One example is the Shenzhen bag, which includes canvas (帆布) bags, paper bags, milk tea packages that people carry around in Guangdong Province. Makeshift handbags like the “Shenzhen bag” are also common among young people in big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou. People find the bags practical, wearable and fashionable, and they can be carried on the shoulder or the back. This emerging trend indicates a new attitude to consumption as young people in China begin to seek a simple and shared life, with consumers no longer blindly pursuing brand names as a status (身份) symbol, but advocating a simple and low-carbon lifestyle. In addition to the handbags, and regardless of their monthly incomes, many young people are living more casually, in line with a “good enough mentality”. Loose T-shirts, Crocs, and canvas bags are basically standard style. “Consumers today are becoming more mature and rational. They are seeking smarter consumption through careful consideration and estimation to find the cheapest, most practical, cost-effective way of shopping,” says Wang Ning, a sociology professor at Nanjing’s Southeast University. Economists believe that China’s Generation Z no longer blindly pursues brands and high-end goods or buys things for brand name and status. Instead, they pay more attention to their actual needs, quality, and experience of buying, and prefer sharing and second-hand purchases. They also advocate environmental protection and sustainable consumption. Price-aware Chinese consumers have also begun to place a greater emphasis on their inner selves. Driven by rational consumption, many young people no longer save for a brand-name bag, but for self-improvement. The new handbag trend has also created business opportunities. Reusing packaging used for brands as handbags results in mobile advertising for the associated brands, and the phenomenon of the “Shenzhen Bag” has also benefited paper bag companies. 1. What is a feature of “Shenzhen bag”? A. A popular expensive brand handbag. B. A short-lived handbag symbolizing status. C. A traditional handbag designed for specific people. D. A temporary handbag that was once for another use 2. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “rational” in paragraph 3? A. Conservative. B. Reliable. C. Sensible. D. Considerate. 3. What contributes to the change in consumption habits among China’s Generation Z? A. A belief for a simple and green lifestyle. B. An ignorance of environmental protection C. Blind pursuit of brand names and luxury goods. D. Focus on outer appearance rather than inner selves. B Over 40 students with low vision study at a school in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. It was designed by Anand Sonecha, founder of an architecture company. Featuring a bright yellow entrance door, which stands out against the white walls, the school is decorated with a variety of sweet-smelling plants everywhere. Inside the classrooms, the walls feel smooth in contrast to the rough outside of the building. These all help students familiarize themselves with the area straightforwardly, without any trouble. The school provides an open space serving as a platform for the visually-challenged students to play, perform, or celebrate festivals and the students find it easy to adapt themselves according to the sound, smell, sight and touch. “The idea behind the design was to make the school more accessible to the students,” Sonecha says, “They come from remote villages and towns in Gujarat, and I am eager to help them.” During the construction, Sonecha used contrasting colors so that students could easily distinguish between the elements. Blue was used for all classroom doors, yellow for the entrance gate, black for switch buttons, and yellow and green for the furniture. All these colors contrasted with the white walls of the school, helping the students locate different elements. Different areas are of different height and width, which makes the sounds and noises change according to the echo (回音) produced in these spaces. Furthermore, he cooperated with fellow landscape architect Lokendra Balasaria to plant more than 1,000 plants of 37 species. These sweet plants have been grown not only to lead the children to move in the school through smell but also to attract butterflies and birds, and provide shade. “The structure of the building is designed similarly to any other school building, only with a few clever elements. My intention was to avoid making it look distinct from other schools,” Sonecha explains, “I hope that there are no different schools for such students. Instead, all these elements should be added to public spaces for them. And my follow-up efforts may be there.” 4. Why did Sonecha design the school in Gandhinagar? A. To explore architecture styles. B. To raise funds for his company C. To offer convenience to the students. D. To improve students’ learning ability. 5. How does the school help students perform daily routine? A. By planting various trees. B. By expanding activity areas. C. By stimulating multiple senses. D. By helping students distinguish colors. 6. What will Sonecha probably do in the future? A. Modernize architecture with smart devices. B. Promote accessibility in the public regions. C. Build special schools for disabled students. D. Decorate schools with traditional elements. C Today and every day we are the targets of advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. And they’re good at it. Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to pull at to increase its success. But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion — the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it. Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were greeted with images of either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofa s for purchase whereas those who saw the money preferred cheaper models. Long before scientists started studying the process of pre-suasion, a few notable communicators already had an intuitive（直觉的）understanding of it. For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but...” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting（鼓吹）the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity. Credited with breaking open the US market for small cars, the ad campaign has been rated among the greatest of all time. With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements — great praises, emotional pull, lastchance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do. 7. What aspect of advertising has been commonly overlooked according to the text? A. The use of psychological strings to influence people. B. The effort to convince people without their knowledge. C. The choice of communication channels for more success. D. The improvement of message contents to attract buyers. 8. Which of the following examples best illustrates the concept of pre-suasion? A. An online store trumpeting special offers. B. A banker explaining interest rates to customers. C. A car dealer offering discounts to potential buyers. D. A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season. 9. What can be learned about the Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign in the 1950s? A. It focused on emotional appeals. B. It failed to highlight its strengths. C. It thoroughly changed the US small-sized car market. D. It strategically introduced an unconventional product. 10. What can we infer about practitioners of social influence? A. They have been expert at applying pre-suasion. B. They have maximized their impact with persuasion. C. They have generally ignored the effectiveness of pre-suasion. D. They have combined pre-suasion with persuasion effectively. 第二节 语句排序（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 11. 将下列语句（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 A. The newly released historical drama “The Grand Dynasty” has become a big hit in the entertainment world by applying augmented reality (AR) technology in its production. B. For instance, in a scene showing a magnificent royal court ceremony, AR was used to reproduce the complex patterns on the officials’ costumes. These patterns were based on detailed studies of ancient court dress rules. C. However, some traditional scholars in the area of historical research are concerned that the use of AR may change historical facts, causing the story to focus more on visual effects rather than historical accuracy. D. This cooperation between historians and AR experts shows how modern technology, when combined with historical knowledge, can provide a more engaging and accurate historical viewing experience. E. To deal with these concerns, the production team hired a group of famous historians as advisors. They worked closely with the AR developers to make sure that every scene enhanced by AR was in line with historical records. ________→________→________→________→________ 第三节 选句填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Convincing teenagers to put down their phone and dig in the flowerbeds may seem like a long shot.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国年轻人中兴起的一种新潮流，即放弃品牌包，转而使用环保材料自制临时手提包，这一趋势反映了年轻人对简单、共享生活的追求，以及对低碳、环保生活方式的倡导。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new trend has appeared in China with many young people abandoning brand (品牌) names to create temporary handbags out of things like reusable grocery bags and other materials. One example is the Shenzhen bag, which includes canvas (帆布) bags, paper bags, milk tea packages that people carry around in Guangdong Province. (中国出现了一种新趋势，许多年轻人放弃品牌名称，转而使用可重复使用的购物袋和其他材料制作临时手提包。一个例子是深圳包，包括在广东省人们随身携带的帆布包、纸袋、奶茶包等)”可知，“深圳包”是一种临时手提包，曾经用于其他用途。故选D。 【2题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段““Consumers today are becoming more mature and rational. They are seeking smarter consumption through careful consideration and estimation to find the cheapest, most practical, cost-effective way of shopping,” says Wang Ning, a sociology professor at Nanjing’s Southeast University. (南京东南大学社会学教授王宁表示：“如今的消费者正变得更加成熟和rational。他们通过仔细考虑和评估，寻求更明智的消费方式，以找到最便宜、最实用、最划算的购物方式。” )”可知，“rational”在此处指的是通过仔细考虑和计算来进行更明智的消费。A. Conservative 保守的；B.Reliable 可靠的；C.Sensible 明智的；D.Considerate 体贴的。C选项“Sensible”符合此处语境。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This emerging trend indicates a new attitude to consumption as young people in China begin to seek a simple and shared life, with consumers no longer blindly pursuing brand names as a status (身份) symbol, but advocating a simple and low-carbon lifestyle. (这一新兴趋势表明了一种新的消费态度，即中国年轻人开始追求简单、共享的生活，消费者不再盲目追求品牌作为身份的象征，而是倡导简单、低碳的生活方式)”可知，中国Z世代消费习惯的变化源于对简单绿色生活方式的信仰。故选A。 B Over 40 students with low vision study at a school in Gandhinagar, Gujarat.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了安纳德·索内查设计的位于甘地讷格尔的一所学校，该学校旨在为视力低下的学生提供便利。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““The idea behind the design was to make the school more accessible to the students,” Sonecha says, “They come from remote villages and towns in Gujarat, and I am eager to help them.”(“设计的初衷是让学生更容易进入学校，”索内查说，“他们来自古吉拉特邦的偏远村庄和城镇，我渴望帮助他们。”)”可知，索内查在甘地讷格尔设计学校是为了给学生提供便利。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Inside the classrooms, the walls feel smooth in contrast to the rough outside of the building. These all help students familiarize themselves with the area straightforwardly, without any trouble. (教室里的墙壁摸起来很光滑，与建筑外部的粗糙形成鲜明对比。这些都有助于学生直接熟悉该区域，没有任何麻烦。)”以及第二段中“The school provides an open space serving as a platform for the visually-challenged students to play, perform, or celebrate festivals and the students find it easy to adapt themselves according to the sound, smell, sight and touch. (学校提供了一个开放的空间，作为视力有障碍的学生玩耍、表演或庆祝节日的平台，学生们发现很容易根据声音、气味、视觉和触觉来适应自己)”可知，学校通过刺激多种感官来帮助学生进行日常活动。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““The structure of the building is designed similarly to any other school building, only with a few clever elements. My intention was to avoid making it look distinct from other schools,” Sonecha explains, “I hope that there are no different schools for such students. Instead, all these elements should be added to public spaces for them. And my follow-up efforts may be there.” (“建筑的结构设计与其他任何学校建筑都相似，只是有一些巧妙的元素。”索内查解释说，“我的目的是避免让它看起来与其他学校不同。”“我希望没有为这类学生设立不同的学校。相反，所有这些元素都应该添加到他们的公共空间中。我的后续努力可能会在那里。”)”可知，索内查未来可能会在公共区域推广无障碍设施。故选B。 C Today and every day we are the targets of advertisers, fundraisers and politicians trying to persuade us to buy something, do something or think a certain way. And they’re good at it. Over the years, they’ve learned a lot about which features to build into a communication and which psychological strings to pull at to increase its success. But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process. Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion — the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it. Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones. In one study, visitors to an online sofa store were greeted with images of either soft clouds or small coins in the background of its landing page. Those who saw the clouds were more likely to prefer soft, comfortable sofa s for purchase whereas those who saw the money preferred cheaper models. Long before scientists started studying the process of pre-suasion, a few notable communicators already had an intuitive（直觉的）understanding of it. For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but...” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting（鼓吹）the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity. Credited with breaking open the US market for small cars, the ad campaign has been rated among the greatest of all time. With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements — great praises, emotional pull, lastchance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do. 7. What aspect of advertising has been commonly overlooked according to the text? A. The use of psychological strings to influence people. B. The effort to convince people without their knowledge. C. The choice of communication channels for more success. D. The improvement of message contents to attract buyers. 8. Which of the following examples best illustrates the concept of pre-suasion? A. An online store trumpeting special offers. B. A banker explaining interest rates to customers. C. A car dealer offering discounts to potential buyers. D. A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season. 9. What can be learned about the Volkswagen Beetle ad campaign in the 1950s? A. It focused on emotional appeals. B. It failed to highlight its strengths. C. It thoroughly changed the US small-sized car market. D. It strategically introduced an unconventional product. 10. What can we infer about practitioners of social influence? A. They have been expert at applying pre-suasion. B. They have maximized their impact with persuasion. C. They have generally ignored the effectiveness of pre-suasion. D. They have combined pre-suasion with persuasion effectively. 【答案】7. B 8. D 9. D 10. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“预说服”（pre-suasion）这一概念。多年来广告商等在说服他人时往往注重信息本身，而忽略了预说服这一关键要素。预说服是指在人们知晓信息内容之前就使其倾向于认同该信息，文中还通过具体例子说明了预说服的作用及效果。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But by concentrating on the message itself, they’ve missed a crucial component of the process.( 但是，由于过于关注信息本身，他们错过了这个过程的一个关键组成部分。)”以及第三段中“Research done in the last 15 years shows that best persuasion is achieved through pre-suasion — the practice of arranging for people to agree with a message before they even know what’s in it.( 过去15年的研究表明，最好的说服是通过预说服实现的，即在人们还不知道信息内容之前就安排他们同意信息的做法。)”可知，广告商等通常关注信息本身，而忽略了让人们在不知情的情况下就倾向于认同信息这一关键要素，也就是预说服。故选B项。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Pre-suasion works by focusing people’s attention on a selected concept, which in turn stimulates them to overvalue it over related ones.( 预说服的工作原理是把人们的注意力集中在一个选定的概念上，这反过来又刺激他们高估这个概念，而不是相关的概念。)”可知，预说服是通过将人们的注意力集中在一个选定的概念上，从而使他们高估这个概念。D 选项“A shop playing Jingle Bells in Christmas season.”（一家商店在圣诞节期间播放《铃儿响叮当》），在圣诞节期间播放特定的音乐，能让顾客将注意力集中在圣诞节这个概念上，进而可能影响他们的消费行为，比如更倾向于购买节日相关商品，符合预说服的概念。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“For example, the pre-suasive strategy was employed in the late 1950s by the advertising firm Doyle Dane Bernbach to introduce the oddly shaped Volkswagen Beetle to a US market dominated by big, powerful, boat-like vehicles. The “We’re ugly but...” campaign strategically admitted to limitations in appearance before trumpeting（鼓吹）the auto’s strengths such as economy, reliability and simplicity.( 例如，上世纪50年代末，广告公司道尔•丹恩•伯恩巴赫（Doyle Dane Bernbach）采用了预先说服策略，将外形奇特的大众甲壳虫（Volkswagen Beetle）引入了美国市场，当时美国市场由大型、强劲、像船一样的汽车主导。“我们很丑，但是……”的宣传活动，在宣传这款车的优势，如经济、可靠和简单之前，有策略地承认了外观上的局限性。)”可知，在 20 世纪 50 年代，大众甲壳虫汽车的广告活动采用了预说服策略，在宣传汽车的优势（如经济性、可靠性和简洁性）之前，先承认了其外观上的不足，这种策略是为了向以大型、强大、船型车辆为主的美国市场引入这款造型奇特的汽车，也就是有策略地引入了一款非传统的产品。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With considerable success, practitioners of social influence have always featured persuasive elements — great praises, emotional pull, lastchance opportunities—in their appeals. Perhaps because of that success, they’ve mostly missed an accompanying truth. For maximum impact, it’s not only what you do; it’s also what you do just before you do what you do.( 在相当大的成功中，社会影响力的实践者总是在他们的呼吁中加入有说服力的元素——伟大的赞美、情感的牵引、最后的机会。也许正是因为这种成功，他们大多忽略了一个伴随而来的真相。为了产生最大的影响，不仅仅是你做了什么；这也是你在做你要做的事情之前要做的事情。)”可知，有影响力的社会从业者在他们的诉求中总是包含有说服力的元素（如高度赞扬、情感吸引、最后机会等），但由于他们在这方面的成功，他们大多忽略了预说服这一重要因素。故选C项。 第二节 语句排序（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 11. 将下列语句（A、B、C、D和E）按题号排序，构成一个符合逻辑的完整语篇。 A. The newly released historical drama “The Grand Dynasty” has become a big hit in the entertainment world by applying augmented reality (AR) technology in its production. B. For instance, in a scene showing a magnificent royal court ceremony, AR was used to reproduce the complex patterns on the officials’ costumes. These patterns were based on detailed studies of ancient court dress rules. C. However, some traditional scholars in the area of historical research are concerned that the use of AR may change historical facts, causing the story to focus more on visual effects rather than historical accuracy. D. This cooperation between historians and AR experts shows how modern technology, when combined with historical knowledge, can provide a more engaging and accurate historical viewing experience. E. To deal with these concerns, the production team hired a group of famous historians as advisors.

A句“The newly released historical drama “The Grand Dynasty” has become a big hit in the entertainment world by applying augmented reality (AR) technology in its production.(新上映的历史剧《The Grand Dynasty》在制作中应用了增强现实（AR）技术，在娱乐界大受欢迎。)”开篇点题，引出历史剧《The Grand Dynasty》在制作中运用 AR 技术并大受欢迎这一话题，为全文定下讨论基础。 2. C句“However, some traditional scholars in the area of historical research are concerned that the use of AR may change historical facts, causing the story to focus more on visual effects rather than historical accuracy.(历史研究领域的一些传统学者担心，AR的使用可能会改变历史事实，导致故事更注重视觉效果而不是历史准确性。)”与A句构成转折关系，承接上文提到的AR技术在历史剧中运用，指出传统学者担心历史剧制作中使用AR技术可能歪曲历史事实、导致忽视历史准确性。 3. E句“To deal with these concerns, the production team hired a group of famous historians as advisors. They worked closely with the AR developers to make sure that every scene enhanced by AR was in line with historical records.(为了解决这些问题，制作团队聘请了一批著名历史学家担任顾问。他们与AR开发人员密切合作，确保AR增强的每个场景都符合历史记录。)”中“To deal with these concerns”表明是针对C句提到的担忧给出解决方案，即制作团队聘请历史学家当顾问，与AR开发者合作确保场景符合历史记录。 4. B句“For instance, in a scene showing a magnificent royal court ceremony, AR was used to reproduce the complex patterns on the officials’ costumes. These patterns were based on detailed studies of ancient court dress rules.(例如，在一场盛大的皇家宫廷仪式中，AR被用来再现官员服装上的复杂图案。这些图案是基于对古代宫廷着装规则的详细研究。)”承接E句，通过具体例子，说明上文提到的合作是如何确保历史剧是符合历史记录的。 5. D句“This cooperation between historians and AR experts shows how modern technology, when combined with historical knowledge, can provide a more engaging and accurate historical viewing experience.(历史学家和AR专家之间的合作表明，现代技术与历史知识相结合，可以提供更具吸引力和更准确的历史观看体验。)”对前面的内容进行总结升华，强调历史学家和AR专家的合作体现了现代技术与历史知识结合带来更优质的历史观看体验，使文章逻辑完整。故答案为ACEBD。 第三节 选句填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。 Convincing teenagers to put down their phone and dig in the flowerbeds may seem like a long shot.
