This is depressing: people are using AI to solve escape room puzzles and cheat at trivia nights. It’s like going into a corn maze (迷宫) and just wanting a straight line to the end. Surely, that is the definition of wrecking your own fun.
I’m puzzled how anyone could enjoy using a large language model (LLM) to sound “clever” or participate in any AI-hacked hobby. It doesn’t matter much, I suppose — this isn’t AI as existential threat. But it matters for fun — let the bots take our work, but not our joy! I wouldn’t tell anyone how to enjoy themselves — I’m no expert on fun, and would definitely end up sounding like an AI-generated Substack if I did (hug a tree, speak to a stranger, laugh with loved ones). But I have been thinking what makes me feel most vividly alive and I’m aiming to do more of it — my individual fightback against the “impersonal universal”.
The first one is singing. I expect AI to search through musical classics to compose great songs, but it can’t produce the entertainment of my small choir composed of very particular humans. We’re not the most polished singers, but listening to one another and trying to blend (融合) our voices gives me an intense sense of connection. Occasionally, everything comes together and we produce a few seconds of surprising beauty. When it doesn’t, it’s fun anyway.
I also get a fair amount of joy from people — I say this as a lifelong introvert (内向的人). When I try to identify my most reliable source of pleasure, it’s wandering round a strange city looking at its inhabitants. What are people wearing, eating, talking about; what annoys them; what kind of dogs do they have? It’s an all-you-can-eat human buffet.
That’s the secret for me: AI can explain what we are as a whole, but it blends all our colours to a muddy brown; it can’t capture the joy of the absolutely particular.
4. What does the underlined word “wrecking” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Ruining. B. Creating. C. Enjoying. D. Spreading
5. Which of the following would the author disapprove of?
A. Following AI-generated suggestions. B. Encouraging others to enjoy themselves.
C. Taking advantage of AI in the workplace. D. Making use of AI in recreational activities.
6. What is the problem of AI-generated music?
A. It is impersonal. B. It is unoriginal. C. It is serious. D. It is complex.
7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. AI is less intelligent than humans. B. True joy lies in individual uniqueness.
C. Particularity is the key to improving AI. D. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,作者对人们利用人工智能破解密室谜题、参与趣味活动的行为表示不解,认为这破坏了娱乐的本质,夺走了人们的快乐。作者指出人工智能虽能完成工作、创作作品,却无法复制人类在社交和娱乐中感受到的独特联结与专属快乐,真正的快乐源于人与人之间具体、独特的相处与体验。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“people are using AI to solve escape room puzzles and cheat at trivia nights. It’s like going into a corn maze (迷宫) and just wanting a straight line to the end.(人们利用人工智能破解密室逃脱谜题,在知识问答之夜作弊,这就像走进玉米迷宫却只想走一条直达终点的直线)”及后文“Surely, that is the definition of wrecking your own fun.(毫无疑问,这简直就是在wrecking自己的乐趣)”可知,利用人工智能破解密室、答题作弊相当于直接走捷径,这是在破坏自己的乐趣, “wrecking”意为“破坏”。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“But it matters for fun — let the bots take our work, but not our joy! (但这对乐趣来说至关重要——让机器人接手我们的工作,但不要夺走我们的快乐!)”可知,作者反对在娱乐活动中利用人工智能。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I expect AI to search through musical classics to compose great songs, but it can’t produce the entertainment of my small choir composed of very particular humans.(我期待人工智能能够从音乐经典作品中汲取灵感,创作出优秀的歌曲,但它无法带来我那由一群独具特色的人类成员组成的小小合唱团所带来的那种娱乐体验)”及最后一段“AI can explain what we are as a whole, but it blends all our colours to a muddy brown; it can’t capture the joy of the absolutely particular.(人工智能可以从整体上解释我们是什么,却把所有色彩都混成了浑浊的棕色;它无法捕捉独一无二的个体所带来的乐趣)”可知,人工智能创作的音乐缺乏人情味,没有独特的情感联结。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI can explain what we are as a whole, but it blends all our colours to a muddy brown; it can’t capture the joy of the absolutely particular.(人工智能可以从整体上解释我们是什么,却把所有色彩都混成了浑浊的棕色;它无法捕捉独一无二的个体所带来的乐趣)”可知,作者暗示真正的快乐存在于个体的独特性之中。故选B。

You might have heard of the placebo effect. It describes how people feel better even when the pill they take is just a “sugar pill” with no medicine. This phenomenon highlights the strong connection between the mind and the body. However, scientists have also identified its opposite: the “nocebo effect.” This occurs when people expect a treatment to have negative results, and then they actually start to experience those symptoms.
A classic study provides a clear example. Researchers looked at men taking a new drug for heart disease. One group was specifically warned that “stomach upset” was a potential side effect, while the other group received no such warning. The results were surprising. The men who were warned reported the symptom at much higher rates than those who were not. Their concern alone was enough to produce the very problem they had been cautioned about.
In recent years, the power of the nocebo effect has been magnified by social media. Australian researchers found a direct link among participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. The more scary stories of vaccine side effects people read on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the more severe their own symptoms became after vaccination. This suggests that repeated exposure to negative stories can shape not only our perception but also our actual physical feelings.
Fortunately, the “cure” for the nocebo effect is quite simple: step away from the keyboard. By limiting exposure to alarmist (骇人的) stories and focusing instead on factual information from trusted doctors, individuals can reduce the chance of developing imagined side effects. In an age where digital stories spread instantly, being mindful of what we consume is essential to our well-being. Recognizing the nocebo effect reminds us that sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply a calm and informed mind.
8. What can be inferred about the nocebo effect?
A. It helps the sick people avoid side effects.
B. It reflects how the mind affects the body.
C. It is a newly identified psychological disorder.
D. It occurs only in the context of taking medicine.
9. What does the heart disease drug study demonstrate?
A. Expectations can lead to physical discomfort.
B. Side effects are unavoidable for most patients.
C. Patients should be informed about side effects.
D. New drugs often carry some unexpected risks.
10. What does the underlined word “magnified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Confirmed. B. Strengthened.
C. Weakened. D. Presented
11. What is the author’s advice for well-being?
A. Avoid using social media platforms entirely.
B. Consult doctors as frequently as possible.
C. Focus only on positive medical outcomes.
D. Engage with digital content in a mindful way.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了反安慰剂效应的概念、实例、影响以及应对方法,提醒人们要关注自身对信息的摄入,以保持身心健康。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“However, scientists have also identified its opposite: the “nocebo effect.” This occurs when people expect a treatment to have negative results, and then they actually start to experience those symptoms. (然而,科学家们也发现了它的反面:“反安慰剂效应”。当人们预期某种治疗会产生负面结果,然后他们真的开始出现这些症状时,就会发生这种情况。)”可知,反安慰剂效应体现了人们的心理预期会对身体产生影响,即反映了心理如何影响身体。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“A classic study provides a clear example. Researchers looked at men taking a new drug for heart disease. One group was specifically warned that “stomach upset” was a potential side effect, while the other group received no such warning. The results were surprising. The men who were warned reported the symptom at much higher rates than those who were not. Their concern alone was enough to produce the very problem they had been cautioned about. (一项经典研究提供了一个明确的例子。研究人员观察了服用心脏病新药的男性。一组被特别警告“胃部不适”是潜在的副作用,而另一组则没有得到这样的警告。结果令人惊讶。被警告的男性报告这种症状的比率远高于未被警告的男性。仅他们的担忧就足以产生他们被警告过的问题。)”可知,心脏病药物研究证明了人们的预期会导致身体不适。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“In recent years, the power of the nocebo effect has been magnified by social media. Australian researchers found a direct link among participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. The more scary stories of vaccine side effects people read on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the more severe their own symptoms became after vaccination. (近年来,社交媒体____反安慰剂效应的力量。澳大利亚研究人员在新冠肺炎疫情期间发现了参与者之间的直接联系。人们在Facebook和Twitter等平台上读到的关于疫苗副作用的可怕故事越多,他们接种疫苗后的症状就越严重。)”可知,社交媒体放大了反安慰剂效应的力量,所以magnified意为“加强,放大”,与strengthened意思相近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“By limiting exposure to alarmist (骇人的) stories and focusing instead on factual information from trusted doctors, individuals can reduce the chance of developing imagined side effects. In an age where digital stories spread instantly, being mindful of what we consume is essential to our well-being. (通过限制接触骇人听闻的故事,转而关注来自值得信赖的医生的事实信息,个人可以减少产生想象中的副作用的机会。在这个数字故事迅速传播的时代,关注我们所消费的内容对我们的健康至关重要。)”可知,作者建议人们要谨慎地接触数字内容,关注自身对信息的摄入。故选D项。

The Palace Museum in Beijing is embracing digital innovation to preserve and share its rich cultural heritage. By blending ancient traditions with advanced technologies, the museum is building an intelligent and open “digital Palace Museum” system to ensure the lasting transmission of its treasures.
The museum manages more than 1.95 million cultural relics (文物). To ensure their permanent preservation, it has made an unprecedented effort to capture digital images and 3D data. To date, the museum has collected digital data on 1.07 million artifacts, accounting for more than 53 percent of its total collection. Meanwhile, it promotes public access to these resources. The digital gallery on its website has made images of 150,000 artifacts available to the public, transforming its database from an internal tool into a public resource.
Beyond simple images, the museum has explored the use of virtual reality (VR) and other technologies to provide immersive experiences. Drawing on its rich 3D data, the museum has developed VR programs focused on iconic spaces like the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Visitors can “enter” these spaces through VR headsets for interactive exploration. This innovative approach allows the public to connect with history in a deeply personal and engaging manner.
To reach a wider audience, the museum also operates accounts on major social media platforms, with a combined following of over 40 million. It has released various short videos and interactive podcasts to present traditional culture in innovative ways. Additionally, more than 10 mobile apps have been developed. For instance, the “Daily Palace Museum” app introduces one artifact each day, bringing the beauty of heritage into everyday life.
For over two decades, the Palace Museum has been at the forefront of using technology to revitalize (使恢复生机) cultural heritage. Looking ahead, it will continue to strengthen digital innovation. The museum is not only protecting its collection but also serving as a key window through which the world can better understand Chinese civilization.
12. What can be inferred about the database from paragraph 2?
A. It focuses only on 3D data.
B. It has covered all cultural relics.
C. It is increasingly open to the public.
D. It mainly serves the museum’s staff.
13. How does VR technology benefit the museum’s visitors?
A. By helping them avoid long queues for tickets.
B. By replacing the need for physical museum visits.
C. By allowing them to get access to iconic historical places.
D. By providing immersive and interactive historical connections.
14. What is the intended effect of the museum’s apps?
A. To teach people how to use digital devices.
B. To encourage people to buy more souvenirs.
C. To integrate cultural beauty into our daily life.
D. To increase the museum’s social media followers.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. The History of the Palace Museum
B. The Importance of Protecting Ancient Relics
C. Digital Innovation: Breathing Life into Heritage
D. Virtual Reality: The Future of Chinese Museums
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了北京故宫博物院如何通过数字化创新保护和分享其丰富的文化遗产,包括数字化数据收集、虚拟现实技术应用、社交媒体推广以及移动应用开发等方面的内容。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The digital gallery on its website has made images of 150,000 artifacts available to the public, transforming its database from an internal tool into a public resource. (其网站上的数字画廊已向公众提供15万件文物的图像,将其数据库从内部工具转变为公共资源。)”可知,数据库从内部工具转变为公共资源,说明它越来越向公众开放。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Drawing on its rich 3D data, the museum has developed VR programs focused on iconic spaces like the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Visitors can “enter” these spaces through VR headsets for interactive exploration. This innovative approach allows the public to connect with history in a deeply personal and engaging manner. (博物馆利用其丰富的3D数据,开发了以养心殿等标志性空间为重点的虚拟现实项目。游客可以通过虚拟现实头盔“进入”这些空间进行互动探索。这种创新方法让公众能够以一种非常个人化和引人入胜的方式与历史联系起来。)”可知,VR技术为游客提供了沉浸式和互动式的历史体验,使他们能够与历史建立深刻的联系。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“For instance, the “Daily Palace Museum” app introduces one artifact each day, bringing the beauty of heritage into everyday life. (例如,“每日故宫”应用程序每天介绍一件文物,将遗产之美带入日常生活。)”可知,博物馆的应用程序旨在将文化遗产的美融入我们的日常生活中。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The Palace Museum in Beijing is embracing digital innovation to preserve and share its rich cultural heritage. By blending ancient traditions with advanced technologies, the museum is building an intelligent and open “digital Palace Museum” system to ensure the lasting transmission of its treasures. (北京故宫博物院正积极采用数字化创新手段,保护和分享其丰富的文化遗产。通过将古老传统与先进技术相结合,故宫博物院正在构建一个智能开放的“数字故宫博物院”系统,以确保其珍宝的永久传承。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了故宫博物院如何通过数字化创新来保护和传承文化遗产,使文化遗产焕发新的生机。因此,C项“Digital Innovation: Breathing Life into Heritage (数字化创新:为遗产注入生机)”最符合文章主旨,适合作标题。

考查形容词。句意同11小题。A. cruel冷酷的;B. gentle温和的;C. ambiguous模糊的;D. shallow肤浅的。结合上文“a “white lie” would spare her unnecessary ____ .”可知,直接指出缺点、实话实说往往比较伤人、冷酷。
【34题详解】
考查动词。句意:归根结底,重要的不是我们说的每句话是否符合事实,而是我们的沟通是否真正有助于鼓励我们在乎的人。A. fails失败;B. tends倾向;C. serves有助于、起到作用;D. hesitates犹豫。根据上文“When she finally won the award, she ____ my early feedback as the engine for her growth.”可知,沟通中重要的所说的话能鼓励我们在乎的人,serve to do 表示“有助于、用来做某事”,贴合语境。
【35题详解】
考查形容词。句意:心怀善意说出的谎言,或许能换来更深层次的真实。A. better更好的;B. deeper更深的;C. harsher更严厉的;D. simpler更简单的。根据上文讲述艾玛因作者善意的谎言而获得鼓励来提高自己,并因此而获奖可知,此处指善意的谎言或许能带来更深层次的真实——对在乎的人的关爱。

44. seasonal
45. a
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍中国传统小吃青团的原料、制作工艺、口味特点以及其承载的春日寓意与文化内涵。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它最显著的特点是清新自然的绿色,这种颜色来自野生绿色植物或青草汁,赋予青团淡雅清新的草本香气。此处引导非限制性定语从句,指代前文整句话内容,从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:青团主要由糯米粉和新鲜植物制成,口感软糯有嚼劲。此处修饰介词短语,需用副词,primary的副词形式为primarily意为“主要地”。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:它通常包裹着香甜的红豆沙、香浓的黑芝麻,或是如今愈发流行的咸蛋黄馅料。固定搭配be filled with,意为“充满;包裹有”,所以此处为介词with。
【39题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:制作过程十分讲究:新鲜叶子经过焯水、捶打、挤压取汁,随后再与糯米粉精心混合揉成光滑的面团。此处为谓语动词,描述客观制作流程,用一般现在时,主语fresh leaves与boil之间为被动关系,所以用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语为名词复数,所以谓语动词为are boiled。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:制作过程十分讲究:新鲜叶子经过焯水、捶打、挤压取汁,随后再与糯米粉精心混合揉成光滑的面团。此处为非谓语动词作状语,表示混合米粉的目的是揉成面团,所以用动词不定式to form作目的状语。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:面团包入馅料,捏成圆球,蒸熟后色泽光亮、口感软糯。此处为非谓语动词作并列状语,dough与shape之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词shaped。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:除了美味的口感,青团还承载着丰富的文化内涵。此处为谓语动词,描述客观事实,用一般现在时,主语qingtuan是第三人称单数,所以谓语动词为carries。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:它象征着春天的到来、对先人的缅怀以及传统习俗的传承。定冠词the后接名词作宾语,arrive的名词形式为arrival意为“到达”。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:对中国人而言,它不仅是时令美食,更是一种文化符号。此处修饰名词delicacy,需用形容词,season的形容词形式为seasonal意为“时令的、季节性的”。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:对中国人而言,它不仅是时令美食,更是一种联结人与自然、历史与春日温情的文化符号。cultural symbol为可数名词单数,空前无限定词,结合句意,此处表示“一种文化符号”为泛指,且cultural是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词a。

【答案】Should the Badminton Club Set Entry Requirements?
Good morning, everyone.
Campus clubs are always warm places where we share our passions and make like-minded friends. When it comes to the strict entry rules for new members, I’m worried they will greatly shrink the club’s scale and make it lose valuable fresh blood, which is harmful to its long-term development.
The club should lower entry barriers to welcome more enthusiasts. By launching “senior leads junior” pairing programs and regular basic training camps, beginners can gradually improve their skills. This not only helps new members grow quickly but also expands the club’s campus influence.

47. 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。
Every day after school, Lucas and Noah pressed their noses against Mr. Henderson’s shop window. They stared at the red bicycle that stood proudly in the center of the display. For months, they had saved every spare coin, yet the price still seemed far beyond their reach.
When the first snow of winter covered their town, the brothers saw an opportunity. They grabbed their shovels (铲子), determined to turn the snowfall into savings through hard work.
They started in their own neighborhood. But many residents had already cleared their walkways, and those who hadn’t only offered a few coins for short paths. After several tiring hours, they had earned just seven dollars — far less than they hoped.
Refusing to give up, they headed to Maple Street, where the houses were bigger and the driveways deeper in snow. Noah knocked on the door of a beautiful Victorian house. Mrs. Williams answered, looking like she was in a hurry. When Noah asked if she needed her driveway shoveled, she agreed at once. She took a twenty-dollar bill from her purse and placed it into Noah’s hand.
“I have to rush out,” she said with an encouraging smile. “I’ll leave it in your capable hands.”
The boys stared at the bill, amazed. Twenty dollars — more than they had made the entire day! Laughing in disbelief, they set to work with fresh energy. The initial excitement carried them through the first hour of work. But as the afternoon darkened and the temperature dropped, the work became harder. Their hands grew numb (麻木), their muscles ached, and the long driveway seemed endless.
Halfway through, Lucas threw down his shovel in frustration (沮丧). “Let’s just go. She’ll never know we didn’t finish.”

【答案】参考范文(162词)
Noah’s aching hands seemed to agree with his brother’s words. For a moment, he stood frozen, torn between exhaustion and responsibility. Walking away meant warmth and rest, yet Mrs. Williams’ trusting smile appeared in his mind, reminding him of the confidence she had placed in them. He held the shovel tightly, bent down, and continued clearing the snow. Lucas watched him quietly and soon joined him without hesitation. Side by side, they worked through the bitter cold. In the fading light, the driveway slowly took shape under their steady effort.
As they cleared the final shovel of snow, Mrs. Williams’ car returned. She looked at the perfectly shoveled driveway with pleasant surprise and expressed genuine appreciation, saying that she had known they would keep their promise. A quiet warmth spread inside the boys. On the way home, Noah touched the twenty-dollar bill in his pocket. Their dream of the red bicycle felt a little closer, yet he realized that what they earned that day was far more valuable than money. The lesson about honesty would stay with them long after the snow melted.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Lucas和Noah为买心仪的自行车,下雪天铲雪赚钱,最终坚守诚信完成工作并领悟道理的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Noah酸痛的双手似乎也在赞同哥哥的话。”以及第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时,Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知,第一段可描写思虑之后,兄弟俩还是决定遵守承诺。
②由第二段首句内容“当他们铲完最后一铲雪时,Williams夫人的车回来了。”可知,第二段可描写Williams夫人非常感谢他们,而他们也明白了诚实的重要性。
2.续写线索:Noah也赞同哥哥的话,但是,他突然想起Williams夫人的信任——于是他决定继续清理积雪,而Lucas静静看着他,也加入他一起清理积雪——慢慢地,车道开始露出原貌——Williams夫人也回来了——她看着干干净净的车道,非常感动,她感谢了俩人的信守承诺——兄弟俩也明白了诚实的重要性

This is depressing: people are using AI to solve escape room puzzles and cheat at trivia nights. It’s like going into a corn maze (迷宫) and just wanting a straight line to the end. Surely, that is the definition of wrecking your own fun.
I’m puzzled how anyone could enjoy using a large language model (LLM) to sound “clever” or participate in any AI-hacked hobby. It doesn’t matter much, I suppose — this isn’t AI as existential threat. But it matters for fun — let the bots take our work, but not our joy! I wouldn’t tell anyone how to enjoy themselves — I’m no expert on fun, and would definitely end up sounding like an AI-generated Substack if I did (hug a tree, speak to a stranger, laugh with loved ones). But I have been thinking what makes me feel most vividly alive and I’m aiming to do more of it — my individual fightback against the “impersonal universal”.
The first one is singing. I expect AI to search through musical classics to compose great songs, but it can’t produce the entertainment of my small choir composed of very particular humans. We’re not the most polished singers, but listening to one another and trying to blend (融合) our voices gives me an intense sense of connection. Occasionally, everything comes together and we produce a few seconds of surprising beauty. When it doesn’t, it’s fun anyway.
I also get a fair amount of joy from people — I say this as a lifelong introvert (内向的人). When I try to identify my most reliable source of pleasure, it’s wandering round a strange city looking at its inhabitants. What are people wearing, eating, talking about; what annoys them; what kind of dogs do they have? It’s an all-you-can-eat human buffet.
That’s the secret for me: AI can explain what we are as a whole, but it blends all our colours to a muddy brown; it can’t capture the joy of the absolutely particular.
4. What does the underlined word “wrecking” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Ruining. B. Creating. C. Enjoying. D. Spreading
5. Which of the following would the author disapprove of?
A. Following AI-generated suggestions. B. Encouraging others to enjoy themselves.
C. Taking advantage of AI in the workplace. D. Making use of AI in recreational activities.
6. What is the problem of AI-generated music?
A. It is impersonal. B. It is unoriginal. C. It is serious. D. It is complex.
7. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. AI is less intelligent than humans. B. True joy lies in individual uniqueness.
C. Particularity is the key to improving AI. D. The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
C
You might have heard of the placebo effect. It describes how people feel better even when the pill they take is just a “sugar pill” with no medicine. This phenomenon highlights the strong connection between the mind and the body. However, scientists have also identified its opposite: the “nocebo effect.” This occurs when people expect a treatment to have negative results, and then they actually start to experience those symptoms.
A classic study provides a clear example. Researchers looked at men taking a new drug for heart disease. One group was specifically warned that “stomach upset” was a potential side effect, while the other group received no such warning. The results were surprising. The men who were warned reported the symptom at much higher rates than those who were not. Their concern alone was enough to produce the very problem they had been cautioned about.
In recent years, the power of the nocebo effect has been magnified by social media. Australian researchers found a direct link among participants during the COVID-19 pandemic. The more scary stories of vaccine side effects people read on platforms like Facebook and Twitter, the more severe their own symptoms became after vaccination. This suggests that repeated exposure to negative stories can shape not only our perception but also our actual physical feelings.
Fortunately, the “cure” for the nocebo effect is quite simple: step away from the keyboard. By limiting exposure to alarmist (骇人的) stories and focusing instead on factual information from trusted doctors, individuals can reduce the chance of developing imagined side effects. In an age where digital stories spread instantly, being mindful of what we consume is essential to our well-being. Recognizing the nocebo effect reminds us that sometimes the most powerful medicine is simply a calm and informed mind.
8. What can be inferred about the nocebo effect?
A. It helps the sick people avoid side effects.
B. It reflects how the mind affects the body.
C. It is a newly identified psychological disorder.
D. It occurs only in the context of taking medicine.
9. What does the heart disease drug study demonstrate?
A. Expectations can lead to physical discomfort.
B. Side effects are unavoidable for most patients.
C. Patients should be informed about side effects.
D. New drugs often carry some unexpected risks.
10. What does the underlined word “magnified” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Confirmed. B. Strengthened.
C. Weakened. D. Presented
11. What is the author’s advice for well-being?
A. Avoid using social media platforms entirely.
B. Consult doctors as frequently as possible.
C. Focus only on positive medical outcomes.
D. Engage with digital content in a mindful way.
D
The Palace Museum in Beijing is embracing digital innovation to preserve and share its rich cultural heritage. By blending ancient traditions with advanced technologies, the museum is building an intelligent and open “digital Palace Museum” system to ensure the lasting transmission of its treasures.
The museum manages more than 1.95 million cultural relics (文物). To ensure their permanent preservation, it has made an unprecedented effort to capture digital images and 3D data. To date, the museum has collected digital data on 1.07 million artifacts, accounting for more than 53 percent of its total collection. Meanwhile, it promotes public access to these resources. The digital gallery on its website has made images of 150,000 artifacts available to the public, transforming its database from an internal tool into a public resource.
Beyond simple images, the museum has explored the use of virtual reality (VR) and other technologies to provide immersive experiences. Drawing on its rich 3D data, the museum has developed VR programs focused on iconic spaces like the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Visitors can “enter” these spaces through VR headsets for interactive exploration. This innovative approach allows the public to connect with history in a deeply personal and engaging manner.
To reach a wider audience, the museum also operates accounts on major social media platforms, with a combined following of over 40 million. It has released various short videos and interactive podcasts to present traditional culture in innovative ways. Additionally, more than 10 mobile apps have been developed. For instance, the “Daily Palace Museum” app introduces one artifact each day, bringing the beauty of heritage into everyday life.
For over two decades, the Palace Museum has been at the forefront of using technology to revitalize (使恢复生机) cultural heritage. Looking ahead, it will continue to strengthen digital innovation. The museum is not only protecting its collection but also serving as a key window through which the world can better understand Chinese civilization.
12. What can be inferred about the database from paragraph 2?
A. It focuses only on 3D data.
B. It has covered all cultural relics.
C. It is increasingly open to the public.
D. It mainly serves the museum’s staff.
13. How does VR technology benefit the museum’s visitors?
A. By helping them avoid long queues for tickets.
B. By replacing the need for physical museum visits.
C. By allowing them to get access to iconic historical places.
D. By providing immersive and interactive historical connections.
14. What is the intended effect of the museum’s apps?
A. To teach people how to use digital devices.
B. To encourage people to buy more souvenirs.
C. To integrate cultural beauty into our daily life.
D. To increase the museum’s social media followers.
15. What is the best title of the text?
A. The History of the Palace Museum
B. The Importance of Protecting Ancient Relics
C. Digital Innovation: Breathing Life into Heritage
D. Virtual Reality: The Future of Chinese Museums
