The covering veil of a Chinese bride is a piece of square-shaped red color silk which is usually decorated with designed peony or phoenix patterns. The meaning behind this tradition is that people believe a red covering veil can drive away the misfortune and also covers the nervous flushing face of the bride.
During the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, the bride is handed by her groom. Her head should be covered by a red veil which is falling down to her shoulder for the whole ceremony. The covering veil is not taken off until all the relatives and friends have left. It is the g room who can take off her covering veil. Traditionally, the groom should take off her veil using a small steelyard (杆秤). Imagine the special and sweet moment when the groom takes the veil off and sees a blushing and excited face with the faint candle-light while they sit on the edge of the new bed. The bride’s covering veil is connected with the special occasion where the lovers are eager for their life.
In ancient China, the covering veil or gaitou was just a method to keep warm. It later turned into an accessory (配饰) for maids serving the emperor’s palace. Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, the bride covers her entire head with a piece of red cloth or gaitou to prevent herself from being seen by others on the wedding day, including the groom. This veil is only to be lifted up by the g room on the wedding night. For most of them in old China, it would be the first time they saw each other. The reason why the arm of the steelyard is used to lift the veil is that the Chinese character for this device also has the meaning of “satisfied” and thus, by using this device, the groom expresses that he would be completely satisfied with the look of the bride.
24. What is the meaning of the red covering veil in the wedding ceremony according to the custom
A. Getting rid of bad luck.
B. Attracting people’s curiosity about the bride.
C. Representing the bride’s loyalty to her family.
D. Adding a romantic atmosphere to the wedding.
25. What can we know about the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony according to the passage
A. The steelyard is used to measure the weight of the veil.
B. The bride’s red veil is removed by the groom using a steelyard.
C. In ancient China, the groom could see the bride’s face before the wedding.
D. Relatives and friends are present when the groom removes the bride’s veil.
26. Why would a steelyard be used to lift up the covering veil
A. It was deeply rooted in the palace. B. It reflected the groom’s expectation.
C. It stood for good luck and sweet life. D. It could be easily found in old times.
27. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Wedding Ceremonies in China’s History.
B. Things Used for a Traditional Chinese Wedding.
C. Wearing a Covering Veil on a Chinese Wedding.
D. Customs of Traditional Chinese Wedding Ceremonies.
C
As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may expect colorful fireworks to light up the sky with bright flashes and loud booms. However, the attraction of fireworks could fade away with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows.
Ollie Howitt, a leader of one of the world’s leading drone light show companies, which used a team of 300 drones to put on a display for London’s new year celebration last year, said that demand for drone shows had increased greatly. “We do believe these shows will gain wider popularity, instead of just being a short-lived kind of fashion. Drones are reusable and leave no harmful waste after use. In that sense, they become a good and eco-friendly choice,” she explained.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association warned that drones could also cause environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries (锂电池) which are known not to be all that green,” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson also mentioned that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were problems. Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and may bother animals and members of the public. Therefore, it’s important to carefully consider their possible effects and take proper measures to reduce the chance of accidents.
Some express the opinion that fireworks and drones don’t exclude each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive and big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
28. What does Howitt think a drone display in paragraph 2
A. It’s definitely an upward trend. B. It’ll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C. It’s nothing but a short-term phenomenon. D. It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.
29. Which of the following is not the problem of using drones for light shows compared with fireworks
A. Using high electricity. B. Causing trouble to the public.
C. Worsening environmental problems. D. Bothering animals like horses and birds.
30. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Promoting the production of drones. B. Diversifying the functions of drones.
C. Limiting the displays of fireworks. D. Staging drone shows as another choice.
31. In which part of a website can we read this text
A. Health. B. Business. C. Environment. D. Advertisement.
D
As psychologists (心理学家) have long recognised, we humans cope with negative things by employing psychological defences. These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. Another example is the ’better-than-average’ effect, in which case we think we’re better than most others at various skills from driving to maths.
Getting defensive when we’re criticised, or when we make a mistake, is yet another of these self-protective mechanisms (机制). As the politicians so often say: “mistakes were made, but not by me”.
So, when you give someone negative feedback (反馈) or you criticise them or their beliefs, you are — perhaps unconsciously — threatening their psychological defences. By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. A way for people to avoid these uncomfortable feelings and thoughts is to get defensive, to deny they did anything wrong, or to engage in the mental gymnastics needed to save face.
Support for the social and moral aspects of defensiveness comes from a study by psychologists at Australia’s University of Flinders in 2020. The researchers showed that volunteers’ defensiveness (about past mistakes or possible moral guilt) was strengthened if they’d just had an experience of being socially rejected — thus making them more mentally weak. Contrarily, the volunteers acted less defensively if they’d had an earlier opportunity to demonstrate their moral values, which would have made them feel more secure about their moral standing.
One practical point from all this is that when you’re giving negative feedback, it pays to consider the effect it may have on the other person’s self-confidence. Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally.
32. Which of the following is an example of “using psychological defences”
A. A teacher praises students’ progress to encourage them to keep learning.
B. When seeing a classmate win a competition, someone says he is just fortunate.
C. People usually feel confident and proud when they show their driving skills.
D. A student credits their excellent grade to hard work after studying for weeks.
33. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Control. B. Hide. C. Cause. D. Reduce.
34. What does the passage suggest doing when giving criticism
A. Ignoring the ways to fix the mistakes made.
B. Concentrating on the person’s character flaws directly.
C. Pointing out only the mistakes without any suggestions.
D. Focusing on how to correct the mistakes.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Psychological Defences and How to Deal with Them.
B. The “Better-than-average” Effect in Daily Life.
C. Negative Feedback and Its Harm to People.
D. The Importance of Self-confidence in Society.

Also, does anyone want to use the bathroom There’s one here in the reception hall, opposite the ticket office. OK, let’s begin our tour. The bath you can see from here is called the Great Bath, not very imaginative, but it is the biggest. The bath itself is 1.6 meters deep, ideal for bathing, and has steps leading down to the water on all sides. Let’s move on to the spring. This is in the heart of the site where the hot water comes from the ground at a temperature of 46℃. The water is rich in minerals and it’s said that it would cure various illnesses. Next, we will pass through the site of the temple. Here, we are. This temple is one of the only two known classical Roman temples in Britain. The other is the temple of Claudius at Colchester. This temple is said to have been built for centuries, and over time, due to serious damage caused by human activities, what you can see here are just bits of the original temple. Okay, let’s move on.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍中国新娘红色盖头的特征、婚礼中的使用习俗及历史演变。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The meaning behind this tradition is that people believe a red covering veil can drive away the misfortune and also covers the nervous flushing face of the bride.(这一传统背后的含义是，人们相信红色盖头可以驱走厄运，也能遮住新娘紧张泛红的脸。)”可知，传统中红色盖头的意义包括驱邪。故选A项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Traditionally, the groom should take off her veil using a small steelyard (杆秤).(传统上，新郎应该用小杆秤掀起她的盖头。)”可知，新郎需用杆秤揭开新娘盖头。故选B项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The reason why the arm of the steelyard is used to lift the veil is that the Chinese character for this device also has the meaning of “satisfied” and thus, by using this device, the groom expresses that he would be completely satisfied with the look of the bride. (用杆秤杆掀起盖头的原因是，这个器具的汉字也有“满意”的意思，因此，新郎用这个器具表达对新娘容貌的完全满意。)”可知，使用杆秤是为了体现新郎对新娘的期待与满意。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段“The covering veil of a Chinese bride is a piece of square-shaped red color silk which is usually decorated with designed peony or phoenix patterns. The meaning behind this tradition is that people believe a red covering veil can drive away the misfortune and also covers the nervous flushing face of the bride.(中国新娘的盖头是一块方形红绸，通常绣有牡丹或凤凰等图案。这一传统背后的寓意是，人们认为红色盖头既能驱邪避灾，又能遮掩新娘紧张泛红的脸庞。)”可知，文章围绕中国婚礼中新娘盖头的材质、象征意义、使用流程及历史起源展开，核心话题为“盖头”，选项C“中国婚礼上的盖头”最能概括全文内容，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。

【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要讲述无人机灯光秀作为烟花替代品的兴起、其环保优势和潜在问题（如电力需求、环境影响和动物干扰），以及它与烟花共存的可能性。文章通过呈现支持者（如Howitt）和反对者（如英国烟花协会和RSPCA）的观点，探讨了这一趋势的利弊。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We do believe these shows will gain wider popularity, instead of just being a short-lived kind of fashion.”（我们相信这些节目会受到更广泛的欢迎，而不仅仅是短暂的时尚）可知，Howitt认为无人机表演是一种上升的趋势。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Suggestions are that drones have less impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries (锂电池) which are known not to be all that green”（建议是无人机对环境的影响较小，但我们对电力需求和锂电池的使用表示严重关切，众所周知，锂电池并不那么环保）及第四段“Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and may bother animals and members of the public. ”（无人机也不是没有负面问题，比如吓马或者撞鸟，可能会打扰动物和公众。）可知，无人机用电量高，会造成环境问题，也会打扰到动物和公众，这就它的问题。A、B、D都描述的是无人机的问题，C项“恶化环境问题”未提及。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on ”（我们发现烟花与无人机配合使用效果很好。但我们根本不认为它是一种替代品。我们觉得这只是你如何活跃天空以及你想用你正在上演的节目做什么的另一个工具）可推断出，Howitt主张无人机表演作为烟花的补充选择，而非完全替代，Howitt建议将无人机表演作为另一种选择。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文可知，本文讲述无人机灯光秀作为烟花替代品的兴起、其环保优势和潜在问题（如电力需求、环境影响和动物干扰），由此可知这篇文章会出现在网站上有关环境的部分。故选C项。
D
32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了心理防御机制及其在批评反馈中的应对方式。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. (这些往往表现为自利偏见，也就是说，我们倾向于把别人的成功归功于好运，而把自己的好结果看作是天生才华的标志)”可知，当看到同学赢得比赛时，有人说他只是运气好，是使用心理防御的例子。故选B。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. (通过强迫他们认识到自己的错误，你很可能会trigger极其不舒服的社会情绪，比如羞耻、内疚或尴尬，或者对被拒绝或失去地位的可怕想法)”可知，通过强迫他们认识到自己的错误，你很可能会引起极其不舒服的社会情绪，所以trigger的意思是“引起，导致”。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally. (因此，把你的批评集中在他们做错了什么上，而不是他们的性格或品格上。你也可以通过关注他们的错误如何被纠正，或者他们下次如何改进，来减轻一些刺痛，这样他们就不太可能把事情看得那么个人化)”可知，文章建议在批评别人时，要专注于如何纠正错误。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“As psychologists (心理学家) have long recognised, we humans cope with negative things by employing psychological defences.(正如心理学家早就认识到的那样，我们人类通过心理防御来应对消极的事情)”和最后一段中“Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally. (因此，把你的批评集中在他们做错了什么上，而不是他们的性格或品格上。你也可以通过关注他们的错误如何被纠正，或者他们下次如何改进，来减轻一些刺痛，这样他们就不太可能把事情看得那么个人化)”可知，本文主要讲述了心理防御机制及其在批评反馈中的应对方式。A选项“Psychological Defences and How to Deal with Them. (心理防御机制及其应对方式)”符合题意。故选A。

(你可以存储任何数字内容：所有文件、视频和图片。)”可知，此处应是在讨论云存储的空间选择及其灵活性。G选项“You can start with a small amount and increase the storage size later on. (你可以从少量开始，以后增加存储空间。)”，既承接了上文的“choose the amount of space you need”，又为下文的存储各种数字内容提供了空间上的灵活性。故选G项。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Is it better than your computer or an external drive The answer is a definite puters crash all the time. (它比你的电脑或外部驱动器更好吗？答案是肯定的。电脑总是会崩溃。)”可知，此处是在比较云存储与传统存储方式（如电脑和外部驱动器）的优劣，并指出电脑容易崩溃的问题。D选项“This is the most common cause of lost work and memories. (这是工作和记忆丢失的最常见原因。)”进一步阐述了电脑崩溃的后果，即导致工作和记忆丢失，与上文紧密相连。故选D项。

根据上文“There are so many advantages to cloud computing, from the ability to access your data from wherever, whenever, to not needing expensive external storage devices.

The covering veil of a Chinese bride is a piece of square-shaped red color silk which is usually decorated with designed peony or phoenix patterns. The meaning behind this tradition is that people believe a red covering veil can drive away the misfortune and also covers the nervous flushing face of the bride.
During the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony, the bride is handed by her groom. Her head should be covered by a red veil which is falling down to her shoulder for the whole ceremony. The covering veil is not taken off until all the relatives and friends have left. It is the g room who can take off her covering veil. Traditionally, the groom should take off her veil using a small steelyard (杆秤). Imagine the special and sweet moment when the groom takes the veil off and sees a blushing and excited face with the faint candle-light while they sit on the edge of the new bed. The bride’s covering veil is connected with the special occasion where the lovers are eager for their life.
In ancient China, the covering veil or gaitou was just a method to keep warm. It later turned into an accessory (配饰) for maids serving the emperor’s palace. Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, the bride covers her entire head with a piece of red cloth or gaitou to prevent herself from being seen by others on the wedding day, including the groom. This veil is only to be lifted up by the g room on the wedding night. For most of them in old China, it would be the first time they saw each other. The reason why the arm of the steelyard is used to lift the veil is that the Chinese character for this device also has the meaning of “satisfied” and thus, by using this device, the groom expresses that he would be completely satisfied with the look of the bride.
24. What is the meaning of the red covering veil in the wedding ceremony according to the custom
A. Getting rid of bad luck.
B. Attracting people’s curiosity about the bride.
C. Representing the bride’s loyalty to her family.
D. Adding a romantic atmosphere to the wedding.
25. What can we know about the traditional Chinese wedding ceremony according to the passage
A. The steelyard is used to measure the weight of the veil.
B. The bride’s red veil is removed by the groom using a steelyard.
C. In ancient China, the groom could see the bride’s face before the wedding.
D. Relatives and friends are present when the groom removes the bride’s veil.
26. Why would a steelyard be used to lift up the covering veil
A. It was deeply rooted in the palace. B. It reflected the groom’s expectation.
C. It stood for good luck and sweet life. D. It could be easily found in old times.
27. What could be the best title for the passage
A. Wedding Ceremonies in China’s History.
B. Things Used for a Traditional Chinese Wedding.
C. Wearing a Covering Veil on a Chinese Wedding.
D. Customs of Traditional Chinese Wedding Ceremonies.

As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may expect colorful fireworks to light up the sky with bright flashes and loud booms. However, the attraction of fireworks could fade away with the growing use of drones (无人机) for light shows.
Ollie Howitt, a leader of one of the world’s leading drone light show companies, which used a team of 300 drones to put on a display for London’s new year celebration last year, said that demand for drone shows had increased greatly. “We do believe these shows will gain wider popularity, instead of just being a short-lived kind of fashion. Drones are reusable and leave no harmful waste after use. In that sense, they become a good and eco-friendly choice,” she explained.
But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association warned that drones could also cause environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries (锂电池) which are known not to be all that green,” they said.
An RSPCA spokesperson also mentioned that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were problems. Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and may bother animals and members of the public. Therefore, it’s important to carefully consider their possible effects and take proper measures to reduce the chance of accidents.
Some express the opinion that fireworks and drones don’t exclude each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.
“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive and big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.
28. What does Howitt think a drone display in paragraph 2
A. It’s definitely an upward trend. B. It’ll get us to reflect on energy crisis.
C. It’s nothing but a short-term phenomenon. D. It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.
29. Which of the following is not the problem of using drones for light shows compared with fireworks
A. Using high electricity. B. Causing trouble to the public.
C. Worsening environmental problems. D. Bothering animals like horses and birds.
30. Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph
A. Promoting the production of drones. B. Diversifying the functions of drones.
C. Limiting the displays of fireworks. D. Staging drone shows as another choice.
31. In which part of a website can we read this text
A. Health. B. Business. C. Environment. D. Advertisement.
D
As psychologists (心理学家) have long recognised, we humans cope with negative things by employing psychological defences. These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. Another example is the ’better-than-average’ effect, in which case we think we’re better than most others at various skills from driving to maths.
Getting defensive when we’re criticised, or when we make a mistake, is yet another of these self-protective mechanisms (机制). As the politicians so often say: “mistakes were made, but not by me”.
So, when you give someone negative feedback (反馈) or you criticise them or their beliefs, you are — perhaps unconsciously — threatening their psychological defences. By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. A way for people to avoid these uncomfortable feelings and thoughts is to get defensive, to deny they did anything wrong, or to engage in the mental gymnastics needed to save face.
Support for the social and moral aspects of defensiveness comes from a study by psychologists at Australia’s University of Flinders in 2020. The researchers showed that volunteers’ defensiveness (about past mistakes or possible moral guilt) was strengthened if they’d just had an experience of being socially rejected — thus making them more mentally weak. Contrarily, the volunteers acted less defensively if they’d had an earlier opportunity to demonstrate their moral values, which would have made them feel more secure about their moral standing.
One practical point from all this is that when you’re giving negative feedback, it pays to consider the effect it may have on the other person’s self-confidence. Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally.
32. Which of the following is an example of “using psychological defences”
A. A teacher praises students’ progress to encourage them to keep learning.
B. When seeing a classmate win a competition, someone says he is just fortunate.
C. People usually feel confident and proud when they show their driving skills.
D. A student credits their excellent grade to hard work after studying for weeks.
33. What does the underlined word “trigger” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Control. B. Hide. C. Cause. D. Reduce.
34. What does the passage suggest doing when giving criticism
A. Ignoring the ways to fix the mistakes made.
B. Concentrating on the person’s character flaws directly.
C. Pointing out only the mistakes without any suggestions.
D. Focusing on how to correct the mistakes.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Psychological Defences and How to Deal with Them.
B. The “Better-than-average” Effect in Daily Life.
C. Negative Feedback and Its Harm to People.
D. The Importance of Self-confidence in Society.

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是首段“The covering veil of a Chinese bride is a piece of square-shaped red color silk which is usually decorated with designed peony or phoenix patterns.

【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要讲述无人机灯光秀作为烟花替代品的兴起、其环保优势和潜在问题（如电力需求、环境影响和动物干扰），以及它与烟花共存的可能性。文章通过呈现支持者（如Howitt）和反对者（如英国烟花协会和RSPCA）的观点，探讨了这一趋势的利弊。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We do believe these shows will gain wider popularity, instead of just being a short-lived kind of fashion.”（我们相信这些节目会受到更广泛的欢迎，而不仅仅是短暂的时尚）可知，Howitt认为无人机表演是一种上升的趋势。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Suggestions are that drones have less impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries (锂电池) which are known not to be all that green”（建议是无人机对环境的影响较小，但我们对电力需求和锂电池的使用表示严重关切，众所周知，锂电池并不那么环保）及第四段“Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and may bother animals and members of the public. ”（无人机也不是没有负面问题，比如吓马或者撞鸟，可能会打扰动物和公众。）可知，无人机用电量高，会造成环境问题，也会打扰到动物和公众，这就它的问题。A、B、D都描述的是无人机的问题，C项“恶化环境问题”未提及。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if it’s just another tool for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on ”（我们发现烟花与无人机配合使用效果很好。但我们根本不认为它是一种替代品。我们觉得这只是你如何活跃天空以及你想用你正在上演的节目做什么的另一个工具）可推断出，Howitt主张无人机表演作为烟花的补充选择，而非完全替代，Howitt建议将无人机表演作为另一种选择。故选D项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文可知，本文讲述无人机灯光秀作为烟花替代品的兴起、其环保优势和潜在问题（如电力需求、环境影响和动物干扰），由此可知这篇文章会出现在网站上有关环境的部分。故选C项。

32. B 33. C 34. D 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了心理防御机制及其在批评反馈中的应对方式。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“These often take the form of self-serving biases (偏见), that is, we tend to owe other people’s successes to good luck, while seeing our own good results as a sign of born talent. (这些往往表现为自利偏见，也就是说，我们倾向于把别人的成功归功于好运，而把自己的好结果看作是天生才华的标志)”可知，当看到同学赢得比赛时，有人说他只是运气好，是使用心理防御的例子。故选B。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“By forcing them to recognise how they’ve mistaken, you’re likely to trigger extremely uncomfortable social emotions, such as a shame, guilt or embarrassment, or scary thoughts of rejection or loss of status. (通过强迫他们认识到自己的错误，你很可能会trigger极其不舒服的社会情绪，比如羞耻、内疚或尴尬，或者对被拒绝或失去地位的可怕想法)”可知，通过强迫他们认识到自己的错误，你很可能会引起极其不舒服的社会情绪，所以trigger的意思是“引起，导致”。故选C。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally. (因此，把你的批评集中在他们做错了什么上，而不是他们的性格或品格上。你也可以通过关注他们的错误如何被纠正，或者他们下次如何改进，来减轻一些刺痛，这样他们就不太可能把事情看得那么个人化)”可知，文章建议在批评别人时，要专注于如何纠正错误。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“As psychologists (心理学家) have long recognised, we humans cope with negative things by employing psychological defences.(正如心理学家早就认识到的那样，我们人类通过心理防御来应对消极的事情)”和最后一段中“Therefore, focus your criticism on what they did wrong, not on their personality or character. You can also take some of the sting out by concentrating on how their mistake can be fixed or how they can improve next time, that way they’re less likely to take things so personally. (因此，把你的批评集中在他们做错了什么上，而不是他们的性格或品格上。你也可以通过关注他们的错误如何被纠正，或者他们下次如何改进，来减轻一些刺痛，这样他们就不太可能把事情看得那么个人化)”可知，本文主要讲述了心理防御机制及其在批评反馈中的应对方式。A选项“Psychological Defences and How to Deal with Them. (心理防御机制及其应对方式)”符合题意。故选A。
