Motivational quotes. Videos of Steve Jobs saying absolutely anything. You do not have to scroll for long on Linked, a networking site seemingly for people at work, to find “inspirational” content. But much more practical insights can be found in an upcoming book called Inspire, by Leo Galinsky at Columbia Business School.
Take, for example, lots of firms use abstract terms like “change,” “innovate,” and “connect” in their mission statements. In the book, Mr. Galinsky refers to an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour. Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language — to create toys that “…make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile” — produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more general.
Galinsky also highlights the power of counterfactual thinking to inspire a sense of meaning. In a study he conducted with Laura Zaki of the University of California, Berkeley, participants reflected on important life events, like choosing a college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not taken place. This group attached greater meaning to the event in question. This technique can also strengthen employees’ ties to firms by having them imagine a world without their firm.
Perhaps the most striking idea in the book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In a study he conducted with other co-authors, some newly-registered Swiss citizens were asked to undertake a 10-to-15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not.
Managers play a huge role in motivating their people. But inspiration can be bottom-up as well as top-down. Don’t just tell your team what Jobs said. Ask why their jobs matter to them.
4. What does counterfactual thinking involve?
A. Reflecting on the past events. B. Focusing on positive outcomes.
C. Comparing the past with the present. D. Imagining life without something real.
5. How does Leo Galinsky mainly support his idea in the book Inspire?
A. By quoting. B. By citing study. C. By reasoning. D. By presenting data.
6. What conclusion can be drawn from the study with Swiss job seekers?
A. Individuals can be self motivated. B. Personal values matter most.
C. External motivation works. D. Reflecting is effective.
7. Who is the book Inspire intended for?
A. Business leaders. B. Toy designers.
C. Motivation seekers. D. Ordinary employees.
C
A new study led by two Stanford psychologists has revealed that watching the docudrama about the efforts to free a wrongly sentenced prisoner, people were more empathetic (共情的) toward formerly imprisoned people and supportive of criminal (罪犯) justice reform.
The idea for this research emerged from a conversation Jamil Eberhardt had with a producer of the documentary film Just Mercy. The producer posted a question: could watching the film change the way neurons (神经元) fired in people’s brains? Then Eberhardt connected her co-worker, Jennifer Kray to explore it.
The researchers asked participants before and after they watched the film to also watch a set of short videos of men imprisoned in real life. Participants were asked to rate what they thought these men were feeling as they shared their life stories. These ratings were then measured against what the men actually told the researchers they felt when recalling their experiences.
The results show that participants were more empathetic toward those who were formerly imprisoned than those in the control condition. Also, they were 7.66% more likely to sign a proposal supporting a law to restore voting rights to people with a criminal record.
The study highlights the power of storytelling, Eberhardt said. “Narratives move people in ways that numbers don’t.” In an early study, Eberhardt found that citing statistics on racial inequalities is not enough to encourage a closer examination of systems. Actually, presenting numbers alone can possibly backfire, making people more likely to support punishment policies.
As Eberhardt and Kray’s study has shown, what does change people’s minds are stories — a finding consistent with a previous study Kray conducted that found how watching a live theater performance can impact how people perceive social and cultural issues. “When people experience detailed personal narratives it opens their mind and heart to the people telling those narratives and to the groups from which those people come from,” Kray said.
8. What is the primary focus of the study by the two psychologists?
A. Analyzing criminal statistics. B. Exploring the impact of stories.
C. Measuring brain neuron activity. D. Comparing the effects of films.
9. Why did researchers measure participants’ ratings against the men’s actual feelings?
A. To test the accuracy of the men’s self-reports.
B. To assess the reliability of the video.
C. To evaluate the participants’ empathy.
D. To study the effectiveness of the film.
10. Why is an early study of Eberhardt mentioned in paragraph 5?
A To suggest storytelling with statistics.
B. To prove storytelling outperforms statistics.
C. To show the problem of numbers alone.
D. To support punishment policies.
11. Where can you most likely read the text?
A. In a psychology textbook. B. In a movie review.
C. In a news article. D. In a science journal.
D
The UK government finds itself at a crossroads, with tech companies urging it to loosen copyright laws. These firms argue that by giving AI systems unrestricted access to online content — free from the need to pay or seek permission — the nation could unlock economic growth. For a country eager to compete in the global tech race dominated by the US and China, the appeal is undeniable. Yet, this path may come at a cost.
Tech companies have long viewed copyright as a barrier. A few years ago, the Intellectual Property Office suggested an exception for data mining, claiming it would draw tech investment. Though the proposal was not adopted, the idea stays. The current government’s consultation on Al and copyright is too favorable to big tech.
Existing law clearly safeguards the rights of original works, from art to journalism, against unauthorized copying. The principle that original material cannot be ripped off and that creative people have rights over their work is widely understood and accepted. However, big tech often bypasses these rules, much like how US social media giants built their empires on content created by others. Creative individuals and smaller businesses are struggling to keep pace, most in danger of being left behind.
While the promise of technological advancement is hard to resist, the UK must weigh its options carefully. Artists such as Elton McCartney and Paul Clemence have been vocal in their defense of human creativity, and the House of Lords has taken steps to ensure that licenses for copyrighted material are actively sought. Ministers, dazzled (眩晕) by the prospect of new data centers and a seat at the AI table, should pause to reconsider their priorities. After all, big tech should not be given more rights over others’ work than the rest of society.
12. Why do tech companies want the UK government to relax copyright laws?
A. To beat the US and China.
B. For AI access to online material.
C. To follow copyright tradition.
D. For the popularization of technology.
13. What is the UK government’s current position on AI and copyright?
A. It permits data mining exception. B. It has dismissed relaxation ideas.
C. It is consulting but favors big tech. D. It is introducing new laws.
14. What does the underlined phrase “ripped off” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stolen. B. Preserved. C. Ignored. D. Processed.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards relaxing copyright laws?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
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。
Which is lighter in color: a grass lawn or a pine tree? The lawn, right? And how did you decide? Almost certainly by “seeing” them both in your mind, and comparing the two shades of green.
But not everyone can do that. Using this question research revealed aphantasia — an inability to form mental images — affecting 2-5% of the population. While most people use mental imagery to help them remember, aphantasiacs have to use other techniques. ____16____
____17____ Be observant about sounds, textures, tastes, and particularly smells. Practice bringing these to mind, and use them whenever you can to connect with your memories.
Another powerful method involves connecting memories to emotional experiences. ____18____ How did you feel when you visited the place, watched the film, or read the book that you’re trying to recall?
Think logically. ____19____ For instance, by analyzing a series of events, you might determine when something occurred. Similarly, retracing your steps and piecing through your day can help you figure out where you lost a possession.
Additionally, try to create muscle memory. If you’ve done something many times, it may be easier to stop trying to remember it, and just let it happen. ____20____
These are strategies that many people with aphantasia rely on, instead of image clues, and we can all learn something from them.
A. Start by observing everything around you.
B. These are the ways we can all learn and recall information.
C. One effective approach is to actively engage senses beyond vision.
D. To improve memory, focus on physical exercise as well as mental effort.
E. Feelings help to store long-term memories, so use them to boost recall, too.
F. Even without visual clues, you can also use reasoning to unlock the mysteries of your past.
G. If you can’t recall a password, for example, check whether your fingers can just type it automatically.

Steve adjusted the strap of his baseball glove as he dashed through the kitchen. “Mom, I’m going to Paul’s!” he announced, nearly knocking into the refrigerator. The screen door slammed behind him, creating an echo in the hot summer air.
This summer meant more than lazy days — their middle school coach had warned that making the freshman team required intense practice. That was why they would meet other boys on the field this afternoon.
Paul was waiting outside for Steve. “What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?” Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder.
Paul pointed at Thompson’s house across the street. “I have to clean Mr. Thompson’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help him. He’s kind of old.”
“Okay,” said Steve. “I’ll help you. We’ll get done quicker working together.”
The garage smelled of motor oil and aged wood. Sunlight filtered through dusty windows as they sorted gardening tools and moved paint cans. As Paul put a big box on a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope, its contents spilling across the concrete floor like autumn leaves. Paul bent down, breath catching as he recognized Benjamin Franklin’s strict face repeated on dozens of hundred-dollar bills.
“You’ve got to see this.” He pulled out a handful of bills and showed Steve.
“Whoa,” said Steve. “Where did you get this?”
Paul pointed to the shelf. “It just fell down when the box fell. There’s got to be a couple of thousand dollars here.” Paul looked past Steve to the garage door opening. Mr. Thompson was struggling to water his roses one-handed. “The coast is clear. If we take some, I bet no one will ever know.”
Steve furrowed his brow and shook his head. “Are you crazy? That’s stealing.”
“Well, I do a lot of chores for him and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing; it’s kind of payment for my hard work.”
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Steve grabbed the money from Paul’s hand.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍斯坦福大学不同类型宿舍的费用、入住要求及相关注意事项。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Housing Charges and Fees表格可知,Mirrielees公寓的住宿费为每季度$5,302,且无需餐饮计划(根据“Board Plan Rates”部分“except Mirrielees”),再结合表下内容“This fee covers the cost of providing a furnished room in an undergraduate housing, all utilities (except Internet) like coinless laundry and housing education staff assistance.(这笔费用包括在本科生住房中提供带家具的房间的费用,所有公用事业(互联网除外),如无硬币洗衣和住房教育人员援助)”可知此费用不包含互联网费用,半年为两个季度,因此最低费用为$5,302×2=$10,604。故选C项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Items to Bring中的“Identification: If you already have a student ID, bring it with you. If you do not, please bring a government-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, ID card, or passport.(身份证明:如有学生证请携带,如无则需携带政府签发的身份证件,如驾照、身份证或护照。)”可知,无论是否有学生证,身份证明文件是入住必须提交的材料。故选B项。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Moving into Housing表格中Graduate Housing部分“Single Students: September 13, 2024; January 3, 2025; March 28, 2025(单个学生 2024年9月13日;2025年1月3日;2025年3月28日)”可知单个学生秋季入住日期为2024年9月13日,冬季为2025年1月3日,春季为2025年3月28日;结合Moving into Housing部分中的“Students need to move in within two days of the posted arrival date unless other arrangements have been made with Housing Assignments.(学生需在公布的入住日期后的两天内入住,除非已与住宿分配部门另有安排。)”可知,选项中只有D项(2025年3月30日)在春季入住日期(3月28日)后的两天内(允许范围内)。故选D项。
B
Motivational quotes. Videos of Steve Jobs saying absolutely anything. You do not have to scroll for long on Linked, a networking site seemingly for people at work, to find “inspirational” content. But much more practical insights can be found in an upcoming book called Inspire, by Leo Galinsky at Columbia Business School.

Galinsky also highlights the power of counterfactual thinking to inspire a sense of meaning. In a study he conducted with Laura Zaki of the University of California, Berkeley, participants reflected on important life events, like choosing a college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not taken place. This group attached greater meaning to the event in question.

Perhaps the most striking idea in the book is that instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In a study he conducted with other co-authors, some newly-registered Swiss citizens were asked to undertake a 10-to-15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not.
Managers play a huge role in motivating their people. But inspiration can be bottom-up as well as top-down. Don’t just tell your team what Jobs said. Ask why their jobs matter to them.
4. What does counterfactual thinking involve?
A. Reflecting on the past events. B. Focusing on positive outcomes.
C. Comparing the past with the present. D. Imagining life without something real.
5. How does Leo Galinsky mainly support his idea in the book Inspire?
A. By quoting. B. By citing study. C. By reasoning. D. By presenting data.
6. What conclusion can be drawn from the study with Swiss job seekers?
A. Individuals can be self motivated. B. Personal values matter most.
C. External motivation works. D. Reflecting is effective.
7. Who is the book Inspire intended for?
A. Business leaders. B. Toy designers.
C. Motivation seekers. D. Ordinary employees.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍哥伦比亚商学院Leo Galinsky的新书《Inspire》中关于激励的实用方法,包括具体语言、反事实思维、自我激励等,并通过多个实验研究支持观点。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In a study he conducted with Laura Zaki of the University of California, Berkeley, participants reflected on important life events, like choosing a college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not taken place. This group attached greater meaning to the event in question. This technique can also strengthen employees’ ties to firms by having them imagine a world without their firm.(在与加州大学伯克利分校的劳拉·扎基共同开展的一项研究中,参与者回顾了重要的生活事件,比如选择大学。此外,还有一些参与者被要求思考如果这一事件未曾发生会怎样。这一组人对所讨论的事件赋予了更深刻的意义。这种技巧还能通过让他们想象没有自己所在公司的世界,来加强员工与公司的联系)”可知,反事实性思考包含想象没有某些真实事物存在的生活状态。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the book, Mr. Galinsky refers to an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour.(在该书中,加林斯基先生提到了一项实验,该实验表明了更具体语言所产生的效果。在该研究中,研究者要求各团队设计玩具,并为他们提供了行为指引的愿景陈述)”;第三段“In a study he conducted with Laura Zaki of the University of California, Berkeley, participants reflected on important life events, like choosing a college.(在与加州大学伯克利分校的劳拉·扎基共同开展的一项研究中,参与者回顾了重要的生活事件,比如选择大学)”可知,莱奥·加林斯基在《激励》一书中主要通过引用研究资料来支持其观点。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“In a study he conducted with other co-authors, some newly-registered Swiss citizens were asked to undertake a 10-to-15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not.(在他与另一位合著者共同开展的一项研究中,一些新登记的瑞士公民被要求进行一次 10 到 15 分钟的活动,即他们要思考对自己而言重要的价值观。与那些没有进行此项活动的人相比,他们找到工作的可能性要高出三倍)”可知,从针对瑞士求职者的这项研究中可以知道个人是能够自我激励的。故选A。
【7题详解】

A new study led by two Stanford psychologists has revealed that watching the docudrama about the efforts to free a wrongly sentenced prisoner, people were more empathetic (共情的) toward formerly imprisoned people and supportive of criminal (罪犯) justice reform.
The idea for this research emerged from a conversation Jamil Eberhardt had with a producer of the documentary film Just Mercy. The producer posted a question: could watching the film change the way neurons (神经元) fired in people’s brains? Then Eberhardt connected her co-worker, Jennifer Kray to explore it.
The researchers asked participants before and after they watched the film to also watch a set of short videos of men imprisoned in real life. Participants were asked to rate what they thought these men were feeling as they shared their life stories. These ratings were then measured against what the men actually told the researchers they felt when recalling their experiences.
The results show that participants were more empathetic toward those who were formerly imprisoned than those in the control condition. Also, they were 7.66% more likely to sign a proposal supporting a law to restore voting rights to people with a criminal record.
The study highlights the power of storytelling, Eberhardt said. “Narratives move people in ways that numbers don’t.” In an early study, Eberhardt found that citing statistics on racial inequalities is not enough to encourage a closer examination of systems. Actually, presenting numbers alone can possibly backfire, making people more likely to support punishment policies.
As Eberhardt and Kray’s study has shown, what does change people’s minds are stories — a finding consistent with a previous study Kray conducted that found how watching a live theater performance can impact how people perceive social and cultural issues. “When people experience detailed personal narratives it opens their mind and heart to the people telling those narratives and to the groups from which those people come from,” Kray said.
8. What is the primary focus of the study by the two psychologists?
A. Analyzing criminal statistics. B. Exploring the impact of stories.
C. Measuring brain neuron activity. D. Comparing the effects of films.
9. Why did researchers measure participants’ ratings against the men’s actual feelings?
A. To test the accuracy of the men’s self-reports.
B. To assess the reliability of the video.
C. To evaluate the participants’ empathy.
D. To study the effectiveness of the film.
10. Why is an early study of Eberhardt mentioned in paragraph 5?
A. To suggest storytelling with statistics.
B. To prove storytelling outperforms statistics.
C. To show the problem of numbers alone.
D. To support punishment policies.
11. Where can you most likely read the text?
A In a psychology textbook. B. In a movie review.
C. In a news article. D. In a science journal.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. D

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study led by two Stanford psychologists has revealed that watching the docudrama about the efforts to free a wrongly sentenced prisoner, people were more empathetic (共情的) toward formerly imprisoned people and supportive of criminal (罪犯) justice reform.(两位斯坦福大学心理学家领导的一项新研究表明,观看关于努力解救被误判囚犯的纪实剧后,人们对刑满释放人员更具同情心,并更支持刑事司法改革)” 以及后文多处提及故事叙述对人们观念的影响,如第五段“The study highlights the power of storytelling(这项研究强调了讲故事的力量)” 等可知,两位心理学家研究的主要焦点是探索故事的影响。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The researchers asked participants before and after they watched the film to also watch a set of short videos of men imprisoned in real life. Participants were asked to rate what they thought these men were feeling as they shared their life stories. These ratings were then measured against what the men actually told the researchers they felt when recalling their experiences.(研究人员让参与者在观看电影前后观看一组现实生活中被监禁男子的短视频。要求参与者对这些男子分享生活故事时的感受进行评分。然后将这些评分与这些男子回忆经历时实际告诉研究人员的感受进行对比)”可知,这样做的目的是通过对比参与者对被监禁男子感受的判断与男子实际感受,来评估参与者的共情程度。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“The study highlights the power of storytelling, Eberhardt said. “Narratives move people in ways that numbers don’t.” In an early study, Eberhardt found that citing statistics on racial inequalities is not enough to encourage a closer examination of systems. Actually, presenting numbers alone can possibly backfire, making people more likely to support punishment policies.(埃伯哈特说,这项研究凸显了讲故事的力量。“叙事能够以数字无法企及的方式打动人心。” 在早期的一项研究中,埃伯哈特发现,仅仅列举种族不平等的统计数据不足以促使人们深入审视社会体系。事实上,单独呈现数字可能适得其反,使人们更倾向于支持惩罚性政策)”可知,提及早期研究是为了证明讲故事比单纯列举统计数据更能改变人们的观念,即讲故事的效果优于统计数据。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。主要介绍了两位斯坦福大学心理学家的研究,该研究揭示了观看关于解救被误判囚犯的纪实剧,能增强人们对刑满释放人员的共情以及对刑事司法改革的支持,强调了故事叙述在改变人们观念方面的强大作用。所以短文来自“科学杂志”。故选D。
D
The UK government finds itself at a crossroads, with tech companies urging it to loosen copyright laws. These firms argue that by giving AI systems unrestricted access to online content — free from the need to pay or seek permission — the nation could unlock economic growth. For a country eager to compete in the global tech race dominated by the US and China, the appeal is undeniable. Yet, this path may come at a cost.
Tech companies have long viewed copyright as a barrier. A few years ago, the Intellectual Property Office suggested an exception for data mining, claiming it would draw tech investment. Though the proposal was not adopted, the idea stays. The current government’s consultation on Al and copyright is too favorable to big tech.
Existing law clearly safeguards the rights of original works, from art to journalism, against unauthorized copying. The principle that original material cannot be ripped off and that creative people have rights over their work is widely understood and accepted. However, big tech often bypasses these rules, much like how US social media giants built their empires on content created by others. Creative individuals and smaller businesses are struggling to keep pace, most in danger of being left behind.
While the promise of technological advancement is hard to resist, the UK must weigh its options carefully. Artists such as Elton McCartney and Paul Clemence have been vocal in their defense of human creativity, and the House of Lords has taken steps to ensure that licenses for copyrighted material are actively sought. Ministers, dazzled (眩晕) by the prospect of new data centers and a seat at the AI table, should pause to reconsider their priorities. After all, big tech should not be given more rights over others’ work than the rest of society.
12. Why do tech companies want the UK government to relax copyright laws?
A. To beat the US and China.
B. For AI access to online material.
C. To follow copyright tradition.
D. For the popularization of technology.
13. What is the UK government’s current position on AI and copyright?
A. It permits data mining exception. B. It has dismissed relaxation ideas.
C. It is consulting but favors big tech. D. It is introducing new laws.
14. What does the underlined phrase “ripped off” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Stolen. B. Preserved. C. Ignored. D. Processed.
15. What is the author’s attitude towards relaxing copyright laws?
A. Favorable. B. Neutral. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨英国政府在科技公司呼吁放宽版权法背景下的政策争议及潜在影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These firms argue that by giving AI systems unrestricted access to online content — free from the need to pay or seek permission — the nation could unlock economic growth.(这些公司认为,通过让人工智能系统不受限制地访问在线内容——无需付费或寻求许可——英国可以释放经济增长潜力。)”可知,科技公司希望英国政府放宽版权法的直接原因是让AI系统能够自由获取网络内容。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The current government’s consultation on AI and copyright is too favorable to big tech.(现任政府关于人工智能与版权的磋商对大型科技公司过于有利。)”可知,英国政府目前正在就人工智能和版权问题进行磋商,且其立场对大型科技公司过于有利。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Existing law clearly safeguards the rights of original works, from art to journalism, against unauthorized copying. The principle that original material cannot be ripped off and that creative people have rights over their work is widely understood and accepted.(现有法律明确保护从艺术到新闻的原创作品权利,禁止未经授权的复制。原创材料不可被ripped off、创作者对其作品拥有权利的原则已被广泛理解和接受。)”可知,法律保护原创作品权利免受未经授权的复制,由此可知画线短语的意思与“未经授权的复制”语义相近,结合语境可推断其意为“窃取”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Ministers, dazzled (眩晕) by the prospect of new data centers and a seat at the AI table, should pause to reconsider their priorities. After all, big tech should not be given more rights over others’ work than the rest of society. (被新数据中心的前景和在人工智能领域的一席之地所迷惑的部长们,应该停下来重新考虑他们的优先事项。毕竟,大型科技公司不应被赋予比社会其他群体更多处理他人作品的权利。)”可知,作者认为政府不应因新数据中心和人工智能领域的前景而盲目,不应给予大型科技公司过多使用他人作品的权利,由此可知作者不赞成放宽版权法。故选C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。
Which is lighter in color: a grass lawn or a pine tree? The lawn, right? And how did you decide? Almost certainly by “seeing” them both in your mind, and comparing the two shades of green.
But not everyone can do that. Using this question, research revealed aphantasia — an inability to form mental images — affecting 2-5% of the population. While most people use mental imagery to help them remember, aphantasiacs have to use other techniques. ____16____
____17____ Be observant about sounds, textures, tastes, and particularly smells. Practice bringing these to mind, and use them whenever you can to connect with your memories.
Another powerful method involves connecting memories to emotional experiences. ____18____ How did you feel when you visited the place, watched the film, or read the book that you’re trying to recall?
Think logically. ____19____ For instance, by analyzing a series of events, you might determine when something occurred. Similarly, retracing your steps and piecing through your day can help you figure out where you lost a possession.
Additionally, try to create muscle memory. If you’ve done something many times, it may be easier to stop trying to remember it, and just let it happen. ____20____
These are strategies that many people with aphantasia rely on, instead of image clues, and we can all learn something from them.
A. Start by observing everything around you.
B. These are the ways we can all learn and recall information.
C. One effective approach is to actively engage senses beyond vision.
D. To improve memory, focus on physical exercise as well as mental effort.
E. Feelings help to store long-term memories, so use them to boost recall, too.
F. Even without visual clues, you can also use reasoning to unlock the mysteries of your past.
G. If you can’t recall a password, for example, check whether your fingers can just type it automatically.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了心盲症(aphantasia)患者无法形成心理图像的特点,并提供了几种替代视觉记忆的记忆策略,包括调动其他感官、关联情感体验、逻辑推理和肌肉记忆等。
【16题详解】
前文“While most people use mental imagery to help them remember, aphantasiacs have to use other techniques.(虽然大多数人使用心理意象来帮助他们记忆,但心盲症患者必须使用其他技巧。)”指出心盲症患者需使用其他记忆技巧,后文“Be observant about sounds, textures, tastes, and particularly smells.(留意声音、质地、味道,尤其是气味)”具体描述非视觉记忆方法。由此可知,空处应引出多感官记忆策略。C项“一种有效的方法是积极调动视觉以外的感官”能承上启下,故选C。
【17题详解】
后文“Be observant about sounds, textures, tastes, and particularly smells. Practice bringing these to mind, and use them whenever you can to connect with your memories.(留意声音、质感、味道,尤其是气味。练习将这些元素融入脑海,并尽可能地利用它们来连接你的记忆。)”强调通过观察非视觉感官辅助记忆,空处应为总起句。A项“从观察周围的一切开始”与后文“观察声音、触感等”直接呼应,故选A。
【18题详解】
前文“Another powerful method involves connecting memories to emotional experiences(另一种有效的方法是将记忆与情感体验联系起来)”提到情感与记忆的关联,后文“How did you feel when you visited the place, watched the film, or read the book that you’re trying to recall?(当你参观那个地方、观看那部电影或阅读那本书时,你是什么感觉?)”进一步追问情感体验。E项“情感有助于存储长期记忆,因此也可用它增强回忆”是对该段主旨的概括,故选E。
【19题详解】
前文“Think logically”(有逻辑地思考)”提出逻辑思维的作用,后文举例“ For instance, by analyzing a series of events, you might determine when something occurred. Similarly, retracing your steps and piecing through your day can help you figure out where you lost a possession.(例如,通过分析一系列事件,你可以确定某件事情发生的时间。同样,回顾你的步骤,拼凑你的一天,可以帮助你找出你丢失了什么)”通过分析事件序列确定时间。F项“即使没有视觉线索,也可通过推理解锁过去”引起下文,故选F。
【20题详解】
前文“Additionally, try to create muscle memory. If you’ve done something many times, it may be easier to stop trying to remember it, and just let it happen.(此外,尝试创造肌肉记忆。如果你已经做过某事很多次,那么可能更容易停止尝试去记住它,而是让它自然发生。)”强调依靠肌肉记忆,空处承接上文,进一步进行解释。G项“比如忘记密码时,让手指自动输入”符合,通过具体事例进行解释,完美体现肌肉记忆的应用,故选G。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Steve adjusted the strap of his baseball glove as he dashed through the kitchen. “Mom, I’m going to Paul’s!” he announced, nearly knocking into the refrigerator. The screen door slammed behind him, creating an echo in the hot summer air.
This summer meant more than lazy days — their middle school coach had warned that making the freshman team required intense practice. That was why they would meet other boys on the field this afternoon.
Paul was waiting outside for Steve. “What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?” Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder.
Paul pointed at Thompson’s house across the street. “I have to clean Mr. Thompson’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help him. He’s kind of old.”
“Okay,” said Steve. “I’ll help you. We’ll get done quicker working together.”
The garage smelled of motor oil and aged wood. Sunlight filtered through dusty windows as they sorted gardening tools and moved paint cans. As Paul put a big box on a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope, its contents spilling across the concrete floor like autumn leaves. Paul bent down, breath catching as he recognized Benjamin Franklin’s strict face repeated on dozens of hundred-dollar bills.
“You’ve got to see this.” He pulled out a handful of bills and showed Steve.
“Whoa,” said Steve. “Where did you get this?”
Paul pointed to the shelf. “It just fell down when the box fell. There’s got to be a couple of thousand dollars here.” Paul looked past Steve to the garage door opening. Mr. Thompson was struggling to water his roses one-handed. “The coast is clear. If we take some, I bet no one will ever know.”
Steve furrowed his brow and shook his head. “Are you crazy? That’s stealing.”
“Well, I do a lot of chores for him and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing; it’s kind of payment for my hard work.”

【答案】
Steve grabbed the money from Paul’s hand. “Put it back!” he whispered fiercely, his eyes darting toward the open garage door. Paul’s face flushed red, but Steve continued firmly, “Your mom trusted us to help, not steal. What if he notices?” The bills felt heavy in Steve’s palm. Paul hesitated, glancing at Mr. Thompson’s bent figure among the roses. Finally, he sighed and helped Steve gather every fallen bill. As they carefully replaced the envelope, dust particles danced in the sunlight like guilty secrets settling back into shadows.
Before they left, Mr. Thompson handed Paul a brand new bat. “Found this in my attic,” he said, his eyes crinkling. “Thought you boys needed proper equipment for that freshman team.” Paul froze, the bat’s smooth surface reflecting his shame. Steve nudged him forward. “Th-thank you,” Paul stammered, throat tight. Mr. Thompson nodded knowingly. Later, when Paul confessed to his mother, she hugged him tightly. As they walked to the field, Paul suddenly understood that true rewards come through integrity, not shortcuts. When their practice swings echoed across the diamond, the bat felt lighter somehow, carrying not just wood but the weight of a lesson learned.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了Steve和Paul在帮邻居Thompson先生整理车库时意外发现现金,并面临道德选择的故事。Paul想拿走一些作为报酬,而Steve反对,认为这是偷窃。最终他们在良知的提醒下拒绝贪心,从中学会了诚实与责任。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Steve从Paul手中抓过钱。”可知,第一段可描写Steve阻止Paul私藏现金,两人将钱放回原处的心理斗争过程。
②由第二段首句内容“离开前,Thompson先生递给Paul一根全新的球棒。”可知,第二段可描写老人善意的馈赠让Paul深感羞愧,从而引发他内心的转变与成长。
