About 15 years ago, I was working at a sewing (缝纫) machine when I lost focus and put the needle straight through my left middle finger — the wound never quite recovered. It’s the kind of warning teachers tell new sewists, but it also creates a metaphor for a feeling that maybe familiar to the 7.7 million people who enjoy sewing as a hobby: the effect of sewing lives on under our skin. It’s a theme that runs through historian Barbara Burman’s book exploring the cultural history of sewing: The Point of the Needle: Why Sewing Matters. For Barbara, her own interest in sewing is something that can be traced back through her life.
“I grew up in a poor household, and I had two very practical parents,” she recalls. “My mother actually taught sewing, dressmaking, and soft tailoring, so I was surrounded by people making things and talking about tools. My interest in sewing comes from an interest in the history of ordinary people, particularly women’s lives. I feel that it’s a kind of untold story. We’re so used to it that we don’t think about it. We put our clothes on, and there we are. But I wanted to look at what sewing actually means at an individual level, as well as a more global level.”
We notice the invention of electricity and countless other creations — but sewing, despite the fact that we couldn’t go about our daily lives without it, is often overlooked. When I ask Barbara why the story of sewing is largely untold, she has some insight.
“Mostly because it’s connected so thoroughly with women, and women have always been, as it were, ‘second rate’,” she explains. “We’ve also lived with this quite false separation between working with our brains and working with our hands. So manual work is thought of as secondary to head work. But, in fact, our hands, and particularly our sense of touch, give us such a huge amount of information in the world. Countless studies have confirmed how beneficial crafts can be for our mental health and well-being.”
4. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 imply?
A. Sewing may cause physical injury to sewists.
B. Sewing is rooted in people’s life for a long time.
C. Sewing holds a deep meaning for sewing lovers.
D. Sewing is popular with a large number of people.
5. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. How Barbara’s parents taught her to sew.
B. What sewing meant to the general public.
C. How Barbabra got interested in sewing.
D. What family environment Barbara grew up in.
6. Why is the story of sewing ignored according to Barbara?
A. Women and manual work are undervalued.
B. People take no interest in the history of sewing.
C. Sewing is not as important as other inventions.
D. People prefer technology rather than hand-craft.
7. What does Barbara think of sewing?
A. It is a dying craft. B. It is a secondary job.
C. It is a dangerous practice. D. It is a rewarding skill.
C
When discussions are getting heated, divisions on opinions potentially lead to some awkward moments. This causes many of us to struggle with how to convince people to change their minds and how to argue our side effectively. Unfortunately, we’ve already become quite divided.
One study showed that when people receive information against their beliefs, their brains aren’t as active as when they receive information that confirms their beliefs. Humans have a well- documented bias (偏见) called the “confirmation bias”, which is a tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing views and to avoid information that disconfirms them.
Throwing data at people isn’t at all effective in changing minds and especially hearts. Instead, people just find it super annoying. Luckily, research has provided some guidance about best practices, and, not surprisingly, they all suggest what our parents have been telling us for decades: You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. In fact, it turns out that instead of citing why you are right and someone else is wrong in a heated conversation, one of the most effective strategies you can use for changing someone’s mind is to find areas where you agree.
Another thing we can do is to be open to other perspectives (观点) . We can start by acknowledging our own confirmation bias and making a conscious effort to override it. We can also try to take other people’s perspectives. And better yet — ask them for it. Ask them why they feel the way they do and what would change their mind. Be open to admitting that you could be wrong and make it easy for others to admit their own mistakes.
Finally, make new friends — friends that are different from you. Make your bias a disconfirmation bias;in other words, when you have an opinion on something, don’t just read information that confirms it. Instead, make an effort to find information that could potentially prove you wrong. If you were right all along, this exercise will only make your arguments stronger. If you were wrong, your mind will have been opened up to new ideas. Either way, this kind of open-mindedness will give you a brand-new perspective on life, and you might even make some unlikely new friends in the process.
8. Which can illustrate “confirmation bias”?
A. We tend to welcome different ideas.
B. We accept messages from the others.
C. We argue against points of disagreement.
D. We prefer information in line with our views
9. What does the underlined word “honey”in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Following advice. B. Sharing common ground.
C. Admitting mistakes. D. Blocking different ideas.
10. How can we benefit from our bias according to the last paragraph?
A. By letting go of our own opinion.
B. By making arguments more reliable.
C. By opening up minds to new friends.
D. By securing information opposite to ours.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. How to negotiate with others
B. Why it’s so hard to change hearts and minds
C. How to shift minds in polarized communication
D. Why open-mindedness is effective in conversations
D
The concept of dynamic pricing is simple—and easy for businesses to implement. Whether it’ s a Friday-evening fight, a hotel during the holidays, or a taxi ride in a downpour, we have all been burned by higher-than-normal prices due to excess demand. Raising costs when businesses are busiest is the norm across the travel industry. Perhaps the most well-known example of this is within ride-share companies, which have used surge pricing for years to charge riders when demand for cars rockets relative to the number of drivers available.
Outside travel, online stores are increasingly using this dynamic pricing, too, says Vomberg. “On Amazon. com alone, millions of price changes occur within a day, corresponding to a price change of about every ten minutes for each product. ”While consumers might not always pick up on these variations in price, Vomberg says time-based dynamic pricing will likely become a competitive standard at least in online markets. “AI-enabled tools can suggest the best prices via machine learning algorithms(算法). They can also track and learn competitor and customer responses to price changes,” he says.
Now, surge pricing is happening in stores including bars and supermarkets as well. “Physical businesses are adopting electronic shelf labels that enable real time price adjustment depending on the time of day, stock levels and whether items are approaching their sell-by date,” says Sarwar Khawaja, chairman of the Oxford Education Group. He says this technology is likely to cause prices in bars that use these signs to increase during the rushes of dinner,weekends or holidays,or for supermarkets to adjust prices throughout the day or week,depending on volume of shoppers.
The current economic climate is also driving the need for these pricing technologies. While creating competitive prices is always key to healthy profit margins, Khawaia says dynamic pricing enables businesses to optimise their pricing depending on the financial situations of their customer base. “Businesses can offer discounts during downturns while increasing prices in better off areas,” he says.
The changes, however, may not sit well with consumers. “Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand to more industries and more companies in the long term, but just because a product may be popular does not mean that customers are willing to turn a blind eye to being charged more,” says Khawaja. He adds surge pricing can cause customers to lose faith in a company if they believe they are being overcharged. “Perhaps dynamic pricing of a drink in your favourite pub might be a step too far for loyal customers.”
12. Which of the following best explains “dynamic pricing” in paragraph 1?
A. A system of deciding what the prices should be.
B. A means for companies to find target customers.
C. A method that helps promote sharing economy
D. A strategy of offering discounts to attract clients.
13. It can be inferred from Arnd Vomberg’s comments that online stores ________.
A. offer the most competitive prices
B make profits by changing prices in real time
C. confuse customers by changing prices
D. rely too much on machine learning algorithms
14. According to the passage, why do physical businesses adopt dynamic pricing?
A. To match supply and demand during peak hours.
B. To lift customer experience and encourage loyalty.
C. To maintain consistent pricing across all products.
D. To compete with online stores and businesses.
15. Which of the following best predicts how customers may react to the expansion of dynamic pricing?
A. Turn to whatever offers the lowest prices.
B. Protest against it for being too annoying.
C. Refuse to give in and are likely to resist.
D. Take it for granted and accept it altogether.
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage. _____16_____
It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people. ____17____
How can they maximize their impact?
First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues. ____18____ The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).
______19______ A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.
Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change. _______20_______ Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.
By speaking out on critical issues, leading with purpose, and acting as catalysts for change, CEOs can help lead society towards a better future.
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. But how should CEOs take on this role?
C. As leaders, CEOs should lead with purpose.
D. With great power comes great responsibility.
E. CEO statesmanship will matter more than ever.
F. But should CEOs be given so many privileges and responsibilities?
G. They have the power to influence public policy, and even the course of global events.

Every year, my children participate in their school’s Spirit Week.

On Monday, my kids are overflowing with excitement about ____22____ their costumes. On Tuesday, the ____23____ is lower, but they are still willing to try. By Thursday, they will no longer be bothered.
What is engaging on Monday becomes ____24____ by Friday. It’s natural ____25____ our brains have a basic feature that governs every nerve cell, called habituation, which is our tendency to respond less and less to the same ____26____. For example, you enter a bakery, and after about 20 minutes, you no longer ____27____ the smell of fresh dessert. Just as you’ve got used to the smell of baked goods, you also get used to the ____28____ of going to school in costume.
So, even the sparkle of exciting events ___29___ after a while. But there’s a way to make the good stuff “resparkle”: ____30____ the good experiences into bits. For example, think of a song you like. Do you think you would enjoy a song more if you listened to it ____31____ or with short interruptions? When surveyed, most people said they would ____32____ interruptions. Yet, research has found people appreciate a song more with ____33____. The initial joys will last longer since interruptions ____34____ habituation.

About 15 years ago, I was working at a sewing (缝纫) machine when I lost focus and put the needle straight through my left middle finger — the wound never quite recovered. It’s the kind of warning teachers tell new sewists, but it also creates a metaphor for a feeling that maybe familiar to the 7.7 million people who enjoy sewing as a hobby: the effect of sewing lives on under our skin. It’s a theme that runs through historian Barbara Burman’s book exploring the cultural history of sewing: The Point of the Needle: Why Sewing Matters. For Barbara, her own interest in sewing is something that can be traced back through her life.
“I grew up in a poor household, and I had two very practical parents,” she recalls. “My mother actually taught sewing, dressmaking, and soft tailoring, so I was surrounded by people making things and talking about tools. My interest in sewing comes from an interest in the history of ordinary people, particularly women’s lives. I feel that it’s a kind of untold story. We’re so used to it that we don’t think about it. We put our clothes on, and there we are. But I wanted to look at what sewing actually means at an individual level, as well as a more global level.”
We notice the invention of electricity and countless other creations — but sewing, despite the fact that we couldn’t go about our daily lives without it, is often overlooked. When I ask Barbara why the story of sewing is largely untold, she has some insight.
“Mostly because it’s connected so thoroughly with women, and women have always been, as it were, ‘second rate’,” she explains. “We’ve also lived with this quite false separation between working with our brains and working with our hands. So manual work is thought of as secondary to head work. But, in fact, our hands, and particularly our sense of touch, give us such a huge amount of information in the world. Countless studies have confirmed how beneficial crafts can be for our mental health and well-being.”
4. What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 imply?
A. Sewing may cause physical injury to sewists.
B. Sewing is rooted in people’s life for a long time.
C. Sewing holds a deep meaning for sewing lovers.
D. Sewing is popular with a large number of people.
5. What’s mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. How Barbara’s parents taught her to sew.
B. What sewing meant to the general public.
C. How Barbabra got interested in sewing.
D. What family environment Barbara grew up in.
6. Why is the story of sewing ignored according to Barbara?
A. Women and manual work are undervalued.
B. People take no interest in the history of sewing.
C. Sewing is not as important as other inventions.
D. People prefer technology rather than hand-craft.
7. What does Barbara think of sewing?
A. It is a dying craft. B. It is a secondary job.
C. It is a dangerous practice. D. It is a rewarding skill.
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了历史学家Barbara Burman对缝纫的热爱以及她对缝纫的深入理解和看法。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“It’s the kind of warning teachers tell new sewists, but it also creates a metaphor for a feeling that maybe familiar to the 7.7 million people who enjoy sewing as a hobby:”(这是老师对新缝纫工的警告,但它也创造了一种感觉的隐喻,这种感觉可能对770万把缝纫作为爱好的人来说很熟悉:)以及下文“It’s a theme that runs through historian Barbara Burman’s book exploring the cultural history of sewing: The Point of the Needle: Why Sewing Matters. For Barbara, her own interest in sewing is something that can be traced back through her life.”(历史学家Barbara Burman的书《针尖:为什么缝纫很重要》探讨了缝纫的文化史,贯穿了这个主题。对芭芭拉来说,她对缝纫的兴趣可以追溯到她的一生。)可知,缝纫的爱好让历史学家Barbara Burman追溯到她的一生,并且她的著作探讨了缝纫的文化史;由此可推知,划线部分“the effect of sewing lives on under our skin”(缝纫的影响深入我们的皮肤之下)暗示了缝纫对于缝纫爱好者来说有着深远的意义。故选C。
【5题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“I grew up in a poor household, and I had two very practical parents,” she recalls. “My mother actually taught sewing, dressmaking, and soft tailoring, so I was surrounded by people making things and talking about tools. My interest in sewing comes from an interest in the history of ordinary people, particularly women’s lives”(‘我在一个贫穷的家庭长大,我有两个非常实际的父母,’她回忆说。‘我的母亲实际上教的是缝纫、服装制作和软剪裁,所以我周围的人都在做东西,谈论工具。我对缝纫的兴趣来源于对普通人历史的兴趣,尤其是对女性生活的兴趣。’)可以推知,第二段主要是关于Barbara是如何对缝纫产生兴趣的。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Mostly because it’s connected so thoroughly with women, and women have always been, as it were, ‘second rate’,”(主要是因为它与女性有着密切的联系,而女性总是被视为‘二等公民’)以及“So manual work is thought of as secondary to head work.”(所以手工劳动被认为是次要的头脑工作)可以推断出,缝纫的故事被忽视的原因是女性和手工劳动被低估。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的句子“Countless studies have confirmed how beneficial crafts can be for our mental health and well-being.”(无数的研究已经证实,手工艺对我们的心理健康和幸福感有多大的好处)可以推断出,Barbara认为缝纫是一种有益的技能。故选D。
C
When discussions are getting heated, divisions on opinions potentially lead to some awkward moments. This causes many of us to struggle with how to convince people to change their minds and how to argue our side effectively. Unfortunately, we’ve already become quite divided.
One study showed that when people receive information against their beliefs, their brains aren’t as active as when they receive information that confirms their beliefs. Humans have a well- documented bias (偏见) called the “confirmation bias”, which is a tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing views and to avoid information that disconfirms them.
Throwing data at people isn’t at all effective in changing minds and especially hearts. Instead, people just find it super annoying. Luckily, research has provided some guidance about best practices, and, not surprisingly, they all suggest what our parents have been telling us for decades: You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. In fact, it turns out that instead of citing why you are right and someone else is wrong in a heated conversation, one of the most effective strategies you can use for changing someone’s mind is to find areas where you agree.
Another thing we can do is to be open to other perspectives (观点) . We can start by acknowledging our own confirmation bias and making a conscious effort to override it. We can also try to take other people’s perspectives. And better yet — ask them for it. Ask them why they feel the way they do and what would change their mind. Be open to admitting that you could be wrong and make it easy for others to admit their own mistakes.
Finally, make new friends — friends that are different from you. Make your bias a disconfirmation bias;in other words, when you have an opinion on something, don’t just read information that confirms it. Instead, make an effort to find information that could potentially prove you wrong. If you were right all along, this exercise will only make your arguments stronger. If you were wrong, your mind will have been opened up to new ideas. Either way, this kind of open-mindedness will give you a brand-new perspective on life, and you might even make some unlikely new friends in the process.
8. Which can illustrate “confirmation bias”?
A. We tend to welcome different ideas.
B. We accept messages from the others.
C. We argue against points of disagreement.
D. We prefer information in line with our views
9. What does the underlined word “honey”in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Following advice. B. Sharing common ground.
C. Admitting mistakes. D. Blocking different ideas.
10. How can we benefit from our bias according to the last paragraph?
A. By letting go of our own opinion.
B. By making arguments more reliable.
C. By opening up minds to new friends.
D. By securing information opposite to ours.
11. What is the best title of the text?
A. How to negotiate with others
B. Why it’s so hard to change hearts and minds
C. How to shift minds in polarized communication
D. Why open-mindedness is effective in conversations
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了人们在面对与自己观点相反的信息时,往往会产生“确认偏见”,即倾向于寻找能证实自己观点的信息,而避免与之相反的信息。文章建议我们在争论中寻找共同点,开放自己的观点,接纳不同的信息,这样可以使我们的观点更有说服力,也能开阔我们的视野。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Humans have a well- documented bias (偏见) called the“confirmation bias”, which is a tendency to seek out information that confirms our existing views and to avoid information that disconfirms them. ”(人类有一种有据可查的偏见,称为“确认偏见”,这是一种倾向,即寻找证实我们现有观点的信息,避免不符合这些观点的信息。)可知,D选项“我们更喜欢符合我们观点的信息”符合确认偏见”。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“In fact, it turns out that instead of citing why you are right and someone else is wrong in a heated conversation, one of the most effective strategies you can usefor changing someone’s mind is to find areas where you agree.”(事实证明,在激烈的争论中,改变他人观点最有效的策略之一就是找到你们共同认同的地方,而不是列举你为什么是对的,别人为什么是错的。)可推知,“honey”指的是找到共同的立场。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Make your bias a disconfirmation bias;in other words, when you have an opinion on something, don’t just read information that confirms it. Instead, make an effort to find information that could potentially prove you wrong. If you were right all along, this exercise will only make your arguments stronger. If you were wrong, your mind will have been opened up to new ideas.”(让你的偏见成为一种不确认的偏见;换句话说,当你对某事有看法时,不要只阅读证实它的信息。相反,要努力寻找可能证明你错了的信息。如果你一直都是对的,这个练习只会让你的论点更有力。如果你错了,你的思想就会向新思想开放。)可知,获取与我们相反的信息能让我们受益。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。主要讲述了人们在面对与自己观点相反的信息时,往往会产生“确认偏见”,即倾向于寻找能证实自己观点的信息,而避免与之相反的信息。文章建议我们在争论中寻找共同点,开放自己的观点,接纳不同的信息,这样可以使我们的观点更有说服力,也能开阔我们的视野。所以短文的最佳标题为“如何在两极分化的交流中改变思想”。故选C。
D
The concept of dynamic pricing is simple—and easy for businesses to implement. Whether it’ s a Friday-evening fight, a hotel during the holidays, or a taxi ride in a downpour, we have all been burned by higher-than-normal prices due to excess demand. Raising costs when businesses are busiest is the norm across the travel industry. Perhaps the most well-known example of this is within ride-share companies, which have used surge pricing for years to charge riders when demand for cars rockets relative to the number of drivers available.
Outside travel, online stores are increasingly using this dynamic pricing, too, says Vomberg. “On Amazon. com alone, millions of price changes occur within a day, corresponding to a price change of about every ten minutes for each product. ”While consumers might not always pick up on these variations in price, Vomberg says time-based dynamic pricing will likely become a competitive standard at least in online markets. “AI-enabled tools can suggest the best prices via machine learning algorithms(算法). They can also track and learn competitor and customer responses to price changes,” he says.
Now surge pricing is happening in stores including bars and supermarkets as well. “Physical businesses are adopting electronic shelf labels that enable real time price adjustment depending on the time of day, stock levels and whether items are approaching their sell-by date,” says Sarwar Khawaja, chairman of the Oxford Education Group. He says this technology is likely to cause prices in bars that use these signs to increase during the rushes of dinner,weekends or holidays,or for supermarkets to adjust prices throughout the day or week,depending on volume of shoppers.
The current economic climate is also driving the need for these pricing technologies. While creating competitive prices is always key to healthy profit margins, Khawaia says dynamic pricing enables businesses to optimise their pricing depending on the financial situations of their customer base. “Businesses can offer discounts during downturns while increasing prices in better off areas,” he says.
The changes, however, may not sit well with consumers. “Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand to more industries and more companies in the long term, but just because a product may be popular does not mean that customers are willing to turn a blind eye to being charged more,” says Khawaja. He adds surge pricing can cause customers to lose faith in a company if they believe they are being overcharged. “Perhaps dynamic pricing of a drink in your favourite pub might be a step too far for loyal customers.”
12 Which of the following best explains “dynamic pricing” in paragraph 1?
A. A system of deciding what the prices should be.
B. A means for companies to find target customers.
C. A method that helps promote sharing economy
D. A strategy of offering discounts to attract clients.
13. It can be inferred from Arnd Vomberg’s comments that online stores ________.
A. offer the most competitive prices
B. make profits by changing prices in real time
C. confuse customers by changing prices
D. rely too much on machine learning algorithms
14. According to the passage, why do physical businesses adopt dynamic pricing?
A. To match supply and demand during peak hours.
B. To lift customer experience and encourage loyalty.
C. To maintain consistent pricing across all products.
D. To compete with online stores and businesses.
15. Which of the following best predicts how customers may react to the expansion of dynamic pricing?
A. Turn to whatever offers the lowest prices.
B. Protest against it for being too annoying.
C. Refuse to give in and are likely to resist.
D. Take it for granted and accept it altogether.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了什么是“动态定价”,并分析了动态定价产生的原因及其影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The concept of dynamic pricing is simple—and easy for businesses to implement. Whether it’ s a Friday-evening fight, a hotel during the holidays, or a taxi ride in a downpour, we have all been burned by higher-than-normal prices due to excess demand. (动态定价的概念很简单,企业也很容易实现。无论是周五晚上的打架,假期里的酒店,还是倾盆大雨中的出租车,由于需求过剩,我们都被高于正常水平的价格所折磨。)”可知,“动态定价”的核心是决定价格。A项“A system of deciding what the prices should be. (决定价格的体系。)”最能解释“动态定价”。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段““On Amazon. com alone, millions of price changes occur within a day, corresponding to a price change of about every ten minutes for each product. ” (“仅在亚马逊网站上,一天内就会发生数百万次价格变化,相当于每种产品大约每十分钟就会发生一次价格变化。”)”可知,网店通过实时改变价格获利。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““Physical businesses are adopting electronic shelf labels that enable real time price adjustment depending on the time of day, stock levels and whether items are approaching their sell-by date,” says Sarwar Khawaja, chairman of the Oxford Education Group. (牛津教育集团主席Sarwar Khawaja表示:“实体企业正在采用电子货架标签,可以根据一天中的时间、库存水平以及商品是否接近保质期进行实时价格调整。”)”可知,实体企业采用动态定价是为了满足高峰时段的供应和需求。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The changes, however, may not sit well with consumers. “Dynamic and surge pricing will likely expand to more industries and more companies in the long term, but just because a product may be popular does not mean that customers are willing to turn a blind eye to being charged more,” says Khawaja. (然而,这些变化可能不会让消费者满意。Khawaja说:“从长远来看,动态和激增的定价可能会扩展到更多的行业和公司,但仅仅因为一种产品可能很受欢迎并不意味着客户愿意对收取更多费用视而不见。”)”可知,顾客可能会不满意动态定价,很可能会反抗。故选C。

阅读下面短文,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。
Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage. _____16_____
It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people. ____17____
How can they maximize their impact?
First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues. ____18____ The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).
______19______ A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.
Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change. _______20_______ Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions.

By speaking out on critical issues leading with purpose, and acting as catalysts for change, CEOs can help lead society towards a better future.
A. Actions speak louder than words.
B. But how should CEOs take on this role?

【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. C 20. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了首席执行官(CEO)的职责以及影响力。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Historically, CEOs were mainly seen as the managers of their companies. Today’s CEOs, however, are increasingly recognized as essential players on the world stage.(从历史上看,CEO主要被视为公司的管理者。然而,今天的首席执行官们越来越被认为是世界舞台上不可或缺的角色)”可知,本句为本段最后一句,故承接上文,说明CEO被认为是不可或缺角色的原因。故G选项“他们有能力影响公共政策,甚至影响全球事件的进程”符合语境,故选G。
【17题详解】
根据上文“It’s a phenomenon called CEO statesmanship. This is a function not only of CEOs’ economic power, but also of their role in influencing a wide range of people.(这是一种被称为CEO政治家风度的现象。这不仅与首席执行官的经济实力有关,也与他们在影响广泛人群方面的作用有关)”以及后文“How can they maximize their impact?(他们如何才能最大限度地发挥自己的影响力?)”可知,本句为过渡句,指出CEO是如何发挥自己作用的。故B选项“但是CEO们应该如何扮演这个角色呢?”符合语境,故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“First, a CEO should be prepared to speak out on critical issues.(首先,CEO应该准备好就关键问题发表意见)”以及后文“The great fame of CEOs requires them to be informed and thoughtful. More than ever, they are expected to share their views, to engage in national conversations and to contribute to social progress. Saying nothing and avoiding the spot-light may feel safer, but a CEO who stands for nothing is dispensable (可有可无的).(首席执行官们的巨大声誉要求他们见多识广、深思熟虑。人们比以往任何时候都更希望他们分享自己的观点,参与全国性的对话,并为社会进步作出贡献。什么都不说,避开聚光灯可能会让人感觉更安全,但一个什么都不代表的CEO是不可或缺的)”可知,后文提到CEO需要对社会进步做出贡献,强调了他们的责任。故D选项“权力越大,责任越大”符合语境,故选D。
【19题详解】
根据后文“A CEO shouldn’t make a statement about every news headline. Leaders who express their opinions on every topic will find that they are expected to respond to issues out of their depths. This invites missteps and the loss of authority. Knowing when to speak and when to stay silent is important. Only by focusing on what lies in their depths, interests and values can they make a meaningful contribution.(CEO不应该对每个新闻标题都发表声明。对每个话题都表达自己观点的领导者会发现,他们被期望对超出自己深度的问题做出回应。这会导致失误和权威的丧失。知道什么时候该说话,什么时候该保持沉默是很重要的。只有关注自己的深度、兴趣和价值观,才能做出有意义的贡献)”可知,本段主要说明了CEO的领导方式。故C选项“作为领导者,CEO应该有目的性地领导”符合语境,故选C。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Finally, a CEO should act as a catalyst (催化剂) for change.(最后,CEO应该成为变革的催化剂)”以及后文“Stakeholders can see the difference between lip service and sincere efforts. When a CEO decides to make a statement on a matter of public concern, it must be backed by concrete actions. For example, if they are keen on green development, they can take measures to reduce their firms’ carbon footprint.(利益相关者可以看到口头承诺和真诚努力之间的区别。当首席执行官决定就公众关注的问题发表声明时,必须有具体的行动支持。例如,如果他们热衷于绿色发展,他们可以采取措施减少公司的碳足迹)”可知,后文强调了CEO必须有具体的行动来支持自己的言论,即强调了行动。故A选项“行动比语言更响亮”符合语境,故选A。

56. It is often the case _______ anything is possible for those who hold on to hope.
【答案】that

【详解】考查定语从句。句意:在《将进酒》中,李白写道:“人生得意须尽欢,莫使金樽空对月?”分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词Invitation to Wine在从句中作地点状语成分,所以为关系副词where引导。故填where。
59. ______ Li Bai, a great Chinese poet, was born is known to the public, but some won’t accept it. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】Where
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意:中国伟大诗人李白的出生地已为大家所知,但是一些人不接受。此处是主语从句,is known to the public是谓语部分;根据was born可知,说的是出生的地点,应用where引导。故 填where。

【答案】why
【解析】
【详解】考查宾语从句。句意:我想知道2010年全球为何会发生如此多的自然灾害。动词wonder后接宾语从句,该从句为强调句型“it was+强调部分+that+句子其他部分”;被强调部分是原因状语,空处需填疑问副词,表示“为什么”。故填why。
64. In 1963 the UN set up the World Food Programme, one of __________ purposes is to relieve worldwide starvation. (用适当的词填空)

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I can well remember that I was once asked to deliver a speech titled A Real Test in My Life before the whole class at the age of 9! You can imagine how ___66___(terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that — with so many eyes___67___(fix) upon me. I had no choice but ___68___(prepare) for it, though. First of all, I was to draft the speech, ___69___ was just a piece of cake for me, a good writer. But the hardest part ___70___(lie) in my oral presentation from my memory, for to read from the paper was not allowed. The real moment began when I stood on the platform with my legs ___71___(tremble) and my mind blank. But my listeners were waiting patiently without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found ___72___(I) back, giving out my speech without difficulty. After ___73___ seemed to be a hundred years, I found my audience applauding — I made it! From then on, my fear of talking before a big audience disappeared. Actually with my ___74___(confident) building up, I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back, I know the greatest difficulty on our way to success is our fear. Overcome it, ____75____ we will be able to achieve our goals.
【答案】66. terribly
67. fixed 68. to prepare
69. which 70. lay
71. trembling
72. myself 73. what
74. confidence
75. and
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者9岁时在全班同学面前演讲的经历。作者起初极度害羞,但经过准备,尽管演讲时紧张,最终成功完成演讲,克服了在众人面前讲话的恐惧,从而领悟到成功路上最大的困难是恐惧,克服它就能实现目标。
【66题详解】
考查副词。句意:你能想象当我一想到这件事的时候我有多害羞——这么多眼睛都盯着我。此处修饰形容词shy,应用副词形式,terrible的副词为terribly,意为“非常,极其”。故填terribly。
【67题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:你能想象当我一想到这件事的时候我有多害羞——这么多眼睛都盯着我。此处为with复合结构,即“with +宾语+宾语补足语”,eyes与fix之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词fixed作宾语补足语。故填fixed。
【68题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:不过,我别无选择,只能为它做准备。“have no choice but to do sth.”是固定搭配,意为“除了做某事别无选择”,所以此处填to prepare。故填to prepare。
【69题详解】
考查非限制性定语从句。句意:首先,我要起草演讲稿,这对我这个优秀的作家来说简直是小菜一碟。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为“to draft the speech”,指物,在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【70题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:但最困难的部分在于凭记忆进行口头陈述,因为不允许照着稿子读。根据语境以及上下文的时态可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,lie(在于)的过去式为lay。故填lay。
【71题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当我站在讲台上,双腿颤抖,大脑一片空白时,真正的时刻开始了。此处为with复合结构,legs与tremble之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词trembling作宾语补足语。故填trembling。
【72题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:渐渐地,我找回了自我,顺利地发表了演讲。find oneself表示“发觉自己的处境、状态等”,这里指作者逐渐找回状态,所以用反身代词myself。故填myself。
【73题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:似乎过了一百年之后,我发现听众在鼓掌——我成功了!after后接宾语从句,从句中缺少主语,指物,所以用what引导,what在从句中作主语,意为“……的事情”。故填what。
【74题详解】
考查名词。句意:事实上,随着我的信心增强,我现在成了一名出色的演讲者。根据形容词性物主代词my可知,此处应填名词,confident的名词形式为confidence,意为“信心”,不可数,作宾语。故填confidence。
【75题详解】
考查固定句型。句意:克服它,我们就能实现我们的目标。“祈使句+and+陈述句”是一个常用句型,其中祈使句表示条件,and后的陈述句表示结果,相当于if引导的条件状语从句。这里“Overcome it”表示条件,“we will be able to achieve our goals”表示结果,所以用and连接。故填and。

Proposal for AI-empowered PE Elective Courses

【答案】
Proposal for AI-empowered PE Elective Courses
As a student passionate about innovation, I propose integrating AI into PE electives. My suggestion is to develop an AI system that designs personalized training plans based on students’ fitness levels and tracks their progress through wearable devices.
Traditional PE classes often adopt a “one-size-fits-all” approach, which may not suit everyone. AI can analyze individual data to create tailored exercises, ensuring safer and more effective workouts. It also provides instant feedback to correct movements, reducing injury risks.
This approach will improve overall fitness and help students build sustainable exercise habits. Let’s embrace AI to make PE smarter and healthier!
