Packaging designers often combine a variety of elements—text, illustration, color—in complex designs meant to attract consumers' attention. In many cases, according to a new series of studies, they'd get better results from a simpler approach.
In the first study, the researchers worked with data from the U. S. supermarket chain Kroger. They gathered all product images across four consumable categories—shampoo, deodorant, crackers, and cereal—along with each product's name, brand, retail(零售) price, and weight. Independent research assistants rated the images on complexity of design. Mapping the ratings against each product's price per ounce showed that the simpler the package was, the higher the product's unit price—suggesting that people are willing to pay more when items are presented simply.
In the following experiments, the researchers created simple and complex packages for trail mix and showed one or the other to each of 362 university students. The students indicated the highest amount they would pay for the snack, reported whether they thought it contained few or many ingredients and how pure they believed it to be, and rated the package on attractiveness and simplicity. Those who saw the simple design were willing to pay more, even though they were less likely than people who saw the complex design to award high marks on attractiveness. The simple design got higher scores on purity, and participants believed the product contained fewer ingredients. Repeating the experiment with a different item—hand lotion(护手霜)—got similar results.
"Simplifying packaging design may be an efficient way to convey product information independent of text, "the researchers write. Additional experiments showed that the boost from a simple design was less pronounced when the product's ingredients were highlighted on the package; consumers then had no need to guesspurity.
28.How did the researchers carry out the first study
A.By talking to the staff from a supermarket.
B.By recording opinions from local customers.
C.By rating complexity of designs and improving them.
D.By analyzing product images and related information.
29.The researchers repeated the experiment with hand lotion to find out _.
A.how to create simple packages
B.how to get high marks on purity
C.whether people preferred simpler designs
D.why complex designs were more attractive
30.Which of the following may the researchers agree with
A.Categories of products should be highlighted.
B.Managers should make package designs simpler.
C.Sales of products should rely more on packaging.
D.Researchers should focus on less pronounced facts.
31.What is a suitable title for the text
A.Less is more
B.Quality over quantity
C.The simpler, the healthier
D.The more complex, the more expensive

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了包装设计师通常采用复杂的设计来吸引消费者,但一系列新研究表明,更简单的包装设计可能效果更好,并通过相关实验进行了论证。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,推理判断和标题归纳三个题型的考查,是一篇科研类阅读,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
28.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"They gathered all product images across four consumable categories—shampoo, deodorant, crackers, and cereal—along with each product's name, brand, retail (零售) price, and weight. Independent research assistants rated the images on complexity of design. "他们收集了四个消费品类别——洗发水、除臭剂、饼干和麦片的所有产品图像,以及每个产品的名称、品牌、零售价格和重量。独立研究助理对设计的复杂程度进行了评级。可知,研究人员通过分析产品图像和相关信息进行了第一项研究。故选D。
29.考查推理判断。根据第三段中的"Those who saw the simple design were willing to pay more, even though they were less likely than people who saw the complex design to award high marks on attractiveness. The simple design got higher scores on purity, and participants believed the product contained fewer ingredients. Repeating the experiment with a different item—hand lotion (护手霜)—got similar results."看到简单设计的受试者愿意支付更高的价格,尽管他们比看到复杂设计的人更不可能在吸引力上给予高分。简单设计在纯净度上的评分更高,参与者认为产品含有的成分更少。用不同的产品——护手霜——重复实验得到了类似的结果。可知,研究人员用护手霜重复实验是为了弄清楚人们是否更喜欢简单的设计。故选C。
30.考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"In many cases, according to a new series of studies, they'd get better results from a simpler approach. "在许多情况下,根据一系列新的研究,他们会从更简单的方法中获得更好的结果;以及第二段中的"Mapping the ratings against each product's price per ounce showed that the simpler the package was, the higher the product's unit price—suggesting that people are willing to pay more when items are presented simply." 将评分与每个产品每盎司的价格进行对比显示,包装越简单,产品的单价就越高——这表明当商品呈现得更简单时,人们愿意支付更多。可推断研究人员会同意管理者应该使包装设计更简单。故选B。
31.考查标题归纳。根据第一段中的"In many cases, according to a new series of studies, they'd get better results from a simpler approach. "在许多情况下,根据一系列新的研究,他们会从更简单的方法中获得更好的结果;第二段中的"Mapping the ratings against each product's price per ounce showed that the simpler the package was, the higher the product's unit price—suggesting that people are willing to pay more when items are presented simply. "将评分与每个产品每盎司的价格进行对比显示,包装越简单,产品的单价就越高——这表明当商品呈现得更简单时,人们愿意支付更多;以及最后一段"Additional experiments showed that the boost from a simple design was less pronounced when the product's ingredients were highlighted on the package "额外的实验表明,当产品的成分在包装上被突出显示时,简单设计的提升效果就不那么明显了。可知,文章通过一系列实验表明,简单的包装设计可能效果更好。故选A。

Imagine being able to chat with an artificial intelligence (AI) about anything. What if you could discuss last night's game, get relationship advice, or have a deep debate with the virtual assistant on your kitchen counter Large language models—AIs capable of this level of communication—are advancing quickly enough to make this our new reality. But can we trust what artificial agents say
There are many reasons to embrace conversational AI. The potential uses in health, education, research, and commercial spaces are mind-boggling. Virtual characters can't replace human contact, but mental health research suggests that having something to talk to, whether real or not, can help people.
But the biggest problem is that we trust them more than we should. There's a large body of research in human-robot interaction which shows that people will respond to social gestures, reveal personal information, and are even willing to shift their beliefs or behaviour for an artificial agent. This kind of social trust makes us vulnerable(脆弱的) to emotional persuasion and requires careful design, as well as rules, to ensure that these systems aren't used against people.
A chatbot may, for instance, instruct your child to touch a live electrical plug with a coin, which has happened. The newest language models are trained on vast amounts of text found on the internet, including harmful and misleading content. As it becomes more difficult to expect a language model's responses, there's more risk of unintended consequences. For example, if people ask their home assistant how to deal with a medical emergency, the wrong kinds of answers can be harmful.
We need to ask who creates and owns large language models, and whom this harms or benefits. Personal information that people reveal in conversation can be used for and against them. We need to ensure that this technology is designed and used responsibly. After all, humanity deserves protection, too.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,探讨了大型语言模型带来的交流便利,同时指出人们过度信任它们可能存在的问题,强调需要谨慎对待和合理设计使用。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测,推理判断和段落大意四个题型的考查,是一篇科技类阅读,首先要仔细阅读短文,掌握大意,然后结合具体的题目,再读短文,从中找出相关信息,就可以确定正确答案。
32.考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"The potential uses in health, education, research, and commercial spaces are "在健康、教育、研究和商业领域的潜在用途是……。可知,大型语言模型在健康、教育、研究和商业领域都有潜在用途,可推知划线词 mind-boggling 的含义为"令人难以想象的"。故选C。
33.考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"But the biggest problem is that we trust them more than we should. This kind of social trust makes us vulnerable (脆弱的) to emotional persuasion and requires careful design, as well as rules, to ensure that these systems aren't used against people. "但最大的问题是我们过于信任它们了。这种社会信任使我们容易受到情感说服的伤害,需要谨慎设计以及规则来确保这些系统不被用来伤害人。可知,人机交互的最大问题是人们可能过度依赖人工智能,变得过于信任它们。故选D。
34.考查段落大意。根据第四段"A chatbot may, for instance, instruct your child to touch a live electrical plug with a coin, which has happened. The newest language models are trained on vast amounts of text found on the internet, including harmful and misleading content. As it becomes more difficult to expect a language model's responses, there's more risk of unintended consequences. For example, if people ask their home assistant how to deal with a medical emergency, the wrong kinds of answers can be harmful. "例如,聊天机器人可能会指示你的孩子用硬币触摸带电的插座,这种情况已经发生过。最新的语言模型是在互联网找到的大量文本上训练的,包括有害和误导性的内容。随着预测语言模型的反应变得更加困难,意外后果的风险也更大。例如,如果人们询问家庭助手如何处理医疗紧急情况,错误的答案可能会造成伤害。可知,第四段通过列举聊天机器人让孩子触摸电源插头等例子,说明了人工智能存在潜在风险和被误用的情况。故选B。
35.考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"We need to ensure that this technology is designed and used responsibly. After all, humanity deserves protection, too. "我们需要确保这项技术被负责任地设计和使用。毕竟,人类也值得被保护。可知,作者对与人工智能交流持谨慎态度。故选A。

Are you too responsible
Taking responsibility is an essential element of strong leadership. But when the scales tip to over-responsibility, both the leader and their team suffer. 36.
Define what you're truly responsible for
When it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, try the following pie-chart exercise. 37. Dra w a circle on your paper and allocate(分配) responsibility for the situation to each person on your list. Add up those amounts and determine the remaining percentage. The amount left over is your actual share ofresponsibility.
Examine your assumptions
To start overturning your over-responsibility habit, examine the beliefs and fears that keep it alive. Are they really true Reframe the release of responsibility and consider that you're empowering others. Allow them to struggle with a task, solve their own problem, or own up to a mistake. 38.
Give responsibilities back
Whether you willingly assumed a given responsibility or it was placed on you, it's time to return it to its rightful owner. Identify one responsibility you can return to a specific person. 39. Expect a few discomfort at first, but resist the temptation to jump back in.
Accept help
If you're overly responsible, you likely say"yes"whenever others ask for help but don't ask for any yourself. It's time to rebalance your give-accept proportion.
40. If someone asks if they can take something off your plate or offers to do something for you, say"yes. "
Rightsizing your responsibility is not about escaping what is yours to own but finding a more appropriate balance. By taking 100% of your responsibility, but not more, you will avoid unnecessary stress and help others grow.
A. Practice accepting offers of help.
B. Grab a piece of paper and list everyone involved.
C. It may be a simple task that someone else should be doing.

Dear club manager,
I'm writing to contribute a suggestion for theupcoming"Read Together"initiative.
The book I recommend is"The Old Man and the Sea"by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of an old fisherman named Santiago who has not caught a fish for 84 days. With tremendous efforts, he catches a marlin. However, on his way back, sharks attack, leaving him nothing but its skeleton.
I recommend it for its powerful theme of perseverance. I'm deeply moved by Santiago's determination during the struggle to catch the marlin. He is a hero, weak in body but tough in mind. The story inspires us never to give up, however difficult the circumstances may be.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours,

"You have to be better than her, "Mr Winterbottom said. "If you don't win, Caroline, I'll sell your horse. No trophy(奖杯), no horse!"
With the next competition drawing near, Caroline trained even harder.
"What's the matter, Caroline You look unhappy. "It was Sophie, Caroline's strong rival as well as close friend.
"Dad said that he'll sell Applewind if I don't win the next competition. "
Sophie knew clearly what that would mean to Caroline. After all, they shared the same hobby, and they went through many competitions together. If she had to quit riding and leave Blossom, she couldn't imagine, or even think about such a scene. Poor Caroline. Poor Applewind.
"You'll win, Caroline. Everything will be fine. "Sophie gave her a firm hug.

On the streets of Sydney, Australia, a young Chinese woman, wearing elegant hanfu, the traditional clothing of China, gracefully holds a dizi, the bamboo flute of China, fascinating passersby with the melodies of traditional Chinese music. The performer is Dong Min, a talented musician born in 1990.
After graduating from Minzu University of China with a major in Chinese bamboo flute, Dong registered at the University of New South Wales in Australia in 2015 to study curating ( 策 展 ) and cultural leadership. Dong quickly found like-minded friends passionate about Chinese traditional instruments. Then, she founded the Sydney Meya Conservatory(音乐学院) of Chinese Music.
Dong noticed a lack of awareness of Chinese traditional music in Australia. So, inspired by local performers using Western instruments for street performances, she started street performances with her conservatory members, showing traditional Chinese instruments in Sydney's Chinatown in 2016.
"Street performances offer a direct and visual way for people to experience Chinese music. By bringing it to the streets, we make it accessible to everyone, "she said.
As Dong's performances grew in popularity, snippets(片段) of her shows spread across social media, drawing in a larger audience. With over 1 million followers online, including nearly 150, 000 from international platforms, Dong's influence continues to grow.
Apart from her conservatory, Dong also offers online dizi lessons to a global audience and organizes online exchange concerts for her students worldwide. "I hope to create a platform for music enthusiasts to connect and build friendships through their shared love for music, "she said.
Ever since she arrived in Australia, Dong has noticed a growing interest in Chinese traditional music among local people. Many music schools now offer courses on Chinese instruments. "This demonstrates that traditional Chinese music is thriving (兴旺) not only in formal concert halls but also on the streets and within communities, "she said.

B.She has a gift for Chinese music.

Packaging designers often combine a variety of elements—text, illustration, color—in complex designs meant to attract consumers' attention. In many cases, according to a new series of studies, they'd get better results from a simpler approach.
In the first study, the researchers worked with data from the U. S. supermarket chain Kroger. They gathered all product images across four consumable categories—shampoo, deodorant, crackers, and cereal—along with each product's name, brand, retail(零售) price, and weight. Independent research assistants rated the images on complexity of design. Mapping the ratings against each product's price per ounce showed that the simpler the package was, the higher the product's unit price—suggesting that people are willing to pay more when items are presented simply.
In the following experiments, the researchers created simple and complex packages for trail mix and showed one or the other to each of 362 university students. The students indicated the highest amount they would pay for the snack, reported whether they thought it contained few or many ingredients and how pure they believed it to be, and rated the package on attractiveness and simplicity. Those who saw the simple design were willing to pay more, even though they were less likely than people who saw the complex design to award high marks on attractiveness. The simple design got higher scores on purity, and participants believed the product contained fewer ingredients. Repeating the experiment with a different item—hand lotion(护手霜)—got similar results.
"Simplifying packaging design may be an efficient way to convey product information independent of text, "the researchers write. Additional experiments showed that the boost from a simple design was less pronounced when the product's ingredients were highlighted on the package; consumers then had no need to guesspurity.
28.How did the researchers carry out the first study
A.By talking to the staff from a supermarket.
B.By recording opinions from local customers.
C.By rating complexity of designs and improving them.
D.By analyzing product images and related information.
29.The researchers repeated the experiment with hand lotion to find out _.
A.how to create simple packages
B.how to get high marks on purity
C.whether people preferred simpler designs
D.why complex designs were more attractive
30.Which of the following may the researchers agree with
A.Categories of products should be highlighted.
B.Managers should make package designs simpler.
C.Sales of products should rely more on packaging.
D.Researchers should focus on less pronounced facts.
31.What is a suitable title for the text
A.Less is more
B.Quality over quantity
C.The simpler, the healthier
D.The more complex, the more expensive

Imagine being able to chat with an artificial intelligence (AI) about anything. What if you could discuss last night's game, get relationship advice, or have a deep debate with the virtual assistant on your kitchen counter Large language models—AIs capable of this level of communication—are advancing quickly enough to make this our new reality. But can we trust what artificial agents say
There are many reasons to embrace conversational AI. The potential uses in health, education, research, and commercial spaces are mind-boggling. Virtual characters can't replace human contact, but mental health research suggests that having something to talk to, whether real or not, can help people.
But the biggest problem is that we trust them more than we should. There's a large body of research in human-robot interaction which shows that people will respond to social gestures, reveal personal information, and are even willing to shift their beliefs or behaviour for an artificial agent. This kind of social trust makes us vulnerable(脆弱的) to emotional persuasion and requires careful design, as well as rules, to ensure that these systems aren't used against people.
A chatbot may, for instance, instruct your child to touch a live electrical plug with a coin, which has happened. The newest language models are trained on vast amounts of text found on the internet, including harmful and misleading content. As it becomes more difficult to expect a language model's responses, there's more risk of unintended consequences. For example, if people ask their home assistant how to deal with a medical emergency, the wrong kinds of answers can be harmful.
We need to ask who creates and owns large language models, and whom this harms or benefits. Personal information that people reveal in conversation can be used for and against them. We need to ensure that this technology is designed and used responsibly. After all, humanity deserves protection, too.
32.What does the underlined word"mind-boggling"mean
A.Worthwhile. B.Reliable. C.Incredible. D.Impossible.
33.What is the biggest problem with human-robot interaction
A.People may be hurt emotionally.
B.People may lack normal social life.
C.People may spend too much time online.
D.People may become too dependent on AI.
34.
A.Latest applications and training of AI.
B.Potential risks and misuse cases of AI.
C.Challenges of predicting AI's responses.
D.Dangers of relying on AI for emergencies.
35.What is the author's attitude towards chatting with AI
A.Cautious. B.Supportive. C.Indifferent. D.Doubtful.

Are you too responsible
Taking responsibility is an essential element of strong leadership. But when the scales tip to over-responsibility, both the leader and their team suffer. 36.
Define what you're truly responsible for
When it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, try the following pie-chart exercise. 37. Dra w a circle on your paper and allocate(分配) responsibility for the situation to each person on your list. Add up those amounts and determine the remaining percentage. The amount left over is your actual share ofresponsibility.
Examine your assumptions
To start overturning your over-responsibility habit, examine the beliefs and fears that keep it alive. Are they really true Reframe the release of responsibility and consider that you're empowering others. Allow them to struggle with a task, solve their own problem, or own up to a mistake. 38.
Give responsibilities back
Whether you willingly assumed a given responsibility or it was placed on you, it's time to return it to its rightful owner. Identify one responsibility you can return to a specific person. 39. Expect a few discomfort at first, but resist the temptation to jump back in.
Accept help
If you're overly responsible, you likely say"yes"whenever others ask for help but don't ask for any yourself. It's time to rebalance your give-accept proportion.
40. If someone asks if they can take something off your plate or offers to do something for you, say"yes. "
Rightsizing your responsibility is not about escaping what is yours to own but finding a more appropriate balance. By taking 100% of your responsibility, but not more, you will avoid unnecessary stress and help others grow.
A. Practice accepting offers of help.
B. Grab a piece of paper and list everyone involved.
C. It may be a simple task that someone else should be doing.
D. The following strategies may help you find a more appropriate balance.
E. In this way, you help them develop greater competence and confidence.
F. Leaders who ask for help increase the feelings of connection on their team.
G. If so, these could be signs that you have an overactive sense of responsibility.

"You'll win, Caroline. Everything will be fine. "Sophie gave her a firm hug.
The day of the competition soon came. Caroline knew she was going to lose again. And then her dad would sell Applewind. Caroline wanted to cry, but she had to be brave.

Dear club manager,
I'm writing to contribute a suggestion for theupcoming"Read Together"initiative.
The book I recommend is"The Old Man and the Sea"by Ernest Hemingway. It tells the story of an old fisherman named Santiago who has not caught a fish for 84 days. With tremendous efforts, he catches a marlin. However, on his way back, sharks attack, leaving him nothing but its skeleton.
I recommend it for its powerful theme of perseverance. I'm deeply moved by Santiago's determination during the struggle to catch the marlin. He is a hero, weak in body but tough in mind. The story inspires us never to give up, however difficult the circumstances may be.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours,
Li Hua
