1. —Have you heard the news that Mrs Smith will be appointed as our head?
— _______. She is just an assistant.
A. You said it B. By all means C. You don’t say D. You bet
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意:——你听说了史密斯夫人将被指派为我们的领导了吗?——不会吧。她只是一个助理。A. You said it你说对了;B. By all means当然;C. You don’t say不会吧;D. You bet没错,当然。根据She is just an assistant.可知听话者不相信,故用“不会吧”符合语境,故选C项。
2. When talking about doing exercise, you should choose an activity you enjoy and _____ you will stick with.
A. that B. it C. one D. this
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查代词。句意:当谈到做运动时,你应该选择一个你喜欢的活动,一个你会坚持下去的活动。分析句子可知“you enjoy”和“you will stick with”是都是定语从句,前面需要名词或代词作先行词;an activity是第一个定语从句的先行词,泛指“你喜欢的一种活动”;结合句意,第二个定语从句前是“(你会坚持下去的)一种活动”,泛指,也用an activity,但为避免重复,可用代词one代替;四个代词选项中只有C项表泛指。故选C。
3. It was the first time in six attempts that Peters ______the world champion.
A. has beaten B. was beaten
C. beat D. had beaten
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态。句意:这彼得斯六次尝试中第一次击败世界冠军。此句考查句型It was the first time + that从句,意为“这是某人第一次做某事”,从句要用过去完成时。故选D项。
4. the great contributions he made to the film industry, the committee awarded Chaplin a special Oscar in 1972.
A. In view of B. In place of C. In favour of D. In terms of
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查介词短语词义辨析。句意:鉴于卓别林对电影业的巨大贡献,委员会于1972年授予卓别林特别奥斯卡奖。A. In view of由于,鉴于,基于;B. In place of代替;C. In favour of赞同,有利于;D. In terms of从某个角度来看。前文“the great contributions he made to the film industry”是后文“the committee awarded Chaplin a special Oscar in 1972”的原因和依据,所以In view of,合乎逻辑,符合句意。故选A项。
5. Listening to music at home is one thing, going to hear it ________ live is quite another.
A. perform B. performing
C. to perform D. being performed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:在家里面听音乐是一回事,去到现场听又是另一回事。分析4个选项知道,答案所使用的是同一个动词,不同的是时态、语态或者是非谓语形式。A是动词原形,B是非谓语现在分词形式,C是非谓语的不定式,D是非谓语的现在分词被动形式。分析句子结构以及用法,不难知道音乐是被演奏的,所以需要被动,故选D。
【点睛】解答此题,既需要正确区分非谓语和谓语的用法,又要对语态中的被动和主动有所了解,另外也要对hear 这个感官动词的用法有了解。其中的非谓语和谓语可以根据句子成分划分得出,而语态关键看主语是人还是物。当物作主语时需要用被动。
6. Many people in Haiti died from the earthquake because they didn't have_______ to immediate rescue.
A. access B. approach
C. admission D. attention
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查短语:have access to有使用什么样的方法,途径,权利等,句意:许多人在海地死于地震,因为他们不能得到立刻的援救。Admission允许,approach方法,attention注意,故选A。
7. While we ______ think we know what we want, we’re often wrong.
A. may B. will C. shall D. must
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查情态动词。句意:虽然我们可能觉得自己知道想要什么,但事实上我们经常是错的。A. may可能;B. will将要;C. shall将要;D. must必须。根据句意分析,此处是对现状的可能推测,故选A。
8. ________her mother after being separated for 20 years, she couldn't help, even though she tried not to, _______.
A. Seen; crying B. To see; cry C. Seeing; crying D. Having seen; cry
【答案】C
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:分别20年后再见到她母亲,即使她努力的不哭,她还是忍不住哭了。分析句子可知,主句是she couldn't help crying,see和cry都使用非谓语动词形式,see做状语,和逻辑主语she构成主动关系,使用现在分词,故A、D项错误;第二空是固定结构can’t help doing 忍不住做某事,综上所述,故选C。
9. I forget the website ______ I intended to add to my favorite. It can help me learn how to write English composition.
A. what B. where C. when D. which
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:我忘了那个我想加到我最喜欢的网址了,它能帮我学习如何写英语作文。本句为含有定语从句的复合句,website为先行词,指物,在后面的定语从句中作add的宾语,所以设空处填which,故选D项。
10. More than one living species ________ forever from the earth every half an hour, which is an alarming speed.
A. disappears B. are disappearing C. disappear D. is disappearing
【答案】A
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查一般现在时和主谓一致。句意:每半小时就有一个以上的生物从地球上永远消失,这是一个惊人的速度。此处描述客观事实,应用一般现在时。disappear为短暂性动词,所以be disappearing意为“将要消失”,不符合句意。“more than one+名词单数”作主语,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故选A。
11. — Have you finished the novel?
— No. I’ve just read up to ________ the children discover the secret cave.
A. what B. that C. which D. where
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查名词性从句。句意:——你看完那本小说了吗?——没有,我刚读到孩子们发现秘密洞穴这个地方。引导宾语从句,从句中缺少地点状语,故用where引导。故选D。
12. I had just nodded off to sleep __________ I was woken up by an almighty crash from their house.
A. while B. when C. where D. that
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语、连词。句意:我刚睡着就被他们家传来的巨大撞击声吵醒了。“had just done...when...”是固定句型,表示“刚做了某事就……”,强调两个动作的先后顺序,这里表示刚睡着就被吵醒,所以填when,故选B项。
13. The content of this science book is very __________ , making it suitable for beginners to read and understand.
A. advanced B. accessible C. specialized D. incredible
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意:这本科学书的内容通俗易懂,适合初学者阅读和理解。A. advanced高级的,先进的;B. accessible容易理解的,易懂的;C. specialized专业的,专门的;D. incredible难以置信的。此空位于系动词之后,所以为形容词作表语,根据下文中的“making it suitable for beginners to read and understand.”可知,使得这本书适合初学者阅读和理解,由此可知,该书应是“易懂的”符合语境。故选B项。
14. Don’t worry! Your missing watch will ________ one of these days.
A. take up B. pick up C. bring up D. turn up
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语辨析。句意:别担心!你丢失的手表总有一天会找到的。A. take up拿起,开始从事;B. pick up捡起;C. bring up提出,养育;D. turn up出现。根据上文“Your missing watch will”指丢失的手表出现,应用turn up。故选D。
15. — I’m going to travel to America. Would you consider telling me about your experience there?
—______. Let’s discuss it over dinner.
A. Forget it B. Go ahead C. By all means D. It just depends
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查情景交际。句意:—— 我打算去美国旅行。你能给我讲讲你在那里的经历吗?—— 当然可以。咱们晚饭时讨论吧。A. Forget it 算了吧;别在意;B. Go ahead 去吧;做吧;C. By all means 当然可以;一定,务必;D. It just depends 视情况而定。由答语中“Let’s discuss it over dinner(咱们晚饭时讨论吧)”可知,愿意在晚饭时讨论,说明答应了对方的请求,所以是“当然可以”,故选 C 项。

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50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。
(A)
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends
B. approach people with lots of hobbies
C. spend your free time meeting different people
D. talk to people with the same interests
38. According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend?
A. One who enjoys the popularity.
B. One who talks bad about others.
C. One who wants to help you.
D. One who always put others down.
39. According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well?
A. Start with a warm handshake.
B. Make eye contact with the person.
C. Start with a brief introduction of yourself.
D. Start by talking about a serious topic.
40. You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.
A. keep the conversation going B. end the conversation
C. show kindness D. respect others
【答案】36. B 37. D 38. C 39. C 40. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要给新生在新学校结交新朋友提供几点建议,例如通过寻找有相同兴趣的人,或是参加课外俱乐部和活动。
【36题详解】
推理理解题。根据文章第一段“If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge.(如果你刚到一所学校,或者你很害羞,或者你倾向于不走出自己的舒适区,在学校结交新朋友似乎是一个挑战。)”可知,文章主要面向的读者是刚步入新学校的新生。故选B项。

【38题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.(避免和那些说别人坏话或贬低别人的人呆在一起。相反,寻找那些在午餐时邀请别人坐在一起的人,那些在课堂上鼓励别人发言的人,或者那些在别人需要帮助时总是愿意帮助的人。)”可知,一个想要帮助你的人更有可能成为你的好朋友。故选C项。
【39题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. (然而,经过简单的介绍,你和对方都会感觉更舒服。)”可知,当你遇到不太熟悉的人时,你可以从简单的自我介绍开始。故选C项。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第六段“However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive.(然而,避免简单地问‘是’或‘否’的问题,因为一个词的回答不一定能让对话保持活力。)”可知,避免问“是”或“否”的问题是为了让交谈继续进行下去。故选A项。
(B)
Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw ink on pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress (垫子) and wait for him to fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage (愤怒). He tore the book from my hands and flung (扔、掷) it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you’ll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser (吝啬鬼) and, despite the hardship we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I’d collected enough coins I’d secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Sant Ana. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. “Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover. I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment (企业) and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours?”, I asked.
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he’s your friend too.” Sempere answered.
That afternoon I took my new friend home. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者与书籍的不解之缘,以及阅读对他成长的影响。
【41题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章整体内容,特别是第一段中“Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. (文字及其隐藏的神秘科学让我着迷,我在其中看到了一把可以打开新世界的钥匙)”和最后一段“Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done. (很快我就确信,除了学习狄更斯所做的事情之外,我不想在生活中做任何其他事情)”可知,文章主要讲述了作者热爱阅读,以及阅读对他成长的影响。因此,D项“对作者阅读爱好的描述”最能概括文章主旨。故选D。
【42题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. (我父亲不喜欢家里有书。书里有什么东西冒犯了他。他过去常常告诉我,如果我不想最终一事无成,最好放弃我所有疯狂的想法)”可知,作者的父亲不理解作者对文学的热爱,认为那是疯狂的想法。故选C。
【43题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. (书店老板会让我坐在角落里的椅子上,随心所欲地读任何我喜欢的书)”可知,作者最看重Sempere & Sons Bookshop的是可以随心所欲地读书。故选C。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中画线句“When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever. (当我要离开的时候,我会拖着脚走,心里沉甸甸的。如果由我决定,我会永远留在那里)”可知,作者要离开书店时,心里是不情愿的,所以拖着脚走。A. reluctance不情愿;B. annoyance恼怒;C. indifference漠不关心;D. regret遗憾。故选A。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是最后一段“Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done. (很快我就确信,除了学习狄更斯所做的事情之外,我不想在生活中做任何其他事情)和第四段中“If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever. (如果我说了算,我会永远呆在那里)”可知,作者小时候把书当作朋友,即便父亲反对也想尽办法阅读,以及后来得到《远大前程》这本书后如痴如醉地阅读,觉得世上没有比这更好的书,甚至想以后就像狄更斯先生那样写作等内容可以看出,阅读在作者的生活中为他提供了一种归属感,就像朋友一样陪伴着他。故选C。
(C)
Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way——by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beachcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
46. The underlined phrase “swap meets” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.
A. fitting rooms B. trading fairs
C. business talks D. group meetings
47. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.
A. what caused the shipping accident
B. when and where the shoes went missing
C. whether it was all right to use their shoes
D. how much they lost in the shipping accident
48. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
A. By collecting information from beachcombers.
B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.
D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.
49. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ________.
A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
B. making records for any lost objects on the sea
C. running a global currents research association
D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea
50. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To call people’s attention to ocean pollution.
B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
C To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.
【答案】46. B 47. C 48. A 49. D 50. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了海洋科学家Curtis Ebbesmeyer的一种独特研究洋流的方法——根据海上的漂浮物来研究洋流。 他通过寻问海洋搜寻,请他们帮忙来收集漂浮物的信息,用这些信息资料他做实验和研究,不断完善洋流模型的电脑程序设计,然后出版他的研究结果。
【46题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段的“try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear(试着搭配左右鞋来出售或穿)”可知人们要试穿或卖这些鞋,故推测这是在进行一个交易会,划线词“swap meets”的意思是“交易会”,和trading fairs意思相近,故选B。
【47题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.(不出所料,该公司告诉他他们没有。埃比斯梅尔意识到这可能是一个伟大的实验。如果他知道鞋子是何时何地下水的,并追踪它们降落的位置,他就能了解很多洋流的模式。)”可知,Ebbesmeyer打电话最根本的目的是询问是否可以使用他们的鞋子,故选C。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed.(Ebbesmeyer认识了他们中的很多人,并请他们帮忙收集关于鞋子落在哪里的信息。)”可知,Ebbesmeyer通过从海滩清查员那里收集信息来证明他的假设,故选A。
【49题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段第一句“Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean(Ebbesmeyer是一位著名的科学家,他会就海洋中发现的任何不寻常物体提出问题)”可知,Ebbesmeyer以打电话询问海上任何可疑物体而闻名,故选D。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way——by studying movements of random floating garbage.(今天的科学家们正努力研究洋流。大多数人使用卫星和其他高科技设备。然而,海洋专家Curtis Ebbesmeyer用一种特殊的方式——通过研究漂浮垃圾的随机运动。)”可知,本文的目的是解释研究洋流的独特方法。故选C。
(D)
Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon.
When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attribute (归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias.
So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome.
The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’ s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地).
In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with.
51. How would we define the other driver’s behavior in paragraph 1?
A. An emotional outburst. B. A display of bad manners.
C. A moment of carelessness. D. An unavoidable circumstance.
52. Why do we fall for the actor-observer bias?
A. To safeguard our self-image.
B. To avoid arguments with others.
C. To promote sympathy towards others.
D. To ensure fairness in interpersonal interactions.
53. What is the basic reason behind the difficulty in stopping the observer’s internal attribution behaviors?
A. They can’t totally be controlled.
B. They maintain people’s dignity.
C. They happen without people being aware of it.
D. People don’t know about the actor-observer effect.
54. How might an observer be more considerate to an actor’s actions?
A. By focusing on the situational factors.
B. By making the attribution process automatic.
C. By attributing these actions to internal factors.
D. By imagining themselves in the same situations.
55. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why we repeat our mistakes. B. How we can stop blaming others.
C. What is the science of social justice. D. Why we always ignore our own faults.
【答案】51. B 52. A 53. C 54. A 55. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“行动者—观察者偏差”,即人们往往会将他人负面的行为归 因于其个人特质,而将自己的相同行为归因于外部情境。作者指出了如何克服这种偏差,变得更加同情和善待他人。
【51题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. (想象一下:早上你送孩子上学迟到了。除此之外,外面还下着倾盆大雨。当你在高速公路上行驶时,另一辆车挡住了你。你开始认为他们一定是一个粗鲁的人,也是一个糟糕的司机)”可知,我们常常会将其他驾驶员的行为认为是不礼貌的表现。故选B。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome. (那么为什么行为人-观察者效应会发生呢?一般的解释是,它是一种维护个人尊严的防御机制。我们宁愿相信我们的错误来自我们无法控制的因素,因为这样我们就无法改变它们,我们更容易接受结果)”可知,为了维持我们的 自尊,我们陷入了一种防御机制,落入了“行动者—观察者偏差”的陷阱。故选A。
【53题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“This is where it gets tricky because the observer’ s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地). (这就是它变得棘手的地方,因为观察者的内部归因是一个自动过程,这意味着它们几乎是立即和无意识地发生的。)”可知,观察者的内在归因行为难以停止的基本原因是这些行为是在人们没有意识到的情况下发生的。故选C。
【54题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with. (为了在某些情况下对周围的人更加同情,我们必须使归因成为一个可控的过程。与自动过程不同,受控过程是指观察者有意识地将注意力集中在某件事上,并有意识地意识到这一过程。了解什么是行动者-观察者效应,以及它如何影响你自己的归因,是朝着对你交往的人更有同情心、更友善迈出的一步)”以及第二段“When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attribute (归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias. (当你根据内部因素来解释某人的行为时,比如假设打断你的人是个粗鲁的人,但把你自己的行为归因于外部情境因素,你就陷入了行动者-观察者偏见)”可知,“行动者—观察者效应”的无意识归因是观察者将行为者的行为归因到其内部因 素上。由此可推知,观察者可以通过关注情境因素,即外部因素,来理解行动者的行为。 故选A。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段“Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon. (想象一下:早上你送孩子上学迟到了。除此之外,外面还下着倾盆大雨。当你在高速公路上行驶时,另一辆车挡住了你。你开始认为他们一定是一个粗鲁的人,也是一个糟糕的司机。几分钟后,你不小心切断了别人的电话。你告诉自己,你的行为是由于你迟到了孩子的下车,因为下雨你看不清楚。为什么我们会自动地认为别人的消极行为是他们作为一个人的结果,而给自己找借口?行为者-观察者偏见可以解释这种令人困惑的现象)”可知,文章介绍了“行动者—观察者偏差”的概念(人们往往会将他人负面的行为归因 于其个人特质,而将自己的相同行为归因于外部情境),分析了其出现的原因,导致的后果,并提出了克服这种偏差的方法。D项“Why we always ignore our own faults (为什么我们总是会忽视自己的错误)”最能概括文意,适合作为标题。故选D。

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Before deciding to live in a two-story bus, my wife and I lived in a permanent home in Texas, along with our kids. We had been based in Dallas for over ten years while also renting out another house. But everything changed in 2020 when we were on a road trip to Utah. It became clear to us that spending quality time together was bringing us happiness. I had always worked long hours behind a desk, which meant that I spent very little time with my family. Since graduating college 10 years ago, I had spent a lot of my time earning money instead, thinking that it would somehow buy me happiness at some point, or get my family and me to a point of happiness. I soon realized that this was off base.
On the road trip to Utah, I was rushing to drive back to my job in Texas. I looked in my rearview mirror(后视镜) and saw that the kids were behaving well and having fun. My wife and I had big smiles on our faces, and we were all enjoying our time together. We had passed the great sand dunes(沙丘) in Colorado, but we couldn’t visit because I was rushing to get back.
At that point, I realized my happiness was right at that moment with my family. So I told my family we were going to spend more time as a family. We stopped at a place called the Capulin Volcano National Monument in New Mexico, and we walked around this old dormant (休眠的) volcano and even went down into it.
We’re not sure what the end goal will be. Maybe we’ll love this life so much that we’ll continue living in our two-story bus. We always say that home is where you park it.
56. What made the author realize the importance of quality family time?(no more than 6 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
57. What did the author use to believe could bring him and his family happiness?(no more than 3words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
58. What does the underlined part “off base” probably mean?(no more than 3 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
59. Why did the author and his family fail to visit the great sand dunes in Colorado?(no more than 10words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
60. How do you understand the saying “home is where you park it”?(no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】56. A road trip to Utah.
57. Earning money.
58. Not true.
59. Because he was rushing to drive back to work.
60. The saying reflects the idea that home is all about spending quality time with your family rather than a specific place.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者和家人曾经居住在德克萨斯州的一个固定住所,但在2020年的一次去犹他州的自驾游中,作者意识到与家人共度美好时光才是幸福的源泉。因此,作者决定改变生活方式,花更多时间与家人在一起。他们参观了新墨西哥州的卡普林火山国家纪念碑,并享受了家庭时光。作者表示,他们不确定未来的目标是什么,但可能会继续住在他们的双层巴士里,因为他们相信家就是停车的地方。
【56题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“But everything changed in 2020 when we were on a road trip to Utah. It became clear to us that spending quality time together was bringing us happiness(但在2020年我们去犹他州的一次公路旅行时,一切都改变了。我们清楚地认识到,共度美好时光能给我们带来幸福)”可知,是去犹他州的一次公路旅行让作者意识到家庭美好时光的重要性,故答案为A road trip to Utah.
【57题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Since graduating college 10 years ago, I had spent a lot of my time earning money instead, thinking that it would somehow buy me happiness at some point, or get my family and me to a point of happiness(自从10年前大学毕业后,我花了很多时间赚钱,以为在某个时候它会给我带来幸福,或者让我和我的家人达到幸福的境地)”可知,作者过去认为赚钱能给他和家人带来幸福,故答案为Earning money.
【58题详解】
考查词义猜测。根据文章第一段“I soon realized that this was …(我很快意识到这是……)”以及第二段“On the road trip to Utah, I was rushing to drive back to my job in Texas. I looked in my rearview mirror(后视镜) and saw that the kids were behaving well and having fun. My wife and I had big smiles on our faces, and we were all enjoying our time together(在去犹他州的自驾游中,我急着开车回德克萨斯州的工作。我看了看后视镜,发现孩子们表现得很好,玩得很开心。我和妻子脸上都洋溢着灿烂的笑容,我们都在一起享受着美好时光)”可知,作者在旅行中发现和家人共度美好时光才是幸福,而以前作者认为赚钱能带来幸福,可推理出作者认为之前的观点是不对的,所以这里的off base意思是“不对的,不真实的”,故答案为Not true.
【59题详解】
考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“We had passed the great sand dunes(沙丘) in Colorado, but we couldn’t visit because I was rushing to get back(我们经过了科罗拉多州的大沙丘,但我们没能去参观,因为我急着赶回去)”可知,作者和家人没能参观科罗拉多州的大沙丘是因为他急着开车回去工作,故答案为Because he was rushing to drive back to work.
【60题详解】
开放性试题。要言之有理,注意词数限制。根据第二段“On the road trip to Utah, I was rushing to drive back to my job in Texas. I looked in my rearview mirror (后视镜) and saw that the kids were behaving well and having fun. My wife and I had big smiles on our faces, and we were all enjoying our time together(在去犹他州的自驾游中,我急着开车回德克萨斯州的工作。我看了看后视镜,发现孩子们表现得很好,玩得很开心。我和妻子脸上都洋溢着灿烂的笑容,我们都在一起享受着美好时光)”以及文章最后一段“We always say that home is where you park it(我们总是说,家就是你停泊的地方)”可知,作者和家人在旅途中享受家庭时光,认为和家人共度美好时光才是幸福,可推理出这句话反映了家是与家人共度美好时光的地方,而不仅仅是一个特定的地方,故答案The saying reflects the idea that home is all about spending quality time with your family rather than a specific place.

第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50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。
(A)
If you’re new to a school or you are shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people. Also, participate in after-school clubs and events whenever you get the chance, since that will help you meet people outside of class!
Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You’re more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do.
If you’re a passionate reader, join a book club, go to public readings, or start a conversation with someone who carries novels around with their textbooks.
Spend time around people who show kindness
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand.
Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you’re around someone you don’t know, it is not unusual to just sit there quietly, especially if you’re shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
Keep the conversation going with open-ended questions.
When you start talking to someone, try asking them questions about what they like to see what you have in common with them. However, avoid simply asking yes or no questions, since one-word answers don’t necessarily keep a conversation alive. You can ask questions about whatever you’re already talking about, or you can change the subject if you feel that ran its course.
36. Who is the passage intended for?
A. Teachers. B. Students. C. Parents. D. Adults.
37. If you are fond of reading, you can ________.
A. join a club to make friends
B. approach people with lots of hobbies
C. spend your free time meeting different people
D. talk to people with the same interests
38. According to Paragraph 4, who is more likely to be a good friend?
A. One who enjoys the popularity.
B One who talks bad about others.
C. One who wants to help you.
D. One who always put others down.
39. According to Paragraph 5, what should you do first when you meet someone you don’t know well?
A. Start with a warm handshake.
B. Make eye contact with the person.
C. Start with a brief introduction of yourself.
D. Start by talking about a serious topic.
40. You should avoid asking yes or no questions to ________.
A. keep the conversation going B. end the conversation
C. show kindness D. respect others
(B)
Even then my only friends were made of paper and ink. At school I had learned to read and write long before the other children. Where my school friends saw ink on pages, I saw light, streets and people. Words and the mystery of their hidden science fascinated me, and I saw in them a key with which I could unlock a new world. My father didn’t like to see books in the house. There was something about them that offended him. He used to tell me that I’d better get rid of all my crazy ideas if I didn’t want to end up a nobody. I used to hide my books under the mattress (垫子) and wait for him to fall asleep so that I could read. Once he caught me reading at night and flew into a rage (愤怒). He tore the book from my hands and flung (扔、掷) it out of the window.
“If I catch you wasting electricity again, reading all this nonsense, you’ll be sorry.”
My father was not a miser (吝啬鬼) and, despite the hardship we suffered, whenever he could he gave me a few coins so that I could buy myself some treats like the other children. He was convinced that I spent them on sweets, but I would keep them in a coffee tin under the bed, and when I’d collected enough coins I’d secretly rush out to buy myself a book.
My favorite place in the whole city was the Sempere & Sons Bookshop on Calle Sant Ana. The bookseller would let me sit on a chair in a corner and read any book I liked to my heart’s content. When it was time for me to leave, I would do so dragging my feet, a weight on my soul. If it had been up to me, I would have stayed there forever.
One Christmas Sempere gave me that best gift I had ever received. “Great expectations, by Charles Dickens,” I read on the cover. I was aware that Sempere knew a few authors who frequented his establishment (企业) and, judging by the care with which he handled the volume, I thought perhaps this Mr. Dickens was one of them.
“A friend of yours?”, I asked.
“A lifelong friend. And from now on, he’s your friend too.” Sempere answered.
That afternoon I took my new friend home. It was a rainy winter, with days as gray as lead, and I read Great Expectations about nine times, partly because I had no other book at hand, partly because I did not think there could be a better one in the whole world and I was beginning to suspect that Mr. Dickens had written it just for me. Soon I was convinced that I didn’t want to do anything else in life but learn to do what Mr. Dickens had done.

Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way——by studying movements of random floating garbage. A scientist with many years’ experience, he started this type of research in the early 1990s when he heard about hundreds of athletic shoes washing up on the shores of the northwest coast of the United States. There were so many shoes that people were setting up swap meets to try and match left and right shoes to sell or wear.
Ebbesmeyer found out in his researches that the shoes — about 60,000 in total — fell into the ocean in a shipping accident. He phoned the shoe company and asked if they wanted the shoes back. As expected, the company told him that they didn’t. Ebbesmeyer realized this could be a great experiment. If he learned when and where the shoes went into the water and tracked where they landed, he could learn a lot about the patterns of ocean currents.
The Pacific Northwest is one of the world’s best areas for beachcombing (海滩搜寻) because winds and currents join here, and as a result, there is a group of serious beachcombers in the area. Ebbesmeyer got to know a lot of them and asked for their help in collecting information about where the shoes landed. In a year he collected reliable information on 1, 600 shoes. With this data, he and a colleague were able to test and improve a computer program designed to model ocean currents, and publish the findings of their study.
As the result of his work, Ebbesmeyer has become known as the scientist to call with questions about any unusual objects found floating in the ocean. He has even started an association of beachcombers and ocean experts, with 500 subscribers from West Africa to New Zealand. They have recorded all lost objects ranging from potatoes to golf gloves.
46. The underlined phrase “swap meets” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______________.
A. fitting rooms B. trading fairs
C. business talks D. group meetings
47. Ebbesmeyer phoned the shoe company to find out _____________.
A. what caused the shipping accident
B. when and where the shoes went missing
C. whether it was all right to use their shoes
D. how much they lost in the shipping accident
48. How did Ebbesmeyer prove his assumption?
A. By collecting information from beachcombers.
B. By studying the shoes found by beachcomber.
C. By searching the web for ocean currents models.
D. By researching ocean currents data in the library.
49. Ebbesmeyer is most famous for ________.
A. traveling widely the coastal cities of the world
B. making records for any lost objects on the sea
C running a global currents research association
D. phoning about any doubtful objects on the sea
50. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To call people’s attention to ocean pollution.
B. To warn people of shipping safety in the ocean.
C. To explain a unique way of studying ocean currents.
D. To give tips on how to search for lost objects on the beach.
(D)
Picture this: you are running late to drop your kids off at school in the morning. On top of this, it is pouring rain outside. While you are driving down the highway, another car cuts you off. You begin to think they must be a rude person who is also a terrible driver. A couple of minutes later, you, yourself accidentally cut off someone. You inform yourself your action is a result of the fact that you are late for your child’s drop-off and you cannot see well because of the rain. Why is it that we automatically assume others’ negative actions are a result of who they are as a person while giving ourselves excuses? The actor-observer bias (偏差) is an explanation for this confusing phenomenon.
When you explain someone’s behavior based on internal factors, like assuming the person who cuts you off is a rude person, but attribute (归因于) your own behavior to external situational factors, you are engaging in the actor-observer bias.
So why does the actor-observer effect occur? The general explanation is that it occurs as a defense mechanism for maintaining high personal dignity. We would rather believe that our faults come from factors we cannot control because then we cannot change them and it is easier for us to accept the outcome.
The actor-observer bias is the cause of many arguments between the actor and the observer as a result of a misunderstanding of the effect of external and internal factors. How can we stop thinking this way and become more sympathetic to the people around us? This is where it gets tricky because the observer’ s internal attributions are an automatic process which means they occur almost immediately and unconsciously (无意识地).
In order to become more sympathetic towards surrounding people in situations, we must make the attributions a controlled process. A controlled process is when the observer purposely focuses attention on something and is consciously aware of the process, unlike an automatic process. Knowing what the actor-observer effect is and how it can influence your own attributions is a good step toward becoming more sympathetic and kinder to people you interact with.
51. How would we define the other driver’s behavior in paragraph 1?
A. An emotional outburst. B. A display of bad manners.
C. A moment of carelessness. D. An unavoidable circumstance.
52. Why do we fall for the actor-observer bias?
A. To safeguard our self-image.
B. To avoid arguments with others.
C. To promote sympathy towards others.
D. To ensure fairness in interpersonal interactions.
53. What is the basic reason behind the difficulty in stopping the observer’s internal attribution behaviors?
A. They can’t totally be controlled.
B. They maintain people’s dignity.
C. They happen without people being aware of it.
D. People don’t know about the actor-observer effect.
54. How might an observer be more considerate to an actor’s actions?
A. By focusing on the situational factors.
B. By making the attribution process automatic.
C By attributing these actions to internal factors.
D. By imagining themselves in the same situations.
55. What is the best title for the text?
A. Why we repeat our mistakes. B. How we can stop blaming others.
C. What is the science of social justice. D. Why we always ignore our own faults.

Before deciding to live in a two-story bus, my wife and I lived in a permanent home in Texas, along with our kids. We had been based in Dallas for over ten years while also renting out another house. But everything changed in 2020 when we were on a road trip to Utah. It became clear to us that spending quality time together was bringing us happiness. I had always worked long hours behind a desk, which meant that I spent very little time with my family. Since graduating college 10 years ago, I had spent a lot of my time earning money instead, thinking that it would somehow buy me happiness at some point, or get my family and me to a point of happiness. I soon realized that this was off base.
On the road trip to Utah, I was rushing to drive back to my job in Texas. I looked in my rearview mirror(后视镜) and saw that the kids were behaving well and having fun. My wife and I had big smiles on our faces, and we were all enjoying our time together. We had passed the great sand dunes(沙丘) in Colorado, but we couldn’t visit because I was rushing to get back.
At that point, I realized my happiness was right at that moment with my family. So I told my family we were going to spend more time as a family. We stopped at a place called the Capulin Volcano National Monument in New Mexico, and we walked around this old dormant (休眠的) volcano and even went down into it.
We’re not sure what the end goal will be. Maybe we’ll love this life so much that we’ll continue living in our two-story bus. We always say that home is where you park it.
