“Good morning, Miss Bolz.” A friendly young man greeted me as he placed a breakfast tray next to my bed. I had been in hospital for several days because of breathing problems, and my body was still very weak. Now I was in a recovery home. I hated staying here until I got strong enough to go back to my apartment. Most patients here were much older than me. The two elderly women sharing my room kept me awake every night with their moans and screams. I felt tired and worried.
Luckily, there was one good thing: the food was delicious. The medicine I took made me very hungry, so I was thankful for three nice meals each day. “You gave me oatmeal again. Thanks for remembering it’s my favourite!” I told the young man. “Actually, we cook oatmeal for everyone every morning, but no one has ever told me they like it,” he replied, looking surprised. “Everyone in the kitchen works very hard. It’s nice to hear a compliment for a change. Usually, patients complain about the food.”
I wanted to encourage him and his workmates. I quickly wrote a compliment on the back of the breakfast menu and showed it to him. He read it, smiled, and promised to share it with the kitchen staff. Then I decided I would write a thank-you note to the kitchen after every meal. Writing these notes helped take my mind off my illness and my noisy roommates. It also gave me something to look forward to.
Each day, I enjoyed seeing the surprise and happiness on the faces of the staff when they found my notes. When I finally left the recovery home, the food service director came to say goodbye. “We’ve kept all your notes,” he said. “They’re on the bulletin board where everyone can read them. Your kind words have touched and encouraged us all.”
I smiled back. Being a patient here had been hard, but writing notes of gratitude gave me something positive to do. I decided to continue this habit. Taking time to thank others had become a part of my life—— and for that, I was truly grateful.
24．Why did the author dislike the recovery home at first
A. The food there was terrible. B. The young man was unfriendly.
C. She missed cooking for herself. D. Her roommates disturbed her rest.
25．What can be inferred about the kitchen staff from the young man’s words
A. They rarely received positive feedback.
B. They were planning to change the menu.
C. They recorded each patient’s diet.
D. They only cooked oatmeal for the author
26．What effect did writing thank-you notes have
A. It helped her fully recover from illness.
B. It improved her well-being and motivated the staff.
C. It made her popular among other patients.
D. It offered practical suggestions to the staff.
27．What is the author’s main message
A. Hospital food has improved greatly.
B. A little gratitude benefits both sides.
C. Elderly patients need better care.
D. Positive thinking speeds up recovery.
Human history is the story of seeing. Each invention that sharpened our vision—— from glass lenses to satellites—— extended perception and redrew the borders of the known. When a Dutch craftsman fitted two lenses into a tube in 1608, he did not simply enlarge distant objects; he expanded the human mind. Observation ceased to be passive. We no longer merely looked—— we searched.
Over centuries, instruments multiplied: microscopes, cameras, telescopes, sensors, and finally algorithms (算法). Each revealed a new layer of reality—— the cell, the atom, the DNA helix, the galaxy. To see was to know, to measure was to exist. Yet each discovery also reminded us how small we are.
The 20th century made observation a networked activity. The internet made everyone an observer, yet also observable. We became data points, recording and being recorded at once. The telescope and the smartphone camera are now part of the same global apparatus—— seeing from deep space to the intimacy of a face.
Now, machines see for us. Satellites watch the weather; neural networks watch the world. They identify patterns invisible to human eyes—— galactic movements, disease signatures, city habits. Observation, once an act of curiosity, has become continuous, ambitious, and autonomous.
When the first image of a black hole appeared, humanity witnessed itself witnessing the unseeable. The James Webb Telescope translates ancient light into revelation. But these triumphs carry irony: as our instruments grow more powerful, our dependence on them grows absolute.
Perhaps the ultimate horizon of observation is not out among the stars, but here—— in the recognition that seeing is never neutral. Every gaze shapes what it beholds. The universe may be infinite, but so too is the human desire to understand what it means to look.
28．What is the significance of the invention made in 1608
A. It allowed people to see farther.
B. It was the first use of lenses to enlarge objects.
C. It marked the shift from looking to searching.
D. It proved that observation requires advanced instruments.
29．What does the underlined word “apparatus” in paragraph 3 mean
A. instrument B. agency C. system D. initiative
30．What is ironic about the achievements of modern observation
A. Ancient light reveals nothing new.
B. Humans can finally see the unseeable.
C. The more we see, the less independent we are.
D. Instruments grow stronger as we depend on them.
31．What best describes the author’s attitude towards human observation
A. The sky is the limit.
B. Every rose has its thorn.
C. What you see is what you get.
D. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
In a study covering 13 languages, 12 research teams, and 12 countries across 5 continents, the finding held true across all these diverse contexts: People prefer self-reliant strategies more than advice-oriented or other strategies.
By design, the study posed six everyday dilemmas. Anthropologists (人类学家), philosophers, and linguists (语言学家) within these research teams cooperated globally and on the ground to better engage with their particular sample study group. Their intention was to find out how various peoples and cultures arrived at decisions, whether through personal reflection or by considering others’ opinions.
“It is important to study how people prefer to make choices —— by taking advice, by following the wisdom of crowds, by trusting their first reactions, or by relying on their own reasoning —— because these preferences likely influence how people actually make decisions and how they respond to how institutions frame choices for them,” says senior author Edouard Machery, a professor of history and philosophy of science.
The research teams wrote that the universality of their finding regarding this self-reliance preference requires a rethinking of the long-held assumption in cultural psychology about independent and interdependent agency. Even the most interdependent groups in the study showed a leaning toward private reflection. “Whereas interdependent cultures were more likely to consider advice than independent cultures, even in the most independent groups the default (默认的) response was to go it alone, even if it contradicted friends’ or family’s recommendations,” lead author Igor Grossmann says.
Machery says, “One might think that if anything should vary across cultures and environments, it is preferences about how to make a decision. But that appears not to be the case. We were also surprised to find that people had little appetite for the wisdom of crowds despite the fact that often, though not always, following the wisdom of crowds leads to better decisions.”
“We also observed another near-universal tendency: When asking the same people whom they think people from their culture would choose, people were more likely to consider their friends’ advice,” Grossmann says.
32．What is the core finding of the study
A. Cultural backgrounds shape decision-making strategies.
B. Self-reliant decision-making is preferred cross-culturally.
C. Decision-making patterns vary greatly across continents.
D. Friends’ advice is valued by people from different cultures.
33．Why does Machery think studying decision-making preferences matters
A. It promotes trust in crowd wisdom.
B. It strengthens independent cultural values.
C. It affects people’s real decisions and reactions.
D. It helps improve institutional decision systems.
34．What can we learn about interdependent cultures from Grossmann’s words
A. They totally reject suggestions from others.
B. They hardly ever depend on their own thinking.
C. They consider advice more than independent cultures.
D. They have the same decision patterns as independent cultures.
35．Which is the best title for the text
A. Cultural Differences in Decision-Making
B. The Value of Following Crowd Wisdom
C. Strategies for Solving Daily Dilemmas
D. Self-Reliance: A Universal Decision Preference
三、七选五
36．When buying a health-tracking watch, I had to decide whether I wanted the option to send and receive messages directly from my wrist. I immediately felt a looming headache at the thought of yet another device—— this one fastened to my body—— delivering constant distractions. In a world flooded with interruptions, our attention has become a commodity. ①____________
There is, however, a cure. Research suggests that in’flow’, we can become up to 500% more productive. ②____________ Our skills are perfectly balanced with the level of challenge, resulting in effortless success.
But what if we shouldn’t put productivity at the top of our agenda Flow offers far more. ③____________ Flow fosters a sense of control, reduces self-consciousness, and creates a feeling of immersion as our awareness of time softens. It increases playfulness, creativity, and even empathy. Remarkably, it slows brainwave activity, shifting us into a meditative, ‘rest and digest’ mode.
So how do we enter flow Try a seven-day experiment: spend 20 minutes daily on something you genuinely enjoy and feel skilled at—— crocheting, painting, sport, creative writing. Track your mood and your experience of time. ④____________ Find the sweet spot between skill and challenge: too great a challenge brings stress; too little, boredom.
When approached intentionally, cultivating flow becomes a form of mental discipline. ⑤____________ Happy flowing!
A. Don’t measure performance.
B. Don’t worry if they seem unrelated to flow.
C. And it costs us not only time, but productivity.
D. What if we used it to enhance our wellbeing
E. In this state, we are deeply absorbed in a task.
F. It is as essential to wellbeing as sleep routine is to rest.
G. It could be used to improve our mental performance as well.

七、读后续写
54．I heard a loud noise of tires and a heavy crash as my car was pushed into the middle of the lane. It took only seconds to realize what had happened——I had been hit while exiting the underground parking lot near my office. My heart raced as I stepped out to see the damage. The back of my car was scratched and dented (有凹痕的).
The other driver, a man, looked nervous and kept apologizing. “I am so sorry, miss. Are you okay ” After checking the damage, I was upset but didn’t want to argue. I suggested we exchange insurance information. Neither of us was hurt, so we agreed to file reports at the police station.
At the station, I told the officer my frustration. He walked out to check my car and said repairs could cost a lot, adding that I should be more careful next time. I was still angry but said nothing.
Still angry the next day at work, I complained to anyone who would listen. My coworker tried to calm me down, but I wouldn’t listen. This anger stayed with me for days. Then my insurance agent called. The news was worse: since drivers on the road have the right of way, I was considered at fault. The other driver could get money from my insurance, and I would have to pay more for my insurance later.
I argued that he had been driving too fast——I had clearly heard his brakes. The agent said without a witness, nothing could be done. I hung up, feeling even angrier than before.
Then my agent called again with good news. The man had decided not to file a claim. Instead, he would pay for his own repairs. He told his agent he didn’t want me to be punished. Apparently, he said I shouldn’t suffer because of the accident.

17．答案：A

18．答案：B

19．答案：C
解析：
20．答案：C
解析：M: Hi, everyone. I’m a weather forecaster, which means I study what happens in the atmosphere and the weather conditions that occur on Earth. People are always surprised to learn that forecasters aren’t just involved in weather reporting on TV, but they could also work at a radio station, too.
I often get asked how I got interested in weather. Believe it or not, as a teenager, I became nervous of thunderstorms, and I’d often check the forecasts to see if any were coming. From there, my interest developed.
If you are thinking of going into weather forecasting, there are some important skills you’ll need. You have to be good at science, of course. The essential thing is having the ability to make sense of patterns. You won’t go too far wrong with that. Another useful skill is being able to translate a forecast into something people at home can understand. Most weather experts study physics and math before going on to do a more specialized course in forecasting. My own way in was somewhat different, as I did a business degree before getting into television as a researcher. I moved around quite a lot at the TV station and eventually ended up in the weather department, where I did my training.
21．答案：D
解析：原文开头提到 “For curious toddlers”、“active little person—— playing, exploring”, 且产品适用于 12 个月以上幼儿，故 B “活跃探索的幼儿” 最符合。
22．答案：B
解析：节省金额：常规总价 - 实际总价 = 375- 300= 75
23．答案：B
解析：文章的标题格式、内容 (产品介绍、成分、价格、促销信息) 以及语气都明确表明其作为一种商业广告的目的。
24．答案：D
解析：文中提到两位老年室友每晚发出呻吟和尖叫，让作者无法入睡。D 项 “室友打扰了她的休息” 准确概括了这一原因。
25．答案：A
解析：年轻人说 “从来没有人告诉过我们喜欢燕麦粥”“通常病人都抱怨食物”，说明厨房工作人员很少得到表扬。
26．答案：B
解析：写便条帮助作者转移注意力、获得期待感 (提升情绪)，同时工作人员被感动和鼓舞。B 项涵盖了两方面影响。
27．答案：B
解析：作者通过自身经历说明，表达感谢不仅鼓励了他人，也让自己在困境中找到积极意义，是双向的益处。
28．答案：C
解析：细节理解题。第一段明确指出，1608 年望远镜的发明使得 “Observation ceased to be passive. We no longer merely looked—— we searched.” (观察不再是消极被动的，我们不再仅仅是观看 —— 我们开始探索)。因此，其核心意义在于从 “看” 到 “探索” 的转变。
29．答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。第三段提到望远镜和智能手机摄像头都是同一个 “global apparatus” 的一部分。这里指代的是由各种观测工具、网络连接组成的全球性 “系统” 或 “体系”，而非单一的仪器，因此选 system。
30．答案：C
解析：推理判断题。反讽在于事与愿违。现代观测的成就本应让人类更强大、更独立，但结果恰恰相反 —— 我们 “看得越多”，反而越不独立 (即对仪器的依赖越深)。C 项准确体现了这一矛盾关系。
31．答案：B
解析：观点态度题。文章虽然肯定了观察技术的进步，但在最后两段重点强调了 “irony”(讽刺) 和 “dependence”(依赖), 指出观察并非中立。这符合 “Every rose has its thorn”(事物皆有两面性 / 有利必有弊) 的态度。
32．答案：B
解析：文章首段明确给出核心发现 —— 在多元文化背景下，人们普遍更偏爱自主决策策略。A 强调文化背景决定策略，与文意相反；C 认为决策模式差异巨大，与 “普遍性” 矛盾；D 重视朋友建议，并非研究核心结论。
33．答案：C
解析：根据第三段，这些偏好会影响人们实际如何做决定，以及如何回应制度设定的选择框架。A、B、D 在文中均无依据。
34．答案：C
解析：依据第四段，依存型文化比独立型文化更倾向于考虑他人建议，但依然偏向自主思考。A、B 表述绝对化，与原文矛盾；D 认为决策模式相同，错误。
35．答案：D
解析：全文围绕一项全球研究展开，核心结论是：自主决策是一种普遍的偏好。A 强调文化差异，偏离主旨；B 推崇群体智慧，与原文相反；C 解决日常困境的策略，范围过大。
36．答案：C；E；D；A；F
解析：①承上启下题。前文提到注意力已成为一种商品，且充满了干扰。C 选项 “And it costs us not only time, but productivity.” (它让我们付出的代价不仅是时间，还有生产力) 紧承上文，指出了注意力分散的负面后果，引出下文关于 “治愈” 的讨论。
②细节衔接题。前文提到了 “flow”(心流) 能提高生产力。E 选项 “In this state, we are deeply absorbed in a task.”(在这种状态下，我们全神贯注于一项任务) 中的 “In this state” 指代前文的 “flow”, 且 “deeply absorbed” 是对心流状态的准确描述，与后文 “技能与挑战平衡” 相呼应。
③逻辑推理题。前文提出 “不把生产力放在首位”，并说心流能提供 “far more”(更多的东西)。D 选项 “What if we used it to enhance our wellbeing ”(如果我们用它来提升幸福感呢？) 提出了心流的另一个价值 —— 幸福感，与后文提到的 “控制感”、“减少自我意识” 等幸福感特征相契合。
④逻辑衔接题。前文建议记录心情和时间体验，后文建议寻找 “技能与挑战的甜蜜点”。A 选项 “Don’t measure performance.”(不要衡量表现) 是连接这两者的关键；只有停止对 “表现” 的功利性考核，才能真正客观地感知当下的挑战与技能平衡，从而找到那个 “甜蜜点”。
⑤总结升华题。前文提到培养心流是一种 “mental discipline” (精神纪律)。F 选项 “It is as essential to wellbeing as sleep routine is to rest.” (它对于幸福感的重要性，就如同睡眠习惯对于休息的重要性一样) 通过将心流比作睡眠习惯，强调了这种 “精神纪律” 对于幸福感的必要性，是对全文主旨的完美升华。

53．答案：Digital Museums: A Window to the Past
Nowadays, many museums are offering online exhibitions, 3D artifact viewing, and virtual tours, allowing us to explore cultural treasures without leaving home.
In my opinion, digital museums are a valuable complement rather than a replacement for physical visits. On the one hand, they break down geographical and financial barriers, making culture accessible to more people. On the other hand, no screen can reproduce the awe of standing before a real artifact. The texture, the scale, the atmosphere—— these can only be experienced in person.
Therefore, I suggest we use digital tools as a starting point to spark interest, and then visit real museums to deepen our understanding. Together, they offer a richer journey into the past.

54．答案：Para 1 : I put down the phone, stunned and lost in thought. For days, I had been burning with anger, complaining about how unfairly I was treated. I called him a careless driver in my mind again and again. But now, this stranger I had blamed so much chose to protect me from trouble. He didn’t have to do that. I sat there for a long time, feeling ashamed. Finally, I picked up the phone and called his agent, asking him to pass along my sincere thanks. I also apologized for my bad attitude at the accident scene. His agent said the man was glad to hear that. Putting down the phone, I felt a heavy weight lift from my chest.
Para 2: A few weeks later, I met the man again in the elevator to my office. He smiled and asked how my car was doing. Instead of looking away, I took a deep breath and thanked him again for his kindness. He looked a little surprised, then smiled warmly. We had a short, friendly talk about the repairs. Before he got off, he apologized once more for the accident. I told him it was okay and that I was sorry for being so angry at first. The elevator doors closed, but I felt lighter. Forgiveness, I realized, is not about excusing a mistake—— it’s about freeing your own heart. I walked into my office with a genuine smile.
