She had zero coding (编码) knowledge, no marketing experience, and no funding. What she did have, however, was dissatisfaction with just how much good food winds up in the rubbish — about 30 percent of global production. Food waste happens all along the supply chain, but another thing Basch did not have was specialized expertise in agriculture or mass production. So she focused on what she knew — the bakeries, restaurants, and grocery stores typically threw out their items left over at the end of the day. If someone could connect that supply with needy eaters, the food could instead be sold at a sharp discount. The result would be a three-way win, with businesses earning bonus income, consumers getting exceptionally cheap meals, and food being redirected from landfills. Basch, living in Norway at the time, hit the streets with flyers and sign-up sheets, persuading business owners to adopt an app that did not yet exist. “I made them the promise that it’s going to be as simple as throwing food away, but instead of putting it into a big garbage bag, you’re going to divide it into different bags,” Basch explained in her office in Paris. Before long, she linked up with a group of like-minded Danish professionals with the coding knowledge to make the app she had been promoting a reality, which was named “Too Good to Go”. Today, Too Good to Go is the world’s largest marketplace for leftover food, operating in 19 countries with more than a hundred million registered users. It is also a certified eco-friendly company. 4. Why did Lucie Basch make up her mind to develop the app? A. To launch a promising career. B. To establish a food supply chain. C. To address a severe food issue. D. To pick up some coding knowledge. 5. What did Basch plan to do? A. Recycle food waste from landfills. B. Give business owners bonus income. C. Make remains available to the needy. D. Convince stores to offer a big discount. 6. How did Basch influence business owners? A. By persuading them to use flyers. B. By promising them financial benefits. C. By asking them to put wasted food into a bag. D. By requesting them to sort and bag the left food. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Learning to build an app? Consult Coding Experts B. Wanting Discounted Foods? Shop at the End of Day C. Aiming to Dominate Market? Follow Basch’s Success D. Emptying Your Leftover Food? Turn to Too Good to Go 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了露西・巴施开发一款名为“Too Good to Go”的应用程序减少食物浪费，如今该应用已成为全球最大的剩余食物交易平台。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“What she did have, however, was dissatisfaction with just how much good food winds up in the rubbish — about 30 percent of global production. (然而，她所不满的是，竟然有如此多的优质食物最终被扔进了垃圾桶——约占全球产量的30%。)”可知，露西・巴施决心开发这款应用程序是因为她对大量食物被浪费感到不满，即想要解决严重的食物浪费问题。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段后两句“If someone could connect that supply with needy eaters, the food could instead be sold at a sharp discount. The result would be a three-way win, with businesses earning bonus income, consumers getting exceptionally cheap meals, and food being redirected from landfills. (如果有人能将这些食品供应与有需求的食客联系起来，那么这些食品就可以大幅降价出售。结果将是三方共赢，企业获得额外收入，消费者能买到极其便宜的食物，同时食品也不会被送去填埋。)”可知，巴施计划将商家剩余的食物提供给有需求的人。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。细节理解题。根据第三段第二句““I made them the promise that it’s going to be as simple as throwing food away, but instead of putting it into a big garbage bag, you’re going to divide it into different bags,” Basch explained in her office in Paris.(“我向他们承诺，这将和扔掉食物一样简单，但不是把食物放进一个大垃圾袋里，而是要把它分成不同的袋子，”Basch在她位于巴黎的办公室解释道。)”可知，Basch通过要求企业主对剩余食物进行分类装袋来影响他们。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。纵览全文可知，本文主要讲述了露西・巴施开发“Too Good to Go”应用程序来减少食物浪费，将剩余食物与有需求的人联系起来，D选项“Emptying Your Leftover Food? Turn to Too Good to Go (处理剩余食物？求助于“TooGoodtoGo”)”既体现了应用程序的功能，又契合文章主题，适合用作标题。故选D项。 C Like many adults these days, I struggle to find time to really immerse myself in a book. I often attend my book club without quite having finished the month’s selection. But some members, who have equally busy lives, manage to finish every book on time. They count on audiobooks, listening to them in the interstitial (空隙的) spaces of life. Despite the popularity of audiobooks, I’ve just never felt it necessary to go in that direction. After reading printed books for so long, I worry that listening to audiobooks would feel way outside my comfort zone. But does reading facilitate (促进) greater comprehension than listening to books? Beth Rogowsky, an associate professor of education, sought to investigate this inquiry in a recent study. Her team randomly assigned adult volunteers to three groups. One listened to excerpts of a non-fiction book about World War II; another read the excerpts from an e-reader; and a third read and listened to the excerpts at the same time. The volunteers then took a comprehension test. Rogowsky saw no significant differences in the scores among the three groups. But Rogowsky notes that her study looked only at the comprehension that resulted when people read and/or listened to the material one time through, not when they tried to study it at a deep level, “If you want to build long-term memory and increase comprehension, it’s all about effort,” she says. Matthew Traxler, a professor of psychology, agrees. “Things are more memorable when you have to work a little bit,” he says. “Listening can be much more passive,” which is readily apparent by how much easier it is to multitask when you tuning to an audiobook. You might set out to wash dishes and decide you might as well listen to your audiobook in the meantime, but when you read, even if you’re also, say, listening to music, reading is “really your primary task”. Different media might also be better-suited to different genres. For narrative texts, like novels, whether you read or listen to the book probably doesn’t matter all that much. But for technical texts, “the average person is better off with printed information,” Traxler says. 8. What does the author worry about? A. He might be too busy to read books. B. More people will turn to audiobooks. C. More people will not attend book clubs. D. He might not adapt to audiobooks. 9. In which aspect were the three groups mentioned in Paragraph 2 different? A. The way they “read”. B. Their “reading” time. C. The content they “read”. D. Their “reading” environment. 10 What does Traxler agree with? A. People should not read with music on. B. People should not multitask when listening. C. People are more actively involved when reading than listening. D. People can remember more passive information by listening than by reading. 11. What is Traxler’s suggestion in the last paragraph? A. Listening to novels before you read them. B. Spending equal time on reading and listening. C. Writing down important information as you listen. D. Selecting reading media according to text types. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了许多成年人难有时间沉浸读书，有人借助有声书。研究表明，听、读及两者结合的理解效果无显著差异，且不同媒介适合不同类型文本。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“After reading printed books for so long, I worry that listening to audiobooks would feel way outside my comfort zone.(长久以来我都是阅读纸质书籍，所以担心听有声读物会让我感到非常不自在)”可知，作者担心可能无法适应有声读物。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“One listened to excerpts of a non-fiction book about World War II; another read the excerpts from an e-reader; and a third read and listened to the excerpts at the same time.(有人聆听了有关第二次世界大战一本非虚构类书籍的节选内容；另一些则通过电子阅读器阅读了这些节选内容；而第三组则同时阅读和聆听这些节选内容)”可知，他们“阅读”的方式存在差异。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““Listening can be much more passive,” which is readily apparent by how much easier it is to multitask when you tuning to an audiobook. You might set out to wash dishes and decide you might as well listen to your audiobook in the meantime, but when you read, even if you’re also, say, listening to music, reading is “really your primary task”.(“倾听的方式往往更为被动。”这一点从我们在听有声书时能够轻松地同时进行多项任务这一点上就可见一斑。你原本打算洗碗，但随后可能会想到干脆边洗边听有声书算了，但当你阅读时，即便同时也在听音乐，阅读实际上才是你的首要任务)”可知，特拉克斯勒认同人们阅读时的参与度要高于聆听时的参与度。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But for technical texts, “the average person is better off with printed information,” Traxler says.(但就技术类文本而言，特拉克斯勒表示：“对于普通读者而言，阅读印刷版信息会更有益。”)”可知，特拉克斯勒建议根据文本类型选择阅读媒体。故选D。 D Workers, especially “knowledge workers” who can work from anywhere, have been fighting for more control over their time. While working from home in 2020 and 2021, they demonstrated to their bosses that they are able to maintain, or in some cases even increase their productivity while working flexibly. Their bosses, on the other hand, have been pulling them in the opposite direction, fighting to get workers back into the offices. This struggle has led to a significant number of employees quitting or “the Great Resignation”. While these issues have gained attention recently, they are not new. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, resignations have been steadily increasing for more than a decade. Part of the reason for this increase, it seems, is that workers have been contemplating the kinds of lives they want and reflecting on the role they want work to play in their lives. The reality is that people spend a lot of their lives working, and because of that, people’s day-to-day work experiences have a substantial impact on how satisfied they are with their lives. Does having control over their time actually make workers happier and more likely to stay in their jobs? To find out, we analyzed survey data from a wide group of people. We found that those with more control over their time had the highest job satisfaction and overall happiness. In contrast, people who felt they never had enough time reported less satisfaction with both work and life. These findings suggest that job satisfaction relies more on having control over time than on the amount of work done. Employees seek flexibility to better manage their personal and professional lives, such as fitting in exercise. Employers should listen to workers and develop flexible policies, including remote and hybrid (混合的) options. This can lead to more satisfied employees and help companies keep their best talent. Ultimately, when employees feel they have control over their time, they tend to be happier at work and in life. 12. What can we infer about people working from home according to the text? A. They are highly productive. B. They are deeply disturbed. C. They become less efficient. D. They tend to talk in person. 13. What does the author think causes “the Great Resignation”? A. The rapidly changing workplace. B. A conflict between workers and employers. C. The desire to sharpen the soft skills. D. A lack of room available for personal growth. 14. What does the underlined word “contemplating” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tolerating. B. Considering. C. Suspecting. D. Criticizing. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for employers? A. Meet employees’ diverse needs. B. Provide modern workplaces. C. Cut down on their living expenses. D. Employ lower-paid workers. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是研究表明，员工对工作时间的自我支配度越高，越容易在工作中获得满足感。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“While working from home in 2020 and 2021, they demonstrated to their bosses that they are able to maintain, or in some cases even increase their productivity while working flexibly. (在2020年和2021年的在家办公期间，他们向老板证明，他们能够在灵活工作的同时保持、甚至在某些情况下提高生产率。)”可知人们居家办公最有效，故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Their bosses, on the other hand, have been pulling them in the opposite direction, fighting to get workers back into the offices. This struggle has led to a significant number of employees quitting or “the Great Resignation”. (另一方面，他们的老板一直在把他们拉向相反的方向，努力让工人回到办公室。这种斗争导致了大量员工辞职或“大辞职”。)”可知作者认为雇主和员工之间的矛盾引发了大规模的离职潮，故选B项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段最后一句“According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, resignations have been steadily increasing for more than a decade. (根据美国劳工统计局（Bureau of Labor Statistics）的数据，十多年来，辞职人数一直在稳步上升。)”以及划线词之前“Part of the reason for this increase, it seems, is that workers have been (这种增长的部分原因似乎是工人们一直在)”以及划线词之后“the kinds of lives they want and reflecting on the role they want work to play in their lives. (他们想要的生活以及他们想要工作在他们生活中扮演的角色。)”可知工人们自己想要什么样的生活以及他们想要工作在他们生活中扮演什么样的角色是十多年来辞职人数一直在稳步上升的部分原因，由此可推断划线词与B项Considering意思相近，故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Employers should listen to workers and develop flexible policies, including remote and hybrid (混合的) options. (雇主应该听取员工的意见，制定灵活的政策，包括远程和混合选项。)”可知作者建议雇主应该满足员工多样化的需求，故选A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，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。 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. ___16___ But are all online courses created equal?

They face an extreme environment that is very different from ____36____ on Earth, ____37____ (deal) with challenges like no gravity, freezing temperatures, and harmful radiation. These conditions lead to physical phenomenons such as muscle and bone loss, vision changes, and ____38____ (weaken) immune systems. One of the most interesting questions is how space affects DNA. The key point is ____39____ (understand) telomeres (端粒), the “end-parts” of chromosomes (染色体) that protect DNA. Telomeres get ____40____ (short) as we age and ____41____ (link) to diseases like dementia, heart disease, and cancer. Stress, smoking, and unhealthy environments can accelerate this shortening process. A study ____42____ (conduct) during the Spacex Inspiration 4 mission makes this question clearer. Blood samples of the four crew members ____43____ were civilians of different ages and genders, were collected at multiple points before and after their space travel. The results revealed that telomeres were longer during the spaceflight but shortened rapidly once the members returned to Earth. ____44____, at 45 and 82 days after the trip, the telomeres gradually returned to near-normal lengths. The study shows that even short trips into space can affect telomere length. Space has an extreme and dangerous environment. We still don’t fully understand how it impacts human health, _____45_____ (especial) DNA, over the long term. 【答案】36. that 37. dealing 38. weakened 39. to understand 40. shorter 41. are linked 42. conducted 43. who##that 44. However 45. especially 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了宇航员在太空面临的极端环境对人体的影响，尤其是太空环境对DNA端粒长度的作用及相关研究发现。 36题详解】 考查代词。句意：他们面临着与地球上截然不同的极端环境，应对着无重力、低温和有害辐射等挑战。此处无提示词，结合句意，此处应为代词指代前文的environment作宾语，指代不可数名词应使用代词that。故填that。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处为非谓语动词作状语，They（指代astronauts）与deal为主动关系，用现在分词dealing。故填dealing。 【38题详解】 考查形容词。句意：这些条件会导致身体现象，如肌肉和骨骼流失、视力变化和免疫系统减弱。此处修饰名词短语immune systems，用weaken的过去分词转化的形容词weakened，意为“减弱的”符合句意。故填weakened。 【39题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：关键在于理解端粒，即染色体保护DNA的“末端部分”。此处为非谓语动词作表语，结合句意，此处表示发生在谓语动词之后的动作，即将要发生的动作，所以使用动词不定式to understand表示目的或具体内容。故填to understand。 【40题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：随着我们衰老，端粒会变短，并与痴呆、心脏病和癌症等疾病有关。根据句意及下文的“as we age”可知，随着我们衰老，端粒会“变得更短”，所以此处用形容词比较级shorter。故填shorter。 【41题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：同上。此处为谓语动词，描述客观事实，用一般现在时，telomeres与link为被动关系，所以使用一般现在时的被动语态，且主语为名词复数，所以谓语动词为are linked。故填are linked。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在SpaceX“灵感4号”任务期间进行的一项研究使这个问题更加清晰。此处为非谓语动词作定语，study与conduct为被动关系，用过去分词conducted。故填conducted。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：四名机组成员（均为不同年龄和性别的平民）在太空旅行前后的多个时间点采集了血样。此处为关系词引导的定语从句，先行词为crew members，指人，在从句中作主语，用关系代词who或that引导定语从句。故填who/that。 44题详解】 考查副词。句意：然而，在旅行后45天和82天，端粒逐渐恢复到接近正常的长度。根据句意，前后为转折关系，用副词however，句首单词首字母大写。故填However。 【45题详解】 考查副词。句意：我们仍然不完全了解它对人类健康的长期影响，尤其是DNA。此处用副词作状语，especial的副词形式为especially，强调“尤其”。故填especially。 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校将举办英语征文比赛，主题为 “The Most Influential Scientist in My Mind”。请你写一篇征文，内容需包含： 1. 该科学家的主要贡献； 2. 对你个人的影响； 3. 其值得学习的精神品质。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The Most Influential Scientist in My Mind ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The Most Influential Scientist in My Mind Among the numerous brilliant scientists, Yuan Longping shines as the most influential one in my heart.

In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter. We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help. 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。 Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just at that moment, Luella’ family returned in their car. Empathy surged within me as I saw their shock and disbelief. Approaching Luella, I tightly held her hands and said, “I’m so sorry for your loss, but thankfully you’re all right.” She weakly nodded, still puzzled by the shocking scene. My family volunteered to help clean up the mess, cutting down the branches and removing the fallen trees. To lift Luella’s spirits and give her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit. Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’ sorrow for her lost garden. My heart went out to her, knowing how much she had cherished those tulips that she had devoted so much energy to. Determined to restore the beauty of the garden, I suggested we rebuild the garden, which Luella delightedly agreed. Carefully planted and watered, the new tulip seedlings once again filled the garden, which symbolized the beginning of our friendship, as well as the turning that I finally got embraced by this new environment. My mom was right: it’s more blessed to give than to receive because when you give, you may receive something unexpected in return. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者七岁时从墨西哥搬到美国后变得沉默寡言，难以融入新环境。作者家有个种着蔬菜的院子，作者梦想拥有像同学露卢埃拉那样美丽的花园。一场龙卷风袭击了作者所在的街区，卢埃拉家的花园被毁，作者一家决定帮助卢埃拉一家清理废墟，作者也借此机会和卢埃拉成为了亲密朋友，还一起重建花园，最终作者也重新找回了曾经开朗的自己并逐渐融入新环境的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，卢埃拉的家人开着车回来了。”可知，第一段可描写卢埃拉一家看到花园被毁后的反应，作者及家人对他们的安慰，以及大家一起清理废墟的过程，同时要体现作者在这个过程中情绪的变化 ②由第二段首句内容“即使在废墟被清理干净之后，我仍然能感觉到卢埃拉对她失去的花园的悲伤。”可知，第二段可描写作者感受到露埃拉的悲伤后决定采取行动，即提议重建花园，重建花园的过程以及花园重建后带来的意义。 2.续写线索：卢埃拉一家看到花园废墟的反应→作者安慰露埃拉→作者一家帮忙清理废墟→作者在清理过程中恢复开朗→废墟清理后卢埃拉仍悲伤→作者提议重建花园→一起重建花园→花园重建的意义→感悟给予的道理 3.词汇激活 行为类： ① 走近：approach/get close to ② 清理：clean up/clear away ③ 种植：plant/sow ④建议：suggest/recommend 情绪类 ① 震惊：shock/astonishment ② 高兴的：delighted/joyful 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Empathy surged within me as I saw their shock and disbelief.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】To lift Luella’s spirits and give her comfort, I tried my best to cheer her up while tidying the garden with her, during which my own joyful personality seemed to revive a bit.（运用了动词不定式作目的状语，while 引导的时间状语从句以及 “介词 + 关系代词 which” 引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 咸阳市实验中学2024—2025学年第二学期第三次质量检测 高一英语试题 注意事项： 1. 本试题共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理：试题不回收。 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。听力部分结束前，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.

She had zero coding (编码) knowledge, no marketing experience, and no funding. What she did have, however, was dissatisfaction with just how much good food winds up in the rubbish — about 30 percent of global production. Food waste happens all along the supply chain, but another thing Basch did not have was specialized expertise in agriculture or mass production. So she focused on what she knew — the bakeries, restaurants, and grocery stores typically threw out their items left over at the end of the day. If someone could connect that supply with needy eaters, the food could instead be sold at a sharp discount. The result would be a three-way win, with businesses earning bonus income, consumers getting exceptionally cheap meals, and food being redirected from landfills. Basch, living in Norway at the time, hit the streets with flyers and sign-up sheets, persuading business owners to adopt an app that did not yet exist. “I made them the promise that it’s going to be as simple as throwing food away, but instead of putting it into a big garbage bag, you’re going to divide it into different bags,” Basch explained in her office in Paris. Before long, she linked up with a group of like-minded Danish professionals with the coding knowledge to make the app she had been promoting a reality, which was named “Too Good to Go”. Today, Too Good to Go is the world’s largest marketplace for leftover food, operating in 19 countries with more than a hundred million registered users. It is also a certified eco-friendly company. 4 Why did Lucie Basch make up her mind to develop the app? A. To launch a promising career. B. To establish a food supply chain. C. To address a severe food issue. D. To pick up some coding knowledge. 5. What did Basch plan to do? A. Recycle food waste from landfills. B Give business owners bonus income. C. Make remains available to the needy. D. Convince stores to offer a big discount. 6. How did Basch influence business owners? A. By persuading them to use flyers. B. By promising them financial benefits. C. By asking them to put wasted food into a bag. D. By requesting them to sort and bag the left food. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Learning to build an app? Consult Coding Experts B. Wanting Discounted Foods? Shop at the End of Day C. Aiming to Dominate Market? Follow Basch’s Success D. Emptying Your Leftover Food? Turn to Too Good to Go C Like many adults these days, I struggle to find time to really immerse myself in a book. I often attend my book club without quite having finished the month’s selection. But some members, who have equally busy lives, manage to finish every book on time. They count on audiobooks, listening to them in the interstitial (空隙的) spaces of life. Despite the popularity of audiobooks, I’ve just never felt it necessary to go in that direction. After reading printed books for so long, I worry that listening to audiobooks would feel way outside my comfort zone. But does reading facilitate (促进) greater comprehension than listening to books? Beth Rogowsky, an associate professor of education, sought to investigate this inquiry in a recent study. Her team randomly assigned adult volunteers to three groups. One listened to excerpts of a non-fiction book about World War II; another read the excerpts from an e-reader; and a third read and listened to the excerpts at the same time. The volunteers then took a comprehension test. Rogowsky saw no significant differences in the scores among the three groups. But Rogowsky notes that her study looked only at the comprehension that resulted when people read and/or listened to the material one time through, not when they tried to study it at a deep level, “If you want to build long-term memory and increase comprehension, it’s all about effort,” she says. Matthew Traxler, a professor of psychology, agrees. “Things are more memorable when you have to work a little bit,” he says. “Listening can be much more passive,” which is readily apparent by how much easier it is to multitask when you tuning to an audiobook. You might set out to wash dishes and decide you might as well listen to your audiobook in the meantime, but when you read, even if you’re also, say, listening to music, reading is “really your primary task”. Different media might also be better-suited to different genres. For narrative texts, like novels, whether you read or listen to the book probably doesn’t matter all that much. But for technical texts, “the average person is better off with printed information,” Traxler says. 8. What does the author worry about? A. He might be too busy to read books. B. More people will turn to audiobooks. C. More people will not attend book clubs. D. He might not adapt to audiobooks. 9. In which aspect were the three groups mentioned in Paragraph 2 different? A. The way they “read”. B. Their “reading” time. C. The content they “read”. D. Their “reading” environment. 10. What does Traxler agree with? A. People should not read with music on. B. People should not multitask when listening. C. People are more actively involved when reading than listening. D. People can remember more passive information by listening than by reading. 11.

D. Selecting reading media according to text types. D Workers, especially “knowledge workers” who can work from anywhere, have been fighting for more control over their time. While working from home in 2020 and 2021, they demonstrated to their bosses that they are able to maintain, or in some cases even increase their productivity while working flexibly. Their bosses, on the other hand, have been pulling them in the opposite direction, fighting to get workers back into the offices. This struggle has led to a significant number of employees quitting or “the Great Resignation”. While these issues have gained attention recently, they are not new. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, resignations have been steadily increasing for more than a decade. Part of the reason for this increase, it seems, is that workers have been contemplating the kinds of lives they want and reflecting on the role they want work to play in their lives. The reality is that people spend a lot of their lives working, and because of that, people’s day-to-day work experiences have a substantial impact on how satisfied they are with their lives. Does having control over their time actually make workers happier and more likely to stay in their jobs? To find out, we analyzed survey data from a wide group of people. We found that those with more control over their time had the highest job satisfaction and overall happiness. In contrast, people who felt they never had enough time reported less satisfaction with both work and life. These findings suggest that job satisfaction relies more on having control over time than on the amount of work done. Employees seek flexibility to better manage their personal and professional lives, such as fitting in exercise. Employers should listen to workers and develop flexible policies, including remote and hybrid (混合的) options. This can lead to more satisfied employees and help companies keep their best talent. Ultimately, when employees feel they have control over their time, they tend to be happier at work and in life. 12. What can we infer about people working from home according to the text? A. They are highly productive. B. They are deeply disturbed. C. They become less efficient. D. They tend to talk in person. 13. What does the author think causes “the Great Resignation”? A. The rapidly changing workplace. B. A conflict between workers and employers. C. The desire to sharpen the soft skills. D. A lack of room available for personal growth. 14. What does the underlined word “contemplating” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Tolerating. B. Considering. C. Suspecting. D. Criticizing. 15. What is the author’s suggestion for employers? A. Meet employees’ diverse needs. B. Provide modern workplaces. C. Cut down on their living expenses. D. Employ lower-paid workers. 第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，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。 In the past few years, online learning has become a significant part of the university and college experience. ___16___ But are all online courses created equal?

In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter. We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility. While I took pride in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s, with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each other. It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends. The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel (漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom, knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed and that our house had remained undamaged. As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it. Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine how heartbroken they must feel seeing this. Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started to think about how we could help. 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。 Just at that moment, Luella’s family returned in their car. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even after the debris was cleared, I could still sense Luella’s sorrow for her lost garden. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
