I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade - sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart. Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I flatted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”. The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal. Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes. My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy. My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season. 4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Noticed. B. Disagreed. C. Worried. D. Expected. 5. How did the author’s classmates react to Mom's coming? A. They welcomed it warmly. B. They gave away her treats. C. They showed off themselves. D. They expressed sympathy for her. 6. Which of the following best states what Mom did at school? A. She protected her child from being hurt. B. She encouraged cross-cultural understanding. C. She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival. D. She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed. 【答案】4 C 5. A 6. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。叙述了作者在成长过程中作为班级或学校中唯一的犹太学生的经历，特别是与犹太节日Hanukkah相关的体验和感受。 4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.(每年九月，我都讨厌把父母熟练地给我刚认识的老师写的纸条交给老师们。这张便条解释说，我将在犹太新年和赎每年九月，我都讨厌把父母熟练地写的纸条交给我刚刚认识的老师罪日的犹太大节日期间缺席)”可知，作者讨厌向新老师展示父母精心准备的请假条，因为担心老师会给自己贴上“犹太孩子”的标签，所以flatted是“担心”之意，和C项意思相近。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes.(小学的时候，妈妈每年都会和老师一起到班上讲Hanukkah的故事。她会根据我的年龄准备点心和材料。每次我都会骄傲地站在她身边，听她讲Hanukkah的故事，解释象征。之前参加过演讲的孩子们竞相回答问题。我妈妈走后，我会无意中听到他们向其他班的孩子炫耀他们的油炸食品)”可知，作者的母亲去学校给同学们讲述哈努卡的故事，并且准备了一些小吃和材料，而以前参加过这个活动的孩子们则争先恐后地回答问题。作者离开后，听到他们向其他班级的孩子炫耀他们的小吃。因此，可以推断出作者的同学们对母亲的到来表示热烈欢迎。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season.(我的妈妈告诉我，我的同学和他们的家人，让我们与众不同的东西应该被庆祝和分享，这是我在度过另一个假期时继续为自己设定的目标)”可知，母亲向她、同学和他们的家人展示了与众不同的事物应该被庆祝和分享，这表明母亲鼓励跨文化理解。故选B项。 C Loss aversion, the idea that losses are more psychologically influential than gains, is widely considered the most important idea of behavioral decision-making and its sister field of behavioral economics. To illustrate the significance attached to loss aversion, Kahneman, winner of Nobel Prize in economics, wrote in his book, Thinking Fast and Slow, that “the concept of loss aversion is certainly the greatest contribution of psychology to behavioral economics. ” Why has such profound importance been attributed to loss aversion? Largely because it is thought to reflect a fundamental truth about human beings—that we are more motivated by our fears than by our aspirations. This conclusion has implications for almost every aspect of how we live our lives. However, as documented in a recent critical review of loss aversion by Rucker of Northwestern University, there is no general cognitive prejudice that leads people to avoid losses more strongly than to pursue gains. Contrary to claims based on loss aversion, price increases do not affect consumer behavior more than price decreases. If losing $10,000 means giving up the roof over your head whereas gaining $10,000 means going on an extra vacation, it is perfectly reasonable to be more concerned with the loss than the gain. Why has belief in loss aversion been held so strong for so long? An idealized view of science is that theories are accepted or rejected based solely on evidence from experiments. In fact, science is not simply an impersonal search for truth, but also a social process, in which supporters of a theory must convince other scientists, through logic and argumentation, of how evidence should be interpreted. In sum, our critical review of loss aversion highlights that, even in contemporary times, wrong ideas can continue to exist for a long time despite contrary evidence, and therefore, that there is a need to critically assess accepted beliefs. While loss aversion has frequently been used to explain why people are prejudiced toward the current situation, perhaps fittingly, the case of loss aversion illustrates the importance of challenging the present state of science. 7. Why did Daniel Kahneman write Thinking Fast and Slow? A. To record the process of our thinking. B. To test the contribution of loss aversion. C. To show loss aversion is viewed important. D. To figure out how loss aversion comes about. 8. Which situation worried people most according to Kahneman? A. Rising price. B. An extra holiday. C. Decreasing price. D. Pursuing gains. 9. What does the author think of science? A. It is solely based on experiments. B. It bears little relation to evidence. C. It interprets logic and argumentation. D. Its research process is objective and social. 10. What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Why Is An Important Idea False? B. How Can Loss Aversion Be Defined? C. Is An Accepted Idea Really Objective? D. Can We Take Loss Aversion for Granted? 【答案】7. C 8. A 9. D 10. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了由著名的诺贝尔经济学奖获得者美国普斯林敦大学的以色列教授卡尼曼所赞同的厌恶损失理论遭到了人们的质疑。 作者从科学的角度解释了著名理论也可能是错误的这一现象。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“To illustrate the significance attached to loss aversion, Kahneman, winner of Nobel Prize in economics, wrote in his book, Thinking Fast and Slow, that “the concept of loss aversion is certainly the greatest contribution of psychology to behavioral economics. ”(为了说明损失厌恶的重要性，诺贝尔经济学奖得主Kahneman在他的著作《快与慢的思考》中写道：“损失厌恶的概念无疑是心理学对行为经济学的最大贡献。” )”可知，Kahneman写Thinking Fast and Slow 这本书是为了解释厌恶损失的重要性。故选C。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Loss aversion, the idea that losses are more psychologically influential than gains, is widely considered the most important idea of behavioral decision-making and its sister field of behavioral economics. To illustrate the significance attached to loss aversion, Kahneman, winner of Nobel Prize in economics, wrote in his book, Thinking Fast and Slow, that “the concept of loss aversion is certainly the greatest contribution of psychology to behavioral economics. ”(损失厌恶，即损失比收益对心理的影响更大的观点，被广泛认为是行为决策及其姐妹领域行为经济学中最重要的观点。为了说明损失厌恶的重要性，诺贝尔经济学奖得主Kahneman在他的著作《快与慢的思考》中写道：“损失厌恶的概念无疑是心理学对行为经济学的最大贡献。”)”；第二段中“Largely because it is thought to reflect a fundamental truth about human beings—that we are more motivated by our fears than by our aspirations. This conclusion has implications for almost every aspect of how we live our lives. (很大程度上是因为它被认为反映了一个关于人类的基本真理——我们更多的是被我们的恐惧而不是我们的渴望所激励。这个结论对我们生活的方方面面都有影响)”以及第三段中“Contrary to claims based on loss aversion, price increases do not affect consumer behavior more than price decreases.(与基于损失厌恶的索赔相反，价格上涨并不比价格下跌更能影响消费者行为)”可推知，Kahneman赞同亏损厌恶理论，价格上涨意味着对消费者的亏损，所以他认为人们最担心的情况是价格上涨。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In fact, science is not simply an impersonal search for truth, but also a social process, in which supporters of a theory must convince other scientists, through logic and argumentation, of how evidence should be interpreted.( 事实上，科学不仅仅是一种对真理的客观探索，也是一个社交过程，在这个过程中，一个理论的支持者必须通过逻辑和论证来说服其他科学家如何解释证据)”可知，作者认为科学研究过程是客观的和社交性的。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In sum, our critical review of loss aversion highlights that, even in contemporary times, wrong ideas can continue to exist for a long time despite contrary evidence, and therefore, that there is a need to critically assess accepted beliefs. While loss aversion has frequently been used to explain why people are prejudiced toward the current situation, perhaps fittingly, the case of loss aversion illustrates the importance of challenging the present state of science.(总而言之，我们对损失厌恶的批判性回顾强调，即使在当代，尽管有相反的证据，错误的观点仍可能持续存在很长一段时间，因此，有必要批判性地评估公认的信念。虽然“损失厌恶”经常被用来解释人们为什么会对当前情况有偏见，但“损失厌恶”的案例或许恰如其分地说明了挑战当前科学状态的重要性)”结合文章首先介绍了著名的厌恶损失理论，随后通过举例说明厌恶损失理论并不能解释所有的行为。文章最后一段为文章的总结，结合最后一段的总结可知，我们需要辩证地评估被长久接受的观点，因为其有可能是错误的，A选项“为什么一个重要的想法是错误的？”最符合文章标题。故选A。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. ____11____ This lies at the heart of “experiential appreciation,” a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you.

Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. ____15____ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await.

(这是“体验式欣赏”的核心，这种哲学鼓励你直接与周围的世界接触。)推测，此处在谈论不止有通过阅读教科书来学习这一种方法，因此推断G项“现在考虑把你的学习从单纯的阅读扩展到积极参与。)”符合语境，故选G。 【12题详解】 根据上文“So, try joining a sports team, picking up a paintbrush, or taking part in a local charity event.

In order to figure out how to ②. there is nothing more effective than 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语，动词短语、there be句型以及形容词比较级。此句陈述目前事实，用一般现在时；中英文比较可知，第一空需翻译部分是“为了弄清楚如何”，“为了”用介词短语in order to，“弄清楚”用动词短语figure out，“如何”用特殊疑问词how，“如何解决这个难题”用“特殊疑问词+不定式”作“弄清楚”宾语，第一空填in order to figure out how to，句首单词首字母大写；第二空需翻译“没有什么比……更有效了”，“比……更有效”表达为形容词比较级more effective than，“没有什么”用there be句型表达为there is nothing，“没有什么比……更有效了”译为“there is nothing more effective than”。故填：①In order to figure out how to；②there is nothing more effective than。 67. 我们真正需要做的是全神贯注于学习中。（主语从句） ____________________ is to _______________. 【答案】 ①. What we really need to do ②. concentrate fully on our studies 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句和动词短语。根据所给中文提示词以及题干要求，需用主语从句，所以“我们真正需要做的”作主语，用主语从句，根据句意可知，从句中缺少宾语，指“……的事情”，用what引导，根据is可知，用一般现在时，译为“what we really need to do”，“全神贯注于学习中”用不定式作表语，空前已有to，所以空处应填动词原形，此处可用固定短语：concentrate on意为“专心于”，译为“concentrate fully on our studies”。故填：①What we really need to do，②concentrate fully on our studies。 68. 正是他们的充分准备才让这场表演大获成功，让观众们印象深刻。（强调句，非限制性定语从句） It ____________________ made the performance such a big success, _______________ all the audience. 【答案】 ①. was their thorough preparation that ②. which left a deep impression on the audience 【解析】 【详解】考查名词、动词、短语、强调句以及定语从句。表示“充分的准备”的英语是名词短语thorough preparation，用作句子的主语，根据句意以及题目要求“使用强调句”It + be +强调成分＋that/ who+其他成分，此处强调主语“他们的充分准备” their thorough preparation；本句陈述过去事实，应使用一般过去时，因此第一空格处缺少的是was their thorough preparation that；“让观众们印象深刻”使用非限制性定语从句来写，应使用关系代词which代指前面整件事，“给观众留下深刻印象”使用动词短语leave a deep impression on the audience。根据made可知，从句用一般过去时，因此，第二空格处可以写成which left a deep impression on the audience。故填was their thorough preparation that；which left a deep impression on the audience。 69. 只有通过坚持高标准的实验操作，我们才能得出科学的结论。（insist，倒装句） _______________ high standards of experimental operation, _______________ a scientific conclusion. 【答案】 ①.

I lived in Mississauga, Ontario, and was the only Jewish student in my grade - sometimes the only one in the whole school. This difference set me apart. Every September, I hated presenting the note my parents had expertly made to a teacher I was just getting to know. The note explained that I would be absent during the Jewish High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I flatted that my teachers would label me the “Jewish kid”. The real trouble always came as the local new year’s festival approached. I was Jewish and celebrated Hanukkah, not this festival. At school, on one day before the winter break, every class would sit in neat rows in the gym and sing songs from the festival. However, the music teacher sometimes played Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, a Jewish festival song, and I would feel hundreds of eyes staring at my red cheeks. As my friends counted down the days until the festival, I counted the days until it was over and I could go back to feeling normal. Each year during primary school, my mother would coordinate (协调) with my teacher to come to my class and tell the story of Hanukkah. She would prepare treats and materials depending on my age. Every time I would proudly stand beside her as she told the story of Hanukkah and explained the symbols. The children who had attended the presentation previously competed to answer questions. After my mom left, I would overhear them showing off their fried treats to kids in other classes. My mom’s annual visits to my school sparked interest from other parents as well. Over the years, we had visits from parents who shared how festivals were celebrated in Germany and Italy. My mom showed me, my classmates and their families that what sets us apart should be celebrated and shared, an intention which I continue to set for myself as I cycle through another holiday season. 4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Noticed. B. Disagreed. C. Worried. D. Expected. 5. How did the author’s classmates react to Mom's coming? A. They welcomed it warmly. B. They gave away her treats. C. They showed off themselves. D. They expressed sympathy for her. 6. Which of the following best states what Mom did at school? A. She protected her child from being hurt. B. She encouraged cross-cultural understanding. C. She made Hanukkah a school-celebrated festival. D. She saved the Jewish tradition from being changed. C Loss aversion, the idea that losses are more psychologically influential than gains, is widely considered the most important idea of behavioral decision-making and its sister field of behavioral economics. To illustrate the significance attached to loss aversion, Kahneman, winner of Nobel Prize in economics, wrote in his book, Thinking Fast and Slow, that “the concept of loss aversion is certainly the greatest contribution of psychology to behavioral economics. ” Why has such profound importance been attributed to loss aversion? Largely because it is thought to reflect a fundamental truth about human beings—that we are more motivated by our fears than by our aspirations. This conclusion has implications for almost every aspect of how we live our lives. However as documented in a recent critical review of loss aversion by Rucker of Northwestern University, there is no general cognitive prejudice that leads people to avoid losses more strongly than to pursue gains. Contrary to claims based on loss aversion, price increases do not affect consumer behavior more than price decreases. If losing $10,000 means giving up the roof over your head whereas gaining $10,000 means going on an extra vacation, it is perfectly reasonable to be more concerned with the loss than the gain. Why has belief in loss aversion been held so strong for so long? An idealized view of science is that theories are accepted or rejected based solely on evidence from experiments. In fact, science is not simply an impersonal search for truth, but also a social process, in which supporters of a theory must convince other scientists, through logic and argumentation, of how evidence should be interpreted. In sum, our critical review of loss aversion highlights that, even in contemporary times, wrong ideas can continue to exist for a long time despite contrary evidence, and therefore, that there is a need to critically assess accepted beliefs. While loss aversion has frequently been used to explain why people are prejudiced toward the current situation, perhaps fittingly, the case of loss aversion illustrates the importance of challenging the present state of science. 7. Why did Daniel Kahneman write Thinking Fast and Slow? A. To record the process of our thinking. B. To test the contribution of loss aversion. C. To show loss aversion is viewed important. D. To figure out how loss aversion comes about. 8. Which situation worried people most according to Kahneman? A. Rising price. B. An extra holiday. C. Decreasing price. D. Pursuing gains. 9. What does the author think of science? A. It is solely based on experiments. B. It bears little relation to evidence. C. It interprets logic and argumentation. D. Its research process is objective and social. 10 What can be a suitable title for this passage? A. Why Is An Important Idea False? B. How Can Loss Aversion Be Defined? C. Is An Accepted Idea Really Objective? D. Can We Take Loss Aversion for Granted? 第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 As a high school student, you’re likely used to learning through reading textbooks. ____11____ This lies at the heart of “experiential appreciation,” a philosophy that encourages you to engage directly with the world around you. It’s about learning from real-life experiences, and discovering a more profound and engaging way to learn.

Write in a journal or discuss it with friends. This self-discovery turns experiences into life lessons and offers a deeper understanding of the world. Experiential appreciation transforms learning from a task to be completed into a journey to be treasured. ____15____ So, explore the world around you, let every experience shape you, and discover the endless possibilities that await.
