With stunning visuals of Tamil Nadu’s nature, The Elephant Whisperers, which won the Oscar in the documentary short film category, tells a story of a loving relationship between people and elephants.
The filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves spent her childhood in and around nature in southern India. “My family loved exploring nature,” she says. Her mother loved animals and her father was a photographer. Her grandmother led school trips to local nature reserves.
The chance elephant encounter came in October 2017 that changed Gonsalves’s life and stimulated her to make the film. “I was moving back to my hometown when I met Raghu, a three-month-old elephant in the Theppakadu Elephant camp,” she recalls. Gonsalves was pleasantly surprised by how playful Raghu was.
“This documentary was made because I fell in love with Raghu first,” she says. “We would happily splash (戏水) along the river, and I would spend hours scrubbing him and rubbing his tongue. He absolutely loves his tongue being rubbed and enjoyed pulling my hair and splashing around in the water.
In the film, Gonsalves takes viewers to the heart of Theppakadu Elephant camp in a landscape that is one of the largest undisturbed spaces for the Asian elephant. Here, the Kattunayakan community has been caring for abandoned elephants for generations. The documentary follows the journey of Bomman and Bellie, two elephant caretakers and the baby elephant Raghu, who was abandoned by the herd but fortunately found by the forest department. As Bomman and Bellie raised Raghu, their relationship progressed. The 40-minute documentary was cut down from more than 450 hours of raw footage (镜头) and filmed over the last five years.
A lot of the moments in the documentary were unexpected but “that is the true beauty of telling a story as it unfolds.” Gonsalves says, “The Elephant Whisperers helps people realize what beautiful beings elephants were and to respect their intelligence, how they love and understand their human caretakers, how they’ve learned to adapt and live with human. I wanted The Elephant Whisperers to be that glow of hope.”
4. How did Gonsalves family influence her?
A. They encouraged her to make films. B. They fired her love for nature.
C. They encouraged her to leave India. D. They taught her photography skills.
5. What can we learn about Raghu?
A. He was abandoned by the forest department. B. He lives in a well-designed reserve.
C. He is deeply attached to the film maker. D. He loves rubbing his own tongue.
6. Which words best describes the shooting process of the documentary?
A. Pleasant and amusing. B. Tough but rewarding.
C. Frustrating but adventurous. D. Romantic and unexpected.
7. What is conveyed in The Elephant Whisperers?
A. Respect for biological diversity. B. Prevention of illegal hunting.

Eco-anxiety is a growing issue that reflects the increasing fear of environmental destruction and climate change. This type of anxiety is particularly common among younger generations, who worry about the future of the planet.
Eco-anxiety is closely linked to environmental disasters such as heat waves, wildfires, and hurricanes. These events can lead to long-term stress, depression, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The concept of “Solastalgia,” which refers to emotional suffering caused by changes to one’s environment, supports the reality of eco-anxiety. Although the term “eco-anxiety” is more modern, the emotional response to environmental damage is well-documented.
Certain social, economic, and political factors can make some people more likely to suffer from eco-anxiety than others. For instance, nearly half of the people in Southeast England express high levels of concern about climate change, more than those in other regions. This heightened anxiety could be related to factors such as urbanization, the area’s growing population, and high levels of consumption, all of which contribute to environmental degradation.
There are several strategies people can use to manage eco-anxiety. One important approach is controlling how much negative news you consume. Too much exposure to disturbing content on social media or news outlets can increase feelings of worry and helplessness. Limiting this exposure and focusing on learning new and positive information can help you feel more empowered.
Spending time in nature is another effective way to reduce eco-anxiety. Research shows that being in natural environments, or even viewing nature from a window, can lower stress and improve mood. It fosters a deeper connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
Journaling is also a helpful tool. Writing down your feelings can help reduce anxiety by organizing thoughts and expressing emotions. Businesses like “Bloomin’s Minds” combine mindfulness with sustainability by offering seeded cards that customers can write on how they plant, and watch grow into flowers, creating a positive and calming experience.
As eco-anxiety becomes more widespread, mindful lifestyle changes are helping to reduce the impact of climate change while easing anxiety. These practices enable individuals to contribute positively to the environment.
8. According to the text, which of the following may cause Solastalgia?
A. Seeing a nearby playground being cleared.
B. Living in a region experiencing frequent rainfall.
C. Volunteering for an environmental conservation group.
D. Watching childhood park destroyed by city development.
9. What is the function of the example about people in England?
A. To show the geographic diversity of eco-anxiety.
B. To explain the impact of social anxiety on nature.
C. To criticize the lack of environmental policies in the area.
D. To stress the connection between urbanization and the issue.
10. Which strategy is helpful to manage eco-anxiety?
A. Limiting exposure to negative news. B. Controlling the time of online surfing.
C. Trying to write down your adventures. D. Engaging in outdoor physical exercises.
11. What does mindful living do for eco-anxiety in the last paragraph?
A. It leads people to forget about environmental problems and anxiety.
B. It offers practical ways for people to bravely face the climate issues.
C. It deepens a connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
D. It makes individuals feel more disconnected from environmental issues.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The concept of “Solastalgia,” which refers to emotional suffering caused by changes to one’s environment, supports the reality of eco-anxiety.(“Solastalgia”指的是因环境变化而引起的情绪痛苦,这一概念支持了生态焦虑的现实)”可知,“Solastalgia”指的是因环境变化而引起的情绪痛苦。由此推知,看着童年公园被城市发展摧毁可能导致Solastalgia。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Certain social, economic, and political factors can make some people more likely to suffer from eco-anxiety than others. For instance, nearly half of the people in Southeast England express high levels of concern about climate change, more than those in other regions. This heightened anxiety could be related to factors such as urbanization, the area’s growing population, and high levels of consumption, all of which contribute to environmental degradation.(某些社会、经济和政治因素可能使一些人比其他人更容易遭受生态焦虑。例如,英格兰东南部近一半的人表达了对气候变化的高度关注,比其他地区的人更多。这种加剧的焦虑可能与城市化、该地区不断增长的人口和高水平的消费等因素有关,所有这些因素都会导致环境恶化)”可知,这个关于英国人的例子的作用是强调城市化和生态焦虑之间的联系。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“One important approach is controlling how much negative news you consume. Too much exposure to disturbing content on social media or news outlets can increase feelings of worry and helplessness. Limiting this exposure and focusing on learning new and positive information can help you feel more empowered.(一个重要的方法是控制负面新闻的摄入量。过多地接触社交媒体或新闻媒体上令人不安的内容会增加焦虑和无助感。限制这种接触,专注于学习新的和积极的信息可以帮助你感觉更有力量)”可知,限制负面新闻的曝光有助于管理生态焦虑。故选A。

The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical—but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. What is the primary function of the artificial sensor system developed by the researchers?
A. To generate electric fields for energy production.
B. To detect the presence of nearby objects without physical contact.
C. To transmit electric signals for communication.
D. To create a biogel for medical applications.
13. How does the artificial sensor system achieve 3D motion positioning?
A. By using a single-layer transmitter and receiver.
B. By disrupting the electric field around the sensor when an object is nearby.
C. By requiring a large number of sensors for spatial positioning.
D. By relying solely on the biogel for signal transmission.
14. What is the significance of using a biogel in the sensor system?
A. It increases the power consumption of the system.
B. It allows the sensor to be thin, soft, and flexible.
C. It enables the sensor to transmit electric signals wirelessly.
D. It is necessary for the sensor to function underwater.
15. What potential application is mentioned for the new sensor system?
A. Enhancing the efficiency of traditional sensor systems.
B. Creating new wearable technologies for human-machine interaction.
C. Improving the accuracy of electric fish detection.
D. Developing new types of biogel for medical purposes.

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。
Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. ____16____ And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big report sits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?
To understand this, we conducted a series of studies and identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.
We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect? ____17____ When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.
These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. ____18____ They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.
____19____ If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose those that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.
So, if you’re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’re consuming. ____20____ Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.
A. It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.
B. To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video.
C. You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.
D. Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.
E. This will be a problem if you are kept from focusing on your work.
F. Many platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.
G. Prior research suggests the three factors increase the accessibility of similar media.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国著名画家齐白石的艺术生涯和成就。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:齐白石(1864年—1957年)是当时最受欢迎的中国画家之一,与他那个时代的其他画家不同,他没有受到西方绘画风格的影响。空处引导定语从句,先行词painters,指人,且在从句中作主语,因此用关系代词who或that引导。故填who/that。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:他十四岁时成为了一名木匠,由于自身的努力,他在篆刻、绘画、书法和诗歌方面都技艺精湛。carpenter为可数名词,此处表示泛指,且carpenter发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:对齐白石产生主要影响的人物之一是清初画家朱耷,还有明代艺术家徐渭。根据句意可知,此处表示“影响者”或“影响”,且one of后接可数名词复数,因此用influences或influencers。故填influences/influencers。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:齐白石在中国艺术界闻名,是因为他为人们熟悉的绘画题材,如蔬菜、人物、花卉、昆虫、山水风景以及动物等,带来了自然的灵动和鲜活的气息。空处与“spontaneity”并列作介词for的宾语,因此用名词freshness。故填freshness。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:在晚年,齐白石将创作重心转移到了禽鸟、虾和老鼠等题材上。shift…to…表示“把……转移到……”,是固定搭配。故填to。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意:1953年,他当选为中国美术家协会主席,并曾短暂担任于1957年5月成立的北京中国画院的院长一职。根据时间状语“In 1953”可知,此处是过去时,且主语he与动词elect之间是被动关系,需用被动语态,主语为he,be动词用was。故填was elected。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意同上。修饰动词短语served as,需用副词briefly,作状语。故填briefly。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意同上。此处是非谓语动词作定语,修饰the Beijing Academy of Chinese Painting,且found与the Beijing Academy of Chinese Painting之间是被动关系,所以使用过去分词founded。故填founded。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:总而言之,齐白石运用遒劲的笔触、鲜艳的色彩和浓重的墨色,成功创作出了生动鲜活的作品,这些作品表达了他对生活和自然的热爱。manage to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“设法做成某事”。故填to create。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:齐白石的作品将中国传统绘画技法与现代审美意识独特地融合在一起,持续吸引着观众,也奠定了他在中国艺术史上的重要地位。此处是非谓语动词作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,且ensure与主语Qi Baishi’s works之间是主动关系,所以使用现在分词ensuring。故填ensuring。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. Some described winning a tournament. Some described riding others' bikes at described winning a tournament. Some described riding others' bikes at the best when I first learned how to ride a bike. But I felt stares and snickering (窃笑), because I knew there was thirteen to my story. But I didn't tell my classmates.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn't stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn't stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times,, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally in different; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. In different or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that's how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
注意:
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside. I turned my face away, fearing he would tease me. Unexpectedly, he gently picked my bike up and gestured me over, “Get on it.” His determined look smoothed away my doubts. As he gripped the back seat, I got on the bike, took a deep breath and started to pedal, holding tightly onto the handlebars. During the whole process, we didn’t talk much. He simply offered a few necessary instructions at times. But never once did he shout at me, nor did he let me fall. His patient teaching proved efficient and I gradually got the hang of riding.
An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom. She was amazed to see me riding steadily around the yard. While sharing my learning experience with her in excitement, I noticed my brother standing at a distance smiling at me. I cast him a grateful look and he nodded and then walked back into the house. From that day on, the sad pattern between us began to change. There were occasional conversations between us, filled with less embarrassment but increasing concern. I could feel a different kind of brotherly relationship slowly developing between us. I would always treasure that day as my favourite memory, the moment when I felt the best.

With stunning visuals of Tamil Nadu’s nature, The Elephant Whisperers, which won the Oscar in the documentary short film category, tells a story of a loving relationship between people and elephants.
The filmmaker Kartiki Gonsalves spent her childhood in and around nature in southern India. “My family loved exploring nature,” she says. Her mother loved animals and her father was a photographer. Her grandmother led school trips to local nature reserves.
The chance elephant encounter came in October 2017 that changed Gonsalves’s life and stimulated her to make the film. “I was moving back to my hometown when I met Raghu, a three-month-old elephant in the Theppakadu Elephant camp,” she recalls. Gonsalves was pleasantly surprised by how playful Raghu was.
“This documentary was made because I fell in love with Raghu first,” she says. “We would happily splash (戏水) along the river, and I would spend hours scrubbing him and rubbing his tongue. He absolutely loves his tongue being rubbed and enjoyed pulling my hair and splashing around in the water.
In the film, Gonsalves takes viewers to the heart of Theppakadu Elephant camp in a landscape that is one of the largest undisturbed spaces for the Asian elephant. Here, the Kattunayakan community has been caring for abandoned elephants for generations. The documentary follows the journey of Bomman and Bellie, two elephant caretakers and the baby elephant Raghu, who was abandoned by the herd but fortunately found by the forest department. As Bomman and Bellie raised Raghu, their relationship progressed. The 40-minute documentary was cut down from more than 450 hours of raw footage (镜头) and filmed over the last five years.
A lot of the moments in the documentary were unexpected but “that is the true beauty of telling a story as it unfolds.” Gonsalves says, “The Elephant Whisperers helps people realize what beautiful beings elephants were and to respect their intelligence, how they love and understand their human caretakers, how they’ve learned to adapt and live with human. I wanted The Elephant Whisperers to be that glow of hope.”
4. How did Gonsalves family influence her?
A. They encouraged her to make films. B. They fired her love for nature.
C. They encouraged her to leave India. D. They taught her photography skills.
5. What can we learn about Raghu?
A. He was abandoned by the forest department. B. He lives in a well-designed reserve.
C. He is deeply attached to the film maker. D. He loves rubbing his own tongue.
6. Which words best describes the shooting process of the documentary?
A. Pleasant and amusing. B. Tough but rewarding.
C. Frustrating but adventurous. D. Romantic and unexpected.
7. What is conveyed in The Elephant Whisperers?
A. Respect for biological diversity. B. Prevention of illegal hunting.
C. Harmonious coexistence. D. Endangered Species Conservation.

Eco-anxiety is a growing issue that reflects the increasing fear of environmental destruction and climate change. This type of anxiety is particularly common among younger generations, who worry about the future of the planet.
Eco-anxiety is closely linked to environmental disasters such as heat waves, wildfires, and hurricanes. These events can lead to long-term stress, depression, and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The concept of “Solastalgia,” which refers to emotional suffering caused by changes to one’s environment, supports the reality of eco-anxiety. Although the term “eco-anxiety” is more modern, the emotional response to environmental damage is well-documented.
Certain social, economic, and political factors can make some people more likely to suffer from eco-anxiety than others. For instance, nearly half of the people in Southeast England express high levels of concern about climate change, more than those in other regions. This heightened anxiety could be related to factors such as urbanization, the area’s growing population, and high levels of consumption, all of which contribute to environmental degradation.
There are several strategies people can use to manage eco-anxiety. One important approach is controlling how much negative news you consume. Too much exposure to disturbing content on social media or news outlets can increase feelings of worry and helplessness. Limiting this exposure and focusing on learning new and positive information can help you feel more empowered.
Spending time in nature is another effective way to reduce eco-anxiety. Research shows that being in natural environments, or even viewing nature from a window, can lower stress and improve mood. It fosters a deeper connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
Journaling is also a helpful tool. Writing down your feelings can help reduce anxiety by organizing thoughts and expressing emotions. Businesses like “Bloomin’s Minds” combine mindfulness with sustainability by offering seeded cards that customers can write on how they plant, and watch grow into flowers, creating a positive and calming experience.
As eco-anxiety becomes more widespread, mindful lifestyle changes are helping to reduce the impact of climate change while easing anxiety. These practices enable individuals to contribute positively to the environment.
8. According to the text, which of the following may cause Solastalgia?
A. Seeing a nearby playground being cleared.
B. Living in a region experiencing frequent rainfall.
C. Volunteering for an environmental conservation group.
D. Watching childhood park destroyed by city development.
9. What is the function of the example about people in England?
A. To show the geographic diversity of eco-anxiety.
B. To explain the impact of social anxiety on nature.
C. To criticize the lack of environmental policies in the area.
D. To stress the connection between urbanization and the issue.
10. Which strategy is helpful to manage eco-anxiety?
A. Limiting exposure to negative news. B. Controlling the time of online surfing.
C. Trying to write down your adventures. D. Engaging in outdoor physical exercises.
11. What does mindful living do for eco-anxiety in the last paragraph?
A. It leads people to forget about environmental problems and anxiety.
B. It offers practical ways for people to bravely face the climate issues.
C. It deepens a connection with the environment and promotes calmness.
D. It makes individuals feel more disconnected from environmental issues.
D
The ability to detect a nearby presence without seeing or touching it may sound fantastical—but it’s a real ability that some creatures have. A family of African fish known as Mormyrids are weakly electric, and have special organs that can locate a nearby target, even when it’s hiding in the mud. Scientists have now developed an artificial sensor system modelled on the ability of these fish.
“We developed a new strategy for 3D motion positioning by electronic skin, bio-inspired by ‘electric fish’,” says Dr. Xinge Yu, an associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong. The team described their e-skin sensor in a paper published on November 14 in Nature.
The artificial sensor is multi-layered. One layer acts as a transmitter (发射器), which will generate an electric field once activated, and another layer acts as a receiver to detect both the direction and the distance to an object. A separate controller creates the driving signal to activate the transmitter. When an object comes within range, the electric field around the sensor is disrupted (扰乱), which in turn can be detected by the receiver. This data is then processed by a microcontroller unit, which computes the position of the target object and sends that information to a smartphone or other devices.
A special biogel (生物凝胶) is used in the sensor, which has the ability to transmit and receive electric signals from a pattern of microchannels on the surface. The end result is a sensor that is thin, soft and flexible, making it cosy to adapt to irregular surfaces, such as the human body. In contrast to the traditional sensor system that needs a large number of sensors to achieve spatial positioning, the new system can locate an object precisely in 3D space using just a few sensors. This significantly reduces the power consumption of data collection, transmission, and processing.
The researchers hope that this sensor could one day open up a new range of wearable technologies, including sensors for human-machine interaction and thin, flexible e-skin.
12. What is the primary function of the artificial sensor system developed by the researchers?
A. To generate electric fields for energy production.
B. To detect the presence of nearby objects without physical contact.
C. To transmit electric signals for communication.
D. To create a biogel for medical applications.
13. How does the artificial sensor system achieve 3D motion positioning?
A. By using a single-layer transmitter and receiver.
B. By disrupting the electric field around the sensor when an object is nearby.
C. By requiring a large number of sensors for spatial positioning.
D. By relying solely on the biogel for signal transmission.
14. What is the significance of using a biogel in the sensor system?
A. It increases the power consumption of the system.
B. It allows the sensor to be thin, soft, and flexible.
C. It enables the sensor to transmit electric signals wirelessly.
D. It is necessary for the sensor to function underwater.
15. What potential application is mentioned for the new sensor system?
A. Enhancing the efficiency of traditional sensor systems.
B. Creating new wearable technologies for human-machine interaction.
C. Improving the accuracy of electric fish detection.
D. Developing new types of biogel for medical purposes.

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。
Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. ____16____ And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big report sits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?
To understand this, we conducted a series of studies and identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.
We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect? ____17____ When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.
These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. ____18____ They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.
____19____ If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose those that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.
So, if you’re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’re consuming. ____20____ Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.
A. It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.
B. To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video.
C. You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.
D. Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.
E. This will be a problem if you are kept from focusing on your work.
F. Many platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.
G. Prior research suggests the three factors increase the accessibility of similar media.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One of my teachers once asked my class what our favorite memory was. She was asking for the moment in which you felt that you had the world in the palm of your hand. Some described winning a tournament. Some described riding others' bikes at described winning a tournament. Some described riding others' bikes at the best when I first learned how to ride a bike. But I felt stares and snickering (窃笑), because I knew there was thirteen to my story. But I didn't tell my classmates.
My brother and I shared a typical brotherly relationship: we couldn't stand each other. Or, to be honest, he couldn't stand me. I hero-worshipped him. My clothes mysteriously looked like his, and even my words tended to mimic those I heard from him. Many times,, I even wanted to literally follow my brother, sobbing every time I was prevented from hanging around with him. Needless to say, I was an annoyance to him. Any sort of conversation we had usually degraded to fighting, and try as I might, my brother usually won.
After a while, I stopped trying to impress him and learned to be totally in different; perhaps the silent treatment would get more approval. I was wrong. We soon fell into a sad pattern I avoided him, he ignored me, and deep inside, it hurt. In different or hostile, he was only a brother in name. So that's how it was between us. I believed we would forever be apart, two housemates without conversation, two strangers without warmth. And nothing more.
I still remember the day I learned to ride a bike. I had received it that Christmas, which was great, until I realized I had no idea how to ride it. My mom was too busy and had long since abandoned any attempt to teach me. I decided to teach myself to ride, a little bit each day, but in vain. On that fateful day, it was no different. I was coming to the end of my daily one-hour torture, and I was so frustrated that I threw my bike aside and began to cry.
注意:
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
I guess that was what caused my brother to come outside.

An hour later, I was showing off my riding skill to my mom.
