obloquy

continuestoday—I’vebeentargetedmyself.(批评者称乘客为“冒险者”或“没头脑的人”，记者们强烈批评媒体将焦点放在富有的探险者身上，而不是爱琴海中700名溺水遇难者。这种……今天仍在继续，我自己也成为了目标)”可知，前文讲述了社会各界的批评，所以“obloquy”指的是社会的批评。故选B。【26题详析】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“YetIdefendhumanity’sdrivetoexplore—thehands-on,unpredictablepursuitthatsentustothemoonandacrossoceans.Withoutsuchexploration,scientistscan’tconfirmtheories;norcanjournalistssharerealstories.

(然而，我捍卫人类探索的动力——这种亲身实践、不可预测的追求让我们登上月球、跨越海洋。没有这样的探索，科学家无法证实种种理论；记者也无法分享真实的故事）”以及最后一段“Thepathtoknowledgeischallenging,filledwithsetbacksandfailures.It’scostlyandoftenunrewarding,butthat’sexactlywhyitmatters.(通往知识的道路充满挑战，挫折与失败并存。它代价高昂且常常没有回报，但这正是它重要的原因)”可知，作者通过权衡深海探索的风险和其对科学家、记者等的重要意义来为其价值辩护。故选C。【27题详析】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Throughmanyattemptsandmistakes,I’velearned:Totrulydescribeasubject,youmustencounterit.Discoveryrequiresbeingpresent.(通过多次尝试和错误，我明白了：要真正描述一个事物，你必须亲身经历它。发现需要身临其境)”可知，作者认为对于发现来说，直接参与是至关重要的。故选D。CCuttingcarbonemissions(排放)isnotenoughtokeepglobalwarmingtolessthan1.5℃—thegoalofthe2015ParisAgreementonclimatechange.Notanymore,atleast.Asaresult,hundredsofstart-upstryingtoremovegreenhousegasesfromtheairandwaterhavesprungupwithinthepastfewyears.Whileland-basedcarbondioxideremovalprojectshavebeenundergoingtestinganddevelopmentfordecades,ocean-basedcarbonremovalismorerecentinthepushtofightagainstclimatechange.Andoneoftheleadersinthatfield—Equatic—isabouttoincreaseitseffortsinabigway.WhatbeganthreeyearsagoasaUSDepartmentofEnergy-fundedresearchprojectoutoftheUniversityofCaliforniaLosAngeleshasalreadygrownintoapairofpilotprojectsinLosAngelesandSingapore.Andnow,thecompanyhasitssightssetonbuildingamassivemarinecarboncapture(海洋碳捕获)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.

ngandemotionalregulation,andinthecerebellum,whichplaysaroleinmovementandemotions.(他们的眶额叶皮层（OFC）——这个与决策制定和情绪调节相关的脑区，以及在运动和情绪方面发挥作用的小脑，其灰质有所增加)”可知，研究的主要发现之一是决策区域灰质增加。故选D。【34题详析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“Amajorshortcomingofthestudyisitscross-sectionaldesign.Ifthegoalweretoprovethatwatchinghoursofshortvideosharmsthebrain,amoreeffectiveapproachwouldbetoexamineparticipants’brainsbeforeandaftertheyconsumeddifferentamountsofthesupposedlyharmfulcontent.Yetthestudywascross-sectional,meaningitonlyreliedondatafromasingletimepoint.Therewasnobefore-and-aftercomparisontoshowcauseandeffect.(该这项研究的一个主要缺点是它的横截面设计。如果目的是证明观看数小时的短视频对大脑有害，那么更有效的方法是在参与者观看不同数量的所谓有害内容之前和之后检查他们的大脑。然而，这项研究是横向的，这意味着它只依赖于一个时间点的数据。没有前后对比来显示因果关系)”可知，作者质疑该研究的设计主要是因为它未能建立因果关系。故选C。【35题详析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍“brainrot（脑腐）”被评为2024年牛津年度词汇，天津师范大学的一项新研究表明过度观看网上“不重要或无挑战性”内容可能真会导致人的精神状态衰退。研究发现常看短视频的学生大脑结构有明显差异，似乎表明“脑腐”有一定真实性，构成威胁，但该研究存在局限性，比如采用横断面设计，无法证明因果关系，“脑腐”可能只是过度担忧。结合倒数第二段“Despitethealarmingimplications,thestudyhaslimitations.Similarconcernsabouttechnology’simpactonthebrainhavesurfacedbefore,suchasclaimsthatdigitalmediahaveposedanexistentialthreat.Yet,noconclusiveevidencehasproventhesefearstrue.ProfessorPeterEtchellsarguesthere’snosolidscienceshowingshortvideosuniquelyharmthebrain.(尽管研究结果暗示的影响令人担忧，但其仍存在局限性。此前，人们也曾对科技对大脑的影响提出过类似担忧，例如有观点称数字媒体已构成生存威胁。然而，尚无确凿证据证实这些担忧是真实的。彼得・埃切尔斯教授认为，没有可靠的科学依据表明短视频会对大脑造成独特的伤害)”可知，短文的最佳标题为“脑腐：真实威胁还是过度担忧？”故选A。第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Bymyearly40s,Ihadtriedeveryhobbymeanttoeasethetransition(过渡)intomiddleage:learninganewlanguage,anabandonedproject,andevenyoga.____36____So,inamomentoflow-gradedesperation,Idecidedtotryballet.“Butyou’renotveryflexible,”myhusbandgentlyremindedme.Hewasn’twrong.Myhistorywithphysicalactivities—badminton,cycling,swimming—hadn’texactlybeenpromising.____37____BeforemyfirstclassattheNationalBalletSchoolinToronto,Igrabbedaheadbandfrommydrawer.IwasclearlyawarethatIwasgoingtostandinfrontofamirrorwithallmypostural(体态的)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(惊叹于)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【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者人到中年尝试多种爱好无果后，决定尝试芭蕾，虽不被丈夫看好，但上课后收获了快乐，50岁时成了终身的进阶初学者。【36题详析】上文“Bymyearly40s,Ihadtriedeveryhobbymeanttoeasethetransition(过渡)intomiddleage:learninganewlanguage,anabandonedproject,andevenyoga.(到我40岁出头的时候，我尝试了每一种旨在缓解向中年过渡的爱好：学习一门新语言，一个半途而废的项目，甚至瑜伽。)”提到作者尝试了多种爱好。A选项“Nothingseemedtostick.(似乎没有一种爱好能坚持下来。)”承接上文，说明没有持续下去这一结果，与下文情绪“amomentoflow-gradedesperation”相照应，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。【37题详析】上文“Hewasn’twrong.Myhistorywithphysicalactivities—badminton,cycling,swimming—hadn’texactlybeenpromising.(他说得没错。我在体育活动方面的经历——羽毛球、骑自行车、游泳——并不乐观。)”表明作者在体育活动方面表现不佳。F选项“ButIdeterminedtoprovemybodycouldstillmovewithelegance.(但我决心证明我的身体仍然可以优雅地移动。)”与上文构成转折关系，体现了作者尽管之前体育活动经历不好，但仍决定尝试芭蕾，要证明自己身体能优雅移动，符合逻辑。故选F项。【38题详析】上文“IwasclearlyawarethatIwasgoingtostandinfrontofamirrorwithallmypostural(体态的)problemsondisplay.(我清楚地意识到，我将站在镜子前，把我所有的体态问题都暴露无
