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.
C
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 of test 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 of it 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 of who 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
A. B. C. D.

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
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 ____41____: 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 ____42____, 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 ____43____ — 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. ____44____, 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 ____45____ 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, ____46____,” he writes.
Some findings are indeed ____47____, going against common belief — for example, the overstated advantage of youth in starting a business. Others, however, may be more ____48____ 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 ____49____ than anticipated. On the other hand, we underestimate the ____50____ to our mood from visiting museums or libraries.
From work to relationships, Seth Davidowitz looks to the data for ____51____ 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 ____52____ 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 ____53____ with a world already transformed by it. ____54____ 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 ____55____ 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.
41. A. make decisions B. express opinions C. gain knowledge D. achieve success
42. A. experience B. freedom C. technology D. power
43. A. rewarding B. exhausting C. effortless D. unthinkable
44. A. By contrast B. After all C. Even so D. In short
45. A. important B. obvious C. factual D. uncomfortable
46. A. remain B. disagree C. approve D. vary
47. A. misleading B. original C. surprising D. experimental
48. A. dependent on B. beneficial to C. consistent with D. strict about
49. A. attentive B. confused C. confident D. happy
50. A. boost B. cost C. risk D. boredom
51. A. convenience B. guidance C. diversity D. precision
52. A. recreational B. complicated C. popular D. practical
53. A. conflict B. conversation C. balance D. relationship
54. A. Books B. Resources C. Numbers D. Instincts
55. A. identity B. behaviour C. status D. reputation

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.

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.

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.
【答案】
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.
After the exhibition, David decided to donate it to Stanford for further research. He 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 meaningful, for it would help more people learn about the history of Chinese typewriters. With David’s donation, the research on the MingKwai typewriter could continue, and its story could be shared with the world.
