Looking for a taste of true Athenian life? Koukaki, a southeast neighborhood of Athens, offers a perfect mix of historic bakeries, cafes, and bars. To fully appreciate it, a few friends and I recently went on an evening tour of Koukaki, under the expert guidance of Theodore.
Our adventure started with Pandora, one of the oldest bakeries in Koukaki, hidden on a narrow street close to the Acropolis. Famous for its heavenly pies, an essential part of the Greek diet, Pandora uses special homemade pastry and prepares them on-site daily. We tried the spinach and cheese and chicken pies, both delicious and a perfect start to our tour.
Next, we visited Pantopolion, a popular local shop that features genuine Greek food specialties and a wide variety of Greek drinks. We were served some Graveira cheese, cold cuts of smoked meat, olives,and the famous alcohol Mastiha
Our third stop was Tavern Thomas, j restaurant that aims to bring back the flavors of Athens from the 1950s. Led by passionate head chef Dimitris Panayiotou, we were treated to some olive oil tasting with home-baked bread and traditional dishes like fava bean puree and zucchini balls. We washed it all down with an excellent local white wine, Malagousia. It was a pleasant experience.
Our tour ended with a sit-down dinner at Dyo Dekares Oka, one of the most comfortable restaurants in Athens. Run by three brothers, it feels more like a gathering of friends and family. We tasted a homemade moussaka, roasted eggplant, and specially-cooked chickpeas. Theodore then took us on a walk through Tsami Karatasou, one of the most beautiful streets in Athens, to admire its classical architecture.
If you want to dig into Greek food culture, this tour is perfect. Remember to come hungry and skip lunch!

When is a shed (小屋) more than just a building? When it’s a potentially life-saving shelter for men who are struggling. That’s the concept)around which the Men’s Sheds movement-led by the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) is designed.
While garden sheds are typically used by individuals for personal projects and the activities there are often done alone, Men’s Sheds are all about social connections and friendship building, as well as sharing skills and knowledge.“We know how well the movement helps with loneliness, social isolation (孤立) and both physical and mental health,” said Rob Lloyd, the UKMSA spokesperson.
Recently, the national finalists in the 2024 Shed of the Year awards were announced, recognizing the groups and individuals that have helped fight loneliness that year. Among the groups is the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed. Simon Rouse, its chairman, talked about their approach: “We’ve been trying to marry two things: capable men who have health problems with challenges that make them realize they are still alive and have a lot to offer.”
He explained that local charities and community groups have long lists of jobs they would love to do but can’t afford. “Our Men’s Shed has well-equipped workshops and skilled men with time on their hands and worries they might want to park for a while,” said Rouse. “If we put the two together, it’s a win for the men, their families, the local charities and community groups. Our members have enjoyed supporting our local community through a variety of things, including repairing electrical equipment, and building a hollow reading tree as well as play equipment for local schools.”
Rouse said that winning the award would be a rich reward for years of intense effort by men who might have thought the best was over for them. “Now we’ll really see what we’re capable of,” he enthused. “The award would give our members another fantastic encouragement for them to continue to spread the word about the value of Men’s Sheds.”
4. What is the main goal of the Men’s Sheds movement?
A. To reach the completion of personal projects.
B. To help men with social and health challenges.
C. To help improve men’s problem-solving skills.
D. To expand the influence of charity organizations.
5. How does the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed help struggling men?
A. By investing in local charities.
B. By upgrading their workshops.
C. By providing medical assistance.
D. By engaging them in voluntary tasks.
6. Why is winning the award significant for the shed members according to Rouse?
A. It guaranteed them more work chances.
B. It improved their financial conditions.
C. It changed their perception of themselves.
D. It enhanced their well-being and reputation.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Garden Sheds for Health.
B. Knowledge Growth Through Men’s Sheds.
C. From Isolation to Inspiration: The Sheds Story.
D. Men’s Sheds: Bridges of Hope and Connection.

C
Noninstrumental information seeking, driven by curiosity, is common in daily life. Previous studies suggest that aging may reduce overall information-seeking behavior and curiosity. However, few studies have examined whether the type of information sought changes with age. Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information-seeking behaviors — specifically, diverse (exploring new topics) or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics) — as they age.
The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79, who selected one of the provided topics. Participants were then presented with short factual statements, followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking) or switch to a new topic (diverse information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics, wished reading each fact and making their choices. Data were collected on how many facts each.
The facts were presented in a random order, and the participants could spend as much time as they participant read, whether they chose to continue reading within a topic or switch, and their self-reported curiosity in the material.
The results revealed significant age-related differences in information-seeking strategies. Older participants read more facts per topic, showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it. In contrast, younger participants exhibited more diverse information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material. For each additional year in age, participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one.
Additionally, the researchers found that participants’ self-reported curiosity were related to their information-seeking choices. Participants who rated themselves as more interested in a fact were more likely to continue within the same topic.
This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning. This consideration has a vast range of potential applications, from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information.
8. Greta’s research focuses on age’s impact on .
A. information processing B. information distribution
C. information-seeking tendency D. information-seeking techniques
9. What were participants required to do in the study?
A. Provide detailed data on a topic. B. Maintain their interest in reading
C. Raise topics they want to explore D. Read information on certain topics.
10. Which best describes the age-related shift in information-seeking behavior?
A. Gradual and steady. B. Random and frequent.
C. Substantial but temporary. D. Unpredictable but measurable.
11. What insight does this study provide?
A. Older people need slower information delivery.
B. Information should be tailored for different ages.
C. Younger adults benefit from in-depth information.
D. Information should be accessible to people of all ages.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项年龄和寻找信息之间联系的研究,解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information-seeking behaviors — specifically, diverse (exploring new topics) or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics) — as they age.(格里塔·法斯特里奇调查了成年人是否会随着年龄的增长表现出不同的信息寻求行为——具体来说,是多样化(探索新话题)还是专一化(加深对熟悉话题的了解))”可知,Greta的研究重点是年龄对信息寻求倾向的影响。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79, who selected one of the provided topics. Participants were then presented with short factual statements, followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking) or switch to a new topic (diverse information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics, wished reading each fact and making their choices. (这项研究涉及498名年龄在12岁到79岁之间的参与者,他们从提供的主题中选择一个。然后向参与者展示简短的事实陈述,然后选择了解更多关于同一主题(特定信息搜索)或切换到一个新主题(多样化信息搜索)。他们可以为每个主题阅读多达10个事实,并在多个主题中阅读多达80个事实,希望阅读每个事实并做出选择)”可知,参与者在研究中被要求阅读特定话题的信息。故选D。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Older participants read more facts per topic, showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it. In contrast, younger participants exhibited more diverse information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material. For each additional year in age, participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one.(年龄较大的参与者在每个主题上阅读的事实更多,他们明显倾向于加深知识而不是拓宽知识相比之下,年轻的参与者表现出更多样化的信息寻求,经常在主题之间切换,以探索更广泛的材料。年龄每增加一岁,参与者就更有可能停留在一个话题上,而不太可能探索一个新的话题)”可知,随着年龄增长,参与者在信息寻求行为上的转变是随着年龄逐年逐渐发生的,即这种转变是“循序渐进”的。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning. This consideration has a vast range of potential applications, from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information.(这意味着新的信息应该如何传达给不同的年龄组,以最好地支持动机学习。这种考虑具有广泛的潜在应用,从教育课程设计到博物馆展览安排,再到提供健康信息)”可知,这项研究表明信息应该根据不同年龄进行定制,以更好地支持有动机的学习,故选B。
D
In most theoretical models examining how reputations impact people’s desire to cooperate with one another, reputations are defined as either good or bad, based on limited information. These models have typically assumed that a single action determines someone’s reputation.
There is a lot of information available about people’s behavior in today’s world, especially with social media. A research by biology professor Jeshua Plotkin’s team showed that looking at multiple actions and forgiving some bad actions is a method of judging behavior that is sufficient to sustain cooperation, a method they call “look twice, forgive once.”
The basic idea in this study is that if you observe two interactions of somebody and at least one of them is an action that you would consider good, then you cooperate with that person, but otherwise you reject them.
The research points out that even if different people in a society subscribe to different standards of judgment, “look twice, forgive once” still generates sufficient consensus to promote cooperation. Plotkin says that this method maintains cooperation without referring to reputations released by public institutions It offers an important alternative when public institutions exist but decrease of trust in them prevents cooperation.
Plotkin says all researchers were surprised that the “look twice, forgive once” strategy couldn’t be displaced by other strategies, such as always cooperating or always rejecting, looking at more than two actions from a person, or forgiving a different proportion of “bad actions”. Perhaps most surprisingly looking more than twice didn’t generate an additional benefit. “Information turned out to be a doubles edged sword, so that even, when information was freely accessible, individuals were typically unable to use all of it,” he adds.
Plotkin notes that the overall simplicity and reliability of their findings indicate that this behavioral strategy might be old in human societies. The researchers see potential for anthropologists (人类学家) and behavioral scientists to build on their work.
12. How does Plotkin’s method of judging behavior-A differ from prior models?
A. It relies mainly on social media.
B. It emphasizes public reputation.
C. It requires less personal information.
D. It takes into account more behaviors.
13. What can be inferred about the “look twice” method?
A. It broadens the definition of reputation.
B. It develops alternative ways to cooperate.
C. It encourages concentration on good behaviors.
D. It aims to provide a solution to social problems.
14. What does the underlined word “consensus” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Agreement.
B. Resources.
C. Motivation.
D. Benefits.
15. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the “look twice” strategy?
A. Its effectiveness.
B. Its application.
C. Its disadvantages.
D. Its influence.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了生物学教授Jeshua Plotkin团队的研究成果。该研究提出了一种新的行为判断方法——“看两次,原谅一次”,即通过观察一个人的多个行为,并原谅其部分不良行为,来决定是否与其合作。研究表明,这种方法在促进合作方面具有显著效果,即使在信息自由获取的情况下,个体通常无法使用所有信息。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“looking at multiple actions and forgiving some bad actions is a method of judging behavior that is sufficient to sustain cooperation, a method they call “look twice, forgive once.” (观察多个行为并原谅一些不良行为是一种足以维持合作的行为判断方法,他们称之为“看两次,原谅一次。”)”可知,Plotkin的方法与之前的模型不同之处在于它考虑了更多的行为。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“ The basic idea in this study is that if you observe two interactions of somebody and at least one of them is an action that you would consider good, then you cooperate with that person, but otherwise you reject them.(这项研究的基本思想是,如果你观察到某人的两次互动,其中至少有一次是你认为好的行为,那么你会与那个人合作,但除此之外,你会拒绝他们。)可知,其规则是 “观察某人的两次互动,若至少一次是你认为的‘好行为’,就与其合作,否则拒绝”。结合选项可知, A(拓宽声誉定义):原文未提及 “拓宽声誉定义”,之前的模型将声誉定义为 “好 / 坏”,而该方法甚至不依赖 “声誉” 判断(第四段),排除; B(发展合作的替代方式):第四段提到该方法是 “不依赖公共机构的替代方案”,而非 “合作方式的替代方案”,偷换概念,排除; C(鼓励关注好行为):该方法的核心是 “只要有一次好行为就合作”,本质是优先关注并认可好行为,符合规则,正确; D(旨在解决社会问题):原文仅提到该方法 “促进合作”,“社会问题” 范围过大,无依据,排除。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第四段“The research points out that even if different people in a society subscribe to different standards of judgment, “look twice, forgive once” still generates sufficient … to promote cooperation. (研究指出,即使社会中不同的人有不同的判断标准,“看两次,原谅一次”仍然能够产生足够的……来促进合作。)”可知划线词上文提到了社会中不同的人有不同的判断标准,划线词下文提到了促进合作,可推理出划线单词“consensus”的意思是“共识”,与A项“Agreement (一致)”含义接近。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Plotkin says all researchers were surprised that the “look twice, forgive once” strategy couldn’t be displaced by other strategies, such as always cooperating or always rejecting, looking at more than two actions from a person, or forgiving a different proportion of “bad actions”. Perhaps most surprisingly looking more than twice didn’t generate an additional benefit. (Plotkin表示,所有研究人员都感到惊讶的是,“看两次,原谅一次”的策略无法被其他策略所取代,例如总是合作或总是拒绝,观察一个人的两个以上的行为,或者原谅不同比例的“不良行为”。也许最令人惊讶的是,观察超过两次并没有带来额外的好处。)”可知本段提到了所有研究人员都感到惊讶的是,“看两次,原谅一次”的策略无法被其他策略所取代。也许最令人惊讶的是,观察超过两次并没有带来额外的好处,可推理出第五段主要讲述了“看两次”策略的有效性。故选A项。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The year her parents decided to break up, Alice began spending a lot of time at the Polka Cafe. It was the only place she could really think, and her mother didn’t seem to mind that she passed much of the summer there.
Two important things had happened before summer began. The first, of course, was that her father had moved out of their house, and the second was that Sarah was no longer her best friend. Alice couldn’t be sure how things had gotten so bad. They had gotten in a fight at school shortly after her parents announced they would no longer be together.
When her friends noticed her dad stopped dropping her off at school each morning, Alice always explained, “My dad is away on business.” She didn’t invite them over to play anymore, either. She made a lot of excuses not to hang out with anyone else. “I have other plans,” she told Sarah.
One day, while they were walking home from school, Sarah said to Alice in a rather annoyed tone, “Alice, what’s going on? Why won’t you talk to me?”
Alice pretended she hadn’t heard Sarah, and continued to walk. She didn’t want to talk to Sarah about this right now. She didn’t want to talk to anyone about this.
“I’m serious, Alice. My mom told me what’s going on,” Sarah said. “I know about your parents.” This stopped Alice in her tracks. It was true they lived in a small town, and secrets didn’t stay secrets for long. But Alice had hoped it would not get out or at least stay hidden long enough for her to figure out how to bring it up. She was embarrassed and hurt. She wanted to tell Sarah when she wanted to.
Alice exploded in anger. “How dare you claim to know anything!” she shouted. “You’re a terrible friend. I never want to speak to you again!”
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。
Now it was August, and Alice sat in the Polka Café, lost in thought.

“I’m sorry too for having shouted at you,” said Alice.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Now it was August, and Alice sat in the Polka Café, lost in thought. The smell of freshly baked bread and the warmth of the café were comforting, but her mind was filled with regret. She missed Sarah. As she stirred her tea absentmindedly, Sarah’s words from that day echoed in her mind. Alice realized Sarah wasn’t trying to hurt her; she was just concerned. With a deep sigh, Alice decided it was time to mend things. The next day, summoning all her courage, Alice called Sarah and asked to meet. To her relief, Sarah agreed.
“I’m sorry too for having shouted at you,” said Alice. Sitting under their old oak tree, Alice confessed everything. She spoke about her parents’ divorce, her feelings of shame, and how she had pushed Sarah away unintentionally. Tears welled up in Sarah’s eyes. “I only wanted to be there for you,” Sarah said softly. They hugged, and Alice felt a weight lift off her chest. That day, they promised to always be honest with each other. For the first time all summer, Alice felt a glimmer of hope and the comfort of true friendship.

Looking for a taste of true Athenian life? Koukaki, a southeast neighborhood of Athens, offers a perfect mix of historic bakeries, cafes, and bars. To fully appreciate it, a few friends and I recently went on an evening tour of Koukaki, under the expert guidance of Theodore.
Our adventure started with Pandora, one of the oldest bakeries in Koukaki, hidden on a narrow street close to the Acropolis. Famous for its heavenly pies, an essential part of the Greek diet, Pandora uses special homemade pastry and prepares them on-site daily. We tried the spinach and cheese and chicken pies, both delicious and a perfect start to our tour.
Next, we visited Pantopolion, a popular local shop that features genuine Greek food specialties and a wide variety of Greek drinks. We were served some Graveira cheese, cold cuts of smoked meat, olives,and the famous alcohol Mastiha
Our third stop was Tavern Thomas, j restaurant that aims to bring back the flavors of Athens from the 1950s. Led by passionate head chef Dimitris Panayiotou, we were treated to some olive oil tasting with home-baked bread and traditional dishes like fava bean puree and zucchini balls. We washed it all down with an excellent local white wine, Malagousia. It was a pleasant experience.
Our tour ended with a sit-down dinner at Dyo Dekares Oka, one of the most comfortable restaurants in Athens. Run by three brothers, it feels more like a gathering of friends and family. We tasted a homemade moussaka, roasted eggplant, and specially-cooked chickpeas. Theodore then took us on a walk through Tsami Karatasou, one of the most beautiful streets in Athens, to admire its classical architecture.

When is a shed (小屋) more than just a building? When it’s a potentially life-saving shelter for men who are struggling. That’s the concept)around which the Men’s Sheds movement-led by the UK Men’s Sheds Association (UKMSA) is designed.
While garden sheds are typically used by individuals for personal projects and the activities there are often done alone, Men’s Sheds are all about social connections and friendship building, as well as sharing skills and knowledge.“We know how well the movement helps with loneliness, social isolation (孤立) and both physical and mental health,” said Rob Lloyd, the UKMSA spokesperson.
Recently, the national finalists in the 2024 Shed of the Year awards were announced, recognizing the groups and individuals that have helped fight loneliness that year. Among the groups is the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed. Simon Rouse, its chairman, talked about their approach: “We’ve been trying to marry two things: capable men who have health problems with challenges that make them realize they are still alive and have a lot to offer.”
He explained that local charities and community groups have long lists of jobs they would love to do but can’t afford. “Our Men’s Shed has well-equipped workshops and skilled men with time on their hands and worries they might want to park for a while,” said Rouse. “If we put the two together, it’s a win for the men, their families, the local charities and community groups. Our members have enjoyed supporting our local community through a variety of things, including repairing electrical equipment, and building a hollow reading tree as well as play equipment for local schools.”
Rouse said that winning the award would be a rich reward for years of intense effort by men who might have thought the best was over for them. “Now we’ll really see what we’re capable of,” he enthused. “The award would give our members another fantastic encouragement for them to continue to spread the word about the value of Men’s Sheds.”
4. What is the main goal of the Men’s Sheds movement?
A. To reach the completion of personal projects.
B. To help men with social and health challenges.
C. To help improve men’s problem-solving skills.
D. To expand the influence of charity organizations.
5. How does the Shrewsbury Men’s Shed help struggling men?
A. By investing in local charities.
B. By upgrading their workshops.
C. By providing medical assistance.
D. By engaging them in voluntary tasks.
6. Why is winning the award significant for the shed members according to Rouse?
A. It guaranteed them more work chances.
B. It improved their financial conditions.
C. It changed their perception of themselves.
D. It enhanced their well-being and reputation.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Rise of Garden Sheds for Health.
B. Knowledge Growth Through Men’s Sheds.
C. From Isolation to Inspiration: The Sheds Story.
D. Men’s Sheds: Bridges of Hope and Connection.

Noninstrumental information seeking, driven by curiosity, is common in daily life. Previous studies suggest that aging may reduce overall information-seeking behavior and curiosity. However, few studies have examined whether the type of information sought changes with age. Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information-seeking behaviors — specifically, diverse (exploring new topics) or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics) — as they age.
The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79, who selected one of the provided topics. Participants were then presented with short factual statements, followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking) or switch to a new topic (diverse information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics, wished reading each fact and making their choices. Data were collected on how many facts each.
The facts were presented in a random order, and the participants could spend as much time as they participant read, whether they chose to continue reading within a topic or switch, and their self-reported curiosity in the material.
The results revealed significant age-related differences in information-seeking strategies. Older participants read more facts per topic, showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it. In contrast, younger participants exhibited more diverse information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material. For each additional year in age, participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one.
Additionally, the researchers found that participants’ self-reported curiosity were related to their information-seeking choices. Participants who rated themselves as more interested in a fact were more likely to continue within the same topic.
This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning. This consideration has a vast range of potential applications, from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information.
8. Greta’s research focuses on age’s impact on .
A. information processing B. information distribution
C. information-seeking tendency D. information-seeking techniques
9. What were participants required to do in the study?
A. Provide detailed data on a topic. B. Maintain their interest in reading
C. Raise topics they want to explore D. Read information on certain topics.
10. Which best describes the age-related shift in information-seeking behavior?
A. Gradual and steady. B. Random and frequent.
C. Substantial but temporary. D. Unpredictable but measurable.
11. What insight does this study provide?
A. Older people need slower information delivery.
B. Information should be tailored for different ages.
C. Younger adults benefit from in-depth information.
D. Information should be accessible to people of all ages.
D
In most theoretical models examining how reputations impact people’s desire to cooperate with one another, reputations are defined as either good or bad, based on limited information. These models have typically assumed that a single action determines someone’s reputation.
There is a lot of information available about people’s behavior in today’s world, especially with social media. A research by biology professor Jeshua Plotkin’s team showed that looking at multiple actions and forgiving some bad actions is a method of judging behavior that is sufficient to sustain cooperation, a method they call “look twice, forgive once.”
The basic idea in this study is that if you observe two interactions of somebody and at least one of them is an action that you would consider good, then you cooperate with that person, but otherwise you reject them.
The research points out that even if different people in a society subscribe to different standards of judgment, “look twice, forgive once” still generates sufficient consensus to promote cooperation. Plotkin says that this method maintains cooperation without referring to reputations released by public institutions It offers an important alternative when public institutions exist but decrease of trust in them prevents cooperation.
Plotkin says all researchers were surprised that the “look twice, forgive once” strategy couldn’t be displaced by other strategies, such as always cooperating or always rejecting, looking at more than two actions from a person, or forgiving a different proportion of “bad actions”. Perhaps most surprisingly looking more than twice didn’t generate an additional benefit. “Information turned out to be a doubles edged sword, so that even, when information was freely accessible, individuals were typically unable to use all of it,” he adds.
Plotkin notes that the overall simplicity and reliability of their findings indicate that this behavioral strategy might be old in human societies. The researchers see potential for anthropologists (人类学家) and behavioral scientists to build on their work.
12. How does Plotkin’s method of judging behavior-A differ from prior models?
A. It relies mainly on social media.
B. It emphasizes public reputation.
C. It requires less personal information.
D. It takes into account more behaviors.
13. What can be inferred about the “look twice” method?
A. It broadens the definition of reputation.
B. It develops alternative ways to cooperate.
C. It encourages concentration on good behaviors.
D. It aims to provide a solution to social problems.
14. What does the underlined word “consensus” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Agreement.
B. Resources.
C. Motivation.
D. Benefits.
15. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the “look twice” strategy?
A. Its effectiveness.
B. Its application.
C. Its disadvantages.
D. Its influence.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The year her parents decided to break up, Alice began spending a lot of time at the Polka Cafe. It was the only place she could really think, and her mother didn’t seem to mind that she passed much of the summer there.
Two important things had happened before summer began. The first, of course, was that her father had moved out of their house, and the second was that Sarah was no longer her best friend. Alice couldn’t be sure how things had gotten so bad. They had gotten in a fight at school shortly after her parents announced they would no longer be together.
When her friends noticed her dad stopped dropping her off at school each morning, Alice always explained, “My dad is away on business.” She didn’t invite them over to play anymore, either. She made a lot of excuses not to hang out with anyone else. “I have other plans,” she told Sarah.
One day, while they were walking home from school, Sarah said to Alice in a rather annoyed tone, “Alice, what’s going on? Why won’t you talk to me?”
Alice pretended she hadn’t heard Sarah, and continued to walk. She didn’t want to talk to Sarah about this right now. She didn’t want to talk to anyone about this.
“I’m serious, Alice. My mom told me what’s going on,” Sarah said. “I know about your parents.” This stopped Alice in her tracks. It was true they lived in a small town, and secrets didn’t stay secrets for long. But Alice had hoped it would not get out or at least stay hidden long enough for her to figure out how to bring it up. She was embarrassed and hurt. She wanted to tell Sarah when she wanted to.
Alice exploded in anger. “How dare you claim to know anything!” she shouted. “You’re a terrible friend. I never want to speak to you again!”
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。
Now it was August, and Alice sat in the Polka Café, lost in thought.

“I’m sorry too for having shouted at you,” said Alice.
