B As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing — The Barker. The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. Before films included synchronized (同步的) sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered “part-talkies”. The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time. The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and robbed us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of. “Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema. 4. Who made the audience of The Barker know better about its background? A. A star who was cast in the movie. B. A man who had a look of the past. C. An elderly gentleman from the 1920s. D. A staff member working at the box office. 5. Which of the following is true of “part-talkies”? A. The Barker is a “part-talkie”. B. “Part-talkies” are totally silent. C. “Part-talkies” involve live accompaniment. D. The films before The Barker are “part-talkies”. 6. What is the author’s attitude towards the streaming film services? A. Ambiguous. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Objective. 7. What does the author imply about the “1920s playbook” in the final paragraph? A. Modern cinemas should mimic Broadway-style theaters. B. Filmmakers should focus on historical themes. C. Audiences should value shared viewing traditions. D. Theaters need larger screens to compete with streaming. C Some talk of building settlements on the moon or mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future. Others have their sights set closer to home: on future cities under the ocean. “Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys. Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space aquanauts try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity. Despite the challenges several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction. A series of space station-like undersea living quarters for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed by 2025 off Curacao, an island north of Venezuela in South America. An undersea colony called Ven Base Alpha will be built near a hydrothermal vent, which would supply it with energy. Meanwhile, an undersea city called Ocean Spiral in Japan would link its surface to the deep sea, using the difference in pressure to generate energy and produce fresh water. This sounds amazing, but it would be extremely expensive and remains just a design. Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully, says Susanne Menden-Deuer, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island. Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious, irreplaceable resource that they are,” she says. 8. What do we know about Aquarius? A. It is still under construction. B. It functions as an undersea school bus. C. It is the only ocean habitat in operation. D. It only allows a person to live there for 31 days. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The present and future of living under the sea. B. The reasons and challenges of living under the sea. C. The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements. D. The problems and findings of building undersea settlements. 10. What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text? A. Rapid development of undersea habitats. B. Protection of irreplaceable ocean resource. C. Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems. D. Struggles with pollution and climate change. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An online post. B. A science fiction. C. An-academic article. D. A science magazine. D Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie? A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect. Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants. These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns. “The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.” 12. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage? A. The economic benefits of tax compliance. B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges. C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations. D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud. 13. What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3? A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering. 14. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting? A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.” C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.” 15. Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage? A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties. B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals. C Promoting honesty pledges in international trade. D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements. 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。 In today’s world, many retired people feel lonely and unsure about their purpose in life. ___16___Some find it hard to get a job because they lack experience or practical skills. Others want to live on their own but can’t afford the high cost of rent. ___17___ This means bringing older and younger people together to help each other out.

By sharing their time and skills, both sides gain something meaningful — older adults feel more connected and useful, while young people get support, guidance, and often a fresh perspective on life. ___18___ In some programs, retired volunteers visit primary schools to listen to kids read and give them one-on-one support. Similar programs also exist in secondary schools and even universities. Other projects send children or teenagers into retirement homes regularly — to teach digital skills, entertain the residents, or simply keep them company and hear their stories. ___19___ These students may live rent-free in exchange for helping with chores and offering support, or they pay less rent while checking in regularly and having friendly chats with their older housemates. These intergenerational projects have made a real difference. By connecting people from different age groups and backgrounds, they help build trust, mutual respect, and lasting friendships.___20___ A. It’s a truly win-win for everyone involved. B. These are important for a connected society. C. At the same time, many young people face their own struggles. D. Studies have shown that retired people can still contribute to society. E.

We have a Norwegian elkhound (柴犬) named Torgy. Elkhounds are beautiful. They are medium-sized, strong, square-looking dogs. Their thick, silver-gray fur (皮毛) has a pure white undercoat, making a kind of flag that moves up and down when they run. They run everywhere. In fact, they are good at roaming (闲逛), and Torgy is better than most of his breed. In August, the heat wave started. For quite a few days, Torgy started disappearing in the afternoon, and he wouldn’t show up again until we were getting supper on the table. Every day, Torgy hung around during the cool of the morning, but as the sun rose to its full height, he got up from his favorite spot under the elm tree, stretched, shook himself all over, and ran out of the yard. There was no water from the stream or mud from the fishing pond. No dust from the country roads or weeds from the woods. Why could Torgy come home remarkably clean as a dog on the move? “Where have you been, Torgy?” I turned his head toward me and looked him in the eyes. He licked my nose. A week later, Mom took us on a walk downtown. It is only four blocks from our house to the middle of the town, which is how small it is. We walked down Division Street, which brought us right by the Webb Fur Salon, the newest store in town and the only one with air conditioning. In the middle of summer, it wasn’t easy to sell furs. It was said Mr. Webb, the store owner, was offering some discounts in order to attract customers. The air conditioning also provided a comfortable environment for this purpose. “Let’s see which fur I’m going to pick out today,” Mom said as she approached the display window where the expensive, fur-hanging mannequins (人体模特) were on show. She looked in the window and stopped dead in shock. Paragraph 1: Her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound came out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Your dog has been making himself at home in our window for days,” Mr. Webb explained with a big smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 成都石室中学2024-2025学年度下期高2025届三诊模拟 英语试题 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Users are completely banned from conversations (including mobile phones), and no group work is allowed. (二楼的期刊室是一个安静区域，要求绝对减少噪音和干扰。用户完全禁止交谈（包括使用手机），也不允许进行小组活动。)”可知，在期刊室中应避免任何噪音干扰，因此建议将手机设置为静音模式以符合规定。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Group Study Rooms部分的“Group study rooms must be reserved online using a valid University account and a University Card on a first-come-first-served basis. (团体学习室必须通过有效的大学账户和大学卡在线预约，并按先到先得的原则分配。)”可知，预约团体学习室的条件是拥有有效的学生卡。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中“Research Study Rooms”部分描述：“The Library is not responsible for personal property (laptops, textbooks, notebooks, etc.) left in these rooms. (图书馆不对留在这些房间内的个人物品（笔记本电脑、教科书、笔记本等）负责。)”以及团体学习室的相关规则可知，图书馆对个人物品不负责任这一规定适用于两种房间。故选D项。 B As I walked into the George Eastman Museum’s Dryden Theater, I felt as though I had stepped into a time machine. On the way to the traditional, old-timey box office, tons of vintage movie posters and the theater entrance made me feel like I was on Broadway. As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing — The Barker. The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. Before films included synchronized (同步的) sound, films were played with live accompaniment and contained subtitles to add context. With the invention of synchronized sound, films slowly added talking dialogue in scenes throughout the film; these films were considered “part-talkies”. The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. The film was revolutionary not only for the technology but also for the actors. My film experience consists of mostly talkies, so when I finished The Barker, I felt like I witnessed something brand new for the first time. The experience I had at Dryden Theater was unlike any movie-going experience I had ever had. The music, the film, and the atmosphere itself were completely unique! Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and robbed us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of. “Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema. 4. Who made the audience of The Barker know better about its background? A. A star who was cast in the movie. B. A man who had a look of the past. C. An elderly gentleman from the 1920s. D. A staff member working at the box office. 5. Which of the following is true of “part-talkies”? A. The Barker is a “part-talkie”. B. “Part-talkies” are totally silent. C. “Part-talkies” involve live accompaniment. D. The films before The Barker are “part-talkies”. 6. What is the author’s attitude towards the streaming film services? A. Ambiguous. B. Approving. C. Critical. D. Objective. 7. What does the author imply about the “1920s playbook” in the final paragraph? A. Modern cinemas should mimic Broadway-style theaters. B. Filmmakers should focus on historical themes. C. Audiences should value shared viewing traditions. D. Theaters need larger screens to compete with streaming. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在Dryden Theater观看电影《The Barker》的独特体验，并呼吁人们重视共同观影的传统。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“As everyone took their seats, an older gentleman who looked like he walked straight out of the 1920s gave the attendees a historical background of the film we were seeing — The Barker. (当大家入座时，一位看起来像是从20世纪20年代直接走出来的老先生向我们介绍了我们正在观看的电影《The Barker》的历史背景。)”可知，一位有过去模样的人让《The Barker》的观众更好地了解了它的背景。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The film itself, which was released in 1928, is considered a “part-talkie”. (这部于1928年上映的电影本身被认为是一部“部分有声电影”。)” 以及第三段中 “The Barker, which explores the lives of carnival workers, is the talking debut (首次登场) of all of the main cast. (《The Barker》这部电影探索了嘉年华工人的生活，是所有主要演员的首次有声表演。)”可知，《The Barker》是一部 “部分有声电影”。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Since viewing films has gradually been switched to streaming services, especially since the pandemic, this has both increased the accessibility of films and robbed us of reliance on a social experience to watch a movie — one that attending The Barker reminded me of. (自从观影逐渐转向流媒体服务，尤其是自疫情以来，这既增加了电影的可及性，也剥夺了我们对看电影这种社交体验的依赖 —— 观看《The Barker》让我想起了这种社交体验。)” 可知，作者认为流媒体服务虽然增加了看电影的便利性，但剥夺了人们看电影的社交体验，所以作者对其持客观态度，既提到了好处也指出了弊端。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Barbenheimer”, a phenomenon that contrasts the obvious differences in the recently released movies Barbie and Oppenheimer, allowed us to return to the movie-going adventure. Finally, everyone wanted big screens and surround sound rather than the tiny screens in bedrooms. More importantly, we were all able to interact with a piece of content alongside other people. “Barbenheimer” brought back the pastime of going to the cinema — one that I think we should continue to engage in. I say we take a page out of the 1920s playbook and return to the cinema. (“Barbenheimer”，一种对比了最近上映的电影《Barbie》和《Oppenheimer》之间明显差异的现象，让我们回到了去电影院观影的惊奇经历中。最后，每个人都想要大屏幕和环绕声，而不是卧室里的小屏幕。更重要的是，我们都能够和其他人一起对一部影片的内容进行互动。“Barbenheimer”带回了去电影院看电影的消遣方式 —— 我认为我们应该继续参与这种方式。我说我们应该借鉴 20 世纪 20 年代的做法，回到电影院。)”可知，作者提到“20世纪20年代的做法”是暗示观众应该重视共同观影的传统。故选C。 C Some talk of building settlements on the moon or mars to help make sure humanity survives long into the future. Others have their sights set closer to home: on future cities under the ocean. “Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius. It’s about the size of a school bus and located 62 feet below the ocean surface off the Florida Keys. Just as astronauts test what it would be like to live in space, aquanauts try out undersea living with an eye on the future. Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean. It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity. Despite the challenges, several new ocean habitats and cities are under construction. A series of space station-like undersea living quarters for aquanauts called Proteus are scheduled to be completed by 2025 off Curacao, an island north of Venezuela in South America. An undersea colony called Ven Base Alpha will be built near a hydrothermal vent, which would supply it with energy. Meanwhile, an undersea city called Ocean Spiral in Japan would link its surface to the deep sea, using the difference in pressure to generate energy and produce fresh water. This sounds amazing, but it would be extremely expensive and remains just a design. Not everyone agrees that building homes in the ocean is a good idea. This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change. It’s important to make sure that any construction is done carefully, says Susanne Menden-Deuer, an oceanographer at the University of Rhode Island. Wild undersea habitats should be treated as “the precious, irreplaceable resource that they are,” she says. 8. What do we know about Aquarius? A. It is still under construction. B. It functions as an undersea school bus. C. It is the only ocean habitat in operation. D. It only allows a person to live there for 31 days. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The present and future of living under the sea. B. The reasons and challenges of living under the sea. C. The purpose and cost of building undersea settlements. D. The problems and findings of building undersea settlements. 10. What would be the result of building homes in the ocean according to the text? A. Rapid development of undersea habitats. B. Protection of irreplaceable ocean resource. C. Negative impacts on undersea ecosystems. D. Struggles with pollution and climate change. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An online post. B. A science fiction. C. An-academic article. D. A science magazine. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在海底建立居住地的可能性、面临的挑战及对生态环境的潜在影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““Technologically speaking, it is absolutely possible to colonize the bottom of the sea,” says Fabien Cousteau, a well-known ocean explorer who once spent 31 days living in what is now the world’s only functioning undersea habitat, Aquarius.(著名海洋探险家法比安·库斯托表示：“从技术层面来讲，在海底建立殖民地绝对是有可能的。” 法比安·库斯托曾在如今世界上唯一仍在使用的海底栖息地Aquarius中生活了31天)”可知，Aquarius是目前唯一在运行的海洋栖息地。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。第三段开头提到“Escaping from disasters such as climate change, wars, or pandemics is one reason to live under the sea. Others include studying, exploring, or appreciating the ocean.(逃离气候变化、战争或流行病等灾难是在海底生活的一个原因。其他原因包括研究、探索或欣赏海洋)”讲述了生活在海底的原因；接着又说“It’s costly and expensive to constantly keep up an ocean habitat which must pump in or make its own air, electricity, and fresh water. Inhabitants have to deal with high pressure. And infections can develop rapidly due to high humidity.(持续维持一个必须泵入或自行制造空气、电力和淡水的海洋栖息地成本高昂。居民必须应对高压。而且由于湿度高，感染会迅速发展)”说明在海底生活面临的挑战。所以第三段主要讲的是在海底生活的原因和挑战。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This type of development could place even more strain on ecosystems that are already struggling with pollution and climate change.(这种发展可能会给已经饱受污染和气候变化困扰的生态系统带来更大的压力)”可知，在海洋中建造房屋会对海底生态系统产生负面影响。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了在海底建造定居点和城市的可能性、原因、面临的挑战以及一些正在建设的项目，还讨论了这种发展对生态系统的影响，内容涉及科学探索和研究等方面，符合科学杂志的主题范畴。故本文最有可能来自科学杂志。故选D。 D Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie? A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded. Psychologist Janis Zickfeld and his team conducted experiments with over 21,000 participants from the U.S. and the U.K., simulating a tax-reporting scenario where subjects could lie about their earnings without penalty. Participants performed a sorting task in which they earned money based on how quickly they finished. They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. The researchers generated 21 types of honesty pledges. The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges. The research found that the pledges were far from equal in preserving honest behavior. Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). Casting honesty as all-or-nothing (“either the reporting is honest or it is not”) and appealing to social norms were also both modestly effective. Pledges highlighting social bonds or self-image did not have a significant effect. Timing also mattered: pledges presented after completing a task but before reporting results were more effective than those shown earlier. Additionally, participants who typed their pledges rather than just checking a box showed higher compliance rates, suggesting active engagement strengthens commitment. Interestingly, the study uncovered demographic (人口统计的) differences. Younger males with low scores in “honesty-humility” personality traits were most likely to cheat, while cultural factors also played a role — Americans lied more frequently than British participants in the pound-denominated experiment, where the British pound is used, so foreign currencies perhaps seemed more abstract to the American participants. These findings have practical implications. As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns. “The beauty of these interventions is: they’re very cheap,” Shalvi says. But this study is only a first step. “Once we know what effects are vigorous and steady, we can go to policymakers and suggest randomized controlled trials in target populations. Then, if that works, we can look at changing tax forms or whatever.” 12. What is the primary focus of the research discussed in the passage? A. The economic benefits of tax compliance. B. The psychological mechanisms behind effective integrity pledges. C. A comparison of ethical standards across cultures and nations. D. Technological solutions for reducing financial fraud. 13. What does the underlined word “compliance” mean in paragraph 3? A. Understanding B. Agreement C. Obedience D. Remembering. 14. Which pledge would likely work best in a school exam setting? A. “Good students don’t cheat.” B. “Cheating violates academic rules.” C. “I value honesty in education.” D. “Most students prefer fair tests.” 15 Which real-world application of the study’s findings is mentioned in the passage? A. Designing tax forms with stricter penalties. B. Tracking medical equipment returns in hospitals. C. Promoting honesty pledges in international trade. D. Training teachers to use vague moral statements. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是诚信誓言对人类行为的影响，揭示了通过精确措辞可以有效减少不诚实行为的心理机制及实际应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Can merely making a pledge (誓言) to be honest without any punishment involved lead people to behave more honestly, even when there’s reason to lie?(仅仅做出诚实誓言而没有任何惩罚，是否能让人更诚实行事，即使有理由撒谎？)”以及第二段中的“A recent study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that honesty pledges can effectively reduce dishonest behavior — but only when carefully worded.(最近发表在《自然·人类行为》上的一项研究表明，诚信誓言可以有效减少不诚实行为——但前提是措辞必须谨慎)”以及实验通过模拟税务申报场景，对比不同誓言的效力发现，明确的规则性誓言显著降低了作弊行为，这一过程涉及心理学机制，如承诺的主动参与和社会规范的影响，由此可知，研究的主要焦点是探讨诚信誓言的心理机制及其有效性。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The tax compliance figure averaged 82.3 percent for participants in the control group who declared their income without taking pledges, compared with 86.2 percent averaged across all the groups that made pledges.(未做誓言而直接申报收入的对照组参与者的报税compliance平均为82.3%，而做出誓言的组别平均为86.2%)”可知，此处介绍了两个不同组别报税的情况，结合第二段中的“They then reported how much they had made, which was taxed at 35 percent. Participants could lie without consequence but were also told the collected tax would go to the Red Cross. (随后，他们需要报告自己的收入，这些收入将被征收35%的税。参与者可以毫无后果地撒谎，但他们被告知，所收税款将捐给红十字会)”可知，参与者要按照规定征收35%的税，他们可以毫无后果的撒谎，由此可知，实验中比较的征税情况应是纳税合规率，所以划线单词的意思与“合乎规则，遵守规则”意义相近。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Specific pledges like “Misreporting is forbidden” reduced cheating by nearly 50% compared to vague statements such as “I am an honest person.” The next most effective spelled out the meaning of dishonesty or the rules to be followed (“I understand that misreporting is forbidden in this study”). (明确的誓言如“虚报是被禁止的”比模糊的陈述如“我是诚实的人”更能减少作弊行为。次有效的誓言明确了不诚实的含义或应遵循的规则)”可知，明确的誓言比模糊的陈述更能减少作弊行为。由此可知，在学校考试中，最有效的誓言应具体说明规则，如“作弊违反学术规则”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“As researcher Shaul Shalvi notes, “Precision in wording isn’t just about grammar; it’s what separates symbolic gestures from real behavioral change.” The team is now applying these insights in real-world settings, including hospitals tracking medical equipment returns.(正如研究员肖尔·沙尔维所指出的：“措辞的精确性不仅仅是语法问题，它还是象征性姿态与真实行为改变之间的分水岭。” 该团队现在正在现实环境中应用这些见解，包括医院追踪医疗设备的归还情况)”可知，文中提到的实际应用是“在医院追踪医疗设备归还”。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。 In today’s world, many retired people feel lonely and unsure about their purpose in life. ___16___Some find it hard to get a job because they lack experience or practical skills.

My suggestion is to develop an AI system that designs personalized training plans based on students’ fitness levels and tracks their progress through wearable devices. Traditional PE classes often adopt a “one-size-fits-all” approach, which may not suit everyone. AI can analyze individual data to create tailored exercises, ensuring safer and more effective workouts. It also provides instant feedback to correct movements, reducing injury risks. This approach will improve overall fitness and help students build sustainable exercise habits.

We have a Norwegian elkhound (柴犬) named Torgy. Elkhounds are beautiful. They are medium-sized, strong, square-looking dogs. Their thick, silver-gray fur (皮毛) has a pure white undercoat, making a kind of flag that moves up and down when they run. They run everywhere. In fact, they are good at roaming (闲逛), and Torgy is better than most of his breed. In August, the heat wave started. For quite a few days, Torgy started disappearing in the afternoon, and he wouldn’t show up again until we were getting supper on the table. Every day, Torgy hung around during the cool of the morning, but as the sun rose to its full height, he got up from his favorite spot under the elm tree, stretched, shook himself all over, and ran out of the yard. There was no water from the stream or mud from the fishing pond. No dust from the country roads or weeds from the woods. Why could Torgy come home remarkably clean as a dog on the move? “Where have you been Torgy?” I turned his head toward me and looked him in the eyes. He licked my nose. A week later, Mom took us on a walk downtown. It is only four blocks from our house to the middle of the town, which is how small it is. We walked down Division Street, which brought us right by the Webb Fur Salon, the newest store in town and the only one with air conditioning. In the middle of summer, it wasn’t easy to sell furs. It was said Mr. Webb, the store owner, was offering some discounts in order to attract customers. The air conditioning also provided a comfortable environment for this purpose. “Let’s see which fur I’m going to pick out today,” Mom said as she approached the display window where the expensive, fur-hanging mannequins (人体模特) were on show. She looked in the window and stopped dead in shock. Paragraph 1: Her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound came out. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Your dog has been making himself at home in our window for days,” Mr. Webb explained with a big smile. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Her mouth kept opening and closing but no sound came out. I followed her gaze and found that there was a dog just like our Torgy sitting in the window of the store. We entered the store to figure out whether it was our dog. Seeing our coming, the store owner greeted us warmly and asked what we wanted to buy. But we said nothing and just stared at the dog in the window, confirming that it was our dog Torgy. Confused, the owner asked whether we knew the dog. “Yes, it is our dog Torgy,” My Mom replied. “Your dog has been making himself at home in our window for days,” Mr. Webb explained with a big smile. “That can explain why it leaves every noon and comes back clean in such hot days,” I said. “It just came in and sat in the window, quiet and lovely. That made all of our customers like it, and brought much profit for me. I must thank your dog.” Mr. Webb said happily. Mom and I both felt proud, thanked the store owner and left with Torgy at last. 【解析】 【导语】本文以动物为中心展开，主要讲述作者家里有一只很漂亮的名为Torgy的挪威柴犬，在炎热的夏天，Torgy总是会在中午最热的时候出门，下午回家，但是身上总是干干净净的，对此作者感到好奇。一天作者陪妈妈去买皮草时，终于明白了原因。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她的嘴不停地张开和闭合，但没有发出任何声音。”可知，第一段可描写作者和母亲在皮草店发生的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容““你的狗在我们的窗户里呆了好几天，”韦布先生笑着解释道。”可知，第二段可描写店主和作者他们解释狗在他的店里的情况。 2. 续写线索：发现——困惑——解疑——感谢——离开 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①进入： enter/come in ②感谢：thank/appreciate 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②高兴地：happily/gladly 【点睛】【高分句型1】I followed her gaze and found that there was a dog just like our Torgy sitting in the window of the store.（由that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】We entered the store to figure out whether it was our dog.（由whether引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
