My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family; there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant. The longest fight I had was with my parents, and it dragged on for nearly a year. My habit seemed immortal. Until an afternoon with my granddaughter opened my eyes to the impact my behaviour was having on the people around me. We were playing a board game when she made a move that broke the rules. I corrected her, but she ended up making the same mistake again. I read the rules out loud and asked if she got it this time. She smiled at me and shook her head. “Grandpa, why are you so stubborn?” she asked. “It’s just a game. We’ re here to have fun, aren’t we?” Something about her words really hit home. We weren’t there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves — how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared. A few days later, my son came over for dinner. During the meal, he shared a viewpoint that struck me as baseless. Typically, I would have launched myself headfirst into a heated debate with him. But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him. This experience brought me a joy that far surpassed (超出) the fleeting satisfaction of winning an argument. In hindsight (事后想), my drive to win hadn’t really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline. I had always understood this concept in theory, but it took a seven-year-old’s intervention for me to apply it. 4. What did the author’s passion for argument contribute to? A. Damaged relationship. B. Moral development. C. Troublesome children. D. Bittersweet marriage. 5. What did the author learn from his granddaughter’s words? A. Good habits were hard to develop. B. Rules didn’t work in a board game. C. Adults were more serious than kids. D. Connection was more vital than right. 6. What surprised the author most during the dinner? A. The awareness of tolerance. B. The flavour of the tasty food. C. The brief joy from winning. D. The urge to understand others. 7. Why does the author mention an extra cup of tea? A. To spread a complex concept. B. To highlight the need for truth. C. To identify the root of his habit. D. To compare two daily activities. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从热衷于争论到学会宽容与理解的心路历程。文章通过描述作者与家人之间的争执，特别是与孙女的互动，以及后来对争论本质的反思，展现了作者个人成长和心态的转变。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family; there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant.(我执着于正确已经成为我生活中的支柱，并且经常在家里引起麻烦；有时我的婚姻变得紧张，孩子们也变得疏远。)”可知，作者热衷于争论导致了家庭关系的紧张，包括婚姻和与孩子的关系都受到了影响。由此可知，作者热衷于争论导致了受损的关系。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“We weren’t there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves — how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared.(我们不是在那里为了争谁对谁错，我们是去那里享受自己——如何移动棋子只是背景。真正重要的是我们的纽带和我们共享的时刻。)”可知，作者从孙女的言语中领悟到，在玩乐中，人与人之间的联系和共享的时刻比争论谁对谁错更加重要。故选D。 6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him.(但这次，当我张开嘴准备回答时，我发现自己反而把一勺馅饼送进了嘴里，静静地享受着。我宽容让我感到惊讶，但当我听他说话时，真正让我震惊的是一种新发现的想要理解他的渴望。)”可知，作者在晚餐时最惊讶的是自己产生了一种想要理解他人的新渴望，这种渴望超越了以往的争论和反驳。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“In hindsight, my drive to win hadn’t really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline.(事后想来，我争胜的欲望其实并不是为了寻求真理，而是为了显示我比其他人更优秀。通过放手，我获得的远比我反抗时要多。现在我认识到，在餐桌上争论就像决定再喝一杯咖啡一样，都是自律的问题。)”可知，作者提到额外的一杯咖啡是为了类比自己在餐桌上的争论行为，指出这两者都是自律的问题，从而揭示了自己争论习惯的根源在于缺乏自律。故选C。 ☆C More than half of the world’s largest lakes have lost significant amounts of water over the last three decades, and roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in the basin of a drying lake, according to a new study by a team of international scientists, which pins the blame largely on climate change and excessive(过度的)water use. While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants. Across the world, the most significant lakes are seeing sharp declines. The Colorado River’s Lake Mead in Southwest US has shrunk dramatically due to a megadrought(大干旱) and decades of overuse. The Caspian Sea, between Asia and Europe the world’s largest inland body of water has long been declining. The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined, said Fangfang Yao, the study’s lead author and a visiting scholar at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades. “The results were staggering,” Yao said. “It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.” “As many parts of the world become hotter and drier, lakes must be managed properly. Otherwise climate change and human activities can lead to drying sooner than we think,” Yao added. 8. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph? A. To broaden readers’ horizons. B. To encourage readers to protect wildlife. C. To lighten readers’ worries over water shortage. D. To show shrinkage of lakes should be taken seriously. 9. What has environmental groups ignored? A. The recording of shrinking lakes. B. The influence of water shortage. C. Causes of the shrinkage of many lakes. D. Measures to stop the shrinkage of lakes. 10. What can we learn about the new study from Paragraph 5? A. It’s scientifically-grounded. B. It’s much-debated. C. It’s commercially-successful. D. It’s partially-acceptable. 11. Which does the underlined word “staggering” probably mean in Paragraph 6? A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Inspiring. D. Amazing. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据一个国际科学家团队的一项新研究，在过去三十年中，世界上一半以上的最大湖泊都失去了大量的水，大约四分之一的世界人口生活在干涸的湖泊流域，该研究将主要归咎于气候变化和过度用水。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants(虽然湖泊只覆盖了地球的3%左右，但它们容纳了近90%的地表液态淡水，是饮用水、灌溉和电力的主要来源，为动植物提供了重要的栖息地。)”可知本段讲了湖泊是饮用水、灌溉和电力的主要来源，为动植物提供了重要的栖息地，说明了湖泊的重要性，可推理出作者写第二段的目的是表明湖泊萎缩应受到重视，故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined(环保组织已经充分记录了许多湖泊的缩小，但其背后的原因几乎没有得到研究。)”可知，环保组织忽视了湖泊萎缩的原因，故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades.(研究人员对世界上近2000个最大的湖泊进行了卫星测量，这些湖泊合计占地球湖泊总蓄水量的95%。通过检查1992年至2020年的25万多张卫星图像，以及气候模型，他们能够重建几十年前湖泊的历史)”可知，研究人员使用科学方法，通过检25万多张卫星图像并结合气候模型进行研究，可知这个研究有科学依据，故选A项。 【11题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词下文“It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.(看到有多少淡水系统无法像过去那样储存水，这有点可怕)”可知，淡水系统如果无法储存水，那将是很可怕的，可推理出划线词的含义为“令人震惊的”，故选B项。 ☆D Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. One explanation for confirmation bias is that it is an efficient way to process information. Humans are constantly fed with information and cannot possibly take the time to carefully process each piece. It is adaptive for humans to rely on subconscious, automatic judgements that contribute to the efficiency. Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. Therefore, confirmation bias will encourage them to disregard the information contrary to their belief. Researches show that confirmation bias is strong and widespread. In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are contrary to their beliefs, but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. Confirmation bias also surfaces in interpersonal communication. When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. 12. Why do people show confirmation bias? A. To help maintain their dignity. B. To prevent shallow judgements. C. To handle complex information. D. To develop their logical reasoning. 13. What did the studies in Paragraph 3 find? A. People couldn’t produce arguments against their belief. B. Information supporting people’s belief often won preference. C. It took considerable motivation to face controversial issues. D. People focused on information concerning the opposing side. 14. How does the writer illustrate confirmation bias in communication? A. By making comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By introducing a study. D. By defining a concept. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of my-side bias in enhancing people’s own beliefs. B. The effects of information overload on decision-making process. C. The impact of confirmation bias on interpersonal communication. D Understanding of confirmation bias and strategies to overcome it. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了确认偏误的理解及其克服策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. (人们表现出确认偏误的另一个原因是保护自我价值。人们喜欢对自己有良好的感觉，而发现自己高度认同的信念是错误的会让他们自我感觉糟糕)”可知，人们表现出确认偏误的另一个原因是为了保护他们的自我价值。换句话说，是为了帮助他们保持尊严。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. (在研究“我方偏误”的实验中，人们能够生成并记住更多支持自己在一项有争议问题上立场的理由，而不是反对立场的理由)”可知，支持人们信念的信息往往更受欢迎。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第四段中“When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. (在与人们认为具有某种性格的人互动时，感知者会提出倾向于支持自己信念的偏见性问题。如果玛丽亚认为新室友友好且外向，她可能会问她是否喜欢参加聚会，而不是问她是否经常在图书馆学习)”可知，文中通过举Maria与新室友交往的例子来说明确认偏误在交流中的表现，即作者是运用举例的写作手法。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. (确认偏误指的是人们倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息。尽管这通常是潜意识的，但其影响却十分重大。它会使人们的判断和决策过程变得模糊)”和最后一段“Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. (确认偏误可能导致对某个问题或话题的理解不完整和误解，因为关键信息可能会被忽视或驳回。因此，为了避免这种情况，人们应该多样化信息来源，因为从多个角度获取信息有助于更全面地理解主题，并做出周全的决策。另一种方法是主动挑战偏见，通过质疑假设并依赖证据而非个人意见，这有助于我们有意识地识别信息偏见并最大限度地减少其影响)”可知，文章主要讲述了对确认偏误的理解以及克服它的策略。故选D。 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。 Humans have a need to share their beliefs and values with other people. ___16___ This has a solid logic: Sharing emotions and opinions can lead to imitation (模仿), which can in turn create unity and enhance relationships. Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to alter their views. ___17___ The choice will depend on the other person’s situation. If he/ she already agrees with you, then your negativity can raise the intensity of his/ her views. ___18___ Sometimes, people you are talking to don’t already think the way you do. They will simply judge your statement to be hyperbolic (浮夸的) and biased. And you won’t get them to imitate you at all. To an even greater degree, if they disagree with you, what you say will harden their values against yours. ___19___ When people are offended over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position against that of the speaker. Imagine a person came to your house with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But when you opened the door, he/ she hit you with the flowers. ___20___ So, if you want to be more persuasive, consider the specific situations and share them more positively — in other words, turn your beliefs and values into a gift, rather than a weapon. A. One size, however, won’t fit for all. B. This is the so- called backfire effect. C. All you would want is to get the person out of the way. D. When you feel strongly about something, it’s hard not to talk about it. E. This is essentially the result of using your flowers negatively as weapons. F. To achieve the goal, you can outline your views either positively or negatively. G. Positive emotions may be better at leading to imitation than negative emotions. 【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. B 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述我们在试着说服他人时，有时会适得其反，试着用更加积极、委婉的语言风格不失为一个好方法。 【16题详解】 上文“Humans have a need to share their beliefs and values with other people.(人类需要与他人分享他们的信仰和价值观)”提到人类需要与他人分享自己的信仰和价值观，D项“当你对某事有强烈的感觉时，你很难不去谈论它”进一步阐述上文，说明文人们需要分享的原因，故选D。 【17题详解】 上文“Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to alter their views.(除了建立联系之外，你可能希望别人以你的感受为榜样的另一个原因是让他们改变自己的观点)”提到人们分享的另一个原因——想让对方改变他们自己的观点，F项“为了达到这个目标，你可以用积极或消极的方式来表达你的观点”承接上文，F项中“the goal”指代上文的“to get them to alter their views”，故选F。 【18题详解】 上文提到分享是为了改变别人的观点，根据下文“Sometimes, people you are talking to don’t already think the way you do. They will simply judge your statement to be hyperbolic (浮夸的) and biased.(有时候，与你交谈的人并不像你那样思考问题。他们只会认为你的陈述是夸张和有偏见的)”可知，本段和上文是转折关系，A项“然而，一种尺寸不会适合所有人”符合语境，故选A。 【19题详解】 根据上文“And you won’t get them to imitate you at all. To an even greater degree, if they disagree with you, what you say will harden their values against yours.(你根本不会让他们模仿你。在更大程度上，如果他们不同意你的观点，你所说的话会使他们的价值观与你的价值观相抵触)”和下文“When people are offended over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position against that of the speaker.(当人们觉得自己持有的观点被冒犯时，他们更有可能深入研究自己的立场，反对说话者的立场)”可知上下文都是在说你不仅无法改变别人的观点，反而会让别人更加坚持自己的观点，B项“这就叫适得其反”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 上文“Imagine a person came to your house with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But when you opened the door, he/ she hit you with the flowers.(想象一下，一个人带着一束美丽的花来到你家。但是当你打开门时，他/她用花打你)”提到别人带着一束花来到你家，却用花打你，E项“这主要是由于将给你的花作为武器负面使用了”解释上述行为的原因，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） ☆阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher?

With each step, his mind was filled with worry as he racked his brain to find money for his seriously ill son, Andrew, who was in great need of heart surgery. Tom had run out of choices and time. Desperation was beginning to set in, but he refused to let his son suffer helplessly. As he walked, the weight of his troubles pressed heavily on his shoulders. So desperate was he that he even heard a hum in his ears. The next moment the hum was entirely covered by a loud sound. He turned in shock, and what he saw took his breath away. An expensive luxury car was wrapped around a big tree on the other side of the street, with its front twisted and flames starting to spring up from the car. Without a second thought, he ran to the flaming car. He noticed that although the young lady in the driver’s seat did not seem to have been severely injured - apparently because of the open airbag - she was unconscious. Tom saw that the flames began to grow increasingly intense. He realized that he had to get the girl out of the car immediately because there was a high risk of the vehicle exploding at any time. He grabbed the handle and pulled it, but the door was bent and did not open. He used all his strength and tried again, but in vain. It was a sports car, so it had only two doors, and the other one was blocked by the tree. He decided that he had to break the glass to take her out as quickly as possible. He struck it forcefully with his fist but realized that there was no way he could break the thick glass with bare hands, and the flames were getting bigger. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Time was running out, and his mind raced madly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The girl was sad to know Tom’s trouble from the local news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Time was running out, and his mind raced madly. In a moment of clarity, Tom remembered the worn-out hammer in his hand. It had been a reliable companion through countless days of labor, and now it was his only hope. With a determined swing, he smashed the hammer against the window, shattering the glass with a loud crash. Carefully, he reached into the vehicle, avoiding the jagged edges, and unbuckled the unconscious young lady. With all his strength, he pulled her out, dragging her a safe distance from the car just as the flames roared fiercely, engulfing the vehicle in a fiery blaze. Soon, Tom’s heroic deed went viral. The girl was sad to know Tom’s trouble from the local news. She learned about his struggle to find money for his son’s heart surgery and felt a deep sense of empathy for his situation. Remembering how he had risked his life to save her, she decided to take action. With her family’s connections and resources, she organized a fundraising campaign to help cover the medical expenses for Andrew’s surgery. As word spread about Tom’s story, the community rallied together, contributing whatever they could. Grateful for the support, Tom felt a renewed sense of hope. The girl, now a friend, visited him in the hospital, bringing not just financial help but also encouragement. Their bond grew stronger, united by the challenges they faced and the lives they had touched. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tom Young在下班回家的路上，偶遇一辆豪华轿车撞上大树并起火。他毫不犹豫地前往救援，发现车内的女司机虽然因安全气囊打开而未受重伤，但已失去意识。面对车门变形无法打开和火焰逐渐蔓延的紧急情况，Tom决定砸碎车窗玻璃救出女司机，但发现仅凭双手无法打破厚实的玻璃。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“时间紧迫，Tom的思绪疯狂地转动。”可知，第一段可描写Tom冒着生命危险救出女孩的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“那位女孩从当地新闻中得知了Tom的困境，感到十分难过。”可知，第二段可描写那位女孩借助家族的关系和资源筹集资金帮助Tom，社区也提供了相应的帮助以及Tom救人这件事带来的积极影响。 2.续写线索：用锤子敲碎玻璃——救出女孩——感到同情——帮助Tom——成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①记得：remember/recall ②决定做某事：decide to do sth/determine to do sth ③帮助：help/assist ④拜访：visit/pay a visit to 情绪类 ①同情：empathy/sympathy ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] Carefully, he reached into the vehicle, avoiding the jagged edges, and unbuckled the unconscious young lady.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Their bond grew stronger, united by the challenges they faced and the lives they had touched.（运用了省略了关系词代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025-22麓山国际2025届高三入学考试试卷 高三年级英语试卷 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Digital Discovery Workshops PacSci’s Digital Discovery Workshops bring unique science experiences to you on your own schedule.

B I loved to argue. My fixation on being right had been a mainstay in my life and had often stirred up trouble in my family; there were moments when my marriage became strained and my kids grew distant. The longest fight I had was with my parents, and it dragged on for nearly a year. My habit seemed immortal. Until an afternoon with my granddaughter opened my eyes to the impact my behaviour was having on the people around me. We were playing a board game when she made a move that broke the rules. I corrected her, but she ended up making the same mistake again. I read the rules out loud and asked if she got it this time. She smiled at me and shook her head. “Grandpa, why are you so stubborn?” she asked. “It’s just a game. We’ re here to have fun, aren’t we?” Something about her words really hit home. We weren’t there to be right, we were there to enjoy ourselves — how to move the pieces was merely a backdrop. What truly mattered was our bond and the moments we shared. A few days later, my son came over for dinner. During the meal, he shared a viewpoint that struck me as baseless. Typically, I would have launched myself headfirst into a heated debate with him. But this time, as I parted my lips to respond, I found myself popping a forkful of pie into my mouth instead, enjoying it quietly. My tolerance surprised me, but what really took my breath away as I listened to him was a newfound desire to understand him. This experience brought me a joy that far surpassed (超出) the fleeting satisfaction of winning an argument. In hindsight (事后想), my drive to win hadn’t really been about seeking the truth, but about showing I was better than everyone else. By letting go, I gained way more than I ever did by pushing back. Now I recognise that arguing at the dinner table is much like deciding to drink an extra cup of coffee. It is a matter of self-discipline. I had always understood this concept in theory, but it took a seven-year-old’s intervention for me to apply it. 4. What did the author’s passion for argument contribute to? A. Damaged relationship. B. Moral development. C. Troublesome children. D. Bittersweet marriage. 5. What did the author learn from his granddaughter’s words? A. Good habits were hard to develop. B.

B. The flavour of the tasty food. C. The brief joy from winning. D. The urge to understand others. 7. Why does the author mention an extra cup of tea? A. To spread a complex concept. B. To highlight the need for truth. C. To identify the root of his habit. D. To compare two daily activities. ☆C More than half of the world’s largest lakes have lost significant amounts of water over the last three decades, and roughly one-quarter of the world’s population lives in the basin of a drying lake, according to a new study by a team of international scientists, which pins the blame largely on climate change and excessive(过度的)water use. While lakes cover only around 3% of the planet, they hold nearly 90% of its liquid surface freshwater and are primary sources of drinking water, irrigation and power, and they provide vital habitats(栖息地) for animals and plants. Across the world, the most significant lakes are seeing sharp declines. The Colorado River’s Lake Mead in Southwest US has shrunk dramatically due to a megadrought(大干旱) and decades of overuse. The Caspian Sea, between Asia and Europe the world’s largest inland body of water has long been declining. The shrinking of many lakes has been well documented by environmental groups, but the reasons behind it have been hardly examined, said Fangfang Yao, the study’s lead author and a visiting scholar at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder. The researchers used satellite measurements of nearly 2,000 of the world’s largest lakes, which together represent 95% of Earth’s total lake water storage. Examining more than 250,000 satellite images spanning from 1992 to 2020, along with climate models, they were able to reconstruct the history of the lakes going back decades. “The results were staggering,” Yao said. “It’s a little scary to see how many freshwater systems are unable to store as much water as they used to.” “As many parts of the world become hotter and drier, lakes must be managed properly. Otherwise climate change and human activities can lead to drying sooner than we think,” Yao added. 8. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph? A. To broaden readers’ horizons. B. To encourage readers to protect wildlife. C. To lighten readers’ worries over water shortage. D. To show shrinkage of lakes should be taken seriously. 9. What has environmental groups ignored? A. The recording of shrinking lakes. B. The influence of water shortage. C. Causes of the shrinkage of many lakes. D. Measures to stop the shrinkage of lakes. 10. What can we learn about the new study from Paragraph 5? A It’s scientifically-grounded. B. It’s much-debated. C. It’s commercially-successful. D. It’s partially-acceptable. 11. Which does the underlined word “staggering” probably mean in Paragraph 6? A. Puzzling. B. Shocking. C. Inspiring. D. Amazing. ☆D Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. One explanation for confirmation bias is that it is an efficient way to process information. Humans are constantly fed with information and cannot possibly take the time to carefully process each piece. It is adaptive for humans to rely on subconscious, automatic judgements that contribute to the efficiency. Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. Therefore, confirmation bias will encourage them to disregard the information contrary to their belief. Researches show that confirmation bias is strong and widespread. In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are contrary to their beliefs, but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. Confirmation bias also surfaces in interpersonal communication. When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. 12. Why do people show confirmation bias? A. To help maintain their dignity. B. To prevent shallow judgements. C. To handle complex information. D. To develop their logical reasoning. 13. What did the studies in Paragraph 3 find? A. People couldn’t produce arguments against their belief. B. Information supporting people’s belief often won preference. C. It took considerable motivation to face controversial issues. D. People focused on information concerning the opposing side. 14. How does the writer illustrate confirmation bias in communication? A. By making comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By introducing a study. D. By defining a concept. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of my-side bias in enhancing people’s own beliefs. B. The effects of information overload on decision-making process. C. The impact of confirmation bias on interpersonal communication. D. Understanding of confirmation bias and strategies to overcome it. 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。 Humans have a need to share their beliefs and values with other people. ___16___ This has a solid logic: Sharing emotions and opinions can lead to imitation (模仿), which can in turn create unity and enhance relationships. Besides creating a bond, another reason you might want someone to model themselves on your feelings is to get them to alter their views. ___17___ The choice will depend on the other person’s situation. If he/ she already agrees with you, then your negativity can raise the intensity of his/ her views. ___18___ Sometimes, people you are talking to don’t already think the way you do. They will simply judge your statement to be hyperbolic (浮夸的) and biased. And you won’t get them to imitate you at all. To an even greater degree, if they disagree with you, what you say will harden their values against yours. ___19___ When people are offended over the opinions they hold, they are much more likely to dig into their position against that of the speaker. Imagine a person came to your house with a beautiful bunch of flowers. But when you opened the door, he/ she hit you with the flowers. ___20___ So, if you want to be more persuasive, consider the specific situations and share them more positively — in other words, turn your beliefs and values into a gift, rather than a weapon. A. One size, however, won’t fit for all. B. This is the so- called backfire effect. C. All you would want is to get the person out of the way. D. When you feel strongly about something, it’s hard not to talk about it. E. This is essentially the result of using your flowers negatively as weapons. F. To achieve the goal, you can outline your views either positively or negatively. G. Positive emotions may be better at leading to imitation than negative emotions. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） ☆阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Do you remember the name of your kindergarten teacher?

With each step, his mind was filled with worry as he racked his brain to find money for his seriously ill son, Andrew, who was in great need of heart surgery. Tom had run out of choices and time. Desperation was beginning to set in, but he refused to let his son suffer helplessly. As he walked, the weight of his troubles pressed heavily on his shoulders. So desperate was he that he even heard a hum in his ears. The next moment the hum was entirely covered by a loud sound. He turned in shock, and what he saw took his breath away. An expensive luxury car was wrapped around a big tree on the other side of the street, with its front twisted and flames starting to spring up from the car. Without a second thought, he ran to the flaming car. He noticed that although the young lady in the driver’s seat did not seem to have been severely injured - apparently because of the open airbag - she was unconscious. Tom saw that the flames began to grow increasingly intense. He realized that he had to get the girl out of the car immediately because there was a high risk of the vehicle exploding at any time. He grabbed the handle and pulled it, but the door was bent and did not open. He used all his strength and tried again, but in vain. It was a sports car, so it had only two doors, and the other one was blocked by the tree. He decided that he had to break the glass to take her out as quickly as possible. He struck it forcefully with his fist but realized that there was no way he could break the thick glass with bare hands, and the flames were getting bigger. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Time was running out, and his mind raced madly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The girl was sad to know Tom’s trouble from the local news. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
