B （2023·河北沧州·沧州市第二中学校联考三模）From ordering food to buying a new book to making a charitable donation, more and more decisions that used to be made on paper are now being made on digital devices like tablets, phones, and computers. And this trend towards digitalization has many advantages, in particular when it comes to efficiency and sustainability — but could it also be negatively influencing how we make decisions? We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant. We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device: For example, participants who read their choices and made a selection on paper were significantly more likely to give money to charity, choose a healthy entree, and opt for an educational book rather than something more entertaining. Why might this be? Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels. We asked participants in two of our studies to describe how real a decision felt, as well as the extent to which they believed the decision as representing who they were as people, and they consistently indicated that making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device. It may seem like a minor detail, but our research shows that the medium with which your customers, employees, or community members make a decision can have a major impact on the choices they make. This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials. 4．What do we know about the studies? A．The participants are all from America. B．The participants are divided into three groups. C．The studies pay special attention to decisions with moral component. D．The studies prove the efficiency and availability of the digital device. 5．What main mechanism is responsible for this effect mentioned in the text? A．The awareness of environmental protection. B．People’s objection to trend towards digitalization. C．The real feeling caused by making decisions on paper. D．People’s care about their identity when making decisions on paper. 6．What can we infer about the research finding from the last paragraph? A．It has practical value. B．It needs improvement. C．It can stand the test of time. D．It makes sense in every situation. 7．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Pen and paper will never be replaced. B．We encourage everyone to make a responsible choice. C．We make more moral choices when using pen and paper. D．Educational reading materials should be provided in the form of paper. Ⅴ七选五： 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。 How long does a year last? 1 But your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older? 2. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and process new information to decline. Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. 3 . However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they’re happening more quickly. 4 People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period. Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts (first day of school, first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.), they seem to be in slow motion? That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever. For many adults, life is routine. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many novel (新奇的) things to remember. 5 A. Children might say that a year lasts forever. B. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them. C. Different people have different feelings toward time. D. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. E.As we grow older, we become less interested in new things. F.According to scientists, our brains degrade and change over time. G.In addition, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological reasons. Ⅵ 读后续写 （2023上·江苏连云港·高三连云港高中校考阶段练习）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。 It was a chilly Friday night, and I had just returned from climbing one of the red rocks of Sedona. My father telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital. When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of medicine brought a sick feeling to my already tuning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous (形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice, controlling my urge to cry out. She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother. From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury of just being a kid, having to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily life at school, which had seemed so important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us. After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she would be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home. 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。 My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit4Breaking Boundaries Using Language分层作业练习 I 单词拼写 1.

And this trend towards digitalization has many advantages, in particular when it comes to efficiency and sustainability — but could it also be negatively influencing how we make decisions? We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant. We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device: For example, participants who read their choices and made a selection on paper were significantly more likely to give money to charity, choose a healthy entree, and opt for an educational book rather than something more entertaining. Why might this be? Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels. We asked participants in two of our studies to describe how real a decision felt, as well as the extent to which they believed the decision as representing who they were as people, and they consistently indicated that making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device. It may seem like a minor detail, but our research shows that the medium with which your customers, employees, or community members make a decision can have a major impact on the choices they make. This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials. 4．What do we know about the studies? A．The participants are all from America. B．The participants are divided into three groups. C．The studies pay special attention to decisions with moral component. D．The studies prove the efficiency and availability of the digital device. 5．What main mechanism is responsible for this effect mentioned in the text? A．The awareness of environmental protection. B．People’s objection to trend towards digitalization. C．The real feeling caused by making decisions on paper. D．People’s care about their identity when making decisions on paper. 6．What can we infer about the research finding from the last paragraph? A．It has practical value. B．It needs improvement. C．It can stand the test of time. D．It makes sense in every situation. 7．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Pen and paper will never be replaced. B．We encourage everyone to make a responsible choice. C．We make more moral choices when using pen and paper. D．Educational reading materials should be provided in the form of paper. 【答案】4．C 5．C 6．A 7．C 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了数字化趋势对人们决策的影响。作者进行了一系列研究，发现使用纸质表格做出的决策比使用数字设备做出的决策更具有道德性。 4．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We conducted a series of studies with more than 2, 500 participants across the U. S. and China to explore the impact of the medium you use to make a decision, with a particular focus on decisions with some sort of moral component, such as whether or not to make a donation to a charity, or whether to choose a healthy or unhealthy entrée (主菜) at a restaurant.(我们对美国和中国的2500多名参与者进行了一系列研究，以探索你用来做决定的媒介的影响，特别关注带有某种道德成分的决定，比如是否向慈善机构捐款，或者在餐馆里选择健康或不健康的主菜。)”可知，这些研究特别关注带有道德成分的决定。故选C。 5．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Our research suggests that the key mechanism driving this effect is how “real” the decision feels.(我们的研究表明，驱动这种效应的关键机制是决定给人的“真实”感觉。)”和“…making a choice on paper felt more real and representative than making the same decision on a digital device.(……在纸上做出选择比在数字设备上做出同样的决定更真实、更有代表性。)”可知，纸上决策带来的真实感受是造成这种效果的原因。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“This has implications (暗示) for marketers, policymakers, and anyone seeking to encourage any sort of virtuous behaviour. For example, to encourage customers to choose healthier options, restaurants might consider opting for paper rather than digital menus. Similarly, parents and educators might opt to provide students with paper rather than online book order forms, to increase the chances that they’ll choose educational reading materials.(这对市场营销人员、政策制定者和任何试图鼓励任何良性行为的人都有启示。例如，为了鼓励顾客选择更健康的食物，餐馆可能会考虑选择纸质菜单而不是电子菜单。同样，家长和教育工作者可能会选择向学生提供纸质而非在线图书订购表，以增加他们选择教育读物的机会。)”可知，研究结果具有实用价值。故选A。 7．主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“We asked the participants to make a variety of these sorts of choices using either a paper form or a digital tablet, and despite controlling for all other variables (变量) , we consistently found that people who used paper made more moral decisions than those who used a digital device(我们要求参与者使用纸质表格或数字平板电脑做出各种各样的选择，尽管控制了所有其他变量，但我们一致发现，使用纸质表格的人比使用数字设备的人做出更多的道德决定)”和全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了数字化趋势对人们决策的影响。作者进行了一系列研究，发现使用纸质表格做出的决策比使用数字设备做出的决策更具有道德性。由此可知，C项：We make more moral choices when using pen and paper.(当我们用笔和纸时，我们会做出更多的道德选择。)是文章的主旨大意。故选C。 Ⅴ七选五： 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。 How long does a year last? 1 But your parents might say that a whole year can pass “in the blink of an eye”. Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older? 2. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and process new information to decline. Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than adults because they’re processing images at a faster rate. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. 3 . However, as people’s brains degrade over time, fewer images are processed in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as though they’re happening more quickly. 4 People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled within a certain period. Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts (first day of school, first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.), they seem to be in slow motion? That’s because when something is a “first”, there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever. For many adults, life is routine. When they look back, they might feel like there are not many novel (新奇的) things to remember. 5 A. Children might say that a year lasts forever. B. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them. C. Different people have different feelings toward time. D. This makes them feel like a single day lasts for a long time. E.As we grow older, we become less interested in new things. F.According to scientists, our brains degrade and change over time. G.In addition, people may also “feel” time differently due to psychological reasons. 【答案】1--5 AFDGB 【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍人们对时间的理解。随着时间的推移，我们的大脑会退化和变化，在相同的时间内处理的图像会减少。 1.

My father telephoned me as I walked through the arches to my dorm room and told me that my mother had been in a terrible car crash and had been taken to the intensive care unit (重症监护病房) of a nearby hospital. When I got to the hospital, my father led me down a wide hallway with machines all around. A strong smell of medicine brought a sick feeling to my already tuning stomach. As I turned into my mother’s ward, the cadaverous (形容枯槁的) condition of her body shocked me. Her face had swollen, her eyes had huge dark bruise, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms. Gently holding her cold swollen hands, I said “hi” in a calm voice, controlling my urge to cry out. She kept looking at me as she pounded her hand against the bed, looking painful. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother. From that night on, my life completely changed. Up to that point, I’d had the luxury of just being a kid, having to deal with only the exaggerated melodramas of teenage life. As my mother struggled first to stay alive and then to relearn to walk, my sense of priorities changed sharply. My mother needed me. The trials and trouble of my daily life at school, which had seemed so important before, now appeared insignificant. My mother and I had faced death together, and life took on a new meaning for both of us. After a week of treatment in intensive care, my mother’s condition improved enough to be moved to a regular hospital ward. She was finally out of danger but, because her legs had been crushed, there was doubt whether she would be able to walk again. I was just grateful that she was alive. Two months later, a sort of hospital suite was set up in our family room, and she was allowed to come home. 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。 My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My mother’s return home was a blessing for us all, but it meant some unaccustomed responsibilities for me. As she was unable to walk, we had to transport her around in a wheel chair. I started helping my mother with her daily activities. Everyday I was there with her, helping her practice walking, smiling and encouraging her to move on. I even enrolled her in a special online diary program, recording her recovery progress, and this made her happy. For months her recovery was seen slow but sure, and eventually she was able to give up wheel chair and walk fully again. My mother’s reliance on me changed our relationship. She had gone from the brink of death, with the damage to her legs so severe, to a full recovery. This difficult period taught me about courage, determination and the strength of the human spirit. My mother may be more fragile and weaker than before, but she refused to be frustrated and keep on being a determined mother model that she always presented whenever I was at home. To me, my mother will always be my source of love and faith in the future. 【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开，讲述了作者因母亲出车祸赶到医院看望。看到妈妈伤情严重，决定陪着母亲慢慢恢复。一段时间的住院治疗以后，母亲的伤情好转，作者决定接母亲回家继续疗养。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“母亲的回家对我们所有人来说都是一件幸事，但对我来说意味着一些不习惯的责任。”可知，第一段可描写作者一直在母亲身边料理母亲的饮食起居，帮助母亲做康复训练，甚至做了一个康复日记，帮助母亲逐渐恢复。 ②由第二段首句内容“我母亲对我的依赖改变了我们的关系。”可知，第二段可描写作者从母亲的逐渐康复中体会到了勇气和意志的力量。母亲可能比以前虚弱，但是对作者来说，他的爱以及对未来的信心来自于母亲。 2.续写线索：幸事——不习惯的责任——轮椅——帮母亲康复——写网上康复日记——母亲完全康复，能继续走路——作者体会到了勇气和意志的力量——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①报名参加：enroll in/apply for/sign up for ②放弃：give up /abandon ③看见：spot/catch sight of 情绪类 ①使某人高兴：make sb happy/kept sb motivated ②垂头丧气的：be frustrated /be disappointed 【点睛】[高分句型1].
