The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 1. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 2. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 3. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章讨论了Marley对社交媒体的沉迷是否需要戒断，展现了两位朋友的观点及读者的看法。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online.(我的工作意味着我必须时刻关注网上的流行趋势)”可知，Marley花时间在抖音上的原因是她需要了解最新的网络趋势。故选C。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据Margo, 29部分“While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out.(虽然Marley对TikTok的使用对某些人来说似乎有些过度，但最终还是取决于她选择如何利用自己的时间。如果詹姆斯不能接受，他应该搬出去)”可知，只有Margo全力支持Marley。故选A。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life?(在我们的读者反馈部分，告诉我们：Marley应该离开TikTok，开始自己的生活吗？)”可知，这篇文章最有可能来自互动专栏。故选D。 B Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.” Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September. “Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins. Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.” When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another! Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old. Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.” 4. What does the author think of writing to a pen pal? A. It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B. It has been widely adopted by schools. C. It is an entirely new connecting way. D. It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition. 5. Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals? A. To teach them about other cultures. B. To pair them with international pen pals. C. To help them bridge the generation gap. D. To get them involved in community connections. 6. What do we know about Daylon McCarty from the text? A. She lives on the beach now. B. She is energetic and curious. C. She has retired and enjoys teaching. D. She has never had a pen pal before. 7. What is Jennifer Norton’s attitude towards the pen pal program? A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciated. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述PCES 的老师向学生介绍了一项旧传统，并在这个过程中为其添加了新的含义，将学生与 Hermitage Richmond Senior Living 的居民配对，学生和他们的老年朋友通过信件交流。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.”(几十年前，找笔友并给笔友写信是一件很平常的事情，这是一种令人兴奋的结交不同地区朋友的方式。随着时间的推移，我们的世界变得“更小”，这种做法变得不必要和不酷。通过社交媒体平台与世界各地的人们交流是如此容易。然而，正如彼得·艾伦1974年的歌曲提醒我们的那样，“一切旧的都是新的。”)”可知，作者认为这是一种古老而又焕发新生的做法。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September.(弗吉尼亚州梅肯尼克斯特城的PCES的教师们向学生们介绍了一项古老的传统，并在此过程中赋予了新的意义。PCES的工作人员将学生与Hermitage Richmond Senior Living的居民们结对，自九月以来，学生们和他们的老年朋友们一直通过书信交流)”及第三段““Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins.( PCES总裁Kamryn Cummins说：“社区联系和互相照顾就像我们呼吸的空气一样重要，所以它有很多作用。”)”可知，PCES 向学生介绍拥有笔友的传统是为了帮助他们参与社区联系。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.(Daylon比她的笔友大70岁，以前是一名幼儿园老师。她表达了对这个项目的兴奋之情，她说：“我曾经在幼儿园教过书。所以我喜欢看他们写字。它只是帮助他们建立他们的写作技巧。他们问了我一些问题，我问他们在做什么。”)”可知，Daylon退休了，喜欢教书。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Jennifer Norton, Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.”(Hermitage的生活方式和健康主管詹妮弗·诺顿说:“自去年9月以来，他们一直在互相写信。现在他们可以见面了。这是一次特别而宝贵的经历。”)”可知，Jennifer Norton 对笔友项目持赞赏态度。故选D。 C If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well cat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like some one did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand. Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value,” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch. The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 8. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie? A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer. C. They think the offer is not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time. 9. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4? A. The moral concerns. B. The research method. C. The experiments’ duration. D. The participants’ background. 10. Which psychological factor best explains the findings of the study? A. Fearful of “phantom costs”. B. Afraid of violating social norms. C. Committed to the standard economic model. D. Unconcerned about an offer’s “psychological value” 11. Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment? A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices. B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices. C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples. D. To show giving justifications can increase acceptance of offers. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了为什么人们会拒绝看似过于慷慨的优惠或免费赠品，探讨了经济学和心理学之间的联系。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.”(在《个性与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常便宜的服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”可知，人们会拒绝2美元外加一块免费饼干的提议是因为他们不相信这份提议的真正价值。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer.(另外九项实验使用在线问卷来呈现其他情况。其中包括给钱让他搭车回家，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每一种情况下，超过一定的门槛，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性)”可知，第4段介绍了九个进一步实验的研究方法。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value,” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch.(如果有人似乎违反了公认规范，比如自利，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“幻影成本”，想象的后果会降低Vonasch所说的提议的“心理价值”，超出当前时刻的因素可能会起作用。Vonasch说：“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们欠他们的债，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”)”可知，害怕“幻影成本”这一因素解释了这一现象。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal.(研究人员还展示了如何减轻这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由)”以及““Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.”(“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点，”沃纳什说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐，因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知，作者提到“廉价航班”实验是为了表明给出理由可以增加提议的接受度。故选D。 D The mission is simple. Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of sleeper agents, is also the strategy of certain invasive plant species. Invasive species that stay put, known as sleeper species, are not hard-wired to do so. Their natural tendency to expand is, instead, held back by some external factor. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University of Massachusetts wondered whether alterations in temperature and rainfall had the potential to activate some sleeper species. As she reports in a paper in Biological Inuvasions, the answer is a definitive yes. Dr Bradley and her team came to their conclusions by studying 1,795 plant species in north-eastern America identifiable as foreign but not yet locally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestionably demonstrating invasive behaviour in other parts of the world, and causing damage to their environment. That suggested they had the capacity to cause similar damage in America too. To determine whether the conditions coming to the region would activate any of the set 169, the researchers first identified the conditions under which these species would thrive (旺盛). A number of the plants on their list were held back by the cold winters that are less and less common in the region. They also found that some other species required more rainfall than is typical. According to the team’s findings, climate change is on track to awaken 18 sleeper species that could cause serious environmental and economic problems. Dr Bradley estimates that they will start to make themselves felt between 2040 and 2060 if something is not done soon. The most practical course of action, in her view, is to seek these sleeper species out before they are able to spread. Removing them today may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying to weed them out tomorrow. 12. What strategy do sleeper species employ? A. Rapidly expanding in new environments. B. Patiently waiting for human intervention. C. Remaining inactive until conditions are favorable. D Avoiding detection by staying in shadowy-corners. 13. What does the underlined word “hard-wired” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Slowly adapted. B. Solidly supported. C. Externally influenced. D. Naturally programmed. 14. What did researchers aim to uncover by focusing on the 169 species? A. The potential risks they could pose in the future. B. Their invasive behavior in other parts of the world. C. The reasons why they failed to survive in America. D. Possible ways to make them less common in America. 15. What’s Dr Bradley’s suggestion for dealing with sleeper species? A. Let nature take its course. B. Prevention is better than cure. C. Cutting budgets is a top priority. D. Delay action until it’s necessary. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了气候变化如何激活沉睡的入侵植物物种，预示这些物种可能对环境和经济产生严重影响，并建议提前采取措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段内容以及“Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of sleeper agents, is also the strategy of certain invasive plant species.”（到达外国的土地，适应和等待。然后，当时机成熟时，从阴影中走出来，接管一切。这一过程在间谍小说中很常见，就像潜伏特工的保护一样，也是某些入侵植物物种的策略。）可知, sleeper species的策略是在等待适宜的条件才活跃起来。因此选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Their natural tendency to expand is, instead, held back by some external factor.”（相反，它们扩张的自然趋势被一些外部因素所抑制。）可知，这些物种本能地倾向于扩展，虽然这种倾向被外部因素所抑制，hard-wired 在这里指的是“与生俱来的，固有的”。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Of these,169 were unquestionably demonstrating invasive behaviour in other parts of the world, and causing damage to their environment. That suggested they had the capacity to cause similar damage in America too.”（其中，169只无疑在世界其他地区表现出入侵行为，并对其环境造成破坏。这表明他们也有能力在美国造成类似的破坏。）可知，研究人员通过关注这169这个物种来揭示它们在未来可能带来的风险，即它们在美国也可能造成类似的环境和经济问题。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。从最后一段“The most practical course of action,in her view,is to seek these sleeper species out before they are able to spread.”（在她看来，最实际的做法是在这些潜伏物种传播之前将其消灭。）可知，Dr Bradley建议在这些物种有机会扩散之前就将其发现并清除，说明“预防胜于治疗”是应对睡眠物种的最佳策略。故选B项。 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。 I love a good staycation.

We just hung out. ___19___ The best part was that there was no stress — no arriving two hours before your flight, rushing out the door, hoping you had everything you needed. ___20___ Staycation is a relaxing way to relieve the chaos of daily life, and I cannot recommend it enough. A. It was glorious. B. I was speechless. C. But my parents were there to watch my kids. D. It took forever to decide which hotel to choose. E. There was no loading up the car and no long drive. F.

What if my kids need me? There is no plan!”（我的脑子里闪过无数个念头：我没有预订!如果我的孩子需要我怎么办?没有计划!）可知，选项承接上下文说明作者对妈妈问话的反应。故B选项“我无言以对”切题。故选B项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“What if my kids need me? There is no plan!”（如果我的孩子需要我怎么办?没有计划!）可知，作者在讲居家度假的体验，选项与上文为转折关系说明（在这种度假体验下）孩子是有人可以照看的。故C选项“但我的父母在那里可以照看我的孩子”切题。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“I booked the Dream Hotel in downtown Nashville. ”（我预定了纳什维尔市中心的梦幻酒店。）可知，选项承接上文说明述作者迅速地出发去酒店所做的行为。故G选项“我们打包了有史以来最小的过夜行李，头也不回就去了”切题。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“We didn’t wrangle kids or think about time.

On seeing Jennifer, Hill couldn’t wait to hug her, sharing the school experiences. Chatting and laughing accompanied them all the way. Hill’s innocent laughter was like Jennifer’s ray of sunshine. Approaching home, they encountered Mrs. Smith, a most kind and thoughtful housewife living in their neighborhood for many years. Mrs. Smith often invited Jennifer and Hill to her home and shared her homemade desserts and cookies. The two families developed a close relationship and Hill liked to stay with Mrs. Smith, who always brightened her days with willingness and timely help. After exchanging greetings, they went back to their own homes. On arriving home, Jennifer set out to prepare dinner. As the sun began to set, the house was full of a pleasant smell of cooking food.

Upon entering Jennifer’s home, Mrs. Smith found her on the floor, seizing. “Call 911, Hill, and stay on the line,” she instructed, her voice steady as she began first aid. Hill, though scared, managed to relay the emergency to the operator, her mother’s lifeline. Jennifer finally came to herself in the hospital.

The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter, 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 1. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 2. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 3. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. B Several decades ago, finding and writing to a pen pal was a regular thing and it was an exciting way to make friends in different parts of the country. Over time, our world became “smaller,” and the practice became unnecessary and uncool. It’s so easy to communicate with people across the globe through social media platforms. However, as Peter Allen’s 1974 song reminds us, “everything old is new again.” Teachers at Pearson’s Comer Elementary School (PCES) in Mechanicsville, Virginia, introduced their students to the old tradition and added a new meaning on it in the process. PCES staff paired students with residents at Hermitage Richmond Senior Living, and the students and their senior friends have exchanged letters since September. “Community connections and looking out for one another is as important as the air that we breathe and so it does so much,” said the President of PCES, Kamryn Cummins. Hermitage resident Daylon McCarty and eight-year-old Yosha Sreeraj met for the first time during the school’s unique field trip. Daylon, who is seven decades older than her pen pal, is a former kindergarten teacher. She expressed her excitement for the project, saying, “I used to teach kindergarten. So I love to see them writing. It just helps them build their writing skills. And they asked me questions, and I asked them what they’ve been doing.” When they met face-to-face, Yosha — clearly, an energetic and curious little lady — learned, among other fun facts, that Daylon once lived on the beach. There is so much that the young and old can teach one another! Wearing their PCES Panther T- shirts, students sang “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” before reading to the seniors, playing games, and visiting. This was the second year the school’s second graders developed friendships with Hermitage residents. And it’s been great for both young and old. Jennifer Norton Hermitage’s Director of Lifestyle and Wellness, said, “They have been writing each other back and forth since September. And so now they get to meet each other in person. And it’s a special and precious experience.” 4. What does the author think of writing to a pen pal? A. It is an old and gradually reborn practice. B. It has been widely adopted by schools. C. It is an entirely new connecting way. D. It is an outdated and unnecessary tradition. 5. Why did PCES introduce students to the tradition of having pen pals? A. To teach them about other cultures. B. To pair them with international pen pals. C. To help them bridge the generation gap. D. To get them involved in community connections. 6. What do we know about Daylon McCarty from the text? A. She lives on the beach now. B. She is energetic and curious. C. She has retired and enjoys teaching. D. She has never had a pen pal before. 7. What is Jennifer Norton’s attitude towards the pen pal program? A. Indifferent. B. Opposed. C. Doubtful. D. Appreciated. C If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well cat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like some one did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at the University of Canterbury in NewZealand. Nine further experiments used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. Vonasch says the study illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions (交易) need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to violate accepted norms, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”, imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value,” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Vonasch. The researchers also showed how to mitigate (减轻) the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 8. Why might people reject an offer of $2 along with a free cookie? A. They dislike a money-related offer. B. They distrust the true value of the offer. C. They think the offer is not good enough. D. They suspect the offer only lasts a short time. 9. What aspect of the nine further experiments is introduced in Paragraph 4? A. The moral concerns. B. The research method. C. The experiments’ duration. D. The participants’ background. 10. Which psychological factor best explains the findings of the study? A. Fearful of “phantom costs”. B. Afraid of violating social norms. C. Committed to the standard economic model. D. Unconcerned about an offer’s “psychological value” 11 Why does the author mention the “cheap flights” experiment? A. To stress the unpredictability of human choices. B. To illustrate how hidden motives affect people’s choices. C. To emphasize the importance of providing clear examples. D. To show giving justifications can increase acceptance of offers. D The mission is simple. Arrive on foreign soil, fit in and wait. Then, when the time is right, emerge from the shadows and take over. This procedure, familiar from spy fiction as the preserve of sleeper agents, is also the strategy of certain invasive plant species. Invasive species that stay put, known as sleeper species, are not hard-wired to do so. Their natural tendency to expand is, instead, held back by some external factor. With the climate rapidly changing, Bethany Bradley at the University of Massachusetts wondered whether alterations in temperature and rainfall had the potential to activate some sleeper species. As she reports in a paper in Biological Inuvasions, the answer is a definitive yes. Dr Bradley and her team came to their conclusions by studying 1,795 plant species in north-eastern America identifiable as foreign but not yet locally listed as invasive. Of these, 169 were unquestionably demonstrating invasive behaviour in other parts of the world, and causing damage to their environment. That suggested they had the capacity to cause similar damage in America too. To determine whether the conditions coming to the region would activate any of the set 169, the researchers first identified the conditions under which these species would thrive (旺盛). A number of the plants on their list were held back by the cold winters that are less and less common in the region. They also found that some other species required more rainfall than is typical. According to the team’s findings, climate change is on track to awaken 18 sleeper species that could cause serious environmental and economic problems. Dr Bradley estimates that they will start to make themselves felt between 2040 and 2060 if something is not done soon. The most practical course of action, in her view, is to seek these sleeper species out before they are able to spread. Removing them today may be expensive, but it will be far cheaper than trying to weed them out tomorrow. 12. What strategy do sleeper species employ? A. Rapidly expanding in new environments. B. Patiently waiting for human intervention. C. Remaining inactive until conditions are favorable. D. Avoiding detection by staying in shadowy-corners. 13. What does the underlined word “hard-wired” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Slowly adapted. B. Solidly supported. C. Externally influenced. D. Naturally programmed. 14. What did researchers aim to uncover by focusing on the 169 species? A. The potential risks they could pose in the future. B. Their invasive behavior in other parts of the world. C The reasons why they failed to survive in America. D. Possible ways to make them less common in America. 15. What’s Dr Bradley’s suggestion for dealing with sleeper species? A Let nature take its course. B. Prevention is better than cure. C. Cutting budgets is a top priority. D. Delay action until it’s necessary. 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。 I love a good staycation.
