Architecture students from Italy will explore connections between Roman geometry and traditional Chinese courtyard design. Artists from Argentina will reinterpret Chinese ink techniques in contemporary forms. Russian artists will incorporate the Chinese character Fu into their oil paintings, expressing good wishes for the Silk Road and the unity it represents. Through such events, the festival not only highlights artistic dialogue across cultures, but also helps Xi’an further build its Image as a cultural destination where the ancient and the modern meet.(今年的活动安排了众多精彩纷呈的项目，非常值得期待。来自意大利的建筑学学生将探索罗马几何学与中国传统庭院设计之间的联系。来自阿根廷的艺术家将以现代形式重新诠释中国水墨技法。俄罗斯艺术家将在他们的油画中融入汉字“福”，以此表达对丝绸之路以及其所代表的团结的美好祝愿。通过这些活动，该艺术节不仅突显了不同文化之间的艺术交流，还助力西安进一步树立其作为古与今交汇的文化目的地的形象)”可知，中国元素获得了全新的艺术呈现形式。 B You are a Stanford student. Your professor walks into the room, breaks the class into teams, and gives each team five dollars in funding.Your goal is to make as much money as possible within two hours and then give a three-minute presentation about your achievement. What would you do? Typical answers range from buying start-up materials for a lemonade stand to buying a lottery ticket (彩票). But the teams that follow these typical paths tend to bring up the rear in the class. The teams that make the most money don’t use the five dollars at all. They realize the five dollars is a worthless resource. So they ignore it and start from square one. They redefine the problem more broadly as “What can we do to make money if we start with absolutely nothing?” One particularly successful team ended up making reservations at popular local restaurants and then selling the reservation times to those who wanted to skip the wait. These students generated an impressive few hundred dollars in just two hours. But the team that made the most money approached the problem differently. They realized the most valuable resource was the three-minute presentation time they had in front of attentive Stanford students. They sold their three-minute slot (时段) to a company interested in employing Stanford students and walked away with $650. The five-dollar challenge illustrates the difference between tactics (战术) and strategy. A strategy is a plan for achieving an objective. Tactics, in contrast, are the actions you undertake to carry out the strategy. The Stanford students who bombed the $5 challenge fixated on a tactic — how to use the five dollars — and lost sight of the strategy. Once you define the problem broadly in terms of what you’re trying to do instead of your favored solution — you’ll discover other possibilities waiting in plain sight. 4. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To present a typical class at Stanford. B. To lead into the five-dollar challenge. C. To gather answers to a survey question. D. To stress the priority of making money. 5. What does the underlined phrase “bring up the rear” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Be miles ahead. B. Be at the bottom. C. Be hard to notice. D. Be unlikely to last. 6. What can we infer about the two successful teams? A. They think outside the box. B. They insist on initial intentions. C. They benefit from collecting data. D. They source answers through practice. 7. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. A penny saved is a penny earned. B. Practice yields genuine knowledge. C. Solutions lie in seeing the big picture. D. Strategy without tactics delays success. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章通过斯坦福大学五美元挑战实验，区分战术与战略的差异，告诉读者解决问题应拓宽视野、着眼大局。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“You are a Stanford student. Your professor walks into the room, breaks the class into teams, and gives each team five dollars in funding.Your goal is to make as much money as possible within two hours and then give a three-minute presentation about your achievement. What would you do?(你是一名斯坦福大学的学生。你的教授走进教室，将全班分成若干小组，并给每个小组五美元的资金。你们的目标是在两小时内赚取尽可能多的钱，随后进行三分钟的成果展示。你会怎么做？)”可知，第一段主要介绍斯坦福大学的五美元挑战任务，目的是引出下文的挑战内容与相关分析。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Typical answers range from buying start-up materials for a lemonade stand to buying a lottery ticket. But the teams that follow these typical paths tend to bring up the rear in the class.(常见的答案包括购买摆摊卖柠檬水的启动物资或是买彩票。但遵循这些常规做法的小组往往在班级中bring up the rear)”以及第三段“The teams that make the most money don’t use the five dollars at all.(赚钱最多的小组根本没有使用这五美元)”可知，采用常规方法的小组成绩最差，由此可推断bring up the rear意为“垫底、处于末尾”。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They realize the five dollars is a worthless resource. So they ignore it and start from square one. They redefine the problem more broadly as “What can we do to make money if we start with absolutely nothing?”(他们意识到这五美元是无用的资源。于是他们舍弃这笔资金、从零开始。他们更宽泛地重新定义问题：“如果一无所有，我们能做什么来赚钱？”)”以及第四段成功小组售卖餐厅预约时段、售卖展示时段的非常规做法可知，两支成功的小组跳出固有思维模式，另辟蹊径解决问题。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Once you define the problem broadly in terms of what you’re trying to do instead of your favored solution — you’ll discover other possibilities waiting in plain sight.(一旦你从想要达成的目标层面宽泛地定义问题，而非局限于自己偏好的解决方式，你就会发现许多显而易见的其他可能性)”可知，文章最后一段启示读者，解决问题要着眼大局、拓宽视野，才能找到最优解决方案。 C Researchers showed people pictures of two knots (绳结) and asked them to point to the strongest one. They couldn’t. They showed people videos of each knot, where the knots turn slowly so they could get a good long look. They still failed. People couldn’t even manage it when researchers showed them each knot next to a diagram of the knots’ construction. The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning. The experiment is the brainchild of a PhD student in Firestone’s lab, Sholei Croom. Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot. “People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.” The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one. Participants were consistently incorrect. What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength. The knots ranged from one of the strongest basic knots in existence to one so weak that it can come undone if you just touch it gently. Even between those two, side by side, people couldn’t point to the strong one. The human psychological system just fails to ascertain any physical knowledge from the properties of the knot. Objects that aren’t rigid, such as string, may be harder for people to reason about than solid ones, Croom says. “It’s a nice case study into how many open questions still remain in our ability to reason about the environment.” 8. Why does Croom design the study? A. To test the strength of different types of knots. B. To explore ways in predicting patterns of knots. C. To test the visual judgment of knot strength. D. To measure the intuitive effects of knot tying. 9. Why does Croom mention judging a “pile of books” and a “bowling ball”? A. To list common tasks in intuitive physics studies. B. To contrast easy judgments with the knot challenge. C. To prove that physical reasoning is always accurate. D. To argue for the need to touch objects for judgment. 10. What can be inferred about the participants in the study? A. They performed better when shown turning videos. B. They correctly identified knots based on key features. C. Their correct guesses were not based on relevant clues. D. They lacked any personal experience with tying knots. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Brief Introduction to Different Types of Knots B. A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found C. How Intuitive Physics Helps Understand the World D. Why Some People Are Better at Judging Knot Strength 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现人类在判断绳结强度方面存在盲点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot.(Croom研究直觉物理，即人们仅通过观察就能理解的环境，他怀疑绳结可能是一个罕见的盲点)”和第四段“The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one.(研究人员向参与者展示了四种物理上相似但强度不同的绳结。人们被要求一次看两个绳结，并指出最强的一个)”可知，Croom设计这项研究是为了测试人们对绳结强度的视觉判断。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.”(“人们总是会对世界的物理现象如何发展做出预测，但关于绳结的事，我总觉得有些不太直观，”Croom说。“你不需要碰一堆书来判断它的稳定性。你也不必摸保龄球来猜测它能撞倒多少个球瓶。”)”可推知，Croom提到判断“一堆书”和“保龄球”是为了将容易做出的判断与绳结的挑战进行对比，说明绳结的判断不像其他物体那样直观。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength.(更重要的是，他们猜对的几次也是出于错误的原因，他们指出的是与绳结强度无关的方面)”可推知，参与者正确的猜测并不是基于相关的线索。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning.(发表在《开放思维》杂志上的这项研究揭示了我们在物理推理中的一个新盲点)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了研究发现人类在判断绳结强度方面存在盲点。由此可知，选项B“A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found(发现人类感知中的一个新盲点)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 D Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists. Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage. 12. What is the idea of the group of scientists? A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming. B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well. C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions. D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed. 13. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para.3? A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By analysis. D. By description. 14. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero? A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability. C. They overestimate the number of trees needed. D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability. 15. What does the underlined word “sequestered” in the last paragraph mean? A. Released. B. Produced. C. Stored. D. Destroyed. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了科学家认为仅靠植树不能阻止全球变暖，碳抵消逻辑存在问题，应实现地质净零。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.(其中一位科学家韦弗表示，化石燃料公司和主要污染者越来越多地购买碳信用额来抵消其温室气体排放，但这反映出他们对实现净零排放和阻止全球变暖失控所需付出的努力存在误解。韦弗讨论了抵消的逆逻辑)”可知，科学家们认为碳抵消的逻辑有待讨论，也许并不完美。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.(这就像我对你说：“给我1万美元；否则，我就去汽车经销商那里买一辆大型、高油耗的SUV。”这太愚蠢了)”可知，作者通过比较来解释不砍树换钱是个愚蠢的想法。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn’t reflect the time periods involved.(我们目前对净零的理解存在的问题是，它没有反映所涉及的时间段)”可知，人们在试图理解净零时存在的问题是他们忽视了相关的时间段。故选A。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.(这意味着化石燃料的排放必须通过永久_____在地质储备中的碳来平衡，无论是通过碳捕获和储存还是直接空气捕获和储存)”可知，碳捕获和储存或直接空气捕获和储存都是为了将碳储存起来，因此可以推断出“sequestered”在此处的意思是“储存”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 You sit down to study. You open your notes. Then you check your phone — just for a second. An hour later, you’ve watched three short videos, scrolled through some web pages, and learned nothing. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. The ability to focus has become one of the most valuable skills in modern education. However, focus is a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained. ____16____ ● Make a timetable. If you have a long night of studying ahead of you, make a plan for the day. Try dividing work into smaller parts. Aim to work for 30-60 minute periods with 5-10 minute breaks in between. ____17____ It’s not laziness — it’s letting your brain process the information. ● Choose the right spot. Whether it is your room or a library, choose an atmosphere that is silent and free of distractions (干扰) to concentrate. ____18____ What’s more, you need a comfortable chair and good lighting. There should be no strain (压力) on your back, neck, or eyes — pain is also a distraction. ● Turn off your electronics. ____19____ Only use your computer, if you need it for your studies; otherwise, it’s just an unnecessary risk. As for your phone — put it in airplane mode unless you need it on for an emergency. ● ____20____ The fact of the matter is that we all have the periods of high energy and low energy throughout the day. When are you? If possible, study during your high-energy time. You’ll be able to focus better and remember the knowledge you’re inputting into your brain. Studying at any other time will simply be a real struggle. A. Listen to your body. B. Figure out your learning style. C. Your brain needs the break to recharge. D. If you tell yourself you can focus, you actually can. E. It should be away from the TV, pets, and other distractions. F. Here are some study skills to help you concentrate on studies. G. This will help you avoid digital distractions and allow you to stay on your plan. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文指出现代人学习易分心，强调专注力可后天训练，并从制定时间表、选安静环境、关闭电子设备、顺应自身精力时段四方面给出专注学习的方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“You sit down to study. You open your notes. Then you check your phone — just for a second. An hour later, you’ve watched three short videos, scrolled through some web pages, and learned nothing. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. The ability to focus has become one of the most valuable skills in modern education. However, focus is a skill, and like any skill, it can be trained.(你坐下来准备学习。你翻开笔记。然后你看了一眼手机——就只看了那么一小会儿。一个小时后，你看了三个短视频，浏览了一些网页，却什么也没学到。这听起来是不是很熟悉？你并非孤身一人。专注力已成为现代教育中最宝贵的技能之一。然而，专注力是一种技能，就像任何技能一样，它也可以通过训练来提高)”可知，上文提出专注力是可以训练的技能，下文开始介绍具体的专注方法，F选项“这里有几个帮助你专注学习的方法”起到承上启下、引出下文的作用，符合逻辑。 【17题详解】 根据上文“If you have a long night of studying ahead of you, make a plan for the day. Try dividing work into smaller parts. Aim to work for 30-60 minute periods with 5-10 minute breaks in between.(如果你接下来有一整晚的学习任务，那就先制定一个学习计划吧。试着将学习内容分成较小的部分。争取每次学习30到60分钟，中间休息5到10分钟)”可知，本段讲分时段学习、安排休息，前文提到学习后要留5-10分钟休息，后文点明休息不是懒惰、是帮助大脑处理信息，C选项“你的大脑需要休息来充电”恰好衔接前后对休息的说明，符合语境。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Whether it is your room or a library, choose an atmosphere that is silent and free of distractions (干扰) to concentrate.(无论是你的房间还是图书馆，都要选择一个安静且没有干扰的环境，以便能够集中精力学习)”可知，本段讲要选无干扰的学习环境，前文提出要选安静无干扰的区域，E选项“这个位置应该远离电视、宠物和其他干扰源”顺承前文对环境的要求，逻辑连贯。 【19题详解】 根据后文“Only use your computer, if you need it for your studies; otherwise, it’s just an unnecessary risk. As for your phone — put it in airplane mode unless you need it on for an emergency.(只有在学习需要时才使用电脑；否则，这样做就是一种不必要的风险。至于你的手机——除非有紧急情况，否则应将其调至飞行模式)”可知，本段核心建议是关闭不必要的电子设备，G选项“这能帮你避免电子干扰，让你坚持学习计划”点明了关闭电子设备的作用，衔接标题和下文对电子设备使用的说明，符合要求。 【20题详解】 根据后文“The fact of the matter is that we all have the periods of high energy and low energy throughout the day. When are you? If possible, study during your high-energy time. You’ll be able to focus better and remember the knowledge you’re inputting into your brain. Studying at any other time will simply be a real struggle.(事实是，我们每个人在一天中都会有精力充沛和精力不足的时候。那么你呢？如果可能的话，就在自己精力充沛的时候进行学习。这样你就能更专注，也能更好地记住输入到大脑中的知识。在其他时间学习简直就是一场艰难的斗争)”可知，空处是本段的小标题，本段内容指出人一天有高低能量周期，要顺应自己的精力状态选学习时间，A选项“倾听你的身体”准确概括了这一建议的核心，正确。 第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节， 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Mary would make the drive from Washington. DC to Winchester every few days to visit her grandmother, whose health began to ____21____ last autumn. Along the shoulder of the highway, there was a long ____22____of wild flowers. They were thin and delicate, and moved back and forth in the wind as if ____23____ poems to each other. The first time she saw the flowers, Mary was ____24____ by an uncontrollable urge to bring some to her sick grandmother. She ____25____ over on the highway, picked a bunch of flowers and placed them in a vase by her grandmother’s bed.

I’m a manager in a restaurant at a popular park resort (度假地) in the UK. I was taking care of a new starter who had joined us for a summer job. He is a bright and motivated man, but this was his first job, so he was understandably nervous. First, I had him clean the tables to help him get used to the routine; eventually, it came time for him to practice taking an order. I helped him with the first few tables, and he seemed fine. So, I told him to wait for a table on his own while I waited close by. To be safe, I gave him a smaller table with a couple rather than a family or large group. It seemed to go well. The couple was friendly, and they had a good chat. He managed to answer their questions about a few menu items. So far, so good! Except not! It turned out that he was so nervous that he messed up the order. The couple came up and explained that some items from their order were missing and that what they had received wasn’t quite right. They were nice about it and didn’t raise their voices, but the new starter looked absolutely depressed, as if he wanted to throw in the towel right then and there. The mistakes weren’t major. Staff take down orders on a little handheld tablet, and I suspect he may have just pushed the wrong buttons — something easily done when one is still learning — but there were still a lot of mistakes that required correction. I apologized to the couple, saying, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience. It’s his first day. I’ll comp (免费招待) your meal and get you another waiter.” The woman smiled and said, “Oh, don’t worry about that. It was just a simple mistake, easily fixed. There’s no need to refund (偿还数额)us anything. We can wait for the kitchen to make the right food.” She turned to the new starter, saying, “Everyone makes mistakes, especially on their first day.” Then she said to me, “We’d love for him to keep waiting for our table. He can use us as practice.” 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。 Para1. In fact, I was a little hesitant. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2. For a few days, the couple became regulars, always requesting the new starter to be their waiter. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 In fact, I was a little hesitant. I worried that more mistakes would upset the kind couple and make the new boy even more discouraged. However, seeing the warm and encouraging smile on the woman’s face, I nodded reluctantly. The young waiter lifted his head slowly, eyes wet with gratitude. Taking a deep breath, he apologized sincerely to the couple again and carefully re‑checked their order on the tablet. With the couple’s gentle guidance and patient encouragement, he calmed down little by little and finished serving their meal smoothly. For a few days, the couple became regulars, always requesting the new starter to be their waiter. Every time they came, they would chat with him patiently and praise his progress sincerely. Gradually, the nervousness faded away from the young man. He grew more confident and skilled at taking orders and serving customers. This special experience not only helped him master work skills quickly but also taught him to face mistakes bravely. The warmth from strangers lit up his first working summer, reminding him that kindness could always give people the courage to move forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了暑期新人首次接单因紧张出错、情绪低落，善良顾客选择包容并主动给他练习机会，最终新人重拾自信、收获成长的暖心故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句可知，接下来可描写作者犹豫的原因，在顾客的善意鼓励下应允请求，新人满怀感激、平复心态，顺利完成此次服务。 ② 由第二段首句可知，接下来可描写夫妇持续耐心鼓励新人，新人逐渐褪去紧张、提升能力，以及这段暖心经历带给新人的成长与感悟。 2. 续写线索 作者顾虑新人再次出错——被顾客善意打动应允请求——新人感激致歉、沉稳服务——夫妇长期光顾、耐心鼓励——新人褪去紧张、熟练掌握技能——感悟善意与勇气的意义 3.词类激活 行为类 ①看见：see/spot/witness/notice ②抬起：lift/raise ③赞扬：praise/compliment 情绪类 ①担心：worry/be concerned about ②不情愿地：reluctantly/unwillingly 【点睛】【高分句型1】I worried that more mistakes would upset the kind couple and make the new boy even more discouraged.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Every time they came, they would chat with him patiently and praise his progress sincerely.（运用了every time引导时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试第二次模拟测试 英 语 总分：150分 时间：120分钟 注意事项: 1.考试用2B铅笔，黑色碳素笔作答。 2.作答前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考场号、座位号填写在试卷的规定位置上。 3.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在试卷及草稿纸上无效。 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.Where does the conversation probably take place?

Your professor walks into the room, breaks the class into teams, and gives each team five dollars in funding.Your goal is to make as much money as possible within two hours and then give a three-minute presentation about your achievement. What would you do? Typical answers range from buying start-up materials for a lemonade stand to buying a lottery ticket (彩票). But the teams that follow these typical paths tend to bring up the rear in the class. The teams that make the most money don’t use the five dollars at all. They realize the five dollars is a worthless resource. So they ignore it and start from square one. They redefine the problem more broadly as “What can we do to make money if we start with absolutely nothing?” One particularly successful team ended up making reservations at popular local restaurants and then selling the reservation times to those who wanted to skip the wait. These students generated an impressive few hundred dollars in just two hours. But the team that made the most money approached the problem differently. They realized the most valuable resource was the three-minute presentation time they had in front of attentive Stanford students. They sold their three-minute slot (时段) to a company interested in employing Stanford students and walked away with $650. The five-dollar challenge illustrates the difference between tactics (战术) and strategy. A strategy is a plan for achieving an objective. Tactics, in contrast, are the actions you undertake to carry out the strategy. The Stanford students who bombed the $5 challenge fixated on a tactic — how to use the five dollars — and lost sight of the strategy. Once you define the problem broadly in terms of what you’re trying to do instead of your favored solution — you’ll discover other possibilities waiting in plain sight. 4. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To present a typical class at Stanford. B. To lead into the five-dollar challenge. C. To gather answers to a survey question. D. To stress the priority of making money. 5. What does the underlined phrase “bring up the rear” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Be miles ahead. B. Be at the bottom. C. Be hard to notice. D. Be unlikely to last. 6. What can we infer about the two successful teams? A. They think outside the box. B. They insist on initial intentions. C. They benefit from collecting data. D. They source answers through practice. 7. What is suggested in the last paragraph? A. A penny saved is a penny earned. B. Practice yields genuine knowledge. C. Solutions lie in seeing the big picture. D. Strategy without tactics delays success. C Researchers showed people pictures of two knots (绳结) and asked them to point to the strongest one. They couldn’t. They showed people videos of each knot, where the knots turn slowly so they could get a good long look. They still failed. People couldn’t even manage it when researchers showed them each knot next to a diagram of the knots’ construction. The study in the journal Open Mind reveals a new blind spot in our physical reasoning. The experiment is the brainchild of a PhD student in Firestone’s lab, Sholei Croom. Croom, who studies intuitive (直觉的) physics, or what people understand about the environment just from looking at it, suspected knots might be a rare blind spot. “People make predictions all the time about how the physics of the world will play out but something about knots didn’t feel intuitive to me,” Croom says. “You don’t need to touch a pile of books to judge its stability. You don’t have to feel a bowling ball to guess how many pins it will knock over.” The researchers showed participants four knots that are physically similar but have a range of strength. People were asked to look at the knots, two at a time, and point to the strongest one. Participants were consistently incorrect. What’s more, the few times they guessed right, they did so for the wrong reasons, pointing to aspects of the knot that had nothing to do with its strength. The knots ranged from one of the strongest basic knots in existence to one so weak that it can come undone if you just touch it gently. Even between those two, side by side, people couldn’t point to the strong one. The human psychological system just fails to ascertain any physical knowledge from the properties of the knot. Objects that aren’t rigid, such as string, may be harder for people to reason about than solid ones, Croom says. “It’s a nice case study into how many open questions still remain in our ability to reason about the environment.” 8. Why does Croom design the study? A. To test the strength of different types of knots. B. To explore ways in predicting patterns of knots. C. To test the visual judgment of knot strength. D. To measure the intuitive effects of knot tying. 9. Why does Croom mention judging a “pile of books” and a “bowling ball”? A. To list common tasks in intuitive physics studies. B. To contrast easy judgments with the knot challenge. C. To prove that physical reasoning is always accurate. D. To argue for the need to touch objects for judgment. 10. What can be inferred about the participants in the study? A. They performed better when shown turning videos. B. They correctly identified knots based on key features. C. Their correct guesses were not based on relevant clues. D. They lacked any personal experience with tying knots. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. A Brief Introduction to Different Types of Knots B. A New Blind Spot in Human Perception Found C. How Intuitive Physics Helps Understand the World D. Why Some People Are Better at Judging Knot Strength D Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists. Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage. 12. What is the idea of the group of scientists? A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming. B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well. C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions. D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed. 13.

I’m a manager in a restaurant at a popular park resort (度假地) in the UK. I was taking care of a new starter who had joined us for a summer job. He is a bright and motivated man, but this was his first job, so he was understandably nervous. First, I had him clean the tables to help him get used to the routine; eventually, it came time for him to practice taking an order. I helped him with the first few tables, and he seemed fine. So, I told him to wait for a table on his own while I waited close by. To be safe, I gave him a smaller table with a couple rather than a family or large group. It seemed to go well. The couple was friendly, and they had a good chat. He managed to answer their questions about a few menu items. So far, so good! Except not! It turned out that he was so nervous that he messed up the order. The couple came up and explained that some items from their order were missing and that what they had received wasn’t quite right. They were nice about it and didn’t raise their voices, but the new starter looked absolutely depressed, as if he wanted to throw in the towel right then and there. The mistakes weren’t major. Staff take down orders on a little handheld tablet, and I suspect he may have just pushed the wrong buttons — something easily done when one is still learning — but there were still a lot of mistakes that required correction. I apologized to the couple, saying, “I’m sorry for the inconvenience. It’s his first day. I’ll comp (免费招待) your meal and get you another waiter.” The woman smiled and said, “Oh, don’t worry about that. It was just a simple mistake, easily fixed. There’s no need to refund (偿还数额)us anything. We can wait for the kitchen to make the right food.” She turned to the new starter, saying, “Everyone makes mistakes, especially on their first day.” Then she said to me, “We’d love for him to keep waiting for our table. He can use us as practice.” 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。 Para1. In fact, I was a little hesitant. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para2. For a few days, the couple became regulars, always requesting the new starter to be their waiter. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
