第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever looked at words and pictures in your textbook and let your imagination fly? This spring, textbooks are no longer just flat pages. Knowledge is stepping out of the page and into real life.
A new documentary, Museums in the Textbook, produced by China Media Group, began airing on CCTV-10 on Feb 25. Each episode starts with a lesson from Chinese, history, music, or art textbooks. A special team including scholars, teachers, museum experts and culture lovers visits many famous museums. It helps students connect textbook learning to real things in museums.
“Textbooks include many cultural relics, but you can’t find them all in one museum,” said chief director Bu Yalin. She explained that the team studies each lesson carefully instead of simply matching each object on the book pages. “We put ourselves back in our school days and asked what truly interested us but was not fully explained in the textbook,” Bu said. They dug deep into one key idea, connected it with real artifacts and built the whole episode around it.
One episode links the essay A Happy Excursion from a middle school Chinese textbook to dinosaurs in the Natural History Museum of China. The team explored the famous lines about the giant fish kun turning into the giant bird peng. They searched the museum for answers and connected the story to myths. “By connecting myths with things we see in life, we understand culture better and feel it is close to us, not far away,” said director Yang Yang.
Yang hopes students will visit museums after watching the documentary. He said the show offers a “way of thinking” which reminds young people that textbooks are not boring. They are maps that guide us to explore the world.
Here are some must-see museum choices for you:
• Ancient music comes alive — Henan Museum
Must-see: the 8,000-year-old Jiahu bone flute and chime bells from the Spring and Autumn Period.
You’ll gain: a chance to hear ancient sounds and discover the wisdom of early Chinese instruments.
• Grace of the Han Dynasty — Hunan Museum
Must-see: the T-shaped silk painting and the 49-gram silk dress from Mawangdui Han Tombs.
You’ll gain: an insight into the amazing silk skills of the Han Dynasty.

Miao Yuwen, a 15-year-old teenager, has recently impressed the public with her first solo Chinese dulcimer (扬琴) concert held at the Beijing Concert Hall. Accompanied by piano and other musical instruments, she performed a selection of challenging pieces, showing not only excellent skills but also a thoughtful understanding of the traditional instrument.
Miao is now studying at Keystone Academy in Beijing. Her musical journey began at the age of seven, when her future music teacher was starting a children’s dulcimer ensemble. Attracted by the beauty of the instrument at a concert, Miao made up her mind to join the group. Over the following years, consistent practice, local and international performances as well as competitions have helped her form a strong connection with the dulcimer.
Miao speaks highly of the unique charm of the dulcimer. “Its soft, lingering sound touches the heart and offers a more immersive experience than many other instruments,” she says. During her concert, she left enough pauses between movements so that the melody and feelings could unfold naturally. Besides, the dulcimer has great advantages in ensemble performances. “It has allowed me to cooperate with other dulcimer lovers, develop team spirit and build deep friendships,” she adds.
For Miao, playing the dulcimer has become a journey of self-challenge. “Many people choose popular pieces for competitions, but I prefer to try new and difficult works,” she explains. Mastering a difficult piece gives her a strong sense of achievement. Meanwhile, daily practice has taught her the power of repetition. “There is no shortcut to success. We must be patient and practice repeatedly until skills become natural,” she notes. In a time when creativity is highly praised, Miao believes that repetition lays the foundation for real progress.
Despite her young age, Miao has a sharp musical sense, which wins high praise from her teacher. She says, “Rich life experience is not a must to understand a piece. If we catch the changes in emotion and focus on showing its beauty, we can develop our own understanding of the music.”
The dulcimer has also brought Miao chances to visit different countries. Though many foreign listeners knew little about the Chinese dulcimer, they responded with warm and sincere applause. In the Czech Republic, she even communicated with local students who played the Czech dulcimer and kept in touch with them, sharing their common love for the instrument. The concert marks a high point in her eight years of learning. Most details of the performance were designed by Miao herself. Looking ahead, she plans to explore new areas while keeping the dulcimer as a lifelong hobby and close companion.
41. What led Miao Yuwen to start learning the dulcimer?
A. Her parents’ expectation. B. The appeal of a concert.
C. The setup of a school team. D. Her teacher’s strict training.
42. What is special about the dulcimer according to Miao?
A. It is easy for beginners to learn well. B. It sounds best when played independently.
C. It performs excellently in group shows. D. It has a longer history than other instruments.
43. What has Miao gained from her daily practice?
A. The value of repetition. B. The skills of creating music.
C. Much rich life experience. D. The ability to make new friends.
44. What can we infer about Miao from Paragraph 5?
A. She is very experienced in life. B. She has a deep understanding of music.
C. She often challenges her teacher’s ideas. D. She likes easy and smooth music pieces.
45. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Successful Concert at Beijing Concert Hall B. How to Improve Musical Sensitivity
C. Benefits of Playing in an Ensemble D. A Teen’s Lifelong Passion for the Dulcimer
C
There have been many studies on the associations between social isolation (社交孤立), loneliness and the risk of dying early, but some results have been controversial (引起争论的) or mixed. Those conflicting results could be due to research only focusing on a specific group or region. A new study, however, analyzed 90 studies involving more than 2 million adults, who were followed for anywhere from six months to 25 years.
The study showed that people who experienced social isolation had a 32% higher risk of dying early from any cause compared with those who weren’t socially isolated. Participants who reported feeling lonely were 14% more likely to die early than those who did not.
Social isolation, as defined by the new study, occurs when someone has an objective lack of contact with other people and can involve having a limited network or living alone. Loneliness, on the other hand, refers to the subjective pain people feel if there’s a discrepancy between the quality of social relationships they actually have and what they want.
There are several factors that could contribute to social isolation having a stronger effect on early death risk than loneliness, experts say. “People who are lonely but not socially isolated have mental health stress but might be resilient (有复原力的) to it because of their social networks” — even if those networks aren’t entirely what someone wants them to be, said the study’s first author Fan Wang, a professor at Harbin Medical University in China. Having a small social network or little to no contact with the outside world can make someone less likely to receive medical care if they don’t have anyone checking on them, Wang said.
“While this study is important in providing evidence of the harmful effects of social isolation and loneliness, there is a pressing need to move beyond questions concerning the independent effects to a consideration of their joint interplay,” said Wang. This further study would “pave the way for a deeper understanding and effective interventions,” he added.
46. What has the new study found about social isolation?
A. It is common among adults. B. It is closely connected with loneliness.
C. It is a major contributor to early death. D. It does greater harm to people than loneliness.
47. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Balance. B. Relation. C. Difference. D. Discontinuity.
48. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The way to overcome loneliness. B. The importance of social relationships.
C. The factors that contribute to social isolation. D. The definitions of social isolation and loneliness.
49. What helps lonely people reduce the risk of early death?
A. Their social interactions. B. Good mental health care.
C. Strong medical support. D. Their inner strength.
50. What should further research focus on according to Fan Wang?
A. The similarities between social isolation and loneliness.
B. The combined impact of social isolation and loneliness.
C. Other factors contributing to early death.
D. Ways to expand social networks.
D
Calculators did not turn everyone into innumerates; GPS has greatly made people’s daily driving much easier and more convenient. These widely used early technologies are quite likely to be mentioned in any public discussion of AI’s deep cognitive influence on ordinary people. They serve as natural entry points leading to two big thoughtful questions worth thinking over carefully: how might modern AI gradually change the basic way humans learn and think in daily life? And what should business managers and leaders do to deal with such changes properly?
Using calculators at school and GPS on roads are classic typical cases of “cognitive offloading” — the deliberate and clear decision to delegate some regular mental tasks to modern technology. In both common real-life instances, such kind of task delegation is totally worthwhile and practical. Calculators can effectively improve students’ math learning performance, helping them build solid problem-solving skills and steady self-confidence from daily study; GPS means ordinary drivers no longer have to pull over by the road to struggle with complicated paper maps, making getting hopelessly lost in strange places much harder and avoiding heavy bad traffic much easier in daily travel.
But such convenience also brings hidden mental costs. Overusing GPS slowly weakens people’s basic ability to observe the surroundings and think independently. Studies show that the more drivers depend on GPS in their daily trips, the worse their spatial memory and sense of direction will become. Other related research further reveals that pedestrians using smart phone navigation alone often take longer unnecessary routes and make more random stops than those who still stick to traditional paper maps. A similar hidden pattern is also obvious in daily web searches. Using the internet to look up all kinds of information is obviously time-saving and efficient, but there are unavoidable trade-offs behind the convenience. The “Google effect” refers to the common phenomenon that people have poorer memory for useful information they fully expect to find online anytime they need it.
AI clearly amplifies these hidden trade-offs we have seen before. Delegating simple and specific tasks to AI models is often reasonable and acceptable, for they are far better at dealing with many basic tasks than common humans. But AI’s wide functional capabilities, together with easy conversational interfaces and an attractively confident virtual persona, bring a clear prospect less of simple “task delegation” than of total mental dependence. Hence, Wharton’s scholar Steven Shaw officially coined the professional term: “cognitive surrender”.
What can managers do effectively to encourage employees to keep “cognitive resistance” against over-reliance on AI? They can consciously choose to hire employees who truly enjoy independent thinking in daily work. Shaw points out that people with high “cognitive need” are somewhat resistant to the potential risk of cognitive surrender at work. Proper incentive rules and regular feedback mechanisms can also offer great help. Designing regular “AI-free periods” for office work might also be a valuable choice. Moderate cognitive offloading to save time and energy is totally fine. Giving up one’s own thinking ability completely is entirely another serious matter.
51. What is the main purpose of mentioning calculators and GPS in the first paragraph?
A. To show the positive impacts of early technologies on human life.
B. To introduce the topic of AI’s influence on human cognition.
C. To compare the differences between early technologies and AI.
D. To emphasize the importance of technological development.
52. Which of the following is a negative effect of “cognitive offloading” according to the passage?
A. It reduces people’s ability to solve mathematical problems.
B. It makes drivers more likely to get lost in unfamiliar places.
C. It weakens people’s memory for information available online.
D. It increases the time pedestrians spend on finding directions.
53. The phrase “cognitive surrender” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. the act of completely relying on AI instead of thinking independently
B. the process of delegating specific tasks to AI models for efficiency
C. the phenomenon that AI replaces humans in most work scenarios
D. the tendency of humans to doubt the capabilities of AI systems
54. What suggestion does Steven Shaw give to managers to prevent “cognitive surrender”?
A. To limit the use of AI in the workplace. B. To train employees to use AI more effectively.
C. To hire employees with a strong desire to think. D. To establish strict rules for AI application.
55. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. AI is more harmful than beneficial to human cognition.
B. People should avoid using any technology to think for them.
C. Managers play a crucial role in guiding employees’ use of AI.
D. “AI-free periods” are the most effective way to resist cognitive surrender.

阅读表达
The culture of my upbringing could be summed up by “Jewish thinking and British manners”. We were quiet and reserved. In our house, we had all the love but never uttered the three little words out loud.
Whether it was nature or nurture, I grew into a person who was a bit detached, which was good for a career in journalism but not for emotional availability or a joyous life. In truth, I was a practiced escape artist. If you revealed some vulnerable attachment to me, I was good at making meaningful eye contact with your shoes and then excusing myself to keep a vitally important appointment with my dry cleaner.
Life has a way of tenderizing you, though. I’m not an exceptional person, but I am a grower.
I’ve noticed along the way that people want to connect. Above almost any other need, human beings long to have another person look into their faces with love and acceptance. The issue is that we lack practical knowledge about how to give one another the attention we long for. It seems like we have intentionally built a society that gives people little guidance on how to perform the most important activities of life.
I’ve noticed along the way that some people are much better at seeing people than others are. In any collection of humans, there are diminishers and there are illuminators. Diminishers are so into themselves; they make others feel insignificant. They stereotype and label. If they learn one thing about you, they proceed to make a series of assumptions about who you must be. Illuminators, on the other hand, have a persistent curiosity about other people. They have been trained or have trained themselves in the craft of understanding others. They shine the brightness of their care on people and make them feel respected.
A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and disconnected. “Attention,” the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist writes, “is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.”
I wanted to learn these skills for moral reasons. If I can shine positive attention on others, I can help them to blossom. If I see potential in others, they may come to see potential in themselves. True understanding is one of the most generous gifts any of us can give to another.
56. What does the example of “making eye contact with shoes and excusing himself” show about the author’s personality? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word “tenderizing” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? (1 word)
___________________________________________________________________
58. How do people expect to be treated by others according to para. 4? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________
59. What is the essential difference between diminishers and illuminators in the way they treat and judge others? (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________________________________
60. According to the passage, what should we do to get along well with others in daily life? Why? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
Have you ever looked at words and pictures in your textbook and let your imagination fly? This spring, textbooks are no longer just flat pages. Knowledge is stepping out of the page and into real life.
A new documentary, Museums in the Textbook, produced by China Media Group, began airing on CCTV-10 on Feb 25. Each episode starts with a lesson from Chinese, history, music, or art textbooks. A special team including scholars, teachers, museum experts and culture lovers visits many famous museums. It helps students connect textbook learning to real things in museums.
“Textbooks include many cultural relics, but you can’t find them all in one museum,” said chief director Bu Yalin. She explained that the team studies each lesson carefully instead of simply matching each object on the book pages. “We put ourselves back in our school days and asked what truly interested us but was not fully explained in the textbook,” Bu said. They dug deep into one key idea, connected it with real artifacts and built the whole episode around it.
One episode links the essay A Happy Excursion from a middle school Chinese textbook to dinosaurs in the Natural History Museum of China. The team explored the famous lines about the giant fish kun turning into the giant bird peng. They searched the museum for answers and connected the story to myths. “By connecting myths with things we see in life, we understand culture better and feel it is close to us, not far away,” said director Yang Yang.
Yang hopes students will visit museums after watching the documentary. He said the show offers a “way of thinking” which reminds young people that textbooks are not boring. They are maps that guide us to explore the world.
Here are some must-see museum choices for you:
• Ancient music comes alive — Henan Museum
Must-see: the 8,000-year-old Jiahu bone flute and chime bells from the Spring and Autumn Period.
You’ll gain: a chance to hear ancient sounds and discover the wisdom of early Chinese instruments.

Miao Yuwen, a 15-year-old teenager, has recently impressed the public with her first solo Chinese dulcimer (扬琴) concert held at the Beijing Concert Hall. Accompanied by piano and other musical instruments, she performed a selection of challenging pieces, showing not only excellent skills but also a thoughtful understanding of the traditional instrument.
Miao is now studying at Keystone Academy in Beijing. Her musical journey began at the age of seven, when her future music teacher was starting a children’s dulcimer ensemble. Attracted by the beauty of the instrument at a concert, Miao made up her mind to join the group. Over the following years, consistent practice, local and international performances as well as competitions have helped her form a strong connection with the dulcimer.
Miao speaks highly of the unique charm of the dulcimer. “Its soft, lingering sound touches the heart and offers a more immersive experience than many other instruments,” she says. During her concert, she left enough pauses between movements so that the melody and feelings could unfold naturally. Besides, the dulcimer has great advantages in ensemble performances. “It has allowed me to cooperate with other dulcimer lovers, develop team spirit and build deep friendships,” she adds.
For Miao, playing the dulcimer has become a journey of self-challenge. “Many people choose popular pieces for competitions, but I prefer to try new and difficult works,” she explains. Mastering a difficult piece gives her a strong sense of achievement. Meanwhile, daily practice has taught her the power of repetition. “There is no shortcut to success. We must be patient and practice repeatedly until skills become natural,” she notes. In a time when creativity is highly praised, Miao believes that repetition lays the foundation for real progress.
Despite her young age, Miao has a sharp musical sense, which wins high praise from her teacher. She says, “Rich life experience is not a must to understand a piece. If we catch the changes in emotion and focus on showing its beauty, we can develop our own understanding of the music.”
The dulcimer has also brought Miao chances to visit different countries. Though many foreign listeners knew little about the Chinese dulcimer, they responded with warm and sincere applause. In the Czech Republic, she even communicated with local students who played the Czech dulcimer and kept in touch with them, sharing their common love for the instrument. The concert marks a high point in her eight years of learning. Most details of the performance were designed by Miao herself. Looking ahead, she plans to explore new areas while keeping the dulcimer as a lifelong hobby and close companion.
41. What led Miao Yuwen to start learning the dulcimer?
A. Her parents’ expectation. B. The appeal of a concert.
C. The setup of a school team. D. Her teacher’s strict training.
42. What is special about the dulcimer according to Miao?
A. It is easy for beginners to learn well. B. It sounds best when played independently.
C. It performs excellently in group shows. D. It has a longer history than other instruments.
43. What has Miao gained from her daily practice?
A. The value of repetition. B. The skills of creating music.
C. Much rich life experience. D. The ability to make new friends.
44. What can we infer about Miao from Paragraph 5?
A. She is very experienced in life. B. She has a deep understanding of music.
C. She often challenges her teacher’s ideas. D. She likes easy and smooth music pieces.
45. What is the best title for the text?

(这场音乐会标志着她八年学习的一个高点。演出的绝大部分细节都是由苗自己设计的。展望未来,她计划在将扬琴作为终身爱好和亲密伴侣的同时探索新领域)”可知,文章介绍了15岁少年苗聿文从七岁开始学习扬琴,到在北京音乐厅举办个人独奏音乐会的故事,展现了她对扬琴的持久热爱。故D项“A Teen’s Lifelong Passion for the Dulcimer (一位青少年对扬琴的终身热爱)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
C
There have been many studies on the associations between social isolation (社交孤立), loneliness and the risk of dying early, but some results have been controversial (引起争论的) or mixed. Those conflicting results could be due to research only focusing on a specific group or region. A new study, however, analyzed 90 studies involving more than 2 million adults, who were followed for anywhere from six months to 25 years.
The study showed that people who experienced social isolation had a 32% higher risk of dying early from any cause compared with those who weren’t socially isolated. Participants who reported feeling lonely were 14% more likely to die early than those who did not.
Social isolation, as defined by the new study, occurs when someone has an objective lack of contact with other people and can involve having a limited network or living alone. Loneliness, on the other hand, refers to the subjective pain people feel if there’s a discrepancy between the quality of social relationships they actually have and what they want.
There are several factors that could contribute to social isolation having a stronger effect on early death risk than loneliness, experts say. “People who are lonely but not socially isolated have mental health stress but might be resilient (有复原力的) to it because of their social networks” — even if those networks aren’t entirely what someone wants them to be, said the study’s first author Fan Wang, a professor at Harbin Medical University in China. Having a small social network or little to no contact with the outside world can make someone less likely to receive medical care if they don’t have anyone checking on them, Wang said.
“While this study is important in providing evidence of the harmful effects of social isolation and loneliness, there is a pressing need to move beyond questions concerning the independent effects to a consideration of their joint interplay,” said Wang. This further study would “pave the way for a deeper understanding and effective interventions,” he added.
46. What has the new study found about social isolation?
A. It is common among adults. B. It is closely connected with loneliness.
C. It is a major contributor to early death. D. It does greater harm to people than loneliness.
47. What does the underlined word “discrepancy” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Balance. B. Relation. C. Difference. D. Discontinuity.
48. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The way to overcome loneliness. B. The importance of social relationships.
C. The factors that contribute to social isolation. D. The definitions of social isolation and loneliness.
49. What helps lonely people reduce the risk of early death?
A. Their social interactions. B. Good mental health care.
C. Strong medical support. D. Their inner strength.
50. What should further research focus on according to Fan Wang?
A. The similarities between social isolation and loneliness.
B. The combined impact of social isolation and loneliness.
C. Other factors contributing to early death.
D. Ways to expand social networks.
【答案】46. D 47. C 48. D 49. A 50. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一项关于社交孤立和孤独感与早逝风险之间关系的新研究。

(研究表明,与没有社交孤立的人相比,经历社交孤立的人因任何原因早逝的风险高出32%。报告感到孤独的参与者比不孤独的参与者早逝的可能性高14%)”可知,社交孤立导致早逝的风险(32%)高于孤独感(14%),即社交孤立比孤独对人们造成的伤害更大。
【47题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Loneliness, on the other hand, refers to the subjective pain people feel if there’s a discrepancy between the quality of social relationships they actually have and what they want. (另一方面,孤独指的是当人们实际拥有的社会关系质量与他们想要的之间存在discrepancy时所感受到的主观痛苦)”可知,人们感到孤独是因为“实际拥有的”和“想要的”之间存在着“不一致”或“差距”,这种差距导致了痛苦。因此,discrepancy意为“差异;不一致”,与“Difference”同义。
【48题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Social isolation, as defined by the new study, occurs when someone has an objective lack of contact with other people and can involve having a limited network or living alone. Loneliness, on the other hand, refers to the subjective pain people feel if there’s a discrepancy between the quality of social relationships they actually have and what they want. (这项新研究将社交孤立定义为客观上的社交接触缺失,可能表现为社交圈有限或独居。另一方面,孤独指的是当人们实际拥有的社会关系质量与他们想要的之间存在差距时所感受到的主观痛苦)”可知,本段主要介绍了社交孤立和孤独的定义。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“People who are lonely but not socially isolated have mental health stress but might be resilient (有复原力的) to it because of their social networks (那些感到孤独但没有社交孤立的人有心理健康压力,但由于他们的社交网络,他们可能对此具有复原力)”可知,社交网络带来的社交互动让孤独的人具有复原力,能缓解心理健康压力,进而降低早逝风险。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Fan Wang的话“While this study is important in providing evidence of the harmful effects of social isolation and loneliness, there is a pressing need to move beyond questions concerning the independent effects to a consideration of their joint interplay (虽然这项研究在为社交孤立和孤独的有害影响提供证据方面很重要,但迫切需要超越关于它们各自独立影响的问题,转向考虑它们的联合相互作用)”可知,Fan Wang认为进一步的研究应聚焦于社交孤立和孤独的联合影响。

Calculators did not turn everyone into innumerates; GPS has greatly made people’s daily driving much easier and more convenient. These widely used early technologies are quite likely to be mentioned in any public discussion of AI’s deep cognitive influence on ordinary people. They serve as natural entry points leading to two big thoughtful questions worth thinking over carefully: how might modern AI gradually change the basic way humans learn and think in daily life? And what should business managers and leaders do to deal with such changes properly?
Using calculators at school and GPS on roads are classic typical cases of “cognitive offloading” — the deliberate and clear decision to delegate some regular mental tasks to modern technology. In both common real-life instances, such kind of task delegation is totally worthwhile and practical. Calculators can effectively improve students’ math learning performance, helping them build solid problem-solving skills and steady self-confidence from daily study; GPS means ordinary drivers no longer have to pull over by the road to struggle with complicated paper maps, making getting hopelessly lost in strange places much harder and avoiding heavy bad traffic much easier in daily travel.
But such convenience also brings hidden mental costs. Overusing GPS slowly weakens people’s basic ability to observe the surroundings and think independently. Studies show that the more drivers depend on GPS in their daily trips, the worse their spatial memory and sense of direction will become. Other related research further reveals that pedestrians using smart phone navigation alone often take longer unnecessary routes and make more random stops than those who still stick to traditional paper maps. A similar hidden pattern is also obvious in daily web searches. Using the internet to look up all kinds of information is obviously time-saving and efficient, but there are unavoidable trade-offs behind the convenience. The “Google effect” refers to the common phenomenon that people have poorer memory for useful information they fully expect to find online anytime they need it.
AI clearly amplifies these hidden trade-offs we have seen before. Delegating simple and specific tasks to AI models is often reasonable and acceptable, for they are far better at dealing with many basic tasks than common humans. But AI’s wide functional capabilities, together with easy conversational interfaces and an attractively confident virtual persona, bring a clear prospect less of simple “task delegation” than of total mental dependence. Hence, Wharton’s scholar Steven Shaw officially coined the professional term: “cognitive surrender”.
What can managers do effectively to encourage employees to keep “cognitive resistance” against over-reliance on AI? They can consciously choose to hire employees who truly enjoy independent thinking in daily work. Shaw points out that people with high “cognitive need” are somewhat resistant to the potential risk of cognitive surrender at work. Proper incentive rules and regular feedback mechanisms can also offer great help. Designing regular “AI-free periods” for office work might also be a valuable choice. Moderate cognitive offloading to save time and energy is totally fine. Giving up one’s own thinking ability completely is entirely another serious matter.
51. What is the main purpose of mentioning calculators and GPS in the first paragraph?
A. To show the positive impacts of early technologies on human life.
B. To introduce the topic of AI’s influence on human cognition.
C. To compare the differences between early technologies and AI.
D. To emphasize the importance of technological development.
52. Which of the following is a negative effect of “cognitive offloading” according to the passage?
A. It reduces people’s ability to solve mathematical problems.
B. It makes drivers more likely to get lost in unfamiliar places.
C. It weakens people’s memory for information available online.
D. It increases the time pedestrians spend on finding directions.
53. The phrase “cognitive surrender” in Paragraph 4 refers to ________.
A. the act of completely relying on AI instead of thinking independently
B. the process of delegating specific tasks to AI models for efficiency
C. the phenomenon that AI replaces humans in most work scenarios
D. the tendency of humans to doubt the capabilities of AI systems
54. What suggestion does Steven Shaw give to managers to prevent “cognitive surrender”?
A. To limit the use of AI in the workplace. B. To train employees to use AI more effectively.
C. To hire employees with a strong desire to think. D. To establish strict rules for AI application.
55. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. AI is more harmful than beneficial to human cognition.
B. People should avoid using any technology to think for them.
C. Managers play a crucial role in guiding employees’ use of AI.
D. “AI-free periods” are the most effective way to resist cognitive surrender.
【答案】51. B 52. C 53. A 54. C 55. C

【导语】文章以早期科技产物计算器和GPS引入话题,探讨了AI对人类认知的影响,指出介绍了“认知卸载”、“认知投降”等相关概念,并针对企业管理者提出了避免员工过度依赖AI的可行建议。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“These widely used early technologies are quite likely to be mentioned in any public discussion of AI’s deep cognitive influence on ordinary people. They serve as natural entry points leading to two big thoughtful questions worth thinking over carefully: how might modern AI gradually change the basic way humans learn and think in daily life? And what should business managers and leaders do to deal with such changes properly?(这些被广泛使用的早期技术很可能在任何关于人工智能对普通人的深刻认知影响的公开讨论中被提及。它们作为自然的切入点,引出两个值得仔细思考的大问题:现代人工智能将如何逐渐改变人类在日常生活中学习和思考的基本方式?企业管理者和领导者应该做些什么来正确应对这些变化?)”可知,作者列举计算器和全球定位系统是以此为切入点,引出人工智能对人类认知产生影响这一话题。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Using calculators at school and GPS on roads are classic typical cases of “cognitive offloading” — the deliberate and clear decision to delegate some regular mental tasks to modern technology.(在学校使用计算器,在道路上使用GPS,这些都是‘认知卸载’的典型案例——有意而明确地决定将一些常规的脑力任务委托给现代科技。)”以及第三段中“A similar hidden pattern is also obvious in daily web searches. Using the internet to look up all kinds of information is obviously time-saving and efficient, but there are unavoidable trade-offs behind the convenience. The “Google effect” refers to the common phenomenon that people have poorer memory for useful information they fully expect to find online anytime they need it.(类似的隐藏模式在日常网络搜索中也很明显。使用互联网查找各种信息显然是节省时间和高效的,但在方便的背后也有不可避免的权衡。‘谷歌效应’指的是一种普遍现象,即人们对有用信息的记忆力较差,而他们完全可以随时在网上找到有用的信息。)”可知,认知卸载带来的负面影响是会削弱人们对可在线获取的信息的记忆。
【53题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“But AI’s wide functional capabilities, together with easy conversational interfaces and an attractively confident virtual persona, bring a clear prospect less of simple “task delegation” than of total mental dependence. Hence, Wharton’s scholar Steven Shaw officially coined the professional term: “cognitive surrender”.(但人工智能的广泛功能,加上简单的对话界面和迷人的自信的虚拟角色,带来了一个明确的前景,不是简单的‘任务委派’,而是完全的精神依赖。因此,沃顿商学院的学者Steven Shaw正式创造了一个专业术语:‘cognitive surrender’。)”可知,AI普及带来的不是简单的任务委派,而是完全的精神依赖,由此诞生了“cognitive surrender”这个术语,因此cognitive surrender指人们彻底依赖人工智能,放弃独立思考。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“They can consciously choose to hire employees who truly enjoy independent thinking in daily work. Shaw points out that people with high ‘cognitive need’ are somewhat resistant to the potential risk of cognitive surrender at work. Shaw points out that people with high “cognitive need” are somewhat resistant to the potential risk of cognitive surrender at work. (他们可以有意识地选择在日常工作中真正享受独立思考的员工。Shaw指出,‘认知需求’高的人在某种程度上对工作中认知屈服的潜在风险有抵抗力。Shaw指出,有高“认知需求”的人在某种程度上对工作中认知屈服的潜在风险有抵抗力。)”可知,史蒂文・肖(Steven Shaw)建议管理者聘用热爱独立思考、有思考需求的员工。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What can managers do effectively to encourage employees to keep “cognitive resistance” against over-reliance on AI? They can consciously choose to hire employees who truly enjoy independent thinking in daily work. (管理者可以采取哪些有效措施来鼓励员工抵制过度依赖人工智能的‘认知抵抗’呢?他们可以有意识地选择招聘那些在日常工作中真正乐于独立思考的员工。)”以及“Proper incentive rules and regular feedback mechanisms can also offer great help. Designing regular “AI-free periods” for office work might also be a valuable choice. Moderate cognitive offloading to save time and energy is totally fine. (适当的激励制度和定期的反馈机制也可以提供很大的帮助。为办公室工作设计定期的‘无人工智能时段’可能也是一个有价值的选择。适度的认知卸载以节省时间和精力是完全可以的。)”可知,最后一段专门讨论管理者可以采取哪些措施防止员工过度依赖AI,说明管理者在引导员工使用AI方面起着关键作用。

阅读表达
The culture of my upbringing could be summed up by “Jewish thinking and British manners”. We were quiet and reserved. In our house, we had all the love but never uttered the three little words out loud.
Whether it was nature or nurture, I grew into a person who was a bit detached, which was good for a career in journalism but not for emotional availability or a joyous life. In truth, I was a practiced escape artist. If you revealed some vulnerable attachment to me, I was good at making meaningful eye contact with your shoes and then excusing myself to keep a vitally important appointment with my dry cleaner.
Life has a way of tenderizing you, though. I’m not an exceptional person, but I am a grower.
I’ve noticed along the way that people want to connect. Above almost any other need, human beings long to have another person look into their faces with love and acceptance. The issue is that we lack practical knowledge about how to give one another the attention we long for. It seems like we have intentionally built a society that gives people little guidance on how to perform the most important activities of life.
I’ve noticed along the way that some people are much better at seeing people than others are. In any collection of humans, there are diminishers and there are illuminators. Diminishers are so into themselves; they make others feel insignificant. They stereotype and label. If they learn one thing about you, they proceed to make a series of assumptions about who you must be. Illuminators, on the other hand, have a persistent curiosity about other people. They have been trained or have trained themselves in the craft of understanding others. They shine the brightness of their care on people and make them feel respected.
A person who radiates warmth will bring out the glowing sides of the people he meets, while a person who conveys formality can meet the same people and find them stiff and disconnected. “Attention,” the psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist writes, “is a moral act: It creates, brings aspects of things into being.”
I wanted to learn these skills for moral reasons. If I can shine positive attention on others, I can help them to blossom. If I see potential in others, they may come to see potential in themselves. True understanding is one of the most generous gifts any of us can give to another.
56. What does the example of “making eye contact with shoes and excusing himself” show about the author’s personality? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word “tenderizing” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? (1 word)
___________________________________________________________________
58. How do people expect to be treated by others according to para. 4? (no more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________________
59. What is the essential difference between diminishers and illuminators in the way they treat and judge others? (no more than 15 words)
___________________________________________________________________
60. According to the passage, what should we do to get along well with others in daily life? Why? Please explain in your own words. (no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. He is a bit detached and a practiced escape artist.
57. Polishing/Shaping/Refining.
58. They hope to be looked at with love and acceptance.
59. Diminishers judge casually by stereotypes and assumptions while illuminators understand others with curiosity and respect.
60.
We should care for others sincerely because it helps inspire their potential./We should avoid labeling others casually because everyone desires respect and warmth./We should give positive attention to others because it is a precious moral gift.

【导语】讲述了作者个人成长经历、性格变化以及对人际关系的感悟。作者从最初情感疏离、习惯逃避,到意识到人们渴望被爱与接纳,进而倡导用积极的关注和理解去照亮他人。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。第二段中“Whether it was nature or nurture, I grew into a person who was a bit detached, which was good for a career in journalism but not for emotional availability or a joyous life. In truth, I was a practiced escape artist.(无论是天性还是教养所致,我最终长成了一个有些疏离的人——这对从事新闻事业有好处,但对情感的可及性或快乐的生活无益。事实上,我是一个训练有素的逃避艺术家。)”作者首先点明自己性格疏离、是一个训练有素的逃避艺术家,习惯逃避亲密情感流露;下文“If you revealed some vulnerable attachment to me, I was good at making meaningful eye contact with your shoes and then excusing myself to keep a vitally important appointment with my dry cleaner.(如果你对我表现出一些脆弱的依恋,我擅长与你的鞋子进行有意义的眼神交流,然后找借口去和我的干洗店赴约。)”举例子正是为了印证这一点;因此“与鞋子进行眼神交流并为自己找借口”表明作者是性格疏离、训练有素的逃避艺术家。
【57题详解】
考查词句猜测。文章第二段中作者说自己性格疏离、习惯逃避亲密情感流露;根据第三段中“Life has a way of tenderizing you, though. I’m not an exceptional person, but I am a grower.(不过,生活总有办法 tenderizing你。我不是一个特别的人,但我是一个会成长的人。)”以及最后一段“I wanted to learn these skills for moral reasons. If I can shine positive attention on others, I can help them to blossom. If I see potential in others, they may come to see potential in themselves. (出于道德上的原因,我想学习这些技能。如果我能向他人投射积极的关注,我就能帮助他们绽放。如果我看到他人身上的潜力,他们可能也会看到自己身上的潜力。)”可知,作者一直在成长、观念发生转变,他渴望与他人建立联系并希望学习相关技能,由此可推断,生活让原本冷漠疏离的作者变得柔软,懂得连接,即生活改善/塑造了作者性格,“tenderizing”指“改善,塑造”,与polishing/shaping/refining意思相近。
【58题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第四段中“human beings long to have another person look into their faces with love and acceptance.(人类最渴望的是有另一个人带着爱与接纳注视他们的脸庞)”可知,人们期望被他人以爱和接纳的方式看待。
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段中“Diminishers are so into themselves; they make others feel insignificant... Illuminators... have a persistent curiosity about other people.(贬低者过于自我,他们让别人感到自己无足轻重。他们喜欢贴标签和刻板印象。如果他们了解到关于你的一件事,他们就会对你必须是什么样的人做出一连串的假设。而照亮者则不同,他们对他人怀有持久的好奇心。他们接受过训练,或者自己训练了自己,掌握了理解他人的技艺。他们用关爱的光芒照亮他人,让人们感到被尊重。)”可知,在对待和评价他人的方式上,贬低者和照亮者之间的本质区别是:贬低者随意地根据刻板印象和假设来判断,而照亮者则带着好奇和尊重来理解他人。
【60题详解】
开放性题目,此题要求回答日常生活中如何与人好好相处并说明原因。根据最后一段“If I can shine positive attention on others, I can help them to blossom. If I see potential in others, they may come to see potential in themselves. True understanding is one of the most generous gifts any of us can give to another.(如果我能向他人投射积极的关注,我就能帮助他们绽放。如果我看到他人身上的潜力,他们可能也会看到自己身上的潜力。真正的理解是我们能给予他人的最慷慨的礼物之一。)”以及全文主旨可知,作者倡导给他人积极关注、温暖、理解与尊重,因为这能帮助他人发掘潜能、能创造并激发他人美好的一面,要成为“照亮者”,不要成为“贬低者”。答案合理即可。例如:我们应该真诚地关心别人,因为这有助于激发他们的潜力。/我们应该避免随便给别人贴标签,因为每个人都渴望尊重和温暖。/我们应该给予别人积极的关注,因为这是一种宝贵的道德礼物。

Changes in Our Ways of Learning
The past decade has witnessed a profound transformation in how we learn, with digital technology reshaping every aspect of our study life. Gone are the days when we were confined to textbooks and blackboard lectures. Today, live-streamed classes, open online courses and AI-powered learning apps have become indispensable tools, granting us access to a wealth of resources anytime and anywhere.
For me, these changes have not only boosted learning efficiency but also cultivated self-discipline. Being able to replay recorded lessons to review difficult concepts has made complex knowledge easier to grasp, while online group discussions have sharpened my critical thinking and collaborative skills.
Looking ahead, AI-powered personalized learning will further tailor study plans to individual needs. Though technology offers unprecedented convenience, we should always remember that it is our curiosity and perseverance, not technology itself, that drive real progress.
