After Christmas, the festive cheer fades, and you might feel down or dissatisfied with yourself when you look in the mirror. In January, you might want to make changes and find a new diet plan. Many of these plans, advertised with fit people or 1 before-and-after photos, promise to help you fit into your jeans, improve your skin, and lower health risks. But are these diets as 2 as they seem? Are they backed by solid evidence?
Celebrity endorsements (代言) can turn a diet into a popular trend, whether or not it has 3 backing. For example, the Raw Food diet, favored by stars like Uma Thurman, claims that cooking food 4 nutrients and enzymes (酶) that help digestion and prevent disease. Followers eat mostly uncooked plant-based foods, with the idea that it improves both health and memory. 5 , it makes perfect sense. When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke. “The Raw Food diet has the least scientific evidence or reasoning behind it,” says Dr Scott Harding, lecturer in nutritional sciences at King’s College London. “There is no way that eating raw food specifically improves people’s antioxidant (抗氧化的) capacity or directly 6 their risk of developing long-term diseases.”
Scientific reasoning might have quickly 7 raw food, but researchers have engaged more enthusiastically with other fashionable eating plans. Take the paleo diet, the most searched eating plan online. By basing the diet on the supposed eating habits of our lean, disease-free hunter-gatherer 8 , this plan promises weight loss, as well as a reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The rules: no 9 food, sugar, dairy, or grains, just foods that can be hunted, fished or gathered. It sounds 10 , but is the science reliable?
Paleo’s problem is in its 11 . As critics have pointed out, our digestive systems and food have evolved significantly in the past 10 million years. Contrary to popular 12 of caveman’s meat-based and low-carb diet, evolutionary research suggests that our earlier ancestors fed frequently on nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables rather than meat and fish, Stone Age humans would have eaten around 20 different types of plant-based foods a day, says Dr Mark Berry, senior research and development manager at Unilever, who led a 2010 study into the paleolithic diet.
“It has been described as a low carb, no-grain diet, but the 13 form isn’t quite how it was,” says registered nutritionist and dietician Sue Baic, co-author of Nutrition for Dummies. “ 14 , the paleo diets had quite a lot of plant foods. The diets are characterized by low energy density, high fibre and plenty of beneficial plant compounds.” It’s the variety of these plant nutrients that is crucial to the diet’s 15 .

Why Do People’s Exercise Needs Vary so Much?
Exercise needs vary among people due to a number of factors, including ...Genetic variability
Genes play a big role in determining a person’s 1 to exercise. Genetic variations influence factors such as muscle fibre composition, metabolism (新陈代谢) and cardiovascular (心血管的) capacity. Some people may be 2 predisposed to endurance activities, while others may have a genetic make-up that favors strength exercises.
Metabolic rate
Metabolic rate varies between people due to genetic and physiological factors. Some people have a higher basal metabolic rate, meaning they burn calories faster while 3 . This affects energy 4 during exercise and influences the type and intensity of exercise needed for weight management and fitness.
Body composition
Variations in body composition 5 how a person responds to exercise. Someone with a higher percentage of lean muscle mass may have different strength and endurance capabilities to someone with a higher percentage of body fat.
6
Exercise requirements 7 over the course of a person’s life. Children and adolescents may have different needs for growth and development compared to adults or older people 8 bone density and functional abilities.
Personal goals
Not everyone wants to get faster or be stronger. Most people have their own 9 when exercising and the plan they follow needs to cater to those goals. Personal 10 also come into play, as some people prefer exercising in a team or class, while others prefer solo workouts.
In between exercise
Activity 11 between workouts will also influence a person’s exercise needs and how much they eat. If you’re in a(n) 12 job, for example, you might not need as much exercise as someone who is more sedentary (需要久坐的). Recovery is also important, as this is where the majority of your gains are made. Everyone has different recovery times, even after doing the 13 workout.
Psychological factors
Psychological factors, including 14 , stress levels and mental health also affect exercise preferences and adherence (坚持).
Recognizing and embracing these 15 is vital for tailoring effective and sustainable exercise programmes that meet a person’s needs

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Organizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people’s self-interest in the service of the common good. The 1 of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 2 , discouraging the very behaviour they’re meant to encourage.
A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood 3 the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives — showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 4 .
Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 5 the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called “the moral sentiments (情绪).” Psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff — we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 6 , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and dignified. And they don’t want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 7 than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employee 8 the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 9 for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.
Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we’re being self- interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted, and they can imply — sometimes wrongly — what 10 us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval(think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 11 or brake our ethical sensibilities.
This does not mean it’s 12 to appeal to self- interested and ethical motivations at the same time — just that efforts to do so often fail. 13 , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self- interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that 14 their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It caused offenders 15 while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of outdated and socially unacceptable practice.

For the past five years. I've been examining the pros and cons of reading on-screen versus in print. The _______bottom line is that while digital devices may be fine for reading that we don't intend to (41 ) _______or reread, text that requires what's been called “deep reading”is nearly always better done in print.

My survey research with university students in the United Sates, Germany. and Japan reveals that if costs are the same, about 90 percent ( at least in my sample ) (43 )_______ hard copy for schoolwork. If a text is long, 92 percent would choose hard copy. For (44) _______texts, it's a toss-up.
Digital reading also (45 ) _______distraction and invites multitasking. Among American and Japanese subjects, 92 percent reported it was easiest to concentrate when reading in hard copy.(The figure for Germany was 98 percent. ) In this country.26 percent indicated they were (46)________to multitask while reading in print, compared with 85 percent when reading on-screen. Imagine (47)_______with Finnegan's Wake while simultaneously juggling Facebook and booking a vacation fight. You get the point.
Several open-ended questions on my survey were particularly (48 )_______. I asked what people liked most ( and least) about reading in each medium. Common (49)_______for what students liked most about reading in print included “I can write on the pages and remember the material easier” and “it's easier to focus.” When asked what they liked least about reading (50 )_______, a number of Japanese students reported that it wasn't “real reading,” while respondents from all three countries complained that they “get distracted” or “don't absorb as much.”
My all-time favorite reply to the question "What is the one thing you (51 )________about reading in print?" came from an American: "It takes me longer because I read more carefully. " Isn't careful reading what academe was designed to promote?
Readings in the humanities tend to be lengthy, intellectually weighty, or both. The (52)_______of digital reading for the humanities is that screens-particularly those on devices with Internet connections-undermine our encounters with meaty texts. These (53 ) ________weren't designed for focused concentration, reading slowly, pausing to argue virtually with the author,or rereading. (54 )_______, they are information and communication machines, best used for searching and skimming-not scrutinizing.
Teachers and scholars must look beyond today's career-mindedness in talking about challenges to the humanities.

例4(2025·上海宝山一模)
At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. __21__ , people's facial expressions, movements and posture (姿势) can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds. Understanding these messages hidden in people's language can require a lot of skill, but Joe Navarro's book What EVERY BODY is Saying can help __22__ that ability.
Small changes in body language can help you recognize if someone is __23__. Even when people don't lie directly, they sometimes try to hide their feelings. Whether you are __24__ with people in business or in your personal life, recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own.
According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important to avoid __25__ their body language. Most facial expressions and gestures can mean several different things, so __26__ when people use certain expressions. Recognizing this baseline can help you understand whether expressions and gestures indicate a(n) __27__ to something you said or not. For example, rubbing one's eyes may be a sign of __28__ with a topic. But if the person has been rubbing their eyes __29__, they might just be tired.
Proximity (接近,亲近) to other people is also part of body language. People stand closer to people they like or feel comfortable with than to strangers or people they don't like. And posture also __34__. Sitting or standing up straight can show that someone feels confident, while sitting with crossed arms indicates that they feel __35__ or uncomfortable.
Body language can communicate a lot about people's thoughts and feelings, and thus, help you relate to them.
22. A. provide B. develop C. discover D. arouse
24. A. cooperating B. negotiating C. investigating D. interacting
25. A. misguiding B. misinterpreting C. mistrusting D. mismanaging
34. A. adjusts B. follows C. moves D. matters
答案解析
22. B:这本书能帮助 “培养” 理解肢体语言隐藏信息的能力。“develop”(培养,发展)符合语境,“provide”
(提供)、“discover”(发现)、“arouse”(唤起)均不能准确表达培养能力的意思,所以选 B。
语篇层次题。文章中提到 “Understanding these messages hidden in people's language can require a lot of skill(理解隐藏在人们语言中的这些信息需要很多技巧)”,后文紧接着介绍 “Joe Navarro's book What EVERY BODY is Saying can help 22 that ability(乔・纳瓦罗的《身体语言密码》这本书能帮助…… 那种能力)”。从语篇整体来看,文章旨在阐述身体语言能传达很多信息,但理解这些信息需要能力,而这本书的出现就是要助力人们去更好地掌握这种理解身体语言所传达信息的能力,所以这里用 “develop(发展,培养)”,意味着帮助读者去提升、培养解读身体语言信息的能力,契合整个语篇围绕身体语言以及如何更好理解它这一脉络展开的内容。
24. D:无论是在商业还是个人生活中与他人 “互动”,识别这些感觉都有助于兼顾双方利益。“interacting”(互动)符合语境,“cooperating”(合作)、“negotiating”(谈判)、“investigating”(调查)都过于片面,不能涵盖各种与他人打交道的情况,所以选 D。
语篇层次题。文中先是说 “Whether you are 24 with people in business or in your personal life(无论你在商务中还是个人生活中与人们……)”,后面又提到 “recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own(识别这些情感能帮助你留意他们的和你自己的利益)”。从语篇的角度去理解,整个篇章重点在讲述身体语言对于人们了解他人想法、感受的重要性,而此处描述的在商务和个人生活不同场景下,需要一个能体现与他人相处交往且通过这种相处去识别情感、照顾彼此利益的词,“interacting(互动,交往)” 就很好地契合了这一整体语境,它能涵盖不同场景下与他人打交道的情况,是顺着语篇围绕身体语言在人际交往中的作用这一核心思路来的。
25. B:根据后文提到面部表情和手势可能有多种含义,可知建立一个人行为的基线对于避免 “误解” 其肢体语言很重要。“misinterpreting”(误解)符合语境,“misguiding”(误导)、“mistrusting”(不信任)、“mismanaging”(管理不善)均不符合,所以选 B。
语篇层次题。文中先是指出 “establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important to avoid 25 their body language.(为一个人的行为建立一个基准对于避免…… 他们的身体语言是很重要的)”,随后解释 “Most facial expressions and gestures can mean several different things(大多数面部表情和手势可能意味着几种不同的情况)”。从语篇理解的层面,整个部分是在讲解如何准确通过身体语言去判断他人想法,因为身体语言的表意具有复杂性,所以才强调要建立基准,其目的就是避免错误解读,“misinterpreting(误解,曲解)” 准确地对应了语篇中关于身体语言理解存在难度以及要正确解读它这一整体内容,是基于对这一环节在整个语篇中作用的把握来选择的答案。
34. D:姿势也 “很重要”。“matters”(重要)符合语境,“adjusts”(调整)、“follows”(跟随)、“moves”(移动)均不符合姿势重要这一语境,所以选 D。
语篇层次题。文中先是在多处举例介绍身体语言的不同方面,像面部表情、动作等所传达的信息,接着提到 “And posture also 34. Sitting or standing up straight can show that someone feels confident, while sitting with crossed arms indicates that they feel 35 or uncomfortable.(姿势也……。坐直或站直能表明某人感觉自信,而交叉双臂坐着表明他们感觉…… 或不舒服)”。从语篇的角度出发,整体是在全面阐述身体语言的各个构成要素及其表意功能,姿势作为其中一部分,这里用 “matters(有关系,要紧)” 体现出姿势在整个身体语言体系中的重要性,它和前面所讲的面部表情等其他要素一样,都能传达人们内心的想法和感受,是对语篇围绕身体语言多方面表意展开论述的补充与完善,所以该题答案是基于语篇对身体语言整体构成及作用的描述来确定的。

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
After Christmas, the festive cheer fades, and you might feel down or dissatisfied with yourself when you look in the mirror. In January, you might want to make changes and find a new diet plan. Many of these plans, advertised with fit people or 1 before-and-after photos, promise to help you fit into your jeans, improve your skin, and lower health risks. But are these diets as 2 as they seem? Are they backed by solid evidence?
Celebrity endorsements (代言) can turn a diet into a popular trend, whether or not it has 3 backing. For example, the Raw Food diet, favored by stars like Uma Thurman, claims that cooking food 4 nutrients and enzymes (酶) that help digestion and prevent disease. Followers eat mostly uncooked plant-based foods, with the idea that it improves both health and memory. 5 , it makes perfect sense. When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke. “The Raw Food diet has the least scientific evidence or reasoning behind it,” says Dr Scott Harding, lecturer in nutritional sciences at King’s College London. “There is no way that eating raw food specifically improves people’s antioxidant (抗氧化的) capacity or directly 6 their risk of developing long-term diseases.”
Scientific reasoning might have quickly 7 raw food, but researchers have engaged more enthusiastically with other fashionable eating plans. Take the paleo diet, the most searched eating plan online. By basing the diet on the supposed eating habits of our lean, disease-free hunter-gatherer 8 , this plan promises weight loss, as well as a reduced risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The rules: no 9 food, sugar, dairy, or grains, just foods that can be hunted, fished or gathered. It sounds 10 , but is the science reliable?
Paleo’s problem is in its 11 . As critics have pointed out, our digestive systems and food have evolved significantly in the past 10 million years. Contrary to popular 12 of caveman’s meat-based and low-carb diet, evolutionary research suggests that our earlier ancestors fed frequently on nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables rather than meat and fish, Stone Age humans would have eaten around 20 different types of plant-based foods a day, says Dr Mark Berry, senior research and development manager at Unilever, who led a 2010 study into the paleolithic diet.
“It has been described as a low carb, no-grain diet, but the 13 form isn’t quite how it was,” says registered nutritionist and dietician Sue Baic, co-author of Nutrition for Dummies. “ 14 , the paleo diets had quite a lot of plant foods. The diets are characterized by low energy density, high fibre and plenty of beneficial plant compounds.” It’s the variety of these plant nutrients that is crucial to the diet’s 15 .

1.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:许多这类计划用身材健美的人或鼓舞人心的前后对比照做广告,承诺帮你穿上牛仔裤、改善皮肤、降低健康风险。A. unnatural不自然的;B. embarrassing令人尴尬的;C. rare稀有的;D. inspiring鼓舞人心的。根据下文的“before-and-after photos”和“promise to help you fit into your jeans, improve your skin, and lower health risks”可知,广告用的前后对比照应是“鼓舞人心的”,以吸引人们尝试。故选D项。
2.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:但这些节食计划真的像看起来那么好吗?A. great极好的;B. abstract抽象的;C. simple简单的;D. strange奇怪的。根据上文广告承诺的效果及下文“Are they backed by solid evidence?”的质疑可知,此处是问这些计划是否像看起来那么“好”。故选A项。
3.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:名人代言能让一种节食计划成为流行趋势,无论它是否有科学依据。A. financial金融的;B. scientific科学的;C. popular流行的;D. conditional有条件的。根据下文的“When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke.”可知,然而,当这种饮食接受科学检验时,却化为乌有,所以此处指的是无论饮食是否有“科学”依据,名人代言都可以使其成为流行趋势。故选B项。
4.考查动词词义辨析。句意:例如,Uma Thurman等明星青睐的生食饮食声称,烹饪会破坏有助于消化和预防疾病的营养物质和酶。A. absorbs吸收;B. destroys破坏;C. provides提供;D. increases增加。根据下文的“that help digestion and prevent disease”以及“Followers eat mostly uncooked plant-based foods, with the idea that it improves both health and memory.”可知,生食饮食的核心主张是吃未煮熟的食物,认为烹饪会“破坏”营养。故选B项。
5.考查介词短语辨析。句意:从理论上讲,这很有道理。A. In practice在实践中;B. By contrast相比之下;C. To date到目前为止;D. On paper从理论上讲。根据下文的“it makes perfect sense”以及“When under scientific examination, however, the diet goes up in smoke.”可知,前后为转折关系,即“从理论上讲”,生食饮食法很有道理,但实际上却缺乏科学依据。故选D项。

Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
Organizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people’s self-interest in the service of the common good. The 1 of a ticket keeps drivers in line, and the promise of a bonus inspires high performance. But incentives (激励) can also 2 , discouraging the very behaviour they’re meant to encourage.
A generation ago, Richard Titmuss claimed that paying people to donate blood 3 the supply. Economists were skeptical, citing a lack of scientific evidence. But since then, new data and models have prompted a sea change in how economists think about incentives — showing, among other things, that Titmuss was right in so many cases that businesses should 4 .
Experimental economists have found that offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity 5 the effect. Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called “the moral sentiments (情绪).” Psychology here has escaped blackboard economists, but it will be no surprise to people in business: When we take a job or buy a car, we are not only trying to get stuff — we are also trying to be a certain kind of person. 6 , people desire to be respected by others as ethical and dignified. And they don’t want to be taken for losers. Rewarding blood donations may not serve the intended purpose because it suggests that the donor is less interested in being 7 than in making a dollar. Incentives also run into trouble when they signal that the employee 8 the employee or is greedy. Close supervision of workers coupled with 9 for performance is textbook economics, but it can lead to the depression of employees.
Perhaps most important, incentives affect what our actions signal, whether we’re being self- interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted, and they can imply — sometimes wrongly — what 10 us. Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval(think of littering) can be highly effective. But incentives go wrong when they 11 or brake our ethical sensibilities.
This does not mean it’s 12 to appeal to self- interested and ethical motivations at the same time — just that efforts to do so often fail. 13 , policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self- interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness. The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 that 14 their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect. It caused offenders 15 while conveying a moral message. Carrying a plastic bag joined wearing a fur coat in the gallery of outdated and socially unacceptable practice.
1.A.temptation B.threat C.value D.equivalent
2.A.overflow B.backfire C.survive D.work
3.A.reduced B.affected C.afforded D.balanced
4.A.cut back B.stand by C.take note D.hold on

【导语】本文是议论文。文章指出组织和社会常用奖惩调控私利以服务公益,但奖惩有时会适得其反,还需兼顾道德情感,并举爱尔兰塑料袋税等案例说明。
1.考查名词词义辨析。句意:交通违章罚款单的威胁可使驾车者遵守交规,而关于奖金红利的许诺可以激发高业绩。A. temptation诱惑;B. threat威胁;C. value价值;D. equivalent对等的人;当量。根据上文“Organizations and societies rely on fines and rewards to control people’s self-interest in the service of the common good.(组织和社会通过罚款和奖励的方式来引导人们的个人利益,以服务于公共利益)”可知,各类组织和团体依靠罚款和奖金来控制人们在公益服务中的自私自利。因此推断交通罚单的威胁可以让司机有秩序。故选B。
2.考查动词词义辨析。句意:但是激励也可能产生适得其反的结果——减少原本想要鼓励的行为。 A. overflow溢出;B. backfire适得其反;C. survive幸存;D. work工作。根据下文“discouraging the very behaviour they’re meant to encourage.”可知,激励减少了原本要鼓励的行为,因此产生了适得其反的结果。故选B。
3.考查动词词义辨析。句意:约20—30年之前,理查德·蒂姆穆斯曾声称,付钱让人们献血反而会减少献血量。A. reduced减少;B. affected影响;C. afforded给予;提供;D. balanced保持稳定。根据上文“But incentives (激励) can also _______, discouraging the very behaviour they’re meant to encourage.”可知,激励可以产生适得其反的结果,减少原本要激励的行为,因此推断付钱让人们献血会减少供应。故选A。
4.考查动词短语辨析。句意:但自那以后,新的数据和模型促使经济学家对激励的看法发生了翻天覆地的变化——这表明,蒂姆穆斯在很多情况下都是正确的,企业应该注意到这一点。A. cut back削减;B. stand by支持;袖手旁观;C. take note注意,记笔记;D. hold on等一下;继续。根据上文“Titmuss was right in so many cases”可推断,蒂姆穆斯在很多情况下都是正确,因此企业应该注意。故选C。
5.考查动词词义辨析。 句意:实验经济学家发现,给献血女性提供报酬使愿意献血的人数减少了将近一半,而让她们将献血所得贡献给福利事业扭转了这个局面。A. cause导致;B. reverse撤销;颠倒;C. take拿;取;D. detect发现;觉察。根据第一段的“But incentives can also ______, discouraging the very behavior they're meant to encourage.”及本句前文的对比关系“offering to pay women for donating blood decreases the number willing to donate by almost half, and that letting them contribute the payment to charity”可推断,激励会产生适得其反的结果,因此推断给献血的女性报酬会导致没有更多的人献血,但是让她们把献血所得给福利事业就扭转了局面。故选B。
6.考查固定短语辨析。句意:恰恰相反,人们希望受到他人尊重,希望被看作是具有高尚道德和有尊严的人。A. In other words换句话说;B. On the contrary恰恰相反;C. By contrast相比之下;D. In addition此外。根据上文“Dozens of recent experiments show that rewarding self-interest with economic incentives can have the opposite result when they destroy what Adam Smith called “the moral sentiments.””可知,大量近期的实验表明,当激励损害了亚当·斯密所说的“道德情操”时,以经济激励奖赏私利可能产生适得其反的结果。因此推断,相反的,人们希望受到他人尊重,希望被看作是具有高尚道德和美好情操的人。故选B。
7.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:奖励献血可能达不到预期的目的,是因为它暗含“捐血者对无私奉献的兴趣少于对挣钱的热衷”之意。A. unselfish无私的;慷慨的;B. ambitious雄心勃勃的;C. thoughtful体贴的;D. aggressive咄咄逼人的。根据上文“letting them contribute the payment to charity”可知,此处说的是无私奉献与挣钱进行对比。故选A。
8.考查动词词义辨析。句意:当激励措施传递出“员工不信任员工”或者“员工贪婪”的信息时,这些激励措施也会出现问题。A. boasts自吹自擂;夸耀;B. values重视;C. encourages鼓励;D. mistrusts不信任。由下文的“greedy”可推断,此处表示激励措施传递出“员工不信任员工”或者“员工贪婪”的信息时,激励也会遇到麻烦,故选D。
9.考查名词词义辨析。句意:密切监督员工并对其表现进行奖励是典型的经济学,但这可能会导致员工的抑郁。A. requirement要求;B. criticism批评;C. implication暗示;D. reward奖赏。根据下文“for performance is textbook economics”和常识可知,员工会因为好的表现被给予奖励。故选D。
10.考查动词词义辨析。句意:或许最为重要的是,激励措施会影响我们的行为所传达的信息,无论我们是出于个人利益还是出于社会责任,是受到操纵还是被信任,而且它们有时还会暗示(尽管这些暗示可能并不准确)我们真正的动机是什么。A. supports支持;B. threatens威胁;C. motivates激励;D. change改变。由破折号后对前文“whether we’re being self- interested or civic-minded, manipulated or trusted(我们是自私自利还是热心公益,被操控还是被信任)”解释说明可知,此处说的是是什么激励了我们。故选C。
11.考查动词词义辨析。 句意:通过传达社会的不赞同来启发我们的道德情操的罚款或者公开批评(如乱丢垃圾)颇具成效。可是一旦触犯或者破坏了我们的道德感情,激励就会出问题。A. refine改善;B. offend冒犯;C. control控制;D. arouse引起。由But可推断,上下文是转折关系,根据上文“Fines or public criticism that appeal to our moral sentiments by signaling social disapproval (think of littering) can be highly effective.(通过展示社会的不满情绪(比如乱扔垃圾这种行为)来引发我们的道德情感从而实施罚款或公开谴责,这种做法往往非常有效)”可推断,触犯或者破坏道德情感会让激励出问题。故选B。
12.考查形容词词义辨析。句意:这并不意味着同时启发自私自利且合乎道德的动机是不可能的——只是这样的努力往往以失败告终。A. impossible不可能的;B. strange奇怪的;C. necessary必要的;D. abnormal不正常的。根据下文“policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self- interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness(政策不但要通过治理自私,而且要通过鼓励公共道德来拥护社会上受重视的目标)”可知,这并不意味着同时启发自私自利且合乎道德的动机是不可能的。故选A。
13.考查副词词义辨析。 句意:理想的状况下,政策不但要通过治理自私,而且要通过鼓励公共道德来拥护社会上受重视的目标。A. Rarely很少;B. Occasionally偶尔;C. Surprisingly出人意料地;D. Ideally理想地。根据后文“policies support socially valued ends not only by controlling self- interest but also by encouraging public-spiritedness”以及常识可知,既治理了自私又鼓励了公共道德是理想的。故选D。
14.考查动词短语辨析。句意:2002 年爱尔兰通过的一项针对塑料购物袋的小额征税法案,虽然只是在法律层面上实施,却确实促使其塑料袋的使用几乎完全消失,这一举措似乎确实产生了这样的效果。A. put an end to结束;B. resulted in导致;C. resorted to求助于;D. arose from由……引起。根据后文“their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect”可知,指针对塑料购物袋的小额征税法案导致其塑料袋的使用几乎完全消失,故选B。
15.考查副词词义辨析。句意:它在从金钱上惩罚违规者的同时,也传达了一种道德信息。 A. publicly公然地;B. severely严重地;C. monetarily财政地;从金钱上;D. mildly温和地。根据上文“The small tax on plastic grocery bags passed by law in Ireland in 2002 their virtual elimination appears to have had such an effect.(2002年爱尔兰通过的向塑料杂货袋征收小额税款(的法案)取得了实际上消除塑料袋的结果,这似乎就起到了这样的效果。)”可知,该法案从金钱上惩罚了冒犯者。故选C。

【答案】41-55 DBACB ACDAC BDCBD
【导读】文章主要是对比了在屏幕上阅读和纸质阅读的利弊。结论是,虽然数字设备适合阅读不需要深入理解或重复阅读的内容,但对于需要进行“深度阅读”的文本来说,纸质阅读几乎总是更好的选择。调查研究显示,大部分学生认为纸质阅读更适合学业,尤其是长篇文本。数字阅读容易分散注意力,容易引发多任务处理,而纸质阅读更利于专注。一些被调查者表示,在纸质阅读时很少分心,而在屏幕上阅读时则经常分心。针对喜欢纸质阅读的原因,调查结果显示,人们喜欢可以在纸张上做笔记、更容易记住材料和更容易集中注意力。对于不喜欢数字阅读的原因,一些被调查者表示数字阅读不是“真正的阅读”,还有人抱怨容易分心或无法吸收足够的信息。最后,文章呼吁教师和学者要关注学生对长篇阅读的拒绝,特别是数字技术进一步加剧了我们在引导学生进行严肃的以文本为基础的研究方面的挑战。
