To us, the kitchen was a mysterious place. Our kitchen at home was so simple: an old Sparks oven, a refrigerator, a sink, and a table. At the New Eastern, it was a busy factory. Almost an entire wall was taken up by a line of huge black woks (锅). This was my father’s stage. He strode (大步走) the length of the four woks, each one fired up by gas flames underneath. Beneath him, blocks of wood, raised off the ground an inch or two, served to give his legs and feet some spring.
The sink was the size of a bathtub (浴); the refrigerator had glass doors and stretched three times as wide as the one at home. Every appliance was bigger, and there were things we never saw anywhere else, like the big metal oven in which my father hung long poles holding large pieces of pork. We could hear the fire roaring from the bottom of it. My dad would go about his business, and then, always at exactly the right time, he’d wander over, lift off the top, and take out several poles of barbecued pork—bright red, with black at the tips. If I happened by at that magical moment, I’d stop. “Yeet-gow!” I’d say. And he’d skillfully chop off a piece of the juicy, sweet meat. “One dollar!” he’d shout, and then hand it over.
My father made the best food in town. There was nothing he wouldn’t try. He was once proud of a rock candy he invented and determined to sell at the front counter of the New Eastern. We, of course, served as his guinea pigs—we couldn’t bring ourselves to tell him the sad truth: The candy was so hard that it was uneatable. I rolled a piece around my mouth. “Tastes good, Ba-Ba, ”I said. Then, when he looked away, I spat it out.
Sometimes, he liked to invent stories to us. Watching my little sister Shirley biting on an apple, he’d lean over. “Don’t eat the seed,” he said, “or an apple tree will grow inside you.” “What?” “Yes. Right inside your stomach, an apple tree!”

6. The author mentions the incident of a rock candy in paragraph 3_____________.
A. to highlight how he disliked the food his father made
B. to illustrate why they often kept secrets from his father

A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undeniably odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. New research suggests that modern adults are suffering from overmuch depression, so play may be as essential to our health as sleep. We’ve been in our nature to play, which is causing all kinds of problems — for ourselves, our children, and our planet.
It’s believed that adult play can lead to useful discoveries, which is supported by a study on Bali’s long-tailed monkeys. For her doctoral paper at the University of Lethbridge, animal researcher Camilla Cenni left two types of puzzle boxes for the monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container or use it to hit the box. She found the monkeys that previously had been observed dropping rocks for fun were more likely to solve the rock-dropping puzzle, while those that had discovered the joy of tapping rocks together think of the answer to the tapping puzzle.
This finding also suggests that somewhere, deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto-human (原始人) came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks, and scientific breakthroughs, Brown says. “When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work and play. Their labs were their playgrounds”.
“The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression,” says play researcher Stuart Brown, “Play is all about looking at a tough world with creativity and optimism. It gives us the ability to cooperate and get along with people who differ from us,” He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for our survival as a species.”
The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say: “I am not wasting time, or acting immature. I’m doing nothing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.”
8. What is the phenomenon the author describes at the beginning of the text?
A. Playing with snow is strange. B. Wild nature is difficult to find.
C. Many people are stressed out. D. People enjoy living close to nature.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The necessity of the study. B. The importance of adult play.
C. Main activities of monkeys. D. Various functions of a rock.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning a playful proto-human?
A. To explain the concept of play. B. To compare two research findings.
C. To highlight scientific breakthroughs. D. To offer some background information.
11. Which of the following best describes the author in the last paragraph?
A. Humorous. B. Optimistic. C. Caring. D. Active.
D
Anyone eager to view from high the cityscapes of Guangdong, a province in southern China, may soon be able to do so from the cabin of a flying taxi. On October 13th the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC)awarded a “type certificate”, a crucial piece of aviation paperwork, to the world’s first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) taxi. And in case that does not sound futuristic enough, the small two-seater, called the EH216-s, was also cleared to fly without a pilot on board.
The EH216-S is made by EHang, a company based in Guangdong. It looks like a scaled-up consumer drone (无人机) with a passenger bubble mounted on top. Propulsion (动力) is provided by 16 small rotors (转子), mounted on the tips of eight arms that fold away when the vehicle is not in use, allowing it to park in small spaces.
The CAAC gave its approval after EHang had conducted more than 40,000 test flights, including with volunteer passengers in 18 cities across China. It also subjected the EH216-S to structural analysis and crash tests, and checked its ability to keep flying if one of its rotors fails. Regulators also inspected the wireless network which EHang uses to link its flying taxis to a control centre on the ground. That allows backup pilots to land an aircraft by remote control if there is a problem.
EHang says its pilotless eVTOLs will be quieter than helicopters, their closest cousins, and much cheaper to operate, thanks in part to the ability to swap (交换) out an expensive pilot, for a second paying passenger. Performance, though, will be limited, at least at first. The EH216-S has a range of about 30 km, and a speed of up to 130 kph. The firm thinks that doing away with pilots will make things safer too. A computer’s attention never wavers (动摇). And flying is, in many ways, much easier to automate than driving, for there are fewer obstacles and unexpected situations to navigate.
EHang has ambitions beyond China, too. The firm’s closest competitors are Volocopter, a German company, and a pair of Californian firms, Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation. All three are conducting test flights of piloted eVTOLs of various designs.
12 What does the underlined word “cleared” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Produced. B. Approved. C. Removed. D. Tested.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. What features EH216-S possesses.
B. How strict the standard of EHang is.
C. What benefits pilotless eVTOLs have.
D. How EH216-S gets its approval.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. EVTOLs will definitely bring in a huge profit.
B. EVTOLs are popular worldwide.
C. EHang may face challenges in expanding future market.
D. EHang will improve its design to defeat competitors.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. An ad in a magazine. B. A review of a bestseller.
C. A column in a newspaper. D. A chapter of a science book.
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。
How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. ____16____ Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. ____17____ In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did – even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping”? Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. ____18____ It is the controlled system that helps people avoid mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
____19____ A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts is a frequent and important one. ____20____ Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.
A. Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B. Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C. But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D. It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.
E. We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F. The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.
G. Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.

Sitting on the stairs, I thought about the art camp and wished to feel a little ____26____. But by the time I started sketching, I had convinced myself that ____27____ the camp was my content decision.
I carefully ____28____ the pine’s strong trunk, straight and solid, and added the graceful branches. Once lost in my sketching, I ____29____ noticed the fly buzzing around me. Hence, I jumped when Mr. Weston suddenly remarked, “You’ve captured the essence of the tree’s ____30____ beautifully on paper.” “Thanks.” I smiled, glancing up. “If you spread out the roots near the surface, the tree could ____31____ sufficient water and soar even higher.” I noticed the knobby bumps (疙瘩状突起) of roots ____32____ out of the ground all around the tree. I’d never realized how ____33____ a tree’s roots stretched outward. It struck me that if I wanted to grow, I had to start ____34____ too.
That evening, I filled out the art camp application, ready to stretch my ____35____ out into new earth. I thought I am the pine.

As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
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。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.

To us, the kitchen was a mysterious place. Our kitchen at home was so simple: an old Sparks oven, a refrigerator, a sink, and a table. At the New Eastern, it was a busy factory. Almost an entire wall was taken up by a line of huge black woks (锅). This was my father’s stage. He strode (大步走) the length of the four woks, each one fired up by gas flames underneath. Beneath him, blocks of wood, raised off the ground an inch or two, served to give his legs and feet some spring.
The sink was the size of a bathtub (浴); the refrigerator had glass doors and stretched three times as wide as the one at home. Every appliance was bigger, and there were things we never saw anywhere else, like the big metal oven in which my father hung long poles holding large pieces of pork. We could hear the fire roaring from the bottom of it. My dad would go about his business, and then, always at exactly the right time, he’d wander over, lift off the top, and take out several poles of barbecued pork—bright red, with black at the tips. If I happened by at that magical moment, I’d stop. “Yeet-gow!” I’d say. And he’d skillfully chop off a piece of the juicy, sweet meat. “One dollar!” he’d shout, and then hand it over.
My father made the best food in town. There was nothing he wouldn’t try. He was once proud of a rock candy he invented and determined to sell at the front counter of the New Eastern. We, of course, served as his guinea pigs—we couldn’t bring ourselves to tell him the sad truth: The candy was so hard that it was uneatable. I rolled a piece around my mouth. “Tastes good, Ba-Ba, ”I said. Then, when he looked away, I spat it out.
Sometimes, he liked to invent stories to us. Watching my little sister Shirley biting on an apple, he’d lean over. “Don’t eat the seed,” he said, “or an apple tree will grow inside you.” “What?” “Yes. Right inside your stomach, an apple tree!”

C
A middle-aged woman playing by herself in the snow is an undeniably odd sight, but maybe it shouldn’t be. New research suggests that modern adults are suffering from overmuch depression, so play may be as essential to our health as sleep. We’ve been in our nature to play, which is causing all kinds of problems — for ourselves, our children, and our planet.
It’s believed that adult play can lead to useful discoveries, which is supported by a study on Bali’s long-tailed monkeys. For her doctoral paper at the University of Lethbridge, animal researcher Camilla Cenni left two types of puzzle boxes for the monkeys to solve. To get the food inside, they had to drop a rock into the container or use it to hit the box. She found the monkeys that previously had been observed dropping rocks for fun were more likely to solve the rock-dropping puzzle, while those that had discovered the joy of tapping rocks together think of the answer to the tapping puzzle.
This finding also suggests that somewhere deep in our evolutionary history, a playful proto-human (原始人) came up with the concept of stone tools. Even today, the urge to play underlies most of humanity’s greatest inventions, artworks, and scientific breakthroughs, Brown says. “When I interviewed Nobel winners, I was struck by how most of them didn’t separate work and play. Their labs were their playgrounds”.
“The opposite of play isn’t work; it’s depression,” says play researcher Stuart Brown, “Play is all about looking at a tough world with creativity and optimism. It gives us the ability to cooperate and get along with people who differ from us,” He goes so far as to declare that “adult play is necessary for our survival as a species.”
The next time I’m caught playing, I know exactly what I’ll say: “I am not wasting time, or acting immature. I’m doing nothing for the benefit of all humanity. You’re welcome.”
8. What is the phenomenon the author describes at the beginning of the text?
A. Playing with snow is strange. B. Wild nature is difficult to find.
C. Many people are stressed out. D. People enjoy living close to nature.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. The necessity of the study. B. The importance of adult play.
C. Main activities of monkeys. D. Various functions of a rock.
10. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning a playful proto-human?
A. To explain the concept of play. B. To compare two research findings.
C. To highlight scientific breakthroughs. D. To offer some background information.
11. Which of the following best describes the author in the last paragraph?
A. Humorous. B. Optimistic. C. Caring. D. Active.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明如今许多人压力很大,玩耍变得和睡眠一样对健康非常重要。

Anyone eager to view from high the cityscapes of Guangdong, a province in southern China, may soon be able to do so from the cabin of a flying taxi. On October 13th the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC)awarded a “type certificate”, a crucial piece of aviation paperwork, to the world’s first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) taxi. And in case that does not sound futuristic enough, the small two-seater, called the EH216-s, was also cleared to fly without a pilot on board.
The EH216-S is made by EHang, a company based in Guangdong. It looks like a scaled-up consumer drone (无人机) with a passenger bubble mounted on top. Propulsion (动力) is provided by 16 small rotors (转子), mounted on the tips of eight arms that fold away when the vehicle is not in use, allowing it to park in small spaces.
The CAAC gave its approval after EHang had conducted more than 40,000 test flights, including with volunteer passengers in 18 cities across China. It also subjected the EH216-S to structural analysis and crash tests, and checked its ability to keep flying if one of its rotors fails. Regulators also inspected the wireless network which EHang uses to link its flying taxis to a control centre on the ground. That allows backup pilots to land an aircraft by remote control if there is a problem.
EHang says its pilotless eVTOLs will be quieter than helicopters, their closest cousins, and much cheaper to operate, thanks in part to the ability to swap (交换) out an expensive pilot, for a second paying passenger. Performance, though, will be limited, at least at first. The EH216-S has a range of about 30 km, and a speed of up to 130 kph. The firm thinks that doing away with pilots will make things safer too. A computer’s attention never wavers (动摇). And flying is, in many ways, much easier to automate than driving, for there are fewer obstacles and unexpected situations to navigate.
EHang has ambitions beyond China, too. The firm’s closest competitors are Volocopter, a German company, and a pair of Californian firms, Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation. All three are conducting test flights of piloted eVTOLs of various designs.
12. What does the underlined word “cleared” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Produced. B. Approved. C. Removed. D. Tested.
13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. What features EH216-S possesses.
B. How strict the standard of EHang is.
C. What benefits pilotless eVTOLs have.
D. How EH216-S gets its approval.
14. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. EVTOLs will definitely bring in a huge profit.
B. EVTOLs are popular worldwide.
C. EHang may face challenges in expanding future market.
D. EHang will improve its design to defeat competitors.
15. Where is the text probably taken from?
A. An ad in a magazine. B. A review of a bestseller.
C. A column in a newspaper. D. A chapter of a science book.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了10月13日,中国民用航空局(CAAC)为世界上第一架电动垂直起降(eVTOL)出租车颁发了“型号证书”,这是一项至关重要的航空文书,空中出租车有望成为现实。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“And in case that does not sound futuristic enough, the small two-seater, called the EH216-s, was also cleared to fly without a pilot on board.”(如果这听起来不够未来,这款名为EH216-s的小型双座飞机也cleared在没有飞行员的情况下飞行)以及第三段中“The CAAC gave its approval after EHang had conducted more than 40,000 test flights, including with volunteer passengers in 18 cities across China.”(在亿航进行了4万多次试飞后,包括在中国18个城市进行的自愿乘客试飞,中国民航局批准了这一计划。)中的approval提示可知,此处为这款名为EH216-s的小型双座飞机也被允许在没有飞行员的情况下飞行。故可猜测划线单词cleared为“允许”的意思,结合选项B项Approved“批准,允许”意思一致。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“The CAAC gave its approval after EHang had conducted more than 40,000 test flights, including with volunteer passengers in 18 cities across China. It also subjected the EH216-S to structural analysis and crash tests, and checked its ability to keep flying if one of its rotors fails. Regulators also inspected the wireless network which EHang uses to link its flying taxis to a control centre on the ground. That allows backup pilots to land an aircraft by remote control if there is a problem.”(在亿航进行了4万多次试飞后,包括在中国18个城市进行的自愿乘客试飞,中国民航局批准了这一计划。它还对EH216-S进行了结构分析和碰撞测试,并检查了它在一个旋翼故障的情况下保持飞行的能力。监管机构还检查了亿航用于将其飞行出租车与地面控制中心连接起来的无线网络。如果出现问题,备用飞行员可以通过遥控让飞机降落。)可知,第三段主要讲的是EH216-S是如何获得批准的。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“EHang has ambitions beyond China, too. The firm’s closest competitors are Volocopter, a German company, and a pair of Californian firms, Joby Aviation and Archer Aviation. All three are conducting test flights of piloted eVTOLs of various designs.”(亿航在中国以外也有野心。该公司最接近的竞争对手是德国的Volocopter公司,以及加州的两家公司Joby Aviation和Archer Aviation。这三家公司都在进行各种设计的有人驾驶电动工具的试飞。)可知,从最后一段我们能推断出亿航未来拓展市场可能面临挑战。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文和文章的写作风格可知,文章主要介绍了10月13日,中国民用航空局(CAAC)为世界上第一架电动垂直起降(eVTOL)出租车颁发了“型号证书”,这是一项至关重要的航空文书,空中出租车有望成为现实,文章最可能来自报纸的专栏。故选C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。
How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice. ____16____ Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.
To study “jumping”, we examined decision-making patterns among more than 600 people from the general population. We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. ____17____ In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did – even when their answers were wrong.
So what is behind “jumping”? Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts. ____18____ It is the controlled system that helps people avoid mental biases introduced by the automatic system. As a result, jumpers were more likely to accept the conclusions made at first blush without further questioning. A lack of controlled thinking is also more broadly connected to their problematic beliefs and faulty reasoning.
____19____ A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. In this training, participants are confronted with their own biases. They can learn about the missteps and other ways of thinking through the problem at hand. It helps to chip away at participants’ overconfidence.
In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts is a frequent and important one. ____20____ Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.
A. Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.
B. Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.
C. But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions.
D. It is certainly possible for them to overthink things to take a decision.
E. We plan to continue the work to trace other problems introduced by jumping.
F. The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers.
G. Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.
【答案】16. C 17. B 18. F 19. A 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是相较于按照直觉行事,深思熟虑对我们更有帮助,一种叫元认知训练的方法可以帮助那些急于得出结论的人。
【16题详解】
根据空前的“How much time do you spend doing research before you make a decision? There are people who go over every detail exhaustively before making a choice.(你在做决定之前花了多少时间做研究?有些人在做出选择之前会仔细考虑每一个细节。)”可知,有些人在作出选择前会仔细考虑每个细节,空后的“Psychologists call this way of thinking a cognitive bias (偏见), a tendency toward a specific mental mistake.(心理学家称这种思维方式为认知偏差(cognitive bias),即倾向于某种特定的心理错误。)”可知,心理学家指出这种思维方式为认知偏差,与空前提到的做选择前考虑每个细节的人不同,由此可知,此空处应提到有认知偏差的人,C选项“But a fair number of individuals are quick to jump to conclusions. (但相当一部分人很快就会得出结论)”讲述的是一些很快得出结论的一部分人,呼应上文仔细考虑每一个细节的人,与空前的内容为转折关系,符合逻辑,but为解题的关键信息。故选C项。
【17题详解】
根据空前的“We found that jumpers made more errors than non-jumpers on problems that require thoughtful analysis. (我们发现,在需要深思熟虑分析的问题上,急于得出结论的人比仔细思考的人犯的错误更多。)”可知,研究发现急于得出结论的人比仔细思考的人犯的错误更多,结合空后的“In a quiz about US civics, they overestimated the chance that their answers were right much more than other participants did – even when their answers were wrong. (在一次关于美国公民的测验中,他们大大高估了自己答案正确的几率——即使他们的答案是错误的。)”可推知,急于得出结论的人不仅容易犯错,而且还大大高估自己答案的正确几率,由此可知,此空处应是讲述急于得出结论的人的过于自信,B选项“Also, jumpers had problems with overconfidence.(此外,急于得出结论的人也有过度自信的问题)”中的also可知,此处继续讲述急于得出结论的人的问题,符合题意,呈上启下。故选B项。
【18题详解】
根据空前的“Psychological researchers commonly distinguish between two pathways of thought: automatic system, which reflects ideas that come to the mind easily, spontaneously and without effort, and controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning. Jumpers and non-jumpers are equally influenced by automatic thoughts.(心理学研究人员通常将思维分为两种途径:一种是自动系统,它反映了头脑中容易、自发和不需要努力的想法;另一种是控制系统,包括有意识和努力的推理。)”可知,两类人都受到自动思维的影响,但因为是两种不同的人,因此他们在受影响的程度,或思维模式方面可能有所不同,F选项“The jumpers, however, did not engage in controlled reasoning to the same degree as non-jumpers. (然而,急于得出结论的人并没有像仔细思考者那样进行控制推理。)”中的controlled reasoning与空前的“controlled system including conscious and effortful reasoning”内容相关,符合题意,承接上文,指出了他们的不同之处,且与空前的内容为转折关系,其中的however也是解题的关键信息。故选F项。
【19题详解】
根据空后的“A method called metacognitive training can be used to target their biases, which can help people think more deliberatively. (一种叫做元认知训练的方法可以用来针对他们的偏见,这可以帮助人们更慎重地思考。)”可知,一种叫做元认知训练可以帮助人们更慎重地思考,有方法帮助急于得出结论的人克服他们的问题,由此可知,本段讲述的内容与上文中讲述的急于得出结论的人的问题不同,讲述的是解决急于得出结论的人问题的方法,A选项“Happily, there may be some hope for jumpers.(令人高兴的是,急于得出结论的人或许还有一线希望。)”讲述的内容把话题从上文讲述的急于得出结论的人的问题分析过渡到下文中讲述的解决急于得出结论的人问题的方法,符合题意。故选A项。
【20题详解】
根据空前的“In everyday life, the question of whether we should think things through or instead go with our guts is a frequent and important one.(在日常生活中,我们是应该把事情想清楚,还是应该凭直觉做事,这是一个经常出现的重要问题。)”可知,我们在日常生活中经常考虑是把事情想清楚还是凭直觉做事情,结合空后的“Sometimes the most important decision we make can be to take some more time before making a choice.(有时候,我们做的最重要的决定可能是在做出选择之前多花点时间。)”可知,相较于按照直觉行事,深思熟虑对我们更有帮助,由此可知,此空处应是说明我们在作出决定的时候是采取按照直觉还是深思熟虑,G选项“Recent studies show that even gathering just a little bit more evidence may help us avoid a major mistake.(最近的研究表明,即使多收集一点证据,也可能帮助我们避免犯重大错误。)”通过研究发现的结论来说明,在作出决定前,深思熟虑会让我们避免重大错误,与空前的内容衔接,且与空后的内容吻合,符合题意。故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了诗歌的发展历程、著名代表人物等内容。
【36题详解】
考查状语从句。句意:这些诗没有像其他文化的早期诗歌那样赞美神灵和英雄,而是表达了农民的日常生活:他们的悲伤和快乐、职业和庆祝活动。前后分句是比较,且此处需要从属连词as (像……一样)引导比较状语从句。故填as。
【37题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这些诗没有像其他文化的早期诗歌那样赞美神灵和英雄,而是表达了农民的日常生活:他们的悲伤和快乐、职业和庆祝活动。结合前后复数名词sorrows and joys和festivities可知,用可数名词occupation的复数形式表泛指,表不止一个职业。故填occupations。
【38题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:屈原创作了楚辞,开创了中国古典诗歌的独特形式。泛指一种独特形式,unique以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。

【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:诗歌的鼎盛时期,就像许多其他中国艺术形式一样,出现在唐朝(618-907)。结合句意,用介词like (像)。故填like。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:“诗仙”李白(701-762)和“诗圣”杜甫(712-770)是中国诗歌的两大巅峰。因描述的是客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语是复数,be动词使用are。故填are。
【43题详解】
考查连词或让步状语从句。句意:在宋代(960-1279),五言诗、七言诗和其他古典形式的诗歌通常被认为有点低劣,然而词却蓬勃发展或尽管五言诗、七言诗和其他古典形式的诗歌通常被认为有点低劣,但词却蓬勃发展。前后两句表对比,用并列连词while (然而);或前后两句表让步,用从属连词though/although (尽管)。故填while/though/although。
【44题详解】
考查定语从句关系词。句意:寡妇、离婚妇女或其他与丈夫分离的人的悲伤是词发展初期的主题。该空引导限制性定语从句,先行词是others,指人,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,用关系代词who/that。故填who或that。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着时间的推移,主题随着社会的变化而变得越来越多样化。修饰形容词diverse,用副词increasingly,作状语。故填increasingly。

47. 阅读下而材料,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。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane’s dream to be a singer on the stage. At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me.
It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
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。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself.
When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.
