A 【解析】 【原文】After graduating from high school, many students are faced with a choice. Those that can afford to go to college choose between going straight to college or taking a year off first. Taking a year off before college is very popular in Europe and Australia, with most students working and traveling during their free year. In Europe, it is called a gap year and it is an expectation for most students. They travel or work on their own and it helps them prepare for life after university. It is more difficult to do in America as many colleges do not allow students to wait a year before going. Many American students are afraid that they won’t be able to get into college if they don’t go right after high school without the experience of traveling and working. American students don’t know much about the world. They haven’t had a chance to live on their own and understand adult responsibilities. They can’t drink alcohol until they are 21 while in Europe the legal drinking age is eighteen. American students are less prepared for college and life in general than many of their peers in Europe. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A STINSON BEACH CLEAN-UP PROJECT Help us keep Stinson Beach clean this summer!

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit. 24. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest? A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees. C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize. 25. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A bee. B. A bird. C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper. 26. The honey guide is special in the way ________. A. it gets its food B. it goes to church C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees’ nests 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wild Bees. B. Wax and Honey. C. Beekeeping in Africa. D. Honey-Lover’s Helper. 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. A 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种奇特的鸟。虽然寻找野蜜蜂的巢很难，但在非洲的部分地区，寻找蜂蜜的人和动物有一种奇怪而意想不到的帮手——一种被称为“蜂蜜向导”的小鸟。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.(然而，他们得到蜂蜜的唯一方法就是找到一个野蜜蜂的巢，然后从里面取蜂蜜。通常，这些巢穴都在高高的树上，很难找到它们)”可知，野蜜蜂的巢都在很高的树上，不易被人找到。故选B项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段末“In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.(然而，在非洲的部分地区，寻找蜂蜜的人和动物有一种奇怪而意想不到的帮手——一种被称为“蜂蜜向导”的小鸟)”及划线词前“So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.(所以，当它找到一个合适的巢穴时，它会寻找别人来帮助它。蜂蜜向导发出一声响亮的叫声，吸引了路过的动物和人的注意。一旦引起了它们的注意，它就会飞过森林，时不时地等着这些好奇的动物或人把它们带到蜂巢那里)”和后面“reaches in to get at the delicious honey(伸手去够美味的蜂蜜)”可知，本段主要讲述寻找蜂蜜的人和动物如何通过这种鸟找到蜂巢的过程，小鸟找到蜂巢就会吸引人或动物跟着它，到了蜂巢那里，跟着它的人或动物去把蜂蜜拿出来。由此推测，the follower指的是寻找蜂蜜的人或动物。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段末“In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.(然而，在非洲的部分地区，寻找蜂蜜的人和动物有一种奇怪而意想不到的帮手——一种被称为“蜂蜜向导”的小鸟)”中的形容词strange and unexpected可知，这种鸟很奇特，结合第二段内容可推测，这种鸟的奇特之处是它找到食物的方法很特别，找到蜂巢，去找人类或其他动物来吃蜂蜜，它捡拾掉落的蜂蜡吃。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段末“In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.(然而，在非洲的部分地区，寻找蜂蜜的人和动物有一种奇怪而意想不到的帮手——一种被称为“蜂蜜向导”的小鸟)”并综合全文可知，本文主要介绍这种奇怪的小鸟，它可以帮助想吃蜂蜜的人或动物找到野蜂巢。故选D项。 C In today’s fast-paced world, studying for long hours without a break has become a norm for many students. However, this approach often leads to burnout, reduced concentration, and lower recollection rates. Studies have shown that taking regular studybreaks is a key strategy for maintaining mental clarity, boosting productivity, and improving overall learning effectiveness. Michelle Connolly, an educational consultant said, “Taking breaks during study sessions isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for both cerebral (大脑的) recovery and emotional well-being.” It’s about creating a harmonious blend that respects your mental boundaries while pushing the limits of your academic performance. Striking a balance is critical for peak cognitive performance and overall well-being, Integrating effective rest periods strategically into your study sessions can enhance your ability to learn and remember information. Cognitive performance benefits significantly from breaks. Breaks help ease mental exhaustion that accumulates during prolonged study. You might notice after long periods of intense focus, your concentration starts to fade. This is because of cognitive load, a concept in cognitive science suggesting your brain has a limited capacity for information processing. When you take a break, you essentially allow your brain to “cool off” and reduce this load, thereby restoring your ability to concentrate and maintain focus during study. Attention Restoration Theory underlines the value of breaks, especially those involving nature or relaxation, to rejuvenate (恢复) your capacity for concentration. Likewise, the Conservation of Resources Theory suggests that by conserving mental resources through regular breaks, you can better manage stress and avoid burnout. One of the most popular methods is the Pomodoro Technique, which suggests studying for 25 minutes and taking a 5-minute break. After four cycles, you take a longer break, typically 15-30 minutes. This technique leverages the brain’s natural rhythms to keep it fresh and focused. By understanding the science behind studybreaks and using strategies like the Pomodoro Technique, you can optimize your study sessions and maintain a balanced approach to learning. Remember, productivity isn’t just about working harder; it’s about working smarter — and studybreaks are a key part of that equation. 28. What is Michelle’s attitude toward putting breaks into study sessions? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral. 29. In what way do breaks contribute to cognitive performance? A. By removing mental exhaustion. B. By preventing cerebral focus resetting. C. By maximizing the brain’s capacity. D. By cutting down cognitive load. 30. Why are the different theories mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To present that different theories may contradict each other. B. To show the historical development of break-related theories. C. To emphasize the importance of physical exercise in study. D. To provide the theoretical support for the benefits of breaks. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should prioritize working harder over taking breaks. B. Regular breaks alone are enough to achieve the best academic results. C. True productivity combines scientific basis with practical strategies. D. More focus should be placed on short-term goals by students. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. D 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了学习中休息的重要性及相关科学原理和策略。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段Michelle Connolly的话“Taking breaks during study sessions isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for both cerebral (大脑的) recovery and emotional well-being.(在学习期间适当休息并非是一种奢侈的行为；它对于大脑的恢复和情绪的健康而言都是必不可少的)”可知，Michelle认为在学习期间休息不是奢侈，而是大脑恢复和情感健康所必需的。由此可推知，她对在学习中加入休息持赞成的态度。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段的“This is because of cognitive load, a concept in cognitive science suggesting your brain has a limited capacity for information processing. When you take a break, you essentially allow your brain to ‘cool off’ and reduce this load, thereby restoring your ability to concentrate and maintain focus during study.(这是因为认知负荷，认知科学中的一个概念表明你的大脑处理信息的能力有限。当你休息的时候，从本质上来说，你是让大脑“冷静下来”，减轻这种负担，从而恢复你在学习时集中注意力并保持专注的能力)”可知，休息可以让大脑“冷却”并减少认知负荷，从而恢复你在学习期间集中注意力和保持专注的能力。因此，休息通过减少认知负荷来提高认知表现。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“Attention Restoration Theory underlines the value of breaks, especially those involving nature or relaxation, to rejuvenate (恢复) your capacity for concentration. Likewise, the Conservation of Resources Theory suggests that by conserving mental resources through regular breaks, you can better manage stress and avoid burnout.(注意力恢复理论强调了休息的价值，尤其是那些与亲近自然或放松身心有关的休息方式，它们有助于恢复你的注意力。同样，资源保存理论表明，通过定期休息来保存精神资源，你能够更好地应对压力，避免精力耗尽)”可知，两个理论都强调了休息的重要性，特别是那些涉及自然或放松的休息，可以恢复你的注意力集中能力，并通过定期休息来保存精神资源，从而更好地管理压力和避免倦怠。由此可推知，提到这些理论是为了为休息的好处提供理论支持。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。 根据最后一段的“By understanding the science behind studybreaks and using strategies like the Pomodoro Technique, you can optimize your study sessions and maintain a balanced approach to learning.(通过了解学习间隙休息背后的科学原理，并运用像番茄工作法这样的策略，你可以优化自己的学习时段安排，并且保持一种平衡的学习方式)”可知，作者认为通过了解学习间隙背后的科学原理，并使用像番茄工作法这样的策略，可以优化学习并保持一种平衡的学习方法。由此可推知，作者暗示真正的生产力结合了科学基础和实际策略。故选C。 D When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing” the false claim with positive counter(反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy. The classic response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually contradicts the misinformation.” Suppose, for example, that your dad passes back the roast potatoes over a family dinner, saying, “Are these GMOs (转基因产品)? Nah, don’t want any more physical reactions.” You might then say, “Actually, the health bodies of all the G7 agree that GMOs do not cause reactions.” But that likely won’t work. The APPC team conducted six experiments where they compared actually correcting someone with “bypassing” and found that using evidence and facts to disprove someone tends to be far less successful at changing attitudes. So, what is bypassing and why is it seemingly more effective? Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy. Bypassing means not meeting your misinformed opponent head-on. This is not a battle of arguments or the studies. You are pushing an argument into a different position. It’s using someone’s movements and logic against them. There are limitations to what the team at APPC has concluded. Their study into bypassing was largely about attitudes to policies, not about belief change or belief correction. Someone might still believe that 5G kills birds or that GMOs cause reactions, but admit that those are necessary bad things, compared to the positive outcomes you present them with. So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change. Changing someone’s belief is a complicated psychological topic, and there is definitely no one-size-fits-all strategy. When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit. 32. According to the APPC research, how does “bypassing” differ from traditional corrections? A. It uses stronger evidence. B. It adopts emotional appeals. C. It offers positive arguments. D. It focuses on unrelated topics. 33. Which can be used as an example of “bypassing”? A. GMOs are safe to eat because scientists say so. B. GMOs can produce higher output with less cost. C. 5G kill birds, but their benefits outweigh the risks. D. 5G doesn’t kill birds, for they show no connection. 34. What do we know about the “bypassing” tool according to the text? A. It is the most reliable way. B. It may help accept policies. C. It appears frequently in debates. D. It is effective in belief correction. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bypassing: A Better Way to Shift Attitudes? B. Changing one’s Mind: Bypass Indirectly! C. Challenging Misinformation: Bypass it! D. Negating the claim: does it work? 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了在面对错误信息时，传统的反驳方式可能不如“绕过”策略有效，并探讨了“绕过”策略的定义、有效性及其局限性。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The classic response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, ‘The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually contradicts the misinformation.’(对于传播错误信息的人，典型的回应是提供反证。正如安南伯格公共政策中心(APPC)的研究人员所说，‘处理错误信息的黄金标准通常是一种实际上与错误信息相矛盾的纠正’)”以及第三段中“Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic.(绕过错误信息是指，你不是对某个说法提出一些负面的反对意见，而是对这个话题提出积极的反论)”可知，APPC的研究中，“绕过”与传统纠正的区别在于它提供的是积极的论点。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy.(绕过错误信息是指，你不是对某个说法提出一些负面的反对意见，而是对这个话题提出积极的反论。例如，如果有人告诉你5G会杀死鸟，告诉他们5G为世界经济增加了数十亿美元)”可知，“绕过”策略的例子是提供与错误信息相关的积极论点。B选项“转基因作物能以较低的成本产生更高的产量”可以作为“绕过”的例子，因为它提供了关于转基因产品的积极论点，而不是直接反驳其安全性。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit.(当涉及到政策决策以及接受某种技术或药物的意愿时，‘绕过’似乎是一个值得添加到你的工具箱中的有价值工具)”可知，根据文章，“绕过”工具可能有助于接受政策。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, ‘bypassing’ the false claim with positive counter (反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy.(当有人提出虚假说法时，改变他们想法的最好方法是什么?最近的一篇论文表明，立即用证据否定这种说法并不是特别有效。相反，用关于这个话题的积极反论来‘绕过’虚假说法可能是一个更好的策略)”以及最后一段“So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change.(因此，绕过并不是唯一可用的工具，如果你担心的是信念的改变，它甚至可能不是最好的。)”可知，文章主要介绍了在处理虚假信息时，用积极的反论来“绕过”虚假说法可能比用证据直接否定更有效，并探讨了其与传统反驳方式的区别及其局限性。所以A选项“绕过：改变态度的更好方法？”能够概括文章主要内容，最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Managing Conflict with Humour Humour is a powerful tool. It brings people closer, managing conflict, and reducing tension. ____36____ Make sure you’re both in on the joke. Humour can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person. ____37____ When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual (相互), it can damage the relationship. Don’t use humour to cover up other emotions. Humour helps you face challenges in life. But there are times when humour is not healthy. For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions. ____38____ When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships. ____39____ Some find it easier than others to use humour, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humour. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously. After all, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. So, if you’re having a bad hair day, make a joke about it. Even if the joke falls flat, the only person you risk offending is yourself. Tap into (发掘) your playful side. ____40____ However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humour to manage conflict. The point isn’t to impress the other person, but simply to lighten the mood. Therefore, don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid. It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind. A. Stop humour if faced with trouble. B. Develop a smart sense of humour. C. It is easy to understand some jokes. D. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humour. E. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. F. Here’s how to use humour to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships. G. If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”. 【答案】36. F 37. G 38. E 39. B 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何运用幽默来解决冲突和加强人际关系。 【36题详解】 空前“Humour is a powerful tool. It brings people closer, managing conflict, and reducing tension.(幽默是一种强大的工具。它使人们更亲近，管理冲突，减少紧张)”说明了幽默可以管理冲突，减少紧张，空格处应该说要如何用幽默来处理冲突，F选项“Here’s how to use humour to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships.(下面是如何用幽默来解决分歧和加强你们的关系。)”说明了接下来要讲如何用幽默来处理分歧，承上启下，符合语境，故选F。 【37题详解】 空前“Make sure you’re both in on the joke. Humour can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person.(要确保对方能理解你的笑话。只有当双方都能理解笑话时，幽默才能帮助你化解冲突。因此，对他人保持敏感很重要)”说明了要确保对方能理解你的笑话，要对他人保持敏感，看看他们对你说的笑话是什么反应，G选项“If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”.(如果他或她不太可能欣赏这个笑话，不要说或做，即使这是“好玩的”。)”说明了如果对方不喜欢这个笑话，那就不要讲了，和上文的“对他人敏感”相承接，故选G。 【38题详解】 空前“For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions.(例如，有时它被用作避免痛苦情绪的掩护)”说明了幽默有时被用作避免痛苦情绪的掩护，空后“When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships.(当你这样做的时候，你会在你们的关系中制造混乱和不信任)”说明了如果像空格处所说的那么做，就会造成混乱，说明空格处所说的做法不好，E选项“You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny.(你可以拿事实开玩笑，但隐瞒事实就不好笑了。)”说明了隐瞒事实不好，承上启下，符合语境，故选E。 【39题详解】 空格处是本段主旨句，由空后“Some find it easier than others to use humour, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humour. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously. After all, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. So, if you’re having a bad hair day, make a joke about it. Even if the joke falls flat, the only person you risk offending is yourself.(对有些人来说，使用幽默比其他人更容易，尤其是在紧张的情况下。如果你的努力没有取得好效果，那就从使用自嘲式幽默开始。我们都喜欢那些不把自己太当回事的人。毕竟，没有人是完美的，我们都会犯错。所以，如果你今天发型很糟，那就开个玩笑吧。即使这个笑话效果平平，你唯一可能冒犯的人就是你自己)”可知，本段主要讲的是要培养幽默感，B选项“Develop a smart sense of humour.(培养聪明的幽默感。)”说明了要培养幽默感，概括了本段主要内容，可作为本段主旨句，故选B。 【40题详解】 空后“However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humour to manage conflict.(不过，重要的是要指出，你不需要成为一名喜剧演员才能用幽默来化解冲突)”中的However表转折，说明你可能会觉得自己讲的笑话不好，可能别人不会喜欢，D选项“It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humour.(在尝试幽默时害怕被拒绝是可以理解的。)”说明了在尝试使用幽默的时候害怕被拒绝是可以理解的，和空后的“你不需要成为一名喜剧演员才能用幽默来化解冲突”相呼应，因此符合语境，故选D。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The piano, ever since its creation, has had a great impact on the world’s music.

Those that can afford to go to college choose between going straight to college or taking a year off first. Taking a year off before college is very popular in europe and australia, with most students working and travelling during the three year in europe, IT is called a gap year, and IT is an expectation for most students.

B Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit. 24. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest? A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees. C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize. 25. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A bee. B. A bird. C. A honey seeker. D. A beekeeper. 26. The honey guide is special in the way ________. A. it gets its food B. it goes to church C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees’ nests 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wild Bees. B. Wax and Honey. C. Beekeeping in Africa. D. Honey-Lover’s Helper. C In today’s fast-paced world, studying for long hours without a break has become a norm for many students. However, this approach often leads to burnout, reduced concentration, and lower recollection rates. Studies have shown that taking regular studybreaks is a key strategy for maintaining mental clarity, boosting productivity, and improving overall learning effectiveness. Michelle Connolly, an educational consultant said, “Taking breaks during study sessions isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for both cerebral (大脑的) recovery and emotional well-being.” It’s about creating a harmonious blend that respects your mental boundaries while pushing the limits of your academic performance. Striking a balance is critical for peak cognitive performance and overall well-being, Integrating effective rest periods strategically into your study sessions can enhance your ability to learn and remember information. Cognitive performance benefits significantly from breaks. Breaks help ease mental exhaustion that accumulates during prolonged study. You might notice after long periods of intense focus, your concentration starts to fade. This is because of cognitive load, a concept in cognitive science suggesting your brain has a limited capacity for information processing. When you take a break, you essentially allow your brain to “cool off” and reduce this load, thereby restoring your ability to concentrate and maintain focus during study. Attention Restoration Theory underlines the value of breaks, especially those involving nature or relaxation, to rejuvenate (恢复) your capacity for concentration. Likewise, the Conservation of Resources Theory suggests that by conserving mental resources through regular breaks, you can better manage stress and avoid burnout. One of the most popular methods is the Pomodoro Technique, which suggests studying for 25 minutes and taking a 5-minute break. After four cycles, you take a longer break, typically 15-30 minutes. This technique leverages the brain’s natural rhythms to keep it fresh and focused. By understanding the science behind studybreaks and using strategies like the Pomodoro Technique, you can optimize your study sessions and maintain a balanced approach to learning. Remember, productivity isn’t just about working harder; it’s about working smarter — and studybreaks are a key part of that equation. 28. What is Michelle’s attitude toward putting breaks into study sessions? A. Approving. B. Indifferent. C. Skeptical. D. Neutral. 29. In what way do breaks contribute to cognitive performance? A. By removing mental exhaustion. B. By preventing cerebral focus resetting. C. By maximizing the brain’s capacity. D. By cutting down cognitive load. 30. Why are the different theories mentioned in Paragraph 4? A. To present that different theories may contradict each other. B. To show the historical development of break-related theories. C. To emphasize the importance of physical exercise in study. D To provide the theoretical support for the benefits of breaks. 31. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Students should prioritize working harder over taking breaks. B. Regular breaks alone are enough to achieve the best academic results. C. True productivity combines scientific basis with practical strategies. D. More focus should be placed on short-term goals by students. D When someone proposes a false claim, what’s the best way to change their mind? A recent paper suggests that immediately negating the claim with evidence isn’t especially effective. Instead, “bypassing” the false claim with positive counter(反)-claims about the topic might be a better strategy. The classic response to someone presenting misinformation is to present counter-evidence. As the researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center (APPC) put it, “The gold standard for tackling misinformation is usually a correction that actually contradicts the misinformation.” Suppose, for example, that your dad passes back the roast potatoes over a family dinner, saying, “Are these GMOs (转基因产品)? Nah, don’t want any more physical reactions.” You might then say, “Actually, the health bodies of all the G7 agree that GMOs do not cause reactions.” But that likely won’t work. The APPC team conducted six experiments where they compared actually correcting someone with “bypassing” and found that using evidence and facts to disprove someone tends to be far less successful at changing attitudes. So, what is bypassing and why is it seemingly more effective? Bypassing is where, instead of providing some negative disapproval of a claim, you instead provide positive counter-claims about the topic. For example, if someone tells you that 5G kills birds, tell them that 5G adds billions to the world economy. Bypassing means not meeting your misinformed opponent head-on. This is not a battle of arguments or the studies. You are pushing an argument into a different position. It’s using someone’s movements and logic against them. There are limitations to what the team at APPC has concluded. Their study into bypassing was largely about attitudes to policies, not about belief change or belief correction. Someone might still believe that 5G kills birds or that GMOs cause reactions, but admit that those are necessary bad things, compared to the positive outcomes you present them with. So, bypassing isn’t the only tool available, and it might not even be the best if your concern is belief change. Changing someone’s belief is a complicated psychological topic, and there is definitely no one-size-fits-all strategy. When it comes to policy decisions and willingness to accept a certain technology or medicine, bypassing seems like a valuable tool to add to your kit. 32. According to the APPC research, how does “bypassing” differ from traditional corrections? A. It uses stronger evidence. B. It adopts emotional appeals. C. It offers positive arguments. D. It focuses on unrelated topics. 33. Which can be used as an example of “bypassing”? A. GMOs are safe to eat because scientists say so. B. GMOs can produce higher output with less cost. C. 5G kill birds but their benefits outweigh the risks. D. 5G doesn’t kill birds, for they show no connection. 34. What do we know about the “bypassing” tool according to the text? A. It is the most reliable way. B. It may help accept policies. C. It appears frequently in debates. D. It is effective in belief correction. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bypassing: A Better Way to Shift Attitudes? B. Changing one’s Mind: Bypass Indirectly! C. Challenging Misinformation: Bypass it! D. Negating the claim: does it work? 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Managing Conflict with Humour Humour is a powerful tool. It brings people closer, managing conflict, and reducing tension. ____36____ Make sure you’re both in on the joke. Humour can help you overcome conflict only when both parties are in on the joke. So it’s important to be sensitive to the other person. ____37____ When the joking is one-sided rather than mutual (相互的), it can damage the relationship. Don’t use humour to cover up other emotions. Humour helps you face challenges in life. But there are times when humour is not healthy. For example, sometimes it is used as a cover for avoiding painful emotions. ____38____ When you do that, you create confusion and mistrust in your relationships. ____39____ Some find it easier than others to use humour, especially in tense situations. If your efforts aren’t going over well, start by using self-deprecating (自嘲的) humour. We all love people who don’t take themselves too seriously. After all, nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. So, if you’re having a bad hair day, make a joke about it. Even if the joke falls flat, the only person you risk offending is yourself. Tap into (发掘) your playful side. ____40____ However, it’s important to point out that you don’t need to be a comedian to use humour to manage conflict. The point isn’t to impress the other person, but simply to lighten the mood. Therefore, don’t be afraid to simply act silly like a kid. It can lower the other person’s defenses and put you both in a more positive state of mind. A. Stop humour if faced with trouble. B. Develop a smart sense of humour. C. It is easy to understand some jokes. D. It’s understandable to fear rejection when attempting humour. E. You can be funny about the truth, but hiding the truth isn’t funny. F. Here’s how to use humour to resolve disagreements and strengthen your relationships. G. If he or she isn’t likely to appreciate the joke, don’t say or do it, even if it’s “all in good fun”. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 The piano, ever since its creation, has had a great impact on the world’s music.
