A
The social purpose of the copyright system is to encourage creativity and the advancement of knowledge by giving those who make intellectual (智力的) contributions a “unique right to their writings and discoveries” for limited times. Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The U.S. Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area.
It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force.
The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered.
Those are subject to protection:
(1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures
(3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films
(5) Maps (6) Works of ant
(7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs
(9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions
Those are not subject to protection:
(1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans
(3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts
You can contact the Copyright Office (wwcoprightfice.org) for more information.
21. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents?
A. The application fee. B. The duration of protection.
C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society.
22. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration?
A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself.
C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates.
23. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ______.
A. a movie about a new method of time travel
B. an original musical composition for children
C. a book about one’s opinions on American laws
D. an official document issued by the local county
B
Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/ surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
24. What does the author say about doctors in general?
A. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling to take advice.
C. They pretend to be good pilots.
D. They are quick learners of CRM.
25. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.
A. he saved the plane by speaking up
B. he was in charge of a flying task
C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
26. In the last paragraph“landing gear up” probably means ______.
A. following flying requirements.
B. overreacting to different opinions.
C. listening to what fellow doctors say
D. making a mistake that may cost lives
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C. The Making of a Good Pilot
D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor
C
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”. Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
29. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
30. What did the follow-up study focus on?
A. The size of the groups. B. The dominant members.
C. The discussion process. D. The individual estimates.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
D
Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.
Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?
Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll see the opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame (时间框架), and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people “corrected” official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing may encourage environmental awareness.
When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.
32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C. The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D. Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
33. The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________.
A. present an assumption
B. evaluate an argument
C. highlight an experiment
D. introduce an approach
34. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B. New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C. Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D. Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.
35. Which view is closest to the author’s opinion?
A. Time will tell.
B. Everything is relative.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. Time and tide wait for no man.

The Power of Small Steps
In a world that often celebrates big achievements and overnight success, it’s easy to overlook the power of small, consistent steps. Many of us set grand goals, only to feel discouraged when progress is slow or invisible, failing to realise that lasting success is rarely built in a flash. ____36____
Small steps are the building blocks of great things. Think about how a seed grows into a tall tree. It doesn’t happen in a day. ____37____ Every day, it absorbs sunlight and water, pushing its roots deeper into the soil, until one day, it stands tall and strong, a proof of patience and persistence (坚持). Our goals are like that seed — they need time and daily care.
____38____ For example, if your goal is to improve your English, reading a short passage every day is better than trying to finish a thick book in one weekend. The former builds a habit; the latter often leads to burnout. Consistency is key, and small steps make consistency possible by keeping the task manageable.
Another advantage of small steps is that they reduce anxiety. When you take on a huge task, it’s natural to feel nervous. ____39____ However, breaking it into small steps helps. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each small win, which will motivate you to keep going. This positive cycle can turn even the most difficult goal into something manageable.
Small steps teach a growth lesson. ____40____ So, the next time you’re faced with a big goal, don’t be afraid to start small. Remember, every great journey begins with a single step.
A. Small steps help form good habits.
B. We may even give up before starting.
C. Work on the huge task a little bit daily.
D. It changes quietly and steadily underground.
E. But small steps have the power to change this.
F. Small steps can by no means change the situation.
G. They remind us that progress, not perfection, is what matters.

Many years ago, I was on a bicycle trip through some exceedingly picturesque countryside. Suddenly, dark clouds ___41___ overhead and rain began to fall, but strange to relate, several hundred yards ahead of me the sun shone brilliantly. Riding, however, as rapidly as I could, I found it ___42___ to get into the clear. The clouds with their rain kept advancing faster than I could race forward.

As I gazed about with sharpened appreciation, I saw colours and lines and shapes that would have appeared ___47___ under brilliant light. The rain mists which now ___48___ the wooded hills and the fresh clearness of the different greens were entrancing. My ___49___ at the rain was gone and my eagerness to escape it vanished.

It made me think, then and later, about other matters to which this ___51___ was related. It helped me realize that there is no sense in my ___52___ ever to flee from circumstances and conditions which cannot be avoided but which I might bravely ___53___ and frequently mend and often turn to good account. I know that half the battle is won if I can face trouble with courage, and ___54___ with spirit. It has become ever clearer to me that danger is far from disaster, that defeat may be the forerunner of final ___55___, and that, in the last analysis, all achievement is dangerously weak unless based on enduring principles of moral conduct.

“Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I’ve been saving up for the past month and I’m going to buy my mother a lipstick she loves,” Cherry, my friend, said on the way home from school. “See you tomorrow!”
We waved goodbye as she went into a gift shop. But her excitement reminded me that I hadn’t prepared anything special for my mother yet. I continued walking along the road, carefully thinking about what gift I should choose. I had planned to buy her some flowers and chocolates. Now, compared with my friend’s lipstick, they seemed to be too simple.
“Maybe I should go to the gift shop, too.” I told myself.
I pushed open the door to a nearby shop and tried to find a perfect gift. I picked up a lipstick but immediately put it back after seeing its price. I could never afford that! Then I walked into another shop and saw a very lovely cup.
“It’d be a wonderful gift and Mum would love it!” I thought.
I picked it up and turned it over to see the price, hoping it was not too expensive. Once again, I couldn’t afford it. Feeling sad, I continued to wander around the shops until darkness fell outside. Eventually, I gave up and went home. When I opened the door, I was greeted by the good smell from the kitchen.
“Mum, I am home!” I pretended to be cheerful.
Mom turned around and kissed me lightly on the cheeks, saying, “Dinner is almost ready. Today, I happened to be able to come home a little bit earlier. I have made some of the snacks you loved when you were a kid. I really missed the happy time we spent together!”

The social purpose of the copyright system is to encourage creativity and the advancement of knowledge by giving those who make intellectual (智力的) contributions a “unique right to their writings and discoveries” for limited times. Protection is provided for a much longer time for copyrights than for patents. The U.S. Copyright Law of 1976 provides a term or the lifetime of the author plus 50 years. It recognizes that the value of written works often extends over a longer time than that of technological advances in the public area.
It is essential to register for formal copyright protection in order to have some degree of protection against the copyright of one’s works by others. The procedure for obtaining a copyright registration is quite simple—an application is submitted with a small fee and two copies of the work. No examination is made, and the copyright is immediately in force.
The Copyright Office will provide on request a variety of leaflets (小册子) describing the procedure and giving information about the classes of subject matter that can be registered.
Those are subject to protection:
(1) Books and newspapers (2) Lectures
(3) Dramatic compositions (4) Films
(5) Maps (6) Works of ant
(7) Sound recordings (8) Photographs
(9) Prints and labels (10) Musical compositions
Those are not subject to protection:
(1) Ideas (2) Systems, methods and plans
(3) Government publications (4) Laws and opinions of courts
You can contact the Copyright Office (wwcoprightfice.org) for more information.
21. In which aspect do copyrights differ from patents?
A. The application fee. B. The duration of protection.
C. The intellectual value. D. The contribution to society.
22. Which of the following should you provide for copyright registration?
A. Copies of your work. B. Photos of yourself.
C. Introductory leaflets. D. Examination certificates.
23. According to the text, the Copyright Office may reject ______.
A. a movie about a new method of time travel
B. an original musical composition for children
C. a book about one’s opinions on American laws
D. an official document issued by the local county
【答案】21. B 22. A 23. D

B
Doctors are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the power of CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/ surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”.
24. What does the author say about doctors in general?
A. They like flying by themselves.
B. They are unwilling to take advice.
C. They pretend to be good pilots.
D. They are quick learners of CRM.
25. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______.
A. he saved the plane by speaking up
B. he was in charge of a flying task
C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
26. In the last paragraph“landing gear up” probably means ______.
A. following flying requirements.
B. overreacting to different opinions.
C. listening to what fellow doctors say
D. making a mistake that may cost lives
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. CRM: A New Way to Make Flying Safe
B. Flying Makes Me a Better Doctor
C. The Making of a Good Pilot
D. A Pilot-Turned Doctor
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. B

On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”. Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
28. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
29. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
30. What did the follow-up study focus on?
A. The size of the groups. B. The dominant members.
C. The discussion process. D. The individual estimates.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. D

【导语】本文是说明文。没有人是一座孤岛,文章陈述了“群体智慧”效应。实验表明,在某些情况下大量独立估计的平均值可能是相当准确的。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段内容“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and come to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down. (这种效应利用了这样一个事实,即当人们犯错误时,这些错误并不总是相同的。有些人常常会高估,或者低估。当这些误差中有足够多的误差被平均在一起时,它们会相互抵消,从而产生更准确的估计。如果相似的人倾向于犯同样的错误,那么他们的错误不会相互抵消。从更专业的角度来说,群众的智慧要求人们的估计是独立的。如果由于任何原因,人们的错误变得相关或依赖,估计的准确性就会下降)”可知,本段阐述了人们所犯的错误不总是相同的,各不相同的误差平均在一起,相互抵消就会产生更准确的估计,讨论了独立估计的平均如何由于误差的消除而产生更准确的预测。因此本段主要解释了“群体智慧”效应这一现象的基本逻辑。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. (从更专业的角度来说,群众的智慧要求人们的估计是独立的)”和第三段的“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals. (这项研究的关键发现是,当人群被进一步划分为允许进行讨论的小组时,这些小组的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。例如,从四个五人讨论组的估计中获得的平均值明显比从20个独立个体获得的平均值更准确)”可知,人们在没有独立的情况下,分成更小群体,平均值是更准确的,说明即使在估计数字并非完全独立的情况下,准确率提高也是可以做到的。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? (在一项针对100名大学生的后续研究中,研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中的实际行为。他们是否倾向于选择那些对自己的估计最有信心的人?他们追随那些最不愿意改变主意的人吗)”可知,在后续研究中,研究人员试图更好地了解小组成员在讨论中实际做了什么。结合两个问题,因此可知后续研究的重点是小组内的讨论过程。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous. (尽管Navajas领导的研究有局限性,仍存在许多问题,但对小组讨论和决策的潜在影响是巨大的)”可知,作者认为虽然Navajas领导的研究有局限性也存在许多问题,但对小组讨论和决策的潜在影响巨大。因此推断作者对于Navajas的研究表示一定的赞许和支持。故选D。

Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic clocks have proven Einstein right. Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.
Forget about time as an absolute. What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?
Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming. We’re now building a clock at the Anchorage Museum that reflects the total flow of several major Alaskan rivers, which are sensitive to local and global environmental changes. We’ve programmed it to match an atomic clock if the waterways continue to flow at their present rate. If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll see the opposite effect.
The clock registers both short-term irregularities and long-term trends in river dynamics. It’s a sort of observatory that reveals how the rivers are behaving from their own temporal frame (时间框架), and allows us to witness those changes on our smartwatches or phones. Anyone who opts to go on Alaska Mean River Time will live in harmony with the planet. Anyone who considers river time in relation to atomic time will encounter a major imbalance and may be motivated to counteract it by consuming less fuel or supporting greener policies.
Even if this method of timekeeping is novel in its particulars, early agricultural societies also connected time to natural phenomena. In pre-Classical Greece, for instance, people “corrected” official calendars by shifting dates forward or backward to reflect the change of season. Temporal connection to the environment was vital to their survival. Likewise, river time and other timekeeping systems we’re developing may encourage environmental awareness.
When St. Augustine admitted his inability to define time, he highlighted one of time’s most noticeable qualities: Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.
32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A. Timekeeping is increasingly related to nature.
B. Everyone can define time on their own terms.
C. The qualities of time vary with how you measure it.
D. Time is a major concern of philosophers and scientists.
33. The author raises three questions in Paragraph 2 mainly to ________.
A. present an assumption
B. evaluate an argument
C. highlight an experiment
D. introduce an approach
34. What can we learn from this passage?
A. Those who do not go on river time will live an imbalanced life.
B. New ways of measuring time can help to control Earth systems.
C. Atomic time will get ahead of river time if the rivers run slower.
D. Modern technology may help to shape the rivers’ temporal frame.
35. Which view is closest to the author’s opinion?
A. Time will tell.
B. Everything is relative.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. Time and tide wait for no man.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文打破传统时间定义,介绍依托河流环境变化的新型计时方式,指出计时方式由来已久,不同语境下时间意义不同,还能提升人们环保意识。
【32题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Even advanced physics can’t decisively tell us what time is, because the answer depends on the question you’re asking.(即便是前沿物理学也无法确切说出时间究竟是什么,因为答案取决于你所提出的问题。)”以及上文的例子“Early fifth-century philosopher St. Augustine famously wrote that he knew what time was unless someone asked him. Albert Einstein added another wrinkle when he theorized that time varies depending on where you measure it. Today’s state-of-the-art atomic clocks have proven Einstein right.(五世纪初的哲学家圣・奥古斯丁曾写下一句名言:没人问起时,他深知时间为何物,一旦被问及,反倒茫然不解。阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦又提出了新的见解,他提出理论认为,测量地点不同,时间也会产生差异。如今顶尖的原子钟已然证实了爱因斯坦的这一观点。)”可知,本段主要说明时间没有统一的绝对定义,每个人都可以依据自身角度自行定义时间。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“What if, instead of considering time in terms of astronomy, we related time to ecology? What if we allowed environmental conditions to set the tempo of human life? We’re increasingly aware of the fact that we can’t control Earth systems with engineering alone, and realizing that we need to moderate our actions if we hope to live in balance. What if our definition of time reflected that?(倘若我们不再从天文角度界定时间,而是将时间与生态关联起来,会怎样?倘若我们顺应自然环境的节奏来安排人类生活,又会如何?我们愈发清楚,仅凭工程手段根本无法掌控地球生态系统,也逐渐意识到,若想与自然和谐共生,就必须约束自身行为。要是我们对时间的定义也能体现这一理念,那该多好?)”以及第三段“Recently, I conceptualized a new approach to timekeeping that’s connected to circumstances on our planet, conditions that might change as a result of global warming.(最近,我构思了一种新的计时方法,它与我们地球上的环境状况相关——这些状况可能会因全球变暖而改变。)”可知,作者连用三个问句,目的是引出下文这种全新的计时思路与方法。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“If the rivers run faster in the future on average, the clock will get ahead of standard time. If they run slower, you’ll see the opposite effect.(如果河流平均流速变快,这座时钟就会比标准时间走得快;如果流速变慢,则会出现相反的情况。)”可知,河流流速变慢时,河流时间会慢于原子标准时间,也就是原子时间会领先于河流时间。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段段首句“Forget about time as an absolute.(别再把时间看作绝对恒定的存在。)”以及最后一段“Time becomes meaningful only in a defined context. Any timekeeping system is valid, and each is as praiseworthy as its purpose.(时间只有在特定情境下才有意义,任何计时方式都合理,其价值取决于自身用途。)”可知,作者认为不存在绝对的标准,一切都是相对的,即作者秉持万事皆相对的观点,与“Everything is relative”表意一致。

The Power of Small Steps
In a world that often celebrates big achievements and overnight success, it’s easy to overlook the power of small, consistent steps. Many of us set grand goals, only to feel discouraged when progress is slow or invisible, failing to realise that lasting success is rarely built in a flash. ____36____
Small steps are the building blocks of great things. Think about how a seed grows into a tall tree. It doesn’t happen in a day. ____37____ Every day, it absorbs sunlight and water, pushing its roots deeper into the soil, until one day, it stands tall and strong, a proof of patience and persistence (坚持). Our goals are like that seed — they need time and daily care.
____38____ For example, if your goal is to improve your English, reading a short passage every day is better than trying to finish a thick book in one weekend. The former builds a habit; the latter often leads to burnout. Consistency is key, and small steps make consistency possible by keeping the task manageable.
Another advantage of small steps is that they reduce anxiety. When you take on a huge task, it’s natural to feel nervous. ____39____ However, breaking it into small steps helps. You’ll feel a sense of accomplishment with each small win, which will motivate you to keep going. This positive cycle can turn even the most difficult goal into something manageable.
Small steps teach a growth lesson. ____40____ So, the next time you’re faced with a big goal, don’t be afraid to start small. Remember, every great journey begins with a single step.
A. Small steps help form good habits.
B. We may even give up before starting.
C. Work on the huge task a little bit daily.
D. It changes quietly and steadily underground.
E. But small steps have the power to change this.
F. Small steps can by no means change the situation.
G. They remind us that progress, not perfection, is what matters.
【答案】36. E 37. D 38. A 39. B 40. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要论述小步骤的力量,强调坚持小事能积累成功、缓解焦虑、助力成长。

【64题详解】
考查表语从句。句意:这种自力更生、齐心协力的精神,正是推动乡村振兴持续发展的核心力量。这里为表语从句,从句中缺少主语,指代事物,用连接代词what。

“Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I’ve been saving up for the past month and I’m going to buy my mother a lipstick she loves,” Cherry, my friend, said on the way home from school. “See you tomorrow!”
We waved goodbye as she went into a gift shop. But her excitement reminded me that I hadn’t prepared anything special for my mother yet. I continued walking along the road, carefully thinking about what gift I should choose. I had planned to buy her some flowers and chocolates. Now, compared with my friend’s lipstick, they seemed to be too simple.
“Maybe I should go to the gift shop, too.” I told myself.
I pushed open the door to a nearby shop and tried to find a perfect gift. I picked up a lipstick but immediately put it back after seeing its price. I could never afford that! Then I walked into another shop and saw a very lovely cup.
“It’d be a wonderful gift and Mum would love it!” I thought.
I picked it up and turned it over to see the price, hoping it was not too expensive. Once again, I couldn’t afford it. Feeling sad, I continued to wander around the shops until darkness fell outside. Eventually, I gave up and went home. When I opened the door, I was greeted by the good smell from the kitchen.
“Mum, I am home!” I pretended to be cheerful.
Mom turned around and kissed me lightly on the cheeks, saying, “Dinner is almost ready. Today, I happened to be able to come home a little bit earlier. I have made some of the snacks you loved when you were a kid. I really missed the happy time we spent together!”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Just then and there, I had a good idea. Since there was no time or money for me to buy a gift, I decided to write a letter to express my love to my mother. Having finished the letter, I ran through the album and selected a picture in which Mum and I were having a picnic in a park. After the clock on my bedroom wall struck 11 pm, I went out to the sitting room and put the letter on the table, hoping that she would see it in the morning.
Early in the morning, I was woken up by the gentle knocks on my door. I jumped out of bed and opened the door. There stood my mother, holding tightly to her chest the letter and the picture. Even in the darkness, I still could feel her excitement. “I love the letter and the picture! It is the best gift I have ever received!” my mother said. “The picture has reminded me the happy moments we spent together! Thank you, my sweetheart!”
