Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
“It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions,” said Sara Clemence in Bloomberg Businessweek. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat—small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water strongly to signal the huge whale, which turns out to be a mother with her weeks-old baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, emerges to blow mist in my face, then “lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy.” Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. “It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.”
San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to the coast of Baja California to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can “shake hands with a leatheryfin (鳍)” or even “plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek.” I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited in these protected waters. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale: “We see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.”
So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact: “More than once, after nosing around our boat, a young gray turns on its side so one dark, baseball-size eye is looking up at us.” Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these magnificent creatures turn violent when threatened—“or, say, when their babies are harmed.” That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. “I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand.” Though she’s “wiser and apparently more alert” than her child, “she still decides to trust us.”
36. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. The writer was on a whale-touching trip.
B. The writer’s boat went down with a huge wave.
C. The baby whale splashed water all over the writer.
D. The mother whale’s skin felt as hard as a boiled egg.
37. By “does so on its own terms” (in paragraph 2), the writer means whales in San Ignacio are ______.
A. mad with too many visitors B. ready for hands-on attention
C. restricted in swimming routes D. enclosed in their safety zones
38. Gray whales got the name of “devil fish” from their ______.
A. strange appearance B. inborn violence
C. surprisingly enormous size D. fierceness in danger
39. The writer’s implied purpose in the passage is to ______.
A. popularize the knowledge of whales B. show admiration for whales’ motherhood
C. share an experience of the sea voyage D. advocate harmony between man and nature
【答案】36. A 37. B 38. D 39. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇记叙文。San Ignacio是少数几个人们可以抚摸鲸鱼的地方之一，文章讲述了作者和孩子在San Ignacio 的一段和鲸鱼互动的海上之旅，展现了人与自然界的和谐共处。
【36题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat—small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. ”（我和孩子们驾驶着一艘18英尺长的船--船小到如果有灰鲸游过来，我们可以够到水里。）和第二段“San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. ”（San Ignacio是少数几个人们可以抚摸鲸鱼的地方之一）可知，作者和孩子正在San Ignacio进行一次接触鲸鱼的旅行。故选A。
【37题详解】

推理判断题。根据表格左部分，第三个表格中第一段中“Computers were supposed to make our lives simpler, but they’ve gotten so complicated that they are not worth the trouble. If this sounds familiar, we have great news for you. There is finally a computer that’s designed for simplicity and ease of use. It’s the WOW Computer, and it was designed with you in mind.(计算机本应使我们的生活更简单，但它们已经变得如此复杂，以至于不值得为它们费心。如果这听起来很熟悉，我们有好消息要告诉你。终于有了一款设计简单易用的电脑。这是WOW电脑，它是为你而设计的)”以及第三段中“Call now, and you’ll find out why tens of thousands of satisfied seniors are now enjoying their WOW Computers, emailing their grandchildren, and experiencing everything the Internet has to offer.(现在打电话，你会发现为什么成千上万的老年人现在正在享受他们的WOW电脑，给他们的孙子孙女发电子邮件，体验互联网所提供的一切)”可推知，作者最有可能的意思是WOW电脑是专为老年人量身定做的。故选C项。

【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据表格右部分，最下方表格“FREE：Automatic Software Updates(免费的软件自动更新)”可知，软件更新是免费的，所以A项错误。B项文中没有提及，所以错误。根据表格右部分NEW部分中“Intel® processor— lightning fast(英特尔®处理器-闪电般的速度)”可知，C项错误。再根据表格左部分，第三个表格中最后一段“Mention promotional code 117238 for introductory pricing.(在介绍价格时，请注明促销代码117238)”可知，有促销价格是它的一个卖点。故选D项。

In the film Inside Out, 11-year-old Riley’s emotions are personified as brightly colored internal figures that drive her behaviors. The same five emotions—anger, fear, disgust (憎恶), sadness, and joy—appear in every other character’s head as well, functioning in much the same way in each individual. In Western cultures, this is the case, argues psychologist Batja Mesquita in Between Us. Emotions in such contexts, she writes, are considered “MINE,” or “Mental, INside the person, and Essentialist,” the latter defined in the book as always having the same properties.
This conception of emotion is not universal, however. Emotions elsewhere, she argues, are thought of as “OURS”—“OUtside the person, Relational, and Situated.” Using this distinction, Mesquita sets about contrasting emotions in “the West,” where the individual is the top concern, with “the Rest,” where community is prioritized.
Mesquita describes amae as a central emotion in Japanese culture, where it builds interdependence by encouraging tolerance in parenting process. She describes hasham—which includes shame, embarrassment, and social respectability—as a fundamental emotion for Egyptian Bedouins (游牧人). Such observations provide a background for her to explore a range of issues, including childhood socialization, the nature of friendship, the role of language in shaping emotions, and cross-cultural communication in a globalized world.
Despite Mesquita’s emphasis on cross-cultural emotions, there is little discussion of whether the MINE-OURS dichotomy (二分法) accurately explains global cultural variation. Other scholars have noted, for example, that hunter-gatherer societies at the same time emphasize both individual self-government and social cooperation. And in an apparent contradiction to her earlier arguments, Mesquita herself ultimately concludes that Westerners have OURS emotions.
Taken as a whole, however, the book contributes much to the discussion of the origins of emotions, presenting a remarkable collection of cross-cultural studies intermixed with personal stories about foreign residents’ struggles to reunite diverse emotional and social worlds. In chapter 8, for example, Mesquita describes an incident where she—a Dutch native living in the United States—bumped into the famous American psychologist Hazel Markus at a conference Markus helped organize. Wishing to express understanding of Markus’s workload, Mesquita declared “You look a little tired.” The remark appeared to make Markus nervous and confused but was intended as an expression of sympathy—to sympathize in Dutch is to acknowledge suffering, not offer comfort as in the US.
The book’s take-home message is fundamental: There are no natural emotions, no inborn emotions, no universal emotions. Mesquita argues that emotions are “meaning making” and “a preparation for action” and that the idea of “emotions as inner states” is a Western construct. Instead, she suggests that emotions are a “dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.
43. In Between Us, Mesquita indicates that ______.
A. the Japanese build kids’ emotion of shame in parenting
B. MINE-OURS dichotomy is the very cause of cross-cultural emotions
C. emotions outside “the West” are considered community-centred
D. hunter-gatherers have both emotions of “OURS” and “MINE”
44. We can infer from the incident in paragraph 5 that ______.
A. the emotion of sympathy is to offer help in Dutch culture
B. foreign residents from different cultures usually unite as one
C. as Dutch Mesquita shows her personality of warmth and caring
D. cross-cultural emotional exchanges probably cause misunderstanding
45. What is Mesquita’s main argument about emotions in her book?
A. Family education hardly influences one’s emotions.
B. Sociocultural contexts largely contribute to emotions.
C. Western people’s emotions have no properties of OURS.
D. Internal factors play a vital role in shaping how we feel.
46. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. The cultural landscape of emotions B. The cultural origin of emotions
C. The cultural convention of emotions D. The cultural shock of emotions
【答案】43. C 44. D 45. B 46. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是篇说明文。文章通过对书籍“In Between Us”中关于情感的描述，介绍了作者——心理学家Mesquita对于情感的概念和产生原因的理解，体现了社会文化背景对情感的影响。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Using this distinction, Mesquita sets about contrasting emotions in “the West,” where the individual is the top concern, with “the Rest,” where community is prioritized.”（利用这一区别，Mesquita开始对比“西方”和“其他国家”的情感，“西方”的个人是最受关注的，“其他国家”的社区是优先考虑的。）可知，Mesquita表明了在“西方”之外的情感被认为是以社区为中心的。故选C。
【44题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Wishing to express understanding of Markus’s workload, Mesquita declared “You look a little tired.” The remark appeared to make Markus nervous and confused but was intended as an expression of sympathy--to sympathize in Dutch is to acknowledge suffering, not offer comfort as in the US.”（为了表达对Markus工作量的理解，Mesquita说:“你看起来有点累。”这句话似乎让Markus感到紧张和困惑，但这是一种同情的表达——在荷兰，同情是承认痛苦，而不是像在美国那样提供安慰。）可知，Mesquita的话引起了Markus的误解，说明跨文化的情感交流可能会造成彼此之间的误解。故选D。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“ she suggests that emotions are a “dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.”（她认为，情感是生活在特定文化背景下、特定历史时刻的人们共同创造的“舞蹈”。）可知，Mesquita在书中的主要观点是社会文化背景在很大程度上导致了情感的产生。故选B。
【46题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“Taken as a whole, however, the book contributes much to the discussion of the origins of emotions,”（然而，从整体上看，这本书对情感起源的讨论做出了很大贡献）和最后一段“ she suggests that emotions are a “dance” cocreated between people who live in a specific cultural context at a particular historical moment.”（她认为，情感是生活在特定文化背景下、特定历史时刻的人们共同创造的“舞蹈”。）并结合全文内容可知，文章主要是通过Mesquita在她的书中的观点讨论了情感的文化起源。故选B。

Robots that serve
Robots used to be found only in science fiction. In the 1960s, the animated (动画片的) space-age family the Jetsons had a robotic maid who could do household tasks. In the 2014 movie Big Hero 6, the robot Baymax could diagnose and heal illnesses instantly. ____47____ In the field of medicine, robot patients help train doctors and nurses by pretending they have a variety of health conditions. Now robots are finding a home in the food service industry.
The globally spread disease and resulting economic crisis have created a lack of restaurant workers. Since restaurants don’t have enough workers, the remaining staff must work harder. ____48____ Some businesspersons are lending a hand—a robotic hand—in the form of server robots. These robots are not exactly modeled after Rosey, the Jetsons’ robotic household servant, but they are pretty clever and very cute.
Server robots come in several different varieties. Many have a design that looks like a rolling cart. One model named Bella even has a cute cat-like face. Many are fairly short and shaped like R2D2 of Star Wars fame. They are designed to deliver dishes to customers in a restaurant. They are also just the right height for customers to easily reach them. ____49____ They can not only deliver delicious food to hungry customers, but also get back dirty dishes at the end of the meal.
____50____ Concerning the price, a server robot costs from a few thousand to several thousand dollars. And in 2021, a restaurant even rented one for as low as US$15 per day. Regarding safety, special sensors on the robots keep them from crashing into customers. Because there aren’t enough restaurant workers, filling positions with these robotic servers is a no-brainer. Don’t be surprised if you see one rolling up to your table soon.
A. Typically, their deliveries have to occur within 30 seconds.
B. Perhaps you’re wondering about issues such as the cost and safety factors.
C. In real life robots function in many manufacturing and household situations.
D. Regardless, customers face longer wait times, fewer menu choices and higher prices.
E. Server robots are planned to be given new functions, such as performing and holding conversations with customers.
F. Restaurant owners are finding server robots ideal for performing repetitive tasks, however many there are.

IV. Summary Writing
51. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.
Men may eat more in summer
Winter may be seen as the time to fill up with food, but in fact, sunny summer months are when men eat more calories—unlike women.
The effect seems to occur because sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone (激素), says Carmit Levy at Tel Aviv University in Israel. Levy and her colleagues noticed the effect in experiments in mice, in which male animals exposed to UV light (紫外线) ate more food.
To see if humans do the same, the team used data on about 3000 people who had filled in questionnaires as part of the Israeli government’s national health and nutrition survey. Between March and September, the men consumed about 17 per cent more calories per day than they did during the rest of the year, while the women’s food intake stayed about the same.
Human appetite is influenced by many complex systems, but a substance called ghrelin, a hormone produced in the body that stimulates appetite, seems to be the only hormone that directly stimulates eating. It was thought to be mainly produced by the stomach when empty. “It tells the brain to eat more,” says Caroline Gorvin at the University of Birmingham, UK.
Further investigation revealed that exposing male mice to UVB (紫外线 B 段波) radiation, which is present in sunlight, raised levels of ghrelin production by fat cells in their skin. This was blocked by the female sex hormone, which may explain why the effect wasn’t seen in the female mice or the women. Boosted ghrelin production was also seen in men’s skin samples that were exposed to UV light in the lab.
Skin hasn’t previously been thought to play a role in appetite, says Gorvin. The reason for the effect is unclear, but it may be an adaptive response to fuel greater physical activity in summer, says Levy.

【答案】During sunny summer months, males eat more, according to a government’s survey. Maybe sunlight makes the skin release an appetite-stimulating hormone, called ghrelin which could directly stimulates eating. Further investigation even found that ghrelin production increased sharply in male mice and men exposed to UVB radiation. Possibly, it is to adjust to greater physical activity in summer.
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了政府的调查显示和女性不同，男性在夏天会吃的更多。原因可能是因为阳光会导致皮肤释放一种叫做生长激素释放肽的荷尔蒙，能刺激胃口。并且，研究表明暴露于紫外线B 段波辐射的雄性小鼠和男性皮肤中的生长激素释放肽释放的激增。科研人员说这可能也是身体对夏天男性的身体活动需要摄取更多的食物所做出的适应性变化。
