Like many other families, we packed a small backpack with sliced turkey sandwiches and juice boxes—eating in New York City is expensive. Kerry was wide-eyed and a little overwhelmed.As the train pulled into the terminal （终点站） , everyone rose and anxiously waited to head toward the parade route along Fifth Avenue. We waited until everyone stepped off onto the platform. As we walked up to the entrance to the terminal, Kerry spotted a homeless woman sitting in the shadows, invisible to all except my curious daughter. “What's that ” she asked in confusion. Linda and I looked at each other. We gave a simple and honest explanation.The following year, we decided to attend the parade again. So the night before Thanksgiving we went shopping for sliced turkey for sandwiches. Again, Kerry caught us off guard. “Can we bring some sandwiches for those people ” she asked. We knew immediately whom she meant. This was a golden opportunity to honor Kerry's sense of charity. That night we prepared two dozen sandwiches into our overstuffed backpack.The next morning we took the train into Manhatan again but there was a different excitement in our little family. We were still inside the terminal when Kerry spotted the first homeless man siting motionless in a dark corner. She extracted a sandwich and took it over to him. Neither spoke a word. Then we were off to the parade, stopping along the way to distribute the rest of the sandwiches, except one for each of us. Somehow, no giant Thanksgiving sit-down feast ever tasted as good as those sandwiches.Decades later, Kerry still fulfills her sense of kindness and generosity on this day, and passes on her good example with her daughters. There's nothing like sharing a turkey sandwich with new friends.24. Why did the author take some sandwiches on the first parade A. To follow in others' footsteps. B. To save expenses on food.C. To obey the parade tradition. D. To distribute them to homeless people.25. What made Kerry confused at the terminal A. That some people were homeless.B. Where they could go for the parade.C.

Helping others is helping ourselves.B. One should do things independently.C. Performing acts of kindness is a good virtue.D. Traditional festivals should not be forgotten.CThe rainforests are alive with the sound of animals. If you want to measure the biodiversity of a land, listen for animal calls rather than dig for tracks. But such “bioacoustic （生物声音） analysis” is time-consuming and requires an expert pair of ears.A group of researchers led by Jorg Muller, an ecologist at the University of Wurzburg in Germany, describe a better way: have a computer do the job. Smartphone apps already exist that identify birds, bats or mammals simply by listening to their sounds. Their idea was to apply the principle to conservation work. The researchers took recordings from 43 sites in the Ecuadorean rainforest. Sound recordings were taken four times every hour, over two weeks. The various calls were identified by an expert, and then used to construct a list of the species present. As expected, the longer the land had been free from agricultural activity, the greater the biodiversity it hosted.Then it was the computer's turn. The researchers put their recordings into artificial-inteligence models that had been trained, using sound samples from elsewhere in Ecuador, to identify 75 bird species from their calls. “We found that the AI tools could identify the sounds as well as the experts,” says Dr. Muller.Since not everything in a rainforest makes a noise, Dr. Muller and his colleagues used light- traps to capture night-flying insects, and DNA analysis to identify them. Reassuringly, they found that the diversity of noisy animals was a reliable replacement for the diversity of the quieter ones, too.The results may have relevance outside ecology departments, too. Under pressure from their customers, firms such as L'Oreal, a make-up company, and Shell, an oil firm, have been spending money on forest restoration projects. Dr. Muller hopes that an automated approach to checking the results could help monitor such efforts, and give a standardised way to measurewhether they are working as well as their sponsors say.28. What's the disadvantage of bioacoustic analysis A. It calls for some digging work.B. It takes an expert a lot of time.C. It can only be performed on land. D. It can't be done on a large scale.29. How did the researchers carry out their research A. They fed the recordings to AI models for identification.B. They strengthened the reservation of the rainforest species.C. They limited agricultural activities to allow for biodiversity.D. They built up a list of endangered species for protection.30. What does the author indicate by mentioning L'Oreal and Shell A. The AI model can be used in research on automation.B. Customers have realized the importance of the research.C. Large companies have taken action to protect the environment.D. The research can help measure the effect of forest restoration.31. What can be a suitable title for the text A. Promote Rainforest Biodiversity Through AIB. Protect a Forest's Inhabitants by ListeningC. Identify the Calls of the Wild With AI AidD. Find a Way to Monitor Deforestation SituationDScientists who study the intersection of conflict and human behavior say it's essential to understand the biology behind some of these bitter interactions. As social beings, humans form strong bonds with groups that could help us survive against outside threats.Olga Klimecki, a neurology researcher in Germany, says brain scans show how powerfully social identity can shape our emotional response to situations. For example, if someone sees a fellow member of the group in pain, the brain will react with empathy. “My brain would imitate the suffering of the other person by reactivating how I feel when I'm feeling bad,” Klimecki explains. But if it is an adversary who is experiencing pain, the same empathetic region of the brain isn't active, and we also see more activation related to joy.Worse still, conflict literally weakens our brain's ability to feel love. Klimecki says studies show couples who just argued have less activity in regions of the brain that sense attachment and fondness. Conflict deepens quickly when we feel it threatening things we hold dearest—our values or our people. We dig in deeper, becoming less rational （理性的）.So, facing an urgent situation first requires releasing a brain dominated by defensive emotion. Phillips, a veteran conflict-resolution expert, says it means saying to your opponent, for example: “I understand this is core to your identity and your community, and I respect your sacred values.”If you're in a heated argument, Klimecki, the neurologist, suggests taking “microbreaks” to help regain perspective. She also suggests taking measures to reduce stress, because stress reduces function in a part of the brain that helps us think rationally. So, she advises getting more sleep, trying deep breathing or thinking of something that makes you feel positive. All these can cut down stress and give you greater capacity to handle conflict better, and hopefully keep dialogue open with your friends and loved ones, even when you disagree.32. What does Olga Klimecki find in his research A. People show their weakness facing threats.B. We tend to show great sympathy to the weak.C. We have a social identity to protect ourselves.D. Social identity decides our situational response.33. What does the underlined word “adversary” in paragraph 2 mean A. Friend. B. Enemy. C. Victim. D. Volunteer.34. What do the studies of arguing couples show A. People in conflict don't see things rationally.B. Conflicts arise when the brain senses no love.C. We need a sense of attachment to stop conflict.D. Fondness of each other helps couples face threats.35. What does the last paragraph focus on A. How to connect with people of the same identity.B. Where to seek help in time of a heated argument.C. What to do to become rational after an argument.D. Who to rely on to remove your irrational feeling.第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。Toymakers are developing new games to target people aged over 65 . They suggest the products could help older people increase their brain skills.36However, some experts have raised doubts about their claims.37It's now including images of older people in its marketing efforts. The move came after the company Educational Insights noticed last year that its toys were popular with older customers. Long before the pandemic, many adults purchased Legos or collectible items to connect with their inner child. During the pandemic, many adults used animals and robotic pets as companions during lockdown.38About 5 percent of the total U. S. toy sales are for males ages 35 and over, up 13 percent since last year. About 4 percent of total U. S. toy sales are for females ages 35 and over, up 9 percent since last year.39But grandparents who bought toys for their grandchild have big spending power. And grandparents spent on average 7 percent more per toy than the total market during the fourth quarter of 2022. They make up the highest. amount spent across all buyer groups.Still, some scientists warn of these products' limitations. Brain games like crossword puzzles help preserve mental abilities such as reasoning or thinking.40It's such cognitive skills that determine how we perform everyday living activities, such as job performance or maintaining independent living. Additionally, researchers also said that there is limited evidence to date that playing games can greatly reduce loneliness.A. They could also reduce loneliness.B. But the games don't promote the cognitive skills.C. There has been a sharp growth of the trend ever since.D. Educational Insights produces toys for young children.E. Sales data for the over 65 group hasn't been estimated.F. Evidence shows that toy sales are targeted at adult buyers.G. People get better in specific skills if they play the games.第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。I came to the U. S. for my undergraduate studies.

I hadn't decided whether to fly home for Thanksgiving yet. Although I had missed the holiday the year before, I didn't have the money for the ticket, plus I wasn't sure I could get enough time off from my part-time job.All that wondering changed when my mom called. She got right to the point: “Your grandmother isn't doing well. Your dad and I decided you should fly out there for Thanksgiving. We thought you would want to come along so I covered your ticket. We'll fly from Alabama, and you can fly from Minnesota. We will meet in Northern Califomia the afternoon before Thanksgiving. Your dad and the younger kids will join us shortly later.”I met her at the Oakland airport, and we took a taxi to our hotel. When we got in the door, Mom called my grandpa, “We would like to come over and enjoy this Thanksgiving together, Dad.” Mom was anxious to see her parents, especially her mother, who was really fragile. When we finally got to their house, we got to say hello and then Grandpa helped Grandma lie down again and led us to the living room, telling us we would eat Thanksgiving dinner at noon. Then he went into the kitchen.Soon Dad, my brother Peer and my sister Mary arrived, joining us. Mom paced the floor. Finally, I asked her what the matter was. “He can't cook,” she murmured. “How's he supposed to fix a Thanksgiving meal for us ” I tried to reason with her. “Can't you smell the dinner Grandma is upstairs resting. Grandpa is the only one who could be cooking.” But we couldn't see through the kitchen door.She had an idea. “Let's sneak out of the front door and see what's going on.

It's low tide now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen.”“I understand,” I replied, “but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach.
