The student stared back, crossed his arms over his chest, and lifted his chin. “What is your problem, young man?” the professor demanded. “You,” the student replied. “Me?” “Yeah, you and the boring course you’re teaching.” I sat in terror and surprise. I had never seen such a scene. “Get out of my class!” Dr. Simpson thundered. The student snatched up his books and headed toward the classroom door. The door slammed shut, and Dr. Simpson continued his lecture. I didn’t hear a word he said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the room. Five minutes or so went by; Dr. Simpson stopped his lecture. He scanned the class and asked, “What have I been lecturing about for the last five minutes?” I didn’t know. Nobody knew. The class was silent. Then, Dr. Simpson said, “John, go tell Fred that he can come back in.” As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him and complimented him on an excellent acting job. As it turned out, they had cooked it up ahead of time. We sat in stunned silence. And then, Dr. Simpson said something I would never forget. “You weren’t listening to my lecture. None of you were. You were all thinking about Fred and our little dust-up. Remember that when you start teaching, any time there is a disruption in class, you lose your students’ attention.” It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college. Over the years, my class was interrupted by fire alarms and other distractions. Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave my students five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said cheerfully, “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!” 46. Why didn’t the author hear Dr. Simpson’s lecture after Fred left? A. The author was too scared of Dr. Simpson’s anger. B. The author’s attention was entirely on Fred. C. Dr. Simpson’s lecture was too boring to follow. D. The author was busy taking notes about the incident. 47. What does the underlined part “cooked it up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Invented a plan. B. Made an excuse. C. Found a solution. D. Created a puzzle. 48 How did the students feel after they knew the truth? A. Satisfied. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Disappointed. 49. What does the author want to share by writing the text? A. A strategy to attract students. B. A strategy to handle a conflict. C. A way to discipline students. D. A way to deal with a disruption. 50. Which word can best describe Dr. Simpson’s teaching style? A. Strict and traditional. B. Humorous and casual. C. Creative and instructive. D. Boring and uninteresting. 【答案】46. B 47. A 48. C 49. D 50. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在大学时，Simpson教授通过一场精心设计的课堂“冲突”给作者上了一堂关于如何应对课堂干扰的课。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“I didn’t hear a word he said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the room.(他说的我一个字也没听进去。我全部的注意力都集中在那个冲出房间的学生身上)”可知，Fred离开后，作者没有听到Simpson教授的课是因为作者的注意力完全在Fred身上。故选B。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him and complimented him on an excellent acting job.(当Fred回到座位时，Simpson博士感谢了他，并称赞他表演得非常出色)”以及第四段“We sat in stunned silence.(我们震惊地沉默着)”可知，Fred和Simpson教授的冲突是提前设计好的，目的是为了给同学们上一课。所以“cooked it up”意思是“编造了一个计划”。故选A。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“We sat in stunned silence.(我们坐在那里，震惊得一片沉默)”可知，学生们在得知这是一场表演后感到震惊和困惑，无法立刻反应。这种情绪属于“confused(困惑的)”。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave my students five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said cheerfully, “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!”(每次我失去学生的注意力时，我都会回想起Simpson博士那天教给我的一课。我给学生们五分钟时间讨论发生了什么，然后高兴地说：“让我们回到今天的课程计划吧！”)”可知，作者写这篇文章是想分享一种应对课堂干扰的方法。故选D。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，Simpson教授通过一场精心设计的课堂“冲突”给作者上了一堂关于如何应对课堂干扰的课，说明他的教学方法很有创意，并且这一课对作者产生了深远的影响，说明他的教学方法很有启发性，所以Simpson教授的教学风格是有创意且有启发性的。故选C。 C Across northern Australia, a great number of freshwater crocodiles are dying, with some populations down by 70%. That’s because the animals are eating a kind of super-poisonous toad (蟾蜍) that humans brought to the continent decades ago. Georgia Ward-Fear, an ecologist at Macquarie University in Sydney, has witnessed the death of the crocodiles first-hand. The loss of so many crocodiles is a problem because they sit atop the food web, “When they decline,” Ward-Fear says, “we see this huge hole in the ecosystem.” When about a hundred cane toads were first brought from Hawaii to Australia in 1935 people had high hopes that the toads would feast on the beetles damaging the local sugarcane crop. But the toads were a total failure. “They didn’t control the beetles,” says Ward-Fear. “Instead, they started spreading across Australia.” Today, an estimated 200 million cane toads are hopping around the continent. She says that at first, no one really noticed the invasive toads’ spread. But then a whole range of animals started dying — including lizards, snakes, a furry cat-size marsupial called a quoll and lots of freshwater crocodiles. The cause of death was a potent brew of toxins (一种强效毒素混合物) that the cane toads produce and store in their bodies. A crocodile’s first encounter with a toad is always deadly, so the animal has no chance of learning. But Ward-Fear and her colleagues wondered whether there might be a way to warn the crocodiles somehow. To teach the crocodiles, the team members needed bait (诱饵). But they couldn’t use a full cane toad loaded up with poisons. “So we cut off the top half of their body,” says Ward-Fear, “so that crocodiles are still getting the smell and the taste, but we’ve taken the most poisonous parts off. We injected something that makes the crocodiles feel sick. It’s essentially food poisoning.” In a study published in Proceeding of the Royal Society B, Ward-Fear and her colleagues report that they’ve managed to reduce crocodile death rates by as much as 95% — by feeding the animals dead cane toads that have been changed to cause food poisoning. The crocodiles came to associate the toads with a temporarily unpleasant feeling, making them less willing to eat a deadly toad in the future. 51. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Crocodiles Are Suffering from Food Poisoning. B. Cane Toads Present a Great Threat to Crocodiles. C. Scientists Find a Way to Save Crocodiles in Danger. D. Scientists Try to Control the Number of Cane Toads. 52. Why can’t crocodiles learn to avoid cane toads naturally? A. They are not smart enough to recognize dangers. B. Their first contact with toads is always deadly. C. Cane toads spread too quickly across Australia. D. Toxins from toads are hard to detect. 53. What did Ward-Fear’s team do to the cane toads when making bait? A. They used live cane toads with reduced toxins. B. They removed the most poisonous parts and added a sick-inducing substance. C. They injected the toads with a chemical that kills crocodiles. D. They only kept the top half of the toads’ bodies. 54. What result did Ward-Fear’s study achieve? A. Crocodiles completely stopped eating cane toads. B. The number of cane toads decreased by 95%. C. Crocodile death rates dropped sharply. D. The ecosystem in northern Australia recovered. 55. We can infer from the text that cane toads _________. A. were originally introduced to Australia to protect local animals B. have become a threat to multiple species in Australia C. are now mainly distributed in southern Australia D. produce toxins only when they are attacked 【答案】51. C 52. B 53. B 54. C 55. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了澳大利亚北部淡水鳄鱼因食用人类引入的甘蔗蟾蜍而大量死亡，导致生态系统失衡。生态学家Georgia Ward-Fear团队开发了一种创新方法：通过改造蟾蜍诱饵（移除毒素部分并注入致吐物质），使鳄鱼产生厌恶学习，成功降低其死亡率95%。 【51题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In a study published in Proceeding of the Royal Society B, Ward-Fear and her colleagues report that they’ve managed to reduce crocodile death rates by as much as 95% — by feeding the animals dead cane toads that have been changed to cause food poisoning.(在发表于《英国皇家学会学报 B 辑》的一项研究中，沃德 - 菲尔及其同事报告称，他们已成功将鳄鱼的死亡率降低了高达 95%—— 方法是给这些鳄鱼喂食经过处理、可引发食物中毒的死蔗蟾蜍)”以及文章的核心和重点在于科学家如何找到一种创新的方法来解决鳄鱼因误食蟾蜍死亡的问题，并取得了成功。C选项“科学家找到了拯救濒危鳄鱼的方法”最符合文章标题。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“A crocodile’s first encounter with a toad is always deadly, so the animal has no chance of learning.(鳄鱼首次与蟾蜍接触往往就会被毒死，因此它们没有机会学习躲避这种猎物)”可知，因为第一次吃蟾蜍就会导致死亡，所以鳄鱼根本没有机会活下来学习到这种动物是不能吃的。故选B。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“So we cut off the top half of their body,” says Ward-Fear, “so that crocodiles are still getting the smell and the taste, but we’ve taken the most poisonous parts off. We injected something that makes the crocodiles feel sick.(“我们把它们身体的上半部分切掉了，”沃德-费尔说道，“这样一来，鳄鱼还能闻到气味、尝到味道，但已经去除了毒性最强的部分。我们还给它们注射了一种能让它们感到不适的物质。”)”可知，沃德-费尔的团队在制作诱饵时去除了毒性最强的部分，并注入了一种会让鳄鱼感到不适的物质。故选B。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In a study published in Proceeding of the Royal Society B, Ward-Fear and her colleagues report that they’ve managed to reduce crocodile death rates by as much as 95% — by feeding the animals dead cane toads that have been changed to cause food poisoning.(在发表于《英国皇家学会学报 B 辑》的一项研究中，沃德-菲尔及其同事报告称，他们已成功将鳄鱼的死亡率降低了高达95%—— 方法是给这些鳄鱼喂食经过处理、可引发食物中毒的死蔗蟾蜍)”可知，研究的核心成果：将鳄鱼的死亡率降低了高达95%。故选C。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“But then a whole range of animals started dying — including lizards, snakes, a furry cat-size marsupial called a quoll and lots of freshwater crocodiles.(但随后，一系列动物开始相继死亡——包括蜥蜴、蛇、一种体型像猫但长有袋状育儿袋的有袋类动物——叫“考尔”，以及大量的淡水鳄鱼)”可知，蟾蜍已经成为对澳大利亚多种物种的威胁。故选B。 D If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says. But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.” “Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.” “Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles. 56. Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________. A. reasonable B. objective C. unwise D. smart 57 Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue? A. A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner. B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day. C. A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning. D. A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination. 58. When do people feel less decision fatigue? A. When they take decision shortcuts. B. When they have advisers to turn to. C. When they have major decisions to make. D. When they help others to make decisions. 59. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in? A. They stop trying anything new. B. They adopt a totally new idea. C. They tend to make risky decisions. D. They turn to physicians for advice. 60. What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making? A. It will often end in regret. B. It is likely to cause serious consequences. C. It will enable people to be more creative. D. It is necessary to achieve successful outcome. 【答案】56. C 57. B 58. D 59. A 60. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。如果你曾经发现自己在一个答案显而易见的决定面前抓耳挠腮，那么这背后是有科学依据的。文章介绍了“决策疲劳”这一心理现象。 【56题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. (“问题在于‘决策疲劳’，这是一种心理现象，在漫长的一天的决策后，会影响你的选择质量，导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。”著名心理学家埃文·波尔曼说)可知，决策疲劳可能会导致人们做出不明智的决定。故选C。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. (“问题在于‘决策疲劳’，这是一种心理现象，在漫长的一天的决策后，会影响你的选择质量，导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。”著名心理学家埃文·波尔曼说)可知，在漫长的一天的决策后，会影响你的选择质量，导致优柔寡断或做出糟糕的选择。结合选项可知，B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day.(法官在当天晚些时候做出的判决不那么令人信服)符合题意，法官属于决策疲劳。故选B。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. (但有趣的是，当你为别人做决定时，决策疲劳就会消失)可知，当人们帮助别人做决定时，他们很少会感到决策疲劳。故选D。 【59题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.”(“有决策疲劳症的人很可能会选择什么都不做，而不是去做某件事，”他说，“这并不是说风险总是好的，但它与采取行动有关，而决策疲劳肯定会导致不作为。”)可知，当决定疲劳出现时，人们很可能会停止尝试任何新事物。故选A。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. (为了获得成功的结果或回报，一定程度的风险几乎总是必不可少的)可知，波尔曼认为在决策过程中承担一些风险是取得成功的必要条件。故选D。 五 将表格中单词短语的对应字母选项填涂到答题卡对应题号中。 A. missing out B. taken away C. catching up on D. taken over E. occurred to F. concerned with G. have a say on H. was up to 61.

It’s clear that people have a lot of misconceptions (误解) about community colleges. Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn’t get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got A’s. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college. Some people will ask, “Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My professors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging. Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings. I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist. I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become. 71. What was the author’s parents’ attitude towards his/her decision about attending the community college? (no more than 5 words) 72. What does the underlined part “miss out on” in Paragraph 4 mean? (1 word) 73. How did the author make friends at community college? (no more than 12 words) 74. Why daren’t the author take the journalism class at first? (no more than 12 words) 75. In your opinion, what kind of effect does attending the community college have on the author? (no more than 15 words) 【答案】71. They supported his/her decision. 72. Lack. 73. By joining clubs and attending student government meetings. 74. Because the author never wrote for his or her high school newspaper. 75. Attending the community college helps the author discover who he/she is and will become. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，人们对社区大学有很多误解，作者用自己上社区大学的切身经历告诉我们社区大学和其他大学没什么不同。 【71题详解】 根据第二段中的“My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college.”可知，作者的父母非常支持他（她）上社区大学的决定，故填They supported his/her decision。 【72题详解】 上文说人们对社区大学有很多误解，在根据画线词后的“But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college.”可知，但很快作者就发现社区大学和其他大学一样，作者努力充分利用在社区大学的时间，由此可知，此处是说有些人认为如果上社区大学，就会缺少大学的经历，故画线词词义为“缺少”，故填Lack。 【73题详解】 根据第四段中的“I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.”可知，作者通过参加社团和学生会会议交了很多朋友，故填By joining clubs and attending student government meetings。 【74题详解】 根据最后一段中的“Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it,”可知，作者一开始害怕上新闻学课是因为他（她）高中时从未给校报写过文章，故填Because the author never wrote for his or her high school newspaper。 【75题详解】 第四段说作者充分利用社区大学的时间并结交了很多朋友，再根据最后一段中的“That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist.”可知，新闻学课让作者认识到他（她）想当一名记者，也就是说上社区大学让作者认识到自己是谁以及以后想要成为谁，故填Attending the community college helps the author discover who he/she is and will become。 第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 76. 假定你校英文文学社正在举办阅读分享会。请你用英语写一篇短文，将你最近读过的书The Little Prince推荐给其他成员。 内容包括：作者Antoine de Saint-Exupéry，书名The Little Prince，故事梗概及你的评价。 注意： 1 词数不少于100； 2. 可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Recommendation of The Little Prince ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Recommendation of The Little Prince I strongly recommend The Little Prince written by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry to everyone. This beautiful story follows a young prince who leaves his tiny planet and his beloved rose. He journeys through space, visiting several strange planets and meeting different adults. Finally, he arrives on Earth, where he talks with a pilot who has crashed in the desert. Here, he also meets a wise fox who teaches him important lessons about friendship and responsibility. Although it looks like a simple children’s book, its meaning is very deep. It gently reminds us of what truly matters in life: caring for others, seeing with our hearts, and keeping a sense of wonder. The prince’s questions make us think about our own world and choices.

One day, Dr. Simpson was lecturing, and we were dutifully taking notes. Suddenly he stopped and fixed a cold stare on a student in the second row. The student stared back, crossed his arms over his chest, and lifted his chin. “What is your problem, young man?” the professor demanded. “You,” the student replied. “Me?” “Yeah, you and the boring course you’re teaching.” I sat in terror and surprise. I had never seen such a scene. “Get out of my class!” Dr. Simpson thundered. The student snatched up his books and headed toward the classroom door. The door slammed shut, and Dr. Simpson continued his lecture. I didn’t hear a word he said. My complete attention was on the student who had stormed out of the room. Five minutes or so went by; Dr. Simpson stopped his lecture. He scanned the class and asked, “What have I been lecturing about for the last five minutes?” I didn’t know. Nobody knew. The class was silent. Then, Dr. Simpson said, “John, go tell Fred that he can come back in.” As Fred was making his way back to his seat, Dr. Simpson thanked him and complimented him on an excellent acting job. As it turned out, they had cooked it up ahead of time. We sat in stunned silence. And then, Dr. Simpson said something I would never forget. “You weren’t listening to my lecture. None of you were. You were all thinking about Fred and our little dust-up. Remember that when you start teaching, any time there is a disruption in class, you lose your students’ attention.” It was one of the most useful lessons I ever learned in college. Over the years, my class was interrupted by fire alarms and other distractions. Every time I lost the class’s attention, I flashed back to the lesson Dr. Simpson taught me that day. I gave my students five minutes to discuss what had happened and then said cheerfully, “Let’s get back to today’s lesson plan!” 46. Why didn’t the author hear Dr. Simpson’s lecture after Fred left? A. The author was too scared of Dr. Simpson’s anger. B. The author’s attention was entirely on Fred. C. Dr. Simpson’s lecture was too boring to follow. D.

Created a puzzle. 48. How did the students feel after they knew the truth? A. Satisfied. B. Relieved. C. Confused. D. Disappointed. 49. What does the author want to share by writing the text? A. A strategy to attract students. B. A strategy to handle a conflict. C. A way to discipline students. D. A way to deal with a disruption. 50. Which word can best describe Dr. Simpson’s teaching style? A. Strict and traditional. B. Humorous and casual. C. Creative and instructive. D. Boring and uninteresting. C Across northern Australia, a great number of freshwater crocodiles are dying, with some populations down by 70%. That’s because the animals are eating a kind of super-poisonous toad (蟾蜍) that humans brought to the continent decades ago. Georgia Ward-Fear, an ecologist at Macquarie University in Sydney, has witnessed the death of the crocodiles first-hand. The loss of so many crocodiles is a problem because they sit atop the food web, “When they decline,” Ward-Fear says, “we see this huge hole in the ecosystem.” When about a hundred cane toads were first brought from Hawaii to Australia in 1935 people had high hopes that the toads would feast on the beetles damaging the local sugarcane crop. But the toads were a total failure. “They didn’t control the beetles” says Ward-Fear. “Instead, they started spreading across Australia.” Today, an estimated 200 million cane toads are hopping around the continent. She says that at first, no one really noticed the invasive toads’ spread. But then a whole range of animals started dying — including lizards, snakes, a furry cat-size marsupial called a quoll and lots of freshwater crocodiles. The cause of death was a potent brew of toxins (一种强效毒素混合物) that the cane toads produce and store in their bodies. A crocodile’s first encounter with a toad is always deadly, so the animal has no chance of learning. But Ward-Fear and her colleagues wondered whether there might be a way to warn the crocodiles somehow. To teach the crocodiles, the team members needed bait (诱饵). But they couldn’t use a full cane toad loaded up with poisons. “So we cut off the top half of their body,” says Ward-Fear, “so that crocodiles are still getting the smell and the taste, but we’ve taken the most poisonous parts off. We injected something that makes the crocodiles feel sick. It’s essentially food poisoning.” In a study published in Proceeding of the Royal Society B, Ward-Fear and her colleagues report that they’ve managed to reduce crocodile death rates by as much as 95% — by feeding the animals dead cane toads that have been changed to cause food poisoning. The crocodiles came to associate the toads with a temporarily unpleasant feeling, making them less willing to eat a deadly toad in the future. 51. What would be a suitable title for the text? A. Crocodiles Are Suffering from Food Poisoning. B. Cane Toads Present a Great Threat to Crocodiles. C. Scientists Find a Way to Save Crocodiles in Danger. D. Scientists Try to Control the Number of Cane Toads. 52. Why can’t crocodiles learn to avoid cane toads naturally? A. They are not smart enough to recognize dangers. B. Their first contact with toads is always deadly. C. Cane toads spread too quickly across Australia. D. Toxins from toads are hard to detect. 53. What did Ward-Fear’s team do to the cane toads when making bait? A. They used live cane toads with reduced toxins. B. They removed the most poisonous parts and added a sick-inducing substance. C. They injected the toads with a chemical that kills crocodiles. D. They only kept the top half of the toads’ bodies. 54. What result did Ward-Fear’s study achieve? A. Crocodiles completely stopped eating cane toads. B. The number of cane toads decreased by 95%. C. Crocodile death rates dropped sharply. D. The ecosystem in northern Australia recovered. 55. We can infer from the text that cane toads _________. A. were originally introduced to Australia to protect local animals B. have become a threat to multiple species in Australia C. are now mainly distributed in southern Australia D. produce toxins only when they are attacked D If you’ve ever found yourself scratching your head over a decision when the answer is obvious, now there’s a scientific reason behind it. “The problem is ‘decision fatigue’ — a psychological phenomenon that influences the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, causing indecision or poor choices.” says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist. Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics (开抗生素) to patients when it's unwise to do so. “Probably it’s because it’s simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further,” Polman says. But interestingly, decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as belonging to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. “By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue,” he says. “It’s as if there’s something fun and relieving about making someone else’s choice.” “Getting input from others not only offers a fresh idea and thought process; it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good,” says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue, they have a tendency to choose to go with the status quo (现状),” he says. “But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.” In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. “People with decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,” he says, “That’s not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action whereas decision fatigue certainly leads to inaction.” “Just because you can make good choices for others doesn’t mean you’ll do the same for yourself,” Polman cautions. “Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries for others than they do for themselves,” he says, adding that people slip in and out of decision roles. 56. Decision fatigue may cause people to make decisions that are_______________. A. reasonable B. objective C. unwise D. smart 57. Which of the following may be made by a person with decision fatigue? A. A consumer buys a lot of food to prepare for a dinner. B. A judge makes a less convincing judgment late in the day. C. A student plans to finish his math homework in the morning. D. A physician advises the patient to drink more water after examination. 58. When do people feel less decision fatigue? A. When they take decision shortcuts. B. When they have advisers to turn to. C. When they have major decisions to make. D. When they help others to make decisions. 59. What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in? A. They stop trying anything new. B. They adopt a totally new idea. C. They tend to make risky decisions. D. They turn to physicians for advice. 60. What does Polman say about taking some risks in decision making? A. It will often end in regret. B. It is likely to cause serious consequences. C. It will enable people to be more creative. D. It is necessary to achieve successful outcome. 五 将表格中单词短语的对应字母选项填涂到答题卡对应题号中。 A missing out B. taken away C. catching up on D. taken over E. occurred to F. concerned with G. have a say on H. was up to 61.

It’s clear that people have a lot of misconceptions (误解) about community colleges. Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn’t get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got A’s. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college. Some people will ask, “Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My professors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging. Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings. I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist. I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become. 71. What was the author’s parents’ attitude towards his/her decision about attending the community college? (no more than 5 words) 72. What does the underlined part “miss out on” in Paragraph 4 mean? (1 word) 73. How did the author make friends at community college? (no more than 12 words) 74. Why daren’t the author take the journalism class at first? (no more than 12 words) 75. In your opinion, what kind of effect does attending the community college have on the author?
