Maybe children ____5____ (raise)in the 21st century wouldn’t be interested in an old lady’s talking about an old quilt, but I wanted to pass along this piece of family history.

Carbon labels should be an easy way of ____11____ products or services to see which are most sustainable at a glance, by providing a comprehensive, numbered footprint. Increasing numbers of businesses across a variety of sectors are getting onboard with the idea. For example, in the last month alone, exercise tracking app Strava announced a new tool to ___12___ carbon savings from going for runs, walks, cycles and e-bike rides. But perhaps one of the industries in which the concept could be most complicated is travel. It is one of the most carbon-intensive recreational activities any of us will ever take, and one for which the majority of us have ____13____ ideas of the impact. If you break it all down,which is really worse: an all-inclusive cruise round the Bahamas? Or a trip to an eco-lodge in Costa Rica that involves a 24-hour round-trip on a plane? As an ordinary individual, it feels like an impossible task to figure out if one holiday is “better”than another. Many a pioneering ____14____ started doing the hard work of measuring the impact of trips, down to the smallest element, and posting the results on their packages several years ago.

Pura Aventura, ____17____ in holidays to Latin America, Spain and Portugal, wasn’t far behind, though with a different slant.” The complexity we have is that all our trips are ____18____ -so we can’t say we’ve got 50 trips and let’s measure the carbon of each one,“said co-founder and CEO Thomas Power.” Every trip is different. You need a ____19____ tool — so we built it into our database.“ The company doesn’t just measure the trip itself, but includes the travel to get there, door-to-door: ”We want to know where you live, where the airport is, which flight you’re taking,“says Thomas.”We can ____20____ into the database your postcode, Gatwick airport, your short-haul flight-and then the carbon factor calculates the journey and the amount of carbon produced. III. Reading Comprehension Section A(15’) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People believe that having pets is overall a good thing for children. But does this belief hold up to ___21___? The new field of human-animal interaction aims to find out. Ten years ago, when psychologist Joan Smith reviewed the literature on child-animal relationships, she reported that interacting with animals led young children to better understand biology than pet-less children. Kindergartners who had cared for goldfish were more ___22___ when responding to questions like “Does a goldfish have a heart?” They also more easily ___23___ biological information from one species to another, inferring that baby frogs get bigger just like goldfish do. She also reports that those kids who turned to their pets for emotional support were less ___24___ than these who didn’t. The past ten years have seen some advances, but literature on the topic is still rather ___25___. A recent paper by researcher Meg Brown at Lakeside University ___26___ some important information to the discussion. She turned to a data-set that includes information from 7, 000 kids, ranging in ___27___ from thirteen to nineteen years. For the study, both pet owning and other types of ___28___ activities, like horseback riding, were considered as human-animal interaction experience. She found that adolescents with animal experience were more likely to see themselves as important ___29___ to their communities, such as doing community service. She also found that the higher the level of ____30____ between a teenager and animals, the higher they scored on measurements of emotional connectedness in general. While causality(因果关系) cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least ____31____ that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals. “If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships, then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to ____32____ the development of social skills,” she says. Brown is aware of the limitations of her study. It can’t reach any conclusions about the causal role of animals in kids’ lives, and it’s limited to ____33____ nationwide. Besides, the study was not designed to ____34____ any potential negative effects of human-animal interaction experiences. Some other studies, for example, have shown that pet owners have higher levels of ____35____, like depression, than non-pet owners. 21.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) A friend living in St. Thomas recently marked herself “safe” on social media for the second time in two weeks. She was safe in only the most critical sense that she was alive. Her home and her business had been reduced to broken bricks. Puerto Rico has been destroyed by hurricanes. Last month, hundreds died in Mexican earthquakes. Hurricane Irma hit the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Florida Keys, and laid waste to Barbuda. Harvey devastated parts of Texas. Fifteen separate fires have turned thousands of Northern California homes and businesses to dust and smoked out neighboring cities. Closer to us, the Anaheim Hills fire has laid waste to nearly 6,000 acres. That number will be higher tomorrow. And about tomorrow: what might it bring? A swarm of locusts (蝗虫)? My friend referred to “natural” or “man-made” disasters as distinct phenomena. Certainly, “natural”disasters and “man-made” disasters long preceded (先于) the industrial revolution. But unprecedented hurricanes and wildfires are not simply the hand of God or nature — they are also the hand of man and his machines, which create conditions in which such natural disasters can spark and spread. Meanwhile, wars are often fought over or worsened by a scarcity of natural resources. “Natural” and “man-made”are now more like a Venn diagram than two separate circles which orbit each other. There is little comfort or clarity to be found in this knit space; the feeling is closer to dread. Our best hope may be to stay kind to ourselves and others, to acknowledge that we will fight and break a little easier, to hold those troubled by catastrophe (灾难) in our thoughts and not turn away from them, to remember that — as much as our minds might want to deny it — we too will need help. Climate change will harm us personally; it will harm our successors, those we love; that person on the news today, covered in debris or wading (跋涉) through water, may well be us tomorrow. It’s a mean truth, but there’s compassion to be obtained from it. Disaster, if we let it, can teach us that we who have not yet suffered are not untouchable; we are not special; we are lucky. And luck runs out. 36. Some factual examples are used to illustrate natural disasters in the first three paragraphs EXCEPT ________. A. fires in Northern California B. earthquakes in Mexico C. hurricanes in Puerto Rico D. locusts in parts of Texas 37. What does the author think of natural and man-made disasters? A. Earthquakes, floods, wildfires and other disasters are simply the call of God. B. Natural and man-made disasters are disturbingly interconnected with each other. C. There is scarcely a connection between the circles of “natural” and “man-made”. D. The hand of man and his machines didn’t spark wars until the industrial revolution. 38. In face of disasters, the author maintains that hopefully we might ________. A. realize we humans are unlikely to beat B. turn away from environmental protection C. extend our compassion to disaster victims D. stay informed of news about catastrophes 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. What Natural Disasters Can Teach Us B. We Are Running Out of Luck in Nature C. The Countdown to a Catastrophic Disaster D. Climate Change Harms All Beings Equally (B) Colors are undeniably a fundamental part of our lives. Yet they carry meanings far beyond mere shades — they are deeply symbolic. Across many cultures, and particularly in the practice of Feng Shui, colors are associated with the five foundational elements that compose the universe: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. This connection is given special significance because each of the eight directions — North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest — is governed by one of these five elements. Therefore, colors, as South representations of the elements, can be purposefully used to influence and harmonize the energy of a particular space or direction. Understanding the role of color in Feng Shui is not only about aesthetics (美学); it reflects a broader global awareness of how color interacts with environment and energy. But remember, while these systems offer symbolic guidance, true harmony begins with listening to your own feelings and taking action in your own space. 40. Which diagram correctly represents the relationship among colors, directions and elements? A. B. C. D. 41. David has recently been feeling stuck in his promotion progress and lacks new opportunities. Which of the following adjustments would be most suitable for him? A. Using a red desk lamp on his south facing desk. B. Placing a green plant in the east part of his living room. C. Displaying a black vase in the north area of his home office. D. Hanging a white metal clock in the west corner or his workspace. 42. Placing a silver frame mirror in the Northwest area of your home is most suitable for someone wishes to________. A. ensure safe and smooth journeys abroad B. support the growth and creativity of children C. enhance family unity and solve domestic conflicts D. improve wisdom and deepen academic knowledge (C) Have you ever felt out of place at a party or profoundly misunderstood by a colleague, friend, or partner? This feeling of being unable to communicate your intended information is what psychologist Carl Jung referred to when he said that loneliness comes not from being alone, but from being “unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness. Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share “the richer mental aspects” of one’s life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person’s unique cognitive world — formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests — finds no echo in others. This is the profound frustration of being mentally “all dressed up but with nowhere to go”. A musician composing a new piece, an educator polishing their teaching philosophy, or a researcher analyzing groundbreaking data all risk this loneliness when their intellectual excitement is met with disinterest from those around them. The frustration of such intellectual divorce is profound, yet a genuine connection is possible. For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds, cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening. This is not to say that being cognitively connected with others is the only fix to this type of loneliness. Everyone has thoughts, stories, and experiences to share, and as both a nonprofessional and a helping professional, I am happy to hear them. But not everyone in our lives is willing or able to share their thoughts in response to ours. Therefore, a like-minded other, or someone who “gets” it or “gets” us, goes a long way toward eliminating this specific kind of loneliness. Jung’s insight points the way forward: we must seek out those moments where we can speak about what matters most to us and, in doing so, be seen and known for who we are. Ultimately, dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness. 43. According to the passage, which of the following best describes “epistemic loneliness”? A. The frustration of failing to express complex thoughts clearly. B. The inability to share intellectual life with receptive audience. C. The objective condition of having no one to communicate with. D. The emotional distress caused by a lack of shared social identity. 44. Why does the author mention the conversation with the English professor? A. To contrast academic dialogue with everyday conversation. B. To advocate for structured solutions to intellectual isolation. C. To highlight the scarcity of genuine intellectual connections. D. To illustrate how shared backgrounds eases social loneliness. 45. The metaphor of “dancing in dialogue” is used to suggest that meaningful communication __________. A. is a mutually responsive and adaptive exchange B. depends more on one party’s expressive skills C. functions like a performance for passive audiences D. benefits from established conversational patterns 46. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To contrast social isolation with psychological loneliness. B. To analyze the philosophical origins of Carl Jung’s theories. C. To define a type of loneliness and explore ways to address it. D. To promote the professional methods of psychological consulting. Section C(8’) Directions: Read the following passage.

In addition, Disney partnered with China Eastern Airlines on a “Zootopia 2” themed plane.

We need some fresh blood on our school's football team, the best in the district. And we would like to have the participation of those who think in our way. Ideally, you should have at least some football skills or, at least, not have two left feet. First and foremost, however, you should have commitment. You cannot pick and choose which practice sessions you will attend and which you will not. You have to attend them all. Come rain or shine, if you are going to be good enough to play for the school team. Furthermore, while you are at the practice session you should be prepared to give it your all. We need enthusiastic players who are willing to train hard in order to be fighting fit and in top form. For your health, you should consider taking more physical exercise rather than be content to play computer games all day long. There have been many medical reports recently which have stressed the importance of young people getting more exercise. Football is an excellent and enjoyable way of doing so. The thoughts of some of you might be focused on post-school classes and rightly so. However, it is often not enough to have good academic results in order to impress people with your CV (个人简历) . After-school activities are also of great importance.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. People believe that having pets is overall a good thing for children. But does this belief hold up to ___21___? The new field of human-animal interaction aims to find out. Ten years ago, when psychologist Joan Smith reviewed the literature on child-animal relationships, she reported that interacting with animals led young children to better understand biology than pet-less children. Kindergartners who had cared for goldfish were more ___22___ when responding to questions like “Does a goldfish have a heart?” They also more easily ___23___ biological information from one species to another, inferring that baby frogs get bigger just like goldfish do. She also reports that those kids who turned to their pets for emotional support were less ___24___ than these who didn’t. The past ten years have seen some advances, but literature on the topic is still rather ___25___. A recent paper by researcher Meg Brown at Lakeside University ___26___ some important information to the discussion. She turned to a data-set that includes information from 7, 000 kids, ranging in ___27___ from thirteen to nineteen years. For the study, both pet owning and other types of ___28___ activities, like horseback riding, were considered as human-animal interaction experience. She found that adolescents with animal experience were more likely to see themselves as important ___29___ to their communities, such as doing community service. She also found that the higher the level of ____30____ between a teenager and animals, the higher they scored on measurements of emotional connectedness in general. While causality(因果关系) cannot be determined, Brown says that it is at least ____31____ that children and adolescents can learn about healthy social relationships from their experiences of interacting with animals. “If a connection exists between the skills required for these relationships, then it might be useful to make use of animal relationships as a way to ____32____ the development of social skills,” she says. Brown is aware of the limitations of her study. It can’t reach any conclusions about the causal role of animals in kids’ lives, and it’s limited to ____33____ nationwide. Besides, the study was not designed to ____34____ any potential negative effects of human-animal interaction experiences.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) A friend living in St. Thomas recently marked herself “safe” on social media for the second time in two weeks. She was safe in only the most critical sense that she was alive. Her home and her business had been reduced to broken bricks. Puerto Rico has been destroyed by hurricanes. Last month, hundreds died in Mexican earthquakes. Hurricane Irma hit the U.S. Virgin Islands and the Florida Keys, and laid waste to Barbuda. Harvey devastated parts of Texas. Fifteen separate fires have turned thousands of Northern California homes and businesses to dust and smoked out neighboring cities. Closer to us, the Anaheim Hills fire has laid waste to nearly 6,000 acres. That number will be higher tomorrow. And about tomorrow: what might it bring? A swarm of locusts (蝗虫)? My friend referred to “natural” or “man-made” disasters as distinct phenomena. Certainly, “natural”disasters and “man-made” disasters long preceded (先于) the industrial revolution. But unprecedented hurricanes and wildfires are not simply the hand of God or nature — they are also the hand of man and his machines, which create conditions in which such natural disasters can spark and spread. Meanwhile, wars are often fought over or worsened by a scarcity of natural resources. “Natural” and “man-made”are now more like a Venn diagram than two separate circles which orbit each other. There is little comfort or clarity to be found in this knit space; the feeling is closer to dread. Our best hope may be to stay kind to ourselves and others, to acknowledge that we will fight and break a little easier, to hold those troubled by catastrophe (灾难) in our thoughts and not turn away from them, to remember that — as much as our minds might want to deny it — we too will need help. Climate change will harm us personally; it will harm our successors, those we love; that person on the news today, covered in debris or wading (跋涉) through water, may well be us tomorrow. It’s a mean truth, but there’s compassion to be obtained from it. Disaster, if we let it, can teach us that we who have not yet suffered are not untouchable; we are not special; we are lucky. And luck runs out. 36. Some factual examples are used to illustrate natural disasters in the first three paragraphs EXCEPT ________. A. fires in Northern California B. earthquakes in Mexico C. hurricanes in Puerto Rico D. locusts in parts of Texas 37. What does the author think of natural and man-made disasters? A. Earthquakes, floods, wildfires and other disasters are simply the call of God. B. Natural and man-made disasters are disturbingly interconnected with each other. C. There is scarcely a connection between the circles of “natural” and “man-made”. D. The hand of man and his machines didn’t spark wars until the industrial revolution. 38. In face of disasters, the author maintains that hopefully we might ________. A. realize we humans are unlikely to beat B. turn away from environmental protection C. extend our compassion to disaster victims D. stay informed of news about catastrophes 39. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. What Natural Disasters Can Teach Us B. We Are Running Out of Luck in Nature C. The Countdown to a Catastrophic Disaster D. Climate Change Harms All Beings Equally 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. C 39. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了自然灾害和人为灾害之间的联系，以及灾难给我们的启示。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Puerto Rico has been destroyed by hurricanes.(波多黎各被飓风摧毁了。)”、“Last month, hundreds died in Mexican earthquakes.(上个月，数百人在墨西哥地震中丧生。)”和“Fifteen separate fires have turned thousands of Northern California homes and businesses to dust and smoked out neighboring cities.(十五起接连发生的火灾将北加州数千栋住宅与商铺化为灰烬，浓烟笼罩了邻近城市。)”可知，前三段中提到了波多黎各的飓风、墨西哥的地震和北加州的大火，但没有提到德克萨斯州部分地区的蝗虫。故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, wars are often fought over or worsened by a scarcity of natural resources. “Natural” and “man-made” are now more like a Venn diagram than two separate circles which orbit each other. There is little comfort or clarity to be found in this knit space; the feeling is closer to dread.(与此同时，战争往往因自然资源稀缺而爆发或加剧。“自然”和“人为”现在更像是一个维恩图，而不是两个相互环绕的独立圆圈。在这个交织的空间里，几乎找不到安慰或清晰；这种感觉更接近于恐惧。)”可知，作者认为自然灾害和人为灾害是相互交织、相互关联的，它们之间有着令人不安的联系。故选B。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our best hope may be to stay kind to ourselves and others, to acknowledge that we will fight and break a little easier, to hold those troubled by catastrophe (灾难) in our thoughts and not turn away from them, to remember that — as much as our minds might want to deny it — we too will need help.(我们最大的希望可能是对自己和他人保持友善，承认我们会更容易地挣扎和崩溃，把那些受灾难困扰的人放在心里，不要远离他们，记住——尽管我们的思想可能想要否认这一点——我们也需要帮助。)”可知，作者认为在面对灾难时，我们应该对受灾者表示同情和关心，不要远离他们，而是要给予帮助和支持。故选C。 【39题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Disaster, if we let it, can teach us that we who have not yet suffered are not untouchable; we are not special; we are lucky. And luck runs out.(灾难，如果我们允许的话，可以教会我们，那些尚未遭受苦难的人并不是不可触及的；我们并不特别；我们很幸运。而运气是会耗尽的。)”可知，文章主要讨论了自然灾害和人为灾害之间的联系，以及灾难给我们的启示，即灾难可以教会我们一些东西，让我们更加珍惜和感恩我们所拥有的一切。因此，A项“What Natural Disasters Can Teach Us(自然灾害能教会我们什么)”最符合文章主旨。故选A。 (B) Colors are undeniably a fundamental part of our lives. Yet they carry meanings far beyond mere shades — they are deeply symbolic. Across many cultures, and particularly in the practice of Feng Shui, colors are associated with the five foundational elements that compose the universe: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water, and Wood. This connection is given special significance because each of the eight directions — North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest — is governed by one of these five elements. Therefore, colors, as South representations of the elements, can be purposefully used to influence and harmonize the energy of a particular space or direction. Understanding the role of color in Feng Shui is not only about aesthetics (美学); it reflects a broader global awareness of how color interacts with environment and energy. But remember, while these systems offer symbolic guidance, true harmony begins with listening to your own feelings and taking action in your own space. 40. Which diagram correctly represents the relationship among colors, directions and elements? A. B. C. D. 41. David has recently been feeling stuck in his promotion progress and lacks new opportunities. Which of the following adjustments would be most suitable for him? A. Using a red desk lamp on his south facing desk. B. Placing a green plant in the east part of his living room. C. Displaying a black vase in the north area of his home office. D. Hanging a white metal clock in the west corner or his workspace. 42. Placing a silver frame mirror in the Northwest area of your home is most suitable for someone wishes to________. A. ensure safe and smooth journeys abroad B. support the growth and creativity of children C. enhance family unity and solve domestic conflicts D. improve wisdom and deepen academic knowledge 【答案】40. A 41. B 42. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了颜色在风水学中的重要意义及其与五行、方位的关系。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“This connection is given special significance because each of the eight directions — North, South, East, West, Northeast, Northwest, Southeast, and Southwest — is governed by one of these five elements. Therefore, colors, as South representations of the elements, can be purposefully used to influence and harmonize the energy of a particular space or direction.(这种关联被赋予了特殊意义，因为八个方位（北、南、东、西、东北、西北、东南、西南）中的每一个都由这五种元素之一所支配。因此，颜色作为元素的代表，可以被有目的地用来影响并协调特定空间或方位的能量。)”可知：元素支配方位，颜色代表元素，颜色影响方位，对应选项A的逻辑关系。故选A。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据图片可知：东方（East）：Quality: Family（属性：家庭/成长），Element: Wood（元素：木），Color: Green（颜色：绿色）。木元素象征成长、新机遇，绿色是其代表色。分析：David 职场晋升停滞、缺乏新机遇，需要成长与机遇的能量。东方方位的木元素（绿色）恰好对应成长与新机会的寓意。B（东方绿色植物）：东方属木，绿色对应木，象征成长与新机遇，符合需求。故选B。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据图中信息，Northwest（西北方）的 Element 为 Metal（金），银色边框镜子属于金属制品，而西方（West）属性为 Children（子女），西北方在风水里常对应旅行、出行与贵人运，金属元素对应出行的顺遂与安全。结合选项，A 选项 “确保出国旅行安全顺利” 符合西北方金属元素的象征意义（金元素也关联出行、旅途的安稳）。根据图中 “West: Quality: Children; Element: Metal; Color: White（西方：属性为子女；元素为金；颜色为白色）” 及西北方属金的延伸寓意可知，放置银色镜子适合希望出行平安的人。故选A。 (C) Have you ever felt out of place at a party or profoundly misunderstood by a colleague, friend, or partner? This feeling of being unable to communicate your intended information is what psychologist Carl Jung referred to when he said that loneliness comes not from being alone, but from being “unable to communicate the things that seem important to you.” While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness. Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share “the richer mental aspects” of one’s life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person’s unique cognitive world — formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests — finds no echo in others. This is the profound frustration of being mentally “all dressed up but with nowhere to go”. A musician composing a new piece, an educator polishing their teaching philosophy, or a researcher analyzing groundbreaking data all risk this loneliness when their intellectual excitement is met with disinterest from those around them. The frustration of such intellectual divorce is profound, yet a genuine connection is possible. For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds, cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening. This is not to say that being cognitively connected with others is the only fix to this type of loneliness. Everyone has thoughts, stories, and experiences to share, and as both a nonprofessional and a helping professional, I am happy to hear them. But not everyone in our lives is willing or able to share their thoughts in response to ours. Therefore, a like-minded other, or someone who “gets” it or “gets” us, goes a long way toward eliminating this specific kind of loneliness. Jung’s insight points the way forward: we must seek out those moments where we can speak about what matters most to us and, in doing so, be seen and known for who we are. Ultimately, dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness. 43. According to the passage, which of the following best describes “epistemic loneliness”? A. The frustration of failing to express complex thoughts clearly. B. The inability to share intellectual life with receptive audience. C. The objective condition of having no one to communicate with. D. The emotional distress caused by a lack of shared social identity. 44. Why does the author mention the conversation with the English professor? A. To contrast academic dialogue with everyday conversation. B. To advocate for structured solutions to intellectual isolation. C. To highlight the scarcity of genuine intellectual connections. D. To illustrate how shared backgrounds eases social loneliness. 45. The metaphor of “dancing in dialogue” is used to suggest that meaningful communication __________. A. is a mutually responsive and adaptive exchange B. depends more on one party’s expressive skills C. functions like a performance for passive audiences D. benefits from established conversational patterns 46. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To contrast social isolation with psychological loneliness. B. To analyze the philosophical origins of Carl Jung’s theories. C. To define a type of loneliness and explore ways to address it. D. To promote the professional methods of psychological consulting. 【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 46. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要阐释认知孤独并探讨缓解它的有效途径。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While such a failure to connect is sometimes owed to poor social skills, there are also other reasons. The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness.(虽然这种沟通上的隔阂有时是因为社交能力欠佳，但也存在其他原因。这种特殊的体验——尽管有能力分享自己的想法与经历，内心却感到疏离与孤独——被称为认知孤独)”及第三段中“Psychologists define epistemic loneliness as the inability to share “the richer mental aspects” of one’s life. To put it another way, it strikes when a person’s unique cognitive world — formed by their specific abilities and deep intellectual interests — finds no echo in others.(心理学家将认知孤独定义为：一个人无法分享自己生命中“更丰富的精神层面”。换句话说，当一个人由独特能力与深厚智识兴趣所构成的独特认知世界，在他人那里得不到共鸣时，这种孤独感便会袭来)”可知，认知孤独是指无法与有共鸣的听众分享智力生活。故选B。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“For instance, my conversation with an English professor proved to be resonant and meaningful. This published poet and pianist and I discussed the idea of making complex ideas and experiences something more easily understood by our students, clients, and readers. Because we built bridges to meet one another via shared experiences and backgrounds, cognitive isolation was not experienced that evening.(例如，我与一位英语教授的交谈就充满共鸣，意义非凡。这位既是出版诗人又是钢琴家的学者，和我一同探讨了如何让复杂的思想与经历更容易被学生、客户和读者理解。因为我们通过共同的经历和背景搭建了沟通的桥梁，那晚我并未感到认知上的孤独)”可知，作者提到与英语教授的对话是为了说明共同的背景如何缓解社交孤独。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Ultimately, dancing in dialogue is key. Having a fellow knower who is willing to meet you halfway and who knows some of the steps, or is interested in learning a few new ones, can reduce this type of loneliness.(归根结底，在对话中相伴共舞才是关键。拥有一位愿意与你相向而行、知晓其中一些舞步，或者有兴趣学习几个新舞步的知音，能够减轻这种孤独感)”可知，“对话共舞”这个比喻用来暗示有意义的交流是一种相互回应和适应的交流。故选A。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第二段中“The specific experience — of feeling separate and alone in one’s thoughts and experiences despite having the capacity to share them — is known as epistemic loneliness. (这种特殊的体验——尽管有能力分享自己的想法与经历，内心却感到疏离与孤独——被称为认知孤独)”可知，文章主要解释了认知孤独的定义，并通过举例说明和荣格的见解探讨了缓解认知孤独的方法。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是定义一种孤独并探索解决它的方法。故选C。 Section C(8’) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
