Our tickets to tour the tower’s two levels can be purchased online up to two months in advance, but they always sell out quickly. However, since many tour operators get advance access to tickets, you can often book even earlier, or possibly score a last-minute trip to the tower. Everyone in the group can take the first part of the climb at their own pace, after which they will be given 15 minutes to catch their breath and explore the first floor of the Eiffel Tower at their 1leisure before gathering for a narrated (有讲解的) tour up. Tourists then proceed to the second floor for the narrated portion of the tour on the second floor. The tour concludes there, where tourists are free to ask questions or explore before leaving on their own. The guide for the second-floor climb is energetic and excited to share his knowledge of the Eiffel Tower, and he has an album of historic photos to back up his commentary. The guide gives visitors enough free time to explore independently from the group. Your tour ticket allows you to stay at the tower as long as you please, so plan to stick around after the tour ends to explore the shops, restaurants, and viewpoints on the first and second floors. There is an upgraded ticket option that allows you to take an elevator to the top level; this ticket will cost extra. 1. Which way can best ensure an Eiffel Tower visit? A. Buy tickets 2 months earlier. B. Ask help from tour operators. C. Book at the last minute. D. Wait for on-site tickets. 2. What can we know about the narrated tour on the Eiffel Tower? A. It costs visitors extra money. B. It begins from the 2nd floor. C. It relies on a historic album. D. It lasts 15 minutes at least. 3. What can visitors do on the second floor? A. Take a free ride to the top floor. B. Catch a bird’s-eye view of Paris. C. Enjoy a pleasant tower meal. D. Have a one-night hotel stay. B “You learn a lot by almost dying,” David always says. In fact, he learns enough! In 2010, David, a sophomore from the medical school of Pennsylvania got very sick and the diagnosis was Castleman — a rare condition with approximately 7,000 new cases annually in the US. In hospital, David noticed curious red spots on his skin. He asked doctors what the blood spots meant. “They went out of their way to say they didn’t matter,” said David, but he would go on to prove he was on to something. Castleman struck David four more times over the next three years. David stayed alive only through intense chemotherapy. Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn’s Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch. In 2013, another attack marked his closest brush with death yet. This time, David saved his own life. After examining his medical charts, he targeted an idea that researchers hadn’t yet explored: A protein called VECF which controls blood vessel growth was spiking at 10 times its normal level. David hypothesized that the red spots with every recurrence were a direct result of that protein spike. David asked his doctor to prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants. He picked it up at a pharmacy. “A drug that could potentially save my life was hiding in plain sight,” he said. So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back. “So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!” 4. What can we know about the CDCN? A. It’s a domestic organization in the USA. B. It recruited members beyond the medical field. C. It’s founded when David was a medical student. D. It prioritized clinical trials on newly-applied drugs. 5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. David’s recovered from Castleman completely. B. David’s doing further research on Sirolimus. C. Sufficient investments are put in Castleman research. D. High likelihood of bearing fruit is in Castleman research. 6. According to the text, which one is right? A. Sirolimus has certain effectiveness for Castleman. B. There’re roughly 7,000 Castleman cases in the US. C. David suffered Castleman recurrence four times totally. D. Red spots on David’s skin caused an increase in VECF levels. 7. What can we learn from David’s experience? A. No pains, no gains. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. God helps those who help themselves. C Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” 8. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A. To express his sorrow for the loss. B. To stress the high risk of space flights. C. To show the result of wrong operation. D. To give an example of overconfidence. 9. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A. It urged students to gain recognition. B. It encouraged students to take exams. C. It helped students to adjust learning methods. D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 10. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject. 11. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A. Why questioning our belief is hard. B. Why intellectual humility is helpful. C. How to become a confident person. D How to practice intellectual humility. D Scientists have studied gossip defined as talking about someone not present for decades. That’s not surprising given the activity’s near universality in any social group, big or small. People in modern societies spend about an hour a day immersed in chin-wagging, one study reports. But investigators are now approaching this fixture of social life from a new perspective. In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target. So what, if anything, can be good about gossip? Whenever someone confides something to you about someone you both know — whether the information is positive, negative or neutral — it brings the two of you closer, creating a social bond. According to one study, it even increases your liking for the spreader of the information. Plus, it enforces group norms. For example, complaints about a co-worker who puts smelly banana peels in the paper trash are likely to get back to them and let them know that the conduct is not acceptable. Another experiment was led by social psychologist Terence Cruz, then at Free University Amsterdam. Cruz and his team recruited 300 people in a community in the Netherlands and asked them to list 15 people with whom they had frequent contact. Four times each day for 10 days, the subjects were asked to report on any information that someone in their social network told them, or that they told someone, about a third person. The experiment showed that the gossiper passed on true information when they had no conflict of interest with the target. When they had a rivalry or other conflict with the target, however, they were likelier to pass on things that were self-serving or absolutely false. Nevertheless, one of the most surprising results of gossip, Cruz says, is that it helps people better understand the behavior of others. For example, a co-worker shows up late every day, but if they learn through gossip that the offending colleague is in the middle of a divorce or the like, they are less likely to complain. Perhaps more importantly, they sympathize with the co-worker and feel motivated to help the miserable guy. 12. What is the new perspective investigators now adopt? A. Analyze the new feature of social life. B. Focus on the benefits of chin-wagging. C. Investigate the potential risks of gossip. D. Look at either the spreader or the target. 13. What impact might gossip have according to paragraph 3? A. It fuels the popularity of the target. B. It betters the workplace environment. C It offends the privacy of co-workers. D. It enhances the overall social bond. 14. What does Cruz’s research find? A. An average person contacts 15 people frequently. B. Gossips tend to spread incorrect information. C. One can never keep their privacy from colleagues. D. Workplace relationships can benefit from gossip. 15 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bad Name, Not Necessarily Bad Thing B. Double-Edged Sword, Aid Plus Harm C. The Bitter Truth about Chin-Wagging D. The Unsaid Intention behind Gossip 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。 Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. There are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies. ___16___ According to Dr. Brownlowe, there are several psychological benefits to watching horror films. A 2010 study found that people who like horror movies tend to enjoy feeling really intense emotions like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to go into fight-or-flight mode. ___17___ For instance, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says. ___18___ But for some people with anxiety, they may find horror movies comforting. The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually neuro-chemically very pleasurable. That’s because the chemical release related to the ‘rest-and-digest’ brain response causes an increased sense of well-being. Dating coaches also recommend watching a horror movie to get closer to your partner. Fear arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Some think that scary movies accesses a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. ___19___ When you’re vulnerable (易受……伤害，影响) with another person, it creates a sense of connection. ___20___ If you feel things very deeply, watching scary movies may be a little too much for you. If not, they can be really fun and sometimes even comforting. A. Horror movies are meant to scare you. B. Some even find them oddly comforting. C. Everyone experiences things differently. D. When this happens, your entire body can react. E. At the same time, fear is not exactly a positive emotion. F. It draws us closer when we have the same frightened experience. G. Lastly, such movies help you satisfy the curiosity about your dark side. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One summer day Sarah decided to go for a bike ride in the countryside.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 福州三中2024-2025学年高三第十四次质量检测 英语试卷 试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。每段对话仅读一遍。 1．Where does the conversation probably take place?

However, since many tour operators get advance access to tickets, you can often book even earlier, or possibly score a last-minute trip to the tower.(我们的双层游览票最多可以提前两个月在线购买，但总是很快售罄。不过，由于许多旅行社可以提前获得门票，您通常可以更早地预订，或者有可能在最后一刻抢到游塔的机会)”可知，游客可以向旅行社寻求帮助，能保证参观埃菲尔铁塔。故选B项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Everyone in the group can take the first part of the climb at their own pace, after which they will be given 15 minutes to catch their breath and explore the first floor of the Eiffel Tower at their 1leisure before gathering for a narrated (有讲解的) tour up.(小组中的每个人都可以按照自己的节奏完成第一段攀登，之后将有15分钟的时间休息，并悠闲地探索埃菲尔铁塔的第一层。随后，大家将集合参加有讲解的向上游览)”可推知，菲尔铁塔的讲解之旅从2楼开始。故选B项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Your tour ticket allows you to stay at the tower as long as you please, so plan to stick around after the tour ends to explore the shops, restaurants, and viewpoints on the first and second floors.(你的旅游票允许你在塔上呆多久就呆多久，所以计划在游览结束后留下来，探索一层和二层的商店、餐馆和观景点)”可推知，游客在二楼可以享受一顿愉快的塔餐。故选C项。 B “You learn a lot by almost dying,” David always says. In fact, he learns enough! In 2010, David, a sophomore from the medical school of Pennsylvania got very sick and the diagnosis was Castleman — a rare condition with approximately 7,000 new cases annually in the US. In hospital, David noticed curious red spots on his skin. He asked doctors what the blood spots meant. “They went out of their way to say they didn’t matter,” said David, but he would go on to prove he was on to something. Castleman struck David four more times over the next three years. David stayed alive only through intense chemotherapy. Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn’s Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch. In 2013, another attack marked his closest brush with death yet. This time, David saved his own life. After examining his medical charts, he targeted an idea that researchers hadn’t yet explored: A protein called VECF which controls blood vessel growth was spiking at 10 times its normal level. David hypothesized that the red spots with every recurrence were a direct result of that protein spike. David asked his doctor to prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants. He picked it up at a pharmacy. “A drug that could potentially save my life was hiding in plain sight,” he said. So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back. “So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!” 4. What can we know about the CDCN? A. It’s a domestic organization in the USA. B. It recruited members beyond the medical field. C. It’s founded when David was a medical student. D. It prioritized clinical trials on newly-applied drugs. 5. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. David’s recovered from Castleman completely. B. David’s doing further research on Sirolimus. C. Sufficient investments are put in Castleman research. D. High likelihood of bearing fruit is in Castleman research. 6. According to the text, which one is right? A. Sirolimus has certain effectiveness for Castleman. B. There’re roughly 7,000 Castleman cases in the US. C. David suffered Castleman recurrence four times totally. D. Red spots on David’s skin caused an increase in VECF levels. 7. What can we learn from David’s experience? A. No pains, no gains. B. It’s never too late to learn. C. Where there is a will, there is a way. D. God helps those who help themselves. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了David患病后，主动探究红斑病因，自行研究病历提出新观点并求药治疗，还创办CDCN组织抗击疾病。他全程积极自救，努力为攻克疾病做贡献。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn’s Wharton School, where he founded the CDCN — a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch.(尽管身患疾病，他还是顺利毕业了，并开始在宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院攻读工商管理硕士学位。在那里，他发起了一项全球性的倡议——卡斯尔曼病研究网络（CDCN），致力于对抗卡斯尔曼病。他的许多MBA同学都加入了这项事业。大卫希望具备首席执行官的思维方式能让他扩大自己的治疗方案。卡斯尔曼病研究网络优先开展对美国药监局已批准安全的药物进行重新利用的临床试验，而非从头开始研发新药)”可知，很多他学MBA的同学加入了这个组织，说明CDCN招募了医学领域之外的成员，故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!”(“像卡斯尔曼病这样的罕见疾病上投入的时间和金钱太少了，”大卫说，“改变这种状况的机会很大，有很多唾手可得的成果！”)”可推知，大卫认为在卡斯尔曼病研究方面有很大的机会取得成果，故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“David asked his doctor to prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney transplants.(大卫要求医生给他开西罗莫司，这是一种经批准的药物，当免疫系统对肾脏移植产生激活作用时，可以帮助对抗免疫系统)”以及最后一段中“So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life back.(到目前为止，大卫的卡斯尔曼病已经缓解了六年多，身体几近完全恢复。作为宾夕法尼亚大学的一名助理教授，他正在对一种让他重获新生的药物进行临床试验)”可知，A选项“西罗莫司对卡斯尔曼病有一定疗效”正确。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman,” says David, “There’s tremendous opportunity to change that, there’s a lot of low-hanging fruit!”(“像卡斯尔曼病这样的罕见疾病上投入的时间和金钱太少了，”大卫说，“改变这种状况的机会很大，有很多唾手可得的成果！”)”以及大卫患病后，主动探究红斑病因，自行研究病历提出新观点并求药治疗，还创办CDCN组织抗击疾病。他全程积极自救，努力为攻克疾病做贡献，完美诠释“自助者天助”，故选D。 C Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” 8. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A. To express his sorrow for the loss. B. To stress the high risk of space flights. C. To show the result of wrong operation. D. To give an example of overconfidence. 9. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A. It urged students to gain recognition. B. It encouraged students to take exams. C. It helped students to adjust learning methods. D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 10. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject. 11. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A. Why questioning our belief is hard. B. Why intellectual humility is helpful. C. How to become a confident person. D. How to practice intellectual humility. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的研究，通过具体研究案例，来说明智力谦逊如何帮助人们更好地学习和调整学习策略。 8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二至第四句“He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. (他发现过度自信非常普遍，尤其是在人们认为某件事情正确时，这种过度自信可能会导致灾难性的决策。1986年，NASA认为每次太空飞行发生损失的风险大约是1/100,000。这种过度自信的信念可能引发了“挑战者号”的爆炸)”可知，作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果，之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知，提及“挑战者号”爆炸是说明过度自信会导致灾难的一个例子。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. (她发现，智力谦逊的学生更有可能去检验自己是否真正理解了学习材料，并寻找自己理解上的漏洞。当他们看到考试成绩时，他们会调整学习策略，以提高学习表现，并掌握好材料为下一次考试做准备)”可知，智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习，相应调整学习方法。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. (这些学生以为自己对某个科目got down pat，但在考试中被要求解释时，他们发现自己的理解并没有自己想象的那么多)”可知，学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信，认为自己对该相关知识十分了解，或已经全会了，但到考场答题时，才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。由此可知，got a subject down pat应是“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”之意。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. (好消息是，过度自信有一种“疫苗”，科学家称之为“智力谦逊”——即认识到你的信念可能是错误的)”及全文最后一句“If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” (如果你觉得很难质疑一种信念，可以尝试迈出“一小步”)”可知，最后一句中所说的“question a belief”即前文所说的“recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong”，也就是第二段最后一句引号中所言的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说，“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知，所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做，会在下文进行介绍，即如何练习做到“智力谦虚”。故选D项。 D Scientists have studied gossip defined as talking about someone not present for decades. That’s not surprising given the activity’s near universality in any social group, big or small. People in modern societies spend about an hour a day immersed in chin-wagging, one study reports. But investigators are now approaching this fixture of social life from a new perspective. In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target. So what, if anything, can be good about gossip? Whenever someone confides something to you about someone you both know — whether the information is positive, negative or neutral — it brings the two of you closer, creating a social bond. According to one study, it even increases your liking for the spreader of the information. Plus, it enforces group norms. For example, complaints about a co-worker who puts smelly banana peels in the paper trash are likely to get back to them and let them know that the conduct is not acceptable. Another experiment was led by social psychologist Terence Cruz, then at Free University Amsterdam. Cruz and his team recruited 300 people in a community in the Netherlands and asked them to list 15 people with whom they had frequent contact. Four times each day for 10 days, the subjects were asked to report on any information that someone in their social network told them, or that they told someone, about a third person. The experiment showed that the gossiper passed on true information when they had no conflict of interest with the target. When they had a rivalry or other conflict with the target, however, they were likelier to pass on things that were self-serving or absolutely false. Nevertheless, one of the most surprising results of gossip, Cruz says, is that it helps people better understand the behavior of others. For example, a co-worker shows up late every day, but if they learn through gossip that the offending colleague is in the middle of a divorce or the like, they are less likely to complain. Perhaps more importantly, they sympathize with the co-worker and feel motivated to help the miserable guy. 12. What is the new perspective investigators now adopt? A. Analyze the new feature of social life. B. Focus on the benefits of chin-wagging. C. Investigate the potential risks of gossip. D. Look at either the spreader or the target. 13. What impact might gossip have according to paragraph 3? A. It fuels the popularity of the target. B. It betters the workplace environment. C. It offends the privacy of co-workers. D. It enhances the overall social bond. 14. What does Cruz’s research find? A. An average person contacts 15 people frequently. B. Gossips tend to spread incorrect information. C. One can never keep their privacy from colleagues. D. Workplace relationships can benefit from gossip. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Bad Name, Not Necessarily Bad Thing B. Double-Edged Sword, Aid Plus Harm C. The Bitter Truth about Chin-Wagging D. The Unsaid Intention behind Gossip 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家对八卦的研究视角从过去的负面影响转向其社会功能和积极意义，探讨了八卦在强化社交纽带、规范群体行为及增进理解方面的作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target.(在过去的几十年里，研究人员主要关注八卦带来的损害，并将焦点集中于八卦传播者或目标人物——即被谈论的人。现在，他们转变了研究方向，更多地关注八卦的好处以及涉及八卦传播者、听众和目标人物这三方网络的动态关系)”可知，研究者现在采用的新观点是关注八卦的好处。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Whenever someone confides something to you about someone you both know — whether the information is positive, negative or neutral — it brings the two of you closer, creating a social bond. According to one study, it even increases your liking for the spreader of the information. Plus, it enforces group norms. For example, complaints about a co-worker who puts smelly banana peels in the paper trash are likely to get back to them and let them know that the conduct is not acceptable.(每当有人向你吐露你们都认识的某个人的事情时——无论这些信息是积极的、消极的还是中性的——它都会拉近你们俩的距离，建立起一种社会纽带。根据一项研究，它甚至会增加你对信息传播者的喜爱。此外，它还强化了群体规范。例如，抱怨同事把有臭味的香蕉皮扔进废纸篓，可能会让他们知道这种行为是不可接受的)”可知，八卦能拉近双方距离，形成社交纽带，还能通过规范群体行为来改善环境，比如对同事不恰当行为的抱怨会让其明白行为不当，从而改善工作场所环境，故八卦可以改善工作环境。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Nevertheless, one of the most surprising results of gossip, Cruz says, is that it helps people better understand the behavior of others. For example, a co-worker shows up late every day, but if they learn through gossip that the offending colleague is in the middle of a divorce or the like, they are less likely to complain. Perhaps more importantly, they sympathize with the co-worker and feel motivated to help the miserable guy.(然而，克鲁兹说，八卦最令人惊讶的结果之一是，它能帮助人们更好地理解他人的行为。例如，一个同事每天都迟到，但如果他们通过八卦得知这个冒犯他的同事正在离婚或类似的事情中，他们就不太可能抱怨了。也许更重要的是，他们同情同事，并感到有动力去帮助这个可怜的家伙)”可知，克鲁兹的研究发现职场关系可以从八卦中获益。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“In past decades, researchers focused primarily on the damage arising from gossiping, and they zeroed in on either the gossip spreader or the target — the person being talked about. Now, they have changed course by looking more at the benefits of gossip and the dynamics of a three-part network that involves a gossiper, a listener and a target.(在过去的几十年里，研究人员主要关注八卦带来的损害，并将焦点集中于八卦传播者或目标人物——即被谈论的人。现在，他们转变了研究方向，更多地关注八卦的好处以及涉及八卦传播者、听众和目标人物这三方网络的动态关系)”以及文章先介绍了过去人们对八卦主要关注其危害，如今发现八卦有诸多好处，如拉近人际关系、强化群体规范、助力理解他人等，整体重点在于纠正人们对八卦的片面认知，强调它并非全然是坏事。故A选项“坏名声，不一定是坏事”能够概括文章的主旨，是文章的最佳标题。故选A。 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。 Scary movies are something you either really love or avoid at all costs. There are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies. ___16___ According to Dr. Brownlowe, there are several psychological benefits to watching horror films. A 2010 study found that people who like horror movies tend to enjoy feeling really intense emotions like fear. When you’re scared, your brain’s immediate response is to go into fight-or-flight mode. ___17___ For instance, your heart may race and your muscles may tense. It can even cause you to scream or jump. “Believe it or not, for some people, this is a lot of fun,” Brownlowe says. ___18___ But for some people with anxiety, they may find horror movies comforting. The experience of your brain calming itself down after watching a scary movie is actually neuro-chemically very pleasurable. That’s because the chemical release related to the ‘rest-and-digest’ brain response causes an increased sense of well-being. Dating coaches also recommend watching a horror movie to get closer to your partner. Fear arousing situations, like watching a scary movie, can increase the attraction between two people. Some think that scary movies accesses a deeper part of our collective consciousness as humans. ___19___ When you’re vulnerable (易受……伤害，影响) with another person, it creates a sense of connection. ___20___ If you feel things very deeply, watching scary movies may be a little too much for you. If not, they can be really fun and sometimes even comforting. A. Horror movies are meant to scare you. B. Some even find them oddly comforting. C. Everyone experiences things differently. D. When this happens, your entire body can react. E. At the same time, fear is not exactly a positive emotion. F. It draws us closer when we have the same frightened experience. G. Lastly, such movies help you satisfy the curiosity about your dark side. 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. A 19. F 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。人们对恐怖电影的观感各不相同，文章对观看恐怖电影的心理上的好处进行了说明。 【16题详解】 根据前文“There are a few different reasons behind why people like scary movies.(人们喜欢恐怖电影的原因有很多)”可知，选项B中的even是对前文内容的递进，所以选项B“有些人甚至觉得它们奇怪地令人感到安慰。”切合文意。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据后文“For instance, your heart may race and your muscles may tense.(例如，你的心跳加速，肌肉紧张)”可知，此处是指人感到恐惧时全身都会有反应，所以选项D“当这种情况发生时，你的整个身体都会做出反应。”切合文意。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据后文“But for some people with anxiety, they may find horror movies comforting.(但对于一些患有焦虑症的人来说，恐怖片可能会让他们感到安慰)”可知，此处需要一个与后文形成对比的前提，即先说明恐怖电影的本质是 “吓人”，再通过But引出其对特定人群的反向作用（安慰效果）。所以选项 A“恐怖电影就是用来吓你的”直接点明恐怖电影的核心目的是制造恐惧，与后文 “但对焦虑者来说反而安慰” 形成鲜明对比，逻辑衔接紧密。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据后文“When you’re vulnerable (易受……伤害，影响) with another person, it creates a sense of connection.(当你对另一个人示弱时，就会产生一种联系感)”可知，此处是指相同的恐惧经历可以拉近人们的距离，所以选项F“当我们有同样的恐惧经历时，它会拉近我们的距离。”切合文意。故选F。 【20题详解】 根据后文“If you feel things very deeply, watching scary movies may be a little too much for you. If not, they can be really fun and sometimes even comforting.(如果你对事物的感受非常深刻，看恐怖电影可能对你来说有点过头了。如果没有，它们也会很有趣，有时甚至会让人感到安慰)”可知，此处是指人们对事物的感受各不相同，所以选项C“每个人的体验都不一样。”切合文意。故选C。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One summer day, Sarah decided to go for a bike ride in the countryside.

Every moment, we were moving farther away from the city, the place where I knew how to do things right. The car engine wasn’t off before Grandma hugged me. I slowly dragged myself out of the car. “Jude, you look unhappy. Why?” Grandma asked. She acted like nothing bad had happened last time. Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr. Jackson had lost because of my mistake? Was he still upset with me? “I’m fine,” I answered. “I’m just missing my computer camp. Computers are something I’m good at.” “That sounds disappointing.” Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone, and Mr. Jackson was like family to her. Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds. He lost almost all his roses for the farmers’ market. Now, back at the farm, I felt nervous. I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr. Jackson! He was opening the door and calling Grandma. “I need help!” he yelled to her. “Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!” That was when he saw me. I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism. I deserved it. He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However, Mr. Jackson greeted me happily, “Great, Jude is here! Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.” I shook my head. “I am not competent. I am sorry I messed things up.” He was surprised and comforted me, “It was an accident. Being competent doesn’t mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window. There were piles of roses waiting to be sold. “Jude, can you help us? We want to sell roses online. We have a computer and all the parts(零件)for our internet connection, but we just can’t set it up,” Grandma asked. No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I could be someone who was really competent. “I can definitely help with that! Where are the parts?” Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts. Rolling up my sleeves, I carefully connected everything. It was a piece of cake to me. “Done!” I announced confidently. After a few adjustments, the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses. I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos, added descriptions, and set prices. Before long, notifications started showing up — people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours, orders for roses flooded in. “This is amazing, Jude!” Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about, packing flowers. Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label. The energy was electric — everyone was on their feet, moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders. The farm felt alive, and so did I. To our surprise, the roses sold out in just half a day. “You’ve brought the farm into the twenty-first century, Jude,” Grandma hugged me tightly. I realized that being competent wasn’t about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑假爸爸带Jude去奶奶的农场，但Jude去年在农场时因忘记锁门，导致山羊进了奶奶邻居Jackson先生的花田，最后毁了所有的玫瑰花，现在Jackson回到农场感到紧张，Jude在Jackson先生来找奶奶帮忙时试图躲避，Jackson却很高兴见到他并说去年只是一次意外，奶奶询问擅长电脑的Jude是否能帮忙在网上卖玫瑰花。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“也许我可以成为一个真正有能力的人。”可知，第一段可描写Jude组装电脑并开始在网上卖玫瑰花。 ②由第二段首句内容“几个小时内，订购玫瑰的订单如潮水般涌来。”可知，第二段可描写玫瑰花很快被卖完以及Jude的感悟。 2.续写线索：组装电脑——开始在网上售卖——接到大量订单——大家为订单忙碌——玫瑰花售空——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①宣布：announce/declare ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight/happiness ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Following Grandma, I went into the room, where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.（由关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Mr. Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.（由从属连词as引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
