Wildlife photographer Ingo Arndt discovered his first enormous ant mound (蚁丘) as a child exploring the
forest with his father near their home almost 50 years ago. They were bird-watching and came around a bend in a
thickly wooded area when there it was: a five-foot-tall mound, standing upward like a large stalagmite (石笋).
Arndt wanted to investigate more closely, but a very particular smell suggested he rethink that. The air felt thick
and sharp, discomforting his nose. “All my life,” he says, “I could remember the smell.”
Several years later, Arndt moved to the countryside. He continued his fascination with the mounds and their
armies of tiny engineers. Outfitted with a high-resolution camera, he began photographing the mounds and sharing
his imagery with researchers for a scientific perspective. It turned out the mound makers were indeed special. They
were red wood ants — one of the smallest of all so-called keystone species. Keystone species such as elephants and
sharks are watched closely because their behaviors affect so many aspects of the ecosystem that if they disappeared,
it would struggle to adapt. Researchers also explained the smell from the mound. As the insects build a nest, they
generate formic acid (蚁酸), the origin of the smell, which helps to fight against enemies.
But in recent decades, the population of ants has been declining as the forests have fallen victim to logging,
urbanization, and wildfires, as well as drought and higher temperatures that have become more frequent with
climate change. This has led several countries across the ants’ range, including Germany, to enlist them as a
protected species by law.
Today Arndt’s photos put on display that as social insects, these small ants not only form complex societies,
but they also cohabitate with a wide variety of species, creating a mass of coexisting relationships across a variety
of plant and animal species. They are also a reminder that by protecting these unnoticed creatures, we are actually
protecting ourselves.
24. What can be inferred from Arndt’s first encounter with the ant mound?
A. He was frightened by the ants’ attack.
B. He realized the ecological importance of ants.
C. The unique smell left a deep impression on him.
D. It was the beginning of his career as a wildlife photographer.
25. What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. The ecosystem B. The disappearance of keystone species
C. The behavior of red wood ants D. The adaptation ability of the ecosystem
26. Which of the following is the main cause of the decline in ant population?
A. The increase in natural enemies.
B. The destruction of their living environment.
C. The change of their formic acid production.
D. The competition with other keystone species.
27. What is the author’s main purpose in writing this text?
A. To introduce the life habits of red wood ants.
B. To show the influence of wildlife photography on science.
C. To call on people to protect small but important species.
D. To explain the relationship between ants and the ecosystem.
C
It’s a classic complaint in relationships, especially romantic ones: “She said she was okay with me forgetting
her birthday! Then why is she throwing dishes in the kitchen? Are the two things related? ”
The answer is YES. Communication is more than words. It’s how those words are said, the tone, the order,
even the choice of a particular word. It’s multi-dimensional, as explored by Deirdre Wilson and Dan Sperber in
Meaning and Relevance. Consider the following example: Peter got angry and Mary left; Mary left and Peter got
angry. Though identical in words, their meanings differ completely. The first one may have us thinking: Wow, Peter
must get angry often if Mary leaves. The second sentence suggests that Peter wants more from Mary. Same words
— a totally different context.
Human language is not a code (编码). True codes have a one-to-one relationship with meaning. One sound,
one definition. This is what we see with animals. Wilson and Sperber explain that “coded communication works
best when emitter (发出者) and receiver share exactly the same code. ” Not so for humans. We communicate more
than the definitions of our words would suggest. This is inferential communication, and it means that we
understand not only the words spoken, but the context in which they are spoken. .
Irony (反语) is a great example of how powerfully we can communicate context with a few simple words. It is
more than just stating the opposite. For example, when Mary says, after a boring party, “That was fun”, she is
neither saying literally that the party was fun nor saying “ironically” that the party was boring. Rather, she is
expressing an emotion. Three words replace paragraphs, showcasing language’s efficiency.
Wilson and Sperber concluded that human language developed and became so powerful because of two
unique abilities of humans: language and the power to try to interpret mental states of others. We look for context
for the words we hear. And we should be very good at absorbing this context to infer meaning.
28. What does the example of Peter and Mary in Paragraph 2 illustrate?
A. The order of words can change the meaning of a sentence.
B. People often misunderstand each other’s words.
C. The same words can have different definitions.
D. Tone is an important part of communication.
29. How is human language different from animal communication according to the text?
A. Human language has a one - to - one relationship with meaning.
B. Human language requires understanding the context of words.
C. Animal communication is more efficient than human language.
D. Animal communication involves more non - verbal elements.
30. What does Mary’s statement “That was fun” after a boring party show about irony?
A. It shows that irony is the opposite of the literal meaning.
B. It proves that irony can express complex emotions concisely.
C. It indicates that irony is difficult for people to understand.
D. It suggests that irony should be used carefully in communication.
31. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Irony plays an important role in human communication.
B. Human language is more complex than we think.
C. Context matters a lot in understanding human communication.
D. People should improve their communication skills.
D
Imagine waking up one morning to find your smartphone missing. You can no longer get guided to work,
order your coffee, or connect with friends. For most of us, it is a nightmare（噩梦）. But it should not be exactly
far-fetched.
Despite being more digitally connected than ever, we are lonelier and more anxious. Anxiety rates increased
by 25% globally. Depression now affects over 280 million people worldwide. All of this is due to our growing
dependence on social media and smart technologies designed to offer quick relief but often at the expense of deep,
meaningful engagement, which may further cause our loss of something easy to be ignored.
While these conveniences offer short-term relief they may weaken our thinking skills. For example, GPS has
undeniably transformed how we travel. But a 2020 study found that frequent GPS users struggle more with self-
guided navigation. Over time, those who depended more on GPS showed a sharp decline in spacial memory and
problem-solving skills. However, reducing dependence on these conveniences can lead to discomfort. In seeking
comfort today, we might be trading away some discomfort.
That is the problem: the very discomfort we avoid is often what strengthens us. Viewing stress, a kind of
discomfort, as a challenge rather than a threat leads to better outcomes. Research shows that mild stress can
enhance adaptability. Neuroscience（神经科学
）reveals that neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to form new
connections—is enhanced through challenging experiences. This adaptability is crucial for developing resilience,
（抗逆力）, a process fueled by both mental challenges and active effort.
But this doesn't mean we should reject comfort entirely; it's to balance it with intentional discomfort. Think of
it as “microdosing hardship”—a series of small, manageable difficulties that keep our mental and emotional
muscles strong, such as writing with a pen, or washing dishes by hand. These small acts are enough to reawaken the
resilience we've buried under layers of ease. So, the next time you feel the pull of ease, pause. Ask yourself: Is this
momentary comfort helping me grow or is it keeping me stuck? Choosing discomfort isn't easy, but sometimes, it's
worth it.
32. What does the underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Unlikely B. Unforgettable C. Unreasonable D. Unbelievable
33. What is the main problem caused by digital conveniences according to the text?
A. They increase people’s dependence on technology.
B. They reduce people’s ability to deal with real - life problems.
C. They weaken people’s thinking and problem - solving skills.
D. They make people more lonely and anxious in social life.
34. Which of the following belongs to “microdosing hardship”?
A. Buying food online instead of going to the supermarket.
B. Listening to music on the phone while doing housework.
C. Choosing to walk for 30 minutes every day instead of driving.
D. Using a calculator to do simple arithmetic problems.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Dark Side of Digital Conveniences
B. The Importance of Resilience in Modern Life
C. How to Balance Comfort and Discomfort
D. Discomfort: a Path to Strengthen Mental Resilience

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
We all know that first impressions are important and that they are lasting. That’s why we work hard to make
great first impressions. ___36___
First impressions might overshadow your abilities. When you are hired in an organization, a set of inferences
are made about you. Making inferences is human nature. If you become known for your attention to details, you
may never be seen as someone who can see the big picture. If you are the person who organizes all of the birthday
celebrations, you may never be seen as management material. ___37___
First impressions can stamp you forever, often pre-determining the path of your career and how far you will be
able to advance your career. These perceptions paint a picture of who people think you are. ___38___ This, in
large part, is why your careers are held back, why you become frustrated, dissatisfied and even want to leave the
present position.
But it doesn’t have to come to that if you can unlock hidden aspects of your value. Talk about what you are
reading or a project you are working on at home with coworkers and your manager when appropriate. This can
demonstrate other skills you possess. Embrace (接受) new things and become knowledgeable about your company
and industry. ___39___ Volunteer in your company. It is a good way to give yourself the opportunity for others to
see you in a way that is outside of your defined role.
___40___ As people get to know you better, they will recognize your diverse interests and capabilities,
potentially opening new doors for career advancement.
A. This can help you stand out from your colleagues.
B. However, first impressions can sometimes limit your career development.
C. Therefore, you should always be careful with your words and behaviors.
D. In other words, they create labels that are hard to change.
E. By doing so, you can show different aspects of your value to others.
F. You can also participate in industry-related seminars and workshops.
G. Thus, you should focus on building good relationships with your colleagues.
