The prosecution (控方): James My housemate and best friend spends every waking minute on TikTok. I know she works in social media, but she’s now seriously addicted to it, even after she’s clocked of. Besides, she needs to stop playing videos loudly around the house when I’m watching TV. The defence: Marley My job means I have to be on the ball with what’s trending online. I think James is jealous because he’s got a rather boring job in accounting. I don’t go around playing videos at full volume all the time; I think that’s only happened a handful of times. He’s exaggerating (夸张) there. The jury (陪审团) of Guardian readers While Marley’s use of TikTok may seem excessive to some, ultimately it is up to her how she chooses to use her time. If James can’t accept that, he should move out. Margo, 29 Marley needs to put her phone down, live in the moment and think less about her social media presence. She is guilty of not valuing an honest friend because she thinks a better life awaits her on TikTok. Stewart, 35 As a fellow phone addict, I do have sympathy for Marley. However, it’s more than a little rude to have the sound turned on while watching TV together. Peter 40 The excessive use of social media is a crime and reflects poor control over social habits. Marley needs to be more considerate of others. Steve, 6 Now you be the-judge In our reader feedback section, tell us: should Marley get off TikTok and get a life? 1. What is Marley’s reason for spending time on TikTok? A. She finds an accounting job dull. B. She enjoys sharing popular videos. C. She needs to stay updated on online trends. D. She prefers avoiding interaction with James. 2. Who is fully on Marley’s side? A. Margo. B. Stewart. C. Peter. D. Steve. 3. Where does the text most probably come from? A. A legal paper. B. A court record. C. A lifestyle survey. D. An interactive column. B “Blow, seven o’clock.” The clipped voice comes from Peter Beamish, the scientist who owns the boat. 14 heads turn. Our eyes pick out a whale’s spray beneath the dark grey cliffs. Beamish slips engines into gear (挡位) and the boat leaps towards the spray. Close by, a huge, circular dish of water starts to widen. “That’s where she dived. She’ll show in about another two minutes." Beamish again. He is studying animal communication, concentrating mostly on the whales along the Newfound-land coast, where he runs a scientific inn. Every trip out from there is a contribution to his research, paid for by tourists like us. Minutes ticking by, I can hear the blow close up. It is like the cut-short burst of steam from a huge engine. In the vast sea, lifting, lifting, the whale blacks out the sky. Her black sides are glistening, curving out smooth and round, looking like an upturned ship. “She’s going to dive. Wait for the tail.” The whale eases a little to our left. Her back arches slowly, the water spilling off it in curtains. And then one of the most memorable sights on Earth: the tail unfolds from the surface in endless slow motion, the immense flat flukes (鲸的尾叶) pouring down water and light. For a moment it seems to pause; then the tail slowly slides down, melting little by little at the base. The sea rushes in, foaming, leaving the trail of bubbles behind her dissolving to nothing; and she is gone. “That was Barbara.” Beamish gives every whale a name while it is here. “She’s a 40-foot female, somewhere between seven and 15 years old. She came here last month with the rest of the herd up from the Caribbean.” The surfacing of a whale beside a small boat in the sea is an experience that cannot be overshadowed by any television documentaries. It is not only the creature’s size, nor even its power and grace. It is the sense it conveys of all time continuing; of living by some other clock, less hurried and more certain than our own. 4. What role did Peter Beamish play on the trip? A. A coach. B. A sightseer. C. A funder. D. A guide. 5. How does the author perceive the whale’s blow and dive? A. Striking. B. Dangerous. C. Terrifying. D. Instructive. 6. What can we learn about the writer from the last paragraph? A. He senses the overwhelming power of time. B. He is scared by the whale’s size and power. C. He feels a more natural and slower pace of life. D. He finds whales on TV documentaries more thrilling. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The mystery of the whale. B. The magic of whale watching. C. Sailing around with a scientist. D. Going on a scientific trip. C Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers-Health professor shows she was onto something: Their traits can affect you — especially ones that are in their genes. The genetic make-up of adolescent peers may have long-term consequences for individual risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E. Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Socio-genomics — the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another — is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders. With an anonymous (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical, pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the same individuals in adulthood. Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers. Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is what the findings mean for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said. “It’s not enough to think about individual risk.” This research also underlines the importance of disrupting (中断) processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said. 8. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research? A. To check former research on socio-genomics. B. To test the effectiveness of socio-genomics. C. To figure out adolescents’ current health condition. D. To explore the field of adolescents’ mental disorders. 9. What method did Salvatore and her colleagues apply in the research? A. Analyzing statistics from a database. B. Referring to previous studies. C. Conducting surveys among teenagers. D. Using a mapping tool to track individuals. 10. The significance of the research lies in that ________. A. It stressed the urgency of conducting more relevant research B. it reveals the social cost of mental disorders C. it highlighted the necessity of more effective interventions D. it envisioned the possibility of disrupting risks in a decade 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Genetic influences: The Hidden Foundation of Friendship. B. Peers’ genetic make-up: The most influential factor. C. Wise Friends: Determinants of Your Personality. D. Your School Friends: Their Genes Matter to You. D You see a fantastic offer, like a hotel room. You decide to book. Then it turns out there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final price, it is no longer the fantastic offer you thought. Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision. There’s a profound psychological mechanism at play here, called the present bias. In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. In simple terms, the inconvenience of doing something “right now” often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses - loss aversion. Imagine you’re booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out. But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show from those nice seats. Going back to a cheaper seat will feel like a loss. Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. 12. Which of the following is an example of drip pricing? A. FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choose their flight. B. Airbnb offers you a membership account when you book a trip. C. Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond the advertised price. D. Ticketmaster provides optional items at later stages of your purchase. 13. What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reach. B. Abandon. C. Sign. D. Expand. 14. How will Rabin explain people’s refusal to cancel an order and remake one? A. People are likely to blindly stick to their initial intentions. B. People like to grab earlier rewards and delay immediate costs. C. People struggle to make a decision among multiple choices. D. People tend to tolerate additional costs within their budget. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To explain why people fall into the drip pricing trick. B. To educate customers on how to deal with drip pricing. C. To call on governments to protect consumers’ interests. D. To introduce two psychological phenomena about spending. 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。 Have you ever wished there were a magic method to make learning easier and more efficient? ___16___ Named after a Nobel winner in physics known for simplifying complex ideas, this method can help you unlock your potential and gain a deep understanding of various topics. Step 1: Start by getting a blank sheet of paper. Write down everything you already know about a topic. This serves as your initial knowledge base. As you dive deeper into the topic, continue to add new information and insights to your sheet. Be patient during this process. ___17___ Step 2: Explain your topic in a way that a 12-year-old child could understand. ___18___ Begin by simplifying your notes. It’s easy to complicate a subject. However, the true challenge, and the true demonstration of understanding, is in simplification. Only someone who truly comprehends a subject can break it down into its simplest terms, making it accessible to people of all ages. Step 3: Write down your explanations. It is a powerful tool in the learning process. This activity facilitates reflection, through which we identify areas where further learning is needed. The learning process is iterative (迭代的). Never hesitate to go back to the source materials, especially the parts you don’t fully grasp yet. ___19___ Repeat this process until your explanations are simple and clear. Step 4: Save the page where you have documented simplified explanations. This is an important step, as this document will serve as a valuable reference in the future. By applying this technique to all new concepts you learn, you will gradually build up a comprehensive folder (文件夹) of knowledge. ___20___ This way, not only will you be strengthening what you have learned, but you will also have the chance to improve your understanding over time. A. This is an effective test of your understanding. B. Look no further than the Feynman Technique. C. Learning is not a race, but a journey of discovery. D. Make it a habit to review this folder a few times a year. E. This folder contains other people’s complicated explanations. F. Review these parts, reflect on them, and improve your understanding. G. The Feynman technique breaks the learning process into four broad steps. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “Supermarket girl” wasn’t her name.

Normally I would be delighted to help in her shop, but not recently because of Rosa. Rosa was my sister, just one month old, who was settled in my old bedroom. For ten years, the small room was full of my toys and books. But now it was transformed into her baby room, decorated like a garden with pinks and yellows. My space, my old life, was gone. “Here we are!” We arrived at the shop, a wave of colour and sweet smell washing over me. My aunt said I could pick some flowers for Mum and Dad. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tiredness and envy. Why bother to bring them flowers when they were enjoying Rosa at home without me? Silently I helped my aunt arrange flowers. “Your mum told me there hasn’t been much shut eye recently for any of you.” “Not much, since Rosa the alarm clock was installed (安装).” I complained with a huge yawn (哈欠). “I remember having to creep (蹑手蹑脚地走) around like a worn-out mouse when your mum was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much.” “But you and Mum seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa. “Now we are. But it took me years to grow into the role of big sister. Few flowers blossom (绽放) overnight, you know.” She pulled me in for aside hug, glancing up at the clock, and suggested I take a walk outside. Behind her shop was a field dotted with spring flowers. Stepping into the field, I began to pick little flowers. It was like gathering my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d sit with Dad, making flower chains, crowning (授予) each other with the silliest titles: Queen of Junk Food and King of Mess. My smile grew wider. The shining yellow flowers reminded me of the color in Rosa’s baby room. Was she awake? I wondered. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Suddenly I saw two familiar figures walking towards me _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rosa was wide awake in her baby basket beside the picnic blanket. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 杭州学军中学2025学年第一学期高二上模拟考（二） 英语试卷 本试卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题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。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.

Our eyes pick out a whale’s spray beneath the dark grey cliffs. Beamish slips engines into gear (挡位) and the boat leaps towards the spray. Close by, a huge, circular dish of water starts to widen. “That’s where she dived. She’ll show in about another two minutes." Beamish again. He is studying animal communication, concentrating mostly on the whales along the Newfound-land coast, where he runs a scientific inn. Every trip out from there is a contribution to his research, paid for by tourists like us. Minutes ticking by, I can hear the blow close up. It is like the cut-short burst of steam from a huge engine. In the vast sea, lifting, lifting, the whale blacks out the sky. Her black sides are glistening, curving out smooth and round, looking like an upturned ship. “She’s going to dive. Wait for the tail.” The whale eases a little to our left. Her back arches slowly, the water spilling off it in curtains. And then one of the most memorable sights on Earth: the tail unfolds from the surface in endless slow motion, the immense flat flukes (鲸的尾叶) pouring down water and light. For a moment it seems to pause; then the tail slowly slides down, melting little by little at the base. The sea rushes in, foaming, leaving the trail of bubbles behind her dissolving to nothing; and she is gone. “That was Barbara.” Beamish gives every whale a name while it is here. “She’s a 40-foot female, somewhere between seven and 15 years old. She came here last month with the rest of the herd up from the Caribbean.” The surfacing of a whale beside a small boat in the sea is an experience that cannot be overshadowed by any television documentaries. It is not only the creature’s size, nor even its power and grace. It is the sense it conveys of all time continuing; of living by some other clock, less hurried and more certain than our own. 4. What role did Peter Beamish play on the trip? A. A coach. B. A sightseer. C. A funder. D. A guide. 5. How does the author perceive the whale’s blow and dive? A. Striking. B. Dangerous. C. Terrifying. D. Instructive. 6. What can we learn about the writer from the last paragraph? A. He senses the overwhelming power of time. B. He is scared by the whale’s size and power. C. He feels a more natural and slower pace of life. D. He finds whales on TV documentaries more thrilling. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The mystery of the whale. B. The magic of whale watching. C. Sailing around with a scientist. D. Going on a scientific trip. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文叙述了跟随一位科学家近距离观看鲸鱼的经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Every trip out from there is a contribution to his research, paid for by tourists like us.(从那里出发的每一次旅行都是对他的研究的贡献，由像我们这样的游客买单)”可推知，彼得·比米什在这次旅行中扮演了导游角色。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“And then one of the most memorable sights on Earth: the tail unfolds from the surface in endless slow motion, the immense flat flukes (鲸的尾叶) pouring down water and light.(然后是地球上最令人难忘的景象之一：尾巴从表面展开，以无尽的慢动作，巨大的扁平吸片将水和光线倾泻而下)”可知，作者认为鲸鱼的击打和俯冲引人注目。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It is the sense it conveys of all time continuing; of living by some other clock, less hurried and more certain than our own.(它所传达的是一种永恒的感觉；按照另一个时钟生活，比我们自己的时钟更不匆忙，更确定)”可知，作者感觉到一种更自然、更慢的生活节奏。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The surfacing of a whale beside a small boat in the sea is an experience that cannot be overshadowed by any television documentaries. It is not only the creature’s size, nor even its power and grace. It is the sense it conveys of all time continuing; of living by some other clock, less hurried and more certain than our own.(在海面上，一条鲸鱼在小船旁浮出水面，这种经历是任何电视纪录片都无法掩盖的。这不仅是因为它的体型，甚至还因为它的力量和优雅。它所传达的是一种永恒的感觉；按照另一个时钟生活，比我们自己的时钟更不匆忙，更确定)”以及本文叙述了跟随一位科学家近距离观看鲸鱼的经历。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是观鲸的魔力。故选B。 C Mom always said, “Choose your friends wisely.” Now a study led by a Rutgers-Health professor shows she was onto something: Their traits can affect you — especially ones that are in their genes. The genetic make-up of adolescent peers may have long-term consequences for individual risk of drug and alcohol use disorders, depression and anxiety, the groundbreaking study has found. “What our data illustrates is the long reach of social genetic effects,” said Jessica E. Salvatore, an associate professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and lead author of the study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Socio-genomics — the influence of one person’s genotype on the observable traits of another — is an emerging field of genomics. Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders. With an anonymous (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. The researchers then used medical, pharmacy and legal registries documenting substance use and mental health disorders for the same individuals in adulthood. Having controlled factors such as the target individuals’ own genetic tendencies and family socio-economic factors, the researchers still found a clear association between peers’ genetic tendencies and target individuals’ likelihood of developing a substance use or mental disorder. The impacts were stronger among school-based peers than geographically defined peers. Salvatore said more research is needed to understand why these connections exist. But what is clear, she said, is what the findings mean for interventions. “If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions,” she said. “It’s not enough to think about individual risk.” This research also underlines the importance of disrupting (中断) processes and risks that extend for at least a decade after attendance in school, Salvatore added. “Peer genetic influences have a very long reach,” she said. 8. Why did Salvatore and her colleagues conduct the research? A. To check former research on socio-genomics. B. To test the effectiveness of socio-genomics. C. To figure out adolescents’ current health condition. D. To explore the field of adolescents’ mental disorders. 9 What method did Salvatore and her colleagues apply in the research? A. Analyzing statistics from a database. B. Referring to previous studies. C. Conducting surveys among teenagers. D. Using a mapping tool to track individuals. 10. The significance of the research lies in that ________. A. It stressed the urgency of conducting more relevant research B. it reveals the social cost of mental disorders C. it highlighted the necessity of more effective interventions D. it envisioned the possibility of disrupting risks in a decade 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Genetic influences: The Hidden Foundation of Friendship. B. Peers’ genetic make-up: The most influential factor. C. Wise Friends: Determinants of Your Personality. D. Your School Friends: Their Genes Matter to You. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明青少年同伴的基因构成会对其朋友的心理健康和物质使用障碍风险产生长期影响，强调了同伴基因对个体的深远作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Previous research suggested that peers’ genetic make-up might influence health outcomes of their friends. To test this, Salvatore and her colleagues used Swedish national data to assess peer social genetic effects for several mental disorders. (先前的研究表明，同伴的基因构成可能会影响其朋友的健康结果。为了验证这一点，Salvatore及其同事使用瑞典国家数据来评估同伴社会遗传效应对几种精神障碍的影响)”可知，Salvatore和她的同事进行这项研究是为了验证之前关于社会基因组学的研究。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“With an anonymous (匿名的) database of more than 1.5 million individuals born in Sweden between 1980 and 1998 to Swedish-born parents, the first step was to map individuals by location and by school during their teenage years. (通过一个包含1980年至1998年间在瑞典出生、父母为瑞典人的150多万人的匿名数据库，第一步是在青少年时期按地理位置和学校对个体进行定位)”可知，Salvatore和她的同事在研究中应用的方法是分析数据库中的统计数据。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“If we want to think about how to best address these socially costly disorders, we need to think more about network-based and social interventions, (如果我们想思考如何最好地解决这些具有社会成本的障碍，我们需要更多地思考基于网络和社会的干预措施)”可知，该研究的意义在于强调了需要更有效的干预措施。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Their traits can affect you — especially ones that are in their genes. (他们的特质会影响你——尤其是那些在他们基因中的特质)”及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了研究表明青少年同伴的基因构成会对其朋友的心理健康和物质使用障碍风险产生长期影响，强调了同伴基因对个体的深远作用，所以“同伴的基因构成对你很重要”适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D You see a fantastic offer, like a hotel room. You decide to book. Then it turns out there is a service fee. Then a cleaning fee. Then a few other extra costs. By the time you pay the final price, it is no longer the fantastic offer you thought. Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. Resistance to the idea of starting the search all over again is not simply a matter of laziness or indecision. There’s a profound psychological mechanism at play here, called the present bias. In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. In simple terms, the inconvenience of doing something “right now” often feels disproportionately large. Beyond the challenge of starting over, there’s another psychological phenomenon that drip pricing uses - loss aversion. Imagine you’re booking tickets for a show. Initially attracted by the headline price, you’re now presented with different seating categories. Seeing a VIP ticket is within your budget, you decide to fork out. But then, during the checkout process, the drip begins. You realize you could have chosen lower-category seats, but by this stage, you’ve already imagined yourself enjoying the show from those nice seats. Going back to a cheaper seat will feel like a loss. Buyers would benefit from a ban on drip pricing. Many countries are taking steps to protect consumers from drip pricing. The effectiveness of such measures, however, is uncertain. Nonetheless, you can hopefully make a more informed decision by understanding why the strategy works. 12. Which of the following is an example of drip pricing? A. FlightHub introduces a bonus after you choose their flight. B. Airbnb offers you a membership account when you book a trip. C. Rent-A-Car charges wear and tear fees beyond the advertised price. D. Ticketmaster provides optional items at later stages of your purchase. 13. What does the underlined word “relinquish” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Reach. B. Abandon. C. Sign. D. Expand. 14. How will Rabin explain people’s refusal to cancel an order and remake one? A. People are likely to blindly stick to their initial intentions. B. People like to grab earlier rewards and delay immediate costs. C. People struggle to make a decision among multiple choices. D. People tend to tolerate additional costs within their budget. 15. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To explain why people fall into the drip pricing trick. B. To educate customers on how to deal with drip pricing. C. To call on governments to protect consumers’ interests. D. To introduce two psychological phenomena about spending. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了滴漏式定价的策略及其背后的心理学机制，以及消费者为何容易陷入这种定价陷阱。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”. (欢迎来到滴漏式定价的世界——一种以吸引人的标题价格促销商品的做法，然后，一旦你承诺购买过程，就会用不可避免的“滴漏式”附加条款来打击你。)”可知，Rent-A-Car在广告价格之外收取磨损费是滴漏式定价的一个例子。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“In most cases, you see through all additionally added mandatory fees, and even though you could relinquish the deal, you choose to bite the bullet and complete the deal. (在大多数情况下，你看透了所有额外的强制性费用，即使你可以relinquish这笔交易，你还是选择咬紧牙关完成这笔交易。)”可知，尽管你可以放弃这笔交易，但你还是选择咬紧牙关完成交易。relinquish意为“放弃”。A. Reach达到；B. Abandon放弃；C. Sign签名；D. Expand扩展。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段中“In the paper, Doing It Now or Later, economist Matthew Rabin defines people’s present-biased preference via an example of choosing between doing seven hours of unpleasant activity on April 1 or eight hours two weeks later: If asked on February 1, most people will choose the earlier option. But come April 1, given the same choice, most of us tend to put off work till April 15. (经济学家马修·拉宾在论文《现在做还是以后做》中，通过一个在4月1日做7小时不愉快的活动，还是在两周后做8小时不愉快的活动之间进行选择的例子，定义了人们对现在的偏好：如果在2月1日被问及这个问题，大多数人会选择更早的选项。但到了4月1日，如果面临同样的选择，我们大多数人倾向于把工作推迟到4月15日。)”可知，拉宾通过一个例子来解释人们拒绝取消订单并重新下单的原因，这个例子是选择在4月1日做7个小时的不愉快活动，还是在两周后做8个小时的活动。这表明人们喜欢提前获得奖励并推迟立即的成本。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“Welcome to the world of drip pricing — the practice of promoting something at an attractive headline price and then, once you’ve committed to the purchase process, hitting you with unavoidable add-ons that are “dripped”.

Normally I would be delighted to help in her shop, but not recently because of Rosa. Rosa was my sister, just one month old, who was settled in my old bedroom. For ten years, the small room was full of my toys and books. But now it was transformed into her baby room, decorated like a garden with pinks and yellows. My space, my old life, was gone. “Here we are!” We arrived at the shop, a wave of colour and sweet smell washing over me. My aunt said I could pick some flowers for Mum and Dad. I used to love this, but today I was so overcome with tiredness and envy. Why bother to bring them flowers when they were enjoying Rosa at home without me? Silently I helped my aunt arrange flowers. “Your mum told me there hasn’t been much shut eye recently for any of you.” “Not much, since Rosa the alarm clock was installed (安装).” I complained with a huge yawn (哈欠). “I remember having to creep (蹑手蹑脚地走) around like a worn-out mouse when your mum was a baby. I spent the first months hating her so much.” “But you and Mum seem so close,” I said, guiltily hiding away my envy of Rosa. “Now we are. But it took me years to grow into the role of big sister. Few flowers blossom (绽放) overnight, you know.” She pulled me in for aside hug, glancing up at the clock, and suggested I take a walk outside. Behind her shop was a field dotted with spring flowers. Stepping into the field, I began to pick little flowers. It was like gathering my childhood memories. I remembered how I’d sit with Dad, making flower chains, crowning (授予) each other with the silliest titles: Queen of Junk Food and King of Mess. My smile grew wider. The shining yellow flowers reminded me of the color in Rosa’s baby room. Was she awake? I wondered. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。 Suddenly I saw two familiar figures walking towards me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Rosa was wide awake in her baby basket beside the picnic blanket. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly I saw two familiar figures walking towards me. “Look who’s here!” my dad exclaimed with a smile, holding Rosa with a baby basket. The yellow flowers in my hand seemed to glow even brighter as I gazed at the beautiful little girl. I couldn’t help recalling what my aunt told me. I knew that it would take time for me to adjust to sharing my parents’ attention and my old room, but I was determined to be the best big sister I could be. Then I carefully arranged the yellow flowers into a small bouquet and handed it to my mom with a smile. “These are for you and Dad, and also for Rosa,” I said, feeling the warmth in my chest that had been missing earlier. Rosa was wide awake in her baby basket beside the picnic blanket. Her big blue eyes were open, taking in the world around her. As I watched my little sister, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder and amazement at how perfect she was. I gently picked her up and held her close, feeling her warmth and breathing in the sweet scent of her hair. I knew that from now on, my life would never be the same. I would no longer be the center of attention, and I would have to share my parents with this beautiful little creature. But as I looked into Rosa’s eyes, I knew that it was all worth it. She was my family, and I loved her more than anything in the world. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和姑姑去她的花店里帮忙，因为有了一个小妹妹，她那间装满玩具和书的小房子被改造成了妹妹的婴儿房，她感到自己的空间，自己过去的生活，都消失了，为此她很沮丧，后来在姑姑的引导下，逐渐释怀的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，我看见两个熟悉的身影向我走来。”可知，第一段可描写作者的父母带着她的妹妹来找她及她的思想变化。 ②由第二段首句内容“罗莎在野餐毯旁边的婴儿筐里完全醒着。”可知，第二段可描写作者的妹妹罗莎的可爱样子及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：父母来找作者——作者看着可爱的妹妹，想起姑姑的话——作者的思想变化，要做一个好姐姐——给父母送花——看着可爱的妹妹——思想认识上再次得到提升 3.词汇激活（一个词汇要写出相近的表达） 行为类 ①望着：gaze at/look at ②适应：adjust/adapt ③抱起：pick up/take up 情绪类 ①惊奇：wonder/ surprise ②爱：love/like 【点睛】[高分句型1] The yellow flowers in my hand seemed to glow even brighter as I gazed at the beautiful little girl.
