Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist. Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12 Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to recreate dinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked. Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13 This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration-thousands of years ago, when people began star observation-and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days. Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and older If you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tears of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects. Journey Into the InvisibLe by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9 - 12 If you use a magnifying glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20 000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer. 1. Beyond the Solar System is mainly about ________. A. space exploration B. the Milky Way C. history lessons D. Albert Einstein’s universe 2. From the passage, we can learn that ________. A. butterflies are fond of the tears of Asian cattle B. scientists have discovered the dinosaur’s coloring C. microscopes can present you with an amazing world D. man has explored the black hole for thousands of years 3. The main purpose of the passage is to ________. A. compare features of different books B. inspire people to become scientists C. teach children some knowledge of science D. recommend new science books to children B There’s nothing like a St. Petersburg sunset — a fire of hot pink and orange beneath a sea of deep blue. It eclipses the bustling downtown, the palmy pier, and the enormous dome of Tropicana Field. For a moment, the city traffic stops, and everyone takes it all in. Sunsets won’t be the same after Hurricane Milton. Hurricane Milton was a history-defining moment for St. Petersburg. The monster storm destroyed my city —flooding its once-lively streets, toppling cranes from the sky, and plunging millions into darkness. I sheltered with my family in a flat-roofed office building on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. It wasn’t in a flood zone and was far from the ocean. We blocked the glass doors with sandbags and brought essentials from our home — water bottles, portable snacks, flashlights, and the usual hurricane safety kit. At first, we played card games with the news on in the background. Outside, gusts picked up to about 35–50 mph, and rain pounded the roof. Puddles swelled with the downpour, and occasionally, a large branch would slam onto the empty roads. Transformers and power lines exploded into fireworks of bright yellow. Water rose rapidly and gusts became 90 — 110 mph cyclonic winds. Debris swirled in the floodwaters. At 10 pm, the storm’s peak, water reached the curb. Trees broke easily, the roof creaked threateningly, and as the door grew harder to open, we hoped our building would stay dry. The day after Milton, I passed through Madeira Beach, a lively beach town on the Gulf shore. People lived in those homes, drove on those roads and relaxed on that beach. Madeira Beach is where memories were made, where people had fun. Now, it looked uninhabitable. I couldn’t tell whether the mountains of debris were from Milton. The roads had turned into sand dunes, and the traffic lights dangled while branches hung half-torn from trees. And now that I’ve had a chance to recover emotionally, I have to ask: How many more lessons do we need? How many near misses can we take before lawmakers finally say, “Enough is enough?” How many people must die before action is taken? And will anything even change after Milton? 4. Why does the author describe St. Petersburg’s sunset first? A. To attract more tourists to the city. B. To highlight its symbolic beauty. C. To introduce the topic of Hurricane Milton. D. To prepare readers for a story about tourism. 5 How did the author react to coming Milton at first? A. Documenting the storm scientifically. B. Staying calm after necessary precautions. C. Feeling panicked and evacuating immediately. D. Being skeptical about the severity of the storm. 6. How does the author describe the effect of Milton on Madeira Beach? A. By quoting experts. B. By making comparisons. C. By using onlookers’ observations. D. By citing official damage statistics. 7. What do the questions in the last paragraph illustrate? A. A strong appeal for international aid. B. A deep frustration with climate change. C. A call for action against climate change. D. A detailed recovery plan for the future. C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? D Cognitive dissonance, a concept introduced by psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, refers to the mental discomfort experienced when a person engages in actions that conflict with their self-perception. According to Festinger’s theory, individuals are motivated to reduce this discomfort by altering their beliefs, justifying their behavior, or avoiding contradictory information. For example, a student who spends excessive money on a new smartphone but later regrets it might convince themselves, “This phone is worth it because it improves my study efficiency,” even if evidence suggests otherwise. This rationalization helps reduce the dissonance between their action (spending money) and their belief (saving money is wise). Another common example is a smoker who knows cigarettes harm health but continues smoking. To ease the discomfort, they might tell themselves, “Smoking helps me relax, and stress is worse for my health anyway.” Here, the contradiction between their behavior (smoking) and knowledge (health risks) drives them to invent justifications. Research shows cognitive dissonance can influence decision-making in areas like health, ethics, and consumer behavior. In a classic experiment, participants who were paid $ 1 to lie about a boring task being enjoyable later reported greater enjoyment of the task than those paid $ 20. Festinger argued that those paid $ 1 experienced stronger dissonance (lying for little reward) and thus adjusted their attitude to be in line with their behavior. While cognitive dissonance theory has been widely applied, critics note that cultural factors may affect how individuals cope with contradictions. For example, in cultures that value group unity (like many Asian societies), people may focus more on avoiding conflict with others than on sticking to their own beliefs. 12. What is cognitive dissonance mainly about? A. A method to enhance decision-making skills and reduce stress. B. Mental stress caused by conflicts between beliefs and actions. C. Cultural variations in solving inner contradictions from views. D. Avoiding truths that cause personal discomfort or pressure. 13. The word “rationalization” in Paragraph 2 most likely means . A admitting personal mistakes openly B. developing logical plans carefully C. balancing different choices fairly D. inventing seemingly sound excuses 14. Why did participants paid $1 in the experiment report enjoying the task more? A. They found the task genuinely interesting. B. They wanted to please the researchers. C. They needed to justify their low reward. D. They were influenced by peer pressure. 15. In collectivist cultures, how might individuals handle cognitive dissonance? A. They focus on changing personal beliefs over consistency actions. B. They prioritize maintaining group harmony over personal views. C They avoid all situations that cause mental discomfort. D. They rely on financial benefits to justify contradictions. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world that often feels fast-paced and restrained to routines, the desire for van (房车) life and mobile living has captured the hearts of many seeking an alternative lifestyle. ____16____ From the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating advantages of embracing van life.

Xiaowen posted his daily vlog online, in which he wore a contagious smile and stammered, “It is my 20th day of food delivery and I’m working hard to earn money for my cochlear implantation (耳蜗植入手术) !” Recognized as the only means to restore hearing and language ability for people with extremely severe neurological deafness, cochlear implantation involves conducting risky surgery where doctors will put a built-in device in the patient’s head behind the ear and fitting the patient with a wearable signal-receiving device, like an earphone, one month after the surgery. Meanwhile, it costs as high as 300,000 yuan, or over 100,000 yuan when social security reimburses part of it. In Xiaowen’s case, it would mean 10 years of delivery when he just made approximately 100 yuan a day. Worse still, hearing-impaired, Xiaowen had several narrow escapes with death at the intersection on the roads because he couldn’t hear the horn of the cars behind him! He sighed with a heavy heart when customers complained about his inability to speak on the phone to inform them of the arrival of a delivery. Even so, Xiaowen kindly refused people’s fat tips but accepted their apologies when they found out about his disability. Born in an ordinary family, Xiaowen, the little chubby boy, was diagnosed with congenital hearing impairment. This was like a bolt from the blue, breaking the family’s beautiful vision of Xiaowen’s future. But it didn’t bring down Xiaowen’s mother. Fearing that Xiaowen couldn’t understand teachers’ instructions, she was always patiently there to help him with lip-reading and guide him to express himself bravely. Thanks to mom, Xiaowen has grown into a self-reliant adult who wouldn’t reap without sowing. One day, Xiaowen watched his mother singing and said with a lisp, “Mom, you must have the most beautiful voice in the world!” “Dear, how I wish you could hear mommy and sing with me...” Mom eyed Xiaowen with tender love, a trace of sorrow flashing over her face. It would be just a long, long time before they could pay that much money. Mr. B, a well-known blogger, is devoted to charity causes. He and his team happened to see Xiaowen’s posts and they followed him online and decided to help him. 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。 Mr. B invited Xiaowen and his mom to his office and told them the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, Xiaowen and his mom went to the hospital to try out the signal-receiving device. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度（上）阶段性考试（一） 高2023级 英语 第I卷 (共95分) 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分） 做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 （共5小题；每小题1. 5分，共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.

Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.(这本书解释了显微镜的作用，接着展示了用这一神奇的科学工具观察时，家里周围的事物会发生怎样的变化。当你口腔里的细菌被放大20000倍时，它们看起来有点像游泳用的泡沫浮条。书中配有引人入胜的照片，同时还就如何通过更细致的观察来了解你周围的世界给出了建议)”可推知，从文章中我们可以了解到显微镜能让你看到一个神奇的世界。故选C。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.(这里有一个适合每个人的科学领域，这些很酷的新书可能会激发你发现自己内心的科学家)”以及后文对四本书的介绍可知，文章的主要目的是向孩子们推荐新的科学书籍。故选D。 B There’s nothing like a St. Petersburg sunset — a fire of hot pink and orange beneath a sea of deep blue. It eclipses the bustling downtown the palmy pier, and the enormous dome of Tropicana Field. For a moment, the city traffic stops, and everyone takes it all in. Sunsets won’t be the same after Hurricane Milton. Hurricane Milton was a history-defining moment for St. Petersburg. The monster storm destroyed my city —flooding its once-lively streets, toppling cranes from the sky, and plunging millions into darkness. I sheltered with my family in a flat-roofed office building on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. It wasn’t in a flood zone and was far from the ocean. We blocked the glass doors with sandbags and brought essentials from our home — water bottles, portable snacks, flashlights, and the usual hurricane safety kit. At first, we played card games with the news on in the background. Outside, gusts picked up to about 35–50 mph, and rain pounded the roof. Puddles swelled with the downpour, and occasionally, a large branch would slam onto the empty roads. Transformers and power lines exploded into fireworks of bright yellow. Water rose rapidly and gusts became 90 — 110 mph cyclonic winds. Debris swirled in the floodwaters. At 10 pm, the storm’s peak, water reached the curb. Trees broke easily, the roof creaked threateningly, and as the door grew harder to open, we hoped our building would stay dry. The day after Milton, I passed through Madeira Beach, a lively beach town on the Gulf shore. People lived in those homes, drove on those roads and relaxed on that beach. Madeira Beach is where memories were made, where people had fun. Now, it looked uninhabitable. I couldn’t tell whether the mountains of debris were from Milton. The roads had turned into sand dunes, and the traffic lights dangled while branches hung half-torn from trees. And now that I’ve had a chance to recover emotionally, I have to ask: How many more lessons do we need? How many near misses can we take before lawmakers finally say, “Enough is enough?” How many people must die before action is taken? And will anything even change after Milton? 4. Why does the author describe St. Petersburg’s sunset first? A. To attract more tourists to the city. B. To highlight its symbolic beauty. C. To introduce the topic of Hurricane Milton. D. To prepare readers for a story about tourism. 5. How did the author react to coming Milton at first? A Documenting the storm scientifically. B. Staying calm after necessary precautions. C. Feeling panicked and evacuating immediately. D. Being skeptical about the severity of the storm. 6. How does the author describe the effect of Milton on Madeira Beach? A. By quoting experts. B. By making comparisons. C. By using onlookers’ observations. D. By citing official damage statistics. 7. What do the questions in the last paragraph illustrate? A. A strong appeal for international aid. B. A deep frustration with climate change. C. A call for action against climate change. D. A detailed recovery plan for the future. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章先描绘圣彼得堡美丽的日落，再讲述飓风米尔顿摧毁城市的过程，作者一家避难的经历，以及飓风后马德拉海滩的惨状，最后以反问呼吁对气候变化采取行动。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“There’s nothing like a St. Petersburg sunset — a fire of hot pink and orange beneath a sea of deep blue. It eclipse the bustling downtown, the palmy pier, and the enormous dome of Tropicana Field. For a moment, the city traffic stops, and everyone takes it all in. Sunsets won’t be the same after Hurricane Milton.(没有什么能比得上圣彼得堡的日落景色——一片炽热的粉红与橙色交织的光芒，映衬在深蓝色的天空之下。它将喧嚣的市中心、棕榈环绕的码头以及特罗皮卡纳球场那巨大的穹顶都笼罩在其中。那一刻，城市的交通也停滞了，所有人都静静地欣赏着这美景。在飓风米尔顿过后，日落的景象将不再如从前这般了)”并结合下文提到“米尔顿飓风”对城市和市民的影响可知，作者先描写圣彼得堡的日落景象以此来引出“米尔顿飓风”这一话题。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I sheltered with my family in a flat-roofed office building on the outskirts of St. Petersburg. It wasn’t in a flood zone and was far from the ocean. We blocked the glass doors with sandbags and brought essentials from our home — water bottles, portable snacks, flashlights, and the usual hurricane safety kit.(我与家人一起在圣彼得堡郊区的一座平顶办公楼里避难。这里不在洪水区域，离大海也很远。我们用沙袋堵住了玻璃门，并从家里带上了必需品——水瓶、便携式零食、手电筒以及常见的飓风安全用品包)”可知，面对即将到来的米尔顿飓风，作者起初在做好必要防范后保持冷静。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The day after Milton, I passed through Madeira Beach, a lively beach town on the Gulf shore. People lived in those homes, drove on those roads and relaxed on that beach. Madeira Beach is where memories were made, where people had fun. Now, it looked uninhabitable. I couldn’t tell whether the mountains of debris were from Milton. The roads had turned into sand dunes, and the traffic lights dangled while branches hung half-torn from trees.(在米尔顿飓风发生后的第二天，我来到了马德拉海滩。那是一个位于海湾边的热闹海滨小镇。人们住在那些房子里，行驶在那些公路上，在那片海滩上休闲放松。马德拉海滩曾是人们留下美好回忆、享受欢乐时光的地方。如今，它看起来已无法居住。我无法确定那些堆积如山的废墟是否来自米尔顿事件。道路已变成了沙丘，交通信号灯摇摇欲坠，树枝从树上折断下来，半截悬在空中)”可知，作者通过对比描述米尔顿飓风对马德拉海滩的影响。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“And now that I’ve had a chance to recover emotionally, I have to ask: How many more lessons do we need? How many near misses can we take before lawmakers finally say, “Enough is enough?” How many people must die before action is taken? And will anything even change after Milton?(如今我已得以从情绪上恢复过来，所以不得不问：我们还需要经历多少次惨痛教训？在立法者们最终发出“够了，不能再这样下去了”的呼声之前，我们还能遭遇多少次险些酿成大祸的情况？究竟要有多少人丧生，政府才会采取行动？而到了米尔顿飓风之后，一切还会有所改变吗？)”可知，最后一段的问题体现了作者呼吁采取行动应对气候变化。故选C。 C New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? Technology is everywhere nowadays, especially at work. Some people are really good at using all the cool new tools that keep popping up. They have something called TQ, or technology quotient. It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. The examples are common and becoming more and more frequent. For the parent it might be a home-school video class. For the brand manager it might be search engine boosting. And for the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. This adoption is critical from a variety of perspectives, from social to business. One trip into the world of ChatGPT and we can see how the dynamics of AI and search are changing for just about everyone. Any Mom or Dad can understand the value of IQ and EQ in projecting the potential for a child’s success. But what about technology? The ability for the child and the teacher to understand, embrace and adopt technology will be a defining aspect of their lives as we speed into the future. We are increasingly defined by technology and our active participation in everything from smart phones to Facebook. It might just be time for the basic human needs of food, water and shelter to incorporate (吸收) technology too. And when that happens, it just might be a good idea to measure it. While this shift brings challenges, it’s unstoppable. As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. 8. What is TQ according to the text? A. Speed of learning new languages. B. Skill of fixing high-tech products. C. Talent to follow modern changes. D. Ability to apply new technologies. 9. Which of the following people has a high TQ? A. A manager who often uses modern search engines. B. A doctor who analyzes CT scans with AI assistance. C. A grandparent who finds new tech devices awkward. D. A mom who watches videos of her child’s school life. 10. What’s the writer’s attitude towards TQ? A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Contradictory. 11. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Why Are IQ and EQ Important for TQ? B. How Has TQ Changed in the Modern Era? C. What Makes TQ the New Intelligence? D. Where to Start Adapting to TQ Changes? 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了TQ（科技商数）的概念，阐述了在科技无处不在的当今时代，理解和运用技术的能力（TQ）正变得与IQ和EQ一样重要，并将成为定义个人成功的关键因素。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It’s like a superpower for understanding the latest tech stuff that our great-grandparents would have found really impossible. Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (它就像一种超能力，能让人理解最新的科技事物——这些事物对我们的曾祖父母来说，无疑是难以想象的。拥有高技术商数（TQ），意味着你擅长运用那些眼下还未被所有人熟知的酷炫新事物)”以及第三段“TQ attempts to quantify our ability to make sensible use of current technologies and to quickly adapt, embrace and capitalize on future creations. (TQ试图量化我们合理利用现有技术、并快速适应、接纳和利用未来创造的能力)”可知，TQ指的是应用新技术的能力。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Having a high TQ means you’re awesome at using all the cool new things that not everyone knows about yet. (拥有高TQ意味着你非常擅长使用那些还不是人人都知道的新奇事物)”和第三段所举例子“For the clinician, it might be the role of artificial intelligence in supporting the analysis of a CT scan. (对临床医生来说，它可能是人工智能在辅助分析CT扫描中的作用)”可知，能够利用AI辅助分析CT扫描的医生，正是擅长运用前沿新技术的典型例子，因此他拥有高TQ。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段“As TQ rises, it will combine with IQ and EQ, reshaping how we live, work, and learn—turning adaptability with tech into a measurable edge. (随着TQ的提升，它将与IQ和EQ结合，重塑我们的生活、工作和学习方式——将对技术的适应能力转变为一种可衡量的优势)”可知，作者认为TQ的提升能带来竞争优势，并将其与IQ、EQ并列，视为未来成功的关键。因此作者对TQ持积极的态度。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“New era requires a new vocabulary. Will we still talk about the “mobile” phone when all phones are mobile, or when they are implanted (植入) within us? (新时代需要新的词汇。当所有手机都具备移动功能，或是当手机被植入我们体内时，我们还会称呼它为“移动”电话吗？)”并结合全文内容可知，文章开篇以新时代需要新词汇引出话题，接着第二段定义了TQ的概念，第三段举例说明TQ的应用并强调其重要性，第四段将其与IQ、EQ类比，指出其将成为定义未来成功的关键方面，末段总结TQ将结合IQ、EQ重塑我们的生活。全文核心围绕“是什么使TQ成为一种新的智力商数”展开。故选C项。 D Cognitive dissonance, a concept introduced by psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, refers to the mental discomfort experienced when a person engages in actions that conflict with their self-perception. According to Festinger’s theory, individuals are motivated to reduce this discomfort by altering their beliefs, justifying their behavior, or avoiding contradictory information. For example, a student who spends excessive money on a new smartphone but later regrets it might convince themselves, “This phone is worth it because it improves my study efficiency,” even if evidence suggests otherwise. This rationalization helps reduce the dissonance between their action (spending money) and their belief (saving money is wise). Another common example is a smoker who knows cigarettes harm health but continues smoking. To ease the discomfort, they might tell themselves, “Smoking helps me relax, and stress is worse for my health anyway.” Here, the contradiction between their behavior (smoking) and knowledge (health risks) drives them to invent justifications. Research shows cognitive dissonance can influence decision-making in areas like health, ethics, and consumer behavior. In a classic experiment, participants who were paid $ 1 to lie about a boring task being enjoyable later reported greater enjoyment of the task than those paid $ 20. Festinger argued that those paid $ 1 experienced stronger dissonance (lying for little reward) and thus adjusted their attitude to be in line with their behavior. While cognitive dissonance theory has been widely applied, critics note that cultural factors may affect how individuals cope with contradictions. For example, in cultures that value group unity (like many Asian societies), people may focus more on avoiding conflict with others than on sticking to their own beliefs. 12. What is cognitive dissonance mainly about? A. A method to enhance decision-making skills and reduce stress. B. Mental stress caused by conflicts between beliefs and actions. C. Cultural variations in solving inner contradictions from views. D. Avoiding truths that cause personal discomfort or pressure. 13. The word “rationalization” in Paragraph 2 most likely means . A. admitting personal mistakes openly B. developing logical plans carefully C. balancing different choices fairly D. inventing seemingly sound excuses 14. Why did participants paid $1 in the experiment report enjoying the task more? A. They found the task genuinely interesting. B. They wanted to please the researchers. C. They needed to justify their low reward. D. They were influenced by peer pressure. 15. In collectivist cultures, how might individuals handle cognitive dissonance? A. They focus on changing personal beliefs over consistency actions. B. They prioritize maintaining group harmony over personal views. C. They avoid all situations that cause mental discomfort. D. They rely on financial benefits to justify contradictions. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了认知失调的概念、例子、影响以及不同文化下的处理方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Cognitive dissonance, a concept introduced by psychologist Leon Festinger in 1957, refers to the mental discomfort experienced when a person engages in actions that conflict with their self-perception. (认知失调是由心理学家Leon Festinger在1957年提出的一个概念，指的是当一个人采取的行动与他们的自我认知相冲突时所经历的心理不适。)”可知，认知失调主要是关于信念和行动之间的冲突所引起的心理压力。故选B。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“For example, a student who spends excessive money on a new smartphone but later regrets it might convince themselves, “This phone is worth it because it improves my study efficiency,” even if evidence suggests otherwise. This rationalization helps reduce the dissonance between their action (spending money) and their belief (saving money is wise). (例如，一个学生在新智能手机上花了太多钱，但后来后悔了，他可能会说服自己：“这部手机值得买，因为它提高了我的学习效率。”即使有证据表明并非如此。这种rationalization有助于减少他们行动（花钱）和信念（存钱是明智的）之间的不和谐。)”可知，学生给自己找了一个看似合理的借口来减少不和谐，因此rationalization的意思是“创造看似合理的借口”。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“ In a classic experiment, participants who were paid $ 1 to lie about a boring task being enjoyable later reported greater enjoyment of the task than those paid $ 20. Festinger argued that those paid $ 1 experienced stronger dissonance (lying for little reward) and thus adjusted their attitude to be in line with their behavior.(在一个经典的实验中，那些被付1美元去说一个无聊的任务很有趣的人，后来报告说他们比那些被付20美元的人更享受这个任务。Festinger认为，那些得到1美元报酬的人经历了更强烈的不和谐（为了微薄的报酬而说谎），因此他们调整了自己的态度以符合自己的行为。)”可知，实验中支付1美元的参与者报告说更享受这项任务是因为他们需要为自己的低报酬找借口。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For example, in cultures that value group unity (like many Asian societies), people may focus more on avoiding conflict with others than on sticking to their own beliefs. (例如，在重视群体团结的文化中（如许多亚洲社会），人们可能更注重避免与他人发生冲突，而不是坚持自己的信念。)”可知，在集体主义文化中，个人可能更注重维护群体和谐，而不是坚持个人观点。故选B。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容,从文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In a world that often feels fast-paced and restrained to routines, the desire for van (房车) life and mobile living has captured the hearts of many seeking an alternative lifestyle. ____16____ From the freedom to explore new horizons to fostering a minimalist mindset, here are some captivating advantages of embracing van life.

Xiaowen posted his daily vlog online, in which he wore a contagious smile and stammered, “It is my 20th day of food delivery and I’m working hard to earn money for my cochlear implantation (耳蜗植入手术) !” Recognized as the only means to restore hearing and language ability for people with extremely severe neurological deafness, cochlear implantation involves conducting risky surgery where doctors will put a built-in device in the patient’s head behind the ear and fitting the patient with a wearable signal-receiving device, like an earphone, one month after the surgery. Meanwhile, it costs as high as 300,000 yuan, or over 100,000 yuan when social security reimburses part of it. In Xiaowen’s case, it would mean 10 years of delivery when he just made approximately 100 yuan a day. Worse still, hearing-impaired, Xiaowen had several narrow escapes with death at the intersection on the roads because he couldn’t hear the horn of the cars behind him! He sighed with a heavy heart when customers complained about his inability to speak on the phone to inform them of the arrival of a delivery. Even so, Xiaowen kindly refused people’s fat tips but accepted their apologies when they found out about his disability. Born in an ordinary family, Xiaowen, the little chubby boy, was diagnosed with congenital hearing impairment. This was like a bolt from the blue, breaking the family’s beautiful vision of Xiaowen’s future. But it didn’t bring down Xiaowen’s mother. Fearing that Xiaowen couldn’t understand teachers’ instructions, she was always patiently there to help him with lip-reading and guide him to express himself bravely. Thanks to mom, Xiaowen has grown into a self-reliant adult who wouldn’t reap without sowing. One day, Xiaowen watched his mother singing and said with a lisp, “Mom, you must have the most beautiful voice in the world!” “Dear, how I wish you could hear mommy and sing with me...” Mom eyed Xiaowen with tender love, a trace of sorrow flashing over her face. It would be just a long, long time before they could pay that much money. Mr. B, a well-known blogger, is devoted to charity causes. He and his team happened to see Xiaowen’s posts and they followed him online and decided to help him. 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。 Mr. B invited Xiaowen and his mom to his office and told them the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One month later, Xiaowen and his mom went to the hospital to try out the signal-receiving device. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mr. B invited Xiaowen and his mom to his office and told them the good news. He said that they’d like to offer money for the implantation. Surprised but grateful, Xiaowen declined the gesture at first, saying he shouldn’t take it without a reason. “But that’s the only way to restore your hearing. And you can return that favor afterwards if you insist!” Mr. B maintained that this upright and unyielding boy should be helped. Holding his mother’s hand, overwhelmed with gratitude, Xiaowen agreed to receive the offer. The operation, the first part of the implantation, went smoothly. With great anticipation, Xiaowen and his mother were waiting for the day when he could hear. One month later, Xiaowen and his mom went to the hospital to try out the signal-receiving device. The doctor placed the device around his right ear gently. “Beep!” The signal was sent out. Xiaowen shook slightly as if he’d been struck by electricity. “Xiaowen, can you hear mommy?” Mom softly called his name as instructed. Startled by the new voice, Xiaowen turned around and nodded yes, his throat tightening. Mom breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Xiaowen, happy tears welling up in her eyes. Everyone was touched and immersed in the joy of success. And miracles do happen to those who help themselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文是以人物为线索，本文讲述了一个名叫小文的聋哑人通过送外卖努力攒钱进行耳蜗植入手术的故事。小文的母亲一直在支持他，帮助他通过读唇理解老师的话，并鼓励他勇敢表达自己。一个名叫B先生的慈善博主看到了小文的帖子，决定帮助他。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“B先生邀请小文和他的妈妈到他的办公室，并告诉他们好消息。”可知，第一段可描写B先生邀请小文和他的母亲到办公室，并告诉他们愿意资助小文进行手术的好消息。 ②由第二段首句内容“一个月后，小文和他的妈妈去医院试戴信号接收设备。”可知，第二段可描写一个月后，小文和他的母亲去医院试戴信号接收设备，这是耳蜗植入手术后的重要一步。 2. 续写线索：B先生的资助——小文的手术——试戴信号接收设备——小文第一次听到声音——感悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ① 资助：offer money/provide financial assistance/give a grant ② 拥抱：hug/embrace/cuddle ③涌出：well up/pour out 情绪类 ① 感激：grateful/thankful/appreciative ② 感动：touched/moved/affected 【点睛】【高分句型1】Surprised but grateful, Xiaowen declined the gesture at first, saying he shouldn’t take it without a reason.（运用了形容词作状语以及现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】Startled by the new voice, Xiaowen turned around and nodded yes, his throat tightening.（运用了过去分词作状语以及独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
