Parcel Locker — The Smarter Way to Receive Parcels
What are parcel lockers?
Parcel lockers, also called smart lockers or package lockers, are secure, automated (自动化的) storage units in centralized locations. They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace.
Why are they not widely used?
Despite all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still tend to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don’t know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it.
Why is EasyLocker different?
EasyLocker is one of the most popular parcel locker services. Here are some of its key advantages.

Zhang Hongjun once spent his days on noisy construction sites in Shanghai, far from his rural hometown in Fujian province. For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city. He dreamed of a change but saw few opportunities back home.
A visit became a turning point. Staying in his village, Zhang noticed something new. The roads were paved, internet access had reached the village and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential to him. An idea began to form: what if he could build a future here, not just make a living there?
Using his savings and a small government allowance, Zhang took a daring step. He transformed his family’s old, empty house into a modern café, a place where city visitors could enjoy coffee while viewing the terraced fields (梯田). At first, neighbors were puzzled. “Who will come to the mountains for coffee?” they asked. Zhang persisted (坚持), learning about coffee beans and coffee-making skills online.
Today, “Mountain Cloud Café” is more than a coffee shop. It’s a window for his village. Tourists come on weekends, and in his café they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with steady income. More importantly, his success has sparked (引发) a conversation. A few other young people, who once thought leaving was the only option, are now asking, “Could I come back too?”
“My dream isn’t huge,” Zhang says, looking at the lively scene outside. “I just want our home to prosper, so that our children love to stay here.” His journey paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life.
24. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s early life as a migrant worker?
A. Simple. B. Secure. C. Unsatisfying. D. Undisturbing.
25. Why did Zhang return and start his Café business?
A. He failed in his job in Shanghai. B. He was in poor health in the city.
C. He was invited by the local government. D. He found new changes and support in his village.
26. What can we learn about Mountain Cloud Café?
A. It helps develop the village. B. It features special coffee beans.
C. It is profitable and custom-made. D. It is popular from beginning to end.
27. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A New Trend of Village Tourism B. The Importance of Local Specialties
C. From Migrant Worker to Café Owner D. Between the city and the village
C
The average smartphone users interact with their device approximately 150 times daily — a frequency amounting to once every six and a half waking minutes. While this figure has become almost commonplace, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying such habitual behavior have only recently attracted serious research attention. Scientists at Stanford University have identified a feedback cycle they term the “dopamine (多巴胺) gap”: the interval between anticipating a notification and its actual delivery. During this period, the brain releases dopamine, generating a mild but powerful craving that encourages repeated checking.
This biological tendency is deliberately exploited by the digital industry. Social media platforms and mobile applications are carefully engineered to leverage this mechanism through features like endless scrolling, unpredictable reward patterns, and push notifications — all intentional design choices aimed at maximizing user engagement and, consequently, advertising income. “These companies are not building tools,” argues Dr. Adam Alter, author of Irresistible. “They are constructing behavior-change systems disguised as everyday utilities.”
The consequences extend well beyond wasted time. A 2025 study published in Psychological Science tracked 2,000 adolescents over five years, finding that each additional hour of daily social media use at age 14 was associated with a 13% increase in anxiety and depression symptoms by age 19. This relationship remained statistically significant even after accounting for family background and prior mental health conditions.
Yet the industry’s response has been criticized as “performative minimalism” — features such as screen-time trackers and focus modes that provide users with an illusion of control while leaving the underlying addictive structure completely unchanged. A person who turns off notifications for a few hours inevitably returns to the same endless feed later. “It’s like putting a bandage on a broken bone,” observes Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford psychiatrist. “The essential problem remains unaddressed.”
Some regulators are taking stronger action. The EU’s Digital Services Act, updated in 2025, now requires platforms to make their recommendation algorithms available for independent review. Meanwhile, a growing “digital minimalism” movement advocates for intentional reduction in technology use — not through more apps, but through personal behavioral changes like scheduling phone-free periods.
The solution, it appears, lies not in abandoning technology entirely, but in reclaiming the control that its designers have gradually taken away.
28. What effect does the so-called “dopamine gap” bring about for smartphone users?
A. Fewer smartphone notifications.
B. Slow release of brain neurotransmitters.
C. Frequent checking of their phones.
D. Less interest in real-world interactions.
29. What does the underlined word “leverage” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Employ. B. Control. C. Shape. D. Generate.
30. Why does the author mention “screen-time trackers and focus modes” in Paragraph 4?
A. To praise the industry’s efforts to address phone addiction.
B. To illustrate the EU’s new regulatory requirements for apps.
C. To suggest that users should rely more on built-in phone features.
D. To argue that current solutions fail to solve the underlying problem.
31. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s main argument?
A. Smartphone addiction is a minor issue that can be solved by users’ willpower.
B. Digital tools are designed to capture attention, but users can regain control.
C. Tech companies have deliberately exploited human biology for profit.
D. Technology is inherently harmful and should be used as little as possible.
D
Is the ability to pretend and imagine situations uniquely human? To find out the answer, a team of evolutionary scientists conducted a study with Kanzi, a language-trained bonobo (倭黑猩猩), exploring whether primates (灵长目动物) can fully understand the concept of imaginary objects.
In the experiment, researchers tested Kanzi’s imagination through pretend play. A researcher sat across a table, placing an empty container and a pair of see-through cups on the table between them. The scientist then “poured” imaginary juice into each empty cup before pretending to tip one cup back into the container. Kanzi was then asked to visually locate the remaining juice. The team also recreated this setup by carefully “transferring” pretend grapes between two containers.
Kanzi showed a remarkable capacity to trace the invisible items. He correctly pointed at the cup containing the imaginary liquid in 68% of the trials, and successfully identified the nonexistent fruit in 69% of the grape trials. To rule out that Kanzi was simply confused or failing to perceive reality, researchers ran a control test. Asked to choose between an empty cup used for pretend juice and a glass containing real orange juice, Kanzi routinely chose the real one, proving he engaged in make-believe consciously rather than merely copying human actions.
While originally set up to investigate simple behaviors during structured trials, and conducted against the background that primates lack abstract thought, the study produced findings that go far beyond these initial expectations. “Our evidence shows some primates possess complex cognitive (认知的) processes once thought unique to humans,” said co-author Christopher Krupenye. This breakthrough casts new light on the deep evolutionary origins of human imagination.
Importantly, however, Kanzi spent his entire life interacting with human scientists, acquiring advanced communication skills along the way. It remains unclear whether wild bonobos naturally share this cognitive ability. As psychologist Natalie Awad Schwob noted, “I’d love to see data from more typically raised bonobos to confirm if this imaginative tendency is universal or largely a result of human influence.”
32. What was Kanzi required to do in the experiment in paragraph 2?
A. Mark the location of the cups.
B. Choose between pretend and real juice.
C. Track the movements of imaginary objects.
D. Copy the pouring actions of the researchers.
33. What can we learn about Kanzi from the control test?
A. He purposely mirrored humans. B. He naturally shared the cognitive ability.
C. He distinguished reality from imagination. D. He failed to identify the physical objects.
34. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its background. D. Its significance.
35. What do Natalie Awad Schwob’s words suggest?
A. The need for data review. B. The negative effect of the research.
C. A barrier to potential application. D. A possible direction for further study.

Nowadays, smart devices manage nearly every aspect of home life, from temperature regulation (调控) to security monitoring. A sudden power failure is more than a simple inconvenience. It can shut down your heating, cut off your network, and even leave your security system blind all at once. ____36____
One of the benefits of a portable power station is the comfort it brings when the power fails. Imagine a storm hits, and suddenly, your heater or air conditioning shuts off. With a power station, you can keep essential devices running. ____37____ This makes it quieter, cleaner, easier to maintain, and more suitable for indoor use.
Being able to control appliances via Wi-Fi is one of the hallmarks of modern smart homes. However, if the power goes down, you lose access to that connectivity. Even if the power comes back in a few minutes, some of your appliances may not work properly after a forced restart. ____38____ That way, you won’t lose connectivity during a blackout (停电).
If you’ve invested in solar panels or another renewable energy source, a portable power station can be an excellent way to store energy. When the sun is shining, any extra energy generated by your solar panels can be stored in the portable power station. ____39____
____40____ An entire security system will become blind without stable power. So if you want to make sure your system is fully functional during a blackout, you’d better have a portable power station as backup power.

Retired firefighter John Zeto heard the shots. His 30-year rescue ____43____ told him it was a signal for help. He hiked toward the sound and ____44____ Johnson lying on the ground, confused and weak. Johnson’s condition was ____45____, so Zeto gave him water. “Where’s your ____46____?” Zeto asked. Johnson mumbled (含糊地说) about a lake. Zeto guessed it was about three miles away. “Let’s go!” he said ____47____.
They moved slowly, with Johnson ____48____ heavily on Zeto. Within half an hour, Johnson had finished off all the water. Trembling and mumbling, he ____49____ weaker with each step. Tired as he was, Zeto had to support Johnson’s 220-pound ____50____. But he refused to break down, knowing that would mean ____51____. At one break, Johnson closed his eyes and wouldn’t move. Zeto got in his face: “You got a daughter? Want to see her again? Then pull yourself together!” That ____52____. Zeto knew they must leave the mountain soon. After almost three hours of ____53____ walking, they finally reached the car. Zeto drove him to the nearest town, where Johnson slowly recovered. Though Johnson ____54____ he was well enough to drive, Zeto kept calling by phone to make sure he arrived home safely.
Like a lot of heroes, Zeto ____55____ his role in the rescue. “I was on a hike; this man needed help,” he said, “I got him down the hill.” But Johnson saw things differently, saying, “He definitely saved my life on that mountain.”

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。
Stepping into Senior Three, I was completely surrounded by intense academic pressure. Frequent quizzes, endless review tasks and tight daily schedules filled my life. Witnessing many classmates making steady and obvious progress, I fell into deep anxiety. I burned the midnight oil every day, tried various learning methods, and blindly copied the study routines of top students, longing for immediate improvement. However, my hasty (仓促冒进的) efforts brought no reward. My scores stayed flat, and frequent mistakes made me more restless and discouraged. Gradually, I lost my learning patience and even felt worn out by my seemingly fruitless daily efforts.
After a particularly frustrating quiz, I stared at my unsatisfactory paper for a long time, trapped in negative self-doubt. I had spared no effort to stay up late and squeeze every minute for study, yet the gap between my classmates and me never narrowed. All day long, I had forced myself to rush through tasks mechanically, losing my own thinking rhythm completely. Tired and depressed, I left the empty classroom slowly and wandered aimlessly in the quiet teaching building, feeling confused and hopeless about my tough senior year.
The whole campus was immersed in deep silence, with only dim corridor lights shining softly. When I passed the corridor corner, I unexpectedly saw the school cleaning aunt working alone. Holding her mop tightly, she cleaned the floor earnestly, repeatedly mopping the same area to wipe out every faint stain. She never hurried or complained, focusing entirely on her ordinary and repetitive work.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按照如下格式作答。
Moved by her perseverance, I walked forward and chatted with her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months went by and my steady efforts finally paid off.

【原文】 I expected to see some interesting wildlife when I went on a tour around Lady Elliot Island in Australia. I was ready for almost anything — until a brightly colored “alien” swam just a few meters away!
Once recovered from the shock, I realized it was a blanket octopus (毯子章鱼). It was small, with bright purple, orange, and blue colors. I knew some sea creatures can shine in dark waters, but this one stood out with its bright colors instead.
The tour guide said blanket octopuses are a rare species, named for the thin sheets of skin connecting their arms. Since they have no poison of their own, they take arms from other dangerous sea creatures and use them to hunt for food. That’s surprisingly intelligent!
Blanket octopuses can also learn, remember, and copy behaviors from other octopuses. Female ones even protect their eggs carefully until they come out of their shells. But my favorite fact is that female blanket octopuses can grow up to two meters long, while males are usually no bigger than 2.5 centimeters!

Parcel Locker — The Smarter Way to Receive Parcels
What are parcel lockers?
Parcel lockers, also called smart lockers or package lockers, are secure, automated (自动化的) storage units in centralized locations. They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace.
Why are they not widely used?
Despite all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still tend to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don’t know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it.
Why is EasyLocker different?
EasyLocker is one of the most popular parcel locker services. Here are some of its key advantages.

Zhang Hongjun once spent his days on noisy construction sites in Shanghai, far from his rural hometown in Fujian province. For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city. He dreamed of a change but saw few opportunities back home.
A visit became a turning point. Staying in his village, Zhang noticed something new. The roads were paved, internet access had reached the village and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential to him. An idea began to form: what if he could build a future here, not just make a living there?
Using his savings and a small government allowance, Zhang took a daring step. He transformed his family’s old, empty house into a modern café, a place where city visitors could enjoy coffee while viewing the terraced fields (梯田). At first, neighbors were puzzled. “Who will come to the mountains for coffee?” they asked. Zhang persisted (坚持), learning about coffee beans and coffee-making skills online.
Today, “Mountain Cloud Café” is more than a coffee shop. It’s a window for his village. Tourists come on weekends, and in his café they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with steady income. More importantly, his success has sparked (引发) a conversation. A few other young people, who once thought leaving was the only option, are now asking, “Could I come back too?”
“My dream isn’t huge,” Zhang says, looking at the lively scene outside. “I just want our home to prosper, so that our children love to stay here.” His journey paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life.
24. Which of the following best describes Zhang’s early life as a migrant worker?
A. Simple. B. Secure. C. Unsatisfying. D. Undisturbing.
25. Why did Zhang return and start his Café business?
A. He failed in his job in Shanghai. B. He was in poor health in the city.
C. He was invited by the local government. D. He found new changes and support in his village.
26. What can we learn about Mountain Cloud Café?
A. It helps develop the village. B. It features special coffee beans.
C. It is profitable and custom-made. D. It is popular from beginning to end.
27. What can be the most suitable title for the text?
A. A New Trend of Village Tourism B. The Importance of Local Specialties
C. From Migrant Worker to Café Owner D. Between the city and the village
【答案】24. C 25. D 26. A 27. C
【解析】
【导语】文章讲述张宏军从上海务工的农民工回乡开办山间咖啡馆,带动乡村发展的完整故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“For over a decade, his life followed a common path: long hours of labor, low pay, and the loneliness of being a migrant worker in a vast city.(十多年来,他的人生走的是一条(外来务工群体)常见的道路:长时间的劳作、微薄的收入,以及在一座大城市里作为外来务工人员所经历的孤独)”可知,张宏军作为农民工的生活漫长、收入低、孤独,这体现的是“令人不满意”。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The roads were paved, internet access had reached the village and the local government was offering support to those willing to start businesses. The beautiful mountains and fresh air, once taken for granted, now seemed full of potential to him.(道路已铺设完毕,互联网也已覆盖到村庄,当地政府还为有意创业的人提供支持。那些曾经习以为常的美丽山景和清新空气,如今在他眼中充满了无限潜力)”可知,他回乡发现“道路铺好、网络覆盖、政府支持创业”等新变化,从而萌生开咖啡馆的想法。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It’s a window for his village. Tourists come on weekends, and in his café they discover and buy local specialties like mountain tea and dried fruits. Zhang has hired two local women, providing them with steady income.(这是他村庄的一扇窗口。周末游客纷至沓来,在他的咖啡馆里发现并购买当地特产,如山茶和干果。张雇佣了两名本地女性,为她们提供了稳定的收入)”可知,咖啡馆成为“村庄的窗口”,带动旅游、销售土特产、雇佣当地妇女,并引发年轻人回乡思考,这些都体现了“帮助村庄发展”。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段““My dream isn’t huge,” Zhang says, looking at the lively scene outside. “I just want our home to prosper, so that our children love to stay here.” His journey paints a picture of modern rural China — one where returning wings bring new life.(“我的梦想并不宏大,”张看着外面热闹的景象说道,“我只是希望我们的家兴旺起来,让我们的孩子愿意留在这里。”他的经历描绘出一幅现代中国农村的图景——一个归来的翅膀带来新生的地方)”以及全文围绕张宏军从农民工转变为咖啡馆老板的经历展开,并突出这一转变对乡村的积极影响。C项(从农民工到咖啡馆老板)最符合文章标题。
C
The average smartphone users interact with their device approximately 150 times daily — a frequency amounting to once every six and a half waking minutes. While this figure has become almost commonplace, the neurobiological mechanisms underlying such habitual behavior have only recently attracted serious research attention. Scientists at Stanford University have identified a feedback cycle they term the “dopamine (多巴胺) gap”: the interval between anticipating a notification and its actual delivery. During this period, the brain releases dopamine, generating a mild but powerful craving that encourages repeated checking.
This biological tendency is deliberately exploited by the digital industry. Social media platforms and mobile applications are carefully engineered to leverage this mechanism through features like endless scrolling, unpredictable reward patterns, and push notifications — all intentional design choices aimed at maximizing user engagement and, consequently, advertising income. “These companies are not building tools,” argues Dr. Adam Alter, author of Irresistible. “They are constructing behavior-change systems disguised as everyday utilities.”
The consequences extend well beyond wasted time. A 2025 study published in Psychological Science tracked 2,000 adolescents over five years, finding that each additional hour of daily social media use at age 14 was associated with a 13% increase in anxiety and depression symptoms by age 19. This relationship remained statistically significant even after accounting for family background and prior mental health conditions.
Yet the industry’s response has been criticized as “performative minimalism” — features such as screen-time trackers and focus modes that provide users with an illusion of control while leaving the underlying addictive structure completely unchanged. A person who turns off notifications for a few hours inevitably returns to the same endless feed later. “It’s like putting a bandage on a broken bone,” observes Dr. Anna Lembke, a Stanford psychiatrist. “The essential problem remains unaddressed.”
Some regulators are taking stronger action. The EU’s Digital Services Act, updated in 2025, now requires platforms to make their recommendation algorithms available for independent review. Meanwhile, a growing “digital minimalism” movement advocates for intentional reduction in technology use — not through more apps, but through personal behavioral changes like scheduling phone-free periods.
The solution, it appears, lies not in abandoning technology entirely, but in reclaiming the control that its designers have gradually taken away.
28. What effect does the so-called “dopamine gap” bring about for smartphone users?
A. Fewer smartphone notifications.
B. Slow release of brain neurotransmitters.
C. Frequent checking of their phones.
D. Less interest in real-world interactions.
29. What does the underlined word “leverage” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Employ. B. Control. C. Shape. D. Generate.
30. Why does the author mention “screen-time trackers and focus modes” in Paragraph 4?
A. To praise the industry’s efforts to address phone addiction.
B. To illustrate the EU’s new regulatory requirements for apps.
C. To suggest that users should rely more on built-in phone features.
D. To argue that current solutions fail to solve the underlying problem.
31. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s main argument?
A. Smartphone addiction is a minor issue that can be solved by users’ willpower.
B. Digital tools are designed to capture attention, but users can regain control.
C. Tech companies have deliberately exploited human biology for profit.
D. Technology is inherently harmful and should be used as little as possible.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍多巴胺缺口原理,社交媒体利用该机制吸引用户以及解决手机成瘾的办法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “During this period, the brain releases dopamine, generating a mild but powerful craving that encourages repeated checking.(在这期间,大脑释放多巴胺,产生一种微弱却强烈的渴望,促使人们反复查看手机。)”可知,多巴胺缺口会让使用者频繁查看手机。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的 “Social media platforms and mobile applications are carefully engineered to leverage this mechanism through features like endless scrolling, unpredictable reward patterns, and push notifications.(社交媒体平台和手机应用精心设计,通过无限滚动、随机奖励模式、推送通知等功能来leverage这一机制。)”以及结合语境,平台是利用、运用这个大脑机制,employ意为“运用,使用”。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的 “Yet the industry’s response has been criticized as “performative minimalism” — features such as screen-time trackers and focus modes that provide users with an illusion of control while leaving the underlying addictive structure completely unchanged.(然而行业的应对措施被批评为“表面极简主义”:屏幕使用时长追踪、专注模式这类功能只是给用户一种掌控感,底层的成瘾机制完全没有改变。)”可知,作者提到这些功能是为了说明当下的解决办法无法根除根本问题。故选 D 项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。文章前几段详细分析了数字工具(智能手机、社交媒体等)是如何通过精心设计来利用人类生物学机制吸引注意力的,而在最后一段“The solution, it appears, lies not in abandoning technology entirely, but in reclaiming the control that its designers have gradually taken away.(解决之道似乎不在于完全放弃技术,而在于夺回设计者逐渐夺走的控制权)”点明了文章的核心观点:数字工具被设计用来吸引注意力,但用户可以重新获得控制权。
D
Is the ability to pretend and imagine situations uniquely human? To find out the answer, a team of evolutionary scientists conducted a study with Kanzi, a language-trained bonobo (倭黑猩猩), exploring whether primates (灵长目动物) can fully understand the concept of imaginary objects.
In the experiment, researchers tested Kanzi’s imagination through pretend play. A researcher sat across a table, placing an empty container and a pair of see-through cups on the table between them. The scientist then “poured” imaginary juice into each empty cup before pretending to tip one cup back into the container. Kanzi was then asked to visually locate the remaining juice. The team also recreated this setup by carefully “transferring” pretend grapes between two containers.
Kanzi showed a remarkable capacity to trace the invisible items. He correctly pointed at the cup containing the imaginary liquid in 68% of the trials, and successfully identified the nonexistent fruit in 69% of the grape trials. To rule out that Kanzi was simply confused or failing to perceive reality, researchers ran a control test. Asked to choose between an empty cup used for pretend juice and a glass containing real orange juice, Kanzi routinely chose the real one, proving he engaged in make-believe consciously rather than merely copying human actions.
While originally set up to investigate simple behaviors during structured trials, and conducted against the background that primates lack abstract thought, the study produced findings that go far beyond these initial expectations. “Our evidence shows some primates possess complex cognitive (认知的) processes once thought unique to humans,” said co-author Christopher Krupenye. This breakthrough casts new light on the deep evolutionary origins of human imagination.
Importantly, however, Kanzi spent his entire life interacting with human scientists, acquiring advanced communication skills along the way. It remains unclear whether wild bonobos naturally share this cognitive ability. As psychologist Natalie Awad Schwob noted, “I’d love to see data from more typically raised bonobos to confirm if this imaginative tendency is universal or largely a result of human influence.”
32. What was Kanzi required to do in the experiment in paragraph 2?
A. Mark the location of the cups.
B. Choose between pretend and real juice.
C. Track the movements of imaginary objects.
D. Copy the pouring actions of the researchers.
33. What can we learn about Kanzi from the control test?
A. He purposely mirrored humans. B. He naturally shared the cognitive ability.
C. He distinguished reality from imagination. D. He failed to identify the physical objects.
34. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. Its purpose. B. Its process. C. Its background. D. Its significance.
35. What do Natalie Awad Schwob’s words suggest?
A. The need for data review. B. The negative effect of the research.
C. A barrier to potential application. D. A possible direction for further study.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】文章通过对受过语言训练的倭黑猩猩坎齐开展假想物体相关实验,发现它能够有意识地参与想象游戏,说明部分灵长类拥有曾被视作人类独有的复杂认知能力;但坎齐长期与人类相处,该能力是否为倭黑猩猩天生所有尚不明确,还需要更多研究加以验证。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In the experiment, researchers tested Kanzi’s imagination through pretend play. A researcher sat across a table, placing an empty container and a pair of see-through cups on the table between them. The scientist then ‘poured’ imaginary juice into each empty cup before pretending to tip one cup back into the container. Kanzi was then asked to visually locate the remaining juice. The team also recreated this setup by carefully ‘transferring’ pretend grapes between two containers. (在实验中,研究人员通过假装游戏测试坎齐的想象力。一名研究者坐在桌子对面,在两人中间的桌面上摆放一个空容器和两个透明杯子。随后科学家把假想的果汁‘倒入’每个空杯子,再假装把其中一杯倒回容器。之后要求坎齐指出剩下的果汁在哪里。研究团队还重复该实验流程,在两个容器之间小心地‘转移’假想的葡萄。)”及第三段首句“Kanzi showed a remarkable capacity to trace the invisible items. (坎齐展现出追踪看不见的物品的出色能力。)”可知,研究者模拟倾倒假想果汁、转移假想葡萄的动作后,要求坎齐找出剩下的假想物品,本质是追踪假想物体的移动轨迹。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To rule out that Kanzi was simply confused or failing to perceive reality, researchers ran a control test. Asked to choose between an empty cup used for pretend juice and a glass containing real orange juice, Kanzi routinely chose the real one, proving he engaged in make-believe consciously rather than merely copying human actions. (为排除坎齐只是混淆现实、无法分辨真实情况,研究人员开展了对照测试。面对一只做假想果汁游戏的空杯子和一杯真正的橙汁,坎齐总是选择真正的橙汁。这证明他是有意识参与假想游戏,而不只是单纯模仿人类动作。)”可知,对照组测试里,坎齐总是选择真正的橙汁而非装过假想果汁的空杯子,证明它能分清现实事物和假想游戏,不是单纯机械模仿人类动作。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“While originally set up to investigate simple behaviors during structured trials, and conducted against the background that primates lack abstract thought, the study produced findings that go far beyond these initial expectations. ‘Our evidence shows some primates possess complex cognitive processes once thought unique to humans,’ said co-author Christopher Krupenye. This breakthrough casts new light on the deep evolutionary origins of human imagination. (这项研究原本只是设计用来观察规范实验场景下的简单行为,开展的大背景是普遍认为灵长类缺乏抽象思维,但所得发现远远超出最初预期。该研究的合著者克里斯托弗・克鲁佩尼耶说:‘我们的证据表明,部分灵长类拥有曾被认为专属于人类的复杂认知过程。’这一突破为探究人类想象力深远的进化起源带来新的启发。)”可知,本段指出该研究打破了固有认知,为人类想象力的进化起源提供了新的启发,这都是在阐述研究的价值与意义。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As psychologist Natalie Awad Schwob noted, ‘I’d love to see data from more typically raised bonobos to confirm if this imaginative tendency is universal or largely a result of human influence.’ (正如心理学家娜塔莉・阿瓦德・施沃布所说:‘我希望获取更多普通环境下长大的倭黑猩猩的数据,来确认这种想象倾向是物种普遍存在的,还是很大程度上受人类影响而形成。’)”可知,娜塔莉提出希望获取更多样本的数据去验证结论,这是给科研提出接下来要做的事,也就是进一步研究的方向。

【导语】本文主要介绍了应县木塔的建筑构造、抗震优势、艺术价值与文化意义。
【56题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这座建筑奇迹于辽代1056年完工,高达67.31米,相当于现代20层楼的高度,见证了九个多世纪的历史变迁。句中有谓语rises,________ (complete) in 1056 during the Liao Dynasty作状语,要将动词complete变成非谓语动词;主语this architectural wonder与complete之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,应用过去分词表示被动含义,句首单词首字母需大写。
【57题详解】
考查名词。句意:这座建筑奇迹于辽代1056年完工,高达67.31米,相当于现代20层楼的高度,见证了九个多世纪的历史变迁。空处作介词to的宾语,空格前有不定冠词a,此处需填入单数名词,high的名词为 height。
【58题详解】
考查介词。句意:这座塔的伟大之处在于它全木质的结构,建造时没有使用任何钉子以及螺丝。空后接了名词短语any nails or screws,要填介词;根据“all-wooden construction”可知,该塔没有使用钉子和螺丝,要填表示“没有”的介词without。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:古代工匠巧妙地设计了一套复杂的斗拱互锁系统,能有效吸收和分散地震力。Ancient作定语修饰所填词,要填名词;提示词craftsman是单数可数名词,此处泛指古代的工匠群体,要将它变成复数形式craftsmen。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这一巧妙的设计让该建筑得以经受四十余次大地震的考验,其中包括数次里氏7级以上地震,充分彰显了古代工程智慧的非凡成就。enable sth. to do sth.是固定结构,表示“使某物能够做某事”,要将survive变成动词不定式to survive。
【61题详解】
考查名词。句意:这一巧妙的设计让该建筑得以经受四十余次大地震的考验,其中包括数次里氏7级以上地震,充分彰显了古代工程智慧的非凡成就。所填词作定语修饰名词wisdom,要将engineer变成engineering,构成短语engineering wisdom,表示“工程智慧”。
【62题详解】
考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:塔的每一层都陈列着雕刻精美的梁枋、生动的佛教壁画和精致的雕像,体现了宋代的艺术成就。本句陈述客观事实,所填词作谓语,要用一般现在时;主语Each floor表示单数概念,和提示词display之间是主动关系,要将display变成第三人称单数形式displays。
【63题详解】
考查副词。句意:这座建筑非凡的稳定性很大程度上得益于其灵活的木质榫卯结构。所填词作状语修饰介词短语due to its flexible wooden joints,要将形容词large变成副词largely,意为“在很大程度上”。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这座塔不仅是一件杰作,也是人类创造力和毅力的鲜活证明。所填词修饰单数可数名词masterpiece,要用冠词;由于masterpiece是首次出现的名词且以辅音音素开头,应用不定冠词a。
【65题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这座塔的墙壁里承载的故事将继续激励着一代又一代人,提醒我们人类工艺的持久力量。_______ the pagoda carries within its walls是关系词引导的定语从句修饰先行词The stories;先行词是事物名词,关系词在该从句中作carries的宾语,可以用关系代词that或which。

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。
Stepping into Senior Three, I was completely surrounded by intense academic pressure. Frequent quizzes, endless review tasks and tight daily schedules filled my life. Witnessing many classmates making steady and obvious progress, I fell into deep anxiety. I burned the midnight oil every day, tried various learning methods, and blindly copied the study routines of top students, longing for immediate improvement. However, my hasty (仓促冒进的) efforts brought no reward. My scores stayed flat, and frequent mistakes made me more restless and discouraged. Gradually, I lost my learning patience and even felt worn out by my seemingly fruitless daily efforts.
After a particularly frustrating quiz, I stared at my unsatisfactory paper for a long time, trapped in negative self-doubt. I had spared no effort to stay up late and squeeze every minute for study, yet the gap between my classmates and me never narrowed. All day long, I had forced myself to rush through tasks mechanically, losing my own thinking rhythm completely. Tired and depressed, I left the empty classroom slowly and wandered aimlessly in the quiet teaching building, feeling confused and hopeless about my tough senior year.
The whole campus was immersed in deep silence, with only dim corridor lights shining softly. When I passed the corridor corner, I unexpectedly saw the school cleaning aunt working alone. Holding her mop tightly, she cleaned the floor earnestly, repeatedly mopping the same area to wipe out every faint stain. She never hurried or complained, focusing entirely on her ordinary and repetitive work.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按照如下格式作答。
Moved by her perseverance, I walked forward and chatted with her.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Months went by and my steady efforts finally paid off.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Moved by her perseverance, I walked forward and chatted with her. Sweat dripping down her forehead, she told me that every worthy thing requires steady accumulation and down-to-earth repetition. Her sincere words woke me up instantly. I realized my biggest weakness: I chased instant success but refused to embrace slow, solid self-improvement. With a calmed mind, I returned to the classroom and worked out a practical schedule tailored to myself. In the days that followed, I patiently flipped through my test papers and sorted out my mistakes one by one, no longer longing for sudden, quick gains.
Months went by and my steady efforts finally paid off. My scores climbed step by step. Joy and pride welling up inside me, I was filled with genuine delight. Gone was the restlessness and self-doubt that had haunted me before. I no longer blindly copied the study routines of top students. It dawned on me that there is no shortcut to growth and that only by making consistent and patient efforts can I make real progress. The cleaning aunt’s simple wisdom ended my past fruitless rush, and this precious lesson would light my way ahead.
