Having read my fill about oceans of water, I turned to goggle for information about oceans made of other stuff, like liquid hydrocarbons. I hoped to find reliable (可靠的) results, perhaps from NASA. Instead, Google’s AI feature suggested Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, known for its saltwater ocean. This made me mad because it was not the information I was looking for. This is a small example of how AI can fail. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor highlight many more concerning examples in their new book AI Snake Oil. They write about AI tools that say they can predict (预测) things like academic success, disease risk, or even wars. Along the way, the authors also explore many other issue with AI, covering misinformation, privacy, and copyright. They address whether we should be afraid of AI, concluding. “We should be far more concerned about what people will do with AI than with what AI will do on its own.” The authors point out that the technology is advancing quickly. Some of the details may be out of date — or at least old news — by the time the book makes it into your hands. For example, predictive AI, which aims to foresee future events, often fails because human behavior is too complex to predict. The authors believe that many AI systems are “snake oil” meaning they do not work as promised. When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them, Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: Society has given too much freedom to the teach industry, “We are not okay with leaving the future of AI up to the people currently in charge.” they write. This book is a wake-up call for anyone who uses AI or makes decisions about it, encouraging us to think critically (批判地) and use AI responsible. 4. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1? A. To show the disadvantage of AI B. To prove the reliability of AI C. To explore the power of Google. D. To share a scientific discovery. 5. What do Narayanan and Kapoor find more concerning? A. What AI will do by itself. B. How people choose to use AI C. What is spreading online D. How AI systems are stopped. 6. What do Narayanan and Kapoor suggest about AI development? A. Leaving it growing fast. B. Giving it enough freedom C. Putting it under control D. Preventing it immediately. 7. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A research paper. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Arvind Narayanan和Sayash Kapoor合著的新书AI Snake Oil，书中探讨了AI工具存在的诸多问题，指出社会已给予科技行业过多自由，并呼吁人们应当理性使用AI。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A few months ago, I was working on an article about oceans across the solar system. Having read my fill about oceans of water, I turned to goggle for information about oceans made of other stuff, like liquid hydrocarbons. I hoped to find reliable results, perhaps from NASA. Instead, Google’s AI feature suggested Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, known for its saltwater ocean. This made me mad because it was not the information I was looking for.(几个月前，我正在写一篇关于太阳系海洋的文章。在阅读了大量关于水海洋的资料后，我转向谷歌搜索由其他物质构成的海洋的信息，比如液态碳氢化合物。我希望找到可靠的结果，也许来自NASA。然而，谷歌的AI功能建议了土星的卫星Enceladus，它以其咸水海洋而闻名。这让我很生气，因为这不是我在寻找的信息)”及第二段“This is a small example of how AI can fail.(这是一个AI可能会失败的小例子)”可知，作者在第一段提及这个事例是为了展示AI的不便之处。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They address whether we should be afraid of AI, concluding. “We should be far more concerned about what people will do with AI than with what AI will do on its own.”(他们讨论了我们是否应该害怕AI，得出结论：“我们应该更加关注人们会用AI做什么，而不是AI自己能做些什么。”)”可知，Narayanan和Kapoor更担心的是人们选择如何使用AI。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them, Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: Society has given too much freedom to the teach industry, “We are not okay with leaving the future of AI up to the people currently in charge.” they write.(至于为什么存在这些问题以及如何改变它们，Narayanan和Kapoor提出了明确的观点：社会给了科技行业太多自由，“我们不赞同将AI的未来交给现在负责的人。”他们写道)”可知，作者们认为社会给予了科技行业过多自由，需要对AI的发展进行控制。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕Arvind Narayanan和Sayash Kapoor的新书AI Snake Oil展开讨论，分析了书中关于AI的问题和挑战，因此是一篇书评。故选C。 C Air pollution remains a global health crisis, responsible for 4.7 million early deaths worldwide in 2021 — about the same as road-traffic accidents, malaria and suicides combined. While road traffic significantly contributes to this problem, the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) presents both promise and challenges that deserve careful examination. Unlike traditional cars, EVs produce no direct exhaust emissions (尾气排放), making them crucial for urban air quality improvement. However, they still produce considerable non-exhaust pollutants from brake, tire and road wear (磨损). These micro particles (颗粒), particularly those smaller than 2.5 microns, pose serious health risks by getting into the lungs and other organs via the bloodstream, potentially causing heart or lung disease, stroke, and cancer. One 2021 study by researchers at the University of Southampton found some brake-pad dust seems more damaging to lung cells, partly due to higher levels of copper, which can damage cells and DNA. Scientists estimate that EVs produce more of these non-exhaust particles than other cars because their batteries make them heavier, the weight averaging 2,133 kg, compared to 1,500-1,800 kg for traditional vehicles, causing them to generate more friction (摩擦). Despite this, EVs are still mostly less polluting than other cars. They maintain an environmental advantage partly through regenerative braking systems where when the driver removes their foot from the pedal, the continued forward motion of the car is harvested to recharge the battery, thereby slowing the car down. Comparative studies show EVs emit about 14 mg/ km of fine particles versus 18 mg/ km for petrol when accounting for all sources. To maximize EV benefits, several strategies are significant. One way is to regulate non-exhaust emissions in a similar way to exhaust. Encouraging people to consider smaller cars, though difficult, would be another, as bigger sizes often mean larger and heavier batteries and the extra range provided by largest batteries may never be needed. Plus, the electricity powering EVs must come from renewable sources to avoid simply relocating pollution to power plants. 8. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To promote the use of EVs. B. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of EVs. C. To argue about car pollution. D. To compare two types of vehicle pollution. 9. How do regenerative braking systems in EVs reduce pollution? A. Stop using brakes completely B. Turn motion into battery power C. Prevent harmful particles D. Make the car lighter. 10. Which best explains “relocating” in Paragraph 5? A. reducing. B. shifting. C. hiding. D. measuring. 11. What can be inferred about oversized EVs? A. They may cause unnecessary pollution. B. They help regulate emissions. C. They are powered with renewable sources. D. They show technological progress. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章围绕电动汽车与空气污染这一主题展开。阐述了电动汽车改善城市空气质量的潜力，也分析了面临的挑战。通过研究说明电动汽车非尾气颗粒物危害更大的原因，又通过对比研究肯定了电动汽车整体污染仍较低且具备环保优势。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，全文围绕电动汽车展开，既阐述了其优势（无直接尾气排放、总体污染少于传统汽车、再生制动系统减少污染等），也分析了其存在的问题（产生非尾气污染物、因重量大导致颗粒排放更多等），最后还提出了最大化电动汽车益处的策略。由此可知，文章主要讨论了电动汽车的优缺点。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“They maintain an environmental advantage partly through regenerative braking systems where when the driver removes their foot from the pedal, the continued forward motion of the car is harvested to recharge the battery, thereby slowing the car down.(它们的环境优势部分源于再生制动系统：当司机松开踏板时，汽车持续的前进动力会被回收以给电池充电，从而使汽车减速。)”可知，电动汽车的再生制动系统在司机松开踏板时，会将汽车持续的前进动力回收以给电池充电，从而实现减速。这一过程减少了传统刹车的使用频率，进而减少了刹车磨损产生的污染物，其核心是将运动转化为电池电力。故选B。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在语境“Plus, the electricity powering EVs must come from renewable sources to avoid simply relocating pollution to power plants.(此外，为电动汽车供电的电力必须来自可再生能源，以避免污染只是简单地……到发电厂。)”可知，若电动汽车的电力来自非可再生能源，污染就会从汽车转移到发电厂。划线单词意为“转移”，选项B“shifting”意为“转移”，与此相符。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“Encouraging people to consider smaller cars, though difficult, would be another, as bigger sizes often mean larger and heavier batteries and the extra range provided by largest batteries may never be needed.(鼓励人们考虑购买小型汽车——尽管这并非易事，因为车身越大，通常意味着电池越大、越重，而最大容量电池所提供的额外续航里程可能根本用不上。)”可知，大型电动汽车通常配备更大更重的电池，而其提供的额外续航可能根本用不上。结合前文提到电动汽车因重量大产生更多非尾气污染物，可推断大型电动汽车可能因不必要的重量和电池规模导致多余的污染。故选A。 D While sending gifts, we naturally make choices based on the receiver. But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the receiver happier? In 2015, a psychologist Lauren Human did an online survey which suggested that when buying gifts, people preferred to choose something based on the receiver’s personality and tastes. Most people also said they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them. But Human wondered if this method of giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So he sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “shows your knowledge of the receiver” while the others bought a card that “shows your true self”. After shopping, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling closer to their mothers. To study how the method is received by receivers, he did another test, asking 100 students to choose a song to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group followed the same instructions as the card buyers. Results suggested that the receivers of songs which showed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind. Human suggests it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the goal” of a gift and surely it should be — then we “may well be advised to offer gifts showing ourselves more”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely satisfy the receiver’s practical needs or tastes as one gift gained simply with that in mind. Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act because it decreases the risk of showing poor knowledge of a receiver by trying to buy something that fits their character and failing. 12. What was the main finding of Lauren Human’s online survey in 2015? A. People prefer giving gifts based on their own tastes. B. Most people choose gifts that reflect the receiver’s personality. C. Receivers dislike gifts that show the giver’s true self. D. Gifts bought for special occasions are more meaningful. 13. What can we learn from the Mother’s Day card test? A. Most people choose gifts with the receiver in mind. B. Most people choose gifts based on their personal tastes. C. Gifts chosen with the giver in mind work well on the giver. D. Gifts chosen with the receiver in mind work well on the receiver. 14. What matters most in gift giving according to the text? A. Making the giver’s life happier. B. Meeting the receiver’s practical needs. C. Showing one’s knowledge of the receiver. D. Building and strengthening social connections. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Art of Choosing Perfect Gifts B. The Psychology Behind Perfect Gift Selection C. Why Self-Reflective Gifts Strengthen Bonds D. How to Avoid Gift-Giving Mistakes 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了送礼的方式，指出传统基于接收者性格和喜好来挑选礼物的方法或许并非最佳，通过心理学家的系列研究论证送礼时展现送礼者自身能让送礼者与接收者关系更亲密，进而提出为使礼物有意义应展现自我这一观点，并阐述了这样做的好处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In 2015, a psychologist Lauren Human did an online survey which suggested that when buying gifts, people preferred to choose something based on the receiver’s personality and tastes. Most people also said they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them.( 2015年，心理学家Lauren Human做了一项在线调查，结果显示，人们买礼物时更倾向于根据收礼人的性格和喜好来挑选。大多数人也表示，他们更喜欢收到那些明显是为自己精心挑选的礼物 —— 也就是“为他们而选”的礼物。)”可知，Lauren Human 2015年的在线调查主要发现是：人们买礼物时倾向于根据收礼人的性格和喜好来挑选，且大多数人也喜欢收到为自己精心挑选的礼物。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“So he sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “shows your knowledge of the receiver” while the others bought a card that “shows your true self”. After shopping, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling closer to their mothers.(于是，在母亲节前夕，他让78名志愿者去购物中心购物。一半人被要求买一张“能体现你对收礼人了解”的贺卡，另一半人则要买一张“能展现真实自我”的贺卡。购物结束后，那些在挑选时多少考虑了自身的送礼者表示，自己感觉和母亲的距离更近了。)”可知，在母亲节卡片测试中，那些在选择礼物时部分考虑到自己的送礼者，报告说感觉与母亲更亲近了。这说明考虑到送礼者自身的礼物对送礼者效果很好。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Human suggests it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the goal” of a gift and surely it should be — then we “may well be advised to offer gifts showing ourselves more”.(Human认为，这一点可能适用于所有礼物。“如果送礼物的目的是建立更牢固的社会关系——而且毫无疑问理应如此——那么我们‘或许应该多送一些能展现自我的礼物’。)”可知，送礼的目标应该是建立更牢固的社会联系，这也是送礼中最重要的事。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely satisfy the receiver’ s practical needs or tastes as one gift gained simply with that in mind. Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act because it decreases the risk of showing poor knowledge of a receiver by trying to buy something that fits their character and failing.(简而言之，要让一份礼物有意义，你得在其中融入一点自己的东西，即便这样做可能存在风险：相比那些完全只考虑收礼人需求而挑选的礼物，这份礼物可能无法那么贴切地满足收礼人的实际需求或喜好。此外，送包含自身特质的礼物可能更稳妥，因为当你试图买一件符合收礼人性格的礼物却失败时，很容易显得你对对方了解不足，而融入自我的礼物能降低这种风险。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕体现自我的礼物如何增进人际关系展开的。选项C“Why Self-Reflective Gifts Strengthen Bonds(为何体现自我的礼物能增进感情)”精准概括了实验结论和文章主旨，符合文意。故选C。 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。 Is Exercise the Key to Better Health?

The girl wore a bright red hat and smiled as she looked around at the tall windows and long lines of people. The hall was filled with voices, rolling suitcases, and the announcements over loudspeakers. They had come early to make sure they had enough time for their flight. They reached the check-in counter (柜台) well before their flight. Jason smiled at the agent (工作人员) and placed two small bags on the scale. Jason gently lifted his daughter onto the counter beside his suitcase. The agent asked, “May I have your tickets, please?” The agent scanned his boarding pass, then looked at the girl. “I’m sorry,” she said, in a soft but firm voice, “your daughter needs her own ticket. Our rules say any child over twenty-four months needs a full-price seat.” Jason blinked (眨眼睛) in surprise. He mistakenly thought his daughter was free because of her age. He looked down at his daughter’s small feet and remembered how he had held her when she was a baby. “But she is only two years old,” Jason said softly. “I did not know she needed a ticket.” The agent shook her head. “I know it is confusing. But our system will not let me continue without the extra ticket.” Jason took a deep breath and checked his wallet. Inside were a few bills, a credit card, and a hope that he could somehow fix this. He turned to the agent, “I don’t have enough money right now. The ticket costs…?” She tapped the screen. “Seven hundred forty-nine dollars.” He swallowed hard and whispered, “I do not…” He felt his face going red as he stepped back from the counter. He bent down and hugged his daughter close. “Sweetie, I need to make a quick call,” he said. Then he walked away, with phone in hand, his steps slow and heavy. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 While Jason stood a few feet away, a kind-looking woman came to the counter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The woman smiled and shook her head, saying “You don’t need to repay me.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: While Jason stood a few feet away, a kind-looking woman came to the counter. “I will pay for the ticket,” she said. The agent paused in surprise, then nodded. The woman folded the pass and handed it to the girl. Moments later, Jason returned to the counter. He looked at his daughter’s ticket in her hand. “How did this happen?” The agent pointed to the woman, “This kind lady paid for it.” The father turned to the woman. “Thank you,” he said. “My name is Jason. I want to repay you. May I have your name, please?” The woman smiled and shook her head, saying “You don’t need to repay me.” “I just wanted to help,” she added. “It was nothing big, really. Enjoy your trip with your daughter.” Before Jason could try again to learn her name or offer his thanks in some other way, she turned around and walked down the line of people waiting to check in. Jason watched her and thought about the stranger’s act of kindness. He felt both grateful and humbled. He looked at his daughter’s red hat and decided to teach her to help others, just as the stranger had helped them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一张儿童票为线索展开，讲述了Jason带两岁女儿赶飞机时，意外被告知需支付749美元儿童票。无力承担的他陷入困境，此时一位陌生女士默默代付了机票，拒绝留下姓名便悄然离开。看着女儿的红帽子，Jason决心教女儿学会乐于助人，将这份善意传递下去。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当Jason站在几英尺远的地方时，一个看起来很和蔼的女人走到柜台前”可知，第一段可描写这名女士为Jason的女儿支付机票钱，Jason回来后发现女儿有了机票，被工作人员告知机票来源，Jason想报答这名女士。 ②由第二段首句内容“女人笑着摇了摇头，说：‘你不用报答我。’”可知，第二段可描写这名女士表示自己只是想帮忙，然后离开了，Jason因为陌生人的善举而感动，决定传递这份善意。 2. 续写线索：女士来到柜台——为Jason的女儿购买机票——Jason提出回报——女士婉拒——女士离开——Jason感激，决定传递善意 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①返回：return/go back/come back ②回报：repay/pay back ③提供：offer/provide/give 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②感激的：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Before Jason could try again to learn her name or offer his thanks in some other way, she turned around and walked down the line of people waiting to check in.

Having read my fill about oceans of water, I turned to goggle for information about oceans made of other stuff, like liquid hydrocarbons. I hoped to find reliable (可靠的) results, perhaps from NASA. Instead, Google’s AI feature suggested Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, known for its saltwater ocean. This made me mad because it was not the information I was looking for. This is a small example of how AI can fail. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor highlight many more concerning examples in their new book AI Snake Oil. They write about AI tools that say they can predict (预测) things like academic success, disease risk, or even wars. Along the way, the authors also explore many other issue with AI, covering misinformation, privacy, and copyright. They address whether we should be afraid of AI, concluding. “We should be far more concerned about what people will do with AI than with what AI will do on its own.” The authors point out that the technology is advancing quickly. Some of the details may be out of date — or at least old news — by the time the book makes it into your hands. For example, predictive AI, which aims to foresee future events, often fails because human behavior is too complex to predict. The authors believe that many AI systems are “snake oil” meaning they do not work as promised. When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them, Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: Society has given too much freedom to the teach industry, “We are not okay with leaving the future of AI up to the people currently in charge.” they write. This book is a wake-up call for anyone who uses AI or makes decisions about it, encouraging us to think critically (批判地) and use AI responsible. 4. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1? A. To show the disadvantage of AI B. To prove the reliability of AI C. To explore the power of Google. D. To share a scientific discovery. 5. What do Narayanan and Kapoor find more concerning? A. What AI will do by itself. B. How people choose to use AI C. What is spreading online D. How AI systems are stopped. 6. What do Narayanan and Kapoor suggest about AI development? A. Leaving it growing fast. B. Giving it enough freedom C. Putting it under control D. Preventing it immediately. 7. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A research paper. C Air pollution remains a global health crisis, responsible for 4.7 million early deaths worldwide in 2021 — about the same as road-traffic accidents, malaria and suicides combined. While road traffic significantly contributes to this problem, the shift to electric vehicles (EVs) presents both promise and challenges that deserve careful examination. Unlike traditional cars, EVs produce no direct exhaust emissions (尾气排放), making them crucial for urban air quality improvement. However, they still produce considerable non-exhaust pollutants from brake, tire and road wear (磨损). These micro particles (颗粒), particularly those smaller than 2.5 microns, pose serious health risks by getting into the lungs and other organs via the bloodstream, potentially causing heart or lung disease, stroke, and cancer. One 2021 study by researchers at the University of Southampton found some brake-pad dust seems more damaging to lung cells, partly due to higher levels of copper, which can damage cells and DNA. Scientists estimate that EVs produce more of these non-exhaust particles than other cars because their batteries make them heavier, the weight averaging 2,133 kg, compared to 1,500-1,800 kg for traditional vehicles, causing them to generate more friction (摩擦). Despite this, EVs are still mostly less polluting than other cars. They maintain an environmental advantage partly through regenerative braking systems where when the driver removes their foot from the pedal, the continued forward motion of the car is harvested to recharge the battery, thereby slowing the car down. Comparative studies show EVs emit about 14 mg/ km of fine particles versus 18 mg/ km for petrol when accounting for all sources. To maximize EV benefits, several strategies are significant. One way is to regulate non-exhaust emissions in a similar way to exhaust. Encouraging people to consider smaller cars, though difficult, would be another, as bigger sizes often mean larger and heavier batteries and the extra range provided by largest batteries may never be needed. Plus, the electricity powering EVs must come from renewable sources to avoid simply relocating pollution to power plants. 8. What is the main purpose of this passage? A. To promote the use of EVs. B. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of EVs. C. To argue about car pollution. D. To compare two types of vehicle pollution. 9. How do regenerative braking systems in EVs reduce pollution? A. Stop using brakes completely B. Turn motion into battery power C. Prevent harmful particles D. Make the car lighter. 10. Which best explains “relocating” in Paragraph 5? A. reducing. B. shifting. C. hiding. D. measuring. 11. What can be inferred about oversized EVs? A. They may cause unnecessary pollution. B. They help regulate emissions. C. They are powered with renewable sources. D. They show technological progress. D While sending gifts, we naturally make choices based on the receiver. But what if we have been wrong all along and that we could turn things around, which not only made gift buying easier, but the receiver happier? In 2015, a psychologist Lauren Human did an online survey which suggested that when buying gifts, people preferred to choose something based on the receiver’s personality and tastes. Most people also said they preferred receiving gifts bought with them in mind: gifts for them. But Human wondered if this method of giving failed to take advantage of the way we connect as people. So he sent 78 volunteers into a shopping centre before Mother’s Day. Half were told to buy a card that “shows your knowledge of the receiver” while the others bought a card that “shows your true self”. After shopping, the givers who had thought partly of themselves reported feeling closer to their mothers. To study how the method is received by receivers, he did another test, asking 100 students to choose a song to a friend, partner or family member. Each half of the group followed the same instructions as the card buyers. Results suggested that the receivers of songs which showed something of the givers felt closer to them than those who received gifts bought only with them in mind. Human suggests it might apply to all gifts. “If building stronger social connections is the goal” of a gift and surely it should be — then we “may well be advised to offer gifts showing ourselves more”. In short, for a present to be meaningful, you need to give away a bit of yourself, even if there is a risk that the gift might not so closely satisfy the receiver’s practical needs or tastes as one gift gained simply with that in mind. Moreover, giving something of oneself can be a safer act because it decreases the risk of showing poor knowledge of a receiver by trying to buy something that fits their character and failing. 12. What was the main finding of Lauren Human’s online survey in 2015? A. People prefer giving gifts based on their own tastes. B. Most people choose gifts that reflect the receiver’s personality. C.

The girl wore a bright red hat and smiled as she looked around at the tall windows and long lines of people. The hall was filled with voices, rolling suitcases, and the announcements over loudspeakers. They had come early to make sure they had enough time for their flight. They reached the check-in counter (柜台) well before their flight. Jason smiled at the agent (工作人员) and placed two small bags on the scale. Jason gently lifted his daughter onto the counter beside his suitcase. The agent asked, “May I have your tickets, please?” The agent scanned his boarding pass, then looked at the girl. “I’m sorry,” she said, in a soft but firm voice, “your daughter needs her own ticket. Our rules say any child over twenty-four months needs a full-price seat.” Jason blinked (眨眼睛) in surprise. He mistakenly thought his daughter was free because of her age. He looked down at his daughter’s small feet and remembered how he had held her when she was a baby. “But she is only two years old,” Jason said softly. “I did not know she needed a ticket.” The agent shook her head. “I know it is confusing. But our system will not let me continue without the extra ticket.” Jason took a deep breath and checked his wallet. Inside were a few bills, a credit card, and a hope that he could somehow fix this. He turned to the agent, “I don’t have enough money right now. The ticket costs…?” She tapped the screen. “Seven hundred forty-nine dollars.” He swallowed hard and whispered, “I do not…” He felt his face going red as he stepped back from the counter. He bent down and hugged his daughter close. “Sweetie, I need to make a quick call,” he said. Then he walked away, with phone in hand, his steps slow and heavy. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 While Jason stood a few feet away, a kind-looking woman came to the counter. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The woman smiled and shook her head, saying “You don’t need to repay me.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
