第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）
第一节（共15小题：每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that determines functional intent — the desire to change, move, control, or interact with something in your environment — directly from your brain activity. In other words, BCIs allow you to control an application or a device using only your mind.
When it comes to motor control, if we want to interact with a device in our environment (e. g. a lamp), we first decide what we want to do (turn on the lamp), then we coordinate (协调) and use the muscles in our arms, legs, hands, feet, etc., to perform that action (reach out with your finger and press the lamps on/off switch) and then finally the device responds to that action (the lamp turns on). BCIs bypass that middle step of coordinating and using your muscles to perform the desired action, instead using a computer to identify the intended action and then controlling the application of device directly.
A brain-computer interface (BCI) functions through a series of interconnected steps. Initially, a specialized device captures the brain’s electrical activity, providing raw data that reflects the user’s intentions. This data is then sent to a computer, which processes and analyzes the signals to decode the user’s desired actions. Finally, the interpreted information controls an external application or device, allowing the user to interact smoothly. This integration of measurement, analysis, and control forms the backbone of BCI technology.
Another important step of a BCI is feedback: the system must somehow let the user know what decision or intended action the computer was able to interpret. In our previous example, the lamp successfully turning on indicates to the user that the BCI successfully identified the action the user wanted. Providing feedback helps the user adapt to the BCI system, learning how they can control and adjust their brain activity, just as we can learn to coordinate and control our muscles and bodies.
1. How does a BCI differ from motor control
A. It skips physical performance via muscles.
B. It requires stronger muscle movements.
C It coordinates a variety of body parts.
D. It relies entirely on external sensors.
2. What role does the computer play in a BCI system
A. Measuring brain activity through sensors.
B. Providing physical feedback to the user.
C. Processing brain signals to identify intent
D. Replacing the user’s decision-making process.
3. Which step in the illustration helps users adapt and confirm their intended action
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
B
Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with numerous corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through numerous designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design ”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
4. What did the author initially think of writing
A. A piece of cake. B. A ray of sunshine.
C. A nut hard to crack. D. A diamond in the rough.
5. What was the author’s main challenge in the research project
A. Designing the magnetic component.
B. Cooperating with the research team.
C. Collecting the experimental data.
D. Writing the research paper.
6. What did the author learn from her writing and research
A. Both require trial and error. B. Both consume time and money.
C. Both offer promotion and reputation. D. Both involve burden and stress.
7. What helped the author improve writing
A. Discovering objective standards in writing.
B. Following good examples of other students.
C. Publishing several academic papers successfully.
D. Constantly working on writing and improving.
C
“Your order is on its way!” Is there any notification that brings more joy than this But there could be more behind your motivations for hitting “buy now”. A survey found over a quarter of respondents reported “doom spending” — splashing cash on unnecessary purchases despite economic concerns to cope with stress.
Doom spending can put you at risk of financial stress, cause tension in relationships, evoke feelings of shame, and drain your bank balance of funds that could be spent otherwise. But why is it so hard to resist the urge to spend
The reason we feel happy and satisfied when swiping our credit cards is the dopamine rush it offers. Interestingly, the dopamine doesn’t turn up in the acquisition of something. It occurs in the impulse or the motivation to go forth and hunt. In other words, it’s the try-on of the perfect shoes or the test drive of the new car rather than the actual buying. So when feeling the urge to buy, pause, note the item and wait at least 24 hours before acting, allowing time for dopamine’s effect to flow through the body. You may find that after the effect wears off, you don’t have the urge to buy.
For some people, shopping serves as a coping mechanism — a way to find comfort and build self-esteem or self-confidence. They often turn to that product again and again, hoping it will make them feel a little bit better. However, this inability to properly self-soothe can result in a “treat yourself” mentality after a bad day. If you feel the need for a treat or some self-care, put your credit card away and reach for something more wholesome and long-lasting like meditation, spending time in nature, or connecting with friends. These alternatives not only provide longer-lasting benefits but also help fill your emotional well-being.
But being mindful with money doesn’t have to mean avoiding spending on little things that bring you joy. Little splurges and “treat yourself” moments can be a great way to bring happiness if they are controlled. Having allocated funds for “splurge” purchases, and keeping a list on how much to spend from these can create a more mindful approach to spending, rather than one that’s impulsive and stress-motivated.
8. The core contradiction of “doom spending” is ________.
A. instant joy vs. long-term savings B. economic stress vs. emotional relief
C cheap goods vs. high-quality needs D. personal choice vs. social judgment
9. Paragraph 3 mainly discusses ________.
A. Expensive brands reducing stress B. Advice on unnecessary purchases
C. Temporary joy from shopping D. Dopamine causing shopping addiction
10. Repeatedly buying the same product reflects ________.
A. wise budgeting B. product practicality
C. marketing influence D. failure to self-relieve
11 The author’s view on “small splurges” is that they ________.
A. only suit essentials B. should be banned
C. are acceptable if budgeted D. depend on income
D
If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one. But is it From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth
This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He created the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words, don’t make stuff up.
In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature” Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out
Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth.
When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer.
Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books thinking why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet.
Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were.
12. Occam’s razor indicates that ________.
A. explanations should be consistent with purposes
B. sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena
C. reasonable explanations are rarely surprising
D. simpler explanations should be preferred
13. Why is Newton’s view on simplicity problematic
A It assumes unknown truths. B. It lacks experimental support.
C. It conflicts quantum physics. D. It overlooks biological complexity.
14. What is against tobacco industry’s “simple” cancer claim
A. Random chance occurrence. B. Disease’s natural complexity.
C. Long-term health statistics. D. Smokers’ behavioral differences.
15. It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________.
A. follow the laws of nature. B. balance accuracy and simplicity.
C. interpret the world as it is. D. highlight the existence of entities.
第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation sound familiar A friend approaches and asks, “Hey, what are you up to this weekend ” ____16____ She replies with her own vivid plan. “I’m going to my lake house, and we’re having a massive bonfire.”
What seemed like a genuine expression of interest in you suddenly shifts and becomes a chance for your friend to show off, complain or simply share about herself. ____17____ Like the circling bend of a boomerang (回旋镖), boomeraskers ask a question, let their conversation partners answer and then immediately bring the focus of the conversation back to themselves.
For many people, self-disclosure simply feels great. Still, most of us are sensitive to the fact that we can’t just walk around showing off and complaining and talking about ourselves all the time. ____18____ But among all the seemingly skillful and obvious ways we attempt to mask our self-centeredness, boomerasking might be the worst — because it takes away the amazing benefits that come from asking questions
Asking sincere questions, listening to others’ answers and following up on those answers maybe the easiest and most powerful pathway to shared understanding and interpersonal connection. ____19____ Failing to follow up on your partner’s answer, and answering the question yourself instead, makes others feel like you don’t care about them — and probably didn’t care about them when you asked the question to begin with.
____20____ While sharing about yourself feels good and can bring us closer, when another person shares their perspective, focus on them. We should all aim to be more interested in our partners before we go back to proving how interesting we are ourselves.
A. So, we attempt to solve this problem with some indirect habits.
B. I call this strategy “boomerasking,” and it happens constantly.
C. This behavior can make others feel unimportant.
D. You tell her you’re not sure, but nothing big.
E. Boomerasking ruins the magic, however.
F. It reduces the benefits of real questions.
G. So don’t boomerask!

In 2017, Goldstein lost the use of the right side of her body. Two years ago, Blumberg sold her mother’s place. While ____23____, she found three knit sweaters in various stages of ____24____. She knew exactly who they were ____25____ for: The first blue garment was for her mother; the second, purple for Blumberg; and the third, a rabbit pattern for Blumberg’s daughter.
She ____26____ Loose Ends, which is an organization that matches people who have ____27____ work from loved ones, who have either passed or become ____28____, with crafters in their area who can finish quilting, knitting and other projects, all at no ____29____. They linked her up with a ____30____ finisher, Anna Minmier, to take over Goldstein’s work.
Now Minmier’s ____31____ danced a waltz in the following evenings. Minmier spent months finishing the sweaters, and says she’s happy to have a ____32____ in what she sees as a beautiful story that bonds ____33____.
All I could do when I met Anna was give her a big hug, Blumberg says, tearing up. “It’s unbelievable how special this project is. I would have spent a(n) ____34____ to get this done.”

The viewer unrolls it right to left, experiencing continuous daily activities.
Its perfection ____40____ (heighten) by the radiant blue-green landscape (qinglü shanshui) technique of the Northern Song Dynasty.

This color-centric approach masterfully ____41____ (employ) light, shade, and texture for depth and atmosphere, prioritizing color over line.
The painting demands unique viewer interaction due to its vast scale ____42____ minute detail. It requires three distinct viewings: far to grasp its grandeur, close to examine ____43____ (refine) features, and mid-distance to appreciate its overall impact. This layered engagement deepens the connection, making the landscape feel completely alive.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning, and dad says he wants to listen to the news. My 11-year-old self is wondering why on Earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done, such as handing out presents. And then, while I am only half-listening to the radio broadcast, something unusual happens: the boring newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message. Hadn’t we heard that report earlier
My older brother, Colin, figures out what’s happening. “Pete, Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!”
It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back now.
I think it’s quite rare to experience real excitement over a present, but for me this was one of those rare moments. Colin and I had both been blind from birth. Now, in the late 1950s, exciting consumer goods were coming within reach of the not-so rich. At the special boarding school that Colin and I attended, a recorder of your own was the height of joy. However, Colin—better informed and more realistic about family finances than I was—had no real expectations of getting one. I realised, much later, that a tape recorder would have cost more than four times dad’s weekly wage. The new toy, the size of a small suitcase, dominated the rest of the Christmas holidays.
Mom guided my hand to the RECORD button. “Press this when the red light shines,” she whispered, her wool sleeve brushing my wrist. Before Christmas, we’d spied on boarding school kids showing off their tape recorders. We’d memorized that sharp click-clack sound when tape touched the machine. Suddenly, Colin’s voice spilled out of the speaker. He was reading A Christmas Carol super-seriously — until I burst out laughter. My own giggle came booming back twice as loud from the recorder!
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150词左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Once we had mastered the controls, we began recording.

【46题答案】
【答案】Possible Version One
Dear English Club Members,
I’m Li Hua, thrilled about the “The Voice of Our Generation” project. For the first video, I recommend focusing on “Creative Student Initiatives”, such as eco-friendly campaigns, tech clubs, or peer-led community service. These projects reflect our generation’s innovation, collaboration, and social awareness.
This theme not only highlights our proactive spirit but also inspires others to contribute positively. By showcasing real examples of students solving problems, the video would resonate deeply with peers and demonstrate the impact young voices can have. It’s engaging, authentic, and perfectly aligns with the channel’s mission.
Thank you for considering my idea!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
Possible Version Two
Dear English Club Members,
I am Li Hua, a Senior 2 student from Mingqi Middle School. I am writing to offer my suggestions for the first video of “The Voice of Our Generation”.
I propose that the first video should focus on “campus life”. It can include scenes from our daily classes, club activities, and sports events. The reason is that campus life is the most familiar and vivid part of our generation. It reflects our efforts, dreams, and the bonds we form with classmates and teachers. Through sharing campus life, students from different grades can better understand each other and feel a sense of belonging. Moreover, it can also present our school spirit to the outside world, attracting more students to explore our wonderful campus.
I sincerely hope my idea can be considered. Looking forward to seeing the wonderful first video.
Sincerely,
Li Hua

【47题答案】
【答案】
Once we had mastered the controls, we began recording. We recorded anything and everything: each other, our parents, the milkman, the dog... and we very quickly learned how much fun we could have with it. For the first time, in the same way that a sighted child might react to seeing themselves in a mirror or a photograph, I got the sense of myself as a separate person who existed outside my head and was experienced by other people. It was both exciting and embarrassing.
I also took my first steps down to a broadcaster at school. When I returned to school after the holidays, I was lucky to be in a class of imaginative and creative boys crazy for recorders, and it wasn’t long before we started to make our own radio programmes. Several weeks later, I drew on the confidence gained from those early involvement in sound and walked into the school radio station, working as a broadcast journalist. I would wander round the school with my microphone, recording my thoughts in the style of the voices I heard on the radio. My dad might never have realised that his inspiring Christmas present had changed my life.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that determines functional intent — the desire to change, move, control, or interact with something in your environment — directly from your brain activity. In other words, BCIs allow you to control an application or a device using only your mind.
When it comes to motor control, if we want to interact with a device in our environment (e. g. a lamp), we first decide what we want to do (turn on the lamp), then we coordinate (协调) and use the muscles in our arms, legs, hands, feet, etc., to perform that action (reach out with your finger and press the lamps on/off switch) and then finally the device responds to that action (the lamp turns on). BCIs bypass that middle step of coordinating and using your muscles to perform the desired action, instead using a computer to identify the intended action and then controlling the application of device directly.
A brain-computer interface (BCI) functions through a series of interconnected steps. Initially, a specialized device captures the brain’s electrical activity, providing raw data that reflects the user’s intentions. This data is then sent to a computer, which processes and analyzes the signals to decode the user’s desired actions. Finally, the interpreted information controls an external application or device, allowing the user to interact smoothly. This integration of measurement, analysis, and control forms the backbone of BCI technology.
Another important step of a BCI is feedback: the system must somehow let the user know what decision or intended action the computer was able to interpret. In our previous example, the lamp successfully turning on indicates to the user that the BCI successfully identified the action the user wanted. Providing feedback helps the user adapt to the BCI system, learning how they can control and adjust their brain activity, just as we can learn to coordinate and control our muscles and bodies.
1. How does a BCI differ from motor control
A. It skips physical performance via muscles.
B. It requires stronger muscle movements.
C It coordinates a variety of body parts.
D. It relies entirely on external sensors.
2. What role does the computer play in a BCI system
A. Measuring brain activity through sensors.
B. Providing physical feedback to the user.
C. Processing brain signals to identify intent
D. Replacing the user’s decision-making process.
3. Which step in the illustration helps users adapt and confirm their intended action
A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④
B
Growing up, I disliked writing. It was the last thing I wanted to do and it’s one reason why I pursued science in the first place. In high school, I hated writing essays. For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my scattered thoughts into fluent sentences and I often received papers marked with numerous corrections. I began to wonder if I was simply not cut out for writing. And that was OK. I didn’t have to be good at everything.
I focused instead on my love for math and science. I took comfort there, knowing objective truth could be found if I searched methodically. In college, I studied engineering and joined a research lab to gain hands-on experience. My first project was to improve the efficiency of a magnetic component. Despite initial disappointing results, I continued through numerous designs. Eventually, we developed a design that halved energy losses. I was delighted — until my professor told me to write that research paper.
I knew that if I wanted to become a researcher, I would need to spend time penning papers. But I was scared of failing. In a panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help. We defined a goal for the paper, and I carefully wrote an outline. But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper covered in red marks. He explained that red didn’t mean I was a bad writer. Writing isn’t a one-and-done thing. It requires revising your work, often several times. Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn’t I done the same thing when I was searching for an efficient design ”
I polished my paper’s outline into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback. Though my first draft wasn’t perfect, with help, I enjoyed the process of improving it. Writing has since become one of my favorite parts of research, helping me organize my thoughts. I’ve even started writing popular science articles, which I never could have imagined during my early struggles with essays.
4. What did the author initially think of writing
A. A piece of cake. B. A ray of sunshine.
C. A nut hard to crack. D. A diamond in the rough.
5. What was the author’s main challenge in the research project
A. Designing the magnetic component.
B. Cooperating with the research team.
C. Collecting the experimental data.
D. Writing the research paper.
6. What did the author learn from her writing and research
A. Both require trial and error. B. Both consume time and money.
C. Both offer promotion and reputation. D. Both involve burden and stress.
7. What helped the author improve writing
A. Discovering objective standards in writing.
B. Following good examples of other students.
C. Publishing several academic papers successfully.
D. Constantly working on writing and improving.
C
“Your order is on its way!” Is there any notification that brings more joy than this But there could be more behind your motivations for hitting “buy now”. A survey found over a quarter of respondents reported “doom spending” — splashing cash on unnecessary purchases despite economic concerns to cope with stress.
Doom spending can put you at risk of financial stress, cause tension in relationships, evoke feelings of shame, and drain your bank balance of funds that could be spent otherwise. But why is it so hard to resist the urge to spend
The reason we feel happy and satisfied when swiping our credit cards is the dopamine rush it offers. Interestingly, the dopamine doesn’t turn up in the acquisition of something. It occurs in the impulse or the motivation to go forth and hunt. In other words, it’s the try-on of the perfect shoes or the test drive of the new car rather than the actual buying. So when feeling the urge to buy, pause, note the item and wait at least 24 hours before acting, allowing time for dopamine’s effect to flow through the body. You may find that after the effect wears off, you don’t have the urge to buy.
For some people, shopping serves as a coping mechanism — a way to find comfort and build self-esteem or self-confidence. They often turn to that product again and again, hoping it will make them feel a little bit better. However, this inability to properly self-soothe can result in a “treat yourself” mentality after a bad day. If you feel the need for a treat or some self-care, put your credit card away and reach for something more wholesome and long-lasting like meditation, spending time in nature, or connecting with friends. These alternatives not only provide longer-lasting benefits but also help fill your emotional well-being.
But being mindful with money doesn’t have to mean avoiding spending on little things that bring you joy. Little splurges and “treat yourself” moments can be a great way to bring happiness if they are controlled. Having allocated funds for “splurge” purchases, and keeping a list on how much to spend from these can create a more mindful approach to spending, rather than one that’s impulsive and stress-motivated.
8. The core contradiction of “doom spending” is ________.
A. instant joy vs. long-term savings B. economic stress vs. emotional relief
C cheap goods vs. high-quality needs D. personal choice vs. social judgment
9. Paragraph 3 mainly discusses ________.
A. Expensive brands reducing stress B. Advice on unnecessary purchases
C. Temporary joy from shopping D. Dopamine causing shopping addiction
10. Repeatedly buying the same product reflects ________.
A. wise budgeting B. product practicality
C. marketing influence D. failure to self-relieve
11 The author’s view on “small splurges” is that they ________.
A. only suit essentials B. should be banned
C. are acceptable if budgeted D. depend on income
D
If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one. But is it From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of tornadoes, the natural world is often quite complex. Why should we assume the simplest explanation is closest to the truth
This idea is known as Occam’s (or Ockham’s) razor. It’s also referred to as “rule of economy”. And it bears a family relationship to the “principle of least astonishment,” which holds that if an explanation is too surprising, it’s probably not right. The name comes from William of Ockham, a 14th-century scholastic philosopher. He created the principle that “entities (实体) should not be multiplied beyond necessity.” The philosophical claim is a form of ontological minimalism: we should not invoke entities unless we have evidence that they exist. In other words, don’t make stuff up.
In 1687, Isaac Newton expanded on the notion with his concept of a vera causa — a true cause, stating that we should admit only causes that were both true and sufficient to explain natural phenomena. He added that Nature did nothing in vain and Nature was pleased with simplicity. Although Newton was a great scientist, this claim seems odd. Who is to say what “pleases Nature” Doesn’t this guidance assume we know what we are in fact trying to figure out
Consider the world of Physics filled with explanations that are surprising, unexpected and hard to get your head around. Newton explained light as being made of particles, whereas other scientists explained it as a wave. Quantum mechanics, however, tells us light is both a wave and a particle. Newton’s account was simpler, but modern physics tells us the more complex model is closer to the truth.
When we turn to biology, things get even more complicated. Imagine two smokers, both of whom went through a pack a day for 30 years. One gets cancer; the other doesn’t. The simplest explanation For decades the tobacco industry’s answer was that smoking doesn’t cause cancer. Simple but false. In fact, disease is complex, and we don’t yet understand all the factors involved in cancer.
Occam’s razor is not a fact or even a theory. It’s a metaphysical (形而上学的) principle: an idea held independently of empirical (实证的) evidence. In human affairs, things are more often than not complex. Human motivations are typically multiple. People can be good and bad at the same time, selfish and selfless, depending on circumstances. The shelves of ethicists are filled with books thinking why good people do bad things, and their answers are rarely short and sweet.
Our explanations should match the world as best as we can make them. Science is about allowing things to unfold naturally, and sometimes this means accepting that the truth is not simple, even if it would make our lives easier if it were.
12. Occam’s razor indicates that ________.
A. explanations should be consistent with purposes
B. sufficient causes can explain natural phenomena
C. reasonable explanations are rarely surprising
D. simpler explanations should be preferred
13. Why is Newton’s view on simplicity problematic
A It assumes unknown truths. B. It lacks experimental support.
C. It conflicts quantum physics. D. It overlooks biological complexity.
14. What is against tobacco industry’s “simple” cancer claim
A. Random chance occurrence. B. Disease’s natural complexity.
C. Long-term health statistics. D. Smokers’ behavioral differences.
15. It’s implied in the passage that we need to ________.
A. follow the laws of nature. B. balance accuracy and simplicity.
C. interpret the world as it is. D. highlight the existence of entities.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Does this situation sound familiar A friend approaches and asks, “Hey, what are you up to this weekend ” ____16____ She replies with her own vivid plan. “I’m going to my lake house, and we’re having a massive bonfire.”
What seemed like a genuine expression of interest in you suddenly shifts and becomes a chance for your friend to show off, complain or simply share about herself. ____17____ Like the circling bend of a boomerang (回旋镖), boomeraskers ask a question, let their conversation partners answer and then immediately bring the focus of the conversation back to themselves.
For many people, self-disclosure simply feels great. Still, most of us are sensitive to the fact that we can’t just walk around showing off and complaining and talking about ourselves all the time. ____18____ But among all the seemingly skillful and obvious ways we attempt to mask our self-centeredness, boomerasking might be the worst — because it takes away the amazing benefits that come from asking questions
Asking sincere questions, listening to others’ answers and following up on those answers maybe the easiest and most powerful pathway to shared understanding and interpersonal connection. ____19____ Failing to follow up on your partner’s answer, and answering the question yourself instead, makes others feel like you don’t care about them — and probably didn’t care about them when you asked the question to begin with.
____20____ While sharing about yourself feels good and can bring us closer, when another person shares their perspective, focus on them. We should all aim to be more interested in our partners before we go back to proving how interesting we are ourselves.
A. So, we attempt to solve this problem with some indirect habits.
B. I call this strategy “boomerasking,” and it happens constantly.
C. This behavior can make others feel unimportant.
D. You tell her you’re not sure, but nothing big.
E. Boomerasking ruins the magic, however.
F. It reduces the benefits of real questions.
G. So don’t boomerask!

In 2017, Goldstein lost the use of the right side of her body. Two years ago, Blumberg sold her mother’s place. While ____23____, she found three knit sweaters in various stages of ____24____. She knew exactly who they were ____25____ for: The first blue garment was for her mother; the second, purple for Blumberg; and the third, a rabbit pattern for Blumberg’s daughter.
She ____26____ Loose Ends, which is an organization that matches people who have ____27____ work from loved ones, who have either passed or become ____28____, with crafters in their area who can finish quilting, knitting and other projects, all at no ____29____. They linked her up with a ____30____ finisher, Anna Minmier, to take over Goldstein’s work.
Now Minmier’s ____31____ danced a waltz in the following evenings. Minmier spent months finishing the sweaters, and says she’s happy to have a ____32____ in what she sees as a beautiful story that bonds ____33____.
All I could do when I met Anna was give her a big hug, Blumberg says, tearing up. “It’s unbelievable how special this project is. I would have spent a(n) ____34____ to get this done.”

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It’s eight o’clock on Christmas morning, and dad says he wants to listen to the news. My 11-year-old self is wondering why on Earth grown-ups would be interested in the news when there are important things to be done, such as handing out presents. And then, while I am only half-listening to the radio broadcast, something unusual happens: the boring newsreader begins talking about a Christmas message. Hadn’t we heard that report earlier
My older brother, Colin, figures out what’s happening. “Pete, Pete, it’s a tape recorder! We’ve got our tape recorder!”
It finally dawns on me: my dad recorded the news and is playing it back now.
I think it’s quite rare to experience real excitement over a present, but for me this was one of those rare moments. Colin and I had both been blind from birth. Now, in the late 1950s, exciting consumer goods were coming within reach of the not-so rich. At the special boarding school that Colin and I attended, a recorder of your own was the height of joy. However, Colin—better informed and more realistic about family finances than I was—had no real expectations of getting one. I realised, much later, that a tape recorder would have cost more than four times dad’s weekly wage. The new toy, the size of a small suitcase, dominated the rest of the Christmas holidays.
Mom guided my hand to the RECORD button. “Press this when the red light shines,” she whispered, her wool sleeve brushing my wrist. Before Christmas, we’d spied on boarding school kids showing off their tape recorders. We’d memorized that sharp click-clack sound when tape touched the machine. Suddenly, Colin’s voice spilled out of the speaker. He was reading A Christmas Carol super-seriously — until I burst out laughter. My own giggle came booming back twice as loud from the recorder!

Once we had mastered the controls, we began recording.

【46题答案】
【答案】Possible Version One
Dear English Club Members,
I’m Li Hua, thrilled about the “The Voice of Our Generation” project. For the first video, I recommend focusing on “Creative Student Initiatives”, such as eco-friendly campaigns, tech clubs, or peer-led community service. These projects reflect our generation’s innovation, collaboration, and social awareness.
This theme not only highlights our proactive spirit but also inspires others to contribute positively. By showcasing real examples of students solving problems, the video would resonate deeply with peers and demonstrate the impact young voices can have. It’s engaging, authentic, and perfectly aligns with the channel’s mission.
Thank you for considering my idea!
Sincerely,
Li Hua
Possible Version Two
Dear English Club Members,
I am Li Hua, a Senior 2 student from Mingqi Middle School. I am writing to offer my suggestions for the first video of “The Voice of Our Generation”.
I propose that the first video should focus on “campus life”. It can include scenes from our daily classes, club activities, and sports events. The reason is that campus life is the most familiar and vivid part of our generation. It reflects our efforts, dreams, and the bonds we form with classmates and teachers. Through sharing campus life, students from different grades can better understand each other and feel a sense of belonging. Moreover, it can also present our school spirit to the outside world, attracting more students to explore our wonderful campus.
I sincerely hope my idea can be considered. Looking forward to seeing the wonderful first video.
Sincerely,
Li Hua

【47题答案】
【答案】
Once we had mastered the controls, we began recording. We recorded anything and everything: each other, our parents, the milkman, the dog... and we very quickly learned how much fun we could have with it. For the first time, in the same way that a sighted child might react to seeing themselves in a mirror or a photograph, I got the sense of myself as a separate person who existed outside my head and was experienced by other people. It was both exciting and embarrassing.
I also took my first steps down to a broadcaster at school. When I returned to school after the holidays, I was lucky to be in a class of imaginative and creative boys crazy for recorders, and it wasn’t long before we started to make our own radio programmes. Several weeks later, I drew on the confidence gained from those early involvement in sound and walked into the school radio station, working as a broadcast journalist. I would wander round the school with my microphone, recording my thoughts in the style of the voices I heard on the radio. My dad might never have realised that his inspiring Christmas present had changed my life.
