阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Are you looking for some movies? You’ve landed on the right place. Let’s take a look at the list I’ve collected.
A Beautiful Mind
A Beautiful Mind is the story of John Nash, a mathematician who went on to win the Nobel Prize for his Game Theory. This movie brings his whole journey on screen — from his beginning to his downhill ride.
The first half is all about his rise to fame while the second half shows how he slowly falls into madness. After many years of fighting, he finally is victorious.
I.Q.
The story is about an auto mechanic who falls for Albert Einstein’s niece. The only problem is that she is engaged (已订婚的) to someone else. Fortunately, Einstein likes him. The young man pretends to be a physicist to run after her, but things don’t go as he has planned.
If A Beautiful Mind was a little too heavy for you, I.Q. would be the perfect fit. It’s a light drama that is funny and heartwarming for the most part.
Good Will Hunting
Good Will Hunting is a touching tale of a troubled young man called Will Hunting who is gifted with a natural talent in mathematics.
However, he is struggling to find his identity. He can solve any math problem, but not the one he seems to be struggling with in his life. His life seems to be getting only worse until one day he meets Sean, a therapist, who helps him find direction in life.
Creation
Creation is a story of a famous scientist, Charles Darwin, best known for his Theory of Evolution. This movie attempts to bring his struggling days into focus, the time when he was dealing with the loss of his daughter and was suffering from hallucinations (幻觉). At the same time, he was working on a book called On the Origin of Species, which he finally completed.
All in all, Creation is a great historical drama.
1. If you are interested in a relaxing movie, which one can you see?
A. I.Q B. Creation C. A Beautiful Mind D. Good Will Hunting
2. Who are experts in mathematics?
A. Will Hunting and Sean. B. John Nash and Will Hunting.

C. To recommend actors. D. To compare movies.
B
“If you could have any three things, what would you want?”
Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate Chitsey loves asking that question, but it’s not a game she plays at recess (课间). She asks it at nursing homes in the Harrison, Arkansas, where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make the residents’ wishes come true.
Ruby Kate often comes along with her mother, Amanda, who works at nursing home in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again. Pearl was a Medicaid recipient (医疗补助受益人), who got only$40 a month to spend on personal items. Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that many residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most. “That’s a lot simpler than going ‘Hey, what do you want?” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and even just a prayer (祷告).
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says with wet eyes. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.”
Using their own money, the Chitseys made the wishes of about 100 people come true in three months. Then they started asking for donations. The good people of Harrison responded enthusiastically, and they raised $20,000 in 24 hours and more than $250,000 in five months.
4. Why does Ruby often ask the same question?
A. She likes hearing everyone’s stories. B. She wants to help residents in nursing homes.
C. She finds it interesting to repeat the question. D. It makes her famous in the community.
5. What can be inferred about Pearl in paragraph 4?
A. Pearl was in good health. B. Pearl didn’t have enough money to keep her dog.
C. Pearl was too old to raise a dog. D. Pearl sold her dog for small luxuries.
6. What moved Amanda most?
A. The simplicity and sincerity of the residents’ requests.
B. The popularity Ruby achieved for her kind behaviors.
C. The residents’ gratitude for Amanda’s assistance.
D. The generosity and enthusiasm of the good people of Harrison.
7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Action speak louder than words. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. D. Kindness is the language of the heart.
C
We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we are in low spirits.
Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection, which is a well- studied cognitive (认知的) mistake. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive aspects than negative details.
If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words, the annoying details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain.
Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.
But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our mental health. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to suffer psychological disease. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they're not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don't use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.
8. What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Concentrating on impossible things. B. Thinking objectively about the past.
C. Having a preference for good memories. D. Remembering exactly about the details.
9. Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4?
A. Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously.
B. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically.
C. Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely.
D. Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely.
10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. B. The good excuse for present happiness.
C. The accuracy of remembering past details. D. The negative impact of recalling past experience.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage?
A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Subjective. D. Objective.
D
Most adults view human life as especially precious. For example, a survey of millions of people in 233 countries, most of them in their 20s and 30s, found they largely agreed that self- driving cars should crash into dogs or cats instead of people if they had to choose. However, growing evidence suggests many young children feel differently.
Using a toy railway and Lego figures, Matti Wilks and her colleagues at the University of Edinburgh presented170 children aged 6 to 9 in an urban part of Poland with scenarios (场景) based on a thought experiment called the trolley (有轨电车) problem.
The children had to decide whether to direct a rail car down one of two tracks so that it crashed into a Lego person or a Lego animal — either a dog or chimpanzee. Surprisingly, children were likely to save a dog over a person. About 42 percent of the children wanted to save the dog and make the rail car knock down the person, compared with just 17 percent of adults. About 28 percent of children also prioritized the chimpanzee over the person, compared with 11 percent of adults.
“Children learn from their parents, teachers and others that it’s morally (道德上) important to care for others, but it may be easier for them to learn this as a blanket rule (通用规则),” says Karri Neldner at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. As a result, they don’t show a strong preference for saving one over the other, she says. “However, as they get older, they might pick up on cultural narratives that tell us it’s really important to care for other people,” says Neldner.
The reason children value dogs so highly is probably due to familiarity, says Wilks. Her studies have found that children who spent more time with dogs were more likely to say they would save a dog over a person.
12. What is the author’s purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present a scientific finding. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To provide background information. D. To advertise for self- driving cars.
13. What can be inferred from Wilks’ thought experiment?
A. It’s a normal phenomenon that children in the experiment prefer to save a dog.
B. Children’s moral development is shaped by their love for pets.
C. The trolley problem is a tool to assess children’s intelligence.
D. Children may fail to understand the value of human life.
14. What causes children to change their moral choices as they grow up?
A. Care for parents and teachers. B. Learning the blanket rule.
C. Familiarity with others. D. Cultural influence.
15. Which might be the best title for the text?
A Children’s Choices: Saving Lives or Animals? B. Mental Effects of Animals on Children
C. Moral Dilemma (困境): the Trolley Problem D. Different Opinions about Self- driving Cars

Eleven-year-old Ruby Kate Chitsey loves asking that question, but it’s not a game she plays at recess (课间). She asks it at nursing homes in the Harrison, Arkansas, where she lives. Even more amazing, she then sets out to make the residents’ wishes come true.
Ruby Kate often comes along with her mother, Amanda, who works at nursing home in the summer. “I’ve never found them scary at all, so I’m able to just go up to them and ask if they need anything,” she says.
Last May, Ruby Kate noticed a resident named Pearl staring out a window. She seemed sad. “What are you looking at?” Ruby Kate asked. Pearl said she was watching her dog being led away by his new owner after a visit. Pearl didn’t know when she would see her dog again. Pearl was a Medicaid recipient (医疗补助受益人), who got only$40 a month to spend on personal items. Ruby Kate and Amanda asked around and discovered that many residents are unable to afford even the smallest luxuries. So Ruby Kate decided to do something about it.
She started by asking residents what three things they wanted most. “That’s a lot simpler than going, ‘Hey, what do you want?” she explains. “They can understand you better.” Amanda worried that people would ask for things an 11-year-old wouldn’t be able to provide. Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and even just a prayer (祷告).
“It broke me as a human,” Amanda says with wet eyes. “We left the nursing home that day and went straight to a store and bought as many items as we could.”
Using their own money, the Chitseys made the wishes of about 100 people come true in three months. Then they started asking for donations. The good people of Harrison responded enthusiastically, and they raised $20,000 in 24 hours and more than $250,000 in five months.
4. Why does Ruby often ask the same question?
A. She likes hearing everyone’s stories. B. She wants to help residents in nursing homes.
C. She finds it interesting to repeat the question. D. It makes her famous in the community.
5. What can be inferred about Pearl in paragraph 4?
A. Pearl was in good health. B. Pearl didn’t have enough money to keep her dog.
C. Pearl was too old to raise a dog. D. Pearl sold her dog for small luxuries.
6. What moved Amanda most?
A. The simplicity and sincerity of the residents’ requests.
B. The popularity Ruby achieved for her kind behaviors.
C. The residents’ gratitude for Amanda’s assistance.
D. The generosity and enthusiasm of the good people of Harrison.
7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?
A. Action speak louder than words. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Nothing is difficult to a willing heart. D. Kindness is the language of the heart.
【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D

Even more amazing, she then sets out to make the residents’ wishes come true. ( 11岁的Ruby Kate Chitsey喜欢问这个问题,但这不是她在课间休息时玩的游戏。她在自己居住的阿肯色州哈里森的养老院问这个问题。更神奇的是,她开始着手让居民们的愿望成真。)”可知,她总是问同样的问题,并不是在课间休息时玩的游戏,而是开始着手让居民们的愿望成真,即帮助老人们满足实现他们的愿望,来帮助养老院的居民们。故选B。

Instead, they asked for chocolate bars, McDonald’s fries, and even just a prayer (祷告).

C
We sometimes think that everything was much better and easier in the past. It’s one of the tricks our minds play on us, especially when we are in low spirits.
Actually, it’s unlikely that things were objectively better in the past. This form of thinking is called rosy retrospection, which is a well- studied cognitive (认知的) mistake. It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive aspects than negative details.
If you think back to a holiday with your family five years ago, you’re likely to recall the beautiful views rather than the uncomfortable bed. In other words, the annoying details disappear from our memory over time while the positive ones remain.
Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it’s one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic (怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.
But rosy retrospection does serve an important purpose. It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our mental health. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to suffer psychological disease. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they're not, it’s still important to believe that they are. Don’t shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don't use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.
8. What does the underlined phrase “rosy retrospection” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Concentrating on impossible things. B. Thinking objectively about the past.
C. Having a preference for good memories. D. Remembering exactly about the details.
9. Which of the following is encouraged by the author according to Paragraph 4?
A. Forgiving the unacceptable behavior generously.
B. Reviewing the nostalgic feelings critically.
C. Ignoring the nostalgic feelings absolutely.
D. Getting back to the problematic relationships bravely.
10. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The importance of maintaining a positive mindset. B. The good excuse for present happiness.
C. The accuracy of remembering past details. D. The negative impact of recalling past experience.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward rosy retrospection according to the passage?
A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Subjective. D. Objective.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人们对过去的美好回忆(玫瑰色回忆)现象,指出其影响决策和心理健康,但提醒要以健康态度回顾过去,不应影响现在的幸福。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章划线短语下文内容对此短语的解释“It happens because when we think about the past, we are more likely to focus on positive aspects than negative details.(之所以会发生这种情况,是因为当我们回想过去时,我们更倾向于关注积极的方面,而不是消极的细节。)”可知,当我们回忆过去时,我们更可能关注积极的总体情况,而不是令人烦恼的细节,故此处画线短语rosy retrospection与选项A“Having a preference for good memories.(偏好美好记忆)”意义一致。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Therefore, it’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic(怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.(因此,带着健康程度的怀疑来回顾我们的怀旧情绪总是一个好主意。)”可知,作者建议我们应该以一种健康的怀疑态度来审视我们的怀旧情感,故应批判性地审视怀旧的情感。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our mental health. In fact, people who tend to remember negative experiences more than positive ones are likely to suffer psychological disease. Research generally suggests that our happiest days are still to come. And even if they're not, it's still important to believe that they are. Don't shy away from looking upon the past with a certain degree of nostalgia. But, for the same reason, don't use the past as an excuse to be unhappy in the present.(它让我们现在保持积极的心态,对我们的心理健康很重要。事实上,那些更倾向于记住消极经历而不是积极经历的人很可能表现出心理障碍。研究普遍表明,我们最幸福的日子还未到来。即使它们不是,重要的是要相信它们是。不要羞于带着某种程度的怀旧去回顾过去。但是,出于同样的原因,不要把过去作为现在不开心的借口。)”可知,最后一段讨论了“玫瑰色回忆”在保持当前积极心态和心理健康方面的重要性。它指出“它让我们保持当前的积极心态,对我们的心理健康很重要。”故这表明该段落的主要思想是保持积极心态的重要性。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Rosy retrospection can influence how we make decisions, and it's one of the reasons why we easily return into problematic relationships. The longer it is since we experienced the negative influence of a relationship, the more likely we are to let the good memories outweigh the bad memories and to perhaps forgive unforgivable behavior. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to review our nostalgic(怀旧的) feelings with a healthy degree of doubt.(美好的回忆会影响我们做决定的方式,这也是为什么我们很容易回到问题关系中的原因之一。我们经历一段关系的负面影响的时间越长,我们就越有可能让美好的记忆超过糟糕的记忆,也许会原谅不可原谅的行为。带着健康程度的怀疑来回顾我们的怀旧情绪(总是一个好主意。)”以及最后一段“It keeps us in a positive state of mind in the present and is important to our mental health.(它让我们现在保持积极的心态,对我们的心理健康很重要。)”可知,作者认可美好回忆有助于维持当前的积极心态和对心理健康有益,但是作者也提醒读者要注意其潜在的风险。由此可知,作者对美好回忆(玫瑰色回忆)抱有客观的态度。故选D。
D
Most adults view human life as especially precious. For example, a survey of millions of people in 233 countries, most of them in their 20s and 30s, found they largely agreed that self- driving cars should crash into dogs or cats instead of people if they had to choose. However, growing evidence suggests many young children feel differently.
Using a toy railway and Lego figures, Matti Wilks and her colleagues at the University of Edinburgh presented170 children aged 6 to 9 in an urban part of Poland with scenarios (场景) based on a thought experiment called the trolley (有轨电车) problem.
The children had to decide whether to direct a rail car down one of two tracks so that it crashed into a Lego person or a Lego animal — either a dog or chimpanzee. Surprisingly, children were likely to save a dog over a person. About 42 percent of the children wanted to save the dog and make the rail car knock down the person, compared with just 17 percent of adults. About 28 percent of children also prioritized the chimpanzee over the person, compared with 11 percent of adults.
“Children learn from their parents, teachers and others that it’s morally (道德上) important to care for others, but it may be easier for them to learn this as a blanket rule (通用规则),” says Karri Neldner at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany. As a result, they don’t show a strong preference for saving one over the other, she says. “However, as they get older, they might pick up on cultural narratives that tell us it’s really important to care for other people,” says Neldner.
The reason children value dogs so highly is probably due to familiarity, says Wilks. Her studies have found that children who spent more time with dogs were more likely to say they would save a dog over a person.
12. What is the author’s purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To present a scientific finding. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To provide background information. D. To advertise for self- driving cars.
13. What can be inferred from Wilks’ thought experiment?
A. It’s a normal phenomenon that children in the experiment prefer to save a dog.
B. Children’s moral development is shaped by their love for pets.
C. The trolley problem is a tool to assess children’s intelligence.
D. Children may fail to understand the value of human life.
14. What causes children to change their moral choices as they grow up?
A. Care for parents and teachers. B. Learning the blanket rule.
C. Familiarity with others. D. Cultural influence.
15. Which might be the best title for the text?
A. Children’s Choices: Saving Lives or Animals? B. Mental Effects of Animals on Children
C. Moral Dilemma (困境): the Trolley Problem D. Different Opinions about Self- driving Cars
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了儿童与成人在道德选择上的差异,儿童在面临人类与动物的生命选择时,更可能选择拯救动物,揭示了儿童可能不完全理解人类生命的价值。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Most adults view human life as especially precious. For example, a survey of millions of people in 233 countries, most of them in their 20s and 30s, found they largely agreed that self- driving cars should crash into dogs or cats instead of people if they had to choose.(大多数成年人认为人的生命是特别宝贵的。例如,一项针对233个国家数百万人的调查发现,他们大多是20多岁和30多岁的人,他们基本上同意,如果必须选择的话,自动驾驶汽车应该撞狗或猫,而不是撞人。)”可知,本段通过提出一个关于自动驾驶汽车的选择问题,作者引导读者思考儿童与成年人在面对生命选择时的不同态度和看法,从而引出文章的主题,即儿童在道德选择上与成年人存在差异。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Surprisingly, children were likely to save a dog over a person.(令人惊讶的是,孩子们更愿意救狗而不是人。)”可知,孩子们在面临电车问题的选择时,更有可能选择拯救一只狗而不是一个人。这表明他们在某种程度上可能没有完全理解人类生命的价值。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“However, as they get older, they might pick up on cultural narratives that tell us it’s really important to care for other people(然而,随着年龄的增长,他们可能会接受文化叙事,告诉我们关心他人真的很重要)”可知,孩子们随着年龄的增长可能会接受文化叙事,告诉我们关心他人非常重要,这表明文化影响可能是导致孩子们在道德决策上发生变化的因素之一。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第三段中“Surprisingly, children were likely to save a dog over a person.(令人惊讶的是,孩子们更愿意救狗而不是人。)”可知,文章主要讨论的是儿童在道德选择上的偏好,因此最好的题目是A选项“Children’s Choices: Saving Lives or Animals?(孩子们的选择:拯救生命还是动物?)”,故选A。
