阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
For travelers planning a culture-focused adventure, cities are the best place to start. Some cities function as living galleries in themselves through city-wide street art or award- winning architecture. Others offer artistic ways to explore history and culture, from immersive (沉浸式的) exhibitions to forward-thinking initiatives.
Budapest
Art takes to the streets in the Hungarian capital. Here, city walls act as a canvas for many homegrown and international artists to make their mark, whether through political messages, murals (壁画) or admiration for beloved figures and concepts. Though the art form has now spread well across the city, the Rubik’s cube and Refugee Girl in the Jewish Quarter remain representative works to get you started.
Milan
Milan’s fashion heritage dates back to its days as an important trading centre, when rich traders would bring luxurious fabrics to the city and develop and improve their business skills in its streets. It’s easy to plan a handcrafted tour taking in contemporary fashion houses, modern art galleries, historic churches and architecture as you go.
Copenhagen
Design is integrated into the outline of the Danish capital. Copenhagen’s architecture has been awarded many honours over the years, including UNESCO World Capital of Architecture2023. Danish symbol, Arne Jacobsen, was a pioneer of modernist architecture in the city. The spiral (螺旋形的) staircases, Egg and Swan chairs and representative Room 606 at the Radisson Collection Royal Hotel, Copenhagen, were designed by him.
Riyadh
Saudi Arabia’s largest city has actively positioned itself as a global destination for creative travellers and to this end, it has established the Riyadh Art initiative. The first public art project of its kind in the country, Riyadh Art, aims to transform the city into a gallery without walls through public art festivals and workshops.
Visit the capital of Saudi Arabian, Riyadh, in winter and you’ll see the city shine brightly under the lights of Noor Riyadh, the world’s largest light art festival.
1. What can visitors do during the tour to Budapest?
A. Appreciate colorful pictures on the city walls. B. Send political messages to beloved figures.
C. Create representative works across the city. D. Spread the art form in their hometown.
2. What do Copenhagen and Riyadh have in common?
A. They are capital cities. B. They both won awards.
C. They have galleries without walls. D. They are famous for ancient architecture.
3. Who are most likely to show interest in the article?
A. Traders who sell luxurious fabrics to the city. B. Historians who study contemporary history.
C. Librarians who are interested in literature. D. Tourists who prefer a trip focused on culture.
【答案】1. A 2. A 3. D

【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Design is integrated into the outline of the Danish capital.(设计融入了丹麦首都的轮廓)”和最后一段“Visit the capital of Saudi Arabian, Riyadh, in winter and you’ll see the city shine brightly under the lights of Noor Riyadh, the world’s largest light art festival.(冬天去沙特阿拉伯的首都利雅得,你会看到这座城市在世界上最大的灯光艺术节Noor Riyadh的灯光下闪闪发光)”可知,Copenhagen和Riyadh都是首都。故选A。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For travelers planning a culture-focused adventure, cities are the best place to start. Some cities function as living galleries in themselves through city-wide street art or award- winning architecture. Others offer artistic ways to explore history and culture, from immersive (沉浸式的) exhibitions to forward-thinking initiatives.(对于计划一次以文化为中心的冒险的旅行者来说,城市是最好的起点。一些城市通过城市范围内的街头艺术或获奖建筑,本身就是生活画廊。还有一些以艺术的方式探索历史和文化,从沉浸式的展览到前瞻性的倡议)”可知,最有可能对这篇文章感兴趣的人应该是计划专注文化冒险的游客。故选D。
B
At lunchtime recently, Sha Jinyuan, 22, sent a WeChat message to her meal partner, or fandazi, asking, “What to eat?” After her partner replied with “don’t know”, Sha said, “Let’s just go! ”
Are these two people friends? No, they are dazi, or activity partners for specific pursuits, such as playing games, taking classes, traveling, or hiking and camping. Dazi now refers to a new kind of social connection with the aim of pursuing shared interests, rather than developing lasting friendships.
Early last month, a study of 1,335 people conducted by China Youth Daily’s social survey center found that72.6% said they had one or more dazi. More than half of them said they go for meals with a dazi, while over 30% seek dazi for sports, travel, learning and playing games. More than 20% have dazi for shopping or walking their children.
The survey carried out last month found that young people seek dazi to share similar interests, to accompany them or share costs, expand their social circle, and to motivate, monitor and help one another. Some young people search for dazi because their lives are too fast-paced and their social circles too small.
Xu Kun, an expert at the 12355 hotline for youth psychological counseling (咨询) and legal aid in Dalian, said: “Young people enjoy doing things together. With less responsibility and pressure, the two people concerned get along more easily. “This is why young people these days are enthusiastic about fonning dazi circles,” Xu said.
“A dazi relationship not only meets young people’s social needs, but also reduces the basic costs in terms of time, energy and emotion required to keep a close relationship,” Xu added. In this new kind of relationship, less responsibility gives people more freedom, but may also cause some problems. After all, dazi circle is quite different from real friendship, as some experts pointed out.
4. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To state a fact. B. To show a conversation.
C. To raise a question. D. To introduce the topic.
5. How does the author show us that dazi circle is very popular in paragraph 3?
A. By telling stories. B. By showing data.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparison.
6. Why do young people seek dazi instead of lasting friendship nowadays?
A. Because they have no time to find real friends.
B. Because their social circles are too small for them.
C. Because dazi requires less responsibility and offers more freedom.
D. Because dazi can give them a hand whenever they need help.
7. What will the author talk about next?
A. How to turn dazi into real friends.
B. What problems dazi circles may bring about.
C. Whether this new relationship will last or not.
D. Why so many people prefer forming dazi circles.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了当下流行的“搭子”社交的各种形式和产生这种现象的原因。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“Dazi now refers to a new kind of social connection with the aim of pursuing shared interests, rather than developing lasting friendships.(“搭子”现在指的是一种新的社会关系,其目的是追求共同的兴趣,而不是发展持久的友谊)”和后文内容可知,第一段以一个对话为引子,引出文本的主要内容,即“搭子”社交。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Early last month, a study of 1,335 people conducted by China Youth Daily’s social survey center found that 72.6% said they had one or more dazi. More than half of them said they go for meals with a dazi, while over 30% seek dazi for sports, travel, learning and playing games. More than 20% have dazi for shopping or walking their children.(上个月初,《中国青年报》社会调查中心对1335人进行的一项调查发现,72.6%的人说他们有一个或多个“搭子”。超过一半的人说他们会和大子一起吃饭,而超过30%的人会为了运动、旅游、学习和玩游戏而找“搭子”。超过20%的人带着大子逛街或带孩子散步)”可知,作者采用列数据的方法说明了“搭子”社交目前非常流行。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“With less responsibility and pressure, the two people concerned get along more easily. This is why young people these days are enthusiastic about forming dazi circles,(责任和压力少了,两个人相处起来就容易多了。这就是为什么现在的年轻人热衷于组建“搭子”圈)”可知,人们倾向于找“搭子”的原因在于,和传统的朋友关系相比,“搭子”对于责任要求较少,因而压力也较小,相处起来比较轻松。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“In this new kind of relationship, less responsibility gives people more freedom, but may also cause some problems. (在这种新的关系中,责任的减少给了人们更多的自由,但也可能导致一些问题)”可知,接下来作者可能会谈到“搭子”社交带来的问题。故选B。
C
Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
8. Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1?
A. To illustrate the author’s point.
B. To give a scientific explanation.
C. To provide historical background.
D. To present a common partial view.
9. For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site?
A. Climate benefit and natural value.
B. Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C. Geographical uniqueness and rare species.
D. Educational significance and cultural value.
10. What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Addresses. B. Matches. C. Challenges. D. Outweighs.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. The formation of the Flow Country.
B. The recognition of the Lake District.
C. The long-overdue respect for peatlands.
D. The conservation difficulties of peatlands.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了泥炭地从过去被旅行者视为威胁的存在,到Flow Country成为首个入选世界遗产的泥炭地,其认知发生的转变;通过对比英国湖区的入选依据,阐述了Flow Country的入选不仅源于其自然价值与气候益处,更体现了人类对泥炭地乃至自然本身认知的深刻变化。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段开篇提到“Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (长期以来,旅行者们一直害怕被泥炭地吞没。)”,随后引用William Gilpin 1772 年的描述“If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of (要是他脚一滑……可能就再也没人听说过他了。)”旨在生动呈现历史上人们对泥炭地广泛存在的恐惧与负面印象 —— 这种视泥炭地为“威胁”的认知实属片面。第二段紧随其后以but进行转折,指出“now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner (如今该生态系统的形象终于迎来转变)”,形成强烈对比。因此,该处引用的主要目的在于呈现一种曾经普遍存在的片面观念。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. (联合国教科文组织已将福洛地区认定为世界遗产地 —— 这是首个入选该名录的泥炭地 —— 因其具备独特的自然特征:这里栖息着种类极为丰富的动植物。人们还认识到,这些泥炭地并非人类的敌人,而是应对气候危机的重要伙伴。福洛地区的泥炭已形成 8000 年之久,期间一直在固存碳。)”可知,Flow Country入选世界遗产的原因有两点:一是其显著的自然价值,二是其气候益处。故选A。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss ( 苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials. (与湖区不同,福洛地区优先关注的并非绵羊,而是苔藓。这种理念契合了日益兴起的“承认自然权利”运动:该运动主张将自然界重新定义为不仅仅是原材料的集合体。)” 可知,Flow Country优先关注苔藓,即自然本身的理念,与“承认自然权利、不将自然仅视为原材料集合”的运动方向是一致的。“aligns with” 在此处意为“符合、匹配”,与“matches”含义相近。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇以过去人们对泥炭地的恐惧引出话题,核心围绕Flow Country成为首个泥炭地世界遗产展开,通过对比湖区的文化导向入选依据,强调Flow Country的入选源于自然价值与气候意义,更体现了人类对泥炭地从“敌人”到“伙伴”的认知转变 —— 这意味着泥炭地终于获得了应有的重视。选项C“The long-overdue respect for peatlands (泥炭地迟来的尊重)”概括了文章核心。故选C。
D
As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
12. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
13. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
14. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为说明文。文章讲述了新技术呈现人类特质时人们试图使其去性别化,但性别是人们与物体建立联系的基本方式,且创造无性别物体很难,拟人化或能改变刻板印象。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,’ says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. (斯坦福大学组织行为学副教授阿什利·马丁说:“人们以非常传统的方式对有性别的物品形成刻板印象。”完全去除物品的性别似乎是解决这个问题的简单方法)”可知,人们对有性别的物品存在刻板印象,让新技术无性别化的目的是减少这种刻板印象。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self driving car known as ‘Miuu.’ (在她的研究中,马丁让参与者对数字语音助手和名为‘Miuu’的自动驾驶汽车的男性、女性和无性别版本的喜爱程度进行评分)”可知,参与者被要求对不同版本的产品进行评价,这类似于对调查做出回应。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a ‘he’ or ‘she.’ (马丁的研究还发现,创造无性别对象很困难。例如,如果一个物品的名字听起来是无性别化的,比如Miuu,参与者仍然会给它赋予一个性别——他们会认为Miuu是‘他’或‘她’)”可知,因为性别观念根深蒂固在人们的脑海中,所以即使物品本身试图设计成无性别,人们还是会赋予其性别,这导致创造无性别对象很困难。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) ‘provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.’ (然而,马丁看到了一线希望:她认为拟人化‘提供了改变刻板印象的机会’)”以及后文所举的例子可知,最后一段主要讲了赋予产品性别有积极的一面,即可以通过拟人化改变刻板印象。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了中国新疆维吾尔自治区铁路的发展历程和现状,以及铁路工人在保障铁路安全中所扮演的重要角色。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当火车如闪电般呼啸着穿过铁轨时,很少有人会停下来想一想那些默默守护着新疆维吾尔自治区9525.68公里铁路的守卫者,其中大部分铁路穿越了贫瘠的戈壁沙漠。分析句子结构可知,“(defend) Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region’s 9,525.68 kilometers of railway”作后置定语,defend(保护)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语“silent sentinels”之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:这些忠诚的铁路工人勇敢地面对沙尘暴和酷热,日夜不停地工作。这里应用副词作状语修饰动词face,bravely,意为“勇敢地”,符合语境。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他们迎风点灯,仔细检查铁轨的每一寸,以确保旅途安全顺畅。分析句子结构可知,“(ensure) safe and smooth journeys”是“They light lamps against the wind and inspect every inch of the rail carefully”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。
【39题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:曾经依赖绳索和体力的工作现在已经发展成机械化的维护力量——汗水和钢铁共同在荒野中构建了一条现代丝绸之路,其影响范围超越了地区界限。分析句子结构可知,“_____ once relied on ropes and muscle”是主语从句,从句缺少主语,指物,表示“……的事物”,用连接代词what引导该从句;句首单词首字母大写。
【40题详解】
考查with复合结构。句意:曾经依赖绳索和体力的工作现在已经发展成机械化的维护力量——汗水和钢铁共同在荒野中构建了一条现代丝绸之路,其影响范围超越了地区界限。“_____ its reach extending beyond regional boundaries”作伴随状语,结合现在分词“extending”,这里应用介词with构成with复合结构作状语。
【41题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:自中华人民共和国成立以来,新疆铁路在国家铁路发展战略的有力指导和针对性指导下取得了快速发展。progress(进步)是主句谓语动词,与主语“railways”之间是主动关系,结合时间状语“Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China”可知,描述从过去持续到现在的动作,谓语动词用现在完成时,主语是复数名词,所以应为have progressed。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:自中华人民共和国成立以来,新疆铁路在国家铁路发展战略的有力指导和针对性指导下取得了快速发展。此空应填名词作介词under的宾语,guidance,意为“指导”,不可数名词,符合语境。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:截至2024年底,该地区运营里程翻了一番,从2012年的4914.2公里增长到9525.68公里,增长了93.84%。increase是可数名词单数,表泛指,应用不定冠词限定,因数词“93.84”发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a修饰。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:新疆现已建成世界首条环塔里木盆地的沙漠铁路环线,以及北疆环准噶尔盆地铁路网,这两大交通动脉已成为促进民族更紧密团结、区域更快速发展、推动“一带一路”更广泛互联互通的重要生命线。“both of _____ have become vital lifelines”为定语从句,修饰先行词“the world’s first desert railway loop (环线) around the Tarim Basin and a northern loop encircling the Junggar Basin”,指物,关系词将其代入非限制性定语从句中作介词of的宾语,用关系代词which引导该从句。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:新疆现已建成世界首条环塔里木盆地沙漠铁路环线,以及北疆环准噶尔盆地铁路网,这两大交通动脉已成为促进民族更紧密团结、区域更快速发展、推动“一带一路”更广泛互联互通的重要生命线。这里形容词strong作定语,结合其后并列部分“faster regional development”和“broader connectivity”可知,表示“促进民族更紧密团结”,用形容词比较级stronger作定语。

For travelers planning a culture-focused adventure, cities are the best place to start. Some cities function as living galleries in themselves through city-wide street art or award- winning architecture. Others offer artistic ways to explore history and culture, from immersive (沉浸式的) exhibitions to forward-thinking initiatives.
Budapest
Art takes to the streets in the Hungarian capital. Here, city walls act as a canvas for many homegrown and international artists to make their mark, whether through political messages, murals (壁画) or admiration for beloved figures and concepts. Though the art form has now spread well across the city, the Rubik’s cube and Refugee Girl in the Jewish Quarter remain representative works to get you started.
Milan
Milan’s fashion heritage dates back to its days as an important trading centre, when rich traders would bring luxurious fabrics to the city and develop and improve their business skills in its streets. It’s easy to plan a handcrafted tour taking in contemporary fashion houses, modern art galleries, historic churches and architecture as you go.
Copenhagen
Design is integrated into the outline of the Danish capital. Copenhagen’s architecture has been awarded many honours over the years, including UNESCO World Capital of Architecture2023. Danish symbol, Arne Jacobsen, was a pioneer of modernist architecture in the city. The spiral (螺旋形的) staircases, Egg and Swan chairs and representative Room 606 at the Radisson Collection Royal Hotel, Copenhagen, were designed by him.
Riyadh
Saudi Arabia’s largest city has actively positioned itself as a global destination for creative travellers and to this end, it has established the Riyadh Art initiative. The first public art project of its kind in the country, Riyadh Art, aims to transform the city into a gallery without walls through public art festivals and workshops.
Visit the capital of Saudi Arabian, Riyadh, in winter and you’ll see the city shine brightly under the lights of Noor Riyadh, the world’s largest light art festival.

At lunchtime recently, Sha Jinyuan, 22, sent a WeChat message to her meal partner, or fandazi, asking, “What to eat?” After her partner replied with “don’t know”, Sha said, “Let’s just go! ”
Are these two people friends? No, they are dazi, or activity partners for specific pursuits, such as playing games, taking classes, traveling, or hiking and camping. Dazi now refers to a new kind of social connection with the aim of pursuing shared interests, rather than developing lasting friendships.
Early last month, a study of 1,335 people conducted by China Youth Daily’s social survey center found that72.6% said they had one or more dazi. More than half of them said they go for meals with a dazi, while over 30% seek dazi for sports, travel, learning and playing games. More than 20% have dazi for shopping or walking their children.
The survey carried out last month found that young people seek dazi to share similar interests, to accompany them or share costs, expand their social circle, and to motivate, monitor and help one another. Some young people search for dazi because their lives are too fast-paced and their social circles too small.
Xu Kun, an expert at the 12355 hotline for youth psychological counseling (咨询) and legal aid in Dalian, said: “Young people enjoy doing things together. With less responsibility and pressure, the two people concerned get along more easily. “This is why young people these days are enthusiastic about fonning dazi circles,” Xu said.
“A dazi relationship not only meets young people’s social needs, but also reduces the basic costs in terms of time, energy and emotion required to keep a close relationship,” Xu added. In this new kind of relationship, less responsibility gives people more freedom, but may also cause some problems. After all, dazi circle is quite different from real friendship, as some experts pointed out.
4. What is the purpose of Paragraph 1?
A. To state a fact. B. To show a conversation.
C. To raise a question. D. To introduce the topic.
5. How does the author show us that dazi circle is very popular in paragraph 3?
A. By telling stories. B. By showing data.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparison.
6. Why do young people seek dazi instead of lasting friendship nowadays?
A. Because they have no time to find real friends.
B. Because their social circles are too small for them.
C. Because dazi requires less responsibility and offers more freedom.
D. Because dazi can give them a hand whenever they need help.
7. What will the author talk about next?
A. How to turn dazi into real friends.
B. What problems dazi circles may bring about.
C. Whether this new relationship will last or not.
D. Why so many people prefer forming dazi circles.
C
Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District? Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.

As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there’s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behavior. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics.
In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu.” It was found that gender increased users’ feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices.
While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender.
Martin’s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object’s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it — they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she.”
Martin sees a silver lining, however: She believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes.” When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles — a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance.
12. What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless?
A. To reduce stereotypes. B. To meet public demand.
C. To cut production costs. D. To encourage competition.
13. What were the participants probably asked to do in the study?
A. Design a product. B. Respond to a survey.
C. Work as assistants. D. Take a language test.
14. Why is it difficult to create genderless objects?
A. They cannot be mass-produced. B. Naming them is a challenging task.
C. People assume they are unreliable. D. Gender is rooted in people’s mind.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The quality of genderless products. B. The upside of gendering a product.
C. The meaning of anthropomorphism. D. The stereotypes of men and women.
