Have you ever played a computer game for a long time and then kept seeing the game’s
images afterward? This happened to me with the classic shape-falling game Tetris (俄罗斯方块),
created in 1985 by Alexey Pajitnov.
Feeling stressed one evening, I turned on my Switch to find a game to play and relax with.
That’s when I discovered Tetris. Before I knew it, I was obsessed. Even when I stopped, my brain
was still playing, with the blocks falling in my mind. I started looking at objects in the real world
and thinking about how they could be moved and stacked together. I even dreamed about Tetris. I
was experiencing the common “Tetris effect”.
Introduced by journalist Jeffrey Goldsmith in his 1994 Wired magazine article called This Is
Your Brain on Tetris, the effect has been observed by psychologists and researchers. The lasting
images of Tetris are due to the “Zeigarnik effect”, in which people have better memories of
uncompleted tasks than those of completed ones. Tetris, being a game that technically never ends,
keeps you thinking of the game’s unfinished task, reported Tech Times. And the catchy music stays
with you, too.
There are also positives to the Tetris Effect. In his 1991 study, psychologist Richard Haier at
the University of California found that continuously playing Tetris resulted in the thickness of the
cerebral cortex (大脑皮层) increasing, which improves brain efficiency ( 效率), reported
psychology website Practical Pie. Haier’s discovery got Tetris put into the Guinness World Records
Video Gamer’s Edition 2008, as the “first video game to be proven to improve brain functioning
and efficiency”.
So, the next time you want to play a computer game, why not try the classic Tetris and see if it
improves your brain function? But be warned, you’ll likely be seeing falling blocks everywhere.
24. What does the underlined word “obsessed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. quite shocked. B. extremely interested. C. highly satisfied. D. very curious.
25. What can we learn about the “Tetris Effect” from the text?
A. It is connected to the way our memory works. B. It is an uncommon occurrence among
children.C. It can cause the “Zeigarnik effect”. D. It is primarily related to the game’s music.
26. What benefit can people get from continuously playing Tetris, according to Haier?
A. Improved memory. B. Lifted mood.
C. Better brain function. D. Fewer painful experiences.
27. What is the author’s tone in the last paragraph?
A. Serious. B. Amusing. C. Worried. D. Doubtful.
C
Many of us think, wrongly, that the moon doesn’t change. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet
Zhang Ruoxu once wrote that “Generations have come and passed away; From year to year the
moons look alike, old and new.”
However, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience shows that the moon is in
fact slowly reduced in size over time. For the study, a group of US scientists examined and
analyzed thousands of photographs taken by the NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera
(月球勘测轨道飞行器照相机). They found that there were lots of faults (断层) on the surface of
the moon. These faults were formed by recent movement on the moon.
According to NASA, the moon is made up of pieces of rocks with a hot core. The moon
continued to expand as it was born. But in this process, it released energy and cooled down. Then it
began to shrink, in away comparable to the shrinking of a grape into a raisin（葡萄干）. Over the
past several hundred million years, it has become 46 meters “skinnier”.
But due to its hard and rocky layer, the moon’s surface continues to push up. “Some of these
quakes can be fairly strong, around five on the Richter scale (里氏震级),” said Thomas Watters, a
senior scientist at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in the US.
But does that mean the moon is a dangerous place that human shouldn’t try to explore and live
on in the future? Maybe not, reported The Telegraph. “This isn’t anything to worry about. The
moon may becoming smaller, but not by much. It’s not going anywhere,” Watters comforted us.
The new discovery proves that the idea that the moon is a dead, boring place is wrong. “We
have been to the moon and we’ve done some great science, but there is still a lot we don’t know.
The moon is shrinking — we didn’t really realize that until recently. It’s a much more active and
interesting place than we thought and we should explore that,” NASA scientist Nathan Williams
said.
28. Which point of view about the moon may the writer agree to?
A. It stays the same as before. B. It is becoming slightly smaller.
C. It is getting older and older. D. It has passed away.
29. What can we learn about the moon from the third paragraph?
A. Its quake measures seven on the Richter scale.
B. It has become 46 meters fatter due to expanding.
C. It has a hot core and releases energy during expanding.
D. It has changed from a grape into a raisin in recent years.
30. What does Nathan Williams think of the moon?
A. It is a dead and boring place. B. It has lots of faults on the surface.
C. It is valuable to do more science. D. It isn’t a place where we can live.
31. Which of the following can be the most suitable title for the article?
A. “The Moon: A Stable and Boring Place”B. “The Changing Moon: A New Discovery”
C. “The Mysterious Moon: Faults and Quakes”
D. “Exploring the Moon: Dangers and Opportunities”
D
The internet provides access to a large amount of information. However, you might notice that
the same ideas or views frequently reappear on certain social media platforms. If this happens, be
cautious. You may be in what’s called an information cocoon (信息茧房) — a space where only
similar opinions spread.
This phenomenon, which has existed since the early eras of human culture, has been
significantly enlarged by the widespread use of social media. Imagine ancient people gathered
around a bonfire, sharing only stories and experiences that reinforced their collective worldview.
Today, the internet serves as the modern “bonfire”, with social media platforms connecting people
globally and enabling the sharing of thoughts and beliefs.
You might have noticed that social media advertising seems to “magically” understand your
interests, presenting ads that are surprisingly related. This is the result of complex algorithms (算
法) — sets of instructions designed to perform tasks or solve problems. Every time we click, like,
or share something, we leave a digital footprint that helps algorithms better understand our
interests, values and beliefs. Algorithms then use this information to provide content that meets our
interests.
Although information cocoons can provide a sense of belonging, they also bring some
negative effects. Engaging with others only within limited information space results in one-sided
individual’s viewpoint, making it hard for them to accept different views and discuss complex
issues. Information cocoons can also contribute to increasing division and anxiety, which further
divides societies. They make it unclear between facts and opinions. This weakness leaves us open
to misinformation, influencing both personal decisions and social energy.
Fortunately, there are many ways to break out of the information cocoon. Actively seeking
diverse information sources is very important for overcoming these limitations. This can involve
diversifying (使多样化) our social media content, reading articles from various views, and joining
meaningful discussions with people from different backgrounds. Besides, training critical thinking
skills is essential. We should check facts and remain open to changing our beliefs.
32. The information cocoon is increasingly becoming large because ________.
A. A great deal of information is provided.
B. A growing number of people turn to social media.
C. Various similar opinions spread in the information cocoon.
D. Stories and experiences are usually shared in people’s gatherings
33. Why does the author mention “algorithms” in Paragraph 3?
A. To analyze how social media impacts our preferences.
B. To indicate how algorithms perform tasks or problems.
C. To explain why we always read satisfying content on social media platforms.
D. To show why algorithms are important in affecting our decisions and beliefs.34. Which of the following is the negative effect of information cocoons?
A. A person sticking to his own opinion. B. A society filled with energy.
C. A person willing to join in discussions. D. A society full of various views.
35. What does the author advise us to do to get away from the information cocoon?
A. Voice our own views openly. B. Develop critical thinking ability.
C. Communicate with like-minded people. D. Search specific information sources.
