M: Great writers can really help you to love reading. I mean, I wasn't fond of reading until I found my favorite. Still, it's unusual to find writers that can do that—for me, anyway.

【知识点】独白
【解析】【听力原文】M: Russian designer Harry Nuriev's latest sofa is made from a pile of waste bags. He wants it to draw attention to waste things and how we use them. The piece was based on an idea he first explored at a fair in 2019, when he presented a sofa made from old clothes. The project commented on the fashion industry's waste problem, which is mainly generated by cheap, trend-responsive "fast fashion". The project also drew a direct line between the waste problem and the furniture industry. It's estimated that 9 million tons of furniture are thrown away every single year, and over 80% of it ends up in landfill. Add to that the carbon releases caused by producing and shipping it, and the furniture industry looks like another threat to the global climate. With so much waste furniture, brands that make typically "fast" furniture are announcing efforts to change. Some companies commit to using only renewable or recyclable material s to cut carbon release. Katie Treggiden, design expert and author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure, said that having a long life has been a key selling message among responsible furniture companies for a long time. She added they also need to offer repair and take-back service to give their products a second life.
【点评】考查听力理解能力，首先看懂问题，然后根据问题在文中找出依据，选出正确答案。
18．问题： Harry Nuriev 在2019年做了什么？根据"The piece was based on an idea he first explored at a fair in 2019, when he presented a sofa made from old clothes."这件作品是基于他在2019年的一次展会上首次探索的一个想法，当时他展示了一张用旧衣服制成的沙发。故选A。
19．问题：Katie Treggiden认为家具公司应该做什么？根据" having a long life has been a key selling message among responsible furniture companies for a long time"长期以来，在负责任的家具公司中，使用寿命长一直是一个关键的销售信息，故选C。
20．问题：发言人的主要焦点是什么？根据短文内容可知，本文聚焦家具行业的问题。故选B。

Books that Changed My Life
Frank Cottrell-Boyce is a multi-award-winning author and screenwriter who won the CILIP Carnegie Medal for his debut children's book, Millions. His new book The Wonder Brothers, a fun mystery-adventure about the biggest vanishing trick of all time, is out now.
HERE Is Real Magic, Nate Staniforth I could talk about this book forever! It's a memoir by a brilliant magician, Nate Staniforth, who has a belief in being able to do magic out of ordinary things. He has become a little jaded and disillusioned, so he takes himself to India to renew himself by taking his magic on the road. I'm very privileged to have been a writer all my life, but it's very difficult to stop it just being a job. You can lose touch with the joy of it. This book is about rediscovering the joy in your own talents and finding magic in the ordinary.
One Thousand and One Nights I won a copy of this book in a competition at school. It's kind of the opposite of finding the magic in the ordinary—it's about extravagance and amazing ness, bragging and lying. But I love it! It's really about how storytelling can save your life. The narrator is a woman facing a death sentence who is tell ng stories with these cli hangers (悬念) so she won't be killed. It's a book of wonders about how you can enchant (使入迷) someone with a story. As children's writer, you spend a lot of time in schools, telling stories to children who don't necessarily want to be there, gathering them up in a moment of laughter, excitement or nervousness. One Thousand and One Nights celebrates that you can confront someone who wants to kill you and, because of a cliffhanger they go, "I'll kill you tomorrow instead". It's the greatest celebration of the power of storytelling I can think of. Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome This is just the funniest book. And it's kind of about nothing. It's just three blokes in a boat going down the Thames and not being very good at it. That's all. It's just paying attention to the lovely details of ordinary life. It's so kind, so tender, and it's funnier than anything else. There are pages and pages of failing to get through a lock gate or getting lost in amaze. You don't need all these big twists and dramatic events to be funny, you can just be really overconfident that you can find your way out of amaze!
21．Which book is won by its owner as a prize for a competition
A．Millions B．Three Men in a Boat
C．One Thousand and One Nights D．Here Is Real Magic
22．If you want to find magic in the ordinary, who should you read

It was in a brightly-lit room in Mexico City, Mexico, that on June 18, 2014 it was announced that India-born Dr Sanjaya Rajaram had been named the winner of the World Food Prize.
Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties, which have been two distinct and isolated gene pools (分离的基因库) since the beginning of farming. And because of this breakthrough, the scientist has been able to breed over 480 wheat varieties.
Born in Varanasi in 1943, Dr Rajaram lived with his family off a plot of land growing wheat, rice and maize. "After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started, " said Dr Rajaram.
"Every country is unique — there are climate systems, culture, the financial situation and each of the nations I visited needed a different set of solutions, " said Dr Rajaram. His solutions became part of what is widely described as the world's first "wheat network", a global exchange of "genetic information and innovations among researchers". His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions.
After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. "In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I've never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there's a bit of music I like to listen to and that's pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what's possible and today, there's still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry. "
24．Why was Dr Rajaram awarded the World Food Prize
A．He improved several wheat varieties genetically.
B．He crossbred the winter and spring wheat varieties.
C．He successfully bred two wheat varieties.
D．He found the difference between the winter and spring wheat varieties.
25．When did Dr Rajaram start to work on plant breeding
A．During his college years in India.
B．While doing his PhD in Australia.
C．After becoming a member of CIMMYT in Mexico.
D．While living with his family near wheat-growing land.
26．What is one advantage of the wheat varieties developed by Dr Rajaram
A．They can be planted in any season.
B．They are free from the attack of some pant diseases.
C．They can grow well in terrible environments.
D．They can grow taller than traditional ones.
27．What can we learn about Dr Rajaram from the last paragraph
A．He was too busy with work to develop any hobby.
B．He wasn't satisfied with the results of his research.
C．He planned to do research in a new field of science.
D．He made his mind to work on world food problems.
【答案】24．B
25．C

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；故事阅读类；记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了小麦育种专家Sanjaya Rajaram成功培育出冬春杂交小麦品种，获得世界粮食奖。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，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。
24．考查细节理解。根据第一段"It was in a brightly-lit room in Mexico City, Mexico, that on June 18, 2014 it was announced that India-born Dr Sanjaya Rajaram had been named the winner of the World Food Prize."2014年6月18日，在墨西哥墨西哥城一个灯火通明的房间里，印度出生的Sanjaya Rajaram博士被宣布为世界粮食奖获得者；以及第二段中的"Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties,"Rajaram博士因成功杂交冬小麦和春小麦品种而获得该奖项。知，Sanjaya Rajaram博士被授予世界粮食奖，是因为他杂交了冬小麦和春小麦品种。故选B。
25．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started,"在印度接受教育后，我去了澳大利亚攻读博士学位，很快我加入了墨西哥的CIMMYT（国际玉米小麦改良中心），在那里我开始了我的植物育种者职业生涯。可知，Rajaram博士加入国际玉米小麦改良中心后，开始从事植物育种工作。故选C。
26．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions."他的小麦品种营养丰富，延迟了一些植物病害的侵袭，能够在最恶劣的条件下存活下来。可知，Rajaram博士培育的小麦品种能在恶劣的环境中生长。故选C。
27．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. ‘In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I've never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there's a bit of music I like to listen to and that's pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what's possible and today, there's still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry.'"在该领域工作了近半个世纪后，Rajaram博士说他的工作还没有完成。"在科学领域，你永远不会停止学习。我一辈子都在做这件事，我从来没有真正有时间做其他事情。就爱好而言，好吧，有一点我喜欢听的音乐，几乎就是这样。我一直在努力突破可能的极限，今天还有工作要做。学习永远不能停止，世界也不能挨饿。"可知，Rajaram博士已经在粮食领域工作了数十年，他认为自己还有很多工作要做，需要不断学习，让世界人民不再饥饿。可推断，他决定致力于解决世界粮食问题。故选D。

The prodigious ability of our species to rapidly assimilate vocabulary, expanding from a mere 300 lexemes by the tender age of two to an impressive repertoire exceeding 1, 000 by the age of four, remains a subject of profound enigma. Certain scholars in the realms of cognitive science and linguistics have posited that the human mind enters the world equipped with innate cognitive predispositions and logical parameters that facilitate this linguistic feat. However, recent advancements in the sphere of machine learning have unveiled the potential for swift acquisition of semantic understanding from sparse data, eschewing the need for preconceived, hardwired assumptions.
An ensemble of researchers has triumphantly honed a rudimentary artificial intelligence construct to correlate visual representations with their corresponding lexical entities, utilizing a mere 61 hours of ambient visual recordings and auditory data — previously amassed from an individual known as Sam during the years 2013 and 2014. Though this represents but a minuscule fraction of a child's developmental chronicle, it transpires that this was sufficiently informative to prompt the AI in discerning the significance of select vocables.
These revelations intimate that the process of linguistic acquisition may be more straightforward than hitherto presumed. It is conceivable that the juvenile mind does not necessitate a tailor-made, sophisticated linguistic apparatus to adeptly apprehend the essence of words, posits Jessica Sullivan, an adjunct professor of psychology at Skidmore College. "This is an exceptionally elegant inquiry, " she articulates, as it presents corroborative evidence that rudimentary data extracted from a child's perspective is sufficiently abundant to initiate the processes of pattern recognition and lexical assimilation.
The recent scholarly endeavor also illustrates the plausibility of machines emulating the learning modalities inherent to human cognition. Vast linguistic models are typically nurtured on colossal datasets encompassing billions, if not trillions, of lexical permutations. In stark contrast, human beings manage with a significantly reduced informational intake, as articulated by the principal scribe of the study, Wai Keen Vong. With the appropriate genre of data, the chasm separating machine and human learning could be substantially bridged.
Nevertheless, further investigation is warranted in select dimensions of this pioneering research. The savants concede that their findings do not conclusively elucidate the mechanisms by which children amass vocabulary. Additionally, the study's purview was confined to the identification of nouns pertaining to tangible entities.
Despite these limitations, this represents a stride toward a more profound comprehension of our own cognitive faculties, which may ultimately contribute to the enhancement of human pedagogical practices, according to Eva Portelance, a scholar in computational linguistics. She remarks that AI research has the potential to shed light on enigmatic queries about our essence that have persisted over time. "We can harness these paradigms in a salutary manner, to the advantage of scientific discovery and societal progress, " Portelance further elaborates.
28．What is a significant finding of machine-learning research
A．Vocabulary increases gradually with age.
B．Vocabulary can be acquired from minimal data.
C．Language acquisition is tied to built-in expectations.
D．Language acquisition is as complex as formerly assumed.
29．What does the underlined word "prompt" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Facilitate. B．Persuade. C．Advise. D．Expect.
30．What is discussed about the new research in paragraph 5
A．Its limitations. B．Its strengths.
C．Its uniqueness. D．Its process.
31．What is Eva Portelance's attitude to the AI research
A．Doubtful. B．Cautious. C．Dismissive. D．Positive.

28．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"However, recent advancements in the sphere of machine learning have unveiled the potential for swift acquisition of semantic understanding from sparse data, eschewing the need for preconceived, hardwired assumptions."然而，机器学习领域的最新进展揭示了从少量的数据中快速获取语义理解的潜力，避免了对先入为主的、僵化的假设的需求；以及第二段中的"An ensemble of researchers has triumphantly honed a rudimentary artificial intelligence construct to correlate visual representations with their corresponding lexical entities, utilizing a mere 61 hours of ambient visual recordings and auditory data—previously amassed from an individual known as Sam during the years 2013 and 2014. "一组研究人员成功地完善了一个基本的人工智能结构，将视觉表征与相应的词汇实体关联起来，只利用了 61 小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据——这些数据是 2013 年和 2014 年期间从一个名叫 Sam 的人那里收集的。可知，机器学习领域的最新进展揭示了从少量的数据中快速获取语义理解的潜力，且一组研究人员成功地完善了一个基本的人工智能结构，将视觉表征与相应的词汇实体关联起来，只利用了 61 小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据，所以说机器学习领可以从最少的数据中获取词汇。故选B。

"一组研究人员成功地完善了一个基本的人工智能结构，将视觉表征与相应的词汇实体关联起来，只利用了 61 小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据——这些数据是 2013 年和 2014 年期间从一个名叫 Sam 的人那里收集的；以及"Though this represents but a minuscule fraction of a child's developmental chronicle, it transpires that this was sufficiently informative to prompt the AI in discerning the significance of select vocables."虽然这只代表了儿童成长历程的一小部分，但事实证明，这足以prompt人工智能辨别出特定词汇的重要性。可知，研究人员通过观察一个名为Sam的个体在2013年和2014年收集的61小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据，足以促使AI辨别出特定词汇的意义，可推知划线词 prompt 意为"促使"，故选A。
30．考查段落大意。根据第五段"Nevertheless, further investigation is warranted in select dimensions of this pioneering research. The savants concede that their findings do not conclusively elucidate the mechanisms by which children amass vocabulary. Additionally, the study's purview was confined to the identification of nouns pertaining to tangible entities."尽管如此，这项开创性研究的某些方面仍需要进一步研究。这些学者承认，他们的研究结果并不能最终阐明儿童积累词汇量的机制。此外，这项研究的范围仅限于识别与有形实体有关的名词。可知，第五段讨论了新研究的局限性，包括研究范围仅限于识别与有形实体有关的名词，以及研究结果并不能最终阐明儿童积累词汇量的机制，故选A。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Despite these limitations, this represents a stride toward a more profound comprehension of our own cognitive faculties, which may ultimately contribute to the enhancement of human pedagogical practices, according to Eva Portelance, a scholar in computational linguistics."计算语言学学者伊娃·波特兰斯 (Eva Portelance) 表示，尽管存在这些局限性，但这代表着我们朝着更深刻地理解自身认知能力迈出了一步，最终可能有助于提高人类的教学实践。可知，Eva Portelance认为AI研究有助于我们更深刻地理解自身认知能力，并可能有助于提高人类的教学实践，可推知，她对AI研究的态度是积极的，故选D。

"Assume you are wrong. " The advice came from Brian Nosek, a psychology professor, who was offering a strategy for pursuing better science.
To understand the context for Nosek's advice, we need to take a step back to the nature of science itself. You see despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories become elaborated and change, so do scientific methods.
But methodological reform hasn't come without some fretting and friction. Nasty things have been said by and about methodological reformers. Few people like having the value of their life's work called into question. On the other side, few people are good at voicing criticisms in kind and constructive ways. So, part of the challenge is figuring out how to bake critical self-reflection into the culture of science itself, so it unfolds as a welcome and integrated part of the process, and not an embarrassing sideshow.
What Nosek recommended was a strategy for changing the way we offer and respond to critique. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to interpret as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic presumably shares.
One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it's easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too.
Despite these worries, I like Nosek's suggestion because it builds in cognitive humility along with a sense that we can do better. It also builds in a sense of community — we're all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.
Unfortunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypothesis (假说): that assuming one is wrong can change community norms for the better, and ultimately support better science and even, perhaps, better decisions in life. I don't know if that's true. In fact, I should probably assume that it's wrong. But with the benefit of the scientific community and our best methodological tools, I hope we can get it less wrong, together.
32．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Reformers tend to devalue researchers' work.
B．Scientists are unwilling to express kind criticisms.
C．People hold wrong assumptions about the culture of science.
D．The scientific community should practice critical self-reflection.
33．The strategy of "assuming you are wrong" may contribute to ____.
A．the enormous efforts of scientists at work
B．the reliability of potential research results
C．the public's passion for scientific findings
D．the improvement in the quality of evidence
34．The underlined word "demoralizing" in Paragraph 5 means ____.
A．discouraging B．ineffective C．unfair D．misleading
35．The tone the author uses in talking about the untested hypothesis is ____.
A．doubtful but sincere B．disapproving but soft

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；学习教育类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，心理学教授BrianNosek提出"假定自己是错的"这一建议用于追求更好的科学，围绕该建议展开，论述其背景、面临的挑战及担忧，作者虽对这一假说存疑，但喜欢该建议，希望借助科学社区和方法工具，共同减少错误。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，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。
32．考查推理判断。根据第三段"But methodological reform hasn't come without some fretting and friction. Nasty things have been said by and about methodological reformers. Few people like having the value of their life's work called into question. On the other side, few people are good at voicing criticisms in kind and constructive ways. So, part of the challenge is figuring out how to bake critical self-reflection into the culture of science itself, so it unfolds as a welcome and integrated part of the process, and not an embarrassing sideshow."但方法改革并非没有一些烦恼和摩擦。方法论改革家说了很多难听的话，也说了很多关于他们的坏话。很少有人喜欢自己毕生工作的价值受到质疑。另一方面，很少有人善于以善意和建设性的方式提出批评。所以，挑战的一部分是弄清楚如何将批判性的自我反思融入科学文化本身，这样它就会成为这个过程中受欢迎的、完整的一部分，而不是令人尴尬的杂耍。可知，方法上的改革面临一些挑战，其中之一就是要弄清楚如何将批判性的自我反思融入科学文化本身，使其成为过程中受欢迎和整合的一部分，这说明科学社区应该实践批判性自我反思。故选D。
33．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to interpret as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic presumably shares."相反，从假设你是错的开始，批评更容易被解释为如何减少错误的建设性建议——你的批评者可能也有同样的目标；以及第五段中的"Without an appreciation for how science works, it's easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too."如果不了解科学是如何运作的，就很容易把不确定性或分歧当作反对科学的标志，而事实上，它们恰恰反映了科学的一些特征，正是这些特征使科学成为我们得出关于世界的可靠结论的最佳途径。科学是可靠的，因为它对证据作出反应：随着证据数量和质量的提高，我们的理论也可以而且应该改变、可知，"假定自己是错的"这种策略有助于科学家寻找更多的证据，提高了潜在研究结果的可靠性。故选B。
34．考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的"One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it's easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science."对这种方法的一个担忧是，它可能会使科学家情绪低落。努力少犯错误的动机可能不如承诺正确的动机有效。另一个担忧是，在科学领域行之有效的策略在与公众交流科学时可能会适得其反。如果不了解科学是如何运作的，就很容易把不确定性或分歧当作反对科学的标志)"可知，在科学领域，追求完全正确往往是一个理想化的目标，因为实现这个目标可能是困难的，甚至是不可能的。相比之下，追求变得"不那么错误"可能更为现实和可行。这种方法鼓励科学家不断学习和改进，接受在研究过程中会犯错的可能性，从而更好地理解和解决问题。虽然这种方法可能会减轻一些压力，但也可能会在一定程度上降低科学家的动机和信心，因为他们可能会觉得自己永远无法达到完美的正确性。因此，"假定自己是错的"这种策略可能会让科学家感到士气低落。划线词 demoralizing 是"情绪低落的，令人泄气的"之意，故选A。
35．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段"Despite these worries, I like Nosek's suggestion because it builds in cognitive humility along with a sense that we can do better. It also builds in a sense of community — we're all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right."尽管存在这些担忧，但我喜欢诺塞克的建议，因为它建立了认知上的谦卑，以及我们可以做得更好的感觉。它还建立了一种社区意识——当我们做错事的时候，我们都在同一条船上；以及最后一段的"Unfortunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypothesis (假说): that assuming one is wrong can change community norms for the better, and ultimately support better science and even, perhaps, better decisions in life. I don't know if that's true. In fact, I should probably assume that it's wrong. But with the benefit of the scientific community and our best methodological tools, I hope we can get it less wrong, together. "不幸的是，这仍然给我们留下了一个未经检验的假设：假设一个人是错的可以改变社会规范，并最终支持更好的科学，甚至可能是更好的生活决策。我不知道这是不是真的。事实上，我应该假设这是错的。但是有了科学界和我们最好的方法论工具的帮助，我希望我们能一起减少错误。可知，作者用幽默的语调一方面承认自己不确定这个假说是否正确，另一方面又对其抱有希望。可推知，作者在谈论这个未经检验的假设时使用的语气是反思和幽默的。故选D。

The Surprising Strength of"Weak" Social Ties
It's long been known that a community of supportive relationships improves our quality of life and can even help us recover from illness. 36． . Regularly interacting with a wide variety of social ties, both "weak" and "strong", enhances our satisfaction. A rich diversity of ties provides more significant benefits to well-being, and "weak" social ties can prove just as important to life satisfaction as core, or "strong" ties. 37． . There you can find the people who cheer, serve, support, comfort, educate, motivate, and entertain you.
Claire gets cheered up by going to the library and chatting with her favorite librarian every week. Sherry gets great joy from her Sunday breakfasts at a local diner because the manager and her favorite waitress are nice to her. 38． . I remember discussing Anna Karenina on an airplane with a wise economics professor, and finding meaningful moments of joy with street musicians and performers.
39． . When you show kindness to a stranger, your seemingly small act might stay in their memory as a source of support and positivity. Everyone needs to feel significant in the eyes of another. You could be that person for someone in your extended circle. That's why it's so important to reach out to people around you, especially when they're going through hard times.
When we feel blue or lonely, we tend to turn down social engagements, either to avoid the imagined embarrassment of being the only sad person in a group or because socializing with people we don't know well can be awkward at first. 40． . Being open to both our strong and weak ties allows us to benefit from the comfort, connection, and community they provide.
A. All of those connections matter — and so do you B. Harvard researcher Hanne Collins discovered something new C. Even those we meet only once can leave a lasting impression D. Our shared kindness and familiarity offer me a sense of community E. Interacting with the weak ties encourages us to behave more professionally F. But saying yes, despite the hesitation, offers an opportunity to feel less lonely G. So notice, pay attention to, and be grateful for your big, wide world of loose social ties

67．（2024高三上·湖南月考） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jim Barr stared in awe (敬畏) at the platform in the crowded school hall. The headmaster marched onto the stage, followed by the captains of the school soccer team and rugby side. Jim watched with envy as each was presented with an honor s jacket for their contribution to the school's sporting success over the previous year. When the next presentation of honors jacket would come around, Jim knew there was little hope that he would be the receiver of one of these treasured items of clothing.
"I wish you all a happy summer holiday, " the headmaster announced. "Although most of you will be going away to sunnier parts, there are others who will be staying near their home. The local council has asked the school to undertake a project over the next six weeks to help clear up rubbish around the area and separate it for recycling. If anyone is interested, come to my office and you will be supplied with a rubbish picker, bags and heavy-duty gloves. "
Jim knew he would be at a loose end over the holiday, so he went to the office along with five classmates to pick up the equipment needed to gather up the rubbish which littered the streets around the school. When he arrived home, his mother looked at him curiously as he placed the equipment on the kitchen table.
"What is this all about " she asked with a smile on her face. "Mum, I'm an average pupil and I'm not very good at sports, " he replied. "This waste recycling is one way I can contribute to the good name of the school. "
"Just as long as you don't get fed up and stop half way through, " said Mum.
"I won't give up. I have made up my mind to do it well, " Jim said confidently.

The first day of the new school year soon arrived and once again the school hall was packed with pupils. When the headmaster appeared, he was carrying a certificate which bore the logo of the local council. "Welcome back," he said, "The council has presented this certificate to the school in recognition of the work by one of our pupils. Jim Barr, please come to the platform."
Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Jim nervously made his way to the platform. The headmaster smiled at Jim. "This certificate you have worked so hard to achieve will hang in the school office, but you will get a personal award too." A teacher came onto the stage, bringing one of the honors jackets that Jim had admired so much. The headmaster asked Jim to remove his own jacket and helped him into the blazer that he thought he would never wear. As the pupils who had dropped out looked on enviously, Jim knew that collecting waste was certainly not a waste of time.

Books that Changed My Life
Frank Cottrell-Boyce is a multi-award-winning author and screenwriter who won the CILIP Carnegie Medal for his debut children's book, Millions. His new book The Wonder Brothers, a fun mystery-adventure about the biggest vanishing trick of all time, is out now.
HERE Is Real Magic, Nate Staniforth I could talk about this book forever! It's a memoir by a brilliant magician, Nate Staniforth, who has a belief in being able to do magic out of ordinary things. He has become a little jaded and disillusioned, so he takes himself to India to renew himself by taking his magic on the road. I'm very privileged to have been a writer all my life, but it's very difficult to stop it just being a job. You can lose touch with the joy of it. This book is about rediscovering the joy in your own talents and finding magic in the ordinary.
One Thousand and One Nights I won a copy of this book in a competition at school. It's kind of the opposite of finding the magic in the ordinary—it's about extravagance and amazing ness, bragging and lying. But I love it! It's really about how storytelling can save your life. The narrator is a woman facing a death sentence who is tell ng stories with these cli hangers (悬念) so she won't be killed. It's a book of wonders about how you can enchant (使入迷) someone with a story. As children's writer, you spend a lot of time in schools, telling stories to children who don't necessarily want to be there, gathering them up in a moment of laughter, excitement or nervousness. One Thousand and One Nights celebrates that you can confront someone who wants to kill you and, because of a cliffhanger they go, "I'll kill you tomorrow instead". It's the greatest celebration of the power of storytelling I can think of. Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K Jerome This is just the funniest book. And it's kind of about nothing. It's just three blokes in a boat going down the Thames and not being very good at it. That's all. It's just paying attention to the lovely details of ordinary life. It's so kind, so tender, and it's funnier than anything else. There are pages and pages of failing to get through a lock gate or getting lost in amaze. You don't need all these big twists and dramatic events to be funny, you can just be really overconfident that you can find your way out of amaze!
21．Which book is won by its owner as a prize for a competition
A．Millions B．Three Men in a Boat
C．One Thousand and One Nights D．Here Is Real Magic
22．If you want to find magic in the ordinary, who should you read
A．Nate Staniforth B．Frank Cottrell-Boyce
C．Jerome K Jerome D．Dale Carnegie
23．What is the article intended to do
A．To compare different books. B．To recommend books.
C．To comment on books. D．To list best-sellers.

It was in a brightly-lit room in Mexico City, Mexico, that on June 18, 2014 it was announced that India-born Dr Sanjaya Rajaram had been named the winner of the World Food Prize.
Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties, which have been two distinct and isolated gene pools (分离的基因库) since the beginning of farming. And because of this breakthrough, the scientist has been able to breed over 480 wheat varieties.
Born in Varanasi in 1943, Dr Rajaram lived with his family off a plot of land growing wheat, rice and maize. "After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started, " said Dr Rajaram.
"Every country is unique — there are climate systems, culture, the financial situation and each of the nations I visited needed a different set of solutions, " said Dr Rajaram. His solutions became part of what is widely described as the world's first "wheat network", a global exchange of "genetic information and innovations among researchers". His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions.
After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. "In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I've never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there's a bit of music I like to listen to and that's pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what's possible and today, there's still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry. "
24．Why was Dr Rajaram awarded the World Food Prize
A．He improved several wheat varieties genetically.
B．He crossbred the winter and spring wheat varieties.
C．He successfully bred two wheat varieties.
D．He found the difference between the winter and spring wheat varieties.
25．When did Dr Rajaram start to work on plant breeding
A．During his college years in India.
B．While doing his PhD in Australia.
C．After becoming a member of CIMMYT in Mexico.
D．While living with his family near wheat-growing land.
26．What is one advantage of the wheat varieties developed by Dr Rajaram
A．They can be planted in any season.
B．They are free from the attack of some pant diseases.
C．They can grow well in terrible environments.
D．They can grow taller than traditional ones.
27．What can we learn about Dr Rajaram from the last paragraph
A．He was too busy with work to develop any hobby.
B．He wasn't satisfied with the results of his research.
C．He planned to do research in a new field of science.
D．He made his mind to work on world food problems.

The prodigious ability of our species to rapidly assimilate vocabulary, expanding from a mere 300 lexemes by the tender age of two to an impressive repertoire exceeding 1, 000 by the age of four, remains a subject of profound enigma. Certain scholars in the realms of cognitive science and linguistics have posited that the human mind enters the world equipped with innate cognitive predispositions and logical parameters that facilitate this linguistic feat. However, recent advancements in the sphere of machine learning have unveiled the potential for swift acquisition of semantic understanding from sparse data, eschewing the need for preconceived, hardwired assumptions.
An ensemble of researchers has triumphantly honed a rudimentary artificial intelligence construct to correlate visual representations with their corresponding lexical entities, utilizing a mere 61 hours of ambient visual recordings and auditory data — previously amassed from an individual known as Sam during the years 2013 and 2014. Though this represents but a minuscule fraction of a child's developmental chronicle, it transpires that this was sufficiently informative to prompt the AI in discerning the significance of select vocables.
These revelations intimate that the process of linguistic acquisition may be more straightforward than hitherto presumed. It is conceivable that the juvenile mind does not necessitate a tailor-made, sophisticated linguistic apparatus to adeptly apprehend the essence of words, posits Jessica Sullivan, an adjunct professor of psychology at Skidmore College. "This is an exceptionally elegant inquiry, " she articulates, as it presents corroborative evidence that rudimentary data extracted from a child's perspective is sufficiently abundant to initiate the processes of pattern recognition and lexical assimilation.
The recent scholarly endeavor also illustrates the plausibility of machines emulating the learning modalities inherent to human cognition. Vast linguistic models are typically nurtured on colossal datasets encompassing billions, if not trillions, of lexical permutations. In stark contrast, human beings manage with a significantly reduced informational intake, as articulated by the principal scribe of the study, Wai Keen Vong. With the appropriate genre of data, the chasm separating machine and human learning could be substantially bridged.
Nevertheless, further investigation is warranted in select dimensions of this pioneering research. The savants concede that their findings do not conclusively elucidate the mechanisms by which children amass vocabulary. Additionally, the study's purview was confined to the identification of nouns pertaining to tangible entities.
Despite these limitations, this represents a stride toward a more profound comprehension of our own cognitive faculties, which may ultimately contribute to the enhancement of human pedagogical practices, according to Eva Portelance, a scholar in computational linguistics. She remarks that AI research has the potential to shed light on enigmatic queries about our essence that have persisted over time. "We can harness these paradigms in a salutary manner, to the advantage of scientific discovery and societal progress, " Portelance further elaborates.
28．What is a significant finding of machine-learning research
A．Vocabulary increases gradually with age.
B．Vocabulary can be acquired from minimal data.
C．Language acquisition is tied to built-in expectations.
D．Language acquisition is as complex as formerly assumed.
29．What does the underlined word "prompt" in paragraph 2 mean
A．Facilitate. B．Persuade. C．Advise. D．Expect.
30．What is discussed about the new research in paragraph 5
A．Its limitations. B．Its strengths.
C．Its uniqueness. D．Its process.
31．What is Eva Portelance's attitude to the AI research
A．Doubtful. B．Cautious. C．Dismissive. D．Positive.

"Assume you are wrong. " The advice came from Brian Nosek, a psychology professor, who was offering a strategy for pursuing better science.
To understand the context for Nosek's advice, we need to take a step back to the nature of science itself. You see despite what many of us learned in elementary school, there is no single scientific method. Just as scientific theories become elaborated and change, so do scientific methods.
But methodological reform hasn't come without some fretting and friction. Nasty things have been said by and about methodological reformers. Few people like having the value of their life's work called into question. On the other side, few people are good at voicing criticisms in kind and constructive ways. So, part of the challenge is figuring out how to bake critical self-reflection into the culture of science itself, so it unfolds as a welcome and integrated part of the process, and not an embarrassing sideshow.
What Nosek recommended was a strategy for changing the way we offer and respond to critique. Assuming you are right might be a motivating force, sustaining the enormous effort that conducting scientific work requires. But it also makes it easy to interpret criticisms as personal attacks. Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to interpret as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic presumably shares.
One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it's easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too.
Despite these worries, I like Nosek's suggestion because it builds in cognitive humility along with a sense that we can do better. It also builds in a sense of community — we're all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right.
Unfortunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypothesis (假说): that assuming one is wrong can change community norms for the better, and ultimately support better science and even, perhaps, better decisions in life. I don't know if that's true. In fact, I should probably assume that it's wrong. But with the benefit of the scientific community and our best methodological tools, I hope we can get it less wrong, together.
32．What can we learn from Paragraph 3
A．Reformers tend to devalue researchers' work.
B．Scientists are unwilling to express kind criticisms.
C．People hold wrong assumptions about the culture of science.
D．The scientific community should practice critical self-reflection.
33．The strategy of "assuming you are wrong" may contribute to ____.
A．the enormous efforts of scientists at work
B．the reliability of potential research results
C．the public's passion for scientific findings
D．the improvement in the quality of evidence
34．The underlined word "demoralizing" in Paragraph 5 means ____.
A．discouraging B．ineffective C．unfair D．misleading
35．The tone the author uses in talking about the untested hypothesis is ____.
A．doubtful but sincere B．disapproving but soft
C．authoritative and direct D．reflective and humorous

The Surprising Strength of"Weak" Social Ties
It's long been known that a community of supportive relationships improves our quality of life and can even help us recover from illness. 36． . Regularly interacting with a wide variety of social ties, both "weak" and "strong", enhances our satisfaction. A rich diversity of ties provides more significant benefits to well-being, and "weak" social ties can prove just as important to life satisfaction as core, or "strong" ties. 37． . There you can find the people who cheer, serve, support, comfort, educate, motivate, and entertain you.
Claire gets cheered up by going to the library and chatting with her favorite librarian every week. Sherry gets great joy from her Sunday breakfasts at a local diner because the manager and her favorite waitress are nice to her. 38． . I remember discussing Anna Karenina on an airplane with a wise economics professor, and finding meaningful moments of joy with street musicians and performers.
39． . When you show kindness to a stranger, your seemingly small act might stay in their memory as a source of support and positivity. Everyone needs to feel significant in the eyes of another. You could be that person for someone in your extended circle. That's why it's so important to reach out to people around you, especially when they're going through hard times.
When we feel blue or lonely, we tend to turn down social engagements, either to avoid the imagined embarrassment of being the only sad person in a group or because socializing with people we don't know well can be awkward at first. 40． . Being open to both our strong and weak ties allows us to benefit from the comfort, connection, and community they provide.
A. All of those connections matter — and so do you B. Harvard researcher Hanne Collins discovered something new C. Even those we meet only once can leave a lasting impression D. Our shared kindness and familiarity offer me a sense of community E. Interacting with the weak ties encourages us to behave more professionally F. But saying yes, despite the hesitation, offers an opportunity to feel less lonely G. So notice, pay attention to, and be grateful for your big, wide world of loose social ties

Jim Barr stared in awe (敬畏) at the platform in the crowded school hall. The headmaster marched onto the stage, followed by the captains of the school soccer team and rugby side. Jim watched with envy as each was presented with an honor s jacket for their contribution to the school's sporting success over the previous year. When the next presentation of honors jacket would come around, Jim knew there was little hope that he would be the receiver of one of these treasured items of clothing.
"I wish you all a happy summer holiday, " the headmaster announced. "Although most of you will be going away to sunnier parts, there are others who will be staying near their home. The local council has asked the school to undertake a project over the next six weeks to help clear up rubbish around the area and separate it for recycling. If anyone is interested, come to my office and you will be supplied with a rubbish picker, bags and heavy-duty gloves. "
Jim knew he would be at a loose end over the holiday, so he went to the office along with five classmates to pick up the equipment needed to gather up the rubbish which littered the streets around the school. When he arrived home, his mother looked at him curiously as he placed the equipment on the kitchen table.
"What is this all about " she asked with a smile on her face. "Mum, I'm an average pupil and I'm not very good at sports, " he replied. "This waste recycling is one way I can contribute to the good name of the school. "
"Just as long as you don't get fed up and stop half way through, " said Mum.
"I won't give up. I have made up my mind to do it well, " Jim said confidently.

W: He sounds like one of those motivating heroes you find in storybooks.
M: Yeah, he is. And a storybook is one place where you do need proper heroes.

【知识点】独白
【解析】【听力原文】M: Russian designer Harry Nuriev's latest sofa is made from a pile of waste bags. He wants it to draw attention to waste things and how we use them. The piece was based on an idea he first explored at a fair in 2019, when he presented a sofa made from old clothes. The project commented on the fashion industry's waste problem, which is mainly generated by cheap, trend-responsive "fast fashion". The project also drew a direct line between the waste problem and the furniture industry. It's estimated that 9 million tons of furniture are thrown away every single year, and over 80% of it ends up in landfill. Add to that the carbon releases caused by producing and shipping it, and the furniture industry looks like another threat to the global climate. With so much waste furniture, brands that make typically "fast" furniture are announcing efforts to change. Some companies commit to using only renewable or recyclable material s to cut carbon release. Katie Treggiden, design expert and author of Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure, said that having a long life has been a key selling message among responsible furniture companies for a long time. She added they also need to offer repair and take-back service to give their products a second life.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了小麦育种专家Sanjaya Rajaram成功培育出冬春杂交小麦品种，获得世界粮食奖。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇故事类阅读，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。
24．考查细节理解。根据第一段"It was in a brightly-lit room in Mexico City, Mexico, that on June 18, 2014 it was announced that India-born Dr Sanjaya Rajaram had been named the winner of the World Food Prize."2014年6月18日，在墨西哥墨西哥城一个灯火通明的房间里，印度出生的Sanjaya Rajaram博士被宣布为世界粮食奖获得者；以及第二段中的"Dr Rajaram won this award for successfully crossbreeding (杂交) the winter and spring wheat (小麦) varieties,"Rajaram博士因成功杂交冬小麦和春小麦品种而获得该奖项。知，Sanjaya Rajaram博士被授予世界粮食奖，是因为他杂交了冬小麦和春小麦品种。故选B。
25．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"After my education here in India, I went off to Australia for my PhD and soon I joined CIMMYT (the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre) in Mexico, where my career as a plant breeder started,"在印度接受教育后，我去了澳大利亚攻读博士学位，很快我加入了墨西哥的CIMMYT（国际玉米小麦改良中心），在那里我开始了我的植物育种者职业生涯。可知，Rajaram博士加入国际玉米小麦改良中心后，开始从事植物育种工作。故选C。
26．考查细节理解。根据第四段中的"His varieties of wheat were strong in nutrition, delayed (延迟) the attack of some plant diseases and were able to survive the severest of conditions."他的小麦品种营养丰富，延迟了一些植物病害的侵袭，能够在最恶劣的条件下存活下来。可知，Rajaram博士培育的小麦品种能在恶劣的环境中生长。故选C。
27．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"After nearly half a century in the field, Dr Rajaram said his work was still not finished. ‘In science, you never stop learning. I have been doing this all my life and I've never really had time for anything else. As far as hobbies go, well, there's a bit of music I like to listen to and that's pretty much it. I have been on a long journey of pushing the boundaries (边界) of what's possible and today, there's still work left. Learning must never stop and the world must not go hungry.'"在该领域工作了近半个世纪后，Rajaram博士说他的工作还没有完成。"在科学领域，你永远不会停止学习。我一辈子都在做这件事，我从来没有真正有时间做其他事情。就爱好而言，好吧，有一点我喜欢听的音乐，几乎就是这样。我一直在努力突破可能的极限，今天还有工作要做。学习永远不能停止，世界也不能挨饿。"可知，Rajaram博士已经在粮食领域工作了数十年，他认为自己还有很多工作要做，需要不断学习，让世界人民不再饥饿。可推断，他决定致力于解决世界粮食问题。故选D。

【知识点】词义猜测题；细节理解题；段落大意；说明文；科普类
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了机器学习人类语言的优点及其缺陷。
【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，要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上，进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，概括和归纳，从而选出正确答案。
28．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"However, recent advancements in the sphere of machine learning have unveiled the potential for swift acquisition of semantic understanding from sparse data, eschewing the need for preconceived, hardwired assumptions."然而，机器学习领域的最新进展揭示了从少量的数据中快速获取语义理解的潜力，避免了对先入为主的、僵化的假设的需求；以及第二段中的"An ensemble of researchers has triumphantly honed a rudimentary artificial intelligence construct to correlate visual representations with their corresponding lexical entities, utilizing a mere 61 hours of ambient visual recordings and auditory data—previously amassed from an individual known as Sam during the years 2013 and 2014. "一组研究人员成功地完善了一个基本的人工智能结构，将视觉表征与相应的词汇实体关联起来，只利用了 61 小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据——这些数据是 2013 年和 2014 年期间从一个名叫 Sam 的人那里收集的。可知，机器学习领域的最新进展揭示了从少量的数据中快速获取语义理解的潜力，且一组研究人员成功地完善了一个基本的人工智能结构，将视觉表征与相应的词汇实体关联起来，只利用了 61 小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据，所以说机器学习领可以从最少的数据中获取词汇。故选B。
29．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"An ensemble of researchers has triumphantly honed a rudimentary artificial intelligence construct to correlate visual representations with their corresponding lexical entities, utilizing a mere 61 hours of ambient visual recordings and auditory data—previously amassed from an individual known as Sam during the years 2013 and 2014. "一组研究人员成功地完善了一个基本的人工智能结构，将视觉表征与相应的词汇实体关联起来，只利用了 61 小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据——这些数据是 2013 年和 2014 年期间从一个名叫 Sam 的人那里收集的；以及"Though this represents but a minuscule fraction of a child's developmental chronicle, it transpires that this was sufficiently informative to prompt the AI in discerning the significance of select vocables."虽然这只代表了儿童成长历程的一小部分，但事实证明，这足以prompt人工智能辨别出特定词汇的重要性。可知，研究人员通过观察一个名为Sam的个体在2013年和2014年收集的61小时的环境视觉记录和听觉数据，足以促使AI辨别出特定词汇的意义，可推知划线词 prompt 意为"促使"，故选A。
30．考查段落大意。根据第五段"Nevertheless, further investigation is warranted in select dimensions of this pioneering research. The savants concede that their findings do not conclusively elucidate the mechanisms by which children amass vocabulary. Additionally, the study's purview was confined to the identification of nouns pertaining to tangible entities."尽管如此，这项开创性研究的某些方面仍需要进一步研究。这些学者承认，他们的研究结果并不能最终阐明儿童积累词汇量的机制。此外，这项研究的范围仅限于识别与有形实体有关的名词。可知，第五段讨论了新研究的局限性，包括研究范围仅限于识别与有形实体有关的名词，以及研究结果并不能最终阐明儿童积累词汇量的机制，故选A。
31．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Despite these limitations, this represents a stride toward a more profound comprehension of our own cognitive faculties, which may ultimately contribute to the enhancement of human pedagogical practices, according to Eva Portelance, a scholar in computational linguistics."计算语言学学者伊娃·波特兰斯 (Eva Portelance) 表示，尽管存在这些局限性，但这代表着我们朝着更深刻地理解自身认知能力迈出了一步，最终可能有助于提高人类的教学实践。可知，Eva Portelance认为AI研究有助于我们更深刻地理解自身认知能力，并可能有助于提高人类的教学实践，可推知，她对AI研究的态度是积极的，故选D。

【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；学习教育类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，心理学教授BrianNosek提出"假定自己是错的"这一建议用于追求更好的科学，围绕该建议展开，论述其背景、面临的挑战及担忧，作者虽对这一假说存疑，但喜欢该建议，希望借助科学社区和方法工具，共同减少错误。
【点评】本题考点涉及词义猜测和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇教育类阅读，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。
32．考查推理判断。根据第三段"But methodological reform hasn't come without some fretting and friction. Nasty things have been said by and about methodological reformers. Few people like having the value of their life's work called into question. On the other side, few people are good at voicing criticisms in kind and constructive ways. So, part of the challenge is figuring out how to bake critical self-reflection into the culture of science itself, so it unfolds as a welcome and integrated part of the process, and not an embarrassing sideshow."但方法改革并非没有一些烦恼和摩擦。方法论改革家说了很多难听的话，也说了很多关于他们的坏话。很少有人喜欢自己毕生工作的价值受到质疑。另一方面，很少有人善于以善意和建设性的方式提出批评。所以，挑战的一部分是弄清楚如何将批判性的自我反思融入科学文化本身，这样它就会成为这个过程中受欢迎的、完整的一部分，而不是令人尴尬的杂耍。可知，方法上的改革面临一些挑战，其中之一就是要弄清楚如何将批判性的自我反思融入科学文化本身，使其成为过程中受欢迎和整合的一部分，这说明科学社区应该实践批判性自我反思。故选D。
33．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的"Beginning, instead, from the assumption you are wrong, a criticism is easier to interpret as a constructive suggestion for how to be less wrong — a goal that your critic presumably shares."相反，从假设你是错的开始，批评更容易被解释为如何减少错误的建设性建议——你的批评者可能也有同样的目标；以及第五段中的"Without an appreciation for how science works, it's easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science, when in fact they reflect some of the very features of science that make it our best approach to reaching reliable conclusions about the world. Science is reliable because it responds to evidence: as the quantity and quality of our evidence improves, our theories can and should change, too."如果不了解科学是如何运作的，就很容易把不确定性或分歧当作反对科学的标志，而事实上，它们恰恰反映了科学的一些特征，正是这些特征使科学成为我们得出关于世界的可靠结论的最佳途径。科学是可靠的，因为它对证据作出反应：随着证据数量和质量的提高，我们的理论也可以而且应该改变、可知，"假定自己是错的"这种策略有助于科学家寻找更多的证据，提高了潜在研究结果的可靠性。故选B。
34．考查词义猜测。根据第五段中的"One worry about this approach is that it could be demoralizing for scientists. Striving to be less wrong might be a less effective motivation than the promise of being right. Another concern is that a strategy that works well within science could backfire when it comes to communicating science with the public. Without an appreciation for how science works, it's easy to take uncertainty or disagreements as marks against science."对这种方法的一个担忧是，它可能会使科学家情绪低落。努力少犯错误的动机可能不如承诺正确的动机有效。另一个担忧是，在科学领域行之有效的策略在与公众交流科学时可能会适得其反。如果不了解科学是如何运作的，就很容易把不确定性或分歧当作反对科学的标志)"可知，在科学领域，追求完全正确往往是一个理想化的目标，因为实现这个目标可能是困难的，甚至是不可能的。相比之下，追求变得"不那么错误"可能更为现实和可行。这种方法鼓励科学家不断学习和改进，接受在研究过程中会犯错的可能性，从而更好地理解和解决问题。虽然这种方法可能会减轻一些压力，但也可能会在一定程度上降低科学家的动机和信心，因为他们可能会觉得自己永远无法达到完美的正确性。因此，"假定自己是错的"这种策略可能会让科学家感到士气低落。划线词 demoralizing 是"情绪低落的，令人泄气的"之意，故选A。
35．考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段"Despite these worries, I like Nosek's suggestion because it builds in cognitive humility along with a sense that we can do better. It also builds in a sense of community — we're all in the same boat when it comes to falling short of getting things right."尽管存在这些担忧，但我喜欢诺塞克的建议，因为它建立了认知上的谦卑，以及我们可以做得更好的感觉。它还建立了一种社区意识——当我们做错事的时候，我们都在同一条船上；以及最后一段的"Unfortunately, this still leaves us with an untested hypothesis (假说): that assuming one is wrong can change community norms for the better, and ultimately support better science and even, perhaps, better decisions in life. I don't know if that's true. In fact, I should probably assume that it's wrong. But with the benefit of the scientific community and our best methodological tools, I hope we can get it less wrong, together. "不幸的是，这仍然给我们留下了一个未经检验的假设：假设一个人是错的可以改变社会规范，并最终支持更好的科学，甚至可能是更好的生活决策。我不知道这是不是真的。事实上，我应该假设这是错的。但是有了科学界和我们最好的方法论工具的帮助，我希望我们能一起减少错误。可知，作者用幽默的语调一方面承认自己不确定这个假说是否正确，另一方面又对其抱有希望。可推知，作者在谈论这个未经检验的假设时使用的语气是反思和幽默的。故选D。

I hope this letter finds you well and excited about your upcoming interview for the summer job. I remember how nervous yet thrilled I was before my own interview last year, so I thought I'd share some tips that might help you ace yours.

Over the next few weeks, his classmates dropped out of the project. But Jim kept on. Some of his friends laughed at him, thinking it was a waste of time. Nevertheless, Jim decided to stick it out. The first day of the new school year soon arrived and once again the school hall was packed with pupils. When the headmaster appeared, he was carrying a certificate which bore the logo of the local council. "Welcome back," he said, "The council has presented this certificate to the school in recognition of the work by one of our pupils. Jim Barr, please come to the platform."
Hearing his name called by the headmaster, Jim nervously made his way to the platform. The headmaster smiled at Jim. "This certificate you have worked so hard to achieve will hang in the school office, but you will get a personal award too." A teacher came onto the stage, bringing one of the honors jackets that Jim had admired so much.
