Ⅱ. 完形填空(共20小題，滿分30分)
We all have an inner voice. Sometimes it is supportive; other times, it can become overly ____16____. The good news is that our inner voice cuts both ways, meaning it can be for or against us. Fortunately, researchers like psychologist Ethan Kross have discovered effective strategies to improve our inner dialogue. Still, one might wonder: can a voice inside our head really shape the way we live Surprisingly, the answer is yes.
One powerful method is called self-distancing. When facing challenges, instead of thinking “I’m failing,” you can create psychological distance by referring to yourself in the ____17____ person or by using your name. Saying, “[Your Name], you’re learning through this,” reduces emotional reactivity and brings more ____18____ to the situation. This slight change helps people manage their feelings and make more ____19____ decisions during difficult times. Admittedly, this may feel strange or artificial at first — after all, we’re not used to addressing ourselves like another person. But such discomfort is often a sign of growth.
Another approach is learning to recognize and adjust your inner voice. Our internal dialogue helps us plan, solve problems, and stay motivated. However, if it becomes negative, it can also cause anxiety and ____20____ our relationships. Kross suggests that we make the most of its advantages while keeping its downsides in check. But how do we silence a voice that lives inside us Maybe we don’t have to — maybe we can teach it to speak differently. When you catch yourself being overly fault-finding, try ____21____ roles — from inner critic to inner coach. Instead of tearing yourself down, offer ____22____ and encouragement, just like a supportive coach would do.
In doing so, you may find your stress levels dropping and your problem-solving abilities ____23____. Building a positive inner voice is a skill that requires regular practice. Before bed, try ____24____ in a Journal about a moment when positive self-talk helped you. Think about how it shaped your reaction and what _____25_____ you learned. While negative self-talk narrows our view, constructive self-talk widens it, allowing us to see not only what went wrong — but what could still go right.
Over time, this habit can strengthen your growth mindset, _____26_____ you to embrace challenges with greater confidence and resilience. Practicing self-talk is not about ignoring problems or pretending everything is perfect. Instead, it encourages you to face difficulties with a more balanced and _____27_____ attitude.
In tough moments, a harsh inner voice may make you feel helpless, whereas a wise and compassionate voice reminds you that every setback is a _____28_____ opportunity. Rather than giving in to frustration, you can ask yourself what can be _____29_____ from the experience. After all, growth doesn’t come from avoiding hardship — it comes from changing it.
Such a mindset not only benefits your emotional health but also sharpens your ability to adapt and _____30_____solutions under pressure. Moreover, how you speak to yourself often affects how you communicate with others. A kinder inner voice tends to make you more _____31_____ in your relationships, while a negative one can easily lead to conflict. Thus, refining your self-talk is not just a matter of personal growth; it is also a way to build stronger social _____32_____.
In conclusion, by practicing self-distancing, shifting from disapproval to coaching, and reflecting on uplifting moments, you can _____33_____ your inner voice into a valuable source of strength. When used wisely, self-talk can become a powerful tool for personal _____34_____ and lasting success, helping you live a life with more purpose, confidence, and emotional _____35_____.

Some people think they are immune to ads. They might not have heard of the mere exposure effect — a psychological phenomenon where we tend to like things the more we are exposed to them.
When we plot the mere exposure effect on a graph with preferences on one axis (軸) and repetitions on the other, we will see that it takes about 15 repeats for the effect to reach its full potential. If the exposure is too excessive (過度), people get annoyed. And if they didn’t like the thing initially, repeating it can make it worse.
There are two main explanations for the phenomenon. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could potentially harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad consequences, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual (知覺的) fluency. We are also hardwired to prefer simple things that take little mental load. Difficult tasks like figuring out something new take lots of attention and time, which is why we try to avoid them.
Known for discovering the effect was psychologist Robert Zajonc, who tested how subjects responded to specific symbols. A group of people were shown a series of random shapes which changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the subjects were asked which shapes they found most pleasing, they chose those to which they had been exposed the most often, even though they had no conscious awareness of that.
The results showed that changes in preferences caused by repeated exposures depend not on any prior subjective and conscious evaluations of the stimulus but rather on results from the objective history of exposures alone.
Now tell us what you think about ads. If mere exposure to them makes us like things we otherwise wouldn’t, should billboards (廣告牌) be banned from the public area
36. Which of the following graphs best illustrates the mere exposure effect
A. B.
C. D.
37. According to Zajonc’s experiment, what drives changes in preferences
A. Random variation. B. Objective analysis.
C. Subjective judgment. D. Subconscious familiarity.
38. Which activity shows the application of the mere exposure effect
A. A novelist organizes a book signing event.
B. A game studio develops a challenging mode.
C. A singer buys hot recommendations on a music app.
D. A fashion brand reintroduces certain classic designs.
39. Why does the author mention ads at the end of the text
A. To criticize fake advertising. B. To oppose outdoor advertising.
C. To point out the drawbacks of ads. D. To caution against the influence of ads.

It has long been assumed that noise pollution poses a challenge solely to animals; however, recent research conducted by Ali Akbar has unveiled that plants, too, are negatively impacted.
That plants can be damaged indirectly by noise pollution has never been in doubt. Since most flowering species depend upon pollinators (授粉者) and most fruit-bearing species need animals to spread around their seeds, it is apparent that if these animal partners are impaired by noise then their botanical counterparts will do badly, too. What has remained unknown is whether or not plants themselves suffer directly from noise pollution.
Scientists have previously assumed that plants may be able to sense sound waves as they are struck by them. A number of experiments have confirmed this in recent years — plants heavily exposed to ultrasound in the lab have shown a range of negative responses including the expression of stress-related genes, slowed growth and reduced development of seeds. Yet attacking plants with ultrasound is not the same as growing them in the presence of actual traffic noise. To this end, Ali Akbar decided to set up an experiment to study precisely this questions.
Working with a team of colleagues, he grew marigolds (孔雀草) and sage (鼠尾草) in his lab that are commonly found in urban environments. The plants were divided into two groups after getting mature. One group was exposed to 73 decibels of traffic noise. The other group was left to grow in silence. After 15 days had passed, samples were taken from the youngest fully expanded leaves on every plant in the experiment and studied.
None of the plants exposed to the traffic noise did well. Analysis of their leaves revealed that all of them were suffering. The team found that a range of hormones (荷爾蒙) normally associated with healthy growth and development in plants were present at significantly reduced levels in the plants exposed to the noise. Two stress hormones, which are normally produced to prevent insect attacks and deal with salty soil or very cold temperatures, were elevated.
Ali Akbar’s findings make it clear that though plants lack cars, the noise of traffic still bothers them enough to trigger dramatic stress responses that are not much different to those that would be found in plants exposed to drought, highly concentrated salt or heavy metals in their soil.
An emerging inquiry concerns whether all forms of noise pollution exert (施加) uniform effects across different species. Given that the natural world is by no means silent, it remains an open question whether certain plant species have evolved coping mechanisms, which might in time, be identified and potentially transferred into urban-adapted species. This remains a promising fronter for future research.
40. What did scientists believe in the past
A. Noise is a problem directly facing both animals and plants.
B. Plants can be affected by noise in an indirect way.
C. Animal partners can do harm to their botanical partners.
D. Sound waves can damage plants because they have senses.
41. What did Ali Akbar want to confirm in their experiment
A. Ultrasound is similar to traffic noise in that it doesn’t harm plants.
B. Plants exposed to ultrasound exhibit negative signs of growth.
C. Traffic noise causes plants to grow unhealthily and slowly.
D. Plant leaves contain hormones dealing with a harsh environment.
42. Which of the following statements is true
A. Plants growing in silence have a reduced level of hormones.
B. Plants exposed to noise respond differently from those in drought.
C. Different noise pollution has the same effect on all species.
D. An increase in stress hormones in plants means they are in hardship.
43. What can be inferred as a possible reason plants react negatively to traffic noise
A. The noise may interfere with light absorption processes.
B. It sets off stress signals similar to those from harsh environments.
C. The plants lose their ability to attract pollinators effectively.
D. Noise increases the production of growth-related hormones.
44. What can we infer from the passage
A. Some plants may not necessarily be harmed by the sound in nature.
B. Some plants have surely developed a method to cope with traffic noise.
C. Unban-living species can be engineered to grow well in the natural world.
D. The silence in nature promotes the development of noise coping mechanisms.

If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2 You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.”
In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”
In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.
Nine further experiments used. online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (門檻), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accenting the offer.
Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds.
If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” (幻影成本) imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.”
Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.
The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”
45. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie
A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer.
C. They think the offer 1s not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time.
46. In the initial cookie experiment, what assumption did many participants make when the cookie was offered along with $2
A. The cookie might have been contaminated in some way.
B. The money was not enough to influence their decision.
C. The offer was part of a long-term marketing campaign.
D. The cookie was likely of lower quality than expected.
47 What explanation does the study give for why overly generous offers are perceived as less appealing
A. They highlight the flaws in the standard economic model.
B. They directly contradict economic gain expectations.
C. They-reduce the offer’s perceived psychological value.
D. They remind people of negative past experiences with cheating.
48. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment
A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices.
B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices.
C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples.
D. To show giving justifications can increase acceptance of offers.
49. What broader implication can be drawn from the study’s conclusion
A. People are less likely to accept help when it comes with no cost.
B. Social judgments often outweigh rational economic decisions.
C. Economic decisions are often influenced by material rewards.
D. Humans consistently prioritize short-term over long-term benefits.

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson was thrilled — and surprised. When he came to New York to study photography five years ago, he found a rich collection of images of life in Africa, past and present, in the city’s libraries, galleries and museums. Here he was thousands of miles from Ghana surrounded by more visual history of Africa than he had ever seen back home. That led to an idea: create a library of photobooks in Ghana, which allows people to learn about their own history and gives them the tools to tell new stories of the continent. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. Dikan means “take the lead” in the Akan language.
To create the center, Ninson travelled around New York City for books to ship to Ghana. He searched secondhand stores on the Lower East Side, engaged in online bidding wars and reached out to publishers and galleries, some of whom donated hundreds of materials. He maxed out his credit cards and lined his apartment walls with books, using Uber and U-Haul trucks to transport the books to storage units he rented across the city.
He managed to amass more than 30,000 volumes — mainly about photography, filmmaking, but also issues of publications like National Geographic dating back to the early 1940s. Ninson had additional support from his friend and collaborator, Brandon Stanton, who started a GoFundMe that raised over $1.2 million for the founding of Dikan. In December 2022, the Dikan Center was opened. In a former residence that was renovated to house the center, anyone is welcome to sit with the African story as long as they’d like.
Michael Itkoff, a supporter of Ninson and the Dikan Center from the start, says photobooks offer a different visual experience in today’s world, which is often focused on the volume and speed of images available online. “The photobook allows for an intimate and more slowed down — and I would say elegant — experience of visuals,” says Itkoff.
