答案：36—40 CCDBB
I looked through the window of the charminglittle violin shop, and my heart began to race.
I’d been out to dinner that evening. Since itwasn’t dark yet after the meal, I decided to walk home from the restaurant. Ihad traveled that way before, yet I had never noticed that old little shop. Butthat night I felt drawn to the violin shop the moment I came across it.
I wiped the dirt from the window to get abetter look inside. Several violins hung from the dark walls, quietly waitingto be chosen. As my eyes rested on them, I felt as though I were lookingthrough a window into my own past.
My childhood was all about the pursuits I hadattempted, most of which had been chosen by Mom. She was like, “Join the swimteam, Tara. Your sister is a good swimmer; surely you will be, too. ”What sherefused to acknowledge, however, was that I was visibly afraid of water.
Every Saturday I begged Mom not to make me goto the swim meet, but had little chance of success. That said, with a bang ofthe starting gun, I would dive into the cold water with all my strength andswim to the other side of the pool as fast as I could, only to find that theother swimmers slid past me. I would have given it up if I had not heard myfather’s encouraging shouts to cheer me on. When at last my hand would grab theedge of the pool, he would always be there with a warm, dry towel, telling mehow proud he was of my desperate efforts.
Then came a turning point in my life the dayour school orchestra (管弦乐队)visited my class, and gave a demonstration. The drums annoyed me. The flutes (笛子) bored me. But theviolin…ah, the violin. It made the sweetest sound I’d ever heard! My heart wasdancing along with its flowing tune. For the first time in my life, I went sowild with joy.
Tightly holding the permission slip from theorchestra director, I ran all the way home after school, and shakily handed itto my parents with a fear that they might dismiss my desire. They didn’t. Momwas thrilled to see me finally excited about something, and Dad winked (眨眼示意) at me while eagerlysigning the slip.
I began practicing the violin with greatpassion, and rose quickly in ability. Before long I had won the first seat inthe community orchestra …
39. What did the sight of the violins in thatlittle shop bring to Tara’s mind?
A. Her miserable past.
B. An unforgettable sport event.
C. The stories behind the violins.
D. Her childhood memory.
40. What Dad did for Tara during the swimmingcompetition implies that he is ______.
A. mindless and bad-tempered
B. caring and supportive
C. strict and demanding
D. tolerant and sympathetic
41. What fascinated Tara during her schoolorchestra’s demonstration?
A. The tune of the flutes.
B. The beat of the drums.
C. The sound of the violin.
D. The manner of the musicians.
A. The steady improvement in her taste.
B. Her strong desire for success.
C. Her natural gift for music.
D. The rapid progress in her ability.
43. What message does Tara’s story convey?
A. It’s never too young to learn.
B. A passionate interest works wonders.

答案：41—45 DBCDB
Getting the “side-eye” look from your dog canmake it seem like they are making a judgement about you, and some new studiessuggest they really could be.
The ability to judge others’ intentions is anindicator of possessing “theory of mind” which was once thought to be unique tohumans. However, new studies have shown that dogs can read human behaviour andhave a preference to people who are more friendly or generous with food.
One such study published in 2023 aimed to seeif dogs can tell the difference between humans who are “unwilling” or “unable”to give them a treat. 96 dogs were involved in both “unwilling” and “unable”scenarios (情境) designedfor the study. Both scenarios involved a dog being placed on one side of aglass screen with small holes in it at nose-height, and an experimenterstanding on the other. In the ’unwilling’ scenario, the experimenter would hanga piece of sausage in front of the screen in a ’teasing’ (戏耍的) manner, andapproach one of the holes. But instead of passing it through the hole to thedog, they would then pull it out of its reach. For the “unable” scenario, theexperimenter would again move the treat towards the hole while the dog watched,but “accidentally” drop it before they could pass it through.
The researchers observed that the dogs weremuch more patient, making more eye contact and staying closer to the screenafter the “unable” scenario played out. In the “unwilling” scenario, however,the dogs looked at the experimenter less often, sat, lay down and wanderedaround more frequently.
Another study from 2021 tested for “theory ofmind” in dogs in a similar way, but the dogs were able to walk round the screento obtain the treat after witnessing the experimenter’s “unwilling” or “unable”behaviour. The main finding was that the dogs approached the experimentersignificantly sooner in the unable scenario than in the unwilling scenario.
However, the researchers of the 2023 studychallenged that the food dropped on the floor in the clumsy (笨拙的) manner might havemotivated the dogs to approach the experimenter considering that they probablyoften obtain food dropped on the floor in their daily lives.
Now, more evidence has been provided thatdogs distinguish between similar actions associated with different intentions.But how exactly they acquire such intention-reading abilities will be anexciting topic for future research.
A. Dogs also have “theory of mind”.
B. Dogs prefer food from generous people.
C. Human behaviours are mostly intentional.
D. Friendly animals can get food more easily.
A. They acted awkwardly while feeding thedog.
B. They pretended to walk slowly away fromthe dog.
C. They teased the dog by fixing the treat tothe screen.
D. They pulled the sausage beyond the dog’sreach.
46. How did the dogs of the 2023 studyrespond to the “unable” behaviour?
A. By moving closer to the experimenter.
B. By keeping wandering around.
C. By ignoring the experimenter.
D. By lying still on the floor
47. How does the experiment design of the2021 study differ from that of 2023?
A. The dogs can watch the experimenter.
B. The dogs can go to the other side of thescreen.
C. The dogs’ responses are under closeobservation.
D. The dogs’ habitual behaviours are underanalysis.
A. Dogs can tell “being friendly” from “beingmean”
B. Dogs’ intelligence is gradually evolving.
C. Dogs’ intentions can be easily identified.
D. Dogs are a lot more emotional than otheranimals.
答案：46—50 ADABA
Storytelling is an ancient art form that hasbeen used to hand down legends, tales and factual stories. Perhaps the firstthing that springs to mind when you think of storytelling is the fantasy landthat took shape in your mind while Mom or Dad told you stories about princes,castles and monsters, with a unique voice for each character.
Storytelling does not just take place atbedtime or round a campfire, however. It can take some other forms, either viathe books we read or the films we watch. But they usually have some elements incommon: rather than a list of dry facts, stories have plots and they introducecharacters. We respond to stories, particularly when there is emotional detail.
And unlike what we suppose, storytelling isnot just a form of entertainment, but a form of learning as well. Long beforereading and writing became widely spread and available, oral storytelling hadalready been a form that the wisdom and knowledge of the people were passeddown from elders to children. A good story engages our curiosity, emotions andimagination.
Storytelling helps with learning also becausestories are easy to remember. Research has found that learning obtained from awell-told story is remembered more accurately, and for far longer, than fromfacts and figures.
And above all, stories have a transformativepower to allow us to see the world in a different way than we do if we justencounter it on our own. Stories are an entry point to understanding adifferent experience of the world.
This aspect of storytelling-presenting adifferent perspective of the world—is important when it comes to connectingwith each other. It gives us an opportunity to learn from another person’sexperience and it can shape, strengthen or challenge our opinions and values.So, when someone tells us their own personal story, we catch a glimpse (瞥见) of a view of theworld that may be slightly or significantly different from our own. When we seethe world as they see it, or walk in their shoes, the experience can inspireempathy (共情；同理心) withthem.
49. What occurs to us the moment we think of“storytelling”?
A. A child’s imaginary world.
B. Voices of Mom or Dad.
C. An ancient art form.
D. Factual stories.
50. What are the common elements in all formsof storytelling according to the author?
A. Form and style.
B. Facts and figures.
C. Emotional and physical details.
D.A series of events and characters.
A. It carries more wisdom and knowledge.
B. It is more widely available to younglearners.
C. It satisfies our imagination and releasesour emotions.
D. It makes what is learned more precise andlonger lasting.
52. How can other people’s personal storiesprobably benefit us?
A. By offering us more opportunities to knowpeople.
B. By helping us stay connected with thecontemporary world.
C. By allowing us to understand the world theway they see it.
D. By enabling us to tell reality fromimagination.
53. What makes the best title for thepassage?
A. The History of Storytelling
B. The Power of Storytelling

During one morning ride, Cruse noticed akindergartner seemed a little sad. When Cruse asked him what was wrong, the boyexplained that he wasn’t able to complete his reading assignment because hisparents were busy with his four siblings (兄弟姐妹).
