Cycling felt like a celebration of dynamic energy, of blood and bone. A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education. They told me I was fragile (脆弱的), and so I became fragile. I was in middle school then. It felt as if my body had been taken away from me. They put me in a combination swing- dance-and-painting-class instead. But the doctors never said no cycling, and for a brief moment in central Texas, biking became more popular than football, which saved my social life. I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again. As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets. There was a frivolity (轻松感) to the night ride, too, a kind of frivolity I hadn’t felt past years. I’d spent so much time sitting at a desk, sitting in bed, sitting on a sofa. My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again. 4. What made the author have to choose the night ride? A. Doctors’ advice. B. Poor health. C. Heavy schoolwork. D. Cycling’s popularity. 5. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The author’s energy got restored. B. The author’s figure got reshaped. C. The author’s body became flexible. D. The author’s mind became strong. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The changes of the author’s life. B. The difficulties in biking at night. C. The reasons for enjoying the night ride. D. The doubts about the author’s social life. 7 What does the author want to convey by mentioning the past in the last paragraph? A. Life is about going with the flow. B. The past is full of endless regrets. C. Living for the moment is necessary. D. Learning from the past is invaluable. C The fast autonomous logging machine advanced down a Swedish forest path and scanned for piled logs to transport. It then lifted them up and loaded them onto its trailer. A new study of the truck-size robot suggests it could help forest workers with at least some deadly jobs. “It’s the first trial for us to see that the machine we built is perhaps capable of doing what we were dreaming it could do,” says Pedro La Hera, a roboticist and lead author of the study. Traditional logging jobs are often requiring operators to multitask and bear nearly constant vibration (振动) while operating logging vehicles. Tired foresters don’t always pay attention to other plants in the area, thus damaging the ecosystems around them. Logging is also dangerous; in the U. S., it has one of the highest death rates of any industry. Roboticists, software engineers and forestry scholars in Sweden set out to automate some logging tasks. They used GPS to set a path in a clear-cut area and equipped the vehicle with a computer vision system to help it identify, pick up and release cut logs. The predetermined task sequence (序列) demonstrates how, in a controlled environment, a machine with little to no human oversight could operate. “We have problems getting help working in the woods,” says Thomas Douglass, a logger in Guilford, Maine, “So it’s definitely an advancement.” For now these vehicles’ use may be limited to Sweden, where nearly all paths in forests are well identified, and satellites provide information on logged areas. Loggers in the U. S., in contrast, harvest trees both in plantations and in natural stands where self-piloted machinery would face more challenges. Still, the research highlights aspects of autonomous machinery that are worth developing further, says Dalia Abbas, a forester who has investigated the effects of logging operations in environmentally sensitive areas. Eventually, Abbas says, she “would definitely hope that it takes into account the fuller range of where it’s operating, whether it carries wildlife, other contaminants (污染物) or insects that come with the logs to avoid any harm, and its sensitivity to the terrain (地形).” 8. Which of the following best describes the traditional logging jobs? A. Demanding and risky. B. Tiring but rewarding. C. Profitable but dangerous. D. Promising and creative. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Where the logging machinery works best. B. What challenges the logging machinery faces. C. How the logging machinery achieves automation. D. Why GPS technology is used in the logging process. 10. Why is the use of automated logging vehicles restricted to Sweden? A. Its loggers are well equipped. B. Its forests are fully monitored. C. Its roads are specially designed. D. Its logged areas are easily accessible. 11. What is a future consideration for developing the logging machine? A. Its capacity of loading logs. B. Its impact on the ecosystem. C. The replacement of human labor. D. The convenience of its operation. D Imagine journeying down the highway when you notice your fuel tank running low. Your GPS indicates 10 gas stations. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road? Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand? How do you decide when to explore further and when to decide on a choice? As a fascinating recent Big Think article explains in detail, no matter what choice you’ re making, mathematicians claim the 37 percent rule applies. Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. This rule gives you the highest probability of making the superior choice. Applying this precise rule will simplify messy reality. If you’ve given yourself a month to hunt for a most comfortable apartment, the 37 percent rule suggests you spend the first third or so of that surveying the market and making no decisions. If you’re hiring an assistant and plan to interview 10 candidates, let the first three go by. Then choose the next person who beats that first bunch. What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across? Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering “What if?” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way. But even if it’s unwise to blindly follow the 37 percent rule in every instance, that doesn’t make it unhelpful. Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions. 12. What does the underlined phrase “the bird in hand” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. A sweeter bargain ahead. B. The first GPS recommendation. C. The previous cheaper gas station. D. A more suitable route on the journey. 13. Which of the following is an example of the 37 percent rule? A. Choosing the 1st from 100. B. Choosing the 36th from 100. C. Choosing the 37th from 100. D. Choosing the 38th from 100. 14. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4? A. To offer a reminder. B. To give an example. C. To prove a conclusion. D. To make an assumption. 15. How does the 37 percent rule benefit us? A. It boosts our self-confidence. B. It enhances our ability to analyze data. C. It strengthens our links with the society. D. It improves our decision-making efficiency. 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。 Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them. ____16____ But in fact, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language. This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out? Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. ____17____ Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’ re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as“just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state? Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. ____18____ The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly, but many remember the one that went through his legs. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. ____19____ ____20____ When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. A. The smell of a bad gift can delay. B. However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. C. Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts. D. There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. E. Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance. F. Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. G. Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. 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） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Scaring my little brother, Daniel, was so funny when we were little.

She slipped into her grandfather’s attic (阁楼) at one time and found a kite in the corner. It was made by his grandfather when he was a child, and he claimed it belonged to Paula. One day, the wind whispered promises of a good flying day. Paula could hardly contain her excitement when grandfather agreed to fly the kite with her. She grabbed the kite and dashed towards the open field nearby, her heart pounding with anticipation. However, as soon as she started running, the kite kept getting tangled (缠绕) up in its own string! She tried pulling it apart with no luck. “This isn’t how I imagined this would go,” she said to herself. Then her grandfather noticed how upset Paula was feeling and he stepped in to help. He showed her how to hold onto the handle while he worked on untying the whole string. “Don’t worry, Paula,” he said, “Flying kites can be tricky sometimes, but it’s also about learning and having fun.” Encouraged by her grandfather’s words, Paula decided to keep trying again. At first, it didn’t seem like things were getting any better—every time she threw the kite into the air, it would just drop back down onto the ground. Paula tried again and again, feeling much more confident. She carefully held onto the handle and threw her kite into the air… and this time it flew! The string slid through her fingers smoothly now! From that day on, all activities gave way to kite flying. For Paula, days spent flying kites was not just about the joy of flying, but also about the stories told by the circling kite. She felt each circle, each dive, each gust (一阵) of wind carry a new tale. Each story was unique, much like the kite itself. Paula would listen attentively, her imagination taking flight. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, a gust of wind took the kite higher than ever before. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Failing to find the kite, Paula and her grandfather decided to make a new one. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 BABBA 6-10 BABCB 11-15 ACBAB 16-20 CCCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 试卷类型：A 高三阶段性调研监测考试 英语试题 2024.11 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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.

Cycling felt like a celebration of dynamic energy, of blood and bone. A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education. They told me I was fragile (脆弱的), and so I became fragile. I was in middle school then. It felt as if my body had been taken away from me. They put me in a combination swing- dance-and-painting-class instead. But the doctors never said no cycling, and for a brief moment in central Texas, biking became more popular than football, which saved my social life. I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again. As time wore on, I developed an affection for the night ride. Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets. There was a frivolity (轻松感) to the night ride, too, a kind of frivolity I hadn’t felt past years. I’d spent so much time sitting at a desk, sitting in bed, sitting on a sofa. My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again. 4. What made the author have to choose the night ride? A. Doctors’ advice. B. Poor health. C. Heavy schoolwork. D. Cycling’s popularity. 5. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The author’s energy got restored. B. The author’s figure got reshaped. C. The author’s body became flexible. D. The author’s mind became strong. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The changes of the author’s life. B. The difficulties in biking at night. C. The reasons for enjoying the night ride. D. The doubts about the author’s social life. 7. What does the author want to convey by mentioning the past in the last paragraph? A. Life is about going with the flow. B. The past is full of endless regrets. C. Living for the moment is necessary. D. Learning from the past is invaluable. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了作者骑夜行车得到的快乐和身体的康复。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A reminder that my body was still healthy and functioning despite the two heart operations I had as a kid, which took me out of sports entirely. I remember the doctor’s orders: no football, no physical education.(这提醒我，尽管我小时候做过两次心脏手术，但我的身体仍然健康，功能正常，这让我完全退出了体育运动。我记得医生的嘱咐：不准踢足球，不准上体育课)”根据第二段“They told me I was fragile (脆弱的)(他们告诉我我脆弱)”以及“But the doctors never said no cycling(但医生从来没有说不允许骑自行车)”可知，身体不好使作者不得不选择夜间骑车。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段中的“I still believe that the speed, the wind and the blood in the ears on a silent street can do that to my body—bring it back to life once again.(我仍旧相信在宁静的街道上，那种速度、风声和耳边的血流声能让我的身体that——再次焕发生机）”可知，作者的身体再次焕发生机，所以that指代的是作者的能量恢复。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Below the whoosh (呼啸声) of the wind, I listened for my heart, then the rhythm of my tires over sidewalk. The pain of hard physical effort would pale, not to mention the wind buffeting my face. The rough road constantly told me that there was a road beneath my tires and the possibility of travel. The stress on both the body and the bike made real what I’d suspected all along: although removed from my family, my friends, my former life, I still existed in these streets.(在风的呼啸声下，我倾听自己的心声，然后是轮胎在人行道上的节奏。艰苦锻炼的疼痛会显得苍白，更不用说风吹得我脸上生疼。崎岖的道路不断提醒我，在我轮胎下有一条路，有旅行的可能。身体和自行车的压力让我的怀疑变得真实：尽管与家人、朋友、过去的生活隔离开来，我仍然存在于这些街道上)”可知，本段主要讲的是作者享受夜骑的原因。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“My days were defined by constant anxiety and fear, and the world felt like a thing that happened to me, not something I could participate in. But during the night ride, I paid attention only to the moment. If I didn’t, I’d hit the pothole (坑洼) in the road. So by necessity, I became present, and I felt present, which is to say everything started to feel fun again.(我的日子一直被焦虑和恐惧所定义，世界对于我来说就像一件发生在我身上的事情，而不是我可以参与其中的事情。但在夜骑期间，我只专注于当下。因为如果不专注，我会撞到路上的坑洼。所以，我必然变得专注于眼前并感受到当下的存在，那就是所有事情又开始变得有趣)”可推知，作者提到过去主要传达了活在当下的重要性。故选C。 C The fast autonomous logging machine advanced down a Swedish forest path and scanned for piled logs to transport. It then lifted them up and loaded them onto its trailer. A new study of the truck-size robot suggests it could help forest workers with at least some deadly jobs. “It’s the first trial for us to see that the machine we built is perhaps capable of doing what we were dreaming it could do,” says Pedro La Hera, a roboticist and lead author of the study. Traditional logging jobs are often requiring operators to multitask and bear nearly constant vibration (振动) while operating logging vehicles. Tired foresters don’t always pay attention to other plants in the area, thus damaging the ecosystems around them. Logging is also dangerous; in the U. S., it has one of the highest death rates of any industry. Roboticists, software engineers and forestry scholars in Sweden set out to automate some logging tasks. They used GPS to set a path in a clear-cut area and equipped the vehicle with a computer vision system to help it identify, pick up and release cut logs. The predetermined task sequence (序列) demonstrates how, in a controlled environment, a machine with little to no human oversight could operate. “We have problems getting help working in the woods,” says Thomas Douglass, a logger in Guilford, Maine, “So it’s definitely an advancement.” For now these vehicles’ use may be limited to Sweden, where nearly all paths in forests are well identified, and satellites provide information on logged areas. Loggers in the U. S., in contrast, harvest trees both in plantations and in natural stands where self-piloted machinery would face more challenges. Still, the research highlights aspects of autonomous machinery that are worth developing further, says Dalia Abbas, a forester who has investigated the effects of logging operations in environmentally sensitive areas. Eventually, Abbas says, she “would definitely hope that it takes into account the fuller range of where it’s operating, whether it carries wildlife, other contaminants (污染物) or insects that come with the logs to avoid any harm, and its sensitivity to the terrain (地形).” 8. Which of the following best describes the traditional logging jobs? A. Demanding and risky. B. Tiring but rewarding. C. Profitable but dangerous. D. Promising and creative. 9 What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. Where the logging machinery works best. B. What challenges the logging machinery faces. C. How the logging machinery achieves automation. D. Why GPS technology is used in the logging process. 10. Why is the use of automated logging vehicles restricted to Sweden? A. Its loggers are well equipped. B. Its forests are fully monitored. C. Its roads are specially designed. D. Its logged areas are easily accessible. 11. What is a future consideration for developing the logging machine? A. Its capacity of loading logs. B. Its impact on the ecosystem. C. The replacement of human labor. D. The convenience of its operation. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了一种自主伐木机器在瑞典森林中的应用与研究，探讨了其可能的挑战和未来发展方向。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Traditional logging jobs are often requiring operators to multitask and bear nearly constant vibration (振动) while operating logging vehicles. Tired foresters don’t always pay attention to other plants in the area, thus damaging the ecosystems around them. Logging is also dangerous; in the U. S., it has one of the highest death rates of any industry.(传统的伐木作业通常要求作业人员在操作测井车辆时进行多任务作业，并承受几乎恒定的振动。疲惫的护林员并不总是关注该地区的其他植物，从而破坏了他们周围的生态系统。伐木也很危险；在美国，它是所有行业中死亡率最高的行业之一)”可知，传统的伐木工作要求高、风险大。故选A项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Roboticists, software engineers and forestry scholars in Sweden set out to automate some logging tasks. They used GPS to set a path in a clear-cut area and equipped the vehicle with a computer vision system to help it identify, pick up and release cut logs. The predetermined task sequence (序列) demonstrates how, in a controlled environment, a machine with little to no human oversight could operate.(瑞典的机器人专家、软件工程师和林业学者开始着手将一些伐木任务自动化。他们利用全球定位系统（GPS）在一片空旷的区域设置了一条路径，并为车辆配备了计算机视觉系统，以帮助它识别、拾取和释放被砍伐的原木。预先确定的任务顺序演示了在受控环境下，机器如何在几乎没有人为监督的情况下运行)”可知，第三段主要讲述了伐木机器如何实现自动化。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“For now these vehicles’ use may be limited to Sweden, where nearly all paths in forests are well identified, and satellites provide information on logged areas.(目前这些车辆的使用可能仅限于瑞典，因为那里几乎所有的森林小路都已明确标识，卫星提供伐木区域的信息)”可知，动采伐车辆的使用仅限于瑞典是因为瑞典的伐木区域容易获得可用信息。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Still, the research highlights aspects of autonomous machinery that are worth developing further, says Dalia Abbas, a forester who has investigated the effects of logging operations in environmentally sensitive areas. Eventually, Abbas says, she “would definitely hope that it takes into account the fuller range of where it’s operating, whether it carries wildlife, other contaminants (污染物) or insects that come with the logs to avoid any harm, and its sensitivity to the terrain (地形).(尽管如此，这项研究强调了自主机器的一些值得进一步开发的方面，研究森林采伐作业对环境敏感地区影响的森林达莉亚·阿巴斯说。阿巴斯说，她“肯定希望它能考虑到它在哪里更全面地运作，是否携带野生动物、其他污染物或原木附带的昆虫以避免任何伤害，以及它对地形的敏感性)”可知，未来考虑的是其对生态系统的影响。故选B项。 D Imagine journeying down the highway when you notice your fuel tank running low. Your GPS indicates 10 gas stations. Naturally, you want the cheapest option. You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road? Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand? How do you decide when to explore further and when to decide on a choice? As a fascinating recent Big Think article explains in detail, no matter what choice you’ re making, mathematicians claim the 37 percent rule applies. Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. This rule gives you the highest probability of making the superior choice. Applying this precise rule will simplify messy reality. If you’ve given yourself a month to hunt for a most comfortable apartment, the 37 percent rule suggests you spend the first third or so of that surveying the market and making no decisions. If you’re hiring an assistant and plan to interview 10 candidates, let the first three go by. Then choose the next person who beats that first bunch. What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across? Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering, “What if?” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way. But even if it’s unwise to blindly follow the 37 percent rule in every instance, that doesn’t make it unhelpful. Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions. 12. What does the underlined phrase “the bird in hand” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. A sweeter bargain ahead. B. The first GPS recommendation. C. The previous cheaper gas station. D. A more suitable route on the journey. 13. Which of the following is an example of the 37 percent rule? A. Choosing the 1st from 100. B. Choosing the 36th from 100. C. Choosing the 37th from 100. D. Choosing the 38th from 100. 14. What is the writing purpose of paragraph 4? A. To offer a reminder. B. To give an example. C. To prove a conclusion. D. To make an assumption. 15. How does the 37 percent rule benefit us? A. It boosts our self-confidence. B. It enhances our ability to analyze data. C. It strengthens our links with the society. D. It improves our decision-making efficiency. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕数学家提出的“37%规则”在决策过程中的应用、局限及益处。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中“You pass the first handful and observe their prices before approaching one with a seemingly good deal. Do you stop, without knowing how sweet the bargains could get up the road? Or do you continue exploring and risk regret for rejecting the bird in hand? (你路过第一批商品，观察它们的价格，然后接近一个看似很划算的商品。你会在不知道前面可能会有更划算的交易的情况下停下来吗？还是你会继续探索，冒着因拒绝the bird in hand而后悔的风险呢？)”可知，这里指的就是已经路过且看起来价格还可以的那些加油站。由此可知，划线词组the bird in hand指的是之前遇到的相对较便宜的加油站。故填C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Spend the first 37 percent of your decision-making process gathering information and committing to nothing. After that, choose the next option that comes along that’s better than everything you’ve seen before. (将决策过程的前37%用于收集信息，什么都不做。之后，选择下一个出现的选项，它比你以前见过的一切都要好)”可知，如果总共有100个选项，37%就是37个，也就是先观察前37个选项不做选择，接下来遇到比前面37个都好的那个选项就是要选的，那就是第38个。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“What if an absolutely brilliant candidate just happens to be the first one you come across? Following this rule might end up complaining and wondering, “What if?” It is true that matters of the heart aren’t logical, and this rule only maximizes probabilities. It doesn’t guarantee success. So if lightning strikes or the angels sing and you’ re absolutely sure you’ve found the perfect match for you, don’t let inflexible rules stand in the way. (如果一个绝对聪明的候选人恰好是你遇到的第一个人怎么办？遵循这条规则可能最终会抱怨和想知道，“如果呢？”诚然，心事不合逻辑，这条规则只会使概率最大化。它并不能保证成功。因此，如果雷击或天使歌唱，并且你绝对确定自己已经找到了最适合你的人选，请不要让僵化的规则成为阻碍)”可知，37%规则虽然有用，但不是绝对的，所以读者在特殊情况下要根据实际情况灵活判断，不要盲目遵循规则。由此推知，第四段的目的是提供一个提醒。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Spending roughly the first third of your decision-making process gathering information can help you resist fear of missing out. Knowing that you should secure the first candidate who beats the options you previously explored can help you gather the courage to make decisions. (在决策过程的前三分之一左右时间收集信息可以帮助你抵制对错过的恐惧。知道你应该确保第一个击败你之前探索过的选项的候选人可以帮助你鼓起勇气做出决定)”可知，按照37%规则，花决策过程的前一部分时间收集信息能帮助我们抵抗错失良机的恐惧，知道何时根据规则做选择能帮助我们鼓起勇气做决策，总体上这些都有助于我们更有效地做出决策。由此推知，37%规则提高了我们的决策效率。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。 Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them. ____16____ But in fact, gift-giving and receiving is actually the least popular love language. This leads to the question: Why do most people say that gift-giving stresses them out? Part of the problem is that occasions that involve gift-giving are filled with uncertainty. If it’s an occasion like Christmas, where people are shopping for each other at the same time, people might be nervous about whether the gift they give will be in the same category as the gift they will also receive. ____17____ Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’ re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as“just what they needed.” But what if the lamp-receiver interprets the gift as an unwelcome piece of comment on their current state? Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. ____18____ The idea, simply put, is that bad outcomes have a stronger psychological impact than comparable good outcomes. Few baseball fans remember all the ground balls that Bill Buckner fielded cleanly, but many remember the one that went through his legs. Worst of all, there’s the anxiety that comes with receiving gifts. You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. ____19____ ____20____ When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. A. The smell of a bad gift can delay. B. However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. C. Uncertainty can also result from different categories of gifts. D. There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. E. Soon you may be in a state of paying for your such kind of over performance. F. Indeed, gift-giving occasions seem like wonderful opportunities to create delight. G. Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕送礼物与收礼物过程中存在的压力和焦虑等问题展开说明，通过分析诸如送礼物场合的不确定性、送出糟糕礼物的影响以及接收礼物时的担忧等方面，阐述了为何大多数人会觉得送礼物有压力，最后又说明若处理得当，礼物也能成为向亲人朋友传达欣赏与理解、拉近彼此关系的美好方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Gifts are so meaningful that many believe that gifts from their romantic partner are a big way they can understand how much their partner loves them.

(事实上，送礼场合似乎是创造快乐的绝佳机会)”能够承接上文，进一步强调送礼物能带来喜悦。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Imagine that someone is showing some signs of Seasonal Affective Disorder, and you’re considering giving him a light therapy (光疗) lamp as a gift. The receiver may possibly regard this as “just what they needed.”(想象一下，某人表现出一些季节性情感障碍的迹象，而你正在考虑送给他一盏光疗灯作为礼物。接收者可能会认为这“正是他们所需要的”)”可知，礼物接收者的回应是不确定的。由此可知，D项“There is also great uncertainty around how the gift-receivers will respond. (礼物接收者将如何回应也存在很大的不确定性)”能够衔接下文，符合文意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Another issue is that you’re probably going to give a bad gift, and that bad gift might overshadow the many good gifts you’ve given. (另一个问题是，你可能会送一份糟糕的礼物，而这份糟糕的礼物可能会掩盖你送出的许多好礼物)”可知，糟糕的礼物会产生不良影响。由此可知，A项“The smell of a bad gift can delay. (一份糟糕礼物的不良影响可能会持续)”能够衔接上文，符合文意，其中bad gift是关键词。故选A项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“You might expect that a lot of well-meaning but disappointing gifts are heading your way. There can be some unease that comes with knowing that you’ll soon need to perform joy and appreciation. (你可能会预料到很多善意但令人失望的礼物正在向你走来。知道你很快就需要表现快乐和欣赏时，可能会带来一些不安)”可知，令人失望的礼物会产生糟糕的担忧。由此可知，G项“Even worse, you might worry the gift-giver will detect your insincerity and get hurt. (更糟糕的是，你可能会担心送礼人会发现你的不真诚并受到伤害)”能够衔接上文，符合文意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据下文“When done carefully, it can be a wonderful way to communicate to loved ones that we appreciate and understand them. Gifts can absolutely draw people closer together, in a lasting way. (如果仔细完成，这可能是与亲人交流我们欣赏和理解他们的绝妙方式。礼物绝对可以以持久的方式使人们更紧密地联系在一起)”可知，礼物也有好的一面。由此可知，B项“However, gift-giving is not all bad, of course. (然而，当然，送礼并不全是坏事)”能够衔接下文，符合文意。故选B项。 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） 阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Scaring my little brother, Daniel, was so funny when we were little.

She slipped into her grandfather’s attic (阁楼) at one time and found a kite in the corner. It was made by his grandfather when he was a child, and he claimed it belonged to Paula. One day, the wind whispered promises of a good flying day. Paula could hardly contain her excitement when grandfather agreed to fly the kite with her. She grabbed the kite and dashed towards the open field nearby, her heart pounding with anticipation. However as soon as she started running, the kite kept getting tangled (缠绕) up in its own string! She tried pulling it apart with no luck. “This isn’t how I imagined this would go,” she said to herself. Then her grandfather noticed how upset Paula was feeling and he stepped in to help. He showed her how to hold onto the handle while he worked on untying the whole string. “Don’t worry, Paula,” he said, “Flying kites can be tricky sometimes, but it’s also about learning and having fun.” Encouraged by her grandfather’s words, Paula decided to keep trying again. At first, it didn’t seem like things were getting any better—every time she threw the kite into the air, it would just drop back down onto the ground. Paula tried again and again, feeling much more confident. She carefully held onto the handle and threw her kite into the air… and this time it flew! The string slid through her fingers smoothly now! From that day on, all activities gave way to kite flying. For Paula, days spent flying kites was not just about the joy of flying, but also about the stories told by the circling kite. She felt each circle, each dive, each gust (一阵) of wind carry a new tale. Each story was unique, much like the kite itself. Paula would listen attentively, her imagination taking flight. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One day, a gust of wind took the kite higher than ever before. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Failing to find the kite, Paula and her grandfather decided to make a new one. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: One day, a gust of wind took the kite higher than ever before. Paula could barely see it against the bright blue of the sky. Just as she was pulling the string back, she felt a strong drag. The kite danced wildly in the sky, pulling away with all its might, as if it were being called by the clouds. Suddenly, the string broke! Paula stood motionless, watching her kite disappear into the endless blue. Quickly having collected herself, she dashed home and told her grandfather what had happened. They searched everywhere and there was no sign of it. Failing to find the kite, Paula and her grandfather decided to make a new one. Grandfather created a wooden cross, spread some paper over it and glued them together. Then Paula painted what she liked on the paper. With a long string fastened onto the frame, a new colorful kite was born. It was just like a vividly colored butterfly. Hugging her grandfather tightly with a brilliant smile, she couldn’t wait to try flying it. This time, with her new friend circling high above in the sky, she heard the most moving story about love between grandfather and granddaughter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Paula与祖父一起发现风筝、放风筝、风筝丢失、重新制作风筝等一系列事件，展现了Paula与祖父之间的深厚情感以及保拉在过程中的成长与感悟。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，一阵风把风筝带到了比以往更高的地方。”以及第二段首句内容“没能找到风筝，Paula和祖父决定做一个新的。”可知，第一段可描写Paula试图收回风筝，但是线断了，风筝飞走了。 ②由第二段首句内容“没能找到风筝，Paula和祖父决定做一个新的。”可知，第二段可描写祖父为Paula又制作了一个风筝，Paula很感激祖父对自己的爱。 2.续写线索：有一天，一阵风把风筝带到了比以往更高的地方——Paula几乎看不到风筝——于是，Paula开始往回收线，希望收回风筝——但是风筝在空中舞动，线断了——Paula悲伤地看着风筝消失在蓝天中——Paula告知了祖父这一切，两人四处寻找风筝——但是，他们未能找到风筝，于是祖父决定重新为Paula做一个新风筝——这一次，Paula自己在风筝上画上了自己喜欢的东西——当风筝在空中飞舞时，Paula感受到了祖父对自己的爱 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①镇定下来：collect oneself/calm down ②冲：dash/rush ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①灿烂的：brilliant/gorgeous ②感人的：moving/touching 【点睛】【高分句型1】Just as she was pulling the string back, she felt a strong drag.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Quickly having collected herself, she dashed home and told her grandfather what had happened.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 听力1-5 BABBA 6-10 BABCB 11-15 ACBAB 16-20 CCCAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
