A. Facing; taking B. To face; taking C. Having faced; took D. Faced; took 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词和动词时态。句意：面对困难的局面，年轻人慢慢地走进房间，紧张地环顾四周，最后深吸了一口气才开始演讲。句中walked为谓语动词，第一空处使用非谓语动词，同时the young man与face之间是被动关系，故使用过去分词作状语；同时第二空处使用动词作谓语，与前文的walked与glanced构成并列，故用took。故选D。 2. The sculpture is symbolic of the polluted Earth, ________ people to stop polluting the environment. A. reminding B. reminded C. having reminded D. being reminded 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这座雕塑象征着被污染的地球，提醒人们停止污染环境。“(remind) people to stop polluting the environment”作伴随状语，remind(提醒)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语是“the sculpture”之间主动关系，用现在分词表主动，表示动作同时发生。故选A项。 3. ________ her house ________, Roso decided to live in the nearby hotels. A. Seen; painted B. Seeing; being painted C. Seen; being painted D. Seeing; painted 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：看到她的房子正在被粉刷，Rose决定住在附近的宾馆。分析句子可知，第一空为非谓语动词作状语，Roso与see在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词作状语，第二空为非谓语动词作宾补，her house与paint在逻辑上是被动关系，且表示动作正在进行，故用现在分词的被动式。故选B项。 4. With mountains ________ at the far side and flocks of birds flying overhead, I can’t help but have my eyes ________ on such breath-taking view. A. stood; focusing B. standing; focusing C. standing; focused D. stood; focused 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：远处群山矗立，头顶飞鸟成群，我不禁将目光投向了这令人屏息的美景。第一空为with的复合结构“with+宾语+宾补”，mountain和stand之间为主动关系，因此需用现在分词形式作宾补，并与空格后的flying并列；第二空是“have+宾语+宾补”结构，focus和my eyes之间是被动关系，此处需用过去分词作宾补。故选C。 5. The girl devoted all her spare time she had ________ the homeless people in the neighbourhood. A. to help B. helped C. to helping D. help 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动名词。句意：这个女孩把她所有的业余时间都用来帮助附近无家可归的人。“she had ”是定语从句，修饰all her spare time，devote...to...是固定搭配，表示“致力于做某事”，to在此是介词，后面跟名词或动名词。故选C。 6. （2018· 北京）Ordinary soap, _________ correctly, can deal with bacteria effectively. A. used B. to use C. using D. use 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：如果正确使用的话，普通的肥皂可以有效地处理细菌。Ordinary soap can deal with bacterial effectively是主句，_________ correctly是条件状语，修饰ordinary soap，ordinary soap和use之间是被动关系，故要用过去分词，A选项正确。 点睛：过去分词所表示的一个含义就是“被动”。 7. —Do you think it ______ to argue with them? —The question is not worthy ______. A. worthwhile; discussing B. worthwhile; to be discussed C. worthy; to discuss D. worth; to be discussed 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词辨析和固定短语。句意：——你认为值得和他们争论吗？——这个问题不值得讨论。根据“think it”和“to argue with them”可知，此处用固定句型“think it+形容词+to do sth.”，意为“认为做某事……”，其中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式，第一空作宾语补足语，形容词worthwhile表示“值得的”，可作宾语补足语，形容词worthy意为“值得……的”，不能作宾语补足语，worth作形容词表示“值得的，具有……价值的”时不能作宾语补足语，故可排除C和D项；根据“is not worthy”和选项可知，此处用固定短语be worthy to be done表示“某事值得被做”。故选B。 8. ____his homework he went to play basketball on the playground.

As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation. During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration. As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous (有活力的) melodies. What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new. 24. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris? A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present. C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time. 25. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre? A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music. B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music. C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together. D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world. 26. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience? A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully. B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance. C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations. D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition. 27. Which might be the most suitable title for the text? A. A Musical Journey Across Continents B. The Journey of Traditional Instruments C. Cultural Exchange in Paris: A Summer Adventure D. Silk Road Echoes: Bridging Cultures Through Music 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了中国成都的李梅带着二胡参加巴黎的青年文化交流项目，与法国小提琴家皮埃尔相遇，两人互相启发，将二胡和小提琴的音乐融合，创作出 “丝绸之路回声” 并大获成功，之后他们继续合作，通过虚拟音乐课程连接成都和里昂的学生，传播音乐无国界的理念。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu — a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty.(去年夏天，来自成都的17岁的李梅在巴黎走下飞机，手里拿着她心爱的二胡——一种从她祖母那里传下来的中国传统两弦乐器。作为青年文化交流项目的一部分，她多年来一直梦想着这一刻，但在异国他乡代表她的传统的压力让她手心冒汗)”可知, 李梅是作为青年文化交流项目的一部分来到巴黎，她携带的二胡是中国传统乐器，并且她深知自己肩负着在异国展示中国文化遗产的重任。 由此可推知，李梅把二胡带到巴黎是为了分享中国音乐文化。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration.(受到彼此音乐的启发, 他们决定将二胡的深情旋律与小提琴的动态范围融为一体, 在即将到来的巴士底日庆祝活动中演出。)”以及第三段中的“The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause.(这种融合创造了一种迷人的音景, 这是两人都无法想象的。演出当晚, 他们的作品《丝路回声》赢得了雷鸣般的掌声。)”可知, 他们成功的表演和从彼此的音乐中获得的灵感促成了李梅和皮埃尔的持久合作。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous (有活力的) melodies.(二胡悲怆的音调与小提琴铿锵有力的旋律交相呼应, 令观众惊叹不已。)”可知, 《丝绸之路回声》受到观众的热烈欢迎是因为它将二胡和小提琴的音乐元素融合在一起，实现了东西方音乐文化的交融，就像文明之间的音乐握手。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。主要讲述了中国成都的李梅带着二胡参加巴黎的青年文化交流项目，与法国小提琴家皮埃尔相遇，两人互相启发，将二胡和小提琴的音乐融合，创作出 “丝绸之路回声” 并大获成功，之后他们继续合作，通过虚拟音乐课程连接成都和里昂的学生，传播音乐无国界的理念。所以短文的标题为“丝绸之路回声：通过音乐连接文化”。故选D。 C A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason, books that communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will engage many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths. Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 28. What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. impressed B. inspired C. confused D. amused 29. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A. It casts light on math thoughts. B. It covers various topics. C. It makes sense to ordinary people. D. It satisfies maths professionals. 30. Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3? A. To prove the reliability of intuition. B. To reveal the book’s academic nature. C. To underline the deep truth of judgement. D. To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward Spiegelhalter’s writing style? A. Critical of its oversimplification. B. Admiring of its clarity and accessibility. C. Doubtful about its practical value. D. Neutral toward its academic depth. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一本名为《不确定性的艺术》的新书，该书通过直观假设和简单数学阐述了深刻真理，且文字通俗易懂，适合广大读者阅读。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed.(但是“解这个二次方程”会让教室里的学生感到……，让讲堂里的听众不感兴趣)”可知，and后并列的信息为“讲堂里的听众不感兴趣”，因此划线词信息应该与其保持一致，即对于让学生“解这个二次方程”的反应应该是感到困惑不解。因此，划线词意为“困惑的，不知所措的”与C选项“Confused.(感到困惑的)”为同义词。故选C项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ His new book will engage many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk.(他的新书将不仅仅吸引数学家，因为它的主题是普遍的：如何分析机会、不确定性和风险。)”可知，因为该书主题的普遍性，他的新书不仅仅会吸引数学家，还会吸引更多人。由此可知，《不确定性的艺术》这本书最大的卖点是它对普通人来说很有意义。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. (首先，斯皮格尔哈尔特教授用这些问题来阐述关于概率和统计如何工作的更广泛的思想。因此，关于疫苗安全性的讨论就涉及到了贝叶斯定理，这是一个随着新证据的出现而改进人们对概率判断的程序。)”以及“The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths.( 斯皮格尔哈尔特教授的方法的乐趣在于，他只是通过一些直觉假设和非常简单的数学就得出了这个深刻的真理。)”可知，作者在第三段中提到贝叶斯定理是为了证明斯皮格尔哈尔特的写作方法，即通过简单的直觉假设和数学得出深刻的真理。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand.(不过，最重要的是施皮格哈尔特教授传达这些想法的技巧。许多概率和统计知识可能与我们的直觉相悖，其背后的数学往往令人恐惧。但这不是一本难以阅读或理解的书)” 可推知，作者欣赏施皮格哈尔特写作风格的清晰易懂。故选B项。 D A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science — our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer. Martin Wiener, head of the research, says the finding helps reveal how the brain’s time-bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information. While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear, scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time. This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources. Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others. To understand how this memorability of an image, along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder, might relate to our subjective sense of time, Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments, in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either “short” or “long”. The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing. The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time. To find the underlying factor, the team fed the same memorability-ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain’s visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster. The explanation for why our brain’s faster processing would slow time is that it’s increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck, which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information, thus extending time. 32. What does the saying “A watched pot never boils” describe? A. The unnoticed passage of time B. The feeling that time hangs heavy. C. The hardship of preparing cuisine. D. The perception that time is confusing. 33. How does the brain’s visual system handle information? A. By setting priorities. B. By comparing similar scenes. C By sorting randomly. D. By screening out complex images. 34. Which of the images seems to last longest if shown on the screen for an equal duration based on the study? A. B. C. D. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To contrast sayings with scientific findings B. To explain visual features’ effect on memory C. To describe brain’s information processing in time perception D. To explore link between image memorability and subjective time 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. B 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新的研究表明，更令人难忘的图像似乎持续的时间更长。文章解释了大脑处理信息的过程以及研究的开展经过。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science — our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer.(“心急锅不开，快乐时光总是过得很快” 这句俗语有科学依据，即我们对时间的感知会根据我们体验世界的方式而伸缩，新研究表明更令人难忘的图像似乎持续时间更长。)”可知，开心时时间过的快，与之形成对比，“心急锅不开”这句话描述了时间沉重的感觉，即“时间难熬”之意。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources.(这对大脑的视觉系统尤其重要，因为大脑的视觉系统受到信息过载的影响，考虑到有限的资源，必须按照重要性排序)”可知，大脑的视觉系统通过设定优先级处理信息。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time.(研究人员发现，更大的场景似乎会延长时间，而更混乱的场景似乎会缩短时间。此外，受试者认为更令人难忘的图像在屏幕上停留的时间更长，即使它们呈现的时间相同)”可知，根据这项研究，如果在屏幕上显示相同的时间，B图片尺寸大且最有序，所以持续时间最长。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇提到 “A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science—our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer.(“心急锅不开，快乐时光总是过得很快” 这句俗语有科学依据，即我们对时间的感知会根据我们体验世界的方式而伸缩，新研究表明更令人难忘的图像似乎持续时间更长。），接着介绍了Wiener 和他的同事进行的实验，以了解图像的可记忆性等与我们主观时间感的关系，最后解释了大脑处理信息与时间感知的联系。根据文章整体内容可知，文章的主要目的是探索图像可记忆性和主观时间之间的联系。故选D。 第二节 (5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you tend to talk too much, people undervalue what it is that you bring to the table, which means being too talkative can lead to issues with socializing and making friends.

A Set Boundaries, Find Peace By Nedra Glover Tawwab Description The instant New York Times bestseller. End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself. Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them in order to achieve work & life balance, deal with negative people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do “healthy boundaries” really mean—and how can we successfully express our needs, say “no,” and be decisive without offending others? Licensed consultant, sought-after relationship expert, and one of the most influential therapists on Instagram, Nedra Glover Tawwab clarifies this complex topic for today's world. In a relatable and inclusive tone, Set Boundaries, Find Peace presents simple-yet-powerful ways to set healthy boundaries in all aspects of life. Rooted in the latest research and best practices used in cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT), these techniques help us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology-and uncover a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more. Editorial reviews “Set Boundaries, Find Peace is a down-to-earth guide on fully realizing your potential and giving yourself the freedom you deserve by clearly setting healthy boundaries in your personal and professional life, friendships, and relationships. Eye-opening and thoroughly engaging. ” —Myleik Teele, CURLBOX founder “If you want the most comprehensive, relevant, and relatable guide to setting boundaries, speaking your needs, and living a more peaceful life, Nedra Tawwab's book on boundaries is for you. ” —Sheleana Aiyana, founder of Rising Woman 21.

D. Four. B Last summer, 17-year-old Li Mei from Chengdu stepped off the plane in Paris, carrying her beloved erhu — a traditional Chinese two-stringed instrument that was passed down from her grandmother. As part of a youth cultural exchange program, she had dreamed of this moment for years, yet the weight of representing her heritage in a foreign land left her palms sweaty. Little did she know that this trip would spark an extraordinary musical creation. During a workshop at a local art school, Li met Pierre, a French violinist who was fascinated by her instrument’s attractive sound. “It’s like the voice of ancient China,” he remarked with excitement, gently plucking (拨) the erhu’s strings. Inspired by each other’s music, they decided to mix the soulful melodies of the erhu with the dynamic range of the violin for a performance at the upcoming Bastille Day celebration. As they practiced in a sunlit studio overlooking the Seine, Li taught Pierre how to imitate raindrops with quick bow movements on the erhu, while Pierre showed her how to weave Western harmonies into the Chinese folk tune “Jasmine Flower.” The integration created a charming soundscape that neither had imagined possible. On the performance night, their piece “Silk Road Echoes” received thunderous applause. The audience were amazed at how the erhu’s sad tones danced with the violin’s vigorous (有活力的) melodies. What began as a summer experiment blossomed into lasting friendship and something far greater. Today, Li and Pierre co-teach virtual music classes, connecting students in Chengdu and Lyon through weekly “global jam sessions.” Their students cooperate on pieces that mix erhu with guitar or Peking opera with jazz. Li often tells her pupils, “Music has no borders; it’s a language that turns differences into harmonies.” When traditions meet with open hearts, they don’t conflict; they compose something entirely new. 24. Why did Li Mei bring her erhu to Paris? A. To share Chinese music culture. B. To give it to her friend as a present. C. To display it at a local studio. D. To teach students full-time. 25. What contributed to the lasting cooperation of Li Mei and Pierre? A. Their common and deep love for traditional Chinese music. B. Their successful performance and inspiration from each other’s music. C. The opportunity to participate in the Bastille Day celebration together. D. The desire to teach music in a virtual way to students around the world. 26. Why was “Silk Road Echoes” well received by the audience? A. It reflected the beauty of nature wonderfully. B. It featured traditional Chinese folk performance. C. It was a musical handshake between civilizations. D. It was an excellent musical instrument exhibition. 27. Which might be the most suitable title for the text? A. A Musical Journey Across Continents B. The Journey of Traditional Instruments C. Cultural Exchange in Paris: A Summer Adventure D. Silk Road Echoes: Bridging Cultures Through Music C A challenge of teaching mathematics rather than, say, history is that the homework is a lot harder to come up with. After all, “Was Henry VIII a good king?” is a reasonable question to ask either a classroom of nine-year-olds or a lecture theatre of postgraduates. But “Solve this quadratic equation (二次方程式)” would leave the classroom nonplussed and the lecture theatre unimpressed. Maths is learned by doing and designing a problem that is easy enough to be accessible, yet hard enough to be satisfying, is a big headache in itself. Partly for this reason, books that communicate how mathematicians think, but are aimed at those not already in the field, are both valuable and rare. Now Sir David Spiegelhalter, professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, has added to the category with The Art of Uncertainty. His new book will engage many more than just mathematicians, for its topic is universal: how to analyse chance, uncertainty and risk. If a new virus is running wild and the majority of deaths are among those who have received a newer vaccine (疫苗), is that evidence that the vaccination program is harmful? How much of top football teams’ performance comes down to luck rather than skill? Professor Spiegelhalter’s exploration of such questions is delightful. First, he uses them to illustrate broader ideas about how probability and statistics work. So a discussion of vaccine safety proceeds to Bayes’s theorem, a procedure for improving one’s judgment of probabilities as new evidence comes to light. The joy of Professor Spiegelhalter’s approach is that he reaches this deep truth through nothing more than some intuitive (直觉的) assumptions and very simple maths. Most important, though, is Professor Spiegelhalter’s skill at communicating these ideas. Much of probability and statistics can go against our intuition, and the maths behind it is often fearsome. But this is not a difficult book to read or understand. 28. What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. impressed B. inspired C. confused D. amused 29. What is the biggest selling point of The Art of Uncertainty according to the author? A. It casts light on math thoughts. B. It covers various topics. C. It makes sense to ordinary people. D. It satisfies maths professionals. 30. Why does the author mention Bayes’s theorem in paragraph 3? A. To prove the reliability of intuition. B. To reveal the book’s academic nature. C. To underline the deep truth of judgement. D. To demonstrate Spiegelhalter’s writing approach. 31. What is the author’s attitude toward Spiegelhalter’s writing style? A. Critical of its oversimplification. B. Admiring of its clarity and accessibility. C. Doubtful about its practical value. D. Neutral toward its academic depth. D A watched pot never boils, but time has wings when you’re having fun. The familiar saying has a basis in solid science — our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world. Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time. New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer. Martin Wiener, head of the research, says the finding helps reveal how the brain’s time-bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information. While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear, scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time. This is especially relevant for the brain’s visual system which, subjected to information overload, has to rank in order of importance, allowing for limited resources. Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others. To understand how this memorability of an image, along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder, might relate to our subjective sense of time, Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments, in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either “short” or “long”. The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing. The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it. Besides, the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer, even if they were all presented for the same amount of time. To find the underlying factor, the team fed the same memorability-ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain’s visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster. The explanation for why our brain’s faster processing would slow time is that it’s increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck, which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information, thus extending time. 32. What does the saying “A watched pot never boils” describe? A. The unnoticed passage of time B. The feeling that time hangs heavy. C. The hardship of preparing cuisine. D. The perception that time is confusing. 33. How does the brain’s visual system handle information? A. By setting priorities. B. By comparing similar scenes. C. By sorting randomly. D. By screening out complex images. 34. Which of the images seems to last longest if shown on the screen for an equal duration based on the study? A. B. C. D. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To contrast sayings with scientific findings B. To explain visual features’ effect on memory C. To describe brain’s information processing in time perception D. To explore link between image memorability and subjective time 第二节 (5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空自处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When you tend to talk too much, people undervalue what it is that you bring to the table, which means being too talkative can lead to issues with socializing and making friends.
