A subway line that links downtown Beijing with Daxing International Airport in the Chinese capital now allows passengers to enter and exit stations by just scanning the palm of a hand, setting an example of how using biometric data in public transportation can make commuting more convenient.
The pilot program was launched on Sunday on the Daxing Airport Express subway line to spare passengers the trouble of swiping a card (刷卡) or scanning a QR code to catch a train , the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport said.
Any commuter aged 14 and above can first register the print of either palm through a simple, automated process and provide relevant information to authorize the payment gateway of WeChat, a popular messaging app in China. Once the palm print is registered, a commuter can scan the palm at any automated ticket gate to pass through. The fare is automatically paid after exit. Besides, the registration is a one-time process and doesn’t require renewal.
“Passengers can just place a palm above the scanning machine when entering or exiting a subway station. The ticket gate will open if the palm scan matches the palm print registered voluntarily,” said Zhang Li, an expert at the Beijing Metro Network Control Center.
The biometric method combines the use of palm print and vein mapping, which are different for every individual. Therefore, data masking and encryption (加密) technologies have been applied to protect user information.
Xin Jianhua, general manager of the public service center at WeChat Pay, said palm scans can be gradually used in offices, schools, gyms and restaurants, as it requires no contact and is therefore safer and more efficient. “Currently, it is very useful for the elderly and those who have physical limitations,” he said. “Use of biometric data allows passengers to take subway trains if they do not have cash or when they forget their subway cards,” he added.

Some studies estimate that by 2025, about 35.7 million Americans or 22% of the workforce will be remote workers. Now more people are choosing to welcome a location-independent, technology-enabled lifestyle that allows them to travel and work remotely. They are called digital nomads (数字游民), and the trend is becoming more and more widespread.
The growing popularity of this location-independent lifestyle has stimulated an interest in digital nomad visas. As a result, countries are introducing visa options to lure foreigners for extended stays. For example, Indonesia announced that the country is developing a new visa that would be valid for five years — longer than any other digital nomad visa currently available. The emergence of digital nomad visas signifies a progressive response to the rising demand for this new lifestyle.
Meanwhile, the conventional image of digital nomads is undergoing a transformation. Digital nomads used to be thought of as twenty-somethings backpacking from hostel (旅舍) to hostel, looking for anywhere they could plug in their laptop. But flexible work and homeschooling have helped introduce a new type of digital nomad that wants to see the world and create lasting memories with their families. It’s called the “anywhere worker”. Most anywhere workers can be found in high-tech jobs, with 61% working full-time. Almost half of people in this category are married, and, unlike the typical digital nomad, 70% are parents who take their families with them.
Consistent with the changing image of digital nomads, there is also a shift from valuing possessions to focusing on experiences. Millennials (千禧一代), in particular, are fueling this trend. Rather than spend money on expensive watches or luxury cars, younger generations prefer to invest in experiences like concerts, rock climbing and traveling. According to one study, more than three in four Millennials would rather spend their hard-earned money on a thrilling experience or event over buying a product.
As remote work opportunities increase, the trend of living a digital nomadic lifestyle is expected to continue growing, allowing more individuals to pursue their dream lifestyles.

A．The shopping habits of Millennials.
B．The analysis of Millennials’ image.
C．The changing values of digital nomads.
D．The benefits of a digital nomadic lifestyle.
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.

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.
15．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.
You shouldn’t need a PowerPoint presentation to explain why getting a cat is a great idea, but Shana, a little girl, wasn’t taking any chances. She really, really wanted her parents to adopt a kitty, and she was willing to go to great lengths to convince them! So, she put together a very professional and educational slideshow (幻灯片) with all the related facts. Her arguments were pretty solid!
For example, Shana explained that she wasn’t the only one in the family who would benefit from getting a kitty. All her brothers and sisters wanted one, too! Another point was her claim that “It would be so cute, please.” Additionally, she reminded her parents that they still owed her one. “Please, seriously you promised me a hamster (仓鼠) five years ago but that never happened, just let me have this,” the child wrote. She also noted that pets can help relieve stress, which was a crucially persuasive point.
Throughout the PowerPoint, the little girl made several promises to take full responsibility for the cat’s health and well-being. She assured her parents that she had done her homework on animal care, and she understood what she was signing up for.
Dad Christopher Doyle thought that his daughter’s PowerPoint on adopting a cat was pretty clever. In fact, he thought that the little girl’s determination was so cute, he just had to post her presentation on social media.
Would this PowerPoint be enough to earn the girl a cat In case you’re wondering, it worked! Dad shared in a later post that the family was filling out adoption paperwork in order to bring home a kitty. Of course, this was bound to happen. After all, who could refuse such a well-researched PowerPoint The family ended up adopting a rescue kitty, whom the kids named Oliver.
16．What do the underlined words “go to great lengths” mean in paragraph 1
A．Spare no effort. B．Go to extremes.
C．Waste a lot of time. D．Change her mind.
17．Which is the key point used by Shana to persuade her parents
A．She has learned enough about animal care.
B．All the family members are dying for a cat.
C．Raising pets like cats helps reduce pressure.
D．Her parents did owe her one pet in the past.
18．How did Doyle feel about his daughter’s slideshow
A．Awkward. B．Appreciative. C．Surprised. D．Curious.
19．What can we learn from Shana’s story
A．Perseverance changed parents’ minds. B．Creative solutions help to settle problems.
C．Parents should keep promises to kids. D．A road to success is full of ups and downs.
Many people miss the sweet, rich taste of the tomatoes they ate in childhood and wonder why store-bought ones today have little flavor. The main reason is that modern farming has focused more on producing large amounts than on improving taste. But Chinese scientists have recently made an important discovery that may soon change this.
A team led by Professor Hang Sanwen from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences has found a way to bring back the delicious flavor of tomatoes without lowering production. They discovered how to genetically “release the sugar brake” in tomatoes, making them much sweeter while still keeping high production. This breakthrough solves a long-standing problem in farming — how to achieve both good quantity and good quality.
The study began with taste tests of more than 100 types of tomatoes. Scientists identified 33 key compounds (化合物) that create flavor. They then examined these compounds in 400 tomato varieties from around the world and carried out detailed genetic research. In the process, they found 49 genes linked to tomato flavor, including two that control sugar levels.
The key discovery is that turning off these two genes could raise sugar levels by up to 30%. More importantly, this change does not affect the tomatoes’ size, look, or production. “This result shows the possibility of using the great genetic diversity found in wild species, which has been partly lost in affected varieties, to improve modern ones,” said Christophe Rothan, a fruit biologist at the French National Institute of Agricultural Research.
The study comes at the right time, as more people are asking for better-tasting vegetables. Thanks to this research, suppliers may be able to offer sweeter tomatoes without worrying about a drop in fruit weight or production. The team hopes that these improved tomatoes will hit the market in the near future, according to the study published in Nature.

22．Which statement may Christophe Rothan agree with
A．Modern varieties are difficult to improve. B．Genetic diversity in tomatoes is decreasing.
C．Cultivated tomatoes are better than wild ones. D．Wild species offer valuable genetic resources.
23．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text

In the 19th century, the harp (竖琴) was Ireland’s main musical instrument, but it was overshadowed quickly by the piano, which was stylish and easier to play. The harp’s popularity faded rapidly, highlighting how new technologies often replace old ones without much reflection. The idea is explored in Christine Rosen’s book, “The Extinction of Experience”.
Rosen, a historian, warns about social consequences of technological advancements. She inspires readers to consider both the gains and losses when embracing new technologies. Rosen acknowledges the benefits of the internet but criticizes how old ways of doing things are dying without proper acknowledgment.
Being human involves physical interaction and complex actions, but modern technologies, like screens, require little movement and end human contact. Tasks like taking pictures can now be done with a finger touch. Rosen argues that each activity lost takes away a small part of our experience, leading to engineered, homogenized (同质化) behaviors. She also notes that social media, while connecting people, can also isolate them, leading to mass loneliness. She praises the importance of activities like spending time with others, chatting with strangers, and daydreaming, which are becoming less common.
Picking up a smartphone has an opportunity cost; it loses various activities, interactions, and interests. Trading momentary boredom for screen-based pleasure can result in missed insights or recollections that could enrich one’s life. Avoiding social interactions can lead to a loss of social skills.
Rosen is particularly concerned about the shift from handwriting to typing on keyboards. Many people who learned handwriting as children find it tough to write by hand, and younger generations can’t read or write it at all. This shift also means losing aesthetic pleasures and the benefits of small muscular movements that aid in reading and remembering information. Rosen sees the decline of handwriting as a symbol of how thoughtlessly we transition between old and new technologies.
27．What is the case of the harp used to prove
A．Ireland has abandoned its cultural traditions.
B．Tech brings about totally different experience.
C．People’s tastes in musical instruments change quickly.
D．Humans tend to embrace new tech without deep thought.
28．How does Rosen find social media
A．They can lift people’s spirits. B．They personalize human experience.
C．They bond people but causing loneliness. D．They speed meaningful human interactions.
29．What can be inferred about handwriting from paragraph 5
A．Typing has more advantages over it. B．Young generations no longer write it.
C．It boosts abilities via physical movements. D．It is being abandoned due to its complexity.
30．What is probably the best title for the text
A．Handwriting Decline in Digital Era B．Loss of Human Experience in Tech Age
C．The Change of Music: From Harps to Pianos D．The Rise of Innovation: Embracing a New Era
On June 4, 2025, Wei Dongyi, a well-known mathematics professor at Peking University, launched his official social media account. Verified (证实) by the platform and supported by his family, the account shares mathematical knowledge, interacts with the public, and corrects false information.
Wei is renowned for his exceptional mathematical abilities. As a high school student, he won two gold medals with full marks at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 2008 and 2009, setting a Chinese record in the process. His unique “Wei Method” surprised his peers and experts alike. At the age of 28, he became a professor at Peking University, specializing in complex mathematical problems. His research has achieved significant breakthroughs, with publications in top-tier (顶尖的) academic journals.
The new account posts math content suitable for all levels. His first video, in which he simply says, “Hello, I’m Wei Dongyi”, attracted over 10 million followers within three days (by June 7). Gaokao students flooded the comments section with exam-related wishes, turning it into a virtual “wishing pool”.
Wei’s family emphasizes that the account is intended for sharing knowledge, not for making a profit. Despite his fame, he leads a modest lifestyle, often seen carrying steamed buns (馒头) and water, and remains focused on teaching.
Through this initiative, Wei hopes to foster a love of math among young people. By sharing his expertise, he aims to inspire a deeper interest in the subject.

We hear them daily, whether it’s ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ from your mom or ‘words fail me’ for something amazing. These colorful gems (宝石), idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations.
Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective.
One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension.
Another two idioms are also worth mentioning. Imagine you have a deadline for a five-page essay that you haven’t ‘gotten the ball rolling’. You might say you’re ‘in a pickle’, an idiom for a difficult situation with no obvious solution. Now, consider that same issue with the essay. You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling.
Idioms are crucial for communication in music, literature, or just in everyday conversations. Beyond this, these figures of speech are vital to understand what others mean if they use them. Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms.
35．What do we know about idioms from the first two paragraphs
A．Idioms make conversations more demanding.
B．Idioms are challenging to recall from our minds.
C．Idioms are easy to perceive from separate words.
D．Idioms add flavor and efficiency to communication.
36．What does the author’s story imply in Paragraph 3
A．The girl was unreasonable for reporting.
B．Teachers are supposed to know all the idioms.
C．Idioms can cause confusion in a group project.
D．Understanding idioms prevents misunderstandings.
37．If you want to strengthen optimism in a bad situation, which idiom is appropriate
A．‘in a pickle’ B．‘keep your shirt on’
C．‘every cloud has a silver lining’ D．‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’
38．What does the author focus on in the last paragraph
A．Appealing for actions. B．Offering advice.
C．Pushing literal speech. D．Applying idioms to arts.
It was just after lunchtime service in a restaurant. The heat was unbearable and I was standing on a ladder and cleaning the hood (抽油烟机) blackened by cooking smoke. Despite my gloves, the chemicals caused superficial burns on my hands, and I felt a sharp pain as sweat went down my face. At that moment, I realized I couldn’t keep doing such jobs for the rest of my life. I needed a career I was passionate about—and I’d been crazy about fishing since my childhood, when my older brother would take me to catch trout (鳟鱼).
I grew up in a large working-class family and left school at 19. For several years, I was an unknown worker, sanding floors in shopping malls in the middle of the night and cleaning pest-infested kitchens. I took pride in doing difficult, invisible jobs—but something still stirred (搅动) in me whenever I went fishing.
I was 24 when I felt I needed a shift. So after completing a science-based diploma (文凭) for adults, I started a biology degree at university, sustaining myself with the money I’d saved while working. My first term was cruel. I failed physics, biostatistics, and even introductory ecology, but I was determined to pursue my dream and gradually my grades improved.
Eventually, I got into a master’s program in biodiversity management. During the first week, my supervisor handed me a paper on brown trout in the Kerguelen Islands. I was ecstatic. “They’re paying me to research salmonid!” I told my parents that night. For the first time, I felt like I’d truly made it.
I credit the hours I spent cleaning kitchens for giving me the discipline, patience, precision, and will to push on as I struggled through those first years of studying. I’m now in the middle of a Ph.D．studying how climate change is affecting arctic char (鲑). I’m living a dream, but I also know it takes much hard work to get here. Every day, I still feel the same desire to learn and improve.

The Asch Conformity Experiments, conducted by psychologist Solomon Asch in the 1950s, demonstrated the power of conformity (从众) in groups.
In the experiments, groups of university students were asked to participate in a perception test. The participants of the experiment were presented with a card with a simple vertical black line on it. Then, they were given a second card with three lines of varying length labeled A, B, and C． One line on the second card was the same length as that on the first, and the other two lines were obviously longer and shorter.
Participants were asked to state out loud in front of each other which line, A, B, or C, matched the length of the line on the first card.
Asch intended to see if the real participant would be pressured to answer incorrectly in the instances when the confederates did so, or whether their belief in their own perception and correctness would outweigh the social pressure provided by the responses of the other group members.
Asch found that one-third of real participants gave the same wrong answers as the confederates at least half the time. Forty percent gave some wrong answers, and only one-fourth gave correct answers in defiance of the pressure to conform to the wrong answers provided by the group.
In interviews following the trials, Asch found that those who answered incorrectly admitted that they knew that they had the correct answer, but conformed to the incorrect answer because they didn’t want to break from the majority.

46．Why did the real participants give a wrong answer
A．They misunderstood the question. B．They failed to resist group influence.
C．They believed their own judgment. D．They wanted to be different.
I cannot remember a point in my life when I desired anything other than becoming a teacher. At the beginning of my senior year in high school, I began applying to the University of Connecticut, not realizing how expensive my dream was. I came from a middle-class family, and it seemed as though we’d always struggled to make ends meet.
I wasn’t the smartest person in my class but I was determined. I applied for every scholarship I could get my hands on. And then my guidance counselor told me about the financial aid system. I applied, but I didn’t think I would qualify for that either.
After the holidays, my friends started receiving their acceptance letters from colleges, and I eagerly anticipated mine. Finally, a letter arrived from the University of Connecticut. Feelings of fear and joy overwhelmed me when I opened the envelope with trembling hands. I had done it! I had been working a full-time job, but that was barely enough to pay for tuition, and it was impossible for my parents to finance my education.
Months went by before a letter from the financial aid office arrived. I opened it eagerly, but it was only a letter requesting more information to process my application. This happened over and over, and my hopes kept getting shot down. Finally, a large envelope arrived, the one that would determine whether I could attend college. Not only was financial aid going to help me out with my expenses, but also I won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I had actually made my dream come true.
I am now a junior at the University of Connecticut, pursuing a degree in English.

Today, the number of Asian elephants seems to be going up in some places. By 2021, the elephant population in Sri Lanka was back to nearly 6,000. But there’s a bigger problem: the human population has grown even faster. Sri Lanka is about 25,000 square miles, but it has almost 22 million people. That means elephants in Sri Lanka don’t have much space to move around. The land they used to live on has been turned into towns and farms. So humans and elephants are fighting more and more. When elephants find farmers’ crops, the farmers often lose a lot of money. Sometimes, these fights even get dangerous.
It all comes down to this riddle: How can an enormous animal keep living well on a continent where space is only getting more limited The answer might lie in understanding the elephants themselves, not just as a species but as individuals.
Since January 2019, Sateesh Venkatesh, a graduate student who is researching elephants, and his team have been giving the PVC-pipe test to elephants to observe their problem-solving styles. In the test, apples had been placed inside the pipes, and the elephants’ task was to get the apples out. Do elephants that approached the pipe hesitantly also stay farther from farmers’ fields Do the ones who tore at the pipe forcefully also brave the firecrackers (鞭炮) and flashing lights the farmers set off to scare them away at night
If elephants who are risk-takers can be identified, maybe the scientists will be able to figure out how to better keep them out of farms and thus reduce conflict with people. Besides, learning all the different methods elephants employ to take down an electric fence would probably be helpful for designing better fences.
“It’s all very idealistic at this point, I have to admit,” says Venkatesh. “But it’s a fresh approach. When a child, for example, is told they can’t have the cookies, he still wants a cookie. But we don’t put up an electric fence in the kitchen to prevent our children. We come up with non-harmful, positive ways to keep them away from the cookies. I think we can do the same for elephants.”

It is often said that the high school period is one of the most important stages that an individual will experience, and is often seen as a critical and life-shaping time. During this period, people often begin to discover what is meaningful to them and how they plan to continue living their lives. Volunteering at St. Clare’s Hospital has helped me form a positive experience during my high school years.
When I first began volunteering, I was very nervous about meeting new people and being pushed outside of my comfort zone. At the beginning of my volunteering experience, I was rather timid and not very outgoing. Fortunately, as time went by, I discovered how to introduce myself to new volunteers, to go out of my way to make patients feel welcome, and to extend the hand of friendship to others. I learned to respect diversity, which turned out to be particularly helpful in the real world.
My volunteering experience at the hospital has led me to believe that my love and sympathy for the disabled can brighten up the day of those lonely patients. There is another valuable lesson I have learned from the volunteer program: The significance of “service” involves making a difference in the lives of others and contributing to the harmony of the community. Now I feel content each time I finish my shift. This positive feeling has motivated me to continue carrying on this worthwhile cause, and has become something that I view as having irreplaceable importance to my life.
It’s a great pity that many teenagers in my generation have not had experiences similar to mine and therefore missed out on some of the important lessons that can be learned in life. Knowing that I made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame. And, to the best of my ability, I will follow this path of service throughout my life.

She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension. (我清楚记得的一个成语是“别露出破绽”。这件事发生在二年级时，当时我们正在进行一个小组项目。当我抱怨那个情绪暴躁的女孩不配合时，她生气了。我告诉她“保持冷静”，但她误解了我的意思，并把这个话告诉了我们的老师。她不明白这个成语的意思，我觉得这很不合理。这个成语实际上源于19世纪，那时男人在争吵或打架前需要脱掉衬衫。“别露出破绽”这个说法是用来避免进一步的紧张局面的)”可知，作者的故事在第3段中暗示了理解习语可以防止误解。故选D。
37．推理判断题。根据第四段“You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess.

(天气热得让人难以忍受，我站在梯子上清理被油烟熏黑的抽油烟机。尽管戴着手套，化学物质还是在我手上造成了轻度灼伤，汗水流到脸上时我感到一阵剧痛。就在那一刻，我意识到我不能一辈子都做这样的工作)”可知，工作时极度的身体不适促使作者寻求职业转变。故选B项。
40．推理判断题。根据第三段“My first term was cruel. I failed physics, biostatistics, and even introductory ecology, but I was determined to pursue my dream and gradually my grades improved.(我的第一学期很残酷。我物理、生物统计学甚至基础生态学都不及格，但我决心追求我的梦想，渐渐地我的成绩提高了)”可知，作者在大学最初遇到困难，但坚持不懈。故选C项。
41．词义猜测题。根据第四段““They’re paying me to research salmonid!” I told my parents that night. For the first time, I felt like I’d truly made it.(“他们付钱让我研究鲑科鱼类！”那天晚上我告诉父母。我第一次觉得自己真的成功了)”可知，作者对能研究自己喜欢的鱼感到非常高兴，所以“ecstatic”意思是“狂喜的”，与A选项“Pleased”意思相符。故选A项。
42．细节理解题。根据最后一段“I credit the hours I spent cleaning kitchens for giving me the discipline, patience, precision, and will to push on as I struggled through those first years of studying.(我认为我花在清洁厨房的时间培养了我的自律、耐心、精准和在最初几年学习中坚持下去的意志)”可知，作者早期的工作培养了对他学习有用的个人品质。故选D项。
43．D 44．C 45．A 46．B
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了心理学家索洛蒙·阿什的实验揭示了从众行为的力量，有些参与者选择错误答案是出于遵循大多数人的心理，而放弃了自己正确的判断。
43．细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants were asked to state out loud in front of each other which line, A, B, or C, matched the length of the line on the first card.(参与者被要求在众人面前大声说出哪一条线（A、B 或 C）与第一张卡片上的线条长度相匹配)”可知，参与者被要求在实验中找出两条长度相同的线。故选D。
44．主旨大意题。根据第四段“Asch intended to see if the real participant would be pressured to answer incorrectly in the instances when the confederates did so, or whether their belief in their own perception and correctness would outweigh the social pressure provided by the responses of the other group members.(阿什旨在探究，在那些同盟者给出错误答案的情况下，真正的参与者是否会受到压力而做出错误回答，还是说他们对自己所感知内容以及正确性的信念会比其他小组成员的反应所施加的社会压力更为强大)”可知，Asch是要通过实验来看一下参与者面对压力的反应，即本段主要讲的是实验的目的。故选C。
45．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Asch found that one-third of real participants gave the same wrong answers as the confederates at least half the time. Forty percent gave some wrong answers (Asch发现，三分之一的真实参与者至少有一半的时间给出了与同伙相同的错误答案。40%的人给出了一些错误的答案)”可知，这是在描述受到压力影响的人给出的答案，再由only一词可知，接下来谈的应该是不顾压力影响的人给出的答案，因此，划线短语意为“无视，不顾”。故选A。
46．细节理解题。根据最后一段“In interviews following the trials, Asch found that those who answered incorrectly admitted that they knew that they had the correct answer, but conformed to the incorrect answer because they didn’t want to break from the majority.(在试验结束后进行的访谈中，阿什发现，那些给出错误答案的人承认他们知道自己答案是正确的，但他们还是选择了错误的答案，是因为他们不想违背大多数人的意见)”可知，真正的参与者给出了错误的答案是因为他们未能抵制群体的影响。故选B。
47．A 48．D 49．C 50．B

48．细节理解题。根据第四段“Not only was financial aid going to help me out with my expenses, but also I won two of the scholarships I had applied for! I had actually made my dream come true.(不仅经济援助能够帮助我解决生活费用问题，而且我还获得了自己申请的两份奖学金！我终于让自己的梦想成真了)”可知，通过申请奖学金和经济援助作者得到了学费。故选D。
