The spring dance is in two weeks, and my friend Lisa needs help choosing a dress. She shows me her phone, filled with lots of pretty dresses, not one over $20. After some thought, she settles on an attractive gown with elaborated details on the top. But two weeks after the dance, the dress ends up in the trash, worn just once.
Welcome to the world of fast fashion
Fast fashion, popularized in the 1990s, offers trendy, cheaply-priced, poorly-made clothes on a weekly basis to match the quick pace at which fashion trends move. With the fast development of modern technology, consumers have gradually shifted from traditional fast fashion brands to new online-only retailers (零售商). These fast fashion newcomers have thrived because of their unique business models. They exist entirely online, allowing them to ship the thousands of new styles they release daily to consumers directly from their warehouses, avoiding import duties in the process. Meanwhile, cheap overseas labor and synthetic (合成的) textiles keep prices irresistibly low.
These practices, however, are hurting the Earth more than ever before, because these retailers rely only on international shipping to move their products, which increases the annual billion tons of greenhouse gases released by shipping. Virtually all of these brands sell clothes made from oil-based synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. During their lifetime, these fibers are responsible for 35 percent of the micro-plastics polluting our oceans and can subsequently take centuries to break down in landfills.
Though fast fashion represents an understandably desirable combination of style and savings, now, more than ever, we simply can not quantify the true cost of our clothing with a price tag. When consumers want to update their wardrobes, they can do so sustainably by reworking old garments clothing or researching environmentally conscious brands.
For now, I’ll be at my next school dance rocking the same dress I wore last year.
24. Why is Lisa’s e-purchase experience mentioned?
A. To note the poor quality of pretty dresses.
B. To stress the negative impact of fast fashion.
C. To show the great convenience of online shopping.
D. To display the extensive variety of clothing choices.
25. What is the distinctive characteristic of fast fashion?
A. Even-paced launches of new trends. B. Cost-saving measures via local labor.
C. Full-scale reliance on online operation. D. Limited-edition production at high prices.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The lifespans of fast fashion business. B. The fibers used in fast fashion industry.
C. The pollution from fast fashion shipments. D. The harm caused by fast fashion practices.
27. What does the author suggest for consumers?
A. Explore updated items regularly. B. Redesign existing clothes sustainably.
C. Refresh wardrobes with current styles. D. Investigate brands through price labels.
C
After spending 62 years above the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge’s heritage lives on below the water’s surface. The bridge was fully torn down, after which its huge chunks of metal and concrete were cleaned and then dropped into the Atlantic Ocean to start a new life as an artificial reef.
Coral reefs are varied marine ecosystems, often dubbed as the rainforests of the sea. When coral reefs are stressed by changes in conditions, such as temperature, light or nutrients, they expel the algae that live in their tissues, without which corals’ tissues become transparent, showing their white structures, a phenomenon known as bleaching. This largely attributes to the sharp decline of coral reefs. It is reported that we’ve lost 14 percent of the world’s coral reefs in the last decade, an equivalent of losing the whole Great Barrier Reef in 10 years.
It is clear that natural coral reefs are now in trouble. That’s why people are finding ways to build them from artificial materials. Artificial reefs aren’t made of coral. They are created by placing large objects on the ocean floor. Sometimes these objects are built to be used as reefs. They are often made of steel and concrete. A structure can also be recycled as a reef. That’s what happened with the Tappan Zee Bridge. Of all the artificial marine reefs in the world, those made of submerged shipwrecks are the most common. In 2005, Jim Walsh helped turn a ship called the Carthaginian II into a reef, The Carthaginian II landed on the ocean floor more than a decade ago, Back then, it was just a chunk of metal on a bare patch of sand. Now the ship is a home to at least 75 marine animal species. “It’s amazing to see how much life is on that ship,” Walsh says.
While artificial reefs bring benefits in many ways, they aren’t perfect for all situations, as they can damage natural habitats if not carefully constructed and potentially lead to a sharp increase in tourism activity that spills over into surrounding areas, including natural reefs.
28. Which is closest in meaning to “expel” in paragraph 2?
A. Capture. B. Absorb. C. Contain. D. Release.
29. What can we learn about the Carthaginian II?
A. It was initially discovered by Jim Walsh.
B. It is a new habitat repurposed for marine life.
C. It was specially created as a tourist attraction.
D. It is a sunken ship recycled into a natural reef.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward artificial reefs?
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Oceanic Wonders: From Structures to Treasures.
B. Tappan Zee Bridge: A New Life Beneath the Sea.
C. Artificial Reefs: Solutions to Biodiversity Decline.
D. Underwater Homes: Balancing Dynamic Ecosystems.
D
Are you clever and funny? Of course, just like me. But wouldn’t it be terrible if we were mistaken? Psychologists suggest that we are often blind to our own shortcomings. This might explain why some incompetent people seem annoying and also teach us modesty about our own abilities.
Justin Kruger and David Dunning from Cornell University tested whether those lacking skills also failed to recognize their limitations. They recruited professional comedians to rate the funniness of 30 jokes and then asked65 undergraduates to do the same. The students’ ratings were compared to the professionals’, revealing how well each undergraduate’s sense of humor matched with expert judgment. Participants also estimated how they performed compared to that of the average person.
As anticipated, most students believed their humor judgement was above average. Interestingly, those slightly above average in rating jokes were accurate in their self-assessments, while the best performers modestly rated themselves only slightly above average. Conversely, the poorest performers not only misjudged humor but also overestimated their abilities. The researchers also repeated their experiments with tests of logical reasoning and grammar. In each case, those who performed worst were also the worst at estimating their own capabilities, Even when given feedback on others’ performance, the least competent still couldn’t recognize their own shortcomings,
Kruger and Dunning’s interpretation is that accurately assessing skill level relies on some of the same core abilities as actually performing that skill so the least competent suffer a double inadequacy. Not only are they incompetent, but they lack the mental tools to judge their own incompetence. Further, when poor performers were trained in logical reasoning tasks, their self- assessments improved.
Other research confirms this “unskilled and unaware” effect in real-life scenarios, not just in labs. For instance, hunters with the least firearm knowledge misjudge their expertise the most, and doctors with poor patient-interview skills fail to recognize their inadequacies.
This phenomenon, known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, exemplifies metacognition - thinking about thinking. It’s a humbling reminder that we too might overlook our own ignorance, despite our self-beliefs. So, before feeling smug (沾沾自喜的), consider: you could have potential blind spots, too.
32. How did Kruger and Dunning conduct their study?
A. By assessing subjects’ funniness. B. By repeating identical joke cases.
C. By observing students’ responses. D. By comparing distinct humor ratings.
33. Which aspect of the experiments is mainly discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Estimation tools. B. Test processes.
C. Participant analyses. D. Research findings.
34. What can improve performers’ self-assessments according to the study?
A. Live performing skills. B. Immediate peer feedback.
C. Logical thinking exercises. D. Adequate judging guidance.
35. What does the Dunning-Kruger effect imply?
A. The richer knowledge we have the humbler we stay.
B. The less capable we are, the smarter we think we are.
C. The stronger self-beliefs we hold, the better we behave.
D. The more skilled we are, the fewer blind spots we have.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
An old study in the advertising literature found that we’re more likely to read advertisements for the products we have bought, even if they have proved to be “lemons”, or useless. This phenomenon also applies to our decision-making process. Humans sometimes make bad choices and stick with them despite negative consequences. ____36____ But in general bad choices have to do with acting out of emotion and not out of reason. Strong emotions can cloud our thinking and lead us down one rabbit hole after another.
Doubling down on a bad choice may also relate to our self-esteem and the ability to admit mistakes. Narcissists(自恋者) usually won’t admit a mistake because it contradicts their self-image. But the fact is that many of us aren’t narcissistic. ____37____ Even when trapped in a bad relationship, we may still stick with it, hoping things will eventually change for the better.
Resilience involves managing strong emotions and preventing them from fully dictating our decisions. Considering emotion is important, enthusiasm for something can move us forward, but it can also block our vision. ____38____ While relying solely on our “gut feeling” can be helpful, it works best when we use our head, integrating intuitive insights with logical thinking.
Doubling down is generally unwise. We need to acknowledge our errors and be willing to say we’re sorry and apologize. ____39____ In fact, it’s smarter than denying mistakes. By admitting them, we learn valuable lessons and promote personal growth. Recognizing when to cut our losses is crucial, allowing us to pursue new opportunities with confidence. ____40____
A. And we often struggle with this.
B. The reasons for that are complex.
C. Make our decisions with full passion.
D. There is nothing wrong with doing this.
E. So stop trying to make lemonade from bad lemons.
F. The more errors you make, the more you will learn.
G. We should consider what’s right, not just what feels right.

67. 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。
“Why can’t Grandpa just be normal? Why does he have to be so odd?” Carter asked his Grandma.
Grandma laughed. “I’ve considered that for many years.”
They sat on a Florida beach, watching Grandpa and his friends riding wave-skis in the ocean. The early morning sun warmed their faces as the sand gradually heated beneath them.
Carter scooped up a handful of sand and let it sift through his fingers. “Why do we have to come here so early?” he questioned, noting that the rest of his family was still asleep.
With a smile, Grandma explained that the morning waves were calmer with less wind. She mentioned how Grandpa loved the thrill of a big wave’s shadow looming over him before it hit.
Carter grumbled that none of his friends knew what a wave-ski was, and they thought it was odd when he tried to explain it. He wondered why Grandpa didn’t pick a more typical hobby, like restoring old cars, which he thought seemed cooler.
Grandma patted Carter’s shoulder and replied that wave-skiing was like surfing on a short kayak (皮艇), combining elements of kayaking and surfing. She added how they paddled out to catch bigger waves like surfers, steering with a paddle, and highlighted the thrill of the experience.
“Nobody’s grandpa does this. I love you both, but neither of you act s like typical grandparents,” Carter remarked.
Grandma laughed again, sharing that Grandpa’s friends were also grandparents and asked what else they should be doing.
Carter, unsure, simply muttered, “I don’t know. Grandparent stuff.”
“Each summer, your family visits. We enjoy the beach, swim, and cherish our time together. That’s what truly matters. Everyone has their own way of enjoying life, and for Grandpa, it’s wave-skiing.” Grandma paused, her eyes sparkling with warmth.
Carter sighed. “I guess. But it’s still odd.”
“Why don’t you give it a try? You might find it’s more fun than you think,”
Grandma encouraged. Carter hesitated but agreed. “Okay, I’ll give it a shot.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;

Paragraph 1: The next morning, Carter and Grandpa headed out early.

The spring dance is in two weeks, and my friend Lisa needs help choosing a dress. She shows me her phone, filled with lots of pretty dresses, not one over $20. After some thought, she settles on an attractive gown with elaborated details on the top. But two weeks after the dance, the dress ends up in the trash, worn just once.
Welcome to the world of fast fashion.
Fast fashion, popularized in the 1990s, offers trendy, cheaply-priced, poorly-made clothes on a weekly basis to match the quick pace at which fashion trends move. With the fast development of modern technology, consumers have gradually shifted from traditional fast fashion brands to new online-only retailers (零售商). These fast fashion newcomers have thrived because of their unique business models. They exist entirely online, allowing them to ship the thousands of new styles they release daily to consumers directly from their warehouses, avoiding import duties in the process. Meanwhile, cheap overseas labor and synthetic (合成的) textiles keep prices irresistibly low.
These practices, however, are hurting the Earth more than ever before, because these retailers rely only on international shipping to move their products, which increases the annual billion tons of greenhouse gases released by shipping. Virtually all of these brands sell clothes made from oil-based synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. During their lifetime, these fibers are responsible for 35 percent of the micro-plastics polluting our oceans and can subsequently take centuries to break down in landfills.
Though fast fashion represents an understandably desirable combination of style and savings, now, more than ever, we simply can not quantify the true cost of our clothing with a price tag. When consumers want to update their wardrobes, they can do so sustainably by reworking old garments clothing or researching environmentally conscious brands.
For now, I’ll be at my next school dance rocking the same dress I wore last year.
24. Why is Lisa’s e-purchase experience mentioned?
A. To note the poor quality of pretty dresses.
B. To stress the negative impact of fast fashion.
C. To show the great convenience of online shopping.
D. To display the extensive variety of clothing choices.
25. What is the distinctive characteristic of fast fashion?
A. Even-paced launches of new trends. B. Cost-saving measures via local labor.
C. Full-scale reliance on online operation. D. Limited-edition production at high prices.
26. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The lifespans of fast fashion business. B. The fibers used in fast fashion industry.
C. The pollution from fast fashion shipments. D. The harm caused by fast fashion practices.
27. What does the author suggest for consumers?
A. Explore updated items regularly. B. Redesign existing clothes sustainably.
C. Refresh wardrobes with current styles. D. Investigate brands through price labels.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是快时尚以及快时尚的危害等。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The spring dance is in two weeks, and my friend Lisa needs help choosing a dress. She shows me her phone, filled with lots of pretty dresses, not one over $20. After some thought, she settles on an attractive gown with elaborated details on the top. But two weeks after the dance, the dress ends up in the trash, worn just once.(两周后就是春季舞会了,我的朋友丽莎需要人帮她选裙子。她给我看了她的手机,里面有很多漂亮的裙子,没有一件超过20美元。经过一番思考,她选定了一件有吸引力的礼服,上面有精心设计的细节。但舞会结束两周后,这条裙子就被扔进了垃圾桶,只穿过一次)”以及第三段“Fast fashion, popularized in the 1990s, offers trendy, cheaply-priced, poorly-made clothes on a weekly basis to match the quick pace at which fashion trends move.(上世纪90年代流行的快时尚,每周都会推出时髦、廉价、做工低劣的服装,以配合时尚潮流的快速发展)”可知,提到Lisa的网购经历是为了强调快时尚的负面影响。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They exist entirely online, allowing them to ship the thousands of new styles they release daily to consumers directly from their warehouses, avoiding import duties in the process. Meanwhile, cheap overseas labor and synthetic (合成的) textiles keep prices irresistibly low.(它们完全存在于网上,允许它们每天从仓库直接向消费者运送数千种新款式,避免了这个过程中的进口关税。与此同时,廉价的海外劳动力和合成纺织品使价格保持在不可抗拒的低位)”可知,快时尚的特点是全面依靠网络运营。故选C。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“These practices, however, are hurting the Earth more than ever before, because these retailers rely only on international shipping to move their products, which increases the annual billion tons of greenhouse gases released by shipping. Virtually all of these brands sell clothes made from oil-based synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. During their lifetime, these fibers are responsible for 35 percent of the micro-plastics polluting our oceans and can subsequently take centuries to break down in landfills.(然而,这些做法比以往任何时候都对地球造成了更大的伤害,因为这些零售商只依赖国际航运来运输他们的产品,这增加了航运每年释放的数十亿吨温室气体。几乎所有这些品牌都出售由聚酯和尼龙等油基合成纤维制成的衣服。在它们的一生中,这些纤维造成了35%的微塑料污染我们的海洋,随后可能需要几个世纪才能在垃圾填埋场分解)”可知,第4段主要讲了快时尚造成的危害。故选D。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“When consumers want to update their wardrobes, they can do so sustainably by reworking old garments clothing or researching environmentally conscious brands.(当消费者想要更新他们的衣橱时,他们可以通过改造旧衣服或研究环保品牌来实现可持续发展)”可知,作者建议消费者可持续地重新设计现有服装。故选B。
C
After spending 62 years above the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge’s heritage lives on below the water’s surface. The bridge was fully torn down, after which its huge chunks of metal and concrete were cleaned and then dropped into the Atlantic Ocean to start a new life as an artificial reef.
Coral reefs are varied marine ecosystems, often dubbed as the rainforests of the sea. When coral reefs are stressed by changes in conditions, such as temperature, light or nutrients, they expel the algae that live in their tissues, without which corals’ tissues become transparent, showing their white structures, a phenomenon known as bleaching. This largely attributes to the sharp decline of coral reefs. It is reported that we’ve lost 14 percent of the world’s coral reefs in the last decade, an equivalent of losing the whole Great Barrier Reef in 10 years.
It is clear that natural coral reefs are now in trouble. That’s why people are finding ways to build them from artificial materials. Artificial reefs aren’t made of coral. They are created by placing large objects on the ocean floor. Sometimes, these objects are built to be used as reefs. They are often made of steel and concrete. A structure can also be recycled as a reef. That’s what happened with the Tappan Zee Bridge. Of all the artificial marine reefs in the world, those made of submerged shipwrecks are the most common. In 2005, Jim Walsh helped turn a ship called the Carthaginian II into a reef, The Carthaginian II landed on the ocean floor more than a decade ago, Back then, it was just a chunk of metal on a bare patch of sand. Now the ship is a home to at least 75 marine animal species. “It’s amazing to see how much life is on that ship,” Walsh says.
While artificial reefs bring benefits in many ways, they aren’t perfect for all situations, as they can damage natural habitats if not carefully constructed and potentially lead to a sharp increase in tourism activity that spills over into surrounding areas, including natural reefs.
28. Which is closest in meaning to “expel” in paragraph 2?
A. Capture. B. Absorb. C. Contain. D. Release.
29. What can we learn about the Carthaginian II?
A. It was initially discovered by Jim Walsh.
B. It is a new habitat repurposed for marine life.
C. It was specially created as a tourist attraction.
D. It is a sunken ship recycled into a natural reef.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward artificial reefs?
A. Cautious. B. Dismissive. C. Favorable. D. Doubtful.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Oceanic Wonders: From Structures to Treasures.
B. Tappan Zee Bridge: A New Life Beneath the Sea.
C. Artificial Reefs: Solutions to Biodiversity Decline.
D. Underwater Homes: Balancing Dynamic Ecosystems.
【答案】28 D 29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人们利用废弃的水下沉船来建造人工珊瑚礁。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When coral reefs are stressed by changes in conditions, such as temperature, light or nutrients(当珊瑚礁受到温度、光线或营养等条件变化的压力时)”以及后文“the algae that live in their tissuess, without which corals’ tissues become transparent, showing their white structures, a phenomenon known as bleaching (生活在其组织中的藻类,没有这些藻类,珊瑚的组织就会变得透明,显示出白色的结构,这种现象被称为白化)”可知,当珊瑚礁受到温度、光线或营养等条件变化的压力时,它们会释放生活在其组织中的藻类,导致珊瑚白化。故划线词意思是“释放”。故选D。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In 2005, Jim Walsh helped turn a ship called the Carthaginian II into a reef, The Carthaginian II landed on the ocean floor more than a decade ago, Back then, it was just a chunk of metal on a bare patch of sand.Now the ship is a home to at least 75 marine animal species. ( 2005年,吉姆·沃尔什帮助将一艘名为迦太基二世的船变成了一个珊瑚礁。十多年前,迦太基二世号沉入海底,当时,它只是一块光秃秃的沙滩上的一块金属。现在,这艘沉船是至少75种海洋动物的家园)”可知,迦太基二世是一个为海洋生物改造的新栖息地。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While artificial reefs bring benefits in many ways, they aren’t perfect for all situations, as they can damage natural habitats if not carefully constructed and potentially lead to a sharp increase in tourism activity that spills over into surrounding areas, including natural reefs.(虽然人工珊瑚礁在很多方面都有好处,但它们并非适用于所有情况,因为如果不精心建造,它们会破坏自然栖息地,并可能导致旅游活动急剧增加,并溢出到包括自然珊瑚礁在内的周边地区)”可知,作者对人工珊瑚礁的态度是谨慎的。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“After spending 62 years above the Hudson River, the Tappan Zee Bridge’s heritage lives on below the water’s surface. The bridge was fully torn down, after which its huge chunks of metal and concrete were cleaned and then dropped into the Atlantic Ocean to start a new life as an artificial reef.(在哈德逊河上度过了62年之后,塔潘泽大桥的遗产仍然存在于水面以下。大桥被完全拆除,之后,巨大的金属和混凝土块被清理干净,然后被扔进大西洋,作为人工礁石开始了新的生活)”结合文章主要说明了人们利用废弃的水下沉船来建造人工珊瑚珊瑚礁。可知,A选项“海洋奇观:从建筑到宝藏”最符合文章标题。故选A。
D
Are you clever and funny? Of course, just like me. But wouldn’t it be terrible if we were mistaken? Psychologists suggest that we are often blind to our own shortcomings. This might explain why some incompetent people seem annoying and also teach us modesty about our own abilities.
Justin Kruger and David Dunning from Cornell University tested whether those lacking skills also failed to recognize their limitations. They recruited professional comedians to rate the funniness of 30 jokes and then asked65 undergraduates to do the same. The students’ ratings were compared to the professionals’, revealing how well each undergraduate’s sense of humor matched with expert judgment. Participants also estimated how they performed compared to that of the average person.
As anticipated, most students believed their humor judgement was above average. Interestingly, those slightly above average in rating jokes were accurate in their self-assessments, while the best performers modestly rated themselves only slightly above average. Conversely, the poorest performers not only misjudged humor but also overestimated their abilities. The researchers also repeated their experiments with tests of logical reasoning and grammar. In each case, those who performed worst were also the worst at estimating their own capabilities, Even when given feedback on others’ performance, the least competent still couldn’t recognize their own shortcomings,
Kruger and Dunning’s interpretation is that accurately assessing skill level relies on some of the same core abilities as actually performing that skill, so the least competent suffer a double inadequacy. Not only are they incompetent, but they lack the mental tools to judge their own incompetence. Further, when poor performers were trained in logical reasoning tasks, their self- assessments improved.
Other research confirms this “unskilled and unaware” effect in real-life scenarios, not just in labs. For instance, hunters with the least firearm knowledge misjudge their expertise the most, and doctors with poor patient-interview skills fail to recognize their inadequacies.
This phenomenon, known as the Dunning-Kruger effect, exemplifies metacognition - thinking about thinking. It’s a humbling reminder that we too might overlook our own ignorance, despite our self-beliefs. So, before feeling smug (沾沾自喜的), consider: you could have potential blind spots, too.
32. How did Kruger and Dunning conduct their study?
A. By assessing subjects’ funniness. B. By repeating identical joke cases.
C. By observing students’ responses. D. By comparing distinct humor ratings.
33. Which aspect of the experiments is mainly discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Estimation tools. B. Test processes.
C. Participant analyses. D. Research findings.
34. What can improve performers’ self-assessments according to the study?
A. Live performing skills. B. Immediate peer feedback.
C. Logical thinking exercises. D. Adequate judging guidance.
35. What does the Dunning-Kruger effect imply?
A. The richer knowledge we have, the humbler we stay.
B. The less capable we are, the smarter we think we are.
C. The stronger self-beliefs we hold, the better we behave.
D. The more skilled we are, the fewer blind spots we have.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了心理学上的邓宁-克鲁格效应,指个体在完成某项任务时对自己能力的评价产生的偏差,特别是那些实际能力相对弱的人,往往倾向于过高估计自身的能力水平,以至于其自我评价可能超出平均水准。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Justin Kruger and David Dunning from Cornell University tested whether those lacking skills also failed to recognize their limitations. They recruited professional comedians to rate the funniness of 30 jokes and then asked65 undergraduates to do the same. The students’ ratings were compared to the professionals’, revealing how well each undergraduate’s sense of humor matched with expert judgment. Participants also estimated how they performed compared to that of the average person. (康奈尔大学的贾斯汀·克鲁格和大卫·邓宁测试了那些缺乏技能的人是否也没有意识到自己的局限性。他们招募了专业喜剧演员来评价30个笑话的有趣程度,然后让65名本科生也这样做。将学生的评分与专业人士的评分进行比较,揭示了每个本科生的幽默感与专家判断的匹配程度。参与者还估计了他们与普通人相比的表现。)”可知,邓宁和克鲁格的研究是通过对比不同人群对笑话幽默程度的评分来进行的。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As anticipated, most students believed their humor judgement was above average. Interestingly, those slightly above average in rating jokes were accurate in their self-assessments, while the best performers modestly rated themselves only slightly above average. Conversely, the poorest performers not only misjudged humor but also overestimated their abilities. The researchers also repeated their experiments with tests of logical reasoning and grammar. In each case, those who performed worst were also the worst at estimating their own capabilities, Even when given feedback on others’ performance, the least competent still couldn’t recognize their own shortcomings. (正如预期的那样,大多数学生认为他们的幽默判断高于平均水平。有趣的是,那些在笑话评分中略高于平均水平的人在自我评估中是准确的,而表现最好的人对自己的评价只是略高于平均值。相反,表现最差的人不仅误判了幽默,还高估了自己的能力。研究人员还通过逻辑推理和语法测试重复了他们的实验。在每种情况下,那些表现最差的人在评估自己的能力方面也是最差的。即使对他人的表现给予反馈,最不称职的人仍然无法认识到自己的缺点。)”可知,本段承接上一段邓宁和克鲁格的研究内容,主要在讨论其结论、发现。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Further, when poor performers were trained in logical reasoning tasks, their self- assessments improved. (此外,当表现不佳的人接受逻辑推理任务的训练时,他们的自我评估得到了改善。)”可知,根据研究,接受逻辑推理相关的训练可以改善一个人的自我评估。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的关键词“unskilled and unaware”及最后一段“It’s a humbling reminder that we too might overlook our own ignorance, despite our self-beliefs. So, before feeling smug (沾沾自喜的), consider: you could have potential blind spots, too. (这是一个令人惭愧的提醒,尽管我们有自信,但我们也可能忽视自己的无知。所以,在自鸣得意之前,请考虑一下:你也可能有潜在的盲点。)”可知,邓宁-克鲁格效应体现的就是实际能力相对弱的人,往往倾向于过高估计自身的能力水平,或者做出自我评价过高的错误判断,与B选项“我们能力越不足,就越觉得自己聪明。”描述相符。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
An old study in the advertising literature found that we’re more likely to read advertisements for the products we have bought, even if they have proved to be “lemons”, or useless. This phenomenon also applies to our decision-making process. Humans sometimes make bad choices and stick with them despite negative consequences. ____36____ But in general bad choices have to do with acting out of emotion and not out of reason. Strong emotions can cloud our thinking and lead us down one rabbit hole after another.
Doubling down on a bad choice may also relate to our self-esteem and the ability to admit mistakes. Narcissists(自恋者) usually won’t admit a mistake because it contradicts their self-image. But the fact is that many of us aren’t narcissistic. ____37____ Even when trapped in a bad relationship, we may still stick with it, hoping things will eventually change for the better.
Resilience involves managing strong emotions and preventing them from fully dictating our decisions. Considering emotion is important, enthusiasm for something can move us forward, but it can also block our vision. ____38____ While relying solely on our “gut feeling” can be helpful, it works best when we use our head, integrating intuitive insights with logical thinking.
Doubling down is generally unwise. We need to acknowledge our errors and be willing to say we’re sorry and apologize. ____39____ In fact, it’s smarter than denying mistakes. By admitting them, we learn valuable lessons and promote personal growth. Recognizing when to cut our losses is crucial, allowing us to pursue new opportunities with confidence. ____40____
A. And we often struggle with this.
B. The reasons for that are complex.
C. Make our decisions with full passion.
D. There is nothing wrong with doing this.
E. So stop trying to make lemonade from bad lemons.
F. The more errors you make, the more you will learn.
G. We should consider what’s right, not just what feels right.
【答案】36. B 37. A 38. G 39. D 40. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了人类会坚持糟糕选择这一现象展开论述,分析了其产生的原因,如受情绪影响、与自尊及承认错误的能力相关等,同时强调了韧性在于管理强烈情绪并结合理性思维做决策,指出加倍坚持糟糕选择是不明智的,应承认错误、及时止损,以促进个人成长并追求新机会。
【36题详解】
根据前文“Humans sometimes make bad choices and stick with them despite negative consequences. (人类有时会做出错误的选择,并且不顾负面后果坚持下去。)”及下文“But in general bad choices have to do with acting out of emotion and not out of reason. (但一般来说,糟糕的选择是出于情感而不是出于理性。)”可知,人类做出错误选择的原因并不是单一的,与B项“The reasons for that are complex. (原因很复杂。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选B项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Narcissists(自恋者) usually won’t admit a mistake because it contradicts their self-image. But the fact is that many of us aren’t narcissistic. (自恋者通常不会承认错误,因为这与他们的自我形象相矛盾。但事实是,我们中的许多人并不自恋。)”及下文“Even when trapped in a bad relationship, we may still stick with it, hoping things will eventually change for the better. (即使陷入一段糟糕的关系中,我们可能仍然坚持下去,希望事情最终会变得更好。)”可知,很多人在承认错误这件事上是有挣扎的,所以即使即使陷入一段糟糕的关系中,我们可能仍然坚持下去,与A项“And we often struggle with this. (我们经常为此而苦苦挣扎。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选A项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“Considering emotion is important, enthusiasm for something can move us forward, but it can also block our vision. (考虑到情感很重要,对某事的热情可以推动我们前进,但它也会阻碍我们的视野。)”及下文“While relying solely on our “gut feeling” can be helpful, it works best when we use our head, integrating intuitive insights with logical thinking. (虽然仅仅依靠我们的“直觉”可能会有所帮助,但当我们使用我们的头脑,将直觉洞察力与逻辑思维相结合时,它的效果最好。)”可知,我们做决定不能只凭感觉对,还要考虑什么是正确的,与G项“We should consider what’s right, not just what feels right. (我们应该考虑什么是正确的,而不仅仅是感觉正确的。)”上下文一致,符合文意,故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Doubling down is generally unwise. We need to acknowledge our errors and be willing to say we’re sorry and apologize (加倍坚持通常是不明智的。我们需要承认我们的错误,并愿意说对不起并道歉。)”及下文“In fact, it’s smarter than denying mistakes. (事实上,这比否认错误更聪明。)”可知,承认错误这件事没有错,与D项“There is nothing wrong with doing this. (这样做没有错。)”上下文一致,承接上文,符合文意,故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Recognizing when to cut our losses is crucial, allowing us to pursue new opportunities with confidence. (认识到何时止损至关重要,这能让我们充满信心地去追寻新的机会。)”可知,要及时止损,不要再试图从糟糕的情况中获取好结果,与E项“So stop trying to make lemonade from bad lemons. (所以不要再试图用坏柠檬制作柠檬水了。)”上下文一致,形象地总结要及时止损,符合文意,故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文围绕北京中轴线展开,介绍了它的历史概况、所体现的文化内涵、为申遗所做的努力以及申遗成功后的发展方向等方面的内容。
【56题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:北京中轴线(BCA)建于13世纪,南北走向贯穿城市中心。句子的主语是The Beijing Central Axis (轴)(BCA),这是一个单数名词短语,且句子描述的是一般事实,时态为一般现在时,所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式runs,故填runs。
【57题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:BCA提出了古代学者著作中描述的皇城模式。model与describe之间是被动关系,应用过去分词作后置定语修饰an imperial city model,故填described。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:它体现了中国的“中”与“和谐”的哲学思想,展示了中华文明在城市规划和建设中的想象力和创造力。这里需要一个名词作宾语,Chinese修饰该名词,civilize的名词形式是civilization/civilisation。故填civilization/civilisation。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:因此,新加坡建设局经常被誉为“北京的灵魂和脊梁”。be praised as...是固定搭配,意为“被称赞为……”,故填as。
【60题详解】
考查冠词。句意:2011年,为了更好地保护和发展BCA,北京市政府启动了一个项目,以确保中轴线被列为世界遗产。这里表示“一个项目”,project是可数名词单数,且此处是泛指,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【61题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:在申请世界遗产的过程中,BCA专注于修复历史悠久的建筑,同时对附近的住宅进行更新和升级,使其更适合居民居住,这为全球古城保护提供了一种中国模式。此处应为形容词性物主代词修饰World Heritage status application,指代the BCA,故填its。
【62题详解】
考查一般过去时的被动语态。句意:在申请世界遗产的过程中,BCA专注于修复历史悠久的建筑,同时对附近的住宅进行更新和升级,使其更适合居民居住,这为全球古城保护提供了一种中国模式。句子的主语是residential houses nearby,是复数形式,且与renew之间是被动关系,再结合时态是一般过去时,空处应为一般过去时的被动语态,故填were renewed。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在申请世界遗产的过程中,BCA专注于修复历史悠久的建筑,同时对附近的住宅进行更新和升级,使其更适合居民居住,这为全球古城保护提供了一种中国模式。先行词是前面整个句子During its World Heritage status application, the BCA focused on restoring time-honored buildings, while residential houses nearby were renewed and upgraded to make them more comfortable for the residents所描述的情况,关系词在从句中作主语,故填which。
【64题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:例如,钟鼓楼的修缮遵循了“修旧如旧”的原则,提升了钟鼓楼景观的视觉廊道,恢复了其独特的老城魅力。这里需要一个非谓语动词作伴随状语,主语the Bell and Drum Towers renovation与enhance之间是主动关系,空处应为现在分词作伴随状语,故填enhancing。
【65题详解】
考查一般将来时。句意:世界遗产地位代表着一个新起点,文保局将通过进一步的保护努力和更好地支持文化遗产保护继续绽放光彩。根据前文World Heritage status representing a new starting point可知,这里是说从这个新起点开始,北京中轴线将会继续闪耀,所以用一般将来时will continue。故填will continue。

67. 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。
“Why can’t Grandpa just be normal? Why does he have to be so odd?” Carter asked his Grandma.
Grandma laughed. “I’ve considered that for many years.”
They sat on a Florida beach, watching Grandpa and his friends riding wave-skis in the ocean. The early morning sun warmed their faces as the sand gradually heated beneath them.
Carter scooped up a handful of sand and let it sift through his fingers. “Why do we have to come here so early?” he questioned, noting that the rest of his family was still asleep.
With a smile, Grandma explained that the morning waves were calmer with less wind. She mentioned how Grandpa loved the thrill of a big wave’s shadow looming over him before it hit.
Carter grumbled that none of his friends knew what a wave-ski was, and they thought it was odd when he tried to explain it. He wondered why Grandpa didn’t pick a more typical hobby, like restoring old cars, which he thought seemed cooler.
Grandma patted Carter’s shoulder and replied that wave-skiing was like surfing on a short kayak (皮艇) combining elements of kayaking and surfing. She added how they paddled out to catch bigger waves like surfers, steering with a paddle, and highlighted the thrill of the experience.
“Nobody’s grandpa does this. I love you both, but neither of you act s like typical grandparents,” Carter remarked.
Grandma laughed again, sharing that Grandpa’s friends were also grandparents and asked what else they should be doing.
Carter, unsure, simply muttered, “I don’t know. Grandparent stuff.”
“Each summer, your family visits. We enjoy the beach, swim, and cherish our time together. That’s what truly matters. Everyone has their own way of enjoying life, and for Grandpa, it’s wave-skiing.” Grandma paused, her eyes sparkling with warmth.
Carter sighed. “I guess. But it’s still odd.”
“Why don’t you give it a try? You might find it’s more fun than you think,”
Grandma encouraged. Carter hesitated but agreed. “Okay, I’ll give it a shot.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: The next morning, Carter and Grandpa headed out early.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: By the end of the morning, Carter was grinning from ear to ear.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version: (192 words)
The next morning, Carter and Grandpa headed out early. Grandpa handed him a smaller waveski and helped secure the strap before they paddled out. In the golden sun, Carter, drowsy- eyed, watched in awe as Grandpa skillfully demonstrated how to balance and steer, riding up and down waves effortlessly. Amid the rolling waves, his “odd” grandpa was no longer an old guy but a marvelous waveskier. “Ready, champ?” Grandpa’s shouts brought Carter’s thoughts back. “Yes!” Carter yelled, a flicker of excitement bubbling inside him. Despite frequent tumbles into the cool and salty water, he finally caught “his” first wave, savoring the thrilling rush like never before.
By the end of the morning, Carter was grinning from ear to ear. “I did it, Grandpa! I could ride waves!” Carter exclaimed breathlessly. Grandpa beamed, clapping him on the back. “You sure did, buddy.” While paddling back, Carter had a newfound appreciation for Grandpa and his unusual hobby. Back on the beach, Grandma smiled and asked, “How was it?” “Awesome! I bet my friends will like it, too!” Carter replied proudly.
