Complete with a complex network of farmland and roads, the discovery is the oldest and largest of its kind in the region. Located in Ecuador’s Upano Valley, the structures lie in the eastern foothills of the Andes mountains. After more than 20 years of research, the ancient urban centers were only discovered when the Ecuadorean government employed lidar (激光雷达) technology. “I have explored the site many times, but lidar gave me another view of the land,” archaeologist Stéphen Rostain, lead author of the study and director of research at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), told Live Science. “On foot, you have trees in the way, and it’s difficult to see what’s actually hidden there.” A team of researchers from France, Germany, Ecuador and Puerto Rico conducted a lidar survey that covered roughly 300 km2. The survey revealed a landscape full of organized human activities, including more than 6,000 rectangular earthen platforms, as well as agricultural terraces and drainage systems. According to the study, these structures formed at least 15 distinct settlements, which were connected by a system of wide, straight roads. Co-author Antoine Dorison, an archaeologist at the CNRS, said that this society’s complexity is especially evident in this web of streets, which were carefully constructed to cross at right angles rather than follow the landscape. In recent years, lidar has been a vital tool for discovering traces of ancient civilizations. Lidar allows researchers to survey thickly-forested areas that are difficult to explore on foot and allows for the creation of accurate maps in a fraction of the time. In August 2023, a team of researchers in a biological preserve in Mexico’s Campeche State used airborne lasers to cut through dense vegetation. This revealed ancient structures and human-modified landscapes beneath, including pyramids, palaces, and a ball court. The team was able to explore the dense area safely and identified the ancient Mayan city they discovered as Ocomtún. 1. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. Lidar Reveals Lost Cities in the Amazon B. Lidar Is Used in Exploring Civilizations C. Ancient Cities Will Take on a New Look D. A Lidar Survey Was Jointly Conducted 2. What do we know about the ancient cities? A. They have a history of over 3,000 years. B. They are covered with some thick forests. C. They were highly developed in agriculture. D. They were divided into fifteen settlements. 3. What shows the settlements’ complexity according to Antoine Dorison? A. The wide and straight roads. B. The layout of the landscape. C. The well-organized road system. D. The design of right angles. 4. In which column of a website can the text appear? A. Geography. B. Environment. C. Economy. D. Culture. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述考古学家在厄瓜多尔的亚马逊雨林中发现了高度复杂的古代城市系统，这一发现依赖于激光雷达技术。 【1题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Archaeologists have discovered a vast and highly complex system of ancient cities dating back nearly 3,000 years in the Amazon rainforest.(考古学家在亚马逊雨林中发现了一个庞大而高度复杂的古城系统，其历史可以追溯到近3000年前)”和第二段 “After more than 20 years of research, the ancient urban centers were only discovered when the Ecuadorean government employed lidar (激光雷达) technology.(经过20多年的研究，当厄瓜多尔政府使用激光雷达技术时，才发现了古代城市中心)”可知，文章主要讲述考古学家在厄瓜多尔的亚马逊雨林中发现了高度复杂的古代城市系统，这一发现依赖于激光雷达技术。A选项“Lidar Reveals Lost Cities in the Amazon(激光雷达揭示亚马逊失落城市)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On foot, you have trees in the way, and it’s difficult to see what’s actually hidden there.(走路时，路上有树，很难看清到底藏着什么)”可知，考古学家发现了隐藏在茂密森林下的古城。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Co-author Antoine Dorison, an archaeologist at the CNRS, said that this society’s complexity is especially evident in this web of streets, which were carefully constructed to cross at right angles rather than follow the landscape.(研究的合著者兼法国国家科学研究中心考古学家Antoine Dorison说，这个社会的复杂性尤其体现在这张街道网络上，它们是精心建造成直角交叉的，而不是随地形而建)”可推知，这个聚落的复杂性体现在他们精心组织的道路系统上。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Archaeologists have discovered a vast and highly complex system of ancient cities dating back nearly 3,000 years in the Amazon rainforest.(考古学家在亚马逊雨林中发现了一个庞大而高度复杂的古城系统，其历史可以追溯到近3000年前)”和第二段 “After more than 20 years of research, the ancient urban centers were only discovered when the Ecuadorean government employed lidar (激光雷达) technology.(经过20多年的研究，当厄瓜多尔政府使用激光雷达技术时，才发现了古代城市中心)”可知，文章主要讲述考古学家在厄瓜多尔的亚马逊雨林中发现了高度复杂的古代城市系统，这一发现依赖于激光雷达技术，这是一个与文化遗产相关的话题，因此文章内容更适合出现在文化栏目下。故选D。 B First-Year Learning Community Making the jump from high school to university is exciting but sometimes a little challenging.

The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students. “We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. “I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect.” The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. When a robot arrives, people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food. There are some limitations for now. The robots have to be recharged regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcoming them. Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time. Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down. 8. What do we know about robot food delivery? A. The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery. B. Only pizza can be delivered by robots to students. C. The pandemic has changed the way of food delivery. D Robots are very popular among university students. 9. What can we infer from the operation of the robots? A. They are operated by a high level of intelligence. B. The robots run at a high speed on the street. C. The customers can take the food when the robots arrive without anything. D. The operators use a code to control the robots. 10. What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim? A Longer distances to travel. B. More than one order per trip. C. Lower costs than drivers. D. High speeds and exact delivery. 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Robots has increased business of restaurants. B. The pandemic affected people’s daily life. C. Scientists are making new types of robots. D. Robot food delivery is increasing greatly. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了机器人送餐服务正在大幅增加的情况。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. (Alastair Westgarth说：“我们看到对机器人的使用需求正在飙升。”)”以及“I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect. (我认为这种需求一直存在，但它是由疫情影响带来的。)”可知，新冠疫情期间，机器人送餐服务大幅增长。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. (这些机器人使用摄像头、传感器和GPS来移动，甚至以每小时8公里的速度自己过马路。操作员同时监视几个机器人，但他们说他们几乎不需要停止或移动它们绕过障碍物。)”可知，它们被高水平的智能所控制。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. (比起快递公司，Kim更喜欢机器人，因为快递公司收费更高，如果没有足够的司机，有时还会取消订单。)”可知，Ji Hye Kim认为机器人送餐的优势是成本比司机低。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段中“Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students. (数以百计的小机器人正在美国、中国和其他地方的大学和城市里行走。这些机器人大约50厘米高，正在给饥饿的学生送去像披萨这样的食物。)”和第二段中““We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. (Alastair Westgarth说：“我们看到对机器人的使用需求正在飙升。”)”可知，这篇文章主要讲的是机器人送餐在美国、中国等地大学和城市中的普及和增长情况，因此最适合的标题是D选项“Robot food delivery is increasing greatly (机器人送餐大幅增长)”。故选D。 D Many years ago, I got drunk. The next morning, I told my dad what happened. “We had some wine at the restaurant”, I said, “and then some beer. It doesn’t seem enough for me to feel this bad.” My dad said something I carry with me to this day, “Beer before wine and you’ll feel fine; wine before beer and you’ll feel queer (奇怪的).” Out of all the many pieces of advice my father handed down over the years, only a few stick in my memory. And those are the ones that rhyme. This is known as the “rhyme-as-reason effect”, a cognitive (认知的) phenomenon with lots of real-life, practical application. There’s a strange fact: You might be able to remember all the lines of the song from your childhood, yet you can’t remember something that happened last week. When we use rhymes, we break down details into something that can more easily be stored and recovered. We often judge rhymes more favorably. Friedrich Nietzsche was a big fan of aphorisms (格言). He wrote a series of books entirely in aphorisms because he knew that a well-organized turn of phrase cut into your understanding far quicker than essays. He expressed in one of his books, “We sometimes consider an idea truer simply because it rhymes and presents itself with a brilliant skip and jump.” Two psychologists, Matthew McGlone and Jessica Tofighbakhsh, investigated this phenomenon. They presented their participants with a series of aphorisms — some are rhymed; others not. They discovered that not only did participants aesthetically (审美上) prefer the rhymed sentences, but they more often considered them more accurate. Despite participants agreeing that aesthetic qualities don’t represent truth, they couldn’t avoid their own prejudice. This led the team to remember the poet John Keats’ line: “Beauty is truth; truth beauty.” There are two important lessons to learn from this. The first is that rhyming makes for long-term memory. If you want to remember it, rhyme it. The second is that rhyming doesn’t equal accuracy. My dad’s wisdom might sound neat but it is based on insufficient evidence. Keep in mind that a nice turn of phrase isn’t necessarily better than an awkward one. 12. What can we know about the “rhyme-as-reason effect”? A. It conveys a deeper meaning. B. It is less frequently used nowadays. C. It makes information more memorable. D. It is inconsistent with childhood memories. 13. Why does the author mention Friedrich Nietzsche in paragraph 3? A. To prove the influence of his writings. B. To illustrate people’s preference for rhymes. C. To show the complexity of his writing style. D. To encourage the wide use of rhymes and aphorisms. 14. What can be concluded from Matthew and Jessica’s findings? A. Aesthetic qualities help clarify the fact. B. People tend to ignore precision in rhymes. C Rhymed sentences are usually less trustworthy. D. Aesthetic qualities likely conflict with people’s judgments. 15. What message does the author want to convey at the end of the text? A. Treat rhymes with a wise mind. B. Make good use of factual information. C. Respect the wisdom of our old generations. D. Focus on the improvement of long-term memory. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了“押韵即理由效应”（rhyme-as-reason effect）这一认知现象，分析了押韵如何使信息更易于记忆以及人们为何倾向于认为押韵的句子更准确，并指出要理性对待押韵信息。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句话“When we use rhymes, we break down details into something that can more easily be stored and recovered. (使用韵律时，我们会将细节分解成更容易存储和回忆的内容)”可知，“押韵即理由效应”（rhyme-as-reason effect）是说利用韵律，细节变得具体化，更容易让人记住信息。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段落第二、三句“Friedrich Nietzsche was a big fan of aphorisms (格言). He wrote a series of books entirely in aphorisms because he knew that a well-organized turn of phrase cut into your understanding far quicker than essays. (弗里德里希·尼采非常喜欢格言。他写了一系列完全由格言组成的书，因为他知道，一个精心组织的短语比长篇大论更能让人迅速理解其含义)”可知，作者以哲学家尼采进行举例，说明人们喜欢韵律已经达到可以写全是由格言组成的书的程度。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第三、四句“They discovered that not only did participants aesthetically (审美上) prefer the rhymed sentences, but they more often considered them more accurate. Despite participants agreeing that aesthetic qualities don’t represent truth, they couldn’t avoid their own prejudice. (他们发现，参与者不仅在审美上更喜欢押韵的句子，而且更频繁地认为这些句子更准确。尽管参与者同意审美质量不代表真实，但他们无法避免自己的偏见)”可知，参与者意识到审美不代表真实，但仍会受审美的影响，从而做出非理性的判断。由此推知，审美质量可能与人们的判断冲突。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第四、五句“The second is that rhyming doesn’t equal accuracy. My dad’s wisdom might sound neat but it is based on insufficient evidence. (第二点是，押韵并不等于准确。我爸的智慧听起来很巧妙，但它证据不足)”可推知，作者在这里想要友善地提醒读者，押韵虽使人们容易记住东西，但它不一定准确，要理性对待押韵。故选A项。 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Many people want to know when they are meeting or going beyond expectations for their job performance. ____16____ This recognition usually comes from an employee’s coworkers, manager or department supervisor (主管).

He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously, but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping crazily, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings. The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting (蜇,叮)! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him, “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.” On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” However, the bees were ceaseless, and Andy knew he wouldn’t make it to the house in time. The swarm was gaining on him, and he could feel their presence growing closer with every passing second. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon, and he had to think of something fast. His mind raced as fast as his legs, searching for a solution, a way to outsmart the bees and save himself from another trip to the hospital. 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。 Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small pool used to irrigate his vegetable garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ His mother laughed with relief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small pool used to irrigate his vegetable garden. He was puffing and panting, trying to speed up but his strength had run out. He couldn’t think straight! Quickly, he jumped off his bike and dived into the cool water, disappearing below the surface and away from the aggressive insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, he came up for fresh air and searched the sky. No sign of bees. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up and made it to the Nelson’s house. Seeing Andy wet through from head to toe, Mrs. Nelson jumped a mile and her mouth was wide open in amazement. After learning the whole story, she called Andy’s mother. His mother laughed with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic! You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover.” Feeling a ton lighter, Andy burst out laughing, “You never know that my legs are still shaky from the narrow escape. The bees had me cornered and I had to figure a way out using my intelligence. My father may take pride in me too!” After hanging up the phone, he was the energetic Andy again and it seemed that all his fear and panic had been carried away by the wind! He can’t help thinking about his fishing trip with his father the next day! 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Andy在骑上学路上，沉迷于幻想第二天的钓鱼旅行，却意外遭遇一群蜜蜂的追击。在恐慌中，他回忆起父亲的话，努力保持冷静并寻找逃脱方法。最终，他注意到附近Nelson家烟囱冒出的烟，想到蜜蜂不喜欢烟，于是朝那个方向逃去，最终通过跳进Ne1son家水池成功逃脱蜜蜂的追击。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“突然，Andy用眼角的余光瞥见了Nelson先生用来灌溉菜园的一个小水池。”可知，第一段可描写Andy为了逃脱蜜蜂的追击跳进Ne1son家小水池摆脱蜜蜂的过程以，后来遇到Nelson夫人并告诉她事情经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“Andy的母亲如释重负地笑了。”可知，第二段可描写Andy与妈妈的取得联系告知经过，以及Andy经历此事之后的感悟。 2. 续写线索：跳水池自救一一遇到Nelson夫人一一描述经过一一与妈妈联系一一如释重负一一感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：disappear→fade away ②突然大笑：burst out laughing→burst into laughter ③帮助：help→assist 情绪类 ①惊讶地：in amazement→in astonishment ②以……为骄傲：take pride in→be proud of 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing Andy wet through from head to toe, Mrs. Nelson jumped a mile and her mouth was wide open in amazement.

Complete with a complex network of farmland and roads, the discovery is the oldest and largest of its kind in the region. Located in Ecuador’s Upano Valley, the structures lie in the eastern foothills of the Andes mountains. After more than 20 years of research, the ancient urban centers were only discovered when the Ecuadorean government employed lidar (激光雷达) technology. “I have explored the site many times, but lidar gave me another view of the land,” archaeologist Stéphen Rostain, lead author of the study and director of research at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), told Live Science. “On foot, you have trees in the way, and it’s difficult to see what’s actually hidden there.” A team of researchers from France, Germany, Ecuador and Puerto Rico conducted a lidar survey that covered roughly 300 km2. The survey revealed a landscape full of organized human activities, including more than 6,000 rectangular earthen platforms, as well as agricultural terraces and drainage systems. According to the study, these structures formed at least 15 distinct settlements, which were connected by a system of wide, straight roads. Co-author Antoine Dorison, an archaeologist at the CNRS, said that this society’s complexity is especially evident in this web of streets, which were carefully constructed to cross at right angles rather than follow the landscape. In recent years, lidar has been a vital tool for discovering traces of ancient civilizations. Lidar allows researchers to survey thickly-forested areas that are difficult to explore on foot and allows for the creation of accurate maps in a fraction of the time. In August 2023, a team of researchers in a biological preserve in Mexico’s Campeche State used airborne lasers to cut through dense vegetation. This revealed ancient structures and human-modified landscapes beneath, including pyramids, palaces, and a ball court. The team was able to explore the dense area safely and identified the ancient Mayan city they discovered as Ocomtún. 1. Which is a suitable title for the text? A.

B First-Year Learning Community Making the jump from high school to university is exciting but sometimes a little challenging. To make university life easier, all first-year Rotman Commerce students are automatically involved in a First-Year Learning Community, or FYLC for short. Learning Community Structure FYLC is a co-curricular program—meaning that it’s not for credits. There’s no homework and no pressure. It’s just a way for us to support your success in first year by helping you develop skills and make connections. Even though it’s not for credits, it is an essential part of your first year at Rotman Commerce and you will receive a notation (评注) on your academic record upon completion! Each FYLC has between 25 to 30 members and is a great way to meet your classmates, staff and external experts, make friends, form study groups and develop academic and personal skills. You’ll also get an introduction to the resources, opportunities, culture and benefits of the campus and its surrounding community—all in a relaxed, student-led atmosphere. The mentors (导师) lead the FYLC — they’re third and fourth-year Rotman Commerce students who have been in your shoes and know what it’s like to be in first year. They want to help you make friends in your classes, so you’ll always know people who can support you in your studies! Schedule Your FYLC group will meet every other week.

C Hundreds of little robots are rolling around colleges and cities in the United States, China and elsewhere. The robots, about 50 centimeters tall, are bringing food like pizza to hungry students. “We saw demand for robot usage just go through the ceiling,” said Alastair Westgarth. He is the head of Starship Technologies, whose robots recently made their 2 millionth delivery. “I think the demand is always there, but it was brought forward by the pandemic effect.” The robots use cameras, sensors and GPS to move around and even cross streets on their own at the speed of 8 kilometers per hour. Operators keep watch on several robots at a time but they say they rarely need to stop or move them around a barrier. When a robot arrives, people enter a code from their phones to open the robot and get their food. There are some limitations for now. The robots have to be recharged regularly. They are slow and cannot travel far. They will not leave food at the door. And big cities like New York and Beijing are not welcoming them. Ji Hye Kim is chef of Miss Kim Restaurant in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She used robot delivery when her dining room was closed last year. Kim prefers robots to delivery companies which charge more and sometimes cancel orders if they do not have enough drivers. Delivery companies also group several orders per trip, she said, so food sometimes arrives cold. Robots take just one order at a time. Denis Maloney is vice president at Domino’s Pizza. His company is testing robots from Nuro, a California-based company. The robots are about 1.8 meters tall and can travel at a top speed of 40 kilometers on streets, not sidewalks. Maloney said delivery from Nuro costs more than using human drivers for now. But as the technology scales up and gets more refined, the costs will go down. 8. What do we know about robot food delivery? A. The pandemic saw sharp growth of robot food delivery. B. Only pizza can be delivered by robots to students. C. The pandemic has changed the way of food delivery. D. Robots are very popular among university students. 9. What can we infer from the operation of the robots? A. They are operated by a high level of intelligence. B. The robots run at a high speed on the street. C The customers can take the food when the robots arrive without anything. D. The operators use a code to control the robots. 10. What is the advantage of robot food delivery according to Ji Hye Kim? A. Longer distances to travel. B. More than one order per trip. C. Lower costs than drivers. D. High speeds and exact delivery. 11. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Robots has increased business of restaurants. B. The pandemic affected people’s daily life. C. Scientists are making new types of robots. D. Robot food delivery is increasing greatly. D Many years ago, I got drunk. The next morning, I told my dad what happened. “We had some wine at the restaurant”, I said, “and then some beer. It doesn’t seem enough for me to feel this bad.” My dad said something I carry with me to this day, “Beer before wine and you’ll feel fine; wine before beer and you’ll feel queer (奇怪的).” Out of all the many pieces of advice my father handed down over the years, only a few stick in my memory. And those are the ones that rhyme. This is known as the “rhyme-as-reason effect”, a cognitive (认知的) phenomenon with lots of real-life, practical application. There’s a strange fact: You might be able to remember all the lines of the song from your childhood, yet you can’t remember something that happened last week. When we use rhymes, we break down details into something that can more easily be stored and recovered. We often judge rhymes more favorably. Friedrich Nietzsche was a big fan of aphorisms (格言). He wrote a series of books entirely in aphorisms because he knew that a well-organized turn of phrase cut into your understanding far quicker than essays. He expressed in one of his books, “We sometimes consider an idea truer simply because it rhymes and presents itself with a brilliant skip and jump.” Two psychologists, Matthew McGlone and Jessica Tofighbakhsh, investigated this phenomenon. They presented their participants with a series of aphorisms — some are rhymed; others not. They discovered that not only did participants aesthetically (审美上) prefer the rhymed sentences, but they more often considered them more accurate. Despite participants agreeing that aesthetic qualities don’t represent truth, they couldn’t avoid their own prejudice. This led the team to remember the poet John Keats’ line: “Beauty is truth; truth beauty.” There are two important lessons to learn from this. The first is that rhyming makes for long-term memory. If you want to remember it, rhyme it. The second is that rhyming doesn’t equal accuracy. My dad’s wisdom might sound neat but it is based on insufficient evidence. Keep in mind that a nice turn of phrase isn’t necessarily better than an awkward one. 12. What can we know about the “rhyme-as-reason effect”? A. It conveys a deeper meaning. B. It is less frequently used nowadays. C. It makes information more memorable. D. It is inconsistent with childhood memories. 13. Why does the author mention Friedrich Nietzsche in paragraph 3? A. To prove the influence of his writings. B. To illustrate people’s preference for rhymes. C. To show the complexity of his writing style. D. To encourage the wide use of rhymes and aphorisms. 14. What can be concluded from Matthew and Jessica’s findings? A. Aesthetic qualities help clarify the fact. B. People tend to ignore precision in rhymes. C. Rhymed sentences are usually less trustworthy. D Aesthetic qualities likely conflict with people’s judgments. 15 What message does the author want to convey at the end of the text? A. Treat rhymes with a wise mind. B. Make good use of factual information. C. Respect the wisdom of our old generations. D. Focus on the improvement of long-term memory. 第二节七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，共12.5分) Many people want to know when they are meeting or going beyond expectations for their job performance. ____16____ This recognition usually comes from an employee’s coworkers, manager or department supervisor (主管).

He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange sound drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked and terrified him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like a black cloud and the buzzing mass seemed to be heading angrily towards him. With no time to waste, Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously, but without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping crazily, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings. The last sting had landed him in hospital and that was only one bee sting (蜇,叮)! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him, “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your way out of it.” On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.” However, the bees were ceaseless, and Andy knew he wouldn’t make it to the house in time. The swarm was gaining on him, and he could feel their presence growing closer with every passing second. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon, and he had to think of something fast. His mind raced as fast as his legs, searching for a solution, a way to outsmart the bees and save himself from another trip to the hospital. 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。 Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small pool used to irrigate his vegetable garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ His mother laughed with relief. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. 假定你是李华。你校近期开展了丰富的课间体育活动，大大提高了同学们课间参与体育运动的热情。请根据下面提示，写一篇英语短文。 1.介绍基本情况； 2.你最喜欢的课间体育运动及原因； 3.你的期望。 注意： 1词数80左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 Various sports activities between classes are in full swing in our school.…… _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
