The pupils in Paula Merrigan's kindergarten class often call her mom,or sometimes even grandma,partly
英语试题第4页/共12页
because Merrigan ensures all the children are greeted with a big smile when they enter the classroom in the
moming.She works with every single one of them one-on-one at some point during the day,and she's generous
with praise,hugs,and affection.
"When small children tell you they love you,say it back to them,"said the teacher."It's important for every
child to feel their teacher cares about them and that school is always a secure place to stay.When they know
you truly care about them,they want to do their best for you,because they're seeking your approval."
Merrigan also lets the children tell her their stories to leam what they're passionate about."When you leam
about certain things they like and tie them to your topic,they love it,"she said."Maybe the children told you
that they really like dinosaurs so when you're teaching the letter'D',you create a dinosaur art project to go with
it”
Given that separation anxiety hits many youngsters hard when they enter the kindergarten classroom,how
children feel at the beginning of their schooling can set the tone for the rest of their academic life,experts say.
"This is important for little ones because this is often the first time that they're experiencing formal education,"
said Hedy Chang,executive director of Attendance Works,a nonprofit working to boost student attendance.
"What happens during this time can help lay the foundation for social and academic success."
Researchers found students of all ages who miss an excessive amount of school often suffer from mental
issues.They may need to feel nurtured,experts say "To the degree that parents keep kids home from school
because the kids say they don't want to go,"said Deborah Stipek,an expert from Stanford University,"children's
relationship with the teacher should be an important fuctor."Merrigan,who herself remembers faking being
sick a few times as a child,couldn't agree more.
24.What is Merrigan's class like?
A.Warm,supportive,and engaging.
B.Cozy,quiet and test score driven.
C.Loving and teacher-centered.
D.Caring and focused on personal work.
25.How does Merrigan help make her students feel secure at school?
A.Assigning them leadership roles
B.Allowing for individual thoughts
C.Greeting them and showing affection.
D.Keeping classes simple but interesting.
26.Why does Merrigan listen to her students'personal stories?
A.To learn about children's behavior patterns
B.To help with accurate grading and assessments.
C.To smoothly manage possible classroom conflicts.
D.To make her students more focused on her lessons.
27.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Managing Parental Separation Anxiety
B.Attendance and Academic Achievement
C.Creative Kindergarten Teaching Methods

Politeness Effects in Directive Compliance:Effects with Power and Social Distance examines how
politeness influences whether individuals comply with (requests,and how this effect changes depending
on the power status and social distance between the people involved.
The researchers sought to understand three main questions:First,does politeness increase the likelihood
that someone will comply with a request?Second,how does the power status of the requester affect compliance?
Third,how does the social closeness or distance between the requester and the recipient influence the
effectiveness of politeness?
To explore these questions,the researchers conducted a series ofexperiments where participants were given
requests that varied in politeness and came from people with different levels of power and different social
relationships.For example,some requests came from authority figures such as bosses,while others came from
colleagues or strangers.The social distance between the requester and recipient also varied from close
relationships to unfamiliar interactions.
First,participants were more likely to agree to requests made politely compared to direct or impolite
demands.Politeness appeared to ease social tension and made participants more willing to cooperate.Second,
requests made by individuals with higher authonty were more likely to be followed.When a powerful person
used polite language,compliance rates were espectally high.However,when a person with lower power made
polite requests,compliance improved but not to the same degrce.Third,among close friends or acquaintances,
politeness had less impact on compliance because the relationship itself already encouraged cooperation.
However,in interactions involving strangers or distant social connections,politeness became a significant factor
for gaining compliance.It helped to bridge the social gap and form positive responses.
In conclusion,the study demonstrates that politeness is a key factor in securing compliance but its effect
depends on the context.Power status and social relationships guide how politeness is perceived (and how
effective it is.Understanding these factors can improve communication and cooperation in various social and
professional settings.This research highlights the importance of polite communication,especially when dealing
with strangers or in ranked situations,and provides insight into how people manage social interactions to
maintain harmony and respect.
28.What is the main purpose of paragraph one?
A.To introduce the study's main research content.
B.To explain the meaning of politeness in requests.
C.To describe principles of the experiments conducted.
D.To discuss the effects of politeness and social distance.
29.Which is closest in meaning to "the recipient"?
A.The person who receives a compliance.
英语试题第6页/共12页
B.The individual who is requested to comply.
C.The person from whom the request is directed.
D.The listener or the person receiving a message.
30.In which of the following situation is the requester most likely to get a"yes"?
A.The manager asks Sam to send in the latest report when possible.
B.A male colleague orders Cinderella to fetch a coffee for him at the bar.
C.A stranger with no authority asks Samantha for her photo in a polite way.
D.A close friend directly asks Cristiano to pick him up at the airport late night.
31.What can we learn from the passage?
A.Power status and social closeness decide the success of requests.
B.Politeness is a key factor in the effect of people's reply to requests
C.Directive compliance depends on politeness,power,and social distance.
D.Politeness overpowers social distance or power when trying to gain compliance.

Where do our emotions come from,and how do they shape the people we are and the way we understand
the world?Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman demonstrated that facial expressions used to exhibit
certain emotions are recognized by people everywhere.Ekman suggested that these facial expressions evolved
to aid us deal with situations that can affect our welfare
Though humans may share certain emotions and recognize them in others,we don't all have the same
emotional response to every situation.In fact,most emotional responses are learned and stored in our memories.
The smell of freshly cut grass,for example,will generate happy feelings in someone who spent enjoyable
childhood summers in the countryside,but not in someone who was forced to work long hours on a farm.Once
an emotional association like this is made,it is very difficult to undo it."Emotion is the least flexible part of the
brain,"says Ekman.
But we can learn to control our emotions by becoming consciously aware of their underlying causes and
by not reacting automatically to things in our environment.But it raises an important question:Is it really
possible to control our emotions in a meaningful and lasting way?Researcher Richard Davidson explored this
idea by studying brain activity related to emotional states.He has demonstrated that people who experience
negative emotions display increased activity in their right prefrontal cortex(前额叶皮质).In those with a more
positive perspective,the activity occurs in the left prefrontal cortex.Curious about this,Davidson wondered,
"Could we purposefully control this activity and shift our mental state away from negative feelings toward a
calmer state of mind?"To answer this question,volunteers were gathered and Davidson actively worked with
them.They were divided into two groups.One group received eight weeks of training using different meditation
(and relaxation techniques,while another group did not participate in training of any kind.By the end of
英语试题第7页/共12页
the study,those who had meditated had accomplished their goal.
For centuries,people have studied the brain,but it is only in recent years that we have really started to
learn how it works.Nevertheless,there is still a long way to go before we can fully understand our emotions.
32.What can be understood about the purpose of facial expressions,according to Ekman's research?
A.They are learned behaviors and vary with each culture.
B.They help humans communicate without using language.
C.They are primarily used to mislead others about how we feel.
D.They have changed into tools for human important life situations.
33.What does the example of the smell of freshly cut grass suggest about emotional reactions?
A.People tend to react to certain smells in the same way.
B.Emotional reactions are not based on personal experiences.
C.Personal experiences strongly influence emotional responses.
D.Emotional associations are not permanent and difficult to change.
34.What conclusion can be drawn from Davidson's meditation study?
A.Meditation prevents people from controlling their emotion.
B.People who meditate naturally have stronger left-brain activity.
C.Regular meditation may help people better control their emotions.
D.Emotional states are connected to brain activity through meditation.
35.What is the main message conveyed through the passage?
A.Facial expressions rarely reflect true emotions.
B.Emotions are fixed by gene and cannot be changed.
C.Meditation can help people forget negative emotions.
D.Emotions can be managed with awareness and practice.

How to spot Al images on social media?
With the rise of Al-generated content,it's becoming increasingly difficult for common people and
professionals to distinguish between real photographs and artificial images.36 However,there are
still some common signs to look for when trying to spot an Al-generated image.
Focus on the details
37 However,AI models often struggle with recreating fine details correctly,especially in areas
that are more complex or less commonly seen.A good example is the image of actor Ryan Reynolds.At first
glance,the image seems believable,but closer inspection reveals that the fingers on his right hand are oddly
shaped,a common mistake in Al images.In addition,if you look at the writing on his FI jacket,it tums out to
英语试题第8页/共12页
be nonsense,without readable content.This is another red flag.38
Be aware of perfection
Al-generated images often appear too perfect.The faces in these images can look unusually smooth or
"airbrushed,"lacking the small imperfections that make real human faces look natural.39
However,
upon closer examination,the facial features may lack skin texture (or depth,giving the photo an unreal
quality.Another clue is the background setting.Al often places subjects in overly ideal or fantasy-like
environments.If a seemingly realistic photo includes an odd detail,like a flock of swans in an unlikely place,it
could suggest that the image is computer-generated.
Reverse(反向)image search
When visual clues aren't enough,reverse image searching can help.By uploading the image to a search
engine,you can see where else it appears online.Real photos tend to exist across multiple sources.Al-generated
images,on the other hand,usually have limited web presence.40This may tag the image with terms
like"AI-generated,"giving you a clear answer.
While Al-generated images are improving,they still leave behind subtle traces.Learning to spot these clues
helps us stay alert and more informed in an era where seeing is no longer always believing.
A.Additionally,reverse searches may link to the original uploader.
Images generated by machines can now look ineredibly realistic.
C
Even experts in computer imaging have a hard ume getting used to it.
0
Consequently,we can see Al fails to carry out human will appropriately.
E
Al images are created by processing large quantities of data from photos.
F.So.Al struggles to represent detailed contents,which easily gives it away
G.For instance,an Al image of pop star Ariana Grande may initially appear lifelike.
