B On a low hill near the coast of Maine,colorful flowers glow in the May sunlight,while new plants emerge from the soil.This is Dandy Ram Farm,run by Bo Dennis,who grows flowers for weddings and other special events "When people come to us,we say,This is what we're good at:local,sustainably grown flowers," Dennis says."Sometimes clients ask for out-of-season flowers.I say,'Great!Have a good celebration. I don't think we're the right fit for you.'" What Dennis grows won't be found in supermarkets or big-box stores.The flowers that fill those shelves are imports,and they are part of an enormously successful international market that sells blooms thousands of miles from their fields of origin and earns more than $25 billion every year.But pesticides (and other agrochemicals required to sustain that scale of production can injure workers and their families.Studies in Ecuador,the world's third-largest flower exporter,link flower farm chemicals to children's attention problems and birth abnormalities ()And the risks extend to people around the world.In Belgium,florists()with imported flowers had unhealthy levels of pesticide chemicals on their gloves,levels high enough to burn the skin if it wasn't protected. In response,small U.S.operations such as Dennis's Dandy Ram Farm are building a new agricultural model-a"slow flower movement,"which offers a cleaner,greener alternative to modern floral production. CS扫描全能王 】亿人在用的扫描A Flowers are so present in our lives that we almost do not see them:wrapped in paper in every market,placed in a vase on a table in any cafe.But while they are quotidian,they memorialize the most important days of our lives.We invest them with so much meaning that we demand they always be perfect.But those perfect plants don't grow that way without assistance.They are routinely treated with chemicals to ensure they meet our expectations. Dennis and other growers aim to protect ecosystems while bringing a bit of beauty-wild, imperfect,unpredictable-back into the world. 34.Why does Bo Dennis turn down some clients'requests? A.He sticks to eco-friendly farming. B.He wants to provide perfect flowers. C.He fails to compete with large stores. D.He sells flowers for specific occasions. 35.What concern does paragraph 3 raise about the global flower industry? A.Its economic costs. B.Its health impacts. C.Its growth prospects D.Its technological challenges. 36.What does the underlined word"quotidian"in paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Harmful. B.Perfect. C.Common. D.Meaningful. 37.Which saying best reflects Dennis's philosophy on flower growing? A.Let things be as they are. B.All good things take time. C.Perfection is the enemy of good. D.Growth requires careful planning. 0 Some people think they are immune to ads.They might not have heard of the mere exposure effect-a psychological phenomenon where we tend to like things the more we are exposed to them. When we plot the mere exposure effect on a graph with preferences on one axis (and repetitions on the other,we will see that it takes about 15 repeats for the effect to reach its full potential. If the exposure is too excessive(),people get annoyed.And if they didn't like the thing initially, repeating it can make it worse. There are two main explanations for the phenomenon.The first is certainty.Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could potentially harm us.If we see something repeatedly without bad consequences,we are led to believe it is safe.The second is perceptual (fluency. We are also hardwired to prefer simple things that take little mental load.Difficult tasks like figuring out something new take lots of attention and time,which is why we try to avoid them. Known for discovering the effect was psychologist Robert Zajonc,who tested how subjects responded to specific symbols.A group of people were shown a series of random shapes which changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated.When the subjects were asked which shapes they found most pleasing,they chose those to which they had been exposed the most often,even though they had no conscious awareness of that. C扫描全能王 亿人幕在用的扫描A The results showed that changes in preferences caused by repeated exposures depend not on any prior subjective and conscious evaluations of the stimulus but rather on results from the objective history of exposures alone. Now tell us what you think about ads.If mere exposure to them makes us like things we otherwise wouldn't,.should billboards(广告牌)be banned from the public area? 38.Which of the following graphs best illustrates the mere exposure effect? Preferenees Preferences 0 10 方Repetitions 10 A Preferences Preferences 10 I方Repetitions 方Repetitions D 39.According to Zajonc's experiment,what drives changes in preferences? A.Random variation. B.Objective analysis. C.Subjective judgment. D.Subconscious familiarity. 40.Which activity shows the application of the mere exposure effect? A.A novelist organizes a book signing event. B.A game studio develops a challenging mode C.A singer buys hot recommendations on a music app. D.A fashion brand reintroduces certain classic designs. 41.Why does the author mention ads at the end of the text? A.To criticize fake advertising. B.To oppose outdoor advertising. C.To point out the drawbacks of ads.D.To caution against the influence of ads. 6 C扫描全能王 亿人在用的扫描A D Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks.A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention ()improved productivity and a higher quality of care.The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry. Yong Suk Lee,associate professor of technology,economy and global affairs,was the lead author for the study."Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could entail elsewhere-a declining population,a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,"Lee said."We need to be ready for this new reality..” In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care,using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike,Lee said.The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities:Transfer robots,which nurses use to lift,move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms.Mobility robots,which patients use to move around and to bathe. Monitoring and communication robots,which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers. "We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates.This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes.Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain,particularly in their knees and back.The work is hard and the pay is low.So robot use was associated with employee retention."Lee said,"Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch,empathy and dexterity ) Ultimately,robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care." "This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,"Lee said. 42.Why did Yong Suk Lee focus his research on Japan? A.It encourages the elderly care industry.B.It has a sound foundation for robot nursing. C.Its society well reflects the trend. D.It owns the most advanced robots in the world. 43.How do the nursing robots improve patient care? A.They offer full-time chat service. B.They monitor patients'real-time data. C.They provide specific treatment plans.D.They move medical equipment freely. 44.Why does robot adoption reduce workers'quit rates? A.It solves the issue of low pay. B.It eases their heavy working burden. C.It helps to treat their occupational injuries. D.It switches their focus from human touch to technology. C扫描全能王 J亿人幕在用的扫描A 45.What's the passage mainly about? A.Japan's exploration exemplifies the care industry. B.High quality care for the elderly should be advocated. C.Nursing robots benefit staff retention and patient care. D.Robot adoption in nursing requires critical examination. 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。 The less you spend,the more you save.It sounds simple in theory,but in practice,it's much more complicated.Spending is built into our daily habits,which sometimes can get us addicted to buying stuff. It's kind of like a crash diet,but in a good way! 47 Despite the name,a no-spend challenge doesn't mean you sit on your hands and spend no money whatsoever.After all,you don't want to fall behind on your bills,and there are some necessities you simply can't do without.The basic premise (of a no-spend challenge is to cut out non-essential spending for a certain amount of time.It could be for a week,a month or even an entire year. What can you spend money on during a no-spend challenge? If you need to purchase something during your no-spend challenge,it should be something that's necessary and you absolutely can't do without.So groceries,yes.Candy bar in the checkout line,no. Also,no new iPhone,even if you've been dreaming about an upgrade.No new shoes,even if they're on a huge sale.This is not the time to make excuses to buy stuff you don't really need.48 The goal of this challenge isn't to make life harder on yourselfby cutting out spending on essential expenses. The financial benefits of a no-spend challenge 49 You can use the extra money you normally would have spent to build up your emergency fund.Or you might want to put the money toward other financial goals,like saving for a new car or an upcoming vacation.While no-spend challenges are designed to be temporary,you can always extend your challenge.50 A.Decide acceptable purchases. B.What is a no-spend challenge? C.There should be no quick-fix approach D.When will you start your no-spend challenge? E Why not treat it as more of a lifestyle change? F.Sometimes the best way is to go on a spending freeze. G.A no-spend challenge can be a boost to your financial situation. 8 C扫描全能王 亿人在用的扫描A 第四部分：语言运用（共四节，满分55分） 第一节：完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） I was raised to believe that showing my strength was the best way to face life.And the belief 51_me.
