Tobie Spears has always had wanderlust (旅行癖). Several years ago, she hit the road again to see the world. She and her husband drove south through Mexico and into Guatemala.What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers and native residents having lived there for thousands of years.
In a Guatemalan village, it was when Spears and her husband rented a small house that they realized the living conditions were more primitive than back home, but the simple life was appealing. Despite their cheerfulness, the local people struggled with harsh realities: not enough food to eat, poor educational opportunities, and no reliable way to build a self-sufficient life.
Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change.“We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources.
Their first few years centered on completing projects, although traveling four times a year made it difficult to keep the effort going. In time, the locals took to it. The vertical gardening techniques took root, which made more vegetables available. A few sewing machines arrived, and skilled seamstresses emerged. Then Spears realized she needed help.
She reached out to friends, and the joint effort was organized into a nonprofit: BeHumanitarian. With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. A community grew up around the village in Guatemala, with people coming four times a year to support, love and discover what really matters.
“It’s the people you meet and the relationships you build that will fill your life with the feeling of genuine happiness,” said Spears.
24. What first impressed Spears and her husband upon arriving in Guatemala?
A. The residents’ rich traditional culture.
B. The gray landscape of local villages.
C. The area’s attractive natural scenery.
D. The locals’ difficult living conditions.
25. How did Spears and her husband help people in Guatemala?
A. By handing out plenty of donations.
B. By helping them sustain themselves.
C. By telling them to quit their initial work.
D. By convincing them to value education.
26. How did people react to Be Humanitarian?
A. They increased their visits. B. They were in favor of it.
C. They appeared resistant to it. D. They quitted their teaching.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. From a Nonprofit to a Village B. From Sightseeing to Settling Down
C. How Wander Turned Wonder D. How a Couple Developed Wanderlust
C
“We all know that when there’s an earthquake or a tsunami, the first thing that goes down is the power line. When it’s at night, we’re not going to wait until the next morning to rescue survivors.” said Nitin Sanket, assistant professor of robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “So we started looking at nature. Is there a creature in the world which can actually do this?”
Sanket and his students found their answer in bats and the winged mammal’s remarkable ability to echolocate, or find their way via reflected sound. They’re developing air robots that can be flown where and when current drones can’t operate.
Sanket’s drone fits in the palm of his hand, and is made mostly from inexpensive hobby-grade materials and can operate in the dark. A small ultrasonic (超声的) sensor, not unlike those used in automatic faucets (龙头) in public restrooms, copies bat behavior, sending out a pulse (脉冲) of high-frequency sound and using the echo to detect obstacles in its path.
During a recent demonstration, a student used a remote control to launch the drone in a brightly lit room and then again after turning off all but a faintly glowing red light. As it approached a transparent glass wall, the drone repeatedly stopped and backed away, even with the lights off and with fog and fake snow floating in the air.
Yet, the research didn’t always get along well. The researchers realized that the noise of the bat robot disturbed the ultrasound, requiring 3D-printed shells to minimize the disturbance. They also used AI to teach the drone how to filter (过滤) and interpret sound signals.
Still, there’s a long way to go to match bats, which can contract their ear muscles to listen only to certain echoes and can detect something as small as a human hair from several meters away. Sanket said, “We are nowhere close to what nature has achieved, but someday we will be there and these will be useful for application in the wild.”
28. Why did Sanket’s team study bats?
A. For their physical strength. B. For their high flight speed.
C. For their easy accessibility. D. For their navigation skills.
29. What can we learn about the drone from the demonstration?
A. It could even break through glass walls.
B. It performed well regardless of visibility.
C. It required adjustment to avoid obstacles,
D. It needed human help to detect obstacles,
30. What challenge did the researchers encounter during the research?
A. The materials were hardly accessible,
B. The sensor generated too much noise.
C. The AI system failed to process the sound signals.
D. The drone’s operational noise affected its sensor.
31. What does Sanket think of their present achievement?
A. It needs further development. B. It’s unrealistic for practical use.
C. It is ready for widespread use. D. It has already outperformed bats.
D
New research suggests that attention does not remain steady. Instead, it fluctuates (波动) in a rapid cycle, shifting focus about seven to ten times per second. This constant sampling of the environment may have helped humans survive. For our ancestors who had to continue to monitor the environment for attackers while searching for food, this was beneficial.
Ian Fiebelkorn, assistant professor of Neuroscience at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, said,“In today’s world, with laptops open in front of us and a smartphone nearby, rhythmically occurring windows for beneficial attentional shifts might also work against us. That is, rhythmically occurring windows for attentional shifts are also associated with increased susceptibility to distracting information.”
To investigate the subtle shifts in attention, Zach Redding, the first author of the study,recorded brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG). In the experiment, 40participants focused on a dim gray square positioned at the center of a computer screen. At the same time, colored dots appeared as distractions.
The EEG data revealed repeating patterns in brain activity that predicted when attention was more likely to move toward a distractor. These cycles occurred roughly seven to ten times per second. They also lined up with alternating (交替的) periods in which participants were better or worse at noticing the central target. When noticing performance dropped, participants were more easily distracted.
The findings may help researchers better understand attention-related conditions such asADHD (注意缺陷障碍). Although the study did not directly examine people with ADHD, it offers clues about how differences in these brain rhythms could influence focus and distractibility.
“Our research shows that the typical brain rhythmically alternates between states that promote either increased processing at the present focus of attention or an increased likelihood of shifting attentional resources elsewhere,” said Fiebelkorn.“It could be that the brains of people with ADHD do not alternate between these states as often, resulting in a loss of cognitive flexibility.”
32. How did attention fluctuations benefit ancient humans?
A. They helped them discover food easily.
B. They enabled them to watch for dangers.
C. They made them focus on things better.
D. They adapted them to the environment.
33. What does the underlined word “susceptibility” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Defenselessness. B. Resistance. C. Dedication. D. Adaptation.
34. What did the EEG results show?
A. Participants ignored the central target.
B. Distracting dots had no influence at all.
C. Brain waves remained unchanged steadily.
D. Distraction followed brain rhythm changes.
35. What is Fiebelkorn’s explanation about people with ADHD?
A. They have stronger cognitive flexibility.
B. They focus better than ordinary people.
C. Their brain states switch less regularly.
D. Their brain rhythms work much faster.

Nowadays group chats have exploded in popularity because of their informality. That also creates its own challenges, though. Here are some principles of digital etiquette (礼仪) to help us avoid them.
Think before messaging
___36___ . So it helps to think about how the recipients might be affected by your message.That means, for example, not wasting other members' time by asking questions that could be easily found by doing an online search or searching through the previous posts.___37___. People don't appreciate using up their phone memory or burning through their mobile data on useless stuff.
___38___
For those created with a specific function, just stick to the task and don't post any more than you need to. On the other hand, some groups are there for entertainment and in that case, more is more. It should be obvious, but don't post personal stuff in a company or business-related chat, and avoid posting work-related material in a group with friends or family.
Consider the size of the group
There's often someone who feels the need to type out a reply to every post, even if it's just to say “thanks”.___39___ . We ought to consider how many people are in the chat. If there are three of you in the group, a response is almost expected. In a group of fifty or more, however, it is practically a criminal offense.
Keep it clean and decent
This is an especially important point when it comes to work communications. Those group chat platforms feel less formal than email, but don't forget to follow the same guidelines as you do with other company communications. Assume anything messaged can be shared with others no matter how informal it appears. ___40___ .
A. Analyze the members' interest
B. Less can be more in group chats
C. Remember the aim of the chat group
D. And avoid sending videos or files that are very large
E. Even one slip into improper talk can be career-limiting
F. But doing so in a big group might cause a reply-all storm
G. Etiquette is always based on the idea of care and consideration for others

Peterson ____43____ dystonia (肌张力障碍) that disables her left arm and leg. At 13, as her symptoms were just ____44____, skiing became her physical therapy. Over time, the muscle contractions ____45____ her left hand and ankle into fixed positions. So ____46____, she skis with only one pole. Peterson ____47____ her friends and team with helping her cope as her symptoms got much worse.
Now Peterson is ____48____ her days between two worlds: on the slopes (斜坡) and in the lab. Once she finishes her ____49____ of the day, she heads to check on ____50____ in a rare-disease lab.
She notes she’s ____51____ from pursuing both competitive skiing and graduate school at the same time. Things are not always going to be ____52____ in skiing, and graduate school also obviously has its challenges, too — sometimes experiments ____53____, and sometimes they don’t. “Obviously that’s ____54____, but it’s nice to be able to put that. to the side and just go for your training.

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。
Twenty years ago, it was our first time to travel to the United States as Canadians. Unknowingly, my wife and I made the mistake of arriving in New York City on Saint Patrick’s Day. When our taxi driver picked us up at the airport, he pointed out that no matter what route he took to the hotel, it would be a long drive.
As predicted, we slowed to a crawl (缓慢的速度). It was not much of a problem for us as it was our first visit to the city. Everything was new. We were happy to put our windows down and strained our necks upwards to get the best view of the streets as we made our very slow way.
Thousands of people dressed in green seemed to be making their way in the same direction as us. So our progress almost came to a stop. From somewhere up ahead came the sounds of marching music and the general noise associated with a parade in full progress.
After making no progress at all for about fifteen minutes we decided, in consultation with the driver, that our best way of getting to our hotel would be on foot. The driver didn’t hold out any hope of being able to drive anywhere anytime soon. We settled the fare, collected our luggage, and joined the crowds on the parade route.
Seizing the handles of our suitcases, we felt a little out of place not wearing green. Calling on my uncanny (难以解释的) sense of direction, we walked south, the same general direction as most of the crowd. We were carried along with the crowd until the parade was coming to an end and the people were beginning to make their way home. At last, I had absolutely no idea where we were, much less where our hotel was located.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
We had to admit we were lost.

Tobie Spears has always had wanderlust (旅行癖). Several years ago, she hit the road again to see the world. She and her husband drove south through Mexico and into Guatemala.What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers and native residents having lived there for thousands of years.
In a Guatemalan village, it was when Spears and her husband rented a small house that they realized the living conditions were more primitive than back home, but the simple life was appealing. Despite their cheerfulness, the local people struggled with harsh realities: not enough food to eat, poor educational opportunities, and no reliable way to build a self-sufficient life.
Spears wondered what she could do that would make a lasting change.“We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources.
Their first few years centered on completing projects, although traveling four times a year made it difficult to keep the effort going. In time, the locals took to it. The vertical gardening techniques took root, which made more vegetables available. A few sewing machines arrived, and skilled seamstresses emerged. Then Spears realized she needed help.
She reached out to friends, and the joint effort was organized into a nonprofit: BeHumanitarian. With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. A community grew up around the village in Guatemala, with people coming four times a year to support, love and discover what really matters.
“It’s the people you meet and the relationships you build that will fill your life with the feeling of genuine happiness,” said Spears.
24. What first impressed Spears and her husband upon arriving in Guatemala?
A. The residents’ rich traditional culture.
B. The gray landscape of local villages.
C. The area’s attractive natural scenery.
D. The locals’ difficult living conditions.
25. How did Spears and her husband help people in Guatemala?
A. By handing out plenty of donations.
B. By helping them sustain themselves.
C. By telling them to quit their initial work.
D. By convincing them to value education.
26. How did people react to Be Humanitarian?
A. They increased their visits. B. They were in favor of it.
C. They appeared resistant to it. D. They quitted their teaching.
27. What can be the best title for the text?
A. From a Nonprofit to a Village B. From Sightseeing to Settling Down
C. How Wander Turned Wonder D. How a Couple Developed Wanderlust
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了Tobie Spears夫妇在旅行中帮助危地马拉当地村民学习技能、实现自给自足,并最终创立非营利组织BeHumanitarian的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“What greeted them was nothing short of breathtaking: verdant jungles (丛林), crystal lakes, wide rivers... (迎接他们的景象令人叹为观止:翠绿的丛林、水晶般的湖泊、宽阔的河流……)”可知,吸引Spears和丈夫的是该地区迷人的自然风光。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““We didn’t want to give them a few things and leave,” she said.“We wanted to help, and they were able to manage it on their own.” So they started teaching, focusing on income opportunity. The couple taught skills like how to use a sewing machine, how to create a more productive garden, and how to charge for services and manage resources. (“我们不想给他们一些东西就离开,”她说。“我们想提供帮助,而他们能够自己管理。”于是,他们开始教学,重点放在创收机会上。这对夫妇传授了诸如如何使用缝纫机、如何建造更高产的花园、以及如何为服务收费和管理资源等技能。)”可知,Spears和丈夫通过帮助他们自给自足来提供帮助。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“With the formalization of the nonprofit, the impact outgrew even their own expectations, more sponsors and volunteers joining the initiative. (随着这个非营利组织的正式成立,其影响力甚至超出了他们自己的预期,更多的赞助商和志愿者加入了这项倡议)”可推知,人们支持BeHumanitarian。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了Tobie Spears夫妇在旅行中帮助危地马拉当地村民学习技能、实现自给自足,并最终创立非营利组织BeHumanitarian的故事。故C项“How Wander Turned Wonder (一场漫游,成就一份美好善举)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
C
“We all know that when there’s an earthquake or a tsunami, the first thing that goes down is the power line. When it’s at night, we’re not going to wait until the next morning to rescue survivors.” said Nitin Sanket, assistant professor of robotics engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. “So we started looking at nature. Is there a creature in the world which can actually do this?”
Sanket and his students found their answer in bats and the winged mammal’s remarkable ability to echolocate, or find their way via reflected sound. They’re developing air robots that can be flown where and when current drones can’t operate.
Sanket’s drone fits in the palm of his hand, and is made mostly from inexpensive hobby-grade materials and can operate in the dark. A small ultrasonic (超声的) sensor, not unlike those used in automatic faucets (龙头) in public restrooms, copies bat behavior, sending out a pulse (脉冲) of high-frequency sound and using the echo to detect obstacles in its path.
During a recent demonstration, a student used a remote control to launch the drone in a brightly lit room and then again after turning off all but a faintly glowing red light. As it approached a transparent glass wall, the drone repeatedly stopped and backed away, even with the lights off and with fog and fake snow floating in the air.
Yet, the research didn’t always get along well. The researchers realized that the noise of the bat robot disturbed the ultrasound, requiring 3D-printed shells to minimize the disturbance. They also used AI to teach the drone how to filter (过滤) and interpret sound signals.
Still, there’s a long way to go to match bats, which can contract their ear muscles to listen only to certain echoes and can detect something as small as a human hair from several meters away. Sanket said, “We are nowhere close to what nature has achieved, but someday we will be there and these will be useful for application in the wild.”
28. Why did Sanket’s team study bats?
A. For their physical strength. B. For their high flight speed.
C. For their easy accessibility. D. For their navigation skills.
29. What can we learn about the drone from the demonstration?
A. It could even break through glass walls.
B. It performed well regardless of visibility.
C. It required adjustment to avoid obstacles,
D. It needed human help to detect obstacles,
30. What challenge did the researchers encounter during the research?
A. The materials were hardly accessible,
B. The sensor generated too much noise.
C. The AI system failed to process the sound signals.
D. The drone’s operational noise affected its sensor.
31. What does Sanket think of their present achievement?
A. It needs further development. B. It’s unrealistic for practical use.
C. It is ready for widespread use. D. It has already outperformed bats.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了桑凯特团队受蝙蝠启发研发可在黑暗中飞行的无人机及面临的挑战。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Sanket’s drone fits in the palm of his hand, and is made mostly from inexpensive hobby-grade materials and can operate in the dark. A small ultrasonic (超声的) sensor, not unlike those used in automatic faucets (龙头) in public restrooms, copies bat behavior, sending out a pulse (脉冲) of high-frequency sound and using the echo to detect obstacles in its path.(桑凯特的无人机可以放在他的手掌中,主要由便宜的业余级材料制成,可以在黑暗中运行。一个小型超声波传感器,与公共卫生间自动水龙头中使用的传感器类似,模仿蝙蝠的行为,发出高频声脉冲,并利用回声探测路径中的障碍物。)”可知,桑凯特的团队研究蝙蝠是为了它们的导航技能。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“During a recent demonstration, a student used a remote control to launch the drone in a brightly lit room and then again after turning off all but a faintly glowing red light. As it approached a transparent glass wall, the drone repeatedly stopped and backed away, even with the lights off and with fog and fake snow floating in the air.(在最近的一次演示中,一名学生用遥控器在一个光线明亮的房间里发射无人机,然后在关掉所有灯,只留一盏微弱的红灯后再次发射。当它接近一堵透明的玻璃墙时,无人机反复停下并后退,即使是在灯光熄灭、空气中弥漫着雾气和假雪的情况下。)”可知,从演示中我们可以了解到无人机无论能见度如何都表现良好。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“Yet, the research didn’t always get along well. The researchers realized that the noise of the bat robot disturbed the ultrasound, requiring 3D-printed shells to minimize the disturbance.(然而,研究并不总是一帆风顺。研究人员意识到,蝙蝠机器人的噪音干扰了超声波,需要3D打印外壳来尽量减少干扰。)”可知,研究人员在研究过程中遇到的挑战是无人机的操作噪音影响了它的传感器。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, there’s a long way to go to match bats, which can contract their ear muscles to listen only to certain echoes and can detect something as small as a human hair from several meters away. Sanket said, “We are nowhere close to what nature has achieved, but someday we will be there and these will be useful for application in the wild.”(尽管如此,要赶上蝙蝠还有很长的路要走,蝙蝠可以收缩耳部肌肉,只听特定的回声,并且可以从几米外探测到像人类头发一样小的东西。桑凯特说:“我们离大自然所取得的成就还差得很远,但总有一天我们会达到那个水平,这些将对野外应用有用。”)”可知,桑凯特认为他们目前的成就需要进一步发展。
D
New research suggests that attention does not remain steady. Instead, it fluctuates (波动) in a rapid cycle, shifting focus about seven to ten times per second. This constant sampling of the environment may have helped humans survive. For our ancestors who had to continue to monitor the environment for attackers while searching for food, this was beneficial.
Ian Fiebelkorn, assistant professor of Neuroscience at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of Rochester, said,“In today’s world, with laptops open in front of us and a smartphone nearby, rhythmically occurring windows for beneficial attentional shifts might also work against us. That is, rhythmically occurring windows for attentional shifts are also associated with increased susceptibility to distracting information.”
To investigate the subtle shifts in attention, Zach Redding, the first author of the study,recorded brain activity using an electroencephalogram (EEG). In the experiment, 40participants focused on a dim gray square positioned at the center of a computer screen. At the same time, colored dots appeared as distractions.
The EEG data revealed repeating patterns in brain activity that predicted when attention was more likely to move toward a distractor. These cycles occurred roughly seven to ten times per second. They also lined up with alternating (交替的) periods in which participants were better or worse at noticing the central target. When noticing performance dropped, participants were more easily distracted.
The findings may help researchers better understand attention-related conditions such asADHD (注意缺陷障碍). Although the study did not directly examine people with ADHD, it offers clues about how differences in these brain rhythms could influence focus and distractibility.
“Our research shows that the typical brain rhythmically alternates between states that promote either increased processing at the present focus of attention or an increased likelihood of shifting attentional resources elsewhere,” said Fiebelkorn.“It could be that the brains of people with ADHD do not alternate between these states as often, resulting in a loss of cognitive flexibility.”
32. How did attention fluctuations benefit ancient humans?
A. They helped them discover food easily.
B. They enabled them to watch for dangers.
C. They made them focus on things better.
D. They adapted them to the environment.
33. What does the underlined word “susceptibility” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Defenselessness. B. Resistance. C. Dedication. D. Adaptation.
34. What did the EEG results show?
A. Participants ignored the central target.
B. Distracting dots had no influence at all.
C. Brain waves remained unchanged steadily.
D. Distraction followed brain rhythm changes.
35. What is Fiebelkorn’s explanation about people with ADHD?
A. They have stronger cognitive flexibility.
B. They focus better than ordinary people.
C. Their brain states switch less regularly.
D. Their brain rhythms work much faster.
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了注意力以每秒约7到10次的频率快速波动循环,这种波动对古代人类有生存优势,但在现代环境中可能导致更容易分心。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“New research suggests that attention does not remain steady. Instead, it fluctuates (波动) in a rapid cycle, shifting focus about seven to ten times per second. This constant sampling of the environment may have helped humans survive. For our ancestors who had to continue to monitor the environment for attackers while searching for food, this was beneficial. (新研究表明,注意力并非保持稳定不变。相反,它以快速的周期波动,大约每秒切换焦点七到十次。这种对环境持续采样的能力,可能有助于人类的生存。对于我们那些必须在寻找食物的同时持续监视环境中攻击者的祖先来说,这是有益的。)”可知,注意力的波动使古代人类能够警惕危险。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“In today’s world, with laptops open in front of us and a smartphone nearby, rhythmically occurring windows for beneficial attentional shifts might also work against us. (在当今世界,面前打开着笔记本电脑,身边放着智能手机,有节奏出现的有利注意力转移窗口也可能对我们不利,)”和划线词所在句“That is, rhythmically occurring windows for attentional shifts are also associated with increased susceptibility to distracting information. (也就是说,有节奏出现的注意力转移窗口也与对分心信息的susceptibility增加有关。)”可知,这种机制在现代环境中会导致人们更容易被分心信息干扰。因此,susceptibility意为“易受影响的状态”,与“Defenselessness”意思相近。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The EEG data revealed repeating patterns in brain activity that predicted when attention was more likely to move toward a distractor. These cycles occurred roughly seven to ten times per second. They also lined up with alternating (交替的) periods in which participants were better or worse at noticing the central target. When noticing performance dropped, participants were more easily distracted. (脑电图数据揭示了大脑活动中重复出现的模式,这些模式可以预测注意力何时更可能转向干扰物。这些周期大约每秒发生七到十次。它们也与参与者对中央目标的察觉能力时好时坏的交替周期相吻合。当察觉能力下降时,参与者更容易分心。)”可知,脑电图结果显示分心跟随大脑节律变化。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Fiebelkorn的话“Our research shows that the typical brain rhythmically alternates between states that promote either increased processing at the present focus of attention or an increased likelihood of shifting attentional resources elsewhere (我们的研究表明,典型的大脑会节律性地在两种状态之间交替:一种状态促进对当前注意力焦点的加强处理,另一种状态则增加将注意力资源转移到别处的可能性)”和“It could be that the brains of people with ADHD do not alternate between these states as often, resulting in a loss of cognitive flexibility. (可能是ADHD患者的大脑没有那么频繁地在这些状态之间交替,导致认知灵活性丧失。)”可知,Fiebelkorn对ADHD患者的解释是他们的脑部状态切换不够规律。

Nowadays group chats have exploded in popularity because of their informality. That also creates its own challenges, though. Here are some principles of digital etiquette (礼仪) to help us avoid them.
Think before messaging
___36___ . So it helps to think about how the recipients might be affected by your message.That means, for example, not wasting other members' time by asking questions that could be easily found by doing an online search or searching through the previous posts.___37___. People don't appreciate using up their phone memory or burning through their mobile data on useless stuff.
___38___
For those created with a specific function, just stick to the task and don't post any more than you need to. On the other hand, some groups are there for entertainment and in that case, more is more. It should be obvious, but don't post personal stuff in a company or business-related chat, and avoid posting work-related material in a group with friends or family.
Consider the size of the group
There's often someone who feels the need to type out a reply to every post, even if it's just to say “thanks”.___39___ . We ought to consider how many people are in the chat. If there are three of you in the group, a response is almost expected. In a group of fifty or more, however, it is practically a criminal offense.
Keep it clean and decent
This is an especially important point when it comes to work communications. Those group chat platforms feel less formal than email, but don't forget to follow the same guidelines as you do with other company communications. Assume anything messaged can be shared with others no matter how informal it appears. ___40___ .
A. Analyze the members' interest
B. Less can be more in group chats
C. Remember the aim of the chat group
D. And avoid sending videos or files that are very large
E. Even one slip into improper talk can be career-limiting
F. But doing so in a big group might cause a reply-all storm
G. Etiquette is always based on the idea of care and consideration for others
【答案】36. G 37. D 38. C 39. F 40. E
【解析】
【导语】文章从发消息前三思、牢记群聊宗旨、顾及群人数目、保持言语得体四个方面,介绍了群聊中需要遵守的数字礼仪原则,帮助人们规避相关问题。
【36题详解】
本段小标题为“Think before messaging (发消息前三思)”,下文“So it helps to think about how the recipients might be affected by your message. (因此,考虑你的信息会对接收者产生怎样的影响是很有帮助的。)”强调发消息时要换位思考,选项G“Etiquette is always based on the idea of care and consideration for others. (礼仪的本质是体谅和顾及他人。)”作为段首主旨句,点明礼仪的核心,自然引出下文换位思考的具体做法。
【37题详解】
上文“That means, for example, not wasting other members' time by asking questions that could be easily found by doing an online search or searching through the previous posts.(这意味着,例如,不要浪费其他成员的时间,提出可以通过在线搜索或搜索以前的帖子轻松找到的问题。)”提到不要浪费他人时间,下文“People don't appreciate using up their phone memory or burning through their mobile data on useless stuff. (人们不喜欢把手机内存和移动数据浪费在无用的东西上。)”说明无用内容的弊端,选项D“And avoid sending videos or files that are very large. (并且避免发送过大的视频或文件。)”补充了另一种浪费他人资源的行为。
【38题详解】
下文“For those created with a specific function, just stick to the task and don't post any more than you need to. On the other hand, some groups are there for entertainment and in that case, more is more. (对于那些有特定功能的群聊,只需专注于任务,按需发布内容即可。另一方面,有些群聊是用于娱乐的,在这种情况下,内容越多越好。)”围绕群聊的不同创建目的,给出了不同的发言建议,选项C“Remember the aim of the chat group. (牢记群聊的宗旨。)”作为本段主题句,统领整段内容,精准契合段落主旨。
【39题详解】
上文“There's often someone who feels the need to type out a reply to every post, even if it's just to say “thanks”. (总有一些人觉得每条消息都需要回复,哪怕只是说一句“谢谢”。)”描述了群聊中逐条回复的现象,下文“We ought to consider how many people are in the chat. (我们应该考虑群聊中有多少人。)”强调要根据群规模调整回复方式,选项F“But doing so in a big group might cause a reply-all storm. (但在大群里这样做可能会引发刷屏式回复。)”转折指出逐条回复在大群中的弊端。
【40题详解】
本段小标题为“Keep it clean and decent (保持言语干净得体)”,上文“Assume anything messaged can be shared with others no matter how informal it appears. (无论群聊氛围看起来多么随意,都要假设群聊中的任何内容都可能被转发给其他人。)”强调职场群聊言行需谨慎,选项E“Even one slip into improper talk can be career-limiting. (哪怕一次不当言论也可能影响职业发展。)”承接上文,进一步点明恪守言语得体的重要性。

【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:今年选择中国作为主题,是因为它是世界上生物多样性最丰富的国家之一,拥有超过1700种兰花。此处作伴随状语,possess(拥有)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语it(指代China)之间是主动关系,应用现在分词表主动。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该节日旨在向游客同时讲述两个交织的故事——生物多样性和植根于其中的文化传统。此处作后置定语,root(使根植)用非谓语形式,与其逻辑主语traditions之间是被动关系,即“传统被根植于生物多样性中”,应用过去分词表被动。

【62题详解】
考查副词。句意:在开幕招待会上,一位中国驻英国大使说:“兰花在两国都受到珍视,在中国文化中,兰花传统上是‘花中四君子’之一,象征着正直、坚韧和高尚的品格。”提示词修饰介词短语among the ‘Four Gentlemen...’,应用副词形式traditionally作状语,意为“传统上”。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同样为此次活动做出贡献的还有中国水墨画家顾晓兰,她将兰花主题的作品带到了展览中。此处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Gu Xiaolan,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词who引导该从句。
【64题详解】
考查代词。句意:顾说,水墨画是一种由内而外的创作,让作品自己“说话”。此处表示“为它自己”,应用反身代词itself作宾语。

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。
Twenty years ago, it was our first time to travel to the United States as Canadians. Unknowingly, my wife and I made the mistake of arriving in New York City on Saint Patrick’s Day. When our taxi driver picked us up at the airport, he pointed out that no matter what route he took to the hotel, it would be a long drive.
As predicted, we slowed to a crawl (缓慢的速度). It was not much of a problem for us as it was our first visit to the city. Everything was new. We were happy to put our windows down and strained our necks upwards to get the best view of the streets as we made our very slow way.
Thousands of people dressed in green seemed to be making their way in the same direction as us. So our progress almost came to a stop. From somewhere up ahead came the sounds of marching music and the general noise associated with a parade in full progress.
After making no progress at all for about fifteen minutes we decided, in consultation with the driver, that our best way of getting to our hotel would be on foot. The driver didn’t hold out any hope of being able to drive anywhere anytime soon. We settled the fare, collected our luggage, and joined the crowds on the parade route.
Seizing the handles of our suitcases, we felt a little out of place not wearing green. Calling on my uncanny (难以解释的) sense of direction, we walked south, the same general direction as most of the crowd. We were carried along with the crowd until the parade was coming to an end and the people were beginning to make their way home. At last, I had absolutely no idea where we were, much less where our hotel was located.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
We had to admit we were lost. My wife and I stood panicky on a strange street corner with our luggage. Just then, two young men in green approached, noticing our confusion and offering help. Embarrassed, we explained our predicament — we’d been walking the wrong way to our hotel. Without hesitation, they picked up our suitcases and walked us there, chatting about their upcoming parade and our travel plans along the way. By the time we reached the hotel, we felt like we’d made new friends.
The two young men’s kindness went further than helping us get to the hotel. After ensuring we checked in smoothly, they offered to show us around the next day. Stunned by their enthusiasm, we agreed. Over the following two days, they took us to local diners, peaceful parks, and a rooftop with a stunning skyline view. Their warmth turned our stressful start into an unforgettable adventure. When we said goodbye, we promised to stay in touch. They joked that next time we should visit on a quieter day — unless we wanted to join their parade. We laughed, already looking forward to our return.
