A father and son went to the kite flying festival. The young son became very happy seeing the sky filled with colorful kites. He asked his father to get him a kite and a thread with a roller so he could fly a kite too. So, the father went to the shop at the park where the festival was being held. He purchased kites and a roll of thread for his son.
The son started to fly a kite. Soon, his kite ____1____ high up in the sky. The son said, “Father, it seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher. If we cut off the thread, the kite will be ____2____ and will go flying even higher. Can we cut it off?” So, the father cut the thread from a roller. The kite started to go a little higher. That made the son very ____3____.
But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. And soon it fell down on the terrace of the unknown building. The young son was surprised and asked his father, “Father, I thought that after cutting off the thread, the kite could freely fly higher. But why did it fall down?”
The father explained, “Son, at the ____4____ of life that we live in, we often think there are some things we are tied to and that they are ____5____ us from going higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down and when the wind ____6____, you helped the kite go up higher in a proper direction through the thread. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the ____7____ you were providing for the kite through the thread.” The son realized his mistake.
Sometimes we feel that we can ____8____ quickly and reach new heights if we were not tied up with our family, our home. But we ____9____ to realize that our family, our loved ones help us survive the tough time in our lives with their support and encourage us to reach higher heights in life. They are not ____10____ us, but are supporting us. Never let go of them.

Like many people in New Zealand, Emma Lewis grew up knowing little about her country’s national game — rugby, other than watching some neighbours pass the ball around on a muddy field.
It was only when her two kids started playing rugby as part of their training for netball that she really took notice. Her son, Ben, went on to do very well in rugby and now plays for the Wellington Waves in a national youth rugby league.
Both came up through the Harbour Junior Rugby Club (HJRC), in the Wellington area, which has been around since 1905. When the number of players in the kids’ teams began falling in 2019, Ms. Lewis, who runs a small cafe in Wellington, volunteered to help. She offered to sponsor the “Tiny Ferns” program, which introduced kids aged 7 and 8 to the game.
Thanks to her sponsorship, more than 80 kids play for free each autumn for eight weeks. They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a soft rugby ball and a green shirt. “They are taught to catch, pass, run and score in a non-contact setting,” she said. “You get them running around. You get them off their devices. It is our national game, so you let them feel it. And sure enough, they enjoy it.”
To fund the program, Ms. Lewis came up with a new idea. She started looking around her neighbourhood for old appliances, metal and electronic items such as broken toasters, laptops and cell phones. She sorted the material behind her cafe and sold it to a local recycling centre. “People now bring their old electronics and metal to the back door,” she said. The recycling brings in around $15,000 a year, which covers the cost of the rugby program.
Ms. Lewis said watching the kids play has given her a lot of happiness. Not only is far less rubbish going to landfill, she said, but “we’ve also got kids who are out on the field, not sitting in front of a phone.”
34. What can we learn about Emma’s early experience with rugby?
A. She knew little about the game. B. She was trained by a famous coach.
C. She enjoyed watching rugby games. D. She joined matches with her neighbours.
35. The main purpose of the “Tiny Ferns” program is to _________.
A. raise money for the HJRC B. teach kids how to use rugby equipment
C. help young kids enjoy rugby in a safer way D. provide more kids with opportunities to play rugby
36. How did Emma obtain funds for the program?
A. By charging participation fees. B. By collecting and selling used items.
C. By organizing charity matches. D. By raising money from the community.
37. What can we learn about the program’s impact?
A. It made rugby a national game. B. It promoted community inclusion.
C. It reduced screen time for kids. D. It created jobs for the local residents.
【答案】34. A 35. D 36. B 37. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了Emma Lewis 通过赞助儿童曲棍球项目Tiny Ferns并创新回收筹款方式,既推广了新西兰国球运动,又减少了儿童屏幕时间的故事。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Like many people in New Zealand, Emma Lewis grew up knowing little about her country’s national game — rugby, other than watching some neighbours pass the ball around on a muddy field.(和新西兰的许多民众一样,艾玛·刘易斯从小对本国的国家运动——橄榄球知之甚少——只知道曾看到一些邻居在泥泞的场地上传球嬉戏)”可知,艾玛早期对橄榄球这项运动知之甚少。故选A。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Thanks to her sponsorship, more than 80 kids play for free each autumn for eight weeks.(多亏了她的资助,每年秋天会有超过80名孩子可以免费参加为期八周的活动)”可知,项目的主要目的是为更多孩子提供参与橄榄球运动的机会。故选D。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“She started looking around her neighbourhood for old appliances, metal and electronic items such as broken toasters, laptops and cell phones. She sorted the material behind her cafe and sold it to a local recycling centre.(她开始在自己居住的小区里四处寻找旧电器、金属制品和电子产品,比如坏掉的烤面包机、笔记本电脑和手机。她把咖啡馆后面的这些废旧物资整理分类,然后卖给了当地的回收中心)”可知,艾玛通过收集并出售二手物品为这个项目筹集资金。故选B。
【37题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Not only is far less rubbish going to landfill, she said, but “we’ve also got kids who are out on the field, not sitting in front of a phone.”(她说,不仅垃圾的填埋量大幅减少,而且“孩子们也都在户外活动,而不是坐在手机前面。”)”可知,项目显著减少了儿童屏幕时间。故选C。
C
Predictive coding, a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning, is changing our understanding of the human brain. It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active “prediction machine”. Instead of processing every detail from the beginning, our brains constantly make models of the world and guess what we will see, hear, or feel next. The difference between these predictions and the actual sensory input — termed the “prediction error”— is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models. This efficient system explains why we can easily recognize a friend’s face in a crowd or understand a sentence even with background noise.
However, this smart efficiency comes with cognitive trade-offs. A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead to built-in biases. For instance, in a famous experiment, participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likely to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles, because their brain’s prediction — based on the common idea “wheeled vehicle”— was stronger than the unclear sensory data. Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by our neural system.
The effects go beyond optical illusions (视觉幻觉) into social cognition. Research shows that stereotypes and cultural expectations work as powerful prior beliefs within the predictive coding system. When we meet someone from a group we have ideas about, our brain may reduce prediction errors by ignoring information that goes against our expectations, thereby making stronger pre-existing biases. This neural way of working provides a physical basis for “confirmation bias,” showing how our search for cognitive efficiency can accidentally continue social misunderstandings.
Importantly, the brain’s predictive system is not a fixed fate. Neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) makes sure that with continued, attention-driven contact to new and opposite evidence, the brain’s models can be changed. This is the scientific basis of learning and mindfulness practices. By purposely paying attention to prediction errors — those moments when reality surprises us — we can make our internal models change, leading to more correct perceptions and less prejudice. Thus, predictive coding not only explains the beginnings of our biases but also shows a way toward overcoming them, describing the mind as a changing, changeable system rather than a fixed recorder of reality.
38. According to the predictive coding theory, the primary function of the “prediction error” is to _________.
A. generate entirely new sensory models from scratch
B. create persistent illusions that dominate our perception
C. act as the main source of sensory information the brain receives
D. serve as the only signal for the brain to correct its internal predictions
39. The experiment involving the unclear bicycle image is mentioned to illustrate _________.
A. the superiority of human visual processing
B. how prior beliefs can change perceptual judgment
C. the difficulty in recognizing uncommon objects
D. the complete unreliability of human senses
40. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Prediction and Perception: How the Brain Constructs Reality
B. The Passive Brain: A Receiver of Information
C. The End of Stereotypes: A Neuroscience Perspective
D. Sensory Overload: The Brain’s Processing Challenge
【答案】38. D 39. B 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了预测编码理论,该理论认为大脑是一个主动的“预测机器”,通过预测与实际感官输入之间的差异来不断调整和优化其内部模型,同时探讨了这一理论在认知偏差、社会认知以及神经可塑性方面的应用和影响。
【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The difference between these predictions and the actual sensory input — termed the “prediction error” — is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models. (这些预测与实际感官输入之间的差异——被称为“预测误差”——是大脑改变其内部模型所需的唯一信息。)”可知,根据预测编码理论,“预测误差”的主要功能是作为大脑修正其内部预测的唯一信号。故选D项。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead to built-in biases. For instance, in a famous experiment, participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likely to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles, because their brain’s prediction — based on the common idea “wheeled vehicle” — was stronger than the unclear sensory data. Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by our neural system. (预测编码理论的核心观点认为,感知本质上是一种受控的虚假影像,深受我们既有信念的影响。这种机制可能导致固有的认知偏差。例如,在一个著名实验中,参与者观看了一张模糊的自行车图片后,更容易错误地识别出类似但实际未出现的物体(如独轮车)。这是因为他们大脑基于“带轮交通工具”这一常见概念作出的预测,比模糊的感官输入更加强烈。这类发现挑战了“感知如同客观摄像机”的简单观点,转而揭示出我们所“看见”的其实是神经系统作出的最佳推测。)”可知,参与者因大脑基于“带轮子的车辆”这一常见概念进行预测,而更可能错误识别独轮车。这个例子是为了说明先前的信念(如常见概念)如何改变知觉判断。故选B项。
【40题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“Predictive coding, a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning, is changing our understanding of the human brain. It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active “prediction machine”. (预测编码,这一最初在神经科学和机器学习领域发展起来的理论,正在改变我们对人类大脑的理解。它提出大脑不是感官信息的简单接收者,而是一个主动的“预测机器”。)”可知,文章主要介绍了预测编码理论,核心观点是大脑通过主动预测(而非被动接收)来构建我们对现实的感知(perception),并详细阐述了这一过程如何运作、可能带来的偏见以及改变的可能性。A项“Prediction and Perception: How the Brain Constructs Reality (预测与感知:大脑如何构建现实)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
D
In over 25 years, DeSimone has spun his research findings into commercial gold by launching several businesses. As a faculty member at the University of North Cai’olina, he provided scientific advice and held equity in the businesses. But he has never actually managed his companies. His employers bar him from simultaneously holding an academic post and an executive position. The dual roles can present huge conflicts.
Conflicts of interest (COIs)occur when an individual’s personal interests—family, friendships, financial, or social factors—could compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in the workplace, and it makes sound career sense to think about how to manage them. Researchers should disclose potential or existing conflicts across all aspects of academic life.
In most places, COI management runs on an honor system. Researchers decide which financial holdings and relationships to disclose to university administrators. Journals and funders adopt a similar system when they ask authors and peer reviewers about potential conflicts related to manuscript or grant approvals.
Most research institutions offer training to help faculty members to understand what constitutes a potential or existing conflict. Administrators then decide whether the interest presents a conflict, and whether that conflict can be handled. If so, they create a management plan to address it. If not, researchers must abandon the work, partner with researchers at other institutions, or leave their university.
Perception plays a part in defining a potential conflict, warns Walt, a chemist at Tufts University. Investigators who develop a technology in the laboratory and then transfer it to their company could create a conflict of interest in the eyes of their students, Walt says. But the potential conflict can be avoided by drafting a licensing agreement that bars discoveries from automatically being transferred to the investigator’s company. Walt created such an arrangement to assure his students that they weren’t actually working for his private companies.
Relationships can pose conflicts when conference organizers are choosing speakers. Members of the American Society for Human Genetics program committee, which selects abstracts and talks for their annual meeting, must recuse(要求回避)themselves from considering talks by, for example, researchers at their current and past institutions, close collaborators and those with whom they have personal or familial ties.
Even differing points of view can play a part. Scacheri, a geneticist who chairs the committee, says that members who have disagreed personally with potential speakers might also be obliged to recuse themselves: “If you feel like you can’t be an impartial (公正的)reviewer, that is considered a COI.”
Handling COIs can be burdensome. COI managers emphasize that the goal is not to suppress innovation, but to expose potential conflicts so that they can be managed. “Nothing about the process is meant to be prohibitive,” says Grewal, a COI officer at MIT. Her institution wants to enable good science and the betterment of humanity. “During that process,” she says, “if you make some money, that’s good as well.”
41. The example of DeSimone in Paragraph 1 is used mainly to________.
A. raise a question B. report a finding
C. introduce a topic D. present a theory
42. To better deal with COIs,________.
A. researchers have to quit their job at the university
B. researchers should report the conflicts that possibly exist
C. institutions need to monitor the staff’s career and relationships
D. institutions should train researchers to create management plans
43. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Grewal considers COI management exhausting and costly.
B. Walt arranged to transfer discoveries at his lab to his companies.
C. Conference organizers should avoid inviting unqualified speakers.
D. Scacheri believes personal viewpoints may impact a reviewer’s decision.
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. COIs can be defined depending on interpretations.
B. COIs benefit scientific innovation and better humanity.
C. COIs arise primarily due to the pursuit of financial gains.
D. COIs can be got rid of by promoting fairness in workplaces.
【答案】41. C 42. B 43. D 44. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了什么是利益冲突,以及如何避免利益冲突。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,DeSimone大学教员和公司股份持有者的双重身份导致了巨大冲突。再结合第二段的“Conflicts of interest (COIs)occur when an individual’s personal interests—family, friendships, financial, or social factors—could compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in the workplace, and it makes sound career sense to think about how to manage them.(当一个人的个人利益——家庭、友谊、经济或社会因素——可能会损害他或她在工作场所的判断、决定或行动时,利益冲突(COIs)就会发生,考虑如何管理这些利益对职业生涯来说是很有意义的)”以及下文对如何处理利益冲突的陈述推知,第一段提到DeSimone的例子是为了引出本文的话题——如何处理利益冲突。故选C。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Researchers should disclose potential or existing conflicts across all aspects of academic life.(研究人员应该揭示学术生活的各个方面潜在的或存在的冲突)”可知,为了更好的应对利益冲突,研究人员应报告可能存在的冲突。故选B。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Even differing points of view can play a part. Scacheri, a geneticist who chairs the committee, says that members who have disagreed personally with potential speakers might also be obliged to recuse themselves: “If you feel like you can’t be an impartial (公正的)reviewer, that is considered a COI.”(甚至不同的观点也能发挥作用。Scacheri是一名遗传学家,同时也是委员会主席。他说,那些个人与潜在演讲者意见不一致的成员也可能被迫回避:‘如果你觉得自己不能成为一个公正的评审员,那就被认为是COI。’)”可知,Scacheri认为个人观点可能会影响评审者的决定。故选D。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Perception plays a part in defining a potential conflict, warns Walt, a chemist at Tufts University. Investigators who develop a technology in the laboratory and then transfer it to their company could create a conflict of interest in the eyes of their students, Walt says. But the potential conflict can be avoided by drafting a licensing agreement that bars discoveries from automatically being transferred to the investigator’s company. Walt created such an arrangement to assure his students that they weren’t actually working for his private companies.(塔夫茨大学的化学家Walt警告称,理解在定义潜在冲突中起着重要作用。沃尔特说,在实验室里开发出一项技术,然后把它转移到他们公司的研究人员,在他们的学生看来可能会产生利益冲突。但通过起草一份许可协议,禁止将发现自动转让给调查人员的公司,就可以避免潜在的冲突。沃尔特这样做是为了让他的学生相信,他们实际上并不是在为他的私人公司工作)”推知,COIs的定义可以取决于理解。故选A。
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.
___45___ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand.
Modern life demands a constant handling of responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. ___46___ Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ___47___ Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations.
Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ___48___ This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others.
The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ___49___ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.
A. It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once.
B. To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view.
C. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others.
D. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle.
E. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people.
F. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.
G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength.
【答案】45. E 46. C 47. A 48. B 49. F
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“浮鸭综合征”这一概念,揭示人们如何在外表平静与成功的伪装下隐藏内心的压力和挣扎,并强调真正的成就需要承认背后的辛勤付出而非假装轻松。
【45题详解】
前文“This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm. (这种差异揭示了“浮鸭综合征”这一概念,该术语指的是人们往往会将自身内心的紧张与挣扎隐藏起来,而以表面上的成功与平静的形象来掩盖这一切。)”引入“浮鸭综合征”的概念,后文“Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. (就像鸭子一样,他们试图展现出一种成功的形象,但内心却在承受着巨大的压力。在看似平静的外表之下,隐藏着焦虑、自我怀疑以及对成功的不懈追求。)”描述类似浮鸭的一类人群的具体行为表现,空处应进一步说明“浮鸭综合征”在哪些人群中常见,因此E项“Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people. (“浮鸭综合征”在成功人士中尤其常见。)”符合语境,承接前文的概念,引出后文的具体描述,其中的high-achieving people是后文they指代的对象。故选E。
【46题详解】
前文“Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. (因此,人们试图在多个方面都表现出色,同时又掩盖自己的困境,结果导致他们的辛勤付出和所遭受的痛苦无人知晓。)”描述试图表现优秀的人会掩盖自己的付出和痛苦,后文“Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. (由于感知与现实之间的这种脱节,人们急于表现得毫不费力地成功的这种压力便显得格外明显。)”指出感知与现实的脱节导致的问题,空处应说明这种脱节的具体表现是什么,因此C项“So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others. (所以我们通常错误地认为成就对他人来说是容易的。)”符合语境,表明掩盖行为导致了错误认知,和前文的掩盖构成因果关系,引出后文的问题。故选C。
【47题详解】
前文“When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. (当我们低估了成功的重重困难时,就会发现自己在众多任务中疲于奔命,力不从心。)”描述人们因低估困难而疲于应付多个任务,后文“Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations. (尽管这种策略可能短期内取得了显著成效,但最终却让我们面临诸多未达成的期望。)”指出这种策略导致的后果,因此A项“It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once. (这就像小丑试图同时让几个球保持在空中。)”符合语境,用形象的比喻揭示同时处理多项任务的困难,承接前文的描述,引出后文的后果。故选A。
【48题详解】
前文“Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. (“浮鸭综合征”可能会对我们自身的健康状况以及人际关系产生不利影响。)”总的指出“浮鸭综合征”对健康状况及人际关系有不利影响,后文“This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. (这种对挣扎的内化不仅加重了我们的负担,还使我们与可能的支援来源渐行渐远。)”提到对挣扎的内化的负面影响,空处应描述对挣扎的内化的具体表现,因此B项“To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view. (为了保持能干的外表,我们可能将压力锁在公众视野之外。)”符合语境,承接前文总的影响,引出后文具体的负面影响,其中的public view和后文的internalization形成对比。故选B。
【49题详解】
前文“The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. (“轻而易举就能成功”的这种想法背后隐藏着更深层次的真相。)”引出更深层次的真相,后文“By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward. (通过承认自身的弱点并认可这些努力,我们能够营造出一种开放和关爱的氛围——在这种氛围中,寻求帮助不再被视为软弱的表现,而被视为勇敢向前迈进的一步。)”建议承认弱点并认可努力,在开放和关爱的氛围中寻求帮助,空处应揭示该真相,因此F项“True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them. (真正的成就通常要求我们接受其背后的辛勤工作。)”符合语境,承接前文的真相,引出后文的认可努力。故选F。

Liberal Arts’ Hidden Value
If you have to pick one, who do you think made greater contributions to the world: physicist Isaac Newton or philosopher Aristotle?
Chances are that you’d find it hard to make a decision. But when choosing a major in college, the line between the two areas couldn’t be clearer. Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities, while those who choose a liberal arts (文科) major—language, music, philosophy—may have more difficulty finding a job.
But perhaps we should look at liberal arts studies in another way to understand its value. In the documentary Civilizations, for example, presenters (主持人) take us to 31 countries to appreciate human creativity, such as the Great Wall and the Pyramids. To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technology, but about liberal arts or creating things to leave a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire.
By comparing science and liberal arts, we’re drawing “an artificial line” between the two, said Loretta Jackson, an associate professor at Rhodes College in Memphis, US. And to some of the greatest innovators (革新者) in history, this line never existed. Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was an outstanding scientist and painter. He was so interested in biology and anatomy (解剖学) that he drew the famous Vitruvian Man, which perfectly shows proportions (比例) of the human body. Then there’s Steve Jobs, who is an engineer and also an artist. He summarized the relationship between science and arts: “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts that brings us what makes our heart sing.”
50. Why is science more attractive when students choose a major in college?
51. According to Simon Schama, what is the value of liberal arts in human civilization?
52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
►Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role.
53. What major will you choose in college? Explain your reasons. (In about 40 words)
【答案】50. Because it offers many opportunities.
51. The value of liberal arts in human civilization lies in the fact that it leaves a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire.
52. Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role.
53. I will choose science majors in college, because it offers many opportunities and enables me to find a good job after graduation. If I choose liberal arts majors, it is possible that I won’t find jobs.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要论述的是人文学科的潜在价值。
【50题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities(科学专业,如技术、工程、数学,被认为是更实际的选择,因为机会丰富)”可知,学生在大学选择专业时,科学更有吸引力是因为它提供了很多机会,即Because it offers many opportunities。故答案为Because it offers many opportunities。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technology, but about liberal arts or creating things to leave a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire.(对主持人之一Simon Schama来说,人类文明不仅与技术有关,还与人文艺术或创造东西有关,这些东西能留下一个人的存在印记,供未来的人类见证和欣赏)”可知,西蒙·沙玛认为,人文学科在人类文明中的价值是这些东西能留下一个人的存在印记,供未来的人类见证和欣赏,答案为“The value of liberal arts in human civilization lies in the fact that it leaves a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire”,故答案为The value of liberal arts in human civilization lies in the fact that it leaves a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts that brings us what makes our heart sing.(在苹果的DNA中,只有技术是不够的,只有技术与人文艺术结合,才能让我们的心歌唱)”可知,Steve Jobs的意思是技术和人文艺术要结合,而没有说谁比谁更重要,因此错误的部分是“played a more important role”。故答案为Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第二段的“Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities, while those who choose a liberal arts (文科) major—language, music, philosophy—may have more difficulty finding a job.(科学专业,如技术、工程、数学,被认为是更实际的选择,因为机会丰富,而那些选择文科专业(语言、音乐、哲学)的人可能更难找到工作)”及个人想法可知,在大学我会选择科学专业,因为它提供了很多机会,能让我在毕业后找到一份好工作。如果我选择文科专业,有可能找不到工作,故答案为I will choose science majors in college, because it offers many opportunities and enables me to find a good job after graduation. If I choose liberal arts majors, it is possible that I won’t find jobs。

【答案】Dear Jim,
Thank you for inviting me to share my thoughts on reading in the information age.
The digital age reshapes reading profoundly. While e-books and online articles offer instant access to global knowledge, fragmented information and digital distractions hinder deep reading.
To adapt, I blend digital and traditional methods. For quick updates, I read e-books on my phone for convenience. Yet, for serious learning, I choose paper books — they boost focus and memory without screen interruptions. I also allocate daily screen-free reading time to avoid distractions.
This hybrid strategy balances efficiency with thoughtful engagement. Hope it aids your project!
Yours,
Li Hua

Like many people in New Zealand, Emma Lewis grew up knowing little about her country’s national game — rugby, other than watching some neighbours pass the ball around on a muddy field.
It was only when her two kids started playing rugby as part of their training for netball that she really took notice. Her son, Ben, went on to do very well in rugby and now plays for the Wellington Waves in a national youth rugby league.
Both came up through the Harbour Junior Rugby Club (HJRC), in the Wellington area, which has been around since 1905. When the number of players in the kids’ teams began falling in 2019, Ms. Lewis, who runs a small cafe in Wellington, volunteered to help. She offered to sponsor the “Tiny Ferns” program, which introduced kids aged 7 and 8 to the game.
Thanks to her sponsorship, more than 80 kids play for free each autumn for eight weeks. They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a soft rugby ball and a green shirt. “They are taught to catch, pass, run and score in a non-contact setting,” she said. “You get them running around. You get them off their devices. It is our national game, so you let them feel it. And sure enough, they enjoy it.”
To fund the program, Ms. Lewis came up with a new idea. She started looking around her neighbourhood for old appliances, metal and electronic items such as broken toasters, laptops and cell phones. She sorted the material behind her cafe and sold it to a local recycling centre. “People now bring their old electronics and metal to the back door,” she said. The recycling brings in around $15,000 a year, which covers the cost of the rugby program.
Ms. Lewis said watching the kids play has given her a lot of happiness. Not only is far less rubbish going to landfill, she said, but “we’ve also got kids who are out on the field, not sitting in front of a phone.”

Predictive coding, a theory originally developed in neuroscience and machine learning, is changing our understanding of the human brain. It proposes that the brain is not a simple receiver of sensory information but an active “prediction machine”. Instead of processing every detail from the beginning, our brains constantly make models of the world and guess what we will see, hear, or feel next. The difference between these predictions and the actual sensory input — termed the “prediction error”— is the only information the brain needs to change its internal models. This efficient system explains why we can easily recognize a friend’s face in a crowd or understand a sentence even with background noise.
However, this smart efficiency comes with cognitive trade-offs. A core idea of predictive coding is that perception is in its nature a controlled false image, heavily shaped by what we already believe. This can lead to built-in biases. For instance, in a famous experiment, participants shown a not clear image of a bicycle were later more likely to wrongly recognize similar but not present objects like unicycles, because their brain’s prediction — based on the common idea “wheeled vehicle”— was stronger than the unclear sensory data. Such findings challenge the simple view of perception as an objective camera, suggesting instead that what we “see” is a best guess made by our neural system.
The effects go beyond optical illusions (视觉幻觉) into social cognition. Research shows that stereotypes and cultural expectations work as powerful prior beliefs within the predictive coding system. When we meet someone from a group we have ideas about, our brain may reduce prediction errors by ignoring information that goes against our expectations, thereby making stronger pre-existing biases. This neural way of working provides a physical basis for “confirmation bias,” showing how our search for cognitive efficiency can accidentally continue social misunderstandings.
Importantly, the brain’s predictive system is not a fixed fate. Neuroplasticity (神经可塑性) makes sure that with continued, attention-driven contact to new and opposite evidence, the brain’s models can be changed. This is the scientific basis of learning and mindfulness practices. By purposely paying attention to prediction errors — those moments when reality surprises us — we can make our internal models change, leading to more correct perceptions and less prejudice. Thus, predictive coding not only explains the beginnings of our biases but also shows a way toward overcoming them, describing the mind as a changing, changeable system rather than a fixed recorder of reality.
38. According to the predictive coding theory, the primary function of the “prediction error” is to _________.
A. generate entirely new sensory models from scratch
B. create persistent illusions that dominate our perception
C. act as the main source of sensory information the brain receives
D. serve as the only signal for the brain to correct its internal predictions
39. The experiment involving the unclear bicycle image is mentioned to illustrate _________.
A. the superiority of human visual processing
B. how prior beliefs can change perceptual judgment
C. the difficulty in recognizing uncommon objects
D. the complete unreliability of human senses
40. Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?

B. The Passive Brain: A Receiver of Information
C. The End of Stereotypes: A Neuroscience Perspective
D. Sensory Overload: The Brain’s Processing Challenge

In over 25 years, DeSimone has spun his research findings into commercial gold by launching several businesses. As a faculty member at the University of North Cai’olina, he provided scientific advice and held equity in the businesses. But he has never actually managed his companies. His employers bar him from simultaneously holding an academic post and an executive position. The dual roles can present huge conflicts.
Conflicts of interest (COIs)occur when an individual’s personal interests—family, friendships, financial, or social factors—could compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in the workplace, and it makes sound career sense to think about how to manage them. Researchers should disclose potential or existing conflicts across all aspects of academic life.
In most places, COI management runs on an honor system. Researchers decide which financial holdings and relationships to disclose to university administrators. Journals and funders adopt a similar system when they ask authors and peer reviewers about potential conflicts related to manuscript or grant approvals.
Most research institutions offer training to help faculty members to understand what constitutes a potential or existing conflict. Administrators then decide whether the interest presents a conflict, and whether that conflict can be handled. If so, they create a management plan to address it. If not, researchers must abandon the work, partner with researchers at other institutions, or leave their university.
Perception plays a part in defining a potential conflict, warns Walt, a chemist at Tufts University. Investigators who develop a technology in the laboratory and then transfer it to their company could create a conflict of interest in the eyes of their students, Walt says. But the potential conflict can be avoided by drafting a licensing agreement that bars discoveries from automatically being transferred to the investigator’s company. Walt created such an arrangement to assure his students that they weren’t actually working for his private companies.
Relationships can pose conflicts when conference organizers are choosing speakers. Members of the American Society for Human Genetics program committee, which selects abstracts and talks for their annual meeting, must recuse(要求回避)themselves from considering talks by, for example, researchers at their current and past institutions, close collaborators and those with whom they have personal or familial ties.
Even differing points of view can play a part. Scacheri, a geneticist who chairs the committee, says that members who have disagreed personally with potential speakers might also be obliged to recuse themselves: “If you feel like you can’t be an impartial (公正的)reviewer, that is considered a COI.”
Handling COIs can be burdensome. COI managers emphasize that the goal is not to suppress innovation, but to expose potential conflicts so that they can be managed. “Nothing about the process is meant to be prohibitive,” says Grewal, a COI officer at MIT. Her institution wants to enable good science and the betterment of humanity. “During that process,” she says, “if you make some money, that’s good as well.”
41. The example of DeSimone in Paragraph 1 is used mainly to________.
A. raise a question B. report a finding
C. introduce a topic D. present a theory
42. To better deal with COIs,________.
A. researchers have to quit their job at the university
B. researchers should report the conflicts that possibly exist
C. institutions need to monitor the staff’s career and relationships
D. institutions should train researchers to create management plans
43. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Grewal considers COI management exhausting and costly.
B. Walt arranged to transfer discoveries at his lab to his companies.
C. Conference organizers should avoid inviting unqualified speakers.
D. Scacheri believes personal viewpoints may impact a reviewer’s decision.
44. What can we infer from the passage?
A. COIs can be defined depending on interpretations.
B. COIs benefit scientific innovation and better humanity.
C. COIs arise primarily due to the pursuit of financial gains.
D. COIs can be got rid of by promoting fairness in workplaces.
第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
Have you ever seen a duck gracefully floating on a pond? While it appears peaceful above the water, its feet are paddling fast to stay afloat underneath. This contrast illustrates “floating duck syndrome”, a term that describes the tendency for people to mask their internal stress and struggles behind an appearance of outward success and calm.
___45___ Just like ducks, they attempt to present an image of accomplishment while struggling with internal stress. Underneath the calm appearance, there is anxiety, self-doubt, and the persistent pursuit of achievement. This is a struggle hidden from casual observation but keenly felt by those who experience it firsthand.
Modern life demands a constant handling of responsibilities across school, work, family, and leisure. Therefore, individuals try to be outstanding in multiple areas while covering up their struggles, leading to their hard work and sufferings going unnoticed. ___46___ Through this disconnection between perception and reality, the pressure to appear effortlessly successful becomes obvious. When we underestimate the challenges of success, we find ourselves stretched thin across a large number of tasks. ___47___ Although this strategy might have apparent victories, it ultimately leaves us with many unmet expectations.
Floating duck syndrome can have concerning impacts on our well-being and connectedness. ___48___ This internalization of struggle not only adds weight to our burdens but also separates us from potential sources of support. We may cheat ourselves into believing that we must deal with our challenges alone, without needing help from others. This only makes it harder to cope effectively and denies us the opportunity to connect genuinely with others.
The idea of easy success hides a deeper truth. ___49___ By accepting our weakness and acknowledging these efforts, we promote a culture of openness and care — one where seeking help is not viewed as a sign of weakness, but rather as a courageous step forward.
A. It is like jokers trying to keep several balls in the air at once.
B. To keep a capable appearance, we may lock the stress away from public view.
C. So we usually mistakenly believe that achievements come easily to others.
D. These findings highlight our tendency to cover up visible signs of struggle.
E. Floating duck syndrome is particularly common among high-achieving people.
F. True achievements often require us to accept the hard work behind them.
G. We may feel pressured to present an outward image of competence and strength.

Liberal Arts’ Hidden Value
If you have to pick one, who do you think made greater contributions to the world: physicist Isaac Newton or philosopher Aristotle?
Chances are that you’d find it hard to make a decision. But when choosing a major in college, the line between the two areas couldn’t be clearer. Science majors, such as technology, engineering, math, are considered to be more practical choices because of the wealth of opportunities, while those who choose a liberal arts (文科) major—language, music, philosophy—may have more difficulty finding a job.
But perhaps we should look at liberal arts studies in another way to understand its value. In the documentary Civilizations, for example, presenters (主持人) take us to 31 countries to appreciate human creativity, such as the Great Wall and the Pyramids. To Simon Schama, one of the presenters, human civilization isn’t just about technology, but about liberal arts or creating things to leave a person’s mark of their existence for future humans to witness and admire.
By comparing science and liberal arts, we’re drawing “an artificial line” between the two, said Loretta Jackson, an associate professor at Rhodes College in Memphis, US. And to some of the greatest innovators (革新者) in history, this line never existed. Leonardo da Vinci, for example, was an outstanding scientist and painter. He was so interested in biology and anatomy (解剖学) that he drew the famous Vitruvian Man, which perfectly shows proportions (比例) of the human body. Then there’s Steve Jobs, who is an engineer and also an artist. He summarized the relationship between science and arts: “It’s in Apple’s DNA that technology alone is not enough—it’s technology married with liberal arts that brings us what makes our heart sing.”
50. Why is science more attractive when students choose a major in college?
51. According to Simon Schama, what is the value of liberal arts in human civilization?
52. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
►Steve Jobs concluded that technology contributed to Apple’s success, but liberal arts played a more important role.
53. What major will you choose in college? Explain your reasons. (In about 40 words)
