Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD. Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to. Luckily, I discovered the job — Data Analyst — this month and have been going full steam ahead. I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you. You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart. For the first time, I feel good about myself because I’m doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good. I feel whole.
This is why you’re saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis
5. Why didn’t Tanis go to college after high school?

B. She had more difficulty keeping focused.
C. She preferred taking online courses.
D. She was too slow to learn.
6. What does Tanis prefer as for the working environment?

7. Why did Tanis write this letter?

Picture this: you win three tickets to a sold-out concert and excitedly text your friends to see if they would like to join you. Their reply? “Maybe.” Immediately, your excitement drops, for now you have to wait for their decisions before you can finalize your concert plans.
If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life. So, what’s going on when people aren’t sure how to refuse an invitation? What leads to this uncertain, awkward behavior?
Researchers have found that people prefer saying “maybe” to saying “no” because of something called motivated reasoning (动机性推理), which happens when invitees view information in a biased way to serve their own interests. In other words, receivers of an invitation make themselves believe that inviters want to hear a “maybe” because it helps them keep their choices open. Also, people often imagine that saying “no” will ruin the relationship, completely ignoring the possibility that honesty might be appreciated.
However, there are situations where motivated reasoning fails, and people choose to say “no” directly. When invitees put themselves in the inviter’s shoes, they realize that a clear “no” is more helpful. Additionally, if the invitation holds no interest for them at all, they no longer feel the need to leave their options available.
While saying “no” can be uncomfortable, being direct and clear is always the best policy. It may limit your choices, but it saves the inviter from uncertainty and helps protect the relationship. Next time a hot concert comes along, your friends will be even more likely to think of you first!
8. Why does the author mention the concert story in Paragraph 1?
A. To encourage quick replies. B. To reflect common feelings.
C. To introduce a social situation. D. To explain invitees’ motivation.
9. What does the underlined word “biased” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Positive B. Objective C. One-sided D. Reasonable
10. What makes invitees prefer a “no” in certain situations?
A. Consideration for the inviter. B. Fear of ruining the relationship.
C. Uncertainty about the invitation. D. Wishes to keep their choices open.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward saying “maybe” to an invitation?
A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
D
Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.
But the researchers are trying to help them: it is a controlled experiment that reveals how high wind speeds significantly reduce the efficiency of their feeding.
With no wind, the bees on average took nectar (花蜜) from 5.45 flowers during their 90-second time trial. When wind speeds were increased, this fell to an average of 3.73 flowers.
Researchers also examined the indirect impact of higher winds by moving the flowers.
The findings reveal that, while flower movement did not appear to have an effect on the bees, the movement of air from the fans made them much more hesitant to take off from a flower, with time taken ranging from an initial 0.05 seconds to 54 seconds.
Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.
“With wind speeds predicted to increase in the years ahead, understanding how we can help bees in a changing climate is becoming ever more pressing. Although we can’t do much to control or stop the wind, we can take steps to reduce its impact on bees, such as placing hives in sheltered locations,” said Hennessy.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned last year that the decline in global bee populations was a “threat to global food security and diversity”.
Dave Goulson, professor of biology at the University of Sussex, said:“Bees already face many pressures in the modern world, such as loss of habitats and exposure to pesticides (杀虫剂), and a great many are in decline. Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.”
12. What task did the researchers set for the bees?
A. Identifying the new route.
B. Surviving in extreme conditions.
C. Feeding under different wind speeds.
D. Distinguishing various kinds of flowers.
13. What probably makes a bee hesitant to take off from a flower?
A. A full stomach.
B. Loss of balance.
C. Changed flower positions.
D. Reduced body temperature.
14. What can we do to reduce the impact of high winds on bees?
A. Stop the wind.
B. Restore their habitats.
C. Address climate change.
D. Prohibit the use of pesticides.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Loss of bees causes failure of food crops
B. Bees are on the decline as global heating worsens
C. Bees may struggle in winds caused by global warming
D. Artificial flowers are used for threatened bee populations

Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150 at 17, I’m anything but stupid. The fact was that I was found to have ADHD. Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed. In high school, I became curious about the computer, and built my first website. Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse. I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics. Currently, I’m learning your Probability course. I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video. This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to.

I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn’t.(当我在探索自己的好奇心时,我的病情加重了。高中毕业后我想上大学,但是我做不到。)”可知,Tanis的多动症病情加重,难以集中注意力,导致她无法上大学。

C
Picture this: you win three tickets to a sold-out concert and excitedly text your friends to see if they would like to join you. Their reply? “Maybe.” Immediately, your excitement drops, for now you have to wait for their decisions before you can finalize your concert plans.
If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life. So, what’s going on when people aren’t sure how to refuse an invitation? What leads to this uncertain, awkward behavior?

A. Supportive. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】主要介绍人们面对邀约常回复“maybe”的心理原因,分析直接拒绝的适用情形,倡导社交中清晰坦诚的交流方式。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“If you’ve experienced something like this, you’re not alone. The “maybe” response to invitations is a common upset in social life.(如果你有过类似经历,你并不孤单。面对邀约回复“也许”是社交生活中常见的烦恼。)”可知,作者以音乐会的故事开篇,目的是引出一种普遍的社交现象。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Researchers have found that people prefer saying “maybe” to saying “no” because of something called motivated reasoning (动机性推理), which happens when invitees view information in a biased way to serve their own interests.(研究人员发现,相较于直接拒绝,人们更倾向于说“也许”。这源于一种叫作动机性推理的心理现象,即被邀约者会带着biased看待信息,以此维护自身利益。)”以及“Also, people often imagine that saying “no” will ruin the relationship, completely ignoring the possibility that honesty might be appreciated.(此外,人们常常认为拒绝会破坏人际关系,却完全忽略了坦诚相待或许会受人认可的可能性。)”可知,人们只为满足自身需求看待问题,看待信息不客观、不全面,由此判断,划线单词biased表示“片面的、偏颇的”,one-sided与之含义相符。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When invitees put themselves in the inviter’s shoes, they realize that a clear “no” is more helpful.(当受邀者换位思考,站在邀请者的角度考虑时,他们会发现明确拒绝会更合适。)”可知,体谅、顾及邀请人的感受,会让人们选择直接说不。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段中的“While saying “no” can be uncomfortable, being direct and clear is always the best policy. It may limit your choices, but it saves the inviter from uncertainty and helps protect the relationship.(虽然拒绝他人会让人不适,但坦率直白永远是上策。这或许会限制你的选择,却能让邀约者不再纠结揣测,也有助于维系彼此的关系。)”可知,作者提倡直白明确的回复,不认可敷衍模糊的“maybe”,可推断作者对此持不赞成的态度。

Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Dozens of honey bees, which usually feed on wild flowers after leaving their hives (蜂房) in the campus gardens, were tricked into the cottage to feed from an artificial flower. Only one bee was allowed in at a time, and their visits to artificial flowers were videoed and timed under different fan speeds, which mimicked (模拟) calm and windy days.(几十只蜜蜂通常在离开校园花园的蜂巢后以野花为食,它们被骗进小屋,以一朵人造花为食。一次只允许一只蜜蜂进入,并在不同的风扇速度下对它们造访人造花进行录像和计时,模拟了平静和有风的日子)”可知,研究人员为蜜蜂设置的任务是在不同的风速下进食。故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“Georgia Hennessy, lead author of the research, said that one possible reason for the wind causing hesitancy was that small increases in wind speed reduced the bees’ body temperature, so they require longer to warm up the flight muscles required to take off.(这项研究的主要作者Georgia Hennessy说,风导致蜜蜂迟疑的一个可能原因是风速的小幅增加降低了蜜蜂的体温,因此它们需要更长的时间来预热起飞所需的飞行肌群)”可知,降低的体温导致蜜蜂从一朵花到另一朵花的迟疑。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Coping with increasingly windy weather under climate change may be the final straw.(应对气候变化下日益多风的天气可能是最后一根稻草)”可知,应对风变多的天气是最后的办法,故选C。
【15题详解】

【41题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:秦腔,也称Qinqiang Opera,是中国最古老的传统戏曲之一,拥有超过2000年的历史。此处为“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 复数名词”结构,表示“最……的……之一”,old的最高级是oldest。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:同上。history为可数名词,此处表示泛指“一段历史”,且history发音以辅音音素开头,需用不定冠词a。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:它起源于秦朝,并在陕西、甘肃、宁夏等中国西北各省流行开来。*originate in,表示 “起源于(某时代、地点)”,后面接朝代、时间或地点名词。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:正如我们在《逐玉》中看到的,秦腔在推动情节发展和展现人物情感方面发挥着重要作用。空处作介词in的宾语,需用动名词promoting。

【48题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:2006年,秦腔被列入第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录。根据时间状语In 2006可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,主语Qin Opera与list之间为被动关系,需用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是单数,be动词用was。
【49题详解】
考查代词。句意:它不仅承载着中国的历史文化遗产,还成为人们了解西北地区传统文化的桥梁。空处指代前文的Qin Opera,作主语,需用代词It,注意首字母大写。
