The Best Train Trips in the World
Train travel lovers, get excited! The charm of rail adventures is hard to resist. In our 37th annual Readers’ Choice Awards, we’ve discovered the best train trips around the world. Here are just a few on the list. Palace on Wheels, India
India’s best-known train offers several routes ranging from a few days to week-long journeys. Embarking from New Delhi, the trips take you through the Pink City of Jaipur, where guests are greeted by distinctive UNESCO sites like the Amer Fort as well as 16th-century palaces. You can also visit Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal. Along the way, enjoy regional cuisine in well-appointed, colorful carriages decorated with Indian fabrics.Transcantabrico Gran Lujo, Spain
This luxurious sleeper train makes its way between San Sebastián and Santiago de Compostela for a duration of a week. A unique aspect of this train is that it remains stationary overnight, allowing for late-night short journeys and explorations, which are uncommon on other sleeper train experiences and much more suited to late-night dinners.The Ghan, Australia
Completed in 1929, The Ghan runs through the heart of Australia between Adelaide and Darwin. Its name reminds us of the Afghan camel trainers and riders who first helped find a course through the country’s center. To this day, the three-day extraordinary journey promises access to parts of Australia’s Red Centre that can otherwise be quite challenging to access. Rovos Rail, Africa
This train has been traveling throughout Africa for over thirty years. It provides off-train cultural and historical trips so guests can experience all the remarkable wonders in Southern Africa. The three-and four-night Victoria Falls journeys are classic, but if you have a few more nights to spare, select the eleven-night ‘Southern Cross’ route.
16．Which train can provide the longest trip
A．Rovos Rail, Africa B．The Ghan, Australia
C．Transcantabrico Gran Lujo, Spain D．Palace on Wheels, India
17．What is special about Transcantabrico Gran Lujo
A．It provides dinner for late passengers.
B．It speeds up at night for more distance.
C．It allows passengers to explore at night.
D．It stops overnight to undergo routine checks.
18．What can we learn about the four train trips
A．They run within a single country.
B．They are focused on city sightseeing.
C．They offer unique travel experiences.
D．They operate to honor some pioneers.
We hear them daily, whether it’s ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ from your mom or ‘words fail me’ for something amazing. These colorful gems (宝石) , idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations.
Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective.
One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension.
Another two idioms are also worth mentioning. Imagine you have a deadline for a five-page essay that you haven’t ‘gotten the ball rolling’. You might say you’re ‘in a pickle’, an idiom for a difficult situation with no obvious solution. Now, consider that same issue with the essay. You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling.
Idioms are crucial for communication in music, literature, or just in everyday conversations. Beyond this, these figures of speech are vital to understand what others mean if they use them. Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms.
19．What do we know about idioms from the first two paragraphs
A．Idioms make conversations more demanding.
B．Idioms are challenging to recall from our minds.
C．Idioms are easy to perceive from separate words.
D．Idioms add flavor and efficiency to communication.
20．What does the author’s story imply in Paragraph 3
A．The girl was unreasonable for reporting.
B．Teachers are supposed to know all the idioms.
C．Idioms can cause confusion in a group project.
D．Understanding idioms prevents misunderstandings.
21．If you want to strengthen optimism in a bad situation, which idiom is appropriate
A．‘in a pickle’ B．‘keep your shirt on’
C．‘every cloud has a silver lining’ D．‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’
22．What does the author focus on in the last paragraph
A．Appealing for actions. B．Offering advice.
C．Pushing literal speech. D．Applying idioms to arts.
The catering industry (餐饮业) is witnessing a significant shift towards digital menus, a tendency that is gaining popularity as more restaurants adopt technology to improve the dining experience. Digital menus, which can be accessed through QR codes, tablets, or other digital interfaces, offer a modern and interactive way for customers to explore and order their meals.
Survey data from Square’s Future of Restaurants 2021 report reveals that an overwhelming 88% of restaurants are considering the switch to digital menus. This transition was motivated by the need for contactless services initially, which have become increasingly important in light of recent health and safety concerns. Digital menus offer advantages such as real-time updates, reduced waste, and the potential for data collection to make business decisions.
Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants, wrote in a report that “The human-interaction element of dining is never going to go away, but I think U.S. restaurants will use QR-code menus in a way that will help them turn more tables and save costs on the expenses of menu and labor.” This statement reflects a common view among restaurant owners who see digital menus as a way to improve operational efficiency.
Despite the growing tendency towards digital menus, some restaurants and customers remain committed to traditional menus. As regular diner Sarah puts it, “I love the feeling of a menu in my hands; it sets the tone for the dining experience. I can take my time and really connect with the server. There’s something about the personal touch that screens simply can’t match.”
The decision to adopt digital menus or stick with traditional ones has implications for customer experience, operational efficiency, and environmental impact. Digital menus offer a number of strengths. However, they also require an initial investment in technology and may not be suitable for all types of restaurants or customers. Traditional menus, on the other hand, offer a familiar and personal touch but can be costly and less environmentally friendly. The choice between digital and traditional menus is not just about keeping up with a trend but about finding the right balance that is consistent with the restaurant’s values and the progressing expectations of diners.
23．What drove restaurants to digital menus in the first place
A．The aim to speed up ordering.
B．The desire to improve menu appeal.
C．The influence of customer preference.
D．The need to provide touchless services.
24．What do the underlined words “turn more tables” mean in paragraph 3
A．Add more tables to the existing space.
B．Serve more customers in a given time.
C．Transform tables into digital interfaces.
D．Switch waitstaff between tables frequently.
25．What is expected of a traditional menu according to Sara
A．A rush to decide on orders. B．A strong touch of familiarity.
C．A bridge to linking people. D．A relaxed tone to chat with waiters.
26．What is purpose of the last paragraph
A．To describe the technological setup for digital menus.
B．To explore various factors in the options of two menus.
C．To discuss the importance of following industry trends.
D．To compare the weaknesses and strengths of two menus.
The recent “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, UK, brought children to tears, angered parents and amused people who read about it. After seeing online advertising for an event, people paid 35 each to attend. But it wasn’t as promised: instead of exceptional creations and a plenty of chocolate, families arrived at a mostly abandoned warehouse featuring a sad-looking castle and confused actors. It turned out that the marketing materials - and the actors’ scripts - were generated by AI. This aroused a question: in the era of AI, how can we tell whether we are being tricked
There is an arms race going on in the digital world. But the competition between deception (欺骗) and honesty is as old as life on Earth. Disinformation certainly has been around prior to the existence of humans.
Cancer cells, for instance, trick the immune system so that they can’t be removed if our body can’t tell friend from enemy. Beyond this, cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and cheated them into raising the young of cuckoos at the expense of their own. More complex are cases where a certain kind of monkey may make a sharp cry as though a hunter is nearby to trick their fellow monkeys into running away from food so that they can take the food themselves.
This links to what is known in biology as the Red Queen hypothesis (假说), a concept inspired by Alice in Wonderland, where the Red Queen tells Alice, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” This effect refers to a case where two species continually compete to outsmart each other. In each conflict, a new strategy by one party forces the other to adapt - or face exclusion in the cold game of natural selection.
Disinformation today is a more complex case in point. The only difference is the level of complexity and the number of people involved. The good news is that we know enough about evolutionary thinking to predict which steps bad actors will take next. We just need to use our understanding of evolutionary biology to make traps of our own - disinformation traps. Armed with knowledge, we can defeat disinformation.
27．What was the outcome of the “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” event
A．A source of fun with amusing actors.
B．A failure with everything unsatisfying.
C．A feast with many chocolate creations.
D．A huge success with the assistance of AI.
28．Why does the article mention cancer cells, cuckoos, and monkeys
A．To show examples of natural disinformation.
B．To claim disinformation as a new human issue.
C．To highlight biodiversity and survival methods.
D．To compare deception and intelligence in species.
29．What does the Red Queen hypothesis assume
A．Species adopt a single strategy to evolve.
B．Species have to run quickly to avoid exclusion.
C．Species evolve through competition for shelters.
D．Species evolve constantly to keep pace with others.
30．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Honesty: A Battle Lost in the Modern World
B．Disinformation: An Evolutionary Arms Race
C．Red Queen’s Race: Deception and Adaptation
D．Artificial Intelligence: The Future of Deception
While travelling alone can be an enlightening experience, it can be incredibly overwhelming to leave home and head into the big wide world with just you and your backpack. 31
But what kind of person should we anticipate
A person with opposite characteristics may increase the enjoyment of your trip’s duration. My best friend and I are far too alike. We love the same food, music and both love to travel.
32 We both hate making decisions and are poor with money. This is a recipe for disaster. My travel partner, on the other hand, is the total opposite of me. He loves to plan and budgets are his best friend. This is why we make such a great travel team.
33 You will make memories and share experiences that will last a lifetime. However, travelling the world together won’t be sun-kissed days and picture-perfect moments all the time. There will be flight delays, homesickness…even actual sickness. To resolve them quickly and fairly, you two need to be on the same wavelength. Put more simply, it’s important to find a travel buddy who communicates openly.
Although I’ve enjoyed traveling with my partner for over a decade, I can admit that friendship fatigue (疲劳) is real. You will long for some alone time eventually as it is tiring spending 24/7 with another human, regardless of how much you love and respect him/her. 34 Make sure you find a travel buddy who understands this.
With a travel companion, not only will you save money but it is beneficial to share travel stories and have a familiar face as you travel into the unknown. 35 A travel buddy and personal photographer all in one!
A．Love and respect go a long way.
B．We are terrible travel companions, nevertheless.
C．Also, who else will take those natural photos for you
D．A travel companion might make a world of difference.
E．A significant key to travelling together is communication.
F．That’s why we need to give it a second thought before travelling.
G．Alone time is healthy and very much critical for your mental well-being.

参考答案
1．【答案】C
【详解】考查介词及同位语从句的引导词。句意：乔布斯被他雇用和信任的人从苹果公司解雇，尽管他是公司的合伙人。A. despite即使，尽管；B. regardless不管，不顾；C. in spite of尽管；不管，不顾；D. against反对。regardless 需与of连用，因此B项错误；against的意义不符合句意的需要，因此D项错误；despite 和in spite of都可以使用。分析句子结构可知，第二个空格后的句子的成分和语意都是完整的，这里需要填入that引导同位语从句，解释说明名词fact，因此A项的which错误。故选C。
2．【答案】C
【详解】考查时间状语从句和强调句。句意：直到那年他回到中国，他才意识到自己一生的事业应该是什么。“直到……才……”用固定句型not...until...，此处是对until引导的时间状语从句进行强调，所以第一个空填not until；对状语从句强调用固定句型It is/was+强调部分+that...，故选C。
3．【答案】B
【详解】考查表语从句和定语从句。句意：那所学校发生了巨大的变化。它已经不是20年前的样子了，当时它的装备很差。空1处引导表语从句，从句中缺少表语，指事物，用what引导；空2处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为20 years ago，在从句中作时间状语，应用when引导。故选B。
4．【答案】A
【详解】考查非谓语动词和表语从句。句意：——新闻中提到的那个演员在他的新电影中表现出色。——这就是我不同意的地方。我认为他在电影中的表情是假的。第一句谓语为has，第一空用非谓语动词，且The actor与mention“提到”为被动关系，应用过去分词mentioned，作后置定语。第二空引导表语从句，且从句缺少地点状语，用where引导。故选A。
5．【答案】D
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：当沃尔特离开办公室时提出搭我们的车，但我们的工作还没有完成，我们拒绝了他的提议。句中已有连词when和谓语offered，was leaving和refused，空处作非谓语动词，finish与逻辑主语our work之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式的否定式not finished，与our work构成独立主格结构。故选D。
6．【答案】D
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有一声巨响，伴随着突然的亮光，吓坏了农场里的狗。句中已有was，两空均作非谓语动词，结合语意，follow与逻辑主语noise构成主动关系，应用现在分词following作后置定语；巨响伴随突然的亮光，产生的自然而然的结果是吓坏狗，所以第二空应用现在分词形式frightening作结果状语。故选D。
7．【答案】A
【详解】考查it用法和定语从句。句意：目前还不清楚这种现象是如何产生的——在一个如此多的人努力让自己看起来一样的文化中，任何细微的外貌差异都会让你迅速被单独挑出来。“It is not known + 从句” 是一个常用的结构，真正的主语是后面的“how this phenomenon has come into being”，所it为形式主语，所以第一个空填 It；“ ______ so many people strive to look the same way”是定语从句，修饰先行词culture，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where ，故第二个空填 where。故选A。
8．【答案】B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：她一定很期望他的回归，正如他自己也很想看到她一样。该句省略了完整形式的谓语部分 is looking forward，短语 look forward to doing sth.期待做某事，介词to后面应使用动名词形式，应填seeing。故选B项。
9．【答案】C
【详解】考查动名词的被动语态。句意：就在遭遇一场大地震被夷为平地之后不久，这个城市呈现了新的面貌。此句中的“after”是介词，后面需要动名词，而且城市是被夷为平地，所以用动名词的被动语态。故选C项。
10．【答案】B
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：新的国际机场将于2029年投入使用，每年服务7200万旅客。本句谓语为will serve，空格处需用非谓语动词形式。The new international airport与put into use“投入使用”为被动关系，且机场的投入使用发生在将来，需用不定式的被动形式to be put，作后置定语。故选B。

(为期三晚和四晚的维多利亚瀑布之旅是经典的，但如果你有更多的空余时间，选择为期十一晚的“南十字”路线。)”并对照其他内容可知，Rovos Rail, Africa可提供为期十一晚的火车路线，即可以提供最远的旅程。故选A项。
17．细节理解题。根据第三段中“A unique aspect of this train is that it remains stationary overnight, allowing for late-night short journeys and explorations, which are uncommon on other sleeper train experiences and much more suited to late-night dinners. (这列火车的一个独特之处在于它在夜间保持静止，允许深夜短途旅行和探索，这在其他卧铺火车上是不常见的，更适合深夜晚餐。)”可知，Transcantabrico Gran Lujo允许乘客在夜间探索。故选C项。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了习语在日常交流、文学和音乐中的重要性。
【解析】19．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“These colorful gems (宝石) , idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations. (这些丰富多彩的瑰宝——习语，其意义不能从单个单词中推断出来，它们对于给我们的日常对话“增添趣味”至关重要。)”和第二段中“Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective. (每个人偶尔都会为找不到恰当的表达而苦恼。例如，当一个人需要更好的方式来形容某物很贵时，他可能会犹豫不决，在脑海中空白的文件夹里搜寻着什么，却一无所获。他最终只能说：“这辆新车太贵了。”这没问题，但也许“贵得要命”这个表达会更有效。)”可知，习语为我们的交流增添了趣味和有效性。故选D。
20．推理判断题。由文章第三段“One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension. (我清楚地记得的一个习语是“别冲动”。这是发生在二年级时的一个小组项目里。当我抱怨那个情绪化的女孩不合作时，她生气了。我叫她“别冲动”，但她误解了我的意思并向老师报告了。她不知道这个习语的含义，我觉得这很不合理。这个习语实际上起源于19世纪，当时人们在争论或打架前需要脱掉衬衫。“别冲动”可以用来防止事态进一步紧张。)”可知，作者的故事在第3段中暗示了理解习语可以防止误解。故选D。
21．推理判断题。由文章第四段中“You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling. (你几乎还没开始写，显然无法按时完成。与其担心，不如寻找积极的一面，希望在这个混乱中找到一线希望。习语“黑暗中总有一线光明”就表达了这种感觉。)”可知，如果你想在困境中加强乐观情绪，那么“every cloud has a silver lining (黑暗中总有一线光明)”这个习语是合适的。故选C。
22．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms. (学习习语不仅能让我们更好地了解别人的意思，还能为我们在讨论的主题上增加强调。除了分享我个人的经历外，现在正是我们学习习语的时候了。)”可知，作者在最后一段主要呼吁采取行动去学习习语。故选A。
【答案】23．D 24．B 25．C 26．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了餐饮业数字化菜单的趋势和影响。
【解析】23．细节理解题。根据第二段“Survey data from Square’s Future of Restaurants 2021 report reveals that an overwhelming 88% of restaurants are considering the switch to digital menus. This transition was motivated by the need for contactless services initially, which have become increasingly important in light of recent health and safety concerns.(Square 2021年餐厅未来报告的调查数据显示，88%的餐厅正在考虑改用数字菜单。这一转变最初是出于对非接触式服务的需求，鉴于最近的健康和安全问题，这一需求变得越来越重要)”可知，促使餐馆使用数字菜单的最初原因是餐馆需要提供非接触式服务。故选D。
24．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants, wrote in a report that “The human-interaction element of dining is never going to go away, but I think U.S. restaurants will use QR-code menus in a way that will help them turn more tables and save costs on the expenses of menu and labor.” This statement reflects a common view among restaurant owners who see digital menus as a way to improve operational efficiency. (Square for Restaurants的负责人布鲁斯·贝尔在一份报告中写道：“用餐中的人际互动元素永远不会消失，但我认为美国餐厅将使用二维码菜单，这将有助于他们turn more tables，并且节省菜单和劳动力成本。”这一说法反映了餐厅老板的普遍观点，他们认为数字菜单是提高运营效率的一种方式)”可知，餐馆使用数字菜单可以提高运营效率，由此推知，美国餐厅使用二维码菜单将有助于他们在给定时间内服务更多客户，划线短语表示“在给定时间内服务更多客户”。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段“As regular diner Sarah puts it, “I love the feeling of a menu in my hands; it sets the tone for the dining experience. I can take my time and really connect with the server. There’s something about the personal touch that screens simply can’t match.”(正如普通食客Sarah所说，“我喜欢菜单在我手中的感觉；它为用餐体验定下了基调。我可以慢慢来，真正地与服务员联系。屏幕上的个人触摸是无法比拟的。”)”可知，Sarah喜欢传统菜单带来的熟悉感和餐饮氛围，期待传统菜单可以使人真正与服务员联系，是连接人们的桥梁。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Digital menus offer a number of strengths. However, they also require an initial investment in technology and may not be suitable for all types of restaurants or customers. Traditional menus, on the other hand, offer a familiar and personal touch but can be costly and less environmentally friendly. The choice between digital and traditional menus is not just about keeping up with a trend but about finding the right balance that is consistent with the restaurant’s values and the progressing expectations of diners.(数字菜单提供了许多优势。然而，它们也需要对技术进行初始投资，可能不适合所有类型的餐馆或顾客。另一方面，传统菜单提供了一种熟悉和个性化的感觉，但价格昂贵，环保性较差。在数字菜单和传统菜单之间做出选择不仅是为了跟上趋势，也是为了找到与餐厅价值观和食客不断进步的期望相一致的正确平衡)”可知，最后一段的目的是探索选择数字菜单和传统菜单的不同因素。故选B。
【答案】27．B 28．A 29．D 30．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了虚假信息存在已久，并在不断进化。虽然在人工智能时代虚假信息更加复杂，但我们可以根据我们对进化生物学的理解，从进化思维角度来预测下一步，从而打败虚假信息。
【解析】27．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The recent “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, UK, brought children to tears, angered parents and amused people who read about it. After seeing online advertising for an event, people paid 35 each to attend. But it wasn’t as promised: instead of exceptional creations and a plenty of chocolate, families arrived at a mostly abandoned warehouse featuring a sad-looking castle and confused actors. (最近在英国格拉斯哥举行的“威利巧克力体验”让孩子们流下了眼泪，激怒了父母，也逗乐了读到这件事的人。在看到活动的在线广告后，人们每人支付了35英镑参加。但这并没有像承诺的那样：一家人来到了一个几乎废弃的仓库，里面有一座看起来很悲伤的城堡和困惑的演员，而不是非凡的创作和大量的巧克力。)”可知，“威利巧克力体验”与人们的期望不符，让家长和孩子们不满意。故选B。
28．推理判断题。根据和第三段“Cancer cells, for instance, trick the immune system so that they can’t be removed if our body can’t tell friend from enemy. Beyond this, cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and cheated them into raising the young of cuckoos at the expense of their own. More complex are cases where a certain kind of monkey may make a sharp cry as though a hunter is nearby to trick their fellow monkeys into running away from food so that they can take the food themselves. (例如，癌细胞欺骗免疫系统，如果我们的身体不能分辨敌友，它们就无法被清除。除此之外，杜鹃在其他鸟类的巢穴中产卵，并欺骗它们以牺牲自己的卵为代价来养育杜鹃的幼儿。更复杂的情况是，某种猴子可能会发出尖锐的叫声，就好像附近有猎人一样，从而欺骗它们的同伴逃离食物，这样它们就可以自己拿走食物。)”可推知，本段列举了癌细胞、杜鹃、猴子的欺骗行为，这是为了讲述自然界中的虚假信息。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This links to what is known in biology as the Red Queen hypothesis (假说), a concept inspired by Alice in Wonderland, where the Red Queen tells Alice, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” This effect refers to a case where two species continually compete to outsmart each other. (这与生物学中所谓的红皇后假说有关，这是一个受《爱丽丝梦游仙境》启发的概念，红皇后告诉爱丽丝，“现在，你看，在这里，你需要尽你所能才能保持在同一个地方。”这种效果指的是两个物种不断竞争以智胜对方的情况。)”可推测出，红皇后假说认为物种需要不断进化才能与其他物种保持一致。故选D。
30．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“There is an arms race going on in the digital world. But the competition between deception (欺骗) and honesty is as old as life on Earth. Disinformation certainly has been around prior to the existence of humans. (数字世界正在进行军备竞赛。但欺骗和诚实之间的竞争与地球上的生命一样古老。虚假信息在人类存在之前就已经存在了。)”、文中多次提到的disinformation以及最后一段中的“Disinformation today is a more complex case in point. The only difference is the level of complexity and the number of people involved. The good news is that we know enough about evolutionary thinking to predict which steps bad actors will take next. We just need to use our understanding of evolutionary biology to make traps of our own - disinformation traps. (今天的虚假信息更复杂。唯一的区别是复杂性和涉及的人数。好消息是，我们对进化思维有足够的了解，可以预测坏人接下来会采取哪些步骤。我们只需要利用我们对进化生物学的理解来制造我们自己的陷阱——虚假信息陷阱。)”可知，本文围绕虚假信息展开，主要讲述了虚假信息存在已久，并且在不断进化，由此可推测出，B项“虚假信息：一场不断进化的军备竞赛”最适合作本文标题。故选B。

二、阅读理解（本大题共5小题）
The Best Train Trips in the World
Train travel lovers, get excited! The charm of rail adventures is hard to resist. In our 37th annual Readers’ Choice Awards, we’ve discovered the best train trips around the world. Here are just a few on the list. Palace on Wheels, India
India’s best-known train offers several routes ranging from a few days to week-long journeys. Embarking from New Delhi, the trips take you through the Pink City of Jaipur, where guests are greeted by distinctive UNESCO sites like the Amer Fort as well as 16th-century palaces. You can also visit Agra, home to the iconic Taj Mahal. Along the way, enjoy regional cuisine in well-appointed, colorful carriages decorated with Indian fabrics.Transcantabrico Gran Lujo, Spain
This luxurious sleeper train makes its way between San Sebastián and Santiago de Compostela for a duration of a week. A unique aspect of this train is that it remains stationary overnight, allowing for late-night short journeys and explorations, which are uncommon on other sleeper train experiences and much more suited to late-night dinners.The Ghan, Australia
Completed in 1929, The Ghan runs through the heart of Australia between Adelaide and Darwin. Its name reminds us of the Afghan camel trainers and riders who first helped find a course through the country’s center. To this day, the three-day extraordinary journey promises access to parts of Australia’s Red Centre that can otherwise be quite challenging to access. Rovos Rail, Africa
This train has been traveling throughout Africa for over thirty years. It provides off-train cultural and historical trips so guests can experience all the remarkable wonders in Southern Africa. The three-and four-night Victoria Falls journeys are classic, but if you have a few more nights to spare, select the eleven-night ‘Southern Cross’ route.
16．Which train can provide the longest trip
A．Rovos Rail, Africa B．The Ghan, Australia
C．Transcantabrico Gran Lujo, Spain D．Palace on Wheels, India
17．What is special about Transcantabrico Gran Lujo
A．It provides dinner for late passengers.
B．It speeds up at night for more distance.
C．It allows passengers to explore at night.
D．It stops overnight to undergo routine checks.
18．What can we learn about the four train trips
A．They run within a single country.
B．They are focused on city sightseeing.
C．They offer unique travel experiences.
D．They operate to honor some pioneers.
We hear them daily, whether it’s ‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’ from your mom or ‘words fail me’ for something amazing. These colorful gems (宝石) , idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations.
Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective.
One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension.
Another two idioms are also worth mentioning. Imagine you have a deadline for a five-page essay that you haven’t ‘gotten the ball rolling’. You might say you’re ‘in a pickle’, an idiom for a difficult situation with no obvious solution. Now, consider that same issue with the essay. You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling.
Idioms are crucial for communication in music, literature, or just in everyday conversations. Beyond this, these figures of speech are vital to understand what others mean if they use them. Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms.
19．What do we know about idioms from the first two paragraphs
A．Idioms make conversations more demanding.
B．Idioms are challenging to recall from our minds.
C．Idioms are easy to perceive from separate words.
D．Idioms add flavor and efficiency to communication.
20．What does the author’s story imply in Paragraph 3
A．The girl was unreasonable for reporting.
B．Teachers are supposed to know all the idioms.
C．Idioms can cause confusion in a group project.
D．Understanding idioms prevents misunderstandings.
21．If you want to strengthen optimism in a bad situation, which idiom is appropriate
A．‘in a pickle’ B．‘keep your shirt on’
C．‘every cloud has a silver lining’ D．‘your eyes are bigger than your stomach’
22．What does the author focus on in the last paragraph
A．Appealing for actions. B．Offering advice.
C．Pushing literal speech. D．Applying idioms to arts.
The catering industry (餐饮业) is witnessing a significant shift towards digital menus, a tendency that is gaining popularity as more restaurants adopt technology to improve the dining experience. Digital menus, which can be accessed through QR codes, tablets, or other digital interfaces, offer a modern and interactive way for customers to explore and order their meals.
Survey data from Square’s Future of Restaurants 2021 report reveals that an overwhelming 88% of restaurants are considering the switch to digital menus. This transition was motivated by the need for contactless services initially, which have become increasingly important in light of recent health and safety concerns. Digital menus offer advantages such as real-time updates, reduced waste, and the potential for data collection to make business decisions.
Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants, wrote in a report that “The human-interaction element of dining is never going to go away, but I think U.S. restaurants will use QR-code menus in a way that will help them turn more tables and save costs on the expenses of menu and labor.” This statement reflects a common view among restaurant owners who see digital menus as a way to improve operational efficiency.
Despite the growing tendency towards digital menus, some restaurants and customers remain committed to traditional menus. As regular diner Sarah puts it, “I love the feeling of a menu in my hands; it sets the tone for the dining experience. I can take my time and really connect with the server. There’s something about the personal touch that screens simply can’t match.”
The decision to adopt digital menus or stick with traditional ones has implications for customer experience, operational efficiency, and environmental impact. Digital menus offer a number of strengths. However, they also require an initial investment in technology and may not be suitable for all types of restaurants or customers. Traditional menus, on the other hand, offer a familiar and personal touch but can be costly and less environmentally friendly. The choice between digital and traditional menus is not just about keeping up with a trend but about finding the right balance that is consistent with the restaurant’s values and the progressing expectations of diners.
23．What drove restaurants to digital menus in the first place
A．The aim to speed up ordering.
B．The desire to improve menu appeal.
C．The influence of customer preference.
D．The need to provide touchless services.
24．What do the underlined words “turn more tables” mean in paragraph 3
A．Add more tables to the existing space.
B．Serve more customers in a given time.
C．Transform tables into digital interfaces.
D．Switch waitstaff between tables frequently.
25．What is expected of a traditional menu according to Sara
A．A rush to decide on orders. B．A strong touch of familiarity.
C．A bridge to linking people. D．A relaxed tone to chat with waiters.
26．What is purpose of the last paragraph
A．To describe the technological setup for digital menus.
B．To explore various factors in the options of two menus.
C．To discuss the importance of following industry trends.
D．To compare the weaknesses and strengths of two menus.
The recent “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, UK, brought children to tears, angered parents and amused people who read about it. After seeing online advertising for an event, people paid 35 each to attend. But it wasn’t as promised: instead of exceptional creations and a plenty of chocolate, families arrived at a mostly abandoned warehouse featuring a sad-looking castle and confused actors. It turned out that the marketing materials - and the actors’ scripts - were generated by AI. This aroused a question: in the era of AI, how can we tell whether we are being tricked
There is an arms race going on in the digital world. But the competition between deception (欺骗) and honesty is as old as life on Earth. Disinformation certainly has been around prior to the existence of humans.
Cancer cells, for instance, trick the immune system so that they can’t be removed if our body can’t tell friend from enemy. Beyond this, cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and cheated them into raising the young of cuckoos at the expense of their own. More complex are cases where a certain kind of monkey may make a sharp cry as though a hunter is nearby to trick their fellow monkeys into running away from food so that they can take the food themselves.
This links to what is known in biology as the Red Queen hypothesis (假说), a concept inspired by Alice in Wonderland, where the Red Queen tells Alice, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” This effect refers to a case where two species continually compete to outsmart each other. In each conflict, a new strategy by one party forces the other to adapt - or face exclusion in the cold game of natural selection.
Disinformation today is a more complex case in point. The only difference is the level of complexity and the number of people involved. The good news is that we know enough about evolutionary thinking to predict which steps bad actors will take next. We just need to use our understanding of evolutionary biology to make traps of our own - disinformation traps. Armed with knowledge, we can defeat disinformation.
27．What was the outcome of the “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” event
A．A source of fun with amusing actors.
B．A failure with everything unsatisfying.
C．A feast with many chocolate creations.
D．A huge success with the assistance of AI.
28．Why does the article mention cancer cells, cuckoos, and monkeys
A．To show examples of natural disinformation.
B．To claim disinformation as a new human issue.
C．To highlight biodiversity and survival methods.
D．To compare deception and intelligence in species.
29．What does the Red Queen hypothesis assume
A．Species adopt a single strategy to evolve.
B．Species have to run quickly to avoid exclusion.
C．Species evolve through competition for shelters.
D．Species evolve constantly to keep pace with others.
30．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Honesty: A Battle Lost in the Modern World
B．Disinformation: An Evolutionary Arms Race
C．Red Queen’s Race: Deception and Adaptation
D．Artificial Intelligence: The Future of Deception
While travelling alone can be an enlightening experience, it can be incredibly overwhelming to leave home and head into the big wide world with just you and your backpack. 31
But what kind of person should we anticipate
A person with opposite characteristics may increase the enjoyment of your trip’s duration. My best friend and I are far too alike. We love the same food, music and both love to travel.
32 We both hate making decisions and are poor with money. This is a recipe for disaster. My travel partner, on the other hand, is the total opposite of me. He loves to plan and budgets are his best friend. This is why we make such a great travel team.
33 You will make memories and share experiences that will last a lifetime. However, travelling the world together won’t be sun-kissed days and picture-perfect moments all the time. There will be flight delays, homesickness…even actual sickness. To resolve them quickly and fairly, you two need to be on the same wavelength. Put more simply, it’s important to find a travel buddy who communicates openly.
Although I’ve enjoyed traveling with my partner for over a decade, I can admit that friendship fatigue (疲劳) is real. You will long for some alone time eventually as it is tiring spending 24/7 with another human, regardless of how much you love and respect him/her. 34 Make sure you find a travel buddy who understands this.
With a travel companion, not only will you save money but it is beneficial to share travel stories and have a familiar face as you travel into the unknown. 35 A travel buddy and personal photographer all in one!
A．Love and respect go a long way.
B．We are terrible travel companions, nevertheless.
C．Also, who else will take those natural photos for you
D．A travel companion might make a world of difference.
E．A significant key to travelling together is communication.
F．That’s why we need to give it a second thought before travelling.
G．Alone time is healthy and very much critical for your mental well-being.

Beautiful Motherland in My Picture
参考答案
1．【答案】C
【详解】考查介词及同位语从句的引导词。句意：乔布斯被他雇用和信任的人从苹果公司解雇，尽管他是公司的合伙人。A. despite即使，尽管；B. regardless不管，不顾；C. in spite of尽管；不管，不顾；D. against反对。regardless 需与of连用，因此B项错误；against的意义不符合句意的需要，因此D项错误；despite 和in spite of都可以使用。分析句子结构可知，第二个空格后的句子的成分和语意都是完整的，这里需要填入that引导同位语从句，解释说明名词fact，因此A项的which错误。故选C。
2．【答案】C
【详解】考查时间状语从句和强调句。句意：直到那年他回到中国，他才意识到自己一生的事业应该是什么。“直到……才……”用固定句型not...until...，此处是对until引导的时间状语从句进行强调，所以第一个空填not until；对状语从句强调用固定句型It is/was+强调部分+that...，故选C。
3．【答案】B
【详解】考查表语从句和定语从句。句意：那所学校发生了巨大的变化。它已经不是20年前的样子了，当时它的装备很差。空1处引导表语从句，从句中缺少表语，指事物，用what引导；空2处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为20 years ago，在从句中作时间状语，应用when引导。故选B。
4．【答案】A
【详解】考查非谓语动词和表语从句。句意：——新闻中提到的那个演员在他的新电影中表现出色。——这就是我不同意的地方。我认为他在电影中的表情是假的。第一句谓语为has，第一空用非谓语动词，且The actor与mention“提到”为被动关系，应用过去分词mentioned，作后置定语。第二空引导表语从句，且从句缺少地点状语，用where引导。故选A。
5．【答案】D
【详解】考查独立主格结构。句意：当沃尔特离开办公室时提出搭我们的车，但我们的工作还没有完成，我们拒绝了他的提议。句中已有连词when和谓语offered，was leaving和refused，空处作非谓语动词，finish与逻辑主语our work之间是被动关系，应用过去分词形式的否定式not finished，与our work构成独立主格结构。故选D。
6．【答案】D
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：有一声巨响，伴随着突然的亮光，吓坏了农场里的狗。句中已有was，两空均作非谓语动词，结合语意，follow与逻辑主语noise构成主动关系，应用现在分词following作后置定语；巨响伴随突然的亮光，产生的自然而然的结果是吓坏狗，所以第二空应用现在分词形式frightening作结果状语。故选D。
7．【答案】A
【详解】考查it用法和定语从句。句意：目前还不清楚这种现象是如何产生的——在一个如此多的人努力让自己看起来一样的文化中，任何细微的外貌差异都会让你迅速被单独挑出来。“It is not known + 从句” 是一个常用的结构，真正的主语是后面的“how this phenomenon has come into being”，所it为形式主语，所以第一个空填 It；“ ______ so many people strive to look the same way”是定语从句，修饰先行词culture，关系词在从句中作地点状语，应用关系副词where ，故第二个空填 where。故选A。

(为期三晚和四晚的维多利亚瀑布之旅是经典的，但如果你有更多的空余时间，选择为期十一晚的“南十字”路线。)”并对照其他内容可知，Rovos Rail, Africa可提供为期十一晚的火车路线，即可以提供最远的旅程。故选A项。
17．细节理解题。根据第三段中“A unique aspect of this train is that it remains stationary overnight, allowing for late-night short journeys and explorations, which are uncommon on other sleeper train experiences and much more suited to late-night dinners. (这列火车的一个独特之处在于它在夜间保持静止，允许深夜短途旅行和探索，这在其他卧铺火车上是不常见的，更适合深夜晚餐。)”可知，Transcantabrico Gran Lujo允许乘客在夜间探索。故选C项。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了习语在日常交流、文学和音乐中的重要性。
【解析】19．推理判断题。由文章第一段中“These colorful gems (宝石) , idioms with meanings that can’t be inferred from individual words, are important to help “spice up” our daily conversations. (这些丰富多彩的瑰宝——习语，其意义不能从单个单词中推断出来，它们对于给我们的日常对话“增添趣味”至关重要。)”和第二段中“Everyone occasionally struggles to find the right words to express themselves. For example, when a person needs a better way to say that something is expensive, he might hesitate, searching through the empty files of their brain for something, and come up empty-handed. He ends up saying that, “The new car costs too much.” This is fine, but perhaps ‘costs an arm and a leg’ would have been more effective. (每个人偶尔都会为找不到恰当的表达而苦恼。例如，当一个人需要更好的方式来形容某物很贵时，他可能会犹豫不决，在脑海中空白的文件夹里搜寻着什么，却一无所获。他最终只能说：“这辆新车太贵了。”这没问题，但也许“贵得要命”这个表达会更有效。)”可知，习语为我们的交流增添了趣味和有效性。故选D。
20．推理判断题。由文章第三段“One of the idioms I distinctly remember is ‘keep your shirt on’. It happened in the second grade during a group project. When I complained about the moody girl’s lack of cooperation, she got angry. I told her to ‘keep her shirt on’, which she misunderstood and reported to our teacher. She was unaware of the idiom’s meaning, which I found unreasonable. This idiom actually originates from the 19th century, when men’s shirts needed to be taken off before arguing or fighting. “Keep the shirts on” could be used to prevent any further tension. (我清楚地记得的一个习语是“别冲动”。这是发生在二年级时的一个小组项目里。当我抱怨那个情绪化的女孩不合作时，她生气了。我叫她“别冲动”，但她误解了我的意思并向老师报告了。她不知道这个习语的含义，我觉得这很不合理。这个习语实际上起源于19世纪，当时人们在争论或打架前需要脱掉衬衫。“别冲动”可以用来防止事态进一步紧张。)”可知，作者的故事在第3段中暗示了理解习语可以防止误解。故选D。
21．推理判断题。由文章第四段中“You’ve barely started, and it’s evident you won’t meet the deadline. Rather than worrying, you look for a positive aspect, hoping to find a ‘silver lining’ in this mess. The idiom ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ expresses this feeling. (你几乎还没开始写，显然无法按时完成。与其担心，不如寻找积极的一面，希望在这个混乱中找到一线希望。习语“黑暗中总有一线光明”就表达了这种感觉。)”可知，如果你想在困境中加强乐观情绪，那么“every cloud has a silver lining (黑暗中总有一线光明)”这个习语是合适的。故选C。
22．推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Educating ourselves about idioms will also allow us to add emphasis on subjects we talk about. In addition to my own experiences, it is high time that we learned about idioms. (学习习语不仅能让我们更好地了解别人的意思，还能为我们在讨论的主题上增加强调。除了分享我个人的经历外，现在正是我们学习习语的时候了。)”可知，作者在最后一段主要呼吁采取行动去学习习语。故选A。
【答案】23．D 24．B 25．C 26．B
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了餐饮业数字化菜单的趋势和影响。
【解析】23．细节理解题。根据第二段“Survey data from Square’s Future of Restaurants 2021 report reveals that an overwhelming 88% of restaurants are considering the switch to digital menus. This transition was motivated by the need for contactless services initially, which have become increasingly important in light of recent health and safety concerns.(Square 2021年餐厅未来报告的调查数据显示，88%的餐厅正在考虑改用数字菜单。这一转变最初是出于对非接触式服务的需求，鉴于最近的健康和安全问题，这一需求变得越来越重要)”可知，促使餐馆使用数字菜单的最初原因是餐馆需要提供非接触式服务。故选D。
24．词句猜测题。根据第三段“Bruce Bell, head of Square for Restaurants, wrote in a report that “The human-interaction element of dining is never going to go away, but I think U.S. restaurants will use QR-code menus in a way that will help them turn more tables and save costs on the expenses of menu and labor.” This statement reflects a common view among restaurant owners who see digital menus as a way to improve operational efficiency. (Square for Restaurants的负责人布鲁斯·贝尔在一份报告中写道：“用餐中的人际互动元素永远不会消失，但我认为美国餐厅将使用二维码菜单，这将有助于他们turn more tables，并且节省菜单和劳动力成本。”这一说法反映了餐厅老板的普遍观点，他们认为数字菜单是提高运营效率的一种方式)”可知，餐馆使用数字菜单可以提高运营效率，由此推知，美国餐厅使用二维码菜单将有助于他们在给定时间内服务更多客户，划线短语表示“在给定时间内服务更多客户”。故选B。
25．细节理解题。根据第四段“As regular diner Sarah puts it, “I love the feeling of a menu in my hands; it sets the tone for the dining experience. I can take my time and really connect with the server. There’s something about the personal touch that screens simply can’t match.”(正如普通食客Sarah所说，“我喜欢菜单在我手中的感觉；它为用餐体验定下了基调。我可以慢慢来，真正地与服务员联系。屏幕上的个人触摸是无法比拟的。”)”可知，Sarah喜欢传统菜单带来的熟悉感和餐饮氛围，期待传统菜单可以使人真正与服务员联系，是连接人们的桥梁。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Digital menus offer a number of strengths. However, they also require an initial investment in technology and may not be suitable for all types of restaurants or customers. Traditional menus, on the other hand, offer a familiar and personal touch but can be costly and less environmentally friendly. The choice between digital and traditional menus is not just about keeping up with a trend but about finding the right balance that is consistent with the restaurant’s values and the progressing expectations of diners.(数字菜单提供了许多优势。然而，它们也需要对技术进行初始投资，可能不适合所有类型的餐馆或顾客。另一方面，传统菜单提供了一种熟悉和个性化的感觉，但价格昂贵，环保性较差。在数字菜单和传统菜单之间做出选择不仅是为了跟上趋势，也是为了找到与餐厅价值观和食客不断进步的期望相一致的正确平衡)”可知，最后一段的目的是探索选择数字菜单和传统菜单的不同因素。故选B。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了虚假信息存在已久，并在不断进化。虽然在人工智能时代虚假信息更加复杂，但我们可以根据我们对进化生物学的理解，从进化思维角度来预测下一步，从而打败虚假信息。
【解析】27．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The recent “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, UK, brought children to tears, angered parents and amused people who read about it. After seeing online advertising for an event, people paid 35 each to attend. But it wasn’t as promised: instead of exceptional creations and a plenty of chocolate, families arrived at a mostly abandoned warehouse featuring a sad-looking castle and confused actors. (最近在英国格拉斯哥举行的“威利巧克力体验”让孩子们流下了眼泪，激怒了父母，也逗乐了读到这件事的人。在看到活动的在线广告后，人们每人支付了35英镑参加。但这并没有像承诺的那样：一家人来到了一个几乎废弃的仓库，里面有一座看起来很悲伤的城堡和困惑的演员，而不是非凡的创作和大量的巧克力。)”可知，“威利巧克力体验”与人们的期望不符，让家长和孩子们不满意。故选B。
28．推理判断题。根据和第三段“Cancer cells, for instance, trick the immune system so that they can’t be removed if our body can’t tell friend from enemy. Beyond this, cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of other birds and cheated them into raising the young of cuckoos at the expense of their own. More complex are cases where a certain kind of monkey may make a sharp cry as though a hunter is nearby to trick their fellow monkeys into running away from food so that they can take the food themselves. (例如，癌细胞欺骗免疫系统，如果我们的身体不能分辨敌友，它们就无法被清除。除此之外，杜鹃在其他鸟类的巢穴中产卵，并欺骗它们以牺牲自己的卵为代价来养育杜鹃的幼儿。更复杂的情况是，某种猴子可能会发出尖锐的叫声，就好像附近有猎人一样，从而欺骗它们的同伴逃离食物，这样它们就可以自己拿走食物。)”可推知，本段列举了癌细胞、杜鹃、猴子的欺骗行为，这是为了讲述自然界中的虚假信息。故选A。
29．推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This links to what is known in biology as the Red Queen hypothesis (假说), a concept inspired by Alice in Wonderland, where the Red Queen tells Alice, “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place.” This effect refers to a case where two species continually compete to outsmart each other. (这与生物学中所谓的红皇后假说有关，这是一个受《爱丽丝梦游仙境》启发的概念，红皇后告诉爱丽丝，“现在，你看，在这里，你需要尽你所能才能保持在同一个地方。”这种效果指的是两个物种不断竞争以智胜对方的情况。)”可推测出，红皇后假说认为物种需要不断进化才能与其他物种保持一致。故选D。
30．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“There is an arms race going on in the digital world. But the competition between deception (欺骗) and honesty is as old as life on Earth. Disinformation certainly has been around prior to the existence of humans. (数字世界正在进行军备竞赛。但欺骗和诚实之间的竞争与地球上的生命一样古老。虚假信息在人类存在之前就已经存在了。)”、文中多次提到的disinformation以及最后一段中的“Disinformation today is a more complex case in point. The only difference is the level of complexity and the number of people involved. The good news is that we know enough about evolutionary thinking to predict which steps bad actors will take next. We just need to use our understanding of evolutionary biology to make traps of our own - disinformation traps. (今天的虚假信息更复杂。唯一的区别是复杂性和涉及的人数。好消息是，我们对进化思维有足够的了解，可以预测坏人接下来会采取哪些步骤。我们只需要利用我们对进化生物学的理解来制造我们自己的陷阱——虚假信息陷阱。)”可知，本文围绕虚假信息展开，主要讲述了虚假信息存在已久，并且在不断进化，由此可推测出，B项“虚假信息：一场不断进化的军备竞赛”最适合作本文标题。故选B。
