We provide a creative setting for a hand on art and acting experience through classes and workshops.(我们的基地是一个由建筑师设计的美丽的工作室，以及我们在安布尔赛德海边的两个工作室。我们提供一个创造性的环境，通过课程和工作室来体验艺术和表演)”可知，学生们在安布尔赛德海边的工作室里能学到的是表演。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段第一句“For parents looking for the convenience of extracurricular opportunities for their children, they can have experience by bringing our classes to their local school with a choice of lunchtime and after-school classes.(对于为孩子寻找方便课外机会的家长来说，他们可以把我们的课程带到当地的学校，选择午餐时间和课后课程)”可知，学生可以在当地的学校上课。故选B项。 B “Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. Matters get more quizzical-or philosophical (哲学意义的), if you prefer — on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, “We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured. Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don’t say words. They don’t tell stories. They don’t get embarrassed, even when they’re caught eating something off the ground. Where to go from there? “Look at all these people, the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.” “I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth, the narrator concludes. I’m glad. I’d rather be like you than a mushroom-an appealing and inarguable understanding.” 4. What does the underlined word “quizzical” mean in the second paragraph? A. Definite. B. Consistent. C. Unusual. D. Ambiguous. 5. According to the passage, which of the following is most like humans? A. Hyenas. B. Tin cans. C. Mushrooms. D. Swimming pools. 6. How is the writer’s idea mainly developed in the passage? A. By describing in details. B. By making comparisons. C. By analyzing causes and effects. D. By presenting problems and solutions. 7. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An animal encyclopedia. B. A story entry. C. A philosophical textbook. D. A book review. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章简单介绍了一本书Like，书中作者将人与锡罐、游泳池、蘑菇和鬣狗等进行比较，揭示出作为“人”的我们，具有独有的特征。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. (这个相当直接的评论是安妮·巴罗斯写的《Like》的开篇。它建立了一种有点奇怪但实事求是的语气，一个小男孩向读者讲话。)”和下文““We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” (“我们一点也不像锡罐。我们的形状不像锡罐。我们不能像装罐头一样装番茄酱。如果你打开我们的盖子，不会有什么好事发生。我们一点也不像锡罐。”)”可知，书的开头一章，叙述方式有些不寻常，结合本句后面作者将人与锡罐比较，以此说明人的本性。所以推测本句意为，“在接下来的章节，事情变得更加不寻常”，由此可知，quizzical意为“不同寻常的”。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” (“我们一点也不像锡罐。我们的形状不像锡罐。我们不能像装罐头一样装番茄酱。如果你打开我们的盖子，不会有什么好事发生。我们一点也不像锡罐。”)”和第三段“Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. (就像next将人们与游泳池相匹配，“我们更像一个游泳池而不是一个锡罐。我们体内有水、化学物质和污垢。但不像游泳池，我们不会有人在里面溅水。”我们了解到，蘑菇与锡罐和游泳池的不同之处在于它是有生命的，而且还能生长和繁殖——这也是人类的特征！然而，蘑菇没有嘴和大脑。但是等等：鬣狗拥有所有这些。)”可知，文章将锡罐、游泳池、蘑菇和鬣狗与人类逐个比较。锡罐能盛东西，而人脑不能。人体与游泳池有着类似的内容，但人体内没有人在游泳。蘑菇是活的，更像人类，但没有嘴巴和大脑。鬣狗有嘴巴和大脑，最像人类。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段““We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” (“我们一点也不像锡罐。我们的形状不像锡罐。我们不能像装罐头一样装番茄酱。如果你打开我们的盖子，不会有什么好事发生。我们一点也不像锡罐。”)”和第三段“Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. (就像next将人们与游泳池相匹配，“我们更像一个游泳池而不是一个锡罐。我们体内有水、化学物质和污垢。但不像游泳池，我们不会有人在里面溅水。”我们了解到，蘑菇与锡罐和游泳池的不同之处在于它是有生命的，而且还能生长和繁殖——这也是人类的特征！然而，蘑菇没有嘴和大脑。但是等等：鬣狗拥有所有这些。)”可知，文章将锡罐、游泳池、蘑菇和鬣狗与人类进行比较，做比较是作者表达的主要方式。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段““Hello. You are you and I am I. We are people, also known as humans. This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. (“你好。你是你，我是我，我们是人，也被称为人类。这使我们与地球上的大多数生物不同。”这个相当直接的评论是安妮·巴罗斯写的《Like》的开篇。它建立了一种有点奇怪但实事求是的语气，一个小男孩向读者讲话。)”可知，本文是对一本书进行简要介绍和评述。故选D。 C If you’ve noticed you’re getting less while your bill almost stays the same, it’s not just you. “Shrinkflation” — reducing a product’s size or quantity while keeping its price stable — is showing up in shops around the world. As the global economy struggles with inflation (通货膨胀), rising material costs and higher human cost, consumers are bearing the increasing production prices. “Consumers are more likely to notice how their purchases are affecting their wallets than the amount of product lost when sizes decrease,” says Mark Stiving, the chief pricing educator at Impact Pricing. As a result, companies use shrinkflation to make consumers “less painful”. Yet even as shrinkflation comes with inflation, the problem doesn’t end after inflation does. Once the new sizes are on the shelf, they are likely to stay that way. “Shoppers don’t have a choice. They have to adapt themselves to the changes,” adds Stiving. There are rare exceptions, but companies generally take the opportunity to get more profits. For many companies, shrinkflation seems to be unavoidable. In food industry, for example, where customers are highly sensitive to price, lifting prices might make customers jump ship to another brand. But facing the continuous inflation, the companies have to do something to maintain their profits. Introducing small reduction in the size of their goods should enable them to improve profits while keeping their prices competitive. But once customers notice the change, they might feel fooled, leading to a loss of trust and confidence. Some grocers are using stickers to remind shoppers of shrinkflation, but still, it’s a tough hit to the bottom line — especially because the price of products generally doesn’t fall as inflation does. Consumers may need to examine both price and size sensibly as they shop, and make sure they don’t fall into the trap of that super size on the shelf. 8. Why does shrinkflation make consumers “less painful” according to Stiving? A. Shrinkflation reduces human cost. B. Shrinkflation raises purchasing power. C. Consumers become more aware of size. D. Consumers experience little increase in cost. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The concerns of shoppers. B. The interests of companies. C. The impact of shrinkflation. D. The phenomenon of inflation. 10. What is the author’s attitude to the shrinkflation in paragraph 4? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear. 11. What should consumers do according to the last paragraph? A. Draw a bottom line. B. Put warning stickers. C. Choose smaller packs. D. Make a conscious decision. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述一种经济学现象：缩水式通货膨胀，及其原因和影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Consumers are more likely to notice how their purchases are affecting their wallets than the amount of product lost when sizes decrease,’ says Mark Stiving, the chief pricing educator at Impact Pricing. As a result, companies use shrinkflation to make consumers ‘less painful’.(Impact pricing的首席定价教育专家Mark Stiving表示：‘当尺寸减小时，消费者更有可能注意到他们的购买对他们钱包的影响，而不是产品损失的数量。’因此，企业利用缩水式通胀让消费者‘不那么痛苦’)”可知，相比于商品尺寸的减少，消费者更关注价格的波动，因此，缩水式通货膨胀来使消费者成本几乎没有增加，从而“不那么痛苦”，故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段内容，结合前两句“Yet even as shrinkflation comes with inflation, the problem doesn’t end after inflation does. Once the new sizes are on the shelf, they are likely to stay that way.(然而，即使缩水式通胀伴随着通胀而来，问题也不会在通胀结束后才结束。一旦新尺码上市，它们很可能会一直保持这种状态)”可知，本段主要讲述缩水式通货膨胀的后续影响，即产品的尺寸一旦减少，后续可能很难再变回来，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For many companies, shrinkflation seems to be unavoidable. In food industry, for example, where customers are highly sensitive to price, lifting prices might make customers jump ship to another brand. But facing the continuous inflation, the companies have to do something to maintain their profits. Introducing small reduction in the size of their goods should enable them to improve profits while keeping their prices competitive. But once customers notice the change, they might feel fooled, leading to a loss of trust and confidence.(对许多公司来说，缩水式通胀似乎是不可避免的。例如，在消费者对价格高度敏感的食品行业，提高价格可能会让消费者跳槽到另一个品牌。但是面对持续的通货膨胀，公司不得不做些什么来维持他们的利润。把产品的尺寸缩小一点可以使他们在保持价格竞争力的同时提高利润。但是，一旦客户注意到这种变化，他们可能会觉得自己被愚弄了，从而导致信任和信心的丧失)”可知，作者在本段中提到迫于市场的诸多因素，对许多公司来说缩水式通货膨胀是无法避免的，这可以保证其公司在市场的竞争力。但消费者可能会感觉受到了欺骗，导致信任和信心的丧失。因此，作者对于缩水式通货膨胀的态度是客观的，既指出了其带来的问题，也指出了其对公司的好处，故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Consumers may need to examine both price and size sensibly as they shop, and make sure they don’t fall into the trap of that super size on the shelf.(消费者在购物时可能需要理智地检查价格和尺码，并确保自己不会落入货架上超大尺码的陷阱)”可知，本段提到消费者在购物时需要明智地考虑价格和尺寸，确保自己不会陷入价格陷阱。因此，消费者应该做出明智的决定，故选D。 D Thanks to in-depth reporting by The Wall Street Journal, we now know that Facebook has long been aware its product Instagram has harmful effects on the mental health of many adolescent users. Young girls, in particular, struggle with their body image thanks to a constant stream of photos and videos showing beautiful bodies that users don’t think they can attain. While the information the journal covered is essential and instructive, it does not tell the whole story. Deep down, this is not an Instagram problem; it’s a people problem. Understanding that distinction can make the difference between a failed attempt to contain a teen’s interest in an addictive app and successfully addressing the underlying problem leading to mental distress caused by Instagram. Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it. Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users. The anger, while understandable, is misplaced. While I’m reluctant to defend Facebook, I’m not sure it’s reasonable to blame the company for refusing to give data that would hurt its business. Have you ever binge-watched a Netflix series? I assure you it wasn’t a healthy endeavor. You were inactive, likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn’t go outside for fresh air. It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend. Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alerting us to how damaging an addictive product can be? While it’s reasonable to say Instagram makes esteem issues worse, it is almost impossible to believe it causes them in the first place. You create your own experiences on social media. For the most part, you choose which accounts to follow and engage. If you’re already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage (自损) — as many teens are — you will find accounts to obsess over. And this isn’t a new phenomenon. Before social media, there were similar issues fueling self-esteem issues. Whether the target be magazines, movies or television shows depicting difficult-to-attain bodies, there has been a relatively steady chorus of experts noting the damage new media could cause young viewers. Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause — one that’s independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media. It’s more worthwhile to address those underlying factors rather than to attack Facebook. 12. What does the author think of the criticisms against Instagram? A. They address the mental pain caused by Instagram. B. They are not directed at the fundamental problem. C. They are only based on the data released by Facebook. D. They are effective in changing teens’ interest in addictive apps. 13. Why is Netflix mentioned? A. To defend why Facebook is to blame. B. To show Netflix does more harm to teens. C. To suggest the critics’ remarks are not to the point. D. To compare the criticisms against it and Facebook. 14. Why is the Instagram problem essentially a “people problem”? A. People have a tendency to feel insecure online. B. People are keen on making up their self-profile. C. It is human nature to get addicted to social media. D. Users decide on their experiences on social media. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The fierce criticism faced by Facebook. B. The harmful impact of Instagram on teenagers. C. The alarming online habits of teenagers worldwide. D. The root of mental sufferings caused by Instagram. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇议论文。《华尔街日报》报道中，Instagram对许多青少年用户的心理健康产生有害影响。但在作者看来，这是其诱发用户精神紧张，放大了自身的自尊问题所致，本质上是人的问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it. Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users. The anger, while understandable, is misplaced.(批评人士很快就指责 Facebook搁置数据，不向要求提供数据的研究人员或学者提供数据。其他人批评这家社交媒体巨头没有利用这项研究为青少年用户创造更安全的体验。这种愤怒虽然可以理解，但却不恰当)”可推知，作者认为对Instagram的批评并没有指向根本问题。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While I’m reluctant to defend Facebook, I’m not sure it’s reasonable to blame the company for withholding data that would hurt its business.(虽然我不愿意为Facebook辩护，但我不确定指责该公司隐瞒可能损害其业务的数据是否合理)”及“Have you ever binge-watched a Netflix series? I assure you it wasn’t a healthy endeavor. You were in active, likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn’t go outside for fresh air. It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend. Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alerting us to how damaging an addictive product can be?(你曾经疯狂地看Netflix的电视剧吗?我向你保证这不是一个健康的尝试。你很活跃，可能没有做任何有成效的事情，漫无目的地吃零食，也不出去呼吸新鲜空气。整个周末盯着电视或笔记本电脑，客观上是一种有害的时间利用。作为回应，我们是否应该羞辱Netflix，因为它没有提醒我们这种令人上瘾的产品有多大的危害？)”可推知，Netflix被提及是为了表明我们受到网络的影响很大原因是自己产生的，不能完全怪罪于网络媒体，Instagram也一样，作者在此表明批评者的言论并没有指出问题。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“You create your own experiences on social media. For the most part, you choose which accounts to follow and engage. If you’re already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage (自损) — as many teens are — you will find accounts to obsess over. And this isn’t a new phenomenon.(你在社交媒体上创造自己的体验。在大多数情况下，你可以选择关注和参与哪些账户。如果你已经很容易受到不安全感和自我破坏的影响——就像许多青少年一样——你会找到一些让你着迷的账户。这并不是一个新现象)”可知，Instagram问题本质上是“人的问题”是因为用户在社交媒体上决定自己的体验，不是Instagram产生了这些问题。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Deep down，this is not an Instagram problem; it’s a people problem.(实际上，这不是Instagram 的问题；这是人的问题)”及最后一段“Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause — one that’s independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media.(自尊问题有一个潜在的原因，这个原因与社交媒体的使用无关。Instagram只是增强了这些感觉，因为它比旧的媒体形式提供了无限多的接触触发器的途径)”并结合全文内容可知，作者认为Instagram对于青少年用户产生心理影响，是其诱发精神紧张，放大自身的自尊问题所致。由此可知，文章主要论述了Instagram造成精神痛苦的根源。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mental health matters. Many of us will experience a mental health issue in our lifetime. One of the most common is stress.____16____ However, too much stress over a long period of time can affect our mood, leaving us feeling tired and anxious. Stress can also cause physical symptoms, such as headaches, tension, and aches. ____17____ In fact, sometimes these low moods happen for no reason. If you find that you’re feeling low for a long period of time and don’t feel like you’re enjoying your usual activities, you may be experiencing depression. Another common mental health problem is anxiety. Like stress, feeling anxious is a normal reaction to certain situations — such as taking a test, going to an interview, worrying about a loved one — but more severe anxiety can have a huge impact on daily life and is a long-term condition. ____18____ If you recognize any of the signs of a mental health issue, you should seek help from a professional. ____19____ There are also some things you can do to help yourself — talking to someone you trust, engaging in some exercise, spending time outside, getting more sleep — but it’s always best to have a chat with a doctor as well. There are some more serious mental health disorders too, and it is important that these are diagnosed (诊断) properly. ____20____ After seeking the right help and support, you are likely to feel happy and balanced again. A. Exercise can relieve depression, anxiety and stress. B. It is a natural reaction to feel under pressure or threat. C. Thinking positively is the key to lowering anxiety level. D. We all suffer from a low mood by events in our lives sometimes. E. There are plenty of options, from talking therapies (疗法) to medication. F. In these cases, better talk to your medical team about the treatment. G. Feeling anxious all the time makes it hard for you to relax or enjoy life. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些心理健康问题的机制和负面影响，并提供了合理应对的方法。 【16题详解】 根据前文“One of the most common is stress.（最常见的问题之一是压力）”和后文“However, too much stress over a long period of time can affect our mood, leaving us feeling tired and anxious.（然而，长时间过多的压力会影响我们的情绪，让我们感到疲倦和焦虑）”可知，前文引出压力这一心理健康问题，后文说明长时间的压力有负面影响，空处需承上启下，应该说明压力存在的合理性，从而和后文形成转折。B项“It is a natural reaction to feel under pressure or threat.（这是在（外界）压力或威胁下的自然反应）”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 空处位于段首，需能引起后文内容。根据后文“In fact, sometimes these low moods happen for no reason.（事实上，有时候这些情绪低落是没有原因的）”可知，本段讨论情绪低落这一问题。D项“We all suffer from a low mood by events in our lives sometimes.（有时我们都会因为生活中的事件而情绪低落）”符合语境，自然地引起后文对情绪低落的深入讨论，其中的“a low mood”和后文的“these low moods”呼应。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Like stress, feeling anxious is a normal reaction to certain situations — such as taking a test, going to an interview, worrying about a loved one — but more severe anxiety can have a huge impact on daily life and is a long-term condition.（像压力一样，感到焦虑是对某些情况的正常反应——比如参加考试、参加面试、担心所爱的人——但更严重的焦虑会对日常生活产生巨大影响，并且是一种长期的状况）”可知，本段讨论焦虑这一问题，说明严重的焦虑有负面影响，空处位于段尾，应该承接前文具体说明其负面影响。G项“Feeling anxious all the time makes it hard for you to relax or enjoy life.（一直感到焦虑会让你很难放松或享受生活）”符合语境。故选G。 【19题详解】 根据前文“If you recognize any of the signs of a mental health issue, you should seek help from a professional.（如果你意识到任何心理健康问题的迹象，你应该寻求专业人士的帮助）”可知，本段讨论如何应对心理健康问题，空处需承接前文，讨论专业人士会提供的解决方法。E项“There are plenty of options, from talking therapies (疗法) to medication.（有很多选择，从对话疗法到药物治疗）”符合语境，其中的“talking therapies (疗法) to medication”和前文的“a professional”语义相关。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据前文“There are some more serious mental health disorders too, and it is important that these are diagnosed (诊断) properly.（还有一些更严重的精神健康障碍，重要的是要正确诊断这些疾病）”可知，本段讨论如何应对更严重的精神健康障碍问题，空处会承接前文具体说明如何处理。F项“In these cases, better talk to your medical team about the treatment.（在这种情况下，最好和你的医疗团队谈谈治疗方法）”符合语境，可承上启下，其中的“these cases”指前文的“some more serious mental health disorders”。故选F。 第三部分：语言应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 For me, nothing is more satisfying than discovering hidden gems (美妙绝伦的事物) in secondhand shops and estate sales.

This makes us different from most of the things on Earth.” This fairly straightforward observation is the opening spread of Like, written by Annie Barrows. It establishes a somewhat odd yet matter-of-fact tone with a young boy addressing the reader. Matters get more quizzical-or philosophical (哲学意义的), if you prefer — on the following spread, which carefully thinks about the ways in which people are different from one specific thing on Earth, “We are not at all like tin cans. We are not shaped like tin cans. We cannot hold tomato sauce like tin cans. If you open up our lids, nothing good happens. We are not at all like tin cans.” The target audience will no doubt be amused, as was I, and perhaps reassured. Like next matches people with the swimming pools, “We are a little bit more like a swimming pool than a tin can. We have water and chemicals and dirt inside us. But unlike a swimming pool we don’t have people splashing around inside us.” Mushrooms, we learn, differ from tin cans and swimming pools by being alive, and by growing and reproducing-human traits, too! Mushrooms, however, don’t have mouths and brains. But wait: Hyenas have all that. They run around really fast, like we do... But hyenas don’t say words. They don’t tell stories. They don’t get embarrassed, even when they’re caught eating something off the ground. Where to go from there? “Look at all these people, the text exclaims over the illustration full of people of seemingly every size, shape, color, age and means of mobility. They are not exactly like us. But they are more like us than they are different.” “I am more like you than I am like most of the things on Earth, the narrator concludes. I’m glad. I’d rather be like you than a mushroom-an appealing and inarguable understanding.” 4. What does the underlined word “quizzical” mean in the second paragraph? A. Definite. B. Consistent. C. Unusual. D. Ambiguous. 5. According to the passage, which of the following is most like humans? A. Hyenas. B. Tin cans. C. Mushrooms. D. Swimming pools. 6. How is the writer’s idea mainly developed in the passage? A. By describing in details. B. By making comparisons. C. By analyzing causes and effects. D. By presenting problems and solutions. 7 Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An animal encyclopedia. B. A story entry. C. A philosophical textbook. D. A book review. C If you’ve noticed you’re getting less while your bill almost stays the same, it’s not just you. “Shrinkflation” — reducing a product’s size or quantity while keeping its price stable — is showing up in shops around the world. As the global economy struggles with inflation (通货膨胀), rising material costs and higher human cost, consumers are bearing the increasing production prices. “Consumers are more likely to notice how their purchases are affecting their wallets than the amount of product lost when sizes decrease,” says Mark Stiving, the chief pricing educator at Impact Pricing. As a result, companies use shrinkflation to make consumers “less painful”. Yet even as shrinkflation comes with inflation, the problem doesn’t end after inflation does. Once the new sizes are on the shelf, they are likely to stay that way. “Shoppers don’t have a choice. They have to adapt themselves to the changes,” adds Stiving. There are rare exceptions, but companies generally take the opportunity to get more profits. For many companies, shrinkflation seems to be unavoidable. In food industry, for example, where customers are highly sensitive to price, lifting prices might make customers jump ship to another brand. But facing the continuous inflation, the companies have to do something to maintain their profits. Introducing small reduction in the size of their goods should enable them to improve profits while keeping their prices competitive. But once customers notice the change, they might feel fooled, leading to a loss of trust and confidence. Some grocers are using stickers to remind shoppers of shrinkflation, but still, it’s a tough hit to the bottom line — especially because the price of products generally doesn’t fall as inflation does. Consumers may need to examine both price and size sensibly as they shop, and make sure they don’t fall into the trap of that super size on the shelf. 8. Why does shrinkflation make consumers “less painful” according to Stiving? A. Shrinkflation reduces human cost. B. Shrinkflation raises purchasing power. C. Consumers become more aware of size. D. Consumers experience little increase in cost. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The concerns of shoppers. B. The interests of companies. C. The impact of shrinkflation. D. The phenomenon of inflation. 10. What is the author’s attitude to the shrinkflation in paragraph 4? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Dismissive. D. Unclear. 11. What should consumers do according to the last paragraph? A. Draw a bottom line. B. Put warning stickers. C. Choose smaller packs. D. Make a conscious decision. D Thanks to in-depth reporting by The Wall Street Journal, we now know that Facebook has long been aware its product Instagram has harmful effects on the mental health of many adolescent users. Young girls, in particular, struggle with their body image thanks to a constant stream of photos and videos showing beautiful bodies that users don’t think they can attain. While the information the journal covered is essential and instructive, it does not tell the whole story. Deep down, this is not an Instagram problem; it’s a people problem. Understanding that distinction can make the difference between a failed attempt to contain a teen’s interest in an addictive app and successfully addressing the underlying problem leading to mental distress caused by Instagram. Critics were quick to shame Facebook for sitting on the data and not releasing it to researchers or academics who asked for it. Others criticize the social media giant for not using the research to create a safer experience for its teen users. The anger, while understandable, is misplaced. While I’m reluctant to defend Facebook, I’m not sure it’s reasonable to blame the company for refusing to give data that would hurt its business. Have you ever binge-watched a Netflix series? I assure you it wasn’t a healthy endeavor. You were inactive, likely did nothing productive, mindlessly snacked and didn’t go outside for fresh air. It is an objectively harmful use of time to stare at a TV or laptop for a full weekend. Should we respond by shaming Netflix for not alerting us to how damaging an addictive product can be? While it’s reasonable to say Instagram makes esteem issues worse, it is almost impossible to believe it causes them in the first place. You create your own experiences on social media. For the most part, you choose which accounts to follow and engage. If you’re already vulnerable to insecurities and self-sabotage (自损) — as many teens are — you will find accounts to obsess over. And this isn’t a new phenomenon. Before social media, there were similar issues fueling self-esteem issues. Whether the target be magazines, movies or television shows depicting difficult-to-attain bodies, there has been a relatively steady chorus of experts noting the damage new media could cause young viewers. Self-esteem issues have an underlying cause — one that’s independent of social media use. Instagram merely enhances those feelings because it provides infinitely more access to triggers than older forms of media. It’s more worthwhile to address those underlying factors rather than to attack Facebook. 12. What does the author think of the criticisms against Instagram? A. They address the mental pain caused by Instagram. B. They are not directed at the fundamental problem. C. They are only based on the data released by Facebook. D. They are effective in changing teens’ interest in addictive apps. 13. Why is Netflix mentioned? A. To defend why Facebook is to blame. B. To show Netflix does more harm to teens. C. To suggest the critics’ remarks are not to the point. D. To compare the criticisms against it and Facebook. 14. Why is the Instagram problem essentially a “people problem”? A. People have a tendency to feel insecure online. B. People are keen on making up their self-profile. C. It is human nature to get addicted to social media. D. Users decide on their experiences on social media. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The fierce criticism faced by Facebook. B. The harmful impact of Instagram on teenagers. C. The alarming online habits of teenagers worldwide. D. The root of mental sufferings caused by Instagram. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Mental health matters. Many of us will experience a mental health issue in our lifetime.

There are some more serious mental health disorders too, and it is important that these are diagnosed (诊断) properly. ____20____ After seeking the right help and support, you are likely to feel happy and balanced again. A. Exercise can relieve depression, anxiety and stress. B. It is a natural reaction to feel under pressure or threat. C. Thinking positively is the key to lowering anxiety level. D. We all suffer from a low mood by events in our lives sometimes. E. There are plenty of options, from talking therapies (疗法) to medication. F.
