文章指出,新研究显示,熊猫栖息地过于舒适会降低其迁徙和交配意愿,威胁基因多样性。科学家建议保留20%不宜居区域(如人类活动区或恶劣环境)以促进种群流动。该发现符合“金发姑娘原则”,对大型肉食动物保护具有启示意义。目前野生熊猫约1800只,虽从濒危降为易危,仍需科学栖息地管理维持种群健康。原文对照
New research suggests that pandas may be at risk of dying out because they are too comfortable. Experts say too much happiness can stop the bears from searching for new mates.新的研究表明,熊猫可能因生活得过于舒适而面临灭绝风险。专家称,过度安逸会导致熊猫不再寻觅新配偶。Environmentalists have long believed that building roads or homes near the bears may threaten their survival by "reducing or fragmenting their natural: habitats", The Times reported. But the new research suggests that a "modest degree of discomfort and fragmentation" may actually help preserve panda populations.据《泰晤士报》报道,环保主义者长期以来一直认为,在熊猫栖息地附近修建道路或住宅,可能会通过“减少或割裂它们的自然栖息地”威胁它们的生存。但这项新研究指出,“适度的不适与栖息地碎片化”实际上可能有助于保护熊猫种群。The research was conducted by scientists from Michigan State University. It concluded that pandas fail to wander off in search of new mates if they find their habitat too comfortable, resulting in a lack of vital genetic diversity.这项研究是由密歇根州立大学的科学家们开展的。研究得出结论:若熊猫发现栖息地过于舒适,它们就不会迁徙寻找新配偶,从而导致关键的遗传多样性缺失。For their study--outlined in a paper in the journal Conservation Biology--the team looked at genetic diversity and spread among a Chinese panda population. The ideal level of perfectly livable habitat was found to be only 80% of an area, with the remainder either too harsh or too affected by human activity.研究团队在《保护生物学》期刊的一篇论文中概述了此项研究:他们考察了中国一个熊猫种群的遗传多样性与分布情况。结果发现,理想状态下适宜生存的栖息地面积应占总面积的80%,其余部分要么环境过于恶劣,要么受到人类活动的影响过大。The experts concluded that pandas should ideally "be happy enough to thrive, but not so content that they don't want to move around and find new mates".专家总结道,熊猫的生存状态理想情况下应该是“舒适到足以繁衍,但又不至于安于现状而不愿迁徙寻觅新的配偶”。Their conclusions about what The Guardian described as this "sweet spot" are in line with the so-called Goldilocks principle: that there can be just the right amount of something. The concept has been applied to a wide range of disciplines, from developmental psychology to economics and engineering.《卫报》将这一结论称为“最佳平衡点”,与所谓的“金发姑娘原则”不谋而合:凡事都存在一个恰到好处的程度。这一概念已被广泛应用于从发展心理学到经济学、工程学等诸多领域。Claudio Sillero, a professor of conservation biology at Oxford University, told the newspaper that the new findings could have implications beyond panda conservation.牛津大学保护生物学教授克劳迪奥·西莱罗向该报表示,这项新发现的影响范围不止在熊猫保护领域。"Most large animals that eat meat live in increasingly fragmented landscapes," said Sillero, who was not involved in the research. "It may well be that the messy nature of their relationship with human efforts induces more animals to scatter or travel further, and might result in greater genetic connectivity and enhanced population persistence."西莱罗并没有参与此项研究,不过也表示:“大多数大型肉食动物都生活在日益碎片化的环境中。它们与人类保护活动之间错综复杂的关系,很可能会促使更多动物分散或迁徙到更远区域,从而可能提升遗传连通性并增强种群存续能力。”The most recent count of pandas found that there were more than 1, 800 left in the wild, putting them on the list of vulnerable, but not endangered, species.最新的熊猫数量统计显示,现存野生熊猫数量逾1800只,这使它们被列入易危而非濒危物种名单。题目及解析
46.What do we learn from new research about pandas?
A) They are losing habitat due to the building of roads and houses.B) They have stopped seeking new mates for reproduction.C) They may not adapt to the fragmentation of their habitat.D) They may cease to exist as a result of enjoying too good a life.•定位:根据关键new research about pandas定位到第一段第一句。•解析:文章第一段第一句明确指出新研究表明,熊猫可能因生活得过于舒适而面临灭绝风险。选项D与原文意思一致,故选D。根据第二段第一句可知,道路和房屋建设导致栖息地丧失是环保主义者的传统观点,非新研究结论,故排除A。根据第一段第二句可知,过度安逸会导致熊猫不再寻觅新配偶,而不是已经停止,B项与原文表述不一致,故排除。根据第二段第二句可知,适度的不适与栖息地碎片化实际上可能有助于保护熊猫种群,选项C与原文表述相反,故排除。47.What can we conclude from the new research by scientists at Michigan State University?
A) Environmentalists' long-time belief regarding panda conservation may be misleading.B) Housing development near pandas' homes may threaten their survival.C) Pandas' natural habitats are becoming less suitable for reproduction.D) The increased panda population is attributed to the fragmentation of their habitat.•题目翻译:从密歇根州立大学科学家的新研究中,我们可以得出什么结论?A)环保主义者长期以来关于熊猫保护的观点可能存在误导性。B)在熊猫栖息地附近开展住房开发可能威胁它们的生存。•定位:根据关键词new research和Michigan State University定位到第二、三段。•解析:文章第二段提到,环保主义者长期以来一直认为栖息地碎片化会威胁熊猫生存,但新研究(由第三段首句可知,该研究是由密歇根州立大学的科学家开展的)表明适度的不适与栖息地碎片化可能有助于保护熊猫种群,这说明传统观点可能具有误导性,选项A与原文逻辑一致,故选A。根据第二段第一句可知,住房开发威胁生存是环保主义者的观点,并非新研究结论,故排除B。根据第三段第二句可知,若熊猫发现栖息地过于舒适,就不会迁徙寻找新配偶,并没有提到栖息地变得越来越不适合繁殖,故排除C。第二段第二句提到,栖息地适度碎片化可能有助于保护熊猫种群,并没有说种群数量增加归因于栖息地碎片化,且原文中未提及种群数量增加的原因,故排除D。48.What is the experts' conclusion regarding pandas?
A) It is urgent to provide an ideal habitat for them to thrive.B) It is very important to preserve their genetic diversity.C) Their chances of finding new mates have a lot to do with their habitat.D) Their environment for survival has been continuously worsening.•题目翻译:专家针对熊猫得出的结论是什么?
•定位:根据关键词experts' conclusion定位到第三段。•解析:由第三段第二句可知,研究得出结论:若熊猫发现栖息地过于舒适,它们就不会迁徙寻找新配偶,从而导致关键的遗传多样性缺失。这说明专家认为熊猫寻找新配偶的机会与栖息地舒适度密切相关,选项C与原文表述含义一致,故选C。第四段第二句提到,栖息地中适宜生存的区域占比达到80%时最为理想,这暗示并非提供完全理想的栖息地就是最佳策略,A项与原文不一致,故排除。专家结论侧重栖息地与寻找配偶的关系,而保护它们的遗传多样性至关重要是该行为缺失导致的后果,而非专家在此项研究中的直接结论,故排除B。D项内容原文中未提及,故排除。49.What can we infer from the passage about the Goldilocks principle?
A) It needs to be confirmed by more studies on pandas.B) It applies to the preservation of pandas too.C) It has implications for future panda research.D) It can be used to locate the right spot for pandas.•题目翻译:从文中关于“金发姑娘原则”的描述可以推断出什么?•定位:根据关键词the Goldilocks principle定位到第六段。•解析:文章第六段第一句明确提到,新研究结论与“金发姑娘原则”不谋而合,该原则强调事物的量需恰到好处,而由前面的内容可知密歇根州立大学的新研究结论有助于熊猫物种的保护,由此可推断“金发姑娘原则”也适用于熊猫保护,故选B。原文未提及需要进一步验证,A项内容与原文不一致,故排除。第六段第一句仅说明该原则也适用于熊猫保护,原文重点在于其适用性而非未来启示,故排除C。D项内容文中未提及,故排除。50.What can the new findings do according to Professor Sillero?
A) Help discover new ways for the conservation of pandas.B) Help remove pandas from the list of endangered species.C) Shed light on the conservation of most large meat-eating animals.D) Show the complexity of interactions between humans and animals.•题目翻译:根据西莱罗教授的观点,这些新发现能起到什么作用?•定位:根据关键词Professor Sillro定位到倒数第二、三段。•解析:根据文章前面段落的内容可知,密歇根州立大学的新研究发现适度的不适与栖息地碎片化实际上可能有助于保护熊猫种群,而文章倒数第三段中西莱罗教授表示,这项新发现(即密歇根州立大学的新发现)的影响范围不止在熊猫保护领域。言外之意,该研究结论不仅适用于熊猫种群,还适用于其他种群。在下一段中,西莱罗教授对其言论做了进一步解释,概括起来就是,大多数大型肉食动物都生活在日益碎片化的环境中,这可能促使它们更多地分散或迁徙,从而可能提升其遗传连通性并增强其种群存续能力。也就是说,新发现不仅会促进熊猫物种保护,也为大型肉食动物保护提供了启示。由此可知,本题应选C。A项在西莱罗教授的言论中找不到依据,故排除。原文最后一段虽提及野生熊猫已从濒危名单降级至易危名单,但西莱罗教授的言论中并未提及熊猫从濒危名单移除的内容,故排除B项。西莱罗只强调该项新研究对其他物种保护同样有作用,但并未指出该研究是否有助于显示人类与动物互动关系的复杂性,故排除D项。Passage Two

文章介绍了安吉拉·达克沃斯在《坚毅》中提出的观点:成功的关键并非天赋,而是“坚毅”——激情与毅力的结合。她认为努力的作用比天赋更关键,坚毅能区分成败,并让人摆脱对完美的执念。即使缺乏天赋,只要持续行动,仍可能成功。她鼓励人们以“再试一次”的态度追求目标,强调成功的大门比想象中更宽广。原文对照
With those born with natural talents, it feels as if they excel without really trying. But what about those of us who don't have a natural talent? We've been told all our lives that if you work hard, you too can succeed. But with the release of Angela Duckworth's Grit, we are given a new key to success.对于天赋异禀的人而言,他们仿佛无需真正努力就能出类拔萃。但我们当中那些没有天赋的人呢?我们一生都被告知,只要勤奋努力,也能成功。然而,随着安吉拉·达克沃斯所著的《坚毅》一书的问世,我们获得了一把通往成功的新钥匙。"As much as talent counts, effort counts twice," says Duckworth in Grit. She introduces a new concept that talent may be overrated, and if you want real success, what you need is grit, the perfect combination of passion and persistence. Even if you have natural talent, it's nothing without grit.“天赋固然重要,努力则更为关键。”达克沃斯在《坚毅》中如此阐释。她提出一个全新观点:天赋或许被高估了,若想获得真正的成功,需要的是坚毅,也就是激情与毅力的完美融合。即便拥有天赋,缺乏坚毅也终将一事无成。Duckworth says grit is the difference between success and failure. A person who has grit is more likely to succeed than a person who does not. When we think about attaining success--whether it's landing that job or learning that new skill--our thoughts are immediately burdened by all the things we must first learn. If you want that new job, you have to learn the job skills, then the interview skills, then the dress part--and you must be perfect at all of them. Grit is different because it tells us that perfection isn't the goal.达克沃斯指出,坚毅是成败的分水岭。拥有坚毅品质的人,比缺乏者更有可能成功。当我们思考如何获得成功时——无论是争取一份工作,还是学习一项新技能——思绪总会被“必须先掌握的所有知识”压得喘不过气。若想得到那份新工作,就需先学习工作技能,再研习面试技巧,还要讲究着装礼仪——且必须在各方面都做到完美。而坚毅的不同之处在于,它告诉我们:完美并非终极目标。Grit lifts the unreasonable expectations off our shoulders. Grit tells us that the door is open wider than we first thought possible. Grit allows us to redefine our goals. Think about it: what's something you've always wanted to do, but gave up because you "don't have the skills for it"? What's something you love but aren't good at?坚毅卸下了我们肩头不切实际的期望。它让我们知晓,成功的大门比最初想象中的更为开阔。它更让我们重新思考自己的目标。试想:是否有件事你一直想做,却因“缺乏相应技能”而放弃?是否有某件事你热爱着,却不够擅长?The real workings of grit are to have sustainable passion and continue to try. Effort means more than your natural ability. Even if you haven't mastered a skill, grit tells you that you can still succeed if you can transform your passion into action. In a way, Duckworth is giving new hope to people who have shut the doors on their dreams. She is saying it is possible that you can accomplish anything. If at first you fail, then try one more time with grit.坚毅的真谛在于怀揣持久的激情并持续尝试。努力的意义远超天赋本身。即便尚未掌握某项技能,坚毅也会告诉你:若能将激情转化为行动,依然可以成功。从某种意义上说,达克沃斯为那些已经对梦想关上大门的人带来了新的希望。她宣告:一切皆有可能。若初次尝试失败,就带着坚毅再试一次。题目及解析
51.What does the passage say about people born with natural talents?
A) They seem to outdo others without hard work.B) They appear to know all the secrets to success.C) They feel it only too logical to succeed.D) They are bound to excel effortlessly.•定位:根据关键词people born with natural talents定位到第一段第一句。•解析:文章第一段第一句指出,天赋异禀的人似乎无需真正努力就能出类拔萃,选项A与原文表述的含义一致,故为答案。B、C两项原文中均未提及,故排除。D项说法过于绝对,也排除。52.What does Duckworth say about talent?
A) It is a new concept much too overrated.B) It proves necessary for big achievements.C) It plays a lesser role in one's success.D) It is a guarantee for real success in life.•定位:根据关键词Duckworth say about talent定位到第二段。•解析:文章第二段第二句提到,达克沃斯认为天赋或许被高估了,若想获得真正的成功,需要的是坚毅,可见她强调努力比天赋更重要,即天赋在成功中作用较小。C项与原文逻辑一致,故选C。文章中提到的新概念是坚毅而非天赋,A项与原文不一致,故排除。第二段第三句提到,即便拥有天赋,缺乏坚毅也终将一事无成,B项与原文不符,故排除。关于成功的因素,达克沃斯强调的是坚毅而不是天赋,故排除D。53.What does the passage say about people thinking of attaining success?
A) They are puzzled how to present their best to the employer.B) They are burdened by their expectation of perfection.C) They will try hard to land a job that fits their skills best.D) They will find themselves lacking in all the skills they need.•定位:根据关键词people thinking of attaining success定位到第三段第三句。•解析:文章第三段第三句提到,当我们思考如何获得成功时——无论是争取一份工作,还是学习一项新技能——思绪总会被“必须先掌握的所有知识”压得喘不过气,也就是说人们追求成功时,力争在各方面都做到完美,从而产生负担,B项含义与原文表述一致,故选B。A项是找工作的细节,而不是整体的心理状态,应排除。C项是具体行为,而非原文强调的因追求完美而产生负担,故排除。第三段第四句中提到,必须在各方面做到完美,而不是缺乏所需的全部技能,D项与原文不一致,故排除。54.How does the author think grit can be helpful to us?
A) It allows us to know what we are good at.B) It opens our eyes to new opportunities.C) It focuses our attention on what we do.D) It lets us reconsider the goals to achieve.•定位:根据关键词grit can be helpful定位到第四段第三句。•解析:文章第四段第三句指出,坚毅让我们重新思考自己的目标,选项D与原文意思一致,故选D。第四段结尾处虽提及是否有某件事你热爱着,却不够擅长,但并未提及坚毅就能让我们了解自己的擅长之处,故排除A项。第四段第二句提到,成功的大门比最初想象中的更为开阔,指成功的可能性增加,而非具体机会,B项与原文不一致,故排除。C项内容原文未提及,故排除。55.What message does Duckworth try to convey in her book Grit?
A) We should perfect ourselves to ensure success.B) We should stay persistent even in face of failures.C) We can never master a skill without constant practice.D) We can never expect to reach our goals without passion.•题目翻译:达克沃斯在其《坚毅》一书中试图传达什么信息?•定位:根据键词message和Duckworth try to convey定位到第五段最后两句。•解析:由第五段最后两句可知,达克沃斯宣告:一切皆有可能,若初次尝试失败,就带着坚毅再试一次。全文在介绍达克沃斯《坚毅》一书,所以全文最后两句就是在总结她在《坚毅》一书中要传递的信息,即面对失败仍需坚持,选项B精准概括了这一观点,故选B。原文否定完美主义,A项与原文内容矛盾,应排除。C项过度聚焦练习,忽略了原文中坚毅的核心定义是“激情+坚持”,故应排除。D项片面强调激情,忽略了坚持,与原文观点不一致,应排除。2025年6月四级真题解析第二套

本文节选自gcwgandhinagar.com网站上一篇题为“Behaviour and clothing choices, practices and effect and clothing on the individual”的文章。文章指出,科学研究表明,服装的象征意义会影响人的行为、情绪甚至社交方式,合适的着装能提升职业和个人生活方面的优势。正式服装有助于使人进入工作心态,休闲装则有助于社交。原文对照
We all take a little extra effort to look nice for special occasions. But most of us have conflicting feelings about dressing up and feel guilty about taking the time to focus on clothes. Science now suggests the right dress may give ourselves the extra edge in our professional and personal lives.我们都会在特殊场合多花一点心思打扮自己。但是,我们中的大多数人都会对穿衣打扮有着矛盾的情感,并对花时间关注衣着感到愧疚。现在的科学表明,合适的着装可能会给我们的职业和个人生活提供额外的优势。We hear sayings like "dress for the job you want;, not the job you have". Most people don't really believe in them, but research into the impact of clothes on behavior now suggests that there may actually be a grain of truth in these sayings. Science says that the clothes we wear affect our behavior, our mood and even the way we interact with others because of the symbolic meaning that we assign to different types of clothing.我们听过诸如此类说法:“为你想要的工作着装,而不是为你现有的工作着装”。大多数人并不真正相信这些话,但有关服装对行为的影响的研究表明,这些说法或许确有几分道理。科学表明,我们的着装会影响我们的行为、情绪,甚至与他人交往的方式,因为我们赋予了不同类型的服装象征性的意义。We consider some clothes to be powerful, some to be fun, and so on. We even evaluate people whom we have just met based on their clothes. We also evaluate ourselves based on what we are wearing because of the way they make us feel. This means that the experience of wearing something affects our attitudes and our choice of behavior.我们认为有些衣服是有力量的,有些衣服是有趣的,等等。我们甚至会根据服装来评价初次见面的人。我们也会根据自己的穿着来评价自己,因为它们会影响我们的感觉。这意味着穿某件衣服的体验会影响我们的态度和行为选择。There's a reason tailored jackets are associated with being 'dressed for success'. It seems that wearing formal office wear puts us in the right frame of mind to conduct business. Wearing power clothing makes us feel more confident and even increases hormones needed for displaying dominance. This in turn helps us become better negotiators and abstract thinkers.定制夹克与“为成功着装”联系在一起是有原因的。穿着正式的职业装似乎能让我们以正确心态开展业务。穿上力量型服装会让我们感觉更自信,甚至会增加展现支配力所需的荷尔蒙。这反过来又帮助我们成为更好的谈判者和抽象思维者。While a good suit works wonders for our performance in the boardroom, wearing formal wear isn't a great idea when we want to socialize. Studies have found that people tend to be less open and less able to relax when they wear formal clothes.虽然一套好西装能让我们在会议室里表现出色,但当我们想要社交时,穿正装并不是一个好主意。研究发现,人们穿正装时往往没那么放得开,更难放松。On the other hand, a casual dress helps us become more friendly and creative. These findings support the idea of wearing business casuals on a Friday; since colleagues are most likely to take out time to socialize on the last work day of the week. I mean, who wants to hang out with people in their suits?另一方面,休闲装能让我们变得更友好、更具创造力。这些发现支持在周五穿商务便装的想法——因为同事们最有可能在一周的最后一个工作日抽出时间来社交。我的意思是,谁会愿意和穿着西装的人一起出去玩呢?题目及解析
46.What does science suggest the right dress may do?
A) Add to our advantage in work and life.B) Enable us to look a lot more attractive.C) Help us to enjoy a fuller personal life.D) Provide extra energy for what we do.•定位:根据题干关键词science suggest the right dress可将答案定位到原文第一段最后一句。•解析:第一段最后一句指出,现在的科学表明,合适的着装可能会给我们的职业和个人生活提供额外的优势,故选项A正确。选项中的Add to our advantage和原文中的give ourselves the extra edge属于同义替换,edge作名词时,除了“边缘”“刀口”的含义,还有“优势”的含义。原文并未提及吸引力与能量,故选项B和选项D可以排除;原文仅提及着装给个人生活带来额外优势,未具体说明“更充实”,故选项C也排除。47.Why does science say the clothes one wears may affect their interaction with others?
A) Clothes usually represent one's social and economic status.B) Clothes largely determine one's likability by people around.C) Different types of clothing markedly reflect different personalities.D) Different types of clothing convey different messages symbolically.•题目翻译:为什么科学表明一个人的着装可能会影响其与他人的交往?B)着装在很大程度上决定了一个人被周围的人喜爱的程度。•定位:根据题干关键词sciencesay和affect theirinteraction with others可将答案定位到原文第二段第三句。•解析:第二段第三句话指出,科学表明,我们的着装会影响我们的行为、情绪,甚至与他人交往的方式,因为我们赋予了不同类型的服装象征性的意义,这说明服装的象征意义影响穿衣者与他人的交往,故选项D正确。选项中的symbolically对应原文中的symbolic。其他三个选项在原文中均未提及,故排除。48.How do the clothes we wear sway our evaluation of ourselves?
A) By exerting an effect on our power of judgment.B) By impacting how we feel about ourselves.C) By affecting what we take as the basis for assessment.D) By influencing our interpretation of symbolic messages.•定位:根据题干关键词evaluation ofourselves可将答案定位到第三段第三句。•解析:第三段第三句指出,我们也会根据自己的穿着来评价自己,因为它们会影响我们的感觉,故选项B正确。选项中的impacting how we feel对应原文中的the way they make usfeel。其他三个选项在原文中并未提及,均排除。49.Why does the author say tailored jackets are associated with being 'dressed for success'?
A) They are necessary for formal business dealings.B) They may help people concentrate on their business.C) They are vital to keeping a dominant position in business transactions.D) They may enable people to have the right mentality for doing business.•题目翻译:为什么作者说定制夹克与“为成功着装”有关?•定位:根据题干中的tailored jackets和'dressed for success'可将答案定位到第四段第一、二句。•解析:第四段第一句指出,定制夹克与“为成功着装”联系在一起是有原因的。然后在第二句表明原因,穿着正式的职业装似乎能让我们以正确心态开展业务,故选项D正确。选项中的therightmentality for doing business和原文中的the right frame of mind to conduct business属于同义替换。原文强调的是正确心态(如自信),而非专注度,故选项B可排除,选项A和选项C在原文中并未提及,也可排除。50.What are people advised to do when they want to socialize?
•定位:根据题干关键词socialize可将答案定位到原文第五段和第六段。•解析:第五段第一句指出,但当我们想要社交时,穿正装并不是一个好主意,故选项B可排除;第六段第一句指出,休闲装能让我们变得更友好、更具创造力,下一句提到了周五穿便装进行社交的内容,由此可知,选项C符合原文;选项A和选项D在原文中并未提及,均可排除,故选项C正确。Passage Two

本文节选自greatestperformance.org网站上一篇题为“Are Opera And Classical Music Still Important Today?”的文章。文章指出,尽管古典音乐与歌剧淡出公众视野,但流行音乐对古典音乐的借鉴、摇滚歌剧的发明及古典音乐在电影中的应用,均证明了其现在仍然充满活力。文章强调古典音乐是现代音乐的根基,未来仍将保持重要性。原文对照
With the rise of pop music, jazz, and electronic music, both opera and classical music started to fade away from the public eye. Some people are beginning to wonder whether opera and classical music are still relevant to the modern world of music. Granted, you will not typically see today's teenagers lending their ears to Bach anytime soon, but there are some major indicators that both opera and classical music are now still quite alive.随着流行音乐、爵士乐和电子音乐的兴起,歌剧和古典音乐都开始淡出公众的视野。有些人开始怀疑,歌剧和古典音乐是否仍与现代音乐世界息息相关。当然,你通常不会看到今天的青少年很快就去聆听巴赫的作品,但有一些重大的迹象表明,歌剧和古典音乐至今仍然充满活力。The most major indicator of classical music's importance in society today is the fact that much of the popular music that is currently being produced uses similar beats, harmonies, and melodies (旋律) as those that were used in some of classical music's best works. Even so, it can be difficult for those who do not study music theory to see this as an indicator, since it is subtle and just shows the impact symphonic (交响乐的) orchestras have had on society's taste in music.古典音乐在当今社会中仍具重要性的最主要标志是,目前制作的许多流行音乐都使用了与古典音乐中一些最佳作品相似的节拍、和声和旋律。即便如此,不学习音乐理论的人可能很难将此视为一个标志,因为它很微妙,只是体现了交响乐团对社会音乐品味的影响。A better example for the relevance of opera and classical music can be seen in the invention of the rock opera. Opera, in its simplest definition, is telling a story using music as its form. The art of telling a story using music has not faded in the least bit. In fact, sometimes actual orchestras are used for major parts of the opera itself. Some of the world's greatest hits have been parts of rock operas.关于歌剧和古典音乐重要性的一个更好的例子是摇滚歌剧的发明。从最简单的定义看,歌剧就是以音乐为形式讲述故事。用音乐讲故事的艺术丝毫没有衰退。事实上,有时歌剧本身的主要部分会使用真正的管弦乐队。一些世界上最伟大的热门歌曲就出自摇滚歌剧。Fans of classical music can also tell you that there are few types of music that are more expressive. So, it should come as no surprise to anyone that classical music pieces are still used as background music in modern movies. Symphonic orchestra compositions have also been created solely for the purpose of being included in major motion pictures. These are often very well received amongst mainstream music fans.古典音乐爱好者也可以告诉你,几乎没有比古典音乐更具表现力的音乐类型了。因此,古典音乐作品仍被用作现代电影的背景音乐也就不足为奇了。交响乐团的作品也是专门为在大型电影中出现而创作的。这些作品往往深受主流音乐爱好者的欢迎。Classical music and opera are the very foundation of what our modern music is based upon. Considering the huge impact they have had on our current society, it is without doubt that we can expect them to continue to remain important for centuries to come.古典音乐和歌剧正是现代音乐的基础。考虑到它们对当今社会产生的巨大影响,毫无疑问,我们可以期待它们在未来几个世纪中继续保持重要地位。题目及解析
51.What does the author think of classical music and opera in today's world?
A) They still make their presence felt.B) They have given way to electronic music.C) They will not fade away from the public eye.D) They are no longer relevant to teenagers' lives.•题目翻译:作者如何看待当今世界中的古典音乐和歌剧?•定位:根据出题顺序与原文顺序基本一致的原则以及题干关键词today'sworld,可将答案定位到第一段。•解析:第一段第一句指出,随着流行音乐、爵士乐和电子音乐的兴起,歌剧和古典音乐都开始淡出公众的视野,选项C与原文表述不符,故排除;本段最后一句指出,你通常不会看到今天的青少年很快就去聆听巴赫的作品,但有一些重大的迹象表明,歌剧和古典音乐至今仍然充满活力,所以选项A符合原文,且选项中的make their presence felt对应原文中的alive。选项B与原文表述不符,可排除。原文并没有否定歌剧和古典音乐与青少年生活的相关性,故选项D也可排除。52.What do we learn about much of the popular music currently produced?
A) Many classical music fans may find it hard to appreciate.B) It can be seen as an indicator of refinement on classical music.C) It caters to society's taste in music in a more subtle way than classical music.D) It contains elements similar to those in some masterpieces of classical music.•题目翻译:关于当下制作的许多流行音乐,我们可以了解到什么?C)与古典音乐相比,它以更微妙的方式迎合了社会的音乐品味。•定位:根据题干关键词the popular music currently produced可将答案定位到第二段第一句。•解析:第二段第一句指出,古典音乐在当今社会中仍具重要性的最主要标志是,目前制作的许多流行音乐都使用了与古典音乐中一些最佳作品相似的节拍、和声和旋律,即流行音乐包含了与一些古典音乐杰作相似的元素,并非说流行音乐是古典音乐改良的标志,故选项D正确,同时排除选项B。选项D中的elements对应原文中的beats, harmonies, and melodies,similar属于原词重现,masterpieces和原文中的best works属于同义替换。本段第二句说的是,不学习音乐理论的人可能很难将此视为一个标志,因为它很微妙,只是体现了交响乐团对社会音乐品味的影响,选项C是利用这一信息设置的干扰项,故排除。选项A在文中未提及,故排除。53.Why does the author mention the invention of the rock opera?

本文节选自网站于2023年4月2日发表的一篇题目为“What Really Makes Us Beautiful”的文章。本文探讨了美国社会过度关注外在美的现象,指出虽然外表吸引力能带来短期关注,但真正持久的亲密关系源于内心世界的共鸣。作者强调培养内在品质的重要性,认为唯有展现真我才能建立深层联结,最终遇见真正欣赏自己灵魂本质的人。原文对照
Our society places a high value on physical beauty. Americans spend an average of over $722 each year on their appearance. One in ten Americans has tried to look like a star.我们的社会高度重视外在美。美国人平均每年在外表上的花费超过722美元。十分之一的美国人曾试图模仿明星的造型。There's nothing wrong with trying to look our best, but excessive focus on physical appearance misses the soulful aspects of what it means to be beautiful. Trying to look like the magazine pictures can take us on a long ride away from what beauty is really about.努力展现最佳形象本无可厚非,但过度关注外貌会让我们忽略“美”的灵魂层面。盲目追逐杂志上的完美形象,只会让我们与美的真谛渐行渐远。Many of us spend far too much time, energy, and money trying to polish an image of what we think will bring attention, love, and connection. In the process, we may fail to attend to ourselves in a way that would move us toward deeper intimacy, fulfillment, and meaning.我们很多人耗费了过多的时间、精力和金钱精心雕琢外在形象,以为这样就能获得关注、爱与联结。在这一过程中,我们可能没能以一种能让我们走向更深层次的亲密关系、获得满足感和人生意义的方式呵护自己。It may sound trite (老生常谈的),but beauty is only skin deep; it's not what brings love toward us. Just read about the latest Hollywood starlets whose seeming love turns into resentment and bitter court battles.这话听起来或许老生常谈,但美貌不过是肤浅的表象,真正能吸引爱意的并非外表。只要看看好莱坞新秀女演员的新闻就知道了——她们看似美好的爱情最终都沦为怨恨与激烈的法庭纷争。Outer beauty can be as much of a curse as a blessing. We may develop a habit of being so focused on maintaining a perfect appearance that we never cultivate the inner qualities necessary to sustain and deepen intimacy and connection. As I describe in my book, The Authentic Heart, it is the courage to be authentic that connects us in a deeper way.外在美可能福祸并存。我们可能养成一种习惯,过分执着于保持完美外表,却从未培养维系并深化亲密关系所需的内在品质。正如我在《真实之心》一书中所言:唯有勇于展现真我,方能建立更深层次的心灵联结。While our initial attraction may be based, in part, on physical chemistry, it is the meeting of our inner worlds that creates the lasting intimacy and spiritual connection for which we long. If we redirect our attention toward cultivating inner qualities, we might find a magnetic attraction that moves us from something superficial to something that connects us to our depths.虽然最初的吸引可能部分源于我们身体本能的化学反应,但真正造就我们渴望的那种持久亲密与心灵相通的,是内心世界的相遇相知。如果我们将注意力转向内在品质的培养,或许会发现一种磁石般的吸引力——它能将我们从肤浅的关系,引向直达灵魂深处的联结。The path toward cultivating inner beauty is really simple. But what is simple is not always easy. Not everyone will see us and appreciate us as we take the courageous risk to allow ourselves to be seen as we really are. But if they don't, it is their loss, not ours. Eventually we'll find those compatible souls who appreciate us as we are.培养内在美的途径其实很简单。但简单的事未必容易。当我们鼓起勇气展现真实自我时,并非每个人都会看见并欣赏这样的我们。但如果他们不懂得欣赏,那是他们的损失,而非我们的。终有一天,我们会遇见那些与我们灵魂相契、能欣赏我们本来模样的人。题目及解析
46.What do we learn about American society from the first paragraph?
A) It sees lots of personal income wasted on beauty products.B) It considers one's physical appearance very important.C) It places a high value on the physical fitness of stars.D) It expects every individual to look their very best.•题目翻译:从第一段中我们能了解到美国社会的什么情况?•定位:根据关键词American society和the first paragraph定位到第一段首句。•解析:第一段首句明确指出我们的社会高度重视外在美,随后列举美国人年均花费722美元在外表上、十分之一的人曾尝试模仿明星造型的例子加以论证,这说明美国社会认为外在美很重要。B项符合原文表述,故选B。文章中提及花费金钱,但重点是强调社会对美的重视,而非浪费个人收入,A项属于过度引申,应排除。C项和D项的内容文章中未提及,故均排除。47.What happens when people strive to look better?
A) They have to get prepared for resentment and bitter court battles.B) They are better able to gain attention, love, and personal connection.C) They may neglect to cultivate the inner qualities that matter more.D) They feel much of their precious time, energy and resources is wasted.•题目翻译:当人们竭力追求更好的外貌时,会发生什么?D)他们觉得自己大量的宝贵时间、精力和资源被浪费了。•定位:根据关键词strive to look better定位到第二、三段。•解析:第二段指出,过度关注外貌会让我们忽略“美”的灵魂层面,让我们与美的真谛渐行渐远;第三段进一步指出,人们在追求外表时,可能会没能以一种能让自己走向更深层次的亲密关系、获得满足感和人生意义的方式呵护自己,也就是说人们过度追求外在美时可能会忽视培养更重要的内在品质。C项的含义与原文一致,故选C。第四段提到了好莱坞新秀女演员的例子,但这只是一个具体案例,用于说明外表美不一定能带来真爱,而她们的爱情演变成怨恨与激烈的法庭纷争也并非普遍结果,A项过于绝对和极端,故排除。B项与文章表达的意思相反,故排除。文章第三段提到人们耗费了过多的时间、精力和金钱,但并未说他们因此感觉浪费,故排除D项。48.What does the author say about outer beauty?
A) It may be inherited or cultivated.B) It may lead to bad as well as good habits.C) It may create connection or isolation.D) It may do as much harm as good.•定位:根据关键词outer beauty定位到第五段第一句。•解析:第五段第一句明确指出,外在美可能福祸并存,即它既有益处也有害处,D项与原文相符,故选D。A项的内容文章中未提及,故排除。文章强调外在美可能导致一味追求完美外表的习惯,这属于“坏习惯”范畴,未提及“好习惯”;此外,文章的焦点是内在品质的缺失,而非习惯本身,B项偏离了文章的中心,故排除。第五段强调外在美无法替代内在品质维系并深化亲密关系,而非直接创造联结或造成隔阂,C项属于过度推断,应排除。49.What brings about spiritual connection?
B) Attraction at first sight.•定位:根据关键词spiritual connection定位到第六段第一句。•解析:第六段第一句明确提到,真正造就我们渴望的那种持久亲密与心灵相通,是内心世界的相遇相知,A项Meeting of minds是对原文meeting of our inner worlds的同义替换,故选A项。第六段第一句的前半句提到最初的吸引可能部分源于我们身体本能的化学反应,但由后半句可知,作者认为这无法带来心灵相通,故排除C项。B项和D项的内容文章中未提及,故排除。50.What happens when we take the path toward cultivating inner beauty?
A) We may find a route toward other people's souls.B) We may be appreciated more by people around us.C) We will meet people who value us for who we are.D) We will be discouraged from revealing our true selves.•题目翻译:当我们踏上培养内在美的道路时会发生什么?•定位:根据题干关键词cultivating inner beauty定位到最后一段末句。•解析:最后一段末句提到,终有一天,我们会遇见那些与我们灵魂相契、能欣赏我们本来模样的人,C项是原文相关内容的同义转述,故选C。A、B两项的内容原文没有提及,故排除。最后一段提到,当我们鼓起勇气展现真实自我时,并非每个人都会看见并欣赏这样的我们,但如果他们不懂得欣赏,那是他们的损失,而非我们的,这是在鼓励人们展现真实的自我,并没有提及人们在追求内在美的时候是否会怯于展现真实的自己,D项的说法在文中没有依据,故排除。Passage Two

本文探讨了植物肉是否值得食用。文中指出,新一代植物肉在口感、风味和外观上显著改进,可模仿真肉,同时点明其核心消费者并非素食者,而是希望减少肉类摄入的人群。此外,文中还指出,与红肉相比,植物肉通常无胆固醇且营养更均衡,更有益健康;但是多数仿造肉的加工度高、钠含量高,并不等同于健康食品;事实上,未深加工的天然食物更健康、更具可持续性。原文对照
Plant-based meats are coming soon to a dinner table near you, but do they deserve a spot on your plate? If you tried a vegetable burger years ago and dismissed it as rubbery and flavorless, it's a good time to give meatless meat another chance. Newer varieties imitate the look, flavor, and texture of meat. Analysts don't expect the meat-free movement to slow anytime soon; a 2021 report predicts the market will skyrocket to $74 billion by 2030-a 957 percent surge.植物肉即将登上你身边的餐桌,但它们真的值得在你的餐盘里占据一席之地吗?如果你多年前尝过蔬菜汉堡,还曾嫌弃它口感像橡胶又寡淡无味,那么现在正是重新尝试素肉的好时机。新一代产品在外观、风味和口感上都能模仿肉类。分析人士认为,素食潮流短期内不会放缓:2021年的一份报告预测,到2030年该市场规模将飙升至740亿美元——增幅高达957%。Plant-based meats are no longer just for vegetarians. Companies such as Impossible Foods and Beyond Meat--the current superstars of the alternative protein sector-are pursuing consumers who enjoy meat but want to reduce their meat consumption for animal rights, health, or environmental reasons. So far, it's a winning strategy: More than nine out of ten consumers who buy Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods products also eat meat.植物肉不再只是素食者的专属。像“不可能食品”和“超越肉类”这样的企业——当下替代蛋白领域的明星品牌——正将目标锁定在那些既爱吃肉,又希望出于动物权益、健康或环保考量减少肉食的消费群体。目前来看,这一策略成效显著:购买“超越汉堡”和“不可能食品”产品的消费者中,超过九成也食用肉类。Many vegetarians don't actually care for food that resembles meat. When reporter Joan Solsman, a longtime vegetarian, tried a dish from Impossible Foods, she felt so sick that she couldn't finish it. "Maybe the best sign that Impossible Foods has cracked the code to realistic fake meat is that I couldn't stand to take another bite," she wrote.实际上,许多素食者并不钟爱仿荤食品。记者琼·索尔斯曼作为长期素食者,在尝试了“不可能食品”的一道菜后感到非常不适,甚至没能吃完。她写道:“或许‘不可能食品’已经掌握了制作逼真素肉的密码,最好的证明就是我一口都吃不下了。”Meatless meats are generally a healthier choice than beef because they are cholesterol-free, plus they're a good source of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber.相比牛肉,素肉通常是更健康的选择,因为它们不含胆固醇,而且,它们是维生素、矿物质、蛋白质和纤维的良好来源。If meatless meat can help you stick to a plant-based diet, that in itself can lead to better health. Not only has red meat been linked to cancer, but studies show that people who ditch meat have lower blood pressure, lower average blood sugar, and lower cholesterol levels.如果素肉能帮助你坚持植物性饮食,这本身就能促进健康。研究显示,红肉不仅与癌症有关联,而且不食用肉类的人血压、平均血糖和胆固醇水平都更低。However, just because it's plant-based doesn't mean it's health food. Most imitation meats are highly processed and contain high amounts of sodium (钠) compared to traditional beef.不过,植物肉并不等同于健康食物。大多数仿肉产品经过深加工,其钠含量甚至远超传统牛肉。These new generations of alternate meat get all the attention, but don't forget about whole grains and vegetables. Beans are an especially excellent protein substitute. They're nutritious, inexpensive, and far more sustainable than any of the processed meatless substitutes on the market today.这些新一代替代肉类备受关注,但也别忘了全谷物和蔬菜。豆类是极佳的蛋白质替代品,它们营养丰富、价格实惠,而且比当今市场上任何加工素肉替代产品都更具可持续性。题目及解析
51.What can we expect of plant-based meats?
A) An increasing interest in their analyses.B) An enormous effort in their promotion.C) A huge boost in their consumption.D) A noticeable surge in their varieties.•定位:根据关键词expect和plant-based meats定位到第一段最后一句。•解析:第一段最后一句提到,分析人士认为,素食潮流短期内不会放缓;2021年的一份报告预测,到2030年该市场规模将飙升至740亿美元——增幅高达957%,这说明植物肉的消费量将会大幅度增长,C项与原文表述相符,故选C。文章仅提到分析人士认为素食潮流不会放缓,未提及分析兴趣,故排除A。B项的内容文中未提及,故排除。文章中提到新一代产品在外观、风味和口感上都能模仿肉类,但未提及种类增加,故排除D。52.What do we learn about consumers buying Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods products?
A) They are mostly non-vegetarians.B) They are mostly animal-rights advocates.C) Most of them refrain from eating meat for health reasons.D) Most of them eat meatless meat to protect the environment.•题目翻译:关于购买“超越汉堡”和“不可能食品”产品的消费者,我们了解到什么?•定位:根据关键词Beyond Burger and Impossible Foods定位到第二段。•解析:第二段最后一句指出,购买“超越汉堡”和“不可能食品”产品的消费者中,超过成同时也食用肉类,这说明他们大多不是素食者,A项符合原文,故选A。B项和D项是部分消费者减少肉类摄入的动机,但文中未限定大多数人具体出于哪种动机,故均应排除。文中提到有部分消费者因动物权益保护、健康或环保原因想减少肉类摄入,而不是不吃肉,C项与原文不符,应排除。53.What can we conclude about Impossible Foods' products from Joan Solsman's remark?
A) They more often appeal to meat-eaters.B) They very much resemble animal meat.C) Some have become its signature dishes.D) Most of them are sold as true fake meat.•题目翻译:从琼·索尔斯曼的评论中,我们能就“不可能食品”的产品得出什么结论?•定位:根据关键词Joan Solsman's remark定位到第三段。•解析:根据第三段可知,琼·索尔斯曼是长期素食者,她在尝试了“不可能食品”的一道菜后感到非常不适,甚至没能吃完。由此可知,该段结尾琼·索尔斯曼指出“或许‘不可能食品’已经掌握了制作逼真素肉的密码,最好的证明就是我一口都吃不下了”,即“不可能食品”的产品过于逼真,作为素食者她感到难以下咽,B项的表述是原文的同义转述,故选B。其他三项的内容文中均未提及,故排除。54.Why can the habit of eating a plant-based diet lead to better health?
A) It frees people from any known link to cancer.B) It provides all the nutrients for staying healthy.C) It helps maintain normal blood pressure and blood sugar.D) It reduces various health risks posed by meat consumption.•题目翻译:为什么吃植物性饮食的习惯能带来更健康的身体?•定位:根据关键词plant-based diet和better health定位到第四、五段。•解析:第四段提到植物肉不含胆固醇,且是维生素、矿物质等的良好来源;第五段指出红肉与癌症相关,而不食用肉类的人血压、平均血糖和胆固醇水平更低。由此可知,植物性饮食能减少肉类带来的健康风险,D项是对原文的概括总结,故选D。原文只提及红肉与癌症有关联,未提及植物肉能完全消除癌症风险,A项内容过于绝对,故排除。文章说素肉富含维生素、矿物质等,但并未说它提供了所有营养素,故排除B项。文章只提及不食用肉类的人血压、平均血糖更低,并未提及吃植物性饮食能帮助维持正常的血压和血糖,故排除C。55.What does the author recommend we eat at the end of the passage?
A) Naturally produced foods.B) Processed protein substitutes.C) Red meats like traditional beef.D) New generations of alternate meat.•定位:根据关键词at the end of the passage定位到最后一段。•解析:最后一段作者指出,这些新一代替代肉类备受关注,但也别忘了全谷物和蔬菜。作者还指出,豆类是极佳的蛋白质替代品,它们营养丰富、价格实惠。这些都说明作者建议人们吃天然食物,故选A。作者批评加工素肉钠含量高,且建议用天然豆类替代,故排除B项。作者指出了红肉的健康风险,明确反对红肉,故排除C项。作者认为新一代替代肉类仍是加工品,应优先选择天然食物,故排除D项。
