It’s the eighth annual Fully Booked Holiday Gift Guide! On today’s special episode, co-hosted by editor-in-chief Tom Beer, we’re celebrating the season with our top picks in gift books for every reader on your list. We’ve set our sights on standout cookbooks, art books, boxed sets and more, with recommendations from our editors and interviews with two extra-special guests.
First, we welcome writer and photographer Ben Schott. Schott is the creator and designer of the international bestseller Schott’s Original Miscellany and its three sequels (续集). His series of miscellanies, almanacs, and the book Schottenfreude, have collectively sold 2.5 million copies in 21 languages. He has written for many outlets, including The Times, The Telegraph, New York Times, and Bon Appetit, and is a 2015 James Beard Award winner for humor. Schott’s Significa is a nice encyclopedia (百科全书) about gestures.
Next, we welcome writer, cooking historian, and educator Michael W. Twitty. Twitty is the author of two-time James Beard Award winner The Cooking Gene, as well as the cookbook Rice and the memoir (回忆录) Koshersoul.

Freezers are essential technology, as they keep many different kinds of foods and medicines fresh. But they worsen climate change. Freezers, refrigerators and air conditioners create a lot of greenhouse gases — about 10 percent of the world’s annual emissions! The electricity which a freezer consumes over its lifetime represents about 80 percent of its impact on the climate.
What if freezers could use less electricity while preserving the same amount of stuff? That’s where a new approach called isochoric freezing (定容冷冻) comes in.
Boris Rubinsky is a biomedical engineer at the University of California. He came up with the idea for isochoric freezing while working on ways to preserve human organs for transplants. He realized the technique might work well for food, too. So, he began working with the ARS to test it. They found that if the food industry worldwide were to switch over to this approach, the drop in emissions per year would be equal to taking about one million gas-powered cars off the road!
To use isochoric freezing, you fill a special container with a liquid (perhaps plain water or juice) and float food inside, near the top. Then you seal it up and place the whole thing in a regular freezer. The water begins freezing from the bottom and expands. This increases the pressure inside the container.
Eventually, the high pressure makes it impossible for ice to keep forming. The food at the top remains floating in liquid at “close to freezing temperatures, but without any ice in the food,” explains Bilbao-Sainz.
Why does this save electricity? The food never freezes solid, so it takes much less energy to get the canister cold enough. A typical food freezer runs at –20 degrees Celsius. But to use isochoric freezing with solid foods such as tomatoes or blueberries, your freezer needs to be at –5 degrees Celsius or higher, says Bilbao-Sainz.
To use the new technique, the food industry wouldn’t have to change out their current freezers, just set them to run warmer. Bilbao-Sainz and her team are working on ways to produce and sell containers of different sizes.
If all that weren’t exciting enough, this new method also usually results in fresher, tastier foods. Regular freezing forms ice that damages many foods. If you put a tomato into a regular freezer, for example, it will turn to mush when you unfreeze it. In an isochoric freezer, though, “tomatoes got really, really good results,” says Bilbao-Sainz. “They taste fresh.”
What do you think? Are regular frozen foods about to become old-fashioned?
24. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about isochoric freezing?
A. It was invented by a biomedical engineer.
B. It was first used to preserve human organs.
C. It works by freezing food at extremely low temperatures.
D. It is not widely used in the food industry across the world.
25. According to the article, switching to isochoric freezing could result in ______.
A. reduced greenhouse gas emissions B. increased emissions from energy use
C. decreased food waste in grocery stores D. increased water usage in food production
26. How is isochoric freezing better than traditional freezing methods?
A. It consumes no electricity. B. It prevents food from going bad.
C. It requires less energy to keep food cold. D. It makes food fresher than before freezing.
27. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Isochoric freezing technology has been out of date.
B. A new type of environmentally friendly freezing method.
C. The environmental impact of regular freezer technology.
D. The origin of using isochoric freezing in food preservation.

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).
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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Message Overflow B. Email Slavery
C. Message Addiction D. Email Craze
D
Courts in the United States now rely heavily on scientific evidence and expert testimony (证词) to decide questions of fact. On 1 December 2023, revised draft to Federal Rule of Evidence 702 took effect, further clarifying the court’s duty as a gatekeeper of expert evidence. This change comes soon after the 30-year anniversary of the Daubert case, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on how federal judges should evaluate scientific evidence. Daubert was praised as a victory for science in the legal system, but its flexible standard has produced serious inconsistencies. Most notably, it has had a much stronger influence in civil cases than in criminal ones. Daubert’s basic message — that scientific evidence must be valid and reliable — should apply just as strictly in criminal justice and forensic science (法医学) .
Before Daubert, judges mainly asked whether a method was “generally accepted” in a field, and often treated an expert’s own claim as enough. Daubert shifted the burden to judges, who must now seriously examine validity. The Court listed possible factors — testing, error rates, peer review, and general acceptance — but offered limited concrete guidance and left judges open questions.
In civil cases, Daubert has clearly increased review of experts such as epidemiologists, economists, and physicians. Parties now challenge expert evidence more often, and more testimony is excluded under this gatekeeping role. Whether courts are always correct about validity is less clear, but the standard has generally raised the bar in civil actions.
In criminal cases, however, change has been weak. Forensic evidence like fingerprints, bloodstain pattern analysis, and firearms identification often enters court with little scientific testing or proof of accuracy. Reports by the National Academy of Sciences and the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology warned that many forensic pattern techniques have poor scientific foundations, unclear error rates, and limited statistical support. Moreover, crime labs are often tied to law enforcement, reducing independence.
The reason for such situation is that public defenders lack resources, and judges frequently rely on “general acceptance” or old precedents (先例) instead of demanding strong scientific proof. The moment is right for a national committee of judges, scientists, legal scholars, and forensic professionals to design a framework that ensures forensic methods in court are truly valid and reliable. Only then can Daubert’s gatekeeping promise genuinely improve justice.
32. Which of the following statements about impacts of Daubert case is TRUE?
A. The essence of scientific evidence is much emphasized.
B. The court is responsible for evaluating expert evidence.
C Expert testimony is particularly unreliable in civil cases.
D. The effectiveness of scientific evidence is broadly doubted.
33. According to the passage, which evidence may undergo the strictest review in court?
A. A DNA comparison test conducted by forensic scientists in a murder case.
B. Evaluation of a financial analyst about share prices in economic disputes.
C. Identification of purchased animal species by zoologists in criminal cases.
D. Handwriting comparisons by forensic experts when validating a contract.
34. Why are reforms in criminal justice weaker?
(1) Forensic labs have connections with law enforcement.
(2) Suspects have little ability to question the evidence.
(3) Courts tend to follow rather than make decisions.
A. (1) and (2). B. (1) and (3). C. (2) and (3). D. (1) , (2) and (3).
35. Below are statements from four professionals. Which professional may be inferred to have the most similar perspective to the author?
We judges are not experts in the field of science, so our decision on whether or not accepting forensic testimony about questions of fact is not that reliable.
Dr. William, Judge
Forensic institutions share the same purpose with police officers, that is, to look for, or find, evidence and to use them to eventually prove suspects guilty.
Mr. Jeffrey, Police
Current situation of scientific evidence is far from satisfactory. That’s all because both parties tend to test and present evidence that are beneficial to themselves.
Prof. Jacqueline, Scholar
Different experts have their own view of scientific evidence. But from a practical perspective, it’s hard to prove anything without the presence of such evidence.
Ms. Sherley, Lawyer
A. Dr. William. B. Mr. Jeffrey. C. Prof. Jacqueline. D. Ms. Sherley.

We may have the experience of keeping our favorite song replaying itself in our minds. Experts agree that music has the ability to activate the hippocampus (海马体), especially when the songs transport you to happy moments in your life. ____36____ However, it is also important to pay attention to some mental patterns that may consistently dominate, as this could be an anxiety disorder.
____37____ From a psychological perspective, this could be similar to the obsessive thoughts (执念) that reoccur in their mind. In this regard, psychologist María Angélica Barrero points out that music can be a wonderful tool for relaxation if you use it for what it is: music-listen to it carefully and enjoy it. ____38____
Now, let’s look at what happens to music that is created with the intention of being catchy so that it repeats in our brains.
“Music bug” is a phenomenon that occurs when a song or melody plays repeatedly in the mind and becomes trapped in a person’s head. ____39____ When you experience moments of “musical urges”, it’s important to know that you have little conscious control over your brain.
What’s the best strategy to suppress (抑制) the “musical urge”? ____40____ After completing this step, boost your cognitive (认知) health with some exercise that excites you and absorbs your attention, such as riddles and crossword puzzles.
A. This situation is not so serious as you think.
B. Listen to the entire song without interruption!
C. However, using a song to avoid anxiety is not healthy.
D. Technically, it’s known as “involuntary musical imagery”.
E. Nervous people are more likely to listen to a song repeatedly.
F. In fact, songs with strong emotional ties are losing their appeal.
G Listening to a song several times can be harmless for most people.

The word ‘habits’ gets thrown around a lot.Your doctor encourages you to get into the ‘good habit’ of eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day; your friend ____41____ their ‘bad habit’ of checking social media before bed; maybe you once had a music teacher who kept on at you to practise your finger exercises until they ‘feel ____42____,.
But according to psychologists, not everything you do, or want to do, frequently or regularly, is ____43____ a habit. Some of the situations above are more about goals (what you hope to achieve at some point in the future), ____44____ (your plans for what you’re going to do) and skills (such as being able to hit musical notes consistently), than about habits. ____45____, routines — such as going to the gym regularly — have the ____46____ to become a habit, but it’s not for sure that they will.
So, what exactly is a habit? And what does it take to make one that’s ‘good’ or ____47____ one that’s ‘bad’? One key feature of habits is that once something is what you do by habit, you do it without thinking. Building on that idea, psychologists today say that what makes a habit a habit is that it’s a behaviour that’s started ____48____ by specific cues (提示) in the environment. The pairing between the cue and the action might have begun as ____49____ — that is, done to serve a particular goal or because it’s rewarding, but over time, the association is ____50____ and now it plays out without thought even if the behaviour is no longer pleasurable or desirable.
This process of a behaviour in a particular situation starting out as willful but then becoming increasingly automatic through ____51____, has been shown at the level of brain activity.
When a behaviour turns into a habit, the brain relies less on goal-directed systems and more on those driving ____52____ action. Or, to put it another way, the decision-making process you once had to ____53____ to perform the behaviour has been bypassed.
But what really makes habits so interesting to psychologists and other health professionals is the way they can ____54____ our behaviour for better and worse. The healthy or unhealthy habits you may have can have an outsized influence on the kind of lifestyle you lead, and on your ability to fulfil your longer-tern goals. So, if you’ve formed a number of unhealthy habits, the long-term ____55____ impact could be significant.
41. A. worries about B. takes pride in C. benefits from D. depends on
42. A. exhausting B. worrying C. habitual D. imperfect

48. A. barely B. thoroughly C. early D. automatically
49. A. purposeful B. mindless C. temporary D. accidental
50. A. confirmed B. strengthened C. discovered D. approved

Officially ____56____(launch) on December 18, 2025, Hainan’s full-island closure for customs supervision is a landmark and innovative measure of China’s high-level opening-up, rather than ____57____ restrictive “island sealing” as misunderstood by some. Its core principle — “opening up at the first line, controlling at the second line, ____58____ free flow within the island” — demonstrates a well-balanced combination of openness and security, aiming to transform the entire island into a special customs-supervised zone that integrates ____59____ international economic and trade rules.
From a policy perspective, the “first-line opening-up” significantly simplifies customs clearance procedures, enabling the convenient and efficient flow of overseas goods, capital and personnel, ____60____ is highly beneficial to attracting foreign investment and promoting industrial agglomeration. Meanwhile, the “second-line control” focuses on precise supervision, effectively preventing potential risks and safeguarding the stability of the mainland market. Notably, the ____61____ (expand) of the zero-tariff commodity list — with tax items increasing from 1,900 to approximately 6,600 — has substantially reduced import costs for enterprises, ____62____ (stimulate) the development of high-value-added industries such as advanced manufacturing and cross-border e-commerce.
As a ____63____ (strategic) important hub connecting domestic and international dual circulations, this closure is economically significant for enhancing Hainan’s participation in the global value chain and institutionally ____64____ (value) for accumulating replicable experiences in institutional opening-up. Furthermore, it ______65______ (improve) residents’ well-being by providing more duty-free consumer goods and creating high-quality employment opportunities, making Hainan a more attractive and prosperous region contributing to China’s sustained opening-up drive.

It was a Saturday. Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the mall was packed with people. I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see.
On that day we walked down the road, taking quick looks at window boutiques (时装店) because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always. I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore bright and luxury clothing. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer — I was ashamed of my mother.
We were in a high-class neighborhood; I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building that Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools there were good. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom, I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the heavy lines around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair was too gray for her age. I looked at her, and I was ashamed.
My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain (朴素的). Saying I’d meet her at the clothes outlet (平价店) around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the outlet with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I felt like I’d been dropped into a cold lake, facing Mom’s offer — buying me clothes.

【原文】W: Oh, Carson, you look pale. Are you OK?
M: No, I just slept for 2 hours. I stayed up late finishing my homework last night.
W: But Mr. Thompson didn’t assign that much homework, did he? I finished mine within 2 hours last night.
M: I just couldn’t help playing with my phone when I was doing my homework last night. I just wanted to search for something on the Internet but I ended up spending several hours watching videos online.
W: I used to play games or watch movies on my phone all night. But now I hardly ever play with my phone.
M: How did you manage to do that?
W: Well, first, I’ve been trying to take part in more outdoor activities. I have joined a baseball team and we usually play baseball on Sunday afternoons. So I’m no longer just addicted to the Internet. Then, I asked my parents to keep my phone every night before I go to bed.
M: That’s impossible for me. I can’t fall asleep without playing with my phone. Besides, I need an alarm on my phone to wake me up in the morning.
W: You can buy an alarm clock, or you can ask your parents to wake you up.

【答案】10. A 11. A 12. B 13. B
【解析】
【原文】W: So, Mike, what is the Slow Food Movement?
M: Well, it’s a reaction to fast food and fast modern lifestyles. The Movement was started by an Italian called Carlo Petrini. He organized it because a McDonald’s had opened near the Spanish Steps in Rome. He felt it was the ruin of many valuable traditional things and he tried to promote healthier ways of eating and living.
W: So, Slow Food just means healthier food, does it?
M: Not exactly. I think it’s more about our lifestyles. We’re always in such a hurry. We don’t have enough time to enjoy our lives.
W: Fast Food companies advertise their food is healthy. How would you answer that?
M: It may be right in a way, but for me, the problem is that wherever you sit down for a meal, whether in France or China, what you’re given is too similar. It makes eating and life boring. Traditional food isn’t going to be lost completely, but we do want as many people as possible to enjoy it.
W: So, let’s see if I’ve understood you. The Movement’s main object is to improve the way we live, isn’t it?
M: Exactly that. It’s not just about food. It’s about how we live and finding time to enjoy our lives.

M: Thanks for calling. I was mainly looking for something serving tables. I used to bring food and drinks to the customers.
W: I understand. But being a host can be a great experience, too. It’s a fantastic way to develop your communication skills and get a full picture of how the restaurant operates. You’ll have a similar salary, and it’s a bit more relaxed.
M: That sounds interesting. But I’m not sure about working alone at the front of the restaurant. I’m a bit nervous about handling everything by myself, especially during busy hours.
W: You won’t be alone. There’s always at least one more host on a shift with you so you’ll have support and it won’t feel difficult.
M: I’m interested in the host position, then.
W: Excellent! We’ll just need to schedule one more appointment to chat with the boss and the shift manager. Then, you’ll be able to start your training.
M: Sure, that sounds good. Thank you for considering me for the position.

【解析】
【原文】W: Good afternoon and welcome to Stanton University. I’m here to tell you about the various dorms we have. We aim to offer accommodation to all first-year students. First of all, there’s Brown Hall, which is not the most modern of buildings, but it is very popular. Unlike the other halls, it has recently had a gym built in its basement. Another option is Blake Residence, built like a large house. Everybody cooks and eats together. It has a private garden and is even more peaceful because this is an all-girl’s residence but boys can visit it. The largest one we have is Queen’s Building and this has been upgraded recently. The original parking area has been built on and each bedroom now has its own shower room. A further option is the Parkway Flats with a preservation order. This has meant that only a limited amount could be done to upgrade it, and the surrounding area is important. So parking is not permitted around the flats. However, the flats do have many extra facilities such as a special computer room, a small library and a self-service restaurant. The cost of meals is covered in the fees. So it does look a bit more expensive.

Freezers are essential technology, as they keep many different kinds of foods and medicines fresh. But they worsen climate change. Freezers, refrigerators and air conditioners create a lot of greenhouse gases — about 10 percent of the world’s annual emissions! The electricity which a freezer consumes over its lifetime represents about 80 percent of its impact on the climate.
What if freezers could use less electricity while preserving the same amount of stuff? That’s where a new approach called isochoric freezing (定容冷冻) comes in.
Boris Rubinsky is a biomedical engineer at the University of California. He came up with the idea for isochoric freezing while working on ways to preserve human organs for transplants. He realized the technique might work well for food, too. So, he began working with the ARS to test it. They found that if the food industry worldwide were to switch over to this approach, the drop in emissions per year would be equal to taking about one million gas-powered cars off the road!
To use isochoric freezing, you fill a special container with a liquid (perhaps plain water or juice) and float food inside, near the top. Then you seal it up and place the whole thing in a regular freezer. The water begins freezing from the bottom and expands. This increases the pressure inside the container.
Eventually, the high pressure makes it impossible for ice to keep forming. The food at the top remains floating in liquid at “close to freezing temperatures, but without any ice in the food,” explains Bilbao-Sainz.
Why does this save electricity? The food never freezes solid, so it takes much less energy to get the canister cold enough. A typical food freezer runs at –20 degrees Celsius. But to use isochoric freezing with solid foods such as tomatoes or blueberries, your freezer needs to be at –5 degrees Celsius or higher, says Bilbao-Sainz.
To use the new technique, the food industry wouldn’t have to change out their current freezers, just set them to run warmer. Bilbao-Sainz and her team are working on ways to produce and sell containers of different sizes.
If all that weren’t exciting enough, this new method also usually results in fresher, tastier foods. Regular freezing forms ice that damages many foods. If you put a tomato into a regular freezer, for example, it will turn to mush when you unfreeze it. In an isochoric freezer, though, “tomatoes got really, really good results,” says Bilbao-Sainz. “They taste fresh.”
What do you think? Are regular frozen foods about to become old-fashioned?
24. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about isochoric freezing?
A. It was invented by a biomedical engineer.
B. It was first used to preserve human organs.
C. It works by freezing food at extremely low temperatures.
D. It is not widely used in the food industry across the world.
25. According to the article, switching to isochoric freezing could result in ______.
A. reduced greenhouse gas emissions B. increased emissions from energy use
C. decreased food waste in grocery stores D. increased water usage in food production
26. How is isochoric freezing better than traditional freezing methods?
A. It consumes no electricity. B. It prevents food from going bad.
C. It requires less energy to keep food cold. D. It makes food fresher than before freezing.
27. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Isochoric freezing technology has been out of date.
B. A new type of environmentally friendly freezing method.
C. The environmental impact of regular freezer technology.
D. The origin of using isochoric freezing in food preservation.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. C 27. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“定容冷冻法”这一新型食品冷冻技术,它通过将食物密封在加压液体中并在接近冰点的温度下保存,可大幅降低能耗和温室气体排放,且能更好地保持食物的新鲜口感和质地。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The food at the top remains floating in liquid at “close to freezing temperatures, but without any ice in the food,” explains Bilbao-Sainz. (Bilbao-Sainz解释道:“处于顶层的食物仍处于悬浮状态,所处环境的温度接近冰点,但食物中却没有任何冰晶。”)”和第六段中“But to use isochoric freezing with solid foods such as tomatoes or blueberries, your freezer needs to be at –5 degrees Celsius or higher, says Bilbao-Sainz. (Bilbao-Sainz表示,若要使用定容冷冻法来冷冻诸如西红柿或蓝莓这类固体食物,你的冰箱温度需要保持在零下5摄氏度或更高。)”可知,定容冷冻法并非在极低温下冷冻食物,“它通过在极低温度下冷冻食物来工作”的说法与文意不符。故选C项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“They found that if the food industry worldwide were to switch over to this approach, the drop in emissions per year would be equal to taking about one million gas-powered cars off the road! (他们发现,如果全球食品行业都采用这种做法,每年的排放量将会减少,其效果相当于约一百万辆燃油汽车从道路上消失!)”可知,改用定容冷冻法可能会促使温室气体排放减少。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中“Why does this save electricity? The food never freezes solid, so it takes much less energy to get the canister cold enough. (为什么这样做能节省电力呢?食物永远不会完全冻住,所以将容器冷却到所需温度所需的能源要少得多。)”可知,相比于传统冷冻方法,定容冷冻法的优势在于需要更少的能源来保持食物低温。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“What if freezers could use less electricity while preserving the same amount of stuff? That’s where a new approach called isochoric freezing (定容冷冻) comes in. (如果冰箱能够在用电量减少的同时仍能保存相同数量的物品,那该怎样呢?这时一种名为定容冷冻的新方法就派上用场了。)”可知,文章围绕定容冷冻法这一新技术展开,介绍了其原理、节能环保优势、对食物品质的提升以及应用前景,文章的主要内容是一种新型环保冷冻方法。故选B项。
C
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.
28. 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.
29. 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.
30. 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.
31. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Message Overflow B. Email Slavery
C. Message Addiction D. Email Craze
【答案】28. D 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了计算机科学家卡尔·纽波特在其著作中提出的观点——电子邮件这一发明虽带来便利,却让人们陷入“邮件奴役”,影响工作效率和情绪,并探讨了相关解决办法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable (易怒的). (普通知识工作者每天收发126封电子邮件,这会破坏注意力,使他们效率降低、更易怒)”可知,纽波特在书中指出,电子邮件过载会影响效率和情绪这一现象。故选D项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“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. (若不是有一个问题,这一切或许还能忍受:现代电子信息传递与我们自身信息处理能力不匹配。多任务处理只是个神话。面对塞满的收件箱,我们无法清晰思考。我们天生更喜欢实时对话,所有人能一起获取最新信息。回到小部落时代,我们需要日常交流来感受联结。如今,在数字世界里,这种古老的渴望让我们若不立即回复每一封邮件就会感到焦虑)”可知,该段先提出核心问题(信息传递与处理能力不匹配),再分析多任务处理的误区、人类对实时交流的天生偏好及古今场景下的心理变化,以此剖析电子邮件带来困扰的原因,是通过分析原因展开段落的。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“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. (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。
【31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。
D
Courts in the United States now rely heavily on scientific evidence and expert testimony (证词) to decide questions of fact. On 1 December 2023, revised draft to Federal Rule of Evidence 702 took effect, further clarifying the court’s duty as a gatekeeper of expert evidence. This change comes soon after the 30-year anniversary of the Daubert case, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on how federal judges should evaluate scientific evidence. Daubert was praised as a victory for science in the legal system, but its flexible standard has produced serious inconsistencies. Most notably, it has had a much stronger influence in civil cases than in criminal ones. Daubert’s basic message — that scientific evidence must be valid and reliable — should apply just as strictly in criminal justice and forensic science (法医学) .
Before Daubert, judges mainly asked whether a method was “generally accepted” in a field, and often treated an expert’s own claim as enough. Daubert shifted the burden to judges, who must now seriously examine validity. The Court listed possible factors — testing, error rates, peer review, and general acceptance — but offered limited concrete guidance and left judges open questions.
In civil cases, Daubert has clearly increased review of experts such as epidemiologists, economists, and physicians. Parties now challenge expert evidence more often, and more testimony is excluded under this gatekeeping role. Whether courts are always correct about validity is less clear, but the standard has generally raised the bar in civil actions.
In criminal cases, however, change has been weak. Forensic evidence like fingerprints, bloodstain pattern analysis, and firearms identification often enters court with little scientific testing or proof of accuracy. Reports by the National Academy of Sciences and the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology warned that many forensic pattern techniques have poor scientific foundations, unclear error rates, and limited statistical support. Moreover, crime labs are often tied to law enforcement, reducing independence.
The reason for such situation is that public defenders lack resources and judges frequently rely on “general acceptance” or old precedents (先例) instead of demanding strong scientific proof. The moment is right for a national committee of judges, scientists, legal scholars, and forensic professionals to design a framework that ensures forensic methods in court are truly valid and reliable. Only then can Daubert’s gatekeeping promise genuinely improve justice.
32. Which of the following statements about impacts of Daubert case is TRUE?
A. The essence of scientific evidence is much emphasized.
B. The court is responsible for evaluating expert evidence.
C. Expert testimony is particularly unreliable in civil cases.
D. The effectiveness of scientific evidence is broadly doubted.
33. According to the passage, which evidence may undergo the strictest review in court?
A. A DNA comparison test conducted by forensic scientists in a murder case.
B. Evaluation of a financial analyst about share prices in economic disputes.
C. Identification of purchased animal species by zoologists in criminal cases.
D. Handwriting comparisons by forensic experts when validating a contract.
34. Why are reforms in criminal justice weaker?
(1) Forensic labs have connections with law enforcement.
(2) Suspects have little ability to question the evidence.
(3) Courts tend to follow rather than make decisions.
A. (1) and (2). B. (1) and (3). C. (2) and (3). D. (1) , (2) and (3).
35. Below are statements from four professionals. Which professional may be inferred to have the most similar perspective to the author?
We judges are not experts in the field of science, so our decision on whether or not accepting forensic testimony about questions of fact is not that reliable.
Dr. William, Judge
Forensic institutions share the same purpose with police officers, that is, to look for, or find, evidence and to use them to eventually prove suspects guilty.
Mr. Jeffrey, Police
Current situation of scientific evidence is far from satisfactory. That’s all because both parties tend to test and present evidence that are beneficial to themselves.
Prof. Jacqueline, Scholar
Different experts have their own view of scientific evidence. But from a practical perspective, it’s hard to prove anything without the presence of such evidence.
Ms. Sherley, Lawyer
A. Dr. William. B. Mr. Jeffrey. C. Prof. Jacqueline. D. Ms. Sherley.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了美国法院依赖科学证据和专家证词,围绕《联邦证据规则》702修订草案及多伯特案展开,分析其对民事与刑事案件的不同影响,指出刑事司法中科学证据审查的不足及原因,并呼吁建立相关框架保障证据有效性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“On 1 December 2023, revised draft to Federal Rule of Evidence 702 took effect, further clarifying the court’s duty as a gatekeeper of expert evidence. This change comes soon after the 30-year anniversary of the Daubert case, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on how federal judges should evaluate scientific evidence.(2023年12月1日,《联邦证据规则》702条修订草案生效,进一步明确了法院作为专家证据守门人的职责。这一变化发生在多伯特案30周年纪念后不久,多伯特案是最高法院关于联邦法官应如何评估科学证据的里程碑式裁决)”可知,多伯特案的核心影响之一是明确了法院评估专家证据的职责,故选B项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In civil cases, Daubert has clearly increased review of experts such as epidemiologists, economists, and physicians. Parties now challenge expert evidence more often, and more testimony is excluded under this gatekeeping role.(在民事案件中,多伯特案明显加强了对流行病学家、经济学家和医生等专家的审查。各方现在更频繁地对专家证据提出质疑,更多证词在这种守门人角色下被排除在外)”及第四段中“In criminal cases, however, change has been weak.(然而,在刑事案件中,变化却很微弱)”可知,民事案件中的专家证据审查比刑事案件更严格。B项“经济纠纷中财务分析师对股价的评估”属于民事案件中的专家证据,可能接受最严格审查。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“The reason for such situation is that public defenders lack resources, and judges frequently rely on “general acceptance” or old precedents (先例) instead of demanding strong scientific proof.(造成这种情况的原因是公设辩护人缺乏资源,法官经常依赖“普遍接受”或旧先例,而不是要求强有力的科学证据)”可知,刑事司法改革较弱的原因包括:“嫌疑人几乎没有能力质疑证据”,原文提及公设辩护人缺乏资源,可推断嫌疑人质疑证据的能力较弱(2);法院倾向于遵循先例而非自主决策(3)。故选C项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者的核心观点是:法院对科学证据的审查存在不足,尤其刑事案件中法医证据缺乏严格科学验证,法官依赖先例,需建立框架保障证据有效可靠,强调法院对科学证据的裁决可靠性不足及法医与执法部门关联的问题。Dr. William(法官)认为法官非科学领域专家,对法医证词的裁决不可靠,与作者“法官依赖先例,对科学证据审查不足”的观点相近。故选A项。

【36题详解】
上文“We may have the experience of keeping our favorite song replaying itself in our minds. Experts agree that music has the ability to activate the hippocampus, especially when the songs transport you to happy moments in your life.(我们或许都有过这样的经历:脑海中总在不自觉地循环播放自己最爱的歌曲。专家认为,音乐能够激活海马体,尤其是当那些旋律将你带回生命中欢欣时刻的时候)”说明了循环听自己最爱的音乐对大脑的积极影响,G选项“Listening to a song several times can be harmless for most people.(对大多数人来说,多次听一首歌是无害的)”承接上文,指出这样重复听歌一般无害,与后文“However, it is also important to pay attention to some mental patterns that may consistently dominate, as this could be an anxiety disorder.(然而,我们也需要留意某些持续占据主导地位的心理模式,因为这可能预示着焦虑症)”形成转折关系,引出一种新的观点:循环听自己最爱的音乐可能预示着焦虑症。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据下文“From a psychological perspective, this could be similar to the obsessive thoughts (执念) that reoccur in their mind.(从心理学的角度来看,这可能与他们脑海中反复出现的强迫性想法类似)”可知,本段主要讲述焦虑的人会反复听歌的情况,E选项“Nervous people are more likely to listen to a song repeatedly.(紧张的人更有可能反复听一首歌)”引起下文,指出紧张的人更可能反复听一首歌,与下文提到的强迫性想法相呼应。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据上文“In this regard, psychologist María Angélica Barrero points out that music can be a wonderful tool for relaxation if you use it for what it is: music-listen to it carefully and enjoy it.(在这方面,心理学家María Angélica Barrero指出,如果你把音乐当作音乐来使用,它就是一种很好的放松工具——仔细听,享受它)”可知,音乐是放松的好工具,C选项“However, using a song to avoid anxiety is not healthy.(然而,用一首歌来避免焦虑是不健康的)”与上文构成转折关系,指出用歌曲来避免焦虑是不健康的,上下文语意衔接自然。故选C项。
【39题详解】
根据上文““Music bug” is a phenomenon that occurs when a song or melody plays repeatedly in the mind and becomes trapped in a person’s head.(“音乐虫”是一种现象,当一首歌或旋律在脑海中反复播放并困在一个人的头脑中时,就会出现这种现象)”可知,本段主要介绍“音乐虫”现象,D选项“Technically, it’s known as “involuntary musical imagery”.(从技术上讲,这被称为“非自愿的音乐想象”)”承接上文,指出这种现象在技术上被称为“非自愿的音乐想象”,句中“it”指代上文“‘Music bug’ is a phenomenon”。故选D项。
【40题详解】
根据上文“What’s the best strategy to suppress (抑制) the “musical urge”? (抑制“音乐冲动”的最佳策略是什么?)”以及下文“After completing this step, boost your cognitive (认知) health with some exercise that excites you and absorbs your attention, such as riddles and crossword puzzles.(完成这一步后,通过一些能让你兴奋并吸引你注意力的锻炼来增强你的认知健康,比如谜语和填字游戏)”可知,本段主要讲述如何抑制“音乐冲动”,B选项“Listen to the entire song without interruption!(不间断地听完整首歌!)”承接上文,回答了如何抑制“音乐冲动”的问题,即不间断地听完整首歌,同时引出了下文,即完成这一步后,通过其他活动来增强认知健康。故选B项。

The word ‘habits’ gets thrown around a lot.Your doctor encourages you to get into the ‘good habit’ of eating five portions of fruit and vegetables a day; your friend ____41____ their ‘bad habit’ of checking social media before bed; maybe you once had a music teacher who kept on at you to practise your finger exercises until they ‘feel ____42____,.
But according to psychologists, not everything you do, or want to do, frequently or regularly, is ____43____ a habit. Some of the situations above are more about goals (what you hope to achieve at some point in the future), ____44____ (your plans for what you’re going to do) and skills (such as being able to hit musical notes consistently), than about habits. ____45____, routines — such as going to the gym regularly — have the ____46____ to become a habit, but it’s not for sure that they will.
So, what exactly is a habit? And what does it take to make one that’s ‘good’ or ____47____ one that’s ‘bad’? One key feature of habits is that once something is what you do by habit, you do it without thinking. Building on that idea, psychologists today say that what makes a habit a habit is that it’s a behaviour that’s started ____48____ by specific cues (提示) in the environment. The pairing between the cue and the action might have begun as ____49____ — that is, done to serve a particular goal or because it’s rewarding, but over time, the association is ____50____ and now it plays out without thought even if the behaviour is no longer pleasurable or desirable.
This process of a behaviour in a particular situation starting out as willful but then becoming increasingly automatic through ____51____, has been shown at the level of brain activity.
When a behaviour turns into a habit, the brain relies less on goal-directed systems and more on those driving ____52____ action. Or, to put it another way, the decision-making process you once had to ____53____ to perform the behaviour has been bypassed.
But what really makes habits so interesting to psychologists and other health professionals is the way they can ____54____ our behaviour for better and worse. The healthy or unhealthy habits you may have can have an outsized influence on the kind of lifestyle you lead, and on your ability to fulfil your longer-tern goals. So, if you’ve formed a number of unhealthy habits, the long-term ____55____ impact could be significant.
41. A. worries about B. takes pride in C. benefits from D. depends on
42. A. exhausting B. worrying C. habitual D. imperfect
43. A. reversely B. alternatively C. necessarily D. academically
44. A. calendars B. intentions C. preferences D. actions
45. A. Still B. Consequently C. Instead D. Therefore
46. A. right B. limit C. advantage D. potential
47. A. define B. break C. form D. have
48. A. barely B. thoroughly C. early D. automatically
49. A. purposeful B. mindless C. temporary D. accidental
50. A. confirmed B. strengthened C. discovered D. approved
51. A. repetition B. struggle C. practice D. selection
52. A. decisive B. positive C. instinctive D. unlawful
53. A. come back B. settle down C. take over D. go through
54. A. control B. change C. interpret D. observe
55. A. indirect B. emotional C. unexpected D. harmful
【答案】41. A 42. C 43. C 44. B 45. A 46. D 47. B 48. D 49. A 50. B 51. A 52. C 53. D 54. A 55. D

【41题详解】
考查动词短语辨析。句意:你的朋友担心他们睡前刷社交媒体的“坏习惯”。A. worries about担心;B. takes pride in以……为傲;C. benefits from从……中受益;D. depends on依赖。根据后文“their ‘bad habit’ of checking social media before bed”可知,此处应是对坏习惯的负面态度,“担心”符合逻辑。故选A。
【42题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:也许你曾经有一位音乐老师一直督促你练习手指练习,直到它们“感觉习惯为止”。A. exhausting令人疲惫的;B. worrying令人担心的;C. habitual习惯的;D. imperfect不完美的。根据上文“maybe you once had a music teacher who kept on at you to practise your finger exercises until they ‘feel ”和下文“not everything you do, or want to do, frequently or regularly, is ____ a habit”可知,并非你经常或定期做的、或想做的每一件事都必然是一种习惯,本文谈论的是“习惯”。老师督促练习的目的是让动作成为习惯,此处指练习到感觉习惯为止。故选C。
【43题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:但根据心理学家的说法,并不是你经常或定期做的,或想要做的每一件事都一定是习惯。A. reversely相反地;B. alternatively或者;C. necessarily必要地,一定地;D. academically学术上。根据后文“Some of the situations above are more about goals”可知,并不是你经常做或想要做的每一件事都一定是习惯,有些更像是目标。故选C。
【44题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:上面的有些情况更多的是关于目标(你希望在未来某个时刻实现的目标)、意图(你打算做什么的计划)和技能(比如能够持续地击中音符),而不是关于习惯。A. calendars日历;B. intentions意图;C. preferences偏爱;D. actions行动。根据后文“your plans for what you’re going to do”可知,此处指做某事的计划,即意图。故选B。
【45题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:尽管如此,像定期去健身房这样的日常活动有成为习惯的潜力,但也不能确定它们一定会。A. Still尽管如此;B. Consequently因此;C. Instead相反;D. Therefore因此。上文“But according to psychologists, not everything you do, or want to do, frequently or regularly, is ____ a habit. Some of the situations above are more about goals”提到有些情况不是关于习惯,后文提到“have the ____ to become a habit”日常活动有成为习惯的潜力,前后为转折关系,应用Still。故选A。
【46题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:尽管如此,像定期去健身房这样的日常活动有成为习惯的潜力,但也不能确定它们一定会。A. right权利;B. limit限制;C. advantage优势;D. potential潜力。根据后文“to become a habit, but it’s not for sure that they will”可知,日常活动有成为习惯的潜力,但也不一定。故选D。
【47题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:要养成一个“好”习惯或改掉一个“坏”习惯需要什么呢?A. define定义;B. break打破;C. form形成;D. have拥有。根据前文“what does it take to make one that’s ‘good’ or”和后文“one that’s ‘bad’”可知,与养成好习惯对比,此处指改掉坏习惯。故选B。
【48题详解】
考查副词词义辨析。句意:基于这一观点,如今的心理学家表示,习惯之所以成为习惯,是因为它是一种由环境中的特定提示自动引发的行为。A. barely几乎不;B. thoroughly彻底地;C. early早地;D. automatically自动地。根据前文“One key feature of habits is that once something is what you do by habit, you do it without thinking”提到习惯是无需思考就做的可知,习惯的核心是“自动性”,无需刻意思考,此处指它是一种由环境中的特定提示自动引发的行为。故选D。
【49题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:提示和行动之间的配对可能一开始是有目的的——也就是说,是为了服务于一个特定的目标或因为它是有回报的,但随着时间的推移,这种关联会加强,现在即使行为不再令人愉快或可取,它也会不假思索地发生。A. purposeful有目的的;B. mindless没头脑的;C. temporary暂时的;D. accidental偶然的。根据后文“that is, done to serve a particular goal or because it’s rewarding”可知,为了达到某个特定目标,所以起初的行为是“有目的的”。故选A。
【50题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:提示和行动之间的配对可能一开始是有目的的——也就是说,是为了服务于一个特定的目标或因为它是有回报的,但随着时间的推移,这种关联会加强,现在即使行为不再令人愉快或可取,它也会不假思索地发生。A. confirmed确认;B. strengthened加强;C. discovered发现;D. approved批准。根据后文“now it plays out without thought even if the behaviour is no longer pleasurable or desirable”可知,现在即使行为不再令人愉快或可取,它也会不假思索地发生,所以随着时间的推移,这种关联会加强。故选B。
【51题详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意:在特定情况下,一种行为从有意为之到逐渐变得自动化的过程,通过重复已经在大脑活动水平上得到了证明。A. repetition重复;B. struggle挣扎;C. practice练习;D. selection选择。根据上文“you once had a music teacher who kept on at you to practise your finger exercises until they ‘feel”、“This process of a behaviour in a particular situation starting out as willful but then becoming increasingly automatic through”以及常识可知,行为从有意为之到逐渐变得自动化需要通过重复。故选A。
【52题详解】
考查形容词词义辨析。句意:当一种行为变成习惯时,大脑较少依赖目标导向系统,而更多地依赖驱动本能行为的系统。A. decisive决定性的;B. positive积极的;C. instinctive本能的;D. unlawful非法的。根据上文“One key feature of habits is that once something is what you do by habit, you do it without thinking”、“the brain relies less on goal-directed systems and more on those driving”以及习惯的特点可知,习惯是一种本能的行为,所以大脑会更多地依赖驱动本能行为的系统,不假思索。故选C。
【53题详解】
考查动词短语辨析。句意:换句话说,你曾经为了执行这种行为而必须经历的决策过程已经被绕过了。A. come back回来;B. settle down定居;C. take over接管;D. go through经历。根据后文“to perform the behaviour has been bypassed”可知,此处指“经历”决策的过程,即必须经历的决策过程已经被绕过了。故选D。
【54题详解】
考查动词词义辨析。句意:但真正让心理学家和其他健康专家对习惯感兴趣的是,它们能够控制我们的行为,无论是好是坏。A. control控制;B. change改变;C. interpret解释;D. observe观察。根据后文“our behaviour for better and worse”可知,习惯对行为的影响是“控制”性的,而非单纯“改变”。故选A。

【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2025 年 12 月 18 日,海南全岛实施海关监管封闭措施这一举措正式推出。这是中国高水平对外开放的一项具有里程碑意义且创新性的举措,并非某些人所误解的那种限制性的“岛屿封锁”。空处作非谓语,Hainan’s full-island closure与launch之间为被动关系,故用过去分词,故填launched。

【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:从政策层面来看,“一线放开”显著简化了通关流程,实现了境外货物、资金和人员的便捷高效流动,这对于吸引外资和促进产业集聚具有重要意义。空格处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文整个句子的内容,且在从句中作主语,故填which。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:值得注意的是,零关税商品清单大幅扩容——税目由1900项增至约6600项 —— 显著降低了企业的进口成本,从而带动了先进制造业和跨境电商等高附加值产业的发展。定冠词the后接名词作主语,expand的名词形式为expansion,意为“扩容、扩大”,为不可数名词,故填expansion。
【62题详解】

【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:作为连接国内国际双循环的战略枢纽,这一封关运作在经济上对于提升海南在全球价值链中的参与度具有重要意义,在制度上则为积累可复制的制度型开放经验提供了宝贵价值。此处修饰形容词important,应用副词strategically,意为“战略上”,故填strategically。

【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:此外,它将通过提供更多免税消费品和创造高质量就业机会来改善居民生活,使海南成为一个更具吸引力和繁荣地区,从而为中国持续推进的对外开放事业做出贡献。结合全文语境,海南封关是2025年启动的举措,其对民生的改善为将来的影响,应用一般将来时,故填will improve。

It was a Saturday. Whether it was sunny or cloudy, hot or cold, I cannot remember, but I do remember it was a Saturday because the mall was packed with people. I was with my mom. Mom is short and skinny. It is easy to overlook her in a crowd simply because she is nothing extraordinary to see.
On that day we walked down the road, taking quick looks at window boutiques (时装店) because we both knew we wouldn’t be buying much, like always. I remember I was looking up at the people we passed as we walked. Ladies wore bright and luxury clothing. An uneasy feeling started to settle in my chest. I tried to push it out, but once it took root it refused to go. It got more unbearable with every second until I could deny it no longer — I was ashamed of my mother.
We were in a high-class neighborhood; I knew that. We lived in a small, overpriced apartment building that Mom chose to move to because she knew the schools there were good. As I looked at the passers-by and then turned accusing eyes on Mom, I realized for the first time that we didn’t belong there. I could see the heavy lines around Mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap, old clothes and shoes with the soles (鞋底) worn down. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet and her hair was too gray for her age. I looked at her, and I was ashamed.
My mom is nothing extraordinary, yet at that moment she stood out because she was just so plain (朴素的). Saying I’d meet her at the clothes outlet (平价店) around the corner, I hurried away to the bathroom. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. When I finally made my way to the outlet with hesitant steps, I found that Mom wasn’t there.

With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her.

I felt like I’d been dropped into a cold lake, facing Mom’s offer — buying me clothes.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
With no other options, I had to search the other stores in the area for her. I was fearing to return to her side, already feeling the second hand embarrassment of being with her. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Mom was standing in the middle of a high-end store, holding a sweater that looked much too expensive. She said, “This will look good on you. Do you want it?” And I almost agreed, carelessly and thoughtlessly. Then I took a closer look at the small, weary woman with a big smile stretching across her narrow face and a sweater in her hands, happy to be giving me something so nice, and my words died in my throat.
I felt like I’d been dropped into a cold lake, facing Mom’s offer — buying me clothes. Her clothes were old because she spent her money buying me new ones. She looked so tired and unattractive all the time because she was busy working to provide for me. Suddenly, Mom was beautiful and extraordinary in my eyes. I was no longer ashamed of her, but of myself. At that moment, I made a promise to appreciate my mom for who she was. “Do you want it?” Mom repeated. “No, thanks.” I replied firmly.

I used to play games or watch movies on my phone all night, but now I hardly ever play with my phone. How did you manage to do that?

Well, it's a reaction to fast food and fast to modern lifestyles. The movement was started by an italian called color patrona. He organized IT because the mcDonald said opened near the spanish steps in rome. He felt IT was the ruin of many valuable traditional things, and he tried to promote healthy ways of eating and living. So slow food just means healthier food does . IT not exactly. I think it's more about lifestyles. We're always in such a hurry. We don't have enough time to enjoy our lives. Fast food companies advertise their food is healthy. How would you answer that? IT may be right in a way, but for me, the problem is that wherever you sit down for a meal, whether in france or china, what your given is too similar. IT makes eating and life boring. Traditional food isn't going to be lost completely, but we do want as many people as possible to enjoy IT. So let's see if i've understood you. The movement's main object is to improve the way we live. Isn't IT exactly that. It's not just about food, it's about how we live and finding time to enjoy our lives.

I noticed your application for a waiter position. Unfortunately, we've already filled all server positions. However, we do have an opening for a host. You'll greet and guide guests to their tables, ensuring they have a pleasant start to their meal. Are you open to that? Thanks for calling. I was mainly looking for something serving tables. I used to bring food and drinks to the customers. I understand, but being a host can be a great experience too. It's a fantastic way to develop your communication skills and get a full picture of how the restaurant Operates. You'll have a similar salary and it's a bit more relaxed. That sounds interesting, but i'm not sure about working alone at the front of the restaurant. I'm a bit nervous about handling everything by myself, especially during busy hours. You won't be alone. There's always at least one more host on shift with you, so you'll have support and IT won't feel difficult. I'm interested in the house position. excEllent. We will just need schedule one more appointment to chat with the boss and the shift manager. Then you'll be able to start your training. sure. That sounds good.

We aim to offer accommodation to all first year students. First of all, there's Brown hall, which is not the most modern of buildings, but IT is fairly popular. Unlike the other halls, IT has recently had a gym built in its basement. Another option is Blake residents built like a large house. Everybody cooks and deeds together. IT has a private garden and is even more peaceful because this is an all girl's residents, but boys can visit IT. The largest one we have is queen's building, and this has been upgraded recently. The original parking area has been built on a bedroom, now has its own shower room. A further option is the parkway flats with a preservation order. This has meant that only a limited amount could be done to upgrade, and the surrounding area is important, so parking is not permitted around the flats. However, the flat do have many extra facilities, such as a special computer room, a small library and a self service restaurant. The cost of meals is covered in the fees, so IT does look a bit more expensive. Good afternoon, and welcome to stand in university. I'm here to tell you about the various storms we have.
