A Day in My Future Home
Good morning, I’d like to share my vision of a day in my future home.
First, my future home will be very smart. For example, devices will control the lights and temperature automatically to make me feel comfortable. For entertainment, I can watch movies with VR, which will make me feel like I am inside the movie. This is very different from my life now, where I have to turn things on and off by myself and I only have a regular TV or phone.
Second, my kitchen will help me eat better. A smart assistant will suggest healthy meals based on my needs and cook them quickly. In contrast, I often eat unhealthy fast food now because I am too busy and have no time to cook.
In my opinion, these changes will make my life much easier and healthier. I will have more time to relax and do what I love. A future home like this is not just about technology; it is about helping me live a happier life.
That’s all for my sharing. Thank you!

Twenty years ago, I joined a hiking club, not realizing that this decision would quietly 31 my life. What began as getting outdoors and exploring local hikes 32 a passport stamped with adventures around the world.
Like many new hikers, I joined for 33 reasons: motivation to stay active, explore nature and make friends. What I found, however, were fellow hikers who shared trail (徒步路线) knowledge, life stories and an 34 enthusiasm for travel. Conversations sometimes 35 toward overseas experiences and gradually planted seeds. Before long, I began to see a way to 36 my desire to maintain fitness and explore the world. It was challenging at first, as I was still working full-time, and could only 37 once a year. Nevertheless, I managed to 38 short vacations and visited many striking places.
Each subsequent trip brought fresh 39 and helped strengthen my willpower. I learned to navigate routes, something I once thought impossible, 40 unexpected situations and communicate with people from different cultures.
I also managed to persuade my husband to 41 me to Northern England. We stayed in inviting inns, passing through rolling hills and ancient villages, 42 by the beautiful scenery.
Then we booked a tour to South America where we explored Patagonia. This was perhaps the most 43 of them all, with its towering peaks, fierce winds and interesting wildlife viewing. Even though our itinerary (行程表) 44 bus travel to take us from one hiking destination to another, we were required to travel on foot, dragging our suitcases behind us. It certainly 45 an experience none of us will ever forget.
Along the way, my growing love of active travel led to even more adventures. These journeys 46 physical challenge with cultural immersion. Hiking friends also introduced me to backpacking, and a new passion 47 . What stands out most is how a hiking club served as a catalyst (催化剂). It did more than maintain trails; it fostered a sense of 48 and joy.
Looking back, I may have joined for fitness and fresh air, but I stayed for the people. Through organized activities and shared 49 , club members learn not only about the trails beneath their feet but also about themselves. One trail led to another, and before I knew it, the path 50 across countries and continents. All it took was that first step.

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I... I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A.It is wise to value one’s time.
B.It is enough to do the necessary.
C.It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D.It is important to make an effort.
57.Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ________.
A.answer their homework questions orally B.grade their homework themselves
C.recite their homework together D.check the answers to their homework questions
58.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.
A.requested her students to finish their usual questions
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.asked questions in a regular way
59.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.
A.the class didn’t begin as usual
B.he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
C.several students didn’t come to school
D.Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
60.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher B.A Future Mathematician
C.A Valuable Lesson D.An Effective Approach
C
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.
61.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.
62.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.
63.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.
64.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.
65.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
D
Is there anything more frustrating than other people? Despite our best efforts to persuade them to do, say and be what we want, they persist in overturn our plans by making their own decisions, being their own people and thinking their own thoughts.
One can waste hours spiraling (纠结) about others’ behavior. Why weren’t we included in that meeting at work? Why did that stranger cut us off in traffic? Every time you are about to start obsessing over someone else’s actions, remember: let them!
The concept was recently popularized by motivational speaker Mel Robbins. “I just heard about this thing called the Let Them theory,” she told her millions of followers in an Instagram post in May 2023. “I love it.” The video quickly went viral. People got “Let Them” tattoos. In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.”
There are some important caveats to the theory, according to Robbins. She argues, “let them” only works if it is followed by “let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. Accepting that we can’t control other people’s actions is a reminder that we are entirely responsible for our own. You are not responsible for someone cutting you off in traffic, but you are responsible for responding with patience and courtesy, rather than with anger and harsh words.
Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, “let them”. Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. Second, you must always advocate for yourself and what you need — negotiate a higher salary, for example, or insist on getting the medical care you need. Finally, if someone continually violates your boundaries, you should not “let them” do that, Robbins says.
The “let them” concept is not without its critics. People have argued that the theory is Stoicism repackaged. Others have criticized Robbins for not crediting poet Cassie B.Phillips, whose poem Let Them went viral in 2022. Robbins herself acknowledges this. As an author, podcaster and former lawyer, she is not a mental health professional. But experts agree that giving up on trying to control the behaviors and actions of others can be hugely beneficial — not only for yourself, but for the people around you as well.
The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying “let them” prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. Annoying! But also liberating. It’s a reminder that it’s OK to step back, let people be who they are, and stop carrying things that aren’t ours to carry.
66.What can we learn from Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory?
A.It was published in the year 2023.
B.It received wide media and public recognition.
C.It was written in the form of a podcast.
D.It was based on Oprah’s personal experience.
67.The underlined word “caveats” in Paragraph 4 can be explained as ________.
A.restrictions and boundaries of application
B.remarkable benefits and positive effects
C.detailed interpretations and further analyses
D.typical instances and practical illustrations
68.Which of the following is against The Let Them theory according to Robbins?
A.Mind your own behavior when annoyed by strangers.
B.Stay silent when witnessing unfair discrimination.
C.Fight for your deserved salary and medical care.
D.Refuse to tolerate others’ repeated boundary violations.
69.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A.It takes little time to get rid of negative emotions.
B.The Let Them theory is not perfect but meaningful.
C.We can control both our own actions and others’.
D.The phrase “let them” can solve all life problems
70.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To introduce and comment on a popular life philosophy.
B.To persuade readers to accept others’ mistakes.
C.To criticize Mel Robbins’ new book.
D.To explain how to control one’s emotions.
第四部分:写作(共两节,满分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,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
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.
71.What does the example of “making eye contact with shoes and excusing himself” show about the author’s personality? (no more than 10 words)
72.What does the underlined word “tenderizing” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? (1 word)
73.How do people expect to be treated by others according to para. 4? (no more than 10 words)
74.What is the essential difference between diminishers and illuminators in the way they treat and judge others? (no more than 15 words)
75.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)
第二节:书面表达(满分25分)

【详解】句意:通知给出了活动的详细说明,列出了集合地点、开始时间和安全规则。分析句子结构可知,句中已有谓语动词gives,且没有连词,故空格处应填入非谓语动词。逻辑主语The notice与动词list之间为主动关系,因此使用现在分词listing作伴随状语。

A.whatever B.what C.whomever D.that
【答案】A
【详解】句意:他接受提出的任何批评,利用它来促进个人的成长和进步。动词accepts后接宾语从句。在宾语从句中,引导词需要修饰名词criticism作定语,且根据语境表示“任何……”的含义。可以用whatever引导宾语从句,并在从句中作定语修饰criticism,意为“无论什么……,任何……”。

Twenty years ago, I joined a hiking club, not realizing that this decision would quietly 31 my life. What began as getting outdoors and exploring local hikes 32 a passport stamped with adventures around the world.
Like many new hikers, I joined for 33 reasons: motivation to stay active, explore nature and make friends. What I found, however, were fellow hikers who shared trail (徒步路线) knowledge, life stories and an 34 enthusiasm for travel. Conversations sometimes 35 toward overseas experiences and gradually planted seeds. Before long, I began to see a way to 36 my desire to maintain fitness and explore the world. It was challenging at first, as I was still working full-time, and could only 37 once a year. Nevertheless, I managed to 38 short vacations and visited many striking places.
Each subsequent trip brought fresh 39 and helped strengthen my willpower. I learned to navigate routes, something I once thought impossible, 40 unexpected situations and communicate with people from different cultures.
I also managed to persuade my husband to 41 me to Northern England. We stayed in inviting inns, passing through rolling hills and ancient villages, 42 by the beautiful scenery.
Then we booked a tour to South America where we explored Patagonia. This was perhaps the most 43 of them all, with its towering peaks, fierce winds and interesting wildlife viewing. Even though our itinerary (行程表) 44 bus travel to take us from one hiking destination to another, we were required to travel on foot, dragging our suitcases behind us. It certainly 45 an experience none of us will ever forget.
Along the way, my growing love of active travel led to even more adventures. These journeys 46 physical challenge with cultural immersion. Hiking friends also introduced me to backpacking, and a new passion 47 . What stands out most is how a hiking club served as a catalyst (催化剂). It did more than maintain trails; it fostered a sense of 48 and joy.
Looking back, I may have joined for fitness and fresh air, but I stayed for the people. Through organized activities and shared 49 , club members learn not only about the trails beneath their feet but also about themselves. One trail led to another, and before I knew it, the path 50 across countries and continents. All it took was that first step.

B
In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I... I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A.It is wise to value one’s time.
B.It is enough to do the necessary.
C.It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D.It is important to make an effort.
57.Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ________.
A.answer their homework questions orally B.grade their homework themselves
C.recite their homework together D.check the answers to their homework questions
58.The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always ________.
A.requested her students to finish their usual questions
B.walked up and down when asking questions
C.chose two or three questions for the students
D.asked questions in a regular way
59.The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________.
A.the class didn’t begin as usual
B.he didn’t try hard to make his estimate
C.several students didn’t come to school
D.Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class
60.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.An Unforgettable Teacher B.A Future Mathematician
C.A Valuable Lesson D.An Effective Approach
【答案】56.B 57.A 58.D 59.C 60.C
【导语】文章讲述了作者在初中时因偷懒只做部分数学作业,并试图利用老师提问的规律来蒙混过关,却因同学缺席而计划失败,当众出丑,并因此学到了深刻的人生教训。
【详解】56.词句猜测题。根据画线部分所在句“I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort (我是一个有些无聊的青春期早期男生,认为做任何超出必要范围的事都是浪费精力)”和第五段中“This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算). (这一次,根据我的计算,我完成了我平常做的两三个问题。)”可知,作者当时的学习态度是只做最低限度的作业,不愿意付出额外努力,他偷懒只做部分数学作业。由此可知,画线部分表示“只要完成必要(的作业)就够了”。
57.细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions. (我们的老师通常会布置每日作业,第二天在课堂上背诵。在大多数日子里,我们的成绩是基于我们对作业问题的口头回答。)”可知,通常,Totten太太要求她的学生口头回答作业问题。
58.细节理解题。根据第四段“Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end. (Totten太太通常沿着课桌间的过道走动,按照我们作业纸上题目出现的顺序,一个接一个地要求学生回答。她会从教室的前面或后面开始,然后朝另一端进行。)”可知,作者能算出要回答哪些问题是因为老师总是以一种规律的方式提问。
59.细节理解题。根据第六段中“What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. (我没有预料到的是,有几个学生缺席了,这打乱了我的估计。)”可知,作者没能得到他预期的问题是因为几个学生没来上学。
60.主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician. (那天我学到了什么?第一,永远要做完所有作业。第二,在现实生活中,重要的不总是你说了什么,而是你怎么说。第三,我永远也成不了数学家。)”和最后一段“If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one. (如果让我选一个教会我最多东西的上学日,那就是那一天。)”可知,作者通过一个具体、尴尬的事件,分享了一个深刻的个人教训,这个教训对他影响深远,因此“宝贵的一课”是最贴切、最能概括主旨的标题。
C
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.
61.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.
62.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.
63.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.
64.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.
65.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】61.D 62.A 63.C 64.A 65.B
【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。
【详解】61.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。
62.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。
63.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。
64.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。
65.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。

Is there anything more frustrating than other people? Despite our best efforts to persuade them to do, say and be what we want, they persist in overturn our plans by making their own decisions, being their own people and thinking their own thoughts.
One can waste hours spiraling (纠结) about others’ behavior. Why weren’t we included in that meeting at work? Why did that stranger cut us off in traffic? Every time you are about to start obsessing over someone else’s actions, remember: let them!
The concept was recently popularized by motivational speaker Mel Robbins. “I just heard about this thing called the Let Them theory,” she told her millions of followers in an Instagram post in May 2023. “I love it.” The video quickly went viral. People got “Let Them” tattoos. In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.”
There are some important caveats to the theory, according to Robbins. She argues, “let them” only works if it is followed by “let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. Accepting that we can’t control other people’s actions is a reminder that we are entirely responsible for our own. You are not responsible for someone cutting you off in traffic, but you are responsible for responding with patience and courtesy, rather than with anger and harsh words.
Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, “let them”. Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. Second, you must always advocate for yourself and what you need — negotiate a higher salary, for example, or insist on getting the medical care you need. Finally, if someone continually violates your boundaries, you should not “let them” do that, Robbins says.
The “let them” concept is not without its critics. People have argued that the theory is Stoicism repackaged. Others have criticized Robbins for not crediting poet Cassie B.Phillips, whose poem Let Them went viral in 2022. Robbins herself acknowledges this. As an author, podcaster and former lawyer, she is not a mental health professional. But experts agree that giving up on trying to control the behaviors and actions of others can be hugely beneficial — not only for yourself, but for the people around you as well.
The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying “let them” prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. Annoying! But also liberating. It’s a reminder that it’s OK to step back, let people be who they are, and stop carrying things that aren’t ours to carry.
66.What can we learn from Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory?
A.It was published in the year 2023.
B.It received wide media and public recognition.
C.It was written in the form of a podcast.
D.It was based on Oprah’s personal experience.
67.The underlined word “caveats” in Paragraph 4 can be explained as ________.
A.restrictions and boundaries of application
B.remarkable benefits and positive effects
C.detailed interpretations and further analyses
D.typical instances and practical illustrations
68.Which of the following is against The Let Them theory according to Robbins?
A.Mind your own behavior when annoyed by strangers.
B.Stay silent when witnessing unfair discrimination.
C.Fight for your deserved salary and medical care.
D.Refuse to tolerate others’ repeated boundary violations.
69.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A.It takes little time to get rid of negative emotions.
B.The Let Them theory is not perfect but meaningful.
C.We can control both our own actions and others’.
D.The phrase “let them” can solve all life problems
70.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To introduce and comment on a popular life philosophy.
B.To persuade readers to accept others’ mistakes.
C.To criticize Mel Robbins’ new book.
D.To explain how to control one’s emotions.

【导语】文章聚焦“Let Them理论”,从流行背景、核心内涵、应用边界到争议评价进行全面阐述。
【详解】66.细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的句子In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.”(2024年12月,罗宾斯出版了《Let Them理论》一书。这本书成为了《纽约时报》畅销书。美国有线电视新闻网和《纽约时报》采访了罗宾斯。甚至奥普拉也在她的播客中谈到了这本书,说:“这本书改变了游戏规则,也改变了人生”)”可知,这本书受到了广泛的媒体和公众认可。
67.词句猜测题。根据文章第四段中的句子“She argues, “let them’ only works if it is followed by ‘let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. (她认为,“随他们去”只有在后面加上“随自己去”才有效。换句话说,这不是不作为的借口。)”以及第五段中的句子“Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, ‘let them’. (此外,在某些情况下,无论如何你都不应该“随他们去”。)”可知,这里是在说明该理论的使用限制和应用边界,所以caveats的意思是“应用的限制和边界”。
68.细节理解题。根据文章第五段中的句子“Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. (罗宾斯在一期播客中解释说,如果有人想要做危险的事情,或者你看到有人受到歧视,这个理论就不适用。她说,在这种情况下,你必须大声说出来。)”可知,当目睹不公平的歧视时保持沉默是违背该理论的。
69.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的句子“The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying ‘let them’ prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. (这句话不是万能药。人们感受到的任何情绪都需要时间才能消散。但说“随他们去”可以防止我们做出反应。它给我们空间停下来提醒自己,我们能控制的只有自己的行为。)”可推断出,Let Them理论并不完美,但很有意义。
70.推理判断题。文章首先介绍了“Let Them理论”的流行情况,接着阐述了该理论的内涵、应用的限制和边界,还提到了对该理论的批评,最后对该理论进行了评价。所以作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍并评论一种流行的生活哲学。

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,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
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.
71.What does the example of “making eye contact with shoes and excusing himself” show about the author’s personality? (no more than 10 words)
72.What does the underlined word “tenderizing” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean? (1 word)
73.How do people expect to be treated by others according to para. 4? (no more than 10 words)
74.What is the essential difference between diminishers and illuminators in the way they treat and judge others? (no more than 15 words)
75.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】71.He is a bit detached and a practiced escape artist. 72.Polishing/Shaping/Refining. 73.They hope to be looked at with love and acceptance. 74.Diminishers judge casually by stereotypes and assumptions while illuminators understand others with curiosity and respect. 75.
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。
【详解】71.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。
72.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。
73.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。
74.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。
75.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。

A Day in My Future Home
Good morning, I’d like to share my vision of a day in my future home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
That’s all for my sharing. Thank you!
【答案】
A Day in My Future Home
Good morning, I’d like to share my vision of a day in my future home.
First, my future home will be very smart. For example, devices will control the lights and temperature automatically to make me feel comfortable. For entertainment, I can watch movies with VR, which will make me feel like I am inside the movie. This is very different from my life now, where I have to turn things on and off by myself and I only have a regular TV or phone.
Second, my kitchen will help me eat better. A smart assistant will suggest healthy meals based on my needs and cook them quickly. In contrast, I often eat unhealthy fast food now because I am too busy and have no time to cook.
In my opinion, these changes will make my life much easier and healthier. I will have more time to relax and do what I love. A future home like this is not just about technology; it is about helping me live a happier life.
That’s all for my sharing. Thank you!

Twenty years ago, I joined a hiking club, not realizing that this decision would quietly 31 my life. What began as getting outdoors and exploring local hikes 32 a passport stamped with adventures around the world.
Like many new hikers, I joined for 33 reasons: motivation to stay active, explore nature and make friends. What I found, however, were fellow hikers who shared trail (徒步路线) knowledge, life stories and an 34 enthusiasm for travel. Conversations sometimes 35 toward overseas experiences and gradually planted seeds. Before long, I began to see a way to 36 my desire to maintain fitness and explore the world. It was challenging at first, as I was still working full-time, and could only 37 once a year. Nevertheless, I managed to 38 short vacations and visited many striking places.
Each subsequent trip brought fresh 39 and helped strengthen my willpower. I learned to navigate routes, something I once thought impossible, 40 unexpected situations and communicate with people from different cultures.
I also managed to persuade my husband to 41 me to Northern England. We stayed in inviting inns, passing through rolling hills and ancient villages, 42 by the beautiful scenery.
Then we booked a tour to South America where we explored Patagonia. This was perhaps the most 43 of them all, with its towering peaks, fierce winds and interesting wildlife viewing. Even though our itinerary (行程表) 44 bus travel to take us from one hiking destination to another, we were required to travel on foot, dragging our suitcases behind us. It certainly 45 an experience none of us will ever forget.
Along the way, my growing love of active travel led to even more adventures. These journeys 46 physical challenge with cultural immersion. Hiking friends also introduced me to backpacking, and a new passion 47 . What stands out most is how a hiking club served as a catalyst (催化剂). It did more than maintain trails; it fostered a sense of 48 and joy.
Looking back, I may have joined for fitness and fresh air, but I stayed for the people. Through organized activities and shared 49 , club members learn not only about the trails beneath their feet but also about themselves. One trail led to another, and before I knew it, the path 50 across countries and continents. All it took was that first step.
31.A.transfer B.reshape C.claim D.bother
32.A.picked up B.got across C.grew into D.tuned in

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent (青春期的) male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.
Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations (计算).
What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class, I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.
When Mrs. Totten reached my desk, she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I... I didn’t get anything,” I answered, and my face felt warm.
“Correct,” she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third, I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.
56.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?
A.It is wise to value one’s time.
B.It is enough to do the necessary.
C.It is right to stick to one’s belief.
D.It is important to make an effort.
57.Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her students to ________.

C.several students didn’t come to school
D.Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class

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.
61.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.
62.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.
63.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.
64.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.
65.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

Is there anything more frustrating than other people? Despite our best efforts to persuade them to do, say and be what we want, they persist in overturn our plans by making their own decisions, being their own people and thinking their own thoughts.
One can waste hours spiraling (纠结) about others’ behavior. Why weren’t we included in that meeting at work? Why did that stranger cut us off in traffic? Every time you are about to start obsessing over someone else’s actions, remember: let them!
The concept was recently popularized by motivational speaker Mel Robbins. “I just heard about this thing called the Let Them theory,” she told her millions of followers in an Instagram post in May 2023. “I love it.” The video quickly went viral. People got “Let Them” tattoos. In December 2024, Robbins released a book, The Let Them Theory. It became a New York Times bestseller. CNN and the New York Times interviewed Robbins. Even Oprah talked about it on her podcast (播客), saying: “This book is a game-changer. It’s a life-changer.”
There are some important caveats to the theory, according to Robbins. She argues, “let them” only works if it is followed by “let me”. In other words, it is not an excuse for inaction. Accepting that we can’t control other people’s actions is a reminder that we are entirely responsible for our own. You are not responsible for someone cutting you off in traffic, but you are responsible for responding with patience and courtesy, rather than with anger and harsh words.
Also, there are certain situations in which you should not, under any circumstance, “let them”. Robbins explained in a podcast episode that the theory does not apply if someone wants to do something dangerous or if you see someone being discriminated against. In those cases, she says, you must speak up. Second, you must always advocate for yourself and what you need — negotiate a higher salary, for example, or insist on getting the medical care you need. Finally, if someone continually violates your boundaries, you should not “let them” do that, Robbins says.
The “let them” concept is not without its critics. People have argued that the theory is Stoicism repackaged. Others have criticized Robbins for not crediting poet Cassie B.Phillips, whose poem Let Them went viral in 2022. Robbins herself acknowledges this. As an author, podcaster and former lawyer, she is not a mental health professional. But experts agree that giving up on trying to control the behaviors and actions of others can be hugely beneficial — not only for yourself, but for the people around you as well.
The phrase is not a panacea (万能药). It still takes time for whatever emotion people are feeling to pass. But saying “let them” prevents us from being reactive. It gives us space to pause and remind ourselves that our own actions are all we can control. Annoying! But also liberating. It’s a reminder that it’s OK to step back, let people be who they are, and stop carrying things that aren’t ours to carry.
66.What can we learn from Mel Robbins’ book The Let Them Theory?
A.It was published in the year 2023.
B.It received wide media and public recognition.
C.It was written in the form of a podcast.
D.It was based on Oprah’s personal experience.
67.The underlined word “caveats” in Paragraph 4 can be explained as ________.
A.restrictions and boundaries of application
B.remarkable benefits and positive effects
C.detailed interpretations and further analyses
D.typical instances and practical illustrations
68.Which of the following is against The Let Them theory according to Robbins?
A.Mind your own behavior when annoyed by strangers.
B.Stay silent when witnessing unfair discrimination.
C.Fight for your deserved salary and medical care.
D.Refuse to tolerate others’ repeated boundary violations.
69.What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A.It takes little time to get rid of negative emotions.
B.The Let Them theory is not perfect but meaningful.
C.We can control both our own actions and others’.
D.The phrase “let them” can solve all life problems
70.What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To introduce and comment on a popular life philosophy.
B.To persuade readers to accept others’ mistakes.
C.To criticize Mel Robbins’ new book.
D.To explain how to control one’s emotions.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容完成下列各题。
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.
71.What does the example of “making eye contact with shoes and excusing himself” show about the author’s personality? (no more than 10 words)
