本文为一篇应用文。文章介绍了世界上四个不同国家的人庆祝新年的习俗。
21．根据Round everything (Philippines)部分中“Filipino culture celebrates the New Year by
serving twelve different fruits. Apples, melons, oranges, and grapes are popular picks, but any
round fruit will do. The round produce stands for wealth for each month of the upcoming year.
Locals also wear clothes with polka dots (圆点图案) on them and fill their pockets with round
coins.(菲律宾文化庆祝新年时提供12种不同的水果。苹果、甜瓜、橙子和葡萄是很受欢迎的
水果，但任何圆形水果都可以。圆形的农产品代表着来年每个月的财富。当地人也穿有圆点
的衣服，口袋里装满圆形的硬币)”可知，菲律宾人通过靠近圆形的东西来庆祝新年。故选D。
22．根据Throwingpaperoutthewindow(Argentina)部分的“Thereasonbehindthecustomisthat
Argentines throw out all their old documents and papers before the curtain falls on the year to
showthey’releavingthepastbehind.(这一习俗背后的原因是，阿根廷人在大幕落下之前扔掉
所有的旧文件和纸张，以表明他们正在把过去抛在身后)”可知，阿根廷人在12月31日扔掉旧
文件时为了离开过去的一年，迎接新的一年。故选C。
23．根据Breakingplatesintopieces(Denmark)部分的“IfyouwanttomakeanewDanishfriend
fortheNewYear,throwaplateagainsttheirdoor.(如果你想在新年结交一个新的丹麦朋友，向
他们的门扔一个盘子)”及“Danes alsojump off chairsto leapinto the New Year, andstayglued
to their TVs for Queen Margrethe’s yearly speech and a screening of black-and-white English
language comedy Dinner for One (known in Denmark as The 90th Birthday), which is also
popularinGermany.(丹麦人也会从椅子上跳起来迎接新年，守在电视机前观看玛格丽特女王
的年度演讲，以及观看黑白英语喜剧《一个人的晚餐》(在丹麦被称为《90岁生日》)，这部
电影在德国也很受欢迎)”可知，丹麦人会从椅子上跳起来，听女王新年演讲及向新朋友的门
上扔盘子来迎接新年，选项B“吃12个绿葡萄”不属于丹麦庆祝新年的传统。故选A。
B
本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在表达爱意的方式上，不同文化背景下的家庭有着截
然不同的习惯与理解。
24．根据第一段“Onedaythetopic turnedtosaying “Ilove you”. Iwas shockedto learnthatno
oneofmystudentshadsaidthistotheirmothers,norhadtheirmotherssaidittothem.(有一天，话
题转到了说“我爱你”。我很震惊地了解到，我的学生中没有人对他们的妈妈说过‘我爱你’，
他们的妈妈也没有对他们说过。）” 可知，外教震惊是因为她的学生和学生的妈妈之间都没
有对彼此说过 “我爱你”。故选D。
25．根据第二段“They answered that their moms cooked and always told them what they were
doing wrong to show their concern. I was surprised. “So Mom’s cooking and criticizing read out
as ‘I love you’? Then how do you say ‘I love you’ to her?” They agreed that getting good grades
andfindinggoodjobswouldbehowtheyshowedtheirlove.(他们回答说，他们的妈妈做饭，总
是告诉他们做错了什么，以表示他们的关心。我很惊讶。“所以妈妈的烹饪和批评被解读为‘我
爱你’？那你怎么对她说‘我爱你’呢？”他们一致认为，取得好成绩，然后找到好工作是他们
表达爱的方式)”可推知，中国人喜欢通过做一些有意义的事情来表达爱。故选B。
26．根据第四段“When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and
hugged(拥抱)her.Thishadneverhappenedbefore,buthermomsaid,“Nowthatyouhavegone,
Ihavemoretimetomyself.Inoticedthatinsomeplacesmothersandchildrenhugeachotherand
IdecideditwasagoodideaandthatIwouldbeginhuggingyou.”(当她从大学回家时，她妈妈在
门口迎接她并拥抱了她。这种情况以前从未发生过，但她的妈妈说：“你走了以后，我有更
多的时间属于自己。我注意到有些地方妈妈和孩子会互相拥抱，于是我觉得这是个好主意，
{#{QQABRQIl4gqYwAQACJ7KAwHwCgqQkJMTJaoOgRAYqAwKABNAFCA=}#}我也会开始拥抱你。”)”可知，在第四段中，女儿从大学回到家，妈妈出于想念和爱，拥抱
了女人，所以母亲拥抱的真正含义是她爱她的女儿，想念她。故选B。
27．根据最后一段“In my family we allsay“Ilove you” a lot. While it is true thatwe often say
thewordswithouthavinggreatdepth(深度)offeelingsatthatmoment,itisalmostlikeablessing
(祝福语)wegiveeachother.Thosethreelittlewordscarryaworldofmeaning,evenwhensaidas
agreeting, butmost especiallyif theyarethe lastwords we sayto orhearfrom those we love.(在
我家，我们都经常说“我爱你”。虽然我们经常说的话在那一刻没有很深的感情是事实，这几
乎就像我们给对方的祝福。即使是作为问候，这三个小字也意味深长，尤其是当它们是我们
对所爱的人说的最后一句话或听到的最后一句话时)”结合文章主要说明了作者在中国当外
教时发现，中国父母和孩子不应该表达对彼此的爱，而是通过做一些有意义的事情，作者建
议多和家人表达爱意。可知，这篇文章的主旨是对家人多说“我爱你”。故选C。
C
这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了《YesMeansYes,EverythingElseMeansNo》这本可
以增强读者决策力的书。
28. 由文章第二段中“Another rule stressed in the book is simplicity in decision-making. By
adopting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related
factors,andavoidunnecessaryaspects,enablingquickerjudgmentsandswifterconclusions.(书中
强调的另一条规则是决策的简单性。通过采用简化，决策者获取关键信息，关注最相关的因
素，避免不必要的方面，从而更快地判断和更快地得出结论。)”可知，这本书建议读者专注
于相关的事情。故选A。
29. 由文章第三段“Thebookisapracticalguidetoenhancedecision-makingskills. Theauthor
doesn’t merely express the philosophy but equips readers with the tools they need to apply
effectively. Fromtechniquestogivepreferencetotaskstomethodsforavoidingdistractions(分
心),thebookoffersskills for simplifyingthedecision-making process.(这本书是提高决策能力
的实用指南。作者不仅表达了哲学，还为读者提供了有效应用所需要的工具。从优先处理任
务的技巧到避免分心的方法，这本书提供了简化决策过程的技巧。)”可知，这本书提供了使
读者具备决策能力的有效工具，所以是读者的实用指南。故选A。
30. 由文章第四段“Throughpersonalexperiences,Mullendeterminedthepowerofsimplification,
guiding people to make decisions according to one’s own values and desires. Beyond individual
context, this book also influences business strategies, relationship dynamics, and societal
considerations. Mullen not only explores the essence of “yes means yes” but stresses the
significanceofmakingcleardecisionsatacrossroads.(通过个人经历，马伦确定了简化的力量，
引导人们根据自己的价值观和欲望做出决定。除了个人背景，这本书也影响商业战略，关系
动态，和社会的考虑。马伦不仅探讨了“是就是是”的本质，还强调了在十字路口做出明确决
定的重要性。)”可知，本段主要陈述了强调清晰（简化）的好处。故选D。
31. 通读全文，尤其是由文章最后一段““YesMeans Yes,Everything ElseMeans No”is more
than a book; it’s a philosophy that can change how we approach decisions. For those seeking to
guide life with clarity and purpose, this book is a guiding light in the fog of in decision. (《Yes
MeansYes,EverythingElseMeansNo》不仅仅是一本书；这是一种可以改变我们做决定方式
的哲学。对于那些寻求用清晰和目标来引导生活的人来说，这本书是在迷茫中指引方向的明
灯。)”可知，这篇文章的目的是推荐《YesMeansYes,EverythingElseMeansNo》这本书。
故选B。
D
本文是说明文。介绍了名为CXR的新系统的使用场景、设计目的以及作用。
{#{QQABRQIl4gqYwAQACJ7KAwHwCgqQkJMTJaoOgRAYqAwKABNAFCA=}#}32．根据第一段“Passengers were transported into a place where virtual and real environments
met. There they experienced nine shocking scenes showing the impact of climate change,
especiallyrisingfloodwaters.(乘客被运送到一个虚拟和真实环境相遇的地方。在那里，他们
经历了9个令人震惊的场景，展示了气候变化的影响，尤其是不断上涨的洪水)”以及第三段
“The technology helps people understand serious challenges like climate change.(这项技术帮助
人们了解气候变化等严峻挑战)”可知，CXR系统的主要功能是提高对气候问题的认识。故选
D项。
33．根据前文“Scientific models suggest that a 100-year flood could cover most of Roosevelt
Island. Despite the warning, research shows that such a disaster doesn’t feel real to many in the
public.(科学模型表明，百年一遇的洪水可能会覆盖罗斯福岛的大部分地区。尽管有这样的
警告，但研究表明，对公众来说，这样的灾难并不真实)”可知，科学模型和公众认知存在差
异，是CXR系统要解决的问题，推知discrepancy应是“差异”之意，和D项意思相近。故选C
项。
34．根据第三段“AndtheCXRsystemprovedtodomorethanjusteducatepeopleaboutdisaster
risks.(事实证明，CXR系统所做的不仅仅是教育人们了解灾害风险)”和第四段“We did find
that people got worried, but we also noted that the worry seemed to inspire people to take
measures.It’sagoodresultfromourviewpoint.(我们确实发现人们感到担忧，但我们也注意到，
这种担忧似乎激励人们采取措施。在我们看来，这是一个很好的结果)”可知，CXR系统的体
验是有教育意义和鼓舞人心的。故选B项。

划中发挥重要作用。通过对建议的更改提供清晰和现实的展示，它有助于减少误解。这鼓励

语言。你怎么知道狗狗是想和你打招呼还是让你走开？)”可知，本句承上启下，启示后文列

语境，故选E。
37．根据上文“Acontentandrelaxeddogwillhaveitsearsup(notforward)andheadhigh.(一只
满足和放松的狗会竖起耳朵（而不是向前），把头抬高)”以及后文“Yourrelaxeddog’smouth

{#{QQABRQIl4gqYwAQACJ7KAwHwCgqQkJMTJaoOgRAYqAwKABNAFCA=}#}子).(在这种受欢迎的互动之后，狗可能会抬起尾巴，放下前爪。)”可知，本句承接上文，说

把尾巴藏在双腿之间。他们被激怒时随时准备攻击。小心这些不寻常的姿势。这些信号是在

语言信号。故G选项“有时狗会表现出愤怒和暴力的行为。”符合语境，故选F。
