【原文】W: Good morning listeners. Welcome to Creative Voices, I’m Chloe. Today we’re joined by Jeremy Lee, whose new photo exhibition has drawn wide praise and recognition. Jeremy, you’ve long been known as a writer. Why turn to photography now?
M: Hi Chloe, writing will always be part of me, but I started feeling that words sometimes stand between the viewer and the moment. With a camera, I can let people see life directly. Last winter, I spent weeks walking among city streets and buildings at dawn, seeing bakers baking, teachers teaching students. These aren’t dramatic scenes or famous cultural events, but they’re full of humanity.
W: Did you ask people to pose for you?
M: Rarely, most shots were unplanned. I believe true stories happen when people aren’t performing. For example, my favorite photo is of a street musician who didn’t notice the camera while playing his violin in the rain.
W: What do you hope viewers take away?
M: That common individuals matter. Many told me they saw their parents or neighbors in the photos. That’s the power of photography. It invites you to feel first, then understand.

18. What was Spencer Silver trying to make?
A. A strong glue. B. A thick tape. C. A sticky note.
19. Why did Arthur Fry use the weak sticky material?
A. To stick documents to his desk.
B. To fix loose pages in his notebook.
C. To keep notes without damaging pages.
20. What helped the Post-it Note become popular?
A. Free samples. B. Popular advertisements. C. Low prices.
【答案】18. A 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】W: The Post-it note, a widely used office product, has an interesting origin in 1968. 3M scientist Spencer Silver aimed to create a super strong sticky material that could attach firmly to any surface.
However, the result was surprisingly weak. It could stick to objects but peel off easily without leaving marks, and Silver put the unused invention aside. Six years later, a fellow 3M employee, Arthur Fry, struggled with paper notes falling out of his books.
He recalled Silver’s weak, sticky liquid, coated small paper pieces with it and found it worked perfectly, no damage to pages.
The pair teamed up and 3M named the product Post-It note through an internal contest. Officially launched in 1977, initial sales were slow as people saw no need for it. 3M then distributed free samples to US office workers and demand skyrocketed. Today, sold in over 100 countries, it proves failed experiments and daily problems can lead to life changing inventions.

B
I first encountered the classics at 19, when I studied English literature at university. But a lack of life experience, combined with exams, essay deadlines and an obsession with good grades, left me little time to truly sink in. Middlemarch, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary: I loved these books, yet I never got the chance to deeply engage with them.
Some 40 years later, as an editor, it’s now my job to figure out what makes a book tick or more often, what it needs to make it tick. So, when a colleague suggested we deconstruct classics to find their “secret to lasting appeal,” I was intrigued. I decided to reread Middlemarch, which I had loved before but never fully grasped. I did hesitate a bit, though: could I, with my attention constantly distracted by technology, handle its 900 pages of tiny print?
Not wanting to hold back entirely, I tried the audiobook instead. The audio’s vivid delivery certainly drew me in, but what truly took me aback was the new understanding that came with age. Themes that felt distant at 19 came into sharp focus at 60: ideas of marriage, ambition, and unmet expectations that had flown over my younger head now echoed (回响) deeply within me. I also noticed striking parallels in other classic characters: Emma’s desire for an “ideal life” in Madame Bovary mirrors the social comparison we see on social media today, and the obsession with youth in The Picture of Dorian Gray reflects our selfie-obsessed culture.
Then came the real work: taking them apart to see why they’re classics. Some were easy to analyse, others tricky, but we gave them the attention they deserved — more than I ever could at 19. What struck me most was that classics endure not for their age, but for capturing universal human truths; desires, fears, and hopes that never fade. Rereading them isn’t just about revisiting old tales; it reconnects us to our unchanging human nature, enriches our understanding of time, and grows with us as we do.
24. What is implied about the first encounter with classics?
A. It was mainly for academic success.
B. It enriched the author’s experience.
C. It proved too difficult for the author.
D. It failed to obtain full appreciation.
25. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Hesitant. B. Interested. C. Refreshed. D. Overwhelmed.
26. Why does the author mention Emma and Dorian Gray?
A. To show classics’ modern relevance.
B. To criticize current social problems.
C. To present impressive analytical skills.
D. To highlight their enduring popularity.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Busy Youth, Fading Truth
B. Modern Whisper of Audiobooks
C. Changing Trend, Unchanging Insight
D. Time’s Echo of Literary Classics
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】

C
Between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, a 55-mile Comrades Marathon is unfolding with nine medals, each tied to a strict time limit. Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year.
This scene stands as the most authentic reflection of the “paradox (悖论) of effort”. First coined by University of Toronto psychologist Michael Inzlicht, the concept refers to a seemingly contradictory human tendency that we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in.
Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward. When we invest heavily in something without getting equal returns, we tend to convince ourselves that “the result is worth it.” Over time, like Pavlov’s dogs responding to a bell, we gradually relate effort to positive outcomes.
A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in 2025 further uncovered the mystery of the paradox of effort. When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. Behind this hides a general principle of timing: future effort takes the shine off the appeal, but past effort gives a brilliance to perceived value.
The shift in value perception, however, relies on a critical balance between “within reach” and “out of sight”. While people like something more as it gets more challenging, this appeal fades when it becomes overly difficult. That’s why the marathon has different medals: everyone needs a goal that feels possible with a little extra effort.
The paradox of effort never encourages blind suffering; instead, true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges”. Neither should you shy away from toil and trouble, nor should you chase hardship for hardship’s sake. Just as Inzlicht said, “It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness.”
28. What does the Comrades Marathon suggest?
A. Failure can be a source of pride.
B. Strict rules boost participants’ passion.
C. Difficulty can be a motivator.
D. Physical endurance ensures final success.
29. Which of the following best reflects the factors behind the “paradox of effort”?
A. A chef uses pre-made meals for instant profits.
B. A researcher abandons project despite potential gains.
C. A shopper values self-crafted items over finished ones.
D. A student jumps to quick conclusions without thinking.
30. What does the 2025 study show about the “paradox of effort”?
A. Future task elevates financial appeal.
B. Stair-climbing devalues invested effort.
C. Past effort reduces mug’s value.
D. Effort shifts perception of its value.
31. What does Inzlicht advise about effort?
A. Seek maximum difficulty. B. Bear unnecessary hardship.
C. Embrace attainable challenge. D. Pursue effortless happiness.
【答案】28. C 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要阐释“努力悖论”的概念、成因及相关研究,点明适度挑战才能带来持久价值。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year. (数以百计的跑步者即便拼尽全力仍未达标,却依旧兴奋、自豪,渴望来年再战)”以及第二段中对“努力悖论”的定义“we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in (我们追求事物往往不是为了安逸,而是恰恰因其难度而被吸引)”可知,马拉松的例子表明困难可以成为一种驱动力。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward.(因兹利希及其研究团队将这种坚持不懈的精神归因于两大主要因素:其一,因付出了努力,回报会被赋予更高的价值;其二,努力本身就是一种回报)”可知,“努力悖论”的两个核心因素:一是付出的努力会让回报更有价值;二是努力本身就是一种回报。选项C“购物者更看重手工制作的物品而非成品”,体现了因为投入了劳动(努力),所以物品的价值在购物者心中被提升,符合“努力悖论”的内涵。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. (在展望未来时,参与者更看重现金,而非需要爬楼梯才能获得的马克杯;但在完成爬楼梯任务后,由于投入了努力,他们提升了马克杯的价值)”可知,2025年的研究表明努力会改变人们对事物价值的认知。故选D项。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges” (真正的价值往往源于那些“适度的挑战”)”以及Inzlicht所说“It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness (在合理范围内的拼搏,才能充实人生、带来持久的幸福感)”可知,因兹利希建议人们拥抱可实现的挑战。故选C项。
D
Sunscreen is a literal lifesaver for humans, protecting us from dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays (紫外线) and skin cancer. However, the same cannot be said for its effects on marine life. Every year, thousands of tons of commercial sunscreens wash off swimmers and wind up in the planet’s oceans. Studies indicate that the chemicals from commercial sunscreens can cause pollution and lead to coral bleaching, threatening marine habitat.
Drawing inspiration from nature, material scientists at Nanyang Technological University have developed the world’s first pollen-based sunscreen to address this critical issue. Pollen (花粉) grains have evolved strong outer layers that safeguard their internal components against unfavorable environmental conditions, including intense UV rays. Crucially, this natural protective characteristic remains effective during extraction, positioning pollen as a safer, eco-conscious sunscreen alternative.
Unlike commercial sunscreens that rely on harmful chemicals, the pollen-based sunscreen adopts a gentle, eco-friendly production process, using pollen’s naturally tough shell to form a lightweight natural microgel (微凝胶) that acts as a UV barrier. Laboratory tests confirm it achieves a sun protection factor (SPF) of about 30, blocking approximately 97% of UV rays. This matches the protection level of commercial alternatives, while being far gentler for sensitive skin.
Beyond its eco-friendliness, the pollen sunscreen offers cooling benefits even during peak UV hours (10 a.m. — 4 p.m.). In tests, skin treated with the pollen sunscreen stayed up to 5℃ cooler for as long as 20 minutes under intense UV radiation of 3200 μW/cm2, a level typical of midday summer sunlight. This cooling effect stems from pollen’s natural trait of absorbing less heat, which addresses the overheating discomfort common with regular sunscreens.
Despite its advantages and UV protection meeting commercial standards, the product remains unavailable to consumers. As Cho Nam-Joon, the study’s leading author, emphasized, “Official approvals and additional tests on its sustained reliability under various storage conditions are necessary before market launch.” This required process delays its arrival on store shelves, even as the pollen-based sunscreen shows great potential for reducing chemical pollution and protecting both human health and marine life.
32. What is the problem with commercial sunscreen?
A. The risk of skin cancer. B. The inefficiency of UV protection.
C. The difficulty in washing off. D. The threat to marine ecosystems.
33. What distinguishes the pollen-based sunscreen?
A. Its high SPF value. B. Its natural ingredients.
C. Its marine-based components. D. Its skin-repair ability.
34. How does the author explain the cooling effect of the pollen sunscreen?
A. By providing statistics. B. By designing a test.
C. By making comparisons. D. By describing a process.
35. What is the focus of the last paragraph regarding the pollen sunscreen?
A. Procedures of its official approval. B. Outlook for its market performance.
C. Factors for its delayed launch. D. Significance of its reliability tests.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C

Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. ____36____ Therefore, some people have turned to parking their cars on the pavement (人行道).
____37____ It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. Is it ever OK to park on a pavement?
Some think people need cars and they have to park somewhere. It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. ____38____ For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds.
Others argue parking on the pavement is not fair. It means people might have to walk out into busy roads to get past. ____39____ For people with disabilities or blindness, this risk is even greater.
In fact, parking on pavements is simply not acceptable as it prioritizes driver convenience over pedestrian safety. The long-term solution lies with urban designers. Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. ____40____ Additionally, improving reliable and affordable public transport would reduce our reliance on cars. Our streets need to be designed for everyone, not just for vehicles.
A. This can probably cause accidents.
B. Safety is the main concern for this.
C. The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky.
D. They should make proper schedules to limit pavement parking.
E. For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks.
F. The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people.
G. Lots of places aren’t served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨英国停车难问题及人行道停车现象,分析利弊并提出改善停车与公交系统的解决方案。
【36题详解】
上文“The number of cars on UK roads is growing. Finding places for people to park their vehicles is often difficult. Problems include old, narrow roads with no parking bays; the increasing size of cars such as SUVs (cars that are generally bigger and taller than a standard car); and families often having more than one vehicle. (英国道路上的汽车数量正在增加。为人们寻找停车的地方往往很困难。问题包括没有停车位的老旧狭窄道路、运动型多用途汽车这类体型越来越大的车辆,以及很多家庭拥有不止一辆车。)”说明英国存在多种停车难题。空处需要承接上文,引出“人行道停车”的结果。C项“The issues have made finding somewhere to park a car tricky. (这些问题使得找地方停车变得很棘手。)”中的“The issues”与上文提到的停车难题相呼应,且句义能自然引出下文人们在人行道停车的行为,空处和前文为顺接关系。故选C。
【37题详解】
下文“It is designed as a dedicated zone for pedestrians (行人), allowing individuals to travel to school, work, or shops. (它被设计成行人的专用区域,方便人们上学、上班或购物。)”中的“It”指代前文内容,且描述的是某一场所的功能。F项“The primary function of a pavement is to provide a safe path for people. (人行道的主要功能是为人们提供一条安全的通道。)”直接点明人行道的功能,与下文对人行道用途的描述相契合,空处和后文为解释说明关系。故选F。
【38题详解】
上文“It would be great if everyone could travel by public transport but that isn’t always practical. (如果每个人都能乘坐公共交通工具出行当然很好,但这并不总是可行的。)”提出公共交通出行不切实际的观点。下文“For most people, a monthly season ticket to a major city can cost hundreds of pounds. (对大多数人来说,去大城市的月票可能要花几百英镑。)”提到公共交通费用高昂。G项“Lots of places aren’t served by public transport and fares can be quite expensive. (很多地方没有公共交通服务,而且车费相当昂贵。)”既解释了公共交通不切实际的原因,又与下文的费用内容相呼应,空处和前文为因果关系,和后文为并列关系。故选G。
【39题详解】
上文“It means people might have to walk out into busy roads to get past. (这意味着人们可能不得不走到繁忙的马路上才能通过。)”说明人行道停车会迫使行人走入车流。下文“For people with disabilities or blindness, this risk is even greater. (对于残疾人或盲人来说,这种风险更大。)”中的“this risk”指代前文提到的危险情况。A项“This can probably cause accidents. (这很可能会导致事故。)”承接上文行人走入车流的情况,点明该行为存在的风险,且与下文的 “risk”相呼应,空处和前文为因果关系,和后文为递进关系。故选A。
【40题详解】
上文“Increasing the supply of parking must be a top priority for them. (增加停车位供应必须是他们的首要任务。)”中的“them”指代前文的“urban designers (城市规划者)”,提出要增加停车位的观点。E项“For example, they must invest in building more multi-storey car parks. (例如,他们必须投资建设更多的多层停车场。)”中的“they”与“urban designers”对应,且用举例的方式说明增加停车位的具体措施,空处和前文为举例论证关系。故选E。

Excitement stirred within me as I recognized the lotus field, the stone arch bridge and the willow trees instantly. “Look, that’s the West Lake! That’s in Hangzhou, ____57____ I lived!”
I shared my amazement with the family members. Never did I imagine that Hangzhou would join hands with the city of my childhood ____58____ (share) some of its greatest treasures with my fellow Clevelanders. But none of this should have surprised me on reflection. After all, the museum quietly fueled my passion ____59____ China many years ago.
Its ____60____ (wide) praised collections of Chinese art, from mountainous landscape scrolls to fine porcelain wares, drew me at a young age ____61____ brought me an incomprehensible sense of comfort at a time when I was still nursing grief from the loss of my mother.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在美国克利夫兰艺术博物馆参观中国艺术展览时,感受到了家乡杭州与异国他乡之间的文化联系。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意:在克利夫兰艺术博物馆的一个特别展览的入口处,迎接我的那张照片有一种令人惊讶的熟悉感。根据空前a surprising可知,空处需用名词作had的宾语,familiar的名词为familiarity“熟悉感”,不可数名词。故填familiarity。
【57题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:看,那是西湖!那是我住过的杭州!空处需用关系词引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Hangzhou,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,所以空处需用关系副词where引导定语从句。故填where。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我从未想过杭州会与我童年生活的城市携手,与我的克利夫兰同胞分享它最宝贵的财富。that引导的宾语从句已有谓语动词would join,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,结合句意可知,空处需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to share。
【59题详解】
考查介词。句意:毕竟,多年前博物馆悄悄地激发了我对中国的热情。passion for...“对……的热爱”,固定搭配。故填for。
【60题详解】
考查副词。句意:它广受赞誉的中国艺术收藏品,从山峦风景卷轴到精美瓷器,在我年轻的时候就吸引了我,并在我仍因失去母亲而悲伤的时候给我带来了难以理解的安慰感。空处需用副词作状语修饰动词praised,wide的副词为widely“广泛地”。故填widely。
【61题详解】
考查连词。句意同上。空处需用连词连接并列的谓语动词drew和brought,结合句意可知,此处表示并列关系,所以空处需用连词and。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在全球备受赞誉的展览上,我很高兴地向家人展示我以前在杭州常去的博物馆里的特殊艺术品。空处作定语修饰exhibition,celebrate与exhibition为被动关系,应用过去分词celebrated“著名的”,构成“globally celebrated exhibition(全球著名的展览)”。故填celebrated。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:我很高兴向家人展示来自杭州博物馆的特别艺术品,那些博物馆我以前经常去。“before in Hangzhou”表明动作发生在“过去之过去”,主句用一般过去时(was delighted),从句应用过去完成时。“frequent”意为“常去”,其过去完成时为 had frequented。故填had frequented。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:有那么一瞬间,西湖的景象展现在我眼前,架起了连接两座城市的桥梁,这两座城市都是我心之所向。本句已有谓语动词unfolded,且空处没有连词,所以空处需用非谓语动词,结合句意可知,空处需用现在分词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。故填bridging。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对我来说,这真是一件跨文化的艺术品。空处需用不定冠词a/an泛指一件跨文化的艺术品,cross-cultural是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以空处需用不定冠词a。故填a。

The Sound of Raindrops

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。
Jane was busy in the kitchen, stirring eggs for her annual “Pancake Day” party. It was a tradition she had held for ten years — a casual get-together with friends, simple food, and lots of laughter. However, this year, things felt different.
Her daughter, Liz, walked in, looking hesitant. “Mum,” she said. “I know you haven’t seen the guest list, but our new neighbor, Marjory, is holding a huge party tonight, too.” Marjory had just moved into the big house next door. “It’s a French-themed fancy party,” Liz explained. “She has hired professional caterers (餐饮服务), and she’s even prepared a colorful piñata (彩罐) and a collection of sparkling masks. She wants to make a big impression on the village.”
Jane felt a wave of anxiety. “So, she’s trying to steal my guests?” Jane tried to sound lighthearted, but she was worried. Would her friends prefer Marjory’s luxury event to her simple pancakes?
The evening arrived. To Jane’s surprise and relief, the doorbell rang. Bob and other familiar friends flooded in, filling the kitchen with chatter. “We dropped in on the big house first,” Bob explained, grabbing a warm pancake. “But it was a disaster. The caterers didn’t turn up!” Bob continued, laughing, “The house was huge but empty. Marjory was standing there in a fancy purple dress, looking panic-stricken. So we made our excuses and came here. Your pancakes are much better anyway!”
Jane smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. Her tradition was safe. The kitchen was warm and lively, a stark contrast to the silence next door. Curious, Jane glanced out the kitchen window, which faced Marjory’s dining room. Through the glass, the scene was heartbreakingly clear. Marjory was sitting all alone at a long table set for twenty people. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was burying her face in her hands, surrounded by untouched decorations.
Bob followed Jane’s gaze and shook his head. “Well, that’s depressing,” he said, reaching for the switch of the window blind. “Let’s just close this so we don’t have to look at it and ruin our mood.”
注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: But suddenly, Jane stopped him.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Ten minutes later, Marjory arrived, carrying a big bag.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
But suddenly, Jane stopped him. “Don’t close it,” she said softly. She could see how sad Marjory looked, and she knew that no one should spend such an evening alone. Without hesitation, Jane walked to the door, crossed the yard, and knocked gently. When Marjory opened the door with red eyes, Jane smiled and said, “We’d love to have you join us. Our party is small, but it’s full of warmth.” It was clear that Marjory didn’t expect this kindness, but she nodded slowly.
Ten minutes later, Marjory arrived, carrying a big bag. She brought her masks and decorations, which made the kitchen look even more colorful. Everyone welcomed her, and soon she was laughing — a sound that hadn’t been heard in her house all night. As she ate her first pancake, she whispered, “Thank you for saving my night.” Jane realized that a simple act of kindness could mean more than any fancy party, which was something her heart would never forget.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Jane举办年度“煎饼日”派对时,得知新邻居Marjory也在举办豪华法式派对。原本担心客人被抢走的Jane,在看到Marjory独自面对空荡派对时,决定伸出援手,邀请她加入自己的温馨聚会的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“但突然,Jane阻止了他。”并结合原文可知,第一段可描写Jane看到Marjory独自哭泣后,决定邀请她加入自己的派对,并亲自去邀请的经过。
②由第二段首句内容“十分钟后,Marjory带着一个大包来了。”可知,第二段可描写Marjory带着装饰品来到Jane家,大家热烈欢迎她,她感受到了温暖,并对Jane表示感谢的情景。
2.续写线索:阻止关窗——看到Marjory独自哭泣——决定邀请——亲自去请——Marjory到来——大家欢迎——Marjory感谢——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①充满:be full of/be filled with
②带来:bring/carry/take along
③欢迎:welcome/greet
④拯救:save/rescue /salvage
情绪类
①悲伤:sad/sorrowful/heartbroken
②温暖:warmth/kindness/friendliness

【点睛】【高分句型1】She could see how sad Marjory looked, and she knew that no one should spend such an evening alone.(运用了how引导的宾语从句和that引导的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】It was clear that Marjory didn’t expect this kindness, but she nodded slowly.(运用了it作形式主语,that从句作真正的主语从句)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Artificial intelligence (AI) holds profound promise to transform education, from personalizing learning to boosting teaching efficiency. Yet even as a growing number of educators embrace its potential, it raises critical ethical concerns and requires conscious, responsible adoption. Below is a quick overview of these key concerns, rooted in real-world AI integration in today’s classrooms.
To guide the systematic integration of AI, institutions worldwide have been developing policies tailored to their unique needs, outlining best practices for its application in educational settings.
The United States
“Training + sharing” model empowers 74% of teachers to use AI, bridging the digital skill gap.
Australia
Cogniti AI enables college teachers to craft AI helpers and deliver detailed feedback.
Canada
Artificial Intelligent Defect Inspection regulates high-risk AI, ensuring the security of personal information.
China
National AI + Education Plan addresses content and resource gaps via tools and frameworks.
As we continue to monitor AI’s evolving role in education, navigating through the challenges of its integration remains a top priority. UNESCO, a leading international organization, emphasizes that sound AI education policy requires global educational communities to truly understand the nature, functions and potential of AI before its further promotion. Premature policy-making without this foundation risks ineffectiveness.
21. What’s the gap in “Concern 4” from 2024 to 2025?
A. 3%. B. 8%. C. 61%. D. 74%.
22 Which country’s policy addresses “Concern 1”?
A. The United States. B. Australia. C. Canada. D. China.
23. According to UNESCO, what should AI education policy stress?
A. Basic understanding. B. Global cooperation.
C. Commercial promotion. D. Initial effectiveness
B
I first encountered the classics at 19, when I studied English literature at university. But a lack of life experience, combined with exams, essay deadlines and an obsession with good grades, left me little time to truly sink in. Middlemarch, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Bovary: I loved these books, yet I never got the chance to deeply engage with them.
Some 40 years later as an editor, it’s now my job to figure out what makes a book tick or more often, what it needs to make it tick. So, when a colleague suggested we deconstruct classics to find their “secret to lasting appeal,” I was intrigued. I decided to reread Middlemarch, which I had loved before but never fully grasped. I did hesitate a bit, though: could I, with my attention constantly distracted by technology, handle its 900 pages of tiny print?
Not wanting to hold back entirely, I tried the audiobook instead. The audio’s vivid delivery certainly drew me in, but what truly took me aback was the new understanding that came with age. Themes that felt distant at 19 came into sharp focus at 60: ideas of marriage, ambition, and unmet expectations that had flown over my younger head now echoed (回响) deeply within me. I also noticed striking parallels in other classic characters: Emma’s desire for an “ideal life” in Madame Bovary mirrors the social comparison we see on social media today, and the obsession with youth in The Picture of Dorian Gray reflects our selfie-obsessed culture.
Then came the real work: taking them apart to see why they’re classics. Some were easy to analyse, others tricky, but we gave them the attention they deserved — more than I ever could at 19. What struck me most was that classics endure not for their age, but for capturing universal human truths; desires, fears, and hopes that never fade. Rereading them isn’t just about revisiting old tales; it reconnects us to our unchanging human nature, enriches our understanding of time, and grows with us as we do.
24. What is implied about the first encounter with classics?
A. It was mainly for academic success.
B. It enriched the author’s experience.
C. It proved too difficult for the author.
D. It failed to obtain full appreciation.
25. What does the underlined word “intrigued” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Hesitant. B. Interested. C. Refreshed. D. Overwhelmed.
26. Why does the author mention Emma and Dorian Gray?
A. To show classics’ modern relevance.
B. To criticize current social problems.
C. To present impressive analytical skills.
D. To highlight their enduring popularity.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Busy Youth, Fading Truth
B. Modern Whisper of Audiobooks
C. Changing Trend, Unchanging Insight
D. Time’s Echo of Literary Classics
C
Between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa, a 55-mile Comrades Marathon is unfolding with nine medals, each tied to a strict time limit. Hundreds of runners may fall short even after giving their all, yet they remain excited, proud, and eager to return next year.
This scene stands as the most authentic reflection of the “paradox (悖论) of effort”. First coined by University of Toronto psychologist Michael Inzlicht, the concept refers to a seemingly contradictory human tendency that we often pursue things not for ease, but precisely because their difficulty draws us in.
Inzlicht and his team credit this persistence to two main factors: first, rewards are more valued because of the effort put in; second, effort itself functions as its own reward. When we invest heavily in something without getting equal returns, we tend to convince ourselves that “the result is worth it.” Over time, like Pavlov’s dogs responding to a bell, we gradually relate effort to positive outcomes.
A new study published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General in 2025 further uncovered the mystery of the paradox of effort. When considering the future, participants assigned greater value to cash than to mugs (马克杯) that required climbing stairs to obtain, but after actually completing the stair-climbing task, they raised the value of the mugs due to the effort invested. Behind this hides a general principle of timing: future effort takes the shine off the appeal, but past effort gives a brilliance to perceived value.
The shift in value perception, however, relies on a critical balance between “within reach” and “out of sight”. While people like something more as it gets more challenging, this appeal fades when it becomes overly difficult. That’s why the marathon has different medals: everyone needs a goal that feels possible with a little extra effort.
The paradox of effort never encourages blind suffering; instead, true value often emerges from those “optimal challenges”. Neither should you shy away from toil and trouble, nor should you chase hardship for hardship’s sake. Just as Inzlicht said, “It’s the struggle within the right bounds that fulfills your life and brings lasting happiness.”
28. What does the Comrades Marathon suggest?
A. Failure can be a source of pride.
B. Strict rules boost participants’ passion.
C. Difficulty can be a motivator.
D. Physical endurance ensures final success.
29 Which of the following best reflects the factors behind the “paradox of effort”?
A. A chef uses pre-made meals for instant profits.
B A researcher abandons project despite potential gains.
C. A shopper values self-crafted items over finished ones.
D. A student jumps to quick conclusions without thinking.
30. What does the 2025 study show about the “paradox of effort”?
A. Future task elevates financial appeal.
B. Stair-climbing devalues invested effort.
C. Past effort reduces mug’s value.
D. Effort shifts perception of its value.
31. What does Inzlicht advise about effort?
A. Seek maximum difficulty. B. Bear unnecessary hardship.
C. Embrace attainable challenge. D. Pursue effortless happiness.
D
Sunscreen is a literal lifesaver for humans, protecting us from dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays (紫外线) and skin cancer. However, the same cannot be said for its effects on marine life. Every year, thousands of tons of commercial sunscreens wash off swimmers and wind up in the planet’s oceans. Studies indicate that the chemicals from commercial sunscreens can cause pollution and lead to coral bleaching, threatening marine habitat.
Drawing inspiration from nature, material scientists at Nanyang Technological University have developed the world’s first pollen-based sunscreen to address this critical issue. Pollen (花粉) grains have evolved strong outer layers that safeguard their internal components against unfavorable environmental conditions, including intense UV rays. Crucially, this natural protective characteristic remains effective during extraction, positioning pollen as a safer, eco-conscious sunscreen alternative.
Unlike commercial sunscreens that rely on harmful chemicals, the pollen-based sunscreen adopts a gentle, eco-friendly production process, using pollen’s naturally tough shell to form a lightweight natural microgel (微凝胶) that acts as a UV barrier. Laboratory tests confirm it achieves a sun protection factor (SPF) of about 30, blocking approximately 97% of UV rays. This matches the protection level of commercial alternatives, while being far gentler for sensitive skin.
Beyond its eco-friendliness, the pollen sunscreen offers cooling benefits even during peak UV hours (10 a.m. — 4 p.m.). In tests, skin treated with the pollen sunscreen stayed up to 5℃ cooler for as long as 20 minutes under intense UV radiation of 3200 μW/cm2, a level typical of midday summer sunlight. This cooling effect stems from pollen’s natural trait of absorbing less heat, which addresses the overheating discomfort common with regular sunscreens.
Despite its advantages and UV protection meeting commercial standards, the product remains unavailable to consumers. As Cho Nam-Joon, the study’s leading author, emphasized, “Official approvals and additional tests on its sustained reliability under various storage conditions are necessary before market launch.” This required process delays its arrival on store shelves, even as the pollen-based sunscreen shows great potential for reducing chemical pollution and protecting both human health and marine life.
32. What is the problem with commercial sunscreen?
A. The risk of skin cancer. B. The inefficiency of UV protection.
C. The difficulty in washing off. D. The threat to marine ecosystems.
33. What distinguishes the pollen-based sunscreen?
A. Its high SPF value. B. Its natural ingredients.
C. Its marine-based components. D. Its skin-repair ability.
34. How does the author explain the cooling effect of the pollen sunscreen?
A. By providing statistics. B. By designing a test.
C. By making comparisons. D. By describing a process.
35. What is the focus of the last paragraph regarding the pollen sunscreen?
A. Procedures of its official approval. B. Outlook for its market performance.
C. Factors for its delayed launch. D. Significance of its reliability tests.

Jane was busy in the kitchen, stirring eggs for her annual “Pancake Day” party. It was a tradition she had held for ten years — a casual get-together with friends, simple food, and lots of laughter. However, this year, things felt different.
Her daughter, Liz, walked in, looking hesitant. “Mum,” she said. “I know you haven’t seen the guest list, but our new neighbor, Marjory, is holding a huge party tonight, too.” Marjory had just moved into the big house next door. “It’s a French-themed fancy party,” Liz explained. “She has hired professional caterers (餐饮服务), and she’s even prepared a colorful piñata (彩罐) and a collection of sparkling masks. She wants to make a big impression on the village.”
Jane felt a wave of anxiety. “So, she’s trying to steal my guests?” Jane tried to sound lighthearted, but she was worried. Would her friends prefer Marjory’s luxury event to her simple pancakes?
The evening arrived. To Jane’s surprise and relief, the doorbell rang. Bob and other familiar friends flooded in, filling the kitchen with chatter. “We dropped in on the big house first,” Bob explained, grabbing a warm pancake. “But it was a disaster. The caterers didn’t turn up!” Bob continued, laughing, “The house was huge but empty. Marjory was standing there in a fancy purple dress, looking panic-stricken. So we made our excuses and came here. Your pancakes are much better anyway!”
Jane smiled, feeling a weight lift off her shoulders. Her tradition was safe. The kitchen was warm and lively, a stark contrast to the silence next door. Curious, Jane glanced out the kitchen window, which faced Marjory’s dining room. Through the glass, the scene was heartbreakingly clear. Marjory was sitting all alone at a long table set for twenty people. Her shoulders were shaking, and she was burying her face in her hands, surrounded by untouched decorations.
Bob followed Jane’s gaze and shook his head. “Well, that’s depressing,” he said, reaching for the switch of the window blind. “Let’s just close this so we don’t have to look at it and ruin our mood.”
注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1: But suddenly, Jane stopped him.
