As part of its series to prepare students for the future, Stanford University has invited Mike, a 2024 graduate, to share his views. Currently working as a development analyst at an affordable housing organization serving communities in California and Seattle, Mike brings his story to the table.
Growing up in affordable housing with his family, Mike felt the benefits of a stable living environment. But he saw other people — relatives and friends - who were constantly moving, living in overcrowded apartments, and even being priced out and having to move elsewhere. That made him realize housing is an important issue and drove him to be a part of addressing those challenges that cities face.
Since he started the job in February, Mike has cooperated with local governments to develop plans to construct and fund new affordable housing. His work involves understanding complex policies, researching partnerships and analyzing land suitability. “It is really interdisciplinary, as it connects policy, urban design, and social needs. Pm learning new things every day. Affordable housing is a way to make cities more sustainable, not just economically but also environmentally, by shortening journeys to work or building energy-efficient houses. It motivates me to know that this hard work will eventually result in people being housed, which has widespread effects in communities and families,” he notes.
Fortunately, the great courses taken in university have prepared him for his role. Everything from real estate law to real estate development and finance through the civil engineering department. “The courses are probably the most relevant to what I am doing now, helping me understand my own experience and think about how I want to channel that into a career,” he mentions.
For students interested in pursuing a similar path, Mike stresses taking project-based courses is helpful. He also urges students to apply to career-building programs due to more opportunities for guidance, work experience and networking with other people who may be their future colleagues.
24.What primarily inspired Mike to work on affordable housing
A. His college courses. B. His green values. C. His career ambition. D. His housing experience.
25.Which of the following words can best describe Mike's job
A. Demanding but rewarding. B. Routine but influential.
C. Independent and profitable. D. Specialized and eco-focused
26.What does Mike intend to do according to the last paragraph
A. To promote courses. B. To highlight challenges. C. To stimulate interest. D. To provide suggestions.
27.From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken
A. Campus Life. B. Career Insights. C. Social Issues. D. Academic Features.

Colorful songbirds known as honeycreepers were once common in Hawaii. However, these native creatures are now struggling to survive because of avian malaria, a deadly disease spread by invasive(侵袭的)mosquitoes. Of the more than 50 species that once lived throughout the islands, just 17remain today.
Now, scientists have come up with a clever plan to help the birds. They are using drones to drop thousands of lab-grown, non-biting male mosquitoes engineered to carry a type of bacteria called Wolbachia that acts as mosquito birth control. When these special males mate with wild females, the resulting eggs will not hatch, which should reduce the overall mosquito population and give the birds a much-needed break.
Since the “Birds. Not Mosquitoes” (BNM) project was started in 2023, over 40 million such mosquitoes have been released. Most of the mosquito drops have been made from helicopters. But recently, scientists began experimenting with eight-foot-long drones. A drone can’t carry as many mosquitoes as a helicopter can — just 23,000 compared to 250,000 — but it’s safer, because it doesn’t require any humans to be on board. Drones are also easier to arrange at a moment's notice, which isa major benefit in an area with often unpredictable weather.
The mosquitoes are being dropped inside small capsules. Each capsule contains roughly 1,000males, which are kept alive inside a temperature-controlled transport box attached to the drone. Once released, they “fall to the forest floor where they provide protection to the mosquitoes until they’re ready to fly away,” says Adam Knox, a drone pilot involved in the project. “The capsules then begin to break down once exposed to wind and rain.” he adds.
This technique, previously used against human diseases, marks its first wildlife-saving application. With climate change pushing mosquitoes to higher altitudes — the last shelter for honeycreepers, time is running out. Several of the remaining honeycreeper species are highly endangered. Some die after a single bite from an infected mosquito. Thus, curbing the mosquito population with methods like the BNM project may be the birds' only chance to survive.
28. What can be learnt about honeycreepers from paragraph 1
A. They spread avian malaria to mosquitoes. B. A mosquito-borne disease threatens them.
C. Thirty-three species of them have died out. D. They are losing habitats to native creatures.
29. What led to the shift to a new carrier in the project
A. Its success in previous similar projects. B. Its expanded carrying capacity and range.
C. Its superior operational safety and flexibility D. Its adaptability to various weather conditions.
30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about
A. How to protect mosquitoes from diseases. B. How to deliver the lab-grown mosquitoes.
C How to lessen the project’s impact on nature. D. How to control the temperature of containers.
31. What does the underlined word “curbing” in the last paragraph mean
A. Wiping out. B. Keeping track of. C. Coexisting with. D. Keeping under control.
D
Earth’s biggest problem, according to Douglas Adams, is quite simple: the species of clever ape (猿) that thinks it runs the joint is mostly unhappy most of the puter scientist Cal Newport now adds email to the list of life’s troubles. In his book A World Without Email, he argues this once-brilliant invention has made us suffer.
Newport says we’ve become slaves to email trapped in a “hyperactive hive mind”— the reality in which everyone, everywhere, can communicate with everyone else with ease. Studies have shown how dominant email has become in ordinary office life. The average knowledge worker sends and receives 126 emails daily, which ruins focus, making them less productive and more irritable(易怒的).
All of this might be bearable but for one problem: the mismatch between modern electronic messaging and our own information-processing capacity. Multitasking is a myth. We can’t think clearly while dealing with an overflowing inbox. We’re wired to prefer real-time conversations, where everyone gets updates together. Back in small tribes (部落), we needed daily chats to feel connected. Now, in a digital world, that ancient urge makes us anxious if we don’t reply to every email instantly.
Despite his book’s title, Newport isn’t against all electronic messaging. What drives him to desperation is how we use it. With office workers nodding in hearty agreement, Newport offers some solutions. A German company invented the No Email Day. Productivity went up, even though it shortened the work time. The goal was for everyone to approach their work more deliberately without rushing. Some companies use an application called Trello to allow workers to access the necessary data and decide when to jump in and get things done.
Handling email when it’s out of control is like being pecked (啄) by a flock of geese. But changing this won't be easy. Our need for focused thinking conflicts with the Dopamine Economy — something designed to keep us unable to resist constant messages. Still, Newport thinks regaining control of our time might be the key to being happier at work.
32. What phenomenon does Newport point out in his book
A. Office workers fail to handle daily emails. B. People can contact each other more easily.
C. Convenience of modern life comes at a cost D. Email overload affects efficiency and mood.
33. How does the author develop paragraph 3
A. By giving examples. B. By presenting the history. C. By analyzing the cause. D. By comparing preferences.
34. What does Newport try to illustrate by mentioning the practices of some companies
A. The importance of autonomy at work. B. The necessity to cut working hours.
C. The benefit of technological advances. D. The need to follow economic trend.
35. What might be a suitable title for the text
A. Message Overflow B. Email Slavery C Message Addiction D. Email Craze

Embracing the Magic of Print Media
As the digital revolution sweeps through our lives, the appeal of screens and the convenience of online content have quietly caused print media to lose its charm. Peeking into our library, we’ll see books gathering dust, like long-forgotten friends.
However, what print media offers turns out a unique reading experience. It encourages a slower and more reflective reading process, allowing readers to digest information more thoroughly. Moreover, it gives readers the feel of the pages, the ink smell, and the freedom to flip through pages at our own pace, which is an escape from the boredom of our everyday life and a deeper dive into knowledge.
Thus, I urge everyone to bring back the joy of turning pages! Together, we can foster a culture of curiosity and lifelong learning superior to digital screens.
七、阅读理解
B
本文是一篇人物专访,讲述了斯坦福大学毕业生迈克如何将自身在保障性住房中的成长经历,转化为投身该领域事业的职业驱动力。文章核心主题是:个人真实的生活经历是职业选择最本源的动力;复杂且有社会价值的工作本身能带来挑战与深层的成就感;大学教育提供了关键的实用技能准备;而分享切实可行的建议,则是职业传承的重要部分。
24 D细节理解题。文章第二段明确指出,Mike 成长于保障性住房中,但他目睹了亲友因住房问题而频繁搬迁、居住拥挤甚至被迫迁离的经历。这直接让他意识到住房问题的重要性,并驱使他投身于解决城市面临的此类挑战。因此,他的个人住房经历是主要动力。选项A (他的大学课程):课程是其胜任工作的准备和工具(第四段),属于“如何实现”的层面,而非“为何开始”的灵感源头。属于因果倒置。选项B (他的环保价值观):文中提到的环保效益(如节能建筑)是他在工作中认识到的保障性住房的附加价值和深层意义,并非其最初的、主要的灵感。属于次要信息干扰。选项C (他的职业抱负):表述过于宽泛抽象。文章强调的是由具体、鲜活经历所催生的解决特定社会问题的使命感,而非一个笼统的“抱负”。属于概念泛化。
25 A推理判断题。Demanding(要求高):根据第三段内容“His work involves understanding complex policies...I’m learning new things every day.”可知,他的工作需要理解复杂政策、研究合作伙伴关系、分析土地适宜性,且具有跨学科性质(涉及政策、城市设计、社会需求),每天都需要学习新东西,说明工作挑战大、要求高。Rewarding(有回报):根据第三段内容“It motivates me to know...in communities and families”可知,这项工作最终能让人们获得住房,对社区和家庭产生广泛影响,这让他充满动力。因此工作虽然 demanding,但意义深远、回报感强。选项B (常规但有影响力):“常规 (Routine)”与文中描述的“每天学习新东西”、“跨学科”的动态性与复杂性完全矛盾。属于关键词曲解。选项C (独立且利润丰厚):文中强调“与政府合作”、“研究伙伴关系”,暗示协作性,而非“独立”;全文聚焦社会效益,未提及个人或机构的“利润”。属于无中生有。选项D (专业且聚焦生态):“专业”描述片面,未涵盖“跨学科”核心特点;“聚焦生态”只是其工作带来的环境效益之一,远不能概括其涉及政策、设计、社会需求的多元内涵。属于以偏概全。
26题
【答案】答案D
【分析】推理判断题。最后一段中,Mike 针对有兴趣从事类似职业的学生提出了两条明确建议:一是选修项目制课程(project-based courses),二是申请职业发展项目(career-building programs)。因此,他的意图是提供具体建议。选项A (推广课程):提及课程是作为建议的一部分,其核心意图是给出全面的职业发展建议,而非单纯推广特定课程。属于目的偏差。选项B (强调挑战):最后一段内容积极务实,聚焦于“如何做”,并未强调工作中的困难或挑战。属于无中生有。选项C (激发兴趣):他的整个故事可能起到激发兴趣的作用,但最后一段的对话对象是“已经感兴趣的学生”,其意图非常具体,是提供“下一步该怎么做”的行动建议,而非泛泛地激发兴趣。属于对象与意图错位。
27 B推理判断题。全文以校友 Mike 的职业故事为主线,分享了他的职业动机、工作内容、所需技能以及给学生的职业建议,属于典型的职业经验分享或职业见解类文章。选项A (校园生活):文章虽提及大学课程,但主要场景和视角已完全转向职场,核心是职业生涯的构建与实践,而非校园内的学习与生活。属于场景局限。选项C (社会问题):保障性住房本身是社会议题,但文章的切入点和主体是个人如何围绕该议题构建和展开自己的职业生涯,是对一个职业路径的个案剖析,而非对社会问题的全面探讨或评论。属于主题重心偏差。选项D (学术特色):文章未深入讨论任何学术理论、研究方法或学科前沿,课程仅作为职业准备的实用工具被提及,不具备“学术特色”栏目的深度和焦点。属于体裁不符。
C
本文是一篇科技报道,介绍了夏威夷为拯救濒危的蜜旋木雀而实施的创新性保护项目。文章核心主题是:面对因气候变化和入侵蚊媒疾病而濒临灭绝的蜜旋木雀,科学家采用了基于沃尔巴克氏菌的生物防控技术,并通过从直升机转向无人机这一运载工具的革新,提升了项目执行的安全性与灵活性,以争分夺秒地为这些鸟类争取最后的生存机会。
28 B细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“these native creatures are now struggling to survive because of avian malaria, a deadly disease spread by invasive (侵袭的) mosquitoes”可知,honeycreepers生存受到威胁是因为一种名叫“avian malaria”的致命疾病,该疾病由入侵的蚊子传播。故答案为B。选项A (它们将禽类疟疾传播给蚊子):与原文信息完全相反。文中明确指出疾病是由蚊子传播给鸟类的(spread by invasive mosquitoes)。属于关系颠倒。选项C (已有33个物种灭绝):原文说“超过50个物种中仅存17个”,这意味着超过33个物种已灭绝,但“33个”是确切数字,而原文是“超过50”与“17”的模糊对比,且“died out”与“remain”的状态描述有细微差异。属于数据过度精确化/偷换概念。选项D (它们正将栖息地输给本地生物):文中未提及与其他“本地生物”的栖息地竞争。威胁源是“入侵的”蚊子,而非其他本地生物。属于无中生有。
29 C推理判断题。根据第三段“Most of the mosquito drops have been made from helicopters. But recently, scientists began experimenting with eight-foot-long drones.”可知,题干中的“the shift to a new carrier in the project”指的是从直升机转为无人机。根据“A drone can’t carry as many mosquitoes as a helicopter can – just 23,000 compared to 250,000 – but it’s safer, because it doesn’t require any humans to be on board.”可知,虽然无人机的载量不如直升机,但无人机因为不需要人在机上而更安全,体现安全性。根据“Drones are also easier to arrange at a moment’s notice, which is a major benefit in an area with often unpredictable weather.”可知无人机比较容易在短时间内迅速部署,这在天气变化无常的地区是一个显著优势,体现灵活性。故答案为C。选项A (在先前类似项目中的成功):文章最后一段仅提及该技术“曾用于对抗人类疾病”,并未说明无人机投放方式在之前的项目中已取得成功。属于无中生有。选项B (其提升的运载能力和范围):与原文事实相反。原文明确说明无人机“无法像直升机那样携带那么多蚊子(can’t carry as many mosquitoes as a helicopter)”。属于反向干扰。选项D (其对各种天气条件的适应性):原文仅提到无人机易于“在天气难以预测的地区”快速安排调度,这指的是应对天气变化的操作灵活性,而非无人机本身能适应所有恶劣天气。属于概念夸大。
30 B段落大意题。第四段第一句介绍实验室培育的蚊子被放置在胶囊内。第二句介绍胶囊的容量和功能。第三句和第四句介绍胶囊被从无人机释放以后的一系列变化和作用。因此,本段介绍如何通过胶囊释放实验室培育的蚊子。故答案为B。选项A (如何保护蚊子免于疾病):段落关注的是在运输和投放过程中保护蚊子(免受物理损伤或温度不适),使其能存活并执行任务,而非保护其免于“疾病”。属于偷换概念。选项C (如何减轻项目对自然的影响):胶囊可降解的设计客观上减少了对环境的影响,但这只是该投放方法的一个附带优点,并非段落主要说明的核心内容。段落核心是“投放方法”。属于次要信息干扰。选项D (如何控制容器的温度):控制运输箱温度是投放过程中的一个具体步骤和保障条件,是为“有效投放蚊子”这一主要目的服务的,不能概括整段主旨。属于以偏概全。
31 D词义猜测题。根据文章最后一句“curbing the mosquito population”可知划线词与“蚊子数量”是动宾关系;根据后文“with methods like the BNM project”的例子提示,结合本文的主题“通过实验室培育的蚊子,控制带病蚊子的数量,从而帮助首段提到的鸟类生存”,可知划线词的含义是“控制”,故答案为D。选项A (消灭):程度过重。BNM项目是生育控制,旨在减少数量,并未声称或旨在实现“彻底消灭”。且从生态学角度看,完全根除一个物种通常并非此类项目的目的。属于程度过度。选项B (追踪):与项目采取的直接“干预”措施不符。文章未提及对蚊子进行监测或追踪。属于行动偏差。选项C (与...共存):与文章意图完全相反。整个项目就是为了减少蚊子对鸟类的威胁,其目标不是“共存”,而是通过控制蚊子来保护鸟类。属于反向干扰。
D
本文属于“人与社会”主题语境下的“科技与生活”子语境,聚焦现代信息技术(邮件)对职场人群工作状态、情绪及生活质量的影响,探讨科技便利背后的代价与应对策略,引导读者思考科技与人类需求的平衡关系。文章围绕计算机科学家Cal Newport的著作《无邮件世界》展开,核心观点是:曾经极具价值的邮件已成为人们的负担,让人类沦为“邮件奴隶”。文章先引出Newport对邮件负面影响的观点,接着通过数据说明邮件在办公场景的主导地位及危害,随后分析邮件问题的根源,再介绍Newport认可的企业解决案例,最后指出改变现状的难度与核心意义。
32 D细节理解题。本题考查考生理解具体信息的能力。题目问Newport在书中指出了什么现象,短文第二段明确提出Newport认为邮件让人们沦为奴隶,且通过具体数据说明其危害——“普通知识工作者日均收发126封邮件,这会破坏专注力,导致工作效率降低、情绪更易怒”。选项A“办公室职员无法处理日常邮件”错误,原文未提及“无法处理”,仅强调邮件对状态的负面影响;选项B“人们联系更便捷”是邮件的客观特点,并非Newport想要强调的“问题现象”;选项C“现代生活的便利是有代价的”表述过于笼统,未精准定位“邮件过载”这一核心具体现象;只有选项D“邮件过载影响效率和情绪”与第二段关键信息完全对应,为正确答案。
33 C篇章结构题。本题考查考生分析段落写作手法的能力。题目问第三段的展开方式,该段以“现代电子信息与人类信息处理能力不匹配”为核心论点,随后层层剖析原因:首先指出“多任务处理是误区,我们在处理爆满的收件箱时无法清晰思考”,解释了能力不匹配的直接影响;再结合人类原始需求(原始部落时期需日常交流获得联结感),分析了“即时回复邮件焦虑”的深层根源。整个段落围绕“邮件问题产生的原因”展开,逻辑为“提出核心矛盾—分析直接原因—剖析深层根源”。选项A“举例子”错误,本段无具体案例支撑;选项B“呈现历史”错误,“原始部落”的内容是辅助分析根源的背景,并非核心写作手法;选项D“对比偏好”错误,“实时交流偏好”是分析原因的一个环节,并非主要展开方式;只有选项C“分析原因”符合段落逻辑,为正确答案。
34 A推理判断题。本题考查考生理解细节、推断逻辑意图的能力。题目问Newport提到部分公司的做法是为了说明什么,短文第四段明确Newport并非反对所有电子信息,而是反对当前的使用方式,随后列举两个企业案例:德国公司的“无邮件日”让员工“更从容地处理工作,而非匆忙赶工”;Trello应用让员工“自主获取必要数据,决定何时参与工作、完成任务”。两个案例的核心共性是赋予员工工作自主性,进而提升工作质量与效率。选项B“缩短工作时间的必要性”错误,“无邮件日”虽缩短了工作时间,但这是手段而非目的,核心是提升工作专注度;选项C“技术进步的好处”错误,Trello应用只是工具载体,重点是通过工具实现自主工作,而非强调技术本身的优势;选项D“追随经济趋势的必要性”错误,原文提及的“多巴胺经济”是负面表述,且与企业案例无关联;只有选项A“工作自主性的重要性”精准契合案例核心意图,为正确答案。
35 B主旨要义题。本题考查归纳文章主旨的能力。题目要求选择合适的标题,全文围绕Newport的核心观点“邮件让人类沦为奴隶”展开,从现象(邮件过载的危害)、原因(能力不匹配)、解决方案(企业自主工作案例)到意义(掌控时间提升幸福感),均紧扣“邮件对人类的束缚”这一核心。选项A“信息过载”错误,范围过于宽泛,且停留在现象表层,未体现其影响;选项C“信息成瘾”错误,原文未强调“成瘾”的主观依赖,而是“被迫被邮件困扰”的客观束缚;选项D“邮件狂热”错误,“狂热”侧重主观上的痴迷与追捧,与原文“邮件成为负担、人类被动应对”的基调不符;只有选项B“邮件奴隶”直接对应第二段核心句“we’ve become slaves to email”,精准概括全文主旨,为正确答案。
