On the ferry I was recgnized by tw students at the cllege I was visiting. One f them was ging t visit her parents at their “summerhuse”, a vegetable garden n a small island. When the yung lady understd that I had n destinatin in mind, she invited me alng and I agreed. It was the srt f visit with a family ne hpes fr, and rarely gets, in a freign cuntry. Her father was an amateur phtgrapher, and since the fastest film he culd get lcally was ASA 64, he was thrilled that I culd leave him a few rlls f ASA 400 clr film. The mther prided herself n her cking, but had limited supplies, s they walked arund the island and invited several ther families t a ptluck supper. The main curse was sturgen (鲟), which was at least six feet lng in the river. It was a gift f a fish that must have fed a few families fr several days.

A new research by Stanfrd University psychlgy Prfessr Jeanne Tsai and her team suggests a key puzzle invlves culture. The team examined the emtinal cntent f Twitter psts made by users in the United States and Japan.
Mst previus studies n scial media have fcused n Western users. In cntrast, the Stanfrd team included a nn-Western cntext. “It just felt fr me that a piece is missing if yu dn’t cnsider culture,” said lead authr and graduate student Tiffany Hsun. “Culture is such an imprtant aspect in terms f scial media and cnnecting peple.”
The research team analyzed thusands f tweets frm bth cuntries. They used a tl called SentiStrength which scres texts based n psitivity, negativity, and emtinal intensity. Their analysis revealed clear cultural patterns: American users generally prduce mre psitive and high-energy cntent (e.g., The cutest pictures are frm Kindergarten graduatin! ♥), while Japanese users tend t pst messages with calmer, lwer-arusal emtins (e.g., Anther week f exams then I’m free ).
Hwever, the ppsite seemed t apply after users had been expsed t thers’ psts. “Users seemed t be mst influenced by thers’ psts when thse psts cntained feelings against their cultural values.” explained Hsu, “S fr the U. S., users are mst influenced by thers’ high arusal negative cntent like nervusness, but fr Japan, users are mst influenced by thers’ high arusal psitive states like excitement.” The researchers described this effect as “affective hijacking”, in which expsure t cntent that ges against users’ cultural values temprarily redirects their wn cntent.
Researchers aren’t ttally sure where these disruptive psts frm, but they nticed these psts ften spread fake news r lies. This suggests t them that the cntent may be generated by peple attempting t mislead thers r even by algrithms created t stir up disputes. They suggested that future develpments might include sftware tls similar t junk email blckers.
8. What is the main purpse f the Stanfrd research?
A. T imprve tls fr checking text emtins.
B. T cmpare scial media habits in tw cuntries.
C. T prve fake news spreads faster acrss cultures.
D. T study hw culture affects nline emtinal psts.
9. Accrding t the study, American users tend t prduce psts with emtins like ________.
A. anger and anxietyB. sadness and depressin
C. delight and excitementD. calmness and relaxatin
10. Why were Japanese users mre influenced by high-arusal psitive psts?
A. Such psts are cmmn in Japan.B. Their culture lacks interactin.
C. Such psts cnflict with their culture.D. Their culture values psitive emtins.
11. What scial prblem might “affective hijacking” cause?
A. Cnfusin f cultural identity amng yung users.
B. Spread f nline rumrs and crss-culture cnflicts.
C. Overlad f infrmatin n scial media platfrms.
D. Increase in cyberbullying based n cultural differences.

【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new research by Stanfrd University psychlgy Prfessr Jeanne Tsai and her team suggests a key puzzle invlves culture. The team examined the emtinal cntent f Twitter psts made by users in the United States and Japan. (斯坦福大学心理学教授Jeanne Tsai及其团队的一项新研究表明，一个关键谜题涉及文化。该团队研究了美国和日本用户在Twitter上发布的帖子的情感内容)”可知，斯坦福大学研究的主要目的是研究文化如何影响网络情感帖子。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Their analysis revealed clear cultural patterns: American users generally prduce mre psitive and high-energy cntent (e.g., The cutest pictures are frm Kindergarten graduatin! ♥), while Japanese users tend t pst messages with calmer, lwer-arusal emtins (e.g., Anther week f exams then I’m free ). (他们的分析揭示了明显的文化模式：美国用户通常发布更多积极且高能量的内容（例如，最可爱的照片来自幼儿园毕业典礼！♥），而日本用户倾向于发布更平静、低唤醒度的情感信息（例如，再考一周试我就自由了 ）)”可知，根据这项研究，美国用户倾向于发布带有喜悦和兴奋等情绪的帖子。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Users seemed t be mst influenced by thers’ psts when thse psts cntained feelings against their cultural values.” explained Hsu, “S fr the U. S., users are mst influenced by thers’ high arusal negative cntent like nervusness, but fr Japan, users are mst influenced by thers’ high arusal psitive states like excitement.” (“当这些帖子包含与他们文化价值观相悖的情感时，用户似乎最容易受到他人帖子的影响。”Hsu解释道，“所以对于美国来说，用户最容易受到他人高唤醒度的负面内容的影响，比如紧张，但对于日本来说，用户最容易受到他人高唤醒度的正面状态的影响，比如兴奋。”)”可知，日本用户更容易受到高唤醒度正面帖子的影响，是因为这样的帖子与他们的文化相冲突。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Researchers aren’t ttally sure where these disruptive psts frm, but they nticed these psts ften spread fake news r lies. This suggests t them that the cntent may be generated by peple attempting t mislead thers r even by algrithms created t stir up disputes. (研究人员并不完全确定这些破坏性帖子来自哪里，但他们注意到这些帖子经常传播假新闻或谎言。这让他们认为，这些内容可能是由试图误导他人的人生成的，甚至是由旨在挑起争端的算法生成的)”可知，“情感劫持”可能引起的社会问题是网络谣言的传播和跨文化冲突。故选B。

The cling effect f being n water especially bsts the efficiency f the mdules, with studies suggesting gains f between 5% and 15% ver land-based PV, while the shade they prduce slws the water evapratin (蒸发) f the lake.
EDP views flating slar as a crnerstne f its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5 megawatts (MW兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem mdest, but it’s just the beginning. The cmpany is planning a secnd phase, which will see an additinal 70MW capacity by 2025. Accrding t Wd Mackenzie, a leading cnsultancy, flating slar technlgy culd deliver up t 60,000MW f renewable energy glbally by 2031. “This may pale in cmparisn t the 1,600,000MW f slar capacity installed as f last year. But every bit cunts,” he added.
12. Which f the fllwing best describes the EDP prject?
A. Land-saving and efficient.B. Innvative and labr-saving.
C. Ecnmical and ec-friendly.D. Challenging and experimental.
13. Why are cleaning rbts needed?
A. They prevent water damage.B. They prtect mdules.
C. They reduce manual csts.D. They remve bird waste.
14. What advantage f flating slar prjects is highlighted?
A. They use lcal sft wd nly.B. They reduce water lss via shading.
C. They create new habitats fr wildlife.D. They need n new pwer statins.
15. What is a suitable title fr the text?

Anther guy wh was standing near the machine tld us that the machine was ut f rder. Withut a mment’s pause, the helpful man swiftly pulled ut his credit card and used it t buy the tickets fr us. “Here yu g,” he said with a warm smile, handing ver the tickets.

His selfless help turned a stressful evening int a lasting memry-ne that reaffirmed ur belief in the pwer f simple, genuine human kindness.
