Construction began that same year and was completed by 1829. The monument, an large landmark column, stands 178 feet and 8 inches high with 227 steps inside that lead to the structure's balcony. Climb to the top and you'll get an impressive view of Charm City. New York, New York A monument to George Washington can be found in New York City's Union Square Park. That sculpture, which shows a seated Washington with his right arm out raised, is the oldest sculpture in the collection of New York City parks. Moneyed citizens of New York started trying to get a sculpture of the first president built in 1851, commissioning (委托) sculptor Henry Kirke Brown, who also did a sculpture of Abraham Lincoln for Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The statue was set up in the park in 1856. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Philadelphia's Washington Monument, which shows Washington on a horse atop a sculpted fountain, was completed in 1897. The monument reflects how local people wanted Washington's legacy to be understood at the time: On the top tier (层) sits Washington riding a horse, while the next tier includes figures during his time, including a Native American man. The bottom tier shows plants and animals from the country that Washington helped create. Milwaukee, Wisconsin This monument, built in 1885, stands near Marquette University. It features a standing Washington, aged 43, dressed as a Continental Army officer holding a sword. Like Philadelphia's monument, the figures below Washington are symbolic. In this case, a woman and a child look up at him, symbolizing “history or education". 21.Where can visitors see the oldest Washington Monument? A. In Baltimore. B. In New York. C. In Philadelphia. D. In Milwaukee. 22. What do we know about Brown? A. He was known for his horse sculptures. B. He was one of the early Prospect Park designers. C. He worked in Maryland between 1815 and 1829. D. He made sculptures of both Washington and Lincoln. 23. What is special about Philadelphia's Washington Monument? A. It was designed by American architect Robert Mills. B. It consists of three levels with different features. C. It was a precious gift from Marquette University. D. It stands 178 feet and 8 inches high with 227 steps inside. B On an early morning last year, Emily Denstedt and two other gorilla doctors walked into the thick Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. They were searching for Buzinza, the head of the Rushegura mountain gorilla (山地大猩猩) group, because they feared she had broken her arm. Mountain gorillas move around a lot. This was the team's second day on Buzinza's trail. The doctors had spent all of the previous morning and afternoon tracking the gorilla's family, only to have Buzinza climb into a treetop when they finally saw her. She stayed there until nightfall-too late and too dark for a check-up. The team was luckier the next day, however. They had to push through the forest for only a few minutes before coming upon Buzinza and the rest of her family. She was on the ground eating leaves. Gorilla Doctors is an international group of about 25 wildlife veterinarians (兽医)，biologists and support staff working to keep the world's 1,000 mountain gorillas from going extinct. The group serves the health needs of the animals living in this forest. A week ago, the trackers responsible for monitoring the Rushegura gorilla group noticed that Buzinza hadn't used her right arm for several days. “We were worried that she might have a fracture (骨折),” Denstedt said. When they found Buzinza on that second day of searching, the team slowly took out their medical supplies. Denstedt gently placed Buzinza's injured arm on an X-ray plate. The picture that appeared showed there was no fracture. Instead, Buzinza was suffering from osteomyelitis, a bone infection. “That type of condition is serious," Denstedt said. Without treatment, she would likely die. The treatment took about an hour. As she worked, Denstedt spoke quietly to Buzinza, “You're all right. You're fine." "It's hard to know how much they really feel when we are touching them. But you still find yourself saying these things," Denstedt explained. Trackers and field veterinarians monitored Buzinza over the next five weeks and continued to treat her with medications. “We don't have any X-rays after treatment, so I don't know what the bone looks like now, but Buzinza is doing a lot better,” Denstedt said. "She's climbing again." 24. Which word can best describe the team's finding Buzinza? A. Secret. B. Unexpected. C. Difficult. D. Unimportant. 25.What did Denstedt find out about Buzinza after a check-up? A. Her right arm was broken. B. Her condition was life-threatening. C. She experienced an unknown disease. D. She could spread the infection to her family. 26.What did Denstedt do as she treated Buzinza? A. She tried to calm and comfort her. B. She tried to guess how she was feeling. C. She made the process as slow as possible. D. She touched her to help her go to sleep. 27.What did Denstedt say about Buzinza? A. She needed another X-ray badly. B. She'd have to wait weeks to get new treatment. C. She was recovering slowly. D. She was better at climbing trees than before. C It isn't surprising that most people associate fires with death and damage. But for Jeremy Bailey, a fire manager at the Nature Conservancy in Utah, fire is a natural process that fills the landscape with energy, much like rain. “When I think about fire, it always brings me a pleasant feeling," he says. He is the first guest on Life With Fire, a podcast (播客) hosted by former wildland firefighter Amanda Monthei. After an introductory show, each episode features an interview with an expert, perhaps a historian or a meteorologist (气象学家)，which sets out to show that news accounts of wildfire during fire seasons don't tell the whole story. “Wildfire is a subject that shouldn't be minimised to the same talking points every summer and then forgotten about every winter,” says Monthei. The effect of climate change on wildfire is a big talking point on the show because it creates more favorable conditions for fire and lengthens fire seasons. However, a few guests suggest that climate change isn't the only reason. In an episode about the historic firestorm that hit California last September, resulting in some of the area's largest ever blazes (火灾)，Nick Nauslar at the National Interagency Fire Center in Idaho talks about the factors that had to line up for such extraordinary fires to occur. As well as the absence of summer monsoons (季风) and presence of constant heatwaves, it still took lightning and strong winds to generate those vast blazes. Another big issue the show tackles is the fact that we can't put out all wildfire, so we will have to manage it. Bailey is a fan of controlled fires. These“planned fires”are often started to clear the low vegetation, such as bushes and dead plants, that typically fuels severe wildfire. One criticism of Life With Fire is that although later episodes are accessible to a general audience, the podcast takes time to get into its stride. Presenting the topics it covers in a different order would have helped guide people with no knowledge of fire science. On upcoming shows, Monthei will talk to fire practitioners from around the world. 28.Why does fire bring Bailey a pleasant feeling? A. It keeps people warm in winter. B. It helps breathe new life into nature. C. It gave him great joy during his childhood. D. It enabled him to be the first guest on a podcast. 29.What can be learned about Monthei? A. She is one of Bailey's workmates. B. She dreams of becoming a historian. C. She works as a firefighter at present. D. She knows how to deal with wildfire. 30.What does Nauslar say about the firestorm in California? A. It took place in early summer. B. It died out thanks to a heavy rain. C. It was a result of various elements. D. It was one of those “planned fires”. 31.What can we expect of Life With Fire? A. It will be more wide-ranging than ever. B. It will be more popular with meteorologists. C. It will feature interviews with fire survivors. D. It will replace its host with a local firefighter. D In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios（情景）. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”（“虚幻成本”）– imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s unwillingness,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs?” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 32. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s . A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability. 33. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”? A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept. C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments. 34. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work. B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces. C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off. D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives. 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。 How Loneliness Is Killing Us Loneliness is absolutely an epidemic (流行病) in our society, but it’s been growing for decades. Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be._____36____ And that makes it different from isolation (独处).

Curious, Alicia approached Leo and carried on a conversation. “Hi, I'm Alicia. What brings you to the courtyard today?” “I'm Leo. I like to sit here and observe. It helps me feel a bit more connected to this new place." Alicia listened intently (专心地)，her heart going out to him. She knew first-hand how challenging it could be to adjust to a new place. After learning that Leo had a passion for art，Alicia smiled warmly, “Well, if you're interested, I'm part of the art club. It's a really welcoming group, and we're always looking for new members.” “ But I'm not sure. I'm a bit shy when it comes to sharing my art. ” “There’s no pressure to share if you're not comfortable. But, I think you'd really enjoy it. It's a safe space where creativity is celebrated.” He agreed to come to the next art club meeting, his heart filled with hope. At the art club meeting, Alicia introduced Leo to the other members, a diverse group of students who shared a love for art and creativity. They welcomed Leo with open arms, and soon he felt like he had found a second home. Inspired by Alicia's kindness, Leo started to share his artwork with the group.

Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. (在最初的实验中，近40%的参与者吃了免费提供的饼干，相比之下，提供5美元的参与者中约有20%吃了饼干。另外九项实验，涉及4000多名参与者，使用在线问卷来呈现其他场景。这些条件包括给钱让他们搭车回家，极高的建筑工作工资，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每种情况下，超过某一点，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性。)”可知，实验主要关注人们的决策过程，即“决策制定”。故选B。 【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” (该研究的主要作者Vonasch说，这表明，与“标准经济模型”相反，交易也需要被理解为人们试图了解彼此思想的社会互动。“标准经济模型”假设人类总是寻求利益最大化。如果有人似乎违反了公认的规则，比如自利，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“虚幻成本”——想象的后果会降低Vonasch所说的报价的“心理价值”。)”可知，作者在第三段中提到“standard economic model”是为了进一步解释实验，帮助读者理解人们的决策过程。故选A。 【34题详解】词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. (当下以外的因素可能会起作用。英国雷丁大学的心理学家雷切尔·麦克洛伊说：“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们亏欠他们，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”研究人员还展示了如何mitigate这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由。)”可知，理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们亏欠他们，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿，简单地提供一个交易的理由是为了减轻这种影响，因此mitigate在这里的意思是“减少，减轻”。A. Analyse分析；B. Improve改进；C. Measure测量；D. Lessen减少，减轻。 【35题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” (在《人格与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常高的薪水或可疑的廉价服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们面对看似“好得令人难以置信”的报价时的心理反应，即因为担心存在隐藏的代价而拒绝接受。选项C “Phantom costs: Why ‘too good to be true’ scares people off (虚幻成本：为什么“好得令人难以置信”会吓跑人们。)” 准确地概括了文章的主旨，符合题意。 【答案】36. A 37. E 38. B 39. D 40. G 【解析】【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在人们感到孤独的原因以及孤独对我们的影响。 【36题详解】由上文“Loneliness is the sense that “I am less connected to other people than I want to be”.孤独是一种“我和别人的联系比我想要的少”的感觉)”可知，这里在具体描述孤独是一种怎样的状态，而A项It’s a very subjective experience.(这是一种非常主观的体验)符合语境，其中It指代上文的 Loneliness，subjective与上文I want to be对应，所以本句有承上作用。故选A项。 【37题详解】由下文“In some studies, as many as, 60% of people will say that they feel lonely much of the time. (在一些研究中，多达60%的人会说他们大部分时间都感到孤独)”可知，这里讲很多人会感觉到孤独，而E项Since the 1950s, people have been less and less invested in other people.(自20世纪50年代以来，人们对他人的投入的沟通时间越来越少)符合语境，与下句构成因果关系，所以有启下作用。故选E项。 【38题详解】由上文“There are many factors that are responsible for that. We’ve become a much more mobile society where the networks of family and friends get loose as people move for jobs and other kinds of opportunities like education.(造成这种情况的因素有很多。我们已经成为一个流动性更强的社会，随着人们为工作和教育等其他机会而流动，家人和朋友的网络变得松散)”可知，这里在讲造成孤独的因素。而B项All of that is good on the one hand.(一方面，这一切都很好)符合语境，that指代上文列举的具体情况， 本句也与but引导的后文形成转折关系。故选B项。 【39题详解】由上文“Research finds loneliness is dangerous to our health. (研究发现孤独对我们的健康是危险的)”可知，孤独对我们的健康是危险的，而D项Stress coming from loneliness causes physical breakdown.(孤独带来的压力会导致身体崩溃)符合语境，其中physical breakdown与上文dangerous to our health对应，所以本句有承上作用。故选D项。 【40题详解】由上文“The choice we can make to keep us on a good path of wellbeing is to invest in our relationships with other people.(我们可以做出的选择是投资于我们与他人的关系，以保持我们的健康)”可知，这里讲我们可以投资于我们与他人的关系来保持我们的健康，而G项A good way is to find an activity around other people where you are comfortable.(一个好方法是在别人周围找一个你觉得舒服的活动)符合语境，本句为改善我们与他人的关系的具体建议，所以有承上作用。故选G项。 完形填空：41-45 ACBBD 46-50 DABCD 51-55 BCCAD 41. [解析] 根据本空后文“to reach down to pick up a rapidly floating tennis ball”可知,他们的教练急于伸手去捡一个快速漂移的网球。故选A。 42. [解析] 根据本空前文“Some children were learning to sail in the open water.”可知,这里指：这个网球是教练用于教学的。故选C。 43.
