Here’s how to make a few savings at the cinema. Get two tickets for the price of one Buy an insurance (保险) policy from Compare the Market and you’ll get free access to Meerkat Movies, which offers two for the price of one on tickets every Tuesday or Wednesday. Fortunately, there’s a chance to get this for around £1. All you need to do is buy a single day UK travel insurance! Get some free tickets The Club Lloyds current account offers six free tickets to use at Odeon or Vue and you’ll get these within a month of opening the account. You’ll need to add £2,000 to the account to cancel out a £3 monthly charge, but that money doesn’t need to be in one go or stay there — you can draw it straight back out. Buy special offer tickets From time to time there are deals running that offer cut price tickets. Sites like Groupon often sell bundles (套票) for the likes of Odeon and Vue that work out around £4 or £5 each. Other deals include National Cinema Day (usually in September) when all tickets are £3. 1. Why are you advised to buy an insurance policy from Compare the Market? A. To see new films for free. B. To travel UK for a single day. C. To access Meerkat Movies regularly. D. To make a few savings at the cinema. 2. What is the advantage of adding £2,000 to the Club Lloyds account? A. You can avoid a £3 monthly charge. B. You can get free tickets every month. C. You can have more free cinema tickets. D. You can get tickets in a convenient way. 3. How much do you pay for buying 3 cut price tickets on National Cinema Day? A. £3. B. £9. C. £12. D. £15. B A few years ago I took my sons for ice cream, and while my older son went inside to buy us our milk shakes, my younger son and I waited on the bench (长椅) outside. At a certain point I realized that sitting right next to me were a little girl with a facial deformity (畸形), her friend (or sister), and her mother. When my younger son looked up and saw her, he reacted exactly the way you might think a three-year old would react when seeing something that scared him: he started to cry—pretty loudly, too. I hurriedly tried to push him away in the stroller (婴儿推车), not for the benefit of him but to avoid hurting the girl’s feelings, and in my haste I caused my older son to knock over the shakes, and, well, it was a scene quite different from what I had hoped for. But as I pushed my younger son’s stroller away I heard the little girl’s mom say, in as sweet and calm a voice as you can imagine, “Okay, guys, I think it’s time to go.” And that just set me thinking. For the rest of the day I couldn’t stop thinking about how that scene had played out. It occurred to me that they probably went through something like that hundreds of times a day. What would that be like? What could I be teaching my children so they could understand how to respond better next time? What I should have done, instead of trying to avoid the situation, was involve the girl and her mother in conversation. If my son cried, so be it: kids cry. I should have set a better example for him, and shown him there was nothing to fear. As I was thinking about the scene, the song Wonder by Natalie Merchant came on the radio that night, and something about the words to the song just got to me. That very night, I started writing Wonder, a story about a boy with a facial difference. 4. What made the younger son cry? A. That his mother pushed him away. B. That his brother upset the milk shakes. C. That he was unwilling to react to the girl. D. That he was scared by the girl’s appearance. 5. The underlined word “haste” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A hurry B. doubt C. sorrow D. turn 6. Why did the author keep thinking about the scene? A. She regretted not behaving properly. B. She regretted not comforting her son. C. She wanted to write a novel based on it. D. She wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. 7. What does the author want to express through the story? A. Don’t judge a book by its cover. B. One good turn deserves another. C. A kind gesture can reach a wound. D. Think twice before making a final decision. C Every day, we face a range of decisions, from picking a shirt for work to choosing a job. Some of these decisions have far-reaching consequences that may impact the rest of our lives. These choices can be difficult, and we aren’t often aware of the reasons behind why we make certain choices. A new study explores how we make decisions when it comes to short and long-term rewards (回报). It found that we were more impulsive (冲动) with decisions that may bring about an immediate reward than those that have longer-term consequences. The study was conducted by Professor Pleger from Ruhr University Bochm. The team wanted to know how we make decisions about what to eat and how to make a profit. They asked subjects to choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger rewards that they had to wait for. The longer they waited, the bigger the reward. Brain activity was observed using functional MRI, which shows which parts of the brain are active during decision-making. The brain observation revealed interesting differences when it came to each type of reward. When people made decisions about money, brain areas responsible for thinking about the future and self-control were more active. When deciding about food, the areas that are linked to immediate satisfaction were more involved. This means that our decision-making pattern depends on the type of reward that we are presented with. By understanding how our brains respond to different types of rewards, we may develop better tools that control how we make those decisions that may have serious consequences in our lives. Professor Pleger believes that understanding these differences can lead to new treatments for impulsive behaviors and addictions. For example, Neurofeedback (神经反馈) can observe real-time brain activity to help individuals manage their brain functions, which can help them make particularly difficult decisions, specifically surrounding unhealthy or addictive choices. 8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The process of Pleger’s study. B. The causes of brain activity. C. The theory of people’s choices. D. The methods of decision-making. 9. What do we know about the decision-making pattern according to the passage? A. It is responsible for better self-control. B. It is associated with different brain areas. C. It has nothing to do with the type of reward. D. It brings people more immediate satisfaction. 10. Why does the author mention the example in the last paragraph? A. To confirm the assumption. B. To show the application of the study. C. To compare the differences. D. To praise the effectiveness of the tools. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How can we make reasonable decisions? B. Are your decisions linked to self-control? C. Are your decisions based on impulse or reason? D. How can we apply our decision-making pattern? D A heated theme around AI in education is that students could use these generative tools to complete their homework. Educators are worried that students may not build essential skills if it becomes too easy to misrepresent machine-generated work as their own. In addition to concerns that such use may contribute to cheating, it’s also known that AI can provide misinformation that may mislead students. As a result, many schools have banned (禁止) generative AI completely. But is that reasonable? The answer is no, says Sebastian Rao, a Virginia STEM school senior. Instead, he supports AI policies that make the technology accessible to students and educators but provide appropriate edges. “How do we structure a classroom that uses AI?” asks Rao. He says the focus should be to thoughtfully integrate (合并) AI technology in classrooms so that students can use it to enhance their education and build new skills. When schools place strict bans on AI, students may be confused and unsure about what they can and can’t use. Many students use AI in ways educators didn’t consider, worsening the problem of managing their use in the classroom. Meanwhile, the technology is evolving quickly and becoming integrated into an ever-growing range of tools. Academic tools like Grammarly now use AI, as do search engines like Google and Bing. Khan Academy recently built a free AI-powered app, Khanmigo, to provide one-on-one homework help to students who may not otherwise have access to a live tutor (家庭教师). “A lot of students don’t really know what to think about a lot of these technologies. Some are confused about ‘What does AI mean? Is it cheating in certain cases?’” explains Rao. Rather than viewing the use of AI as cheating, the U. S. Department of Education is integrating AI into policy because the technology allows educators to support students with a valuable, personalized approach to learning. Knowing how to use AI effectively and properly will be necessary for students’ future development. 12. Why do many schools ban AI completely? A. AI may offer much information. B. AI may cause students a lot of worry. C. AI may destroy students’ essential skills. D. AI may weaken students’ study performance. 13. What is Sebastian Rao’s opinion on AI in education? A. Schools should refuse AI technology. B. Educators should build their AI skills. C. Schools should establish clear guidelines. D. Educators should enhance their education. 14. What may the ban on AI at school result in? A. Rapid evolution of AI. B. Students’ confusion about AI. C. Popularity of a live tutor. D. Educators’ interest in technology. 15. What is the U.S. Department of Education’s attitude towards AI? A Unclear. B. Worried. C. Favorable. D. Negative. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Today, the electric light is considered one of the greatest human inventions and helps us in many ways.

Every day, we face a range of decisions, from picking a shirt for work to choosing a job. Some of these decisions have far-reaching consequences that may impact the rest of our lives. These choices can be difficult, and we aren't often aware of the reasons behind why we make certain choices. A new study explores how we make decisions when it comes to short and long-term rewards (回报). It found that we were more impulsive (冲动) with decisions that may bring about an immediate reward than those that have longer-term consequences The study was conducted by Professor Pleger from Ruhr University Bochm. The team wanted to know how we make decisions about what to eat and how to make a profit. They asked subjects to choose between smaller immediate rewards and larger rewards that they had to wait for. The longer they waited, the bigger the reward Brain activity was observed using functional MRI. which shows which parts of the brain are active during decision-making The brain observation revealed interesting differences when it came to each type of reward. When people made decisions about money, brain areas responsible for thinking about the future and self-control were more active. When deciding about food. the areas that are linked to immediate satisfaction were more involved. This means that our decision-making pattern depends on the tvpe of reward that we are presented wit By understanding how our brains respond to different types of rewards, we may develop better tools that control how we make those decisions that may have serious consequences in our lives. Professor Pleger believes that understanding these differences can lead to new treatments for impulsive behaviors and addictions. For example. Neurofeedback(神经反 馈) can observe real-time brain activity to help individuals manage their brain functions, which can help them make particularly difficult decisions, specifically surrounding unhealthy or addictive choices 8. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about? A. The process of Pleger's study B. The causes of brain activity C. The theory of people's choices D. The methods of decision-making 9. What do we know about the decision-making pattern according to the passage? A. It is responsible for better self-control B. It is associated with different brain areas 第7页/共26页 学科网 组卷网 C. It has nothing to do with the type of reward D. It brings people more immediate satisfaction 10. Why does the author mention the example in the last paragraph? A. To confirm the assumption B. To show the application of the study C. To compare the differences D. To praise the effectiveness of the tools 11. What is the best title for the text? A. How can we make reasonable decisions B. Are your decisions linked to self-control? C. Are your decisions based on impulse or reason? D. How can we apply our decision-making pattern? 9.B 10.B 【答案】8.A 11.C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇科普说明文,文章主要讨论了我们的决策是基于冲动还是理性,以及这种决策模式如何 影响我们的生活。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The team wanted to knowhowwe make decisions about what to eat and how to make a profit.

Educators are worried that students may not build essential skills if it becomes too easy to misrepresent machine-generated work as their own. In addition to concerns that such use may contribute to cheating, it's also known that AI can provide misinformation that may mislead students. As a result, many schools have banned (禁上) generative AI completely. But is that reasonable? The answer is no, says Sebastian Rao, a Virginia STEM school senior. Instead, he supports AI policies that make the technology accessible to students and educators but provide appropriate edges. "How do we structure a classroom that uses AI?" asks Rao. He says the focus should be to thoughtfully integrate (合并) AI technology in classrooms so that students can use it to enhance their education and build new skills When schools place strict bans on AI. students may be confused and unsure about what they can and can't use Many students use AI in wavs educators didn't consider, worsening the problem of managing their use in the classroom. Meanwhile. the technology is evolving quickly and becoming integrated into an ever-growing range of 第9页/共26页 学科网 组卷网 tools. Academic tools like Grammarly now use AI. as do search engines like Google and Bing. Khan Academy recently built a free AI-powered app. Khanmigo. to provide one-on-one homework help to students who may not otherwise have access to a live tutor (家庭教师). "A lot of students don't really know what to think about a lot of these technologies. Some are confused about 'What does AI mean? Is it cheating in certain cases?'" explains Rao Rather than viewing the use of AI as cheating, the U. S. Department of Education is integrating AI into policy because the technology allows educators to support students with a valuable, personalized approach to learning Knowing how to use AI effectively and properly will be necessary for students' future development 12. Why do many schools ban AI completely? A. AI may offer much information B. AI may cause students a lot of worry C. AI may destroy students' essential skills D. AI may weaken students' study performance 13. What is Sebastian Rao's opinion on AI in education? A. Schools should refuse AI technology B. Educators should build their AI skills C. Schools should establish clear guidelines D. Educators should enhance their education 14. What may the ban on AI at school result in? A. Rapid evolution of AI B. Students' confusion about AI C. Popularity of a live tutor D. Educators' interest in technology 15. What is the U.S. Department of Education's attitude towards AI? A.Unclear B. Worried C. Favorable D.
