They now call it “Batesian mimicry” — the amazing skill for survival I first saw in the whispering green of the Amazon. I am Henry Walter Bates. My story began not with butterflies, but as the eldest son of a stocking (长袜) maker in Leicester. Yet, a boy’s passion for collecting insects and an important meeting with Alfred Russel Wallace, Darwin’s future co-theorist, sent me toward what he called “the great engine of change” in the tropics.
For eleven years, the Amazon was my home, my school, and my proving ground. I faced constant dangers, from disease-carrying mosquitoes and snakes to flooding rains. I was struck down by both yellow fever and malaria. My routine was strict: mornings collecting, afternoons reading and preparing my finds. I was usually in bed by nine. My field journals, filled with detailed drawings and notes in dark ink, were my defense against the dampness and insects. I learned the local languages and customs, for without the crucial guidance of its people, I would have been completely lost in that vast wilderness.
It was a time of extraordinary variety. I brought back over 14,000 kinds of insects — 8,000 new to science. But the real wonder was not the count, but a pattern I noticed. It started with a puzzle: why could slow-flying butterflies like the Heliconius escape birds Later I discovered they were poisonous and bitter-tasting. Then the deeper truth emerged: harmless Dismorphia had evolved to copy the bright warning colours of the Heliconius. These mimics, avoided by their natural enemies, survived to pass on their colours. Here was evolution by natural selection, written plainly on butterfly wings.
I published my paper in 1862, three years after Darwin’s On the Origin of Species. That this “mimicry”, discovered in remote jungles, could offer timely field support for his great theory remains my proudest achievement. They say I “wrote the book” on field study. I simply followed my fascination, one find at a time, from my father’s Leicester workshop into the heart of nature’s grandest design.
24. Who was Henry Walter Bates
A．A stocking maker from Leicester.
B．Darwin’s co-theorist on evolution.
C．A scientist who studied insects.
D．A writer documenting tropical life.
25. What did Bates consider was essential to his life and work in the Amazon
A．Keeping a strict daily schedule.
B．Getting assistance from the locals.
C．Collecting and studying samples.
D．Staying healthy in the rainforest.
26. What was the pattern Bates discovered
A．Birds avoided eating bitter-tasting insects.
B．Slow-flying butterflies escaped birds’ attack.
C．The bright colours of butterflies signalled danger.
D．Harmless species copied the look of poisonous ones.
27. Which of the following best describes Bates
A．Brave and passionate.
B．Strict and humble.
C．Ambitious and sociable.
D．Independent and proud.

It’s human nature to feel embarrassed for someone acting cringey — like a friend slipping on a wet floor. It’s a sign of empathy which shapes human cooperation and connection. What happens, though, when the second person in this situation is replaced with a robot
Experiencing secondhand embarrassment lights up areas in the human brain associated with pain and the recognition of emotions. Similarly, social anxiety is linked to heightened empathy, but also comes with a reduced capacity to actually understand the other person’s emotions, known as cognitive empathy. And of course, the more socially close and invested a person is in another, the more intensely they’ll feel this bystander discomfort.
Interestingly, new research from Oakridge University found that humans can have the same sort of secondhand embarrassment when they see a robot display social awkwardness.
To test this phenomenon, human subjects were immersed in a virtual environment where both human and robot avatars were present. The researchers then put these avatars through awkward situations like stumbling in a crowd or dancing clumsily in public.
Researchers then measured the electrical activity of the sweat glands of the subjects. This correlates to arousal signals like stress, or other states of high emotion. Participants also filled out a questionnaire about their emotional responses to each virtual social situation. The data indicates that humans felt self-embarrassment for both the human and robot avatars when they were in a socially awkward scenario, although they perceived the situation as more “real” for the human avatar compared to the robot.
Still, the results show that humans can empathize with robots in embarrassing situations, suggesting that humans assume the robots can be aware of being witnessed and have some degree of self-consciousness based on self-reflection and self-evaluation. But it also matters what the robot looks like: “The appearance of the robot may affect the empathetic embarrassment because humans empathize more strongly with more human-looking robots and less with more mechanical-looking robots when they are mistreated by humans.”
Despite the interesting findings in this recent study, the team from Oakridge University acknowledges that a larger sample size, as well as real world humans and robots, would make the conclusions more convincing.
“Our study provides valuable insights into the evolving nature of human-robot relationships. As technology continues to integrate into our daily lives, understanding the emotional responses we have towards robots is crucial,” Lisa Green, the lead researcher on the project, said in a press release. “This research opens up new avenues for exploring the boundaries of human empathy and the potential challenges and benefits of human-robot interactions.”
28. What does the underlined word “cringey” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A．Embarrassing. B．Entertaining. C．Confident. D．Hurtful.
29. What does the author mainly do in Paragraph 2
A．Introduce an approach.
B．Explain a core concept.
C．Offer a theoretical basis.
D．Present previous findings.
30. What is the main idea of the passage
A．Social anxiety plays a key role in human-robot interaction.
B．Technological development is reshaping emotional boundaries.
C．Robots’ human-like features shape people’s emotional responses.
D．Humans may extend empathy to robots in certain social situations.

Reacting has become our preset. A teenager worsens when a selfie (自拍) lacks likes; a parent reads a critical email and assumes their career is at risk; a friend explodes over a post not meant for them. These quick increases reflect what I call an overreaction epidemic (流行病): small causes snowball into extremely intense outbursts.
After I wrote about the topic, thousands messaged me. Some accused me of being tone-deaf, arguing I was asking people to “calm down” while serious problems existed. Others insisted our constant state of panic cannot last long — we cannot fight for what is right if emotionally exhausted. All these views hold truth. Their passion highlights why we need a clearer conversation about emotion regulation. Let’s be clear: Anger, fear and sadness are not weaknesses — they show we care. But the solution to overreaction is emotion regulation; a set of learned skills for managing feelings wisely. It’s about choosing responses that reflect our goals and values.
Many misunderstand regulation as silencing emotion. But it is about choice. Anger signals unfairness. The challenge is that uncontrolled anger can become destructive. Civil rights leaders succeeded not because they lacked anger, but because they channeled it without being consumed.
So what does healthy regulation look like It involves naming emotions accurately, reframing situations to find hope, stopping to think before acting, and choosing rest and connection to avoid burnout. Without these skills, strong anger can turn into helplessness. With them, strong anger becomes fuel for sustained, wise action.
Importantly, we almost never regulate alone. We shape one another’s emotional states constantly. That process is called co-regulation. When we co-regulate with warmth and empathy, we lend our stability to one another. That is why movements last only when people create an atmosphere of safety and trust.
We live in challenging times. No one is suggesting we look away. Emotion regulation is not acceptance. It equips us to face crises without losing ourselves — or one another — in the process.
31. What phenomenon does the author describe in paragraph 1
A．People fail to express true feelings.
B．Teens are more sensitive than adults.
C．Social media often worsens our emotions.
D．Preset reactions can make emotions excessive.
32. What do the responses in paragraph 2 intend to show
A．People are too emotional to reason well.
B．Emotions are signs of personal weakness.
C．The author’s views gained broad acceptance.
D．Emotion regulation needs to be further clarified.
33. What is a common misunderstanding about emotion regulation
A．It takes place in extreme cases.
B．It requires individuals to act alone.
C．It means holding back true feelings.
D．It focuses mostly on anger management.
34. What is the best title for the text
A．Overreaction: The Widespread Trend
B．Co-Regulation: The Only Way Forward
C．Anger Management: The Real Challenge
D．Emotion Regulation: A Path to Lasting Action
第二节 七选五
When you get in a car, you expect it will have functioning brakes. When you pick up medicine at the drugstore, you expect it won’t be polluted. But it wasn’t always like this. The safety of these products was terrible when they first came to market. It took much research and regulation to figure out how users can enjoy the benefits of these products without getting harmed. ___35___.
Social media risks are everywhere. ___36___ Other product design elements, often called “dark patterns,” designed to keep people using for longer, also appear to tip young users into social media overuse. ___37___ They say it’s their users’ fault for engaging with harmful content in the first place, even if those users are children or the content is financial trickery. They also claim to be defending free speech.
___38___ Under the Digital Services Act, which came into effect in Europe this year, platforms are required to take action to stop the spread of illegal content and can be fined up to 6 percent of their global incomes if they don’t do so. If this law is enforced, maintaining the safety of their algorithms and networks will be the most financially sound decision for platforms to make.
Despite these efforts, two things are clear. First, online safety problems are leading to real, offline suffering. Second, social media companies can’t, or won’t, solve these safety problems on their own. ___39___ Even safety issues like cyberbullying that we thought were solved can pop right back up. As our society moves online to an ever-greater degree, the idea that anyone, even teens, can just “stay off social media” becomes less and less realistic. It’s time we should require social media to take safety seriously, for everyone’s sake.
A．And those problems aren’t going away.
B．The current issues aren’t really about offline suffering.
C．Platforms already have systems to remove violent or harmful content.
D．Similarly, social media needs product safety standards to keep users safe.
E．The dangers algorithms make to maximize attention to teens are impossible to ignore.
F．Some authorities are taking steps to hold social media platforms accountable for the content.
G．Many Internet platforms, however, have shifted blame on the consumers whenever criticized.
第三节 阅读表达
Last year, I baked biscuits for complete strangers to say “thank you”. I’d had to call 999 because I found my husband unconscious on the floor. Within minutes, a police car arrived and soon my husband received medical care in hospital.
A week later, when I dropped off still-warm biscuits and presented a thank-you note at the police station, the policemen thanked me for delivering gifts.
I drove away feeling light and happy. Later, I realized that my natural high might have been more than it seemed. Research has shown that sharing gratitude has positive effects on health. People who express gratitude will increase their happiness levels, lower their blood pressure and get better sleep.
What about people who receive gratitude Research has confirmed that when people receive thanks, they experience positive emotions. “Those are happy surprises,”says Jo-Ann Tsang, a professor of psychology. When someone is thanked, he’s more likely to return the favor or pass kindness on, and his chances of being helpful again doubles, probably because he enjoys feeling socially valued.
The give-and-take of gratitude also deepens relationships. Studies show that when your loved ones regularly express gratitude, making you feel appreciated, you’re more likely to return appreciative feelings, which leads to more satisfactory in your relationships.
Nowadays, however, many people don’t express gratitude. Our modern lifestyle may be to blame. With commercial and social media, everything is speeding the younger generation to feel they’re the center of the world. If it’s all about them, why thank others
Why not thank others Just take a look at how many positive effects can saying “thank you” have on personal health—and the well-being of others.
If you aren’t particularly grateful, I strongly suggest you learn to be. People who are instructed to keep gratitude journals, in which they write down positive things that happen to them, cultivate gratitude over time.
40. What health benefits can people gain from expressing gratitude
________________________________________________________________________
41. How do people probably respond when they receive gratitude and feel socially valued
________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.
Saying “thank-you”improves relationships,but nowadays some young people don’t want to do it because everything is making them feel blamed by the whole society.
