He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The drawing was formed “by the action of light upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical (光学的) and chemical means alone. By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera. Advocates for the technology stated that not only was it more precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper. The removal of human fallibility in the creating process was one of photography’s biggest selling points, but this also started debates about the new medium’s implications for visual culture. Could images made largely by a machine be considered art? If so, where did human creativity fit in this process? As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated (自动化的), more and more people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world. Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph. By typing a sentence, users can generate “new” images composed from images collected across the internet. The result has been a flood of AI-generated images in places that are previously unique to human authors. Painting competitions, commercial graphic design and the fashion of portraiture (肖像) have all since collided with the technology in troubling ways. The fine arts were thought to be a final hold-out of human creativity, but the surprisingly high quality of AI-generated images is producing deeper questions about the nature of originality. If the history of photography tells us anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural gatekeeping. 4. Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture? A. To downplay human factors in the creation. B. To investigate a supernatural phenomenon. C To show his advanced knowledge in science. D. To demonstrate the beauty of his country house. 5. What does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The photo of Talbot’s house. B. The image by a draftsman. C. The technology of a camera. D. The paper sensitive to light. 6. What do OpenAI and cameras have in common? A. They improve the taste of beauty. B. They advocate fashion designs. C. They challenge human agency. D. They produce original images. 7. What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography? A. Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did. B. AI-generated images will go through a similar debate. C. The nature of originality will be held in human hands. D. The fine arts will include photography and AI images. C There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK. This bias (偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage. In Australia, people who admitted to poaching (偷猎) thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms. Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a-lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help. Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-friendly products. As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article! 8. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect? A. A student spends long hours surfing the internet. B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts. C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places. D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking. 9. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching? A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread. C. It is controversial. D. It is complex. 10. What do the underlined words “go green to be seen” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Embrace green habits for better health. B. Make green choices that others can perceive. C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment. D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores. 11. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems? A. Understate social norms. B. Highlight personal responsibilities. C. Publicize sustainable practices. D. Encourage technological innovations. D The message is drummed into us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you, because it’s the right thing to do. Forgiveness is a virtue, we’re told — the only way for us to truly move on and heal, freed from the baggage of bearing ill will. However, I’m not buying it. Forgiving someone can indeed be a beautiful thing, but it’s not always what’s best for us. In fact, if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings — like anger and resentment — towards them, as if nothing happened. Actually this isn’t helpful. It pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries — to say “it’s OK” when for us, it isn’t. While it’s not a good idea to focus on negative thoughts, recognizing and processing all of that pain is an important part of the healing journey. And when someone doesn’t make us feel seen or safe, forgiving them can actually reduce our self-esteem. A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that folks who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves. Letting minor offences that happen now and again slide can be great for any relationship, but repeatedly forgiving bad behavior can encourage that person to keep hurting you. At least, that’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James McNulty argues. He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts, the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them. McNulty suggests that this is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being offered a clean slate can be a kind of pass to avoid making changes. So forgiving frequent and major offences, like verbal or physical abuse, can do more harm than good. For me, this speaks to the core tension in the idea. Instead of looking to forgiveness like a magic medicine, we can focus on recognizing what happened and coming to terms with it, however that looks for us and without any sense of obligation towards our offender. 12. What does the author think about the message in paragraph 1? A. It’s reasonable. B. It’s debatable. C. It’s convincing. D. It’s unquestionable. 13. How does the author develop the text? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving statistics. C. By quoting researchers’ views. D. By sharing his own experiences. 14. What does the underlined words “a clean slate” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. A repeated offence. B. A magic medicine. C. A terrible consequence. D. A complete forgiveness. 15. Which can be the best title of the text? A. Forgiving is always a virtue. B. Forgiving can change everything. C. Forgiving others sometimes depends. D. Forgiving others always seems impossible. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life. ____16____ Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse.

They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. ____17____ Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well. ____18____ Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. ____19____ The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. ____20____ The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media. A. Anticipation itself is pleasurable. B. Decrease unnecessary socializing. C. Find someone to call or FaceTime. D. This “growth mindset” helps people stay energized. E.

A recent study goes a step further: Make discomfort a direct goal. That’s more likely to motivate you ___36___ if you only focus on what you hope to learn. In the first of five experiments, the researchers assigned several hundred students training at Second City Chicago ___37___(participate) in a small-group improvisation(即兴) exercise, and then instructed half of the group that their goal during the session was “to feel awkward and uncomfortable.” The rest, ___38___(that) in the control group, ___39___(tell) to “feel yourself developing new skills.” Members of the first group kept at the exercise longer than the others did and took ___40___(great) risks.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BCACA 6-10BABCA 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 ABACB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 华中师大一附中2024年高考考前测试卷 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Why did Talbot declare that his house had drawn its own picture? A. To downplay human factors in the creation. B. To investigate a supernatural phenomenon. C. To show his advanced knowledge in science. D. To demonstrate the beauty of his country house. 5. What does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The photo of Talbot’s house. B. The image by a draftsman. C. The technology of a camera. D. The paper sensitive to light. 6. What do OpenAI and cameras have in common? A. They improve the taste of beauty. B. They advocate fashion designs. C. They challenge human agency. D. They produce original images. 7. What did the author indicate by referring to the history of photography? A. Cultural gatekeepers will solve the issue as they did. B. AI-generated images will go through a similar debate. C. The nature of originality will be held in human hands. D. The fine arts will include photography and AI images. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能可以代替人类进行作画，其出现引起了人们的讨论类似于当初摄影的出现。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“He declared that his was the first house ever known to have drawn its own picture. The drawing was formed “by the action of light upon sensitive paper. ” Photography offered nature a “pencil” to paint herself through optical (光学的) and chemical means alone.(他宣称他的房子是已知的第一个自己画房子的房子。这幅画是“光在感光纸上的作用”形成的。摄影为大自然提供了一支“铅笔”，仅通过光学和化学手段为自己作画)”可知，塔尔博特宣称他的房子画了自己的画是为了淡化创作中的人为因素。故选A。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“By the mid-nineteenth century, people no longer needed to hire a draftsman to draw detailed images because the process could be completed instantly with a camera.(到19世纪中期，人们不再需要聘请绘图员来绘制详细的图像，因为这个过程可以用相机立即完成)”以及划线词后文“more precise than the human hand-it was faster and cheaper”可知，照相机的技术不仅比人手更精确，而且更快、更便宜。故划线词指的是“照相机的技术”，故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“As the twenty-first century becomes increasingly automated (自动化的), more and more people attempt to identify where human agency exists in the technologically driven world. Images generated with artificial intelligence by companies like OpenAI are stimulating questions like those that emerged with the coming of the photograph.(随着二十一世纪变得越来越自动化，越来越多的人试图确定人类在技术驱动的世界中的作用。OpenAI等公司用人工智能生成的图像引发了一些问题，就像照片出现时出现的那些问题一样)”可知，OpenAI和相机的共同之处在于都挑战了人类的作用。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If the history of photography tells us anything, it’s that the debate won’t be settled quickly, straightforwardly or by the institutions we typically associate with cultural gatekeeping.(如果说摄影的历史告诉了我们什么，那就是这场争论不会很快、直截了当地得到解决，也不会由我们通常与文化把关联系在一起的机构来解决)”可推知，作者提到摄影的历史是想说明人工智能生成的图像将经历类似的辩论。故选B。 C There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent (普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK. This bias (偏见) allows people to justify socially unacceptable or illegal behaviors. Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting. More recently, conservationists are beginning to reveal how this effect contributes to environmental damage. In Australia, people who admitted to poaching (偷猎) thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view. The false consensus effect has also shown up in studies examining support for nuclear energy and offshore wind farms. Just as concepts from psychology can help explain some forms of environmental damage, so too can they help address it. For example, research shows people are more likely to litter in areas where there’s already a-lot of trash scattered around; so making sure the ground around a bin is not covered in rubbish may help. Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors. Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people to “go green to be seen”, or to publicly buy eco-friendly products. As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article! 8. Which example best illustrates the false consensus effect? A. A student spends long hours surfing the internet. B. A blogger assumes many people dislike his posts. C. A driver frequently parks illegally in public places. D. A smoker believes people generally approve of smoking. 9. How did most Australian fishers view the issue of poaching? A. It is unacceptable. B. It is widespread. C. It is controversial. D. It is complex. 10. What do the underlined words “go green to be seen” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Embrace green habits for better health. B. Make green choices that others can perceive. C. Join green movements for personal fulfillment. D. Choose green items that are easy to spot in stores. 11. What is a recommended approach to addressing environmental problems? A. Understate social norms. B. Highlight personal responsibilities. C. Publicize sustainable practices. D. Encourage technological innovations. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，介绍了什么是“错误共识效应”，并说明可以通过这一效应背后的心理学原理来实施社会规范，从而鼓励和推广环境友好行为。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“There’s a useful concept from psychology that helps explain why good people do things that harm the environment: the false consensus effect. That’s where we overvalue how acceptable and prevalent(普遍的) our own behavior is in society. Put simply, if you’re doing something (even if you secretly know you probably shouldn’t), you’re more likely to think plenty of other people do it too. What’s more, you likely overestimate how much other people think that behavior is broadly OK.(心理学中有一个有用的概念，可以帮助解释为什么好人会做损害环境的事情：错误共识效应。这就是我们高估自己的行为在社会上的可接受性和普遍性的原因。简单地说，如果你正在做某事（即使你私下里知道你可能不应该做），你更有可能认为很多其他人也在做这件事。更重要的是，你可能高估了其他人对这种行为的看法)”及第二段“Researchers have observed the false consensus effect in drug use and illegal hunting.(研究人员在吸毒和非法狩猎中观察到了错误共识效应)”可知，错误共识效应表示我们高估自己的行为在社会上的可接受性和普遍性，即使自己知道这件事不应该做，D选项“吸烟者认为人们普遍赞成吸烟”就是一个典型例子。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In Australia, people who admitted to poaching(偷猎) thought it was much more prevalent in society than it really was, and had higher estimates than fishers who obeyed the law. They also believed others viewed poaching as socially acceptable; however, in reality, more than 90% of fishers held the opposite view.(在澳大利亚，承认偷猎的人认为偷猎在社会上比实际情况要普遍得多，并且比遵守法律的渔民有更高的估计。他们还认为其他人认为偷猎是社会可以接受的；然而，在现实中，超过90%的渔民持相反的观点)”可知，大多数澳大利亚渔民认为偷猎是不可接受的。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful. Energy companies have substantially reduced energy consumption simply by showing people how their electricity use compares to their neighbors.Encouragingly, stimulating people’s natural desire for status has also been successful in getting people(关于其他人如何思考和行为的事实信息是非常强大的。能源公司仅仅通过向人们展示他们与邻居的用电量对比，就大幅减少了能源消耗。令人鼓舞的是，激发人们对身份的自然渴望也成功地吸引了人们)”及划线词后文“或者公开购买环保产品”可推知，激发人们对于身份的自然渴望能吸引人们做出能让别人感知到的绿色生活的选择，划线词表示“做出别人能感知到的绿色生活的选择”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As the research evidence shows, social norms can be a powerful force in encouraging and popularizing environmentally friendly behaviors. Perhaps you can do your bit by sharing this article!(研究证据表明，社会规范可以成为鼓励和推广环境友好行为的强大力量。也许你可以通过分享这篇文章来尽你的一份力)”及倒数第二段“Factual information on how other people think and behave can be very powerful.(关于其他人如何思考和行为的事实信息是非常强大的)”可推知，通过社会规范公布其他人的思考和行为信息可以鼓励和推广环境友好行为，因此，宣传可持续实践是一个值得推荐的处理环境问题的方法。故选C。 D The message is drummed into us from childhood: forgive people who’ve wronged you, because it’s the right thing to do. Forgiveness is a virtue, we’re told — the only way for us to truly move on and heal, freed from the baggage of bearing ill will. However, I’m not buying it. Forgiving someone can indeed be a beautiful thing, but it’s not always what’s best for us. In fact, if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. Most of us would probably agree that forgiving a wrongdoer means letting go of negative feelings — like anger and resentment — towards them, as if nothing happened. Actually this isn’t helpful. It pressures us to minimize our feelings and revise our boundaries — to say “it’s OK” when for us, it isn’t. While it’s not a good idea to focus on negative thoughts, recognizing and processing all of that pain is an important part of the healing journey. And when someone doesn’t make us feel seen or safe, forgiving them can actually reduce our self-esteem. A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that folks who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves. Letting minor offences that happen now and again slide can be great for any relationship, but repeatedly forgiving bad behavior can encourage that person to keep hurting you. At least, that’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James McNulty argues. He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts, the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them. McNulty suggests that this is because facing the consequences of their actions is what motivates people to change their ways, and being offered a clean slate can be a kind of pass to avoid making changes. So forgiving frequent and major offences, like verbal or physical abuse, can do more harm than good. For me, this speaks to the core tension in the idea. Instead of looking to forgiveness like a magic medicine, we can focus on recognizing what happened and coming to terms with it, however that looks for us and without any sense of obligation towards our offender. 12. What does the author think about the message in paragraph 1? A. It’s reasonable. B. It’s debatable. C. It’s convincing. D. It’s unquestionable. 13. How does the author develop the text? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving statistics. C. By quoting researchers’ views. D. By sharing his own experiences. 14. What does the underlined words “a clean slate” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. A repeated offence. B. A magic medicine. C. A terrible consequence. D. A complete forgiveness. 15. Which can be the best title of the text? A. Forgiving is always a virtue. B. Forgiving can change everything. C. Forgiving others sometimes depends. D. Forgiving others always seems impossible. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了原谅的必要性。作者认为原谅确实是一件美好的事情，但这并不总是对我们最好的。有时原谅可能弊大于利，所以原谅别人有时要视情况而定。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“However, I’m not buying it. Forgiving someone can indeed be a beautiful thing, but it’s not always what’s best for us. (然而，我并不买账。原谅别人确实是一件美好的事情，但这并不总是对我们最好的。)”可知，作者认为第一段的信息是有争议的。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“A 2010 research paper published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that folks who forgave partners that didn’t make them feel valued had less respect for themselves. (2010年发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一篇研究论文发现，那些原谅了没有让他们感到有价值的伴侣的人，对自己的尊重程度更低。)”和文章第五段中“At least, that’s what 2011 research by psychology professor James McNulty argues. (至少，心理学教授詹姆斯·麦克纳尔蒂在2011年的研究中是这么认为的。)”可知，作者是引用研究者的观点展开文章的。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第五段中“He found that when a partner was more likely to forgive those acts, the aggressor was more likely to keep committing them. (他发现，当伴侣更有可能原谅这些行为时，攻击者更有可能继续犯下这些行为。)”和后文“So forgiving frequent and major offences, like verbal or physical abuse, can do more harm than good. (因此，原谅经常发生的重大过错，比如语言或身体虐待，弊大于利。)”可知，麦克纳尔蒂认为，面对自己行为的后果会促使人们改变自己的行为方式，而完全原谅他们可能是一种避免做出改变的通行证。所以“a clean slate”意思是“完全的原谅”。A. A repeated offence一再冒犯；B.A magic medicine一种神奇的药；C.A terrible consequence一个可怕的后果；D. A complete forgiveness完全的原谅。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段中“Forgiving someone can indeed be a beautiful thing, but it’s not always what’s best for us. In fact, if someone has hurt you deeply and the relationship isn’t healthy, trying to “fix” things can do more harm than good. (原谅某人确实是一件美好的事情，但这并不总是对我们最好的。事实上，如果有人深深地伤害了你，而这段关系不健康，试图“修复”事情可能弊大于利。)”和文章最后一段“For me, this speaks to the core tension in the idea. Instead of looking to forgiveness like a magic medicine, we can focus on recognizing what happened and coming to terms with it, however that looks for us and without any sense of obligation towards our offender. (对我来说，这说明了这个想法的核心张力。与其把宽恕当成一剂灵丹妙药，我们不如专注于认识到发生了什么，并接受它，不管它如何寻找我们，对冒犯我们的人没有任何义务。)”可知，作者认为原谅确实是一件美好的事情，但这并不总是对我们最好的。有时原谅可能弊大于利，所以原谅别人有时要视情况而定。选项C“Forgiving others sometimes depends (原谅别人有时要视情况而定)”符合题意。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Based on his own research at Washington University in St. Louis and other scientific studies, psychology lecturer Bono offers the following tips for getting and staying happier in your life. ____16____ Looking forward to an enjoyable experience can make it all that much sweeter. Wait a couple of days before seeing a new movie that just came out, plan your big vacation for later in the summer, and try to take time to enjoy each bite of dessert. On the opposite, get negative tasks out of the way as quickly as possible — any delay will only make them seem worse. People who focus more on process than outcome tend to remain motivated in the face of setbacks. They’re better at sticking with major challenges and prefer them over the easy route. ____17____ Because it celebrates rewards that come from the work itself. Focusing only on the outcome can lead to premature burnout if things don’t go well. ____18____ Find an activity that allows you to get together with friends on a regular, ongoing basis. A weekly happy hour, poker night, or TV show ensures consistency and motivation in your social interactions. People with high-quality relationships are not only happier, but also healthier. ____19____ The next time you are attracted to use your phone to look through social media, look through your list of contacts instead. ____20____ The happiness you get from a real connection with another person will be far greater than any comments or likes you get on social media. A Anticipation itself is pleasurable. B. Decrease unnecessary socializing. C. Find someone to call or FaceTime. D. This “growth mindset” helps people stay energized. E. Facebook and Instagram often overstate how much better off others are. F. Nothing is more important for our psychological health than high-quality friendships. G. They recover from illnesses more quickly, live longer, and enjoy more enriched lives. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. F 19. G 20.

Alice, with her curious eyes sparkling, casually asked about my friendship with Judy. In a moment of thoughtlessness, I responded, “I only hung out with Judy because she asked me and I wasn’t keen on being friends with her. She was rather dull.” The unkind words just escaped my lips before I could catch them, like marbles rolling off a table. Little did I know, Judy had been just around the corner somehow. When I glanced up, Judy appeared right in front of me, having accidentally overheard everything. All the color faded from her face. Her eyes widening with shock, without a word, she rushed off. Alice and I were left standing there, exchanging a look of shame and discomfort. I knew I should run after Judy and apologize, but with my mind blank, I was frozen. Alice’s face turned red, too. We walked home in silence, each step heavier than the last. The following days were filled with awkwardness. I felt terrible for what I’d said and was dying to mend our friendship. An honest apology was desperately needed. But what should I say? Unintentional as I was, I indeed hurt Judy’s feelings. Every time I saw Judy in the halls or during classes, I’d quickly look away. Fate threw me a curve ball in our speech class. On Tuesday, Mr. Thomas announced that we would be giving improvised(即兴的) speeches. He had written our topics on slips of paper and put them into a secret jar. Each of us was asked to blindly choose one without knowing what it would be about. I couldn’t say I was not nervous. As I reached into the jar of topics, my fingers closed around the slip that read, “Share your most embarrassing moment.” My heart pounded like a drum roll in my chest. It was as if the universe had come my way to give me a chance. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Knowing what I had to say, I calmed myself down and walked to the platform. I took a deep breath and began. With my voice shaking, I spoke of my inconsiderate behaviour, deep regret and the upsetting result without exposing Judy’s name. After finishing my heartfelt speech, with sweat flowing down my face, I didn’t dare to expect my classmates’ response. To my surprise, they applauded for my sincerity. Even Mr. Thomas praised my courage to admit my fault and apologize publicly. Back to my seat, I stole a look at Judy and amazingly found she was also looking at me with tears. That day marked a turning point. Although Judy and I never directly talked about that unpleasant events, our interactions slowly returned to normal. We laughed and chatted again, as if a silent forgiveness had been granted. I was never proud of my bravery in that speech class. Instead, I knew for sure it was an experience to be modestly thankful for. Here are the lessons I have carried close to my heart ever since: Speaking ill of others plant seeds of regret and true friendships deserve the respect of honest words and open hearts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和爱丽丝闲谈时谈起不热衷和朱迪做朋友，恰好被朱迪听到，作者为自己的口不择言感到尴尬和后悔，在接下来的日子里想要修复和朱迪的关系。在托马斯先生的课堂上，作者抽到了一张纸条“分享你最尴尬的时刻”，作者认为这是一次机会，于是讲出了自己的这段经历，在演讲中勇于承认错误，从那之后，作者和朱迪的关系逐渐修复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“知道自己该说些什么后，我让自己冷静下来，向讲台走去。”可知，第一段可描写作者讲出了这段经历，同学们的反应，托马斯先生的赞扬及朱迪的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“那一天标志着一个转折点。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朱迪之间的关系逐渐恢复，作者也明白了什么是真诚的友谊。 2.续写线索：走向讲台——演讲自己的经历——同学的反应，托马斯先生赞扬——朱迪的反应——重归于好——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②期待，预期：expect/anticipate 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②感激的：thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1].
