Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently. I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D. but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her? It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph. D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all. 24. What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1? A. Demanding research challenges. B. Overwhelming academic workload. C. Repeated failures in research. D. Unattended inner struggles. 25. Why did the author mention the transformation of another student? A. To highlight contrast in mentoring results. B. To showcase his pride in her achievement. C. To explain his own research breakthrough. D. To illustrate his lack of proper guidance 26. What did the workshop mainly focus on? A. Developing excellent academic research skills. B. Encouraging discussions among graduate students. C. Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring. D. Displaying diverse personal mentoring approaches 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Responsible and reflective. B. Talented and intelligent. C. Thoughtful and ambitious. D. Disciplined and considerate. C When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book. It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”. The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favoured books into a “trend-driven accessory”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman. BookTok is seen as performative, with “trendy books” going viral not because of the “quality of the literature” but because it suggests an “increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style”. And when reading becomes a competition, with “countless users showing off” about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to “demonstrating yourself to be a voracious ‘reader’.” Social posturing through books isn’t new. What is new is the “uniquely unapologetic” way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as “an accessory, rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”. But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to UK libraries. One of life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling into a story” and “tuning the world out”, without “worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”. 28. Why do some people engage in performative reading? A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits. C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature. 29. What does the underlined word “voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Occasional. 30. What risk does turning books into accessories create? A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline. C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get sidelined. 31. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be . A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without direct intervention D Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost. Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention. Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care? 32. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study? A. The procedures it followed. B. The limitations in its design. C. The conclusion it has drawn. D. The diversity among its participants. 33. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have? A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently. C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word. 34. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate? A. AI can change users’ mental capacity. B. AI is not widely available to the public. C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness. D. AI is not capable of solving every problem. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit? 第二节（共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture your dream living room. You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open.

Sitting across from me, she looked exhausted — frustrated even. I heard myself say, “This is part of research. You just have to push through.” But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently. I became a mentor (导师) during my second year of Ph. D. but didn’t get much guidance on how to do it. I learned only by doing. There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, “You are the reason I stuck with this.” That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her? It wasn’t until the final year of my Ph. D. that I came across a leaflet for a mentorship training workshop. Skeptical at first, I decided to try it. The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. One session asked us to reflect on our own practices. I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. I wish I’d attended that workshop earlier, but I’m grateful I did at all. 24. What primarily caused the student’s withdrawal according to paragraph 1? A. Demanding research challenges. B. Overwhelming academic workload. C. Repeated failures in research. D. Unattended inner struggles. 25. Why did the author mention the transformation of another student? A. To highlight contrast in mentoring results. B. To showcase his pride in her achievement. C. To explain his own research breakthrough. D. To illustrate his lack of proper guidance 26. What did the workshop mainly focus on? A. Developing excellent academic research skills. B. Encouraging discussions among graduate students. C. Exploring the interpersonal aspects of mentoring. D. Displaying diverse personal mentoring approaches 27. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Responsible and reflective. B. Talented and intelligent. C. Thoughtful and ambitious. D. Disciplined and considerate. 【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者作为导师的经历，包括面对学生因研究失败而退缩的困惑、通过导师培训工作坊反思自身不足并改进与学生的互动方式，展现了作者从经验中学习并不断成长的过程。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“I heard myself say, ‘This is part of research. You just have to push through.’ But even as the words left my mouth, I felt uneasy. She nodded silently and shifted her posture. Afterward, she began showing up less frequently and eventually stopped coming altogether. I tried to explain it away: undergraduates sometimes get busy with coursework, lose interest or change direction, but deep down, I wondered what I could have done differently. (我听到自己说：‘这是研究的一部分。你必须坚持下去。’但话一出口，我就感到不安。她默默地点了点头，改变了姿势。之后，她开始不那么频繁地出现，最终完全不来了。我试图解释：本科生有时会忙于课程，失去兴趣或改变方向，但内心深处，我想知道我本可以采取什么不同的做法。)”可知，作者虽然给出了建议，但内心不安，且学生最终退缩，结合第三段中“I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. (我本可以更加关注她未说出口的挣扎。)”可推知，学生退缩的主要原因是未得到关注的内心的挣扎。故选D项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“There were moments I felt proud of. One student started out quiet and unsure, but over time grew into a most independent and confident young researcher. Before graduating, she told me, ‘You are the reason I stuck with this.’ That moment stayed with me. But so did the other one — the silence, the absences, the slow fade-out. Had I failed her? (有些时刻我感到自豪。一个学生一开始很安静，不确定，但随着时间的推移，她成长为一个最独立、自信的年轻研究员。毕业前，她告诉我：‘你是我坚持下来的原因。’那一刻一直萦绕在我心头。但另一个时刻也是如此——沉默、缺席、慢慢淡出。我让她失望了吗？)”可知，作者提到另一个学生的转变是为了与前文提到的退缩学生形成对比，突出导师结果的不同。故选A项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The program, called Entering Mentoring, brought together graduate students for weekly discussions. For the first time, I had the space to explore the invisible labor and emotional complexity of mentoring. (这个名为“进入导师角色”的项目每周都会召集研究生进行讨论。我第一次有机会探索导师工作中看不见的劳动和情感复杂性。)”可知，工作坊主要聚焦于导师工作中的人际关系方面。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I began to realize what might have been missing in my relationship with the student who had drifted away. I had never invited her to share her goals or concerns. I could have been more attentive to her unspoken struggles. (我开始意识到，在我与那个渐行渐远的学生关系中，可能缺少了什么。我从未邀请她分享自己的目标或担忧。我本可以更加关注她未说出口的挣扎。)”以及最后一段中“After the workshop, I began changing how I interacted with students. I now start by asking how they’re doing, not just experimental details. This shift has led to more honest conversations. I’ve learned that good mentors are built through reflection and training. (工作坊结束后，我开始改变与学生互动的方式。我现在一开始会问他们过得怎么样，而不仅仅是实验细节。这种转变带来了更坦诚的对话。我了解到，好的导师是通过反思和培训建立起来的。)”可知，作者在面对学生退缩时进行了反思，并在工作坊后积极改变与学生的互动方式，这表明作者是一个负责任且善于反思的人。故选A项。 C When you see someone absorbed in a highbrow novel on the train or posing with a philosophical volume on social media, you shouldn’t automatically assume they are reading the book. It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”. The phenomenon has its roots in 2021, when a boom in book clubs led by celebrities along with “BookTok”, the section of TikTok dedicated to promoting and discussing commercial fiction, turned favoured books into a “trend-driven accessory”, said Sarah Manavis in The New Statesman. BookTok is seen as performative, with “trendy books” going viral not because of the “quality of the literature” but because it suggests an “increasingly fashionable, intellectual-looking style”. And when reading becomes a competition, with “countless users showing off” about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to “demonstrating yourself to be a voracious ‘reader’.” Social posturing through books isn’t new. What is new is the “uniquely unapologetic” way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as “an accessory, rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”. But the inconvenient truth is that the virality of literature has led to an uptick in book sales. In 2023, 669 million physical books were sold, the highest overall level ever recorded, along with an increase of visits to UK libraries. One of life’s “simplest pleasures” remains “falling into a story” and “tuning the world out”, without “worrying about what someone’s going to think of you”, said Demopoulos. Enjoy the story. Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”. 28. Why do some people engage in performative reading? A. To popularize book clubs. B. To promote reading habits. C. To improve their social image. D. To stress the importance of literature. 29. What does the underlined word “voracious” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Slow. B. Eager. C. Selective. D. Occasional. 30. What risk does turning books into accessories create? A. Online reading could take over. B. Physical book sales will decline. C. Book clubs may become exclusive. D. Meaningful content might get sidelined. 31. According to Demopoulos, those who read in public should be . A. urged to read privately B. guided to select better materials C. discouraged from posting online D. respected without direct intervention 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论“表演性阅读”现象，指出人们为展示形象而读书，且社交媒体加剧此风。虽可能影响书籍质量，但也带动销量。文章最后指出应用正确的方式对待“表演性阅读”的人。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s known as “performative reading” as the “reader” wants “everyone to know” they read, wrote Alaina Demopoulos in The Guardian. They’re signalling they have the “taste and attention span” to “pick up a physical book”.(Alaina Demopoulos在《卫报》上写道，这被称为“表演性阅读”，因为“阅读的人”希望“每个人都知道”他们在阅读。他们表示，他们有“品味和注意力持续时间”来“拿起一本实体书”)”可知，一些人进行“表演性阅读”是为了提升自己的社会形象，想让别人知道他们有品味和注意力来阅读一本实体书。故选C。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“And when reading becomes a competition, with “countless users showing off” about having read more than 35 books in a single month, supposedly, quality takes a backseat to “demonstrating yourself to be a voracious ‘reader’.”(当阅读成为一种竞争，“无数用户炫耀”自己在一个月里读了35本以上的书时，据说，质量让位于“展示自己是一个voracious ‘读者’”)”可知，无数人炫耀自己在一个月内读了35本书以上，以此表达自己是一个求知欲强的读者。由此猜测划线词意为“有求知欲的”，与eager“热切的”意思相近。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第三段中“What is new is the “uniquely unapologetic” way social media “rubber-stamps” the idea of books as “an accessory, rather than an art”. And there’s a danger it could lead to publishers focusing their efforts on books that are “feed-friendly”.(新的变化在于，社交媒体以一种“全然不加掩饰”的方式“认可”了书籍是“一种配饰而非艺术品”这一观念。而这其中存在一种风险，即可能导致出版商将精力集中在那些“适合社交平台展示”的书籍上)”可知，将书籍转变为配饰可能导致出版商将精力集中在那些“适合社交平台展示”的书籍上，即书的内容可能被忽略。由此推知，这种情况可能导致有意义的内容被边缘化。故选D。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Many people are still doing exactly that, so rather than “finger-wagging” about performative reading, next time you see someone with a book at a coffee shop or the park, just leave them alone, because “this is not for you”, they’re simply “enjoying the moment”.(很多人仍在这样做，所以与其对“表演性阅读”指手画脚，下次在咖啡馆或公园看到有人拿着书时，就别打扰他们了，因为“这与你无关”，他们只是在“享受当下”)”推知，根据Demopoulos的观点，那些在公共场合阅读的人应该得到尊重而不是直接干预，因为“这与你无关”且他们只是在“享受当下”。故选D。 D Anyone who has taken a standardized test knows that writing an essay in 20 minutes or less takes serious brain power. Having access to artificial intelligence (AI) would certainly lighten the mental load. But as a recent study by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) suggests, that help may come at a cost. Over the course of a series of essay-writing sessions, students working with as well as without an AI chatbot had their brain activity measured. Across the board, the AI users exhibited markedly lower brain activity in areas associated with creative functions and attention. Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. Moreover, generative-AI tools clearly seek to lighten people’s mental loads, as many other technologies do. Concerns about this kind of offloading aren’t new. As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion(神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. There is little evidence to suggest that letting machines handle users’ mental tasks alters the brain’s capacity for thinking. But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” The technology is so young that, for many tasks, the human brain is still the sharpest tool in the toolkit. But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AI makes people less intelligent, will they care? 32. What does paragraph 3 emphasize about the MIT study? A. The procedures it followed. B. The limitations in its design. C. The conclusion it has drawn. D. The diversity among its participants. 33. According to Socrates, what negative consequence could writing have? A. People would avoid using reminders. B. People would stop thinking independently. C. People would rely less on their own memory. D. People would care less about the spoken word. 34. What point does the user’s remark in paragraph 5 illustrate? A. AI can change users’ mental capacity. B. AI is not widely available to the public. C. AI can encourage users’ mental laziness. D. AI is not capable of solving every problem. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Will AI Make You Stupid? B. How AI Lets You Offload Tasks C. Why AI Affects Your Thinking Abilities D. Is AI a Mental Shortcut You Can Easily Quit? 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。MIT研究表明，使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低，但长期影响未知。虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力，但需权衡其利弊。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task. (从长远来看，人工智能是否会让人类的大脑变弱，这仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。这项研究背后的研究人员强调，需要进一步的工作来确定人工智能使用量增加与大脑功能减弱之间的明确因果关系。毕竟，这项研究的样本量很小，而且只关注一个单一的任务)”可知，第三段主要强调了MIT研究设计的局限——样本量很小，且只关注一个单一的任务。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As long ago as the 5th century BC, Socrates was quoted as complaining that writing is not “a potion (神药) for remembering, but for reminding”. Calculators spare cashiers from computing a bill. Navigation apps remove the need for map-reading. And yet few would argue that people are less capable as a result. (早在公元前5世纪，苏格拉底就曾抱怨说，写作不是“记忆的药水，而是提醒的药水”。计算器使收银员不必计算账单。导航应用免去了看地图的需要。然而，很少有人会认为人们的能力因此而下降)”可知，根据苏格拉底的说法，写作的消极结果是人们更少依赖自己的记忆。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“But the worry is that generative AI allows one to offload a thought process. And once the brain has developed a taste for offloading, it can be a hard habit to kick. As one user put it, “I rely so much on AI that I don’t think I’d know how to solve certain problems without it.” (但令人担忧的是，生成式人工智能允许人们卸载思维过程。而且，一旦大脑养成了“卸载”的习惯，就很难改掉了。正如一位用户所说，“我太依赖人工智能了，如果没有它，我不知道如何解决某些问题。”)”可知，该用户的话表明AI可能会助长用户的思维惰性。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第三段“Whether AI will leave people’s brains weak in the long term remains an open question. Researchers behind this study have stressed that further work is needed to establish a definitive causal link between elevated AI use and weakened brains. After all, the study had a tiny sample size and focused on a single narrow task.

But in time both the consumers of AI and its regulators will have to assess whether its wider benefits outweigh any cognitive (认知) costs. If stronger evidence emerges that AImakes people less intelligent, will they care? (这项技术是如此年轻，以至于在许多任务中，人类的大脑仍然是工具包中最锋利的工具。但随着时间的推移，人工智能的消费者和监管机构都将不得不评估其更广泛的好处是否超过任何认知成本。如果有更有力的证据表明人工智能会让人变得更不聪明，他们会在意吗?)”可知，文章主要介绍MIT 研究表明，使用AI写作文的学生在创造力和注意力相关脑区活动显著降低，虽无证据显示AI 改变大脑思考能力，但需权衡其利弊。因此A项“AI会使你变笨吗?”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。 第二节（共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Picture your dream living room. You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café? ____36____ , and researchers say it can influence your wellbeing. In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves. ____37____ . With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.Noise pollution can lead to heightened stress levels and a higher risk of disease in humans. Not only that, it can affect the behaviour and life cycles of species which rely on sound. So, what can be done? ____38____ In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built“superblocks”,where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised. A 2025BMC Public Health article reported that people in these areas experienced improved well-being,better sleep quality, and reduced noise. Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy. ____39____ . England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers. ____40____ . But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too. A. Urban design is one trick. B. Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century. C. Personal mindfulness may silence the chaos outside. D. This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape. E. Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter. F. In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport. G. Noise is an essential part of the soundscape in most environments. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. A 39. F 40. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章先介绍音景及对健康的影响，指出如今音景受噪音污染，接着给出城市设计、树木缓冲带等降噪方法，强调减少噪音对打造好音景很重要。 【36题详解】 根据前文“You’ re sitting on the sofa with the window open. What do you hear? Is it the sound of a flowing river? The hum from a nearby café?( 你坐在沙发上，窗户开着。你听到了什么？是河水流动的声音吗？附近咖啡馆的嗡嗡声？)”列举了“河流声、咖啡馆嗡嗡声”等具体声音，空格后提到“it can influence your wellbeing(它能影响你的健康)”此处“it”需指代前文的“多种声音的组合”。D 选项“This combination of sounds is referred to as a soundscape.( 这种声音的组合被称为音景)。”既承接了前文的声音列举，又为后文的“it”提供了指代对象，逻辑连贯。故选D项。 【37题详解】 根据前文“In times gone by, soundscapes would’ ve consisted of the sounds of nature, such as birdcalls and the sound of crashing waves.( 在过去，声景是由自然的声音组成的，比如鸟鸣和海浪撞击的声音。)”说“过去的音景由自然声音构成”，后文“With rapid urbanisation, air travel, construction, and traffic noises are now in the mix, and agricultural noise means that not even rural life is safe.( 随着快速的城市化，航空旅行、建筑和交通噪音现在都混杂在一起，农业噪音意味着即使是农村生活也不安全。)”则转折指出“城市化带来交通、建筑等噪音，甚至农村也受影响”。B选项“Sadly, that’s no longer the case in the 21st century.( 悲哀地，21 世纪情况已不再如此。)”恰好衔接“过去”与“现在”的对比，体现音景的变化，符合转折逻辑。故选B项。 【38题详解】 根据前文“So, what can be done?( 那么，我们能做些什么呢？)”提问“能做些什么来解决噪音污染”，后文“In Barcelona, Spain, city planners built “superblocks”, where traffic goes around big groups of buildings and the inner streets are pedestrianised.( 在西班牙的巴塞罗那，城市规划者建造了“超级街区”，在那里，交通绕过大型建筑群，内部街道是步行街。)”以巴塞罗那“超级街区”为例，说明城市规划对减少噪音的作用。A 选项“Urban design is one trick.( 城市设计是一种方法。)”直接回应前文的“解决方案”，并引出后文的城市规划案例，起到承上启下的作用。故选A项。 【39题详解】 根据前文“Other techniques include tree buffers, where trees are planted in urban areas to absorb sound energy.( 其他技术包括树木缓冲，在城市地区种植树木以吸收声波能量。)”提到“减少噪音的方法包括树木缓冲带”，后文“England has a vast network of hedgerows(树篱). And it turns out they make excellent sound barriers.( 英格兰有一个巨大的树篱网。事实证明，它们是很好的隔音屏障。)”又例举了英国“树篱作隔音屏障”的例子，空格处需补充另一个“隔音方法”的案例。F选项“In Germany, they have created earth banks next to the airport.( 在德国，人们在机场旁建造土堤。)”与“树木缓冲带”“树篱”并列，均为具体的隔音措施，符合“其他技巧”的列举逻辑。故选F项。 【40题详解】 根据后文“But cutting noise pollution is just as important, helping to create a soundscape that works for everyone. A better world isn’t just cleaner, but it should sound better too.( 但减少噪音污染同样重要，有助于创造一个适合每个人的音景。一个更好的世界不仅仅是更干净，而且听起来也应该更好。)”转折提到“但减少噪音污染同样重要”，说明空格处需提及另一个“改善环境的常见措施”，形成“（某措施）很重要，但噪音污染也重要”的对比。E选项“Improving our environment often starts with reducing litter.( 改善环境通常从减少垃圾开始。)”符合“常见环境措施”的定位，与后文的“噪音污染”构成并列，逻辑通顺。故选E项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Consisting of a gigantic yard, a wooded ravine (沟壑), and a small pond, the property where I grew up was a perfect place for seven boys.

Highly mobile, the chemicals leach (浸出) out of products and accumulate in the water system, food chain and human bodies, and take hundreds to thousands of years ____59____ (break) down, hence the name “forever chemicals”. “We’ve become so disengaged with the production side of clothing that we are no longer thinking about ____60____ is making that garment (服装) waterproof,” says Patrick Grant, an environmental scientist. “It’s not magic; it’s chemistry.” Among the companies leading the charge towards clean fashion ____61____ (be) Swedish brandFjällräven.
