第三部分 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30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
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.
A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect”. That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
31. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?
A. She attracts the viewers to look back.
B. She seems mysterious because of her eyes.
C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.
D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.
32. Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?
A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.
B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.
C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.
D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.
33. What can we learn from the text?
A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.
B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.
【答案】31. D 32. A 33. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕列奥纳多·达·芬奇名画《蒙娜丽莎》中人物的凝视现象展开,通过介绍一项新研究的结果,解释了“蒙娜丽莎效应”的实际表现及其成因,同时探讨了人们普遍存在的误解。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.(众所周知,列奥纳多・达・芬奇最著名画作中的女子似乎会回望观察者,无论人们站在房间何处,她的目光都会跟随而来。但这一常识其实是错误的)”可知,人们普遍认为无论观者站在何处,蒙娜丽莎都会注视着他们。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.( Horstmann和他的合著者原本在研究这种效应在人工智能虚拟头像创作中的应用,期间Horstmann长时间观察《蒙娜丽莎》后发现,画中女子并未注视自己。为验证这并非个例,研究人员让24人在电脑屏幕上观看《蒙娜丽莎》的图像进行测试)”可知,Horstmann发现蒙娜丽莎并未注视自己后,为了确认这并非个例,即验证自己的观点,才进行了24人的实验。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.(他说,可能是人们渴望被注视,因此误以为画中女子在直视自己;也可能是最初创造“蒙娜丽莎效应”这一术语的人觉得这个名字很酷)”可知,人们觉得蒙娜丽莎在注视自己,可能是因为渴望被关注。故选C。
B
Earlier this year, artist Malik was about to post a selfie (自拍照)from the Brooklyn Bridge when he had the second thought. He wanted to share something different with his friends and the world.
Malik thought that the social media (媒体)had become impersonal and he wanted to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Therefore, the Reading Project was born. He began leaving piles of his books in famous New York City locations with a card containing simple instructions put inside each one: take a book, read it and share your thoughts with the artist by email.
The piles of books themselves can be seen as works of art, and so is the process (过程)of sharing. Unlike many of the things we share today, he likes to keep the project off social media. To keep the project pure (纯的),he doesn’t even turn around as he walks away once he has left a pile of books. When he has left them behind, he prefers email to be the only way that he learns what happens to them. The project has now taken him — and his books — all over the world, including London.
“I hope people pick them up and I also hope they read them and let me know their feelings on them. And even if they don't let me know, I just hope they will read the books,” Malik said.
He has received thousands of messages from people in more than 30 countries all over the world. For Malik, kooks are meaningless and lifeless if they gather dust(灰尘)on a shelf and are never read again. He intends to carry on with the project for some time,with a plan to visit Brazil and then decides whether he will continue it or not.
Most of all, lie loves the connection the books give him with strangers across the world, which is something that oilier posts could never achieve,
34. What hit Malik when he intended to post a selfie?
A. His selfie being not very attractive for a long time.
B. That social media made people close to each other.
C. His thoughts that it should be shared with more people.
D. That a new way could be used to connect with the world,
35. Why does Malik prefer others to connect with him by email?
A. He isn’t good at talking with people face to face.
B. It is a quick way to know what happens.
C. He doesn't want to be troubles by social media.
D. He thinks people needn’t know the process of sharing.
36. What can we infer about Malik's project from the text?
A. It won’t last long for a lack of books.
B. It was first started on Brooklyn Bridge.
C. It has improved the relation among strangers.
D. It has proved to be helpful to connect with others.
37. What is the best title for this text?
A. Read Books Offered by Malik

【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲的是艺术家Malik特殊的分享方式,通过分享自己的书籍而不是自拍照来与人们联系。他创造了阅读计划,把成堆的书放在纽约市著名的地方然后让读者通过电子邮件与他联系。通过这种方式, Malik与世界各地的人们都产生了联系。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的"He wanted to share something different with his friends and the world (他想与他的朋友和世界分享一些不同的东西 ) "和第二段中的"Therefore, the Reading Project was born(于是,阅读计划诞生了) "可知,Malik不想分享自己的自拍,而是想分享一些不一样的东西。故选D。

C
If you find yourself unable to go more than 15 minutes without reaching into your pocket, pulling out your smart-phone and checking your e-mail or WeChat, don’t panic. You are hardly alone. A recent survey shows that smart-phone users have developed “checking habit” — frequent checks of e-mail and other Apps. The checks normally lasted less than 30seconds and were often done every 10 minutes. On average, the study subjects check their phones 34 times a day. And the strangest part is that they don’t even realize they are doing it. “I hadn’t told my hand to reach out for the phone. It seemed to be doing it all on its own,” wrote Elizabeth Cohen, a medical correspondent for CNN who watched her right hand sneaking away from her side to grab her phone while sitting on the table at dinner with friends.
Loren Frank, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), explained that checking smart-phones is rewarding in some way. “Each time you get an e-mail, it’s a little bit exciting, because it means a positive feedback that you’re an important person,” Frank told CNN. Once the brain becomes used to this positive feedback, reaching out for the phone becomes an automatic action you don’t even think about consciously, said Frank. Professor Clifford Nass of Stanford University added that constantly checking your smart-phone is also “an attempt to not have to think hard but feel like you are doing something”.
However every coin has two sides. This habit can cause problems. Studies show that whenever you take a break from what you are doing to check your smart-phone, it is hard to go back to your original task, according to Adam Gazzaley, a neurologist at UCSF. That’s not the worst. A survey by South Korean marriage consulting agency Duo earlier this year shows that “checking habit” is destroying intimate relationships, reports The Korea Herald (先驱报). A bout half of the respondents said they had had fights with their boyfriend or girlfriend because of smart-phones. And 32.8 percent of them had fights because their partners habitually check their smartphones. In this respect, checking smart-phones at regular intervals is a bad habit. But just as an old saying goes, “Bad habits die hard.”
So, to get rid of the checking habit, Cohen suggests establishing phone-free times and zones.
38. With the words by Elizabeth Cohen in Paragraph 1, the author intends to show ________.
A. what a “checking habit” is
B. the common existence of “checking habit”
C. the unconsciousness of “checking habit”
D. the harm of “checking habit” to people
39. According to Loren Frank, checking smart-phones frequently is ________.
A. worthwhile in some way
B. unimportant for those busy people
C. necessary to think hard
D. likely to cause neurological diseases
40. According to Paragraph 3, what negative effects may “checking habit” have on students?
A. They might fail in their exams.
B. They might get distracted from their work.
C. They would make friends with unfamiliar people.
D. They would manage to break up with their close friends.
41. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. A smart-phone consumption survey.
B. The advantages of smart-phone checking habit.
C. The addiction to smart-phone checking.
D. The ways to quit smart-phone checking habit.
【答案】38. C 39. A 40. B 41. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智能手机用户的“查看习惯”,分析了这一习惯的成因、影响,并提出了相应的建议。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A recent survey shows that smart-phone users have developed “checking habit”—frequent checks of e-mail and other Apps. The checks normally lasted less than 30seconds and were often done every 10 minutes. On average, the study subjects check their phones 34 times a day.

It seemed to be doing it all on its own,” wrote Elizabeth Cohen, a medical correspondent for CNN who watched her right hand sneaking away from her side to grab her phone while sitting on the table at dinner with friends. (最近一项调查显示,智能手机用户已形成“查看习惯”:频繁检查邮件和其他应用程序。这类查看通常持续不到30秒,且每10分钟就会发生一次。研究对象平均每天查看手机34次,最奇怪的是他们甚至意识不到自己在做什么。美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)医学记者Elizabeth Cohen写道:“我没让手去拿手机,但它似乎自己就动了。”她曾在和朋友共进晚餐时,看到自己的右手偷偷从身侧伸出抓起手机。)”可知,作者引用Elizabeth Cohen的例子是为了说明查看习惯的无意识性。故选C。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Loren Frank, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), explained that checking smart-phones is rewarding in some way. “Each time you get an e-mail, it’s a little bit exciting, because it means a positive feedback that you’re an important person,” Frank told CNN. (加州大学旧金山分校(UCSF)的神经科学家Loren Frank解释说,查看智能手机在某种程度上会带来奖励感。“每次收到邮件时,都会有一丝兴奋,因为这意味着一种积极反馈,表明你是个重要的人。”Frank告诉 CNN。)”可知,Loren Frank 认为查看智能手机在某种程度上是有回报的。故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Studies show that whenever you take a break from what you are doing to check your smart-phone, it is hard to go back to your original task, according to Adam Gazzaley, a neurologist at UCSF. (加州大学旧金山分校的神经学家Adam Gazzaley表示,研究表明,每当你停下手中的事去查看手机,就很难再回到原本的任务上。)”可推测,查看手机会让学生在学习时注意力被分散。故选B。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章围绕智能手机用户频繁查看手机的习惯展开,先通过调查数据说明该习惯的普遍性和无意识性,再从神经科学角度解释其成因(积极反馈导致成瘾),最后阐述负面影响。选项C“The addiction to smart-phone checking(对查看智能手机的成瘾)”概括了文章主旨。故选C。
D
The Feather of Impermanence (无常)
Would you spend 30 minutes every day looking at a kitty and interacting with it? Even it is just an electronic kitty? Recently, Zhao Shuo @Zhao Shuo’s Journey to the West, a Tiktok riding broadcaster, and his cat Wukong, whom he met and adopted on his way to the west, became popular on the Internet.
Zhao Shuo’s videos showed towering snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and his fluffy cat, Wukong. Like a magnet, they appealed to millions of tired city people. For months, fans enjoyed their “digital pet,” sending warm greetings like “Goodnight, Wukong” across screens. Zhao Shuo kept cycling outdoors, covering 12,000 miles, half of which was with Wukong since their meeting in Kanas, Xinjiang. Many amusing little things happened on their journey, and Wukong’s arrival also made Zhao’s video clips more lively and vivid. In a world of constant wanting and stress, their simple journey shone brightly. People saw real innocence (天真) and freedom, making their own material lives seem pale.
Then came the switch. Wukong suddenly died of uncertain reasons, and even to this day, there are many doubts surrounding his death, which was so unacceptable that people kept desperately asking why — but their cries were about more than a lost cat. Wukong’s death felt like the death of innocence itself. We long for safety, happiness, and warmth to last forever, like solid rocks. Wukong’s unexplained end destroyed that dream like lightning. It showed life’s cruel truth: everything is fragile, and fate is unpredictable. It left a heavy emptiness.
Zhao Shuo drove 1,500 miles to bury Wukong back in Kanas. This long journey through grief was his valley of sorrow. The song” Dear You” cried out his pain — but the true strength from his action isn’t just tears. Facing severe loss, finding your way from the ruins, that is growth. By returning Wukong to Kanas Lake’s clear water, he touched life’s deepest truth: even when love is broken, its unseen bond remains strong.
Wukong, that light feather, was blown away by the wind of change. He took our dream of perfect safety with him. Yet, he also lifted a veil (面纱): trying to hold happiness tight is like grasping sand — it slips away.
True peace isn’t a high wall against life’s storms. It’s like Kanas Lake. After mountains, clouds, wind, and rain paint its surface, it stays clear and deep. It holds all changes yet still reflects the whole sky — embracing every cloud and bird.
Life’s meaning isn’t found in castles built up with material accumulation, or in chasing forever-happiness. It lives in the wide field of the heart. Our deepest freedom and widest peace are found simply, not by avoiding loss, but by walking through its storm. Losing Wukong taught us this: accepting impermanence is the path to inner calm and the truest freedom.
42. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word in the second paragraph?
A. impact B. threat C. encouragement D. attraction
43. The third paragraph primarily serves to ________.
A. illustrate the contrast between idealism and severe reality
B. mark a turning point in the narrative’s emotional tone
C. criticize public skepticism towards unexpected events
D. emphasize the medical mystery of Wukong’s death
44. What can be inferred from Zhao Shuo’s act of driving 1,500 miles to bury Wukong in Kanas?
A. His journey symbolized a process of facing up to sadness and acceptance.
B. He rejected the reality of impermanence through denial.
C. He sought public sympathy through a dramatic action.
D. His primary goal was to fulfill Wukong’s presumed last wish.
45. The author’s central message in the passage is that ________.
A. material pursuits unavoidably lead to emptiness
B. pet companionship is essential for emotional healing
C. true freedom arises from embracing the ever-changing nature of life
D. the fame gained from social media cannot relieve an enormous personal loss
【答案】42. D 43. B 44. A 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要通过讲述抖音骑行主播赵朔和他的猫悟空的故事,表达了真正的自由源于接受生活的无常。
【42题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Zhao Shuo’s videos showed towering snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and his fluffy cat, Wukong. (赵朔的视频里有巍峨的雪山、蜿蜒的河流和他毛茸茸的小猫悟空。)”和下文“they appealed to millions of tired city people (它们吸引着千百万疲惫的城里人)” 可推知这里把视频比作磁铁,磁铁是有吸力的,所以划线词与“attraction (吸引力)” 意思相近。故选D。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。前两段描述了赵朔和悟空的美好旅程以及他们受到粉丝喜爱的情况,氛围是积极的。而第三段“Then came the switch. Wukong suddenly died of uncertain reasons, and even to this day, there are many doubts surrounding his death, which was so unacceptable that people kept desperately asking why — but their cries were about more than a lost cat. (然后发生了转变。悟空突然死亡,原因不明,直到今天,关于他的死亡仍有许多疑问,这让人难以接受,人们一直在拼命地问为什么,但他们的哭泣不仅仅是为了一只走失的猫。)”画风突变,情感基调从之前的美好、温馨转变为悲伤、沉重,所以推断出第三段主要标志着叙述情感基调的一个转折点。故选B。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“This long journey through grief was his valley of sorrow. The song” Dear You” cried out his pain — but the true strength from his action isn’t just tears. Facing severe loss, finding your way from the ruins, that is growth. By returning Wukong to Kanas Lake’s clear water, he touched life’s deepest truth: even when love is broken, its unseen bond remains strong. (这段漫长的悲伤之旅是他的悲伤之谷。《亲爱的你》这首歌表达了他的痛苦,但他的行动所蕴含的真正力量不仅仅是眼泪。面对严重的损失,在废墟中找到自己的路,这就是成长。通过让悟空回到喀纳斯湖清澈的湖水中,他触及了生命中最深的真理:即使爱破裂,它看不见的纽带仍然牢固。)” 由此推断赵朔开车1500英里去埋葬悟空,这个旅程象征着他面对悲伤并接受现实的过程。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。作者通过讲述了悟空的死亡以及赵朔的应对,以及最后一句“Losing Wukong taught us this: accepting impermanence is the path to inner calm and the truest freedom. (失去悟空教会了我们:接受无常是通往内心平静和真正自由的道路。)”可推断出作者的中心信息是真正的自由源于拥抱生活不断变化的本质。故选C。

第四部分 写作(共两节,满分25分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
People suffering from depression (抑郁) or anxiety may make themselves healthy again by doing nice things for others, new research shows.
The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价).
The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week.
Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study.
“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.”
The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong.
“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said.
46. What did the social activities group do in the study? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________
47. What did the researchers find after ten weeks? (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________
48. Why did performing acts of kindness work so well? (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________
49. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean? (no more than 5 words)
___________________________________________
50. Of the three methods of reducing depression in the text, which one do you prefer? Please explain. (no more than 20 words).
___________________________________________
【答案】46. They planned social activities for two days a week.
47. People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups.
48. Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their won depression or anxiety.
49. Are the opposite of.
50. I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile.
Or: I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项新研究表明,患有抑郁或焦虑的人可以通过为他人做好事来恢复健康,并详细说明了研究的分组、过程、结果及意义。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段中“The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. (社交活动组被要求每周安排两天的社交活动。)”可知,社交活动组在研究中每周安排两天的社交活动。故答案为They planned social activities for two days a week.
【47题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study. (研究结果发表在《积极心理学杂志》上,显示三组受试者在研究结束后生活满意度均有所提高,抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低。)”可知,十周后研究人员发现三组受试者的生活满意度均有所提高,抑郁和焦虑水平有所降低,即三组受试者的情况均有所改善或三种方法均有效。故答案为People in all three groups felt better. Or: Their methods worked effectively on three groups.
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“The research also showed why performing acts of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. (研究还揭示了为什么行善效果如此之好:它帮助人们转移注意力,不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。)”可知,行善效果如此之好的原因是它帮助人们转移注意力,不再纠结于导致自身抑郁或焦虑的原因。故答案为Because it helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety.
【49题详解】
考查词句猜测。根据最后一段中划线词所在句“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with, so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that (我们常常认为抑郁症患者已经承受了太多,所以不想让他们再通过帮助他人来增加负担。但这些结果却与此run counter to)”可知,我们原本认为不应该让抑郁症患者帮助他人,但研究结果却表明这样做是有益的,即与我们的想法相反,所以“run counter to”意为“与……相反”。故答案为Are the opposite of.
【50题详解】
考查开放题。本题为开放题,言之有理即可。
示例一:根据倒数第三段中David Cregg 所说的“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people (与社交活动和认知重新评价相比,善意行为让人们感觉与他人的联系更紧密)”可知,我更喜欢行善,因为这是一种与他人建立联系的简单方式,能让每个人都微笑。故答案为I prefer to perform acts of kindness. It is an easy way to connect with others and make everyone smile.
示例二:根据第三段中“Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. (另一组被要求每周至少写两天日记,帮助他们认识到自己看待压力情境的消极方式,并以一种能够减少抑郁和焦虑的方式改变自己的观点。)”可知,我更喜欢认知重新评价,因为它能让我冷静下来,从不同的角度重新思考糟糕的情况。故答案为I prefer cognitive reappraisal. Because it makes me calm down and rethink the bad situation from a different perspective.

Li Jin
Reply to: Can the above summarize the contributions that China has made to humanity since ancient times?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The post presents four images symbolizing different facets of China’s contributions. The first image illustrates ancient China’s four great inventions: papermaking, printing, gunpowder, and the compass. These innovations have profoundly influenced global progress in communication, warfare, and navigation. The second image displays “The Four Books and The Five Classics”, foundational Confucian texts that have shaped Chinese culture, ethics, and governance for millennia. The third image features traditional Chinese cuisine, celebrated globally for its diverse flavors and culinary artistry. The fourth image highlights China’s aerospace achievements, reflecting its advancements in science and technology.
However, these images merely scratch the surface of China’s vast contributions. China’s impact spans across numerous fields, including literature, art, philosophy, and more. Thus, while the images offer a glimpse, they cannot fully summarize China’s extensive contributions to humanity since ancient times.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生根据给定图文“笔记”进行跟帖回复,阐述图片中的各项内容并回答问题。

A
It’s common knowledge that the woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s most famous painting seems to look back at observers, following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room. But this common knowledge turns out wrong.
A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle that’s 15.4 degrees off to the observer’s right—well outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them. In other words, said the study author, Horstmann, “She’s not looking at you.” This is somewhat ironic, because the entire phenomenon of a person’s gaze (凝视) in a photograph or painting seeming to follow the viewer is called the “Mona Lisa effect”. That effect is absolutely real, Horstmann said. If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead, even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at. As long as the angle of the person’s gaze is no more than about 5 degrees off to either side, the Mona Lisa effect occurs.
Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars (虚拟头像) when Horstmann took a long look at the “Mona Lisa” and realized she wasn’t looking at him. To make sure it wasn’t just him, the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the “Mona Lisa” on a computer screen.
So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer? Horstmann isn’t sure. It’s possible, he said, that people have the desire to be looked at, so they think the woman is looking straight at them. Or maybe the people who first coined the term “Mona Lisa effect” just thought it was a cool name.
31. What is generally believed about the woman in the painting “Mona Lisa”?
A. She attracts the viewers to look back.
B She seems mysterious because of her eyes.
C. She fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers.
D. She looks at the viewers wherever they stand.
32. Why was the experiment involving 24 people conducted?
A. To confirm Horstmann’s belief.
B. To create artificial-intelligence avatars.
C. To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa’s gaze.
D. To explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied.
33. What can we learn from the text?
A. Horstmann thinks it’s cool to coin the term “Mona Lisa effect”.
B. The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.
C. Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.
D. The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers’ judgment.

Earlier this year, artist Malik was about to post a selfie (自拍照)from the Brooklyn Bridge when he had the second thought. He wanted to share something different with his friends and the world.
Malik thought that the social media (媒体)had become impersonal and he wanted to connect with people in a more meaningful way. Therefore, the Reading Project was born. He began leaving piles of his books in famous New York City locations with a card containing simple instructions put inside each one: take a book, read it and share your thoughts with the artist by email.
The piles of books themselves can be seen as works of art, and so is the process (过程)of sharing. Unlike many of the things we share today, he likes to keep the project off social media. To keep the project pure (纯的),he doesn’t even turn around as he walks away once he has left a pile of books. When he has left them behind, he prefers email to be the only way that he learns what happens to them. The project has now taken him — and his books — all over the world, including London.
“I hope people pick them up and I also hope they read them and let me know their feelings on them. And even if they don't let me know, I just hope they will read the books,” Malik said.
He has received thousands of messages from people in more than 30 countries all over the world. For Malik, kooks are meaningless and lifeless if they gather dust(灰尘)on a shelf and are never read again. He intends to carry on with the project for some time,with a plan to visit Brazil and then decides whether he will continue it or not.
Most of all, lie loves the connection the books give him with strangers across the world, which is something that oilier posts could never achieve,
34. What hit Malik when he intended to post a selfie?
A. His selfie being not very attractive for a long time.
B. That social media made people close to each other.
C. His thoughts that it should be shared with more people.
D. That a new way could be used to connect with the world,
35. Why does Malik prefer others to connect with him by email?
A. He isn’t good at talking with people face to face.
B. It is a quick way to know what happens.
C. He doesn't want to be troubles by social media.
D. He thinks people needn’t know the process of sharing.
36. What can we infer about Malik's project from the text?
A. It won’t last long for a lack of books.
B. It was first started on Brooklyn Bridge.
C. It has improved the relation among strangers.
D. It has proved to be helpful to connect with others.
37. What is the best title for this text?
A. Read Books Offered by Malik
B. Connecting with Strangers by Sharing Books
C. Change the Relationship with Strangers
D. Make Meaningless Books Meaningful
C
If you find yourself unable to go more than 15 minutes without reaching into your pocket, pulling out your smart-phone and checking your e-mail or WeChat, don’t panic. You are hardly alone. A recent survey shows that smart-phone users have developed “checking habit” — frequent checks of e-mail and other Apps. The checks normally lasted less than 30seconds and were often done every 10 minutes. On average, the study subjects check their phones 34 times a day. And the strangest part is that they don’t even realize they are doing it. “I hadn’t told my hand to reach out for the phone. It seemed to be doing it all on its own,” wrote Elizabeth Cohen, a medical correspondent for CNN who watched her right hand sneaking away from her side to grab her phone while sitting on the table at dinner with friends.
Loren Frank, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), explained that checking smart-phones is rewarding in some way. “Each time you get an e-mail, it’s a little bit exciting, because it means a positive feedback that you’re an important person,” Frank told CNN. Once the brain becomes used to this positive feedback, reaching out for the phone becomes an automatic action you don’t even think about consciously, said Frank. Professor Clifford Nass of Stanford University added that constantly checking your smart-phone is also “an attempt to not have to think hard but feel like you are doing something”.
However, every coin has two sides. This habit can cause problems. Studies show that whenever you take a break from what you are doing to check your smart-phone, it is hard to go back to your original task, according to Adam Gazzaley, a neurologist at UCSF. That’s not the worst. A survey by South Korean marriage consulting agency Duo earlier this year shows that “checking habit” is destroying intimate relationships, reports The Korea Herald (先驱报). A bout half of the respondents said they had had fights with their boyfriend or girlfriend because of smart-phones. And 32.8 percent of them had fights because their partners habitually check their smartphones. In this respect, checking smart-phones at regular intervals is a bad habit. But just as an old saying goes, “Bad habits die hard.”
So, to get rid of the checking habit, Cohen suggests establishing phone-free times and zones.
38. With the words by Elizabeth Cohen in Paragraph 1, the author intends to show ________.
A. what a “checking habit” is
B. the common existence of “checking habit”
C. the unconsciousness of “checking habit”
D. the harm of “checking habit” to people
39. According to Loren Frank, checking smart-phones frequently is ________.
A. worthwhile in some way
B. unimportant for those busy people
C. necessary to think hard
D. likely to cause neurological diseases
40. According to Paragraph 3, what negative effects may “checking habit” have on students?
A. They might fail in their exams.
B. They might get distracted from their work.
C. They would make friends with unfamiliar people.
D. They would manage to break up with their close friends.
41. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. A smart-phone consumption survey.
B. The advantages of smart-phone checking habit.
C. The addiction to smart-phone checking.
D. The ways to quit smart-phone checking habit.
D
The Feather of Impermanence (无常)
Would you spend 30 minutes every day looking at a kitty and interacting with it? Even it is just an electronic kitty? Recently, Zhao Shuo @Zhao Shuo’s Journey to the West, a Tiktok riding broadcaster, and his cat Wukong, whom he met and adopted on his way to the west, became popular on the Internet.
Zhao Shuo’s videos showed towering snow-capped mountains, winding rivers, and his fluffy cat, Wukong. Like a magnet, they appealed to millions of tired city people. For months, fans enjoyed their “digital pet,” sending warm greetings like “Goodnight, Wukong” across screens. Zhao Shuo kept cycling outdoors, covering 12,000 miles, half of which was with Wukong since their meeting in Kanas, Xinjiang. Many amusing little things happened on their journey, and Wukong’s arrival also made Zhao’s video clips more lively and vivid. In a world of constant wanting and stress, their simple journey shone brightly. People saw real innocence (天真) and freedom, making their own material lives seem pale.
Then came the switch. Wukong suddenly died of uncertain reasons, and even to this day, there are many doubts surrounding his death, which was so unacceptable that people kept desperately asking why — but their cries were about more than a lost cat. Wukong’s death felt like the death of innocence itself. We long for safety, happiness, and warmth to last forever, like solid rocks. Wukong’s unexplained end destroyed that dream like lightning. It showed life’s cruel truth: everything is fragile, and fate is unpredictable. It left a heavy emptiness.
Zhao Shuo drove 1,500 miles to bury Wukong back in Kanas. This long journey through grief was his valley of sorrow. The song” Dear You” cried out his pain — but the true strength from his action isn’t just tears. Facing severe loss, finding your way from the ruins, that is growth. By returning Wukong to Kanas Lake’s clear water, he touched life’s deepest truth: even when love is broken, its unseen bond remains strong.
Wukong, that light feather, was blown away by the wind of change. He took our dream of perfect safety with him. Yet, he also lifted a veil (面纱): trying to hold happiness tight is like grasping sand — it slips away.
True peace isn’t a high wall against life’s storms. It’s like Kanas Lake. After mountains, clouds, wind, and rain paint its surface, it stays clear and deep. It holds all changes yet still reflects the whole sky — embracing every cloud and bird.
Life’s meaning isn’t found in castles built up with material accumulation, or in chasing forever-happiness. It lives in the wide field of the heart. Our deepest freedom and widest peace are found simply, not by avoiding loss, but by walking through its storm. Losing Wukong taught us this: accepting impermanence is the path to inner calm and the truest freedom.
42. What is the probable meaning of the underlined word in the second paragraph?
A. impact B. threat C. encouragement D. attraction
43. The third paragraph primarily serves to ________.
A. illustrate the contrast between idealism and severe reality
B. mark a turning point in the narrative’s emotional tone
C. criticize public skepticism towards unexpected events
D. emphasize the medical mystery of Wukong’s death
44. What can be inferred from Zhao Shuo’s act of driving 1,500 miles to bury Wukong in Kanas?
A. His journey symbolized a process of facing up to sadness and acceptance.
B. He rejected the reality of impermanence through denial.
C. He sought public sympathy through a dramatic action.
D. His primary goal was to fulfill Wukong’s presumed last wish.
45. The author’s central message in the passage is that ________.
A. material pursuits unavoidably lead to emptiness
B. pet companionship is essential for emotional healing
C. true freedom arises from embracing the ever-changing nature of life
D. the fame gained from social media cannot relieve an enormous personal loss

People suffering from depression (抑郁) or anxiety may make themselves healthy again by doing nice things for others, new research shows.
The study divided 122 people from central Ohio who had depression, anxiety or stress into three groups. The first two groups were asked to follow methods often used in cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为疗法) (CBT) for depression: planning social activities or cognitive reappraisal (重新评价).
The social activities group was instructed to plan social activities for two days a week. Another group was instructed to write a diary for at least two days each week that helped them recognize their negative ways of viewing stressful situations and change their views in a way that could reduce depression and anxiety. Members of the third group were instructed to perform three acts of kindness — big or small acts that benefit others or make others happy — a day, for two days out of the week.
Research volunteers followed their instructions for five weeks, after which their mental states were recorded. The researchers then checked with the volunteers after another five weeks to see if the methods were still effective. The findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that people in all three groups showed an increase in life satisfaction and a reduction of depression and anxiety levels after the study.
“Compared with social activities and cognitive reappraisal, acts of kindness make people feel more connected to other people,” said David Cregg, who led the study at the Ohio State University. “Social connection is one of the parts of life most strongly linked with well-being or happiness. Performing acts of kindness seems to be one of the best ways to create those connections.”
The research also showed why performing act s of kindness worked so well: It helped people take their minds off what causes their own depression or anxiety. This finding suggests that one view many people have about people with depression may be wrong.
“We often think that people with depression have enough to deal with so we don’t want to burden them by asking them to help others. But these results run counter to that,” Cregg said.
