As the snow begins to melt away into a distant memory, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings.
Puebla
This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario.
Machu Picchu
Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Yellowstone National Park
As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs.
Arches National Park
You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.
21. What is the advantage of travelling in spring?
A. There are fewer crowds.
B. Tourists will feel more secure.
C. More tourist sites are available.
D. It's fun to enjoy the last days of snow.
22. Which destination is suitable for animal lovers?
A. Puebla. B. Machu Picchu.
C. Yellowstone National Park. D. Arches National Park.
23. What are visitors expected to do when visiting Arches National Park in April?
A. Trade tickets for blooms. B. Wear thick clothes.
C. Secure an entry reservation. D. Cycle in cold weather.
B
Long before I had studied a second language, I had an absolute romance with my first language — English. When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood. If something that qualifies has qualification, I thought something that terrifies ought to have terrification. This way of thinking opened up a whole world of creativity to me that had never existed before.
However, when I started studying other languages, I lost this fascination. The more I’ve interacted with other masters of many languages, the more this seems like an almost universally shared experience: as one falls in love with other languages and digs into other forms of communication, one starts to lose an appreciation of his or her native tongue. This is perfectly natural. As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison.
But then something happened that completely refueled the love I had for my mother tongue: I encountered that same creative passion I once felt in somebody else’s work. One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid.
Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language.
24. What could the author do at a young age?
A. Guess new words’ meanings. B. Make up non-existent words.
C. Make use of grammatical rules. D. Create new sentence structures.
25. Why did the author lose the love for English?
A. Its popularity was in decline. B. Its inflexibility was apparent.
C. It failed to offer fresh excitement. D. It gave him fewer growth chances.
26. What does the underlined word “allured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sensed. B. Drawn. C. Persuaded. D. Supported.
27. What finally made the author appreciate English?
A. Poems’ complex emotions. B. Special writing techniques.
C. Lewis Carroll’s creativity. D. Intense love for literature.
C
Imagine a future where the most powerful computers aren’t made of silicon chips, but are grown from living cells. This is the ambitious goal of synthetic (合成) biology, and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step. They have successfully engineered common baker’s yeast (酵母) cells to perform basic computational operations, effectively turning them into tiny, self-reproducing biological computers.
Traditional computers process information using a binary (二进制) code of 0s and 1s, represented by electrical currents. The MIT team’s system, however, works differently. They redesigned the yeast’s genetic circuits so that specific combinations of chemicals act as “input” signals. When the yeast cell detects these chemical clues, it triggers a chain of internal gene expression, ultimately leading to a visible “output” — for example, the cell giving off a green light under a microscope to signal a “YES” answer, or remaining dull for a “NO”.
This achievement, published in Science, is revolutionary for several reasons. First, these biological computers are incredibly energy-efficient, running on the same sugar nutrients the yeast uses to grow. Second, they are self-assembling and self-repairing, properties no silicon-based machine possesses. Most importantly, they can operate in complex, liquid environments inside the body or in ecosystems, where traditional electronics fail.
The immediate application lies in smart diagnostics (诊断). Imagine taking in a capsule containing these engineered yeast cells. They could travel through your body, detect specific disease markers, and produce a clear visual signal in your waste, offering a cheap and safe diagnostic tool. In the longer term, such “wetware” computers could monitor environmental pollution or even direct the behavior of future living machines.
Of course, significant challenges remain. The “calculation” speed of cells is currently far slower than that of electronic computers, and designing reliable, complex genetic circuits is immensely difficult. Yet, this research lights the path to a future where computation is smoothly woven into the fabric of life itself.
28. How does the biological computer indicate its output?
A. By giving off an observable signal. B. By detecting specific chemical clues.
C. By activating gene expression chains. D. By using a combination of chemicals.
29. What powers the biological computer?
A. Sugar nutrients that support yeast growth.
B. A capsule containing engineered yeast cells.
C. The process of assembling and repairing itself.
D. Electrical energy generated by genetic circuits.
30. What might challenge the development of biological computers?
A. Finding a more energetic organism. B. Overcoming major ethical concerns.
C. Improving genetic engineering design. D. Developing faster electronic computers.
31. Which of the following is the best title for this article?
A. A Brighter Future: How Yeast Will Diagnose Disease
B. Encode Information: The Making of a Bio-Supercomputer
C. The End of Silicon: Why living Computers Are Taking Over
D. Compute Differently: Engineering Cells to Process Information
D
Contextualism (语境主义) has a long history in historiography (历史编纂学), dating back to the work of historians such as Leopold von Ranke in the 19th century. His emphasis on understanding historical events as they actually were laid the groundwork for the development of contextualist approaches to historical interpretation. In the 20th century, historians such as Quentin Skinner and J. G. A. Pocock further developed contextualist approaches, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical texts and events within their specific linguistic and cultural contexts.
A contextualist approach to historical interpretation requires a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and time context in which historical events occurred. This involves considering factors such as the cultural standards and values of the time, the social structures and institutions that shaped historical events, and the time context, including the specific historical period and any relevant events or trends.
One of the key challenges of historical interpretation is avoiding anachronism (时代错位) and presentism. Anachronism involves putting modern concepts, values, or beliefs onto historical figures or events, while presentism involves judging historical events by modern standards. A contextualist approach helps historians avoid these errors by emphasizing the importance of understanding historical events within their specific context. For example, it would be anachronistic to put modern ideas of human rights onto historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves yet became the leading author of the United States Declaration of Independence. Instead, historians must consider Jefferson’s actions within the context of his time, taking into account the popular attitudes towards slavery and human rights.
While contextualism is a powerful approach to historical interpretation, it is not without its challenges and limitations. Some of the key challenges include: the complexity of reconstructing historical context, which can be incomplete; the risk of cultural and historical relativism, which can make it difficult to evaluate certain historical events critically; the challenge of balancing contextual understanding with the need to draw broader conclusions and lessons from historical events.
32. What did Skinner and Pocock contribute to contextualism?
A. They clarified its definition. B. They demonstrated its logic.
C. They expanded its applications. D. They emphasized its objectives.
33. Which factor may belong to the social context?
A. Strict laws and regulations. B. Unusual customs and fashions.
C. Social values and judgments. D. Linguistic symbols and habits.
34. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Jefferson ignored human rights. B. Causes behind actions were key.
C. Presentism mislabels past events. D. Subjectivity was difficult to resist.
35. Why is contextualism an imperfect approach?
A. It may reach a narrow conclusion. B. It infers from second-hand records
C. It digs into some pointless elements. D. It may find excuses for subjectivity.

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 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.
____36____
Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. ____37____ 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. ____38____ 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.
____39____ 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. ____40____
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.

Being an ambivert (中向性格者), I live in a constant push-and-pull between social enjoyment and the need for solitude (独处). Starting conversations feels like solving a puzzle with missing pieces. My mind becomes a crowded stage where doubts ____41____: “Am I talking too much? Or too little?” This inner noise often left me trapped on the shores of small talk, ____42____ admiring those who socialize with ease.
Then, I set a simple yet brave goal: to offer one ____43____ praise to a stranger each day. Praising someone is a great icebreaker when you don’t know what else to say, which ____44____ lifts my spirits. If I noticed someone wearing something great, I’d say it was cute and ask for details. Whether to a cashier or a passer-by, I practiced turning silent ____45____ into spoken warmth. To my surprise, these little words acted as keys — ____46____ not just smiles, but moments of true ____47____. I realized I had been ____48____ alone behind walls I built myself.
Over time, this practice ____49____ into something deeper. Like sunlight ____50____ through clouds, a kind word can ____51____ a whole day — both for the giver and the receiver. I remembered messages from readers across the world, years after my book was published, telling me how my words ____52____ them.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Daniel had always been the top student in his class. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies and consistently achieved the highest grades. Because of this, he viewed school merely as a place of competition. He spent all his time alone — either buried in books in the library or studying quietly at home. He never joined any clubs or sports teams; to Daniel, his classmates were not friends, but rivals he needed to outperform.
Everything changed when his math teacher, Mr. Wilson, launched a new class project called “Learning Together”. Each student was required to work with a partner for a month before the final presentation. Daniel was paired with Alex, a friendly boy who was loved by everyone. He played on the school basketball team and always wore a warm smile. However, Alex struggled greatly with math and often failed his tests.
Their first meeting was awkward and tense. Daniel was eager to finish the project quickly, so he explained the math problems in a hurried, confusing manner. Alex looked completely lost but refused to give up, asking questions like, “Why does this formula work?” or “Can we use a simpler example?” Daniel felt annoyed at first, thinking the answers were obvious and Alex was wasting his time.
One afternoon, after another frustrating study session, Alex stayed behind. He opened his notebook and showed it to Daniel — its pages were filled with colorful drawings alongside the math problems. Alex had drawn basketball courts to illustrate angles and pizza slices to explain fractions. “This is how I see the world, “Alex said softly.” I just can’t seem to connect these pictures to the numbers on the page.”
Daniel stared at the drawings, a strange feeling welling up inside him. He realized Alex was neither lazy nor stupid — he was trying his hardest, just in his own unique way. Daniel had never thought about math like this before; to him, it was nothing but rigid rules and correct answers, but to Alex, it was a part of everyday life. That evening, Daniel went home and thought long and hard. Maybe, he reflected, he could learn something valuable from Alex too.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The day before the presentation, Alex called Daniel, his voice full of worry.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When standing in front of the class, Daniel did something no one expected.

IT makes me proud, but I really bothered me to stay fit, and keeping the superhero face on is quite tiring too. Yet those chAllenges don't even come close to the difficulty of chasing and fighting. You have to make concerted efforts to act as if it's effortless. I heard you grew up in canada. How was that? I have many family members there. I went to an international school, but the best thing was the fantastic countryside near my home. I spent most weekends camping in the forest, which was really great. So how did you get into acting? Well, at university I studied literature but never acted in any drama. After graduating, I worked as an assistant for a producer working on a musical comedy. One night, an actor was ill, and I was asked to play his part, and I just went from there. What would you have done if you hadn't become an actor? Well, both my parents devote themselves to educational careers. Even so, IT hardly interested me. My older brother owns a company, and he said that I could have a job in his office.

A
As the snow begins to melt away into a distant memory, be sure to head outdoors this spring. Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists. Several destinations around the globe are especially notable for their breathtaking spring offerings.
Puebla
This city in central Mexico attracts visitors with its UNESCO-recognized historic structures. Spring marks the final few months of Puebla's dry season and temperatures average around 21℃ — just right for wandering through the city's main square, or admiring baroque architecture like Capilla del Rosario.
Machu Picchu
Spring is a time of transition (过渡) at Machu Picchu. Tourists looking for ideal weather can book a trip in May, the beginning of this Peruvian heritage site’s dry season. No matter when you visit,you' ll be glad you have come as you set eyes on the 600-year-old Inca Citadel, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Yellowstone National Park
As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring. Tourists can hike on the lower elevation (高度) trails that open in April and May, while those who love mammals can keep their eyes peeled forbears coming out of hibernation with their cubs.
Arches National Park
You’ll be comfortable while exploring the park’s 2,000 arches or biking along its scenic paved roads.If you’re willing to risk a cold front, you can avoid the crowds during a March trip. During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.

Before the peak summer crowds roll in, you can explore unique scenic spots with out the overwhelming rush of tourists.(随着雪开始融化成遥远的记忆,今年春天一定要去户外。在夏季高峰期人群涌入之前,你可以在没有巨大的游客量涌入的情况下探索独特的景点)”可知,春天旅行的好处在于游客较少。故选A项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。由Yellowstone National Park中“As the snowfall starts to slow down, baby animals emerge in Yellowstone, making this national park an excellent place to spot wildlife in spring.(随着降雪开始放缓,黄石公园出现了小动物,使这个国家公园成为春季观赏野生动物的好地方)”可知,Yellowstone National Park适合动物爱好者。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。由Arches National Park中“During the peak months of April and May, all park visitors will need a reservation to enter — an easy trade — off for perfect weather and seeing desert blooms sprout.(在4月和5月的高峰期,所有公园游客都需要预订才能进入——这是一个很容易的交易——以获得完美的天气和看到沙漠花朵发芽)”可知,游客在四月参观Arches National Park时应该提前预订。故选C项。
B
Long before I had studied a second language, I had an absolute romance with my first language — English. When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood. If something that qualifies has qualification, I thought something that terrifies ought to have terrification. This way of thinking opened up a whole world of creativity to me that had never existed before.
However, when I started studying other languages, I lost this fascination. The more I’ve interacted with other masters of many languages, the more this seems like an almost universally shared experience: as one falls in love with other languages and digs into other forms of communication, one starts to lose an appreciation of his or her native tongue. This is perfectly natural. As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison.
But then something happened that completely refueled the love I had for my mother tongue: I encountered that same creative passion I once felt in somebody else’s work. One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid.
Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language.
24. What could the author do at a young age?
A. Guess new words’ meanings. B. Make up non-existent words.
C. Make use of grammatical rules. D. Create new sentence structures.
25. Why did the author lose the love for English?
A. Its popularity was in decline. B. Its inflexibility was apparent.
C. It failed to offer fresh excitement. D. It gave him fewer growth chances.
26. What does the underlined word “allured” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Sensed. B. Drawn. C. Persuaded. D. Supported.
27. What finally made the author appreciate English?
A. Poems’ complex emotions. B. Special writing techniques.
C. Lewis Carroll’s creativity. D. Intense love for literature.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者对母语英语的情感变化过程,从最初对英语的热爱,到学习其他语言后对英语的热情减退,再到通过阅读刘易斯·卡罗尔的作品重新燃起对英语的热爱。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When I was a boy, I realized that by applying certain linguistic (语言的) rules, I could coin words that could be entirely understood.(当我还是个小男孩的时候,我意识到通过应用某些语言规则,我可以创造出完全能被理解的单词。)”可知,作者在小的时候可以创造不存在的单词。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“As we begin to expand our views in new and exciting ways through foreign languages, our native language begins to seem uninteresting, and even annoying by comparison.(当我们开始通过外语以新的和令人兴奋的方式扩展我们的视野时,相比之下,我们的母语开始显得无趣,甚至令人厌烦。)”可知,作者失去对英语的热爱是因为英语无法再给他带来新鲜的兴奋感。故选C项。
【26题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“One of my favorite books as a child was Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll. Reading this book over again as an adult, I was just as allured by it as when I was a kid.(我小时候最喜欢的书之一是刘易斯·卡罗尔的《爱丽丝镜中奇遇记》。成年后再读这本书,我依然像小时候一样allured。)”可知,作者小时候对语言着迷,成年后也一样被吸引,所以划线词“allured”意为“吸引”,与“Drawn”含义相近。故选B项。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Some words in this book either aren’t real words, or weren’t real words at the time that the book was written. But they feel like specific types of words that you associate with a certain sort of feeling. The linguistic differences that went into every non-content word were absolutely fascinating, and the more I read and recited poems in this book, the more I felt the familiar warm passion for English. I decided to take some focus away from foreign languages for a while just to focus on and properly appreciate my first language. (这本书中的一些单词要么不是真实的单词,要么在写这本书的时候不是真实的单词。但它们让你联想到某种特定感觉的特定类型的单词。每一个非内容词中的语言差异都绝对令人着迷,我读和背诵这本书中的诗歌越多,我就越能感受到对英语的熟悉和热情。我决定暂时把注意力从外语上移开,专注于并好好欣赏我的母语。)”可知,是刘易斯·卡罗尔的创造力最终让作者重新欣赏英语。故选C项。
C
Imagine a future where the most powerful computers aren’t made of silicon chips, but are grown from living cells. This is the ambitious goal of synthetic (合成) biology, and a team from MIT has just taken a groundbreaking step. They have successfully engineered common baker’s yeast (酵母) cells to perform basic computational operations, effectively turning them into tiny, self-reproducing biological computers.
Traditional computers process information using a binary (二进制) code of 0s and 1s, represented by electrical currents. The MIT team’s system, however, works differently. They redesigned the yeast’s genetic circuits so that specific combinations of chemicals act as “input” signals. When the yeast cell detects these chemical clues, it triggers a chain of internal gene expression, ultimately leading to a visible “output” — for example, the cell giving off a green light under a microscope to signal a “YES” answer, or remaining dull for a “NO”.
This achievement, published in Science, is revolutionary for several reasons. First, these biological computers are incredibly energy-efficient, running on the same sugar nutrients the yeast uses to grow. Second, they are self-assembling and self-repairing, properties no silicon-based machine possesses. Most importantly, they can operate in complex, liquid environments inside the body or in ecosystems, where traditional electronics fail.
The immediate application lies in smart diagnostics (诊断). Imagine taking in a capsule containing these engineered yeast cells. They could travel through your body, detect specific disease markers, and produce a clear visual signal in your waste, offering a cheap and safe diagnostic tool. In the longer term, such “wetware” computers could monitor environmental pollution or even direct the behavior of future living machines.
Of course, significant challenges remain. The “calculation” speed of cells is currently far slower than that of electronic computers, and designing reliable, complex genetic circuits is immensely difficult. Yet, this research lights the path to a future where computation is smoothly woven into the fabric of life itself.
28. How does the biological computer indicate its output?
A. By giving off an observable signal. B. By detecting specific chemical clues.
C. By activating gene expression chains. D. By using a combination of chemicals.
29. What powers the biological computer?
A. Sugar nutrients that support yeast growth.
B. A capsule containing engineered yeast cells.
C. The process of assembling and repairing itself.
D. Electrical energy generated by genetic circuits.
30. What might challenge the development of biological computers?
A. Finding a more energetic organism. B. Overcoming major ethical concerns.
C. Improving genetic engineering design. D. Developing faster electronic computers.
31. Which of the following is the best title for this article?
A. A Brighter Future: How Yeast Will Diagnose Disease
B. Encode Information: The Making of a Bio-Supercomputer
C. The End of Silicon: Why living Computers Are Taking Over
D. Compute Differently: Engineering Cells to Process Information
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了合成生物学领域的一项突破性进展:麻省理工学院(MIT)的一个团队成功将普通面包酵母细胞改造成能执行基本计算操作的微型生物计算机。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When the yeast cell detects these chemical clues, it triggers a chain of internal gene expression, ultimately leading to a visible “output” — for example, the cell giving off a green light under a microscope to signal a “YES” answer, or remaining dull for a “NO”.(当酵母细胞检测到这些化学线索时,便会触发一系列内部基因表达,最终产生一个可见的“输出”——例如,细胞在显微镜下发出绿光,表示“是”的答案;若不发光,则表示“否”)”可知,生物计算机通过发出可观察到的信号来表明其输出结果。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“First, these biological computers are incredibly energy-efficient, running on the same sugar nutrients the yeast uses to grow.( 首先,这些生物计算机的能耗极低,其运行所需的能量与酵母生长所依赖的糖类营养物质相同)”可知,为生物计算机提供动力的是能为酵母生长提供能量的糖类营养物质。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Of course, significant challenges remain. The “calculation” speed of cells is currently far slower than that of electronic computers, and designing reliable, complex genetic circuits is immensely difficult.(当然,目前仍存在重大挑战。细胞的“计算”速度目前远低于电子计算机,而且设计可靠、复杂的基因回路极其困难)”可知,可能会对生物计算机的发展构成挑战的是改进基因工程设计。故选C。
【31题详解】

Contextualism (语境主义) has a long history in historiography (历史编纂学), dating back to the work of historians such as Leopold von Ranke in the 19th century. His emphasis on understanding historical events as they actually were laid the groundwork for the development of contextualist approaches to historical interpretation. In the 20th century, historians such as Quentin Skinner and J. G. A. Pocock further developed contextualist approaches, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical texts and events within their specific linguistic and cultural contexts.
A contextualist approach to historical interpretation requires a deep understanding of the cultural, social, and time context in which historical events occurred. This involves considering factors such as the cultural standards and values of the time, the social structures and institutions that shaped historical events, and the time context, including the specific historical period and any relevant events or trends.
One of the key challenges of historical interpretation is avoiding anachronism (时代错位) and presentism. Anachronism involves putting modern concepts, values, or beliefs onto historical figures or events, while presentism involves judging historical events by modern standards. A contextualist approach helps historians avoid these errors by emphasizing the importance of understanding historical events within their specific context. For example, it would be anachronistic to put modern ideas of human rights onto historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves yet became the leading author of the United States Declaration of Independence. Instead, historians must consider Jefferson’s actions within the context of his time, taking into account the popular attitudes towards slavery and human rights.
While contextualism is a powerful approach to historical interpretation, it is not without its challenges and limitations. Some of the key challenges include: the complexity of reconstructing historical context, which can be incomplete; the risk of cultural and historical relativism, which can make it difficult to evaluate certain historical events critically; the challenge of balancing contextual understanding with the need to draw broader conclusions and lessons from historical events.
32. What did Skinner and Pocock contribute to contextualism?
A. They clarified its definition. B. They demonstrated its logic.
C. They expanded its applications. D. They emphasized its objectives.
33. Which factor may belong to the social context?
A. Strict laws and regulations. B. Unusual customs and fashions.
C. Social values and judgments. D. Linguistic symbols and habits.
34. What does the author imply in paragraph 3?
A. Jefferson ignored human rights. B. Causes behind actions were key.
C. Presentism mislabels past events. D. Subjectivity was difficult to resist.
35. Why is contextualism an imperfect approach?
A. It may reach a narrow conclusion. B. It infers from second-hand records
C. It digs into some pointless elements. D. It may find excuses for subjectivity.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语境主义在历史编纂学中的发展历程、核心要求、作用以及面临的挑战和局限性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the 20th century, historians such as Quentin Skinner and J. G. A. Pocock further developed contextualist approaches, emphasizing the importance of understanding historical texts and events within their specific linguistic and cultural contexts.(20世纪,昆汀·斯金纳和J.G.A.波科克等历史学家进一步发展了语境主义方法,强调在特定语言和文化语境中理解历史文本与事件的重要性。)”可知,二人拓展了语境主义的应用范围与研究方向。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“This involves considering factors such as the cultural standards and values of the time, the social structures and institutions that shaped historical events, and the time context, including the specific historical period and any relevant events or trends.(这需要考虑诸多因素,包括当时的文化标准和价值观、塑造历史事件的社会结构和制度以及时间背景,包括特定的历史时期和任何相关事件或趋势。)”以及常识可知,社会结构与制度属于社会背景,严格的法律法规属于社会结构与制度方面,所以严格的法律法规可能属于社会背景。故选A项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Instead, historians must consider Jefferson’s actions within the context of his time, taking into account the popular attitudes towards slavery and human rights.(反而,历史学家必须结合杰斐逊所处时代的背景,考量当时对奴隶制与人权的普遍态度来理解他的行为。)”可知,作者在本段中暗示了行为背后的原因是关键,要结合当时的具体情况来理解历史人物的行为。故选B项。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Some of the key challenges include: the complexity of reconstructing historical context, which can be incomplete; the risk of cultural and historical relativism, which can make it difficult to evaluate certain historical events critically; the challenge of balancing contextual understanding with the need to draw broader conclusions and lessons from historical events.(一些关键的挑战包括:重建历史背景的复杂性,这可能是不完整的;文化和历史相对主义的风险,这使得难以批判性地评估某些历史事件;平衡语境理解与从历史事件中得出更广泛结论和教训的需求的挑战。)”可知,语境主义是一种不完美的方法,语境主义可能因过于关注具体语境而导致结论狭隘。故选A项。
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 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.
____36____
Now researchers are investigating how the way people are influenced in their buying decisions can be explained by swarm intelligence. ____37____ 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. ____38____ 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.
____39____ 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. ____40____
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】36. B 37. G 38. D 39. C 40. E
【解析】

【36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。
【37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。
【38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。
【39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。
【40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。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Daniel had always been the top student in his class. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to his studies and consistently achieved the highest grades. Because of this, he viewed school merely as a place of competition. He spent all his time alone — either buried in books in the library or studying quietly at home. He never joined any clubs or sports teams; to Daniel, his classmates were not friends, but rivals he needed to outperform.
Everything changed when his math teacher, Mr. Wilson, launched a new class project called “Learning Together”. Each student was required to work with a partner for a month before the final presentation. Daniel was paired with Alex, a friendly boy who was loved by everyone. He played on the school basketball team and always wore a warm smile. However, Alex struggled greatly with math and often failed his tests.
Their first meeting was awkward and tense. Daniel was eager to finish the project quickly, so he explained the math problems in a hurried, confusing manner. Alex looked completely lost but refused to give up, asking questions like, “Why does this formula work?” or “Can we use a simpler example?” Daniel felt annoyed at first, thinking the answers were obvious and Alex was wasting his time.
One afternoon, after another frustrating study session, Alex stayed behind. He opened his notebook and showed it to Daniel — its pages were filled with colorful drawings alongside the math problems. Alex had drawn basketball courts to illustrate angles and pizza slices to explain fractions. “This is how I see the world, “Alex said softly.” I just can’t seem to connect these pictures to the numbers on the page.”
Daniel stared at the drawings, a strange feeling welling up inside him. He realized Alex was neither lazy nor stupid — he was trying his hardest, just in his own unique way. Daniel had never thought about math like this before; to him, it was nothing but rigid rules and correct answers, but to Alex, it was a part of everyday life. That evening, Daniel went home and thought long and hard. Maybe, he reflected, he could learn something valuable from Alex too.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The day before the presentation, Alex called Daniel, his voice full of worry.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When standing in front of the class, Daniel did something no one expected.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________
【答案】 The day before the presentation, Alex called Daniel, his voice trembling with worry. He admitted he still could not remember the formulas and was afraid of messing up. Daniel remembered Alex’s colorful, creative drawings and comforted him gently. He promised they would get through this together. That night, they video-called and practiced again. Daniel let Alex explain the math concepts using his drawings as guides. He patiently helped Alex connect the pictures to the numbers and formulas. Little by little, Alex grew more confident.
When standing in front of the class, Daniel did something no one expected. Instead of starting the presentation himself, he turned to Alex and said firmly that Alex would explain their project first. Alex looked surprised but quickly nodded. He talked about his drawings, explaining angles with basketball courts and fractions with pizza slices. The class listened attentively and cheered warmly when he finished. Daniel then joined in, adding precise formulas and detailed reasoning. Their presentation was a great success. In that moment, Daniel understood that learning was never just about competition. It was also about sharing, understanding, and growing together.

【导语】本文以丹尼尔对学习的认知变化为线索展开。起初他视学习为竞争,独来独往,但在与同学艾利克斯合作过程中,他逐渐被触动并反思。最终,二人合作完成了学习项目,取得成功,丹尼尔也领悟到学习的真正意义在于分享、理解与共同成长。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
