Tonight, I want to share how we can use art to spread the word about the changing climate in our day to day lives. The loss of local wildlife due to pollution can be hard to see. We know our river is not clean, but we don't see the fish that are no longer there. So I decided to do something to make this invisible loss visible. I started an art project called fading away. We painted huge, colorful pictures of the fish and birds that used to live in our city on the walls of buildings along the river bank. But here's the key. We used a special heat sensitive paint on cool days. The animals in the pictures are bright and beautiful, but as the temperature rises on hot summary days, the paint slowly fades and the animals seem to disappear rate before your eyes. This shows people directly how the changing environment threatens our local wildlife. The project has already had a real world effect. The disappearing animals started a powerful conversation in our community, and IT inspired the creation of a new volunteer group, friends of the city, which now organizes clean up activities every month.

B On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories. “By the time we closed on the 20th, we had received 500 human-written stories and 700 AI-written ones,” said editor-in-chief Neil Clarke. “It was increasing at such a speed that we figured that by the end of the month, we would have doubled the number of articles we normally have. The rate had been growing from previous months, and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.” Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November, 2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories. Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is not lost on him. “You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept. Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor. 24. What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld? A. It will close down forever. B. It was targeted by AI writers. C. It stopped paying contributors. D. It has lost many good authors. 25. What can we infer about other magazines’ attitude to the AI-written stories? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Unknown. D. Tolerant. 26. What does Neil Clarke say about science fiction? A. It often intends to find some solutions. B. It welcomes the existing new technologies. C. It will accept AI-written stories in the near future. D. It often tries to warn the dark side of technologies. 27. Where is this text most likely from? A. A notice. B. A science fiction. C. A news report. D. A book review. C It’s one of Hollywood’s favorite bits of pseudoscience (伪科学): human beings use only 10percent of their brain, and awakening the remaining 90 percent — supposedly dormant — allows otherwise ordinary human beings to display extraordinary mental abilities. How do we know? For one thing, if we needed only 10 percent of our brain, the majority of brain injuries would have no discernible (明显的) consequences, since the damage would affect parts of the brain that weren’t doing anything to begin with. We also know that natural selection discourages the development of useless structures: early humans who devoted scarce physical resources to growing and maintaining huge amounts of excess brain tissue would have been outcompeted by those who spent those precious resources on things more necessary for survival and reproductive success. Tougher immune systems, stronger muscles, better looking hair —just about anything would be more useful than having a head full of lazy tissue. We’ve been able to back up these logical conclusions with hard evidence. Imaging techniques allow doctors and scientists to map brain activity in real time. The data clearly shows that large areas of the brain — far more than 10 percent — are used for all sorts of activity, easy or complex. Scientists have yet to find an area of the brain that doesn’t do anything. So how did we come to believe that 90 percent of our brain is useless? The myth (错误看法) is often incorrectly attributed to 19th-century psychologist William James, who proposed that most of our mental potential goes untapped. But he never specified a percentage. In reality, the concept most likely came from the American self-help industry. One of the earliest mentions appears in the preface to Dale Carnegie’s 1936mega best seller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Obviously, this is bad news for anyone hoping to find the secret to becoming a genius overnight. The good news, though, is that hard work still works. There is plenty of reason to believe that you can build brainpower by regularly working at challenging mental tasks, such as playing a musical instrument, doing arithmetic, or reading a novel. 28. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Inactive. B. Dead. C. Dynamic. D. Sleepy. 29. How does the second paragraph doubt the idea that human beings use only 10 percent of their brain? A. By raising a question. B. By making comparisons. C. By listing figures. D. By giving real examples. 30. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the last three paragraphs? A. Completing hard tasks enables to improve the brainpower. B. Almost every area of the brain is used more or less. C. The pseudoscience was created and spread by psychologist William James. D. Imaging techniques help to reveal how many areas are used for different activities. 31. Which is the best title of the passage? A. How should we make good use of our brain? B. Do we really use only 10 percent of our brain? C. Can making good use of our brain help us be a genius overnight? D. Do we really need to use every area of our brain in daily lives? D Tipping has long been a widely accepted social norm in North America. But now more and more people are feeling tip fatigue from being “forced” to tip more frequently. Some consumers are posting on social media complaining about tip requests at restaurants. Others say they’re tired of being asked to leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee. What’s next, they wonder — are we going to be tipping our doctors and dentists, too? As more businesses start to include digital forms of payment, customers are automatically being asked to leave a tip — many times as high as 30% — at places they normally wouldn’t. And some say it has become more frustrating as the price of items has skyrocketed due to inflation (通货膨胀). The digital requests can produce social pressure and are more difficult to avoid. In the past, shoppers could easily ignore tip jars if they didn’t have any spare change. Nowadays, your generosity — or lack of it — can be laid bare for anyone close enough to glance at the screen — including the workers themselves. Tipping was born in the Middle Ages in Europe, a custom where servants would receive an extra tip from their masters for excellent performance. Tips were left in European pubs to ensure quick and good service. Wealthy Americans discovered the tradition for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s and they brought it back to the states as a way to feel noble. Traditionally, consumers have taken pride in being good tippers at places like restaurants, which typically pay their workers lower than the minimum wage. But many consumers are now feeling annoyed by automatic tip requests at coffee shops and other counter service eateries where tipping has not typically been expected. The pandemic has also sped up the trend towards more tipping. Michael Lynn, a consumer behavior professor, said consumers were more generous with tips during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were showing support for workers who held jobs that put them more at risk of catching the virus. Tips at full-service restaurants grew by 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, while tips at quick or counter service restaurants went up 16.7% compared to the same time period in 2021, according to data. This data shows that this same period has been experiencing continuous growth since 2019. 32. Which of the following is a reason why many consumers are feeling tip fatigue? A. Consumers often have to pay tips for some simple services. B. The inflation could provide people with more chances to tip. C. Consumers are worried they have to tip doctors in the future. D. The digital forms of payment allow customers to tip freely. 33. The digital forms of payment have ______. A. made tipping less than a choice B. decreased the frequency of tipping C. reduced social pressure related to tipping D. removed the need for tipping altogether 34. Why did wealthy Americans adopt the tipping tradition from Europe? A. To reward excellent performance by people. B. To ensure quick and good service in pubs. C. To support workers during financial crises. D. To showcase that they are people of high social rank. 35. The last two paragraphs mainly talk about ______. A. the history and origins of tipping in Europe and America B. the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic on tipping trends C. variation in tipping habits in different types of restaurants D. social pressure and frustration caused by digital tipping 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Giving Old Buildings a New Life Walking through cities, we often see old buildings standing quietly.

One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it. The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely. By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone. Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband. By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand. There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 辽宁省实验中学2026届高三第二次模拟考试 英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 试题满分：150分 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每题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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will the woman probably do next?

What is the reason for the project “Fading Away”? A. The rapid city development. B. The unseen wildlife loss. C. The polluted local rivers. 19. What is special about the paint? A. It reacts to heat. B. It shines at night. C. It disappears in water. 20. What does the success of this project indicate? A. Art can inspire community action. B. Environmental problems are solvable. C. The local government should support artists. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. A 【解析】 【原文】 M: Good evening. Tonight, I want to share how we can use art to spread the word about the changing climate. In our day-to-day lives, the loss of local wildlife due to pollution can be hard to see. We know our river is not clean, but we don’t see the fish that are no longer there. So, I decided to do something to make this invisible loss visible. I started an art project called “Fading Away”. We painted huge, colorful pictures of the fish and birds that used to live in our city on the walls of buildings along the riverbank. But here’s the key: we used a special, heat-sensitive paint. On cool days, the animals in the pictures are bright and beautiful. But as the temperature rises on hot summer days, the paint slowly fades, and the animals seem to disappear right before your eyes. This shows people directly how the changing environment threatens our local wildlife. The project has already had a real-world effect. The “disappearing” animals started a powerful conversation in our community, and it inspired the creation of a new volunteer group, “Friends of the City”, which now organizes clean-up activities every month. 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A，B，C，D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A COASTAL CLEANUP INITIATIVE Help protect marine life by removing plastic waste and debris from coastal areas along Golden Bay.

The rate had been growing from previous months, and we were concerned that we had to do something to stop it.” Worries about AI misuse have frequently appeared in headlines recently, particularly since the launch of ChatGPT in November, 2022, which can not only answer a broad range of questions, but also create original poems and stories. Clarke said magazines like his, which pay contributors for their work, were being targeted by people trying to make quick money. He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles. He also admitted that the humor of his sci-fi magazine being targeted by AI robots is not lost on him. “You know, our mascot (吉祥物) is a robot. So we see the irony,” he said. “But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept. Clarke said the magazine didn’t know how to deal with the issue, and part of the motivation to speak out was in the hope of finding some solutions. He also said the quality of the AI-written stories was very poor. 24. What’s the matter with the magazine Clarkesworld? A. It will close down forever. B. It was targeted by AI writers. C It stopped paying contributors. D. It has lost many good authors. 25. What can we infer about other magazines’ attitude to the AI-written stories? A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Unknown. D. Tolerant. 26. What does Neil Clarke say about science fiction? A. It often intends to find some solutions. B. It welcomes the existing new technologies. C. It will accept AI-written stories in the near future. D. It often tries to warn the dark side of technologies. 27. Where is this text most likely from? A. A notice. B. A science fiction. C. A news report. D. A book review. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。报道介绍了享誉全球的科幻杂志Clarkesworld最近受AI作品的影响，不得不暂停接受新稿件。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。第一段提到“On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.”（2月20日，科幻杂志《克拉克世界》被迫停止接受任何作家的新文章，因为它被人工智能撰写的故事淹没了。）由此判断，Clarkesworld是被AI写手逼得不得不暂停接受新稿件。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。第四段提到“He said he had already spoken to editors of other magazines and that all of them had agreed to stop accepting AI-written articles.”（他说，他已经和其他杂志的编辑谈过，他们都同意停止接受人工智能撰写的文章。）由此判断，其他杂志对AI生成的作品持否定态度。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。第五段提到“‘But the thing is that science fiction is often intended to give a warning to people. We don’t celebrate technology just because it exists. We want to make sure that we’re using it right. And there are some significant legal and moral issues around this technology that we’re not ready to accept.’”（但问题是，科幻小说往往是为了给人们一个警告。我们不会因为技术的存在而赞美它。我们要确保我们正确地使用它。关于这项技术，有一些重大的法律和道德问题，我们还没有准备好接受。）由此判断，Neil Clarke认为科幻杂志经常试图警告技术的黑暗面。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。第一段提到“On February 20, the science fiction magazine Clarkesworld was forced to stop accepting any new articles from writers after it was flooded with AI-written stories.”（2月20日，科幻杂志《克拉克世界》被迫停止接受任何作家的新文章，因为它被人工智能撰写的故事淹没了。）文章第一段中交代了事情发生的时间，由此判断，这是一篇新闻报道。故选C。 C It’s one of Hollywood’s favorite bits of pseudoscience (伪科学): human beings use only 10percent of their brain, and awakening the remaining 90 percent — supposedly dormant — allows otherwise ordinary human beings to display extraordinary mental abilities. How do we know? For one thing, if we needed only 10 percent of our brain, the majority of brain injuries would have no discernible (明显的) consequences, since the damage would affect parts of the brain that weren’t doing anything to begin with. We also know that natural selection discourages the development of useless structures: early humans who devoted scarce physical resources to growing and maintaining huge amounts of excess brain tissue would have been outcompeted by those who spent those precious resources on things more necessary for survival and reproductive success. Tougher immune systems, stronger muscles, better looking hair —just about anything would be more useful than having a head full of lazy tissue. We’ve been able to back up these logical conclusions with hard evidence. Imaging techniques allow doctors and scientists to map brain activity in real time. The data clearly shows that large areas of the brain — far more than 10 percent — are used for all sorts of activity, easy or complex. Scientists have yet to find an area of the brain that doesn’t do anything. So how did we come to believe that 90 percent of our brain is useless? The myth (错误看法) is often incorrectly attributed to 19th-century psychologist William James, who proposed that most of our mental potential goes untapped. But he never specified a percentage. In reality, the concept most likely came from the American self-help industry. One of the earliest mentions appears in the preface to Dale Carnegie’s 1936mega best seller, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Obviously, this is bad news for anyone hoping to find the secret to becoming a genius overnight. The good news, though, is that hard work still works. There is plenty of reason to believe that you can build brainpower by regularly working at challenging mental tasks, such as playing a musical instrument, doing arithmetic, or reading a novel. 28. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Inactive. B. Dead. C. Dynamic. D. Sleepy. 29. How does the second paragraph doubt the idea that human beings use only 10 percent of their brain? A. By raising a question. B. By making comparisons. C. By listing figures. D. By giving real examples. 30. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the last three paragraphs? A. Completing hard tasks enables to improve the brainpower. B. Almost every area of the brain is used more or less. C. The pseudoscience was created and spread by psychologist William James. D. Imaging techniques help to reveal how many areas are used for different activities. 31. Which is the best title of the passage? A. How should we make good use of our brain? B. Do we really use only 10 percent of our brain? C. Can making good use of our brain help us be a genius overnight? D. Do we really need to use every area of our brain in daily lives? 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要论述了“人类只使用了大脑的10%”这一观点的错误之处以及这一观点的出处以及提高大脑智力的方法。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“human beings use only 10percent of their brain, and awakening the remaining 90 percent”可知，人类只使用了大脑的10%，说明剩下的90%是不活跃状态。故划线词意思是“不活跃的”。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“How do we know? For one thing, if we needed only 10 percent of our brain, the majority of brain injuries would have no discernible (明显的) consequences, since the damage would affect parts of the brain that weren’t doing anything to begin with. We also know that natural selection discourages the development of useless structures: early humans who devoted scarce physical resources to growing and maintaining huge amounts of excess brain tissue would have been outcompeted by those who spent those precious resources on things more necessary for survival and reproductive success. Tougher immune systems, stronger muscles, better looking hair —just about anything would be more useful than having a head full of lazy tissue.(我们怎么知道的？首先，如果我们只需要10%的大脑，大多数脑损伤就不会有明显的后果，因为损伤会影响到大脑中本来没有任何功能的部分。我们还知道，自然选择不鼓励无用结构的发展：早期人类将稀缺的体力用于生长和维持大量多余的脑组织，而那些将宝贵的资源用于生存和繁殖成功更必要的事情的人，将会在竞争中被淘汰。更强健的免疫系统，更强健的肌肉，更好看的头发——任何东西都比脑袋里满是懒惰的组织更有用)”可知，第二段通过对比来质疑人类只使用了大脑的10%这个观点。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The myth (错误看法) is often incorrectly attributed to 19th-century psychologist William James, who proposed that most of our mental potential goes untapped. But he never specified a percentage.(这个神话经常被错误地归因于19世纪的心理学家威廉·詹姆斯，他提出我们的大部分心理潜力尚未开发。但他从未具体说明百分比)”可知，C选项“伪科学是由心理学家威廉·詹姆斯创造和传播的”不正确。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“It’s one of Hollywood’s favorite bits of pseudoscience(伪科学): human beings use only 10percent of their brain, and awakening the remaining 90 percent—supposedly dormant—allows otherwise ordinary human beings to display extraordinary mental abilities.(这是好莱坞最喜欢的伪科学之一：人类只使用了大脑的10%，唤醒剩下的90%——据说是休眠的——让普通人展现出非凡的精神能力)”结合文章主要论述了“人类只使用了大脑的10%”这一观点的错误之处以及这一观点的出处以及提高大脑智力的方法。可知，B选项“我们真的只使用了大脑的10%吗？”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Tipping has long been a widely accepted social norm in North America. But now more and more people are feeling tip fatigue from being “forced” to tip more frequently. Some consumers are posting on social media complaining about tip requests at restaurants. Others say they’re tired of being asked to leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee. What’s next, they wonder — are we going to be tipping our doctors and dentists, too? As more businesses start to include digital forms of payment, customers are automatically being asked to leave a tip — many times as high as 30% — at places they normally wouldn’t. And some say it has become more frustrating as the price of items has skyrocketed due to inflation (通货膨胀). The digital requests can produce social pressure and are more difficult to avoid. In the past, shoppers could easily ignore tip jars if they didn’t have any spare change. Nowadays, your generosity — or lack of it — can be laid bare for anyone close enough to glance at the screen — including the workers themselves. Tipping was born in the Middle Ages in Europe, a custom where servants would receive an extra tip from their masters for excellent performance. Tips were left in European pubs to ensure quick and good service. Wealthy Americans discovered the tradition for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s and they brought it back to the states as a way to feel noble. Traditionally, consumers have taken pride in being good tippers at places like restaurants, which typically pay their workers lower than the minimum wage. But many consumers are now feeling annoyed by automatic tip requests at coffee shops and other counter service eateries where tipping has not typically been expected. The pandemic has also sped up the trend towards more tipping. Michael Lynn, a consumer behavior professor, said consumers were more generous with tips during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. They were showing support for workers who held jobs that put them more at risk of catching the virus. Tips at full-service restaurants grew by 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, while tips at quick or counter service restaurants went up 16.7% compared to the same time period in 2021, according to data. This data shows that this same period has been experiencing continuous growth since 2019. 32. Which of the following is a reason why many consumers are feeling tip fatigue? A. Consumers often have to pay tips for some simple services. B. The inflation could provide people with more chances to tip. C. Consumers are worried they have to tip doctors in the future. D. The digital forms of payment allow customers to tip freely. 33. The digital forms of payment have ______. A. made tipping less than a choice B. decreased the frequency of tipping C. reduced social pressure related to tipping D. removed the need for tipping altogether 34. Why did wealthy Americans adopt the tipping tradition from Europe? A. To reward excellent performance by people. B. To ensure quick and good service in pubs. C. To support workers during financial crises. D. To showcase that they are people of high social rank. 35. The last two paragraphs mainly talk about ______. A. the history and origins of tipping in Europe and America B. the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic on tipping trends C. variation in tipping habits in different types of restaurants D. social pressure and frustration caused by digital tipping 【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了欧美的小费日益增高，人们对此表现出小费厌倦。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Others say they’re tired of being asked to leave a tip for a simple cup of coffee. (其他人说，他们厌倦了被要求为简单的一杯咖啡留下小费。)”可知，消费者经常要为一些简单的服务付小费。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The digital requests can produce social pressure and are more difficult to avoid. In the past, shoppers could easily ignore tip jars if they didn’t have any spare change. Nowadays, your generosity — or lack of it — can be laid bare for anyone close enough to glance at the screen — including the workers themselves. (数字请求会产生社会压力，更难避免。过去，如果购物者没有多余的零钱，他们可以很容易地忽略小费。如今，你的慷慨——或缺乏慷慨——可以暴露给任何靠近屏幕的人，包括工人自己。)”可知，在电子支付盛行的今天，是否慷慨 (给的小费金额)，赤裸裸地展示在屏幕上，任何可以看到屏幕的人都知道，并无隐私而言，而是带有一定的强制性。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Wealthy Americans discovered the tradition for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s and they brought it back to the states as a way to feel noble. (19世纪五六十年代，富有的美国人自己发现了这一传统，并将其带回美国，作为一种彰显高贵的方式。)”可知，富有的美国人采用欧洲的小费传统是为了彰显他们高贵的身份。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“The pandemic has also sped up the trend towards more tipping. Michael Lynn, a consumer behavior professor, said consumers were more generous with tips during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. (疫情也加速了更多小费的趋势。消费者行为教授迈克尔·林恩表示，在新冠疫情初期，消费者给的小费更多。)”以及最后一段“Tips at full-service restaurants grew by 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, while tips at quick or counter service restaurants went up 16.7% compared to the same time period in 2021, according to data. This data shows that this same period has been experiencing continuous growth since 2019. (数据显示，2022年第三季度，全服务餐厅的小费增长了25.3%，而快速或柜台服务餐厅的小费与2021年同期相比增长了16.7%。这些数据表明，自2019年以来，这一时期一直在持续增长。)”可知，最后两段主要讲述了新冠疫情对小费趋势的影响。故选B。 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Giving Old Buildings a New Life Walking through cities, we often see old buildings standing quietly. Sadly, many are forgotten, falling apart, and their stories fading away. ____36____ Fortunately, Chinese cities are finding creative ways to revive them.

One warm spring day, a little dog followed them home after school. It had short legs and long lovely ears, with a fawn-colored coat. It was the cutest dog I had ever seen and the girls begged me to keep it. The dog was barely twelve weeks old. It had no collar or identifying marks of any sort. I didn’t know what to do. I thought about running an advertisement in the lost-and-found but I really didn’t want to. It would break the kids’ hearts if someone should show up. Besides, its owners should have watched it more closely. By the end of the week the dog was part of our family. It was very intelligent and good with the girls. The following week something told me to check the lost-and-found section in the local paper. One particular advertisement jumped out at me and my heart pounded with fear at what I read. Someone was begging for the return of a lost dog in the neighborhood of our grade school. They sounded desperate. My hand shook. I couldn’t bring myself to pick up the phone. Instead, I pretended I hadn’t seen the advertisement. I quickly put paper away in the drawer and continued with my dusting. I never said a word about it to the kids or my husband. By now we had named the dog. It looked like a Molly, so that was what we called it. It followed the girls everywhere they went. When they went outside, it was one step behind them. When they did housework, it was there to lend a hand. There was only one problem with this otherwise perfect picture: my conscience (良心) was bothering me. I knew in my heart I had to call that number and see if our Molly was the dog they were desperately seeking. It was the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With mixed feelings, I finally picked up the phone. Anxious yet determined, I dialed the number, my fingers trembling slightly. It didn’t take long before a young woman’s voice came through the receiver. No sooner had she heard my detailed description of the fawn-colored puppy than she choked up, insisting on coming over at once. Thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang, with Molly’s excited barks echoing through the house. Reluctant though I was, I opened the door, forcing myself to face the moment of goodbye. I asked the woman to come in and she quickly bent over and hugged Molly tightly. Tears of joy streamed down her face as Molly licked her cheeks. The girls, who had been peeking from behind the sofa, stepped out slowly, their eyes glistening with tears. Much to our relief, the woman promised she would bring Molly to our home at weekends. Before they left, the woman extended her heartfelt gratitude. This experience served as a constant reminder that doing the right thing — even when it hurts — brings the peace that comes from following our conscience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿们在放学回家的路上发现了一只没有项圈的可爱小狗，并恳求留下它。尽管作者考虑过寻找狗的主人，但出于对孩子感受的顾虑及对狗主人疏忽的不满，最终还是让狗成为了家庭的一员，并给它取名为莫莉。随后，作者在报纸上看到了寻找这只狗的启事，内心陷入挣扎，既想保护家庭的快乐，又感到归还狗的道德责任。最终，作者意识到必须联系狗的主人，承认这是她做过的最艰难的决定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我百感交集，终于拿起了电话。”可知，第一段可描写作者在做出决定后的行动以及与狗主人联系上后的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“我请那位女士进来，她迅速弯下腰紧紧地拥抱了莫莉。”可知，第二段可描写狗主人与小狗重逢时的感人场景，以及双方家庭在告别中的情感交流与和解。 2.续写线索：打电话——确认信息——失主到来——认领狗——还狗 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打电话：dial the number/make a phone call ②过来：come over/come along ③离开：leave/depart 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] No sooner had she heard my detailed description of the fawn-colored puppy than she choked up, insisting on coming over at once.
