B
“Are you all right?” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. program, went on to say, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.” It set me thinking a lot.
As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.
I noticed that most of the people around me seemed to be working all the time. I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t work. I crashed from burnout. The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation. During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect — and it wasn’t sustainable.
From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.
I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work. I continued quietly along this path for years, until that conversation in the hallway. So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.
14. What can we learn about the student?
A. He spent much time in lab work. B. He had finished the Ph.D. program.
C. He was concerned about the author. D. He was putting in extra hours at night.
15. How does the author feel about his work at first?
A. Anxious. B. Ambitious. C. Dissatisfied. D. Enthusiastic.
16. Which can replace the underlined phrase “took a toll on” in Para. 3?
A. Added fuel to. B. Had a negative impact on.
C. Cast new light on. D. Depended too much on.
17. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. A healthy work-life balance counts.
B. A fall into the pit a gain in your wit.
C. Fitting in doesn’t mean working overtime.
D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
【答案】14. C 15. A 16. B 17. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己博士生的经历,讨论了在研究生院时,如何避免过度工作和压力,保持身心健康,提高个人工作效率。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Are you all right?” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. program, went on to say, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.”(“你没事吧?”那个学生在走廊里从我身边经过时问道。在写论文之前,我正处于最后一项工作的最后阶段。那个比我晚4年读博士的学生接着说:“我看到你们组的人工作很努力,加班加点,甚至在晚上也加班。”)”可知,这个学生关注作者的情况,询问作者身体状况,所以是很关心作者。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.(作为一名一年级的博士生,我很幸运有善良、善解人意的导师。但我感到了成为一个完美学生的巨大压力。我一直在找无数个理由,为什么我进入研究生院时,与同龄人相比处于劣势。作为一名来自哥伦比亚的学生,我在教授和同事们从未听说过的机构接受教育,我说话的口音让人听不懂,而且我比同龄人中的大多数人都年长)”可知,作者在刚开始的时候感到压力很大,担心自己的口音和年龄,所以起初作者是感觉焦虑的。故选A项。
【16题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“I crashed from burnout.(我精疲力竭了)”以及后文“During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect—and it wasn’t sustainable.(在办公室里度过的一个毫无头脑的星期天里,我意识到自己掉进了一个陷阱,以为同事的工作习惯就是归属感和值得尊重的标准——而这是不可持续的)”可知,作者精疲力竭,在办公室工作时,毫无头绪,所以疲劳影响了他的工作效率,推知took a toll on是“对……有负面影响”之意,和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【17题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.(从那时起,我不再计算我投入的工作时间,每天留出时间锻炼和做我喜欢的活动。最终,我意识到没有人记录我在实验室里花了多少时间,这不是我需要担心的事情)”以及最后一段“So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.(所以,几周后,当我再次遇到她时,我告诉她,尽管我在博士学位的最后一年感到压力很大,但我还是把心理和身体健康放在第一位,没有加班。我也开始和其他学生谈论高质量的睡眠、体育锻炼、健康的饮食和合理的工作时间是我日常生活的一部分)”可知,作者主要想要告诉读者健康的工作与生活平衡很重要。故选A项。
C
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”. Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
18. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
19. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
20. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
【答案】18. B 19. D 20. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。1907年3月7日,英国统计学家弗朗西斯·高尔顿发表的一篇论文阐述了后来被称为“群体智慧”的效应。他进行的估计实验表明,在某些情况下,大量独立估计的平均值可能相当准确。但是,由华金·纳瓦加斯领导的一项新研究发现,当人群被进一步分成更小的群体并允许进行讨论时,这些群体的平均值比同样数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。文章对此进行了详细介绍。
【18题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段前三句“This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate.(这种效应利用了这样一个事实:当人们犯错误时,这些错误并不总是相同的。有些人倾向于高估,有些人倾向于低估。当足够多的这些误差被平均在一起时,它们就会相互抵消,从而得到更准确的估计。)”可知,文章第二段主要讲的是这种效应的潜在逻辑。故选B。
【19题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.(这项研究的关键发现是,当人群被进一步分成更小的群体并允许进行讨论时,这些群体的平均值比同样数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。)”可知,纳瓦加斯的研究发现,即使估计值不是完全独立的,平均准确率也会提高。故选D。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.(虽然纳瓦加斯领导的研究有局限性,还有许多问题,但对小组讨论和决策的潜在影响是巨大的。)”可知,作者对纳瓦加斯的研究持认可态度。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,共10分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Before you head out to a fun event where there will be many people, you should be aware of the dangers of a crowd crush (拥挤的人群), whose possibility adds up during the festivals or on some celebrating occasions.
Though the risk of crowd crush is rare, it can be deadly when it happens. Crowd crush occurs when many people are packed together and begin to fall over one another. In the past, such instances have caused horrible injury and even death. ____21____
Before attending a crowded event, look up a map of the venue. ____22____ Once you arrive, choosing the right spot can be crucial. Avoid the middle or front; instead, pick the back or edges of a crowd. It s also important to trust your feelings. Stay aware to see if you feel packed in at any point. The more crowded the event becomes, the sooner you may need to move to a safe place.
____23____ The most important thing you can do is stay on your feet. To do this, spread your feet apart and bend your knees a little. Also make sure to move with the flow of the crowd. Trying to move against a crowd of people will only end in disaster.
Helping others is another great way to keep everyone safe. Once one person falls down, more people tend to fall over them. ____24____
A common cause of death in a crowd crush isn’t being crushed but rather losing air. It’s best to hold out your arms in front of your chest. ____25____ It also protects your chest and lungs from being crushed on the ground should you fall.
There is usually fun where the crowds are, so enjoy yourself. But meanwhile, it is also important to remember to stay alert and take care of your family members when you sense the smell of danger.
A. If you do end up in a crush, here’s how you can stay safe.
B. This allows space between you and the person in front of you.
C. So if your neighbor in the crowd falls to the ground, help them up.
D. Seeking for a safer place takes some time and is sometimes challenging.
E. To avoid such an outcome, it’s best to escape the crush before it happens.
F. The shortage of air means less oxygen, which will lead to serious consequences.
G. This will give you an idea of the surroundings—pay special attention to any exits.

【25题详解】
根据上文“It’s best to hold out your arms in front of your chest.(最好把胳膊放在胸前。)”可知,这样做可以增加你和前面的人的空间,不会因为挨的太近失去空气,窒息而死。故B选项“这让你和你面前的人之间留出了空间。”表明这样做的益处,符合题意。故选B。

【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:最终,在20世纪,爱尔兰南部脱离了英国,由此形成了我们今天所使用的全称:大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面的句子,在定语从句中作主语,需用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:大多数人只使用其简称:“联合王国”或“英国”。修饰名词name,需用形容词shortened,作定语。故填shortened。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:了解这个国家的历史会让你的旅行更加愉快。空处为动名词短语作主语,位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Studying。
【40题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:首都伦敦是一个绝佳的起点,因为它是一座古老的港口城市,其历史可以追溯到罗马时代。此处表示原因,即“因为伦敦是一座历史悠久的古老港口城市,所以它是开始(了解英国历史)的好地方”,连词as/because可表示原因,引导原因状语从句。故填as/because。

阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Digital Inclusion for Older Adults
As a researcher in the behavior of older adults, I regularly hear complaints from them like, “I’m just not part of this world anymore. In certain parts of society, I just can’t join... Some things just are not possible if you are not in the flow of the Internet.” or “We feel like we’re standing outside a building that we have no access to.”
Today, mastering digital technology has become a key component of what it means to fully participate in society. But one area in particular threatens to prevent some older adults from making connections: the digital divide.
As a recent study shows, one-third of adults aged 65 and older say they’ve never used the Internet, and half don’t have Internet access at home. Of those who do use the Internet, nearly half say they need someone else’s help to set up or use a new digital device.
In contrast to concerns about technology use increasing isolation (孤立;隔离) among younger populations, the communication and connection possible online can be especially valuable for older adults who are homebound, live far away from family, or have lost the loved ones. Older adults can use online tools to connect with friends and family via messaging platforms, video chat, and social media even if they can no longer physically visit them. And they can engage with the outside world through news, blogs, streaming platforms, and email, even if they are no longer able to move about as easily as they once could.
For older adults in particular, the risks associated with social isolation are profound. Loneliness among older adults has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death. Technology can serve as an important tool to help reduce these risks, but only if we provide older adults with the skills they need, to make inclusion in the digital world accessible to them.
The importance of digital inclusion is not going to disappear with the generational changes of the coming decades. Technology is continuously developing, and with each new digital innovation come challenges for even younger adults to adapt.
44. What prevents some older adults from connecting with society?
_______________________________________________________________________________
45. What do the statistics (数据) in Paragraph 3 show?
_______________________________________________________________________________
46. According to the passage, please complete the following sentence.
Enabling older adults to access the digital world can help them connect with family and friends and
_______________________________________________________________________________
47. Please briefly present your opinion on digital inclusion. (about 40 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】44. The digital divide.
45. The problem of the digital divide among older adults is serious/common.
46. reduce the risks associated with social isolation such as depression, functional decline, and death.
47. I think digital inclusion is very necessary. This not only symbolizes our care for the elderly, but also represents the progress of our social civilization. We, as students, should do something to actively promote digital inclusion.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了数字包容对老年人的重要性及当前老年人面临的数字鸿沟问题。
【44题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“But one area in particular threatens to prevent some older adults from making connections: the digital divide.(但有一个领域尤其有可能阻止一些老年人建立联系:数字鸿沟)”可知,数字鸿沟阻止了一些老年人和社会建立联系。故答案为The digital divide.
【45题详解】
考查推理判断。根据第三段“As a recent study shows, one-third of adults aged 65 and older say they’ve never used the Internet, and half don’t have Internet access at home. Of those who do use the Internet, nearly half say they need someone else’s help to set up or use a new digital device.(最近的一项研究显示,65岁及以上的成年人中,有三分之一的人说他们从未使用过互联网,有一半的人在家里无法上网。在使用互联网的人中,近一半的人说他们需要别人的帮助来安装或使用新的数字设备)”可知,第三段的数据表明在老人之中上网有困难的比例非常大,这就说明老人之中的数字鸿沟问题非常严重或普遍。故答案为The problem of the digital divide among older adults is serious/common.
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第五段“For older adults in particular, the risks associated with social isolation are profound. Loneliness among older adults has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death. Technology can serve as an important tool to help reduce these risks, but only if we provide older adults with the skills they need, to make inclusion in the digital world accessible to them.(特别是对于老年人来说,与社会孤立相关的风险是深远的。老年人的孤独感与抑郁、身体功能衰退以及死亡都有关系。技术可以成为帮助降低这些风险的重要工具,但前提是我们要为老年人提供他们所需的技能,让他们能够融入数字世界)” 可知,让老年人进入数字世界可以帮助他们减少与社会孤立相关的风险,如抑郁、功能衰退和死亡。故答案为reduce the risks associated with social isolation such as depression, functional decline, and death.
【47题详解】
开放题。本题为开放性试题,答案不唯一,合理即可。我认为数字包容非常必要。这不仅象征着我们对老年人的关怀,也代表着我们社会文明的进步。作为学生,我们应该积极采取行动促进数字包容。故答案为:I think digital inclusion is very necessary. This not only symbolizes our care for the elderly, but also represents the progress of our social civilization. We, as students, should do something to actively promote digital inclusion.

What is PayQuick?
PayQuick is a fast payment service for shopping in the biggest supermarket in UK — Tesco. It allows you to add your credit or debit card details to the app so you can use your smartphone to pay for your shopping with just one scan, which means you can go wallet-free in all UK Tesco stores.
What are the benefits?
●Collect your Tesco points automatically
●Pay for your weekly shopping up to £250
●Use PayQuick offline, even with no signal
●Track your spending in Tesco
However, only one qualifying deal per week will collect the extra Tesco points. Additional payments in the same week won’t receive extra points. Tesco points will be added to your future Tesco points statement.
How to get your PayQuick?
Available to new customers who sign up by 3rd March 2024, the PayQuick app can be downloaded from the App Store or our official website. Once you have the app on your phone, register your personal details on the app to get an account. Note that for each customer, only one account is allowed and a family shared account will not be acknowledged. Finally, with all the preparation work done, you’ll be ready to shop using just your phone.
Plus, there’s no need to worry about your bank details being stored on your phone — they’re all securely protected in our data centers. So not only is it quicker and easier, it’s safer than going shopping with your wallet as well.

“Are you all right?” the student asked as she passed me in the hallway. I was in the final stretch of last work before writing my essay. The student, who was 4 years behind me in the same Ph.D. program, went on to say, “I see people from your group working so much, putting in extra hours, even at night.” It set me thinking a lot.
As a first-year Ph.D. student, I was lucky to have kind and understanding advisers. But I felt overwhelming pressure to become a perfect student. I kept finding a million reasons why I was coming into graduate school at a disadvantage compared with my peers. As a student from Colombia, I had been educated at institutions my professors and colleagues had never heard of, I spoke with an accent that was hard to understand, and I was older than most of the people in my cohort.
I noticed that most of the people around me seemed to be working all the time. I began to spend many weekday nights and weekends in the lab. But my strategy didn’t work. I crashed from burnout. The tiredness took a toll on my productivity and motivation. During one of many mindless Sundays in the office, I realized I’d fallen into the trap of assuming my colleagues’ work habits were the standard for belonging and being worthy of respect — and it wasn’t sustainable.
From then on, I stopped counting the number of work hours I was putting in, leaving space every day for exercising and doing activities that I enjoyed. Eventually, I realized nobody was keeping track of the amount of time I spent in the lab anyway and it wasn’t something I needed to worry about.
I noticed that having more time for myself made me more rested and motivated when I went back to work. I continued quietly along this path for years, until that conversation in the hallway. So, when I ran into her again, weeks later, I told her that even though I was feeling a lot of pressure in the final year of my Ph.D., I was putting my mental and physical health first and wasn’t working overtime. I also began to talk with other students about how quality sleep, physical activity, healthy eating, and reasonable work hours were a daily part of my routine.
14. What can we learn about the student?
A. He spent much time in lab work. B. He had finished the Ph.D. program.
C. He was concerned about the author. D. He was putting in extra hours at night.
15. How does the author feel about his work at first?
A. Anxious. B. Ambitious. C. Dissatisfied. D. Enthusiastic.
16. Which can replace the underlined phrase “took a toll on” in Para. 3?
A. Added fuel to. B. Had a negative impact on.
C. Cast new light on. D. Depended too much on.
17. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. A healthy work-life balance counts.
B. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
C. Fitting in doesn’t mean working overtime.
D. Nothing is difficult to the man who will try.
C
On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
In a follow-up study with 100 university students, the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion. Did they tend to go with those most confident about their estimates? Did they follow those least willing to change their minds? This happened some of the time, but it wasn’t the dominant response. Most frequently, the groups reported that they “shared arguments and reasoned together”. Somehow, these arguments and reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error. Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain, the potential implications for group discussion and decision-making are enormous.
18. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The methods of estimation. B. The underlying logic of the effect.
C. The causes of people’s errors. D. The design of Galton’s experiment.
19. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
20. What is the author’s attitude toward Navajas’ studies?
A. Unclear. B. Dismissive. C. Doubtful. D. Approving.
