新审视当下的生活。
任务三 阅读理解B(10分)
① The biggest weakness of human nature is that we don’t know how to treasure what we have. This is exactly the reason why we always think that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Instead of paying attention to modern-day problems, we should be grateful for what we have and who we are.
② Last week, my washing machine stopped working and wouldn’t wash my clothes. I tried to fix it by searching online, but the repairs were too expensive. This week, my daughter’s older washing machine also broke down. I tried to fix it myself, but it was beyond repair. Unluckily, I had to buy two new machines.
③ But then, a memory from my childhood came back. I remembered watching my grandma use an old-fashioned washing machine to wash my dirty clothes. This machine didn’t have a spin cycle, so Grandma would squeeze out every drop of water from each piece of clothing through a pair of rollers. Once, I even caught my fingers in them, which was very painful. After washing the clothes, Grandma would pat the machine lovingly before hanging them outside on the clothesline to dry. She grew up hand-washing clothes, so having a machine that did most of the work was a blessing to her.
④ Thinking back on this memory made me realize something important. I have more luxuries(奢侈品)than my grandma, mom, and dad had when they were younger. It’s easy to get caught up in our own world, but remembering where we came from and how far we’ve come can help us appreciate what we have today. And who knows? Maybe someday we’ll look back on these moments as the good old days too. We should take a moment to appreciate the little things in life, whether it’s a warm cup of tea or the sound of birds chirping in the morning. The simple things make life worth living.

A new study looks at forgetting. A team of researchers from the U.S. studied the brain’s process of forgetting things. The researchers are cognitive neuroscientists(认知神经科学家). 22. B
On one hand, cognitive neuroscientists’ work may help people who have memory problems. 23. D
The lead scientist Marie Banich said, “It may sound surprising that people can control what and how they forget.” 24. A
She also said it could keep the brain working smoothly. Her research found ways that people remove information from their brain. She said, “25. C
” Removing information is important because it means we can focus on more important tasks. However, although we can control what and how we forget, the act of forgetting needs a lot of effort. Another researcher, Sara Festini, agreed. She said, “We’ve found that intentionally forgetting no-longer-relevant information from the mind is beneficial, but it doesn’t happen automatically.”A. Banich said, “Forgetting is important.”

答案
任务三 答案速查 16.C 17.A 18.B 19.B 20.B
【主旨大意】本文讲述了作者通过一次洗衣机故障的经历,回忆起了童年时祖母使用老式洗衣机的场景,深刻体会到我们应该珍惜当下,感恩所拥有的生活。
16 C 【点拨】细节理解题。根据“I tried to fix it by searching online, but the repairs were too expensive.”可知,作者未能修理洗衣机的原因是修理费用太贵。
17 A 【点拨】词义猜测题。根据“Grandma would squeeze out every drop of water from each piece of clothing through a pair of rollers”可知,“squeeze”在这里的意思是“挤压”。
18 B 【点拨】推理判断题。根据“She grew up hand-washing clothes, so having a machine that did most of the work was a blessing to her.”可知,奶奶拍打洗衣机是因为她对拥有这台机器心存感激。
19 B 【点拨】篇章结构题。第一段首先提出人类不珍惜所拥有的东西的问题,第二、三段接着通过作者修理洗衣机的经历引出童年回忆,第四段总结出要珍惜当下的道理。因此,文章的结构应为“总—分—总”。
20 B 【点拨】推理判断题。根据“Thinking back on this memory made me realize something important... The simple things make life worth living.”可知,作者从童年回忆中学到的道理是要珍惜当下。
任务四 【主旨大意】本文主要介绍了科学家对大脑遗忘机制的研究,探讨了主动遗忘的重要性及其对大脑功能的积极影响。

解析
【解析】
任务三 阅读理解B
16. 细节理解题:根据原文第②段“I tried to fix it by searching online, but the repairs were too expensive.”,可知作者没能修好自己的洗衣机是因为维修成本过高,对应选项C。
17. 词义猜测题:根据划线词所在句“Grandma would squeeze out every drop of water from each piece of clothing through a pair of rollers”,结合滚轮挤水的生活场景,可推知squeeze意为“挤压、按压”,和选项A的Press含义一致。
18. 推理判断题:根据原文第③段“She grew up hand-washing clothes, so having a machine that did most of the work was a blessing to her.”,可知奶奶从小手洗衣服,把能分担大部分洗衣工作的老式洗衣机视作恩赐,因此她拍打洗衣机的动作体现了对拥有这台机器的感激,对应选项B。
19. 篇章结构题:文章第①段开篇提出核心观点——人性的弱点是不懂珍惜当下所有,我们应当感恩所拥有的事物,属于总起段;第②段讲述作者自家洗衣机接连故障的经历,第③段引出童年时奶奶使用老式洗衣机的回忆,两段属于分述的叙事部分;第④段总结升华,点明要珍惜当下生活的主旨,整体为“总—分—总”的结构,对应选项B。
20. 推理判断题:根据原文第④段“Thinking back on this memory made me realize something important... We should take a moment to appreciate the little things in life”,可知作者从童年回忆中得到的启示是要珍惜自己当下所拥有的一切,对应选项B。
任务四 阅读还原
21. 前文提到科学家对大脑存储、记忆信息的机制已有较多研究,后文引出一项针对“遗忘”的新研究,E选项“关于大脑遗忘的方式和原因的研究还很少”可自然衔接上下文,逻辑通顺。
22. 前文介绍研究遗忘机制的人员是认知神经科学家,B选项“认知神经科学家研究大脑以及大脑的思考和运作方式”是对这类研究人员工作内容的解释,衔接合理。
23. 前文出现“On one hand”说明研究的一方面价值,D选项“另一方面,这项研究也可以帮助抑郁症和痴呆症患者”和前文构成“on one hand...on the other hand...”的固定搭配,逻辑连贯。
24. 后文提到“这项研究可以让大脑顺畅运作”,呼应A选项中Banich提出的“遗忘是很重要的”这一观点,衔接自然。
25. 后文提到“清除信息十分重要,能让我们专注于更重要的任务”,呼应C选项“我们可以自主控制从思绪中清除信息的能力”,契合语境。
