B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，说明和介绍申请路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）的入学要求和申请流程。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由Academic Record部分中的“A high school GPA of at least 3.0 based on 19 core units. If you have a 3.77GPA or above, you have a very good chance of being admitted.(基于19个核心单元，高中平均成绩至少为3.0。如果你的平均成绩为3.77分或以上，你很有可能被录取。)”可知，影响路易斯安那州立大学录取的关键因素是选项A.High school GPA(高中平均成绩)。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由“Application Submission”的最后一项“The application fee is $50.(申请费为50美元。)”可知，在入学申请过程中必须提供的是选项A(申请费)。故选A项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章标题“Application Requirements for LSU(路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）)的申请要求”以及第一段“To apply for admission to Louisiana State University (LSU), you’ll need to consider the following requirements:(申请路易斯安那州立大学（LSU）的录取，您需要考虑以下要求)”可知，文章描述的是申请易斯安那州立大学的要求，属于申请指南，选项B符合。故选B项。 B Jasmine is on my Zoom screen. She is pulling her hair. As she starts talking, the rate of the pulling increases. “My exam is on Friday,” she tells me. “What if I get a question I can’t answer? What if I don’t get a good grade?” Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety. The word “anxiety” originates from Latin, meaning narrowing. The “narrowing” describes what’s happening in Jasmine’s nervous system. Basically, the sympathetic (交感神经) branch — fight-or-flight — has switched on, and her muscles have narrowed as if she’s preparing to do battle or run away. Commonly known as the “rest and digest” branch, the parasympathetic (副交感神经) nervous system plays an important role in thinking and learning by promoting a state of relaxation and calmness. When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration. There are three simple tools for engaging the parasympathetic branch: breathing, grounding, and sensing. Breathing means a steady flow of breath; grounding means feeling the chair and the floor supporting you; and sensing means turning on one or more of the five senses. In more than 40 years of coaching test-takers, I have observed how often they hold their breath, how nervous and ungrounded they are, and how unaware they are of feeling the touch of clothes on their own bodies. No wonder people are exhausted by the end of a long test! When they use the three calming tools, they create the state necessary for sitting still, thinking, remembering, reasoning, and, finally, answering questions. We all face countless tests in everyday life. Unexpected, unwanted things happen to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm? In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm? 4. Why does the author mention Jasmine in the first paragraph? A. To show students’ hard life. B. To introduce a problem students face. C. To compare different attitudes towards tests. D. To analyse students’ behaviors during video calls. 5. What change would the engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system bring? A. Improved attention. B. Worsened anxiety. C. Tightened muscles. D. Quickened response. 6. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer thinks it important ________. A. to take some tests to make progress B. to attach importance to comparison and competition C. to learn to avoid unexpected and unwanted things in life D. to prepare students with the ways to keep calm during tests 7. What is the text mainly about? A. What do students face in tests. B. How to deal with test anxiety. C. How to engage the nervous system. D. What is the origin of the word “anxiety”. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了学生面临的考试焦虑问题，分析了其生理机制（交感神经过度激活），并介绍了三种激活副交感神经来缓解焦虑的方法（呼吸、接地和感知），最后呼吁教育应注重教学生如何保持冷静而非一味强调竞争比较。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety.(Jasmine只是众多患有考试焦虑的学生之一)”可推知，作者提到Jasmine是为了引出学生面临的考试焦虑这一问题。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration.(当副交感神经系统被激活时，它会减轻压力和焦虑，提高专注力和注意力)”可知，激活副交感神经能够改善注意力。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm?(但真正的问题是：与其强迫学生通过无休止的比较和竞争来进步，为什么我们不去教他们如何保持冷静呢？)”可推知，作者认为教学生如何在考试中保持冷静是很重要的。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章第一段引出考试焦虑问题，第二段分析焦虑的生理机制，第三段提出三种缓解焦虑的具体工具，最后一段呼吁教学生保持冷静。由此可知，全文围绕“如何应对考试焦虑”展开。 C In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs?” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s . A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability. 9. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”? A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept. C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments. 10. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work. B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces. C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off. D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们面对看似异常优惠的报价时，因怀疑其真实性而倾向于拒绝的心理现象，并解释了背后的心理学原理。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. (在最初的实验中，近40%的参与者吃了免费提供的饼干，相比之下，提供5美元的参与者中约有20%吃了饼干。另外九项实验，涉及4000多名参与者，使用在线问卷来呈现其他场景。这些条件包括给钱让他们搭车回家，极高的建筑工作工资，以及便宜得惊人的机票。在每种情况下，超过某一点，更高的潜在金钱收益降低了参与者接受提议的可能性。)”可知，实验主要关注人们的决策过程，即“决策制定”。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” (该研究的主要作者Vonasch说，这表明，与“标准经济模型”相反，交易也需要被理解为人们试图了解彼此思想的社会互动。“标准经济模型”假设人类总是寻求利益最大化。如果有人似乎违反了公认的规则，比如自利，而没有任何解释，我们就会假设他们有隐藏的动机，并推断会有“幻影成本”——想象的后果会降低Vonasch所说的报价的“心理价值”。)”可知，作者在第三段中提到“standard economic model”是为了进一步解释实验，帮助读者理解人们的决策过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. (当下以外的因素可能会起作用。英国雷丁大学的心理学家雷切尔·麦克洛伊说：“理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们亏欠他们，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿。”研究人员还展示了如何mitigate这种影响：简单地提供一个交易的理由。)”可知，理解别人的过度慷慨可能会让我们亏欠他们，这也有助于解释人们的不情愿，简单地提供一个交易的理由是为了减轻这种影响，因此mitigate在这里的意思是“减少，减轻”。A. Analyse分析；B. Improve改进；C. Measure测量；D. Lessen减少，减轻。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” (在《人格与社会心理学公报》上发表的一项研究中，研究人员发现，人们倾向于拒绝“免费的钱”，以及异常高的薪水或可疑的廉价服务，因为它们看起来“好得令人难以置信”。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人们面对看似“好得令人难以置信”的报价时的心理反应，即因为担心存在隐藏的代价而拒绝接受。选项C“Phantom costs: Why ‘too good to be true’ scares people off (幻影成本：为什么“好得令人难以置信”会吓跑人们。)”准确地概括了文章的主旨，符合题意。故选C。 D Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two. Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间). Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales. Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits. The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies. 12. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs? A. They are adapted ones. B. They are developed merely for smell. C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are fixed universally in numbers. 13. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton? A. The teeth that baleen whales have. B. The smell that phytoplankton send. C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off. 14. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4? A. By quoting a theory. B. By using examples. C. By making contrast. D. By making inferences. 15. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph? A. The sense of smell. B. The possibility to attract food. C. The ability to locate food. D. The ability to communicate. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍的是关于须鲸的鼻孔的相关知识。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea.(很少有人知道，呼吸孔是一种经过轻微进化的鼻孔，对于在海洋中生活的哺乳动物来说，它的形式更有用)”可知，根据前两段，鲸鱼的鼻孔是调整过的，故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales.(当它们受到攻击时，它们会释放一种叫做二甲硫的特殊气体，反过来吸引须鲸)”可知，当须鲸捕食浮游动物时，浮游植物散发的气味起了作用。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming.(例如，有两只眼睛的动物可以通过比较来自每只眼睛的图像来感知深度。它们有两只耳朵，可以确定声音传来的方向)”可知，第四段通过举例解释立体感觉的概念。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies.(除了让它们呼吸外，一些鲸鱼似乎还用它们的气孔来确定晚餐在哪个方向)”可知，鼻孔的位置与定位食物的能力有关。故选C。 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Guest-list Dilemma You’ve arranged a day out with two closest friends. However, another friend who’s usually not part of the group is desperate to come along. You feel you should include him because of kindness, but you worry it might ruin the dynamic of your usual gathering. ____16____ However, there are ways to find a solution. Why does it weigh heavily? Humans are born to seek security. ____17____So, being left out of social occasions can make you feel anxious and low, and impact your self-perception.

It can help everyone bond, deepen friendships, and even boost your self-confidence if the day goes well. ____18____ There might be several reasons for wanting to keep numbers low. For example, some people don’t get on and you might worry that the person you bring along wouldn’t fit in. ____19____ honest communication: clearly express that you don’t want to hurt or exclude them. Show you are honoring someone’s wish to be included while explaining the situation’s complexity. Being clear and kind helps prevent misunderstandings. In order to strike a balance, remember, you should care about others’ feelings as well as your own. Be kind and sensitive to others’ feelings. ____20____ A. What changes can you make? B. How can you deal with the problem? C. The conflict can be tricky to manage. D. A sense of belonging is an instinctive need. E. Meanwhile, keep sight of what feels right for you. F.

To save time, Judy fed the topic “My Hero” to an AI tool. Within thirty seconds, a polished text appeared: Newton, Lincoln, Tesla... The stories of virtually any famous person came alive with perfect sentences. She printed it out, feeling satisfied with this neat yet shallow, fancy article. To her, it was a quick way to win without much effort. However, the rehearsal (彩排) was a total disaster. Under the bright stage lights, she struggled to recall the long, difficult sentences. The words felt like borrowed clothes that didn’t fit. Coach Kim frowned, his eyes full of disappointment. “Good voice, Judy, but where is your heart? These aren’t your heroes.” Judy forced a smile, but the coach’s words stayed in her mind all afternoon. That night, the familiar rattle (哐当声) of metal wheels woke her up. Looking out of the window, she saw her parents pushing their food cart (小推车) into the cold darkness. Dad whispered, “Fog’s thick. Gloves ready?” Mom answered, “Always.” Watching their fading figures, Judy felt a sharp pang in her heart. Suddenly, the “heroes” in her AI-generated text seemed so far away, while the true heroes were right here in the cold wind. She sat at her laptop, deleted every word of the AI text, and typed: “My heroes leave at 4 am, so the city can eat at 7 am.” She wrote about the worn-out gloves and the smell of steaming hot dogs. The words were plain, but they breathed with true love. The contest day finally came. Judy stood behind the curtain, legs shaking. Her parents sat in the third row, still wearing their faded work jackets. Judy pressed her handwritten speech to her chest, felt her heart pounding heavily, and whispered: “Stay calm.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came Judy’s turn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Then came Judy’s turn. Stepping onto the bright stage, Judy took a deep breath and looked straight at her parents. Instead of reciting stiff fancy sentences, she spoke softly and sincerely. She shared how her parents stuck to their food cart every early morning, braving cold wind and thick fog to bring warmth to others. Her plain but heartfelt words flowed naturally. Tears welled up in her eyes as she talked about their hard work and silent dedication. The whole audience listened quietly, totally touched by her genuine story. After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. Everyone stood up, cheering for her moving speech. Judy spotted her parents clapping warmly with tearful smiles, their eyes filled with pride. Coach Kim nodded in approval, clearly impressed by her sincere performance. Judy finally understood that true speeches lie in real feelings rather than fancy AI words. True heroes are ordinary people who stick to their duties and bring warmth to life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Judy为加分借助AI撰写英雄主题演讲稿，内容华丽却空洞。彩排时因缺乏真情实感遭教练点评，深受触动。深夜目睹父母凌晨冒寒出摊谋生，她幡然醒悟，重写文稿讲述平凡父母的坚守与付出。比赛上她真挚讲述亲身故事，打动全场，也领悟到真情远比华丽辞藻珍贵，平凡坚守者亦是英雄。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写比赛上Judy真挚讲述亲身故事，打动全场。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Judy演讲成功，领悟到真情远比华丽辞藻珍贵，平凡坚守者亦是英雄。 2.续写线索：讲述亲身故事——打动全场——爆发掌声——Judy感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走上：step onto/walk onto ②欢呼：cheer for/applause for ③理解：understand/comprehend 情绪类 ①动人的：moving/touching ②真诚的：sincere/genuine 【点睛】 【高分句型1】She shared how her parents stuck to their food cart every early morning, braving cold wind and thick fog to bring warmth to others.(运用了how引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语) 【高分句型2】Tears welled up in her eyes as she talked about their hard work and silent dedication.(运用了as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 $ 2026年春学期高二年级阶段性检测英语学科试题（6月） 总分150分；时长120分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音读两遍。 1.

As she starts talking, the rate of the pulling increases. “My exam is on Friday,” she tells me. “What if I get a question I can’t answer? What if I don’t get a good grade?” Jasmine is just one of the students suffering from test anxiety. The word “anxiety” originates from Latin, meaning narrowing. The “narrowing” describes what’s happening in Jasmine’s nervous system. Basically, the sympathetic (交感神经) branch — fight-or-flight — has switched on, and her muscles have narrowed as if she’s preparing to do battle or run away. Commonly known as the “rest and digest” branch, the parasympathetic (副交感神经) nervous system plays an important role in thinking and learning by promoting a state of relaxation and calmness. When the parasympathetic nervous system is stirred up, it reduces stress and anxiety, improving focus and concentration. There are three simple tools for engaging the parasympathetic branch: breathing, grounding, and sensing. Breathing means a steady flow of breath; grounding means feeling the chair and the floor supporting you; and sensing means turning on one or more of the five senses. In more than 40 years of coaching test-takers, I have observed how often they hold their breath, how nervous and ungrounded they are, and how unaware they are of feeling the touch of clothes on their own bodies. No wonder people are exhausted by the end of a long test! When they use the three calming tools, they create the state necessary for sitting still, thinking, remembering, reasoning, and, finally, answering questions. We all face countless tests in everyday life. Unexpected, unwanted things happen to everyone. Wouldn’t it be a whole lot better if we faced the tests by being calm? In case you’re wondering, the answer is “Yes!” But the real question is: Instead of forcing students to progress through endless comparison and competition, why don’t we teach them how to stay calm? 4. Why does the author mention Jasmine in the first paragraph? A. To show students’ hard life. B. To introduce a problem students face. C. To compare different attitudes towards tests. D. To analyse students’ behaviors during video calls. 5. What change would the engagement of the parasympathetic nervous system bring? A. Improved attention. B. Worsened anxiety. C. Tightened muscles. D. Quickened response. 6. From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer thinks it important ________. A. to take some tests to make progress B. to attach importance to comparison and competition C. to learn to avoid unexpected and unwanted things in life D. to prepare students with the ways to keep calm during tests 7. What is the text mainly about? A. What do students face in tests. B. How to deal with test anxiety. C. How to engage the nervous system. D. What is the origin of the word “anxiety”. C In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money,” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services, because they seem “too good to be true.” In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely – compared with about 20 percent of those offered $5 as well. Nine further experiments, involving more than 4,000 participants, used online questionnaires to present other scenarios. These included being offered money to accept a ride home, extremely high construction-job wages and surprisingly cheap flights. In each case, past a certain point, higher potential monetary gain reduced participants’ likelihood of accepting the offer. The study lead author Vonasch says it illustrates that contrary to the “standard economic model,” which supposes humans always seek to maximize gains, transactions need to also be understood as social interactions between people trying to understand each other’s minds. If someone seems to break accepted rules, such as self-interest, without any explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs” – imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value.” Factors beyond the present moment may come into play. “Understanding that others’ perceived over-generosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist at England’s University of Reading. The researchers also showed how to mitigate the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable. “Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” Vonasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it was sufficient explanation.” The scientists are now experimenting with whether phantom costs play into humans’ interactions with robots and artificial intelligence. “If AI is overly generous, will people imagine phantom costs?” Vonasch says. “People tend to treat AI as if they have a mind, when obviously they don’t.” 8. According to paragraph 2, the experiments mainly focus on people’s . A. Thinking method. B. Decision making. C. Financial condition. D. Potential ability. 9. Why does the author mention “standard economic model”? A. To explain the experiments further. B. To clarify a psychological concept. C. To provide evidence for the study. D. To express doubt on the experiments. 10. What does the underlined word “mitigate” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Analyse. B. Improve. C. Measure. D. Lessen. 11. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Phantom costs: Where “standard economic model” doesn’t work. B. Phantom costs: Whether people’s likelihood of accepting an offer reduces. C. Phantom costs: Why “too good to be true” scares people off. D. Phantom costs: How imagined consequences prevent hidden motives. D Any schoolchild knows that a whale breathes through its blowhole. Fewer know that a blowhole is a nostril (鼻孔) slightly changed by evolution into a form more useful for a mammal that spends its life at sea. And only a dedicated expert would know that while toothed whales, such as sperm whales, have one hole, baleen (鲸须) whales, such as humpback and Rice whales, have two. Even among the baleen whales, the placing of those nostrils differs. In some species they are close together. In others, they are much further apart. In a paper published in Biology Letters Conor Ryan, a marine biologist at the Scottish Association for Marine Science, suggests why that might be. Having two nostrils, he argues, helps whales smell in stereo (立体空间). Many types of baleen whales eat tiny animals known as zooplankton (浮游动物), which they catch by filtering (过滤) them from seawater using the sheets of fibrous baleen that have replaced teeth in their mouths. But to eat something you first have to find it. Toothed whales do not hunt by scent. In fact, the olfactory bulb—the part of the brain that processes smell—is absent in such creatures. But baleen whales still have olfactory bulbs, which suggests smell remains important. And scent can indeed give zooplankton away. Zooplankton like to eat other tiny creatures called phytoplankton (浮游植物). When these are under attack, they release a special gas called dimethyl sulphide, which in turn attracts baleen whales. Most animals have stereoscopic senses. Having two eyes, for instance, allows an animal to compare the images from each in order to perceive depth. Having two ears lets them locate the direction from which a sound is coming. Dr Ryan theorized that paired blowholes might bring baleen whales the same sorts of benefits. The farther apart the sensory organs are, the more information can be extracted by the animal that bears them. The researchers used drones to photograph the nostrils of 143 whales belonging to 14 different species. Sure enough, baleen whales that often eat zooplankton, such as the North Atlantic right whale, have nostrils that are farther apart than do those, such as humpback whales, that eat zooplankton occasionally. Besides allowing them to breathe, it seems that some whales use their blowholes to determine in which direction dinner lies. 12. What do we know about whales’ nostrils according to the first two paragraphs? A. They are adapted ones. B. They are developed merely for smell. C. They are not easy to detect. D. They are fixed universally in numbers. 13. What plays a role when baleen whales hunt zooplankton? A. The teeth that baleen whales have. B. The smell that phytoplankton send. C. The sound waves that zooplankton create. D. The chemical signals that zooplankton give off. 14. How is the concept of stereoscopic senses explained in paragraph 4? A. By quoting a theory. B. By using examples. C. By making contrast. D. By making inferences. 15. What is the position of nostrils related to according to the last paragraph? A. The sense of smell. B. The possibility to attract food. C. The ability to locate food. D. The ability to communicate. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Guest-list Dilemma You’ve arranged a day out with two closest friends.

To save time, Judy fed the topic “My Hero” to an AI tool. Within thirty seconds, a polished text appeared: Newton, Lincoln, Tesla... The stories of virtually any famous person came alive with perfect sentences. She printed it out, feeling satisfied with this neat yet shallow, fancy article. To her, it was a quick way to win without much effort. However, the rehearsal (彩排) was a total disaster. Under the bright stage lights, she struggled to recall the long, difficult sentences. The words felt like borrowed clothes that didn’t fit. Coach Kim frowned, his eyes full of disappointment. “Good voice, Judy, but where is your heart? These aren’t your heroes.” Judy forced a smile, but the coach’s words stayed in her mind all afternoon. That night, the familiar rattle (哐当声) of metal wheels woke her up. Looking out of the window, she saw her parents pushing their food cart (小推车) into the cold darkness. Dad whispered, “Fog’s thick. Gloves ready?” Mom answered, “Always.” Watching their fading figures, Judy felt a sharp pang in her heart. Suddenly, the “heroes” in her AI-generated text seemed so far away, while the true heroes were right here in the cold wind. She sat at her laptop, deleted every word of the AI text, and typed: “My heroes leave at 4 am, so the city can eat at 7 am.” She wrote about the worn-out gloves and the smell of steaming hot dogs. The words were plain, but they breathed with true love. The contest day finally came. Judy stood behind the curtain, legs shaking. Her parents sat in the third row, still wearing their faded work jackets. Judy pressed her handwritten speech to her chest, felt her heart pounding heavily, and whispered: “Stay calm.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then came Judy’s turn. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After two seconds’ silence, thunderous applause erupted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
