In June, Andrés Trres wn the Basque Culinary Wrld Prize—ften called the “Nbel Prize f cking”. Casa Nva, the restaurant where he wrks, is a temple t the art f slw, sulful cking. It’s the kind f place that, using nly what is naturally abundant, relies n age-ld methds and the particularities f a regin’s land, climate and cultures.

A new study, published in the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences, cncludes that prper reductins in beef prductin, particularly in wealthier natins, culd significantly slw dwn climate change by allwing frests t regrw n frmer grasslands.
The study used remte sensing technlgy t map grassland prductivity and estimate benefits f reducing beef prductin, finding that restring all ptentially frested grasslands glbally culd stre 445 gigatns (千兆吨) f CO2 by 2100 — equal t amunt f fssil fuel emissins (排放) ver a decade.
“We can achieve enrmus climate benefits with prper changes t the ttal glbal beef prductin,” says Matthew N. Hayek, an assistant prfessr in New Yrk University’s envirnmental studies department. “By fcusing n regins with ptentially high carbn sequestratin (隔离) in frests, sme restratin strategies culd maximize climate benefits while minimizing changes t fd supplies.”
The team see high and upper-middle-incme cuntries as pssible candidates fr frest restratin, where grass grws nly during a shrt grwing seasn. These regins, such as parts f Nrth America and Eurpe, have sme current grasslands that d nt prduce very much grass per acre, and thus have ptential t grw thick frests able t absrb a lt f carbn. In cntrast, lwer-incme regins like sub-Saharan Africa and Suth America, where much mre grass can grw year-rund, can cntribute t balancing reduced prductin elsewhere.
Matthew acknwledged that refrestatin cannt replace cutting dwn n fssil fuel pllutin, but wrks tgether with it t help fight climate change. “In many places, this regrwth culd ccur naturally withut any human invlvement. Hwever, in sme places, with especially damaged envirnments r sils, native and diverse tree-planting culd give regrwth a helping hand,” says Matthew.
Althugh the findings d nt call fr extreme changes t glbal fd prductin, the team emphasizes that immediate actin is essential t meet climate gals. Targeted plicies are called fr t priritize frest recvery in high-impact areas — fr instance, by ffering beef prducers rewards fr frest land cnservatin r purchasing their cmpany shares.
28. Why is “445 gigatns f CO2” mentined in paragraph 2?
A. T clarify a specific climate gal by 2100.
B. T quantify the benefits f grassland recvery.
C. T shw the difficulty f cutting fssil fuel use.
D. T highlight the rle f remte sensing technlgy.
29. What can be learned abut the grasslands in sub-Saharan Africa and Suth America?
A. They are ideal fr refrestatin.
B. They have a shrt grwing seasn.
C. They are expected t feed mre animals.
D. They have a lw capacity fr carbn absrptin.
30. What plicy is suggested fr frest recvery?
A. Limiting beef exprts.B. Increasing agricultural taxes.
C. Prviding financial benefits.D. Intrducing advanced technlgy.
31. What might be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Targeted Beef Cuts Bring Climate Benefits
B. Grassland Expansin Ends Carbn Emissins
C. Glbal Fd Prductin Must Decrease Significantly
D. Beef Industry Grwth Prmtes Envirnmental Health
【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A

In 1933, philspher Bertrand Russell bserved that “the fundamental cause f the truble is that in the mdern wrld the stupid are cnfident while the intelligent are full f dubt.” This insight remains relevant tday, but the issue runs deeper: while mst peple recgnize vercnfidence in thers, they rarely see it in themselves. This phenmenn, knwn as the Dunning-Kruger Effect, reveals that thse with the least knwledge ften verestimate their abilities, while the truly knwledgeable remain humble and pen-minded.
The internet exacerbates this prblem. With endless access t infrmatin, peple ften mistake superficial understanding fr prfessinal knwledge, leading t vercnfidence. Organizatinal psychlgist Adam Grant addresses this in his bk Think Again, urging readers t challenge and update their beliefs. Grant argues that we ften adpt the mindsets f churchmen, lawyers, r pliticians — defending ur beliefs, attacking thers’, r seeking apprval — rather than seeking truth.
T vercme this, Grant suggests separating ur sense f self frm fixed beliefs. Instead f sticking t beliefs, we shuld be pen t revisin. This scientific mindset encurages us t test ideas and update ur understanding. Grant cites a study where entrepreneurs (企业家) trained in scientific thinking did better than their peers and achieved greater success, which highlights the value f pen-mindedness and adaptability.
In the final part f the bk, Grant shws us hw rethinking skills enhance plitical debates, teaching, and wrkplace innvatin. Grant prvides a hst f illustrative examples, but my favrite is the example f a histry teacher wh gets her students t think like scientists by rewriting textbk chapters that failed t cver imprtant histrical events in sufficient depth. This is a far better apprach than simply delivering a lecture and frcing students t review the infrmatin n a test.
But f curse, this bk is nt the final wrd n the tpic, and Grant wuldn’t want it t be. As we gain better evidence and mre experience, it’s ur respnsibility t cntinually renew ur beliefs. As Russell said, “If yu’re certain f anything, yu’re certainly wrng, because nthing deserves abslute certainty.”
32. What prblem d mst peple have?
A. Decline in self-cnfidence.B. Cncern abut thers’ dubts.
C. Indifference t scial prblems.D. Unawareness f persnal limitatins.
33. What des the underlined wrd “exacerbates” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?
A. Creates.B. Fixes.C. Wrsens.D. Prevents.
34. Which persn culd be an example in the final part f the bk?
A. A chef pen t feedback.B. A scientist resistant t dubts.
C. A dctr reliant n experience.D. A cnsumer blinded by brands.
35. Which f the fllwing can be used t describe the bk?
A. Practical and cnclusive.B. Insightful but nt definitive.
C. Infrmative and theretical.D. Authritative but nt engaging.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. B
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过哲学家罗素的观点引出达克效应(Dunning-Kruger Effect)，探讨了人们普遍存在的认知偏差问题，并结合亚当·格兰特《重新思考》一书中的理论，提出培养科学思维和开放心态的重要性。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“This insight remains relevant tday, but the issue runs deeper: while mst peple recgnize vercnfidence in thers, they rarely see it in themselves. This phenmenn, knwn as the Dunning-Kruger Effect, reveals that thse with the least knwledge ften verestimate their abilities, while the truly knwledgeable remain humble and pen-minded.(这一观点在今天仍然适用，但问题更为深刻：虽然大多数人都能看到别人的过度自信，但他们很少看到自己的过度自信。这种现象被称为达克效应，它揭示了那些知识最少的人往往高估了自己的能力，而真正知识渊博的人则保持谦虚和开放)”可知，多数人问题在于无法意识到自身认知的局限性。故选D项。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在部分“The internet exacerbates this prblem. With endless access t infrmatin, peple ften mistake superficial understanding fr prfessinal knwledge, leading t vercnfidence.(互联网……这个问题。在无限获取信息的条件下，人们常将浅薄的理解误认为专业知识，导致过度自信)”可知，互联网让人们可以无限获取信息，但人们常将从互联网获得的浅薄理解误认为是专业知识，导致过度自信，所以互联网让问题变得更严重，加剧了人们的认知偏差问题。所以“exacerbates”的意思是“加剧”，与“wrsens”同义。故选C项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“In the final part f the bk, Grant shws us hw rethinking skills enhance plitical debates, teaching, and wrkplace innvatin. Grant prvides a hst f illustrative examples, but my favrite is the example f a histry teacher wh gets her students t think like scientists by rewriting textbk chapters that failed t cver imprtant histrical events in sufficient depth. This is a far better apprach than simply delivering a lecture and frcing students t review the infrmatin n a test.(在书的最后一部分，格兰特向我们展示了反思技能是如何增强政治辩论、教学和工作场所创新的。格兰特提供了许多说明性的例子，但我最喜欢的是一位历史老师的例子，她通过重写教科书中没有充分深入介绍重要历史事件的章节，让她的学生像科学家一样思考。这比简单的讲课和强迫学生复习考试内容要好得多)”可知，书中推崇的案例需体现开放思维与反思能力，只有A项“接受反馈的厨师”能以开放的心态对待顾客的反馈，并根据反馈来反思，符合这一特质。故选A项。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据末段中“But f curse, this bk is nt the final wrd n the tpic, and Grant wuldn’t want it t be.(当然，这本书并非该话题的终极结论，格兰特也不希望如此)”可知，该书具有启发性但非定论，与B项“Insightful but nt definitive(富有洞见但非绝对)”相符。故选B项。

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
G Beynd
I stared at the art cntest pster. This year’s theme was “G Beynd”. My fingers held my pencil case tightly. Last year, my painting didn’t win anything. The judges didn’t say it was bad — they just walked past it withut stpping. I remembered hw my hands shk when I tk it dwn after the cntest. The memry still made me feel a little sad.
“Are yu jining again?” Emma asked, gently tuching my arm. Her sketchbk (素描册) was pen, shwing a bright sunset she had drawn. The range and pink clrs lked s real, like yu culd feel the warmth frm the paper. I tk a deep breath.
“I’m nt sure,” I said quietly, rubbing my she n the flr. A black mark appeared where my te dragged. “What if I fail again?” My vice came ut smaller than I wanted.
Emma smiled and turned t anther page — a funny drawing f Jay Chu singing, his muth pen really wide. “Wh cares abut winning?” she said. “Remember that cartn yu drew f Taylr Swift? Everyne lved it! Yu shuld just paint what makes yu happy.” “Yur art is special. Just paint what yu lve!” Her smile was s cnfident that it made me want t believe her.
Fr weeks, I thught abut it. Every time I pened my sketchbk, I remembered last year — hw I std there, watching the judges pass by withut a secnd glance. My chest felt tight when I thught abut it. The blank pages seemed t stare back at me, but my fingers refused t pick up the pencil, as if frzen by last year’s disappintment.
But Emma kept encuraging me. She left little ntes in my lcker, like “Keep trying!” and “I believe in yu!”. One rainy afternn, she surprised me by putting her best paint set n my desk. The plastic case clicked when she pened it, shwing rws f bright clrs. “Try these,” she said, handing them t me.

【答案】One pssible versin:
Slwly, I started practicing again. After schl, I stayed in the quiet art rm, carefully drawing characters frm ppular cartns. At first, my drawing f the mnkey king lked awkward, but I kept erasing and imprving. Emma wuld smetimes sit beside me, shwing hw t draw smiling expressins. One afternn, I finally drew a perfect Nezha — his rund face and lively eyes lked just right! My hands n lnger shk when hlding the brush, and clrs blended smthly under my fingertips.
Finally came the day f the art cntest! The hall was filled with excited vices as students prepared their artwrks. My heart beat fast when three judges std befre my cartn drawings, discussing hw each character’s face shwed different feelings. When they called my name fr “Mst Creative Wrk”, my eyes grew wet. Seeing Emma clapping happily in the crwd, I understd — real achievement wasn’t just abut winning, but abut daring t try again after disappintment. This special award belnged t bth f us.
