In the early 19th century, New England farmers, tired f wrestling with their pr land, jurneyed t the Midwest. In states like Illinis and Iwa, they fund rich, black sil. Unfrtunately, many sn felt like thirsty sailrs in the middle f the cean — water everywhere but nt a drp t drink. They were surrunded by fertile (肥沃的) sil, but had t stp every few secnds t remve the sticky dirt ff their irn plws (犁) with large wden paddles (浆板). This dilemma caught the attentin f Jhn Deere, a blacksmith wh mved t Illinis in 1836.
Deere decided t lk int the prblem. Frm his previus wrk n plws, he knew that dirt was less likely t stick t highly plished metal. That thught was in the back f his mind when he visited a sawmill (锯木厂) in 1837 and nticed a brken saw made f steel. Deere brught it hme and began making a better plw. The plw he wanted wuld have t cut deep int the sil at a sharp angle s that dirt wuld fall ff, yet it culd nt put t much burden n the hrses pulling it. After several experiments, Deere cnstructed a new plw that featured wd handles. It prved a success. Unlike the ld irn plws, Deere’s nt nly had a blade (刀片) frm which dirt fell away cleanly, but it als turned the sil mre efficiently and quickly.
Demand fr Deere’s plws increased sharply, but prductin was limited by the shrtage f plished steel. Initially, Deere culd nly prduce a few plws each year. Hwever, Deere’s persistence paid ff as he surced cheaper steel frm Pittsburgh. Amazingly, in 1857, his cmpany manufactured and sld 10,000 plws!
Deere, a perfectinist, cntinually imprved his plws, intrducing multiple new versins in a single year. While this slwed dwn his prductin ability, it ensured Deere a slid reputatin amng his custmers. Deere’s plws became wrld famus in the 1870s when they utshne the cmpetitin in a demnstratin in France. That same decade, his cmpany built its first riding plw and designed the leaping deer as its trademark.
4. What was the main prblem the newly settled farmers met in Midwest?
A. A shrtage f fresh water.
B. A lack f rich farming land.
C. The difficulty in wrestling with their pr land.
D. The truble in handling the sil n plws.
5. What’s Deere’s new plw like?
A. It is made frm wd.B. It is nn-stick.
C. It is heavy.D. It is sharp.
6. Which wrds can be used t describe Deere?
A. Generus and ambitius.B. Cmpetent and cperative.
C. Passinate and perfect.D. Persistent and reliable.
7. The last paragraph is mainly abut Deere plws’ ________.
A. wide recgnitinB. marketing strategy
C. wrking efficiencyD. prductin challenges
C
Have yu ever wndered abut the universal layut (布局) f supermarkets? Smart designers are behind it, subtly tempting yu t walk thrugh each aisle and fill yur cart withut even realizing it.
Grcery stre design is a carefully crafted art frm bth psychlgical and marketing standpints, accrding t Reeves Cnnelly, wh studied architectural design at the Pratt Institute. He explained there is a specific reasn why fruit and vegetables are ften lcated at the frnt f the stre, “Yu’ll grab the fruits and vegetables first and then hpefully feel less guilty abut buying junk fd later n.” Meanwhile, essential items such as milk and eggs are placed at the back f the stre t ensure custmers walk thrugh ther aisles with many unhealthy ptins like snacks and sdas, ptentially increasing the likelihd f impulse purchases.
There’s als a reasn why yu ften feel lst in lcal supermarkets. Shckingly, they mve things arund. Reeves explained, “They are very much aware that these strategies becme less effective after yu visit the stre a few times and get a better sense f where everything is, s they’ll regularly mve the prducts t different aisles t cnfuse yu. The practice is nt limited t a specific stre but is emplyed acrss varius retail chains.”
“Their little tricks always wrk n me,” ne regular shpper admits, “I walk in t get three things and end up spending $300; that’s why I hate grcery shpping,” he said. On the ther hand, sme shppers are prud t declare they have never fallen int the trap. “That’s why I always keep a shpping list n me,” anther shpper shared. “I’ve started having my grceries delivered. If I have t g t the stre, I never grab a cart. If I can’t carry it, I’m nt buying it,” he added.
8. What is the purpse f the supermarket layut?
A. T encurage healthy lifestyle.B. T save cnsumers’ shpping time.
C. T prvide multiple gds fr chice.D. T prmte nn-essential cnsumptin.
9. What des the underlined wrd “practice” in paragraph 3 refer t?
A. Distributing junk fd in different areas.
B. Putting milk and eggs at the back f aisles.
C. Rearranging prducts in supermarkets regularly.
D. Placing fruit and vegetables at the frnt f the stre.
10. What can be inferred frm the last paragraph?
A. Shpping baskets are better than heavy carts.
B. Mst shppers are trapped in marketing tricks.
C. Grcery delivery can help imprve supermarket sales.
D. Taking a shpping list can be a smart mve t avid impulse buying.
11 Where is this text mst likely frm?
A. A business magazine.B. A psychlgy reprt.
C. A research paper.D. A shpping guidebk.

If yu had t use ne wrd t define yurself, what wuld it be? Imagine trying t summarize yur entire being in just ne wrd r tw — a challenging task indeed. Labels, like “cnfident” r “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth f a persn’s character.
Labels take n an “all-r-nthing” meaning. Smene either is smething, r they’re nt. The biggest prblem with labeling peple is that it versimplifies their cmplex nature. Using labels infers peple’s current behavir is fixed, but peple change. As they learn, they grw, and smene we think f in a certain way tday might nt remain the same in a few mnths r years. When we label peple, we deny their cmplexity, their right t change, and their richness as human beings.
Furthermre, labels can becme self-fulfilling prphecies (预言). When peple are cnstantly tld they are a certain way, they may start t remember these labels and act accrdingly. This hinders their ptential fr grwth and develpment, as they may feel trapped by scial expectatins. Fr example, if parents label a child as “annying” r “a cmplainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t imprtant. Over time, being ignred fr cmplaining t much can lead the child t believe that expressing their needs is nt acceptable. Cnsequently, their self-perceptin (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start t devalue themselves as a result.
Linguist Benjamin Whrf nce argued that the wrds we use t describe what we see are rarely bjective, as they carry persnally prejudice. Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals t a single characteristic r steretype (刻板印象). Therefre, we shuld be mindful f the language we use and the labels we attach t peple. By adpting a mre pen view f life, peple, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity f human experience, and cpe with the cmplexities f ur intercnnected wrld.
12 What is the biggest prblem with labeling peple?
A. It expresses a subjective pinin.B. It denies the cmplexity f humans.
C. It verstates peple’s shrtcmings.D. It ignres gdness in human nature.
13. What des the underlined wrd “hinders” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Expses.B. Cultivates.C. Restricts.D. Determines.
14. What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A. T present the bad effects f labeling n peple.
B. T shw the imprtance f using language skillfully.
C. T prve peple’s natural tendency fr being prejudiced.
D. T encurage peple t take an pen-minded perspective.
15. Which f the fllwing is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Stp Labeling Peple
B. Define Yurself Objectively
C. Children Suffer a Lt frm Labels
D. Different Individuals Diversify the Wrld

In the early 19th century, New England farmers, tired f wrestling with their pr land, jurneyed t the Midwest. In states like Illinis and Iwa, they fund rich, black sil. Unfrtunately, many sn felt like thirsty sailrs in the middle f the cean — water everywhere but nt a drp t drink. They were surrunded by fertile (肥沃的) sil, but had t stp every few secnds t remve the sticky dirt ff their irn plws (犁) with large wden paddles (浆板). This dilemma caught the attentin f Jhn Deere, a blacksmith wh mved t Illinis in 1836.
Deere decided t lk int the prblem. Frm his previus wrk n plws, he knew that dirt was less likely t stick t highly plished metal. That thught was in the back f his mind when he visited a sawmill (锯木厂) in 1837 and nticed a brken saw made f steel. Deere brught it hme and began making a better plw. The plw he wanted wuld have t cut deep int the sil at a sharp angle s that dirt wuld fall ff, yet it culd nt put t much burden n the hrses pulling it. After several experiments, Deere cnstructed a new plw that featured wd handles. It prved a success. Unlike the ld irn plws, Deere’s nt nly had a blade (刀片) frm which dirt fell away cleanly, but it als turned the sil mre efficiently and quickly.
Demand fr Deere’s plws increased sharply, but prductin was limited by the shrtage f plished steel. Initially, Deere culd nly prduce a few plws each year. Hwever, Deere’s persistence paid ff as he surced cheaper steel frm Pittsburgh. Amazingly, in 1857, his cmpany manufactured and sld 10,000 plws!
Deere, a perfectinist, cntinually imprved his plws, intrducing multiple new versins in a single year. While this slwed dwn his prductin ability, it ensured Deere a slid reputatin amng his custmers. Deere’s plws became wrld famus in the 1870s when they utshne the cmpetitin in a demnstratin in France. That same decade, his cmpany built its first riding plw and designed the leaping deer as its trademark.
4. What was the main prblem the newly settled farmers met in Midwest?
A. A shrtage f fresh water.
B. A lack f rich farming land.
C. The difficulty in wrestling with their pr land.
D. The truble in handling the sil n plws.
5. What’s Deere’s new plw like?
A. It is made frm wd.B. It is nn-stick.
C. It is heavy.D. It is sharp.
6. Which wrds can be used t describe Deere?
A. Generus and ambitius.B. Cmpetent and cperative.
C. Passinate and perfect.D. Persistent and reliable.
7. The last paragraph is mainly abut Deere plws’ ________.
A. wide recgnitinB. marketing strategy
C. wrking efficiencyD. prductin challenges
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. A

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Unlike the ld irn plws, Deere’s nt nly had a blade (刀片) frm which dirt fell away cleanly, but it als turned the sil mre efficiently and quickly.”（与旧的铁犁不同，迪尔的犁不仅有一把刀片，泥土可以干净地从上面掉下来，而且还可以更有效、更快地翻土。）可知，迪尔的新犁是不粘土的。故选B。

If yu had t use ne wrd t define yurself, what wuld it be? Imagine trying t summarize yur entire being in just ne wrd r tw — a challenging task indeed. Labels, like “cnfident” r “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth f a persn’s character.
Labels take n an “all-r-nthing” meaning. Smene either is smething, r they’re nt. The biggest prblem with labeling peple is that it versimplifies their cmplex nature. Using labels infers peple’s current behavir is fixed, but peple change. As they learn, they grw, and smene we think f in a certain way tday might nt remain the same in a few mnths r years. When we label peple, we deny their cmplexity, their right t change, and their richness as human beings.
Furthermre, labels can becme self-fulfilling prphecies (预言). When peple are cnstantly tld they are a certain way, they may start t remember these labels and act accrdingly. This hinders their ptential fr grwth and develpment, as they may feel trapped by scial expectatins. Fr example, if parents label a child as “annying” r “a cmplainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t imprtant. Over time, being ignred fr cmplaining t much can lead the child t believe that expressing their needs is nt acceptable. Cnsequently, their self-perceptin (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start t devalue themselves as a result.
Linguist Benjamin Whrf nce argued that the wrds we use t describe what we see are rarely bjective, as they carry persnally prejudice. Labels can be harmful because they can reduce individuals t a single characteristic r steretype (刻板印象). Therefre, we shuld be mindful f the language we use and the labels we attach t peple. By adpting a mre pen view f life, peple, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity f human experience, and cpe with the cmplexities f ur intercnnected wrld.
12. What is the biggest prblem with labeling peple?
A. It expresses a subjective pinin.B. It denies the cmplexity f humans.
C. It verstates peple’s shrtcmings.D. It ignres gdness in human nature.
13. What des the underlined wrd “hinders” in paragraph 3 prbably mean?
A. Expses.B. Cultivates.C. Restricts.D. Determines.
14. What des the authr intend t d in the last paragraph?
A. T present the bad effects f labeling n peple.
B. T shw the imprtance f using language skillfully.
C. T prve peple’s natural tendency fr being prejudiced.
D. T encurage peple t take an pen-minded perspective.
15. Which f the fllwing is the mst suitable title fr the text?
A. Stp Labeling Peple
B. Define Yurself Objectively
C. Children Suffer a Lt frm Labels
D. Different Individuals Diversify the Wrld
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是议论文。文章主要讲述给人们贴标签的害处，并且号召不要给人们贴标签。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The biggest prblem with labeling peple is that it versimplifies their cmplex nature. Using labels infers peple’s current behavir is fixed, but peple change. As they learn, they grw, and smene we think f in a certain way tday might nt remain the same in a few mnths r years. When we label peple, we deny their cmplexity, their right t change, and their richness as human beings. (给人贴标签最大的问题是过于简单化了他们复杂的本性。使用标签可以推断出人们当前的行为是固定的，但人们会改变。随着他们的学习，他们在成长，我们今天以某种方式想到的人可能在几个月或几年内不会保持原样。当我们给人贴上标签时，我们否认了他们作为人类的复杂性、改变的权利和丰富性。)”可知，给人贴标签最大的问题是它否认了人类的复杂性。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“This hinders their ptential fr grwth and develpment, as they may feel trapped by scial expectatins. Fr example, if parents label a child as “annying” r “a cmplainer”, the child may feel their needs aren’t imprtant. Over time, being ignred fr cmplaining t much can lead the child t believe that expressing their needs is nt acceptable. Cnsequently, their self-perceptin (自我认知) may suffer, and they may even start t devalue themselves as a result. (这hinders了他们的成长和发展潜力，因为他们可能会感到被社会期望所困。例如，如果父母给孩子贴上“烦人”或“爱抱怨”的标签，孩子可能会觉得他们的需求并不重要。随着时间的推移，因为抱怨太多而被忽视会让孩子相信表达自己的需求是不可接受的。因此，他们的自我认知可能会受到影响，甚至可能因此开始贬值。)”可知，这里解释给孩子贴标签会影响甚至阻碍孩子的发展，所以hinders的意思应该是“阻碍”，和选项C意思一致。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Therefre, we shuld be mindful f the language we use and the labels we attach t peple. By adpting a mre pen view f life, peple, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity f human experience, and cpe with the cmplexities f ur intercnnected wrld. (因此，我们应该注意我们使用的语言和我们贴在人们身上的标签。通过对生活、人和事件采取更开放的观点，我们可以欣赏人类经验的丰富性和多样性，并应对我们相互关联的世界的复杂性。)”可知，作者在最后一段打算鼓励人们持开放的观点，不要给人们贴标签。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“If yu had t use ne wrd t define yurself, what wuld it be? Imagine trying t summarize yur entire being in just ne wrd r tw — a challenging task indeed. Labels, like “cnfident” r “creative”, may suggest certain aspects, but they can never fully capture the richness and depth f a persn’s character.(如果你必须用一个词来定义自己，它会是什么？想象一下，试着用一两个词来概括你的整个存在——这确实是一项具有挑战性的任务。标签，如“自信”或“有创造力”，可能暗示某些方面，但它们永远无法完全捕捉到一个人性格的丰富性和深度。)”和最后一段“Therefre, we shuld be mindful f the language we use and the labels we attach t peple. By adpting a mre pen view f life, peple, and events, we can appreciate the richness and diversity f human experience, and cpe with the cmplexities f ur intercnnected wrld. (因此，我们应该注意我们使用的语言和我们贴在人们身上的标签。通过对生活、人和事件采取更开放的观点，我们可以欣赏人类经验的丰富性和多样性，并应对我们相互关联的世界的复杂性。)”可知，这篇文章主要讲述给人们贴标签的害处，并且号召不要给人们贴标签。故选A。

In fact, there are many benefits abut it.(但独处的时间其实是很健康的。事实上，它有很多好处)”可知，后文与本段构成转折，说明本句是在说明与独处有关不好的看法。故D选项“我们倾向于把渴望独处的人与孤独或反社会的人联系起来”符合语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
设空处为段首句，引领下文；根据后文“Yu culd try new things, research tpics that attract yu, acquire knwledge and even practice new methds f self-expressin. Yu can d these things with n need t wrry abut being bthered.(你可以尝试新事物，研究吸引你的话题，获取知识，甚至练习新的自我表达方法。你可以做这些事情而不必担心被打扰)”可知，本段主要说明了独处可以让你在不被打扰的情况下探索兴趣。故E选项“独处意味着有机会在不受打扰的情况下探索自己的兴趣”符合语境，故选E。
【18题详解】
根据上文“Alne time can prmte creativity.(独处的时间可以促进创造力)”以及后文“Many creative peple find they are at their best when they take a break frm their scial life.(许多有创造力的人发现，当他们从社交生活中休息时，他们处于最佳状态)”可知，本句承接上文，说明独处是如何促进创造力的。故G选项“当你一个人的时候，你可以自由地思考，让你的想象力飞翔，产生新的想法”符合语境，故选G。

【20题详解】
根据上文“Knwing these benefits, yu may wnder hw t find alne time in a wrld that seems t never sleep. One practical way is t mark ff time in yur calendar fr spending alne with yurself. It desn’t have t be lng. Any time that yu can spend alne with yurself t fcus, relax, create, r think deeply is better than n time.(知道了这些好处，你可能想知道如何在一个似乎从不睡觉的世界里找到独处的时间。一个实用的方法是在你的日历上划出时间和自己独处。不需要很长时间。任何时间，只要你能和自己独处，专注、放松、创造或深入思考，总比没有时间好)”以及后文“Turn ff yur cell phne. Dn’t use the Internet. Turn ff yur TV. Yu’ll be amazed at hw much mre yu can get dne when yu’re nt distracted.(关掉你的手机。不要使用互联网。关掉电视。你会惊讶地发现，当你不分心的时候，你可以做更多的事情)”可知，设置一个自己独处时间是个实用的方法，在这段时间里关闭让自己分心的东西；故C选项“当设置的时间到了，切断你与他人的联系”符合语境，the time指代上文“time in yur calendar fr spending alne with yurself”。故选C。
