(yī)強(qiáng)調(diào)在識(shí)別證候的基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行診斷和治療的重要性。不可能對(duì)所有的病人都提供一刀切的方法。)”可知，本句為本段最后一句，故承接上文，說明運(yùn)用中醫(yī)知識(shí)的注意事項(xiàng)。故B選項(xiàng)“即使在喝花草奶茶的時(shí)候，也最好做出相應(yīng)的選擇?！狈险Z境，故選B。
IV. Summary Writing
51. Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint(s) f the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Perhaps yu’ve heard the ld saying “curisity killed the cat.” It’s a phrase that’s ften used t warn peple, especially children, nt t ask t many questins. Yet it’s widely agreed that curisity actually makes learning mre effective. In fact, research has shwn that curisity is just as imprtant as intelligence in determining hw well students d in schl.
Curisity can als lead us t make unexpected discveriesand pen up new pssibilities. In science, basic curisity-driven research can have unexpected imprtant benefits. Fr example, ne day in 1831, Michael Faraday was playing arund with a cil (線圈) and a magnet (磁鐵) when he suddenly saw hw he culd prduce an electrical current. The discvery changed the wrld.
Hwever curisity is currently under the biggest threat, cming frm technlgy. On ne level, this is because technlgy has becme s advanced that many f us are unable t think t deeply abut hw exactly things wrk anymre.
In additin t this, there’s the fact that we all nw cnnect s deeply with technlgy, particularly with ur phnes. The mre we stare at ur screens, the less we talk t ther peple directly. All t ften we accept the images f peple that scial media prvides up with. Then we feel we knw enugh abut a persn nt t need t engage further with them.
The final—and perhaps mst wrrying—way in which technlgy stps us frm asking mre has t d with algrithms, the prcesses fllwed by cmputers. As we increasingly get ur news via scial media, algrithms find ut what we like and push mre f the same back t us. That means we end up inside ur wn little bubbles, n lnger cming acrss new ideas. Perhaps the real key t develping curisity in the 21st century, then, is t rely less n the tech tls f ur age.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Curisity determines ne’s academic perfrmance and can lead t new discveries. Hwever, technlgy seriusly endangers curisity . It prevents peple frm thinking deeply and engaging with each ther . Wrst f all, it keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead f expsing us t new ideas. Therefre, t develp curisity, we need t rely less n technlgy. (57 wrds)
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了好奇心在人們學(xué)習(xí)新知識(shí)和發(fā)現(xiàn)新事物方面的促進(jìn)作用，并指出現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的日益發(fā)達(dá)對(duì)人們好奇心的消極影響。
【詳解】1 要點(diǎn)摘錄①Curisity is just as imprtant as intelligence in determining hw well students d in schl.
②Technlgy has becme s advanced that many f us are unable t think t deeply abut hw exactly things wrk anymre.
③Then we feel we knw enugh abut a persn nt t need t engage further with them.
④As we increasingly get ur news via scial media, algrithms find ut what we like and push mre f the same back t us.
⑤Perhaps the real key t develping curisity in the 21st century, then, is t rely less n the tech tls f ur age.
2.縝密構(gòu)思： 將第1、2兩個(gè)要點(diǎn)進(jìn)行重組，將第3、4兩個(gè)要點(diǎn)進(jìn)行整合，將第5個(gè)要點(diǎn)作為總結(jié)。
3.遣詞造句
①Curisity determines ne’s academic perfrmance and can lead t new discveries.
②Technlgy prevents peple frm thinking deeply and engaging with each ther .
③Technlgy keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead f expsing us t new ideas.
④We need t rely less n technlgy.
【點(diǎn)睛】[高分句型1] It prevents peple frm thinking deeply and engaging with each ther . 運(yùn)用一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句對(duì)原文第三段和第四段進(jìn)行了概括。其中prevent sb. frm ding sth.這個(gè)固定短語的運(yùn)用顯得很高級(jí)。thinking和engaging兩個(gè)動(dòng)名詞作frm的賓語。
[高分句型2] Wrst f all, it keeps feeding us what it thinks we like instead f expsing us t new ideas. 用一個(gè)復(fù)雜的主從復(fù)合句概括了第五段內(nèi)容。其中what引導(dǎo)賓語從句、固定短語instead f和expse sb. t sth.的使用非常巧妙。

52. 直到那位母親確信她的兒子已安然無恙地到家，她才松了一口氣。(Nt until…) (漢譯英)
【答案】Nt until the mther made sure that her sn had gt hme safe and sund did she feel relieved.
【解析】
【詳解】考查賓語從句、狀語從句和倒裝。表示“直到……才……”應(yīng)使用nt until；表示“確信”應(yīng)譯為make sure；表示“安然無恙”應(yīng)譯為safe and sund；根據(jù)句意可知，主句應(yīng)該使用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，所以“母親確信”應(yīng)譯為the mther made sure；“她的兒子已安然無恙地到家”為賓語從句作made sure的賓語，發(fā)生在made sure之前，所以使用過去完成時(shí)態(tài)，故翻譯為her sn had gt hme safe and sund；根據(jù)主從句時(shí)態(tài)一致的原則，表示“她松了一口氣”應(yīng)用于一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，所以譯為she felt relieved；Nt until整體位于句首時(shí)，主句應(yīng)該使用部分倒裝，將助動(dòng)詞、系動(dòng)詞或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞提到主語前面，因主句使用的是一般過去時(shí)態(tài)，所以助動(dòng)詞為did，將其提前，謂語動(dòng)詞felt改為動(dòng)詞原形。故翻譯為Nt until the mther made sure that her sn had gt hme safe and sund did she feel relieved.
53. 根據(jù)她目前的學(xué)習(xí)水平量身定制的學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃大大提高了她的數(shù)學(xué)技能和信心。（tailr）
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】The study plan tailred t her current learning level has greatly imprved her math skills and cnfidence.
【解析】
【詳解】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞和時(shí)態(tài)?！案鶕?jù)她目前的學(xué)習(xí)水平量身定制的學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃”為本句主語，主題部分是“學(xué)習(xí)計(jì)劃”，譯為“the study plan”，“根據(jù)她目前的學(xué)習(xí)水平量身定制的”可用tailr的過去分詞作后置定語，tailred t意為“定制的”，“她目前的學(xué)習(xí)水平”譯為“her current learning level”，“大大提高了”作謂語，用動(dòng)詞imprve，強(qiáng)調(diào)過去動(dòng)作對(duì)現(xiàn)在的影響（提升效果持續(xù)），使用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，“她的數(shù)學(xué)技能和信心”作賓語，譯為“her math skills and cnfidence”。故譯為：The study plan tailred t her current learning level has greatly imprved her math skills and cnfidence.
54. 這條小河蜿蜒流淌，與世代居住于此的村民朝夕相伴，見證了這個(gè)村莊的日新月異。(cmpany)(漢譯英)
【答案】The winding stream that keeps the villagers cmpany, wh have lived there fr generatins, is a witness f/has witnessed the cnstant changes f this village.
【解析】
【詳解】考查定語從句，時(shí)態(tài)，名詞和短語。主語是這條小河蜿蜒流淌，也就是這條蜿蜒流淌的小河，譯為“The winding stream”，與村民朝夕相伴，用定語從句修飾名詞小河，譯為“that keeps the villagers cmpany”，世代居住于此再用非限制性定語從句修飾先行詞村民，進(jìn)行補(bǔ)充說明，譯為“wh have lived there fr generatins”，主句謂語見證了，可以用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)或者現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)，譯為“is a witness f/has witnessed”，賓語村莊的日新月異，譯為“the cnstant changes f this village”，故翻譯為The winding stream that keeps the villagers cmpany, wh have lived there fr generatins, is a witness f/has witnessed the cnstant changes f this village.。
55. 在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上交流時(shí)，務(wù)必明辨是非，謹(jǐn)言慎行，切莫盲目跟從，從而造成不可估量的后果。（distinguish）
_____________________________________________________________
【答案】When cmmunicating n the Internet, be sure t distinguish right frm wrng, think carefully befre speaking, and avid blindly fllwing thers, s as nt t cause immeasurable cnsequences.
【解析】
【詳解】考查狀語從句的省略，固定搭配和祈使句。根據(jù)所給中文句子，“在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上交流時(shí)”可用when引導(dǎo)的時(shí)間狀語從句，從句主語和主句相同，時(shí)態(tài)用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)，所以可以省略主語+be動(dòng)詞，譯為“when cmmunicating n the Internet”，“務(wù)必明辨是非，謹(jǐn)言慎行，切莫盲目跟從”可用and連接的排比句，根據(jù)句意，沒有主語，用祈使句句型，“務(wù)必”用動(dòng)詞短語：be sure t d sth.，“明辨是非”譯為distinguish right frm wrng，“謹(jǐn)言慎行”譯為think carefully befre speaking，“莫盲目跟從”譯為avid blindly fllwing thers，三個(gè)并列的動(dòng)詞短語放在動(dòng)詞不定式符號(hào)t后，用and連接，放在最后一個(gè)動(dòng)詞短語前；“從而造成不可估量的后果”可用固定搭配：s as nt t cause...“以免導(dǎo)致…”引導(dǎo)結(jié)果狀語，譯為“s as nt t cause immeasurable cnsequences”。故譯為：When cmmunicating n the Internet, be sure t distinguish right frm wrng, think carefully befre speaking, and avid blindly fllwing thers, s as nt t cause immeasurable cnsequences.
