二.阅读理解(共4小题)
2.(2025 中山市校级一模) Most artwork displayed in a typical art gallery includes beautiful landscapes and people as we're drawn to beautiful things.Artwork that does not fit typical beauty standards is reserved for terrible themes,existing only to remind us of the terrible parts of life that we prefer not to think about.
The University's Memorial Art Gallery (MAG) exhibited"Beyond Beauty",an exhibition showcasing artwork that does not fit the"perfect"beauty standards of other art.Preconceived(先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what"Beyond Beauty"seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition.Each piece describes humans as less﹣than﹣perfect in the traditional sense,with the collection including the "ugly side"of society like interpretations of death and social ills,and has an enormous power,producing strong emotional responses.
Some artists are found not to steer clear of the depressing themes modern society and museums rarely choose.One striking work displayed in the exhibition is "Constellated in Brief and Darkly"by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi,which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital(先天性的) abnormality.
The development of"Beyond Beauty"started with the installation of a clown(小丑) painting.Visitors were forced to consider a colorful,unconventional painting alongside old master artworks.The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes.Others found the painting to be engaging,which improved their museum experience.
Now,Condo's"The Clown"sits at the front of the exhibition,welcoming visitors in.After this visit,they may consider "ugliness"not as something to be rejected,but something that is to be welcomed.As today's society sets impossible beauty standards,it's as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form,and public views of "ugly"do not tell the whole story.Without the inclusion of the "ugly"side,we lose the descriptions that define entire groups of people and time periods.
(1)What is the feature of artworks in the exhibition?
A.They are completed imperfectly.
B.They show negative aspects of humanity.
C.They fit preconceived views of art.
D.They focus on the unnoticeable social ills.
(2)What does the underlined phrase"steer clear of" mean in paragraph 3?
A.Appreciate.
B.Understand.
C.Avoid.
D.Criticize.
(3)What can be known about the clown painting?
A.It is from an old master.
B.It receives mixed reviews.
C.It sets a new standard for art.
D.It is about society's problems.
(4)What does the author say about ugliness?
A.It takes several different forms.
B.Welcoming it is simple for the public.
C.It is more common than beauty.
D.The general opinion on it is one﹣sided.
3.(2025 永州三模) During my undergraduate years in Kerala,India,a severe flood changed my life.One morning,I was urgently awakened by a friend informing me that heavy rain had caused flooding in our area.Outside,the scene was chaotic:families trapped on rooftops,children crying for help,and hospital patients being evacuated(疏散).My friends and I immediately joined the rescue efforts,distributing food to those affected.This experience had a profound impact on me,leading me to a new career path.
I had initially pursued civil engineering,inspired by my dream of designing buildings.However,as my studies progressed,I became more interested in research.The flood clarified my direction.After volunteering in affected communities that summer,I decided to focus on natural disasters.I applied for a master's program in development studies,a multidisciplinary(多学科的) course covering sustainable development,geography,and economics,with hands﹣on community projects.This decision greatly surprised my friends and family,who questioned why I was leaving engineering for social sciences.They worried about my job prospects,but I was determined to follow my passion.
The program exposed me to projects helping communities plan for climate change,strengthening my belief in this path.I then applied for a Ph.D.,despite financial uncertainty and the challenge of switching fields.Many universities preferred candidates with consistent academic backgrounds,and I faced rejections and skepticism during interviews.However,one program accepted me,allowing me to study how better water resource management and policy can help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change uncertainties.
Starting the Ph.D.was exciting but challenging.Now,three years into my program,I am confident in my decision.The challenges are worth it,as I can dive into an issue I care deeply about and potentially help people.My journey has taught me that following your heart,even on an unconventional path,is the right choice.
(1)What does the writer want to show by mentioning the flood experience?
A.The urgency of rescue efforts.
B.The necessity of distributing food.
C.Its significant effect on his career path.
D.Its disastrous consequences for the residents.
(2)How did the writer's friends and family feel about his career decision?
A.They felt happy and proud.
B.They felt angry and confused.
C.They felt doubtful and dismissive.
D.They felt shocked and concerned.
(3)Which of the following best describes the writer's application process for a Ph.D.?
A.Eventful.
B.Unbearable.
C.Delightful.
D.Effortless.
(4)What can we learn from the text?
A.Challenges are unavoidable.
B.We should think before we act.
C.We should pursue our dreams despite conventions.
D.Following others' advice helps make right decisions.
4.(2025 浙江模拟) In the labyrinth of human ideologies,few concepts are as paradoxically enduring as Cynicism.Originating from the ancient Greek word "kynikos" (dog﹣like),this philosophical movement emerged in the 4th century BCE when Antisthenes,a disciple of Socrates,taught that virtue could be achieved through self﹣sufficiency and contempt for conventional desires.The Cynic philosophy,which advocated for simple living and moral integrity,reached its zenith with Diogenes of Sinope,who famously carried a lantern in daylight "to seek an honest man." This iconoclastic figure epitomized the Cynic ethos:rejecting social pretensions and embracing a life of asceticism.
Modern interpretations of Cynicism have undergone significant metamorphosis.Contemporary usage often conflates the term with skepticism toward human motives and institutions,reflecting a pervasive disillusionment.Yet this colloquial understanding diverges markedly from the classical ideal.While ancient Cynics actively challenged hypocrisy through provocative demonstrations—Diogenes urinating on critics to mock social etiquette—modern cynics frequently retreat into passive resignation.This shift from proactive dissent to apathetic withdrawal represents a profound philosophical transformation.
Scholars posit that this evolution mirrors societal changes.In post﹣industrial societies characterized by institutional complexity and mediated communication,direct confrontation becomes increasingly improbable.The Cynic's lantern now illuminates not physical spaces but the intangible realm of digital interactions.Modern manifestations include discerning consumers who distrust corporate altruism and informed citizens skeptical of political rhetoric.This intellectual skepticism,while maintaining the Cynic's critical stance,channels it through analytical frameworks rather than visceral reactions.
The philosophical landscape further complicates this analysis.Existentialism shares with Cynicism a distrust of societal norms but diverges in its emphasis on individual authenticity rather than social critique.Similarly,Nihilism intersects with Cynicism's rejection of inherent meaning but lacks the latter's prescriptive moral framework.These parallels highlight Cynicism's unique position as both a critic of societal hypocrisy and a proponent of personal virtue.
Notably,Cynicism manifests differently across cultures.In Eastern contexts,it occasionally aligns with Taoist concepts of naturalness and spontaneity,while maintaining distinct Western philosophical roots.This cross﹣cultural pollination enriches contemporary discourse on the philosophy,suggesting its universal appeal in questioning established paradigms.
The Cynic's message endures because it serves as a prophetic voice against hypocrisy.In an era of sophisticated marketing and political spin,the Cynic's lantern continues to expose discrepancies between professed values and actual practices.Whether through digital activism or consumer choices,modern Cynicism maintains the core tenet of challenging societal pretensions while adapting its methodology to contemporary contexts.
(1)The primary purpose of the passage is to .
A.Contrast ancient and modern interpretations of Cynicism
B.Advocate for a return to classical Cynic practices
C.Analyze the evolution and contemporary relevance of Cynicism
D.Critique the misapplication of philosophical terms in modern discourse
(2)According to the passage,how does modern Cynicism differ from its classical counterpart?
A.It employs more sophisticated rhetorical strategies.
B.It channels criticism through analysis rather than provocation.
C.It has abandoned the pursuit of personal virtue.
D.It focuses exclusively on digital communication.
(3)The author implies that Cynicism's enduring relevance is due to its role as .
A.A predictor of societal collapse
B.A critic of institutional hypocrisy
C.An advocate for technological advancement
D.A promoter of consumer culture
(4)The phrase "prophetic voice" in the final paragraph most nearly means .
A.A religious declaration
B.A predictive announcement
C.A moral condemnation
D.A visionary perspective
5.(2025 江宁区校级一模) A watched pot never boils,but time has wings when you're having fun.The familiar saying has a basis in solid science —our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world.Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time.New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer.
Martin Wiener,head of the research,says the finding helps reveal how the brain's time﹣bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information.While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear,scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time.
This is especially relevant for the brain's visual system which,subjected to information overload,has to rank in order of importance,allowing for limited resources.Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others.
To understand how this memorability of an image,along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder,might relate to our subjective sense of time,Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments,in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either "short" or "long".The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing.
The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it.Besides,the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer,even if they were all presented for the same amount of time.To find the underlying factor,the team fed the same memorability﹣ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain's visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster.
The explanation for why our brain's faster processing would slow time is that it's increasing the amount of information it can take in at once.Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck,which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information,thus dilating time.
(1)What does the saying "A watched pot never boils" describe?
A.The unnoticed passage of time.
B.The feeling that time hangs heavy.
C.The hardship of preparing cuisine.
D.The perception that time is confusing.
(2)How does the brain's visual system handle information?
A.By setting priorities.
B.By comparing similar scenes.
C.By sorting randomly.
D.By screening out complex images.
(3)Which of the images seems to last longest if shown on the screen for an equal duration based on the study?
A.
B.
C.
D.
(4)What does the underlined word "dilating" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Using up.
B.Cutting down.
C.Stretching out.
D.Clearing away.
三.信息匹配(共1小题)

Body Language in the Virtual World
As social beings,we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life.(1) Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls.
Make a positive and lasting impression.The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you.(2) Similarly,slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously.Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning.
(3) In video calls,you need to be aware that less is more.Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen —people need time to take in what they are hearing.And when you are listening to others,glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated.
Guard against "resting bored face" syndrome.Our facial expressions are visible on screen,so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must﹣have.But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when "resting bored face" syndrome can set in—a facial expression that others register as boredom.(4)
Be present and active —don't multitask.Don't check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. (5) While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once,and not lose track of what's being discussed,the non﹣verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise.
A.Master the art of employing gestures.
B.Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts.
C.Even if you are silent,others can see what you are up to.
D.For instance,crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance.
E.This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls.
F.To avoid this,remember to nod,smile and lean forward occasionally.
G.Therefore it's effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression.

9.(2025 菏泽一模) In a busy local supermarket,Emma,a diligent college student,worked as a cashier to make ends meet.Her days were in a rush of classes,part﹣time shifts,and struggling to realize her dream of becoming an artist.Despite her tight schedule,Emma's firm commitment meant she never missed a day of work.
One particular day,though,would prove to be unlike any other.Emma's workday typically began at 3 pm and ended around 10 pm.That day progressed like any other until Emma found herself with just an hour left before her first break.
Then a weary﹣looking mother arrived at the checkout with her son and a grocery cart.The mother appeared tired,with sleepy eyes and untidy hair.Emma greeted her with a warm smile "Have you had a long day?"The mother responded with a smile,saying,Yes,it's been a tiring one.This little one requested lasagna(千层面) for lunch,and I found we were out of food."
The woman explained that her five﹣year﹣old son,Tristan,was the man of the house,and his younger brother was in hospital,putting an emotional weight on him.Emma couldn't help but empathize,recalling her own experiences as a child with a sick brother.
Emma asked Tristan for his name,and as he cheerfully replied,"Tristan",Emma presented him with a lollipop(棒棒糖).She ran it through the register to ring it up before handing it to the delighted young boy.
What Emma hadn't noticed during her initial scan of the woman's items was the growing excitement on Tristan's face as each beep(滴滴声) from the register resounded.Eager and enthusiastic,he asked,"Can I help?Can I help?"Emma's heartwarming response was,"Of course!"She lifted Tristan to her workstation,teaching him how to ring up groceries.
Unknown to Emma,Tristan's mother took a photo of their interaction,capturing her son's pure joy in a moment frozen in time.Moved to tears,she took more photos of Emma and Tristan at work and expressed her gratitude before leaving.

B.Welcoming it is simple for the public.
C.It is more common than beauty.
D.The general opinion on it is one﹣sided.
【答案】BCBD
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了通常艺术画廊所展出的艺术作品都包含美丽的事物,而MAG推出了一个打破传统美学标准的艺术展览"不止于美" (Beyond Beauty),展示了一系列不符合"完美"美学标准的艺术作品,旨在让人们摆脱固有观念,正确认识"丑"对社会的意义。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第二段中Preconceived (先入为主的) views of art and beauty are what "Beyond Beauty" seeks to change by surrounding visitors with uncomfortable descriptions of the human condition.Each piece describes humans as less﹣than﹣perfect in the traditional sense,with the collection including the "ugly side" of society like interpretations of death and social ills,and has an enormous power,producing strong emotional responses.("不止于美"试图通过用令人不舒服的描述包围游客改变对艺术和美的先入为主的看法,每一件作品都描述了传统意义上的不完美的人类,包括对死亡和社会弊病的解释等社会"丑陋的一面",具有巨大的力量,产生强烈的情感反应。)可知,本次展览作品的特点是它们展示了人性的消极方面。故选B项。
(2)词义猜测题。根据划线短语句下一句One striking work displayed in the exhibition is "Constellated in Brief and Darkly" by printmaker Rosemarie Bernardi,which shows deep insight into the realities of medical practice and stimulates conversation around the complex and painful theme of congenital (先天性的) abnormality.( 展览中展出的一件引人注目的作品是版画家Rosemarie Bernardi的《constated in Brief and Darkly》,它展示了对医疗实践现实的深刻洞察,并引发了围绕先天性异常这一复杂而痛苦的主题的讨论。)可知,有些艺术家并不回避那些压抑的主题。故可猜测划线短语steer clear of为"回避,避开"的意思,结合选项C项Avoid"避免"意思一致。A.Appreciate欣赏;B.Understand理解;C.Avoid避免;D.Criticize批评。故选C项。
(3)细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中The MAG received comments from visitors who suggested keeping the terrible art away from their beloved traditional landscapes.Others found the painting to be engaging,which improved their museum experience.( MAG收到了来自游客的评论,他们建议将这些可怕的艺术品远离他们喜爱的传统风景。其他人则认为这幅画很吸引人,这改善了他们的博物馆体验。)可知,关于这幅画的评价褒贬不一。故选B项。
(4)推理判断题。根据最后一段的As today's society sets impossible beauty standards,it's as important as ever to remember beauty does not exist in just one form,and public views of "ugly" do not tell the whole story.( 由于当今社会设定了不可能的审美标准,所以我们必须记住,美并不只有一种形式,公众对"丑"的看法并不能说明一切。)可知,公众对"丑陋"的看法并不能说明事情的全貌。如果没有包含"丑陋"的一面,我们就会失去定义整个群体和历史时期的描述。由此可知,作者认为公众对丑陋的看法是片面的。故选D。

3.(2025 永州三模) During my undergraduate years in Kerala,India,a severe flood changed my life.One morning,I was urgently awakened by a friend informing me that heavy rain had caused flooding in our area.Outside,the scene was chaotic:families trapped on rooftops,children crying for help,and hospital patients being evacuated(疏散).My friends and I immediately joined the rescue efforts,distributing food to those affected.This experience had a profound impact on me,leading me to a new career path.
I had initially pursued civil engineering,inspired by my dream of designing buildings.However,as my studies progressed,I became more interested in research.The flood clarified my direction.After volunteering in affected communities that summer,I decided to focus on natural disasters.I applied for a master's program in development studies,a multidisciplinary(多学科的) course covering sustainable development,geography,and economics,with hands﹣on community projects.This decision greatly surprised my friends and family,who questioned why I was leaving engineering for social sciences.They worried about my job prospects,but I was determined to follow my passion.
The program exposed me to projects helping communities plan for climate change,strengthening my belief in this path.I then applied for a Ph.D.,despite financial uncertainty and the challenge of switching fields.Many universities preferred candidates with consistent academic backgrounds,and I faced rejections and skepticism during interviews.However,one program accepted me,allowing me to study how better water resource management and policy can help vulnerable populations adapt to climate change uncertainties.
Starting the Ph.D.was exciting but challenging.Now,three years into my program,I am confident in my decision.The challenges are worth it,as I can dive into an issue I care deeply about and potentially help people.My journey has taught me that following your heart,even on an unconventional path,is the right choice.

4.(2025 浙江模拟) In the labyrinth of human ideologies,few concepts are as paradoxically enduring as Cynicism.Originating from the ancient Greek word "kynikos" (dog﹣like),this philosophical movement emerged in the 4th century BCE when Antisthenes,a disciple of Socrates,taught that virtue could be achieved through self﹣sufficiency and contempt for conventional desires.The Cynic philosophy,which advocated for simple living and moral integrity,reached its zenith with Diogenes of Sinope,who famously carried a lantern in daylight "to seek an honest man." This iconoclastic figure epitomized the Cynic ethos:rejecting social pretensions and embracing a life of asceticism.
Modern interpretations of Cynicism have undergone significant metamorphosis.Contemporary usage often conflates the term with skepticism toward human motives and institutions,reflecting a pervasive disillusionment.Yet this colloquial understanding diverges markedly from the classical ideal.While ancient Cynics actively challenged hypocrisy through provocative demonstrations—Diogenes urinating on critics to mock social etiquette—modern cynics frequently retreat into passive resignation.This shift from proactive dissent to apathetic withdrawal represents a profound philosophical transformation.
Scholars posit that this evolution mirrors societal changes.In post﹣industrial societies characterized by institutional complexity and mediated communication,direct confrontation becomes increasingly improbable.The Cynic's lantern now illuminates not physical spaces but the intangible realm of digital interactions.Modern manifestations include discerning consumers who distrust corporate altruism and informed citizens skeptical of political rhetoric.This intellectual skepticism,while maintaining the Cynic's critical stance,channels it through analytical frameworks rather than visceral reactions.
The philosophical landscape further complicates this analysis.Existentialism shares with Cynicism a distrust of societal norms but diverges in its emphasis on individual authenticity rather than social critique.Similarly,Nihilism intersects with Cynicism's rejection of inherent meaning but lacks the latter's prescriptive moral framework.These parallels highlight Cynicism's unique position as both a critic of societal hypocrisy and a proponent of personal virtue.
Notably,Cynicism manifests differently across cultures.In Eastern contexts,it occasionally aligns with Taoist concepts of naturalness and spontaneity,while maintaining distinct Western philosophical roots.This cross﹣cultural pollination enriches contemporary discourse on the philosophy,suggesting its universal appeal in questioning established paradigms.
The Cynic's message endures because it serves as a prophetic voice against hypocrisy.In an era of sophisticated marketing and political spin,the Cynic's lantern continues to expose discrepancies between professed values and actual practices.Whether through digital activism or consumer choices,modern Cynicism maintains the core tenet of challenging societal pretensions while adapting its methodology to contemporary contexts.
(1)The primary purpose of the passage is to C .
A.Contrast ancient and modern interpretations of Cynicism
B.Advocate for a return to classical Cynic practices
C.Analyze the evolution and contemporary relevance of Cynicism
D.Critique the misapplication of philosophical terms in modern discourse
(2)According to the passage,how does modern Cynicism differ from its classical counterpart? B
A.It employs more sophisticated rhetorical strategies.
B.It channels criticism through analysis rather than provocation.
C.It has abandoned the pursuit of personal virtue.
D.It focuses exclusively on digital communication.
(3)The author implies that Cynicism's enduring relevance is due to its role as B .
A.A predictor of societal collapse
B.A critic of institutional hypocrisy
C.An advocate for technological advancement
D.A promoter of consumer culture
(4)The phrase "prophetic voice" in the final paragraph most nearly means C .
A.A religious declaration
B.A predictive announcement
C.A moral condemnation
D.A visionary perspective
【答案】CBBC
【分析】这是一篇关于犬儒主义的文章,介绍了其起源、发展、与其他哲学思想的关系、在不同文化中的表现以及在当代的意义。
【解答】(1)目的意图题。通读全文可知,文章首先介绍了犬儒主义的起源和古典时期的特点,接着讲述了其在现代的转变,分析了这种转变的原因,还探讨了犬儒主义与其他哲学思想的关系以及在不同文化中的表现,最后强调了其在当代的相关性,即作为对虚伪的批判声音而持续存在。所以文章的主要目的是分析犬儒主义的演变和当代意义。故选C。
(2)细节理解题。根据文章第二段While ancient Cynics actively challenged hypocrisy through provocative demonstrations—Diogenes urinating on critics to mock social etiquette—modern cynics frequently retreat into passive resignation.(古代的犬儒主义者通过挑衅性的行为积极地挑战虚伪——比如Diogenes在批评者身上撒尿以嘲讽社会礼仪——而现代的犬儒主义者却常常陷入被动的听天由命之中。)以及第三段This intellectual skepticism,while maintaining the Cynic's critical stance,channels it through analytical frameworks rather than visceral reactions.(这种理性的怀疑主义,在保持犬儒主义批判立场的同时,是通过分析框架而非本能反应来表达这种批判的。)可知,古代犬儒主义者通过挑衅性的行为来挑战虚伪,而现代犬儒主义者则通过分析框架来表达批判,而不是采取挑衅的方式。故选B。
(3)细节理解题。由文章最后一段The Cynic's message endures because it serves as a prophetic voice against hypocrisy.In an era of sophisticated marketing and political spin,the Cynic's lantern continues to expose discrepancies between professed values and actual practices.(犬儒主义的理念经久不衰,因为它充当着反对虚伪的先知之声。在一个充斥着精妙的市场营销手段和政治舆论操控的时代,犬儒主义的明灯持续揭露着人们所宣称的价值观与实际行为之间的差异。)可知,犬儒主义之所以具有持久的相关性,是因为它作为反对虚伪的声音,能够揭露社会中宣称的价值观与实际行为之间的差异,即扮演着批判制度虚伪的角色。故选B。
(4)词义猜测题。根据下文In an era of sophisticated marketing and political spin,the Cynic's lantern continues to expose discrepancies between professed values and actual practices.Whether through digital activism or consumer choices,modern Cynicism maintains the core tenet of challenging societal pretensions while adapting its methodology to contemporary contexts.(在一个有着高超的市场营销策略和政治舆论操控的时代里,犬儒主义的明灯不断地揭示出人们所宣扬的价值观与实际行为之间的矛盾之处。无论是借助数字行动主义的方式,还是通过消费者的抉择,现代犬儒主义在将其方法调整以契合当代情境的同时,始终秉持着挑战社会虚假表象这一核心宗旨。)可知,犬儒主义作为 "反对虚伪的先知之声" 的功能。"先知之声" 指的是犬儒主义揭露虚伪的功能,这与道德谴责相一致。故选C。

5.(2025 江宁区校级一模) A watched pot never boils,but time has wings when you're having fun.The familiar saying has a basis in solid science —our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world.Even delicate visual features can affect how we perceive time.New research shows more memorable images seem to last longer.
Martin Wiener,head of the research,says the finding helps reveal how the brain's time﹣bending strategy allows it to process and remember more information.While what is actually happening in the brain when time seems to expand remains unclear,scientists suspect it may have something to do with helping the brain process more information in limited time.
This is especially relevant for the brain's visual system which,subjected to information overload,has to rank in order of importance,allowing for limited resources.Recent research has shown some images are more naturally memorable than others.
To understand how this memorability of an image,along with a few simpler visual features such as scene size and disorder,might relate to our subjective sense of time,Wiener and his colleagues conducted related experiments,in which subjects were shown images with varying durations and were asked to categorize whether the length of time on the screen was either "short" or "long".The next day they were given a surprise memory test to see which images they recalled seeing.
The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it.Besides,the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer,even if they were all presented for the same amount of time.To find the underlying factor,the team fed the same memorability﹣ranked images to a neural (神经的) network modeled after the brain's visual system and found more memorable images were processed faster.
The explanation for why our brain's faster processing would slow time is that it's increasing the amount of information it can take in at once.Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck,which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information,thus dilating time.
(1)What does the saying "A watched pot never boils" describe? B
A.The unnoticed passage of time.
B.The feeling that time hangs heavy.
C.The hardship of preparing cuisine.
D.The perception that time is confusing.
(2)How does the brain's visual system handle information? A
A.By setting priorities.
B.By comparing similar scenes.
C.By sorting randomly.
D.By screening out complex images.
(3)Which of the images seems to last longest if shown on the screen for an equal duration based on the study? B
A.
B.
C.
D.
(4)What does the underlined word "dilating" in the last paragraph mean? C
A.Using up.
B.Cutting down.
C.Stretching out.
D.Clearing away.

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了新的研究表明,更令人难忘的图像似乎持续的时间更长。文章解释了大脑处理信息的过程以及研究的开展经过。
【解答】(1)细节理解题。根据第一段A watched pot never boils,but time has wings when you're having fun.The familiar saying has a basis in solid science —our sense of time does expand and contract depending on the way we experience the world.(心急水不开,但是当你玩得开心的时候时间过得飞快。这句熟悉的谚语有坚实的科学依据 —— 我们对时间的感知确实会根据我们体验世界的方式而扩张和收缩。)可知,"A watched pot never boils"描述的是当你急切等待某事(比如等水开)时,会感觉时间过得很慢,也就是时间感觉很漫长的那种感受。故选B。
(2)细节理解题。根据第三段This is especially relevant for the brain's visual system which,subjected to information overload,has to rank in order of importance,allowing for limited resources.(这对大脑的视觉系统尤其重要,因为大脑的视觉系统受到信息过载的影响,考虑到有限的资源,必须按照重要性排序。)可知,大脑的视觉系统是通过设定优先级来处理信息的。故选A。
(3)细节理解题。根据倒数第二段The researchers found larger scene sizes seemed to extend time while more disorderly scenes seemed to contract it.Besides,the subjects perceived more memorable images remained on the screen longer,even if they were all presented for the same amount of time.(研究人员发现,更大的场景似乎会延长时间,而更混乱的场景似乎会缩短时间。此外,受试者认为更令人难忘的图像在屏幕上停留的时间更长,即使它们呈现的时间相同。)可知,根据这项研究,如果在屏幕上显示相同的时间,B图片尺寸大且最有序,所以持续时间最长。故选B。
(4)词句猜测题。根据最后一段The explanation for why our brain's faster processing would slow time is that it's increasing the amount of information it can take in at once.Limited resources to process information may act as a sort of bottleneck,which the brain can widen when it needs to absorb more information,thus dilating time.(关于为什么我们大脑更快的处理速度会让时间变慢的解释是,它正在增加一次可以接收的信息量。处理信息的有限资源可能就像一种瓶颈,当大脑需要吸收更多信息时,它可以扩大这个瓶颈,从而______时间。)可知,大脑扩大处理信息的能力,会让我们感觉时间变慢,也就是时间被延长了,所以"dilating"意思应该是"延长,拉伸",A.Using up用光;B.Cutting down削减;C.Stretching out延长;D.Clearing away清理。故选C。
【点评】阅读理解解题步骤:首先对原文材料迅速浏览,掌握全文的主旨大意,因为阅读理解题一般没有标题,所以,速读全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速读的过程中,应尽可能多地捕获信息材料;其次细读题材,各个击破,掌握全文的大意之后,细细阅读每篇材料后的问题,弄清每题要求后,带着问题,再回到原文中去寻找、捕获有关信息,要善于抓住每段的主题句,阅读时,要有较强的针对性,对于捕获到的信息,要做认真分析,仔细推敲,理解透彻,只有这样,针对题目要求,才能做到稳、准。

Body Language in the Virtual World
As social beings,we naturally interpret body language as an expression of mood or intention in real life.(1) E Here are four body language considerations that will result in your bigger digital impact in video calls.
Make a positive and lasting impression.The way you hold yourself affects how others perceive you.(2) D Similarly,slumping on the sofa conveys unwillingness to take the task seriously.Maintaining a proper posture by sitting up straight is the key to making a positive impression from the beginning.
(3) A In video calls,you need to be aware that less is more.Too many hand movements can be distracting in a small screen —people need time to take in what they are hearing.And when you are listening to others,glancing at your palms and drumming your fingers could also indicate to others that you are either bored or frustrated.
Guard against "resting bored face" syndrome.Our facial expressions are visible on screen,so demonstrating an objective response to whatever you see and hear is a must﹣have.But communicating that you are mindful at all times is challenging during a video meeting when "resting bored face" syndrome can set in—a facial expression that others register as boredom.(4) F
Be present and active —don't multitask.Don't check your email or tackle other work tasks when you join a video call. (5) C While you may be confident that you can successfully do two or more things at once,and not lose track of what's being discussed,the non﹣verbal clues you are sending other participants will say otherwise.
A.Master the art of employing gestures.
B.Use fewer hand movements to avoid conflicts.
C.Even if you are silent,others can see what you are up to.
D.For instance,crossed arms can imply defensiveness or annoyance.
E.This also applies to our virtual workplace with common video calls.
F.To avoid this,remember to nod,smile and lean forward occasionally.
G.Therefore it's effective to straighten up to leave a positive impression.
