As a doctoral candidate at the University of Chicago in Illinois, I worked to design safer, more effective materials for vaccine delivery. Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals. Something had to change. As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my quiet time at the lab bench — for instance, when I was running columns or experiments — was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could cover up this inefficiency with longer hours, my work felt chaotic and disorganized. I would come home from a long day in the lab and respond to e-mails or messages over dinner or in bed. This all came to a head last summer, when my inability to balance work and life ed me to seek help from the university’s student mental health services. Through a combination of consultation (咨询) and personal reflection, I came to understand my problem. To regain my focus, I chose to reduce my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it. Underestimating the addictive nature of smartphones, I experienced symptoms of withdrawal when I first did this. With time, however, I began to make practical use of my quiet time. I started reading papers during long experiments, and developed a habit of writing in my down time. Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety decrease and my productivity and creativity improve dramatically, trading my chaotic work-life relationship for one with clearer boundaries and plenty of new scientific ideas. Now, even when I do carry my smartphone, I feel less forced to check e-mails or messages, and can concentrate more closely on whatever task is at hand. 4. What main problem did the author face in early 2021? A. Working long hours alone. B. Getting stuck in his studies. C. Losing interest in research. D. Feeling anxious about messages. 5. What made the author struggle? A. His addiction to the phone. B. Running columns or experiments. C. Messy and disorganized schedule. D. His inability to get mental-health services. 6. What did the author do after he realized the problem? A. He wisely spent his spare time. B. He merely used a basic mobile phone. C. He frequently reflected on past mistakes. D. He never checked e-mail s or messages. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Challenges in the Lab B. Disconnect to Reconnect C The Struggles of a Student D. How Phones Affect Research C A recent survey found children would rather be online influencers (网红) than astronauts. It made headlines and led to plenty of complaints about “kids these days” is influencing a promising career path? The lifestyles we see advertised on social media are enticing, but under the shining appearance lie uncertain income, pay inequality, disability and mental health issues. Successful influencers will be the first to claim that anyone can make it in the industry. However, social media economy experts uncovered a huge income gap between successful influencers and everyone else. For most people trying to become an influencer, their passion projects of content creation often become free work for brands. Most influencers are self-employed, often experiencing inconsistent income and a lack of protection that comes with long-term employment. The risks of self-employment are increased in the influencer industry by absence of industry standards and little pay transparency (透明度) . Influencers are often forced to assess their own value and determine fees for their work. As a result, content creators often undervalue their own creative labour, and many end up working for free. Influencers are also often at the mercy of algorithms — the behind-the-scenes computer programs that determine which posts are shown, in which order, to users. Platforms share little detail about their algorithms, yet they finally determine who and what gains visibility and influence on social media. The threat of invisibility is a constant source of insecurity for influencers, who are under constant pressure to feed platforms with content. If they don’t, they may be “punished” by the algorithm — having posts hidden or displayed lower down on search results. Constant online presence leads to one of the most common issues in the influencer industry: mental health concerns. Influencers can connect to their platform workspaces and audience at any time of day or night, which can lead to them overworking. Coupled with the fear of online criticism, it contributes to mental and physical health issues. Although becoming an influencer may look attractive to more and more people, the industry’s dark underside needs to be made visible and improved through enhanced employment regulation and industry-led cultural change. 8. Which of the following words can replace “enticing” in paragraph 1? A. Imaginative B. Similar. C. appealing. D. Fashionable. 9. What’s one of the reasons for influencers’ undervaluing their creative work? A. Invisibility of payment. B. Instability of income. C. Pressure of assessment. D. Risks of self-employment. 10. What may cause the influencers’ stress according to paragraph 4? A. Having to work out the order of posts to be displayed. B Being punished by platform staff for personal reasons. C. Being threatened to create new content without being paid. D. Having little control and knowledge of the platform algorithms. 11. Why does the author write this text? A. To stress the importance of visibility in the online world. B. To reveal relationships between platforms and influencers. C. To explain the reasons behind children’s career preferences. D. To show the dark side of working as an online content creator. D Picture a robot. What do you see? A metal machine built to last forever? Unfortunately, this very quality now threatens to drown the planet in extremely durable (持久的) e-waste. What if, instead, those machines were designed to break down and disappear — like life does? In a new study, researchers crafted a robotic arm, and a controller to operate it, from pork gelatin and plant cellulose — materials strong enough to function yet delicate enough to degrade (降解) in the soil. After testing, both structures broke down in soil within weeks. Biodegradable robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics. The field originated from materials science and chemistry rather than conventional robots that come from mechanical engineering. But a lot of early soft robots still relied on chemical materials that continue to exist as pollution. Pingdong Wei, a materials scientist at Westlake University in Hangzhou, teamed up with his friend Zhuang Zhang, a robotics engineer now at Fudan University in Shanghai, to assemble (组装) robots for the study. They started with cellulose layers from cotton, then added glycerol for flexibility and dried the layers for strength. “Cellulose is also cheap and easy to assemble,” Wei says. To build sensors, the researchers used a conductive gelatin from pork. They then folded the layers and sensors into 3D structures. Wei and Zhang found the controller and robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity. Finally, they buried them both in a 20-centimeter-deep hole near their campus. Within eight weeks the machines were almost entirely gone. Wei and Zhang envision robots that can handle dangerous waste and then disappear. They also propose robots that aid surgeries and then safely break down inside the body. But it’s important to note that the technology is in very early stages. “If we truly want to have a sustainable robot that goes outside in nature,” a materials scientist Florian Hartmann says, “we also need to think of electronics or power supplies, or even batteries, that are biodegradable.” 12. What do we know about early soft robots? A. They are made of natural materials. B. They are too delicate for heavy use. C. They will produce e-waste pollution. D. They come from mechanical engineering. 13. Why did Wei and Zhang bury the controller and robotic arm? A. To see if they can work in soil B. To check if they can stay inactive. C. To test if they can break down. D. To assess if they can handle waste. 14. Which of the following best describes the robots in the new study? A. Safe to operate. B. Easy to degrade. C. Costly to produce. D. Complex to assemble. 15. What does Hartmann mainly talk about in the last paragraph? A. The necessity for sustainable robots. B. The potential applications of soft robots. C. The possibility of improving power supplies. D. The suggestions for future soft robot research. 第二节(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。 Bedtime rituals (仪式) At the end of a long day, you might want to collapse in front of the TV and watch an episode of your favorite shown but engaging in a regular bedtime ritual could actually help you sleep better. ____16____ And if you turn these bedtime activities into a ritual — that is, if you do them every night around the same time — you will be all the more likely to get the rest you need.

As a doctoral candidate at the University of Chicago in Illinois, I worked to design safer, more effective materials for vaccine delivery. Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals. Something had to change. As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my quiet time at the lab bench — for instance, when I was running columns or experiments — was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could cover up this inefficiency with longer hours, my work felt chaotic and disorganized. I would come home from a long day in the lab and respond to e-mails or messages over dinner or in bed. This all came to a head last summer, when my inability to balance work and life ed me to seek help from the university’s student mental health services. Through a combination of consultation (咨询) and personal reflection, I came to understand my problem. To regain my focus, I chose to reduce my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it. Underestimating the addictive nature of smartphones, I experienced symptoms of withdrawal when I first did this. With time, however, I began to make practical use of my quiet time. I started reading papers during long experiments, and developed a habit of writing in my down time. Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety decrease and my productivity and creativity improve dramatically, trading my chaotic work-life relationship for one with clearer boundaries and plenty of new scientific ideas. Now, even when I do carry my smartphone, I feel less forced to check e-mails or messages, and can concentrate more closely on whatever task is at hand. 4.

It made headlines and led to plenty of complaints about “kids these days” is influencing a promising career path? The lifestyles we see advertised on social media are enticing, but under the shining appearance lie uncertain income, pay inequality, disability and mental health issues. Successful influencers will be the first to claim that anyone can make it in the industry. However, social media economy experts uncovered a huge income gap between successful influencers and everyone else. For most people trying to become an influencer, their passion projects of content creation often become free work for brands. Most influencers are self-employed, often experiencing inconsistent income and a lack of protection that comes with long-term employment. The risks of self-employment are increased in the influencer industry by absence of industry standards and little pay transparency (透明度) . Influencers are often forced to assess their own value and determine fees for their work. As a result, content creators often undervalue their own creative labour, and many end up working for free. Influencers are also often at the mercy of algorithms — the behind-the-scenes computer programs that determine which posts are shown, in which order, to users. Platforms share little detail about their algorithms, yet they finally determine who and what gains visibility and influence on social media. The threat of invisibility is a constant source of insecurity for influencers, who are under constant pressure to feed platforms with content. If they don’t, they may be “punished” by the algorithm — having posts hidden or displayed lower down on search results. Constant online presence leads to one of the most common issues in the influencer industry: mental health concerns. Influencers can connect to their platform workspaces and audience at any time of day or night, which can lead to them overworking. Coupled with the fear of online criticism, it contributes to mental and physical health issues. Although becoming an influencer may look attractive to more and more people, the industry’s dark underside needs to be made visible and improved through enhanced employment regulation and industry-led cultural change. 8. Which of the following words can replace “enticing” in paragraph 1? A. Imaginative B. Similar. C. appealing. D. Fashionable. 9. What’s one of the reasons for influencers’ undervaluing their creative work? A. Invisibility of payment. B. Instability of income. C. Pressure of assessment. D. Risks of self-employment. 10. What may cause the influencers’ stress according to paragraph 4? A. Having to work out the order of posts to be displayed. B. Being punished by platform staff for personal reasons. C. Being threatened to create new content without being paid. D. Having little control and knowledge of the platform algorithms. 11. Why does the author write this text? A. To stress the importance of visibility in the online world. B. To reveal relationships between platforms and influencers. C. To explain the reasons behind children’s career preferences. D. To show the dark side of working as an online content creator. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了网红职业虽表面光鲜，却存在收入不均、算法制约、心理健康等诸多行业隐忧的现状。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“The lifestyles we see advertised on social media are enticing, but under the shining appearance lie uncertain income, pay inequality, disability and mental health issues.(我们在社交媒体上看到的被大肆宣传的网红生活方式很enticing，但在光鲜的外表之下却潜藏着收入不稳定、薪酬不平等、易出现伤残以及心理健康等问题)”的转折逻辑可知，enticing应与“光鲜、有吸引力”含义相近，和appealing（有吸引力的）词义相符。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The risks of self-employment are increased in the influencer industry by absence of industry standards and little pay transparency(透明度).(在网红行业中，行业标准的缺失以及薪资透明度的低下加剧了自主就业的风险)”以及“As a result, content creators often undervalue their own creative labour, and many end up working for free.(因此，内容创作者常常会低估自己的创意劳动价值，而且很多人最终会落得免费工作的下场)”可知，薪资透明度低是创作者低估自身劳动价值的原因之一。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Platforms share little detail about their algorithms, yet they finally determine who and what gains visibility and influence on social media.(平台几乎不会分享其算法的细节，但这些算法最终却决定了谁以及哪些内容能在社交媒体上获得曝光度和影响力)”以及“The threat of invisibility is a constant source of insecurity for influencers, who are under constant pressure to feed platforms with content.(曝光度缺失的威胁是网红持续不安的根源，他们还承受着要持续为平台提供内容的压力)”可知，对平台算法缺乏了解和掌控是网红产生压力的原因。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容以及最后一段中“Although becoming an influencer may look attractive to more and more people, the industry’s dark underside needs to be made visible and improved through enhanced employment regulation and industry-led cultural change.(尽管成为网红对越来越多的人来说看似很有吸引力，但该行业的阴暗面需要被公之于众，并且要通过加强就业监管以及行业主导的文化变革来改善这一现状)”可知，作者的写作目的是揭露网红这一职业背后的行业弊端。故选D。 D Picture a robot. What do you see? A metal machine built to last forever? Unfortunately, this very quality now threatens to drown the planet in extremely durable (持久的) e-waste. What if, instead, those machines were designed to break down and disappear — like life does? In a new study, researchers crafted a robotic arm, and a controller to operate it, from pork gelatin and plant cellulose — materials strong enough to function yet delicate enough to degrade (降解) in the soil. After testing, both structures broke down in soil within weeks. Biodegradable robotics often falls under the umbrella of soft robotics. The field originated from materials science and chemistry rather than conventional robots that come from mechanical engineering. But a lot of early soft robots still relied on chemical materials that continue to exist as pollution. Pingdong Wei, a materials scientist at Westlake University in Hangzhou, teamed up with his friend Zhuang Zhang, a robotics engineer now at Fudan University in Shanghai, to assemble (组装) robots for the study. They started with cellulose layers from cotton, then added glycerol for flexibility and dried the layers for strength. “Cellulose is also cheap and easy to assemble,” Wei says. To build sensors, the researchers used a conductive gelatin from pork. They then folded the layers and sensors into 3D structures. Wei and Zhang found the controller and robotic arm stood up to both heavy use and a week of inactivity. Finally, they buried them both in a 20-centimeter-deep hole near their campus. Within eight weeks the machines were almost entirely gone. Wei and Zhang envision robots that can handle dangerous waste and then disappear. They also propose robots that aid surgeries and then safely break down inside the body. But it’s important to note that the technology is in very early stages. “If we truly want to have a sustainable robot that goes outside in nature,” a materials scientist Florian Hartmann says, “we also need to think of electronics or power supplies, or even batteries, that are biodegradable.” 12. What do we know about early soft robots? A. They are made of natural materials. B. They are too delicate for heavy use. C. They will produce e-waste pollution. D. They come from mechanical engineering. 13. Why did Wei and Zhang bury the controller and robotic arm? A. To see if they can work in soil B. To check if they can stay inactive. C. To test if they can break down. D. To assess if they can handle waste. 14. Which of the following best describes the robots in the new study? A. Safe to operate. B. Easy to degrade. C. Costly to produce. D. Complex to assemble. 15. What does Hartmann mainly talk about in the last paragraph? A. The necessity for sustainable robots. B. The potential applications of soft robots. C. The possibility of improving power supplies. D. The suggestions for future soft robot research. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15.
