A
Yu be the judge: shuld my phne-addicted friend g n a mbile detx (戒断)?
The prsecutin (控方): James
My husemate and best friend spends every waking minute n TikTk. I knw she wrks in scial media, but she’s nw seriusly addicted t it, even after she’s clcked f. Besides, she needs t stp playing vides ludly arund the huse when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My jb means I have t be n the ball with what’s trending nline. I think James is jealus because he’s gt a rather bring jb in accunting. I dn’t g arund playing vides at full vlume all the time; I think that’s nly happened a handful f times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) f Guardian readers
While Marley’s use f TikTk may seem excessive t sme, ultimately it is up t her hw she chses t use her time. If James can’t accept that, he shuld mve ut.
Marg, 29
Marley needs t put her phne dwn, live in the mment and think less abut her scial media presence. She is guilty f nt valuing an hnest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her n TikTk.
Stewart, 35
As a fellw phne addict, I d have sympathy fr Marley. Hwever, it’s mre than a little rude t have the sund turned n while watching TV tgether.
Peter, 40
The excessive use f scial media is a crime and reflects pr cntrl ver scial habits. Marley needs t be mre cnsiderate f thers.
Steve, 6
Nw yu be the-judge
In ur reader feedback sectin, tell us: shuld Marley get ff TikTk and get a life?
21. What is Marley’s reasn fr spending time n TikTk?
A. She finds an accunting jb dull.B. She enjys sharing ppular vides.
C. She needs t stay updated n nline trends.D. She prefers aviding interactin with James.
22. Wh is fully n Marley’s side?
A. Marg.B. Stewart.C. Peter.D. Steve.

【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据Marg, 29部分“While Marley’s use f TikTk may seem excessive t sme, ultimately it is up t her hw she chses t use her time. If James can’t accept that, he shuld mve ut.(虽然Marley对TikTk的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度，但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受，他应该搬出去)”可知，只有Marg全力支持Marley。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In ur reader feedback sectin, tell us: shuld Marley get ff TikTk and get a life?(在我们的读者反馈部分，告诉我们：Marley应该离开TikTk，开始自己的生活吗？)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。
B
Why des ne plus ne equal tw?
One pssible answer is “It just des!” — an answer that has been frustrating children fr generatins. It is quite right t feel frustrated by that idea.
Math can seem-like a wrld f rules yu just have t fllw, which makes it seem rigid and bring. Whereas my lve f math is smewhat driven — by my lve f breaking rules, r at least pushing against them. Bth f thse impulses (冲动) play an imprtant rle in advancing human understanding f math.
S rather than think abut why ne plus ne is tw, let’s g further and questin whether it’s true all the time.
Smetimes, ne plus ne can equal mre than tw. Say yu put ne rabbit and anther rabbit tgether. Yu might well end up with a lt f rabbits. Or smetimes, ne plus ne is just ne, like if yu put a pile f sand n tp f anther pile f sand, then yu just get ne pile f sand.
Nw, yu might think that these aren’t really mathematical situatins, because they dn’t invlve real additin. Yu’re welcme t think that, but that’s nt what math des.
Math instead says: Let’s wrk ut the cntext in which ne plus ne really des equal tw, and cntexts in which it desn’t. By explring different ways t think abut smething, we gain a deeper understanding f that thing and have mre ways t check that what we’re ding is secure.
Imagine we were designing a jungle gym fr children. We’d want t test it in every pssible way t make sure it’s safe. The slidity f math cmes frm nt wanting t trust things, but wanting t jump and swing and knw that ur framewrk will hld up.
I hpe that we will start seeing mathematics as a place t pse questins and explre answers, rather than a place where the answers are fixed and we’re suppsed t knw them. And I hpe we will place mre emphasis n thse wh fllw their curisity n a jurney that may be slw and withut a clear destinatin, a quiet walkthrugh the cunty side rather than a race t the finish.
24. Hw des the authr view the act f questining mathematical rules?
A. Crucial t gaining better insight.
B. Best suited fr advanced learners.
C. Deeply frustrating fr math lvers.
D. Harmful t understanding basic ideas.
25. Which paragraph specifically discusses exceptins t “1+1=2”?
A. Paragraph 4.B. Paragraph 5.C. Paragraph 7.D. Paragraph 8.
26. What is a benefit f appraching math in the way the authr suggests?
A. It leads t faster decisin- making.
B. It remves the need t fllw rules.
C. It facilitates reliable prblem-slving.
D. It discurages explring untested ideas.
27. Which f the fllwing bks is the text mst likely taken frm?
A. The Rules f Math: A Practical Apprach
B. Why Math Matters in Develping Independent Thinking
C. Hw Simple Questins Lead Us t Math’s Deepest Truths
D. The Jy f Numbers: Discvering Hidden Patterns in Math
【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述作者通过质疑“一加一等于二”，强调数学探索的重要性，鼓励以好奇心和开放思维来看待数学问题。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Math can seem-like a wrld f rules yu just have t fllw, which makes it seem rigid and bring. Whereas my lve f math is smewhat driven — by my lve f breaking rules, r at least pushing against them. Bth f thse impulses (冲动) play an imprtant rle in advancing human understanding f math. (数学似乎是一个你必须遵守的规则的世界，这让它看起来僵化而无聊。而我对数学的热爱在一定程度上是由我对打破规则或至少违反规则的热爱所驱动的。这两种冲动在促进人类对数学的理解方面都发挥着重要作用。)”可知，作者认为对数学规则的质疑对推动人类对数学的理解至关重要。因此，质疑数学规则是获得更好洞察的重要途径。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Smetimes, ne plus ne can equal mre than tw. Say yu put ne rabbit and anther rabbit tgether. Yu might well end up with a lt f rabbits. Or smetimes, ne plus ne is just ne, like if yu put a pile f sand n tp f anther pile f sand, then yu just get ne pile f sand. (有时，一加一等于二。假设你把一只兔子和另一只兔子放在一起。你最终可能会养很多兔子。或者有时，一加一就是一，就像你把一堆沙子放在另一堆沙子上，那么你只会得到一堆沙子。)”可知，第五段具体提到了“1+1=2”的例外情况。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“By explring different ways t think abut smething, we gain a deeper understanding f that thing and have mre ways t check that what we’re ding is secure.(通过探索不同的思考方式，我们对事物有了更深入的理解，并有更多的方法来检查我们所做的事情是否安全)”和第八段“The slidity f math cmes frm nt wanting t trust things, but wanting t jump and swing and knw that ur framewrk will hld up. (数学的坚固性来自于不想信任事物，而是想跳跃和摇摆，知道我们的框架会站得住脚。)”可知，作者认为以这种方式接触数学能够确保我们的问题解决方法是可靠的。因此，以作者建议的方式接触数学可以促进可靠的解决问题。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Why des ne plus ne equal tw? (为什么一加一等于二？)”和最后一段“I hpe that we will start seeing mathematics as a place t pse questins and explre answers. (我希望我们将开始把数学视为一个提出问题和探索答案的地方。)”可知，文章讨论了简单问题如何引导我们深入理解数学的本质。因此，本文最有可能出自Hw Simple Questins Lead Us t Math’s Deepest Truths 一书。故选C。
C
If a stranger ffered yu a free ckie, yu might well cat it. But what if they ffered t als give yu $2? Yu might plitely decline and walk away thinking, “Smething smells fishy.”
In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “t gd t be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent f participants ate a ckie ffered freely — cmpared with abut 20percent f thse ffered $2 as well. “Peple typically imagine things like sme ne did smething disgusting t the ckie,” says study lead authr Andrew J. Vnasch, a psychlgical scientist at the University f Canterbury in NewZealand.
Nine further experiments used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (门槛), higher ptential mnetary gain reduced participants’ likelihd f accepting the ffer.
Vnasch says the study illustrates that cntrary t the “standard ecnmic mdel,” which suppses humans always seek t maximize gains, transactins (交易) need t als be understd as scial interactins between peple trying t understand each ther’s minds.
If smene seems t vilate accepted nrms, such as self-interest, withut any explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”, imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value,” Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived vergenersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Vnasch.
The researchers als shwed hw t mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a cnditin where the seats were revealed t be very uncmfrtable. “Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”
28. Why might peple reject an ffer f $2 alng with a free ckie?
A. They dislike a mney-related ffer.B. They distrust the true value f the ffer.
C. They think the ffer is nt gd enugh.D. They suspect the ffer nly lasts a shrt time.
29. What aspect f the nine further experiments is intrduced in Paragraph 4?
A. The mral cncerns.B. The research methd.
C. The experiments’ duratin.D. The participants’ backgrund.
30. Which psychlgical factr best explains the findings f the study?
A. Fearful f “phantm csts”.B. Afraid f vilating scial nrms.
C. Cmmitted t the standard ecnmic mdel.D. Uncncerned abut an ffer’s “psychlgical value”
31. Why des the authr mentin the “cheap flights” experiment?
A. T stress the unpredictability f human chices.
B. T illustrate hw hidden mtives affect peple’s chices.
C. T emphasize the imprtance f prviding clear examples.
D. T shw giving justificatins can increase acceptance f ffers.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为什么人们会拒绝看似过于慷慨的优惠或免费赠品，探讨了经济学和心理学之间的联系。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “t gd t be true.”(在《个性与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常便宜的服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”可知，人们会拒绝2美元外加一块免费饼干的提议是因为他们不相信这份提议的真正价值。故选B。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nine further experiments used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (门槛), higher ptential mnetary gain reduced participants’ likelihd f accepting the ffer.(另外九项实验使用在线问卷来呈现其他情况。其中包括给钱让他搭车回家，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每一种情况下，超过一定的门槛，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性)”可知，第4段介绍了九个进一步实验的研究方法。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If smene seems t vilate accepted nrms, such as self-interest, withut any explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”, imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value,” Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived vergenersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Vnasch.(如果有人似乎违反了公认的规范，比如自利，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“幻影成本”，想象的后果会降低Vnasch所说的提议的“心理价值”，超出当前时刻的因素可能会起作用。Vnasch说：“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们欠他们的债，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”)”可知，害怕“幻影成本”这一因素解释了这一现象。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers als shwed hw t mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal.(研究人员还展示了如何减轻这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由)”以及““Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”(“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点，”沃纳什说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐，因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知，作者提到“廉价航班”实验是为了表明给出理由可以增加提议的接受度。故选D。
D
The missin is simple. Arrive n freign sil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge frm the shadws and take ver. This prcedure, familiar frm spy fictin as the preserve f sleeper agents, is als the strategy f certain invasive plant species.
Invasive species that stay put, knwn as sleeper species, are nt hard-wired t d s. Their natural tendency t expand is, instead, held back by sme external factr. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University f Massachusetts wndered whether alteratins in temperature and rainfall had the ptential t activate sme sleeper species. As she reprts in a paper in Bilgical Inuvasins, the answer is a definitive yes.
Dr Bradley and her team came t their cnclusins by studying 1,795 plant species in nrth-eastern America identifiable as freign but nt yet lcally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestinably demnstrating invasive behaviur in ther parts f the wrld, and causing damage t their envirnment. That suggested they had the capacity t cause similar damage in America t.
T determine whether the cnditins cming t the regin wuld activate any f the set 169, the researchers first identified the cnditins under which these species wuld thrive (旺盛). A number f the plants n their list were held back by the cld winters that are less and less cmmn in the regin. They als fund that sme ther species required mre rainfall than is typical.
Accrding t the team’s findings, climate change is n track t awaken 18 sleeper species that culd cause serius envirnmental and ecnmic prblems. Dr Bradley estimates that they will start t make themselves felt between 2040 and 2060 if smething is nt dne sn.
The mst practical curse f actin, in her view, is t seek these sleeper species ut befre they are able t spread. Remving them tday may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying t weed them ut tmrrw.
32. What strategy d sleeper species emply?
A. Rapidly expanding in new envirnments.
B. Patiently waiting fr human interventin.
C. Remaining inactive until cnditins are favrable.
D. Aviding detectin by staying in shadwy-crners.
33. What des the underlined wrd “hard-wired” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Slwly adapted.
B. Slidly supprted.
C Externally influenced.
D. Naturally prgrammed.
34. What did researchers aim t uncver by fcusing n the 169 species?
A. The ptential risks they culd pse in the future.
B. Their invasive behavir in ther parts f the wrld.
C. The reasns why they failed t survive in America.
D. Pssible ways t make them less cmmn in America.
35. What’s Dr Bradley’s suggestin fr dealing with sleeper species?
A. Let nature take its curse.
B. Preventin is better than cure.

Yu be the judge: shuld my phne-addicted friend g n a mbile detx (戒断)?
The prsecutin (控方): James
My husemate and best friend spends every waking minute n TikTk. I knw she wrks in scial media, but she’s nw seriusly addicted t it, even after she’s clcked f. Besides, she needs t stp playing vides ludly arund the huse when I’m watching TV.
The defence: Marley
My jb means I have t be n the ball with what’s trending nline. I think James is jealus because he’s gt a rather bring jb in accunting. I dn’t g arund playing vides at full vlume all the time; I think that’s nly happened a handful f times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there.
The jury (陪审团) f Guardian readers
While Marley’s use f TikTk may seem excessive t sme, ultimately it is up t her hw she chses t use her time. If James can’t accept that, he shuld mve ut.
Marg, 29
Marley needs t put her phne dwn, live in the mment and think less abut her scial media presence. She is guilty f nt valuing an hnest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her n TikTk.
Stewart, 35
As a fellw phne addict, I d have sympathy fr Marley. Hwever, it’s mre than a little rude t have the sund turned n while watching TV tgether.
Peter, 40
The excessive use f scial media is a crime and reflects pr cntrl ver scial habits. Marley needs t be mre cnsiderate f thers.
Steve, 6

Why des ne plus ne equal tw?
One pssible answer is “It just des!” — an answer that has been frustrating children fr generatins. It is quite right t feel frustrated by that idea.
Math can seem-like a wrld f rules yu just have t fllw, which makes it seem rigid and bring. Whereas my lve f math is smewhat driven — by my lve f breaking rules, r at least pushing against them. Bth f thse impulses (冲动) play an imprtant rle in advancing human understanding f math.
S rather than think abut why ne plus ne is tw, let’s g further and questin whether it’s true all the time.
Smetimes, ne plus ne can equal mre than tw. Say yu put ne rabbit and anther rabbit tgether. Yu might well end up with a lt f rabbits. Or smetimes, ne plus ne is just ne, like if yu put a pile f sand n tp f anther pile f sand, then yu just get ne pile f sand.
Nw, yu might think that these aren’t really mathematical situatins, because they dn’t invlve real additin. Yu’re welcme t think that, but that’s nt what math des.
Math instead says: Let’s wrk ut the cntext in which ne plus ne really des equal tw, and cntexts in which it desn’t. By explring different ways t think abut smething, we gain a deeper understanding f that thing and have mre ways t check that what we’re ding is secure.
Imagine we were designing a jungle gym fr children. We’d want t test it in every pssible way t make sure it’s safe. The slidity f math cmes frm nt wanting t trust things, but wanting t jump and swing and knw that ur framewrk will hld up.
I hpe that we will start seeing mathematics as a place t pse questins and explre answers, rather than a place where the answers are fixed and we’re suppsed t knw them. And I hpe we will place mre emphasis n thse wh fllw their curisity n a jurney that may be slw and withut a clear destinatin, a quiet walkthrugh the cunty side rather than a race t the finish.
24. Hw des the authr view the act f questining mathematical rules?
A. Crucial t gaining better insight.
B. Best suited fr advanced learners.
C. Deeply frustrating fr math lvers.
D. Harmful t understanding basic ideas.
25. Which paragraph specifically discusses exceptins t “1+1=2”?
A. Paragraph 4.B. Paragraph 5.C. Paragraph 7.D. Paragraph 8.
26. What is a benefit f appraching math in the way the authr suggests?
A. It leads t faster decisin- making.
B. It remves the need t fllw rules.
C. It facilitates reliable prblem-slving.

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Math can seem-like a wrld f rules yu just have t fllw, which makes it seem rigid and bring. Whereas my lve f math is smewhat driven — by my lve f breaking rules, r at least pushing against them. Bth f thse impulses (冲动) play an imprtant rle in advancing human understanding f math. (数学似乎是一个你必须遵守的规则的世界，这让它看起来僵化而无聊。而我对数学的热爱在一定程度上是由我对打破规则或至少违反规则的热爱所驱动的。这两种冲动在促进人类对数学的理解方面都发挥着重要作用。)”可知，作者认为对数学规则的质疑对推动人类对数学的理解至关重要。因此，质疑数学规则是获得更好洞察的重要途径。故选A。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Smetimes, ne plus ne can equal mre than tw. Say yu put ne rabbit and anther rabbit tgether. Yu might well end up with a lt f rabbits. Or smetimes, ne plus ne is just ne, like if yu put a pile f sand n tp f anther pile f sand, then yu just get ne pile f sand. (有时，一加一等于二。假设你把一只兔子和另一只兔子放在一起。你最终可能会养很多兔子。或者有时，一加一就是一，就像你把一堆沙子放在另一堆沙子上，那么你只会得到一堆沙子。)”可知，第五段具体提到了“1+1=2”的例外情况。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第七段“By explring different ways t think abut smething, we gain a deeper understanding f that thing and have mre ways t check that what we’re ding is secure.(通过探索不同的思考方式，我们对事物有了更深入的理解，并有更多的方法来检查我们所做的事情是否安全)”和第八段“The slidity f math cmes frm nt wanting t trust things, but wanting t jump and swing and knw that ur framewrk will hld up. (数学的坚固性来自于不想信任事物，而是想跳跃和摇摆，知道我们的框架会站得住脚。)”可知，作者认为以这种方式接触数学能够确保我们的问题解决方法是可靠的。因此，以作者建议的方式接触数学可以促进可靠的解决问题。故选C。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Why des ne plus ne equal tw? (为什么一加一等于二？)”和最后一段“I hpe that we will start seeing mathematics as a place t pse questins and explre answers. (我希望我们将开始把数学视为一个提出问题和探索答案的地方。)”可知，文章讨论了简单问题如何引导我们深入理解数学的本质。因此，本文最有可能出自Hw Simple Questins Lead Us t Math’s Deepest Truths 一书。故选C。
C
If a stranger ffered yu a free ckie, yu might well cat it. But what if they ffered t als give yu $2? Yu might plitely decline and walk away thinking, “Smething smells fishy.”
In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “t gd t be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent f participants ate a ckie ffered freely — cmpared with abut 20percent f thse ffered $2 as well. “Peple typically imagine things like sme ne did smething disgusting t the ckie,” says study lead authr Andrew J. Vnasch, a psychlgical scientist at the University f Canterbury in NewZealand.
Nine further experiments used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (门槛), higher ptential mnetary gain reduced participants’ likelihd f accepting the ffer.
Vnasch says the study illustrates that cntrary t the “standard ecnmic mdel,” which suppses humans always seek t maximize gains, transactins (交易) need t als be understd as scial interactins between peple trying t understand each ther’s minds.
If smene seems t vilate accepted nrms, such as self-interest, withut any explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”, imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value,” Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived vergenersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Vnasch.
The researchers als shwed hw t mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a cnditin where the seats were revealed t be very uncmfrtable. “Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”
28. Why might peple reject an ffer f $2 alng with a free ckie?
A. They dislike a mney-related ffer.B. They distrust the true value f the ffer.
C. They think the ffer is nt gd enugh.D. They suspect the ffer nly lasts a shrt time.
29. What aspect f the nine further experiments is intrduced in Paragraph 4?
A. The mral cncerns.B. The research methd.
C. The experiments’ duratin.D. The participants’ backgrund.
30. Which psychlgical factr best explains the findings f the study?
A. Fearful f “phantm csts”.B. Afraid f vilating scial nrms.
C. Cmmitted t the standard ecnmic mdel.D. Uncncerned abut an ffer’s “psychlgical value”
31. Why des the authr mentin the “cheap flights” experiment?
A. T stress the unpredictability f human chices.
B. T illustrate hw hidden mtives affect peple’s chices.
C. T emphasize the imprtance f prviding clear examples.
D. T shw giving justificatins can increase acceptance f ffers.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. A 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为什么人们会拒绝看似过于慷慨的优惠或免费赠品，探讨了经济学和心理学之间的联系。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a study published in Persnality and Scial Psychlgy Bulletin, researchers fund that peple tend t turn dwn ffers f “free mney,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “t gd t be true.”(在《个性与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常便宜的服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”可知，人们会拒绝2美元外加一块免费饼干的提议是因为他们不相信这份提议的真正价值。故选B。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nine further experiments used nline questinnaires t present ther cases. These included being ffered mney t accept a ride hme and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshld (门槛), higher ptential mnetary gain reduced participants’ likelihd f accepting the ffer.(另外九项实验使用在线问卷来呈现其他情况。其中包括给钱让他搭车回家，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每一种情况下，超过一定的门槛，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性)”可知，第4段介绍了九个进一步实验的研究方法。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If smene seems t vilate accepted nrms, such as self-interest, withut any explanatin, we assume they have hidden mtives and infer there will be “phantm csts”, imagined cnsequences that reduce what Vnasch calls an ffer’s “psychlgical value,” Factrs beynd the present mment may cme int play. “Understanding that thers’ perceived vergenersity may put us in their debt culd als help explain peple’s reluctance,” says Vnasch.(如果有人似乎违反了公认的规范，比如自利，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“幻影成本”，想象的后果会降低Vnasch所说的提议的“心理价值”，超出当前时刻的因素可能会起作用。Vnasch说：“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们欠他们的债，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”)”可知，害怕“幻影成本”这一因素解释了这一现象。故选A。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers als shwed hw t mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply prvide a reasn fr the deal.(研究人员还展示了如何减轻这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由)”以及““Uncmfrtable seats aren’t typically a selling pint,” Vnasch says. “But telling peple the seats were uncmfrtable made them mre willing t take them because it was sufficient explanatin.”(“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点，”沃纳什说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐，因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知，作者提到“廉价航班”实验是为了表明给出理由可以增加提议的接受度。故选D。
D
The missin is simple. Arrive n freign sil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge frm the shadws and take ver. This prcedure, familiar frm spy fictin as the preserve f sleeper agents, is als the strategy f certain invasive plant species.
Invasive species that stay put, knwn as sleeper species, are nt hard-wired t d s. Their natural tendency t expand is, instead, held back by sme external factr. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University f Massachusetts wndered whether alteratins in temperature and rainfall had the ptential t activate sme sleeper species. As she reprts in a paper in Bilgical Inuvasins, the answer is a definitive yes.
Dr Bradley and her team came t their cnclusins by studying 1,795 plant species in nrth-eastern America identifiable as freign but nt yet lcally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestinably demnstrating invasive behaviur in ther parts f the wrld, and causing damage t their envirnment. That suggested they had the capacity t cause similar damage in America t.
T determine whether the cnditins cming t the regin wuld activate any f the set 169, the researchers first identified the cnditins under which these species wuld thrive (旺盛). A number f the plants n their list were held back by the cld winters that are less and less cmmn in the regin. They als fund that sme ther species required mre rainfall than is typical.
Accrding t the team’s findings, climate change is n track t awaken 18 sleeper species that culd cause serius envirnmental and ecnmic prblems. Dr Bradley estimates that they will start t make themselves felt between 2040 and 2060 if smething is nt dne sn.
The mst practical curse f actin, in her view, is t seek these sleeper species ut befre they are able t spread. Remving them tday may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying t weed them ut tmrrw.
32. What strategy d sleeper species emply?
A. Rapidly expanding in new envirnments.
B. Patiently waiting fr human interventin.
C. Remaining inactive until cnditins are favrable.
D. Aviding detectin by staying in shadwy-crners.
33. What des the underlined wrd “hard-wired” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Slwly adapted.
B. Slidly supprted.
C Externally influenced.
D. Naturally prgrammed.
34. What did researchers aim t uncver by fcusing n the 169 species?
A. The ptential risks they culd pse in the future.
B. Their invasive behavir in ther parts f the wrld.
C. The reasns why they failed t survive in America.
D. Pssible ways t make them less cmmn in America.
35. What’s Dr Bradley’s suggestin fr dealing with sleeper species?
A. Let nature take its curse.
B. Preventin is better than cure.
C. Cutting budgets is a tp pririty.
D. Delay actin until it’s necessary.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化如何激活沉睡的入侵植物物种，预示这些物种可能对环境和经济产生严重影响，并建议提前采取措施。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段内容以及“Arrive n freign sil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge frm the shadws and take ver. This prcedure, familiar frm spy fictin as the preserve f sleeper agents, is als the strategy f certain invasive plant species.”（到达外国的土地，适应和等待。然后，当时机成熟时，从阴影中走出来，接管一切。这一过程在间谍小说中很常见，就像潜伏特工的保护一样，也是某些入侵植物物种的策略。）可知, sleeper species的策略是在等待适宜的条件才活跃起来。因此选C。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Their natural tendency t expand is, instead, held back by sme external factr.”（相反，它们扩张的自然趋势被一些外部因素所抑制。）可知，这些物种本能地倾向于扩展，虽然这种倾向被外部因素所抑制，hard-wired 在这里指的是“与生俱来的，固有的”。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Of these,169 were unquestinably demnstrating invasive behaviur in ther parts f the wrld, and causing damage t their envirnment. That suggested they had the capacity t cause similar damage in America t.”（其中，169只无疑在世界其他地区表现出入侵行为，并对其环境造成破坏。这表明他们也有能力在美国造成类似的破坏。）可知，研究人员通过关注这169这个物种来揭示它们在未来可能带来的风险，即它们在美国也可能造成类似的环境和经济问题。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。从最后一段“The mst practical curse f actin,in her view,is t seek these sleeper species ut befre they are able t spread.”（在她看来，最实际的做法是在这些潜伏物种传播之前将其消灭。）可知，Dr Bradley建议在这些物种有机会扩散之前就将其发现并清除，说明“预防胜于治疗”是应对睡眠物种的最佳策略。故选B项。
