一、阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
China's Belt and Road Initiative has been extensively analyzed through economic and geopolitical lenses, but its environmental dimensions are less frequently examined. The initiative, which encompasses infrastructure projects across Asia, Africa, and Europe, carries profound implications for biodiversity, climate change, and sustainable development. The ecological footprint of this massive undertaking may prove as significant as its economic impact.
The scale of infrastructure development under the Belt and Road is unprecedented. New roads, railways, ports, and power plants cut through diverse ecosystems that harbor some of the world's most threatened species. The route traverses regions that are home to Asian elephants, snow leopards, and orangutans. The fragmentation of habitats caused by roads and railways is a particular concern, as it isolates populations and impedes animal movement. Conservationists have documented increased human-wildlife conflict in regions where infrastructure has been built without adequate ecological safeguards.
Yet the initiative also contains opportunities for environmental leadership. The Belt and Road countries collectively account for a significant portion of global greenhouse gas emissions, and their infrastructure choices will influence climate trajectories for decades. China has promoted green investment standards within the initiative, requiring projects to meet certain environmental criteria to receive financing. Some projects have incorporated renewable energy components—solar farms in the deserts of Central Asia and hydropower in Southeast Asia, for example. The potential for the initiative to accelerate the global energy transition is substantial.
The concept of "green Belt and Road" has gained traction within Chinese policy circles, reflecting recognition that environmental sustainability is not merely an add-on but integral to the initiative's long-term viability. Projects that degrade the environment may create short-term economic gains but undermine the long-term development objectives that Belt and Road seeks to achieve. The same infrastructure that enables trade can also enable the spread of invasive species, pollution, and resource extraction that depletes host countries' natural capital.
Implementation of green standards, however, remains inconsistent. Critics charge that environmental assessments are sometimes conducted superficially or after construction decisions have already been made. Enforcement capacity varies across countries, and economic pressures to complete projects quickly often override environmental considerations. The tension between development speed and environmental protection is not unique to the Belt and Road, but the initiative's scale magnifies its consequences.
The initiative's environmental legacy will ultimately depend on choices made in the coming decade. Will it accelerate the degradation of vulnerable ecosystems, or will it demonstrate that large-scale infrastructure can be reconciled with ecological integrity? The answer lies not in pronouncements but in the actual implementation of standards. The Belt and Road has the capacity to become either a cautionary tale or a model of sustainable development. The choice remains open.
1.What is the author's primary purpose in this passage?
A. To argue that the Belt and Road Initiative should be cancelled
B. To explain how the Belt and Road Initiative can create both risks and opportunities for the environment
C. To promote only the economic benefits of the Belt and Road Initiative
D. To criticize China's environmental policies without any balance
2.According to paragraph 2, what is a significant concern about infrastructure development under the Belt and Road?
A. It is too expensive for most countries
B. It causes habitat fragmentation that affects wildlife
C. It has failed to create any economic benefits
D. It ignores all environmental issues completely
3.The underlined word "fragmentation" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. protection B. breaking apart C. improvement D. construction
4.What does the author imply about the "green Belt and Road" concept in paragraph 4?
A. It is a meaningless concept that has no real impact
B. It reflects the recognition that environmental sustainability is important for long-term success
C. It has completely transformed all Belt and Road projects
D. It proves that China's environmental policies are perfect
B
The conventional wisdom that China is a nation of introverts is being challenged by a gradual but discernible shift in social norms. In urban centers, particularly among younger generations, behaviors that were once considered socially inappropriate—public displays of emotion, assertive self-expression, and casual conversation with strangers—are becoming increasingly common. This transformation has profound implications for understanding contemporary Chinese identity.
This shift is partly attributable to changing child-rearing practices. China's one-child policy, now relaxed, produced a generation that received unprecedented parental attention and encouragement. Unlike their parents, who were often expected to be seen but not heard, these children were nurtured to express themselves and develop their individual personalities. This early cultivation of self-confidence has translated into adulthood: young Chinese are more likely to voice opinions, initiate conversations with strangers, and engage in direct eye contact during discussions.
The digital environment has been a powerful amplifier. Social media platforms encourage self-expression and public sharing of personal experiences, a practice that was once considered private. Online communities provide rehearsal spaces for social behaviors that may feel unfamiliar offline. For those who are naturally more reserved, the internet offers a low-pressure environment to practice assertive communication. What begins as online expression often carries over into face-to-face interactions.
Contemporary education is also playing a role. Schools increasingly value and teach "soft skills"—communication, presentation abilities, leadership qualities—that were previously underemphasized. Group discussions, project presentations, and student-led activities develop students' confidence in public speaking and collaborative engagement. These skills, once considered peripheral to academic education, are now seen as essential for professional success.
The economic context reinforces these changes. In a service-oriented economy, many jobs require interpersonal interaction and relationship-building. The old model of silent conformity is less effective in professional environments where networking, negotiation, and persuasion are valued. Those who can express themselves confidently often have a competitive advantage in hiring and promotion decisions.
This transformation is not uniform. Regional variations persist, with coastal urban areas experiencing more pronounced changes than interior regions. Older generations often find the new social norms uncomfortable. Furthermore, the shift does not mean that traditional values of modesty and restraint have disappeared. Rather, a new behavioral repertoire has been added to the existing one, expanding the range of acceptable social behaviors. What is emerging is not the replacement of traditional norms but their evolution in response to changing social and economic realities.
5.According to paragraph 2, how did the one-child policy influence the personality development of the only-child generation?
A. It made them more reserved and less likely to express themselves
B. It encouraged self-expression and confidence through parental attention
C. It had no effect on their personality development
D. It made them more dependent on their parents than previous generations
6.What role does the author suggest social media plays in the shift toward more assertive behavior?
A. It is the only reason for the change
B. It provides practice space for social behaviors and encourages self-expression
C. It discourages face-to-face interaction entirely
D. It replaces all traditional forms of communication
7.The phrase "soft skills" in paragraph 4 refers to abilities that ______.
A. are easy to learn and require no practice
B. are only useful in academic settings
C. relate to communication, leadership, and collaboration
D. are less important than technical skills
8.Which of the following best describes the author's overall view of the change in Chinese social norms?
A. It is a complete rejection of traditional values
B. It is a negative development that should be reversed
C. It is an evolution rather than a replacement, expanding the range of social behaviors
D. It has occurred uniformly throughout China
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
C
The psychology of financial decision-making challenges the fundamental assumption of classical economics: that human beings are rational actors who make decisions based on logical assessment of costs and benefits. Behavioral economists have demonstrated that financial choices are profoundly influenced by cognitive biases, emotional states, and social pressures. Understanding these psychological factors is essential for making better financial decisions.
[9] ______ The pain of losing is psychologically about twice as powerful as the pleasure of gaining. This asymmetry explains why investors often hold losing investments too long—they are unwilling to realize a loss—while selling winning investments too quickly to secure a gain. The avoidance of regret, a related phenomenon, leads people to avoid decisions that might later be blamed, even when those decisions are financially prudent.
[10] ______ People tend to focus on recent events and overweight them in their decision-making. Investors who have recently experienced a market downturn become excessively cautious, while those who have experienced a bull market become overly optimistic. This pattern contributes to market cycles and can lead to buying high and selling low—the opposite of sound investment strategy.
[11] ______ People have a default tendency to stay with what they are familiar with rather than exploring alternatives. This can lead to excessive concentration in familiar investments, such as company stock or domestic assets, rather than diversified portfolios. While familiarity provides comfort, it often comes at the cost of exposure to unnecessary risk.
[12] ______ The way a choice is presented affects the decision. For example, consumers are more likely to choose a product described as "90 percent fat-free" than one described as "10 percent fat," even though the information is identical. In financial contexts, framing can influence willingness to invest, take risks, or save for retirement. Being aware of framing effects helps individuals recognize when their decisions are being shaped by presentation rather than substance.
[13] ______ Recognizing one's own biases is the first step; setting automatic rules for financial behavior is often more effective than relying on willpower. Research suggests that financial literacy alone is insufficient—knowledge must be paired with strategies that counteract cognitive weaknesses. The goal is not to eliminate bias, which may be impossible, but to create systems that protect against its worst effects.
选项(A-G):
A. Loss aversion is one of the most consistent and powerful biases.
B. Overconfidence leads to excessive risk-taking.
C. Recency bias causes people to give too much weight to recent experiences.
D. Framing effects demonstrate that context matters in financial decisions.
E. The status quo bias reflects a preference for the existing state of affairs.
F. Financial education should focus only on mathematical formulas.
G. Awareness of these biases is useful, but behavioral change requires more than understanding.
参考答案与解析

解析:主旨大意题。文章开篇提出"一带一路"的环境维度分析较少,随后分别讨论其带来的生态风险(第二段:栖息地破碎化、人兽冲突)和机遇(第三段:绿色投资标准、可再生能源),第四段说明"绿色一带一路"概念的认可,第五段指出执行中的不一致,最后以开放式结论收束。全文旨在说明"一带一路"对环境既有风险也有机遇,并非单纯鼓吹或批判。A项"应取消"和C项"只推广经济收益"均与全文基调不符;D项"批评无平衡"忽略了文中对机遇的讨论。
第2题 答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第二段明确指出"the fragmentation of habitats caused by roads and railways is a particular concern, as it isolates populations and impedes animal movement"。A项"太贵"未提及;C项"未产生经济收益"与事实不符;D项"完全无视"过于绝对,文中提到"without adequate ecological safeguards"而非完全无视。
第3题 答案:B
解析:词汇猜测题。"fragmentation"意为"破碎化、分割"。文中描述基础设施将栖息地切割成碎片,孤立种群、阻碍动物移动。protection(保护)、improvement(改进)、construction(建设)均不符合语境。
第4题 答案:B
解析:推理判断题。第四段指出"green Belt and Road"概念获得关注,反映出"environmental sustainability is not merely an add-on but integral to the initiative's long-term viability"。A项"无实际影响"与"gained traction"矛盾;C项"已完全改变所有项目"与第五段"implementation... remains inconsistent"矛盾;D项"证明中国环境政策完美"过于绝对且与第五段的批评矛盾。
阅读理解 B篇
第5题 答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第二段明确指出独生子女"received unprecedented parental attention and encouragement","nurtured to express themselves and develop their individual personalities","early cultivation of self-confidence"。A项"更内向"与原文相反;C项"无影响"与原文"produced a generation"的矛盾;D项"更依赖父母"文中未提及。
第6题 答案:B
解析:细节理解题。第三段指出社交媒体"encourage self-expression","provide rehearsal spaces for social behaviors that may feel unfamiliar offline","what begins as online expression often carries over into face-to-face interactions"。A项"唯一原因"过于绝对,文中还提到育儿方式、教育、经济等因素;C项"完全阻止面对面互动"与"carries over into face-to-face"相反;D项"取代所有传统交流方式"过于极端。
第7题 答案:C
解析:词汇释义题。第四段定义soft skills为"communication, presentation abilities, leadership qualities",并强调"Group discussions, project presentations, and student-led activities develop students' confidence in public speaking and collaborative engagement"。A项"容易学无需练习"与"increasingly valued"和学校教学投入矛盾;B项"仅适用于学术环境"与"essential for professional success"矛盾;D项"不如技术技能重要"与原文"increasingly valued""seen as essential"相反。
第8题 答案:C
解析:观点态度题。最后一段总结"the shift does not mean that traditional values... have disappeared. Rather, a new behavioral repertoire has been added to the existing one... What is emerging is not the replacement of traditional norms but their evolution"。A项"完全否定传统"与原文相反;B项"消极逆转"文中无此评价;D项"全中国统一"与"Regional variations persist"矛盾。
阅读理解 C篇(七选五)
第9题 答案:A
解析:后文描述了"失去的痛苦大约是获得快乐的痛苦的两倍"以及投资者因不愿承受损失而长期持有亏损投资的现象,这正是"loss aversion"(损失厌恶)的具体表现。A项"损失厌恶是最一致、最强烈的偏见之一"是本段主题句,与后文内容完全匹配。
第10题 答案:C
解析:本段描述人们往往关注近期事件并在决策中过度重视它们,即"recency bias"(近因偏差)。C项"近因偏差导致人们对近期经历给予过多权重"准确概括了该段内容。B项"过度自信导致过度冒险"与本段无关。
第11题 答案:E
解析:本段描述人们倾向于维持熟悉状态而非探索替代方案,会导致过度集中于熟悉投资而缺乏多样化。E项"现状偏见反映了对现有状态的偏好"直接概括了该段的核心概念。C项已经用于第10空。
第12题 答案:D
解析:本段核心是"呈现方式如何影响决策",举例说明相同信息以不同方式呈现会导致不同选择——即"framing effects"(框架效应)。D项"框架效应表明语境在财务决策中重要"准确概括了该段内容。
第13题 答案:G
解析:前文讨论了多种偏见,后文指出"认识到自己的偏见是第一步,但仅靠认识不够,还需制定自动规则"。G项"对这些偏见的认识是有用的,但行为改变需要比理解更多的东西"承上启下——既承接了对偏见的讨论,又引出后文关于策略和制度的建议。F项"金融教育应只关注数学公式"与全文强调心理因素的基调完全相悖。
