These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance. It seems obvious that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory — repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — has also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well. Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was a small baby and finally his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation (动力). “If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said. It was with that state of mind that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential (潜力) in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said. Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback , there’s a setup (安排),” Jake said. “In every one of us, there’s more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.” 4. We can learn from the article that Jake Olson ________. A. was born a blind child B. gave up on himself for a while C. has great muscle memory D. is trying to find the cure for his disease 5. According to the article, Jake’s family members ________. A. pity him deeply B. once lost trust in him C. encouraged him to write the book D. admire his efforts and determination 6. The book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life, is to ________. A. introduce good ways to get along with disabled people B. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilities C. help people come up with better life goals D. explain different meanings of “a happier life” 7. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph? A. Fight. B. Failure. C. Opportunity. D. Success. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，Jake Olson在很小的时候就左眼失明，后来右眼也没有了视力。但是他凭借着以前的运动经历和肌肉记忆，失明后继续在学校队里打球。在业余时间里，他还会写书去激励人们不要被挫折失败吓倒，要努力去开发自己的潜能，使自己的人生更精彩。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“It seems obvious that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory — repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — has also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well.(很明显，作为一个有视力和肌肉记忆的人，他早期的运动经历——一遍又一遍地重复动作，直到它们成为第二天性——也使杰克打得很好)”可知，他的肌肉记忆力帮他在失明后继续打球，即Jake Olson有很强的肌肉记忆力，故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Jake’s father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships.(Jack的父亲Brian Olson说，Jack一生所做的一切给家人留下了深刻的印象，包括向人们展示了他们可以克服困难)”可知，Jake的家人特别佩服他的毅力和决心，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential (潜力) in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have(这是为了打开读者的眼睛，让他们看到自己在生活中的真正潜力，并确保他们使用所有的能力)”可知，这本书的目的是激励人们去开发自己的潜能，故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest(你最黑暗的时刻很快就会变成最光明的时刻)”可以推测，setbacke应该是和darkest hour相对应的，表示“失败”，故选B。 C An ocean researcher, Peter Bromirski, at the University of California, San Diego, says waves’ have been getting bigger and stronger since 1970. There are also more big wave events than ever before. A big wave is about four metres tall or more. When large waves reach the coast, they bounce back and run into new waves. The crash sends energy through the ocean floor, where it can be recorded by seismographs (地震仪). Those records allowed Bromirski to decide the strength and size of waves over a period of 90 years. Bromirski said he found the seismographic information by chance. Before the discovery, he said “it was almost impossible” to compare waves from the past with those from the present. It took a lot of work to put the information together Much of the information was. on paper. Bromirski and his team of student researchers had to enter the information into a computer so they could study the information easily. The slow process took years. They found that the height of most waves in the winter along the California coast had grown by about 30 centimetres since 1970. Starting that year, waves of over 4 metres happened more often as well. Between 1996 and 2016, the large waves happened twice as often as they did from 1949 to 1969. 1970 is the year scientists believe the warming of the planet began to speed up. Bromirski says the new information shows that climate change is making ocean waves taller and stronger. That means they are more likely to harm the coast, roads and buildings. Bromirski said his research may be a warning that bigger and stronger waves are ahead. With more warming, sea levels will rise and waves will get stronger, causing flooding and more damage to land. The California coast has already been damaged by big waves in recent years. 8. What does the underlined phrase “bounce back” mean in paragraph 2? A. Go up. B. Move back. C. Crash out. D. Take over. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Forms of sea waves near the coast. B. Ways the water moves to the shore. C. The way of recording sea wave strength. D. Difference between present and past waves. 10. Why did the researchers enter the information into a computer? A. To examine whether it is correct. B. To use it conveniently in research. C. To share it with other researchers. D To make sure of information safety. 11. What does Bromirski think of the change in ocean water movement? A. It will cause more serious results. B. It will result in more heavy rain on land. C. It will make climate change for the worse. D. It will bring more risk to human activities at sea. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员发现自1970年以来海洋波浪变大变强，可能与气候变化有关。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“When large waves reach the coast (当大浪到达海岸时)”和“run into new waves (撞向新的海浪)”可知，当大浪到达海岸时，它们会反弹回来，撞向新的海浪。bounce back指的是海浪到达海岸后又向后移动，即“后退”。A. Go up上去；B. Move back后退；C. Crash out冲出去；D. Take over接管。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中“When large waves reach the coast, they bounce back and run into new waves. The crash sends energy through the ocean floor, where it can be recorded by seismographs (地震仪). Those records allowed Bromirski to decide the strength and size of waves over a period of 90 years. (当大浪到达海岸时，它们会反弹回来，撞向新的海浪。撞击将能量传送到海底，地震仪可以记录下来。这些记录使Bromirski能够确定90年来海浪的强度和大小。)”可知，从第2段学到记录海浪强度的方法。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Bromirski and his team of student researchers had to enter the information into a computer so they could study the information easily. (Bromirski和他的学生研究团队必须将这些信息输入计算机，以便他们能够轻松地研究这些信息。)”可知，研究者将信息输入计算机是为了方便研究使用。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Bromirski said his research may be a warning that bigger and stronger waves are ahead. With more warming, sea levels will rise and waves will get stronger, causing flooding and more damage to land. (Bromirski说，他的研究可能是一个警告，更大更强的海浪即将到来。随着气候变暖，海平面将上升，海浪将变得更强，导致洪水和对陆地的更多破坏。)”可知，Bromirski认为海洋水动力的变化可能会导致更严重的后果。故选A。 D Before the Internet age, critical thinking was the most important skill of people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a famous psychologist, a more important skill is critical ignoring (批判性忽略). As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can offer us advertisements producing profit (利润). So we are not customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls on us to learn the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure (接触) to false information. According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which includes removing low- quality y et hard-to-resist (难以抵制的) information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.’ Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-catching items are kept out of sight: Like dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to keep them out of sight at first! The next is to judge the reliability (可靠) of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream, which can be reliable. The last is: “never feed the trolls.” Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm. Do not correct them, because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal. So, ignore their bad behaviour. By using the above critical ignoring skills, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being harmed by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds. 12. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2? A. It offers more information. B. If offers depressing stories. C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It goes after profits from each click. 13. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3? A. To explain the power of will. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food. C. To show the importance of environments. D. To discuss the quality of information. 14. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text? A. Review their aim. B. Turn a deaf ear to them. C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Strategies for Internet users to apply critical thinking. B. Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy. C. Practising the skills of critical ignoring in the digital age. D. Increasing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了在数字时代，由于信息过载和注意力经济，批判性思维不再是唯一重要的技能，而更为关键的是“批判性忽略”的技能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can offer us advertisements producing profit (利润). So we are not customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.(正如研究人员指出的那样，我们生活在一个注意力经济中，互联网上的内容生产者在争夺我们的注意力。它们用许多引人注目的故事来吸引我们，而提供的有用信息却很少，这样所以他们可以为我们提供广告而产生利润。所以我们不是顾客而是产品，我们点击的每一个链接都是在销售我们的时间和注意力)”可知，注意力经济可以让我们接触到盈利性广告，并从我们的每次点击中寻求利润。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-catching items are kept out of sight: Like dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to keep them out of sight at first!(成功的节食者需要把不健康的食物远离他们的家。“同样，我们需要建立一个数字环境，让那些引人注目的东西远离我们的视线：就像节食一样，如果一个人试图依靠意志力不去点击引人注目的‘新闻’，他肯定会失败。”所以，最好一开始就把它们放在视线之外)”可推知，作者在第三段提到节食者，是为了强调我们需要建立一个让那些吸引眼球的东西远离我们的视线的数字环境，以此来表明环境的重要性。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm. Do not correct them, because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal. So, ignore their bad behaviour.(喷子是一些在网上传播虚假信息以造成伤害的人。不要纠正他们，因为他们不关心信息是否正确。惹恼别人是他们的目标。所以，忽略他们的不良行为)”可知，对付网络喷子，我们最好对他们充耳不闻。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a famous psychologist, a more important skill is critical ignoring (批判性忽略).(但根据著名心理学家Anastasia Kozyreva的说法，在数字时代，一个更重要的技能是批判性忽略)”和第三段中“According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies.(根据Kozyreva的说法，批判性忽略包括三种策略)”可知，本文主要讨论了在数字时代，需要练习“批判性忽略”技巧。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Imagine a friend has just asked how you’re feeling.

Yet, research shows that understanding your own emotions is essential to maintaining good mental health. ____16____ But it gets easier with practice. Practice daily self-reflection Self-reflection develops emotional awareness and is key to understanding why you feel the way you do. Activities such as journaling can be really beneficial in leaning about your thought processes.

Moreover, it enables you to come up with ways to manage them more effectively. ____19____ Sometimes what you really struggle with is putting your emotions into words. It can be difficult to feel heard by others if you don’t have the language. Try consulting The Emotion Wheel, developed by Dr Robert Plutchick in 1980. ____20____ It gives you a specific name for what you’re feeling, which is an excellent starting point for working through it. Reflecting on the messy and difficult emotions, you can not only find relief from those uncomfortable feelings but bring more joy and fulfillment into your lives too. A. Name what you’re feeling. B. Mask your real emotions. C. Go ahead, and get it all out on paper D. Being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial. E. Being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough. F. It identifies eight primary emotions at the centre of the wheel. G. It’s a process of bringing your attention to the present moment. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. G 19. A 20. F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕如何理解和表达个人情绪这一主题展开，通过提供具体的建议和方法，帮助读者更好地处理和理解自己的情绪，以达到维护良好心理健康的目的。 【16题详解】 根据空后“But it gets easier with practice.(但是练习之后会更容易。)”可推测，空处指的是某件事很难。选项E“Being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough.(第一次对自己诚实可能会很困难。)”指的是一开始对自己诚实很难，和下文内容一致，指的是随着练习，对自己诚实会容易些。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据空前内容“Activities such as journaling can be really beneficial in leaning about your thought processes. Free-writing, where you write out everything that’s on your mind without judgement, can be used to explore deeper into your thoughts and feelings. Think of it like getting into a car and just driving.(写日记之类的活动对了解你的思维过程非常有益。自由写作，就是你不加评判地写下你脑子里的一切，可以用来更深入地探索你的想法和感受。把它想象成钻进一辆车，然后开车。)”可知，上文建议可以将自己的想法写下来。选项C“Go ahead, and get it all out on paper(去吧，把这些都写在纸上)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是可以将心中的想法写下来。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文内容“There are many ways to be mindful, from practising breathwork to sitting in silence Where emotional awareness is concerned, meditation (冥想), which can aid clarity, is recommended. Doing this regularly allows you to be more aware of the source of your emotions.(保持正念的方法有很多，从练习呼吸法到安静地坐着，如果涉及到情绪意识，建议冥想，它可以帮助理清思路。经常这样做可以让你更清楚自己情绪的来源。)”可知，下文讲述的是正念的好处。选项G“It’s a process of bringing your attention to the present moment.(这是一个将你的注意力集中到当下的过程。)”自然引出下文内容，指的是正念可以将注意力集中到当下。故选G。 【19题详解】 空处为小标题，为本段主要内容。根据下文“Sometimes what you really struggle with is putting your emotions into words. It can be difficult to feel heard by others if you don’t have the language.(有时候你真正挣扎的是把你的情绪用语言表达出来。如果你不懂这种语言，别人很难听到你的声音。)”可知，本段讲述的是要用语言表达出自己的情绪。选项A“Name what you’re feeling.(说出你的感受。)”正是本段主要内容的概括。故选A。 【20题详解】 根据空前内容“Try consulting The Emotion Wheel, developed by Dr Robert Plutchick in 1980. (试着咨询一下Robert Plutchick博士在1980年开发的情绪轮。)”可知，想要表达出自己的情绪，可以试试情绪轮。选项F“It identifies eight primary emotions at the centre of the wheel.(它在轮子的中心确定了八种主要的情绪。)”中的“wheel”指的正是上文提到的“The Emotion Wheel”，与上文内容一致。故选F。 第三部分 英语知识运用 (共三节，满分40分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B∈C△D)。选出可填入空白处的最佳选项。 After bringing up three children, Barthorpe decided to do something for herself.

When Dave Tally found a backpack with a laptop and an envelope full of cash in 2010, he could have considered it a very lucky day. The homeless man counted $3,300 in the bag, an amount that would make a huge difference in his life. However, as tempting (诱人的) as it was to keep the money, deep down he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do. Back then, Tally was sleeping in the basements of local churches and trying to save up enough money to fix his only source of transportation: his bike. That money could have bought him, a brand new one. Instead, he turned the bag to his boss at the Tempe Community Action Agency, an organization that helps homeless people in the area find jobs. Tally had been working there part-time. “Finding the envelope with the cash was just exciting. There were lots of crazy thoughts that went through my head,” Tally told ABC News at the time. “I went into the survival mode for a moment, actually more than a moment, thinking about all the things I could do for myself.” “I beat myself up pretty hard for even thinking I would spend one cent of that person’s money,” Tally added. After Tally made up his mind to return the bag, he faced the problem of tracking down its owner. There were no identifiers on the backpack or a way to get into the laptop without a password. But then someone suggested checking the flash drive (闪存盘) that they’d also found inside the bag to see if it held any clues (线索). It sure did. Arizona State University student Bryan Belanger had uploaded his resume (简历) to the drive, easily providing Tally with his contact information. As it turned out, Bryan Belanger was carrying that cash because he was buying a used car from Craigslist website, and he accidentally left his belongings in a station on the way to work. Paragraph 1: Belanger was regretful for his carelessness and thought his backpack was gone forever. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tally said the day he found the money’s rightful owner was the day his life changed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Belanger was regretful for his carelessness and thought his backpack was gone forever. When he saw Tally with his backpack, he was so moved that he offered a cash reward which was turned down by Tally. Meanwhile, Tally’s story made the local news, and strangers began sending him cheques and seeking him out to hand him cash in person. As a result, he had more than enough to fix his bike; what’s more, he was able to use his experience to educate others and change the way people think of homeless people. Paragraph 2: Tally said the day he found the money’s rightful owner was the day his life changed. From then on, people kept sending him donations to the point where he was able to get his own apartment and stop sleeping in church basements. But he never gave up helping people; he gave some of the donations to Tempe Community Action Agency and encouraged people to provide homeless people with more work opportunities. In his efforts, more homeless people found suitable jobs, improved their living conditions, and turned their lives around. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了流浪汉Dave Tally发现了一个背包里有一台笔记本电脑和一个装满现金的信封，他没有选择把钱留下，而是把袋子交给了他在坦佩社区行动机构的老板，这是一个帮助该地区无家可归者找工作的组织。最终找到了物主Bryan Belanger，人们得知Tally的事迹后也开始帮助Tally。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Belanger后悔自己的粗心大意，以为自己的背包再也找不到了”可知，第一段可描写Belanger找回背包后的感受以及Tally开始得到陌生人的资助。 ②由第二段首句内容“Tally说，当他找到这笔钱的真正主人的那天，他的生活发生了改变”可知，第二段可描写Tally的生活发生了怎样的改变以及感悟。 2.续写线索：后悔——找回背包——感动——Tally得到陌生人资助——Tally生活发生改变——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 停止：give up/quit/stop 拒绝：turn down/decline 能够：be able to /be capable of 情绪类 后悔：regretful / repentant 感动：moved /touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] When he saw Tally with his backpack, he was so moved that he offered a cash reward which was turned down by Tally.(运用了when引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] From then on, people kept sending him donations to the point where he was able to get his own apartment and stop sleeping in church basements.

Swimmers. B When US teenager Jake Olson isn’t playing football or golf for his high school, he’s often offering inspiration through his new book about his own life. These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his father’s guidance. It seems obvious that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory — repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature — has also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well. Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was a small baby and finally his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation (动力). “If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasn’t going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasn’t going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said. It was with that state of mind that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “It’s about opening the readers’ eyes to their true potential (潜力) in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said.

C An ocean researcher, Peter Bromirski, at the University of California, San Diego, says waves’ have been getting bigger and stronger since 1970. There are also more big wave events than ever before. A big wave is about four metres tall or more. When large waves reach the coast, they bounce back and run into new waves. The crash sends energy through the ocean floor, where it can be recorded by seismographs (地震仪). Those records allowed Bromirski to decide the strength and size of waves over a period of 90 years. Bromirski said he found the seismographic information by chance. Before the discovery, he said “it was almost impossible” to compare waves from the past with those from the present. It took a lot of work to put the information together. Much of the information was. on paper. Bromirski and his team of student researchers had to enter the information into a computer so they could study the information easily. The slow process took years. They found that the height of most waves in the winter along the California coast had grown by about 30 centimetres since 1970. Starting that year, waves of over 4 metres happened more often as well. Between 1996 and 2016, the large waves happened twice as often as they did from 1949 to 1969. 1970 is the year scientists believe the warming of the planet began to speed up. Bromirski says the new information shows that climate change is making ocean waves taller and stronger. That means they are more likely to harm the coast, roads and buildings. Bromirski said his research may be a warning that bigger and stronger waves are ahead. With more warming, sea levels will rise and waves will get stronger, causing flooding and more damage to land. The California coast has already been damaged by big waves in recent years. 8. What does the underlined phrase “bounce back” mean in paragraph 2? A. Go up. B. Move back. C. Crash out. D. Take over. 9. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Forms of sea waves near the coast. B. Ways the water moves to the shore. C. The way of recording sea wave strength. D. Difference between present and past waves. 10. Why did the researchers enter the information into a computer? A. To examine whether it is correct. B. To use it conveniently in research. C. To share it with other researchers. D. To make sure of information safety. 11. What does Bromirski think of the change in ocean water movement? A. It will cause more serious results. B. It will result in more heavy rain on land. C. It will make climate change for the worse. D. It will bring more risk to human activities at sea. D Before the Internet age, critical thinking was the most important skill of people. But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a famous psychologist, a more important skill is critical ignoring (批判性忽略). As researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our attention. They attract us with many eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can offer us advertisements producing profit (利润). So we are not customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect ourselves from this, Kozyreva calls on us to learn the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers can control their information environment to reduce exposure (接触) to false information. According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our environments, which includes removing low- quality y et hard-to-resist (难以抵制的) information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes.’ Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-catching items are kept out of sight: Like dieting, if one tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, he’ll surely fail. So, it’s better to keep them out of sight at first! The next is to judge the reliability (可靠) of information, whose purpose is to protect you from false information. It can be realized by checking the source in the mainstream, which can be reliable. The last is: “never feed the trolls.” Trolls are some people who spread false information online to cause harm. Do not correct them, because they do not care about whether the information is correct. Annoying others is their goal. So, ignore their bad behaviour. By using the above critical ignoring skills, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being harmed by those who try to control our attention, time, and minds. 12. What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2? A. It offers more information. B. If offers depressing stories. C. It saves time for Internet users. D. It goes after profits from each click. 13. Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3? A. To explain the power of will. B. To prove the benefits of healthy food. C. To show the importance of environments. D. To discuss the quality of information. 14. What should we do to deal with Internet trolls according to the text? A. Review their aim. B. Turn a deaf ear to them. C. Correct their behaviour. D. Send hard facts to them. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Strategies for Internet users to apply critical thinking. B. Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy. C. Practising the skills of critical ignoring in the digital age. D. Increasing the benefits of critical ignoring on the Internet. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Imagine a friend has just asked how you’re feeling.

When Dave Tally found a backpack with a laptop and an envelope full of cash in 2010, he could have considered it a very lucky day. The homeless man counted $3,300 in the bag, an amount that would make a huge difference in his life. However, as tempting (诱人的) as it was to keep the money, deep down he knew it wasn’t the right thing to do. Back then, Tally was sleeping in the basements of local churches and trying to save up enough money to fix his only source of transportation: his bike. That money could have bought him, a brand new one. Instead, he turned the bag to his boss at the Tempe Community Action Agency, an organization that helps homeless people in the area find jobs. Tally had been working there part-time. “Finding the envelope with the cash was just exciting. There were lots of crazy thoughts that went through my head,” Tally told ABC News at the time. “I went into the survival mode for a moment, actually more than a moment, thinking about all the things I could do for myself.” “I beat myself up pretty hard for even thinking I would spend one cent of that person’s money,” Tally added. After Tally made up his mind to return the bag, he faced the problem of tracking down its owner. There were no identifiers on the backpack or a way to get into the laptop without a password. But then someone suggested checking the flash drive (闪存盘) that they’d also found inside the bag to see if it held any clues (线索). It sure did. Arizona State University student Bryan Belanger had uploaded his resume (简历) to the drive, easily providing Tally with his contact information. As it turned out, Bryan Belanger was carrying that cash because he was buying a used car from Craigslist website, and he accidentally left his belongings in a station on the way to work. Paragraph 1: Belanger was regretful for his carelessness and thought his backpack was gone forever. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Tally said the day he found the money’s rightful owner was the day his life changed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1–5 ABABC 6–10 BCCBA 11–15 ACBBC 16–20 CCAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
