Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who had Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队) , she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now winning hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87, 000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity. ”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to hug our uniqueness, go after our dreams and find joy in every moment.
4. How did Emmie Tallent react to the removal from the cheer squad?
A She practiced moving repeatedly. B. She insisted on performing alongside.
C. She felt down for the unfair treatment. D. She took firm determination to join it again.
5. Why did Sydnee post the video online?

C. Never complain to others. D. Accept the reality bravely.

For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be essential. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.
The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned.
To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped.
For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew.
However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.
Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies.
8. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of the findings. B. The plants grown in the lunar soil.
C. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement. D. The challenges about future space exploration.
9. What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soil?
A. They absorbed few nutrients. B. They didn’t grow well enough.
C. They grew slowly in the dark. D. They needed more water to grow bigger.
10. What will the follow-up studies be about?
A. What the researchers can do in the follow-up study.
B. Why the lunar soil is so dry and lacking in nutrients.
C. Whether plants have a potential impact on lunar soil.
D. How the plants react to the added water and nutrients.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil
C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon D. Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil
D
Imagine this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is 83. 50 and the large is $5. 50. It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $5. 50 for some sugary drink seems unreasonable. But there’s a third option, a medium soda for $5. 25. The medium might be just right for you, but the large only cost a quarter more. If you’re like the majority of people, you end up buying the large.
If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. Actually, there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy (诱饵), making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.
I have written about this unique human nature previously with my friend Dan Ariely, who, after noticing pricing for subscription (订阅) to The Economist, studied this phenomenon widely. The digital subscription was 859, the print subscription was $125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. However, the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.
Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance (非对称优势)” and it means that people are hooked to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior (较差的) option.
Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. It works because of the way our brain assigns value when making choices. Value is rarely absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation (方程) changes.
12. Why do the shops give the third option-the medium soda?
A. To earn more money. B. To offer people better choices.
C. To help people save money. D. To give people the right size of soda.
13. What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment?
A. Lower-priced goods attract more customers
B. The economist’s promotional strategy works.
C. The economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best.
D. More readers choose the digital over the print edition.
14 What does the underlined word “hooked” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Opposed. B. Employed. C. Devoted. D. Attracted.
15. From which website would you most probably find the text?
A. https: //www. lifestyle. com/health B. https: //www. education. com/science
C. https: //www. consumers. com/money D. https: /www. movie. com/entertainment

Last Sunday morning, I went to withdraw(取钱)3, 000 dollars at the bank to be used for home decorations. When I arrived there, I saw that it was crowded with people. I took a token(叫号牌) and joined the line.
As I was waiting, I noticed an old lady getting off a taxi. She entered the bank with a walking stick in hand. I could tell that she was having difficulty, for her hands were shaking violently. So I approached her, took a receipt, and filled it out for her. After that, I also helped her get a token, so she could deposit(存放)her money. She thanked me and stood not far from me.
I had waited for nearly half an hour before it was my turn. I withdrew my money and waited to see if the old lady needed any more help. During the time, we chatted for a while. She told me she had intended to deposit 3, 000 dollars, which was all her savings.
After 20 minutes, it was her turn. However, it was at that time that she realized that she had lost the money she had intended to deposit! She searched around but found nothing. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to control herself and call her son for help. She couldn’t find his number among her contacts because she was so discouraged. I helped her call her son but the problem at hand was still the lost money. She didn’t know what to do, and I could sense she was in desperate need of help.
At the same time, her name was repeated in the hall. If she missed the turn, it meant she would wait another long time. “What can I do to help her out?” I thought.

Being cut from a school team can be a difficult experience for a kid. But when 13-year-old Emmie Tallent who had Down syndrome (唐氏综合征) didn’t make her school’s cheer squad (啦啦队) , she responded in the most impressive way — she cheered anyway. Emmie Tallent, girl with firm determination, took to the sidelines while her school’s cheer squad performed. She matched the entire routine, moving for moving, in a black dress and tie-dyed shoes.
Her sister, Sydnee, recorded this moment on video, and it’s now winning hearts worldwide. The video, with over 3 million views and 87, 000 likes, shows Emmie facing the official squad and performing the routine alongside them. Her performance is nothing short of inspiring. “Girl didn’t make the cheer team, but she didn’t care,” Sydnee wrote, admiring Emmie’s confidence.
“Emmie may not be on the cheer team this time, but I’m sure her talent and spirit will shine through somewhere in the future,” Sydnee said with a smile. “Right now, she’s satisfied and happy doing what she loves. Thank you all for supporting her. I want to show the world Emmie’s joy from pursuing what she likes and the beauty of diversity. ”
The team did not have a lot of spots and even neurotypical (神经正常的) girls who were much better than Emmie didn’t make it to join it. Emmie’s school was giving Emmie help and kept encouraging her, but there are hard decisions that have to be made sometimes. Though Emmie didn’t make the squad, she wasn’t feeling upset at home, and continued to follow cheer squad’s routines and moves to please herself and spread joy to others, even if from the sidelines.
In the face of rejection, this tough 13-year-old chose to dance rather than sit by and let it define her, inspiring us all to hug our uniqueness, go after our dreams and find joy in every moment.

For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be essential. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.
The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” Until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned.
To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped.
For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew.
However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.
Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr. Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies.
8. What’s the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The significance of the findings. B. The plants grown in the lunar soil.
C. The hope for setting up a lunar settlement. D. The challenges about future space exploration.
9. What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soil?
A. They absorbed few nutrients. B. They didn’t grow well enough.
C. They grew slowly in the dark. D. They needed more water to grow bigger.
10. What will the follow-up studies be about?
A. What the researchers can do in the follow-up study.
B. Why the lunar soil is so dry and lacking in nutrients.
C. Whether plants have a potential impact on lunar soil.
D. How the plants react to the added water and nutrients.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil
C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon D. Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A

【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it’s possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.( 现在,科学家们向在月球表面种植植物迈出了“一小步”,他们证明了在月球土壤中种植小型开花植物芥蓝是可能的。)”以及通读全文,文章介绍的是一项研究——科学家在月球土壤中成功种植了植物,这一发现为未来在月球上种植作物提供了可能,并为人类在月球上建立居住地带来了希望。A选项“Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil(科学家在月球土壤中种植植物)”概括文章主要内容,符合标题。故选A。
D
Imagine this: You’re at a movie theater food stand loading up on snacks. You have a choice of a small, medium or large soda. The small is 83. 50 and the large is $5. 50. It’s a tough decision: The small size may not last you through the whole movie, but $5. 50 for some sugary drink seems unreasonable. But there’s a third option, a medium soda for $5. 25. The medium might be just right for you, but the large only cost a quarter more. If you’re like the majority of people, you end up buying the large.
If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda, the answer is almost no one. Actually, there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy (诱饵), making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.
I have written about this unique human nature previously with my friend Dan Ariely, who, after noticing pricing for subscription (订阅) to The Economist, studied this phenomenon widely. The digital subscription was 859, the print subscription was $125, and the print plus digital subscription was also $125. No one in their right mind would buy the print subscription when you could get digital as well for the same price, so why was it even an option? Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. However, the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.
Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance (非对称优势)” and it means that people are hooked to the option that is closest to an obviously inferior (较差的) option.
Marketing professors call it the decoy effect, which is certainly easier to remember. It works because of the way our brain assigns value when making choices. Value is rarely absolute; rather, we decide an object’s value relative to other choices. If more options are introduced, the value equation (方程) changes.
12. Why do the shops give the third option-the medium soda?
A. To earn more money. B. To offer people better choices.
C. To help people save money. D. To give people the right size of soda.
13. What do we learn from Dan Ariely’s experiment?
A. Lower-priced goods attract more customers
B. The economist’s promotional strategy works.
C. The economist’s print edition turns out to sell the best.
D. More readers choose the digital over the print edition.
14. What does the underlined word “hooked” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Opposed. B. Employed. C. Devoted. D. Attracted.
15. From which website would you most probably find the text?
A. https: //www. lifestyle. com/health B. https: //www. education. com/science
C. https: //www. consumers. com/money D. https: /www. movie. com/entertainment
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文讨论了商家在定价策略中利用“诱饵效应”来影响消费者决策的现象。文章强调,这种策略基于人类大脑在相对价值判断上的心理机制,通过调整选项来影响消费者对价值的认知,从而促使消费者做出更有利于商家的选择。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“If you’re wondering who would purchase the medium soda, the answer is almost no one Actually, there’s a good chance that the marketing department purposely priced the medium soda as a decoy (诱饵), making you more likely to buy the large soda rather than the small.(如果你想知道谁会买中杯苏打水,答案是几乎没有人。实际上,很有可能是营销部门故意给中杯苏打水定价作为诱饵,让你更有可能买大杯苏打水而不是小杯苏打水。)”可知,商店故意将中杯汽水作为诱饵定价,使人们更有可能购买大杯汽水而不是小杯。因此,他们提供中杯选项是为了赚更多的钱,因为大多数人会选择大杯汽水。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“Ariely ran an experiment and found that when only the two “real” choices were offered, more people chose the less-expensive digital subscription. However, the bad option increased people’s likelihood of selecting the expensive print plus digital option.( Ariely做了一个实验,发现当只提供两种“真实”的选择时,更多的人选择了更便宜的数字订阅。然而,糟糕的选择增加了人们选择昂贵的印刷加数字选择的可能性。)”,可知,Ariely的实验发现,当只提供两个“真实”选择时,更多人选择了价格较低的电子版订阅。但是,当引入一个较差的选项(即单独的印刷版订阅)时,人们更有可能选择昂贵的印刷加电子版订阅。这表明《经济学人》的促销策略(通过提供较差的选项来增加更昂贵选项的吸引力)是有效的。故选B。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Brain scientists call this effect “asymmetric dominance (非对称优势)” (大脑科学家称这种效应为“不对称优势”。)”以及划线词后文“… option that is closest to an obviously inferior (较差的) option(……最接近明显较差的选项)”可知,在“不对称优势”效应的影响下,相比于较好的选择,人们总是会选择明显交叉的选择即被较差的选择所吸引。故划线词与D选项“Attracted.(被吸引的)”为同义词。故选D。
15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,文章主要讨论了商家的定价策略和消费者决策的心理机制,这与消费者的金钱和购物行为密切相关,因此最有可能在关于消费者和金钱的网站上找到这篇文章。故选C。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last Sunday morning, I went to withdraw(取钱)3, 000 dollars at the bank to be used for home decorations. When I arrived there, I saw that it was crowded with people. I took a token(叫号牌) and joined the line.
As I was waiting, I noticed an old lady getting off a taxi. She entered the bank with a walking stick in hand. I could tell that she was having difficulty, for her hands were shaking violently. So I approached her, took a receipt, and filled it out for her. After that, I also helped her get a token, so she could deposit(存放)her money. She thanked me and stood not far from me.
I had waited for nearly half an hour before it was my turn. I withdrew my money and waited to see if the old lady needed any more help. During the time, we chatted for a while. She told me she had intended to deposit 3, 000 dollars, which was all her savings.
After 20 minutes, it was her turn. However, it was at that time that she realized that she had lost the money she had intended to deposit! She searched around but found nothing. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to control herself and call her son for help. She couldn’t find his number among her contacts because she was so discouraged. I helped her call her son but the problem at hand was still the lost money. She didn’t know what to do, and I could sense she was in desperate need of help.
At the same time, her name was repeated in the hall. If she missed the turn, it meant she would wait another long time. “What can I do to help her out?” I thought.

Ten minutes later, her son rushed into the bank with the taxi driver.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 After thinking for a while, I offered to lend her the money I had just withdrawn. I knew this was a lot of money for me, but seeing the old lady’s distress, I felt I couldn’t just sit by and do nothing. I told her it was okay, she could deposit the money now and repay me later. She looked at me with grateful eyes and accepted my offer. With my help, she successfully deposited the money. She hugged me tightly and thanked me repeatedly, saying that I was a kind-hearted person.
Ten minutes later, her son rushed into the bank with the taxi driver. He was breathless and looked worried. After hearing the whole story, he expressed his deep gratitude to me for lending the money to his mother and to the taxi driver for bringing him there in such a short time. It was a misunderstanding that led to the loss of money. The taxi driver had found the envelope containing the money on the back seat and immediately drove to the bank to return it. The old lady was overjoyed to see her savings again and expressed her appreciation to all those who helped her. This experience reminded me of the importance of kindness and compassion in our daily lives.
