My mom was admitted to the ICU. I got the news 10 minutes before I was scheduled to be interviewed for a higher position. It was unprofessionally last minute to cancel. But I knew I couldn’t give it my full attention. So, I emailed to explain. The program office r replied immediately, urging me to focus on my family. “The overall goal over the coming weeks is to just be a good daughter,” she said. “We can wait.”
Since my mother’s cancer diagnosis (诊断), she has overcome many obstacles, for which we are incredibly grateful. But as the years passed and I mixed my caregiving role with my professional responsibilities, I found myself increasingly falling short at work. I was missing events because I was with her for treatments. I didn’t apply to training because I couldn’t focus. I was making silly mistakes, forgetting things and asking for extensions. I feared I was letting down my colleagues.
But in time, I came to feel I was in the right place. As it happens, my research is in a field seeking to assess and improve health care. With my mother’s illness, I suddenly went from studying it in a removed way to being completely, heartbreakingly in the middle of it. Besides the helplessness, stress, and sadness, I found I just couldn’t turn off my research brain, studying her care and texting colleagues with ideas, which reassured me that even though I was currently only giving my career about 50% of attention, I was more engaged than ever with my scientific questions.
I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur (模糊). I received empathy, understanding and kindness from my program officer and colleagues. I learned how being weak brought out the best in people. I no longer try to predict what will happen next. Instead, I try to focus on my newfound appreciation for the things like friendship, connection, and sometimes unexpected support. And although I sometimes miss the clean boundaries I used to have, I’ve learned to embrace the blurriness.

You’d never mistake a goat for a dog but on an unreasonably warm afternoon, I almost do. I’m on a farm in northern Germany, trying to keep my head due to work stress. Sixty Nigeria goats are taking turns crashing their horns (角) against wooden fences. Then, during the chaos, something remarkable happens. One of the animals raises her head and stares thoughtfully at me, her widely spaced eyes and odd pupils seeking to make contact — and perhaps even connection.
It’s a look we see in other humans, in our pets and in our primate (灵长类) relatives, but not in animals raised for food. Or maybe we just haven’t been looking hard enough.
That’s a cool idea here at Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN), one of the world’s leading centers for exploring the minds of goats, pigs and other livestock. Scientists here are exploring the mental and emotional lives of animals we’ve lived with for thousands of years, yet, from a cognitive (认知的) perspective, know almost nothing about.
The work is part of an effort to overturn the idea that livestock are dumb and unworthy of scientific attention. Over the past decade, researchers at FBN and elsewhere have shown that pigs show signs of empathy and that goats match dogs in some tests of social intelligence. What shocks some experts is that cows can be potty (便盆) trained, suggesting a self-awareness behind the blank stares and chewing.
“There’s a lot to be learned by studying the mental lives of these creatures,” says Christopher, a Johns Hopkins university psychologist. Disregarding livestock, he says, has been a “missed opportunity” by the scientific community. The field faces challenges, however. Farm animals can be huge, many are hard to train, and traditional funders and standard journals have generally rejected such studies. But as scientists push past these obstacles, they are getting insights not only into minds of livestock, but into the evolution of our own cognition. What they learn could even change the way we house and treat these creatures.
8. Why does the author mention Nigeria goats
A. To conserve wild life. B. To conduct researches.
C. To relieve work stress. D. To introduce livestock studies.
9. Which of the following has been confirmed by scientists
A. Nigeria goats are mild animals.
B. Pigs can relate to others in some cases.
C. Goats beat dogs in some intelligence tests.
D. Self-awareness exists behind the goats’ blank stares.
10. Why are the farm animal studies ignored
A. Farm animals are stupid.
B. These studies lack practical values.
C. Few sponsors are willing to fund those studies.
D. Farm animals are unworthy of scientific research.
11. What is Christopher’s attitude towards farm animal studies
A. Dismissive. B. Favorable. C. Objective. D. Cautious.
D
Mobile phones are set to be prohibited in schools across England as part of the government’s plan to minimize disturbance and improve behavior in classrooms. New mobile phones in schools guidance issued today backs headteachers in prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day, including at break times.
Many schools around the country are already prohibiting mobile phone use with great results. This guidance will ensure there is a uniform approach across all schools.
By the age of 12, 97% of children have their own mobile phone, according to Ofcom. Too much time spent on mobile phones in schools can lead to online bullying, distraction and classroom disturbance which, in turn, can lead to lost learning time.
Last year, UNESCO called for smartphones to be banned from schools as evidence showed it was linked to reduced educational performance and that too much screen time had a negative impact on children’s well-being.
Schools will be supported to prohibit mobile phone use with different approaches including banning phones from the school handing in phones on arrival at school, and keeping phones securely locked away at school.
The guidance will respond to concerns from parents about mobile phones, with the latest data from Parent Kind’s National Parent Survey, revealing that 44% of parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend on electronic devices, rising to 50% of parents of secondary school children.
“We are making long-term decisions to ensure all pupils have world class education. This guidance builds on that work which has delivered 89% of schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, up from just 68% in 2010. Our plan is working with school standards rising across the board. England has leveled up the international rankings for academic attainment through our multimillion-pound Maths and English program. We are now one of the top performing countries in the Western world for Maths and reading. The government will continue to build on this progress by delivering crucial reforms including by creating the Advanced British Standard.” Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said.
12. What does the underline word “uniform” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Consistent. B. Critical. C. Contradictory. D. Conventional.
13. Which of the following approach is NOT backed by the new guidance
A. Introducing phone lockers in the school. B. Disabling the Internet access in the school.
C. Requiring students to hand in phones on campus. D. Restricting students from taking phones to school.
14 Which adjective can best describe the new guidance
A. Well-grounded. B. Cost-effective. C. Energy-consuming. D. Ground-breaking.
15. What is mainly talked about in the text
A. Mobile phones use meets with opposition in British schools.
B. A new guidance of mobile phones in schools has come into effect.
C. British education has made great achievements in the past few years.
D. The British government rises to the challenges posed by parents actively.

___17___ It expands pictures and colors words, and often adds a form of energy available through no other source. Music matching the main message of an advertisement has a positive effect on consumer engagement. It can result in enhanced attention, a positive emotional response and improved brand recall. Thus, it contributes to the effectiveness of an advertisement.

Hundreds of viewer comments about the music used in advertising suggested it was successful.
Music is also effective at triggering feelings of nostalgia (怀旧之情). The emotional memories music arouses in advertisements serves as a reminder of consumers’ past experiences. ___19___
However, the use of popular music in advertising can also cause arguments around the tension between artistic effort and commercialism. Consumers sometimes passionately oppose the use of music produced by respected musicians in advertisements. ___20___ For example, Nike’s use of Beatles’ song Revolution was seen by some as using Lennon’s lyrics to sell shoes. It made some Nike wearers so angry that they refused to buy the products.
A. It highlights greatness and elegance.
B. Music is the facilitator of advertising.
C. Music helps cut down the cost of advertising.
D. This, in turn, helps business reap commercial benefit.
E. They believe that doing this destroys the beauty of music.
F. It’s a popular art form which accompanies our daily lives.
G. But some people argue using music is a way to show respect for musicians.

57. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Sadness hit me when I realized that 4 p. m. had gone unnoticed. Every day, a few minutes before the hour, my cute dog, Jake, would stare at me, pushing me to get his dinner. Now Jake is gone, and the disappearance of the comforting pace he brought to my days is like a minute-by-minute reminder of my loss. Friends comfort me by telling me I saved him. But a rescue organization did that. By the time I met him, he had already been saved, just not settled.
The real story is that Jake saved me. Before Jake, I was living in a total mess, addicted madly to video games. I lost interest in any schoolwork and skipped classes a lot. Electronic devices were what I cared about most. My parents were deeply concerned about me but it’s tricky to handle a stubborn teenager, taking the wrong way. Shortly afterwards, I dropped out of school.
It felt so good at the very beginning. I locked myself inside my bedroom, lost in violent games and losing track of time and meals. Fights with parents occurred frequently. I thought my life would be that forever, but one day, without any trace, those games couldn’t interest me anymore. I sank into a deep sorrow, feeling everything in my life was blank and meaningless. That lifelessness swallowed me whole. I was consumed with boredom and emptiness. I was separated from the world by a sheet of dirty glass. Me on inside, everything and everyone else on the other. I avoided socializing. I rarely reached out. I assumed the worst in people and figured they saw the worst in me. My parents were anxious and appointed a therapist for me.
That’s when I first met Jake. I was waiting for a traffic light when I spotted an adoption event and then Jake, with his big eyes drooping (低垂), in which I saw his pain, just as he saw mine. I could tell his eyes glittered when approached. After living a whole irresponsible life, I decided to be responsible for something.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为 150左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
I adopted him without hesitation, thus opening a new chapter of his life.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Jake, too, witnessed great changes in me.

参考答案与解析
第一部分 听力 略
1. C 2. D 3. C
【解析】（1）细节理解题。根据Eye Health标题下的“Eye Health High concentrations of DHA are found in the pupil of the eye. DHA helps maintain eye health.(眼睛健康瞳孔中含有高浓度的二十二碳六烯酸。DHA有助于保持眼睛健康)”可知，这种野生鱼油可以帮助维持眼睛健康，防止视力下降。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据Adult Dosage (剂量)表格中“Joint support: Five capsules, twice daily.(关节支持：五粒胶囊，每日两次)”可知，为了关节健康，每天需要服用的胶囊数量是5颗，两次，即总共10颗。故选D。
（3）推理判断题。根据文章的标题“WILD FISH OIL 400 SOFT CAPSULES(野生鱼油, 400粒软胶囊)”以及第一段“This wild fish oil is a top quality, sustainably sourced formula containing the omega-3 fatty acid EPA and DHA to support overall wellbeing.(这种野生鱼油是一种优质、可持续来源的配方奶粉，含有omega-3脂肪酸EPA和DHA，有助于整体健康)”以及文章的内容可知，文章详细介绍了野生鱼油软胶囊的成分、功效及针对不同健康需求的推荐剂量，并强调了其对多个方面的健康益处及服用指导。由此可知，这是一篇关于健康产品的说明，旨在为消费者提供产品的使用指导和信息。故选C。
4. A 5. D 6. B 7. B
【解析】
（4）细节理解题。根据第一段的“My mom was admitted to the ICU. I got the news 10 minutes before I was scheduled to be interviewed for a higher position. It was unprofessionally last minute to cancel. (我妈妈住进了重症监护室。我在预定接受更高职位面试的10分钟前得到了这个消息。取消是不专业的最后一分钟)”可知，作者在面试前十分钟得知母亲住进ICU的消息，虽然取消面试很不专业，但作者还是选择了取消。所以作者错过了一次重要的面试。故选A。
（5）细节理解题。根据第三段的“I found I just couldn’t turn off my research brain, studying her care and texting colleagues with ideas, which reassured me that even though I was currently only giving my career about 50% of attention, I was more engaged than ever with my scientific questions.(我发现我无法关闭我的研究大脑，研究她的护理，并给同事发短信提出想法，这让我放心，尽管我目前只关注我的职业生涯约50%，但我比以往任何时候都更专注于我的科学问题)”可知，作者在研究她母亲的护理时，会给同事们发短信提出自己的想法，这说明作者现在是通过提供第一手资源来贡献自己的工作的。故选D。
（6）推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur (模糊). I received empathy, understanding and kindness from my program officer and colleagues. I learned how being weak brought out the best in people..(我还了解到，让我的工作和生活之间的界限变得模糊可能会带来一些好处。我从项目官员和同事那里得到了同情、理解和善意。我学会了软弱是如何让人发挥出最好的一面的)”可知，作者意识到脆弱也能激发出人们最好的一面，并开始珍惜友谊、人际关系以及有时意想不到的支持。由此可推知，作者可能会同意“黑暗中总有一丝光明（即每个困难都有好的一面）”的观点。故选B。
（7）主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“I also learned that some good could come from allowing the boundaries between my work and life to blur (模糊). I received empathy, understanding and kindness from my program officer and colleagues. (我还了解到，让我的工作和生活之间的界限变得模糊可能会带来一些好处。我从项目官员和同事那里得到了同情、理解和善意)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者因母亲生病需要在工作和家庭之间做出选择，最终学会了拥抱这种模糊状态，并从中收获了很多。所以“工作和生活，我如何平衡”适合作本文的标题。故选B。
8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】（8）推理判断题。根据第一段的“Sixty Nigeria goats are taking turns crashing their horns (角) against wooden fences. Then, during the chaos, something remarkable happens. One of the animals raises her head and stares thoughtfully at me, her widely spaced eyes and odd pupils seeking to make contact—and perhaps even connection.(60只尼日利亚山羊轮流用角撞击木栅栏。然后，在混乱中，一些不同寻常的事情发生了。其中一只动物抬起头，若有所思地盯着我，她的眼睛间隔很大，奇怪的瞳孔试图建立联系，甚至可能建立联系)”以及第三段的“That’s a cool idea here at Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN), one of the world’s leading centers for exploring the minds of goats, pigs and other livestock.(这是农场动物生物学研究所的一个很酷的想法，该研究所是世界上探索山羊、猪和其他牲畜思想的领先中心之一)”可推知，作者描述了自己在农场上的经历，并特别提到了山羊的行为，这实际上是为了引入接下来关于家畜（尤其是山羊）认知和情感生活的研究。故选D。
