His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign - a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 4. What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Have a try. B. Give a hand. C. Get a big head. D. Have second thoughts. 5 What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A. His great passion for racing. B. His unused toys all over the place. C. Family education from his childhood. D. Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital. 6. Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion? A. Creative and childish. B. Kind and straightforward. C Easy-going and sympathetic. D. Generous and enterprising. 7. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph of the passage? A. How the studies affect academic performance. B. The final outcome of Orion’s toy-gathering event. C. Orion’s future career planning after his graduation. D. The achievement of the Race to 500, 000 Books campaign. C When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make. Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby. This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.” 8. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2? A. Why dolphins live and play in groups. B. How dolphins develop their unique sounds. C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess. D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans. 9. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins? A. By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features. B. By recording parent-child interaction frequency. C. By measuring the distance between parent and child. D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins. 10. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young? A. To help them learn to talk. B. To teach them hunting skills. C. To express worry and care. D. To distract their attention. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins. B. To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence. C. To share new findings about dolphin communication. D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins’ language. D If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking. “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand. Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential money gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom (幻影) costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch. The researchers also showed how to make the effect less severe: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 12. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie? A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer. C. They think the offer is not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time. 13. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4? A. The moral concerns. B. The research method. C. The experiments’ duration. D. The participants’ background. 14. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment in the last paragraph? A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices. B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices. C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples. D. To show giving sensible reasons can increase acceptance of offers. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Are you worried about “phantom costs”? B. Are you fearful of violating social norms? C. Why do you accept other’s generosity? D. What is an offer’s “psychological value”? 第二节 （共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中的两项为多余选项. Many people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. ___16___. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic? Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ___17___. Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ___18___. Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. ___19___. This step is self- explanatory (不释自明的). While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. Remind yourself that it’s a new learning chance. Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. Remember: there is no right answer. There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no fixed interpretation and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you. Just enjoy the process. ___20___. Even if your interpretation of the work isn’t perfect, it’s still valuable. A. Just pick the book up B. Allow the book to grow with you C. It has some form of historical influence D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something F. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight G.

When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby said, “Don’t worry. It’ll still taste good.” And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy (酥脆的), but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said, “You’ll do better next time.” And, sure enough, David studied harder and got a perfect score the next week. When his teacher, Mr. D, bumped into a book stand in the library, Ittleby said, “Don’t worry. The librarian won’t be upset.” He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books. Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him and said, “I doubt it.” When Mr. D said they’d have recess(课间休息) inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” But Hazel shook her head saying, “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Then outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker. “Bad things come in threes.” said Hazel. “No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? ” The class didn’t have to wait long to find out. Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She fell over, and paints went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel turned to Ittleby. “That is the second bad thing. What will the third be?” she said. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things. Then Emma came to look at Ittleby’ s painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. She picked it up, not realizing she had paints on her fingers. Hazel pointed and said,“Ittleby’ s picture is messed up! There’s number three.” 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of being angry Ittleby said, “If I add wings, the fingerprints could look like butterflies.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Do you want to add your fingerprint too?” Ittleby asked Hazel. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1-5 BCACC 6-10 ABCAB 11-15 ABBAA 16-20 CBBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 哈尔滨市第九中学校2024-2025学年度 高三上学期期中考试英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 满分150分 共5页） 第Ⅰ卷 （满分95分） 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.

His goal is to spread kindness and inspire others to do the same. It all started last year when Orion’s elementary school teacher suggested that the then 9-year-old enter the National Kindness Speech Contest. “I decided that I was just going to give it a shot and see how it would go,” Orion tells us. He gave a speech about how kindness could “change a nation,” and won the competition, receiving a $500 cash prize. He quickly realized he wasn’t going to use all of that money. “I’m a kid,” he says, “I have everything that I could ever want. But there are people who don’t.” Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign - a series of events to help others. Orion describes the campaign as “just an idea where I would spread kindness and people would be able to join the race by spreading kindness in their own communities.” He decided to start by helping children with health problems in the hospital, saying, “What better way to amuse a kid than a toy?” So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. He collected over 600 toys, which were donated to the Children’s Health Hospital in Dallas in 2021. But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community. Race to Kindness partnered with a local nonprofit organization to help get 100, 000 meals donated and to feed people who might not have had a meal for Thanksgiving. The result? “We were able to not only reach but also surpass our goal of 100, 000 meals,” he says. In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. When asked why he thinks of books, “I’m a huge book fan,” Orion shares, “and studies show that children who have books in their homes do better academically.” 4. What does the underlined words “give it a shot” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Have a try. B. Give a hand. C. Get a big head. D. Have second thoughts. 5. What helps Orion bring about the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign? A. His great passion for racing. B. His unused toys all over the place. C. Family education from his childhood. D. Heartbreaking scenes in the hospital. 6. Which of the following can best describe the young boy Orion? A. Creative and childish. B. Kind and straightforward. C. Easy-going and sympathetic. D. Generous and enterprising. 7. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph of the passage? A. How the studies affect academic performance. B. The final outcome of Orion’s toy-gathering event. C. Orion’s future career planning after his graduation. D. The achievement of the Race to 500, 000 Books campaign. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个有使命感的孩子Orion Jean，他认为善良是一种美德，并以身行善，发起了一系列慈善活动，帮助了很多有需要的人。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分下文“see how it would go(看看会怎么样)”可知，Orion觉得试一试（参加慈善演讲比赛），看看结果会是什么样的。因此猜测，划线部分意为“试一试”。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Orion, who says his parents always taught him that “kindness is a virtue that we should all try to possess,” came up with the idea of the Race to Kindness campaign - a series of events to help others.(Orion说，他的父母总是告诉他“善良是一种美德，我们都应该努力拥有”，于是他想出了“Race to Kindness”活动的主意——通过一系列活动来帮助他人)”可知，小时候Orion所受的家庭教育让他有了“Race to Kindness”活动的主意。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“So, he used his winnings to buy as many toys as possible and launched a toy fair to gather more. (所以，他用他的奖金买了尽可能多的玩具，并发起了一个玩具博览会来收集更多的玩具)”可知，Orion用自己的奖金买玩具送给别人，由此推知他很慷慨；根据第五段的“But Orion was just getting started. After the toy fair, he launched an ambitious “Race to 100, 000 meals” to help food-insecure people in his community.(但Orion才刚刚起步。玩具展结束后，他发起了一项雄心勃勃的“Race to 100, 000 meals”，以帮助他所在社区的粮食不安全的人)”以及最后一段的“In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. (2022年5月，这位慈善活动家决定发起“Race to 500, 000 Books”，以帮助那些买不起书或生活在“书沙漠”中的家庭)”可知，Orion不断发起慈善活动，由此推知他非常有进取心。综上，故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“In May 2022, the kindness activist decided to launch “Race to 500, 000 Books” to help families who couldn’t afford books or live in “book deserts”. (2022年5月，这位慈善活动家决定发起“Race to 500, 000 Books”，以帮助那些买不起书或生活在“书沙漠”中的家庭)”推知，下文很有可能陈述“Race to 500, 000 Books”这项活动所取得的成就，例如该活动收集到多少本书，或者给多少孩子送去了书，以及对书籍对这些孩子的影响等。故选D。 C When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins. Dolphins are intelligent animals that live and hunt in groups. They communicate in a unique way: every individual produces its own signature sound that acts much like an ID card, usually by its first birthday. But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve this mystery, researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make. Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins. When the mother dolphins were near their young, they continued to make their signature sound, but at a higher frequency. They also used a wider range of frequencies than they did when their babies were not nearby. This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves. Since dolphin babies often spend some years with their mothers before living on their own, it makes sense that this adaptation would help them learn to communicate. At the very least, the higher-pitched whistle likely gets the babies’ attention. “It’s important for a baby to know,’ Oh, Mum’s talking to me now,’” says marine biologist June Mann. This kind of research could help us understand how language developed in humans. “It is absolutely essential to have basic knowledge about other species and how they communicate,” says Mann. “I would be really interested to see whether dolphins also change their sounds when interacting with babies of others, which is what happens in humans.” 8. What do the underlined words “this mystery ”refer to in paragraph 2? A. Why dolphins live and play in groups. B. How dolphins develop their unique sounds. C. What aspects of intelligence dolphins possess. D. Whether dolphins can use parentese like humans. 9. How did the researchers carry out their study of dolphins? A. By analyzing mother dolphins’ sound features. B. By recording parent-child interaction frequency. C. By measuring the distance between parent and child. D. By examining the speech organs of mother dolphins. 10. What is a suggested reason why dolphin mothers use parentese with their young? A. To help them learn to talk. B. To teach them hunting skills. C. To express worry and care. D. To distract their attention. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To compare the parentese of humans and dolphins. B. To illustrate the development of dolphin intelligence. C. To share new findings about dolphin communication. D. To highlight the value of studying dolphins’ language. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But how does each come up with its distinctive whistle? For babies, it might have something to do with listening to Mum. To solve”以及后文“researchers examined the sounds mother dolphins, make.”可知，海豚发出独特声音与听到海豚妈妈的声音有关，所以为了解“海豚如何发出独特的声音”这个谜团，研究人员检查了海豚妈妈发出的声音。故划线词指的是“海豚如何发出独特的声音”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Scientists studied 34 years’ worth of recordings of sounds made by 19 female bottlenose dolphins.(科学家们研究了19只雌性宽吻海豚34年来的声音记录)”可知，研究人员通过分析母海豚的声音特征对海豚进行研究。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“This discovery suggests that using these modifications mother dolphins assist their young in learning how to produce these calls themselves.(这一发现表明，利用这些变化，海豚妈妈帮助它们的孩子学习如何自己发出这些叫声)”可知，海豚妈妈对幼崽使用父母语的原因是帮助他们学会说话。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When adult humans meet a baby, many can’t help speaking in a higher-pitched (更高音的), sing-song y voice. This shift, known as parentese, is not unique to humans — it has also been observed in animals like monkeys and gorillas. Now, scientists are adding one more species to that list: bottlenose dolphins.(当成年人遇到婴儿时，许多人会情不自禁地用一种高亢的歌声说话。这种被称为“父母性”的转变并不是人类独有的，猴子和大猩猩等动物也有这种现象。现在，科学家们又增加了一个物种：宽吻海豚)”结合文章主要说明了海豚妈妈通过教授幼崽使用独特的声音来教会幼崽说话。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及研究的意义。可知，文章的目的是分享海豚交流的新发现。故选C。 D If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking. “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand. Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential money gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom (幻影) costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch. The researchers also showed how to make the effect less severe: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 12. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie? A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer. C. They think the offer is not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time. 13. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4? A. The moral concerns. B. The research method. C. The experiments’ duration. D. The participants’ background. 14. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment in the last paragraph? A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices. B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices. C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples. D. To show giving sensible reasons can increase acceptance of offers. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Are you worried about “phantom costs”? B. Are you fearful of violating social norms? C. Why do you accept other’s generosity? D. What is an offer’s “psychological value”? 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为什么人们会拒绝看似过于慷慨的优惠或免费赠品，探讨了经济学和心理学之间的联系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”(在《个性与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常便宜的服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”可知，人们会拒绝2美元外加一块免费饼干的提议是因为他们不相信这份提议的真正价值。故选B。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.(另外九项实验使用在线问卷来呈现其他情况。其中包括给钱让他搭车回家，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每一种情况下，超过一定的门槛，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性)”可知，第4段介绍了九个进一步实验的研究方法。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal.(研究人员还展示了如何减轻这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由)”以及““Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” (“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点，”沃纳什说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐，因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知，作者提到“廉价航班”实验是为了表明给出理由可以增加提议的接受度。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第六段“If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”.(如果某人似乎违反了公认的准则，比如自我利益，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“幻影成本”，即降低Vonasch所说的提议的“心理价值”的想象后果)”可知，文章主要讲述了为什么人们会拒绝看似过于慷慨的优惠或免费赠品，探讨了经济学和心理学之间的联系。所以短文的标题为“你担心“幻影成本”吗？”，故选A。 第二节 （共5小题，每题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项，选项中的两项为多余选项. Many people do not read the classics. Their reasons begin with the language being too difficult and end with the storyline too distant to the present context. ___16___. It is a gradual affair. We begin as acquaintances (泛泛之交) and eventually become close friends with private jokes between us. So how does one approach a classic? Don’t be afraid to be confused. We get it: it’s hard to power through confusion. It doesn’t feel great when a book makes you feel confused. Every reader has to start somewhere. ___17___. Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. Research, research, research. ___18___. Researching the author and the time and place they were writing about can help you situate yourself during tricky passages. The author’s experience, viewpoint, and historical context might help you make the connections you might not have otherwise. ___19___. This step is self- explanatory (不释自明的).

Take a deep breath, then leap onto the deck (甲板) of Melville’s Pequod or step cautiously through the gates of Castle Dracula. Remember: there is no right answer. There is no perfect way to read a classic text. There is no fixed interpretation and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you.

It has some form of historical influence D. Before you turn to page one, do some digging E. Never beat yourself up for not knowing something F. Love for classics is obviously not at first sight G. Consider what confuses you, read with intention and think critically 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. D 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何阅读经典书籍的方法。 【16题详解】 下文“It is a gradual affair. (这是一个渐进的过程)”说明对经典的喜爱不是一时产生的，与空格处是转折关系，因此F项“对经典的喜爱显然不是一见钟情”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Instead, be proud of yourself for trying, and get excited about all the new things you’ll learn. (相反，你应该为自己的尝试感到自豪，并为你将学到的所有新事物感到兴奋)”可知，此处与下文形成转折关系，说明不要因为自己的无知而责备自己。因此E项“永远不要因为不知道某事而责备自己”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据本段小标题“Research, research, research. (研究，研究，再研究)”可知，本段主要建议要做研究。由此可知，D项“在你翻到第一页之前，做一些调查”符合本段主旨，故选D。 【19题详解】 下文“This step is self-explanatory. While it’s not hard to just pick a book up, we know how difficult it can be to convince yourself to do so. (这一步不言自明。虽然捡起一本书并不难，但我们知道说服自己这样做有多难)”说明坚持读一本书是非常难得，不能轻易放弃，因此A项“把书捡起来”符合本段主旨，故选A。 【20题详解】 上文“There is no fixed interpretation and no exact answer. Your goal as a reader is to discover what aspects are meaningful to you. (没有固定的解释，也没有确切的答案。作为一名读者，你的目标是发现哪些方面对你有意义)”说明在阅读时应该想一下，需要读懂一些什么，因此G项“想想是什么让你困惑，用心阅读，批判性思考”符合语境，故选G。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Camping is a rite of passage (成人仪式) if you grow up in Canada.

When Dad forgot about the pizza and it burned, Ittleby said, “Don’t worry. It’ll still taste good.” And he was right. The pizza edges were dark and crispy (酥脆的), but the middle wasn’t half bad. When Ittleby’s friend David got a low score on the spelling test, Ittleby said, “You’ll do better next time.” And, sure enough, David studied harder and got a perfect score the next week. When his teacher, Mr. D, bumped into a book stand in the library, Ittleby said, “Don’t worry. The librarian won’t be upset.” He was right. The librarian just laughed and helped pick up the books. Ittleby looked on the bright side. And everyone liked that about him. Everyone except Hazel. Hazel was the new kid in the class. On her first day, Ittleby said, “Nice to meet you, Hazel. I think you’ll like it here.” Hazel stared at him and said, “I doubt it.” When Mr. D said they’d have recess(课间休息) inside because of the rain, Ittleby said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” But Hazel shook her head saying, “Clouds are white. Maybe gray. Where do you get this stuff?” Then outside the window, the clouds had rolled over the sun. The room felt darker. “Bad things come in threes.” said Hazel. “No outdoor recess is number one. What will the second thing be? ” The class didn’t have to wait long to find out. Greta was carrying a tray of paints during art class. She fell over, and paints went flying. There was blue on the floor and red and black on the walls. Hazel turned to Ittleby. “That is the second bad thing. What will the third be?” she said. Ittleby didn’t know what to say. Hazel seemed so sure about the Rule of Three Bad Things. Then Emma came to look at Ittleby’ s painting. “It’s beautiful,” she said. She picked it up, not realizing she had paints on her fingers. Hazel pointed and said,“Ittleby’ s picture is messed up! There’s number three.” 注意： 1. 续写的词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Instead of being angry, Ittleby said, “If I add wings, the fingerprints could look like butterflies.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Do you want to add your fingerprint too?” Ittleby asked Hazel. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Instead of being angry, Ittleby said, “If I add wings, the fingerprints could look like butterflies.” Slowly and carefully, Ittleby added wings to all the fingerprints. Miraculously, there were butterflies on the painting and the whole picture seemed to come to life(变得生动起来).Then Ittleby said, “Hey, let’s make a sea of butterflies. Everyone, dip a finger into the paints(用手指蘸一下颜料), and make a butterfly on my painting.” Everyone was excited and left a fingerprint on Ittleby’s painting. A sea of colorful butterflies appeared. But only Hazel didn’t make one. “Do you want to add your fingerprint too?” Ittleby asked Hazel. Hazel thought about it, and then nodded. She dipped her finger into the yellow paint and gently pressed it onto Ittleby’s painting. She carefully added wings, trying her best not to(尽力不) mess Ittleby’s painting. She made a really beautiful butterfly with a broad smile. “It looks great,” said Ittleby. In fact, bad things happen, but good things happen, too. And sometimes, there are good things hiding where you don’t expect them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ittleby是个乐观的孩子，当事情变糟糕的时候，Ittleby总是说些好听的话，因此同学们都很喜欢他，但是新来的同学Hazel并不喜欢他。有一天下雨了，所以老师让同学们在室内课间休息，Hazel认为这是一件糟糕的事情，而且她认为坏事成三，所以她认为接下来还会发生不好的事情。在美术课上，同学Greta端着一盘颜料，结果摔倒了，颜料溅的到处都是，Hazel认为这是第二件坏事。接着同学Emma看到了Ittleby的画，觉得很漂亮，于是拿起来看了看，但是没有意识到自己手上有颜料，于是在Ittleby的画上沾上了指纹，Hazel认为这是第三件坏事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Ittleby没有生气，而是说：‘如果我加上翅膀，指纹看起来会像蝴蝶。’”可知，第一段可描写Ittleby在指纹的地方加上翅膀，整幅画都很生动，于是邀请其他同学也留下指纹，画了很多蝴蝶。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘你也想加上你的指纹吗？’ Ittleby问Hazel。”可知，第二段可描写Ittleby请Hazel也在自己的画上留下指纹，Hazel同意了，Ittleby把Hazel的指纹画成了一只漂亮的蝴蝶。 2.续写线索：将指纹加上翅膀，画成蝴蝶——邀请同学问留下指纹，画成很多蝴蝶——Ittleby请Hazel留下指纹——Hazel同意了，留下指纹——Ittleby将Hazel的指纹画成一只漂亮的蝴蝶 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①考虑：think about/consider ②发生：happen/take place 情绪类 ①激动的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] She carefully added wings, trying her best not to(尽力不) mess Ittleby’s painting.(运用了现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] And sometimes, there are good things hiding where you don’t expect them.
