Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of 2023 as an intern (实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique (时装店) in Paris during the Haute Couture Week.
“I’ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains. “But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.”
Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.
“My dream is to develop creative industries starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities.
24. What initially influenced Asùkùlù Songolo’s career planning?
A. His Congolese refugee family background.
B. His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week.
C. His research on immigrant youth engagement.
D. His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age.
25. What made Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship?
A. The chance to attend Haute Couture Week.
B. Observing how his family members dressed.
C. The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique.
D Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds.
26. What is the main goal of Songolo’s brand, Luùndo?
A. To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing.
B. To become the most popular fashion brand globally.
C. To involve people in African culture through fashion.
D. To compete with major international fashion brands.
27. Which of the following can best describe Songolo?
A. Still waters run deep. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. One good turn deserves another. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone.
Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’ re in the midst of a bubble (泡沫). I call it “The More Bubble”.
The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy — it’s code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists.
These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working). They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.
So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.
28. When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she ________.
A. was unsatisfied with her lifestyle
B. was asking for suggestions
C. knew few people were like her
D. took pride in doing so
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The cause and result of “The More Bubble”.
B. The advantages of “The More Bubble”.
C. The solutions to “The More Bubble”.
D. The value of “The More Bubble”.
30. According to the text, Essentialists are those who _________.
A. prefer to change frequently
B. give up certain things for what matters in life
C. are tired of information and opinions
D. are eager to become successful and important
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards“The More Bubble”?
A. Supportive. B. Undecided. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
D
Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras.
32. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove.
33. What do we know about the smart shopping carts?
A. They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
34. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores?
A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B. It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales
B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market
D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ambivalence (矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being “on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” ___36___ Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life?
___37___ When we lack understanding about the uncertainty our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.”
A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. ___38___ You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time.
From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. ___39___
The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. ___40___ By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence.
A. And the opposite of that is also true.
B. It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence.
C. Thus, we’ll feel highly motivated to make the change.
D. Think about a kind of behavior you’ve been hesitant to change.
E. It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change.
F. Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change.
G. Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels.

After returning home, Xu learned about the shark trade ____43____ at one of Indonesia’s largest fish markets, on the island of Lombok. Shark parts including meat, cartilage (软骨) and teeth are cut up for export. The most prized are the fins, which ____44____ high prices.
Curious, Xu ____45____ her bags and headed to the fish market. There, she spoke with several fishermen. Shark fishing is ____46____ risky and involves hard physical work, but it is one of few ways for them to ____47____ for their families. “I told them I’d pay them to take ____48____ out to see these snorkelling havens,” she says.

In late 2012, Xu ____50____ her full-time job to focus on building The Dorsal Effect, an ecotourism business she hoped would help save the declining shark ____51____. In 2019, Xu found a female Rhynchobatus cooki, a relative of the shark. The species had not been seen for more than 20 years and was believed to be ____52____. The discovery gave scientists hope, and it could be ____53____ for an in-depth conservation study.
In the past decade, global demand for shark fins has ____54____ — a promising result of conservation campaigns. For now, Kathy, 41, is proud of the small changes she sees happening on Lombok, from the fishermen who now have a new way to ____55____ an income to the schoolchildren who learn about sharks on tours with The Dorsal Effect.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Uncle Li’s bookstore was a quiet island in the busy modern city. For many years, it had been a warm home for people who loved reading. The old wooden sign above the door read “Li’ s Books” in dark red letters. Time seemed to slow down the moment people opened a book there. Now, it was going to close.
The news made Tom, a quiet high school student who had grown up reading in the comfortable corners of the bookstore, feel very sad. He had spent many years reading in the cozy chairs of the shop. The smell of old paper felt like his own childhood, watching him grow up. He couldn’t imagine the street without the store’s warm, friendly light. When people in the neighborhood heard the news, everyone looked worried.
The reason for the closure was that a large development company had made a generous offer to buy the building for its potential as a trendy coffee house, a profitable upgrade. To the company, it was just business. Uncle Li was getting old and tired. He told Tom, “Maybe it’s time to let go. Young people today don’t read as much as before.” He sighed, resting his hand on an old storybook. “The World has moved on.”
On the last Saturday before closing, Tom came early. His bag was full of things he had kept from the store: a colorful bookmark he got at 10 years old, a receipt from his first book, and a photo of him and Uncle Li at a reading party. He picked up his favorite book,The Little Prince, from the shelf. Its cover was faded, but the pages were still in good shape. He saw Uncle Li was packing up everything.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Tom couldn’t let the store close — not without trying to change things.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With the help of the neighbors, Tom’s plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began.

【原文】Vincent van Gogh was a Dutch painter. He was born in Zundert, Netherlands in 1853. Growing up, van Gogh was very poor. In fact, he had to leave school to find work when he was only 15. His job was selling art from a London gallery. He didn’t start making his own paintings until 1880. Van Gogh painted often through the last decade of his life, but his struggles with mental illness made it difficult for him to work. In 1888, he cut off his own ear. A few months later, he decided to move into a psychiatric hospital so that he could recover. While living there, he made the iconic painting The Starry Night. Van Gogh’s work is very well-known today, but almost nobody knew his name when he was alive.

Camping — Yellowstone National Park

Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices. In the beginning, Songolo planned to study international relations at Stanford University with a focus on Africa, followed by law school and a potential career as a professor of African history. However, his career path took an unexpected turn after spending the summer of 2023 as an intern (实习生) at Marché Noir Lomé-Paris, a French fashion boutique (时装店) in Paris during the Haute Couture Week.
“I’ve always been interested in clothes. I admired how my parents, aunts, and uncles dressed, and I observed how people combined and matched different pieces,” Songolo explains. “But I never really saw fashion as a possible career. During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.”
Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career. The brand combines traditional cultural clothing with modern designs, ranging from casual wear to tailored suits and dresses. Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.
“My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.” His vision is to establish manufacturing in Congo and generate employment opportunities.
24. What initially influenced Asùkùlù Songolo’s career planning?
A. His Congolese refugee family background.
B. His experience at Paris Haute Couture Week.
C. His research on immigrant youth engagement.
D. His interest in clothes and fashion from a young age.
25. What made Songolo consider fashion as a career during his Paris internship?
A. The chance to attend Haute Couture Week.
B. Observing how his family members dressed.
C. The opportunity to work at a fashion boutique.
D. Seeing fashion bond people from diverse backgrounds.
26. What is the main goal of Songolo’s brand, Luùndo?
A. To focus only on traditional Congolese clothing.
B. To become the most popular fashion brand globally.
C. To involve people in African culture through fashion.
D. To compete with major international fashion brands.
27. Which of the following can best describe Songolo?
A. Still waters run deep. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. One good turn deserves another. D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述25岁的阿苏库卢・松戈洛受家庭背景影响最初规划的职业路径,因巴黎实习经历转向时尚领域,创立品牌并致力于推动非洲创意产业发展的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Born in Zambia and raised in Portland, 25-year-old Asùkùlù Songolo is the son of Congolese refugees — a background that, as he says, has deeply shaped his life choices.(25岁的阿苏库卢・松戈洛出生于赞比亚,在波特兰长大,他是刚果难民的儿子——正如他所说,这一背景深刻影响了他的人生选择)”可知,最初影响松戈洛职业规划的是他刚果难民的家庭背景。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“During Haute Couture Week, though, seeing people from diverse backgrounds all drawn to the same brand and viewing fashion as a unifying force made me reconsider.(然而,在高级定制时装周期间,看到不同背景的人都被同一个品牌吸引,并将时尚视为一种凝聚力量,这让我重新思考)”可知,松戈洛在巴黎实习期间考虑将时尚作为职业,是因为看到时尚能连接不同背景的人。故选D。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Many of his creations are inspired by Congolese aesthetics (美学), and he aims to create more opportunities for people to engage with African culture through fashion, describing Luùndo not just as a brand but as a celebration where people can express their identity and heritage with love.(他的许多作品都受到刚果美学的启发,他的目标是通过时尚为人们创造更多接触非洲文化的机会,他说Luùndo不仅是一个品牌,而且是一种庆祝活动,人们可以用爱来表达自己的身份和传统)”可知,松戈洛的品牌Luùndo的主要目标是通过时尚让人们接触非洲文化。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,并结合第三段中“Fast-forward three years, Songolo, who has launched his own brand, Luùndo, has fully committed to his fashion career.(三年后,松戈洛创立了自己的品牌Luùndo,全身心投入时尚事业)”,以及第四段中“My dream is to develop creative industries, starting in Congo and then expanding across Africa. By 2050, Africa is expected to have the largest youth population in the world, but I don’t think enough is being done to create jobs for them.(我的梦想是发展创意产业,从刚果开始,然后扩展到整个非洲。到2050年,非洲预计将拥有世界上最多的青年人口,但我认为在为他们创造就业机会方面做得还不够)”可知,他从最初的学术职业规划,转变方向并成功投身时尚领域,还拥有推动非洲产业发展的远大目标,体现出“有志者事竟成”的特质。故选D。
C
We have a problem, and the strange thing is that we not only know about it, but also celebrate it. Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone.
Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior? The answer is that we’ re in the midst of a bubble (泡沫). I call it “The More Bubble”.
The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.
This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing. In the process, we have been sold a bill of goods: that success means being supermen and superwomen who can get it all done. Of course, we boasted about being busy — it’s code for being successful and important.
And our answer to the problem of more is always more. We need more technology to help us create more technologies. We need to move our workload to free up our own time to do yet even more.
Luckily, there is a solution to asking for more: asking for less, but better. A growing number of people are making this change. I call these people Essentialists.
These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working). They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.
So we have two choices: We can be among the last people caught up in “The More Bubble”, or we can join the growing community of Essentialists and get more of what matters in our one precious life.
28. When the woman said she only slept for four hours a night for two weeks, she ________.
A. was unsatisfied with her lifestyle
B. was asking for suggestions
C. knew few people were like her
D. took pride in doing so
29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The cause and result of “The More Bubble”.
B. The advantages of “The More Bubble”.
C. The solutions to “The More Bubble”.
D. The value of “The More Bubble”.
30. According to the text, Essentialists are those who _________.
A. prefer to change frequently
B. give up certain things for what matters in life
C. are tired of information and opinions
D. are eager to become successful and important
31. What’s the author’s attitude towards“The More Bubble”?
A. Supportive. B. Undecided. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。主要讲述了所谓的“泡沫文化”,叙述了这种“更多泡沫”的本质、出现的原因及后果。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Just today, someone boasted (自夸) to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact.( 就在今天,有人向我炫耀说,她这段时间非常忙碌,平均每天只睡四个小时。她并没有抱怨,反而为这个事实感到自豪。她并非个例。)”可知,这位女士说自己两周每晚只睡 4 小时,并非抱怨,而是以此为傲。故选D项。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“This bubble is being enabled by a combination of three powerful trends: smart phones, social media, and extreme consumerism (消费主义). The result is not just information overload, but opinion overload. We are more aware than at any time in history of what everyone else is doing and, therefore, what we should be doing.( 这个泡沫是由三种强大的趋势共同促成的:智能手机、社交媒体和极端消费主义。其结果不仅是信息过载,还有观点过载。我们比以往任何时候都更清楚地知道其他人正在做什么,因此也清楚自己应该做什么。)”可知,本段是讲“更多泡沫”的成因与后果。故选A项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These people are designing their lives around what is essential and removing everything else. These people arrange to have actual weekends (during which they are not working).They create technology-free zones in their homes. They trade time on Facebook with calling those few friends who really matter to them. Instead of running to different meetings, they put space on their plans to get important work done.( 这些人会围绕“必不可少的事物”来规划自己的生活,并舍弃其他一切。这些人会安排出真正的周末(在这段时间里他们不工作)。他们在家里设立无科技区域。他们用在脸书上花费的时间来与那些对他们来说真正重要的少数朋友通话。他们不再匆忙赶去参加各种会议,而是为完成重要的工作而为自己的计划留出空间。)”可知,根据文中的描述,本质主义者是指那些为了生活中真正重要的事物而放弃某些东西的人。故选B项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段“The nature of bubbles is that something is overvalued until — eventually — the bubble bursts, and we’ re left wondering why we were so irrational in the first place. The thing we’ re overvaluing now is the opinion of doing it all, having it all, achieving it all.( 泡沫的本质在于,某样东西会被过度高估,直到——最终——泡沫破裂,然后我们会疑惑为什么一开始会如此不理性。我们现在过度高估的东西是“做到一切、拥有一切、实现一切”的观点。)”以及作者在文中的一些表达,如“boasted(自夸)”和“Why are rational (理性的) people so irrational in their behavior”中的 irrational(不合理的,荒谬的,无理性的)以及“overvalued(过高估计的)”等可看出作者对“更多泡沫”的态度是disapproving(不赞同的,反对的)。故选C项。
D
Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you’ve taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some start-ups are closely copying Amazon’s approach to using AI-powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. A built-in scale weighs items, in case you have to pay by the pound for an item. Customers pay by using a credit card, or through an online payment system. When customers exit the store, a green light on the shopping cart indicates that their orders are complete, and they’re charged.
The start-ups behind the smart shopping carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it’s much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve has said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said he’s finding increased interest from retailers given Amazon’s steady expansion of Amazon Go since the first Amazon Go store opened in Seattle in 2018. “We’re always happy when Amazon is doing something,” Siddiqui said. “They force retailers to get out of their old-school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customer privacy and the impact on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his smart shopping cart point down into the cart, so only customers’ hands and part of their arms will be captured (拍摄) by cameras.
32. Which of the following best explains “eliminate” underlined in paragraph 1?
A. Shift. B. Break. C. Extend. D. Remove.
33. What do we know about the smart shopping carts?
A They are linked to the cameras fixed in the ceilings.
B. They are able to recognize purchases placed in them.
C. They flash the green light when the order is cancelled.
D. They can tell customers where to find what they want.
34. What does Beshry think of the technology applied in Amazon Go stores?
A. It is far more expensive than their smart shopping carts.
B It has attracted many more retailers than before.
C. It may increase the cost of running a large grocery store greatly.
D. It is likely to help retailers to think differently.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The New Technology Promotes Retail Sales
B. AI-powered Cameras Are Used in Retail Stores
C. Artificial Intelligence Affects the Future Job Market
D. Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了为了消除顾客排队结账的烦恼,亚马逊及一些初创公司开发了智能购物车等新技术,通过人工智能和摄像头识别商品,实现自动结账。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. Everyone from Amazon to Silicon Valley start-ups is trying to eliminate lines in retail (零售) stores. (厌倦了排队?再等一会儿,你可能再也不需要排队了。从亚马逊到硅谷的初创公司,都在试图eliminate零售店的排队现象)”中“you may never have to again”可推知,一些公司旨在“消除”排队现象,所以要不了多久,你可能再也不需要排队了。故划线词eliminate意为“消除;去除”,与D项“Remove”同义。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you’ve placed in them. (这些公司在购物车上增加了摄像头和传感器,并利用人工智能来识别你放入其中的物品)”可知,智能购物车能够识别放入其中的商品。故选B项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Ahmed Beshry, cofounder of Caper, believes the technology to run Amazon Go is too expensive to use in a large grocery store. (Caper的联合创始人艾哈迈德·贝什里认为,运行亚马逊Go商店的技术成本太高,无法在大型杂货店使用)”可知,贝什里认为亚马逊Go商店应用的技术成本太高,可能会大大增加大型杂货店的运营成本。故选C项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“Tired of standing in line? Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again. (厌倦了排队?再等一会儿,你可能再也不需要排队了)”以及后文对智能购物车等技术的介绍可知,本文主要讲述了智能购物车将让顾客免于排队结账。故D项“Smart Shopping Carts Will Let You Skip the Line (智能购物车将让你免于排队)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Ambivalence (矛盾心理) refers to the frustrating and all-too-common experience of being “on the fence” about making some change. For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” ___36___ Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life?
___37___ When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.”
A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. ___38___ You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time.
From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. ___39___
The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. ___40___ By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence.
A. And the opposite of that is also true.
B. It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence.
C. Thus, we’ll feel highly motivated to make the change.
D. Think about a kind of behavior you’ve been hesitant to change.
E. It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change.
F. Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change.
G. Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels.
【答案】36. F 37. B 38. E 39. A 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了人们在面对改变时常见的矛盾心理(ambivalence),分析了误解这一心理可能带来的问题,并介绍了动机性访谈这一方法,强调理解矛盾心理的根源有助于更有效地应对改变。
【36题详解】
上文“For example, you must have said, “I should start exercising, but it’s tough to find the time.” (例如,你一定说过,“我应该开始锻炼,但很难抽出时间。”)”举例说明了矛盾心理的具体表现——想做某事却又觉得有困难。F选项“Such internal swinging is common when it comes to behavioral change. (在行为改变方面,这种内心的摇摆是常见的)”承接上文,用“Such internal swinging”指代上文举例的“想锻炼却嫌没时间”这种矛盾心态,指出其普遍性。下文“Yet how often do we view ambivalence as some sort of interloper (干涉者), an unwanted and unexpected roadblock on the path to a better life? (然而,我们有多常把矛盾心理视为某种干涉者,一条通往更好生活道路上不受欢迎、意想不到的障碍呢?)”则以反问语气指出人们常将这种普遍存在的矛盾心理看作需要排除的障碍,引出下文要讨论的话题。故选F项。
【37题详解】
下文“When we lack understanding about the uncertainty, our ability to effectively resolve it becomes limited. Furthermore, without a clear understanding of the underlying reasons, we risk employing harmful labels that may conveniently but inaccurately explain the reason for our inaction and that of others. “I must be lazy.” “She has no self-discipline.” (当我们对不确定性缺乏理解时,我们有效解决它的能力就会受限。此外,如果没有清楚理解背后的原因,我们就有可能使用有害的标签,这些标签可能很便利却不准确地解释了我们或他人不作为的原因。 “我肯定是懒。” “她没有自律能力。”)”阐述了误解矛盾心理会带来的后果——无法有效解决、贴有害标签。B选项“It’ll be problematic if we misinterpret ambivalence. (如果我们误解矛盾心理,就会有问题)”作为本段首句,用“problematic”概括了下文所描述的种种问题,起到总领全段的作用。下文内容则具体阐释了“problematic”的表现——能力受限、使用有害标签,形成“观点—具体阐述”的逻辑关系。故选B项。
【38题详解】
上文“A helpful standpoint for us to better understand the roots of indecisiveness comes from a research-based therapy approach called motivational interviewing. (一个有助于我们更好理解犹豫不决根源的观点,来自一种名为动机性访谈的基于研究的治疗方法)”介绍了动机性访谈这一方法。E选项“It’s been successfully applied to many cases of behavioral change. (它已被成功应用于许多行为改变的案例中)”承接上文,用“It”指代上文的“motivational interviewing”,补充说明了该方法的应用成果——在行为改变案例中成功应用。下文“You can also make a difference via this method, no matter whether you decide to eat less junk food, lose weight, or reduce screen time. (你也可以通过这种方法产生影响,无论你是决定少吃垃圾食品、减肥,还是减少屏幕时间)”则在此基础上鼓励读者将其应用于自身生活,符合逻辑。故选E项。
【39题详解】
上文“From a motivational interviewing viewpoint, the root of ambivalence is related to the extent of importance and confidence in making a change. If we don’t feel strongly that it’s important to make a change or we lack confidence in being able to take the necessary steps, chances are very high that we will waver (动摇) on moving forward. (从动机性访谈的角度来看,矛盾心理的根源与改变的重要性和信心程度有关。如果我们不强烈感到改变是重要的,或者我们缺乏采取必要步骤的信心,那么我们很可能会在前进中动摇)”阐述了矛盾心理的根源——缺乏重要性认知或缺乏信心会导致动摇。A选项“And the opposite of that is also true. (相反的情况也同样成立)”承接上文,指出如果对改变既感到重要又有信心,则不会动摇,从而与上文形成正反两方面的完整论述。故选A项。
【40题详解】
上文“The widespread presence of ambivalence in the face of change is commonly present in human life. It’s true for us, and it’s true for others, including our family members and friends, and those we encounter and serve in our professional lives. (面对改变时矛盾心理的普遍存在是人类生活中常见的。这对我们如此,对他人也是如此,包括我们的家人、朋友,以及我们在职业生活中遇到和服务的人)”指出矛盾心理在人际间的普遍性。G选项“Acknowledging this fact is essential for overcoming harmful judgments and labels. (承认这一事实对于克服有害的判断和标签至关重要)”承接上文,用“this fact”指代上文的“矛盾心理普遍存在”这一事实,指出承认这一事实的重要性——有助于克服第二段提到的“有害标签”。下文“By doing this, we can more clearly see and skillfully address the root causes of ambivalence. (通过这样做,我们可以更清晰地看到并巧妙地解决矛盾心理的根源)”则进一步说明承认事实所带来的积极结果,符合逻辑。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了中国古代建筑上的檐兽的起源、文化意义、种类、作用及保护意义。
【56题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:它们最早出现在汉代,并在后来的朝代中流行起来,主要固定在寺庙、宫殿和皇家建筑的屋檐边缘。根据“first appeared”可知,句子描述过去的事情,应用一般过去时,空格处是与appeared并列的谓语动词,使用become“变得”的过去式,故填became。
【57题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:它们最早出现在汉代,并在后来的朝代中流行起来,主要固定在寺庙、宫殿和皇家建筑的屋檐边缘。根据“temple, palace and imperial (皇家的) building”可知,此处表示多个建筑的屋檐,应用名词roof“屋檐,屋顶”的复数形式,故填roofs。
【58题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些神秘的生物通常排成一列,领头的是麒麟,一种好运的象征。symbol是可数名词,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词修饰,且symbol发音以辅音音素开头,应用a,故填a。
【59题详解】
考查代词。句意:随后是龙、凤凰和狮子等各种野兽,每一种都有自己的特殊含义——龙代表权力和雨水,凤凰代表和平和伟大,狮子象征着抵御邪恶。此处修饰名词meaning,应用形容词性物主代词its“它的”,故填its。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意:随后是龙、凤凰和狮子等各种野兽,每一种都有自己的特殊含义——龙代表权力和雨水,凤凰代表和平和伟大,狮子象征着抵御邪恶。stand for是固定短语,意为“代表”,故填for。
【61题详解】
考查副词。句意:在古代,檐兽的数量受到严格控制,取决于建筑物的地位;野兽越多,地位越高,紫禁城的野兽最多。此处修饰动词controlled,应用副词strictly“严格地”,作状语,故填strictly。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:檐兽由琉璃瓦和石头等材料制成,不仅外观吸引人,而且实用。句子已有谓语动词are,空处作非谓语动词,make与其逻辑主语eaves beasts之间是被动关系,用过去分词作状语,(be) made of是固定短语,意为“由……制成”,且空处位于句首,首字母需大写,故填Made。
【63题详解】
考查连词。句意:檐兽由琉璃瓦和石头等材料制成,不仅外观吸引人,而且实用。not only...but (also)...是固定短语,意为“不仅……而且……”,故填but。
【64题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今天,它们是珍贵的文物,展示了中国古代工匠的智慧和传统建筑背后的深厚文化内涵。句子已有谓语动词are,空处作非谓语动词,show与其逻辑主语They之间是主动关系,应用现在分词作状语,故填showing。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它们让我们想起了祖先的悠久历史和辉煌艺术,保护和传承它们是我们的责任。it’s one’s duty to do sth.是固定句型,意为“做某事是某人的责任”,其中it作形式主语,动词不定式作真正的主语,所以空处应用动词protect“保护”的不定式形式,故填to protect。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Uncle Li’s bookstore was a quiet island in the busy modern city. For many years, it had been a warm home for people who loved reading. The old wooden sign above the door read “Li’ s Books” in dark red letters. Time seemed to slow down the moment people opened a book there. Now, it was going to close.
The news made Tom a quiet high school student who had grown up reading in the comfortable corners of the bookstore, feel very sad. He had spent many years reading in the cozy chairs of the shop. The smell of old paper felt like his own childhood, watching him grow up. He couldn’t imagine the street without the store’s warm, friendly light. When people in the neighborhood heard the news, everyone looked worried.
The reason for the closure was that a large development company had made a generous offer to buy the building for its potential as a trendy coffee house, a profitable upgrade. To the company, it was just business. Uncle Li was getting old and tired. He told Tom, “Maybe it’s time to let go. Young people today don’t read as much as before.” He sighed, resting his hand on an old storybook. “The World has moved on.”
On the last Saturday before closing, Tom came early. His bag was full of things he had kept from the store: a colorful bookmark he got at 10 years old, a receipt from his first book, and a photo of him and Uncle Li at a reading party. He picked up his favorite book,The Little Prince, from the shelf. Its cover was faded, but the pages were still in good shape. He saw Uncle Li was packing up everything.

Tom mustered up his courage and approached Uncle Li, laying out the well-kept bookmark, the faded photo, and his dog-eared copy of The Little Prince on the packing box. “This bookstore is more than a place of business,” he said earnestly, “it’s a community hub where generations have found comfort and inspiration.” He then proposed a plan of combining the bookstore and a coffee house, launching a series of weekend reading workshops and inviting local students to share their favorite stories. Moved by Tom’s passion and practical idea, Uncle Li paused his packing, a flicker of hope rekindling in his weary eyes. Tom then hurried to spread the idea with the neighbors who promised to support him wholeheartedly.
With the help of the neighbors, Tom’s plan to combine the bookstore and a coffee house began. They designed eye-catching flyers and distributed them around the neighborhood. People donated furniture, painted the walls together, and set up a small coffee bar with simple machines. Some helped promote the new bookstore online, while others brought in books and coffee beans. To their surprise, many young people came to visit, attracted by the warm mix of books and coffee. In the end, Uncle Li’s Books stayed open, still a quiet island in the city, warmer and more lively than ever. Witnessing the renewed energy, Uncle Li made up his mind to keep the store running. Tom beamed with pride, knowing that he had breathed new life into the place that had shaped his love for reading.
