As April 18 marks the International Day for Monuments and Sites, also known as World Heritage Day, we’ve selected four archaeological (考古的) sites in China that deserve exploration.
Zhoukoudian, Beijing
Zhoukoudian, a UNESCO heritage site located 50 km from downtown Beijing, has been a significant site. At various parts of the site, scientists have unearthed the remains of early human “Peking Man” that date back more than 500,000 years, as well as of “Shandingdong Man”, who lived 30,000 years ago.
Sanxingdui Ruins site, Sichuan province
As one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remains of the Shu Kingdom, dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years.
The ruins are located in Guanghan city in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, covering 12 square kilometers.

【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As April 18 marks the International Day for Monuments and Sites, also known as World Heritage Day, we’ve selected four archaeological (考古的) sites in China that deserve exploration.(4月18日是国际古迹和遗址日,也被称为世界遗产日,我们在中国选择了四个值得探索的考古遗址)”及全文内容可知,本文介绍了四处考古遗址,可以在一本旅行指南中找到。故选D。
B
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth, I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every family was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize (批评) one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s delicious, and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
4. Why can the British friend not understand when he found Chinese love eating sunflower seeds?
A. Because the seeds are too hard to crack.
B. Because he thinks they are harmful to teeth.
C. Because he doesn’t think the seeds are worth eating.
D. Because he doesn’t think the seeds are good.
5. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
A. The families get together for it. B. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
6. What’s the writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread?
A. Uncaring. B. Negative. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.
7. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage?
A. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章用中国人喜欢嗑瓜子和丹麦人喜欢吃面包配咸红鱼来证明饮食习惯来自特定的文化。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.(我的朋友不喜欢葵花籽,对他来说,似乎没有必要为了得到一颗小种子而付出那么多的努力)”可知,作者的外国朋友认为葵花子不值得吃,所以当这位英国朋友发现中国人喜欢吃葵花籽时,他并不理解。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. (其中一些菜是稍后提供给我们的祖先的,而其他的则是供邻居和孩子们在晚宴前吃的。那时我一定已经学会了如何破嗑葵花籽)”可知,春节的时候桌子上会摆放很多美食,其中就有瓜子,小孩在可以在年夜饭前吃,作者就是在那时学会了嗑瓜子。由此可知,作者提到春节是为了证明嗑瓜子和春节有关。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.(我认为这是一个很好的传统)”可知,作者对丹麦吃面包的方式认为是可以理解的。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They think it’s a delicacy, and it’s connected to their certain culture.(他们认为这样吃面包是美味的,这和他们的特定的文化有关,正如作者喜欢嗑瓜子和春节文化有关)”可知,作者想在这篇文章中表达的观点是,饮食习惯来自特定的文化.故选A。
C
When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow(深奥的)novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book.
It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”.
The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favored books into a trend-driven accessory(配饰), said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman.
BookTok is seen as performative, with trendy books going viral not because of the quality of the literature but because it suggests an increasingly fashionable, intellectual- looking style. And when reading becomes a competition, with countless users showing off about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to demonstrating yourself to be an eager reader. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are feed-friendly.
But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with a boost in visits to UK libraries.
One of life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling into a story” and “tuning the world out”, without “worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”.
8. Why do some people engage in performative reading?
A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits.
C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature.
9. What risk does turning books into accessories create?
A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline.
C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get ignored.
10. What does the underlined word “uptick” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. drop B. increase C. change D. loss
11. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be ________.
A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials
C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without direct intervention
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“表演性阅读”现象的成因、影响,并最终强调阅读的本质在于个人沉浸式体验。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They’re signalling they have the ‘taste and attention span’ to ‘pick up a physical book’(他们传递着拥有阅读“品味和专注力”的信号)”可知,表演性阅读者旨在通过阅读行为塑造自身形象。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“And when reading becomes a competition, with countless users showing off about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to demonstrating yourself to be an eager reader. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are feed-friendly.(当阅读变成一场竞赛,无数用户炫耀自己一个月读完了超过35本书时,书籍质量便退居次要地位,展现求知若渴的形象反而成为首要目标。这种趋势还可能导致出版商将资源集中在推广适合在社交平台传播的书籍——这无疑隐含着危机。)”可推知,当书本被当成配饰时,书本的有意义的内容可能因此被忽视。故选D。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中“the virality of literature has led to an... in book sales(文学的病毒式传播导致书籍销售……)”与后文“In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with a boost in visits to UK libraries.(2023年,英国实体书销量达到6.69亿本,创下历史最高水平,同时英国图书馆的访问量也有所增加。)”的因果关系,可推断uptick 表积极趋势,意为“上升”。故选B。
【11题详解】
观点态度题。根据末段Demopoulos主张“next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone (下次当你在咖啡店或公园看到有人拿着书时候,不要打扰他们)”可知,她认为应尊重阅读者而不加干预。故选D。
D
Is your green my green? Probably not. What appears as pure green to me is likely to look a bit yellowish or bluish to you. Moreover, an object’s color may appear differently against different backgrounds or under different lighting. It might naturally lead you to think colors are relative to observers and viewing conditions, and so nothing has a true color. But perceptual variation is misleading. We argue in the book The Metaphysics of Colors that colors are as objective as temperature.
People’s choices vary significantly when asked to pick the “unique green” from a selection of color chips. A gray object appears darker against a lighter background than a darker one, and a red apple might look green or blue under different lighting. These facts don’t negate the objectivity of colors. An apple’s redness remains unchanged even if it appears differently under certain conditions. In other words, the properties of an object are independent of how they appear to you.
To determine an object’s color, place it beside another object under the same lighting and background conditions. If no differences are detected by observers, the colors are considered the same. This ability to match colors shows their objectivity is independent of individual perception, much like the temperature of water is independent of how cold it feels to different people.
In the field of color science, scientific laws are used to explain how objects and light affect perception and the colors of other objects. Such laws, for instance, predict what happens when you mix colored paints, and when you look at colored objects in various lighting conditions. Philosophers like Hilary Putnam argue that if something is essential to science, it must be real and objective.
Colors are also meaningful in the survival and evolution of animals. Many animals use colors strategically to send warning signals or attract mates. For example, some dam selfish (雀鲷鱼)have ultraviolet patterns that can only be seen by their species, aiding recognition and mating while hiding from predators that cannot perceive ultraviolet light.
In sum, our ability to determine whether objects are colored the same or differently and the essential roles they play in science suggest that colors are as real and objective as temperature.
12. What is the misleading belief about color?
A. Everything has a true color. B. Colors are generally subjective.
C. Yellowish and bluish are puzzling. D. Colors aren’t affected by conditions.
13. What’s the author’s suggestion for determining an object’s color?
A. Detect consistent lighting and backgrounds.
B. Match colors using independent perception.
C. Exchange disagreements with other observers.
D. Make comparisons under the same conditions.
14. Why does the author mention dam selfish in paragraph 5?
A To explain a concept. B. To illustrate a rule.
C. To introduce a theory. D. To prove an argument.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Laws of Colors. B. Green Is Green.
C Colors and Temperature. D. Colors in Evolution.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了颜色的客观性问题,反驳了颜色是主观感知的观点,并通过科学原理和生物进化实例论证颜色具有客观性,如同温度一样真实存在。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“It might naturally lead you to think colors are relative to observers and viewing conditions, and so nothing has a true color. But perceptual variation is misleading.(这可能会自然地让你认为颜色是相对于观察者和观察条件而言的,所以没有什么东西有真正的颜色。但感知上的变化是具有误导性的。)”可知,人们通常会认为颜色是相对的,即主观的,这是一种误导性的信念。所以关于颜色的误导性信念是颜色通常是主观的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“To determine an object’s color, place it beside another object under the same lighting and background conditions. If no differences are detected by observers, the colors are considered the same.(为了确定一个物体的颜色,把它放在另一个物体旁边,在相同的照明和背景条件下。如果观察者没有发现差异,则认为颜色相同。)”可知,作者建议在相同条件下进行比较来确定物体的颜色。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Colors are also meaningful in the survival and evolution of animals. Many animals use colors strategically to send warning signals or attract mates.For example, some dam selfish have ultraviolet patterns that can only be seen by their species, aiding recognition and mating while hiding from predators that cannot perceive ultraviolet light.(颜色在动物的生存和进化中也具有重要意义。许多动物有策略地使用颜色来发出警告信号或吸引配偶。例如,一些雀鲷鱼具有只能被其物种看到的紫外线模式,有助于识别和交配,同时躲避无法感知紫外线的捕食者。)”可知作者提到雀鲷鱼是为了证明颜色在动物生存和进化中具有重要意义这一观点,也就是证明前面提出的关于颜色具有客观性的论点。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇提到“Is your green my green? Probably not. What appears as pure green to me is likely to look a bit yellowish or bluish to you.(你眼中的绿色是我的绿色吗?可能不是。在我看来是纯绿色的东西,在你看来可能有点偏黄或偏蓝。)”,描述了不同人对颜色感知可能不同这一现象,后文展开论述,如第二段中的“An apple’s redness remains unchanged even if it appears differently under certain conditions. In other words, the properties of an object are independent of how they appear to you.(即使苹果在某些条件下看起来不同,它的红色仍然不变。换句话说,物体的属性与它们在你眼中的样子无关。)”和第三段中的“This ability to match colors shows their objectivity is independent of individual perception, much like the temperature of water is independent of how cold it feels to different people.(这种匹配颜色的能力表明它们的客观性独立于个人的感知,就像水的温度独立于不同人对它的寒冷感觉一样。)”,最后一段得出结论“In sum, our ability to determine whether objects are colored the same or differently and the essential roles they play in science suggest that colors are as real and objective as temperature.(总之,我们确定物体颜色是否相同或不同的能力,以及它们在科学中发挥的重要作用,表明颜色和温度一样真实和客观。)”可知,颜色具有客观性,就如同温度一样,不管人们感知如何,颜色有其自身客观属性。故选项B(绿色就是绿色。)能够概括全文,故选B项。
E
When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior.
Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements.
___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures.
To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation.
To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___
A. That is how we remain human.
B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency.
C. In many cases they save us considerable time.
D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm.
E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions.
F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”.
G An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了人们对算法推荐的依赖现象,强调保持人类自主决策能力的重要性。
【16题详解】
前文“When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. (当你登录社交媒体时,是否有算法管理你的推送?网上购物时,你是否常关注AI推荐的置顶商品?如果回答“是”,大多数时候你会听从算法推荐)”描述人们普遍跟随算法推荐的行为,后文“As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior. (顾名思义,这个术语指的是我们日益倾向于将决策权交给那些旨在预测和控制我们行为的系统)”给出对这一现象的专业定义,因此F项“Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”. (心理学家将这种常见现象称为“算法依赖”)”符合语境,给出该现象的术语,承前启后,其中的this common practice指代前文行为,algorithmic dependence是后文的the term指代的对象。故选F。
【17题详解】
前文“Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. (现在,接受算法建议从根本上来说并无不妥)”肯定算法的合理性,后文“But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. (但正如滴水穿石般,对AI推荐的反复依赖会逐渐削弱我们独立判断的能力,甚至动摇自我认知的根基)”指出长期依赖算法的危害,因此C项“In many cases they save us considerable time. (在许多情况下,它们为我们节省大量时间)”符合语境,具体说明算法节省时间的益处,承接前文,和后文构成转折,其中的they指代前文的algorithmic suggestions。故选C。
【18题详解】
后文“It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. (它是做出有意选择和采取有目的行动的能力)”讨论人类自主决策能力,因此B项“So, it’s time to reclaim human agency. (因此,是时候重新找回人类的自主权了)”符合语境,引出对自主决策的呼吁,统领段落,其中的human agency是后文It指代的对象。故选B。
【19题详解】
前文“That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?”(也就是说,在接受一个推荐之前,停下来问问自己:“如果完全由我自己决定,我会做出同样的选择吗?”)”给出有意停顿的具体方法,因此E项“This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions. (这种短暂反思会让你对决策有清醒认知)”符合语境,指出方法的有效性,承接前文。故选E。
【20题详解】
前文“As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. (随着AI深度融入生活,我们必须积极维护决策能力)”总结维护自主决策的必要性,因此A项“That is how we remain human. (这便是我们保持人性的方式)”符合语境,将自主决策提升至人性本质的高度,以哲学视角收束全文,强化核心论点。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何处理朋友之间的友谊问题。
【36题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:但有一天,你们的友谊陷入了困境。fall in trouble意为“陷入困境”,用一般现在时表将来,主语friendship是不可数名词,因此空格处用第三人称单数。故填falls。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意:首先,花点时间反省一下自己的行为是个好主意。固定短语reflect on“反省”,因此空格处用介词on。故填on。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:如果你意识到自己错了,不要犹豫,向你的朋友真诚地道歉。此处作宾语,应用名词apology“道歉”,空前有a,空格处用单数形式。故填apology。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:另一方面,如果你的朋友做错了,让你受苦,找个机会和他坦率地谈谈,听他的解释,让他知道你的感受。opportunity是可数名词的单数形式,表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,opportunity是元音音素开头,因此不定冠词用an。故填an。
【40题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:另一方面,如果你的朋友做错了,让你受苦,找个机会和他坦率地谈谈,听他的解释,让他知道你的感受。空格处引导的是宾语从句,句子表示“让他知道你的感受”,用how引导宾语从句,表示“怎样,如何”。故填how。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:其次,一旦你的朋友经历了损失或失败,要不遗余力地给予安慰和鼓励,告诉他你一直很钦佩他,你会在那里以任何可能的方式支持他。句中谓语是spare,空格处用非谓语动词,tell的主语是you,you和tell之间是主谓关系,因此空格处用现在分词,表主动。故填telling。
【42题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:此外,当你的朋友感到孤独和无助时,建议你经常陪伴他,即使你的日程安排非常繁忙。It is suggested that...是固定句型,意为“建议……”,其中it是形式主语,that从句是主语从句,因此空格处是suggested。故填suggested。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意:此外,当你的朋友感到孤独和无助时,建议你经常陪伴他,即使你的日程安排非常繁忙。空格处修饰形容词busy,应用副词extremely“非常”,作状语。故填extremely。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,当你发现自己被朋友欺骗时,也许是时候重新考虑你们的关系了。trick与yourself是逻辑动宾关系,空格处用过去分词,表被动,作宾语补足语。故填tricked。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:认真和他谈谈,然后决定是否要放弃这段友谊。“Talk to him seriously”和“then decide”之间是并列顺承关系,因此用并列连词and。故填and。
B

一、阅读理解(共20小题,满分50分)
A
As April 18 marks the International Day for Monuments and Sites, also known as World Heritage Day, we’ve selected four archaeological (考古的) sites in China that deserve exploration.
Zhoukoudian, Beijing
Zhoukoudian, a UNESCO heritage site located 50 km from downtown Beijing, has been a significant site. At various parts of the site, scientists have unearthed the remains of early human “Peking Man” that date back more than 500,000 years, as well as of “Shandingdong Man”, who lived 30,000 years ago.
Sanxingdui Ruins site, Sichuan province
As one of the greatest archeological finds of the 20th century, the Sanxingdui Ruins are believed to be the remains of the Shu Kingdom, dating back at least 4,800 years and lasting over 2,000 years.
The ruins are located in Guanghan city in Southwest China’s Sichuan province, covering 12 square kilometers.
The Yinxu Ruins, Henan province
The Yinxu Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Anyang city, Henan province, was an ancient capital of the Shang Dynasty (16th century BC-11th century BC).
Spreading across over 30 square kilometers, the site features the greatest number of oracle bone inscriptions (甲骨文) discovered so far in the world.
The Daming Palace, Shaanxi province
Famous for its super-large scale and magnificent buildings, Daming Palace was the main royal palace in the Tang Dynasty (618-907) where Tang emperors lived and dealt with state affairs.
Covering 3.2 square kilometers, it fully demonstrates the majestic style of grand architecture during the Tang empire.
1. Which site reflects the earliest human?
A Zhoukoudian.
B. The Yinxu Ruins.
C. The Daming Palace.
D. Sanxingdui Ruins site.
2. What is the Yinxu Ruins known for?
A. The grand architecture.
B. Oracle bone inscriptions.
C. Royal palace in the Tang Dynasty.
D. The remains of the Shu Kingdom.
3. Where can the text probably be found?

B
A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (嗑瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth, I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said.
I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed.
When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every family was making.
I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.
I don’t think it’s right to criticize (批评) one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem.
It’s not only in China. When I went abroad I found people had all sorts of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s delicious, and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition.
4 Why can the British friend not understand when he found Chinese love eating sunflower seeds?
A. Because the seeds are too hard to crack.
B. Because he thinks they are harmful to teeth.
C. Because he doesn’t think the seeds are worth eating.
D. Because he doesn’t think the seeds are good.
5. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year?
A. The families get together for it. B. Children can eat delicious food on that day.
C. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. D. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it.
6. What’s the writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread?
A. Uncaring. B. Negative. C. Understandable. D. Doubtful.
7. What idea does the writer want to express in this passage?
A. Eating habits come from a certain culture.
B. It is good to form healthy eating habits.
C. Changing your eating habits will change your life.
D. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone.
C
When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow(深奥的)novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book.
It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”.
The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favored books into a trend-driven accessory(配饰), said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman.
BookTok is seen as performative, with trendy books going viral not because of the quality of the literature but because it suggests an increasingly fashionable, intellectual- looking style. And when reading becomes a competition, with countless users showing off about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to demonstrating yourself to be an eager reader. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are feed-friendly.
But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with a boost in visits to UK libraries.
One of life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling into a story” and “tuning the world out”, without “worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”.
8. Why do some people engage in performative reading?
A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits.
C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature.
9. What risk does turning books into accessories create?
A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline.
C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get ignored.
10. What does the underlined word “uptick” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. drop B. increase C. change D. loss
11. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be ________.
A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials
C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without direct intervention
D
Is your green my green? Probably not. What appears as pure green to me is likely to look a bit yellowish or bluish to you. Moreover, an object’s color may appear differently against different backgrounds or under different lighting. It might naturally lead you to think colors are relative to observers and viewing conditions, and so nothing has a true color. But perceptual variation is misleading. We argue in the book The Metaphysics of Colors that colors are as objective as temperature.
People’s choices vary significantly when asked to pick the “unique green” from a selection of color chips. A gray object appears darker against a lighter background than a darker one, and a red apple might look green or blue under different lighting. These facts don’t negate the objectivity of colors. An apple’s redness remains unchanged even if it appears differently under certain conditions. In other words, the properties of an object are independent of how they appear to you.
To determine an object’s color, place it beside another object under the same lighting and background conditions. If no differences are detected by observers, the colors are considered the same. This ability to match colors shows their objectivity is independent of individual perception, much like the temperature of water is independent of how cold it feels to different people.
In the field of color science, scientific laws are used to explain how objects and light affect perception and the colors of other objects. Such laws, for instance, predict what happens when you mix colored paints, and when you look at colored objects in various lighting conditions. Philosophers like Hilary Putnam argue that if something is essential to science, it must be real and objective.
Colors are also meaningful in the survival and evolution of animals. Many animals use colors strategically to send warning signals or attract mates. For example, some dam selfish (雀鲷鱼)have ultraviolet patterns that can only be seen by their species, aiding recognition and mating while hiding from predators that cannot perceive ultraviolet light.
In sum, our ability to determine whether objects are colored the same or differently and the essential roles they play in science suggest that colors are as real and objective as temperature.
12. What is the misleading belief about color?
A. Everything has a true color. B. Colors are generally subjective.
C. Yellowish and bluish are puzzling. D. Colors aren’t affected by conditions.
13. What’s the author’s suggestion for determining an object’s color?
A. Detect consistent lighting and backgrounds.
B. Match colors using independent perception.
C. Exchange disagreements with other observers.
D. Make comparisons under the same conditions.
14. Why does the author mention dam selfish in paragraph 5?
A. To explain a concept. B. To illustrate a rule.
C. To introduce a theory. D. To prove an argument.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Laws of Colors. B. Green Is Green.
C. Colors and Temperature. D. Colors in Evolution.
E
When you log into social media, does an algorithm (算法) govern your feed? When shopping online, do you often focus on top-listed, AI-suggested items? If you answer “Yes”, most of the time, you go along with what the algorithm recommends. ___16___ As the name suggests, the term refers to our growing tendency to outsource decisions to systems designed to predict and control our behavior.
Now, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with accepting algorithmic suggestions. ___17___ But like water slowly carving stone, repeated reliance on AI recommendations can weaken our capacity for independent judgement and even our sense of self. Over time, such reliance not only affects the quality of our choices but also undermines our ability to trust our own judgements.
___18___ It is the capacity to make intentional choices and take purposeful action. Exercising it requires that we actively shape ourselves through thoughtful choices, rather than being passively shaped by algorithms, social norms, or external pressures.
To achieve this, practicing intentional pauses proves workable. That is, before accepting a recommendation, pause and ask, “Would I have made this choice on my own?” ___19___ For example, when you’re on YouTube, autoplay goes to another video. Instead of watching mindlessly, you pause and realize you’re not truly interested. You close the app and go for a walk instead, following your inner voice over automation.
To be human is to choose. It is to exercise the human capacity for intentional action, the ability we have been given to be the authors of our own lives. As AI becomes more integrated in our lives, we must actively preserve our decision-making capacities. ___20___
A. That is how we remain human.
B. So, it’s time to reclaim human agency.
C. In many cases they save us considerable time.
D. The aim of this question is to stay open to algorithm.
E. This short reflection brings awareness to your decisions.
F. Psychologists term this common practice “algorithmic dependence”.
G. An algorithm is a set of defined rules you follow to get a specific result.
二、完形填空(每小题1分 满分15分)
