Philosophy departments are ruled by rankings. Philosophers are supposed to be clear thinkers; shouldn’t they see through thought traps like this The problem is that metrics (衡量标准) are appealing. Once something is ranked, it becomes almost impossible to get that ranking out of your head. Over time, this can lead to what C. Thi Nguyen calls “value capture”.
Nguyen, a philosophy professor, is also a rock climber. When he first took up the sport, what he loved was the joy of using his body in challenging ways. Routes have difficulty scores; these motivated him. But soon he started chasing higher scores, believing the point of climbing was to conquer increasingly demanding routes. “The more desperately I wanted it, the more unpleasant my climbing got,” he wrote. His climbing became less about joy and more about winning. It wasn’t until he saw another climber focus on the beauty of the climb, not just reaching the top, that Nguyen remembered his original passion. He then stopped chasing scores and truly enjoyed the climbing itself.
It’s hard to resist “value capture” because our real values are often unclear. We might enjoy cooking, for instance, but then start believing that only more complicated recipes are truly better. We might love traveling, but then try to visit too many places in a rush, thinking a “successful” trip means doing it all. There’s often a gap between what is measured and what truly matters. As Nguyen points out, “Many of the important things in life seem to consistently defy measurement.”
To avoid being controlled by external measures, Nguyen suggests we learn from games. Games teach us the difference between a “goal” and a “purpose”. For example, when playing charades (打哑谜猜字游戏) with family, your goal might be to win, but your real purpose is to have fun and connect with loved ones. By understanding this crucial difference, we can focus on our deeper purposes and avoid letting external scores capture our true values.
24. How does “value capture” affect us according to the passage
A. It misdirects our true priorities. B. It makes our aims much higher.
C. It defines our personal purposes. D. It helps us clarify our external goals.
25. What does Nguyen’s climbing story primarily illustrate
A. The joy of accomplishing a task. B. The risk of losing inner pleasure.
C. The difficulty of mastering skills. D. The importance of observing others.
26. According to the passage, why do people follow external metrics
A. Outside standards never lead us wrong. B. Rankings create pressure to compete.
C. External metrics promise a clear path to success. D. Clear aims are easier to grasp than inner worth.
27. How does the example of charades help explain Nguyen’s solution
A. Proving that games don’t have external rules. B. Showing that winning matters most in games.
C. Suggesting that family games are meaningless. D. Distinguishing winning from genuine enjoyment.
C
In North Carolina, where I live, different-sized cities and towns schedule monthly activities that are free to the public. I enjoy attending as my schedule permits.
This month, I journeyed about one hour east to attend one of these events. The featured event was a collection of portraits (肖像) painted by a local artist. The models in the portraits were homeless people. The artist provided brief descriptions of the personalities, backgrounds, or behaviors of the people as she experienced them while painting them. All of the art effortlessly focused attendees’ minds on the humanization of marginalized (边缘化) people who are often dehumanized.
I was able to feel the human spirit of the featured people. I could imagine them and think about their life experiences. These are what researchers have labeled to be kinds of important, effortless, and invaluable hard fascination experiences. Researchers might also describe my experience as requiring moderate to hard focus.
In comparison, researchers have defined soft fascination as also stemming from effortless attention — but it is not the all-consuming attention that overwhelms the mind’s capacity to process other unrelated thoughts. Researchers describe soft fascination as attention that is less demanding on our mental capacity. Therefore, during soft fascination, we can reflect on other unresolved thoughts while we are attracted by something in our immediate environment. Soft fascination allows our minds to rest. We experience a restoration from the hard fascination that frequently consumes us.
Soft fascination may be healthy for our minds by giving us a break from hectic hustle culture, stressors, and disconnection from nature, a site of possible multisensory soft fascination and health benefits. Researchers Basu, Duvall, and Kaplan also discovered that their study participants perceived nature-based activities as their preferred ways to experience soft fascination.
It’s important in today’s stressful, chaotic, 21st-century world that we learn to conserve mental capacity to support rest and restoration. This also means that we might consider making more time to incorporate experiences of soft fascination into our daily lives. We may also experience reduced activity in areas of the brain and increased control by the peripheral nervous system during mental rest and restoration.
28. Why does the author describe the exhibition visit
A. To show local artistic techniques. B. To describe a typical weekend activity.
C. To present a psychological concept. D. To reflect on community engagement.
29. What can we know about soft fascination
A. It consumes more mental effort.
B. It is less common than hard fascination.
C. It allows for irrelevant reflections.
D. It requires full attention to one object.
30. What is most likely to be recommended for experiencing soft fascination
A. Walking alone in a quiet forest. B. Solving complex intellectual puzzles.
C. Attending debates on social issues. D. Engaging in intense physical exercise.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. What we are habitually fascinated about. B. Why we should experience soft fascination.
C. How we distinguish different fascinations. D. Whether we genuinely experience fascination.
D
Those puzzled by their inability to break free from repeating the same wrong decisions now have a scientific explanation. According to a new study led by Giuseppe di Pellegrino from the University of Bologna, life’s decisions are often heavily shaped by environmental cues (线索), leading to risky behaviour. People frequently base their choices on surrounding visual and auditory stimuli (刺激) without even realizing it.
A new study led by Giuseppe di Pellegrino from the University of Bologna uncovered that some people rely far more on environmental cues when deciding, while others do so to a lesser extent. As a result, everyday sights and sounds can sway the decision-making process greatly in certain individuals. In fact, these cues begin to override personal choice. The study stresses cognitive (认知) flexibility as a crucial element in adapting to change.
How does the brain learn from environmental signals The answer lies in its constant processing of visual cues, background noises, and other surrounding information. Over time, the brain forms links between these signals and expected outcomes. This mechanism, called associative learning, enables the brain to forecast whether a decision will bring about a reward or a negative consequence. In most instances, it lets people make choices easier and boosts efficiency.
The ability to avoid poor decisions weakens in those highly sensitive to cues, particularly when familiar stimuli change toward signaling less favorable results. Di Pellegrino’s study, centered on bad choices, indicates that such individuals struggle to refresh the meaning of these signals. Old associations exist despite ongoing negative effects, making the brain respond as if circumstances remain unchanged.
The researchers also concluded that addictive behaviors and anxiety may tie back to heightened cue sensitivity and weakened cognitive flexibility. These findings throw light on the roots of harmful habits and behavioral patterns. Moving forward, they could pave the way for more targeted strategies to guide decision-making in those particularly paying attention to environmental signals.
32. What does the underlined word “sway” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Mirror. B. Influence. C. Delay. D. Expose.
33. What is the function of associative learning
A. Improving working efficiency. B. Enriching people’s imagination.
C. Collecting surrounding information. D. Helping predict the outcome of a choice.
34. What might happen to those sensitive to cues
A. They are easy to develop harmful habits.
B. They tend to make more reasonable decisions.
C. They are likely to have stronger cognitive flexibility.
D. They have trouble refreshing the meaning of the cues.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. How People Can Make A Wise Decision.
B. What Really Lies Behind Environmental Cues.
C. Why People Keep Repeating The Same Mistaken Decisions.
D. What Is The Connection Between Surroundings And Cognitive.

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。
Reading on Screens: A Cognitive Shift
Digital reading has become ubiquitous, yet its impact on comprehension remains controversial. A 2024 meta-analysis reveals that readers absorb 20-30% less complex information from screens than print. ____36____ The phenomenon, termed “digital distraction syndrome (综合征)”, suggests our brains subconsciously (下意识地) associate devices with fragmented consumption.
Neuroscientists attribute this to reduced “cognitive mapping.” Physical books provide tactile (触觉上的) cues-page thickness, spatial (空间的) memory of text locations-that enhance recall. Screens offer uniform scrolling, flattening mental architecture. ____37____ This spatial disorientation (迷路) impairs the brain’s ability to organize information hierarchy (分等级的).
____38____ In a Cambridge University experiment, students reading philosophical texts on tablets scored lower on inference questions than print readers, despite identical reading times. Eye-tracking data showed screen readers exhibited “shallow scanning”: pay attention to the keywords but skipping connective phrases essential for contextual understanding.
The solution isn’t abandoning technology, but redesigning digital interfaces (接口). ____39____ Researchers propose “cognitive scaffolding (支架)” tools: interactive outlines that visually mirror text structure, or AI-generated summaries reinforcing (加强) key arguments between paragraphs. Such interventions could bridge the comprehension gap.
____40____ As one cognitive psychologist notes: “We must engineer digital environments that respect how the human brain evolved to process information — not force our brains to conform to digital limitations.”
A. Evidence extends beyond laboratory settings into real-world academic performance.
B. Contrary to popular belief, today’s youth prefer print for intensive study sessions.
C. This deficit (不足) persists across age groups, from digital natives to older adults.
D. Multitasking during screen reading further diminishes retention capacity.
E. Educational policymakers should prioritize print textbooks in primary schools.
F. Consequently, readers struggle to construct mental frameworks for long-term knowledge integration.
G. Emerging technologies like VR may simulate physical page-turning to restore spatial memory.

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 community library was Megan’s peaceful kingdom, a place of quiet whispers and turning pages. Every summer vacation, she worked as a student volunteer, feeling responsible for protecting this quiet space.
Lately, a boy named Liam had become her challenge. Liam wasn’t rude — he just couldn’t sit still. Like clockwork, he would get up to “stretch his legs, ”pacing between the bookshelves. Sometimes he’d accidentally knock over a chair. Once, absorbed in a picture book, he let out a loud“Whoa!”when he saw a giant dinosaur filled the page. In the silence, each sound drew looks from other readers.
Yesterday, when Megan walked over and reminded him gently again, Liam’s face turned red. “I’m really sorry, ”he whispered sincerely. “I don’t mean to. I just. I really like being here. ”She believed him. She had noticed that Liam was a curious explorer of books. He would pull out a book on dinosaurs, reading with intense focus for a few minutes, then move on to another about volcanoes or space rockets. He just loved the library.
Megan went back to her office. A note on the head librarian’s desk caught her eye. It read, “More Lively Reading Activities Book sharing Acting ” Seeing this, Megan suddenly remembered the librarian had mentioned she could feel free to use the garden at the back of the library. It was a place where some unused items were stored — some old chairs, folding tables, all piled up gathering dust under a large tree. At the time, Megan hadn’t thought much about it. But now, the thoughts of directing Liam’s energy and making use of the garden connected in her mind. Perhaps the solution wasn’t to quiet Liam down, but to give his energy and love for books a positive stage, right here in their own library.
An idea for a “Garden Reading Corner”project, aimed at young readers, began to take shape. The next morning, she found Liam among the bookshelves. “Want to do something really cool ”she said, her voice low but excited. Liam did not answer at once, but the eager light in his eyes said everything.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

原文： If you told me, I’d be standing here giving a talk on Internet safety five years ago. I’d have said no way. I’m not here because I think you need teaching. I’m here because I respect you and because bad people online are targeting people like us more and more. Let’s look at it this way. There are 40 of you here and me. Now imagine if a bad person tricked each of us and took away twelve hundred pounds. That’s a lot of money gone, just like that. It’s a shocking figure, but it’s real. These tricks are clever and happen very fast every single day. If you don’t believe me, listen to this story. A friend of mine who used to run a school clicked the link in what looked like an email from her bank. She lost her savings in 20 minutes. She’s one of the most intelligent and aware people I know. It wasn’t her fault. It was a clever trick. We can’t stop online tricks. But we can protect ourselves. Strong passwords, updated software and asking questions if something feels off. No need to avoid getting advice today. If people tell you not to seek advice, then you don’t believe them. Being here today doesn’t mean you don't know anything. It means you are being smart and careful.

Philosophy departments are ruled by rankings. Philosophers are supposed to be clear thinkers; shouldn’t they see through thought traps like this The problem is that metrics (衡量标准) are appealing. Once something is ranked, it becomes almost impossible to get that ranking out of your head. Over time, this can lead to what C. Thi Nguyen calls “value capture”.
Nguyen, a philosophy professor, is also a rock climber. When he first took up the sport, what he loved was the joy of using his body in challenging ways. Routes have difficulty scores; these motivated him. But soon he started chasing higher scores, believing the point of climbing was to conquer increasingly demanding routes. “The more desperately I wanted it, the more unpleasant my climbing got,” he wrote. His climbing became less about joy and more about winning. It wasn’t until he saw another climber focus on the beauty of the climb, not just reaching the top, that Nguyen remembered his original passion. He then stopped chasing scores and truly enjoyed the climbing itself.
It’s hard to resist “value capture” because our real values are often unclear. We might enjoy cooking, for instance, but then start believing that only more complicated recipes are truly better. We might love traveling, but then try to visit too many places in a rush, thinking a “successful” trip means doing it all. There’s often a gap between what is measured and what truly matters. As Nguyen points out, “Many of the important things in life seem to consistently defy measurement.”
To avoid being controlled by external measures, Nguyen suggests we learn from games. Games teach us the difference between a “goal” and a “purpose”. For example, when playing charades (打哑谜猜字游戏) with family, your goal might be to win, but your real purpose is to have fun and connect with loved ones. By understanding this crucial difference, we can focus on our deeper purposes and avoid letting external scores capture our true values.
24. How does “value capture” affect us according to the passage
A. It misdirects our true priorities. B. It makes our aims much higher.
C. It defines our personal purposes. D. It helps us clarify our external goals.
25. What does Nguyen’s climbing story primarily illustrate
A. The joy of accomplishing a task. B. The risk of losing inner pleasure.
C. The difficulty of mastering skills. D. The importance of observing others.
26. According to the passage, why do people follow external metrics
A. Outside standards never lead us wrong. B. Rankings create pressure to compete.
C. External metrics promise a clear path to success. D. Clear aims are easier to grasp than inner worth.
27. How does the example of charades help explain Nguyen’s solution
A. Proving that games don’t have external rules. B. Showing that winning matters most in games.
C. Suggesting that family games are meaningless. D. Distinguishing winning from genuine enjoyment.

In North Carolina, where I live, different-sized cities and towns schedule monthly activities that are free to the public. I enjoy attending as my schedule permits.
This month, I journeyed about one hour east to attend one of these events. The featured event was a collection of portraits (肖像) painted by a local artist. The models in the portraits were homeless people. The artist provided brief descriptions of the personalities, backgrounds, or behaviors of the people as she experienced them while painting them. All of the art effortlessly focused attendees’ minds on the humanization of marginalized (边缘化) people who are often dehumanized.
I was able to feel the human spirit of the featured people. I could imagine them and think about their life experiences. These are what researchers have labeled to be kinds of important, effortless, and invaluable hard fascination experiences. Researchers might also describe my experience as requiring moderate to hard focus.
In comparison, researchers have defined soft fascination as also stemming from effortless attention — but it is not the all-consuming attention that overwhelms the mind’s capacity to process other unrelated thoughts. Researchers describe soft fascination as attention that is less demanding on our mental capacity. Therefore, during soft fascination, we can reflect on other unresolved thoughts while we are attracted by something in our immediate environment. Soft fascination allows our minds to rest. We experience a restoration from the hard fascination that frequently consumes us.
Soft fascination may be healthy for our minds by giving us a break from hectic hustle culture, stressors, and disconnection from nature, a site of possible multisensory soft fascination and health benefits. Researchers Basu, Duvall, and Kaplan also discovered that their study participants perceived nature-based activities as their preferred ways to experience soft fascination.
It’s important in today’s stressful, chaotic, 21st-century world that we learn to conserve mental capacity to support rest and restoration. This also means that we might consider making more time to incorporate experiences of soft fascination into our daily lives. We may also experience reduced activity in areas of the brain and increased control by the peripheral nervous system during mental rest and restoration.
28. Why does the author describe the exhibition visit
A. To show local artistic techniques. B. To describe a typical weekend activity.
C. To present a psychological concept. D. To reflect on community engagement.
29. What can we know about soft fascination
A. It consumes more mental effort.
B. It is less common than hard fascination.
C. It allows for irrelevant reflections.
D. It requires full attention to one object.
30. What is most likely to be recommended for experiencing soft fascination
A. Walking alone in a quiet forest. B. Solving complex intellectual puzzles.
C. Attending debates on social issues. D. Engaging in intense physical exercise.
31. What is the best title for the text
A. What we are habitually fascinated about. B. Why we should experience soft fascination.
C. How we distinguish different fascinations. D. Whether we genuinely experience fascination.

Those puzzled by their inability to break free from repeating the same wrong decisions now have a scientific explanation. According to a new study led by Giuseppe di Pellegrino from the University of Bologna, life’s decisions are often heavily shaped by environmental cues (线索), leading to risky behaviour. People frequently base their choices on surrounding visual and auditory stimuli (刺激) without even realizing it.
A new study led by Giuseppe di Pellegrino from the University of Bologna uncovered that some people rely far more on environmental cues when deciding, while others do so to a lesser extent. As a result, everyday sights and sounds can sway the decision-making process greatly in certain individuals. In fact, these cues begin to override personal choice. The study stresses cognitive (认知) flexibility as a crucial element in adapting to change.
How does the brain learn from environmental signals The answer lies in its constant processing of visual cues, background noises, and other surrounding information. Over time, the brain forms links between these signals and expected outcomes. This mechanism, called associative learning, enables the brain to forecast whether a decision will bring about a reward or a negative consequence. In most instances, it lets people make choices easier and boosts efficiency.
The ability to avoid poor decisions weakens in those highly sensitive to cues, particularly when familiar stimuli change toward signaling less favorable results. Di Pellegrino’s study, centered on bad choices, indicates that such individuals struggle to refresh the meaning of these signals. Old associations exist despite ongoing negative effects, making the brain respond as if circumstances remain unchanged.
The researchers also concluded that addictive behaviors and anxiety may tie back to heightened cue sensitivity and weakened cognitive flexibility. These findings throw light on the roots of harmful habits and behavioral patterns. Moving forward, they could pave the way for more targeted strategies to guide decision-making in those particularly paying attention to environmental signals.
32. What does the underlined word “sway” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Mirror. B. Influence. C. Delay. D. Expose.
33. What is the function of associative learning
A. Improving working efficiency. B. Enriching people’s imagination.
C. Collecting surrounding information. D. Helping predict the outcome of a choice.
34. What might happen to those sensitive to cues
A. They are easy to develop harmful habits.
B. They tend to make more reasonable decisions.
C. They are likely to have stronger cognitive flexibility.
D. They have trouble refreshing the meaning of the cues.
35. What can be the best title for the text
A. How People Can Make A Wise Decision.
B. What Really Lies Behind Environmental Cues.
C. Why People Keep Repeating The Same Mistaken Decisions.
D. What Is The Connection Between Surroundings And Cognitive.

Reading on Screens: A Cognitive Shift
Digital reading has become ubiquitous, yet its impact on comprehension remains controversial. A 2024 meta-analysis reveals that readers absorb 20-30% less complex information from screens than print. ____36____ The phenomenon, termed “digital distraction syndrome (综合征)”, suggests our brains subconsciously (下意识地) associate devices with fragmented consumption.
Neuroscientists attribute this to reduced “cognitive mapping.” Physical books provide tactile (触觉上的) cues-page thickness, spatial (空间的) memory of text locations-that enhance recall. Screens offer uniform scrolling, flattening mental architecture. ____37____ This spatial disorientation (迷路) impairs the brain’s ability to organize information hierarchy (分等级的).
____38____ In a Cambridge University experiment, students reading philosophical texts on tablets scored lower on inference questions than print readers, despite identical reading times. Eye-tracking data showed screen readers exhibited “shallow scanning”: pay attention to the keywords but skipping connective phrases essential for contextual understanding.
The solution isn’t abandoning technology, but redesigning digital interfaces (接口). ____39____ Researchers propose “cognitive scaffolding (支架)” tools: interactive outlines that visually mirror text structure, or AI-generated summaries reinforcing (加强) key arguments between paragraphs. Such interventions could bridge the comprehension gap.
____40____ As one cognitive psychologist notes: “We must engineer digital environments that respect how the human brain evolved to process information — not force our brains to conform to digital limitations.”
A. Evidence extends beyond laboratory settings into real-world academic performance.
B. Contrary to popular belief, today’s youth prefer print for intensive study sessions.
C. This deficit (不足) persists across age groups, from digital natives to older adults.
D. Multitasking during screen reading further diminishes retention capacity.
E. Educational policymakers should prioritize print textbooks in primary schools.
F. Consequently, readers struggle to construct mental frameworks for long-term knowledge integration.
G. Emerging technologies like VR may simulate physical page-turning to restore spatial memory.

答案：Dear Tom,
I’m glad you asked for my advice on the summer study tour! Considering your interests, I’d recommend the Culture Tour to Xi’an. The following are my reasons.
Initially, Xi’an is one of China’s oldest historical cities, known as the “cradle of Chinese civilization.” You’ll get to visit iconic sites like the Terracotta Army, which is a world-famous relic from the Qin Dynasty, and the Ancient City Wall, where you can even ride a bike to feel the history. Secondly, Xi’an is also a great place to taste authentic Chinese food. You can try local snacks like Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) and Yangrou Paomo (mutton soup with bread), which I know you’ll love as a food lover.
Whatever you choose, it’ll be a great experience! Let me know your decision.
Yours,
Li Hua

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 community library was Megan’s peaceful kingdom, a place of quiet whispers and turning pages. Every summer vacation, she worked as a student volunteer, feeling responsible for protecting this quiet space.
Lately, a boy named Liam had become her challenge. Liam wasn’t rude — he just couldn’t sit still. Like clockwork, he would get up to “stretch his legs, ”pacing between the bookshelves. Sometimes he’d accidentally knock over a chair. Once, absorbed in a picture book, he let out a loud“Whoa!”when he saw a giant dinosaur filled the page. In the silence, each sound drew looks from other readers.
Yesterday, when Megan walked over and reminded him gently again, Liam’s face turned red. “I’m really sorry, ”he whispered sincerely. “I don’t mean to. I just. I really like being here. ”She believed him. She had noticed that Liam was a curious explorer of books. He would pull out a book on dinosaurs, reading with intense focus for a few minutes, then move on to another about volcanoes or space rockets. He just loved the library.
Megan went back to her office. A note on the head librarian’s desk caught her eye. It read, “More Lively Reading Activities Book sharing Acting ” Seeing this, Megan suddenly remembered the librarian had mentioned she could feel free to use the garden at the back of the library. It was a place where some unused items were stored — some old chairs, folding tables, all piled up gathering dust under a large tree. At the time, Megan hadn’t thought much about it. But now, the thoughts of directing Liam’s energy and making use of the garden connected in her mind. Perhaps the solution wasn’t to quiet Liam down, but to give his energy and love for books a positive stage, right here in their own library.
An idea for a “Garden Reading Corner”project, aimed at young readers, began to take shape. The next morning, she found Liam among the bookshelves. “Want to do something really cool ”she said, her voice low but excited. Liam did not answer at once, but the eager light in his eyes said everything.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the opening day of the project, they waited nervously in the garden.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案：
For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project. They first cleaned the messy garden, moving old chairs and folding tables to a sunny spot under the big tree. Liam scrubbed the dirt off the furniture and arranged them in a circle for kids. Megan brought colorful posters of dinosaurs and space — Liam’s favorite — and they hung them on the tree. They also picked out a lot of picture books and storybooks for young readers and placed them on a wooden shelf from the storage. Every evening, they discussed fun activities like book sharing and role-playing, with Liam coming up with many creative ideas.
On the opening day of the project, they waited nervously in the garden. Soon many kids came, attracted by the colorful posters and interesting books. Liam became a great guide: he read dinosaur stories aloud and acted out some parts with vivid gestures, making everyone laugh happily. The garden was filled with soft laughter and reading voices, never disturbing the quiet inside the library. The head librarian came and praised them warmly, saying the garden reading corner was a wonderful addition. Megan smiled, knowing she had found the best way to let Liam’s energy shine and keep the library quiet.
