Born and raised in Alabama and often wearing camo (迷彩服), Lybarger has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing followers to the overlooked world of southeastern flora. Along the way, he has become a guardian of rare and endangered plant populations across northern Alabama and beyond.
“What we’re doing is saving these remains, so they still exist if people want to bring them back in the future,” says Lybarger.
Over 90% of Alabama’s land is privately owned. That means knocking on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants. Lybarger, a forester by training, offers to care for those populations at no cost, thanks to his income from social media. Lybarger attributes his success to a positive energy from his late dad, and to not worrying what others think. “I was a deer hunter, forester posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really not care what people think of you to do that.”
About a decade ago, he sprayed herbicide (喷洒除草剂) on an open, rocky area to plant food plants that would bring in more deer. But the next summer, around the edges where he hadn’t sprayed, a beautiful surprise was unleashed. Color just exploded. Crazy-looking plants, everywhere you looked.He posted photos online. A local botanist came and pointed out rare species — Alabama larkspur among them. That’s when it hit him: he had killed off a wild seed bank of countless native species to plant two or three that didn’t belong there. “That’s kind of when the light bulb went off,” he says.
Today, Lybarger works to save what’s left of those grasslands. In 2023, he raised over $100,000from T-shirts featuring an endangered plant, enough to buy 24 acres of forestland for protection. “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.”
4. What is mainly highlighted about Lybarger in paragraph 1?
A. His unusual path to celebrity.
B. His ambition to become a forester.
C. His childhood experiences in Alabama.
D. His family tradition of plant conservation.
5. What best explains Lybarger’s success in paragraph 3?
A. He is fine with being different.
B. He received education in forestry.
C. He sells T-shirts online for money.
D. He charges landowners for plant care.
6. How might Lybarger feel when the botanist pointed out the rare species?
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Regretful. D. Indifferent.
7. What message is conveyed through the passage?
A. Mistakes in the past can never be fixed.
B. Protecting nature requires a large team.
C. Going viral is what really saves the day.
D. Even small efforts can lead to big change.
C
Imagine telling ChatGPT on your iPhone: “Find and order the best noise-canceling headphones under $300 with good battery life.” The AI agent researches options, compares reviews, checks your preferences if shared, and completes the purchase using your linked Visa card. Confirmation arrives via notification (通知), with easy options to cancel or modify if needed.
This kind of hands-free purchasing isn’t science fiction — it’s powered by a landmark integration (融合) between Visa and OpenAI. Visa announced a major partnership with OpenAI that combines its global payment network directly into ChatGPT. This integration lets AI agents go beyond simple recommendations to handle end-to-end tasks such as monitoring prices, adding items to a repeated order, or coordinating gifts for family members.
Visa emphasizes user control and reliable security as cornerstones of the integration. Deals use tokenized credentials (加密代币) instead of sharing full card details, with continuous monitoring for suspicious activity.
The partnership unlocks time-saving opportunities for busy professionals and families. Parents could hand over back-to-school shopping lists or weekly grocery refills. Travelers might ask agents to book flights, hotels, and experiences within budget. Fitness enthusiasts could have workout equipment or supplements automatically reordered based on usage patterns. Early feedback highlights reduced decision fatigue and fewer abandoned carts.
Despite strong safeguards, handing purchasing power to AI raises questions about data sharing. Visa and OpenAI stress transparency, with agents explaining decisions and providing receipts immediately. In addition, users must carefully review permissions when linking cards and decide how much personal preference data to share for better recommendations.
This Visa-OpenAI integration works across platforms, including iOS through the ChatGPT app,offering an alternative path for web-based agent shopping. Future enhancements could see tighter connections with Siri, allowing voice-initiated agent tasks that flow into Visa-powered checkouts. The development underscores (强调) a broader trend where AI agents become more capable across services, driving tech firms to upgrade their commercial services in response.
8. What can AI agents do with Visa’s support?
A. Design new payment systems. B. Cancel orders automatically.
C. Perform multi-tasked shopping. D. Update users’ bank card.
9. Why does the author mention different users in paragraph 4?
A. To disprove a theory. B. To introduce a trend.
C. To share personal experiences. D. To illustrate the benefits.
10. What do Visa and OpenAI promise users?
A. Full data access. B. Low service cost.
C. Clear information. D. Full user control.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Businesses will evolve to keep up.
B. Cross-platform use will be reduced.
C. Voice control will take a leading place.
D. Upgrades will focus on payment security.
D
Bored to death. It’s so boring. It’s like watching paint dry. Few emotions get such a bad impression as boredom. Uncomfortable and unrewarding. Tedious meetings and slow-moving checkout queues, when we become trapped in it, we wrinkle mentally, desperate to escape, reaching for our mobile phones for a fix of distraction.
A recent experiment by Doctor Sandi Mann, a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, showed surprising results on how a period of boredom could spark out-of-the-box thinking. She asked volunteers to copy out the telephone directory (电话簿) for 15 minutes before being asked to come up with as many uses as possible for a plastic cup. Compared to the control group, who hadn’t been copying out the numbers beforehand, the ‘bored’ group were significantly more creative in their thinking. Her findings make you wonder about the seemingly routine lives of some of our greatest creative thinkers.
Then there’s Einstein. His remarkable insights often arose when he was aimlessly playing the piano, looking at art or sailing. In fact, Einstein loved to loaf. As a young man, he took a year off high school with no particular aim other than to indulge (放任) both his curiosity and imagination, and this ‘seemingly mindless idling’ remained with him for life and blossomed into his Theory of Relativity.
As journalist Manoush Zomorodi sets the record straight in her book Bored and Brilliant, we drastically underestimate just how much we need to be bored. “When our minds wander,” she discovered, “we activate something called the ‘default mode’, the mental place where we solve problems and generate our best ideas and engage in what’s known as ‘self-narrative planning’.” This, she says, is how we make sense of the world, ourselves and our goals. Allowing our minds to wander leads to new connections between things, new ideas and new directions. It also gives us the time to make sense of things, particularly social encounters.
So, do excuse me if I sign off from all this ‘thinking’ and pop to the hardware store for a pot of paint. Watching it dry never felt so inspiring.
12. What did Sandi Mann’s experiment find?
A. Repetition works wonders. B. Boredom boosts creativity.
C. Groups work better together. D. Daily objects inspire thoughts.
13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “loaf”?
A. Relax aimlessly. B. Work diligently.
C. Study intensely. D. Exercise regularly.
14. What is “default mode” according to Manoush Zomorodi?
A. A state of concentration on tasks.
B. A technique for decision-making.
C. A method to improve memory recall.
D. A mindset activated by mind-floating.
15. What will the author encourage people to do?
A. Stay fully occupied. B. Set aside free time.
C. Seek constant fun. D. Pursue endless goals.
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。
The more anxiously you chase a result, the more that result turns against you.
I’ve noticed that many people mistake “anxiety” for proof of capability: how committed and responsible they must be!
What makes this kind of anxiety so strange and harmful is that it completely changes the “contract of results” between you and the world. Under normal conditions, you put in effort, and the world returns results. ____16____ But once you become addicted to urgency, you’re essentially shouting to the universe: “Give it to me right now, or I’ll fall apart.” The more anxious you are, the more things will stop. Your anxiety creates backward force. ____17____
Take myself as an example. Every time I fall into an anxious state, I feel like a clockwork toy wound too tight. My heart races, my breathing turns rapid, and my brain starts playing disaster movies on a loop: “It’s too late.” “Others are already ahead.” “If I don’t move now, it’s over.” And the result? ____18____ Seven out of ten words spoken, I regret. Stranger still, everyone around me somehow becomes tense for no clear reason, and they instinctively start avoiding me. To conclude: the biggest victim of this negative energy is yourself.
____19____ Life precisely refuses to respond to “anxiety”. A seed has its own time to break through the soil. A wound has its own pace of healing. A destiny has its own order of arrival. Life is not a timed quiz. It is a rhythm with its own breathe-in and breathe-out. ____20____ Allow things to complete themselves when they are meant to. Like planting a tree: water it, fertilize it — then go to drink a cup of tea.
A. So take a breath.
B. What if the world doesn’t?
C. It is hard to fight against anxiety.
D. There is a reasonable gap of time in between.
E. Eight out of ten decisions made in that state are wrong.
F. Essentially, anxiety is a distrust of the present moment.
G. It is like wildly pushing a door that was designed to be pulled.

The ____26____ of leaving my children tore me apart. When ____27____ work, I thought of the boys. When home, I thought of work. Something had to ____28____.
One night, after an emergency at the clinic and a snowstorm delayed my ____29____, I hurried in. The boys shuffled (拖脚走) toward me in their pajamas. I____30____ them close, then tucked them into bed.
“This just isn’t working, is it?” I admitted. My dream job was turning out to be nothing but miserable. My career was a ____31____ of who I once was, not who I’d become. Our four boys had changed me, so I submitted my resignation (辞呈) to ____32____ a new life.
As I reached for the ____33____ paper I’d ever grade, I heard a tap on the window. My ____34____ stood in the doorway. “I just learned you resigned,” she whispered, “I wish I had resigned when my four children were ____35____.”
She was here to support me. Before I could thank her, she was gone. I switched off the lights and closed the door, eager to head home to the life I chose.

Born and raised in Alabama and often wearing camo (迷彩服), Lybarger has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing followers to the overlooked world of southeastern flora. Along the way, he has become a guardian of rare and endangered plant populations across northern Alabama and beyond.
“What we’re doing is saving these remains, so they still exist if people want to bring them back in the future,” says Lybarger.
Over 90% of Alabama’s land is privately owned. That means knocking on doors to speak with landowners who are unknowing hosts to rare plants. Lybarger, a forester by training, offers to care for those populations at no cost, thanks to his income from social media. Lybarger attributes his success to a positive energy from his late dad, and to not worrying what others think. “I was a deer hunter, forester posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really not care what people think of you to do that.”
About a decade ago, he sprayed herbicide (喷洒除草剂) on an open, rocky area to plant food plants that would bring in more deer. But the next summer, around the edges where he hadn’t sprayed, a beautiful surprise was unleashed. Color just exploded. Crazy-looking plants, everywhere you looked.He posted photos online. A local botanist came and pointed out rare species — Alabama larkspur among them. That’s when it hit him: he had killed off a wild seed bank of countless native species to plant two or three that didn’t belong there. “That’s kind of when the light bulb went off,” he says.
Today, Lybarger works to save what’s left of those grasslands. In 2023, he raised over $100,000from T-shirts featuring an endangered plant, enough to buy 24 acres of forestland for protection. “One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.”
4. What is mainly highlighted about Lybarger in paragraph 1?
A. His unusual path to celebrity.
B. His ambition to become a forester.
C. His childhood experiences in Alabama.
D. His family tradition of plant conservation.
5. What best explains Lybarger’s success in paragraph 3?
A. He is fine with being different.
B. He received education in forestry.
C. He sells T-shirts online for money.
D. He charges landowners for plant care.
6. How might Lybarger feel when the botanist pointed out the rare species?
A. Confused. B. Doubtful. C. Regretful. D. Indifferent.
7. What message is conveyed through the passage?
A. Mistakes in the past can never be fixed.
B. Protecting nature requires a large team.
C. Going viral is what really saves the day.
D. Even small efforts can lead to big change.
【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述原本是猎人和林务员的Lybarger误杀大量原生珍稀植物后幡然醒悟,转而投身保护美国阿拉巴马州及周边区域的珍稀濒危野生植物,他借助社交媒体获得收入,免费为私人土地所有者照料珍稀植物,还筹款购买土地建立保护区域的故事。
【4题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Born and raised in Alabama and often wearing camo (迷彩服), Lybarger has found unexpected Internet fame by introducing followers to the overlooked world of southeastern flora. Along the way, he has become a guardian of rare and endangered plant populations across northern Alabama and beyond.(出生于阿拉巴马州并在那里长大,经常穿着迷彩服的Lybarger,通过向关注者介绍东南部植物鲜为人知的世界,意外地在互联网上走红。在此过程中,他成为保护阿拉巴马北部乃至更广地区稀有和濒危植物种群的守护者)”可知,第一段突出了Lybarger不同寻常的成名之路。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Lybarger attributes his success to a positive energy from his late dad, and to not worrying what others think. “I was a deer hunter, forester posting about flowers,” he says. “You have to really not care what people think of you to do that.”(他将自己取得的成功归功于已故父亲传递的积极能量,以及不担心他人看法的态度。“我曾是个鹿猎人,也是一名发布关于花的内容的林务员,”他说,“你必须真的不在乎别人怎么看你,才能这样做。”)”可知,Lybarger不在乎他人眼光,能够坦然接受自己的不同,这是他成功的原因。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“That’s when it hit him: he had killed off a wild seed bank of countless native species to plant two or three that didn’t belong there. “That’s kind of when the light bulb went off,” he says.(就在那一刻,他突然意识到:自己已经毁掉了无数本土物种的野生种子库,只为种植几个并不属于那里的植物。“那一刻我突然醒悟了,”他说)”可知,Lybarger对自己误杀大量原生珍稀物种的行为感到后悔。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合最后一段中“One person, one yard, one-tenth of an acre can make a bigger difference than you think.(一个人、一码地、十分之一英亩,可能带来的改变比你想象的还要大)”可知,文章传递的观点是即使微小的努力也能带来巨大的改变。

Imagine telling ChatGPT on your iPhone: “Find and order the best noise-canceling headphones under $300 with good battery life.” The AI agent researches options, compares reviews, checks your preferences if shared, and completes the purchase using your linked Visa card. Confirmation arrives via notification (通知), with easy options to cancel or modify if needed.
This kind of hands-free purchasing isn’t science fiction — it’s powered by a landmark integration (融合) between Visa and OpenAI. Visa announced a major partnership with OpenAI that combines its global payment network directly into ChatGPT. This integration lets AI agents go beyond simple recommendations to handle end-to-end tasks such as monitoring prices, adding items to a repeated order, or coordinating gifts for family members.
Visa emphasizes user control and reliable security as cornerstones of the integration. Deals use tokenized credentials (加密代币) instead of sharing full card details, with continuous monitoring for suspicious activity.
The partnership unlocks time-saving opportunities for busy professionals and families. Parents could hand over back-to-school shopping lists or weekly grocery refills. Travelers might ask agents to book flights, hotels, and experiences within budget. Fitness enthusiasts could have workout equipment or supplements automatically reordered based on usage patterns. Early feedback highlights reduced decision fatigue and fewer abandoned carts.
Despite strong safeguards, handing purchasing power to AI raises questions about data sharing. Visa and OpenAI stress transparency, with agents explaining decisions and providing receipts immediately. In addition, users must carefully review permissions when linking cards and decide how much personal preference data to share for better recommendations.
This Visa-OpenAI integration works across platforms, including iOS through the ChatGPT app,offering an alternative path for web-based agent shopping. Future enhancements could see tighter connections with Siri, allowing voice-initiated agent tasks that flow into Visa-powered checkouts. The development underscores (强调) a broader trend where AI agents become more capable across services, driving tech firms to upgrade their commercial services in response.
8. What can AI agents do with Visa’s support?
A. Design new payment systems. B. Cancel orders automatically.
C. Perform multi-tasked shopping. D. Update users’ bank card.
9. Why does the author mention different users in paragraph 4?
A. To disprove a theory. B. To introduce a trend.
C. To share personal experiences. D. To illustrate the benefits.
10. What do Visa and OpenAI promise users?
A. Full data access. B. Low service cost.
C. Clear information. D. Full user control.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Businesses will evolve to keep up.
B. Cross-platform use will be reduced.
C. Voice control will take a leading place.
D. Upgrades will focus on payment security.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了Visa与OpenAI合作推出的AI端到端支付购物整合服务,介绍了该服务的功能、安全保障、用户价值、现存问题与未来发展趋势。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This integration lets AI agents go beyond simple recommendations to handle end-to-end tasks such as monitoring prices, adding items to a repeated order, or coordinating gifts for family members.(这一整合使 AI 代理不仅能提供简单建议,还能执行端到端任务,例如监控价格、为重复订单添加商品,或为家人协调礼物)”可知,在Visa支持下,AI代理可以完成多任务购物。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The partnership unlocks time-saving opportunities for busy professionals and families. Parents could hand over back-to-school shopping lists or weekly grocery refills. Travelers might ask agents to book flights, hotels, and experiences within budget. Fitness enthusiasts could have workout equipment or supplements automatically reordered based on usage patterns. Early feedback highlights reduced decision fatigue and fewer abandoned carts.(该合作为忙碌的专业人士和家庭节省了宝贵时间。家长可以轻松提交返校购物清单或每周杂货补货计划。旅行者可能会要求代理在预算范围内预订航班、酒店和体验项目。健身爱好者则可能根据使用习惯自动订购运动器材或营养补充剂。初步反馈显示,这有助于减少决策疲劳,降低购物车被放弃的情况)”可知,作者提及不同用户是为了具体说明该整合服务给不同群体带来的好处。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Visa and OpenAI stress transparency, with agents explaining decisions and providing receipts immediately.(Visa与OpenAI强调透明度,代理会即时解释决策并提供收据)”可知,二者向用户承诺了清晰透明的信息。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The development underscores (强调) a broader trend where AI agents become more capable across services, driving tech firms to upgrade their commercial services in response.(这一发展凸显了更广泛的趋势:人工智能代理正逐步在各类服务中发挥更大作用,推动科技公司升级其商业服务以应对这一变化)”可知,商家会不断进化以跟上AI发展的节奏。

Bored to death. It’s so boring. It’s like watching paint dry. Few emotions get such a bad impression as boredom. Uncomfortable and unrewarding. Tedious meetings and slow-moving checkout queues, when we become trapped in it, we wrinkle mentally, desperate to escape, reaching for our mobile phones for a fix of distraction.
A recent experiment by Doctor Sandi Mann, a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, showed surprising results on how a period of boredom could spark out-of-the-box thinking. She asked volunteers to copy out the telephone directory (电话簿) for 15 minutes before being asked to come up with as many uses as possible for a plastic cup. Compared to the control group, who hadn’t been copying out the numbers beforehand, the ‘bored’ group were significantly more creative in their thinking. Her findings make you wonder about the seemingly routine lives of some of our greatest creative thinkers.
Then there’s Einstein. His remarkable insights often arose when he was aimlessly playing the piano, looking at art or sailing. In fact, Einstein loved to loaf. As a young man, he took a year off high school with no particular aim other than to indulge (放任) both his curiosity and imagination, and this ‘seemingly mindless idling’ remained with him for life and blossomed into his Theory of Relativity.
As journalist Manoush Zomorodi sets the record straight in her book Bored and Brilliant, we drastically underestimate just how much we need to be bored. “When our minds wander,” she discovered, “we activate something called the ‘default mode’, the mental place where we solve problems and generate our best ideas and engage in what’s known as ‘self-narrative planning’.” This, she says, is how we make sense of the world, ourselves and our goals. Allowing our minds to wander leads to new connections between things, new ideas and new directions. It also gives us the time to make sense of things, particularly social encounters.
So, do excuse me if I sign off from all this ‘thinking’ and pop to the hardware store for a pot of paint. Watching it dry never felt so inspiring.
12. What did Sandi Mann’s experiment find?
A. Repetition works wonders. B. Boredom boosts creativity.
C. Groups work better together. D. Daily objects inspire thoughts.
13. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “loaf”?
A. Relax aimlessly. B. Work diligently.
C. Study intensely. D. Exercise regularly.
14. What is “default mode” according to Manoush Zomorodi?
A. A state of concentration on tasks.
B. A technique for decision-making.
C. A method to improve memory recall.
D. A mindset activated by mind-floating.
15. What will the author encourage people to do?
A. Stay fully occupied. B. Set aside free time.
C. Seek constant fun. D. Pursue endless goals.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文打破了人们对无聊的负面看法,通过实验结论、爱因斯坦的事例以及书籍观点,证明无聊、放空思绪能够激发人的创造力,对个人思考与创新具有重要意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“A recent experiment by Doctor Sandi Mann, a senior lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, showed surprising results on how a period of boredom could spark out-of-the-box thinking.(中央兰开夏大学高级讲师桑迪·曼博士近期的一项实验,展示了一段无聊时光如何激发突破性思维的惊人结果)”可知,无聊能够提升创造力。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“His remarkable insights often arose when he was aimlessly playing the piano, looking at art or sailing. In fact, Einstein loved to loaf. As a young man, he took a year off high school with no particular aim other than to indulge (放任) both his curiosity and imagination, and this ‘seemingly mindless idling’ remained with him for life and blossomed into his Theory of Relativity.(他非凡的见解往往产生于他漫无目的地弹钢琴、欣赏艺术或航海的时候。事实上,爱因斯坦非常喜欢loaf。年轻时,他高中毕业一年后便没有明确目标,只是放任自己去满足好奇心和想象力,这种“看似无目的的消遣”伴随他一生,并最终发展成他的相对论)”可知,loaf指代这种看似无意义的闲散状态,即表示漫无目的地放松、闲散度日。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段““When our minds wander,” she discovered, “we activate something called the ‘default mode’, the mental place where we solve problems and generate our best ideas and engage in what’s known as ‘self-narrative planning’.”(“当我们思绪游离时,”她发现,“就会激活一种叫做‘默认模式’的脑区,也就是我们解决问题、产生最佳想法以及进行所谓‘自我叙事规划’的心理状态。”)”可知,默认模式是思绪放空、游离时被激活的思维状态。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Allowing our minds to wander leads to new connections between things, new ideas and new directions.(放任思绪游离可以促成事物间的新关联、产生新想法、找到新方向)”可知,文章倡导人们接纳无聊、放空思绪,留出空闲时间。因此作者鼓励人们留出空闲时间。
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。
The more anxiously you chase a result, the more that result turns against you.
I’ve noticed that many people mistake “anxiety” for proof of capability: how committed and responsible they must be!
What makes this kind of anxiety so strange and harmful is that it completely changes the “contract of results” between you and the world. Under normal conditions, you put in effort, and the world returns results. ____16____ But once you become addicted to urgency, you’re essentially shouting to the universe: “Give it to me right now, or I’ll fall apart.” The more anxious you are, the more things will stop. Your anxiety creates backward force. ____17____
Take myself as an example. Every time I fall into an anxious state, I feel like a clockwork toy wound too tight. My heart races, my breathing turns rapid, and my brain starts playing disaster movies on a loop: “It’s too late.” “Others are already ahead.” “If I don’t move now, it’s over.” And the result? ____18____ Seven out of ten words spoken, I regret. Stranger still, everyone around me somehow becomes tense for no clear reason, and they instinctively start avoiding me. To conclude: the biggest victim of this negative energy is yourself.
____19____ Life precisely refuses to respond to “anxiety”. A seed has its own time to break through the soil. A wound has its own pace of healing. A destiny has its own order of arrival. Life is not a timed quiz. It is a rhythm with its own breathe-in and breathe-out. ____20____ Allow things to complete themselves when they are meant to. Like planting a tree: water it, fertilize it — then go to drink a cup of tea.
A. So take a breath.
B. What if the world doesn’t?
C. It is hard to fight against anxiety.
D. There is a reasonable gap of time in between.
E. Eight out of ten decisions made in that state are wrong.
F. Essentially, anxiety is a distrust of the present moment.
G. It is like wildly pushing a door that was designed to be pulled.
【答案】16. D 17. G 18. E 19. F 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍焦虑会打破人与世界之间正常的付出回报规律,结合自身经历阐述焦虑带来的负面影响,点明焦虑的本质,阐释越急切地追逐结果,结果越会背离你的道理,并呼吁人们顺应事物发展节奏、放平心态。
【16题详解】
上文“Under normal conditions, you put in effort, and the world returns results.(在正常情况下,你付出努力,世界给予回报。)”介绍了正常的付出回报模式。选项D“There is a reasonable gap of time in between.(二者之间存在合理的时间间隔。)”承接上文,说明努力和回报之间本就存在时间差。后文“But once you become addicted to urgency, you’re essentially shouting to the universe(但一旦你沉迷于紧迫感,你本质上就是在向宇宙大喊大叫)”转折指出急于求成会适得其反,前后逻辑对比鲜明,衔接自然。
【17题详解】
上文“The more anxious you are, the more things will stop. Your anxiety creates backward force.(你越焦虑,事情就越停滞不前。你的焦虑会产生反向作用力。)”指出焦虑会产生反向阻碍力。选项G“It is like wildly pushing a door that was designed to be pulled.(这就像用力猛推一扇本应向内拉开的门。)”用比喻的方式直观诠释焦虑的反向作用力,贴合前文语义。
【18题详解】
前文提出问题“And the result?(结果会怎样?)”。选项E“Eight out of ten decisions made in that state are wrong.(在那种状态下,十个决定有八个是错误的。)”承接上文问句,具体说明焦虑状态下的负面结果。后文“Seven out of ten words spoken, I regret. Stranger still, everyone around me somehow becomes tense for no clear reason, and they instinctively start avoiding me.(我说出的话,十句有七句都会后悔。更奇怪的是,身边所有人都会莫名紧张,且本能地开始回避我。)”继续多角度列举焦虑带来的消极影响。
【19题详解】
后文“Life precisely refuses to respond to “anxiety”. A seed has its own time to break through the soil. A wound has its own pace of healing. A destiny has its own order of arrival.(生活恰恰不会对“焦虑”做出回应。种子有它自己的时间穿透土壤,伤口有它自己的愈合节奏,命运也有它自己的到来顺序。)” 提出核心观点,并用种子破土、伤口愈合、命运降临等事例,证明世间万物都有固定的发展节奏,不会因个人的焦虑而改变。选项F“Essentially, anxiety is a distrust of the present moment.(本质上,焦虑是对当下时刻的不信任。)”点明焦虑的核心本质。正是因为人们不信任当下的进度、急于求成,才会产生焦虑情绪,这恰好解释了为何生活不会回应焦虑,总领全段内容,引出下文论证。
【20题详解】
前文“Life is not a timed quiz. It is a rhythm with its own breathe-in and breathe-out.(生活不是一场限时测验。它是一种拥有自身呼吸节奏的韵律。)”指出生活拥有自身的呼吸节奏,不必焦虑强求。选项A“So take a breath.(所以,请深呼吸。)”承接上文哲理,给出放松心态的具体做法,自然引出后文“Allow things to complete themselves when they are meant to.(让事情在该完成的时候自然地完成。)”,给出顺应事物规律、静待结果的建议。
