A
Tomatoes and French fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Huang Sanwen and his team recently carried out a study. They found the “parents” of the potato, which showed a surprisingly close relationship between the two plants.
Scientists already knew that tomatoes and potatoes were each other’s closest living relatives. So, Huang and his team took a closer look at their genes (基因). They discovered that tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant called Etuberosum about 9 million years ago. As a result, the modern potato plant came into being, with the tomato as its “mother” and Etuberosum as its “father”.
However, Huang had another question: Why did only the potato develop underground parts-tubers (块茎), but its “parents” did not? It turned out that the mix of genes from the tomato and Etuberosum caused the potato plant to develop tubers. The genes from the tomato controlled when tubers grew, and the genes from Etuberosum controlled how big tubers grew. Without genes from either “parent”, no tuber could develop.
These findings can help scientists find ways to make the potato plant stronger and better. The study also shows how different plants can be unexpectedly connected. Next time you eat potatoes, Huang adds, “thank a tomato.”
11. Why does the author mention “tomatoes and French fries”?
A. To suggest a good meal. B. To tell an interesting story.
C. To show their different tastes. D. To lead in the topic of the article.
12. According to paragraph 2, how did Huang and his team make the discovery?
A. They studied genes of some plants.
B. They grew a large number of potatoes.
C. They watched the growth of the potato.
D. They looked for the relatives of the tomato.
13. What does the underlined word “interbred” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Survived together. B. Disappeared together.
C. Made changes together. D. Produced young together.
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Both the tomato and Etuberosum plants have tubers.
B. The “parents” of the potato plant have similar genes.
C. The genes from the tomato decide the size of the potato tubers.
D. The genes from both “parents” are necessary for tubers to form.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The value of Huang’s study. B. The ways of growing potatoes.
C. The reasons for doing the study. D. The necessity of thanking potatoes.
B
“Please, Mum, can we get a piano?” Ella asked.
Kathy felt worried. She knew it would be a perfect birthday gift-Ella wanted to be a songwriter. But she was working three jobs just to make ends meet. She wanted her teenage daughter to have what she herself had missed. As a child, Kathy loved piano, but had to give up the lessons when her parents’ business failed.
Luckily, a couple in their neighbourhood were giving away an old piano. Kathy had it moved to their home.
To Kathy’s joy, Ella played every day. But as months passed, the practice grew shorter. Then one day, Ella stopped.
“It’s harder than I thought,” she said. “Now, I want to be a fashion model.”
The piano was sold to pay for modeling classes in London. Kathy was sorry to see it go.“It’s just a piano. Mum,” Ella said.
It found its way to Delia. She played every morning for a local dance school. The piano gave her a new life after her retirement (退休). When she had to move to New Zealand, she found it a new home with a community project that placed instruments in public spaces for everyone to play.
Years passed. Ella became a successful model and would no longer need Kathy’s support.
One evening, Kathy walked past an underground station. There stood her old piano! A child was playing happily. Then an old man took his turn, playing lively music. Even hurried passers-by stopped to listen.
Kathy stood still, watching.
“The piano holds a key-not to a door, but to happiness,” a gentleman beside her said. “It’s magical how music brings people together.”
“Yes,” Kathy agreed. “Music makes the world a better place.”
“Do you play an instrument?” he asked.
Kathy looked at the piano. For years, she had worked for others, having little time and money for herself.
“I used to,” she said and added with a smile, “and I will again.”
Kathy finally got her own key to happiness.
16. What made Kathy worried at the beginning of the story?
A. Her parents’ business failed. B. Her daughter missed a lesson.
C. She didn’t have enough money. D. She was too busy to buy a gift.
17. How did Kathy probably feel when she sold the piano?
A. Sad. B. Angry. C. Relaxed. D. Hopeful.
18. Where did Kathy see the piano again?
A. At Delia’s place. B. In New Zealand.
C. In a local dance school. D. At an underground station.
19. Why did Kathy say “and I will again”?
A. Because she would get the piano back.
B. Because the gentleman gave her courage.
C. Because she could now care about herself.
D. Because she hoped to make the world better.
20. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Gift from Mum B. A Beautiful Piano
C. The Magic of Music D. The Key to Happiness
C
Some people think they will not be influenced by advertisements. They might not have heard of the “mere exposure effect”(单纯曝光效应)—the more one is exposed to something, the easier it is for him or her to like it.
There are two main explanations for the effect. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could possibly harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad results, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency (知觉流畅性). We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought. Tasks like understanding something new take lots of attention and time, so we try to avoid them.
Robert Zajonc, discoverer of the effect, tested how a group of people reacted to a set of disordered shapes. The shapes changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that.
According to the effect, it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum (最大限度) preference for a product. However, the effect does not work on everyone in the same way. If the exposure is too often, people get annoyed. Also, when people don’t like a product at first, repetition can make them dislike it more.
Now tell me what you think about ads. If mere exposure can create preferences that we are not aware of, should we be alarmed or forbid all the ads? Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices.
21. According to paragraph 2, why do people prefer repeated things?
A. Because they usually bring good results.
B. Because they help people understand better.
C. Because they seem safer and need less effort.
D. Because people enjoy thinking hard about them.
22. In Zajonc’s study, what caused people’s preference for certain shapes?
A. Personal tastes in art and beauty.
B. People’s first sight of the shapes.
C. The order in which the shapes appeared.
D. The number of times people saw the shapes.
23. According to the passage, which of the charts best shows the mere exposure effect?
A. B.
C. D.
24. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To attack the advertising industry.
B. To introduce a new research topic.
C. To advise the government to forbid ads.
D. To call for awareness of the effect of ads.
25. In which part of a magazine can you find this article?
A. Stories. B. Science. C. Business. D. Education.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述一位富有的父亲带儿子去农场体验贫困家庭的生活,希望儿子珍惜所拥有的一切,而儿子却从另一个角度看到了贫困家庭的“富有”,揭示了真正的财富和幸福不在于物质财富的道理。
【1题详解】
句意:一天,他的父亲决定带他去旅行,让他看看其他贫困人的生活。
根据后文“They went to a farm where a poor family lived.”可知,父亲带儿子去看的是贫困家庭的生活,poor“贫困的”符合。lonely“孤独的”、lucky“幸运的”、perfect“完美的”均与上下文不符。
【2题详解】
句意:他的父亲希望他珍惜生活中所得到的一切,并对所有事物心怀感激。
结合前文“treasure what he had been given”,珍惜所拥有的东西,对应的是心怀感激,thankful“感激的”符合。bad“糟糕的”、afraid“害怕的”、responsible“负责任的”均不符合语境。
【3题详解】
句意:他们在农场待了几天,帮助这家人照看土地、为食物劳作。
根据后文“The father dug soil and cut grass, while the boy picked vegetables and collected eggs.”可知,父子俩在帮助这家人干活,helping “帮助” 符合。watching “观看”、making “使”、suggesting “建议” 均与上下文不符。
【4题详解】
句意:当他们离开农场时,父亲问儿子在和这家人相处的时间里是否学到了什么。
根据后文儿子的回答“Yes, I’ve learned so much!”可知,父亲问的是是否学到了东西,learned“学到”符合。felt“感觉”、heard“听到”、seen“看到”均不符合语境。
【5题详解】
句意:他的父亲好奇地问他那样说是什么意思。
结合前文儿子说“那个家庭很幸运”,与父亲预期的回答不符,所以父亲应是好奇地询问,curiously“好奇地”符合。happily“开心地”、nervously“紧张地”、angrily“生气地”均不符合语境。
【6题详解】
句意:我们院子里有一个池塘,但他们的农田里有一条河流穿过。
结合后文“but they have a river”,此处是两者对比,院子里的应是与河流类似的水域,pool“池塘”符合。dog“狗”、car“汽车”、tree“树”均与河流无对比关系。
【7题详解】
句意:我们外面有灯笼,所以晚上我们能看见东西,但他们有广阔的天空和美丽的星星给他们带来惊喜和光亮。
灯笼的作用是照明,让人们晚上能看见,see “看见” 符合。sleep “睡觉”、sing “唱歌”、laugh “笑” 均与灯笼的作用无关。
【8题详解】
句意:我们的高栅栏保护我们的房子和家人,但他们不需要这样的东西,因为他们的朋友保护他们。
后文“他们的朋友保护他们”是前文“不需要栅栏”的原因,because “因为” 符合。if “如果”、when “当……时”、so “所以” 均不符合逻辑。
【9题详解】
句意:真正的财富和幸福不在于物质财富。
结合前文儿子的感悟,以及后文“身边有爱的人和欣赏美丽的自然环境更有价值”,可知真正的财富不在物质,lie in “在于” 符合。differ from “与……不同”、focus on “专注于”、lead to “导致” 均不符合语境。
【10题详解】
句意:身边有你爱的人,欣赏美丽的自然环境,这些都珍贵得多。
结合语境,能让人感受到幸福的,应是身边爱的人,people “人” 符合。plants “植物”、food “食物”、animals “动物” 均不符合语境。

第一节 阅读下面短文,从下面每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。(共15小题,每小题1.5分)
A
Tomatoes and French fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal. Huang Sanwen and his team recently carried out a study. They found the “parents” of the potato, which showed a surprisingly close relationship between the two plants.
Scientists already knew that tomatoes and potatoes were each other’s closest living relatives. So, Huang and his team took a closer look at their genes (基因). They discovered that tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant called Etuberosum about 9 million years ago. As a result, the modern potato plant came into being, with the tomato as its “mother” and Etuberosum as its “father”.
However, Huang had another question: Why did only the potato develop underground parts-tubers (块茎), but its “parents” did not? It turned out that the mix of genes from the tomato and Etuberosum caused the potato plant to develop tubers. The genes from the tomato controlled when tubers grew, and the genes from Etuberosum controlled how big tubers grew. Without genes from either “parent”, no tuber could develop.
These findings can help scientists find ways to make the potato plant stronger and better. The study also shows how different plants can be unexpectedly connected. Next time you eat potatoes, Huang adds, “thank a tomato.”
11. Why does the author mention “tomatoes and French fries”?
A. To suggest a good meal. B. To tell an interesting story.
C. To show their different tastes. D. To lead in the topic of the article.
12. According to paragraph 2, how did Huang and his team make the discovery?
A. They studied genes of some plants.
B. They grew a large number of potatoes.
C. They watched the growth of the potato.
D. They looked for the relatives of the tomato.
13. What does the underlined word “interbred” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Survived together. B. Disappeared together.
C. Made changes together. D. Produced young together.
14. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. Both the tomato and Etuberosum plants have tubers.
B. The “parents” of the potato plant have similar genes.
C. The genes from the tomato decide the size of the potato tubers.
D. The genes from both “parents” are necessary for tubers to form.
15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The value of Huang’s study. B. The ways of growing potatoes.
C. The reasons for doing the study. D. The necessity of thanking potatoes.
【答案】11. D 12. A 13. D 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了黄三文及其团队的一项研究,该研究发现土豆的“父母”是番茄和一种类土豆植物Etuberosum,揭示了番茄和土豆之间意想不到的密切联系,还说明了研究的价值。
【11题详解】
文章第一段“Tomatoes and French fries make a tasty pair. But the connection between tomatoes and potatoes may go beyond making a good meal.”可知,作者先提到番茄和薯条的搭配,再转折引出番茄和土豆之间更深层的联系,目的是引出文章主题,A建议一顿美餐、B讲有趣的故事、C展示它们不同的味道均不符合。
【12题详解】
文章第二段“So, Huang and his team took a closer look at their genes (基因). They discovered that tomato plants interbred with a potato-like plant called Etuberosum about 9 million years ago.”可知,他们是通过研究一些植物的基因得出发现的,B种大量土豆、C观察土豆的生长、D寻找番茄的亲缘植物均未提及。
【13题详解】
结合后文“As a result, the modern potato plant came into being, with the tomato as its ‘mother’ and Etuberosum as its ‘father’.”可知,番茄和类土豆植物Etuberosum结合产生了现代土豆,因此“interbred”意为“杂交、共同繁殖后代”,A一起生存、B一起消失、C一起发生变化均不符合语境。
【14题详解】
文章第三段“Without genes from either ‘parent’, no tuber could develop.”可知,土豆块茎的形成需要来自两个“亲本”的基因,二者缺一不可,A番茄和Etuberosum都有块茎、B土豆的“亲本”有相似基因、C番茄的基因决定土豆块茎的大小均与原文不符。
【15题详解】
文章最后一段“These findings can help scientists find ways to make the potato plant stronger and better. The study also shows how different plants can be unexpectedly connected.”可知,该段主要说明了黄三文团队研究的价值,B种植土豆的方法、C做这项研究的原因、D感谢土豆的必要性均偏离段落核心。
B

C
Some people think they will not be influenced by advertisements. They might not have heard of the “mere exposure effect”(单纯曝光效应)—the more one is exposed to something, the easier it is for him or her to like it.
There are two main explanations for the effect. The first is certainty. Our minds naturally learn to be careful around new things that could possibly harm us. If we see something repeatedly without bad results, we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency (知觉流畅性). We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought. Tasks like understanding something new take lots of attention and time, so we try to avoid them.
Robert Zajonc, discoverer of the effect, tested how a group of people reacted to a set of disordered shapes. The shapes changed so quickly that it was impossible to notice that some were repeated. When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that.
According to the effect, it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum (最大限度) preference for a product. However, the effect does not work on everyone in the same way. If the exposure is too often, people get annoyed. Also, when people don’t like a product at first, repetition can make them dislike it more.
Now tell me what you think about ads. If mere exposure can create preferences that we are not aware of, should we be alarmed or forbid all the ads? Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices.
21. According to paragraph 2, why do people prefer repeated things?
A. Because they usually bring good results.
B. Because they help people understand better.
C. Because they seem safer and need less effort.
D. Because people enjoy thinking hard about them.
22. In Zajonc’s study, what caused people’s preference for certain shapes?
A. Personal tastes in art and beauty.
B. People’s first sight of the shapes.
C. The order in which the shapes appeared.
D. The number of times people saw the shapes.
23. According to the passage, which of the charts best shows the mere exposure effect?
A. B.
C. D.
24. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A. To attack the advertising industry.
B. To introduce a new research topic.
C. To advise the government to forbid ads.
D. To call for awareness of the effect of ads.
25. In which part of a magazine can you find this article?
A. Stories. B. Science. C. Business. D. Education.
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 24. D 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了单纯曝光效应(mere exposure effect),包括其定义、产生的两种主要解释、相关的实验验证,以及该效应的特点和对广告的影响,最后呼吁人们理性看待广告的影响。
【21题详解】
第二段指出人们偏爱重复事物的原因:“The first is certainty...we are led to believe it is safe. The second is perceptual fluency...We naturally prefer simple things that require little thought.”,说明人们偏爱重复事物是因为它们看起来更安全,且不需要花费太多精力。
【22题详解】
第三段说明扎琼克实验中人们产生偏好的原因:“When the people were asked which shapes they liked most, they chose those that they had seen the most often, even though they were not aware of that.”,表明是人们看到特定形状的次数导致了他们的偏好。
【23题详解】
第四段表明单纯曝光效应的特点:“it takes about 15 repetitions for a person to develop maximum preference for a product. However...If the exposure is too often, people get annoyed. Also, when people don't like a product at first, repetition can make them dislike it more.”,说明随着接触次数增加,偏好程度先上升,过度暴露则会引发反感,对应图表A的趋势。
【24题详解】
最后一段体现作者的写作意图:“Perhaps the point is not whether to forbid ads but how to help ourselves understand the influence of ads and make smarter choices.”,说明作者的目的是呼吁人们意识到广告的影响。
【25题详解】
文章介绍了心理学相关的科学原理、实验及影响,说明本文属于杂志的科学板块。
