B)answer J)result
C)avoid K)review
D)aware L)rigorous
E)depart M)tend
F)drastically N)timidity
G)fear O)typically
H)limited
答案解析
26.G) 【語義判斷】本句意為：但你仍然充滿_____。由前一句可知，你知道只是一場噩夢，沒什么可怕的。本句與前一句構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折，因此空格處應(yīng)填入含有“害怕”意義的名詞，由此確定答案為G)fear。N)timidity表示“膽怯”,指缺乏勇氣，與句意不符，因此排除。
27.C)【語義判斷】本句意為：考慮到噩夢是多么令人不安和揮之不去，做夢的人有沒有辦法_____,甚至在這些糟糕的夢發(fā)生時關(guān)掉它們?空格后的or表示選擇關(guān)系，even 表示程度加深，因此空格處應(yīng)填入與turnoff意義相近的動詞原形，由此確定答案為C)avoid。 備選的其他動詞原形的詞義與turn off無關(guān)，因此排除。
28.H)【語義判斷】本句意為：研究是_____。本句信息較少，無法直接推斷出答案。根據(jù)后一分句“但有一些研究表明………”可知，空格處所表達的意思應(yīng)與后一分句成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，可以推出目前的研究還有限，結(jié)合備選形容詞詞義，可確定答案為H)himited。另外幾個備選詞中，D)aware 的主語是人，I)mechanical不能修飾 research,rigorous與后面的分句不能構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故排除。
29.D)【語義判斷】本句意為：那些能夠掌握清醒夢的人——也就是能夠_____噩夢正在發(fā)生，甚至可能在不醒來的情況下控制噩夢。破折號之間的部分是插入語，對前面lucid dreaming“清醒夢”進行解釋。由此可知，所謂“清醒夢”就是知道噩夢 在發(fā)生，因此空格處應(yīng)填入含有“知道，意識到”意 義的形容詞，由此確定答案為D)aware。
30.B)【語義判斷】本句意為：那些能夠掌握清醒夢的人——也就是能夠意識到噩夢正在發(fā)生，甚至可能在不醒來的情況下控制噩夢——可能就有_____了。本段是對第二段提出的問題“有沒有方法避免甚至關(guān)掉噩夢?”所做的回答。很明顯，會清醒地做夢的人就可以關(guān)掉噩夢，因此空格處應(yīng)填入含有“答案，辦法”意義的名詞，由此確定答案為B)answer。
31.O)【語義判斷】本句意為：醫(yī)生_____不認為偶爾做噩夢是個問題。前一句提到，噩夢是人類經(jīng)歷的一部分，后一句提到，它們可能只是睡眠障礙的癥狀。由此可知，在醫(yī)生看來，噩夢是比較正常的，通常不會是大問題。因此空格處應(yīng)填入含有 “通?！币饬x的副詞，由此確定答案為O)typically。另外一個備選副詞F)drastically“急劇地”不符合句意，因此排除。
32.J)【語義判斷】本句意為：它們可能只是睡眠障礙的癥狀，可能是由不愉快的經(jīng)歷、壓力或某些藥物_____。空格所在的 that 從句是定語從句，修飾sleep disorder。由句意可知，that從句里提到的因素可以導(dǎo)致sleep disorder,因此空格處應(yīng)填入含有“由………引起”意義的動詞原形，由此確定答案為J)result 。備選的其他動詞原形中，除E)depart之外，其他均不能與介詞from 連用，但是 depart from表示“出發(fā)：違反(常規(guī)》”的意思，不符合句意，因此排除。
33.L)【語義判斷】本句意為：為了治療睡眠障礙，有很多得到了_____研究支撐的藥物和療法。本題可以用排除法。在備選形容詞中，D)aware不能作名詞的定語，即不能位于名詞之前，I)mechanica不能修飾research, 意義不通，因此排除這兩項。 H)limited意思是“有限的”,與句中a number of“大量的”相矛盾，因此排除。由此確定本題答案為L)rigorous,rigorous research表示“嚴格的研究”。
34.K)【語義判斷】本句意為：最近發(fā)表在《臨床睡眠醫(yī)學(xué) 雜志》上的一篇_____,分析了關(guān)于治療噩夢障礙的現(xiàn)有研究。由句意可知，發(fā)表在《臨床睡眠醫(yī)學(xué)雜志》上的這篇文章是對現(xiàn)有研究的梳理，在學(xué)術(shù)寫作中，這類文章屬于綜述性質(zhì)，因此空格處應(yīng) 填入含有“綜述”意義的名詞，由此確定答案為K) review。
35.M)【語義判斷】本句意為：我們所知道的就是，人們在睡眠周期的不同時間_____做不同類型的噩夢。備選項中符合要求的只有M)tend“往往”使 句意通順，故答案為M)。備選的其他動詞均沒有此含義，而且都不能與to do連用，因此排除。
Section B
Directions: In this section,you aregoing to read a passage with ten statements altached to it.Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.You may choosea paragraph more than once.Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.
Why it mattersthat teens arereading less
A)Most of us spend much more time with digital media than we did a decade ago.But today's teens have grown up with smartphones.Compared with teens a couple of decades ago,the way they interact with traditional media like books and movies is fundamentally different.
B)Analysis of surveys of over one million teens in the United States collected since 1976 reveals a major shift in how teens are spending their leisure time.Paper books are being ignored,in favor of screens.Digital devices are changing other behaviors,too.More and more,young people choose spending time on their electronic devices over engaging in other activities,regardless of the type.Indeed,by 2016,the averageAmerican high school senior said they spent six hours a day writing text messages,on social media, and online during their free time.And that covers just three activities,and if other digital media activities wereincluded,that estimate would no doubt rise.
C)Teens did not always spend that much time with digital media.Onlinetime has doubled since 2006,and social media use has moved from a periodic activity to a daily one inthe same period.By 2016,nearly nine out often young women in the 12th grade said they visited social media sites every day.Meanwhile,time spent playing video games rose from under an hour a day to an hour and a half on average.One out often American 8th grade students in 2016 spent 40 hours a week or moreplaying video games.Let me emphasize that this is equalto the time most adults spend per week at work.
D)If teens are spending so much time using electronic devices,does that mean they have to give up some other activities?Maybe not.Over the years,many scholars have insisted that time online does not necessarily take away time spent engaging with traditional media or on other activities.Some people,they argue,are just more interested in certainkinds ofmedia and entertainment.Thus,using more of one type of media does not necessarily mean less of the other.
E)That may be true,but that still does not tell us much about what happens across a whole generation ofpeople when time spent on digital media grows.Large surveys conducted over the course of many years tell us that American youth are not going to the cinema nearly as often as they did in the past.While 70 percent of 8th and 10th grade students used to go to the movies once a month or more,now only about half do this.More and more,watching a movie is something teens choose to do on their electronic devices. Why is this a problem?One reason is that going to the cinema is generally a social activity.Now,watching movies is something that most teens do alone.This fits a larger pattern.In another analysis,researchers found that today's teens go out with their friendsmuch lessoften than previousgenerations did.
F)But the trends related to movies are less disturbing compared with the change in how teens spend their time.Research has revealed an enormous decline in reading.In 1980, about 60 percent of senior high school students said they read a book,newspaper or magazine every day that was not assigned for school.By 2016,only 16 percent did. This is a huge drop and it is important to note that this was not merely a decline in reading paper books,newspapers or magazines.The survey allowed for reading materialsona digital device
G)Indeed,the numberof seniorhigh school students who said they had not read any books for pleasure in the last year was one out of three by 2016.That is triple the number from two decades ago.For today's youth,books,newspapers and magazines have less and less of a presence in their daily lives.Of course,teens are still reading. But they are generally reading short texts.Most of them are not reading long articles or books that explore deep themes and require critical thinking and reflection.Perhaps not accidentally,in 2016 reading scores were the lowest they have ever been since 1972.
H)This might present problems for young people later on.When high school students go on to college,their past and current reading habits will influence their academic performance.Imagine going from reading texts as short as one or two sentences to trying to read entire books written in complex language and containing sophisticated ideas.Reading and comprehending longer books and chapters takes practice,and American teens are no longer getting that practice.
I)So how can this problem be solved?Should parents and teachers take away teens smartphones and replace them with paper books?Probably not.Research has shown that smartphones are currently American teens'main form of social communication This means that,without a smartphone,teens are likely to feel isolated from their peers. However,that does not mean teens need to use electronic devices as often as they do now.Data connecting excessive digital media time to mental health issues suggests a limit of two hours a day of free time spent with screens,a restriction that will also allow time for other activities—like going to the movies with friends or reading longer,more complicated texts
J)The latter is especially important.I wouldargue that of all the changes brought about by the widespread use of digital devices,the huge decline in reading is likely to have the biggest negative impact on today's teens because reading books and longer articles is one of the best ways to learn critical thinking.It helps people to understand complex issues and toseparate fact from fiction.Thus,deep reading is crucial for being a good citizen,a successful college student and a productive employee.If serious reading dies, a lot will go with it.
36.Many years'surveys reveal that youngpeople in America are going to the cinema much less often than they used to.
37.Survey analysis shows American teens now spend their leisure time on digital devices rather than reading printed books.
38.The numberof senior high schoolers not reading books for pleasure in a year increased three times over 20 years.
39.Many scholarsclaim that spending time on electronic devices doesn't necessarily mean a decrease of time for other activities
40.Most people spend much more time interacting with digital media than they did ten years ago.
41.The author claimsthat it will be a great loss if we no longer readbooksand longer articles.
42.Over a decade or so,American teens'social media use shifted from an occasional activity to a routine one.
43.A more disturbing trend in America today is that teensare spending far less time reading than around four decades ago.
44.Some five years ago,high school seniors in America generally spent more than six hours a dayon electronic devices.
45.It was found that American youngsters today don't socialize nearly as much as the earlier generations.

Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section.Each passage isfollowed by some questions or wnfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C)and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the coresponding leter on AnswerSheet 2 witha single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage
Have you ever wondered how acceptable itis to hug or touch someone?While it may sound safe to avoid all physical contact so as not to offend anyone,the lack of touching mightimply cold attitudes or indifference in interpersonal relationships.
So,what should we do?The simple answer is to thoroughly learn unique cultural norms for physical contact.In nonverbal communication terminology(術(shù)語),physical contact and the study of touching are generally referredto as haptics.
Haptics in communication of ten suggest the level of intimacy.They are usually classified into two groups:high-contact and low-contact.
Asia and quite surprisingly the United States,Canada and Britain belong to low-contact cultures.People from the rest of the world,such as Latin America,are considered to be in high-contact cultures,where they tend to expect touching in social interactions and feel more comfortable with physical closeness.Despite the classification there are more complex factors such as relational closeness,gender,age,and context that can affect how someone views physical contact.
One common French custom of greetings is cheek-kissing,but it is mostly restricted to friends,close acquaintances and family members.While cheek-kissing for Latin Americans is also a universal greeting form,it does not require such a high degree of relational closeness.However,gender matters more for them because check-kissing often only happens between women or a man and a woman but not two men.
In contrast,in certain Arabian,African,and Asian counries,men can publicly hold hands or show physical affection as signs of brotherhood or friendship while these behaviors may suggest a romantic relationship in other parts of theworld.Although men's touching is more normal in these cultures,physical contact between persons of opposite sexes who are not family members is negatively perceived in Arabian countries.
These factors coulddefinitely affect thedegreeto which someone is comfortable with tactile (觸覺的)communication and physical intimacy.Therefore,if you are someone who loves to show physical affection,you should not be afraid to show it or drastically change your behaviors just ask for consent beforehand!
46.What doesthe author say in the first paragraph about physical contact?
A)Its role in interpersonal relationships is getting increasingly important.
B)It is becoming more acceptable to many who used to think itoffensive.
C)Its absence might suggest a lack of warmth in interpersonal relationships
D)It mightpromptdifferent responses from people of different social backgrounds.
47.What does physical contact in communication suggest?
A)What social class people belong to.
B)How civilized the communicators are.
C)What family background people come from.
D)How close thecommunicators'relationships are.
48.Whatdo we learnabout people in high-contact cultures?
A)They are sensitive to the way people express their emotions.
B)They take touching as a cultural norm in social interactions
C)They attach great importance to close ties among people
D)Theytend tobe moreopen in interpersonalrelationships.
49.Whatdowe learn about social customs in Arabian countries?
A)Men can showfriendship in public through physical affection.
B)Non-traditional romantic relationships aresimply unacceptable.
C)Physical contact between unfamiliarpeople is negatively perceived

B)Learn to use appropriate body language first.
C)Pay attention to the differences between genders.
D)Take other people's preference into consideration.
答案解析
46.【定位】由題干中的 first paragraph和 physical contact定位到首段第二句。
C)【 精析】細節(jié)辨認題。定位句指出，雖然避免一切身體接觸以免冒犯任何人聽起來很穩(wěn)妥，但缺乏接觸可能意味著人際關(guān)系中的冷淡態(tài)度或漠不關(guān)心。由此可見，缺少身體接觸會讓人覺得你在人際交往中表現(xiàn)得不夠熱情，故答案為C)。
47.【定位】由題干中的physical contact、in communication和suggest定位到第二段最后一句和第三段第一句。
D)【精析】推理判斷題。由第二段最后一句可知，觸覺指的就是身體接觸和對觸碰的研究。第三段第一句提到，交流中的觸覺通常暗示著親密程度。由此可知，答案為D)。
48.【定位】由題干中的 people in high-contact cultures定位到第四段第二句。
B) 【 精析】推理判斷題。定位句指出，來自世界其他地區(qū)的人，如拉丁美洲人，被認為處于高接觸文化中，他們往往會在社交互動中期待接觸，并對身體上的親近感到更舒適。由此推斷出，觸摸是高接觸文化中的人在社交時的一種典型行為和習(xí)慣，屬于一種文化規(guī)范，故答案為B)。
49.【定位】由題干中的Arabian countries 定位到第六段第一句。
A)【精析】細節(jié)辨認題。定位句提到，在某些阿拉伯、非洲和亞洲國家，男性可以公開握手或有身體上的親近行為，并將其視為兄弟情誼或友誼的象征， 而在世界其他地區(qū)這些行為可能暗示戀愛關(guān)系。 由此可見，在阿拉伯國家，男性可以在公共場合通 過身體接觸來表達友誼，故答案為A)。
50.【定位】由題干中的tactile communication定位到 最后一段第一句。
D)【精析】推理判斷題。定位句指出，有些因素會影響人們對觸覺交流和身體親密的舒適程度。這就意味著不同人對身體接觸的接受度是不一樣的。 因此，作者在下一句提出建議，如果你是一個喜歡表現(xiàn)身體親近的人，要在有身體接觸之前征得對方允許，故答案為D)。
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage
From climate change to the ongoing pandemic(大流行病)and beyond,the issues facing today's world are increasingly complex and dynamic.Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional ways of thinking.A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology,Paul O'Keefe,found that having a growth mindset(思維傾向)of interest may spark this type of innovation.
Professor O'Keefe established in earlier studies thatpeople hold different beliefs about the nature of interest.Those with a growth mindset ofinterest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated,while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inherent(與生俱有的)and simply need to be 'found.'Building on these findings,the latest research examined how a growth mindset of interest can boost integrative thinking across the traditional disciplinary boundaries of arts and sciences.
For example,in one task,research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or Science programs at their university.After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated,the team found that people with a growth mindset of interest were more likely to bridge programs across the arts and sciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors thatdrew from only one of those areas,like computational chemistry.
As Professor O'Keefe pointed out,“This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for integrated and creative solutions.Take smartphones for example.You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge,but also an understanding of psychology and visual design to create a better product. Employees with a growth mindset may be more likely to devise innovative ideas thatbridge multiple areas of knowledge to achieve better solutions.”
The benefits of a growth mindset of interest may also extend to those seeking employment.This is a pressing issue because many people are becoming unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Having a growth mindset of interest can help job seekers expand their interests and become more adaptable to different fields,and take the initiative to learn newskills.
51.What does the author say about theworld today?
A)It faces problems that are getting morevaried and complicated.
B)It has done away with many of the traditional ways of thinking.
C)It isundergoing radical and profound changes.
D)It is witnessing various types ofinnovations.
52.What did Professor O'Keefe find inhis earlier studies?
A)People's interests tend to change with age.
B)People's interests determine their mindsets.
C)People are divided about thenatureof interest.
D)Peopleof different ages have different mindsets.
53.What is the focus o Professor O'Keefe's recent research?
A)How boundaries can be removed between arts and science disciplines.
B)How feasible it is to create new disciplines like computational economics.
C)How students in arts and sciences view the twotypesof mindset of interest.
D)How a growth mindset of interest can contribute to cross-disciplinary thinking.
54.What does the author want to illustrate with the example of smartphones?
A)Hi-tech products are needed in interdisciplinary research.
B)Improved technology gives birth to highly popular products.
C)Making innovative products needs multidisciplinary knowledge.
D)Hi-tech products can boost people's integrative thinking.
55.What is the author's suggestion to those who are seeking employment?
A)Learning practicalskills
B)Broadening their interests.
C)Staying safe inthe pandemic.
D)Knowing their pressingissues.
