In the dim light of a small Parisian laboratory, Marie Curie bent over her workbench, her hands shaking slightly from tiredness. It was 1898, and she had spent countless nights analyzing pitchblende (沥青铀矿), a material believed to contain traces of radioactivity — a term she herself had created. Her husband Pierre, though doubtful at first, now stood beside her, sharing her devotion.
The couple’s goal was to separate a new element hidden within the ore (矿石). Months turned into years. Their lab, poorly aired and freezing in winter, became their second home. Worst of all, Marie’s fingers were often burned by acidic chemicals, and their savings shrank as they bought more raw materials. Yet, she refused to give up. “We must believe that we are gifted for something,” she wrote in her journal, “and that this thing must be achieved.”
One evening, as Marie stirred a boiling mixture, a faint blue glow caught her eye. Her heart raced. The substance gave off light without heat — a phenomenon never before documented. After four tough years, they had discovered polonium and radium. The scientific community erupted in both appreciation and doubt. Critics questioned how a woman, let alone a Polish immigrant, could achieve such a breakthrough. But Marie, unwavering, continued her research, even as her health worsened from radiation exposure.
In 1903, Marie and Pierre, alongside Henri Becquerel, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. She became the first woman to receive the honor. Yet, tragedy struck in 1906 when Pierre died in a traffic accident. Grief-stricken, Marie buried herself in work, later winning a second Nobel in Chemistry in 1911. Her discoveries paved the way for X-ray technology in World War I, saving countless lives.
4. What was the most challenging for Marie and Pierre in their research?
A. The lack of advanced equipment. B. The terrible working conditions.
C. The money problems and health risks. D. The doubt from the scientific community.
5. What was the reaction of the scientific community to Marie Curie’s discovery at first?
A. Total approval. B. Mixed responses.
C. Complete uncaring. D. Strong opposition.
6. Why did Marie Curie continue her research despite facing health problems?
A. To prove herself against doubters. B. To win more Nobel Prizes.
C. To save people in World War I. D. To fulfill her belief in her gift.
7. Which of the following best describes Marie Curie?
A. Careful and promising. B. Intelligent and fortunate.
C. Determined and self-confident. D. Generous and hard-working.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Worst of all, Marie’s fingers were often burned by acidic chemicals, and their savings shrank as they bought more raw materials. (最糟糕的是,玛丽的手指经常被酸性化学物质灼伤,而且随着他们购买更多的原材料,他们的积蓄也在减少。)”以及第三段中“But Marie, unwavering, continued her research, even as her health worsened from radiation exposure. (但玛丽坚定不移,继续她的研究,尽管她的健康因辐射暴露而恶化。)”可知,玛丽和皮埃尔在研究中面临的最大挑战是资金问题和健康风险。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The scientific community erupted in both appreciation and doubt. (科学界既表示赞赏,也表示怀疑。)”可知,科学界最初对玛丽·居里的发现反应是褒贬不一的。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Yet, she refused to give up. “We must believe that we are gifted for something,” she wrote in her journal, “and that this thing must be achieved.” (然而,她拒绝放弃。她在日记中写道:“我们必须相信我们是有天赋的,而且这件事必须完成。”)”可知,尽管面临健康问题,玛丽·居里还是继续她的研究,因为她相信自己的天赋,要完成自己的目标。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Yet, she refused to give up. “We must believe that we are gifted for something,” she wrote in her journal, “and that this thing must be achieved.” (然而,她拒绝放弃。她在日记中写道:“我们必须相信我们是有天赋的,而且这件事必须完成。”)”以及最后一段中“Grief-stricken, Marie buried herself in work, later winning a second Nobel in Chemistry in 1911. (悲痛欲绝的玛丽埋头工作,后来在1911年再次获得诺贝尔化学奖。)”可知,玛丽·居里是一个意志坚定、自信的人。故选C。
C
AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection.
Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest?
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza.
As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper.
8. What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging.
9. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to?
A. Using AI tools to do the translation.
B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction.
C. Making effort to learn a new language.
D. Studying a language aided by technology.
10. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with?
A. People should stretch their minds in life.
B. AI translation tools offer a good service.
C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying.
D. Language learning builds deep connection.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Language learning benefits learners alone.
B. Language learning is of value to human health.
C. We should reflect on language learning methods.
D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在人工智能可以降低学习外语的必要性这一议题上,一部分人充满担心,认为这会让一些重要的东西消失,有些人则因为没有对语言的需求而不那么担心。人工智能翻译的普及同时也会将人分化成两部分,一部分人会挑战自己继续学习语言,另一部分人则会选择不再学习。文章指出不应该仅从学习者的角度看待语言学习,其本身的内在价值更值得关注。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句的上文“Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. (长期以来,旅行一直是学习的动力——除非人们开始觉得人工智能工具提供了足够好的服务)”可知,此处介绍人工智能工具对人们学习语言的动力的负面影响。由此推知,划线词所在句表示“一些人会担心应用程序正在把语言学习变成一种越来越少的追求”,dwindling意思应该是“越来越少的”,与declining意思一致。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest? (作家Douglas Hofstadter认为,当人们通过机器交谈时,一些重要的东西将会消失。他描述了用普通话做一次犹豫的、困难的演讲,需要做很多工作,但最后会有一种成就感。谁会炫耀自己坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰呢?)”可知,Douglas Hofstadter的描述突出了学习语言伴随着的挑战自我、战胜自我的成就感,但是人们通过机器交谈的话,就无法体会这种感觉。由此可知,“坐飞机登上了珠穆朗玛峰”就好比“使用人工智能工具进行翻译”,前者缺失的是参与登山带来的成就感,后者缺失的是参与语言学习带来的成就感。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.” (其他人会带着钦佩和困惑看待学习一门新语言,就像他们看待极限耐力运动一样:‘如果你喜欢的话,对你来说很好,但对我来说有点痛苦。’)”可知,这一类人会认为学习一门新语言令人钦佩,但是不适合自己,没有必要尝试。由此可知,他们会同意“人工智能翻译工具提供了很好的服务”的观点。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper. (但是,仅仅关注学习者就忽略了语言的基本社会性质。这有点像分析亲密关系对心脏健康的好处,但忽视了这些关系本身的内在价值。当你试图用蹩脚的日语问路或用犹豫的德语讲笑话时,你是在与某人直接接触。当你的语言说得足够好,可以用完美的时机讲述一个故事,或者在一个论点上添加微妙的细微差别,这种联系就会更深。)”可知,我们不能仅关注学习者,语言本身的内在价值更值得关注,学习语言会加深我们与他人之间的联系。由此可知,我们应该从新的角度看待语言学习。故选D项。
D
Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.
Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted.
A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas, including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”.
Despite the alarming implications the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.
A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology.
12. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1?
A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people.
C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects.
13. Which is one of the main findings of the research?
A. Less ability to compare themselves to others.
B. Worse control over emotions.
C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement.
D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions.
14. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______.
A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants.
C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?
B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm?
C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year?
D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain?
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了天津师范大学关于短视频对大脑影响的研究,指出其虽有相关发现但存在局限性,最后建议人们反思媒体使用习惯。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘brain rot’ refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much ‘unimportant or unchallenging’ content online.(“脑雾”指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象)”可知,“脑雾”是一种由网络内容导致的精神状态。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions.(研究人员对111名短视频高频使用者的大脑进行扫描后发现:沉迷程度越深者,脑结构变异越显著。这些受试者眶额皮层(决策与情绪管理中枢)及小脑(调控运动与情绪区域)的灰质明显增厚)”可知,研究的主要发现之一是决策相关区域的灰质增多。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect.(这项研究的一大缺陷在于其单次检测法。若要证明长时间观看短视频会损伤大脑,更有效的方法应是对受试者观看不同时长视频前后的脑部变化进行对比。但该研究仅采集了单一时间节点的数据,既未追踪长期变化,也未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系)”可知,作者质疑该研究的设计主要是因为它未设置前后对照实验来验证因果关系,即未能建立因果关系。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “ brain rot ” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.(2024年度牛津词典将“脑雾”选为年度词汇,该词指因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象。尽管这个说法常被戏谑使用,但天津师范大学的最新研究表明,其中或许确有科学依据)”、第二段中“Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure.(研究人员对111名经常观看短视频的学生的大脑进行了检查,发现那些对短视频最着迷的学生的大脑结构有明显差异)”和倒数第二段“Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.(尽管研究结果令人担忧,但其本身存在局限性。类似关于科技对大脑影响的担忧早有先例——比如数字媒体威胁人类生存的论调,然而迄今都缺乏确凿证据佐证。英国巴斯大学彼得·埃切尔斯教授强调,目前并无可靠科学依据证明短视频会特异性地损伤大脑功能)”可知,文章介绍了关于“脑雾”的研究,说明因过度浏览网络“无意义或低智力”内容而导致的精神退化现象,但同时指出该研究存在局限性,没有确凿证据证明短视频对大脑有独特危害。故A项“Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?(脑雾:是真正的威胁还是被夸大的恐惧?)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选A项。

Protecting the Ecological Environment
As we all know, the ecological environment is crucial for the survival and development of all life on Earth. It provides us with essential resources such as clean air, fresh water, and rich soil. ____16____
Industrialization has led to increased emissions (排放) of pollutants into the air and water. Factories release large amounts of waste gases and liquids, which not only damage the quality of the air we breathe but also pollute rivers and lakes. ____17____ Vast areas of trees are being cleared for agriculture, logging, and urban expansion. This destroys the habitats of countless species and contributes to soil loss.
____18____ Governments around the world have been passing stricter environmental laws and regulations. These laws are effective in controlling industrial pollution. For example they set limits on the amount of pollutants that factories can release and require heavy fines as punishment.
Renewable energy sources are also being increasingly used. Solar and wind energy, in particular, are catching on. ____19____ Renewable energy sources can reduce our dependence on fossil (化石) fuels and lower carbon emissions.
In addition, individuals can also play a vital role in protecting the ecological environment. We can start with simple things in our daily lives, such as saving water and electricity. ____20____ We can also choose to use public transportation or bicycles instead of private cars.
Moreover, raising public awareness of environmental protection is essential. Only when everyone realizes the importance of protecting the ecological environment as well as takes action can we hope to have a sustainable future.
A. Deforestation is another major issue.
B. This helps to conserve energy and reduce waste.
C. Cutting carbon emissions is essential for our welfare.
D. After all, their cost may add too much burden to our lives.
E. They are clean and sustainable alternatives to traditional energy.
F. To address the threats, human beings are urged to take some measures.
G. However, human activities have been posing a serious threat to it recently.
【答案】16. G 17. A 18. F 19. E 20. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是生态环境的重要性及当前面临的威胁,如工业污染和森林砍伐,并提出了包括立法、使用可再生能源及提升公众意识在内的多种保护措施。
【16题详解】
根据上文的“As we all know, the ecological environment is crucial for the survival and development of all life on Earth. It provides us with essential resources such as clean air, fresh water, and rich soil.(众所周知,生态环境对于地球上所有生命的生存和发展至关重要。它为我们提供了诸如清洁空气、淡水和肥沃土壤等必需的资源)”以及下文的“Industrialization has led to increased emissions(排放) of pollutants into the air and water.(工业化导致了空气和水中污染物排放的增加)”可知,上文讲生态环境重要,下文讲工业化对生态环境的破坏,所以这里需要一个转折句引出人类活动对生态环境造成威胁的内容,G选项“However, human activities have been posing a serious threat to it recently.(然而,最近人类活动对生态环境构成了严重威胁。)”起到承上启下的作用,与上文为转折关系,引出下文讲述的人类活动对生态环境构成的威胁,符合语境。故选G项。
【17题详解】
根据上文的“Factories release large amounts of waste gases and liquids, which not only damage the quality of the air we breathe but also pollute rivers and lakes.(工厂释放出大量的废气和废水,这些不仅损害了我们呼吸的空气质量,还污染了河流和湖泊。)”以及下文的“Vast areas of trees are being cleared for agriculture, logging, and urban expansion.(大片的树木被砍伐,用于农业、伐木和城市扩张。)”可知,上文提到工厂排放污染物的问题,而下文提到了大片树木被砍伐,所以此空应是闸述破坏生态环境的另一个主要问题,A选项“Deforestation is another major issue.(森林砍伐是另一个主要问题。)”承接了上文,且引出下文讲述的森林砍伐的问题,符合语境。故选A项。
【18题详解】
分析语篇,此处应为本段的主题句,根据下文的“Governments around the world have been passing stricter environmental laws and regulations. These laws are effective in controlling industrial pollution.(世界各国政府一直在通过更加严格的环境法律和规定。这些法律在控制工业污染方面是有效的。)”可知,各国政府通过更严格环境法律法规、使用可再生能源以及个人在保护环境方面的作用等内容,由此可知,本段都是在讲应对威胁所采取的措施,F选项“To address the threats, human beings are urged to take some measures.(为了应对这些威胁,人类被敦促采取一些措施。)”引出采取措施这一内容,概括了本段的主题,符合语境。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据上文的“Renewable energy sources are also being increasingly used.

【答案】one possible version
As smartphone addiction becomes a growing concern, it is crucial to recognize its negative impacts. Excessive phone use not only harms physical health, but also affects academic performance and reduces face-to-face social interactions. Therefore, I am writing to call on everyone to get rid of smartphone addiction.
To begin with, students can set daily screen-time limits and disable unnecessary notifications to minimize distractions. Additionally, participating in offline activities like sports, reading, or club events can help reduce reliance on phones. Moreover, peer support plays a vital role — students should kindly remind each other to stay focused and maintain a balanced lifestyle.
Let us work together to create a campus environment where technology serves as a tool for growth rather than a barrier to our potential.

In the dim light of a small Parisian laboratory, Marie Curie bent over her workbench, her hands shaking slightly from tiredness. It was 1898, and she had spent countless nights analyzing pitchblende (沥青铀矿), a material believed to contain traces of radioactivity — a term she herself had created. Her husband Pierre, though doubtful at first, now stood beside her, sharing her devotion.
The couple’s goal was to separate a new element hidden within the ore (矿石). Months turned into years. Their lab, poorly aired and freezing in winter, became their second home. Worst of all, Marie’s fingers were often burned by acidic chemicals, and their savings shrank as they bought more raw materials. Yet, she refused to give up. “We must believe that we are gifted for something,” she wrote in her journal, “and that this thing must be achieved.”
One evening, as Marie stirred a boiling mixture, a faint blue glow caught her eye. Her heart raced. The substance gave off light without heat — a phenomenon never before documented. After four tough years, they had discovered polonium and radium. The scientific community erupted in both appreciation and doubt. Critics questioned how a woman, let alone a Polish immigrant, could achieve such a breakthrough. But Marie, unwavering, continued her research, even as her health worsened from radiation exposure.
In 1903, Marie and Pierre, alongside Henri Becquerel, won the Nobel Prize in Physics. She became the first woman to receive the honor. Yet, tragedy struck in 1906 when Pierre died in a traffic accident. Grief-stricken, Marie buried herself in work, later winning a second Nobel in Chemistry in 1911. Her discoveries paved the way for X-ray technology in World War I, saving countless lives.
4. What was the most challenging for Marie and Pierre in their research?
A. The lack of advanced equipment. B. The terrible working conditions.
C. The money problems and health risks. D. The doubt from the scientific community.
5 What was the reaction of the scientific community to Marie Curie’s discovery at first?
A. Total approval. B. Mixed responses.
C. Complete uncaring. D. Strong opposition.
6 Why did Marie Curie continue her research despite facing health problems?
A. To prove herself against doubters. B. To win more Nobel Prizes.
C. To save people in World War I. D. To fulfill her belief in her gift.
7. Which of the following best describes Marie Curie?
A. Careful and promising. B. Intelligent and fortunate.
C. Determined and self-confident. D. Generous and hard-working.
C
AI could make it less necessary to learn foreign languages. That is good news for travelers, bad news for soulful connection.
Travel has long been a motivator for study — unless people start to feel AI tools offer a good-enough service. Some are concerned that apps are turning language acquisition into a dwindling pursuit. Douglas Hofstadter, a writer, has argued that something important will disappear when people talk through machines. He describes giving a hesitant, difficult speech in Mandarin, which required a lot of work but offered a sense of achievement at the end. Who would show off taking a plane to the top of Mount Everest?
Others are less worried. Most people do not move abroad or have the kind of sustained contact with a foreign culture that requires them to put in the work to become fluent. Nor do most people learn languages for the purpose of humanizing themselves or training their brains. On their holiday, they just want a beer and pizza.
As AI translation becomes a more popular labour-saving tool, people will divide into two groups. There will be those who want to challenge their minds, put themselves in other cultures or force their thinking into new pathways. This lot will still take on language study, often aided by technology. Others will look at learning a new language with a mix of admiration and confusion, as they might with extreme endurance (忍耐力) sports: “Good for you, if that’s your thing, but a bit painful for my taste.”
But a focus on the learner alone misses the fundamentally social nature of language. It is a bit like analyzing the benefits of close relationships to heart health but overlooking the inner value of those bonds themselves. When you try to ask directions in broken Japanese or make a joke in hesitant German, you are making direct contact with someone. And when you speak a language well enough to tell a story with perfect timing or put subtle (微妙的) shading on an argument, that connection is still deeper.
8. What does the word “dwindling” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Growing. B. Lasting. C. Declining. D. Challenging.
9. What is the underlined part “taking a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest” compared to?
A Using AI tools to do the translation.
B. Doing the work that gives you satisfaction.
C. Making effort to learn a new language.
D. Studying a language aided by technology.
10. Which of the following will the “Others” in paragraph 4 agree with?
A. People should stretch their minds in life.
B. AI translation tools offer a good service.
C. Extreme endurance sports are worth trying.
D. Language learning builds deep connection.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Language learning benefits learners alone.
B. Language learning is of value to human health.
C. We should reflect on language learning methods.
D. We should adopt a new angle on language learning.
D
Named as the Oxford Word of the Year for 2024, “brain rot” refers to the supposed decline of a person’s mental condition as a result of watching too much “unimportant or unchallenging” content online. While often used jokingly, a new study from Tianjin Normal University suggests there may be some truth to it.
Researchers examined the brains of 111 students, all regular viewers of short videos, and found that those most attached to them had noticeable differences in brain structure. They had increased grey matter in the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the brain area linked to decision-making and emotional management, and in the cerebellum, which plays a role in movement and emotions. The researchers proposed that regularly watching these videos might strengthen brain-related pathways, making the habit more deeply rooted.
A second examination showed increased synchronization (同步) in many brain areas including those involved in self-control and self-reflection. This could indicate difficulties stopping videos and increased social comparison. Participants (参与者) who scored higher on a questionnaire measuring “envy” also showed stronger links between video addiction and brain differences, suggesting that either “envy” drives social media use or that extended video-viewing promotes “envy”.
Despite the alarming implications, the study has limitations. Similar concerns about technology’s impact on the brain have surfaced before, such as claims that digital media have posed an existential threat. Yet, no conclusive evidence has proven these fears true. Professor Peter Etchells argues there’s no strong science showing short videos uniquely harm the brain.
A big weakness of the study is its one-time testing method. If the goal were to prove that watching hours of short videos harms the brain, a more effective approach would be to examine participants’ brains before and after they watched different amounts of these videos. But this study only looked at data from one moment in time, without comparing changes over time. There was no before-and-after comparison to show cause and effect. Thus, a healthier approach is to reflect on media habits, making mindful choices while appreciating the benefits of technology.
12. What is “brain rot” according to paragraph 1?
A. A real disease proven by doctors. B. A popular trend among young people.
C. A mental state caused by online content. D. A new concern about short videos’ effects.
13. Which is one of the main findings of the research?
A. Less ability to compare themselves to others.
B. Worse control over emotions.
C. Harm to brain parts controlling movement.
D. More grey matter in areas for making decisions.
14. The author questions the study’s design primarily for its ______.
A. overemphasis on envy-related data. B. lack of different types of participants.
C. failure to establish cause and effect. D. reliance on subjective measurements.
15. Which is the best title for the text?
A. Brain Rot: Real Threat or Overstated Fear?
B. Social Media: Mental Activation or Brain Harm?
C. Why “Brain Rot” Became Word of the Year?
D. How Social Media Reshapes the Human Brain?
