As you may find, building good habits is often harder than breaking bad ones. Many of you may fail because you depend too much on motivation, which does not last long. However, some successful people use a useful way called habit stacking, which means connecting a new habit you want to build with a previous one. The rule is easy. After I finished my usual habit, I will try the new, for example, if you want to read more, but have no time, you can read during your morning coffee routine. In time, the two activities will become one simple plan. Habit stacking works because our brains like easy patterns. IT makes starting new actions easier. You do not need strong willpower, and you will not forget to do IT to make IT work, remember to start very small, do not try big changes at first, then be patient with yourself. If you miss a day, just get back on track. The goal is progress, not being perfect. Good morning, everyone.

B
I teach biology at the University of Washington, and I’ve lost count of how many times students come to me with textbooks highlighted in four different colors. “I can tell you’ve done a lot of work,” I say. “You really want to succeed.” Then I have to tell them the hard truth: any more time spent on this after the first time was a waste. They’re shocked. “How is that possible?”
Students have been trained for years to keep reading and rereading, to mark every page until it glows (变得鲜亮). But research on the testing effect shows that people learn more by testing themselves than by rereading. The idea is simple: read a little, then test yourself. The problem is that many students don’t know how to study this way.
So I model it in class. Every five minutes I throw out a question on the material we have just talked about, and I can see them start to look through their notes. I say, “Stop. Do not look at your notes. Take a minute to think about it yourself.” I tell them our brains are like a forest, and your memory is in there somewhere. You’re here, and the memory is over there. The more times you make a path to that memory, the better the path is, so that the next time you need the memory, it’s going to be easier to find it. But as soon as you get your notes out, you have short-circuited the path. You are not exploring for the path anymore, someone has told you the way.
At other times, I pose a question and have students write three possible answers on the board. They vote by raising fingers, then find someone with a different answer and figure out who is correct. This transforms how they see their own learning. When students trip over an exam question, they’ll commonly accuse the test of containing trick questions. But now they come to me after a disappointing exam and say, “I have the illusion (错觉) of knowing. How do I get better?”
24. Why are the students shocked by the author’s comment on their textbooks?
A. They consider the teacher too critical.
B. They find their study method questioned.
C. They regard reading as effective learning.
D. They view highlighting as a waste of time.
25. What problem do many students face?
A. They depend on frequent tests. B. They lack self-testing skills.
C. They spend little time in reading. D. They object to page marking.
26. What does the author mean by comparing the brain to a forest?
A. Memory disappears without regular use. B. Memories exist in fixed locations.
C. Memory training means making paths. D. Note consultation helps recall.
27. What do students’ words imply in paragraph 4?
A. They are disappointed at the exam result.
B. They regret not testing themselves earlier.
C. They prefer solving problems independently.
D. They are ready to improve their learning methods.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了作者通过亲身教学实践,引导学生从低效的“反复阅读和划重点”转向更有效的“自我测试”学习方法。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“I teach biology at the University of Washington, and I’ve lost count of how many times students come to me with textbooks highlighted in four different colors.(我在华盛顿大学教生物学,我已经记不清有多少次学生带着四种不同颜色的课本来找我了。)”和“Then I have to tell them the hard truth: any more time spent on this after the first time was a waste. They’re shocked. “How is that possible?”(然后我不得不告诉他们一个残酷的真相:第一次阅读之后,再多花在这上面的时间都是浪费。他们很震惊:“这怎么可能?”)”可知,学生一直使用标记课本、反复阅读的方法学习,作者指出他们的这种学习方法是在浪费时间,他们的学习方法受到了质疑,因此感到震惊。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But research on the testing effect shows that people learn more by testing themselves than by rereading. The idea is simple: read a little, then test yourself. The problem is that many students don’t know how to study this way.(但关于测试效应的研究表明,相比反复阅读,人们通过自我测试能学到更多。这个方法思路很简单:读一点内容,然后自我测试。问题在于很多学生不知道该怎么用这种方法学习)”可知,很多学生缺乏自我测试的学习技能。

推理判断题。根据第三段“I tell them our brains are like a forest, and your memory is in there somewhere. You’re here, and the memory is over there. The more times you make a path to that memory, the better the path is, so that the next time you need the memory, it’s going to be easier to find it.(我告诉他们,我们的大脑就像一片森林,你的记忆就藏在这片森林的某个地方。你在这边,记忆在那边。你通往这段记忆的路走得越多次,这条路就越好走,所以下次你需要这段记忆的时候,就会更容易找到它)”可知,作者将大脑比作森林,是想说明记忆训练就像开辟路径,主动回忆的次数越多,越容易找回记忆。

推理判断题。根据第四段“When students trip over an exam question, they’ll commonly accuse the test of containing trick questions. But now they come to me after a disappointing exam and say, “I have the illusion (错觉) of knowing. How do I get better?”(当学生在考试问题上绊住时,他们通常会指责考试中包含陷阱题。但现在他们在一次令人失望的考试后来找我,说:“我有一种知道的错觉。我怎样才能变得更好?” )”可知,学生不再像过去那样指责考试,反而认识到自身学习方法的问题,开始主动反思,想要改进自己的学习方法,说明他们已经做好了改进学习方法的准备。

People in the US throw away at least 17 million tons of textiles (纺织品) every year — about 100 pounds of clothing per person. At the same time, unsold blouses, jackets, and other fashion-industry leftovers end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) such as the one in Chile’s Atacama Desert, so vast as to be visible from space. Many of these items are fast fashion — made quickly, sold cheaply, and in style for too short a time because the industry relies on novelty to keep consumers buying.
Every year the global fashion industry gives off up to 10 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas. Growing cotton involves large quantities of harmful chemicals, and coloring clothes pollutes rivers with dangerous waste. Man-made materials like nylon are made with fossil (化石) fuels and release microfibers with every wash.
To address these problems, it’s time to build a recycling system in fashion — one that reuses clothes, cloth and threads, recycles whenever possible and encourages producers and sellers to choose textiles and processes that minimize the use of raw resources such as cotton.
As awareness increases, many people are donating to or buying from second-hand stores or, when they shop new, looking for “certified organic” labels. Consumers should be aware that they can prod authorities and brands to take action by deciding which brands to support. Under such pressure, many companies are trying to figure out how to remain profitable while producing less and ensuring that what they do make does less harm to people and the planet. Consumers and companies alone can’t solve such a vast ecological and climate problem, however. Last year California rolled out an extended producer responsibility (EPR) law for textiles, which requires brands with more than $ 1 million in global sales to pay for reuse, repair or recycling of their products.
“We are watching closely,” says Rachel Van Metre Kibbe, founder and CEO of advisory firm Circular Services Group. “What I have in mind is a recycling economy, which begins with designing products for lasting use rather than quick replacement.”
28. Why do people throw away so many clothes each year?
A. Many items are cheaply sold. B. Fashion trends change quickly.
C. Most clothes are poorly made. D. People tend to follow the crowd.
29. What does the fashion recycling system advocate doing?
A. Cutting the share of fast fashion. B. Making better use of existing resources.
C. Lowering prices for used clothes. D. Limiting the need for processed products.
30. What does the underlined word “prod” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Urge. B. Support. C. Follow. D. Accept.
31. What does Rachel value in products?
A. Low costs. B. Attractive designs. C. Long-term use. D. Regular replacement.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文讨论快时尚产业造成的巨大浪费和环境污染,提出建立时尚回收体系的必要性,以及消费者、企业和立法(如EPR法)各自应发挥的作用。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Many of these items are fast fashion — made quickly, sold cheaply, and in style for too short a time because the industry relies on novelty to keep consumers buying.(这些衣物很多都是快时尚产品——生产快、售价低、流行周期极短,因为该行业依靠新颖性来拉动消费者持续购买)”可知,每年人们丢弃大量衣物是因为时尚潮流更新变化快,衣物流行时间很短。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“To address these problems, it’s time to build a recycling system in fashion — one that reuses clothes, cloth and threads, recycles whenever possible and encourages producers and sellers to choose textiles and processes that minimize the use of raw resources such as cotton.(为解决这些问题,我们是时候在时尚界建立一个回收体系了——重复利用衣物、布料与纱线,尽可能开展回收工作,同时鼓励生产商和销售商选择能够最大限度减少棉花等原生资源使用的纺织品与生产工艺)”可知,时尚回收体系倡导更好地利用现有资源,减少对原生资源的消耗。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“Consumers should be aware that they can prod authorities and brands to take action by deciding which brands to support. Under such pressure, many companies are trying to figure out how to remain profitable while producing less and ensuring that what they do make does less harm to people and the planet.(消费者应当知道,他们可以通过选择支持哪些品牌prod官方机构和品牌采取行动。在这样的压力下,很多企业正试图找到方法,在减少产量并且确保自己生产的产品对人类和地球伤害更小的同时保持盈利)”可知,后文提到企业因此感受到压力,开始寻找方法,说明消费者的行为是敦促官方和品牌行动,“prod”意思为“敦促、推动”,对应选项urge。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“What I have in mind is a recycling economy, which begins with designing products for lasting use rather than quick replacement.(我想到的是循环经济,它始于设计持久使用的产品,而不是快速更换)”可知,Rachel重视产品的长期使用属性。

People’s views are becoming increasingly polarized, with social bubbles (茧房) deepening existing beliefs and widening opinion gaps. This polarization doesn’t just apply to political opinions; it also touches on factual topics, from climate change to disease prevention. According to a recent study, people use search engines in ways that confirm their existing beliefs, potentially expanding polarization. A simple adjustment to search algorithms (算法), the researchers propose, could help deliver a broader range of perspectives.
Online participants were asked to rate their beliefs on six topics, such as nuclear energy and the health effects of caffeine. They then chose search terms to learn more about each topic. The researchers rated the terms’ scope (范围) and found that between 9 and 34 percent were “narrow”. For example, when researching the health effects of caffeine, one participant used “caffeine negative effects” while others used “benefits of caffeine”. These narrow terms tended to match participants’ existing beliefs, and generally fewer than 10 percent did this knowingly.
“Search algorithms are designed to give the most relevant answers for whatever we type, which ends up strengthening what we already thought,” says Eugina Leung from Tulane University, who led the study. Similar results appeared when participants used ChatGPT. When researchers randomly assigned participants to view different results, they found that the results affected people’s opinions and even behavior. For example, participants who saw results about “caffeine (咖啡因) health benefits”, rather than “risks”, were more likely to choose a caffeinated drink afterward.
Pointing out biases in the search terms had only a small effect on people’s final opinions. However, changing the search algorithm to provide broader results helped reduce the effects of narrow searches. “People are able to bring in different perspectives when they’re exposed to them, which is encouraging,” Leung says. The researchers recommend applying such strategies, possibly as “search broadly” buttons. “This would be really helpful,” Leung says, but whether it will ever happen “is hard to predict.”
32. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Search engines create social bubbles.
B. Public debates on factual topics become heated.
C. Opinions are increasingly divided on political issues.
D. Search habits are unknowingly expanding opinion gaps.
33. What is the feature of “narrow” search terms?
A. They involve broader ideas. B. They follow social trends.
C. They match popular beliefs. D. They strengthen established views.
34. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Caffeine benefits people’s health.
B. ChatGPT provides objective information.
C. Search results may influence users’ choices.
D. Online searches reflect personal interests.
35. What is the researchers’ suggestion about?
A. Approaches to broadening search results. B. Choice of new research methods.
C. Techniques for identifying search biases. D. Necessity to involve more participants.
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文针对观点极化现象日益加剧的现状,介绍了一项最新研究发现,人们现有的搜索习惯会巩固已有认知,进而扩大观点分歧,调整搜索算法、提供更多元的搜索结果是缓解这一问题的有效方向。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a recent study, people use search engines in ways that confirm their existing beliefs, potentially expanding polarization. (根据最近一项研究,人们使用搜索引擎的方式会巩固他们已有的信念,这有可能会扩大观点分化)”可知,作者在第一段指出人们的搜索习惯会在不知不觉中扩大不同观点之间的分歧。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers rated the terms’ scope (范围) and found that between 9 and 34 percent were “narrow”. For example, when researching the health effects of caffeine, one participant used “caffeine negative effects” while others used “benefits of caffeine”. These narrow terms tended to match participants’ existing beliefs, and generally fewer than 10 percent did this knowingly.(研究人员对这些搜索词的范围进行了评分,发现9%到34%的范围“狭窄”。例如,在研究咖啡因对健康的影响时,一名参与者使用了“咖啡因的负面影响”,而另一名参与者则使用了“咖啡因的益处”。这些狭窄的搜索词往往与参与者现有的信念相匹配,通常只有不到10%的人是故意这样做的。)”和第三段“Search algorithms are designed to give the most relevant answers for whatever we type, which ends up strengthening what we already thought(搜索算法的设计目的是无论我们输入什么内容,它都会给出最相关的结果,这最终会巩固我们已经固有的想法)”可知,这些狭窄的搜索关键词往往符合参与者已有的信念,会巩固人们已经形成的固有观点。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“When researchers randomly assigned participants to view different results, they found that the results affected people’s opinions and even behavior. For example, participants who saw results about “caffeine (咖啡因) health benefits”, rather than “risks”, were more likely to choose a caffeinated drink afterward.(当研究人员随机安排参与者查看不同的搜索结果时,他们发现结果会影响人们的观点甚至行为。例如,看到“咖啡因对健康有益”而非“咖啡因风险”相关结果的参与者,之后更有可能选择含咖啡因的饮品)”可知,看到“咖啡因健康益处”结果的参与者之后更可能选择含咖啡因的饮料,这个例子是为了证明前面的观点,说明搜索结果可能会影响用户的选择。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, changing the search algorithm to provide broader results helped reduce the effects of narrow searches...The researchers recommend applying such strategies, possibly as “search broadly” buttons.(然而,改变搜索算法来提供更广泛的结果有助于降低窄搜索的影响……研究人员建议应用这类策略,可能可以做成“广泛搜索”按钮的形式)”可知,研究人员的建议围绕拓宽搜索结果的方法展开。

【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这个位于新疆的宁静偏远村庄,因一位名叫古丽米拉·达吾列提的当地热情的哈萨克族女性而发生了显著改变。她拥有环境资源学学位。泛指“一位”热情的当地哈萨克族女性,且passionate以辅音音素开头,故用a。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:2019年,古丽米拉成为村委员会负责人,并以极大的决心着手改变这个地方。固定搭配set out to do sth.意为“开始/着手做某事”,故用不定式to transform。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:她最大的挑战是村口主路旁的一大片垃圾地。a large area of waste与lie(位于)之间是主动关系,且作后置定语修饰waste,故用现在分词lying。
【59题详解】
考查时态与语态。句意:随着环境的改善,被其风景和文化吸引的游客开始陆续到来。tourists与draw to(被吸引)之间是被动关系。根据“As the environment improved, tourists... began to arrive”,主句用一般过去时,从句动作发生在主句之前,可用一般过去时的被动were drawn,也可用过去完成时的被动had been drawn强调“先被吸引然后才开始到来”。

【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意:对古丽米拉而言,这些季节性的迁徙是哈萨克文化的“根源与灵魂”。修饰名词moves(迁徙),需用形容词seasonal(季节性的),意为“季节性迁徙”。
【63题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:迄今为止,该村已发展出一条融合发展之路,既保留了游牧迁徙的传统,又将草原文化转化为独特的旅游资源。先行词是one(指代a path),在从句中作主语,指物,故可用that或which引导定语从句。
【64题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:迄今为止,该村已发展出一条融合发展之路,既保留了游牧迁徙的传统,又将草原文化转化为独特的旅游资源。连接定语从句中两个并列的谓语动词preserves和turns,表示“既保留了游牧迁徙传统,又将草原文化转化为特色旅游资源”,故用and。
【65题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:古丽米拉的工作仍在继续,她秉持着一种简单而坚定的理念:改善环境,巩固本地产业,并确保邻居们的生计得到保障。空处作solidify(巩固)的宾语,根据句意“巩固当地产业”,产业应为复数概念,故用industries。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Deep in a small and peaceful village called Willowbrook, between wide sunflower fields and quiet woods, lived a boy named Thomas. He loved exploring the woods around the village more than anything, always looking for new paths, interesting stones, or hidden spots.
Thomas met Sebastian one day during his exploration. He was walking through the woods when he saw a boy sitting on a fallen tree by the stream. It was Sebastian, who was deeply absorbed in a book — he loved reading so much that he often borrowed books from the village library and lost himself in the wonderful stories inside. Thomas greeted him warmly, and they soon got to know each other. The stream side became their favorite meeting place, where Thomas would take Sebastian to explore new parts of the woods, and Sebastian would sometimes read interesting stories to Thomas. Day by day, their friendship grew, and they even built a secret hideout in a tree trunk, making it their little adventure base.
However, before the annual village fair, a serious situation arose when Sebastian was informed by the kind village librarian who had always encouraged his reading that the library’s rare and valuable books would be sold unless enough money could be raised during the fair. Hearing this, Sebastian felt extremely worried, because those books had accompanied him through many happy days.
Thomas had been excitedly preparing for the kite-flying competition for months. He had made his kite carefully and dreamed of winning first prize, which meant a lot to him. As it happened, the village was alive with excitement on the big day. Colourful stands lined the streets, music filled the air, and everyone was in high spirits. Thomas watched the beautiful kites flying high in the blue sky, but he also saw Sebastian working hard at the donation stand, enthusiastically asking for support for the library. His eyes moved between the colorful kites floating in the skies and the modest donation stand where Sebastian obviously needed help.
注意:
(1) 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
(2) 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Thomas was torn, caught between his personal desire and the support for his friend.

When the day ended, the librarian announced that they had saved the books.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Possible version:
Thomas was torn, caught between his personal desire and the support for his friend. The kite string bit into his palms as his eyes kept drifting back to Sebastian’s tired face at the donation stand. He thought of their secret hideout, the stories that had opened worlds to him, and the laughter echoing in the woods. Letting the string slip, Thomas walked over and joined Sebastian’s group. With his usual energy, he rallied the villagers, telling them how important the library’s books were to Sebastian and the whole village. The stand grew alive, coins clinking into the box.
When the day ended, the librarian announced that they had saved the books. Sebastian turned to Thomas, grateful tears brimming, and grasped his hand in silence. Thomas smiled, looking past the empty sky where his kite would have soared. They stood arm in arm, watching the last ray of sunset paint the sky golden. The prize Thomas had abandoned was nothing compared to what they had preserved. The books they saved were treasures that outlasted time and carried their friendship forward.

I teach biology at the University of Washington, and I’ve lost count of how many times students come to me with textbooks highlighted in four different colors. “I can tell you’ve done a lot of work,” I say. “You really want to succeed.” Then I have to tell them the hard truth: any more time spent on this after the first time was a waste. They’re shocked. “How is that possible?”
Students have been trained for years to keep reading and rereading, to mark every page until it glows (变得鲜亮). But research on the testing effect shows that people learn more by testing themselves than by rereading. The idea is simple: read a little, then test yourself. The problem is that many students don’t know how to study this way.
So I model it in class. Every five minutes I throw out a question on the material we have just talked about, and I can see them start to look through their notes. I say, “Stop. Do not look at your notes. Take a minute to think about it yourself.” I tell them our brains are like a forest, and your memory is in there somewhere. You’re here, and the memory is over there. The more times you make a path to that memory, the better the path is, so that the next time you need the memory, it’s going to be easier to find it. But as soon as you get your notes out, you have short-circuited the path. You are not exploring for the path anymore, someone has told you the way.
At other times, I pose a question and have students write three possible answers on the board. They vote by raising fingers, then find someone with a different answer and figure out who is correct. This transforms how they see their own learning. When students trip over an exam question, they’ll commonly accuse the test of containing trick questions. But now they come to me after a disappointing exam and say, “I have the illusion (错觉) of knowing. How do I get better?”
24. Why are the students shocked by the author’s comment on their textbooks?
A. They consider the teacher too critical.
B. They find their study method questioned.
C. They regard reading as effective learning.
D. They view highlighting as a waste of time.
25. What problem do many students face?
A. They depend on frequent tests. B. They lack self-testing skills.
C. They spend little time in reading. D. They object to page marking.
26. What does the author mean by comparing the brain to a forest?
A. Memory disappears without regular use. B. Memories exist in fixed locations.
C. Memory training means making paths. D. Note consultation helps recall.
27. What do students’ words imply in paragraph 4?
A. They are disappointed at the exam result.
B. They regret not testing themselves earlier.
C. They prefer solving problems independently.
D. They are ready to improve their learning methods.
C
People in the US throw away at least 17 million tons of textiles (纺织品) every year — about 100 pounds of clothing per person. At the same time, unsold blouses, jackets, and other fashion-industry leftovers end up in landfills (垃圾填埋场) such as the one in Chile’s Atacama Desert, so vast as to be visible from space. Many of these items are fast fashion — made quickly, sold cheaply, and in style for too short a time because the industry relies on novelty to keep consumers buying.
Every year the global fashion industry gives off up to 10 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas. Growing cotton involves large quantities of harmful chemicals, and coloring clothes pollutes rivers with dangerous waste. Man-made materials like nylon are made with fossil (化石) fuels and release microfibers with every wash.
To address these problems, it’s time to build a recycling system in fashion — one that reuses clothes, cloth and threads, recycles whenever possible and encourages producers and sellers to choose textiles and processes that minimize the use of raw resources such as cotton.
As awareness increases, many people are donating to or buying from second-hand stores or, when they shop new, looking for “certified organic” labels. Consumers should be aware that they can prod authorities and brands to take action by deciding which brands to support. Under such pressure, many companies are trying to figure out how to remain profitable while producing less and ensuring that what they do make does less harm to people and the planet. Consumers and companies alone can’t solve such a vast ecological and climate problem, however. Last year California rolled out an extended producer responsibility (EPR) law for textiles, which requires brands with more than $ 1 million in global sales to pay for reuse, repair or recycling of their products.
“We are watching closely,” says Rachel Van Metre Kibbe, founder and CEO of advisory firm Circular Services Group. “What I have in mind is a recycling economy, which begins with designing products for lasting use rather than quick replacement.”
28. Why do people throw away so many clothes each year?
A. Many items are cheaply sold. B. Fashion trends change quickly.
C. Most clothes are poorly made. D. People tend to follow the crowd.
29. What does the fashion recycling system advocate doing?
A. Cutting the share of fast fashion. B. Making better use of existing resources.
C. Lowering prices for used clothes. D. Limiting the need for processed products.
30. What does the underlined word “prod” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Urge. B. Support. C. Follow. D. Accept.
31. What does Rachel value in products?
A. Low costs. B. Attractive designs. C. Long-term use. D. Regular replacement.
D
People’s views are becoming increasingly polarized, with social bubbles (茧房) deepening existing beliefs and widening opinion gaps. This polarization doesn’t just apply to political opinions; it also touches on factual topics, from climate change to disease prevention. According to a recent study, people use search engines in ways that confirm their existing beliefs, potentially expanding polarization. A simple adjustment to search algorithms (算法), the researchers propose, could help deliver a broader range of perspectives.
Online participants were asked to rate their beliefs on six topics, such as nuclear energy and the health effects of caffeine. They then chose search terms to learn more about each topic. The researchers rated the terms’ scope (范围) and found that between 9 and 34 percent were “narrow”. For example, when researching the health effects of caffeine, one participant used “caffeine negative effects” while others used “benefits of caffeine”. These narrow terms tended to match participants’ existing beliefs, and generally fewer than 10 percent did this knowingly.
“Search algorithms are designed to give the most relevant answers for whatever we type, which ends up strengthening what we already thought,” says Eugina Leung from Tulane University, who led the study. Similar results appeared when participants used ChatGPT. When researchers randomly assigned participants to view different results, they found that the results affected people’s opinions and even behavior. For example, participants who saw results about “caffeine (咖啡因) health benefits”, rather than “risks”, were more likely to choose a caffeinated drink afterward.
Pointing out biases in the search terms had only a small effect on people’s final opinions. However, changing the search algorithm to provide broader results helped reduce the effects of narrow searches. “People are able to bring in different perspectives when they’re exposed to them, which is encouraging,” Leung says. The researchers recommend applying such strategies, possibly as “search broadly” buttons. “This would be really helpful,” Leung says, but whether it will ever happen “is hard to predict.”
32. What phenomenon does the author point out in paragraph 1?
A. Search engines create social bubbles.
B. Public debates on factual topics become heated.
C. Opinions are increasingly divided on political issues.
D. Search habits are unknowingly expanding opinion gaps.
33. What is the feature of “narrow” search terms?
A. They involve broader ideas. B. They follow social trends.
C. They match popular beliefs. D. They strengthen established views.
34. What can we learn from the example given in paragraph 3?
A. Caffeine benefits people’s health.
B. ChatGPT provides objective information.
C. Search results may influence users’ choices.
D. Online searches reflect personal interests.
35. What is the researchers’ suggestion about?
A. Approaches to broadening search results. B. Choice of new research methods.
C. Techniques for identifying search biases. D. Necessity to involve more participants.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。
Deep in a small and peaceful village called Willowbrook, between wide sunflower fields and quiet woods, lived a boy named Thomas. He loved exploring the woods around the village more than anything, always looking for new paths, interesting stones, or hidden spots.
Thomas met Sebastian one day during his exploration. He was walking through the woods when he saw a boy sitting on a fallen tree by the stream. It was Sebastian, who was deeply absorbed in a book — he loved reading so much that he often borrowed books from the village library and lost himself in the wonderful stories inside. Thomas greeted him warmly, and they soon got to know each other. The stream side became their favorite meeting place, where Thomas would take Sebastian to explore new parts of the woods, and Sebastian would sometimes read interesting stories to Thomas. Day by day, their friendship grew, and they even built a secret hideout in a tree trunk, making it their little adventure base.
However, before the annual village fair, a serious situation arose when Sebastian was informed by the kind village librarian who had always encouraged his reading that the library’s rare and valuable books would be sold unless enough money could be raised during the fair. Hearing this, Sebastian felt extremely worried, because those books had accompanied him through many happy days.
Thomas had been excitedly preparing for the kite-flying competition for months. He had made his kite carefully and dreamed of winning first prize, which meant a lot to him. As it happened, the village was alive with excitement on the big day. Colourful stands lined the streets, music filled the air, and everyone was in high spirits. Thomas watched the beautiful kites flying high in the blue sky, but he also saw Sebastian working hard at the donation stand, enthusiastically asking for support for the library. His eyes moved between the colorful kites floating in the skies and the modest donation stand where Sebastian obviously needed help.
注意:
(1) 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
(2) 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
Thomas was torn, caught between his personal desire and the support for his friend.

When the day ended, the librarian announced that they had saved the books.
