Because of this, families like ours, who depended on farming, lost their source of income. My father was forced to buy land around 100 km away from the city to continue farming. He never let us help on the land as he wanted us to focus on our studies and leave his farming roots behind.” Divakar grew up to become a project scientist at the India Space Research Organization. He remained completely disconnected from his farming roots until 2009 when his father suffered a serious illness that left him unable to move. That was when Divakar chose to return to his father and started his farming life. Initially, Divakar grew crops like local farmers but had much smaller earnings compared to his previous work despite hard work. In order to stand out in the farming crowd, Divakar intended to grow a different crop. After thorough research, he turned to dates (海枣) — a crop grown in the hot desert of countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Divakar bought 150 costly young trees and put in considerable effort to enhance the conditions for their growth. Yet, he did not get any return in the first several years. “My mother reminded me why my father did not want me to pursue a farming career. I felt like I was at a crossroads in life but I trusted my heart,” he says. It was only after four and a half years that Divakar saw the first flowering; his joy was beyond description. Today, he can get a generous harvest, and planting dates has earned him significant recognition. Referring to today’s generation, Divakar says, “People these days think it exciting to quit current jobs and take up farming. Many come to me and inquire about investment and profit. Farming comes with its own set of challenges and without any guaranteed success regardless of the best practices one adopts. Farming is not a real-estate business that you will get double the investment in a brief period. They need to measure what they truly value. For me, inner peace is more important than money.” 41. How did a rapid expansion of Bangalore city affect Divakar’s family? A. They started a new business. B. They suffered financial losses. C. They moved to a bigger village. D. They became wealthy in the city. 42. What drove Divakar to reconnect with his farming roots? A. A desire for a simpler life. B. Encouragement from his family. C. His father’s poor health condition. D. The envy of other farmers’ success. 43. Which of the following shows Divakar’s initial farming experience? A. Enjoyable. B. Rewarding. C. Unchallenging. D. Struggling. 44. What does Divakar convey to today’s generation wanting to pursue a farming career? A. Think twice before you act. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. What goes around comes around. D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Quick Profit from Farming B. The state of producing a profit of Date Farming C. The Challenges of Modern Farming D. A Journey Back to the Farming Roots 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Begur Divakar放弃自己的高薪工作，选择回到家乡继承父亲的农作。因收益不好，他便选择种植当地没有的海枣，通过自己的努力，他收获了巨大的成功。并告诫那些想要选择农业事业的当代人，要三思而后行，要衡量自己的看重的东西后再决定。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Our village lost its existence with a rapid expansion of Bangalore city. Because of this, families like ours, who depended on farming, lost their source of income.(随着班加罗尔市的快速扩张，我们的村庄失去了存在。因此，像我们这样依赖农业的家庭就失去了收入来源)”可知，因为班加罗尔市的扩张，Divakar的家庭失去了收入来源，遭受了经济危机，故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“He remained completely disconnected from his farming roots until 2009 when his father suffered a serious illness that left him unable to move. That was when Divakar chose to return to his father and started his farming life.(他一直与农业根完全脱节，直到2009年，他的父亲患了一场重病，无法动弹。就在那时，Divakar选择回到父亲身边，开始了他的农耕生活)”可知，因为父亲的身体状况太差，因此Divakar选择了农耕生活，从而与农业根源产生了联系，故选C。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Initially, Divakar grew crops like local farmers but had much smaller earnings compared to his previous work despite hard work.(起初，Divakar像当地农民一样种植弄作物，但尽管努力工作，与之前的工作相比，他的收入要小得多)”可知，起初，尽管Divakar努力种植，但收入却很少，因此Divakar最开始的农作经历是困难的，故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段所说的话“Farming is not a real-estate business that you will get double the investment in a brief period. They need to measure what they truly value. For me, inner peace is more important than money.(农业不像是你能在短时间内获得双倍投资的房地产业务。他们需要衡量自己真正看重的是什么。对我来说，内心的平静比金钱重要得多)”可知，Divakar认为，当代的人想要在农业上寻求事业，那么他们需要衡量自己真正看重的东西，因为农业不是一个低投资高收入的产业，故他建议当代人要三思而后行，故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“He remained completely disconnected from his farming roots until 2009 when his father suffered a serious illness that left him unable to move. That was when Divakar chose to return to his father and started his farming life. (他一直与农业根完全脱节，直到2009年，他的父亲患了一场重病，无法动弹。就在那时，Divakar选择回到父亲身边，开始了他的农耕生活)”并通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了Begur Divakar放弃自己的高薪工作，选择回到家乡继承父亲的农作。因收益不好，他便选择种植当地没有的海枣，通过自己的努力，他收获了巨大的成功，故D项“A Journey Back to the Farming Roots (回到农业根源之旅)”符合文章标题，能概括全文，故选D。 C As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping（形成刻板印象）their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics. In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices. While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender. Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it— they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.” Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance. 46. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless? A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand. C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition. 47 What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey. C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test. 48. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects? A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task. C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind. 49. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product. C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women. 50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Benefits of Gendered Products in Marketing B. The Role of Gender in Human-Technology Connection C. How Stereotypes of Gender Limit Technological Development D. The Role of Anthropomorphism in Shaping Consumer Behavior 【答案】46. A 47. B 48. D 49. B 50. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了科技产品去性别化的趋势。研究表明，性别化虽能增强用户粘性，但也可能强化刻板印象。由于人们习惯给物品赋予性别，去性别化很难实现。不过，通过赋予产品打破传统的性别角色，反而可能成为改变刻板印象的契机。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People are stereotyping their gendered objects in very traditional ways.(人们总是以非常传统的方式对具有性别特征的物品进行刻板印象式的定义)”以及“Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this.( 完全去除性别因素似乎是一种解决这一问题的简单方法。)”可知，人们对带有性别特征的物品有传统的刻板印象，而去除性别特征是解决这一问题的方法。因此，目的是为了减少刻板印象。故选A。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.”(在她的研究中，Martin让参与者对一款名为“Miuu”的数字语音助手和自动驾驶汽车的不同性别版本（男性、女性和无性别）进行评分，以评估他们对这些设备的依恋程度以及购买它们的兴趣。)”可知，Martin 要求参与者对他们对不同版本产品的依恋程度进行“评分/评价”。这属于问卷调查（Respond to a survey）的范畴。故选B。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it— they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”(Martin的研究还发现，创造一个无性别特征的物品是困难的。例如，如果一个物品的名字旨在听起来没有性别之分，比如“Miuu”，参与者还是会为其赋予性别——他们会认为Miuu是“他”或者“她”。)”可知，即使产品的名字（如 Miuu）听起来是中性的，参与者“would still assign a gender to it”（仍然会给它分配一个性别）。这说明在人们的潜意识里，很难将物品完全视为无性别的，性别观念根深蒂固。故选D。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化)“provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.( 然而，Martin看到了一丝希望：她认为拟人化“为改变刻板印象提供了一个机会”。当女性被置于像经营公司这样的领导职位时，这会减少对女性的负面刻板印象。同样，拟人化的产品也可以被创造出来，承担与刻板印象不符的角色——比如一个男性机器人来协助护理工作，或者一个女性机器人来帮忙进行计算等等。)”可知，第一句提到“Martin sees a silver lining”（一线希望），接着阐述了拟人化可以提供改变刻板印象的机会，并举例说明打破传统性别角色的产品（如男性护理机器人）可以起到积极作用。这是在讲“给产品赋予性别”带来的积极一面。由此可知，最后一段主要讲的是为产品设定性别属性的好处。故选B。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章首先提出了“去性别化”的趋势，接着通过研究指出 “性别化”能增加用户的依恋感，然后讨论了“去性别化”的困难，最后提出了“性别化”在改变刻板印象方面的潜力。整篇文章都在围绕“性别”在人类与科技产品关系中扮演的角色展开。由此可知，这篇文章的最佳标题是“性别在人与科技联系中的作用”。故选B。 D The convenience of modern life is nothing short of astonishing. As I write this, my phone is wirelessly sending some of the greatest hits from the 1700s to my portable speaker. I could use that same device to, within moments, get a car to pick me up, or have food delivered to my house. The fact that, as a culture, we seek out and celebrate such short cuts is understandable. They make it easier to have fun, and save us time and energy. That said, most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side. Before we get into that, it is important to understand why convenience is so seductive in the first place. We often resist doing the things we need to do in order to make progress. Behind every well-intentioned plan lies this horrible sense of inertia (惰性). Why is this resistance — and our corresponding appetite for ease — such an essential part of our makeup? Here, insights from evolutionary psychology (particularly the idea of “evolutionary mismatch”) can help. Evolutionary mismatch is the idea that we evolved for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and that while our circumstances have changed completely, our brains and bodies haven’t. Resistance was a necessary counterbalance to the bursts of intense activity that characterized the lives of hunter-gatherers: searching for food in driving rain, or running to escape a dangerous animal. It’s the reason we still ask: “Do I really have to be doing this? Shouldn’t I save my energy?” The people who chose to remain sheltered during snowstorms, when the prospect of obtaining food was low, were more likely to live and pass on their genes to the next generation. And since those guys are our ancestors, we’ve inherited (继承) that tendency. Since that time, of course, innovation has changed things greatly. We’ve bent technology and our environments at least partly to serve our natural instinct to conserve energy. The question is: what do we stand to lose by following our tendency to prioritise comfort and convenience? Continually choosing the convenient path lessens your ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties. And, from an evolutionary perspective, some measure of discomfort is just as crucial to our survival as rest and relaxation. Our ancestors didn’t survive purely by being lazy, but through a combination of playing it safe and taking necessary risks: for example, pushing through the pain and effort of leaving a familiar home, in order to find a place closer to sources of food and better protected from the elements. It is this difficulty itself that shapes and develops our character. In the technological world we have fashioned, we must sometimes make a conscious effort to act in opposition to our instincts. As a culture, we must remember — and remind our young people — that while convenience feels good in the moment, our capacity to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary inheritance too, and central to the adventure of life. 51. What does the word “seductive” (paragraph 3) most probably mean? A. Attractive and tempting. B. Useful and practical. C. Harmful and dangerous. D. Annoying and frustrating. 52. According to the passage, what does “evolutionary mismatch” primarily refer to? A. The inconsistency between personal goals and societal expectations. B. The contrast between modern convenience and ancient challenges. C. The controversy over the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of ancient people. D. The conflict between our natural instinct and the current environment. 53. According to the passage, prioritizing convenience in modern life may ________. A. lead to a lack of innovation and progress B. reduce our ability to overcome challenges C. make us overly dependent on technology D. cause a decline in physical fitness and health 54. How does the author develop the central argument? A. By comparing different scientific theories. B. By analyzing historical events and their impacts. C. By combining evolutionary theory and ancestral examples. D. By conducting experiments on human evolutionary behavior. 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Benefits of Modern Technology B. Rejecting Modern Conveniences for a Better Life C. The Dark Side of Convenience in Modern Life D. Understanding Evolution in Today’s World 【答案】51. A 52. D 53. B 54. C 55. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了现代生活中便利的诱人之处、进化错配理论及便利的负面影响并呼吁重视应对挑战的能力。 51题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Before we get into that, it is important to understand why convenience is so seductive in the first place. We often resist doing the things we need to do in order to make progress.(在我们深入讨论之前，重要的是要理解为什么便利一开始就如此seductive。我们常常抗拒做那些为了取得进步而需要做的事情。)”可知，便利一开始就很有诱惑力，让我们抗拒做那些需要做的事，seductive意思是“有吸引力的，诱人的”。故选A。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Here, insights from evolutionary psychology (particularly the idea of “evolutionary mismatch”) can help. Evolutionary mismatch is the idea that we evolved for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and that while our circumstances have changed completely, our brains and bodies haven’t.(在这里，进化心理学的见解（特别是“进化错配”的概念）可以提供帮助。进化错配指的是我们进化出了狩猎采集的生活方式，虽然我们的环境已经完全改变，但我们的大脑和身体却没有。)”可知，“进化错配”主要指我们自然的本能和当前环境之间的冲突。故选D。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“Continually choosing the convenient path lessens your ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties.(不断地选择便利的道路会降低你应对不可避免的困难的能力。)”可知，在现代生活中优先考虑便利可能会降低我们克服挑战的能力。故选B。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Here, insights from evolutionary psychology (particularly the idea of “evolutionary mismatch”) can help.(在这里，进化心理学的见解（特别是“进化错配”的概念）可以提供帮助。)”以及第五段中“Resistance was a necessary counterbalance to the bursts of intense activity that characterized the lives of hunter-gatherers: searching for food in driving rain, or running to escape a dangerous animal.(对于狩猎采集者生活中以激烈活动为特征的活动爆发来说，抵抗是一种必要的平衡：在暴雨中寻找食物，或者奔跑以逃离危险的动物。)”可知，作者通过结合进化理论和祖先的例子来展开中心论点。故选C。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“That said, most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side.(话虽如此，大多数人都能感觉到便利也有阴暗的一面。)”可知，文章主要讨论了现代生活中便利的阴暗面，所以“The Dark Side of Convenience in Modern Life(现代生活中便利的阴暗面)”是最佳标题。故选C。 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I got excited at the news told by the nurse that we could make preparations for taking our new born twins, David and Mark, home with us. However, I had no idea what should I do as a father. “How can I take care of such delicate (脆弱的) creatures at home without your instructions?” I asked. The nurse laughed, “Don’t worry. You will be fine. They know how to tell you their needs.” It was the beginning of a lifelong journey, David and Mark were just like a lump of clay (一块黏土), which my wife, Karen and I, to some degree, could shape. I wondered how to shape them and make them become great men — not men only with strong build and healthy bodies, but men of character, integrity (正直) and bravery, and with a positive influence. When our sons were learning to walk, I got a suggestion: Always treat your sons like the adults they are capable of becoming, and make them become men. The advice let Karen and me know what really matters in life and intentionally build values into their life. But how could we develop their character and build values into their life? Finally Karen and I decided to have meaningful dialogues about some role models while taking a walk with them in the morning. And each night, I read them a bedtime story about positive figures. One night, when I was doing so. I realized just as the story reached the climax (高潮), I saw wonder in their eyes. I realized I often missed those expressions when reading the story. So I halted reading stories to them. Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces. They warmly discussed the right thing to do before I revealed how the characters handled the situation. This full-eye-contact storytelling helped us bond each other. And they gradually became the kind of people that Karen and I wanted them to be. Now thinking back, I think my greatest achievement in life is that my sons have the values Karen and I hold dear. 56. What aspect did the author focus on during his sons’ growth? (no more than 5 words) __________________________________________ 57. Why did the author change from reading stories to telling stories? (No more than 15 words) __________________________________________ 58. What does the underlined word “halted” in Paragraph 4 mean? (One word) __________________________________________ 59. What did the author and Karen do to build values in their sons’ life? (no more than15 words) __________________________________________ 60. Do you agree with the author’s way of raising his kids? Why? (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________ 【答案】56. Character and values. 57. Because he wanted to observe his sons’ reactions and have better communication with them. 58. Stopped./Ceased. 59. They had meaningful dialogues about role models and told moral stories. 60. Yes, because it focuses on character and values, which are essential for life. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为父亲在儿子成长中注重品格培养，通过对话和讲故事塑造其价值观的经历与感悟。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第二段中“I wondered how to shape them and make them become great men — not men only with strong build and healthy bodies, but men of character, integrity (正直) and bravery, and with a positive influence.(我想知道如何塑造他们，让他们成为伟大的人——不仅仅是体格强壮、身体健康的人，而是有品格、正直、勇敢，有积极影响的人。)”以及最后一段“Now thinking back, I think my greatest achievement in life is that my sons have the values Karen and I hold dear.(现在回想起来，我认为我一生中最大的成就就是我的儿子们拥有我和凯伦珍视的价值观。)”可知，作者在儿子成长过程中关注的是品格和价值观。故答案为：Character and values. 【57题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第四段中“I realized I often missed those expressions when reading the story. So I halted reading stories to them. Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces.(我意识到我在读故事的时候经常错过那些表情。所以我停止给他们读故事。相反，我开始给他们讲我自己编的故事，讲一个好男孩和一个坏男孩面临道德困境的故事，这样我就可以观察他们的表情。)”可知，作者从读故事改为讲故事是因为他想观察儿子们的反应，并与他们进行更好的交流。故答案为：Because he wanted to observe his sons’ reactions and have better communication with them. 【58题详解】 考查词句猜测。由文章第四段中“I realized I often missed those expressions when reading the story. So I halted reading stories to them. Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces.(我意识到我在读故事的时候经常错过那些表情。所以我halted给他们读故事。相反，我开始给他们讲我自己编的故事，讲一个好男孩和一个坏男孩面临道德困境的故事，这样我就可以观察他们的表情。)”可知，作者之前是在给儿子们读故事，但后来他改变了方式，开始自己编故事讲给他们听，因此halted在这里的意思是“停止”或“中止”。故答案为：Stopped./Ceased. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。由文章第四段中“Finally Karen and I decided to have meaningful dialogues about some role models while taking a walk with them in the morning. And each night, I read them a bedtime story about positive figures.(最后，凯伦和我决定在早上和他们散步时，就一些榜样进行有意义的对话。每天晚上，我都会给他们读一个关于正面人物的睡前故事。)”可知，作者和凯伦通过和儿子们进行有意义的对话和讲道德故事来在他们的生活中建立价值观。故答案为：They had meaningful dialogues about role models and told moral stories. 【60题详解】 开放性题目，此题要求回答：你同意作者抚养孩子的方式吗？为什么？（不超过20字）答案不唯一，合理即可。例如：是的，因为它关注的是对生活至关重要的性格和价值观。故答案可以为：Yes, because it focuses on character and values, which are essential for life. 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 61. 假定你是育才中学的学生会主席李津，受美国亚特兰大ELCA高中（Eagle's Landing Christian Academy）学生会主席Peter邀请，计划9月底带领10位成员赴该校进行为期—周的交流，请你给对方写一封邮件咨询并介绍相关准备工作。 内容包括： 1.感谢对方的邀请； 2.询问相关准备（具体日程安排、需要携带的物品）； 3.简介准备的中国文化展 注意： 1.词数100左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯； 3. 开头已给出。 Dear Peter， I'm Li Jin, Chairman of the Student Union of Yucai Middle School. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Jin 【答案】Dear Peter, I'm Li Jin, Chairman of the Student Union of Yucai Middle School.

B Growing up in a small village Begur Divakar recalls, “Our village lost its existence with a rapid expansion of Bangalore city. Because of this, families like ours, who depended on farming, lost their source of income. My father was forced to buy land around 100 km away from the city to continue farming. He never let us help on the land as he wanted us to focus on our studies and leave his farming roots behind.” Divakar grew up to become a project scientist at the India Space Research Organization. He remained completely disconnected from his farming roots until 2009 when his father suffered a serious illness that left him unable to move. That was when Divakar chose to return to his father and started his farming life. Initially, Divakar grew crops like local farmers but had much smaller earnings compared to his previous work despite hard work. In order to stand out in the farming crowd, Divakar intended to grow a different crop. After thorough research, he turned to dates (海枣) — a crop grown in the hot desert of countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Divakar bought 150 costly young trees and put in considerable effort to enhance the conditions for their growth. Yet, he did not get any return in the first several years. “My mother reminded me why my father did not want me to pursue a farming career. I felt like I was at a crossroads in life but I trusted my heart,” he says. It was only after four and a half years that Divakar saw the first flowering; his joy was beyond description. Today, he can get a generous harvest, and planting dates has earned him significant recognition. Referring to today’s generation, Divakar says, “People these days think it exciting to quit current jobs and take up farming. Many come to me and inquire about investment and profit. Farming comes with its own set of challenges and without any guaranteed success regardless of the best practices one adopts. Farming is not a real-estate business that you will get double the investment in a brief period. They need to measure what they truly value. For me, inner peace is more important than money.” 41. How did a rapid expansion of Bangalore city affect Divakar’s family? A. They started a new business. B. They suffered financial losses. C. They moved to a bigger village. D. They became wealthy in the city. 42. What drove Divakar to reconnect with his farming roots? A. A desire for a simpler life. B. Encouragement from his family. C. His father’s poor health condition. D. The envy of other farmers’ success. 43. Which of the following shows Divakar’s initial farming experience? A. Enjoyable. B. Rewarding. C. Unchallenging. D. Struggling. 44 What does Divakar convey to today’s generation wanting to pursue a farming career? A. Think twice before you act. B. Every cloud has a silver lining. C. What goes around comes around. D. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 45. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Quick Profit from Farming B. The state of producing a profit of Date Farming C. The Challenges of Modern Farming D. A Journey Back to the Farming Roots C As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping（形成刻板印象）their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics. In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices. While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender. Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it— they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.” Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance. 46. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless? A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand. C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition. 47. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey. C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test. 48. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects? A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task. C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind. 49. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product. C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women. 50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Benefits of Gendered Products in Marketing B. The Role of Gender in Human-Technology Connection C. How Stereotypes of Gender Limit Technological Development D. The Role of Anthropomorphism in Shaping Consumer Behavior D The convenience of modern life is nothing short of astonishing. As I write this, my phone is wirelessly sending some of the greatest hits from the 1700s to my portable speaker. I could use that same device to, within moments, get a car to pick me up, or have food delivered to my house. The fact that, as a culture, we seek out and celebrate such short cuts is understandable. They make it easier to have fun, and save us time and energy. That said, most people are able to sense that convenience has a darker side. Before we get into that, it is important to understand why convenience is so seductive in the first place. We often resist doing the things we need to do in order to make progress. Behind every well-intentioned plan lies this horrible sense of inertia (惰性). Why is this resistance — and our corresponding appetite for ease — such an essential part of our makeup? Here, insights from evolutionary psychology (particularly the idea of “evolutionary mismatch”) can help. Evolutionary mismatch is the idea that we evolved for a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and that while our circumstances have changed completely, our brains and bodies haven’t. Resistance was a necessary counterbalance to the bursts of intense activity that characterized the lives of hunter-gatherers: searching for food in driving rain, or running to escape a dangerous animal. It’s the reason we still ask: “Do I really have to be doing this? Shouldn’t I save my energy?” The people who chose to remain sheltered during snowstorms, when the prospect of obtaining food was low, were more likely to live and pass on their genes to the next generation. And since those guys are our ancestors, we’ve inherited (继承) that tendency. Since that time, of course, innovation has changed things greatly. We’ve bent technology and our environments at least partly to serve our natural instinct to conserve energy. The question is: what do we stand to lose by following our tendency to prioritise comfort and convenience? Continually choosing the convenient path lessens your ability to deal with unavoidable difficulties. And, from an evolutionary perspective, some measure of discomfort is just as crucial to our survival as rest and relaxation. Our ancestors didn’t survive purely by being lazy, but through a combination of playing it safe and taking necessary risks: for example, pushing through the pain and effort of leaving a familiar home, in order to find a place closer to sources of food and better protected from the elements. It is this difficulty itself that shapes and develops our character. In the technological world we have fashioned, we must sometimes make a conscious effort to act in opposition to our instincts. As a culture, we must remember — and remind our young people — that while convenience feels good in the moment, our capacity to adapt and overcome challenges is part of our evolutionary inheritance too, and central to the adventure of life. 51. What does the word “seductive” (paragraph 3) most probably mean? A. Attractive and tempting. B. Useful and practical. C. Harmful and dangerous. D. Annoying and frustrating. 52. According to the passage, what does “evolutionary mismatch” primarily refer to? A. The inconsistency between personal goals and societal expectations. B. The contrast between modern convenience and ancient challenges. C. The controversy over the hunter-gatherer lifestyle of ancient people. D. The conflict between our natural instinct and the current environment. 53. According to the passage, prioritizing convenience in modern life may ________. A. lead to a lack of innovation and progress B. reduce our ability to overcome challenges C. make us overly dependent on technology D. cause a decline in physical fitness and health 54. How does the author develop the central argument? A. By comparing different scientific theories. B. By analyzing historical events and their impacts. C. By combining evolutionary theory and ancestral examples. D. By conducting experiments on human evolutionary behavior. 55. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Benefits of Modern Technology B. Rejecting Modern Conveniences for a Better Life C. The Dark Side of Convenience in Modern Life D. Understanding Evolution in Today’s World 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 第一节：阅读表达（共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I got excited at the news told by the nurse that we could make preparations for taking our new born twins, David and Mark, home with us. However, I had no idea what should I do as a father. “How can I take care of such delicate (脆弱的) creatures at home without your instructions?” I asked. The nurse laughed, “Don’t worry. You will be fine. They know how to tell you their needs.” It was the beginning of a lifelong journey, David and Mark were just like a lump of clay (一块黏土), which my wife, Karen and I, to some degree, could shape. I wondered how to shape them and make them become great men — not men only with strong build and healthy bodies, but men of character, integrity (正直) and bravery, and with a positive influence. When our sons were learning to walk, I got a suggestion: Always treat your sons like the adults they are capable of becoming, and make them become men. The advice let Karen and me know what really matters in life and intentionally build values into their life. But how could we develop their character and build values into their life? Finally Karen and I decided to have meaningful dialogues about some role models while taking a walk with them in the morning. And each night, I read them a bedtime story about positive figures. One night, when I was doing so. I realized just as the story reached the climax (高潮), I saw wonder in their eyes. I realized I often missed those expressions when reading the story. So I halted reading stories to them. Instead, I started telling them stories I created about a good boy and a bad boy facing a moral dilemma so I could watch their faces. They warmly discussed the right thing to do before I revealed how the characters handled the situation. This full-eye-contact storytelling helped us bond each other. And they gradually became the kind of people that Karen and I wanted them to be. Now thinking back, I think my greatest achievement in life is that my sons have the values Karen and I hold dear. 56.
