This childhd experience had gnawed (折磨) at the back f her mind, pushing her t d smething t ease the lives f fellw left-handers. In September 2018, she started The Left Out Stre, which makes everyday prducts ranging frm left-handed writing tls and scissrs t kitchen tls fr left-handed peple.
Starting The Left Out Stre wasn’t in the cards fr Maitri fr a very lng time. The idea fr The Left Out Stre came t Maitri in just 20 minutes during a festival at St. Jseph’s Institute f Management, where she was a pst-graduate student. She presented the rugh idea t judges wh later became spnsrs, and they enthusiastically supprted it. This encuragement gave her the push t make it a market research prject t test the waters and explre the ptential market.
Initially, Maitri faced a few hiccups. It tk her quite sme time t find vendrs (小贩) and make them understand hw t make the prducts. With everything in place, Maitri went thrugh a tugh time reaching custmers. The first time she made a prper sale was at an exhibitin at Lalit Ashk. “Peple were surprised at first, but gradually mre left-handed peple began appraching me, and said they relate t my struggles.” Since then, she has been regularly marketing her prducts at exhibitins, and keeps The Left Out Stre active n scial media.

We’ve all dne it befre-drpped a bx f unwanted husehld belngings at a flea market and driven ff with a sense f accmplishment. But have yu ever stpped t think abut where thse items actually g?
Business jurnalist Adam Minter began cnsidering this while cleaning ut his late mther’s hme. Seeking reassurance that his mther’s dnated items wuld be put t gd use rather than destryed, he started a jurney wrldwide that resulted in his latest bk, “Secndhand: Travels in the New Glbal Garage Sale”. He fund the industry significantly in the dark, with a disturbing lack f data n secndhand gds, despite their crucial rle in clthing, furnishing and educating peple wrldwide.
In this bk, Minter fully reveals himself as an investigative jurnalist. He desn’t shy away frm the cmmnly-accepted assumptins abut the glbal trade in used gds. First, Minter questins the idea that shipments f secndhand clthes frm develped cuntries t Africa have destryed lcal textile industries (纺织业). That’s verly simplistic, he says. He further explains that multiple factrs, such as declining cttn prductin in lcal areas and ecnmic liberatin, have influenced the situatin.
Minter then explres the tpic f car seats, making a statement that recycling car seats, instead f selling them secndhand, is wasteful and might cmprmise (危害) safety fr children in develping cuntries. It is disturbing t say s in a sciety that priritizes child safety and highlights zer risk, but when yu cnsider the excessive cautin that might endanger children’s lives elsewhere, the situatin starts t lk different.
Minter calls it “waste clnialism,” this idea that develped cuntries can apply their wn safety standards nt the markets f develping cuntries—and it’s deeply wrng. Why label an used car seat r an ld TV as unsafe if smene else, with different skills, is perfectly capable f repairing it and willing t use it, especially if they lack access t new prducts and ther ptins?
The bk explres the huge prblems f handling surplus (剩余的) items and hw prducers discurage repairs and prmte the sales f new prducts. Minter calls fr initiatives t enhance prduct repairability and increase prduct lifetime.
8. Why des Minter set ut n a jurney wrldwide?
A. T remember his late mther.B. T explre where used items end up.
C. T cllect data fr fashin industries.D. T advcate recycling f used gds.
9. In Minter’s pinin, the cmmn idea abut secndhand clthes trade in Africa is ________.
A. grundlessB. ne-sidedC. cnventinalD. self-cntradictry
10. Which actin taken by develped cuntries might Minter describe as “waste clnialism”?
A. Selling ld TV sets t develping cuntries.
B. Denying access t used car seats dmestically.
C. Banning used gds exprt t develping cuntries.
D. Priritizing safety in new gds fr develping cuntries.
11. What des Minter encurage prducers t d in his bk?
A. Handle used items efficiently.B. Prmte sales f new prducts.
C. Make mre sustainable prducts.D. Take the initiative t bst prductin.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了商业记者亚当·明特的新书《二手：新全球车库拍卖之旅》，这本书探讨了二手商品市场。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“But have yu ever stpped t think abut where thse items actually g?(但你有没有停下来想过这些东西到底去哪儿了?)”和第二段的“Business jurnalist Adam Minter began cnsidering this while cleaning ut his late mther’s hme. Seeking reassurance that his mther’s dnated items wuld be put t gd use rather than destryed, he started a jurney wrldwide. (商业记者亚当·明特(Adam Minter)在清理已故母亲的房屋时开始考虑这个问题。为了确保母亲捐赠的物品会得到妥善利用，而不是被毁坏，他开始了一次环球旅行。)”可知，Minter环球旅行是为了弄清楚母亲捐赠的物品去了哪里，也就是探索二手物品的去处。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“First, Minter questins the idea that shipments f secndhand clthes frm develped cuntries t Africa have destryed lcal textile industries (纺织业). That’s verly simplistic, he says. He further explains that multiple factrs, such as declining cttn prductin in lcal areas and ecnmic liberatin, have influenced the situatin. (首先，Minter质疑从发达国家向非洲出口二手服装摧毁了当地纺织业的观点。他说，这过于简单化了。他进一步解释说，当地棉花产量下降和经济解放等多种因素影响了这种情况。)”可知，关于非洲二手服装贸易的普遍观念：向非洲出口的二手服装摧毁了当地的纺织业，Minter表示质疑，认为当地棉花产量下降和经济解放等多种因素也影响了这种情况，因此推断他认为这种普遍的观念是片面的。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的“Minter then explres the tpic f car seats, making a statement that recycling car seats, instead f selling them secndhand, is wasteful and might cmprmise (危害) safety fr children in develping cuntries. (Minter接着探讨了汽车座椅的话题，他表示，回收而不是出售二手汽车座椅是一种浪费，而且可能会损害发展中国家儿童的安全。)”和倒数第二段的“Minter calls it “waste clnialism,” this idea that develped cuntries can apply their wn safety standards nt the markets f develping cuntries—and it’s deeply wrng. Why label an used car seat r an ld TV as unsafe if smene else, with different skills, is perfectly capable f repairing it and willing t use it, especially if they lack access t new prducts and ther ptins? ( Minter称之为“废物殖民主义”，这种发达国家可以将自己的安全标准应用于发展中国家市场的想法是大错特错的。如果别人有不同的技能，完全有能力修理，而且愿意使用，尤其是在他们没有新产品和其他选择的情况下，为什么要给二手汽车座椅或旧电视贴上不安全的标签呢?)”可知，Minter说的废物殖民主义，指的是发达国家把自己的安全标准应用于发展中国家，给二手商品贴上不安全的标签，不出口到发展中国家，因此推断禁止向发展中国家出口旧货属于废物殖民主义。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Minter calls fr initiatives t enhance prduct repairability and increase prduct lifetime. (Minter呼吁采取措施提高产品的可修复性并延长产品的使用寿命。)”可知，在他的书中，Minter呼吁生产可维修的寿命较长的产品，也就是生产更多可持续性产品。故选C。
D
It seems like just anther grup f nn-player characters (NPCs) in a vide game. But unlike traditinal NPCs, these characters’ behavir isn’t prgrammed by a cder (程序员). Instead, they generate their behavir accrding t a shrt bigraphy given t them cnsisting f a name, age, jb, family, interests, and a few habits. What is surprising? They behave in ways that are believably humanlike.
In the experiment, a team f Stanfrd researchers led by Jn Sung Park placed 25 generative agents within a virtual wrld. Each agent was assigned a unique backgrund and participated in a tw-day simulatin (模拟). Varius remarkable behavirs were then bserved. Fr example, ne agent planned a party and infrmed friends and relatives, many f whm shwed up at the crrect time and place; anther agent wh decided t run fr president set ff heated discussins amng the cmmunity, with different agents hlding varying pinins n this candidate.
The researchers used a cntrl grup f human participants, each rle-playing ne f the 25 agents, and were astnished by the result: actual humans generated respnses that an evaluatin grup f 100 individuals rated as less human-like than the generative agents.
The study has inspired interest amng game designers wh hpe generative agents will make game play mre engaging. But Park is mst interested in ther dwnstream applicatins, including generative agents’ ptential usefulness fr scial science studies. “Fr example, researchers culd explre hw peple in an nline frum are likely t respnd t a particular measure aimed at cuntering false infrmatin,” Park envisins.
Hwever, Park acknwledges that generative agents als raise sme ptential ethical (伦理的) prblems. One highlighted risk is that peple will develp ne-sided “fake friendships” with humanlike generative agents at the expense f relatinships in real life. The researchers described the ethical cncerns with sme prpsed slutins. “It’s always better t ver-wrry abut ethical prblems at the beginning rather than underestimate their significance and regret it later,” Park says.
12. Hw d the generative agents in the study differ frm traditinal NPCs in vide games?
A. They can write bigraphies.B. They are cntrlled by cders.
C. They behave in humanlike ways.D. They have unique cultural backgrunds.
13. Which f the fllwing steps is taken in the experiment?
A. Having peple rate the generated behavir.
B. Managing the human rle-players’ respnse.
C. Evaluating the 100 individuals’ generated respnse.
D. Making the characters imitate the human participants.
14. Accrding t Park, what culd be a ptential use f generative agents?
A. Enhancing nline frum engagement.
B. Making technlgical breakthrughs.
C. Designing mre absrbing vide games.
D. Predicting human actins in a scial cntext.
15. What is Park’s recmmended apprach t the ethical issues raised by generative agents?
A. Discunt their significance.B. Address cncerns instantly.
C. Be deeply wrried thrughut.D. Pstpne slutins t a later time.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究人员使用了一组名为“generative agents”的虚拟角色，这些角色的行为不是由程序员编程设定的，而是根据他们的背景信息生成的。在实验中，这些角色表现出了令人惊讶的类似人类的行为。研究人员对比了一组真实的人类参与者的表现，结果评估组认为生成的角色比真实人类更像人类。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“It seems like just anther grup f nn-player characters (NPCs) in a vide game. But unlike traditinal NPCs, these characters’ behavir isn’t prgrammed by a cder (程序员). Instead, they generate their behavir accrding t a shrt bigraphy given t them cnsisting f a name, age, jb, family, interests, and a few habits. What is surprising? They behave in ways that are believably humanlike.”（这看起来就像是电子游戏中的另一群非玩家角色(npc)。但与传统的npc不同，这些角色的行为并不是由编码员编程的。相反，他们的行为是根据给他们的一个简短的传记来决定的，包括名字、年龄、工作、家庭、兴趣和一些习惯。令人惊讶的是什么？它们的行为方式非常像人类。）可知，研究中的生成代理与电子游戏中的传统npc的不同之处是它们的行为方式与人类相似。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“actual humans generated respnses that an evaluatin grup f 100 individuals rated as less human-like than the generative agents.”（一个由100人组成的评估小组认为，真正的人类产生的反应比生成代理更不像人类。）可知，实验让人们对生成的行为进行评价。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“But Park is mst interested in ther dwnstream applicatins, including generative agents’ ptential usefulness fr scial science studies. “Fr example, researchers culd explre hw peple in an nline frum are likely t respnd t a particular measure aimed at cuntering false infrmatin,” Park envisins.”（但Park最感兴趣的是其他下游应用，包括生成代理在社会科学研究中的潜在用途。“例如，研究人员可以探索在线论坛上的人们可能如何回应旨在打击虚假信息的特定措施，”Park设想。）可推知，根据Park的说法，生成代理的潜在用途是在社会环境中预测人类的行为。故选D项。
15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““It’s always better t ver-wrry abut ethical prblems at the beginning rather than underestimate their significance and regret it later,” Park says.”（“一开始就过度担心道德问题总是比低估其重要性并在事后后悔要好，”Park说。）可推知，对于生成主体引发的伦理问题，Park推荐的方法是立即解决问题。故选B项。

As I admired the serene garden, it taught me a lessn abut the British culture f understatement.(它只是伦敦附近的一个当地公园，我在英国生活的八年里从未听说过它。当我欣赏这个宁静的花园时，它教会了我一个关于英国低调文化的教训)”可知，本句主要说明了上文提到的克莱夫登花园的情况，结合后文提到这是一个公园，故A选项“克莱夫登不是一个著名的度假胜地”符合语境，故选A。
【17题详解】
根据上文““The English landscape is mre beautiful because its beauty is understated,” my friend Will said t me later as we walked thrugh an exhibitin at Tate Britain. He pinted t a painting f a peaceful cuntryside. “This is the landscape I grew up with”, he said.
