Not long ago when I had a dinner party, a guest noticed the gravy boat (船形酱汁壶) — a piece of china, “Is it a heirloom (传家宝) ” The boat is very old, matches nothing else, and has a V-shaped cut on it. But it is the one I will keep forever.
Our history together began fifty years ago when I was seven. That December the river started to rise. We worked hard against the disaster and even kept a rowboat downstairs. My mother carefully packed the china in the study upstairs because it’d been her mother’s and was valuable to her. She told me, “You must treasure the things people you love have treasured. It keeps you in touch with them.” But then I didn’t really understand her concern.
The water rose higher. One night, the floor of the study fell through and the china was on the first floor under the rising river. The loss really broke her heart. That night she sat on the top of the stairs and cried.
The next morning I could tell how bad she still felt. Suddenly I saw the rowboat —yes, I could fish for the china. I put a hook (钩) onto a line, let it down until I felt it hit bottom and slowly moved the rowboat back and forth, pulling my line, but time after time I pulled the line up empty.
When we had to leave as the water poured in, I tried for the last time. Suddenly I felt something and raised my catch. The gravy boat! The moment I took it out in front of my mother, she was in tears of joy.
It was just then that I realized how deeply that old gravy boat connected me to the people and places of my past, tying me to my mother as well as her life, her joy and her love.
4. What can we learn about the gravy boat
A. It is fifty years old. B. It means much to “my” family.
C. It is old but perfect. D. It matches the furniture well.
5. What made the author’s mother cry that night
A. Pain of the injury. B. Rise of the river.
C. Damage of the study. D. Loss of the treasure.
6 Which of the following can best describe “I”
A. Caring. B. Honest. C. Confident. D. Responsible.
7. What does the author want to express in the text
A. Stay calm in face of a disaster.
B. “Heirlooms” connect generations.
C. Suffering improves the parent-child tie.
D. Mother’s love promotes her child’s growth.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】

That night she sat on the top of the stairs and cried. (一天晚上，书房的地板塌了，瓷器掉在一楼，被河水淹没了。那次损失使她非常伤心。那天晚上，她坐在楼梯顶上哭了起来。)”可知，因为失去母亲所珍惜的东西，所以她那天晚上哭了。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，根据倒数第二段“When we had to leave as the water poured in, I tried for the last time. Suddenly I felt something and raised my catch. The gravy boat! The moment I took it out in front of my mother, she was in tears of joy. (当水涌进来，我们不得不离开时，我试了最后一次。突然，我感觉到了什么，提起了我的手。卤肉船！当我把它拿出来放在妈妈面前的那一刻，她喜极而泣。)”可知，作者知道那些瓷器对妈妈来说是非常珍贵的，所以尽力从水中打捞，从而推知，作者是善解人意的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“My mother carefully packed the china in the study upstairs because it’d been her mother’s and was valuable to her.

C
Different people enjoy different amounts (数量) of human contact. While some adore making lots of friends, others prefer plenty of time on their own. However, is there such a thing as too much time alone And how does isolation (孤独) affect humans
In April, a Spanish athlete named Beatriz Flamini came out of a cave where she had spent 500 days as part of a study on social isolation. During her time 70 metres underground, Flamini had no human contact at all. However, she did record videos of herself and was monitored continually by scientists.
Doctors measuring the effects of isolation are building up a picture of how it can change the way people experience the passing of time, and how it affects the body’s natural clock. Flamini first entered the cave on 20 November 2021, but she lost track of time 65 days later. During her time underground, she sometimes experienced auditory hallucinations, which means that she was hearing noises that weren’t there. The isolation affected her balance when she came out of the cave, and she also had to get used to being in sunlight.
Isolation studies are important for planning for long-lasting space tasks. Although astronauts (宇航员) often work with other members, the teams are small and their living quarters are small, too. For example, the astronaut Kjell Lindgren spent 141 days on board the International Space Station with never more than five teammates for company. This summer, four volunteers will start a year of living inside a big box, as part of NASA’s Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog. The aim of this experiment is to find out how astronauts will manage extreme isolation and stay healthy while living on Mars.
8. What does the underlined word “adore” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Avoid. B. Allow. C. Love. D. Stop.
9. What did Beatriz Flamini do underground
A. She watched videos every day. B. She stayed alone for over a year.
C. She explored the cave’s secrets. D. She talked with scientists sometimes.
10. What did Beatriz Flamini suffer in the study
A. Disorder of body clock. B. Poor eyesight.
C. Complete loss of balance. D. Sudden deafness.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Extreme Isolation B. Power of Human Contact
C. Underground Experiences D. Astronauts’ Health Experiments
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项极端隔离实验，目的是找出宇航员在太空生活时如何应对极端隔离并保持健康的方法。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句前文“Different people enjoy different amounts(数量) of human contact. (不同的人喜欢不同数量的人际接触。)”说明不同的人喜欢不同数量的人际交往，从而推知划线词句“While some adore making lots of friends, others prefer plenty of time on their own. (有些人adore交很多朋友，而另一些人则喜欢有足够的独处时间。)”其中划线词汇意思是“喜欢”。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In April, a Spanish athlete named Beatriz Flamini came out of a cave where she had spent 500 days as part of a study on social isolation. During her time 70 metres underground, Flamini had no human contact at all. (今年4月，西班牙运动员Beatriz Flamini走出了一个洞穴，她在那里度过了500天，这是一项关于社会隔离的研究的一部分。在地下70米的时间里，Flamini完全没有与人接触。)”可知，Beatriz Flamini在地下一个人呆了一年多。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Flamini first entered the cave on 20 November 2021, but she lost track of time 65 days later. (Flamini于2021年11月20日首次进入洞穴，但65天后她就失去了时间概念。)”可知，Beatriz Flamini在研究中遭受了生物钟紊乱。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“And how does isolation(孤独) affect humans ( 隔离是如何影响人类的？)”和最后一段中“The aim of this experiment is to find out how astronauts will manage extreme isolation and stay healthy while living on Mars. (这项实验的目的是找出宇航员在火星上生活时如何应对极端隔离并保持健康的方法。)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项极端隔离实验，目的是找出宇航员在太空生活时如何应对极端隔离并保持健康的方法。A“极端隔离”符合主题，适合做标题。故选A项。
D
In many adults, learning and thinking begin to decline (衰退) as early as age 30 and become worse in their mid-60s, which is shown in tests of cognitive(认知的) abilities.
These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning.
However, a three-month study Rachel Wu and her partners designed suggests that this decline can be addressed. In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger.
The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term.
“Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing.
12. What leads to the decline in cognitive abilities
A. Age-related diseases. B. Slower processing speed.
C. Too many holiday breaks. D. Fewer learning experiences.
13. How did Rachel Wu and her partners conduct their research
A. By doing surveys. B. By arranging interviews.
C. By searching documents. D. By making comparisons.
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Learning contributes to physical improvement.
B. Taking classes is key to cognitive development.
C. Positive learning environments should be created.
D. Older adults need to practice their language skills.
15. What’s the author’s attitude toward the study
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述一项研究发现，Rachel Wu和她的合作伙伴设计的一项为期三个月的研究表明，成年人学习能力和思维能力的下降是可以通过继续学习和练习新技能得以解决。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning.(这些变化通常被认为是正常老化的结果。但它们可能更像是一些学生在暑假学习过程中经历的‘夏季滑坡’”。在正规教育和职业培训结束后，许多成年人经历了多年的学习机会减少。)”可知，人们通常认为正常老化导致了认知能力的下降，但是这种下降和学生在暑假学习过程中经历的“夏季滑坡”很相似，许多成年人在正规教育和职业培训结束后，学习的机会减少才是导致了认知能力的下降的原因。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger.(在这项研究中，他们为24名年龄在58到86岁之间的老年人提供了一个令人鼓舞的学习环境。之前和之后，他们测试了认知能力。这些老年人报名参加了至少三个每周一次的学习班，学习新技能，比如画画、使用iPad和学习西班牙语。在此期间，成年人的记忆认知得分有了很大的提高，一年后他们的认知能力与年轻50岁的成年人相似。)”可知，在这项研究中24名年龄在58到86岁之间的老年人报名参加了至少三个每周一次的学习班来学习新技能，Rachel Wu和她的合作伙伴对老年人学习之前和学习之后的认知能力进行测试，发现通过学习这些人的记忆认知得分有了很大的提高；由此可知，Rachel Wu和她的合作伙伴通过对老年人学习前后的认知能力测试结果进行了对比来开展研究。故选D。
14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term.(需要明确的是，研究人员并不认为正规教育是支持学习的唯一或最重要的方式。他们的想法是为老年人创造一个鼓舞人心的环境，这样他们就可以长期提高现实世界的技能和认知能力。)”可知，正规教育唯一或最重要的学习方式，应该为老年人创造鼓励他们学习的环境，才能长期提高现实世界的技能和认知能力；由此可知，应该为老年人创造一个积极的学习环境。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. (该团队仍在调查为什么他们的认知分数在项目结束后继续攀升，但一种可能性是，这一经历鼓励了这些成年人继续学习和练习新技能。)”以及最后一段““Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing.(俗话说：“用进废退。”让我们把关于成年人的话题从避免失去和衰退，或者保持人们所拥有的，转向学习和成长。)”可知，作者认为这项研究鼓励了这些成年人继续学习和练习新技能，成年人应该学习和成长，而不是避免失去和衰退，或者保持现状；由此可知，作者对这项研究是持支持态度的。故选B。

Not long ago when I had a dinner party, a guest noticed the gravy boat (船形酱汁壶) — a piece of china, “Is it a heirloom (传家宝) ” The boat is very old, matches nothing else, and has a V-shaped cut on it. But it is the one I will keep forever.
Our history together began fifty years ago when I was seven. That December the river started to rise. We worked hard against the disaster and even kept a rowboat downstairs. My mother carefully packed the china in the study upstairs because it’d been her mother’s and was valuable to her. She told me, “You must treasure the things people you love have treasured. It keeps you in touch with them.” But then I didn’t really understand her concern.
The water rose higher. One night, the floor of the study fell through and the china was on the first floor under the rising river. The loss really broke her heart. That night she sat on the top of the stairs and cried.
The next morning I could tell how bad she still felt. Suddenly I saw the rowboat —yes, I could fish for the china. I put a hook (钩) onto a line, let it down until I felt it hit bottom and slowly moved the rowboat back and forth, pulling my line, but time after time I pulled the line up empty.
When we had to leave as the water poured in, I tried for the last time. Suddenly I felt something and raised my catch. The gravy boat! The moment I took it out in front of my mother, she was in tears of joy.
It was just then that I realized how deeply that old gravy boat connected me to the people and places of my past, tying me to my mother as well as her life, her joy and her love.
4. What can we learn about the gravy boat
A. It is fifty years old. B. It means much to “my” family.
C. It is old but perfect. D. It matches the furniture well.
5. What made the author’s mother cry that night
A. Pain of the injury. B. Rise of the river.
C. Damage of the study. D. Loss of the treasure.
6. Which of the following can best describe “I”
A. Caring. B. Honest. C. Confident. D. Responsible.
7. What does the author want to express in the text
A. Stay calm in face of a disaster.
B. “Heirlooms” connect generations.
C. Suffering improves the parent-child tie.
D. Mother’s love promotes her child’s growth.
C
Different people enjoy different amounts (数量) of human contact. While some adore making lots of friends, others prefer plenty of time on their own. However, is there such a thing as too much time alone And how does isolation (孤独) affect humans
In April, a Spanish athlete named Beatriz Flamini came out of a cave where she had spent 500 days as part of a study on social isolation. During her time 70 metres underground, Flamini had no human contact at all. However, she did record videos of herself and was monitored continually by scientists.
Doctors measuring the effects of isolation are building up a picture of how it can change the way people experience the passing of time, and how it affects the body’s natural clock. Flamini first entered the cave on 20 November 2021, but she lost track of time 65 days later. During her time underground, she sometimes experienced auditory hallucinations, which means that she was hearing noises that weren’t there. The isolation affected her balance when she came out of the cave, and she also had to get used to being in sunlight.
Isolation studies are important for planning for long-lasting space tasks. Although astronauts (宇航员) often work with other members, the teams are small and their living quarters are small, too. For example, the astronaut Kjell Lindgren spent 141 days on board the International Space Station with never more than five teammates for company. This summer, four volunteers will start a year of living inside a big box, as part of NASA’s Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog. The aim of this experiment is to find out how astronauts will manage extreme isolation and stay healthy while living on Mars.
8. What does the underlined word “adore” in Paragraph 1 mean
A. Avoid. B. Allow. C. Love. D. Stop.
9. What did Beatriz Flamini do underground
A. She watched videos every day. B. She stayed alone for over a year.
C. She explored the cave’s secrets. D. She talked with scientists sometimes.
10 What did Beatriz Flamini suffer in the study
A. Disorder of body clock. B. Poor eyesight.
C. Complete loss of balance. D. Sudden deafness.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Extreme Isolation B. Power of Human Contact
C. Underground Experiences D. Astronauts’ Health Experiments
D
In many adults, learning and thinking begin to decline (衰退) as early as age 30 and become worse in their mid-60s, which is shown in tests of cognitive(认知的) abilities.
These changes are often considered as the result of normal aging. But they may instead show something more like the “summer slide” that some schoolchildren experience in study process during summer break. After formal education and job training end, many adults experience years of reduced chances of learning.
However, a three-month study Rachel Wu and her partners designed suggests that this decline can be addressed. In this study, they provided an encouraging learning environment for 24 older adults between 58 and 86 years of age. Before and after, they tested the cognitive abilities. The older adults signed up for at least three classes that met weekly to learn new skills, such as drawing, iPad using and Spanish-language learning. During this period, the adults’ cognitive scores for memory improved greatly, and their cognitive abilities after one year were similar to those of adults 50 years younger.
The team is still investigating why their cognitive scores continued to climb after the program’s end, but one possibility is that the experience encouraged these adults to continue learning and practice new skills. To be clear, the researchers do not think that formal education is the only or most important way to support learning. Their idea is to instead create encouraging environments for older adults, so they can increase both real-world skills and cognitive abilities over the long term.
“Use it or lose it,” the saying goes. Let’s change the conversation about adults from avoiding loss and decline, or keeping what people have, to learning and growing.
12. What leads to the decline in cognitive abilities
A. Age-related diseases. B. Slower processing speed.
C. Too many holiday breaks. D. Fewer learning experiences.
13. How did Rachel Wu and her partners conduct their research
A. By doing surveys. B. By arranging interviews.
C. By searching documents. D. By making comparisons.
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 4
A. Learning contributes to physical improvement.
B. Taking classes is key to cognitive development.
C. Positive learning environments should be created.
D. Older adults need to practice their language skills.
15. What’s the author’s attitude toward the study
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Worried.
