Includes a 2-hour picnic with set up and clean up. $50 per add 1 hour.(每位成人60.00美元，每名儿童30.00元。包括2小时的野餐，包括设置和清理。每增加1小时50美元)”可知，12名成人和10名儿童一起进行3小时的家庭野餐需要60x12+30x10+50=1070美元。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据各段落标题“Family-Style Picnic (家庭式野餐)”、“Social Picnic Party (社交野餐会)”、“We Love This Formal Picnic!(我们喜欢这个正式的野餐！)”和“Birthday Party Picnic (生日聚会野餐)”可知，这些野餐选择是根据活动的目的进行分类的。故选D。 B “Can I have that banana? I’m still hungry,” said a sixth-grade student staring at a bin full of unopened bananas, apples, milk, and a couple of unopened, plastic-wrapped sandwiches at a public middle school in Fayetteville, Arkansas recently. These unopened items are the result of a student food waste examination conducted in partnership with the school’s Green Team, the University of Arkansas, and the World Wildlife Fund. Some trays (托盘) have been picked clean, some picked over, and others hold untouched, unopened foods. And, while some students are totally full, others remain hungry. Connecting the dots between these two kinds of students is the idea of a “share table”, a way to address both student hunger and food waste in school meal programs during the school year and summer. Share tables are exactly what they sound like: places to drop off things like packages of carrots, bananas, or apples, or unopened cartons (盒) of milk for other students to pick up free of charge. With the USDA’s encouragement, a growing number of school lunch programs across the country are now offering share tables. There are a number of benefits — economic, environmental, and public health — for supporting share tables. Share tables enable us to use the federal tax dollars we invest in feeding 31 million kids each day for their highest and greatest good. When students offer their unopened, unconsumed foods to other students, they expand the impact of our investment in their food security. Share tables also promote the morality of food conservation and respect for the impacts of food waste. And decomposing food in landfills creates and gives off powerful greenhouse gases. Habituating children to share their uneaten food is also a public health “push” that can influence dietary choices at home and the behavior patterns they will carry into adulthood. Fayetteville sixth-grade science teacher Brandy Pledger said her students love the school’s share tables. “What they don’t take, we teachers take back to our classroom or departmental refrigerators to share with students in the afternoons and/ or in after-school programs.” 4. Why does the author mention the unopened food? A. To highlight the need to improve school meals. B. To show the problem of hunger in schools. C. To stress the importance of food security. D. To illustrate school food waste issues. 5. What can students do at share tables? A. Get free unopened food. B. Sell their uneaten food. C. Exchange food with others. D. Throw away their waste food. 6. What do we know about share tables from the text? A. They are opposed by many teachers. B. They are not well supported by schools. C. They have a positive impact on multiple aspects. D. They mainly focus on solving food waste problems. 7. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A scientific research report. B. A school brochure. C. An educational magazine. D. A food industry newsletter. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学校“共享餐桌”以减少食物浪费和解决学生饥饿问题。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“These unopened items are the result of a student food waste examination conducted in partnership with the school’s Green Team, the University of Arkansas, and the World Wildlife Fund. Some trays (托盘) have been picked clean, some picked over, and others hold untouched, unopened foods. And, while some students are totally full, others remain hungry.(这些未开封的食品是与该校的绿色团队、阿肯色大学以及世界自然基金会合作开展的一项学生食物浪费情况调查的结果。一些托盘已被吃得一干二净，一些被挑挑拣拣过，还有一些放着原封未动、尚未开封的食品。而且，有些学生已经吃得饱饱的，而另一些学生却仍然饿着肚子)”可知，这些未开封的食物是学生食物浪费检查的结果，一些托盘里的食物有的被吃干净，有的被挑拣过，还有的原封未动，由此推知，作者提到未开封的食品是为了说明学校食物浪费的问题。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Share tables are exactly what they sound like: places to drop off things like packages of carrots, bananas, or apples, or unopened cartons (盒) of milk for other students to pick up free of charge.(共享餐桌正如其名：这是一些可以让学生放下诸如成包的胡萝卜、香蕉或苹果，或者未开封的牛奶盒之类物品的地方，以供其他学生免费领取)”可知，学生在共享餐桌上可以得到免费的未开封食物。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“There are a number of benefits — economic, environmental, and public health — for supporting share tables. Share tables enable us to use the federal tax dollars we invest in feeding 31 million kids each day for their highest and greatest good. When students offer their unopened, unconsumed foods to other students, they expand the impact of our investment in their food security. Share tables also promote the morality of food conservation and respect for the impacts of food waste. And decomposing food in landfills creates and gives off powerful greenhouse gases. Habituating children to share their uneaten food is also a public health “push” that can influence dietary choices at home and the behavior patterns they will carry into adulthood.(支持设立共享餐桌有诸多益处，涵盖经济、环境和公共健康等方面。共享餐桌使我们能够将每天投入用于为3100万儿童提供食物的联邦税款用到最有益、最有价值的地方。当学生们把未开封、未食用的食物提供给其他同学时，这扩大了我们在保障他们食品安全方面投资的影响力。 共享餐桌还能促进节约粮食的道德观念，并让人们重视食物浪费所带来的影响。而且，填埋场中食物的分解会产生并释放出强效的温室气体。让孩子们养成分享未吃完食物的习惯，这也是对公共健康的一种“推动”，这种习惯会影响他们在家中的饮食选择，以及他们成年后会保持的行为模式)”可知，共享餐桌在经济、环境和公共健康等多个方面都有好处，能更好地利用投资的税款保障孩子的食物安全，促进节约食物的道德观念，减少食物浪费对环境的影响，还能影响孩子在家的饮食选择和成年后的行为模式。由此推知共享餐桌对多个方面都有积极影响。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中的“These unopened items are the result of a student food waste examination conducted in partnership with the school’s Green Team, the University of Arkansas, and the World Wildlife Fund.(这些未开封的食品是与该校的绿色团队、阿肯色大学以及世界自然基金会合作开展的一项学生食物浪费情况调查的结果)”可知，文章主要讲述了学校中为解决学生饥饿和食物浪费问题而设置的共享餐桌，介绍了其运作方式、好处等，内容围绕学校教育和学生生活相关，涉及到教育、环保、健康等多方面的教育理念，这一话题属于教育领域，因此文章可能出自一本教育杂志。故选C。 C There’s a song in your head. You keep hearing it repeatedly. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, which is a memory of a song. Earworms are common. A study showed that 90 percent of people experience them. Why do we get earworms? According to neurologist Oliver Sacks, music affects us whether we pay attention to it or not. We’re surrounded by music all the time in our everyday lives. Sacks wonders if there is a higher incidence (发生率) of earworms today because of all this music in our environment. Research on the primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) supports Sacks’ ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that processes sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory information. Some of this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in the auditory cortex for a long time. James Kellaris, a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati, thinks that only certain types of songs become earworms. These songs are repetitive, simple, and incongruous (不协调的) — something unexpected such as uneven rhythm. Your brain pays a lot of attention to a song like this, Kellaris says. Because it is repetitive and unusual, it stays longer in the auditory cortex. At that point, Kellaris believes, it becomes an annoying earworm. Advertisers often use jingles — short songs that are easy to remember to promote sales. Advertisers want jingles to stick in people’s minds to keep them thinking about their products. It seems that advertisers have learned what Kellaris has found out in his research. Is there any way to get rid of an earworm? Here are some tips Kellaris collected: replace the earworm song with another song, try to distract yourself by doing an intense activity such as exercising, or tell someone about your earworm. What if none of these strategies work? Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the music in your head! 8. How does the author lead to the topic? A. By giving a definition. B. By clarifying a question. C. By drawing a conclusion. D. By describing a phenomenon. 9. What might contribute to the higher incidence of earworms today? A. People having better memories. B. The decrease in the quality of music. C. The large amount of music around us. D. People listening to music more carefully. 10. Why does the author mention auditory cortex? A. To explain the workings of earworms. B. To prove the significance of music. C. To emphasize the necessity of the research. D. To introduce the effect of memory. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. Earworms come and go in a flash. B. Jingles have nothing to do with earworms. C. Earworms are welcomed by music lovers. D. Enjoying the earworms might be the last choice. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了耳虫现象、其成因、相关研究及应对方法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There’s a song in your head. You keep hearing it repeatedly. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, which is a memory of a song.(有一首歌在你的脑海里萦绕。你不断地反复听到它。你无法让它停下来，这快把你逼疯了！你遇到过这种情况吗？也许你正遭受着“耳虫”的困扰，“耳虫”就是对某一首歌的记忆)”并结合下文对耳虫的成因及相关研究的介绍可知，作者通过描述一种现象，即脑海里反复出现一首歌且无法停止的现象，来引出“耳虫”这个话题。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Sacks wonders if there is a higher incidence (发生率) of earworms today because of all this music in our environment.(Sacks怀疑，由于我们所处环境中存在着这么多的音乐，如今“耳虫”的发生率是否更高了)”可知，可能导致如今“耳虫”发生率较高的是我们周围大量的音乐。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Research on the primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) supports Sacks’ ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that processes sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory information. Some of this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in the auditory cortex for a long time.(对初级听觉皮层的研究支持了Sacks的观点。听觉皮层是大脑中处理声音的部分。它是一个用于少量听觉信息的短期存储系统。这些听觉信息中的一部分会被遗忘，而另一部分则会进入长期记忆。然而，歌曲似乎会在听觉皮层中停留很长时间)”可知这是在解释“耳虫”（歌曲在脑海中反复出现）产生的原理。由此推知，作者提到听觉皮层是为了解释“耳虫”的工作原理，即为什么某些歌曲会在我们脑海中反复出现且难以摆脱。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Is there any way to get rid of an earworm? Here are some tips Kellaris collected: replace the earworm song with another song, try to distract yourself by doing an intense activity such as exercising, or tell someone about your earworm. What if none of these strategies work? Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the music in your head!(有没有什么办法能摆脱“耳虫”呢？以下是Kellaris收集的一些建议：用另一首歌来取代那首在脑海中挥之不去的歌，尝试通过做一些剧烈的活动（比如锻炼）来分散自己的注意力，或者跟别人聊聊你所遭遇的“耳虫”情况。要是这些办法都行不通该怎么办呢？那么或许你就应该放松下来，试着去享受你脑海中的那首音乐！)”可知，先介绍了一些摆脱“耳虫”的方法，如果这些方法都不起作用，试着享受脑海中的音乐，由此推断出，享受“耳虫”可能是最后的选择。故选D。 D Why do Americans persist with large tips? The conventional explanation is that it encourages good service. Anthony Gill of the American Institute for Economic Research explains it as a solution to a principal-agent problem. Restaurant managers want good waiters, but struggle to monitor performance. Tipping in effect outsources supervision to the customer. Mr Lynn has found that when restaurants have removed tipping and instead charged higher prices, online customer ratings have suffered. Yet there is reason to think America is approaching peak tip. First, consider the huge numbers. Tip inflation (膨胀), i.e., tipflation is a form of super-inflation. If tips were a fixed percentage, they would rise at the rate of general restaurant inflation. Since the percentage actually increases over time, tipflation is bound to exceed restaurant inflation. This matters because, following the dramatic jump in prices of the past few years, spending on meals out has hit 5.6% of post-tax incomes in America, up from the 4.5-5% typical in the previous half-century. People have long complained about tipping. Now complaints are more forceful. The legal landscape is also constantly changing. Many restaurants in America pay what is known as a tipped minimum wage, which can be as low as $2.13. The rest — to get to the state minimum wage — is meant to come from tips. In practice many servers earn well above that. Restaurant owners like this system because it gives them flexibility to hire more workers and to keep menu prices down, knowing that customers will directly cover wage costs through tipping. But little by little cities and states are applying their true minimum wages to all workers, whether tipped or not. Higher minimum wages raise labour costs for restaurants. Some restaurants have responded by cutting staff or shutting during slow hours, while others have added compulsory service charges or raised prices. From a broader economic perspective, the impact need not be quite so dramatic: the main effect for customers will be to see some of the cost of their meal migrating from the tip line on their receipts to the upfront food price. This does not mean that tips will go away — they are too deeply rooted in American life. But the eye-watering amounts may start to decrease. The country is at a tipping-point. 12. What is the function of tipping according to Anthony Gill? A. It shows customers’ generosity. B. It makes waiters more competitive. C. It keeps menu prices down. D. It solves a principal-agent problem. 13. What does the word “outsources” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Transfers. B. Introduces. C. Awards. D. Teaches. 14. What can be inferred from the change of the legal landscape? A. Customers will pay less for meals. B. Restaurants’ operation costs will rise. C. Restaurant owners will hire more workers. D. The tipped minimum wage will be cancelled. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The financial burden of tipping for Americans. B. The origin and transformation of tipping practices. C. The influence of the legal framework on tipped wages. D. The ways restaurants cope with tipping issues. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要讨论了美国小费文化的起源、现状、原因及其可能的转变。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Anthony Gill of the American Institute for Economic Research explains it as a solution to a principal-agent problem.(美国经济研究所的Anthony Gill将其解释为解决委托代理问题的一种方式)”可知，小费的功能是解决委托代理问题。故选D。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“The conventional explanation is that it encourages good service. Anthony Gill of the American Institute for Economic Research explains it as a solution to a principal-agent problem. Restaurant managers want good waiters, but struggle to monitor performance. Tipping in effect outsources supervision to the customer.(传统的解释是，它鼓励良好的服务。美国经济研究所的安东尼·吉尔将其解释为对委托代理问题的解决方案。餐厅经理想要好的服务员，却很难监督他们的表现。给小费实际上是把outsources监督外包给了顾客)”可知，顾客充当着监督作用，小费实际上把监督权转给了顾客，所以“outsources”意为“转移”。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Higher minimum wages raise labour costs for restaurants.(更高的最低工资提高了餐厅的劳动力成本)”可知，法律变化会导致餐厅运营成本上升。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The conventional explanation is that it encourages good service. (传统的解释是，它鼓励良好的服务)”以及根据第二段“Yet there is reason to think America is approaching peak tip.(然而，我们有理由认为美国正在接近小费的顶峰）”以及最后一段“This does not mean that tips will go away — they are too deeply rooted in American life. But the eye-watering amounts may start to decrease. The country is at a tipping-point.(这并不意味着小费会消失——小费在美国人的生活中根深蒂固。但令人流泪的量可能会开始减少。这个国家正处于一个转折点)”可知，短文主要讲小费习惯的起源和转变。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Protect Against Undue Influence Online The potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity.

As a newcomer, she’d come up with a special title for each classmate to remember the other kids. There was Kevin, Champion of the Clean Desk. Lynnie, Champion of Knowing the Answer First… Thinking hard, she finally decided her own title: Champion of Quiet. Maggie felt blue as Tuesday fell again. Mr. Murphy, the gym teacher, asked for volunteer captains to pick their own basketball teams. The usual hands shot into the air. Maggie sighed and glanced to her right. She caught the eye of Jasmine. Champion of Awkward, a girl who was sometimes picked last, too. Then Maggie had an idea. So when Mr. Murphy asked if anyone else wanted to volunteer, Maggie felt her hand slowly rise. Looking again at Jasmine, she took a big breath. Maybe it was time for her to use her voice. “Maggie?” Mr. Murphy smiled. “You want a turn?” “Yes,” she said. The class whispered. Maggie leading a team? “Yes,” she answered again, louder this time. Mr. Murphy waved Maggie to the front, where the other three captains—Champion of Jumping Rope, Champion of Never Misses a Shot, and Champion of Doesn’t Know How to Lose—stood, ready to choose their teams. “Maggie, you get first pick,” said Mr. Murphy. “Jasmine,” announced Maggie. The class snickered. A joke? More than once, Jasmine had tried to score on the wrong basket. Eyes wide, Jasmine took her place beside Maggie. The other three captains called out familiar names—the best players on the basketball court. It was Maggie’s turn again. “I choose Frank.” Frank (Champion of the Untied Shoelace) could not throw, or catch. He knew what it felt like to be the last pick. But not today. Three very talented teams took shape. And then there was Maggie’s team. Maggie looked at her teammates. There stood Jasmine and Frank, plus Gillian (Champion of Chatter) and George (Champion of Sleepy). “I have chosen the worst team in the history of the world,” Maggie thought to herself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. The other teams looked at them with scornful smiles, assuming that the game would be a quick and easy victory. As the game began, Maggie’s team displayed a surprising lack of skill, but they played with heart and determination, Jasmine’s awkward attempts at scoring drew laughter, but she persevered, Frank’s untied shoelaces tripped him up repeatedly, but he never gave up. Gillian’s chatter turned into encouraging shouts, and George’s sleepy eyes lit up with the excitement of the game. Hard as they tried, they lost the game. They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. For the first time, they tasted the fulfillment and joy of being an integral part of a team. They transformed from a group of individuals to a cohesive unit, supporting and celebrating each other. As the final buzzer sounded, Maggie turned towards her team, beaming with pride. “We are, indeed, the Champions of No Score!” she declared and her teammates erupted into cheers. It enlightened them that victory was not solely determined by the scoreboard, but about the journey and the spirit of teamwork. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Maggie刚来到这个学校，她很讨厌星期二，因为她在学校体育课上总是被最后选中。她根据同学们的性格特点，给每个人起了特别的名字，把自己称为“安静冠军”。这天是星期二，在体育课上，Maggie鼓起勇气自愿成为篮球队的队长，她选择了一支由不太擅长体育的同学组成的队伍。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Maggie的队伍手拉手走进球场”可知，第一段可描写其他队伍轻视Maggie的队伍，认为会轻松取胜，但是没想到Maggie的队员们都很努力，积极表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“他们确实输得很惨，但一些积极的东西开始在他们身上展现出来”可知，第二段可描写Maggie的队伍体现出的积极的品质，以及比赛结束后大家虽然失败了，但是非常开心，他们从中获得的感悟。 2. 续写线索：Maggie的队伍进入球场——受到轻视——努力表现——输掉比赛——积极品质——赛后行为——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：assume/think ②展现：display/present/demonstrate ③放弃：give up/quit ④转变：transform/shift/change ⑤宣布：declare/announce ⑥决定：determine/decide 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②快乐：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] The other teams looked at them with scornful smiles, assuming that the game would be a quick and easy victory.

B “Can I have that banana? I’m still hungry,” said a sixth-grade student staring at a bin full of unopened bananas, apples, milk, and a couple of unopened, plastic-wrapped sandwiches at a public middle school in Fayetteville, Arkansas recently. These unopened items are the result of a student food waste examination conducted in partnership with the school’s Green Team, the University of Arkansas, and the World Wildlife Fund. Some trays (托盘) have been picked clean, some picked over, and others hold untouched, unopened foods. And, while some students are totally full, others remain hungry. Connecting the dots between these two kinds of students is the idea of a “share table”, a way to address both student hunger and food waste in school meal programs during the school year and summer. Share tables are exactly what they sound like: places to drop off things like packages of carrots, bananas, or apples, or unopened cartons (盒) of milk for other students to pick up free of charge. With the USDA’s encouragement, a growing number of school lunch programs across the country are now offering share tables. There are a number of benefits — economic, environmental, and public health — for supporting share tables. Share tables enable us to use the federal tax dollars we invest in feeding 31 million kids each day for their highest and greatest good. When students offer their unopened, unconsumed foods to other students, they expand the impact of our investment in their food security. Share tables also promote the morality of food conservation and respect for the impacts of food waste. And decomposing food in landfills creates and gives off powerful greenhouse gases. Habituating children to share their uneaten food is also a public health “push” that can influence dietary choices at home and the behavior patterns they will carry into adulthood. Fayetteville sixth-grade science teacher Brandy Pledger said her students love the school’s share tables. “What they don’t take, we teachers take back to our classroom or departmental refrigerators to share with students in the afternoons and/ or in after-school programs.” 4. Why does the author mention the unopened food? A. To highlight the need to improve school meals. B. To show the problem of hunger in schools. C. To stress the importance of food security. D. To illustrate school food waste issues. 5. What can students do at share tables? A. Get free unopened food. B. Sell their uneaten food. C. Exchange food with others. D. Throw away their waste food. 6. What do we know about share tables from the text? A. They are opposed by many teachers. B. They are not well supported by schools. C. They have a positive impact on multiple aspects. D. They mainly focus on solving food waste problems. 7. Where is this text probably taken from? A. A scientific research report. B. A school brochure. C. An educational magazine. D. A food industry newsletter. C There’s a song in your head. You keep hearing it repeatedly. You can’t make it stop, and it’s driving you crazy! Has this happened to you? Maybe you have suffered from an earworm, which is a memory of a song. Earworms are common. A study showed that 90 percent of people experience them. Why do we get earworms? According to neurologist Oliver Sacks, music affects us whether we pay attention to it or not. We’re surrounded by music all the time in our everyday lives. Sacks wonders if there is a higher incidence (发生率) of earworms today because of all this music in our environment. Research on the primary auditory cortex (听觉皮层) supports Sacks’ ideas. The auditory cortex is the part of the brain that processes sound. It’s a short-term storage system for small amounts of auditory information. Some of this auditory information is forgotten, and some of it goes into long-term memory. However, songs appear to stay in the auditory cortex for a long time. James Kellaris, a professor of marketing at the University of Cincinnati, thinks that only certain types of songs become earworms. These songs are repetitive, simple, and incongruous (不协调的) — something unexpected such as uneven rhythm. Your brain pays a lot of attention to a song like this, Kellaris says. Because it is repetitive and unusual, it stays longer in the auditory cortex. At that point, Kellaris believes, it becomes an annoying earworm. Advertisers often use jingles — short songs that are easy to remember to promote sales. Advertisers want jingles to stick in people’s minds to keep them thinking about their products. It seems that advertisers have learned what Kellaris has found out in his research. Is there any way to get rid of an earworm? Here are some tips Kellaris collected: replace the earworm song with another song, try to distract yourself by doing an intense activity such as exercising, or tell someone about your earworm. What if none of these strategies work? Then perhaps you should just sit back and try to enjoy the music in your head! 8. How does the author lead to the topic? A. By giving a definition. B. By clarifying a question. C. By drawing a conclusion. D. By describing a phenomenon. 9. What might contribute to the higher incidence of earworms today? A. People having better memories. B. The decrease in the quality of music. C. The large amount of music around us. D. People listening to music more carefully. 10. Why does the author mention auditory cortex? A. To explain the workings of earworms. B. To prove the significance of music. C. To emphasize the necessity of the research. D. To introduce the effect of memory. 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. Earworms come and go in a flash. B. Jingles have nothing to do with earworms. C. Earworms are welcomed by music lovers. D. Enjoying the earworms might be the last choice. D Why do Americans persist with large tips? The conventional explanation is that it encourages good service. Anthony Gill of the American Institute for Economic Research explains it as a solution to a principal-agent problem. Restaurant managers want good waiters, but struggle to monitor performance. Tipping in effect outsources supervision to the customer. Mr Lynn has found that when restaurants have removed tipping and instead charged higher prices, online customer ratings have suffered. Yet there is reason to think America is approaching peak tip. First, consider the huge numbers. Tip inflation (膨胀), i.e., tipflation is a form of super-inflation. If tips were a fixed percentage, they would rise at the rate of general restaurant inflation. Since the percentage actually increases over time, tipflation is bound to exceed restaurant inflation. This matters because, following the dramatic jump in prices of the past few years, spending on meals out has hit 5.6% of post-tax incomes in America, up from the 4.5-5% typical in the previous half-century. People have long complained about tipping. Now complaints are more forceful. The legal landscape is also constantly changing. Many restaurants in America pay what is known as a tipped minimum wage, which can be as low as $2.13. The rest — to get to the state minimum wage — is meant to come from tips. In practice many servers earn well above that. Restaurant owners like this system because it gives them flexibility to hire more workers and to keep menu prices down, knowing that customers will directly cover wage costs through tipping. But little by little cities and states are applying their true minimum wages to all workers, whether tipped or not. Higher minimum wages raise labour costs for restaurants. Some restaurants have responded by cutting staff or shutting during slow hours, while others have added compulsory service charges or raised prices. From a broader economic perspective, the impact need not be quite so dramatic: the main effect for customers will be to see some of the cost of their meal migrating from the tip line on their receipts to the upfront food price. This does not mean that tips will go away — they are too deeply rooted in American life. But the eye-watering amounts may start to decrease. The country is at a tipping-point. 12. What is the function of tipping according to Anthony Gill? A. It shows customers’ generosity. B. It makes waiters more competitive. C. It keeps menu prices down. D. It solves a principal-agent problem. 13. What does the word “outsources” in Paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. Transfers. B. Introduces. C. Awards. D. Teaches. 14. What can be inferred from the change of the legal landscape? A. Customers will pay less for meals. B. Restaurants’ operation costs will rise. C. Restaurant owners will hire more workers. D. The tipped minimum wage will be cancelled. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The financial burden of tipping for Americans. B. The origin and transformation of tipping practices. C. The influence of the legal framework on tipped wages. D. The ways restaurants cope with tipping issues. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Protect Against Undue Influence Online The potential for undue influence has become increasingly significant in this era of digital interconnectivity.

As a newcomer, she’d come up with a special title for each classmate to remember the other kids. There was Kevin, Champion of the Clean Desk. Lynnie, Champion of Knowing the Answer First… Thinking hard, she finally decided her own title: Champion of Quiet. Maggie felt blue as Tuesday fell again. Mr. Murphy, the gym teacher, asked for volunteer captains to pick their own basketball teams. The usual hands shot into the air. Maggie sighed and glanced to her right. She caught the eye of Jasmine. Champion of Awkward, a girl who was sometimes picked last, too. Then Maggie had an idea. So when Mr. Murphy asked if anyone else wanted to volunteer, Maggie felt her hand slowly rise. Looking again at Jasmine, she took a big breath. Maybe it was time for her to use her voice. “Maggie?” Mr. Murphy smiled. “You want a turn?” “Yes,” she said. The class whispered. Maggie leading a team? “Yes,” she answered again, louder this time. Mr. Murphy waved Maggie to the front, where the other three captains—Champion of Jumping Rope, Champion of Never Misses a Shot, and Champion of Doesn’t Know How to Lose—stood, ready to choose their teams. “Maggie, you get first pick,” said Mr. Murphy. “Jasmine,” announced Maggie. The class snickered. A joke? More than once, Jasmine had tried to score on the wrong basket. Eyes wide, Jasmine took her place beside Maggie. The other three captains called out familiar names—the best players on the basketball court. It was Maggie’s turn again. “I choose Frank.” Frank (Champion of the Untied Shoelace) could not throw, or catch. He knew what it felt like to be the last pick. But not today. Three very talented teams took shape. And then there was Maggie’s team. Maggie looked at her teammates. There stood Jasmine and Frank, plus Gillian (Champion of Chatter) and George (Champion of Sleepy). “I have chosen the worst team in the history of the world,” Maggie thought to herself. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Hand in hand, the Maggie team walked onto the court. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ They did lose big, but something positive began to unfold in them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?
