I switched to a flip phone(翻盖手机). It vastly improved my life. I felt empty and frustrated at how much time I spent on my smartphone. So I spent the last five years steadily stripping my phone down to the basics. Social media was the first to go, then email, then news apps, and then even internet browsers.
I long considered switching to a flip phone, but I always found an excuse to stay. Ultimately it was two of my students, 15- and 18-year-old sisters, who pushed me over the edge. Word spread around school that they had bought flip phones. If they were brave enough to take the plunge, I could, too. I spent $9 on a flip phone, plus $120 for a year of unlimited talk and text on a new number. For the last five months, I haven’t carried a smartphone with me, just my flip phone.
This is the charming, romantic side of owning a flip phone: more conversations, more eye contact, more connection. The separation between work and life is much more noticeable. I don’t overthink work emails all day, since I no longer carry my work email in my pocket. I am living more like my creative, curious, phone-free children.
This all sounds wonderful because it is wonderful. And now it’s confession time: I still have my smartphone. As it turns out, our addiction to smartphones is not just on an individual level. Intentionally or not, we have built structures that depend upon smartphone access, making it an essential feature of modern life. While most of the flip phone inconveniences are charming, some of them are so frustrating that they make you want to pull your hair out.
Despite that, I will continue to use a flip phone as my primary phone so I don’t have to carry a smartphone with me. And I will continue to evangelize for it. I hope many others get flip phones. We will all be better for it. If nothing else, it’ll be nice to have more people to talk to in the grocery line.
24. What drove the author to switch to a flip phone
A. Disturbance of social media. B. Overspent time on his smartphone.
C. Inspiration from his students. D. Negative feelings to smartphones.
25. What happened after the author used a flip phone
A. He got less work assignments. B. He had more interaction with people.
C. He spent more time with his children. D. He lived a more romantic life.
26. Why is it difficult to stop using smartphones completely nowadays
A. They serve as a vital tool. B. They make people overthink.
C. They represent the modern life. D. They bring people many profits.
27. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage
A. To advise readers to use a flip phone. B. To advocate living without a smartphone.
C. To inform readers of a flip phone’s advantages. D. To stress the disadvantages of having a smartphone.
C
The oak tree has been in southern England continuously for 12,000 years. But does it have a future
By 2050, London’s weather could resemble that of Barcelona, with long stretches of summer drought. These ancient trees were not designed to thrive in such conditions. Around the world, millions of creatures facing unprecedented temperatures and habitat loss are on the move.
We do not tend to think of trees as migratory: they are slow-growing and rooted to the ground. Faced with this problem, the ecologist Charlie Gardner is one of a growing number proposing a radical, controversial solution: we help the trees on their march. Some scientists advocate moving individual species hundreds of kilo-metres north, within the country and from abroad. Others say entire ecosystems should be trans-located, moving multiple species at once.
The “assisted migration” is divisive. Conservationists have long argued against introducing non-native species. They have concerns about unintended consequences of assisted migration. “Large-scale moving of ecosystems can’t be undone(撤销), so should be very much a last choice,” said Andrew Allen from the Woodland Trust. Allen believes we should prioritise helping native trees adapt to changes by encouraging natural regeneration, expanding and connecting existing woodlands.
But others say those arguments fail to deal with speed or size of change caused by the climate crisis. “Earlier in my career the narrative was all about restoring past baselines, and then, as I got more independent in my research, I realised that’s impossible. We are changing the climate so much, so we have to be a little more inventive. When we have examples of assisted migration, it’s often with species which are absolutely on the edge of extinction and have run out of other options,” said Sarah Dalrymple, a conservation ecologist from Liverpool University, who is part of the task force. She wants to see assisted migration explored earlier, working with species before their populations become so small. “You can never get rid of all the risks, but there is also risk in inaction,” she said. “The risk of inaction is increasing every day.”
28. What is the problem facing ancient trees in London
A. Long summer. B. Habitat destruction. C. Extreme weather. D. Slow growth.
29. Which of the following statements may Andrew Allen agree with
A. Large-scale moving of ecosystems is impossible. B. Assisted migration may contribute to bad results.
C. Non-native species are beneficial to ecosystems. D. Native species can survive changes by themselves.
30. What does Sarah Dalrymple urge people to do in the last paragraph
A. Stop changing the climate. B. Have more options to help species.
C. Help native trees to adapt to climate changes. D. Take action earlier to prevent species ’ extinction.
31. What might be the author’s attitude towards assisted migration
A. Supportive. B. Cautious. C. Objective. D. Doubtful.
D
In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more han 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.
The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.”
Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”
The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs ” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.”
32. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s .
A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability.
33. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”
A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept.
C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments.
34. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen.
35. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work
B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces
C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off
D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives

Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered. With work, school, or a busy schedule, things are bound to get jumbled(乱糟糟的) every once and a while! 36 From focusing to journaling, we’ll teach you how to mindfully distract yourself from worrying thoughts.
Focus on the present moment. Practice mindfulness daily to help clear your mind and be more focused. Mindfulness is all about letting all other thoughts come and go. Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgement, as if you’re an outsider in your own mind. 37
Take a walk. 38 When you’re being mindful, you’re fully engaging in the present moment, letting feelings come and go as you focus on what’s in front of bining this state of mind with walking produces an extra special stress reliever that improves mental and physical health. Try scheduling a walk around the block, on the treadmill, or through a local park every day.
39 Take a moment to breathe and come back to the present moment. Life can easily become go, go, go, and in the process, you can easily forget to breathe. Settling down wherever you are to take controlled breaths can calm your racing mind and heartbeat, helping you feel more relaxed.
Journal your thoughts. Writing down your worries can help you sort through them. Try reaching for a notebook or phone when a million thoughts are racing through your mind. 40 Journaling can help you be more aware of your emotions and reflect on what’s troubling you.
A. Do deep breathing exercises.
B. Take a moment to slow down.
C. Moving your body mindfully can help things seem clearer.
D. But you can do something to clear your mind and calm things down.
E. Set down everything that comes to mind, letting all pour out onto the page.
F. Then let those thoughts and feelings go and focus on what you’re currently doing instead. G. Here are some tips on how to protect your head from brain injury and then start your work.

When Devon’s sister, Lil, went off to college, Devon’s stomach felt all twisty. Then Mom said that Kapil, a high-school student from India, would be staying in their house and living in Lil’s room, for they were the host family. The piece of news made Devon’s stomach feel worse, as he missed his sister so much. “What if I can’t understand him ” Devon asked. “He speaks English well,” Mom said.
On Kapil’s first day, he exchanged some small talk with Devon before disappearing into his new room. Lil’s room, Devon reminded himself. As days went on, Kapil started spending more time in the rest of the house. He was in the kitchen a lot, whose cooking always filled the air with steam and spice that made Devon’s eyes water. “Smells wonderful!” Mom exclaimed. When Lil called a few days later, Devon told her about Kapil’s cooking. “Lucky! I love Indian food!” Lil said. “But it seems too spicy for me,” replied Devon.
One day, Mom had to work late. “Kapil will stay with you until I get home,” she explained. Devon’s stomach twisted. Lil had always stayed with him when Mom had to work late.
When Devon got home from school, Kapil greeted him at the door. “Would you like a snack ” Kapil asked. Devon shrugged. Lil and he used to cook together after school, which they called “making messes.” Kapil opened the refrigerator. “How about a yogurt ” “I had one at breakfast,” responded Devon in a cold voice. Kapil opened a cupboard and smiled. “Wait here.” He returned with a package. “I’ll cook an Indian snack,” he announced. Kapil pulled out around, thin cracker the size of a small Frisbee, poured oil into a pan and fried the cracker. Then the kitchen was filled with spicy smells. After a while, Kapil handed Devon a plate with the sizzling pancake on it. “Papadum(印度薄饼),” he said. “Made from bean flour.”

M: Today I’m with Jenny Braintree, who paints the whole world in small paintings on littlestones she finds at the seaside. Jenny, you took up this hobby four years ago and …
W: Ah, it was four months ago, actually. In fact, I was on a beach holiday with my parents in Australia and I collected loads of nice, smooth small stones. When I got home, I started to paint tiny images of beautiful places like the Swiss mountains and the Brazilian rainforest. I’ve done 89 so far.
M: Amazing! These pictures are no more than five centimeters across and yet they contain so
much detail. So, do you earn anything from all your hard work
W: Dad thinks I could sell them, but I’m not interested in that and anyway, they’re too special to me. My real aim is to get better at painting. And although I haven’t been to the places I draw on the stones, it can be really good fun finding out about them on the Internet.

W: Mr. Johnson, can I speak to you for a minute
M: Sure, Annie. What’s on your mind
W: I’m just wondering how I’m doing in the class.
M: Is there something you find difficult about Spanish
W: Well, I’m a native French speaker, so I understand most of its grammar.
M: That makes sense. The two languages are very similar. In fact, Spanish is similar to Italian and Portuguese, too. That’s why you have such good pronunciation as well.
W: Then why can’t I express myself on paper
M: Don’t be so hard on yourself, Annie. Right now the important thing is that you can have simple conversations by using the vocabulary we learn in the books.
W: So you are saying I’m not falling behind
M: Of course not. In fact, you are doing better than most of your classmates. Remember, this is a beginners’ class. If this were an advanced class, I would be concerned.
W: OK, thanks, Mr. Johnson. That makes me feel better.

A huge fire in a poor area in the capital of Bangladesh Dhaka has left around 10, 000 people without a place to live in. The fire broke out on Friday and destroyed thousands of homes. The fire took place in an overcrowded neighborhood called Mirpur. Mirpur is home to many people who work in factories making clothing. Most do not earn much money and can’t afford to live anywhere else. The fire began shortly before 7:30 on Friday night and spread quickly through the area. It took 125 fire fighters over six hours to get the fire under control. Fire fighters said that it was difficult to get water, which made their work even more difficult. Most of the people who lived in the neighborhood were not at home when the fire was burning. So far it looks like the fire did not kill anyone and only injured around four people. But for the 10,000 who were left homeless, life will be hard. They are currently staying at crowded camps at nearby schools that were empty for the holiday.
部分试题详解(由龚露工作室制作整理)
A篇
A篇介绍了纽约大学国际学生中心(I-Hub)旨在帮助新国际学生适应新环境,提供购物建议,体验美国文化,以及了解当地生活所开展的四项活动:宜家购物之旅、曼哈顿杂货店购物、在科尼岛的美妙夜晚以及探索唐人街。
21. D 文章提到在曼哈顿杂货店购物活动中,学生可以得到购物建议和如何找到最优惠的交易,故选D。
22. B A主要是文化探索和品尝美食,C,D都是购物活动,故选B。
23. D 对于A,虽然有些活动涉及购物,但并非所有活动都是购物体验;对于B,文章中没有提到所有活动都需要乘坐公共交通工具;对于C,只有“探索唐人街”活动与学习中国文化有关,另外, 文章开头明确指出,这些活动是由I-Hub为纽约大学的新国际学生提供的,故选D。
B篇
B篇讲述了作者从智能手机转向使用翻盖手机的经历和感受。作者最初因为感到空虚和沮丧,决定减少对智能手机的依赖,逐步剥离了社交媒体、电子邮件、新闻应用甚至网络浏览器。受到两位学生的影响,作者最终购买了翻盖手机,并发现这极大地改善了他的生活,并鼓励他人也进行使用翻盖手机尝试的故事。
24. C 文章中提到,是作者的两位学生,一对15岁和18岁的姐妹,推动他做出了这个决定。学校里流传着她们买了翻盖手机的消息,这激发了作者也去尝试,故选C。
25. B 文章中提到,使用翻盖手机后作者体验到了更多的对话、更多的眼神交流和更多的联系,这表明他与人的互动增加了,故选B。
26. A 文章中提到,尽管翻盖手机的不便之处很有魅力,但同时有些不便之处非常令人沮丧,以至于让人想要抓狂。这暗示了智能手机在现代生活中扮演着重要角色,难以完全放弃,故选A。
27. A文中作者表达了他将继续使用翻盖手机作为主要通讯工具,并鼓励其他人也这样做。他希望许多人能得到翻盖手机,认为这将使人们生活得更好,故选A。
C篇
C篇讨论了气候变化对古老树木的影响,特别是伦敦的橡树。由于气候变暖,伦敦的天气可能变得类似于巴塞罗那,夏季干旱时间延长,这对不适应这种条件的古老树木构成了威胁。文章介绍了“辅助迁移”这一有争议的解决方案,即通过人为帮助树木迁移到更适合它们生长的地方。对于这一方案,部分生态学家表示支持,部分生态学家认为应该持谨慎态度,认为大规模迁移生态系统是最后的选择,应优先考虑帮助本地树木适应变化。文章最后,作者提出了对“辅助迁移”的客观看法,认为这是一个值得探讨的解决方案。
28. C 文章提到,到2050年,伦敦的天气可能类似于巴塞罗那,有着长时间的夏季干旱。这些古老的树木并不是为了在这种条件下茁壮成长的。因此,极端天气是它们面临的问题,故选C。
29. B Andrew Allen 认为大规模迁移生态系统是最后的选择,并且他担心辅助迁移可能带来的不良后果,表明他可能同意辅助迁移可能导致不良结果的观点,故选B。
30. D Sarah Dalrymple 强调了在物种灭绝风险增加之前尽早采取行动的重要性。她认为无法消除所有的风险,但无所作为也有风险,因此她敦促人们在物种数量变得太少之前就开始探索辅助迁移,故选D。
31. C 作者在文章中呈现了不同的观点,包括支持和反对辅助迁移的论点,并且没有明显倾向于任何一方。作者提到了辅助迁移的争议性,并引用了不同专家的观点,这表明作者对辅助迁移持有客观的态度,故选C。
D篇
D篇探讨了人们为何会拒绝那些看起来“太好而不真实”的免费或异常便宜的服务的原因。研究表明,因为认为这些提议背后可能隐藏着动机,即所谓的“幽灵成本”,所以人们倾向于拒绝这些提议。文章通过一系列实验展示了人们在面对高潜在收益时,如何因为担心“幽灵成本”而减少接受提议的可能性。研究还发现,提供合理的解释可以减轻这种效应,使人们更愿意接受看似不合常理的交易。此外,研究者正在探索这种现象是否也适用于人与机器人或人工智能的互动。
32. B 第二段描述了多个实验,这些实验涉及人们在面对不同情境时的决策过程,如是否接受免费的饼干、是否接受高价的建筑工作或异常便宜的航班。这些实验的目的是研究人们在决策时如何受到潜在的“幽灵成本”影响,故选B。
33. A 作者提到“标准经济模型”是为了解释实验结果与该模型的预期不符。标准经济模型假设人们总是寻求最大化收益,但实验显示,当交易看起来太好以至于难以置信时,人们会因为担心“幽灵成本”而拒绝这些交易,故选A。
34. D 在第四段中,“mitigate”用在描述如何减少“幽灵成本”对人们决策的影响。实验通过提供一个合理的解释(如座位非常不舒服)来减少人们对未知成本的担忧,从而使得人们更愿意接受看似不合理的交易。因此,“mitigate”在这里意味着“减轻”或“减少”,故选D。
35. C 文章主要讨论了“幽灵成本”这一概念,即人们为什么会拒绝那些看起来太好以至于难以置信的交易。C直接指出了文章的核心议题,即为什么“太好以至于难以置信”的交易会让人们感到害怕并选择拒绝,故选C。
七选五 36-40 DFCAE
本篇主要给了我们一些从焦虑情绪中解脱出来的建议。
36. D。空前句列举了一些让你感觉混乱的情况,而空后句则是开始给你一些这方面的建议,因此中间需要转折进行过渡,即这些情况是可以避免的,选择D选项。
37.F。空前句让我们观察自己的想法和感受,对应F选项中的thses thoughts and feelings,并且F选项属于observe的下一步,因此为正确选项。
38. C。空前句Take a walk对应C选项中的move your body, 同时C选项也对其给出的建议进行了理由的阐释,说明了建议的作用,因此为正确选项。
39. A。根据文章结构,段首句考虑祈使句,结合后文的breathe,选择A选项。
40. E。最后一段主要给了我们记录自己想法的建议,journal 对应E选项的set down, thoughts对应D选项中的everything that comes to mind,因此选择E。

Devon’s stomach twisted again. He wasn’t sure if the papadum would be so spicy as to switch him off. “Try it! You would love it!” Devon nudged, his eye sparkling with both confidence and anticipation. Almost gingerly and unwilling, Devon unloaded the pancake from the plate and took a small bite. As the flavor exploded in his mouth, he felt the papadum, though spicy, was crispy, sour and sweet, a flavor that reminded him of his sweet and memorable time with Lil. Closing his eyes, Devon kept chewing the pancake under Kapil’s reassuring stare, reveling in the warm feeling papadum enveloped him with. His twisted stomach slowly eased into a comfortable state as he realized that Kapil’s presence, while different from Lil, wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. Soon, the sizzling pancake was devoured into his previously rumbling stomach.
Looking at the empty plate, Devon said to Kapil, “Let’s make messes!” Kapil looked surprised but then smiled warmly, nodding in agreement. Devon felt a sense of relief and even excitement as he remembered how much he enjoyed cooking with Lil. He pulled out a random assortment of ingredients from the pantry and fridge, and together, they began to create a dish that was a blend of their cultures. The kitchen soon became a chaotic playground filled with laughter and the joyful sounds of experimentation. As they worked side by side, Devon realized that while he missed Lil desperately, Kapil was slowly becoming a new kind of family—one that shared not just meals, but also moments of discovery and connection.
