Not long ago, my fifth-grade son Kevin asked me about the meaning of a word in a novel. “Look it up,” I responded. “But my screen time is off,” he said. I looked pointedly at the bookshelf that held at least three dictionaries, and Kevin sighed（叹气）dramatically. “Can’t youjust use your phone?”he asked.Suddenly it occurred to me that he did not even know how to use a dictionary.
I took down one of the dictionaries, and we read it together for a few minutes before I handed it to him. It took him a few tries to find the word in question. While going through the pages, he kept saying, wide-eyed: “How can there be this many words?”After a while, he looked at me and asked, “Do you know all these words,Mom?”I smiled. “I definitely do not know all these words,” I said. “But that’s why this is one of my favorite books.”
I had my first dictionary as a gift for my 13th birthday. I decided that I wanted to learn as many words as I could and started marking every entry I looked up with a pencil to measure my progress. I continued to make these pencil marks for years, and when I went off to college, I packed that dictionary in my suitcase.
Kevin wanted to see the dictionary. I felt a small pain in my chest. The dictionary was stolen at the end of my freshman year of college. “That’s so sad,” he said, “but you still know all those words, even without the book.” I realized that this was true. I still made it through the next three years of college, even without the book. And it wasn’t, ultimately,the dictionary that got me there—not really.
Now I understand that although my son may be learning differently, he is still learning. It’s not about the words themselves or how we learn them, but the wanting to know them,the curiosity and the appetite.
24. What does Kevin usually do to get the meaning of a word?
A. Use electronic devices. B. Consult a paper dictionary.
C. Guess from the context. D. Turn to his English teacher.
25. How did Kevin feel while looking up the word in the dictionary?
A. Annoyed. B. Disappointed.
C. Encouraged. D. Astonished.
26. What can we learn about the author’s first dictionary?
A. It helped her through college.
B. It was given to Kevin as a gift.
C. It bore witness to her efforts.
D. It was a valuable limited edition.
27. What has the author come to realize about learning?
A. It is never too late to start.
B. Motivation is what really matters.
C. Children need role models.
D. Dictionaries are still a useful tool.
C
In line with longstanding initiatives to expand its green spaces, New York City is planting tens of thousands of trees each year. They provide shade, lower surface temperatures, absorb a surprising amount of airborne carbon, remove tiny pollutants, and provide wildlife habitat along with just plain beauty.
Somethingcouldgo wrong, though, according toa newstudy. Oaksandsweetgums,which currently account for a majority of the city’s trees, produce huge amounts of a chemical substance called isoprene. Harmless by itself, isoprene interacts rapidly with polluting nitrogen oxides released by vehicles, buildings and industry to form ground-level ozone（臭氧）—a major factor in many breathing problems.
The research, carried out by scientists at the Columbia Climate School and other institutions, found that if the city maintains past species patterns in new plantings, isoprene production in Manhattan in coming decades will go up by about 140%, and resulting summer ozone levels as much as 30%.
“We’re all for planting more trees. They bring so many good things,” said study coauthor Róisín Commane. “But if we’re not careful, we could make air quality worse.”
The Parks Department is notoblivious to the issue. Astudy carried out by some of its researchers several years ago concluded that city trees did release isoprene. “We didn’t make a big deal of that,” said Novem Auyeung, a Parks Department senior scientist. She said trees should not be viewed as the enemy. “We could plant any trees we want to,if we just rethink our car-centric lifestyle,” she said.
“We’re not going to go cutting down any big old oaks, and neither will the department completely stop planting new ones,” said Auyeung. “You have to think about what you would lose if you do that.” Oaks are keystone species,she pointed out, providing food and habitat for native insects, birds and other animals.
28. What does the new study imply regarding oaks and sweetgums?
A. They affect the growth of other trees.
B. They absorb less carbon than expected.
C. They harm people's health indirectly.
D. They raise the local temperature slowly.
29. Which of the following may Commane suggest based on their study?
A. Cutting down the isoprene-producing trees.
B. Suspending tree-planting for a few decades.
C. Changing the species of trees in new plantings.
D. Removing isoprene released by existing trees.
30. What does the underlined phrase “oblivious to” in paragraph 5mean?
A. Honest about. B. Unaware of.
C. Related to. D. Optimistic about.
31. What would Auyeung probably advocate?
A. Reducing car use in daily life. B. Providing animals with new habitats.
C. Controlling population growth. D. Doing more research on the problem.
D
A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive（认知的）effects of merely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.
In the study, 187 people were invited to visit Kettle’s Yard gallery during an exhibition of handmade clay objects. Participants were randomly divided into two groups: the “beauty”group was asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed, while the control group just matched a line drawing of the object with the artwork itself. All participants were then tested on how they process information, and whether it’s in a more practical or abstract way.
Across all participants, those in the beauty group scored almost 14%higher on average than the control group in abstract thinking. While they were told the study was about cognitive processes, participants were asked about interests, with around half saying they had an artistic hobby. Among those,the effect was greater: those with an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25%higher on average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.
Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while completing the gallery task. Across all participants, those in the beauty group reported an average of 23%higher levels of “transformative and self-transcendent feelings”—such as feeling moved, enlightened and inspired—than the control group. Importantly, however, the beauty group did not report feeling any happier than the control group, suggesting that it was the engagement with beautythat influenced abstract thinking, rather than any overall positivity from the experience.
“We usually think in very concrete terms when doing something on a screen,” said Simone Schnall, senior author of the study. “It’s becoming much rarer to zone out and just let the mindwander, but that’s when we think in ways that broaden our minds. Admiring the beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.”
32. What was the beauty group asked to do with the clay objects?
A. Draw their outlines. B. Give each piece a rating.
C. Compare their prices. D. Make a copy of each piece.
33. Which participants got the highest score on average in the test?
A. Beauty group, with an artistic hobby. B. Beauty group, without an artistic hobby.
C. Control group, with an artistic hobby. D. Control group, without an artistic hobby.
34. Why were the participants’emotional states measured?
A. To discover their attitudes towards art.
B. To identify their specific thinking patterns.
C. To examine the difficulty of the tasks.
D. To determine factors behind the test results.
35. What is the major finding of the study regarding the appreciation of art?
A. It enhances emotional ties. B. It needs critical thinking skills.
C. It creates positive feelings. D. It encourages abstract thinking.

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。
Emily Sanders, a 25-year-old from Detroit, Michigan, set out on December 23rd with high hopes of reaching Toronto to meet her boyfriend for Christmas. Although she had heard warnings about an approaching snowstorm,she didn’t give it much thought. She assumed that much like in Michigan,
police would simply detour（使绕道）traffic around any closed sections of the highway. But that didn’t happen. As the snow came down more and more heavily, Emily was directed off the highway. She drove on for a while and found herself on an unfamiliar road toward a Canadian town.
The blinding whiteout made driving nearly impossible. At one point, Emily’s car got stuck. After a struggle, she managed to free the vehicle and continued inching along the snow-covered road. As night fell, panic set in. While Emily was driving on a narrow stretch of road, her car slid into a ditch（沟）. She tried to call for help but found no signal on her phone. Seeing no hope of immediate rescue, Emily decided to spend the night in her car. She wrapped herself in a blanket, waiting for morning. To stay warm, she ran her engine for a few minutes every now and then. Eventually,she fell asleep.
Emily awoke to a gentle knock on her car window. Standing outside were Daniel and his wife Rachel, who noticed the stranded（被困的）vehicle on their way home and stopped to see if theycould help. When Emily rolled down the window, Rachel asked if she was okay and told her it was not safe to stay overnight in the car. With genuine warmth in her voice,Rachel said they could take Emily to a nearby cafe they knew. Grateful and relieved, Emily accepted the offer.
In the cafe, the couple bought Emily a hot chocolate and listened patiently as she explained her desperate situation:she was about a hundred miles from her destination, her car was completely stuck,and her entire holiday plan could be ruined.
