The other day I was going through the airport at lbiza and getting my Spanish exit stamp- -a Brexit benefit or drawback depending on how you feel- -and the nice passport lady flicked through(浏览) my passport, seeking a rare empty page, and said: “Wow, you have a lot of stamps." Like a five-year-old, I practically glowed with pride.
Because I do have a lot of stamps. And sometimes I simply like to look at them. Right now, my passport is so full of stamps it is in danger of filling up. However, there is a fair chance that this won't happen- not because I have any intention of ceasing my travels, but because most countries are moving on from the era of physical stamps.In future our comings and goings will be monitored digitally- -and speedily.
This will, of course, be great for shortening airport queues, but it also means we will kiss goodbye to the romance of the exotic(奇异的) stamp, that reminder of the time we crossed from, say, Chile to Bolivia via the Andes and the salt plains. Or that first time we landed in the USA and got one of the simplest stamps of all. The border officer smiled as he stamped my passport and said:“Welcome to America."
In my decades of travel, I have acquired some seriously- -to my mind- -exotic and wonderful stamps:Armenia, Madagascar, Greenland. Some of the smallest countries demand entire pages of your passport- - looking at you, Cambodia.
Then there are the special stamps to truly remote destinations. My personal favourite is probably the one I got going into the Republic of Mount Athos in northern Greece. It was magnificently beautiful: the double-headed eagle of Byzantium, returned to life and impressed on my passport pages.
It was certainly more cheerful than the stamp I once got from the British embassy in Bangkok, which arranged for my return to the UK from Thailand after I really misbehaved. That stamp said “Impound(扣留) Passport on Arrival in London". And so they did.
Yet I miss that stamp too.
24. What does the author think of the shift from physical stamps to digital records?
A. Convenient but romance-reducing. B. Eco-friendly but culture- erasing.
C. Modern but artistically inferior. D. Cost-efficient but emotionally hurtful.
25. What does the underlined word“you" in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Readers. B. Pages. C. Cambodia. D. Stamps.
26. Why does the author mention the Bangkok stamp?
A. To exhibit the extent of his global travels.
B. To present a less positive travel experience.
C. To highlight his attachment to all his stamps.
D. To reflect on his misbehavior and its consequences.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. My Favorite Passport Stamps
B. The Beauty of Passport Stamps
C. Digital Progress: Passport Stamps at Risk
D. Passport Stamps: Bridging Borders and Cultures

Video games can spend hours intensely focused on leveling up一progressing to the next level of skill and challenge- in a virtual world, while their everyday troubles fade into the background. Called“flow”, this profoundly immersive state is familiar to artists, musicians and athletes, and has become a popular topic in the media. But video game scholar Braxton Soderman urges caution.
In his new book, Against Flow: Video Games and the Flowing Subject, Soderman aims to“create a little turbulence (湍流) in the smooth flow." Among his criticisms of flow in relation to video gaming is that it can be used to manipulate(操纵) players for profit and socially isolate them.
"Developers of video games and apps design their technologies specifically in order to produce these intense states of concentration, to addict people to these kinds of experiences," says Soderman. Money, of course, is the driving force behind most game design, not happiness.
Soderman has played video games almost his entire life, but as the father of two young children, he's careful to limit the types of games and amount of time his kids spend on video games.
As with flow, Soderman worries that the concepts of play are already being manipulated by capitalism.Business owners, he says, arc being encouraged to use play and creativity to establish“playgrounds of profit" instead of creating more open, inclusive environments that actually make people happier.
“Play is an activity that is really about creativity, exploring possibilities, and freedom," he says.“But it can be hijacked(操纵) and used in a wrong way”
The concept of play, like flow, is one that Soderman will challenge us all to step back and think about critically. Because, as he shows in Against Flow, getting lost in a video game for a while can be fun, as long as you don't end up swept away in a lonely current of someone else' s profit.
28. What's a key sign of video games being in a“flow" state?
A. Profound interest in arts and music.
B. Increased focus on everyday troubles.
C. Persistent engagement in online chatting.
D. Intense concentration on game progression.
29. What is the ultimate purpose of most game design?
A. To foster genuine happiness. B. To enhance social interactions.
C. To build up concentration skills. D. To profit from player involvement.
30. According to Soderman, what is a concern about“play"?
A. It's subject to capitalist influence.
B. It blocks creativity and possibilities.
C. I's unfavorable for game development.
D. It promotes addiction to virtual socializing.
31. What is the text most likely to be?
A. A review of recent video game research.
B. A report about game development practices.
C. An introduction to a newly published book.
D. An essay on the concepts of“flow”and“play".
D
There's a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That's where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you're doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn't), you're more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What's more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.
This bias(偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage.
In Australia, people who admitted to poaching thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms.
Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there's already a lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help.
Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people's natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to“go green to be seen", or to publicly buy eco-friendly products.
As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!
32. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect?
A. A student spends long hours surfing the Internet.
B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts.
C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places.
D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking.
33. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching?
A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread.
C. It is controversial. D. It is complex.
34. What do the underlined words“go green to be seen" in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Embrace green habits for better health.
B. Make green choices that others can perceive.
C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment.
D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores.
35. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems?
A. Downplay social norms. B. Highlight personal responsibilities.
C. Publicize sustainable practices. D. Encourage technological innovations.

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I watched my dad scowl(绷着脸) as he listened to the voice coming through the telephone receiver. I heard him say,“Yes, Miss Beisner," and“I understand what you're saying, Miss Beisner. I appreciate you sharing this information. We'll see what we can do about the situation. Thank you for calling. Goodbye."
Miss Beisner was my first-grade teacher, and I loved her. I thought she felt the same about me, but now I was beginning to wonder. The tone of Dad's voice, the redness in his cheeks, and his repeated clenching. And unclenching of fists made it pretty clear. This was not a warm and fuzzy good news-from-the-teacher call.
As I was deciding whether I should lock myself in my bedroom for the rest of my life or run away from home,Dad hung up the phone.“Jacquie, come here and sit down. We need to talk."
Uh-oh. When Dad said,“We need to talk," it meant he needed to talk, and I needed to listen.
I shuffled(拖着脚走) over to the well -worn brown chair in the corner of the living room, plopped down, and waited to hear the nature of my crime.
Dad told me that Miss Beisner thought I was bright but not working up to my ability. She said I had strong verbal skills but weak study habits. Translation: I never closed my mouth, and I seldom opened a book. Apparently,my failure to memorize the addition facts, or even attempt to, was more than she was willing to put up with. Hence,the telephone call.
Dad ended our one-way conversation with a verbal outline for his plan of attack. Bubbles, our Toy Manchester Terrier, was going to teach me math. Silently, I thought, No way is any dumb dog going to teach me how to add,not even our beloved Bubbles. Out loud, I said,“How?"
Dad summoned Bubbles from her bed near the stove and commanded her to sit. “Bubbles," Dad said,“how much is five plus three?" Bubbles let out eight loud, crisp barks.
I was incredulous(满腹狐疑的). I couldn't understand how a dog could add, and I was more than a little embarrassed by the fact that the family dog was smarter than me.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: After that, I threw myself into math with newfound determination.


Paragraph 2: One day, I asked Dad whether Bubbles really knew how to add.
