One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them. It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves. 4. Why did the homeless man approach the author? A. To ask for a lift. B. To beg for money. C. To request a burrito. D. To seek company. 5. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Where to sit in the restaurant. B. What to order for the homeless man. C. Whether to buy dinner for the homeless man. D. Whether to allow the homeless man to enter the restaurant. 6. Why does the author mention his birthday in paragraph 3? A. To demonstrate his wonderful childhood. B. To stress the importance of enjoying a feast. C. To contrast his life with that of the homeless man. D. To describe the happy feelings of the homeless man. 7. What does the author suggest doing in the last paragraph? A. Treating others with respect. B. Fighting against the world of hunger. C. Encouraging acts of bravery. D. Paying attention to the homeless. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者帮助一位流浪汉进入餐馆用餐并让他感受到尊重和温暖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He asked me for some change to buy a little food.(他向我要些零钱买点吃的)”可知，无家可归的男子靠近作者是为了乞讨钱。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in.(当他终于跟着我进来时，柜台后面的人拒绝让他进来，但我告诉他们我要给他买晚餐，他有权待在那里。我们就这件事争论了一会儿后，他们终于让步了)”可知，作者和柜台后面的人争论了一会儿后，他们才同意让流浪汉进入餐馆，“it”指“是否允许流浪汉进入餐馆”。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time.(我觉得他很特别，就像他得到了关注，我可以看出他已经很久没有这种感觉了)”以及作者提及小时候生日时妈妈准备蛋糕带来的快乐，可知作者是用自己的快乐感受来描述无家可归男子当时的幸福心情。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It’s more about giving them the respect and dignity of being a human being and allowing them to feel good about themselves.(更多的是给予他们作为人的尊重和尊严，让他们自我感觉良好)”可知，作者在最后一段建议要尊重他人。故选A。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of life and death, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This way could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 8. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 9. What does Alexandros intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 10. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 11. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Advanced and promising. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍人工智能在地震预测领域展现出良好前景，介绍了一款预测准确率达70%的AI算法的工作原理、研究意义，同时说明了后续测试计划与长远研发目标。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings in the Earth.(经过训练后，该人工智能通过在地底的背景隆隆声中捕捉即将发生地震的信号来做出预测。)”可知，这款人工智能是通过分析地球内部的背景声音来预测地震的。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第三段“Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.(即便只有70%的准确率，这也是一项重大成果，有助于减少经济与人员损失，还有潜力大幅提升全球的地震防灾准备工作。)”可知，Alexandros想要说明这款人工智能预测技术的重大意义。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas.(目前尚不清楚这套方法能否在其他地区奏效，研究人员相信如果将该人工智能算法应用在拥有可靠地震监测网络的区域，预测结果会更加精准。下一步研究将在得克萨斯州测试这套人工智能。)”可知，后续研究重点是在不同地区开展测试。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible.(人工智能在地震预测方面展现出广阔前景，颠覆了人们长期以来认为地震无法预测的固有认知。)”与第三段“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.(这项研究无疑是人工智能地震预测领域的里程碑。)”可知，这项地震预测技术先进且前景可观。 D Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty (有过失的) of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOIA)”. “Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety, and general stress, ” says Angus Fletcher, a researcher at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ” In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging (合并) with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read both sets of the arguments. They found the majority of the first two groups believed they had enough information to decide what to do. They said they would follow the recommendations in the article they read and thought others would make the same decision. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the schools merge. The team calls this belief IOIA. Fletcher describes it as, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us leap to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we miss necessary information. ” The team also found some were willing to change their minds — once they had all the facts. Timing also plays a role. The people in the study changed their opinions that were recently formed, not long-held beliefs. According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I'm missing that would help me understand their position better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict. 12. What was the main goal of Fletcher’s research? A. To find ways to improve debate skills. B. To identify types of information sources. C. To explain why it is necessary to stick to facts. D. To explore how to minimize misunderstandings. 13. Why did participants in Group one and two tend to have IOIA? A. They held deep-rooted beliefs. B. They received a lot of false information. C. They were exposed to one-sided arguments. D. They were worried about the school’s situation. 14. What does Fletcher suggest to fight IOIA? A. Establishing interpersonal bonds. B. Seeking to bridge the information gap. C. Encouraging others to see the big picture. D. Stressing the weaknesses in others’ positions. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Do People Insist They Are Correct? B. Does Interpersonal Conflict Lead to Stress? C. Can Conversations Affect What We Believe? D. What Contributes to Sensible Decision-making? 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在与别人争吵时，我们总认为自己是对的，这种现象被称为“信息充足错觉”(IOIA)。文章主要介绍了我们有信息充足错觉的原因。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中Fletcher所说的话““We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ”(“我们想探讨这些误解，并看看如何减少它们。”)”可知，Fletcher的研究是主要是为了探索如何最大程度地减少误解。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. (在这项研究中，研究团队在网上调查了1261名美国人。所有参与者都阅读了一篇关于一所缺水学校的虚构报道。第一组阅读的报道只给出了与另一所有更好水源的学校合并的理由。第二组阅读的报道只给出了学校保持独立并希望找到其他的方法的理由。)”可知，第一组和第二组所阅读的报道给出的理由都是单方面的，所以第一组和第二组的参与者倾向于有信息充足错觉（IOIA）。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I’m missing that would help me understand their position better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict. (根据弗莱彻的说法，当与他人意见不同时，减少IOIA的最好方法之一是停下来问自己：“我是不是漏掉了什么导致我无法更好地理解他们的立场？” 这可以帮助减少不必要的冲突。)”可知， Fletcher建议，要想应对信息充足错觉（IOIA），你应该问自己是不是漏掉了什么导致自己无法更好地理解他们的立场，这说明要努力弥补信息差，由此可推知，Fletcher建议要通过弥补信息差来应对IOIA，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy   (IOIA)”. (在网上与陌生人或在晚餐桌上与家人争吵，感觉就像在和一堵砖墙辩论。我们可能都犯过这样的错误，自己是对的，即使我们没有掌握所有的事实。这种现象被称为“信息充足错觉”(IOIA)。)”和第二段中““We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ”(“我们想探讨这些误解，并看看如何减少它们。”)”可知，在与别人争吵时，我们总认为自己是对的，这种现象被称为“信息充足错觉”(IOIA)。文章主要介绍了我们有信息充足错觉的原因，A项“为什么人们坚持认为自己是对的？”适合作文章标题，故选A。 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. ____16____ I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”. Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle. ____17____ It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it. Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____18____ Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on. Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?” ____19____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect. ____20____ Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters. A. It just feels right to keep them. B. More often than not, the answer is “nothing”. C. Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers. D. The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think. E. We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are. F. That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself. G. The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them. 【答案】16. A 17. G 18. F 19. B 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是“禀赋效应”的表现，产生的原因和应对的方法。 【16题详解】 前文“A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday.(几天前，我试着清理一些旧课本。内心深处，我知道自己再也不会读它们了。然而，我还是觉得也许它们某天会有用)”提到作者想清理旧校书，知道不会再读但又觉得也许某天会有用，后文“I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”.(我可能并非只有自己有这种纠结：这种挣扎是一种被称为“禀赋效应”的现象)”说明这种矛盾心理是普遍存在的。A选项“It just feels right to keep them.(留着它们感觉就是对的)”很好地体现了这种矛盾心理，即虽然知道可能不会再读，但留着又觉得合理，符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 前文“Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle.(证明这种效应存在的心理学家发现，人们对自己拥有的一瓶酒的售价比他们愿意为购买同一瓶酒所出的价格要高得多)”举例说明人们对自己拥有的物品要价高，对购买相同物品出价低。G选项“The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them.(这种不一致表明，我们仅仅因为拥有某物就对其估值过高)”是对前文现象的总结，符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 前文“At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it.(起初，研究人员认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例，即失去某物的痛苦感觉是获得同等事物所带来的愉悦感的两倍)”说研究人员最初认为这是“损失厌恶”的典型案例，后文“Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours.(心理学家得出结论：我们仅仅因为某样东西属于自己就会更看重它)”说心理学家得出结论是因为物品是自己的所以更看重它。F选项“That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself.(这听起来合理，但真正的原因是所有权本身)”起到了转折作用，引出了真正的原因，符合上下文逻辑，故选F。 【19题详解】 前文“When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?”(当你犹豫是否要扔掉某样东西时，问问自己：“我现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买下这个东西？”)”说当犹豫是否扔掉东西时，问自己现在愿意花多少钱从别人那里买这个东西。B选项“More often than not, the answer is “nothing”.(通常情况下，答案是“没什么（指不愿花钱再买回自己拥有的东西）”)”承接上文，说明很多时候对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低，与后文“If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect.(如果是这样，那就清楚地表明，你重视这件物品不是因为它的实用性，而仅仅是因为禀赋效应)”对购买自己拥有的东西出价很低的原因是禀赋效应相呼应，故选B。 【20题详解】 后文“Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well.(除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间，它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去)”说除了把我们的家变成过去的储物间，它还让我们在精神上也受困于过去，说明禀赋效应有不好的影响。D选项“The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think.(拥有物品的成本往往比我们想象的要高得多)”概括了后文内容，说明禀赋效应带来的危害，故选D。 三、完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Ethan was a senior high student, and the annual Science Fair was on the way.

But to Amy, household chores were a tiresome burden and a waste of her precious time. Every time her mother asked her to wash the dishes after dinner, Amy would protest, “It’s unfair! Why should I have to do the dishes?” Usually, Mrs. Thompson would sigh and do it herself. One Monday evening, as Amy got up from the table, Mrs. Thompson began coughing violently and her face grew very pale. “I’m not feeling well,” she said and went to her bedroom without even mentioning the dishes. Amy was about to leave the dirty plates in the sink as usual, but something stopped her. She remembered her mother’s tired eyes and weak voice, and it struck her how tired her mother had looked lately — doing a demanding job and taking care of the household all by herself. Quietly, Amy walked her mother to her room, and then returned to the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, took a deep breath, and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was drying the last plate, she heard a gentle voice from behind. “Amy?” Mrs. Thompson, who was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with surprise and warmth, said very gently. Amy turned around and, feeling a little embarrassed, she mumbled, “Well... Since you’re not feeling well, I thought I’d help out tonight.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Thompson said very gently. “That means a lot to me.” That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the gentleness in her mother’s voice. “Maybe, Mom was right,” Amy thought. “Doing housework isn’t just a chore. It is a way to show love.” 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。 Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. The next morning, Amy sprang out of bed as soon as the alarm rang and tiptoed into the kitchen. She boiled eggs and made toasts. She even squeezed fresh orange juice on the bread. When her mother came to the kitchen, Amy said cheerfully, “Surprise, Mom! I find I am very good at preparing breakfast! Now, you could rest a bit more until you’re fully recovered.” As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. She no longer saw it as a duty but a way to contribute to the family. She took on more tasks — sweeping the floors, tidying the living room, and even joining her mother in the garden on weekends. Mrs. Thompson was overjoyed by the change. What’s more, Amy discovered that working side by side with her mother had become their special time to talk and bond — and their relationship grew closer than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了艾米原本认为做家务是负担，但母亲生病后她主动洗碗，意识到做家务是表达爱的方式的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“睡觉前，艾米把闹钟调早了40分钟。”可知，第一段可描写艾米早起后主动为母亲做早餐，以及母亲的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，艾米对家务的态度开始改变。”可知，第二段可描写艾米对家务态度的具体转变，以及她从中获得的成长和感悟。 2.续写线索： 艾米早起——准备早餐——母亲惊喜——艾米态度转变——主动承担家务——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①踮起脚尖走进厨房：tiptoe into the kitchen/walk into the kitchen on tiptoe ②打扫地板：sweep the floors/clean the floors ③承担任务：take on tasks/undertake tasks/accept tasks 情绪类 ①高兴地：cheerfully/happily/joyfully ②高兴的：overjoyed/delighted/pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】When her mother came to the kitchen, Amy said cheerfully, “Surprise, Mom!

B I was a volunteer with the city of Milpitas and was studying at Mission College. One night after going to class, I was heading home and decided to stop off at a burrito (墨西哥卷饼) restaurant. I got my burrito and started to head for my car when I was approached by a homeless man. He was very dirty and obviously very hungry. He asked me for some change to buy a little food. As I was pulling some change out, I had an idea. I asked him to follow me back into the burrito restaurant to order. He was ashamed of the way he looked and said he did not want to go in there. But I insisted. When he finally followed me in, the people behind the counter (柜台) refused to let him in, but I told them that I was buying him dinner and he had a right to be there. After we argued over it for a while, they finally gave in. It seemed like he was relieved a bit to be sitting at a table. I asked him to order whatever he wanted. But he only ordered a burrito. For someone who has been on the fringes (边缘) of society, he was very surprised at my generosity. But to me, it was what any “human being” should do or at least offer. You had to be there to see the look in his face. It reminded me when I was young, my mom brought out a big birthday cake for me on my birthday, with all the candy, chocolate and goodies that we were about to eat. I think he felt special, like he was getting attention, something that I could see he hadn’t experienced in a long time. I often think about this story because, to me, it’s not just about helping someone out by feeding them.

Researchers at the University of Texas have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of upcoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (Tex Net). “It’s a matter of life and death, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help reduce economic and human losses and has the potential to significantly improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau Tex Net has 300 earthquake stations and over six years’ worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This way could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 8. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 9. What does Alexandros intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 10. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 11. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Advanced and promising. D Getting into arguments with strangers online or family members at the dinner table can feel a bit like debating with a brick wall. We are probably all guilty (有过失的) of feeling like we are right, even if we don’t have all the facts. This phenomenon is called the “illusion of information adequacy (IOIA)”. “Interpersonal conflict is on the rise, driving increases in anger, anxiety, and general stress, ” says Angus Fletcher, a researcher at the Ohio State University. “We wanted to look into those misunderstandings and see how they could be reduced. ” In the study, the team surveyed 1, 261 Americans online. All the participants read an article about an imaginary school with water shortage. Group one read an article that only gave reasons for merging (合并) with another school that has better water. Group two read an article that only gave reasons for the schools staying separate and hoping for other solutions to the problem. Group three was the control group that read both sets of the arguments. They found the majority of the first two groups believed they had enough information to decide what to do. They said they would follow the recommendations in the article they read and thought others would make the same decision. About 55 percent of the control group recommended the schools merge. The team calls this belief IOIA. Fletcher describes it as, “The less our brain knows, the more confident it is that it knows all it needs to know. This makes us leap to confident conclusions and decisive judgments, when we miss necessary information. ” The team also found some were willing to change their minds — once they had all the facts. Timing also plays a role. The people in the study changed their opinions that were recently formed, not long-held beliefs. According to Fletcher, one of the best ways to reduce IOIA when disagreeing with someone is to stop and ask, “Is there something I'm missing that would help me understand their position better? ” This can help reduce unnecessary interpersonal conflict. 12. What was the main goal of Fletcher’s research? A. To find ways to improve debate skills. B. To identify types of information sources. C. To explain why it is necessary to stick to facts. D. To explore how to minimize misunderstandings. 13. Why did participants in Group one and two tend to have IOIA? A. They held deep-rooted beliefs. B. They received a lot of false information. C. They were exposed to one-sided arguments. D. They were worried about the school’s situation. 14. What does Fletcher suggest to fight IOIA? A. Establishing interpersonal bonds. B. Seeking to bridge the information gap. C. Encouraging others to see the big picture. D. Stressing the weaknesses in others’ positions. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Why Do People Insist They Are Correct? B. Does Interpersonal Conflict Lead to Stress? C. Can Conversations Affect What We Believe? D. What Contributes to Sensible Decision-making? 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读短文，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。 A few days before, I tried clearing out some old schoolbooks. Deep down, I knew I would never read them again. Yet I realized with myself that maybe they would be helpful someday. ____16____ I am probably not alone in this: this struggle is a phenomenon known as the “Endowment Effect (禀赋效应)”. Psychologists who demonstrated the effect found that people demanded a much higher price to sell a bottle of wine they owned than they were willing to pay to buy that same bottle. ____17____ It explains why we are so unwilling to give something up once we own it. Why does this happen? At first, researchers thought it was a classic case of “loss aversion”, where the pain of losing something feels twice as strong as the pleasure of gaining it. ____18____ Psychologists conclude that we value something more simply because it is ours. We project our identity onto the object, making it painful to move on. Fortunately, there is an effective counteraction: shifting your perspective from an “owner” to a “buyer”. When you are hesitating to throw something away, ask yourself: “How much would I pay to buy this from others now?” ____19____ If that is the case, it is a clear sign you value the item not for its usefulness, but simply for the endowment effect. ____20____ Besides turning our homes into storage units for the past, it makes us mentally trapped in them as well. Recognizing this is the first step toward the liberation of living with less. Make space for what truly matters. A. It just feels right to keep them. B. More often than not, the answer is “nothing”. C. Thus, a price gap exists between buyers and sellers. D. The cost of ownership is often far greater than we think. E. We often mistakenly believe these items define who we are. F. That sounds logical, but the real reason is the sense of ownership itself. G. The inconsistency reveals we overvalue things just because we possess them. 三、完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) Ethan was a senior high student, and the annual Science Fair was on the way.

But to Amy, household chores were a tiresome burden and a waste of her precious time. Every time her mother asked her to wash the dishes after dinner, Amy would protest, “It’s unfair! Why should I have to do the dishes?” Usually, Mrs. Thompson would sigh and do it herself. One Monday evening, as Amy got up from the table, Mrs. Thompson began coughing violently and her face grew very pale. “I’m not feeling well,” she said and went to her bedroom without even mentioning the dishes. Amy was about to leave the dirty plates in the sink as usual, but something stopped her. She remembered her mother’s tired eyes and weak voice, and it struck her how tired her mother had looked lately — doing a demanding job and taking care of the household all by herself. Quietly, Amy walked her mother to her room, and then returned to the kitchen. She stared at the mountain of dishes, took a deep breath, and rolled up her sleeves. Just as she was drying the last plate, she heard a gentle voice from behind. “Amy?” Mrs. Thompson, who was standing in the doorway, her eyes wide with surprise and warmth, said very gently. Amy turned around and, feeling a little embarrassed, she mumbled, “Well... Since you’re not feeling well, I thought I’d help out tonight.” “Thank you, sweetheart,” Mrs. Thompson said very gently. “That means a lot to me.” That night, as Amy lay in bed, she couldn’t stop thinking about the gentleness in her mother’s voice. “Maybe, Mom was right,” Amy thought. “Doing housework isn’t just a chore. It is a way to show love.” 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。 Before sleeping, Amy set the clock 40 minutes earlier. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As time went on, Amy’s attitude to household work began to change. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
