In the summer of 2017, as a sophomore biology major at the University of Washington, I
eagerly joined a campus research institute project studying urban wildlife. I had imagined thrilling
fieldwork filled with profound, immediate scientific breakthroughs, using complex laboratory
equipment to change the world. Instead, my first three weeks saw me sitting on cold park benches
for six hours a day, registering the seemingly repetitive movements of urban crows. Frustrated,
soaked by the Seattle rain, and utterly exhausted, I began to seriously doubt my academic career
path. I felt like a glorified bird-watcher rather than a real scientist doing meaningful work, and
my initial enthusiasm quickly yielded to deep disappointment.
One rainy afternoon, my research mentor, Dr. Aris, read my growing impatience as I stared
blankly at my messy figures. Without a word, he handed me a worn, yellowed notebook from his
own undergraduate days back in 1998. It was filled with hundreds of pages of detailed, messy
drawings of ordinary tree bark（树皮）. "Science isn't always about the grand, dramatic
discoveries," he said gently, seeing my confusion. "True science is built on the quiet patience of
noticing what everyone else ignores. The magic is in the details." His words hit me hard. I realized
I had been so obsessed with chasing a massive breakthrough that I had completely forgotten how
to truly observe.
That slight shift in my thinking changed everything. The next day, I stopped viewing the
crows as identical, boring data points. Instead, I began to recognize their distinct personalities
and incredible problem-solving skills. By the end of August, our team successfully identified a
unique pattern in how these birds used city traffic rhythms to crack open nuts, a finding which
later became the highlight of our institute's annual report. Looking back, that summer project
taught me my most valuable academic lesson: real research requires not just academic passion,
but the deep modesty to embrace the slow, everyday discipline behind it.
24. Why did the author feel frustrated in the first three weeks of the project?
A. The lab equipment was complex. B. Dr. Aris gave little guidance.
C. Bad weather ruined data sheets. D. The field tasks felt pointless.
25. What does the underlined phrase "yielded to" mean in paragraph 1?
A. Turned into B. Ran after C. Combined with D. Competed against
26. What can we infer about Dr. Aris from paragraph 2?
A. He studied crows as an undergraduate B. He had struggled with impatience before
C. He preferred silent teaching methods D. He thought the author was unqualified
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. How Urban Crows Use Traffic to Their Advantage

The Silent Agreement: Revealing Pluralistic Ignorance
In our daily social interactions, we often pride ourselves on being independent thinkers, yet
social psychology reveals a worrying, widespread phenomenon known as "pluralistic ignorance."
This distinct psychological bias（偏差）occurs when a majority of individuals within a group
privately reject a certain rule or belief, yet incorrectly assume that virtually everyone else
enthusiastically champions it. Consequently, individuals publicly follow a behavior they secretly
disagree with simply to avoid social judgment, thus creating a false agreement that blinds the
entire community into silent acceptance.
To investigate this subtle（微妙的）social process, behavioral researchers analyzed a
familiar academic situation: the widespread hesitation of students to ask questions during a
complex lecture. In a controlled study, a professor intentionally delivered a highly confusing,
theoretically incomprehensible presentation to 200 undergraduates. When the speaker paused to
invite questions, not a single hand was raised. Later, private surveys revealed that while nearly
every student was deeply confused, they wrongly concluded that their peers understood the
material perfectly and that they alone were uniquely incompetent.
This systematic misinterpretation arises from a natural, structural difference in human
understanding. Social psychologists emphasize that while we have direct access to our own inner
doubts, anxieties, and felt weaknesses, we can only observe the calm, controlled external air of
our company. We naturally mistake their passive silence for confident comprehension. This
psychological gap drives a continuous cycle: because everyone deliberately masks their confusion
to protect their reputation, the false belief of universal agreement is continuously strengthened,
keeping the group firmly united in private dissatisfaction.
Beyond the classroom, pluralistic ignorance explains profound societal challenges, ranging
from the continuation of unhealthy business cultures to the tragic hesitation of bystanders during
public emergencies. It demonstrates that following the crowd is frequently fueled not by shared
values, but by a collective fear of social isolation. Ultimately, analyzing this phenomenon
highlights the transformative value of individual honesty; by simply choosing to speak up, a
single courageous individual can destroy the collective false belief, instantly liberating others
from the invisible control of false agreement.
28. According to paragraph 2, why did no student raise a hand during the lecture?
A. They collectively accepted the difficult presentation.
B. Their peers understood the material perfectly.
C. The speaker completely refused student questions.
D. They feared negative opinions from classmates.

学科网（北京）股份有限公司29. According to paragraph 3, what drives the cycle of pluralistic ignorance?
A. The gap between inner doubts and outward calm
B. People's lack of logical reasoning ability
C. The desire for social recognition and praise
D. A shared lack of interest in group rules
30. What is the author's attitude toward individual honesty in the text?
A. Doubtful B. Approving C. Neutral D. Cautious
31. What is the main purpose of paragraph 4 in the text?
A. To provide more experimental evidence for the theory
B. To criticize people who follow the crowd
C. To show pluralistic ignorance has broader social impact
D. To compare business culture with classroom behavior
D
In our increasingly digitized society, the change from paper to pixels（像素）is widely
celebrated as a massive victory for environmental conservation. We naturally assume that storing
documents in "the cloud" or streaming entertainment effortlessly reduces our carbon footprint.
However, emerging research from the past decade reveals a disturbing problem: our virtual world
relies on a massive, energy-hungry physical infrastructure. The cloud is not an invisible, weightless
place, but rather a global network of massive server plants that consume enormous amounts of
electricity and water every single day.
To understand this hidden environmental crisis, researchers have closely examined the
infrastructure behind our internet habits. Studies published around 2019 indicate that data centers
worldwide are responsible for roughly two percent of global greenhouse gas emissions—a figure
mirroring the emissions of the entire pre-pandemic airline industry. The primary cause is not just
powering the billions of microchips housed inside, but the constant cooling systems required to
prevent these facilities from overheating. As we demand faster connections and higher-quality
streaming, the environmental pressure taxes local power networks and water supplies.
Furthermore, this serious technological challenge is deeply worsened by our collective lack
of digital awareness. Because we cannot easily see the physical pollution generated by a single
sent email or automatic cloud backup, we tend to accumulate infinite amounts of invisible digital
waste without a second thought. This psychological disconnection effectively prevents us from
recognizing that streaming a high-definition video contributes directly to carbon emissions
through a distant, power-hungry server farm.
Ultimately, resolving this crisis does not demand a blind rejection of modern technology,
but rather a fundamental shift in how we design and use it. Tech corporations must invest heavily
in renewable energy sources to feed their networks, while individual consumers need to develop
digital awareness in their daily lives. True sustainability in the modern era cannot be achieved by
merely replacing physical objects with digital alternatives, but by actively managing the invisible
高三年级英语科试卷 第6页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司costs of our connected lives.
32. According to paragraph 2, what is the primary cause of data centers' energy consumption?
A. The demand for faster internet speeds
B. The growing number of streaming users worldwide
C. Poor construction of server facilities
D. Both powering chips and running cooling systems
33. What can we infer about most people's view of cloud storage from paragraph 3?
A. They see it as environmentally harmless B. They are worried about data security risks
C. They prefer it to physical storage devices D. They are aware of its hidden energy costs
34. According to paragraph 4, what are individual consumers expected to do?
A. Invest in renewable energy sources B. Develop awareness of their digital habits
C. Reject the use of modern technology D. Replace physical objects with digital ones
35. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Data centers give off heavy greenhouse gases.
B. Streaming entertainment causes severe carbon pollution.
C. Technology firms must build greener networks.
D. Virtual storage carries unseen environmental costs.

The Simple Habit That Boosts Memory and Attention
When you walk down the street, do you really see the sights along the way? Those details
are easily missed in our busy, screen-filled world. ____36_____
“Attention is the most crucial factor when it comes to memory. What you pay attention to
is what you remember,” says Dr. Andrew Budson from Harvard Medical School. Fortunately,
there is an easy way to improve both: a practice called mindfulness.
What is mindfulness?
_____37_____ It involves being fully aware of everything around you and within you—
sights, sounds, smells, feelings, and thoughts. It is not necessary to judge or analyze this
information, only to observe it as it comes and goes.
This practice triggers the relaxation response, which reduces stress hormones like adrenaline
and cortisol. Lowering these hormones helps reduce heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing.
_____38_____
“When adrenaline puts you in a fight-or-flight state, it helps you remember what is stressing
you out, but at the expense of everything else,” Dr. Budson explains. “Without stress hormones,
the mind can focus on what you really need to remember.”
_____39_____
Many studies show that mindfulness improves concentration and well-being. For example,
高三年级英语科试卷 第7页 共11页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司a 2021 study of 81 adults over 60 found that six months of mindfulness training helped them
maintain attention better. Participants also showed brain changes linked to improved focus.
Why it matters now.
Our brains age every day, making attention and memory a bit less sharp. Normal changes
cause brain cells to shift from learning new information to holding onto old knowledge. Small
injuries over time may also affect attention. _____40_____
By practicing mindfulness at home—sitting quietly, focusing on your breathing, or taking a
mindful walk—you will become more aware and better at remembering details.
A. Evidence for mindfulness.
B. Mechanism for mindfulness.
C. Reduced stress, in turn, leads to sharper thinking.
D. Mindfulness means focusing on the present moment.
E. Mindfulness requires hours of dedicated practice every day to be effective.
F. Practicing mindfulness can help fight these changes and make the most of your brain’s
abilities.
G. But they become increasingly important as we age and our attention and memory begin to
change.

Sumi is my sister. Her daughter Anna has always been called “Number 23.” Every time
exam results came out, Anna would rank 23rd in a class of 50. Always 23, no matter the subject
or term. Every time Sumi heard that nickname, it stung.
At work, Sumi’s clients often bragged about their children’s achievements—piano awards,
math contests, leadership honors. Sumi would just nod quietly, feeling a knot in her stomach. All
she could think about was Anna and her stubborn nickname.
One day, at a family gathering, the adults asked the children what they wanted to be when
they grew up and kids shouted big dreams: pianist, actor, boss. Anna silently helped—passing
cookies, pouring drinks. “And you?” a relative asked. She smiled, “I want to be a Montessori
teacher. I love dancing, singing, and playing with little kids.”
The room fell quiet. Sumi’s heart sank. She had tried everything to help Anna with school
—tutors, rewards, endless encouragement. Anna had tried too, giving up her drawing and
weekends to study. But she grew sick, lost her appetite, couldn’t sleep. Finally, Sumi gave up
pushing. She let Anna be herself. And Anna returned to the cheerful child she once was.
Weeks later, during a weekend trip, two boys got into a fierce quarrel over a piece of dessert.
One was a top English student, the other a Math Olympiad winner. No one could calm them
down. Anna stepped forward. “Let’s flip a coin,” she said. The problem was solved instantly.
Everyone stared in surprise. Later, stuck in traffic, the kids grew restless. Anna started telling
jokes and, using leftover candy boxes, folded paper animals—elephants, lions, birds—for
everyone as souvenirs. The other parents looked at her with admiration. For the first time in
years, Sumi felt pride rising in her chest.
Not long after, Anna’s teacher called Sumi. “Anna’s grades haven’t changed—she’s still in
高三年级英语科试卷 第10页 共11页
