In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home, I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.

Emmanuel Mendoza, a college student, is currently running a study at Texas A&M University, where he’s mixing simulated (模拟的) Martian (火星的) soil and frass (粪便) from fly larvae (幼虫) to find just the right recipe for growing plants on Mars.
The seed of this idea was planted when Mendoza was in middle school, watching Ridley Scott’s 2015 film The Martian, in which Mark Watney becomes stuck on the planet and grows potatoes to survive. “That got me really interested in what nutrients or what soil structure Martian soil has that we could potentially take advantage of,” Mendoza said.
Now, he’s running an experiment growing English peas in simulated Martian soil. “I definitely considered potatoes like Mark Watney,” he said. “But the fact was that I couldn’t necessarily get the data I wanted out of them.”
He wanted to be able to measure plant growth as it occurred throughout his experiment. Since potatoes grow underground, he’d only be able to collect data once they were done growing. In the end, Mendoza chose to grow English peas because they’re self-pollinating (自花传粉), grow fairly quickly and he can see the shoots climb.
Martian soil, though it does contain other essential nutrients. Isn’t exactly ideal for plants from Earth. It tends to be rocky and lacks the right organic (有机的) matter. Here’s where the larvae come in. Mendoza turned to the larvae of black soldier flies, which produce a waste known as frass. “They can break down almost any biomatter and turn it into really useful matter,” Mendoza said. “And then you can use the frass as a nutrient alternative so soil.”
For this experiment, Mendoza mixed different percentages of simulated Martian soil and frass to see what best supported growing English pea plants. Now, he said he’s seeing growth across all his plants — even the ones growing in 100% simulated Martian soil.
28. Why does the author mention the film The Martian
A. To show Mendoza’s enthusiasm for films.
B. To illustrate Mark Watney’s intelligence.
C. To introduce the origin of Mendoza’s experiment.
D. To prove Mark Watney’s interest in gardening.
29. Why did Mendoza grow English peas instead of potatoes
A. He was unwilling to repeat others’ study.
B. It was more convenient to collect the data.
C. Potatoes needed stricter living conditions.
D. English peas grew far faster than potatoes.
30. What is the function of frass
A. It serves as certain essential nutrients.
B. It loosens the soil for plants to grow.
C. It makes the soil become quite rocky.
D. It helps black soldier flies grow stronger.
31. How does Mendoza feel about his experiment results
A. Doubtful. B. Pleased. C. Intolerant. D. Disappointed.
D
A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century shows how they might react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.
The paper is authored by scientists Hal Whitehead and Luke Rendell, and their research addresses an age-old question: if whales are so smart, why did they hang around to be killed The answer They didn’t.
Using newly digitized whaling records detailing the hunting of sperm whales (抹香鲸) in the Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers’ tools fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to a shocking conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.
Before humans, orca (虎鲸) were sperm whales’ only hunters, against whom sperm whales form protective circles, their powerful tails held outwards to keep orca away. But such methods “just made it easier for the hunters to kill them,” says Whitehead.
It was a frighteningly rapid killing. Sperm whales are highly socialized animals, able to communicate over great distances. They also have the largest brain on the planet. It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them. Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships. “This was cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution,” says Whitehead.
Now, just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial damage, they face new threats. “They’re having to learn not to get hit by ships, adapt to the changing sources of their food due to climate change, and deal with noise pollution,” says Whitehead.
As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them. After all, it was the whales that inspired Herman Melville to produce Moby-Dick. “We account the whale immortal (永恒的) in his species, however short-lived in individuality,” he wrote, “and if ever the world is to be again flooded... then the whale will still survive…”
32. What is the focus of the new study
A. How whales communicate with each other.
B. The impact of human activities on whale populations.
C. The evolution of whale species over millions of years.
D. How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19st century.
33. What caused the sharp drop in whales’ successful strikes on sperm whales
A. Whale numbers fell. B. Weather conditions worsened.
C. Whales changed their behaviour. D. Demands for whale products decreased.
34. What does “cultural evolution” mean in paragraph 5
A. A slow process of change. B. Genetic changes over time.
C. Natural selection in the real world. D. Quick learning and adaptation.
35. What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph
A. Humans should respect and learn from whales.
B. Whales have a deep connection with the ocean.
C. Whales can adapt to changing environment rapidly.
D. Whale culture is more advanced than human culture.
第二节 七选五 (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。
Asking for help can feel scary. We may worry that the request will be rejected or that it will be a burden to the helper. 36 And afterward, they often feel better about having helped than we expect.
Scientists conducted a series of six experiments. Altogether, more than 2,100 people were involved in the research. In one experiment, participants had to ask strangers to take their photo at a public botanical garden. In another, participants answered questions about times when they had either asked for or given help. Researchers had the “askers” guess how the “helpers” might feel about the request.
37
In each experiment, people who asked for help underestimated the helpers’ willingness to assist and how good they would feel afterward. 38 However, only four out of 100 people refused to take the photo, and those who did take one said they felt relatively good about doing this helpful act for a stranger.
39 Aiding others can create what is known as a “helper’s high”, reducing stress and providing a sense of meaning and connection. “We feel good making a positive difference in other people’s lives,” said Xuan Zhao, co-author of the new study.
Despite these benefits, the study authors said that askers’ fears functioned like “barriers”, stopping them from making a request. They noted that the type of request and cultural differences could affect the way people react. The study’s results suggest, however, that people are usually happy to lend a hand.
40 Zhao said this research should provide some reassurance because “you might be really underestimating how willing others are to help.”
A. The askers expressed rather different opinions.
B. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt.
C. Studies show that helping someone out makes both feel good.
D. Past research has shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s health.
E. But new research shows that people are more willing to help out than we think.
F. Experts say that if asking for help feels uncomfortable, it can be useful to practice.
G. For example, askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo.

22. D. It works together with other apps.
根据Sukha VS Other Productivity Apps部分However, Sukha takes a unique approach. With Sukha, your needs are met in one place. You can integrate other apps into the platform.（然而，Sukha采用独特方法：通过整合其他应用，一站式满足需求）。该句明确说明整合外部应用是其区别于其他工具的独特优势。

B篇文章讲述了作者如何通过重新拾起青少年时期的摄影爱好，在成年的忙碌与压力中找到幸福与自我疗愈的故事。
24. C. Exciting and worthwhile.
根据第一段In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home, I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.（在我十几岁的时候，我曾收到一台胶片相机作为礼物。收到相机后，我立刻跳上自行车，前往温布尔登公地拍照，只为自己：拍摄树木和野生动物的照片。我整天都在外面。在回家的路上，我看到一棵被路灯照亮的树，便试图捕捉它的辉煌。我匆忙赶回家，把用过的胶卷放进一个特殊的小信封里，寄给一家摄影店，迫切想知道拍出来的效果。那时我拍了很多照片，而且我很喜欢这样一个事实：当你冲洗胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这些照片定格了珍贵的瞬间，温柔地鼓励着这个爱好，也鼓励着人们支付冲洗费用。）
本段通过动作与心理描写体现了作者对待摄影的兴奋感与价值感。
25. D. He was faced with increasing pressure.
根据第二段As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.（随着我长大成人，那种简单而深沉的快乐逐渐消逝。一个周末，当我忙于接工作电话时，我的目光落在了房间角落的一个盒子上。我突然感到一阵悲伤。这些年积累的压力，已经将相机从我枕边推到了角落的盒子里。我觉得我需要做出改变。）
第二段明确了积累的压力让作者远离了摄影爱好。
26. A. More fun in the daily routine.
根据第三段I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.（我拿出相机，掸去上面的灰尘。令我欣喜的是，它竟然还能用。我买了新胶卷，无论走到哪里都带着相机。现在，它总是陪伴我左右，让我在旅途中能有些许独处的时间。即使日子充实而忙碌，我也能为自己捕捉一些瞬间，拍下照片，观察周围的世界。）
第三段强调摄影融入了作者的生活，带来了愉悦乐趣。
27. D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography
根据第四段by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.（为生活中的乐趣留出空间，并创造一个充满愉悦机会的环境。）
文章最后，作者提到通过为生活中的愉悦创造空间，以及创造一个允许惊喜机会存在的环境，找到了幸福，这与选项D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography（通过摄影重获愉悦）最为贴切。
C篇文章讲述了Texas A&M大学的大学生Emmanuel Mendoza受到电影《火星救援》的启发，开展了一项将模拟火星土壤和黑水虻幼虫粪便混合，寻找在火星上种植植物的合适方案的实验。他最终选择种植英国豌豆作为实验对象，并且目前实验已经取得了初步的积极成果。
28. C. To introduce the origin of Mendoza’s experiment.
根据第二段The seed of this idea was planted when Mendoza was in middle school, watching Ridley Scott’s 2015 film The Martian...（这个想法的种子是在门多萨上中学时，观看雷德利·斯科特2015年的电影《火星救援》时埋下的……）
这句话明确说明这部电影就是Mendoza这个实验想法的起点，因此选C. To introduce the origin of Mendoza’s experiment.
29. B. It was more convenient to collect the data.
根据第四段He wanted to be able to measure plant growth as it occurred throughout his experiment. Since potatoes grow underground, he’d only be able to collect data once they were done growing. In the end, Mendoza chose to grow English peas because they’re self-pollinating, grow fairly quickly and he can see the shoots climb.（他希望能够在整个实验过程中测量植物的生长情况。由于土豆是在地下生长的，他只能在土豆长成后收集数据。最终，Mendoza选择了种植英国豌豆，因为它们是自花授粉的，生长速度相当快，而且他能看到豆苗向上攀爬。）
Mendoza希望全程观测植物生长过程，土豆长在地下只能在成熟后收集一次数据，而豌豆可以直观看到生长过程，方便全程获取实验数据。选项B. It was more convenient to collect the data符合这一核心原因。
30. A. It serves as certain essential nutrients.
根据第五段Martian soil...lacks the right organic matter. Here’s where the larvae come in...And then you can use the frass as a nutrient alternative so soil.（火星土壤……缺乏合适的有机物质。这就是幼虫发挥作用的地方……然后你可以用虫粪作为土壤的替代营养源。）
文中说明火星土壤缺乏有机质，而幼虫粪便可以作为土壤养分的替代来源，为植物提供必要的营养。选项A. It serves as certain essential nutrients契合该描述。
31. B. Pleased.
根据第六段Now, he said he’s seeing growth across all his plants — even the ones growing in 100% simulated Martian soil.（现在，他说他看到他所有的植物都在生长——甚至包括那些在100%模拟火星土壤中生长的植物。）
所有实验组的豌豆都顺利生长，哪怕是纯模拟火星土壤的对照组也有生长，这说明实验取得了超出预期的好结果，他应该是感到满意的，因此选 B. Pleased.
D篇文章介绍了一项新研究，通过19世纪的捕鲸数字化记录分析抹香鲸在遭遇人类捕猎时的行为变化：它们快速互相传递危险信息、放弃原有防御阵型改用顺风游动来躲避风力捕鲸船，并且将这个生存技巧作为种群文化传承了下来。研究也借此引出鲸鱼如今在21世纪面临新的人类威胁，呼吁人类应当向拥有数百万年传承的鲸类种群学习。
32. D. How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19st century.
根据第一段A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century （研究19世纪鲸鱼遭人类攻击时的行为）
开篇即点明研究对象是19世纪鲸鱼遭人类攻击时的行为，选项D. How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19st century.精准对应。
33. C. Whales changed their behaviour.
根据第三段information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.（关于它们身上发生的事情的信息在鲸鱼之间被集体分享，它们因此对自己的行为做出了必要的调整。）
文中明确指出鲸鱼在种群内共享危险信息后做出了关键行为改变，最终导致捕鲸成功率下降。选项C. Whales changed their behaviour.契合这一描述
34. D. Quick learning and adaptation.
根据第五段Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships. “This was cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution,” says Whitehead.（ 鲸鱼放弃了它们通常的队形，逆风而上，以躲避猎人们的风力船只。“这是文化进化，比基因进化快得多，”Whitehead说。）
该句点明文化演化比基因演化更快，鲸鱼快速放弃旧阵型改用新逃生方式，本质就是种群快速学习并适应危险的过程，因此选 D. Quick learning and adaptation.
35. A. Humans should respect and learn from whales.
根据最后一段As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them.（正如Whitehead所言，鲸鱼文化比我们的文化要悠久数百万年。或许我们需要向它们学习。）
作者明确提出人类应当向拥有更久远传承的鲸类学习，选项A. Humans should respect and learn from whales.完全贴合这一核心主旨。
第二节 七选五
本文围绕求助这一行为展开，指出人们普遍害怕求助，担心被拒绝或者麻烦别人，但是新研究表明，人们实际愿意伸出援手的程度远超求助者的想象，同时帮助他人也能让助人者获得心理上的积极反馈。文章通过一系列实验佐证该结论，并说明了助人行为的益处，最后建议人们不必过度恐惧求助。
36. E. But new research shows that people are more willing to help out than we think.
前文We may worry that the request will be rejected or that it will be a burden to the helper.描述求助恐惧，担心被拒绝或成为负担，后文And afterward, they often feel better about having helped than we expect.强调帮助者感受比预期好。选项 E. But new research shows that people are more willing to help out than we think.（但是新的研究表明，人们比我们想象的更愿意帮助别人。）直接形成转折，引入研究主题，反驳前文的恐惧。
37. B. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt.
前文Researchers had the “askers” guess how the “helpers” might feel about the request.提到研究人员让请求者猜测帮助者感受，空格后第三段进入实验结果。选项B. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt.（然后他们询问了帮助者的实际感受）描述实验下一步骤，形成猜测—实际的对
38. G. For example, askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo.
前文In each experiment, people who asked for help underestimated the helpers’ willingness to assist and how good they would feel afterward.总结实验结果：请求者低估帮助者意愿和感受，后文However, only four out of 100 people refused to take the photo, and those who did take one said they felt relatively good about doing this helpful act for a stranger.以拍照实验具体数据反驳。选项G. For example, askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo.（例如，提问者希望陌生人对拍照的要求感到不方便。）提供实例，说明请求者的错误预期（如担心不便），与实际数据形成对比。
39. D. Past research has shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s health.
空格处是第四段首句，后文解释帮助的益处（如a “helper’s high”帮助者快感和making a positive difference in other people’s lives健康效应）。选项D. Past research has shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s health.（过去的研究表明，做好事可以促进人们的健康。）引入科学背景，强化后文论述的权威性，且提升健康与减少压力直接呼应。
40. F. Experts say that if asking for help feels uncomfortable, it can be useful to practice.
前文The study’s results suggest, however, that people are usually happy to lend a hand.强调人们通常很乐意伸出援助之手，后文引用Zhao的话总结人们往往低估了别人的帮助意愿。选项F. Experts say that if asking for help feels uncomfortable, it can be useful to practice.（专家说，如果寻求帮助让你感到不舒服，练习是有用的。）给出行动建议，解决前文提到的askers’ fears functioned like “barriers”恐惧障碍，并呼应Zhao的安慰reassurance。

In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home, I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.

Emmanuel Mendoza, a college student, is currently running a study at Texas A&M University, where he’s mixing simulated (模拟的) Martian (火星的) soil and frass (粪便) from fly larvae (幼虫) to find just the right recipe for growing plants on Mars.
The seed of this idea was planted when Mendoza was in middle school, watching Ridley Scott’s 2015 film The Martian, in which Mark Watney becomes stuck on the planet and grows potatoes to survive. “That got me really interested in what nutrients or what soil structure Martian soil has that we could potentially take advantage of,” Mendoza said.
Now, he’s running an experiment growing English peas in simulated Martian soil. “I definitely considered potatoes like Mark Watney,” he said. “But the fact was that I couldn’t necessarily get the data I wanted out of them.”
He wanted to be able to measure plant growth as it occurred throughout his experiment. Since potatoes grow underground, he’d only be able to collect data once they were done growing. In the end, Mendoza chose to grow English peas because they’re self-pollinating (自花传粉), grow fairly quickly and he can see the shoots climb.
Martian soil, though it does contain other essential nutrients. Isn’t exactly ideal for plants from Earth. It tends to be rocky and lacks the right organic (有机的) matter. Here’s where the larvae come in. Mendoza turned to the larvae of black soldier flies, which produce a waste known as frass. “They can break down almost any biomatter and turn it into really useful matter,” Mendoza said. “And then you can use the frass as a nutrient alternative so soil.”
For this experiment, Mendoza mixed different percentages of simulated Martian soil and frass to see what best supported growing English pea plants. Now, he said he’s seeing growth across all his plants — even the ones growing in 100% simulated Martian soil.
28. Why does the author mention the film The Martian
A. To show Mendoza’s enthusiasm for films.
B. To illustrate Mark Watney’s intelligence.
C. To introduce the origin of Mendoza’s experiment.
D. To prove Mark Watney’s interest in gardening.
29. Why did Mendoza grow English peas instead of potatoes
A. He was unwilling to repeat others’ study.
B. It was more convenient to collect the data.
C. Potatoes needed stricter living conditions.
D. English peas grew far faster than potatoes.
30. What is the function of frass
A. It serves as certain essential nutrients.
B. It loosens the soil for plants to grow.
C. It makes the soil become quite rocky.
D. It helps black soldier flies grow stronger.
31. How does Mendoza feel about his experiment results
A. Doubtful. B. Pleased. C. Intolerant. D. Disappointed.
D
A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century shows how they might react to changes caused by humans in the 21st century.
The paper is authored by scientists Hal Whitehead and Luke Rendell, and their research addresses an age-old question: if whales are so smart, why did they hang around to be killed The answer They didn’t.
Using newly digitized whaling records detailing the hunting of sperm whales (抹香鲸) in the Pacific, the authors discovered that within just a few years, the strike rate of the whalers’ tools fell by 58%. This simple fact leads to a shocking conclusion: that information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.
Before humans, orca (虎鲸) were sperm whales’ only hunters, against whom sperm whales form protective circles, their powerful tails held outwards to keep orca away. But such methods “just made it easier for the hunters to kill them,” says Whitehead.
It was a frighteningly rapid killing. Sperm whales are highly socialized animals, able to communicate over great distances. They also have the largest brain on the planet. It is not hard to imagine that they understood what was happening to them. Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships. “This was cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution,” says Whitehead.
Now, just as whales are beginning to recover from the industrial damage, they face new threats. “They’re having to learn not to get hit by ships, adapt to the changing sources of their food due to climate change, and deal with noise pollution,” says Whitehead.
As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them. After all, it was the whales that inspired Herman Melville to produce Moby-Dick. “We account the whale immortal (永恒的) in his species, however short-lived in individuality,” he wrote, “and if ever the world is to be again flooded... then the whale will still survive…”
32. What is the focus of the new study
A. How whales communicate with each other.
B. The impact of human activities on whale populations.
C. The evolution of whale species over millions of years.
D. How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19st century.
33. What caused the sharp drop in whales’ successful strikes on sperm whales
A. Whale numbers fell. B. Weather conditions worsened.
C. Whales changed their behaviour. D. Demands for whale products decreased.
34. What does “cultural evolution” mean in paragraph 5
A. A slow process of change. B. Genetic changes over time.
C. Natural selection in the real world. D. Quick learning and adaptation.
35. What does the author intend to express in the last paragraph
A. Humans should respect and learn from whales.
B. Whales have a deep connection with the ocean.
C. Whales can adapt to changing environment rapidly.
D. Whale culture is more advanced than human culture.

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。
Asking for help can feel scary. We may worry that the request will be rejected or that it will be a burden to the helper. 36 And afterward, they often feel better about having helped than we expect.
Scientists conducted a series of six experiments. Altogether, more than 2,100 people were involved in the research. In one experiment, participants had to ask strangers to take their photo at a public botanical garden. In another, participants answered questions about times when they had either asked for or given help. Researchers had the “askers” guess how the “helpers” might feel about the request.
37
In each experiment, people who asked for help underestimated the helpers’ willingness to assist and how good they would feel afterward. 38 However, only four out of 100 people refused to take the photo, and those who did take one said they felt relatively good about doing this helpful act for a stranger.
39 Aiding others can create what is known as a “helper’s high”, reducing stress and providing a sense of meaning and connection. “We feel good making a positive difference in other people’s lives,” said Xuan Zhao, co-author of the new study.
Despite these benefits, the study authors said that askers’ fears functioned like “barriers”, stopping them from making a request. They noted that the type of request and cultural differences could affect the way people react. The study’s results suggest, however, that people are usually happy to lend a hand.
40 Zhao said this research should provide some reassurance because “you might be really underestimating how willing others are to help.”
A. The askers expressed rather different opinions.
B. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt.
C. Studies show that helping someone out makes both feel good.

参考答案
第二部分 阅读
第一节 阅读理解
A篇文章针对当下快节奏数字时代里大众普遍存在的分心、工作倦怠、效率低下的痛点，详细介绍了一款名为Sukha的专注效率提升软件，涵盖了软件核心功能、特色亮点、竞品优势差异以及收费模式，同时给出了客服联系方式，呼吁用户下载体验该软件。
21. C. To enhance working efficiency.
根据第二段Sukha is a productivity-boosting focus app that helps you complete tasks more efficiently...（Sukha是一款提升生产力的专注应用，帮助你更高效地完成任务）。该句直接指出其核心目标是提高工作效率（productivity-boosting）。
22. D. It works together with other apps.
根据Sukha VS Other Productivity Apps部分However, Sukha takes a unique approach. With Sukha, your needs are met in one place. You can integrate other apps into the platform.（然而，Sukha采用独特方法：通过整合其他应用，一站式满足需求）。该句明确说明整合外部应用是其区别于其他工具的独特优势。
23. C. Users will be charged $10 per month for the Pro subscription.
根据Sukha Pricing部分After the conclusion of your 14-day trial, you will be automatically moved to the Basic Plan at no cost. However, if you wish to continue with the Pro Subscription, you need to pay $10 per month.（14天试用期结束后，用户自动转为免费基础版；若需Pro订阅，则每月支付10美元）。选项Users will be charged $10 per month for the Pro subscription与此完全匹配。
B篇文章讲述了作者如何通过重新拾起青少年时期的摄影爱好，在成年的忙碌与压力中找到幸福与自我疗愈的故事。
24. C. Exciting and worthwhile.
根据第一段In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home, I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its splendour. Rushing home, I popped the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it came out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.（在我十几岁的时候，我曾收到一台胶片相机作为礼物。收到相机后，我立刻跳上自行车，前往温布尔登公地拍照，只为自己：拍摄树木和野生动物的照片。我整天都在外面。在回家的路上，我看到一棵被路灯照亮的树，便试图捕捉它的辉煌。我匆忙赶回家，把用过的胶卷放进一个特殊的小信封里，寄给一家摄影店，迫切想知道拍出来的效果。那时我拍了很多照片，而且我很喜欢这样一个事实：当你冲洗胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这些照片定格了珍贵的瞬间，温柔地鼓励着这个爱好，也鼓励着人们支付冲洗费用。）
本段通过动作与心理描写体现了作者对待摄影的兴奋感与价值感。
25. D. He was faced with increasing pressure.
根据第二段As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.（随着我长大成人，那种简单而深沉的快乐逐渐消逝。一个周末，当我忙于接工作电话时，我的目光落在了房间角落的一个盒子上。我突然感到一阵悲伤。这些年积累的压力，已经将相机从我枕边推到了角落的盒子里。我觉得我需要做出改变。）
第二段明确了积累的压力让作者远离了摄影爱好。
26. A. More fun in the daily routine.
根据第三段I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.（我拿出相机，掸去上面的灰尘。令我欣喜的是，它竟然还能用。我买了新胶卷，无论走到哪里都带着相机。现在，它总是陪伴我左右，让我在旅途中能有些许独处的时间。即使日子充实而忙碌，我也能为自己捕捉一些瞬间，拍下照片，观察周围的世界。）
第三段强调摄影融入了作者的生活，带来了愉悦乐趣。
27. D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography
根据第四段by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.（为生活中的乐趣留出空间，并创造一个充满愉悦机会的环境。）
文章最后，作者提到通过为生活中的愉悦创造空间，以及创造一个允许惊喜机会存在的环境，找到了幸福，这与选项D. Regaining Pleasure Through Photography（通过摄影重获愉悦）最为贴切。
C篇文章讲述了Texas A&M大学的大学生Emmanuel Mendoza受到电影《火星救援》的启发，开展了一项将模拟火星土壤和黑水虻幼虫粪便混合，寻找在火星上种植植物的合适方案的实验。他最终选择种植英国豌豆作为实验对象，并且目前实验已经取得了初步的积极成果。
28. C. To introduce the origin of Mendoza’s experiment.
根据第二段The seed of this idea was planted when Mendoza was in middle school, watching Ridley Scott’s 2015 film The Martian...（这个想法的种子是在门多萨上中学时，观看雷德利·斯科特2015年的电影《火星救援》时埋下的……）
这句话明确说明这部电影就是Mendoza这个实验想法的起点，因此选C. To introduce the origin of Mendoza’s experiment.
29. B. It was more convenient to collect the data.
根据第四段He wanted to be able to measure plant growth as it occurred throughout his experiment. Since potatoes grow underground, he’d only be able to collect data once they were done growing. In the end, Mendoza chose to grow English peas because they’re self-pollinating, grow fairly quickly and he can see the shoots climb.（他希望能够在整个实验过程中测量植物的生长情况。由于土豆是在地下生长的，他只能在土豆长成后收集数据。最终，Mendoza选择了种植英国豌豆，因为它们是自花授粉的，生长速度相当快，而且他能看到豆苗向上攀爬。）
Mendoza希望全程观测植物生长过程，土豆长在地下只能在成熟后收集一次数据，而豌豆可以直观看到生长过程，方便全程获取实验数据。选项B. It was more convenient to collect the data符合这一核心原因。
30. A. It serves as certain essential nutrients.
根据第五段Martian soil...lacks the right organic matter. Here’s where the larvae come in...And then you can use the frass as a nutrient alternative so soil.（火星土壤……缺乏合适的有机物质。这就是幼虫发挥作用的地方……然后你可以用虫粪作为土壤的替代营养源。）
文中说明火星土壤缺乏有机质，而幼虫粪便可以作为土壤养分的替代来源，为植物提供必要的营养。选项A. It serves as certain essential nutrients契合该描述。
31. B. Pleased.
根据第六段Now, he said he’s seeing growth across all his plants — even the ones growing in 100% simulated Martian soil.（现在，他说他看到他所有的植物都在生长——甚至包括那些在100%模拟火星土壤中生长的植物。）
所有实验组的豌豆都顺利生长，哪怕是纯模拟火星土壤的对照组也有生长，这说明实验取得了超出预期的好结果，他应该是感到满意的，因此选 B. Pleased.
D篇文章介绍了一项新研究，通过19世纪的捕鲸数字化记录分析抹香鲸在遭遇人类捕猎时的行为变化：它们快速互相传递危险信息、放弃原有防御阵型改用顺风游动来躲避风力捕鲸船，并且将这个生存技巧作为种群文化传承了下来。研究也借此引出鲸鱼如今在21世纪面临新的人类威胁，呼吁人类应当向拥有数百万年传承的鲸类种群学习。
32. D. How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19st century.
根据第一段A new study on how whales behaved when attacked by humans in the 19th century （研究19世纪鲸鱼遭人类攻击时的行为）
开篇即点明研究对象是19世纪鲸鱼遭人类攻击时的行为，选项D. How whales reacted to human attacks in the 19st century.精准对应。
33. C. Whales changed their behaviour.
根据第三段information about what was happening to them was being collectively shared among the whales, who made essential changes to their behavior.（关于它们身上发生的事情的信息在鲸鱼之间被集体分享，它们因此对自己的行为做出了必要的调整。）
文中明确指出鲸鱼在种群内共享危险信息后做出了关键行为改变，最终导致捕鲸成功率下降。选项C. Whales changed their behaviour.契合这一描述
34. D. Quick learning and adaptation.
根据第五段Giving up their usual formations, the whales swam upwind to escape the hunters’ wind-powered ships. “This was cultural evolution, much faster than genetic evolution,” says Whitehead.（ 鲸鱼放弃了它们通常的队形，逆风而上，以躲避猎人们的风力船只。“这是文化进化，比基因进化快得多，”Whitehead说。）
该句点明文化演化比基因演化更快，鲸鱼快速放弃旧阵型改用新逃生方式，本质就是种群快速学习并适应危险的过程，因此选 D. Quick learning and adaptation.
35. A. Humans should respect and learn from whales.
根据最后一段As Whitehead observes, whale culture is many millions of years older than ours. Perhaps we need to learn from them.（正如Whitehead所言，鲸鱼文化比我们的文化要悠久数百万年。或许我们需要向它们学习。）
作者明确提出人类应当向拥有更久远传承的鲸类学习，选项A. Humans should respect and learn from whales.完全贴合这一核心主旨。
第二节 七选五
本文围绕求助这一行为展开，指出人们普遍害怕求助，担心被拒绝或者麻烦别人，但是新研究表明，人们实际愿意伸出援手的程度远超求助者的想象，同时帮助他人也能让助人者获得心理上的积极反馈。文章通过一系列实验佐证该结论，并说明了助人行为的益处，最后建议人们不必过度恐惧求助。
36. E. But new research shows that people are more willing to help out than we think.
前文We may worry that the request will be rejected or that it will be a burden to the helper.描述求助恐惧，担心被拒绝或成为负担，后文And afterward, they often feel better about having helped than we expect.强调帮助者感受比预期好。选项 E. But new research shows that people are more willing to help out than we think.（但是新的研究表明，人们比我们想象的更愿意帮助别人。）直接形成转折，引入研究主题，反驳前文的恐惧。
37. B. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt.
前文Researchers had the “askers” guess how the “helpers” might feel about the request.提到研究人员让请求者猜测帮助者感受，空格后第三段进入实验结果。选项B. Then they asked the helpers how they actually felt.（然后他们询问了帮助者的实际感受）描述实验下一步骤，形成猜测—实际的对
38. G. For example, askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo.
前文In each experiment, people who asked for help underestimated the helpers’ willingness to assist and how good they would feel afterward.总结实验结果：请求者低估帮助者意愿和感受，后文However, only four out of 100 people refused to take the photo, and those who did take one said they felt relatively good about doing this helpful act for a stranger.以拍照实验具体数据反驳。选项G. For example, askers expected strangers to feel inconvenienced by a request to take a photo.（例如，提问者希望陌生人对拍照的要求感到不方便。）提供实例，说明请求者的错误预期（如担心不便），与实际数据形成对比。
39. D. Past research has shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s health.
空格处是第四段首句，后文解释帮助的益处（如a “helper’s high”帮助者快感和making a positive difference in other people’s lives健康效应）。选项D. Past research has shown that doing kind acts can boost people’s health.（过去的研究表明，做好事可以促进人们的健康。）引入科学背景，强化后文论述的权威性，且提升健康与减少压力直接呼应。
40. F. Experts say that if asking for help feels uncomfortable, it can be useful to practice.
前文The study’s results suggest, however, that people are usually happy to lend a hand.强调人们通常很乐意伸出援助之手，后文引用Zhao的话总结人们往往低估了别人的帮助意愿。选项F. Experts say that if asking for help feels uncomfortable, it can be useful to practice.（专家说，如果寻求帮助让你感到不舒服，练习是有用的。）给出行动建议，解决前文提到的askers’ fears functioned like “barriers”恐惧障碍，并呼应Zhao的安慰reassurance。

60. faster

set off是固定搭配，意思是燃放（鞭炮等）；使爆炸，符合句意。
