【解析】
【原文】NANJING-China’s first solar satellite, ASO-S, is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2022, marking the country’s first-ever mission to observe the sun.
The satellite will operate in an orbit above Earth to maintain a view of the sun 24 hours a day. It is expected to be in orbit for at least 4 years, according to Gan Weiqun, a researcher from the project. The sun is the only fixed star that can be studied in detail by humans. The vast majority of its radiation is blocked by Earth’s atmosphere. Only by sending satellites into space can a complete picture of the sun be presented for further studies.
The satellite will also realize its potential in space weather forecasting. Sun activities can be detected at least 40 hours ahead of their arrival by the satellite. This can help with early warnings of damage to Earth’s environment.
Since the 1960s, more than 70 satellites related to solar observation have been launched globally. The ASO-S is expected to fill China’s gap in the field, according to Gan.

B
Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in cans for five cents each.
When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet.
Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it — a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year.
Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in 1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city-owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors.
“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations”, says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn.
Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle it doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says.
Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings.
34. What is the author’s purpose of telling about Marin?
A. To highlight waste collectors’ role.
B. To reflect laid-off workers’ hardship.
C. To praise her devotion to her daughter.
D. To show the seriousness of unemployment.
35. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers’ work?
A. By contrasting. B. By citing reference.
C. By giving definitions. D. By cause-effect analysis.
36. What would Marin agree with?
A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble.
C. The early bird catches worms. D. One good turn deserves another.
37. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Legal Battles Over Public Garbage Ownership
B. The History of Recycling Laws in the United States
C. The Rise of Corporate Recycling Programs in New York
D. The Struggles and Contributions of New York’s Recyclers
【答案】34. A 35. A 36. B 37. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过马林的故事讲述了拾荒者对于垃圾回收利用所起到的作用,以及他们面临的难题。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一、二段马林的故事和第三段“Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it – a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year. (马林的故事并非个例。世界各地有数百万人通过捡垃圾和转售来谋生——这是保持垃圾可管理的重要角色。在纽约市,管理部门只收集了28%可以回收的易拉罐。垃圾收集者每年从垃圾填埋场中取出数百万件可回收物品。)”可以推论出,作者讲述马林的故事目的是突出拾荒者的作用。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year. (在纽约市,管理部门只收集了28%可以回收的易拉罐。垃圾收集者每年从垃圾填埋场中取出数百万件可回收物品。)”可知,作者是通过对比来说明垃圾收集者的重要性。故选A项。
【36题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle it doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says. (不管承认与否,拾荒者长期以来一直受到不尊重。马林回忆说,有一次,她正在收集易拉罐,隔壁的人向她泼水。她说:“因为我回收利用,并不意味着我比其他人更不像一个人。”)”可知,马林认为工作没有高低贵贱之分。故选B项。
【37题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一、二段马林的故事和第三段“Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it – a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled.

C
There has been tremendous concern recently over misinformation on social media. This concern is quite justifiable, as the consequences of believing false information are greatly affecting the individual and collective health.
Many people tend to fall for misinformation they encounter online. There is one influential explanation for this phenomenon. As the thinking goes someone, who possesses very limited skills in finding and consuming digital content, creating digital content, and communicating it, is likely to have difficulty recognizing false information and thus is more vulnerable to believing false information. As a result, these less digitally literate people may play a significant part in the spread of misinformation.
This argument sounds perfectly plausible. Yet very little research has actually investigated the link between digital literacy and the vulnerability to believing false information. There’s even less understanding of the potential link between digital literacy and what people share on social media. A group of MIT researchers explored these potential associations by surveying 1,341 Americans.
In the experiment, the researchers first showed the participants two dozen news headlines about politics, half of which were accurate, and half of which were false. In the second phase, they included a series of tests: having the participants report their familiarity with various Internet-related terms and answer questions about how social media platforms decide what to show in their newsfeeds. At last, the participants were required to assess the accuracy of a set of headlines and point out their likelihood of sharing each headline on social media.
The researchers found “clear evidence” that digital literacy was a strong predictor of accuracy discernment (识别能力). However, the results were “strikingly different” regarding sharing discernment. Digitally literate subjects were just as likely to share inaccurate information. Most surprisingly, even people with high digital literacy were not immune from clicking “share” for false news.
This sounds odd. Although most people don’t want to spread misinformation, social media is distracting: people are scrolling quickly, and their attention is drawn to social validation (社会认知度), such as how many likes their posts will get. So make sure a certain post is accurate before you click the “share” button.
38. What does the popular theory about people’s believing online misinformation highlight?
A. The ability to engage in the digital spaces.
B. The popularity of consuming digital content.
C. The low cost of spreading misinformation online.
D. The significance of limiting fake information online.
39. What does the word “plausible” underlined in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Distinctive. B. Sensible. C. Distant. D. Meaningful.
40. What did the researchers aim to do in the second phase of the study?
A. Test respondents’ attitudes towards political news.
B. Figure out respondents’ favorite online content.
C. Assess respondents’ willingness to share posts.
D. Determine respondents’ levels of digital literacy.
41. What can the researchers conclude about digital literacy from the experiment?
A. It can be enhanced through practice.
B. It varies due to people’s political beliefs.
C. It doesn’t stop the spread of misinformation.
D. It isn’t helpful in identifying misinformation.
【答案】38. A 39. B 40. D 41. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家通过实验揭示出人们识别不出网上虚假信息的原因是因为他们的注意力被社会认可所吸引造成的,而不是与数字素养有关。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“As the thinking goes, someone, who possesses very limited skills in finding and consuming digital content, creating digital content, and communicating it, is likely to have difficulty recognizing false information and thus is more vulnerable to believing false information. As a result, these less digitally literate people may play a significant part in the spread of misinformation.(按照这种思路,一个人在发现和消费数字内容、创造数字内容和传播数字内容方面的技能非常有限,他很可能难以识别虚假信息,因此更容易相信虚假信息。因此,这些不太懂数字的人可能会在错误信息的传播中发挥重要作用。)”可知,关于人们相信网络错误信息的流行理论强调了参与数字空间的能力。故选A项。
【39题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段划线单词后“Yet very little research has actually investigated the link between digital literacy and the vulnerability to believing false information.(然而,很少有研究真正调查了数字素养与容易相信虚假信息之间的联系。)”可知,前后句之间为转折关系,说明这个论点只是表面上听起来很有道理,实际上却很少有研究真正调查了数字素养与容易相信虚假信息之间的联系,推断出plausible意为“有道理”,和sensible意思一致。故选B项。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In the second phase, they included a series of tests: having the participants report their familiarity with various Internet-related terms and answer questions about how social media platforms decide what to show in their newsfeeds. At last, the participants were required to assess the accuracy of a set of headlines and point out their likelihood of sharing each headline on social media.(在第二阶段,他们进行了一系列测试:让参与者报告他们对各种互联网相关术语的熟悉程度,并回答有关社交媒体平台如何决定在其新闻推送中显示哪些内容的问题。最后,参与者被要求评估一组标题的准确性,并指出他们在社交媒体上分享这些标题的可能性。)”可知,研究人员在研究的第二阶段做测试的目的是确定受访者的数字素养水平。故选D项。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Most surprisingly, even people with high digital literacy were not immune from clicking “share” for false news.(最令人惊讶的是,即使是数字素养高的人也无法避免点击“分享”来获取虚假新闻。)”可知,从实验中,研究人员可以得出关于数字素养的结论是这并不能阻止错误信息的传播。故选C项。
D
We credit Socrates with the insight that “the unexamined life is not worth living,” and that to “know thyself” is the path to true wisdom.
But when it comes to introspection (内省), you might easily slip into the “rumination” (沉思) mode. This pattern is likely to cause you to become stuck in the rut of your own thoughts and absorbed in the emotions that might lead you to a wrong way. Research has also shown that people who are likely to ruminate are often at a substantially increased risk of depression.
Instead, scientific research suggests that you should adopt an ancient method favored by the likes of Julius Caesar, known as “illeism” which was coined in 1809 from the Latin “ille” meaning “he”. The point of adopting this third person thinking is that such a small change can clear your emotional fog, allowing you to see your biases and helping you know the limits of your understanding of the problem at hand.
A study finds that illeism can also bring long-term benefits to wise reasoning (including elements like taking the perspective of others, recognizing uncertainty, and so on). The finding is the brainchild of Igor Grossmann, a psychologist. According to Grossmann, wise reasoning had long been considered too vague for scientific enquiry. In one of his earlier experiments, he established that as with IQ, the scores of wise reasoning could be achieved and were meaningful.
Grossmann’s latest research team asked nearly 300 participants to describe a challenging social situation, and two psychologists graded them on different aspects of wise reasoning. The participants then had to keep a diary for four weeks. Each day, they had to describe a situation they’d just experienced, such as a disagreement with someone. Half were prompted to do so in the first person, while the others were encouraged to describe their situations from a third person perspective. At the end of the study, all participants repeated the wise reasoning test.
While the control group showed no overall change in their wise reasoning scores, those using illeism improved on their perspective taking and capacity to find a compromise.
Grossmann’s work continues to prove that the subject of wisdom is worthy of experimental studies, indicating wiser reasoning is within everyone’s power.
42. What can be learned about ruminative thinking?
A. It’s often adopted by negative people. B. It causes people to become self-centered.
C. It’s far from an advisable tackling strategy. D. It ignores people’s inner thoughts and feelings.
43. Which of the following shows the advantage of illeism?
A. Helping people win in an argument. B. Enabling people to stabilize their emotions.
C. Encouraging people to see their own strengths. D. Offering people a fresh perspective of viewing issues.
44. What do Grossman’s statements in paragraph 4 imply?
A. Various factors can develop wise reasoning. B. People’s wise reasoning can be measurable.
C. The study of wisdom is rather complicated. D. Wise reasoning’s benefits are scientifically proven.
45. How do the researchers come to the conclusion of their study?
A. By assessing diary keeping’s impact on reasoning.
B. By comparing each participant’s two sets of scores.
C. By testing participants’ ability to handle disagreements.
D. By gaining participants’ attitudes to the first person thinking.
【答案】42 C 43. D 44. B 45. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“沉思”思维模式的特点以及研究过程。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But when it comes to introspection (内省), you might easily slip into the “rumination” (沉思) mode. This pattern is likely to cause you to become stuck in the rut of your own thoughts and absorbed in the emotions that might lead you to a wrong way. Research has also shown that people who are likely to ruminate are often at a substantially increased risk of depression.(但当涉及到内省时,你可能很容易陷入“沉思”模式。这种模式很可能会让你陷入自己思想的窠梏中,沉浸在可能把你引向错误道路的情绪中。研究还表明,容易沉思的人患抑郁症的风险通常会大大增加)”可知,沉思思维远不是一个明智的应对策略。故选C。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The point of adopting this third person thinking is that such a small change can clear your emotional fog, allowing you to see your biases and helping you know the limits of your understanding of the problem at hand.(采用这种第三人称思维的关键是,这样一个小小的改变可以清除你的情绪迷雾,让你看到自己的偏见,帮助你了解自己对手头问题的理解的局限性)”可知,好处是为人们提供看待问题的新视角。故选D。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In one of his earlier experiments, he established that as with IQ, the scores of wise reasoning could be achieved and were meaningful.(在他早期的一项实验中,他证实了与智商一样,智慧推理的得分是可以达到的,而且是有意义的)”可知,人们明智的推理是可以衡量的。故选B。
【45题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Grossmann’s latest research team asked nearly 300 participants to describe a challenging social situation, and two psychologists graded them on different aspects of wise reasoning. The participants then had to keep a diary for four weeks. Each day, they had to describe a situation they’d just experienced, such as a disagreement with someone. Half were prompted to do so in the first person, while the others were encouraged to describe their situations from a third person perspective. At the end of the study, all participants repeated the wise reasoning test.(格罗斯曼的最新研究小组要求近300名参与者描述一个具有挑战性的社会情境,两位心理学家根据明智推理的不同方面对他们进行评分。然后,参与者必须在四周内记日记。每天,他们都要描述一个他们刚刚经历过的情况,比如与某人意见不合。一半的人被要求用第一人称描述,而另一半则被鼓励用第三人称描述他们的情况。在研究结束时,所有参与者都重复了明智推理测试)”以及倒数第二段“While the control group showed no overall change in their wise reasoning scores, those using illeism improved on their perspective taking and capacity to find a compromise.(虽然控制组的明智推理得分没有整体变化,但那些使用非法行为的人在观点和找到妥协的能力方面有所提高)”可知,研究人员通过比较每个参与者的两组分数得出他们的研究结论。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Recently, I carried out an investigation to discover what it was that prevented people from journalling. ____46____ So, today, I want to introduce a very simple tool—The MicroMOVEment Wheel. It will help you pick up your journal even at times when you really don’t feel like it.
____47____ She describes creating this method so she could use it as a creative planning tool for her writing projects and goals. While it was originally aimed at writers, you can use this technique to help you complete any project in a fun and creative way.
____48____ Here’s how it works. Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising. ____49____ These are what SARK refers to as the MicroMOVEments. Each MicroMOVEment is five minutes in length. So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day.
Let’s say you’ re new to journalling. By setting aside five minutes out of your day, you could write one word in your notebook that sums up a feeling or an experience. ____50____ The idea of the MicroMOVEment is to create easy steps to get your journal writing or writing projects moving. When you keep the steps small, it will become doable and achievable.
A. Next, divide the rest of the circle into eight equal parts.
B. It is the brainchild of international bestselling writer SARK.
C. There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to journalling.
D. Where to start and not having enough time were amongst the top responses.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种名为The MicroMOVEment Wheel的方法可以让人坚持写日记。
【46题详解】
根据上文“Recently, I carried out an investigation to discover what it was that prevented people from journalling.(最近,我进行了一项调查,以发现是什么阻碍了人们写日记)”可知,本句应承接上文,说明调查阻碍人们写日记问题的回答。故D选项“从哪里开始和没有足够的时间是最主要的回答”符合语境,故选D。
【47题详解】
根据上一段“So, today, I want to introduce a very simple tool—The MicroMOVEment Wheel. It will help you pick up your journal even at times when you really don’t feel like it.(所以,今天,我想介绍一个非常简单的工具——微动轮。它会帮助你拿起你的日记,即使有时你真的不喜欢它)”后文“She describes creating this method so she could use it as a creative planning tool for her writing projects and goals. While it was originally aimed at writers, you can use this technique to help you complete any project in a fun and creative way.(她描述了创造这种方法,以便她可以将其作为写作项目和目标的创造性规划工具。虽然它最初是针对作家的,但您可以使用此技术以有趣和创造性的方式帮助您完成任何项目)”可知,本句主要是在说明上文提到的MicroMOVEment是谁提出的,B选项SARK对应后文She。故B选项“它是国际畅销书作家SARK的创意”符合语境,故选B。
【48题详解】
根据后文“Here’s how it works. Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising.(下面是它的工作原理。拿一张白纸,画一个大圆圈,然后在中间再画一个小圆圈。在中间的圆圈里,写下你想要实现的目标。记住,写日记不需要让你觉得每天都是一件苦差事。所以,为你的日记想出一个鼓舞人心、充满活力的描述)”以及后文“So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day. (所以,在写日记的情况下,这意味着在任何一天,一次至少要写5分钟的日记)”可知,本段主要介绍了工作原理,且后文提到了写日记的小步骤,可推测是把写日记的动作进行分解,故G选项“这种方法的妙处是把你的行动分解成最微小的步骤”符合语境,故选G。
【49题详解】
根据上文“Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising.(拿一张白纸,画一个大圆圈,然后在中间再画一个小圆圈。在中间的圆圈里,写下你想要实现的目标。记住,写日记不需要让你觉得每天都是一件苦差事。所以,为你的日记想出一个鼓舞人心、充满活力的描述)”以及后文“These are what SARK refers to as the MicroMOVEments. Each MicroMOVEment is five minutes in length. So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day.(这就是SARK所说的微运动。每个MicroMOVEment的长度为5分钟。所以,在写日记的情况下,这意味着在任何一天,一次至少要写5分钟的日记)”可知,上文提到了画圆,在中间的圆圈里,写下你想要实现的目标,故本句应当是在说明接下来的步骤。故A选项“接下来,把剩下的圆分成8等份”符合语境,故选A。
【50题详解】
根据上文“Let’s say you’ re new to journalling. By setting aside five minutes out of your day, you could write one word in your notebook that sums up a feeling or an experience.(假设你刚开始写日记。每天抽出五分钟,你可以在笔记本上写下一个词来总结你的感受或经历)”以及后文“The idea of the MicroMOVEment is to create easy steps to get your journal writing or writing projects moving.(微运动的理念是创造简单的步骤,让你的日记写作或写作项目动起来)”可知,上文提到了第一步,故本句是在说明接下来该怎么做,故F选项“然后,列出与这个词相关的单词、图像或想法”符合语境,故选F。

North Rim to reopen on June 2 with limited services available
News Release Date: May 17, 2023
Contact: Joëlle Baird, 928-606-3154
Grand Canyon, Ariz
The North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park will open as scheduled, on June 2, with limited visitor services and water conservation measures due to a break in the North Rim water pipeline. A landslide from winter storms destroyed more than 300 feet of the North Rim water pipeline.

Josefa Marin went to New York from Mexico in 1987, supporting her daughter back home with the $140 a week she earned at a sweater factory. With that small income, she had to collect recyclables, trading in cans for five cents each.
When the clothing factory closed down in the late 2000s, she became a full-time recycler, picking up cans and bottles to make ends meet.
Marin’s story is not unique. Millions around the world make a living from picking through waste and reselling it — a vital role that keeps waste manageable. In New York City, the administrative department collects only about 28 percent of the cans that could be recycled. Rubbish collectors keep millions of additional recyclables out of landfills every year.
Yet collectors are ruled out by government policies. The United States Supreme Court in 1988 stated that household garbage is public property once it’s on the street. That enables police to search rubbish for evidence, but that protection hasn’t always been extended to recyclers. And in places like New York City, which is testing city-owned locked containers to hide garbage from rats, containers are made clearly inaccessible for collectors.
“There’s value in the waste, and we feel that value should belong to the people, not the city or the corporations”, says Ryan Castalia, director of a nonprofit recycling and community center in Brooklyn.
Recognized or not, waste pickers have long been treated with disrespect. Marin recalls an occasion when someone living next to a building where she was collecting cans threw water at her. “Because I recycle it doesn’t mean I am less of a person than anyone else,” she says.
Some governments are starting to realize that protecting the environment and humanity go hand in hand. The United Nation’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, for example, calls for an end to poverty and all the risks it brings.
34. What is the author’s purpose of telling about Marin?
A. To highlight waste collectors’ role.
B. To reflect laid-off workers’ hardship.
C. To praise her devotion to her daughter.
D. To show the seriousness of unemployment.
35. How does the author show the importance of waste pickers’ work?
A. By contrasting. B. By citing reference.
C. By giving definitions. D. By cause-effect analysis.
36. What would Marin agree with?
A. Business is business. B. No job is noble or humble.
C. The early bird catches worms. D. One good turn deserves another.
37. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. The Legal Battles Over Public Garbage Ownership
B. The History of Recycling Laws in the United States
C. The Rise of Corporate Recycling Programs in New York
D. The Struggles and Contributions of New York’s Recyclers
C
There has been tremendous concern recently over misinformation on social media. This concern is quite justifiable, as the consequences of believing false information are greatly affecting the individual and collective health.
Many people tend to fall for misinformation they encounter online. There is one influential explanation for this phenomenon. As the thinking goes, someone, who possesses very limited skills in finding and consuming digital content, creating digital content, and communicating it, is likely to have difficulty recognizing false information and thus is more vulnerable to believing false information. As a result, these less digitally literate people may play a significant part in the spread of misinformation.
This argument sounds perfectly plausible. Yet very little research has actually investigated the link between digital literacy and the vulnerability to believing false information. There’s even less understanding of the potential link between digital literacy and what people share on social media. A group of MIT researchers explored these potential associations by surveying 1,341 Americans.
In the experiment, the researchers first showed the participants two dozen news headlines about politics, half of which were accurate, and half of which were false. In the second phase, they included a series of tests: having the participants report their familiarity with various Internet-related terms and answer questions about how social media platforms decide what to show in their newsfeeds. At last, the participants were required to assess the accuracy of a set of headlines and point out their likelihood of sharing each headline on social media.
The researchers found “clear evidence” that digital literacy was a strong predictor of accuracy discernment (识别能力). However, the results were “strikingly different” regarding sharing discernment. Digitally literate subjects were just as likely to share inaccurate information. Most surprisingly, even people with high digital literacy were not immune from clicking “share” for false news.
This sounds odd. Although most people don’t want to spread misinformation social media is distracting: people are scrolling quickly, and their attention is drawn to social validation (社会认知度), such as how many likes their posts will get. So make sure a certain post is accurate before you click the “share” button.
38. What does the popular theory about people’s believing online misinformation highlight?
A. The ability to engage in the digital spaces.
B. The popularity of consuming digital content.
C The low cost of spreading misinformation online.
D. The significance of limiting fake information online.
39. What does the word “plausible” underlined in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Distinctive. B. Sensible. C. Distant. D. Meaningful.
40. What did the researchers aim to do in the second phase of the study?
A. Test respondents’ attitudes towards political news.
B. Figure out respondents’ favorite online content.
C. Assess respondents’ willingness to share posts.
D. Determine respondents’ levels of digital literacy.
41. What can the researchers conclude about digital literacy from the experiment?
A. It can be enhanced through practice.
B. It varies due to people’s political beliefs.
C. It doesn’t stop the spread of misinformation.
D. It isn’t helpful in identifying misinformation.
D
We credit Socrates with the insight that “the unexamined life is not worth living,” and that to “know thyself” is the path to true wisdom.
But when it comes to introspection (内省), you might easily slip into the “rumination” (沉思) mode. This pattern is likely to cause you to become stuck in the rut of your own thoughts and absorbed in the emotions that might lead you to a wrong way. Research has also shown that people who are likely to ruminate are often at a substantially increased risk of depression.
Instead, scientific research suggests that you should adopt an ancient method favored by the likes of Julius Caesar, known as “illeism” which was coined in 1809 from the Latin “ille” meaning “he”. The point of adopting this third person thinking is that such a small change can clear your emotional fog, allowing you to see your biases and helping you know the limits of your understanding of the problem at hand.
A study finds that illeism can also bring long-term benefits to wise reasoning (including elements like taking the perspective of others, recognizing uncertainty, and so on). The finding is the brainchild of Igor Grossmann, a psychologist. According to Grossmann, wise reasoning had long been considered too vague for scientific enquiry. In one of his earlier experiments, he established that as with IQ, the scores of wise reasoning could be achieved and were meaningful.
Grossmann’s latest research team asked nearly 300 participants to describe a challenging social situation, and two psychologists graded them on different aspects of wise reasoning. The participants then had to keep a diary for four weeks. Each day, they had to describe a situation they’d just experienced, such as a disagreement with someone. Half were prompted to do so in the first person, while the others were encouraged to describe their situations from a third person perspective. At the end of the study, all participants repeated the wise reasoning test.
While the control group showed no overall change in their wise reasoning scores, those using illeism improved on their perspective taking and capacity to find a compromise.
Grossmann’s work continues to prove that the subject of wisdom is worthy of experimental studies, indicating wiser reasoning is within everyone’s power.
42. What can be learned about ruminative thinking?
A. It’s often adopted by negative people. B. It causes people to become self-centered.
C. It’s far from an advisable tackling strategy. D. It ignores people’s inner thoughts and feelings.
43. Which of the following shows the advantage of illeism?
A. Helping people win in an argument. B. Enabling people to stabilize their emotions.
C. Encouraging people to see their own strengths. D. Offering people a fresh perspective of viewing issues.
44. What do Grossman’s statements in paragraph 4 imply?
A. Various factors can develop wise reasoning. B. People’s wise reasoning can be measurable.
C. The study of wisdom is rather complicated. D. Wise reasoning’s benefits are scientifically proven.
45. How do the researchers come to the conclusion of their study?
A. By assessing diary keeping’s impact on reasoning.
B. By comparing each participant’s two sets of scores.
C. By testing participants’ ability to handle disagreements.
D. By gaining participants’ attitudes to the first person thinking.

____48____ Here’s how it works. Take a blank sheet of paper and: draw a large circle, and then another smaller circle in the middle. In the centre circle, write down what you are inspired to achieve. Remember, journalling does not need to feel like a chore in your day. So come up with descriptions for your journalling that are inspiring and energising. ____49____ These are what SARK refers to as the MicroMOVEments. Each MicroMOVEment is five minutes in length. So, in the case of journalling, that would represent a minimum of up to five minutes of journalling in one sitting, on any given day.
Let’s say you’ re new to journalling. By setting aside five minutes out of your day, you could write one word in your notebook that sums up a feeling or an experience. ____50____ The idea of the MicroMOVEment is to create easy steps to get your journal writing or writing projects moving. When you keep the steps small, it will become doable and achievable.
A. Next, divide the rest of the circle into eight equal parts.
B. It is the brainchild of international bestselling writer SARK.
C. There are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to journalling.
D. Where to start and not having enough time were amongst the top responses.
E. Daily tasks such as sweeping and washing are time-consuming and laborious.
F. Then, list any associated words, images or thoughts that are generated by the word.
G. The medicine with this approach is breaking your actions down into the tiniest steps.
