第二部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

第一节（共10小题）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

The concept of a "circular economy" is gaining traction worldwide as a sustainable alternative to the traditional linear model of "take, make, dispose." In a circular economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them while in use, then recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of each service life. This approach not only reduces waste and pollution but also creates economic opportunities and builds resilience.

For example, a smartphone manufacturer might design phones that are easier to repair, upgrade, and eventually recycle. Instead of selling the phone, the company could lease it, taking responsibility for its entire lifecycle. When the customer is ready for an upgrade, the old phone is returned, its components are refurbished or recycled, and the materials are used to make new phones. This model requires a fundamental shift in both business strategies and consumer behavior.

16. What is the main purpose of the circular economy model?

A. To increase the speed of production.

B. To maximize the use and reuse of resources.

C. To lower the initial cost of products for consumers.

D. To encourage more frequent replacement of goods.

17. How does the smartphone example illustrate the circular economy?

A. By showing how companies can sell more products.

B. By demonstrating a shift from ownership to service.

C. By proving that recycling is always profitable.

D. By focusing on the importance of advanced technology.

18. What does the word "traction" in the first paragraph most likely mean?

A. Friction. B. Attention. C. Popularity. D. Resistance.

B

Recent psychological studies suggest that the way we perceive time is highly subjective and can be influenced by numerous factors, including emotion, attention, and age. When we are engaged in enjoyable and absorbing activities, time seems to "fly." Conversely, during periods of boredom, anxiety, or pain, time can feel agonizingly slow. This phenomenon is often explained by the brain's allocation of cognitive resources; novel or complex situations require more mental processing, making events seem longer in retrospect.

Furthermore, our perception of time tends to accelerate as we age. A year to a five-year-old represents 20% of their life, making it feel substantial, whereas to a fifty-year-old, it is only 2%, passing in what feels like a blink. This logarithmic timescale theory posits that we gauge time intervals relative to the total time we have already lived.

19. According to the passage, why does time seem to pass quickly during enjoyable activities?

A. Because we are less focused on the passage of time itself.

B. Because enjoyable activities are usually shorter in duration.

C. Because the brain processes pleasant memories more slowly.

D. Because our biological clock speeds up when we are happy.

20. What does the logarithmic timescale theory attempt to explain?

A. Why children have better memories than adults.

B. Why the perception of time speeds up with age.

C. How to measure time more accurately.

D. How emotion directly controls our internal clock.

21. Which of the following situations would likely make time feel the slowest?

A. Reading a captivating novel on a weekend afternoon.

B. Waiting for test results in a doctor's office.

C. Attending a familiar weekly routine meeting.

D. Playing a favorite video game.

That day, I learned that true courage is not the ___31___ of fear. It is the decision to act ___32___ the fear. It's the voice that says, "I am terrified, but I will do what needs to be done anyway." Anna's courage was ___33___ in action, not in the lack of emotion. It was a profound lesson that has stayed with me ever since. Now, whenever I feel afraid of a new challenge—a difficult conversation, a career change, a personal risk—I remember Anna on that ridge.

Text 9

The rapid growth of online learning platforms has transformed education, offering unprecedented flexibility and access to resources. Critics argue that it lacks the social interaction of traditional classrooms and requires immense self-motivation. While these are valid concerns, I believe the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. The key factor for success in an online environment isn't fancy software or fast internet—it's self-discipline. Students must learn to manage their time effectively, set their own goals, and persist without constant external supervision. These are invaluable life skills. Therefore, while online learning presents challenges, it ultimately empowers learners to take charge of their own educational journey.
