【答案】8.A9.B10.C11.A

【解析】

【导语】文章主要介绍了社交媒体上的发帖内容、自拍习惯和网络语气如何反映并塑造个人形象与性格特征。

【8题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Psychologistssuggestthatouronlinebehaviourrevealsourtruevaluesandpersonalitytothedigitalworld.(心理学家指出，我们的网络行为向数字世界揭示了我们真实的价值观和个性)”可知，作者在第一段指出，人们的在线行为反映了其内在品质。

【9题详解】

推理判断题。根据第二段中“However,ifalmosteverypictureyoupostisjustofyoulookingpretty,youarelikelytoleavetheimpressionthatyouarefullofyourself.(然而，如果你发布的几乎每张照片都只是你漂亮的模样，你很可能会给人留下自负的印象)”以及第三段中“Manypeopleonlyposttheiramazingachievements,

makingtheirlivesseemperfect.Thisoftenmakesfriendsfeelstressed.(许多人只发布他们惊人的成就，让他们的生活看起来完美无缺。这常常让朋友们感到压力)”可知，过度发布完美的自拍或成就，会塑造出一种以自我为中心的形象。

【10题详解】

推理判断题。根据第三段中“Psychologistsremindusthateveryonefaceschallenges,andsharingtherealityoflife,ratherthanjustthehighlights,makesyoumorerelatable.(心理学家提醒我们，人人皆有困顿之时，分享生活的现实原貌，而非仅仅展示高光时刻，会让你更显真实、更接地气)”以及最后一段的““Beforepostingsomething,askyourself:Isthisgoingtoaddpositivitytotheworldortakeawayfromit?Iftheansweristhelatter,

don’tpostit.There’senoughnegativityouttherewithoutyousharingabouthowterribleyourdaywas.Ifyouneedsupport,callafriend,don’tsubjectthewholeworldtoyourplaints,”Schewitzsuggests.(舍维茨建议道：“发帖之前，不妨先问问自己：这会给世界增添一份正能量，还是徒增消沉？若答案是后者，便勿要发布。世

间已然充斥着足够多的负面声音，无须再添一笔你今日的糟心事。若需慰藉，拨通好友电话即可，切莫让

全天下都沦为你的抱怨听众。”)”可知，作者建议发帖时应兼顾现实生活与积极态度。

【11题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Psychologistssuggestthatouronlinebehaviourrevealsourtruevaluesandpersonalitytothedigitalworld.(心理学家指出，我们的网络言行会向这个数字世界袒露真实的价值观与个性)”可知，全文围绕社交媒体发布的内容会向他人传递你的个人形象、反映真实的你展开，核心主题是你发布的内容会说明你是怎样的人。A项“你的发帖内容揭示了你的为人”最能概括全文主旨，适合作本文

的标题。

【答案】12.C13.A14.B15.A

【解析】

【导语】主要介绍新研究证实雨声震动可加速水稻种子发芽，并解释其内在作用原理。

【12题详解】

推理判断题。根据第一段“Rainsoundsmeltourstressandputustosleep,butforriceplants,thepitterpatterofraindropsismorelikeamorningalarm.(雨声缓解我们的压力并助我们入眠，但对水稻植株而言，雨滴的滴答声更像是起床铃)”可知，作者通过对比雨声对人类和水稻植物产生的两种不同效果来引入主题。

【13题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第三段“Previousstudieshavesuggestedplantsmaypossesstheabilitytothink,seeandhear.However,there’snofactbasedevidenceforthedirectcauseandeffectlinkbetweenenvironmentalchangesandplants’realtimeresponses.Thisnewstudysuccessfullyfillsthegap.(先前的研究表明植物可能具备思考、看和听

的能力。然而，对于环境变化与植物实时反应之间的直接因果关系，并没有基于事实的证据。这项新研究

成功填补了这一空白。）可知，“thegap”指的是缺乏确凿证据。

【14题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段“Intheirexperiment,theresearcherswantedtomakesuretheseedswererespondingtothesoundofrainandnottoitswater.Giventhatriceisusuallygrowninwater,theychosetofocusonriceseeds.(在他们的实验中，研究人员想确保种子是对雨声做出反应，而不是对水做出反应。鉴于水稻通常生长在水

中，他们选择聚焦于水稻种子)”可知，研究人员使用置于水中的水稻种子是为了排除水的影响。

【15题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第五段“Inplants,cellularstructurescalledstatolithsareresponsibleforexternalsensing.Theyshiftandsettleatthebottomofplantcells,helpingtheorganismsdetectchangesintheirpositionandstabilityandtellgerminatingseedsinwhichdirectiontogrowtheirroots.Makrisandhisteamtheorizedrainsoundsunderwater

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）

【答案】16.F17.A18.C19.E20.G

【解析】

【导语】文章主要讲述了作者通过观察孩子们面对难题的态度，从固定型思维转向成长型思维的心路历程。

【16题详解】

上文“Theearlypuzzlesweresimple.(最初的谜题很简单)”说明实验初期题目容易。下文“Iexpectedfrustration(挫败),perhapseventears.Instead,somethingextraordinaryhappened.(我本以为孩子们会沮丧，甚至流泪。相反，一些非同寻常的事情发生了)”讲述孩子面对难题积极的表现。空处和前文形成转折，说明作者随后设置超龄难题。F项“但很快我给他们出了远超年龄的挑战。”符合语境，通过转折词But引出后文孩子们面对困难时的反应，与后文“facedwithanespeciallydifficultproblem”形成逻辑顺承。

【17题详解】

上文“Onetenyearoldboy,facedwithanespeciallydifficultproblem,pulledhischairclosertothetable,eyeswidened,andannouncedbrightly,“Iloveachallenge!”Anotherchild,sweatingfromhardwork,lookedupcalmlyandsaid(一个十岁的男孩，面对一个特别困难的问题，把椅子拉得离桌子更近，眼睛睁得大大的，兴高采烈

地说道：“我喜欢挑战！”另一个孩子，因为努力解题而出汗，平静地抬起头来说)”说明该孩子在面对困难时态度积极，空处为孩子乐观积极的话语。A项“这很难，但很有收获。”符合语境，体现了孩子将困难视为学习机会的成长型思维。

【18题详解】

上文“Thosechildrenbecamemyunexpectedteachers.(那些孩子成了我意想不到的老师)”提到那些孩子教会了作者一些道理。下文“Theybelievedthatabilitiescouldbegrownthrougheffortandthateachstrugglewasnotamarkoffailure,butasteptowardgettingsmarter.(他们认为，能力可以通过努力来培养，每一次挣扎都不是失败的标志，而是朝着变得更聪明迈出的一步)”介绍孩子认为努力可以提升能力，空处承接上下文，呼应孩子的成长思维，C项“在他们的眼中，我看到的不是失败，而是发现。”符合语境，具体描述了孩子们眼中的光芒，是对“老师”形象的具体阐释。

【19题详解】

下文“Ithoughttalentwascarvedinstone,andthatmistakesrevealedyourlimits.(我以为天赋是刻在石头上的，错误会暴露你的极限)”描述了作者过去的“固定型思维”。E项“另一方面，我一直秉持着固定型思维。”符合语境，该项通过ontheotherhand引出与孩子们截然不同的旧有观念，与下文内容紧密衔接。

【20题详解】

上文“Ibeganstudyingthe“growthmindset”—thebeliefthatabilitiescanbedevelopedthrougheffortandresilience.(我开始研究“成长心态”——即相信能力可以通过努力和韧性来发展)”介绍了作者观念的转变。空处顺接前文，总结全文感悟，G项“失败不能定义我们；我们如何从失败中奋起才能。”符合语境，是对成长型思维的总结和升华，呼应了全文主旨。
