Empires in Cnversatin
Despite the thusands f miles separating them and the big differences in their peples,tw rulers in 17th-century Eurpe and China were nevertheless the driving frce behind a grand
cultural exchange.
The tw men were the Kangxi Emperr f China’s Qing Dynasty and King Luis XIV f France. A symblic image frm the perid captured the exchange: Eurpean ambassadrs (使臣), 1 (dress) in the rbes f Qing fficials, std beside an armillary sphere in the curt f the Kangxi Emperr. The astrnmy, mathematics, physics, and chemistry they brught
2 (fascinate) the yung emperr, wh was particularly interested in the heavenly bdies.
Thrugh their instructin, Kangxi gained a rich knwledge. On ne visit t suthern China, he used a spirit level (水平仪) t measure the water, and fund a mistake in 3 his
ministers were cntrlling the water in the Hngze lake.
It is natural fr many f us ____4____ (marvel) at the Chinese emperr’s gd knwledge f Western technlgies. But Kangxi’s interests extended 5 the hard sciences: He tried t rganize infrmatin abut these freign lands and spread 6 amng the public.
He asked his third prince, Yinzhi, t establish a museum f mathematics 7 talented schlars wuld engage in research and bservatin f mathematical laws and the universe. In curt speeches, Kangxi wuld hld frth n the natural sciences frm Eurpe, 8 (lecture) yung princes abut astrnmy, calendar systems and arithmetic.
Outstanding students 9 (send) t the institutin f astrnmy r ther key departments.
10 the visitrs frm the West came t the East mainly t spread their culture,
upn arriving in that ancient kingdm, they discvered its peple already pssessed their wn
well-established understanding f the wrld. There was the Glden Mean f Cnfucius, and the unknwable Ta f La Tzu. And these left a deep impressin n the traveling Eurpeans.
Sectin B
Directins: Cmplete the fllwing passage by using the wrds in the bx. Each wrd can nly be used nce. Nte that there is ne wrd mre than yu need.
Fine art invlves the applicatin f skill and-imaginatin t prduce aesthetic experiences. Phtgraphy is regarded by sme as a frm f fine art because it entails creative decisin-making prcesses similar t thse 11 painting r sculpture. Nevertheless, phtgraphy cannt be 12 classified as art, because despite certain-similarities, a fundamental difference
remains between creating images by hand — using paint, clay r ther tls — and pinting a mechanical device at smething interesting and clicking.
It is arguable that phtgraphy can be appreciated n the same level as ther 13
frms f visual art. Smetimes decisins invlved in creating a phtgraph clsely resemble thse made by any ther artist. A phtgraph is nt always just a recrd f the wrld, but a(n)
14 created image with its wn artistic features. Ansel Adams, the American
phtgrapher, cmmented n this pint when he nted that take is nt the right verb fr a
phtgraph. Instead, he said, ne makes a phtgraph. T this end, there is a grwing trend fr phtgraphers t identify themselves as artists. A phtgraph by artist Edward Steichen, fr
example, recently sld fr $11.8 millin. N ne wuld likely pay that much fr a phtgraph unless the phtgrapher presents himself as an artist.
Althugh sme phtgraphy can be abstract, mst phtgraphs are basically recrds f
events that ccurred in particular places. While viewers may perceive beauty in a phtgraph,
such beauty ften derives frm the time and place 15 rather than frm the phtgrapher’s creative input. Als, sphisticated and expensive 16 ften plays a greater rle in the
success f a phtgraph than the phtgrapher’s creativity. Even sme f the greatest
phtgraphers acknwledge that there is a(n) 17 t the amunt f influence they can
have n a final prduct. Henri Cartier-Bressn, the renwned French phtgrapher, admitted that luck was the mst imprtant factr. Finally, phtgraphy is s widely used fr
18 functins that have little r nthing t d with art, such as plice wrk, advertising and news reprting.
The debate ver whether phtgraphy qualifies as art has 19 since its earliest
practitiners presented their wrk. A phtgrapher may make the same aesthetic chices as a fine artist: subject matter, lighting, clur r even a message. Hwever, cameras can als be purely
functinal tls, capturing visual recrds and presenting infrmatin. All in all, phtgraphy is a(n) 20 that can be used t make art, but that des nt mean that all phtgraphy is art.
II. Reading Cmprehensin (45’)
Sectin A (15’)
Directins: Fr each blank in the fllwing passage there are fur wrds r
phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the wrd r phrase that best fits the cntext.
Peple wh live in cities are starting t get a lt mre infrmatin t help plan their daily lives. Smarter City systems are telling residents abut traffic jams, the time the next bus will
arrive, the fr flding, and ther useful updates.
This is happening because cities are the streams f infrmatin frm sensrs t manage urban systems better. The number f ________ like these sensrs will reach 50 billin by 2020. Cities are cmplex systems f systems that have always vast amunts f
infrmatin. Infrmatin flwing in frm many small subsystems, such as lcal fld
catch-basins, is integrated with ther t prvide guidance n the verall peratin f a city. This integrated data, frm such systems f systems, is then given t city administratrs in
useful frmats that can change fr the better.
, in many cities, the cming ppulatin grwth will challenge even the mst
skilled city managers, and the ld infrastructure f many such cities is nt equipped with the
ability t gather the data needed t city peratins. Despite the seeming f data gathering infrastructure, anther ptin exists, cnsidering the shift frm desktp cmputing
t mbile devices and tablets.
Mbile technlgy has dramatically in the past decade t the pint where a
lightweight smartphne may gather all kinds f data, such as its lcatin, lcal temperature and
backgrund nise levels. Furthermre, in the near future, additinal ________ are easily imagined, where sensrs will be able t detect chemical pllutin, lcal lighting cnditins, vibratin levels, and mre.
This will enable a new era where citizens are able t participate in city management, where the very data required t imprve city peratins is in part prvided by its citizens via smartphne apps.
It als raises cmplex issues that must be dealt with as we face this new era, but similarly prvides pprtunities fr the citizens t play an active rle in the imprvement f their , nt nly in the reprting f critical envirnmental and transprtatin data, but in
taking an active rle in slving the prblems they have encuntered.
It will be a cperative and infrmed effrt, with infrmatin technlgy enabling scial transfrmatin, t the grwing challenges facing ur cities in the cming decades.

Just the Ticket
Shetara Sims had weathered sme tugh years. In 2012, her eldest daughter was murdered during an argument in Kansas City, Missuri. Last year, the single mther lst her jb in the
recessin (经济衰退). She had nly $7 in her pcket as she headed int the grcery stre ne day last July with her 12-year-ld daughter, Rakiya Edmndsn.
And then Lady Luck finally cut Sims sme slack. She and her daughter fund a dllar bill in the parking lt. Maybe this was their day, they tld each ther. S they bught a lttery ticket (彩票) --and wn $100.
But befre they culd spend their unexpected gain, Rakiya had an idea. The news in Kansas City that week had been filled with stries abut a plice fficer, Tyler Mss, wh had been sht in the head in the line f duty. He was in critical cnditin. Rakiya and her mther had never
frgtten hw kind the plice had been after their wn family member was killed. “The detectives were really there fr us,” Sims says. “They came t see my kids. They were fathers, therapists.
They were everything.” Rakiya wanted t give their lttery winning t Officer Mss’s family. Her mm readily agreed.
On July 10, Sims called the plice and made an annymus (匿名的) dnatin. Mved by her generus expressin f thanks, the fficers did what they d best --they tracked Sims dwn.
When she explained the family’s mtivatin, the fficers culd hardly believe it. “With her current financial hardship, we encuraged her t keep the mney,” the department later explained. “She
refused, saying the fficer’s family needed it and plice needed t knw they were supprted.”
By then, that feeling f supprt was mutual. The plice set up a GFundMe page fr Sims, whm they called “The Wman with the Heart f Gld.” Their gal was $10,000. As f January 11, they had raised $165,405. Even better: Officer Mss, wh had a 1 percent chance f survival, is ut f the hspital and recvering.
36 ．Which f the fllwing is NOT ne f the hardships Shetara Sims went thrugh?
A ．Having t bring up children all by herself. B ．Lsing a lt f mney buying lttery tickets.
C ．Lsing her jb during the ecnmic decline. D ．Her eldest daughter being killed in an argument.

Sarcasm (讽刺) and jazz have smething surprisingly in cmmn: Yu knw them when yu hear them. Sarcasm is mstly understd thrugh tne f vice, which is used t prtray the ppsite f the literal wrds. Fr example, when smene says, “Well, that’s exactly what I need right nw,” their tne can tell yu it’s nt what they need at all.
Mst frequently, sarcasm highlights an irritatin r is, quite simply, mean.
If yu want t be happier and imprve yur relatinships, cut ut sarcasm. Why? Because sarcasm is actually hstility disguised as humr.
Despite smiling utwardly, many peple wh receive sarcastic cmments feel put dwn and ften think the sarcastic persn is rude, r cntemptible (可鄙的). Indeed, it’s nt surprising that the rigin f the wrd sarcasm derives frm the Greek wrd “sarkazein” which literally means “t tear r strip the flesh ff.” Hence, it’s n wnder that sarcasm is ften used after the wrd
“cutting” and that it hurts.
What’s mre, since actins strngly determine thughts and feelings, when a persn
cnsistently acts sarcastically it may nly serve t heighten their underlying hstility and
insecurity. After all, when yu cme right dwn t it, sarcasm can be used as a subtle frm f bullying—and mst bullies are angry, insecure, r cwardly.
Alternatively, when a persn stps vicing negative cmments, especially sarcastic nes,
they may sn start t feel happier and mre self-cnfident. Als, ther peple in their life benefit even mre because they n lnger have t hear the emtinally hurtful language f sarcasm.
Nw, I’m nt saying all sarcasm is bad. It may just be better used sparingly—like a
pwerful spice in cking. T much f the spice, and the dish will be verwhelmed by it.
Similarly, an ccasinal dash f sarcastic wit can spice up a chat and add an element f humr t it. But a big r steady serving f sarcasm will verwhelm the emtinal flavr f any cnversatin and can taste very bitter t its recipient.
S, tne dwn the sarcasm and wrk n clever wit instead, which is usually withut any hstility and thus mre appreciated by thse yu’re cmmunicating with. In essence, sarcasm is easy while true, harmless wit takes talent.
Thus, the main difference between wit and sarcasm is that, as already stated, sarcasm is
ften hstility disguised as humr. It can be intended t hurt and is ften bitter and biting. Witty statements are usually in respnse t smene’s unhelpful remarks r behavirs, and the intent is t untangle and clarify the issue by emphasizing its ridicule. Sarcastic statements are expressed in a cutting manner; witty remarks are delivered with undisguised and harmless humr.
43 ．Why des the authr say sarcasm and jazz have smething surprisingly in cmmn?
A ．Bth are recgnized when heard.
B ．Bth have exactly the same tne.
C ．Bth mean the ppsite f what they appear t.
D ．Bth have hidden in them an evident irritatin.
44 ．What happens when a persn cnsistently acts sarcastically?
A ．They feel their dignity greatly heightened.
B ．They feel increasingly insecure and hstile.
C ．They endure hstility under the disguise f humr.
D ．They taste bitterness even in pleasant interactins.
45 ．What des the authr say abut peple quitting sarcastic cmments?
A ．It makes thers happier and mre self-cnfident.
B ．It restrains them frm being irritating and bullying.
C ．It benefits nt nly themselves but als thse arund them.
D ．It shields them frm negative cmments and utright hstility.
46 ．What is the chief difference between a speaker’s wit and sarcasm?
A ．Their intentin. B ．Their appreciatin. C ．Their emphasis. D ．Their clarity.

Twilight f the Brands
It’s a truism f business-bk thinking that a cmpany’s brand is its “mst imprtant asset,” mre valuable than technlgy r patents r manufacturing prwess. But brands have never been mre fragile. The reasn is simple: cnsumers are supremely well infrmed and far mre likely t investigate the real value f prducts than t rely n lgs.
Abslute Value, a new bk by Itamar Simnsn and Emanuel Rsen, shws that,
histrically, the rise f brands was a respnse t an infrmatin-pr envirnment. 47 If a car was made by G.M., r a ketchup by Heinz, yu assumed that it was pretty gd. It was hard t figure ut if a new prduct frm an unfamiliar cmpany was reliable r nt, s brand lyalty
was a way f reducing risk.
Tday, cnsumers can read much research abut whatever they want t buy. This started
back with Cnsumer Reprts, which did bjective studies f prducts. 48 It has given rdinary cnsumers easy access t expert reviews, user reviews, and detailed prduct data, in an array f categries.
A recent study fund that eighty per cent f cnsumers lk at nline reviews befre
making majr purchases, and a hst f studies have lgged the strng influence thse reviews have n the decisins peple make. 49 An undesirable prduct can becme a
laughingstck (笑柄) in a matter f hurs. In the ld days, yu might buy a Sny televisin set because yu’d wned ne befre, r because yu trusted the brand. Tday, such cnsideratins matter much less than reviews n Amazn and Engadget and CNET. As Simnsn said, “each prduct nw has t prve itself n its wn. ”
It’s been argued that in a wrld where cnsumers are verwhelmed with infrmatin, the
infrmatin will actually make brands mre valuable. Indeed, the rle a brand plays in peple’s
lives has becme all the mre imprtant. But infrmatin verlad is largely a myth. 50 And this has made custmer lyalty pretty much a thing f the past. Only twenty-five per cent f American respndents in a recent study said that brand lyalty affected hw they shpped.
A ．But what’s really weakened the pwer f brands is the Internet.
B ．Fr cnsumers this is ideal: heightened cmpetitin has raised quality and held dwn prices.
C ．When cnsumers had t rely n advertisements and their past experience with a cmpany, brands served as a guarantee fr quality.
D．A large quantity f cnsumers fail t get a great deal f infrmatin efficiently and effectively.
E ．The rise f scial media has sped up the trend t an astnishing degree.
F ．Mst cnsumers figure ut hw t find what they’re lking fr withut spending huge amunts f time nline.
III. Summary writing (10’)
51 ．Directins: Read the fllwing passage. Summarize the main idea and the main pint (s) f
the passage in n mre than 60 wrds. Use yur wn wrds as far as pssible.
Are tuchscreens in cars dangerus?
Fr years almst every new car sld has cme with a high-tech, futuristic screen, which cntrls everything frm the air cnditining t the music. Even safety features like autmatic
lane-keeping are smetimes screen-cntrlled.
But are tuchscreens safe? The case fr the accusatin is straightfrward. If fiddling with
the screen f a smartphne while driving is distracting, and therefre dangerus, then ding
likewise with yur car’s is prbably risky t. Drivers can learn the lcatin f physical cntrls, and press buttns r twiddle dials withut taking their eyes ff the rad. A tuchscreen ffers n physical feedback, making that much harder. And because a screen must d dzens f jbs,
finding a particular setting ften means tapping thrugh several sub-menus. The result, say critics, is a dangerus distractin built int the car itself.
Research backs that up. A study, dne in 2024 by researchers at SINTEF, a Nrwegian
cntract-research rganisatin, used gaze-tracking cameras t cmpare hw lng drivers were
distracted while perfrming different tasks n a tuchscreen. Even the quickest jb — changing
the temperature — meant three and a half secnds, n average, f nt lking at the rad. Finding a new radi statin tk 11 secnds, and putting a new address int the satellite navigatin tk
16. An analysis published in 2020 by the Transprt Research Labratry, a British rganisatin, fund that tuchscreens impaired a driver’s reactin time mre than driving ver the legal alchl limit.
Safety rganisatins are beginning t ntice. Frm January new rules frm Eur NCAP, an rganisatin that prvides safety ratings fr cars sld in Eurpe, will mean n car can get a full
five-star scre unless certain crucial functins — indicatrs, fr instance, r the windscreen wipers — are cntrlled by real switches. Eur NCAP’s safety guidelines have n legal frce. But
carmakers use its ratings as a selling-pint.
But innvatin never stps. Even as tuchscreens are falling ut f favur, many
manufacturers are turning their attentin t vice cntrl — thugh that is a subject fr anther stry.

这是一篇议论文。文章探讨了摄影的艺术地位。尽管摄影具有创造性且可被视为艺术媒介，但由于其依赖设备、受环境限制且多用于实用功能，因此关于其是否属于纯艺术的争论一直存在。
11．考查形容词。句意：有些人认为摄影是一种美术形式，因为它所涉及的创作决策过程与绘画或雕塑背后（潜在）的那些创作决策过程相似。根据“because it entails creative
decisin-making prcesses similar t thse”可知应填 underlying 表示“潜在的、根本的” ，用来修饰 painting r sculpture ，意思是“与绘画或雕塑背后（潜在）的那些创作决策过程相似”。故选 I。
12 ．考查副词。句意：然而，摄影不能毫无疑问地归类为艺术，因为尽管有某些相似之处，但手工创造图像——使用颜料、黏土或其他工具——与将机械设备指向有趣的东西并点击之间仍然存在根本的区别。根据句意“毫无疑问地” 以及“because despite certain-similarities, a
fundamental difference remains between creating images by hand” 可知应填副词 unquestinably，修饰 classified 。故选 D。
13．考查形容词。句意：可以说，摄影完全可以与其他被认可的视觉艺术形式相媲美，同样值得欣赏。根据句意“被认可的” 以及“frms f visual art”可知应填形容词 recgnized，修饰名词 frms 。故选 B。
14 ．考查副词。句意：一张照片并不总是仅仅是对世界的记录，而是一种经过精心构思的、具有自身艺术特色的图像。根据前文提到的“像其他艺术家一样做决定” 以及 Ansel Adams 说的“make a phtgraph(制作照片)” ，说明照片是故意/精心创造出来的，而非随意拍摄的。可知应填副词 deliberately ，修饰 created 。故选 F。
15．考查形容词。句意：尽管观众可能会从照片中感受到美，但这种美往往源自照片所捕捉的特定时间和地点，而非摄影师的创作投入。根据“所捕捉的” 以及 “rather than frm the
phtgrapher’s creative input”可知应填形容词 captured，修饰名词 the time and place。故选 K。
16 ．考查名词。句意：此外，精良且昂贵的设备在照片的成功中往往比摄影师的创意发挥着更大的作用。根据句意“设备” 以及“ften plays a greater rle in the success f a phtgraph than the phtgrapher’s creativity”可知应填名词 equipment ，作主语，故选 G。
17．考查名词。句意：甚至一些最杰出的摄影师也承认，他们对最终作品所产生的影响是有限的。根据句意“ 限制” 以及“the amunt f influence they can have n a final prduct”可知应填名词 limit ，作主语，故选 H。

本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了一位单亲妈妈 Shetara Sims 和女儿 Rakiya在经济困难中，用意外获得的 100 美元彩票奖金匿名捐给受伤警官 Tyler Mss家庭的故事。
36．细节理解题。根据第一段“Shetara Sims had weathered sme tugh years. In 2012, her eldest daughter was murdered during an argument in Kansas City, Missuri. Last year, the single mther lst her jb in the recessin (经济衰退).(Shetara Sims 经历了一些艰难的岁月。2012 年，她的大女儿在密苏里州堪萨斯城的一次争吵中被谋杀。去年，这位单亲妈妈在经济衰退中失去了工作)”以及第二段“S they bught a lttery ticket (彩票) --and wn $100.(于是她们买了一张彩票，中了 100 美元)”可知，Shetara Sims 是一位单亲妈妈，不得不独自抚养孩子、在经济衰退期间失去了工作、她的大女儿在一次争吵中丧生，文章没有提及 Shetara Sims 买彩票亏了很多钱。故选 B 项。
37．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Shetara Sims had weathered sme tugh years. In 2012, her eldest daughter was murdered during an argument in Kansas City, Missuri. Last year, the single mther lst her jb in the recessin (经济衰退). She had nly $7 in her pcket as she headed int the

经历了一些艰难的岁月。2012 年，她的大女儿在密苏里州堪萨斯城的一次争吵中被谋杀。
去年，这位单亲妈妈在经济衰退中失去了工作。去年 7 月的一天，当她和 12 岁的女儿 Rakiya Edmndsn 走进杂货店时，口袋里只有 7 美元)”以及第二段“She and her daughter fund a
dllar bill in the parking lt. Maybe this was their day, they tld each ther. S they bught a
lttery ticket --and wn $100.(她和女儿在停车场发现了一张一美元的钞票。也许这是她们的 一天，她们告诉对方。于是她们买了一张彩票，中了 100 美元)”可知，在面临许多困难时，这对母女捡到一美元，买彩票之后中了 100 美元，可推知幸运女神给了 Shetara Sims 一个喘息的机会，划线句子表示“让 Shetara Sims 休息一下” 。故选 A 项。
38 ．推理判断题。根据第三段““With her current financial hardship, we encuraged her t keep the mney,” the department later explained. “She refused, saying the fficer’s family needed it
and plice needed t knw they were supprted.”(“鉴于她目前的经济困难，我们鼓励她保留这笔钱，”该部门后来解释道。“她拒绝了，说警察的家人需要，警察需要知道他们得到了支
持。”)” 以及第四段“By then, that feeling f supprt was mutual. The plice set up a GFundMe page fr Sims, whm they called “The Wman with the Heart f Gld.”(到那时，这种支持感是 相互的。警方为 Sims 建立了一个 GFundMe 页面，他们称她为“有黄金之心的女人”)”可知， Sims 被称为“有黄金之心的女人” ，这是因为 Sims在自己经济困难的时候，仍然捐赠了彩票中奖的钱。故选 C 项。
39．细节理解题。根据第四段“Even better: Officer Mss, wh had a 1 percent chance f survival, is ut f the hspital and recvering.(更好的是：有 1%的生还几率的 Mss 警官现在已经出院，正在康复中)”可知，Mss 警官的生还几率渺茫，能够生还真是一个奇迹。故选 D 项。

这篇文章主要介绍了传统皮革污染环境且危害工人健康，科学家研发出用细菌培养的环保皮革鞋，介绍了其制作过程与优势，并给出了实用的环保建议。
40 ．细节理解题。根据第一个图表中“But the chemicals typically used t preserve the animal
skins are bad fr the envirnment. The chemicals pllute the water and air nearby, and they can
make the leather wrkers sick. (但通常用于保存动物皮的化学物质对环境有害。这些化学物质
会污染附近的水源和空气，还会让皮革工人生病。)” 以及“But in the future, yu might slip n a mre sustainable pair f shes. Natinal Gegraphic Explrer Theane Schirs is experimenting
with bacteria and living things — t “grw” shes with a similar texture t real leather! The shes are zer waste, chemical free, fully decmpsable and still super strng. Discver hw these cl kicks cme t life. (但在未来，你可能会穿上一双更可持续的鞋子。《国家地理》探险家西奥纳·希罗斯正在尝试利用细菌和生物来“培育”具有与真皮革相似质地的鞋子！这些鞋子是零废弃、无化学物质、完全可分解的，而且仍然非常坚固。了解这些酷炫的鞋子是如何诞生的。)”可知，研发细菌培养鞋的核心目的是解决传统皮革产业的环境污染问题和工人健康问题。①“提升鞋子质量”和②“ 改进视觉设计”在原文中均未提及。
41．细节理解题。根据第二个图表中“Next the team cleans the mass and treats it with a sunflwer seed-based recipe t make the material sft and strng — similar t traditinal leather. ( 接下来，团队会对这种材料进行清洗处理，并用一种以葵花籽为原料的配方对其进行处理，以使材料变得柔软且坚固——类似于传统的皮革。)”可知，原文明确提到用葵花籽配方处理后，材料会变得柔软坚固，质地与传统皮革相似，ABD 选项均与原文实意不符。
42 ．推理判断题。通读全文以及文章标题为“COOL INVENTIONS”（酷炫发明），可知，这篇文章语言通俗易懂，用图文结合的方式介绍环保新科技，还包含面向普通读者的环保小贴士，明显是为普通科学爱好者撰写的科普文章，而非面向专业学者或行业从业者。
43 ．A 44 ．B 45 ．C 46 ．A
本文为议论文。文章通过类比讽刺与爵士乐的共性引入主题，论证 "减少讽刺、倡导善意机智" 的观点，剖析讽刺的本质危害、与机智的核心区别，最终给出沟通建议。
43 ．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Sarcasm and jazz have smething surprisingly in
cmmn: Yu knw them when yu hear them.(讽刺和爵士乐之间竟有着惊人的相似之处：当你听到它们的时候，就能立刻辨别出来。)”可知，讽刺和爵士乐之间的相似之处在于“一听就能识别出来” 。故选 A 项。
44．细节理解题。根据文章第五段内容“What’s mre, since actins strngly determine thughts and feelings, when a persn cnsistently acts sarcastically it may nly serve t heighten their
underlying hstility and insecurity.(此外，由于行为会极大地影响思想和情感，如果一个人总是以讽刺的方式行事，这可能只会加剧他们内心深处的敌意和不安感。)”可知，持续讽刺行为会强化内在的敌意和不安全感。故选 B 项。
45 ．细节理解题。根据文章第六段内容“Alternatively, when a persn stps vicing negative
cmments, especially sarcastic nes, they may sn start t feel happier and mre self-cnfident.
Als, ther peple in their life benefit even mre because they n lnger have t hear the
emtinally hurtful language f sarcasm.(另外，当一个人不再发表负面评论（尤其是带有讽刺意味的评论）时，他们很快就会开始感到更加快乐和自信。而且，他们生活中的其他人也会受益更多，因为他们不再需要听到那种充满情感伤害的讽刺话语了。)”可知，停止讽刺后，本人更快乐自信，周围人因免受伤害而获益更多，即，对自己，对周围的人都有益处。故选 C 项。
46 ．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Thus, the main difference between wit and sarcasm is
that, as already stated, sarcasm is ften hstility disguised as humr. It can be intended t hurt and is ften bitter and biting. Witty statements are usually in respnse t smene’s unhelpful remarks r behavirs, and the intent is t untangle and clarify the issue by emphasizing its ridicule.(因此，
机智与讽刺的主要区别在于：正如我们之前所说，讽刺往往是以幽默的形式来掩饰敌意的。它的目的往往在于伤害他人，并且通常带有尖刻和刺耳的意味。机智的言论通常是对他人无益的言论或行为的回应，其目的在于通过强调其荒谬之处来理清并阐明问题。)”可知，讽刺是“伪装成幽默的敌意” ，意图伤人；机智则“无恶意且幽默” ，无敌意，意图理清问题。由此推知，二者的主要区别在于意图不同。故选 A 项。
47 ．C 48 ．A 49 ．E 50 ．F
文章主要介绍了品牌影响力正在衰退，过去品牌因信息匮乏成为品质保障，而如今互联网、各类测评与社交媒体让消费者获取信息更便捷，人们不再依赖品牌，品牌忠诚度大幅下降。
47 ．根据前文“Abslute Value, a new bk by Itamar Simnsn and Emanuel Rsen, shws that, histrically, the rise f brands was a respnse t an infrmatin-pr envirnment.(Itamar
Simnsn 和 Emanuel Rsen 的新书《绝对价值》指出，从历史上来看，品牌的兴起是对信息匮乏环境的一种回应。)” 以及后文“If a car was made by G.M., r a ketchup by Heinz, yu
assumed that it was pretty gd.(如果一辆汽车由通用汽车生产，或是番茄酱由亨氏制造，你就会认为它的品质不错。)” 可知，空前追溯品牌的兴起，空后举例说明对品牌的依赖，故空格处需说明信息闭塞年代品牌的作用；选项 C“When cnsumers had t rely n
advertisements and their past experience with a cmpany, brands served as a guarantee fr
quality.(当消费者只能依靠一家公司的广告和过往消费经验时，品牌就充当了品质的保障。)” 贴合上下文逻辑。
48 ．根据前文“This started back with Cnsumer Reprts, which did bjective studies f
prducts.(这一变化始于《消费者报告》，该刊物会对产品开展客观测评。)” 以及后文“It has given rdinary cnsumers easy access t expert reviews, user reviews, and detailed prduct data,
in an array f categries.(它让普通消费者可以轻松获取各类产品的专业评测、用户评价和详 细产品数据。)” 可知，空处需点明 it 的指代对象；选项 A“But what’s really weakened the pwer f brands is the Internet.(但真正削弱品牌影响力的是互联网。)” 承接了上文的信息获取变化，又引出了下文互联网的具体作用，衔接自然。
49 ．根据前文“A recent study fund that eighty per cent f cnsumers lk at nline reviews
befre making majr purchases, and a hst f studies have lgged the strng influence thse
reviews have n the decisins peple make.(近期一项研究发现：八成消费者在进行大额消费前都会查看线上评价，且大量研究也记录表明，这些评价对人们的消费决策有着巨大影响。)”说明消费者依赖网络评价，后文“An undesirable prduct can becme a laughingstck in a matter f hurs.(一款劣质产品短短数小时内就会沦为笑柄。)” 说明信息传播速度变得极快；选项 E“The rise f scial media has sped up the trend t an astnishing degree.(社交媒体的兴起将这一趋势加速到了惊人的程度。)” 衔接了上文的评价影响与下文的快速传播。
50 ．根据前文“But infrmatin verlad is largely a myth.(但信息过载在很大程度上是一种谬论。)” 可知，消费者并不会被海量信息困扰；选项 F“Mst cnsumers figure ut hw t find what they’re lking fr withut spending huge amunts f time nline.(大多数消费者都能高效找到自己需要的信息，无需花费大量上网时间。)” 解释了信息过载是谬论的原因，与前文观点保持一致，逻辑通顺。
