It was a beautiful gold and green jacket, the school colors. It was given to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years. The scholarship jacket was not paid for; it was free. Only one jacket was awarded each year. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade, and this year I had been looking forward to owning that jacket. My father was a farm laborer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed eight children, so I knew I could never buy sports clothes or nice things. The scholarship jacket was my only chance. In May, the final grades were posted. I had the highest average. I was so happy I could have screamed. I was sure I would get the jacket. A week later, the principal called me into his office. He looked uncomfortable. “Martha,” he said, “there’s been a change in the policy this year about the scholarship jacket. This year the board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the jacket.” I couldn’t believe my ears. “But the jacket has always been free,” I whispered. “I know,” he said. “But things are different now. If you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars, the jacket will be given to the next one in line.” I knew who that was: Joann. Her father was the owner of the only store in town and a member of the school board. I walked home slowly. When I told my father what had happened, he looked sad. “I’ll try to get the money,” he said. But I knew he couldn’t. We didn’t have extra money for anything. The next day I went back to the principal’s office. “I won’t pay for the scholarship jacket,” I said. “If you have to pay for it, it won’t be a scholarship jacket anymore.” He stared at me. Then he sighed. “Okay, Martha. We’ll make an exception in your case. You can have the jacket.” I almost cried. I knew I had won something more important than a jacket. I had won self-respect. 24. Why did Martha attach great importance to the scholarship jacket? A. She wanted to show it off to her classmates. B. It was the only nice thing she could obtain. C. Her father asked her to get it. D. It could help her get into a good high school. 25. What do we know about Joann from the passage? A. Her father had a high social status. B. She had higher grades than Martha. C. She was Martha’s close friend. D. She refused to pay for the jacket. 26. Which of the following best describes Martha’s feeling when she was told she could get the jacket for free? A. Amazed and annoyed. B. Calm and unconcerned. C. Disappointed and helpless. D. Touched and proud. 27. What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Good grades can win us true respect. B. We shouldn’t yield to the authority. C. Standing firm on right brings more. D. A reward’s value depends on whether it’s free. C A mock job advertisement that has done the rounds recently calls for a “killswitch engineer” for OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT. The description requires the successful applicant to stand by servers all day and unplug them “if this thing turns on us”. Despite widespread fears of job losses owing to the rise of artificial-intelligence (AI) agents, it is not all dark humor. The technology is already creating new roles — to train agents, placing them in organizations and ensure that they behave. Many of these new jobs, moreover, require uniquely human skills. Start with data annotators. No longer are they merely low-paid workers tediously tagging images. As AI models have become more advanced, experts in finance, law and medicine have increasingly been enlisted to help train them. Mercor, a startup that has built a platform to hire such smart people to help build bots, was recently valued at $10bn. Its chief executive says they earn $90 an hour on average. Once bots are trained, teams of so-called forward deployed engineers (FDEs) are needed to put them into organizations. In practice, their jobs are a blend of developer, consultant and salesman. They work on-site to customize AI tools for a client and make them run. The number of FDEs is growing fast, though it started small. Waymo, a fast-growing robotaxi firm, is an example of how the job of a developer is evolving. Waymo’s cars drive themselves. But what if they break down, locking their passengers inside? Then comes the need for what he calls “the guy — or gal — in the sky”, a remote human helper who needs to understand not just the technology, but also how to handle upset passengers. Software engineers used to be sought after for their coding abilities, not their people skills. No longer. Writing code can now be done by an algorithm. “Your personality is where your value is.” Another job is to set rules to ensure that AI agents do not bring chaos. A research group led by Cisco, a maker of networking gear, recently examined 50 IT jobs across rich countries. The fastest growing, even more so than AI programmers, was AI risk-and-governance specialists, who are typically involved in ensuring that bots do not leak data or cause a company’s operations to crash, among other things. In charge of all these roles is the chief AI officer. Chief AI officers usually combine technical expertise with deep knowledge of a particular industry. The typical large enterprise uses as many as 11 generative-AI models, according to IBM, an IT company, and is constantly being bombarded by vendors trying to sell agents for every conceivable function. Those in charge may already feel like reaching for that killswitch. 28. Why does the author mention the “killswitch engineer” joke at the beginning of the passage? A. To prove OpenAI needs such engineers urgently. B. To show people’s widespread concern about potential risks of AI. C. To argue that AI will definitely turn against humans. D. To stress that AI will cause massive job losses soon. 29. According to Paragraph 4, what has become the key value for AI-related engineers today? A. Strong coding abilities. B. Rich experience in designing cars. C. Good personality and people skills. D. Ability to work alone without communication. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI development brings new jobs that require unique human skills. B. Many traditional jobs are disappearing due to AI development. C. AI is so dangerous that a killswitch is needed immediately. D. Chief AI officers are responsible for stopping AI from functioning. D The Servant (1963) is an unforgettable film that ruthlessly explores the relationship between a cunning valet (Dirk Bogarde) and his weak-willed master (James Fox). The valet exploits his master’s weaknesses until their roles are reversed: by the end, the master humbly serves the valet. Yet today, it’s hard not to think of another troubled relationship — the one between workers and their smartphones. Smart devices can be empowering. They provide instant access to a vast amount of information. They allow people to work from home instead of squeezing into crowded trains with strangers. This is especially helpful for parents who need flexible hours. Smartphones and tablets also improve efficiency by letting people use spare moments that would otherwise be wasted, such as while queuing for coffee. But for most people the servant has become the master. Not long ago only doctors were on call all the time. Now everybody is. Bosses think nothing of invading their employees’ free time. Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office. Otherwise—some people check their smartphones obsessively, even during pre-dinner drinks, and send e-emails first thing in the morning and last thing at night. This is partly because smartphones are addictive. Smartphones provide relentless stimuli, stimulus interspersed with rewards. Whenever you check the glowing rectangle, there is a fair chance you will see a message from a client, a herogram from your boss or at least an e-mail from a stranger offering you $1m if you share your bank details with him. Hyperconnectivity exaggerates some of the most destabilizing trends in the modern workplace: the decline of certainty and the general cult of flexibility. Smartphones make it easier for managers to change their minds at the last moment: for example, to e-mail a minion at 11 pm to tell him he must fly to Pittsburgh tomorrow. Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between “on-time” and “off-time” — and indeed between real work and make-work. Executives are lumbered with two overlapping workdays: a formal one full of meetings and an informal one spent trying to keep up with the torrent of e-mails and messages. How can we reap the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves? One solution is digital dieting. Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits, so the abundance of junk information means they have to be more disciplined about their browsing habits. Banning browsing before breakfast can reintroduce a little bit of civilization. Banning texting at weekends or, say, on Thursdays, can really show the iPhone who is boss. In “Sleeping with Your Smartphone”, Leslie Perlow argues that for most people the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act collectively rather than individually. She tells the story of how one of the world’s most hard-working organizations, the Boston Consulting Group, learned to manage hyperconnectivity better. The firm introduced rules about when people were expected to be offline, and encouraged them to work together to make this possible. It eventually forced people to work more productively while reducing burnout. 31. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ______. A. posing a contrast B. justifying reversed roles C. making a comparison D. explaining a film named “servant” 32. According to paragraph 5, which of the following is a consequence of hyperconnectivity in the workplace? A. Employees have fewer meetings during the formal workday. B. Managers find it harder to change plans at the last minute. C. Workers can clearly separate “on-time” from “off-time”. D. Executives face meetings and constant messages. 33. What solutions to hyperconnectivity does the author present? A. Banning browsing and texting. B. Individual digital dieting and collective action with shared offline rules. C. Acting collectively and forcing people to work more productively. D. Working more productively and reducing burnout. 34. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. When Smartphones Become the Master of Humans. B. Advantages and Disadvantages of Smart Devices. C. How to Break Away From Hyperconnectivity. D. The Film The Servant and Its Social Influence. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less People often assume that the more choices they have, the happier and more satisfied they will be. In modern society, we are surrounded by an endless number of decisions, from small daily choices such as food and clothes to important life decisions such as education and careers. ____35____ However, psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of “the paradox of choice,” which suggests that too many choices can actually lead to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction. ____36____ They may worry about making the wrong choice or missing out on better opportunities. This mental pressure is known as “choice overload”. ____37____ Even when people choose something they like, they may continue to wonder whether another option would have been better. This feeling of doubt prevents them from fully enjoying their choice and often leads to regret. Furthermore, too many choices can make people set unreasonably high standards. ____38____ In contrast, having fewer choices allows people to make decisions more easily and feel more confident about their final choice. To avoid the negative effects of too many choices, experts suggest limiting options and focusing on personal needs rather than searching for perfection. ____39____ Understanding the paradox of choice helps people make calmer, clearer, and happier decisions in daily life. A. They begin to expect perfect results, and when reality falls short, they feel disappointed. B. Making wise decisions is essential for a happy and fulfilling life. C. By accepting that “good enough” is often sufficient, people can reduce stress and feel more satisfied with their decisions. D. Many people believe that having more options increases freedom and improves the quality of decisions. E. People tend to spend too much time comparing different choices. F. Too many choices also reduce satisfaction after a decision is made. G. When people are faced with too many options, they often struggle to make a decision. 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 In the early 1990s, Holly Deiaco-Smith, a 19-year-old girl, boarded a plane to France, where she would spend a year studying abroad. Within a few weeks of arriving in France, though, her excitement turned into an overwhelming sense of isolation and loneliness. Navigating day-to-day life in a new country was much harder than she expected it to be, especially when it came to speaking French. Constantly fighting to be understood was emotionally exhausting. The only thing getting her through was the knowledge that a little piece of home was on the way. “My mom had sent me Skippy peanut butter, which, at that point, I could not find anywhere in France. So this was really exciting for me.” Deiaco-Smith recalled. Deiaco-Smith had to go to the post office to pick up the package. When she arrived, she tried to tell the attendant why she was there. But the attendant didn’t speak any English and couldn’t understand Deiaco-Smith’s accent when she spoke in French. “The more I repeated myself, the more frustrated I got and the more hopeless I felt. I was about ready to break down in tears, when in walked my unsung hero.” The person who came to Deiaco-Smith’s rescue was a French woman named Chantal Jouve. “She stepped in and she looked at me and said, in English, ‘Can I help you?’ And she spoke to the attendant, and within two minutes, the package was in my hands.” After helping her get the package, Jouve invited Deiaco-Smith to her house for dinner the following Sunday. “It became a regular thing every Sunday to have dinner with her and her family. I really felt like I was at home there.” Decades later, Deiaco-Smith and Jouve are still in touch. They exchange cards every Christmas and have visited each other’s families. “To this day, her act of kindness has influenced my life in many ways,” Deiaco-Smith said. “I tend to pay attention a little bit more for people who might need help. And I’m forever grateful that Madame Jouve did that for me.” 40. What made Holly feel isolated and lonely in France? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What was the only thing that supported Holly through the hard time? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Deiaco-Smith failed to communicate with the post office attendant because the attendant could only speak broken French. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43.

It was a beautiful gold and green jacket, the school colors. It was given to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years. The scholarship jacket was not paid for; it was free. Only one jacket was awarded each year. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade, and this year I had been looking forward to owning that jacket. My father was a farm laborer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed eight children, so I knew I could never buy sports clothes or nice things. The scholarship jacket was my only chance. In May, the final grades were posted. I had the highest average. I was so happy I could have screamed. I was sure I would get the jacket. A week later, the principal called me into his office. He looked uncomfortable. “Martha,” he said, “there’s been a change in the policy this year about the scholarship jacket. This year the board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the jacket.” I couldn’t believe my ears. “But the jacket has always been free,” I whispered. “I know,” he said. “But things are different now. If you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars, the jacket will be given to the next one in line.” I knew who that was: Joann. Her father was the owner of the only store in town and a member of the school board. I walked home slowly. When I told my father what had happened, he looked sad. “I’ll try to get the money,” he said. But I knew he couldn’t. We didn’t have extra money for anything. The next day I went back to the principal’s office. “I won’t pay for the scholarship jacket,” I said. “If you have to pay for it, it won’t be a scholarship jacket anymore.” He stared at me. Then he sighed. “Okay, Martha. We’ll make an exception in your case. You can have the jacket.” I almost cried. I knew I had won something more important than a jacket. I had won self-respect. 24. Why did Martha attach great importance to the scholarship jacket? A. She wanted to show it off to her classmates. B. It was the only nice thing she could obtain. C. Her father asked her to get it. D. It could help her get into a good high school. 25. What do we know about Joann from the passage? A. Her father had a high social status. B. She had higher grades than Martha. C. She was Martha’s close friend. D. She refused to pay for the jacket. 26. Which of the following best describes Martha’s feeling when she was told she could get the jacket for free? A. Amazed and annoyed. B. Calm and unconcerned. C. Disappointed and helpless. D. Touched and proud. 27. What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Good grades can win us true respect. B. We shouldn’t yield to the authority. C. Standing firm on right brings more. D. A reward’s value depends on whether it’s free. 【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了家境贫寒的玛莎凭借优异成绩本应获得免费的荣誉奖学夹克，校方却临时更改规则要求付费，实则想把夹克转交给校董之女。玛莎坚守原则、拒绝妥协，最终破例拿到夹克，并收获了宝贵的自尊。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My father was a farm laborer who couldn’t earn enough money to feed eight children, so I knew I could never buy sports clothes or nice things. The scholarship jacket was my only chance.(我父亲是一名农场雇工，收入微薄，根本养不活八个孩子。所以我心里清楚，自己永远买不起运动服或是漂亮衣物。这件奖学金夹克，便是我唯一的希望。)”可知，玛莎格外看重这件奖学夹克是因为这是她唯一能拥有的好东西。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第七段“I knew who that was: Joann. Her father was the owner of the only store in town and a member of the school board.(我认出那人是谁了：是乔安。她父亲是镇上唯一一家商店的店主，同时也是校董会的成员。)”可知，从文章中我们能了解到乔安的父亲社会地位较高。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I almost cried. I knew I had won something more important than a jacket. I had won self-respect.(我差点哭了。我明白，我赢得的远比一件夹克珍贵，我收获了自尊。)”可知，得知可以免费拿到夹克时，玛莎的心情是感动且自豪的。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第九段“I won’t pay for the scholarship jacket(我不会为这件奖学夹克付费)”、第十段“ You can have the jacket.(这件夹克就给你吧)”和最后一段“I knew I had won something more important than a jacket. I had won self-respect.(我明白，我赢得了比夹克本身更珍贵的东西 —— 那就是自尊。)”可知，我们能从这篇文章中得到的启示是坚守正义会收获更多。 C A mock job advertisement that has done the rounds recently calls for a “killswitch engineer” for OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT. The description requires the successful applicant to stand by servers all day and unplug them “if this thing turns on us”. Despite widespread fears of job losses owing to the rise of artificial-intelligence (AI) agents, it is not all dark humor. The technology is already creating new roles — to train agents, placing them in organizations and ensure that they behave. Many of these new jobs, moreover, require uniquely human skills. Start with data annotators. No longer are they merely low-paid workers tediously tagging images. As AI models have become more advanced, experts in finance, law and medicine have increasingly been enlisted to help train them. Mercor, a startup that has built a platform to hire such smart people to help build bots, was recently valued at $10bn. Its chief executive says they earn $90 an hour on average. Once bots are trained, teams of so-called forward deployed engineers (FDEs) are needed to put them into organizations. In practice, their jobs are a blend of developer, consultant and salesman. They work on-site to customize AI tools for a client and make them run. The number of FDEs is growing fast, though it started small. Waymo, a fast-growing robotaxi firm, is an example of how the job of a developer is evolving. Waymo’s cars drive themselves. But what if they break down, locking their passengers inside? Then comes the need for what he calls “the guy — or gal — in the sky”, a remote human helper who needs to understand not just the technology, but also how to handle upset passengers. Software engineers used to be sought after for their coding abilities, not their people skills. No longer. Writing code can now be done by an algorithm. “Your personality is where your value is.” Another job is to set rules to ensure that AI agents do not bring chaos. A research group led by Cisco, a maker of networking gear, recently examined 50 IT jobs across rich countries. The fastest growing, even more so than AI programmers, was AI risk-and-governance specialists, who are typically involved in ensuring that bots do not leak data or cause a company’s operations to crash, among other things. In charge of all these roles is the chief AI officer. Chief AI officers usually combine technical expertise with deep knowledge of a particular industry. The typical large enterprise uses as many as 11 generative-AI models, according to IBM, an IT company, and is constantly being bombarded by vendors trying to sell agents for every conceivable function. Those in charge may already feel like reaching for that killswitch. 28. Why does the author mention the “killswitch engineer” joke at the beginning of the passage? A. To prove OpenAI needs such engineers urgently. B. To show people’s widespread concern about potential risks of AI. C. To argue that AI will definitely turn against humans. D. To stress that AI will cause massive job losses soon. 29. According to Paragraph 4, what has become the key value for AI-related engineers today? A. Strong coding abilities. B. Rich experience in designing cars. C. Good personality and people skills. D. Ability to work alone without communication. 30. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI development brings new jobs that require unique human skills. B. Many traditional jobs are disappearing due to AI development. C. AI is so dangerous that a killswitch is needed immediately. D. Chief AI officers are responsible for stopping AI from functioning. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了人工智能发展催生了需要人类独有技能的新职业。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Despite widespread fears of job losses owing to the rise of artificial-intelligence (AI) agents, it is not all dark humor.(尽管人工智能助手的兴起让人们普遍担心会出现失业问题，但这则广告并非完全是黑色幽默。)”可推知，作者开篇提到“紧急关停工程师”这则玩笑的目的是为了展示大众普遍担忧人工智能存在潜在风险。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Software engineers used to be sought after for their coding abilities, not their people skills. No longer. Writing code can now be done by an algorithm. “Your personality is where your value is.”(过去，软件工程师受人青睐，靠的是编码能力，而非人际交往能力。如今局面已然改变。编写代码这项工作，现在算法就能完成。个人特质，才是你的核心价值所在。)”可推知，根据第四段，如今人工智能相关工程师的核心价值是良好的个人素养与沟通能力。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The technology is already creating new roles — to train agents, placing them in organizations and ensure that they behave. Many of these new jobs, moreover, require uniquely human skills.(这项技术已然催生了不少新岗位：负责训练智能程序、将其部署到各类机构中，并保障其规范运行。此外，这些新岗位大多依赖人类独有的能力。)”可知，文章主要讲述了人工智能发展催生了需要人类独有技能的新职业。 D The Servant (1963) is an unforgettable film that ruthlessly explores the relationship between a cunning valet (Dirk Bogarde) and his weak-willed master (James Fox). The valet exploits his master’s weaknesses until their roles are reversed: by the end, the master humbly serves the valet. Yet today, it’s hard not to think of another troubled relationship — the one between workers and their smartphones. Smart devices can be empowering. They provide instant access to a vast amount of information. They allow people to work from home instead of squeezing into crowded trains with strangers. This is especially helpful for parents who need flexible hours. Smartphones and tablets also improve efficiency by letting people use spare moments that would otherwise be wasted, such as while queuing for coffee. But for most people the servant has become the master. Not long ago only doctors were on call all the time. Now everybody is. Bosses think nothing of invading their employees’ free time. Work invades the home far more than domestic chores invade the office. Otherwise—some people check their smartphones obsessively, even during pre-dinner drinks, and send e-emails first thing in the morning and last thing at night. This is partly because smartphones are addictive. Smartphones provide relentless stimuli, stimulus interspersed with rewards. Whenever you check the glowing rectangle, there is a fair chance you will see a message from a client, a herogram from your boss or at least an e-mail from a stranger offering you $1m if you share your bank details with him. Hyperconnectivity exaggerates some of the most destabilizing trends in the modern workplace: the decline of certainty and the general cult of flexibility. Smartphones make it easier for managers to change their minds at the last moment: for example, to e-mail a minion at 11 pm to tell him he must fly to Pittsburgh tomorrow. Employees find it ever harder to distinguish between “on-time” and “off-time” — and indeed between real work and make-work. Executives are lumbered with two overlapping workdays: a formal one full of meetings and an informal one spent trying to keep up with the torrent of e-mails and messages. How can we reap the benefits of connectivity without becoming its slaves? One solution is digital dieting. Just as the abundance of junk food means that people have to be more disciplined about their eating habits, so the abundance of junk information means they have to be more disciplined about their browsing habits. Banning browsing before breakfast can reintroduce a little bit of civilization. Banning texting at weekends or, say, on Thursdays, can really show the iPhone who is boss. In “Sleeping with Your Smartphone”, Leslie Perlow argues that for most people the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act collectively rather than individually. She tells the story of how one of the world’s most hard-working organizations, the Boston Consulting Group, learned to manage hyperconnectivity better. The firm introduced rules about when people were expected to be offline, and encouraged them to work together to make this possible. It eventually forced people to work more productively while reducing burnout. 31. In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by ______. A. posing a contrast B. justifying reversed roles C. making a comparison D. explaining a film named “servant” 32. According to paragraph 5, which of the following is a consequence of hyperconnectivity in the workplace? A. Employees have fewer meetings during the formal workday. B. Managers find it harder to change plans at the last minute. C. Workers can clearly separate “on-time” from “off-time”. D. Executives face meetings and constant messages. 33. What solutions to hyperconnectivity does the author present? A. Banning browsing and texting. B. Individual digital dieting and collective action with shared offline rules. C. Acting collectively and forcing people to work more productively. D. Working more productively and reducing burnout. 34. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. When Smartphones Become the Master of Humans. B. Advantages and Disadvantages of Smart Devices. C. How to Break Away From Hyperconnectivity. D. The Film The Servant and Its Social Influence. 【答案】31. C 32. D 33. B 34. A 【解析】 【导语】文章以经典电影《仆人》中主仆身份颠倒的情节作类比，讨论了“智能手机从工具变为掌控人的“主人””这一现象。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The valet exploits his master’s weaknesses until their roles are reversed: by the end, the master humbly serves the valet. Yet today, it’s hard not to think of another troubled relationship — the one between workers and their smartphones. (仆人利用主人的弱点，最终二人身份彻底颠倒：到最后，反倒变成主人卑微地侍奉仆人。而如今，人们难免联想到另一种失衡的关系 —— 人与智能手机之间的关系。)”可知，电影里主仆身份颠倒，而如今人和手机也形成了类似的失衡关系。由此可知，作者在首段通过进行类比来引出话题。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Executives are lumbered with two overlapping workdays: a formal one full of meetings and an informal one spent trying to keep up with the torrent of e-mails and messages.(高管们如今要应付两段重叠的工作时段：一段是充斥着各类会议的正式工作时间，另一段则是忙着处理海量邮件和消息的非正式时间。)”可知，根据第五段，全天候联网给职场带来的后果是高管既要参加会议，还要应对海量消息。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“One solution is digital dieting.(一个解决办法便是数字节食。)”和最后一段“In “Sleeping with Your Smartphone”, Leslie Perlow argues that for most people the only way to break the 24/7 habit is to act collectively rather than individually…. The firm introduced rules about when people were expected to be offline, and encouraged them to work together to make this possible.(莱斯利・珀洛在《与手机同眠》一书中提出，对大多数人而言，想要摆脱全天候在线的状态，唯有依靠集体行动，而非单打独斗。……这家公司制定了员工离线休息的相关规定，并鼓励大家协作配合，落实这项制度。)”可知，作者提出了个人数字节食和集体执行离线规则等办法来应对过度联网。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Yet today, it’s hard not to think of another troubled relationship — the one between workers and their smartphones. (而如今，人们难免联想到另一种失衡的关系 ——人与智能手机之间的关系。)”可知，文章主要讨论了手机从工具变成掌控人的“主人”这一现象，由此可知，A项“当智能手机成为人类的主宰”是适合的标题。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，共10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less People often assume that the more choices they have, the happier and more satisfied they will be. In modern society, we are surrounded by an endless number of decisions, from small daily choices such as food and clothes to important life decisions such as education and careers. ____35____ However, psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of “the paradox of choice,” which suggests that too many choices can actually lead to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction. ____36____ They may worry about making the wrong choice or missing out on better opportunities. This mental pressure is known as “choice overload”. ____37____ Even when people choose something they like, they may continue to wonder whether another option would have been better. This feeling of doubt prevents them from fully enjoying their choice and often leads to regret. Furthermore, too many choices can make people set unreasonably high standards. ____38____ In contrast, having fewer choices allows people to make decisions more easily and feel more confident about their final choice. To avoid the negative effects of too many choices, experts suggest limiting options and focusing on personal needs rather than searching for perfection. ____39____ Understanding the paradox of choice helps people make calmer, clearer, and happier decisions in daily life. A. They begin to expect perfect results, and when reality falls short, they feel disappointed. B. Making wise decisions is essential for a happy and fulfilling life. C. By accepting that “good enough” is often sufficient, people can reduce stress and feel more satisfied with their decisions. D. Many people believe that having more options increases freedom and improves the quality of decisions. E. People tend to spend too much time comparing different choices. F. Too many choices also reduce satisfaction after a decision is made. G. When people are faced with too many options, they often struggle to make a decision. 【答案】35. D 36. G 37. F 38. A 39. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了选择悖论：人们通常认为选择越多越幸福，但过多选择反而会带来压力、焦虑、不满与后悔，还会让人设定过高期待，文末也给出了应对过多选择负面影响的建议。 【35题详解】 根据前文“People often assume that the more choices they have, the happier and more satisfied they will be. In modern society, we are surrounded by an endless number of decisions, from small daily choices such as food and clothes to important life decisions such as education and careers.(人们通常认为选择越多，就会越快乐、越满足。在现代社会，我们面临着数不胜数的抉择，从饮食、穿搭这类日常小事到教育、事业等人生大事皆是如此。)”及后文“However, psychologist Barry Schwartz introduced the idea of “the paradox of choice,” which suggests that too many choices can actually lead to stress, anxiety, and dissatisfaction.(然而，心理学家Barry Schwartz提出了“选择悖论”的概念，这个观点认为太多的选择实际上会导致压力、焦虑和不满。) ”可知，前文讲述了大众普遍觉得选择多多益善的观点；结合下文转折内容，空处应延续这一主流看法。选项D“Many people believe that having more options increases freedom and improves the quality of decisions.(很多人认为拥有更多选择能增加自由，也能提升决策质量)”承接上文观点，符合语境。 【36题详解】 根据后文“They may worry about making the wrong choice or missing out on better opportunities. This mental pressure is known as “choice overload”.(他们会担心做出错误选择，或是错失更好的机会，这种心理压力被称为“选择超载”。)”可知，后文讲述了选择过多带来的心理困扰。空处应引出人们面对众多选择时的困境，选项G“When people are faced with too many options, they often struggle to make a decision.(当人们面对太多选择时，往往难以做出决定)”衔接后文内容，逻辑通顺。 【37题详解】 根据后文“Even when people choose something they like, they may continue to wonder whether another option would have been better. This feeling of doubt prevents them from fully enjoying their choice and often leads to regret.(即便人们选到了心仪的选项，他们仍继续会暗自琢磨另一个选择会不会更好。这种疑虑会让人无法充分享受自己的选择，还常常心生懊悔。)”可知，本段围绕做出选择之后的负面感受展开。选项F“Too many choices also reduce satisfaction after a decision is made.(过多的选择也会降低人们做出决定后的满足感)”总领本段内容，契合语境。 【38题详解】 根据前文“Furthermore, too many choices can make people set unreasonably high standards.(此外，过多的选择会让人们设立不切实际的高标准。)”可知，前文提到人们会定下过高标准，空处需要承接这一内容，说明高标准带来的结果。选项A“They begin to expect perfect results, and when reality falls short, they feel disappointed.(他们开始期待完美的结果，当现实不尽如人意时，就会感到失望)”承接前文，逻辑连贯。 【39题详解】 根据前文“To avoid the negative effects of too many choices, experts suggest limiting options and focusing on personal needs rather than searching for perfection.(为了规避过多选择带来的负面影响，专家建议减少选项、关注自身需求，而非一味追求完美。)”以及后文“Understanding the paradox of choice helps people make calmer, clearer, and happier decisions in daily life.(理解选择悖论，能帮助人们在日常生活中做出更从容、清晰且幸福的抉择。)”可知，空前说明专家提出关注自身需求，不要一味追求完美的建议，空后说明理解选择悖论的益处，空处应具体说明不追求完美的做法和好处。选项C“By accepting that “good enough” is often sufficient, people can reduce stress and feel more satisfied with their decisions.(接受“知足常乐”的心态，人们就能减轻压力，对自己的选择更加满意)”衔接上下文，符合文意。 第三部分 书面表达 (共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题；第40、41题各2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分) 阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 In the early 1990s, Holly Deiaco-Smith, a 19-year-old girl, boarded a plane to France, where she would spend a year studying abroad. Within a few weeks of arriving in France, though, her excitement turned into an overwhelming sense of isolation and loneliness. Navigating day-to-day life in a new country was much harder than she expected it to be, especially when it came to speaking French. Constantly fighting to be understood was emotionally exhausting. The only thing getting her through was the knowledge that a little piece of home was on the way. “My mom had sent me Skippy peanut butter, which, at that point, I could not find anywhere in France. So this was really exciting for me.” Deiaco-Smith recalled. Deiaco-Smith had to go to the post office to pick up the package. When she arrived, she tried to tell the attendant why she was there. But the attendant didn’t speak any English and couldn’t understand Deiaco-Smith’s accent when she spoke in French. “The more I repeated myself, the more frustrated I got and the more hopeless I felt. I was about ready to break down in tears, when in walked my unsung hero.” The person who came to Deiaco-Smith’s rescue was a French woman named Chantal Jouve. “She stepped in and she looked at me and said, in English, ‘Can I help you?’ And she spoke to the attendant, and within two minutes, the package was in my hands.” After helping her get the package, Jouve invited Deiaco-Smith to her house for dinner the following Sunday. “It became a regular thing every Sunday to have dinner with her and her family. I really felt like I was at home there.” Decades later, Deiaco-Smith and Jouve are still in touch. They exchange cards every Christmas and have visited each other’s families. “To this day, her act of kindness has influenced my life in many ways,” Deiaco-Smith said. “I tend to pay attention a little bit more for people who might need help. And I’m forever grateful that Madame Jouve did that for me.” 40. What made Holly feel isolated and lonely in France? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 41. What was the only thing that supported Holly through the hard time? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Deiaco-Smith failed to communicate with the post office attendant because the attendant could only speak broken French. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. Share an experience where you felt kindness from a stranger in your life. (In about 40words) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】40. It was hard to live daily life there, especially speaking French. / The difficulty of dealing with daily life in a new country and the trouble in speaking French made her feel isolated and lonely. 41. A care package from her mom was on the way. / Skippy peanut butter sent by her mom. / The knowledge that a little piece of home — the Skippy peanut butter package sent by her mom — was on the way supported her. 42. Deiaco-Smith failed to communicate with the post office attendant because the attendant could only speak broken French and knew a little English. According to the passage, Deiaco-Smith failed to communicate with the post office attendant because she didn’t speak any English. The attendant didn’t speak any English and could not understand Holly’s French accent, rather than speaking broken French. 43. On a rainy day, I forgot to take an umbrella and got stuck in the street. A kind stranger shared her umbrella with me and walked me to the nearest stop.

I’d like to offer two practical suggestions. First, organize a “Heart-to-Heart Sharing Session”. This session allows students to sit face-to-face, share daily troubles, study pressure and interesting stories, helping them listen patiently and understand each other, thus narrowing the distance between peers. Besides, hold cooperative team games. Tasks like group puzzles require close communication and cooperation without electronic devices. Working together helps them break the ice quickly, build trust and strengthen bonds in a relaxed way. These activities fit the “Connection” theme well and can solve the alienation problem. I hope my suggestions are helpful to you. Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】题目要求考生以李华的名义给好友Jim写一封邮件，就他正在策划一次主题为“连接”的活动提出建议。 【详解】1.词汇积累 高兴的：glad→delighted 帮助：help→assist 加强：strengthen→enhance 解决：solve→settle 2.句式拓展 同义句 原句：I’m glad to know you’re planning an activity themed “Connection” to ease interpersonal alienation in the AI era. 拓展句：I’m glad to know you’re planning an activity whose theme is “Connection” to ease interpersonal alienation in the AI era. 【点睛】[高分句型1]This session allows students to sit face-to-face, share daily troubles, study pressure and interesting stories, helping them listen patiently and understand each other, thus narrowing the distance between peers.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]Working together helps them break the ice quickly, build trust and strengthen bonds in a relaxed way.（运用了动名词短语作主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
