Appointments to use the collection are strongly recommended. · Ask a Librarian: Librarians are available to answer questions by telephone and email from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday (Closed on state holidays and weekends). Email requests may be submitted any time. Resource Sharing for Individuals • Scope (范围) of Service: If the State Library does not own an item you need, it may be possible to borrow that item from another library through Resource Sharing. The State Library will do limited borrowing for library card holders in certain areas like Pacific Northwest history or culture and government publications. It is only able to borrow resources from libraries that do not charge a fee for lending materials. • Processing Time: Your request will be submitted to various libraries to find a lender. Many requests are filled within ten days, but some take longer. • Loan Period: The loan period for materials and renewals are set by the lending library. A lending library may recall an item at any time, and we must accept and observe that. · Limits: Lending libraries may limit the volume and type of materials that they will lend. Videos are often not lent. Rare materials are almost never lent. Newspapers on microfilm are for in-library use only. 1. How are Reading Room and Ask a Librarian similar? A.

C 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了华盛顿州立图书馆的服务时间、资源借阅政策及相关注意事项。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Hours of Operation”部分中“Reading Room: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday(Closed on state holidays and weekends)(阅览室：星期一至星期五上午十时至下午四时(国定假日及周末休息))”与“Ask a Librarian: Librarians are available to answer questions by telephone and email from 8:00am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday(Closed on state holidays and weekends)(咨询图书管理员：图书管理员可以通过电话和电子邮件回答问题，从早上8:00到下午5:00，周一到周五(国定假日及周末休息)”可知，两项服务均工作日开放，周末及节假日不提供服务。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Resource Sharing for Individuals”部分中“It is only able to borrow resources from libraries that do not charge a fee for lending materials(它只能从不收取借阅费用的图书馆借阅资源)”可知，通过资源共享服务借阅资料的前提是借出方图书馆不收取费用。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Limits”部分末句“Newspapers on microfilm are for in-library use only(微缩胶片报纸只供图书馆内阅览)”可知，微缩胶卷报纸明确禁止外借。虽然Videos和Rare materials也存在借阅限制，但文中使用的是“often not lent(时常不外借)”和“almost never lent(几乎从不外借)”，未完全禁止。故选B。 B Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, California. It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from. These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence. It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working, not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird. 4. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special? A. He protected bird species there. B. He fell in love with birding again. C. He made his true start as a birder. D. He completed his writing during it. 5. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attentive. B. Subject. C. Resistant. D. Sensitive. 6. What lesson does the author probably learn? A. Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B. Self-care can help fuel self-worth. C. Happiness serves as the core of life. D. Productivity defines personal value. 7. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph? A. A complete engagement with reality. B. A temporary escape from busy life. C. A training in focus and observation. D. A substitute for online activities. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者去年九月一次偶然的观鸟之旅让他正式成为观鸟者，此后观鸟不仅增加了他的户外时间、让他更亲近自然，还让他领悟到生活的本质，重新认识了观鸟的意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. (这是我第一次专门去某个地方观鸟。自从这次特别的旅行后，我已经见过452种鸟类，仅今年就有307种)”及第二段“I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. (我一生都在关心鸟类和其他动物，在我作为一名科学作家的二十年里，我一直在写关于它们的文章，但我把我特别选择为它们投入时间和精力的那一刻标记为我成为观鸟者的那一时刻)”可知，作者认为这次湿地之旅特别，是因为它让自己真正开启了观鸟者的身份。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled (观鸟时，我似乎对冷热饥渴都impervious。我的感官只专注于当下，内心变得异常平静)”可知，观鸟时作者专注于当下，不受冷热饥渴的影响，因此“impervious”意为“抵抗的、不受影响的”。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“These recent years have taught me that I'm smaller when I'm not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence (这些年我明白了，当我不积极关爱自己时，我会变得渺小；除了无休止的工作产出，我对自己的世界和社区也有价值；而像观鸟这样能带来喜悦、惊奇并与周遭建立联结的追求，并非充实生活的点缀，而是其本质)”可知，作者领悟到能带来快乐的追求是生活的核心，即幸福是生活的核心。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted by small, unimportant matters (相反，对我来说，观鸟意味着全身心投入当下：思绪沉静，感官敏锐，我以专注的意识回应自然界中真实可观察的事物，不会被琐碎小事分心)”可知，作者认为观鸟是对现实的全身心投入。故选A。 C There is an academic department at Arizona State University that may surprise many people: More than 90% of undergraduates that have done a local internship (实习工作) are employed when they graduate. The department? Not business or computer science, as many people may initially guess, but English. It turns out that your parents are wrong. English majors — and others in humanities (人文学科) fields often seen as even less “marketable” — can get great jobs right out of college. Nationally, the number of humanities majors remained flat between 2015 and 2020. But at some US colleges, the number is increasing — and by a lot. At the University of California, Berkeley, the number of undergraduates with a major in the arts or humanities has gone up by more than 70% since 2013. And when it comes to job satisfaction, workers with undergraduate humanities degrees are just as happy with their careers as engineering and business majors. The humanities — which include English, philosophy, film studies, history and languages — are the study of human culture. Students who study these disciplines can expect to do a lot of writing, critical thinking, close reading and discussion. All of these are skills that develop a person’s ability to see a problem from many different angles and communicate persuasively. For some careers, an undergraduate degree in the humanities is a clear advantage. Billy Dunaway, chair of the philosophy department at the University of Missouri, says his students pursue careers in many fields, including business, public policy, insurance and computer science. For students planning to apply to law school, the way philosophy is taught — through the Socratic method, where the professor leads with a question which develops into a back-and-forth discussion and sometimes debate — prepares them well. Also, philosophy majors score better in the Law School Admission Test, on account of the fact that the test is essentially a logic test and many classes in law school are taught using the same Socratic method. 8. What is the common belief about humanities majors? A. They are losing their marketability. B. They have poor employment prospects. C. They get few internship opportunities. D. They are limited to humanities fields. 9. What can be learned from paragraph 2? A. Disciplines are treated equally nationwide. B. Job satisfaction varies greatly with majors. C. Undergraduates have various major choices. D. Humanities partly gain increasing recognition. 10. Which might be a focus of the humanities? A. Persuasive writing. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Cultural understanding. D. Multidimensional problem-solving. 11. Why can philosophy benefit students planning to apply to law school? A. It improves their logical abilities. B. It covers knowledge of different fields. C. It emphasizes their critical thinking. D. It follows law school’s teaching method. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了大众普遍认为人文学科就业前景差，但实际其毕业生能获得优质工作、就业满意度高，且人文学科培养的核心技能对多个职业领域极具价值。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It turns out that your parents are wrong. English majors—and others in humanities(人文学科) fields often seen as even less “marketable” — can get great jobs right out of college.(事实证明，你的父母错了。英语专业学生——以及其他常被认为“市场认可度”更低的人文学科学生——大学毕业后就能找到好工作。)”可知，人文学科常被认为“市场价值”更低，结合对父母们的认知错误的反驳，可推断大众普遍认为人文学科毕业生就业前景差。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But at some US colleges, the number is increasing—and by a lot. At the University of California, Berkeley, the number of undergraduates with a major in the arts or humanities has gone up by more than 70% since 2013. And when it comes to job satisfaction, workers with undergraduate humanities degrees are just as happy with their careers as engineering and business majors.(但在部分美国大学，人文学科的招生人数正在大幅增长：自2013年以来，加州大学伯克利分校的艺术或人文学科本科专业人数增长了70%以上。而且在工作满意度方面，拥有人文学科本科学位的从业者，其职业幸福感与工程学和商科专业毕业生不相上下。)”可知，部分美国大学的人文学科专业人数大幅增长，且人文学科毕业生就业满意度与工科、商科相当，说明人文学科逐步获得更多认可。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The humanities — which include English, philosophy, film studies, history and languages — are the study of human culture.(人文学科涵盖英语、哲学、电影研究、历史和语言等领域，是对人类文化的研究。)”可知，人文学科的核心是对人类文化的研究。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Also, philosophy majors score better in the Law School Admission Test, on account of the fact that the test is essentially a logic test and many classes in law school are taught using the same Socratic method.(此外，哲学专业学生在法学院入学考试中表现更出色，因为该考试本质上是一场逻辑测试，且法学院的许多课程也采用与哲学专业相同的苏格拉底教学法。)”可知，哲学专业学生在法学院考试中表现更佳，原因是哲学培养了他们的逻辑能力。故选A。 D Statistically speaking, you’ve probably already pressed a like button several times today. If you’re under 20 years old, you may press it even more. Perhaps you recently posted on social media platforms and are eagerly checking as the like count rises on your phone. But what makes the like button so appealing to us? According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician at Yale University, it is because “the like button is built, in a very deep and distant way, on the back of evolutionary (进化的) biology”. All animals learn and evolve as they interact with a challenging world, but only certain of them have the ability to learn from the experience of other individuals. “Social learning” showed great evolutionary benefits, allowing human ancestors to raise their chances of survival by avoiding the mistakes they saw others making, and copying the successful moves. This helps explain why human beings are often affected by “homophily” (同质偏好), a preference for people we consider as similar to ourselves. Just as birds of a feather flock together (物以类聚), a vast amount of research has shown that humans have a deep-seated preference to respond positively to sameness. This tendency can lead to prejudice, but it is also connected to humans’ powerful advantage of social learning. There are other consequences of an evolved social learning ability. They include our habits of expressing gratitude and acknowledging — essentially saying “thank you for letting me learn from you”. Because we are happy to get clues about threats and to gain opportunities, we receive knowledge in a fashion that will encourage more of it to come our way. In turn, we as givers respond to that positive confirmation. It’s what keeps us sharing what we discover. All this explains why we have grown to welcome liking and being liked. It’s just not possible for something to become so popular without being connected with something fundamental in our biology. 12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text? A. By making a comparison. B. By asking pointed questions. C. By explaining an assumption. D. By presenting a social phenomenon. 13. What does the author say about “homophily”? A. It has both harm and benefits. B. It’s the key to social learning. C. It’s far from well-documented. D. It helps to express preferences. 14. Why do humans tend to say thanks? A. To gain more opportunities. B. To deepen social interaction. C. To respond to positive feedback. D. To boost more knowledge sharing. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Discovery: Humans Evolve to Like “Likes” B. Social Learning: A Real Evolutionary Advantage C. Like Buttons: The Main Driver of Social Media D. Interpretation: Homophily Shapes Human Behavior 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍点赞按钮极具吸引力的原因，揭示其与人类进化生物学中的社会学习、同质偏好等因素相关联。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Statistically speaking, you’ve probably already pressed a like button several times today. If you’re under 20 years old, you may press it even more. Perhaps you recently posted on social media platforms and are eagerly checking as the like count rises on your phone.(从统计数据来看，你今天可能已经按了好几次点赞按钮。如果你不到20岁，可能按得更多。也许你最近在社交媒体平台上发了帖，正急切地看着手机上的点赞数不断增加。)”可知，作者通过呈现人们日常点赞、关注点赞数的普遍社会现象，引出“点赞按钮为何极具吸引力”这一主题。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“This tendency can lead to prejudice, but it is also connected to humans’ powerful advantage of social learning.(这种倾向可能会导致偏见，但它也与人类强大的社会学习优势有关。)”可知，同质偏好既有可能引发偏见的危害，也与人类社会学习优势相关联，即兼具弊端与益处。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“They include our habits of expressing gratitude and acknowledging — essentially saying “thank you for letting me learn from you”. Because we are happy to get clues about threats and to gain opportunities, we receive knowledge in a fashion that will encourage more of it to come our way.(这包括我们表达感激和认可的习惯——本质上是在说“谢谢你让我向你学习”。因为我们乐于获得有关威胁的线索并抓住机会，所以我们会以一种能鼓励更多知识涌向我们的方式来接受知识。)”可知，人类表达感谢是为了鼓励他人分享更多知识，让自己获得更多学习机会。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“But what makes the like button so appealing to us? According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician at Yale University, it is because “the like button is built, in a very deep and distant way, on the back of evolutionary (进化的) biology”.(但是什么让点赞按钮对我们如此有吸引力呢？根据耶鲁大学社会学家兼医生尼古拉斯·克里斯塔基斯的说法，这是因为“点赞按钮在很深很远的程度上是建立在进化生物学的基础上的”。)”及最后一段中的“All this explains why we have grown to welcome liking and being liked. It’s just not possible for something to become so popular without being connected with something fundamental in our biology.(所有这一切都解释了为什么我们逐渐喜欢点赞和被点赞。如果某件事没有与我们生物学中的某些基本要素相关联，它就不可能变得如此受欢迎。)”可知，文章围绕“点赞按钮为何吸引人”展开，核心是说明人类喜欢点赞、被点赞的行为源于进化生物学的深层因素，“发现：人类进化到喜欢‘点赞’”精准概括了全文主旨，适合作为标题。故选A项。 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。 Looking for a simple way to relax and feel more at ease?

That’s exactly what happened to a child and his 78-year-old great-grandmother. Bridger Peabody, a three-year-old boy, was staying with his great-grandmother Sharon Lewis on a February night in Strasburg, Colorado. His parents were at the hospital with his older sister, who had hurt her finger. The 78-year-old woman, whom Bridger calls “GiGi”, was walking with him to the back door when disaster struck. Lewis tripped and hit her head hard on a concrete step. She couldn’t get up. Blood was pouring out of a cut on her head and soaked (浸透) her clothes. Even worse, she had no way to call for help as her phone was in the car. They tried shouting loudly for help. A neighbor’s light glowed (发出微光) in the distance, but no one heard them. Then Lewis knew the only solution was for Bridger to return to her car and get her phone. She had to ask her great-grandson to do something that scared him more than anything. It was nighttime, and the path to her car wasn’t lit. It was in total darkness. Up to that point, Bridger had never even opened a car door, let alone faced such a life-and-death challenge. But Lewis needed that phone to call for help. “You know what, dear? You are going to have to go out to the car and get my phone,” Lewis toldBridger, her voice steady (平稳) despite the pain. “ But it’s too dark, GiGi,” Bridger said. Lewis knew Bridger was very frightened, but she gave him courage with faith. “I know, but you’re going to have to be brave. You can do it, my dear.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答。 What happened next amazed everyone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking the phone, Lewis called 911 right away. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 What happened next amazed everyone. Bridger took a deep breath and stepped into the darkness. His tiny hands trembled as he felt his way toward the car. The cold night air made him shiver, but GiGi’s words echoed in his mind: “You can do it.” With determination, he reached the car, fumbled for the door handle, and finally grabbed the phone. Tears streaked his face, but he didn’t stop. He rushed back to GiGi, clutching the phone like a lifeline, and handed it to GiGi. Taking the phone, Lewis called 911 right away. Her voice was weak but clear as she explained the situation. Within minutes, sirens wailed in the distance. Paramedics arrived, stabilizing Lewis and praising Bridger’s bravery. At the hospital, doctors treated her injury, and Bridger’s parents hugged him tightly, overwhelmed with pride. That night, a three-year-old proved that love conquers fear — and that even the smallest hero can shine in the darkest moments. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述2月科罗拉多州的夜晚，3岁男孩布里杰和曾祖母刘易斯相处时，刘易斯摔倒受伤无法求救，她鼓励布里杰在黑暗中取回车内手机，布里杰直面恐惧完成了挑战。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来发生的事让所有人震惊。”可知，第一段可描写布里杰如何战胜恐惧；黑暗中的具体挑战； 成功拿到手机的细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“刘易斯拿到手机后，立刻拨打了911。”可知，第二段可描写GiGi通话时的紧急状态； 救援到达的场面和结果。 2.续写线索：走进黑暗——摸向汽车——找到电话——拿给祖母——电话求救——救援成功——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：step into/enter ②快速返回：rush back to/quickly return ③到达：arrive/get/make it 情绪类 ①有决心地：with determination/determinedly ②自豪地：with pride/proudly 【点睛】[高分句型1]He rushed back to GiGi, clutching the phone like a lifeline, and handed it to GiGi.

B Last September, I drove to a protected wetland near my home in Oakland, California. It was the first time that I had gone somewhere merely to watch birds. Since this unique journey, I’ve seen 452 species, including 307 this year alone. In some birding circles, people claim anyone who looks at birds is a birder. I’ve cared about birds and other animals for my entire life, and I’ve written about them throughout my two decades as a science writer, but I mark the moment when I specifically chose to devote time and energy to them as the moment I became a birder. Birding has significantly increased the time spent outdoors. It has motivated me to explore Oakland in ways I never would have. While birding, I seem impervious to heat, cold, hunger and thirst. My senses focus only on the present, and my head becomes extremely untroubled. I also feel a much deeper connection to the natural world, which I have long written about but always remained slightly distant from. These recent years have taught me that I’m smaller when I’m not actively looking after myself, that I have value for my world and my community beyond ceaseless production, and that pursuits like birding that encourage joy, wonder and bond with places are not sidebars to a fulfilled life but the essence. It’s easy to perceive birding as something you do when you’re not working, not being productive, and even an escape from reality. Instead, for me, birding means absorbing myself in the present moment: my thoughts quiet, my senses heightened, and I respond to real, observable events in nature with focused awareness without being distracted (使分心) by small, unimportant matters. I don’t need to know who the main characters are on social media and what everyone is commenting on them, when I can instead spend an hour trying to locate a rare bird. 4. Why did the author think the journey to the wetland special? A. He protected bird species there. B. He fell in love with birding again. C. He made his true start as a birder. D. He completed his writing during it. 5. What does the underlined word “impervious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attentive. B. Subject. C. Resistant. D. Sensitive. 6. What lesson does the author probably learn? A. Outdoor pursuits are a must-have. B. Self-care can help fuel self-worth. C. Happiness serves as the core of life. D. Productivity defines personal value. 7. How does the author view birding according to the last paragraph? A. A complete engagement with reality. B. A temporary escape from busy life. C. A training in focus and observation. D. A substitute for online activities. C There is an academic department at Arizona State University that may surprise many people: More than 90% of undergraduates that have done a local internship (实习工作) are employed when they graduate. The department? Not business or computer science, as many people may initially guess, but English. It turns out that your parents are wrong. English majors — and others in humanities (人文学科) fields often seen as even less “marketable” — can get great jobs right out of college. Nationally, the number of humanities majors remained flat between 2015 and 2020. But at some US colleges, the number is increasing — and by a lot. At the University of California, Berkeley, the number of undergraduates with a major in the arts or humanities has gone up by more than 70% since 2013. And when it comes to job satisfaction, workers with undergraduate humanities degrees are just as happy with their careers as engineering and business majors. The humanities — which include English, philosophy, film studies, history and languages — are the study of human culture. Students who study these disciplines can expect to do a lot of writing, critical thinking, close reading and discussion. All of these are skills that develop a person’s ability to see a problem from many different angles and communicate persuasively. For some careers, an undergraduate degree in the humanities is a clear advantage. Billy Dunaway, chair of the philosophy department at the University of Missouri, says his students pursue careers in many fields, including business, public policy, insurance and computer science. For students planning to apply to law school, the way philosophy is taught — through the Socratic method, where the professor leads with a question which develops into a back-and-forth discussion and sometimes debate — prepares them well. Also, philosophy majors score better in the Law School Admission Test, on account of the fact that the test is essentially a logic test and many classes in law school are taught using the same Socratic method. 8. What is the common belief about humanities majors? A. They are losing their marketability. B. They have poor employment prospects. C They get few internship opportunities. D. They are limited to humanities fields. 9. What can be learned from paragraph 2? A. Disciplines are treated equally nationwide. B. Job satisfaction varies greatly with majors. C. Undergraduates have various major choices. D. Humanities partly gain increasing recognition. 10. Which might be a focus of the humanities? A. Persuasive writing. B. Cross-disciplinary integration. C. Cultural understanding. D. Multidimensional problem-solving. 11. Why can philosophy benefit students planning to apply to law school? A. It improves their logical abilities. B. It covers knowledge of different fields. C. It emphasizes their critical thinking. D. It follows law school’s teaching method. D Statistically speaking, you’ve probably already pressed a like button several times today. If you’re under 20 years old, you may press it even more. Perhaps you recently posted on social media platforms and are eagerly checking as the like count rises on your phone. But what makes the like button so appealing to us? According to Nicholas Christakis, a sociologist and physician at Yale University, it is because “the like button is built, in a very deep and distant way, on the back of evolutionary (进化的) biology”. All animals learn and evolve as they interact with a challenging world, but only certain of them have the ability to learn from the experience of other individuals. “Social learning” showed great evolutionary benefits, allowing human ancestors to raise their chances of survival by avoiding the mistakes they saw others making, and copying the successful moves. This helps explain why human beings are often affected by “homophily” (同质偏好), a preference for people we consider as similar to ourselves. Just as birds of a feather flock together (物以类聚), a vast amount of research has shown that humans have a deep-seated preference to respond positively to sameness. This tendency can lead to prejudice, but it is also connected to humans’ powerful advantage of social learning. There are other consequences of an evolved social learning ability. They include our habits of expressing gratitude and acknowledging — essentially saying “thank you for letting me learn from you”. Because we are happy to get clues about threats and to gain opportunities, we receive knowledge in a fashion that will encourage more of it to come our way. In turn, we as givers respond to that positive confirmation. It’s what keeps us sharing what we discover. All this explains why we have grown to welcome liking and being liked. It’s just not possible for something to become so popular without being connected with something fundamental in our biology. 12. How does the author lead in the topic of the text? A.

That’s exactly what happened to a child and his 78-year-old great-grandmother. Bridger Peabody, a three-year-old boy, was staying with his great-grandmother Sharon Lewis on a February night in Strasburg, Colorado. His parents were at the hospital with his older sister, who had hurt her finger. The 78-year-old woman, whom Bridger calls “GiGi”, was walking with him to the back door when disaster struck. Lewis tripped and hit her head hard on a concrete step. She couldn’t get up. Blood was pouring out of a cut on her head and soaked (浸透) her clothes. Even worse, she had no way to call for help as her phone was in the car. They tried shouting loudly for help. A neighbor’s light glowed (发出微光) in the distance, but no one heard them. Then Lewis knew the only solution was for Bridger to return to her car and get her phone. She had to ask her great-grandson to do something that scared him more than anything. It was nighttime, and the path to her car wasn’t lit. It was in total darkness. Up to that point, Bridger had never even opened a car door, let alone faced such a life-and-death challenge. But Lewis needed that phone to call for help. “You know what, dear? You are going to have to go out to the car and get my phone,” Lewis toldBridger, her voice steady (平稳的) despite the pain. “ But it’s too dark, GiGi,” Bridger said. Lewis knew Bridger was very frightened, but she gave him courage with faith. “I know, but you’re going to have to be brave. You can do it, my dear.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式作答 What happened next amazed everyone. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking the phone, Lewis called 911 right away. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
