这组题的难点在于：第一，对象要分清——对话里Dan、Oria以及可能出现的导师或第三位学生轮番发言，选项里说的是“another student”还是“their own idea”，必须精 确对应说话人，听岔一个就关联全错。第二，题干限定词很关键——比如第27-28题问的是“both groups”的共同结论，不是某一个组的发现，对话里会把两组结果分开讲，需要考生自己判断交集在哪里，原文不会直接提醒你。整体属于中高难度，拼的是边听边理清谁说了什么、题干到底在限什么范围、以及选项被翻成了什么花样。

参考原文：
Reef fish study
Paragraph A
For decades, marine biologists have explored how reef fish avoid being hunted by predators. Early research narrowly focused on escape speed as the sole survival advantage, yet modern studies confirm anti-predator capacity relies on multiple interrelated traits. Such characteristics include body size, escape speed, growth rate, visual acuity and body shape. Reef fish undergo dramatic physical transformations from larval to juvenile and adult phases, and individual developmental patterns differ widely across species. Tiny juvenile fish face constant threats from small crevice predators; many species like triggerfish wedge themselves into rock gaps by extending sharp spines to block attackers when resting.
Paragraph B
A popular ecological hypothesis labelled “larger is better” claims bigger fish suffer lower predation pressure. Scientists supporting this theory argue larger individuals possess superior visual development, faster swimming and stronger digestive systems. Field observations note large predators consistently target medium-sized prey rather than tiny larvae or fully mature adults. This preference for mid-size prey is linked to improved visual acuity, greater digestive capacity and sustained speed performance in mature hunters.
Paragraph C
However, controlled laboratory experiments have challenged the simple “bigger equals safer” assumption. Researchers tracked energy trade-offs for reef fish at different growth stages. Juvenile fish devote nearly all nutritional intake to rapid body expansion, while adult fish allocate energy to reproduction and daily foraging, resulting in slower overall body growth. Medium-sized reef fish face the highest mortality risk: they are too large to hide in coral micro-crevices yet too small to outswim top reef predators.
Paragraph D
Mouth size is a decisive factor separating predator and prey reef fish species. Carnivorous hunters evolve wide, elongated jaws to capture moving prey, while herbivorous reef fish such as yellow tang develop small, compact mouths to scrape algae off coral surfaces. Most reef fish remain loyal to fixed small territories where they memorise every hiding spot; schooling species travel long distances to feed but return to familiar shelter at dusk.
Paragraph E
Field data collected during new moon cycles delivers the most reliable predation statistics. Under dim lunar light, large visual predators lose their hunting advantage, so small reef fish enjoy temporary safety. Researchers contrast this with full moon conditions, when clear water visibility raises mortality rates for medium-sized fish by over 60%. Scientists conclude body size only partially determines survival, and environmental light conditions act as an equally powerful variable shaping reef fish population numbers.

Children’s Comprehension of Television Advertising
Paragraph A
In 1874, long before television appeared, the British Parliament passed legislation to shield children from manipulative salesmen. This was one of the earliest official policies acknowledging children’s vulnerability to commercial persuasion. Remarkably, the core concerns raised back then remain relevant to modern TV advertising targeted at young audiences.
Paragraph B
Television has long been advertisers’ primary channel to reach children. Statistics show an average child views over 40,000 short TV commercials annually. Researcher McNeal (1987) calculated that under-14s make direct purchases worth $24 billion and sway family spending of $190 billion, explaining why brands invest heavily in kid-focused marketing.
Paragraph C
Multiple shifts in media culture have triggered a sharp rise in child-targeted adverts. Decades ago, children’s TV programmes only aired at times when few adults watched, such as weekend mornings (Turow, 1981). Today, kids’ content runs throughout prime time, alongside technological innovations like split-screen adverts and pop-up promotional overlays inserted mid-programme. The most heavily advertised products for children fall into four categories: sugary cereals, soft drinks, sweets and savoury snacks. Many governments now enforce restrictions banning junk food adverts during children’s viewing hours.
Paragraph D
Advertisers rely on two popular tactics to hold young viewers’ attention. The first is fantasy-filled scenes with cartoon characters and magical plots; the second is upbeat, catchy soundtracks that children find far funnier than regular programme music. A controversial technique named host-selling involves the programme’smain character directly promoting a product within the show itself, blurring the boundary between content and sales messaging.
Paragraph E
Many commercials include small-print disclaimers to balance exaggerated product claims, yet young children lack the cognitive ability to decode these warnings. Liebert’s 1977 experiment proved simple plain language helps children grasp hidden information, while complex formal terms confuse them deeply. Phrases like “balanced breakfast” featured in cereal adverts mislead kids under seven, who believe a single box of cereal meets all nutritional needs. Such carefully worded fine print creates false impressions opposite to the factual truth.
Paragraph F
Children aged four or younger cannot tell television programmes and commercials apart. When asked to describe adverts, they typically describe them as just another scene within the show. Broadcasters use visual separators, such as animated logos or colour fades, to mark the transition between content and ad breaks, yet toddlers fail to recognise these visual cues.
Paragraph G
Advertising psychologists point out that modern child-focused ads prioritise emotional appeal over factual product descriptions. Instead of listing a toy’s functions or a snack’s ingredients, marketers design adverts to link brands with joy and playfulness. Meanwhile, family shopping data confirms children act as powerful influencers over all household purchasing decisions.
Paragraph H
In summary, younger children’s limited cognitive development stops them processing commercial messages the way older children or adults do. Their inability to identify selling intent makes them far more easily influenced by TV advertising of all types.

Passage 3 Design in the modern world现代设计

Design in the modern world
Paragraph A
Jonathan Chapman, a senior lecturer at the University of Brighton, UK, is one of a new breed of “sustainable designers”. Like many environmental researchers, he criticises the massive waste created by Western throwaway consumer culture and its severe ecological damage. His core goal is to create products that people want to retain instead of throwing away, alongside other designers developing recyclable, long-lasting goods. The waste generated by short-lived daily products is enormous.
Paragraph B
Household power tools such as electric drills illustrate this waste crisis vividly. Most buyers only use them for around ten minutes in their whole lifetime. Unused drills sit on garage shelves for years in what Chapman names “conscience time”: people feel guilty for wasting money and delay disposal, yet the items eventually end up buried in landfills for millennia. Every tool consumes vast amounts of raw materials in production, transport and processing, far exceeding the weight of the finished product itself.
Paragraph C
To explain people’s wasteful buying habits, Chapman analyses consumer psychology. People purchase goods to express personal identity and social belonging. However, mass-produced items lose unique symbolic meaning. In pre-industrial times, people made goods themselves or inherited them; handmade local crafts carried personal history and emotional bonds that modern mass merchandise cannot match. Without emotional attachment, consumers constantly chase novelty. When new items lose appeal, they purchase replacements, a phenomenon John Thackara terms the “schlock of the new”.
Paragraph D
Chapman’s solution is “emotionally durable design”. Designers should build lasting emotional connections between users and products. Worn jeans and well-loved teddy bears serve as typical examples: ageing alongside the owner creates irreplaceable personal memories, even when the item becomes worn out. Walter Stahel, a Swiss industrial expert, calls this the “teddy-bear factor”. Such emotional bonds stop consumers from discarding items easily.
Paragraph E
Tim Cooper from Sheffield Hallam University studies systemic sustainable design covering full product lifecycles from manufacturing to waste treatment. He admits sustainable design has been surprisingly slow to gain popularity, yet worsening resource shortages and environmental disasters are forcing industries to prioritise eco-friendly design reform.
Paragraph F
John Thackara points out two root causes of global environmental collapse: excessive weight of goods and fast global transport speed. Contrary to public belief, digital technology does not reduce resource consumption; it accelerates global resource metabolism and boosts overconsumption. To reverse this trend, Italian designer Manzini advocates a “multi-local society”, where all resources are produced, used and recycled locally to cut long-distance shipping waste.
Paragraph G
Future consumption patterns will shift away from ownership. Consumers will rent shared goods instead of buying rarely-used items. Manufacturers will sell products with built-in recycling and disposal plans to limit landfill waste. Sustainable design no longer focuses only on single objects, but entire social and economic systems.
