平顶山市一中2023—2024学年高三（上）周练11 出题人：贾鲁娅 审题人：张贝贝 考试日期：1.1 1、 第一部分 阅读 (每小题2.5分，满分20分） 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。 C Here’s a quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly, the answer is Person B. This quirk (怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn’t care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk, Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man’s attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin’s takeaway: “He that has once done you a kindness will be ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance (失调). It’s difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind. “I don’t like Joe, but I am doing him a favor,” we might think. “So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot, it alone doesn’t explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was, rather, the affiliative (亲和的) motive that the requests convey. That is, we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans, and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and, by extension, we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It’s in our genes. Yet there is much we still don’t know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less, not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing; asking to borrow a car is another. 28 Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin’s experience? A To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B. To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C. To stress the importance of strategic requests. D. To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 29. What is a reason for people’s tendency to like those asking for favors? A. Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B. Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C. Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D. Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 30. What does the underlined word “altruistic” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Selfless. B. Impolite. C. Aggressive. D. Responsible. 31. What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A. It makes little sense. B. It applies to most cultures. C. It has situational limitations. D. It has great practical significance. D At one time, our growing population was seen as central to wildlife extinction, resource exhaustion, pollution and environmental destruction. But today, our concerns shift to declining birth rates due to increased reproductive choice for women. This is a positive development, but is often described as a “crisis” in the media, highlighting economic and senior care challenges. Lost in the conversation are the many positive aspects of an aging society, which is the result of people living healthier and longer lives, and common-sense realities like reduced needs for infrastructure (基础设施) and lower ecological impacts. Also lost is the fact that our population still grows by 80 million people every year. And the consequences of high birth rates are severe. Among them is global warming. In fact, increased emissions (排放) from population growth have canceled more than three quarters of the emissions saved through energy efficiency and renewables over the past three decades. Yet, no matter how well documented the link between population and climate, lowering our population is notably absent from the conversation on solutions. Instead, the focus is on technology that will supposedly allow our entire growing population to enjoy the energy-intensive lifestyles now enjoyed by the rich, and with no climate impacts. But “green” technology is not the solution it is advertised to be. Its expansion to the degree needed to power a growing population at a decent standard of living would itself require a shocking investment in fossil (化石) fuels. It also requires massive mining operations, many of which take place on the backs of low-wage workers in Africa where it is driving destruction of rainforests critical to the survival of great apes. Besides, it requires 10 times the land area as fossil fuel plants for the same amount of energy generated. When global warming threatens to push billions into unsafe temperatures, it is no time to panic that we are adding fewer to those billions. In fact, declining birth rates should be cause for celebration as they signify advances in gender equality and a reduced burden on Earth. 32. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. The global population is decreasing every year. B. The benefits of an aging society are overlooked. C. The ecological environment is turning for the better. D. The media make up misleading news about the population. 33. What is highlighted as a disadvantage of high birth rates? A. Reduced infrastructure needs. B. Challenges in senior care services. C. A slowdown in economic growth. D. Increased greenhouse gas emissions. 34. Why is “green” technology questioned in the text? A. It does damage to the ecosystem. B. It is not popular around the world. C. It is unaffordable for poor regions. D. It has little effect on reducing pollution. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A Aging Societies: A Global Crisis B. The Mystery of “Green” Technology C. The Trend of Population Growth D. Declining Birth Rates: A Hopeful Sign 第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节：(共15个小题;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。 When I was young, my family had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood.

We’re putting together a charity concert next month with the goal of raising funds to support students from economically disadvantaged families. It’ll be a night filled with heartwarming music and shared smiles in our school auditorium. Now, here’s where you come in. We’ve been fans of your performances, and we’d be absolutely excited to have you share your gift with us. Here are a few ideas that might suit your style. If you fancy taking center stage, how about a solo piano performance of a classical piece? It would be a showstopper! Or, if you’re up for it, a duet with other student musicians could be a magical collaboration that our audience would love. I’d like to hear what you think. Just let me know by the end of this week. Looking forward to your reply and hopefully seeing you on stage! Yours, Li Hua 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
