Usually I’d call her as soon as I was settled, and it was thrilling to hear her voice and then to arrange a meeting time. But in 2024, when I turned 75 and she was 96, I put off making the call. Each time I thought about phoning her, I feared that when I said my name, she would say, “Who?” I first met Lore Segal in 1975, when I took her writing class at Columbia University. Back then, all I knew about her was that she’d recently lost her husband. I hadn’t known that when she was a little girl, her family went through a series of ups and downs and that at 10 years old, she was even transported alone all the way to England, where she drifted between different temporary homes. Small and self-confident, Lore had a pale face and curly hair. She was particular, her whole manner changing when someone expressed something pompous (言辞浮夸的) or emotional. She said firmly that no one ever again needed to describe someone drinking coffee or getting into and out of a car. She also stated that for a reader to remember a particular detail, you had to write it one and a half times, a rule both impossible to follow and true. When she leaned toward a text, I saw the obvious pleasure she took in sharing a passage and felt the pleasure welling up in me. Lore held student conferences at her apartment near school. When it was my turn, we sat beside each other and she went page by page through my novel-in-progress manuscript. No one had ever before read my work so closely or seen anything special in me. And now came this extraordinary moment: my teacher was reading my words and laughing. 24. Why did the author delay calling Lore in 2024? A. Lore refused to meet him. B. He was fully occupied with work. C. He lost interest in meeting her. D. He worried she might forget him. 25. What do we know about Lore’s childhood? A. She travelled a lot alone. B. She weathered bitter blows. C. She lived in a fixed house. D. She taught writing in England. 26. What can we infer about Lore’s attitude towards writing? A. She thought short articles work best. B. She hated all daily scene descriptions. C. She ignored students’ writing faults. D. She prized plain and meaningful writing. 27. How did the author feel during one-on-one talks? A. Inspired and valued. B. Shy and awkward. C. Calm and indifferent. D. Nervous and uneasy. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者在2024年因担心年迈的老师认不出自己而迟迟未打电话，并深情回忆了1975年结识这位老师的经历，展现了老师独特的写作教学风格以及对作者产生的深远影响。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in 2024, when I turned 75 and she was 96, I put off making the call. Each time I thought about phoning her, I feared that when I said my name, she would say, “Who?” (但在2024年，我75岁，她96岁时，我推迟了打电话。每次我想到要给她打电话，我就担心当我说出我的名字时，她会说：“谁？”)”可知，作者推迟打电话是因为他担心老师可能已经忘记了他。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I hadn’t known that when she was a little girl, her family went through a series of ups and downs and that at 10 years old, she was even transported alone all the way to England, where she drifted between different temporary homes. (我当时不知道，当她还是个小女孩的时候，她的家庭经历了一系列的起伏，10岁时，她甚至独自一人被送到英国，在不同的临时住所之间漂泊。)”可知，Lore的童年经历了家庭变故和颠沛流离，即她经历了痛苦的打击。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“She said firmly that no one ever again needed to describe someone drinking coffee or getting into and out of a car. She also stated that for a reader to remember a particular detail, you had to write it one and a half times, a rule both impossible to follow and true. (她坚定地说，再也不需要有人描述某人喝咖啡或上下车了。她还说，为了让读者记住一个特定的细节，你必须把它写上一遍半，这是一个既不可能遵循又正确的规则。)”可知，Lore反对浮夸空洞的描写，强调写作应精炼而有意义。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“No one had ever before read my work so closely or seen anything special in me. And now came this extraordinary moment: my teacher was reading my words and laughing. (从来没有人如此仔细地读过我的作品，也没有人看出我有什么特别之处。现在，这个非凡的时刻到来了：我的老师读着我的文字，笑了起来。)”可知，一对一交流时作者感受到被重视，备受鼓舞。 C A hundred years ago, scientists were sure of many truths. The greatest experts were certain that the universe had always existed and was always the size it is now. Biochemists believed that, outside the nucleus, the interior of a human cell contained little more than busy enzymes — a “biochemical bog” that carried out all the reactions that are essential to life. These sureties were all wrong. Yet scientists reacted to challenges to their accepted truths with dismissal and skepticism. I began to see how common this knee-jerk reaction was as I researched my book on how scientists reconstructed the journey of our body’s atoms from the big bang to now. So many theories that we now consider great breakthroughs were at first waved off, like annoying gnats. Why? We all know that some researchers are territorial, or fear a new theory will undercut their work. But why did entire communities of scientists reject groundbreaking ideas — even those backed by sound evidence? Puzzled, I tried to categorize the reasons why and found six cognitive biases that arose so often I gave them nicknames. For instance, the “You Look For and See the Evidence That Matches Your Existing Theory” bias impeded our understanding of diseases like scurvy (坏血病) and beriberi (脚气病), which were killing millions. Scientists tried to explain these illnesses with the ancient Greek theory of humors, then germ theory, before arriving at the concept of vitamin deficiency. How could so many brilliant scientists have been so ignorant? If you look a little deeper, you will find that none of us is immune. A Microsoft executive once said: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get market share.” When covid-19 struck, we all thought we would be back at work in just a few weeks. We will never be entirely rid of biases. Biases are part of the human condition, and scientists need to be aware their brains are full of them. As those I profiled discovered, our cells are crammed, not just with enzymes, but with a mind-boggling collection of molecular machines. DNA, not protein, is the molecule responsible for heredity. And the universe was once contained in a tiny point of space and time. All kinds of things are possible that we would never expect. That is the beauty of life. The history of scientific innovation encourages us to examine evidence with an open mind and try to see the world not as we would like it to be, but — to the extent that we can — as it truly is. Understanding this helps us to appreciate the amazing world we live in. 28. What does the example of biochemists in paragraph 1 imply? A. To stress the importance of innovation. B. To indicate the advancement of biochemistry. C. To emphasize the harm of fake science. D. To reveal the hardwired problem of scientists. 29. What does the writer stress on bias? A. It uniquely affects researchers. B. It’s unavoidable in humans. C. It fades with rich experience. D. It blocks all scientific studies. 30. What’s implied about human cognition? A. Minds have internal limitations. B. People tend to judge objectively. C. Biases totally ruin creativity. D. Old views never get replaced. 31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Embrace the complexity of our life. B. Solid evidence is a must for new findings. C. Allow scientists to make mistakes. D. Ease the prejudice in sciences research. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了历史上诸多科学家固守成见、否定新理论，源于难以根除的认知偏见并呼吁科研抛开主观偏见、立足事实客观探索。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A hundred years ago, scientists were sure of many truths. The greatest experts were certain that the universe had always existed and was always the size it is now. Biochemists believed that, outside the nucleus, the interior of a human cell contained little more than busy enzymes — a “biochemical bog” that carried out all the reactions that are essential to life. These sureties were all wrong. Yet scientists reacted to challenges to their accepted truths with dismissal and skepticism.(一百年前，科学家们对许多事情都确信无疑。最顶尖的专家坚信宇宙自古以来就一直存在，并且始终保持着如今的规模。生物化学家认为，在细胞核之外，人体细胞内部除了繁忙的酶之外几乎别无他物——一个“生化沼泽”，负责进行所有维持生命所必需的化学反应。然而，这些信念全都错了。尽管如此，科学家们面对对这些被广泛接受的真理的挑战时，却以轻视和怀疑的态度回应)”可知，第一段中生物化学家的例子暗示了揭示科学家固有的问题。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“We will never be entirely rid of biases. Biases are part of the human condition, and scientists need to be aware their brains are full of them.(我们永远无法完全摆脱偏见。偏见是人类固有的部分，科学家需要意识到自己的大脑中充满了偏见)”可知，作者强调了偏见在人类中是不可避免的。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“How could so many brilliant scientists have been so ignorant? If you look a little deeper, you will find that none of us is immune. A Microsoft executive once said: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get market share.” When covid-19 struck, we all thought we would be back at work in just a few weeks.(这么多杰出的科学家怎么会如此无知？如果你再仔细观察，就会发现我们当中没有一个人是例外。一位微软高管曾说过：“iPhone的市场份额不可能实现。”当新冠疫情爆发时，我们都以为几周内就能重返工作岗位)”可知，人类认知的隐含含义是心理存在内在局限性。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All kinds of things are possible that we would never expect. That is the beauty of life. The history of scientific innovation encourages us to examine evidence with an open mind and try to see the world not as we would like it to be, but — to the extent that we can — as it truly is. Understanding this helps us to appreciate the amazing world we live in.(各种意想不到的事情都可能发生，这正是生活的魅力所在。科学创新的历史鼓励我们以开放的心态审视证据，努力看到世界并非如我们所愿，而是尽可能真实地呈现其本来面目。理解这一点，有助于我们更好地欣赏我们所生活的奇妙世界)”结合文章主要说明了历史上诸多科学家固守成见、否定新理论，源于难以根除的认知偏见。偏见是人固有特质，文章呼吁科研抛开主观偏见、立足事实客观探索。可知，D选项“减轻科学研究中的偏见”最符合文章标题。 D You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 32. What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical product. D. An unexpected gift. 33. Why is the second-hand vehicle deal mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact. C. To illustrate a concept. D. To make a comparison. 34. What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A. Reference point loss. B. Independent analysis. C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden. 35. What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A. Ignoring its reasons. B. Weighing various choices. C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting subconscious thoughts. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍心理学中的锚定偏见概念、生活表现、形成原因，以及人们可以采取的应对方法与改进策略。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal.(你立刻认为它极其昂贵并转身离开。当天晚些时候，你发现一件一模一样的外套售价650美元，你立刻觉得自己捡到了天大的便宜。)”可知，对比一千八百美元的原价，六百五十美元的同款外套价格十分优惠，因此“an incredible steal”指代物美价廉的划算交易。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value.(如果卖家以高价开价，这个数字就会成为你的心理锚点。即便你把价格谈低了很多，相较于最初的价格，你依旧会认为最终交易很划算，忽略了汽车真实的市场价值。)”可知，作者列举二手车议价的例子，是为了具体阐释锚定偏见这一抽象概念。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis.(这种偏见之所以存在，是因为人类大脑会本能节省脑力。重新估算价值需要耗费大量认知精力，因此我们会下意识依靠最先出现的参照标准，而非开展完全独立的分析。)”可知，锚定偏见产生的根源是大脑节省脑力的本能特性。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making.(然而，一种有据可依且简单直接的对抗锚定偏见的策略是，找出该锚定值不适用于当下情形的各类理由。与此同时，多考量几种备选方案始终是助力决策的好办法。)”可知，权衡、考量多种选择是应对锚定偏见的有效方式。 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。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____36____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____37____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____38____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____39____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. ____40____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 【答案】36. D 37. B 38. F 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨了短视频学习对学生的利弊，分析了短视频学习流行的原因、潜在弊端，并指出短视频应作为传统学习的补充而非替代。 【36题详解】 由上文“Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. (如今，许多学生承认他们的第一本能是打开短视频应用。)”以及下文“And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? (关键在于：虽然短视频让信息变得容易获取，但学生们是真的在学习还是只是在滚屏？)”可知，本空要说学生们对短视频学习的认知，D选项“To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. (对他们来说，这些视频不仅娱乐，而且感觉像是在学习。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“To them”指代上文的“many students”，且该选项中的“feel like learning”与下文的“are students actually learning”形成呼应和质疑，表示学生们自以为在学习，但实际情况可能并非如此。 【37题详解】 由上文“Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. (短视频还将空闲时间，比如等公交车，转化为学习机会。)”以及下文“However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. (然而，每一个优点都有一个学生常常感受到却不一定意识到的隐藏的弊端。)”可知，本空要说短视频融入日常生活的便利性，B选项“This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. (这使视频学习轻松融入日常生活。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This”指代上文的“turn idle time...into learning opportunities”，且该选项中的“fit easily into daily life”总结了短视频学习的便利性，与下文的“However”形成转折，引出弊端。 【38题详解】 由上文“Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. (持续接触快速内容训练大脑期待刺激，使复杂的阅读或完整的讲座更难坐下来听完。)”以及下文“Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. (学生们最终可能会不知所措，回忆起许多话题的片段但没有一个精通。)”可知，本空要说信息过载的问题，F选项“Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. (此外，短视频虽短，但数量过多会导致信息过载。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“Besides”表示递进，承接上文的弊端，且该选项中的“information overload”与下文的“overwhelmed”和“recalling bits of many topics but mastering none”相呼应，表示信息过载导致学习效果差。 【39题详解】 由上文“That means students who go in looking for a ‘quick explainer’ often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. (这意味着那些本想找‘快速讲解’的学生往往最终花一小时深陷无关内容。)”以及下文“Students describe feeling ‘busy’ while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. (学生们描述在浏览学习内容时感觉‘很忙’，但后来意识到他们并没有记住多少。)”可知，本空要说娱乐与教育的界限模糊带来的时间管理问题，G选项“This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. (娱乐与教育之间这条模糊的界限使时间管理变得更加困难。)”能承上启下，符合题意，该选项中的“This unclear line between entertainment and education”指代上文的“looking for a ‘quick explainer’ often end up an hour deep into unrelated content”，且该选项中的“harder to manage time”与下文的“feeling ‘busy’ while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much”相呼应，表示时间管理失控导致学习效率低下。 【40题详解】 由下文“The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. (现实是，两者兼而有之。短视频内容是一种工具，而非替代品。)”可知，本空要说提出短视频是帮助还是伤害的问题，A选项“So, is short-form video helping or hurting? (那么，短视频是在帮助还是在伤害？)”能引出下文，符合题意，该选项以设问的方式总结全文争论，且该选项中的“helping or hurting”与下文的“it’s both”形成直接回应，表示答案不是非黑即白，而是取决于使用方式。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In the quiet town of Greenfield, David Lee had built a life around his art.

It was peaceful, her mother often said. It was safe, her father would add, patting her shoulder with his calloused hand. But Aliya thought: Is this all there is? She was certain that her future — her real life — lay somewhere else on a global stage. At twenty-two, Aliya won a scholarship to a university in New York. Her parents, proud and heartbroken, saw her off at the airport. “Come back,” they said. She smiled and waved, already gone in her mind. New York was everything she had imagined. She walked along the Hudson at sunset, visited museums she had only seen in books, and sat in lecture halls where professors discussed ideas in a way she had never encountered. She told herself this was living. She threw herself into her studies, networked at every event, and applied for every internship. She learned to laugh at jokes she didn’t understand, to dress the part, and to mold herself into someone who belonged. Sometimes she called home, hasty and casual. She was relentless in this city, always reaching for the next hold. At twenty-five, she landed a job at a prestigious firm. At twenty-seven, she had an apartment with a view of Manhattan’s skyline, a circle of cosmopolitan friends, and a calendar filled with gallery openings and rooftop parties. “You’re living the dream,” her friends back in Nuwara Eliya would say during video calls, their voices tinged with envy. Right after her thirtieth birthday, she was laid off. Emails for a new job went unanswered. The apartment became cold and hollow. She suddenly realized that all her relationships were brief and transactional connections that soon faded. She had trained herself to be a New Yorker, and now, when she needed a place to truly belong, she found herself in a city caring little about her existence. She woke up each morning feeling at a loss, her future dimming. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aliya took a job in the town library. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. “Are you OK, my sweetheart?” Her mother’s voice came through, warm and concerned. As she fumbled for a decent excuse, she could clearly hear her father scurrying toward the phone, obviously surprised at the rare call. Before she could pour out her grievances, her parents continued softly, “Whatever happens, dear, we are here.” Aliya gripped the phone, tears rolling down like unleashed floodwaters. The conversation ended sooner than she had wished, yet Aliya felt something loosen in her chest. She quickly erased her trail in New York and flew back as determinedly as she had once left. Aliya took a job in the town library. It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe. Children came after school and embraced her before leaving. She walked home each evening, greeted by the peddlers and sometimes even friends along the way. In the warmth of her family home, she sat with her parents, hearing stories she had been too impatient to listen to before. Aliya finally felt a sense of contentment. She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Aliya从小生活在斯里兰卡宁静的小镇，一心向往外面广阔的世界。二十二岁时她拿到奖学金远赴纽约求学，努力融入当地，收获光鲜的工作与生活。三十岁失业之后，过往的繁华全部消散，她陷入迷茫失落，重新思考归属感的真正含义。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Aliya拨通家里电话，父母温暖的话语抚慰了她受伤的内心，她下定决心告别纽约，回到故乡。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Aliya回到家乡之后的日常工作与生活，在熟悉的山水与家人陪伴下，她找到了内心真正的满足，领悟归属感一直就在故乡。 2. 续写线索： 拨通家里电话 ——父母温情安慰 —— 下定决心返乡 —— 图书馆工作 —— 感受家乡烟火 —— 获得内心满足 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 抓住：grip/seize ② 结束：end/conclude 情绪类 ① 惊讶的：surprised/astonished ② 满足：contentment/satisfaction 【点睛】【高分句型1】It was a plain building against the gentle hills, its windows facing the slow-moving river, peaceful and safe.(运用了独立主格结构作状语) 【高分句型2】She had spent the best of her twenties chasing the glamour of a distant shore, only to find she had possessed it here from the very beginning.(运用了动词不定式短语作结果状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Excuse me, could you tell me where the bank is. please?

B My teacher was one of the people I most wanted to see whenever I visited New York City. Usually I’d call her as soon as I was settled, and it was thrilling to hear her voice and then to arrange a meeting time. But in 2024, when I turned 75 and she was 96, I put off making the call. Each time I thought about phoning her, I feared that when I said my name, she would say, “Who?” I first met Lore Segal in 1975, when I took her writing class at Columbia University. Back then, all I knew about her was that she’d recently lost her husband. I hadn’t known that when she was a little girl, her family went through a series of ups and downs and that at 10 years old, she was even transported alone all the way to England, where she drifted between different temporary homes. Small and self-confident, Lore had a pale face and curly hair. She was particular, her whole manner changing when someone expressed something pompous (言辞浮夸的) or emotional. She said firmly that no one ever again needed to describe someone drinking coffee or getting into and out of a car. She also stated that for a reader to remember a particular detail, you had to write it one and a half times, a rule both impossible to follow and true. When she leaned toward a text, I saw the obvious pleasure she took in sharing a passage and felt the pleasure welling up in me. Lore held student conferences at her apartment near school. When it was my turn, we sat beside each other and she went page by page through my novel-in-progress manuscript. No one had ever before read my work so closely or seen anything special in me. And now came this extraordinary moment: my teacher was reading my words and laughing. 24. Why did the author delay calling Lore in 2024? A. Lore refused to meet him. B. He was fully occupied with work. C. He lost interest in meeting her. D. He worried she might forget him. 25. What do we know about Lore’s childhood? A. She travelled a lot alone. B. She weathered bitter blows. C. She lived in a fixed house. D. She taught writing in England. 26. What can we infer about Lore’s attitude towards writing? A. She thought short articles work best. B. She hated all daily scene descriptions. C. She ignored students’ writing faults. D. She prized plain and meaningful writing. 27. How did the author feel during one-on-one talks? A. Inspired and valued. B. Shy and awkward. C. Calm and indifferent. D. Nervous and uneasy. C A hundred years ago, scientists were sure of many truths. The greatest experts were certain that the universe had always existed and was always the size it is now. Biochemists believed that, outside the nucleus, the interior of a human cell contained little more than busy enzymes — a “biochemical bog” that carried out all the reactions that are essential to life. These sureties were all wrong. Yet scientists reacted to challenges to their accepted truths with dismissal and skepticism. I began to see how common this knee-jerk reaction was as I researched my book on how scientists reconstructed the journey of our body’s atoms from the big bang to now. So many theories that we now consider great breakthroughs were at first waved off, like annoying gnats. Why? We all know that some researchers are territorial, or fear a new theory will undercut their work. But why did entire communities of scientists reject groundbreaking ideas — even those backed by sound evidence? Puzzled, I tried to categorize the reasons why and found six cognitive biases that arose so often I gave them nicknames. For instance, the “You Look For and See the Evidence That Matches Your Existing Theory” bias impeded our understanding of diseases like scurvy (坏血病) and beriberi (脚气病), which were killing millions. Scientists tried to explain these illnesses with the ancient Greek theory of humors, then germ theory, before arriving at the concept of vitamin deficiency. How could so many brilliant scientists have been so ignorant? If you look a little deeper, you will find that none of us is immune. A Microsoft executive once said: “There’s no chance that the iPhone is going to get market share.” When covid-19 struck, we all thought we would be back at work in just a few weeks. We will never be entirely rid of biases. Biases are part of the human condition, and scientists need to be aware their brains are full of them. As those I profiled discovered, our cells are crammed, not just with enzymes, but with a mind-boggling collection of molecular machines. DNA, not protein, is the molecule responsible for heredity. And the universe was once contained in a tiny point of space and time. All kinds of things are possible that we would never expect. That is the beauty of life. The history of scientific innovation encourages us to examine evidence with an open mind and try to see the world not as we would like it to be, but — to the extent that we can — as it truly is. Understanding this helps us to appreciate the amazing world we live in. 28. What does the example of biochemists in paragraph 1 imply? A. To stress the importance of innovation. B. To indicate the advancement of biochemistry. C. To emphasize the harm of fake science. D. To reveal the hardwired problem of scientists. 29. What does the writer stress on bias? A. It uniquely affects researchers. B. It’s unavoidable in humans. C. It fades with rich experience. D. It blocks all scientific studies. 30. What’s implied about human cognition? A. Minds have internal limitations. B. People tend to judge objectively. C. Biases totally ruin creativity. D. Old views never get replaced. 31. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. Embrace the complexity of our life. B. Solid evidence is a must for new findings. C. Allow scientists to make mistakes. D. Ease the prejudice in sciences research. D You walk into a clothing store and spot a leather coat marked $1,800. You immediately label it extremely pricey and move on. Later that day, you find an identical coat on sale for $650, and you instantly think you have found an incredible steal. What you may not realize is that your judgment has been misled by the anchoring bias (锚定偏见). The anchoring bias was first identified by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky in their research on intuitive (直觉的) reasoning. It describes the human tendency to rely heavily on the first piece of information we encounter — called an anchor — and evaluate every subsequent detail against that fixed reference point. Consider bargaining for a second-hand vehicle. If a seller opens with a high asking price, that number becomes your mental anchor. Even if you negotiate the price far lower, you will still view the final deal as a win compared to the original figure, ignoring the car’s true market value. The opposite holds true: A surprisingly low initial offer causes the seller to undervalue their own property. This trap does not only appear in shopping; it influences salary negotiations, exam score judgments, and even predictions about global statistics. The bias exists because human brains naturally conserve mental energy. Recalculating value requires heavy cognitive (认知的) effort, so we automatically lean on the first available reference point rather than conducting fully independent analysis. When we are setting plans or making estimates about something, we interpret newer information from the reference point of our anchor instead of seeing it objectively. This can affect our judgment and prevent us from updating our plans or predictions as much as we should. Avoiding the anchoring bias entirely isn’t possible, given its widespread impact and how powerful it is. Like all cognitive biases, the anchoring bias is subconscious, meaning it’s difficult to interrupt. Yet one evidence-based and straightforward strategy to fight against the anchoring bias is to come up with reasons why that anchor is inappropriate for the situation. Meanwhile, considering multiple options is always a good idea to aid in decision-making. 32. What do the underlined words “an incredible steal” in paragraph 1 mean? A. A real bargain. B. A free item. C. An identical product. D. An unexpected gift. 33. Why is the second-hand vehicle deal mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To explain a rule. B. To present a fact. C. To illustrate a concept. D. To make a comparison. 34. What is the cause of the anchoring bias? A. Reference point loss. B. Independent analysis. C. Brain’s energy-saving nature. D. Brain’s heavy burden. 35. What is a good way to deal with the anchoring bias? A. Ignoring its reasons. B. Weighing various choices. C. Seeking its impacts. D. Interrupting subconscious thoughts. 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。 It used to be simple: if you were stuck on homework, you went to a tutor or looked through a textbook. Today, many students admit their first instinct (本能) is to open short-video apps. ____36____ And here’s the catch: while short-form video makes information accessible, are students actually learning or just scrolling (滚屏)? Students aren’t choosing short videos to study by accident; it fits the way their brains are wired in today’s world. Studies suggest the average attention span has dropped to around 8-12 seconds. Quick videos match that rhythm. Instead of sitting through a 40-minute lecture, students can learn one concept or definition in a minute. Short videos also turn idle time, like waiting for the bus, into learning opportunities. ____37____ However, for every upside, there’s a hidden drawback that students often feel but don’t always recognize. Short videos sometimes oversimplify — students may remember a “fun fact” but struggle to apply it in problem-solving. Constant exposure to fast content trains the brain to expect stimulation, making complex reading or full lectures harder to sit through. ____38____ Students can end up overwhelmed, recalling bits of many topics but mastering none. Here’s where it gets tricky. Short-video platforms aren’t built for studying; they’re built for endless scrolling. That means students who go in looking for a “quick explainer” often end up an hour deep into unrelated content. ____39____ Students describe feeling “busy” while scrolling through study content, but later realize they didn’t remember much. ____40____ The reality is, it’s both. Short-form content is a tool, not a replacement. Students who use it as a supplement to traditional learning gain the best of both worlds: quick tips and deeper practice. Those who depend only on it often face burnout, divided attention, or surface-level understanding. A. So, is short-form video helping or hurting? B. This makes video-learning fit easily into daily life. C. Many creators make money by posting educational clips. D. To them, such videos don’t just entertain but feel like learning. E. Short videos make students unable to finish homework within fixed time. F. Besides, too many short videos, brief as they are, can cause information overload. G. This unclear line between entertainment and education makes it harder to manage time. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 In the quiet town of Greenfield, David Lee had built a life around his art.

It was peaceful, her mother often said. It was safe, her father would add, patting her shoulder with his calloused hand. But Aliya thought: Is this all there is? She was certain that her future — her real life — lay somewhere else on a global stage. At twenty-two, Aliya won a scholarship to a university in New York. Her parents, proud and heartbroken, saw her off at the airport. “Come back,” they said. She smiled and waved, already gone in her mind. New York was everything she had imagined. She walked along the Hudson at sunset, visited museums she had only seen in books, and sat in lecture halls where professors discussed ideas in a way she had never encountered. She told herself this was living. She threw herself into her studies, networked at every event, and applied for every internship. She learned to laugh at jokes she didn’t understand, to dress the part, and to mold herself into someone who belonged. Sometimes she called home, hasty and casual. She was relentless in this city, always reaching for the next hold. At twenty-five, she landed a job at a prestigious firm. At twenty-seven, she had an apartment with a view of Manhattan’s skyline, a circle of cosmopolitan friends, and a calendar filled with gallery openings and rooftop parties. “You’re living the dream,” her friends back in Nuwara Eliya would say during video calls, their voices tinged with envy. Right after her thirtieth birthday, she was laid off. Emails for a new job went unanswered. The apartment became cold and hollow. She suddenly realized that all her relationships were brief and transactional connections that soon faded. She had trained herself to be a New Yorker, and now, when she needed a place to truly belong, she found herself in a city caring little about her existence. She woke up each morning feeling at a loss, her future dimming. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After another upsetting wake-up, Aliya dialed the number back home. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Aliya took a job in the town library. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
