How to ‘Shift’ Big Feelings
Emotions are an essential part of what makes us human. The current wisdom in therapy (心理治疗) and on social media is that we should face negative emotions head on—and that if we don’t, they will go bad inside of us. There’s no doubt that ___1___ (cope) with stressful situations through long-term avoidance is harmful and can lead to more psychological distress, but not all avoidance is bad. Since the 1980s, avoidance ___2___ (see) as a sign of weakness, yet the evidence tells a more complex story.
Sometimes, it’s best not to choose between approaching or avoiding, but to shift between the two intentionally. Avoidance can allow the intensity or a negative experience ___3___ (decrease). It can also provide distance ___4___ helps us see the experience from a broader perspective.
How can you figure out whether to avoid or to face up to your feelings? Dr. Kross, an emotion researcher, suggested asking yourself, “Is ___5___ I’m doing making me feel better about the problem in front of me? Is this issue still a concern ___6___ I take some time away from it?”
If you find that shifting your focus brings you relief and your concerns don’t resurface down the road, that counts as working. You might say something regrettable at a party, for instance, but instead of worrying about it, you distract yourself by watching funny videos that night, ___7___ (leave) the awkward moment to fade on its own.
When we use the word “you,” it is almost only to refer to other people, Dr. Kross said. But when you use it on yourself, it’s a strategy ___8___ (know) as distanced self-talk, which can be a powerful way to regulate negative emotions. So instead of saying “I am stressed out, which may cause your heart to race, tell yourself “___9___ are stressed out.” This can cast you into the role of “someone else,” and ____10____ help you feel more sympathy and understand others’ feelings.
Section B ( (1’X 1 0 = 10’)
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

On Saturday mornings, while his classmates are still asleep, seventeen-year-old Li Wei rides across town to a small animal centre behind a row of old flats. Most of the animals here, ____11____ by owners who simply moved away, arrive thin and frightened. The centre, run entirely by teenagers, has been ____12____ them since 2009 — cats, dogs, rabbits and once even a parrot.
Volunteers spend hours cleaning cages and washing blankets, and they will not ____13____ an animal back onto the street until it can look after itself. For months, though, the teenagers found it hard to ____14____ with two local veterinary clinics whose doctors were always in a hurry. What brings Li Wei back week after week is not the routine but the fact that an animal and the person who feeds it ____15____ trust.
The volunteers, convinced that such small changes ____16____, keep coming back in the coldest weeks of winter. A ten-year study found that volunteers fully ____17____ to a cause report far higher levels of happiness than those who help only once, and the reason may be physical: steady contact with another living creature can be ____18____ to a teenager’s well-being.
Each animal here was once the ____19____ of a cruelty that nobody in the neighborhood ever reported. The building itself is old, badly lit and hardly ____20____ appealing, yet looking after even one of them teaches the teenagers something no classroom can. “The animals give me more than I give them,” Li Wei says. “They make me feel that I can make a difference.”

Fear is a natural and valuable emotion. It has great survival value for human beings, ____21____ us to fight for survival or run away quickly from a threat. But too much fear in the form of chronic (慢性的) anxiety is incredibly ____22____ and weakening.
Anxiety is prolonged fear that persists in the ____23____ of a real threat: after a threat is over, during situations that aren’t actually very dangerous, or before a/an ____24____ threat in the future. When anxiety becomes chronic and ____25____ your life, it transforms into an anxiety disorder. Research consistently shows that cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) is the most ____26____ anxiety treatment. It works better than drugs, psychoanalysis, and all the other ways we have tried to treat ____27____ over the years.
Broadly speaking, two CBT approaches for treating anxiety have ____28____: coping and exposure. Coping is changing how you think, evaluating threats more accurately, and building confidence in your ability to ____29____ a threat so that you are gradually less afraid. Exposure is ____30____ experiencing what you are afraid of. In other words, you intentionally put yourself in the feared situation, proving your terrible predictions of disaster to be false, until your fear naturally dies down.

Section B (2’X7=14’)
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
We often picture today’s teens as social-media addicts. They stare at their phones 24/7 and lash out when they can’t have their WeChat fix. But the truth is more complicated: While they depend on social media to keep up with friends, it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure, and they know it.
When I spoke to four students at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., as part of my nation-wide teen listening tour, they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media, how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout.
While teens generally acknowledge that social media helps them keep up with their friends, around 45% of them say they feel troubled by the drama they often encounter, according to Pew Research Center. Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes.
Many teens even take voluntary breaks from social media, according to a study conducted by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago. It found that 60% who have taken breaks have taken three or more, and 23% of teens who haven’t taken a break from social media have wanted to take one. About half of teens say their social-media breaks are typically a week or longer.
The Sherman Oaks teens I spoke with say they too have taken breaks to avoid burnout. They all have friends who don’t even bother with social media, and they say they admire it. Still, the fear of missing out usually draws them back. Or, as one of the four students told me, “It kind of gets a little lonely after a while.”
36. The expression “lash out” (paragraph 1) can be best replaced by ________.
A. take on B. break away C. pass off D. blow up
37. It is indicated in the passage that ________ is some teens’ intentional action on social media.
A. selecting what to post B. letting others handle their posts
C. showing their displeasure D. quitting to keep from feeling hurt
38. According to the passage, some teens take breaks from social media to ________.
A. gather more materials for online drama
B. escape the pressure of making comments
C. avoid feeling left out by their peers
D. relieve exhaustion from being disturbed
39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The downside of social media: Why teens get addicted
B. The social media: More connectivity than isolation among teens
C. The unseen consequences of social media: A teenage perspective
D. The influence of social media: A comprehensive teenage analysis
(B)

Section C (2’X4=8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The Benefits of Talking to Your Dog
It’s common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day — about what each other is doing or how cute or playful the pup is. It’s a gentle reminder of what’s meaningful. “When you talk to your dog, you get a sense that this is why you’re here — no matter what happens at work or with your finances, your dog still loves you and needs you, and that gives you a sense of purpose,” says Larry Young, an expert on social bonding at Emory University.
____43____ In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends.
The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln. ____44____ Even so, there’s value in simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense.
Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you, which could keep you thinking about it. ____45____ “Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.”
Further support for this phenomenon comes from a 2022 study. It was found that by engaging in micro-breaks to pet their pup, the people are able to relax and recover — in ways that interacting with unfurry family members doesn’t.
____46____ “They can sense when we’re upset — and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路).
A. A dog won’t try to fix the problem the way some people do.
B. Dogs are not just pets but beloved members of a family.
C. Dogs are fantastic at reading us.
D. Reading and understanding the needs of pets helps improve our overall emotional well-being.
E. Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial.
F. They’re more likely to distract you.
III. Summary Writing (3’)
47. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 25 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Our long-held belief that recycling is the best way to deal with waste turns out to be misleading. New research reveals that recycling education has misled the public. For example, nearly half of those surveyed could not rank “reduce, reuse, recycle” correctly, so many still think recycling comes first. Rules don’t work well, either. Confusing rules like “chasing arrows” often strengthen public misunderstanding, because the symbol makes consumers believe all plastic can be recycled.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了如何在接近与回避负面情绪之间有意识地“转移”,并引用了情绪研究者Kross博士的建议,以及一种被称为“分隔式自我对话”的情绪调节策略。
【1题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:毫无疑问,通过长期回避来应对压力情境是有害的,并且会导致更多的心理痛苦,但并非所有的回避都是不好的。空格处所在的宾语从句缺少主语,动词原形不能作主语,cope需变为动名词形式。
【2题详解】
考查动词时态与语态。句意:自20世纪80年代以来,回避一直被视为软弱的标志,然而证据讲述了一个更复杂的故事。根据时间状语Since the 1980s可知,此处需用现在完成时;主语avoidance与see之间为被动关系,故用现在完成时的被动语态;主语avoidance不可数,助动词用has。
【3题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:回避可以让一段负面经历的强度降低。固定搭配allow sth. to do sth.意为“让某物/某事做……”,此处用不定式作宾补。
【4题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它(回避)也可以提供距离感,这种距离感帮助我们从更广阔的视角来看待这段经历。空格处引导定语从句,先行词为distance(指物),关系词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词that或which。
【5题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:我正在做的事情是否让我对面前的这个问题感觉好一点?空格处引导主语从句,在从句中作doing的宾语,意为“……的事情/东西”,故用连接代词what。
【6题详解】
考查时间/条件状语从句。句意:在我暂时放下它之后/当(如果)我暂时放下它,这个问题还会是一个令人担忧的事吗?空格处引导时间状语从句,表示“在……之后”或“当……”,即先暂时/当不去管这个问题,之后再看它是否仍然令人担忧,用after或when引导从句;或理解为“如果暂时放下它”,用if引导条件状语从句。
【7题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,你可能在派对上说了一些令人后悔的话,但你不必为此担心,而是在当晚看搞笑视频来分散自己的注意力,让这个尴尬的时刻自行消退。句子已有谓语动词distract,空格处需用非谓语动词;主语you与leave之间为主动关系,用现在分词作伴随状语。
【8题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:但是当你对自己使用它(“你”这个词)时,这是一种被称为“分隔式自我对话”的策略,它可以是一种调节负面情绪的有力方式。主句已有谓语动词is,空处应用非谓语动词,名词strategy与know之间为被动关系,故用过去分词作后置定语。
【9题详解】
考查代词。句意:所以,不要说“我压力很大”(这可能会让你的心跳加速),而是告诉自己“你压力很大”。根据前文提到的distanced self-talk(分隔式自我对话),对自己说话时应使用第二人称代词you代替第一人称I。
【10题详解】
考查情态动词。句意:这可以把你带入“他人”的角色中,并且可能帮助你感受到更多的同情并理解他人的感受。空后是动词原形,表示不太确定的推测,用情态动词may,表示“可能”。
Section B ( (1’X 1 0 = 10’)
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. abandoned B. committed C. matter D. crucial E. mutually
F. release G. sheltering H. cooperate I. victim J. visually K. overflowing

15. E 16. C
17. B 18. D
19. I 20. J
【解析】
【导语】文章主要讲述了一群青少年自发运营小动物救助中心、照料被遗弃动物的故事,展现了人与动物之间建立的信任以及志愿经历对青少年成长的积极影响。
【11题详解】
考查过去分词。句意:这里的大多数动物,是被仅仅搬走了的主人遗弃的,到达时又瘦又害怕。空格处在两个逗号之间,作后置定语修饰animals,结合下文who simply moved away可知,这些动物是被抛弃的,animals与abandon之间为被动关系,故用过去分词abandoned。
【12题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:这个完全由青少年运营的中心,自2009年以来一直在收容它们——猫、狗、兔子,甚至还有一只鹦鹉。根据时间状语since 2009和has been可知,此处为现在完成进行时has been doing;根据第一段中a small animal centre可知,此处指收容小动物,shelter意为“收容、庇护”,此处用其现在分词sheltering。
【13题详解】
考查动词。句意:志愿者们花数小时清理笼子和清洗毯子,并且他们不会把一只动物放回到街上,直到它能照顾自己。will not后接动词原形;根据下文until it can look after itself可知,此处指动物不能照顾自己之前都不会放回到街上,release“释放”符合题意,release sth. back onto the street意为“把某物放回到街上”。
【14题详解】
考查动词。句意:然而,几个月来,这些青少年发现很难与两家当地兽医诊所合作,那里的医生总是很匆忙。found it hard to后接动词原形,结合下文with two local veterinary clinics可知,此处指与兽医诊所合作,cooperate“合作”符合题意。
【15题详解】
考查副词。句意:让李伟(音译)每周都回来的不是例行公事,而是这样一个事实:一只动物和喂养它的人相互信任。空格处修饰动词trust,需用副词;mutually trust意为“相互信任”,指人与动物之间彼此建立信任,呼应上文an animal and the person who feeds it的双向关系。
【16题详解】
考查动词。句意:志愿者们相信这样微小的改变是重要的,所以即使在冬天最寒冷的几周里也坚持回来。空格处在that宾语从句中作谓语,结合keep coming back in the coldest weeks of winter推测,志愿者们认为微小的改变也很重要,matter“要紧、有重要影响”符合题意,主语是复数,谓语动词用原形。
【17题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一项为期十年的研究发现,全身心投入一项事业的志愿者比那些只帮助一次的志愿者报告了更高的幸福感,原因可能在于生理层面:与另一个生物的稳定接触对青少年的福祉可能至关重要。空格处修饰volunteers,呼应下文those who help only once,此处指全身心投入一项事业的人,be committed to sth.为固定搭配,意为“致力于、全身心投入某事”,此处用过去分词committed作后置定语。
【18题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空处作表语,结合上文the reason may be physical: steady contact with another living creature可知,这对青少年的福祉很重要,形容词crucial“重要的”符合题意。
【19题详解】
考查名词。句意:这里的每一只动物都曾是附近无人举报的虐待事件的受害者。the + 名词 + of结构;the victim of sth.意为“某事的受害者”,此处指动物曾是虐待行为的受害者。

Section B (2’X7=14’)
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
We often picture today’s teens as social-media addicts. They stare at their phones 24/7 and lash out when they can’t have their WeChat fix. But the truth is more complicated: While they depend on social media to keep up with friends, it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure, and they know it.
When I spoke to four students at Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., as part of my nation-wide teen listening tour, they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media, how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout.
While teens generally acknowledge that social media helps them keep up with their friends, around 45% of them say they feel troubled by the drama they often encounter, according to Pew Research Center. Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes.
Many teens even take voluntary breaks from social media, according to a study conducted by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Chicago. It found that 60% who have taken breaks have taken three or more, and 23% of teens who haven’t taken a break from social media have wanted to take one. About half of teens say their social-media breaks are typically a week or longer.
The Sherman Oaks teens I spoke with say they too have taken breaks to avoid burnout. They all have friends who don’t even bother with social media, and they say they admire it. Still, the fear of missing out usually draws them back. Or, as one of the four students told me, “It kind of gets a little lonely after a while.”
36. The expression “lash out” (paragraph 1) can be best replaced by ________.
A. take on B. break away C. pass off D. blow up
37. It is indicated in the passage that ________ is some teens’ intentional action on social media.
A. selecting what to post B. letting others handle their posts
C. showing their displeasure D. quitting to keep from feeling hurt
38. According to the passage, some teens take breaks from social media to ________.
A. gather more materials for online drama
B. escape the pressure of making comments
C. avoid feeling left out by their peers
D. relieve exhaustion from being disturbed
39. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The downside of social media: Why teens get addicted
B. The social media: More connectivity than isolation among teens
C. The unseen consequences of social media: A teenage perspective
D. The influence of social media: A comprehensive teenage analysis
【答案】36. D 37. A 38. D 39. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了在社交媒体上的一些行为对于青少年的影响。
【36题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“We often picture today’s teens as social-media addicts. They stare at their phones 24/7 (我们经常把今天的青少年描绘成社交媒体成瘾者。他们全天候盯着手机) ”以及“when they can’t have their WeChat fix lash out(当他们不能安装微信时)”可知,青少年经常使用手机,如果不能安装微信,就会很生气,所以“lash out”的意思应该是“生气”。A项“take on(承担)”,B项“breakaway(脱离)”,C项“pass off(停止)”,D项“blow up(爆炸)”。结合选项可知,D项“blow up(爆炸,生气)”符合题意,故答案为D。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“they told me they make conscious choices about who they share things with on social media, how they manage their accounts and how they handle their own burnout. (他们告诉我,他们有意识地选择在社交媒体上与谁分享东西,如何管理自己的账户,以及如何处理自己的倦怠)”可知,在社交媒体上选择分享什么,是一些青少年的有意行为。故答案为A。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Roughly four in 10 teenagers say they feel pressure to post only things that show them in a positive light or that generate a lot of comments or likes.( 大约十分之四的青少年表示,他们感到压力,只能发布积极的东西,或者产生很多评论或喜欢的东西)”可知,一些青少年从社交媒体上休息一下为了从社交媒体中解脱出来。D项:relieve exhaustion from being disturbed(缓解被干扰而产生的疲劳)”符合题意,故答案为D。
【39题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“But the truth is more complicated: While they depend on social media to keep up with friends, it does have a tendency to make them feel helpless under the pressure, and they know it.(但事实要复杂得多:虽然他们依靠社交媒体与朋友保持联系,但这确实会让他们在压力下感到无助,他们也知道这一点)”以及大意可知,本文主要讲述了在社交媒体上的一些行为对于青少年的影响。结合选项可知,C项:The unseen consequences of social media: A teenage perspective“社交媒体的隐性后果:青少年的视角”符合题意,故答案为C。

【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章表格Endowments部分中的“The Endowment Fund is established for restricted gifts for the long-term support of the objectives and mission of Stepping Stones.(捐赠基金是为了接受限定用途的捐赠而设立的,用于对“垫脚石”的目标和使命进行长期支持)”以及“Endowment gifts can be paid over a period of years and may be designated (指定) for specific named funds and scholarships.(捐赠基金的款项可以在数年时间内分期支付,并且可以指定用于特定的命名基金和奖学金项目)”可知,捐赠基金可以指定用于特定的命名基金和奖学金,即可以为特定目的预留。故选C。
【41题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章表格Matching Gifts部分中的“A great way to increase your donation to Stepping Stones is through your employer. Many companies offer a matching gift program to their employees, directors, employees’ husbands or wives as an added benefit. With these programs, a company will match an employee’s gift to charitable and educational organizations.(增加你对“垫脚石”捐赠金额的一个好办法是通过你的雇主来实现。许多公司为其员工、董事、员工的配偶提供配对捐赠项目,作为一项额外福利。通过这些项目,公司会对员工向慈善和教育机构的捐赠进行等额匹配)”可知,通过雇主的配对捐赠项目,公司会对员工向慈善和教育机构的捐赠进行等额匹配,所以小李通过这个项目捐赠奖金,公司会匹配相同金额,能使他的捐赠最大化。故选B。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。文章开篇“Stepping Stones is a nonprofit offering a variety of ways to support life-changing services for children, teenagers and adults with disabilities.(“垫脚石”是一家非营利组织,它提供多种方式来支持为残障儿童、青少年和成年人提供的改变人生的服务项目)”介绍了“Stepping Stones”是一个非营利组织,接着简述了其自1963年以来的发展情况和服务内容。然后以“Want to Support Stepping Stones?”引出下文,详细介绍了支持“Stepping Stones”的多种方式,包括年度基金、捐赠基金、实物捐赠和配对捐赠。也就是说,文章的主体部分就是在介绍不同的支持方式。故选C。
Section C (2’X4=8’)
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The Benefits of Talking to Your Dog
It’s common for people to chat with their dogs throughout the day — about what each other is doing or how cute or playful the pup is. It’s a gentle reminder of what’s meaningful. “When you talk to your dog, you get a sense that this is why you’re here — no matter what happens at work or with your finances, your dog still loves you and needs you, and that gives you a sense of purpose,” says Larry Young, an expert on social bonding at Emory University.
____43____ In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends.
The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln. ____44____ Even so, there’s value in simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense.
Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you, which could keep you thinking about it. ____45____ “Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.”
Further support for this phenomenon comes from a 2022 study. It was found that by engaging in micro-breaks to pet their pup, the people are able to relax and recover — in ways that interacting with unfurry family members doesn’t.
____46____ “They can sense when we’re upset — and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路).
A. A dog won’t try to fix the problem the way some people do.
B. Dogs are not just pets but beloved members of a family.
C. Dogs are fantastic at reading us.
D. Reading and understanding the needs of pets helps improve our overall emotional well-being.
E. Talking to your dog about emotionally frustrating issues can be particularly beneficial.
F. They’re more likely to distract you.
【答案】43. E 44. A 45. F 46. C
【解析】
【导语】文章主要阐述了与狗狗交谈的好处,包括给人带来情感上的安慰、成为倾诉困难情绪的对象、通过表达情感减轻负面感受、避免过度沉溺于烦恼以及通过与狗狗的互动实现放松和恢复等。
【43题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文“In a 2018 study, researchers found that people are more willing to reveal to their dogs about difficult emotions, such as depression, jealousy, anxiety, and fear, than they are with their romantic partners or friends.(在2018年的一项研究中,研究人员发现,相较于向伴侣或朋友倾诉,人们更愿意向他们的狗透露负面情绪,如抑郁、嫉妒、焦虑和恐惧)”以及下文“there’s value in simply expressing emotions, especially troublesome ones. Research has found that when people put their emotions into words, their negative feelings become less intense.(简单地表达情感是有价值的,尤其是那些令人烦恼的情感。研究发现,当人们把自己的情绪用语言表达出来时,他们的负面情绪就会变得不那么强烈)”可知,本段主要讲述了人们更愿意向他们的狗透露困难的情绪,当人们把自己的情绪用语言表达出来时,他们的负面情绪就会变得不那么强烈,所以E项“和你的狗谈论情感上令人沮丧的问题可能特别有益”符合此处主题。
【44题详解】
根据前文“The precise reasons for this aren’t known but one possibility is that “pets are good, nonjudgmental listeners because they don’t interrupt or reply,” says study coauthor Daniel Mills, a specialist in human-animal relationships at the University of Lincoln.(其中的确切原因尚不清楚,但一种可能性是“宠物是很好的、不加评判的倾听者,因为它们不会打断或回答,”该研究的合著者、林肯大学人与动物关系专家丹尼尔·米尔斯说)”可知,宠物是很好的、不加评判的倾听者,因为它们不会打断或回答,所以A项“狗不会像有些人那样试图解决问题”是对前文的解释,符合此处主题。
【45题详解】
根据前文“Another hidden advantage: Your dog isn’t going to engage in a conversation about what’s bothering you, which could keep you thinking about it.(另一个隐藏的好处是:你的狗不会和你谈论那些困扰你的事,(要是换作他人和你讨论这些事)只会让你一直琢磨这些烦心事)”以及后文““Dogs use emotionally controlling strategies,” Mills says. “Their desire to play draws you away from being sad or angry.”(“狗使用情绪控制策略,”米尔斯说。“他们对游戏的渴望会让你远离悲伤或愤怒。”)”可知,本段讲述和狗说话的另一个好处,狗不会和你谈论困扰你的事情,这会让你一直在想它,后文讲述会让你远离悲伤或愤怒,所以F项“他们更有可能分散你的注意力”承接上文,引出下文,符合本段主题。
【46题详解】
设空位于段首,为本段中心句,根据后文““They can sense when we’re upset — and they are arguably better at reading us than some people are,” says Kogan. And “because we know that our dogs read us so well, we regulate ourselves so as not to upset our dogs, which is helpful for us as well.” It’s a positive feedback loop (反馈回路).(科根说:“它们能感觉到我们的不安,而且可以说它们比某些人更能读懂我们。”而且“因为我们知道我们的狗很懂我们,所以我们会控制自己,不让我们的狗感到不安,这对我们也有帮助。”这是一个正反馈循环)”可知,本段讲述狗能感觉到我们的不安,而且可以说它们比某些人更能读懂我们,所以C项“狗很擅长读懂我们”符合本段主题。

Our long-held belief that recycling is the best way to deal with waste turns out to be misleading. New research reveals that recycling education has misled the public. For example, nearly half of those surveyed could not rank “reduce, reuse, recycle” correctly, so many still think recycling comes first. Rules don’t work well, either. Confusing rules like “chasing arrows” often strengthen public misunderstanding, because the symbol makes consumers believe all plastic can be recycled.

Second, it reminds me that patience and care can bring new life. Every little effort can create beauty. The soft light also makes the whole scene peaceful. I hope viewers can slow down and discover warmth in daily life through this picture.
