In the sand franco bay area, there are a total of four lines that are known by colour, yellow, orange, red and blue. All lines travel through, and Frances co. And service runs from five o'clock AM to midnight. An interesting fact is that only one third of the stations are below street level. The rest are either at street level or travel high above the freeway. The average speed of the trains is thirty five miles per hour, but they can go up to eighty miles hour. The cost to ride the trains depends on how far you want to go. Many people who live in the suburbs take the train into san Francisco to go to work. This means that the system is very crowded from seven o'clock AM, two, nine o'clock AM and again, from three o'clock PM to six o'clock PM. But outside these times, the subway system is not very busy. This can be great if you want to get a seat, but IT also means that there are fewer trains. During rush hour, trains come every five to ten minutes, but in the middle of the day and late at night, trains come every twenty to thirty minutes.

(沙琳·特雷贡宁本想为自己的60岁生日过一个精彩的假期，但丈夫巴里却带上了他令人厌烦的朋友雷，以及雷沉闷无趣的妹妹。霉运和争吵不断挑战着这群人的底线，他们过往的伤痛也被迫公之于众)”可知，沙琳的这场旅行充满不顺和不快，是令人失望且心烦意乱的。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Whisky Widow- Karen Brooks部分中的“Another standout story if you enjoyed Karen’s bestselling The Good Wife of Bath. (如果你喜欢卡伦的畅销书《巴斯的贤妻》，这本同样是不容错过的佳作)”可知，《巴斯的贤妻》是卡伦·布鲁克斯的作品。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Tangled Web- Tea Cooper部分中的“When Viola Oswald’s beloved brother Sebastian dies of a blood disease, Viola suspects her stepfather, a prestigious surgeon, has used Sebastian’s illness to enhance his reputation. (当维奥拉·奥斯瓦尔德挚爱的哥哥塞巴斯蒂安死于血液病时，维奥拉怀疑她那身为知名外科医生的继父，利用塞巴斯蒂安的病来抬高自己的名声)”可知，维奥拉的继父是一位受人尊敬和钦佩的著名医生。故选B项。 B A little mix-up between two Bentley’s restaurants — one in Nova Scotia, the other over 1, 500 miles away in Alabama — has turned into a sweet international apology. Darcy and Laura Clarke, the couple behind Bentley’s Burgers and Fries in West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, recently opened their mail to find a handwritten note and $40 in U.S. cash from a stranger in Alabama. According to reporting from CBC, the mysterious sender had accidentally placed a take-out order with the wrong Bentley’s — and felt so bad about never picking it up that he or she mailed money across the continent to make it right. Darcy had taken the original order on October 1st: two cheeseburgers and fries. The caller had a southern accent, but with tourists passing through all the time, nothing seemed unusual. When the food sat unclaimed for over an hour, the Clarkes simply gave it to another customer and moved on. The next morning, though, this Alabamian sat down with a piece of loose-leaf paper and wrote what might be the most polite long-distance mix-up apology in history. “Obviously, I called the wrong restaurant,” the letter said. “I hope the amount enclosed is enough for the cost of my embarrassing mistake. My sincerest apologies.” Not only was the money enough for the meal — it even left a little extra. Laura has told CBC that they plan to use the remainder in the happiest way possible: adding it to their summer ice cream shop so they can hand out free treats to kids next season. Darcy has shared the story on his Facebook page, where it has drawn millions of comments cheering on this anonymous (匿名的) act of honesty. Darcy says he plans to send a thank-you package to the return address — complete with a Christmas card and some Bentley’s seasoning. At a time when U. S. — Canada chatter can feel divided, this tiny moment of accountability and kindness has brought people on both sides of the border a much- needed smile. 24. Why didn’t the caller pick up the food? A. He was too busy to collect it. B. He forgot about the meal. C. He was too far from the restaurant . D. The restaurant missed his order. 25. Where do you think Nova Scotia might be? A. In the south of the USA. B. In the state of Alabama. C. In Australia. D. In Canada. 26. What did the Clarkes do after receiving the mail? A. They returned the money to the sender in a package. B. They gave the ordered food to another customer. C. They posted the heartwarming story on social media. D. They donated the $40 to poor kids in the neighborhood. 27. What do you think the caller may be? A. A trustworthy southerner. B. A wealthy boss. C. A foodie blogger. D. A seasoned traveler. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述加拿大Nova Scotia和美国Alabama两家同名餐厅的小乌龙，阿拉巴马顾客误订餐未取，寄钱道歉，店主分享故事，此事暖化美加边界关系。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“the mysterious sender had accidentally placed a take-out order with the wrong Bentley’s — and felt so bad about never picking it up that he or she mailed money across the continent to make it right (神秘的寄件人不小心在错误的Bentley餐厅订了外卖，而且因为没有去取而感到非常内疚，所以他或她寄钱横跨整个大陆来弥补错误)”以及第三段“Darcy had taken the original order on October 1st: two cheeseburgers and fries. The caller had a southern accent, but with tourists passing through all the time, nothing seemed unusual. When the food sat unclaimed for over an hour, the Clarkes simply gave it to another customer and moved on. (Darcy在10月1日接到了原始订单：两个芝士汉堡和薯条。打电话的人有南方口音，但由于一直有游客经过，所以没什么不寻常的。当食物无人认领超过一个小时后，Clarkes夫妇就把食物给了另一位顾客，然后继续忙去了)”可知，打电话的人是因为订错了餐厅，而正确的餐厅离他很远，所以他无法去取食物。故选C项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A little mix-up between two Bentley’s restaurants — one in Nova Scotia, the other over 1,500 miles away in Alabama — has turned into a sweet international apology. (两家Bentley餐厅之间的小误会——一家在Nova Scotia，另一家在1500多英里外的Alabama——已经变成了一场甜蜜的国际道歉)”以及最后一段“At a time when U.S.—Canada chatter can feel divided, this tiny moment of accountability and kindness has brought people on both sides of the border a much-needed smile. (在美国和加拿大之间的交流让人感觉有分歧的时候，这个小小的责任和善意的时刻给边境两边的人们带来了急需的微笑)”可知，Nova Scotia和Alabama分属不同的国家，且根据常识可知Alabama是美国的一个州，由此可推断出Nova Scotia是加拿大的一个地方。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Darcy has shared the story on his Facebook page, where it has drawn millions of comments cheering on this anonymous (匿名的) act of honesty. (Darcy在他的Facebook页面上分享了这个故事，这个故事吸引了数百万条评论，为这个匿名的诚实行为欢呼)”可知，Clarkes夫妇收到邮件后，Darcy把这个暖心的故事发布到了社交媒体上。选项C“They posted the heartwarming story on social media.(他们把这个暖心的故事发布到了社交媒体上)”符合题意。故选C项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The next morning, though, this Alabamian sat down with a piece of loose-leaf paper and wrote what might be the most polite long-distance mix-up apology in history. (然而，第二天早上，这位Alabama人坐在一张活页纸前，写下了可能是历史上最礼貌的长途误会道歉信)”以及第五段“‘Obviously, I called the wrong restaurant,’ the letter said. ‘I hope the amount enclosed is enough for the cost of my embarrassing mistake. My sincerest apologies.’ (信中说：“显然，我打错餐厅了。我希望随信附上的钱足够支付我尴尬错误的费用。我诚挚地道歉。”)”可知，打电话的人在发现自己打错餐厅且没有去取食物后，感到非常内疚，并主动寄钱来弥补错误，还写了一封非常礼貌的道歉信，由此可推断出他是一个值得信赖的南方人。故选A项。 C In most AI’s history, machines have not truly “figured things out” on their own. They have learned — but only after humans first engineered the rules that allow them to learn. Even in reinforcement learning, where an AI agent trains itself by trial and error, the backbone of the process — the learning algorithm (算法) — is always human-designed. But a new study published in Nature hints that this division of labor may not last long. Researchers have created an AI system that discovered a completely new way to learn, without being told how to do it—and then outperformed the best human-designed algorithms on some of the hardest tests in the field. The researchers created a vast population of AI agents, dropped them into numerous complex environments, and gave them an initial learning rule. Each agent tried to solve its tasks. Their successes and failures were then evaluated by a separate AI system, a kind of meta-intelligence (元智能) , which acted like evolution itself. This meta-network did not learn the tasks. It learned how to change the learning rule itself. After each generation of agents, it adjusted the rule so the next generation could adapt more successfully. Over many cycles, a new learning rule emerged. The researchers named the discovered rule DiscoRL, and a specific implementation (实施) , tested on 57 Atari environments, was nicknamed Disco57. The team used it to train a fresh AI agent and evaluated its performance against some of the strongest human-engineered algorithms ever developed. Disco57-trained agents outperformed all human-designed reinforcement algorithms. And in the hardest tests, where strategies must be invented on the fly, again, DiscoRL showed state-of-the-art performance, despite never being clearly programmed by humans for these domains. This really matters because doing well on unseen tasks is the closest thing AI has to a definition of “true intelligence.” It demonstrates not memorization but transferable learning. DiscoRL wasn’t just running a rule invented by researchers — it was using a learning strategy invented by itself. 28. Why does the author mention “the backbone of the process”? A. To prove AI can figure out tasks independently. B. To confirm AI’s ability to reinforce task-learning. C. To present the fact that AI can divide backbones efficiently. D. To illustrate that AI machines do missions programmed by humans. 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The organizer of the study. B. The process of the research. C. The implication of the research. D. The application of the study. 30. What does the underlined word “state-of-the-art” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Totally different. B. Particularly disadvantaged. C. The best available. D. Arranged in a beautiful way. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on AI research. B. To present a discovery in AI development. C.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍人工智能领域的一项新突破——一款能自主发现全新学习方式的AI系统，该系统在多项测试中表现优于人类设计的算法，打破了AI学习规则需由人类设定的传统模式。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“They have learned — but only after humans first engineered the rules that allow them to learn. Even in reinforcement learning, where an AI agent trains itself by trial and error, the backbone of the process— the learning algorithm (算法) — is always human-designed. (人工智能确实具备学习能力，但前提是人类必须先为其设计好学习规则。即便是在智能体通过反复试错自主训练的强化学习领域，该过程的核心——学习算法——也始终是由人类设计的)”可知，作者提及“the backbone of the process”是为了阐明人工智能执行任务的基础是人类编写的程序。故选D项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The researchers created a vast population of AI agents, dropped them into numerous complex environments, and gave them an initial learning rule. Each agent tried to solve its tasks. Their successes and failures were then evaluated by a separate AI system, a kind of meta-intelligence (元智能) , which acted like evolution itself. This meta-network did not learn the tasks. It learned how to change the learning rule itself. After each generation of agents, it adjusted the rule so the next generation could adapt more successfully. Over many cycles, a new learning rule emerged. The researchers named the discovered rule DiscoRL, and a specific implementation (实施) , tested on 57 Atari environments, was nicknamed Disco57.(研究人员打造出一大批人工智能智能体，将它们投放至各式各样的复杂环境中，并为其设定了一套初始学习规则。每一个智能体都尝试着手解决分配给自己的任务。随后，一个独立的人工智能系统 —— 一种兼具进化功能的元智能 —— 会对这些智能体的成败进行评估。这个元网络并不学习具体任务，而是习得如何自主调整学习规则。每一代智能体完成任务后，它都会对规则进行优化，以便下一代智能体能够更顺利地适应环境。经过多轮循环迭代，一套全新的学习规则应运而生。研究人员将这套新发现的规则命名为 DiscoRL，其中一个在 57 个雅达利游戏环境中完成测试的具体实施方案，被赋予了 “Disco57” 的昵称）”可知，该段主要介绍了这项研究的具体实施过程。故选B项。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Disco57-trained agents outperformed all human-designed reinforcement algorithms. And in the hardest tests, where strategies must be invented on the fly, again, DiscoRL showed state-of-the-art performance (经Disco57训练的智能体，表现优于所有人类设计的强化学习算法。在需要实时制定策略的高难度测试中，DiscoRL再次展现出state-of-the-art的性能)”可知，前文强调该系统优于人类设计的算法，因此“state-of-the-art”应表示“顶尖的；现有最优的”。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章开篇指出传统AI的学习规则由人类设计的局限性，接着详细介绍一款能自主进化学习规则的新AI系统的研发过程、测试表现，最后点明这项突破对实现“真正的人工智能”的意义。由此可推知，作者的写作目的是介绍人工智能发展领域的一项新发现。故选B项。 D There’s a perception that today’s youth are extremely narcissistic (自恋的) —fame-obsessed, selfish and vain. In fact, studies show this is a common view of young people, regardless of the times we live in. But are young people really more narcissistic? New research reveals that, as people age, they do tend to become less narcissistic. Narcissism is a multi-dimensional personality, which captures features beyond pride and self-absorption. Emerging research suggests there are three dimensions of narcissism: agentic, antagonistic and neurotic. Agentic narcissism involves the need for admiration and feelings of superiority. Antagonistic narcissism is characterized by the lack of empathy towards other people. Finally, neurotic narcissism refers to being sensitive and having difficulties regulating one's emotions. In order to fully understand narcissism, the new study looked at all the three features. They analyzed data from 51 longitudinal studies (meaning studies which follow participants over time) , all of which measured how participants' levels of narcissism changed. To select the studies, the team used the American Psychiatric Association (APA) PsychInfo database of papers, searching for terms including "narcissism” and "narcissistic”. Each article was reviewed by two coders. The coders independently selected the studies based on details including sample size, gender ratio, and the country in which the sample was collected. This procedure generated a dataset which comprised of 37, 247 participants (52% female) ranging from ages 8 to 77 years. The researchers found that all three dimensions of narcissism declined across the life span. There was a small decline for agentic narcissism and a moderate reduction for antagonistic and neurotic narcissism. The researchers also found that people's narcissism relative to that of their peers remained consistent over the life span. In other words, people who were more narcissistic than average as children remained more narcissistic than average as adults. 32. What is the finding of the new study? A. Old people are less narcissistic than they were young. B. Young women are more narcissistic than young men. C. People are more narcissistic these days than in the past. D. Young people are becoming more narcissistic than before. 33. Which behavior might be narcissistic? A. Feeling less important than others. B. Admiring all the people around. C. Laughing at his own embarrassment. D. Flying into a temper every day. 34. How did the new study obtain the data? A. By conducting experiments on their own. B. By handing out questionnaires in the lab. C. By consulting previous studies of other organizations. D. By observing participants and recording their responses. 35. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Narcissism, A Fashion Among Us. B. We Get Less Narcissistic With Age. C. How to Avoid Becoming Narcissistic. D. Children Remain More Narcissistic. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35.

I’m going to Jerry’s.” With these words, he raced out of the door and slammed it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day, so they could make the freshman team. Seeing Jerry waiting outside, Tom lifted his bat onto his shoulder and asked, “What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?” Jerry shook his head, “I have to clean Mr. Smith’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Smiths. They’re kind of old.” “Okay,” said Tom. “I’ll help you. We’ll get done quicker working together.” The boys went down the block to the Smiths’ and got started. They put boxes that were scattered (散落) around the garage floor on shelves before they swept. As Jerry lifted a big box onto a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked up the envelope and found it wasn’t sealed. He opened it, inside which were lots of one-hundred-dollar bills. Gasping in astonishment, Jerry pulled out a handful of bills and showed them to Tom. “Where did you get that?” asked Tom. Jerry pointed to the shelf, explaining, “It just fell down when the box fell. There must be a couple of thousand dollars here.” He looked past Tom to the opening garage door. “Nobody is around. If I take some, I bet no one will ever know,” added Jerry, uncontrollably picturing the bat and glove in McGroger’s Sports Store that he had longed for. Tom frowned and shook his head. “Are you crazy? That’s stealing.” “Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing; it’s kind of payment for my hard work.” Jerry defended himself. “Forget about it. You’re better than that.” Tom grabbed the money from Jerry’s hand, stuffed it back in the envelope and put the envelope back on the shelf. “Come on! Let’s get done and go to the park.” Tom urged. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Hello, boys.

Mrs. Smith baked you a chocolate cake.” Mr. Smith appeared and invited them in. His sudden appearance gave Jerry such a start. He managed a smile and stammered, “Ugh... sure, Mr. Smith. Let us finish up and... and we’ll be right in.” After Mr. Smith went out, Jerry turned to Tom, sighing in relief, “Phew! That was close. Tom, you’re right. I don’t know what got into me just now. In fact, Mrs. Smith always makes me cakes and cookies.” Then they got down to cleaning the garage quickly and before long they found themselves at the table enjoying big slices of chocolate cake and a glass of milk each. As they wolfed the cake and were about to leave, Mrs. Smith stopped Jerry. Jerry’s heart was in his mouth again. However, to his surprise, Mrs. Smith handed him a brand-new bat and glove with a gracious smile, “This is for you. I heard this is something you’d like. We try to find little ways to show our appreciation for what you’ve done for us.” Looking at the bat and glove and then at Tom, Jerry flushed, shame welling up in him. “Thanks so much. I love them!” Seeing this, Tom surrounded his armsaround Jerry’s shoulders, giving him a warm hug, as if congratulating and saying “See, you not only have the bat and glove you wanted, but also honesty and integrity.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。暑假伊始，Tom和Jerry计划打棒球进校队。Jerry要先帮史密斯先生清理车库，Tom决定帮忙。清理时发现一个没封的信封，里面有很多百元钞票，Jerry想拿，Tom坚决阻止并放回。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“‘孩子们好呀，Smith太太给你们烤了巧克力蛋糕。’Smith先生突然出现，邀请他们进屋。”可知，第一段可以描写Smith先生突然出现邀请Tom和Jerry吃蛋糕，Jerry看到Smith先生后的反应和内心想法，两人快速打扫车库的行为，以及最后享用蛋糕和牛奶的温馨场景。 ②由第二段句首内容“当他们狼吞虎咽地吃完蛋糕正要离开时，Smith太太拦住了Jerry。”可知，第二段可以描写Jerry被Smith夫人叫住时的紧张心情，Smith夫人赠送他棒球棒和手套的举动及原因，Jerry收到礼物后的羞愧与感动，以及汤姆拥抱杰里、暗示他收获诚实品格的情节，以此升华故事主旨。 2.续写线索：受邀吃蛋糕——受惊后打扫车库——享用蛋糕牛奶——被叫住心生紧张——获赠礼物感到羞愧——收获礼物与诚实品格 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 使受惊：give sb. a start /take sb. by surprise /shock sb. ② 松了口气：sigh in relief /breathe a sigh of relief /relax with relief ③ 埋头做某事：get down to doing /set about doing /start working on 情绪类 ① 惊讶：surprise/astonishment ② 喜爱：love/be fond of/adore 【点睛】【高分句型1】After Mr. Smith went out, Jerry turned to Tom, sighing in relief, “Phew!

B A little mix-up between two Bentley’s restaurants — one in Nova Scotia, the other over 1, 500 miles away in Alabama — has turned into a sweet international apology. Darcy and Laura Clarke, the couple behind Bentley’s Burgers and Fries in West Chezzetcook, Nova Scotia, recently opened their mail to find a handwritten note and $40 in U.S. cash from a stranger in Alabama. According to reporting from CBC, the mysterious sender had accidentally placed a take-out order with the wrong Bentley’s — and felt so bad about never picking it up that he or she mailed money across the continent to make it right. Darcy had taken the original order on October 1st: two cheeseburgers and fries. The caller had a southern accent, but with tourists passing through all the time, nothing seemed unusual. When the food sat unclaimed for over an hour, the Clarkes simply gave it to another customer and moved on. The next morning, though, this Alabamian sat down with a piece of loose-leaf paper and wrote what might be the most polite long-distance mix-up apology in history. “Obviously, I called the wrong restaurant,” the letter said. “I hope the amount enclosed is enough for the cost of my embarrassing mistake. My sincerest apologies.” Not only was the money enough for the meal — it even left a little extra Laura has told CBC that they plan to use the remainder in the happiest way possible: adding it to their summer ice cream shop so they can hand out free treats to kids next season. Darcy has shared the story on his Facebook page, where it has drawn millions of comments cheering on this anonymous (匿名的) act of honesty. Darcy says he plans to send a thank-you package to the return address — complete with a Christmas card and some Bentley’s seasoning. At a time when U. S. — Canada chatter can feel divided, this tiny moment of accountability and kindness has brought people on both sides of the border a much- needed smile. 24. Why didn’t the caller pick up the food? A. He was too busy to collect it. B. He forgot about the meal. C. He was too far from the restaurant . D. The restaurant missed his order. 25. Where do you think Nova Scotia might be? A. In the south of the USA. B. In the state of Alabama. C. In Australia. D. In Canada. 26. What did the Clarkes do after receiving the mail? A. They returned the money to the sender in a package. B. They gave the ordered food to another customer. C. They posted the heartwarming story on social media. D. They donated the $40 to poor kids in the neighborhood. 27. What do you think the caller may be? A. A trustworthy southerner. B. A wealthy boss. C. A foodie blogger. D. A seasoned traveler. C In most AI’s history, machines have not truly “figured things out” on their own. They have learned — but only after humans first engineered the rules that allow them to learn. Even in reinforcement learning, where an AI agent trains itself by trial and error, the backbone of the process — the learning algorithm (算法) — is always human-designed. But a new study published in Nature hints that this division of labor may not last long. Researchers have created an AI system that discovered a completely new way to learn, without being told how to do it—and then outperformed the best human-designed algorithms on some of the hardest tests in the field. The researchers created a vast population of AI agents, dropped them into numerous complex environments, and gave them an initial learning rule. Each agent tried to solve its tasks. Their successes and failures were then evaluated by a separate AI system, a kind of meta-intelligence (元智能) , which acted like evolution itself. This meta-network did not learn the tasks. It learned how to change the learning rule itself. After each generation of agents, it adjusted the rule so the next generation could adapt more successfully. Over many cycles, a new learning rule emerged. The researchers named the discovered rule DiscoRL, and a specific implementation (实施) , tested on 57 Atari environments, was nicknamed Disco57. The team used it to train a fresh AI agent and evaluated its performance against some of the strongest human-engineered algorithms ever developed. Disco57-trained agents outperformed all human-designed reinforcement algorithms. And in the hardest tests, where strategies must be invented on the fly, again, DiscoRL showed state-of-the-art performance, despite never being clearly programmed by humans for these domains. This really matters because doing well on unseen tasks is the closest thing AI has to a definition of “true intelligence.” It demonstrates not memorization but transferable learning. DiscoRL wasn’t just running a rule invented by researchers — it was using a learning strategy invented by itself. 28. Why does the author mention “the backbone of the process”? A. To prove AI can figure out tasks independently. B. To confirm AI’s ability to reinforce task-learning. C. To present the fact that AI can divide backbones efficiently. D. To illustrate that AI machines do missions programmed by humans. 29. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The organizer of the study. B. The process of the research. C. The implication of the research. D. The application of the study. 30. What does the underlined word “state-of-the-art” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Totally different. B. Particularly disadvantaged. C. The best available. D. Arranged in a beautiful way. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a book on AI research. B. To present a discovery in AI development. C. To clarify the classification of AI agents. D. To honor an emerging AI computing company. D There’s a perception that today’s youth are extremely narcissistic (自恋) —fame-obsessed, selfish and vain. In fact, studies show this is a common view of young people, regardless of the times we live in. But are young people really more narcissistic? New research reveals that, as people age, they do tend to become less narcissistic. Narcissism is a multi-dimensional personality, which captures features beyond pride and self-absorption. Emerging research suggests there are three dimensions of narcissism: agentic, antagonistic and neurotic. Agentic narcissism involves the need for admiration and feelings of superiority. Antagonistic narcissism is characterized by the lack of empathy towards other people. Finally, neurotic narcissism refers to being sensitive and having difficulties regulating one's emotions. In order to fully understand narcissism, the new study looked at all the three features. They analyzed data from 51 longitudinal studies (meaning studies which follow participants over time) , all of which measured how participants' levels of narcissism changed. To select the studies, the team used the American Psychiatric Association (APA) PsychInfo database of papers, searching for terms including "narcissism” and "narcissistic”. Each article was reviewed by two coders. The coders independently selected the studies based on details including sample size, gender ratio, and the country in which the sample was collected. This procedure generated a dataset which comprised of 37, 247 participants (52% female) ranging from ages 8 to 77 years. The researchers found that all three dimensions of narcissism declined across the life span. There was a small decline for agentic narcissism and a moderate reduction for antagonistic and neurotic narcissism. The researchers also found that people's narcissism relative to that of their peers remained consistent over the life span. In other words, people who were more narcissistic than average as children remained more narcissistic than average as adults. 32. What is the finding of the new study? A. Old people are less narcissistic than they were young. B. Young women are more narcissistic than young men. C. People are more narcissistic these days than in the past. D. Young people are becoming more narcissistic than before. 33. Which behavior might be narcissistic? A. Feeling less important than others. B. Admiring all the people around. C. Laughing at his own embarrassment. D. Flying into a temper every day. 34. How did the new study obtain the data? A. By conducting experiments on their own. B. By handing out questionnaires in the lab. C. By consulting previous studies of other organizations. D. By observing participants and recording their responses. 35. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Narcissism, A Fashion Among Us. B. We Get Less Narcissistic With Age. C. How to Avoid Becoming Narcissistic. D. Children Remain More Narcissistic. 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。 Things You Should Consider Before Agreeing to Pet Sitting When business trips come up, pet owners are often in a difficult situation.

I’m going to Jerry’s.” With these words, he raced out of the door and slammed it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day, so they could make the freshman team. Seeing Jerry waiting outside, Tom lifted his bat onto his shoulder and asked, “What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?” Jerry shook his head, “I have to clean Mr. Smith’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Smiths. They’re kind of old.” “Okay,” said Tom. “I’ll help you. We’ll get done quicker working together.” The boys went down the block to the Smiths’ and got started. They put boxes that were scattered (散落) around the garage floor on shelves before they swept. As Jerry lifted a big box onto a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked up the envelope and found it wasn’t sealed. He opened it, inside which were lots of one-hundred-dollar bills. Gasping in astonishment, Jerry pulled out a handful of bills and showed them to Tom. “Where did you get that?” asked Tom. Jerry pointed to the shelf, explaining, “It just fell down when the box fell. There must be a couple of thousand dollars here.” He looked past Tom to the opening garage door. “Nobody is around. If I take some, I bet no one will ever know,” added Jerry, uncontrollably picturing the bat and glove in McGroger’s Sports Store that he had longed for. Tom frowned and shook his head. “Are you crazy? That’s stealing.” “Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing; it’s kind of payment for my hard work.” Jerry defended himself. “Forget about it. You’re better than that.” Tom grabbed the money from Jerry’s hand, stuffed it back in the envelope and put the envelope back on the shelf. “Come on! Let’s get done and go to the park.” Tom urged. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Hello, boys.
