Are they the ones you encountered most often in class? Are they your fellows in drama club or debate society? Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently. A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. One was conducted at MIT in the 1940s. The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another before. The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the participant, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small — 19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway. Proximity leads to friendship because it facilitates chance encounters. If so, then pure physical distance should matter less than functional distance — the influence of an architectural layout to encourage or discourage contact between people. The MIT study shows just how important functional distance is. As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the residents of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the residents of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments. Thus, it’s functional distance more than physical distance that is decisive. Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together. Actually, in later studies involving more diverse populations, the largest effects of proximity on friendship formation have been found between people of different races, ages, or social classes. 1．What does the word “proximity” in paragraph 2 most probably mean in the passage? A．Close physical or social nearness B．Frequent communication C．Shared personal interests D．Mutual understanding 2．What method did the MIT researchers employ in their study? A．Case study. B．Recording analysis. C．In-lab observation. D．Online questionnaire. 3．Which apartment’s residents in the Figure above may make most friends in the building? A．Apartment 3. B．Apartment 2. C．Apartment 8. D．Apartment 7. 4．What is the most appropriate title for the text? A．Proximity: The Dominance of Physical Distance in Social Ties B．The Influence of Architecture on Social Connections C．Proximity: Why Frequent Encounters Boost Friendship D．The Role of Diversity in Cross-group Friendships 二. （2026·湖北襄阳·一模） Penguins are some of the world’s most familiar and beloved birds, but southern rockhoppers are the tough guys of the penguin world. Their fondness for colonies (聚居地) high over thousands of feet separates them from the other penguin species that prefer soft, level ground in the Falklands. One evening, I struggle to keep up with some scientists as they march through thick grass in the Falklands. They are looking for rockhoppers that have pencil-case-size black boxes taped to their backs and collecting those boxes, which contain GPS data loggers (记录仪). Some also track diving and heart-rate information. Later, in the scientists’ field station, we gather around a computer screen, analyzing the collected data, which will give us a critical read on ocean conditions, revealed by the birds’ responses. With a lifespan of 10 to 15 years, the species can withstand the occasional disaster and rebuild their population over time. But as colonies damaged by human activities struggle to recover, a string of disasters has knocked them down. Despite their bravery, rockhoppers are highly sensitive. Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers. However, moving to cooler water isn’t an option. The constant winds there would push the little penguins into the icy coasts of Antarctica, and there’s no land where they could build new colonies. These scientists are trying to re-establish the native grass. “It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.” Thinking of the young rockhopper leaping over a fearful gap, I ask the scientists: Can rockhoppers’ courage be an advantage for their survival? Quillfeldt feels it may. Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude. 5．What is the function of the black boxes on the rockhoppers’ backs? A．To locate GPS data loggers. B．To distinguish birds’ responses. C．To analyze the survival rate. D．To record data about ocean conditions. 6．What may bring a challenge to rockhoppers’ population? A．Their lengthy lifespan. B．Their fondness for high rocks. C．Their thick waterproof feathers. D．Their sensitivity to the climate change. 7．What could be a practical way to help rockhoppers according to paragraph 4? A．Establish new colonies. B．Improve the breeding sites. C．Stop the environmental changes. D．Move to the coasts of Antarctica. 8．What is the author’s attitude toward rockhoppers’ future? A．Hopeful. B．Reserved. C．Dismissive. D．Doubtful. 三. （2026·福建莆田·二模） If you love art, “Picasso” speaks a lot. Pablo Picasso (1881—1973) wasn’t just an exceptional painter; he was a sculptor, printmaker, stage designer ... Due to his amazing skills, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields. One of Picasso’s amazing feats was representing realism and contemporary culture through art. He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism— one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed. His exploration of art did not stop with cubism as he wanted to make something more inspirational, and thus came into existence—Collage (拼贴画). Collage was a different kind of art in which Picasso incorporated several signs and used some metaphorical terms to give them a concrete meaning. Picasso received training from his father, who was an art teacher and a painter. At the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective. Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions. His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing. To this day, it is a classic representation of war horrors. On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France, leaving behind a treasure of art that is celebrated still to this day. 9．What does the underlined word “feats” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Dreams. B．Achievements. C．Discoveries. D．Inspirations. 10．What was the driving force behind Picasso’s artistic exploration? A．His training in the Academy. B．His pursuit of innovation. C．His admiration for his father. D．His loyalty to traditional art. 11．What was Picasso’s intention in creating “Guernica”? A．To show his artistic talent. B．To pour out personal emotional pain. C．To record a historical event. D．To speak out against wartime violence. 12．Which of the following best describes Picasso? A．Talented and consistent. B．Creative and ambitious. C．Pioneering and all-round. D．Successful and realistic. 四. （2026·河南周口·一模） Microbats could be regarded as nature’s forgotten superheroes. These tiny creatures can consume insects up to half their body weight in a single night, helping to control mosquito numbers and protect agricultural crops. Yet urbanization has brought significant changes to their living conditions. Housing development and vegetation loss have reduced their feeding and resting areas, which may place some microbat species at growing risk. Microbats depend on two essential resources: suitable feeding grounds and secure resting sites. While high-quality feeding habitats have been identified in Sydney, Caragh Threlfall, a research fellow at the University of Melbourne, points out that land managers should also protect resting places to support the long-term survival of microbat populations. Notably, bats are not the only ones affected. For instance, moth numbers have fallen in some urban areas, which can in turn affect the local food chain. “Our work showed that overall insect populations decline with increasing urban density (密度),” the researcher explains. There are more than 80 known bat species in Australia, 43 of which are classified as locally or nationally threatened. According to Queensland’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, 35 of these threatened species are microbats. “To help bats coexist in cities, we need to keep large, old trees across the urban landscape and preserve areas that provide good feeding habitats,” Threlfall adds. Researchers from Brisbane and Sydney have observed fewer bat species in heavily built-up areas, whereas suburbs can still support a rich variety of bat life. This suggests that some species can tolerate moderate levels of urban development, as long as sufficient trees remain in the environment. Beyond a certain point, however, bat populations begin to drop. More comprehensive urban planning assessments that take bat habitat needs into account are currently underway for Melbourne’s bat communities. With this evidence, it is believed that future guidelines can be developed to protect bat species across Australian cities. 13．What led to the decline in microbats’ population? A．Threats from rising wildlife. B．Competition among bat species. C．Development causing habitat damage. D．Climate change affecting insect availability. 14．What do the figures in paragraph 4 mainly show? A．The significance of protecting ancient trees. B．The severe challenge facing Australian bats. C．The wide distribution of bat species in Australia. D．The extreme difficulty in saving rare bat species. 15．What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A．Microbats are unable to survive in urbanized areas. B．Urban development will be slowed down across Australia. C．Suburbs have more microbat species due to fewer residents. D．Proper urban planning may lower the risk to microbat populations. 16．What can be the best title for the text? A．Microbats: Nature’s Insect Eaters B．Microbats: Friends of Urban Residents C．Rescuing Microbats from Urbanization D．Planning and Building Eco-Friendly Cities 五. （2026·河南周口·一模） For over a decade, I oversaw the marketing strategy for a large tech firm. I noticed a common workplace trap: Most fellows rushed from task to task, fueled by coffee and urgent requests, yet rarely stopped to reflect if their busyness was meaningful. This often led to hurried decisions, overlooked details, and stress — something I avoided with simple, practical strategies balancing efficiency and thoughtfulness. Our office was always alive with activities: Emails poured in nonstop, unscheduled meetings popped up, and demands came from every direction. It was easy to acquiesce to every request without critical thought, which quickly left us mentally and physically exhausted. That’s why a recent tip from a business magazine hit home deeply with me: “Less hurry, better decisions.” The core advice was simple yet powerful. First, pause (暂停) for 30 seconds before accepting any request. Ask: Is this my responsibility, or can it be handed off? Does it match my goals? This quick check prevents unnecessary energy-draining burdens. Second, write down the advantages and disadvantages of important decisions. Seeing costs and benefits in black and white clarifies priorities, especially when workplace time is precious. I have also adopted two personal strategies over the years that prove invaluable. Time blocking — reserving two hours weekly on my calendar to focus without interruptions, reflect on ongoing projects, and catch up on tasks I’ve been putting off — helps me slow down and avoid the chaos of constant rushing. Additionally, for major decisions with no tight deadline, I always try to take a night and think about them the next day. A night’s rest often brings fresh perspective and clarity, making even the most complex choices much easier to address. In fast-paced workplaces, we shouldn’t confuse busyness with productivity. Avoiding hurry doesn’t mean delaying tasks; it means giving decisions the thoughtful attention they deserve. By pausing, planning, and resting, we can work more efficiently and make wiser choices — without the stress of constant rushing. 17．Why does the author mention his work experience in the tech firm? A．To complain about the heavy workload. B．To present a common workplace situation. C．To praise the efficiency of his former leaders. D．To show the importance of marketing strategies. 18．What do the underlined words “acquiesce to” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Agree with. B．Comment on. C．Relate to. D．Hesitate over. 19．Which strategy did the author use to avoid hurried decisions? A．Accepting all requests to avoid conflicts. B．Asking others for help with tough decisions. C．Working extra hours to finish tasks on time. D．Sleeping on important decisions when possible. 20．What message does the author want to deliver? A．Teamwork leads to better productivity. B．Constant rushing harms mental health. C．Simple strategies can help make wiser decisions. D．Time blocking is the best way to manage work tasks. 六. （2026·重庆·二模） Elaine recently bought a gorgeous stained-glass statement mirror on an online marketplace, and then she found she was rearranging her entire bedroom to match its luxurious aesthetic (美感) and color scheme. She didn’t have a bedroom redesign in her budget, but that wasn’t stopping her. Have you ever updated one thing in your home and suddenly found yourself with a laundry list of changes you want to make? This phenomenon is called the Diderot Effect. The phenomenon got its name from French philosopher Denis Diderot. In 1769, Diderot penned an essay describing the receipt of a new dressing gown, which sparked a series of impulsive (易冲动的) purchases that sank him into debt — and thus lending his name to this psychological phenomenon. This isn’t just a consequence of 18th-century behavior, though. The Diderot effect is alive and well today. Don’t be too hard on yourself if you fall victim to the Diderot effect. Psychotherapist Dr. Daryl Appleton says it’s a very human response, similar to the feeling when you put on brand-new clothes, but then wear your worn-out shoes — the mismatch is uncomfortable. What’s happening beneath the surface is partly neurological (神经学的). When we seek something new, our brain releases more dopamine, often called our “pleasure chemical” that drives desire. So, that rush you feel when you start fixing the things around the shiny new object is not just aesthetics; it’s brain chemistry. We’re born to long for novel things. The Diderot Effect can show up anywhere from your closet to your career. Therapist Dr. Alfonso Ferguson says, “Often, what’s really happening underneath is a desire to feel in harmony with one’s space — to finally feel a sense of pride, peace, or even safety that may have been missing in other parts of life.” It’s not always a bad thing to want your space to progress with you. But if it starts to feel compulsive, it can be pretty difficult to escape the cycle. You’ll keep chasing the next upgrade. 21．What is the main purpose of the first paragraph? A．To analyse reasons. B．To make a comparison. C．To lead in the topic. D．To present viewpoints. 22．What is the motivation behind the Diderot Effect according to paragraph 3? A．An attempt to escape stress from one’s work. B．A desire to achieve harmony in one’s life. C．A rush to show off one’s wealth. D．A biological urge to seek novelty. 23．What does the underlined word “compulsive” in the last paragraph mean? A．Unrealistic. B．Uncontrollable. C．Adaptable. D．Casual. 24．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．When One New Thing Changes Everything B．The Psychology Behind Chasing Harmony C．How Our Daily Needs Help Fuel Endless Purchase D．The Science of Holding Back Endless Consumption 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 《未2026届高三英语各地模考或重点中学（联考）阅读专项训练十五（C篇）及答案详解命名》参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 A A D C D D B A B B 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 D C C B D C B A D C 题号 21 22 23 24 答案 C D B A 一. 1．A 2．A 3．D 4．C 【难度】0.61 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究表明，物理距离相近使人频繁相遇，进而促进友谊，而功能距离比实际距离更能决定人际关系的形成。 1．词句猜测题。根据第一段“Something that has to influence whether people become friends is simple physical proximity. And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently.(影响人们能否成为朋友的一个重要因素就是简单的物理距离相近。事实上，最持久的友谊往往产生于经常碰面的人之间。)”和第二段“ A number of studies have demonstrated the effects of proximity on who become friends. (多项研究已经证实了proximity对交友对象选择的影响。)”可知，最持久的友谊往往产生于经常碰面的人之间，指身体或社交上的接近对交友对象选择有影响，proximity指“身体或社交上的接近”。故选A项。 2．推理判断题。根据第二段“The incoming students were randomly assigned to 17 ten-unit apartment buildings that were isolated from other residential areas, and few of them knew one another before.(新生被随机分配到17栋十单元的公寓楼中，这些楼与其他住宅区隔开，且他们之前大多互不相识。)”以及第三段“The investigators asked each resident to name the three people in the student housing project with whom they socialized most often. The effect of proximity was striking: two-thirds of those listed as friends lived in the same building as the participant, even though those in the same building represented only 5 percent of the target residents. More striking still was the pattern of friendships within each building. Even though the physical distance between apartments was quite small — 19 feet between the doorways of neighboring apartments and 89 feet between those at the ends of each hallway — 41 percent of those living in neighboring apartments listed each other as friends, compared with only 10 percent of those living at opposite ends of the hallway.(研究人员让每位宿舍住户列出交往最频繁的三位住户。邻近效应十分显著：三分之二的好友都住在同一栋楼，尽管同楼住户仅占调查对象的5%。更惊人的是楼内的交友规律。即便公寓间距很小（相邻19英尺、走廊两端相距89英尺），41%的邻居互为好友，而走廊两端住户仅为10%。)”的调查结果可知，研究者采用的是案例研究法。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第四段“As the following Figure indicates, the stairs are positioned such that upstairs residents will encounter the residents of apartments at the turn of the stairs much more often than the residents of the middle apartments. And in fact, the residents of the stair-end apartment formed twice as many friendships with their upstairs neighbors as those living in the middle apartments.(如下图所示，楼梯的布置使得楼上住户与位于楼梯拐角处的住户相遇的频率，要远高于他们与位于走廊中间公寓的住户相遇的频率。事实上，楼梯尽头公寓的住户与楼上邻居建立的友谊数量，是中层公寓住户的两倍。)”可以推断出，住在楼上7号公寓的居民可能与楼下拐角处的住户相遇频率更高，所以能交到更多朋友。故选D项。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“And, in fact, the most lasting friendships are developed between people whose paths cross frequently.(事实上，最长久的友谊往往产生于经常碰面的人之间。)”和最后一段“Proximity promotes friendship because it brings people together.(距离相近促进友谊，因为它让人们频繁相遇)”可知，文章核心是邻近性如何通过频繁相遇促进友谊，所以C项Proximity: Why Frequent Encounters Boost Friendship(邻近性：为何频繁相遇能促进友谊)符合语境。故选C项。 二. 5．D 6．D 7．B 8．A 【难度】0.75 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了南跳岩企鹅的生存现状与保护 5．细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some also track diving and heart-rate information.

Research by these scientists shows that even a small increase in sea temperature can affect the birds’ food supply and lower chick and adult survival. Besides, changing weather is causing unseasonably intense storms, killing chicks who haven’t yet grown their thick, waterproof feathers.(尽管它们很勇敢，但跳岩企鹅非常敏感。这些科学家的研究表明，即使海温只是小幅上升，也会对鸟类的食物供应产生影响，并降低雏鸟和成年鸟的存活率。此外，气候变化导致的异常强风暴正在夺走尚未长出厚实防水羽毛的雏鸟的生命)”可知，跳岩企鹅对环境变化非常敏感：微小的海水升温就会影响它们的食物供应、降低存活率，反常的极端风暴也会杀死幼雏，这是它们种群面临的挑战，故选D。 7．细节理解题。根据第四段中““It may be impossible to stop the changes sweeping their ocean habitats,” Quillfeldt, a seabird ecologist says. “But to help them on land, at the breeding (繁殖) sites, is something we can actually do.”(“或许无法阻止席卷它们海洋栖息地的变化，”海洋鸟类生态学家Quillfeldt说道，“但在陆地上，在繁殖地帮助它们，这是我们实际上能够做到的事情。”)”可知，可做的实际行动是改善企鹅的繁殖地点，故选B。 8．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Curiosity and bravery can encourage seabirds to find ways to adapt. Don’t forget they’ve got attitude.(好奇心和勇气能够激励海鸟寻找适应的方法。别忘了它们还有态度)”可知，跳岩企鹅的勇气和好奇心可以鼓励它们找到适应环境的方法，故作者对它们的未来是充满希望的，故选A。 三. 9．B 10．B 11．D 12．C 【难度】0.66 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是毕加索的艺术成就、创新贡献及其深远影响。 9．词句猜测题。根据第二段“representing realism and contemporary culture through art(通过艺术来展现现实主义和当代文化)”和“He, along with Georges Braque, gave birth to cubism— one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art, paving the way for nearly all abstract art that followed.(他与乔治·布拉克一起开创了立体主义——这是现代艺术中最具革命性的运动之一，为随后几乎所有的抽象艺术奠定了基础。)”可知，通过艺术来展现现实主义和当代文化是毕加索的成就之一，feats的意思是“成就”，和achievements意思相近。故选B。 10．推理判断题。根据第三段“At the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and desired to introduce something new. His search began when he joined the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He experimented with different styles of art and explored grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.(16岁时，毕加索已经不再喜欢传统的艺术技法，而是渴望引入新的元素。他的探索始于他加入马德里的圣费尔南多学院之时。他尝试了各种不同的艺术风格，并探索了诸如静物、肖像、神话场景和风景等主题。他的作品充满大胆的创新精神，而且他总是倾向于采用新颖的视角。)”可知，毕加索进行艺术探索的内在动力是他对创新的追求。故选B。 11．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“His most remarkable and politically charged work was “Guernica”, produced in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town suffered a terrifying bombing.(他最具影响力且饱含政治意味的作品是《格尔尼卡》，这是在西班牙内战期间创作的，当时该地遭受了可怕的轰炸。)”可知，《格尔尼卡》是毕加索针对西班牙内战中格尔尼卡镇遭受可怕轰炸而创作的，且是具有政治色彩的作品，由此可推知他创作该作品是为了表达反对战争的政治观点。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“His work was daring and he always preferred to use innovative perspective.(他的作品充满大胆的创新精神，而且他总是倾向于采用新颖的视角。)”可知，他是开拓创新的；根据倒数第二段“Picasso also produced sculptures and took an interest in theatrical productions.(毕加索还创作了雕塑作品，并对戏剧表演也颇感兴趣。)”可知，他全面发展，因此可用pioneering和all-round来描述他，故选C。 四. 13．C 14．B 15．D 16．C 【难度】0.7 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了城市化对微蝙蝠的影响及保护措施。 13．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Yet urbanization has brought significant changes to their living conditions. Housing development and vegetation loss have reduced their feeding and resting areas, which may place some microbat species at growing risk.(然而，城市化给它们的生活条件带来了重大变化。住房开发和植被丧失减少了它们的觅食和休息区域，这可能使一些微蝙蝠物种面临越来越大的风险)”可知，导致微蝙蝠数量下降的原因是开发造成的栖息地破坏。故选C。 14．推理判断题。根据第四段中“There are more than 80 known bat species in Australia, 43 of which are classified as locally or nationally threatened. According to Queensland’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, 35 of these threatened species are microbats.(澳大利亚已知有80多种蝙蝠物种，其中43种被列为地方或国家受威胁物种。根据昆士兰州环境与遗产保护部的数据，这些受威胁物种中有35种是微蝙蝠)”可知，这些数字主要表明了澳大利亚蝙蝠面临的严峻挑战。故选B。 15．推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“This suggests that some species can tolerate moderate levels of urban development, as long as sufficient trees remain in the environment. Beyond a certain point, however, bat populations begin to drop.(这表明，只要环境中有足够的树木，一些物种可以容忍适度的城市发展。然而，超过一定程度，蝙蝠数量就会开始下降)”以及最后一段中“More comprehensive urban planning assessments that take bat habitat needs into account are currently underway for Melbourne’s bat communities. With this evidence, it is believed that future guidelines can be developed to protect bat species across Australian cities.(目前正在对墨尔本的蝙蝠群落进行更全面的城市规划评估，以考虑蝙蝠栖息地的需求。有了这些证据，相信未来可以制定指导方针来保护澳大利亚城市的蝙蝠物种)”可知，合理的城市规划可能会降低微蝙蝠种群面临的风险。故选D。 16．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由第一段中“Yet urbanization has brought significant changes to their living conditions. Housing development and vegetation loss have reduced their feeding and resting areas, which may place some microbat species at growing risk.(然而，城市化给它们的生活条件带来了重大变化。住房开发和植被丧失减少了它们的觅食和休息区域，这可能使一些微蝙蝠物种面临越来越大的风险)”可知，文章主要讲述了城市化对微蝙蝠栖息地的影响，以及为保护微蝙蝠所采取的措施，如进行城市规划评估等，所以最佳标题是“Rescuing Microbats from Urbanization(从城市化中拯救微蝙蝠)”。故选C。 五. 17．B 18．A 19．D 20．C 【难度】0.69 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了避免匆忙以做出更明智职场决策的方法。 17．细节理解题。根据第一段中“For over a decade, I oversaw the marketing strategy for a large tech firm.

This often led to hurried decisions, overlooked details, and stress — something I avoided with simple, practical strategies balancing efficiency and thoughtfulness.(十多年来，我一直负责一家大型科技公司的营销策略。我注意到一个普遍存在的职场误区：大多数人靠着咖啡和紧急任务在各项工作之间疲于奔命，却很少停下来思考自己的忙碌是否有意义。这种状态往往会导致仓促决策、细节疏漏和精神压力 —— 而我通过一些简单实用的策略平衡了效率与思考，从而避免了这些问题)”可知，作者提到他在科技公司的工作经历是为了呈现一个常见的职场情况。故选B。 18．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“It was easy to acquiesce to every request without critical thought, which quickly left us mentally and physically exhausted.(很容易不假思索地acquiesce to每一个要求，这很快就会让我们身心疲惫)”以及后文“That’s why a recent tip from a business magazine hit home deeply with me: “Less hurry, better decisions.”(这就是为什么最近一本商业杂志的一个建议让我深有感触：“少些匆忙，做出更好的决定。”)”可知，不假思索地同意每一个要求会让人身心疲惫，因此无法做出更好的决定，故acquiesce to意为“同意”。故选A。 19．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Additionally, for major decisions with no tight deadline, I always try to take a night and think about them the next day. A night’s rest often brings fresh perspective and clarity, making even the most complex choices much easier to address.(此外，对于没有紧迫期限的重大决定，我总是试着花一个晚上思考，第二天再考虑。一夜的休息往往会带来新的视角和清晰度，使即使是最复杂的选择也更容易处理)”可知，作者尽可能在重要决定上睡一觉以避免匆忙做决定。故选D。 20．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Avoiding hurry doesn’t mean delaying tasks; it means giving decisions the thoughtful attention they deserve. By pausing, planning, and resting, we can work more efficiently and make wiser choices—without the stress of constant rushing.(避免匆忙并不意味着拖延任务；这意味着要给予决定应有的深思熟虑。通过暂停、计划和休息，我们可以更高效地工作，做出更明智的选择——而无需承受不断匆忙的压力)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在科技公司工作时注意到的职场陷阱，即人们常常匆忙做决定而忽略细节和压力，以及作者如何通过一些简单实用的策略来平衡效率和思考，从而避免匆忙做决定。可知，作者想传达的信息是简单的策略可以帮助做出更明智的决定。故选C。 六. 21．C 22．D 23．B 24．A 【难度】0.7 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章以生活化案例切入，结合历史典故、神经科学与心理学分析，系统解析“狄德罗效应”这一普遍心理现象。 21．推理判断题。第一段通过Elaine购买镜子后重新布置卧室的具体事例，引出“This phenomenon is called the Diderot Effect.(这种现象被称为狄德罗效应)”，从而自然过渡到文章主题——狄德罗效应。这种以具体故事开头的写法是为了引入话题。故选C项。 22．细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“When we seek something new, our brain releases more dopamine, often called our ‘pleasure chemical’ that drives desire. So, that rush you feel when you start fixing the things around the shiny new object is not just aesthetics; it’s brain chemistry. We’re born to long for novel things.(当我们寻求新事物时，大脑会释放更多多巴胺，这种物质常被称为“快乐化学物质”，它会驱动欲望。所以，当你开始为闪亮的新物品搭配周边事物时感受到的冲动，不仅仅是审美需求，更是大脑化学反应的结果。我们生来就渴望新奇事物)”可知，狄德罗效应的动机是寻求新奇事物的生理冲动。故选D项。 23．词句猜测题。根据第四段“But if it starts to feel compulsive, it can be pretty difficult to escape the cycle. You’ll keep chasing the next upgrade.(但如果这种感觉开始变得compulsive，就很难摆脱这个循环。你会不断地追求下一次升级)”可知，如果这种感觉变得“compulsive”，就会难以逃脱循环，不断追求下一次升级，暗示失去控制的状态。因此“compulsive”意为“无法控制的”，与Uncontrollable意义一致。故选B项。 24．主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是第一段的句子“Have you ever updated one thing in your home and suddenly found yourself with a laundry list of changes you want to make? This phenomenon is called the Diderot Effect.(你有没有过这样的经历：家里更新了一件东西，突然发现自己有一长串想要做的改变？这种现象被称为狄德罗效应)”可知，文章主要讲一件新事物如何引发连锁变化，即狄德罗效应。A项“When One New Thing Changes Everything(当一件新事物改变一切)”准确概括了这一核心内容，既形象又全面。故选A项。 答案第1页，共2页 答案第1页，共2页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
