【一、2027届浙江省名校新高考研究联盟高三第一次学情诊断英语试题 】
Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
28.How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A.By presenting a scientific theory. B.By citing pop culture images.
C.By questioning certain stereotypes. D.By describing a rescue experience.
29.What can we learn about the experiment?
A.The caregiver turned to the subject for help. B.The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C.The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction. D.The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
30.What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fetching. B.Locating. C.Overlooking. D.Identifying.
31.What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A.They are less attached to humans. B.They are evolutionarily superior.
C.They help only when it pays to do so. D.They are more efficient at problem-solving.

Most of us have an “inner voice,” and we assume everybody does. Recent evidence suggests people vary widely in the extent to which they experience inner speech. The study by cognitive (认知的) scientists Gary Lupyan and Johanne Nedergaard shows these differences are real and impact our cognition.
As part of their ongoing research, Lupyan previously assessed 1,037 people using a measure called the Internal Representations Questionnaire (IRQ). For the verbal (口头的) part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five rating.
For their new study, Lupyan and Nedergaard selected 47 participants who scored high for having an inner voice and 46 who scored low. They then gave participants four language-related tasks they thought might be influenced by the use of inner speech.
In the first, participants were shown five words and asked to repeat them back. The second involved saying whether the names of objects in two pictures rhymed. In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster.
“This study really tests what inner speech gives us in terms of cognitive benefits,” says psychologist Charles Fernyhough. The other two experiments tested task switching and participants’ ability to spot differences between two silhouettes (轮廓图形) that were from either the same or a different category. The groups showed no differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests Lupyan.
The research may have medical implications. “Someone with more inner speech might be more reliant on language in their thinking,” Lupyan says, “so language difficulty from a stroke (中风) could have a more severe effect.”
Understanding how inner speech develops has implications for education, says neuroscientist Ladislas Nalborczyk. “Variations in children’s ability to represent speech sounds may impact their ability to learn the relation between sounds and writing,” he says. This may affect the way they learn to read and write, which probably has a huge impact on education.
The researchers propose giving a lack of inner speech a name: “anendophasia.” “It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.”
28. What was the purpose of using IRQ?
A. To change people’s experience of inner speech.
B. To find out how many people have an inner voice.
C. To measure people’s agreement with certain statements.
D. To make people think about problems in a conversation form.
29. How does inner speech help with tasks?
A. It offers more inspiration. B. It aids in better performance.
C. It makes people more patient. D. It changes the way of thinking.
30. What does Lupyan suggest about task switching?
A. Inner speech is the primary strategy for it.
B. It is mainly affected by external environment.
C. It can be achieved through various methods.
D. Inner speech has little influence on its complexity.
31. Why do the researchers try to name the lack of inner speech?
A. To make it easier to remember. B. To create a new concept for study.
C. To tell it apart from other speech forms. D. To assist scientists in arranging research on it.

A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. Psychology Today defines this phenomenon as a parasocial relationship (准社会关系) — a one-sided connection that exists only in the fan’s mind. First identified in 1956 to describe television viewers feeling closely connected to on-screen figures, this behavior has existed for ages.
Today, social platforms deepen this illusion by offering constant, seemingly real updates on the lives of public figures. However, what audiences actually see is a carefully selected version of reality, edited for perfection rather than truth. Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals.
These relationships are not always harmful. For some, especially those who feel left out in society, seeing public figures with similar backgrounds can offer a sense of belonging. These connections can inspire confidence and make people feel less alone. In that sense, they can serve a real and meaningful purpose, offering comfort.
The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, these feelings now extend to artificial intelligence (AI). Chatbots acting like real friends can produce deep emotional responses, making it harder to tell real human connection from AI.
Admiration itself is fine. Music, sports and entertainment have long connected communities, but that influence needs clear boundaries. Without them, simply watching a video is easily mistaken for close friendship, and carefully chosen content is mistaken for true connection. Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not.
28. Why did the author mention the musician and the athlete in the first paragraph?
A. To reveal the market value of stars’ posts. B. To criticize celebrities’ too-much-sharing.
C. To show an imagined familiarity with stars. D. To illustrate progressive fan-star connection.
29. How do digital bonds built on celebrity posts affect the youth?
A. They shape youths’ personal values. B. They make the youth perfectionists.
C. They ease beauty standards for youths. D. They develop the youth’s social skills.
30. Which of the following is an example of the “danger” in paragraph 4?
A. Flooding friends’ chats with celebrity updates. B. Using AI chatbots to solve academic challenges.
C. Taking idols’ livestream as private video calls. D. Tracking a star’s posts to monitor their traces.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Music and Sports: The Uniting Strength B. Posts and Responses: The Healing Circle
C. Blessing or Disaster: The Booming Internet D. Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness
【四、2027届浙江省强基联盟高三上学期8月返校考英语试题】
An interesting cultural phenomenon occurs every summer when Europeans and Americans visit each other’s continents. Europeans complain that shops and restaurants in America are so coldly air-conditioned as to require a jacket. Americans holidaying in Europe grow impatient on finding that European old-world buildings cause them to sweat.
The divide is rooted in both climate and culture. Long before American companies began using cooling chemicals for air-conditioning, southern Europe was built to handle heat. In traditional houses, white paint and shaded courtyards keep things cool. Windows are thrown open and rooms aired in the mornings. Shutters keep out the midday sun. Northern Europe, meanwhile, is mostly spared the problem by its cold weather thanks to geographical advantages.
These days, as global warming is putting Europe to test, some Europeans who celebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs of carbon guilt about equipping their houses with air-conditioning. Actually, they needn’t. The rapid expansion of renewable energy in Europe means that lowering the temperature will not do much to melt the glaciers. In Spain, solar capacity has grown nearly ten times in the past decade, so it causes fewer carbon emissions to generate power. Portugal and France do just as well, thanks to dozens of nuclear reactors.
Apart from climate morality, many Europeans also worry about the costs, but there is good news on that front as well. Their homes are smaller than American ones, which helps them save two thirds as much electricity on average. Moreover, the solar energy boom means that power is not just greener but cheaper than before. And some governments even offer funding to make old houses energy-efficient.
As the world warms, Europe is heating up faster than any other region. Those who prefer to tough out the summer are free to do so. However, as Dr. Elena Rossi, a climate researcher, points out, “Cooling should no longer be a luxury but a basic necessity. Therefore, the ultimate goal should be to make cheap, clean air-conditioning for everyone.”
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By criticizing energy waste. B. By describing a tourist trend.
C. By presenting a cultural conflict. D. By analyzing different personalities.
29. What contributes to the cooling of houses in Southern Europe?
A. Adjusted lighting system. B. Modern cooling technology.
C. Unique geographical advantages. D. Traditional architectural wisdom.
30. Which of the following is an example of “climate morality”?
A. Using renewable energy to lower electricity bills. B. Refusing air-conditioning to cut carbon emissions.
C. Upgrading old houses to gain government funding. D. Expanding power capacity to promote cozy lifestyles.
31. What do Dr. Elena Rossi’s words mean?
A. Traditional cooling methods are outdated. B. Affordable air-conditioning should be accessible.
C. The public should avoid using air-conditioners. D. People can choose to live with the summer heat.

An ancient Chinese exercise practice that combines slow movements, controlled breathing, and meditation may help lower blood pressure effectively, according to a large randomized clinical trial published in the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The studied practice, called baduanjin, is a traditional Chinese exercise made up of eight structured movements that combine aerobic (有氧的) activity, flexibility training, and mindfulness. A typical session lasts about 10-15 minutes and does not require equipment or extensive training, and is considered low-to-moderate intensity, making one able to maintain it over time.
The study followed 216 adults, who were at least 40 years old and had blood pressure readings between 130-139 mm Hg, a range classified as stage 1 hypertension (高血压) under ACC/AHA guidelines. They were divided into three groups for the yearlong intervention: baduanjin practice, self-directed exercise, or fast walking.
Compared with self-directed exercise alone, people practicing baduanjin five days a week lowered their 24-hour blood pressure by about 3 mm Hg and reduced office blood pressure by 5 mm Hg after both three months and one year. Researchers noted that these reductions are similar to results seen with some first-line blood pressure medications. The study also found that baduanjin produced results and safety outcomes comparable to fast walking after one year.
One of the most notable findings was that participants maintained the benefits even without continued monitoring or supervision. Failing to maintain long-term participation is often one of the main impediments for lifestyle-based health interventions.
“Baduanjin has been practiced in China for over 800 years, and this study demonstrates how it can be validated through high-quality randomized research,” said Harlan M. Krumholz, Jr. Professor at the Yale School of Medicine. “The blood pressure effect size is similar to that seen in landmark drug trials, but achieved without medication, cost or side effects. This makes it highly scalable for community-based prevention, including in resource-limited settings.”
28. What do we know about baduanjin?
A. It is easily accessible. B. It has a complex routine.
C. It involves high intensity. D. It needs specific training.
29. What did the clinical trial reveal about baduanjin?
A. It beats fast walking in a short time. B. It shows little effect within one year.
C. It requires constant medical supervision. D. It works like some blood pressure drugs.
30. What does the underlined word “impediments” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Priorities. B. Features. C. Obstacles. D. Mistakes.
31. What do Harlan M. Krumholz’s words mean?
A. Practicing baduanjin is resource-limited. B. Baduanjin deserves wide popularization.
C. Baduanjin’s value needs more drug trials. D. Baduanjin takes effect faster than drugs.

A massive concrete-and-glass structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard. It is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in western America. Its daring architecture is not the only unusual thing about it.
“We’ve given up traditional categories of geography,” says Michael Govan, LACMA’s director. “The idea is to wander.” The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another. The museum is loosely organized around oceans to emphasize trade and cultural exchange. The Indian Ocean section, for example, includes Turkish ceramics (瓷器) with blue-and-white flower patterns, influenced by earlier Chinese designs.
LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” will probably always be on view but the neighbouring wall will sometimes hold photography. Such an adaptable approach allows for unexpected encounters. Yet not everyone may appreciate it.
What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder. But if such experiments fail to impress, curators (策展人) can rearrange the art again.
Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times. At the new LACMA, says Govan, “We don’t go into a dark box and somebody tells us what to think.” Rather, it tries to be in conversation with Los Angeles (LA). Architecturally, the museum’s uneven shape and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the palm trees (棕榈树) and hills, putting LA itself on display.
28. What is special about the new LACMA?
A. Displaying artworks flexibly. B. Stressing ocean movement.
C. Treating artworks differently. D. Featuring Chinese designs.
29. Why does the writer mention Tate Modern and MoMA?
A. To compare them with LACMA. B. To highlight an exhibition trend.
C. To promote long-term displays. D. To explain economic globalization.
30. What is a potential problem with the new exhibition style?
A. It limits the variety of artworks. B. It depends on QR code technology.
C. It brings little profit to art galleries. D. It causes confusion for some visitors.
31. What can be inferred about the new museum from the last paragraph?
A. It values architecture over artworks. B. It may raise argument over art styles.
C. It can mirror environments and times. D. It guides how visitors view the art world.
【七、浙江杭州第二中学2027届高三年级9月开学适应性检测英语试题】
Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 percent fewer terrestrial insects now than in 1990. This includes those we rely on to pollinate our crops. If we don't solve this problem very soon, some species will disappear.
There are many causes for the insect decline, but insecticides are a major part of the problem. Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more toxic than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used whether pests are present or not.
Overall, the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing, but this is a grossly misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. But because modern insecticides are so much more toxic, the global toxicity of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period.
To the public, one often-touted approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods. These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. They offer effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation and the use of natural predators. But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today.
Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the minimal dose we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a fraction of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. They would spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. Reducing insecticide doses won’t solve the insect decline problem, but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and cultivate farmlands in a greener way. And that will allow insects to recover.
28. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE?
A. The toxicity in insecticides used before persists longer.
B. Toxic-free insecticides are now used to keep pests away.
C. The amount of toxicity used per acre is less than before.
D. Currently-used pesticides are much more toxic than before.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word often-touted in paragraph 4?
A. Broadly-publicized. B. Generally-proved.
C. Recently-created. D. Frequently-criticized.
30. What is the best way to treat the insect decline?
A. To research and develop new pesticides. B. To protect crops rather than killing out insects.
C. To raise large-scale natural predators of insects. D. To shift to the IPM pesticide-controlling method.
31. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To propose a practical shift of agricultural practice.
B. To present conflicting evidence about insect decline.
C. To criticize farmers for their over-reliance on spraying.
D. To alert readers to the hidden danger of modern pesticides.

It used to be easy to tell when a face was generated with AI. Whether it was an unnatural expression, impossibly smooth skin, or a noticeable third ear, early AI-generated fake human faces were simple to spot and easy to dismiss. That’s just not true anymore.
Now, AI image generators can produce portraits so convincing that even careful observers struggle to distinguish fact from fiction. That’s why apps such as Zoom and Tinder allow their users to submit biometric identification to help prove a real person exists behind a profile picture. But a new study suggests you can train your brain to get better at spotting fakes.
Past attempts to teach people to spot AI faces have focused on visual errors like strange ears. But those clues can disappear with a software update or by a different prompt (提示词). “The AI is getting too good,” said Amy Dawel, the lead author of the study. “And fraudsters (骗子) may avoid using pictures with obvious mistakes anyway. The result is an endless technological arms race humans are likely to lose.”
Instead, the researchers taught the participants how to recognize broader patterns in how AI systems generate images. “Our training directs people’s attention to global qualities differing between AI and human faces,” Dawel said. Current AI image generators are trained on datasets composed of millions of images. When prompted to generate a face, they don’t copy, but compose one based on the mathematical patterns shared across the faces. Individually, none of these characteristics are strange. But together, the whole is plainer than the sum of its parts which can often be sensed.
Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical (对称的), more balanced, and more attractive — while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. The participants were trained to look for these six markers instead of obvious errors. “Even with short training sessions, the chance of spotting AI faces almost doubled,” says Tanya George, a trainer from Australian National University. “People need training to navigate increasingly complex online environments.”
28. Why do some apps require biometric identification?
A. To replace AI image generators. B. To confirm online users’ identity.
C. To limit the use of AI portrait tools. D. To improve the quality of online photos.
29. What does Amy Dawel think of the earlier ways to spot AI faces?
A. They rely much on varied prompts. B. They help fraudsters avoid detection.
C. They have fallen behind AI progress. D. They beat humans in tech competitions.
30. What were the participants told to focus on?
A. Overall facial features. B. Massive image datasets.
C. Tiny facial characteristics. D. Shared mathematical patterns.
31. What does Tanya George think of the training in the research?
A. Effective. B. Complicated. C. Temporary. D. Thorough.

Dreams seem to occur at random, from everyday situations to unpredictable experiences. Now, a new study shows that our personal features as well as real-life events actually shape what we dream about, creating patterns in our subconsciousness (潜意识).
The study, published in Communications Psychology, analyzed thousands of dream and waking experience reports collected over four years. The researchers used natural language processing tools to quantify the structure of dreams. They found that personal features like how often someone daydreams, their attitudes about dreams, and their sleep quality all influence dream content.
Researchers noticed that dreams don’t simply replay scenes from our daily lives. Instead, dreams seem to mix familiar places like workplaces, hospitals, and schools into new scenes that blend memories with imagination. The reported dreams tended to focus more on visual details, feature more characters, and make less logical sense. They were also less self-focused and less driven by conscious thinking.
These dream transformations weren’t the same for everyone. Participants who spent more time daydreaming during the day tended to have dreams that jumped rapidly from one scene to another. Those who placed more importance on dreams described them as more vivid and immersive. Sleep quality also played a role.
The team used three large language models, LLaMA 3, ChatGPT-4, and ChatGPT-4 Turbo, to rate dream reports on 16 different features, such as mood, strangeness and freedom of movement. “By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to uncover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. “This opens new possibilities for studying consciousness, memory, and mental health in a better way.”
28. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. Data analysis. B. Sleep observation. C. Personal surveys. D. Life event tracking.
29. Which of the following best describes the nature of the dream?
A. Creative. B. Conscious. C. Realistic. D. Repetitive.
30. What is the main advantage of the language models?
A. Increasing the number of dream features. B. Enhancing the accuracy of human brains.
C. Simplifying more personal dream reports. D. Identifying the structures of various dreams.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. To Control Dreams, Control Your Day. B. Better Sleep Creates Better Dreaming.
C. AI Now Fully Understands Our dreams. D. Dreams Are the Mind’s Hidden Patterns.

Before full sentences, human language may have relied on just two words at a time. According to new research published in PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like "catch fish" or "throw spear." There were no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects, just a concise way to express action. That simple structure was enough for early humans, for whom speed and clarity mattered more than precision.
Traces of this early system still exist today. Linguists call them "living fossils"——words like "killjoy," "pickpocket," and "crybaby" combine a verb and a noun into a single compound word. What sets them apart is how loosely they follow modern grammar. In "pickpocket," it is unclear who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language, before grammar became fully structured. Similar constructions appear across languages, showing they are not mere accidents but echoes of an early way of building meaning.
These early combinations extended far beyond mere action descriptions; they expanded what language could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas. A phrase like "time flies" stretches literal meaning into metaphor, opening the door to more complex thought. That same mechanism (机制) explains humor —unexpected word combinations create surprise, which is often the origin of humor.
This early language also played a role in social competition. The ability to create clever, memorable combinations helped individuals gain social advantage. Quick, expressive language could establish status or challenge opponents. As one researcher put it, this reflected a kind of "survival of the sharpest."
Over time, these simple two-word structures became the foundation for more complex grammar. Even as language grew more complex, those early building blocks never disappeared. They remain hidden in modern speech—small but powerful traces of how human language began.
28. What characterized the earliest form of language?
A. Complex grammar. B. Verb-noun pairings.
C. Full sentences. D. Tense markers.
29. What does the underlined word "ambiguity" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Simplicity of rules. B. Depth of meaning.
C. Complexity of form. D. Lack of clarity.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Functions of humor. B. Origin of abstract thought.
C. Features of metaphors. D. Power of word combinations.
31. What is the main function of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the structures' historical role. B. To introduce new evidence for the research.
C. To explain grammar's rapid development. D. To question the findings of previous studies.

Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.
The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories.
In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject.
The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location.
So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did.
“This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.”
28.How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1?
A.By presenting a scientific theory. B.By citing pop culture images.
C.By questioning certain stereotypes. D.By describing a rescue experience.
29.What can we learn about the experiment?
A.The caregiver turned to the subject for help. B.The first three trials were randomly conducted.
C.The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction. D.The subjects have identical evolutionary histories.
30.What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Fetching. B.Locating. C.Overlooking. D.Identifying.
31.What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”?
A.They are less attached to humans. B.They are evolutionarily superior.
C.They help only when it pays to do so. D.They are more efficient at problem-solving.

推理判断题。根据第一段“Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.(流行文化认为,如果你被困在井里,莱西会带队救援,但如果你和加菲猫困在一起,你最好口袋里装些千层面。近期一项研究表明,这类刻板印象并非毫无根据)”可知,作者通过引用流行文化中的形象引出研究主题。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy.(是猫咪不理解暗示,还是仅仅缺乏动力?为了弄清这一点,研究人员增设了最后一轮实验,用食物或心仪玩具替换了海绵)”可知,最后一轮实验是为了探究猫咪无作为的原因。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver.(但儿童和狗狗更有可能表现出与助人相关的行为——靠近、指明或retrieving物品。到第三轮实验时,超过一半的狗和将近一半的孩子指明了物品的位置,有一些甚至把它拿给了看护者)”可知,retrieving在此处表示“取回、拿回”,与fetching含义一致。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中“Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves.(然而猫咪保持独立,能认清状况,但不会被迫介入,除非能给自己带来直接好处)”可知,猫咪只在有利可图时才会提供帮助,这也是其被称作高效专精者的原因。

Most of us have an “inner voice,” and we assume everybody does. Recent evidence suggests people vary widely in the extent to which they experience inner speech. The study by cognitive (认知的) scientists Gary Lupyan and Johanne Nedergaard shows these differences are real and impact our cognition.
As part of their ongoing research, Lupyan previously assessed 1,037 people using a measure called the Internal Representations Questionnaire (IRQ). For the verbal (口头的) part of the IRQ, participants indicated agreement with statements like: “I think about problems in my mind in the form of a conversation with myself” on a one-to-five rating.
For their new study, Lupyan and Nedergaard selected 47 participants who scored high for having an inner voice and 46 who scored low. They then gave participants four language-related tasks they thought might be influenced by the use of inner speech.
In the first, participants were shown five words and asked to repeat them back. The second involved saying whether the names of objects in two pictures rhymed. In both tasks, the group with less inner speech was less accurate. For the rhyme judgments, people with more inner speech were also faster.
“This study really tests what inner speech gives us in terms of cognitive benefits,” says psychologist Charles Fernyhough. The other two experiments tested task switching and participants’ ability to spot differences between two silhouettes (轮廓图形) that were from either the same or a different category. The groups showed no differences on these tasks. “People can probably employ numerous other strategies for task switching,” suggests Lupyan.
The research may have medical implications. “Someone with more inner speech might be more reliant on language in their thinking,” Lupyan says, “so language difficulty from a stroke (中风) could have a more severe effect.”
Understanding how inner speech develops has implications for education, says neuroscientist Ladislas Nalborczyk. “Variations in children’s ability to represent speech sounds may impact their ability to learn the relation between sounds and writing,” he says. This may affect the way they learn to read and write, which probably has a huge impact on education.
The researchers propose giving a lack of inner speech a name: “anendophasia.” “It helps scientists find and integrate research on a topic,” Lupyan says. “If people studying something are calling it by different names, the research becomes more disorganized.”
28. What was the purpose of using IRQ?
A. To change people’s experience of inner speech.
B. To find out how many people have an inner voice.
C. To measure people’s agreement with certain statements.
D. To make people think about problems in a conversation form.
29. How does inner speech help with tasks?
A. It offers more inspiration. B. It aids in better performance.
C. It makes people more patient. D. It changes the way of thinking.
30. What does Lupyan suggest about task switching?
A. Inner speech is the primary strategy for it.
B. It is mainly affected by external environment.
C. It can be achieved through various methods.
D. Inner speech has little influence on its complexity.
31. Why do the researchers try to name the lack of inner speech?
A. To make it easier to remember. B. To create a new concept for study.
C. To tell it apart from other speech forms. D. To assist scientists in arranging research on it.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. D

【三、浙江G12名校协作体2026-2027学年高三上学期返校英语测试试题】
A popular musician posts a music video or an athlete shares a workout, and suddenly they seem like part of our lives. People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. Psychology Today defines this phenomenon as a parasocial relationship (准社会关系) — a one-sided connection that exists only in the fan’s mind. First identified in 1956 to describe television viewers feeling closely connected to on-screen figures, this behavior has existed for ages.
Today, social platforms deepen this illusion by offering constant, seemingly real updates on the lives of public figures. However, what audiences actually see is a carefully selected version of reality, edited for perfection rather than truth. Despite this created closeness, young people frequently view celebrities as standards for success. This influence often unconsciously shapes everything from their self-image to their long-term career goals.
These relationships are not always harmful. For some, especially those who feel left out in society, seeing public figures with similar backgrounds can offer a sense of belonging. These connections can inspire confidence and make people feel less alone. In that sense, they can serve a real and meaningful purpose, offering comfort.
The danger arises when the line between admiration and imagination disappears. The relationship becomes unhealthy when fans act as if they truly know a celebrity. They might take planned posts as personal messages and develop unrealistic expectations. Furthermore, these feelings now extend to artificial intelligence (AI). Chatbots acting like real friends can produce deep emotional responses, making it harder to tell real human connection from AI.
Admiration itself is fine. Music, sports and entertainment have long connected communities, but that influence needs clear boundaries. Without them, simply watching a video is easily mistaken for close friendship, and carefully chosen content is mistaken for true connection. Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not.
28. Why did the author mention the musician and the athlete in the first paragraph?
A. To reveal the market value of stars’ posts. B. To criticize celebrities’ too-much-sharing.
C. To show an imagined familiarity with stars. D. To illustrate progressive fan-star connection.
29. How do digital bonds built on celebrity posts affect the youth?
A. They shape youths’ personal values. B. They make the youth perfectionists.
C. They ease beauty standards for youths. D. They develop the youth’s social skills.
30. Which of the following is an example of the “danger” in paragraph 4?
A. Flooding friends’ chats with celebrity updates. B. Using AI chatbots to solve academic challenges.
C. Taking idols’ livestream as private video calls. D. Tracking a star’s posts to monitor their traces.
31. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Music and Sports: The Uniting Strength B. Posts and Responses: The Healing Circle
C. Blessing or Disaster: The Booming Internet D. Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. C 31. D

【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,尤其是第一段“People like and share these posts, and over time, admiration can start to feel like friendship — people like to think they know celebrities. (人们喜欢并分享这些帖子,随着时间的推移,崇拜开始感觉像是友谊——人们喜欢认为自己了解名人。)”以及最后一段“Parasocial relationships should remain what they are: distant and one-sided. In a digital age where everything is designed to feel personal, we must remember that it is not. (准社会关系应该保持原样:有距离的和单向的。在一个一切都被设计得让人感觉很私人的数字时代,我们必须记住,事实并非如此。)”可知,文章主要探讨了人们容易将名人的单向展示误认为真实亲密关系的现象,因此最佳标题是“Stardom or Friendship: The Mistaken Closeness (明星光环还是真实友谊:被误解的亲近感)”。
【四、2027届浙江省强基联盟高三上学期8月返校考英语试题】
An interesting cultural phenomenon occurs every summer when Europeans and Americans visit each other’s continents. Europeans complain that shops and restaurants in America are so coldly air-conditioned as to require a jacket. Americans holidaying in Europe grow impatient on finding that European old-world buildings cause them to sweat.
The divide is rooted in both climate and culture. Long before American companies began using cooling chemicals for air-conditioning, southern Europe was built to handle heat. In traditional houses, white paint and shaded courtyards keep things cool. Windows are thrown open and rooms aired in the mornings. Shutters keep out the midday sun. Northern Europe, meanwhile, is mostly spared the problem by its cold weather thanks to geographical advantages.
These days, as global warming is putting Europe to test, some Europeans who celebrate green lifestyles still feel pangs of carbon guilt about equipping their houses with air-conditioning. Actually, they needn’t. The rapid expansion of renewable energy in Europe means that lowering the temperature will not do much to melt the glaciers. In Spain, solar capacity has grown nearly ten times in the past decade, so it causes fewer carbon emissions to generate power. Portugal and France do just as well, thanks to dozens of nuclear reactors.
Apart from climate morality, many Europeans also worry about the costs, but there is good news on that front as well. Their homes are smaller than American ones, which helps them save two thirds as much electricity on average. Moreover, the solar energy boom means that power is not just greener but cheaper than before. And some governments even offer funding to make old houses energy-efficient.
As the world warms, Europe is heating up faster than any other region. Those who prefer to tough out the summer are free to do so. However, as Dr. Elena Rossi, a climate researcher, points out, “Cooling should no longer be a luxury but a basic necessity. Therefore, the ultimate goal should be to make cheap, clean air-conditioning for everyone.”
28. How does the author introduce the topic?
A. By criticizing energy waste. B. By describing a tourist trend.
C. By presenting a cultural conflict. D. By analyzing different personalities.
29. What contributes to the cooling of houses in Southern Europe?
A. Adjusted lighting system. B. Modern cooling technology.
C. Unique geographical advantages. D. Traditional architectural wisdom.
30. Which of the following is an example of “climate morality”?
A. Using renewable energy to lower electricity bills. B. Refusing air-conditioning to cut carbon emissions.
C. Upgrading old houses to gain government funding. D. Expanding power capacity to promote cozy lifestyles.
31. What do Dr. Elena Rossi’s words mean?
A. Traditional cooling methods are outdated. B. Affordable air-conditioning should be accessible.
C. The public should avoid using air-conditioners. D. People can choose to live with the summer heat.

An ancient Chinese exercise practice that combines slow movements, controlled breathing, and meditation may help lower blood pressure effectively, according to a large randomized clinical trial published in the flagship journal of the American College of Cardiology.
The studied practice, called baduanjin, is a traditional Chinese exercise made up of eight structured movements that combine aerobic (有氧的) activity, flexibility training, and mindfulness. A typical session lasts about 10-15 minutes and does not require equipment or extensive training, and is considered low-to-moderate intensity, making one able to maintain it over time.
The study followed 216 adults, who were at least 40 years old and had blood pressure readings between 130-139 mm Hg, a range classified as stage 1 hypertension (高血压) under ACC/AHA guidelines. They were divided into three groups for the yearlong intervention: baduanjin practice, self-directed exercise, or fast walking.
Compared with self-directed exercise alone, people practicing baduanjin five days a week lowered their 24-hour blood pressure by about 3 mm Hg and reduced office blood pressure by 5 mm Hg after both three months and one year. Researchers noted that these reductions are similar to results seen with some first-line blood pressure medications. The study also found that baduanjin produced results and safety outcomes comparable to fast walking after one year.
One of the most notable findings was that participants maintained the benefits even without continued monitoring or supervision. Failing to maintain long-term participation is often one of the main impediments for lifestyle-based health interventions.
“Baduanjin has been practiced in China for over 800 years, and this study demonstrates how it can be validated through high-quality randomized research,” said Harlan M. Krumholz, Jr. Professor at the Yale School of Medicine. “The blood pressure effect size is similar to that seen in landmark drug trials, but achieved without medication, cost or side effects. This makes it highly scalable for community-based prevention, including in resource-limited settings.”
28. What do we know about baduanjin?
A. It is easily accessible. B. It has a complex routine.
C. It involves high intensity. D. It needs specific training.
29. What did the clinical trial reveal about baduanjin?
A. It beats fast walking in a short time. B. It shows little effect within one year.
C. It requires constant medical supervision. D. It works like some blood pressure drugs.
30. What does the underlined word “impediments” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Priorities. B. Features. C. Obstacles. D. Mistakes.
31. What do Harlan M. Krumholz’s words mean?
A. Practicing baduanjin is resource-limited. B. Baduanjin deserves wide popularization.
C. Baduanjin’s value needs more drug trials. D. Baduanjin takes effect faster than drugs.

A massive concrete-and-glass structure hangs above traffic on Wilshire Boulevard. It is the new home of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the largest art museum in western America. Its daring architecture is not the only unusual thing about it.
“We’ve given up traditional categories of geography,” says Michael Govan, LACMA’s director. “The idea is to wander.” The museum’s single floor treats all artworks equally: no one movement is presented as more important than another. The museum is loosely organized around oceans to emphasize trade and cultural exchange. The Indian Ocean section, for example, includes Turkish ceramics (瓷器) with blue-and-white flower patterns, influenced by earlier Chinese designs.
LACMA’s break from conventional organization symbolizes a movement towards global galleries as the global economy expands. London’s Tate Modern traditionally centered on Western European art. However, it rearranged its works by theme after 2000 to highlight cultural links. The press hated it. In 2019, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) rejected fixed long-term displays. Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” will probably always be on view but the neighbouring wall will sometimes hold photography. Such an adaptable approach allows for unexpected encounters. Yet not everyone may appreciate it.
What is a thoughtful contrast to one visitor may be hard to understand for another. At LACMA a giant coffee table shows off ceramics from various eras. Why? Visitors who can scan QR codes will find out; the rest will merely wonder. But if such experiments fail to impress, curators (策展人) can rearrange the art again.
Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times. At the new LACMA, says Govan, “We don’t go into a dark box and somebody tells us what to think.” Rather, it tries to be in conversation with Los Angeles (LA). Architecturally, the museum’s uneven shape and floor-to-ceiling windows frame the palm trees (棕榈树) and hills, putting LA itself on display.
28. What is special about the new LACMA?
A. Displaying artworks flexibly. B. Stressing ocean movement.
C. Treating artworks differently. D. Featuring Chinese designs.
29. Why does the writer mention Tate Modern and MoMA?
A. To compare them with LACMA. B. To highlight an exhibition trend.
C. To promote long-term displays. D. To explain economic globalization.
30. What is a potential problem with the new exhibition style?
A. It limits the variety of artworks. B. It depends on QR code technology.
C. It brings little profit to art galleries. D. It causes confusion for some visitors.
31. What can be inferred about the new museum from the last paragraph?
A. It values architecture over artworks. B. It may raise argument over art styles.
C. It can mirror environments and times. D. It guides how visitors view the art world.

【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Museums should not be inflexible palaces for artworks, many curators argue: they should reflect their surroundings and times.(许多策展人认为,博物馆不应是僵化的艺术宫殿,而应反映其周围环境和时代背景)”可知,新博物馆能够反映环境和时代。
【七、浙江杭州第二中学2027届高三年级9月开学适应性检测英语试题】
Insects are disappearing. The world has 25 percent fewer terrestrial insects now than in 1990. This includes those we rely on to pollinate our crops. If we don't solve this problem very soon, some species will disappear.
There are many causes for the insect decline, but insecticides are a major part of the problem. Those used today are longer lasting and up to 10,000 times more toxic than some that were banned in the 1970s. Adding to the problem is that these pesticides are now applied to crops as a precaution and used whether pests are present or not.
Overall, the amount of pesticide applied to the land is decreasing, but this is a grossly misleading statistic. A recent paper found that, between 2005 and 2015, there was a 40 percent reduction in the amount of pesticide applied to crops measured by weight. But because modern insecticides are so much more toxic, the global toxicity of treated land to pollinating insects has more than doubled in the same period.
To the public, one often-touted approach is to use pesticide-free pest control methods. These varied techniques are gathered under the name of integrated pest management (IPM) and have been around for decades. They offer effective crop protection and include methods such as crop rotation and the use of natural predators. But their adoption has been incredibly slow, because spraying pesticides is viewed as an easier option. As a result, IPM methods are unfortunately seldom used today.
Without a quick fix, we argue instead that we need a subtle change in focus, away from killing pests and towards protecting crops. By using the minimal dose we need to protect crops, we could reduce the amount of insecticide to a fraction of what is used today. Farmers would benefit from these changes. They would spend less money on pesticides and improve crop production by keeping healthy pollinator insects about. Reducing insecticide doses won’t solve the insect decline problem, but it is a move that could win us time to make food production more sustainable and cultivate farmlands in a greener way. And that will allow insects to recover.
28. According to the passage, which of the statements is TRUE?
A. The toxicity in insecticides used before persists longer.
B. Toxic-free insecticides are now used to keep pests away.
C. The amount of toxicity used per acre is less than before.
D. Currently-used pesticides are much more toxic than before.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word often-touted in paragraph 4?
A. Broadly-publicized. B. Generally-proved.
C. Recently-created. D. Frequently-criticized.
30. What is the best way to treat the insect decline?
A. To research and develop new pesticides. B. To protect crops rather than killing out insects.
C. To raise large-scale natural predators of insects. D. To shift to the IPM pesticide-controlling method.
31. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To propose a practical shift of agricultural practice.
B. To present conflicting evidence about insect decline.
C. To criticize farmers for their over-reliance on spraying.
D. To alert readers to the hidden danger of modern pesticides.

It used to be easy to tell when a face was generated with AI. Whether it was an unnatural expression, impossibly smooth skin, or a noticeable third ear, early AI-generated fake human faces were simple to spot and easy to dismiss. That’s just not true anymore.
Now, AI image generators can produce portraits so convincing that even careful observers struggle to distinguish fact from fiction. That’s why apps such as Zoom and Tinder allow their users to submit biometric identification to help prove a real person exists behind a profile picture. But a new study suggests you can train your brain to get better at spotting fakes.
Past attempts to teach people to spot AI faces have focused on visual errors like strange ears. But those clues can disappear with a software update or by a different prompt (提示词). “The AI is getting too good,” said Amy Dawel, the lead author of the study. “And fraudsters (骗子) may avoid using pictures with obvious mistakes anyway. The result is an endless technological arms race humans are likely to lose.”
Instead, the researchers taught the participants how to recognize broader patterns in how AI systems generate images. “Our training directs people’s attention to global qualities differing between AI and human faces,” Dawel said. Current AI image generators are trained on datasets composed of millions of images. When prompted to generate a face, they don’t copy, but compose one based on the mathematical patterns shared across the faces. Individually, none of these characteristics are strange. But together, the whole is plainer than the sum of its parts which can often be sensed.
Compared with real faces, AI-generated faces tend to be more symmetrical (对称的), more balanced, and more attractive — while also being less expressive, less distinctive and significantly less memorable. The participants were trained to look for these six markers instead of obvious errors. “Even with short training sessions, the chance of spotting AI faces almost doubled,” says Tanya George, a trainer from Australian National University. “People need training to navigate increasingly complex online environments.”
28. Why do some apps require biometric identification?
A. To replace AI image generators. B. To confirm online users’ identity.
C. To limit the use of AI portrait tools. D. To improve the quality of online photos.
29. What does Amy Dawel think of the earlier ways to spot AI faces?
A. They rely much on varied prompts. B. They help fraudsters avoid detection.
C. They have fallen behind AI progress. D. They beat humans in tech competitions.
30. What were the participants told to focus on?
A. Overall facial features. B. Massive image datasets.
C. Tiny facial characteristics. D. Shared mathematical patterns.
31. What does Tanya George think of the training in the research?
A. Effective. B. Complicated. C. Temporary. D. Thorough.

Dreams seem to occur at random, from everyday situations to unpredictable experiences. Now, a new study shows that our personal features as well as real-life events actually shape what we dream about, creating patterns in our subconsciousness (潜意识).
The study, published in Communications Psychology, analyzed thousands of dream and waking experience reports collected over four years. The researchers used natural language processing tools to quantify the structure of dreams. They found that personal features like how often someone daydreams, their attitudes about dreams, and their sleep quality all influence dream content.
Researchers noticed that dreams don’t simply replay scenes from our daily lives. Instead, dreams seem to mix familiar places like workplaces, hospitals, and schools into new scenes that blend memories with imagination. The reported dreams tended to focus more on visual details, feature more characters, and make less logical sense. They were also less self-focused and less driven by conscious thinking.
These dream transformations weren’t the same for everyone. Participants who spent more time daydreaming during the day tended to have dreams that jumped rapidly from one scene to another. Those who placed more importance on dreams described them as more vivid and immersive. Sleep quality also played a role.
The team used three large language models, LLaMA 3, ChatGPT-4, and ChatGPT-4 Turbo, to rate dream reports on 16 different features, such as mood, strangeness and freedom of movement. “By combining large-scale data with computational methods, we were able to uncover patterns in dream contents that were previously difficult to find,” Elce said. “This opens new possibilities for studying consciousness, memory, and mental health in a better way.”
28. How did the researchers conduct the study?
A. Data analysis. B. Sleep observation. C. Personal surveys. D. Life event tracking.
29. Which of the following best describes the nature of the dream?
A. Creative. B. Conscious. C. Realistic. D. Repetitive.
30. What is the main advantage of the language models?
A. Increasing the number of dream features. B. Enhancing the accuracy of human brains.
C. Simplifying more personal dream reports. D. Identifying the structures of various dreams.
31. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?
A. To Control Dreams, Control Your Day. B. Better Sleep Creates Better Dreaming.
C. AI Now Fully Understands Our dreams. D. Dreams Are the Mind’s Hidden Patterns.
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. D

【十、浙江省浙南名校联盟2026-2027学年高三10月联考英语】
Before full sentences, human language may have relied on just two words at a time. According to new research published in PNAS Nexus, the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like "catch fish" or "throw spear." There were no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects, just a concise way to express action. That simple structure was enough for early humans, for whom speed and clarity mattered more than precision.
Traces of this early system still exist today. Linguists call them "living fossils"——words like "killjoy," "pickpocket," and "crybaby" combine a verb and a noun into a single compound word. What sets them apart is how loosely they follow modern grammar. In "pickpocket," it is unclear who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language, before grammar became fully structured. Similar constructions appear across languages, showing they are not mere accidents but echoes of an early way of building meaning.
These early combinations extended far beyond mere action descriptions; they expanded what language could do. By pairing concrete words, people could express abstract ideas. A phrase like "time flies" stretches literal meaning into metaphor, opening the door to more complex thought. That same mechanism (机制) explains humor —unexpected word combinations create surprise, which is often the origin of humor.
This early language also played a role in social competition. The ability to create clever, memorable combinations helped individuals gain social advantage. Quick, expressive language could establish status or challenge opponents. As one researcher put it, this reflected a kind of "survival of the sharpest."
Over time, these simple two-word structures became the foundation for more complex grammar. Even as language grew more complex, those early building blocks never disappeared. They remain hidden in modern speech—small but powerful traces of how human language began.
28. What characterized the earliest form of language?
A. Complex grammar. B. Verb-noun pairings.
C. Full sentences. D. Tense markers.
29. What does the underlined word "ambiguity" in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Simplicity of rules. B. Depth of meaning.
C. Complexity of form. D. Lack of clarity.
30. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. Functions of humor. B. Origin of abstract thought.
C. Features of metaphors. D. Power of word combinations.
31. What is the main function of the last paragraph?
A. To stress the structures' historical role. B. To introduce new evidence for the research.
C. To explain grammar's rapid development. D. To question the findings of previous studies.
【答案】28.B 29.D 30.D 31.A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主题语境:人与社会——历史与文化(语言演变与人类认知)。文章介绍了关于人类早期语言形式的最新研究,指出早期语言可能仅依赖"动词-名词"配对(如 catch fish)进行交流。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中"the earliest form of language used simple verb-noun pairings like 'catch fish' or 'throw spear'."(最早的语言形式使用简单的动词-名词配对,如 catch fish 或 throw spear)可知,早期语言的特征就是动词-名词配对。A 项"复杂语法"、C 项"完整句子"、D 项"时态标记"均与原文"no tense markers, no clear subjects or objects"相悖。故选 B。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段划线词所在句 In "pickpocket," it is unclear who is doing the action. That ambiguity reflects an earlier stage of language(在 pickpocket 中,不清楚是谁在做这个动作。这种______反映了更早期的语言阶段),D 项"Lack of clarity"(缺乏清晰性)是对"unclear"和"ambiguity"的精准同义转述。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段内容可知,该段先指出早期词语组合"expanded what language could do"(拓展了语言的功能),接着说明通过组合具体词汇,人们可以表达抽象概念,又以"time flies"为例说明词语组合能将字面意义延伸为隐喻,最后指出同样的机制还能解释幽默的产生。全段围绕"词语组合"这一核心,阐述其带来的多重作用——表达抽象思想、创造隐喻、产生幽默,故选 D。A、B、C 三项均只对应段中一个例子或一个方面,以偏概全。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段指出这些简单的双词结构成为复杂语法的基础,即使语言变复杂,它们也从未消失,仍隐藏在现代语言中。全段强调其对语言发展的基础性、持久性作用,故选 A。B 项"引入新证据"无中生有;C 项"解释语法快速发展"曲解文意,文中说的是语言变复杂,重点不在"快速";D 项"质疑先前研究"与文意相反。
