Sent through the washing. Eaten by insects. Bitten by a dog. These are just some of the ways that books can be damaged, as seen on a recent afternoon at the Weissman Preservation Center.
Students in “Texts in Transition,” a GenEd class taught by Professors Ann Blair and Leah Whittington, were visiting the Weissman Preservation Center to witness preservation firsthand. Their course explores how written works are passed down through time.
Conservators play a vital role in this process. Their work — repairing torn manuscripts (手稿), reducing insect damage, and so on — ensures the survival of texts from the ancient to the present. At the Weissman Preservation Center, students learn what happens behind the scenes when conservators step in to keep materials usable and preserve them for the future. “Harvard Library not only has remarkable materials gathered over generations but also expert staff who allow students to experience these treasures up close and from new views,” said Blair, a professor in the History Department.
As students handled the papers, ink and paints before them, they studied the evidence manuscripts offer researchers and the complexities of preservation. “What happens when the original material is no longer available?” one student asked. “Any treatment we apply must not harm the object and can be restored,” explained Eliza, Senior Paper Conservator. “We always respect the integrity of the materials and only make changes that can be reversed, which is important in our conservation standards.”
The class concluded with a close-looking exercise. Using angle lights and pocket microscopes, students examined manuscripts on the table, amazed at iridescent (泛着虹彩的) inks of the pages. One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career.”
4. What is the “Texts in Transition” course intended to do?
A. Teach literary writing.
B. Train paper conservators.
C. Observe ancient books.
D. Explore the survival of old texts.
5. What is special about the Weissman Preservation Center?
A. It mainly centers on repairable treasures.
B. It relies on support from Harvard Library.
C. It houses the largest ancient book collection.
D. It allows a thorough look at the preservation process.
6. What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Changed back. B. Recreated.
C. Turned over. D. Polished.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The course inspired career interest.
B. New techniques were used in repairs.
C. Texts were restored with special inks.
D. Students improved photographic skills.
C
“Ghost gear” refers to lost or abandoned fishing nets, a highly destructive pollutant in oceans. Each year, approximately 1 million tons of such gear are discarded at sea, accounting for up to 86% of large marine floating plastics. Unlike visible plastic waste like bottles, it sinks into the deep ocean, continuously trapping sea animals, producing microplastics and endangering navigation.
To address this issue, organizations like Conservation International have launched programs worldwide. A distinctive project in Mexico focuses on training female divers known as sirenas to clear away ghost gear and help coastal communities gain a direct understanding of the pollution’s harm.
These female divers rely on commercial fishing as their primary income source but volunteer for the cleanup. After professional training and certification, they start searching for and removing dangerous ghost gear. The operation tests their physical limits and patience to the fullest. As many as 117 sailors once invested over 40 hours in clearing a massive 300-foot-long fishing net. Their diving experience has completely transformed their perception of the ocean. By engaging with communities and fishing cooperatives, they have gradually gained recognition, carving out a space for women in marine conservation within the male-dominated fishing industry.
Undoubtedly, prevention deserves the equal priority to cleanup. The Global Ghost Gear Initiative has developed a reporting system for fishers to notify lost gear for timely recovery and provided them with region-specific recommendations, such as avoiding operations in severe weather and storing gear properly.
In selected regions, fishing nets bear unique identifiers, enabling the precise tracking of their ownership by individuals or commercial fisheries post-recovery and instantly locking down whoever is at fault. “Once your fishing gear is attached to distinct identifiers, it facilitates a heightened sense of individual accountability, which in turn generates a concrete effect on your behavioral approach to fishing practices,” notes Jimenez, a marine biologist.
The governance of ghost gear demands cooperation among fishers, researchers and policymakers. By changing mindsets and taking effective measures, this campaign against ocean “ghosts” is advancing steadily, injecting hope for the sustainable future of marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
8. How does ghost gear differ from other marine plastics?
A. It’s harder to detect. B. It’s distributed more extensively.
C. It takes longer to break down. D. It floats evenly in shallower water.
9. Why does the author mention the 300-foot-long net removal example?
A. To showcase training effect. B. To emphasize potential net risks.
C. To highlight work efficiency. D. To demonstrate cleanup challenges.
10. What can we infer from Jimenez’s words?
A. Labels avoid fishing net loss. B. Technology reshapes productivity.
C. Markings boost responsibility. D. Identity validation guarantees security.
11. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Deep-sea Ghost Gear: Silent Killers.
B. Sirenas: Dedicated Ocean Guardians.
C. Multi-dimensional Actions: Tackling Marine Ghosts.
D. For Marine Conservation: Mind Your Fishing Gear.
D
In New Jersey’s suburban intersections, an immature Cooper’s hawk (鹰) was at work. It was unfolding a novel hunting strategy that would astonish even seasoned ethologists, which was documented by University of Tennessee researcher Vladimir Dinetes in his study Street smarts: a remarkable adaptation in a city-wintering raptor (猛禽).
Over 18 freezing winter mornings, Dinetes observed from a parked vehicle as birds gathered on the sidewalk to eat food left by residents. In a nearby tree, a young hawk waited, listening for a specific electric sound that signals it’s safe to cross the street. This high tone, tied to a red-light extension from 30 to 90 seconds, meant cars would stretch farther back along the block, forming a dense line. When that line reached a certain point, the hawk would launch an attack, flying low along the sidewalk, hidden by the line of waiting cars. Then it would slip, bursting into the birds’ feeding space and securing an exceptionally high hunting success rate.
Critically, the hawk avoided attacks on weekends when cars didn’t line up sufficiently long to provide a visual barrier. This selectivity proved no accident: The hawk had learned to link the signal sound, traffic patterns and hunting opportunities.
Cooper’s hawks, once restricted to deep woodlands, have inhabited North American cities since the 1970s, but only one urban-adapted behavior — hunting near sunset lights — was previously recorded. Dinetes’ finding adds a far more complex strategy, one that demands mapping environments, tracking time-based clues and carrying out plans.
Dinetes explains, “The hawk doesn’t evolve urban skills anew but uses pre-existing problem-solving ability meant for forest hunts where it measures flight angles and escape paths amid branches. Its forest hunting skill translates into viewing city traffic as branches and crosswalks as tree gaps. This cross-contextual thinking — where a biological instinct is adapted to an artificial landscape — is one of the hallmarks of intelligence in the animal kingdom.”
As cities grow, understanding how animals adapt will be crucial for conservation and coexistence strategies. The study highlights the interplay between wildlife and human environments.
12. What does the author primarily intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. Local residents care for birds well. B. Prolonged signal duration causes traffic jam.
C. The hawk is skilled at timing its hunt. D. The hawk tends to launch attacks randomly.
13. Why did the hawk avoid its hunt on weekends?
A. Birds didn’t search for food then. B. Light traffic failed to provide enough cover.
C. Traffic lights were out of function. D. Bystanders interfered with its behavior.
14. What lesson can we learn from the hawk’s cross-contextual thinking?
A. Use available resources strategically. B. A patient heart eats the sweet fruit.
C. Don’t follow others blindly. D. The early bird catches the worm.
15. What kind of writing method is mainly used in the text?
A. Explaining a finding with relevant data. B. Defending a view through an experiment.
C. Presenting a study with specific facts. D. Narrating a story in time order.

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。
A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. ____16____ I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.
Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle. ____17____ It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it.
Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____18____ Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on.
Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?” ____19____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.
____20____ Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters.
A. It just feels right to keep them.
B. More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.
C. Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers.
D. The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.
E. We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are.
F. That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.
G. The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.

I’ve finally faced the fear that has troubled me for 30 years. Like millions, I fear flying. When my daughter moved to Beijing, I knew I had to ____21____ it.
Flying terrifies me — heart racing and legs shaking. I’m not ____22____. Research shows many share this fear. And for me, frequent short work flights only made it ____23____, especially those lonely late-night ones.
With a visit to China coming, I ____24____ for an airline-offered course called “Flying with Confidence”. At the airport, I was ____25____ by how many others had paid £399 to face the same fear. Among them was Mia, who stopped flying after a sudden panic attack. Now pregnant (怀孕), she wanted to ____26____ passing her fear down to her child.
Pilots led the morning session. Learning ____27____, like a plane gliding (滑行) 100 miles if engines stop, was comforting. They emphasized the ____28____ safety rules and over 100,000 safe flights daily.
The afternoon focused on ____29____. The doctor patiently explained that “fear of fear” is common. He taught “breathe and squeeze” — slow breaths to control stress chemicals, and muscle squeezes to focus the mind. We practiced and it _____30_____.
Then came the _____31_____ flight. As we boarded, earlier excitement turned to obvious _____32_____. Captain Miller provided a calming broadcast. When turbulence (气流) hit, I used the _____33_____ technique. For the first time, panic didn’t _____34_____.
The moment I exited the plane was emotional. My hands were still shaking, but my heart was already racing _____35_____, to my daughter in Beijing.

31. A. personal B. normal C. final D. actual
32. A. boredom B. disappointment C. tension D. confusion
33. A. traditional B. learned C. inspiring D. usual
34. A. show off B. break down C. take over D. fade away

In early November, seeders moved up and down the fields, placing wheat seeds in the soil in ____36____ agricultural district of Dongying, Shandong province. It’s hard to imagine back in 2010, nothing would grow on the bare, white stretch of saline-alkaline land (盐碱地), just thin cotton with ____37____ (pitiful) low yields. “The land was considered worthless. Fellow farmers rented it to me for only 50 yuan per mu.” said Li Dianquan, a local farmer ____38____ family has farmed this land for generations.
On the shores of the Bohai Sea where the winding Yellow River ____39____ (empty) into the ocean, Dongying’s landscape has been shaped by an unusual geographical legacy.

The fourth general conference called for enhancing overall agricultural production performance, quality and efficiency. Saline-alkaline land use is crucial to this effort,____44____ (hold)significant strategic importance for national food security.

The class concluded with a close-looking exercise. Using angle lights and pocket microscopes, students examined manuscripts on the table, amazed at iridescent (泛着虹彩的) inks of the pages. One student, enthusiastic about her discoveries, set up her phone to photograph the scene. Turning to senior rare book conservator Jody Beenk, she declared, “I think I have found my career.”

“Ghost gear” refers to lost or abandoned fishing nets, a highly destructive pollutant in oceans. Each year, approximately 1 million tons of such gear are discarded at sea, accounting for up to 86% of large marine floating plastics. Unlike visible plastic waste like bottles, it sinks into the deep ocean, continuously trapping sea animals, producing microplastics and endangering navigation.
To address this issue, organizations like Conservation International have launched programs worldwide. A distinctive project in Mexico focuses on training female divers known as sirenas to clear away ghost gear and help coastal communities gain a direct understanding of the pollution’s harm.
These female divers rely on commercial fishing as their primary income source but volunteer for the cleanup. After professional training and certification, they start searching for and removing dangerous ghost gear. The operation tests their physical limits and patience to the fullest. As many as 117 sailors once invested over 40 hours in clearing a massive 300-foot-long fishing net. Their diving experience has completely transformed their perception of the ocean. By engaging with communities and fishing cooperatives, they have gradually gained recognition, carving out a space for women in marine conservation within the male-dominated fishing industry.
Undoubtedly, prevention deserves the equal priority to cleanup. The Global Ghost Gear Initiative has developed a reporting system for fishers to notify lost gear for timely recovery and provided them with region-specific recommendations, such as avoiding operations in severe weather and storing gear properly.
In selected regions, fishing nets bear unique identifiers, enabling the precise tracking of their ownership by individuals or commercial fisheries post-recovery and instantly locking down whoever is at fault. “Once your fishing gear is attached to distinct identifiers, it facilitates a heightened sense of individual accountability, which in turn generates a concrete effect on your behavioral approach to fishing practices,” notes Jimenez, a marine biologist.
The governance of ghost gear demands cooperation among fishers, researchers and policymakers. By changing mindsets and taking effective measures, this campaign against ocean “ghosts” is advancing steadily, injecting hope for the sustainable future of marine ecosystems and coastal communities.
8. How does ghost gear differ from other marine plastics?
A. It’s harder to detect. B. It’s distributed more extensively.
C. It takes longer to break down. D. It floats evenly in shallower water.
9. Why does the author mention the 300-foot-long net removal example?
A. To showcase training effect. B. To emphasize potential net risks.
C. To highlight work efficiency. D. To demonstrate cleanup challenges.
10. What can we infer from Jimenez’s words?
A. Labels avoid fishing net loss. B. Technology reshapes productivity.
C. Markings boost responsibility. D. Identity validation guarantees security.
11. What can be the best title of the text?
A. Deep-sea Ghost Gear: Silent Killers.
B. Sirenas: Dedicated Ocean Guardians.
C. Multi-dimensional Actions: Tackling Marine Ghosts.
D. For Marine Conservation: Mind Your Fishing Gear.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了幽灵渔具对海洋的巨大危害,以及人们从清理、预防、监管多方面采取措施治理该问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Unlike visible plastic waste like bottles, it sinks into the deep ocean, continuously trapping sea animals, producing microplastics and endangering navigation. (与瓶子等可见的塑料垃圾不同,它会沉入深海,不断困住海洋动物,产生微塑料,危及航行)”可知,幽灵渔具和其他海洋塑料不同,它沉入深海、更难被检测到。故选A项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The operation tests their physical limits and patience to the fullest. As many as 117 sailors once invested over 40 hours in clearing a massive 300-foot-long fishing net. (这项行动最大限度地考验了她们的体力和耐心。多达117名水手曾投入超过40小时清理一条长达300英尺的巨大渔网)”可知,作者提到清理300英尺长的渔网是为了展示清理工作的挑战性。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Once your fishing gear is attached to distinct identifiers, it facilitates a heightened sense of individual accountability, which in turn generates a concrete effect on your behavioral approach to fishing practices, (一旦你的渔具贴上了独特的标识,就会增强个人的责任感,进而对你的捕鱼行为产生具体的影响)”可知,从Jimenez的话中我们可以推断出标记能增强责任感。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段““Ghost gear” refers to lost or abandoned fishing nets, a highly destructive pollutant in oceans.(“幽灵渔具”是指丢失或遗弃的渔网,这是海洋中一种极具破坏性的污染物)”、最后一段“The governance of ghost gear demands cooperation among fishers, researchers and policymakers.(幽灵渔具的治理需要渔民、研究人员和政策制定者之间的合作)”以及文章内容可知,本文既介绍幽灵渔具的危害,又介绍多国组织、人员从清理、预防、监管多方面采取措施,所以“多维行动:对抗海洋幽灵”适合作为文章标题。故选C项。
D
In New Jersey’s suburban intersections, an immature Cooper’s hawk (鹰) was at work. It was unfolding a novel hunting strategy that would astonish even seasoned ethologists, which was documented by University of Tennessee researcher Vladimir Dinetes in his study Street smarts: a remarkable adaptation in a city-wintering raptor (猛禽).
Over 18 freezing winter mornings, Dinetes observed from a parked vehicle as birds gathered on the sidewalk to eat food left by residents. In a nearby tree, a young hawk waited, listening for a specific electric sound that signals it’s safe to cross the street. This high tone, tied to a red-light extension from 30 to 90 seconds, meant cars would stretch farther back along the block, forming a dense line. When that line reached a certain point, the hawk would launch an attack, flying low along the sidewalk, hidden by the line of waiting cars. Then it would slip, bursting into the birds’ feeding space and securing an exceptionally high hunting success rate.
Critically, the hawk avoided attacks on weekends when cars didn’t line up sufficiently long to provide a visual barrier. This selectivity proved no accident: The hawk had learned to link the signal sound, traffic patterns and hunting opportunities.
Cooper’s hawks, once restricted to deep woodlands, have inhabited North American cities since the 1970s, but only one urban-adapted behavior — hunting near sunset lights — was previously recorded. Dinetes’ finding adds a far more complex strategy, one that demands mapping environments, tracking time-based clues and carrying out plans.
Dinetes explains, “The hawk doesn’t evolve urban skills anew but uses pre-existing problem-solving ability meant for forest hunts where it measures flight angles and escape paths amid branches. Its forest hunting skill translates into viewing city traffic as branches and crosswalks as tree gaps. This cross-contextual thinking — where a biological instinct is adapted to an artificial landscape — is one of the hallmarks of intelligence in the animal kingdom.”
As cities grow, understanding how animals adapt will be crucial for conservation and coexistence strategies. The study highlights the interplay between wildlife and human environments.
12. What does the author primarily intend to tell us in paragraph 2?
A. Local residents care for birds well. B. Prolonged signal duration causes traffic jam.
C. The hawk is skilled at timing its hunt. D. The hawk tends to launch attacks randomly.
13. Why did the hawk avoid its hunt on weekends?
A. Birds didn’t search for food then. B. Light traffic failed to provide enough cover.
C. Traffic lights were out of function. D. Bystanders interfered with its behavior.
14. What lesson can we learn from the hawk’s cross-contextual thinking?
A. Use available resources strategically. B. A patient heart eats the sweet fruit.
C. Don’t follow others blindly. D. The early bird catches the worm.
15. What kind of writing method is mainly used in the text?
A. Explaining a finding with relevant data. B. Defending a view through an experiment.
C. Presenting a study with specific facts. D. Narrating a story in time order.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了鹰在城市环境中展现出的复杂狩猎策略及跨情境思维能力。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“When that line reached a certain point, the hawk would launch an attack, flying low along the sidewalk, hidden by the line of waiting cars. Then it would slip, bursting into the birds’ feeding space and securing an exceptionally high hunting success rate.(当车流排到一定长度时,鹰便发起攻击,沿着人行道低空飞行,被排队等候的车辆遮挡。随后它猛冲过去,闯入鸟群觅食区,狩猎成功率极高)”可知,这只鹰非常擅长把握狩猎时机。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Critically, the hawk avoided attacks on weekends when cars didn’t line up sufficiently long to provide a visual barrier.(至关重要的是,鹰会避免在周末发动攻击,因为周末车辆没有排成足够长的队来提供视觉屏障)”可知,周末车辆少,无法为鹰提供足够的掩护,所以鹰避免在周末狩猎。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Dinetes explains, ‘The hawk doesn’t evolve urban skills anew but uses pre-existing problem-solving ability meant for forest hunts where it measures flight angles and escape paths amid branches. Its forest hunting skill translates into viewing city traffic as branches and crosswalks as tree gaps. This cross-contextual thinking — where a biological instinct is adapted to an artificial landscape — is one of the hallmarks of intelligence in the animal kingdom.’(迪内特解释说:‘鹰并没有重新进化出城市技能,而是使用了原本用于森林狩猎的预先存在的解决问题的能力,在森林中它会测量树枝间的飞行角度和逃生路径。它的森林狩猎技能转化为将城市交通视为树枝,将人行横道视为树间空隙。这种跨情境思维——将生物本能适应到人工环境中——是动物王国中智力的标志之一。’)”可知,鹰把原本用于森林狩猎的技能转化到城市环境中,也就是有策略地利用现有的资源。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其根据第一段“In New Jersey’s suburban intersections, an immature Cooper’s hawk (鹰) was at work. It was unfolding a novel hunting strategy that would astonish even seasoned ethologists, which was documented by University of Tennessee researcher Vladimir Dinetes in his study Street smarts: a remarkable adaptation in a city-wintering raptor (猛禽).(在新泽西州的郊区十字路口,一只尚未成年的库珀鹰正在行动。它展现出一种全新的捕猎策略,就连经验丰富的动物行为学家也会为之惊叹。田纳西大学研究员弗拉基米尔・迪内特斯在其研究《街头智慧:越冬猛禽在城市中的非凡适应能力》中记录了这一现象)”可知,第一段引入一个令人惊奇的研究发现;第二、三段详细描述研究的观察过程和具体事实(如鹰如何利用声音和车流捕猎,为何周末不捕猎);第四段将这一发现与已知的鹰的城市适应行为进行对比,突出其复杂性;第五段引用研究者的解释,阐述其背后的科学原理。整篇文章都是围绕迪内特斯的这项研究展开,用具体的观察事实(如18个早晨的观察、特定的声音、车流长度、成功率等)来呈现这项研究及其意义。所以文章主要是通过具体事实来呈现一项研究。故选C。
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。
A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. ____16____ I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.
Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle. ____17____ It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it.
Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____18____ Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on.
Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?” ____19____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.
____20____ Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters.
A. It just feels right to keep them.
B. More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.
C. Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers.
D. The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.
E. We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are.
F. That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.
G. The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.
【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是“禀赋效应”的表现,产生的原因和应对的方法。
【16题详解】
前文“A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday.(几天前,我试着清理一些旧课本。内心深处,我知道自己再也不会读它们了。然而,我还是觉得也许它们某天会有用)”提到作者想清理旧校书,知道不会再读但又觉得也许某天会有用,后文“I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.(我可能并非只有自己有这种纠结:这种挣扎是一种被称为“禀赋效应”的现象)”说明这种矛盾心理是普遍存在的。A选项“It just feels right to keep them.(留着它们感觉就是对的)”很好地体现了这种矛盾心理,即虽然知道可能不会再读,但留着又觉得合理,符合语境,故选A。
【17题详解】
前文“Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle.(证明这种效应存在的心理学家发现,人们对自己拥有的一瓶酒的售价比他们愿意为购买同一瓶酒所出的价格要高得多)”举例说明人们对自己拥有的物品要价高,对购买相同物品出价低。G选项“The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.(这种不一致表明,我们仅仅因为拥有某物就对其估值过高)”是对前文现象的总结,符合语境,故选G。
【18题详解】
前文“At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it.(起初,研究人员认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例,即失去某物的痛苦感觉是获得同等事物所带来的愉悦感的两倍)”说研究人员最初认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例,后文“Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours.(心理学家得出结论:我们仅仅因为某样东西属于自己就会更看重它)”说心理学家得出结论是因为物品是自己的所以更看重它。F选项“That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.(这听起来合理,但真正的原因是所有权本身)”起到了转折作用,引出了真正的原因,符合上下文逻辑,故选F。
【19题详解】
前文“When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?”(当你犹豫是否要扔掉某样东西时,问问自己:“我现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买下这个东西?”)”说当犹豫是否扔掉东西时,问自己现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买这个东西。B选项“More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.(通常情况下,答案是“没什么(指不愿花钱再买回自己拥有的东西)”)”承接上文,说明很多时候对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低,与后文“If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.(如果是这样,那就清楚地表明,你重视这件物品不是因为它的实用性,而仅仅是因为禀赋效应)”对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低的原因是禀赋效应相呼应,故选B。
【20题详解】
后文“Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well.(除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间,它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去)”说除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间,它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去,说明禀赋效应有不好的影响。D选项“The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.(拥有物品的成本往往比我们想象的要高得多)”概括了后文内容,说明禀赋效应带来的危害,故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述山东东营盐碱地改良、小麦新品种种植以及国家粮食安全与生态农业发展的相关情况。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:11月初,在山东东营一处农业产区,播种机在田间来回播种小麦。此处泛指“一处农业产区”,且agricultural以元音音素开头,应用不定冠词an。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:很难想象,早在2010年,这片光秃秃的白色盐碱地上寸草不生,只有长势稀疏的棉花,产量低得可怜。此处修饰形容词low,应用副词形式pitifully,表“可怜地”,符合语境。故填pitifully。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“这片地曾被认为毫无价值,老乡们每亩只以50元的价格租给我。” 当地农民李典全说,他家世代耕种这片土地。此空考查定语从句,先行词为farmer,关系词在从句中作定语修饰family,应用关系代词whose引导。故填whose。
【39题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在蜿蜒的黄河汇入大海的渤海之滨,东营的地貌由一段独特的地理变迁塑造而成。此空考查谓语动词,the winding Yellow River与empty为主动关系,句子描述客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语为单数,谓语动词用empties。故填empties。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着时间推移,海水逐渐退去,留下了盐分沉积物,形成了227.330公顷的盐碱地。形容词gradual后接名词,withdraw的名词形式是withdrawal,表“退回”,为不可数名词,符合语境。故填withdrawal。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:秋收时节,山东的大地宛如一幅五彩斑斓的调色板,但我们最不愿见到的颜色,便是盐碱地的白色。分析句子结构可知,前后句为转折关系,应用连词but。故填but。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:今年农民们开始种植一种新型小麦,这种小麦抗病虫害,而这正是多年科学研究所追求的目标。此处考查固定搭配resistance to,表示“对……的抵抗”,符合语境。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:今年农民们开始种植一种新型小麦,这种小麦抗病虫害,而这正是多年科学研究所追求的目标。分析句子结构可知,破折号后面相当于一个名词性结构,作前面整句话的补充说明表语,从句缺少宾语且指事物,应用连接代词what引导。故填what。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:盐碱地的利用对这项工作至关重要,对国家粮食安全具有重大战略意义。此空考查非谓语,主语Saline-alkaline land use与hold为主动关系,再由语境可知,应用现在分词holding作伴随状语。故填holding。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:山东正在探索一条以生态优先、技术支撑为特征的道路。此空考查非谓语,path与characterize为被动关系,再由语境可知,应用过去分词characterized作后置定语。故填characterized。
