第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. This sign proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守) . Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
▲WARNING To avoid danger of choke, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children.
Do not use it in beds, carriages or playpens.
▲WARNING This product contains a button cell or coin battery.
A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns.
Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms.
21. Which mark is required for a camera to be sold in Europe?
A. FR. B. SKC. C. RoHS. D. CE.
22. Which risk is least likely to occur for this product?
A. Burns. B. Poisoning. C. Cuts. D. Choking.
23. What can be learned about this product according to the label?
A. It restricts certain harmful substances. B. It can be opened by children alone.
C. Its packaging cannot be recycled. D. It is allowed to be sold in China.
B
When I was twelve, my grandmother gave me an unusual task: to water her garden not with a hose (水管), but with a small, bent tin cup. “The hose is too fast,” she said, adjusting her straw hat. “It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.”
I grumbled, naturally. It took an hour to water what could have been done in ten minutes. I marched back and forth to the rain bucket, splashing water onto the thirsty soil. But as the weeks passed, the forced slowness began to change things. I started noticing the small dramas of the garden: the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia (秋海棠) that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink.
One afternoon, I found a cocoon (茧) attached to a tomato vine. If I had been blasting away with the hose, I would have knocked it off. Instead, I sat and watched. Over the next few days, I saw the miracle of transformation. When the butterfly finally emerged, drying its wings in the sun, I felt a sense of ownership. I hadn’t just watered a plant; I had protected a life.
Years later, working as a high-speed data analyst, I often felt overwhelmed by the constant flow of information. It was like the hose — too fast, too much, blindly covering everything. One day, stressed and burnt out, I remembered the tin cup. I turned off my monitors and printed out just one complex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, looking at every “leaf” of data.
My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed. “How did you spot that?” he asked. I smiled, thinking of the tomato vine. “I stopped using the hose,” I said.
24. Why did the grandmother ask the author to water the garden with a tin cup?
A. To save water during a drought.
B. To punish the author for laziness.
C. To encourage the author’s patience.
D. To replace the broken hose.
25. What does “the small dramas of the garden” refer to in the second paragraph?
A. The conflicts between different plants.
B. The subtle and lively details of nature.
C. The fascinating behaviors of garden creatures.
D. The plays performed in the garden.
26. How did the author’s childhood experience influence his career?
A. It made him focused and detailed.
B. It directly inspired his career choice.
C. It inspired him to take up gardening.
D. It taught him to appreciate physical work.
27. Which is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Joy of Slow Living B. A Lesson from the Tin Cup
C. The Challenge of Data Analysis D. The Way of Watering the Garden
C
In the corners of social media dominated by wellness content, influencers recommend various treatments and products for losing weight, fighting exhaustion, and achieving other health goals. Some approaches may be helpful, but many blow up overnight and fade just as fast, with little evidence to back them up, medical experts say. Some influencers urge the followers to avoid certain foods like seed oils, while others push extreme diets, such as meat-heavy ones. Admittedly, alternative health practices lacking medical backing have long existed in popular culture. Yet the large amount of online advice has led to calls for safeguards and has even gained some mainstream acceptance.
Most influencers have or want business relationships with companies that allow them to earn income by promoting products. The arrangements don’t necessarily mean wellness content creators disbelieve in what they’re marketing, but they do have an interest in publicizing products that may or may not work. Creators can get paid for pictures or videos that promote a product and also earn a share of the sales through features such as special tracking links.
Experts note it’s therefore better to proceed with care when someone urges you to hit the “buy” button, whether it’s for natural supplements, teas that claim to help with weight loss or any other wellness products that show up in your social media feed.
Promoting dietary supplements has been a particularly profitable exercise for many influencers, said Timothy Caulfield, a health policy and law professor at the University of Alberta. He views the supplements industry as “the backbone” of health misinformation aimed at consumers and designed to generate billions of dollars in income. “It’s gotten to the point where if someone is selling a supplement, it’s a red flag,” he said. “I don’t think it was always like that, but it certainly is now.”
28. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1?
A. Weight loss products are popular with the public.
B. The followers are encouraged by experts online.
C. Healthy eating is frequently promoted by influencers.
D. Social media are flooded with wellness product promotions.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How influencers make profits. B. How influencers work with companies.
C. How influencers create wellness content. D. How social media help promote products.
30. What do experts suggest about buying wellness products?
A. Ignoring the social media feed. B. Being cautious when making purchases.
C. Choosing the most recommended products. D. Making natural supplements the top priority.
31. What can be inferred from Timothy Caulfield’s remarks?
A. The supplement industry deserves closer examination.
B. People have become wise consumers of health products.
C. Wellness influencers care about public health and profits.
D. Supplement companies provide useful health information.
D
Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
32. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure.
C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
33. What is a role of chingolos’ song?
A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat.
34. What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed.
C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction.
35. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results?
A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features.
C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population.

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。
The Happy Person’s Retreat (退让) Principle
Many people regard giving in to conflicts as weakness or surrender. Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle. ____36____ It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦).
The core logic behind this principle is easy to understand. People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace. ____37____ In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight.
____38____ Imagine you encounter a rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately.
This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment. ____39____ When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly. Retreat only works when the conflict is meaningless and brings no positive value to your life.
Learning to apply this psychological rule brings lasting benefits. It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful. ____40____ True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute.
A. Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly.
B. It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you.
C. Many people misunderstand the real meaning of personal happiness.
D. We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts.
E. Blind giving-in will only encourage others to treat you improperly.
F. It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts.
G. Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness.

Tripod’s story began one spring morning when Dr. Jeanna Godfrey was writing medical records. A woman called about a badly injured cat in her backyard and ____41____ fearing to pick him up, for she was not a cat person.
Dr. Godfrey sent two students to ____42____ the cat. Soon they returned with a large gray tabby. Dr. Godfrey gently ____43____ it on the exam table. The cat lay very still, breathing rapidly and ____44____. From the wound edges, Dr. Godfrey knew there was a slim chance to save its leg. She ____45____, carefully cleaning the wound. Just then, a soft low sound ____46____ from its throat, and his breathing grew less labored. She whispered he was a fighter and deserved a ____47____ .
After ____48____ his vital signs, she performed the amputation (截肢手术). In the following weeks, the cat, now named Tripod, went through ups and downs. Then the day arrived when Dr. Godfrey decided he had truly survived his ____49____. He was getting around well on three legs and had ____50____ nearly five pounds.
Word spread of the three-legged miracle cat. Many clients came without their ____51____, just stopping by to check on his ____52____. Among them was an elderly retired Army officer. Whenever he asked for Tripod, the gray tabby came around the corner, headed straight toward the old gentleman, and jumped onto his lap with ____53____. The man said his blood pressure had not been this good in years, even with medicine. He somewhat jokingly ____54____ it to spending time with the cat. Surprisingly, the doctor acknowledged there was medical evidence to ____55____ it.

After waking up, you may feel frustrated that you cannot recall the dreams you had last night. Artificial intelligence (AI) may be _____56_____ (capacity) of helping you, because they _____57_____ (learn) all the time from large amounts of data from both tests and images.

The researchers used an online data set provided by the University of Minnesota, US, _____59_____ consisted of brain scans from four participants as they each viewed _____60_____ set of 10, 000 photos.
The AI then learned about the brain activities on the basis of the _____61_____ (analyze)of changes in blood flow and then matched the brain activities with the photos. Through this method, AI learned how human brains would react when seeing different photos.
_____62_____ (ultimate), the researchers tested the AI on additional brain scans from the same participants when they viewed photos of a toy bear, airplane, clock and train. If the person looked at an airplane, for example, the AI would use the brain scan data to create an image of a vague airplane. Then, it would turn _____63_____ the previous “text-to-image” model and improve the quality of the image by feeding itself the keyword “airplane”. The final images were “convincing” with about 80 percent of _____64_____ (accurate), according to the researchers.
The new study created a novel approach to ______65______ (combine) texts and images to “decode the brain”. In the future, scientists hope that the technology can be used to record imagined thoughts and dreams.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the family watched their favorite TV show together, they heard Mark’s dad’s trademark cough. Every time he heard that sound, Mark’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking.
Mark just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad — he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking so much? What if it caused a serious disease? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom?
Mark’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Mark’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit.
One evening, Mark approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Mark’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes when coming home to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it’s still so hard on him, on us…”
The next day at school, Mark was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?” Mark asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Mark. This gave Mark a ray of hope and an idea.
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。
Mark decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change.

It's not just a container. It's an AI powered sorting system. Inside, a camera identifies the material of each item. You throwin plastic, paper, metal, and then a mechanical arms sorts the item into the correct section. Isn't that a bit unnecessary? And what if IT makes a mistake? Actually, its accuracy rate is over ninety nine percent, far Better than human sorting. The real benefit is the data. IT sends a real time information to the management company. What's the point of that data? IT allows for super efficient collection routes. Instead of sending out trucks on a fixed schedule, they only dispatch them when a specific bin is nearly full.

B. It can remind people to sort waste.

【原文】W: How is this new “smart bin” different from a regular recycling bin?
M: It’s not just a container; it’s an AI-powered sorting system. Inside, a camera identifies the material of each item you throw in — plastic, paper, metal — and then a mechanical arm sorts the item into the correct section.

M: Actually, its accuracy rate is over 99%, far better than human sorting. The real benefit is the data. It sends real-time information to the management company.
W: What’s the point of that data?
M: It allows for super-efficient collection routes. Instead of sending out trucks on a fixed schedule, they only dispatch them when a specific bin is nearly full. This saves fuel, reduces traffic, and cuts down on carbon emissions significantly.
W: So the intelligence isn’t just for sorting, but for improving the entire collection process.
M: Exactly. It’s a small part of building a smarter, more sustainable city.

第二部分 阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
In today’s global trade, product safety is extremely important. Therefore, labels on products help consumers make informed choices.
The primary function of these marks is to ensure the safety of users and property. For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. This sign proves that the product meets all relevant EU standards. Unlike an official approval, it is based on the company’s own evaluation. In contrast, the Chinese “CCC” mark requires testing by an official organization, and a certificate must be obtained. Products without the “CCC” mark cannot be sold in China.
Other marks are also important. The French “FR” sign instructs consumers to separate packaging for recycling. The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules, but as it is merely one part of the CE standard, it does not ensure full compliance (遵守) . Codes like “SKC/SKU” are simply used by companies to manage their product storage. Most importantly, products must have clear safety warnings on their labels, or they will be banned from the market.
Below is a product label:
▲WARNING To avoid danger of choke, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children.
Do not use it in beds, carriages or playpens.
▲WARNING This product contains a button cell or coin battery.
A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns.
Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms.
21. Which mark is required for a camera to be sold in Europe?
A. FR. B. SKC. C. RoHS. D. CE.
22. Which risk is least likely to occur for this product?
A. Burns. B. Poisoning. C. Cuts. D. Choking.
23. What can be learned about this product according to the label?
A. It restricts certain harmful substances. B. It can be opened by children alone.
C. Its packaging cannot be recycled. D. It is allowed to be sold in China.
【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。围绕“全球贸易中的产品标签与安全标识”展开,介绍了不同国家和地区的强制标识(如欧盟CE、中国CCC)、其他功能标识的作用,并结合一个具体的产品标签示例进行解读。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For instance, electrical equipment sold in the European Union must carry the “CE” mark. (例如,在欧盟销售的电气设备必须带有CE标识)”可知,相机作为电气设备,在欧洲销售必须带有CE标识。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据WARNING部分“To avoid danger of choke, keep this plastic bag away from babies and children. (为避免窒息风险,请将此塑料袋远离婴幼儿)”及“This product contains a button cell or coin battery. A swallowed button cell or coin battery can cause Internal Chemical Burns. Battery liquid is poisonous and can cause dizziness and other serious symptoms. (本产品含有纽扣电池。吞下纽扣电池可能导致体内化学灼伤。电池液有毒,可能引发头晕及其他严重症状)”可知,提到了窒息风险(Choking)、化学灼伤(Burns)和中毒(Poisoning),但没有提到割伤(Cuts)相关的风险。故选C。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The “RoHS” mark shows a product limits harmful materials under EU rules (RoHS标识表明该产品按照欧盟法规限制了有害物质的使用)”及标签上的RoHS标识可知,该产品限制了某些有害物质的使用。故选A。
B
When I was twelve, my grandmother gave me an unusual task: to water her garden not with a hose (水管), but with a small, bent tin cup. “The hose is too fast,” she said, adjusting her straw hat. “It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.”
I grumbled, naturally. It took an hour to water what could have been done in ten minutes. I marched back and forth to the rain bucket, splashing water onto the thirsty soil. But as the weeks passed, the forced slowness began to change things. I started noticing the small dramas of the garden: the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia (秋海棠) that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink.
One afternoon, I found a cocoon (茧) attached to a tomato vine. If I had been blasting away with the hose, I would have knocked it off. Instead, I sat and watched. Over the next few days, I saw the miracle of transformation. When the butterfly finally emerged, drying its wings in the sun, I felt a sense of ownership. I hadn’t just watered a plant; I had protected a life.
Years later, working as a high-speed data analyst, I often felt overwhelmed by the constant flow of information. It was like the hose — too fast, too much, blindly covering everything. One day, stressed and burnt out, I remembered the tin cup. I turned off my monitors and printed out just one complex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, looking at every “leaf” of data.
My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed. “How did you spot that?” he asked. I smiled, thinking of the tomato vine. “I stopped using the hose,” I said.
24. Why did the grandmother ask the author to water the garden with a tin cup?
A. To save water during a drought.
B. To punish the author for laziness.
C. To encourage the author’s patience.
D. To replace the broken hose.
25. What does “the small dramas of the garden” refer to in the second paragraph?
A. The conflicts between different plants.
B. The subtle and lively details of nature.
C. The fascinating behaviors of garden creatures.
D. The plays performed in the garden.
26. How did the author’s childhood experience influence his career?
A. It made him focused and detailed.
B. It directly inspired his career choice.
C. It inspired him to take up gardening.
D. It taught him to appreciate physical work.
27. Which is a suitable title for the text?
A. The Joy of Slow Living B. A Lesson from the Tin Cup
C. The Challenge of Data Analysis D. The Way of Watering the Garden
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述作者12岁时,祖母让其用小锡杯而非水管给花园浇水,作者起初抱怨,但随着时间推移,他开始注意到花园里的细微之处。多年后,作为高速数据分析师的作者,工作中因信息过多而感到不堪重负,他想起用锡杯浇水的经历,放慢节奏分析数据,发现了自动算法遗漏的关键错误。这段童年经历教会作者专注细节,也启示人们做事不能一味求快。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The hose is too fast. It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.(水管太快了。它不知道什么时候该停。杯子能让你关注到每一片叶子。)”以及第二段“I grumbled, naturally. It took an hour to water what could have been done in ten minutes. I marched back and forth to the rain bucket, splashing water onto the thirsty soil. But as the weeks passed, the forced slowness began to change things. I started noticing the small dramas of the garden: the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia (秋海棠) that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink.(我自然是嘟囔抱怨起来。原本十分钟就能浇完的活儿,却花了一个小时。我一趟又一趟地往返于接雨水的桶和花园之间,把水泼洒在干涸的土壤上。但几周过去后,这种被迫的慢节奏开始改变一些事情。我开始留意到花园里的细微变化:瓢虫坚定地攀爬,需要格外呵护的秋海棠微微下垂,土壤喝饱水后颜色变深的样子)”可知,作者通过用杯子浇水开始注意到花园里的细节可知,祖母让作者用锡杯浇水是为了培养作者的耐心,让他做事不那么急躁,能够关注到细节,故选C项。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“the determined climb of a ladybug, the slight droop of a begonia (秋海棠) that needed extra care, the way the soil darkened when it had truly had enough to drink.(瓢虫坚定地攀爬,需要格外呵护的秋海棠微微下垂,土壤喝饱水后颜色变深的样子)”可推知,“the small dramas of the garden”指的是花园里大自然细微而生动的细节,故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“I turned off my monitors and printed out just one complex dataset. I sat with it, pencil in hand, looking at every “leaf” of data.(我关掉显示器,只打印出一个复杂的数据集。我拿着铅笔,坐在那里,查看数据的每一个“叶子”)”以及第五段“My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed.(我的老板原本对我缓慢的进度持怀疑态度,直到我发现了一个自动化算法遗漏的关键错误)”作者发现了自动算法遗漏的关键错误可知,童年用锡杯浇水培养的耐心和关注细节的习惯,让作者在工作中能够专注、细致地分析数据,故选A项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“When I was twelve, my grandmother gave me an unusual task: to water her garden not with a hose (水管), but with a small, bent tin cup. “The hose is too fast,” she said, adjusting her straw hat. “It doesn’t know when to stop. The cup makes you look at every leaf.”(十二岁那年,奶奶交给我一项不寻常的任务:不用水管,而是用一只弯了的小锡杯给她的花园浇水。 “水管太快了,”她边说边整理了下草帽,“它不知道什么时候该停。用杯子浇,你才会留意到每一片叶子”以及最后一段“My boss was skeptical of my slow pace, until I found a critical error that the automated algorithms had missed. “How did you spot that?” he asked. I smiled, thinking of the tomato vine. “I stopped using the hose,” I said.(老板原本对我缓慢的工作节奏心存疑虑,直到我找出了一个自动化算法没能发现的关键错误。 “你是怎么发现的?” 他问道。 我笑了,想起了那株番茄藤。 “我不再用水管了。” 我说。)”可知,文章围绕作者童年用锡杯浇水的经历展开,这段经历让作者学会关注细节,在工作中也受益于此,B选项“A Lesson from the Tin Cup(来自锡杯的一课)”能概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选B项。
C
In the corners of social media dominated by wellness content, influencers recommend various treatments and products for losing weight, fighting exhaustion, and achieving other health goals. Some approaches may be helpful, but many blow up overnight and fade just as fast, with little evidence to back them up, medical experts say. Some influencers urge the followers to avoid certain foods like seed oils, while others push extreme diets, such as meat-heavy ones. Admittedly, alternative health practices lacking medical backing have long existed in popular culture. Yet the large amount of online advice has led to calls for safeguards and has even gained some mainstream acceptance.
Most influencers have or want business relationships with companies that allow them to earn income by promoting products. The arrangements don’t necessarily mean wellness content creators disbelieve in what they’re marketing, but they do have an interest in publicizing products that may or may not work. Creators can get paid for pictures or videos that promote a product and also earn a share of the sales through features such as special tracking links.
Experts note it’s therefore better to proceed with care when someone urges you to hit the “buy” button, whether it’s for natural supplements, teas that claim to help with weight loss or any other wellness products that show up in your social media feed.
Promoting dietary supplements has been a particularly profitable exercise for many influencers, said Timothy Caulfield, a health policy and law professor at the University of Alberta. He views the supplements industry as “the backbone” of health misinformation aimed at consumers and designed to generate billions of dollars in income. “It’s gotten to the point where if someone is selling a supplement, it’s a red flag,” he said. “I don’t think it was always like that, but it certainly is now.”
28. What phenomenon is presented in paragraph 1?
A. Weight loss products are popular with the public.
B. The followers are encouraged by experts online.
C. Healthy eating is frequently promoted by influencers.
D. Social media are flooded with wellness product promotions.
29. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. How influencers make profits. B. How influencers work with companies.
C. How influencers create wellness content. D. How social media help promote products.
30. What do experts suggest about buying wellness products?
A. Ignoring the social media feed. B. Being cautious when making purchases.
C. Choosing the most recommended products. D. Making natural supplements the top priority.
31. What can be inferred from Timothy Caulfield’s remarks?
A. The supplement industry deserves closer examination.
B. People have become wise consumers of health products.
C. Wellness influencers care about public health and profits.
D. Supplement companies provide useful health information.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了社交媒体上网红大量推广各类健康产品,不少缺乏医学依据。网红借此商业获利,专家提醒谨慎购买,教授指出保健品行业充斥健康虚假信息。
【28题详解】

(在以健康内容为主的社交媒体角落里,网红们推荐各种减肥、缓解疲劳以及实现其他健康目标的疗法和产品。一些方法或许有效,但许多(养生方法)一夜爆火、转瞬即逝,且缺乏可靠证据支持,医学专家指出。一些网红劝告粉丝避免食用某些食物,如籽油;而另一些则推崇极端饮食方式,例如高肉食饮食。诚然,缺乏医学依据的替代性健康实践早已存在于流行文化中。然而,大量网络建议已引发对相关措施的呼吁,甚至在主流社会中获得了一定认可。)”可知,第一段核心描述了社交媒体的健康内容板块中,网红大量推荐各类减肥、抗疲劳的疗法与健康产品,其中不少缺乏科学依据却传播迅速。这对应“社交媒体上充斥着健康产品推广”的现象。

(大多数网红已经或希望与公司建立商业合作关系,通过推广产品来获取收入。这些合作并不意味着健康内容创作者不信任自己所推广的产品,但他们确实有利益将可能有效或无效的产品推向公众。创作者可以通过推广产品的图片或视频获得报酬,同时还能通过特殊追踪链接等机制,从销售中获得一定分成。)”可知,第二段围绕网红的盈利模式展开:他们与品牌建立商业合作,通过发布推广内容、专属带货链接分成等方式,从产品宣传中获取收入。段落核心是说明网红从健康内容中获利的方式。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Experts note it’s therefore better to proceed with care when someone urges you to hit the “buy” button, whether it’s for natural supplements, teas that claim to help with weight loss or any other wellness products that show up in your social media feed. (专家指出,当有人劝你点击“购买”按钮时,无论涉及的是天然补充剂、声称有助于减肥的茶饮,还是社交媒体上出现的其他健康产品,都应谨慎行事。)”可知,专家建议消费者面对社交平台推送的健康产品时,应当谨慎决策,不要盲目下单。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He views the supplements industry as “the backbone” of health misinformation aimed at consumers and designed to generate billions of dollars in income. “It’s gotten to the point where if someone is selling a supplement, it’s a red flag,” he said. “I don’t think it was always like that, but it certainly is now.” (他认为,补充剂行业是针对消费者的健康虚假信息的“支柱”,这类健康虚假信息旨在赚取数十亿美元的收入。“现在的情况已经到了一个地步:如果有人在销售补充剂,那就是一个警示信号,”他说,“我不认为这种情况一直如此,但如今确实如此。”)”可知,从蒂莫西·考菲尔德的言论中可以推断出补剂行业乱象较多,理应受到更严格的监管与审查。

Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.
Male chingolos learn their unique, two-second melody from adult males. “It is a distinctive song — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says one of the researchers. “It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” However, urbanization and habitat loss have broken this learning chain, causing local song “dialects” to disappear.
Driven by this problem, researchers took on a pioneering task: bringing back a song that had disappeared from the wild — known only from a musical record made in the 1960s — to a population of chingolos.
Using physics-based modeling of the bird’s vocal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial version of the lost song. They then engineered this model into a physical device designed to broadcast the forgotten melody — a “robotic tutor.” This artificial song was introduced to the chingolos in the park during their critical learning period from October to February. The sessions took place during peak singing hours and were limited to a maximum of eight hours. There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses.
The results were impressive. Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics.
“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity,” says another researcher. The team is now developing AI systems to automatically identify individual bird songs and planning to study cultural spread in bird populations to ensure that bird culture is not lost again.
32. Why did the researchers teach the birds the song?
A. To save an endangered species. B. To study the birds’ brain structure.
C. To develop new robotic devices. D. To preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
33. What is a role of chingolos’ song?
A. It keeps hunters away from them. B. It helps them adapt to urban growth.
C. It functions as their social identity. D. It makes them remember their habitat.
34. What is the purpose of the random pauses?
A. To protect the birds’ vocal tract. B. To test the birds’ reaction speed.
C. To push the birds to catch the beat. D. To trick the birds into interaction.
35. What can we learn from chingolos’ learning results?
A. The song has spread to other bird species. B. Their singing shows special vocal features.
C. Their response to the song needs improving. D. The effectiveness depends on their population.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. D 35. B

【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Researchers from the University of Buenos Aires have successfully used a robotic tutor to teach the male chingolo, a kind of small bird in South America, a song that was once part of the species’ culture but had been lost for more than half a century.(布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的研究人员已成功使用机器人导师,教南美一种小型鸟类 —— 雄性红领带鹀 学习一首曾属于该物种文化、但已消失半个多世纪的鸣唱)”以及最后一段“This is about preserving not just genetic, but cultural biodiversity (这不仅是为了保护遗传多样性,也是为了保护文化多样性)”可知,研究人员教鸟儿这首歌是为了保护鸟类的文化遗产。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It serves to attract females and protect territory. It is the bird’s way of saying, “This is me, and here I am.” (它用来吸引雌鸟和保护领地。这是鸟儿表达“这就是我,我就在这里”的方式。)”可知,红领带鹀的歌声是它们的社会身份标识。故选C项。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“There were random pauses (停顿) in between so that the birds interpreted the playback from the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were responding to each other. This stimulated the birds’ vocal responses. (中间有随机停顿,这样鸟儿就会把放置在该区域的三个设备播放的声音当作真实的交流,就好像这些设备在互相回应一样。这刺激了鸟类的发声反应。)”可知,随机停顿的目的是诱使鸟儿进行互动。故选D项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Young chingolos learned and adopted the song, though they added their own population’s “accent” to the final trill (颤音) , which showed that their singing is shaped by learned behaviors and inborn characteristics. (年轻的红领带鹀学习并采用了这首歌,尽管它们在最后的颤音中加入了自己种群的“口音”,这表明它们的歌声是由习得行为和先天特征共同塑造的。)”可知,从红领带鹀的学习结果中我们可以了解到它们的歌声表现出特殊的发声特征。故选B项。

The Happy Person’s Retreat (退让) Principle
Many people regard giving in to conflicts as weakness or surrender. Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle. ____36____ It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦).
The core logic behind this principle is easy to understand. People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace. ____37____ In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight.
____38____ Imagine you encounter a rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately.
This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment. ____39____ When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly. Retreat only works when the conflict is meaningless and brings no positive value to your life.
Learning to apply this psychological rule brings lasting benefits. It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful. ____40____ True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute.
A. Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly.
B. It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you.
C. Many people misunderstand the real meaning of personal happiness.
D. We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts.
E. Blind giving-in will only encourage others to treat you improperly.
F. It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts.
G. Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness.
【答案】36. F 37. G 38. A 39. D 40. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了心理学家提出的“快乐者退让原则”(The Happy Person’s Retreat Principle),阐明了其核心逻辑、适用边界与人生智慧。
【36题详解】
前文“Yet psychologists put forward a meaningful concept: the Happy Person’s Retreat Principle.(然而,心理学家提出了一种有意义的概念:快乐者的退让原则。)”刚提出“快乐者退让原则”这一概念,空后“It is a wise, rational and intelligent choice rather than timidity (怯懦).(这是一种明智、理性且富有智慧的选择,而非怯懦。)”紧接着说“这是明智、理性、智慧的选择,而非怯懦”。F 项“It explains why happy people prefer to retreat from pointless conflicts.(这也解释了为什么快乐的人更愿意远离毫无意义的争执。)”承接概念名称,进一步阐明该原则的核心内涵,即“快乐的人为什么选择退让”,与后文对其“明智而非怯懦”的评价形成自然衔接。
【37题详解】
前文“People living stable, fulfilling lives have precious things to cherish: warm families, healthy bodies, steady careers and inner peace.(拥有稳定、充实生活的人,往往珍视一些宝贵的东西:温暖的家庭、健康的身体、稳定的职业以及内心的平静。)”说生活稳定充实的人有家庭、健康、事业、内心平静等珍贵之物要珍惜;后文“In contrast, those trapped in negative lives have little to lose, so they tend to argue fiercely over trivial things and risk everything to win a fight.(相反,那些陷入负面生活状态的人几乎没有可失去的,因此他们往往为琐碎小事激烈争执,并不惜一切代价赢得一场争吵。)”用“In contrast(相比之下)”转而说生活消极的人没什么可失去,所以容易为小事激烈争吵。G项“Getting involved in quarrels will make them lose more valuable happiness.(卷入争吵会让他们失去更多珍贵的幸福。)”正好解释了为什么生活幸福的人不愿纠缠于冲突 —— 因为争吵会让他们失去更宝贵的东西,与后文“没什么可失去的人”构成鲜明对比。
【38题详解】
空后“Imagine you encounter rude fight on the road. If you choose to fight back angrily, you may get caught in a fierce argument or even physical conflict. The momentary sense of victory will cost you your good mood, precious time and even personal safety. However, stepping back calmly helps you skip unnecessary trouble immediately.(想象一下,你在路上遇到一场粗鲁的争执。如果你选择愤怒地反击,可能会陷入激烈的争吵,甚至引发肢体冲突。短暂的胜利感将让你失去好心情、宝贵的时间,甚至个人安全。而冷静地后退,则能让你立即避免不必要的麻烦。)”整段描述了“路上遇到粗鲁的人,愤怒反击vs冷静退让”的具体场景,是一个完整的日常事例。A 项“Here is a typical daily example to illustrate this principle clearly.(以下是一个典型的日常例子,用来清晰地说明这一原则。 )”起到了引出下文例子的过渡作用,逻辑衔接紧密。
【39题详解】
前文“This principle never means blind tolerance for all unfair treatment.(这一原则并不意味着盲目容忍所有不公。)”明确指出这个原则绝不意味着盲目容忍所有不公,后文“When your basic rights, personal safety or moral bottom line are seriously violated, you have every reason to defend yourself firmly.(当你的基本权利、人身安全或道德底线受到严重侵犯时,你完全有理由坚定地捍卫自己。)”说“当基本权利、人身安全或道德底线被严重侵犯时,你完全有理由坚定自卫”。D 项“We should never give up our principles to avoid temporary conflicts.(我们绝不能为了回避暂时的冲突而放弃自己的原则。)”承上启下,既呼应了“不盲目容忍”,又强调了坚守原则的重要性,与后文“捍卫底线”的论述高度一致。
【40题详解】
前文“It saves you from endless emotional consumption and keeps your inner world peaceful.(它能避免你陷入无休止的情绪消耗,保持内心世界的平静。)”列举了退让原则的两大好处:免于无尽的情绪消耗、保持内心平静;后文“True happiness lies in guarding your own happy life instead of winning every meaningless dispute.(真正的幸福在于守护属于自己的快乐生活,而非赢得每一次毫无意义的争执。)”升华到“真正的快乐在于守护自己的幸福生活,而不是赢得每一场无意义的争论”。B 项“It finally allows you to focus energy on what truly matters to you.(它最终能让你将精力集中在真正对你重要的事情上。)”继续补充第三个好处,且“专注于真正重要的事”与后文“守护幸福生活”形成递进,逻辑连贯。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As the family watched their favorite TV show together, they heard Mark’s dad’s trademark cough. Every time he heard that sound, Mark’s heart felt heavy. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat, trying to focus on the show, but his mind continued to drift to thoughts of all the damage his dad was doing to his lungs by smoking.
Mark just didn’t understand. His dad was a great dad — he spent a lot of his spare time with him playing outside and watching TV. Plus, he was really smart, so why would he be so stupid as to risk his health by smoking so much? What if it caused a serious disease? Had he ever considered how heartbroken it would make him and his mom?
Mark’s mind wandered back to a conversation he had overheard between his parents. His mom had been pleading (恳求) with his dad, her voice full of worry. “You need to think about your health, for Mark’s sake if not for your own,” she had said. But his dad just brushed her off, saying he was too stressed to quit.
One evening, Mark approached his mom to discuss the issue. “I’ve tried to persuade him to quit,” Mark’s mom expressed with a sigh. “But he always gets annoyed whenever I bring up the subject.” She looked tired and defeated. “At least your dad is considerate with his smoking; he never does it indoors or around others. He even changes his clothes when coming home to prevent us from smelling the smoke. Despite that, it’s still so hard on him, on us…”
The next day at school, Mark was playing basketball with his classmate Tim on the court. “Hey, does either of your parents smoke?” he asked. “Yeah, my dad smokes, but he’s cut down in the past year,” replied Tim. “Oh, how did he do that?” Mark asked curiously. “I don’t really know what happened. I guess he just realized it was time for a change,” said Tim, as he threw the ball back to Mark. This gave Mark a ray of hope and an idea.

【答案】
Mark decided to take action, hoping to encourage his dad to change. He sat down at his desk and began to write a heartfelt letter to his dad. In the letter, he expressed his love and concern for his dad’s health, describing how worried he and his mom were about the potential consequences of smoking. He also shared his memories of the happy times they had spent together and how much he wanted his dad to be around for a long time. Finally, he gently suggested that his dad consider quitting smoking for his own good and for the sake of his family.
The next day, Mark found a reply from his dad on his bed. His dad had written a note saying that he had read Mark’s letter carefully and was deeply touched by his son’s love and concern. He admitted that he had been aware of the risks of smoking but had been too weak to quit. However, Mark’s letter had given him the strength and motivation he needed. He promised Mark that he would try his best to quit smoking and would seek help if necessary. Mark was overjoyed to read his dad’s reply and felt a sense of relief wash over him.
