Repeat this process (remembering to count the amount of sugar you put into the water) until the sugar stops dissolving (溶解). At this point, the sugar starts to gather on the bottom of the glass rather than dissolving. ●Write down how much sugar you could dissolve in the cold water. ●Repeat the same process in the hot water, and then compare the number of sugar dissolved in each glass. Which dissolved more? What’s happening? What’s happening? The cold water isn’t able to dissolve as much sugar as the hot water. Sugar dissolves in the hot water three times as fast as in the cold water. But why? Another name for the liquids inside the glasses is a “solution”. When this solution can no longer dissolve sugar, it becomes a “saturated (饱和的) solution”. This means that sugar starts forming on the bottom of the glass. The reason why the hot water dissolves more is that it has faster moving molecules (分子) which are spread further apart than the molecules in the cold water. With bigger gaps between the molecules in the hot water, more sugar molecules can fit in between them. 1 What isn’t needed in the experiment? A. Sugar. B. Water. C. Spoon. D. Bowl. 2. In which order does the experiment develop? a. Put sugar into each glass until the sugar stops dissolving. b. Write down the amount of sugar that dissolves in each glass. c. Compare the two numbers. d. Prepare a glass of cold water and a glass of hot water. A. a-c-b-d B. d-a-b-c C. d-a-c-b D. a-b-c-d 3. The passage is a page from ________. A. a chemistry magazine B. a travel guide C. a film poster D. a daily newspaper B Several years ago, a worldwide heavy rain was predicted, but no one got prepared for what was to come. Then, some areas received over 100 mm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless. The weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars. With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or our fault? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists hold the same view that human activity has made the Earth warmer. It is this global warming that makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also result in more water going into the air, which causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger. This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 4. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A A past weather event happened in some areas in the world. B. Some facts are listed about the global warming. C. A number of recent weather events happened over the world. D. Wild weather is partly the result of human activity. 5. How does paragraph two develop? A. By giving a lot of examples of recent wild weather events. B. By describing a serious flood that once happened. C. By predicting how the weather will change in a few years. D. By comparing the former wild weather with what happened now 6. What does scientist Michael’s words mean? A. People can not do anything to prevent wild weather. B. If people stop global warming, the weather will be better. C. It is too late to stop global warming. D. People have to stand by and accept what will happen to us. 7. Where can you probably find the text? A. In a tourist brochure B. In a research paper C. In a science fiction D. In a nature magazine C Recent years have seen a small increase in unemployment rates due to slowing of the economy. The fact that many college graduates are finding it difficult to land a job has sparked online discussions on the cost of education and the returns on it, with many agreeing with the notion that “education is useless”. Stories like a person with a doctorate’s degree from Zhejiang University is delivering food, and overseas-returned graduates are selling hot-pot ingredients have caused many to question the value of education. Moreover, the fact that about 36,000 fewer candidates have applied to take the postgraduate exam in 2024, the first decline in numbers in years, has also fueled the “education is useless theory. Is education truly worthless? This question has resurfaced due to several factors. The wide spread of higher education has significantly increased the number of college graduates, reducing the value of college degrees. As the job market becomes over-crowded with graduates, the scarcity of high-level talents has become apparent, particularly in fields such as the humanities. For example, more than 900 institutions in China offer English major, making it the most common degree program, yet there’s a shortage of top talents who are proficient in English and have a good knowledge about the differences in Chinese and foreign approach to fields such as international relations and journalism. The declining returns on the investment in education have given rise to the “education is useless” theory. Given the challenging job market, many believe college education does not guarantee any sort of employment, let alone a suitable job. And with various economic opportunities available, the notion that one can become financially successful even without formal education is becoming increasingly acceptable. In light of these developments, combined efforts need to be made to change the situation. For instance, universities must take measures to integrate education, research and industry, while enhancing cooperation with enterprises through tailored talent training programs. Additionally, the authorities need to pay greater attention to vocational education, an important part of China’s educational system. Students, parents and society, on their part, should abandon their bias against vocational training, because it integrates education with career prospects throughout the learning process, offering targeted, technical and practical training which allows students to master their skills which can get them well-paying jobs in the future. Developing a correct view of employment and career choice is key to abandoning the notion of “education being useless”. People, especially students, must understand the current employment landscape, their positioning, and strengths and weaknesses. While realizing that a college degree is no longer a ticket to employment, college students should leverage education resources to enrich their professional knowledge and competitiveness. And youths should approach vocational education with an open mind in order to make the most of what the job market has to offer. Education is not synonymous with earning money, nor does a college degree guarantee financial success. The value of education is knowledge, which we need to make informed decisions not only in our professional life but also in our social and other fields of life. 8. What are the main reasons for the recent rise in the belief that ”education is useless”? A. Economic slowdown and job scarcity. B. Sad stories about educated individuals. C Decline in postgraduate exam applicants. D. Emphasis on practical skills over qualifications. 9 How can universities contribute to improving the current situation? A. By focusing solely on academic research. B. By integrating education, research, and industry. C. By ignoring cooperation with enterprises. D. By eliminating vocational education courses. 10. The underlined word leverage in paragraph 7 can be best replaced by___________. A. limit B. abandon C. balance D. maximize 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of vocational education? A. Negative and pessimistic B. Positive and supportive C. Balanced and objective D. Unclear and ambiguous D Does forgiveness go against our human nature? To address this, we need to ask a further question: What makes us human? Simply put, people hold two contrasting views on humanity. The first centers on control and power. In an early paper on forgiveness, Droll (1984) wrote that human nature leans more towards aggression (攻击性) than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against what they’re built for, much to their harm. He believes that forgivers are risking their own well-being as they show forgiveness to others, who might then take advantage of them. For the second view, we see respect and love, in the sense of serving others, in the work of Lewis, Amini, and Lannon (2001). They present the scientific argument that we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. From this second viewpoint, forgiveness plays a key role in the overall health of both individuals and communities, both physically and mentally, because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the reduction of hatred and the reestablishment of harmony. Given that control and disrespect can affect a person’s psychological (心理的) and relational well-being, the first approach does not seem workable as a way to live. Given that forgiveness has been shown in numerous studies to increase well-being, it follows that the second approach seems more effective, both from the reasoning of philosophy and the supported theories from social science. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. Consider, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a way of social harmony? As an important warning, when we take a Classical Realist philosophical viewpoint, that of Aristotle, we see the difference between possibility and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the ability to forgive, but we have the chance to learn and get better at it. The actuality of forgiving, its actual application in conflict (冲突) situations, grows with certain training. 12. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness? A. It is a sign of weakness. B. It is a part of human nature. C. It is a threat to one’s well-being. D. It is a natural response to aggression. 13. Why does the author mention “slavery” in paragraph 3? A. To blame the unfairness of the system. B. To illustrate the harm from over control. C. To stress the importance of management. D. To promote the idea of harmonious interactions. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward forgiveness? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Uncertain. 15. How is forgiveness developed according to Aristotle? A. Born nature. B. Social upbringing. C. Learned practice. D. Outside pressure. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 You’ve probably heard someone complain about the state of people’s intelligence: current generations aren’t as smart as the ones that came before them. Actually, there isn’t much support for this idea. ___16___ Researchers studying the Flynn effect have found that scores on IQ tests have actually improved over time.

Researchers studying this effect have found wide support for this phenomenon.___17___ There’re several theories to explain the Flynn effect. One explanation has to do with improvements in health.

Our education focuses more on difficult problems and situations. The entertainment is even more complex (复杂的) today. All these get us to develop new mental habits and thinking patterns, promoting the increase of IQ scores.

Instead, the opposite may be true. B. Our intelligence can be changed with our efforts. C. Social changes that have occurred could also play a part. D.

When Jimmy’s two year-old son noticed that dog, he offered it a biscuit with his small hands. The dog was happy to get a treat from the kid and stay with him. Soon the kid and the dog became friends. From that moment, the dog wouldn’t leave the kid’s side even for a minute. On the third day of the trip, Jimmy’s family and their friends celebrated the kid’s birthday and everyone enjoyed it.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。旨在呈现一个实验以弄清楚热水和冷水哪个溶解的糖更多。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据What you need“你需要什么”这一部分的第一点至第四点“Sugar-Cold water in a clear glass-Hot water in a clear glass-Spoon for stirring (搅拌) (糖-透明玻璃杯中的冷水-透明玻璃中的热水-搅拌用的勺子)”可知，糖，水和勺子都需要，故bowl“碗”未提及，不需要。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据What you do“你做什么”这一部分的第一点“Make sure the glasses have the same amount of water. (确保玻璃杯中的水量相同。)”， 第二点一二句“Put an amount of sugar into the cold water and stir it with the spoon until the sugar disappears. Repeat this process (remembering to count the amount of sugar you put into the water) until the sugar stops dissolving (溶解). (在冷水中放入适量的糖，用勺子搅拌，直到糖消失。重复这个过程（记住计算你放入水中的糖的量），直到糖停止溶解。)”， 第三点“Write down how much sugar you could dissolve in the cold water. (写下你能在冷水中溶解多少糖。)”以及第四点第一句“Repeat the same process in the hot water, and then compare the number of sugar dissolved in each glass. (在热水中重复同样的过程，然后比较每个玻璃杯中溶解的糖的数量。)”可知，先准备好冷热水，然后分别把糖放在冷热水中搅拌知道溶解，最后比较两个杯子中糖的溶解数量。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The reason why the hot water dissolves more is that it has faster moving molecules (分子) which are spread further apart than the molecules in the cold water. With bigger gaps between the molecules in the hot water, more sugar molecules can fit in between them. (热水溶解更多的原因是它有移动更快的分子，这些分子比冷水中的分子分散得更远。热水中分子之间的间隙越大，它们之间可以容纳更多的糖分子。)”可知，本文与糖分子相关，这是化学术语，故该文可能出自化学杂志。故选A项。 B Several years ago, a worldwide heavy rain was predicted, but no one got prepared for what was to come. Then, some areas received over 100 mm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless. The weather is always changing. Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars. With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or our fault? The answer seems to be: a little of both. Wild weather is natural. But most scientists hold the same view that human activity has made the Earth warmer. It is this global warming that makes heat waves more likely. The higher temperatures also result in more water going into the air, which causes heavier and more frequent rain. Many scientists also believe global warming makes hurricanes and other storms stronger. This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives. 4. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph? A. A past weather event happened in some areas in the world. B. Some facts are listed about the global warming. C. A number of recent weather events happened over the world. D. Wild weather is partly the result of human activity. 5. How does paragraph two develop? A. By giving a lot of examples of recent wild weather events. B. By describing a serious flood that once happened. C. By predicting how the weather will change in a few years. D. By comparing the former wild weather with what happened now 6. What does scientist Michael’s words mean? A. People can not do anything to prevent wild weather. B. If people stop global warming, the weather will be better. C. It is too late to stop global warming. D. People have to stand by and accept what will happen to us. 7. Where can you probably find the text? A. In a tourist brochure B. In a research paper C. In a science fiction D. In a nature magazine 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，本文介绍了恶劣天气事件的增多及背后的原因，并提出了我们应该如何对待这一现象。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Then, some areas received over 100 cm of rain. Cars and trucks floated down the streets. Whole buildings were swept away. At least 225 people lost their lives, and millions became homeless.(当时，一些地区的降雨量超过了100厘米。汽车和卡车沿街行驶。整座建筑物被冲走。至少225人丧生，数百万人无家可归)”可知，第一段描述了过去发生在世界上的一些地区的天气事件。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Over the past few years, heavy rains have led to floods in many parts of the world. Droughts have taken place in Brazil and Australia. There have been heat waves in Europe which killed thousands. There have been more powerful hurricanes and tornadoes than ever before. In 2017 alone, the financial cost from global weather events was up to 340 billion dollars.(在过去的几年里，暴雨在世界许多地方导致了洪水。巴西和澳大利亚也发生了干旱。欧洲的热浪造成数千人死亡。飓风和龙卷风的威力比以往任何时候都大。仅在2017年，全球天气事件造成的经济损失就高达3400亿美元)”可知，文章第二段列举了很多最近恶劣天气事件的例子。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This means we’re likely to see more wild weather. “But we don’t have to just stand there and accept it,” says scientist Michael. He and other experts say we need to stop the Earth from getting warmer. We also need to be prepared, to do things that will help save lives.(这意味着我们可能会看到更多的恶劣天气。“但我们不必只是站在那里接受它，”科学家迈克尔说。他和其他专家表示，我们需要阻止地球变暖。我们还需要做好准备，做一些有助于拯救生命的事情)”可知，迈克尔的话表明，全球变暖对气候有影响，如果人们阻止全球变暖，天气会更好。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The weather is always changing.(天气总是在变化)”及第三段“With more wild weather events happening, people couldn’t help asking questions: What is happening with the weather? And why? Is this natural, or our fault? The answer seems to be: a little of both.(随着越来越多的恶劣天气事件的发生，人们不禁要问：天气怎么了？为什么？这是自然的，还是我们的错？答案似乎是:两者兼而有之)”可知，本文介绍了恶劣天气事件的增多及背后的原因及我们应该如何对待这一现象，文章应该出自自然杂志。故选D。 C Recent years have seen a small increase in unemployment rates due to slowing of the economy. The fact that many college graduates are finding it difficult to land a job has sparked online discussions on the cost of education and the returns on it, with many agreeing with the notion that “education is useless”. Stories like a person with a doctorate’s degree from Zhejiang University is delivering food, and overseas-returned graduates are selling hot-pot ingredients have caused many to question the value of education. Moreover, the fact that about 36,000 fewer candidates have applied to take the postgraduate exam in 2024, the first decline in numbers in years, has also fueled the “education is useless theory. Is education truly worthless? This question has resurfaced due to several factors. The wide spread of higher education has significantly increased the number of college graduates, reducing the value of college degrees. As the job market becomes over-crowded with graduates, the scarcity of high-level talents has become apparent, particularly in fields such as the humanities. For example, more than 900 institutions in China offer English major, making it the most common degree program, yet there’s a shortage of top talents who are proficient in English and have a good knowledge about the differences in Chinese and foreign approach to fields such as international relations and journalism. The declining returns on the investment in education have given rise to the “education is useless” theory. Given the challenging job market, many believe college education does not guarantee any sort of employment, let alone a suitable job. And with various economic opportunities available, the notion that one can become financially successful even without formal education is becoming increasingly acceptable. In light of these developments, combined efforts need to be made to change the situation. For instance, universities must take measures to integrate education, research and industry, while enhancing cooperation with enterprises through tailored talent training programs. Additionally, the authorities need to pay greater attention to vocational education, an important part of China’s educational system. Students, parents and society, on their part, should abandon their bias against vocational training, because it integrates education with career prospects throughout the learning process, offering targeted, technical and practical training which allows students to master their skills which can get them well-paying jobs in the future. Developing a correct view of employment and career choice is key to abandoning the notion of “education being useless”. People, especially students, must understand the current employment landscape, their positioning, and strengths and weaknesses. While realizing that a college degree is no longer a ticket to employment, college students should leverage education resources to enrich their professional knowledge and competitiveness. And youths should approach vocational education with an open mind in order to make the most of what the job market has to offer. Education is not synonymous with earning money, nor does a college degree guarantee financial success. The value of education is knowledge, which we need to make informed decisions not only in our professional life but also in our social and other fields of life. 8. What are the main reasons for the recent rise in the belief that ”education is useless”? A. Economic slowdown and job scarcity. B. Sad stories about educated individuals. C. Decline in postgraduate exam applicants. D. Emphasis on practical skills over qualifications. 9. How can universities contribute to improving the current situation? A. By focusing solely on academic research. B. By integrating education, research, and industry. C. By ignoring cooperation with enterprises. D. By eliminating vocational education courses. 10. The underlined word leverage in paragraph 7 can be best replaced by___________. A. limit B. abandon C. balance D. maximize 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the development of vocational education? A. Negative and pessimistic B. Positive and supportive C. Balanced and objective D. Unclear and ambiguous 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要围绕“教育无用论”这一主题展开，提出了不同的观点和论据，呼吁人们重新审视教育的真正价值和意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Recent years have seen a small increase in unemployment rates due to slowing of the economy. The fact that many college graduates are finding it difficult to land a job has sparked online discussions on the cost of education and the returns on it, with many agreeing with the notion that “education is useless”.(近年来，由于经济放缓，失业率略有上升。许多大学毕业生发现很难找到工作，这一事实在网上引发了关于教育成本和教育回报的讨论，许多人同意“教育无用”的观点。)”可知，教育无用”这一观点最近上升的主要原因是因为近年来的经济放缓和就业率低。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“In light of these developments, combined efforts need to be made to change the situation. For instance, universities must take measures to integrate education, research and industry, while enhancing cooperation with enterprises through tailored talent training programs. (鉴于这些事态发展，需要作出共同努力来改变这种情况。例如，大学必须采取措施，将教育、科研和产业结合起来，同时通过量身定制的人才培养计划加强与企业的合作。)”可知，大学应该采取措施将教育、科研和产业结合起来，同时通过量身定制的人才培养计划加强与企业的合作。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词后的“education resources to enrich their professional knowledge and competitiveness(教育资源来丰富自己的专业知识和竞争力。)”可推测，大学生应充分利用教育资源，丰富自己的专业知识和竞争力。划线单词leverage为“充分利用”之意。选项A“limit(限制)”；选项B“abandon (放弃)”；选项C“balance (平衡)”；选项D“maximize (充分利用)”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第六段“Additionally, the authorities need to pay greater attention to vocational education, an important part of China’s educational system. Students, parents and society, on their part, should abandon their bias against vocational training, because it integrates education with career prospects throughout the learning process, offering targeted, technical and practical training which allows students to master their skills which can get them well-paying jobs in the future. (此外，当局需要更多地关注职业教育，这是中国教育体系的重要组成部分。就学生、家长和社会而言，应该摒弃对职业培训的偏见，因为它将教育与职业前景贯穿于整个学习过程中，提供有针对性的、技术的和实用的培训，使学生掌握技能，从而在未来获得高薪工作。)”以及文章倒数第二段“And youths should approach vocational education with an open mind in order to make the most of what the job market has to offer.(年轻人应该以开放的心态接受职业教育，以便最大限度地利用就业市场提供的机会。)”可知，作者提到“当局需要更加重视职业教育，这是中国教育体系的重要组成部分”，这表明作者认为职业教育是教育体系中的一个重要部分，并且需要得到更多的重视。此外，作者还指出“学生、家长和社会也应该摒弃对职业教育的偏见”，这进一步表明作者支持职业教育，并希望社会各界能够改变对职业教育的看法。因此，可以判断作者对于职业教育的发展持有积极和支持的态度。故选B。 D Does forgiveness go against our human nature? To address this, we need to ask a further question: What makes us human? Simply put, people hold two contrasting views on humanity. The first centers on control and power. In an early paper on forgiveness, Droll (1984) wrote that human nature leans more towards aggression (攻击性) than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against what they’re built for, much to their harm. He believes that forgivers are risking their own well-being as they show forgiveness to others, who might then take advantage of them. For the second view, we see respect and love, in the sense of serving others, in the work of Lewis, Amini, and Lannon (2001). They present the scientific argument that we need both to receive love from and offer love to others. From this second viewpoint, forgiveness plays a key role in the overall health of both individuals and communities, both physically and mentally, because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the reduction of hatred and the reestablishment of harmony. Given that control and disrespect can affect a person’s psychological (心理的) and relational well-being, the first approach does not seem workable as a way to live. Given that forgiveness has been shown in numerous studies to increase well-being, it follows that the second approach seems more effective, both from the reasoning of philosophy and the supported theories from social science. Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. Consider, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a way of social harmony? As an important warning, when we take a Classical Realist philosophical viewpoint, that of Aristotle, we see the difference between possibility and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the ability to forgive, but we have the chance to learn and get better at it. The actuality of forgiving, its actual application in conflict (冲突) situations, grows with certain training. 12. What is Droll’s idea about forgiveness? A It is a sign of weakness. B. It is a part of human nature. C. It is a threat to one’s well-being. D. It is a natural response to aggression. 13. Why does the author mention “slavery” in paragraph 3? A. To blame the unfairness of the system. B. To illustrate the harm from over control. C. To stress the importance of management. D. To promote the idea of harmonious interactions. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward forgiveness? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Uncertain. 15. How is forgiveness developed according to Aristotle? A. Born nature. B. Social upbringing. C. Learned practice. D. Outside pressure. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕“原谅是否违背人类本性”这一主题进行了深入的探讨和论证，通过对比不同的人类本性观点，分析了原谅在个体和社区中的作用和意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段"In an early paper on the psychology of forgiveness, Droll(1984) made the interesting claim that humans' essential nature is more aggressive than forgiving allows. Those who forgive are against their basic nature, much to their harm. In his opinion, forgivers are compromising their well-being as they offer mercy to others, who might then take advantage of them. (在一篇关于宽恕心理学的早期论文中，Droll（1984）提出了一个有趣的观点，即人类的本质比宽恕所允许的更具攻击性。那些宽恕的人违背了他们的本性，对他们造成了很大的伤害。在他看来，宽恕者在向他人提供仁慈的同时，也在损害自己的幸福，而这些人可能会利用他们。)”可知，Droll为宽恕的人违背了他们的本性，对他们造成了很大的伤害，他认为宽恕者在向他人提供仁慈的同时，也在损害自己的幸福。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Even common sense strongly suggests that the will to power over others does not make for harmonious interactions. Consider, how well has slavery (奴隶制) worked as a way of social harmony? (即使是常识也强烈表明，对他人施加权力的意志并不能带来和谐的互动。想想看，奴隶制作为一种社会和谐的方式有多好？)”可知，通过以奴隶社会举例，以反问的方式，来阐明试图通过支配和权力来控制他人并不能带来真正的和谐或幸福，即控制就是伤害。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“From this second viewpoint of who we are as humans, forgiveness plays a key role in the biological and psychological integrity of both individuals and communities because one of the outcomes of forgiveness, shown through scientific studies, is the decreasing of hatred and the restoration of harmony. Forgiveness can break the cycle of anger. At least to the extent the people from whom you are estranged accept your love and forgiveness and are prepared to make the required adjustments. Forgiveness can heal relationships and reconnect people. (从作为人类的第二种观点来看，宽恕在个人和社区的生理和心理完整性方面都起着关键作用，因为科学研究表明，宽恕的结果之一是减少仇恨，恢复和谐。宽恕可以打破愤怒的循环。至少在某种程度上，与你疏远的人接受你的爱和宽恕，并准备做出必要的调整。宽恕可以治愈人际关系，重新连接人际关系。)”可知，作者认为原谅在个体和社区生物学和心理学完整性中的关键作用，指出原谅能够减少仇恨、恢复和谐，并且能够打破愤怒的循环。作者还提到原谅可以治愈关系，让人们重新建立联系。这些观点都表明作者对于原谅持有支持的态度。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As an important warning, when we take a Classical Realist philosophical viewpoint, that of Aristotle, we see the difference between possibility and actuality. We are not necessarily born with the ability to forgive, but we have the chance to learn and get better at it. The actuality of forgiving, its actual application in conflict (冲突) situations, grows with certain training. (值得注意的是，当我们从古典哲学的角度，即亚里士多德的角度来看，我们会看到潜在性和现实性之间的区别。我们不一定天生就有宽恕的能力，但我们有潜力去学习宽恕，并在宽恕的能力中成长。宽恕的现实性，它在冲突情境中的实际运用，是随着实践而发展的。)”可知，作者通过Aristotle，指出我们并不是天生就具备原谅的能力，而是需要通过学习和实践来培养和发展这种能力。因此，原谅并不是一种自然而然的行为，而是需要我们付出努力去实践的。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 You’ve probably heard someone complain about the state of people’s intelligence: current generations aren’t as smart as the ones that came before them.
