"You know,he is under quite a lot of pressure now with his new job.Let's give him a break,"Mom said,"Why not let me help you?We can give Dad a surprise when he gets back from work.” David sighed but agreed.Wearing his helmet(),he rode the bike without training wheels. "You'd have to hold the bike for me." “Don't worry,”Mom replied.. The bike felt shaky when he got on,but David knew Mom wouldn't let him fall. Slowly they moved farther. "You'd have to run with me,"he said,riding faster. "Come on,David.You can do it,"Mom said. The soft wind kissed David's face as he rode along."Then you'd have to let go." "I already did,"a voice came from behind him. David turned his head and saw Mom waving,with a big smile on her face.He then rode back to his mother.It felt scary,but it also felt cool.He was riding like a big kid! Mom hugged him."I'm proud of you!I'm sure Dad will be,too." Later that day when Dad's car pulled over,David rode to him on his bike,shaky but excited. "Wow,really?Without your training wheels,ha?I'm so proud of you!" "Thanks,but you know what,Dad?I can't wait to ride bikes together with you and Mom.” How about now?” 24.Why did David cry at first? A.Because he had a fight with his mom B.Because he didn't know how to ride a bike 第5页/供12页 C.Because his bicycle was old and shaky D.Because his dad failed to keep his promise 25.What did David feel while practicing riding without the training wheels? A.Painful but lucky. B.Nervous but excited. C.Angry but thankful. D.Worried but relaxing. 26.What will David do at the end of the story? A.ask Dad for a new helmet B.join other boys in cycling C.ride bikes with his parents D.plan a family trip with Dad C Do you ever dream of doing nothing at all,lying on a grassland for a whole afternoon,just staring at the sky and listening to the silence?It may sound like a lovely idea,but in fact we can find doing nothing at all-and no sleep-very hard to do. In a famous study a few years ago at the University of Virginia,participants 与者)were led one at a time into a completely empty room with no distractions(分心 )They had no phone,no books,no screens-and they weren't allowed to take a nap ()Electrodes were fitted to their ankles and they were left alone for 15 minutes.It was a chance to kick back and relax for a short while. So,how did it go?Well,before being left alone,participants were shown how to press a computer key connected to a machine ankle that gave an electric shock.You might think that having tried it once no one would want to do it again.Wrong.In fact,71%of the men and 25%of the women gave themselves at least one electric shock during their time alone-and one man shocked himself a shocking 190 times.It turns out that having nothing to do was so torturing(折磨人的)that many of the participants preferred to, in fact,torture themselves rather than put up with no distraction. This experiment is an extreme(极端的)example,but we know from everyday 第6页/供12页 life that people continuously choose to do things they don't need to do and which are sometimes painful.Think of all of your friends who run 40 kilometers a time or set punishing rules at the gym.They go way beyond what is required for their health and fitness. Michael Inzlicht from the University of Toronto calls this the paradox()of effort.Sometimes we take the easy way and do as little as we can get away with,but at other times we value situations more if we have to put in lots of effort.The joy of the effort gives us so much pleasure that we don't take the short cut.We might spend hours on a difficult math problem instead of searching on an learning app to find out the solution. During this difficult time,we can find that we are not born lazy.Indeed in a strange way we might find that doing less,and resting more,actually requires a lot more effort than one would think. 27.Why did the researchers do the experiment? A.To show that being alone is easier for women. B.To suggest that men cannot stand being left alone. C.To prove that having nothing to do at all is painful. D.To test whether electric shocks do harm to people. 28.According to the passage,which is the example of "the paradox of effort"? A.Making a piece of furniture by hand. B.Lying on the sofa and watching TV. C.Warming up before running 40 kilometers. D.Reaching the top of a mountain by using a lift. 29.What can we learn from this passage? A.We should keep ourselves busy to get pleasure in life. B.We find joy in situations requiring plenty of hard work. C.It's important to do things that are effortful and difficult. D.It's possible for us to get pleasure from taking a short cut. L 第7页/共12页 D How many times have you found yourself in conversations with friends,family members or loved ones and discovered that you had completely shut off what they were saying?How much of our attention are we truly giving to the people who are supposed to be important to us? According to a research by Wright State University,while most people believe they are good listeners who don't need to improve their listening skills,the average person(一般人)only listens at about25 percent efficiency(效率)， So why aren't we better listeners?As a society,we may be growing more narcissistic ()A 2022 study found a rise in self-centeredness and narcissism among college students.If we,as a culture,are becoming more self-centered,how can we,as individuals(个体)，work to become more caring communicators?? We can begin by changing our attitudes toward conversations.As Stephen R. Covey wrote in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:Powerful Lessons in Personal Change,"Most people do not listen with the intention (to understand but to reply."A dialogue is a chance to learn,to see things from a new perspective )to open your eyes to new information and possibilities.Yet,too often we communicate as if it's a debate.We speak to hear our own voices.In doing so,we can space out when spoken to.We wait,perhaps even patiently or politely,for the other person to finish,so we can say something we feel is of value. Wilson Mizner said,"A good listener is not only popular everywhere,but after a while,he knows something."Listening doesn't just enrich our knowledge on an intellectual (level;it also enables us to have a more personal,in-depth understanding of our closest friends.Relationships are truly enriched by an equal 等的)back-and-forth exchange in communication..When these dynamics(动态) become more one-sided,we may lose interest and create distance (in our friendships,with less trust built and less honesty exchanged. Maybe we aren't as good listeners as we believe.Do we focus too much on ourselves-both in positive and negative ways?Do we get distracted by an inner 第8页/共12页 coach,rather than living in the moment and really focusing on what's being said? Thankfully,we can all improve our listening skills.As we learn to quiet that inner voice in our minds,we can start to open ourselves up to others,becoming better listeners,thinkers,lovers and friends. 30.Why does the writer ask the questions in Paragraph 1? A.To show most people are confident about their listening skills. B.To point out the fact that people have low efficiency in listening C.To provide information about how people behave in conversation. D.To express his worries about people's shortage of attention when talking. 31.What does the underlined phrase"space out"in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Stay focused. B.Feel confused. C.Be absent-minded. D.Remain nervous. 32.Which of the following statements would the writer agree with? A.We should speak to hear our own voices and opinions B.People should listen to learn and see things from a new way C.Most people listen with the intention to understand,not to reply D.A good listener is popular but does not necessarily know everything. 33.What would be the best title for this passage? A.Why We Should Listen More and Speak Less B.How We Can Improve Listening Skills Efficiently C.The Influence of Narcissism on Social Communication D.The Lower Efficiency of Listening in Modern Society 第二部分 本部分共5题，共20分。根据题目要求，完成相应任务。 四、阅读表达（第34-36题每题2分，第37题4分，共10分) 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 第9页/共12页 Visa-Free Transit Policy(过境免签政策)Increases Tourists'Arrivals The number of foreign visitors to China has sharply increased over the past months. The Chinese government's 144-hour visa-free transit policy proves to be a smart move.The purpose of this policy is to open up the country to the outside world.It has not only increased overseas tourists'arrivals in China but also given foreigners a wonderful opportunity to experience the country's rich culture and history. According to the 144-hour visa-free transit policy,if you are a national of any of the 54 designated (countries,you can stop by China on your way to another country.A foreigner can stay in the country for six days at most without a visa. The policy covers major Chinese cities such as Beijing,Shanghai,Guangzhou, and Chengdu,making it easier for tourists to explore the "can't miss"tourist spots along the way.After landing at any of the 37 designated ports ()you can simply go to the visa-free transit counter and apply for the 144-hour visa-free transit.It definitely saves time and even money. Surprisingly,due to the new policy,true stories about China are spread through travelers'postings on social media platforms,including Facebook,Bilibili,and Douyin.These travelers'personal stories have painted a colorful picture of the real China,which can be considered one of the greatest achievements of the policy. Travelers have praised Chinese people's kindness,traditional Chinese culture,and the modern infrastructure(基础设施).These stories have attracted audiences worldwide. As someone with a Chinese family and who has lived in China for 25 years,I feel proud when I see our foreign friends sharing the real story about China. China's visa-free transit policy is a smart move in international relations and a creative and traveler-friendly way of promoting tourism,as well as encouraging people-to-people exchanges and improving understanding.Whether it's exploring ancient temples,countryside farms or villages,or enjoying world-class shopping in dream-like malls,visitors leave China with a deeper appreciation of the country's 第10页/供共12页
