It makes us uncomfortable.(一些心理学家称之为认知 失调。同时持有两种相互矛盾的思想是很难的。这 让我们感到不舒服。)”可知，人们倾向于喜欢寻求帮 助的人是因为认知失调，即避免持有矛盾的想法带来 的不适。] 10.A [词义猜测题。根据划线词前文“One 2015 study found that it was， rather， the affiliati ve(亲和的) mo- tive...by doing favors for others.(2015年的一项研 究发现，更确切地说，这是请求所传达的亲和动机。 也就是说，我们人类希望与他人保持良好的关系，而 实现这一目标的一种方式就是帮助他人。)”以及下文 “We like being useful and， by extension， we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It'sin our genes.”可推断， 划线词所在句说明人类希望通过帮助 他人来保持良好的关系，这解释了无私的行为，因此 推断划线词与selfless“无私的”意思相近。] 11.C [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet there is much we still don't know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures? Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less， not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing； asking to borrow a car is another.(然而， 我们 对本·富兰克林效应还有很多不了解的地方。它在 不同文化中都适用吗?有没有一个点，超过了这个 点，请求别人帮忙会让你更不讨人喜欢，而不是更讨 人喜欢?借书是一回事；向别人借车是另一回事。)” 可知，作者认为本·富兰克林效应有情境限制。] D.[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。文章从唐纳雀入手， 分析北美迁移鸟类面临的挑战及其原因，最后提出建 议：希望尽快减少温室气体的排放，尽可能地阻止栖息 地的丧失。 12.D [推理判断题。由第二段中的“To fuel the m on their lengthy journey， western tanagers fill up on in- sects ... have serious consequences for migratory birds'survival.”可知， 随着全球气候变化导致春季 提前开始，唐纳德雀迁徙期间获得食物的机会 减少。] -56 参考 13.A [推理判断题。由第三段中的“By contrary， pre vious studies have mainly focused on ... levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable(脆弱的) .” 可知，先前的研究的是北美东部的鸣禽，这项关于像 西部唐纳雀这样的鸟类的新研究的独特之处在于它 覆盖了更广泛的地理范围，不仅关注东北美地区的 鸣禽，也包括西部及食物链不同层级上的鸟类。] 14.C [细节理解题。由最后一段“And he hopes that d he hopes the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse gas emissions as fast as possible.It's really important， if we can't address climate change immediately， to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.’(他希望这些信息将有助于 强调尽快降低温室气体排放的迫切需要。‘如果我 们不能立即解决气候变化问题，那么尽我们所能阻 止栖息地的丧失是非常重要的。)”可知，作者期望 能够尽快减少温室气体的排放，尽可能地阻止栖息 地的丧失。] 15.A [推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由第二段中的 “To fuel the m on their lengthy journey， western tan agers ... have serious consequences for migratory birds'survival.”可知， 本文介绍的是Scott Loss关于 鸟类迁移的一项科学研究，且引用了《美国科学院院 刊》的话，所以最可能来源于科研杂志。] 第二节 [语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们可以 从四个方面践行极简主义生活。 16.E [根据上文“The

My father was a physicist. My mother'san astronomer. But no kid wants to be like their parents， ”she jokes， semi-seriously. Blake always enjoyed building things like a child engineer. It was n't unusual for her to ex periment with her father's research equipment. She thanks， in part， her short attention period for her inquisitiveness， “I am always looking for something.” For the last few years， Blake has been searching for signs of the universe's early existence— from the birth of the first stars to the“cosmic(宇宙的) dark ages”一and she's building her own equipment to explore beyond the known universe， focusing on its distant past with novel radio technology. Since 2017， Blake and her team have been engineering and planting radio telescopes in two of the Earth's most remote(and quietest) locations for the best shot at hearing the earli est voice of the universe. Initially， Blake planned a PhD in particle(粒子) physics but switched direction after a visit to a lab with messy equipment and tools everywhere at the California Institute of Technology.“I didn't know about observational cosmology then but thought， ‘Whatever this is， I want to do that.”” She spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott SouthPole Station， after conducting experiments of a balloon-borne microwave telescope launched from McMurdo.“That really inspired my love for remote places， ”she said. Eventually， she wanted to engineer her own instruments After her year at the South Pole， she joined the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. At that time， the site decision was made for the largest radio telescope group on Earth. “This was also a leap of faith because I really couldn't continue the work I was doing be for e.”Blake recalls.“I had never done radio before but I thought， ‘Let me give this a try and see how it goes.” 4.What can we infer from Blake's joke in Paragraph 1? A.She follows in her parents'footsteps. B.She develops an interest in telescopes. C.She lies about her parents'professions. D.She lives up to her parents'expectations. 5.What does the underlined word“inquisitiveness”in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Talent. B.Courage. C.Curiosity. D.Intelligence. 6.What stimulated Blake's passion for distant places? A.Her visit to a lab in a university. B.Her wish to build her own equipment. C.Her faith in hearing the cosmic sound. D.Her experience at a South Pole Station. 7.Which of the following best describes Blake? A.Confident and caring. B.Generous and optimistic. C.Modest and open-minded. D.Adventurous and determined. —90 C Here'sa quick quiz. Person A does a favor for you. Person B asks you to do a favor for him. Who do you tend to like more? Surprisingly， the answer is Person B.This quirk(怪癖) of human nature is known as the Ben Franklin Effect. Benjamin Franklin came across the phenomenon in 1736 when serving as a clerk to the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful member didn't care for Franklin and threatened to make life miserable for him. What to do? Instead of winning him over with sweet talk， Franklin asked if he could borrow a rare and valuable book the man owned. This request altered the man's attitude and paved the way for their friendship. Franklin'stake away：“He that has once done you a kind ness will be ready to do you another， than he whom you yourself have obliged.” Several studies have confirmed this. But how can we explain the Ben Franklin Effect? Some psychologists refer to cognitive dissonance(失调) . It's difficult to hold two contradictory thoughts at the same time. It makes us uncomfortable. We resolve this tension by changing our mind.“I d on't like Joe， but I am doing him a favor， ”we might think.“So maybe I do like him.” While cognitive dissonance explains a lot， it alone doesn't explain the Ben Franklin Effect. One 2015 study found that it was， rather， the affiliati ve(亲和的) motive that the requests con vey. That is， we humans want to maintain good relations with other humans， and one way to achieve this is by doing favors for others. This explains a lot about altruistic behavior. We like being useful and， by extension， we like those who give us the opportunity to do so. It'sin our genes. Yet there is much we still don't know about the Ben Franklin Effect. Does it apply equally across cultures?Is there a point beyond which asking a favor makes you less， not more likable? Asking to borrow a book is one thing； asking to borrow a car is another. 8.Why does the author mention Benjamin Franklin's experience? A.To illustrate a dilemma in making choices. B.To suggest a way of striking up friendships. C.To stress the importance of strategic requests. D.To introduce the origin of the Ben Franklin Effect. 9.What is a reason for people's tendency to like those asking for favors? A.Reducing the tension caused by social contact. B.Increasing the chance of getting help in return. C.Avoiding the discomfort from conflicting thoughts. D.Establishing a cooperative community of shared trust. 10.What does the underlined word“altruistic”probably mean in Paragraph 4? A.Selfless. B.Impolite. C.Aggressive. D.Responsible. 11.What does the author think of the Ben Franklin Effect? A.It makes little sense. B.It applies to most cultures. C.It has situational limitations. D.It has great practical significance. —91 D The male western tanager(唐纳雀) looks like a little flame， while females are less showy， a dusty yellow. In the spring， they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America， flying through grasslands， deserts， and occasionally， suburban yards. To fuel the m on their lengthy journey， western tanagers fill upon insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier， birds such as western tanagers are arri ving at their destination after what's known as“green-up”， when flowers begin blooming and in sects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS， this kind of timing mismatch between migrants(迁移动物) and their food sources， which is happening across North America， could have serious consequences for migratory birds'survival， “In discussing climate change， we often focus on warming， ”says Scott Loss， a co-author of the study.“But the length and timing of seasons一like when winter ends and spring begins-are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.” Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species， then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds'migration routes.“By contrary， previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America， ”says Morgan Tingley， an ornithologist at UCLA， “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable(脆弱的) .” “Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats， ”Loss says.“This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.”And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible.“It's really important， if we can't address climate change immediately， to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.” 12.What may pose a direct threat to western tanagers' survival? A.Global warming. B.The duration of changing seasons. C.Loss of habitats due to human activities. D.Decreased access to foods during migration. 13.What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers? A.It covers a wider geographic range. B.It reveals the decline in bird populations. C.It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D.It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch. 14.What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds? A.Lessen the effects of climate change. B.Preserve ecosystems for bird species. C.Address emissions and habitat loss. D.Expand researches on threats to birds. 15.Where is the text most likely from? A.A scientific journal. B.A bird-watching guidebook. C.A website about climate change. D.A magazine about wildlife conservation. 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。 The philosophy of minimalism advocates living with less. 16 .

Let's go.”She jumped into the car and settled down in the passenger seat.I got behind the wheel and started the car. We live in a remote area up in the hills， surrounded by many tall trees. You have to drive up the mountain slowly to get to our driveway， which is barely wide enough for one car. I turned around my car and backed up slowly， just then， a flash of afternoon sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. I felt a sudden sharp movement as the left back wheel of the car slipped in the soft soil， and it rolled.I had n't put on my seat belt yet and I fell downwards inside the car and the car hit the ground several times as it turned over down the valley. Tree branches broke with great sharp noise. The car rolled faster， four， five， six， ...， until it came to a complete stop. We landed upside down and I got stuck completely in the car. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat and fortunately， she was okay. “Sorry， girl， ” I took a deep breath. I tried to see if I could remove myself from behind the wheel. I felt a burning pain in my chest and something was wrong with my left leg. I cried out from the pain. I grabbed my cellphone and dialed 911. Just as I had feared， I couldn't get a sig nal at the bottom of the valley. I figured we were at least 50 feet down. Robin， my closest neighbor， had his own drive way， living a mile uphill from me. There was no reason he or anyone else would drive to my house. And even if someone did， they wouldn't see the damaged car here. Painfully， I managed to reach over and pick Honey up.I gently gave her a pat.“Go home， baby.”She jumped to the ground and raced up the side of the valley. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Is at there for hours.
