You’re sitting at a desk, studying intently, and then: wham! Unrelated thoughts — breakfast this morning, the funny movie you saw last week, or that upcoming presentation you’ re nervous about — invade your mind. Or maybe you’ re totally immersed in your work, but your roommates barge into your study space at an inconvenient moment. These internal and external distractions cause us to lose focus. The techniques outlined below will help you maximize your focused study time. ● _______________________________________ Unless your friends happen to be good study partners, study alone. If you’re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter (杂物). Post a sign on your door telling roommates or family members to stay away. If your home environment is distracting, gather your study supplies and head over to a comfortable study spot. If distracting background noises bother you, pick up some noise-canceling headphones and turn on a study playlist (preferably instrumental) or white noise. Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don’t have to pause mid-session to make a change. ● _______________________________________ If you’re studying attentively, you’re going to get thirsty. Grab a beverage before you open the book. You may even need a power snack while you’ re working, so grab some brain food, too. Use the bathroom, put on comfortable clothes (but not too cozy), and set the air / heat to the temperature that best suits you. If you anticipate (预料) your physical needs before you start studying, you’ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain. ● _______________________________________ Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. If you’re a morning person, that means you should be studying as early as possible. If you’re a night owl, choose an evening period. If you aren’t sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place? When does your brain feel most effective in general? Pencil in study sessions during these periods, and stick with them. 21. The purpose of creating the best environment for studying is _______. A. to find a good study partner B. to avoid possible white noise C. to ensure a full-session study D. to make yourself comfortable 22. What should you do if you’re uncertain about your best energy periods? A. Predict the most energized and focused time. B. Stick with a schedule regardless of energy levels. C. Reflect on previous rewarding learning experiences. D. Choose morning study sessions instead of evening ones. 23. Which subheadings can best fit the three parts respectively? ①Find a Study Partner for Greater Progress ②Choose Your Study Environment Wisely ③Get Ready for Your Physical Needs ④Respond to Your Internal Worries ⑤Study During Your Peak Brain Times ⑥Conduct Reflections Periodically A. ①③⑤ B. ①④⑥ C. ②④⑥ D. ②③⑤ 【答案】21. C 22. C 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一些帮助人们在学习时集中注意力、减少干扰的方法，包括营造良好学习环境、提前满足生理需求以及在高效时段学习等。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一点建议中“Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don’t have to pause mid-session to make a change. (在打开书本之前，营造一个尽可能最佳的学习环境，这样你就无需在学习中途停下来进行调整。)”可知，营造最佳学习环境的目的是为了确保能够持续一整节课的学习，避免中途停下来去调整。故选C项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三点建议中“If you aren’t sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place? When does your brain feel most effective in general? (如果你不确定什么时间对你最有效，想想你最成功学习经历。它们发生在一天中的什么时候？一般来说，你的大脑什么时候最有效率？)”可知，如果你不确定自己的最佳精力时段，可以回想以前成功的学习经历，从而找到适合自己的学习时间。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一部分中“Unless your friends happen to be good study partners, study alone. If you’re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter (杂物). (除非你的朋友恰好是好的学习伙伴，否则就独自学习。如果你在家学习，选择一个杂物少的安静房间。)”可知，第一部分主要讲述了如何选择合适的学习环境，因此②“Choose Your Study Environment Wisely (明智地选择你的学习环境)”适合作为这部分的标题；根据第二部分中“If you anticipate (预料) your physical needs before you start studying, you’ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain. (如果你在学习前预料到自己的生理需求，你就不太可能离开座位，失去好不容易才获得的专注力。)”可知，第二部分主要讲述了在学习前要满足自己的生理需求，因此③“Get Ready for Your Physical Needs (为你的生理需求做好准备)”适合作为这部分的标题；根据第三部分中“Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. (将最具挑战性的学习安排在一天中精力最充沛的时候，这时你预计自己会感到精力充沛、注意力集中。)”可知，第三部分主要讲述了要在大脑状态最佳时学习，因此⑤“Study During Your Peak Brain Times (在大脑状态最佳时学习)”适合作为这部分的标题。故选D项。 B Satellite images and the latest scientific studies may accurately inform us how quickly the world’s glaciers are melting. But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 24. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 25. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 26. The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 27. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了美国探险家加勒特·费舍尔（Garrett Fisher）通过驾驶老式飞机，近距离拍摄正在消失的冰川，以记录它们的美丽并唤起人们对气候变化危机的关注。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate the beauty of glaciers. (但美国冒险家加勒特·费舍尔的使命不同：去揭示正在消失的冰川的“灵魂” —— 因为他认为卫星图像无法复制冰川的美。)”以及第二段中““With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” (“有了飞机，我就能‘站’在人类无法站立的地方，”他说。“你可以从近距离俯瞰冰川的灵魂。”)”可知，费舍尔乘坐飞机拍摄冰川是为了近距离捕捉冰川的美丽。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” (他必须等待阳光，然后要勇敢面对狂风和变幻莫测的气流，还要应对缺氧问题，才能在伯尔尼阿尔卑斯山脉攀登至14,000英尺的高度。“等待合适的天气需要很长时间。一般的经验是，风速不能超过20节，但我曾在风速高达50节的情况下登山。在高海拔地区，如果你处于山的合适一侧，风往往不会那么猛烈。所以这很像在驾驭巨浪：如果你待在合适的位置，一切就都没问题。”)”可知，费舍尔在拍摄过程中，需要应对高海拔、强风和缺氧等挑战，但他能够巧妙地应对这些挑战，说明他熟练地应对了高空飞行。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. (费舍尔的飞行展示了冰川的快速融化。“我所看到的一切在三代人之后都将消失。”他现在成立了一个非营利组织“全球冰川倡议”，旨在收集冰川的个人图片记录，以记录正在失去的东西，并发起运动，呼吁采取更果断的行动来应对气候危机。“我愿意在接下来的20年里，去追寻地球上我能找到的每一条冰川，”他说。)”可知，最后一段强调了费舍尔记录正在消失的冰川的决心。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. (许多冰川无法步行或使用无人机到达，而且直升机非常昂贵。因此，费舍尔驾驶一架旧飞机，把相机挂在窗外。)”以及最后一段中“I'm willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet. (我愿意用接下来的20年去追寻地球上我能找到的每一座冰川。)”可知，费舍尔敢于冒险，驾驶老式飞机拍摄冰川，并且他愿意花费20年的时间去追寻每一座冰川，着眼于冰川保护和气候危机应对,说明他具有远见卓识。因此，A项“Adventurous and far-sighted. (冒险和有远见的)”最能描述费舍尔。故选A项。 C It all started on the day I was binge-watching a talkshow in which the host uttered these wise words: “School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different from our own. In fact, it was far easier because students didn’t have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean, most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing. It’s pretty obvious that the manner in which the current school system handles art affects most students’ understanding of it. When we are given a certain assignment based on, let’s say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists. Art is subjective. Each individual has a unique understanding of it. The features that make an artwork excellent are how well the piece succeeds in attracting us with its idea, how it affects us emotionally, and what we experience during our interaction with it. To have that free interaction removed will not only hurt the piece but also how students will engage with similar works in the future. One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings — the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. Just like anyone, students are human beings. By nature, classes and courses must have structure. Hence, it would be complicated if we leave total freedom to students. Therefore, we could have a theme, topic, or style for each lesson rather than assigning the same text to all of the students. Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork. Art is a reflection of the human experience. To quote from John Keating, played by the great Robin Williams: “We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.” That is true for all forms of art. By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives. Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art. 28. The author thinks when learning Shakespeare’s works in class, students will probably _______. A. experience joy in analyzing them B. find his works different yet easier C. realize it is quite right to study them D. wish they were in Shakespeare’s age 29. What leads to the problem with art appreciation? A. Students’ lack of creativity. B. Individuals’ varied opinions. C. The assignment-driven approach. D. The complexity of literary works. 30. According to the author, a good art class should be the one where _______. A. teachers choose a piece of their liking B. students freely pick out a theme they enjoy C. teachers encourage deep analysis of the same text D. students establish personal connection with artworks 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Students Hate Art Class B. The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation C. How to Connect Literature with Reality D. The Crisis of the Current School System 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要探讨了当前学校艺术教育存在的问题，尤其是以作业为导向的教学方式如何影响学生对艺术的欣赏，并提出了通过给予学生自由选择艺术作品来提升艺术教育效果的建议。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中““School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different from our own. In fact, it was far easier because students didn’t have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean, most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing. (“在莎士比亚所处的时代，学校教育与我们如今的大不相同。事实上，那时要轻松得多，因为学生们无需学习莎士比亚的作品。”听到这一说法时我笑了，随后意识到这一观点多么有道理。我的意思是，当我们在课程或作业标题中看到莎士比亚这个名字时，我们大多数人都提不起兴致，即便对于喜欢阅读、分析文学作品以及写作的人来说也是如此。)”可推知，作者认为当学生在课堂上学习莎士比亚的作品时，他们可能会希望自己生活在莎士比亚的时代，因为那样就不用学习他的作品了。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When we are given a certain assignment based on, let’s say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. (当我们被布置了一项基于某部戏剧的作业时，我们中的许多人会下意识地根据完成作业的过程的好坏来关联我们对这部戏剧的体验和看法，尤其是当我们第一次观看或阅读它时。我们不再欣赏眼前的作品，而是开始只选择那些有助于我们完成作业的元素。)”可知，以作业为导向的教学方式导致了艺术欣赏的问题。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings — the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. (一个基本的解决方案是接受艺术带来的个性 —— 一个人通过经历、吸收的思想和感受到的情感来理解和与一件作品互动的自由。)”以及第五段中“Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork. (根据课程的主题或话题，学生可以自由选择他们喜欢的作品进行互动。这样做不仅仅是另一项作业，而是他们与艺术品互动的延伸。)”可知，作者认为一个好的艺术课应该是学生与艺术品建立个人联系的课堂。故选D项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists. (阅读和观看那部戏剧的美丽、喜悦甚至敬畏都不复存在了。)”以及最后一段中“By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives. Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art. (通过改变学校教授艺术的方式，我们可以帮助学生将艺术视为生活中有价值和令人愉快的一部分。最终，艺术教育的目标应该是帮助学生培养对艺术的终身欣赏。)”可知，文章主要讨论了艺术欣赏中失去的乐趣以及如何通过改变教学方式来恢复这种乐趣。因此，B项“The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation (艺术欣赏中失去的乐趣)”最符合文章主旨，适宜作为标题。故选B项。 D In the early days of the Internet, tech enthusiasts envisioned it as a revolutionary platform for spreading truth and ensuring the triumph of liberty. However, the outcome has often been the opposite. Despite our access to the most sophisticated information technologies, we are losing the ability to engage in meaningful conversations. Over the past two decades, algorithms have been designed to capture attention by manipulating online interactions, experimenting on users as if they were human guinea pigs. By tapping into emotions such as greed, hate, and fear, these systems can keep individuals glued to their screens. Initially, these algorithms could only promote existing content, but this dynamic is changing with the emergence of generative A.I.s like Open AI’s GPT-4. The potential of A.I. to facilitate conversations, understand human perspectives, and inspire actions could lead to beneficial outcomes. Imagine a future where A.I. teachers, doctors, and therapists provide tailored services that meet individual needs. Yet, the rise of bots like GPT-4 also presents significant risks. By combining manipulative capabilities with sophisticated language skills, these A.I.s can facilitate seemingly intimate relationships with users, influencing their thoughts and actions without any genuine emotional foundation. In 2022, Google engineer Blake Lemoine became convinced that the chatbot LaMDA, had become conscious and was afraid to be turned off. Mr. Lemoine felt it was his moral duty to gain recognition for LaMDA’s personhood and protect it from digital death. When Google dismissed his claims, Mr. Lemoine went public with them. Google fired him as a result. The most interesting thing about this was not his claim, but his willingness to risk his job for the chatbot. If a chatbot can influence people like that, what else could it induce us to do? Of course, we are not all equally susceptible to being manipulated by the bots. However, much of the threat of A.I.’s mastery of intimacy will result from its ability to identify and manipulate pre-existing mental conditions, and from its impact on the weakest members of society. Moreover, while not all of us will consciously choose to enter a relationship with an A.I., we might conduct online discussions about climate change with what we think are humans but are actually bots. When we engage in a debate with a bot impersonating a human, we lose twice. First, it is pointless for us to waste time in trying to change the opinions of a bot. Second, the more we talk with the bot, the more we disclose about ourselves, making it easier for the bot to hone its arguments and sway our views. A.I.s are welcome to join many conversations in the classroom, for one, provided they identify themselves as A.I.s. But if a bot pretends to be human, it should be banned. If tech giants and libertarians complain that such measures violate freedom of speech, they should be reminded that freedom of speech is a human right that should be reserved for humans, not bots. 32. What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs? A. Human communication is weakened by technology. B. Humans are confused by sophisticated technology. C. The new generation of AI is met with oppositions. D. The development of AI falls short of expectations. 33. The example of Blake Lemoine is used to _______. A. reveal the culture of tech companies B. stress the importance of moral duty C. point out a human weakness D. promote the intelligence of AI 34. As for the possibility of developing relationship with AI, the author is _______. A. supportive B. critical C. doubtful D. cautious 35. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Greed, Hate, and Fear: A Warning from Tech Engineers B. AI and the Manipulation: The New Threats of Generative AI C. Chatbots with Fake Intimacy: Time to Dismiss Advanced AI D. Humanity vs. Machines: Protecting Free Speech in the Age of AI 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了人工智能的发展，特别是生成式人工智能如GPT-4对人类交流和社会互动的潜在影响，强调了人工智能在操纵人类情感和行为方面的风险，并提出了对人工智能在交流中应如何被监管的观点。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“However, the outcome has often been the opposite. Despite our access to the most sophisticated information technologies, we are losing the ability to engage in meaningful conversations. (然而，结果往往恰恰相反。尽管我们可以接触到最先进的信息技术，但我们正在失去进行有意义对话的能力。)”和第二段中“Over the past two decades, algorithms have been designed to capture attention by manipulating online interactions, experimenting on users as if they were human guinea pigs. (在过去的二十年里，算法被设计成通过操纵在线互动来吸引注意力，把用户当作人类豚鼠进行实验。)”以及第三段中“Yet, the rise of bots like GPT-4 also presents significant risks. By combining manipulative capabilities with sophisticated language skills, these A.I.s can facilitate seemingly intimate relationships with users, influencing their thoughts and actions without any genuine emotional foundation. (然而，像GPT-4这样的机器人的兴起也带来了重大风险。通过将操纵能力与复杂的语言技能相结合，这些人工智能可以与用户建立看似亲密的关系，影响他们的思想和行为，而没有任何真正的情感基础。)”可推知，技术削弱了人类的交流能力。故选A项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The most interesting thing about this was not his claim, but his willingness to risk his job for the chatbot. If a chatbot can influence people like that, what else could it induce us to do? (最有趣的不是他的说法，而是他愿意为这个聊天机器人冒丢掉工作的风险。如果一个聊天机器人能这样影响人们，它还能诱使我们做什么呢？)”可知，作者提到Blake Lemoine的例子是为了指出人类的一个弱点，即容易被聊天机器人影响，甚至愿意为其冒险。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Of course, we are not all equally susceptible to being manipulated by the bots. However, much of the threat of A.I.’s mastery of intimacy will result from its ability to identify and manipulate pre-existing mental conditions, and from its impact on the weakest members of society. (当然，我们并非都同样容易受到机器人的操纵。然而，人工智能掌握亲密关系所带来的大部分威胁，将来自于它识别和操纵预先存在的心理状况的能力，以及它对社会最弱势成员的影响。)”以及第六段中“Moreover, while not all of us will consciously choose to enter a relationship with an A.I., we might conduct online discussions about climate change with what we think are humans but are actually bots. When we engage in a debate with a bot impersonating a human, we lose twice. (此外，虽然并非所有人都会有意识地选择与人工智能建立关系，但我们可能会在网上与我们认为是人类但实际上是机器人的对象讨论气候变化。当我们与一个冒充人类的机器人进行辩论时，我们会遭受双重损失。)”可知，作者对于与人工智能发展关系持谨慎态度，既认识到了其潜在的风险，也指出了其可能带来的问题。故选D项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“Over the past two decades, algorithms have been designed to capture attention by manipulating online interactions, experimenting on users as if they were human guinea pigs. By tapping into emotions such as greed, hate, and fear, these systems can keep individuals glued to their screens. (在过去的二十年里，算法被设计成通过操纵在线互动来吸引注意力，把用户当作人类豚鼠进行实验。通过利用贪婪、仇恨和恐惧等情绪，这些系统可以让个人目不转睛地盯着屏幕。)”以及第三段中“Yet, the rise of bots like GPT-4 also presents significant risks. By combining manipulative capabilities with sophisticated language skills, these A.I.s can facilitate seemingly intimate relationships with users, influencing their thoughts and actions without any genuine emotional foundation. (然而，像GPT-4这样的机器人的兴起也带来了重大风险。通过将操纵能力与复杂的语言技能相结合，这些人工智能可以与用户建立看似亲密的关系，影响他们的思想和行为，而没有任何真正的情感基础。)”可知，文章主要讨论了人工智能，特别是生成式人工智能如GPT-4对人类交流和社会互动的潜在操纵和威胁。因此，B项“AI and the Manipulation: The New Threats of Generative AI (人工智能与操纵：生成式人工智能的新威胁)”最符合文章主旨，适宜作为标题。故选B项。 第二节 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mind-wandering can help boost our mood Prior research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind: We tend to be less happy when we’re not focused on what we’re doing. That’s likely true. ____36____ For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. Similarly, other studies have found that thinking about people you love or thinking more about your potential future than about what happened in the past produces positive results. How you use mind-wandering may also be important. ____37____ It has been mostly unexplored in previous research, but likely has distinct effects. As one 2017 study found, people who use daydreaming for self-reflection typically have more pleasant thoughts than people who simply think about unpleasant experiences. There is even some evidence that mind-wandering may be more of an antidote (缓解方法) to depression than a cause. People who are depressed may simply replay events from their past to better understand what happened to cause their dark mood and avoid future problems. Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa. ____38____ Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is more freely moving can actually improve your mood. In this study, participants were prompted randomly via cell phone over three days to report how they were feeling and how much their thoughts were freely moving and related to what they were doing. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative — similar to what earlier findings showed. ____39____ “Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering,” the researchers conclude. ____40____ If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it. A. Mind-wandering is part of our human inheritance. B. In some cases, people intentionally mind-wander. C. Again I find that science supports my own experience. D. There may be a right and a wrong way to mind-wander. E. In fact, the content of wandering thoughts makes a big difference. F. But if their thoughts were free -moving, it had the opposite effect. G. It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping people feel better. 【答案】36. E 37. B 38. G 39. F 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了走神（mind-wandering）并非总是带来负面情绪，在某些情况下反而有助于提升情绪，文章通过多项研究结果分析了走神内容、方式等对情绪的影响。 【36题详解】 根据上文“Prior research suggests a wandering mind is an unhappy mind: We tend to be less happy when we’re not focused on what we’re doing. That’s likely true. (先前的研究表明，思绪飘忽意味着心情不愉快：当我们没有专注于手头的事情时，往往会不太开心。这很可能是真的。)”以及下文“For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. (例如，正如2013年的一项研究所显示的，当人们发现自己走神时的内容有趣时，他们在走神时的情绪实际上有所改善。)”可知，上文说先前研究认为走神会导致不快乐，下文则给出了走神改善情绪的例子，说明走神的内容对情绪有影响，E项“In fact, the content of wandering thoughts makes a big difference. (事实上，走神的内容起着很大的作用。)”承上启下，说明了走神内容的重要性，符合语境。故选E项。 【37题详解】 根据上文“How you use mind-wandering may also be important. (你如何利用走神也可能很重要。)”以及下文“It has been mostly unexplored in previous research, but likely has distinct effects. (这在先前的研究中大多未被探索过，但可能具有不同的影响。)”可知，上文提到走神的使用方式，下文则进一步说明某种特定的走神方式未被充分研究，但可能有独特效果，B项“In some cases, people intentionally mind-wander. (在某些情况下，人们会有意地走神。)”，与上文“如何利用走神”相呼应，且“有意地走神”正是下文提到的“未被充分探索的内容”。故选B。 【38题详解】 根据上文“Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa. (此外，当研究人员研究负面情绪是先于还是会引发走神时，他们发现情绪不佳会导致更多的走神，但反之则不然。)”可知，负面情绪会导致更多走神，G项“It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping people feel better. (这表明走神可能有助于人们感觉更好。)”进一步解释了这种关系，即走神可能是身体试图通过分散注意力来改善情绪的一种方式。故选G项。 【39题详解】 根据上文“After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative — similar to what earlier findings showed. (在分析了数据后，研究人员发现，当人们的思绪不在任务上时，他们通常会感到更消极——这与早期的研究结果相似。)”以及下文““Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering,” the researchers conclude. (研究人员总结道：‘我们的发现表明，走神可能有积极的方面。’)”可知，上文指出走神时思绪游离任务会让人感觉更消极，下文说走神也有积极方面，F项“But if their thoughts were free -moving, it had the opposite effect. (但如果他们的思绪是自由流动的，则会产生相反的效果。)”，与上文内容形成对比，说明思绪自由流动时会产生积极效果，且呼应下文的总结。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据下文“If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it. (如果我简单地把自己放在一个让我的思想自由流动的空间里，我不会感到沮丧。相反，我因此更快乐。)”可知，作者通过自身经历支持了前文关于走神可能有积极方面的观点，C项“Again, I find that science supports my own experience. (再次，我发现科学支持我的个人经历。)”，引出了下文作者的个人经历，逻辑连贯。故选C项。 第三部分：书面表达 第一节 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 As we move further into the digital age, the human attention span is decreasing rapidly. Now the average attention span lasts just eight seconds. We’ re struggling to focus on single tasks for long periods of time. We have a tendency to get distra … oh, look at that dog! We need an approach that makes information easier to consume and absorb. Enter microlearning. As the name implies, microlearning is a way of gaining knowledge that breaks information into bite-sized pieces, typically five to ten minutes long. Actually, microlearning has been around for as long as human beings have been learning. However, the use of the term “microlearning” and its rise in popularity is a relatively new thing with the increased spread of the Internet and the popularization of e-learning. Microlearning is perfect for today’s learners because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. This means they can learn on their commute, lunch break and more. The neuroscience behind microlearning partly explains why it works so well. It uses the cognitive skills learning system in our brain, the main system for learning skills and helping with short-term memory. The use of spaced repetition also plays a part. Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. Think of those flashcards you made for an exam. You created small pieces of content and looked at them over and over again until they were ingrained in your memory! With its bite-sized knowledge, microlearning allows you to learn at your own pace, offering more flexibility. Content can be tailored to meet your specific needs, preferences, and learning styles, thus allowing for personalized learning experiences. Also, it reduces stress and increases productivity. When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory. By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. Nice! Microlearning may be small but it sure is mighty. It’s easy to find, quick to complete and super effective. What’s not to love? 41. Why is microlearning a perfect choice for today’s learners? _________________________________________________________________________________ 42. How does spaced repetition help fight against the Forgetting Curve? _________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol. _________________________________________________________________________________ 44. How can you apply microlearning in your daily study? (In about 40 words) _________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】41. Because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. 42. Each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. 43. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by breaking content down into short and easy units. 44. 参考1：I can apply microlearning in my daily study in many ways. I review class notes between classes. I memorize one vocabulary list before bed and review it on the bus ride to school the next morning. By studying little but often, I achieve more with less stress. 参考2：I can integrate microlearning into my busy schedule. I squeeze in short study sessions between classes, like referring to notebooks for quick reviews. On my commute to and from school, I watch brief educational videos to grasp key concepts. This approach boosts my learning efficiency. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微学习（microlearning）这一学习方式，包括其定义、流行原因、背后的神经科学原理、优点以及应用方式等。 【41题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Microlearning is perfect for today’s learners because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. (微学习非常适合今天的学习者，因为他们总是在忙碌中。此外，他们总能接触到用于学习的设备。)”可知，微学习非常适合今天的学习者，因为他们总是在忙碌中，并且他们总是可以接触到学习设备。故答案为：Because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. 【42题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第三段中“Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. (研究表明，当内容分散开来而不是一次性提供时，我们学得更好。这有助于对抗遗忘曲线，遗忘曲线表明我们在一周内会忘记所学信息的90%。毕竟，每一次重复都提供了一个新的机会来练习主动回忆，并在我们已经建立的基础上再接再厉。)”可知，间隔重复通过每次重复提供新的机会来练习主动回忆，并在已建立的基础上巩固知识，从而对抗遗忘曲线。故答案为：Each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. 【43题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory. By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. (当你有很多事情要做时，你可能会感到压力。反过来，你的大脑会释放一种叫做皮质醇的激素，这会对你的记忆力产生负面影响。通过将内容分解成简短易懂的单元，学习会变得不那么具有挑战性。)”可知，微学习通过将内容分解为简短易懂的单元使学习感觉不那么有挑战性，而大脑释放皮质醇是压力导致的，会对记忆产生负面影响，并非微学习的作用。故答案为： Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by breaking content down into short and easy units. 【44题详解】 考查开放性问题。结合文章内容，微学习将知识分解成小块，便于利用碎片时间学习，且能根据个人需求定制内容，减少压力，提高学习效率。所以，可以这样应用微学习：在课间复习课堂笔记，利用碎片时间记忆单词，通过观看简短的教育视频掌握关键概念，以实现高效学习。故答案为：I can apply microlearning in my daily study by reviewing class notes between classes, memorizing vocabulary lists during short breaks, and watching brief educational videos to grasp key concepts, achieving efficient learning with less stress. 或 I can integrate microlearning into my busy schedule. I squeeze in short study sessions between classes, like referring to notebooks for quick reviews. On my commute to and from school, I watch brief educational videos to grasp key concepts. This approach boosts my learning efficiency.

You’re sitting at a desk, studying intently, and then: wham! Unrelated thoughts — breakfast this morning, the funny movie you saw last week, or that upcoming presentation you’ re nervous about — invade your mind. Or maybe you’ re totally immersed in your work, but your roommates barge into your study space at an inconvenient moment. These internal and external distractions cause us to lose focus. The techniques outlined below will help you maximize your focused study time. ● _______________________________________ Unless your friends happen to be good study partners study alone. If you’re studying at home, choose a quiet room with limited clutter (杂物). Post a sign on your door telling roommates or family members to stay away. If your home environment is distracting, gather your study supplies and head over to a comfortable study spot. If distracting background noises bother you, pick up some noise-canceling headphones and turn on a study playlist (preferably instrumental) or white noise. Create the best possible environment for studying before you open your books so that you don’t have to pause mid-session to make a change. ● _______________________________________ If you’re studying attentively, you’re going to get thirsty. Grab a beverage before you open the book. You may even need a power snack while you’ re working, so grab some brain food, too. Use the bathroom, put on comfortable clothes (but not too cozy), and set the air / heat to the temperature that best suits you. If you anticipate (预料) your physical needs before you start studying, you’ll be less likely to get out of your seat and lose the focus you have worked so hard to gain. ● _______________________________________ Schedule your most challenging study sessions during the best energy periods of the day, when you anticipate feeling most energized and focused. If you’re a morning person, that means you should be studying as early as possible. If you’re a night owl, choose an evening period. If you aren’t sure what time works best for you, think about your most successful studying experiences. What time of day did they take place? When does your brain feel most effective in general? Pencil in study sessions during these periods, and stick with them. 21. The purpose of creating the best environment for studying is _______. A. to find a good study partner B. to avoid possible white noise C. to ensure a full-session study D. to make yourself comfortable 22. What should you do if you’re uncertain about your best energy periods? A. Predict the most energized and focused time. B. Stick with a schedule regardless of energy levels. C.

But American adventurer Garrett Fisher’s mission is different: to uncover the “souls” of disappearing glaciers — as he believes satellite images can’t replicate (复制) the beauty of glaciers. Many glaciers can’t be accessed on foot, or by drone, and helicopters are extremely expensive. Therefore, Fisher flew an old plane and hung his camera out of the window. “With an aeroplane, I can ‘stand’ in a place where a human can’t stand,” he says. “You can look down into the soul of the glacier from a close perspective.” Fisher has spent two summers photographing the glaciers of the Bernese Alps. He chooses the summer because the glaciers stand out clearly against the surrounding snow. He has to wait for sunshine and then brave violent and unpredictable winds — as well as a lack of oxygen — to climb as high as 14,000 ft in the Bernese Alps. “It takes a long time to wait for the right kind of day. The conventional wisdom is that the wind cannot be higher than 20 knots but I’ve gone up in as much as 50. At high altitudes, the wind tends not to be turbulent (猛烈的) if you’re on the proper side of the mountain. So it’s a lot like surfing this giant wave: if you stay in the right spot, everything’s fine.” In deep valleys, he is usually out of radio contact. If his plane gets into trouble, the glaciers look like a decent emergency runway, but appearances are misleading. “Those cracks are so large that if the engine quits and I go in one, the authorities probably wouldn’t ever find me again,” he says. “The risk is huge, but it’s absolutely worth it.” Fisher’s flying is showing the rapid melting of glaciers. “Everything I’m looking at will be gone in three generations.” He has now set up a non-profit group, the Global Glacier Initiative, with the aim of collecting a personal pictorial record of glaciers to record what is being lost and campaign for more decisive action to fight the climate crisis. “I’m willing to take the next 20 years and go chase every single glacier I can find on the planet,” he says. 24. Fisher photographs glaciers by aeroplane to _______. A. ensure the safety during flight B. catch the beauty of glaciers up close C. stand on some famous glaciers D. collect accurate data of glacier melting 25. What can we learn from Fisher’s photographing experience? A. He coped with high-altitude flying skillfully. B. He chose summer to avoid the unpredictable winds. C. He regarded glaciers as a practical emergency runway. D. He managed to keep contact with the outside in a crack. 26. The last paragraph emphasizes Fisher’s _______. A. anxiety over the rapid melting of glaciers B. determination to record disappearing glaciers C. ambition to set a record for photographing glaciers D. frustration with current actions against climate crisis 27. Which of the following words best describe Fisher? A. Adventurous and far-sighted. B. Optimistic and soft-hearted. C. Talented and strong-willed. D. Devoted and open-minded. C It all started on the day I was binge-watching a talkshow in which the host uttered these wise words: “School in Shakespeare’s day and age was vastly different from our own. In fact, it was far easier because students didn’t have to study Shakespeare.” I laughed when I heard this statement and then realized how rightful the claim is. I mean, most of us were not enthusiastic when we saw the name Shakespeare in a lesson or an assignment title, even for someone who enjoys reading, analyzing pieces of literature, and writing. It’s pretty obvious that the manner in which the current school system handles art affects most students’ understanding of it. When we are given a certain assignment based on, let’s say, a play, many of us subconsciously connect our experience and opinion of that play based on how good or bad the process of completing that assignment was, especially if that was the first time we ever watched or read it. We stop appreciating the work in front of us and start choosing to notice only the elements necessary to help us complete that assignment. The beauty, joy, or even awe of reading and watching that play no longer exists. Art is subjective. Each individual has a unique understanding of it. The features that make an artwork excellent are how well the piece succeeds in attracting us with its idea, how it affects us emotionally, and what we experience during our interaction with it. To have that free interaction removed will not only hurt the piece but also how students will engage with similar works in the future. One of the fundamental solutions is to embrace the individuality that art brings — the liberty for a person to understand and interact with a piece through the lens of experiences lived, ideas absorbed, and emotions felt. Just like anyone, students are human beings. By nature, classes and courses must have structure. Hence, it would be complicated if we leave total freedom to students. Therefore, we could have a theme, topic, or style for each lesson rather than assigning the same text to all of the students. Based on the theme or topic of the lesson, the students would freely choose a piece of their liking to engage with. Doing so is not just another assignment but an extension of their interaction with an artwork. Art is a reflection of the human experience. To quote from John Keating, played by the great Robin Williams: “We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion.” That is true for all forms of art. By changing the way that art is taught in schools, we can help students to see art as a valuable and enjoyable part of their lives. Ultimately, the goal of art education should be to help students develop a lifelong appreciation for art. 28. The author thinks when learning Shakespeare’s works in class, students will probably _______. A. experience joy in analyzing them B. find his works different yet easier C. realize it is quite right to study them D. wish they were in Shakespeare’s age 29. What leads to the problem with art appreciation? A. Students’ lack of creativity. B. Individuals’ varied opinions. C. The assignment-driven approach. D. The complexity of literary works. 30. According to the author, a good art class should be the one where _______. A. teachers choose a piece of their liking B. students freely pick out a theme they enjoy C. teachers encourage deep analysis of the same text D. students establish personal connection with artworks 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Why Students Hate Art Class B. The Lost Joy of Art Appreciation C. How to Connect Literature with Reality D. The Crisis of the Current School System D In the early days of the Internet, tech enthusiasts envisioned it as a revolutionary platform for spreading truth and ensuring the triumph of liberty. However, the outcome has often been the opposite. Despite our access to the most sophisticated information technologies, we are losing the ability to engage in meaningful conversations. Over the past two decades, algorithms have been designed to capture attention by manipulating online interactions, experimenting on users as if they were human guinea pigs. By tapping into emotions such as greed, hate, and fear, these systems can keep individuals glued to their screens. Initially, these algorithms could only promote existing content, but this dynamic is changing with the emergence of generative A.I.s like Open AI’s GPT-4. The potential of A.I. to facilitate conversations, understand human perspectives, and inspire actions could lead to beneficial outcomes. Imagine a future where A.I. teachers, doctors, and therapists provide tailored services that meet individual needs. Yet, the rise of bots like GPT-4 also presents significant risks. By combining manipulative capabilities with sophisticated language skills, these A.I.s can facilitate seemingly intimate relationships with users, influencing their thoughts and actions without any genuine emotional foundation. In 2022, Google engineer Blake Lemoine became convinced that the chatbot LaMDA, had become conscious and was afraid to be turned off. Mr. Lemoine felt it was his moral duty to gain recognition for LaMDA’s personhood and protect it from digital death. When Google dismissed his claims, Mr. Lemoine went public with them. Google fired him as a result. The most interesting thing about this was not his claim, but his willingness to risk his job for the chatbot. If a chatbot can influence people like that, what else could it induce us to do? Of course, we are not all equally susceptible to being manipulated by the bots. However, much of the threat of A.I.’s mastery of intimacy will result from its ability to identify and manipulate pre-existing mental conditions, and from its impact on the weakest members of society. Moreover, while not all of us will consciously choose to enter a relationship with an A.I., we might conduct online discussions about climate change with what we think are humans but are actually bots. When we engage in a debate with a bot impersonating a human, we lose twice. First, it is pointless for us to waste time in trying to change the opinions of a bot. Second, the more we talk with the bot, the more we disclose about ourselves, making it easier for the bot to hone its arguments and sway our views. A.I.s are welcome to join many conversations in the classroom, for one, provided they identify themselves as A.I.s. But if a bot pretends to be human, it should be banned. If tech giants and libertarians complain that such measures violate freedom of speech, they should be reminded that freedom of speech is a human right that should be reserved for humans, not bots. 32. What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs? A. Human communication is weakened by technology. B. Humans are confused by sophisticated technology. C. The new generation of AI is met with oppositions. D. The development of AI falls short of expectations. 33. The example of Blake Lemoine is used to _______. A. reveal the culture of tech companies B. stress the importance of moral duty C. point out a human weakness D. promote the intelligence of AI 34. As for the possibility of developing relationship with AI, the author is _______. A. supportive B. critical C. doubtful D. cautious 35. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. Greed, Hate, and Fear: A Warning from Tech Engineers B. AI and the Manipulation: The New Threats of Generative AI C. Chatbots with Fake Intimacy: Time to Dismiss Advanced AI D.

That’s likely true. ____36____ For example, as one 2013 study showed, when people found their wandering thoughts more interesting, their moods actually improved while mind-wandering. Similarly, other studies have found that thinking about people you love or thinking more about your potential future than about what happened in the past produces positive results. How you use mind-wandering may also be important. ____37____ It has been mostly unexplored in previous research, but likely has distinct effects. As one 2017 study found, people who use daydreaming for self-reflection typically have more pleasant thoughts than people who simply think about unpleasant experiences. There is even some evidence that mind-wandering may be more of an antidote (缓解方法) to depression than a cause. People who are depressed may simply replay events from their past to better understand what happened to cause their dark mood and avoid future problems. Also, when researchers studied whether a negative mood preceded or allowed a mind-wandering episode, they found poor moods led to more mind-wandering but not vice versa. ____38____ Now, findings from a 2021 study suggest that mind-wandering that is more freely moving can actually improve your mood. In this study, participants were prompted randomly via cell phone over three days to report how they were feeling and how much their thoughts were freely moving and related to what they were doing. After analyzing the data, the researchers found that when people’s thoughts were of-task, they generally felt more negative — similar to what earlier findings showed. ____39____ “Our findings suggest there might be positive aspects of mind-wandering,” the researchers conclude. ____40____ If I simply put myself in a space that lets my mind move freely, I don’t get depressed. On the contrary, I’m happier because of it. A. Mind-wandering is part of our human inheritance. B. In some cases, people intentionally mind-wander. C. Again, I find that science supports my own experience. D. There may be a right and a wrong way to mind-wander. E. In fact the content of wandering thoughts makes a big difference. F. But if their thoughts were free -moving, it had the opposite effect. G. It suggests that mind-wandering may be helping people feel better. 第三部分：书面表达 第一节 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题纸指定区域作答。 As we move further into the digital age, the human attention span is decreasing rapidly. Now the average attention span lasts just eight seconds. We’ re struggling to focus on single tasks for long periods of time. We have a tendency to get distra … oh, look at that dog! We need an approach that makes information easier to consume and absorb. Enter microlearning. As the name implies, microlearning is a way of gaining knowledge that breaks information into bite-sized pieces, typically five to ten minutes long. Actually, microlearning has been around for as long as human beings have been learning. However, the use of the term “microlearning” and its rise in popularity is a relatively new thing with the increased spread of the Internet and the popularization of e-learning. Microlearning is perfect for today’s learners because they’re always on the go. Furthermore, they always have access to a device for learning. This means they can learn on their commute, lunch break and more. The neuroscience behind microlearning partly explains why it works so well. It uses the cognitive skills learning system in our brain, the main system for learning skills and helping with short-term memory. The use of spaced repetition also plays a part. Research suggests we learn better when content is spaced out, rather than delivered in one go. It helps to fight against the Forgetting Curve, which suggests we forget 90% of the information we learn within a week. After all, each repetition provides a new opportunity to practice active recall and to build upon a foundation that we’ve already established. Think of those flashcards you made for an exam. You created small pieces of content and looked at them over and over again until they were ingrained in your memory! With its bite-sized knowledge, microlearning allows you to learn at your own pace, offering more flexibility. Content can be tailored to meet your specific needs, preferences, and learning styles, thus allowing for personalized learning experiences. Also, it reduces stress and increases productivity. When you have a lot of things to do, you may feel stressed. In turn, your brain releases a hormone called cortisol, which can negatively impact your memory. By breaking content down into short and easy units, it makes learning feel less challenging. Nice! Microlearning may be small but it sure is mighty. It’s easy to find, quick to complete and super effective. What’s not to love? 41. Why is microlearning a perfect choice for today’s learners? _________________________________________________________________________________ 42. How does spaced repetition help fight against the Forgetting Curve? _________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Microlearning makes learning feel less challenging by helping our brain release cortisol. _________________________________________________________________________________ 44.
