A
Deforestation and the EU’s Response
Forests play an important role on Earth. They cover about 31% of the world’s land area and are home to most land animals and plants. However, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, about 420 million hectares(公顷)of forest were lost worldwide between 1990 and 2020. As a major consumer of agricultural products, the European Union(EU)is closely connected to global deforestation.
Causes
Agriculture is the biggest driver in most parts of the world. Turning forests into farmland causes at least 50% of global deforestation.
Urban development, including the building of houses and roads, accounts for a smaller part of forest loss. It represents slightly more than 6% of global deforestation, but in Europe it is the primary cause.
Climate change is both a cause and a result of deforestation. Extreme events damage forests. At the same time, forest loss makes climate problems worse.
The EU’s consumption also affects forests outside Europe and is responsible for about 10% of global deforestation. The chart below shows the main products imported by the EU from deforested land.
Measures
In July 2021, the EU introduced a forestry strategy to improve forest quality and strengthen forests’ role as carbon sinks. In April 2023, the EU approved new rules requiring companies to ensure that products sold on the EU market are not linked to deforestation.
Although the rules were adopted in 2023, their application was delayed to allow businesses time to prepare. A phased timetable was later introduced: large companies are required to comply(遵守)from December 2026, while smaller companies are given additional time until June 2027. Companies that fail to meet the requirements may face fines of up to 4% of their annual income in the EU.
1. What is the main cause of deforestation in Europe?
A. Urban development. B. Climate change.
C. Agricultural expansion. D. Forest product consumption.
2. What is the percentage of the top two agricultural products imported from deforested land?
A. 32. 8%. B. 34%. C. 66. 8%. D. 82. 9%.
3. Why did the EU put off the application of its new deforestation rules?
A. To improve forest quality. B. To prevent economic losses.
C. To give companies time to adjust. D. To promote deforestation-free products.

My love for computers began at five when I watched my uncle play Heroes of Might and Magic Ⅲ. The fantasy world and armies engaged me instantly. Soon, I was wisely commanding soldiers in HeroesⅢ, systematically building bases in StarCraft, and ambitiously founding civilizations in Age of Empires. A turning point came when my mom bought our first computer with Windows 98. While most kids used the friendlier Windows XP, figuring out Windows 98’s problems sharpened my skills early on.
Before I knew it, I became the neighborhood’s go-to for computer help — installing (安装) games, fixing crashes, setting up LAN parties, and arranging port forwarding for online gaming. Unknowingly, I was enhancing IT support skills long before I understood tech as a career. In high school, online forums (论坛) about game “modifications” awakened my curiosity, leading me to learn game protection unlocking.
Post-high school, I was set on Computer Engineering, but my Asian family pushed for a “respectable” — medicine. I gave in a little, spending two years in medicine before switching to Economics to please everyone. Four years of economics didn’t make me a Wall Street expert, but concepts like opportunity cost and comparative advantage made it clear that I was in the wrong field. With IT growing fast and software engineers in high demand, according to economic logic, software engineering offered higher yields given my talent.
I then lived a double life — an economics student by day, and a self-taught programmer by night, studying hard at courses and building side projects. Today, I’m a full qualified software engineer, and it feels like coming home. That wide-eyed kid from Heroes III finally found his place, even with a winding journey. Every line of code reflects my path: curiosity from gaming, problem-solving from neighborhood IT help, and analytical thinking from economics. Passion always finds a way no matter how much family urges “reason”.
4. How did online games impact the author?
A. He became a professional gamer. B. His strategic thinking was developed.
C. He grasped Windows XP. D. His ambition took shape.
5. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A. Goals serve as inspirations. B. Curiosity defeats inner fear.
C. Dreams begin with planning. D. Hands-on practice helps a lot.
6. Why does the author mention the relevant economic concepts?
A. To combine economics with IT.
B. To show IT industry’s potential.
C. To prove the reasonableness of his career shift.
D. To demonstrate his limited mastery of economic logic.
7. What does the author think of his winding journey?
A. It let him master various skills. B. It made him famous in his field.
C. It taught him to be open-minded. D. It helped him build social bonds.
C
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag (装置), addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic (水生的) species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations.
Biologists have long depended on radio and satellite tags, which revolutionized animal behavior research. Yet underwater tracking of minute species like the endangered delta smelt, a silvery fish about 2.5 inches long, is seriously restricted. Existing tags are too burdensome for their size and need large batteries to make up for the loss of signals in water — a medium that weakens both radio and high-frequency sound waves.
Directed by a critical scientific principle that tags should not exceed 2% of an animal’s body mass, PNNL targeted a weight of merely 0.002 ounces for smelt — ten times lighter than a pencil eraser and a quarter the weight of the lightest commercial alternative.
PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days — sufficient to track full river migration cycles — and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away.
Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems — and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes — key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss.
Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies. However, progress in standards for underwater sound sensors gives a way to create corresponding monitoring systems.
8. What does “The gap” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Few aquatic species. B. Little study on food webs.
C. Lack of conservation rules. D. No proper underwater trackers.
9. What’s the distinct characteristic of the micro-batteries in PNNL’s new technology?
A. Long-lasting. B. Solar-powered. C. Water-resistant. D. Cost-effective.
10. What does the author highlight in paragraph 5?
A. What species the tag targets. B. How the tag can contribute.
C. Why aquatic species are conserved. D. How tiny species go extinct.
11. What challenge are the researchers facing concerning the new tag at present?
A. Battery safety risks. B. Signal reception mismatch.
C. Unstable radio signals. D. Low positioning accuracy.
D
Earth’s biggest problem, according to Douglas Adams, is quite simple: the species of clever ape (猿) that thinks it runs the joint is mostly unhappy most of the time. Computer scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer.
Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind” — the reality in which everyone, everywhere, can communicate with everyone else with ease. Studies have shown how dominant email has become in ordinary office life. The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的).
All of this might be bearable but for one problem: the mismatch between modern electronic messaging and our own information-processing capacity. Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox. We’re wired to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly.
Despite his book’s title, Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done.
Handling email when it’s out of control is like being pecked (啄) by a flock of geese. But changing this won’t be easy. Our need for focused thinking conflicts with the Dopamine Economy — something designed to keep us unable to resist constant messages. Still, Newport thinks regaining control of our time might be the key to being happier at work.
12. What phenomenon does Newport point out in his book?
A. Office workers fail to handle daily emails.
B. People can contact each other more easily.
C. Convenience of modern life comes at a cost.
D. Email overload affects efficiency and mood.
13. How does the author develop paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples.
B. By presenting the history.
C. By analyzing the cause.
D. By comparing preferences.
14. What does Newport try to illustrate by mentioning the practices of some companies?
A. The importance of autonomy at work. B. The necessity to cut working hours.
C. The benefit of technological advances. D. The need to follow economic trend.
15. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Message Overflow B. Email Slavery
C. Message Addiction D. Email Craze
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。
It’s a familiar routine: You send somebody an invitation-to a party, a lunch, a meeting and you wait for the reply. Yes or no. Or maybe.
____16____ In some cases, invitees aren’t sure whether they can attend. In other cases, they aren’t sure whether they want to attend. Invitees fail to see how much inviters preferred a “no” to a “maybe”. ____17____
Why does this disconnect occur? One likely reason is what psychologists call “motivated reasoning”. Motivated reasoning occurs when people bias their thinking to arrive at a conclusion that matches their own desires. For invitees, a “maybe” feels like a better response in the present. ____18____ It benefits them, so they convince themselves that it is also what the inviter wants to hear.
Perhaps the biggest piece of advice is not to assume that someone would prefer for you to say “maybe” rather than “no”. ____19____ Is a conference call with a handful of “maybes” worth holding, or should it be rescheduled? By contrast, when you give a direct “no”, the inviter can move forward with a firm plan, knowing exactly what to expect. Another piece of advice is to put yourself in the shoes of the inviter before deciding how to respond. Taking the inviter’s perspective makes invitees more likely to think that a “no” is preferred to a “maybe”. ____20____
In the event that you do tell a person “maybe”, it is a good idea to give a definite answer as soon as possible. Whether your answer ends up being “no” or “yes”, having an answer allows the person to carry on with a plan.
A. It shows their ignorance of inviters’ plans.
B. It allows them to keep their options open.
C. Why do people answer invitations that way?
D. How can inviters realize they are really wrong?
E. “Maybe” often raises more questions than answers.
F. This simple exercise helps prevent motivated reasoning.
G. They don’t even realize how rude a “maybe” feels to the inviter.
第三部分:语言运用 (共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中、选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Like most teenagers growing up in the digital age, I relied on my phone for photos — quick snaps (快照) that were ____21____ but rarely revisited. My profile on Instagram was a polished collection of such photos intended to ____22____ my peers.
The transition from sharing images to ____23____ memories for myself wasn’t immediate. It began with a simple ____24____: flipping (翻) through family photo albums. I was attracted by the images from my family’s ____25____. They weren’t polished, but they held stories that words often couldn’t ____26____ — of birthdays, ceremonies and family portraits. In those photographs, I saw ____27____. I realized that every image was a piece of something ____28____: a history that had been passed down.
It was this ____29____ that led me to pick up my film camera. With just 36 exposures per roll, each photo required ____30____, a slowing down to see the world around me. I now take photos of the things that matter most: friends’ weddings, holidays and small moments of joy. If a picture didn’t turn out as I had hoped, it didn’t matter. The ____31____ became part of the story. They weren’t meant for ____32____ or comments — they were meant for me, for family and friends.
There’s a sense of ____33____ when I finally open an envelope of developed prints. I’m ____34____ back to those moments. And in that sense, my ____35____ to film photography feels like a desire to regain the permanence and closeness that comes with holding a memory in your hands.
21. A. copied B. printed C. shared D. downloaded
22. A. change B. impress C. support D. instruct
23. A. capturing B. recalling C. organizing D. sharpening
24. A. fact B. act C. task D. rule
25. A. duty B. business C. past D. goal
26. A. prove B. convey C. mask D. continue
27. A. hope B. trust C. ambition D. connection
28. A. larger B. stranger C. simpler D. fresher
29. A. appreciation B. observation C. realization D. prediction
30. A. improvement B. intention C. background D. teamwork
31. A. colors B. inconveniences C. patterns D. imperfections
32. A. likes B. jokes C. deals D. games
33. A. safety B. emptiness C. relief D. rediscovery
34. A. transported B. forced C. withdrawn D. kicked

On Friday evening, I couldn’t hold back my news. “My teacher wants us to make a collage (拼贴画) from old cloth for a class project,” I announced at dinner. “It’s due next Monday.” Mom didn’t look up from her plate. “We’ll see,” she said quietly. My heart sank. “What does ‘we’ll see’ mean?” I thought. “If I don’t finish this project, I’ll fail the assignment.” I pushed my food around my plate, my excitement gone. Later, I approached Dad carefully. “We need to find some old fabric…” I said. He was reading the newspaper. “Hmm” was all he said, not even looking at me. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. “Maybe my schoolwork isn’t important to them,” I worried.
Throughout Saturday, I waited, hoping to hear the sound of scissors or the rustle of cloth. But nothing happened. Did they forget? I wondered, my stomach tight with worry.
By Sunday afternoon I was fighting back tears. The deadline felt like a dark cloud over me. In our home, asking twice often led to trouble. I watched my parents move around the house, wishing one of them would say something — anything — about my project. But they were busy with their own tasks. I felt invisible and quite alone. The hope I had felt on Friday was now completely gone.
Just before dinner, Dad walked into my room. “Come with me,” he said, his voice gentle. I followed him to the living room, confused. Then I stopped, surprised. On the big table lay pieces of colorful cloth. I saw the blue pattern from my old baby blanket, a soft red piece from Mom’s favorite worn- out shirt, and even some rough brown fabric from Grandpa’s gardening apron (围裙), each tied to our past memory.
“I’ve been saving these,” Dad said, a small smile on his face. Mom walked in and said, “Let’s get to work.” As I saw her holding a box of buttons and thread and a pair of scissors, my worry began to melt away, replaced with a heart full of joy. “Thank you,” I whispered. Dad and Mom patted my shoulders gently, then we worked together to turn the cloth into something meaningful.
注意:
1. 续写词数应150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
For the next two hours the living room became our workshop.

Deforestation and the EU’s Response
Forests play an important role on Earth. They cover about 31% of the world’s land area and are home to most land animals and plants. However, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, about 420 million hectares(公顷)of forest were lost worldwide between 1990 and 2020. As a major consumer of agricultural products, the European Union(EU)is closely connected to global deforestation.
Causes
Agriculture is the biggest driver in most parts of the world. Turning forests into farmland causes at least 50% of global deforestation.
Urban development, including the building of houses and roads, accounts for a smaller part of forest loss. It represents slightly more than 6% of global deforestation, but in Europe it is the primary cause.
Climate change is both a cause and a result of deforestation. Extreme events damage forests. At the same time, forest loss makes climate problems worse.
The EU’s consumption also affects forests outside Europe and is responsible for about 10% of global deforestation. The chart below shows the main products imported by the EU from deforested land.

In July 2021, the EU introduced a forestry strategy to improve forest quality and strengthen forests’ role as carbon sinks. In April 2023, the EU approved new rules requiring companies to ensure that products sold on the EU market are not linked to deforestation.
Although the rules were adopted in 2023, their application was delayed to allow businesses time to prepare. A phased timetable was later introduced: large companies are required to comply(遵守)from December 2026, while smaller companies are given additional time until June 2027. Companies that fail to meet the requirements may face fines of up to 4% of their annual income in the EU.
1. What is the main cause of deforestation in Europe?
A. Urban development. B. Climate change.
C. Agricultural expansion. D. Forest product consumption.
2. What is the percentage of the top two agricultural products imported from deforested land?
A. 32. 8%. B. 34%. C. 66. 8%. D. 82. 9%.
3. Why did the EU put off the application of its new deforestation rules?
A. To improve forest quality. B. To prevent economic losses.
C. To give companies time to adjust. D. To promote deforestation-free products.

My love for computers began at five when I watched my uncle play Heroes of Might and Magic Ⅲ. The fantasy world and armies engaged me instantly. Soon, I was wisely commanding soldiers in HeroesⅢ, systematically building bases in StarCraft, and ambitiously founding civilizations in Age of Empires. A turning point came when my mom bought our first computer with Windows 98. While most kids used the friendlier Windows XP, figuring out Windows 98’s problems sharpened my skills early on.
Before I knew it, I became the neighborhood’s go-to for computer help — installing (安装) games, fixing crashes, setting up LAN parties, and arranging port forwarding for online gaming. Unknowingly, I was enhancing IT support skills long before I understood tech as a career. In high school, online forums (论坛) about game “modifications” awakened my curiosity, leading me to learn game protection unlocking.
Post-high school, I was set on Computer Engineering, but my Asian family pushed for a “respectable” — medicine. I gave in a little, spending two years in medicine before switching to Economics to please everyone. Four years of economics didn’t make me a Wall Street expert, but concepts like opportunity cost and comparative advantage made it clear that I was in the wrong field. With IT growing fast and software engineers in high demand, according to economic logic, software engineering offered higher yields given my talent.
I then lived a double life — an economics student by day, and a self-taught programmer by night, studying hard at courses and building side projects. Today, I’m a full qualified software engineer, and it feels like coming home. That wide-eyed kid from Heroes III finally found his place, even with a winding journey. Every line of code reflects my path: curiosity from gaming, problem-solving from neighborhood IT help, and analytical thinking from economics. Passion always finds a way no matter how much family urges “reason”.
4. How did online games impact the author?
A. He became a professional gamer. B. His strategic thinking was developed.
C. He grasped Windows XP. D. His ambition took shape.
5. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?
A. Goals serve as inspirations. B. Curiosity defeats inner fear.
C. Dreams begin with planning. D. Hands-on practice helps a lot.
6. Why does the author mention the relevant economic concepts?
A. To combine economics with IT.
B. To show IT industry’s potential.
C. To prove the reasonableness of his career shift.
D. To demonstrate his limited mastery of economic logic.
7. What does the author think of his winding journey?
A. It let him master various skills. B. It made him famous in his field.
C. It taught him to be open-minded. D. It helped him build social bonds.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag (装置), addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic (水生的) species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations.
Biologists have long depended on radio and satellite tags, which revolutionized animal behavior research. Yet underwater tracking of minute species like the endangered delta smelt, a silvery fish about 2.5 inches long, is seriously restricted. Existing tags are too burdensome for their size and need large batteries to make up for the loss of signals in water — a medium that weakens both radio and high-frequency sound waves.
Directed by a critical scientific principle that tags should not exceed 2% of an animal’s body mass, PNNL targeted a weight of merely 0.002 ounces for smelt — ten times lighter than a pencil eraser and a quarter the weight of the lightest commercial alternative.
PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days — sufficient to track full river migration cycles — and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away.
Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems — and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes — key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss.
Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies. However, progress in standards for underwater sound sensors gives a way to create corresponding monitoring systems.
8. What does “The gap” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Few aquatic species. B. Little study on food webs.
C. Lack of conservation rules. D. No proper underwater trackers.
9. What’s the distinct characteristic of the micro-batteries in PNNL’s new technology?
A. Long-lasting. B. Solar-powered. C. Water-resistant. D. Cost-effective.
10. What does the author highlight in paragraph 5?
A. What species the tag targets. B. How the tag can contribute.
C. Why aquatic species are conserved. D. How tiny species go extinct.
11. What challenge are the researchers facing concerning the new tag at present?
A. Battery safety risks. B. Signal reception mismatch.
C. Unstable radio signals. D. Low positioning accuracy.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B

词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) have developed a rice-sized underwater tracking tag (装置), addressing a longstanding gap in studying small aquatic (水生的) species. The gap has blocked conservation efforts for decades, as tiny creatures often form the base of aquatic food webs but remain understudied due to technological limitations.(美国能源部太平洋西北国家实验室(PNNL)的研究人员开发了一种米粒大小的水下追踪标签,解决了长期以来小型水生物种研究中的一个空白。几十年来,这一空白阻碍了保护工作的开展,因为这些微小生物往往构成水生食物网的基础,但由于技术限制,对它们的研究仍然不足)”可知,前文提到研发的新追踪标签解决了研究小型水生物种的空白,后文又说明该空白因技术限制导致对小型生物研究不足,由此可推断The gap指的是“缺乏合适的水下追踪装置”。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“PNNL’s new technology combines two key things: micro-batteries that hold vast quantities of electric power and better-designed signal senders. With this, the tag can work for about 40 days — sufficient to track full river migration cycles — and its signal can be picked up from hundreds of meters away.(PNNL的这项新技术结合了两个关键部分:能储存大量电力的微型电池和设计更精良的信号发射器。有了这个,该标签可以工作大约40天——足以追踪完整的河流迁徙周期——并且其信号在数百米外就能被接收到)”可知,微型电池能储存大量电力,使得标签可工作约40天,具备持久耐用的特点。故选A项。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中的“Scientists are already using this tag to study the young American shad, an endangered species threatened by dam construction, with plans to test it on delta smelt by next year. This tag will unlock insights into the small species that sustain entire ecosystems — and finally answer urgent questions about where they lay their eggs and migration routes — key to restoring their population amid pollution and habitat loss.(科学家们已经在使用这种标签研究年轻的美国鲥鱼,这是一种受到大坝建设威胁的濒危物种,并计划在明年将其用于三角洲胡瓜鱼的测试。这种标签将帮助人们深入了解维系整个生态系统的小型物种——并最终解答关于它们的产卵地和迁徙路线的迫切问题——这是在污染和栖息地丧失的情况下恢复其种群数量的关键)”可知,该段重点强调了这种新标签在研究濒危物种、了解生态系统维系物种、解答物种生存关键问题以及恢复物种数量等方面的作用,即突出了该标签的贡献。故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Nevertheless, certain issues remain unresolved. Small tags send signals at a higher frequency, but most of the current tools that receive these signals are made for bigger tags that use lower frequencies.(然而,某些问题仍未解决。小型标签以更高的频率发送信号,但目前大多数接收这些信号的工具是为使用更低频率的大型标签设计的)”可知,目前研究人员面临的挑战是小型标签的信号频率与现有接收工具的频率不匹配,即信号接收不匹配。故选B项。

Earth’s biggest problem, according to Douglas Adams, is quite simple: the species of clever ape (猿) that thinks it runs the joint is mostly unhappy most of the time. Computer scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer.
Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind” — the reality in which everyone, everywhere, can communicate with everyone else with ease. Studies have shown how dominant email has become in ordinary office life. The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的).
All of this might be bearable but for one problem: the mismatch between modern electronic messaging and our own information-processing capacity. Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox. We’re wired to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly.
Despite his book’s title Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done.
Handling email when it’s out of control is like being pecked (啄) by a flock of geese. But changing this won’t be easy. Our need for focused thinking conflicts with the Dopamine Economy — something designed to keep us unable to resist constant messages. Still, Newport thinks regaining control of our time might be the key to being happier at work.
12. What phenomenon does Newport point out in his book?
A. Office workers fail to handle daily emails.
B. People can contact each other more easily.
C. Convenience of modern life comes at a cost.
D. Email overload affects efficiency and mood.
13. How does the author develop paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples.
B. By presenting the history.
C. By analyzing the cause.
D. By comparing preferences.
14. What does Newport try to illustrate by mentioning the practices of some companies?
A. The importance of autonomy at work. B. The necessity to cut working hours.
C. The benefit of technological advances. D. The need to follow economic trend.
15. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Message Overflow B. Email Slavery
C. Message Addiction D. Email Craze
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】

The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done. (尽管书名如此,纽波特并非反对所有电子信息传递。让他绝望的是我们使用电子邮件的方式。在上班族们由衷认同的同时,纽波特提出了一些解决方案。一家德国公司设立了“无邮件日”,尽管缩短了工作时间,效率却提高了。其目的是让每个人更从容地处理工作,而不是匆忙行事。一些公司使用一款名为Trello的应用程序,让员工可以获取必要的数据,并决定何时投入工作、完成任务)”可知,纽波特提及部分公司的做法(无邮件日、使用Trello应用),是为了说明这些方案能让员工自主决定工作节奏,体现了工作自主性的重要性。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Computer scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer.(计算机科学家卡尔·纽波特(Cal Newport)现在将电子邮件添加到生活烦恼的列表中。在他的《没有电子邮件的世界》一书中,他认为这个曾经辉煌的发明让我们受苦。)”、第二段中“Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind”(纽波特说,我们已经成为电子邮件的奴隶,陷入了“过度活跃的蜂群思维”。)”并结合全文内容可知,文章围绕纽波特的观点展开,核心是电子邮件让人们陷入过度活跃的群体思维,成为邮件的奴隶,影响效率和情绪,并介绍了相关解决办法。B项“邮件奴役”精准概括了文章核心主旨,贴合原文中“slaves to email”的表述,适合作为本文最佳标题。故选B项。
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。
It’s a familiar routine: You send somebody an invitation-to a party, a lunch, a meeting and you wait for the reply. Yes or no. Or maybe.
____16____ In some cases, invitees aren’t sure whether they can attend. In other cases, they aren’t sure whether they want to attend. Invitees fail to see how much inviters preferred a “no” to a “maybe”. ____17____
Why does this disconnect occur? One likely reason is what psychologists call “motivated reasoning”. Motivated reasoning occurs when people bias their thinking to arrive at a conclusion that matches their own desires. For invitees, a “maybe” feels like a better response in the present. ____18____ It benefits them, so they convince themselves that it is also what the inviter wants to hear.
Perhaps the biggest piece of advice is not to assume that someone would prefer for you to say “maybe” rather than “no”. ____19____ Is a conference call with a handful of “maybes” worth holding, or should it be rescheduled? By contrast, when you give a direct “no”, the inviter can move forward with a firm plan, knowing exactly what to expect. Another piece of advice is to put yourself in the shoes of the inviter before deciding how to respond. Taking the inviter’s perspective makes invitees more likely to think that a “no” is preferred to a “maybe”. ____20____
In the event that you do tell a person “maybe”, it is a good idea to give a definite answer as soon as possible. Whether your answer ends up being “no” or “yes”, having an answer allows the person to carry on with a plan.
A. It shows their ignorance of inviters’ plans.
B. It allows them to keep their options open.
C. Why do people answer invitations that way?
D. How can inviters realize they are really wrong?
E. “Maybe” often raises more questions than answers.
F. This simple exercise helps prevent motivated reasoning.
G. They don’t even realize how rude a “maybe” feels to the inviter.
【答案】16. C 17. G 18. B 19. E 20. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人们回复邀请时常用“也许”的现象,分析其背后的心理原因,并给出更合适的回复建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“It’s a familiar routine: You send somebody an invitation-to a party, a lunch, a meeting and you wait for the reply. Yes or no. Or maybe.(这是一个熟悉的流程:你向某人发送邀请——参加派对、午餐、会议,然后等待回复。是或否。或者也许)”以及下文“In some cases, invitees aren’t sure whether they can attend. In other cases, they aren’t sure whether they want to attend.(在某些情况下,受邀者不确定自己是否能参加。在其他情况下,他们不确定自己是否想参加)”可知,此处应衔接上文的“也许”这一回复,提出疑问引出下文对原因的分析,C选项“Why do people answer invitations that way?(人们为什么会那样回复邀请呢?)”中的that way指代上文的Yes or no. Or maybe,以疑问引出下文内容,符合语境。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Invitees fail to see how much inviters preferred a “no” to a “maybe”.(受邀者没有意识到,邀请者更希望得到一个“不”而不是“也许”)”可知,此处应进一步说明受邀者对“也许”这一回复的认知不足,G选项“They don’t even realize how rude a “maybe” feels to the inviter.(他们甚至没有意识到“也许”对邀请者来说感觉有多无礼)”中的They指代上文的Invitees,even递进呼应上文fail to see,符合语境。故选G项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“For invitees, a “maybe” feels like a better response in the present.(对受邀者来说,“也许”在当下感觉是更好的回复)”以及下文“It benefits them, so they convince themselves that it is also what the inviter wants to hear.(这对他们有利,所以他们说服自己这也是邀请者想听到的)”可知,此处应说明“也许”对受邀者的好处,B选项“It allows them to keep their options open.(这让他们能够保留选择的余地)”中的It指代上文的a ‘maybe’,keep their options open解释了为何对受邀者有利,衔接下文,符合语境。故选B项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Perhaps the biggest piece of advice is not to assume that someone would prefer for you to say “maybe” rather than “no”.(也许最重要的一条建议是,不要假设别人更希望你说“也许”而不是“不”)”以及下文“Is a conference call with a handful of “maybes” worth holding, or should it be rescheduled? By contrast, when you give a direct ‘no’, the inviter can move forward with a firm plan, knowing exactly what to expect.(一场有几个“也许”回复的电话会议值得召开吗?还是应该重新安排时间?相比之下,当你直接说“不”时,邀请者可以带着明确的计划前进,清楚地知道会发生什么)”可知,此处应说明“也许”回复带来的问题,E选项““Maybe” often raises more questions than answers.(“也许”往往带来的问题比答案更多)”承接上文建议,引出下文对“也许”和“不”两种回复的对比,符合语境。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Another piece of advice is to put yourself in the shoes of the inviter before deciding how to respond. Taking the inviter’s perspective makes invitees more likely to think that a “no” is preferred to a “maybe”.(另一条建议是,在决定如何回复之前,设身处地为邀请者着想。站在邀请者的角度,受邀者更有可能认为“不”比“也许”更受欢迎)”可知,此处应说明这种设身处地做法的作用,F选项“This simple exercise helps prevent motivated reasoning.(这个简单的做法有助于防止动机性推理)”中的This simple exercise指代上文的put yourself in the shoes of the inviter、Taking the inviter’s perspective,呼应前文提到的motivated reasoning这一核心原因,符合语境。故选F项。

【答案】Dear Chris,
I understand your feeling that many iconic attractions look similar — tall towers, old pagodas or squares. But actually, they carry different cultural meanings behind them.
Take the Forbidden City in China as an example. It is not just a group of ancient buildings, but a treasure carrying thousands of years of Chinese history and traditional art. It shows the wisdom and aesthetics of the Chinese nation.
Every scenic spot has its unique culture and stories. I hope you can feel its special charm in person later.
Yours,
Li Hua

52. 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。
On Friday evening, I couldn’t hold back my news. “My teacher wants us to make a collage (拼贴画) from old cloth for a class project,” I announced at dinner. “It’s due next Monday.” Mom didn’t look up from her plate. “We’ll see,” she said quietly. My heart sank. “What does ‘we’ll see’ mean?” I thought. “If I don’t finish this project, I’ll fail the assignment.” I pushed my food around my plate, my excitement gone. Later, I approached Dad carefully. “We need to find some old fabric…” I said. He was reading the newspaper. “Hmm” was all he said, not even looking at me. A heavy feeling settled in my chest. “Maybe my schoolwork isn’t important to them,” I worried.
Throughout Saturday, I waited, hoping to hear the sound of scissors or the rustle of cloth. But nothing happened. Did they forget? I wondered, my stomach tight with worry.
By Sunday afternoon, I was fighting back tears. The deadline felt like a dark cloud over me. In our home, asking twice often led to trouble. I watched my parents move around the house, wishing one of them would say something — anything — about my project. But they were busy with their own tasks. I felt invisible and quite alone. The hope I had felt on Friday was now completely gone.
Just before dinner, Dad walked into my room. “Come with me,” he said, his voice gentle. I followed him to the living room, confused. Then I stopped, surprised. On the big table lay pieces of colorful cloth. I saw the blue pattern from my old baby blanket, a soft red piece from Mom’s favorite worn- out shirt, and even some rough brown fabric from Grandpa’s gardening apron (围裙), each tied to our past memory.
“I’ve been saving these,” Dad said, a small smile on his face. Mom walked in and said, “Let’s get to work.” As I saw her holding a box of buttons and thread and a pair of scissors, my worry began to melt away, replaced with a heart full of joy. “Thank you,” I whispered. Dad and Mom patted my shoulders gently, then we worked together to turn the cloth into something meaningful.

For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
For the next two hours, the living room became our workshop. Dad showed me how to cut shapes safely. “Hold the scissors like this,” he said, guiding my hand. Mom helped arrange the pieces on a large board. “Does this look good here?” she asked me. I nodded, a warm sense of being valued washing over me. We talked and laughed as we worked. Dad shared a story about Grandpa and that old apron. Mom remembered when I was little, I was wrapped in that blue blanket. This was no longer just a school project; it felt like we were putting together pieces of our family’s story.
On Monday, I carried my “artwork” to school with pride. I shared the meaning of the picture and each piece with the class during the project presentation and then my teacher held it up and said, “This one tells a meaningful story.” A rush of pride filled me, and I couldn’t wait to share it with my parents. After school I said “Thank you” to my parents. Mom put her hand on my shoulder. “We’ re always here for you,” she replied. I realized then that “We’ll see” didn’t mean no. Sometimes, it just meant “wait, and we’ll find a way to help you together.” The cloth collage, a quiet reminder of the lesson in patience and love, stayed on our wall for years.
