Believe it or not, there are many benefits of walking outside in the cold. If you’re thinking about adding cold-weather walks to your exercise routine, here are some tips. Dressing in layers Dressing properly for cold-weather walks is so important. Wearing several pieces of clothing on top of one another can help your body better adapt to decreased temperatures. You can start out with a base layer, the one closest to your skin and made out of sweat-absorbing (吸汗的) material, include a middle layer that helps you keep body heat, and then finish with a shell layer that protects against the outside elements like rain, wind or snow. Protecting your extremities Protect your feet and hands by wearing gloves and warm socks. When you start doing cardio exercises like walking or intense exercise, your blood tends to go where it’s most needed (i. e., your organs), not to the extremities. This means your extremities are more likely to get cold damage, so you need to make sure that they’re protected with cold-weather walking gear (装备). Wearing reflective gear If the route you’re walking on doesn’t have many well-lit areas, it may be a good idea to wear reflective clothing, which is made out of materials that naturally reflect light so that passersby can better see you. Making it fun Making cold-weather walking more enjoyable involves elements of interest, variety, and comfort during the experience. Walking with a friend or a pet can add a social aspect to your activity. It can be more fun to share the experience and conversation, making the time pass more quickly. Walking in cold weather can boost your immune system. However, it’s always important to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise. When embarking on your cold-weather walks, exercise caution for a safe and enjoyable experience. 21. What’s the function of a shell layer for a cold-weather walk? A. To lock body heat. B. To create a stylish appearance. C. To keep the skin dry. D. To defend against wind or rain. 22. According to the passage, what can we learn about cold-weather walking? A. Reflective clothing is a necessity. B. Walking with a friend may increase speed. C. Beginners should seek advice from healthcare providers. D. Blood tends to flow more to hands and feet during walking. 23. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To provide guidance on cold-weather walking. B. To call on people to work out in cold weather. C. To explain the benefits of cold-weather walking. D. To introduce basic wear for walking in cold weather. 24. Where is this passage probably taken from? A. A science journal. B. A health report. C. A sports magazine. D. A shopping guide. B I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 25. Elise was nervous because ______. A. she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B. she was worrying about her rough voice C. she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D. she had to face a large audience in the hall 26. When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______. A. lost herself in the beautiful music B. tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C. felt something wrong with the stage lights D. counted the beats of the song alongside him 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A. Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. B. Continuous hard work will eventually pay off. C. Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. C In 2022, an advanced AI language model took the world by storm with its impressive capabilities. Yet hidden within its design lies a key breakthrough responsible for sending AI rocketing these past few years — and possibly a limitation that could see it crashing back to Earth. At its core, the AI model relies on a “transformer” approach. When the model is given a string of words, it makes links between the words it has already been fed, “transforming” the whole input into a new output. That design achieved huge success when given enough computing power and data, leading to the surprising jump in apparent reasoning and language capabilities behind today’s AI tools. What’s more, using ever greater levels of computing power and data seems to continually improve a transformer’s performance. This “scaling law” is why AI companies have predicted that their models will get better and better. Outside observers are doubtful, however. Some researchers question whether this all-important scaling law can continue to be unimpeded, especially as most of the available data to train the models on has already been gathered on the Internet. Even if transformers continue to follow this scaling law, there could still be a fundamental (根本的) problem with their design. They lack an internal memory, which is central to how human intelligence works. Unlike humans, who can remember past information and build on it naturally, transformers don’t have this capability. As a result, transformers must repeatedly look back at data they have already seen. Processing and producing long text can therefore require enormous computational resources as the AI scans back and forth. Researchers hope to solve this problem with other neural network architectures such as a model called extended long short-term memory (xLSTM), which produces comparable results to transformers while being much more efficient and able to remember past states. But a deeper problem with both transformers and their alternatives is whether they are “Turing complete”, which means they are able to run any algorithm (算法) or compute anything that any other computer can. Take a basic problem: adding two numbers. Since transformers learn from their training data, they are good at adding numbers they’ve met many times, but may produce incorrect results for numbers not found in their training data. While transformer algorithm is improving as models scale up, it still isn’t clear if they have the capability to do addition in a Turing-complete way. So, what is the solution? Finding an AI architecture that can perform as well as the transformer, while also solving the current problems with efficiency and memory, is no easy task. 28. Some AI companies are optimistic about their AI models because ______. A. they can transform input into a new output B. they have mastered reasoning and language skills C. they can bring about breakthroughs in computing power D. they keep improving with growing computing power and data 29. What does the underlined word “unimpeded” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Unblocked. B. Unexpected. C. Unsolved. D. Unexplored. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Transformers are good at adding numbers. B xLSTM produces better results than transformers. C. To be Turing complete is a challenge for AI models. D. Internal memory enables AI models to produce long text. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Rise and Fall of AI Models B. The Uncertain Future of AI Models C. Solutions to Problems of AI Models D. Scaling Laws and AI Models’ Progress 第四部分：书面表达(共两节，27分) 第一节(共4小题;第50—51小题各2分，第52小题3分，第53小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题. The Paradox of Choices A little café “The Sip and Smile”, known for its simple atmosphere, had been a gathering place in a small town for decades. The café offered a humble menu with three coffee options: black, cappuccino, and latte. People came, ordered their favorites, and enjoyed conversations that went on long after the coffee cups were empty. One day, the café decided to broaden its menu. In an effort to attract more customers, it introduced 50 varieties of coffee, ranging from espresso to flavored frappes. However, a strange thing started happening. As the menu grew, the once-busy café began losing its charm. People would walk in, look at the endless list of options, and hesitate, unable to decide. The pleasant conversations that used to fill the air turned into murmurs of uncertainty: “Should I try mocha today? Or maybe macchiato? Wait, maybe…?” What had once been a simple, joyous act of ordering coffee now felt like a burden. Customers spent more time choosing than sipping. The town folk, who once loved the café for its simplicity, were now confused by too many choices. This story of the café reflects a modern-day phenomenon: the paradox of choices. We’re presented with more options than ever before. Whether it’s choosing a career path, or deciding which product to buy, the numerous choices often leave us more stressed, and dissatisfied. Psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of the “paradox of choice,” which suggests that while having some choices is good, having too many can lead to anxiety, indecision, and dissatisfaction. This paradox arises because, as options increase, the effort to evaluate (评估) them increases too. We start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices. After months of declining business, the café learned its lesson. The café owner decided to return to a simpler menu. Now, customers had a select few options, each made with care. Conversations returned, the laughter came back, and the café once again became a place where choices felt easy and joyful. In life, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of options — it’s the one that brings us peace. Just like the customers of the café, we too can find comfort in simplicity. 32. What did the café do to attract more customers? _____________________________________________________________________________ 33. Why does the paradox of choices arise? _____________________________________________________________________________ 34.

However, there is a surprising power of having a “sense of ceremony” and the secret lies ____19____ awakening our senses. For example, to start a refreshing Monday, you can make a cup of coffee and write down three things to complete this week. After a few Mondays, as soon as you smell the coffee scent, you ____20____ (remind) of the week’s possibilities and look forward to the week ahead. 【答案】18. that##which 19. in 20. will be reminded##are reminded 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了仪式感的力量，指出其秘诀在于唤醒我们的感官，并举例说明如何用仪式感开启新的一周。 【18题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：我们大多数人认为仪式是与生日等重大人生事件相关的重要场合。“____1____ are connected to major life events like birthdays”是定语从句，修饰先行词occasions，指物，关系词将其代入从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which引导该从句。故填that/which。 【19题详解】 考查介词。句意：然而，拥有“仪式感”有一种惊人的力量，秘诀在于唤醒我们的感官。lie in是固定短语，意为“在于”。故填in。 【20题详解】 考查时态和语态。句意：几个周一之后，只要你闻到咖啡的香味，你就会想起本周的各种可能性，并期待即将到来的一周。remind(使想起)是主句谓语动词，与主语you之间是被动关系，as soon as引导时间状语从句中使用了一般现在时态，遵循“主将从现”原则，从句用一般现在时，主句用一般将来时态will be reminded，也可理解为一般性事实，用一般现在时态are reminded。故填will be reminded/are reminded。 第三部分：阅读理解(共一节，22分) 第一节(共11小题;每小题2分，共22分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 A Whether you’re a keen walker or just starting out with walking, you might be understandably unwilling to do it outside in the cold. Believe it or not, there are many benefits of walking outside in the cold. If you’re thinking about adding cold-weather walks to your exercise routine, here are some tips. Dressing in layers Dressing properly for cold-weather walks is so important. Wearing several pieces of clothing on top of one another can help your body better adapt to decreased temperatures. You can start out with a base layer, the one closest to your skin and made out of sweat-absorbing (吸汗的) material, include a middle layer that helps you keep body heat, and then finish with a shell layer that protects against the outside elements like rain, wind or snow. Protecting your extremities Protect your feet and hands by wearing gloves and warm socks. When you start doing cardio exercises like walking or intense exercise, your blood tends to go where it’s most needed (i. e., your organs), not to the extremities. This means your extremities are more likely to get cold damage, so you need to make sure that they’re protected with cold-weather walking gear (装备). Wearing reflective gear If the route you’re walking on doesn’t have many well-lit areas, it may be a good idea to wear reflective clothing, which is made out of materials that naturally reflect light so that passersby can better see you. Making it fun Making cold-weather walking more enjoyable involves elements of interest, variety, and comfort during the experience. Walking with a friend or a pet can add a social aspect to your activity. It can be more fun to share the experience and conversation, making the time pass more quickly. Walking in cold weather can boost your immune system. However, it’s always important to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise. When embarking on your cold-weather walks, exercise caution for a safe and enjoyable experience. 21. What’s the function of a shell layer for a cold-weather walk? A. To lock body heat. B. To create a stylish appearance. C. To keep the skin dry. D. To defend against wind or rain. 22. According to the passage, what can we learn about cold-weather walking? A. Reflective clothing is a necessity. B. Walking with a friend may increase speed. C. Beginners should seek advice from healthcare providers. D. Blood tends to flow more to hands and feet during walking. 23. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To provide guidance on cold-weather walking. B. To call on people to work out in cold weather. C. To explain the benefits of cold-weather walking. D. To introduce basic wear for walking in cold weather. 24. Where is this passage probably taken from? A A science journal. B. A health report. C. A sports magazine. D. A shopping guide. 【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A 24. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在寒冷天气中步行的好处以及给出了进行寒冷天气步行的一些建议。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Dressing in layers部分中“...and then finish with a shell layer that protects against the outside elements like rain, wind or snow.(……然后穿上外层，它可以抵御外界的风雨雪等因素)”可知，外层的作用是抵御风雨雪等外界因素。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, it’s always important to consult with your healthcare provider before beginning a new exercise.(然而，在开始一项新的运动之前，咨询你的医疗保健提供者总是很重要的)”可知，初学者应该向医疗保健提供者寻求建议。故选C项。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“If you’re thinking about adding cold weather walks to your exercise routine, here are some tips.(如果你正在考虑将寒冷天气步行纳入你的日常锻炼中，这里有一些建议)”以及后文分别从穿衣、保护身体部位、穿着装备和增加趣味性等方面给出建议可知，文章的主要目的是为寒冷天气步行提供指导。故选A项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。文章开篇提及“Whether you’re a keen walker or just starting out with walking(无论你是热衷于步行的人还是刚开始步行)”，且全文围绕寒冷天气步行展开，介绍其好处与相关建议，属于运动健身方面的内容，所以文章最有可能来自体育杂志。故选C项。 B I did not expect so many people to be here. Over five hundred were seated in rows that extended into the open gymnasium beyond. I could hear the occasional sound of a cough or a child trying to stay quiet, but it all sounded muffled as if I was under water. Every night, Ethan and I practiced hard until my voice got rough (沙哑的) and his fingers hurt. We were invited to perform at a national music concert. It was a rare opportunity for us to shine, so we wanted to give it our all. Every run-through we did, we’d fix a few mistakes but always find a few new ones in exchange. It was like two steps forward and one step back. Even though we sometimes disagreed, we stayed focused on our goal. As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face. When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me. He knew something was wrong, but he continued onward as he had been trained to do. I searched desperately for a solution, my eyes moving quickly around the darkened hall. I felt as if time had stopped. Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear. Ethan and I rode through the rest of the song until the end, our voices and the piano fitting together in harmony. A moment of reflective silence. Then, the entire audience rose to their feet in applause. A month later, I felt like I was under water again. A soft announcer called out, “Fantaisie Impromptu, Op. 66.” I walked onto the stage. As I looked up, I saw my mom. She watched me patiently and gave me a reassuring nod. Gradually, the pressure on my chest melted away and I could breathe once more. I had done this before, and I would do it again. 25. Elise was nervous because ______. A. she didn’t practice enough with Ethan B. she was worrying about her rough voice C. she didn’t share the same goal with Ethan D. she had to face a large audience in the hall 26. When Ethan started to play the piano, Elise ______. A. lost herself in the beautiful music B. tried to sing but couldn’t make a sound C. felt something wrong with the stage lights D. counted the beats of the song alongside him 27. What does the story mainly tell us? A Teamwork turns the impossible into reality. B. Continuous hard work will eventually pay off. C. Support from loved ones lights the path to confidence. D. True strength comes from overcoming repeated failures. 【答案】25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去民族音乐会上表演，因为紧张发不出声音，多亏了母亲的支持让作者完成了演出。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As we walked up onto the stage, I could feel a thousand sharp eyes on me. The air was perfectly still. The lights felt hot on my face.(当我们走上舞台时，我能感觉到有一千双锐利的眼睛盯着我)”可知，伊莉斯很紧张，因为她要面对大厅里的一大群观众。故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When the music began, I froze. My mouth opened, but no sound came out. Ethan slowed the piano down for a beat as he looked over at me.(音乐响起时，我僵住了。我张开嘴，但没有发出声音。伊桑看着我，放慢了钢琴的节拍)”可知，伊桑开始弹钢琴时，艾利斯试着唱，但唱不出声音来。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Then, I locked eyes with Mom. Even at a distance, I could sense her gently mouthing the words to me as she had always done whenever I’d forget my lyrics, “Elise, you can do it.” I took a deep breath and my voice finally came out, strong and clear.(然后，我和妈妈对视了一下。即使在远处，我也能感觉到她温柔地用嘴对我说着歌词，就像每当我忘记歌词时她总是做的那样：“伊莉斯，你能行的。”我深吸了一口气，声音终于发出来了，有力而清晰)”结合文章主要讲述了作者去民族音乐会上表演，因为紧张发不出声音，多亏了母亲的支持让作者完成了演出。可知，这个故事主要告诉我们来自亲人的支持照亮了通往自信的道路。故选C。 C In 2022, an advanced AI language model took the world by storm with its impressive capabilities. Yet hidden within its design lies a key breakthrough responsible for sending AI rocketing these past few years — and possibly a limitation that could see it crashing back to Earth. At its core, the AI model relies on a “transformer” approach. When the model is given a string of words, it makes links between the words it has already been fed, “transforming” the whole input into a new output. That design achieved huge success when given enough computing power and data, leading to the surprising jump in apparent reasoning and language capabilities behind today’s AI tools. What’s more, using ever greater levels of computing power and data seems to continually improve a transformer’s performance. This “scaling law” is why AI companies have predicted that their models will get better and better. Outside observers are doubtful, however. Some researchers question whether this all-important scaling law can continue to be unimpeded, especially as most of the available data to train the models on has already been gathered on the Internet. Even if transformers continue to follow this scaling law, there could still be a fundamental (根本的) problem with their design. They lack an internal memory, which is central to how human intelligence works. Unlike humans, who can remember past information and build on it naturally, transformers don’t have this capability. As a result, transformers must repeatedly look back at data they have already seen. Processing and producing long text can therefore require enormous computational resources as the AI scans back and forth. Researchers hope to solve this problem with other neural network architectures, such as a model called extended long short-term memory (xLSTM), which produces comparable results to transformers while being much more efficient and able to remember past states. But a deeper problem with both transformers and their alternatives is whether they are “Turing complete”, which means they are able to run any algorithm (算法) or compute anything that any other computer can. Take a basic problem: adding two numbers. Since transformers learn from their training data, they are good at adding numbers they’ve met many times, but may produce incorrect results for numbers not found in their training data. While transformer algorithm is improving as models scale up, it still isn’t clear if they have the capability to do addition in a Turing-complete way. So, what is the solution? Finding an AI architecture that can perform as well as the transformer, while also solving the current problems with efficiency and memory, is no easy task. 28. Some AI companies are optimistic about their AI models because ______. A. they can transform input into a new output B. they have mastered reasoning and language skills C. they can bring about breakthroughs in computing power D. they keep improving with growing computing power and data 29. What does the underlined word “unimpeded” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Unblocked. B. Unexpected. C. Unsolved. D. Unexplored. 30. What can we learn from the passage? A. Transformers are good at adding numbers. B. xLSTM produces better results than transformers. C. To be Turing complete is a challenge for AI models. D. Internal memory enables AI models to produce long text. 31. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Rise and Fall of AI Models B. The Uncertain Future of AI Models C. Solutions to Problems of AI Models D. Scaling Laws and AI Models’ Progress 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要是说人工智能语言模型使人工智能飞速发展，但是找到一种可以像变压器一样出色的AI架构，同时还能解决当前的效率和内存问题，这不是一件容易的事。 28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“What’s more, using ever greater levels of computing power and data seems to continually improve a transformer’s performance. This “scaling law” is why AI companies have predicted that their models will get better and better.(更重要的是，使用更高水平的计算能力和数据似乎可以不断提高变压器的性能。这就是为什么人工智能公司预测他们的模型会越来越好。)”可知，一些人工智能公司对他们的人工智能模型持乐观态度，因为它们随着计算能力和数据的增长而不断改进。故选D项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词的上文“Outside observers are doubtful, however. Some researchers question whether this all-important scaling law can continue…(然而，外界观察家对此表示怀疑。一些研究人员质疑这一至关重要的尺度定律能否继续……)”可知，一些研究人员怀疑的肯定是这种定律是否畅通无阻，所以划线单词与unlocked“解锁”意义一致。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While transformer algorithm is improving as models scale up, it still isn’t clear if they have the capability to do addition in a Turing-complete way. So, what is the solution? Finding an AI architecture that can perform as well as the transformer, while also solving the current problems with efficiency and memory, is no easy task.(虽然变压器算法随着模型的扩大而不断改进，但它们是否有能力以图灵完备的方式进行加法运算仍然不清楚。那么，解决方案是什么呢？找到一种可以像变压器一样出色的AI架构，同时还能解决当前的效率和内存问题，这不是一件容易的事。)”可知，对于人工智能模型来说，图灵完备是一个挑战。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段“In 2022, an advanced AI language model took the world by storm with its impressive capabilities. Yet hidden within its design lies a key breakthrough responsible for sending AI rocketing these past few years—and possibly a limitation that could see it crashing back to Earth.(2022年，一种先进的人工智能语言模型以其令人印象深刻的能力席卷了世界。然而，在它的设计中隐藏着一个关键的突破，在过去的几年里，它使人工智能飞速发展，也可能是一个限制，使它可能会撞回地球。)”和最后一段“While transformer algorithm is improving as models scale up, it still isn’t clear if they have the capability to do addition in a Turing-complete way. So, what is the solution? Finding an AI architecture that can perform as well as the transformer, while also solving the current problems with efficiency and memory, is no easy task.(虽然变压器算法随着模型的扩大而不断改进，但它们是否有能力以图灵完备的方式进行加法运算仍然不清楚。那么，解决方案是什么呢？找到一种可以像变压器一样出色的AI架构，同时还能解决当前的效率和内存问题，这不是一件容易的事。)”可知，本文主要是说人工智能语言模型使人工智能飞速发展，但是找到一种可以像变压器一样出色的AI架构，同时还能解决当前的效率和内存问题，这不是一件容易的事。人工智能模型的未来仍然不确定。所以，用B项“The Uncertain Future of AI Models(人工智能模型的不确定未来)”作为本文的题目，与文章主题相符合。故选B项。 第四部分：书面表达(共两节，27分) 第一节(共4小题;第50—51小题各2分，第52小题3分，第53小题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题. The Paradox of Choices A little café “The Sip and Smile”, known for its simple atmosphere, had been a gathering place in a small town for decades. The café offered a humble menu with three coffee options: black, cappuccino, and latte. People came, ordered their favorites, and enjoyed conversations that went on long after the coffee cups were empty. One day the café decided to broaden its menu. In an effort to attract more customers, it introduced 50 varieties of coffee, ranging from espresso to flavored frappes. However, a strange thing started happening. As the menu grew, the once-busy café began losing its charm. People would walk in, look at the endless list of options, and hesitate, unable to decide. The pleasant conversations that used to fill the air turned into murmurs of uncertainty: “Should I try mocha today? Or maybe macchiato? Wait, maybe…?” What had once been a simple, joyous act of ordering coffee now felt like a burden. Customers spent more time choosing than sipping. The town folk, who once loved the café for its simplicity, were now confused by too many choices. This story of the café reflects a modern-day phenomenon: the paradox of choices. We’re presented with more options than ever before. Whether it’s choosing a career path, or deciding which product to buy, the numerous choices often leave us more stressed, and dissatisfied. Psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of the “paradox of choice,” which suggests that while having some choices is good, having too many can lead to anxiety, indecision, and dissatisfaction. This paradox arises because, as options increase, the effort to evaluate (评估) them increases too. We start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices. After months of declining business, the café learned its lesson. The café owner decided to return to a simpler menu. Now, customers had a select few options, each made with care. Conversations returned, the laughter came back, and the café once again became a place where choices felt easy and joyful. In life, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of options — it’s the one that brings us peace. Just like the customers of the café, we too can find comfort in simplicity. 32. What did the café do to attract more customers? _____________________________________________________________________________ 33. Why does the paradox of choices arise? _____________________________________________________________________________ 34. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. In life, the best decision is the one that offers the most options and brings us peace. _____________________________________________________________________________ 35. Do you prefer more choices or fewer choices when making a decision? Please explain it in your own words. (In about 40 words) _____________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】32. It introduced 50 varieties of coffee. 33. Because, as options increase, the effort to evaluate them increases too. (We start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices.) 34. In life, the best decision is the one that offers the most options and brings us peace. According to the last paragraph, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of options. 35. 参考1： I prefer fewer choices because making choices can be exhausting. Having fewer choices can help me stay focused and save my mental energy. On the contrary, the more options I have, the more likely I might suffer decision fatigue and regret the choice I’ve made. 参考2： I prefer fewer choices when making a decision. Firstly, limited choices can save me the trouble of assessing too many choices, which leads to quicker decision-making. Meanwhile, having fewer options allows a deeper understanding of each choice, helping me make better decisions. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了生活中的“选择的悖论”现象以及分析其产生的原因。 【32题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“In an effort to attract more customers, it introduced 50 varieties of coffee, ranging from espresso to flavored frappes.(为了吸引更多的顾客，它推出了50种咖啡，从浓缩咖啡到风味冰沙)”可知，咖啡馆引进了50种咖啡来吸引更多的顾客。故答案为It introduced 50 varieties of coffee. 【33题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段“This paradox arises because, as options increase, the effort to evaluate (评估) them increases too. We start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices.(之所以出现这种悖论，是因为随着选项的增加，评估它们的努力也在增加。我们开始担心自己会做出错误的决定，或者错过更好的选择)”可知，出现选择悖论是因为，随着选择的增加，评估它们的努力也在增加。（我们开始担心自己会做出错误的决定，或者错过更好的选择。）故答案为Because, as options increase, the effort to evaluate them increases too. (We start to worry that we’ll make the wrong decision, or miss out on better choices.) 【34题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段“In life, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of options — it’s the one that brings us peace. Just like the customers of the café, we too can find comfort in simplicity.(在生活中，最好的决定往往与选择的数量无关——它能给我们带来平静。就像咖啡馆的顾客一样，我们也能在简单中找到安慰)”可知，错误部分为offers the most options，根据最后一段，最佳决策通常与选项的数量无关。故答案为In life, the best decision is the one that offers the most options and brings us peace. According to the last paragraph, the best decision often has nothing to do with the number of options. 【35题详解】 考查开放题。根据“在做决定的时候，你喜欢更多的选择还是更少的选择？请用你自己的话解释一下。”可回答：我更喜欢少一些选择，因为做选择可能会让人筋疲力尽。选择更少可以帮助我保持专注，节省我的精神能量。相反，我拥有的选择越多，我就越有可能感到决策疲劳，并为自己做出的选择感到后悔。或者：在做决定时，我喜欢选择少一些。首先，有限的选择可以省去我评估太多选择的麻烦，从而更快地做出决策。同时，较少的选择可以让我更深入地了解每个选择，帮助我做出更好的决定。故答案为参考1： I prefer fewer choices because making choices can be exhausting. Having fewer choices can help me stay focused and save my mental energy. On the contrary, the more options I have, the more likely I might suffer decision fatigue and regret the choice I’ve made. 参考2： I prefer fewer choices when making a decision. Firstly, limited choices can save me the trouble of assessing too many choices, which leads to quicker decision-making. Meanwhile, having fewer options allows a deeper understanding of each choice, helping me make better decisions. 第二节(15分) 36. 假设你是红星中学高一学生李华。你校交换生Jim准备参加中国日报(China Daily)举办的“我眼中的春节”主题摄影大赛，他发来邮件询问你的建议。请你用英文给他回复。内容包括： 1．建议拍摄内容； 2．就以上建议说明理由。 注意：1．词数100左右； 2．开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Jim, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Jim, It’s exciting to hear that you’re participating in the “Spring Festival in My Eyes” photography competition.
