40.Imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue.
41. Humans might use group chats as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
42.▶Without a standard etiquette, people have different ideas about what messages should be answered.
Without a standard etiquette, people have different ideas about what degree of responsiveness is required. 43.(1) The music apps on my smart phone have a positive influence on friendship. Thanks to the sharing functions, I have been able to get to know people who have the same taste of music and we can even listen to our favorite pieces at the same time.
(2) Video games have become a challenge to my relationships with friends. Sometimes I have to reluctantly play with them as a team even when I am busy. In addition, the disagreement and complaints when we are playing the game also potentially harm friendship.
第二节 (20 分)
Dear Jim,
I’m thrilled to share with you the amazing technological advancements around me. In daily life, tech is everywhere. For example, we use smartphones to communicate, access information, and even shop online. Smart home devices help us manage our homes more efficiently, making life more convenient.
When it comes to my studies, technology has been a great aid. Online learning platforms offer a vast amount of educational resources. I often use apps like Douyin for learning English — there are numerous excellent English-learning channels. What’s more, AI - powered translation tools help me understand foreign materials better.
Technology has truly made our lives and studies more wonderful. Looking forward to hearing from you about the tech scene in the UK.
Yours,
Li Hua

Last summer, on her way to work in Minneapolis, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She 1 down her window, shouting, “Do you want a 2 haircut right now?”
Getting a yes, she pulled off the road, took a red chair from her car, and helped the man cut his hair. After Steller was 3 , the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he laughed.
To date, Steller has given such haircuts to people all living on the margins (边缘) around the city, and she is keenly aware of the 4 of her cleanup job.
A haircut changed Steller’s life: As a teen, with a severe disease, her hair got thinned. So, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut, where she felt 5 when talked to like a person. After that, Steller knew how to help people feel the way she’d felt that day. “I want it to be a gateway, to show 6 , but also to get to know people.”
In 2009, she began Red Chair Project, 7 out to people on the streets. What breaks Steller’s heart is just how lonely people look, so she listens to their stories of loss and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention 8 works.
And it all began with a 9 in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller, “I can’t fix people’s problems, but maybe I can help them feel less 10 for a moment.”

This Tiny Box Will Help You Relax in Terrible Summer Heat!
Traditional Air Conditioners (AC) are outdated. They cost a lot to install and even more to run. They are huge, noisy, and dangerous to clean. You can’t move them around the house with you or take them outside! Thousands of people are now using a much cheaper alternative to cool themselves in the heat and clean their personal air. With over a million units sold worldwide, this device is becoming one of the most successful gadgets of 2019. EVERYONE wants this awesome looking box for summer!What Are We Talking About?
Meet the new AirFreez, an innovative alternative to AC that cools you just the same! It’s a perfect solution for those very hot days and nights! The AirFreez was designed by two Swiss engineers who were fed up suffering the hot summers. They realized that AC units are super inefficient and cost a lot of money to use. The engineers also discovered that none of the traditional AC units were made to travel with.
So, they designed this light-weight, portable Air Cooling box. It uses a very small amount of electricity and all without sacrificing any of the main benefits of a top AC model! It’s tiny, easy to use and it can cool you in seconds!What Is So Special About This Little Box?
The main benefits of AirFreez are its portability and price.

And There Is One More Thing. The price is just amazing. Most AC units cost at least $300+ AND you have to pay for installation PLUS cover the expensive electricity bills each month.
The AirFreez costs less than $100 (Actually $53 for each if you buy more than one here). No messy installation (安装), no expensive electricity bills. For a Cooling unit of this quality, this must be the single best price-quality AC unit there is!How Can You Get An AirFreez?

I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water.
Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal.
As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped.
Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause.
A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again.
24.Elise was nervous because ______.
A.she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B.she was worrying about her rough voice
C.she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D.she had to face a large audience in the hall
25.When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______.
A.lost herself in the beautiful music B.tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound
C.felt something wrong with the stage lights D.counted the beats of the song alongside him
26.What does the story mainly tell us?
A.Teamwork turns the impossible into reality.
B.Continuous hard work will eventually pay off.
C.Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence.
D.True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures.
C
When I was a kid, my summer sport of choice was baseball. Every day I played until it was too dark to see the ball. It was about fun and not fitness. But now that I’m older, and my baseball glove has been officially retired, I need a summertime sport that brings back the playfulness of my youth, but also works to keep my physical and mental skills sharp.
So, I picked up a racket (球拍).
It turns out that racket sports are not only fun, but they may help me live longer. A study published online by the British Journal of Sports Medicine examined the connections between six different types of exercise and the risk of early death. Researchers looked at racket sports, swimming, aerobics, cycling, running, and soccer. Study volunteers included 80,306 people, who ranged in age from 30 to 98. Over the course of the study’s nine years, those who regularly played racket sports were 47% less likely to die of any cause and 56% less likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
“In many ways, racket sports like tennis, badminton, table tennis, and other variations are the ideal exercise for many older adults,” says Daryanani, a physical therapist and personal trainer with Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Outpatient Center. “Besides offering a good cardiovascular workout, they can help with both upper-and lower-body strength at the same time. They can be played at any age, can be adapted to fit most fitness levels, and do not involve a lot of equipment.”
Racket sports offer something other fitness sports do not - lateral (横向的) movement. “Most of our lives are spent moving forward, and that includes our exercise,” says Daryanani. “Racket sports force you to move both back and forth and side to side. This helps improve balance, which can lower your risk of falls.” This kind of activity also exercises your mind. It sharpens your planning and decision-making skills, as you must always be ready for and make your next shot.
Racket sports also have something to do with social relationships. You play against other people - either by yourself or part of a doubles team - while other exercises like running, swimming, and cycling are more individual (个人的) sports. Frequent social contact is important for a long and healthy life. In fact, a 2021 study found that loneliness led to physical and mental illness and an increased risk of death among adults older than age 60.
So, go ahead, pick up a racket and enjoy the benefits of having good health.
27.Why does the author mention his personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A.To stress how fun it was to play baseball.
B.To highlight the benefits of playing sports.
C.To show how his sport preferences had changed.
D.To present the reasons for starting racket sports.
28.The study in Paragraph 3 shows ________.
A.doing exercise is popular among adults
B.different types of exercise are connected
C.people choose different sports as they age
D.racket sports may help to prevent early death
29.Paragraph 6 mainly talks about ________.
A.why loneliness is bad for human beings
B.why racket sports are socially good for people
C.the important findings of physical and mental illness
D.the comparison between racket sports and other fitness sports
30.What can we learn about racket sports?
A.They benefit people mentally rather than physically.
B.They reduce the risk of falls as lateral movement is involved.
C.They’re better than individual sports because they help improve balance.
D.They’re suitable for young people because whole-body strength is required.
D
Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous (匿名的) process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain, said Don Conlon, Professor of Management in MSU’s Broad College of Business.
But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and, when they were successful, worried they overpaid. Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle. “Americans are very busy, and it’s less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer,” Conlon said. “People tend to be happier when they’re in the receiver role.”
Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next four years, from $226 billion this year to $327 billion in 2017, according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, research into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those of shoppers. Conlon’s study is, obviously, a rare exception.
Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, priceline.com, which takes bids, and hotwire.com, which provides offers. Using these two models, Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said, but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further, when they had to make the bids, they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
From an industry perspective, putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you're a business with a lot of product,” Conlon said, “you may want to be the one making the offers.” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car, accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.
31.What can we learn from Para.1?
A.The result of the study gives customers more confidence.
B.Scholars aren’t surprised at the findings of the study.
C.Online shoppers don’t bargain as much as expected.
D.E-commerce industry drives more hard bargains.
32.It can be concluded from Conlon’s experiments that _______.
A.online shopping is time-consuming
B.given prices can promote online sales
C.online businesses provide a lot of products
D.receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful
33.The underlined word “taxed” in Para.4 probably means _______.
A.burdened B.numbed C.relieved D.challenged
34.The passage is mainly about_______.
A.the big advantages of online shopping
B.the rapid development of online shopping
C.online shoppers’ preference for taking offers
D.online companies’ strategies to improve service

Animals have their own unique ways of communicating, which play an important role in their survival and social interactions. The communication signals are various and have developed over countless generations, finely adjusted to meet their specific needs. 35
One common form of animal communication is through vocalizations. Birds are masters of this. For example, the melodious songs of nightingales aren’t just for our enjoyment. Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away. 36 The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.
37 Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.
Chemical signals, often in the form of pheromones (信息素), are widely used too. Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources. 38 Female moths can detect the pheromones of male moths from miles away, enabling them to find each other for mating.
Some animals even use visual displays. Peacocks (孔雀) spread their beautiful tails in a dazzling fan. This isn’t just for show; it’s a way to attract peahens during the breeding season. 39 The more brilliant the display is, the more likely they are to catch a female’s eye and pass on their genes.
In conclusion, the animal kingdom’s communication systems are a wonder of nature. Understanding these communication methods gives us a fascinating peek into the animal kingdom’s hidden social lives.
A.People recognize the signals suggesting changes.
B.It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.
C.A wagging tail can mean friendliness or excitement.
D.And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.
E.Body language is also an important way to communicate.
F.The bright colors and patterns show good health and genetic quality.
G.By understanding these signals, we can appreciate the animal world more easily.

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Group-Chat Culture Is Out of Control
For better or worse, we might be in the Age of the Group Chat. In a recent survey, most people said they felt stressed out by group messages, which can feel like a part-time job.
Connection is wonderful. Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread. Having a chat going also means you have a space to share your updates throughout the day, a reminder that you’re part of something.
Some researchers call this “ambient(周围的) virtual presence”: Even when you’re alone, you’re not alone. One researcher compares this phenomenon to echolocation(回声定位), the process that some animals, such as bats and dolphins, use to locate objects: They produce a continuous sound and use the resulting echo to sense their surroundings. Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
But taking in too many signals can be overwhelming. Professor Bayer argued that group chats can create a “waterfall type of effect”, where messages keep flooding in and adding up. Eventually, you’re underwater. Another researcher suggested that different chat members all bring their own personalities, communication styles, and expectations for group norms. Without a standard etiquette (礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.
Grext anxiety is hard to resolve because it isn’t just about the group-chat or even mobile technology in general; it’s about the tension between being our own person and being responsible to others. Ultimately, most of us do want connection, even if it involves some duties.

Last summer, on her way to work in Minneapolis, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She 1 down her window, shouting, “Do you want a 2 haircut right now?”
Getting a yes, she pulled off the road, took a red chair from her car, and helped the man cut his hair. After Steller was 3 , the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he laughed.
To date, Steller has given such haircuts to people all living on the margins (边缘) around the city, and she is keenly aware of the 4 of her cleanup job.
A haircut changed Steller’s life: As a teen, with a severe disease, her hair got thinned. So, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut, where she felt 5 when talked to like a person. After that, Steller knew how to help people feel the way she’d felt that day. “I want it to be a gateway, to show 6 , but also to get to know people.”
In 2009, she began Red Chair Project, 7 out to people on the streets. What breaks Steller’s heart is just how lonely people look, so she listens to their stories of loss and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention 8 works.
And it all began with a 9 in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller, “I can’t fix people’s problems, but maybe I can help them feel less 10 for a moment.”

This Tiny Box Will Help You Relax in Terrible Summer Heat!
Traditional Air Conditioners (AC) are outdated. They cost a lot to install and even more to run. They are huge, noisy, and dangerous to clean. You can’t move them around the house with you or take them outside! Thousands of people are now using a much cheaper alternative to cool themselves in the heat and clean their personal air. With over a million units sold worldwide, this device is becoming one of the most successful gadgets of 2019. EVERYONE wants this awesome looking box for summer!What Are We Talking About?
Meet the new AirFreez, an innovative alliterative to AC that cools you just the same! It’s a perfect solution for those very hot days and nights! The AirFreez was designed by two Swiss engineers who were fed up suffering the hot summers. They realized that AC units are super inefficient and cost a lot of money to use. The engineers also discovered that none of the traditional AC units were made to travel with.
So, they designed this light-weight, portable Air Cooling box. It uses a very small amount of electricity and all without sacrificing any of the main benefits of a top AC model! It’s tiny, easy to use and it can cool you in seconds!What Is So Special About This Little Box?

B
I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water.
Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal.
As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped.
Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause.
A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again.
24.Elise was nervous because ______.
A.she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B.she was worrying about her rough voice
C.she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D.she had to face a large audience in the hall
25.When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______.
A.lost herself in the beautiful music B.tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound
C.felt something wrong with the stage lights D.counted the beats of the song alongside him
26.What does the story mainly tell us?
A.Teamwork turns the impossible into reality.
B.Continuous hard work will eventually pay off.
C.Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence.
D.True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures.
【答案】24.D 25.B 26.C
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去民族音乐会上表演,因为紧张发不出声音,多亏了母亲的支持让作者完成了演出。
24.细节理解题。根据第三段“As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face.(当我们走上舞台时,我能感觉到有一千双锐利的眼睛盯着我)”可知,伊莉斯很紧张,因为她要面对大厅里的一大群观众。故选D。
25.细节理解题。根据第三段“When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me.(音乐响起时,我僵住了。我张开嘴,但没有发出声音。伊桑看着我,放慢了钢琴的节拍)”可知,伊桑开始弹钢琴时,艾利斯试着唱,但唱不出声音来。故选B。
26.主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear.(然后,我和妈妈对视了一下。即使在远处,我也能感觉到她温柔地用嘴对我说着歌词,就像每当我忘记歌词时她总是做的那样:“伊莉斯,你能行的。”我深吸了一口气,声音终于发出来了,有力而清晰)”结合文章主要讲述了作者去民族音乐会上表演,因为紧张发不出声音,多亏了母亲的支持让作者完成了演出。可知,这个故事主要告诉我们来自亲人的支持照亮了通往自信的道路。故选C。
C
When I was a kid, my summer sport of choice was baseball. Every day I played until it was too dark to see the ball. It was about fun and not fitness. But now that I’m older, and my baseball glove has been officially retired, I need a summertime sport that brings back the playfulness of my youth, but also works to keep my physical and mental skills sharp.
So, I picked up a racket (球拍).
It turns out that racket sports are not only fun, but they may help me live longer. A study published online by the British Journal of Sports Medicine examined the connections between six different types of exercise and the risk of early death. Researchers looked at racket sports, swimming, aerobics, cycling, running, and soccer. Study volunteers included 80,306 people, who ranged in age from 30 to 98. Over the course of the study’s nine years, those who regularly played racket sports were 47% less likely to die of any cause and 56% less likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
“In many ways, racket sports like tennis, badminton, table tennis, and other variations are the ideal exercise for many older adults,” says Daryanani, a physical therapist and personal trainer with Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Outpatient Center. “Besides offering a good cardiovascular workout, they can help with both upper-and lower-body strength at the same time. They can be played at any age, can be adapted to fit most fitness levels, and do not involve a lot of equipment.”
Racket sports offer something other fitness sports do not - lateral (横向的) movement. “Most of our lives are spent moving forward, and that includes our exercise,” says Daryanani. “Racket sports force you to move both back and forth and side to side. This helps improve balance, which can lower your risk of falls.” This kind of activity also exercises your mind. It sharpens your planning and decision-making skills, as you must always be ready for and make your next shot.
Racket sports also have something to do with social relationships. You play against other people - either by yourself or part of a doubles team - while other exercises like running, swimming, and cycling are more individual (个人的) sports. Frequent social contact is important for a long and healthy life. In fact, a 2021 study found that loneliness led to physical and mental illness and an increased risk of death among adults older than age 60.
So, go ahead, pick up a racket and enjoy the benefits of having good health.
27.Why does the author mention his personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A.To stress how fun it was to play baseball.
B.To highlight the benefits of playing sports.
C.To show how his sport preferences had changed.
D.To present the reasons for starting racket sports.
28.The study in Paragraph 3 shows ________.
A.doing exercise is popular among adults
B.different types of exercise are connected
C.people choose different sports as they age
D.racket sports may help to prevent early death
29.Paragraph 6 mainly talks about ________.
A.why loneliness is bad for human beings
B.why racket sports are socially good for people
C.the important findings of physical and mental illness
D.the comparison between racket sports and other fitness sports
30.What can we learn about racket sports?
A.They benefit people mentally rather than physically.
B.They reduce the risk of falls as lateral movement is involved.
C.They’re better than individual sports because they help improve balance.
D.They’re suitable for young people because whole-body strength is required.
【答案】27.D 28.D 29.B 30.B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了球拍运动的好处,包括有助于延长寿命、锻炼身心以及促进社交关系等。
27.推理判断题。根据第一段“But now that I’m older, and my baseball glove has been officially retired, I need a summertime sport that brings back the playfulness of my youth, but also works to keep my physical and mental skills sharp. (但现在我年纪大了,我的棒球手套也正式退役了,我需要一项夏季运动,既能找回我年轻时的乐趣,又能锻炼我的身心技能。)”可知,作者在第一段提到他的个人经历是为了阐述开始球拍运动的原因,也就是现在的他需要一项既能找回年轻时的乐趣又能锻炼身心的运动。故选D。
28.细节理解题。根据第三段“Over the course of the study’s nine years, those who regularly played racket sports were 47% less likely to die of any cause and 56% less likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. (在这项为期九年的研究中,经常打球拍运动的人因任何原因死亡的可能性降低了47%,因心血管疾病死亡的可能性降低了56%。)”可知,第三段的研究表明球拍运动可能有助于预防早逝。故选D。
29.主旨大意题。根据第六段“Racket sports also have something to do with social relationships. You play against other people - either by yourself or part of a doubles team - while other exercises like running, swimming, and cycling are more individual (个人的) sports. Frequent social contact is important for a long and healthy life. (球拍运动也与社交关系有关。你要么一个人,要么作为双打团队的一员,与其他人对抗,而其他运动,如跑步、游泳和骑自行车,则更多是个人运动。频繁的社交接触对长寿和健康生活很重要。)”可知,第六段主要讲述了为什么球拍运动在社交上对人有益。故选B。
30.细节理解题。根据第五段“Racket sports force you to move both back and forth and side to side. This helps improve balance, which can lower your risk of falls. (球拍运动迫使你前后左右移动。这有助于改善平衡,从而降低摔倒风险。)”可知,关于球拍运动,我们能了解到由于涉及横向运动,它们降低了摔倒的风险。故选B。
D
Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous (匿名的) process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain, said Don Conlon, Professor of Management in MSU’s Broad College of Business.
But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and, when they were successful, worried they overpaid. Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle. “Americans are very busy, and it’s less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer,” Conlon said. “People tend to be happier when they’re in the receiver role.”
Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next four years, from $226 billion this year to $327 billion in 2017, according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, research into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those of shoppers. Conlon’s study is, obviously, a rare exception.
Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, priceline.com, which takes bids, and hotwire.com, which provides offers. Using these two models, Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said, but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further, when they had to make the bids, they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
From an industry perspective, putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you're a business with a lot of product,” Conlon said, “you may want to be the one making the offers.” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car, accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.
31.What can we learn from Para.1?
A.The result of the study gives customers more confidence.
B.Scholars aren’t surprised at the findings of the study.
C.Online shoppers don’t bargain as much as expected.
D.E-commerce industry drives more hard bargains.
32.It can be concluded from Conlon’s experiments that _______.
A.online shopping is time-consuming
B.given prices can promote online sales
C.online businesses provide a lot of products
D.receiving offers makes online shoppers regretful
33.The underlined word “taxed” in Para.4 probably means _______.
A.burdened B.numbed C.relieved D.challenged
34.The passage is mainly about_______.
A.the big advantages of online shopping
B.the rapid development of online shopping
C.online shoppers’ preference for taking offers
D.online companies’ strategies to improve service
【答案】31.C 32.B 33.A 34.C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了网络购物者更愿意收到产品或服务的报价,而不是自己报价。研究人员指出:顾客以接受者的角度给出价格时反而可以帮助促进网络销售。
31.细节理解题。第一段提到“Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. ”(密歇根州立大学(Michigan State University)的一位学者领导的一项研究表明,网上购物者更愿意收到产品或服务的报价,而不是自己报价。)可知,人们更愿意直接接受价格,网上购物的人并不像预料的那样讨价还价。故选C。
32.推理判断题。最后一段提到“However, when selling single items, such as an antique car, accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.”(然而,当出售单件物品时,比如一辆古董车,接受出价可能是一个更好的选择,因为这通常会推高价格,他说。)可知,如果你拥有的货物很多,你可以做提出价格的人,这样可以促成更多成交;如果只是购买某一样价值很高的物品时,作为顾客接受价格也可以避免后续抬高价格。由此判断,根据此实验可以得出,在网络购物方面,给定好的价格可以促进更多的成交。故选B。
33.词义猜测题。第四段最后两句提到“Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said, but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. ”(Conlon说,参与者不仅更愿意接受投标,而且他们也以接收方的身份获得了更多的交易。)由此判断,参与调查的人员更愿意接受报价以促成成交。该段最后一句提到“Further, when they had to make the bids, they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.”(此外,当他们不得不出价时,他们……,也更后悔。)regretful意为“后悔的”,根据and可知,前后两词应该并列关系,划线词表示的意思应相近。A. burdened有负担的;B. numbed麻木的;C. relieved放心的;D. challenged有挑战的。A项与regretful意思相近,符合文意。故选A。
34.主旨大意题。第一段第一句提到“Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry.”(密歇根州立大学 (Michigan State University) 的一位学者领导的一项研究表明,网上购物者更愿意收到产品或服务的报价,而不是自己报价。这项研究对快速增长的电子商务行业有影响。)密歇根州立大学的一项研究表示,购物者更愿意接受产品的报价以促成成交,而不是需要自己提供价格。后文中又提到了一项850人参加的研究调查,表明如果有价格给购物者提供,那么交易量会增加,反之,如果需要购物者自己给价的话,会造成购物者精神负担更重,并容易后悔。由此判断,本文主要讲述了网上购物者更愿意接受报价来促成成交。故选C。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分,共 10 分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Animals have their own unique ways of communicating, which play an important role in their survival and social interactions. The communication signals are various and have developed over countless generations, finely adjusted to meet their specific needs. 35
One common form of animal communication is through vocalizations. Birds are masters of this. For example, the melodious songs of nightingales aren’t just for our enjoyment. Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away. 36 The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.
37 Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.
Chemical signals, often in the form of pheromones (信息素), are widely used too. Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources. 38 Female moths can detect the pheromones of male moths from miles away, enabling them to find each other for mating.
Some animals even use visual displays. Peacocks (孔雀) spread their beautiful tails in a dazzling fan. This isn’t just for show; it’s a way to attract peahens during the breeding season. 39 The more brilliant the display is, the more likely they are to catch a female’s eye and pass on their genes.
In conclusion, the animal kingdom’s communication systems are a wonder of nature. Understanding these communication methods gives us a fascinating peek into the animal kingdom’s hidden social lives.
A.People recognize the signals suggesting changes.
B.It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.
C.A wagging tail can mean friendliness or excitement.
D.And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.
E.Body language is also an important way to communicate.
F.The bright colors and patterns show good health and genetic quality.
G.By understanding these signals, we can appreciate the animal world more easily.
【答案】35.G 36.D 37.E 38.B 39.F
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了动物的交流方式。
35.根据上文“The communication signals are various and have developed over countless generations, finely adjusted to meet their specific needs.(交流信号是多种多样的,经过无数代的发展,经过精细调整以满足它们的特定需求)”可知,前文提到动物有独特的交流方式,交流信号多样且经过无数代发展,适应它们的特定需求。G选项By understanding these signals, we can appreciate the animal world more easily.(通过理解这些信号,我们可以更容易地欣赏动物世界)承接上文,说明理解这些信号的意义,符合语境。故选G项。
36.根据上文“For example, the melodious songs of nightingales aren’t just for our enjoyment. Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away.(例如,夜莺的悠扬歌声不仅仅是为了我们的享受。雄鸟用歌声来标记自己的领地,警告其他雄鸟远离)”以及下文“The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.(歌声越有力,雌性越有可能交配)”可知,前文说夜莺的歌声不仅仅是为了让我们欣赏,雄性夜莺唱歌是为了标记领地,警告其他雄性远离。后文说歌声越有力,雌性就越有可能与之交配。D选项And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.(另一个目的是吸引雌性的注意)起到承上启下的作用,说明雄性夜莺唱歌的另一个目的。故选D项。
37.根据下文“Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.(狼使用复杂的身体姿势系统。当狼把尾巴高高竖起时,它显示了它在群体中的力量。相反,一个放松的,松散地摇尾巴表示友好的心情。另一方面,顺从的狼会降低它们的身体,收起它们的尾巴,避免直接的目光接触,传达它们没有威胁的状态)”可知,后文举例说明狼使用复杂的身体姿势系统来交流,如尾巴高高竖起且僵硬表示在群体中的权力,尾巴放松、轻轻摆动表示友好情绪等。E选项Body language is also an important way to communicate.(肢体语言也是一种重要的交流方式)引出下文关于狼通过肢体语言交流的内容。故选E项。
38.根据上文“Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources.(蚂蚁在寻找食物的过程中释放信息素)”可知,前文说蚂蚁会沿途释放信息素,引导同伴找到食物来源。B选项It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.(它就像一张地图,引导它们找到目的地)把信息素比作地图,形象地说明了信息素对蚂蚁找到食物来源的引导作用,符合语境。故选B项。
39.根据上文“This isn’t just for show; it’s a way to attract peahens during the breeding season.(这不仅仅是为了展示;这是在繁殖季节吸引雌孔雀的一种方式)”以及下文“The more brilliant the display is, the more likely they are to catch a female’s eye and pass on their genes.(展示得越耀眼,就越有可能吸引到雌性的目光,并将它们的基因传递下去)”可知,前文说孔雀在繁殖季节展开美丽的尾巴,这不仅仅是为了展示,而是一种吸引雌孔雀的方式。后文说展示得越耀眼,就越有可能吸引雌孔雀的注意,并传递它们的基因。F选项 The bright colors and patterns show good health and genetic quality.(鲜艳的颜色和图案显示出良好的健康状况和遗传素质)解释了孔雀尾巴展示的意义,即其鲜艳的颜色和图案所代表的含义,起到承上启下的作用。故选F项。
第三部分 书面表达(共两节,32 分)
第一节 (共 4 小题; 第 40、41 题各 2 分, 第 42 题 3 分, 第 43 题 5 分, 共 12 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
Group-Chat Culture Is Out of Control
For better or worse, we might be in the Age of the Group Chat. In a recent survey, most people said they felt stressed out by group messages, which can feel like a part-time job.
Connection is wonderful. Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread. Having a chat going also means you have a space to share your updates throughout the day, a reminder that you’re part of something.
Some researchers call this “ambient(周围的) virtual presence”: Even when you’re alone, you’re not alone. One researcher compares this phenomenon to echolocation(回声定位), the process that some animals, such as bats and dolphins, use to locate objects: They produce a continuous sound and use the resulting echo to sense their surroundings. Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
But taking in too many signals can be overwhelming. Professor Bayer argued that group chats can create a “waterfall type of effect”, where messages keep flooding in and adding up. Eventually, you’re underwater. Another researcher suggested that different chat members all bring their own personalities, communication styles, and expectations for group norms. Without a standard etiquette (礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.
Grext anxiety is hard to resolve because it isn’t just about the group-chat or even mobile technology in general; it’s about the tension between being our own person and being responsible to others. Ultimately, most of us do want connection, even if it involves some duties.
40.What is the feature of Grexts?
41.How might humans use group chats like echolocation?
42.Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
▶Without a standard etiquette, people have different ideas about what messages should be answered.
43.Please describe how another mobile technology affects your relationship with others. (In about 40 words)
【答案】
40.Imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue.
41. Humans might use group chats as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
42.▶Without a standard etiquette, people have different ideas about what messages should be answered.
Without a standard etiquette, people have different ideas about what degree of responsiveness is required. 43.(1) The music apps on my smart phone have a positive influence on friendship. Thanks to the sharing functions, I have been able to get to know people who have the same taste of music and we can even listen to our favorite pieces at the same time.
(2) Video games have become a challenge to my relationships with friends. Sometimes I have to reluctantly play with them as a team even when I am busy. In addition, the disagreement and complaints when we are playing the game also potentially harm friendship.
【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了群聊文化已经失控。
40.考查细节理解题。根据第二段“Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread.”(Grexts是群组文本的缩写,具有模仿随意的对话的特点,其结果可能比两个人的对话更有活力、更有趣)可知,Grexts的特点是具有模仿随意的对话。故填Imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue.
41.考查细节理解题。根据第二段“Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.”(人类可能以类似的方式使用群聊等技术ーー作为一种呼叫和回应,获取有关其社交网络的信息,并将自己定位在这些网络中。)可知,人类可能会把群聊作为一种电话和回应,获取有关他们社交网络的信息,并在这些网络中定位自己。故填Humans might use group chats as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
42.考查细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Without a standard etiquette (礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.”(如果没有标准的礼仪,人们对需要多大程度的回应有不同的看法——这可能会导致真正的紧张。)可知,what messages should be answered错误,应改为如果没有标准的礼仪,人们对需要多大程度的回应有不同的看法——这可能会导致真正的紧张。故填Without a standard etiquette, people have different ideas about what degree of responsiveness is required.
43.考查开放性试题。请描述另一种移动技术如何影响你与他人的关系。故可回答为:我智能手机上的音乐应用程序对友谊有积极的影响。由于分享功能,我可以认识有相同音乐品味的人,我们甚至可以同时听我们最喜欢的作品。也可回答为:电子游戏已经成为我与朋友关系的挑战。有时即使我很忙,我也不得不不情愿地和他们一起玩。此外,我们在玩游戏时的分歧和抱怨也可能损害友谊。故填(1) The music apps on my smart phone have a positive influence on friendship. Thanks to the sharing functions, I have been able to get to know people who have the same taste of music and we can even listen to our favorite pieces at the same time.(2) Video games have become a challenge to my relationships with friends. Sometimes I have to reluctantly play with them as a team even when I am busy. In addition, the disagreement and complaints when we are playing the game also potentially harm friendship.

Last summer, on her way to work in Minneapolis, Katie Steller stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She 1 down her window, shouting, “Do you want a 2 haircut right now?”
Getting a yes, she pulled off the road, took a red chair from her car, and helped the man cut his hair. After Steller was 3 , the man looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he laughed.
To date, Steller has given such haircuts to people all living on the margins (边缘) around the city, and she is keenly aware of the 4 of her cleanup job.
A haircut changed Steller’s life: As a teen, with a severe disease, her hair got thinned. So, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut, where she felt 5 when talked to like a person. After that, Steller knew how to help people feel the way she’d felt that day. “I want it to be a gateway, to show 6 , but also to get to know people.”
In 2009, she began Red Chair Project, 7 out to people on the streets. What breaks Steller’s heart is just how lonely people look, so she listens to their stories of loss and struggle to get back on their feet. The attention 8 works.
And it all began with a 9 in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” says Steller, “I can’t fix people’s problems, but maybe I can help them feel less 10 for a moment.”

This Tiny Box Will Help You Relax in Terrible Summer Heat!
Traditional Air Conditioners (AC) are outdated. They cost a lot to install and even more to run. They are huge, noisy, and dangerous to clean.

I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water.
Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal.
As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped.
Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause.
A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again.
24.Elise was nervous because ______.
A.she didn’t practice enough with Ethan
B.she was worrying about her rough voice
C.she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan
D.she had to face a large audience in the hall
25.When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______.
A.lost herself in the beautiful music B.tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound
C.felt something wrong with the stage lights D.counted the beats of the song alongside him
26.What does the story mainly tell us?
A.Teamwork turns the impossible into reality.
B.Continuous hard work will eventually pay off.
C.Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence.
D.True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures.
C
When I was a kid, my summer sport of choice was baseball. Every day I played until it was too dark to see the ball. It was about fun and not fitness. But now that I’m older, and my baseball glove has been officially retired, I need a summertime sport that brings back the playfulness of my youth, but also works to keep my physical and mental skills sharp.
So, I picked up a racket (球拍).
It turns out that racket sports are not only fun, but they may help me live longer. A study published online by the British Journal of Sports Medicine examined the connections between six different types of exercise and the risk of early death. Researchers looked at racket sports, swimming, aerobics, cycling, running, and soccer. Study volunteers included 80,306 people, who ranged in age from 30 to 98. Over the course of the study’s nine years, those who regularly played racket sports were 47% less likely to die of any cause and 56% less likely to die of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease.
“In many ways, racket sports like tennis, badminton, table tennis, and other variations are the ideal exercise for many older adults,” says Daryanani, a physical therapist and personal trainer with Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Outpatient Center. “Besides offering a good cardiovascular workout, they can help with both upper-and lower-body strength at the same time. They can be played at any age, can be adapted to fit most fitness levels, and do not involve a lot of equipment.”
Racket sports offer something other fitness sports do not - lateral (横向的) movement. “Most of our lives are spent moving forward, and that includes our exercise,” says Daryanani. “Racket sports force you to move both back and forth and side to side. This helps improve balance, which can lower your risk of falls.” This kind of activity also exercises your mind. It sharpens your planning and decision-making skills, as you must always be ready for and make your next shot.
Racket sports also have something to do with social relationships. You play against other people - either by yourself or part of a doubles team - while other exercises like running, swimming, and cycling are more individual (个人的) sports. Frequent social contact is important for a long and healthy life. In fact, a 2021 study found that loneliness led to physical and mental illness and an increased risk of death among adults older than age 60.
So, go ahead, pick up a racket and enjoy the benefits of having good health.
27.Why does the author mention his personal experience in Paragraph 1?
A.To stress how fun it was to play baseball.
B.To highlight the benefits of playing sports.
C.To show how his sport preferences had changed.
D.To present the reasons for starting racket sports.
28.The study in Paragraph 3 shows ________.
A.doing exercise is popular among adults
B.different types of exercise are connected
C.people choose different sports as they age
D.racket sports may help to prevent early death
29.Paragraph 6 mainly talks about ________.
A.why loneliness is bad for human beings
B.why racket sports are socially good for people
C.the important findings of physical and mental illness
D.the comparison between racket sports and other fitness sports
30.What can we learn about racket sports?
A.They benefit people mentally rather than physically.
B.They reduce the risk of falls as lateral movement is involved.
C.They’re better than individual sports because they help improve balance.
D.They’re suitable for young people because whole-body strength is required.
D
Online shoppers would rather receive an offer for a product or service than make their own offer, according to a study led by a Michigan State University scholar that has implications for the fast-growing e-commerce industry. The findings may come as a surprise given that shopping online is an anonymous (匿名的) process that seemingly can give consumers more confidence to drive a hard bargain, said Don Conlon, Professor of Management in MSU’s Broad College of Business.
But the study found that participants who made their own offers were less successful in sealing the deal and, when they were successful, worried they overpaid. Many shoppers found the process of researching an offer to be a hassle. “Americans are very busy, and it’s less time-consuming to be the one receiving the offer rather than the one proposing the offer,” Conlon said. “People tend to be happier when they’re in the receiver role.”
Online spending in the United States is expected to jump 45 percent in the next four years, from $226 billion this year to $327 billion in 2017, according to Forrester Research Inc. Nevertheless, researches into this prosperous market remain largely focused on the strategies of companies, rather than those of shoppers. Conlon’s study is, obviously, a rare exception.
Conlon got the idea for the study after considering the difference between two popular sites for hotels and airline flights, priceline.com, which takes bids, and hotwire.com, which provides offers. Using these two models, Conlon and his fellow researchers conducted a series of experiments with more than 850 people who were charged with booking a fictional hotel room and acquiring a fictional antique car. Not only did participants prefer to receive bids, Conlon said, but they also secured more deals in that receiver role. Further, when they had to make the bids, they were left more mentally taxed and regretful.
From an industry perspective, putting customers in the receiver role may help fill more hotel rooms and airplane seats. “If you're a business with a lot of product,” Conlon said, “you may want to be the one making the offers.” However, when selling single items, such as an antique car, accepting bids may be a better option since that typically drives up the price, he said.

Animals have their own unique ways of communicating, which play an important role in their survival and social interactions. The communication signals are various and have developed over countless generations, finely adjusted to meet their specific needs. 35
One common form of animal communication is through vocalizations. Birds are masters of this. For example, the melodious songs of nightingales aren’t just for our enjoyment. Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away. 36 The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.
37 Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.
Chemical signals, often in the form of pheromones (信息素), are widely used too. Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources. 38 Female moths can detect the pheromones of male moths from miles away, enabling them to find each other for mating.
Some animals even use visual displays. Peacocks (孔雀) spread their beautiful tails in a dazzling fan. This isn’t just for show; it’s a way to attract peahens during the breeding season. 39 The more brilliant the display is, the more likely they are to catch a female’s eye and pass on their genes.
In conclusion, the animal kingdom’s communication systems are a wonder of nature. Understanding these communication methods gives us a fascinating peek into the animal kingdom’s hidden social lives.
A.People recognize the signals suggesting changes.
B.It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.
C.A wagging tail can mean friendliness or excitement.
D.And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.
E.Body language is also an important way to communicate.
F.The bright colors and patterns show good health and genetic quality.
G.By understanding these signals, we can appreciate the animal world more easily.

Group-Chat Culture Is Out of Control
For better or worse, we might be in the Age of the Group Chat. In a recent survey, most people said they felt stressed out by group messages, which can feel like a part-time job.
Connection is wonderful. Grexts, short for group texts, have the feature of imitating the casual back-and-forth of a dialogue, and the result can be more dynamic and fun than a two-person thread. Having a chat going also means you have a space to share your updates throughout the day, a reminder that you’re part of something.
Some researchers call this “ambient(周围的) virtual presence”: Even when you’re alone, you’re not alone. One researcher compares this phenomenon to echolocation(回声定位), the process that some animals, such as bats and dolphins, use to locate objects: They produce a continuous sound and use the resulting echo to sense their surroundings. Humans might use technologies such as group chats in a similar way—as a call-and-response, taking in information about their social networks and locating themselves within those webs.
But taking in too many signals can be overwhelming. Professor Bayer argued that group chats can create a “waterfall type of effect”, where messages keep flooding in and adding up. Eventually, you’re underwater. Another researcher suggested that different chat members all bring their own personalities, communication styles, and expectations for group norms. Without a standard etiquette (礼仪), people have varied opinions about what degree of responsiveness is required—which can cause real tension.
Grext anxiety is hard to resolve because it isn’t just about the group-chat or even mobile technology in general; it’s about the tension between being our own person and being responsible to others. Ultimately, most of us do want connection, even if it involves some duties.
