Destination 1: Machu Picchu, Peru Nestled high in the Andes Mountains, Machu Picchu is an archaeological wonder that has mystified and attracted scholars and adventurers alike. This ancient Incan citadel, often referred to as the “Lost City of the Incas,” is accessible only by a strenuous hike or a train ride through breathtaking landscapes. The ruins are replete with intricately carved stone structures, terraced fields, and sacred temples. The site’s mysterious history and stunning natural setting make it a must-visit destination for those with a penchant for exploration. Destination 2: Santorini, Greece Renowned for its dramatic cliffs, cobalt-blue domes, and mesmerizing sunsets, Santorini is a paradise for aesthetes and romantics. The island’s unique volcanic landscape offers a visual feast of multicolored cliffsides and crystal-clear waters. Wander through the charming white-washed villages of Oia and Fira, and savor the local cuisine, which includes fresh seafood and delicious Mediterranean delicacies. The island’s luxurious resorts and spas provide the perfect respite after a day of exploring. Destination 3: Kyoto, Japan As the cultural heart of Japan, Kyoto is a city steeped in history and tradition. Home to numerous ancient temples, shrines, and gardens, Kyoto offers a glimpse into Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Visit the iconic Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), stroll through the serene Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, and experience a traditional tea ceremony. The city’s traditional crafts, such as silk weaving and pottery, are also a draw for tourists seeking a more immersive cultural experience. Destination 4: Prague, Czech Republic With its fairytale-like architecture, Prague is a city that seems to have stepped out of a storybook. The city’s Old Town Square is dominated by the Astronomical Clock, a medieval timepiece that is a marvel of engineering. Explore the narrow cobblestone streets and visit the many castles and palaces that dot the city. Prague’s vibrant nightlife and world-class cuisine make it a popular destination for travelers from around the world. 1. What makes Machu Picchu a must-visit destination? A. Its ancient lost city of the Incas. B. Its easy accessibility to all travellers. C. Its stone structures and sacred temples. D. Its unexplainable history and natural landscape. 2. What do Destination 2 and Destination 4 have in common? A. They are paradises for romantics. B. They provide delicious delicacies. C. They are dominated by engineering marvels. D. They offer a visual feast of crystal-clear waters. 3. If you’re interested in history you can choose to visit . A. Destination 1 and Destination 3 B. Destination 2 and Destination 3 C. Destination 2 and Destination 4 D. Destination 1 and Destination 2 B A few months ago, a friend gifted me a robot sweeper that’s programmed to move around a room and clean as it goes. When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and soak up (汲) data along with the dog hair and dust. But the instructions were easy, and I finally decided not to care. I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son. One day, I returned home and discovered that our front door had blown open and the robot rolled into the yard, trying to clean the flower beds. Even when its brushes were blocked with leaves, bugs and mud, its little wheels bravely kept turning. The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult. This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting. Maybe this will happen in the near future. 4. What was the author’s concern about the robot sweeper at first? A. Its after-sales service. B. Its working efficiency. C. The privacy of her family. D The readability of its instruction. 5. How did the author feel about the robot sweeper after using it? A. Enthusiastic. B. Regretful. C. Uncertain. D. Cautious. 6. What was the root cause of the accident happening to the robot sweeper? A. Its program went wrong. B. It lacked critical thinking. C. Its wheels were badly designed. D. It failed to work on rough surfaces. 7. What does the sixth paragraph mainly talk about concerning AI? A. The accident. B. The public’s thinking. C. Its appeal to the author. D. The author’s opinion. C The state of Maine is famous for its delicious wild blueberries. The blueberries grow well on barren mountaintops, in abandoned fields, along rural roadsides or where most other plants don’t. They are also decidedly native as they have been growing in this landscape for more than10,000 years. At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of sweetness into tiny purple package. They’re also harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) of solar panels stands a few feet above four hectares (10 acres) of the land. The electricity these generate powers a few hundred nearby homes. Under and around these panels are extending fields of the low, thick blueberry bushes. Solar panels generate electric power without sending out the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that fossil fuels release as they’re burned. Fixing solar panels on farms helps solve another major problem: finding the space to collect enough sunlight to produce enough supply of electricity. This concept is called “Agrivoltaics”. The word combines “agriculture” with “photovoltaics (光伏)”. Photovoltaic materials — such as solar panels — generate electric current from sunlight. Growing crops requires hard work — often generating only a low income. A grivoltaic projects can benefit farmers by giving them a second crop: electric power. Also, farmers can pick up some extra cash by renting their land to power companies that will fix their own solar panel son the site. At the University of Maine in Orono, Dr. Calderwood focuses on finding ways to grow better berries. Her work includes studying how the bushes can be planted to produce delicious berries despite the shade cast by the solar panels at Dickey’s farm. “Although the idea behind A grivoltaics has been around for decades, it’s really just exploded over the last few years. Around the world, farmers and solar companies are working together to combine farming with the production of electricity,” Calderwood says. 8. How is the second paragraph developed? A. By giving descriptions. B. By making predictions. C. By making comparisons. D. By offering suggestions. 9. How do the solar panels make a difference in generating electricity? A. They take up less space. B. They produce no pollution. C. They block out direct sunlight. D. They avoid the waste of electricity. 10. What is the main advantage of Agrivoltaic projects? A. Increased agricultural productivity. B. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. C. Additional source of income for farmers. D. Promotion of sustainable farming practices. 11. What can we learn about Agrivoltaic projects? A. They are a creative idea. B. They are in a growing trend. C. They are only useful to farmers. D. They are a traditional farming. D Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones. It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships. It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout. So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options. 12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more? A. The advertising cost. B. The improved service. C. The familiarity principle. D. The principle of the market. 13. We can learn from paragraph 2 that . A. Our preferences affect our decisions B. Familiarity tends to generate disrespect C. The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword D. There can be a mismatch between desires and actions 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles? A. Disapproving. B. Tolerant. C. Objective. D. Reserved. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Step Out of Your Familiarity Zone B. Spare a Thought for Your Preference C. Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone D. Give Priority to the Mere Exposure Effect 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。 Working from home in a small apartment is fine during the day. But when nighttime comes, it may be difficult to turn off work and get a good night’s sleep.___16___These kinds of apartments, with the living room, kitchen and sleeping area all in one room, are common in large cities. Here comes some advice gathered on how to work productively and sleep well in such an apartment. A good bed is extremely important At the beginning, a good bed is a must. Even better is a high-quality sleep sofa that can double as a bed and couch. Or, a Murphy bed. ____17____He came up with this idea in 1900 while living in his own studio apartment in California. Create a sleep area To separate your sleep area from the rest of the apartment, you can purchase a freestanding screen or room divider. And try your best to keep your sleep area strictly for sleeping. ____18____ If you use your bed during the daytime, you can do small tasks to keep daytime work and sleep separate. Lisa Strauss, a psychologist and expert in sleep disorders, suggests using one side of the bed for reading and the other for sleeping. Freshen the air. Lower the lights. For starters, you must make sure the air flow is good. An air purifier will work, if you cook and sleep in the same place. Also, be sure that computer, TV, and other electronic screens are turned off at night. ____19____ Keep things clean and organized One thing to avoid when it comes to studio living is leaving beds unmade. Why? ____20____ It will also add to a sense of crowdedness. At night, you would do well to put away electronics. Side tables with plugs and ports for electronics help you store devices and keep things organized and clean. A. It is named after William Murphy. B. However, that is not always possible. C. Studio apartments often do not have a lot of storage. D. Work and life can be even harder in studio apartments. E. People will have an impression that you are lazy and untidy. F. Their light can affect our internal clocks if they are at a short distance from bed. G. Using calming smells like lavender (薰衣草) at bedtime will set the tone for restful sleep. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) In 2022, Janet Kahn’s sister, Susan Kahn, was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier. The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch! It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless. I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 BACAB 6-10 ACBCA 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 CBBCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 万州二中高2023级高二上期中考试英语试题 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.

Even when its brushes were blocked with leaves, bugs and mud, its little wheels bravely kept turning. The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult. This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting. Maybe this will happen in the near future. 4. What was the author’s concern about the robot sweeper at first? A. Its after-sales service. B. Its working efficiency. C. The privacy of her family. D. The readability of its instruction. 5. How did the author feel about the robot sweeper after using it? A. Enthusiastic. B. Regretful. C. Uncertain. D. Cautious. 6. What was the root cause of the accident happening to the robot sweeper? A. Its program went wrong. B. It lacked critical thinking. C. Its wheels were badly designed. D. It failed to work on rough surfaces. 7. What does the sixth paragraph mainly talk about concerning AI? A. The accident. B. The public’s thinking. C. Its appeal to the author. D. The author’s opinion. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过个人经历，说明了扫地机器人的好处和弊端，并阐了自己的期待。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“When the box arrived, I was afraid the device would detect me and soak up (汲) data along with the dog hair and dust. (当盒子到达时，我担心这个设备会检测到我，并随着狗毛和灰尘吸收数据。)”可知，起初，作者对扫地机器人的担忧是怕它侵犯她家人的隐私。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“I powered up the sweeper, watched it leave its docking station to work, and quickly fell in love with my newly shiny floors. I kept shooting its working videos. “I think you’re giving more attention to it than to us,” joked my son. (我给扫地机充上了电，看着它离开坞站开始工作，很快就爱上了我新铺的闪闪发光的地板。我一直在拍摄它的工作视频。“我觉得你把更多的注意力放在它身上，而不是我们身上，”我儿子开玩笑说。)”可知，作者使用扫地人后对扫地机器人充满热情。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段“The robot acted properly as it was programmed to clean “dirty” things. In a kitchen, dirt can be garden debris (碎片) such as leaves and mud. In a garden, this kind of dirt does not need to be removed. The context is important. The problem for robots is that reading this context is difficult. (这个机器人行为是正确的，因为它被编程来清理“脏”的东西。在厨房里，污垢可以是花园的碎片，比如树叶和泥土。在花园里，这种污垢不需要清除。背景很重要。机器人面临的问题是，阅读上下文是很困难的。)”可知，发生事故的根本原因是机器人缺乏批判性思维，故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第六段“This accident inspired me to think more about AI (artificial intelligence). As far as I am concerned, AI is simply well trained and reproduces what it has learned. And it is undeniable that robots are increasingly being given powerful intelligence. Some experts even predict that we will soon see not only AI-enabled robots designed to solve problems according to their instructions, but also those with the ability to judge how they should respond when they are in a different setting. (这次事故激发了我对AI（人工智能）的更多思考。就我而言，人工智能只是训练有素，并复制了它所学到的东西。不可否认的是，越来越多的机器人被赋予强大的智能。一些专家甚至预测，我们很快就会看到不仅能够根据指令解决问题的人工智能机器人，而且还能在不同的环境中判断自己应该如何应对。)”可知，关于人工智能，第六段主要讲作者的观点。故选D。 C The state of Maine is famous for its delicious wild blueberries. The blueberries grow well on barren mountaintops, in abandoned fields, along rural roadsides or where most other plants don’t. They are also decidedly native as they have been growing in this landscape for more than10,000 years. At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of sweetness into tiny purple package. They’re also harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) of solar panels stands a few feet above four hectares (10 acres) of the land. The electricity these generate powers a few hundred nearby homes. Under and around these panels are extending fields of the low, thick blueberry bushes. Solar panels generate electric power without sending out the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that fossil fuels release as they’re burned. Fixing solar panels on farms helps solve another major problem: finding the space to collect enough sunlight to produce enough supply of electricity. This concept is called “Agrivoltaics”. The word combines “agriculture” with “photovoltaics (光伏)”. Photovoltaic materials — such as solar panels — generate electric current from sunlight. Growing crops requires hard work — often generating only a low income. A grivoltaic projects can benefit farmers by giving them a second crop: electric power. Also, farmers can pick up some extra cash by renting their land to power companies that will fix their own solar panel son the site. At the University of Maine in Orono, Dr. Calderwood focuses on finding ways to grow better berries. Her work includes studying how the bushes can be planted to produce delicious berries despite the shade cast by the solar panels at Dickey’s farm. “Although the idea behind A grivoltaics has been around for decades, it’s really just exploded over the last few years. Around the world, farmers and solar companies are working together to combine farming with the production of electricity,” Calderwood says. 8. How is the second paragraph developed? A By giving descriptions. B. By making predictions. C. By making comparisons. D. By offering suggestions. 9. How do the solar panels make a difference in generating electricity? A. They take up less space. B. They produce no pollution. C. They block out direct sunlight. D. They avoid the waste of electricity. 10. What is the main advantage of Agrivoltaic projects? A. Increased agricultural productivity. B. Reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. C. Additional source of income for farmers. D. Promotion of sustainable farming practices. 11. What can we learn about Agrivoltaic projects? A. They are a creative idea. B. They are in a growing trend. C. They are only useful to farmers. D. They are a traditional farming. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以美国缅因州的蓝莓种植业为例，介绍了“农业光伏”这一概念。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At David Dickey’s small farm, farmers harvest blueberries, packing a burst of sweetness into tiny purple package. They’re also harvesting sunshine. A grid (格子) of solar panels stands a few feet above four hectares (10 acres) of the land. The electricity these generate powers a few hundred nearby homes. Under and around these panels are extending fields of the low, thick blueberry bushes.(在大卫·迪基的小农场里，农民们收割蓝莓，用紫色的小包装包装出阵阵甜味。他们也在收获阳光。太阳能电池板网在4公顷（10英亩）土地上几英尺高的地方竖立着。这些发电站产生的电力可供附近几百户家庭使用。在这些嵌板的下面和周围，是一片又矮又厚的蓝莓灌木丛)”可知，第二段是通过进行具体的描述展开的。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Solar panels generate electric power without sending out the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that fossil fuels release as they’re burned.(太阳能电池板发电时不会像化石燃料燃烧时那样释放二氧化碳和其他温室气体)”可知，太阳能电池板发电不会产生污染。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Agrivoltaic projects can benefit farmers by giving them a second crop: electric power. Also, farmers can pick up some extra cash by renting their land to power companies that will fix their own solar panel son the site.(光伏发电项目可以给农民带来第二种作物：电力。此外，农民还可以通过把土地租给电力公司来获得一些额外的现金，电力公司将在现场安装他们自己的太阳能电池板)”可知，“农业光伏”项目使农民有了额外的收入来源。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Although the idea behind Agrivoltaics has been around for decades, it’s really just exploded over the last few years.(“农业光伏”背后的理念已经存在了几十年，在过去几年才真正盛行)”可知，“农业光伏”正处于一个不断增长的趋势。故选B项。 D Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险) companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones. It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships. It’s easy to paint the familiarity principle as an enemy or something to battle as if it is something that holds us back from living our dreams. But this attitude might be overwhelming because it tends to encourage us toward big-picture thinking. Where we imagine that change requires a quite dramatic swing that we don’t feel ready for. Some articles suggest the solution to familiarity frustration (沮丧) is complete exposure to novelty. While this can appear effective in the short term, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout. So what if we can work with the familiarity principle instead? Familiarity is something we can learn to play with and enjoy. It is a setting for creativity and a pathway to expansion. We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options. 12. What allows insurance companies to charge old customers more? A. The advertising cost. B. The improved service. C. The familiarity principle. D. The principle of the market. 13. We can learn from paragraph 2 that . A. Our preferences affect our decisions B. Familiarity tends to generate disrespect C. The familiarity principle is a double-edged sword D. There can be a mismatch between desires and actions 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the solution in some articles? A Disapproving. B. Tolerant. C. Objective. D. Reserved. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Step Out of Your Familiarity Zone B. Spare a Thought for Your Preference C. Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone D. Give Priority to the Mere Exposure Effect 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，并提出了一种平衡的观点来看待这个原则，而不是将其视为阻碍，作者建议我们可以通过逐步扩展熟悉区域来利用这一原则来促进创造性和成长。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be tiring. So unless we have a terrible experience, we are likely to buy from companies we’ve got used to. That is why companies spend so much money on advertising and marketing and why insurance (保险)companies openly charge existing customers more than new ones.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。因此，除非我们有糟糕的经历，否则我们很可能会从我们已经习惯的公司购买股票。这就是为什么公司在广告和营销上花那么多钱，为什么保险公司公开向现有客户收取比新客户更高的费用。)”可知，熟悉原则让保险公司向老客户收取更多费用。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s not the case that we only desire things we already know. Some studies suggest when invited to share our preferences, we sometimes see less familiar options as more desirable. But when acting on that preference, we fall back to what we know. This might explain why sometimes the things we want and the things we do don’t quite match up. We might even return to companies that treated us poorly in the past or stay in bad relationships.(这并不是说我们只想要已知的东西。一些研究表明，当被邀请分享我们的偏好时，我们有时会认为不太熟悉的选择更可取。但当我们按照这种偏好行事时，我们又回到了我们所知道的。这也许可以解释为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配。我们甚至可能回到过去对我们不好的公司，或者保持糟糕的关系。)”可知，本段解释了为什么有时候我们想要的和我们做的并不完全匹配，也就是说有时候我们的欲望和行动可能不匹配。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While this can appear effective in the short run, we may only end up replacing one problem with another. It also risks overwhelm and burnout.(虽然这在短期内看起来是有效的，但我们最终可能只是用一个问题代替另一个问题。它也有让人不堪重负和精疲力竭的风险。)”可知，这段话表明作者对文章中提出的解决方案持反对态度，认为这种解决方案可能只是暂时有效，而且可能带来新的问题和风险。因此，作者的态度是反对的。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Studies have shown the mere exposure effect, also referred to as the familiarity principle, inspires our decisions. It is a helpful psychological mechanism that helps us sustain our energy and focus our attention on other things. Getting used to new things takes effort and it can be exhausting.(研究表明，单纯的暴露效应，也被称为熟悉原则，会激发我们的决定。这是一种有益的心理机制，可以帮助我们保持精力充沛，并将注意力集中在其他事情上。习惯新事物需要努力，而且可能会让人筋疲力尽。)”以及最后一段“We can broaden the zone of familiarity bit by bit. If we think of familiarity as something that can expand, we can consider changing the conditions in and around our lives to make more space for our preferences to take root and grow gently. From here, we will start to make decisions, drawing from an ever-deepening pool of valuable options.(我们可以一点一点地扩大熟悉的范围。如果我们认为熟悉是一种可以扩展的东西，我们可以考虑改变我们生活中的环境，为我们的喜好提供更多的空间，让它生根发芽。从这里开始，我们将从越来越多的有价值的选择中做出决定。)”可知，文章主要讨论了熟悉性原则对我们决策的影响，以及如何利用这一原则进行创新和拓展。文章强调了我们可以逐步扩大熟悉的范围，通过改变生活中的条件，为我们的偏好提供更多的空间，使其能够生根并温和地成长。因此，选项C“Gently Expand Your Familiarity Zone(慢慢扩大你的熟悉范围)”最能概括文章的主题。故选C。 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。 Working from home in a small apartment is fine during the day. But when nighttime comes, it may be difficult to turn off work and get a good night’s sleep.___16___These kinds of apartments, with the living room, kitchen and sleeping area all in one room, are common in large cities. Here comes some advice gathered on how to work productively and sleep well in such an apartment. A good bed is extremely important At the beginning, a good bed is a must. Even better is a high-quality sleep sofa that can double as a bed and couch. Or, a Murphy bed. ____17____He came up with this idea in 1900 while living in his own studio apartment in California. Create a sleep area To separate your sleep area from the rest of the apartment, you can purchase a freestanding screen or room divider. And try your best to keep your sleep area strictly for sleeping. ____18____ If you use your bed during the daytime, you can do small tasks to keep daytime work and sleep separate. Lisa Strauss, a psychologist and expert in sleep disorders, suggests using one side of the bed for reading and the other for sleeping. Freshen the air. Lower the lights. For starters, you must make sure the air flow is good. An air purifier will work, if you cook and sleep in the same place. Also, be sure that computer, TV, and other electronic screens are turned off at night. ____19____ Keep things clean and organized One thing to avoid when it comes to studio living is leaving beds unmade. Why? ____20____ It will also add to a sense of crowdedness. At night, you would do well to put away electronics. Side tables with plugs and ports for electronics help you store devices and keep things organized and clean. A. It is named after William Murphy. B. However, that is not always possible. C. Studio apartments often do not have a lot of storage. D. Work and life can be even harder in studio apartments. E. People will have an impression that you are lazy and untidy. F.

I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier. The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch! It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless. I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand. The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个风雪交加的夜晚遇到车辆故障，随后被一位陌生司机无私帮助的故事，展现了人与人之间的温情与善意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“皮卡终于停了下来，司机走了下来”以及第二段首句内容“司机抽回手，拒绝收钱。”可知，第一段可描写皮卡车司机下车后帮助作者装好了备用轮胎，作者很感动，想给钱对方表示感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“司机抽回手，拒绝收钱。”可知，第二段可描写司机拒绝接受钱，作者非常感动，常常想起这位好心人。 2.续写线索：司机询问情况——作者解释——司机帮忙——表示感谢——司机拒绝——非常感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：respond/reply ②抓住：grab/grasp ③努力做某事：try to do sth /make an effort to do sth 情绪类 ①感动的：touched/moved ②震惊的：shocked/stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.（运用了even though引导的状语从句） 听力答案：1-5 BACAB 6-10 ACBCA 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 CBBCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
