I’m walking arund the huse with a severe limp (跛行) and actively secnd-guessing every decisin I’ ve ever made That can nly mean ne thing: I just ran my ne race fr the year.
The 7-mile race is in my hmetwn in Illinis, and I’ ve been ding it almst every year since I was a 12-year-ld by. I reached my peak abut 15 years ag and have been perfrming prly ever since.
Why d I keep ging if I n lnger enjy it and am getting wrse every year? Traditin, mstly. Besides, I dn’t dislike the whle race, just the running part. I like seeing all the running club members I’ ve knwn since childhd, and I lve the free beer afterward. Running is just a minr blck n the way t the gd stuff.
That day, I was accmpanied t the race by a grup f three extremely in-shape peple. We all live in the same Indianaplis suburb. These guys bike and run cuntless miles, ften in the same day. One has dne dzens f Spartan Races, which require the player t crawl thrugh mud, flip tires and thrw spears. Anther is training fr a triathln (三项全能运动). In additin t being faster than me n ft, in the water and n wheels, he can als utlift me.
I didn’t hld much hpe fr the race— n ne puts less pressure n me than me. Between miles 4 and 5, I felt s gd that I wndered why I nly d this nce a year. Then I hit mile 6, and my bdy warned me. I pushed myself until I had a mile left, at which pint my legs decided they were dne. Determinatin and a can-d attitude are n match fr gravity and distance. Exhausted, I slwly made my way t the finishing line.
Still, I can hnestly say I gave everything I had. My slw, pldding (步履艰难的) finish was actually a victry that prves I gave it my all. I dn’t need a huge cup t hnr my heric perfrmance. My aching knee is enugh f a suvenir.
A day later, even as my entire bdy tells me I’m an idit, I can’t help but feel that the race was a success. I’ve decided t keep ding this race as lng as my legs can supprt me.
24. The authr ran the race because .

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Why d I keep ging if I n lnger enjy it and am getting wrse every year? Traditin, mstly.( 如果我不再喜欢它，而且成绩一年比一年差，我为什么还要继续下去呢？主要是，传统。)”可知，作者参加比赛是因为他想保持旧习俗。故选A。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“These guys bike and run cuntless miles, ften in the same day. One has dne dzens f Spartan Races, which require the player t crawl thrugh mud, flip tires and thrw spears. Anther is training fr a triathln (三项全能运动). In additin t being faster than me n ft, in the water and n wheels, he can als utlift me.( 这些人日复一日地骑行和跑步，里程数多达数百公里。其中一人已经完成了数十场斯巴达勇士赛，这些比赛要求参赛者穿越泥潭，翻转轮胎和投掷长矛。还有一个人正在为一场铁人三项赛做准备。除了在陆地、水域和骑行方面比我跑得快，他还能比我举得更重。)”可知，作者描述了这些人与他的不同之处，比如他们骑行和跑步的距离更长，参加过斯巴达比赛，训练铁人三项等，这些都表明他们比作者更有运动能力。因此，作者提到这些人是为了给自己的低期望找到合理的解释。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Then I hit mile 6, and my bdy warned me. I pushed myself until I had a mile left, at which pint my legs decided they were dne.(当我跑到6英里时，我的身体发出了警告。我逼着自己，直到我还剩一英里，这时我的腿觉得不行了。)”以及“Determinatin and a can-d attitude are n match fr gravity and distance. Exhausted, I slwly made my way t the finishing line.(决心和“我能行”的态度战胜不了重力和距离。我筋疲力尽，慢慢地向终点线走去。)”可知，作者拼尽全力完成比赛，直到最后一英里腿已经无法再跑下去，因此可以得知作者在比赛中竭尽全力。故选D。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“My slw, pldding (步履艰难的) finish was actually a victry that prves I gave it my all. I dn’t need a huge cup t hnr my heric perfrmance. My aching knee is enugh f a suvenir.( 我缓慢、步履艰难的完赛实际上是一场胜利，证明了我付出了我的一切。我不需要一个巨大的杯子来纪念我的英雄事迹。我疼痛的膝盖足以作为纪念。)”可知，尽管作者身体疼痛，但作者仍然认为比赛是成功的，因为他已经竭尽全力，故推断作者在比赛结束后是十分满意的。故选B。
C
A species can be termed temprarily “lst” after nt being sighted fr a decade, but researchers still hpe t find it again eventually. In 2023, that hpe led t the rediscvery f Attenbrugh’s echidna, unseen fr half a century. Inspired, Thmas Evans and his team have created a database f 856 lst and 424 rediscvered species.
The database keeps grwing faster than explrers can keep up with, despite increasingly advanced technlgies fr tracing unseen creatures reaching an expertise level. The study indicates many rediscvered species appear t fllw a rather similar trend: they are big, appealing mammals r birds tending t live near humans and in mre-develped cuntries. Thus, Evans says if an animal is up t snuff but cntinues t be ut f researchers’ sight after lng searches, it’s prbably gne frever. On the cntrary, animals that dn’t exhibit the pattern fr easy rediscvery are very much alive ut there. “Because they are generally difficult t cme acrss and are therefre met with less explratry attentin, in mst cases, small, unattractive species are mre likely t be seemingly extinct but still alive,” Evans says.
Evans hpes such details will help cnservatinists like Christina Biggs, wh has been drawing upn a list f 25 “mst wanted” species fr Texas-based charity Re: wild since 2017. “Currenuly, Re: wild is finalizing its 2024 search lists, using the study’s results. We have t make hard decisins n where t put ur mney, and Evans’s research helps t direct us,” says Biggs.
But is it always in a lst species’ best interest t be fund? After a rediscvery, it can take mnths t secure an area frm hunters r turists. “In publicizing smething yu’ve rediscvered, yu’re publicizing a fd surce fr hunters,” says bilgist James Kemptn. Biggs ntes, hwever, rediscveries ften strengthen prtectin effrts. When a species is rediscvered, prtected areas will be made pssible. Biggs adds that fr sme hard- t-find species, researchers culd use Evans’s study t decide if a creature is likely still alive — and then draw brad prtected areas arund its general regin, where ther endangered species als live, rather than send pssibly fruitless explrers t the area t prve the animal’s existence.
Beynd the scientific gains, searching fr lst species plays a crucial rle in understanding and prtecting ur wrld. Once, the Yngsu Sapari cmmunity used Attenbrugh’s echidnas as a peace tl t settle arguments. “If brthers fught, they had t find an Attenbrugh’s echidna, a slutin that is increasingly difficult,” Biggs says. “S, everything is cnnected. Every species behaves in an ecsystem and fulfills a purpse.”
28. What des the underlined phrase “is up t snuff” in Paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Fits the prfile.B. Adapts well.
C. Breaks the habit.D. Grws mature.
29. What can be inferred frm the passage?
A. Technlgy has reduced the number f missing species.
B. Publicizing rediscvery secures the future f lst species.
C. Larger animals face a higher extinctin risk than smaller nes.
D. Animals neighbring humans receive mre attentin in searches.
30. What might Christina Biggs agree with?
A The number f echidnas will increase after its rediscvery.
B. Explratry missins matter mre than habitat preservatin.
C. Extinct species cme with bth eclgical and cultural lsses.
D. Thmas Evans has instructed Re: wild t identify the 25 species.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员如何通过创建数据库来追踪和重新发现“失联”物种，并讨论了重新发现物种对保护工作的影响以及公众宣传的双刃剑效应。
28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段划线词前“The study indicates many rediscvered species appear t fllw a rather similar trend: they are big, appealing mammals r birds tending t live near humans and in mre-develped cuntries.(研究表明，许多重新发现的物种表现出相似的趋势：它们通常是生活在人类附近的大型、吸引人的哺乳动物或鸟类，且多生活在较发达国家)”及划线词后“but cntinues t be ut f researchers’ sight after lng searches, it’s prbably gne frever.(但在长时间搜索后仍然不见踪影，那么它可能已经永远消失了)”可知，如果一个动物符合重新被发现的标准，即体型大、有吸引力、生活在人类附近或更发达的国家，但在长时间的搜寻后仍未被找到，那么它可能已经永远消失了。故划线词“is up t snuff”与A项“符合标准”意义相近。故选A。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“The study indicates many rediscvered species appear t fllw a rather similar trend: they are big, appealing mammals r birds tending t live near humans and in mre-develped cuntries. Thus, Evans says if an animal is up t snuff but cntinues t be ut f researchers’ sight after lng searches, it’s prbably gne frever. On the cntrary, animals that dn’t exhibit the pattern fr easy rediscvery are very much alive ut there. “Because they are generally difficult t cme acrss and are therefre met with less explratry attentin, in mst cases, small, unattractive species are mre likely t be seemingly extinct but still alive,” Evans says.(研究表明，许多重新发现的物种表现出相似的趋势：它们通常是生活在人类附近的大型、吸引人的哺乳动物或鸟类，且多生活在较发达国家。因此，埃文斯说，如果一种动物符合标准，但在长时间搜索后仍然不见踪影，那么它可能已经永远消失了。相反，不符合容易重新发现模式的动物很可能仍然活着。“因为它们通常难以遇见，因此得到的探索关注较少，大多数情况下，小型、不吸引人的物种看起来已经灭绝，但实际上仍然活着，”埃文斯说)”可知，人类相邻的动物由于更容易被注意到和重新发现，因此它们受到的关注更多。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Beynd the scientific gains, searching fr lst species plays a crucial rle in understanding and prtecting ur wrld. Once, the Yngsu Sapari cmmunity used Attenbrugh’s echidnas as a peace tl t settle arguments. “If brthers fught, they had t find an Attenbrugh’s echidna, a slutin that is increasingly difficult,” Biggs says. “S, everything is cnnected. Every species behaves in an ecsystem and fulfills a purpse.(除了科学上的收获，寻找失联物种在理解和保护我们的世界中发挥着关键作用。曾经，Yngsu Sapari社区使用爱登堡针鼹作为一种和平工具来解决争端。“如果兄弟们争吵，他们必须找到一只爱登堡针鼹，但这种情况越来越难，”比格斯说。“所以，一切都是相互关联的。每个物种在生态系统中都有其行为和作用)”可知，比格斯会同意的观点是：灭绝的物种不仅带来生态上的损失，还有文化上的损失。故选C。
D
Over the summer, the neurscientist Christ f Kch accepted defeat n his 25-year bet with the philspher David Chalmers, a lst wager that the science f cnsciusness wuld be all wrapped up by nw.

In my new bk entitled Why? , I take head-n the questin f why it’s s hard t make prgress n cnsciusness. The cre difficulty is that cnsciusness cannt be easily bserved. Yu can’t lk inside smene’s brain and see their feelings and experiences. Science des deal with things that can’t be bserved, such as fundamental particles (粒子), quantum wave functins (量子波函数), and maybe even ther universes. But cnsciusness pses an imprtant difference: in all f these ther cases, we therize abut things we can’t bserve in rder t explain what we can bserve. Uniquely with cnsciusness, the thing we are trying t explain cannt be publicly bserved.
Hw then can we investigate cnsciusness? I argue that we can accunt fr the evlutin f cnsciusness nly if we reject reductinism (简化论) abut it. Mst cnsciusness researchers emply a reductinist view f the universe, where physics is running the shw. Thus, insfar as there are sme future pssibilities left pen by the arrangements f particles in ur brains, they are settled by nthing mre than the randm chanciness implicit (含蓄的) in quantum mechanics.
Sme challenges have emerged lately t this reductinist mdel. The neurscientist Kevin Mitchell argues that the free will f cnscius rganisms plays a rle in determining what will happen in the brain, ver and abve what is settled by the laws f physics. Evlutin ffers ne f the strngest challenges. Natural selectin nly cares abut behavir, as it’s nly behavir that matters fr survival. Rapid prgress in AI and rbtics has made it clear, hwever, that extremely cmplex behaviur can exist in a system that entirely lacks cnscius experience. Fr any adaptive behaviur assciated with cnsciusness, there culd be a nncnscius mechanism that inspires the same behaviur. Given this, it is a deep mystery why cnsciusness evlved at all. But suppse the emergence f bilgical cnsciusness brings int existence radically new frms f behavir, ver and abve what physics alne culd prduce. Perhaps rganisms that have cnscius awareness f the wrld arund them, and thereby freely respnd based n that awareness, behave very differently than mere mechanisms. Cnsequently, they survive much better. With these assumptins, we can make sense f natural selectin’s preference fr cnscius rganisms.
As a philspher, in Why? , I develp a radical frm — the view that cnsciusness ges right dwn t the fundamental building blcks f reality — aimed at addressing the philsphical challenges f cnsciusness, as well as prviding a framewrk fr scientists t make prgress n the scientific issues. It is a pincer mvement (钳形运动) f science and philsphy that will, ultimately, crack the mystery f cnsciusness.

【答案】31. C 32. A 33. C 34. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍当前意识研究领域面临的困境、挑战和新的探索方向，提出超越简化论来解释意识进化的新方向。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The cre difficulty is that cnsciusness cannt be easily bserved. Yu can’t lk inside smene’s brain and see their feelings and experiences.（核心困难在于意识不容易被观察。你无法看到某人的大脑内部，无法看到他们的情感和体验。）”可知，意识在人脑内部，不易被观察，因此选项C“意识缺乏可观察的现象用以研究”符合题意。故选C项。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The neurscientist Kevin Mitchell argues that the free will f cnscius rganisms plays a rle in determining what will happen in the brain, ver and abve what is settled by the laws f physics.（神经科学家Kevin Mitchell认为，有意识生物体的自由意志在决定大脑中将发生什么方面起着作用，这超出了物理定律所决定的范围。）”以及接下来的内容“Given this, it is a deep mystery why cnsciusness evlved at all. But suppse the emergence f bilgical cnsciusness brings int existence radically new frms f behavir, ver and abve what physics alne culd prduce.（鉴于此，意识为何会进化仍然是一个深奥的谜团。但假设生物意识出现却带来了物理定律单独作用之外的全新行为模式。）”，可以看出作者对于Kevin Mitchell的观点是支持的。因此，选项A“支持的”符合题意。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章整体内容，特别是第一段“Despite decades f research, there’s little sign f shared understanding n cnsciusness, with several cmpeting theries still being debated.（尽管经历了几十年的研究，但对意识的理解几乎没有达成共识的迹象，几个相互对立的理论仍在争论中。）”和最后一段“It is a pincer mvement (钳形运动) f science and philsphy that will, ultimately, crack the mystery f cnsciusness.（科学和哲学的钳形运动，最终将揭开意识的神秘面纱。）”可知，从文中可推断出的是选项C的“意识的本质需进一步研究”。故选C项。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第四段“Hw then can we investigate cnsciusness? I argue that we can accunt fr the evlutin f cnsciusness nly if we reject reductinism (简化论) abut it. （那么我们如何研究意识呢？我认为，只有当我们拒绝关于意识的简化论时，我们才能解释意识的进化。）”可知，文章主要讨论了关于意识的研究和进化，特别是反对简化论的观点，并提出了一个关于意识进化的新框架。因此，最合适本文的标题应是选项D的“超越简化论：探索意识的进化”。故选D项。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。
We all lve t criticize, but unfrtunately, we als hate being criticized. We freely pst and cmment n thers, but feel annyed at the way thers assess us, bth nline and in persn. The wrld seems unlikely t change anytime sn. Frtunately, thugh, each f us can change hw we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback — even when it is negative.
Criticism is defined as judgment f the merits (优点) and faults f smething r smene in written r spken frm. Technically, criticism can include praise, but that isn’t what cncerns us here. What annys us is criticism f the negative variety, even when well-intentined — s-called cnstructive criticism, which means t prvide guidance s we can imprve. Wrst f all is destructive criticism, which aims t cause hurt r damage.
The culture f criticism isn’t ging away. The nly way t flurish (繁荣) in it, and despite it, is t adpt new habits f getting and giving critical feedback. One rule is t assume that criticism, even when it seems persnal, is nt actually abut yu persnally. When we receive criticism, we make it persnal in tw ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Secnd, we tend t cnsider the criticism a judgment n ur natural abilities, rather than n ur perfrmance. Interestingly, even amng yung children, research shws that viewing criticism as a judgment n ne’s abilities can lead t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md, and less persistence at tasks.
If taking criticism is particularly hard fr yu, yu are nt alne. Hwever, taking criticism badly is mre embarrassing, ultimately, than the criticism itself. If we d the wrk t learn t accept negative feedback, we will be much better ff.
40. What will be the results f changing the way we give and take criticism?
____________________________________________________________________________________
41. What is the difference between cnstructive and destructive criticism?
____________________________________________________________________________________
42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance.
____________________________________________________________________________________
43. What benefit(s) wuld yu gain frm learning t accept negative feedback? (In abut 40 wrds)
____________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】40. We will be less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback— even when it is negative.
41. Cnstructive criticism means t prvide guidance s we can imprve, while destructive criticism aims t cause hurt r damage.
42. Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance.
They take criticism as a judgment n their abilities.
43. Learning t accept negative feedback can help us resist anger mre easily and criticize mre crrectly. In additin, accepting negative feedback can help us put ur shrtcmings in perspective, crrect ur mistakes and imprve urselves.
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文，说明了批评对我们的影响及我们应如何正确地对待批评。
【40题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Frtunately, thugh, each f us can change hw we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback— even when it is negative.(幸运的是，我们每个人都可以改变我们给予和接受批评的方式，这将使我们不太可能伤害别人，更抵制愤怒，并能更好地从反馈中获益——即使是消极的反馈)”可知，改变我们给予和接受批评的方式会使我们不太可能伤害别人，更抵制愤怒，并能更好地从反馈中获益——即使是消极的反馈。故答案为We will be less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback — even when it is negative.
【41题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“What annys us is criticism f the negative variety, even when well-intentined — s-called cnstructive criticism, which means t prvide guidance s we can imprve. Wrst f all is destructive criticism, which aims t cause hurt r damage.(让我们烦恼的是负面的批评，即使是善意的所谓建设性的批评，也意味着提供指导，让我们提高。最糟糕的是破坏性的批评，它的目的是造成伤害或破坏)”可知，建设性的批评是指提供指导，使我们能够改进，而破坏性的批评旨在造成伤害或损害。故答案为Cnstructive criticism means t prvide guidance s we can imprve, while destructive criticism aims t cause hurt r damage.
【42题详解】
考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段“Secnd, we tend t cnsider the criticism a judgment n ur natural abilities, rather than n ur perfrmance. Interestingly, even amng yung children, research shws that viewing criticism as a judgment n ne’s abilities can lead t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md, and less persistence at tasks.(第二，我们倾向于认为批评是对我们天生能力的判断，而不是对我们的表现的判断。有趣的是，研究表明，即使是在年幼的孩子中，将批评视为对一个人能力的判断，也会导致自我价值降低、积极情绪降低、任务坚持度降低)”可推知，接受批评的孩子自我价值较低，因为他们把批评当成对自己能力的评判，而不是表现得判断。故答案为Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance./They take criticism as a judgment n their abilities.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。根据文章最后一段“If we d the wrk t learn t accept negative feedback, we will be much better ff.(如果我们努力学习接受负面反馈，我们就会变得更好)”可知，学习接受负面反馈能帮助我们更容易抵制愤怒，同时更正确地进行批评。此外，接受负面反馈还能帮助我们正确地看待自己的不足，纠正错误并提高自己。故答案为Learning t accept negative feedback can help us resist anger mre easily and criticize mre crrectly. In additin, accepting negative feedback can help us put ur shrtcmings in perspective, crrect ur mistakes and imprve urselves.
