Smarter TVs Samsung introduced a system called Samsung Vision Al for its line of OLED and QLED TV models. The company said the AI tools are meant to tur the TVs into more “intelligent” assistive devices and to help “simplify and enrich everyday living” for its users. One example is a feature that permits users to click on different screen elements to receive immediate information about what they see. The company said another tool makes it possible to activate live language translations on screens. Aircraft carrier vehicle Chinese automaker XPENG launched a system called a Land Aircraft Carrier. It includes a large transport vehicle with enough space to transport a flying car inside. The idea is for users to be able to launch the flying car from any where the vehicle can go. The flying car, planned to sell at a price of about $300,000, is fully autonomous and can carry two people at a time. XPENG said it will aim to increase production for all its vehicles in the coming year. Salt increasing spoon Japanese drink producer Kirin Holdings introduced a new product that aims to strengthen the taste of salt in food products without increasing the amount of salt. The spoon-shaped device uses electricity to increase saltiness. The company says the tool-which can be taken anywhere-sends a weak electric current through the top of the device to food. 21. What is a feature of Samsung Vision AI? A. It connects the TV to other smart home devices. B. It provides live language translations on-screen. C. It allows users to control their TV with voice orders. D. It adjusts the TV’s brightness based on room lighting. 22. What did Chinese automaker present at the 2025 CES show? A. A new gaming device. B. A novel model of aircraft. C. A new line of smart phones. D. A transport vehicle with its flying car. 23. Why did Kirin Holdings create the spoon? A. To reduce the cost of salt production. B. To increase the amount of salt in food. C. To replace traditional spoons by adding salt. D. To make the dish more tasty without adding salt. B Eton, a ten-year-old boy, used to go for a walk with his father every day on a nearby hill. One day the boy said, “Dad, let’s have a race today. One who touches top of hill first, wins the race.” Father agreed. Both of them started running toward hilltop. After running for some time, Father suddenly stopped. Eton asked, “What happened? Why did you stop suddenly? Have you accepted your defeat already?” “No, some pebbles (砾石) got stuck in my shoes. I stopped to remove them.” Father replied. “Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes too, but I don’t care. Once I touch top then I will remove them.” Eton replied. Saying this, the boy ran ahead fast. Father removed pebbles from his shoes and moved ahead. Eton had gone far ahead, but now he started feeling pain in his feet because of the pebbles stuck in his shoes and his running speed started to decrease. Gradually, Father came close to him. Seeing his boy. Father shouted from behind, “Why don’t you remove pebbles from your shoes first?” “But I don’t have time for this!” said the boy. In a short while, Father overtook him. Eton’s pain had increased a lot due to the pricking pebbles and now he was not even able to walk. He stopped there and screamed. “Dad, I can’t run any more.” Father quickly ran back and took off Eton’s shoes and saw that his feet were injured. Father took the boy back home and applied some medicine to the injuries. When pain subsided a bit, he talked to the boy, “Son, I told you to first remove your pebbles and then go on with the race.” “But I want to win the race first,” Eton said. “It is not like that son, if any problem come in our life, then we should not delay solving them by saying that we don’t have time right now. It would have taken you hardly one minute to remove that pebble but now to save that one minute, you will have to suffer from pain for one week”, Father said. 24. What was the reason for Eton’s not removing the pebbles? A. His overemphasis on the result of winning the race clouded his judgment. B. He firmly wanted to show his father that he could endure the pain. C. He didn’t know the most efficient way to remove the pebbles quickly. D. He was influenced by a competitive environment that valued speed above all. 25. What does “the pebbles stuck in the shoes” symbolize? A. Temporary hardships that can be overcome with determination. B. Small problems that, if ignored, can grow into major obstacles. C. Hidden dangers that can interrupt one’s journey if not detected early. D. Minor annoyances that should be endured for the sake of a greater goal. 26. Based on the story, what can we infer about Eton’s character? A. He is self-centered and believes he can overcome any difficulties with his own wisdom. B. He is sociable but refuses to listen to anyone’s advice even when it is clearly beneficial. C. He is lazy and tries to avoid any task that requires extra effort, like removing the pebbles. D. He is highly competitive but lacks the ability to think sensibly in the face of challenges. 27. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. It’s important to keep a competitive spirit in races. B. We should learn to endure pain when facing challenges. C. We shouldn’t neglect small problems in life and should solve them in time. D. Fathers play a significant role in guiding their children’s growth. C Last week, the Los Angeles Unified School District became the largest in the country to approve (批准) a districtwide cellphone ban (禁止). For teachers, this is great news. For many kids, however, it’s less welcome. Smartphones will undoubtedly distract students’ attention from exploring the unknown or close reading Shakespeare’s plays. A 2023 study by Common Sense Media showed that teens check their phones more than 100 times a day on average. On top of the hundreds of notifications (通知) lighting up screens and disturbing (扰乱) class lectures, teens now spend 4.8 hours on social media each day. Yet many parents remain wary of (持谨慎态度) banning phones during the school day. They are afraid that doing so would cut off the communication between them and their children-not only when picking up and dropping off children, but also in the event of an emergency. But that’s not enough of a reason to continue permitting device usage on campus. Schools have managed to function without smartphones for centuries-without their absence causing any disaster. For concerned parents, equipping their children with traditional cellphones, also known as“ dumbphones”, might be the best option. Schools, meanwhile, could ensure they have parental notification systems that work during emergencies. Additionally, there are already schools that have benefited from the ban. At Bethlehem Central High School near Albany, N Y, for example, academic progress has improved since a cellphone ban was applied last fall. Students are less distracted and more focused on their studies. And in states such as Flotida and Indiana, cellphone bans are moving from individual schools to statewide policy (政策). California’s leaders are also considering a statewide policy of their own. All the better; the next generation should learn to enjoy the life of the mind, not just the screen. 28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To question the necessity of phones in school. B. To provide reasons for Los Angeles’ ban on cellphone use in schools. C. To illustrate the consequences of teen’s phone addiction. D. To present the problems with banning teens’ cellphone use. 29. What does the author think of parents’ concerns about the ban? A. They are unnecessary and solvable. B. They are reasonable and understandable. C. They are worth considering for schools. D. They are just baseless assumptions. 30. What conclusion can be drawn about the ban from the last paragraph? A. It can really make a big difference. B. Its effectiveness remains to be seen. C. It is far from being a statewide policy. D. Its application should suit local conditions. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. To Ban or Not to Ban: It’s Not a Simple Question B. Keeping Phones from School? It’s Not That Easy C. No Phones in Schools: It Matters to Your Children D. Want Your Kids Focused? Put Your Phone Down First D Many important decisions come down to a choice between keeping the supposed safety and risking going out for a chance at getting something even better. Though risk-taking preferences vary between individuals, research with humans shows that we’re all generally less willing to take risks in situations with more ambiguous (不确定的) outcomes. “The finding should also apply to risk-taking in chimps (黑猩猩)，one of our closest evolutionary (进化的) ancestors,” said Haux, from Max Planck Institute for Human Development. To test the evolutionary roots of human risk preference, Haux and his colleagues measured 55 chimps living in reserves for their risky and ambiguous choices in an experimental setting. In each trial, they chose a ball from one of two pots. One pot was always safe because it contained two balls filled with one peanut each. In the risky condition, the second pot also contained two balls, but one was filled with two peanuts and the other with nothing. In the ambiguous condition, the balls in the second pot still contained two rewards or nothing, but the chimps couldn’t see the contents in the pot. On average, chimps chose the risky pot over the safe pot 55% of the time but chose the ambiguous pot over the safe pot in just 25% of trials. This suggests that chimps, like humans, prefer to avoid situations with ambiguous risks. “Structural similarities in risk preferences of humans and one of our closest living relatives are likely to reflect adaptations to similar changes in evolution. While many other factors may influence human risk-taking preferences, the parallels between human and chimp behavior suggest that evolutionary adaptations have helped set a consistent (一致的) baseline,” Haux said. Future work will compare how the risk-taking preferences of chimps living in reserves may differ from those living in zoos or in the wild, as well as how they compare to those of bonobos, another close evolutionary relative of humans, Haux added. 32. Why did Haux and his colleagues conduct the research on chimps? A. To compare their intelligence level with humans’. B. To prove that chimps are more willing to take risks. C. To explore the origins of human risk preference in evolution . D. To test the differences between humans and chimps. 33. Which illustrates the risky condition in the experimental setting? A B. C. D. 34. What does the underlined word “parallels” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Conflicts. B. Interactions. C. Misunderstandings. D. Similarities. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Haux is satisfied with the current research. B. Other animals will be studied for more evidence. C. The research topic will be shifted to another field. D. Bonobos will be studied because they live in the wild. 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。 In recent years, cotton bags have risen to popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to single-use bags. Many supermarkets have made the change. ___36___ As a study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark shows, a cotton bag needs to be used 20,000 times to offset (抵消) its overall impact of production on the environment. ___37___ According to this measure, for Venetia Berry, an artist in London who found she had at least 25 cotton bags, she would have to live for more than 1,000 years to offset her current bags. According to the Circular Laboratory, it requires between 10,000 and 20,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton. And only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile (纺织品) warehouses. Even when a cotton bag does make it to a treatment plant, most logos printed on them are not recyclable. ___38___ . That’s not to say cotton is worse than plastic. They both have disadvantages. ___39___ And plastic bags use fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases, never biodegrade (生物降解) and block the oceans. Buffy Reid, of the British knitwear label & Daughter, stopped production of her cotton bags in April 2021. ___40___ For example, British designer Ally Capellino replaced cotton with hemp (麻纤维). In fact, the simplest solution may be the most obvious: Not every product needs a bag. A. Cotton has dried up rivers for water use. B. Some companies are turning to other textile solutions. C. They’re extremely difficult to break down chemically. D. We are hardly aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. E. That is equal to daily use for 54 years for just one cotton bag. F. However, the production process requires using much more water. G. But the increase in the use of cotton bags may have created a new problem. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分45分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 When I was a child, my family resided in my Nana’s old house, encircled by lush gardens and blooming flowers.

Before that, we only earned 1,500,000 dollars a year. We have advertised and promoted our products at trade shows, on TV and in the newspaper, and customers really enjoyed our products and they were satisfied with our service, too. Our company has become better known, not only in our area but also in other cities. All of us know that what people say about our business to their family and friends is most important to our company. Any high technologies can’t compare with it. Besides increased sales, Alice has established a good working relationship with her colleagues. She recognizes others’ abilities and respects others’ opinions. I believe she has the ability to lead the sales department in the right direction. Therefore, she deserves the promotion and pay raise. OK, let’s welcome Alice Green to speak to us. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 A At the 2025 year’s CES show in Las Vegas, Nevada, crowds from around the world came to see the latest products built with artificial intelligence(Al) from more than 4,000 companies. Smarter TVs Samsung introduced a system called Samsung Vision Al for its line of OLED and QLED TV models. The company said the AI tools are meant to tur the TVs into more “intelligent” assistive devices and to help “simplify and enrich everyday living” for its users. One example is a feature that permits users to click on different screen elements to receive immediate information about what they see. The company said another tool makes it possible to activate live language translations on screens. Aircraft carrier vehicle Chinese automaker XPENG launched a system called a Land Aircraft Carrier. It includes a large transport vehicle with enough space to transport a flying car inside. The idea is for users to be able to launch the flying car from any where the vehicle can go. The flying car, planned to sell at a price of about $300,000, is fully autonomous and can carry two people at a time. XPENG said it will aim to increase production for all its vehicles in the coming year. Salt increasing spoon Japanese drink producer Kirin Holdings introduced a new product that aims to strengthen the taste of salt in food products without increasing the amount of salt. The spoon-shaped device uses electricity to increase saltiness. The company says the tool-which can be taken anywhere-sends a weak electric current through the top of the device to food. 21. What is a feature of Samsung Vision AI? A. It connects the TV to other smart home devices. B. It provides live language translations on-screen. C. It allows users to control their TV with voice orders. D. It adjusts the TV’s brightness based on room lighting. 22. What did Chinese automaker present at the 2025 CES show? A. A new gaming device. B. A novel model of aircraft. C. A new line of smart phones. D. A transport vehicle with its flying car. 23. Why did Kirin Holdings create the spoon? A. To reduce the cost of salt production. B. To increase the amount of salt in food. C. To replace traditional spoons by adding salt. D. To make the dish more tasty without adding salt. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了 2025 年拉斯维加斯 CES 展上的智能产品。 21题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Smarter TVs部分中“The company said another tool makes it possible to activate live language translations on screens.(该公司表示，另一项工具使得在屏幕上激活实时语言翻译成为可能)”可知，Samsung Vision AI的一个特点是提供屏幕上的实时语言翻译。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Aircraft carrier vehicle部分中“Chinese automaker XPENG launched a system called a Land Aircraft Carrier. It includes a large transport vehicle with enough space to transport a flying car inside.(中国汽车制造商XPENG推出了一种名为陆地航母的系统。它包括一辆大型运输车，内部有足够的空间运输一辆飞行汽车)”可知，中国汽车制造商在2025年CES展会上展示了一辆载有飞行汽车的运输车。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据 Salt increasing spoon部分中“Japanese drink producer Kirin Holdings introduced a new product that aims to strengthen the taste of salt in food products without increasing the amount of salt.(日本饮料生产商麒麟控股推出了一款新产品，旨在不增加盐量的情况下增强食品中盐的味道)”可知，麒麟控股创造这把勺子的目的是在不加盐的情况下使菜肴更美味。故选D。 B Eton, a ten-year-old boy, used to go for a walk with his father every day on a nearby hill. One day the boy said, “Dad, let’s have a race today. One who touches top of hill first, wins the race.” Father agreed. Both of them started running toward hilltop. After running for some time, Father suddenly stopped. Eton asked, “What happened? Why did you stop suddenly? Have you accepted your defeat already?” “No, some pebbles (砾石) got stuck in my shoes. I stopped to remove them.” Father replied. “Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes too, but I don’t care. Once I touch top then I will remove them.” Eton replied. Saying this, the boy ran ahead fast. Father removed pebbles from his shoes and moved ahead. Eton had gone far ahead, but now he started feeling pain in his feet because of the pebbles stuck in his shoes and his running speed started to decrease. Gradually, Father came close to him. Seeing his boy. Father shouted from behind, “Why don’t you remove pebbles from your shoes first?” “But I don’t have time for this!” said the boy. In a short while, Father overtook him. Eton’s pain had increased a lot due to the pricking pebbles and now he was not even able to walk. He stopped there and screamed. “Dad, I can’t run any more.” Father quickly ran back and took off Eton’s shoes and saw that his feet were injured. Father took the boy back home and applied some medicine to the injuries. When pain subsided a bit, he talked to the boy, “Son, I told you to first remove your pebbles and then go on with the race.” “But I want to win the race first,” Eton said. “It is not like that son, if any problem come in our life, then we should not delay solving them by saying that we don’t have time right now. It would have taken you hardly one minute to remove that pebble but now to save that one minute, you will have to suffer from pain for one week”, Father said. 24. What was the reason for Eton’s not removing the pebbles? A. His overemphasis on the result of winning the race clouded his judgment. B. He firmly wanted to show his father that he could endure the pain. C. He didn’t know the most efficient way to remove the pebbles quickly. D. He was influenced by a competitive environment that valued speed above all. 25. What does “the pebbles stuck in the shoes” symbolize? A. Temporary hardships that can be overcome with determination. B. Small problems that, if ignored, can grow into major obstacles. C. Hidden dangers that can interrupt one’s journey if not detected early. D. Minor annoyances that should be endured for the sake of a greater goal. 26. Based on the story, what can we infer about Eton’s character? A. He is self-centered and believes he can overcome any difficulties with his own wisdom. B. He is sociable but refuses to listen to anyone’s advice, even when it is clearly beneficial. C. He is lazy and tries to avoid any task that requires extra effort, like removing the pebbles. D. He is highly competitive but lacks the ability to think sensibly in the face of challenges. 27. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. It’s important to keep a competitive spirit in races. B. We should learn to endure pain when facing challenges. C. We shouldn’t neglect small problems in life and should solve them in time. D. Fathers play a significant role in guiding their children’s growth. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了伊顿和父亲赛跑时因未及时清理鞋中砾石而输掉比赛的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes too, but I don’t care. Once I touch top then I will remove them. (一些小石子也卡在我的鞋子里了，但我不在乎。一旦我到达山顶，我就会把它们取出来。)”以及最后一段中““But I want to win the race first,” Eton said. (伊顿说：“但我想先赢得比赛，”)”可知，伊顿不清理鞋中砾石的原因是他过于强调赢得比赛的结果而影响了判断。故选A。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It is not like that son, if any problem come in our life, then we should not delay solving them by saying that we don’t have time right now. It would have taken you hardly one minute to remove that pebble but now to save that one minute, you will have to suffer from pain for one week”, Father said. (“不是这样的，儿子，如果在我们的生活中出现了问题，我们不应该以现在没时间为借口拖延解决它们。把砾石取出来几乎不会花费你一分钟的时间，但现在为了节省那一分钟，你将不得不忍受一个星期的痛苦。”父亲说。)”可知，“鞋子里卡着的鹅卵石”象征着“小问题，如果被忽视，可能会变成大障碍”。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Some pebbles got stuck in my shoes too, but I don’t care. Once I touch top then I will remove them. (一些小石子也卡在我的鞋子里了，但我不在乎。一旦我到达山顶，我就会把它们取出来。)”以及最后一段中““But I want to win the race first,” Eton said. (伊顿说：“但我想先赢得比赛。”)”可知，伊顿有很强的竞争意识，但在面对挑战时缺乏理智思考的能力。故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中““It is not like that son, if any problem come in our life, then we should not delay solving them by saying that we don’t have time right now. It would have taken you hardly one minute to remove that pebble but now to save that one minute, you will have to suffer from pain for one week”, Father said. (“不是这样的，儿子，如果在我们的生活中出现了问题，我们不应该以现在没时间为借口拖延解决它们。把砾石取出来几乎不会花费你一分钟的时间，但现在为了节省那一分钟，你将不得不忍受一个星期的痛苦。”父亲说。)”可知，文章主要讲述了伊顿和父亲赛跑时因未及时清理鞋中砾石而输掉比赛的故事。这篇文章的主旨是“我们不应该忽视生活中的小问题，应该及时解决”。故选C。 C Last week, the Los Angeles Unified School District became the largest in the country to approve (批准) a districtwide cellphone ban (禁止). For teachers, this is great news. For many kids, however, it’s less welcome. Smartphones will undoubtedly distract students’ attention from exploring the unknown or close reading Shakespeare’s plays. A 2023 study by Common Sense Media showed that teens check their phones more than 100 times a day on average. On top of the hundreds of notifications (通知) lighting up screens and disturbing (扰乱) class lectures, teens now spend 4.8 hours on social media each day. Yet many parents remain wary of (持谨慎态度) banning phones during the school day. They are afraid that doing so would cut off the communication between them and their children-not only when picking up and dropping off children, but also in the event of an emergency. But that’s not enough of a reason to continue permitting device usage on campus. Schools have managed to function without smartphones for centuries-without their absence causing any disaster. For concerned parents, equipping their children with traditional cellphones, also known as“ dumbphones”, might be the best option. Schools, meanwhile, could ensure they have parental notification systems that work during emergencies. Additionally, there are already schools that have benefited from the ban. At Bethlehem Central High School near Albany, N Y, for example, academic progress has improved since a cellphone ban was applied last fall. Students are less distracted and more focused on their studies. And in states such as Flotida and Indiana, cellphone bans are moving from individual schools to statewide policy (政策). California’s leaders are also considering a statewide policy of their own. All the better; the next generation should learn to enjoy the life of the mind, not just the screen. 28. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To question the necessity of phones in school. B To provide reasons for Los Angeles’ ban on cellphone use in schools. C. To illustrate the consequences of teen’s phone addiction. D. To present the problems with banning teens’ cellphone use. 29. What does the author think of parents’ concerns about the ban? A. They are unnecessary and solvable. B. They are reasonable and understandable. C. They are worth considering for schools. D. They are just baseless assumptions. 30. What conclusion can be drawn about the ban from the last paragraph? A. It can really make a big difference. B. Its effectiveness remains to be seen. C. It is far from being a statewide policy. D. Its application should suit local conditions. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. To Ban or Not to Ban: It’s Not a Simple Question B. Keeping Phones from School? It’s Not That Easy C. No Phones in Schools: It Matters to Your Children D. Want Your Kids Focused? Put Your Phone Down First 【答案】28. B 29. A 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了洛杉矶学区禁止校园使用手机的情况，阐述手机的不良影响、家长担忧及禁令实施效果等。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Smartphones will undoubtedly distract students’ attention from exploring the unknown or close reading Shakespeare’s plays. A 2023 study by Common Sense Media showed that teens check their phones more than 100 times a day on average. On top of the hundreds of notifications (通知) lighting up screens and disturbing (扰乱) class lectures, teens now spend 4.8 hours on social media each day.(智能手机无疑会分散学生探索未知或精读莎士比亚戏剧的注意力。常识媒体2023年的一项研究表明，青少年平均每天查看手机超过100次。除了数百条点亮屏幕并扰乱课堂讲座的通知之外，青少年现在每天花4.8个小时在社交媒体上)”可知，第二段通过列举青少年查看手机的次数以及使用社交媒体的时长等，说明了手机对学生的不良影响，目的是为洛杉矶学校禁止使用手机提供了理由。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They are afraid that doing so would cut off the communication between them and their children-not only when picking up and dropping off children, but also in the event of an emergency. But that’s not enough of a reason to continue permitting device usage on campus.(他们担心这样做会切断他们与孩子之间联系——不仅在接送孩子的时候，而且在紧急情况下。但这不足以成为继续允许在校园使用设备的理由)”以及第四段“Schools have managed to function without smartphones for centuries-without their absence causing any disaster. For concerned parents, equipping their children with traditional cellphones, also known as “dumbphones”, might be the best option. Schools, meanwhile, could ensure they have parental notification systems that work during emergencies.(几个世纪以来，学校在没有智能手机的情况下也能正常运转——没有智能手机也没有造成任何灾难。对于忧心忡忡的家长来说，给孩子配备传统手机，也就是所谓的“非智能手机”，可能是最好的选择。与此同时，学校可以确保他们有在紧急情况下有效的家长通知系统)”可知，作者认为家长对于禁止手机的担忧是不必要的，并且是可以解决的。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Additionally, there are already schools that have benefited from the ban. At Bethlehem Central High School near Albany, N Y, for example, academic progress has improved since a cellphone ban was applied last fall. Students are less distracted and more focused on their studies. And in states such as Flotida and Indiana, cellphone bans are moving from individual schools to statewide policy (政策). California’s leaders are also considering a statewide policy of their own.(此外，已经有学校从这项禁令中受益。例如，在纽约州奥尔巴尼附近的伯利恒中心高中，自去年秋天实施手机禁令以来，学业成绩有所提高。学生们不那么分心了，更专注于学习。在佛罗里达州和印第安纳州等州，手机禁令正从个别学校推广到全州范围的政策。加利福尼亚州的领导人也在考虑制定自己的全州政策)”可知，禁令确实起到了积极的作用，也就是禁令真的能产生很大的影响。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Last week, the Los Angeles Unified School District became the largest in the country to approve (批准) a districtwide cellphone ban (禁止).(上周，洛杉矶联合学区成为全国最大的批准全区手机禁令的学区)”、最后一段“Additionally, there are already schools that have benefited from the ban. At Bethlehem Central High School near Albany, N Y, for example, academic progress has improved since a cellphone ban was applied last fall. Students are less distracted and more focused on their studies. And in states such as Flotida and Indiana, cellphone bans are moving from individual schools to statewide policy (政策). (此外，已经有学校从这项禁令中受益。例如，在纽约州奥尔巴尼附近的伯利恒中心高中，自去年秋天实施手机禁令以来，学业成绩有所提高。学生们不那么分心了，更专注于学习。在佛罗里达州和印第安纳州等州，手机禁令正从个别学校推广到全州范围的政策)”以及文章内容可知，本文开篇提到洛杉矶学区批准了一项全区范围的手机禁令，接着阐述了手机对学生的不良影响，以及家长对禁令的担忧和作者对这些担忧的看法，还列举了一些学校实施禁令后的积极效果，所以“学校禁止使用手机：这对您的孩子很重要”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D Many important decisions come down to a choice between keeping the supposed safety and risking going out for a chance at getting something even better. Though risk-taking preferences vary between individuals, research with humans shows that we’re all generally less willing to take risks in situations with more ambiguous (不确定的) outcomes. “The finding should also apply to risk-taking in chimps (黑猩猩)，one of our closest evolutionary (进化的) ancestors,” said Haux, from Max Planck Institute for Human Development. To test the evolutionary roots of human risk preference, Haux and his colleagues measured 55 chimps living in reserves for their risky and ambiguous choices in an experimental setting. In each trial, they chose a ball from one of two pots. One pot was always safe because it contained two balls filled with one peanut each. In the risky condition, the second pot also contained two balls, but one was filled with two peanuts and the other with nothing. In the ambiguous condition, the balls in the second pot still contained two rewards or nothing, but the chimps couldn’t see the contents in the pot. On average, chimps chose the risky pot over the safe pot 55% of the time but chose the ambiguous pot over the safe pot in just 25% of trials. This suggests that chimps, like humans, prefer to avoid situations with ambiguous risks. “Structural similarities in risk preferences of humans and one of our closest living relatives are likely to reflect adaptations to similar changes in evolution. While many other factors may influence human risk-taking preferences, the parallels between human and chimp behavior suggest that evolutionary adaptations have helped set a consistent (一致的) baseline,” Haux said. Future work will compare how the risk-taking preferences of chimps living in reserves may differ from those living in zoos or in the wild, as well as how they compare to those of bonobos, another close evolutionary relative of humans, Haux added. 32. Why did Haux and his colleagues conduct the research on chimps? A. To compare their intelligence level with humans’. B. To prove that chimps are more willing to take risks. C. To explore the origins of human risk preference in evolution . D. To test the differences between humans and chimps. 33. Which illustrates the risky condition in the experimental setting? A. B. C. D. 34. What does the underlined word “parallels” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Conflicts. B. Interactions. C. Misunderstandings. D. Similarities. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Haux is satisfied with the current research. B. Other animals will be studied for more evidence. C. The research topic will be shifted to another field. D. Bonobos will be studied because they live in the wild. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对黑猩猩风险偏好的研究及相关发现。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To test the evolutionary roots of human risk preference, Haux and his colleagues measured 55 chimps living in reserves for their risky and ambiguous choices in an experimental setting. (为了检验人类冒险偏好的进化根源，Haux和他的同事们在实验环境中测量了55只生活在保护区的黑猩猩的冒险和模糊选择)”可知，Haux和他的同事研究黑猩猩是为了探索人类风险偏好的进化根源。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One pot was always safe because it contained two balls filled with one peanut each. In the risky condition, the second pot also contained two balls, but one was filled with two peanuts and the other with nothing. (一个罐子总是安全的，因为它包含了两个装满花生的球。在冒险的条件下，第二个罐子里也有两个球，但一个里面装满了两颗花生，另一个什么也没有)” 可知，在有风险的情况下，第二个罐子里有两个球，一个球里有两颗花生，另一个球里什么都没有。故选B。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“Structural similarities in risk preferences of humans and one of our closest living relatives are likely to reflect adaptations to similar changes in evolution. While many other factors may influence human risk-taking preferences, (人类和我们最亲近的亲缘动物之一在冒险偏好上的结构相似性可能反映了对进化中类似变化的适应。虽然许多其他因素可能会影响人类的冒险偏好)”和“suggest that evolutionary adaptations have helped set a consistent baseline (表明，进化适应有助于建立一致的基线)”可知，此处说的是人类和黑猩猩之间的相似性，划线词和前文的similarities是对应的，意为“相似的”。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Future work will compare how the risk-taking preferences of chimps living in reserves may differ from those living in zoos or in the wild, as well as how they compare to those of bonobos, another close evolutionary relative of humans, Haux added. (Haux补充说，未来的工作将比较生活在保护区的黑猩猩与生活在动物园或野外的黑猩猩的冒险偏好有何不同，以及它们与人类的另一个近亲倭黑猩猩的冒险偏好有何不同)”可以推论出，研究人员还会研究其它动物以获得更多证据。故选B项。 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。 In recent years, cotton bags have risen to popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to single-use bags. Many supermarkets have made the change. ___36___ As a study by the Ministry of Environment and Food of Denmark shows, a cotton bag needs to be used 20,000 times to offset (抵消) its overall impact of production on the environment. ___37___ According to this measure, for Venetia Berry, an artist in London who found she had at least 25 cotton bags, she would have to live for more than 1,000 years to offset her current bags. According to the Circular Laboratory, it requires between 10,000 and 20,000 liters of water to produce one kilogram of cotton. And only 15 percent of the 30 million tons of cotton produced every year actually makes its way to textile (纺织品) warehouses. Even when a cotton bag does make it to a treatment plant, most logos printed on them are not recyclable. ___38___ . That’s not to say cotton is worse than plastic. They both have disadvantages. ___39___ And plastic bags use fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases, never biodegrade (生物降解) and block the oceans. Buffy Reid, of the British knitwear label & Daughter, stopped production of her cotton bags in April 2021. ___40___ For example, British designer Ally Capellino replaced cotton with hemp (麻纤维). In fact, the simplest solution may be the most obvious: Not every product needs a bag. A. Cotton has dried up rivers for water use. B. Some companies are turning to other textile solutions. C. They’re extremely difficult to break down chemically. D. We are hardly aware of the overuse of plastic in packaging. E. That is equal to daily use for 54 years for just one cotton bag. F. However, the production process requires using much more water. G. But the increase in the use of cotton bags may have created a new problem. 【答案】36. G 37. E 38. C 39. A 40.
