I’m walking arund the huse with a severe limp (跛行) and actively secnd-guessing every decisin I’ ve ever made That can nly mean ne thing: I just ran my ne race fr the year.
The 7-mile race is in my hmetwn in Illinis, and I’ ve been ding it almst every year since I was a 12-year-ld by. I reached my peak abut 15 years ag and have been perfrming prly ever since.
Why d I keep ging if I n lnger enjy it and am getting wrse every year? Traditin, mstly. Besides, I dn’t dislike the whle race, just the running part. I like seeing all the running club members I’ ve knwn since childhd, and I lve the free beer afterward. Running is just a minr blck n the way t the gd stuff.
That day, I was accmpanied t the race by a grup f three extremely in-shape peple. We all live in the same Indianaplis suburb. These guys bike and run cuntless miles, ften in the same day. One has dne dzens f Spartan Races, which require the player t crawl thrugh mud, flip tires and thrw spears. Anther is training fr a triathln (三項(xiàng)全能運(yùn)動(dòng)). In additin t being faster than me n ft, in the water and n wheels, he can als utlift me.

I pushed myself until I had a mile left, at which pint my legs decided they were dne. Determinatin and a can-d attitude are n match fr gravity and distance. Exhausted, I slwly made my way t the finishing line.
Still, I can hnestly say I gave everything I had. My slw, pldding (步履艱難的) finish was actually a victry that prves I gave it my all. I dn’t need a huge cup t hnr my heric perfrmance. My aching knee is enugh f a suvenir.
A day later, even as my entire bdy tells me I’m an idit, I can’t help but feel that the race was a success. I’ve decided t keep ding this race as lng as my legs can supprt me.

In 2023, that hpe led t the rediscvery f Attenbrugh’s echidna, unseen fr half a century. Inspired, Thmas Evans and his team have created a database f 856 lst and 424 rediscvered species.
The database keeps grwing faster than explrers can keep up with, despite increasingly advanced technlgies fr tracing unseen creatures reaching an expertise level. The study indicates many rediscvered species appear t fllw a rather similar trend: they are big, appealing mammals r birds tending t live near humans and in mre-develped cuntries. Thus, Evans says if an animal is up t snuff but cntinues t be ut f researchers’ sight after lng searches, it’s prbably gne frever. On the cntrary, animals that dn’t exhibit the pattern fr easy rediscvery are very much alive ut there. “Because they are generally difficult t cme acrss and are therefre met with less explratry attentin, in mst cases, small, unattractive species are mre likely t be seemingly extinct but still alive,” Evans says.
Evans hpes such details will help cnservatinists like Christina Biggs, wh has been drawing upn a list f 25 “mst wanted” species fr Texas-based charity Re: wild since 2017. “Currenuly, Re: wild is finalizing its 2024 search lists, using the study’s results. We have t make hard decisins n where t put ur mney, and Evans’s research helps t direct us,” says Biggs.
But is it always in a lst species’ best interest t be fund? After a rediscvery, it can take mnths t secure an area frm hunters r turists. “In publicizing smething yu’ve rediscvered, yu’re publicizing a fd surce fr hunters,” says bilgist James Kemptn. Biggs ntes, hwever, rediscveries ften strengthen prtectin effrts. When a species is rediscvered, prtected areas will be made pssible. Biggs adds that fr sme hard- t-find species, researchers culd use Evans’s study t decide if a creature is likely still alive — and then draw brad prtected areas arund its general regin, where ther endangered species als live, rather than send pssibly fruitless explrers t the area t prve the animal’s existence.
Beynd the scientific gains, searching fr lst species plays a crucial rle in understanding and prtecting ur wrld. Once, the Yngsu Sapari cmmunity used Attenbrugh’s echidnas as a peace tl t settle arguments. “If brthers fught, they had t find an Attenbrugh’s echidna, a slutin that is increasingly difficult,” Biggs says. “S, everything is cnnected. Every species behaves in an ecsystem and fulfills a purpse.”

Over the summer, the neurscientist Christ f Kch accepted defeat n his 25-year bet with the philspher David Chalmers, a lst wager that the science f cnsciusness wuld be all wrapped up by nw. Despite decades f research, there’s little sign f shared understanding n cnsciusness, with several cmpeting theries still being debated.
In my new bk entitled Why? , I take head-n the questin f why it’s s hard t make prgress n cnsciusness. The cre difficulty is that cnsciusness cannt be easily bserved. Yu can’t lk inside smene’s brain and see their feelings and experiences. Science des deal with things that can’t be bserved, such as fundamental particles (粒子), quantum wave functins (量子波函數(shù)), and maybe even ther universes. But cnsciusness pses an imprtant difference: in all f these ther cases, we therize abut things we can’t bserve in rder t explain what we can bserve. Uniquely with cnsciusness, the thing we are trying t explain cannt be publicly bserved.
Hw then can we investigate cnsciusness? I argue that we can accunt fr the evlutin f cnsciusness nly if we reject reductinism (簡(jiǎn)化論) abut it. Mst cnsciusness researchers emply a reductinist view f the universe, where physics is running the shw. Thus, insfar as there are sme future pssibilities left pen by the arrangements f particles in ur brains, they are settled by nthing mre than the randm chanciness implicit (含蓄的) in quantum mechanics.
Sme challenges have emerged lately t this reductinist mdel. The neurscientist Kevin Mitchell argues that the free will f cnscius rganisms plays a rle in determining what will happen in the brain, ver and abve what is settled by the laws f physics. Evlutin ffers ne f the strngest challenges. Natural selectin nly cares abut behavir, as it’s nly behavir that matters fr survival. Rapid prgress in AI and rbtics has made it clear, hwever, that extremely cmplex behaviur can exist in a system that entirely lacks cnscius experience. Fr any adaptive behaviur assciated with cnsciusness, there culd be a nncnscius mechanism that inspires the same behaviur. Given this, it is a deep mystery why cnsciusness evlved at all. But suppse the emergence f bilgical cnsciusness brings int existence radically new frms f behavir, ver and abve what physics alne culd prduce. Perhaps rganisms that have cnscius awareness f the wrld arund them, and thereby freely respnd based n that awareness, behave very differently than mere mechanisms. Cnsequently, they survive much better. With these assumptins, we can make sense f natural selectin’s preference fr cnscius rganisms.
As a philspher, in Why? , I develp a radical frm — the view that cnsciusness ges right dwn t the fundamental building blcks f reality — aimed at addressing the philsphical challenges f cnsciusness, as well as prviding a framewrk fr scientists t make prgress n the scientific issues. It is a pincer mvement (鉗形運(yùn)動(dòng)) f science and philsphy that will, ultimately, crack the mystery f cnsciusness.
31. What can we learn abut cnsciusness frm this passage?
A. Cnsciusness evlves frm behavir.
B. Scientists therize cnsciusness t bserve it.
C. Cnsciusness lacks bservable phenmena t study.
D. Quantum wave functins help explain cnsciusness.
32. As fr Kevin Mitchell’s argument, the authr is .

【導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】這是一篇說(shuō)明文。主要介紹當(dāng)前意識(shí)研究領(lǐng)域面臨的困境、挑戰(zhàn)和新的探索方向,提出超越簡(jiǎn)化論來(lái)解釋意識(shí)進(jìn)化的新方向。
【31題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段“The cre difficulty is that cnsciusness cannt be easily bserved. Yu can’t lk inside smene’s brain and see their feelings and experiences.(核心困難在于意識(shí)不容易被觀察。你無(wú)法看到某人的大腦內(nèi)部,無(wú)法看到他們的情感和體驗(yàn)。)”可知,意識(shí)在人腦內(nèi)部,不易被觀察,因此選項(xiàng)C“意識(shí)缺乏可觀察的現(xiàn)象用以研究”符合題意。故選C項(xiàng)。
【32題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段“The neurscientist Kevin Mitchell argues that the free will f cnscius rganisms plays a rle in determining what will happen in the brain, ver and abve what is settled by the laws f physics.(神經(jīng)科學(xué)家Kevin Mitchell認(rèn)為,有意識(shí)生物體的自由意志在決定大腦中將發(fā)生什么方面起著作用,這超出了物理定律所決定的范圍。)”以及接下來(lái)的內(nèi)容“Given this, it is a deep mystery why cnsciusness evlved at all. But suppse the emergence f bilgical cnsciusness brings int existence radically new frms f behavir, ver and abve what physics alne culd prduce.(鑒于此,意識(shí)為何會(huì)進(jìn)化仍然是一個(gè)深?yuàn)W的謎團(tuán)。但假設(shè)生物意識(shí)出現(xiàn)卻帶來(lái)了物理定律單獨(dú)作用之外的全新行為模式。)”,可以看出作者對(duì)于Kevin Mitchell的觀點(diǎn)是支持的。因此,選項(xiàng)A“支持的”符合題意。故選A項(xiàng)。
【33題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章整體內(nèi)容,特別是第一段“Despite decades f research, there’s little sign f shared understanding n cnsciusness, with several cmpeting theries still being debated.(盡管經(jīng)歷了幾十年的研究,但對(duì)意識(shí)的理解幾乎沒(méi)有達(dá)成共識(shí)的跡象,幾個(gè)相互對(duì)立的理論仍在爭(zhēng)論中。)”和最后一段“It is a pincer mvement (鉗形運(yùn)動(dòng)) f science and philsphy that will, ultimately, crack the mystery f cnsciusness.(科學(xué)和哲學(xué)的鉗形運(yùn)動(dòng),最終將揭開(kāi)意識(shí)的神秘面紗。)”可知,從文中可推斷出的是選項(xiàng)C的“意識(shí)的本質(zhì)需進(jìn)一步研究”。故選C項(xiàng)。
【34題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容,特別是第四段“Hw then can we investigate cnsciusness? I argue that we can accunt fr the evlutin f cnsciusness nly if we reject reductinism (簡(jiǎn)化論) abut it.

We all lve t criticize, but unfrtunately, we als hate being criticized. We freely pst and cmment n thers, but feel annyed at the way thers assess us, bth nline and in persn. The wrld seems unlikely t change anytime sn. Frtunately, thugh, each f us can change hw we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback — even when it is negative.
Criticism is defined as judgment f the merits (優(yōu)點(diǎn)) and faults f smething r smene in written r spken frm. Technically, criticism can include praise, but that isn’t what cncerns us here. What annys us is criticism f the negative variety, even when well-intentined — s-called cnstructive criticism, which means t prvide guidance s we can imprve. Wrst f all is destructive criticism, which aims t cause hurt r damage.
The culture f criticism isn’t ging away. The nly way t flurish (繁榮) in it, and despite it, is t adpt new habits f getting and giving critical feedback. One rule is t assume that criticism, even when it seems persnal, is nt actually abut yu persnally. When we receive criticism, we make it persnal in tw ways. First, we may naturally analyze the critic rather than the criticism. Secnd, we tend t cnsider the criticism a judgment n ur natural abilities, rather than n ur perfrmance. Interestingly, even amng yung children, research shws that viewing criticism as a judgment n ne’s abilities can lead t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md, and less persistence at tasks.
If taking criticism is particularly hard fr yu, yu are nt alne. Hwever, taking criticism badly is mre embarrassing, ultimately, than the criticism itself. If we d the wrk t learn t accept negative feedback, we will be much better ff.

42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance.

【答案】40. We will be less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback— even when it is negative.
41. Cnstructive criticism means t prvide guidance s we can imprve, while destructive criticism aims t cause hurt r damage.
42. Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance.
They take criticism as a judgment n their abilities.

考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第一段“Frtunately, thugh, each f us can change hw we give and take criticism, which will make us less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback— even when it is negative.(幸運(yùn)的是,我們每個(gè)人都可以改變我們給予和接受批評(píng)的方式,這將使我們不太可能傷害別人,更抵制憤怒,并能更好地從反饋中獲益——即使是消極的反饋)”可知,改變我們給予和接受批評(píng)的方式會(huì)使我們不太可能傷害別人,更抵制憤怒,并能更好地從反饋中獲益——即使是消極的反饋。故答案為We will be less likely t harm thers, mre resistant t being angry, and better able t benefit frm feedback — even when it is negative.
【41題詳解】
考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第二段“What annys us is criticism f the negative variety, even when well-intentined — s-called cnstructive criticism, which means t prvide guidance s we can imprve. Wrst f all is destructive criticism, which aims t cause hurt r damage.(讓我們煩惱的是負(fù)面的批評(píng),即使是善意的所謂建設(shè)性的批評(píng),也意味著提供指導(dǎo),讓我們提高。最糟糕的是破壞性的批評(píng),它的目的是造成傷害或破壞)”可知,建設(shè)性的批評(píng)是指提供指導(dǎo),使我們能夠改進(jìn),而破壞性的批評(píng)旨在造成傷害或損害。故答案為Cnstructive criticism means t prvide guidance s we can imprve, while destructive criticism aims t cause hurt r damage.
【42題詳解】
考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段“Secnd, we tend t cnsider the criticism a judgment n ur natural abilities, rather than n ur perfrmance. Interestingly, even amng yung children, research shws that viewing criticism as a judgment n ne’s abilities can lead t lwer self-wrth, lwer psitive md, and less persistence at tasks.(第二,我們傾向于認(rèn)為批評(píng)是對(duì)我們天生能力的判斷,而不是對(duì)我們的表現(xiàn)的判斷。有趣的是,研究表明,即使是在年幼的孩子中,將批評(píng)視為對(duì)一個(gè)人能力的判斷,也會(huì)導(dǎo)致自我價(jià)值降低、積極情緒降低、任務(wù)堅(jiān)持度降低)”可推知,接受批評(píng)的孩子自我價(jià)值較低,因?yàn)樗麄儼雅u(píng)當(dāng)成對(duì)自己能力的評(píng)判,而不是表現(xiàn)得判斷。故答案為Children wh receive criticism have lwer self-wrth because they take criticism as a judgment n their perfrmance./They take criticism as a judgment n their abilities.
【43題詳解】
開(kāi)放性試題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“If we d the wrk t learn t accept negative feedback, we will be much better ff.(如果我們努力學(xué)習(xí)接受負(fù)面反饋,我們就會(huì)變得更好)”可知,學(xué)習(xí)接受負(fù)面反饋能幫助我們更容易抵制憤怒,同時(shí)更正確地進(jìn)行批評(píng)。此外,接受負(fù)面反饋還能幫助我們正確地看待自己的不足,糾正錯(cuò)誤并提高自己。故答案為L(zhǎng)earning t accept negative feedback can help us resist anger mre easily and criticize mre crrectly. In additin, accepting negative feedback can help us put ur shrtcmings in perspective, crrect ur mistakes and imprve urselves.
