Zachery Dereniowski, who goes by the name MDMotivator on social media, wanted to do something special for a local Detroit, Michigan, traffic controller officer, Linita Edge. So on Mother’s Day in 2023, he went out of his way to honor her.
Edge had recently become a single mother and was left to be the only breadwinner of her family. Becoming a single parent meant she struggled to make ends meet without a second income.
However, being a traffic controller was a job she did with joy because she loved helping people. The woman had been working in her post for six years, and when Dereniowski met Edge for the first time and asked why she did it, she said, “I do it for the people.”
Edge’s generosity and heart were paid back tenfold when Dereniowski, a stranger, approached her one day during her shift and started recording her. She was left shocked when the TikToker presented her with a special gift.
On May 14, 2023, Dereniowski shared a TikTok video of him recording Edge while on duty directing traffic. Instead of sending him away, she obliged(帮忙) by giving him an interview when he asked her if she wished to buy a mystery jersey(球衣) for $ 1. With joy, the traffic officer showed how much she loved people when she promised to buy the jersey after her shift.
He handed her $500 notes, and she couldn’t help but cry when he told her it was Mother’s Day and that he wanted to celebrate a mother. The woman proudly revealed she was born and raised in Detroit, and when asked if she was a Tigers’ fan, her reply was, “Of course!”
The video concluded with the working mother enjoying herself and smiling at the Tigers game, for which Dereniowski had bought tickets.
4. Why did Edge struggle to make ends meet
A. She couldn’t find a steady job. B. She had a low salary.
C. She was in heavy debt. D. She had to raise her family by herself.
5. How did Edge respond when receiving the notes
A. She cried with happiness. B. She bought a jersey immediately.
C. She agreed to give him an interview. D. She decided to go to the Tigers game.
6. What did the TikTok video end with
A. The image of the mother’s face. B. Edge watching the Tigers game.
C. Dereniowski interviewing Edge. D. Edge directing traffic on duty.
7. What can we infer about Zachery Dereniowski from the text
A. He is a TikTok Internet celebrity. B. He was born and raised in Detroit.
C. He was generous and considerate. D. He met Edge before he honored her.

In 1960, Jane Goodall, a British animal scientist, observed chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. At that point, it was thought that only humans had the ability to create and use tools, but the chimpanzees were using slim grass to fish termites (白蚁). Louis Leakey, who is Ms Goodall’s mentor, thought, “Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans.”
Since then the distinction between animals and humans has become increasingly delicate. In addition to tool-making, chimpanzees display emotion and self-awareness. Studies show that elephants feel sad and pigs form strong friendships.
In The Creative Life of Animals, Carol Gigliotti, a professor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, has conducted research that examines such behaviour through the point of creativity.
This requires a more generous definition of creativity, for it is not a trait obviously exhibited by a dog or a fly. Ms Gigliotti suggests getting rid of humankind’s “master of the universe” opinion to consider creativity from the animals’ point of view. “If animals in their own cultures can solve problems or create products of value to them, it seems accurate to consider these as creative,” she writes.
Beaver dams (海狸水坝) are a case in point: there is no single structure for their construction. Each river or lake has its unique features and beavers create a custom-made structure to adapt to the given habitat—so, in the author’s idea, dams deserve to be considered a creative enterprise.
Ms Gigliotti says it would be an error to assume that animal creativity has to match the human version, though some examples turn out to be appealing to the human eye. Though a book about creativity, the author frequently discusses animal emotion and intelligence. She argues that animal personality is not limited to monkeys, dogs or cats. There are hundreds of thousands of studies on animal characters and they include ants, fish and mice. The book makes its strongest case when advocating a revision of how to think about and act towards animals.
8. What can we know about chimpanzees from the first paragraph
A. They can use tools to find food.
B. They can copy human’s behaviour.
C They can recognize food sources.
D. They are the most intelligent animals.
9. What does the underlined word “trait” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Pattern. B. Area. C. Characteristic. D. Image.
10. Which of the following will Carol Gigliotti agree with
A Beavers are creative builders.
B. Human is the master of the universe.
C. Animal emotions are hard to understand.
D. Animal creativity has to match the human version.
11. What kind of type is this text
A. A diary. B. A book review. C. A novel. D. A news report.
D
The amount of adult speech children is exposed to in their early years may help to shape the structure of their brains, researchers say.
Studies have previously suggested there are benefits to talking to young children, with research suggesting it can help improve their language processing and boost their vocabularies.
Now researchers say they have found a relationship between the amount of adult speech children are exposed to and the concentration of a substance in the brain — known as myelin (健磷脂) — that surrounds nerves and makes signals more efficient.
“I think the take-home message is, absolutely talk to your kids. And it matters.” said the lead author, Prof John Spencer of the University of East Anglia. “What’s pretty striking here is that it’s literally shaping the structure of the brain.”
Writing in The Journal of Neuroscience, Spencer and colleagues describe how they used a device fitted inside a vest to record the amount of speech 87 children aged about six months and76 aged about 30 months were exposed to at home. The team recorded 6.203 hours of language data, finding that children with more highly educated mothers were exposed to greater amounts of adult speech, and themselves produced more vocalizations (发声).
The team then invited 84 of the children into hospital, where they fell asleep in a special quiet room. Once the kids were asleep, they were transported into the MRI scanning room. The team then used the MRI scans to measure the amount of myelin in the children’s brains. As the brain develops, myelin increases. However, the team found, for the 30-month-olds.larger amounts of adult speech were associated with higher quantiles of myelin in lang----related pathways in the brain. By contrast, for six-month-olds, greater amounts of adult speech were associated with lower concentrations of myelin. While the Lurter was unexpected. Spencer said one possible explanation is that the impact of speech depends upon the brains stage of development.
Spencer said more research was now needed adding it was not yet clear how strongly the team’s results were linked to outcomes in children.
12. What did previous studies suggest about talking to young children
A. It can help develop their social skills. B. It can help increase their vocabularies.
C. It can help enhance their academic performances. D. It can help improve their physical abilities.
13. What do we know about the “take-home message”
A. It is of vital importance to talk to your kids.
B. MRI scans are painless and safe to children.
C. The volume of speech that kids hear has minimal impact.
D. Highly educated mothers are more likely to talk to their children.
14. What is Spencer’s attitude to the study
A Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Cautious D. Doubtfully
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Impact of Speech on Children Depends upon Their Age
B. Hearing Adult Speech May Help Shape Babies’ Brain Structure
C. The Earlier Children Learn Language, the Smarter They Barbs
D. The More Adult Speech Children Receive, the Faster Brains Depends

There is one incident in my life that makes me want to say thank you to the person involved.
My story happened in June, 1975. It began when my family was finally notified that we had successfully met all the requirements to emigrate (移民) to Canada.
We immediately set about selling our household goods to have enough money to start our life in a new country.
However, our government only allowed us to use a small portion of the money to pay for the flight tickets. The rest was required to be sent directly to a bank account in Canada. The only cash we were allowed to take along with us was $16.
We started our journey. It was the first time my children and I had left our home country, and the first time we had travelled by plane. We were filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Everything was new to us, especially the concept of in-flight entertainment. In our home country, we did not yet have access to televisions, so the thought of watching movies during the flight was thrilling.
However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment when we realized that headphones were not provided for free. The stewardess informed us that headphones cost $1 for economy class passengers. My children looked at me with longing eyes, asking if they could have a dollar for a set of headphones which they intended to share. Deep down, I knew that we couldn’t afford to spend any of our limited cash on headphones, not even a single set.
Unwillingly, I explained the situation to my children, preparing for their disappointment and understanding that they would have to go without headphones for the duration of the flight. My children accepted it without complaint. But our disappointment must have shown clearly.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
A gentleman nearby handed his headphones to us, smiling, without saying a word.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This incident definitely had a powerful effect on my children and encouraged them to spread kindness.

Zachery Dereniowski, who goes by the name MDMotivator on social media, wanted to do something special for a local Detroit, Michigan, traffic controller officer, Linita Edge. So on Mother’s Day in 2023, he went out of his way to honor her.
Edge had recently become a single mother and was left to be the only breadwinner of her family. Becoming a single parent meant she struggled to make ends meet without a second income.
However, being a traffic controller was a job she did with joy because she loved helping people. The woman had been working in her post for six years, and when Dereniowski met Edge for the first time and asked why she did it, she said, “I do it for the people.”
Edge’s generosity and heart were paid back tenfold when Dereniowski, a stranger, approached her one day during her shift and started recording her. She was left shocked when the TikToker presented her with a special gift.
On May 14, 2023, Dereniowski shared a TikTok video of him recording Edge while on duty directing traffic. Instead of sending him away, she obliged(帮忙) by giving him an interview when he asked her if she wished to buy a mystery jersey(球衣) for $ 1. With joy, the traffic officer showed how much she loved people when she promised to buy the jersey after her shift.
He handed her $500 notes, and she couldn’t help but cry when he told her it was Mother’s Day and that he wanted to celebrate a mother. The woman proudly revealed she was born and raised in Detroit, and when asked if she was a Tigers’ fan, her reply was, “Of course!”
The video concluded with the working mother enjoying herself and smiling at the Tigers game, for which Dereniowski had bought tickets.

In 1960, Jane Goodall, a British animal scientist, observed chimpanzees (黑猩猩) in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. At that point, it was thought that only humans had the ability to create and use tools, but the chimpanzees were using slim grass to fish termites (白蚁). Louis Leakey, who is Ms Goodall’s mentor, thought, “Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans.”
Since then the distinction between animals and humans has become increasingly delicate. In addition to tool-making, chimpanzees display emotion and self-awareness. Studies show that elephants feel sad and pigs form strong friendships.
In The Creative Life of Animals, Carol Gigliotti, a professor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, has conducted research that examines such behaviour through the point of creativity.
This requires a more generous definition of creativity, for it is not a trait obviously exhibited by a dog or a fly. Ms Gigliotti suggests getting rid of humankind’s “master of the universe” opinion to consider creativity from the animals’ point of view. “If animals in their own cultures can solve problems or create products of value to them, it seems accurate to consider these as creative,” she writes.
Beaver dams (海狸水坝) are a case in point: there is no single structure for their construction. Each river or lake has its unique features and beavers create a custom-made structure to adapt to the given habitat—so, in the author’s idea, dams deserve to be considered a creative enterprise.
Ms Gigliotti says it would be an error to assume that animal creativity has to match the human version, though some examples turn out to be appealing to the human eye. Though a book about creativity, the author frequently discusses animal emotion and intelligence. She argues that animal personality is not limited to monkeys, dogs or cats. There are hundreds of thousands of studies on animal characters and they include ants, fish and mice. The book makes its strongest case when advocating a revision of how to think about and act towards animals.
8. What can we know about chimpanzees from the first paragraph
A. They can use tools to find food.
B. They can copy human’s behaviour.
C. They can recognize food sources.
D. They are the most intelligent animals.
9. What does the underlined word “trait” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Pattern. B. Area. C. Characteristic. D. Image.
10. Which of the following will Carol Gigliotti agree with
A. Beavers are creative builders.
B. Human is the master of the universe.
C. Animal emotions are hard to understand.
D. Animal creativity has to match the human version.
11. What kind of type is this text
A. A diary. B. A book review. C. A novel. D. A news report.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了Carol Gigliotti所著的《动物的创造性生活》这本书中对动物创造力的看法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“At that point, it was thought that only humans had the ability to create and use tools, but the chimpanzees were using slim grass to fish termites (白蚁). (当时，人们认为只有人类才有能力创造和使用工具，但黑猩猩却在用细长的草来钓白蚁。)”可知，黑猩猩可以用工具来找食物。故选A。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词后面的“obviously exhibited by a dog or a fly(狗或苍蝇明显表现出来的)”可知，创造力不是能够在狗或苍蝇身上明显展示的trait。再结合最后一段中的“She argues that animal personality is not limited to monkeys, dogs or cats. There are hundreds of thousands of studies on animal characters and they include ants, fish and mice. (她认为动物的特征并不局限于猴子、狗或猫。有成千上万的关于动物特征的研究，其中包括蚂蚁、鱼和老鼠。)”可知，这里trait与personality和characters相近，表示“特征”，characteristic意为“特征，特点”，与trait意思相近。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Beaver dams (海狸水坝) are a case in point: there is no single structure for their construction. Each river or lake has its unique features and beavers create a custom-made structure to adapt to the given habitat—so, in the author’s idea, dams deserve to be considered a creative enterprise. (海狸水坝就是一个很好的例子：建造海狸水坝没有单一的结构。每一条河流或湖泊都有其独特的特征，海狸会创造一个定制的结构来适应特定的栖息地——因此，在作者的想法中，大坝应该被视为一项创造性的事业。)”可知。海狸会根据不同的河流或湖泊建造水坝，这种水坝应该被看作具有创造性。由此可推测出，海狸是有创造性的建造者。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In The Creative Life of Animals, Carol Gigliotti, a professor at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, has conducted research that examines such behaviour through the point of creativity. (在《动物的创造性生活》一书中，艾米丽卡尔艺术与设计大学教授Carol Gigliotti进行了一项研究，从创造力的角度审视了这种行为。)”并结合下文可知，本文主要介绍了Carol Gigliotti所著的《动物的创造性生活》这本书中对动物创造力的看法。由此可推测出，本文是一篇书评。故选B。
D
The amount of adult speech children is exposed to in their early years may help to shape the structure of their brains, researchers say.
Studies have previously suggested there are benefits to talking to young children, with research suggesting it can help improve their language processing and boost their vocabularies.
Now researchers say they have found a relationship between the amount of adult speech children are exposed to and the concentration of a substance in the brain — known as myelin (健磷脂) — that surrounds nerves and makes signals more efficient.
“I think the take-home message is, absolutely talk to your kids. And it matters.” said the lead author, Prof John Spencer of the University of East Anglia. “What’s pretty striking here is that it’s literally shaping the structure of the brain.”
Writing in The Journal of Neuroscience, Spencer and colleagues describe how they used a device fitted inside a vest to record the amount of speech 87 children aged about six months and76 aged about 30 months were exposed to at home. The team recorded 6.203 hours of language data, finding that children with more highly educated mothers were exposed to greater amounts of adult speech, and themselves produced more vocalizations (发声).
The team then invited 84 of the children into hospital, where they fell asleep in a special quiet room. Once the kids were asleep, they were transported into the MRI scanning room. The team then used the MRI scans to measure the amount of myelin in the children’s brains. As the brain develops, myelin increases. However, the team found, for the 30-month-olds.larger amounts of adult speech were associated with higher quantiles of myelin in lang----related pathways in the brain. By contrast, for six-month-olds, greater amounts of adult speech were associated with lower concentrations of myelin. While the Lurter was unexpected. Spencer said one possible explanation is that the impact of speech depends upon the brains stage of development.
Spencer said more research was now needed adding it was not yet clear how strongly the team’s results were linked to outcomes in children.
12. What did previous studies suggest about talking to young children
A. It can help develop their social skills. B. It can help increase their vocabularies.
C. It can help enhance their academic performances. D. It can help improve their physical abilities.
13. What do we know about the “take-home message”
A. It is of vital importance to talk to your kids.
B. MRI scans are painless and safe to children.
C. The volume of speech that kids hear has minimal impact.
D. Highly educated mothers are more likely to talk to their children.
14. What is Spencer’s attitude to the study
A. Doubtful. B. Confident. C. Cautious D. Doubtfully
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Impact of Speech on Children Depends upon Their Age
B. Hearing Adult Speech May Help Shape Babies’ Brain Structure
C. The Earlier Children Learn Language, the Smarter They Barbs
D. The More Adult Speech Children Receive, the Faster Brains Depends
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。研究人员称，儿童早年接触的成人语言量可能有助于塑造他们的大脑结构。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的相关发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Studies have previously suggested there are benefits to talking to young children, with research suggesting it can help improve their language processing and boost their vocabularies.(此前的研究表明，与幼儿交谈有好处，研究表明，这有助于提高他们的语言处理能力，扩大他们的词汇量)”可知，以前的研究表明，与幼儿交谈这有助于增加他们的词汇量。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I think the take-home message is, absolutely talk to your kids. And it matters.(我认为关键的信息是，绝对要和你的孩子谈谈。这很重要)”可知，和你的孩子交谈是至关重要的。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Spencer said more research was now needed adding it was not yet clear how strongly the team’s results were linked to outcomes in children.( Spencer说，现在还需要进行更多的研究，并补充说，目前还不清楚该团队的研究结果与儿童的结果有多大的联系)”可推知，Spencer对此次研究的态度是小心谨慎的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The amount of adult speech children is exposed to in their early years may help to shape the structure of their brains, researchers say.(研究人员称，儿童早年接触的成人语言量可能有助于塑造他们的大脑结构)”结合文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的相关发现。故B项“听成人讲话可能有助于塑造婴儿的大脑结构”最符合文章标题。故选B。

____18____ It’s easy to assume that your first impression of a situation or experience is the “right” one, and it can be very difficult to give up the idea that there is an objective truth to every situation. However, being more flexible with how you approach experiences and events will help you react with less anger to them.
Get enough sleep. A lack of sleep can do a variety of damages to your body, including causing physical stress and increasing your risk of developing a mood disorder such as depression or anxiety. ____19____ Sleep experts recommend that the average adult get an average of at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night.

【详解】1.上文“Develop an “anger plan”. Because it can be very hard to come up with ways to reduce your anger in the heat of the moment, try coming up with an advance plan to help you calm yourself in the event that you get angry. (制定一个“愤怒计划”。因为要想出一些方法来减少你的愤怒是非常困难的，所以试着提前想出一个计划来帮助你在你生气的时候平静下来)”指出要制定一个“愤怒计划”并解释了原因，空处承接上文，F项“记住这个计划将帮助你有效地管理你的愤怒。”指出这个计划的好处，故选F。
2.下文“Changing the way you think about your experiences and goals can help you both avoid feeling angry in the first place and manage your anger when you do experience it.(改变你对自己的经历和目标的看法可以帮助你避免一开始就感到愤怒，并且当你真的感到愤怒时，可以控制你的愤怒。)”指出改变你对自己的经历和目标的看法可以帮助你避免一开始就感到愤怒，这是在说明改变你对自己的经历和目标与愤怒之间的关系，E项“愤怒经常导致夸大你对事件或经历的反应。”符合，故选E。
3.纵观全文可知，第一段引出主题，其余每段分别介绍了一条控制愤怒的建议，且本段第一句是中心句，所以此处是本段中心句，由下文“However, being more flexible with how you approach experiences and events will help you react with less anger to them.(然而，更灵活的处理经历和事件会帮助你减少对它们的愤怒。)”可知，本段主要介绍了要更灵活的处理经历和事件，A项“灵活处理情况。”符合，能概括本段内容，故选A。
4.上文“A lack of sleep can do a variety of damages to your body, including causing physical stress and increasing your risk of developing a mood disorder such as depression or anxiety. (缺乏睡眠会对你的身体造成各种损害，包括造成身体压力和增加患抑郁症或焦虑症等情绪障碍的风险)”指出缺乏睡眠的损害——会对你的身体造成各种损害，下文“Sleep experts recommend that the average adult get an average of at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night.(睡眠专家建议，平均每个成年人每晚至少有七到八个小时的睡眠时间。)”指出解决办法——要建议人们每晚至少有七到八个小时的睡眠时间，由此可知，空处也应是讲述睡眠不足的危害，D项“睡眠不好或睡眠不足也会导致愤怒或情绪波动。”符合，故选D。
5.上文“For example, if someone hurt your feelings by ignoring you at a party, calmly talking to that person and explaining why you felt hurt may help them understand how their behaviour affected you. It may also help you feel more in control of the situation. (例如，如果有人在聚会上忽视了你，伤害了你的感情，冷静地和那个人交谈，解释为什么你感到受伤，可以帮助他们理解他们的行为是如何影响你的。它也可以帮助你更好地控制局面。)”指出如果有人在聚会上忽视了你，伤害了你的感情你应该如何做，下文“Always use non violent communication when interacting with others.(在与他人交流时，一定要使用非暴力的交流方式。)”指出与他人交流时应使用非暴力的方式，由此可知，空处承接上文，指出如果有人在聚会上忽视了你，伤害了你的感情，你应该与他人交流，G项“至关重要的是，等到你处理好自己的愤怒之后，再与对方交谈。”符合，下文介绍了交谈时的注意事项，故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There is one incident in my life that makes me want to say thank you to the person involved.
My story happened in June, 1975. It began when my family was finally notified that we had successfully met all the requirements to emigrate (移民) to Canada.
We immediately set about selling our household goods to have enough money to start our life in a new country.
However, our government only allowed us to use a small portion of the money to pay for the flight tickets. The rest was required to be sent directly to a bank account in Canada. The only cash we were allowed to take along with us was $16.
We started our journey. It was the first time my children and I had left our home country, and the first time we had travelled by plane. We were filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. Everything was new to us, especially the concept of in-flight entertainment. In our home country, we did not yet have access to televisions, so the thought of watching movies during the flight was thrilling.
However, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment when we realized that headphones were not provided for free. The stewardess informed us that headphones cost $1 for economy class passengers. My children looked at me with longing eyes, asking if they could have a dollar for a set of headphones which they intended to share. Deep down, I knew that we couldn’t afford to spend any of our limited cash on headphones, not even a single set.
Unwillingly, I explained the situation to my children, preparing for their disappointment and understanding that they would have to go without headphones for the duration of the flight. My children accepted it without complaint. But our disappointment must have shown clearly.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
A gentleman nearby handed his headphones to us, smiling, without saying a word.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
This incident definitely had a powerful effect on my children and encouraged them to spread kindness.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】A gentleman nearby handed his headphones to us, smiling, without saying a word. The children’s faces lit up with joy. They put the headphones on and settled into their seats for the long flight. I was touched by the kindness of the stranger who had given us his own headphones. It was a small gesture, but one that made a big impact on our family. From that moment on, our family felt a renewed sense of hope and gratitude for the journey we were embarking on. We felt like we were not alone and that there were good people in the world who cared.
This incident definitely had a powerful effect on my children and encouraged them to spread kindness. They made a promise to themselves to always be kind and helpful to others. As we settled into our new life in Canada, my children began to actively look for opportunities to spread kindness. They would offer help to their classmates and neighbours, volunteer at community events, and donate their time and resources to those in need. Their actions not only made a difference to the lives of others, but also brought them a sense of fulfillment.
