The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world. There are 56 known species of rats, which live on every continent except Antarctica. They are intelligent and adaptable, and can learn to complete many different tasks. Partly for these reasons, rats are often used in scientific and medical research. For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist (someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons. He developed a device called an operant (可操作的) conditioning chamber (also called a Skinner box). This box features a bar or lever that can provide a reward, such as food, to animals when they press it. Lignier bought two rats from a pet store and named them Augustin and Arthur, after himself and his brother. He placed them in a tall, transparent (透明) tower similar to a Skinner box with a camera attached to it. When a rat pressed a button inside the tower, the camera took a picture of the rat and the animal received a bit of sugar as a reward. Each photo was immediately displayed on a screen in front of the rats, “but honestly I don’t think they understood it,” Lignier told The New York Times. Then Lignier changed the device setup so it would not always release sugar on command, instead providing the reward only occasionally. Still, the rats kept pressing the button, and the camera kept snapping pictures. Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward. “Every time they push the button, they have pleasure inside their brain,” he told CBC Radio. Lignier said he designed the project to represent the way social media platforms encourage people to keep posting by providing unpredictable rewards such as comments, likes, and attention. As for Augustin and Arthur, Lignier said, “They’re really like performers, you know?” 4. Why did Augustin Lignier teach rats to take selfies? A. To show the wisdom of the rats. B. To do research on animal behavior. C. To make money by selling the photos. D. To carry out a project. 5. What did Lignier base his project on? A The design of a Skinner box. B. The behavior of pigeons. C. A famous psychologist’s research. D. His own experience with rats. 6. Why did the rats keep pressing the button even when they didn’t get a reward? A. They wanted more sugar. B. They enjoyed taking pictures. C. They liked the attention they received. D. They took pleasure in pressing the button. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lignier? A. Creative. B. Patient. C. Honest. D. Responsible. C “Sating from now on, to be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granola bars (燕麦棒),” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a Chocopie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do-delayed gratification: deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out? When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework? All humans have the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, which is a basic but fundamental concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure. Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem pleasant right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals. Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times where you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my Chocopie may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By making a contrast. B. By giving a definition. C. By citing a personal case. D. By listing detailed problems. 9. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification? A. Purchasing items regardless of budgets. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health. C. Limiting time on social media platforms. D. Finishing homework before watching TV. 10. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reminded. B. Highlighted. C. Introduced. D. Bothered. 11. What may the author agree with? A. Delayed gratification is pointless. B. Instant gratification should be prioritized. C. Enjoying the moment brings in endless pleasure. D. Instant treats paired with delayed gratification are sweeter. D Human beings’ curiosity about outer space hasn’t declined in the past decade, and with Jeff Bezos’ historic commercial flight to the edge of space this past summer, dreamers are that much closer to experiencing the Galaxy (银河系) for themselves. It’s reported that one company is aiming to make space a reality for people, and is pioneering a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future vacation choice. The project, now called Voyager Station, is run by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a construction company led by head of the Gateway Foundation and former pilot, John Blincow. Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build the world’s first to space hotel named “Voyager Station”, which is expected to open in 2027. With a date in close sight, the hotel’s architects and engineers are hard at work, aiming to design an out-of-this-world experience. They plan to decorate the suites with elegant bars and restaurants with a touch of space, as well as Earth-viewing lounges (休息处) and unique space food treats. The team is also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can’t normally do on Earth. Gravity will remain in the rooms and bars though because Voyager Station’s scientific design makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel that will steadily move and create simulated (模拟的) gravitational force, much like when a glass of water is spun around, the water doesn’t pour out. The hotel’s guests won’t feel much different than being on a huge ship steadily moving 12. What do we know about Gateway Foundation? A. It made space a reality for people. B. It aimed to build a space hotel. C. It promoted space tourism greatly. D. It planned a historic commercial flight. 13. What will the Voyager Station team use the reduced gravity to do? A. Provide unique space food. B. Let guests do space sports. C. Offer recreational activities. D. Decorate suits more easily. 14. Why does gravity exist in the rooms and bars? A. To prevent liquid from pouring. B. To make guests feel comfortable. C. To avoid guests’ travel sickness. D. To keep things in normal positions. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Time for Space Travel. B. Space Tourism Gaining Popularity. C. First-ever Commercial Flight to Space. D. First Space Hotel Set to Open. 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 第三部分 语言运用 (共三节，满分35分) 第一节 (共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Nature was David’s “childhood home”.

As I handed in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed by my families, who had been closely observing my progress. On the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit to Marco the next day to cheer for my academic progress. When I got the good news, I felt on top of the world and my spirits soared. As I lay in bed that night, a mix of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart, and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure. After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco Tower. Marco Tower, built in the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city. It is also considered one of the top tourist attractions in the region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down with joy. But then I felt a bit uneasy because of my fear of heights. Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth in the tower lift, unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific floor, I gasped in horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure. Seeing my family both take out their phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiled at me and said delightedly, “Just take it easy and you can do it.” 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。 I didn’t know whether to stay or not. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was totally struck by the view unfolding before my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025-2江苏省苏州实验中学科技城校3月质量调研 高二英语 第一部分 听力 (共两节，共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

As for Augustin and Arthur, Lignier said, “They’re really like performers, you know?” 4. Why did Augustin Lignier teach rats to take selfies? A. To show the wisdom of the rats. B. To do research on animal behavior. C. To make money by selling the photos. D. To carry out a project. 5. What did Lignier base his project on? A. The design of a Skinner box. B. The behavior of pigeons. C. A famous psychologist’s research. D. His own experience with rats. 6. Why did the rats keep pressing the button even when they didn’t get a reward? A. They wanted more sugar. B. They enjoyed taking pictures. C. They liked the attention they received. D. They took pleasure in pressing the button. 7. Which of the following can best describe Lignier? A. Creative. B. Patient. C. Honest. D. Responsible. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是法国艺术家和摄影师Augustin Lignier进行的一个艺术项目，他训练了两只老鼠自拍，以此评论现代社会中社交媒体的使用。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The creatures’ photographic training was part of an art project commenting on social media use in the modern world.(这些动物的摄影训练是一个艺术项目的一部分，该项目评论了现代社会对社交媒体的使用。)”可知，Augustin Lignier教老鼠自拍是为了完成一个项目，故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“For his project, Lignier took inspiration from B. F. Skinner, a famous psychologist (someone who studies the mind and behavior). Skinner was known for conducting behavior research with animals such as rats and pigeons.(在他的项目中，Lignier从著名的心理学家（研究思想和行为的人）B. F. Skinner那里获得了灵感。Skinner以对老鼠和鸽子等动物进行行为研究而闻名。)”可知，Lignier的项目是基于一位著名心理学家的研究。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Sometimes the rats received sugar but ignored it to keep pushing the button. Lignier said this was because the excitement of pressing the button had become its own sort of reward.(有时老鼠得到糖，但无视它继续按按钮。Lignier说，这是因为按下按钮的兴奋已经成为了它自己的一种奖励。)”可知，老鼠在没有得到奖励的情况下仍然继续按按钮是因为他们很乐意按下按钮。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He developed a device called an operant (可操作的) conditioning chamber (also called a Skinner box). This box features a bar or lever that can provide a reward, such as food, to animals when they press it.(他发明了一种叫做操作性条件反射室（也叫Skinner箱）的装置。这个盒子有一个杆或杠杆，当动物按下它时，可以提供奖励，比如食物。)”可知，Lignier是有创造力的。故选A。 C “Sating from now on, to be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granola bars (燕麦棒),” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a Chocopie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. Instant gratification is also the exact opposite of what we’re taught to do-delayed gratification: deciding to put off satisfying our current want to gain something better in the future. We’ve all encountered instant gratification before. Should I sleep in or wake up early to work out? When I get home, should I rest and watch TV first or get started on my homework? All humans have the tendency to seek pleasure and avoid pain, which is a basic but fundamental concept known as the pleasure principle. Originally coined by Sigmund Freud, it clearly states that all humans are driven, to some extent, by pleasure. Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem pleasant right now, it only results in pleasure plagued by guilt and last-minute panicking late at night. An inability to resist instant gratification may result in underachieving in the long term and failure to meet certain goals. Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times where you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my Chocopie may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A By making a contrast. B. By giving a definition. C. By citing a personal case. D. By listing detailed problems. 9. Which of the following is an example of instant gratification? A. Purchasing items regardless of budgets. B. Exercising regularly for long-term health. C. Limiting time on social media platforms. D. Finishing homework before watching TV. 10. What does the underlined word “plagued” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Reminded. B. Highlighted. C. Introduced. D. Bothered. 11. What may the author agree with? A. Delayed gratification is pointless. B. Instant gratification should be prioritized. C. Enjoying the moment brings in endless pleasure. D. Instant treats paired with delayed gratification are sweeter. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章通过个人违背健康饮食计划的例子引入即时满足的概念，对比了即时满足与延迟满足，指出即时满足虽带来短期快乐，但可能有负面后果，而与延迟满足结合则更为可取。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第一段““Sating from now on, to be healthy, I will NOT eat any snacks besides granola bars (燕麦棒),” is what I told myself yesterday, and yet here I am today chewing a Chocopie. I’m aware that I’m breaking my own promise to myself. Instead of eating this, I should be working out or something. But the thing is, chocolate is too good at this moment for me to refuse it! (“从现在开始，为了健康，除了格兰诺拉燕麦棒，我不会吃任何零食。”这是我昨天告诉自己的，而今天我却在这里嚼着一块Chocopie。我意识到我违背了对自己的承诺。与其吃这个，我还不如去健身什么的。但问题是，巧克力在这个时刻太好了，我无法拒绝它！)”和第二段“As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. (当我写这篇文章的时候，我正在体验所谓的即时满足——渴望体验快乐或满足，而不是为了未来的利益而拖延。基本上，当你想要的时候，你就会得到。)”可推知，作者通过讲述自己决定只吃燕麦棒来保持健康，但第二天却违背了这个决定而吃了Chocopie的个人经历来引入关于即时满足的话题。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“As I type this, I’m experiencing what’s called instant gratification — the desire to experience pleasure or fulfillment without delaying it for a future benefit. Essentially, when you want it, you get it. (当我写这篇文章的时候，我正在体验所谓的即时满足——渴望体验快乐或满足，而不是为了未来的利益而拖延。基本上，当你想要的时候，你就会得到)”可推知，即时满足的一个例子是不顾预算购买物品，因为它体现了立即追求快乐或满足而不考虑未来后果的行为。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。由文划线词上文“Constantly seeking quick pleasure may bring subsequent troubles. However pleasant not doing your homework may seem pleasant right now, it only results in pleasure (不断地寻求快速的快乐可能会带来随之而来的麻烦。不管现在不做作业看起来多么愉快，它只会带来快乐)”及下文“guilt and last-minute panicking late at night (内疚和深夜最后一刻的恐慌)”可知，因内疚和最后一刻的慌乱而烦恼，因此plagued的意思为“困扰，折磨”。A. Reminded提醒；B. Highlighted突出显示；C. Introduced介绍；D. Bothered使（某人）烦恼（或担忧、不安），给（某人）造成麻烦（或痛苦）。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Instant gratification, however, is not necessarily a bad thing. You don’t always have to say no to things you want at that moment, and it’s good to treat yourself when you need it. In other words, times where you “treat yourself” are only valuable in combination with delayed gratification. While my Chocopie may taste good now, it’ll taste even better if I only eat it after I’ve worked out or done something healthy. (然而，即时满足并不一定是一件坏事。在那一刻，你不必总是对你想要的东西说不，在你需要的时候善待自己是件好事。换句话说，你“善待自己”的时间只有在延迟满足的情况下才有价值。虽然我的巧克力现在可能很好吃，但如果我只在锻炼或做一些健康的事情后吃它，味道会更好)”可知，作者认为虽然即时满足不是坏事，但最好与延迟满足结合使用，例如在完成锻炼或做了有益健康的事情之后再享受Chocopie会感觉更好。由此推知，作者可能同意即时享受与延迟满足相结合会更甜美。故选D。 D Human beings’ curiosity about outer space hasn’t declined in the past decade, and with Jeff Bezos’ historic commercial flight to the edge of space this past summer, dreamers are that much closer to experiencing the Galaxy (银河系) for themselves. It’s reported that one company is aiming to make space a reality for people, and is pioneering a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future vacation choice. The project, now called Voyager Station, is run by Orbital Assembly Corporation, a construction company led by head of the Gateway Foundation and former pilot, John Blincow. Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build the world’s first to space hotel named “Voyager Station”, which is expected to open in 2027. With a date in close sight, the hotel’s architects and engineers are hard at work, aiming to design an out-of-this-world experience. They plan to decorate the suites with elegant bars and restaurants with a touch of space, as well as Earth-viewing lounges (休息处) and unique space food treats. The team is also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can’t normally do on Earth. Gravity will remain in the rooms and bars though because Voyager Station’s scientific design makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel that will steadily move and create simulated (模拟的) gravitational force, much like when a glass of water is spun around, the water doesn’t pour out. The hotel’s guests won’t feel much different than being on a huge ship steadily moving 12. What do we know about Gateway Foundation? A. It made space a reality for people. B. It aimed to build a space hotel. C. It promoted space tourism greatly. D. It planned a historic commercial flight. 13. What will the Voyager Station team use the reduced gravity to do? A. Provide unique space food. B. Let guests do space sports. C. Offer recreational activities. D. Decorate suits more easily. 14. Why does gravity exist in the rooms and bars? A. To prevent liquid from pouring. B. To make guests feel comfortable. C. To avoid guests’ travel sickness. D. To keep things in normal positions. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Time for Space Travel. B. Space Tourism Gaining Popularity. C. First-ever Commercial Flight to Space. D. First Space Hotel Set to Open. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个总部位于加利福尼亚洲的公司探索了创建世界上第一家太空酒店的想法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s reported that one company is aiming to make space a reality for people, and is pioneering a new age of space tourism. In 2019, the California-based company Gateway Foundation first explored the idea. Its dream was to make visiting space, in excellent accommodation, a future vacation choice.(据报道，有一家公司旨在让人们实现太空之旅的梦想，并开创太空旅游的新时代。2019年，总部位于加利福尼亚的 Gateway Foundation 公司首次探索了这个想法。它的梦想是让人们在优质的住宿条件下访问太空，成为未来的度假选择。)”可知，Gateway Foundation公司的目标是建造一个太空酒店。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The team is also taking advantage of the reduced gravity that will be felt in the station to plan to let their guests weightlessly carry heavy objects, jump higher or run faster in ways people can’t normally do on Earth.(该团队还利用空间站中感受到的重力减小的优势，计划让他们的客人在失重状态下搬运重物、跳得更高或跑得更快，这些都是人们在地球上通常无法做到的。)”可知，“Voyager Station”团队利用减小的重力让客人进行一些在地球上无法做到的活动，这些活动属于娱乐活动。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Gravity will remain in the rooms and bars though because Voyager Station’s scientific design makes it possible by creating artificial gravity within the hotel. The hotel is designed as a wheel that will steadily move and create simulated (模拟的) gravitational force, much like when a glass of water is spun around, the water doesn’t pour out. The hotel’s guests won’t feel much different than being on a huge ship steadily moving(不过，房间和酒吧里仍会有重力，因为“Voyager Station”的科学设计通过在酒店内创造人造重力使其成为可能。这家酒店被设计成一个轮子，它将稳定地移动并产生模拟重力，就像一杯水被旋转时，水不会倒出来一样。酒店的客人不会觉得和在一艘稳定行驶的巨大轮船上有太大区别。)”可知，房间和酒吧里存在重力是为了让客人感觉和在稳定行驶的巨轮上差不多，也就是为了让客人感到舒适。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Space tourism draws closer as Orbital Assembly Corporation has announced plans to build the world’s first to space hotel named ‘Voyager Station’, which is expected to open in 2027.(随着轨道装配公司宣布计划建造世界上第一家名为“Voyager Station”的太空酒店，太空旅游离我们越来越近了，该酒店预计将于2027年开业。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了世界上第一家太空酒店“Voyager Station”的相关信息以及它的设计和特色等。所以D选项First Space Hotel Set to Open(第一家太空酒店即将开业)符合文章主旨。故选D项。 第二节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing. ____16____ The problem is that we still follow a mindset that resembles the era of assembly (组装) lines, which doesn’t foster or facilitate the type of work needed today. Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached. ____17____ This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work. ____18____ It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time. ____19____ Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization. Data suggests that it’s better to work on tasks that involve creativity, imagination, and problem solving during the first few hours of the day and again right before you go to sleep. ____20____ In between the focused work sessions, make time for a nap or for easy work that doesn’t require much creativity or focus. A. That’s because people tend to overwork. B. The time of day will also make a difference. C. As a result, quantity of work was prioritized. D. To excel in the new era, we’ll need to transform how we work. E. With every new technology comes fear and then new opportunity. F. Because of that, it’s better to work in bursts, giving the mind a rest. G. The middle of the day is better for something calling for concentration. 【答案】16. D 17. C 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了如何改变我们的工作方式来应对人工智能的影响。 【16题详解】 根据上文“It’s no secret that artificial intelligence is changing the way we work. With more and more simpler tasks being automated, humans are left with more high-level cognitive work, such as idea generation, strategic planning, and creative writing.(人工智能正在改变我们的工作方式，这已经不是什么秘密。随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，人类只能从事更高级的认知工作，比如创意产生、战略规划和创意写作)”可知，上文提到人工智能在改变我们的工作方式，随着越来越多简单的任务被自动化，推测本句应说明人类应该如何应对这种情况。故D选项“要在新时代脱颖而出，我们需要改变我们的工作方式”符合语境。故选D。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Leaders constantly measured productivity in terms of how many hours an employee spent at work or the number of abstract targets they reached.(领导者经常根据员工在工作中花费的时间或他们达到的抽象目标的数量来衡量生产力)”以及后文“This type of output doesn’t fit in the era of AI. Instead, we have to make a psychological switch, structuring each workday for quality instead of quantity. (这种类型的输出不适合人工智能时代。相反，我们必须进行心理上的转换，以质量而不是数量来安排每个工作日)”可知，上文提到了领导者通过花费的时间以及数量来衡量生产力，本句与上文构成因果关系，总结领导者优先考虑的工作数量。故C选项“因此，工作的数量被优先考虑”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Start by kicking the old method of continuous work throughout the day. Research shows that continuous work impairs creative idea generation and high quality, complex cognitive work.(从摒弃整天连续工作的旧方法开始。研究表明，持续的工作损害了创造性想法的产生和高质量、复杂的认知工作)”以及后文“It’s recommended that using work sessions that are about 90 minutes long, attacking the hardest part of the task in the first 20 minutes and moving to the slower, easier work during the remaining time.(建议使用90分钟左右的工作时间，在前20分钟内解决任务中最难的部分，然后在剩下的时间里转向较慢、较容易的工作)”可知，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出应该集中精力工作，后文给出时间安排的建议。故F选项“正因为如此，最好是集中精力工作，让大脑得到休息”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Therefore, managers should consider the principal area that a team or individual is working on rather than imposing the same work schedule across a team or an organization.

As I handed in my final assignment and saw it was graded A, a sense of pride and satisfaction washed over me. Little did I know that my accomplishments had not gone unnoticed by my families, who had been closely observing my progress. On the first day of summer vacation, my mother told me excitedly that we would pay a visit to Marco the next day to cheer for my academic progress. When I got the good news, I felt on top of the world and my spirits soared. As I lay in bed that night, a mix of anticipation and delight welled up in my heart, and I slid into a dream-filled sleep, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the coming adventure. After we arrived in Marco, my parents said that we would first visit the Marco Tower. Marco Tower, built in the late 19th century, is a historic landmark that showcases the rich architectural heritage of the city. It is also considered one of the top tourist attractions in the region. Upon hearing the inspiring news, I bounced up and down with joy. But then I felt a bit uneasy because of my fear of heights. Inside the lift, my palms grew sweaty as anxiety consumed me. I paced back and forth in the tower lift, unsure of whether I would have the courage. After the lift reached the specific floor, I gasped in horror. The floor here was made of glass, so one could appreciate the height of the tower and take a real adventure. Seeing my family both take out their phones to shoot the grand views, I felt under pressure. Then my mother smiled at me and said delightedly, “Just take it easy and you can do it.” 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。 I didn’t know whether to stay or not. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I was totally struck by the view unfolding before my eyes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I didn’t know whether to stay or not. The thought of exploring new places, and creating lasting memories with my family was undeniably inviting. However, it was obviously too challenging for me to step on to that glass. As I weighed the options in my mind, my mother’s words echoed in my ears, reminding me of the courage and confidence I used to have. With a deep breath, I made up my mind that I would seize this opportunity and embrace the adventure that awaited me in Marco. I was totally struck by the view unfolding before my eyes. My eyes were immediately drawn to the magnificent structure that stood tall in the city center-Marco Tower. Its charm was without equal, its soaring height dominating the skyline. I couldn’t help feeling a mixture of awe and admiration. I reminded myself of the encouragement from my loved ones. As we left the tower, I expressed my gratitude to my mother for her consistent support. She taught me an important lesson that day — with a little encouragement, we can achieve extraordinary things. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者考试成绩好，和家人一起外出旅行。结果在爬一座高塔时，作者犹豫了，有些恐高。但一想到和家人一起冒险，作者爬上了高塔，也看到了与众不同景色。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我不知道该不该留下来”可知，第一段可描写作者内心的纠结和矛盾，以及最终决定爬上去。 ②由第二段首句内容“我被眼前展开的景色深深震撼了。”可知，第二段可描写作者在塔上看到的景色以及感悟。 2.续写线索：内心犹豫——决心上塔——看到景色——敬畏钦佩——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①抓住：seize/grasp ②完成：achieve/accomplish ③表达：express/extend ④接受：embrace/jump at 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/thankfulness ②非凡的：extraordinary/remarkable 【点睛】[高分句型1] With a deep breath, I made up my mind that I would seize this opportunity and embrace the adventure that awaited me in Marco.
