As his father, I’ve watched Ken patrol (巡逻) the area with his trusty (可靠的) trash picker and gloves, picking up whatever litter (垃圾) caught his eye, rain or shine. This all started after we visited a beach. Ken said he felt bad for Earth. The next day, he woke up and asked to go back to the beach. What surprised me was that Ken said he wanted to clean it. We compromised (折中) and went to a park instead. That day, Ken also cleaned the streets on the way to and from the park. When I asked Ken, “What do you want to do tomorrow?” he replied, “Can we go to a different park?” I couldn’t refuse him. I said, “Well, we could clean the schools” and that’s what we did. He’s really crazy about this cleaning mission (任务) and I’m not going to discourage him. In just one week, Ken has cleaned every park, school and public space we could get to in our community. Even when we went for a simple afternoon walk, Ken tagged along (跟随) with his bucket, cleaning the streets as we went. It seems that cleaning has become second nature to him and litter is the trigger (诱因) . When he said he wanted to do this every day over the summer, we didn’t realize how serious he was. But he wouldn’t stop it, and my wife and I are proud of him even though he’s just doing something as simple as picking up trash. It amazes me that at 6-and-a-half years old, he made the decision to achieve something, all on his own. 6. Why did Ken decide to pick up litter? A. Because his father asked him to do so. B. Because he felt sorry for the Earth. C. Because he wanted to play in the sand. D. Because his school gave him a mission. 7.

He was interested in it. D. He advised Ken to give up. 10. What’s the best title for the text? A. Proud Parents. B. Dirty Beaches. C. Litter Boy. D. Clean Parks. 【答案】6. B 7. A 8. C 9. A 10.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a number of these people and learned a bit about how they think. Believe it or not, their lying makes some sense when you look at it through their eyes. The lie might not seem important to you, but it matters a lot to them. They think it’s a big deal. They might be putting too much pressure on themselves or the situation. To some people, telling the truth can feel like giving up control. Often, people want things to go their way. The truth might not fit their plan, so they avoid it. Or they just don’t want to disappoint (使失望) you. Even though it might not seem like it, people who lie a lot are often worried about losing the respect of those around them. They fear that the truth could make you turn away from them. However, lies can grow. One small lie leads to more lies to cover it up. If the liars admit to (承认) any single lie, they feel like they’re admitting to being a liar, and that’s scary. At other times, it’s not a lie to them. They might truly believe their lies at that moment. Studies show that many things influence our memories. Stress, current (当前的) events and their desire (愿望) for things to go well can make them remember things differently. Moreover, liars want their lies to be true. Sometimes, they hope that they can make something come true by saying it over and over again. Most people are honest most of the time. Even if some people lie more, they’re usually honest. Instead of asking why they lie, try to understand why the situation is so important to them. Showing empathy (同理心) and praising honesty can encourage more truth-telling. Being honest is important, and helping others be honest is also a good thing. 11. According to the passage, what may happen after someone tells a small lie? A. They forget it quickly. B. They need to tell more lies to cover it. C. Everyone will believe them. D. They feel very happy. 12. According to the passage, what can influence people’s memories? ①Stress ②Their desire ③ Current events ④ Others’ opinions A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 13. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people lie? A. They want things to go their way and lie to avoid the truth. B. They are afraid of losing respect. C. They feel scared about admitting to being a liar, so they tell more lies to cover another. D. They like to control others by telling lies. 14. What can we infer from the passage? A. People who lie don’t care about others’ opinions. B. Once people start lying, they will never stop. C. Understanding the reasons for lying may help reduce it. D. Everyone lies often in their daily life. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why people lie and how to help them. B. Why lying is always bad. C. How to be an honest person. D. How to catch liars. 【答案】11. B 12. A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要探讨了人们说谎的原因（如习惯、压力、害怕失去尊重等）和如何帮助他们更诚实（如理解、展示同理心）。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“However, lies can grow. One small lie leads to more lies to cover it up.”可知，然而，谎言会越说越大。一个小小的谎言会导致更多的谎言来掩盖它。故选B。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Studies show that many things influence our memories. Stress, current (当前的) events and their desire (愿望) for things to go well can make them remember things differently.”可知，压力、当前的事件以及他们对事情进展顺利的愿望会影响人们的记忆。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To some people, telling the truth can feel like giving up control. Often, people want things to go their way. The truth might not fit their plan, so they avoid it.”可知，对一些人来说，说实话可能感觉像是放弃控制。通常情况下，人们希望事情按照自己的意愿发展。真相可能不符合他们的计划，所以他们选择回避它。排除A；根据“Or they just don’t want to disappoint (使失望) you. Even though it might not seem like it, people who lie a lot are often worried about losing the respect of those around them.”可知，或者他们就是不想让你失望。即使看起来不像，经常说谎的人通常担心失去周围人的尊重。排除B；根据“Moreover, liars want their lies to be true. Sometimes, they hope that they can make something come true by saying it over and over again.”可知，说谎者希望他们的谎言是真的。有时，他们希望通过一遍又一遍地说谎来使某事成真。排除C。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Instead of asking why they lie, try to understand why the situation is so important to them. Showing empathy (同理心) and praising honesty can encourage more truth-telling.”可知，与其问他们为什么撒谎，不如试着理解为什么这件事对他们如此重要。表现出同情心和赞扬诚实可以鼓励更多的实话实说。与选项C“了解说谎的原因可能有助于减少谎言。”描述一致。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要探讨了人们说谎的原因（如习惯、压力、害怕失去尊重等）和如何帮助他们更诚实（如理解、展示同理心）。选项A“为什么人们说谎以及如何帮助他们。”准确概括了全文主题。故选A。 D The Internet lets everyone share their ideas, seemingly creating a more open and colorful world. However, have you ever felt like you’re in your own small world? Everything you hear or see just makes you more sure of what you already think.

Then they show us more information that matches our interests. B. It is a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. C. Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. D The Internet is our modern-day fire. E. But this can make our thinking very rigid (僵化的) . 【答案】16. B 17. D 18. A 19. E 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了“回音室（信息茧房）”的含义、形成原因、影响，并给出了摆脱它的方法。 【16题详解】 根据“In fact, most people are now in what is called an ‘echo chamber’—also known as an information cocoon.”及“You don’t hear any different ideas.”可知，此处是对“回音室（信息茧房）”进行解释，说明这是一个只能听到自己想法、听不到不同观点的地方，选项B“这是一个你自己的想法不断回到你身边的地方”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据“Think about how people used to sit around a fire, telling stories that made everyone else nod and smile.”可知，此处将过去人们围坐在火边分享观点的场景与现在的网络情况进行类比，选项D“互联网是我们现代的火”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据“Social media platforms know exactly what we like. That’s thanks to smart algorithms. Algorithms watch what we do on the Internet.”可知，此处说明算法在了解我们的喜好后会采取的行动，选项A“然后它们会向我们展示更多符合我们兴趣的信息”符合语境。故选A。 【19题详解】 根据“Being in an echo chamber makes us feel good.”及“It can also make it hard for us to understand people who think differently.”可知，此处是转折关系，说明身处回音室除了带来愉悦感外负面影响，选项E“但这会使我们的思维非常僵化”符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据“One big step is to look for information from different sources. Also, ask where the information you’ve found comes from, double-check facts and be open-minded.”可知，此处是说有方法可以打破回音室，选项C“幸运的是，有一些方法可以摆脱回音室”符合语境。故选C。 三、完形填空 (15小题，每小题1分，共15分) 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 Once, there was a lonely boy named Sam who lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) .

As his father, I’ve watched Ken patrol (巡逻) the area with his trusty (可靠的) trash picker and gloves, picking up whatever litter (垃圾) caught his eye, rain or shine. This all started after we visited a beach. Ken said he felt bad for Earth. The next day, he woke up and asked to go back to the beach. What surprised me was that Ken said he wanted to clean it. We compromised (折中) and went to a park instead. That day, Ken also cleaned the streets on the way to and from the park. When I asked Ken, “What do you want to do tomorrow?” he replied, “Can we go to a different park?” I couldn’t refuse him. I said, “Well, we could clean the schools” and that’s what we did. He’s really crazy about this cleaning mission (任务) and I’m not going to discourage him. In just one week, Ken has cleaned every park, school and public space we could get to in our community. Even when we went for a simple afternoon walk, Ken tagged along (跟随) with his bucket, cleaning the streets as we went. It seems that cleaning has become second nature to him and litter is the trigger (诱因) . When he said he wanted to do this every day over the summer, we didn’t realize how serious he was. But he wouldn’t stop it, and my wife and I are proud of him even though he’s just doing something as simple as picking up trash. It amazes me that at 6-and-a-half years old, he made the decision to achieve something, all on his own. 6. Why did Ken decide to pick up litter? A. Because his father asked him to do so. B. Because he felt sorry for the Earth. C. Because he wanted to play in the sand. D. Because his school gave him a mission. 7 What’s the right order of Ken’s story? ①Ken patrolled local parks and schools and picked up litter. ②Ken visited a beach and felt bad for Earth. ③Ken went to a park and cleaned the streets on the way. ④Ken cleaned the streets even when he went for a walk. A. ②③①④ B. ②①④③ C. ①②③④ D. ③①②④ 8. What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 3? A. He got the chance to stay closer to nature. B. He has became tired of doing the cleaning job. C. He has been in the habit of picking up litter. D. He spent all his free time picking up trash. 9. What was the father’s attitude toward Ken’s action? A. He supported Ken. B. He refused Ken. C. He was interested in it. D. He advised Ken to give up. 10. What’s the best title for the text? A. Proud Parents. B. Dirty Beaches. C. Litter Boy. D. Clean Parks. C Some people get so used to lying that they do so even when there is no clear purpose. Over the years, I’ve worked with a number of these people and learned a bit about how they think. Believe it or not, their lying makes some sense when you look at it through their eyes. The lie might not seem important to you, but it matters a lot to them. They think it’s a big deal. They might be putting too much pressure on themselves or the situation. To some people, telling the truth can feel like giving up control. Often, people want things to go their way. The truth might not fit their plan, so they avoid it. Or they just don’t want to disappoint (使失望) you. Even though it might not seem like it, people who lie a lot are often worried about losing the respect of those around them. They fear that the truth could make you turn away from them. However, lies can grow. One small lie leads to more lies to cover it up. If the liars admit to (承认) any single lie, they feel like they’re admitting to being a liar, and that’s scary. At other times, it’s not a lie to them. They might truly believe their lies at that moment. Studies show that many things influence our memories. Stress, current (当前的) events and their desire (愿望) for things to go well can make them remember things differently. Moreover, liars want their lies to be true. Sometimes, they hope that they can make something come true by saying it over and over again. Most people are honest most of the time. Even if some people lie more, they’re usually honest. Instead of asking why they lie, try to understand why the situation is so important to them. Showing empathy (同理心) and praising honesty can encourage more truth-telling. Being honest is important, and helping others be honest is also a good thing. 11. According to the passage, what may happen after someone tells a small lie? A. They forget it quickly. B. They need to tell more lies to cover it. C. Everyone will believe them. D. They feel very happy. 12. According to the passage, what can influence people’s memories? ①Stress ②Their desire ③ Current events ④ Others’ opinions A. ①②③ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ 13. Which of the following is NOT the reason why people lie? A. They want things to go their way and lie to avoid the truth. B. They are afraid of losing respect. C. They feel scared about admitting to being a liar, so they tell more lies to cover another. D. They like to control others by telling lies. 14. What can we infer from the passage? A. People who lie don’t care about others’ opinions. B. Once people start lying, they will never stop. C. Understanding the reasons for lying may help reduce it. D. Everyone lies often in their daily life. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Why people lie and how to help them. B. Why lying is always bad. C. How to be an honest person. D. How to catch liars. D The Internet lets everyone share their ideas, seemingly creating a more open and colorful world. However, have you ever felt like you’re in your own small world? Everything you hear or see just makes you more sure of what you already think. In fact, most people are now in what is called an “echo chamber (回音室)”—also known as an information cocoon (信息茧房) . ____16____. You don’t hear any different ideas.

Then they show us more information that matches our interests. B. It is a place where your own ideas keep coming back to you. C. Luckily, there are ways to break free from echo chambers. D. The Internet is our modern-day fire. E. But this can make our thinking very rigid (僵化的) . 三、完形填空 (15小题，每小题1分，共15分) 先通读短文，掌握其大意，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。 Once, there was a lonely boy named Sam who lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) .
