My husband Stephen and I had planned a trip to Lithuania and Poland, but his worsening
heart condition prevented him from joining. He insisted I go alone, marking my first solo journey
in over 20 years. Despite my fears, I set off, feeling like I was on a flying Noah’s Ark surrounded
by couples.
In Vilnius, I found comfort in a website, which offered pay-what-you-choose walking tours.
These tours became the highlight of my trip. I took five tours, each morning setting out to explore
the city's old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and sent Stephen photos each night. Our
guide, Ieva, shared her deep knowledge of history and culture. I connected with travelers from
various backgrounds, including a Polish professor who invited me to an art exhibit. I also traced
my grandmother’s footsteps in Jewish Vilnius, visiting places she might have known. These tours,
full of surprises, were perfect for a solo traveler, offering connection and flexibility. On my last
day, Ieva gifted me a chocolate map of Lithuania for my enthusiastic participation.
I missed Stephen but grew increasingly confident in managing daily life challenges. I
navigated apartment lockboxes, shopped in local supermarkets, and cooked, activities I was once
less skilful at. In Poland, I continued with pay-what-you-choose tours, adapting to larger groups. I
高三英语 第 3 页 共 9 页
walked over 20,000 steps daily, often revisiting places from the tours or discovering street
festivals. In Lodz, I took a private tour with Milena, who helped me find my family's history,
including the homes of my great aunts and their sufferings during the war.
Stephen was hospitalized just before I returned, and we spent his hospital stay looking at my
trip photos and videos. His recovery was slow, but my independent travels allowed me to manage
our home smoothly, benefiting us both. This journey not only reconnected me with my roots but
also empowered me with a newfound confidence in my ability to travel and live on my own.

Sarah Presch, digital marketing director at Dragon Metrics, highlights concerns about how Google
manages search results, particularly on controversial topics. She discovered that Google is essentially
delivering information based on what users want to see, rather than providing a balanced view, creating
a “bias (偏见) machine”.
With over 6.3 million queries processed every second, Google's search results hold immense
influence over public knowledge and perception. Users tend to focus only on the first few links, limiting
their exposure to diverse viewpoints. This dynamic raises the issue of “filter bubbles”, where users may
be trapped in a cycle that strengthens their existing beliefs. Critics argue that the algorithms (算法) used
by Google contribute significantly to this problem, presenting a limited selection of information based
on users’ preferences.
Mark Williams-Cook, founder of AlsoAsked, emphasizes the technical limitations of search
engines and the misunderstandings surrounding them. He references internal Google documents
revealing that the company often relies on user engagement data rather than comprehending content.
高三英语 第 4 页 共 9 页
This practice can promote confirmation bias, leading users towards information that aligns with their
views, similar to a child choosing an unhealthy diet based only on preference.
Google acknowledges the complexity of its search system and emphasizes ongoing efforts to
enhance its algorithms to tackle these issues. While the company declares that it provides a range of
viewpoints, the reality remains that most users do not go beyond the top search results, which limits their
exposure to diverse perspectives.
Critics believe Google should better educate users about how its search engine functions, as a
clearer understanding of these processes could foster critical consumption of information. As Google
evolves into an “answer engine” that provides direct information, the challenge of ensuring balanced and
informative content remains crucial for public knowledge.
8.What is a possible consequence of “filter bubbles”?
A. A craze for controversial topics. B. A prohibition on search engines.
C. Dependence on online information. D. Inaccessibility to differing opinions.
9.Why doesMarkWilliams-Cook criticize Google’s search engine?
A. It depends heavily on user data. B. It provides wrong information.
C. It promotes unhealthy lifestyles. D. It fails to comprehend instructions.
10.What does Google declare regarding search results?
A. It provides a diversity of ideas. B. It’s the users who are to blame.
C. Its algorithms are accurate enough. D. Its search system is far from complex.
11.What do critics suggest Google do?
A. Provide easier access to information.
B. Teach more public knowledge online.
C. Educate its users about consumption habits.
D. Publicize its search engine’s working principle.
D
None of us would like to believe that we are capable of evil. However, Zimbardo’s Stanford
prison experiment showed that we all have this potential. It all depends on the situation.
Phillip Zimbardo was a researcher at Stanford University. In 1972, he recruited (招募 ) 24
mentally healthy, male, college students for an experiment taking place in a fake (假的) prison in
the basement of Stanford. These participants were randomly divided into 2 groups: prison guards
and prisoners. The guards received a uniform and mirrored sunglasses to wear for the job. Then,
after being sent home, the prisoners were publicly arrested at their homes on a Sunday morning.
They were processed at a real police station before being transported to the ‘prison’.
高三英语 第 5 页 共 9 页
No one could have predicted what would happen next. The guards weren’t given any specific
instructions on how to behave. Yet, very soon they began acting in extreme ways: they prevented
prisoners from eating, took away their bedding, forced them to remove their clothes, and even
punished them with chores such as cleaning toilets with their bare hands. As well as this, the
prisoners were submitting to the guards—even though they knew that they hadn’t actually done
anything wrong and weren’t even in a real prison!
After just thirty-six hours, a prisoner had to be removed from the study as he had sunk into a
deep depression with fits of anger and uncontrollable crying. A few days later, other prisoners
displayed similar symptoms. The guards also continued to abuse them. It was at this point that
Zimbardo was told to stop the experiment. It was shut down after just six days.
This experiment demonstrates the power of the situation in influencing how we act. Good
people, just like you or me, are capable of evil acts. However, the power of the situation doesn’t
always have to be bad: it can also be a force for good.
Of course, we could never repeat this experiment for ethical (伦理的) reasons. This means
that we need to assess how valid Zimbardo’s conclusions really are. For example, demand
characteristics — how the guards assumed they should act—may have significantly shaped their
behaviour.
12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The aim of the experiment. B. The design of the experiment.
C. The finding of the experiment. D. The limitation of the experiment.
13. What behaviours did the guards exhibit?
A. They abused prisoners. B. They criticized prisoners.
C. They followed the instructions. D. They committed crimes of violence.
14. Why did Zimbardo stop the experiment?
A. The experiment achieved its goals.
B. The experiment became unaffordable.
C. The guards turned out uncontrollable.
D. The prisoners suffered mental collapses.
15. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A conflict in prison
B. A pioneer in psychology
C. The power of the situation
D. The importance of virtues

多余选项。
We spend around a third of our lives sleeping. It is vital to our survival, but despite years of
research, scientists still aren’t entirely sure why we do it.
There have been many theories about why humans sleep, from a way to rest after the day’s
activities to simply a way to fill time until we can do something useful. 16 . The body repairs
itself just as well when we are sitting quietly. And we wouldn’t need to catch up on sleep during
the day if it were just to fill empty time at night.
One of the major problems with sleep insufficiency is a resulting decline in cognitive (认知)
ability. 17 . We will find ourselves struggling with memory, learning, planning and reasoning.
A lack of sleep can actually have severe effects on our mood and performance of everyday tasks.
Sleep can be divided into two broad stages: non-rapid eye movement (NREM), and rapid eye
movement (REM) sleep. 18 . When this is occurring, this is the time when we sleep the
deepest. Without NREM sleep, our ability to form declarative memories, such as learning to
associate pairs of words, can be seriously impaired. 19 . It is also the time of peak growth
hormone (荷尔蒙) release in the body. This stage is important for cell reproduction and repair.
20 . Some scientists argue that it allows our brains a safe place to practice dealing with
situations or emotions that we might not encounter during our daily lives. Others think that it
might be a way to unlearn memories, or to process unwanted feelings or emotions. However, no
one knows the real answer.
A. The majority of our sleep is NREM.
B. The purpose of REM sleep is unclear.
C. But all of these ideas are somewhat imperfect.
D. Our brains just don’t work properly without sleep.
E. Scientists managed to discover the secret of sleep.
F. People don’t know the role NREM plays in improving our health.
G. Deep sleep is important for turning short-term memories into long-term storage.

第二节(满分 25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walking across campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when
you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in desperate search of a friendly face, a smile, anything. I
was quite disappointed, to say the least. And I, in turn, felt somewhat foolish, walking across
campus with a false smile on my face. I was simply attempting to follow the advice my mother
had given me years before: when things get awkward, smile. No matter where you are, a smile
will always be understood. A smile is universal. At that very moment, however, I felt my mother’s
advice didn’t work.
On top of it all, my mind was racing with questions and concerns typical of any 13-year-old
on the first day of school: where would I sit at lunch? Who would I talk to? Not to mention, how
would I make friends when I didn’t even speak the language? My heartbeat quickened, and I felt
nervous. Still, I did my best to maintain calm so as not to let my guard down and reveal to others
just how scared I truly was.
When the teacher introduced me to the class as the “American girl”, 10 sets of hands
immediately shot up. Some students had questions. Others wanted to practice their English with
me. Because I didn’t speak much Chinese yet, I communicated with the other students through
hand motions mixed in with broken English and Chinese. Despite the attention, I wasn’t sure how
much of it was positive. It was almost as if they weren’t sure what to make of me and I was being
examined. Then again, who could blame them? After all, I was the first American ever to attend
the school. So basically, we were all first timers.
注意:
1.续写词数应为 150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then came the first class— Chinese painting.
As I burnt with great embarrassment, Li Hua, who was next to me, gave me a warm smile.
