This display highlights recent acquisitions of rare 17th-century drawings by Samuel Cooper and Richard Gibson.

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了大英博物馆在2025-2026年间举办的四个不同主题的展览。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据各展览的展期信息:“23 Sep 2025-25 Jan 2026: In the company of friends (2025年9月23日-2026年1月25日:In the company of friends)”、“10 Sep 2025-20 May 2026: Making poetry with solid objects (2025年9月10日-2026年5月20日:Making poetry with solid objects)”、“09 Oct 2025-22 Mar 2026: Nordic noir (2025年10月9日-2026年3月22日:Nordic noir)”和“15 Jan-25 Mar 2026: Hawaii, a kingdom crossing oceans (2026年1月15日-3月25日:Hawaii, a kingdom crossing oceans)”可知,只有“Making poetry with solid objects”的展期覆盖了2026年4月。故选B项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据“09 Oct 2025-22 Mar 2026: Nordic noir”部分中“The dominant theme for contemporary artists is nature and the urgency to preserve the valleys, mountains and forests unique to the region. (当代艺术家的主导主题是自然,以及保护该地区独特的山谷、山脉和森林的紧迫性)”可知,该展览中当代艺术家关注的核心是生态环境保护。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。“In the company of friends”主要展出的是绘画(drawings),“Making poetry with solid objects”主要展出的也是绘画(drawings),“Nordic noir”主要展出的是版画(prints),都是平面艺术品;结合“Hawaii, a kingdom crossing oceans”部分中“celebrating Hawaiian artistic heritage from feathered chiefly coats to bold contemporary works. (颂扬夏威夷的艺术遗产,从羽毛酋长外套到大胆的当代作品)”可知,该展览展出的物品(objects)范围很广,从传统服饰到当代艺术品,与其他以平面艺术作品为主的展览形成区别。故选A项。
B
There was one house in particular where I was turned down that evening. Through the porch windows I saw a man eating a big meat pie. I stood in the open door, and while he talked with me, he went on eating.
Without looking up, he snapped out. “I don’t believe you want to work.” I hadn’t mentioned work. I wanted to talk about “food”. In fact, I didn’t want to work. I wanted to take the westbound overland train that night.
“You wouldn’t work if you had a chance,” he bullied.
I glanced at his gentle-faced wife, and knew that but for this Cerberus I’d have a slice of that meat pie. So I sighed to myself and played his game.
“Of course I want work,” I bluffed (唬弄).
“All right,” he said. “Come to the corner of ________ and ________ streets” (I’ve forgotten the address) tomorrow morning. Beside that burned building, work tossing bricks.”
“All right, sir, I’ll be there.”
He returned to the pie. I waited. After a couple of minutes he looked up with an I-thought-you-were-gone expression on his face, and demanded:
“Well?”
“I…I am waiting for something to eat,” I said gently.
“I knew it! If I gave you something to eat now, I’d never see you again. Look at me. I owe no man. I have never asked anyone for food. I have always earned my food. You are idle and lazy. I can see it in your face. I have worked and been honest. I have made myself what I am. And you can do the same, if you work and are honest.”
“Like you?” I asked.
“Yes, like me.”
“All of us?”
“Yes, all of you.”
“But if we all became like you,” I said, “there’d be nobody to toss bricks for you.”
There was a flicker of a smile in his wife’s eye. As for him, he was horrified — but whether at the awful possibility that nobody would toss bricks for him or at my rudeness, I shall never know.
24. What does the underlined word “Cerberus” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The westbound overland train. B. The narrator’s hungry stomach.
C. The man guarding the pie fiercely. D. The woman listening to the talk quietly.
25. Why did the narrator finally claim that he was willing to work?
A. To start a game. B. To regain respect.
C. To earn a train ticket. D. To get some food.
26. How did the woman respond to the narrator’s words?
A. Offended. B. Frightened. C. Embarrassed. D. Amused.
27. How does the narrator finally win the argument?
A. By staying silent. B. By promising to work hard.
C. By appealing to the man’s wife. D. By using the man’s own logic against him.
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在寻找食物时与一个正在吃肉派的男人之间的对话。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“Without looking up, he snapped out. “I don’t believe you want to work.” I hadn’t mentioned work. I wanted to talk about “food”. In fact, I didn’t want to work. I wanted to take the westbound overland train that night.(他头也不抬,厉声说道:“我才不信你是想找活干的。”我压根没提工作的事,我本是来讨口吃的。事实上,我根本不想干活,只想赶上当晚那趟西行的陆路列车。)”和画线词所在的句子“I glanced at his gentle-faced wife, and knew that but for this Cerberus I’d have a slice of that meat pie.(我瞥了一眼他面容和善的妻子,心里清楚,要不是有这个Cerberus,我早就能吃上一块那份肉馅饼了。)”可知,男主人一边吃肉馅派,一边粗暴拒绝作者,甚至无端指责作者不想工作;女主人则面容温和,无任何敌意。短语but for表示“要不是”,作者的核心想法是“要不是这个Cerberus,我就能吃到派”,由此可知,Cerberus是阻碍作者吃肉馅派的人,也就是那个那个极力护着肉馅派的男人。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“I glanced at his gentle-faced wife, and knew that but for this Cerberus I’d have a slice of that meat pie. So I sighed to myself and played his game.(我瞥了一眼他面容温和的妻子,心里清楚,要不是这个对派看得很紧、态度凶狠的男主人,我早就能吃上一块那肉馅派了。于是我暗自叹了口气,顺着他的意思演下去。)”和第六段“‘Of course I want work,’ I bluffed.( “我当然想找活干。”我唬弄道。)”可推测出,作者声称自己愿意工作是为了得到一些食物。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“There was a flicker of a smile in his wife’s eye(她妻子的眼中掠过一丝笑意。)”可推测出,男人的妻子认为作者的话好笑。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第七段“I have worked and been honest. I have made myself what I am. And you can do the same, if you work and are honest.(我一直勤恳做事、为人本分,如今的一切都是自己拼出来的。你只要肯干活、守本分,也能活成我这样。)”和倒数第二段““But if we all became like you,” I said, “there’d be nobody to toss bricks for you.”(“可要是我们所有人都变得和你一样,”我说道,“那可就没人来给你搬砖干活了。”)”和最后一段“As for him, he was horrified — but whether at the awful possibility that nobody would toss bricks for him or at my rudeness, I shall never know.(而他呢,惊得脸色煞白——至于他是怕真的没人来给他搬砖干活,还是气我出言无礼,我到现在也说不清。)”可推知,作者用男人自己的逻辑反驳他,最终赢得了争论。故选D。
C
Our Earth is located on the inner edge of a spiral (螺旋的) arm within the Milky Way, but this is not our permanent address. When most dinosaurs went extinct, our solar system was in a completely different arm! Our galaxy (星系) is in a state of constant evolution.
Thirteen billion years ago, the gas and dust particles (分子) that eventually became our Milky Way were moving quickly in every direction. Despite the wild motion of its parts, the galaxy as a whole was spinning about an axis (轴). While their individual motions were chaotic, the galaxy as a whole acquired all the particles and circled around a common axis. Meanwhile, frequent crashes slowed the particles, allowing gravity to pull them inward.
So, why is the Milky Way flat? The answer lies in the conservation of angular momentum (动量). In dense (密度大的) objects like stars, internal pressure and gravity create a sphere. But in a low-density, high-momentum system like a young galaxy, the spinning motion dominates. To conserve momentum, particles could not fall directly inward but were forced to orbit, gradually collapsing into a single, spinning discover billions of years.
The Milky Way’s spiral arms are not rigid structures, but dynamic squeezing waves. As these waves travel through the galaxy’s disc, they squeeze gas, starting the birth of bright young star groups that outline the arms. The galaxy’s spin then winds these waves into grand spirals. Our solar system, orbiting faster than the wave pattern, is currently diving deeper into our local arm — a journey through a single arm takes millions of years.
Recent observations even suggest spiral galaxies can host two or more crossing waves travelling at different speeds. The result would be that spiral arms last for tens or hundreds of millions of years before breaking apart and re-forming. When the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, our galaxy’s spirals may have looked entirely different than today. And in about 5 billion years, the Milky Way will start to combine with the Andromeda galaxy and disturb the conservation of angular momentum, thus creating an egg shape and giving rise to a new time in our galaxy’s history.
28. What was the initial state of the particles that formed the Milky Way?
A. Flying around randomly. B. Moving because of gravity.
C. Spinning around an axis rapidly. D. Crashing to gain momentum.
29. What is the primary reason given for the Milky Way's flat, disc-like shape?
A. The high density of the Milky Way. B. The need to maintain angular momentum.
C. The frequent crashes of gas and dust particles. D. The dominance of internal pressure and gravity.
30. What can be inferred about the Milky Way's spiral arms?
A. They are permanent features. B. They have new stars born there.
C. They are directly caused by the spin. D. They move faster than our solar system.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The evolution of the Milky Way. B. The crash between galaxies.
C. The formation of the solar system. D. The characteristics of spiral galaxies.

Upon observing the figure, one quickly sees it as a picture of a sorrowful young boy — a judgment formed without deliberate thought. In his work Thinking, Fast and Slow(2011), Daniel Kahneman describes the brain's cognitive (认知的) processes, naming two distinct systems: System 1 and System 2. The photograph is an example of System 1 thinking, characterized by its rapid, intuitive (直觉的), and largely unconscious nature.
Now, attempt to mentally compute 18×26 within 30 seconds, without external aids. Most individuals give up on this task, which is an example of System 2 thinking. This mode is slow, demanding, and requires conscious effort; pupils even widen during such hard work.
Consider another puzzle: a bat and a ball together cost $ 1.10. The bat costs $ 1.00 more than the ball. What is the ball's price? Many instinctively answer 10 cents, an intuitive yet incorrect response. The accurate answer is 5 cents.
While one might assume this mathematical problem engages System 2, the reality is that System 1 typically answers first to any situation. Upon encountering the bat-and-ball problem, System 1 readily supplies the intuitive answer. With the sense of completion it brings, System 2 often remains inactive.
Fundamentally, our cognitive machinery tends to save effort. From a biological and evolutionary standpoint, intense mental activity uses a lot of glucose (葡萄糖) resources.
Furthermore, while deeply focused on finding food, an individual might fail to see an approaching lion. Consequently, the brain frequently turns to the straightforward, automatic responses offered by System 1, with the more hard-working System 2 often agreeing to its suggestions.
This reliance on System 1 is generally helpful, enabling survival, processing vast information flows, and making the world understandable. You can take advantage of this tendency to make instinctive decisions to get people to do things. A request framed simply and intuitively will likely activate System 1 like appealing to people to donate by featuring a heartbreaking photo of a single starving child. Conversely, needing careful thought demands intentionally slowing the process to awake System 2 like investing in a retirement plan; otherwise, the automatic system wins, and its swift, effortless answer carries the day.
32. What does the photo of the sad boy serve as in the text?
A. An unreliable warning of intuition. B. An example of System 1 rapid judgment.
C. Impact of sad photos on effortful thought. D. Evidence of Daniel Kahneman's great insight.
33. What do the calculation 18×26 and the ball-and-bat question tell us?
A. System 1 often fails. B. Learning maths is hard.
C. System 2 involves hard work. D. Systems always work together.
34. How did System 1 contribute to our survival during the evolution?
A. It needs conscious effort for safety. B. It produces literally correct answers.
C. It consumes less glucose and energy. D. It gives quick reactions against danger.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The need for slow thinking. B. A direction for the further study.
C. Potential applications of the finding. D. Benefits of the two cognitive systems.
【答案】32. B 33. C 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了Daniel Kahneman提出的大脑两种认知系统的特点、运作方式、进化成因,以及这一研究发现的现实应用。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Upon observing the figure, one quickly sees it as a picture of a sorrowful young boy — a judgment formed without deliberate thought.(看到这幅画像时,人们会立刻觉得这是一个悲伤的小男孩——这是一种未经刻意思考就形成的判断。)”及“The photograph is an example of System 1 thinking, characterized by its rapid, intuitive, and largely unconscious nature.(这张照片是系统1思维的一个例子,其特点是快速、直觉性且很大程度上是无意识的。)” 可知,悲伤男孩的照片是系统 1 快速判断的例证。故选B。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Now, attempt to mentally compute 18×26 within 30 seconds, without external aids. Most individuals give up on this task, which is an example of System 2 thinking. This mode is slow, demanding, and requires conscious effort; pupils even widen during such hard work.(现在,试着在30秒内、不借助任何外部工具,用心算出18×26的结果。大多数人都会放弃这项任务,这正是系统2思维的一个典型例子。这种思维模式速度慢、耗费精力,而且需要有意识的努力;在进行这种高强度脑力活动时,人的瞳孔甚至会放大。)”及第三段“Consider another puzzle: a bat and a ball together cost $ 1.10. The bat costs $ 1.00 more than the ball. What is the ball's price? Many instinctively answer 10 cents, an intuitive yet incorrect response. The accurate answer is 5 cents.(再来思考另一个谜题:一个球棒和一个球总共花费1.10美元。球棒比球贵1.00美元。球的价格是多少?很多人会本能地回答10美分,这是一个凭直觉得出、但并不正确的答案。正确答案是5美分。)”可知,18×26 的计算和球棒球的问题都说明系统2需要付出脑力努力。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Furthermore, while deeply focused on finding food, an individual might fail to see an approaching lion. Consequently, the brain frequently turns to the straightforward, automatic responses offered by System 1, with the more hard-working System 2 often agreeing to its suggestions.(此外,当一个人全神贯注寻找食物时,可能会注意不到正在靠近的狮子。因此,大脑常常会采用系统1提供的直接、自动化的反应,而更为费力的系统2则往往会认同这些判断。)”可知,系统1能对危险做出快速反应,从而在进化中帮助人类生存。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“This reliance on System 1 is generally helpful, enabling survival, processing vast information flows, and making the world understandable. You can take advantage of this tendency to make instinctive decisions to get people to do things. A request framed simply and intuitively will likely activate System 1 like appealing to people to donate by featuring a heartbreaking photo of a single starving child. Conversely, needing careful thought demands intentionally slowing the process to awake System 2 like investing in a retirement plan; otherwise, the automatic system wins, and its swift, effortless answer carries the day.(这种对系统1的依赖通常是有益的,它使生存成为可能,处理大量信息流,并使世界变得易于理解。你可以利用这种倾向,做出本能的决定,去引导他人采取行动。一个表述简单、符合直觉的诉求可能会激活系统1,就像通过一张令人心碎的饥饿儿童照片来呼吁人们捐款一样。相反,需要仔细思考需要故意放慢唤醒系统2的过程,就像投资退休计划一样;否则,自动系统将获胜,其快速、轻松的答案将占上风)”可知,本段主要介绍了该研究发现的潜在应用。故选C。
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。
We’ve all heard that sitting too long is bad for you. ____36____ In other words, we’re not designed to sit so much. Sitting can reduce our exercise gains and cause butt (臀部) discomfort, and while it might not be “the new smoking”, excessive sitting can shorten your life.
Whether it’s bone or joint health, muscle mass or energy level, much of what we perceive as aging is heavily influenced by how much we sit. ____37____ Average Americans sit per day may be as long as nine and a half hours. Studies suggest women sit less than men do, but most agree we all sit more than previous generations did.
____38____ Prolonged sitting raises the risk of developing heart disease or stroke. And the longer you sit, the higher risks it raises, especially if you are sitting for more than 10 hours. Furthermore, your large leg muscles can stop activating after just 30 minutes of sitting, weakening and causing back or knee pain. ____39____ Over time, a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle can affect your ability to control blood sugar and break down fat, potentially leading to weight gain and Type2 diabetes. American workers today burn about 100 fewer calories per day than they did 50 years ago.
One way to lower the risk is to add 15 to 30 minutes of physical activity per day to your existing routine or go further, doubling the standard weekly exercise recommendations. If you can’t manage either, try adding small periods, spread throughout the day. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions of pointing and bending each foot, seated toe raises and marching in place. Or try a quick exercise snack. ____40____
A. The causes are various.
B. We’re not evolved to do it.
C. We spend a lot of time sitting.
D. The consequences can be serious.
E. Better do something than nothing.
F. Sitting also doesn’t burn much energy.
G. The more you sit, the more exercise you need.
【答案】36. B 37. C 38. D 39. F 40. E

【答案】
Embrace Fragmented Learning Wisely
In the digital age, fragmented learning is a double-edged sword, and I believe we should embrace it wisely rather than reject it entirely.
On one hand, it brings great convenience. We can make use of scattered time like bus rides to pick up new knowledge, which helps us learn more efficiently in a busy life. On the other hand, we must avoid its drawbacks. Fragmented information lacks systematicity, so we need to sort out what we learn and connect different pieces to form a complete knowledge system.
As long as we stay focused and organized, fragmented learning can be a powerful tool for self-improvement.

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。
Years ago, my husband lost his job, and worse still, I lost mine too. Struggling to support our two kids, he job hunted tirelessly and I stayed home making the most of every cent. It was hard to stay positive, but we did our best.
One day, I found the milk in the fridge was lukewarm (温热的), but we could not afford to call a repairman. Anxious, I looked for ways to earn money, even a little, maybe to fix the fridge.
Later, I had lunch with a former coworker, who said I’d be good at teaching computer classes. I was good at word processing software but had no teaching experience except in Sunday School. Doubt and fear consumed me. Then I remembered my mom’s words, “Can’t never could until he tried.” So I decided to give it a try.
I wasn’t sure where to start. Finally, I finished a plan. The first thing I did was check on the availability and the cost of a meeting room. After securing a room, I got local business addresses from the Chamber of Commerce, typed them into my computer to make labels, and designed a brochure advertising my class. I folded brochures, stuck on labels and stamps, and mailed them after praying outside the post office. We could barely afford these costs, and I was filled with self-doubt as I waited for responses.
On the third day, I got my first response — a check and two registrations. In two weeks, more checks and registrations came. I had 17 students. I then rented computers, but couldn’t afford delivery. My husband helped me carry and set them up before leaving.
The night before the first-class day, while my family slept, I stayed up late checking my notes. I went over every keystroke, breaking complex steps into simple ones. I practiced my explanations out loud, timing myself to be sure I wouldn’t run over. I prayed my passion would make up for my lack of experience.
注意:

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The next day, before class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked. My hands shook as I checked the rented computers again, fearing malfunctions. I kept replaying my practice in mind, worrying about forgetting steps or failing to answer questions. I even thought about giving up for a moment, but my mom’s words echoed in my head and stopped me. When students arrived, their friendliness and eagerness to learn calmed my nerves. I forced a smile, greeted them, took a deep breath, and got ready to start the class.
As the class ended, students’ positive words filled the room. Many thanked me for my clear explanations that simplified complex steps. One student said the class would help with her work, and another promised to recommend me. A few even asked about the time of the next class, which made me more confident. A surge of pride and joy swept over me — I knew my effort paid off. Self-doubt faded, and this small success gave my family a new chance. We could finally afford to fix the fridge and ease our tight budget.

There was one house in particular where I was turned down that evening. Through the porch windows I saw a man eating a big meat pie. I stood in the open door, and while he talked with me, he went on eating.
Without looking up, he snapped out. “I don’t believe you want to work.” I hadn’t mentioned work. I wanted to talk about “food”. In fact, I didn’t want to work. I wanted to take the westbound overland train that night.
“You wouldn’t work if you had a chance,” he bullied.
I glanced at his gentle-faced wife, and knew that but for this Cerberus I’d have a slice of that meat pie. So I sighed to myself and played his game.
“Of course I want work,” I bluffed (唬弄).
“All right,” he said. “Come to the corner of ________ and ________ streets” (I’ve forgotten the address) tomorrow morning. Beside that burned building, work tossing bricks.”
“All right, sir, I’ll be there.”
He returned to the pie. I waited. After a couple of minutes he looked up with an I-thought-you-were-gone expression on his face, and demanded:
“Well?”
“I…I am waiting for something to eat,” I said gently.
“I knew it! If I gave you something to eat now, I’d never see you again. Look at me. I owe no man. I have never asked anyone for food. I have always earned my food. You are idle and lazy. I can see it in your face. I have worked and been honest. I have made myself what I am. And you can do the same, if you work and are honest.”
“Like you?” I asked.
“Yes, like me.”
“All of us?”
“Yes, all of you.”
“But if we all became like you,” I said, “there’d be nobody to toss bricks for you.”
There was a flicker of a smile in his wife’s eye. As for him, he was horrified — but whether at the awful possibility that nobody would toss bricks for him or at my rudeness, I shall never know.
24. What does the underlined word “Cerberus” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The westbound overland train. B. The narrator’s hungry stomach.
C. The man guarding the pie fiercely. D. The woman listening to the talk quietly.
25. Why did the narrator finally claim that he was willing to work?
A. To start a game. B. To regain respect.
C. To earn a train ticket. D. To get some food.
26. How did the woman respond to the narrator’s words?
A. Offended. B. Frightened. C. Embarrassed. D. Amused.
27. How does the narrator finally win the argument?
A. By staying silent. B. By promising to work hard.
C. By appealing to the man’s wife. D. By using the man’s own logic against him.

Our Earth is located on the inner edge of a spiral (螺旋的) arm within the Milky Way, but this is not our permanent address. When most dinosaurs went extinct, our solar system was in a completely different arm! Our galaxy (星系) is in a state of constant evolution.
Thirteen billion years ago, the gas and dust particles (分子) that eventually became our Milky Way were moving quickly in every direction. Despite the wild motion of its parts, the galaxy as a whole was spinning about an axis (轴). While their individual motions were chaotic, the galaxy as a whole acquired all the particles and circled around a common axis. Meanwhile, frequent crashes slowed the particles, allowing gravity to pull them inward.
So, why is the Milky Way flat? The answer lies in the conservation of angular momentum (动量). In dense (密度大的) objects like stars, internal pressure and gravity create a sphere. But in a low-density, high-momentum system like a young galaxy, the spinning motion dominates. To conserve momentum, particles could not fall directly inward but were forced to orbit, gradually collapsing into a single, spinning discover billions of years.
The Milky Way’s spiral arms are not rigid structures, but dynamic squeezing waves. As these waves travel through the galaxy’s disc, they squeeze gas, starting the birth of bright young star groups that outline the arms. The galaxy’s spin then winds these waves into grand spirals. Our solar system, orbiting faster than the wave pattern, is currently diving deeper into our local arm — a journey through a single arm takes millions of years.
Recent observations even suggest spiral galaxies can host two or more crossing waves travelling at different speeds. The result would be that spiral arms last for tens or hundreds of millions of years before breaking apart and re-forming. When the Earth formed 4.5 billion years ago, our galaxy’s spirals may have looked entirely different than today. And in about 5 billion years, the Milky Way will start to combine with the Andromeda galaxy and disturb the conservation of angular momentum, thus creating an egg shape and giving rise to a new time in our galaxy’s history.
28. What was the initial state of the particles that formed the Milky Way?
A. Flying around randomly. B. Moving because of gravity.
C. Spinning around an axis rapidly. D. Crashing to gain momentum.
29. What is the primary reason given for the Milky Way's flat, disc-like shape?
A. The high density of the Milky Way. B. The need to maintain angular momentum.
C. The frequent crashes of gas and dust particles. D. The dominance of internal pressure and gravity.
30. What can be inferred about the Milky Way's spiral arms?
A. They are permanent features. B. They have new stars born there.
C. They are directly caused by the spin. D. They move faster than our solar system.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The evolution of the Milky Way. B. The crash between galaxies.
C. The formation of the solar system. D. The characteristics of spiral galaxies.

Upon observing the figure, one quickly sees it as a picture of a sorrowful young boy — a judgment formed without deliberate thought. In his work Thinking, Fast and Slow(2011), Daniel Kahneman describes the brain's cognitive (认知的) processes, naming two distinct systems: System 1 and System 2. The photograph is an example of System 1 thinking, characterized by its rapid, intuitive (直觉的), and largely unconscious nature.
Now, attempt to mentally compute 18×26 within 30 seconds, without external aids. Most individuals give up on this task, which is an example of System 2 thinking. This mode is slow, demanding, and requires conscious effort; pupils even widen during such hard work.
Consider another puzzle: a bat and a ball together cost $ 1.10. The bat costs $ 1.00 more than the ball. What is the ball's price? Many instinctively answer 10 cents, an intuitive yet incorrect response. The accurate answer is 5 cents.
While one might assume this mathematical problem engages System 2, the reality is that System 1 typically answers first to any situation. Upon encountering the bat-and-ball problem, System 1 readily supplies the intuitive answer. With the sense of completion it brings, System 2 often remains inactive.
Fundamentally, our cognitive machinery tends to save effort. From a biological and evolutionary standpoint, intense mental activity uses a lot of glucose (葡萄糖) resources.
Furthermore, while deeply focused on finding food, an individual might fail to see an approaching lion. Consequently, the brain frequently turns to the straightforward, automatic responses offered by System 1, with the more hard-working System 2 often agreeing to its suggestions.
This reliance on System 1 is generally helpful, enabling survival, processing vast information flows, and making the world understandable. You can take advantage of this tendency to make instinctive decisions to get people to do things. A request framed simply and intuitively will likely activate System 1 like appealing to people to donate by featuring a heartbreaking photo of a single starving child. Conversely, needing careful thought demands intentionally slowing the process to awake System 2 like investing in a retirement plan; otherwise, the automatic system wins, and its swift, effortless answer carries the day.
32. What does the photo of the sad boy serve as in the text?
A. An unreliable warning of intuition. B. An example of System 1 rapid judgment.
C. Impact of sad photos on effortful thought. D. Evidence of Daniel Kahneman's great insight.
33. What do the calculation 18×26 and the ball-and-bat question tell us?
A. System 1 often fails. B. Learning maths is hard.
C. System 2 involves hard work. D. Systems always work together.
34. How did System 1 contribute to our survival during the evolution?
A. It needs conscious effort for safety. B. It produces literally correct answers.
C. It consumes less glucose and energy. D. It gives quick reactions against danger.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The need for slow thinking. B. A direction for the further study.
C. Potential applications of the finding. D. Benefits of the two cognitive systems.

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。
We’ve all heard that sitting too long is bad for you. ____36____ In other words, we’re not designed to sit so much. Sitting can reduce our exercise gains and cause butt (臀部) discomfort, and while it might not be “the new smoking”, excessive sitting can shorten your life.
Whether it’s bone or joint health, muscle mass or energy level, much of what we perceive as aging is heavily influenced by how much we sit. ____37____ Average Americans sit per day may be as long as nine and a half hours. Studies suggest women sit less than men do, but most agree we all sit more than previous generations did.
____38____ Prolonged sitting raises the risk of developing heart disease or stroke. And the longer you sit, the higher risks it raises, especially if you are sitting for more than 10 hours. Furthermore, your large leg muscles can stop activating after just 30 minutes of sitting, weakening and causing back or knee pain. ____39____ Over time, a sedentary (久坐的) lifestyle can affect your ability to control blood sugar and break down fat, potentially leading to weight gain and Type2 diabetes. American workers today burn about 100 fewer calories per day than they did 50 years ago.
One way to lower the risk is to add 15 to 30 minutes of physical activity per day to your existing routine or go further, doubling the standard weekly exercise recommendations. If you can’t manage either, try adding small periods, spread throughout the day. Perform 10 to 15 repetitions of pointing and bending each foot, seated toe raises and marching in place. Or try a quick exercise snack. ____40____
A. The causes are various.
B. We’re not evolved to do it.
C. We spend a lot of time sitting.
D. The consequences can be serious.
E. Better do something than nothing.
F. Sitting also doesn’t burn much energy.
G. The more you sit, the more exercise you need.

As a talkative tour guide, I’ve always struggled with listening. I take notes everywhere — museums, lectures, tours — collecting facts to ____41____ later. So when I cruised (游轮) to Greenland, I arrived with my usual ____42____ for collecting stories, completely unprepared for the lesson I would receive on ____43____.
In Nuuk, I met Tina, an Inuit culturalist. She spoke with purpose and compassion, intentionally but not ____44____. Through Tina, I learned that Inuit culture doesn’t just ____45____ silence — it embraces it. She recalled her large family sitting together for hours, wordlessly enjoying each other’s ____46____, or summers spent listening to birds and creeks without feeling the need to ____47____.
Until then, I had been constantly ____48____ facts and talking to everyone I met. ____49____ my reputation as a chatterbox. I asked Tina endless questions, which seemed to ____50____ her patience. For the first time, I truly listened — not just to words, but to the silence in between. In the following days on the cruise, I began to ____51____ invitations to converse. Sometimes a smile and nod would work as a (n) ____52____ response.
Later, while leading my own tours, I still sometimes ____53____ conversations. But this is when I will stop and ask myself, “What would Tina do?” Though I still talk too much, the Greenland experience did ____54____ how I engage with the world, thanks to Tina and the ____55____ silence she taught me to treasure, and the new-found value of listening.

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。
Years ago, my husband lost his job, and worse still, I lost mine too. Struggling to support our two kids, he job hunted tirelessly and I stayed home making the most of every cent. It was hard to stay positive, but we did our best.
One day, I found the milk in the fridge was lukewarm (温热的), but we could not afford to call a repairman. Anxious, I looked for ways to earn money, even a little, maybe to fix the fridge.
Later, I had lunch with a former coworker, who said I’d be good at teaching computer classes. I was good at word processing software but had no teaching experience except in Sunday School. Doubt and fear consumed me. Then I remembered my mom’s words, “Can’t never could until he tried.” So I decided to give it a try.
I wasn’t sure where to start. Finally, I finished a plan. The first thing I did was check on the availability and the cost of a meeting room. After securing a room, I got local business addresses from the Chamber of Commerce, typed them into my computer to make labels, and designed a brochure advertising my class. I folded brochures, stuck on labels and stamps, and mailed them after praying outside the post office. We could barely afford these costs, and I was filled with self-doubt as I waited for responses.
On the third day, I got my first response — a check and two registrations. In two weeks, more checks and registrations came. I had 17 students. I then rented computers, but couldn’t afford delivery. My husband helped me carry and set them up before leaving.
The night before the first-class day, while my family slept, I stayed up late checking my notes. I went over every keystroke, breaking complex steps into simple ones. I practiced my explanations out loud, timing myself to be sure I wouldn’t run over. I prayed my passion would make up for my lack of experience.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150个左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
The next day, before class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked.

As the class ended, students’ positive words filled the room.
