And so, he created the VARK learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic. Visual ● Images, graphics and visuals ● Mindmaps and diagrams ● Animation ● Colour based Auditory ● Listening and speaking ● Verbal repetition ● Verbal discussion ● Sound recordings and mnemonic devices Read/write ● Reading and writing ● Note taking ●Information in written word Kinaesthetic ● Tactile learning ●Physical activity and movement ●Models and 3D objects Although the VARK learning styles have been widely regarded as helpful for students who have a better understanding of themselves and how to direct their studying, it has its disadvantages. Despite one learning style making it easier for you to study, it can in some ways be a barrier (阻碍). What if you struggle to learn a particular subject using a specific learning style? It can often lead you to feel as though you’ll never be able to understand the information — rather than thinking another method might work better. It’s common for learners to benefit from more than one learning style; e.g. watching a video of someone putting together furniture (kinaesthetic) and then following the diagram themselves (visual). So, although the VARK learning styles may be a great way to better understand how best you learn, it’s important to play around with different study methods to see which works best for you, especially when approaching different subjects. Kinaesthetic learning might be great for helping you understand how gravity works, but it might not be so helpful for poetry analysis. Trying a combination of different learning styles won’t only help you improve your concentration and study motivation, but you’ll also become a more effective learner, spending time on the activities that are going to help you achieve the most effect. 1. Why did Neil Fleming create the VARK learning styles? A To help students learn better. B. To form a new educational theory. C. To improve learners’ visual memory. D. To replace traditional learning methods. 2. Which activity best fits the Auditory learning style? A. Build a 3D model of a cell structure. B. Write summaries of a science textbook. C. Draw mindmaps for a history lesson. D. Listen to the radio and repeat key points. 3. What advice is given to be a more effective learner? A. Keep focused on one learning style. B. Identify a specific learning style. C. Experiment with mixed learning styles. D. Apply the VARK learning styles. B American actor Marc Herrmann says he’s finally able to call himself a full-time working actor — thanks to Chinese micro dramas. He’s one of many Hollywood professionals finding opportunity as China’s short drama platforms gain popularity in the U.S. and reshape the global streaming (流媒体) market. Behind the boom is the fact that China’s mini-drama industry has developed a complete ecosystem, reshaping the viewer market in film and TV with its “short, fast, and catchy” features. According to the 2024 White Paper on the Development of China’s Short Drama Industry, the American micro-short drama market reached 50.4 billion yuan (about $7.03 billion) last year, beating box office income for the first time. The success of Chinese short dramas overseas is not about spreading domestic (国内的) content, but about localized reinvention in themes and visual language for the overseas market. Xu Wensong, an associate professor at the School of Cultural Industry Management at the Communication University of China, told us that Chinese short dramas are characterized by appealing storylines, an ability to deliver high emotional value and instant entertainment. With improving production quality, these short dramas hold a certain competitive edge in international markets. “Chinese platforms are good at adjusting content to local tastes”, Xu said. Micro drama production has restructured the traditional logic of the film and television industry. A Hollywood film editor said that an increasing number of micro dramas funded by Chinese companies, developed by Chinese creative teams, and starring Hollywood actors are being produced in Los Angeles. This, he said, has “rescued” many Hollywood professionals who were on the brink of unemployment. Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration, noted that the overseas development of Chinese micro dramas symbolizes a significant practice of “cultural output in the digital age”. Sun believes that micro dramas may become an important tool for China’s cultural soft power, carving out a different path in the global streaming competition. 4. Why are Chinese short dramas successful overseas? A. Because they meet local tastes. B. Because they display domestic content. C. Because they reshape the global streaming market. D. Because they have developed a complete ecosystem. 5. According to Xu Wensong, which of the following is the characteristic of Chinese short drama? A. Classic roles. B. Plain stories. C. Emotional value. D. Localized settings. 6. What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Close to. B. Aware of. C. Confused about. D. Terrified of. 7. What might Sun Jiashan probably agree with about Chinese short dramas? A. They have promoted economy in USA. B. They can serve as a cultural messenger. C. They have revived the Hollywood industry. D. They can stand for the Chinese streaming soft power. C Sunscreen (防晒霜) is important for keeping skin safe from sun damage and preventing skin cancer. The chemicals in many sunscreens, however, can be harmful for sea life. This has inspired scientists to develop a new kind of sunscreen made from flower pollen (花粉). Sunscreen works by using special chemicals that block ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun’s rays, and people often apply it to their skin before going into the ocean or other natural waterways. But the chemicals are washed off by the water and spread into it, affecting the wildlife that lives there. This is especially harmful for coral reefs (珊瑚礁), which support a wide variety of fish, plants, and other underwater life. To find an alternative, scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore turned to pollen, which is known to be resistant to UV light. The team prepared water-based gels (凝胶) made from pollen of camellia flowers and sunflowers. Then they tested how well those gels blocked UV light, including both UVA and UVB-wavelengths of UV light -produced by the Sun and tanning beds, that damage skin. Both gels took in UV rays, the team found, but the camellia gel took in more UVB rays, shorter wavelength rays mainly responsible for causing sunburn and skin cancers, than the sunflower gel did. When tested on mice, both gels prevented skin damage when the mice were put in UV light for a few minutes per day. Mice that didn’t receive sunscreen had thinner skin after the same UV experience. The team also put samples of the gels in saltwater tanks containing coral, which still appeared healthy after two months. “What they’re doing are first steps, but they’re really important first steps,” said Craig Downs, the executive director of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving ecosystems. Some of the next steps might be to assess whether the pollen-based sunscreen is harmful to other wildlife in natural environments, then clear safety tests in humans. “But if they are successful,” Downs added, “in five to eight years, this might be a marketable product.” 8. Why did scientists develop pollen-based sunscreen? A. For low costs. B. For skin safety. C. For sea reservation. D. For economic benefits. 9. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Sunflower gel takes in most of the UVB rays. B. Sunflower gel is responsible for causing skin damage. C. Camellia gel left the mice with thinner skin than regular sunscreen. D. Camellia gel is more effective in UV protection than sunflower one. 10. What did Craig Downs think of the pollen-based sunscreen? A. Profitable. B. Dangerous. C. Demanding. D. Alarming. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage? A. The History of Sunscreen Development. B. Pollen-Based Sunscreen: A Safe Choice. C. UV Light: The Main Cause of Skin Damage. D. The preservation of Coral Reefs from Sunscreen. D Scientists discovered the reason why China’s Terracotta Army’s weapons remained so well preserved for over 2,000 years: a combination of bronze, and the soil the army was buried in. Qinshihuang, the first emperor of a unified China, was buried with an army of terracotta warriors in a mausoleum in Xi’An, a World Heritage UNESCO site. No two faces of these warriors are alike, but what’s fascinated archaeologists is just how these warriors’ weapons have been preserved over the centuries. When archaeologists uncovered this army in the 1970s, some fans of “ancient lost technologies” believed these weapons had survived the test of time due to some lost technology ancestors used. Another theory suggested that these weapons had been treated with anti-rust chemicals like chromium (铬), so it was believed that people had treated these weapons with a sort of chromium coating. However the authors of a recent study believe the two theories should “be given up.” Firstly, chromium was found on only 37 of the 464 weapons examined, mostly on areas like handles and triggers. These parts were wooden and would have been coated with lacquer (漆), which contained chromium at that time. Secondly, the best-preserved weapons weren’t the ones that had much chromium coating, so this theory couldn’t stand on its own two feet. Simply put, the preservation was managed thanks to a combination of the higher tin content in the bronze, as well as the specific soil the army was buried in. When the scientists looked into the soil, it showed a slightly alkaline (碱性的) chemical composition and had small particles that would have prevented natural acids and organic matter from rusting through the metals. It would have been cool to claim the ancient Terracotta Army’s weapon preservation was linked to some long-lost technology. However, it’s even cooler that scientists are able to figure out the long-standing mystery. 12. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To show new weapon preservation findings. B. To compare weapon preservation technologies. C. To investigate earlier metal preservation chemicals. D. To introduce theories about preservation technology. 13. What led to the good preservation of the Terracotta Army’s weapons? A. The specific chemicals in soil. B. The chromium coating on weapons. C. The use of lost anti-rust technology. D. The mixture of bronze and specific soil. 14. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. The theory was logically sound. B. The theory failed to prove itself. C. The theory missed the key points. D. The theory shall stand the test of time. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the discovery? A. Confident. B. Admiring. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. E Being an information technology, or IT, worker is not a job I envy. They are the ones expected to instantly fix a projector that stops working, even right in the middle of a critical meeting. They have to tolerate the bad mood of colleagues who are upset after calling the help desk repeatedly for the same issue. They also know there are better, more reliable and faster systems available, but their employer simply will not provide the funds to buy them. According to a recent survey, employees reliant on IT support often consider it a major source of job dissatisfaction. Through no fault of their own, they can suddenly find their productivity deteriorating (退化) or quality control non-existent. And there’s little they can do about it. The experience of using IT affects almost every aspect of the workplace. It has become a crucial part of employees’ overall work experience. When IT is operating as it should, employee self-confidence increases. Their job satisfaction, too, can surge when well-functioning machines relieve them of dull tasks or repetitive processes. But if there’s one thing that triggers widespread frustration, it’s a failed IT transformation project. In such cases, high expectations are dashed, and a long list of promised efficiencies fails to materialize. This occurs when business leaders implement IT initiatives with little consideration of how those changes will impact the end user. This is why managers should appreciate how influential the IT user experience is, and make a substantial effort to ensure their IT team fixes programming errors and application crashes. Adequate and timely IT support should also be available to help users resolve technological issues at work. More importantly, IT practitioners need to understand how employees feel when they use IT. Therefore businesses need to design their IT infrastructure (基础设施) to fit their employees’ work, rather than force employees to work around the company’s IT limitations. 16. What makes the author say IT work is not a job he envies? A. Fixing unexpected project problems. B. Upgrading the present systems repeatedly. C. Resolving tensions among unhappy colleagues. D. Handling high-pressure tasks with poor support. 17. What is said about Information Technology’s influence on employees? A. It mainly helps the tech-skilled. B. Its negatives may outweigh positives. C. It can hurt or improve work and well-being. D. It often lowers productivity and satisfaction. 18. What should managers and businesses do to improve the IT experience? A. Make IT training available to staff. B. Tailor technology to fit human work patterns. C. Upgrade systems regardless of cost for efficiency. D. Focus first on solving urgent technical breakdowns. 19. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Employee Training in the Digital Age B. The Rising Cost of Business Technology C. Why IT Departments Need More Funding D. Human-Centered IT: A Key to Productivity 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。 Developing a strong sense of self-respect can help you fulfil your potential, develop healthy relationships, and make everyone around you see you as a person who is worthy of respect.

And so, he created the VARK learning styles: Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinaesthetic. (1987年，教育理论家尼尔·弗莱明着手帮助学生调整学习方法，以便更好地记住新知识。于是，他创立了VARK学习模式：视觉型、听觉型、读写型和动觉型)”可知，尼尔·弗莱明创立VARK学习风格是为了帮助学生更好地学习。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中Auditory部分中的“Listening and speaking; verbal repetition; Verbal discussion; Sound recordings and mnemonic devices(听和说；口头重复；口头讨论；录音和记忆技巧)”可知，听觉型学习风格强调听与口头重复，听广播并重复关键点最符合该学习风格。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Trying a combination of different learning styles won’t only help you improve your concentration and study motivation, but you’ll also become a more effective learner, spending time on the activities that are going to help you achieve the most effect. (尝试结合不同的学习方式，不仅能帮你提升专注力和学习动力，还能让你成为更高效的学习者——把时间花在那些能让你取得最佳效果的学习活动上)”可知，想要成为更高效的学习者，建议尝试混合多种学习风格。故选C项。 B American actor Marc Herrmann says he’s finally able to call himself a full-time working actor — thanks to Chinese micro dramas. He’s one of many Hollywood professionals finding opportunity as China’s short drama platforms gain popularity in the U.S. and reshape the global streaming (流媒体) market. Behind the boom is the fact that China’s mini-drama industry has developed a complete ecosystem, reshaping the viewer market in film and TV with its “short, fast, and catchy” features. According to the 2024 White Paper on the Development of China’s Short Drama Industry, the American micro-short drama market reached 50.4 billion yuan (about $7.03 billion) last year, beating box office income for the first time. The success of Chinese short dramas overseas is not about spreading domestic (国内的) content, but about localized reinvention in themes and visual language for the overseas market. Xu Wensong, an associate professor at the School of Cultural Industry Management at the Communication University of China, told us that Chinese short dramas are characterized by appealing storylines, an ability to deliver high emotional value and instant entertainment. With improving production quality, these short dramas hold a certain competitive edge in international markets. “Chinese platforms are good at adjusting content to local tastes”, Xu said. Micro drama production has restructured the traditional logic of the film and television industry. A Hollywood film editor said that an increasing number of micro dramas funded by Chinese companies, developed by Chinese creative teams, and starring Hollywood actors are being produced in Los Angeles. This, he said, has “rescued” many Hollywood professionals who were on the brink of unemployment. Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration, noted that the overseas development of Chinese micro dramas symbolizes a significant practice of “cultural output in the digital age”. Sun believes that micro dramas may become an important tool for China’s cultural soft power, carving out a different path in the global streaming competition. 4. Why are Chinese short dramas successful overseas? A. Because they meet local tastes. B. Because they display domestic content. C. Because they reshape the global streaming market. D. Because they have developed a complete ecosystem. 5. According to Xu Wensong, which of the following is the characteristic of Chinese short drama? A. Classic roles. B. Plain stories. C. Emotional value. D. Localized settings. 6. What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Close to. B. Aware of. C. Confused about. D. Terrified of. 7 What might Sun Jiashan probably agree with about Chinese short dramas? A. They have promoted economy in USA. B. They can serve as a cultural messenger. C. They have revived the Hollywood industry. D. They can stand for the Chinese streaming soft power. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国微短剧在海外走红的现状、成功原因及其对全球影视行业和文化输出的影响。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The success of Chinese short dramas overseas is not about spreading domestic (国内的) content, but about localized reinvention in themes and visual language for the overseas market. (中国短剧在海外的成功并非在于传播国内内容，而是在于针对海外市场在主题和视觉语言上进行本土化改造。)”以及第三段“Chinese platforms are good at adjusting content to local tastes. (中国平台擅长根据当地口味调整内容。)”可知，中国短剧在海外成功是因为迎合了当地的喜好。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Xu Wensong, an associate professor at the School of Cultural Industry Management at the Communication University of China, told us that Chinese short dramas are characterized by appealing storylines, an ability to deliver high emotional value and instant entertainment. (中国传媒大学文化产业管理学院副教授徐文松告诉我们，中国微短剧的特点是故事情节吸引人、能够传递高情绪价值并提供即时娱乐。)”可知，徐文松认为中国短剧的特点包括传递高情绪价值。故选C。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“This, he said, has ‘rescued’ many Hollywood professionals who were on the brink of unemployment. (他说，这‘拯救’了许多on the brink of失业的好莱坞专业人士。)”可知，“rescued”暗示这些人之前处于失业的边缘，因此“on the brink of”意为“濒临，接近”，与“Close to”含义相近。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Sun Jiashan, an associate researcher at the Central Academy of Culture and Tourism Administration, noted that the overseas development of Chinese micro dramas symbolizes a significant practice of ‘cultural output in the digital age’. Sun believes that micro dramas may become an important tool for China’s cultural soft power, carving out a different path in the global streaming competition. (中央文化和旅游管理艺术学院副研究员孙佳山指出，中国微短剧的海外发展标志着‘数字时代文化输出’的一项重要实践。他认为，微短剧或许会成为中国文化软实力的重要工具，在全球流媒体竞争中开辟出一条不同的道路。)”可知，孙佳山认为中国微短剧可以作为文化输出的载体，充当文化使者。故选B。 C Sunscreen (防晒霜) is important for keeping skin safe from sun damage and preventing skin cancer. The chemicals in many sunscreens, however, can be harmful for sea life. This has inspired scientists to develop a new kind of sunscreen made from flower pollen (花粉). Sunscreen works by using special chemicals that block ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun’s rays, and people often apply it to their skin before going into the ocean or other natural waterways. But the chemicals are washed off by the water and spread into it, affecting the wildlife that lives there. This is especially harmful for coral reefs (珊瑚礁), which support a wide variety of fish, plants, and other underwater life. To find an alternative, scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore turned to pollen, which is known to be resistant to UV light. The team prepared water-based gels (凝胶) made from pollen of camellia flowers and sunflowers. Then they tested how well those gels blocked UV light, including both UVA and UVB-wavelengths of UV light -produced by the Sun and tanning beds, that damage skin. Both gels took in UV rays, the team found, but the camellia gel took in more UVB rays, shorter wavelength rays mainly responsible for causing sunburn and skin cancers, than the sunflower gel did. When tested on mice, both gels prevented skin damage when the mice were put in UV light for a few minutes per day. Mice that didn’t receive sunscreen had thinner skin after the same UV experience. The team also put samples of the gels in saltwater tanks containing coral, which still appeared healthy after two months. “What they’re doing are first steps, but they’re really important first steps,” said Craig Downs, the executive director of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving ecosystems. Some of the next steps might be to assess whether the pollen-based sunscreen is harmful to other wildlife in natural environments, then clear safety tests in humans. “But if they are successful,” Downs added, “in five to eight years, this might be a marketable product.” 8. Why did scientists develop pollen-based sunscreen? A. For low costs. B. For skin safety. C. For sea reservation. D. For economic benefits. 9. What can we infer from paragraph 3? A. Sunflower gel takes in most of the UVB rays. B. Sunflower gel is responsible for causing skin damage. C. Camellia gel left the mice with thinner skin than regular sunscreen. D. Camellia gel is more effective in UV protection than sunflower one. 10. What did Craig Downs think of the pollen-based sunscreen? A. Profitable. B. Dangerous. C. Demanding. D. Alarming. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage? A. The History of Sunscreen Development. B. Pollen-Based Sunscreen: A Safe Choice. C. UV Light: The Main Cause of Skin Damage. D. The preservation of Coral Reefs from Sunscreen. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了传统防晒霜中的化学成分会危害海洋生物，新加坡科学家因此研发出以山茶花和向日葵花粉为原料的新型防晒霜，测试显示其防晒效果良好且对珊瑚无害，目前研究处于起步阶段，未来有望上市。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The chemicals in many sunscreens, however, can be harmful for sea life. This has inspired scientists to develop a new kind of sunscreen made from flower pollen (花粉).(然而，许多防晒霜中化学成分会对海洋生物造成危害，这一问题也启发科学家研发出了一种以花卉花粉为原料的新型防晒霜。)”可知，传统防晒霜中的化学成分会危害海洋生物，这一问题促使科学家研发花粉基防晒霜，其核心目的是保护海洋生态。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Both gels took in UV rays, the team found, but the camellia gel took in more UVB rays, shorter wavelength rays mainly responsible for causing sunburn and skin cancers, than the sunflower gel did.(研究团队发现，两种凝胶均能吸收紫外线，其中山茶花粉凝胶吸收的中波紫外线，要多于向日葵花粉凝胶。中波紫外线是波长更短的紫外线，也是引发皮肤晒伤和皮肤癌的主要诱因。)”可知，两种花粉凝胶均能吸收紫外线，且山茶花粉凝胶比向日葵花粉凝胶吸收更多会导致晒伤和皮肤癌的UVB射线，由此可推断山茶花粉凝胶的防晒效果优于向日葵花粉凝胶。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““What they’re doing are first steps, but they’re really important first steps,” said Craig Downs, the executive director of Haereticus Environmental Laboratory, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving ecosystems. Some of the next steps might be to assess whether the pollen-based sunscreen is harmful to other wildlife in natural environments, then clear safety tests in humans.(非营利性生态保护机构异端环境实验室的执行董事Craig Downs表示：“他们目前开展的研究虽尚处于起步阶段，但却是意义重大的第一步。” 这款花粉防晒霜的后续研究工作，可能会包括评估其是否会对自然环境中的其他野生生物造成危害，随后完成针对人体的安全性检测。Downs补充道：“但如果研究取得成功，未来五到八年内，这款产品有望成为可上市销售的商品。”)”可知，Craig Downs认为花粉基防晒霜的研究如果成功了，在五到八年内，就可能会成为一个可以上市销售的产品。也就是说，这是有利可图的。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出传统防晒霜的化学成分会危害海洋生物，随后介绍新加坡科学家研发出花粉基防晒霜，经测试该防晒霜不仅能有效阻隔紫外线、保护皮肤，还对珊瑚无害，虽后续仍需开展多项检测工作，但它是兼顾皮肤防护与海洋生态保护的新型选择。选项B“Pollen-Based Sunscreen: A Safe Choice(基于花粉的防晒霜：一种安全的选择)”与全文内容相符。故选B。 D Scientists discovered the reason why China’s Terracotta Army’s weapons remained so well preserved for over 2,000 years: a combination of bronze, and the soil the army was buried in. Qinshihuang, the first emperor of a unified China, was buried with an army of terracotta warriors in a mausoleum in Xi’An, a World Heritage UNESCO site. No two faces of these warriors are alike, but what’s fascinated archaeologists is just how these warriors’ weapons have been preserved over the centuries. When archaeologists uncovered this army in the 1970s, some fans of “ancient lost technologies” believed these weapons had survived the test of time due to some lost technology ancestors used. Another theory suggested that these weapons had been treated with anti-rust chemicals like chromium (铬), so it was believed that people had treated these weapons with a sort of chromium coating. However, the authors of a recent study believe the two theories should “be given up.” Firstly, chromium was found on only 37 of the 464 weapons examined, mostly on areas like handles and triggers. These parts were wooden and would have been coated with lacquer (漆), which contained chromium at that time. Secondly, the best-preserved weapons weren’t the ones that had much chromium coating, so this theory couldn’t stand on its own two feet. Simply put, the preservation was managed thanks to a combination of the higher tin content in the bronze, as well as the specific soil the army was buried in. When the scientists looked into the soil, it showed a slightly alkaline (碱性的) chemical composition and had small particles that would have prevented natural acids and organic matter from rusting through the metals. It would have been cool to claim the ancient Terracotta Army’s weapon preservation was linked to some long-lost technology. However, it’s even cooler that scientists are able to figure out the long-standing mystery. 12. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To show new weapon preservation findings. B. To compare weapon preservation technologies. C. To investigate earlier metal preservation chemicals. D. To introduce theories about preservation technology. 13. What led to the good preservation of the Terracotta Army’s weapons? A. The specific chemicals in soil. B. The chromium coating on weapons. C. The use of lost anti-rust technology. D. The mixture of bronze and specific soil. 14. What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 4? A. The theory was logically sound. B. The theory failed to prove itself. C. The theory missed the key points. D. The theory shall stand the test of time. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the discovery? A. Confident. B. Admiring. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家关于秦始皇兵马俑武器保存完好的最新研究发现，推翻了之前关于“失传技术”或“铬涂层”等理论，指出其真正原因是青铜合金中的高锡含量以及埋葬地的特殊土壤环境共同作用的结果。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Scientists discovered the reason why China's Terracotta Army's weapons remained so well preserved for over 2,000 years: a combination of bronze, and the soil the army was buried in.(科学家发现了中国兵马俑的武器为何能保存超过2000年如此完好的原因：是青铜和埋葬军队的土壤的共同作用。)”以及文章最后一段中“However, it‘s even cooler that scientists are able to figure out the long-standing mystery.(然而，更酷的是科学家们能够解开这个长期存在的谜团。)”可知，文章的核心是呈现一项科学研究的新发现与新结论，即解开了兵马俑武器保存完好的谜团。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“Simply put, the preservation was managed thanks to a combination of the higher tin content in the bronze, as well as the specific soil the army was buried in.(简而言之，保存得以实现是由于青铜中较高的锡含量以及军队被埋葬的特定土壤的结合。)”可知，武器保存完好的直接原因是青铜和特定土壤的共同作用。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Secondly, the best-preserved weapons weren't the ones that had much chromium coating(其次，保存最完好的武器并不是那些有大量铬涂层的武器)”可知，关键事实与铬涂层防腐的理论预期相悖，从而削弱了该理论的基础。因此，划线部分意为“该理论无法独立成立/站不住脚”。选项B“The theory failed to prove itself.(该理论未能证明自己。)”符合此意。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It would have been cool to claim the ancient Terracotta Army’s weapon preservation was linked to some long-lost technology. However, it’s even cooler that scientists are able to figure out the long-standing mystery.(如果声称古代兵马俑的武器保存与某些失传的技术有关，那本来会很酷。然而，更酷的是科学家们能够解开这个长期存在的谜团。)”作者通过“would have been cool”与“it’s even cooler”的完整对比，明确表达了对“科学家最终查明真相”这一事实持有比“拥有失传技术”更加强烈的欣赏与赞叹之情。因此，作者的态度是钦佩的。选项B“Admiring.(钦佩的)”正确。故选B。 E Being an information technology, or IT, worker is not a job I envy. They are the ones expected to instantly fix a projector that stops working, even right in the middle of a critical meeting. They have to tolerate the bad mood of colleagues who are upset after calling the help desk repeatedly for the same issue. They also know there are better, more reliable and faster systems available, but their employer simply will not provide the funds to buy them. According to a recent survey, employees reliant on IT support often consider it a major source of job dissatisfaction. Through no fault of their own, they can suddenly find their productivity deteriorating (退化) or quality control non-existent. And there’s little they can do about it. The experience of using IT affects almost every aspect of the workplace. It has become a crucial part of employees’ overall work experience. When IT is operating as it should, employee self-confidence increases. Their job satisfaction, too, can surge when well-functioning machines relieve them of dull tasks or repetitive processes. But if there’s one thing that triggers widespread frustration, it’s a failed IT transformation project. In such cases, high expectations are dashed, and a long list of promised efficiencies fails to materialize. This occurs when business leaders implement IT initiatives with little consideration of how those changes will impact the end user. This is why managers should appreciate how influential the IT user experience is, and make a substantial effort to ensure their IT team fixes programming errors and application crashes. Adequate and timely IT support should also be available to help users resolve technological issues at work. More importantly, IT practitioners need to understand how employees feel when they use IT. Therefore, businesses need to design their IT infrastructure (基础设施) to fit their employees’ work, rather than force employees to work around the company’s IT limitations. 16. What makes the author say IT work is not a job he envies? A. Fixing unexpected project problems. B. Upgrading the present systems repeatedly. C. Resolving tensions among unhappy colleagues. D. Handling high-pressure tasks with poor support. 17. What is said about Information Technology’s influence on employees? A. It mainly helps the tech-skilled. B. Its negatives may outweigh positives. C. It can hurt or improve work and well-being. D. It often lowers productivity and satisfaction. 18. What should managers and businesses do to improve the IT experience? A. Make IT training available to staff. B. Tailor technology to fit human work patterns. C. Upgrade systems regardless of cost for efficiency. D. Focus first on solving urgent technical breakdowns. 19. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Employee Training in the Digital Age B. The Rising Cost of Business Technology C. Why IT Departments Need More Funding D. Human-Centered IT: A Key to Productivity 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. B 19. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过分析IT工作者面临的困境、IT系统对普通员工工作效率与满意度的双重影响，最终论证了企业管理中应以员工体验为中心设计技术方案的必要性。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They are the ones expected to instantly fix a projector that stops working, even right in the middle of a critical meeting. They have to tolerate the bad mood of colleagues who are upset after calling the help desk repeatedly for the same issue. They also know there are better, more reliable and faster systems available, but their employer simply will not provide the funds to buy them.(IT人员需要在关键会议进行到一半时，立刻修复出现故障的投影仪。他们还得忍受那些因同一问题反复致电求助台而心情不佳的同事的坏脾气。他们也知道有更好、更可靠、更快捷的系统，但雇主就是不愿出资购买。)”可知，作者列举了IT工作者的工作内容，综合来看，他们要处理各种高压力任务，且得不到足够的支持，所以作者说信息技术工作并非是他所羡慕的职业。故选D。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The experience of using IT affects almost every aspect of the workplace. It has become a crucial part of employees’ overall work experience. When IT is operating as it should, employee self-confidence increases.(使用信息技术的体验几乎影响着职场的方方面面。它已成为员工整体工作体验中至关重要的一部分。当信息技术正常运行时，员工的自信心会增强。)”及第四段中“Their job satisfaction, too, can surge when well-functioning machines relieve them of dull tasks or repetitive processes. But if there’s one thing that triggers widespread frustration, it’s a failed IT transformation project.(当运转良好的机器将员工从枯燥的任务或重复的流程中解脱出来时，他们的工作满意度也会大幅提升。但是，如果说有什么事情会引发普遍的挫败感，那就是失败的IT转型项目。)”可知，信息技术对员工的影响既有积极的一面，也有消极的一面，即它可以影响工作和生活的好坏，故选C。 【18题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, businesses need to design their IT infrastructure (基础设施) to fit their employees’ work, rather than force employees to work around the company’s IT limitations.(因此，企业需要设计适合员工工作的IT基础设施，而不是强迫员工去适应公司的IT限制。)”可知，管理者和企业要根据人类的工作模式定制技术。故选B。 【19题详解】 主旨大意题。纵观全文，尤其根据最后一段“Therefore, businesses need to design their IT infrastructure (基础设施) to fit their employees’ work, rather than force employees to work around the company’s IT limitations.(因此，企业需要设计适合员工工作的IT基础设施，而不是强迫员工去适应公司的IT限制。)”可知，本文先揭示IT工作者及普通员工因技术问题面临的困境（引出现象）， 进而分析IT对员工效率与心理的双重影响（剖析问题），最后提出根本出路在于以员工为中心设计IT系统（提出解决方案）。D项“Human-Centered IT: A Key to Productivity(以人为本的IT：提高生产力的关键)”概括了文章主题，适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 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。 Developing a strong sense of self-respect can help you fulfil your potential, develop healthy relationships, and make everyone around you see you as a person who is worthy of respect.

Yet, deforestation, pollution, and climate change threaten its survival. It’s time we act as guardians, not bystanders. Why protect Earth?
