Whether you’re seeking history, adventure, or relaxation, these four destinations provide something for everyone, making Qatar a must-visit destination in the Middle East.

Just moving into a new community and restoring a new house meant little time for anything else. And then Paul showed up. Paul, at the age of 82, had recently lost his wife but carried on with a generous spirit. He crossed the street, ladder in hand, to introduce himself to his new neighbors and offer his services in their home improvement endeavors. Sharaine remembers, “Our biggest fear moving into a new neighborhood was what if the new neighbors don’t like us? We have a lot of kids; they make a lot of noise...” But those fears were quickly put to rest. Paul likes children very much and quickly becomes a regular at home. Paul makes sure the kids cross the street safely after school, is the judge of tricycle races, sits on the porch helping with homework and pulls out his artificial teeth as a reminder to the little ones to brush their teeth. The presence of elders can greatly enhance a child’s ability to cope with life’s challenges. Grandparents like Paul provide stability, affection, encouragement, and a sense of duty to the young ones under their wing. Despite living alone, Paul never feels isolated; he is far too preoccupied playing the role of a loving grandpa. “We are incredibly lucky to have met such a wonderful neighbor. The kids rush towards him as if he were their own grandpa,” says Sharaine, and indeed, Paul’s calendar stays full. Celebrating birthdays, working on home projects, attending neighborhood barbecues, and engaging in other family activities keep him busy. Simple pleasures like reading, pulling weeds, strolling (散步) slowly as clouds drift across the sky, occasionally blocking the sun — these are the essence of life. And it takes a grandpa like Paul to slow down time, allowing one to truly appreciate the beauty of these moments. 4. What initially concerned Sharaine and Wilson about moving to Rhode Island? A. Not finding a proper house. B. How to repair a new house. C. Not making time for their family. D. Whether to be accepted by new neighbors. 5. What role does Paul play in the children’s lives? A. He teaches them to brush their teeth. B. He helps them with their housework. C. He involves in their daily activities. D. He educates them when they misbehave. 6. Which of the following can best describe Paul? A. Quiet and lonely. B. Indifferent and odd. C. Optimistic and spirited. D. Energetic and adventurous. 7. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Paul’s role in the community. B. The challenges of Paul’s neighbors. C. The improvement in home services. D. The relationship between Paul and kids. C If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” (as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services) because they seem “too good to be true”. The research bridges economics and psychology to explain why financial attraction can backfire. In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely, compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. Vonasch, a psychological scientist at University of Canterbury in New Zealand. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other cases. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, incredibly high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain threshold (门槛), higher financial profit reduced participants’ potential of accepting the offer. If someone seems to go against accepted norms such as self-interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist studying decision-making at England’s University of Reading. “The old saying ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.” Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to alleviate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” 8. What does the underlined word “backfire” in Para. 1 mean? A. Result in an opposite effect. B. Boost the success of an offer. C. Increase the appeal of a proposal. D. Cause a positive outcome unexpectedly. 9. Why is the quote “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” mentioned by the author? A. To prove the phantom costs. B. To promote generosity in society. C To doubt hidden costs of generous offers. D. To remind people to be cautious of free items. 10. What helps make the “cheap flights” more acceptable according to the experiment? A. Offering more flight credits. B. Discounting the price further. C. Providing additional unrelated gifts. D. Giving a seemingly reasonable explanation. 11. Which could be the best title for the text? A. Why People Embrace High-Value Offers B. Why People Reject Free Money and Offers C. Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be True D. How Offers of Money Increase Acceptance Rates D That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night, they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it since performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 12 What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people. B. What role it has played in evolution. C. What circumstances may trigger it. D. In what way it can be beneficial. 13. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research? A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns. 14. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment? A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli. D. She compared the responses of different participants. 15. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment? A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat. C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps. D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most Americans eat ultraprocessed (深加工的) foods every day.

A flash of lightning cut through the sky, followed by a thunderous boom that seemed to split the night. The sound of the storm kept reminding Tom of how unpredictable life could be. When Tom attended school, he had dreamed of becoming a doctor to help others. But life took an unexpected turn. His mother was seriously ill. To take care of her and pay for her medical expenses, he had to give up his dream and worked at the cafe during the night shift. Every night, as he served customers and cleaned up, he couldn’t help but wonder what life would have been like if his mother hadn’t fallen ill. As Tom was seated behind the counter lost in thought about his life’s unexpected turns, suddenly a loud crash broke the silence of the night. Driven by curiosity or perhaps a sense of urgency, Tom rushed out of the cafe with an umbrella. There, in the dim light cast by the cafe’s sign, he found a middle-aged man lying on the wet ground nearby with a motorcycle lying next to him, its engine silent. Tom approached cautiously. The man was struggling to move, his face twisted in pain. Mud and rainwater stained his clothes, and one of his ankles appeared to be injured. Tom quickly helped the man sit up and leaned him against the cafe wall for support. “Sir, are you okay?” Tom asked, his voice steady but filled with concern. The man groaned (呻吟) as his hand wrapped tightly around his ankle. “I think I twisted it in the fall,” he managed to say through gritted (咬紧的) teeth. The rain continued to pour, making the situation even more miserable. Tom knew the poor man needed help and that he had to act fast. 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。 Putting the umbrella in the man’s hand, Tom dashed back to the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Tom received a card and a cheque from the man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 广州市第65中学2024-2025学年第二学期期中考试 高二英语 说明：本试卷选择题65分，非选择题65分，满分130分；选择题请用2B铅笔填涂，主观题 请用黑色的签字笔或钢笔于答卷上作答；考试时间120分钟。 第一部分：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A 、B 、C 、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A Qatar offers a diverse mix of attractions, from peaceful nature spots to lively city centers.

Sharaine remembers, “Our biggest fear moving into a new neighborhood was what if the new neighbors don’t like us?

Paul makes sure the kids cross the street safely after school, is the judge of tricycle races, sits on the porch helping with homework and pulls out his artificial teeth as a reminder to the little ones to brush their teeth. The presence of elders can greatly enhance a child’s ability to cope with life’s challenges. Grandparents like Paul provide stability, affection, encouragement, and a sense of duty to the young ones under their wing.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了人们为何倾向于拒绝看似“好得令人难以置信”的免费或高价值提议，一项研究结合心理学和经济学，解释了这种心理现象，表明原因在于人们认为这些提议可能隐藏着未知的成本或风险。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” (as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services) because they seem “too good to be true”. (在《人格与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”（以及异常高的薪水或可疑的廉价服务），因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”)”提到超出预期的绝好提议往往会被拒绝，这与人们通常趋利的倾向相反。由此可知，该研究解释的是为什么经济吸引力可能适得其反，画线词意思应该是“Result in an opposite effect (导致相反的效果)”。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。第三段“If someone seems to go against accepted norms such as self-interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”. (如果某人似乎毫无缘由地违背了自我利益等公认的准则，我们就会认为他们有隐藏的动机，并推断出会有“幽灵成本”：一些想象出来的后果，可能会减少Vonasch称一项提议的“心理价值”)”用“幽灵成本”的概念解释了为什么人们往往会拒绝看似过度慷慨的东西，再结合第四段中“The old saying ‘there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well. (“天下没有免费的午餐”这句老话显然很有道理)”可知，作者肯定了这句谚语的意义，进一步强调看似免费的东西实际上可能存在隐藏的风险，证明了“幽灵成本”的存在。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” (“不舒服的座位通常不是卖点，”Vonasch说。“但告诉人们座位不舒服会让他们更愿意坐，因为这是一个充分的解释。”)”可知，给出一个看似合理的解释有助于让人们更容易接受“廉价航班”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you $2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.” (如果一个陌生人给你一块免费的饼干，你很可能会吃掉它。但如果他们还愿意给你2美元呢？你可能会礼貌地拒绝，然后走开，心想：“有东西闻起来很可疑。”)”可知，文章围绕人们倾向于拒绝看似“好得令人难以置信”的免费或高价值提议这一现象展开，介绍了一项结合心理学和经济学的研究，该研究解释了这种心理现象，表明原因在于人们认为这些提议可能隐藏着未知的成本或风险。因此，C项“为什么有些交易看起来好得令人难以置信”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D That people often experience trouble sleeping in a different bed in unfamiliar surroundings is a phenomenon known as the “first-night” effect. If a person stays in the same room the following night, they tend to sleep more soundly. Yuka Sasaki and her colleagues at Brown University set out to investigate the origins of this effect. Dr. Sasaki knew the first-night effect probably has something to do with how humans evolved. The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it since performance might be affected the following day. She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing. To take a closer look, her team studied 35 healthy people as they slept in the unfamiliar environment of the university’s Department of Psychological Sciences. The participants each slept in the department for two nights and were carefully monitored with techniques that looked at the activity of their brains. Dr. Sasaki found, as expected, the participants slept less well on their first night than they did on their second, taking more than twice as long to fall asleep and sleeping less overall. During deep sleep, the participants’ brains behaved in a similar manner seen in birds and dolphins. On the first night only, the left hemispheres of their brains did not sleep nearly as deeply as their right hemispheres did. Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night. She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found. 12. What did researchers find puzzling about the first-night effect? A. To what extent it can trouble people. B. What role it has played in evolution. C. What circumstances may trigger it. D. In what way it can be beneficial. 13. What do we learn about Dr. Yuka Sasaki doing her research? A. She found birds and dolphins remain alert while asleep. B. She found birds and dolphins sleep in much the same way. C. She got some idea from previous studies on birds and dolphins D. She conducted studies on birds’ and dolphins’ sleeping patterns. 14. What did Dr. Sasaki do when re-running her experiment? A. She analyzed the negative effect of irregular tones on brains. B. She recorded participants’ adaptation to changed environment. C. She exposed her participants to two different stimuli. D. She compared the responses of different participants. 15. What did Dr. Sasaki find about the participants in her experiment? A. They tended to enjoy certain tones more than others. B. They tended to perceive irregular beeps as a threat. C. They felt sleepy when exposed to regular beeps. D. They differed in their tolerance of irregular tones. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了首夜效应的现象、起源及科学家的相关研究。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“The puzzle was what benefit would be gained from it since performance might be affected the following day.(这个难题在于从中能获得什么好处，因为第二天的表现可能会受到影响)”可知，研究者困惑于首夜效应有何益处。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“She also knew from previous work conducted on birds and dolphins that these animals put half of their brains to sleep at a time so that they can rest while remaining alert enough to avoid predators. This led her to wonder if people might be doing the same thing.(她还从之前对鸟类和海豚的研究中了解到，这些动物一次让一半的大脑进入睡眠状态，这样它们就可以休息，同时保持足够的警觉以躲避捕食者。这让她怀疑人们是否也在做同样的事情)”可知，Dr. Yuka Sasaki从之前关于鸟类和海豚的研究中得到了一些启发。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Curious if the left hemispheres were indeed remaining awake to process information detected in the surrounding environment, Dr. Sasaki re-ran the experiment while presenting the sleeping participants with a mix of regularly timed beeps (蜂鸣声) of the same tone and irregular beeps of a different tone during the night.(为了验证左脑半球是否确实保持清醒以处理周围环境中检测到的信息，Sasaki博士在实验中再次对睡眠中的参与者播放了一整夜的蜂鸣声，其中包括规律性的同音调蜂鸣声和不规则的不同音调的蜂鸣声)”可知，Sasaki博士在重新进行实验时，给睡眠中的参与者同时呈现了两种不同的刺激——规律性的蜂鸣声和不规律性的蜂鸣声。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“She worked out that, if the left hemisphere was staying alert to keep guard in a strange environment, then it would react to the irregular beeps by stirring people from sleep and would ignore the regularly timed ones. This is precisely what she found.(她推断出，如果左脑半球在陌生的环境中保持警觉以守卫，那么它会对不规则的蜂鸣声作出反应，把人们从睡梦中惊醒，而忽略那些规律性的蜂鸣声。这正是她所发现的现象)”可知，Sasaki博士发现参与者在听到不规律性的蜂鸣声时会被唤醒，这表明他们倾向于将不规律性的蜂鸣声视为威胁。故选B。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Most Americans eat ultraprocessed (深加工的) foods every day.

A flash of lightning cut through the sky, followed by a thunderous boom that seemed to split the night. The sound of the storm kept reminding Tom of how unpredictable life could be. When Tom attended school, he had dreamed of becoming a doctor to help others. But life took an unexpected turn. His mother was seriously ill. To take care of her and pay for her medical expenses, he had to give up his dream and worked at the cafe during the night shift. Every night, as he served customers and cleaned up, he couldn’t help but wonder what life would have been like if his mother hadn’t fallen ill. As Tom was seated behind the counter, lost in thought about his life’s unexpected turns, suddenly a loud crash broke the silence of the night. Driven by curiosity or perhaps a sense of urgency, Tom rushed out of the cafe with an umbrella. There, in the dim light cast by the cafe’s sign, he found a middle-aged man lying on the wet ground nearby with a motorcycle lying next to him, its engine silent. Tom approached cautiously. The man was struggling to move, his face twisted in pain. Mud and rainwater stained his clothes, and one of his ankles appeared to be injured. Tom quickly helped the man sit up and leaned him against the cafe wall for support. “Sir, are you okay?” Tom asked, his voice steady but filled with concern. The man groaned (呻吟) as his hand wrapped tightly around his ankle. “I think I twisted it in the fall,” he managed to say through gritted (咬紧的) teeth. The rain continued to pour, making the situation even more miserable. Tom knew the poor man needed help and that he had to act fast. 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。 Putting the umbrella in the man’s hand, Tom dashed back to the cafe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two days later, Tom received a card and a cheque from the man. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Putting the umbrella in the man’s hand, Tom dashed back to the cafe. He made an emergency call, providing the exact location of the accident and briefly describing the man’s situation. Then he grabbed an ice bag from the fridge and hurried back into the rain again. Gently, he applied the ice to the man’s swollen ankle, hoping to ease the swelling. To take the man’s mind off his pain, he began sharing stories about his own dream and the unexpected turn in his life. With Tom by his side, the man felt somewhat better. They both breathed a sigh of relief as the ambulance arrived, and the medical team carefully transported the man to safety. Two days later, Tom received a card and a cheque from the man. Inside the card, the man wrote, “Thank you for your kindness and help. Hope the money can help you pursue your dream.” Holding the cheque in his hand, Tom felt tears of gratitude and joy welling up in his eyes. Never had he expected that his small act of kindness would bring him such an unexpected blessing. Through the experience, he came to understand that life is a journey filled with unexpected turns, but as long as you don’t give up, it will eventually lead to your destination. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Tom在路边小咖啡馆夜班时遇暴雨，想起为照顾病重母亲放弃医生梦。突然听到撞车声，发现一中年男子受伤倒地，汤姆上前救助。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“Tom把伞放在那人手里，冲回咖啡馆。”可知，本段将描写Tom回到咖啡馆后采取的一系列紧急救助措施，包括拨打急救电话、为伤者冰敷以及陪伴伤者等待救援。 ②由第二段首句“两天后，Tom收到了那人寄来的一张卡片和一张支票。”可知，本段将讲述Tom收到被救男子的感谢信和支票，以及他对此的感受和领悟。 2.续写线索：Tom回咖啡馆——拨打急救电话——取冰袋为伤者冰敷——陪伴伤者等待救援——收到感谢信和支票——Tom感到意外和感激——领悟生活哲理 3.词汇激活： 行为类： ①拨打紧急电话：make an emergency call/dial the emergency number ②描写：describe/depict ③追求：pursue/chase/go after ④预期：expect/anticipate 情绪类： ①宽慰：relief/ease ②感激：gratitude/thankfulness ③喜悦：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] He made an emergency call, providing the exact location of the accident and briefly describing the man’s situation.(运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语) [高分句型2] Never had he expected that his small act of kindness would bring him such an unexpected blessing.(运用了部分倒装句和连词that引导宾语从句) [高分句型3] Through the experience, he came to understand that life is a journey filled with unexpected turns, but as long as you don’t give up, it will eventually lead to your destination.(运用了连词that引导宾语从句和as long as引导条件状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
