The National Gallery has launched a new exhibition called Art on Your Doorstep, taking life-sized versions of some masterpieces to communities around the UK. This project works with organisations across the UK to help share masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square. It will be reaching all four nations of the UK, travelling to a total of 12 partners. The National Gallery offers up to 30 printed reproductions of masterpieces from its collection each time.
The first exhibition started in Stoke-on-Trent on 4 June 2025. Fifteen printed masterpieces were installed in an outdoor exhibition in Bethesda Gardens, opposite The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, as part of the city’s Centenary celebrations. Right now the free outdoor exhibition is running in Croydon, London.
In each location, the local community has helped choose the paintings to be displayed. Croydon’s exhibition features 30 paintings. Caterina Loriggio, who works on cultural events in Croydon, said that they ran workshops with residents to choose the artworks. The workshops asked questions such as “Which painting reminds you of Croydon?”, and residents chose from different paintings for their answer. Loriggio said, “What was interesting was how many people chose the same things.”
Every year, the National Gallery partners with organisations and audiences across the UK in a range of different and innovative ways. They want to ensure that everyone in the UK can engage with their national collection. Over the past years they have partnered with a number of organisations through a range of projects including their flagship Masterpiece Tour, contemporary Artist-in-Residence programme, National Treasures, Visits tour and Take One Picture programme.
21. Why did The National Gallery start the project?
A. To inspire innovation. B. To seek potential partners.
C. To build community pride. D. To popularize its collection.
22. How were the paintings for Croydon selected?
A. By the painters. B. Through online voting.
C. By art professionals. D. Through local workshops.
23. Where is this text most probably taken from?
A. A museum newsletter. B. A travel handbook.
C. An art research paper. D. A community notice.

Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) hopped into my life in an unexpected place. As a young boy of eight or nine, I peered impatiently through the kitchen window into the backyard, waiting for the rain to stop so I might escape my tame suburban home to a wilder place where I could watch more than American Robins (知更鸟).
Suddenly, a bird caught my attention. As it bounced closer, the bright red mustache, and veins of orange on the tail and wings revealed it was a male woodpecker! With what seemed like an explosion of red feathers, he was gone. From that moment on, I read everything I could about woodpeckers. Instantly I became a woodpecker enthusiast.
Since that day, the call of the woodpecker has led me on many journeys from my backyard to distant continents and inspired me to rise before the sun so that their syncopated (切分节奏的) drumming might allow me to find them, follow them, and learn about their mysterious lives before they disappear back into the trees. My fascination has only grown over the years as I noticed that no matter where I was in North America, as long as there were large trees and surrounding natural landscape, there was at least one species of woodpecker to trigger my wonder at the richness around me and the woodpecker’s role in enhancing it.
My book Woodpecker contains an exploration of the lives of the forty-one species of woodpeckers in North America. In telling the stories of these woodpeckers, I focus my lens, narrative, and anecdotes on the species and behaviors that are most representative, while also highlighting interesting exceptions and contrasts. I hope that by sharing intimate images and stories from the more secreted moments of their life histories, I can motivate people to better appreciate their critical role in enhancing our natural world and perhaps inspire the long-term protection of these birds and the habitats that they rely upon.
24. What do we know about the author from paragraph 1?
A. He was bored of bird-watching. B. He hated leaving his suburban home.
C. He longed to see more varied wildlife. D. He loved American Robins very much.
25. The author’s fascination with woodpeckers began with ______.
A. his determination to make a change B. a single, unexpected childhood sighting
C. some research on their beautiful feathers D. books that introduced him to woodpeckers
26. Why has the author’s love for woodpeckers grown?
A. They lead him to many different places.
B. Their distinctive sounds have amazed him.
C. They enable him to uncover the world’s mysteries.
D. Their widespread presence helps him see nature’s richness.
27. What is the key strength of the author’s book?
A. It centers on rare woodpecker species.
B. It covers all woodpecker species in detail.
C. It reveals the threats to woodpeckers’ survival.
D. It features typical species and interesting exceptions.
C
According to YouGov, 88% of Americans have positive feelings about French fries. In short: People love them. However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution.
Instead of asking people to give up fries altogether, some scientists are exploring whether the way they’re cooked could make a meaningful difference. In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”.
It helps to first understand what happens to fries when they’re prepared the traditional way. As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside. Think about a straw in a drink. If you suck on the straw, the liquid moves upward. Now, imagine food materials have lots of tiny straws. When there is positive pressure, the oil stays out. But if there is negative pressure, the oil starts moving in.
As much as 90% of the frying process occurs under this negative pressure. But microwaving may be able to assist in this particular part of the process. When we heat something in a conventional oven, the heat moves from outside to inside. But a microwave oven heats from the inside out. The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透).
But microwaving alone won’t cook the fries the way we know and love. “If you just use microwave frying, your food turns out too soft.” Takhar said. “To obtain crispiness (松脆), you need conventional heating. Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit. Conventional heating maintains the crispiness, while microwave heating lowers the oil intake.” The best news is that restaurants may not need new equipment. Existing large commercial fryers can be upgraded with affordable, widely available microwave generators.
28. What are scientists trying to improve about fries?
A. Their taste. B. Their kitchen popularity.
C. Their health effects. D. Their cooking equipment.
29. Which is the correct order of the traditional frying process?
① Oil entry. ② Water loss. ③ Negative pressure. ④ Pocket formation.
A. ① → ③ → ② → ④ B. ② → ④ → ③ → ①
C. ② → ① → ④ → ③ D. ③ → ④ → ② → ①
30. How do microwaves reduce oil intake?
A. By increasing pressure. B. By drying water faster.
C. By creating holes within. D. By heating from outside in.
31. What can be inferred about the new method?
A. It is a two-in-one method. B. It remains hard to test.
C. It needs costly equipment. D. It has been widely used.
D
Slop is a new way to describe mass-produced, low-quality content. The term comes from artificial intelligence. Developer Simon Willison shared the concept: “Not all AI-generated content is slop. But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.” Today slop’s critical tone is increasingly aimed at all things AI, treating it as a cultural pollutant. But by unthinkingly dismissing all of it, we risk missing out on the minority of creations that are keepers.
Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history. One notable slop moment came after Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press in Europe. The device — the ChatGPT of the 1450s — allowed the mass production of cheap printed material. Some of this material was nonsense, but much of it entertained and educated the masses. In the early 1700s, a growing reading public created steady demand for text, giving rise to Grub Street — the slop generator of its time. People laughed at Grub Street even as its writers built the first modern freelance (自由职业) economy and mass-print culture. The 20th-century cinema boom followed a similar pattern. Production demands produced a lot of rubbish, but this effort also developed the motion-picture industry’s foundation.
In all of these situations, the point wasn’t to create masterpieces; it was to create rapidly and cheaply. But the production of new types of slop allows more people to participate. The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero, while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive burden. So we must identify and take advantage of what stands out so that we can better discourage what doesn’t. The word “slop” helps us do that when it is used correctly.
Calling everything worthless is a misguided attempt to dam the flood rather than channel it. If “culture is ordinary,” then the ordinary act of making on a large scale will always include waste. But it’ll also produce the seeds of the next thing we’ll decide to keep.
32. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is an example of “slop”?
A. A novel written by ChatGPT upon request.
B. A historical essay printed by a modern publisher.
C. A low-budget film made by a famous filmmaker.
D. An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone.
33. What do the examples in paragraph 2 illustrate?
A. History is sometimes unreliable.
B. Mass culture received wide criticism.
C. Mass culture has long been a complex issue.
D. Technological advances underwent a difficult process.
34. What has fueled today’s slop boom?
A. Lower production costs. B. Better digital access.
C. Faster information flow. D. Public demand for AI.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Slop in AI: A Growing Problem B. Mass Production: Past and Future
C. Slop in History: An Art Phenomenon D. The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks. ____36____ But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how.
● Crying relieves stress.
Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings. ____37____ Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state.
● ____38____
You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort.
● Crying strengthens bonds.
When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.” ____39____ And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection.
● Crying helps us get what we want.
Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor. ____40____ Even if we don’t mean to control others, our crying may have the result of easing anger and making others feel guilty or more willing to bend to our will.
A. Crying boosts mood.
B. Crying lets you release emotions in private.
C. Sometimes, you just need to let the tears flow.
D. Why do we cry when we’re sad (and sometimes happy)?
E. Crying is, therefore, a signal that we feel close to someone.
F. So, it may take a while before crying makes you feel better.
G. Anyone who’s ever cried after getting pulled over for speeding knows that.

As chief economist at the Bank of England, Andy Haldane knew that data and models could never provide the depth of ____41____ he needed for important decisions. So he made a point of ____42____ the streets of the City of London, seeking conversations quite different from those ____43____ at the bank. Hanging out with community workers and faith groups ____44____ what he would never have had at his desk. “Trying to make sense of what I saw and heard, I found myself relying more on ____45____ than statistics,” he says.
The wealth of ____46____ from hanging out encouraged Haldane to ____47____, bringing many different ____48____ into the Bank of England. Bringing in such diverse ____49____ as Tamara Rojo from the English National Ballet and artist Grayson Perry sparked very different conversations.
The benefit of connecting with people very different from ourselves ____50____ gaining a broader perspective. Starting a meeting ____51____ of its outcome, and leaving with a mind on fire with ways of thinking, is a(n) ____52____ experience. “It may mean that I now dare to embrace an idea even when I have no idea where it will lead. That is how ____53____ begins,” Andy says.
But why are these habits of mind not taken more ____54____? Because they may not look or feel like work at all. But as the filmmaker Mike Leigh says: “Nothing happening is something happening.” And it’s what his next movie ____55____ from.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up before there were cellphones. I look on in wonder as seemingly everyone is focused on their devices. I know I can’t change what the world has become. But as a college teacher, I can shape my classroom.
When it comes to cellphones, I’ve learned that one cannot be tough on students using them in class. I once had a colleague who tried this, threatening punishment for violators. The rest of her semester was, in a word, unhappy. But neither do I think it productive to take a hands-off (放手不管的) attitude toward students who are texting friends while the poor teacher labors, ignored, at the blackboard. I knew a math professor who tried this approach. One day, I asked some of his students who their math teacher was. Their response: “Some guy.”
Both examples suggested that there must be a middle way. So I came up with one. On the first day of class, I struck a friendly but purposeful tone, telling my students, “If I catch you looking at your phone during the class discussion, you must call your parents right then and there on speakerphone (免提) and tell them that you love them.” I delivered this with a twinkle in my eye, and my students chuckled good-naturedly. Then I followed up with my end of the bargain: “This means whenever you speak to me, I promise to give you my full attention.”
When delivered in a caring but serious way, my students are on board. Well, mostly. There’s always an exception.
His name was Paul Davis. He liked to test the waters of classroom norms (准则), like coming to class in his pajama bottoms and slippers. One day, during a lively class discussion, I caught Paul typing on his phone.
“Excuse me,” I interrupted. “Are you texting?”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paul looked up from his phone.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mr. Davis’s voice came through on speakerphone, sounding quite surprised.

The National Gallery has launched a new exhibition called Art on Your Doorstep, taking life-sized versions of some masterpieces to communities around the UK. This project works with organisations across the UK to help share masterpieces from the nation’s collection with communities beyond Trafalgar Square. It will be reaching all four nations of the UK, travelling to a total of 12 partners. The National Gallery offers up to 30 printed reproductions of masterpieces from its collection each time.
The first exhibition started in Stoke-on-Trent on 4 June 2025. Fifteen printed masterpieces were installed in an outdoor exhibition in Bethesda Gardens, opposite The Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, as part of the city’s Centenary celebrations. Right now the free outdoor exhibition is running in Croydon, London.
In each location, the local community has helped choose the paintings to be displayed. Croydon’s exhibition features 30 paintings. Caterina Loriggio, who works on cultural events in Croydon, said that they ran workshops with residents to choose the artworks. The workshops asked questions such as “Which painting reminds you of Croydon?”, and residents chose from different paintings for their answer. Loriggio said, “What was interesting was how many people chose the same things.”
Every year, the National Gallery partners with organisations and audiences across the UK in a range of different and innovative ways. They want to ensure that everyone in the UK can engage with their national collection. Over the past years they have partnered with a number of organisations through a range of projects including their flagship Masterpiece Tour, contemporary Artist-in-Residence programme, National Treasures, Visits tour and Take One Picture programme.
21. Why did The National Gallery start the project?
A. To inspire innovation. B. To seek potential partners.
C. To build community pride. D. To popularize its collection.
22. How were the paintings for Croydon selected?
A. By the painters. B. Through online voting.

Woodpeckers (啄木鸟) hopped into my life in an unexpected place. As a young boy of eight or nine, I peered impatiently through the kitchen window into the backyard, waiting for the rain to stop so I might escape my tame suburban home to a wilder place where I could watch more than American Robins (知更鸟).
Suddenly, a bird caught my attention. As it bounced closer, the bright red mustache, and veins of orange on the tail and wings revealed it was a male woodpecker! With what seemed like an explosion of red feathers, he was gone. From that moment on, I read everything I could about woodpeckers. Instantly I became a woodpecker enthusiast.
Since that day, the call of the woodpecker has led me on many journeys from my backyard to distant continents and inspired me to rise before the sun so that their syncopated (切分节奏的) drumming might allow me to find them, follow them, and learn about their mysterious lives before they disappear back into the trees. My fascination has only grown over the years as I noticed that no matter where I was in North America, as long as there were large trees and surrounding natural landscape, there was at least one species of woodpecker to trigger my wonder at the richness around me and the woodpecker’s role in enhancing it.
My book Woodpecker contains an exploration of the lives of the forty-one species of woodpeckers in North America. In telling the stories of these woodpeckers, I focus my lens, narrative, and anecdotes on the species and behaviors that are most representative, while also highlighting interesting exceptions and contrasts. I hope that by sharing intimate images and stories from the more secreted moments of their life histories, I can motivate people to better appreciate their critical role in enhancing our natural world and perhaps inspire the long-term protection of these birds and the habitats that they rely upon.

According to YouGov, 88% of Americans have positive feelings about French fries. In short: People love them. However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution.
Instead of asking people to give up fries altogether, some scientists are exploring whether the way they’re cooked could make a meaningful difference. In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”.
It helps to first understand what happens to fries when they’re prepared the traditional way. As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside. Think about a straw in a drink. If you suck on the straw, the liquid moves upward. Now, imagine food materials have lots of tiny straws. When there is positive pressure, the oil stays out. But if there is negative pressure, the oil starts moving in.
As much as 90% of the frying process occurs under this negative pressure. But microwaving may be able to assist in this particular part of the process. When we heat something in a conventional oven, the heat moves from outside to inside. But a microwave oven heats from the inside out. The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透).
But microwaving alone won’t cook the fries the way we know and love. “If you just use microwave frying, your food turns out too soft.” Takhar said. “To obtain crispiness (松脆), you need conventional heating. Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit. Conventional heating maintains the crispiness, while microwave heating lowers the oil intake.” The best news is that restaurants may not need new equipment. Existing large commercial fryers can be upgraded with affordable, widely available microwave generators.
28. What are scientists trying to improve about fries?
A. Their taste. B. Their kitchen popularity.
C. Their health effects. D. Their cooking equipment.
29. Which is the correct order of the traditional frying process?
① Oil entry. ② Water loss. ③ Negative pressure. ④ Pocket formation.
A. ① → ③ → ② → ④ B. ② → ④ → ③ → ①
C. ② → ① → ④ → ③ D. ③ → ④ → ② → ①
30. How do microwaves reduce oil intake?
A. By increasing pressure. B. By drying water faster.
C. By creating holes within. D. By heating from outside in.
31. What can be inferred about the new method?
A. It is a two-in-one method. B. It remains hard to test.
C. It needs costly equipment. D. It has been widely used.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. A

【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“However, this delicious side dish is also clearly not-so-great for you. But hold on, fry lovers — researchers may have found a potential solution.(不过,这道美味的配菜显然对你来说也不太理想。但等等,油炸食品爱好者们——研究人员或许找到了一个潜在的解决方案)”以及第二段“In 2025, researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign published their findings on creating a better-for-you French fry, using a technique called “microwave frying”.(2025年,伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的研究人员发表了一项研究结果,提出了一种名为“微波油炸”的技术,用于制作更健康的薯条)”可知,科学家们试图改善薯条的健康影响。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“As the potato heats up, the water inside it begins to evaporate (蒸发). This, however, leaves behind tiny pockets, which then create a force pulling the oil inside.(当土豆加热时,内部的水分开始蒸发。然而,这会留下微小的空隙,从而产生一个向内拉扯油分的力量)”可知,顺序为:失水→形成小孔→负压产生→油脂渗入。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The higher pressure in microwaves helps reduce oil penetration (渗透).(微波中的更高压力有助于减少油的渗透)”可知,微波通过增加压力减少油的摄入。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefore, we propose combining the two approaches in the same unit.(因此,我们建议在同一装置中结合这两种方法)”可知,新方法是一种二合一的方法。

Slop is a new way to describe mass-produced, low-quality content. The term comes from artificial intelligence. Developer Simon Willison shared the concept: “Not all AI-generated content is slop. But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.” Today slop’s critical tone is increasingly aimed at all things AI, treating it as a cultural pollutant. But by unthinkingly dismissing all of it, we risk missing out on the minority of creations that are keepers.
Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history. One notable slop moment came after Johannes Gutenberg invented the movable-type printing press in Europe. The device — the ChatGPT of the 1450s — allowed the mass production of cheap printed material. Some of this material was nonsense, but much of it entertained and educated the masses. In the early 1700s, a growing reading public created steady demand for text, giving rise to Grub Street — the slop generator of its time. People laughed at Grub Street even as its writers built the first modern freelance (自由职业) economy and mass-print culture. The 20th-century cinema boom followed a similar pattern. Production demands produced a lot of rubbish, but this effort also developed the motion-picture industry’s foundation.
In all of these situations, the point wasn’t to create masterpieces; it was to create rapidly and cheaply. But the production of new types of slop allows more people to participate. The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero, while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive burden. So we must identify and take advantage of what stands out so that we can better discourage what doesn’t. The word “slop” helps us do that when it is used correctly.
Calling everything worthless is a misguided attempt to dam the flood rather than channel it. If “culture is ordinary,” then the ordinary act of making on a large scale will always include waste. But it’ll also produce the seeds of the next thing we’ll decide to keep.
32. According to paragraph 1, which of the following is an example of “slop”?
A. A novel written by ChatGPT upon request.
B. A historical essay printed by a modern publisher.
C. A low-budget film made by a famous filmmaker.
D. An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone.
33. What do the examples in paragraph 2 illustrate?
A. History is sometimes unreliable.
B. Mass culture received wide criticism.
C. Mass culture has long been a complex issue.
D. Technological advances underwent a difficult process.
34. What has fueled today’s slop boom?
A. Lower production costs. B. Better digital access.
C. Faster information flow. D. Public demand for AI.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Slop in AI: A Growing Problem B. Mass Production: Past and Future
C. Slop in History: An Art Phenomenon D. The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要围绕“slop”(低质量、大批量生产的内容)这一概念展开讨论,分析了其在历史上的类似现象以及当今AI时代的特点,最终指出“slop”并非全无价值,其中也可能孕育出值得保留的精华。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段第三、四句“Developer Simon Willison shared the concept: “Not all AI-generated content is slop. But if it’s mindlessly generated and forced upon someone who didn’t ask for it, slop is the perfect term.” (开发者西蒙·威利森分享了这一概念:“并非所有AI生成的内容都是slop。但如果它是被无脑地生成,并强加给一个并未主动索取的人,那么slop就是最贴切的词。”)”可知,构成“slop”需要同时满足两个条件,一是由AI生成,二是未经索取而被强行推送。D选项“An AI-generated poem that pops up on your phone. (手机上弹出来的一首AI生成的诗。)”符合这两个条件,它由AI生成,且以弹出形式强行推送给用户。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段首句“Mass-produced culture has a long, messy history. (大批量生产的文化有着漫长而杂乱的历史。)”可知,本段的核心观点是“批量生产文化”并非新现象,而是由来已久。随后作者列举了三个历史例子:15世纪古腾堡印刷机带来的廉价印刷品、18世纪格拉布街催生的大众文本生产、20世纪的电影繁荣。作者在描述每个例子时都指出,这些现象既产生了大量“垃圾”,也推动了相关产业的发展。这表明批量生产文化一直是“复杂议题”,既有弊端也有贡献。C选项“Mass culture has long been a complex issue. (大众文化长期以来都是一个复杂议题。)”准确概括了本段例子的共同主旨。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“The current wave of AI-generated slop raises the risks because the cost for those making slop has collapsed to near zero, while the cost for other people is high in terms of cognitive burden. (当前这波AI生成的slop加大了风险,因为制造slop的人的成本已骤降至接近于零,而对其他人来说,其认知负担方面的成本却很高。)”可知,当前slop激增的直接原因是制造slop的成本大幅降低。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段引入“slop”概念并指出一概否定会让我们错过其中的精华;第二段通过历史例证说明大批量生产文化中“糟粕与精华并存”是长期存在的现象;第三段分析AI时代slop成本趋零的新特点,但强调要识别并利用其中脱颖而出的内容;第四段总结批量制造必然包含废弃物,但也可能产生值得保留的种子。全文的核心观点始终围绕“slop究竟是垃圾还是宝藏”这一辩证关系展开,既承认其消极面,又提示其中可能蕴含积极价值。D选项“The Slop Cycle: Trash or Treasure? (Slop循环:垃圾还是宝藏?)”准确概括了这一核心议题。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks. ____36____ But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how.
● Crying relieves stress.
Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings. ____37____ Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state.
● ____38____
You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort.
● Crying strengthens bonds.
When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.” ____39____ And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection.
● Crying helps us get what we want.
Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor. ____40____ Even if we don’t mean to control others, our crying may have the result of easing anger and making others feel guilty or more willing to bend to our will.
A. Crying boosts mood.
B. Crying lets you release emotions in private.
C. Sometimes, you just need to let the tears flow.
D. Why do we cry when we’re sad (and sometimes happy)?
E. Crying is, therefore, a signal that we feel close to someone.
F. So, it may take a while before crying makes you feel better.
G. Anyone who’s ever cried after getting pulled over for speeding knows that.
【答案】36. C 37. D 38. A 39. E 40. G
【解析】
【导语】主要说明了感人影片、悲喜大事都能让人落泪,哭泣可减压、改善情绪、拉近人际,还能促使他人让步,对身心有多方面影响。
【36题详解】
根据上文“Touching movies, stressful events at home or work, and even good news like a wedding or a baby might bring on the waterworks.(感人的电影、家庭或工作中的压力事件,甚至像婚礼或新生儿这样的好消息,都可能引发情绪波动)”以及后文“But you might not know that crying can have a big effect on your body and mind — here’s how.(但你可能不知道,哭泣会对你的身体和心理产生重大影响——具体是这样)”可知,第一段开头提到多种场景都会引发哭泣,空后转折指出人们大多不了解哭泣对身心的好处,C项“有时候你就是需要让眼泪流出来”符合上下文衔接。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Humans are the only species to weep from emotions, but scientists still don’t know exactly how the physical act of crying is connected to our feelings.(人类是唯一会因情绪而流泪的物种,但科学家至今仍不清楚哭泣这一物理行为与我们的情感之间究竟存在怎样的联系)”以及后文“Maybe it helps relieve the physical tension of feeling upset. In other words, crying occurs as our body returns from an aroused “fight or flight” state to a calm “rest and digest” state.(也许这有助于缓解因情绪低落而产生的身体紧张。换句话说,哭泣是身体从被唤醒的“战斗或逃跑”状态恢复到平静的“休息与消化”状态时的一种表现)”可知,第二段提到科学家尚不清楚哭泣和情绪的具体关联,空后给出“哭泣帮助缓解情绪紧张”的可能解释,D项“为什么我们悲伤时、有时开心也会哭?”引出问题衔接后文解释。
【38题详解】
根据后文“You might think that crying would make you feel better if it means your stress is relieved — it does, sometimes. “In surveys about two-thirds of people generally report feeling better after crying,” says Jonathan Rottenberg, a professor at the University of South Florida. In many cases, however, the better mood after having cried is the consequence of receiving emotional support and comfort.(你可能会认为,如果哭泣意味着压力得到了缓解,那么哭泣会让你感觉更好——有时确实如此。南佛罗里达大学教授乔纳森·罗滕伯格表示:“在调查中,三分之二的人普遍报告称,哭泣后心情变好了”然而,在许多情况下,哭泣后情绪好转其实是由于获得了情感支持和安慰的结果)”可知,第三段整段内容围绕“哭泣后大多人会感觉更好、改善心情”展开,A项“哭泣提升情绪”符合段落小标题要求。
【39题详解】
根据上文“When we communicate with others through tears, we are revealing our own vulnerability (脆弱). “With supportive people, it can create an increased feeling of bonding and connection,” Dr. Orloff says. “You trust the person enough to cry around them.”(当我们通过泪水与他人交流时,实际上是在展现自身的脆弱。“在有支持性的人身边,人们会感受到更强的联结和亲密感,”奥罗夫博士说,“你信任对方到足以在他们身边哭泣。”)”以及后文“And this can promote an empathetic response and an emotional connection.(这可以促进共情反应和情感联结)”可知,第四段提到“只有足够信任对方才会在对方面前哭泣”,空后指出这能促进情绪连接,E项“因此,哭泣是我们对对方心存亲近的信号”用therefore衔接前文逻辑,引出下文。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Tears can be a way to cause a specific reaction that works in our favor.(泪水可能是一种引发特定反应的方式,而这种反应对我们有利)”可知,第五段提到“眼泪是帮我们获得对自己有利反应的方式”,G项用“超速被交警拦截后哭泣的人都懂这个道理”举实例衔接观点。

【答案】Dear George,
I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve begun your six-month exchange program here in China. While you must be excited about your new life here, it’s only natural to feel a little overwhelmed by cultural differences. Many exchange students go through the exact same thing.
If you ever feel awkward or confused because of cultural gaps, don’t hesitate to open up about your true feelings. This will help others understand you better and ease your discomfort. You may also consider exploring the city center with friends on weekends. Taste local food or strike up conversations with locals. Most of them are warm-hearted and willing to answer your questions or listen to your stories.
I believe you will gradually get used to the new environment. If you ever need support, just write to me.
All the best,
Li Hua

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I grew up before there were cellphones. I look on in wonder as seemingly everyone is focused on their devices. I know I can’t change what the world has become. But as a college teacher, I can shape my classroom.
When it comes to cellphones, I’ve learned that one cannot be tough on students using them in class. I once had a colleague who tried this, threatening punishment for violators. The rest of her semester was, in a word, unhappy. But neither do I think it productive to take a hands-off (放手不管的) attitude toward students who are texting friends while the poor teacher labors, ignored, at the blackboard. I knew a math professor who tried this approach. One day, I asked some of his students who their math teacher was. Their response: “Some guy.”
Both examples suggested that there must be a middle way. So I came up with one. On the first day of class, I struck a friendly but purposeful tone, telling my students, “If I catch you looking at your phone during the class discussion, you must call your parents right then and there on speakerphone (免提) and tell them that you love them.” I delivered this with a twinkle in my eye, and my students chuckled good-naturedly. Then I followed up with my end of the bargain: “This means whenever you speak to me, I promise to give you my full attention.”
When delivered in a caring but serious way, my students are on board. Well, mostly. There’s always an exception.
His name was Paul Davis. He liked to test the waters of classroom norms (准则), like coming to class in his pajama bottoms and slippers. One day, during a lively class discussion, I caught Paul typing on his phone.
“Excuse me,” I interrupted. “Are you texting?”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Paul looked up from his phone.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mr. Davis’s voice came through on speakerphone, sounding quite surprised.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
Paul looked up from his phone. He got a little startled, then shrugged casually, claiming it was just a short text message. Curious classmates turned their heads, waiting to see what would happen next. I smiled gently and reminded him of our classroom rule. Soft laughter filled the classroom, and several classmates encouraged him to make the call. Paul’s face turned red with embarrassment. He hesitated for a while yet found no way to avoid it. Finally, he dialed his father’s number nervously, turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone on the desk.
Mr. Davis’s voice came through on speakerphone, sounding quite surprised. He wondered why Paul rang him during class. Paul felt extremely awkward and mumbled that he just wanted to say he loved him. His father guessed this was some class punishment, making the whole class burst into loud laughter. Paul quickly hung up the phone in shame. From then on, Paul focused all his attention on lessons, and all students learned to put away their phones in class. My special rule worked perfectly.
