B Even now, I have vivid memories of my last day of high school. In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I’m wandering around the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and shooting the breeze (闲聊) with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal insignificance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting. 4. What can the author suggest doing to make the end of a school year memorable? A. Planning a special event for the last day. B. Reflecting on the entire academic year. C. Ignoring school regulations. D. Focusing on the final exam. 5. Which statement is true about the peak-end rule? A. The last moments matter the most in our memories. B. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings. C. The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember. D. Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What struggles the author had in life. B. How the author treated her daughters. C. Why the author read stories to her kids. D. How the author applied the rule to daily life. 7. Why is Pete Carroll mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the importance of doing sports. B. To explain why last impressions are lasting. C. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports. D. To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience. C Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city? It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon. Our moon goes through phases(月相) and it looks a little different every day. When the whole moon is lit up, it is called a full moon. When the Moon is entirely dark, it’s a new moon. When there is only a thin edge of the circle shining, it’s a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising, we can occasionally see a unique event. When the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are lined up just right, some of the sunlight that hits the Earth can be reflected onto the Moon. This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow, while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow. It was Leonardo da Vinci, a great artist, inventor and scientist, who explained it for the first time. Sometimes, it is also called “earthshine.” When Da Vinci wrote about earthshine, he suggested that it might be caused by sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. He was almost completely correct, except for one detail: most of the reflected sunlight comes from the clouds in our atmosphere. The reflected light from the Earth is bright enough to light up the side of the Moon that isn’t receiving direct sunlight. The Da Vinci glow is not easy to see. Conditions need to be just right. Due to the angles of light, the Moon has to be very low on the horizon. The best time to see it will be in the days before and after the new moon. During these days, the lit-up edge of the crescent moon is at its thinnest stage. If you observe the Moon before sunrise or after sunset, it may be possible to witness the reflected light from the Earth. For the best experience, choose a location outdoors where there is not too much artificial light. You can use a telescope, but it’s not necessary since the Moon will look just as impressive when viewed with the bare eye. 8. Which of the following is the Da Vinci glow? A. B. C. D. 9. What is the main cause of the Da Vinci glow? A. Sunlight received by the Moon’s surface. B. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s clouds. C. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. D. Sunlight received by the Moon’s lit-up edge. 10. Why is the Da Vinci glow an unusual phenomenon? A. It requires specific light conditions. B. It lasts too short to be observed. C. It occurs at the crescent moon stage. D. It needs bright light from the Sun. 11. Which of the following matters most to an ideal observation of the phenomenon? A. A suitable place. B. Good eyesight. C. A special instrument. D. Bright moonlight. D In today’s digital era, social media users are increasingly coming across fake news online. This leads to the pressing issue: What causes people to fall for misinformation on the Internet? According to researchers at the Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology, users can easily fall into an echo chamber (回声室) — a sort of virtual space where users consume only one-sided news, eventually distrusting any opposing views. “We all tend to agree with the group opinion. Hence, people naturally get together with others who hold the same opinion,” said Dongwon Lee, one of the researchers. “But if you’re not cautious, there is a high risk of falling into an echo chamber.” To prevent this phenomenon, the researchers have crafted a novel tool, a game named ChamberBreaker, to help players resist echo chambers and reduce the rate of fake news spread. The fundamental approach employed by ChamberBreaker centers around a decision-making procedure that mirrors the creation of echo chambers. In ChamberBreaker, a player is tasked with trying to have community members fall into an echo chamber. To begin, the player is randomly assigned a situation that focuses on a health, political or environmental issue, and is presented with six pieces of news on that topic. Then, the player selects news that could cause the other members to fall into an echo chamber while at the same time maintaining their trust. If successful, the community members will fall into an echo chamber and the player will witness the resulting negative effects on the community. After developing ChamberBreaker, researchers tested it with over 800 subjects to see if it raised awareness of echo chambers and changed news consumption behaviors. The researchers found that those who played ChamberBreaker were significantly more likely to state their intention to observe online information from more diverse perspectives and showed an increased awareness of the echo chamber phenomenon. Ultimately, the researchers hope that their methodology can excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study related to information consumption. The application of tools like ChamberBreaker, which focuses on fostering analytical reasoning, may lead us towards a more informed online community. 12. What can be learned about an online echo chamber? A. It encourages well-judged views. B. It gathers like-minded individuals. C. It functions as a virtual reality platform. D. It serves as a tool for identifying fake information. 13. What is ChamberBreaker’s core method against echo chambers? A. Assignment of situations. B. Trust-building exercises. C. News selection strategy. D. Community impact assessment. 14. Which of the following can show ChamberBreaker’s effectiveness? A. The results of scientific testing. B. The theoretical framework of the game. C. The description of the game procedures. D. The common challenges faced during gameplay. 15. What is the likely long-term effect of playing ChamberBreaker? A. Reducing news inquiry. B. Encouraging passive reading. C. Strengthening prejudiced views. D. Enhancing critical thinking. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes.

Here are some ways that can help you learn to love yourself. Write down what you like about yourself. Make this a daily routine. Every day, spare some time in the evening and write down three things that you appreciate yourself. They can be related to what happened that day or they can be in general but you need to note down three things even if it’s hard for you to think of them. Not only will it instantly make you feel better, but it will also be of great help in the future. When you’re having a bad day, just take out your list and go through what you’ve written every day. Another great thing that will immediately improve how you see yourself is your treatment of others. Be kind to others, and not only will you feel good. you will also probably receive the same treatment from them. Be there for someone in trouble and really listen to him. Help an elderly neighbor carry his bags to his apartment. Call someone you haven’t heard from for a long time. Smile at a stranger. All of these things will be an instant boost of positive energy. Healthy body and healthy mind are really connected more than you know, and as much as you can harm your physical health with negative thoughts, you can also improve your mental health by taking care of your body. Learn to love your body by keeping a healthy diet. Learn about nutrition and foods that both make you feel good and are healthy for you. Moreover, start working out and do something you actually enjoy. Not everyone enjoys going to the gym or jogging. Take part in some sports you’ve always wanted to try or take dance lessons. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门双十2023-2024学年第一学期高二年第一次月考 英语试题 第一部分听力(共两节, 满分30分) 第一节(共5小题:每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话, 每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给出的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

In my mind’s eye, I’m cleaning out my locker, and then staring at the emptiness for a few extra beats before slamming it shut for the last time. I’m wandering around the halls with my best friend, blissfully ignoring the bells going off every 50 minutes on schedule because, just today, we’re allowed to break the rules. I’m sitting on my desk, swinging my feet, and shooting the breeze (闲聊) with my English teacher, Mr. Carr, in a way that makes me feel almost grown up. It was maybe my favorite day of the whole year. Like the final layer of watercolor, the freedom and lightness I feel seeps (渗透) into the rest of my memories of that day and turns them just a shade rosier. If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments). Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint. I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before. Don’t mistake all moments as equal insignificance. There’s a reason why yoga classes end with savasana (挺卧式). There’s a reason we eat dessert last. Do organize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting. 4. What can the author suggest doing to make the end of a school year memorable? A. Planning a special event for the last day. B. Reflecting on the entire academic year. C. Ignoring school regulations. D. Focusing on the final exam. 5. Which statement is true about the peak-end rule? A. The last moments matter the most in our memories. B. Peaks in life can be remembered better than endings. C. The peaks and ends of experiences are easier to remember. D. Our judgment of the past is determined by first impressions. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. What struggles the author had in life. B. How the author treated her daughters. C. Why the author read stories to her kids. D. How the author applied the rule to daily life. 7. Why is Pete Carroll mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the importance of doing sports. B. To explain why last impressions are lasting. C. To prove the peak-end rule can be used in sports. D. To encourage readers to value the last moments of an experience. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过自己高中最后一天的鲜活记忆和坚持给女儿讲睡前故事的经历讲述了“峰终定律”，它表明我们对一段经历的判断很大程度上取决于这段经历的巅峰和结尾，并建议人们珍惜结尾。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“If the school year hasn’t yet ended for you, consider what you can do to make the finale count. Why? Because when it comes to human memory, not all moments are created equal. Instead, our remembered experiences are disproportionately (不成比例地) influenced by peaks (the best moments as well as the worst) and endings (the last moments).(如果你的学年还没有结束，考虑一下你能做些什么来让结尾有意义。为什么？因为当涉及到人类记忆时，并不是所有的时刻都是平等的。相反，我们记忆中的经历不成比例地受到高峰（最好的时刻和最坏的时刻）和结局（最后的时刻）的影响。)”可知，人类对一段经历的高峰（最好的时刻和最坏的时刻）和结尾记忆最深，所以作者建议提前考虑学年的结尾方式，从而让它变得有意义。由此可推测出，作者建议为学年最后一天策划一个特殊的活动。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Nobel Prize winner Danny Kahneman, who discovered this phenomenon, called this the peak-end rule. It suggests that our judgment of a past experience is largely based on its most extreme point and its endpoint.(诺贝尔奖获得者丹尼·卡尼曼发现了这一现象，称之为“峰终定律”。这表明，我们对过去经历的判断很大程度上是基于其最极端的点和终点。)”可知，峰终定律表明，我们对过去经历的判断很大程度上是基于其最极端的点和终点，由此可推断出，一段经历的巅峰和结尾是最容易被记住的。故选C。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“I took advantage of the peak-end rule years ago, when my girls were young enough to want a bedtime story each night. I remember thinking that whatever disagreement and stress had occurred that day, I could make the last moments count. I could end on a note of calm and act like the patient mom I hadn’t quite managed to be just hours before.(几年前，当我的女儿们还很小，每天晚上都想讲一个睡前故事时，我就利用了这条峰终定律。我记得当时我在想，无论那天发生了什么分歧和压力，我都能让最后的时刻有意义。我可以平静地结束，表现得像一个几个小时前我还没能做到的耐心妈妈。)”可知，本段主要讲述了作者在生活中运用峰终定律，为女儿们读睡前故事，当一个耐心的妈妈，让每一天的最后时刻变得有意义。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Do organize endings carefully. As Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll might say: Finish strong. Last impressions are especially lasting.(一定要仔细安排结局。正如西雅图海鹰队教练皮特·卡罗尔可能会说的那样：强势完成比赛。最后的印象尤其持久。)”可知，作者在最后建议读者要仔细安排结尾，并引用皮特·卡罗尔的话“强势完成比赛”来说明最后的印象会非常持久，强调结尾的重要性，由此可推测出，作者提到皮特·卡罗尔是为了鼓励读者重视一段经历的最后时刻。故选D。 C Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city? It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon. Our moon goes through phases(月相) and it looks a little different every day. When the whole moon is lit up, it is called a full moon. When the Moon is entirely dark, it’s a new moon. When there is only a thin edge of the circle shining, it’s a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising, we can occasionally see a unique event. When the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are lined up just right, some of the sunlight that hits the Earth can be reflected onto the Moon. This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow, while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow. It was Leonardo da Vinci, a great artist, inventor and scientist, who explained it for the first time. Sometimes, it is also called “earthshine.” When Da Vinci wrote about earthshine, he suggested that it might be caused by sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. He was almost completely correct, except for one detail: most of the reflected sunlight comes from the clouds in our atmosphere. The reflected light from the Earth is bright enough to light up the side of the Moon that isn’t receiving direct sunlight. The Da Vinci glow is not easy to see. Conditions need to be just right. Due to the angles of light, the Moon has to be very low on the horizon. The best time to see it will be in the days before and after the new moon. During these days, the lit-up edge of the crescent moon is at its thinnest stage. If you observe the Moon before sunrise or after sunset, it may be possible to witness the reflected light from the Earth. For the best experience, choose a location outdoors where there is not too much artificial light. You can use a telescope, but it’s not necessary since the Moon will look just as impressive when viewed with the bare eye. 8. Which of the following is the Da Vinci glow? A. B. C. D. 9. What is the main cause of the Da Vinci glow? A. Sunlight received by the Moon’s surface. B. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s clouds. C. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. D. Sunlight received by the Moon’s lit-up edge. 10. Why is the Da Vinci glow an unusual phenomenon? A. It requires specific light conditions. B. It lasts too short to be observed. C. It occurs at the crescent moon stage. D. It needs bright light from the Sun. 11. Which of the following matters most to an ideal observation of the phenomenon? A. A suitable place. B. Good eyesight. C. A special instrument. D. Bright moonlight. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了月球的达·芬奇辉光现象。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow, while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. (这导致月球的大部分发出微弱的光芒，而月球的其余部分则被阳光照亮。)”和第三段中“This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow.(这种现象被命名为达·芬奇辉光。)”可知，B项符合达·芬奇辉光现象。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He was almost completely correct, except for one detail: most of the reflected sunlight comes from the clouds in our atmosphere. (他几乎是完全正确的，除了一个细节：大部分反射的阳光来自我们大气层中的云。)”可知，达・芬奇辉光主要是地球云层反射的阳光。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第一段中“The Da Vinci glow is not easy to see. Conditions need to be just right. Due to the angles of light, the Moon has to be very low on the horizon.(达·芬奇辉光不容易被看到。条件需要恰到好处。由于光线的角度，月球必须在地平线上非常低。)”可知，达·芬奇辉光是一种不寻常的现象，因为它需要特定的光照条件。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For the best experience, choose a location outdoors where there is not too much artificial light. (为了获得最佳体验，选择室外没有太多人造光的地方。)”可知，一个合适的地方对观察该现象最重要。故选A项。 D In today’s digital era, social media users are increasingly coming across fake news online. This leads to the pressing issue: What causes people to fall for misinformation on the Internet? According to researchers at the Penn State College of Information Sciences and Technology, users can easily fall into an echo chamber (回声室) — a sort of virtual space where users consume only one-sided news, eventually distrusting any opposing views. “We all tend to agree with the group opinion. Hence, people naturally get together with others who hold the same opinion,” said Dongwon Lee, one of the researchers. “But if you’re not cautious, there is a high risk of falling into an echo chamber.” To prevent this phenomenon, the researchers have crafted a novel tool, a game named ChamberBreaker, to help players resist echo chambers and reduce the rate of fake news spread. The fundamental approach employed by ChamberBreaker centers around a decision-making procedure that mirrors the creation of echo chambers. In ChamberBreaker, a player is tasked with trying to have community members fall into an echo chamber. To begin, the player is randomly assigned a situation that focuses on a health, political or environmental issue, and is presented with six pieces of news on that topic. Then, the player selects news that could cause the other members to fall into an echo chamber while at the same time maintaining their trust. If successful, the community members will fall into an echo chamber and the player will witness the resulting negative effects on the community. After developing ChamberBreaker, researchers tested it with over 800 subjects to see if it raised awareness of echo chambers and changed news consumption behaviors. The researchers found that those who played ChamberBreaker were significantly more likely to state their intention to observe online information from more diverse perspectives and showed an increased awareness of the echo chamber phenomenon. Ultimately, the researchers hope that their methodology can excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study related to information consumption. The application of tools like ChamberBreaker, which focuses on fostering analytical reasoning, may lead us towards a more informed online community. 12. What can be learned about an online echo chamber? A. It encourages well-judged views. B. It gathers like-minded individuals. C. It functions as a virtual reality platform. D. It serves as a tool for identifying fake information. 13. What is ChamberBreaker’s core method against echo chambers? A. Assignment of situations. B. Trust-building exercises. C. News selection strategy. D. Community impact assessment. 14. Which of the following can show ChamberBreaker’s effectiveness? A. The results of scientific testing. B. The theoretical framework of the game. C. The description of the game procedures. D. The common challenges faced during gameplay. 15. What is the likely long-term effect of playing ChamberBreaker? A. Reducing news inquiry. B. Encouraging passive reading. C. Strengthening prejudiced views. D. Enhancing critical thinking. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章探讨了在数字时代，社交媒体用户为什么容易陷入假新闻的陷阱，以及如何通过一款名为ChamberBreaker的游戏工具来识别和抵制网络上的回声室效应。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘We all tend to agree with the group opinion. Hence, people naturally get together with others who hold the same opinion,’ said Dongwon Lee, one of the researchers. (‘我们都倾向于认同群体观点。因此，人们自然会与持相同观点的人聚在一起，’研究人员之一 Dongwon Lee说。)”可知，在线回声室会聚集持有相同观点的个体。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The fundamental approach employed by ChamberBreaker centers around a decision-making procedure that mirrors the creation of echo chambers. In ChamberBreaker, a player is tasked with trying to have community members fall into an echo chamber. To begin, the player is randomly assigned a situation that focuses on a health, political or environmental issue, and is presented with six pieces of news on that topic. Then, the player selects news that could cause the other members to fall into an echo chamber while at the same time maintaining their trust. (ChamberBreaker采用的基本方法围绕着反映回声室创建的决策程序。在ChamberBreaker中，一名玩家的任务是试图让社区成员落入回音室。首先，玩家被随机分配一个关注健康、政治或环境问题的情况，并收到六条关于该主题的新闻。然后，玩家选择可能导致其他成员落入回音室的新闻，同时保持他们的信任。)”可知，ChamberBreaker对付回声室的核心方法是新闻选择策略。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“After developing ChamberBreaker, researchers tested it with over 800 subjects to see if it raised awareness of echo chambers and changed news consumption behaviors. The researchers found that those who played ChamberBreaker were significantly more likely to state their intention to observe online information from more diverse perspectives and showed an increased awareness of the echo chamber phenomenon. (在开发出ChamberBreaker之后，研究人员对800多名受试者进行了测试，看看它是否提高了人们对回声室的认识，并改变了新闻消费行为。研究人员发现，玩ChamberBreaker的人更有可能从更多不同的角度观察网络信息，并且对回音室现象的意识也更强。)”可知，科学测试的结果可以显示ChamberBreaker的有效性。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Ultimately, the researchers hope that their methodology can excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study related to information consumption. The application of tools like ChamberBreaker, which focuses on fostering analytical reasoning, may lead us towards a more informed online community. (最终，研究人员希望他们的方法能够激发人们对与信息消费相关的科学和学术研究的更大兴趣。像ChamberBreaker这样专注于培养分析推理能力的工具的应用，可能会引导我们走向一个信息更灵通的在线社区。)”可知，这意味着玩Chamber Breaker的长期效应可能是增强批判性思维。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How colour psychology influences your dinner party guests After spending hours cooking and preparing the table setting for your guests, you hope that everyone enjoys your recipes. But it’s not all about the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the cook. ____16____Whether it is a plate, a glass, a bowl or a cup, colour makes a significant impact on your guests. ___17___After that first impression, the brain integrates the visual information and affects perception(认知), making you think that the same food is excellent, good or average.

And they are more unwilling to try new food in a red bowl. ___18___ You can never go wrong with a white plate. Just avoid it when the food served is pale. For desserts, white is ideal because it increases flavors and enhances sweetness. ____19____ Serving food in a black bowl can increase perceptions of its saltiness and portion size. To bring extra aesthetic(审美的)appeal, creativity and to highlight foods lacking in colour, you can serve your meal on bright plates. But be careful! ____20____Similar ingredient colors to the tableware make everything integrate together and your guests think they have less food. A. It starts with your sight. B.

As far as I’m concerned, while AI classes are becoming more popular, it would be better for us to combine traditional classes with AI classes in our study. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于议论文。要求考生就内容是“Will traditional classes be replaced by AI classes (Artificial Intelligence)?”的帖子发表自己的看法，内容要点包括：1.
