A team of Cambridge psychologists conducted an experiment to compare the cognitive()
effects of merely seeing art with actively judging how beautiful it is.
In the study,187 people were invited to visit Kettle's Yard gallery during an exhibition of hand-
made clay objects.Participants were randomly divided into two groups:the "beauty"group was
asked to actively consider and then rate the beauty of each object they viewed,while the control group
just matched a line drawing of the object with the artwork itself.All participants were then tested on
how they process information,and whether it's in a more practical or abstract way.
Across all participants,those in the beauty group scored almost 14%higher on average than the
control group in abstract thinking.While they were told the study was about cognitive processes,
participants were asked about interests,with around half saying they had an artistic hobby.Among
those,the effect was greater:those with an artistic hobby in the beauty group scored over 25%high-
er on average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic hobby in the control group.
Emotional states of participants were also measured by asking about their feelings while comple-
ting the gallery task.Across all participants,those in the beauty group reported an average of 23%
higher levels of "transformative and self-transcendent feelings"-such as feeling moved,enlightened
and inspired-than the control group.Importantly,however,the beauty group did not report feeling
any happier than the control group,suggesting that it was the engagement with beauty that influ-
enced abstract thinking,rather than any overall positivity from the experience.
"We usually think in very concrete terms when doing something on a screen,"said Simone
Schnall,senior author of the study."It's becoming much rarer to zone out and just let the mind wan-
der,but that's when we think in ways that broaden our minds.Admiring the beauty of art may be the
ideal way to initiate the abstract cognitive processes.
32.What was the beauty group asked to do with the clay objects?
A.Draw their outlines.
B.Give each piece a rating.
C.Compare their prices.
D.Make a copy of each piece.
33.Which participants got the highest score on average in the test?
A.Beauty group,with an artistic hobby.
B.Beauty group,without an artistic hobby.
C.Control group,with an artistic hobby.
D.Control group,without an artistic hobby.
34.Why were the participants'emotional states measured?
A.To discover their attitudes towards art.
B.To identify their specific thinking patterns.
C.To examine the difficulty of the tasks.
D.To determine factors behind the test results.
35.What is the major finding of the study regarding the appreciation of art?
A.It enhances emotional ties.
B.It needs critical thinking skills.
C.It creates positive feelings.
D.It encourages abstract thinking.

Human beings have always loved reviews:word of mouth has long been regarded as one of the
most valuable marketing tools available to a company.Consumers enjoy reading and giving reviews.
However,the problem is that a lot of the reviews are fake ()Shabnam Azimi and Alexander
Krasnikov of Loyola University of Chicago and Kwong Chan of Northeastern University recently pub-
lished a study on fake reviews.
The study used a data set of 1600 reviews of Chicago hotels.Some of them were real;others
were fake.The reviews were presented to 400 subjects.Each subject got eight reviews to read:a bal-
anced set of two positive fake,two positive real,two negative fake and two negative real,presented
in a random order.The reviews were written by real people who were given information about the ho-
tel.
The results show that consumers generally trust negative reviews more than positive ones.Mo-
reover,we humans tend to assume that positive reviews might be fake."Overall,negative reviews
are less common.So,we pay more attention to them.When a negative review is fake,we get
tricked,”Azimi says.
When it came to faking a review,length was important to believability,as was detail.A long,
negative review of a hotel,complete with lots of information,tended to convince participants.A
lengthy,positive review,on the other hand,was regarded as suspicious,and participants tended to
trust writers that kept their glowing reviews short.Emotion was also important in convincing readers
-or the lack of emotion,at least.Azimi says study participants tended not to trust reviews where
the writers expressed their feelings in a big way.The more dispassionate that negative write-up,the
more likely it was to take the reader in.
The fake reviews written for Azimi's study were put together by humans,but increasingly,fake
reviews are being written by AI,which makes them look more real.Though many companies use al-
gorithms (to weed out fake reviews,Azimi points out that the machines are programmed by
humans,and given our limited ability to spot fake reviews,this isn't a good sign.
28.Which aspect of the study does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.Its design.
B.Its findings.
C.Its purposes.
D.Its significance.
29.What does the underlined word "glowing"in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Funny.
B.Abusive.
C.Insightful.
D.Praising.
30.What kind of review would readers most likely trust?
A.A long,positive one.
B.An unemotional,negative one.
C.A short,negative one.
D.An enthusiastic,positive one.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Many companies are producing fake reviews.
B.Writing fake reviews will be declared illegal.

In my ninth-grade writing class last year,I met a cowboy who saved his town,a strict father
who demanded his son earn straight A's,and a modern-day Juliet who died of heartbreak after her
parents rejected the love of her young life.More than once,I found myself wondering just how my
students,who'd created these people,knew their subjects so well.
But things were different for their first essay,which was about the question:"Why is writing
important?"Most of the essays filled less than one page,and few contained a sentence that could be
interpreted as a thesis (statement.I was shocked.Then I realized that the problem was the
question itself.They could have written pages on the necessity of computers,but writing,in and of
itself,simply didn't strike them as important.This would have to change.
As a new unit started,I asked everyone to write a persuasive piece on a health-related topic of
their choice.This time they found the exercise much more interesting.For the next two assignments,
a personal-narrative unit followed by a creative-writing workshop,I only required that the piece meet
the specifications of its genre()and that it contain a thesis.The results were staggering.The
students took on diverse topics and turned in stories,10 to 20 pages each,with characters that broad-
ened my view and touched my heart.
I walked into class believing that writing is important as a means of communication.However,
my students demonstrated something more important to me.When the final bell rang in June,I
walked away with a yearbook full of messages about writing's most powerful significance-the ability to con-
nect people,to put us in another's skin,to teach us what it means to be human.
24.Who are the people mentioned at the beginning of Paragraph 1?
A.Ninth graders.
B.Students'parents.
C.Modern writers.
D.Fictional characters.
25.Why did the students perform poorly in writing their first essay?
A.They were not given enough time.
B.They had a very limited vocabulary.
C.They misunderstood the question.
D.They had little interest in the topic.
26.What does the underlined word "staggering"in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Mixed.
B.Amazing.
C.Similar.
D.Disturbing.
27.What does the author's experience show?
A.Teaching is learning.

My great grandmother received the dollhouse(玩具小屋)from a family friend back in the late
1800s.It was then passed down from generation to generation.I was seven when I discovered it un-
derneath the tree on Christmas morning.
In our house,Mom set up a sewing area.I sat at her sewing machine,my feet barely reaching
the presser foot.Mom bent over me,her hands on mine,gently guiding small bits of cloth under the
needle to create dollhouse bedding.She also taught me to make mini-blankets.With a little paint and
glue,Mom demonstrated that anything could be turned into dollhouse furniture.I learnt to view the
world as a place of possibility.I spent hours of my girlhood sitting before my dollhouse,telling made-
up stories,and creating miniatures ()But eventually school activities took over,and the
dollhouse was moved to the attic(阁楼).
Over the next 40 years,the storytelling skills I'd practiced with the dollhouse grew into novel
writing skills,and I developed a career as an author.One day,after hours of working on my fourth
book,I took a break by surfing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful dollhouses people
好
posted on social media.They reminded me of mine.I went to the attic,brought it back to my room
and started updating it.
During the mindless hours of sewing and furnishing(布置家具),I listened to audiobooks about
the history of dollhouses,learning that they were not invented for play.There's a long,rich history
of people in hardship turning to dollhouses to find comfort.They weren't produced as toys until mass
production became standard after 1945.This inspired me to create a novel where art saves the day.
The truth was I myself needed art to save the day.Mom was then slipping away from me owing
to progressive memory loss.The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy was the update of
the dollhouse.She loved retelling its history-those old memories.Mom didn't find it strange at all
that her 50-year-old daughter was updating the dollhouse.She just thought it fun and beautiful.And
it was.It was a world where Mom and I were at our best together.
41.What did the author's mother teach her to do?
A.To sew and create miniatures.
B.To add imaginary figures to the dollhouse.
C.To make up fairy tales set in the dollhouse.
D.To do oil paintings and glue them onto the little walls
42.Why did the author decide to update the dollhouse decades later?
A.She intended to follow the trend on social media.
B.She was eager to start a new career as a toy designer.
C.She felt the urge to compete with other dollhouse makers.
D.She was inspired by people sharing their dollhouses online.
43.What did the author learn about dollhouses from the audiobooks?
A.They were initially created for play.
B.People once sought comfort in them.
C.Rich people sold them for money during difficult times.
D.A uniform standard for their production was set in 1945.
44.What role did the dollhouse play in strengthening the emotional ties between the author and her
aging mother?
A.A reminder of their childhood dreams.
B.A mirror of the eventful family history.
C.A tool to bring back good old memories.
D.A means to improve her mother's memory.
45.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Dollhouse:A Lifelong Toy
B.Growing up with the Dollhouse
C.The Dollhouse:More Than Just a Toy

谈论文学作品的最佳结局体裁议论文词数348建议用时8'难度:
"I didn't like the ending,"I said to my favorite college professor.It was my junior year of under-
graduate,and I was doing an independent study on Victorian literature.I had just finished reading
The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot,and I was heartbroken with the ending.Prof.Gracie,with all
his patience,asked me to think about it beyond whether I liked it or not.He suggested I think about
the difference between endings that I wanled for the characters and endings that were right for the
characters,endings that satisfied the story even if they didn't have a traditionally positive outcome.Of
course,I would have preferred a different ending for Tom and Maggie Tulliver,but the ending they
got did make the most sense for them.
This was an ah-ha moment for me,and I never thought about endings the same way again.From then on,
if I wanted to read an ending guaranteed to be happy,I'd pick up a love romance.If I wanted an ending I
couldn't guess,I'd pick up a mystery().One where I kind of knew what was going to happen,historical fic-
tion.Choosing what to read became easier.
But writing the end-that's hard.It's hard for writers because endings carry so much weight
with readers.You have to balance creating an ending that's unpredictable,but doesn't seem to come
from nowhere,one that fits what's right for the characters.
That's why this issue()of Writer's Digest aims to help you figure out how to write the best
ending for whatever kind of writing you're doing.If it's short stories,Peter Mountford breaks down
six techniques you can try to see which one helps you stick the landing.Elizabeth Sims analyzes the
final chapters of five great novels to see what key points they include and how you can adapt them for
your work.
This issue won't tell you what your ending should be that's up to you and the story you're
telling-but it might provide what you need to get there.
32.Why did the author go to Prof.Gracie?
A.To discuss a novel.
B.To submit a book report.
C.To argue for a writer.
D.To ask for a reading list.
33.What did the author realize after seeing Prof.Gracie?
A.Writing is a matter of personal preferences.
B.Readers are often carried away by characters.
C.Each type of literature has its unique ending.
D.A story which begins well will end well.
34.What is expected of a good ending?
A.It satisfies readers'taste.
B.It fits with the story development.
C.It is usually positive.
D.It is open for imagination.
35.Why does the author mention Peter Mountford and Elizabeth Sims?
A.To give examples of great novelists.
B.To stress the theme of this issue.
C.To encourage writing for the magazine.
D.To recommend their new books.
2323.C细节理解题。根据“Programming Tracks”部分
"Healthy Living:Empowering you to make healthy de-
cisions in such areas as nutrition and emotional well-be-

学习关于健康生活的知识。
Passage 5
[语篇解读]本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自
己和女儿关于能否延长看屏幕时间的争论,引出对社会比
较这一观念的思考,指出并非所有社会比较都不健康,若
理解其原理,可加以利用促进自我提升。
28.B推理判断题。根据第二段“Although my daughter
didn't win,she did help expose one of the worst pieces
of advice I have ever given.(虽然我女儿没有赢,但她
确实帮助揭露了我曾经给出的最槽糕的建议之一。)”
以及后文作者对社会比较的重新思考可知,作者从女
儿的争论中得到了启发。
29.D词句猜测题。根据第二段“In my defence,Idid
what we've all done before,which is repeat received
wisdom without exploring the nuances.But now is the
time to set the record straight,which starts with ques-
tioning the idea that all social comparison is unhealthy.
(为自己辩护一下,我做了我们所有人都做过的事,就
是重复那些大家都认可的观,点,却没有探究其中的
。但现在是时候纠正这个观,点了,首先要质疑所
有社会比较都是不健康的这一想法。)”可知,作者之前
只是重复普遍观,点,没有深入探究不同情况,现在要重
新审视,所以“nuances”意思可能是“细微差别”。
30.A主旨大意题。根据第三段“Social comparisons do,
of course,often get us into emotional trouble.But they
can be harnessed()for our betterment if we under-
stand how they work.(当然,社会比较常常会给我们
带来情感困扰。但如果我们了解其运作原理,就可以
利用它们来提升自我。)”,以及第四段“Comparing
yourself with someone who is outperforming you could
result in feelings of envy if you focus on the things they
have and you don't,or it can be energizing and inspiring
if you use these comparisons as a source of motivation
(如果你关注那些比你表现出色的人所拥有而你没有
的东西,与他们比较可能会导致嫉妒之情:但如果你将
这些比较作为动力来源,它也可以让你充满活力并受
到鼓舞)”等内容,表明了社会比较并非全然有害,若运
用得当可成为健康习惯,助力个人发展。所以选项A
“与他人比较可以成为一种健康的习惯”为最佳标题。
Passage 6

ject to recall by the lending library,(借阅的物品可能会
被借出的图书馆召回。)”可知,通过ⅡL借阅纸质书的
规则是被借出的图书馆召回。
23.D细节理解题。根据表格中“International Libraries;
Article/Chapter Cost;$l5(国际图书馆文章/章节费
用15美元)”可知,从国际图书馆获取两篇文章的费用
是15×2=30美元。
Passage 7
[语篇解读]本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一项
语言交流项目的基本情况以及它的要求、报名和注册流程
以及注意事项的相关信息。
2l.D细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The Language Ex-
change Programme allows students in pairs to commu-
nicate in two different languages they wish to share and
learn each week.Students record short entries after each
partner meeting noting the language skills practised and
the topics discussed.(语言交流项目让学生们两人一
组,每周用他们希望分享和学习的两种不同的语言进
行交流。学生们在每次搭档会议后记录简短的条目,
指出所练习的语言技能和讨论的主题。)”可知,在这个
项目中,学生们将练习他们的语言技能。
22.B细节理解题。根据Requirements for completion部
分第二,点“18 weekly one-hour pair meetings(l8次每周
一小时的合作伙伴会议)”可知,为了完成该项目,学生
们被要求参加合作伙伴会议。
23.A细节理解题。根据Sign up!部分第一点“Students
sign up and indicate the languages they can share and
languages they are interested in learning,.(学生们报名
参加并表明他们可以分享的语言以及他们有兴趣学习
的语言。)”可知,学生们在注册期间需要表明他们感兴
趣的语言。
Passage 8
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。主要报道了旧金山湾
区捷运系统(BART)推出自动售货亭提供短篇故事打印服
务,旨在满足乘客阅读需求,提升出行体验,Trost认为此
举措能吸引更多乘客,对BART的未来持乐观态度,预期
乘客量将会增长。
24.C
推理判断题。根据第三段“You enter the fare
gates(检票口)and you'll see a kiosk that is lit up and
it tells you can get a one-minute,a three-minute,or a
five-minute story,'says Alicia Trost,the chief commu-
nications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid
Transit-known as BART.You choose which length
you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.
(旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)首席通讯官Alicia Tro
st表示:‘你进入检票口,会看到一个亮着灯的信息亭,
它告诉你可以得到一分钟、三分钟或五分钟的故事。
你可以选择你想要的长度,它会给你一个类似收据的
短篇故事。’)”可知,BART启动信息亭是为了满足乘
客在乘车过程中的阅读需求,为他们提供不同长度的
短篇故事或诗歌来打发时间。
25.B细节理解题。根据第三段“You choose which
length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short
story.(你可以选择你想要的长度,它会给你一个类似
收据的短篇故事。)”可知,信息亭中的故事按长度分
类,乘客可以根据自已的需求选择不同长度的故事。
26.A细节理解题。根据第五段的“We wanted to do
something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area
to submit stories for a contest,(我们想做一些事情,呼
吁湾区的艺术家为比赛提交故事。)”以及“The winning
stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a
published artist.(获奖故事会进入我们的信息亭,然后
你就会成为一名出版艺术家。)”可知,Trost最近在组

day all transit agencies right now are doing everything
they can to improve the rider experience.So I absolutely
think we will get more riders just because of short sto-
ries,’she says.(她说:‘归根结底,所有的交通机构现
在都在尽一切努力改善乘客体验。所以我绝对认为,
我们会因为短篇小说而吸引更多的乘客。’)”可知,
Trost认为通过提升乘客体验,包括提供短篇故事阅读
服务,BART可以吸引更多的乘客,乘客量将会增加。
2.文学、艺术与体育
Passage I
[语篇解读]本文主要介绍了索菲体育场本月即将开启
的四场足球赛事以及体育场周边的四家酒店,并说明了场
外停车的各类规则,方便观赛游客一站式规划行程。
09
21.B细节理解题。本题问本月哪支球队将在该体育场
进行最多场次的比赛。根据Upcoming Football Events
部分的内容可知,Los Angeles Rams将分别与三支不
同的球队对战,是唯一有三场比赛的球队,因此可知,
该队将进行最多场次的比赛。故选B项。
22.A细节理解题。本题问哪家酒店离体育场最近。根
据Nearby Hotels部分中的“Right across the street,
Sonder Lum Hotel offers spacious rooms and a rooftop
pool.”可知,Sonder Lum Hotel就在马路对面;同时
Nearby Hotels部分提到的其他酒店的位置分别是一英
里(1英里=1.609千米)外、开车行驶一小段路程以及
开车走更远的距离,因此Sonder Lum Hotel距离最近。
故选A项。
23.C细节理解题。本题问如果你想在体育场停车需要
做什么。根据Parking部分中的“Make sure to down-
load your parking pass to your smartphone before arri-
vl,”可知,抵达前请务必将停车凭证下载至智能手机,
所以停车需要获取停车凭证。故选C项。
Passage 2
[语篇解读]本文是一篇科普说明文,介绍了剑桥大学的
一项研究:主动欣赏和评判艺术作品,能显著提升人的抽
象思维能力。
32.B细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“the‘beauty
group was asked to actively consider and then rate the
beauty of each object they viewed"可知,研究人员要求
“审美”观察组认真观察每件物品,充分感受其美感,随
后对各自的美观程度进行打分。故选B。
33.A细节理解题。根据第三段中的最后一句“Among
those,the effect was greater:those with an artistic
hobby in the beauty group scored over 25%higher on
average for abstract thinking than those with an artistic
hobby in the control group.”可知,有艺术爱好的审美
组参与者得分最高,故选A。
34.D推理判断题。根据第四段中的最后一句“Impor
tantly,however,the beauty group did not report feel-
ing any happier than the control group,suggesting that
it was the engagement with beauty that influenced ab-
stract thinking,rather than any overall positivity from
the experience..”可知,审美观察组并未表示自己比对照
组更愉悦。这一结果表明,影响抽象思雏的核心因素
是对美的沉浸体验,而非该过程带来的整体积极情绪。
因此,测量情绪状态是为了探究影响抽象思雏的关键
因素,故选D。
35.D主旨大意题。全文围绕剑桥大学的实验展开,再根
据文章中最后一段得出的核心结论“Admiring the
beauty of art may be the ideal way to initiate the ab-
stract cognitive processes'”可知,欣赏艺术之美或许是
启动抽象认知思维的理想途径。故选D。
Passage 3
[语篇解读]这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了伯灵顿市公
共艺术项目联合文化日征集本地艺术家作品,涵盖视觉与
文学类型,明确报酬、时间节点及提交材料要求,作品将在
指定时段展示。
2l.D推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“The
City of Burlington public art program is presenting a se-
ries of temporary public art signs at the Beachway in
conjunction with the Ontario Culture Days.This project
will select 10 visual artists and 10 writers to create art-
work that will be displayed on temporary signs along
the multi-use path.This call is open to Burlington-
based artists and is open to all art forms that can be

将在贝希威亚海滩举办一系列临时公共艺术标识,与
安大略文化日活动同步进行。该项目将挑选10名视
觉艺术家和10名作家来创作作品,这些作品将被展示
在多用途路径上的临时标识牌上。此次征集面向伯灵
顿本地的艺术家,并且接受所有能够以标识形式呈现
的艺术形式的投稿。)”可知,文章核心内容是伯灵顿市
11
公共艺术项目联合安大略文化日,面向本地艺术家征
集可用于标牌展示的艺术作品(包括视觉艺术和文学
作品),同时明确了征集要求、时间节点、报酬及提交材
料。由此可知,这篇文章的目的是为一个项目征集艺
术作品。故选D项。
22.B细节理解题。根据Estimated Project Timeline部
分,作品展示时间为“September23一October13(9月
23日至10月13日)”计算可知,9月剩余8天(23日
30日),10月展示13天,总计21天,即三周。故选
B项。
23.A细节理解题。根据Application Package中“Art
work Statement:Please provide a brief statement(max-
imum 150 words)outlining your artwork concept.[
品说明:请提供一份筒短的说明(最多150个词),阐述
您的作品理念。]”、“Writing Submission:Submissions
must be a maximum of 250 words.It may be a stand-a
lone piece such as a poem or short story or a part taken
from a larger piece,.[文字投稿:投稿内容不得超过250
个词。可以是独立的作品,比如一首诗或一篇短篇小
说,也可以是从一篇较大作品中选取的一部分。]”以及
"Artist Biography:Please provide a short introduction
(maximum 50 words)to the artist written in the third
person,[艺术家简介:请以第三人称撰写一段简短的
艺术家介绍(最多50个词)。]”可知,A选项“150词的
诗歌”符合写作类作品“最多250词”的要求,正确。B、
C、D选项均与原文实意不符。故选A项。
Passage 4
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍关于虚
假评论的一项研究,包括研究设计、结果发现以及A1生成
虚假评论带来的识别难题等内容。
28.A细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The study used a
data set of 1,600 reviews of Chicago hotels.Some of
them were real;others were fake.The reviews were
presented to 400 subjects.Each subject got eight re-
views to read:a balanced set of two positive fake,two
positive real,two negative fake and two negative real,
presented in a random order.The reviews were written
by real people who were given information about the
hotel.(该研究使用了芝加哥酒店的1600条评论作为
数据集,其中一些是真实的,另一些是虚假的。这些评
论被呈现给400名受试者,每位受试者要阅读8条评
论:两组均衡的评论,包括2条虚假好评、2条真实好
评、2条虚假差评和2条真实差评,以随机顺序呈现。
这些评论由获得酒店相关信息的真实人员撰写。)”可
知,第二段主要介绍了这项研究的数据集、受试者以及
评论呈现方式等,即研究的设计情况。B项“它的发
现”、C项“它的目的”、D项“它的意义”均未在第二段体
现,故选A项。
29.D词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“A lengthy,positive
review,on the other hand,was regarded as suspicious,
and participants tended to trust writers that kept their
glowing reviews short..(另一方面,冗长的好评被认为
是可疑的,受试者往往更信任那些保持glowing评论简
短的作者。)”可知,此处“glowing reviews”与前文“posi
tive review(好评)”构成同义指代,由此猜测glowing意
为“赞美的、表杨的”。A项“有趣的”、B项“辱骂的”、C
项“有洞察力的”均不符合语境,故选D项。
30.B细节理解题。根据第四段中的“A long,negative
review of a hotel,complete with lots of information,
tended to convince participants.,(一条包含大量信息的
冗长酒店差评,往往更能让受试者信服。)”和“The
more dispassionate that negative write-up,the more
likely it was to take the reader in,(负面评论越冷静客
观,就越有可能让读者相信。)”可知,读者最有可能相
信的是冷静客观、不带强烈情绪的差评。A项“冗长的
好评”与“冗长的好评被认为可疑”相悖;C项“简短的差
评”与“冗长的差评更有说服力”不符;D项“热情洋溢的
好评”与“情绪强烈的评论不被信任”相悖,故选B项。
0
3l.D推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The fake reviews
written for Azimi's study were put together by humans,
but increasingly,fake reviews are being written by Al,
which makes them look more real.Though many com-
panies use algorithms to weed out fake reviews,
Azimi points out that the machines are programmed by
humans,and given our limited ability to spot fake re-
views,this isn't a good sign.(为阿齐米的研究撰写的
虚假评论是由人类编写的,但如今越来越多的虚假评
论由人工智能生成,这使得它们看起来更真实。尽管
许多公司使用算法来清除虚假评论,但阿齐米指出,这
些机器是由人类编程的,而考虑到我们识别虚假评论
的能力有限,这并不是一个好迹象。)”可推断,随着AI
生成的虚假评论越来越逼真,未来识别虚假评论将会
变得更加困难。A项“许多公司在生成虚假评论”文中
未提及;B项“撰写虚假评论将被宣布为非法”文中未提
及;C项“机器能准确检测虚假评论”与“算法由人类编
程,识别能力有限”相悖,故选D项。
Passage 5
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者
作为一名写作课老师,通过教学实践逐渐认识到学生写作
动力的来源以及写作真正意义的成长故事。
24.D细节理解题。根据第一段中“In my ninth-grade
writing class last year,I met a cowboy who saved his
town,a strict father who demanded his son earn
straight A's,and a modern-day Juliet who died of
heartbreak after her parents rejected the love of her
young life.More than once,I found myself wondering
just how my students,who'd created these people,
knew their subjects so well,.(去年,在我九年级的写作
课上,我结识了一位拯救了自己小镇的牛仔、一位要求
儿子门门功课全得A的严厉父亲,还有一位现代版的
朱丽叶一因父母反对她年少的爱情而心碎离世。不
止一次,我暗自琢磨,这些塑造了这些人物的学生,究
竞是如何如此深谙他们笔下的角色的。)”可知,这里提
到的牛仔、严厉的父亲和现代版的朱丽叶都是学生在
写作中创造出来的虚构人物。
25.D推理判断题。根据第二段中“Most of the essays
filled less than one page,and few contained a sentence
that could be interpreted as a thesis(论,点)statement..I
was shocked.Then I realized that the problem was the
question itself.They could have written pages on the
necessity of computers,but writing,in and of itself,
simply didn't strike them as important.(大多数文章篇
幅不足一页,几乎没有包含可被视为论点的句子。我
感到震惊。随后我意识到问题出在题目本身。他们本
可以就电脑的必要性写下数页内容,但写作本身根本
没让他们觉得重要。)”可推知,学生们在写第一篇作文
时表现不佳,是因为他们对写作这个话题本身不感
兴趣。
26.B词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The results were
staggering.The students took on diverse topics and
turned in stories,10 to 20 pages each,with characters
that broadened my view and touched my heart,(结果是
staggering。学生们选取了多样的主题,交上来的故事
每篇都有10到20页长,其中的人物拓宽了我的视野,
也触动了我的心。)”可知,学生们写出了内容丰富、打
动人心的故事,与之前的表现形成强烈对比。stagger-
ing意为“令人震惊的、惊人的”,与B选项“Amazing(惊
人的)”语义一致。
27.A推理判断题。根据最后一段“I walked into class believ
ing that writing is important as a means of communication.
However,my students demonstrated something more impor-
tant to me.When the final bell rang in June,I walked
away with a yearbook full of messages about writing's
most powerful significance-the ability to connect peo-
ple,to put us in another's skin,to teach us what it
means to be human.(我走进教室时坚信写作作为一种
人
交流方式至关重要。然而,学生们向我展示了更为重
要的东西。当六月的下课铃响起时,我带着一本满是
留言的年鉴离开一这些留言诉说着写作最强大的意
义:它能连接人与人,让我们换位思考,教会我们身为
人类的真谛。)”结合全文内容可知,文章通过作者的教
学经历,说明她在教导学生的同时,自己也领悟到写作
的真正意义,这一过程体现了“教学相长”的理念。选
项A“Teaching is learning.(教学相长。)”符合文中描述
的作者通过教学获得的新认识。
Passage 6
[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与
玩具小屋之间的故事,包括其来源、作者小时候与母亲
起制作玩具小屋内的物品、长大后因玩具小屋而走上写作
道路,以及多年后因母亲记忆力衰退而重新更新玩具小
屋,并在此过程中与母亲共度美好时光的经历。
41.A细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mom bent over me,
her hands on mine,gently guiding small bits of cloth
under the needle to create dollhouse bedding.She also
taught me to make mini-blankets.With a little paint
and glue,Mom demonstrated that anything could be
turned into dollhouse furniture.(妈妈俯身在我身上,
双手放在我的手上,轻轻地把小块布料引到针下,做成
玩具小屋的床上用品。她还教我制作迷你毯子。妈妈
用一点颜料和胶水向我展示,任何东西都可以变成玩
具小屋的家具。)”可知,作者的妈妈教她缝纫和制作微
型物品。故选A项。
42.D细节理解题。根据第三段中“One day,after hours
of working on my fourth book,I took a break by surf-
ing the Internet and happened to notice the beautiful
dollhouses people posted on social media.They remin-
ded me of mine.I went to the attic,brought it back to
my room and started updating it,(一天,在写了四个小
时的第四本书后,我上网休息了一下,碰巧注意到人们
在社交媒体上发布的漂亮的玩具小屋。它们让我想起
了我的玩具小屋。我去了阁楼,把它带回我的房间,开
始更新它。)”可知,作者决定更新玩具小屋是因为她在
网上看到人们分享他们的玩具小屋,这让她想起了自
己的玩具小屋。故选D项。
43.B细节理解题。根据第四段中“During the mindless
hours of sewing and furnishing(布置家具),I listened
to audiobooks about the history of dollhouses,learning
that they were not invented for play.There's a long,
rich history of people in hardship turning to dollhouses
to find comfort,(在无意识地缝纫和布置家具的几个
小时里,我听了一些关于玩具小屋历史的有声书,了解
到它们并不是为了玩而发明的。人们在困境中求助于
玩具小屋以寻求安慰,有着悠久而丰富的历史。)”可
知,作者从有声书中了解到人们曾经在玩具小屋中寻
求安慰。故选B项。
44.C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The truth was1
myself needed art to save the day.Mom was then slip-
ping away from me owing to progressive memory loss.
The only topic we could discuss with any genuine joy
was the update of the dollhouse.She loved retelling its
history一those old memories.(事实是我自己也需要
艺术来拯救这一天。当时,由于记忆力逐渐衰退,妈妈
正从我身边溜走。我们唯一能真正愉快地讨论的话题
就是玩具小屋的更新。她喜欢重述它的历史一一那些
古老的记忆。)”可知,玩具小屋是作者和母亲一起回忆
美好旧时光的工具,在母亲记忆力衰退的情况下,它成
为了加强她们之间情感联系的纽带。故选C项。
45.C主旨大意题。通读全文,根据最后一段中“The
truth was I myself needed art to save the day.Mom
was then slipping away from me owing to progressive
memory loss.The only topic we could discuss with any
genuine joy was the update of the dollhouse.She loved
retelling its history一those old memories,(事实是我

1
渐衰退,妈妈正从我身边溜走。我们唯一能真正愉快
地讨论的话题就是玩具小屋的更新。她喜欢重述它的
历史一那些古老的记忆。)”可知,文章主要讲述了作
者与玩具小屋之间的故事,玩具小屋不仅仅是玩具,它
承载了作者和母亲的美好回忆和情感,C项“The Doll-
house:More Than Just a Toy(玩具小屋:不仅仅是一
个玩具)”概括文章主旨,适合作为标题。故选C项。

是辛辛那提舞台上的常客。他是儿童剧院的明星演员,
曾在《断头谷的传说》和《绿野仙踪》中担任主角,也是新泽
西制作公司‘Ragtime'的新成员。)”可知,Turner是辛辛那
提舞台上的常客,儿童剧院的明星演员,曾在《断头谷的传
说》和《绿野仙踪》中担任主角;根据第五段中的“Mc
Math is a junior at Beechwood High School.He was in
the cast of'Tom Sawyer'when it was first performed
and is a Children's Theatre regular,with five shows to
his credit,.(McMath是比奇伍德高中的三年级学生。

dren.Many parents say there's too much traffic on the
roads for their children to walk safely to school,so they
pack them into the car instead.(虽然近年来我们的街道
可能已经改善了安全性,但交通研究也表明行人的流
动性下降,尤其是少年儿童。许多家长说,路上的交通
太拥挤,他们的孩子无法安全步行上学,所以他们把孩
