obloquy

continuestoday—I’vebeentargetedmyself.(批評者稱乘客為“冒險者”或“沒頭腦的人”，記者們強烈批評媒體將焦點放在富有的探險者身上，而不是愛琴海中700名溺水遇難者。這種……今天仍在繼續(xù)，我自己也成為了目標)”可知，前文講述了社會各界的批評，所以“obloquy”指的是社會的批評。故選B?！?6題詳析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“YetIdefendhumanity’sdrivetoexplore—thehands-on,unpredictablepursuitthatsentustothemoonandacrossoceans.Withoutsuchexploration,scientistscan’tconfirmtheories;norcanjournalistssharerealstories.

(然而，我捍衛(wèi)人類探索的動力——這種親身實踐、不可預測的追求讓我們登上月球、跨越海洋。沒有這樣的探索，科學家無法證實種種理論；記者也無法分享真實的故事）”以及最后一段“Thepathtoknowledgeischallenging,filledwithsetbacksandfailures.It’scostlyandoftenunrewarding,butthat’sexactlywhyitmatters.(通往知識的道路充滿挑戰(zhàn)，挫折與失敗并存。它代價高昂且常常沒有回報，但這正是它重要的原因)”可知，作者通過權衡深海探索的風險和其對科學家、記者等的重要意義來為其價值辯護。故選C。【27題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Throughmanyattemptsandmistakes,I’velearned:Totrulydescribeasubject,youmustencounterit.Discoveryrequiresbeingpresent.(通過多次嘗試和錯誤，我明白了：要真正描述一個事物，你必須親身經歷它。發(fā)現(xiàn)需要身臨其境)”可知，作者認為對于發(fā)現(xiàn)來說，直接參與是至關重要的。故選D。CCuttingcarbonemissions(排放)isnotenoughtokeepglobalwarmingtolessthan1.5℃—thegoalofthe2015ParisAgreementonclimatechange.Notanymore,atleast.Asaresult,hundredsofstart-upstryingtoremovegreenhousegasesfromtheairandwaterhavesprungupwithinthepastfewyears.Whileland-basedcarbondioxideremovalprojectshavebeenundergoingtestinganddevelopmentfordecades,ocean-basedcarbonremovalismorerecentinthepushtofightagainstclimatechange.Andoneoftheleadersinthatfield—Equatic—isabouttoincreaseitseffortsinabigway.WhatbeganthreeyearsagoasaUSDepartmentofEnergy-fundedresearchprojectoutoftheUniversityofCaliforniaLosAngeleshasalreadygrownintoapairofpilotprojectsinLosAngelesandSingapore.Andnow,thecompanyhasitssightssetonbuildingamassivemarinecarboncapture(海洋碳捕獲)facilityinQuebec.Theprocessforcapturingcarbonbeginsbypumpingseawaterintoatankandthenusinganelectricalcurrenttobreakdownthewaterintooxygen(O2)andhydrogen(H2)gasesandasolution,whichisthenreactedwiththeair,pullingcarbondioxideoutoftheatmosphereandchemicallytransformingitintotwobyproducts.One,calciumcarbonate,isawhitepowder.Theotherisasolutionthatgetsreleasedbackintotheocean.TheproposedQuebecplantdifferssignificantlyfromEquatic’sexistingfacilities.ItsSingaporeanpilotfacilitycanprocess4,000tonnesofcarboneachyear.TheplannedQuebecfacility,meanwhile,willbecapableofprocessing110,000tonnesannually—aboutasmuchcarbonasisemittedby24,000cars.Ultimately,though,theyoungindustryisfullofuncertainties.Sofar,researchonmarinecarbonremovalhasbeenbasedonlabexperimentsandtrials.SoasEquatic’splannedQuebecplantmovesahead,scientistswillbewatchingtolearnmoreaboutitsenvironmentalimpactandaboutjusthoweffectivemarinecarbondioxideremovalcanreallybe.28.WhatcanweknowaboutEquaticfromthefirsttwoparagraphs?A.Itstartedasauniversityresearchproject.B.Itisaland-basedcarbonremovalproject.C.Ithasundergonetestsfordecades.D.Itisastart-uplocatedinQuebec.29.Whatisparagraph3mainlyabout?A.Environmentalimpactsofcarbonremoval.B.Comparativeanalysisofremovalmethods.C.EconomicadvantagesofQuebecfacility.D.Equatic’scarboncapturemechanism.30.WhatsetstheproposedQuebecplantapart?A.Itslocation.

C。【33題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Theyhadincreasedgreymatterintheorbitofrontalcortex(OFC),thebrainarealinkedtodecision-makingandemotionalregulation,andinthecerebellum,whichplaysaroleinmovementandemotions.(他們的眶額葉皮層（OFC）——這個與決策制定和情緒調節(jié)相關的腦區(qū)，以及在運動和情緒方面發(fā)揮作用的小腦，其灰質有所增加)”可知，研究的主要發(fā)現(xiàn)之一是決策區(qū)域灰質增加。故選D。【34題詳析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Amajorshortcomingofthestudyisitscross-sectionaldesign.Ifthegoalweretoprovethatwatchinghoursofshortvideosharmsthebrain,amoreeffectiveapproachwouldbetoexamineparticipants’brainsbeforeandaftertheyconsumeddifferentamountsofthesupposedlyharmfulcontent.Yetthestudywascross-sectional,meaningitonlyreliedondatafromasingletimepoint.Therewasnobefore-and-aftercomparisontoshowcauseandeffect.(該這項研究的一個主要缺點是它的橫截面設計。如果目的是證明觀看數(shù)小時的短視頻對大腦有害，那么更有效的方法是在參與者觀看不同數(shù)量的所謂有害內容之前和之后檢查他們的大腦。然而，這項研究是橫向的，這意味著它只依賴于一個時間點的數(shù)據(jù)。沒有前后對比來顯示因果關系)”可知，作者質疑該研究的設計主要是因為它未能建立因果關系。故選C?！?5題詳析】主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，文章主要介紹“brainrot（腦腐）”被評為2024年牛津年度詞匯，天津師范大學的一項新研究表明過度觀看網上“不重要或無挑戰(zhàn)性”內容可能真會導致人的精神狀態(tài)衰退。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)?？炊桃曨l的學生大腦結構有明顯差異，似乎表明“腦腐”有一定真實性，構成威脅，但該研究存在局限性，比如采用橫斷面設計，無法證明因果關系，“腦腐”可能只是過度擔憂。結合倒數(shù)第二段“Despitethealarmingimplications,thestudyhaslimitations.Similarconcernsabouttechnology’simpactonthebrainhavesurfacedbefore,suchasclaimsthatdigitalmediahaveposedanexistentialthreat.Yet,noconclusiveevidencehasproventhesefearstrue.ProfessorPeterEtchellsarguesthere’snosolidscienceshowingshortvideosuniquelyharmthebrain.(盡管研究結果暗示的影響令人擔憂，但其仍存在局限性。此前，人們也曾對科技對大腦的影響提出過類似擔憂，例如有觀點稱數(shù)字媒體已構成生存威脅。然而，尚無確鑿證據(jù)證實這些擔憂是真實的。彼得?埃切爾斯教授認為，沒有可靠的科學依據(jù)表明短視頻會對大腦造成獨特的傷害)”可知，短文的最佳標題為“腦腐：真實威脅還是過度擔憂？”故選A。第二節(jié)(共5小題;每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后的選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。Bymyearly40s,Ihadtriedeveryhobbymeanttoeasethetransition(過渡)intomiddleage:learninganewlanguage,anabandonedproject,andevenyoga.____36____So,inamomentoflow-gradedesperation,Idecidedtotryballet.“Butyou’renotveryflexible,”myhusbandgentlyremindedme.Hewasn’twrong.Myhistorywithphysicalactivities—badminton,cycling,swimming—hadn’texactlybeenpromising.____37____BeforemyfirstclassattheNationalBalletSchoolinToronto,Igrabbedaheadbandfrommydrawer.IwasclearlyawarethatIwasgoingtostandinfrontofamirrorwithallmypostural(體態(tài)的)problemsondisplay.____38____Ididn’texpectmuchfromtheclass,buttomysurprise,thethingsthathaddrivenmeawayasa10-year-oldnowbroughtmejoy:therepetitiveexercises,thephysicaleffort,andtheteacher’scriticaleye.ThoughIexpectedmylegstoache,whatIdidn’texpectwashowmyteacher’scommandto“takeupmorespace”wouldchangemywayofbeingintheworld.____39____Asawriter,thisfeltlikethebestadviceI’deverreceived.____40____At50,I’maballerina—notthekindyou’dseeonstage,butsomeonewhomovesandbreatheswithpurpose,marveling(驚嘆于)atmybody’spossibilities,imperfectionsandall.A.Nothingseemedtostick.B.ThenImightaswelldoitinstyle.C.Ihadexpectedmyclassestobephysicallydemanding.D.Now,I’mwhatyoumightcallalifelongadvancedbeginner.E.IquicklyrealisedballetrequiredmoredisciplinethanIhad.F.ButIdeterminedtoprovemybodycouldstillmovewithelegance.G.Ballet,heremindedme,isn’taboutperfection,butworkingtowardsit.【答案】36.A37.F38.B39.G40.D【語篇解讀】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章講述了作者人到中年嘗試多種愛好無果后，決定嘗試芭蕾，雖不被丈夫看好，但上課后收獲了快樂，50歲時成了終身的進階初學者?！?6題詳析】上文“Bymyearly40s,Ihadtriedeveryhobbymeanttoeasethetransition(過渡)intomiddleage:learninganewlanguage,anabandonedproject,andevenyoga.(到我40歲出頭的時候，我嘗試了每一種旨在緩解向中年過渡的愛好：學習一門新語言，一個半途而廢的項目，甚至瑜伽。)”提到作者嘗試了多種愛好。A選項“Nothingseemedtostick.(似乎沒有一種愛好能堅持下來。)”承接上文，說明沒有持續(xù)下去這一結果，與下文情緒“amomentoflow-gradedesperation”相照應，上下文語意連貫。故選A項。【37題詳析】上文“Hewasn’twrong.Myhistorywithphysicalactivities—badminton,cycling,swimming—hadn’texactlybeenpromising.(他說得沒錯。我在體育活動方面的經歷——羽毛球、騎自行車、游泳——并不樂觀。)”表明作者在體育活動方面表現(xiàn)不佳。F選項“ButIdeterminedtoprovemybodycouldstillmovewithelegance.(但我決心證明我的身體仍然可以優(yōu)雅地移動。)”與上文構成轉折關系，體現(xiàn)了作者盡管之前體育活動經歷不好，但仍決定嘗試芭蕾，要證明自己身體能優(yōu)雅移動，符合邏輯。故選F項。【38題詳析】上文“IwasclearlyawarethatIwasgoingtostandinfrontofamirrorwithallmypostural(體態(tài)的)problemsondisplay.(我清楚地意識到，我將站在鏡子前，把我所有的體態(tài)問題都暴露無
