Ernest Hemingway, the Nobel Prize-winning American writer, first visited Pamplona during the traditional festival 100 years ago. The festival started more than seven hundred years ago. For nine days, people come to the northern Spanish city for bull running, bullfighting and partying.
The festival affected Hemingway so deeply that he returned eight times. Here is a description of what happens at the start of the bull running: A rocket would be lit. And the bulls would charge out of the gate. At that moment, a crowd of runners wearing white clothes and red scarves would start to run. They would look back, move and dance to avoid being injured by the charging bull’s horns. Onlookers would cheer them on from balconies above.
In 1926, Hemingway wrote his first book, The Sun Also Rises. He wrote about his experiences in Pamplona and established himself as the voice of what became known as the Lost Generation. “I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it,” says one character in the book. “Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters,” is the answer.
Bill Hillman is a 41-year-old professor from Chicago. He first read the book at college. When he turned to the last page, he learnt two things: He wanted to become a writer, and he would run in front of Pamplona’s bulls someday. His first running of the bulls was in 2005 and he has been running ever since. He has been wounded twice, but that has not lessened his interest.
Last year, 1.7 million people came to the festival. Pamplona native Miguel has written about the festival’s links to Hemingway. He believes the writer’s influence on its popularity has been as large as people say. Besides, he thinks that Pamplona is still using Hemingway to gain attention. “We made him into an icon,” he said.

C. The festival in Pamplona is still as popular as before.
D. Ernest Hemingway has an influence on Pamplona’s festival.
Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.
Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.
According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.
“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”
8．Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish
A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.
B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans
C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.
D. To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans
9．What can we learn about the experiment
A. People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment
B. The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns
C. Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.
D. The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish’s incorrect judgment.
10．It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.
A. optic flow mechanism is unique to humans
B. mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish
C. goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information
D. visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish
11．What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study
A. Neutral. B. Ambiguous. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable.
In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone only based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately mislead us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.
Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media Who can we trust How about experts — people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.
Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution to, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way.
Yet, when we embrace a singular cause for or a solution to all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, depending the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the cure-all medicine, However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality.
Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. If this means you don’t have time to form so many opinions, so what
Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong
12．What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Temptation. B. Tradition. C. Convenience. D. Disapproval.
13．Why are simple ideas appealing according to the passage
A. They meet people’s demand for high efficiency.
B. They generate a sense of complete understanding.
C. They are raised and supported by multiple experts.
D. They reflect the opinions of like-minded individuals.
14．What will the author probably agree with
A. Simplifying matters releases energy for human brains.
B. Constant tests on our ideas help make up for our weakness.
C. A well-founded opinion counts more than many shallow ones.
D. People who disagree with us often have comprehensive views.
15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Embracing Disagreement: Refusing Overcomplexity
B. Enhancing Comprehension: Simplifying Information
C. Understanding Differences: Establishing Relationships
D. Navigating Complexity: Challenging Oversimplification

They were eating in stony silence except the sailor.He was writing a letter, and a half smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.
All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet.Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.
The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.
“Merry Christmas, ” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers.“How much are they？”
“Two francs, Sir.”
The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman's hand.
“I don't have change, Sir, ” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”

And the bulls would charge out of the gate.(下面是对奔牛开始时发生的事情的描述：火箭会被点燃，公牛会冲出大门)”可知，奔牛节是西班牙潘普洛纳的传统节日，每年吸引游客，其主要特色是奔牛。故选B项。
5．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“The festival affected Hemingway so deeply that he returned eight times. Here is a description of what happens at the start of the bull running: A rocket would be lit. And the bulls would charge out of the gate. At that moment, a crowd of runners wearing white clothes and red scarves would start to run. They would look back, move and dance to avoid being injured by the charging bull’s horns. Onlookers would cheer them on from balconies above.(这个节日深深地影响了海明威，他去了八次。下面是对奔牛开始时发生的事情的描述：火箭会被点燃，公牛会冲出大门。在那一刻，一群穿着白色衣服，戴着红色围巾的跑步者开始跑步。他们会回头看，移动和跳舞，以避免被冲过来的牛角伤害。旁观者会在上面的阳台上为他们加油)”可知，文章引用海明威描述奔牛节的原话，目的是阐述奔牛节的细节。故选C项。
6．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“His first running of the bulls was in 2005 and he has been running ever since. He has been wounded twice, but that has not lessened his interest.(他第一次公牛赛跑是在2005年，从那以后他一直在跑。他受过两次伤，但这并没有减少他的兴趣)”可知，比尔·希尔曼深受海明威的影响，他最终也去参加奔牛节了并且矢志不渝地坚持下来了。由此可以说明他是一个意志坚定的人。故选A项。
7．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Pamplona native Miguel has written about the festival’s links to Hemingway. He believes the writer’s influence on its popularity has been as large as people say. Besides, he thinks that Pamplona is still using Hemingway to gain attention.(潘普洛纳本地人米格尔写过关于这个节日与海明威的联系。他认为，这位作家对其受欢迎程度的影响正如人们所说的那样大。此外，他认为潘普洛纳仍在利用海明威来吸引人们的注意)”以及美国作家海明威曾多次去西班牙潘普洛纳参加奔牛节，他在《太阳照样升起》一书中讲述了奔牛节的事情。本文主要讲述了他对奔牛节的影响。比较选项可知，D项“欧内斯特·海明威对潘普洛纳的节日产生了影响”最能概括本文的大意。故选D。
8．答案： C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(金鱼可能看起来像在玻璃鱼缸里游泳的简单生物，但它们拥有相当复杂的导航系统，正如牛津大学Adelaide Sibeaux博士领导的研究人员所发现的那样，这项研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类以及潜在的人类如何利用一种可以被称为内部GPS的东西来估计距离的理解)”可知，Adelaide Sibeaux对金鱼进行这项研究是为了揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C项。
9．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.(在多次试验中，当看到垂直的2厘米宽的条纹时，金鱼的平均游泳距离为74厘米，误差为17厘米。然而，当条纹图案被改变为较窄的垂直条纹、格子图案或水平条纹时，鱼的行为发生了显著变化。较窄的垂直条纹导致他们高估了36%的距离，而水平条纹导致高度不一致的估计)”可知，鱼缸设置的改变导致了金鱼的错误判断。故选D项。
10．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.(根据研究人员的说法，金鱼似乎使用了一种基于环境视觉密度的“光流机制”。他们记录了垂直图案在黑色和白色之间切换的频率，以估计它们走了多远。这项研究表明，包括人类在内的哺乳动物基于视觉特征的角度运动使用了不同的光流机制。这项研究表明，视觉距离信息的使用可能在进化的早期就出现了)”可知，本段可得出结论，金鱼使用多维视觉信息来评估距离。故选C项。
11．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段““This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”(“这项研究是新颖的，因为尽管我们知道鱼类对方向和距离的几何信息有反应，但我们不知道它们是如何估计距离的，”科林·利弗教授说，尽管他没有参与这项研究，“探索鱼类的空间映射是令人兴奋的，因为鱼类的导航进化得比大多数哺乳动物更早，也更好。”)”可知，科林教授认为这项研究是令人兴奋的，所以是赞许的。故选D项。
12．答案： A
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.”（导致“单一视角本能”，使我们无法把握世界的复杂性）可知，专家受到过度简化的allure，也会导致单一视觉，不能掌握世界的复杂性，因此推断此处表示受到了过度简化的诱惑，allure在这里指的是“诱惑”。故选A项。
13．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty.”（简单的想法可能很有吸引力，因为它们提供了一种理解感和确定性。）可知，简单的想法具有吸引力是因为它们产生一种完全理解的感觉。故选B项。
14．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段“Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world.”（相反，要不断测试你最喜欢的想法的弱点。对自己的专业知识要谦虚。对不合适的新信息和来自其他领域的信息保持好奇。而不是只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源。）可推断，作者认为要不断测试自己的想法，对其他领域要保持好奇，还要与那些持有与自己不同观点的人交流，接受不同的观点，这样才能对问题有全面的了解和认识。因此推断作者认为理由充分的观点比肤浅的观点更有价值。故选C项。
15．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone only based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately mislead us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.”（在我们这个信息驱动的社会中，通过媒体塑造我们的世界观就像仅仅根据一个人的脚的照片来形成对他们的看法一样，虽然媒体可能不是故意误导我们，但它经常无法提供全面的现实视角。）及第二段最后一句“However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.”（然而，即使是专家也会受到过度简化的诱惑，导致“单一视角本能”，阻碍我们掌握世界的复杂性）及第五段最后一句“And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world.”（而不是只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源。）以及全文内容可知，本文作者主要提出“单一视角本能”最终会影响我们的判断力，限制我们有效解决复杂问题的能力，我们应该接受不同的观点，作为理解世界的重要资源。因此D项“驾驭复杂性：挑战过度简化”为最佳标题。故选D项。
16．答案：①-⑤GCEBF
解析：①根据下文“From the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating advantages of embracing van life.(从探索新视野的自由到培养极简主义的心态，这是一些拥抱房车生活的迷人优势)”可知，拥有房车的好处不仅仅是可以开着它们去旅行欣赏沿途的风景。G项“The concept of van life offers benefits beyond just a change of scenery.(房车生活的概念提供的好处不仅仅是改变风景)”符合题意，引出下文。故选G。
②根据下文“With minimal monthly expenses, such as parking fees and fuel costs, van dwellers can allocate resources to experiences rather than high rent or house payments.

Ernest Hemingway, the Nobel Prize-winning American writer, first visited Pamplona during the traditional festival 100 years ago. The festival started more than seven hundred years ago. For nine days, people come to the northern Spanish city for bull running, bullfighting and partying.
The festival affected Hemingway so deeply that he returned eight times. Here is a description of what happens at the start of the bull running: A rocket would be lit. And the bulls would charge out of the gate. At that moment, a crowd of runners wearing white clothes and red scarves would start to run. They would look back, move and dance to avoid being injured by the charging bull’s horns. Onlookers would cheer them on from balconies above.
In 1926, Hemingway wrote his first book, The Sun Also Rises. He wrote about his experiences in Pamplona and established himself as the voice of what became known as the Lost Generation. “I can’t stand it to think my life is going so fast and I’m not really living it,” says one character in the book. “Nobody ever lives their life all the way up except bull-fighters,” is the answer.
Bill Hillman is a 41-year-old professor from Chicago. He first read the book at college. When he turned to the last page, he learnt two things: He wanted to become a writer, and he would run in front of Pamplona’s bulls someday. His first running of the bulls was in 2005 and he has been running ever since. He has been wounded twice, but that has not lessened his interest.
Last year, 1.7 million people came to the festival. Pamplona native Miguel has written about the festival’s links to Hemingway. He believes the writer’s influence on its popularity has been as large as people say. Besides, he thinks that Pamplona is still using Hemingway to gain attention. “We made him into an icon,” he said.
4．What is the main attraction of the festival in Pamplona
A. Hemingway’s influence. B. Running bulls.
C. The long history of the town. D. The beautiful scenery there.
5．Why does the author quote Hemingway’s words in paragraph 2
A. To show the writer’s talent for language.
B. To show the popularity of the festival.
C. To show the details of the festival.
D. To show the writer’s personal experience.
6．Which word can best describe Bill Hillman
A. Strong-willed. B. Stubborn. C. Adventurous. D. Desperate.
7．What is the main idea of the text
A. People take an active part in bull fighting.
B. Ernest Hemingway is an icon in a famous city.
C. The festival in Pamplona is still as popular as before.
D. Ernest Hemingway has an influence on Pamplona’s festival.
Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.
Writing in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Sibeaux and colleagues report how they created a tank in their experiment with 2cm-wide black and white vertical stripes (条纹) on the walls, connected by similar stripes across the floor. The team trained nine goldfish to swim a set distance of 70cm and then return to their starting point when waved at. The experiment aimed to investigate how the fish would estimate this distance without any gestures, under different patterns.
Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.
According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.
“This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”
8．Why did Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux conduct the study on goldfish
A. To test the accuracy of goldfish’s internal GPS.
B. To create an advanced navigation system for humans
C. To uncover how an inbuilt GPS helps calculate distances.
D. To explore the relationships between goldfish and humans
9．What can we learn about the experiment
A. People gestured the goldfish throughout the experiment
B. The tank was decorated with colorful background patterns
C. Goldfish tended to underestimate distances with horizontal stripes.
D. The change in the tank setting led to the goldfish’s incorrect judgment.
10．It can be concluded from the fourth paragraph that ____________.
A. optic flow mechanism is unique to humans
B. mammals developed flow mechanism long before goldfish
C. goldfish evaluated the distance with multidimensional visual information
D. visual density of the environment strengthened the locating ability of goldfish
11．What attitude does Professor Colin hold towards the study
A. Neutral. B. Ambiguous. C. Disapproving. D. Favorable.
In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone only based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately mislead us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.
Consequently, the question arises: Where, then, shall we get our information from if not from the media Who can we trust How about experts — people who devote their working lives to understanding their chosen slice of the world However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.
Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty. And it is easy to take off down a slippery slope, from one attention-grabbing simple idea to a feeling that this idea beautifully explains, or is the beautiful solution to, lots of other things. The world becomes simple that way.
Yet, when we embrace a singular cause for or a solution to all problems, we risk oversimplifying complex issues. For instance, depending the concept of equality may lead us to view all problems through the lens of inequality and see resource distribution as the cure-all medicine, However, such rigidity prevents us from seeing the multidimensional nature of challenges and hinders true comprehension of reality. This “single perspective instinct” ultimately clouds our judgment and restricts our capacity to tackle complex issues effectively. Being always in favor of or always against any particular idea makes you blind to information that doesn’t fit your perspective. This is usually a bad approach if you would like to understand reality.
Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world. If this means you don’t have time to form so many opinions, so what
Wouldn’t you rather have few opinions that are right than many that are wrong
12．What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Temptation. B. Tradition. C. Convenience. D. Disapproval.
13．Why are simple ideas appealing according to the passage
A. They meet people’s demand for high efficiency.
B. They generate a sense of complete understanding.
C. They are raised and supported by multiple experts.
D. They reflect the opinions of like-minded individuals.
14．What will the author probably agree with
A. Simplifying matters releases energy for human brains.
B. Constant tests on our ideas help make up for our weakness.
C. A well-founded opinion counts more than many shallow ones.
D. People who disagree with us often have comprehensive views.
15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A. Embracing Disagreement: Refusing Overcomplexity
B. Enhancing Comprehension: Simplifying Information
C. Understanding Differences: Establishing Relationships
D. Navigating Complexity: Challenging Oversimplification

It was raining and cold when we went out to eat.We found a small restaurant poorly decorated for the holiday.Only five tables in the restaurant were taken.There were two German couples, two French families, and an American sailor, by himself. They were eating in stony silence except the sailor.He was writing a letter, and a half smile lighted his face. In the corner a piano player was listlessly (无精打采地) playing Christmas music.
All of us were interrupted by an old French flower woman through the front door. She had a worn overcoat and her old shoes were wet.Carrying her basket of flowers, she went from one table to another. No one bought any. Exhausted and frustrated, she sat down at a table.
The sailor finished his meal and got up to leave. Putting on his coat, he walked over to the flower woman's table.
“Merry Christmas, ” he said, smiling and picking out a handful of flowers.“How much are they？”
“Two francs, Sir.”
The sailor put a twenty franc note in the woman's hand.
“I don't have change, Sir, ” she said. “I'll get some from the waiter.”
“No, ma'am, ” said the sailor, leaning over and kissing the ancient cheek.“This is my Christmas present for you.”

3．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段“Challenge curious young minds from 9 to 14 with Cricket Media’s Collection of magazines. Whether your child is a promising poet or a future engineer, these award-winning publications are made for your kids(从9岁到14岁，用Cricket Media的杂志集挑战好奇的年轻人。无论您的孩子是一位有前途的诗人还是未来的工程师，这些获奖出版物都是为您的孩子制作的)”以及“COBBLESTONETM Magazine”、“FACESTTM Magazine”、“MUSE Magazine”可知，本文是一则广告。根据第二段以及每段下面的“ADD TO CART(加入购物车)”可知本文来自网站，故选D项。
4．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“For nine days, people come to the northern Spanish city for bull running, bullfighting and partying.(在为期九天的时间里，人们来到这个西班牙北部城市参加奔牛、斗牛和派对)”以及第二段的“Here is a description of what happens at the start of the bull running: A rocket would be lit. And the bulls would charge out of the gate.(下面是对奔牛开始时发生的事情的描述：火箭会被点燃，公牛会冲出大门)”可知，奔牛节是西班牙潘普洛纳的传统节日，每年吸引游客，其主要特色是奔牛。故选B项。
5．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段“The festival affected Hemingway so deeply that he returned eight times. Here is a description of what happens at the start of the bull running: A rocket would be lit. And the bulls would charge out of the gate. At that moment, a crowd of runners wearing white clothes and red scarves would start to run. They would look back, move and dance to avoid being injured by the charging bull’s horns. Onlookers would cheer them on from balconies above.(这个节日深深地影响了海明威，他去了八次。下面是对奔牛开始时发生的事情的描述：火箭会被点燃，公牛会冲出大门。在那一刻，一群穿着白色衣服，戴着红色围巾的跑步者开始跑步。他们会回头看，移动和跳舞，以避免被冲过来的牛角伤害。旁观者会在上面的阳台上为他们加油)”可知，文章引用海明威描述奔牛节的原话，目的是阐述奔牛节的细节。故选C项。
6．答案： A
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“His first running of the bulls was in 2005 and he has been running ever since. He has been wounded twice, but that has not lessened his interest.(他第一次公牛赛跑是在2005年，从那以后他一直在跑。他受过两次伤，但这并没有减少他的兴趣)”可知，比尔·希尔曼深受海明威的影响，他最终也去参加奔牛节了并且矢志不渝地坚持下来了。由此可以说明他是一个意志坚定的人。故选A项。
7．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Pamplona native Miguel has written about the festival’s links to Hemingway. He believes the writer’s influence on its popularity has been as large as people say. Besides, he thinks that Pamplona is still using Hemingway to gain attention.(潘普洛纳本地人米格尔写过关于这个节日与海明威的联系。他认为，这位作家对其受欢迎程度的影响正如人们所说的那样大。此外，他认为潘普洛纳仍在利用海明威来吸引人们的注意)”以及美国作家海明威曾多次去西班牙潘普洛纳参加奔牛节，他在《太阳照样升起》一书中讲述了奔牛节的事情。本文主要讲述了他对奔牛节的影响。比较选项可知，D项“欧内斯特·海明威对潘普洛纳的节日产生了影响”最能概括本文的大意。故选D。
8．答案： C
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Goldfish may seem like simple creatures swimming in a glass tank, but they possess a rather complicated navigation system, as discovered by researchers at the University of Oxford Led by Dr. Adelaide Sibeaux, the study aims to shed light on our understanding of how fish, and potentially humans, estimate distances using what could be described as an internal GPS.(金鱼可能看起来像在玻璃鱼缸里游泳的简单生物，但它们拥有相当复杂的导航系统，正如牛津大学Adelaide Sibeaux博士领导的研究人员所发现的那样，这项研究旨在阐明我们对鱼类以及潜在的人类如何利用一种可以被称为内部GPS的东西来估计距离的理解)”可知，Adelaide Sibeaux对金鱼进行这项研究是为了揭示内置GPS如何帮助计算距离。故选C项。
9．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中“Over multiple trials, the goldfish averaged a swim distance of 74cm, give or take 17cm, when presented with the vertical 2cm-wide stripes. However, when the stripe pattern was altered to either narrower vertical stripes, checked patterns, or horizontal stripes, the fish’s behavior changed significantly. Narrower vertical stripes led them to overestimating the distance by 36%, while horizontal stripes resulted in highly inconsistent estimations.(在多次试验中，当看到垂直的2厘米宽的条纹时，金鱼的平均游泳距离为74厘米，误差为17厘米。然而，当条纹图案被改变为较窄的垂直条纹、格子图案或水平条纹时，鱼的行为发生了显著变化。较窄的垂直条纹导致他们高估了36%的距离，而水平条纹导致高度不一致的估计)”可知，鱼缸设置的改变导致了金鱼的错误判断。故选D项。
10．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段“According to the researchers, the goldfish appeared to be using an “optic (光学的) flow mechanism” based on the visual density of their environment. They kept track of how frequently the vertical pattern switched between black and white to estimate how far they had traveled. The study suggests that different optic flow mechanisms are used by mammals, including humans, based on angular (有角度的) motion of visual features. The study implies that the use of visually based distance information could have emerged early in the evolutionary timeline.(根据研究人员的说法，金鱼似乎使用了一种基于环境视觉密度的“光流机制”。他们记录了垂直图案在黑色和白色之间切换的频率，以估计它们走了多远。这项研究表明，包括人类在内的哺乳动物基于视觉特征的角度运动使用了不同的光流机制。这项研究表明，视觉距离信息的使用可能在进化的早期就出现了)”可知，本段可得出结论，金鱼使用多维视觉信息来评估距离。故选C项。
11．答案： D
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段““This study is novel because, despite knowing that fish respond to geometric information regarding direction and distance, we don’t know how they estimate distances,” Professor Colin Lever, although not involved in the study, said, “it’s exciting to explore fish spatial mapping because fish navigation evolved earlier and better than most mammals.”(“这项研究是新颖的，因为尽管我们知道鱼类对方向和距离的几何信息有反应，但我们不知道它们是如何估计距离的，”科林·利弗教授说，尽管他没有参与这项研究，“探索鱼类的空间映射是令人兴奋的，因为鱼类的导航进化得比大多数哺乳动物更早，也更好。”)”可知，科林教授认为这项研究是令人兴奋的，所以是赞许的。故选D项。
12．答案： A
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.”（导致“单一视角本能”，使我们无法把握世界的复杂性）可知，专家受到过度简化的allure，也会导致单一视觉，不能掌握世界的复杂性，因此推断此处表示受到了过度简化的诱惑，allure在这里指的是“诱惑”。故选A项。
13．答案： B
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Simple ideas can be appealing because they offer a sense of understanding and certainty.”（简单的想法可能很有吸引力，因为它们提供了一种理解感和确定性。）可知，简单的想法具有吸引力是因为它们产生一种完全理解的感觉。故选B项。
14．答案： C
解析：推理判断题。根据第五段“Instead, constantly test your favorite ideas for weaknesses. Be humble about the extent of your expertise. Be curious about new information that doesn’t fit, and information from other fields. And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world.”（相反，要不断测试你最喜欢的想法的弱点。对自己的专业知识要谦虚。对不合适的新信息和来自其他领域的信息保持好奇。而不是只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源。）可推断，作者认为要不断测试自己的想法，对其他领域要保持好奇，还要与那些持有与自己不同观点的人交流，接受不同的观点，这样才能对问题有全面的了解和认识。因此推断作者认为理由充分的观点比肤浅的观点更有价值。故选C项。
15．答案： D
解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段“In our information-driven society, shaping our worldview through the media is similar to forming an opinion about someone only based on a picture of their foot. While the media might not deliberately mislead us, it often fails to provide a comprehensive view of reality.”（在我们这个信息驱动的社会中，通过媒体塑造我们的世界观就像仅仅根据一个人的脚的照片来形成对他们的看法一样，虽然媒体可能不是故意误导我们，但它经常无法提供全面的现实视角。）及第二段最后一句“However, even experts can fall prey to the allure of oversimplification, leading to the “single perspective instinct” that prevent our ability to grasp the intricacies of the world.”（然而，即使是专家也会受到过度简化的诱惑，导致“单一视角本能”，阻碍我们掌握世界的复杂性）及第五段最后一句“And rather than talking only to people who agree with you, or collecting examples that fit your ideas, consult people who contradict you, disagree with you, and put forward different ideas as a great resource for understanding the world.”（而不是只与那些同意你的人交谈，或者收集符合你想法的例子，咨询那些反驳你、不同意你的人，并提出不同想法的人，作为理解世界的重要资源。）以及全文内容可知，本文作者主要提出“单一视角本能”最终会影响我们的判断力，限制我们有效解决复杂问题的能力，我们应该接受不同的观点，作为理解世界的重要资源。因此D项“驾驭复杂性：挑战过度简化”为最佳标题。故选D项。

Before we could say “Thank you”, he went to other tables. In an instant, everyone in the room was presented with flowers, including the waiter and the piano player. In the bright light, the flowers were glowing in full bloom. These magical flowers melted our frustrated hearts and blew away all the unpleasant moods.
The piano player came alive and pleasant music filled the whole room. A festival atmosphere drowned all of us. We merrily danced to the joyful music, singing, laughing and wishing each other good luck.The old flower woman also joined us, unable to conceal her excitement and gratitude. The spirit of Christmas came back to us again. It brought all of us together in this small restaurant on a foreign land. All this was due to a young American sailor, who, through his kindness and generosity, brightened our paths.
