Architecture is amazing. It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment. It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive (过度敏感) to the built environment, to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice.
As much as I love this profession, it is very easy to get lost in architecture. I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else. Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane (清醒的) while I was becoming an architect. I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States. Looking back, cycling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.
I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice; East to west. Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isn’t as hard as you think.
I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence, Oregon. In the end it was 4,547 miles over the course of 77 days.
I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor, Maine to Portland, Oregon, which was a 4,886 mile ride over 90 days. At that time, I fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind, starting a whole new life and career in a new city. I ended up in Portland. After arriving in town on a bike, I eventually found a job, a place to live and an amazing dog.
I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America, but only to share how doing this has changed my life. Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isn’t everything. Thankfully I have also been very passionate about: my friends, traveling, bicycles, punk rock, technology, the internet, my dog, and even yoga. My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.
Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit, but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about. It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.
4. What’s the advantage of cycling according to the author?
A. Changing his negative attitude to architecture.
B. Keeping himself focused on his career all the time.
C. Enabling him to find solutions without training.
D. Making him a much better architect and person.
5. What does the author think of his two cross-country bike trips?
A. They are harder than what he expected before.
B. They show the benefits of riding with friends.
C. They give him some extraordinary experiences.
D. They guarantee him a new life and career in Portland.
6. What can be inferred from Paragraph 6?
A. Don’t get completely lost in your hobbies.
B. Don’t abandon hobbies for your profession.
C. Don’t feel ashamed of stopping your hobbies.
D. Don’t weigh your family against your profession.
7. In the last paragraph the author reminds us to ________.
A. take up the pursuit of becoming an architect
B. find what we are really passionate about
C. appreciate other people’s good intentions
D. avoid our career taking over other pursuits
C
Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie?
A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross.
The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect.
Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants.
These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns.
“The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.”
8. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage?
A. The economic benefits of tax compliance.
B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges.
C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations.
D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud.
9. What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering.
10. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting?
A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.”
C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.”
11. Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage?
A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties. B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals.
C. Promoting honesty pledges in international trade. D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements.

On September 7 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
12. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
13. Who are opposed to the project?
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
14. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. ____16____ In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.
If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. ____17____ It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings.
____18____ At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. ____19____
Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. ____20____ As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference.
A. It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support.
B. We might hope that in such relationships, the good would outweigh the bad.
C. In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind.
D. This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones.
E. If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact.
F. A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety.
G. After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported.

So, I jumped into the ____33____ water, not completely without hesitation, where a ____34____ combination of accomplishment and regret washed over me.

After our family settled in America we made our home on Pearl Street in New York’s Chinatown. Downstairs from our apartment, my parents managed a small Chinese bakery. My mother chose my name after our street address — Pearl Wong.
Like many strict Chinese mothers, mine constantly stressed the need to excel. “Be the best or be forgotten,” she’d say in her choppy English. She inspected my school grades like a detective, ready to scold me if she saw a B instead of an A.
One holiday, my brother got a chess set missing several pieces. Mom called it “worthless trash,” but my siblings and I couldn’t stop playing with it — especially me. I flooded everyone with questions: “Why can’t this piece move farther?” “Why does that one attack sideways?” My mother wiped flour from her hands and gave me the rulebook. “You figure it out,” she shrugged.
I studied every page, memorized strategies, and practiced until my fingers memorized the board. Before long, I was defeating my brothers effortlessly. Each win sharpened my skills and fueled my obsession to dominate.
When I began competing in tournaments, trophies (奖杯) started piling up. Mom transformed into my loudest cheerleader — in her unique style. She demanded perfection at every match and arranged each prize in the bakery’s display window. Though I begged her to stop, she’d wave me off. Soon, her cakes sat beside gleaming awards. “This my Pearl — chess genius!” she’d boast to customers, glowing with pride. But her boast made me feel like a puppet (木偶), as if my victories belonged to her, not me.
One weekend, Mom dragged me from shop to shop in Chinatown, not buying anything. “Meet Pearl Wong — chess queen of our neighborhood!” she announced to every store owner. Their forced smiles tightened as we stayed, their annoyance growing with each introduction.

Architecture is amazing. It has changed the way I look and interact with the world and my environment. It has trained me to be hyper-sensitive (过度敏感) to the built environment, to recognize problems and find solutions that an untrained eye would never notice.
As much as I love this profession, it is very easy to get lost in architecture. I get so focused that I have forgotten about everything else. Luckily my passion for cycling kept me sane (清醒的) while I was becoming an architect. I faced a lot of obstacles and challenges taking a bicycle ride across the United States. Looking back, cycling across the America was actually one of the smartest things I ever did.
I have actually bicycled across the continental USA twice; East to west. Atlantic Ocean to Pacific Ocean, both times. Bicycling across America isn’t as hard as you think.
I rode alone on my first trip in 2005 from Virginia Beach to the coast of Florence, Oregon. In the end it was 4,547 miles over the course of 77 days.
I left for the second trip in 2007 with my two best friends from Bar Harbor, Maine to Portland, Oregon, which was a 4,886 mile ride over 90 days. At that time, I fell in love with the idea of leaving the east coast behind, starting a whole new life and career in a new city. I ended up in Portland. After arriving in town on a bike, I eventually found a job, a place to live and an amazing dog.
I share all this not to convince anyone to go biking across America, but only to share how doing this has changed my life. Architecture has given me a wonderful life and career but it isn’t everything. Thankfully I have also been very passionate about: my friends, traveling, bicycles, punk rock, technology, the internet, my dog, and even yoga. My architecture background has definitely sweetened my relationship with all those things.
Becoming an architect is a noble pursuit, but you should keep pursuing everything else that you are passionate about. It will enhance your architecture career and ultimately make you a more interesting person, which in my opinion is really more important than being another silly architect.
4. What’s the advantage of cycling according to the author?
A. Changing his negative attitude to architecture.
B. Keeping himself focused on his career all the time.
C. Enabling him to find solutions without training.
D. Making him a much better architect and person.
5. What does the author think of his two cross-country bike trips?
A. They are harder than what he expected before.
B. They show the benefits of riding with friends.
C. They give him some extraordinary experiences.
D. They guarantee him a new life and career in Portland.
6. What can be inferred from Paragraph 6?
A. Don’t get completely lost in your hobbies.
B. Don’t abandon hobbies for your profession.
C. Don’t feel ashamed of stopping your hobbies.
D. Don’t weigh your family against your profession.

Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie?
A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross.
The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect.
Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants.
These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns.
“The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.”
8. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage?
A. The economic benefits of tax compliance.
B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges.
C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations.
D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud.
9 What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3?
A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering.
10. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting?
A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.”
C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.”
11. Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage?
A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties. B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals.
C. Promoting honesty pledges in international trade. D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是诚信誓言对人类行为的影响,揭示了通过精确措辞可以有效减少不诚实行为的心理机制及实际应用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie?(仅仅做出诚实誓言而没有任何惩罚,是否能让人更诚实行事,即使有理由撒谎?)”以及第二段中的“A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded.(最近发表在《自然·人类行为》上的一项研究表明,诚信誓言可以有效减少不诚实行为——但前提是措辞必须谨慎)”以及实验通过模拟税务申报场景,对比不同誓言的效力发现,明确的规则性誓言显著降低了作弊行为,这一过程涉及心理学机制,如承诺的主动参与和社会规范的影响,由此可知,研究的主要焦点是探讨诚信誓言的心理机制及其有效性。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges.(未做誓言而直接申报收入的对照组参与者的报税compliance平均为82.3%,而做出誓言的组别平均为86.2%)”可知,此处介绍了两个不同组别报税的情况,结合第二段中的“They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. (随后,他们需要报告自己的收入,这些收入将被征收35%的税。参与者可以毫无后果地撒谎,但他们被告知,所收税款将捐给红十字会)”可知,参与者要按照规定征收35%的税,他们可以毫无后果的撒谎,由此可知,实验中比较的征税情况应是纳税合规率,所以划线单词的意思与“合乎规则,遵守规则”意义相近。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). (明确的誓言如“虚报是被禁止的”比模糊的陈述如“我是诚实的人”更能减少作弊行为。次有效的誓言明确了不诚实的含义或应遵循的规则)”可知,明确的誓言比模糊的陈述更能减少作弊行为。由此可知,在学校考试中,最有效的誓言应具体说明规则,如“作弊违反学术规则”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns.(正如研究员肖尔·沙尔维所指出的:“措辞的精确性不仅仅是语法问题,它还是象征性姿态与真实行为改变之间的分水岭。” 该团队现在正在现实环境中应用这些见解,包括医院追踪医疗设备的归还情况)”可知,文中提到的实际应用是“在医院追踪医疗设备归还”。故选B项。
D
On September 7, 1991, the costliest hailstorm (雹暴) in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs. As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm cells with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Alberta — downwind of the hail project flights — worry that precious moisture (水分) is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand, who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years. “Basically, the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary-Edmonton urban area from hail,” Mr. Stienwand says, “but they’re increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo, North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,” Dr. Doswell says. “Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind? No one really knows, of course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, “It would be wise to stop cloud seeding.” In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
12. What does the project aim to do?
A. Conserve moisture in the soil. B. Forecast disastrous hailstorms.
C. Prevent the formation of hailstones. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
13. Who are opposed to the project?
A. Managers of insurance companies. B. Farmers in east-central Alberta.
C. Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
14. Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999?
A. To compare different kinds of seeding methods. B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C. To show the link between storms and moisture. D. To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
15. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right. B. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared. D. Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B

Hence, private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.(考虑到质疑的程度,斯廷旺德建议,“停止人工降雨是明智的。”在实践中,怀疑产生了相反的效果。由于缺乏有关其影响的科学证据,没有人成功地赢得了对人工降雨公司的诉讼。因此,私人气候工程可以在相对合法的安全条件下进行)”可推知,从最后一段我们能推断出人工降雨公司将继续存在。故选B。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support. ____16____ In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.
If this sounds familiar, then you too have frenemies, who psychologists call “ambivalent relationships”. These love-hate relationships could include a friend, a parent, a colleague or even a husband or wife. Their ambivalence can come in many forms. ____17____ It could be a partner love-bombing you one day, but fiercely critical the next, leaving you unsure about their true feelings.
____18____ At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships. Unfortunately, research suggests things aren’t so simple. A team at the University of Utah asked people to take a reaction-time test and they found that rapidly flashing the name of an ambivalent connection on a screen intensified stress response of participants. Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing. ____19____
Cutting ties with our ambivalent connections isn’t always possible or desirable if they are deeply mixed into our social network. So, what can be done? Simply being aware of the ambivalent nature of a relationship might offer some protection. We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies. ____20____ As importantly, be a little more mindful of any interactions with all our ties. Show others the appreciation and respect we feel for them, for accidental neglect could be taken as a sign of indifference.
A. It might be a friend who is often unavailable when you need his support.
B. We might hope that in such relationships the good would outweigh the bad.
C. In fact, even unconscious reminders of a frenemy can break our peace of mind.
D. This allows us to focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones.
E. If you feel someone too negative a presence in your life, you may decide to cut off contact.
F. A handful, however, stimulate quite different emotions—a mixture of eagerness and anxiety.
G. After all, the benefits of social connection come from feeling well understood and supported.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. B 19. C 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人际关系中的爱恨交织现象及其应对策略。
【16题详解】
上文“When I think of my friends, I am mostly filled with love and warmth: I simply can’t wait to see them again for their affection and support.(当我想到我的朋友时,我大多充满了爱和温暖:我迫不及待地想再次见到他们,得到他们的关爱和支持)”说明作者想到朋友时,大多充满了爱和温暖。结合下文“In the right mood, these individuals can deliver a fun-filled evening, but at the wrong moment, they can drain (耗尽) all my goodwill.(心情好的时候,这些人能让我度过一个充满乐趣的夜晚,但心情不好的时候,他们会耗尽我所有的善意)”推知,空处和前文为转折关系,说明有些朋友给作者带来的是不同的感受。F项中的However表示转折,“stimulate quite different emotions”与上文的“filled with love and warmth”形成对比,说明有些朋友会激起不同的情感。所以F项“然而,有少数人激起了截然不同的情感——渴望和焦虑的混合体。”符合语境。故选F。
【17题详解】
上文“Their ambivalence can come in many forms.(他们的矛盾心理可能以多种形式出现)”说明他们的矛盾心理有多种表现形式。空处承接上文,举例说明矛盾心理的一种表现形式。A项“可能是一个在你需要他支持时却经常不在身边的朋友。”符合语境。故选A。
【18题详解】
下文“At the very least, you would expect them to be better for us than our aversive (令人厌恶的) relationships.(至少,你会期望他们比我们厌恶的关系对我们更好)”说明人们期望这种爱恨交织的关系能带来一些好处。B项中的“We might hope”与下文的“you would expect”相呼应,“the good would outweigh the bad”与下文的“better for us than our aversive relationships”相契合。所以B项“我们可能希望在这样的关系中,好的一面会超过坏的一面。”符合语境。故选B。
【19题详解】
上文“Another study at Brigham Young University found that simply knowing an ambivalent connection was nearby as participants prepared to give a speech was enough to send their blood pressure rocketing.(杨百翰大学的另一项研究发现,当参与者准备演讲时,仅仅知道一个爱恨交织的人就在附近,就足以让他们的血压飙升)”说明即使是无意识的提醒也会让人血压升高。C项中的“even unconscious reminders”与上文的“simply knowing”相呼应,“break our peace of mind”与上文的“send their blood pressure rocketing”相契合,进一步说明这种关系的影响。所以C项“事实上,即使是无意识地想起一个爱恨交织的人,也会打破我们的平静。”符合语境。故选C。
【20题详解】
上文“We can manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves for the mixed feelings when interacting with frenemies.(在与爱恨交织的人交往时,我们可以管理自己的期望,并在心理上为这种复杂的情感做好准备)”说明我们可以管理自己的期望,为复杂的情感做好准备。D项中的“This allows us”承接上文,“focus on their good qualities and show empathy for the unpleasant ones”与上文的“manage our expectations and mentally prepare ourselves”相契合,说明这样做的好处。所以D项“这让我们能够关注他们的优点,并对不愉快的方面表示同情。”符合语境。故选D。

第二节(满分25分)
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。
After our family settled in America, we made our home on Pearl Street in New York’s Chinatown. Downstairs from our apartment, my parents managed a small Chinese bakery. My mother chose my name after our street address — Pearl Wong.
Like many strict Chinese mothers, mine constantly stressed the need to excel. “Be the best or be forgotten,” she’d say in her choppy English. She inspected my school grades like a detective, ready to scold me if she saw a B instead of an A.
One holiday, my brother got a chess set missing several pieces. Mom called it “worthless trash,” but my siblings and I couldn’t stop playing with it — especially me. I flooded everyone with questions: “Why can’t this piece move farther?” “Why does that one attack sideways?” My mother wiped flour from her hands and gave me the rulebook. “You figure it out,” she shrugged.
I studied every page, memorized strategies, and practiced until my fingers memorized the board. Before long, I was defeating my brothers effortlessly. Each win sharpened my skills and fueled my obsession to dominate.
When I began competing in tournaments, trophies (奖杯) started piling up. Mom transformed into my loudest cheerleader — in her unique style. She demanded perfection at every match and arranged each prize in the bakery’s display window. Though I begged her to stop, she’d wave me off. Soon, her cakes sat beside gleaming awards. “This my Pearl — chess genius!” she’d boast to customers, glowing with pride. But her boast made me feel like a puppet (木偶), as if my victories belonged to her, not me.
One weekend, Mom dragged me from shop to shop in Chinatown, not buying anything. “Meet Pearl Wong — chess queen of our neighborhood!” she announced to every store owner. Their forced smiles tightened as we stayed, their annoyance growing with each introduction.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Para. 1 Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Para. 2 When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Yet, she went on and on, totally ignoring my burning eyes. As she was ready to take me to the next stop, I erupted, “I wish you wouldn’t do that!” She grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes blazing with a mix of shock. In a trembling voice, she asked if being her daughter was something I found embarrassing. Though I knew I should stay silent, I heard myself yelling, “You are using me to show off!” She stopped talking, a blend of anger and hurt appearing on her face. Panicked and outraged, I fled in dead silence, not daring to look back.
When I finally returned to the bakery, my mother was putting away the trophies. Her hands moved swiftly yet quietly. I almost thought she was going to “give me color to see”. However, suddenly she spoke, “I’m sorry, Pearl. I didn’t mean to use you. I’m just too proud to be your mama.” Hearing that, I looked up, her wrinkled face telling a long story. Tears blurred my vision as I stepped forward, wrapping her in an American-style hug. For the first time ever, I felt like a real champion not only in my own heart but also in my mum’s heart.
