You’re lying on the sofa and feeling bored. Then you start watching short videos on your phone. The first one is about a dog. It is not interesting, so you move on to another. You keep switching (切换) videos and hope to find something more interesting. But it doesn’t make you feel less bored. In fact, scientists find that switching from one video to another will add feeling of boredom and make you feel even worse.
▲ In the study, people watched short videos in two different ways. In the first way, they could switch videos if they didn’t like the one playing. However, in the second way, they had to finish watching one video before moving to the next. The results were surprising. When people could switch videos freely, they actually felt more bored. But when they couldn’t switch and had to fully focus (关注) on one video, they enjoyed it much more.
Sam Green is one of the experts in the study. He says switching videos very often can make watching experience meaningless. That’s because people don’t have time to think and take in. “If people want a more delightful experience when watching, they must try to truly enjoy what they watch and refuse video switching,” Sam says. “Just like paying for a great movie experience in a theater, we often enjoy the videos more when we watch them fully instead of switching from one video to another.”
31. How will people feel if they switch videos too often?
A. Happy. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D. Bored.
32. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in paragraph 2?

B. Scientists did a study with over 600 people in 2022.
C. Scientists believed many people had such feelings.
D. Scientists found that watching videos helped to relax.
33. Video switching makes watching experience meaningless because ________.
A. people forget what they watch easily
B. people can’t find fun videos to watch
C. people have little time to think and take in
D. people will miss the important information
34. What does the underlined word “delightful” mean?

35. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Interesting Short Videos Online
B. Boredom from Video Switching
C. Advice on Choosing Short Videos
D. Different Video Watching Experiences

五、读写综合(本大题分为A、B两部分,共25分)
A 回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
We make decisions every day. But sometimes it can be hard to make a good decision. What problems are stopping us from reaching better results?
· Perfectionism (完美主义)
For perfectionists, it’s difficult to make decisions because they try to find the best answer to every question. If they can’t find one, they are unable to move forward.
· Bias (偏见)
Bias results in poor decisions. People with bias think in a way that is not fair (公平). They usually make decisions that only make them feel good about themselves. However, these decisions might not be the best for others.
Here are some tips to solve these problems.
· For perfectionists, setting a right resolution is much more important than finding the only best one. No one can make perfect decisions all the time. All we can do is to make a right decision by using the information we have at the time.
· For people with bias, the most important thing is to know that everyone has a bias in the first place. To do this, we can think back to our past decisions. Asking for ideas from others also helps.
51. What problems are stopping people from making good decisions?
___________________________________
52. Why is it difficult for perfectionists to make decisions?
___________________________________
53. What kind of decisions do biased people usually make?
___________________________________
54. How can perfectionists make a right decision?
___________________________________
55 What is the most important thing for people with bias?

B.书面表达
请根据要求完成短文写作。

You’re lying on the sofa and feeling bored. Then you start watching short videos on your phone. The first one is about a dog. It is not interesting, so you move on to another. You keep switching (切换) videos and hope to find something more interesting. But it doesn’t make you feel less bored. In fact, scientists find that switching from one video to another will add feeling of boredom and make you feel even worse.
▲ In the study, people watched short videos in two different ways. In the first way, they could switch videos if they didn’t like the one playing. However, in the second way, they had to finish watching one video before moving to the next. The results were surprising. When people could switch videos freely, they actually felt more bored. But when they couldn’t switch and had to fully focus (关注) on one video, they enjoyed it much more.
Sam Green is one of the experts in the study. He says switching videos very often can make watching experience meaningless. That’s because people don’t have time to think and take in. “If people want a more delightful experience when watching, they must try to truly enjoy what they watch and refuse video switching,” Sam says. “Just like paying for a great movie experience in a theater, we often enjoy the videos more when we watch them fully instead of switching from one video to another.”
31. How will people feel if they switch videos too often?
A. Happy. B. Surprised. C. Angry. D. Bored.
32. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in paragraph 2?
A. Scientists advised people to fully enjoy the video.
B. Scientists did a study with over 600 people in 2022.
C. Scientists believed many people had such feelings.
D. Scientists found that watching videos helped to relax.
33. Video switching makes watching experience meaningless because ________.
A. people forget what they watch easily
B. people can’t find fun videos to watch
C. people have little time to think and take in
D. people will miss the important information
34. What does the underlined word “delightful” mean?
A. Enjoyable. B. Creative. C. Dangerous. D. Terrible.
35. Which can be the best title for the passage?
A. Interesting Short Videos Online
B. Boredom from Video Switching
C. Advice on Choosing Short Videos
D. Different Video Watching Experiences
【答案】31. D 32. B 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述的是频繁切换视频会增加无聊感和负面影响。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“You keep switching (切换) videos and hope to find something more interesting... will add feeling of boredom and make you feel even worse.”可知,频繁切换视频会让人更加无聊。故选D。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In the study, people watched short videos in two different ways.”可知,提到了人们用两种不同的方式观看短视频的研究。选项B“2022年,科学家对600多人进行了一项研究。”符合语境。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“He says switching videos very often can make watching experience meaningless. That’s because people don’t have time to think and take in.”可知,频繁切换视频会让观看体验变得毫无意义,因为人们没时间去思考或吸收内容。故选C。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据“If people want a more delightful experience when watching, they must try to truly enjoy what they watch and refuse video switching,”可知,真正享受观看的内容并拒绝视频切换,是为了获得“更愉快”的观看体验。故划线单词“delightful”意为“愉快的”,与“Enjoyable”意思相近。故选A。
【35题详解】
最佳标题题。通读全文可知,本文主要讲述的是频繁切换视频会增加无聊感和负面影响,因此选项B“视频切换带来的无聊感”是最佳标题。故选B。
C

五、读写综合(本大题分为A、B两部分,共25分)
A. 回答问题
请阅读下面这篇文章,根据所提供的信息,回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整切题。
We make decisions every day. But sometimes it can be hard to make a good decision. What problems are stopping us from reaching better results?
· Perfectionism (完美主义)
For perfectionists it’s difficult to make decisions because they try to find the best answer to every question. If they can’t find one, they are unable to move forward.
· Bias (偏见)
Bias results in poor decisions. People with bias think in a way that is not fair (公平). They usually make decisions that only make them feel good about themselves. However, these decisions might not be the best for others.
Here are some tips to solve these problems.
· For perfectionists, setting a right resolution is much more important than finding the only best one. No one can make perfect decisions all the time. All we can do is to make a right decision by using the information we have at the time.
· For people with bias, the most important thing is to know that everyone has a bias in the first place. To do this, we can think back to our past decisions. Asking for ideas from others also helps.
