There are some palaces in Europe that you may be interested to know about.
Royal Palace of Madrid, Spain
It takes the title of the largest European palace by floor area and it is the largest functioning palace in Europe. The Royal Palace of Madrid was built in the 18th century by order of Philip V on the site of the old Alcázar fortress, a former Moorish castle. With about 135, 000 square metres and 3, 418 rooms, it has seeded centuries of Spanish history. It is one of the few official seats of a head of state that is open to the public.
Royal Palace of Brussels, Belgium
It is a historic and the most wonderful building in Brussels, Belgium, next to the Brussels Park. The Royal Palace of Brussels is the King’s main workplace, where he works daily with his staff. A tradition has been established since 1965 to open the Royal Palace of Brussels to the public from the National Holiday of July 21 until September.

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
19. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
20. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
21. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
22. What is the text mainly about?
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
C
By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend — that is, act like something is real while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies,” Bastos said.
23. What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test?
A. To read a playbook. B. To choose a certain cup.
C. To pour imaginary juice. D. To identify graphic symbols.
24. Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi?
A. To prove Kanzi has emotions.
B. To explore Kanzi’s preference for juice.
C. To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake.
D. To train Kanzi’s ability to make choices.
25. What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with?
A. Imagination equals pretense.
B. Kanzi represents ape intelligence.
C. Kanzi may not have an imagination.
D. This experiment benefits future studies.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kanzi: A Good Ape Pretender.
B. The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved.
C. The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed.
D. A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested.
D
Studies with financial ties to the sugar-sweetened beverage (drinks) industry are much less likely than independent studies to find a link between sipping sugary drinks and developing obesity or diabetes, according to an Annals of Internal Medicine Report published Monday.
Researchers reviewed 60 studies published between January 2001 and July 2016 that investigated consuming drinks with added sugar and these diseases. They also identified whether the reports were independently funded, or if they were backed by—or the authors had financial conflicts with—the sugar-sweetened beverage industry.
Every one of the 26 studies that found no connection between sugary drinks and diabetes or obesity were industry-funded. But of the 34 studies that did find a connection between sugar and illness, only one had ties to sugar-sweetened beverages.
“This industry seems to be manipulating contemporary scientific processes to create controversy and advance their business interests at the expense of the public’s health,” concluded the report.
The latest report comes a month after a JAMA Internal Medicine investigation found that the Sugar Research Foundation paid three Harvard scientists about $50,000 in the 1960s to publish research that blamed fat and cholesterol(胆固醇) for causing heart disease, and downplayed the role of sweeteners.
Dr. Mark Hyman, director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine has long been skeptical about the sweet stuff.
“The sugar industry and soda companies are following the same playbook as the tobacco industry did trying to defend tobacco,” he told the News. “They destroy the science by financing scientists who are actually pushing their agenda and designing flawed trials that show there’s no harm. They sway public opinion, and they lobby politicians.”
He advised consumers confused about what research to believe to “follow the money.” “If a bunch of Harvard scientists say one thing, and Coca-Cola says another thing, you should wonder about who the messenger is, and where the money to fund the study is coming from,” he said.
27. What does the Annals of Internal Medicine Report mainly focus on?
A. The sugar industry’s influence on scientific studies.
B. The connection between sugary drinks and illnesses.
C. The real reason to blame for causing heart disease.
D. The financial support for science from the sugar industry.
28. Which is a factor the researchers took into consideration when reviewing the studies published?
A. Their total number. B. Their value to science.
C. Their financial source. D. Their social influence.
29. Why did the Sugar Research Foundation pay three Harvard scientists about $50,000 in the 1960s?
A. To support the development of science.
B. To compare with the tobacco industry.
C. To influence certain scientific results.
D. To promote the public’s health conditions.
30. How to understand Dr. Mark Hyman’s “follow the money” principle?
A. People who pay for products should know where their money go.
B. Consumers have to pay for the real results of scientific researches.
C. More money should be paid to promote the public’s awareness of science.
D. The money to fund the study determines its reliability to some extent.

A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion. Shopkeepers know how to create an environment that makes customers buy more than they planned. For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food.
____31____
Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. ____32____ If a certain item seems popular, customers naturally believe it is worth buying.
With the help of modern technology, some supermarkets now provide real-time purchasing information.As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product. ____33____ This model, known as a “swarm move”, increases sales without offering discounts simply because it makes customers feel confident about choosing what everyone else buys.
____34____ When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices.
All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making. ____35____
A. The idea behind this approach is simple.
B. Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket.
C. The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online.
D. This method reassures shoppers that they are making the“right” choice.
E. People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping.
F. As a result, these items sell more quickly than cheaper, less visible products.
G. That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd.

第二部分 英语知识运用
单项选择(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
请从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1. I sincerely requested that I ______ of the latest situation.
A. informed B. was informed C. be informed D. inform
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意:我真诚地请求告知我最新的情况。requested等表示建议、命令、要求的词后接宾语从句,从句中常用should + do的形式,且should可以省略;结合句意,主语I和动词inform为动宾关系,故需要用被动语态be done的形式,故空处应填(should) be informed。故选C项。
2. Unfortunately, she found the key ______ in the lock and couldn’t pull it out.
A. stuck B. sticking C. struck D. striking
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:不幸的是,她发现钥匙卡在锁里,拔不出来。“find + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”结构中,the key与stick(卡住)之间是被动关系,即钥匙被卡住,所以用过去分词stuck作宾语补足语。故选A项。
3. In 1963 the UN set up the World Food Program, ______ purpose is to relieve worldwide hunger.
A. whose B. which C. that D. its
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:1963年,联合国成立了世界粮食计划署,其目的是减缓解全世界的饥饿状况。句中先行词为 the World Food Program,在非限定性定语从句中作名词purpose的定语,所以用关系代词whose引导。故选A。
4. It is the third time that he ______ the school record in the high jump.
A. broke B. breaks C. has broken D. had broken
【答案】C

As Ginni Bazlinton reached Antarctica, she found herself greeted by a group of little Gentoo penguins (企鹅) longing to say hello. These gentle, lovely gatekeepers welcomed her and kick-started what was to be a trip Ginni would never forget.
Ever since her childhood, Ginni, now 71, has had a deep love for travel. Throughout her career (职业) as a professional dancer, she toured in the UK, but always longed to explore further. When she retired from dancing and her sons eventually flew the nest, she decided it was time to take the plunge.
After taking a degree at Chichester University in Related Arts, Ginni began to travel the world, eventually getting work teaching English in Japan and Chile. And it was in Chile she discovered she could get last-minute cheap deals on ships going to Antarctica from the islands off Tierra del Fuego, the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. “I just decided I wanted to go,” she says. “I had no idea about what I’d find there and I wasn’t nervous, I just wanted to do it. And I wanted to do it alone as I always prefer it that way.”
In March 2008, Ginni boarded a ship with 48 passengers she’d never met before, to begin the journey towards Antarctica. “From seeing the wildlife to witnessing sunrises, the whole experience was amazing. Antarctica left an impression on me that no other place has,” Ginni says. “I remember the first time I saw a humpback whale; it just rose out of the water like some prehistoric creature and I thought it was smiling at us. You could still hear the operatic sounds it was making underwater.”
The realization that this is a precious land, to be respected by humans, was one of the biggest things that hit home to Ginni.
19. Which of the following best explains “take the plunge” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Try challenging things. B. Take a degree.
C. Bring back lost memories. D. Stick to a promise.
20. What made Ginni decide on the trip to Antarctica?
A. Lovely penguins. B. Beautiful scenery.
C. A discount fare. D. A friend’s invitation.
21. What does Ginni think about Antarctica after the journey?
A. It could be a home for her. B. It should be easily accessible.
C. It should be well preserved. D. It needs to be fully introduced.
22. What is the text mainly about?
A. A childhood dream. B. An unforgettable experience.
C. Sailing around the world. D. Meeting animals in Antarctica.
【答案】19. A 20. C 21. C 22. B

By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.
Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star at communicating with humans using graphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend — that is, act like something is real while knowing it’s not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.
To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice. “Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the difference between real juice and imaginary juice,” said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.
Many great ape species in the wild are critically endangered, and it’ll take more research to understand what their minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies,” Bastos said.
23. What was Kanzi asked to do in the first test?
A. To read a playbook. B. To choose a certain cup.
C. To pour imaginary juice. D. To identify graphic symbols.
24. Why did scientists experiment with real juice on Kanzi?
A. To prove Kanzi has emotions.
B. To explore Kanzi’s preference for juice.
C. To confirm Kanzi can tell real from fake.
D. To train Kanzi’s ability to make choices.
25. What does Michael Tomasello probably agree with?
A. Imagination equals pretense.
B. Kanzi represents ape intelligence.
C. Kanzi may not have an imagination.
D. This experiment benefits future studies.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kanzi: A Good Ape Pretender.
B. The Mystery of Ape Imagination Solved.
C. The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed.
D. A Pretend Juice Party: Ape Imagination Tested.
【答案】23. B 24. C 25. C 26. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家以假想果汁派对测试猿Kanzi,发现它或能区分真假果汁、具备假装能力,但部分科学家对此存疑,该研究也为后续猿类心智研究开辟了方向。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party for Kanzi. They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of the time.( 他们往两个杯子里倒入想象中的果汁,然后假装只喝掉了其中一个。他们让Kanzi选择他想要的杯子,而他有 68% 的时候都会指向那个还装有假果汁的杯子。)”可知,在第一次测试中,Kanzi被要求选择一个特定的杯子。故选B项。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To make sure Kanzi wasn’t confusing real with fake (假的), they also ran a test with actual juice.( 为了确保Kanzi不会将真实的果汁与假的果汁混淆,他们还进行了一项使用真实果汁的测试。)”可知,科学家用真实果汁做实验,是为了确认Kanzi能够区分真实与假想的果汁,排除它混淆真假的可能。故选C项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. “There’s a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretense that it’s real,” said Duke University comparative psychologist Michael Tomasello. “To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanzi actually pretend to pour water into a container himself,” Tomasello wrote in an email.( 但并非所有科学家都相信Kanzi像人类一样在进行假装行为。杜克大学的比较心理学家迈克尔·托马塞洛说:“想象把果汁倒入杯子与维持果汁是真实的这一假象之间是有区别的。要确信这一点,我需要看到Kanzi自己真的假装把水倒入容器里。”托马塞洛在一封电子邮件中写道。)”可知,该科学家并不认可Kanzi具备人类式的假装与想象力,认为现有实验不足以证明,因此他认同“Kanzi 或许没有想象力”。故选C项。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believe tea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for the first time, an experiment hints that an ape (猿) living under human care can have an imagination.( 在两岁的时候,大多数孩子就已经会玩角色扮演游戏了。他们会把自己的卧室布置成遥远的城堡,并举办假想的茶会。能够凭空创造出事物这一能力似乎是人类所独有的。而现在,一项实验首次表明,一只生活在人类照料下的猿类也能拥有想象力。)”可知,全文核心是通过假想果汁派对来测试人工饲养的猿Kanzi是否拥有想象力,并呈现了科学界的不同观点,由此可知,这篇文章的最佳标题是“一场假扮的果汁派对:猿类想象力的测试”。故选D项。
D
Studies with financial ties to the sugar-sweetened beverage (drinks) industry are much less likely than independent studies to find a link between sipping sugary drinks and developing obesity or diabetes, according to an Annals of Internal Medicine Report published Monday.
Researchers reviewed 60 studies published between January 2001 and July 2016 that investigated consuming drinks with added sugar and these diseases. They also identified whether the reports were independently funded, or if they were backed by—or the authors had financial conflicts with—the sugar-sweetened beverage industry.
Every one of the 26 studies that found no connection between sugary drinks and diabetes or obesity were industry-funded. But of the 34 studies that did find a connection between sugar and illness, only one had ties to sugar-sweetened beverages.
“This industry seems to be manipulating contemporary scientific processes to create controversy and advance their business interests at the expense of the public’s health,” concluded the report.
The latest report comes a month after a JAMA Internal Medicine investigation found that the Sugar Research Foundation paid three Harvard scientists about $50,000 in the 1960s to publish research that blamed fat and cholesterol(胆固醇) for causing heart disease, and downplayed the role of sweeteners.
Dr. Mark Hyman, director of the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine has long been skeptical about the sweet stuff.
“The sugar industry and soda companies are following the same playbook as the tobacco industry did trying to defend tobacco,” he told the News. “They destroy the science by financing scientists who are actually pushing their agenda and designing flawed trials that show there’s no harm. They sway public opinion, and they lobby politicians.”
He advised consumers confused about what research to believe to “follow the money.” “If a bunch of Harvard scientists say one thing, and Coca-Cola says another thing, you should wonder about who the messenger is, and where the money to fund the study is coming from,” he said.
27. What does the Annals of Internal Medicine Report mainly focus on?
A. The sugar industry’s influence on scientific studies.
B. The connection between sugary drinks and illnesses.
C. The real reason to blame for causing heart disease.
D. The financial support for science from the sugar industry.
28. Which is a factor the researchers took into consideration when reviewing the studies published?
A. Their total number. B. Their value to science.
C. Their financial source. D. Their social influence.
29. Why did the Sugar Research Foundation pay three Harvard scientists about $50,000 in the 1960s?
A. To support the development of science.
B. To compare with the tobacco industry.
C. To influence certain scientific results.
D. To promote the public’s health conditions.
30. How to understand Dr. Mark Hyman’s “follow the money” principle?
A. People who pay for products should know where their money go.
B. Consumers have to pay for the real results of scientific researches.
C. More money should be paid to promote the public’s awareness of science.
D. The money to fund the study determines its reliability to some extent.
【答案】27. A 28. C 29. C 30. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了研究报告的资金来源是如何影响报告结果的。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Studies with financial ties to the sugar-sweetened beverage (drinks) industry are much less likely than independent studies to find a link between sipping sugary drinks and developing obesity or diabetes, according to an Annals of Internal Medicine Report published Monday.(周一发表的《内科医学年报》报告称,与独立研究相比,与含糖饮料行业有经济关系的研究发现喝含糖饮料与肥胖或糖尿病之间存在联系的可能性要小得多。)”可知,独立研究更容易报道喝含糖饮料与肥胖或糖尿病之间存在关系,故《内科医学年报》主要关注了制糖业对科学研究结果的影响。故选A项。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They also identified whether the reports were independently funded, or if they were backed by—or the authors had financial conflicts with—the sugar-sweetened beverage industry.(他们还确定了这些报告是否得到了独立资助,或者是否得到了含糖饮料行业的支持,或者作者是否与该行业存在经济冲突。)”可知,研究人员在回顾研究时考虑了资金来源。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The latest report comes a month after a JAMA Internal Medicine investigation found that the Sugar Research Foundation paid three Harvard scientists about $50,000 in the 1960s to publish research that blamed fat and cholesterol(胆固醇) for causing heart disease, and downplayed the role of sweeteners.(一个月前,《美国医学会内科杂志》的一项调查发现,糖研究基金会在20世纪60年代向三位哈佛科学家支付了约5万美元,让他们发表研究报告,指责脂肪和胆固醇导致心脏病,并淡化甜味剂的作用。)”可知,糖研究基金会向哈佛科学家付款五万美金是为了影响科学结果。故选C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““If a bunch of Harvard scientists say one thing, and Coca-Cola says another thing, you should wonder about who the messenger is, and where the money to fund the study is coming from, he said.(他建议那些对研究结果感到困惑的消费者“跟着钱走”。他说:“如果一群哈佛科学家说一件事,可口可乐说另一件事,你应该想知道信使是谁,资助这项研究的资金从哪里来。”)”可知,马克博士认为,研究的资金来源会影响这项研究的结果,即资助这项研究的资金在某种程度上决定了它的可靠性。故选D项。

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A trip to the supermarket has now become more than a simple shopping experience. In fact, it is now carefully designed psychological persuasion. Shopkeepers know how to create an environment that makes customers buy more than they planned. For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food.
____31____
Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. ____32____ If a certain item seems popular, customers naturally believe it is worth buying.
With the help of modern technology, some supermarkets now provide real-time purchasing information.As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product. ____33____ This model, known as a “swarm move”, increases sales without offering discounts simply because it makes customers feel confident about choosing what everyone else buys.
____34____ When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags. Even being alone, they think they are shopping independently, and they are still influenced by others’ choices.
All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making. ____35____
A. The idea behind this approach is simple.
B. Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket.
C. The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online.
D. This method reassures shoppers that they are making the“right” choice.
E. People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping.
F. As a result, these items sell more quickly than cheaper, less visible products.
G. That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd.
【答案】31. B 32. G 33. D 34. C 35. E
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出超市购物已成为心理操纵。通过香味、群体影响和科技手段(如显示购买人数),超市诱导顾客消费。这种策略在线上平台也普遍存在,表明消费者常受隐性心理暗示影响而非理性决策。
【31题详解】
上文提到“For example, the smell of freshly baked bread can make customers feel hungry and unconsciously increase their desire to buy food.(例如,新鲜出炉的面包的香味会让顾客感到饥饿,并下意识地增加他们购买食物的欲望。)”,这说明了面包香味对顾客购买行为的影响。B选项“Thus, it encourages them to put more food into their basket.(因此,这鼓励他们把更多的食物放进购物篮。)”承接上文,进一步说明了面包香味如何具体影响顾客的购买行为,即让他们购买更多的食物,符合题意。故选B。
【32题详解】
上文提到“Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence.(现在研究人员正在研究人们购买决策中受影响的方式如何用群体智能来解释。)”,这引出了群体智能这一概念。G选项“That is, how bees or any social animal, including humans, behaves in a crowd.(也就是说,蜜蜂或任何社会性动物,包括人类,在群体中的行为方式。)”对群体智能进行了具体解释,即像蜜蜂或人类这样的社会性动物在群体中的行为方式,符合题意。故选G。
【33题详解】
上文提到“As customers walk past shelves, a small screen may tell them how many other shoppers have chosen a certain product.(当顾客走过货架时,一个小屏幕可能会告诉他们有多少其他顾客选择了某种产品。)”,这说明了超市通过提供实时购买信息来影响顾客的购买决策。D选项“This method reassures shoppers that they are making the‘right’ choice.(这种方法让顾客确信他们正在做出“正确”的选择。)”承接上文,进一步说明了这种实时购买信息如何影响顾客的心理,即让他们觉得自己做出了正确的选择,从而增加购买的可能性,符合题意。故选D。
【34题详解】
下文提到“When they are at home, shoppers still tend to follow the crowd online. Websites like Amazon show rankings, recommendations, and“most purchased” tags.(当顾客在家时,他们仍然倾向于在网上跟随大众。像亚马逊这样的网站会显示排名、推荐和“最常购买”标签。)”,这说明了在线购物平台也运用了类似的心理学策略来影响顾客的购买决策。C选项“The same psychological strategies also apply to platforms online.(同样的心理学策略也适用于在线平台。)”引出了下文,说明在线购物平台和实体超市在影响顾客购买决策方面采用了相似的策略,符合题意。故选C。
【35题详解】
上文提到“All these strategies show that modern consumers are often guided by subtle psychological cues rather than rational decision-making.(所有这些策略都表明,现代消费者往往受到微妙心理暗示的引导,而不是理性决策。)”,这总结了前文关于超市和在线购物平台如何运用心理学策略影响顾客购买决策的内容。E选项“People may not notice, but they are constantly being guided while shopping.(人们可能没有注意到,但他们在购物时不断受到引导。)”承接上文,进一步强调了顾客在购物过程中往往受到各种心理暗示的引导,而自己可能并未察觉,符合题意。故选E。

Caring for Wildlife

【答案】
Caring for Wildlife
Last Sunday, our school’s Environmental Protection Club organized a theme activity called “Caring for Wildlife” in the city botanical garden.
Upon arrival, we were divided into groups. Some put up bird feeders and nesting boxes in the trees, while others observed local wildlife through binoculars and recording their findings in notebooks. Later, a biology teacher also gave us an on-site lecture about the importance of biodiversity, after which we placed hand-painted warning signs near the lake to remind visitors not to feed wild birds. The highlight was a creative session where we drew chalk art on pathways to raise public awareness.
The activity received widespread praise from both teachers and students. It offered us a precious opportunity to get close to nature and made us realize that protecting wildlife is not just a slogan, but an action that requires our continuous effort.
