I owe a young lady a letter.She wrote to me last week asking how I was,saying she was
fine and that she was 21 the dress we sent for her birthday.She even drew a picture of
herself wearing the dress.Then she wrote,"Please22."
I can't 23 the last time someone asked me to write back.We don't write letters
anymore.The 24 is gone;there's never anything good in the mail.We know what's in the
mail-advertisements and circulars.
When I was the same age as the young lady writing to me,my father took a new job.We
only moved 200 miles,but it felt like we had been 25 from friends,extended family and
all things familiar by two continents and an ocean.Long distance phone calls were 26 and
expensive then,most often 27 for emergencies or bad news.
But people wrote.Both of my grandmothers,and two of my great-aunts wrote to me.It was
special that someone took an interest in a28 kid.That someone would take the time to
put pen to 29 and share their lives and 30 about mine meant a lot.It would
mean a lot to anybody,31
I spent many a Sunday evening straining to32
thoughtful and well-written
letters."Dear Aunt Mary,How are you?I am fine.I hope you are the same."
My mother was a great letter writer.I looked forward to her letters when I left home,went
to college and then traveled across the country working newspaper jobs.When I married,had
children and moved again,still far from home,she wrote 33.Letters were a way of
34 the distance.
She was a natural storyteller.She could make a story about a35 gathering where

Killing Time,Not Your Mood:The Science Behind Better Queues
You are at the airport baggage claim.The flight was long,but the walk to the carousel was
short.Now you stand there,staring at the empty belt.Minutes tick by.You get frustrated.This
scenario illustrates a fundamental principle 41(discover)by airport executives in
Houston years ago.Passengers complained endlessly about the wait for luggage.In response,the
airport hired more handlers,successfully 42(reduce)the wait to eight minutes.
Surprisingly,complaints didn't stop.
The executives then tried a counter-intuitive approach:they moved the arrival gates
43
(far)away from the baggage claim,forcing passengers to walk six times longer to get
their bags.The actual wait time dropped to just two minutes.Complaints ceased.Why?Because
occupied time feels shorter than unoccupied time.
This falls 44 the domain of"The Psychology of Queuing,"a field pioneered by
researcher David Maister.His research suggests that the objective amount of time we wait matters
less than 45 we perceive that time.A major factor influencing this perception is anxiety

caused by uncertainty.This explains why ride-sharing apps show you the car moving on a map.
and why amusement parks display "Wait Time:45Minutes"signs.Knowing how long removes the
anxiety of the unknown,making the wait feel manageable.
46crucial element is fairness.Humans are social animals willing to wait,but we
can't stand 47 (cheat).The "First In,First Out"rule,48 guarantees that
everyone is served in the order they arrived,is the gold standard of social justice in queues and
deeply rooted in our sense of fairness.This explains the popularity of the "serpentine line"(*the
single winding line used at banks or fast-food counters*).Although it may look physically longer
than multiple parallel lines,it eliminates the stress of choosing the "wrong"slow line and makes
sure that no one 49(cut)in,satisfying our deep need for equity.
Ultimately,businesses have learned_
50
they cannot always reduce the
mathematical wait time,they can engineer the experience of waiting.By keeping us occupied,
informed,and treated fairly,they turn a painful delay into a tolerable pause.

Should Teenagers Be Banned from Social Media?
Debates over restricting teenagers'access to social media often begin with an apparent
contradiction.On the one hand,young people possess free-speech rights,and social media has
become the most visible arena for public expression.On the other,there is growing consensus that
social media causes real harm,particularly to children.The unresolved question,then,is not
whether social media is damaging,but how far a society committed to free expression should go
in limiting access to it in the name of protection.
Earlier attempts to resolve this tension,such as Utah's proposed age-verification law,
revealed the difficulty of translating parental concern into policy without overreaching.Requiring
government identification to access social platforms risked excluding not only minors but also
adults lacking official documents,effectively narrowing participation in the digital public square.
Civil-libertarian objections framed such measures as unacceptable intrusions on free expression,
and for a time,that argument appeared decisive.
Australia's recent Online Safety Amendment Act represents a more forceful intervention.
To participate in digital life,Australian citizens may now have to submit a fairly onerous series of
age verifications.By effectively banning children under sixteen from major social-media
platforms and imposing staggering fines on noncompliant companies,the law shifts responsibility
from families to the state.Yet public reaction to the law reveals a paradox.Although a large
majority of adults support the ban,many doubt its effectiveness,and even fewer parents intend to
enforce it strictly at home.Early reports suggest that children are already finding ways to
circumvent age-verification systems,highlighting the limits of technological enforcement.
What seems most likely is not total compliance but a partial cultural shift.The law may
function less as an airtight prohibition than as a signal of changing norms.We are currently
witnessing a"politics of attention"where society can no longer remain neutral on what it means to
live a digital life well.Increasingly,technology is seen as a powerful force that shapes attention,
behavior,and values,often in ways misaligned with human well-being.This development is also
reflected in what might be called a "quiet revolution-not simply a change in policy,but a
deeper moral realignment.This quiet revolution is already visible in school districts across the U.S
试卷第5页,共12页
that have banned smartphones from classrooms.The growing suspicion toward smartphones and
social platforms thus signals the emergence of a new national morality,one that questions whether
constant connectivity truly serves a good life.
Crucially,this moral shift is not limited to concerns about children.Anxiety over teenagers'
phone use masks a broader unease with adult lives that have become fragmented,relentlessly
scheduled,and dominated by digital demands.A truly flourishing digital life requires a shift in
norms for adults as well as children.If society cannot move away from private technology
companies that incentivize cheap engagement,any rules dictated for the next generation will
remain compromised.The challenge lies in rediscovering what to do with our newfound,offline
time.
51.According to the passage,what was a major concern regarding Utah's proposed
age-verification law?
A.It would have failed to reduce teenagers'use of social media in practice.
B.It risked restricting access to online expression for adults as well as minors.
C.It placed excessive financial pressure on social-media companies.
D.It conflicted with parental authority by transferring decision-making power to the state.
52.What paradox surrounding Australia's Online Safety Amendment Act does the author
highlight?
A.The law enjoys political support but faces opposition from technology companies.
B.Public approval of the law exists alongside doubts about its real-world enforcement.
C.Parents support the law in principle but find it hard to enforce it at home.
D.The law's strict design contrasts with the ease of bypassing them by minors
53.Which of the following best explains what the author means by the"quiet revolution"in the
fourth paragraph?
A.A gradual tightening of government regulations that aims to strictly control teenagers
access to digital technology.
B.A temporary reaction to smartphone overuse that will fade with the adaptation to new
digital norms.
C.A public backlash driven mainly by schools and parents against the economic power of
tech companies.
D.A widespread shift in social values that redefines how technology should be used in
everyday life
54.What position is the author most likely to take on current efforts to restrict teenagers'access to
social media?
A.They are meaningful mainly as part of a broader shift in social norms,especially when
accompanied by changes in adult behavior.
B.They function primarily as policy instruments intended to weaken the commercial
dominance of technology companies over public attention.
C.They largely reflect short-term public concern and moral unease,with limited potential to
reshape long-term social values.
D.They are best understood as measures that should rely more on parental guidance and
household rules than on institutional intervention

Courts in the United States now rely heavily on scientific evidence and expert testimony(i
)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 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.
55.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.
56.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.
57.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).

Of course Polly had been introduced to Art as an infant.Of course the local school provided
her-indiscriminately,as it did all children-with paint and clay and crayons,and she had made,
as all children make,representations of her home and family -triangular-shaped father and
mother holding hands,box-shaped brother in outsized shorts standing apart-as well as of daisies
in a vase,and even a funny-looking teacup or two,each of them intensely satisfying for a day or
two,then desperately unsatisfying from then on.
But what Miss Abigail at the camp introduced her to was Real Art:in her whispery,bubbly,
disquieting voice she had urged them to 'paint your dreams-show me what you dreamed last
night'.She had spaced the words,leaving great gaps for them to fill,and then sighed a replete sigh,
as one might when overcome by swirls of opium (H),when Polly presented a particularly
shocking or mysterious painting-headless figures in shades of purple appearing on the surface
of a lake with large,many-pointed stars shining down on them out of a streaky sky.
For the sake of that narrowing of green cat's eyes,that slow exhalation of breath that spoke
such volumes,and simply for the sake of staying close to that charmingly scented young woman
with her flowing red hair and flowing purple dresses,Polly dedicated the summer to paint,letting
others canoe,shoot arrows,roast marshmallows or run around working up a sweat.
She came home reluctantly,with her paintings rolled up into an impressively long roll-
Miss Abigail had insisted she always use large sheets of thick paper for her art.The family had
been faintly surprised by what she spread out on the dining table for them;they turned to her with
quizzical looks and remarks,making her roll them up again in offended annoyance,and carry
them up to the attic()where she spread them out along with all her painting equipment.She
was determined to find herself a tie-dyed skirt,wear her hair loose,not in tight painful pigtails any
more,and spend the rest of the summer drawing long strokes of purple paint across sheets of paper,
humming the sad tunes Miss Abigail had hummed at the camp.
It was then that she discovered she could sail through the green leaves and the yellow air
and be the artist without having to go through the sticky steps required by actual painting.Truth be
told,she had no distinct memory of any of Miss Abigail's paintings,only of her loose hair,the
long skirts,the whispering voice.She became convinced that art was not so much a matter of
painting as of being an artist.
