In theory, coming up with a fair division of housework should be simple: Take all the tasks and divide them equally between two partners. In practice, it’s more complicated. A new study
complicates the picture of couples’(dis) satisfaction with how they split up chores: It found that men and women in long-term partnerships tend to be happier with their relationship when they share responsibility for each chore on their to-do list, as opposed to when each partner has their own set of tasks.
In one data set, Carlson, the author of the study, found that couples who managed each chore jointly were twice as likely to say that their division of labor was fair as couples who
assigned chores to one partner or another— even though both groups split the overall workload more or less equally.
To be clear, these findings don’t necessarily mean that a certain chore distribution caused couples to become happier — couples that are happier and more cooperative may be more likely
to share responsibilities for every chore in the first place. That said, if the chore distribution is
what matters, maybe the explanation is that sharing responsibilities builds a spirit of teamwork, or encourages couples to communicate better.
A “grass is greener” effect could also be at play; if you never have to fold the laundry, that task may start to seem more tolerable than the pile of dirty dishes you’re about to work through.
Yet there’s another possibility: there might be something about really understanding all the work in the home that makes people appreciate their partner and what they’re doing more deeply.
Melissa Milkie, a sociologist at the University of Toronto who wasn’t involved in the study, told me, “If you’re the partner that never cleans the bathroom, you might not realize how much energy it takes.”
24 ．What do we know about housework division from the first paragraph
A ．Dividing tasks cuts conflict.
B ．Separate tasks lift happiness.
C ．Sharing each chore brings joy.
D ．Equal workload brings fairness.
25 ．What does the “grass is greener” effect suggest about chores
A ．Couples envy others’ responsibilities.
B ．Unassigned tasks seem less burdensome.
C ．Partners avoid disliked tasks intentionally.
D ．All chores feel equally difficult over time.
26 ．What does Milkie imply about separating chores
A ．It may take more physical energy.
B ．It may promote household efficiency.
C ．It may lead to underestimating partners’ work.
D ．It may deepen understanding between partners.
27 ．What is the main purpose of the text
A ．To advocate a new chore division model.
B ．To analyze the reasons for sharing chores.
C ．To criticize the unfair division of chores.
D ．To explain couples’ feeling of chore division.

Zhang Xuefeng, China’s most famous education influencer, died suddenly at age 41 on
Tuesday due to cardiac arrest. Known for his ruthlessly blunt advice on how to win in China’s educational rat race, he had built a massive following over nearly a decade. His signature
rapid-fire, snark-infused patter first shot him to fame in 2016 with a video summarizing China’s top 34 universities in seven minutes. From there, he launched a consulting company, charging
thousands of dollars for courses that helped students choose majors, internships, and careers based on cold-eyed calculations oftest scores, family backgrounds, and whether they prioritized money or stability.
To his detractors, Zhang was cynical and utilitarian. But to his tens of millions of fans — especially those from less privileged backgrounds — he embodied a rare willingness to speak
harsh truths. “I come from an ordinary family,” he once wrote. “If you come from a wealthy
family, you have more choices. But most families aren’t that well-off, so when choosing a major, you have to choose one that puts food on the table.” The liberal arts Only good for service jobs, he declared. Finance Don’t bother unless your family has connections. His 2023 comment that parents should knock their children unconscious rather than let them study journalism sparked
days of online debate. Critics said he misunderstood the point of education. His fans only grew more devoted. As one Shanghai-based outlet noted, “The comment section is dominated by one voice: The poor need Zhang Xuefeng.”
But Zhang had recently landed in trouble. In September, his social media accounts were
blocked during a campaign by China’s cyberspace administration to eliminate what it called
“excessively pessimistic” sentiment. Some observers speculated his true offense was speaking
bluntly about young people’s economic anxieties at a time when the government was trying to
hide high youth unemployment rates. He recovered his accounts a month later and returned to
streaming multiple times a week. The morning he died, he did a broadcast, then went for a run — as was his habit.
His death prompted an outpouring not only of shock but also of reflection across Chinese social media. One popular hashtag asked: Had he steered young Chinese to better lives or
discouraged their idealism Another, “Excessive self-discipline,” emerged in response to reports
that he had collapsed after running. A fellow influencer, Zhu Wei, posted a tribute but also offered a sobering warning: “The cruelest thing about the age of internet traffic is that nothing lasts even a month before it’s forgotten. Everyone will soon go back to their usual state, endlessly striving and slogging, never able to stop.”
28．According to the passage, what was the primary reason for Zhang Xuefeng’s popularity among less privileged students
A ．He offered free consulting services to students from ordinary families.
B ．He was known for telling harsh truths about how to succeed despite inequality.
C ．He criticized the government’s education policies on social media platforms.
D ．He encouraged students to pursue liberal arts degrees regardless of job prospects.
29 ．The phrase “cold-eyed calculations” (paragraph 1) most nearly means .
A ．emotional and impulsive decision-making based on personal passion.
B ．mathematical analysis of statistical data regarding employment rates.
C ．realistic and unemotional evaluations of practical factors and outcomes.
D ．pessimistic assumptions about one’s future regardless of one’s background.
30 ．Why does the author include Zhu Wei’s quote about “nothing lasts even a month before it’s forgotten”
A ．To argue that Zhang’s influence was never truly significant.
B ．To suggest that public attention is short-lived and society quickly returns to old habits.
C ．To criticize the government for blocking Zhang’s social media accounts.
D ．To prove that educational influencers have no real impact on students’ lives.
31 ．Which of the following statements about Zhang Xuefeng can be inferred from the passage A ．His blunt remarks about journalism ultimately caused him to lose most of his fans.
B ．He was punished by the cyberspace administration solely for his views on Taiwan.
C ．His death led many young Chinese to completely abandon their pursuit of success.
D ．His approach to education consulting reflected a utilitarian rather than idealistic philosophy.
D
Since Francis Galton coined the phrase “nature vs nurture (环境因素)” 150 years ago, the debate about what makes us who we are has dominated the human sciences.
Today, however, a new scientific field is set to reshape the debate — not by declaring
victory for one side or the other, nor even by calling a tie, but rather by revealing they were never in opposition in the first place. Through this new perspective, nature and nurture are not even
entirely distinguishable, because genes and environment don’t operate in isolation; they influence each other and to a very real degree even create each other.
The new field is called sociogenomics, an integration of behavioral science and genetics.
Despite being a relatively new area of study, it has the potential to rewrite a great deal of what we think we know about who we are and how we got that way.
Genes don’t affect who we become just on their own, inside our bodies — they work, in
part, by shaping the environments we look for or produce. At other times, the nature-nurture
feedback circle may be more pernicious. It’s no surprise that terrible setbacks — the loss of a job, the end of a marriage — can cause people to fall into depression. I was astonished to learn,
however, that people with a high genetic tendency for depression are more likely to encounter
these setbacks, which in turn contribute to their depression. That’s not to say that any ofit is their fault, just that the way we’re supported and the world we pilot are closely linked.
Here is the part of this research that really blows me away. The research suggests that your partner’s genes influence your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do. It also shows when a small number of students with a genetic tendency to smoke are present in a high school, smoking rates can rise rapidly across an entire grade — even among those students who didn’t personally know those classmates.
Genes alone aren’t enough to determine these outcomes and neither is environment. Nature and nurture both shape each other, with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and
nurture influencing the way our nature expresses itself. The more opportunities and information the environment provides — the more varied environments become — the greater the influence that genetic variation has in sorting us into different categories.
Nature and nurture aren’t separate forces — they’re endlessly circling back on each other.
32 ．Prior to the emergence of sociogenomics, it was widely believed that .
A ．genes and environment functioned separately
B ．there was no clear line between nature and nurture
C ．environment shaped our perception ofwho we are
D ．nature mattered more than nurture for personal growth
33 ．The underlined word “pernicious” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A ．disastrous B ．generative C ．pointless D ．questionable
34 ．It can be inferred that the research shocked the writer by suggesting that .
A ．our genes may change because of the people we live with
B ．nature determines our behaviour just as much as nurture does
C ．people with the same genes are more likely to interact with each other
D ．the genes of people around us can affect the environment we experience
35 ．Which of the following pictures correctly illustrates how nature and nurture make us who we are

Human history could be told as the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our
vision extended the reach of perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch
craftsman fitted two lenses (镜片) into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. From that moment, observation stopped to be passive. 36
As centuries unfolded, the instruments of observation multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally, algorithms. Each revealed a new layer of reality — the
infinitesimal cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the universe. 37 To see was to know; To measure was to exist. Observation drew the outlines of science, yet it also defined our sense of self, for every discovery beyond the human scale reminded us how small we are.
38 The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable. The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being
recorded in the same instant. 39 The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face.
And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes — the movements of universe, the signatures of disease, the habits of a city. 40
The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look.
A ．Seeing is no longer believing.
B ．We no longer merely looked — we searched.
C ．The act of looking became both a discipline and a philosophy.
D ．The ultimate horizon of observation is out there among the stars.
E ．The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity.
F ．Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous.
G ．The telescope’s lens and the smartphone’s camera are now part of the same global system of seeing.

Who, or what, do you trust
Every day, we turn to the internet to : should we stay at that hotel, eat at this
restaurant, ride with that driver We have become so used to the large-scale insights provided by , many of us wouldn’t even buy a toaster without first checking reviews. Their
accessibility and apparent authority mean that simply picking an appliance at random is almost
— why wouldn’t you ask Google first And yet, when it comes to many more
fundamental choices — like what we choose to study — we often trust our instincts. This, argues economist Seth Davidowitz, is where we are going wrong. , following our instincts can lead us to act on hidden prejudices or to keep following dead-end paths.
In his new book Don’t Trust Your Gut: Using data instead of instinct to make better choices, Seth Davidowitz brings together “credible answers to questions” as revealed by vast
online data, so we can apply them in order to be more successful and happier. “While we often
think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers, it turns out, ,” he writes.
Some findings are indeed , going against common belief — for example, the overstated advantage of youth in starting a business. Others, however, may be more expectations: we often overestimate the pleasure of passive activities such as snacking and
watching TV. Research by the London School of Economics found that even relaxing tends to make people feel less than anticipated. On the other hand, we underestimate the
to our mood from visiting museums or libraries.
From work to relationships, Seth Davidowitz looks to the data for on key
decisions and, where possible, tries it out for himself. In his book he writes that he used AI,
market research and statistical analysis — putting more than 100 edited images of himself into an online survey — to find out that people generally prefer him with glasses and a beard. Though
entertaining, his book is most when it challenges popular assumptions and demonstrates what works best for most people, so that all of us might learn from their example.
But his somewhat idealist view of data may create a with a world already
transformed by it. may not lie, as Seth Davidowitz writes — but nor do they reveal the complete, complex picture, especially when they are controlled by corporate interests. When our is already being shaped by data in ways of which we aren’t aware, perhaps success isn’t always a matter of making the right decision.

Catherine the Great set out to define Russia as an extremely important power in Europe. Her rule remained stable 56 the year of 1768, when something began to threaten her people and her position — an ancient disease named smallpox.
By the 18th century, smallpox 57 (become) particularly deadly. One in five
people who caught it died. It was particularly dangerous for children, so parents would be advised not to count their children unless they survived smallpox. There was absolutely 58 that could be done. People tried keeping patients hot 59 (sweat) the disease out or even
bleeding them, neither of which did any good.
Since the 16th century, there had been inoculation 60 (practise) widely in China, the Middle East and Turkey. It involved a person being given a controlled dose (剂量) of the
disease. A tiny drop of pus (脓液) from the spots of someone with the disease 61 (collect). Then the live virus was put into a cut on the arm of the healthy person.
In 1767, a British doctor named Dinsdale published an instruction manual and introduced his way to inoculate safely. And that’s 62 he came to the attention of Catherine the
Great. In the 1760s, inoculation wasn’t a common practice in Russia, a land 63 there was “enormous distrust” against it. Catherine made the brave decision to experiment with
treatment first. She put her faith in science and her life in the hands of Dinsdale, 64 (call) for him in 1768 to treat her and her family.
Catherine’s inoculation went so well that her experience encouraged her people to get inoculated, too. Indeed, her first experiment demonstrated great resolution and firmness of her mind. To her people, she projected an image of herself 65 a caring ruler. She was
remembered for advancing public health in Russia and saving millions of lives.

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。
One day in the early 1980s in Pennsylvania, a truck stopped in the parking lot with a load of old typewriters (打字机) from around the globe for sale. David stopped by and found a large
metal disc (圆盘) very special. It weighed around 30 pounds and measured about 30 inches across, covered in thousands of precisely designed Chinese characters. It was nothing like anything he
had ever seen before, yet David knew for sure it was part of a Chinese typewriter. He offered $17 — all the cash in his wallet — and rolled the disc to his car. Back home, he kept the beloved
collection in a workshop among tools, car parts and poetry magazines.
Last summer, the local library was planning an exhibition of historic typewriters. David
remembered his disc and took it to consult Kathryn Dillon, a technician at the library. Dillon
thought it was so beautiful and so unusual but she knew little about it. She realized it needed to be figured out. So she sent photos of the disc to Tom Mullaney, a professor and historian in Stanford University.
It was a shocking moment for Mullaney when he saw the pictures, because he knew it was the key part of the first Chinese typewriter, MingKwai. Mullaney once wrote a book on the
MingKwai so he knew the story of it quite well.
The MingKwai, meaning “clear and fast” in Chinese, was proof of a far more elegant
possibility. Produced in 1947, it had only 72 keys. The typewriter’s inventor was the well-known Chinese writer, translator and linguist Lin Yutang. For some reasons, the MingKwai was never
mass-produced. The MingKwai simply disappeared, but its significance lived on. It’s the
great-great parent of the entire Chinese digital age, at least in terms of human-computer
interaction. Now that the key part of the first Chinese typewriter was rediscovered, Mullaney wouldn’t let it disappear again. He responded at once.
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。
Knowing the disc was on display in the library, Mullaney immediately went there.

After the exhibition, David decided to donate it to Stanford for further research.
1 ．C
【原文】W: I’ve booked our flights. It seems that flying straight from New York to London is expensive, so we’re going to change planes in Boston.
M: Okay, as long as we can get there.
2 ．B
【原文】W: My legs ache so much. I did an hour on my exercise bike this morning.
M: They won’t ache once you get used to it. Mine used to ache when I started running in the park.
W: I’m thinking of lifting some weights to build up arm strength.
3 ．A
【原文】M: You can sit here if you’d like a window seat.
W: Oh, that’s very kind of you, but my seat is right over one of the wings. I’ll be able to have a great view. Thanks, anyway.
4 ．B
【原文】M: Look what I’ve bought. I’ll be able to get some air to my legs.
W: Great, and you’ll need a new pair of shoes. Black shoes and socks with shorts isn’t a good look.
5 ．B
【原文】M: I’d like an apple pie, a large plate of fries, some green beans and mushrooms, and a salad.
W: Isn’t that too much Your eyes are always bigger than your stomach.
M: Not this time.
W: If you don’t eat them all, you’re paying for this dinner.
6 ．B 7 ．C 8 ．C
【原文】W: Did you catch the morning news It just reported on the Huajiang Canyon Bridge in Guizhou. I hadn’t paid attention to it before. Do you know about it
M: Yes! My teacher asked us to look for information online and write a short article about the bridge.
W: What information have you collected
M: I watched a video about the bridge. It is now the highest bridge in the world, standing about 625 meters above the canyon floor. It surpasses the previous record-holder, the Duge Bridge,
which is over 565 meters above the bottom of the valley.
W: I really wonder how they managed to build such a high bridge.
M: The city library may offer more information resources. I’ll check it out. Would you like to join me
9 ．A 10 ．C 11 ．B 12 ．A
【原文】W: I think I’ve finally decided what to write about in my paper. It’s a new museum in Washington D.C.
M: Really I picked a museum too, a science museum up in Canada. It looks sort of like spaceship.
W: I read about that. It was built about 20 years ago, I think, by the same architect who designed the building I’m interested in, Douglas Smith.
M: That’s him! But I can’t imagine Smith designing anything in the traditional classical style.
W: Well, this new structure has to fit in with the architecture of the surrounding buildings, but its style is anything but traditional. I don’t mean that it’s one of those big glass boxes they call
modern architecture though. This building has rounded free form shapes and sweeping curves. It is supposed to represent the natural forms like the Canyon cliffs in the western states, rock
formations that were shaped by water and the wind.
M: Sounds fantastic. But I wonder why that sort of style would be chosen for a building in Washington D.C.
W: That’s easy. This place is called the National Museum of American Indian. And it’s devoted to exhibits of Native American cultures, including those of the west. And for Smith this is his own
family treasure too. And in designing this museum he was careful to respect the various Native
American values and traditions, like paying attention to the directions of winds and the position of the sun in different seasons of the year.
M: Wow, a non-traditional building, designed to showcase some of North American’s oldest traditions. Interesting!
Questions
What is the conversation mainly about
What do the two museums mentioned in the conversations have in common
What did Douglas Smith design the new building to look like
What kinds of traditions are represented in Smith’s new building

【原文】M: How did you become a weather forecaster, and when did you start doing TV forecasts
W: Well, I studied physics for four years at university, then spent six months on a weather training course. Then I worked at the local weather center for a while, until about five years ago I got a job with the BBC doing weather forecasts. I actually started doing them on television three years ago, after two years of giving radio forecasts. I really enjoy the work.
M: What do you like best about it
W: I feel I’m helping those who need to know what the weather’s going to be like. Sometimes we get letters from farmers, thanking us for what we’re doing. And I know how important the forecast is to people going out in small boats, because my favorite hobby is sailing.
M: Does it make many people change their plans, or decide not to travel
W: Oh yes. Those flying small airplanes. And people planning journeys by road want to know if there’s going to be fog or heavy snow so they can set out earlier. Or not go at all, if conditions are really bad.
M: So with all these people depending on you, the forecast has to be right, doesn’t it
W: Yes, and these days we normally get it right for the following day around 85% of the time. We
have weather balloons and photos taken from space, and of course computers to make the forecast more accurate.
M: All that must make your job a lot easier.
W: Certainly it helps you produce more accurate forecasts, but it also creates a huge amount of extra work for us. You only appear on TV for a few minutes every day, but you spend hours
studying all this information and preparing the forecasts.

本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了非欧盟居民在欧盟购物后如何申请退税的具体流程，包括在商店获取退税表格、在离境点办理海关验证以及领取退税等步骤。
21．推理判断题。根据标题下方的说明“How to get your tax refund (退税) (For non-EU residents only) (如何办理退税（仅限非欧盟居民）)” 以及后文整体流程描述的是从欧盟离境时办理退税可知，该信息面向的是在欧盟购物后即将离境的非欧盟居民。故选 D 项。
22．细节理解题。根据“At the point of departure”部分中“2. Take the labelled luggage to customs, show the goods, and have your Tax Free Form stamped. (2. 将贴有标签的行李带到海关，出示商品，并在免税表格上盖章)”以及“Goods carried in hand luggage:”部分中“2. Go to customs
after passport control, show the goods, and have your Tax Free Form stamped. (2. 在护照检查后前往海关，出示商品，并在免税表格上盖章)”可知，盖章的地点是海关。故选 A 项。
23．细节理解题。根据表格最后一栏“In a rush Mail your stamped and completed Tax Free Form and receipts back to us in the envelope provided and get your refund paid to your credit card
within three weeks. (时间紧迫？将已盖章并填写完整的免税表格和收据装入提供的信封寄回给我们，您的退款将在三周内退回到您的信用卡上)”可知，邮寄符合条件的表格和收据后，退款将在三周内到账。故选 B 项。

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了夫妻间家务分配的问题，通过研究指出共同承担家务的夫妻往往更幸福，并分析了可能的原因。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段中“A new study complicates the picture of couples’(dis) satisfaction with how they split up chores: It found that men and women in long-term partnerships tend to be
happier with their relationship when they share responsibility for each chore on their to-do list, as opposed to when each partner has their own set of tasks.(一项新研究使我们对伴侣在家务分工上的（不）满意度有了更复杂的认识：研究发现，在长期伴侣关系中，相比各自承担固定的
家务任务，双方共同分担待办清单上的每项家务时，他们对关系的满意度往往更高)”可知，共同承担每一项家务会让夫妻更幸福。故选 C 项。
25 ．推理判断题。根据第四段中“A “grass is greener” effect could also be at play; if you never have to fold the laundry, that task may start to seem more tolerable than the pile of dirty dishes
you’re about to work through.(“这山望着那山高” 的效应也可能在起作用：如果你从来不用叠衣服，那么相比起眼前要洗的那堆脏盘子，叠衣服这项家务可能就显得更容易忍受了)”可知， “这山望着那山高”效应表明未被分配的任务似乎负担更小。故选 B 项。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Yet there’s another possibility: there might be something about really understanding all the work in the home that makes people appreciate their partner and what they’re doing more deeply. Melissa Milkie, a sociologist at the University of Toronto who wasn’t involved in the study, told me, “If you’re the partner that never cleans the bathroom, you might
not realize how much energy it takes.”(然而，还有另一种可能性：或许正是真正理解了家中所有劳动，才能让人更深刻地体会到伴侣的付出。未参与这项研究的多伦多大学社会学家梅利莎·米尔基告诉我：“如果你是那个从不打扫浴室的人，你可能不会意识到这需要耗费多少精力。”)”可知，Milkie 认为如果伴侣之间分开做家务，就不会体会到伴侣的付出，可能会低估对方的工作量。故选 C 项。
27 ．推理判断题。通读全文，结合第一段“A new study complicates the picture of couples’(dis) satisfaction with how they split up chores: It found that men and women in long-term partnerships tend to be happier with their relationship when they share responsibility for each chore on their
to-do list, as opposed to when each partner has their own set of tasks. (一项新研究使我们对伴侣在家务分工上的（不）满意度有了更复杂的认识：研究发现，在长期伴侣关系中，相比各自承担固定的家务任务，双方共同分担待办清单上的每项家务时，他们对关系的满意度往往更高)”以及第二段“In one data set, Carlson, the author of the study, found that couples who
managed each chore jointly were twice as likely to say that their division of labor was fair as
couples who assigned chores to one partner or another— even though both groups split the overall workload more or less equally. (在一组数据中，该研究的作者 Carlson 发现，共同处理每项家务的夫妻认为分工公平的可能性是那些将家务分配给一方或另一方的夫妻的两倍——尽管两组夫妻分担的总工作量大致相等)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项关于夫妻家务分工与关系满意度关系的研究，解释了夫妻对家务分工的感受及其原因。故选 D 项。

本文是一篇新闻报道
文章主要报道了教育网红张雪峰因心脏骤停去世的消息
回
)。 ，
顾了他的走红经历、教育理念、引发的争议以及社会对他的评价。
28 ．推理判断题。根据第二段中“But to his tens of millions of fans — especially those from less privileged backgrounds — he embodied a rare willingness to speak harsh truths. “I come from an ordinary family,” he once wrote. “If you come from a wealthy family, you have more choices. But most families aren’t that well-off, so when choosing a major, you have to choose one that puts
food on the table.” The liberal arts Only good for service jobs, he declared. Finance Don’t
bother unless your family has connections. His 2023 comment that parents should knock their
children unconscious rather than let them study journalism sparked days of online debate. Critics said he misunderstood the point of education. His fans only grew more devoted. As one
Shanghai-based outlet noted, “The comment section is dominated by one voice: The poor need
Zhang Xuefeng.”(但对于他数以千万计的粉丝——尤其是那些来自弱势背景的粉丝来说——他体现了一种罕见的、愿意说出残酷真相的态度。“我出身于普通家庭，”他曾写道，“如果你家境优渥，选择自然更多。但大多数家庭并不富裕，所以选专业时，你必须选一个能养家糊口的。”至于人文学科？他宣称只适合从事服务性工作。金融？除非家里有关系，否则别考虑。他在 2023 年发表的“父母与其让孩子学新闻，不如把孩子打晕” 的言论，引发了网上持续数日的争论。批评者认为他误解了教育的意义，但他的粉丝却更加忠实。正如上海某媒体所言：“评论区充斥着一种声音：穷人需要张雪峰。”)”可知，张雪峰在弱势学生中受欢迎的主要原因是他说真话，道出不平等环境下获取成功的现实真相。故选 B 项。
29 ．词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“From there, he launched a consulting company, charging thousands of dollars for courses that helped students choose majors, internships, and careers based on cold-eyed calculations oftest scores, family backgrounds, and whether they prioritized money or stability. (从那时起，他创办了一家咨询公司，开设收费数千美元的课程，帮助学生根据对考试成绩、家庭背景以及他们更看重金钱还是稳定等因素的 cold-eyed calculations ，来选择专业、实习和职业方向)”中“test scores, family backgrounds, and whether they prioritized
money or stability.”可推知，根据“考试成绩、家庭背景以及他们更看重金钱还是稳定等因素”来进行的分析是基于现实因素和结果的、不带感情的、务实的评估，故 cold-eyed calculations指的是“对实际因素和结果的客观的评价” 。故选 C 项。
30 ．推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Zhu Wei 的话“The cruelest thing about the age of internet traffic is that nothing lasts even a month before it’s forgotten. Everyone will soon go back to their
usual state, endlessly striving and slogging, never able to stop. (互联网流量时代最残酷的事情是，任何事情过不了一个月就会被遗忘。每个人很快就会回到他们通常的状态，无休止地奋斗和苦干，永远无法停下来)”可知，作者引用朱伟的话是为了暗示公众注意力是短暂的，社会很快就会回到旧习惯。故选 B 项。
31 ．推理判断题。根据第一段中“From there, he launched a consulting company, charging
thousands of dollars for courses that helped students choose majors, internships, and careers based on cold-eyed calculations oftest scores, family backgrounds, and whether they prioritized money or stability. (从那时起，他创办了一家咨询公司，开设收费数千美元的课程，帮助学生根据对考试成绩、家庭背景以及他们更看重金钱还是稳定等因素的冷静分析，来选择专业、实习和职业方向)”和第二段中“If you come from a wealthy family, you have more choices. But most families aren’t that well-off, so when choosing a major, you have to choose one that puts food on the table. (如果你来自富裕家庭，你有更多选择。但大多数家庭并不那么富裕，所以在选择专业时，你必须选择一个能糊口的专业)”可知，张雪峰的教育咨询方法更实际，反映了功利主义而非理想主义的理念。故选 D 项。

本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了社会基因组学这一新兴科学领域对传统“先天vs 环境因素”辩论的重新定义，揭示了基因与环境之间相互影响、相互塑造的复杂关系。
32 ．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Since Francis Galton coined the phrase “nature vs nurture (环境因素)” 150 years ago, the debate about what makes us who we are has dominated the human
sciences.(自 150 年前弗朗西斯·高尔顿提出“先天与环境因素”这一说法以来，关于什么塑造了我们的争论便一直主导着人文科学领域)” 、第二段中“Today, however, a new scientific field is set to reshape the debate — not by declaring victory for one side or the other, nor even by
calling a tie, but rather by revealing they were never in opposition in the first place.(然而，如今一个新的科学领域即将重塑这场争论——它不是通过宣布某一方获胜，甚至也不是宣告平局，而是揭示出它们从一开始就并非对立)”和第三段中“The new field is called sociogenomics, an integration of behavioral science and genetics.(这个新领域被称为社会基因组学，是行为科学与遗传学的交叉融合)”可知，在社会基因组学出现之前，人们普遍认为先天和环境因素是对立的，即基因和环境是分开作用的。故选 A 项。
33 ．词句猜测题。根据第四段中“At other times, the nature-nurture feedback circle may be more pernicious. It’s no surprise that terrible setbacks — the loss of a job, the end of a marriage — can
cause people to fall into depression. I was astonished to learn, however, that people with a high
genetic tendency for depression are more likely to encounter these setbacks, which in turn
contribute to their depression.(在其他时候，先天与环境因素的反馈循环可能更 pernicious 。失业、婚姻破裂等可怕的挫折会导致人们陷入抑郁，这并不奇怪。然而，我惊讶地发现，那些在基因上更容易患抑郁症的人，更有可能遭遇这些挫折，而这些挫折反过来又会加重他们的抑郁)”可推知，这种先天与环境因素的反馈循环更有害的，更具有破坏性。故划线词
pernicious 意为“有害的；破坏性的” ，与 A 项“disastrous”意义相近。故选 A 项。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段中“Here is the part of this research that really blows me away. The research suggests that your partner’s genes influence your likelihood of depression almost a third as much as your own genes do. It also shows when a small number of students with a genetic
tendency to smoke are present in a high school, smoking rates can rise rapidly across an entire
grade (这项研究中真正让我震惊的是这一部分。研究表明，伴侣的基因对你患抑郁症可能性的影响几乎达到你自己基因影响的三分之一。研究还表明，当高中有少数具有吸烟遗传倾向的学生时，整个年级的吸烟率会迅速上升)”可推知，这项研究让作者感到震惊的是，我们周围人的基因可以影响我们所处的环境。故选 D 项。
35 ．推理判断题。根据第二段中“Through this new perspective, nature and nurture are not even entirely distinguishable, because genes and environment don’t operate in isolation; they influence each other and to a very real degree even create each other.(从这个新的角度来看，先天和环境因素甚至不能完全区分，因为基因和环境并不是孤立地起作用的；它们相互影响，甚至在很大程度上相互创造)” 、第六段中“Nature and nurture both shape each other, with nature influencing the way we experience nurture and nurture influencing the way our nature expresses itself. (先天与环境因素相互塑造，先天影响我们体验环境的方式，环境因素影响我们天性表达的方式)”和最后一段“Nature and nurture aren’t separate forces — they’re endlessly circling back on each other. (先天与环境因素并非两种分离的力量——它们无休止地相互循环)”可知，二者并非两种分离的力量，是相互影响，相互创造的关系。故选 C 项。

and a philosophy.(观察行为既成为一门学科，也成为了一种哲学)”承接上文，总结说明观察行为升华到了学科和哲学的高度；下文“To see was to know; To measure was to exist.(看见即认知；测量即存在)”进一步阐释观察作为学科和哲学的内涵，上下文逻辑一致。故选 C 项。
38．下文“The internet made observers of everyone, yet it also made us observable.(互联网让每个人都成为观察者，但也让我们变得可被观察)”描述了互联网时代观察的双向性——人人既在观察也在被观察，这体现了观察的网络化特征，E 选项“The 20th century transformed the act of looking into a networked activity.(20 世纪将观察行为转变为一种网络化活动)”准确概括了本 段主旨，指出观察在 20 世纪演变为网络化活动，与下文描述的互联网时代观察方式相呼应，上下文语意连贯。故选 E 项。
39 ．上文“The gaze (注视) turned inward and outward at once: we became data points, recording and being recorded in the same instant.(目光同时向内和向外：我们成为数据点，在同一瞬间记录着也被记录着)”描述了观察的双向性和数据化，G 选项“The telescope’s lens and the
smartphone’s camera are now part of the same global system of seeing.(望远镜的镜片和智能手 机的摄像头现在属于同一个全球观察系统)”承接上文，指出不同时代的观察工具已融入同一个全球观察系统，其中“same global system of seeing”与上文的网络化观察相呼应；下文“The system extends from the depths of space to the finest details of a face.(这个系统从太空深处延伸 到面部最细微的细节)”进一步说明该系统的覆盖范围，与 G 选项中的“global system”相呼应，上下文语意连贯。故选 G 项。
40 ．上文“And now, machines have begun to see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural
networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes...(而现在，机器已经开始替我们观察。卫星观测天气；神经网络观察世界。它们识别出人眼看不见的模式 )”描述了机器观察的自动化、持续性和全面性，F 选项“Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, all-around, and autonomous.(观察，曾经是一种好奇心驱使的行为，如今已变得持续、全面且自主)”承接上文，总结说明现代观察方式的新特征——持续、全面、自主，
与上文描述的卫星和神经网络观察方式相呼应，上下文逻辑一致。故选 F 项。

41．考查动词短语辨析。句意：每天，我们都会求助于互联网来做决定：我们应该住在那家酒店、在这家餐厅吃饭、乘坐那位司机的车吗？A. make decisions 做决定；B. express opinions表达意见；C. gain knowledge 获得知识；D. achieve success 取得成功。根据下文“should we stay at that hotel, eat at this restaurant, ride with that driver ”可知，后文列举的住宿、就餐、出行选择均属于日常决策，说明我们上网是为求助于互联网来做决定。故选 A。
42．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们已经如此习惯科技提供的大规模参考信息，很多人就连买一个烤面包机都要先查看评论。A. experience 经验；B. freedom 自由；C. technology 科技； D. power 力量。根据上文“We have become so used to the large-scale insights provided by” 以及常识可知，互联网属于科技，此处指我们已经习惯于科技所提供的见解。故选 C。
43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它们的可及性和明显的权威性意味着，随便挑选一件电器几乎是不可想象的——你为什么不先问问谷歌呢？A. rewarding 值得的；B. exhausting 令人疲惫的；C. effortless 不费力的；D. unthinkable 不可想象的。根据上文“Their accessibility and apparent authority mean that simply picking an appliance at random is almost”可知，人们习惯查网络参考，网络有可及性和明显的权威性，因此盲目选购家电是人们不会考虑、无法想象的事。故选 D。
44．考查固定短语辨析。句意：毕竟，跟随我们的直觉会导致我们按照隐藏的偏见行事，或者继续走死胡同。A. By contrast 相比之下；B. After all 毕竟；C. Even so 即便如此；D. In short简言之。根据下文“following our instincts can lead us to act on hidden prejudices or to keep
following dead-end paths”可知，此处是在解释为什么我们不应该仅仅依靠直觉来做决定，after all 表示“毕竟” ，用于引出解释或理由。故选 B。
45．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：在新作《别信直觉：用数据而非本能做出更好的选择》一书中，塞思 达维多维茨整合了海量网络大数据所揭示的、各类重要人生问题的可靠答案，以便我们借鉴运用，从而收获更大的成功与幸福感。A. important 重要的；B. obvious 明显的； C. factual 事实的；D. uncomfortable 令人不适的。根据后文“From work to relationships, Seth
Davidowitz looks to the data for on key decisions”可知，这本书提及工作、人 际关系等，都是人生关键重要的问题。故选 A。
46 ．考查动词词义辨析。句意：“ 虽然我们常常认为自己知道如何提升自己，但事实证明，数字并不认同，”他写道。A. remain 保持；B. disagree 不同意；C. approve 批准；D. vary 变化。根据上文“While we often think we know how to better ourselves, the numbers, it turns out”可知，句首的“While” 引导让步状语从句，表示转折。从句说“ 虽然我们常常认为自己知道如何提升自己” ，主句则应该表达与之相反的意思，即实际情况（数字）与我们的想法不一致。故选 B。
47．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：有些发现确实令人惊讶，与普遍看法相悖——例如，年轻人创业的优势被夸大了。A. misleading 误导的；B. original 原始的；C. surprising 令人惊讶的； D. experimental 实验的。根据下文“going against common belief”可知，有些发现与普遍看法相悖，因此是令人惊讶的。故选 C。
48．考查固定短语辨析。句意：然而，其他一些发现可能更符合人们的预期：我们常常高估了诸如吃零食和看电视等被动活动的乐趣。A. dependent on 依靠；B. beneficial to 有益于；
C. consistent with 符合；D. strict about 严格。根据下文“we often overestimate the pleasure of passive activities such as snacking and watching TV”可知，前文发现违背常识，此处转折，表示另一部分和预期相符，我们常常高估了吃零食和看电视等被动活动的乐趣，这是符合人们预期的。故选 C。
49．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：伦敦经济学院的研究发现，即使是放松也往往让人感觉不如预期的快乐。A. attentive 专注的；B. confused 困惑的；C. confident 自信的；D. happy 快乐的。根据上文“Research by the London School of Economics found that even relaxing tends to
make people feel less ”可知，前文提到高估被动活动的愉悦感，此处对应放松的实际幸福感、快乐感更低。故选 D。
50．考查名词词义辨析。句意：另一方面，我们低估了参观博物馆或图书馆对我们情绪的提升作用。A. boost 提升；B. cost 成本；C. risk 风险；D. boredom 无聊。根据上文“On the other hand, we underestimate the” 以及下文“from visiting museums or libraries”可知，前文被动活动幸福感偏低，对比可知文化活动能改善、提升心情。故选 A。

decisions”可知，塞思·戴维维茨主张用数据辅助选择，即数据为决策提供参考指导。故选 B。
52．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：虽然他的书很有趣，但当它挑战流行假设并证明什么对大多数人最有效时，它才最实用，这样我们所有人都可以从他们的例子中学习。A. recreational娱乐的；B. complicated 复杂的；C. popular 流行的；D. practical 实用的。根据下文“when it challenges popular assumptions and demonstrates what works best for most people, so that all of
us might learn from their example”可知，当它挑战流行假设并展示对大多数人最有效的方法，以便我们所有人都能学习，这解释了这本书的价值所在。这种能够被人们学习并应用的特性就是“实用性” 。故选 D。
53．考查名词词义辨析。句意：但他对数据有些理想化的看法可能会与一个已经被数据改变的世界产生冲突。A. conflict 冲突；B. conversation 对话；C. balance 平衡；D. relationship 关系。根据下文“but nor do they reveal the complete, complex picture, especially when they are
controlled by corporate interests”可知，下文指出数据存在局限性、受企业利益操控，说明塞思·戴维维茨的理想数据观和现实存在矛盾。故选 A。
54 ．考查名词词义辨析。句意：数字可能不会说谎，正如塞思·戴维维茨所写的那样——但它们也没有揭示出完整、复杂的画面，尤其是当它们被企业利益控制时。A. Books 书籍；
B. Resources 资源；C. Numbers 数字；D. Instincts 直觉。根据上文“as Seth Davidowitz writes — but nor do they reveal the complete, complex picture” 以及前文多次提到的“numbers”可知，全文核心围绕数据对比直觉展开，此处指代前文反复提及的数字，此处指数字可能不会说谎，但也没有揭示出完整、复杂的画面。故选 C。
55．考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我们的行为已经在以我们没有意识到的方式被数据塑造时，也许成功并不总是做出正确决定的问题。A. identity 身份；B. behaviour 行为；C. status 地位； D. reputation 名声。根据下文“is already being shaped by data in ways of which we aren’t aware”可知，日常生活中依靠数据做各类选择、被数据影响生活方式，都属于行为层面的塑造，此处指我们的行为已经在以我们没有意识到的方式被数据塑造。故选 B。

66 ．例文
JUST SPEAK CONFIDENTLY
I firmly believe there is no need to learn foreign accents when practicing oral English. The most important thing for speaking is to make ourselves understood clearly, and a slight local
accent will never block effective communication, while confidence is the key to fluent speaking
I once wasted lots of time copying American accents, which made me so nervous that I
often stuttered in conversations. Later, I gave up blind imitation and focused on expressing myself confidently. My foreign teacher said my talks became much more natural and smooth. So
speaking with confidence is far more important than chasing a perfect foreign accent.

Knowing the disc was on display in the library, Mullaney immediately went there.
Mullaney, who had been eagerly anticipating this moment, examined the disc carefully and
confirmed that it was indeed the missing part of the MingKwai typewriter. He was thrilled to see it in person and thanked David for preserving such a valuable piece of history. Mullaney explained the significance of the disc, saying that it was not just a relic but a key to understanding the early days of Chinese typing technology.

believed that the disc belonged in a place where it could be studied and appreciated by more
people. Mullaney was grateful for David’s generosity and promised that the disc would be used to shed light on the history of Chinese typewriters. He said that what David did was really

David’s donation, the research on the MingKwai typewriter could continue, and its story could be shared with the world.
