In 2010, four friends, carrying 32 kg worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼).
But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best. If you put me in the Red Sea in 20 m of warm water — I don’t take better images than others.” In an extreme situation on the other hand — one in which he feels he shouldn’t be allowed, that his time is limited, there is an urgency — a switch clicks.
Thanks to Ballesta’s work, we now know the coelacanth is among the longest-living fish species, with a life of around 100 years, and has one of the slowest life histories of all ocean fish. Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors, and it is only by observing these creatures in their own habitat that we can really begin to understand them.
The coelacanth exploration was a springboard for Ballesta’s exploration career. In2019, Ballesta pioneered a new diving technique, which would allow commercial divers to sink to great depths. He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean.
Ballesta is both an artist and a scientist. His work acts as a window into the unknown — one that we can all look through.
24. What was Laurent Ballesta’s significant achievement in 2010
A. Exploring beneath the Sodwana Bay. B. Taking photos of a living coelacanth.
C. Finding the secret of dinosaur extinction. D. Diving with the heaviest camera equipment.
25. What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best
A. Fierce competitions. B. New diving technique.

C. are sensitive to human activities D. are easy to adapt to new ecosystems
27. What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta
A. Careful and passionate. B. Brave and creative.
C. Modest and hardworking. D. Tough and competitive.
C
The Great Tit is one of the most familiar bird species in Europe and Asia — and one of the most interesting. The species shows a cognitive (认知的) capacity that is amazing for a slight bird weighing only 18 grams. It produces false alarms to scare other birds off seed feeders and knocks on kitchen windows to get feeders refilled. On cold winter days Great Tits drum on beehives, whereupon the bees will come walking out, easy victim for the hungry birds. In combination with the bird’s broad food preferences, its cleverness has resulted in an unusual response to urbanization.
By “unusual,” I mean that Great Tits not only get by but thrive. Urbanization, which involves land development, is an increasing problem for wild animals the world over. Stressors such as pollution, noise, artificial light and the lower-quality food found in cities are considered unhealthy for animals. In a study, I measured levels of CORT, a common stress hormone in birds, in 188 urban and rural Great Tits. Contrary to expectations, the urban birds had consistently lower levels of CORT than forest birds. This finding is even more remarkable when you consider that urban populations are denser than forest ones, which should increase competition for territories and food and hence ramp up stress.
Adaptability has also allowed Great Tits to colonize (占据) a habitat that is in obvious contrast to an urban one. Originating in the temperate deciduous (落叶的) forests, the little bird is now common in boreal coniferous forests (北方针叶林). The species lived and grew in large numbers in northern Sweden in the early 1900s during the construction of railroads. Bird feeding has a long tradition in this country, and the rail builders took a liking to the birds, nailing up their leftover pork fat at the entrances to the huts where they slept. As the railroads extended northward, the Great Tits followed. Nowadays they are common in this habitat, but when the cold winter takes hold, they leave the forests and emerge at bird feeders in nearby towns and farms.
Cognition in the Paridae (山雀科) family is interesting and different species practice one of two entirely different wintering strategies. Unlike their close relatives, which are specialists that store many thousands of food items in separate locations as winter food, the Great Tits, in contrast, do not store food at all. Curious and innovative, they instead obtain food in all possible and seemingly impossible ways, especially from humans.
The more we learn about animal cognition, the better we will be able to answer questions on many questions involving the awareness of animals: Is it justifiable, for example, to keep cognitively advanced animals such as apes and dolphins caged
28. What do we know about the Great Tit
A. It responds to urbanization out of expectation.
B. It frightens away other birds to defend territory.
C. It mainly relies on human-provided food sources.
D. It transforms urban stressors into survival advantages.
29. What does the phrase “ramp up” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Adjust sharply. B. Maintain stably. C. Increase gradually. D. Vary consistently.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Weather condition drives Great Tits urbanized.
B. Great Tits prefer habitats with bird feeding tradition.
C. Human behavior helps to increase the number of Great Tits.
D. Cognition enables Great Tits to survive varied environment.
31. It is implied in this passage that we should __________.
A. leave a little room for animals to use their smarts
B. give animals justifiable rights to compete for habitats
C. build more reserves to keep cognitively advanced animals
D. conduct more researches involving the awareness of animals
D
Imagine you’re driving down the highway and notice that you are running low on fuel. Your GPS shows 10 gas stations ahead on your route. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. Do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand You won’t double back, so you face a now-or-never choice. What strategy maximizes your chances of picking the cheapest station Researchers have studied this “best-choice problem”, which suggests that humans tend to fall short of the optimal (最优的) strategy.
Amazingly, the optimal strategy results in the number-one pick being selected almost 37 percent of the time, and its success rate doesn’t depend on the number of candidates. Even with a billion options and a refusal to settle for second best, you could find your needle in a haystack (干草垛) more than a third of the time. The winning strategy is simple: Reject the first around 37 percent of the choices no matter what. Then pick the first option that is better than all the others you've encountered so far. (If you never find such an option, take the final one.)
Adding to the fun, mathematicians’ favorite little constant, e=2.7182... , rears its head in the solution. Also known as Euler’s number, e holds fame for cropping up all across the mathematical landscape in seemingly unrelated settings — including in the best-choice problem. In fact, those references to 37 percent in the optimal strategy and corresponding probability of success are actually 1/e, or about 0.368.The magic number comes from the tension between wanting to see enough samples to feel information of options and not wanting to wait too long in case the best pass you by. The proof argues that 1/e balances these forces.
The problem generates thousands of hits on the internet as mathematicians continue to study its many variants: What if you’re allowed to pick more than one option, and you win if any of your choices are the best What if an opponent chose the ordering of the options to trick you What if you don’t require the absolute best choice and would feel satisfied with second or third Researchers study such when-to-stop scenarios (设想) in a branch of math called optimal stopping theory.
Research finds that people tend to stop their search too early. So applying the 37 percent rule could improve your decision-making, but be sure to double-check that your situation meets all the conditions: a known number of rankable options is being presented one at a time in any order, you want the best, and you can’t double back.
32. Why does the author mention the constant e in Paragraph 3
A. Justify a comparison. B. Evaluate a statement.
C. Provide a theoretical basis. D. Propose a new solution.
33. Which situation most agrees with the strategy mentioned in the passage
A. Evaluate every candidate. B. Skip some lunch specials.
C. Buy the latest reference book. D. Join the shortest checkout line.
34. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Why People Often Fail in Making the Best Decisions.
B. The Best Decision Depends on Your Math Ability.
C. How to Connect Optimal Strategy with the Magic e.
D. Elegant Math Problem Finds the Best Choices.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether it’s the echo (回声) of beeping tills in a supermarket or the hissing of a coffee machine in your local café, the brain is constantly working to decode (解码) hundreds of noises each day.
But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. ___35___ She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). ___36___ However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.
Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health. But some experts warn that by blocking everyday sounds, the brain may “forget” how to filter (过滤) noise. ___37___ Over-reliance on noise-canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise. Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments. ___38___ Audiologists are calling for more research into the impact of noise-canceling headphones on teen’s auditory processing.
___39___ Mobile apps with “word in noise” training exercises are popular for helping patients distinguish speech from background noise. Additionally, microphones and low-gain hearing aids can assist in specific situations. Choosing headphones that don’t completely block the ears is also suggested.
A. The cause of Sophie’s APD diagnosis is unknown.
B. Treatment for APD can make a significant positive difference.
C. Despite having normal hearing, she often struggles to recognize voices.
D. She would leave bars and restaurants early because of the stressful noise.
E. They note that the high-level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens.
F. One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on.
G. Hearing a diversity of sounds helps the brain decide what is important to focus on.
第三部分书面表达（共两节，32分）
第一节（共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分）
阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test, where children were given the choice between eating one marshmallow immediately or waiting for two later, may have revealed more than just willpower — it might help explain why some people maintain sharper cognitive function as they age. A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems.
Think of your brain as a muscle that gets stronger with practice. Every time you choose a long-term benefit over immediate pleasure, you’re essentially doing a mental workout. This workout engages particularly the brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges. Regularly exercising self-control may help maintain cognitive function.
The science behind this connection is fascinating. When we resist immediate rewards, we stimulate “cool” regulation strategies in the rational (理性的) reasoning center of decision-making. In contrast, giving in to immediate satisfaction typically involves “hot” strategies in the brain areas associated with emotional decision-making. The more we practice using these “cool” strategies, the stronger our brain pathways become. This could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems.
The good news is that these skills can be developed at any age. Simple strategies like setting specific goals, creating detailed action plans, and using monitoring techniques can help. Also, physical activity plays a particularly important role.
Remember, it’s never too late to start building these protective cognitive skills. The key is consistent practice and a conscious (有意识的) effort to make choices that prioritize long-term benefits over immediate rewards.
40. According to the recent research, what could the ability to delay satisfaction help
______________________________________________________
41. Which brain area does delayed satisfaction particularly work out
______________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
As we grow older, we can strengthen our brain pathways that could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems.
______________________________________________________
43. Please share one of your experiences of delayed satisfaction. （In about 40words）

【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了大山雀这种鸟类，包括其认知能力、对城市化的适应、栖息地的变化以及其在冬季的生存策略，并引发了对动物认知能力和对待动物方式的思考。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In combination with the bird’s broad food preferences, its cleverness has resulted in an unusual response to urbanization.(再加上这种鸟对食物的广泛偏好，它的聪明导致了它对城市化做出了不同寻常的反应。)”和第二段“By “unusual,” I mean that Great Tits not only get by but thrive.(所说的“不同寻常”是指大山雀不仅过得去，而且茁壮成长。)”以及“Contrary to expectations, the urban birds had consistently lower levels of CORT than forest birds.(与预期相反，城市鸟类的CORT水平一直低于森林鸟类。)”可知，大山雀对城市化的适应情况出乎意料，它不仅适应了城市化，而且还在城市中茁壮成长。故选A。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“This finding is even more remarkable when you consider that urban populations are denser than forest ones, which should increase competition for territories and food and hence ramp up stress.(当你考虑到城市种群比森林种群更密集时，这一发现就更加引人注目了，这应该会增加对领地和食物的竞争，从而_____压力。)”可知，城市种群更密集，对领地和食物的竞争应该会增加，从而“增加”压力，由此可知，“ramp up”在此处意为“增加”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Adaptability has also allowed Great Tits to colonize (占据) a habitat that is in obvious contrast to an urban one. Originating in the temperate deciduous (落叶的) forests, the little bird is now common in boreal coniferous forests (北方针叶林).(适应能力也让大山雀能够在与城市截然不同的栖息地中定居。这种小鸟起源于温带落叶林，现在在北方针叶林中很常见。)”可知，大山雀不仅适应了城市环境，还能在北方针叶林这样的不同环境中生存，这体现了它的认知能力使其能够适应不同的环境。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The more we learn about animal cognition, the better we will be able to answer questions on many questions involving the awareness of animals: Is it justifiable, for example, to keep cognitively advanced animals such as apes and dolphins caged (我们对动物认知了解得越多，我们就能越好地回答许多涉及动物意识的问题：例如，把认知能力高的动物，如猿和海豚关在笼子里，这是合理的吗？)”可知，我们应该尊重动物的认知能力，给它们留出一些空间，让它们能够自由地发挥自己的聪明才智。故选A。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“最佳选择问题”的最优策略，即37%法则，以及该策略背后的数学原理和应用条件。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Also known as Euler’s number, e holds fame for cropping up all across the mathematical landscape in seemingly unrelated settings — including in the best-choice problem. In fact, those references to 37 percent in the optimal strategy and corresponding probability of success are actually 1/e, or about 0.368. (e也被称为欧拉数，它在数学领域以出现在看似无关的环境中而闻名，包括在最佳选择问题中。事实上，最优策略中提到的37%和相应的成功概率实际上是1/e，即约0.368。)”可知，作者提到常数e是为了给“最佳选择问题”的最优策略提供一个理论基础，说明37%这个比例是如何得出的。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The winning strategy is simple: Reject the first around 37 percent of the choices no matter what. Then pick the first option that is better than all the others you've encountered so far. (获胜的策略很简单：无论如何，先拒绝前37%左右的选择。然后选择第一个比你到目前为止遇到的所有其他选择都更好的选项。)”可知，文章中提到的策略是先观察一部分选项，然后从中选择最好的，这与“跳过一些午餐特价菜，然后从中选择最满意的”这一情境最为相似，即都涉及到先跳过一部分选项再做选择。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了“最佳选择问题”的最优策略，即37%法则，以及该策略背后的数学原理和应用条件。文章的重点在于介绍这个数学问题和它的解决方案，因此选项D“优雅的数学问题找到了最佳选择”最能概括文章的主旨，作为标题最合适。故选D。

In 2010, four friends, carrying 32 kg worth of camera equipment, sunk beneath the waves of Sodwana Bay, off the east coast of South Africa. It was then that photographer, Laurent Ballesta stared directly into the eyes of a creature once thought to have died out with the dinosaurs — making him the first diver to photograph a living coelacanth (腔棘鱼).
But what does it take to be a truly great ocean photographer Danger, says Ballesta. “I realised that every time a dive is easy, my photos are not good,” he says. “I need to feel I’m in an uncomfortable situation to give my best. If you put me in the Red Sea in 20 m of warm water — I don’t take better images than others.” In an extreme situation on the other hand — one in which he feels he shouldn’t be allowed, that his time is limited, there is an urgency — a switch clicks.
Thanks to Ballesta’s work, we now know the coelacanth is among the longest-living fish species, with a life of around 100 years, and has one of the slowest life histories of all ocean fish. Long-lived species are especially sensitive to natural and human stressors, and it is only by observing these creatures in their own habitat that we can really begin to understand them.
The coelacanth exploration was a springboard for Ballesta’s exploration career. In2019, Ballesta pioneered a new diving technique, which would allow commercial divers to sink to great depths. He used an electronically managed rebreather for autonomous deep sea exploration — making him the first person to take what could be described as an untied spacewalk deep under the ocean.
Ballesta is both an artist and a scientist. His work acts as a window into the unknown — one that we can all look through.
24. What was Laurent Ballesta’s significant achievement in 2010
A. Exploring beneath the Sodwana Bay. B. Taking photos of a living coelacanth.
C. Finding the secret of dinosaur extinction. D. Diving with the heaviest camera equipment.
25. What makes Laurent Ballesta give his best
A. Fierce competitions. B. New diving technique.
C. Sea animal knowledge. D. Challenging situations.
26. We learn that long-lived fish species ___________.
A. live a life of over 100 years B. have the slowest life histories
C. are sensitive to human activities D. are easy to adapt to new ecosystems
27. What kind of person is Laurent Ballesta
A. Careful and passionate. B. Brave and creative.
C. Modest and hardworking. D. Tough and competitive.
C
The Great Tit is one of the most familiar bird species in Europe and Asia — and one of the most interesting. The species shows a cognitive (认知的) capacity that is amazing for a slight bird weighing only 18 grams. It produces false alarms to scare other birds off seed feeders and knocks on kitchen windows to get feeders refilled. On cold winter days Great Tits drum on beehives, whereupon the bees will come walking out, easy victim for the hungry birds. In combination with the bird’s broad food preferences, its cleverness has resulted in an unusual response to urbanization.
By “unusual,” I mean that Great Tits not only get by but thrive. Urbanization, which involves land development, is an increasing problem for wild animals the world over. Stressors such as pollution, noise, artificial light and the lower-quality food found in cities are considered unhealthy for animals. In a study, I measured levels of CORT, a common stress hormone in birds, in 188 urban and rural Great Tits. Contrary to expectations, the urban birds had consistently lower levels of CORT than forest birds. This finding is even more remarkable when you consider that urban populations are denser than forest ones, which should increase competition for territories and food and hence ramp up stress.
Adaptability has also allowed Great Tits to colonize (占据) a habitat that is in obvious contrast to an urban one. Originating in the temperate deciduous (落叶的) forests, the little bird is now common in boreal coniferous forests (北方针叶林). The species lived and grew in large numbers in northern Sweden in the early 1900s during the construction of railroads. Bird feeding has a long tradition in this country, and the rail builders took a liking to the birds, nailing up their leftover pork fat at the entrances to the huts where they slept. As the railroads extended northward, the Great Tits followed. Nowadays they are common in this habitat, but when the cold winter takes hold, they leave the forests and emerge at bird feeders in nearby towns and farms.
Cognition in the Paridae (山雀科) family is interesting and different species practice one of two entirely different wintering strategies. Unlike their close relatives, which are specialists that store many thousands of food items in separate locations as winter food, the Great Tits, in contrast, do not store food at all. Curious and innovative, they instead obtain food in all possible and seemingly impossible ways, especially from humans.
The more we learn about animal cognition, the better we will be able to answer questions on many questions involving the awareness of animals: Is it justifiable, for example, to keep cognitively advanced animals such as apes and dolphins caged
28. What do we know about the Great Tit
A. It responds to urbanization out of expectation.
B. It frightens away other birds to defend territory.
C. It mainly relies on human-provided food sources.
D. It transforms urban stressors into survival advantages.
29. What does the phrase “ramp up” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Adjust sharply. B. Maintain stably. C. Increase gradually. D. Vary consistently.
30. What can be inferred from paragraph 3
A. Weather condition drives Great Tits urbanized.
B. Great Tits prefer habitats with bird feeding tradition.
C. Human behavior helps to increase the number of Great Tits.
D. Cognition enables Great Tits to survive varied environment.
31. It is implied in this passage that we should __________.
A. leave a little room for animals to use their smarts
B. give animals justifiable rights to compete for habitats
C. build more reserves to keep cognitively advanced animals
D. conduct more researches involving the awareness of animals
D
Imagine you’re driving down the highway and notice that you are running low on fuel. Your GPS shows 10 gas stations ahead on your route. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. Do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand You won’t double back, so you face a now-or-never choice. What strategy maximizes your chances of picking the cheapest station Researchers have studied this “best-choice problem”, which suggests that humans tend to fall short of the optimal (最优的) strategy.
Amazingly, the optimal strategy results in the number-one pick being selected almost 37 percent of the time, and its success rate doesn’t depend on the number of candidates. Even with a billion options and a refusal to settle for second best, you could find your needle in a haystack (干草垛) more than a third of the time. The winning strategy is simple: Reject the first around 37 percent of the choices no matter what. Then pick the first option that is better than all the others you've encountered so far. (If you never find such an option, take the final one.)
Adding to the fun, mathematicians’ favorite little constant, e=2.7182... , rears its head in the solution. Also known as Euler’s number, e holds fame for cropping up all across the mathematical landscape in seemingly unrelated settings — including in the best-choice problem. In fact, those references to 37 percent in the optimal strategy and corresponding probability of success are actually 1/e, or about 0.368.The magic number comes from the tension between wanting to see enough samples to feel information of options and not wanting to wait too long in case the best pass you by. The proof argues that 1/e balances these forces.
The problem generates thousands of hits on the internet as mathematicians continue to study its many variants: What if you’re allowed to pick more than one option, and you win if any of your choices are the best What if an opponent chose the ordering of the options to trick you What if you don’t require the absolute best choice and would feel satisfied with second or third Researchers study such when-to-stop scenarios (设想) in a branch of math called optimal stopping theory.
Research finds that people tend to stop their search too early. So applying the 37 percent rule could improve your decision-making, but be sure to double-check that your situation meets all the conditions: a known number of rankable options is being presented one at a time in any order, you want the best, and you can’t double back.
32. Why does the author mention the constant e in Paragraph 3
A. Justify a comparison. B. Evaluate a statement.
C. Provide a theoretical basis. D. Propose a new solution.
33. Which situation most agrees with the strategy mentioned in the passage
A. Evaluate every candidate. B. Skip some lunch specials.
C. Buy the latest reference book. D. Join the shortest checkout line.
34. What would be the best title for the passage
A. Why People Often Fail in Making the Best Decisions.
B. The Best Decision Depends on Your Math Ability.
C. How to Connect Optimal Strategy with the Magic e.
D. Elegant Math Problem Finds the Best Choices.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether it’s the echo (回声) of beeping tills in a supermarket or the hissing of a coffee machine in your local café, the brain is constantly working to decode (解码) hundreds of noises each day.
But for individuals like 25-year-old Sophie, these background noises can be stressful. ___35___ She says she can’t figure out where they’re coming from and can’t compute them fast enough. After a hearing test came back normal, Sophie met a private audiologist (听觉矫正专家) for further testing. She was eventually diagnosed (诊断) with auditory processing disorder (APD). ___36___ However, her audiologist believes the overuse of noise-canceling headphones, which Sophie wears for up to five hours a day, could have a part to play.
Noise-canceling headphones do have advantages for long-term ear health.

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
The famous marshmallow (棉花糖) test, where children were given the choice between eating one marshmallow immediately or waiting for two later, may have revealed more than just willpower — it might help explain why some people maintain sharper cognitive function as they age. A recent research suggests that the ability to delay satisfaction could help protect people from developing memory or thinking problems.
Think of your brain as a muscle that gets stronger with practice. Every time you choose a long-term benefit over immediate pleasure, you’re essentially doing a mental workout. This workout engages particularly the brain area that is responsible for planning, reasoning, and controlling urges. Regularly exercising self-control may help maintain cognitive function.
The science behind this connection is fascinating. When we resist immediate rewards, we stimulate “cool” regulation strategies in the rational (理性的) reasoning center of decision-making. In contrast, giving in to immediate satisfaction typically involves “hot” strategies in the brain areas associated with emotional decision-making. The more we practice using these “cool” strategies, the stronger our brain pathways become. This could help delay or prevent memory loss or thinking problems.
The good news is that these skills can be developed at any age. Simple strategies like setting specific goals, creating detailed action plans, and using monitoring techniques can help. Also, physical activity plays a particularly important role.
Remember, it’s never too late to start building these protective cognitive skills. The key is consistent practice and a conscious (有意识的) effort to make choices that prioritize long-term benefits over immediate rewards.

推理判断题。根据第三段“Also known as Euler’s number, e holds fame for cropping up all across the mathematical landscape in seemingly unrelated settings — including in the best-choice problem. In fact, those references to 37 percent in the optimal strategy and corresponding probability of success are actually 1/e, or about 0.368. (e也被称为欧拉数，它在数学领域以出现在看似无关的环境中而闻名，包括在最佳选择问题中。事实上，最优策略中提到的37%和相应的成功概率实际上是1/e，即约0.368。)”可知，作者提到常数e是为了给“最佳选择问题”的最优策略提供一个理论基础，说明37%这个比例是如何得出的。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The winning strategy is simple: Reject the first around 37 percent of the choices no matter what. Then pick the first option that is better than all the others you've encountered so far. (获胜的策略很简单：无论如何，先拒绝前37%左右的选择。然后选择第一个比你到目前为止遇到的所有其他选择都更好的选项。)”可知，文章中提到的策略是先观察一部分选项，然后从中选择最好的，这与“跳过一些午餐特价菜，然后从中选择最满意的”这一情境最为相似，即都涉及到先跳过一部分选项再做选择。故选B。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了“最佳选择问题”的最优策略，即37%法则，以及该策略背后的数学原理和应用条件。文章的重点在于介绍这个数学问题和它的解决方案，因此选项D“优雅的数学问题找到了最佳选择”最能概括文章的主旨，作为标题最合适。故选D。

【37题详解】
下文“Over reliance on noise canceling headphones during this period might delay the ability to process speech and noise.(在这个时期过度依赖降噪耳机可能会延迟处理语音和噪音的能力)”提到了“this period”，说明前面应该提到了一个特定的时期。E选项“They note that the high level listening skills don’t fully develop until late teens.(他们指出，高级听力技能直到青少年晚期才会完全发展)”指出了高级听力技能发展的时期，与下文的“this period”相呼应。故选E项。
【38题详解】
上文“Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children have seen an increase in demand for assessments of children struggling to hear certain words in noisy environments.(大奥蒙德街儿童医院发现，对在嘈杂环境中难以听清某些单词的儿童进行评估的需求有所增加)”说明儿童在嘈杂环境中听力有问题的情况增多。F选项“One survey showed 61% of 18-24 year olds prefer to watch TV with subtitles on.(一项调查显示，61%的18-24岁的人更喜欢看带字幕的电视)”进一步举例说明年轻人在听力方面可能存在的问题，与上文内容相关。故选F项。
