阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
From the last of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing to a presidential gaffe (失态) that inspired a huge new project, these are only a few of the incredible historical places worth exploring in Egypt.
The Great Pyramid of Khufu
The Great Pyramid of Khufu in Cairo is the largest and most northerly of the three famous pyramids at Giza, and the only one of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing today. As the largest pyramid ever built, it is a wonder mainly because of its grand scale (规模) and the incredible precision with which the building work was conducted. Designed by Khufu’s cousin Hemon, the pyramid originally stood 482 feet high with four equal sides each measuring 755 feet.
The Luxor Temple
The Luxor Temple is an ancient Egyptian temple that lies on the east bank of the Nile. It was dedicated to the gods — Amun, his wife Mut and their son Chons. The earliest parts of the temple existing today date from 1408 B. C. Access to the temple is via the Avenue of Sphinxes, which once stretched 1.86 miles from the Luxor Temple to the Temple of Karnak in the north.
The New Gourna
The New Gourna is an uncompleted housing project in Luxor from the 1940s that was created to move away the villagers of Old Gourna, who economically sustained their community by stealing local Pharoanic tombs — much to the displeasure of the Egyptian Department of Antiquities, who wanted to move the 7,000 locals away from the area. Hassan Fathy, an architect known for his rural housing and traditional methods, was hired to design the new village on a site 50 miles away.
1. What makes the Great Pyramid of Khufu a wonder?
A. Its special location. B. Its design creativity.
C. Its size and accuracy. D. Its building difficulties.
2. What can be inferred about the Luxor Temple?
A. It has a history of about 620 years. B. It attracts visitors to go there by boat.
C. It is in the north of the Temple of Karnak. D. It was constructed to show respect for Gods.
3. What do the three places have in common?
A. Religious elements. B. Rich historical values.
C. Low construction costs. D. Classical and rural styles.
B
Contrary to most boys I’ve never had a problem saying “no”. No to let my desk neighbor borrow a pencil. No to just take “one sip” (尝一口) of a drink I didn’t want. Saying “no” to everything just felt natural, and the two letters slid off my tongue so well that eventually people stopped asking me to do things. My thought process was simple: If something wasn’t within my comfort zone, I should avoid it.
One of my favorite poems from the Bible has always been, “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future”, but I never actually laughed or did anything without fearing what would happen next. So, with a sudden urge, I decided to start saying “yes” as long as it wasn’t illegal and didn’t violate my own moral code.
This one word brought all kinds of new experiences where I found myself in a bar playing late one night with new friends and sitting in the front row at SoulCycle — a nice change from my back row, corner spot. Of course this change has had both good and bad outcomes, ranging from fun memories to lots of work and making semi - costly mistakes, leading to the unavoidable blames from my boss.
Remember when we were six and the whole world was ours? We colored on the walls and slid into the cookie jar fearless and unconcerned. We said “yes” to whatever we felt like doing, and then we became adults. Our dreams and sense of adventure faded away with our imaginary friends.
Reality is that we all have dreams, but most of us make excuses for not pursuing them. It’s more like a matter of inertia (惰性), of just ignoring the dreams, of maintaining the present situation. “No” keeps everything predictable. But you can break out of your comfort zone and get more out of life through the simple power of “yes”.
4. Why did people no longer ask the author for help?
A. He had no ability to offer help. B. They had no confidence in him.
C. They already knew his response. D. He disliked to relate with others.
5. What did the author learn from the poem in the Bible?
A. Tolerating uncertainty was a must.
B. It was necessary to stay cautious.
C. What was not banned was allowed.
D. Moral principles could be adjusted.
6. What did saying “yes” bring to the author?
A. Laughter from his boss. B. Vital mistakes at work.
C. Friends and higher status. D. More tasks and less focus.
7. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Children are more brave than adults.
B. Life gives back to those who dare to try.
C. Golden days in childhood are precious.
D. Dreams fuel one’s courage to take risks.
C
The “lipstick effect” refers to the idea that women purchase more lipsticks when the economy is in bad shape. A 2020 study published by the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics investigated the spending habits of women aging 18-40 during the 2007 recession (衰退). They found a rise in make-up purchases during the years when money was the tightest. There are a few theories that try to explain this seemingly impractical trend.
In a 2021 article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers theorized that the “lipstick effect” was a result of evolutionary mating psychology. “The lipstick effect reflects a strategic shift in women’s consumer behavior that is guided by the desire to attract the mates they most desire in an environment where they are rare,” the researchers concluded.
Though this paper is frequently cited, a 2020 study published in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics suggested that the women who contributed to the increase in cosmetic purchases included an even mixture of married and single women, employed and unemployed.
It turns out, the most popular lipstick color for women to buy is contrary to what men find the most bewitching. That said, there are various potential reasons why lipstick purchases increase when the economy is down, and they have nothing to do with mating and the male stare.
“Perhaps people simply trade down to cheaper luxury and feel-good purchases when money gets tight,” consumer psychologist at the University of the Arts, London, Dr. Paul Marsden, told Byrdie. This is a great assumption, considering a survey conducted by Ebates.com found that 51.8% of adult Americans purchase products when they are seeking to improve their mood.
However, there has yet to be any conclusive evidence explaining the “lipstick effect”. Whether it’s lipstick, single-use facials, or a new book, purchasing low-cost luxury items can be a pick-me-up in the face of tough times.
8. What can we know from the 2021 article?
A. It did not observe single women’s behavior.
B. It showed no respect for female consumers.
C. It narrowed women’s consumption motives.
D. It just paid attention to cosmetic markets.
9. What does the underlined word “bewitching” mean in Paragraph 4?
A Economical. B. Inviting. C. Shocking. D. Luxurious.
10. What does the “lipstick effect” mainly discuss?
A. Shifts of marketing strategies in recessions.
B. Consumption psychology of young adults.
C. Causes of females’ low purchasing power.
D. Preference of buying affordable products.
11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. People in bad economic times try to lift spirits.
B. Paul Marsden offered a conclusive explanation.
C. Ebates.com’s finding contradicted Paul Marsden’s view.
D. Over half of Americans suffer from economic recession.
D
History as it is studied today begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret. Western historians begin with the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians, and especially the Ancient Greeks. These might be the first civilizations to produce complex texts, art and architecture to which we still have some access in the twenty-first century.
Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form differing interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research, in order to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary. The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice which might emerge before and during research.
However, it is too limiting and it can paint a false picture of the past to both professional and recreational readers, by focusing too narrowly on certain events or individuals and completely ignoring other seemingly less important events or individuals, through a lack of either evidence or interest. History as a series of events covers the lives of billions of people from every country for thousands of years. Each individual's actions and everyday life, from their birth until their death, whether emperor or peasant, is history, and worthy of study in its own right.
Furthermore, to be objective in an historical essay, one must be separated from one's study, having no emotional reaction to the evidence and maintaining a tolerance and relativity to historical context, so that the evidence will not be destroyed by modern preconceptions (成见).
However, absolute separation, whether through attempted objectivity or distance of time, is useless to historical study. Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study.
12. How did the earliest civilizations help historians?
A. By providing first-hand materials. B. By recording analytical skills.
C. By simplifying historical research. D. By presenting valuable works.
13. What's the difference between the former and present historians?
A. Approaches to text analysis. B. Analysis of historical novels.
C. Attitudes to previous research. D. Willingness to stay subjective.
14. Why is pure objectivity criticized according to the passage?
A. It ignores events with no significance.
B. It cuts the ties between certain events.
C. It shows an unclear image of the past.
D. It acts against human beings' nature.
15. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. History: The Subject Affected by Social Environment.
B. History: The Study of the Subjective and Unimportant.
C. Subjectivity: An Element Hard to Overcome for People.
D. Subjectivity: An Element Beneficial to Old Civilizations.
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。
People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. ____16____ It seems that all the people are in pursuit of presenting their best images.
Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media also promote over-exercising. ____17____ However, pushing yourself too hard can be harmful and contributes to some eating disorders. When someone is exercising a lot, they need to eat more to fuel their body, but some people are often eating less than they should while pushing their bodies beyond the limit.
____18____ Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting. This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. ____19____
As for me, I’ve learned a lot from my own struggle with an eating disorder. During my treatment, the most striking thing my nutritionist said to me was, “____20____” She’s absolutely right. Self-love isn’t always realistic; self-acceptance is much better.
A. You need to love your body.
B. Take yourself as what you are.
C. Indeed, proper exercising is healthy.
D. A lot of the actual photos are straight-up fake.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Like many other teenagers, I suffered from growing pains. As I entered the last year of my high school, I had enough of my parents’ complaints about my academic performances. It seemed that the grades overshadowed all my positive qualities. Therefore, I lost my temper and argued with them every now and then, only to feel more upset.
One day, in a history class, I saw birds flying and singing outside the window, and my mind began to wander like a cloud. “If I were a bird, I would have nothing to worry about,” I thought to myself. It suddenly dawned on me that the world outside was waiting to be explored. Without hesitation, after class, I left a note on the desk that read, “The world is so big that I want to have a look.”
Making sure that I carried adequate change, I boarded the bus. Freeing myself from the thick books, I even found breathing was an enjoyment. The bus was bound for rural areas, where peaceful landscapes would definitely heal my growing pains. Soon, I reached the terminal station. The beautiful countryside surrounded with a winding lake and humble cottages was a perfect getaway. Walking alongside the lake gave me a sense of inner peace, allowing me to temporarily forget the upcoming examinations.
However, the relaxation was only temporary. With the night approaching, I began to fear the darkness. I could hardly see my hands in front of me and rushed to the bus stop in panic. Unfortunately, I missed the last bus. The light of a cottage caught my attention, and I saw it as a chance to seek help.

B
Contrary to most boys, I’ve never had a problem saying “no”. No to let my desk neighbor borrow a pencil. No to just take “one sip” (尝一口) of a drink I didn’t want. Saying “no” to everything just felt natural, and the two letters slid off my tongue so well that eventually people stopped asking me to do things. My thought process was simple: If something wasn’t within my comfort zone, I should avoid it.
One of my favorite poems from the Bible has always been, “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future”, but I never actually laughed or did anything without fearing what would happen next. So, with a sudden urge, I decided to start saying “yes” as long as it wasn’t illegal and didn’t violate my own moral code.
This one word brought all kinds of new experiences where I found myself in a bar playing late one night with new friends and sitting in the front row at SoulCycle — a nice change from my back row, corner spot. Of course this change has had both good and bad outcomes, ranging from fun memories to lots of work and making semi - costly mistakes, leading to the unavoidable blames from my boss.
Remember when we were six and the whole world was ours? We colored on the walls and slid into the cookie jar, fearless and unconcerned. We said “yes” to whatever we felt like doing, and then we became adults. Our dreams and sense of adventure faded away with our imaginary friends.
Reality is that we all have dreams, but most of us make excuses for not pursuing them. It’s more like a matter of inertia (惰性), of just ignoring the dreams, of maintaining the present situation. “No” keeps everything predictable. But you can break out of your comfort zone and get more out of life through the simple power of “yes”.
4. Why did people no longer ask the author for help?
A. He had no ability to offer help. B. They had no confidence in him.
C. They already knew his response. D. He disliked to relate with others.
5. What did the author learn from the poem in the Bible?
A. Tolerating uncertainty was a must.
B. It was necessary to stay cautious.
C. What was not banned was allowed.
D. Moral principles could be adjusted.
6. What did saying “yes” bring to the author?
A. Laughter from his boss. B. Vital mistakes at work.
C. Friends and higher status. D. More tasks and less focus.
7. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?
A. Children are more brave than adults.
B. Life gives back to those who dare to try.
C. Golden days in childhood are precious.
D. Dreams fuel one’s courage to take risks.
【答案】4 C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者以前经常说“不”,因为他不想走出自己的舒适圈。后来作者尝试说“是”,逐渐收获了许多新的人生体验。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Saying “no” to everything just felt natural, and the two letters slid off my tongue so well that eventually people stopped asking me to do things. (对所有事情说“不”对我来说很自然,这两个字母很顺口地就从我的舌尖滑出,以至于最终人们不再让我做事情了)”可知,作者对所有事情说“不”已经成为习惯,所以最终人们不再让他帮忙是因为他们已经知道了他的回应。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“One of my favorite poems from the Bible has always been, “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future”, but I never actually laughed or did anything without fearing what would happen next. So, with a sudden urge, I decided to start saying “yes” as long as it wasn’t illegal and didn’t violate my own moral code. (《圣经》中我最喜欢的一首诗一直是:“她以力量和尊严为衣裳,她笑着面对未来,无所畏惧”,但实际上我从来没有在不担心接下来会发生什么的情况下笑过或做过任何事情。所以,出于一种突然的冲动,我决定只要事情不违法且不违反我自己的道德准则,我就开始说 “是”。)”可知,作者从圣经中的这首诗里意识到,诗中描述的人无畏于未来,而自己却总是害怕接下来会发生什么,所以决定开始说 “是”,由此可推断作者从诗中学到了容忍不确定性是必要的。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Of course this change has had both good and bad outcomes, ranging from fun memories to lots of work and making semi - costly mistakes, leading to the unavoidable blames from my boss. (当然,这种改变有好有坏的结果,从有趣的回忆到大量的工作,还犯了一些代价不小的错误,导致不可避免地受到老板的责备。)”可知,说“是”给作者带来了各种新体验,有好有坏,包括很多工作更多任务以及因为不能集中精力而犯了一些代价不小的错误,即带来了更多任务和更少的专注度。故选D。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文及最后一段“Reality is that we all have dreams, but most of us make excuses for not pursuing them. It’s more like a matter of inertia, of just ignoring the dreams, of maintaining the present situation. “No” keeps everything predictable. But you can break out of your comfort zone and get more out of life through the simple power of “yes”. (现实是我们都有梦想,但我们大多数人都为不追求梦想找借口。这更像是一种惰性问题,只是忽视梦想,维持现状。“不”让一切都可预测。但你可以打破你的舒适区,通过简单的“是”的力量从生活中获得更多。)”可知,文章讲述了作者从习惯说“不”到尝试说“是”,打破了自己的舒适区,获得了新的体验,即生活会回报那些敢于尝试的人。故选B。
C
The “lipstick effect” refers to the idea that women purchase more lipsticks when the economy is in bad shape. A 2020 study published by the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics investigated the spending habits of women aging 18-40 during the 2007 recession (衰退). They found a rise in make-up purchases during the years when money was the tightest. There are a few theories that try to explain this seemingly impractical trend.
In a 2021 article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers theorized that the “lipstick effect” was a result of evolutionary mating psychology. “The lipstick effect reflects a strategic shift in women’s consumer behavior that is guided by the desire to attract the mates they most desire in an environment where they are rare,” the researchers concluded.
Though this paper is frequently cited, a 2020 study published in the Journal of Behavioral and Experimental Economics suggested that the women who contributed to the increase in cosmetic purchases included an even mixture of married and single women, employed and unemployed.
It turns out, the most popular lipstick color for women to buy is contrary to what men find the most bewitching. That said, there are various potential reasons why lipstick purchases increase when the economy is down, and they have nothing to do with mating and the male stare.
“Perhaps people simply trade down to cheaper luxury and feel-good purchases when money gets tight,” consumer psychologist at the University of the Arts, London, Dr. Paul Marsden, told Byrdie. This is a great assumption, considering a survey conducted by Ebates.com found that 51.8% of adult Americans purchase products when they are seeking to improve their mood.
However, there has yet to be any conclusive evidence explaining the “lipstick effect”. Whether it’s lipstick, single-use facials, or a new book, purchasing low-cost luxury items can be a pick-me-up in the face of tough times.
8. What can we know from the 2021 article?
A. It did not observe single women’s behavior.
B. It showed no respect for female consumers.
C. It narrowed women’s consumption motives.
D. It just paid attention to cosmetic markets.
9. What does the underlined word “bewitching” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Economical. B. Inviting. C. Shocking. D. Luxurious.
10. What does the “lipstick effect” mainly discuss?
A. Shifts of marketing strategies in recessions.
B. Consumption psychology of young adults.
C. Causes of females’ low purchasing power.
D. Preference of buying affordable products.
11. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. People in bad economic times try to lift spirits.
B. Paul Marsden offered a conclusive explanation.
C. Ebates.com’s finding contradicted Paul Marsden’s view.
D. Over half of Americans suffer from economic recession.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“口红效应”以及引起“口红效应”的心理动机。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In a 2021 article published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers theorized that the “lipstick effect” was a result of evolutionary mating psychology.(在2021年发表在《人格与社会心理学杂志》上的一篇文章中,研究人员推测,“口红效应”是进化的吸引配偶的心理的结果)” 可知,2021年出版的研究文章认为,“口红效应”是因为女性想要吸引配偶才出现的消费行为趋势。根据第三段中的“the women who contributed to the increase in cosmetic purchases included an even mixture of married and single women, employed and unemployed(推动化妆品消费增长的女性包括已婚和单身女性,有工作的和没有工作的女性)”可知,推动化妆品消费增长的女性包括已婚和单身女性、有工作的和无工作的女性。由此可见,这些女性的身份和婚姻状况不同,购买化妆品的动机也不仅仅是为了吸引配偶。所以2021年的文章中缩小了女性的消费动机。故选C。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“there are various potential reasons why lipstick purchases increase when the economy is down, and they have nothing to do with mating and the male gaze(经济不景气时口红销量增加的潜在原因有很多,但它们与择偶和男性目光无关)”可知,女性购买口红的动机,与择偶和吸引男性目光没有关系。因此,口红颜色对男性并不是最有吸引力的。inviting可意为“有吸引力的”,与划线词意思相近。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“They found a rise in make-up purchases during the years when money was the tightest. There are a few theories that try to explain this seemingly impractical trend.(他们发现,在经济最紧张的年份,化妆品的购买量会增加。有一些理论试图解释这种看似不切实际的趋势)”以及最后一段中的“However, there has yet to be any conclusive evidence explaining the “lipstick effect”. Whether it’s lipstick, single-use facials, or a new book, purchasing low-cost luxury items can be a pick-me-up in the face of tough times.(然而,目前还没有任何确凿的证据来解释“口红效应”。无论是口红、一次性面部护理,还是一本新书,购买低成本的奢侈品都可以让你在艰难时期振作起来)”可知,在人们缺钱的时候,包含口红在内的化妆品购买量呈上升趋势,且“口红效应”的这种趋势不局限于口红,还包括了很多其他低成本的奢侈品,即,“口红效应”指代偏好购买价格合理的产品。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的““Perhaps people simply trade down to cheaper luxury and feel-good purchases when money gets tight,” consumer psychologist at the University of the Arts, London, Dr. Paul Marsden, told Byrdie. This is a great assumption, considering a survey conducted by Ebates.com found that 51.8% of adult Americans purchase products when they are seeking to improve their mood.(伦敦艺术大学的消费心理学家保罗·马斯登博士告诉Byrdie网站说:“也许人们只是在手头紧的时候,转而购买更便宜的奢侈品和让自己感觉良好的东西。”考虑到Ebates.com进行的一项调查发现,51.8%的美国成年人在寻求改善情绪时购买产品,这是一个很好的假设)”可知,在经济不景气时期,人们试图振奋精神。故选A。
D
History as it is studied today begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret. Western historians begin with the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians, and especially the Ancient Greeks. These might be the first civilizations to produce complex texts, art and architecture to which we still have some access in the twenty-first century.
Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form differing interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research, in order to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary. The article must remain dispassionate and aim towards objectivity, removing any subjective prejudice which might emerge before and during research.
However, it is too limiting and it can paint a false picture of the past to both professional and recreational readers, by focusing too narrowly on certain events or individuals and completely ignoring other seemingly less important events or individuals, through a lack of either evidence or interest. History as a series of events covers the lives of billions of people from every country for thousands of years. Each individual's actions and everyday life, from their birth until their death, whether emperor or peasant, is history, and worthy of study in its own right.
Furthermore, to be objective in an historical essay, one must be separated from one's study, having no emotional reaction to the evidence and maintaining a tolerance and relativity to historical context, so that the evidence will not be destroyed by modern preconceptions (成见).
However, absolute separation, whether through attempted objectivity or distance of time, is useless to historical study. Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study.
12. How did the earliest civilizations help historians?
A. By providing first-hand materials. B. By recording analytical skills.
C. By simplifying historical research. D. By presenting valuable works.
13. What's the difference between the former and present historians?
A. Approaches to text analysis. B. Analysis of historical novels.
C. Attitudes to previous research. D. Willingness to stay subjective.
14. Why is pure objectivity criticized according to the passage?
A. It ignores events with no significance.
B. It cuts the ties between certain events.
C. It shows an unclear image of the past.
D. It acts against human beings' nature.
15. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. History: The Subject Affected by Social Environment.
B. History: The Study of the Subjective and Unimportant.
C Subjectivity: An Element Hard to Overcome for People.
D. Subjectivity: An Element Beneficial to Old Civilizations.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了历史研究工作并非纯粹客观的,会受到研究者自身主观心态和所处环境的影响。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“History as it is studied today begins with the earliest civilizations which left visual and literary evidence which historians can collect, analyse and interpret.(今天所研究的历史始于最早的文明,这些文明留下了历史学家可以收集、分析和解释的视觉和文学证据)”可知,最早的文明通过提供第一手资料帮助历史学家。 故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Historians study the source evidence left by the people of these periods in order to understand who, how, why and what they were. We are then taught to form differing interpretations by other historians within our own theories and research, in order to create a balanced, informed and analytical article, book or documentary.(历史学家研究这些时期人们留下的原始证据,以了解他们是谁,如何,为什么和什么。然后,我们被教导在我们自己的理论和研究中形成其他历史学家的不同解释,以创造一篇平衡的、见多识广的、分析性的文章、书籍或纪录片)”可知,过去的历史学家研究这些时期人们留下的原始证据,如今我们会在自己的理论和研究中形成不同的见解,从而创造各类文化作品。这种差异会造成过去和现在的历史学家对先前研究的态度或看法不同。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Pure objectivity can never be realized as we are all highly subjective, emotional beings, and what we write will always reflect this: it is what makes us human, and humanity is what we study.(纯粹的客观性永远不可能实现,因为我们都是高度主观的、情绪化的生物,我们写的东西总是反映出这一点:它使我们成为人类,人性是我们研究的对象)”由此可见,人类的本质决定了历史研究不可能是纯粹客观的。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。第一段是引入研究背景;第二段通过不同历史学家的见解引出客观性这一问题;第三段讲述的是过度强调客观性的危害,即导致我们忽视那些看似不重要的事件或人物;第四段从人的本质角度解释了纯粹的客观性不会实现的原因。由此可见,文章讲述了历史研究工作并非纯粹客观的,会受到研究者自身主观心态和所处环境的影响。B项“历史:主观性和不重要事物的研究”为最佳标题。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。
People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. ____16____ It seems that all the people are in pursuit of presenting their best images.
Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media also promote over-exercising. ____17____ However, pushing yourself too hard can be harmful and contributes to some eating disorders. When someone is exercising a lot, they need to eat more to fuel their body, but some people are often eating less than they should while pushing their bodies beyond the limit.
____18____ Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting. This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. ____19____
As for me, I’ve learned a lot from my own struggle with an eating disorder. During my treatment, the most striking thing my nutritionist said to me was, “____20____” She’s absolutely right. Self-love isn’t always realistic; self-acceptance is much better.
A. You need to love your body.
B. Take yourself as what you are.
C. Indeed, proper exercising is healthy.
D. A lot of the actual photos are straight-up fake.
E. There are countless methods of changing their bodies.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章论述了社交视频平台造成人们饮食失调的问题。
【16题详解】
根据上文“People only exhibit their best moments on social media. Some celebrities are airbrushed (美化) or hide the truth of their plastic surgery. Many people photoshop their faces and bodies to look exactly how they want. (人们只会在社交媒体上展示自己最美好的时刻。一些名人被美化或隐瞒他们整容的真相。许多人把自己的脸和身体PS成他们想要的样子。)”可知,前文列举了社交媒体上很多使自己变美的例子,故此空是对前文的总结,故E选项“有无数的方法可以改变他们的身体。”符合语境,故选E。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Beyond these “best images”, some social media heavily promote eating disorder culture and unhealthy attitudes about food and weight in general. Some social media also promote over-exercising. (除了这些“最佳图片”,一些社交媒体还大力宣传饮食失调文化,以及对食物和体重的不健康态度。一些社交媒体也提倡过度锻炼。)”以及后文“However, pushing yourself too hard can be harmful and contributes to some eating disorders .(然而,把自己逼迫太厉害也可能是有害的。)”可知,上文提到一些视频平台还大力宣传饮食失调文化以及对食物和体重的不健康态度。很多同样的创造者也在提倡过度锻炼,本句与后文构成转折,指出适当的锻炼是有好处的。故C选项“的确,适当的运动有益于健康。”符合语境,故选C。
【18题详解】
根据后文“Basically, people who struggle with eating disorders tend to think that they aren’t “sick enough”. If they encounter others with eating disorders, they constantly compare themselves. Thus, people, using social media, need to avoid posting videos or pictures with body checking, constant weighing, or calorie counting. This type of content simply isn’t helpful for anyone. So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. (基本上,与饮食失调作斗争的人倾向于认为他们“病得还不够”。如果他们遇到其他饮食失调的人,他们会不断地比较自己。因此,人们在使用社交媒体时,需要避免发布检查身体、持续称重或计算卡路里的视频或图片。这种类型的内容对任何人都没有帮助。所以,如果你觉得你需要减肥,和你的医生讨论一下,制定一个个性化的计划。)”可知,后文提到那些与饮食失调作斗争的人往往认为自己“病得不够重”。如果他们遇到其他饮食失调的人,他们会不断地比较。因此,创作者需要避免发布带有身体检查、强迫性的称重或卡路里计算的视频或图片。故G选项“避免发布可能引起身体形象问题的东西是很重要的。”符合语境,故选G。
【19题详解】
根据上文“So if you feel like you need to lose weight, discuss it with your doctor and make a personalized plan. (所以,如果你觉得你需要减肥,和你的医生讨论一下,制定一个个性化的计划。)”可知,上文建议和医生讨论制定减肥计划,推测本句是在说明关于减肥建议的注意事项。故F选项“不要听不了解你和你身体的陌生人的话。”符合语境,故选F。
【20题详解】
根据后文“Self-love isn’t always realistic; self-acceptance is much better. (自爱并不总是现实的;自我接纳要好得多。)”可知,后文提到了要自我接受,即建议接受自己本来的样子,做自己。故B选项“做你自己。”符合语境,故选B。

【答案】Dear sir or Madam,
The campus canteen, offering considerable tasty dishes, plays a key part in maintaining our wellness. However, there’s still room for it to enhance the service.
To begin with, dishes like fried chicken are priced at 18 yuan, which stops some students from consuming. I suggest the prices should be adjusted based on our buying power. Secondly, it would be better if the chopsticks employed for a long time were replaced by new ones. Most importantly, it’s our common wishes that the staff can show more patience with us.
Although making changes overnight isn’t a piece of cake, I do hope my advice will be considered and adopted.
Yours,
Li Hua

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Like many other teenagers, I suffered from growing pains. As I entered the last year of my high school, I had enough of my parents’ complaints about my academic performances. It seemed that the grades overshadowed all my positive qualities. Therefore, I lost my temper and argued with them every now and then, only to feel more upset.
One day, in a history class, I saw birds flying and singing outside the window, and my mind began to wander like a cloud. “If I were a bird, I would have nothing to worry about,” I thought to myself. It suddenly dawned on me that the world outside was waiting to be explored. Without hesitation, after class, I left a note on the desk that read, “The world is so big that I want to have a look.”
Making sure that I carried adequate change, I boarded the bus. Freeing myself from the thick books, I even found breathing was an enjoyment. The bus was bound for rural areas, where peaceful landscapes would definitely heal my growing pains. Soon, I reached the terminal station. The beautiful countryside surrounded with a winding lake and humble cottages was a perfect getaway. Walking alongside the lake gave me a sense of inner peace, allowing me to temporarily forget the upcoming examinations.
However, the relaxation was only temporary. With the night approaching, I began to fear the darkness. I could hardly see my hands in front of me and rushed to the bus stop in panic. Unfortunately, I missed the last bus. The light of a cottage caught my attention, and I saw it as a chance to seek help.

Upon hearing me knocking at the door, the owner let me in.

After figuring out the details, he decided to drive me home.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Upon hearing me knocking at the door, the owner let me in. He took the initiative to ask what happened. “I’m Carl, a senior high school student. I just lost my way here,” I responded. Afterwards, he unwrapped a piece of bread for me, who must have sensed that I was starving. “So why do you visit a remote place?” he continued. I struggled with two inner voices, one urging me to tell him, while the other stopping me from telling the truth. Unable to resist my desire to grumble, I admitted it was the pressure from my parents that I could barely tolerate.
After figuring out the details, he decided to drive me home. I stood still, unwilling to board the car. “I’m sure your parents give a priority to your safety rather than your marks. Follow me,” he said. After taking my seat in the car, it occurred to me that this event may ruin the relationship between my parents and me. Catching sight of my worry, he pointed out communication was the best solution. I nodded slightly and extended my thanks to him. “Maybe it’s high time that I should have a chat with my parents,” I thought to myself.
