36、990, during a performance of my stage play, I kept focusing myself on one particular member of the audience. While everybody else laughed, there she sat, staring at the floor, with her fingers in her ears. Ill never forget her look of discomfort. That woman was my mother. I wish I could say her reac

37、tion that evening was an incident, but it was one of many I remember when I was first starting out as a playwright.Although Id established myself as a humourist, my mother never found me or my work particularly funny. We loved each other deeply, of course, but she was my hardest critic. “Is Drew rea

38、lly that funny?” shed ask family members. To make matters worse, the feeling was mutual (相互的): though our social circle swore that she was funny, I never saw it. How could she be funny? My mother was supposedly very funny in her first language, Anishinaabemowin, but I didnt speak it. One of the char

39、acteristics of the language is that it is structured for maximum amusement.For a while I was convinced I would never make her laugh. Then, in 2005, I succeeded. I had published a book called, Me Funny. In it were dozens of essays deconstructing (解构) the humour in Anishinaabemowin. They cracked her u

40、p so much that she looked at me and declared, “Wow, that was funny!” I remember being relieved and very pleased.In 2009, my mother passed away. I was in charge of planning the funeral along with two cousins. Because my mother was a shy woman, I can guarantee she would have found our group effort qui

41、te embarrassing. During the funeral, amidst the tears, family member after family member got up and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her.I couldnt see my mothers fores

42、t for my own trees. I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but Im glad I finally made the connection.21.

43、and his humourD. she had difficulty following the plot22. What finally helped the author understand his mothers humour?A. The release of his book.B. The stories about his mother.C. The audiences feedback.D. The social circles comments.23. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To exp

44、ress his sorrow.B. To explain his humour.C. To show his achievements.D. To remember his mother.【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D【解析】【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者的幽默作品从来不能让母亲发笑，而母亲的幽默也是作者不能想象的，最终母亲的去世让作者从她的故事中真正理解了她的幽默。【21题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Although Id established myself as a humourist, my mother never found me or my work parti

45、cularly funny. We loved each other deeply, of course, but she was my hardest critic.(虽然我已经把自己塑造成一个幽默作家，但我母亲从未觉得我或我的作品特别有趣。当然，我们深爱着对方，但她是我最严厉的批评者。)”可知母亲在观看作者的剧本是不笑时因为她从不觉得剧作者以及他的作品有趣，即母亲不能理解作者的幽默。故选C项。【22题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第四段“During the funeral, amidst the tears, family member after family member got up

46、and recounted things she had done and said over the years. To my surprise, I found myself laughing. More and more stories about her surfaced. We laughed as we remembered her.(在葬礼上，在眼泪中，一个又一个的家人站起来，讲述了她多年来所做的事情。令我吃惊的是，我发现自己都笑了。越来越多的关于她的故事浮出水面。我们一想起她，就笑了起来。)可知最终帮助作者理解母亲幽默的是和母亲有关的故事。故选B项。【23题详解】推理判断题。根

47、据文章最后一段“I wish I could have shared those laughs with her while she was alive, but Im glad I finally made the connection.(我希望我能在她活着的时候和她分享这些笑声，但我很高兴我终于建立了这种联系。)”以及前文内容的叙述可知作者写这篇文章的目的是为了纪念自己的母亲。故选D项。BAbsence of evidence is not the same thing as evidence of absence. But if you try to find the differenc

48、e and keep failing to get it, you can be forgiven. And so it is with the complicated subject of explicit (明确的) grammar teaching in schools, and its link with improved writing ability.A recent study, like nearly all previous studies on this subject, found that teaching kids how to label the bits and

49、pieces in a sentence does not make them better writers. Other observers may begin to wonder whether the National Curriculum, which since 2014 has made grammar such a central part of its English programme, might have gone down a blind alley.The promoter of the curriculum, a former secretary of educat

50、ion, Michael Gove, insisted on the insertion of personal preference into the grammar curriculum, notably the subjunctive form, “If I were”. Mention of his name alone wrinkles many teachers noses partly because some of them were hardly prepared to teach the new material themselves after decades in wh

51、ich grammar was largely absent from classrooms.In reflection, it seems unsurprising that learning to underline a modal verb, such as “can”, “should” and “may”, does little to help students use them effectively in their own writing. These words are anyway grasped by tiny children without the need to

52、know what they are called. This may lead to the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. However, it shouldnt be abandoned, though it should be reformed.There are practical reasons for teaching and learning grammar. One is that an explicit knowledge of it will make learn

53、ing a foreign language easier. If you did intuit (直觉上知道) how to make subordinate clauses in your mother tongue, getting to grasp them in a foreign language in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them.For grammarians keen on the jobs of the future, the field of natural language

54、processing is booming. Technological talents have invented programs for automated translation, speech recognition and other services that are actually usable, even if far from perfect. These tools may rely more on knowledge of AI than of grammar, but linguistic expertise (专门技能) still matters.Grammar

55、 could still be taught better. One small study showed improvement in some students when concepts were linked concretely to writing tasks. Therefore, the science of how words combine to make meaning is fascinating as well as fundamental.24. What do many teachers think of Michael Goves idea?A. They ar

56、e in support of his claim.B. They show disagreement with his idea.C. They have no comments on his philosophy.D. They are prepared to teach the new materials.25. What can we learn from this passage?A. Mother tongue grammar contributes to foreign language learning.B. Grammar is taught better in writin

57、g than in other areas of teaching.C. Natural language processing is strongly supported by grammarians.D. Grammar knowledge is no longer needed with the development of AI.26. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Grammar To Teach or Not to TeachB. How Could Grammar Be Taught BetterC. Why Learn

58、 Foreign Language GrammarD. Mother Tongue Grammar Important or Not【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章就是否应该进行语法教学进行了阐述，指出语法教学不应该被抛弃，应该被改革，语法仍然可以教得更好。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Mention of his name alone wrinkles many teachers nosespartly because some of them were hardly prepared to teach the new ma

59、terial themselves after decades in which grammar was largely absent from classrooms. (一提起他的名字，许多老师就会嗤之以鼻部分原因是他们中的一些人在几十年语法在课堂上基本消失之后，几乎没有准备好自己教授新材料。)”可知许多老师对迈克尔戈夫的想法的态度是：他们表示不同意他的想法。故选B。【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“If you did intuit (直觉上知道) how to make subordinate clauses in your mother tongue, getting to

60、 grasp them in a foreign language in later years is simpler if you know how to define and spot them. (如果你凭直觉知道如何在母语中造出从句，如果你知道如何定义和识别它们，那么在以后的几年里用外语掌握它们会更简单。)”可知母语语法有助于外语学习。故选A。【26题详解】主旨大意题。根据文章第二段最后一句“Other observers may begin to wonder whether the National Curriculum, which since 2014 has made gra

61、mmar such a central part of its English programme, might have gone down a blind alley. (其他观察家可能开始怀疑，自2014年以来一直将语法作为其英语课程核心部分的国家课程，是否会走上死胡同。)”和第四段最后两句“This may lead to the conclusion that the teaching of grammar should be shelved altogether. However, it shouldnt be abandoned, though it should be refo

62、rmed. (这可能导致语法教学应该完全搁置的结论。然而，它不应该被抛弃，尽管它应该被改革。)”，再结合最后一段第一句“Grammar could still be taught better.(语法仍然可以教得更好。)”可知文章就是否应该进行语法教学进行了阐述，指出语法教学不应该被抛弃，应该被改革，语法仍然可以教得更好。所以文章的标题应该是：GrammarTo Teach or Not to Teach (教还是不教语法)。故选A。CIf you re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see ano

63、ther hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister you might just grab the pizza. Your boss you probably will give up. But if youre hungry and feeling particularly confident, you might go for it.Now researchers have made progress

64、in understanding how mammals brain encodes social rank and uses this information to shape behaviours such as whether to fight for that last pizza slice. They discovered that an area of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was responsible for representing social rank in mammals; chang

But it was unknown how the mPFC represented this information and which neurons (神经元) were involved in changing dominance behaviour.In the new study, Professor Kay Tye let groups of four mice share a cage, allowing a social hierarchy (等级) to na

66、turally develop some mice became more dominant and others more subordinate. As soon as the mice were paired up, he discovered, the activity of their mPFC neurons could predict with 90 percent certainty the rank of their opponent.“We expected animals might only signal rank when they are in a competit

67、ion,” says co-researcher Nancy. “But it turns out animals walk around with this representation of social rank all the time.”When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked

68、 with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict a full 30 seconds before the competition started which mouse would win the food reward.The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged in a “winning mindset”. Just as you might sometimes b

69、e in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more “winning mindset” than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and “winning mindset” are next to one another and high

70、ly connected. Signals on social rank impact the state of the brain involved in “winning mindset”. In other words, a subordinate mouses confidence and “winning mindset” may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one.“This is further evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states whe

71、n we are with others compared to when were alone,” says Tye. “Regardless of who youre with, if youre aware of other people around you, your brain is using different neurons.”27. The author writes Paragraph 1 in order to _.A. tell an interesting storyB. present a typical exampleC. introduce a major t

72、opicD. provide a convincing proof28. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. The mPFC neurons.B. The researchers.C. The brain activity patterns.D. The changes in behaviour.29. What can we learn from the new study?A. mPFC neurons change dominance behaviour.B. Brain activities

73、can influence social hierarchy.C. Dominant opponents boost “winning mindset”.D. Social rank and “winning mindset” affect behaviour.30. What can we infer from the passage?A. Those eager to win may succeed.B. When alone, we are more confident.C. Social rank guides competitive behaviour.D. “Winning min

74、dset” establishes dominance.【答案】27. C 28. C 29. D 30. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员对大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域如何参与改变支配行为的研究，得出结论：处于“胜利心态”的人更容易成为具有统治力的人，并且mPFC神经元改变支配行为。【27题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“If you re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move

75、 probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sisteryou might just grab the pizza. Your bossyou probably will give up. But if youre hungry and feeling particularly confident, you might go for it. (如果你在派对上伸手去拿最后一块披萨，同时看到另一只手在拿，你的下一步行动可能取决于你的感觉以及那只手属于谁。你妹妹你可能就去拿披萨。你的老板你可能

76、会放弃。但是如果你饿了并且感觉特别自信，你可能会去拿披萨。)”，结合之后文章提出大脑中一个叫做内侧前额叶皮质（mPFC）的区域负责代表哺乳动物的社会地位，可知作者写第一段是为了引出一个主要话题。故选C。【28题详解】词句猜测题。根据第五段“When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked wit

(当研究人员再次询问mPFC神经元的活动是否与行为有关时，他们发现了一些令人惊讶的事情。大脑活动模式与行为的轻微变化有关，例如老鼠移动的速度，它们还可以在比赛开始前整整30秒预测哪只老鼠会赢得食物奖励。)”，可知研究人员发现大脑活动模式与行为密切

78、相关，划线部分的“they”指的是大脑活动模式。故选C。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and “winning mindset” are next to one another and highly connected.

( mPFC中与社会地位和“获胜心态”相关的区域彼此相邻，高度相关。社会等级的信号会影响“获胜心态”的大脑状态。换句话说，当面对占优势的老鼠时，从属老鼠的信心和“获胜心态”可能会部分下降。)”，可知社会地位和获胜心态可能会影响心态，从而影响行为。故选D。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged in a “winni

80、ng mindset”. Just as you might sometimes be in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more “winning mindset” than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.

81、那块披萨一样，处于从属地位的老鼠可能比更具统治力的老鼠处于更“胜利的心态”，并最终获胜。)”，可知胜利者不一定是统治者，而是处于“胜利心态”的人，也就是说那些渴望胜利的人可能会成功。故选A。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。In science, advances are a daily occurrence, but true breakthroughs are rare.
