B
I rarely let it slip that I still pack my teen daughters’ lunches. If other parents find out, their eyebrows (眉毛) usually shoot up. I don’t try to explain my lunch lady routine. I’m in my late 40s — I’m letting go of the need to justify my choices.
My daughters have a lot on their plates: intense academics, part-time jobs, competitive sports, and social lives. Though I am busy too, I am efficient in the kitchen and can prepare a balanced lunch in half the time they can. More importantly, I can’t bear the thought of them rushing out with just a chocolate bar and an apple — that’s a snack, not a meal. I have packed over 4,120 lunches and counting.
But efficiency is not the real reason. What I’m really trying to do is capitalize on the time they’re under my roof. My potential to influence their life choices is already declining sharply and will almost disappear for my eldest next year when she moves out to attend university. Since I still have a chance to model healthy eating and a positive relationship with food, I’m determined to do so.
What I read about eating disorders in North American youth being on the rise is reflected in the messages shared by my daughters. I pay close attention when I hear them complaining about their body parts or commenting on friends who skip meals. Social media and narrow beauty standards are everywhere. It feels like a lot to compete with.
As a mother of athletes, I know that eating intentionally — ensuring they get enough protein, calcium (钙), and carbohydrates (碳水化合物) — is essential for their physical and mental well-being. While I know that a thoughtfully filled lunch bag isn’t going to erase feelings of worry or loneliness that have accompanied some of my girls’ school days, it might remind them that they’re loved and supported at home. Besides, the comfort provided by a small treat shouldn’t be underestimated.
By packing their school lunches, I keep my messaging consistent — we don’t skip meals. We need nutritious foods so we can learn and participate in our sports. We listen when our bodies tell us we’re hungry and also when we’re tired, lightheaded or unfocused. So until my girls throw their graduation caps in the air, I will continue cutting carrots and baking banana bread and preparing snack packs. Before I shut their cooler bags, I’ll also keep adding a dash of hope. Hope that, by doing this, they’ll learn, consciously or subconsciously, how their brains and bodies feel when they feed them regularly, with care.
Going forward, I’ll probably still avoid mentioning my lunch-making routine to other parents-but I know why it matters.
41. The author’s attitude toward other parents’ reaction in Paragraph 1 suggests ________.
A. a slight need to justify her behavior B. a growing confidence in her parenting choices
C. a continuing discomfort with others’ behavior D. a sudden realization of her daughters’ needs
42. What does the underlined word “capitalize on” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. gain control over B. make the most of
C. make up for D. put an end to
43. According to Paragraph 5, a thoughtfully filled lunch bag primarily ________.
A. focuses mainly on athletes’ physical needs.
B. provides care beyond basic nutrition.
C. helps relieve teenagers’ worries and upset from school.
D. erases tension between mother and daughters.
44. The purpose of the author’s consistent messaging is intended to ________.
A. assist her daughters in competitive sports.
B. strengthen healthy attitudes toward food and the body.
C. remind her daughters of their academic responsibilities.
D. leave a lasting memory at the graduation ceremony.
45. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. A mother’s concern over her declining influence.
B. A practical guide to packing nutritious lunches.
C. Intentional parenting through a simple daily act.
D. The rising competition in North American schools.
【答案】41. B 42. B 43. B 44. B 45. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了一位母亲坚持为青春期女儿准备学校午餐的日常故事及其背后的育儿深意。

词句猜测题。根据第三段“My potential to influence their life choices is already declining sharply and will almost disappear for my eldest next year when she moves out to attend university. Since I still have a chance to model healthy eating and a positive relationship with food, I’m determined to do so.(我影响他们人生选择的潜力已经在急剧下降,明年我的大女儿要搬出去上大学时,这种影响就几乎消失了。既然我还有机会成为健康饮食和与食物建立积极关系的榜样,我决心这样做。)”可知,作者想在女儿们还住在家里时充分利用这段时间。所以,划线短语capitalize on的意义为“利用”,与make the most of意义相近。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“While I know that a thoughtfully filled lunch bag isn’t going to erase feelings of worry or loneliness that have accompanied some of my girls’ school days, it might remind them that they’re loved and supported at home. Besides, the comfort provided by a small treat shouldn’t be underestimated.(虽然我知道,一个精心准备的午餐袋并不能消除伴随我女儿上学时代的担忧和孤独感,但它可能会提醒她们,她们在家里得到了爱和支持。此外,小小的款待所带来的舒适感也不容小觑。)”可知,这份午餐除了基本营养外,更承载着情感上的关怀与支持。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段的句子“I keep my messaging consistent — we don’t skip meals. We need nutritious foods so we can learn and participate in our sports. We listen when our bodies tell us we’re hungry and also when we’re tired, lightheaded or unfocused. (我保持信息一致——我们不跳过正餐。我们需要营养食物来学习和参加运动。当身体告诉我们饿了的时候,以及当我们疲倦、头晕或注意力不集中时,我们都要倾听。)”可知,作者持续传递这些信息是为了强化女儿们对食物和身体的健康态度。
【45题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了一位母亲坚持为十几岁的女儿准备午餐,不仅仅是为了提供营养,更是为了利用女儿们还在家的时间,树立健康饮食的榜样,传达关爱,通过这个简单的日常行为践行用心育儿的理念。所以文章的主旨是通过简单的日常行为进行用心育儿。C项“Intentional parenting through a simple daily act.(通过简单的日常行为来有意识地养育孩子。)”能概况文章的主旨大意。
C
At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.
We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. In one study, people even preferred mild electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime.
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds many human achievements depend largely on higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander.
Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.
Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find better solutions after unfocused thinking than through intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.
Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful.
46. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”?
A. It does harm to people’s health. B. It helps people to avoid boredom.
C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment.
47. What does the 2022 study suggest?
A. People easily get used to phone-free life. B. Daydreaming is often underestimated.
C. Being alone naturally promotes learning. D. Self-reflection is the cure for boredom.
48. What does the default mode suggest?
A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas.
C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity.
49. What does Poerio mean by mental “time travel”?
A. Recalling memories to escape the present. B. Using imagined experiences to manage social life.
C. Predicting future events with emotional accuracy. D. Keeping close relationships free from conflict.
50. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone
C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind D. Explore the Benefits of Social Daydreaming
【答案】46. D 47. B 48. A 49. B 50. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了让思绪漫游(做白日梦)对认知、情感和社交的多方面益处,并鼓励人们放下手机进行思考。
【46题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. (社会心理学教授Erin Westgate将无意识的刷屏比作“大脑糖果”——片刻愉悦但缺乏意义)”可知,Erin Westgate将无意识刷屏称为“大脑糖果”是因为它能带来短暂但浅薄的快乐。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. (在2022年的一项研究中,人们预测自己会讨厌独自待着无所事事的20分钟,但之后却报告了比预期更愉快的感受)”可知,2022年的研究表明做白日梦能带来出乎意料的愉快感受,说明其好处常常被低估。
【48题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems. (即使人们没有积极思考,他们的大脑仍处于所谓的“默认模式”的活跃状态,这使想法能够以新的方式连接。这对解决复杂问题尤其有帮助)”可知,人们没有积极思考时,大脑处于“默认模式”的活跃状态,这种目的不明确的思考模式能以新的方式连接想法,能够激发创造力。
【49题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. (做社交性白日梦让个人能够练习对话、反思过去的互动,并为未来的社交情境做好准备。正如心理学家Poerio所说,我们精神“时间旅行”的能力帮助我们更好地应对社交世界)”可知,Poerio所说的精神“时间旅行”指的是上文中提到的“做社交性白日梦”,即利用想象的经历来管理社交生活。
【50题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits. (在任何一个公交车站或是排队等候时,大多数人都会低头刷手机。但研究表明,如果你能抵抗住这种冲动,转而让思绪自由游走,可能会带来一些重要的益处)”以及后文对思绪漫游在解决问题、社交等方面益处的阐述可知,文章主要探讨了让思绪漫游的积极价值。故C项“Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind (释放你漫游思绪的力量)”能概括文章内容,最适合做文章标题。
D
Also known as the Precautionary Approach (预防原则) or Precautionary Action, the Precautionary Principle is a concept best summed up by the proverb “better safe than sorry” or the medical maxim to “first do no harm.”
Whenever we make even the smallest change within a complex system, we risk dramatic unintended consequences. The interconnections and dependencies within systems make it almost impossible to predict outcomes and because such systems often require a reasonably precise set of conditions to function, our interventions can cause damage.
The Precautionary Principle reflects the reality of working with and within complex systems. It shifts the burden of proof from proving something was dangerous after the fact to proving it is safe before taking chances. It emphasizes waiting for more complete information before risking causing damage, especially if some of the possible impacts would be irreversible (不可逆的), hard to contain, or would affect people who didn’t choose to be involved.
The possibility of harm does not need to be specific to that particular circumstance; sometimes we can judge a category of actions as one that always requires precaution because we know it has a high risk of unintended consequences.
For example, invasive (入侵) species have repeatedly caused native species to become extinct. So it’s reasonable to exercise precaution and not introduce living things into new places without strong evidence it will be harmless.
The Precautionary Principle is widely applied in environmental policy. For example, the German Environmental Protection Agency explains that the Precautionary Principle has two core components in German environmental law today: preventing risks and protecting resources.
Preventing risks means legislators (立法者) shouldn’t take actions where our knowledge of the potential for environmental damage is incomplete or uncertain but there is cause for concern. The burden of proof is on proving lack of harm, not on proving harm. Protecting resources means preserving things like water and soil in a form future generations can use.
The flexibility of the Precautionary Principle is both a source of strength and a source of weakness. We live in a fast-moving world where regulation does not always keep up with innovation, meaning guidelines (as opposed to rules) can often prove useful.
Another reason the Precautionary Principle can be a practical addition to legislation is that science doesn’t necessarily move fast enough to protect us from potential risks, especially ones that shift harm elsewhere or take a long time to show up. For example, thousands of human-made substances are present in the food we eat, ranging from medications given to livestock (牲畜) to materials used in packaging. Proving that a new additive has health risks once it’s in the food supply could take decades because it’s incredibly difficult to isolate (隔离) causative factors. So some regulators, including the Food and Drug Administration in America, require manufacturers in certain areas to prove something is safe before it goes to market. This approach isn’t perfect, but it’s far safer than waiting to discover harm after we start eating something.
The Precautionary Principle forces us to ask a lot of difficult questions about the nature of risk, uncertainty, probability, the role of government, and ethics (伦理). It can also prompt us to question our intuitions surrounding the right decisions to make in certain situations.
51. What is the central idea of the Precautionary Principle?
A. Complex systems can be changed step by step. B. Harm should be proved after risky action is taken.
C. Scientific progress should guide regulations. D. Safety should be shown before risky action is taken.
52. Why does the Precautionary Principle shift the burden of proof?
A. Because possible damage may be serious and hard to undo.
B. Because most scientific studies fail to predict the future.
C. Because people involved usually choose to accept the risks.
D. Because complex systems can recover quickly from damage.
53. In Paragraph 5, why are invasive species mentioned?
A. To show how native species become extinct. B. To explain how ecosystems adapt to new species.
C. To illustrate a category needing precaution. D. To show the complexity of environmental systems.
54. Why does the author mention human-made substances in food?
A. To show why delayed harm can be hard to prove. B. To argue that food safety rules are too strict.
C. To explain how additives improve modern diets. D. To prove that packaged foods are dangerous.
55. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Environmental Law: Protecting Resources for the Future
B. The Precautionary Principle: Acting Before Harm Is Proven
C. Complex Systems: Why Science Cannot Predict Everything
D. Modern Regulation: Slowing Down Risky Innovation
【答案】51. D 52. A 53. C 54. A 55. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了预防原则的定义、核心内涵、应用场景、实践价值以及其在现实生活中的具体体现。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It shifts the burden of proof from proving something was dangerous after the fact to proving it is safe before taking chances. (它将举证责任从事后证明某事有危险转移到冒险之前证明其安全。)”可知,预防原则的核心思想是在采取有风险的行为之前先证明其安全性。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“It emphasizes waiting for more complete information before risking causing damage, especially if some of the possible impacts would be irreversible (不可逆的), hard to contain, or would affect people who didn’t choose to be involved. (它强调在冒险造成损害之前等待更完整的信息,尤其是当一些可能的影响是不可逆的、难以控制的,或者会影响那些没有选择参与其中的人时。)”可知,预防原则转移举证责任是因为可能的损害可能很严重且难以挽回。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The possibility of harm does not need to be specific to that particular circumstance; sometimes we can judge a category of actions as one that always requires precaution because we know it has a high risk of unintended consequences. (危害的可能性不需要特定于那种特定情况;有时我们可以将一类行为判定为始终需要预防,因为我们知道这类行为有很高的意外后果风险。)”以及第五段“For example, invasive (入侵) species have repeatedly caused native species to become extinct. (例如,入侵物种已多次导致本地物种灭绝。)”可知,提到入侵物种是为了举例说明需要预防的一类情况。
【54题详解】
细节理解题。根据第九段“Proving that a new additive has health risks once it’s in the food supply could take decades because it’s incredibly difficult to isolate (隔离) causative factors. (一旦一种新的添加剂进入食品供应体系,要证明它具有健康风险可能需要数十年时间,因为分离致病因素极其困难。)”可知,作者提到食品中的人造物质是为了说明为什么延迟的危害很难证明。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“Also known as the Precautionary Approach (预防原则) or Precautionary Action, the Precautionary Principle is a concept best summed up by the proverb “better safe than sorry” or the medical maxim to “first do no harm. (预防原则也被称为预防方法或预防行动,这一概念最好用谚语“安全总比后悔好”或医学格言“首先不造成伤害”来概括。)”以及第三段“It shifts the burden of proof from proving something was dangerous after the fact to proving it is safe before taking chances. (它将举证责任从事后证明某事有危险转移到冒险之前证明其安全。)”可知,文章主要介绍的是预防原则——在危害被证实之前就采取行动。
第Ⅱ卷(共35分)
第一节 阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题。
My wife Kate loved tea. The first cup of tea I made for her was 45 years ago. It was not a success.
That first cold Monday after our wedding, I arrived home earlier than she did and made tea. The horror on Kate’s face when she saw the bubbling (冒泡的) pot marked a three-decade journey of instruction on the right way to make a cup of tea.
Looking back on our decades together, the only thing that didn’t change about us was our love of tea. We had cups of tea in the morning and the evening, and every hour in between. Sitting on the back deck of our farm, we held our mugs close, protecting them from the farm cats vying for our affection, brushing against our legs and meowing (喵喵叫) for attention.
On a cold day, nothing was as warming as a strong cup of tea. After a hard day, nothing as relaxing. Tea was our pick-me-up, our wind down, our comfort blanket.
Near the end of her illness, I’d visit Kate each morning in the hospital. I’d arrive at 6 a.m. with a thermos (保温瓶) of boiled water, milk, teabags, a small teapot and two china mugs. I’d prepare us each a cup in the usual manner and gently wake her up. We’d sit quietly and enjoy the ritual and each other’s company with all the medical equipment around her.
We didn’t talk about the past — or the future. If we talked at all it was about the boredom of the present and our new normal. When Kate was too sick to swallow, I’d bring my tea to her bedside and sit holding her hand, sipping my tea and chatting as if it was just another day, hoping she couldn’t feel my heart breaking.
Now when I am by myself at our farm, I don’t have to heat the pot first and slowly pour boiling water over a single bag lying at the bottom. There’s no need to put the milk in the cup before the tea, or to stir (搅拌) and stir and stir to ensure the sugar is completely melted.
I don’t have to do any of those things. But I do.
56. Why was Kate horrified when she saw the bubbling tea pot? (No more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________
57. What does the underlined word “vying for” in Paragraph 3 mean? (No more than 3 words)
______________________________________________________________
58. How did the author and Kate spend their time together in the hospital? (No more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________________
59. Why did the author still make tea as instructed by Kate now? (No more than 15 words)
______________________________________________________________
60. What do you think of the “tea ritual (仪式)” in the passage? Give your reason. (No more than 20 words)
______________________________________________________________
【答案】56. Because the tea was made improperly.
57. Competing for.
58. They enjoyed tea and each other’s company quietly.
59. To remember and honor Kate.
60. It’s beautiful. It carries love, memory and companionship beyond life and death.
【解析】
【导语】本文以“茶”为线索,讲述了作者与妻子Kate从新婚到生离死别的深情故事。
【56题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“The horror on Kate’s face when she saw the bubbling (冒泡的) pot marked a three-decade journey of instruction on the right way to make a cup of tea.(凯特看到冒泡的茶壶时脸上的惊恐表情,开启了长达三十年的正确泡茶指导之旅。)”可推知,作者泡茶的方式不符合标准,才让凯特感到惊恐。
【57题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线下文“brushing against our legs and meowing (喵喵叫) for attention.(蹭着我们的腿、喵喵叫来引起我们的注意。)”可知,猫咪们在通过动作“争夺”他们的宠爱,因此划线短语vying for意为“争抢;竞争”,与competing for意义一致。
【58题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的句子“We’d sit quietly and enjoy the ritual and each other’s company with all the medical equipment around her.(我们会安静地坐着,享受这个仪式,享受彼此的陪伴,她周围都是医疗设备。)”可知,二人安静地喝茶并享受彼此的陪伴。
【59题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,特别是最后一段的句子“I don’t have to do any of those things. But I do.(我不需要做这些事。但我还是这样做。)”可知,作者说现在一个人不需要按那些步骤泡茶了,但他仍然这样做。这体现了他对妻子的思念——通过延续她教的泡茶仪式,来纪念他们的爱情和共同回忆。
【60题详解】
开放性试题。根据文章内容可知,茶仪式贯穿全文:从新婚时的教学、农场生活的陪伴、病榻前的相守,到妻子离世后的怀念。它不仅是泡茶步骤,更是爱的载体和记忆的延续。所以对文中提到的茶仪式的看法是:It’s beautiful. It carries love, memory and companionship beyond life and death.

I rarely let it slip that I still pack my teen daughters’ lunches. If other parents find out, their eyebrows (眉毛) usually shoot up. I don’t try to explain my lunch lady routine. I’m in my late 40s — I’m letting go of the need to justify my choices.
My daughters have a lot on their plates: intense academics, part-time jobs, competitive sports, and social lives. Though I am busy too, I am efficient in the kitchen and can prepare a balanced lunch in half the time they can. More importantly, I can’t bear the thought of them rushing out with just a chocolate bar and an apple — that’s a snack, not a meal. I have packed over 4,120 lunches and counting.
But efficiency is not the real reason. What I’m really trying to do is capitalize on the time they’re under my roof. My potential to influence their life choices is already declining sharply and will almost disappear for my eldest next year when she moves out to attend university. Since I still have a chance to model healthy eating and a positive relationship with food, I’m determined to do so.
What I read about eating disorders in North American youth being on the rise is reflected in the messages shared by my daughters. I pay close attention when I hear them complaining about their body parts or commenting on friends who skip meals. Social media and narrow beauty standards are everywhere. It feels like a lot to compete with.
As a mother of athletes, I know that eating intentionally — ensuring they get enough protein, calcium (钙), and carbohydrates (碳水化合物) — is essential for their physical and mental well-being. While I know that a thoughtfully filled lunch bag isn’t going to erase feelings of worry or loneliness that have accompanied some of my girls’ school days, it might remind them that they’re loved and supported at home. Besides, the comfort provided by a small treat shouldn’t be underestimated.
By packing their school lunches, I keep my messaging consistent — we don’t skip meals. We need nutritious foods so we can learn and participate in our sports. We listen when our bodies tell us we’re hungry and also when we’re tired, lightheaded or unfocused. So until my girls throw their graduation caps in the air, I will continue cutting carrots and baking banana bread and preparing snack packs. Before I shut their cooler bags, I’ll also keep adding a dash of hope. Hope that, by doing this, they’ll learn, consciously or subconsciously, how their brains and bodies feel when they feed them regularly, with care.
Going forward, I’ll probably still avoid mentioning my lunch-making routine to other parents-but I know why it matters.

At any bus stop or while waiting in line, most people will have their heads down scrolling (滚屏) on their phones. But studies suggest if you resist that urge and let your mind wander instead, there could be some serious benefits.
We actually spend nearly half our waking time daydreaming, but it isn’t always pleasant. In one study, people even preferred mild electric shocks to being alone with their thoughts. This explains why we automatically reach for phones during downtime.
Social psychology professor Erin Westgate compares mindless scrolling to “brain candy” — momentarily pleasurable but lacking in meaning. She adds many human achievements depend largely on higher-order thinking. So next time you have a few minutes free, put away your phone and let your mind wander.
Many people fear boredom, but this fear is often overblown. In a 2022 study, people predicted they would hate 20 minutes alone doing nothing, yet afterward reported greater enjoyment than expected. According to researcher Kou Murayama, the ability to mentally wander — to reflect on past experiences and consider others’ viewpoints — is a distinctly human capacity that boosts learning and helps understand others.
Mind-wandering is also key to problem-solving. People often find better solutions after unfocused thinking than through intentional effort alone, especially during routine tasks like driving or showering. Even when people are not actively thinking, their brains remain active in a so-called default mode (默认模式), allowing ideas to connect in new ways. It’s especially helpful for complex problems.
Beyond cognitive (认知的) benefits, daydreaming also boosts social and emotional connections. A study found imagining pleasant interactions with loved ones made people feel closer. Social daydreaming allows individuals to practice conversations, reflect on past interactions, and prepare for future social situations. As psychologist Poerio says, our ability to mentally “time travel” helps us better handle the social world. Murayama says he now tries to resist checking his phone during short waits and let his thoughts wander. He finds simply entertaining oneself mentally can be both satisfying and meaningful.
46. Why does Erin Westgate compare mindless scrolling to “brain candy”?
A. It does harm to people’s health. B. It helps people to avoid boredom.
C. It replaces deep thinking in daily life. D. It brings quick but shallow enjoyment.
47. What does the 2022 study suggest?
A. People easily get used to phone-free life. B. Daydreaming is often underestimated.
C. Being alone naturally promotes learning. D. Self-reflection is the cure for boredom.
48. What does the default mode suggest?
A. Unfocused thinking fuels creativity. B. Intentional effort brings new ideas.
C. Complex tasks require active minds. D. Routines involve little brain activity.
49. What does Poerio mean by mental “time travel”?
A. Recalling memories to escape the present. B. Using imagined experiences to manage social life.
C. Predicting future events with emotional accuracy. D. Keeping close relationships free from conflict.
50. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Maintain Focus in the Digital Age B. Discover the Joy of Being Truly Alone
C. Unlock the Power of Your Wandering Mind D. Explore the Benefits of Social Daydreaming

Also known as the Precautionary Approach (预防原则) or Precautionary Action, the Precautionary Principle is a concept best summed up by the proverb “better safe than sorry” or the medical maxim to “first do no harm.”
Whenever we make even the smallest change within a complex system, we risk dramatic unintended consequences. The interconnections and dependencies within systems make it almost impossible to predict outcomes and because such systems often require a reasonably precise set of conditions to function, our interventions can cause damage.
The Precautionary Principle reflects the reality of working with and within complex systems. It shifts the burden of proof from proving something was dangerous after the fact to proving it is safe before taking chances. It emphasizes waiting for more complete information before risking causing damage, especially if some of the possible impacts would be irreversible (不可逆的), hard to contain, or would affect people who didn’t choose to be involved.
The possibility of harm does not need to be specific to that particular circumstance; sometimes we can judge a category of actions as one that always requires precaution because we know it has a high risk of unintended consequences.
For example, invasive (入侵) species have repeatedly caused native species to become extinct. So it’s reasonable to exercise precaution and not introduce living things into new places without strong evidence it will be harmless.
The Precautionary Principle is widely applied in environmental policy. For example, the German Environmental Protection Agency explains that the Precautionary Principle has two core components in German environmental law today: preventing risks and protecting resources.
Preventing risks means legislators (立法者) shouldn’t take actions where our knowledge of the potential for environmental damage is incomplete or uncertain but there is cause for concern. The burden of proof is on proving lack of harm, not on proving harm. Protecting resources means preserving things like water and soil in a form future generations can use.
The flexibility of the Precautionary Principle is both a source of strength and a source of weakness. We live in a fast-moving world where regulation does not always keep up with innovation, meaning guidelines (as opposed to rules) can often prove useful.
Another reason the Precautionary Principle can be a practical addition to legislation is that science doesn’t necessarily move fast enough to protect us from potential risks, especially ones that shift harm elsewhere or take a long time to show up. For example, thousands of human-made substances are present in the food we eat, ranging from medications given to livestock (牲畜) to materials used in packaging. Proving that a new additive has health risks once it’s in the food supply could take decades because it’s incredibly difficult to isolate (隔离) causative factors. So some regulators, including the Food and Drug Administration in America, require manufacturers in certain areas to prove something is safe before it goes to market. This approach isn’t perfect, but it’s far safer than waiting to discover harm after we start eating something.
The Precautionary Principle forces us to ask a lot of difficult questions about the nature of risk, uncertainty, probability, the role of government, and ethics (伦理). It can also prompt us to question our intuitions surrounding the right decisions to make in certain situations.
51. What is the central idea of the Precautionary Principle?
A. Complex systems can be changed step by step. B. Harm should be proved after risky action is taken.
C. Scientific progress should guide regulations. D. Safety should be shown before risky action is taken.
52. Why does the Precautionary Principle shift the burden of proof?
A. Because possible damage may be serious and hard to undo.
B. Because most scientific studies fail to predict the future.
C. Because people involved usually choose to accept the risks.
D. Because complex systems can recover quickly from damage.
53. In Paragraph 5, why are invasive species mentioned?
A. To show how native species become extinct. B. To explain how ecosystems adapt to new species.
C. To illustrate a category needing precaution. D. To show the complexity of environmental systems.
54. Why does the author mention human-made substances in food?
A. To show why delayed harm can be hard to prove. B. To argue that food safety rules are too strict.
C. To explain how additives improve modern diets. D. To prove that packaged foods are dangerous.
55. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Environmental Law: Protecting Resources for the Future
B. The Precautionary Principle: Acting Before Harm Is Proven
C. Complex Systems: Why Science Cannot Predict Everything
D. Modern Regulation: Slowing Down Risky Innovation

阅读下面短文,并根据题目要求用英语回答问题。
My wife Kate loved tea. The first cup of tea I made for her was 45 years ago. It was not a success.
That first cold Monday after our wedding, I arrived home earlier than she did and made tea. The horror on Kate’s face when she saw the bubbling (冒泡的) pot marked a three-decade journey of instruction on the right way to make a cup of tea.
Looking back on our decades together, the only thing that didn’t change about us was our love of tea. We had cups of tea in the morning and the evening, and every hour in between. Sitting on the back deck of our farm, we held our mugs close, protecting them from the farm cats vying for our affection, brushing against our legs and meowing (喵喵叫) for attention.
On a cold day, nothing was as warming as a strong cup of tea. After a hard day, nothing as relaxing. Tea was our pick-me-up, our wind down, our comfort blanket.
Near the end of her illness, I’d visit Kate each morning in the hospital. I’d arrive at 6 a.m. with a thermos (保温瓶) of boiled water, milk, teabags, a small teapot and two china mugs. I’d prepare us each a cup in the usual manner and gently wake her up. We’d sit quietly and enjoy the ritual and each other’s company with all the medical equipment around her.
We didn’t talk about the past — or the future. If we talked at all it was about the boredom of the present and our new normal. When Kate was too sick to swallow, I’d bring my tea to her bedside and sit holding her hand, sipping my tea and chatting as if it was just another day, hoping she couldn’t feel my heart breaking.
Now when I am by myself at our farm, I don’t have to heat the pot first and slowly pour boiling water over a single bag lying at the bottom. There’s no need to put the milk in the cup before the tea, or to stir (搅拌) and stir and stir to ensure the sugar is completely melted.
I don’t have to do any of those things. But I do.
