But she realized that in a way, she was luckier than some other people. She had insurance to help pay for her medical care. But Ms. McIntyre and her husband, Mr. Gregory, knew that many people with cancer face tough decisions because of the costs of medical care and wind up owing far more than they can pay. Though her health was failing, Ms. McIntyre decided to help pay off the medical debts of as many people as she possibly could. The couple began donating money to a group called RIP Medical Debt, which is committed to working to pay off the unpaid medical debts of others. The group can pay off medical bills for about 100 times less money than they cost. In other words, for every 100 donated, the group can pay off 10,000 in unpaid medical bills. Unfortunately, Ms. McIntyre passed away before long. Mr. Gregory posted a message for Ms. McIntyre on her social media accounts. “If you’re reading this, I have passed away,” the post began. Then the post explained, “To celebrate my life, I’ve arranged to buy up others’ medical debts and then destroy the debts.” The couple had set up a page on a website to raise money for this purpose. They had hoped to raise about $20,000. Nevertheless, Ms. McIntyre’s last post attracted a lot of attention. The donations on her web page quickly passed the total goal. In less than a week, the site had raised 10 times more than expected and the donations are still coming in. By November 22, 2023, Ms. McIntyre’s web page had raised over $627,000, or enough money to pay off about $60 million in medical debts. Mr. Gregory planned a special event in December to celebrate Ms. McIntyre’s life and to announce how many millions of dollars of medical debts her efforts had paid for. 4. Why did Ms. McIntyre feel luckier than some other people? A. The doctors eventually cured her. B. Her disease didn’t become worse. C. She had a decent job before being ill. D. She had security about medical care. 5. How did Ms. McIntyre and her husband help others? A. By paying for their daily debts. B. By giving away money to them. C. By ridding them of debts from treatments. D. By purchasing medical insurance for them. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The public involvement. B. The couple’s commitment. C. The operation of a website. D. The increase of medical debts. 7. Which of the following words can best describe Ms. McIntyre? A. Humorous and elegant. B. Influential and understanding. C Cautious and promising. D. Enthusiastic and adaptable. C If your partner gets down on one knee to propose, or you get a call with the job offer, your reaction might be to shout it from the rooftops. But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized. “Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well- being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well- being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets?” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University. In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret. “The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures. “People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting (短暂的) of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.” 8. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy? A. It’s one- sided. B. It’s pointless. C. It’s convincing. D. It’s pioneering. 9. Why were some participants more energized in the experiment? A. They were free from secrets. B. They were optimistic and cheerful. C. They had shared good news with others. D. They had unrevealed positive secrets 10 What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4mean? A. Panic. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Encourage. 11. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do? A. Never reveal a secret casually. B. Let your imagination run wild. C. Be creative when surprising others. D. Delay sharing a positive secret. D They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.” 12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 13. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination 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。 Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___ ___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature. It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus. It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___ Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength. A. The only time you can make changes is right now. B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength. C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training. D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength. E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit. F Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength. G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere. 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) When I was 24 I moved to America, 11,000 kilometers away from my homeland.

But new research suggests that keeping good news a secret before telling someone else could make people feel more energized. “Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well- being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well- being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets?” asked lead researcher of the latest research Michael Slepian, PhD, a professor of business at Columbia University. In the experiment, some participants were asked to reflect on the good news they kept secret, while others reflected on good news that was not secret, and then rated how energized the news made them feel and whether they intended to share the news with someone else. The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret. “The research gives subtle differences to our understanding of the science of secrets. Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression. Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive. One factor could be that people often have different motivations for keeping good news to themselves. Those with positive secrets were much more likely to keep quiet for internal reasons, not because they felt any outside pressures. “People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be extremely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting (短暂的) of our emotions,” Slepian said. “Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.” 8. What did Michael Slepian think of the previous research on secrecy? A. It’s one- sided. B. It’s pointless. C. It’s convincing. D. It’s pioneering. 9. Why were some participants more energized in the experiment? A. They were free from secrets. B. They were optimistic and cheerful. C. They had shared good news with others. D. They had unrevealed positive secrets 10. What does the underlined word “deplete” in paragraph 4mean? A. Panic. B. Exhaust. C. Confuse. D. Encourage. 11. According to the last paragraph, what did Slepian suggest readers do? A. Never reveal a secret casually. B. Let your imagination run wild. C. Be creative when surprising others. D. Delay sharing a positive secret. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哥伦比亚大学的教授Michael Slepian关于保密的研究，他发现在告诉别人之前把好消息保密可以使人们感到更有活力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Decades of research on keeping secrets suggest it is bad for our well- being. However, this work has only examined keeping secrets that have negative effects for our lives. Is secrecy bad for our well- being or do the negative effects of keeping secrets tend to originate from keeping negative secrets?(几十年来关于保守秘密的研究表明，这对我们的健康有害。然而，这项工作只研究了对我们的生活有负面影响的保守秘密。保守秘密对我们的幸福有害吗？还是保守秘密的负面影响往往源于保守消极的秘密？)”可知，Michael Slepian认为以前的研究只关注了保守负面秘密的影响，很片面，忽视了保守积极秘密的影响，故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers found that the participants who reflected on their positive secrets reported feeling more energized than the participants who thought about their good news that was not secret.(研究人员发现，回想自己的积极秘密的参与者比回想那些没有秘密的好消息的参与者感觉更有活力)”可知，一些参与者因为他们有未公开的积极秘密而感到更有活力，故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Positive secrets, however, seem to have an energizing effect and make people alive.(然而，积极的秘密似乎有一种充满活力的效果，让人充满活力)”以及划线词所在句“Negative secrets tend to deplete us and have also been linked to anxiety and depression.(消极的秘密往往会deplete，也与焦虑和抑郁症有关)”可推知，however表示转折，指出积极的秘密似乎有一种充满活力的效果，让人充满活力，说明负面的秘密有不利影响，往往会耗尽我们。故deplete在此处意为“耗尽”，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“People sometimes go to great lengths to plan revealing a positive secret to make it all the more exciting. This kind of surprise can be intensely enjoyable, but surprise is the most fleeting of our emotions(人们有时会不遗余力地计划透露一个积极的秘密，让它变得更加令人兴奋。这种惊喜可能非常令人愉快，但惊喜是我们情绪中最短暂的)”和“Having extra time — days, weeks or even longer — to imagine the joyful surprise on another person’s face allows us more time with this exciting moment, even if only in our own minds.(如果有额外的时间——几天、几周甚至更长时间——去想象别人脸上的惊喜，我们就有更多的时间来享受这个激动人心的时刻，即使只是在我们自己的脑海里)”可推知，告诉别人之前把好消息保密可以使人们感到更兴奋，Slepian建议读者延迟分享积极的秘密，故选D。 D They say procrastination (拖延) is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. New research has found that if you want someone to help you out with something, it is best not to set a deadline at all. But if you do set a deadline, make it short. Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research.Participants were invited to complete an online survey concerning a charity donation. They were given either one week, one month, or no deadline to respond. Professor Knowles says although the topic of the survey is about charity, the results are true of any situation where someone asks another person for help. The study found responses to the survey were lowest for the one-month deadline and highest when no deadline was specified. No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. However, he did find it interesting that they received the most responses when no deadline was specified. “We interpret this as evidence that specifying a longer deadline, as opposed to a short deadline or no deadline at all, removes the urgency to act,” he says. “People therefore put off undertaking the task, and since they are inattentive or forget, postponing it results in lower response rates.” He says of the research that it is possible that not specifying a deadline might still have led participants to assume that there is an unspoken deadline. Professor Knowles hopes his research can help reduce the amount of procrastinating people do. “Many people procrastinate. They have the best intentions of helping someone out, but just do not get around to doing it.” 12. Why did Professor Knowles do the research? A. To study the role a deadline plays in procrastination. B. To find out whether people are interested in charity. C. To attract public attention to the effects of procrastination. D. To test the effect of procrastination on task completion. 13. What most likely leads to procrastination? A. No deadlines. B. Short deadlines. C. Specific deadlines. D. Long deadlines. 14. What’ s the attitude of Professor Knowles to the findings of the study? A. Interested. B. Conservative. C. Confused. D. Unsurprised. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Procrastination — the Thief of Time B. Procrastination — the Urgent Problem to Solve C. Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination D. Deadline — a Result of Procrastination 【答案】12 A 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们拖延与设定截止日期的时间长短有关。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Professor Stephen Knowles tested the effect of deadline length on task completion for their research. (Stephen Knowles教授在他们的研究中测试了截止日期长度对任务完成的影响)”可推断，Stephen Knowles教授做这项研究是为了研究设定截止日期对拖延这一行为的影响。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“No deadline and the one-week deadline led to many early responses, while a long deadline appeared to give people permission to procrastinate, and then forget. (没有截止日期和一周的截止日期导致了许多早期的回复，而较长的截止日期似乎允许人们拖延，然后忘记)”可知，设定很长的截止日期最有可能导致拖延。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Professor Knowles wasn’t surprised to find that specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline.( Knowles教授毫不惊讶地发现，与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期会增加收到回复的机会)”可推断，Knowles教授对这项研究结果的态度是不惊讶的。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据文章第一段“They say procrastination is the thief of time — actually deadlines are. (人们说拖延是时间的小偷——实际上截止日期才是罪魁祸首)”以及第三段“specifying a shorter deadline increased the chances of receiving a response compared to a longer deadline. (与较长的截止日期相比，指定较短的截止日期可以增加收到回复的机会)”可知，文章主要介绍了设定截止日期的长短会影响人们做事是否拖延。由此可知，C项“Deadline — the Key to Reducing Procrastination (截止日期——减少拖延的关键)”适合作为本文标题。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。 Perseverance isn’t easy. But before you blame your lack of willpower, consider this: Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively. ___16___ ___17___Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature. It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow. ___18___It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present. With regular practice, you’ll increase the ability to focus. It can be tempting to wait until you feel ready to make a change. But waiting until you feel good about yourself before you take action could backfire. Instead, when you change your behavior, your thoughts and your emotions will follow. So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better. ___19___ Every day is a chance to develop some mental strength. Simple, short exercises performed over time will help you build mental strength. ___20___Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength. A. The only time you can make changes is right now. B. With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength. C. You can stay away from the bad habits by regular training. D. Mental strength has a lot in common with physical strength. E. You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit. F. Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength. G. Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. A 19. G 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是如何增强自己的精神力量。 【16题详解】 根据空前的“Building mental strength is similar to building physical strength. In just a few minutes each day, you can train your brain to think differently, manage your emotions, and behave productively.(增强精神力量与增强体力类似。每天只需几分钟，你就可以训练你的大脑以不同的方式思考，管理你的情绪，并表现得富有成效。)”可知，第一段总体是在讨论提高精神力量，空处为最后一句，应该总结本段并引出下段，后面都在讲提高精神力量的方法，因此B选项“With regular exercise, you’ll build your mental strength.(有规律的练习可以增强你的精神力量。)”说明练习可以增强精神力量，引出下一段的方法，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选B。 【17题详解】 空格处是本段主题句，由空后的“Think about three things you are grateful for in your life. It could be as simple as the clean water that you drink. Write in a gratitude journal, list the things you feel grateful for over dinner, or make it a habit to find what you’re thankful for before you go to bed. Over time, being grateful becomes a second nature.(想想你生命中感恩的三件事。它可以像你喝的干净的水一样简单。写一本感恩日记，在晚餐时列出你感激的事情，或者养成在睡觉前找到你感激的事情的习惯。久而久之，感恩就成了你的第二天性。)”可知，本段主题为通过把感恩变成一种习惯来改变思维方式，E选项“You can physically change your brain by making gratitude a habit.(你可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑。)”说明可以通过养成感恩的习惯来改变你的大脑，概括了本段内容，可作为主题句。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据空前句“It’s impossible to stay strong when you’re thinking about something that happened last week or horrible things going to happen tomorrow.(当你想到上周发生的事情或明天会发生的可怕的事情时，你不可能保持坚强。)”以及空后句“It’s therefore of great significance to be able to concentrate on the present.(因此，能够专注于当下是非常重要的。)”可知，这里在说明当下的重要性，唯一可以做出改变的时刻只有当下，A选项“The only time you can make changes is right now.(你唯一能做出改变的时间就是现在。)”说明现在就要做出改变，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据空处前一句“So when you’re sad, put your shoulders back and smile, and you’ll feel better.(所以当你难过的时候，把你的肩膀向后仰，微笑，你会感觉好一些。)”可知，要主动地寻求改变才会让自己感觉更好，G选项“Always remember feelings of confidence won’t come out of nowhere.(永远记住，自信的感觉不会凭空而来。)”说明自信的感觉不会凭空出现（需要自己做出改变），因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 【20题详解】 根据空处后一句“Feeling sorry for yourself and giving up after your first failure are just a few of the bad habits that could discourage you from building your mental strength.(自怨自艾，第一次失败就放弃，这些坏习惯会阻碍你建立自己的精神力量。)”可知，需要关注那些使你失去精神力量的坏习惯，F选项“Pay attention to the bad habits that keep you out of mental strength.(注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯。)”说明了要注意那些让你失去精神力量的坏习惯，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) When I was 24, I moved to America, 11,000 kilometers away from my homeland.
