Whether you are writing a business email or a long research essay, the dictionary can be a powerful tool to assist you in becoming a better writer in English.
You can use the main A — Z of the dictionary to help you:
·Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol.
·Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries.
·Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms (同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb).
·Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions.
In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text.

When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening.
So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends.
For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke.
As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting.
I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become.
24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate?
A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment.
C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore.
25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London?
A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse.
C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful.
26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time?
A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions.
C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North
C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me
C
On my first day at my current job, I came to work expecting a friendly welcome — but I was met with silence. After a quick introduction to the business manager, I was told where to get my ID and then left to figure the rest out on my own. I clearly remember walking into my first departmental meeting, eager to meet my colleagues, only for the boss to skip over introducing me completely. Not really the type of environment that inspires a feeling of belonging.
The primary loneliness stuck with me. Instead of waiting for the workplace culture to change, I decided to create my own sense of community. I started a lunch group, which grew into a regular coffee hour. I invited new hires to join informal meetups, promoting connections before and after department meetings. Over time, this small, self-made network became my spirit support at work. But what if I hadn’t built that community myself?
Chances are that I would have left the job. Increasingly, researchers are realizing that developing a sense of belonging is critical for workforce stability. Historically, studies on supporting workforce stability have focused on more basic factors like pay, hours, and workload. These are all important qualities that cannot be overlooked. But they are not enough.
You must have heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The theory suggests lower-level needs must be met before you can progress to higher-level needs. At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy, physiological and safety needs must be met. This is where fundamentals like pay, hours, and workplace safety would fall. Just above that is the need for love and belonging. In a workplace, this translates to a sense of connection and feeling like part of the team.
According to Maslow’s theory, it’s impossible to be the best version of ourselves without meeting these fundamental needs. So although, yes, being paid fairly is important, to motivate employees to operate at their highest level, you need to create an environment where people feel they truly matter.
28. What did the writer experience on the first day of his new job?
A. A hearty reception from colleagues. B. Thorough guidance at the workplace.
C. Emotional distance between coworkers. D. Brief training from the business manager.
29. What is the writer’s purpose of starting a lunch group?
A. Establishing a regular break time. B. Building up a shared identity.
C. Passing on the workplace culture. D. Conducting meetings during meals.
30. Why does the writer introduce Maslow’s theory?
A. To describe an ideal working environment. B. To discuss spiritual role in job satisfaction.
C. To suggest an effective management method. D. To explain factors to keeping the workforce.
31. What does the last paragraph imply for a workplace?
A. Basic demands are equal to emotional needs. B. Fair payment is the core of staff motivation.
C. A culture of belonging develops staff’s potential. D. Basic needs make the best versions of staff.
D
Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.
The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan.
People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %.
Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16–24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control.
The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain.
32. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1?
A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics.
C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation
33. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study?
A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades.
B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress.
C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily.
D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk.
34. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Evaluated. B. Created C. Published. D. Collected.
35. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”?
A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly.
C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly.
E
What if you could meet most of your daily needs-shopping, work, education, healthcare-within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home? This is the exciting vision of the “15-minute city”, an urban planning concept that gained global attention years ago. However, putting it into practice has sparked unexpected and fierce opposition.
The concept was popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris and based on the research of French scholar Carlos Moreno. It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking. Advocates argue that this model addresses multiple crises all at the same time: climate change, social isolation, and public health.
Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.
The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.
The situation mirrors past urban conflicts. For instance, many people opposed creating walking-only streets in city centers decades ago, but now, such areas are mostly loved and valued. The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.
36. What can we learn about “chronic-urbanism” in paragraph 2?
A. It gives more space to people. B. It aims to expand road networks.
C. It focuses on car development. D. It was created by Carlos Moreno.
37. What do the opponents think of the 15-minute city?
A. Traffic-slowing. B. Money-wasting. C. Freedom-limiting. D. Tech-demanding.
38. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The challenge of a less car-centered life. B. The significance of private cars.
C. The public’s reactions to a new policy. D. The definition of car dependency.
39. What does the experts’ conclusion imply in the last paragraph?
A. Public opinions are too hard to change. B. Sustainable transition is the top priority.
C. Communication matters as much as design. D. Planning should send an innovative message.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
How to express hurt feelings
Expressing hurt feelings can be challenging, especially for teenagers. ____40____ Luckily, there are some simple techniques on how to effectively express your hurt feelings.
____41____ Before you approach someone to tell them that they’ve hurt your feelings, identify exactly why you feel hurt. It’s important to give a specific reason for your hurt feelings so that you can express this to the person who hurt you. If you’re unsure about why you feel hurt, review what happened in your mind or write about it.
Take a few deep breaths and try to relax. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by your emotions, take a few deep breaths in and out before speaking with the persons. ____42____ You may also find it hard to communicate what you’re feeling if you are overcome with emotions. If taking deep breaths doesn’t seem to help, try taking a brisk walk or doing push-ups. This will help to release endorphins (内啡肽) and clear your head.
Use “I” statements to communicate what you’re feeling. ____43____ Instead, express your feelings by using “I” rather than “you”. Explain the issue in an objective way. This will be less likely to put the person on the defensive. For example, you might say, “I felt hurt that I didn’t get a call to tell me you couldn’t make it yesterday.”
Listen carefully to the other person’s response. After you’ve expressed your hurt feelings, give the other person a chance to respond. Listen to what they have to say with your full attention. They might not have realized they hurt you, or they may have a different view on the situation. ____44____
A. Be specific in your description.
B. Think about what you’re feeling and why.
C. Avoid blaming the person for how you feel
D. You can express your feelings in a more reasonable way.
E. Having an open dialogue can lead to a better understanding and resolution
F. However, it’s important to communicate to maintain your emotional well-being.
G. Talking to them when you’re feeling angry, stressed, or tearful can make matters worse.

A
Whether you are writing a business email or a long research essay, the dictionary can be a powerful tool to assist you in becoming a better writer in English.
You can use the main A — Z of the dictionary to help you:
·Choose your words carefully. Many words in English have similar or related meanings, but they are used in different contexts or situations. Look carefully at the example sentences provided in the entries for words you want to use. If you need academic vocabulary, look for the AW symbol.
·Combine words naturally and effectively. In English, certain pairs of words go together and sound natural to native speakers (for example, heavy rain) — and others do not (strong rain). Information on which words can be paired with one another can be found in the example sentences in the dictionary entries.
·Become more flexible. Rather than repeating the same word or phrase many times in your work, try to find other ways to express your ideas. Look for SYN symbol to find synonyms (同义词) and also study the synonym notes. Look for word families and try using words in the same family that are different parts of speech (e.g. different, adjective and differ, verb).
·Edit and check your work. You can use your dictionary to check any problem areas such as spelling, parts of speech, irregular forms, grammar, phrasal verbs, and prepositions.
In the following sections you will find examples of essays and practical types of writing that you can use as models for your own work. You will also find advice on planning, organizing and writing each type of text.

B
When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening.
So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends.
For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke.
As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting.
I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become.
24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate?
A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment.
C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore.
25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London?
A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse.
C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful.
26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time?
A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions.
C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North
C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡Ramsgate去伦敦打拼,历经挑战后回到家乡,重新认识并爱上家乡的故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. (当我年轻的时候,我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特,这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇。它可能会让人觉得很小:同样的面孔出现在同样的地方,一个新的咖啡馆或画廊常常会遭到质疑。显然,人们坚持认为生活本该如此。但对于一个渴望看到更多的青少年来说,这种缺乏好奇心是令人沮丧的)”可知,作者想要离开拉姆斯盖特是因为这个地方无法满足他探索的欲望。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. (但现实是残酷的。在杂志和报纸工作之前,我努力为各种日报撰稿)”和第三段中“In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. (在一顿顿分食小碟菜的聚餐间隙,我发现自己陷入了一场永无止境的激烈竞争,要更快地行动,需要赚更多的钱,只是为了跟上节奏。伦敦的房租压力很大,公寓很小,但拥有一个公寓的梦想感觉就像一个残酷的玩笑)”可知,作者在伦敦的生活充满了挑战。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. (当我年轻的时候,我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特,这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇)”和第四段“As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive.

Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. (随着年龄的增长,回到萨尼特岛的旅行让我看清了自己留下的东西。主要是大海。宽阔的黄色沙滩,甚至空气中盐的味道,在童年时很普通,突然变得吸引人。但我也开始怀念小镇生活的节奏:向街上的人挥手,注意谁的花园杂草丛生,甚至在我曾经不屑一顾的酒吧里也能找到魅力。更重要的是,我曾经匆匆离开的地方,现在别人却急着来。艺术家、创意人士和科技人员因为伦敦的高房价而离开,纷纷涌向萨尼特岛,带来了新的想法和动力。现在,当我回到家乡时,我感到既自豪又有些惊讶:我曾经以为自己早已超越、已经不再适合的地方,却有了意想不到的改头换面)”可知,作者对Thanet的情感随着时间的推移从最初的排斥转变为后来的重新连接和热爱。故选C项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合最后一段中“Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. (每一次到访都提醒我,地方和人一样,可以在不失去本质的情况下成长。我已经不再仅仅把萨尼特岛当作我离开的家;它现在是它继续成为的地方)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡去伦敦打拼,历经挑战后回到家乡,重新认识并爱上家乡的故事,表达了作者对家乡和自身成长的深刻感悟。故D项“A Growing Place, a Growing Me(一个成长的地方,一个成长的我)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。故选D项。
C
On my first day at my current job, I came to work expecting a friendly welcome — but I was met with silence. After a quick introduction to the business manager, I was told where to get my ID and then left to figure the rest out on my own. I clearly remember walking into my first departmental meeting, eager to meet my colleagues, only for the boss to skip over introducing me completely. Not really the type of environment that inspires a feeling of belonging.
The primary loneliness stuck with me. Instead of waiting for the workplace culture to change, I decided to create my own sense of community. I started a lunch group, which grew into a regular coffee hour. I invited new hires to join informal meetups, promoting connections before and after department meetings. Over time, this small, self-made network became my spirit support at work. But what if I hadn’t built that community myself?
Chances are that I would have left the job. Increasingly, researchers are realizing that developing a sense of belonging is critical for workforce stability. Historically, studies on supporting workforce stability have focused on more basic factors like pay, hours, and workload. These are all important qualities that cannot be overlooked. But they are not enough.
You must have heard of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The theory suggests lower-level needs must be met before you can progress to higher-level needs. At the base of Maslow’s hierarchy, physiological and safety needs must be met. This is where fundamentals like pay, hours, and workplace safety would fall. Just above that is the need for love and belonging. In a workplace, this translates to a sense of connection and feeling like part of the team.
According to Maslow’s theory, it’s impossible to be the best version of ourselves without meeting these fundamental needs. So although, yes, being paid fairly is important, to motivate employees to operate at their highest level, you need to create an environment where people feel they truly matter.
28. What did the writer experience on the first day of his new job?
A. A hearty reception from colleagues. B. Thorough guidance at the workplace.
C. Emotional distance between coworkers. D. Brief training from the business manager.
29. What is the writer’s purpose of starting a lunch group?
A. Establishing a regular break time. B. Building up a shared identity.
C. Passing on the workplace culture. D. Conducting meetings during meals.
30. Why does the writer introduce Maslow’s theory?
A. To describe an ideal working environment. B. To discuss spiritual role in job satisfaction.
C. To suggest an effective management method. D. To explain factors to keeping the workforce.
31. What does the last paragraph imply for a workplace?
A. Basic demands are equal to emotional needs. B. Fair payment is the core of staff motivation.
C. A culture of belonging develops staff’s potential. D. Basic needs make the best versions of staff.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,作者讲述自己初入职场时遭遇同事间情感冷漠,缺乏归属感。为改变这一状况,作者主动创建交流小组,构建了自己的职场社交圈。文章通过这一经历,引入马斯洛需求层次理论,强调在工作场所,满足员工归属感等高层次需求对维持员工稳定性、激发员工最大潜能的重要性。

Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.
The term was introduced in 2011 by researcher David Levy from the University of Washington. It describes a mental state where attention wanders, and thoughts jump quickly from one topic to another — just like popcorn popping rapidly in a hot pan.
People with popcorn brain find it hard to concentrate or maintain a clear line of thinking. University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %.
Studies show that digital technology, especially social media, worsens this condition. Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. For instance, people in America aged 16–24 averaged 7 hours 3 minutes online per day, equaling roughly 17 years of adult life. Such constant digital exposure trains the brain to prefer short bursts of information. As a result, focusing on one task becomes harder. Information overload also affects memory, decision-making, and emotional control.
The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. Building a structured daily routine is also advised: individuals can begin by measuring their current focus duration, then set realistic goals and stick to a fixed schedule for important tasks. This consistent practice strengthens habits and prepares your mind and body to focus on the task for a longer period without getting popcorn brain.
32. How does the author present the issue in paragraph 1?
A. By defining a concept. B. By providing statistics.
C. By giving an example. D. By introducing a presentation
33. What can be inferred from the data in Gloria Mark’s study?
A. Attention on a task dropped half in decades.
B. Frequent switching may increase mental stress.
C. People’s average screen time decreased steadily.
D. Shortened screen time may lead to higher heart disease risk.
34. What does the underlined word “pooled” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Evaluated. B. Created C. Published. D. Collected.
35. According to the passage, how can we prevent getting “popcorn brain”?
A. Setting aside no-device areas. B. Changing daily schedules flexibly.
C. Using more advanced digital devices. D. Checking essential notification regularly.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【解析】

推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine you are preparing a class presentation when you suddenly remember you forgot to feed the cat. You grab your phone to text your mum, but an ad jumps out: “50 % off your favourite brand!” One tap leads to another; ten minutes later you have looked through reviews, filled a cart and almost missed your own slide. This phenomenon is called “popcorn (爆米花) brain”.(想象一下,你正在准备课堂展示,突然想起自己忘了喂猫。你拿起手机想给妈妈发消息,一条广告却弹了出来:“你最爱的品牌,五折优惠!” 你点进去之后就一发不可收拾,十分钟后,你已经看完了各种评论、装满了购物车,差点错过自己的展示环节。这种现象被称为 “爆米花大脑”。)”可知,作者通过设想一个具体的生活场景举例,引出“爆米花大脑”这一话题。故选C项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“University of California Researcher Gloria Mark tracked 2,000 American office workers and students in her two-decade study on attention with silent screen recorders and heart-rate belts. In 2004 people stayed on one task for 2.5 minutes on average; by 2020 the figure had fallen to 47 seconds. Heart-rate data showed that every extra switch raised a stress hormone (荷尔蒙) by about 7 %. (加州大学研究员格洛丽亚・马克,借助静音屏幕记录仪和心率监测带,对 2000 名美国上班族与学生开展了一项为期 20 年的注意力相关研究。2004 年,人们专注于单一任务的平均时长为 2.5 分钟;到 2020 年,这一数字降至 47 秒。心率数据显示,每多切换一次任务,压力荷尔蒙的水平就会上升约 7%。)”可知,频繁切换任务可能会增加精神压力。故选B项。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Data Reportal’s 2024 report pooled screen-time records from 1.3 million users in 40 countries and found further proof. (Data Reportal 2024年的报告____了来自40个国家130万用户的屏幕使用时长记录,并找到了进一步的证据。)”可知,报告要获取证据,需要先收集大量用户的相关数据。因此“pooled”的意思应为“收集”。故选D项。

细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The cure, tested in follow-up trials, is brief: set clear tech boundaries. Recommended strategies include limiting daily screen time, turning off non-essential notification, and creating tech-free periods or spaces. (后续试验验证的解决办法很简单:设定明确的科技使用界限。推荐的策略包括限制每日屏幕使用时长、关闭非必要通知,以及设置无科技产品的时段或区域。)”可知,设置无设备区域可以预防“爆米花大脑”。故选A项。

What if you could meet most of your daily needs-shopping, work, education, healthcare-within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from your home? This is the exciting vision of the “15-minute city”, an urban planning concept that gained global attention years ago. However, putting it into practice has sparked unexpected and fierce opposition.
The concept was popularized by Mayor Anne Hidalgo of Paris and based on the research of French scholar Carlos Moreno. It suggests a move from city planning centered mainly on cars to one focused on “chronic-urbanism”. The goal is to return urban space to people, with more parks and streets for walking. Advocates argue that this model addresses multiple crises all at the same time: climate change, social isolation, and public health.
Despite its apparent benefits, opponents have misrepresented the idea online, framing it as a secret government plan to control people’s free movement. While these claims are baseless, they have gained support, influencing public opinion and making it harder for cities like Oxford and Melbourne to carry out the concept.
The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car. For decades, the car has symbolized personal freedom and status. Any policy that seems to reduce car use, even if it aims to enhance overall quality of life, can make people feel emotionally upset. This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.
The situation mirrors past urban conflicts. For instance, many people opposed creating walking-only streets in city centers decades ago, but now, such areas are mostly loved and valued. The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.
36. What can we learn about “chronic-urbanism” in paragraph 2?
A. It gives more space to people. B. It aims to expand road networks.
C. It focuses on car development. D. It was created by Carlos Moreno.
37. What do the opponents think of the 15-minute city?
A. Traffic-slowing. B. Money-wasting. C. Freedom-limiting. D. Tech-demanding.
38. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The challenge of a less car-centered life. B. The significance of private cars.
C. The public’s reactions to a new policy. D. The definition of car dependency.
39. What does the experts’ conclusion imply in the last paragraph?
A. Public opinions are too hard to change. B. Sustainable transition is the top priority.
C. Communication matters as much as design. D. Planning should send an innovative message.
【答案】36. A 37. C 38. A 39. C

【38题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The real issue, however, goes deeper than misinformation. It points to a fundamental problem in urban innovation: the difficulty of imagining a life less dependent on the private car.

This reflects what transport experts call “car dependency”, a cultural and deep-rooted habit that is hard to break.(然而,真正的问题远不止是信息传播不准确这么简单。它揭示了城市创新中一个根本性的难题:难以想象一种不再过度依赖私家车的生活方式。数十年来,汽车一直象征着个人自由和地位。任何看似减少汽车使用量的政策,即便其目的是提升整体生活质量,也会让人们产生情绪上的不适。这反映了交通专家所说的“对汽车的依赖”,这是一种根深蒂固的文化习惯,很难改变)”可知,本段主要讲了一种少依赖汽车的生活方式所带来的挑战。故选A。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The experts of a recent study on sustainable transition conclude that the battle for the 15-minute city is not just about planning; it’s about messaging. Success depends not only on smart design but also on effectively conveying its vision of a more sustainable and human urban future.(最近一项关于可持续转型的研究专家得出结论:这场关于打造“15分钟城市”的竞争不仅关乎规划,还关乎宣传策略。成功的关键不仅在于巧妙的设计,还在于有效地传达其对于更可持续、更人性化城市未来的愿景)”可知,最后一段专家们的结论意味着交流与设计同样重要。故选C。

【78题详解】
考查时态语态。句意:在短短六个月内,她便被任命为首席住院医师,而这个职位通常需要四年时间才能获得。主语she与谓语name“任命”构成被动关系,且发生在过去用一般过去时的被动语态,主语为第三人称单数,be动词用was。
【79题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在短短六个月内,她便被任命为首席住院医师,而这个职位通常需要四年时间才能获得。句型...takes/took time to do sth.表示“花费时间做某事”。
【80题详解】

【82题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:节日正变得越来越商业化,商家们也纷纷利用这些庆祝活动谋取利益。此处构成with的复合结构,take与businesses构成主动关系,故用现在分词作宾补。
【83题详解】
考查it用法。句意:在线购物网站和社交媒体应用程序使公众更容易为他们所爱的人在礼物上花更多的钱。此处为make it + adj. + to do固定句型,it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的动词不定式。
【84题详解】
