One hot afternoon, after exploring the city, I felt really tired. I wanted to tell my French friend, Claire, “I am a little tired.” I carefully said the words I’d learned: “Je suis un pue fatigue.” But Claire burst out laughing. My face felt hot. What had I done wrong? Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad. So, instead of saying you needed a rest, it sounded like you were saying you smelled bad and were tired” This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-opener for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say. The same is true in English, for example, “ship” (a large boat) and “sheep” (a woolly animal) sound very similar, but they mean totally different things. Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning — even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes. 4. Why was the author nervous about his holiday in France? A. He was poor at French. B. He never went abroad. C. He had no friends there. D. He was in short of money. 5. What awkward moment did the author meet? A. He got a wrong person. B. He made a pronunciation mistake. C. He was tricked by the locals. D. He spelt a word incorrectly. 6. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Easy. B. Natural. C. Difficult. D. Clear. 7. How did the author’s experience in France affect him? A. He smelled bad and was tired. B. He hated learning foreign languages. C. He no longer considered Claire as a friend. D. He became open to mistakes in language learning. C Starting with the new school year, students in 17 more US states will face new cellphone rules, bringing the total to 35 out of 50 states. Among these states, some ban (禁止) phones throughout the whole school day, while others only ban them during class, allowing use between classes or at lunch. This change has come remarkably quickly, as Florida became the first state in the country to pass such a law in 2023. The number of states adopting rules or laws to limit phone use is growing with rising public support. According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in June, 74 percent of US adults said they would support banning middle and high school students from using cellphones during class, up from 68 percent last fall. However, this support didn’t come out of nowhere. Writer Gail Cornwall noted in The Atlantic magazine that having a phone nearby reduces interaction with others because notifications (通知) make people want to check their phones. Teenagers find it even harder to resist this urge because their brains are still developing. The urge (欲望) to check phones isn’t just about the brain; it’s also social. Cornwall explained that many teens feel they need to be online all the time to keep up with friends. Being slow to respond can hurt friendships, causing “digital stress”, which can lead to lack of focus and even depression. For students, the rules have added new school-day routines. “Most of them did not want to turn in their phones” at first, a student at McNair High School in Atlanta said. Now, that resentment (怨恨) is starting to fade. Teachers appreciate the ban. Surveys by Emory University showed that teachers had noticed better concentration and more positive interactions among students. However, some experts said it’s not yet clear whether the ban has long-term benefits. Meanwhile, many parents are against the ban. The US National Parental Union said that parents’ main concern is keeping their children safe during school emergencies. They believe direct communication with their children is important because schools often fail to communicate effectively. The debate continues, but school smartphone bans reflect growing concerns about youth mental health and school performance. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By introducing a policy change. B. By comparing different cases. C. By explaining the background. D. By presenting different opinions. 9. What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A. The negative effects of phone usage. B. The causes of dependence on phones. C. The social functions of mobile phones. D. The urgency of banning phone usage. 10. What do the surveys by Emory University suggest about the phone ban? A. They are being accepted by students. B. They have achieved positive outcomes. C. They are well implemented by teachers. D. They can be effective in the long run. 11. What is the main reason many parents oppose the phone ban? A. They doubt its benefits for mental health. B. They don’t believe it can solve the root problem. C. They are worried about their children’s safety. D. They think it will affect parent-child relationships. D The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance. This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Hedgehog retold this story. How does this apply to real life? Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others? Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise. A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily – making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning. When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously. The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional triggers and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick. Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships. 12. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1? A. To stress its importance. B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice. C To recommend Schopenhauer’s book. D. To introduce the theme of relationship. 13. What is Schopenhauer’s key solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”? A. Ignore pain. B. Seek therapy. C. Avoid closeness. D. Build walls. 14. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice? A Freud’s studies. B. Long life from social ties. C. Henry’s short film. D. Defense behavior of people. 15. What does Sanders say about close connection? A. People should make gradual progress in it. B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously. C. It can help children relieve childhood pain. D. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully. E Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1-2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 16. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 17. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. What encourages bacterial growth. B. How sponges are exactly structured. C. How bacteria grow independently. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 18. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Poorly adaptive. B. Relatively harmless. C. Partly distributed. D. Surprisingly unpleasant. 19. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Evidence of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to help bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and your family that have an opinion on everything you do?

I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good. One hot afternoon, after exploring the city, I felt really tired. I wanted to tell my French friend, Claire, “I am a little tired.” I carefully said the words I’d learned: “Je suis un pue fatigue.” But Claire burst out laughing. My face felt hot. What had I done wrong? Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad. So, instead of saying you needed a rest, it sounded like you were saying you smelled bad and were tired” This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-opener for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say. The same is true in English, for example, “ship” (a large boat) and “sheep” (a woolly animal) sound very similar, but they mean totally different things. Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning — even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes. 4. Why was the author nervous about his holiday in France? A. He was poor at French. B. He never went abroad. C. He had no friends there. D. He was in short of money. 5. What awkward moment did the author meet? A. He got a wrong person. B. He made a pronunciation mistake. C. He was tricked by the locals. D. He spelt a word incorrectly. 6. What does the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Easy. B. Natural. C. Difficult. D. Clear. 7. How did the author’s experience in France affect him? A. He smelled bad and was tired. B. He hated learning foreign languages. C. He no longer considered Claire as a friend. D. He became open to mistakes in language learning. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在法国度假时，因法语发音错误而引发的尴尬经历及从中获得的启示。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I was so excited but also a little nervous because my French was not good.(我很兴奋，但也有点紧张，因为我的法语不好。)”可知，作者因为法语不好而感到紧张。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Claire explained, “In French, there are words that sound similar but have very different meanings. ‘peu’ means ‘a little,’ but if you pronounce it differently, it can sound like ‘pue’, which means ‘stinks’ — like something smells bad.(Claire解释说：“在法语中，有些词发音相似，但意思却大不相同。‘peu’的意思是‘一点点’，但如果你发音不同，听起来就像‘pue’，意思是‘发臭’——就像什么东西闻起来很臭。)”可知，作者遇到的尴尬时刻是发音错误。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“This awkward (尴尬的) moment was a real eye-open er for me. It made me realize just how daunting pronunciation can be in a foreign language. Even small differences in pronunciation can completely change the meaning of what you’re trying to say.(这个尴尬的时刻让我大开眼界。它让我意识到在外语中发音是多么daunting。即使发音上的微小差异也会完全改变你想说的意思。)”可知，发音可能是困难的。因此，daunting最可能的意思是“困难的”。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Now, I pay extra attention to how words sound and what they mean. And if I mix them up again? I’ll just laugh along. After all, laughing is part of learning — even if it’s a bit stinky sometimes.(现在，我特别注意单词的发音和意思。如果我再把它们混在一起呢？我会一起笑的。毕竟，笑是学习的一部分——即使有时有点臭。)”可知，作者在法国的经历使他变得对语言学习中的错误持开放态度。故选D。 C Starting with the new school year, students in 17 more US states will face new cellphone rules, bringing the total to 35 out of 50 states. Among these states, some ban (禁止) phones throughout the whole school day, while others only ban them during class, allowing use between classes or at lunch. This change has come remarkably quickly, as Florida became the first state in the country to pass such a law in 2023. The number of states adopting rules or laws to limit phone use is growing with rising public support. According to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in June, 74 percent of US adults said they would support banning middle and high school students from using cellphones during class, up from 68 percent last fall. However, this support didn’t come out of nowhere. Writer Gail Cornwall noted in The Atlantic magazine that having a phone nearby reduces interaction with others because notifications (通知) make people want to check their phones. Teenagers find it even harder to resist this urge because their brains are still developing. The urge (欲望) to check phones isn’t just about the brain; it’s also social. Cornwall explained that many teens feel they need to be online all the time to keep up with friends. Being slow to respond can hurt friendships, causing “digital stress”, which can lead to lack of focus and even depression. For students, the rules have added new school-day routines. “Most of them did not want to turn in their phones” at first, a student at McNair High School in Atlanta said. Now, that resentment (怨恨) is starting to fade. Teachers appreciate the ban. Surveys by Emory University showed that teachers had noticed better concentration and more positive interactions among students. However, some experts said it’s not yet clear whether the ban has long-term benefits. Meanwhile, many parents are against the ban. The US National Parental Union said that parents’ main concern is keeping their children safe during school emergencies. They believe direct communication with their children is important because schools often fail to communicate effectively. The debate continues, but school smartphone bans reflect growing concerns about youth mental health and school performance. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By introducing a policy change. B. By comparing different cases. C. By explaining the background. D. By presenting different opinions. 9. What are paragraphs 3 and 4 mainly about? A. The negative effects of phone usage. B. The causes of dependence on phones. C. The social functions of mobile phones. D. The urgency of banning phone usage. 10. What do the surveys by Emory University suggest about the phone ban? A. They are being accepted by students. B. They have achieved positive outcomes. C. They are well implemented by teachers. D. They can be effective in the long run. 11. What is the main reason many parents oppose the phone ban? A. They doubt its benefits for mental health. B. They don’t believe it can solve the root problem. C. They are worried about their children’s safety. D. They think it will affect parent-child relationships. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国校园手机禁令的快速推广，包括实施原因、短期效果以及家长因安全隐患提出的反对意见。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Starting with the new school year, students in 17 more US states will face new cellphone rules, bringing the total to 35 out of 50 states. (随着新学年开始，美国又有17个州的学生将面临新的手机使用规定，使总数达到50个州中的35个。)”可知，作者以关于美国学校扩大手机限制的事实陈述开始，通过介绍一项政策变化引入主题。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Writer Gail Cornwall noted in The Atlantic magazine that having a phone nearby reduces interaction with others because notifications (通知) make people want to check their phones. Teenagers find it even harder to resist this urge because their brains are still developing. (作家Gail Cornwall在《大西洋月刊》上指出，把手机放在附近会减少与他人的互动，因为通知会让人们想查看手机。青少年更难抗拒这种冲动，因为他们的大脑还在发育。)”和第四段“The urge (欲望) to check phones isn’t just about the brain; it’s also social. Cornwall explained that many teens feel they need to be online all the time to keep up with friends. Being slow to respond can hurt friendships, causing “digital stress”, which can lead to lack of focus and even depression. (查看手机的冲动不仅仅与大脑有关；它还具有社交性。Cornwall解释说，许多青少年觉得他们需要一直上网，以便与朋友保持联系。回复慢会伤害友谊，造成“数字压力”，导致注意力不集中甚至抑郁。)”可知，这两段主要从大脑发育和社交压力两个方面讨论了青少年依赖手机的原因。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Surveys by Emory University showed that teachers had noticed better concentration and more positive interactions among students. (埃默里大学的调查显示，教师注意到学生之间的注意力更集中，互动也更积极。)”可知，埃默里大学的调查表明，手机禁令已取得积极效果。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“The US National Parental Union said that parents’ main concern is keeping their children safe during school emergencies. They believe direct communication with their children is important because schools often fail to communicate effectively. (美国全国家长联盟表示，家长们最关心的是在学校发生紧急情况时保证孩子的安全。他们认为与孩子的直接沟通很重要，因为学校经常不能有效地沟通。)”可知，许多家长反对手机禁令的主要原因是担心孩子的安全。故选C项。 D The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance. This sad story became widely discussed. Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea. In 2015, an award-winning short film called Hedgehog retold this story. How does this apply to real life? Most people remember being hurt by close relationships – broken friendships, family conflicts, or romantic betrayals. Since these connections matter deeply, their damage hurts more. Should we stop trusting others? Schopenhauer said yes, but science would say otherwise. A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily – making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning. When hurt repeatedly, people often fall into defense mode. Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains common defense behaviors: going silent during arguments, seeing normal comments as criticism, or overreacting to small issues. These reactions often start in childhood. If parents often criticized or classmates bullied someone, they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily. While these helped survive childhood pain, they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously. The good news is people can change. Through therapy, many learn to recognize their defense patterns and understand their origins. Couples can improve relationships by learning each other’s emotional triggers and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing. However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick. Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness, the hedgehog story actually shows our deep need for connection. Unlike real hedgehogs, humans aren’t born with physical spines. By carefully lowering our defenses around trustworthy people, we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships. 12. Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1? A. To stress its importance. B. To support Schopenhauer’s advice. C. To recommend Schopenhauer’s book. D. To introduce the theme of relationship. 13. What is Schopenhauer’s key solution to the “hedgehog dilemma”? A. Ignore pain. B. Seek therapy. C Avoid closeness. D. Build walls. 14. What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer’s advice? A. Freud’s studies. B. Long life from social ties. C. Henry’s short film. D. Defense behavior of people. 15. What does Sanders say about close connection? A. People should make gradual progress in it. B. Humans can benefit from it unconsciously. C. It can help children relieve childhood pain. D. Couples should learn to defend it thoughtfully. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章围绕德国哲学家叔本华提出的“刺猬困境” 展开，探讨了人际关系中的距离与亲密问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The “hedgehog (刺猬) dilemma” is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. In his 1851 book, he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs. His advice was simple: keep your distance.( “刺猬困境”是德国哲学家叔本华的一个著名比喻。在他1851年出版的书中，他通过一个关于刺猬的故事描述了人类如何在人际关系中挣扎。他的建议很简单：保持距离。)”可知，文章第一段提到“刺猬困境”这一著名隐喻，接着阐述其在现实生活人际关系中的体现，如亲密关系中的伤害等 。所以作者提及“刺猬困境” 是为了引出关于人际关系这一主题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“His advice was simple: keep your distance.( 他的建议很简单：保持距离。)”可知，叔本华对于“刺猬困境”的核心解决办法是保持距离，也就是避免亲密（Avoid closeness）。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong social connections live 50% longer. The National Institute on Aging warns that loneliness harms health as much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily – making Schopenhauer’s advice concerning.(《公共科学图书馆·医学》杂志上的一项研究回顾了148项涉及30多万人的研究，发现那些社交关系强的人寿命要长50%。美国国家老龄化研究所警告说，孤独对健康的危害与每天吸15支烟一样大——这使得叔本华的建议令人担忧。)”可知，社交关系带来的长寿这一主要证据，与叔本华的建议相悖。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“However, Sanders warns that defenses shouldn’t be removed suddenly — it’s like taking down a wall brick by brick.( 然而，桑德斯警告说，防御不应该突然拆除，就像一砖一瓦地拆墙一样。)”可知，桑德斯认为人们在建立亲密关系时，不应突然去除防御，要像一砖一瓦拆除墙一样循序渐进。故选A项。 E Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list. Yes, it turns out that the very tool we use to clean our plates, which is warm, damp, and full of nutritious food pieces, is packed of tiny life. Lingchong You, a biologist at Duke University, along with his team, used computers to model the complex environment of a sponge for a 2022 study. He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth. This holds significance as certain bacteria tend to grow independently while others demand the companionship of others. Within a sponge filled with holes and pockets, there exist such an abundance of diverse structures that everyone attains a state of satisfaction. Nevertheless, it does not necessarily follow that these tools present a health risk to us as well. Bacteria exist everywhere and not all are harmful; in fact, many perform vital jobs. The important question is, therefore, are the bacteria found in sponges even worth worrying about? In 2017, Jennifer Quinlan, a professor of food safety, and her colleagues, collected kitchen sponges from 100 homes, finding that only 1-2% of those sponges contained bacteria linked to food poisoning in humans and the ones that did contained only small amounts of harmful bacteria. “The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan. This is not the whole story yet. If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case. 16. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Sponges are perfect tools in the kitchen. B. Bacteria prefer to live in dry environment. C. Kitchen sponges are good home for bacteria. D. Bacteria affect kitchen sponges’ performance. 17. What did Lingchong You find in his study? A. What encourages bacterial growth. B. How sponges are exactly structured. C. How bacteria grow independently. D. Why bacteria keep company with each other. 18. What does Quinlan think of bacteria on sponges? A. Poorly adaptive. B. Relatively harmless. C. Partly distributed. D. Surprisingly unpleasant. 19. What will be probably discussed in the following paragraph? A. Evidence of bacterial threat. B. The classification of bacteria. C. Methods to help bacterial growth. D. Research into applications of bacteria. 【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了细菌在厨房海绵中的生存情况，包括细菌的生长环境、种类、对人类的潜在影响以及海绵的特殊结构如何成为细菌生长的理想场所。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Bacteria know how to rough it out all over the earth. Ask most of them where they’d prefer to settle though, and a kitchen sponge (海绵) would probably top the list.(细菌知道如何在地球上顽强生存。不过，问它们最希望定居在何处的话，厨房用的海绵可能会高居榜首。)”可知，厨房用的海绵是细菌的好家园。故选C。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He found that sponges featuring pockets of varying sizes are something that really matters for promoting bacterial growth.(他发现，海绵上那些大小各异的孔隙对于促进细菌生长至关重要。)”可知，Lingchong You发现了是什么能促进细菌的生长。故选A。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““The vast majority of bacteria on sponges do not cause illness, and they’re just going to make them smell.” says Quinlan.(Quinlan说：“海绵上的绝大多数细菌并不会使人患病，它们只会让海绵散发出异味。”)”可知，Quinlan认为海绵上的细菌相对无害。故选B。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If dangerous bacteria happen to arrive on the scene, the sponge’s special make-up makes it an ideal place for them to grow and multiply. And there’s evidence this is the case.(如果有害细菌真的出现在现场，这种海绵特殊的结构特性就会使其成为细菌滋生和繁殖的理想场所。而且有证据表明情况确实如此。)”可知，由于最后一段提到有证据表明有害细菌会在海绵上生长繁殖，所以接下来很可能会讨论细菌威胁的证据具体是什么。故选A。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How do you stay true to yourself when you’re surrounded by friends and your family that have an opinion on everything you do?
