The Marin Headlands nursery needs volunteers to grow native plants. These plants help restore the local parks. Two Ways to Join For Committed Regulars: Our main group meets every Wednesday afternoon. We hope you can join about six times in a year. This group is about making friends. To join, please email Robin Binaoro at Rbinaoro@parksconservancy.org. For Flexible Volunteers: Come on one Saturday each month — no promise to return is needed! A Typical Volunteer Day Staff will show you what to do. You will help with different jobs depending on the season. You might move young plants to bigger pots, cut plants to help them grow better, prepare seeds for next year, or help clean and organize the nursery. It’s a fun way to learn about plants and nature by doing. Important Information for Volunteers Age & Groups: Volunteers should be 10 years old or older. If you are under 15, please read our Youth Policy Guidelines. For groups of 5 or more people, please plan ahead using our Group Project Request Form. What to Wear/Bring: You must wear long pants and shoes that cover your toes. Wear old clothes that can get dirty. Remember to bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and your lunch if you come on a Tuesday. We volunteer rain or shine! No Experience Needed: We will teach you everything and give you the tools. This work can count for school community service hours. More Than Volunteering We welcome school groups for tours to learn how a nursery helps a national park. Also, anyone can visit our Demonstration Garden for free to see many local plants. Come and grow with us and help your local park grow too! 1. How can one join the committed regulars volunteer group? A. By contacting Robin on his own website. B.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了马林岬角苗圃的志愿者项目，包括参与方式、典型志愿日安排、志愿者注意事项以及该项目的额外价值等信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Two Ways to Join部分中For Committed Regulars的内容“To join, please email Robin Binaoro at Rbinaoro@parksconservancy.org.(要加入，请通过邮箱Rbinaoro@parksconservancy.org联系罗宾·比纳奥罗)”可知，想要加入固定常客志愿者小组，需要给特定联系人发送邮件。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Important Information for Volunteers部分中Age & Groups的内容“If you are under 15, please read our Youth Policy Guidelines.(如果你未满15岁，请阅读我们的青少年政策指南)”可知，未满15岁的志愿者在参与志愿活动前应阅读青少年政策指南。故选C项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，文章开篇提出马林岬角苗圃需要志愿者种植本地植物以修复当地公园，随后详细介绍了两种参与方式、典型志愿日的工作内容、志愿者的年龄要求、着装携带物品、无需相关经验等信息，最后发出招募邀请。结合第一段中的“The Marin Headlands nursery needs volunteers to grow native plants.(马林岬角苗圃需要志愿者种植本地植物)”以及结尾“Come and grow with us and help your local park grow too!(来和我们一起成长，也帮助你当地的公园成长吧！)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一个志愿者项目。故选A项。 B When Jack, my husband, and I drove past a fire station with a sign reading, “Are you ready for the next storm?” Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages. We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world. We have had our share of storms in the past years — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren’t fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear. Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we’d have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don’t forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand. We’re ready for the next storm, but we wouldn’t have learned to do all those things if we hadn’t encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons. Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives. 4. Which can replace the underlined word “outages” in paragraph 1? A. Traffic accidents. B. Power failures. C. Natural disasters. D. Bad weather. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of storing up daily goods. B. The experience of dealing with housework. C. The items the author bought for her daily life. D. The preparations the author made for emergency. 6. What does the author think of experiencing the past storms? A. It was instructive. B. It was satisfactory. C. It was unbearable. D. It was destructive. 7. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. Take precautions before it is too late. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是夹叙夹议文。作者经历过暴风雨后就懂得要为下一次暴风雨做好准备。作者通过自身经历告诉我们要未雨绸缪，要为人生中出现的困境随时做好准备。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前一句提到“Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees (我们所在的地区刚刚在飓风厄玛的路径中，这导致树木倒塌)”及后一句提到“We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world.( 我们被困在黑暗中，与外界隔绝)”可知，作者和丈夫所在的地区刚刚受到飓风厄玛的袭击，导致树木倒下，他们被困在黑暗中，与外界失去联系。由“stuck in the dark”可推知，划线词outages是指“电力中断”，与power failures意思接近。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we'd have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don’t forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand. (现在我们已经储存了手电筒、灯笼和蜡烛。 我们买了一台电池供电的收音机来收听新闻。 我们储备了电池，以便我们有足够的时间来应对长时间的电源故障。 我们确保我们的烤架已经准备好并且它的水箱是满的，我们购买的食物可以很容易地准备好，然后在烤架上烹饪或加热。 我们不要忘记购买紧急巧克力！ 我们有书灯可以在黑暗中阅读。 我们将汽车油箱装满，并备有应急现金)”可知，经历了以前的暴风雨之后，作者随时准备了照明用的东西、电池，还有烤架、食物，汽车油箱也加满了油，手头还有应急现金。由此可知，第三段主要讲述了作者为以后的暴风雨所做的准备。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“but we wouldn’t have learned to do all those things if we hadn’t encountered a storm in the past. (但如果我们过去没有遇到风暴，我们就不会学会做所有这些事情)”以及“They can teach us some valuable lessons. (他们可以教给我们一些宝贵的经验)”可推知，作者认为曾经经历过的暴风雨对他们是有益的。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives. (现在就是做好准备的时候了，而不是等到暴风雨来临的时候)”可推知，作者认为现在要为以后的暴风雨做准备，而不是当暴风雨来临的时候才准备。由此推知，作者的故事告诉我们一定要未雨绸缪。故选B。 C Have emojis worsened or improved language? Or are they useful? According to Evans, an expert on digital communication, “In the spoken medium, body language, such as gestures and facial expressions, provides a means of qualifying and adjusting the message delivered by the words we speak.” That’s to say, a silly smile, rolled eyes, or folded arms can enrich what is said, and supply more information for interpretation. According to an estimate, 30% — 35% of derived (衍生的) meanings from daily social interactions come from language, while nearly 70% come from nonverbal signals, especially visual ones. Coincidentally, in another study, it was found that 70% of emoji usage directly relates to emotional expressions. Emojis provide missing details for digital communication where chatting has character limits, and facial expressions and body movements are often hidden behind screens. The digital text alone is on occasion emotionally dull. And considering its similarity to punctuation (标点), the emoji is definitely the world’s first truly universal form of communication today. While emojis are mainly used to add personal touches in dull, digital chats, they still have problems. Growing slowly, emojis are a set number of characters. In a new study by Adobe, which surveyed thousands of emoji users around the world, only 20% feel their identities are completely reflected in current emoji options, and the majority aren’t pleased with them, declaring that emojis should continue to fight for more inclusive representation of users. This thought is unsurprisingly driven by the younger generation, who rely upon emojis to express what’s in their mind. If emojis are used to share our nonverbal emotions, then they should represent the “speaker”, reflecting who is communicating. Customization is one solution — an approach we have already seen progress. In 2015, the Unicode Consortium showed skin-tone modifiers (调节器). However, very quickly, those options were determined to be still too limited. Hairstyles and hair color modifiers were introduced in 2019. There’s room to grow there too. 8. What role do nonverbal signals play in face-to-face communication? A. They are primarily used to avoid being impolite. B. They contribute more to understanding than spoken words. C. They account for less than half of the meanings expressed. D. They are less important than in digital communication. 9. Why are most users dissatisfied with the present emojis? A. They are mechanical. B. They are too complex. C. They lack inclusiveness. D. They reveal identities. 10. How can the problems with emojis be addressed? A. By tailoring the designs. B. By clarifying new meanings. C. By restricting the usage. D. By counting on young users. 11. Which can be the most suitable title for the text? A. Emojis: The Perfect Solution to Emotional Expression B. The Way Younger Generations Redefine Digital Interaction C. Emojis: The Witness to the Rise and Fall of Traditional Language D. The Impact and Development of Emojis in Modern Communication 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了表情符号的作用、现存问题及改进方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“According to an estimate, 30% — 35% of derived (衍生的) meanings from daily social interactions come from language, while nearly 70% come from nonverbal signals, especially visual ones. (据估计，日常社交中30%至35%的意义来自语言，而近70%来自非语言信号，尤其是视觉信号)”可知，在面对面交流中，非语言信号对理解的作用比语言更大。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In a new study by Adobe, which surveyed thousands of emoji users around the world, only 20% feel their identities are completely reflected in current emoji options, and the majority aren’t pleased with them, declaring that emojis should continue to fight for more inclusive representation of users. (根据Adobe的一项调查了全球数千名表情符号用户的新研究，只有20%的人认为当前的表情符号选项能完全体现他们的身份特征，大多数用户对此表示不满，并明确表示表情符号应继续努力实现更具包容性的用户代表性)”可知，用户不满的主要原因是现有表情符号缺乏包容性。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Customization is one solution — an approach we have already seen progress. In 2015, the Unicode Consortium showed skin-tone modifiers (调节器). However, very quickly, those options were determined to be still too limited. Hairstyles and hair color modifiers were introduced in 2019. There’s room to grow there too. (定制化是解决方案之一——在这方面我们已经看到了一些进展。2015年，Unicode联盟推出了肤色修改符。但很快人们就发现，这些选项仍然太过有限。2019年又新增了发型和发色修改符。在这方面仍有改进空间)”可知，定制化设计可以解决表情符号的问题。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕表情符号展开，第一、二、三段聚焦表情符号在补充情感表达方面的作用，第四段指出表情符号存在包容性不足的问题，第五段介绍定制化设计的改进方向。因此，D项“表情符号在现代沟通中的影响和发展”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 13. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 14. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了“沉没成本谬误”这一心理现象，通过调查实验分析其成因，解释了人们为何会因过去的投入而难以放弃某个计划或选择，即使该计划或选择已不再合理，并探讨坚持的利弊，指出有时放弃是更明智的选择。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论).(你的衣柜里有没有一套多年没穿过但又不愿意扔掉的西装或连衣裙？也许你会说：“我不能把它扔掉，因为我花了很多钱买的。”如果你在自己身上发现了这种情况，那你就陷入了‘沉没成本谬误’的执念中。)”可知，作者在文章开头描述了人们拒绝放弃过去的投入这一现象。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment.(结果显示，尽管合理的选择是威斯康星州，但仍有54%的人选择了密歇根州，因为他们最初的投入更大)”可知，54%的参与者选择密歇根州滑雪之旅是因为他们最初的投入更大，他们想减少损失。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered.(当我们让情绪影响我们的决定时，就会产生沉没成本谬论。一旦我们对一个选择进行了投资，如果我们不坚持到底，我们就会感到内疚或后悔，却没有意识到过去的投资是无法收回的)”可知，当我们从情感上坚持已经做出的投资时，就会出现“沉没成本谬误”。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization.(没有人能否认我们从坚持中获益匪浅。所以我们的社会喜欢强调坚持。永不放弃！不要浪费！但只有你知道什么是对的路。有时候，离开是最难的选择。你可能会意识到你所走的路不再是正确的，或者从来都不是正确的。这是一个痛苦的认识)”可知，作者认为虽然坚持有好处，但有时离开才是正确的选择，说明作者对“坚持”持谨慎态度。故选A项。 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。 How to Order Coffee at Starbucks Learning how to order coffee at Starbucks can be tricky, and if you think that ordering coffee at Starbucks is confusing, you are not alone. ___16___Things move quickly as their employees try to serve customers as efficiently as possible.

I had missed three days of work so my income was going to be lower than normal. Unexpectedly, the price of oil surged (飞涨) as the temperature dropped sharply. The highest temperature that week was expected to be only eight degrees. I was stressed, to say the least. So I shopped with a clear strategy, looking for every possible way to cut pennies to help me save money to buy items and keep the house warm. However, my eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He just wanted a special kind of yogurt (酸奶), but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it. It was the kind of yogurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box. And it was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate all the marketing that promotes such products. I felt I was not a good mother when his big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yogurt. What’s the big deal?” So I found a way. I put some other items back on the shelf and finally managed to get his yogurt. On the way back from the supermarket, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people avoid him in the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. I looked at him closely then — bare hands holding a piece of cardboard, a runny nose frozen to his face, and a worn jacket. I reached into my wallet where I had some money already folded and ready for rent, oil, and snow removal. I was struggling because I had to buy oil to heat my home. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I handed the man a five-dollar bill, and my son’s eyes went wide. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing what I had done, my son gave the man his yogurt and winter hat. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I handed the man a five-dollar bill, and my son’s eyes went wide. “Mom, why did you give him money? You said we didn’t have enough, and we need it for oil,” he asked, his voice filled with confusion. Staring at his wide eyes, I explained softly, “Sweetheart, we are struggling now, but he doesn’t even have a warm place to stay, let alone oil for heat. Five dollars might buy him a hot meal tonight.” He fell silent, noticing the homeless man’s red, shaking fingers and thin jacket. His confusion was replaced by a sense of sympathy. Seeing what I had done, my son gave the man his yogurt and winter hat. “This hat will keep your ears warm,” he said. The man froze for a moment, and then accepted the gifts with both hands, tears welling up in his eyes. He whispered, “Thank you, little hero.” At that moment, I felt the warmth spread through my chest and I realized I was doing well as a mother. I had taught my child the most valuable lesson: Life is meaningful when you can give a hand to those in trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文以家庭困境与善意救助为线索展开，讲述作者在家庭经济紧张、急需省钱取暖的艰难一周，为满足儿子特意买下酸奶，途中却遇到无家可归的人。作者依然选择伸出援手，儿子深受感动，也主动送出自己的酸奶和帽子，最终作者领悟到给予的意义，完成了对孩子最珍贵的教育。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句内容 “我递给那个男人一张五美元的钞票，儿子睁大了眼睛。” 可知，第一段可描写儿子的疑惑、作者的解释，以及儿子从困惑到产生同情的心理变化。 ② 由第二段首句内容 “看到我的所作所为，儿子把他的酸奶和冬天的帽子送给了那个男人。” 可知，第二段可描写儿子的善良举动、流浪汉的感激，以及作者内心的感悟与收获。 2. 续写线索：家庭拮据 → 满足儿子 → 遇见流浪者 → 母亲慷慨相助 → 儿子受触动 → 主动奉献爱心 → 领悟给予的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 解释：explain/make clear/clarify ② 看着：stare at /look at/gaze at ③ 教会：teach/instruct/educate 情绪类 ① 困惑：confusion/puzzle/bewilderment ② 同情：sympathy/pity/understanding 【点睛】[高分句型 1] At that moment, I felt the warmth spread through my chest and I realized I was doing well as a mother.（运用了省略that的宾语从句） [高分句型 2] I had taught my child the most valuable lesson: Life is meaningful when you can give a hand to those in trouble.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期第一次质量检测 高二英语 考试时间：100分钟：分值：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B When Jack, my husband, and I drove past a fire station with a sign reading, “Are you ready for the next storm?” Our area had just been in the path of Hurricane Irma, causing downed trees and outages. We were stuck in the dark and cut off from the outside world. We have had our share of storms in the past years — a snowstorm and other heavy snows that knocked down trees, sometimes up to a week at a time. Those days in a cold house weren’t fun, but we learned so much from those early storms, things that made later storms easier to bear. Now we have stored up flashlights, lanterns and candles. We bought a battery-operated radio to keep up with the news. We stocked up on batteries so that we’d have plenty for extended power failures. We make sure our grill (烤架) is ready and its tank is full, and we purchase food that can be easily prepared and then cooked or heated on the grill. And we don’t forget to buy emergency chocolate! We have book lights to read in the dark. We keep our car gas tanks full and have emergency cash on hand. We’re ready for the next storm, but we wouldn’t have learned to do all those things if we hadn’t encountered a storm in the past. The same is true spiritually. Those little storms in our lives are never fun, but they prepare us for the big storms — the big trials — that will come our way. They can teach us some valuable lessons. Are you ready for the next storm? Now is the time to get ready, not when the storm arrives. 4. Which can replace the underlined word “outages” in paragraph 1? A. Traffic accidents. B. Power failures. C. Natural disasters. D. Bad weather. 5. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of storing up daily goods. B. The experience of dealing with housework. C. The items the author bought for her daily life. D. The preparations the author made for emergency. 6. What does the author think of experiencing the past storms? A. It was instructive. B. It was satisfactory. C. It was unbearable. D. It was destructive. 7. What can we learn from the author’s story? A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. Take precautions before it is too late. C. Kill two birds with one stone. D. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. C Have emojis worsened or improved language? Or are they useful? According to Evans, an expert on digital communication, “In the spoken medium, body language, such as gestures and facial expressions, provides a means of qualifying and adjusting the message delivered by the words we speak.” That’s to say, a silly smile, rolled eyes, or folded arms can enrich what is said, and supply more information for interpretation. According to an estimate, 30% — 35% of derived (衍生的) meanings from daily social interactions come from language, while nearly 70% come from nonverbal signals, especially visual ones. Coincidentally, in another study, it was found that 70% of emoji usage directly relates to emotional expressions. Emojis provide missing details for digital communication where chatting has character limits, and facial expressions and body movements are often hidden behind screens. The digital text alone is on occasion emotionally dull. And considering its similarity to punctuation (标点), the emoji is definitely the world’s first truly universal form of communication today. While emojis are mainly used to add personal touches in dull, digital chats, they still have problems. Growing slowly, emojis are a set number of characters. In a new study by Adobe, which surveyed thousands of emoji users around the world, only 20% feel their identities are completely reflected in current emoji options, and the majority aren’t pleased with them, declaring that emojis should continue to fight for more inclusive representation of users. This thought is unsurprisingly driven by the younger generation, who rely upon emojis to express what’s in their mind. If emojis are used to share our nonverbal emotions, then they should represent the “speaker”, reflecting who is communicating. Customization is one solution — an approach we have already seen progress. In 2015, the Unicode Consortium showed skin-tone modifiers (调节器). However, very quickly, those options were determined to be still too limited. Hairstyles and hair color modifiers were introduced in 2019. There’s room to grow there too. 8. What role do nonverbal signals play in face-to-face communication? A. They are primarily used to avoid being impolite. B. They contribute more to understanding than spoken words. C. They account for less than half of the meanings expressed. D. They are less important than in digital communication. 9. Why are most users dissatisfied with the present emojis? A. They are mechanical. B. They are too complex. C. They lack inclusiveness. D. They reveal identities. 10. How can the problems with emojis be addressed? A. By tailoring the designs. B. By clarifying new meanings. C. By restricting the usage. D. By counting on young users. 11. Which can be the most suitable title for the text? A. Emojis: The Perfect Solution to Emotional Expression B. The Way Younger Generations Redefine Digital Interaction C. Emojis: The Witness to the Rise and Fall of Traditional Language D. The Impact and Development of Emojis in Modern Communication D Do you have a suit or dress in the closet that you haven’t worn for years but are unwilling to get rid of? Maybe you say, “I can’t throw that away because I paid good money for it.” If you recognize this in yourself, then you are suffering from commitment to the sunk cost fallacy (谬论). It occurs when we feel that we have invested too much to quit. This psychological trap causes us to stick with a plan even if it no longer serves us and the costs clearly outweigh the benefits. Arkes and Blumer conducted a survey revealing that people are influenced by sunk cost fallacy in their decisions. Participants were asked to imagine a situation where they accidentally booked two ski tickets for the same date, spending $100 on a ski trip to Michigan and $50 on Wisconsin. They were also told the latter would be more enjoyable. It turned out that 54% chose Michigan despite the reasonable choice being Wisconsin, because they had made a greater initial investment. Sunk cost fallacy takes place when we let emotions cloud our decisions. Once we’ve invested in a choice, we feel guilt or regret if we don’t follow through, without realizing that past investments won’t be recovered. Instead, we base decisions on past costs, ignoring present and future costs and benefits. This may be due to loss aversion (厌恶), where people place more weight on losses than on gains. As a result, our decisions often aim to avoid losses instead of seeking the benefits gained if we let go of the past commitment. No one can deny the fact that we benefit a lot from perseverance. So our society loves to emphasize perseverance. Never give up! Don’t waste! But only you know the right path for you. Sometimes walking away is the hardest choice of all. You might realize a path you’re on is no longer the right one or never was. That’s a painful realization. 12. What phenomenon does the author describe at the beginning of the text? A. People benefit from sticking with a plan. B. People’s consumption view has changed. C. People refuse to give up the past commitment. D. People’s clothes are becoming more expensive. 13. Why did 54% of the participants choose the Michigan trip? A. To appear more reasonable. B. To save more of the loss. C. To make a greater investment. D. To enjoy more of themselves. 14. When does “sunk cost fallacy” occur? A. When we don’t follow through our choices. B. When we attach more importance to potential gains. C. When we feel it worthwhile to invest in past decisions. D. When we emotionally stick with investment already made. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward “perseverance”? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Disapproving. D.

I had missed three days of work so my income was going to be lower than normal. Unexpectedly, the price of oil surged (飞涨) as the temperature dropped sharply. The highest temperature that week was expected to be only eight degrees. I was stressed, to say the least. So I shopped with a clear strategy, looking for every possible way to cut pennies to help me save money to buy items and keep the house warm. However, my eight-year-old son didn’t understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He just wanted a special kind of yogurt (酸奶), but I didn’t have the extra three dollars to buy it. It was the kind of yogurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box. And it was the kind of product that wastes a parent’s money and makes me hate all the marketing that promotes such products. I felt I was not a good mother when his big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, “It’s just yogurt. What’s the big deal?” So I found a way. I put some other items back on the shelf and finally managed to get his yogurt. On the way back from the supermarket, I noticed a homeless man holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people avoid him in the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes. I looked at him closely then — bare hands holding a piece of cardboard, a runny nose frozen to his face, and a worn jacket. I reached into my wallet where I had some money already folded and ready for rent, oil, and snow removal. I was struggling because I had to buy oil to heat my home. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I handed the man a five-dollar bill, and my son’s eyes went wide. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing what I had done, my son gave the man his yogurt and winter hat. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
