Working in behavioral science,I’ve been asked how adults,especially educators,helpstudents
who like to stick with easy work.My answer is to take action based on the sciencebehind desirable
difficulties,which reveals the root of the question,and to do that,knowingwhat it is exactly is
necessary.
When my daughter Amanda was young and still taking piano lessons, I’d half-listen upstairs
while shepracticed down below.Typically,she’d get pretty good at the opening measures of a new
piece.Buteventually she’d get to those she didn’t know as well.At that point,music became
noise,and Amanda wasstruggling along the way. Very soon,there would be silence.Then Amanda
would begin again at thebeginning—where the touch of her fingers generated music instead of
noise.In the part Amanda feltuncomfortable about,she met difficulty desirable for her.If Amanda
spent too much time repeating thesimple measures and not enough on what was obviously difficult
for her, I’d encourage her to get back to thehard part.
Why do kids need grown-ups to encourage them through what scientists call“desirable
difficulties” Students often misinterpret the feeling of“This is hard!” as “I must not be learning
much!”However,the truth is that strategies taking more effort, like testing yourself rather than just
rereading notes,produce greater long-term learning gains.Difficulty is desirable... but it’s not
always desired.Don’t assume that kids avoid effort because they’re lazy.Instead,they may be
misreading the feeling of effort as a signal that they’re failing to make progress.
Teach students to look at struggle in a sensible way by sharing stories of times you,too,felt
confusedand how insisting through difficulties helped you improve more than sticking to what you
already knew.And,when their practice sounds and looks truly awful,tell them the sound of struggle
is music to your ears.
24. Why does the author mention the story about Amanda
A.To prove a theory.B.To illustrate a concept.
C.To provide a solution.D.To introduce a phenomenon.
25. What would Amanda do when facing difficult sections of music
A.Turn to her mother for help.B.Practice them repeatedly.
C.Stop to return to the easy part.D.Struggle to complete them.
26. What is students’common misunderstanding
A.It is hard to make long-term gains.B.Adults don’t understand their struggle.
C.Effortful strategies are ineffective.D.Making progress is a must in learning.
27. How can educators help students deal with difficulty
A.By simplifying the tasks for them.B.By sharing stories of sticking to goals.
C.By accepting their poor performance.D.By leading them to adopt a right attitude.
C
Researchers found that they couldaccurately predict how close two peoplewere based only on
their brain activity inresponse to a series of unfamiliar videoclips.Simply put: You and your
bestfriends really do think alike. Accordingto a Dartmouth study finding,friendshave similar
neural (神经的) responses to real-world stimuli (刺激) and these similarities can beused to predict
who your friends are. Thestudy reveals that friends have the mostsimilar neural activity patterns,
followed byfriends-of-friends who, in turn, have moresimilar neural activity than people
threedegrees removed (friends-of-friends-of-friends).
Published in Nature Communications, the study is the first of its kind to examinethe
connections between the neural reactionof people within a real-world social network.“Neural
responses to dynamic, naturalisticstimuli, like videos, can give us a windowinto people’s unlimited,
unplanned thought processes as they unfold. Ourresults suggest that friends process theworld around
them in exceptionally similarways,”says lead author Carolyn Parkinson.
The study analyzed the friendships orsocial ties within a group of 280 graduatestudents. The
researchers estimated thesocial distance between pairs of individualsbased on mutually (相互地)
reported social ties.Forty-two of the students were asked towatch a range of videos while their
neuralactivity was recorded in a functionalmagnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)scanner. The videos
covered a rangeof topics and genres, including politics,science, comedy and music videos,
forwhich a range of responses was expected. Each participant watched the samevideos in the same
order, with the sameinstructions. The researchers then compared the neural responses pairwise
across the setof students to determine if pairs of studentswho were friends had more similar
brainactivity than pairs further removed fromeach other in their social network.
The findings revealed that neuralresponse similarity was strongest amongfriends, and this
pattern appeared across brain regions involvedin emotional respondingand high-level reasoning.
Evenwhen the researchers controlled variables,including left-handednessor right-handedness, age,
gender, race, andnationality, the analogy in neural activityamong friends was still evident. The
teamalso found that fMRI response similaritiescould be used to predict not only if a pairwere
friends but also the social distancebetween the two.
28. How did the researchers judge the relationship between twopeople
A.By asking them to complete aquestionnaire.
B. By observing their interactionson casual occasions.
C.By analyzing their brains’reaction to videos.
D. By comparing their valuationsof the same visual material.
29. What can we know about thestudy mentioned in the text
A. It has yet to win recognitionfrom the academic world.
B. It involved more than 200students watching various videos.
C.It required a professionaldevice to analyze participants’conversation.
D.It is original and checkspeople’s neural responses.
30. What does paragraph3 mainlytalk about
A.The conclusion of the study. B.The process ofthe study.
C.The working principle of anfMRI. D. The challenges of theresearchers.
31. What does the underlinedword“analogy”in the lastparagraph mean
A.Similarity. B. Intensity. C.Abnormality. D. Benefit.
D
With fundamental developments in the field of technology,some experts foresee serious risks
to jobsand employability in the coming years due to the rise of artificialintelligence(AI).About27%
ofjobs are at high risk of automation during the artificial intelligence era (时代).
Low-and middle-skilled jobs are most at risk,including
construction,farming,fishing,forestryand,to a lesser extent,production and transportation.
High-skilled occupations,despite being more exposed torecent progress in AI,face the least risk of
automation.
While the adoption of AI is still relatively low,rapid progress,falling technology costs and
theincreasing availability of workers with AI skills suggest that the world may be on the edge of
an AI revolution(革命).So far there is little evidence of a negative employment impact on firms
that adopt AI.Workers and employers say that AI can reduce boring and dangerous tasks,leading to
greater employeeengagement and physical safety.
Nevertheless,a recent survey showed that three in five workers are worried about losing their
jobs to AIwithin the next decade. Additionally,a similar number of workers worry that wages
would decrease due toAI. More than half of workers are concerned about privacy and three in four
say that AI has increased workpace.
In my opinion,for the better protection of the labour market and workers in the coming
years,governments should encourage employers to provide more training,integrate AI skills into
education andsupport diversity in the AI workforce. There is an urgent need for policy action to
address AI risks in theworkplace and to ensure responsibility for and openness to
employment-related decisions supported by AI. The recent speedup of generative AI-related
developments and tools marks a technological watershed(转折点)with material implications in
many workplaces.Longer-term policy frameworks for the use of AI in theworkplace should be
considered and closer international cooperation should be seen to maximize the benefitswhile
appropriately managing the risks.
32. Who may be most affected by automation
A. A tour guide. B.A building worker.
C.A coffee producer. D.A farming professional.
33.What is the author’s attitude towards the adoption of AI in the workplace
A. Deeply concerned. B.Strongly opposed.
C.Carefully optimistic. D. Relatively conservative.
34.What do the figures in paragraph4 imply
A.Harmed personal privacy. B.Decreased job satisfaction.
C.AI-related positions’popularity. D.Workers’broad concern over AI.
35.What is the author’s advice in the last paragraph
A.Adopting policies to regulate AI’s impact.B.Limiting AI’s application in the workplace.
C.Promoting cooperation between AI firms.D.Investing more in AI education in colleges.

mountains. 40 Hours spent on the computer may be perceived as stressful but the stressors
can be seen asmore bearable if on this day one can look forward to a walk in nature.Just go outside
and nature neverdisappoints.

andBarton had a different plan.They started the challenging journeyof seeking part-time jobs.
Their firstattempt was at a local restaurant.Filled with hope,they stood before the manager with an

young!”Their hearts sankinstantly.Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment,thinking,“How
can we prove ourselves if no onegives us a chance ” Barton’s face fell as he asked his
brother,“Will we ever find a job ”
Not discouraged by the rejection,they then went to a store named Thompson’s
Grocery,hoping tobecome assistants.“Hello,you must be Mr.Thompson. We’re here to apply for

“This job is too hard for you kids,”he said.“I need someone big and strong.”“Let us give it
atry,and ifyou don’t like our work,don’t pay us,”Cameron begged.He stared at the brothers,who
were sosincere,then nodding.Next,he led them to the warehouse (仓库)of the store.The floor was
piled withboxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random,filling every corner. The

M: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our programme Around the World. Some of the oldest
people in the world are said to live in Azerbaijan. The most famous of all was Shirali
Muslimov, who died on 2 September 1973 at the age of 168. But this has not been proven.
Jeanne Louise Calment was born in Arles, France on 21 February 1875, who lived to the age
of 122 years, 164 days. Calment holds the record for the oldest person ever. It is said that a diet
of wine and nearly one kilogram of chocolate every week contributed to her long life.
Another person who was once the oldest person in the world was Kamato Hongo. She was
born in 1887, in Japan, and died in 2003 at the age of 116. Kamato usually slept for two full
days at a time and then was awake for two full days. Her favorite things were sugar, steak and
green tea.
Joan Riudavets Moll was born on 15 December 1889 in Spain. Riudavets really wanted to be
a doctor but he became a shoemaker, working at home in the family business. He died in
March 2004 at the age of 114 years and 81 days after having a cold for a few days, without
being seriously ill. However, due to his really old age, he was unable to recover from such a
small illness.

本文是一篇议论文。作者通过女儿 Amanda 练习钢琴的经历，探讨了“必要难度”这一
科学概念，并解释了为什么成年人需要鼓励孩子面对困难。
24. B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“My answer is to take action based on the science behind
desirable difficulties... to do that, knowing what it is exactly is necessary.”可知，第一段引出
“必要难度”这一概念，且作者提到了解“必要难度”是必要的。再结合对 Amanda 练
习钢琴的经历的描述及第二段的“In the part Amanda felt uncomfortable about, she met
difficulty desirable for her.”可知，作者通过这个故事来解释什么是“必要难度”。故选 B。
25. C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But eventually she’d get to those she didn’t know as well...
Very soon, there would be silence. Then Amanda would begin again at the beginning”可知,
当 Amanda 遇到她不熟悉的小节时，音乐变成了噪声，她会努力一会儿，但很快，房间
里会变得安静，然后她会重新从开头开始，即 Amanda 会停止弹奏困难的部分，再次回
到她熟悉的简单部分。故选 C。
26. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Students often misinterpret the feeling of‘This is hard!’ as
‘I must not be learning much!’”“they may be misreading the feeling of effort as a signal that
they’re failing to make progress”可知，学生常常把“很难”误解为“我学不到多少东西”，
他们可能误解了努力的感觉，将其视为他们没有进步的信号。由此可推断，学生们会把
费功夫的策略视为无效。故选 C。
27. D 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Teach students to look at struggle in a sensible way by
sharing stories of ... how insisting through difficulties helped you improve”可知，教育者可
以通过分享自己克服困难的经历，帮助学生以正确的态度看待困难。故选 D。
C
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项实验表明两个人大脑神经反应的相似度可以反
映出他们关系的亲密度。
28. C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句可知，研究人员发现，仅仅根据两个人在观看一系列
不熟悉的视频片段时的大脑活动，他们就可以准确地预测两个人的关系。由此可知，研
究人员判断两个人关系的方式是通过让他们观看视频片段。故选 C。
29. D 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“the study is the first of its kind”可知，该研究是
原创性的；根据同一句中的“examine the connections between the neural reaction of people”
可知，该研究查看的是人的神经反应。故选 D。
30. B 段落大意题。本段提到，研究人员先分析了 280 名学生，随后选择 42 名观看视频，
同时记录他们的神经活动，最后对他们的神经反应进行两两比较，以确定朋友之间的大
脑活动是否比在社交网络中疏远的学生更相似。由此可知，该段是按照时间与逻辑顺序
展开，讲述了该项研究的过程。故选 B。
31. A 词义猜测题。本段第一句提到，研究结果表明朋友之间的神经反应相似性最强，第二
句提到，即使研究人员控制了一系列变量，朋友之间神经活动在画线词所表示方面仍然
很明显。由此可知，画线词应该指的就是朋友之间神经反应的“相似性”。故选 A。
D
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了人工智能（AI）对就业的影响及应对措施。
32. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Low-and middle-skilled jobs are most at risk, including
construction, farming, fishing, forestry”可知，低到中等技能的工作面临的风险最大，包括
建筑、农业、渔业和林业。由此可判断建筑工人受人工智能的影响最大。故选 B。
33. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“So far there is little evidence of a negative employment
impact... can reduce boring and dangerous tasks”及最后一段中的“for the better protection of
the labour market and workers... encourage employers to provide more training... need for
policy action”可知，作者对人工智能持谨慎乐观的态度，既看到了其优势，也意识到需
要采取措施来应对其带来的挑战。A“非常担忧”；B“强烈反对”；C“谨慎乐观”；
D“相对保守”。故选 C。
34. D 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“three in five workers are worried... a similar number of
workers worry... More than half of workers are concerned... three in four say... work pace.”可
知，本段中的数据主要展示了工人们对人工智能影响的广泛担忧，包括失业、工资下降、
隐私问题和工作节奏加快等。故选 D。
35. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“governments should encourage employers to provide
more training, integrate AI skills into education... urgent need for policy action to address AI
risks... Longer-term policy frameworks... managing the risks”可知，作者建议制定政策来调
控人工智能对就业的影响，包括把人工智能技能纳入教育体系、采取政策行动应对工作
场所中的人工智能风险、考虑人工智能在工作场所使用的长期政策框架等。故选 A。
第二节
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了技术压力这一现象，以及如何通过一些策略来应对
技术压力。
36. E 空前通过三个并列问句描述技术影响人们的场景，包括邮件和社交媒体通知、新软件
的学习以及科技导致的家庭和工作生活界限的模糊，空后提到这个术语用来描述使用新
技术可能带来的负面心理影响。空处内容应是对三个场景的解释或拓展，且涉及一个术
语，使“The term”有所指。E 项“你可能正在经历一种被称为技术压力的现象。”概括
上述问题，且“technostress”与“The term”呼应。故选 E。
37. A 空前提到技术压力的几种子类别，包括技术过载、技术复杂性和技术入侵，故空处内
容应涉及这些子类别。对比选项可知，A 项“所有这些都会对健康产生显著影响。”中
的“All of them”可承接上文，指代“techno-overload, techno-complexity and techno-invasion”，
且能够引出第三段的内容，起到承上启下作用。故选 A。
38. B 空前提到技术压力可能导致人们感到沮丧或者疲乏，甚至患上抑郁症。有人可能会感
到身体紧张，导致头痛和背痛。空后提到这就是为什么处理技术压力对整体健康至关重
要。前后内容都与技术压力对健康的影响有关，所以空处也应围绕这一内容展开。B 项
“这不是一个医学问题，但可能导致疾病。”总结了空前的描述，并引出空后处理技术
压力的重要性。故选 B。
39. G 根据第三段最后一句以及第四、五段已给出的内容可知，最后两段主要介绍应对技术
压力的方法。空后提到认识心理健康挑战并采取措施应对它是一种力量和勇气的表现。
专家鼓励那些努力应付技术压力的人在工作场所采取措施。由此可知，本段强调对待技
术压力的态度，G 项“首先要做的是接受有技术压力是正常的。”符合语境。故选 G。
40. C 本段介绍应对技术压力的另一个方法——每天花些时间到户外去。空前提到没有什么
比在公园、小树林或群山中度过几个小时更有助于减轻压力了。故空处内容的重点应仍
与户外活动相关。C 项“这样的时间是大多数人可以利用的一种现有的资源。”承接上
文，“Such time”与空前的“a few hours spent in the park, the woods or the mountains”呼
应。故选 C。

第二节
本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了非虚构类作品的重要性，强调其与虚构小说同样具备创
造性和深度。
56.like 考查介词。图书馆里最受欢迎的书籍是那些像科幻小说和幻想作品类的有趣读物，
而非虚构类书籍则常常被认为是枯燥无味的。根据句意可知，此处表示“诸如”。故
填 like。
57.written 考查非谓语动词。此处是状语从句的省略。“write”与“nonfiction”之间是逻辑
上的动宾关系，应用其过去分词形式“written”。将从句补充完整为“if it is written well”。
故填 written。
58.criticism 考查词性转换。“创新”这个词在应用于非虚构作品时常受到很多批评，因为

空处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语。从句先行词是“thing”，被“the very”修饰，只
能用 that 引导。故填 that。

能赋予他们更多的力量，帮助他们更好地创造未来。根据句意和空前的“give them more
power”可知，此处有比较含义，应用比较级。故填 better。

Paragraph 1:
“It’s a tough job. Just do as much asyou can,”Mr.Thompson said.Indeed,the task seemed
sodemanding. Not longafter they started working,the heat anddust made them uncomfortable.
Cameron’sarms ached from moving heavy boxes,andBarton’s back was sore from bending
over.When they had to stop for a break,only asmall part was finished.Although thethought of
giving up crossed their minds,the brothers pushed it aside thinking abouthow hard their parents had been
working.The task took them over three hours, butthey finally made the warehouse clean andtidy.
Paragraph 2:
Cameron and Barton asked Mr.Thompson to come after they finished. Mr.Thompson’s eyes
widened seeing the oncechaotic space took on a completely newlook, where everything was in
order.Hehad not expected the brothers todo this job so well. Mr. Thompson handed them
theirwages,paying extra, and said,“You’veearned this. By the way, I could use somehelp over the
summer. I wonder if you’reinterested.”“We’d love to!”Cameron and Bartonreplied happily. Then
the brothers wenthome excitedly, eager to share theirsuccess with their parents.
