Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2024·唐山模拟)Years ago,I interviewed James Patterson,an advertising manager,about the latest campaign.But all he wanted to talk about was fictionwriting.“I hope to be a writer.It is always in my head,” he said.
I remember thinking: Sure,you and everybody else.
A decade or so later,however,I was surprised to see James on TV,holding up his new book.
Mr Patterson's ability to see himself as a writer illustrates a concept known as “possible selves”.The term,coined in 1986 by the social psychologists Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius,grew out of research on selfconcept.While selfconcepts—“I am a kind person” or “I am a good parent”—are rooted in the present,the researchers found people are also informed by ideas about what they might become and how they might change.
These possible selves,both positive and negative,are closely related to motivation.A violin student who envisions life as a professional musician might be motivated to practice.A person whose feared possible self is an alcoholic may become a nondrinker.In a small study,when young adults were encouraged to envision themselves as either regular exercisers (hopedfor selves) or inactive (feared selves),both groups exercised more in the weeks afterward.
A possible self can take you beyond daydreams,which are often not necessarily grounded in reality.It can come to fruition if you build a bridge from your “now” self to the possible self.“If you're regularly dreaming of a different career,enroll in a course,shadow someone,take up a hobby or a side job.Making the transition requires you to say now,today,this week,these are the steps I can actually take to attain the goal,” said Daphna Oyserman,a psychology professor at the University of Southern California.
But don't quit your job just yet.An analysis of careertransition research concluded that successful reinventions require adjustments and reevaluations as you go.Mr Patterson,for example,wrote almost a dozen books while still at his ad agency; he found his style only after many tries.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“可能的自我”这一概念对个人发展的影响。
1.Why does the author mention the interview?

A.Different writing styles.
B.Multiple research methods.
C.Patterson's success in his advertising business.

Why do we find ugly animals so appealing? And what makes oddlooking creatures so cute?
Evolution (进化) plays a role.According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz,human attraction to childish features,such as big eyes,large heads and soft bodies,is an evolutionary adaptation that helps ensure that adults care for their young,guaranteeing the survival of their species.Oddlooking animals such as blobfish,pugs,and bulldogs all share these childish qualities that initiate an affectionate response among humans.And these childish characteristics increase a person's “protective behavior,attention and willingness to care” for the individual and reduce the “likelihood of attacks towards a child”,says Marta Borgi,a researcher.
Ugly animals often have other value—some,like the blobfish or the naked mole rat,live in extreme environments that they have adapted to in remarkable ways.Scientists are keen to study these animals to understand whether their biology might provide fresh insights that could lead to treatments for human health conditions such as cancer,heart disease and other deadly diseases.
Our fascination with uglycute animals can also be traced back to culturallybased causes.“The uglycute thing is very fashionable,” says Rowena Packer,a lecturer of animal behavior.“This is partly driven by social media,with many influential people showing off pet pugs and French bulldogs on the Internet,” she says.
But there are some serious welfare concerns around this trend.Vets are urging people not to choose a flatfaced dog,because they suffer from serious health problems.Pugs and French bulldogs which have been selectively produced experience breathing difficulties,repeated skin infections and eye diseases.
We may want to rethink our love for “uglycute” animals because of their silly features like protruding (鼓出的) eyes and wrinkly faces.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇议论文。本文通过引用几位研究员的调查结果,从进化角度、社会文化角度和生存角度阐述人类喜爱“丑萌”动物的原因。作者在文章最后从健康角度对人类这一喜爱提出了建议。
5.Why do people like ugly animals according to Konrad Lorenz?
A.People appreciate their efforts to survive.
B.People appreciate their super adaptability.
C.People are attracted by their childish looks.
D.People are fond of their fast response speed.
解析 C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Evolution(进化) plays a role...human attraction to childish features...is an evolutionary adaptation”和“Oddlooking animals...share these childish qualities”可知,Konrad Lorenz认为人们之所以被吸引,是因为这类丑动物的幼稚特征。由此可知,人们喜爱丑动物的原因是被它们幼稚的外表所吸引。故选C。
6.What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.What media are changing people.
B.How public practices influence people.
C.Whether social media is worth believing.
D.Why celebrities show off their pet animals.
解析 B 段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知,人类对“丑萌”动物的喜爱也有文化方面的原因的。一定程度上,社交媒体起了推动作用,如许多有影响力的人会在网上炫耀他们的“丑萌”的宠物。由此可推知,本段主要讲述公众的活动是如何影响人们对“丑萌”的动物的看法。故选B。
7.What's the author's attitude towards people's love for ugly animals?
A.Opposed. B.Supportive.
C.Indifferent. D.Cautious.
解析 D 观点态度题。文章第二至四段分别从进化角度、生存角度和社会文化角度阐述了人类喜爱“丑萌”动物的原因,但作者在文章最后两段从健康角度对人类这一喜爱提出了建议和提醒——重新思考对“丑萌”动物的喜爱。由此可推知,作者对人们喜爱“丑萌”动物的态度是十分谨慎的。故选D。
8.How does the author mainly answer the questions raised in paragraph 1?
A.By quoting different researchers' findings.
B.By showing some examples of keeping pets.
C.By observing people's behavior towards animals.
D.By referring to authoritative evolutionary theory.
解析 A 推理判断题。根据第一段的问题可以将答案定位到第二段中的“According to Austrian zoologist Konrad Lorenz”和“says Marta Borgi,a researcher”以及第四段中的“says Rowena Packer,a lecturer of animal behavior”。几处都是研究人员的调查发现。故选A。
