After months of writing a book about trainers of wild animals, an idea struck me: my husband was trainable too. Scott was a dear man, well read and adventurous. Yet he lost things — his wallet, his watch — on a daily basis, and left his clothes wherever they fell. Every such incident led to a storm: “Have you seen my keys?” he would shout. And I would drop everything to join him in the hunt, reminding, repeating, raising my voice, with results I prefer not to discuss.
The trainers had taught me their great secret: reward what you want; ignore what you don’t. Dolphins, they said, repeat what earns them a fish. A nagging (唠叨) voice, to a dolphin, is still attention — and attention is a reward. After all, you don’t get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by nagging. The same goes for my American husband. For years I had been rewarding Scott’s mistakes. Had I known this earlier, I would have saved my breath and bought some fish.
So I began. When Scott threw one shirt into the basket, I kissed him. When he lost things again, I said nothing and watered the plants; when his socks lay on the floor, I stepped over them without a sharp word. It felt silly. But it worked wonders.
Within two months, the lost-key storms died away, the clothes piles grew smaller, and our house had never been more peaceful. I felt like the smartest wife in America.
One quiet evening Scott looked up from his newspaper. “You know what?” he said. “You’ve been different lately — in a good way. Haven’t nagged me once.”
I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. He was right. Somewhere between the kisses and the silence, I had changed more than he had.
24.What is the trainers’ “great secret”?
A.Practice nagging as a reward. B.Correct mistakes when necessary.
C.Improve performance with praise. D.Respond only to desired behavior.
25.Why did the author water the plants when Scott lost his keys?
A.To avoid feeding his mistake. B.To cool her rising anger.
C.To get the gardening done. D.To keep away from Scott.
26.What does the last paragraph suggest about the author?
A.Her training ended in failure. B.The trainer also got trained.
C.Scott changed more than her. D.She stopped caring about Scott.
27.Which words best describe the tone of the text?
A.Straightforward and light-hearted. B.Humorous and reflective.
C.Bitter and complaining. D.Serious and lecturing.
C
When Brandon Contino and co-founder Dan Chi were developing Four Growers’ produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year. “We actually started just running everything off a laptop, and I would be there in the row coding, and Chi would be making changes mechanically,” Contino, now CEO, told TechCrunch.
The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses. The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness — which varies depending on a farmer’s needs — by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot’s arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine. The tech currently works with tomatoes and will be commercially available to harvest other crops like cucumbers in the near future.
Having enough labor to harvest crops is crucial because if crops can’t be harvested when they are ready, they rot and result in lost profits for the farm. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a “critical shortage” of workers, and it won’t get better anytime soon.
Contino said they were intentional about focusing on greenhouse farms. Unlike outdoor farms, greenhouses can grow almost all year round, and are more efficient than outside farms. They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to buy tech.
Four Growers now works with five customers, and its robots have picked millions of tomatoes. Contino said that the company is working to expand its technology beyond just harvesting and is looking to expand into outdoor farms in the coming years. “It’s not really a labor replacement. It’s more of an augmentation (增强),” Contino said. “As the labor force shrinks, and there are fewer people willing to do it, it’s putting them to more comfortable positions and allowing one person to be able to do a lot more.”
28.What are the cameras used to do in the greenhouse?
A.Identify crops’ maturity. B.Take pictures for the ripe fruit.
C.Monitor the surroundings. D.Distinguish tomatoes from other plants.
29.Why does the author mention the 2024 labor report in paragraph 3?
A.To express concern about the farm profits.
B.To stress the necessity of harvesting robots.
C.To show the achievements of Four Growers.
D.To call for public support for the farm industry.
30.According to Contino, what makes greenhouse farms a better target for Four Growers?
A.A wider range of crops. B.Greener than outside farms.
C.A greater number of consumers. D.Higher harvesting frequency.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Autonomous Tech is Coming to Farming
B.Seed for a Farm’s Future-Farm Management.
C.Four Growers Robots Help Greenhouse Harvest.
D.Labor Shortages and Farmer Adaptation
D
A coin flip is widely regarded as the ultimate arbiter (仲裁者) of fairness due to its mathematical purity and impartiality. With two sides of equal weight, the odds are always precisely 50-50. This makes it a preferred tool for referees, judges, and officials to make unbiased decisions. However, losing a coin toss can still provoke a strong, illogical feeling of injustice. This contradiction between statistical fairness and emotional perception is what psychologists term the “illusion of unfairness.”
The inspiration for a 2025 study ironically came from a minor office dispute. Two graduate students needed to allocate a single desirable workspace and decided to let a virtual coin flip decide. After losing three consecutive tosses, the student who did not flip the coin — later the study’s lead author, Rémy A.Furrer — felt a lingering sense of unfairness despite knowing the process was random. This personal experience sowed the seed for a profound scientific inquiry: Why do we perceive some objectively fair processes as unfair?
To investigate, researchers returned to the coin flip, a universal and unambiguous method that removes personal bias. The study focused on two key concepts: “procedural control,” meaning involvement in the process like calling the side or flipping the coin, and “outcome control,” the false belief that the result can be influenced. In experiments, parameters were varied arbitrarily (任意地): some participants flipped the coin themselves, others had a partner or an experimenter do it. Crucially, no one could actually manipulate (操纵) the outcome.
The findings were consistent and revealing. Participants consistently rated the coin flip as less fair when someone else controlled the procedure, even before seeing the result. This indicates that the feeling of being excluded from the process itself triggers the illusion of unfairness; an unfavorable outcome merely intensifies it. When we lack a voice or agency in how events unfold, even the fairest system can feel rigged. Our minds often interpret a lack of control as evidence of bias.
This illusion has real consequences. It can foster bitterness, a victim mentality, and the belief that effort is futile — a slippery slope from “that coin flip was unfair” to “life is rigged.” However, the study also offers hope: when participants consciously reflected on the randomness, their sense of unfairness diminished. Ultimately, the illusion underscores our deep need for control. Fairness isn’t about favorable outcomes, but about fair processes. Life’s outcomes are often indifferent; the meaning we owe to them is largely our own construction.
32.What is the primary reason a coin flip is considered a fair decision-making tool?
A.It is quick and convenient to use.
B.It is a traditional method respected by everyone.
C.It is based on mathematical probability with equal odds.
D.It allows people to feel involved in the process.
33.According to the study, what did participants need to feel in order to perceive the process as fairer?
A.They needed to have “procedural control.”
B.They needed to win the final outcome.
C.They needed to understand complex statistics.
D.They needed to trust the person flipping the coin.
34.What does the word “parameters” most likely mean in paragraph 3?
A.Partners or collaborators.
B.Variable conditions or factors in an experiment.
C.Fixed rules that cannot be changed.
D.The final results of a research study.
35.What is the main message conveyed in the final paragraph?
A.We should avoid using coin flips in important decisions.
B.Life is inherently unfair and we are all victims.
C.Only by winning can we overcome the illusion of unfairness.
D.Our feelings of unfairness often come from our own interpretation, not facts.

Tech giants such as Google have long been well-known for employing new college graduates and paying them high salaries of over $100,000 a year. However, a significant shift is occurring in the tech industry. 36 Instead, they prefer to take on workers with rich work experience.
Many young learners have spent years mastering computer skills for tech jobs. 37 Consequently, the traditional career path for young graduates is facing huge challenges.
First of all, statistics show companies that use AI tend to build small, simple teams with fewer junior staff. A study from Harvard Business School finds AI start-ups hire around 15% fewer new workers than traditional tech companies. By contrast, the percentage of senior professionals in these companies is about 20% higher. These seasoned experts are not hired to manage new employees. 38 So the market’s need for skilled engineers has hit a record high in the AI age.
Besides changes in team structure, the latest data shows worrying changes in the age of tech workers. Between 2023 and 2025, the share of 21-to-25-year-old young workers in big private tech firms dropped by half. 39 This change tells us an old story is disappearing: Once young people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg could build great tech businesses without finishing college, but now companies cut entry-level jobs to raise work efficiency.
40 Senior workers have rich experience and sharp judgment that AI cannot copy. But young graduates who only master basic computer skills are easily replaced. If investors keep funding small AI companies that only want experienced staff, young newcomers will struggle to land their first job in tech.
A.The situation is better at big private tech companies.
B.Now AI-focused start-ups rarely hire new graduates.
C.They directly take charge of complicated technical tasks.
D.It confirms that some young talents should not be ignored in the AI era.
E.Yet their knowledge no longer meets the new demands of AI businesses.
F.This employment shift is creating sharply different job prospects for different age groups.
G.Meanwhile, the average age of tech workers rose dramatically, approaching 40 in public tech giants.

In my household, a computer with no internet qualifies as a crisis. I’m an old fossil, 41 with technology. I avoid self-checkouts and online banking, 42 any device that speaks before I do.
For years, my technical support department 43 my adult children. They were efficient, capable but increasingly 44 . I suspected that when they saw my name appear on their phones, they would 45 and whisper, “It’s Dad again with a tech 46 ,” and let the call go unanswered. Eventually, I turned to my grandchildren, who introduced me to AI. Though grateful, I was 47 I would never use it.
But after three computer restarts I needed help. I tried every 48 I knew, even throwing a few angry words at the screen. When that 49 , my granddaughter said, “Try AI. Ask it.”
So I did. From my iPhone, I typed out my problem: the 50 working on my phone and tablet, not on my laptop.

We’re almost there.” Finally, we fixed the problem. But the real surprise was that the machine never once made me feel 53 .
And in that tiny mercy, I glimpsed something larger: growing older often means being 54 , and the generation I once guided now guides me. But somewhere between their world and mine sits a patient digital genie (精灵), ready to explain what a sidebar is — without 55 its eyes, even calling my question “excellent”. I’m learning to embrace the unexpected, even from a machine.

For Chinese people, dining is not only about food but also about connection. That is where the round table comes in. Imagine dining with family or friends around a round table, 56 people share warm moments of closeness. Such tables are common in Chinese restaurants, yet their history reflects a gradual cultural transformation. Despite our familiarity 57 them, round tables were not widely used for dining until the Qing dynasty.
In the Ming dynasty, people 58 (dine) at square tables, seated according to social positions. By contrast, the rise of round tables reshaped social practices. Their round form is believed to promote 59 (equal), reducing distinctions among diners. This symbolic meaning, 60 (root) in philosophical ideas about harmony and social change, made the round table more than just a 61 (function) object.
Practicality also contributed to their spread. Round tables are easy 62 (move), with parts that can be folded, 63 (allow) flexible use in homes, courtyards, and even outdoor spaces. Their widespread use, which is not only culturally significant but also closely tied to everyday needs, shows how a simple design works.
The round table is associated with tuanyuan, meaning reunion and completeness, especially during festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival. While this association reflects deep cultural values connecting family unity with symbolic forms like 64 full moon and shared meals, it also highlights the role of everyday objects in shaping social relationships 65 reveals their long-term influence.

The small neighborhood bookstore had stood quietly on a corner of the community for decades. With weathered wooden shelves, faint ink fragrance and soft warm lights, it was far more than a common commercial shop. It served as a warm spiritual shelter for local residents all year round. The elderly often spent their spare afternoons reading quietly here, while teenagers liked to stay for a while to relax themselves in a sea of books after tiring school days.
Nevertheless, in recent years, the booming online book business and constantly soaring community rent have put the small bookstore in an extremely tough position. The owner Mr. Lee worked hard every day but could hardly cover his basic costs. After struggling in vain for a long time and seeing no way out, he finally made the tough decision to close the beloved bookstore at the end of the month.
The disappointing news quickly spread through the neighborhood, leaving all residents filled with endless regret and sadness. No one was willing to see this warm place that carried countless community memories vanish overnight. Lila, a local high school student who had grown up frequenting the bookstore, was extremely upset. Counting the sweet childhood memories and quiet reading moments she had here, she couldn’t bear to witness the bookstore’s disappearance. Determined to do something to change the situation, she came up with a practical idea. She turned to her school teachers and classmates for help, sincerely telling them the bookstore’s touching story and awkward dilemma. Moved by her sincerity, many warm-hearted students volunteered to lend a hand. They carefully designed delicate posters, wrote touching publicity articles and prepared a book charity sale to draw wider public attention.
Word of the students’ kind efforts soon got around, and their youthful efforts quietly warmed the whole community, many signing up for the upcoming rescue campaign.

We did the long jump and hand stands. But IT was, when I tried to do a forward role, that disaster struck. Somehow I twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly, and the teachers were very concerned, and ambuLance was called, and I was taken to hospital. The doctors fitted me with a color, and I was told to avoid exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf foot home. I wasn't interested in love stories. I avoided those, but crime and adventure did appeal to me. During those eight weeks, I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my colour was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks.

B
After months of writing a book about trainers of wild animals, an idea struck me: my husband was trainable too. Scott was a dear man, well read and adventurous. Yet he lost things — his wallet, his watch — on a daily basis, and left his clothes wherever they fell. Every such incident led to a storm: “Have you seen my keys?” he would shout. And I would drop everything to join him in the hunt, reminding, repeating, raising my voice, with results I prefer not to discuss.
The trainers had taught me their great secret: reward what you want; ignore what you don’t. Dolphins, they said, repeat what earns them a fish. A nagging (唠叨) voice, to a dolphin, is still attention — and attention is a reward. After all, you don’t get a sea lion to balance a ball on the end of its nose by nagging. The same goes for my American husband. For years I had been rewarding Scott’s mistakes. Had I known this earlier, I would have saved my breath and bought some fish.
So I began. When Scott threw one shirt into the basket, I kissed him. When he lost things again, I said nothing and watered the plants; when his socks lay on the floor, I stepped over them without a sharp word. It felt silly. But it worked wonders.
Within two months, the lost-key storms died away, the clothes piles grew smaller, and our house had never been more peaceful. I felt like the smartest wife in America.
One quiet evening Scott looked up from his newspaper. “You know what?” he said. “You’ve been different lately — in a good way. Haven’t nagged me once.”
I opened my mouth. Nothing came out. He was right. Somewhere between the kisses and the silence, I had changed more than he had.
24.What is the trainers’ “great secret”?
A.Practice nagging as a reward. B.Correct mistakes when necessary.
C.Improve performance with praise. D.Respond only to desired behavior.
25.Why did the author water the plants when Scott lost his keys?
A.To avoid feeding his mistake. B.To cool her rising anger.
C.To get the gardening done. D.To keep away from Scott.
26.What does the last paragraph suggest about the author?
A.Her training ended in failure. B.The trainer also got trained.
C.Scott changed more than her. D.She stopped caring about Scott.
27.Which words best describe the tone of the text?
A.Straightforward and light-hearted. B.Humorous and reflective.
C.Bitter and complaining. D.Serious and lecturing.
【答案】24.D 25.A 26.B 27.B
【导语】文章主要介绍作者从野生动物训练师那里学到了“奖励想要的行为,忽略不想要的行为”的秘诀,并将其应用在丈夫Scott身上,最终取得了意想不到的效果,同时作者也在这个过程中发生了改变。
【详解】24.细节理解题。根据第二段“The trainers had taught me their great secret: reward what you want; ignore what you don't. (训练师教给我他们的伟大秘诀:奖励你想要的行为;忽略你不想要的行为。) ”可知,训练师的“伟大秘诀”是只对期望的行为做出回应。
25.推理判断题。根据第三段“When he lost things again, I said nothing and watered the plants (当他又丢了东西时,我什么也没说,只是浇花) ”以及第二段“reward what you want; ignore what you don't (奖励你想要的行为;忽略你不想要的行为)”可知,作者不再唠叨、不再回应Scott丢东西的行为,是为了不再强化(奖励)他的错误行为。
26.推理判断题。根据最后一段“He was right. Somewhere between the kisses and the silence, I had changed more than he had. (他说得对。在亲吻与沉默之间,我比他改变得更多。) ”可知,作者在训练丈夫的过程中,自己也发生了改变,即训练者本身也被“训练”了。
27.推理判断题。通读全文,作者以幽默诙谐的笔调讲述了自己“训练”丈夫的经历,如“Had I known this earlier, I would have saved my breath and bought some fish. (如果我早知道这一点,我就会省点力气去买些鱼了。)”体现了幽默感;而结尾“I had changed more than he had(我比他改变得更多)”则体现了作者的反思。因此文章语调是幽默且富有反思的。
C
When Brandon Contino and co-founder Dan Chi were developing Four Growers’ produce-harvesting robots, they practically lived in a greenhouse for an entire year. “We actually started just running everything off a laptop, and I would be there in the row coding, and Chi would be making changes mechanically,” Contino, now CEO, told TechCrunch.
The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses. The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness — which varies depending on a farmer’s needs — by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot’s arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine. The tech currently works with tomatoes and will be commercially available to harvest other crops like cucumbers in the near future.
Having enough labor to harvest crops is crucial because if crops can’t be harvested when they are ready, they rot and result in lost profits for the farm. The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a “critical shortage” of workers, and it won’t get better anytime soon.
Contino said they were intentional about focusing on greenhouse farms. Unlike outdoor farms, greenhouses can grow almost all year round, and are more efficient than outside farms. They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to buy tech.
Four Growers now works with five customers, and its robots have picked millions of tomatoes. Contino said that the company is working to expand its technology beyond just harvesting and is looking to expand into outdoor farms in the coming years. “It’s not really a labor replacement. It’s more of an augmentation (增强),” Contino said. “As the labor force shrinks, and there are fewer people willing to do it, it’s putting them to more comfortable positions and allowing one person to be able to do a lot more.”
28.What are the cameras used to do in the greenhouse?
A.Identify crops’ maturity. B.Take pictures for the ripe fruit.
C.Monitor the surroundings. D.Distinguish tomatoes from other plants.
29.Why does the author mention the 2024 labor report in paragraph 3?
A.To express concern about the farm profits.
B.To stress the necessity of harvesting robots.
C.To show the achievements of Four Growers.
D.To call for public support for the farm industry.
30.According to Contino, what makes greenhouse farms a better target for Four Growers?
A.A wider range of crops. B.Greener than outside farms.
C.A greater number of consumers. D.Higher harvesting frequency.
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Autonomous Tech is Coming to Farming
B.Seed for a Farm’s Future-Farm Management.
C.Four Growers Robots Help Greenhouse Harvest.
D.Labor Shortages and Farmer Adaptation
【答案】28.A 29.B 30.D 31.C
【导语】文章介绍Four Growers研发温室自主采摘机器人,该设备可缓解农业劳动力短缺,公司计划拓展适用作物并向露天农场发展。
【详解】28.细节理解题。根据第二段“The robots are programmed to identify produce at the right level of ripeness — which varies depending on a farmer’s needs — by using multiple stereo cameras to see the crops and help operate the robot’s arms to avoid nonripe fruit on the vine.(这些机器人经过编程,通过多个立体摄像头观察作物,判断农产品的成熟度,成熟标准根据农户需求有所不同,帮助操控机械臂避开藤蔓上未成熟的果实。)”可知,摄像头被用来识别作物的成熟程度。
29.推理判断题。根据第三段“The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture’s 2024 labor report said the industry is facing a “critical shortage” of workers, and it won’t get better anytime soon.(美国全国州农业部门协会2024年劳动力报告称,该行业正面临“严重的”劳动力短缺问题,且短期内不会好转。)”可知,农业劳动力严重短缺,以此强调采摘机器人的必要性。
30.细节理解题。根据第四段“They also harvest on a much more frequent schedule than outdoor farms, which makes them a good candidate to buy tech.(温室农场的采摘频次远高于露天农场,这让它们成为这项技术的理想采购方。)”可知,温室农场采摘频率更高,因此成为Four Growers的优选目标。
31.主旨大意题。通读全文特别是根据第二段“The result was Four Growers, which builds robots designed to autonomously harvest plants in greenhouses.(最终Four Growers公司诞生,该公司制造用于温室自主采摘作物的机器人。)”可知,文章主要介绍Four Growers研发的机器人帮助温室完成作物采摘。所以C项“Four Growers Robots Help Greenhouse Harvest.(Four Growers机器人帮助温室采摘。)”符合语境。
D
A coin flip is widely regarded as the ultimate arbiter (仲裁者) of fairness due to its mathematical purity and impartiality. With two sides of equal weight, the odds are always precisely 50-50. This makes it a preferred tool for referees, judges, and officials to make unbiased decisions. However, losing a coin toss can still provoke a strong, illogical feeling of injustice. This contradiction between statistical fairness and emotional perception is what psychologists term the “illusion of unfairness.”
The inspiration for a 2025 study ironically came from a minor office dispute. Two graduate students needed to allocate a single desirable workspace and decided to let a virtual coin flip decide. After losing three consecutive tosses, the student who did not flip the coin — later the study’s lead author, Rémy A.Furrer — felt a lingering sense of unfairness despite knowing the process was random. This personal experience sowed the seed for a profound scientific inquiry: Why do we perceive some objectively fair processes as unfair?
To investigate, researchers returned to the coin flip, a universal and unambiguous method that removes personal bias. The study focused on two key concepts: “procedural control,” meaning involvement in the process like calling the side or flipping the coin, and “outcome control,” the false belief that the result can be influenced. In experiments, parameters were varied arbitrarily (任意地): some participants flipped the coin themselves, others had a partner or an experimenter do it. Crucially, no one could actually manipulate (操纵) the outcome.
The findings were consistent and revealing. Participants consistently rated the coin flip as less fair when someone else controlled the procedure, even before seeing the result. This indicates that the feeling of being excluded from the process itself triggers the illusion of unfairness; an unfavorable outcome merely intensifies it. When we lack a voice or agency in how events unfold, even the fairest system can feel rigged. Our minds often interpret a lack of control as evidence of bias.
This illusion has real consequences. It can foster bitterness, a victim mentality, and the belief that effort is futile — a slippery slope from “that coin flip was unfair” to “life is rigged.” However, the study also offers hope: when participants consciously reflected on the randomness, their sense of unfairness diminished. Ultimately, the illusion underscores our deep need for control. Fairness isn’t about favorable outcomes, but about fair processes. Life’s outcomes are often indifferent; the meaning we owe to them is largely our own construction.
32.What is the primary reason a coin flip is considered a fair decision-making tool?
A.It is quick and convenient to use.
B.It is a traditional method respected by everyone.
C.It is based on mathematical probability with equal odds.
D.It allows people to feel involved in the process.
33.According to the study, what did participants need to feel in order to perceive the process as fairer?
A.They needed to have “procedural control.”
B.They needed to win the final outcome.
C.They needed to understand complex statistics.
D.They needed to trust the person flipping the coin.
34.What does the word “parameters” most likely mean in paragraph 3?
A.Partners or collaborators.
B.Variable conditions or factors in an experiment.
C.Fixed rules that cannot be changed.
D.The final results of a research study.
35.What is the main message conveyed in the final paragraph?
A.We should avoid using coin flips in important decisions.
B.Life is inherently unfair and we are all victims.
C.Only by winning can we overcome the illusion of unfairness.
D.Our feelings of unfairness often come from our own interpretation, not facts.
【答案】32.C 33.A 34.B 35.D
【导语】文章主要介绍抛硬币虽客观公平,但人们会产生不公平错觉及其背后原因。
【详解】32.细节理解题。根据第一段中的 “A coin flip is widely regarded as the ultimate arbiter (仲裁者) of fairness due to its mathematical purity and impartiality. With two sides of equal weight, the odds are always precisely 50-50.(抛硬币被广泛认为是公平的最终仲裁者,因为它在数学层面纯粹且不偏不倚。硬币两面重量相等,概率永远恰好是50比50。)” 可知,抛硬币被看作公平决策工具,主要原因是基于数学概率,正反面机会均等。
33.细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “The study focused on two key concepts: “procedural control,” meaning involvement in the process like calling the side or flipping the coin, and “outcome control,” the false belief that the result can be influenced.(该研究聚焦两个核心概念:“程序控制权”,指参与过程,比如猜正反面或抛硬币;以及“结果控制权”,即认为可以影响结果的错误想法。)”以及第四段中的 “Participants consistently rated the coin flip as less fair when someone else controlled the procedure, even before seeing the result.(当由别人掌控流程时,受试者一直认为抛硬币公平性更低,甚至在看到结果之前就是如此。)” 可知,受试者拥有程序控制权时,会觉得这个过程更公平。
34.词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“In experiments, parameters were varied arbitrarily (任意地): some participants flipped the coin themselves, others had a partner or an experimenter do it.(在实验中,parameters被任意改变:一部分受试者自己抛硬币,另一部分由同伴或实验人员抛硬币。)”可知,冒号后介绍实验里改变的不同条件,由此推断parameters指实验中的可变条件或因素。
35.主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“This illusion has real consequences. It can foster bitterness, a victim mentality, and the belief that effort is futile — a slippery slope from “that coin flip was unfair” to “life is rigged.” However, the study also offers hope: when participants consciously reflected on the randomness, their sense of unfairness diminished. Ultimately, the illusion underscores our deep need for control. Fairness isn’t about favorable outcomes, but about fair processes. Life’s outcomes are often indifferent; the meaning we owe to them is largely our own construction.(这种错觉会带来实实在在的后果。它会滋生怨怼、受害者心态,还让人相信努力是徒劳的 —— 从“那次抛硬币不公平”逐步滑向“人生本就被暗中操控”,这是一个危险的滑坡。不过,这项研究也带来了希望:当受试者有意识地去思考随机性时,他们的不公感就会减弱。归根结底,这种错觉凸显我们对掌控感的深层需求。公平不在于有利结果,而在于公平的过程。人生的结果往往是中性的;我们赋予这些结果的意义,很大程度上是我们自己构建的。)” 可知,不公平感往往来自我们自身的解读,而不是客观事实。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Tech giants such as Google have long been well-known for employing new college graduates and paying them high salaries of over $100,000 a year. However, a significant shift is occurring in the tech industry. 36 Instead, they prefer to take on workers with rich work experience.
Many young learners have spent years mastering computer skills for tech jobs. 37 Consequently, the traditional career path for young graduates is facing huge challenges.
First of all, statistics show companies that use AI tend to build small, simple teams with fewer junior staff. A study from Harvard Business School finds AI start-ups hire around 15% fewer new workers than traditional tech companies. By contrast, the percentage of senior professionals in these companies is about 20% higher. These seasoned experts are not hired to manage new employees. 38 So the market’s need for skilled engineers has hit a record high in the AI age.
Besides changes in team structure, the latest data shows worrying changes in the age of tech workers. Between 2023 and 2025, the share of 21-to-25-year-old young workers in big private tech firms dropped by half. 39 This change tells us an old story is disappearing: Once young people like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg could build great tech businesses without finishing college, but now companies cut entry-level jobs to raise work efficiency.
40 Senior workers have rich experience and sharp judgment that AI cannot copy. But young graduates who only master basic computer skills are easily replaced. If investors keep funding small AI companies that only want experienced staff, young newcomers will struggle to land their first job in tech.
A.The situation is better at big private tech companies.
B.Now AI-focused start-ups rarely hire new graduates.
C.They directly take charge of complicated technical tasks.
D.It confirms that some young talents should not be ignored in the AI era.
E.Yet their knowledge no longer meets the new demands of AI businesses.
F.This employment shift is creating sharply different job prospects for different age groups.
G.Meanwhile, the average age of tech workers rose dramatically, approaching 40 in public tech giants.

Eventually, I turned to my grandchildren, who introduced me to AI. Though grateful, I was 47 I would never use it.
But after three computer restarts I needed help. I tried every 48 I knew, even throwing a few angry words at the screen. When that 49 , my granddaughter said, “Try AI. Ask it.”
So I did. From my iPhone, I typed out my problem: the 50 working on my phone and tablet, not on my laptop.

We’re almost there.” Finally, we fixed the problem. But the real surprise was that the machine never once made me feel 53 .
And in that tiny mercy, I glimpsed something larger: growing older often means being 54 , and the generation I once guided now guides me. But somewhere between their world and mine sits a patient digital genie (精灵), ready to explain what a sidebar is — without 55 its eyes, even calling my question “excellent”. I’m learning to embrace the unexpected, even from a machine.

Such tables are common in Chinese restaurants, yet their history reflects a gradual cultural transformation. Despite our familiarity 57 them, round tables were not widely used for dining until the Qing dynasty.
In the Ming dynasty, people 58 (dine) at square tables, seated according to social positions. By contrast, the rise of round tables reshaped social practices. Their round form is believed to promote 59 (equal), reducing distinctions among diners. This symbolic meaning, 60 (root) in philosophical ideas about harmony and social change, made the round table more than just a 61 (function) object.
Practicality also contributed to their spread. Round tables are easy 62 (move), with parts that can be folded, 63 (allow) flexible use in homes, courtyards, and even outdoor spaces. Their widespread use, which is not only culturally significant but also closely tied to everyday needs, shows how a simple design works.
The round table is associated with tuanyuan, meaning reunion and completeness, especially during festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival. While this association reflects deep cultural values connecting family unity with symbolic forms like 64 full moon and shared meals, it also highlights the role of everyday objects in shaping social relationships 65 reveals their long-term influence.

【答案】【参考范文1】
Will AI Replace Human Actors?
When it comes to whether AI will replace human actors, I firmly believe that AI actors cannot take the place of the human ones. My reasons are as follows.
First and foremost, what truly moves an audience is genuine emotion. An AI model may imitate facial expressions and movements almost perfectly, but what it produces can hardly convey real inner feelings. Moreover, great acting grows out of live interaction: actors play off each other on set, and the most memorable scenes frequently come from spontaneous moments.
In conclusion, AI may be a useful tool, but the soul of a performance must stay human.
【参考范文2】
Will AI Replace Human Actors?
With the rapid development of digital technology, AI actors have already appeared on screen, and I hold the view that they can partly replace human actors.
Firstly, AI enjoys overwhelming practical advantages. It never falls ill and never gets tired, so a film can be produced in weeks rather than months. It can also perform the most dangerous scenes without risking anyone’s life. What’s more, AI is entirely controllable. Its appearance can be shaped to match a director’s vision, and any scene that falls short can be redone with a single command. For producers, this means lower cost and greater efficiency. However, AI still has its limits. It lacks genuine emotional experience. And a human actor’s personal charm is something AI simply cannot offer.
Therefore, AI can replace human actors to some extent, but not completely.

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。
The small neighborhood bookstore had stood quietly on a corner of the community for decades. With weathered wooden shelves, faint ink fragrance and soft warm lights, it was far more than a common commercial shop. It served as a warm spiritual shelter for local residents all year round. The elderly often spent their spare afternoons reading quietly here, while teenagers liked to stay for a while to relax themselves in a sea of books after tiring school days.
Nevertheless, in recent years, the booming online book business and constantly soaring community rent have put the small bookstore in an extremely tough position. The owner Mr. Lee worked hard every day but could hardly cover his basic costs. After struggling in vain for a long time and seeing no way out, he finally made the tough decision to close the beloved bookstore at the end of the month.
The disappointing news quickly spread through the neighborhood, leaving all residents filled with endless regret and sadness. No one was willing to see this warm place that carried countless community memories vanish overnight. Lila, a local high school student who had grown up frequenting the bookstore, was extremely upset.
