B “Growing fruit trees is a very simple way to stay in love with our world,” says Vivian Keh, playwright and daughter of immigrants, holding a basket of persimmons (柿子) she’s cultivated to feel connected to her Korean ancestors. Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees. Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species’ connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty. Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together. Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor’ illustrations — she gives Us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms. After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?” she writes. “Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.” 24. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation, 25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead. C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds. 26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees? A. It inspires new ideas. B. It rarely happens in public. C. It allows deep emotional sharing. D. It helps resolve environmental issues. 27. What does the writer think of the book? A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense. C Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter, according to a new Australian study published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes — like swapping a frozen meat lasagna (宽面条) for the vegetarian option — could push the reduction to as much as 71%. Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options. Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equal to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added. A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product bar code and check its “Planetary Health Rating”, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star (high emissions) to five stars (low emissions). “While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive (强制的) display of a single, standardized sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded professor Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. 28. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To set the stage for further explanation. B. To summarize the previous paragraph. C To give supporting details for the writer’s argument. D. To make a comparison between different countries. 29. What do the numbers listed in paragraph 3 emphasize? A. The total emissions of Australia. B. The impact of switching groceries. C. The variety of food categories. D. The number of eco-friendly shoppers. 30. What do we know about ecoSwitch? A. It is popular in high-income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products. C. It ensures wiser choices for food purchase. D. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. 31. What’s the best title of the text? A. EcoSwitch — a Reminder of Food Safety B. Dietary habits — a Factor of Physical Health C. Food swaps — a Way of Environmental Sustainability D. Greenhouse gas emissions — a Cause of Environmental Crisis D You see a fantastic offer, like a hotel room. You decide to book. Then it turns out there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final price, it is no longer the fantastic offer you thought. Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision. There’s a profound psychological mechanism at play here, called the present bias. In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. In simple terms, the inconvenience of doing something “right now” often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses - loss aversion. Imagine you’re booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out. But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show from those nice seats. Going back to a cheaper seat will feel like a loss. Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. 32. Which of the following is an example of drip pricing? A. FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choose their flight. B. Airbnb offers you a membership account when you book a trip. C. Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond the advertised price. D. Ticketmaster provides optional items at later stages of your purchase. 33. What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reach. B. Abandon. C. Sign. D. Expand. 34. How will Rabin explain people’s refusal to cancel an order and remake one? A. People are likely to blindly stick to their initial intentions. B. People like to grab earlier rewards and delay immediate costs. C. People struggle to make a decision among multiple choices. D. People tend to tolerate additional costs within their budget. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To explain why people fall into the drip pricing trick. B. To educate customers on how to deal with drip pricing. C. To call on governments to protect consumers’ interests. D. To introduce two psychological phenomena about spending. 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 to Overcome the Harmful Habit of Judging You’ve done it. I’ve done it. We all do it— we all sometimes pass judgment on others when their behavior doesn’t meet our standards. Clothing choices, how people spend their free time, job skills— the list of possible things to judge is endless. ____36____ While you may not consciously label them as such, you are familiar with nonverbals that convey judgment: pursed lips, raised eyebrows, crossed arms, tipping head to literally look down upon another. We judge others to protect our own self-images. But that protection comes at a price. ____37____ And with it comes defensiveness, prejudice, and hostility(敌意). Judgment is just a dressed-up version of shame. We put the shame on to someone else so that we don’t have to feel our own. To overcome judgment, you should shore up your self-worth. If you are grounded in confidence and value yourself, you are less likely to be judgmental. Remind yourself when you feel judged by others, it’s a reflection of their own battle with shame, not who or what you are. Yes, you make mistakes and sometimes behave badly. ____38____ You grow, learn, and improve. You accomplish and achieve and win. You are valuable and worthy even when you fall short. When you accept your flaws(缺陷) and mistakes and still see yourself as a worthwhile human being in spite of them, you can in turn accept other flawed human beings, too. ____39____ Judging others creates a false sense of self-worth. If you find yourself doing it, stop. ____40____ But do take a look in the mirror. Where do you need shoring up? It takes some thoughtfulness and work, but you’ll have better relationships, improved trust, more creativity, and greater influence when you stop judging others and start valuing yourself. A. Don’t beat yourself up for it. B. Shame hits you from many angles. C. But you are more than your mistakes. D. You’ve been on the receiving end, too. E. Judgment costs creativity, curiosity, and trust. F. At the core is the feeling of not being good enough. G. The more you like and accept yourself, the less you have to put others down. 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。 In the summer of 2019, I attended a birthday party in the Lake District.

Flying me there in an air ambulance was too much of the risk as the hospital didn’t have a helipad(停机坪), so I had to be taken by ambulance. Arriving at Sheffield’s children’s hospital, I was treated by surgeon Ricardo, who specialized in facial trauma(创伤). I underwent ____47____ surgery, receiving over 200 stitches(缝针) and metal plates in my chin. Ricardo described my accident as severe, nearly fatal. After waking, my face was ____48____, and I was fed through my nose. It took two weeks to regain ____49____. Adjusting to my new appearance was challenging too, but I remained _____50_____.

Currently studying English and linguistics at university, I desire to become a language _____52_____ to help those with similar tragedies. My experience also _____53_____ me to raise £2,000 for a first-aid helipad at Sheffield children’s hospital, which has now been _____54_____.

He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school. “You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe? I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside. “Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked. I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased. “That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew. Meatball became a regular. One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside. I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.” “Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke. The next morning I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her. 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。 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年度上学期高三年级12月阶段测试 英语试题 （满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What has the man packed already?

A 【解析】 【原文】M: In today’s program, I’m with Sheila Forbes, a sports psychologist who helps professional footballers prepare mentally for their performance. Welcome, Sheila. W: Thank you. M: So Sheila, how would you define your role? W: Basically, I have to make sure they understand what I do and show them what they’ll get out of it. I train them how to structure their thinking, to be more confident about themselves, and not to be influenced by the apparent confidence of opposing players. M: So what does a sports psychologist need? W: Well, I’ve worked in various sports, none of which I’ve ever performed in. What is needed, though, is that you understand the mental demands of those sports, and are able to adapt in your work. But if you’re not honest to your clients about what you realistically can and can’t do, you won’t progress very far. M: Is there anything you dislike about the job? W: Well, some people suggest that we are simply doing this for financial gain and realistically can’t help top sports people improve in their game. But all we’re doing is ensuring that athletes achieve a consistently high level of performance. There’s a constant shift in environments, but I find that the techniques you learn are highly adaptable, as long as you’re creative enough to do that. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17.

Keh is just one of the 50 remarkable subjects in naturalist writer Amy Stewart’s The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession, a collection of portraits of people transformed by their love of trees. Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects. They plant trees in public and private spaces both modest and expansive, nurturing (培育) their collections to honor beloved dead, attract wildlife, preserve rare species’ connect to history, invest in the future, grow food and create beauty. Steward categorizes these tree collectors according to their sense of purpose. Kenneth Hoegh, one of the book’s “ecologists”, tests which cold-loving species might grow in a warming and historically treeless Greenland. “Healer” Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the “community builders” who seek to bring people together. Adding to the book’s charm are Stewart’s watercolor’ illustrations — she gives Us a look at each of her human subjects while also cataloging the most wonderful qualities of featured trees, such as Seussian eucalyptus seed pods and delicate camellia blossoms. After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. “How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?” she writes. “Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.” 24. What does the underlined word “curation” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Connection. B. Collection. C. Treatment. D. Transformation, 25. What purpose of planting trees is mentioned in paragraph 3? A. To preserve rare species. B. To honor beloved dead. C. To develop new varieties. D. To strengthen social bonds. 26. What does the quote in the last paragraph suggest about discussing trees? A. It inspires new ideas. B. It rarely happens in public. C. It allows deep emotional sharing. D. It helps resolve environmental issues. 27. What does the writer think of the book? A. Complicated. B. Conventional. C. Inspiring. D. Intense. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自然主义作家艾米·斯图尔特的作品The Tree Collectors: Tales of Arboreal Obsession，该书描绘了50位因对树木的热爱而改变的人物。 【24题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段“Initially, trees struck Stewart as an odd thing to collect. Intrigued by this community of enthusiasts, she discovered educators, preservationists and visionaries, all drawn to a kind of curation, motivated by reasons diverse as their projects.(起初，斯图尔特觉得收集树木很奇怪。被这个爱好者群体所吸引，她发现了教育工作者、保护主义者和梦想家，他们都被这一种 所吸引，其动机与他们的项目不同)”可知，这里curation应指前一句中所提及的收集，所以猜测curation表“收集”的意思。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“‘Healer’ Joe Hamilton plants loblolly pines on a parcel of land he got from his enslaved ancestors with an eye toward long-term sustainable forestry which he hopes will establish a source of generational wealth for his family. Reagan Wytsalucy has a plan to restore traditional peach orchards on Navajo land as one of the ‘community builders’ who seek to bring people together.(‘治疗师’乔·汉密尔顿在他从被奴役的祖先那里获得的一块土地上种植火炬松，着眼于长期可持续的林业，他希望这将为他的家庭建立一代人的财富来源。Reagan Wytsalucy计划恢复纳瓦霍土地上的传统桃园，作为寻求将人们聚集在一起的‘社区建设者’之一)”可知，第3段提到植树是可以加强社会联系的。故选D项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“‘How often do any of us get a chance to pour our hearts out to a stranger?’ she writes. ‘’Somehow, talking about trees made it possible.’(她写道：‘我们中有多少人有机会向陌生人倾诉心声？不知何故，和树聊天可以使这成为可能。’)”可知，和树聊天可允许人们进行深度的情感分享。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“After spending time in this varied commonwealth, you’ll undoubtedly experience an intense desire to rest under the shade of a leafy oak. But something even deeper is happening here: by creating a space for people to talk about something they love. (在这个多样化的联邦度过一段时间后，你无疑会强烈渴望在绿树成荫的橡树下休息。但这里正在发生更深层次的事情：为人们创造一个谈论他们喜欢的事情的空间)”以及上下文可知，作者认为这本书鼓舞人心，会让读者爱上树以及向往书里的生活。故选C项。 C Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter, according to a new Australian study published in Nature Food. Making bigger changes — like swapping a frozen meat lasagna (宽面条) for the vegetarian option — could push the reduction to as much as 71%. Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US.” But while consumers are increasingly aware of the environmental impact of the food system, they lack reliable information to identify the more environmentally friendly options. Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equal to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. The results of the study show the potential to significantly reduce our environmental impact by switching like-for-like products. “It showed that you can switch to lower emissions products while still enjoying nutritious foods,” Dr Gaines added. A free app, called ecoSwitch, has been developed currently available in Australia, based on this research. Shoppers can use their device to scan a product bar code and check its “Planetary Health Rating”, a measure of its emissions shown as a score between half a star (high emissions) to five stars (low emissions). “While ecoSwitch is a much-needed first step in providing environmental transparency (透明度) for grocery shoppers, the vision is for compulsive (强制的) display of a single, standardized sustainability rating system on all supermarket products,” concluded professor Neal, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology at Imperial College London. 28. What is the function of paragraph 2? A. To set the stage for further explanation. B. To summarize the previous paragraph. C. To give supporting details for the writer’s argument. D. To make a comparison between different countries. 29. What do the numbers listed in paragraph 3 emphasize? A. The total emissions of Australia. B. The impact of switching groceries. C. The variety of food categories. D. The number of eco-friendly shoppers. 30. What do we know about ecoSwitch? A. It is popular in high-income countries. B. It checks the emissions of star products. C. It ensures wiser choices for food purchase. D. It is a measurement system for a supermarket. 31. What’s the best title of the text? A. EcoSwitch — a Reminder of Food Safety B. Dietary habits — a Factor of Physical Health C. Food swaps — a Way of Environmental Sustainability D. Greenhouse gas emissions — a Cause of Environmental Crisis 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新的澳大利亚研究，该研究探讨了通过选择更环保的食品和饮料替代品来减少家庭杂货购买所产生的温室气体排放。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“Lead author Dr Allison Gaines said, “Dietary habits need to change significantly if we are to meet global emissions targets, particularly in high-income countries like Australia, the UK, and the US. (该研究的主要作者艾莉森·盖恩斯博士说：“如果我们要达到全球排放目标，尤其是在澳大利亚、英国和美国等高收入国家，我们需要显著改变饮食习惯。”)”和第三段“Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups. Making switches within the same sub-categories of foods could lead to emission reductions of 26% in Australia, equal to taking over 1.9 million cars off the road. Switches within minor categories of foods could lead to even bigger emission reductions of 71%. (研究人员计算了7000户澳大利亚家庭年度杂货购买的预计排放量。22000多种产品被分配到食品的主要、次要和子类别中，以量化在组内和组间转换所能减少的排放量。在澳大利亚，在同一种食品子类别内进行转换可以使排放量减少26%，这相当于让190多万辆汽车不再上路。在食品的小类别之间进行转换甚至可以带来更大的减排效果，减排量可达71%)”可推知，第二段的作用是为进一步的解释做铺垫，说明饮食习惯的改变对于达成全球排放目标的重要性，特别是在高收入国家。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“Researchers calculated the projected emissions of annual grocery purchases from 7,000 Australian households. More than 22,000 products were assigned to major, minor and sub-categories of foods to quantify emissions saved by switching both within and between groups.

(购物者可以使用他们的设备扫描产品条形码并检查其“行星健康评级”，这是一种衡量其排放的指标，显示为半颗星（高排放）到五颗星（低排放）之间的分数)”可知，ecoSwitch是一个应用程序，可以让购物者扫描产品条形码并检查其评分，这是一个衡量其排放量的分数。由此推知，这个程序可以确保食品购买时做出更明智的选择。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Switching food and drink purchases to very similar but more environmentally friendly alternatives could reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from household groceries by more than a quarter, according to a new Australian study published in Nature Food. (根据发表在《自然·食品》杂志上的一项新的澳大利亚研究，将食品和饮料购买转向非常相似但更环保的替代品，可以减少家庭杂货温室气体排放量四分之一以上。做出更大的改变——比如用素食意大利面代替冷冻肉意大利面——可以使减排量高达71%)”可知，文章主要讲述了一项新的澳大利亚研究，研究表明将食品和饮料购买转向非常相似但更环保的替代品，可以减少家庭杂货温室气体排放量，并介绍了基于此研究开发的名为ecoSwitch的应用程序。由此可知，最好的标题是“Food swaps — a Way of Environmental Sustainability (食物替换——一种环境可持续的方式)”。故选C。 D You see a fantastic offer, like a hotel room. You decide to book. Then it turns out there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final price, it is no longer the fantastic offer you thought. Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision. There’s a profound psychological mechanism at play here, called the present bias. In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. In simple terms, the inconvenience of doing something “right now” often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses - loss aversion. Imagine you’re booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out. But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show from those nice seats. Going back to a cheaper seat will feel like a loss. Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. 32. Which of the following is an example of drip pricing? A FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choose their flight. B. Airbnb offers you a membership account when you book a trip. C. Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond the advertised price. D. Ticketmaster provides optional items at later stages of your purchase. 33. What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reach. B. Abandon. C. Sign. D. Expand. 34. How will Rabin explain people’s refusal to cancel an order and remake one? A. People are likely to blindly stick to their initial intentions. B. People like to grab earlier rewards and delay immediate costs. C. People struggle to make a decision among multiple choices. D. People tend to tolerate additional costs within their budget. 35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To explain why people fall into the drip pricing trick. B. To educate customers on how to deal with drip pricing. C. To call on governments to protect consumers’ interests. D. To introduce two psychological phenomena about spending. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了滴漏式定价的策略及其背后的心理学机制，以及消费者为何容易陷入这种定价陷阱。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. (欢迎来到滴漏式定价的世界——一种以吸引人的标题价格促销商品的做法，然后，一旦你承诺购买过程，就会用不可避免的“滴漏式”附加条款来打击你。)”可知，Rent-A-Car在广告价格之外收取磨损费是滴漏式定价的一个例子。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. (在大多数情况下，你看透了所有额外的强制性费用，即使你可以relinquish这笔交易，你还是选择咬紧牙关完成这笔交易。)”可知，尽管你可以放弃这笔交易，但你还是选择咬紧牙关完成交易。relinquish意为“放弃”。A. Reach达到；B. Abandon放弃；C. Sign签名；D. Expand扩展。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. (经济学家马修·拉宾在论文《现在做还是以后做》中，通过一个在4月1日做7小时不愉快活动，还是在两周后做8小时不愉快的活动之间进行选择的例子，定义了人们对现在的偏好：如果在2月1日被问及这个问题，大多数人会选择更早的选项。但到了4月1日，如果面临同样的选择，我们大多数人倾向于把工作推迟到4月15日。)”可知，拉宾通过一个例子来解释人们拒绝取消订单并重新下单的原因，这个例子是选择在4月1日做7个小时的不愉快活动，还是在两周后做8个小时的活动。这表明人们喜欢提前获得奖励并推迟立即的成本。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. (欢迎来到滴漏式定价的世界——一种以吸引人的标题价格促销商品的做法，然后，一旦你承诺购买过程，就会用不可避免的“滴漏式”附加条款来打击你。)”和最后一段中“Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. (买家将从滴漏式定价禁令中受益。许多国家正在采取措施保护消费者免受滴漏式定价的影响。然而，这些措施的有效性尚不确定。尽管如此，你还是可以通过理解为什么这个策略有效而做出更明智的决定。)”可知，文章主要介绍了滴漏式定价的策略，解释了为什么人们会落入这种定价策略的陷阱，并讨论了禁止滴漏式定价的措施。因此，作者的主要目的是解释为什么人们会落入滴漏式定价的陷阱。故选A。 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 to Overcome the Harmful Habit of Judging You’ve done it. I’ve done it. We all do it— we all sometimes pass judgment on others when their behavior doesn’t meet our standards. Clothing choices, how people spend their free time, job skills— the list of possible things to judge is endless. ____36____ While you may not consciously label them as such, you are familiar with nonverbals that convey judgment: pursed lips, raised eyebrows, crossed arms, tipping head to literally look down upon another. We judge others to protect our own self-images. But that protection comes at a price. ____37____ And with it comes defensiveness, prejudice, and hostility(敌意). Judgment is just a dressed-up version of shame. We put the shame on to someone else so that we don’t have to feel our own. To overcome judgment, you should shore up your self-worth. If you are grounded in confidence and value yourself, you are less likely to be judgmental. Remind yourself when you feel judged by others, it’s a reflection of their own battle with shame, not who or what you are. Yes, you make mistakes and sometimes behave badly. ____38____ You grow, learn, and improve. You accomplish and achieve and win. You are valuable and worthy even when you fall short. When you accept your flaws(缺陷) and mistakes and still see yourself as a worthwhile human being in spite of them, you can in turn accept other flawed human beings, too. ____39____ Judging others creates a false sense of self-worth. If you find yourself doing it, stop. ____40____ But do take a look in the mirror. Where do you need shoring up? It takes some thoughtfulness and work, but you’ll have better relationships, improved trust, more creativity, and greater influence when you stop judging others and start valuing yourself. A. Don’t beat yourself up for it. B. Shame hits you from many angles. C. But you are more than your mistakes. D. You’ve been on the receiving end, too. E. Judgment costs creativity, curiosity, and trust. F. At the core is the feeling of not being good enough. G. The more you like and accept yourself, the less you have to put others down. 【答案】36. D 37. E 38. C 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何克服评判的坏习惯的几种方法。 【36题详解】 下文“ While you may not consciously label them as such, you are familiar with nonverbals that convey judgment: pursed lips, raised eyebrows, crossed arms, tipping head to literally look down upon another. (虽然你可能不会有意识地给他们贴上这样的标签，但你熟悉传达判断的非言语行为：噘起嘴唇、扬起眉毛、交叉双臂、低头俯视他人)”说明虽然你可能不会有意识地给他们贴上这样的标签，但是自己已经被贴上标签了。说明空格处表示的意思是“自己成为了评判的接收者”，因此D项“你也一直处于接收端”概括段意，故选D。 【37题详解】 上文“But that protection comes at a price. (但这种保护是有代价的)”说明下文要表明的是“代价”的内容，其中，选项E中的“costs”和上文中“comes at a price”的是同义词，因此E项“判断需要创造力、好奇心和信任”符合语境，故选E。 【38题详解】 上文“Yes, you make mistakes and sometimes behave badly. (是的，你会犯错，有时表现得很糟糕)”以及下文“You grow, learn, and improve. You accomplish and achieve and win. You are valuable and worthy even when you fall short. (你成长、学习和提高。你达到目标。即使你做得不够好，你也是有价值的。)”说明犯错误之后改变了，成长了，所以不要总是活在错误中，而是要超越自己的错误。空格处是承上启下，因此C项“但你要超越你的错误”符合语境，故选C。 【39题详解】 上文“When you accept your flaws(缺陷) and mistakes and still see yourself as a worthwhile human being in spite of them, you can in turn accept other flawed human beings, too. (当你接受自己的缺点和错误，尽管如此，你仍然认为自己是一个有价值的人，你反过来也可以接受其他有缺陷的人)”说明要接受自己的错误和缺点，善待他人。因此G项“你越喜欢和接受自己，就越不必贬低别人”符合语境，故选G。 【40题详解】 上文“Judging others creates a false sense of self-worth. If you find yourself doing it, stop. (评判他人会产生一种虚假的自我价值感。如果你发现自己在做，停下来)”说明评判他人是一种不好的事情，如果发现自己做了这样不好的事情，就应该赶紧停下，可能会自责，但是结合下文“But do take a look in the mirror. Where do you need shoring up? It takes some thoughtfulness and work (但一定要照镜子。你需要在哪里支撑？这需要一些深思熟虑和努力)”说明做了虚假评判之后应该采取的正确的措施，而不是自责自已。空格处起到承上启下的关系，因此A项“不要因此而自责”符合语境，故选A。 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。 In the summer of 2019, I attended a birthday party in the Lake District. While enjoying horse riding, I swapped horses with my nervous friend. Suddenly, this horse got ____41____ and was impossible to ____42____ . It whipped round a corner. That’s when I saw the gatepost. I tried to let go, but ____43____ straight into it. I landed on the ground, unable to feel anything below my nose. ____44____, I found my way back to the ____45____ house, where a guest provided a tea towel for my face.

He would tell me that he was already seventeen, but still had a curfew (宵禁). He believed he was practically an adult. I pointed out that he was not an adult as he was still in high school. “You don’t trust me!” he yelled. Before I continued, he rolled his eyes, slammed the door and walked away. I sighed. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted to keep him safe? I decided to go for a walk, hoping the December air would clear my head. I opened the front door and nearly stepped on her: a small black cat, just like a meatball. “Hi, Meatball,” I said, bringing her into my arms. I walked back in, touching her neck gently. Meatball seemed happy enough to come in the house, but after an hour or two, she sat by the door, meowing to go back outside. “Why won’t she just stay in with us all the time?” Nathan, my youngest son asked. I explained to him that she was happy here but she liked being able to come and go as she pleased. “That must be nice,” Jordan muttered from the other room, complaining why the cat, not him, could come and go. He even asked me to give Meatball a curfew. Meatball became a regular. One night, temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door, meowing to go outside. I shook my head at her, afraid that she might freeze to death. She stared at me and meowed again. I patted her head, “I know you’re not happy, but it’s for your own good.” “Mom’s not being mean to you,” Nathan told the cat. “She’s just trying to keep you from turning into a frozen meatball.” We both laughed at his joke. The next morning, I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked the kids if anyone had seen her. 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。 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Jordan nodded, “I let her out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “She was outside all night?” I was so furious, “It was freezing and she could die!” Jordan choked back his words, stunned. I grabbed my coat and rushed outside. Jordan followed, fear welling up in his eyes. Several minutes later, the poor thing was found, shaking and curling into a tiny ball. I picked her up, unsure whether she was alive or dead. Jordan was scared, “We need a vet! Now!” As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat. I could hear him talking to the cat, apologizing repeatedly. Luckily, the vet saved Meatball. Seeing her eyes open, Jordan stroked her head, all tears. Then, surprisingly, he turned to me. He apologized for what he had done. “I know you just want to keep me safe,” he murmured. I felt a lump in my throat. He rubbed Meatball’s back, “Looks like we are both going to observe the curfew. It’s for our own good.” 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者的儿子抱怨作者不让他晚上外出，但是在通过猫被夜里放出而差点被冻死的事情后，他儿子终于明白作者不让他出去是为了他的安全着想。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①.由第一段首句内容：乔丹点点头，“我昨晚放她出来的。”可知，第一段可描写猫被放出去后他们去寻找的过程以及猫被找到后的状态。 ②.由第二段首句内容：“当我开车去动物医院的时候，乔丹坐在后面，把肉球放在外套里。”可知，第二段可描写他们将猫送去救治的过程以及乔丹的懊悔。 2.续写线索：去找猫——发现猫——发现猫状态不对——送去救治——猫得救——乔丹懊悔 3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达） 行为类 ①.抓住：grab/grasp ②.轻抚：stroke/ pet ③.拯救：save/ rescue 情绪类 ①.非常愤怒： so furious / so angry ②.恐惧的：scared/ terrified 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I drove to the animal hospital, Jordan sat in the back, holding Meatball inside his coat.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2].
