The pleasant smell of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside an old-fashioned but attractive cabin in the eastern Chinese village, which houses Frank Sterzer's café: Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
Having worked as an engineer in Germany and China for over two decades, Frank discovered a new sense of purpose in Maoli village near Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Driven by a long-standing passion for coffee, he turned his hobby into a thriving enterprise by roasting quality beans. “Zhejiang's countryside offers great infrastructure (基础设施)and beautiful landscapes, making it the perfect place to launch a business,” says Frank. Maoli is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Ningbo, blending urban accessibility with rural peace.
To Frank, enjoying a cup of coffee along with homemade cake while taking in the rural views represents the peaceful lifestyle he wishes to share with his guests. “The café is a space where people can experience the charm of this mountain village,” he adds.
The name Bamboo Coffee Roasters comes from the plentiful bamboo surrounding Maoli, and its logo was inspired by Frank's photo of a local bamboo forest. Behind the shop, a small coffee factory houses excellent beans from around the world, stored beside softly humming roasting machines. Frank roasts up to 10 metric tons of beans a year, which has helped make the café a success.
Since its opening in June 2024, the café has quickly become a popular spot, drawing both local and international visitors, especially with China's expanded visa-free policies. Before the Spring Festival, guests came from various places. One tourist noted, “We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and business, purchasing local produce. Products such as honey oranges, bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets, thanks to the café’s popularity,” one tourist said.
24. What made Frank set up the café in Maoli?
A. The village's facilities and scenery.
B. China's expanded visa-free policies.
C. Frank's newly found enthusiasm.
D. The convenience in the rural area.
25. Which of the following details about the coffee roasting process at Bamboo Coffee Roasters is mentioned?
A. Frank personally delivers the roasted beans to customers in Ningbo.
B. The beans are sourced exclusively from farmers in Zhejiang province.
C. The roasting machines operate quietly in the background of the shop.
D. The annual production capacity of roasted beans reaches about ten metric tons.
26. What can be inferred about Frank Sterzer from the passage?
A. He values a peaceful lifestyle and cultural exchange more than a high-income city career.
B. He plans to open a chain of similar cafés in major Chinese cities in the near future.
C. His engineering background is directly responsible for the design of the roasting machines.
D. He chose the location primarily because of the low cost of land and labor in the countryside.
27. Why is the tourist remark mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To promote the sale of the local produce.
B. To prove guests promoted Frank's business.
C. To show Frank's business enhanced local economy.
D. To share the interest of tourists in exploring Ningbo.

After spending many years studying the effects of lightning on rainforests, Evan Gora, a forest ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, began wondering whether trees could not only survive this usually deadly event but also actually get some kind of advantage from it.
To find out, he and his colleagues spent several years following the cases of 93 trees from various species in the rainforest of central Panama when they were directly struck by lightning. Nine were from a species known as the almendro, a forest giant native to Central and South America that can grow up to 165 feet tall. After the trees were struck, the researchers continued to monitor the ones that survived the shock, checking their overall condition and noting whether the lightning killed neighboring trees and any parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) growing on them.
The results showed that the almendro trees were very resistant to lightning and minimally damaged compared with almost all the other tree species, which were severely damaged — 64 percent of the latter trees died within two years of being struck. A few other large species also survived the strikes and might have benefited as well, but lightning had not struck enough of these species for the researchers to be certain.
Many of the trees that had surrounded the almendros — competing with the species for water and nutrients — were killed by lightning that spread through their branches after it hit the almendro trees. This left more resources and space for the latter. Lightning strikes on the almendros also reduced the average number of parasitic vines on a tree by 78 percent, by killing them. These vines climb on top of the trees to “steal” light.
Equipped with data on lightning strike frequency and the trees’ survival rates after reaching a certain size, the team used computer models to estimate that a typical almendro is likely struck by lightning about five times during its 300-year lifespan. The researchers found that lightning strikes seem to be almost a necessity for the trees. Without the benefits the strikes bring, “they would not live as long,” Gora says.
28. How did the researchers study the effects of lightning on rainforest trees mainly?
A. By measuring vine growth rates.
B. By tracking struck trees for years.
C. By comparing multiple tree species.
D. By counting annual lightning strikes.
29. Why did the researchers focus on almendro trees in the study?
A. They grow tallest.
B. They attract most vines.
C. They resist lightning best.
D. They are widely distributed.
30. How do lightning strikes help almendro trees live longer?
A. By providing sufficient light.
B. By removing competing plants.
C. By strengthening tree branches.
D. By increasing nutrient absorption.
31. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Lightning's Role in Rainforest Ecology
B. The Survival of Struck Rainforest Trees
C. Why Some Trees Love Lightning Strike
D. Why Some Trees Resistant to Lightning Strike
D
Is learning equally effective whether students study in a classroom, at home, or in a café? And do virtual classrooms provide the same educational benefits as traditional in-person settings? Research increasingly suggests the answer is “no.” These differences stem from factors like environmental distractions, psychological engagement, and the social dynamics of physical spaces.
Studies indicate that for complex tasks requiring deep focus — such as mastering mathematical concepts or analyzing literature — students perform better in structured environments like classrooms or libraries compared to casual settings. Neuroscientists attribute this to “environmental anchoring,” where physical surroundings subconsciously signal the brain to prioritize sustained attention. A 2022 meta-analysis of 50 studies found that students retained 25% more information when learning in dedicated academic spaces versus informal locations.
The advantages of traditional classrooms extend beyond mere quietness. Physical classrooms provide consistent sensory cues — the arrangement of desks, wall-mounted educational posters, and even classroom lighting — that create neural pathways associated with academic focus. Students often unconsciously link specific knowledge to where they learned it, a phenomenon called “context-dependent memory.”
Cognitive scientists propose the “engagement threshold theory (参与度阈值理论)” to explain why virtual learning often under-performs. This theory assumes that digital environments condition users to adopt a “consumption mindset” similar to browsing social media, reducing willingness to engage in demanding cognitive tasks. While video lectures allow pause-and-review functions, brain scans reveal lower activity in critical thinking regions compared to live discussions.
Hybrid model — combining technology and traditional methods — show promise. For instance, a Stanford experiment found that students using augmented reality (AR) textbooks in classroom settings outperformed peers using either physical books alone or fully digital courses. Yet when the same AR tools were used at home, performance dropped by 18%, suggesting that technology’s benefits depend on environmental support.
While digital tools enable access to global resources, educators should recognize that learning spaces themselves are educational instruments. For cultivating analytical depth, the traditional classroom’s intentional design — often refined over centuries — remains surprisingly irreplaceable.
32. What does the underlined term “environmental anchoring” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Physical spaces triggering focused mental states.
B. The brain’s ability to multitask in various settings.
C. Students’ preference for visually appealing classrooms.
D. The use of technology to enhance learning environments.
33. According to the “engagement threshold theory,” why might virtual learning be less effective?
A. Digital content is oversimplified.
B. Students approach it with lower mental effort.
C. Technical faults interrupt concentration.
D. It lacks structured assessment methods.
34. What did the Stanford AR experiment demonstrate?
A. Physical textbooks are becoming outdated.
B. AR requires expensive classroom upgrades.
C. Students dislike mixing physical and digital tools.
D. Technology’s effectiveness relies on context.
35. What conclusion does the author draw about traditional classrooms?
A. They waste resources on unnecessary design.
B. Their structure discourages creative thinking.
C. Their educational value is partially irreplaceable.
D. They should adopt more digital technologies.

Practical Tips for Declining Without Guilt
Saying “no” can feel like an impossible task, even when we know it’s necessary. Psychologists explain that this difficulty often stems from fear of being seen as unkind or damaging relationships. However, constantly saying “yes” can lead to burnout and neglect priorities. ___36___ Here are five expert-backed strategies to help you decline gracefully.
Be intentional about your response.
When saying no, clarify that your decision isn’t personal. Vanessa Bohns, a professor at Cornell University, suggests thanking the person first. Then, follow up with a short explanation. For example, “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t take this on right now.” ___37___
Buy time.
If you tend to accidentally say “yes” whenever you’re put on the spot, find ways to buy time. ___38___ Phrases like “Let me check my schedule and get back to you” allow time to evaluate the request privately. This reduces pressure and helps you make a mindful choice.
Stay neutral in delivery.
Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen advises avoiding over-apologizing. Instead, deliver your refusal calmly, as if stating a simple fact. ___39___ For instance, declining a favor in the same tone you’d use to order coffee keeps the interaction neutral and avoids guilt.
___40___
Keep a photo or object that reminds you of what matters most — family, hobbies, or personal goals. When tempted to say yes, this visual cue strengthens your resolve. As Bohns notes, “Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.”
A. Say no to everything.
B Visualize your priorities.
C. Empathize, but stick to your original answer.
D. A delayed response can prevent hasty decisions.
E. Over-explaining your reasons builds mutual trust.
F. Learning to decline effectively is a skill worth mastering.
G. This approach prevents misunderstandings and maintains mutual respect.

How often do you___47___yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to ___48___ — only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?
This___49___me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which____50____is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.

Is xiaolongbao a bao or a dumpling? With international travel to China on the rise, thanks much in part ____56____ its friendlier tourist visa policies, foreigners will inevitably encounter some amusing restaurant menu translations as they experience various tasty ____57____ (delight).
But those who attempt to come up with English names for these dishes aren’t to blame for the often unusual and occasionally alarming results. Nor ____58____ (be) the translation apps. According to Yue, ____59____ associate professor of translation at the University of Hong Kong, translating Chinese food names into English is “an impossible task.”
____60____ (answer) why translating the names of these foods is so tricky, one needs to look at China’s long culinary history. Fuchsia Dunlop, a British food writer who ____61____ (specialize) in Chinese cuisine for over two decades, says the problem stems from the fact ____62____ certain words don’t even exist in English. “China has an ____63____ (extraordinary) complex culinary culture with a highly specific vocabulary, and in many cases, we do not have equivalents (对等物) in English,” she says.
____64____ recent years have seen improvements in online translation tools, Dunlop still encounters amusing mistranslations in her travels around China.
Among her favorite examples is stir-fried cabbage, which she saw _____65_____ (translate) as “handbag food”. This is because the word for Chinese cabbage, baocai, is made up of two Chinese characters. Bao means “bag,” and cai mean “food/vegetables”. Smiling, Dunlop suggests clearing up some popular misunderstandings before visiting China.

67. 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。
Lena was a 17-year-old girl who considered herself independent. For three years, her diary had been her only trusted friend. Every night, she would record everything in life — the math teacher’s blame, the broken relationship with deskmates, the crush (喜欢) on a boy, the stray dog, the leaking roof, even the way her mother talked to her.
The cold war began after that night — when Mom opened her schoolbag without warning, stuff fell out onto the floor—a half-finished love poem, a present prepared for her deskmate, and her private drawing book.
“What’re you doing on earth?” screamed Lena.
“I just want to check and keep you safe!” Mom’s voice cracked, her hands shaking.
“Safe? You just want to control me!” Lena cried, kicking the bag away. That night, Lena locked herself in her room, scribbling angry words into her diary: “This is my Privacy! I hate her! I’ll never forgive her!”
For a week Lena wouldn’t speak to her mother. One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home to find her diary missing from its usual spot under the pillow. Panic set in. Did Mom take it? She stormed into the kitchen, where her mother was washing vegetables, hands trembling slightly.
“Give it back!” Lena demanded.
Mom wiped her hands slowly, avoiding eye contact. “The roof leaked. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your notebook lying on the wet floor. I was drying it.” She pointed to the balcony, where the diary lay open under a hairdryer, pages fluttering.
Lena’s heart sank. Her deepest secrets — complaints about Mom, crushes on classmates — were now exposed. She grabbed the diary and ran back to her room, tears blurring her vision. Flipping through the pages, she noticed something strange: every angry entry was marked with a tiny red sticker (贴纸)。
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote “I hate you!” and found unfamiliar handwriting.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother’s room, diary in hand.

【原文】 Brandeis University has launched its study abroad program in San Juan, Puerto Rico, led by Sally Werner, professor of climate science. The program aims to get students to learn about the impacts of climate change on a Caribbean island that has been damaged by powerful hurricanes, rising seas and warming temperatures throughout the past decade. Over the course of five weeks in late May and June, 12 Brandeis students took environmental studies courses. They learned about basic knowledge of ocean and sustainable development issues that affect the entire Caribbean region. They also took a course in Spanish language and Puerto Rican culture. The trip also gave students the chance to live and work among locals who have lived through hurricanes. “I have seen how the strength and support of a community is crucial to rebuilding after climate change disasters and in overcoming climate change itself,” Werner said. That’s exactly the sort of lesson that Werner hopes all students take away from the program.

The pleasant smell of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside an old-fashioned but attractive cabin in the eastern Chinese village, which houses Frank Sterzer's café: Bamboo Coffee Roasters.
Having worked as an engineer in Germany and China for over two decades, Frank discovered a new sense of purpose in Maoli village near Ningbo, Zhejiang province. Driven by a long-standing passion for coffee, he turned his hobby into a thriving enterprise by roasting quality beans. “Zhejiang's countryside offers great infrastructure (基础设施)and beautiful landscapes, making it the perfect place to launch a business,” says Frank. Maoli is conveniently less than 30 minutes from downtown Ningbo, blending urban accessibility with rural peace.
To Frank, enjoying a cup of coffee along with homemade cake while taking in the rural views represents the peaceful lifestyle he wishes to share with his guests. “The café is a space where people can experience the charm of this mountain village,” he adds.
The name Bamboo Coffee Roasters comes from the plentiful bamboo surrounding Maoli, and its logo was inspired by Frank's photo of a local bamboo forest. Behind the shop, a small coffee factory houses excellent beans from around the world, stored beside softly humming roasting machines. Frank roasts up to 10 metric tons of beans a year, which has helped make the café a success.
Since its opening in June 2024, the café has quickly become a popular spot, drawing both local and international visitors, especially with China's expanded visa-free policies. Before the Spring Festival, guests came from various places. One tourist noted, “We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and business, purchasing local produce. Products such as honey oranges, bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets, thanks to the café’s popularity,” one tourist said.
24. What made Frank set up the café in Maoli?
A. The village's facilities and scenery.
B. China's expanded visa-free policies.
C. Frank's newly found enthusiasm.
D. The convenience in the rural area.
25. Which of the following details about the coffee roasting process at Bamboo Coffee Roasters is mentioned?
A. Frank personally delivers the roasted beans to customers in Ningbo.
B. The beans are sourced exclusively from farmers in Zhejiang province.
C. The roasting machines operate quietly in the background of the shop.
D. The annual production capacity of roasted beans reaches about ten metric tons.
26. What can be inferred about Frank Sterzer from the passage?
A. He values a peaceful lifestyle and cultural exchange more than a high-income city career.
B. He plans to open a chain of similar cafés in major Chinese cities in the near future.
C. His engineering background is directly responsible for the design of the roasting machines.
D. He chose the location primarily because of the low cost of land and labor in the countryside.
27. Why is the tourist remark mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To promote the sale of the local produce.
B. To prove guests promoted Frank's business.
C. To show Frank's business enhanced local economy.
D. To share the interest of tourists in exploring Ningbo.

After spending many years studying the effects of lightning on rainforests, Evan Gora, a forest ecologist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, began wondering whether trees could not only survive this usually deadly event but also actually get some kind of advantage from it.
To find out, he and his colleagues spent several years following the cases of 93 trees from various species in the rainforest of central Panama when they were directly struck by lightning. Nine were from a species known as the almendro, a forest giant native to Central and South America that can grow up to 165 feet tall. After the trees were struck, the researchers continued to monitor the ones that survived the shock, checking their overall condition and noting whether the lightning killed neighboring trees and any parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) growing on them.
The results showed that the almendro trees were very resistant to lightning and minimally damaged compared with almost all the other tree species, which were severely damaged — 64 percent of the latter trees died within two years of being struck. A few other large species also survived the strikes and might have benefited as well, but lightning had not struck enough of these species for the researchers to be certain.
Many of the trees that had surrounded the almendros — competing with the species for water and nutrients — were killed by lightning that spread through their branches after it hit the almendro trees. This left more resources and space for the latter. Lightning strikes on the almendros also reduced the average number of parasitic vines on a tree by 78 percent, by killing them. These vines climb on top of the trees to “steal” light.
Equipped with data on lightning strike frequency and the trees’ survival rates after reaching a certain size, the team used computer models to estimate that a typical almendro is likely struck by lightning about five times during its 300-year lifespan. The researchers found that lightning strikes seem to be almost a necessity for the trees. Without the benefits the strikes bring, “they would not live as long,” Gora says.
28. How did the researchers study the effects of lightning on rainforest trees mainly?
A. By measuring vine growth rates.
B. By tracking struck trees for years.
C. By comparing multiple tree species.
D. By counting annual lightning strikes.
29. Why did the researchers focus on almendro trees in the study?
A. They grow tallest.
B. They attract most vines.
C. They resist lightning best.
D. They are widely distributed.
30. How do lightning strikes help almendro trees live longer?
A. By providing sufficient light.
B. By removing competing plants.
C. By strengthening tree branches.
D. By increasing nutrient absorption.
31. What is the best title for this passage?
A. Lightning's Role in Rainforest Ecology
B. The Survival of Struck Rainforest Trees
C. Why Some Trees Love Lightning Strike
D. Why Some Trees Resistant to Lightning Strike
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了研究人员通过长期研究发现闪电对雨林中榄仁树的益处:它能移除竞争植物和寄生藤蔓,从而帮助这些树木获得更多资源、空间和光照,延长其寿命。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out, he and his colleagues spent several years following the cases of 93 trees from various species in the rainforest of central Panama when they were directly struck by lightning. Nine were from a species known as the almendro, a forest giant native to Central and South America that can grow up to 165 feet tall. After the trees were struck, the researchers continued to monitor the ones that survived the shock, checking their overall condition and noting whether the lightning killed neighboring trees and any parasitic vines (寄生藤蔓) growing on them.(为了找到答案,他和他的同事花了几年时间追踪巴拿马中部雨林中93棵不同物种的树木被闪电直接击中的情况。其中9棵来自一种名为榄仁的物种,这是一种原产于中美洲和南美洲的森林巨人,可以长到165英尺高。树木被击中后,研究人员继续监测那些在电击中幸存下来的树木,检查它们的整体状况,并注意闪电是否杀死了邻近的树木和生长在它们身上的任何寄生藤蔓。)”可知,研究人员在树木被闪电击中后,持续多年跟踪观察了93棵树的存活情况,记录它们的整体状况以及闪电对周围树木和寄生藤蔓的影响。因此,研究方法主要是长期跟踪被闪电击中的树木。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The results showed that the almendro trees were very resistant to lightning and minimally damaged compared with almost all the other tree species, which were severely damaged — 64 percent of the latter trees died within two years of being struck. (结果表明,与几乎所有其他严重受损的树种相比,榄仁树对闪电的抵抗力很强,受损程度很小——其他树种中有64%的树木在遭受雷击后两年内死亡。)”可知,榄仁树对闪电的抵抗力很强,与其他树种相比受损最小,而其他树种大多严重受损甚至死亡。因此,研究人员重点关注 榄仁树是因为它们对闪电的抵抗力最强。故选C。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Many of the trees that had surrounded the almendros — competing with the species for water and nutrients — were killed by lightning that spread through their branches after it hit the almendro trees. This left more resources and space for the latter. Lightning strikes on the almendros also reduced the average number of parasitic vines on a tree by 78 percent, by killing them. These vines climb on top of the trees to “steal” light.(许多包围着棕榈树的树木——与该物种争夺水和营养——在击中棕榈树后,被闪电击中树枝而死亡。这为后者留下了更多的资源和空间。对榄仁树的雷击也使树上寄生藤蔓的平均数量减少了78%,杀死了它们。这些藤蔓爬到树顶上“偷”光。)”可知,闪电会杀死 榄仁树周围的竞争树种和寄生藤蔓,从而减少资源竞争,为榄仁树提供更多生存空间和养分。因此,闪电通过清除榄仁树的竞争植物帮助其延长寿命。故选B。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第五段“Without the benefits the strikes bring, “they would not live as long,” Gora says.(Gora说,如果没有闪电带来的好处,“它们不会活那么久”。)”文章主要探讨某些树种(尤其是 almendro树)不仅能抵抗闪电,还能从中受益(如清除竞争者),从而提高生存几率。选项 C“为什么有些树喜欢闪电雷击”最贴合主旨,适合用作标题。故选C。
D
Is learning equally effective whether students study in a classroom, at home, or in a café? And do virtual classrooms provide the same educational benefits as traditional in-person settings? Research increasingly suggests the answer is “no.” These differences stem from factors like environmental distractions, psychological engagement, and the social dynamics of physical spaces.
Studies indicate that for complex tasks requiring deep focus — such as mastering mathematical concepts or analyzing literature — students perform better in structured environments like classrooms or libraries compared to casual settings. Neuroscientists attribute this to “environmental anchoring,” where physical surroundings subconsciously signal the brain to prioritize sustained attention. A 2022 meta-analysis of 50 studies found that students retained 25% more information when learning in dedicated academic spaces versus informal locations.
The advantages of traditional classrooms extend beyond mere quietness. Physical classrooms provide consistent sensory cues — the arrangement of desks, wall-mounted educational posters, and even classroom lighting — that create neural pathways associated with academic focus. Students often unconsciously link specific knowledge to where they learned it, a phenomenon called “context-dependent memory.”
Cognitive scientists propose the “engagement threshold theory (参与度阈值理论)” to explain why virtual learning often under-performs. This theory assumes that digital environments condition users to adopt a “consumption mindset” similar to browsing social media, reducing willingness to engage in demanding cognitive tasks. While video lectures allow pause-and-review functions, brain scans reveal lower activity in critical thinking regions compared to live discussions.
Hybrid model — combining technology and traditional methods — show promise. For instance, a Stanford experiment found that students using augmented reality (AR) textbooks in classroom settings outperformed peers using either physical books alone or fully digital courses. Yet when the same AR tools were used at home, performance dropped by 18%, suggesting that technology’s benefits depend on environmental support.
While digital tools enable access to global resources, educators should recognize that learning spaces themselves are educational instruments. For cultivating analytical depth, the traditional classroom’s intentional design — often refined over centuries — remains surprisingly irreplaceable.
32. What does the underlined term “environmental anchoring” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Physical spaces triggering focused mental states.
B. The brain’s ability to multitask in various settings.
C. Students’ preference for visually appealing classrooms.
D. The use of technology to enhance learning environments.
33. According to the “engagement threshold theory,” why might virtual learning be less effective?
A. Digital content is oversimplified.
B. Students approach it with lower mental effort.
C. Technical faults interrupt concentration.
D. It lacks structured assessment methods.
34. What did the Stanford AR experiment demonstrate?
A. Physical textbooks are becoming outdated.
B. AR requires expensive classroom upgrades.
C. Students dislike mixing physical and digital tools.
D. Technology’s effectiveness relies on context.
35. What conclusion does the author draw about traditional classrooms?
A. They waste resources on unnecessary design.
B. Their structure discourages creative thinking.
C. Their educational value is partially irreplaceable.
D. They should adopt more digital technologies.
【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了不同学习环境对学习效果的影响,指出传统教室有不可替代的教育价值,混合模式有前景但技术效果依赖环境。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语后定语从句“...where physical surroundings subconsciously signal the brain to prioritize sustained attention. (即物理环境会下意识地向大脑发出信号,让大脑优先保持持续的注意力)”就是对短语environmental anchoring的解释说明,在物理环境会下让大脑优先保持持续的注意力,即:物理空间触发专注的精神状态。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Cognitive scientists propose the ‘engagement threshold theory (参与度阈值理论)’ to explain why virtual learning often under-performs. This theory assumes that digital environments condition users to adopt a ‘consumption mindset’ similar to browsing social media, reducing willingness to engage in demanding cognitive tasks. (认知科学家提出了‘投入阈值理论’来解释为什么虚拟学习往往表现不佳。该理论认为,数字环境会让用户形成一种类似于浏览社交媒体的‘消费心态’,降低了他们参与高要求认知任务的意愿)”可知,根据“参与度阈值理论”,数字环境会让用户形成一种类似于浏览社交媒体的‘消费心态’,降低了他们参与高要求认知任务的意愿,也就是说,学生在数字虚拟环境中,有类似于浏览社交媒体的心态,不愿参与高要求认知任务,投入的脑力较少。所以,虚拟学习效果较差是因为学生投入的脑力较少。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“For instance, a Stanford experiment found that students using augmented reality (AR) textbooks in classroom settings outperformed peers using either physical books alone or fully digital courses. Yet when the same AR tools were used at home, performance dropped by 18%, suggesting that technology’s benefits depend on environmental support. (例如,斯坦福大学的一项实验发现,在课堂上使用增强现实(AR)教科书的学生比只使用实体书或完全数字化课程的学生表现得更好。然而,当同样的增强现实工具在家中使用时,成绩下降了18%,这表明技术的好处依赖于环境支持)”可知,斯坦福的增强现实实验表明技术的有效性依赖于环境。故选D项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“For cultivating analytical depth, the traditional classroom’s intentional design — often refined over centuries — remains surprisingly irreplaceable. (为了培养分析能力,传统教室经过几个世纪精心设计,其教育价值仍然令人惊讶地不可替代)”可知,作者得出的结论是传统教室的教育价值部分不可替代。故选C项。

Practical Tips for Declining Without Guilt
Saying “no” can feel like an impossible task, even when we know it’s necessary. Psychologists explain that this difficulty often stems from fear of being seen as unkind or damaging relationships. However, constantly saying “yes” can lead to burnout and neglect priorities. ___36___ Here are five expert-backed strategies to help you decline gracefully.
Be intentional about your response.
When saying no, clarify that your decision isn’t personal. Vanessa Bohns, a professor at Cornell University, suggests thanking the person first. Then, follow up with a short explanation. For example, “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t take this on right now.” ___37___
Buy time.
If you tend to accidentally say “yes” whenever you’re put on the spot, find ways to buy time. ___38___ Phrases like “Let me check my schedule and get back to you” allow time to evaluate the request privately. This reduces pressure and helps you make a mindful choice.
Stay neutral in delivery.
Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen advises avoiding over-apologizing. Instead, deliver your refusal calmly, as if stating a simple fact. ___39___ For instance, declining a favor in the same tone you’d use to order coffee keeps the interaction neutral and avoids guilt.
___40___
Keep a photo or object that reminds you of what matters most — family, hobbies, or personal goals. When tempted to say yes, this visual cue strengthens your resolve. As Bohns notes, “Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.”
A. Say no to everything.
B. Visualize your priorities.
C. Empathize, but stick to your original answer.
D. A delayed response can prevent hasty decisions.
E. Over-explaining your reasons builds mutual trust.
F. Learning to decline effectively is a skill worth mastering.
G This approach prevents misunderstandings and maintains mutual respect.
【答案】36. F 37. G 38. D 39. C 40. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章围绕“如何不带愧疚地拒绝他人”展开,探讨了人们因害怕被视作不友善或破坏关系而难以说“不”的心理根源,并提出五个具体策略帮助读者优雅拒绝。
【36题详解】
上文“However, constantly saying ‘yes’ can lead to burnout and neglect priorities.(然而,不断地说‘是’会导致倦怠和忽视优先事项)”指出过度妥协的危害,下文“Here are five expert-backed strategies to help you decline gracefully.(这里有五个专家支持的策略来帮助你优雅地拒绝)”指出有五个有帮助的策略,空处需承上启下,F项“学会有效地拒绝是一项值得掌握的技能”既呼应前文问题,又为下文策略作出铺垫,逻辑连贯,故选F。
【37题详解】
根据上文“When saying no, clarify that your decision isn’t personal. Vanessa Bohns, a professor at Cornell University, suggests thanking the person first. Then, follow up with a short explanation. For example, “I appreciate you asking, but I can’t take this on right now.”(说‘不’的时候,要说明你的决定不是针对个人的。康奈尔大学教授Vanessa Bohns建议先感谢对方。然后,做一个简短的解释。例如,‘我很感谢你的邀请,但我现在不能接受这个。’)”可知,本段的策略强调拒绝时需强调“非针对个人”,并以感谢和简短解释为例,G项“这种方式避免了误解,保持了相互尊重”直接说明该策略的效果——防止误解并维持尊重,故选G。
【38题详解】
根据上文“If you tend to accidentally say “yes” whenever you’re put on the spot, find ways to buy time.(如果你在遇到困难的时候总是不小心说“是”,那就想办法争取时间)”和下文“Phrases like ‘Let me check my schedule and get back to you’ allow time to evaluate the request privately. This reduces pressure and helps you make a mindful choice.(像“让我看看我的日程安排,然后再给你答复”这样的话可以让你有时间私下评估这个要求。这样可以减少压力,帮助你做出明智的选择)”可知,本段描述的策略是“争取时间”,核心是避免冲动答应,D项“延迟的反应可以防止草率的决定”精准概括该段核心逻辑,且后文举例进一步支持此观点,故选D。
【39题详解】
根据本段小标题“Stay neutral in delivery.(在言辞中保持中立)”和上文“Clinical psychologist Ellen Hendriksen advises avoiding over-apologizing. Instead, deliver your refusal calmly, as if stating a simple fact.(临床心理学家Ellen Hendriksen建议避免过度道歉。相反,你应该平静地拒绝,就像陈述一个简单的事实一样)”可知,本段描述的策略是“保持中立态度”,避免过度道歉,C项“要有同理心,但要坚持你最初的答案”与本段主题呼应,故选C。
【40题详解】
根据本段内容“Keep a photo or object that reminds you of what matters most — family, hobbies, or personal goals. When tempted to say yes, this visual cue strengthens your resolve. As Bohns notes, ‘Saying yes to one thing means saying no to another.’(放一张照片或一件物品,提醒你什么是最重要的——家庭、爱好或个人目标。当你想说‘是’的时候,这种视觉暗示会增强你的决心。正如Bohns所说,‘答应一件事就意味着拒绝另一件事。’)”可知,本段提出通过视觉提醒(如照片)坚定拒绝的决心,B项“视觉化你的优先级”直接概括该段主题,且与文中“提醒重要事项”的内容一致,故选B。

第二节 语法填空(共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Is xiaolongbao a bao or a dumpling? With international travel to China on the rise, thanks much in part ____56____ its friendlier tourist visa policies, foreigners will inevitably encounter some amusing restaurant menu translations as they experience various tasty ____57____ (delight).
But those who attempt to come up with English names for these dishes aren’t to blame for the often unusual and occasionally alarming results. Nor ____58____ (be) the translation apps. According to Yue, ____59____ associate professor of translation at the University of Hong Kong, translating Chinese food names into English is “an impossible task.”
____60____ (answer) why translating the names of these foods is so tricky, one needs to look at China’s long culinary history. Fuchsia Dunlop, a British food writer who ____61____ (specialize) in Chinese cuisine for over two decades, says the problem stems from the fact ____62____ certain words don’t even exist in English. “China has an ____63____ (extraordinary) complex culinary culture with a highly specific vocabulary, and in many cases, we do not have equivalents (对等物) in English,” she says.
____64____ recent years have seen improvements in online translation tools, Dunlop still encounters amusing mistranslations in her travels around China.
Among her favorite examples is stir-fried cabbage, which she saw _____65_____ (translate) as “handbag food”. This is because the word for Chinese cabbage, baocai, is made up of two Chinese characters. Bao means “bag,” and cai mean “food/vegetables”. Smiling, Dunlop suggests clearing up some popular misunderstandings before visiting China.
【答案】56. to 57. delights
58. are 59. an
60. To answer
61. has specialized
62. that 63. extraordinarily
64. While##Though##Although
65. translated
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了中餐名翻译成英语的困难,指出由于中国饮食文化的独特性和词汇的复杂性,加上英语中缺乏对应表达,导致菜单常出现滑稽的误译,即使现代翻译工具也难以完全解决这一问题。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:随着国际旅行者因中国更友好的签证政策增多,外国人在品尝各种美味时,难免会遇到一些滑稽的菜单翻译。固定短语thanks to表示“由于,因为”。故填to。
【57题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:随着国际旅行者因中国更友好的签证政策增多,外国人在品尝各种美味时,难免会遇到一些滑稽的菜单翻译。空处作experience的宾语,delight“美味的享受”为可数名词,根据“various”可知,delight应用复数形式。故填delights。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:翻译软件也不是罪魁祸首。Nor置于句首,引起句子倒装,空处作句子的谓语,结合上一句可知,此处在描述当前的情况,时态应用一般现在时,且主语apps是复数,be动词应用are。故填are。
【59题详解】
考查冠词。句意:香港大学翻译学副教授Yue指出,中餐名英译是“不可能的任务”。空处表示泛指,意为“一名副教授”,应用不定冠词,且associate的发音以元音音素开头,应用an。故填an。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:为了解答这些食物名称的翻译难题,需回溯中国悠久的饮食史。空处句子已有谓语,空处是非谓语,作目的状语,表示“为了……”,应用answer“回答,解答”的不定式形式,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填To answer。
【61题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:专研中餐二十余年的英国作家Fuchsia Dunlop表示,问题根源在于英语中缺乏对应词汇。空处作who引导的定语从句的谓语,先行词writer在从句中作主语,结合“for over two decades”可知,时态应用现在完成时,表示过去的动作持续到现在,且主语是单数,助动词应用has。故填has specialized。
【62题详解】
考查同位语从句。句意:专研中餐二十余年的英国作家Fuchsia Dunlop表示,问题根源在于英语中缺乏对应词汇。空处引导名词性从句作fact的同位语,同位语从句的成分和语义均完整,应用连接词that作引导词。故填that。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:她说:“中国饮食文化极其复杂,术语高度专精,英语常无对应表达。”空处修饰形容词complex,应用副词extraordinarily,意为“极其”。故填extraordinarily。
【64题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意:尽管在线翻译工具近年有改进,Fuchsia仍在中国旅行时遇到可笑的误译。前后句之间是让步关系,空处引导让步状语从句,应用意为“虽然,尽管”的从属连词while、though或although,句首单词的首字母需大写。故填While/Though/Although。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她最爱的例子是炒包菜被译作“手提包食物”,因“包菜”由“包”(包,袋)和“菜”(食物/蔬菜)组成。空处作which引导的定语从句的宾语补足语,先行词stir-fried cabbage在从句中作宾语,translate“翻译”和stir-fried cabbage逻辑上是被动关系,因此用translate的过去分词形式。故填translated。

第二节 (满分25分)
67. 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。
Lena was a 17-year-old girl who considered herself independent. For three years, her diary had been her only trusted friend. Every night, she would record everything in life — the math teacher’s blame, the broken relationship with deskmates, the crush (喜欢) on a boy, the stray dog, the leaking roof, even the way her mother talked to her.
The cold war began after that night — when Mom opened her schoolbag without warning, stuff fell out onto the floor—a half-finished love poem, a present prepared for her deskmate, and her private drawing book.
“What’re you doing on earth?” screamed Lena.
“I just want to check and keep you safe!” Mom’s voice cracked, her hands shaking.
“Safe? You just want to control me!” Lena cried, kicking the bag away. That night, Lena locked herself in her room, scribbling angry words into her diary: “This is my Privacy! I hate her! I’ll never forgive her!”
For a week Lena wouldn’t speak to her mother. One rainy afternoon, Lena returned home to find her diary missing from its usual spot under the pillow. Panic set in. Did Mom take it? She stormed into the kitchen, where her mother was washing vegetables, hands trembling slightly.
“Give it back!” Lena demanded.
Mom wiped her hands slowly, avoiding eye contact. “The roof leaked. I was cleaning up the mess in your room when I found your notebook lying on the wet floor. I was drying it.” She pointed to the balcony, where the diary lay open under a hairdryer, pages fluttering.
Lena’s heart sank. Her deepest secrets — complaints about Mom, crushes on classmates — were now exposed. She grabbed the diary and ran back to her room, tears blurring her vision. Flipping through the pages, she noticed something strange: every angry entry was marked with a tiny red sticker (贴纸)。
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote “I hate you!” and found unfamiliar handwriting.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother’s room, diary in hand.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Curious, Lena turned to the page where she wrote“I hate you!” and found unfamiliar handwriting. “Lena, I noticed you wrote this after our argument. I’m sorry for hurting you. — Mom” The words blurred as tears welled up. She wildly checked other marked pages — each had a brief response: encouragement after her exam failure,comfort when she mentioned loneliness, apologies for misunderstanding. Her chest ached with a strange warmth. The “invasion of privacy” was actually Mom’s silent way of staying connected. Guilty and grateful, Lena realized that it was time to walk through the door.
That night, Lena tiptoed into her mother’s room, diary in hand. The door was left open. Moonlight revealed Mom sitting upright by the window. “Sorry, Mom. Did you...wait for me?” Lena burst into tears, sobbing, “It was my fault, Mom. I shouldn’t have written those bad words. I didn’t mean to...” “That’s alright! Parents forget their children need locked drawers just like they once did. “Mom interrupted Lena and promised,” I will never... “Lena stopped her mother, looking into her eyes with a smile,” I understand, Mom. “Touching the red stickers on her diary entries, Lena found they were the magic bandages mending the cracks between mother and daughter.”
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。17岁独立女孩Lena视日记为挚友。因妈妈擅自翻书包,母女冷战。后Lena发现日记不见,以为被妈妈拿了,质问后得知妈妈在帮她吹干被漏雨淋湿的日记,她发现日记里每篇生气的内容都被贴了小红贴纸。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“好奇的是,Lena翻到她写“我恨你!”的那一页,发现了不熟悉的笔迹。”可知,第一段可描写Lena发现日记中妈妈的回应,从愤怒到理解的心理变化,意识到妈妈的爱。
②由第二段句首内容“那天晚上,Lena手里拿着日记,蹑手蹑脚地走进妈妈的房间。”可知,第二段可描写Lena深夜找妈妈,母女俩的对话、动作与情感交流,以贴纸象征母女关系修复。
2.续写线索:发现贴纸回应——理解妈妈用心——深夜主动和解——母女温情对话——贴纸象征修复——关系重归亲密
3.词汇激活
行为类
①检查:check/examine/go over
②道歉:apologize /say sorry /make an apology
③打断:interrupted/cut in
情绪类
①内疚的:guilty/conscience-stricken
②感激的:grateful/thankful/appreciative
【点睛】【高分句型1】The words blurred as tears welled up. (运用了as引导的时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】Guilty and grateful, Lena realized that it was time to walk through the door. (运用了形容词短语作状语以及that引导的宾语从句)
