第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15 小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
TikTok millionaires and AI tools make a college look like an overpriced relic, so it’s fair to ask: Are degrees even worth it anymore? Some absolutely are and some absolutely are not. The key is relevance. If you invest four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars, you had better make sure you’re walking away with something more than just a piece of paper and a student loan. A Pew Research Center survey found that more than half of college graduates are underemployed. Choosing the right subject is crucial to boosting earning power. Here are three that often are worthy of attention before choosing.
General Liberal Arts
Philosophy, History and English sound noble, but unless you pair them with a strong second major or a clear plan, they often leave graduates directionless. The biggest gaps are digital fluency and job-specific training. Most Liberal Arts programs don’t cover the tools modern workplaces run on, like Excel or basic marketing and analytic software.
Visual and Performing Arts
Unless you’re at Juilliard or already breaking through on your own, degrees in acting, dance or fine art often end in debt and disappointment. The industry rewards talent, not diplomas. Graduates are rarely taught the business side of the arts: branding, networking, or managing contracts and finances.
Communications
Once considered a solid course, a broad communications degree has lost its advantage. Unless integrated with a specialization like digital marketing, media production or public relations, it often lacks the technical execution and measurable outcomes employers demand.
1. What is the best advice for a Visual and Performing Arts student?
A. To obtain more certificates.
B. To switch to a business major.
C To learn marketing software.
D. To gain business skills in the arts.
2. What do the subjects have in common?
A. Focusing on learning arts.
B. Ensuring promising pay in career.
C. Requiring academic performance.
D. Lacking practical skills for jobs.
3. Who is the passage targeted at?
A. Professors in college.
B. Graduates in high school.
C. Parents of college students.
D. Human resources managers.
B
Would you spend nearly a hundred dollars on a doll that looks like a monster (怪物)? Well, that’s what some people are doing for this monster doll from China called Labubu. People’s fascination with doll crazes goes back generations. Just look at the Cabbage Patch Dolls in the ’80s. People get obsessed with purchasing popular dolls.
Pop Mart’s Labubu dolls are no exception. The doll, which looks like a scary child with a big head, sharp teeth and big eyes wearing fuzzy footy pajamas, is sure to gather mixed reactions. But people all over the internet are going crazy over it.
The doll was designed by Hong Kong artist, Kasing Lung, around 10 years ago. Lung created three picture books inspired by Nordic mythology (神话). The book contains descriptions of characters, both good and evil, in a fairy world. He called them “The Monsters.” Labubu, “a small monster with high, pointed ears and serrated teeth,” is the most prominent character. Though she is a monster, she is kind-hearted and constantly wants to help others, but things may not go according to her plan, and she accidentally ends up making things worse.
Today, Labubu blind boxes are sold worldwide by the Beijing-based toy-maker Pop Mart. People are very enthusiastic about the toy. It even led people to line up outside of malls overnight and start fights while instantly selling out.
Emily Brough, Head of Licensing for Pop Mart North America, told USA TODAY Labubu’s crazy following can be attributed to a few factors:1. Pop Mart’s blind box model and the possibility of getting a limited-edition fuel collectors’ desire for the dolls. 2. Going viral (迅速走红) — Unboxings and collector showcases on TikTok, Xiaohongshu (Red Note), and Instagram drove massive engagement. 3. Celebrities and Fandoms — Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and BLACKPINK’ s Lisa, have all been seen with Labubus, fueling their fans’ desires for the dolls.
4. Why are the Dolls in the ’80s mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To make a contrast. B. To generate a discussion.
C. To prove Labubu’s popularity. D. To draw people’s attention.
5. How can we describe Labubu?
A. Frightening but kind. B. Pretty and helpful.
C. Strange but entertaining. D. Popular and priceless.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A Dolls are always expensive to buy.
B. Labubu is designed by Nordic mythologist.
C. People may go to some lengths to buy a Labubu.
D. Cabbage Patch Dolls were monsters in the past.
7. Which is not the reason for Labubu’s popularity according to the passage?
A. Business model. B. Creative design.
C. Celebrity influence. D. The power of social media.
C
Do you know what percentage of your family’s total expenses is spent on food? This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数), an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food.
However, recently a topic has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. The food culture in China is rich and diverse, and people are willing to spend more money and energy on it.
“In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented on Sina Weibo.
Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art. The principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share.
Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance to communication. Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.
These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society, reported Guangming Daily.
8. Which of the following Engel coefficient figures suggests a high living standard?
A 63.9%. B. 42.2%. C. 36.3%. D. 29.8%.
9. How does the author mainly illustrate irrelevance of the Engel coefficient in China?
A. By presenting data. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing reasons. D. By citing quotes.
10. What do the underlined words “this concern” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
B. Whether Chinese people are willing to spend more on food.
C. Whether consumption habits are different in China.
D. Whether the principles of TCM are suitable for food.
11. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. Beating the economic rule.
B. The importance of food in China.
C. The consumption habits in China.
D. Improving the Chinese living standards.
D
Why might you be attracted to one face over another? It’s an age-old question thought to be too subjective to be worth serious scientific analysis until recently. But attractiveness is not, as you might at first think, linked with distinctiveness; It’s actually the opposite.
Studies have repeatedly shown that when it comes to which faces we prefer, we are more impressed by averageness. Researchers created artificial faces on a computer by combining photos of several people’s faces to generate a composite, “average” image. In preference trials, these highly average faces were consistently rated most attractive.
As well as averageness, there is another important influence on how physically attractive a person’s face is perceived to be. A simple research study shatters whatever romantic notions you may hold. Male and female volunteers looked at a series of smiling female faces and were asked to rate the attractiveness of each one.
Some of the faces they saw just once, while others they saw six times. By the end of the study, the repeatedly viewed faces were picking up higher attractiveness ratings for no other reason than the added exposure. Did you think familiarity leads to contempt? You couldn’t be more wrong.
This tendency is known to psychologists as the “mere exposure effect”. It applies to many different situations. Research has shown that people will evaluate photographs sounds, shapes, names and even made-up words more positively if they have encountered them before.
While these studies witness the importance of looks when it comes to romance, there is still hope for us all. If you are not blessed with the average features that most of us apparently deserve, then simply presenting yourself as often as possible to the object of your desire may overcome this. Harness the “mere exposure effect” to your advantage in the hope that your crush will develop a liking for the familiar. Perseverance can win out in the end.
12. Why do you prefer one face to another according to the passage?
A. Attractiveness. B. Uniqueness. C. Averageness. D. Subjectivity.
13. Which word can replace the underlined word “contempt” in Paragraph 4?
A. Ignorance. B. Fondness. C. Trust. D. Dependence.
14. How can you let someone like you according to the passage?
A. Good manners. B. Frequent visits.
C. Nice appearance. D. Strong personality.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How we attract others?
B. How subjective someone is attractive?
C. Why we find someone more beautiful?
D. Why we find average faces the most attractive?

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。
Studying abroad in Canada, I never thought that the small chopsticks would become a unique barrier in my cross-cultural adaptation.
For a Chinese student, using chopsticks to eat is the most natural thing. But here, every time I ate in the cafeteria and skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, the foreign classmates around me always cast curious and slightly confused looks, and from time to time, there were whispers: “How do they do that?” At first, I would smile and briefly explain how to use chopsticks to them. But as the number of times increased, the sense of strangeness brought about by cultural differences gradually made me feel uncomfortable. Even for a moment, I hesitated to switch to a knife and fork to eat in order to fit in.
During a group dinner, everyone sat around the restaurant. I habitually reached out for chopsticks. Jack, who was in the same group, saw this and exclaimed excitedly: “Hey, let’s see your magic with chopsticks!” As he spoke, he also picked up a pair of chopsticks and clumsily imitated. But before he could pick up anything, the chopsticks slipped from his hand. The other classmates laughed, and my face burned. I lowered my head to eat awkwardly, but my heart was in a mess. I realized that in their eyes, chopsticks were just a novel “performance prop (道具)”, and I, as a “foreigner” using chopsticks, seemed to have become an object of observation.
After that, when facing others’ curiosity about chopsticks, I lost the initial enthusiasm to share and just casually smiled. I was afraid of this excessive attention, afraid that my cultural habits would become an “outsider label” in the eyes of others. I even began to deliberately reduce the number of times I used chopsticks in public, trying to make myself “fit in” with the local dining style.
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。
Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize.

Graduates are rarely taught the business side of the arts: branding, networking, or managing contracts and finances.(除非你就读于茱莉亚音乐学院,或者已经凭借自身努力取得了突破,否则表演、舞蹈或美术专业的学位往往会让你背负债务且满心失望。这个行业看重的是才华,而非文凭。毕业生们很少会学到艺术领域的商业知识:品牌建设、人际关系拓展、合同管理以及财务处理。)”可知,视觉与表演艺术专业的学生最需要学习艺术领域的商业技能,这样才能更好地在行业立足。故选D项。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据General Liberal Arts部分中的“The biggest gaps are digital fluency and job-specific training. Most Liberal Arts programs don’t cover the tools modern workplaces run on, like Excel or basic marketing and analytic software.(最大的不足在于数字应用能力和特定职业技能培训。大多数通识文科课程并不涵盖现代职场所使用的工具,比如Excel软件或基础的营销及分析软件。)”、Visual and Performing Arts部分中的“Graduates are rarely taught the business side of the arts: branding, networking, or managing contracts and finances.(毕业生们很少会学到艺术领域的商业知识:品牌建设、人际关系拓展、合同管理以及财务处理。)”以及Communications部分中的“Unless integrated with a specialization like digital marketing, media production or public relations, it often lacks the technical execution and measurable outcomes employers demand.(除非将其与数字营销、媒体制作或公共关系等专业方向相结合,否则它往往缺乏雇主所要求的技术实操能力和可量化的成果。)”可知,这三个专业的共同之处在于都缺乏职场所需的实用技能。故选D项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“If you invest four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars, you had better make sure you’re walking away with something more than just a piece of paper and a student loan. A Pew Research Center survey found that more than half of college graduates are underemployed. Choosing the right subject is crucial to boosting earning power. Here are three that often are worthy of attention before choosing.(如果你要投入四年的时光和数万美元,那么你最好确保最终得到的不仅仅是一张文凭和一笔学生贷款。皮尤研究中心的一项调查发现,超过一半的大学毕业生存在就业不足的情况。选择合适的专业对于提高赚钱能力至关重要。以下是在选择之前往往值得关注的三个专业。)”可知,文章是在给即将选择大学专业的人提供建议,高中毕业生正是这一群体。故选B项。

Would you spend nearly a hundred dollars on a doll that looks like a monster (怪物)? Well, that’s what some people are doing for this monster doll from China called Labubu. People’s fascination with doll crazes goes back generations. Just look at the Cabbage Patch Dolls in the ’80s. People get obsessed with purchasing popular dolls.
Pop Mart’s Labubu dolls are no exception. The doll, which looks like a scary child with a big head, sharp teeth and big eyes wearing fuzzy footy pajamas, is sure to gather mixed reactions. But people all over the internet are going crazy over it.
The doll was designed by Hong Kong artist, Kasing Lung, around 10 years ago. Lung created three picture books inspired by Nordic mythology (神话). The book contains descriptions of characters, both good and evil, in a fairy world. He called them “The Monsters.” Labubu, “a small monster with high, pointed ears and serrated teeth,” is the most prominent character. Though she is a monster, she is kind-hearted and constantly wants to help others, but things may not go according to her plan, and she accidentally ends up making things worse.
Today, Labubu blind boxes are sold worldwide by the Beijing-based toy-maker Pop Mart. People are very enthusiastic about the toy. It even led people to line up outside of malls overnight and start fights while instantly selling out.
Emily Brough, Head of Licensing for Pop Mart North America, told USA TODAY Labubu’s crazy following can be attributed to a few factors:1. Pop Mart’s blind box model and the possibility of getting a limited-edition fuel collectors’ desire for the dolls. 2. Going viral (迅速走红) — Unboxings and collector showcases on TikTok, Xiaohongshu (Red Note), and Instagram drove massive engagement. 3. Celebrities and Fandoms — Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and BLACKPINK’ s Lisa, have all been seen with Labubus, fueling their fans’ desires for the dolls.
4. Why are the Dolls in the ’80s mentioned in the first paragraph?
A. To make a contrast. B. To generate a discussion.
C. To prove Labubu’s popularity. D. To draw people’s attention.
5. How can we describe Labubu?
A. Frightening but kind. B. Pretty and helpful.
C. Strange but entertaining. D. Popular and priceless.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Dolls are always expensive to buy.
B. Labubu is designed by Nordic mythologist.
C. People may go to some lengths to buy a Labubu.
D. Cabbage Patch Dolls were monsters in the past.
7. Which is not the reason for Labubu’s popularity according to the passage?
A. Business model. B. Creative design.
C. Celebrity influence. D. The power of social media.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国潮玩品牌泡泡玛特的Labubu怪兽玩偶走红现象,包括其设计背景、形象特点及受欢迎的原因。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People’s fascination with doll crazes goes back generations. Just look at the Cabbage Patch Dolls in the ’80s. People get obsessed with purchasing popular dolls. Pop Mart’s Labubu dolls are no exception. (人们对玩偶热潮的痴迷可以追溯到几代人之前。看看80年代的椰菜娃娃就知道了,当时人们痴迷于购买这种热门玩偶。泡泡玛特的Labubu玩偶也不例外。)”可知,提及80年代的椰菜娃娃是为了证明人们对热门玩偶的痴迷由来已久,进而说明Labubu玩偶同样受到大众追捧,即证明其受欢迎程度。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The doll, which looks like a scary child with a big head, sharp teeth and big eyes wearing fuzzy footy pajamas, is sure to gather mixed reactions. (这个玩偶看起来像一个吓人的小孩,脑袋大、牙齿尖、眼睛大,还穿着毛茸茸的连体睡衣,肯定会引发不同的反应。)”以及第三段中的“Though she is a monster, she is kind-hearted and constantly wants to help others, but things may not go according to her plan, and she accidentally ends up making things worse. (尽管她是个怪物,却心地善良,总是想着帮助别人。但事情往往不按她的计划发展,她还常常不小心把事情搞得更糟。)”可知,Labubu的形象吓人但性格善良。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“It even led people to line up outside of malls overnight and start fights while instantly selling out. (它甚至导致人们在商场外通宵排队,还因为玩偶瞬间售罄而发生争执。)”可知,人们为了买到Labubu玩偶,会通宵排队甚至发生冲突,由此可推断,人们可能会不惜一切代价去购买Labubu玩偶。故选C项。
【7题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Emily Brough, Head of Licensing for Pop Mart North America, told USA TODAY Labubu’s crazy following can be attributed to a few factors:1. Pop Mart’s blind box model and the possibility of getting a limited-edition fuel collectors’ desire for the dolls. 2. Going viral (迅速走红) — Unboxings and collector showcases on TikTok, Xiaohongshu (Red Note), and Instagram drove massive engagement. 3. Celebrities and Fandoms — Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and BLACKPINK’ s Lisa, have all been seen with Labubus, fueling their fans’ desires for the dolls. (泡泡玛特北美地区授权负责人艾米丽·布拉夫告诉《今日美国》,Labubu拥有狂热追随者可归因于以下几个因素:1. 泡泡玛特的盲盒模式以及获得限量版玩偶的可能性,刺激了收藏者对该玩偶的渴望。2. 迅速走红——TikTok、小红书(Red Note)和Instagram上的拆箱视频与收藏者展示视频,带来了大量互动。3. 名人和粉丝群体——蕾哈娜、杜阿·利帕以及BLACKPINK的Lisa,都被拍到手持Labubu玩偶,这激发了她们粉丝对该玩偶的渴望。)”可知,文中明确提及的Labubu受欢迎的原因包括“商业模式(盲盒模式)”、“社交媒体的力量”以及“名人影响力”,而“创意设计”并未在上述归因中出现,并非其受欢迎的原因。故选B项。

Do you know what percentage of your family’s total expenses is spent on food? This is the main focus of the Engel coefficient (恩格尔系数), an economic concept that describes the relationship between income and spending on food. For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food.
However, recently a topic has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. The food culture in China is rich and diverse, and people are willing to spend more money and energy on it.
“In the past, I earned 100 yuan a day and spent half of it on food. Now I earn 1,000 yuan a day, and I still spend half of it on food. Having a good meal makes my day,” a user from Hunan commented on Sina Weibo.
Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art. The principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share.
Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance to communication. Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals.
These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society, reported Guangming Daily.
8. Which of the following Engel coefficient figures suggests a high living standard?
A. 63.9%. B. 42.2%. C. 36.3%. D. 29.8%.
9. How does the author mainly illustrate irrelevance of the Engel coefficient in China?
A. By presenting data. B. By giving examples.
C. By listing reasons. D. By citing quotes.
10. What do the underlined words “this concern” in the third paragraph refer to?
A. Whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China.
B. Whether Chinese people are willing to spend more on food.
C. Whether consumption habits are different in China.
D. Whether the principles of TCM are suitable for food.
11. What does this text mainly talk about?
A. Beating the economic rule.
B. The importance of food in China.
C. The consumption habits in China.
D. Improving the Chinese living standards.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍恩格尔系数这一经济概念,以及中国民众对其在中国适用性质疑,分析中国饮食文化等因素使其难以反映中国人生活水平。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“For years, it has been considered an important measure of people’s living standards. If the figure is high, then it is often believed that the standard of living is low, as a large share of income is spent on food. (多年来,它一直被视为衡量人们生活水平的重要指标。如果这个数字高,人们通常认为生活水平低,因为收入的很大一部分花在了食物上。)”可知,恩格尔系数越低,生活水平越高。对比选项,29.8%是最低值,意味着最高的生活水平。故选D项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” This highlights the significant difference between China’s food culture and consumption habits and those of Western countries. (这种担忧的一个关键原因源于中国人对食物的态度,正如一句古语所言:“民以食为天。” 这凸显出中国的饮食文化和消费习惯与西方国家存在显著差异。)”、第五段中的“Food in China is a science, a social activity and an art. The principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are employed all over China to create healthy, well-balanced meals. Whether in a restaurant or at someone’s home, food is often the common ground over which people gather to talk and share. (在中国,饮食是一门科学,一种社交活动,更是一门艺术。中医的理念在中华大地上被广泛运用,以烹制出健康均衡的膳食。无论是在餐馆还是在他人家中,食物往往是人们相聚交谈、分享生活的共同纽带。)”以及第六段中的“Many aspects of Chinese spiritual culture are connected to food, from governance to communication. Chinese traditional culture focuses on seeing society and life from the perspective of food, and Chinese people are very good at enjoying the beauty and meaning found in everyday meals. (中国精神文化的诸多方面都与饮食息息相关,从治国理政到人际交往皆是如此。中国传统文化注重从饮食的视角审视社会与人生,而中国人也十分善于从日常膳食中品味其蕴含的美好与深意。)”可知,作者通过列出“中国人对食物的重视态度、饮食的多重属性、饮食与精神文化的关联”等原因,阐述恩格尔系数在中国的不适用性。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“However, recently a topic has gone viral on Chinese social media platforms, where many people have begun to question whether the Engel coefficient is relevant in China. (然而,最近一个话题在中国社交媒体平台上走红,许多人开始质疑恩格尔系数在中国是否适用。)”以及第三段中的“One of the key reasons for this concern comes from the Chinese attitude toward food, shown by the old saying, “Food is of primary importance to the people.” (这种担忧的一个关键原因来自中国人对食物的态度,俗话说‘民以食为天’就体现了这一点。)”可知,“this concern”指代前文提到的“许多人质疑恩格尔系数在中国是否适用”这一情况。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“These factors make consumption habits in China different from those in other countries, making the Engel coefficient not able to completely reflect the living standards of Chinese people. Moreover, this public concern shows just how deeply food is valued in Chinese society, reported Guangming Daily.(这些因素使得中国的消费习惯与其他国家存在差异,进而导致恩格尔系数无法完全反映中国人民的生活水平。此外,《光明日报》报道称,这种公众关切恰恰体现出食品在中国社会受到何等高度的重视。)”以及上文对这些因素的介绍可知,恩格尔系数这一传统经济规则在中国的应用受到了挑战,由此可知,“突破经济规则”能概括文章核心。故选A项。
D
Why might you be attracted to one face over another? It’s an age-old question thought to be too subjective to be worth serious scientific analysis until recently. But attractiveness is not, as you might at first think, linked with distinctiveness; It’s actually the opposite.
Studies have repeatedly shown that when it comes to which faces we prefer, we are more impressed by averageness. Researchers created artificial faces on a computer by combining photos of several people’s faces to generate a composite, “average” image. In preference trials, these highly average faces were consistently rated most attractive.
As well as averageness, there is another important influence on how physically attractive a person’s face is perceived to be. A simple research study shatters whatever romantic notions you may hold. Male and female volunteers looked at a series of smiling female faces and were asked to rate the attractiveness of each one.
Some of the faces they saw just once, while others they saw six times. By the end of the study, the repeatedly viewed faces were picking up higher attractiveness ratings for no other reason than the added exposure. Did you think familiarity leads to contempt? You couldn’t be more wrong.
This tendency is known to psychologists as the “mere exposure effect”. It applies to many different situations. Research has shown that people will evaluate photographs, sounds, shapes, names and even made-up words more positively if they have encountered them before.
While these studies witness the importance of looks when it comes to romance, there is still hope for us all. If you are not blessed with the average features that most of us apparently deserve, then simply presenting yourself as often as possible to the object of your desire may overcome this. Harness the “mere exposure effect” to your advantage in the hope that your crush will develop a liking for the familiar. Perseverance can win out in the end.
12 Why do you prefer one face to another according to the passage?
A. Attractiveness. B. Uniqueness. C. Averageness. D. Subjectivity.
13. Which word can replace the underlined word “contempt” in Paragraph 4?
A. Ignorance. B. Fondness. C. Trust. D. Dependence.
14. How can you let someone like you according to the passage?
A. Good manners. B. Frequent visits.
C. Nice appearance. D. Strong personality.
15. What is the best title of the passage?
A. How we attract others?
B. How subjective someone is attractive?
C. Why we find someone more beautiful?
D. Why we find average faces the most attractive?
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨人们偏爱某些面孔的原因,介绍平均脸更具吸引力及“单纯曝光效应”,并给出利用该效应让他人产生好感的建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Studies have repeatedly shown that when it comes to which faces we prefer, we are more impressed by averageness.(研究一再表明,在我们偏爱哪些面孔这个问题上,我们对平均脸的印象更深。)”可知,人们偏爱某张面孔的原因是平均脸特质。故选C项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“By the end of the study, the repeatedly viewed faces were picking up higher attractiveness ratings for no other reason than the added exposure. Did you think familiarity leads to contempt? You couldn’t be more wrong. (研究结束时,那些被反复观看的面孔获得了更高的吸引力评分,原因仅仅是曝光次数的增加。你以为熟悉会导致contempt吗?你大错特错了。)” 可知,前文强调 “反复观看(熟悉)让面孔更有吸引力”,后文通过反问否定 “熟悉会导致……”,结合“大错特错”可推断,“contempt”应与“好感、吸引力”相反,所以划线单词的意思与“Ignorance(轻视、无视)” 意义相近。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“If you are not blessed with the average features that most of us apparently deserve, then simply presenting yourself as often as possible to the object of your desire may overcome this. Harness the “mere exposure effect” to your advantage in the hope that your crush will develop a liking for the familiar. (如果你没有天生拥有我们大多数人显然应有的平均容貌特征,那么简单地尽可能频繁地在你心仪的人面前出现,或许就能弥补这一点。利用“单纯曝光效应”为自己谋利,希望你喜欢的人会对熟悉的你产生好感。)”可知,频繁出现在心仪对象面前能让对方喜欢你。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“Studies have repeatedly shown that when it comes to which faces we prefer, we are more impressed by averageness. Researchers created artificial faces on a computer by combining photos of several people’s faces to generate a composite, “average” image. In preference trials, these highly average faces were consistently rated most attractive.(研究一再表明,在我们偏爱哪些面孔这个问题上,我们对平均脸的印象更深。研究人员在电脑上通过组合几个人的面部照片,生成了一张合成的“平均”脸图像。在偏好测试中,这些高度平均的面孔一直被评为最具吸引力。)”可知,文章核心围绕 “人们为何会觉得某张面孔更具吸引力” 展开:先否定 “独特性”“主观性” 的旧认知,再通过研究证明 “平均化特征” 和 “单纯曝光效应” 两个关键原因,最后给出 “利用曝光效应提升好感” 的建议,整体逻辑是 “解释面孔吸引力的成因”。所以“为什么我们会觉得某人更美?”最能概括全文,适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。

【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:露西来自英国伦敦,这座城市将现代活力与历史魅力融为一体,拥有古老的大本钟和充满艺术气息的大英博物馆。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为a city,在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where。故填where。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在这样的环境中长大,露西对世界充满好奇,尤其是对遥远而神秘的东方国家——中国。此处修饰名词短语oriental country,用mystery的形容词形式mysterious,意为“神秘的”。故填mysterious。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大学期间,露西选择了中文专业,从而与中国文化结下了不解之缘。此处为非谓语动词,Lucy与form为主动关系,用现在分词forming作结果状语,表自然而然的结果。故填forming。

考查名词。句意:毕业后,怀着对中国的渴望,她毅然踏上了前往中国的旅程,最终定居在西安——一座承载着十三朝古都深厚历史的城市。此处作filled with的宾语,用eager的名词形式eagerness,意为“渴望”,为不可数名词。故填eagerness。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:露西第一次接触汉服是在西安一个传统节日的庙会上。此处为固定搭配“encounter with”,意为“与……的相遇、接触”,所以用介词with。故填with。

考查连词。句意:她走访了西安的多家汉服工作室,结识了许多志同道合的朋友,并向资深汉服制作大师请教。该句中“visited”、“made”与“consulted”为并列关系,所以此处用连词and连接三个并列的谓语动词。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:被针扎到手是常有的事,但她从没想过放弃。此处为谓语动词,描述客观情况,用一般现在时;主语为动名词短语“Stinging her fingers with needles”,视为单数,所以be动词用is。故填is。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:在过去的几年里,她拍摄了一些独特的视频,既有专业的知识讲解,又充满趣味。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“over the past years”,用现在完成时,结构为“have/has +过去分词”;主语she为第三人称单数,所以谓语动词用has shot。故填has shot。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:露西说,能来到中国并定居西安,她感到非常幸运。此处为“feel + 形容词 + to do”结构,且“come to China”发生在“feels fortunate”之前,用动词不定式的完成式to have come。故填to have come。

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。
Studying abroad in Canada, I never thought that the small chopsticks would become a unique barrier in my cross-cultural adaptation.
For a Chinese student, using chopsticks to eat is the most natural thing. But here, every time I ate in the cafeteria and skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, the foreign classmates around me always cast curious and slightly confused looks, and from time to time, there were whispers: “How do they do that?” At first, I would smile and briefly explain how to use chopsticks to them. But as the number of times increased, the sense of strangeness brought about by cultural differences gradually made me feel uncomfortable. Even for a moment, I hesitated to switch to a knife and fork to eat in order to fit in.
During a group dinner, everyone sat around the restaurant. I habitually reached out for chopsticks. Jack, who was in the same group, saw this and exclaimed excitedly: “Hey, let’s see your magic with chopsticks!” As he spoke, he also picked up a pair of chopsticks and clumsily imitated. But before he could pick up anything, the chopsticks slipped from his hand. The other classmates laughed, and my face burned. I lowered my head to eat awkwardly, but my heart was in a mess. I realized that in their eyes, chopsticks were just a novel “performance prop (道具)”, and I, as a “foreigner” using chopsticks, seemed to have become an object of observation.
After that, when facing others’ curiosity about chopsticks, I lost the initial enthusiasm to share and just casually smiled. I was afraid of this excessive attention, afraid that my cultural habits would become an “outsider label” in the eyes of others. I even began to deliberately reduce the number of times I used chopsticks in public, trying to make myself “fit in” with the local dining style.

Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival. Each country’s student union was required to set up a booth to showcase their own culture. Our Chinese student union decided to take chopsticks as the theme. At first, I was a little hesitant, but when I saw my classmates actively preparing, I was also infected by their enthusiasm. I thought, since chopsticks are an important part of Chinese culture, why not let more people know and understand them?
I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize. I told them that chopsticks represent the wisdom and philosophy of the Chinese people. They are not only a tool for eating, but also a cultural carrier. As I spoke, more and more people gathered around our booth. Some of them were curious, some were amazed, and some even tried to use chopsticks under my guidance. Looking at their serious expressions and the smiles on their faces, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. I realized that cultural differences are not a barrier, but a bridge. As long as we are willing to share and communicate, we can understand and respect each other’s cultures.
